Rachilla received 2,000 shares of voting common stock and a note payable for $200,000. The note payable had adequate stated interest of 5% per year and was payable in a lump sum on February 12, 2021. E. Kataland Inc.; contributed various chainsaws with an adjusted basis of $0 and a fair market value of $150,000 in exchange for 150 shares of Series B non-voting preferred stock with a cumulative 10% dividend. The series B preferred stock was mandatorily callable for its par value of $1,000 in 2029. The chainsaws were acquired by Kataland in 2016. F. MRG, LP. operated a lumber distribution center since 1999. MRG contributed accounts receivable of $1,000,000 and accounts payable of $500,000. MRG was a cash basis taxpayer. MRG received 500 shares of voting common stock. MRG LP was owned by 2 individuals, Fred and Maryann. Fred and Maryann retired to the Dominican Republic but are US citizens. The accounts payable related to salaries, business cell phone expenses and utilities. At the time of, and in connection with, its formation, Brushy Mountain Inc., borrowed $5,000,000 from the bank and pledged all its assets as collateral. The note was payable in a lump sum on February 11, 2024 and had a stated interest rate of 10% payable only if the corporation was profitable. In the event Brushy Mountain was unable to pay interest timely, the Bank receives 500 shares of common stock for each payment missed. If Brushy Mountain Inc. is unable to pay the principal back to the bank in 2024, the note is convertible into common stock of 5,000 shares at the Bank's option or it can choose to foreclose on the property. After formation, Brushy Mountain Inc. hired and trained lumberjacks from February 12, 2019 through June 30, 2019. During the training period it incurred salaries of $25,000, and property taxes of $5,000 on the land contributed by Alicia. On July 1, 2019, Brushy Mountain Inc. began its active trade/business operations. The accounts receivable contributed by MRG were collected and the accounts payable were settled for cash payment. Brushy Mountain sold all inventory contributed by David for its fair market value. Other than the associated business expenses attributable to the property contributed above (related to interest and depreciation), the only other expenses incurred were for additional salaries of $40,000; additional property taxes of $7,000; supplies of $8,000; and utilities of $5,000. In year 2 of its operations, January 1, 2020 through December 21, 2020. Brushy Mountain Inc had taxable income after ALL expenses, was $1,200,000. Included in Brushy Mountain expenses was non- deductible meal expenses of $10,000 (Gross).

Included in its expenses were nondeductible meal expenses of $35,000 (Gross) and it received tax exempt interest income of $30,000. Interest to the bank was paid. No other distributions were made during 2021. In 2022, the great pine tree blight wiped out all Brushy Mountain inc's planted pine trees, however the prior year harvest of trees was safe in the warehouse contributed by Rachilla. As a result, the price of Pine trees skyrocketed, and Brushy Mountain had a banner year in profits. It had taxable income of $3,000,000 after considering ALL Expenses (except as noted below). Of course, Brushy Mountain had to celebrate, and it had a lavish party for its shareholders and employees. The cost of the party was $200,000 but this was not included in the taxable income above. Tax exempt Income was $100,000 for tax year 2022. On December 14 2022, Brushy Mountain paid all dividends in arrears on the preferred stock. In addition, it paid a cash dividend to all common shareholders in the amount of $15 per share. Since it no longer needed the warehouse, the great pine tree blight left them with no inventory, they decided to distribute the warehouse equally to all common shareholders. At the time of the distribution, the warehouse had an adjusted basis of $75,000 and a fair market value of $50,000. The Chainsaws were also distributed to the common shareholders and had an adjusted basis of $0 and a fair market value of $25,000 at the time of the distribution.
