As a result of direct feedback by subscribers and BV experts, BVResources has implemented the following improvements to the Pratt’s Stats® and Public Stats™ databases to make them the most useful—and useable—source of deal data:

• Source documentation.  We have added source documentation for each transaction so that users can differentiate between a transaction sourced through a contributing intermediary or an SEC filing. 
• Five new ratios.  In addition to the eight financial ratios provided for each transaction, we now calculate five new ratios, categorized by profitability, leverage, liquidity, and activity ratios.
• Additional search criteria. We’ve provided the ability to search by public and/or private buyers.
• Excel download enhancement. For added value, we have re-formatted the Excel® file download to include the Additional Notes and Terms fields.
• Search speed & quality. We’ve upgraded our software to increase the speed of searches and to allow for an increased number of search results.
