The analytical materials refer to the estimated expediency of unfriendly takeover as 10 per cent business value; in some cases, it is calculated on the basis of profit for several years. The shareholders or owners of business, who hold the valuable property accounted on the corporate balance (land, buildings or constructions, equipment, etc.), always remain in the zone of risk. The unfriendly takeover means generally the financial operation targeted to gaining the maximum profit within the shortest terms.
