Exit Planning: A Tale of Two Companies
May 29, 2018 | Business & Corporate
Matthew J. Lapointe, Esq., Business & Corporate, Health Care Law
Estella Havisham and Abel Magwitch each founded construction companies as C corporations in the mid-1980s, in similar but non-competing markets. In the early 2000s, Estella and Abel each decided that they wanted to retire and exit their businesses by 2010.
In 2002, Estella and Abel each hired a well-respected business valuation firm to appraise their businesses and each was pleasantly surprised to learn that their companies were worth about $5 million. Both Estella and Abel decided that they wanted to increase their businesses' values to $8 million over the next eight years and then retire.
Estella began by investing heavily in equipment and went on a hiring spree to keep up with the high housing demand. She typically worked 60-hour weeks. Always a hard worker who didn't see the need for consultants and attorneys, the only advisor she spoke to was her CPA, and that was only during tax season. Despite her CPA's suggestions, Estella did not convert her C-corporation to an S-corporation, knowing that she could "zero out" every year by paying herself bonuses and by maximizing her deductions. Hard work and a drive to succeed in a man's industry had gotten her this far, and she was sure it would bring her a successful retirement.
After getting his appraisal, Abel called his CPA, alerting her of his desire to exit his company within eight to 10 years. Abel's CPA directed him to an attorney she knew who specialized in business transition planning. The attorney first reviewed Abel's estate plan to make sure all was in order. He then asked Abel about his management team, inquiring whether they had the wherewithal to run the company in the event something happened to Abel. Identifying the gaps in his management team, Abel went to work filling them, while the attorney prepared employment agreements with strong incentive programs and non-competition covenants.
The CPA filed the necessary paperwork to convert Abel's C-corp to an S-corp, a process that would take about 10 years because of the built-in gains Abel had amassed over the years. The CPA encouraged Abel to build up the company's reserves, initially by taking less in current compensation. Over the next five years, as his management team got up to speed, Abel gradually went from working 60-hour weeks to 30-hour weeks. His attorney referred him to a business broker with a proven track record in the construction industry, who identified two smaller competitors for acquisition to broaden the company's market share. By the end of 2007, Abel was confident that he had key employees in place who could either buy the company when he was ready to retire or could run the company if Abel chose to sell to an outside buyer.
The "Great Recession" hit the housing industry like a hurricane in 2008, and both companies suffered. Estella's cash flow fell dramatically. She had to lay off most of the people she had hired several years earlier. The equipment she had purchased often sat unused. Through hard work and determination, Estella kept the business afloat and kept to her plan to retire by 2010. Although her business was valued at just $6 million in 2010 ($2 million short of her $8 million goal), Estella decided to sell because she was tired of working 60-hour weeks. The best offer she got was for $5.5 million. While her attorney was able to lessen the tax hit by allocating a sizable portion of the purchase price to personal goodwill, the company's C-corp status resulted in "double taxation," of the remainder of the purchase price, resulting in a $2.25 million net payout to Estella.
Abel's company felt pain during the recession, too, but his layoffs were minimal, thanks to the cash he had saved through strategic tax planning. The two companies he bought years earlier increased his business' value to $15 million, and his strong management team made his company attractive to buyers despite the Great Recession. His conversion to an S corporation lowered the taxes on his company's sale and in 2010, he sold to an outside buyer, netting $10 million post-tax.
When starting their businesses, both Estella and Abel had big plans. They both worked hard and implemented strategies that they thought would help them reach their financial goals. Building value in their business and protecting that value were paramount. But one sought out professional advice and the other decided to go it alone. Both suffered setbacks, and both ended up selling their businesses as planned. But Abel benefited greatly by consulting with appropriate experts well before his planned exit date. He implemented their recommendations and ended up much better off than Estella who decided to save money by not consulting with experts and going it alone.

Ready Player One stars urge fans to be themselves
Ready Player One stars Tye Sheridan and Olivia Cooke have told RTÉ Entertainment that they hope Steven Spielberg's gaming adventure is a rallying cry for individuality, and a lesson on the importance of stepping away from the online world.
The acclaimed film sees Sheridan and Cooke play gamers in the year 2045 who are on a quest to crack the mysteries of virtual reality world The Oasis.
Tye Sheridan and Olivia Cooke in Ready Player One
But behind the stunning visuals and heart-in-mouth set-pieces, there is plenty for audiences to take back to real life.
"The most important message to me, and the most important thing it taught me, is to embrace myself and embrace who I am inside," said Sheridan. "Because that's what makes you you.
"The most important thing it taught me is to embrace myself and embrace who I am inside"
"I think when you accept that, that's what people love about you and that's what's beautiful about yourself. Not what you look like or what you're wearing or what your latest Instagram post was."
"Following on from Instagram and stuff, I think it's everything in moderation," Cooke continued.
"I think it's important to disconnect and then connect in reality and be a responsible part of society"
"I think it's important to disconnect and then connect in reality and be a responsible part of society and protect the Earth that we're on. Otherwise we won't be able to enjoy the virtual reality experiences that humans have created."
Ready Player One is in cinemas now.

There's a traditional notion of "why rent, when you can buy?" That conventional thinking could apply to a house, since you are "paying someone else's mortgage." Ownership can be perceived as more desirable than renting.
But there are additional costs to owning something – and besides, things change. In the business intelligence software world, cloud-based technology is driving a shift from buying to renting. While most business users used to license software from the company that created it, such as buying the latest version of Adobe Photoshop in a box, it is now increasingly popular to rent it instead. This is called Software-as-a-Service, or SaaS. It is a leased software model that is delivered and managed by a provider. It lives on the cloud, and is also referred to as "software on demand" or "pay as you go." Gartner predicts that by 2020, which is just around the corner, all new entrants and 80% of historical vendors will offer subscription-based business models. SaaS is increasingly popular for office and communication software, payroll and accounting, customer relationship management (CRM), human resources management, and more.
Cost: A subscription saves money because you are just paying for the software you need. It automatically leapfrogs the up-front purchase and hardware installation costs. Instead, you just download the software. SaaS providers manage the IT infrastructure, along with costly maintenance tasks. Your monthly or annual subscription also covers support. This mode of paying can be helpful if you don't want to drop a bundle in one fell swoop, since it allows you to spread out costs over time, instead of buying licenses outright. So you can still get the latest versions and support, even on a limited budget.
Accessibility: All you need is a browser and Internet connection for SaaS, which works on a wide range of devices, including mobile devices. You don't have to come into the office to use the software. You can access it anywhere you have an Internet connection.
Flexibility: You can try before you buy, so you are not locked into anything you decide you don't want. SaaS vendors can create interfaces to allow connections to internal applications, such as CRM apps. They can also create interfaces for other SaaS providers, so that SaaS solutions can be integrated.
Scalability: You can change subscriptions as needed, which is handy if business accelerates, and suddenly more users need to access the program. And when your growing staff requires more software, you won't require more hardware, as with the traditional model.
Built-in conveniences: For starters, the SaaS delivery model is a space-saver. There is no hardware requirement, so you can free up a substantial amount of physical space. And housekeeping chores such as upgrades and security issues are in the service provider's court. You can cross those off your to-do list. You can expect seamless upgrades for the most up-to-date software versions without having to re-set any preexisting features. So anything that was customized before an upgrade will carry over to future versions.
Cloud-based SaaS is a competitive business model, and with its cost saving efficiency, it is gaining rapidly on the traditional on-premise infrastructures. Why buy when you can rent?

The second annual Walk for Memories, for Shauna Peterson and Bill Parker, is a time to honour Helene Parker, 83, grandmother and mother.
The Alzheimer Society of British Columbia is holding their annual Walk for Memories and for Shauna Peterson and Bill Parker it's a time to honour Helene Parker, 83, grandmother and mother.
"She's a firecracker," Peterson said of Helene, her grandmother, a resident at the Bulkley Lodge who suffers from Alzheimer's disease.
Although the diagnosis was a difficult one, it wasn't unexpected.
"You kind of know it's coming because you see signs of it," Parker said.
"But it's hard to see your parents in a home and they don't know what's going on, especially when they don't know you anymore.
In British Columbia, more than 70,000 people have Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia.
Both Peterson and Parker admit there isn't much you can do, but both said humour is an important part of how they cope.
"You definitely have to have a sense of humour about it," Peterson said.
In addition to a sense of humour, Parker said a key piece of advice led to an adjustment in how he interacts with his mother.
"You have to be able to live in their world," he said.
In other words, wherever the patient takes the conversation, whether it is based in reality or not, go with the flow.
In Parker's case, Helene often asks him if he's seen her parents. Each time, Parker answers in the affirmative and tells his mom her parents will be in to visit the following day.
Last year, about 120 people took part in the walk and raised $7,500.
The money raised is used for support and education, improving care for dementia patients, research and advocacy among others.
Parker described the turnout as amazing and a testament to the fact that many are touched by Alzheimer's disease in one way or another.
"I think it's great that these walks happen and it makes people more aware," Parker said.
In Smithers, the Walk for Memories takes place Jan. 27 at 2 p.m.
In-person registration begins at 1 p.m. at the Investors Group office, 3860 Alfred Ave.
Participants can also register online at www.walkformemories.com.

Dale went back to his cube for a while to update his murder book and file his report. Only one thing was on his mind — the inch-and-a-half-thick T-bone steak waiting for him in a savory marinade at home. In his mind, he grilled it to mouth-watering perfection. He left the station in a hurry. Maybe some portabella caps to go with the steak. He jingled the keys between his fingers.
Out of the blue, the hairs on the back of his neck stood on end. Just as he turned, pain in his chest spread like fire. The air left his lungs with a whump.
He heard a sound that struck fear in his heart. Oh shit, I've been shot.
His backside hit the ground with such force that he could feel the rough asphalt as it dug into his flesh.
Something warm spread over his torso. He touched it and looked at his bloodied hand. The toothpick fell from his lips as his head hit the asphalt.
Feet pounded.
People were yelling.
He wished they'd shut up.

Curt Emmelius (* 26. August 1882 in Gießen; † 7. Dezember 1968 in Göttingen) war ein deutscher Eisenbahnbeamter.

Leben
Emmelius besuchte das humanistische Gymnasium in Gießen. Während seines Studiums wurde er in Darmstadt Mitglied der Studentenverbindung Gesellschaft Burg. Sein Maschinenbaustudium an der Technischen Hochschule Berlin schloss er 1908 mit Auszeichnung ab. Zusätzlich legte er Im Juni 1911 die Große Staatsprüfung ab.

Wirken
Emmelius trat als Regierungsbaumeister in den Dienst der Preußischen Staatsbahn. In den Folgejahren stieg er schrittweise im maschinentechnischen Dienst auf. 1917 wurde er Regierungsbaurat. Von der Deutschen Reichsbahn wurde Emmelius 1920 übernommen. 1924 wurde er zum Oberreichsbahnrat und 1927 zum Reichsbahndirektor befördert. Ab 1932 leitete er das Reichsbahn-Zentralamt (RZA) für Maschinenbau. Nachdem Ernst Spiro, der jüdische Leiter des Reichsbahn-Zentralamts für Einkauf, im Februar 1933 aus rassistischen Gründen beurlaubt worden war, übernahm Emmelius kommissarisch auch die Leitung dieses Zentralamts. Die seit 1930 bestehenden vier Zentralämter wurden 1936 wieder wie vor 1930 zusammengelegt, Emmelius wurde Direktor des neuen RZA Berlin und blieb bis zum Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs auf dieser Position. Am 30. November 1937 beantragte er die Aufnahme in die NSDAP und wurde rückwirkend zum 1. Mai desselben Jahres aufgenommen (Mitgliedsnummer 5.849.768). Zusammen mit Mitarbeitern des RZA verlagerte er kurz vor Kriegsende wesentliche Materialien und Akten des RZA an einen Ausweichstandort in Göttingen.

Ab Mitte 1945 leitete Emmelius das als Nachfolger des RZA Berlin neugegründete, der Reichsbahn-Generaldirektion in der Britischen Zone zugeordnete RZA Göttingen. 1947 ging er in Ruhestand.

When you Sign Up you will be asked to enter a nickname and your e-mail address. To ensure the validity of the Registry, free-mail type e-mail addresses (such as hotmail and yahoo) are not allowed. Refer to the Privacy notice below regarding your e-mail address. Once you sign-up, your registry password will be immediately e-mailed to you at the e-mail address you provide. You can modify your password once you Log On.
Important! The SS Registry database and the Monte Carlo SS Community Forum are two separate software entities. Each requires a separate registration account. You will not be able to post messages on the Message Board with your SS Registry user ID and password. Just as you will not be able to add a registry entry with your Message Board User ID and password. You can use the same User ID for both to make it easy to remember, but it is not required. On both systems, once you have your system issued random password, you can modify that password to anything, and at that point make both match each other. To register on the MonteCarloSS.com Community Forum, CLICK HERE.
When you add a record into the Registry, you will be asked to complete a form that describes your SS. Be sure to answer all entry fields. There are entries to link to your web homepage and an image of your SS. If you do not have a web page and/or image to link to, just leave those entries default (default = http://). If you fail to answer all required entries, an error window will appear telling you which fields must be completed. One of the required fields that you must enter is your SS's VIN number. This is required to ensure the validity of the entry. Refer to the Privacy notice below regarding your VIN number. This registry is for 4th Generation (1983 – 1988) Monte Carlo SSs only. Sorry, SS conversions and non-SS models are not included.
All records added or modified will be validated by the Registry Administrator before they will be added to the searchable Registry. You will receive an e-mail once your added/modified record has been validated.
There is an "Additional" entry field in the Registry Form where you can add any additional text about your SS that you want. Do not use the "|" character within this field. Doing so will prevent your entry from being validated.
discrepancy. So if you've changed exterior/interior colors, engine, or spoiler, please select "Modified" in the condition field. The importance of this field is high when someone is performing a search for stock options for a model year.
The 'Spoiler' field often causes some trouble because people don't know the difference between the earlier 'stand-up' style and later 'lay-down' style spoilers. All 1983 through 1986 notchback SSs came stock with the 'stand-up' style spoiler. In 1987 they made the transition between stand-up and lay-down spoiler. So some 87s had stand-up, some had laydown. There doesn't appear to be any specific cut-off date or assembly plant associated with the change. All 1988 SSs had the lay-down style spoiler, as did all Aerocoupes in 1986 and 1987. If you are unsure which type you have, please check out the THIS IMAGE for a good comparison image. If you enter a spoiler type that does not match the above stated stock options, and list your SS as stock, you will get an email during validation of the entry asking you to look into it.
One of the great features of this Registry is the ability to keep track of Stolen SSs. The "Condition" entry field in the Record entry form has a "Stolen – Not Recovered" option. Use this option to indicate that the SS is currently considered stolen. It is very important that the records of Stolen SSs are updated once they are recovered. VIN numbers will show up in the Stolen SS Search. They do not appear in any other search. To aide in the recovery of your SS, enter specific data in the "Additional" field about where and when it was stolen, what the license tag is, etc.
To satisfy the previous request for an Aerocoupe Registry, a separate search just for Aerocoupes is also available in the index above.

E-mail: Your E-mail address will only be viewable to others if you click the "YES" button on the "ShowEmail" entry when adding or modifying a Registry record. E-mail addresses are not searchable.
