6 Issues to Consider When Buying And Selling A Retail Pharmacy BUYING A PHARMACY A. Stock Purchase 1. When purchasing stock, one acquires the stock in the existing company. By acquiring the stock of a company, one assumes the existing liabilities of the company, as well as any litigation. The company characteristics remain the same. For example, if the company was a C corporation under prior management, then it will continue to be taxed as a C corporation. The possibility of double taxation exists at the C corporation level. Prior company benefits, such as retirement benefits, will continue to exist, unless new management terminates them, which could cause employee morale problems. 2. Under a stock purchase, there is no stepped up basis in the assets of the company. Asset values will remain at their historical amounts and will continue to be depreciated as they have been. 3. Increased stock price related to goodwill does not create an amortizable asset. Goodwill included in the value paid for the stock is not depreciable. 4. Buyer due diligence investigation (review of the following areas: accounts receivables, inventories, leased equipment and real estate, intangible assets such as customer lists, workforce, employee benefit plans, income tax returns, contracts review, etc.) should be performed. 5. The buyer should consider buyer s ability or inability to use the selling corporation s net operating loss carryovers, etc. 6. During the year when the outstanding stock is sold in an S corporation, the income, deductions, losses and credits must be allocated among the S corporation shareholders. The general rule for allocating these items is to assign a prorata share of each item to each shareholder based on his/her share of the stock outstanding for each day in the S corporation. Or the shareholders can elect to close the books on the day of the sale and use the specific accounting method to allocate the income, deductions, etc. between the two periods of ownership. In this case, all affected shareholders must agree to the closing of the books. 6
7 B. Asset Purchase 1. The purchaser would organize his/her own company that would then purchase assets from the selling corporation. The new company would not inherit the old company s retirement plan, employee benefit packages, asset depreciation, etc. The new company would, in essence, start from scratch. Upon incorporation of the new company, the decision regarding the type of operating entity to use will be decided. If the corporation wishes to be taxed as an S corporation, thereby avoiding the double taxation issue associated with C corporation, the election to be an S corporation is made by filing IRS Form 2553 by the 15th day of the third month of the initial tax year. Generally, for tax purposes the first $5,000 of organizational costs (including attorney incorporation charges) for the new company are deducted in the tax year in which it begins business and the remaining organizational costs are capitalized and amortized over 180 months. 2. Incorporation allows continuity of life and provides the owners personal liability protection as long as the company has a legitimate purpose and complies with corporate formalities and procedures, but for tax purposes there are two options with respect to entity taxation. a. S Corporation 1. Avoids double taxation with respect to corporate earnings corporate earnings are passed through to the shareholders and taxed on the shareholders personal income tax returns. Shareholder income increases the shareholder s adjusted cost basis of his/ her corporate stock. 2. Losses, deductions, and credits also pass through to the shareholders and are a reduction to the shareholder s adjusted cost basis of his/her stock. 3. Shareholder dividends are treated as a reduction in the shareholder s adjusted cost basis of his/her corporate stock. There is no double taxation. 4. There can only be one class of stock, and dividends should be paid proportionately based on stock ownership. Corporations, partnerships, nonresident aliens and certain types of trusts may not be shareholders in an S corporation. 5. Various states also recognize the S Corporation for income tax purposes. b. C Corporation 1. Pays corporate level income tax. 2. Appreciated assets trigger corporate level tax upon the sale at the corporate level and again to the shareholder upon liquidation or sale of the stock. 3. Shareholder dividends are taxed as dividend income on the shareholder s personal income tax return. 7
8 3. An asset sale transfers ownership of the company s assets to the new owner. Before sale closing, the parties would agree on the allocation of the purchase price. The purchase price would need to be allocated between: a. cash, demand deposits, etc., b. certificates of deposit, marketable securities, and U. S. Government securities c. debt instruments, marks-to-market assets, and accounts receivable, d. stock in trade inventory, e. furniture and fixtures, land, buildings, equipment, and vehicles, f. amortizable intangibles, except for goodwill and going concern value, would include workforce in place, business books and records, business operating system, patents, customer based intangible, supplier based intangible, license, permit or other right granted by a government unit, covenant not to compete entered into in connection with the acquisition of an interest in a trade or business, and any franchise or trademark, and g. goodwill and going concern value. 4. Certain acquisition expenses (attorney fees for the purchase/sell agreements, broker fees, title transfer fees, asset appraisals, etc.) usually are incurred by the buyer and should be added to the cost basis of the assets acquired. 5. Due diligence investigation expenses are treated as Internal Revenue Code Section 195 startup expenses. Generally, $5,000 of startup expenses can be deducted in the tax year in which the business begins and the remainder are deducted ratably over a 180-month period. 6. Both the buyer and the seller of a group of assets that makes up a trade or business must use IRS Form 8594 to report such a sale if goodwill or going concern value attaches, or could attach, to such assets and if the buyer s basis in the assets is determined only by the amount paid for the assets. In addition, the parties would need to provide each other with their federal identification numbers and addresses. 7. The new company would depreciate its newly acquired fixed assets using the purchase price allocated to the assets under the buy/sell agreement. For tax purposes, depreciation would follow the modified accelerated cost recovery system (MACRS) as defined by the Internal Revenue Code. Any goodwill or other intangibles such as covenant not to compete, would be amortized using the straight-line method over fifteen years. Under a stock purchase, you do not get to re-start depreciation; you continue with the depreciation that the Company had been using nor do you get a step-up in cost basis. You continue using the cost basis from the old company. In an asset purchase you would get to value the fixed assets at their current market values (i.e., what you paid for them) and depreciate the assets based on that valuation. In a stock purchase, if the company acquired a building in 1980 for $50,000 and has fully depreciated it, 8
9 then there is no depreciation expense benefit to the new owner, and the adjusted cost basis for the asset is zero. 8. As a new company, the employee benefits may be structured to benefit the owner. However, there are nondiscrimination rules that may apply to employee benefits. 9. An asset purchase normally shields the purchaser from any unknown or hidden liabilities of the seller. 10. Buyer due diligence investigation (review of the following areas: accounts receivables, inventories, leased equipment and real estate, intangible assets such as customer lists, workforce, employee benefit plans, income tax returns, contracts review, etc.). Please note that this is not an all inclusive list of items to consider when buying a business. 9
10 SELLING A PHARMACY A. Stock Sale 1. Stock that is held for more than one year results in long-term capital gain income. Your adjusted cost basis is subtracted from the stock sale proceeds to determine the net longterm capital gain. The tax rate for long-term capital gains is currently 15% (federal). Cost basis for an S Corporation and C Corporation will be different. a. S Corporation cost basis is computed by taking into account the purchase price of the stock, any additional capital contributions, and the company earnings. Distributions and nondeductible expenses reduce the cost basis. b. C Corporation cost basis will include the purchase price of the stock only. 2. However, the alternative minimum tax calculation may kick in. Whether or not this affects your own income tax calculation depends on your own individual circumstances. For example, the tax payments deduction for itemized deductions, which includes real estate taxes and state income taxes, is disallowed for the alternative minimum tax calculation. 3. Collection of the sales price a. Full Collection at Closing The gain on the sale will be recognized in the year of sale. b. Installment Basis or Seller Financing If the sale is financed or collected on the installment basis, then the gain is recognized over the life of the installment agreement. The gross profit percentage, which is the net gain divided by the total sales price, is applied to the principal collections each year to determine the recognized gain for each year. Capital gain treatment would still exist. However, there would also be ordinary income in the form of interest income from the installment sale. The interest factor should not be below-market-rate. The installment note should also be properly executed. 4. The new owner would continue operations of the existing company. All assets of the company would remain with the company. Fixed assets would continue being depreciated as they had been previously. Employee benefit packages would remain in existence. However, the new owner could terminate any employee benefits that they did not wish to provide. 5. Seller due diligence investigation (structure deal to minimize seller s risk, evaluate financial status and character of buyer, evaluate buyer s collateral for deferred payments, nature and amount of seller s transaction costs, etc.). 10
11 B. Asset Sale 1. An asset sale transfers ownership of the company s assets to the new owner. Before sale closing, the parties would agree on the allocation of the purchase price. The purchase price would need to be allocated between: a. cash, demand deposits, etc., b. certificates of deposit, marketable securities, and U. S. Government securities, c. debt instruments, marks-to-market assets, and accounts receivable, d. stock in trade inventory, e. furniture and fixtures, land, buildings, equipment, and vehicles, f. amortizable intangibles, except for goodwill and going concern value, and would include workforce in place, business books and records, business operating system, patents, customer based intangible, supplier based intangible, license, permit or other right granted by a governmental unit, covenant not to compete entered into in connection with the acquisition of an interest in a trade or business, and any franchise or trademark, and g. goodwill and going concern value. 2. Both the buyer and the seller of a group of assets that makes up a trade or business must use IRS Form 8594 to report such a sale if goodwill or going concern value attaches, or could attach, to such assets and if the buyer s basis in the assets is determined only by the amount paid for the assets. In addition, the parties would need to provide each other with their federal identification numbers and addresses and make sure that the Forms 8594 are prepared consistently. 3. In an asset sale, the gain will be calculated differently than in a stock sale. The corporation calculates gain based on the sales price less the adjusted cost basis of the assets. This calculation can yield ordinary income, depreciation recapture income (also ordinary income), and long-term capital gain. These computations can be quite involved depending on the number of fixed assets the corporation owns. 4. An asset purchase normally shields the purchaser from any unknown or hidden liabilities of the seller. 5. Seller due diligence investigation (structure deal to minimize seller s risk, evaluate financial status and character of buyer, evaluate buyer s collateral for deferred payments, nature and amount of seller s transaction costs, etc.). Please note that this is not an all inclusive list of items to consider when selling a business. 11
