• "Lester Fulmer sold H2O Lifts and Ramps, LLC (H2O), to Hurt-Hoover Investments, LLC (HHI). HHI agreed to pay $550,000 of the price by a note in thirty-six installments. From the installments, HHI deducted offsets, including charges for expenses incurred before the sale. Meanwhile, HHI incurred annual losses. Its owners, William Hurt and Michael Hoover, contributed funds to keep the firm in business. They followed the statutory business formalities.
