7-2D-8. Additional definition; successful business.
For the purposes of the Venture Capital Investment Act, "successful business" means a corporation that, at the end of the taxpayer's holding period, has experienced a net increase in valuation of at least fifteen million dollars ($15,000,000); provided:
A. the increase in valuation shall be calculated by subtracting the valuation of the corporation at the time it was determined to be a qualified diversifying business from the current valuation of the corporation at the time of the transfer giving rise to the qualified diversifying business net capital gain;
B. the current valuation of the corporation at the time of the transfer giving rise to the qualified diversifying business net capital gain equals the per-share value of the money and property received by the taxpayer on the transfer multiplied by the outstanding shares of the corporation, as calculated using the number of shares that would be outstanding if all outstanding convertible securities were fully converted and all outstanding options and warrants were fully exercised; and
C. in the case of any stock issued in a calendar year after 1994, the net increase in valuation required shall be an amount equal to fifteen million dollars ($15,000,000) multiplied by the cost-of-living adjustment determined under Section 1(f)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code for that calendar year by substituting "1992" for "1987" in Subparagraph (B) of that section.
