OTHER DUE DILIGENCE
bullet Duff and Phelps, LLC, Letter Regarding the Fairness Opinion [PDF]
bullet Duff and Phelps, LLC, Presentation to SFWMD Governing Board [PDF]
Typically rendered by an investment bank and associated with corporate mergers and acquisitions, a "fairness opinion" is an independent report on the value of an acquisition with regard to price and is designed to guide the purchase of an ongoing business. A fairness opinion is not an appraisal and is one component of due diligence.
