Valuation context
An estimate from the illustrative Light manufacturing SDE band (Band source: NewHands teaching assumption — illustrative planning range, not a market transaction comp dataset), not an appraisal. Customer concentration was not on the listing, so that adjustment was left at zero.
Low
$1,397,500
Midpoint
$1,741,500
High
$2,171,500
Asking price is $191,500 below the midpoint estimate (3.60× trailing SDE).
- Start with the illustrative Light manufacturing SDE band (NewHands teaching assumption): 3.00× to 4.80×, midpoint 3.80×.
- Apply disclosed adjustments totaling +0.25 to each end of the band, then floor the multiple at 0.80×.
- Multiply seller's discretionary earnings of 430,000 by the adjusted band. That is the business value, not the real estate.
- Real estate is included but no separate value was entered, so it is not in the total. Appraise it apart from the business.
