  5. In addition to a multiple (such as 2 times revenue or 5 times EBITDA or 10 times profit), show the dollar amount of the earnings and revenues for each of the benchmark companies at the time they were priced in the market. For acquisitions, the form of payment (description of the considerations; cash, stock, debt, etc.) paid by the buyer to the sellers in exchange for the target company must be detailed.

If financial models (such as a discounted cash flow analysis) were used to value the Company in this funding round, all underlying revenue growth, profit margins, projected working capital needs, capital expenditures expectations, and the basis for discount rate used to present value future cash flow streams must be shown, with a meaningful explanation. An unfounded assertion pertaining to an input to the model will not be considered fulfillment of this requirement because the investors must receive a comprehensive rationale from presenters to make informed investment decisions.
