Financial Implications Peter Gallanagh Campbell Dallas Chartered Accountants and Business advisors
Financial Implications • Investor • EIS Relief • Corporate Venturing • Operational Pharmacist • Initial Investment/ ‘Hurt Money’ • EMI Scheme • Access to Optional shares if excercises right to buy all • Good leaver/Bad leaver provisions
Financial Implications • Management/Control • Monthly monitoring information • Benchmark information • Year end audit • Win/Win Situation • Investor – decent return and protection • Operational pharmacist – Business otherwise couldn’t afford.
Financial Implication • Acquire a pharmacy: • Turnover £1million, EBITDA £200,000 • £1.2 million cost. • Finance : • Bank Funding £840,000, • Operational Pharmacist £72,000, • Investors £288,000 • Assume inflationary growth in turnover and EBITDA each year for 5 years.
Financial Implications • Operational Pharmacist achieves targets of inflationary growth and EBITDA each year and hence has option to acquire further 30% at day 1 price. • Can only do so if exercise right to Acquire all shares.
Financial Implications • Returns for the investor: • Dividend each year assume to be at 4% of investment value. • Refund of tax equivalent to 20% of initial investment. • Capital gain – Tax Free. • Based on these numbers over the 5 year period and assuming no change in goodwill multiple return is approximately £270,000. - Equivalent to an IRR of 27%
Financial Implications • Operational Pharmacist • Pays an initial consideration for shares – “hurt money” • If achieves the targets then has the right to acquire additional shares at initial consideration price IF excercises right to buy all shares • Acquires remaining shares at market value at date of exercise. • Overall pays slightly more for the pharmacy than would have at the outset but gets a business that he otherwise would not have been able to afford.
Financial Implications • This is a very good scheme for all. • It will not suit all circumstances. • Diligence exercise required – both financial and operation to ensure satisfactory. • Need to set realistic and achieveable targets. • Need to have an element of growth to ensure there is a satisfactory return for the investors. • Need to ensure the business is cash positive to pay off loan and be able to gear back up to pay out investors. • Investment appraisal critical and no one- fit all solution. • Not Investment advice – speak to an FSA registered individual.
