In May of 2019, Hayley and Ferdinand Chouinard decided to open a restaurant and wine bar in

McCall, Idaho, a resort town about 90 miles north of Boise. The Chouinards had been following

the growth in McCall for several years and considered it to be an area with great potential for

their business. They were especially encouraged by French developer Jean-Pierre Boe's plans to

build Tamarack Resort, which will be located approximately 15 miles from McCall.

Construction on the $1.5 billion destination ski and golf resort had begun in early 2019.

Tamarack plans to target wealthy national and international vacationers, similar to resorts in

Whistler, British Columbia and Vail, Colorado.

In addition to a full service restaurant and bar, Hayley and Ferdinand plan to have a small retail

area to sell a unique selection of wines, cheeses and other related items. They began their search

for a location in March and found what they considered to be an ideal space near the recently

renovated Hotel McCall and walking distance to Payette Lake.

Pre-Opening Period

Hayley and Ferdinand invested $1,200,000 of personal funds and decided to call their new

business "Lake Street Wine and Dine" (hereafter LSWD). On May 15, 2019 they signed a

renewable 12-month lease for the location they desired. (This is considered a short-term

operating lease.) The lease required an up front payment for the first six months (covering July

through December 2019) at the rate of $10,000 per month, plus an additional $25,000 damage

deposit that was non-refundable if the lease was cancelled. While they were allowed to move in

on June 1, consider the rental payment to cover the lease period from July 1 to December 31.

The grand opening was scheduled for July 1 st and the month of June was used to prepare the

facility and purchase retail merchandise and restaurant supplies. The prior tenant had been a

buffet restaurant, so extensive paint and remodeling was necessary in order to create the

atmosphere they desired. The cost (all paid in cash) of remodeling the interior space totaled

$600,000 and the cost of furnishings was an additional $250,000, including furnishings for the

kitchen, bar, and a point of sale computer system. They expected the useful life of the leasehold

improvements, furnishings and equipment to be 10 years.

In an effort to attract the Tamarack clientele, Hayley and Ferdinand decided to carry a high-end

wine selection along with some northwest favorites, which would differ from those offered in the

restaurant. They placed their initial retail wine order with a distributor in early June and their

first merchandise arrived June 20 th with an invoice for $102,000 payable to the distributor. They

also ordered wine that would be served in the restaurant from the same distributor. These

shipments of consumable items arrived on the same day with an invoice for $8,000 payable to

the distributor. Lastly, they acquired food and supplies for the kitchen from local food

distributors for cash payments totaling $6,400.

On June 25 th Hayley and Ferdinand reviewed the last minute preparations for opening day as well

as where their bank account stood. Hayley was concerned they had two outstanding invoices to

suppliers totaling $110,000 and that their cash balance had dwindled down to $258,600.

Ferdinand summarized his concerns. "In one month, we have gone through $941,400 and that

doesn't count the outstanding invoices we still owe. We won't be in business very long at this

rate."

On June 30 th , Hayley and Ferdinand consulted with Ann Stamey, a local certified public

accountant, on setting up accounting records for LSWD and advice about obtaining additional

funding. For example, should they seek other investors or should they try to get a loan? Ann

explained that, while their bank balance was declining, they were not losing money; rather they

were investing in assets. Even so, they were right to be concerned with the amount of cash

remaining. After Ann explained the options of seeking equity versus debt financing, Hayley and

Ferdinand decided to seek a loan as protection against cash shortages.

The First Six Months of Operations

On July 1 st , they obtained a loan for $500,000 from a local bank, payable at the end of two years

with semi-annual interest payments at an annual rate of 10%. Feeling more comfortable about

the company's cash position, Hayley and Ferdinand proceeded with their plans for the grand

opening of LSWD.

The Grand Opening event was advertised in the local newspaper and via flyers posted at the

other area merchants. The total cost of the advertising for the grand opening was $2,100, which

was paid in cash. As planned, on July 1 st the doors opened to the public and, as an opening

promotion, they had free wine tasting and live music. They estimated the cost of wine for the

free tasting to be $4,800. Note that they used wine from the food/wine inventory for the tasting.

Friends in a band volunteered to play at the event so no fee was paid for the live music. Given

the amount of foot traffic they had received during the day, the opening day seemed like a

success. A summary of other events for the first six months of operations follows:

Retail sales for the first six-month period ending December 31, 2019 totaled $715,000. All

sales were for cash.

Restaurant sales (including food and wine) totaled $144,000 for the first six-month period

ending December 31, 2019. All sales were cash sales.

Between July 1, 2019 and December 31, 2019, LSWD took delivery of retail inventories (i.e.,

inventories other than food and wine to be served in the restaurant) valued at $388,000. All

merchandise was purchased on account. During the six months, LSWD made payments to

suppliers in the amount of $350,000.

Between July 1, 2019 and December 31, 2019, LSWD took delivery of restaurant food and

wine inventory valued at $129,000. All were paid in cash.

1, 2019 for $18,000.

The company purchased Investments in debt securities classified as "available-for-sale" on

September 30, 2019 for $20,000.

Payment of $10,000 was made on December 20, 2019 to cover January's rent.

Wages for part-time employees during the six-month period ended December 31, 2019

totaled $63,000. Of that amount, $7,000 was unpaid at December 31, 2019.

in cash.
