While I do not remember the acceptable accounting practices, your logic is exactly right ...
Many years ago I dissolved my reptile business as a legal corporation. At that time I had completely depreciated my breeder inventory ... and guess what? Not only did I have to buy my animals back from my own corporation at fair market value, but it was shown as income on the books. I cannot recall if it was booked as a capital gain, but nonetheless, somewhere in the mix is was reflected as income.
You might say "they get you coming and going".
