- Issuing stock Epstein Engineering Inc. began operations on January 5, 20Y8, with the issuance of 500,000shares of 80 par common stock. The sole stockholders of Epstein Engineering Inc. are Barb Abrams and Dr. Amber Epstein, who organized Epstein Engineering Inc. with the objective of developing a new flu vaccine. Dr. Epstein claims that the flu vaccine, which is nearing the final development stage, will protect individuals against 90% of the flu types that have been medically identified. To complete the project, Epstein Engineering Inc. needs 25,000,000 of additional funds. The local banks have been unwilling to loan the funds because of the lack of sufficient collateral and the riskiness of the business. The following is a conversation between Barb Abrams, the chief executive officer of Epstein Engineering Inc., and Amber Epstein, the leading researcher: Barb: What are we going to do? The banks wont loan us any more money, and weve got to have 25 million to complete the project. We are so close! It would be a disaster to quit now. The only thing I can think of is to issue additional stock. Do you have any suggestions? Amber: I guess youre right. But if the banks wont loan us any more money, how can we find any investors to buy stock? Barb: Ive been thinking about that. What if we promise the investors that we will pay them 5% of sales until they receive an amount equal to what they paid for the stock? Amber: What happens when we pay back the 25 million? Do the investors get to keep the stock? If they do, itll dilute our ownership. Barb: How about if after we pay back the 25 million, we make them turn in their stock for 120 per share? Thats one and one-half times what they paid for it, and they would have already gotten all their money back. Thats a 120 profit per share for the investors. Amber: It could work. We get our money but dont have to pay any interest, dividends, or the 80 per share until we start generating sales. At the same time, the investors could get their money back plus 120 per share profit. Barb: Well need current financial statements for the new investors. Ill get our accountant working on them and contact our attorney to draw up a legally binding contract for the new investors. Yes, this could work. In late 20Y8, the attorney and the various regulatory authorities approved the new stock offering, and 312,500 shares of common stock were privately sold to new investors at the stocks par of 80. In preparing financial statements for 20Y8, Barb Abrams and Dan Fisher, the controller for Epstein Engineering Inc., have the following conversation: Dan: Barb, Ive got a problem. Barb: Whats that, Dan? Dan: Issuing common stock to raise that additional 25 million was a great idea. But . . . Barb: But what? Dan: Ive got to prepare the 20Y8 annual financial statements, and I am not sure how to classify the common stock. Barb: What do you mean? Its common stock. Dan: Im not so sure. I called the auditor and explained how we are contractually obligated to pay the new stockholders5% of sales until 80 per share is paid. Then we may be obligated to pay them 120 per share. Barb: So . . . Dan: So the auditor thinks that we should classify the additional issuance of 25 million as debt, not stock! And if we put the 25 million on the balance sheet as debt, we will violate our other loan agreements with the banks. And if these agreements are violated, the banks may call in all our debt immediately. If they do that, we are in deep trouble. Well probably have to file for bankruptcy. We just dont have the cash to pay off the banks. 1. Discuss the arguments for and against classifying the issuance of the 25 million of stock as debt. 2.
