Specific examples include: • Satellites - captured through capital expenditures • Manufacturing facilities - captured through capital expenditures • Intellectual property - captured through NRE spend • Management talent - captured through the options pool and stock grants • Capital - captured through required rate of return / WACC - The valuation (or purchase price in the case of an IRR framework) resulting from the analysis needs to be allocated amongst all the assets whose costs are not captured in the cash flows • The only assets that aren't accounted for in the cash flows are the spectrum rights and landing rights • Landing rights in the Ku-band have historically been very easy to acquire and require nominal administrative fees I. lot, I Nil t rating Prote, t un.
