There are certain basis or methods of valuing shares, and not on projected balance sheet.
For new cos which have not started their earning stream, the CA should qualify his statement or valuation that it is the managements perspective.
it all depends on why the valuation is called for, and by whom, and the nature of the Co ... whether it is Pvt Ltd co or Public Ltd Co, as the shares can be offered for premium under free pricing regime or it can also be through a mutually negotiated price settlement by 2 parties.
