The business was shaped as a limited partnership by two brothers, John Henry (SSN 555-55-5555) and James Henry (SSN 666-66-6666), who work full-time in business, and their father Tom Henry (SSN 888-88-8888), the limited partner. The brothers each have a 25 percent interest in the income, loss, and capital of the business while their father owns a 50 percent interest in income, loss, and capital, but takes no active interest in the business other than as that of an investor.

At end of 2009, its operations showed cash gross receipts of $1,240,000 and the subsequent cash expenditure items:
