Key Insights

We built a comprehensive costing model taking inputs from the client’s current financial plan to develop a valuation of their biological assets and produce applicable financial statement items

The model includes a highly detailed monthly calculation page which breaks down the company’s biological fish assets by quantity, size, and associated growing costs, for each individual hatchery and production site operated.

The model allows the company to update actual data into the dashboard and obtain quarterly valuations for the next 10+ years
