AICPA Case Development Program Case No. 97-01: Should the Scuba Business Dive Into the Expansion ? 1 SHOULD THE SCUBA BUSINESS DIVE INTO THE EXPANSION? Michael H. Moms, Professor of Accountancy University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, Indiana Andrew M. Crowe, Controller Don Foster’s Dive Cayman, Ltd., Cayman Islands As controller and general manager of Don Foster’s Dive Cayman, Ltd., Andy Crowe knew that something had to be done to improve the profit performance of the company. Although profits increased for several years after incorporating in July of 1991, sales revenue declined during the last two years, with the company reporting a loss for fiscal 1996. Andy knew that the current fleet of dive boats were being underutilized, so the timing was right to examine ways to expand sales revenue. ENVIRONMENT Don Foster’s Dive is located in the Cayman Islands, a self-governing British crown colony, situated 480 miles south of Miami. To vacationers, the Cayman Islands mean calm clear waters and a carefree world of outdoor pleasures. To scuba divers and snorkelers, the Caymans are synonymous with the world’s best diving. Not only are the quality and variety of the dive sites spectacular, but the Cayman Islands also possess a unique dive site called Stingray City. At this location, divers and snorkelers swim with 30 to 40 wild stingrays that feed from human hands. To investors, the Cayman Islands are a reliable tax haven. There are no corporate, capital gains, payroll, property or withholding taxes on the islands. The absence of taxes on income together with political and racial stability, has attracted the attention of investors seeking a tax free base for their operations. Currently there are approximately 32,000 companies, 550 banks, 900 mutual funds and 400 insurance companies of various categories registered or licensed in the Cayman Islands. Those companies operate from an environment in which there are no excessive restrictions on their freedom to trade or their ability…
