MONITOR’S REPORT Case Number 2:19-cv-00713

Case 2:19-cv-00713-DAK-EJF Document 71 Filed 12/13/19 Page 1 of 21

On October 1, 2019, the Court entered its Ex Parte Temporary Restraining Order with

Asset Preservation, Appointment of a Temporary Monitor over Corporate Defendants, and Other

Equitable Relief, and Order to Show Cause Why a Preliminary Injunction Should Not Issue (Dkt.

No. 24) (the “Order”). The Order appointed David K. Broadbent as the “temporary monitor for

the Monitored Entities and any of their affiliates, subsidiaries, successors, and assigns, wherever

located,”1 (Order § X), and directed him to submit this Report “prior to the preliminary

injunction show cause hearing set by Section XXII of this Order” with “the Monitor’s findings,

including” the following:

A. The Monitored Entities’ compliance with this Order;

B. An accounting of the Monitored Entities’ financial transactions as they relate to the practices charged in the Complaint or Defendants’ Products;

C. A description of the Monitored Entities’ corporate structures including all parents, subsidiaries (whether wholly or partially owned), divisions (whether incorporated or not), affiliates, branches, charters, joint ventures, partnerships, franchises, operations under assumed names, and all ownership interests of the Monitored Entities.

(Order § XII at 20.)

However, before the Report was submitted, the parties agreed to a Stipulated Preliminary

Injunction (Dkt. No. 54) (the “Injunction”). In light of that stipulation, the Court vacated the

preliminary injunction show cause hearing, (see Dkt. No. 53), thereby eliminating the

1 The Order defined the “Monitored Entities” as the “Corporate Defendants and any other entity that has conducted any business related to the marketing or sale of Defendants’ Products, including receipt of Assets derived from any activity that is subject of the Complaint in this matter, and that the Monitor determines is controlled or owned by any Defendant.” (Order at 7.) The “Corporate Defendants,” in turn, were defined as “Zurixx, LLC, Carlson Development Group, LLC, CJ Seminar Holdings, LLC, and Zurixx Financial, LLC, and each of their subsidiaries, affiliates, successors, and assigns.” (Id. at 6.)

requirement to file the report discussed above. The Injunction also did away with the role of

temporary monitor and, instead, appointed “David K. Broadbent . . . as receiver over the

Receivership Entities with full powers of an equity receiver.” (Injunction at 17 § XIV.)

Following that appointment, the Court requested that Mr. Broadbent (the “Monitor” or the

“Receiver”)2 submit this Report.

REPORT

I. Summary of the Monitor’s work

The Court entered its Order appointing the Monitor on October 1, 2019. That same day,

the Monitor met with personnel from the FTC and Division to discuss gathering information and

documents from Defendants consistent with the terms of the Order. The next day, the Monitor

and his team went to the headquarters of Zurixx, LLC in Cottonwood Heights, Utah, with law

enforcement and personnel from the FTC and Division. Investigators from the FTC obtained

documents, including electronic documents, and the Monitor and his team obtained documents

and began interviews with personnel from the Monitored Entities.

The Monitor’s team interviewed each of the Individual Defendants, as well as the heads

of Zurixx’s departments and various members of those departments. The Monitor’s team

requested and reviewed a significant number of documents, although many document requests

were unfulfilled at the time the Court appointed Mr. Broadbent as the Receiver. The Monitor’s

team also listened to many recorded sales events put on by the Monitored Entities and to many

recorded sales calls put on by the Monitored Entities from both before and during the time of the

Monitor’s appointment.

II. The Monitor’s findings

A. Description of the Monitored Entities’ corporate structures

The Court ordered the Monitor to provide “[a] description of the Monitored Entities’

corporate structures including all parents, subsidiaries (whether wholly or partially owned),

divisions (whether incorporated or not), affiliates, branches, charters, joint ventures, partnerships,

franchises, operations under assumed names, and all ownership interests of the Monitored

Entities.” (Order § XII(C) at 20.)

Defendants develop, market, sell, and fulfill “financial education programs” throughout

the United States and Canada. (Zurixx, LLC. United States Transfer Pricing Documentation for

the 2017 Tax Year, attached as Ex. 1, at 8.) These programs start with free two-to-three hour

preview meetings, characterized by the Monitored Entities as “comprehensive educational

seminars,” which are, in fact, events designed to sell consumers, or “students,” access to paid

three-day workshops. Following the workshops, Defendants sell students additional services:

advanced training camps, coaching services, mentoring services, and summits. Defendant Jim

Carlson confirmed that the following generally represents Defendants’ product funnel:

Case 2:19-cv-00713-DAK-EJF Document 71 Filed 12/13/19 Page 4 of 21

5

(Ex. 1 at 13.) Defendants’ programs are tied to, and promoted by, various “celebrities” to provide

real estate, business strategy, entrepreneurship, and coaching and mentoring programs.

The Monitored Entities are comprised of four groups of entities: (1) Zurixx, LLC; (2)

Dorado Marketing & Management, LLC; (3) Brand Management Holdings, LLC and

subsidiaries; and (4) Global Learning Alliance, LLC. As of October 2, 2019, there were

approximately 100 employees of Zurixx, LLC and 20 employees of Dorado Marketing &

Management, LLC. Beyond that, Zurixx, LLC paid several hundred “independent contractors”

over the course of a normal calendar year, which made up about 80% of the Monitored Entities’

payroll.

Turning to the organizational structure, the available ownership information for these

entities was incomplete and, in some instances, inconsistent. That said, the Monitor believes that

these entities are structured as follows:

Zurixx, LLC3

Zurixx, LLC operates events – preview seminars, workshops, summits, etc. – and

fulfillment in the United States and Canada. It does business under multiple names, including

Flipping Formula Education, Success Path Education, Advanced Real Estate Education, Shark

Academy, Advanced Financial Training, Daymond John Success Formula, Financial Education,

In-Source Connection LLC, Premium Corporate Services, Rules of Renovation, USA Loan

Processing, Premium Financial Training, and Launch Academy.

Zurixx, LLC offered a number of educational programs, which it described as follows:

3 The Receiver is not confident that this chart accurately reflects the corporate structure. The articles of organization for Zurixx Financial, LLC say that Carlson and Carlson Development Group, LLC are the members. Also, there are many missing organizational documents. For instance, the Receiver has no corporate documents for CJ Seminar Holdings, LLC, CAC Investment Holdings, LLC, JSS Investment Holdings, or Carlson Development Group, LLC. Also, according to Carlson, the Sofia Reyes Descendants Trust provided an initial cash investment in the business and is now only a “silent partner.” The Receiver continues to investigate this.

Success Path Education: This real estate training “workshop teaches participants how to

successfully renovate and ‘flip’ houses by focusing on topics like business planning and goal

setting, asset protection, acquisition funding, and legal entity formation.” (Ex. 1 at 11.) The

program is built around celebrities Tarek El Mousa and Christina Anstead from HGTV’s “Flip or

Flop.”

Daymond John’s Launch Academy: This entrepreneurial workshop is designed to “help[]

prospective entrepreneurs make the transition from an idea to the actual launch of a business,”

and to “teach participants strategies to manage money, position the business, and creat[e] a

legacy.” (Id. at 12.) Daymond John appears as an investor on the ABC reality television show

“Shark Tank.”

The Flipping Formula: This program is similar to Success Path Education in that

“participants learn how to find unlisted properties, which are below market value, obtain

financing, create cash flow, and complete a wholesale real estate transaction in 60 to 90-days.”

The program is a “partnership” with Pete Souhleris and Dave Seymour of the A&E reality TV

show “Flipping Boston.”

Winning the Property War: This educational program provides “flipping and wholesaling

strategies” from Doug Hopkins (of the Discovery Channel series “Property Wars”) and Damon

Line.

Property Bank: Another real estate educational program, Property Bank “teaches

participants how to find growth and wealth opportunities.” The program was created by Mike

Baird (Spike TV’s “Flip Men”) and Greg Herlean (author of “Bank on This”).

Case 2:19-cv-00713-DAK-EJF Document 71 Filed 12/13/19 Page 7 of 21

Additional educational programs are associated with other celebrities, such as author and

sales trainer Grant Cardone (10X), Robert Herjabec (“Shark Tank”), and Hillary Farr (HGTV’s

“Love It or List It”).

Dorado Group

By agreement, Dorado Marketing & Management, LLC (“Dorado”) provides services to

Zurixx, LLC, primarily marketing, event management, and celebrity contract management.

Dorado also provides administrative executive support for marketing and events.4

4 Dorado is based in Dorado, Puerto Rico. It appears that the tie to Puerto Rico is based on tax incentives related to Puerto Rico’s Act No. 20 of 2012, as amended, known as the “Export Services Act,” “the Act,” or “Act 20,” which established incentives designed to stimulate the development of a wide variety of ventures in Puerto Rico, including the export of services.

Brand Management Group

Via its network of wholly-owned limited liability companies, Brand Management

Holdings, LLC (“Brand Management”) contracts with the various celebrities who partner with

Zurixx to put on financial education programs. Brand Management’s network is structured such

that the bottom-level company contracts with celebrities and customers. Because the chart is

Defendants’ documents reflect that the following Monitored Entities are “inactive or not

needed”:

• Breakthrough Events Mgmt LLC (DE)

• Breakthrough Events LLC (TX)

• Education Annex MGMT LLC (DE)9

• Education Annex LLC (NV)10

• Misc Real Estate MGMT LLC (DE)

• Zurixx Marketing, LLC (WY)

• Continuing Real Estate Education (WY)11

o According to Carlson, this entity was initially created for contracting with

celebrities Tarek and Christina El Mousa, but is dormant and was never used.

Finally, RE Cash Source is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Zurixx Financial, LLC. It was

created to provide bridge loans for students to purchase rental properties from vendors associated

with Zurixx, LLC’s Las Vegas Summit event. According to Carlson, RE Cash Source generated

significant losses and ceased lending in or about 2014. RE Cash Source does still have some

outstanding loans, but does not function otherwise.

9 This entity appears to have been dissolved as of February 12, 2019. 10 This entity appears to have been dissolved as of February 12, 2019. 11 Continuing Real Estate Education was formerly known as Success Path Education.

Global Learning Alliance Group

Global Learning Alliance, LLC was purchased to put on large-scale events attended by

celebrities and customers. Citing lack of profitability, Carlson stated that this business was being

shut down at the time of the Monitor’s appointment.

B. Accounting of the Monitored Entities’ financial transactions as they relate to the practices charged in the Complaint or Defendants’ Products

The Receiver retained Rocky Mountain Advisory (“RMA”) as accounting professionals.

RMA prepared an Accounting Status Report as of October 31, 2019. The Accounting Status

Report is submitted with this Report at Exhibit 2.12

C. The Monitored Entities’ compliance with the Order

The Order imposed a variety of restrictions on the Monitored Entities.

1. Compliance with Section I of the Order

The Court enjoined the Monitored Entities and others from engaging in a variety of

business activities in Section One of the Order:

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Defendants, Defendants’ officers, agents, employees, and attorneys, and all other Persons in active concert or participation

12 Several exhibits to the Accounting Status Report contain confidential information, which is redacted for purposes of this filing. However, the Receiver will provide unredacted copies of the Accounting Status Report to the Court and parties.

with them, who receive actual notice of this Order by personal service or otherwise, whether acting directly or indirectly, in connection with the advertising, marketing, promoting, or offering for sale of any goods or services, are temporarily restrained and enjoined from:

A. Making any Earnings Claim, unless the Earnings Claim is truthful and not misleading, and, at the time such claim is made, Defendants: (1) have a reasonable basis for the claim; (2) have in their possession written materials that substantiate the claim; and (3) make the written substantiation available upon request to the consumer, potential purchaser or investor, the Monitor, and Plaintiffs;

B. Misrepresenting or assisting others in misrepresenting, expressly or by implication, that:

1. Consumers who purchase any of Defendants’ Products will receive 100% funding to do real estate deals regardless of their credit;

2. Defendants’ Products allow consumers to make thousands of dollars in profit through real estate investing with little time and effort;

3. Consumers will learn everything they need to know at Defendants’ 3-day workshops to make thousands of dollars in profit through real estate investing;

C. Misrepresenting or assisting others in misrepresenting, expressly or by implication, any other fact material to consumers concerning any good or service, such as: the total costs; any material restrictions, limitations, or conditions; or any material aspect of its performance, efficacy, nature, or central characteristics;

D. Failing to disclose, or disclose adequately, to consumers material aspects of Defendants’ refund policy; and

E. Offering Defendants’ Products for sale without complying with BODA, including filing required information annually with the Division, providing a disclosure statement or prospectus to any prospective purchaser at least 10 business days prior to a purchase, and providing the required warning to purchasers following an earnings representation that: Defendants cannot guarantee earnings or ranges of earning; identifying the number of purchasers who had earned an amount in excess of the amount of their payment; and clarifying what percentage of total purchasers had earned an amount in excess of the amount of their payment.

Case 2:19-cv-00713-DAK-EJF Document 71 Filed 12/13/19 Page 13 of 21

14

(Order § 1 at 8-9.)

The Individual Defendants and employees cooperated with the Monitor in interviews.

Responses to requests for documents, computers, and other materials were frequently delayed,

and numerous requests from the Monitor were outstanding upon appointment of the Receiver.

The Monitor had significant concerns regarding the Monitored Entities’ consumer

protection compliance program. Based on interviews with the Monitored Entities’ personnel, the

Monitor understands that the program uncovered violations of consumer protection laws on a

weekly basis from preview events, workshops, and other consumer presentations. While the

Monitored Entities’ personnel indicated that violators were subject to discipline up to

termination, no information was provided to substantiate the use of the disciplinary system.

Moreover, the compliance program did not, apparently, cover tele-sales, a significant source of

business for the Monitored Entities. The Monitor was not able to ascertain further details

regarding the compliance program because Defendants took the position that the content was

protected by the attorney-client privilege.

The Monitor’s team listened to many recorded preview events, workshops, and telephone

conversations that pre-dated and post-dated the Monitor’s appointment. In multiple recordings,

Defendants’ personnel touted their programs as leading to “tons of profits, “excellent profits,”

and similar success. Many customer reviews complained that they were not sold the information

promised, but rather sold other products offered by defendants. For instance, one customer

complained that he paid $2,000 to attend a workshop just to be sold another $20,000 product.

Based on the Monitor’s review, it appears that these types of representations were widespread

and consistent.

Case 2:19-cv-00713-DAK-EJF Document 71 Filed 12/13/19 Page 14 of 21

15

2. Compliance with Section II of the Order

The Court enjoined the Monitored Entities and others “from offering, attempting to

enforce, or asserting the validity of, any Review-Limiting Contract Term.” (Order § 2 at 9-10.)

The Monitor is not aware that any of the Monitored Entities have “offer[ed], attempt[ed] to

enforce, or assert[ed] the validity of, any Review-Limiting Contract Term” in violation of the

Order. (Id.) Ongoing litigation regarding Review-Limiting Contract Terms has been stayed as a

result of the Receiver’s appointment.

3. Compliance with Section III of the Order

The Court enjoined the Monitored Entities and others from releasing or benefitting from

certain customer information. (Order § III at 10.) The Monitor is not aware that the Monitored

Entities have released customer information in violation of this Section of the Order. However,

several coaches have reached out to customers for ongoing training, and the Receiver has issued

cease-and-desist letters in response.

4. Compliance with Section IV of the Order

The Court ordered the Monitored Entities and others to preserve records and assets.

(Order § IV at 11-12.) The Monitor is not aware that the Monitored Entities have violated this

Section of the Order.

5. Compliance with Section VI of the Order

The Court ordered Defendants to “prepare and deliver to Plaintiffs’ counsel and the

Monitor” the following financial information “within three (3) business days of service of this

Order upon them”:

A. Completed financial statements on the forms attached to this Order as Attachment A (Financial Statement of Individual Defendant) for each

Case 2:19-cv-00713-DAK-EJF Document 71 Filed 12/13/19 Page 15 of 21

16

Individual Defendant, and Attachment B (Financial Statement of Corporate Defendant) for each Corporate Defendant; and

B. Completed Attachment C (IRS Form 4506, Request for Copy of a Tax Return) for each Corporate Defendant.

(Order § VI at 14.)

The Individual Defendants provided the Monitor with financial statements in the form of

Attachment A to the Order. Defendant Zurixx, LLC provided the Monitor with a financial

statement in the form of Attachment B to the Order. The remaining Corporate Defendants did not

provide this information to the Monitor. Defendants also provided several years of tax returns,

although the Monitor was not provided with 2018 returns for defendants Carlson Development

Group, LLC or CJ Seminar Holdings, LLC.

6. Compliance with Section VII of the Order

The Court ordered Defendants to do the following “within three (3) business days of

service of this Order”:

A. Provide Plaintiffs’ counsel and the Monitor with a full accounting, verified under oath and accurate as of the date of this Order, of all Assets, Documents, and accounts outside of the United States which are: (1) titled in the name, individually or jointly, of any Defendant; (2) held by any Person for the benefit of any Defendant or for the benefit of any corporation, partnership, asset protection trust, or other entity that is directly or indirectly owned, managed, or controlled by any Defendant; or (3) under the direct or indirect control, whether jointly or singly, of any Defendant; [and]

B. Take all steps necessary to provide Plaintiffs’ counsel and the Monitor with access to all Documents and records relating to the Corporate Defendants that may be held by third parties located outside of the territorial United States of America, including signing the Consent to Release of Financial Records appended to this Order as Attachment D[.]

(Order § VII at 14-15.)

Case 2:19-cv-00713-DAK-EJF Document 71 Filed 12/13/19 Page 16 of 21

17

Defendants have not complied with Section VII.A. As to Section VII.B, Carlson executed

a Consent to Release Financial Records form, as well as bank statements from a bank in Puerto

Rico. Other than the asset lists and attachments with the other disclosures, no documentation of

assets, documents, and accounts outside of the United States are verified under oath or appear to

be included in the productions that the Receiver has received.

7. Compliance with Section IX of the Order

The Court enjoined the Monitored Entities and others “from creating, operating, or

exercising any control over any business entity, whether newly formed or previously inactive,

including any partnership, limited partnership, joint venture, sole proprietorship, or corporation”

unless the Monitored Entities or others subject to the injunction “first provid[e] Plaintiffs’

counsel and the Monitor with a written statement disclosing: (1) the name of the business entity;

(2) the address and telephone number of the business entity; (3) the names of the business

entity’s officers, directors, principals, managers, and employees; and (4) a detailed description of

the business entity’s intended activities.” (Order § IX at 15.) The Monitor is not aware that the

Monitored Entities have engaged in any activities that would fall within the scope of this Section

of the Order.

8. Compliance with Section XIII of the Order

The Court ordered the Monitored Entities and others to “provide to the Monitor,

immediately upon request, without need of a subpoena or further order, the following” materials:

A. A list of all Assets and accounts of the Monitored Entities, including Assets of the Monitored Entities that are held in any name other than the name of a Monitored Entity, or by any Person other than a Monitored Entity;

Case 2:19-cv-00713-DAK-EJF Document 71 Filed 12/13/19 Page 17 of 21

18

B. A list of all Assets and Documents belonging to other Persons whose interests are under the direction, custody, or control, or in the possession, of the Monitored Entities;

C. A list of all locations where Documents of the Monitored Entities are located, and the means to access such Documents within five (5) hours of the Monitor’s request;

D. Access to all Documents of the Monitored Entities including, but not limited to, books and records of accounts, all financial and accounting records, balance sheets, income statements, bank records (including monthly statements, canceled checks, records of wire transfers, and check registers), client lists, title Documents and other papers that relate to the practices charged in the Complaint or Defendants’ Products;

E. Access to all computers, electronic devices, mobile devices, and machines (onsite or remotely) and any cloud account (including specific method to access account), electronic file in any medium, or other data in whatever form used to conduct the business of the Monitored Entities;

F. Copies of all keys, codes, user names and passwords necessary to gain or to secure access to any Assets or Documents of the Monitored Entities including, but not limited to, access to their business premises, means of communication, accounts, computer systems, or other property; and

G. A list of all agents, employees, independent contractors, officers, attorneys, servants, and those Persons in active concert and participation with the Monitored Entities, or who have been associated or done business with the Monitored Entities since January 1, 2013.

(Order § XIII at 20-21.) The Receiver is not aware that Defendants violated this Section of the

Order.

9. Compliance with Section XIV of the Order

The Court ordered the Monitored Entities and others to cooperate with the Monitor.

(Order § XIV at 21-22.) As stated above, the Individual Defendants and employees cooperated

freely with the Monitor in interviews. Responses to requests for documents, computers, and other

materials were frequently delayed, and numerous requests from the Monitor were outstanding

upon appointment of the Receiver.

Case 2:19-cv-00713-DAK-EJF Document 71 Filed 12/13/19 Page 18 of 21

19

10. Compliance with Section XV of the Order

The Court enjoined the Monitored Entities and others from interfering with the Monitor.

(Order § XV at 22-23.) The Receiver is not aware that Defendants violated this Section of the

Order.

11. Compliance with Section XIV of the Order

The Court ordered the Monitored Entities and others to provide the Monitor with access

to the business premises and records. (Order § XVII at 23-25.) The Receiver is not aware that

Defendants violated this Section of the Order. As stated above, the Individual Defendants and

employees cooperated with the Monitor in interviews. Responses to requests for documents,

computers, and other materials were frequently delayed, and numerous requests from the

Monitor were outstanding upon appointment of the Receiver.

12. Compliance with Section XVIII of the Order

The Court ordered the Monitored Entities and others to distribute copies of the Order as

follows:

Defendants shall immediately provide a copy of this Order to each affiliate, telemarketer, marketer, sales entity, successor, assign, member, officer, director, employee, agent, independent contractor, client, attorney, spouse, subsidiary, division, and representative of any Defendant, and shall, within ten (10) days from the date of entry of this Order, provide Plaintiffs and the Monitor with a sworn statement that this provision of the Order has been satisfied, which statement shall include the names, physical addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses of each such Person who received a copy of the Order.

(Order § XVIII at 25.) On October 11, 2019, counsel for Defendants provided the Monitor with

the Declaration of James M. Carlson, which, in part, provided, “Section XVIII of the [Order] has

been satisfied. A list of the names, physical addresses, phone numbers, and e-mail addresses of

each person or entity to whom the [Order], to the extent reasonably ascertainable, is attached

Case 2:19-cv-00713-DAK-EJF Document 71 Filed 12/13/19 Page 19 of 21

20

hereto as Exhibit A.” (Ex. 3 at 2.) 13 The Monitor does not dispute the assertions in the

Declaration.

Section XVIII of the Order further provides, “Defendants shall not take any action that

would encourage officers, agents, members, directors, employees, salespersons, independent

contractors, attorneys, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors, assigns, or other Persons or entities in

active concert or participation with them to disregard this Order or believe that they are not

bound by its provisions.” (Order § XVIII at 25.) The Monitor is not aware that Defendants have

taken any action in violation of this portion of Section XVIII.

I. Introduction

A. Scope

Zurixx, LLC (“Zurixx” or “Company”) engaged Economics Partners, LLC (“Economics

Partners” or “EP”) to analyze certain intercompany transactions and prepare a US transfer

pricing planning study for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017.

Zurixx develops, promotes, sells, and fulfills financial education programs throughout the

United States and Canada by partnering with well-known financial celebrities to provide real

estate, business, entrepreneurship, and coaching and mentoring programs to consumers.

The analyses described in this report have been conducted in accordance with Section 482 of the

U.S. Internal Revenue Code1 and the Regulations2 thereunder (“Section 482” or the “US

Regulations”). The underlying principle of the Regulations is the arm’s length standard. In

general, a controlled transaction meets the arm’s length standard if the results of the transaction

are consistent with the results that would have been realized had uncontrolled taxpayers

engaged in a comparable transaction under comparable, but uncontrolled, circumstances.

B. Summary of Analysis and Conclusions

1. Overview of Transaction

The intercompany transaction at issue in this report is the provision of certain sales and

executive management services from Dorado Marketing & Management, LLC (“Dorado”) to

Zurixx, LLC (“Zurixx US”). As described in the Functional Analysis section, Dorado provides

sales and executive management services for Zurixx US. During FY 2017, Dorado charged sales

and executive management services fees of $21.14 million to Zurixx US in consideration of these

services.

2. Summary of Findings

a) Selected Method

The Unspecified Method, as described in the US Transfer Pricing Regulations, was applied to

the tested transaction. From the standpoint of Section 482, a method that is unspecified in that it

is not the CUP method, the cost-plus method, the resale price method, the CPM method, or the

1 References in this report to the “Code,” or to particular provisions of the “Code,” refer to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (26 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.), as amended, as in effect for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. 2 References in this report to the “Regulations,” or to particular provisions of the “Regulations,” refer to the Treasury Regulations (Title 26, Code of Federal Regulations), as amended, as in effect for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.

profit split method and can be applied if it provides the most reliable measure of an arm’s

length result under the principles of the best method rule. Unspecified methods take into

account the general principle that “information be provided on the prices or profits that the

controlled taxpayer could have realized by choosing a realistic alternative to the controlled

transaction.”3

b) Application of the Unspecified Method

Using an unspecified method, EP benchmarked the covered transaction against a combination

of similar internal comparable transactions and comparable external uncontrolled prices and

transactions. These comparable prices and transactions were used to derive a benchmark of fees

representative of arm’s length compensation.

c) Unspecified Method Result

• Using the unspecified method described above, EP calculated Dorado’s median

estimated service fees to total approximately $46.32 million in FY 2017.

d) Intercompany Results

• In FY 2017, Dorado charged approximately $21.14 million in sales and executive

management fees. This result falls outside the benchmarked fee calculation because of a

stressed celebrity brand, specifically Tarek and Christina El Moussa. During FY 2017,

Tarek and Christina announced plans to divorce which negatively impacted their public

image and brand. Zurixx’s Success Path Education seminar is aggressively promoted by

Tarek and Christina and suffered substantial losses as a result. Due to these unforeseen

economic hardships, Zurixx US was only charged $21.14 million. The fee charged is

below the estimated median fee of $46.32 million and is considered arm’s-length.

C. Report Structure

The remainder of this report proceeds as follows.

Section II provides a high-level overview of Zurixx International LLC.

Section III provides an overview of the industry in which Zurixx operates.

Section IV provides a functional analysis of the intercompany transaction.

Section V provides an overview of the relevant transfer pricing regulations applicable to the

intercompany transaction under review.

Section VI describes the transaction and puts forth our analysis.

II. Company Overview4

Zurixx develops, promotes, sells, and fulfills financial education programs throughout the

United States and Canada by partnering with well-known financial celebrities to provide real

estate, business strategy, entrepreneurship, and coaching and mentoring programs to

consumers. The Company utilizes a multi-phase educational process to equip students with

tools, knowledge and resources that help them be financially successful.

A. Zurixx History

In 2012 Jeff Spangler (President, U.S.) and Chris Cannon (President, P.R.) formed Zurixx with

Jim Carlson (CEO). All three founders had previous experience in the industry and were able to

leverage previous celebrity relationships, employees, and industry “know-how” to launch the

Zurixx business. Since founding the business, Zurixx’s management team has focused on

managing business fundamentals including detailed weekly financial statement reports, weekly

cash-flow forecast as well as other Key Performance Indicators (“KPI”). The Zurixx

management team recognizes that many of its competitors, both current and former, lack a

similar focus which frequently leads liquidation issues that often end up in bankruptcy. This

data-driven approach has become a competitive advantage for Zurixx and is one of the most

important factors in the Company’s on-going success.

B. Zurixx Legal Entity Structure

Figure 1 below shows the Zurixx legal structure as of December 31, 2017.

2. Dorado Marketing & Management, LLC (“Dorado”)

a) Overview

Dorado’s primary function is marketing, event management, and celebrity contract

management celebrity management. However, Dorado also provides administrative executive

support for marketing and events (see the Marketing and Events Management sections). All

Dorado employees are residents of Puerto Rico. The Zurixx Group management headquarters

are located in Dorado, Puerto Rico. Operations for Dorado began in January 2015. Dorado

follows a calendar year and keeps its books and records in U.S. dollars as its functional

currency.

Dorado has elected to be treated as a corporation for both U.S. federal and Puerto Rican tax

purposes. The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico is a United States territory, not a state.

Consequently, U.S. federal income taxes do not apply generally to income generated by Puerto

Rico corporations as they are treated as foreign corporations not generally subject to U.S. federal

corporate tax rates.

On January 17, 2012, Puerto Rico enacted Act No. 20 of 2012, as amended, known as the “Export

Services Act,” “the Act,” or “Act 20,” to offer the necessary elements for the creation of a world-

class international service center. The Act establishes a legal framework of incentives designed

to stimulate the development of a wide variety of ventures, including the export of services.

Additionally, this law promotes investments in research and development and initiatives from

the academic and private sectors by granting credits and exemptions for these activities.

Further, the Act helps to decrease operational and energy spending for companies moving to

the island to help their operations remain profitable and efficient.

The Act provides tax exemptions and tax credits to businesses engaged in eligible activities in

Puerto Rico. To qualify for Act 20 benefits, a business prepares an application that includes

details about the services it will provide at its Puerto Rican entity including details regarding

employee headcount, wages, projected revenues from providing the services and other similar

financial information required on the Act 20 application.5

5 The Act provides benefits for services provided from Puerto Rico to outside markets. Eligible activities to receive benefits under the Act are services in the following areas: i) research and development; ii) advertising and public relations; iii) economic, scientific, environmental, technological, managerial, marketing, human resources, engineering, information systems, auditing, and consulting services; iv) consulting services for any trade or business; v) commercial art and graphic services; vi) production of engineering and architectural plans and designs, and related services; vii) professional services such as legal, tax, and accounting services; viii) centralized managerial services, including, but no limited to, strategic direction, planning and budgeting, provided by regional headquarters or a headquarters company engaged in the business of providing such services; ix) services performed by electronic data processing centers; x) development of licensee computer software; xi) telecommunications voice and data

The business submits its completed application to the Office of Industrial Tax Exemption of

Puerto Rico. The decree issued by the Puerto Rican government provides full detail of tax rates

and conditions mandated by the Act and is considered a contract between the Government of

Puerto Rico and the service provider. Dorado filed its application in August 2014 and obtained

its tax exemption decree in January 20156.

Dorado is not subject to any taxes (e.g., dividend tax, tollgate tax etc.) with exception to local

corporate and municipal taxes on its income from its eligible activities in Puerto Rico. Dorado is

also subject to Puerto Rico’s fixed income tax rate established in the tax decree.

D. Products

Zurixx markets and sells workshops and events, online content as well as coaching sessions

focused on teaching students how to invest in real estate and how to become a successful

entrepreneur. The Zurixx target customer is between 35 and 55 years old and is looking for a

way to earn extra money apart from a typical full-time job. Zurixx plans to launch a stock

market education program in 2018 to further expand its educational offerings. While product

lines (i.e., real estate and entrepreneurship) don’t change very often, the brands (i.e., celebrity

endorsements) under the product line umbrellas frequently change to align with market

preferences and interests.

Zurixx has developed certain educational programs branded as the following:

1. Success Path Education

Success Path Education is a real estate training workshop that is built around the “know-how”

and persona of Tarek and Christina El Mousa. This workshop teaches participants how to

successfully renovate and “flip” houses by focusing on topics like business planning and goal

setting, asset protection, acquisition funding, and legal entity formation. Specifically, the

Success Path workshops teach participants the following subjects:

• How to launch a real estate business and generate a profit by flipping, buying

and holding, and wholesaling homes;

• How to find unlisted properties using nontraditional techniques;

• How to utilize participants credit, retirement savings, hard money lenders,

gap funding, and traditional mortgages to fund real estate transactions; and,

between persons located outside of Puerto Rico; xii) call centers; xiii) shared service centers; xiv) medical, hospital, and laboratories services; xv) investment banking and other financial services, including but not limited to asset management, alternative investments, management of activities related to private capital investment, management of coverage funds or high-risk funds, management of pools of capital, trust management that serves to convert different groups of assets into securities, and escrow account management services; and xvi) any other service designated by the Secretary of the Department of Economic Development and Commerce of Puerto Rico.

6 A copies of Zurixx’s Act 20 application and decree are available upon request.

• How to generate income through wholesale real estate transactions and,

connecting with real estate investors for a finder’s fee.

Participants receive a starter kit including an MP3 player and a compact disc featuring 50 Ways

to Find Your Next Flip.

2. Daymond John’s Launch Academy

The Launch Academy helps participants achieve their goals of becoming a successful

entrepreneur. This workshop focuses on helping prospective entrepreneurs make the transition

from an idea to the actual launch of a business. Further, the workshops teach participants

strategies to manage money, position the business, and creating a legacy. Launch Academy

was introduced to the market during the third quarter of 2015. The topics covered during the

training include the following:

• Validating the business concept;

• Moving toward a product launch with greater speed;

• Engaging with potential customers and transforming them into buyers; and,

• Positioning leaders to efficiently build the business.

The skills obtained during the workshop include mastering the components of a business

presentation, business planning and goal setting, marketing strategy and research, social media

and networking tools, funding acquisitions, and advertising and media. All attendees receive a

starter kit including an MP3 player and Daymond John’s eBooks, Stepping Up for Success and

Perfecting Your Pitch.

3. The Flipping Formula

Pete Souhleris and Dave Seymour built a successful house-flipping business on a formula they

created. Pete and Dave, in partnership with Zurixx, have turned their formula into an

educational program that has helped people start their own successful real estate businesses.

Similar to Success Path, participants learn how to find unlisted properties, which are below

market value, obtain financing, create cash flow, and complete a wholesale real estate

transaction in 60 to 90-days. Participants receive a starter kit including the Ripe or Rotten? DVD

on how to evaluate properties, the Zero to Hero DVD, the Flipping Formula eBook, and the 24

Ways to Profit eBook.

The Flipping Formula helps participants determine the profitability of their prospective

purchases. The formula starts with surveying three months of sales data for comparable

properties within a mile and a two-and-a-half-mile radius. Once a probable post-flip listing

price is determined, the program employs a Maximum Offer for Ownership (“MOFO”)

formula. The formula starts with the post-flip listing price and subtracts an ideal profit

(generally 20 percent to account for the unexpected), an allotment for fees like commissions and

closing costs, and the cost of construction, which is carefully determined after reviewing bids

from multiple contractors. The formula also incorporates what design trends and products are

important to adding value.

4. Winning the Property War

Doug Hopkins and Damon Line have decades of professional real estate experience and have

put together their flipping and wholesaling strategies into an educational program called

Winning the Property War. This seminar trains real estate agents and investors to: 1) learn to

flip, renovate, and wholesale houses; 2) obtain key real estate information; and, 3) position the

participants to become full-time real estate investors.

5. Property Bank

Mike Baird from Spike TV’s Flip Men and Greg Herlean, best-selling author of Bank on This,

have created the Property Bank real estate training system. This educational system teaches

participants how to find growth and wealth opportunities.

6. Conclusion

Many of the previously described products follow a “product funnel” that seek to steadily

engage customers with additional advanced trainings and products. Figure 2 below illustrates

the product sale funnel that customers typically engage in.

III. Industry Background8

Zurixx operates in two broad industry categories: Education and training services industry;

and, sales and marketing industry. Though Zurixx operates in each industry simultaneously,

each industry has unique characteristics and is analyzed separately in this section.

A. Education and Training Services Industry

1. Industry Overview

Companies in the education and training services industry include business and secretarial

schools; technical and trade schools; and providers of tutoring, exam preparation, and other

workshops and seminars. Educational services are typically marketed to both businesses and

individual consumers.

Industry demand is driven by several factors, but employment trends, changes in disposable

income and demographic trends are the primary drivers of industry performance. It is

estimated that the educational services sector will grow at an annualized rate of 1.3 percent over

the five years through 2023.

The primary disciplines and schools that attract students include technical and trade schools,

business schools and information technology training. Technical and trade schools include

cosmetology, flight, real estate, bartending, apprenticeship, and professional development

institutions. Business and computer training programs offer secretarial, court reporting,

software programming, and computer networking courses. Other services include fine arts

schools, sports and recreation instruction, language schools, exam preparation and tutoring,

and driving schools.

2. Performance

Part of the educational and training services industry includes trade schools and primary

educational institutions which are subsidized by government programs. Increased government

funding is expected to drive some of the growth in the industry. However, increased access to

the internet and online programs will tighten competition and may constrain revenue growth.

Finally, disposable income is expected to increase at an annualized rate of 1.9 percent between

2018 and 2023. As a result, consumers will be more likely to spend discretionary income on

additional services and goods, including educational services. Steady unemployment rates will

likely push individuals to seek education and other sources of income to supplement their

needs.

Page | 21

Economics Partners, LLC

www.econpartners.com

3. Competition

Postsecondary and other educational programs are subject to intense competition due to the

variability and multitude of substitute products. Because of web platforms and software

programs, this competition has increased as consumers are no longer limited to educational

programs that are within their physical or geographic proximity. Success in this sector is driven

by reputable brand name and image, access to skilled instructors, and economics (e.g., cost of

training, potential return on investment etc.). Some sectors within the industry are subject to

additional government regulations and therefore require additional investments and costs to

comply with these requirements.

B. Sales and Marketing Industry Overview

1. Industry Overview

Companies in the sales and marketing industry create advertising campaigns, implement public

relations campaigns, and engage in media buying, among other advertising services. Major

services are advertising for print, broadcast, and online media, direct marketing, and public

relations. Other services include display advertising, media buying, and media representation.

The primary goal of sales and marketing consultants is to provide assistance to strategy,

planning, pricing, market evaluation, customer analysis, competitive analysis, product

development and forecasting.

2. Performance

Demand for advertising and marketing services comes largely from individual and corporate

businesses that sell consumer products, entertainment, financial services, technology, and

telecommunications services. Demand for industry services is linked to the availability of

financial resources and other discretionary expenditures by businesses and individuals. The

profitability of individual companies depends on creative skills and maintaining client

relationships. Increased broadband connectivity has driven the availability of products and

therefore increased competition. This has translated to strong demand for advertising and sales

services that has increased revenue growth to 1.9 percent in 2016. Overall, the marketing and

sales industry has grown due to a bolstered economic recovery and increased levels of excess

cash to spend on consultancy services. Level of demand for marketing and sales consultants is

typically linked to the economic cycle.

3. Competition

The marketing and sales consulting industry is fragmented and consists of numerous small

firms that tend to service niche markets. However, the industry still contains several larger

companies such as advertising multinationals and large consulting firms that are responsible for

a large portion of industry revenue. Larger businesses include Accenture Ltd., McKinsey &

Company, Publicis Groupe and WPP PLC. Good consulting firms operative effectively when

they have access to a highly skilled workforce and establish a well-known brand name.

Consultants are valuable due to their distinguished experience and expertise. Companies that

can recruit and manage talented employees and industry experts will likely see better customer

results. As companies become more globalized, product offerings will expand into other areas

of consultancy and expertise. Smaller firms and businesses will have to set apart their services

by offering enhanced knowledge and greater customer service.

IV. Functional Analysis

A. Introduction

A functional analysis is an analysis of a company’s operations and business processes that

identifies the key sources of economic value that pertain to each intercompany transaction. A

meaningful functional analysis focuses primarily on the contributions to economic value on

each side of an intercompany transaction, rather than simply cataloging the functions

performed by each entity that participates in a given transaction. As such, a functional analysis

is essential to the development and documentation of intercompany transfer prices, because it

provides the information necessary to evaluate how economic value is created, and how a

transfer pricing structure should distribute that value.

In general, a firm’s stock of assets, or flow of functions performed over time, can be

characterized as either “routine,” or “non-routine.” Routine assets and functions are typically

fairly standard, re-deployable, and general in nature. These are assets or activities that have a

clear opportunity cost in the open market, and which in equilibrium would earn a competitive

rate of return (also referred to as a “routine” rate of return, or a “normal” rate of return).

Routine assets and functions are, as the name implies, amenable to benchmarking.

Often, the activities and assets associated with distribution or standard manufacturing are

viewed as routine. To the extent that these assets and functions can be redeployed to a higher

valued use if they are unable to generate an adequate rate of return when used within the

related party system, the assets are likely to be routine in nature. Distribution companies

typically realize a measurable, and somewhat predictable, level of profitability because they

operate in a competitive market – made so by the non-unique nature of the distribution

function. Many routine manufacturing companies operate in a similar environment, for similar

reasons. Other activities that are typically thought of as routine include administrative

functions, certain routine marketing functions, and accounting functions.

By contrast, non-routine assets and functions are in some way non-standard, usually non-re-

deployable, and relatively unique. Non-routine assets and functions create a barrier to entry or

market niche for a company. Essentially, these functions represent strategic investments by a

company. Should the investments succeed, the company earns economic rents (profit in excess

of the competitive rate of return). Should the investments fail, the investment cost is not

reimbursed, and the company typically earns a routine rate of return, or less. In short, non-

routine assets and functions represent investments by a company in an attempt to garner a

competitive advantage over its rivals.

The fact that non-routine intangibles are, by definition, unique or non-replicable in some way,

makes it difficult to provide a list of general “classes” of assets that are non-routine. However, a

somewhat ad hoc list of specific examples of non-routine assets is certainly possible. Often,

research and development activities directed at the creation of a competitive advantage are non-

routine. Similarly, marketing activities that create strong brand name identity, or consistently

Case 2:19-cv-00713-DAK-EJF Document 71-1 Filed 12/13/19 Page 24 of 85

Page | 24

Economics Partners, LLC

www.econpartners.com

profitable customer relationships, can be thought of as non-routine. In many cases, brand

intangibles, whether in-licensed or self-developed, contribute to economic profit. So-called

“asset specificity,” whereby a firm creates a production process, design set (for example,

through engineering), or physical asset base, that is tailored to a long run economic relationship

with a specific customer or set of customers, is also non-routine. Finally, activities that create a

strong position in a niche market, such as market identification, product design, and specialized

sales activities, can be non-routine in nature.

A key purpose of the functional analysis process, then, is to draw a relation between a

company’s activities and assets, and economic value. In many cases, this mapping is greatly

facilitated by classifying activities and assets as routine and non-routine. In short, drawing on

the results of the functional analysis, the final conclusions of a transfer pricing analysis should

be roughly consistent with the identification of the two categories of functions, assets, and risks.

Transfer prices should reward routine activities at a level that is roughly consistent with, or

commensurate with, their opportunity cost. Consequently, any residual profit or loss should

flow, or accrue, to non-routine activities and assets.

B. Overview of Transaction

The intercompany transaction at issue in this report is the provision of certain services,

including marketing, public relations, consulting, event management, celebrity management

and administrative support for marketing and events (“covered services”) from Dorado to

Zurixx US. Details are given in the “Master Services Agreement”9 effective January 1, 2015 and

is available upon request. During a given fiscal year, Dorado charges Zurixx US for its covered

services.

C. Functions Performed

This section provides a summary of the functions performed by the parties to the controlled

transactions. These functions are classified in nine categories: (1) Accounting and Finance; (2)

Celebrity Relationships; (3) Marketing; (4) Event Planning and Management; (5) Events

Support; (6) Information Technology; (7) Customer Support; (8) Sales; and, (9) Coaching and

Education.

1. Accounting and Finance

The accounting and finance team manages all corporate finances, including financial statement

preparation, cash management, payroll, financial planning and analysis, and corporate

expenditures. This includes the accounting and finance functions for both Zurixx US and

Dorado. The team consists of the CFO, Controller, and five staff accountants, all based in the

US.

9 Additional details regarding the “Master Services Agreement” can be found in Table 6 of this report.

Page | 25

Economics Partners, LLC

www.econpartners.com

a) Payroll

Payroll for the entire company is processed weekly by the accounting team. The payroll and

commissions are calculated in the US. Zurixx US holds a bank account for US payroll and a

separate account for Puerto Rico payroll. The Controller works with the Puerto Rico Office

Manager and an outsourced payroll company to coordinate payroll for the Puerto Rico

employees. A different third-party payroll company is used to process payroll for all US

employees.

2. Celebrity Relationships

Celebrity relationships are maintained by executives who reside in Puerto Rico.

The executives spend about 60 percent of their time maintaining existing celebrity relationships

and the remaining 40 percent identifying and negotiating new celebrity contracts. The CEO and

President, both reside in Puerto Rico, work to identify up and coming celebrities who have

developed a brand and following through television programs and other social media channels.

Ideally, entering into contracts with new and up-and-coming celebrities as they are just starting

to gain popularity is the most effective and cost-efficient approach to developing a new

celebrity brand. The process for signing a new celebrity involves several steps:

• The President makes initial contact with the celebrity, either directly or through his/her

agent by phone

• The President presents the proposed arrangement and discusses the contractual terms.

• The celebrity or his/her agent will meet in-person with the President to finalize

contractual terms and conditions.

• The celebrity will attend a Zurixx-sponsored event to better understand the business

model and how his/her product offering will be packaged and presented to the public.

• The final contract is signed and the content for the program is developed, tested and

finalized.

Zurixx US pays celebrities a commission based on the sales made of their respective brands.

Celebrities earn, on average, a five percent commission on sales related to his/her training

program. Most celebrity contracts have three-year terms, with an additional auto-renew at the

fourth year. Celebrity contracts are entered between the celebrities themselves and Zurixx US.

A considerable amount of time is spent by the executive team in Puerto Rico maintaining

celebrity contracts. Celebrities often request information about how their brand is performing as

well as how his/her brand is perceived in the marketplace.

Zurixx maintains a reserve for legal costs and sales declines as a result of celebrity relationships

that deteriorate.

3. Marketing

There are 12 members of the marketing team, including a Marketing Director. The Marketing

Director oversees the day-to-day activities of the marketing team as well as the events team,

which is headquartered in Puerto Rico. Ultimately, the CEO provides oversight and direction to

the marketing team. The CEO, who physically resides in Puerto Rico, has developed the

marketing models and associated business processes that help guide the overall marketing

strategy of Zurixx.

a) Marketing Activities

The marketing team spends a considerable portion of its time coordinating the drafting and

production of printed material with an external vendor. Additionally, the team manages and

creates graphic design, video promotions, and associated marketing materials.

The marketing team utilizes a mix of both targeted direct mail and digital marketing campaigns

to promote its educational seminars in the US and Canada. The team also tracks and analyzes

demographic and lifestyle data for key North American markets where the Company will offer

its training seminars. The data analytics helps the Company to better identify and message its

offering to target attendees.

In addition to its customer analytics, the marketing team also performs ongoing studies

regarding the use of celebrities to help attract participants to the Company’s seminars. These

studies show that sales increase by 10-15 percent as a result of using a celebrity brand as

compared to a non-branded, non-celebrity event. The majority of market research work is

organized and led by the CEO in Puerto Rico.

b) Public Relations

Zurixx outsources most of its public relations efforts to external vendors, including Big Leap for

online reputation, Avalaunch Media for digital public relations and content writing, Venable for

Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) consulting, and Levick for public relations legal advice. The

Marketing team also employs an in-house Public Relations Director.

c) Marketing Intellectual Property

Zurixx US owns all images and photos that are generated by the Marketing team. However, if a

celebrity provides his/her image and allows the Company to use it to market training seminars,

the celebrity retains ownership of these photos and images. To date, the Company hasn’t taken

any legal action on trademark or tradename infringements.

4. Event Planning and Management

The Events team is in located in Puerto Rico and is comprised of six team members. The

Department’s primary roles are to book events, arrange the venues, schedule presenters, and

Case 2:19-cv-00713-DAK-EJF Document 71-1 Filed 12/13/19 Page 27 of 85

Page | 27

Economics Partners, LLC

www.econpartners.com

coordinate with the Marketing team for both current and future events. The Company uses a

third-party travel agency to book travel for the roadcrew and presenters.

Events in the same geographic region are spaced out according to the type of event and brand.

For example, Daymond John entrepreneurship events occur in the same geographic region

about every three months. The real estate events, however, only occur every six months in any

given region.

a) Events Intellectual Property

The events team in Puerto Rico owns all intellectual property related to the calendar of future

events and approved vendor lists. The events team takes precautions to protect this IP from

competitors (i.e. the Company does not want its competitors to schedule a competing event at

the same time and in the same geographical location). Additionally, the Company receives bulk

venue discounts with large hotel chains. While price is important when selecting venues, the

quality of the venue for a particular event is more important to the events team. All

relationships with large hotel and venue chains are managed from Puerto Rico. Given the

highly competitive nature of the industry, the events team also encourages venues to sign non-

compete and non-disclosure agreements.

b) Dorado

The Dorado events team works closely with the marketing, equipment, and sales teams to

ensure all necessary materials and equipment (e.g., audio and video equipment, Point of Sale

terminals etc.) arrive at an event site according to schedule. Additionally, all events team

members are required to attend at least one event (e.g., preview, workshop, etc.) in the US as

part of their initial and ongoing training.

c) Canada

During a given year, the events team will schedule and conduct multiple events in several

Canadian cities, including Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, Calgary and Edmonton. The process for

booking events in Canada is similar to the process for booking events in the US, with a few

minor differences. For example, due to delays in crossing the Canadian border with AV

equipment, the Company will rent this equipment directly from the venue. Dorado is

responsible for scheduling and booking events in Canada.

5. Sales Support

The sales support and management team manage the roadcrew, event directors, and speakers,

and ensures that each event has the needed supplies, equipment, AV equipment and provides

ongoing technical support. Although Zurixx US interacts with hotels and venue staff

occasionally, the relationship with venues is owned and managed by the events team. The

exceptions to this are specialized events when more technical support and coordination with

Case 2:19-cv-00713-DAK-EJF Document 71-1 Filed 12/13/19 Page 28 of 85

Page | 28

Economics Partners, LLC

www.econpartners.com

venue staff is needed, including the annual Vegas event and various advanced camps held

throughout the year.

a) Turnkey and Printed Materials

The sales support team works closely with Turnkey Inc., a third-party printing and logistics

company, to manage the printing and shipping of educational materials for each event. Preview

kits, brochures, bound books, handouts and order forms are distributed at preview and

workshop events. Each item includes the brand and logo of the event.

The sales support team does not maintain an inventory of printed materials at its office or a

warehouse, this is done to help manage printing and storage costs. Dorado works closely with

the marketing team to determine the amount of printed materials needed for each event based

on projected attendee counts. Turnkey maintains sufficient inventories of the various printed

materials and will ship these items directly to the venue site when notified by Dorado to do so.

Turnkey holds title to and risk of loss of the printed materials until the material is distributed to

students at events. After each event, any excess materials that are reusable are mailed back to a

Turnkey location for use at a future event and all unusable materials are discarded.

b) Dorado

The support team is highly integrated with the Puerto Rico-based events team in coordinating

and planning events. The two teams communicate regularly. While the events team plans and

authorizes events, the support team carries out the events.

6. Information Technology

All IT functions and software infrastructure development efforts are managed by the IT team,

which is in the US. The IT team manages both hardware and software technology solutions for

the Company. There are two IT employees, a director of IT and a help desk specialist.

a) Computer Hardware

Most hardware components are managed and maintained by the Zurixx IT team. The

Company’s primary data server is in Utah with an additional server located at its Puerto Rico

office. The Company integrates call center phones with various software systems to track

customer interactions.

The team outsources all hardware installation, configuration and maintenance related to CISCO

products.

b) Software

Zurixx employees use both off-the-shelf and customized software in conducting the day-to-day

operations of the business. All the software customizations are performed by the IT Director,

Case 2:19-cv-00713-DAK-EJF Document 71-1 Filed 12/13/19 Page 29 of 85

except for the custom EMS software, which was outsourced to an independent software

developer. The outsourced developer has also spent a small amount of time integrating the EMS

with Moodle and Sugar CRM.

c) Dorado

Zurixx US provides IT support and infrastructure to Dorado. When Dorado was formed, the IT

Director traveled to Puerto Rico to setup and configure the network and server located there.

The IT team periodically travels to Puerto Rico to perform network maintenance and hardware

upgrades. The US help desk provides support for all Puerto Rico employees and manages data

storage and hardware for Dorado. When new hardware is needed in the Puerto Rico office, the

IT team purchases and configures the hardware in the US and then ships the hardware to

Puerto Rico. The Puerto Rico office has its own server.

Dorado is highly integrated with all the software systems managed by Zurixx US. They access

all company data through Sugar CRM and a private VPN portal.

7. Customer Support

The customer service department performs two primary functions: 1) Inbound communication

from seminar participants and attendee registrants; and, 2) outbound communication with

attendees and no-shows. Currently, 75 percent of customer communications are phone calls

with the remaining 25 percent of customer interactions occurring via email. Each inbound and

outbound call is tracked in the Company’s highly-customized Sugar CRM platform.

Additionally, for legal and training purposes, each inbound and outbound call is recorded on

Asterisk, a third-party phone management system, to ensure quality and compliance with all

government rules.

Between the US and Puerto Rico, there are 18 full-time employees in the customer service

department, including a US director, a US supervisor and a Puerto Rico supervisor. The

customer service team expanded its operations to Puerto Rico in January 2016 and the team is

now highly integrated between both locations. Both teams have access to the same customer

information and software tools. The Customer Service Director manages and oversees the

department’s operations in both locations and works closely with supervisors in each location.

Although the two supervisors reside in different geographies, each is responsible for overseeing

the work done by team members in both the US and Puerto Rico.

a) Inbound Communications

When current or prospective customers contact the Company they are directed first to the

customer support team. There are various reasons that people contact the company, but most of

the calls and emails are questions from current customers about products and events they have

already purchased.

Because the customer support team has employees in both the US and Puerto Rico, the hours of

operation for the department are extended past normal business hours. Between 7:00 and 9:00

AM Mountain Time, all calls are routed by the company’s phone system, Asterisk, to the

customer support team in Puerto Rico. Between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM Mountain Time, calls or

emails are routed to either the US team or the Puerto Rico team, depending on availability. All

customer emails are placed in a queue that either team can answer at any time.

b) Outbound Communications

Shortly after a customer purchases a product, the support team will contact the individual to

welcome the customer and verify that all the contact information is correct. Additionally, the

support team will contact all event attendees to ensure that the attendees are satisfied with their

participation and purchase of training materials. It is important to note that these follow-up

calls are not sales calls. While the sales department also calls event participants as part of the

sales process, the customer service employees do not sell additional products to customers.

Rather, the customer service department uses outbound calls to ensure quality and customer

satisfaction.

Another function performed by the customer service group is contract compliance. When a

customer purchases additional training or materials, he is placed in an online queue in Sugar

CRM for a follow up discussion to review the online contract. As soon as a customer signs the

online contract, the sale is finalized, and the customer’s credit card or bank account is charged

for the seminar or product. Because it is more complex than normal communication, contract

compliance is primarily performed by the US team.

c) AD Hoc Requests and Refunds

The customer support team is also involved in various ad hoc inbound and outbound

communications as needs arise, such as changes in venues or refunds. Every time a customer

calls in for a refund, a “case” is created. For smaller cases, the refund is immediately paid. For

larger refunds, the case goes to a “Saves” team, which tries to dissuade people from canceling

and seeking a refund. The “Saves” team is comprised of four US employees. Although most

refunds can be issued without approval, large refunds must be approved by the director.

d) Team Management

When a new employee joins the customer service department, there is no formal training; most

of the training occurs on the job. On average, it takes about two weeks for a customer service

representative to be fully onboarded and trained.

The entire department (both the US and PR teams) have weekly meetings via Skype where they

receive training on best practices and talk about company and department updates. Although

there is minimal turnover in the department, hiring and firing decisions are made jointly by the

director and respective supervisor in each jurisdiction. The director travels to Puerto Rico at

least once a quarter to train employees, manage logistics, and interview new hires. Given the

strict labor laws in Puerto Rico, the director works closely with in-house counsel to ensure that

the company remains compliant with all Puerto Rican employment laws. Additionally, each

customer service employee will visit the other team’s location, respectively, on a frequent basis.

On average, there is one employee per week visiting the other team’s location. During these

visits, employees are trained and mentored by their co-workers..

8. Sales

The sales team is divided into three groups: Roadcrew; Educational Programs Telesales; and,

Backend Services Telesales. Like other Zurixx departments, there is very little, if any, employee

turnover in the Sales team.

a) Road Crew

The Road Crew team is composed of independent contractors who help run events at venues

across the US and Canada. The team sets up equipment, registers attendees, and processes

payments for products that customers purchase at events through a third-party payment

processing platform called, Zpay.

b) Educational Programs

The Educational Programs Telesales team calls prospects after they have attended a preview

event or three-day workshop to sell them additional Zurixx products and services. This team

primarily focuses on cross-selling one-on-one coaching sessions and individual mentoring

packages.

c) Back-End Services

Many of the Zurixx customers are new to entrepreneurship and real estate investing. The Back-

End Services Telesales team offers post-event support service packages to help these customers

set-up and operate their new businesses. Specifically, the team helps existing customers form

legal entities, prepare tax filings and other similar legal and compliance work. Most of these

sales occur over the telephone; however, these services are also sold at live events in advanced

seminars in places like Las Vegas.

Page | 33

Economics Partners, LLC

www.econpartners.com

When a customer purchases the backend services, the sales team will connect the customer with

various third-party accountants and lawyers who perform the services. The agreements with

these vendors are with Zurixx US. Zurixx bills the customer directly and simultaneously pays

the vendors. The client never interacts with the legal advisor – the sales team collects all the

needed information in Sugar CRM and passes it on to the legal advisor for processing.

However, the client does interact directly with the accounting vendor. Zurixx US has a fixed fee

arrangement with the accounting vendor and a commission-based arrangement with the legal

vendor.

Canadian students that are making investments in the US face additional backend nuances.

Although the Zurixx sales team will assist its Canadian customers on making investments in the

US, the team does not provide backend services for real estate or business investments in

Canada.

d) Dorado

The sales department works closely with the customer service department, including the

customer service team in Puerto Rico. Several times per day the customer service

representatives will pass on referrals to the sales teams.

9. Coaching and Educational Content

Coaching is Zurixx’s highest margin product and comprises between 20 and 30 percent of the

Company’s revenues. Students pay for one-on-one phone coaching sessions on real estate

investing and small business entrepreneurship. Additionally, customers who purchase

professional coaching packages obtain access to an online database of educational videos taught

by the various coaches. The coaching team, headquartered in the US, manages the coaching

relationships and the material provided on the online educational platform.

The coaching team has experienced very little turnover since the inception of the Company. The

customer support team also receives very few refund requests related to coaching services.

Coaching and mentoring materials are modified and customized for the Canadian market.

All video production and script writing is performed internally at the Zurixx Utah office.

Currently, the Company has more than 100 videos in its online training library.

a) Coaching

The twelve coaches, who are all full-time Zurixx US employees, have all personally been

successful real estate investors and entrepreneurs. Most coaches work from home, although

their coaching schedules are managed by the coaching team. The coaches are trained on a

proprietary Zurixx “accountability” model that focuses on personal goal setting and

mentorship. Coaches have an opportunity to obtain external certifications to help grow their

credentials. Most coaches teach both real estate investing and entrepreneurship principles. All

coaches working for Zurixx are required to sign a non-disclosure agreement. Coaches meet

weekly with Zurixx executives to receive training and to help coordinate brand alignment,

scheduling, and discuss new market initiatives.

Zurixx owners are very involved in the coaching function. Each of the three owners interacts on

a regular basis with all of the coaches/mentors.

b) Online Educational Platform

The educational videos and other training materials are stored and managed on a third-party

platform called Moodle. The content is all created and produced internally by the coaching

team and is owned by Zurixx US. Each video is refreshed every two to three years or when a

new coach joins the team. The goal is to provide relevant and timely content to students.

c) Mentoring

In addition to coaching, Zurixx offers mentoring services to its students. Mentoring includes in-

person meetings and training between the student and the mentor. An example of a common

mentoring activity is when a mentor travels to the student’s place of business and will jointly to

identify and visit investment properties to help in student select and purchase a property.

Mentoring makes up a small portion of the Company’s revenues and is managed by the

coaching team. Zurixx provides in-house entrepreneurship mentoring, but contracts with a

third-party for all real estate mentoring.

d) Dorado

The sales team is required to coordinate with the Company’s in-house legal counsel located in

Puerto Rico. The legal team reviews sales session transcripts and presentations to ensure

everything that is said is compliant with government regulations. In addition, the coaching

team receives direction and approval from Dorado executives on how to conduct training and

manage the workload.

10. Intercompany Agreements and Financing

a) Intercompany Agreements

Table Six details the intercompany agreement between Zurixx US and Dorado:

b) External Financing Activities

As of December 31, 2017, Zurixx US did not have outstanding debt with external lenders or

financing organizations.

c) Internal Financing Activities

As of December 31, 2017, the Company did not have any internal financing arrangements.

D. Conclusion

EP’s interviews of Company representatives along with an analysis of the Zurixx operating

structure suggests the following:

• Zurixx US operates as the entrepreneur with responsibilities for developing and

investing in intellectual property, making capital investments to grow the business and

assuming the primary enterprise risks associated with operating this type of business.

• Dorado performs functions that are consistent with those of a value-added service

provider that performs high-value services involving marketing, customer

identification, celebrity contract management, event planning and strategic operations of

the business.

In constructing this functional analysis, EP interviewed various Zurixx employees to

understand the nature and structure of the Zurixx organization.

V. Regulatory Overview

A. U.S. Transfer Pricing Regulations

As was noted previously in this report, the US Regulations concerning transfer pricing are

provided largely by Section 482 of the Internal Revenue Code. In the sections that follow, we

provide an overview of the US Regulations relevant to the transactions covered by this report,

including available methods and additional considerations for transactions involving tangible

goods, services, intangible property and intercompany loans.

B. The Arm’s Length Principle

The arm’s length standard is common to most transfer pricing regulations around the world,

including the US Regulations. In general, a controlled transaction meets the arm’s length

standard if the results of the transaction are consistent with the results that would have been

realized if uncontrolled taxpayers had engaged in comparable transactions under comparable

circumstances. In order to be “comparable” to a controlled transaction, an uncontrolled

transaction need not be identical to the controlled transaction but must only be sufficiently

similar that it provides a reliable measure of an arm’s length result. To meet the arm’s length

standard, a controlled taxpayer’s results need only be within the range of results determined by

the results of two or more comparable uncontrolled transactions.

The US Regulations give the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) broad authority to reallocate

income or deductions between related entities if the Service determines that such allocation “is

necessary in order to prevent evasion of taxes or clearly to reflect the income” of such related

entities. The IRS states in the final Section 482 regulations that “[t]he purpose of section 482 is

to ensure that taxpayers clearly reflect income attributable to controlled transactions, and to

prevent the avoidance of taxes with respect to such transactions” by placing “a controlled

taxpayer on a tax parity with an uncontrolled taxpayer by determining the true taxable income

of the controlled taxpayer.”

The US Regulations reiterate the IRS’ support of the arm’s length standard, stating that:

the standard to be applied in every case is that of a taxpayer dealing at arm's length with

an uncontrolled taxpayer. A controlled transaction meets the arm’s length standard if

the results of the transaction are consistent with the results that would have been realized

if uncontrolled taxpayers had engaged in the same transaction under the same

circumstances...10

The key concept underlying application of the arm’s length standard is comparability; the

related party transaction in question should be assessed relative to comparable transactions

between uncontrolled parties under comparable circumstances. In view of the validity

10 Treas. Reg. §1.482-1(b)(1)

Case 2:19-cv-00713-DAK-EJF Document 71-1 Filed 12/13/19 Page 37 of 85

attributed to the arm’s length standard, prudence dictates that the arm’s length standard be

given a great deal of respect in analyzing any transfer pricing issue. The analysis in this report

is based exclusively on that standard.

Depending on the nature of the items transferred, the US Regulations require that slightly

different methods be employed to determine arm’s length prices. In every case, however, the

standard applied is that of an uncontrolled taxpayer dealing at arm’s length with an unrelated

party.

C. Best Method Rule

The US Regulations provide several methods for determining intercompany prices and require

that the “best” method be employed to determine arm’s length pricing for each intercompany

transaction. The best method is defined as the method that produces the most reliable measure

of an arm’s length result for the controlled transaction, considering all the facts and

circumstances of that transaction.

There are two primary factors that must be considered in order to determine which method is

best. The first is the degree of comparability between the controlled transaction and the

uncontrolled transaction. The five factors that must be considered when determining the

degree of comparability are:11

• Functions performed;

• Contractual terms;

• Risks borne;

• Economic conditions experienced; and,

• Nature of the property or services.

The functional analysis is critical in determining these five factors as they relate to the entities

under review. The functional analysis is the method of finding and organizing facts about the

businesses in terms of functions, risks, and intangibles in order to identify how these

characteristics are divided between the entities involved for the transactions under review. The

purpose of the functional analysis is to describe the activities undertaken by the entities in order

to identify comparable transactions that established an arm’s length range of prices. Thus, the

functional analysis provides a factual foundation for establishing a transfer pricing

methodology consistent with the arm’s length standard set forth in Section 482.

11 Treas. Reg. §1.482-1(d)(1)

Case 2:19-cv-00713-DAK-EJF Document 71-1 Filed 12/13/19 Page 38 of 85

Page | 38

Economics Partners, LLC

www.econpartners.com

The second consideration in determining the best method is the quality of the data and

assumptions used in the analysis. Again, there are several factors to consider in assessing the

quality of the data and assumptions. They are:

• Completeness and accuracy of data;

• Reliability of assumptions; and,

• Sensitivity of the results to deficiencies in data and assumptions.12

D. Choice of Methodology

As a general matter, one can classify transfer pricing methods into three categories:

transactional methods, profitability benchmarking methods, and profit split methods.

Transactional methods are based upon uncontrolled transactions considered comparable to a

given controlled transaction. When closely comparable transactions exist, the data related to

these uncontrolled transactions are considered to provide the most objective basis for

determining arm’s length pricing.

Profitability benchmarking methods examine the profitability of companies considered to be

comparable to one party in the controlled transaction. The idea behind these methods is that

transfer prices should be set in a manner that leaves one party to the transaction with

profitability that is consistent with the profitability observed in comparable, or “benchmark”

companies. These methods can be reliable when transactional data is not available, and when

one of the two entities in the related party transaction performs only routine functions that can

easily be benchmarked.

Profit split methods are distinguishable from profitability methods in that they are applied by

considering the contributions of both parties in the controlled transaction rather than focusing

only on one party. This method is appropriate for evaluating transactions where economic

profit, or residual profit, is attributable to the contributions of both parties.

E. Methods Available and Additional Considerations for Services

Transactions

1. Overview

In July 2006, the IRS issued temporary and proposed regulations that referenced the services

cost method (recall, the SCM), a new transfer pricing method applicable to certain controlled

services transactions. Such controlled services include back office services that are common

across many industry sectors and typically bear low arm’s length markups on total services

costs. These regulations were made final in 2009.13

12 Treas. Reg. §1.482-1(c)(2)(ii) 13 Refer to Treas. Reg. §1.482-9

Case 2:19-cv-00713-DAK-EJF Document 71-1 Filed 12/13/19 Page 39 of 85

Page | 39

Economics Partners, LLC

www.econpartners.com

Under specified circumstances, the SCM allows the arm's length charge for a controlled services

transaction to be determined by reference to total services costs, without a markup. Two

categories of covered services are potentially eligible for this method: “specified” covered

services and “low-margin” covered services.

To demonstrate that a particular controlled service qualifies for the SCM, the taxpayer, in its

business judgment, must reasonably conclude that the service does not contribute significantly

to key competitive advantages, core capabilities, or fundamental risks of success or failure in

one or more trades or businesses of the renderer, the recipient or both (the “business judgment

rule”). The IRS provides a “white list” of “specified” covered services which can be charged at

cost. These services include payroll, premiums for unemployment, disability, and workers

compensation, accounts receivable, accounts payable, general administrative, corporate and

public relations, meeting coordination and travel planning, accounting and auditing, tax, health,

safety, environment, and regulatory affairs, budgeting, treasury activities, statistical assistance,

staffing and recruiting, training and employee development, benefits, IT services, legal services,

insurance claims management, and purchasing.

Although specified covered services cover a wide range of support activities, the US Treasury

Department and the IRS recognize that the listing may not include the entire universe of low

margin services. In the case of other low margin services, taxpayers may seek to demonstrate

that the services qualify under the alternative mechanism in § 1.482-9(b)(3)(ii), as controlled

services transactions or services for which the median comparable arm’s length markup on total

services costs is less than or equal to seven percent.

Both specified covered services and low margin covered services must also meet the

requirements of the business judgment rule and must not be identified in § 1.482-9(b)(4) as

excluded transactions. The following nine categories of transactions, in whole or in part (the

"Excluded Transactions"), are not covered services (and thus the services are ineligible for the

SCM):

• Manufacturing;

• Production;

• Extraction, exploration or processing of natural resources;

• Construction;

• Reselling, distribution, acting as a sales or purchasing agent, or acting under a

commission or other similar arrangement;

• Research, development, or experimentation;

• Engineering or scientific; and,

• Insurance or reinsurance.

2. Benefit Test

The benefit test is used to determine whether the services being provided should be

compensated. An activity is considered to provide a benefit to the recipient if

Case 2:19-cv-00713-DAK-EJF Document 71-1 Filed 12/13/19 Page 40 of 85

Page | 40

Economics Partners, LLC

www.econpartners.com

the activity directly results in a reasonably identifiable increment of economic or

commercial value that enhances the recipient's commercial position, or that may

reasonably be anticipated to do so. An activity is generally considered to confer a benefit

if, taking into account the facts and circumstances, an uncontrolled taxpayer in

circumstances comparable to those of the recipient would be willing to pay an

uncontrolled party to perform the same or similar activity on either a fixed or contingent-

payment basis, or if the recipient otherwise would have performed for itself the same

activity or a similar activity.14

An activity is not considered to provide a benefit, if the anticipated benefit is so indirect or

remote that the recipient would not be willing to pay an uncontrolled party for the activity.

Second, an activity does not confer a benefit if it is duplicative with an activity performed by the

recipient on its own behalf. Third, an activity does not provide a benefit if the sole effect of that

activity is either to protect the renderer’s capital investment in the recipient or other members of

the controlled group or to facilitate compliance by the renderer with reporting, legal, or

regulatory requirements specifically applicable to the renderer. The activities are also referred

to as shareholder activities. Fourth, a controlled taxpayer generally will not be considered to

obtain a benefit where that benefit results from the controlled taxpayer's status as a member of a

controlled group. This is also referred to as “passive association.”

3. Methods Available for Services Transactions

a) Services Cost Method

The SCM evaluates whether the amount charged for covered services or low margin services is

arm’s length by reference to the total services costs with no markup. In other words, the arm’s

length price of the service is determined by calculating the total costs to provide the service.

The SCM was not applied in the given services transaction in this report due to the nature of the

services being provided. The services did not meet the applicability standards of being a

“covered” service or being a “low-margin” service. . If the SCM method is not applicable for a

given services transaction, then the comparable uncontrolled services price method, gross

services margin method, cost of services plus method, comparable profits method, profit split

method, or an unspecified method may be considered.

b) Comparable Uncontrolled Services Price (“CUSP”) Method

The CUSP method evaluates whether the amount charged in a controlled services transaction is

arm's length by reference to the amount charged in a comparable uncontrolled services

transaction. The comparable uncontrolled services price method is ordinarily used where the

14 Treas. Reg. §1.482-9(l)(3)(i).

Case 2:19-cv-00713-DAK-EJF Document 71-1 Filed 12/13/19 Page 41 of 85

Page | 41

Economics Partners, LLC

www.econpartners.com

controlled services either are identical to or have a high degree of similarity to the services in

the uncontrolled transaction.

c) Gross Services Margin (“GSM”) Method

The GSM method evaluates whether the amount charged in a controlled services transaction is

arm's length by reference to the gross profit margin realized in comparable uncontrolled

transactions. This method ordinarily is used in cases where a controlled taxpayer performs

services or functions in connection with an uncontrolled transaction between a member of the

controlled group and an uncontrolled taxpayer. This method may be used where a controlled

taxpayer renders services (agent services) to another member of the controlled group in

connection with a transaction between that other member and an uncontrolled taxpayer. This

method also may be used in cases where a controlled taxpayer contracts to provide services to

an uncontrolled taxpayer (intermediary function) and another member of the controlled group

actually performs a portion of the services provided.

d) Cost of Services Plus (“CSPL”) Method

The CSPL method evaluates whether the amount charged in a controlled services transaction is

arm's length by reference to the gross services profit markup realized in comparable

uncontrolled transactions. The cost of services plus method is ordinarily used in cases where

the controlled service renderer provides the same or similar services to both controlled and

uncontrolled parties. This method is ordinarily not used in cases where the controlled services

transaction involves a contingent payment arrangement.

e) Comparable Profits Method

The CPM evaluates whether the amount charged in a controlled transaction is arm's length,

based on objective measures of profitability derived from uncontrolled taxpayers that engage in

similar business activities under similar circumstances.

f) Profit Split Method

The PSM evaluates whether the allocation of the combined operating profit or loss attributable

to one or more controlled transactions is arm's length by reference to the relative value of each

controlled taxpayer's contribution to that combined operating profit or loss. The relative value

of each controlled taxpayer's contribution is determined in a manner that reflects the functions

performed, risks assumed, and resources employed by such controlled taxpayer in the relevant

business activity.

g) Unspecified Methods

Finally, an unspecified method should take into account the general principle that uncontrolled

taxpayers evaluate the terms of a transaction by considering the realistic alternatives to that

transaction, including economically similar transactions structured as other than services

Economics Partners, LLC

www.econpartners.com

transactions, and only enter into a particular transaction if none of the alternatives is preferable

to it.

F. Methods Available for Tangible Goods Transactions

The US Regulations provide specific methods for testing the arm’s length nature of transfers of

tangible property between related parties. These methods include the Comparable

Uncontrolled Price (“CUP”) Method, the Resale Price Method (“RPM”), the Cost Plus (“CP”)

Method, the Comparable Profits Method (recall, CPM), and the Profit Split Method (“PSM”). A

taxpayer may also elect a method that is not specified in the regulations, where none of the

specified methods can reasonably be applied under the facts and circumstances of a particular

case. Each of the methods under the Section 482 regulations is summarized below.

1. Comparable Uncontrolled Price Method

The CUP method refers to the price paid for same or similar property in a transaction between

unrelated parties to determine arm’s length consideration for controlled transactions.15 The

standard of comparability under the CUP method is very high, and a transaction is only

considered comparable if both the tangible property and circumstances surrounding the

controlled transaction are substantially the same as those of the uncontrolled transaction.

Additional factors for determining comparability include the quality of the product, the volume

of sales, the level of the market, the geographic market in which the transaction takes place, the

date the transaction takes place, and alternative commercial arrangements realistically available

to both parties. The US Regulations state that the CUP method, when it can be reasonably

applied on the basis of available data, will ordinarily provide the most accurate measure of an

arm’s length transfer price.

2. Cost Plus Method16

The CP method is applicable when transactions involve manufacturing, assembly or the

production of goods that are sold to related parties. Under this method, an arm’s length price is

equal to the controlled party’s cost of producing the property plus a gross profit markup. The

gross profit markup equals the gross profit in comparable uncontrolled transactions, expressed

as a percentage of cost.

Comparability factors that are relevant to the application of this method are complexity of

manufacturing or assembly; engineering; purchasing and inventory controls; testing; selling,

general and administrative expenses; currency risks; and credit terms. Appropriate

adjustments must be made to the gross profit in uncontrolled transactions to reflect differences

between the uncontrolled and controlled transactions.

Page | 43

Economics Partners, LLC

www.econpartners.com

3. Resale Price Method17

The RPM measures the value of distribution functions and therefore ordinarily applies when a

distributor purchases and resells tangible property without adding substantial value to the

property by altering it or by using intangible property. This method determines an arm’s

length price for goods by allocating to the controlled party an amount of income on its

distribution function equal to the gross profit margin (gross profit/sales) of a distributor

performing roughly similar functions with respect to purchases and sales with unrelated

parties.

Close physical similarity of the tangible property in the controlled and uncontrolled sales is

desirable but not required. Adjustments to the arm’s length price ultimately obtained after

applying an appropriate gross profit margin may be appropriate to account for differences in

the functions performed and the risks assumed in the controlled and uncontrolled transactions.

4. Comparable Profits Method18

The CPM establishes an arm’s length price for a controlled transfer of tangible or intangible

property by examining the profitability of uncontrolled taxpayers that engage in activities that

are similar to the tested party under comparable circumstances. An arm’s length range of

results is then determined based upon the amount of profit that the tested party would have

earned if the relevant profit level indicator (“PLI”) were equivalent to those of the uncontrolled

taxpayers.

Since the CPM measures the total return on business activities, comparable parties should be

broadly similar; significant product diversity and some functional diversity between controlled

and uncontrolled transactions are acceptable. A reasonable number of adjustments may be

made to the PLIs of the comparable parties to improve consistency and to achieve greater

similarity between comparable companies and the tested party.

As indicated, application of the CPM method requires selection of a “tested party.” The tested

party is the participant in the controlled transaction whose operating profit attributable to the

controlled transactions can be validated using the most reliable data, requiring the fewest and

most reliable adjustments. In addition, the availability of reliable data regarding uncontrolled

comparables affects the determination of the tested party. “Consequently, in most cases the

tested party will be the least complex of the controlled taxpayers and will not own valuable

intangible property or unique assets that distinguish it from potential uncontrolled

comparables.”19

5. Profit Split Method

The PSM “evaluates whether the allocation of the combined operating profit or loss attributable

to one or more controlled transactions is arm’s length by reference to the relative value of each

controlled taxpayer’s contribution to the combined operating profit or loss.”20 The most

narrowly defined business activity of the controlled taxpayer is used to derive the combined

operating profit. To determine the relative value of each party’s contribution to the success of

the relevant business activity, the functions performed, risks assumed, and resources employed

by each must be considered. Under this method, profit is divided among controlled taxpayers

either on the basis of a comparable profit split allocation or a residual profit split allocation.

6. Unspecified Methods

From the standpoint of Section 482, a method that is unspecified in that it is not the CUP

method, the cost-plus method, the resale price method, the CPM method, or the profit split

method can be applied if it provides the most reliable measure of an arm’s length result under

the principles of the best method rule. Unspecified methods are to take into account the general

principle that “information be provided on the prices or profits that the controlled taxpayer

could have realized by choosing a realistic alternative to the controlled transaction.”21

section.

VI. Economic Analysis

EP has elected to use an “Unspecified” method to evaluate the arm’s length nature of Dorado’s

intercompany sales and executive management fees charged to Zurixx US. As such, EP has

employed the use of several methods to build up a final fee charge to benchmark the arm’s

length nature of the transaction in this report. This section will assess and describe the methods

employed and the conclusion of appropriate fees.

The CPM evaluates whether the amount charged in a controlled transaction is arm’s length by

reference to a measure of profitability (a profit level indicator, or “PLI”) derived from

uncontrolled parties engaged in similar business activities under similar circumstances. For

example, the reported operating profit of a controlled tested party would be compared to the

operating profit it would have earned if its PLI were equal to that of the uncontrolled

comparable companies. The tested party should be the party to the transaction for which

reliable data on the most closely comparable transactions can be identified. It should also be the

party that is the least complex of those involved in the controlled transaction, and that does not

own valuable intangible property or unique assets.

Our application of the CPM to the executive management functions performed by Dorado

comprises the following five steps:

• Selection of the tested party for the analysis;

• Selection of the number of years for comparison;

• Choice of PLI;

• Selection of comparable companies; and,

• Determination of an arm’s length range of results, and comparison to the results of the

controlled transaction under review.

1. Selection of the Tested Party

The tested party should be the participant in the related transactions with the most reliable data,

requiring the fewest and most reliable adjustments, and for which reliable data regarding

uncontrolled comparable companies can be located. Thus, generally the tested party is the

party that is simplest in terms of functions performed and risks assumed. As Dorado is best

characterized as a provider of services to Zurixx US and doesn’t own “non-routine” assets, it is

best characterized as the tested party for this analysis.

2. Selection of Years for Comparison

When applying the CPM, it must be decided whether to compare the financial results of only

the tax year in question or to analyze several years (e.g., using an average over several years).

Multiple year analysis is the appropriate comparison when factors such as business or product

life cycles, foreign exchange risks, other business risk factors or other influences might have an

effect on the profitability of the comparable company financial results.

Generally, three years of data is used, unless the specific facts of the case warrant a longer

period. Therefore, we have obtained the financial results of comparable companies over a

three-year period corresponding to Zurixx fiscal years 2015-2017.

3. Selection of Profit Level Indicator

In this case, we determined that the operating margin (defined as operating income over net

revenue) provides the most reliable PLI to test the financial results of an entity that provides

routine functions, like executive management services. In light of these considerations, we have

selected the operating margin to evaluate the arm’s length nature of this transaction.

4. Selection of North American Comparable Companies

The CPM was applied to search for and identify North American companies that perform

similar executive management services. As part of the search process, Standard Poor’s Capital

IQ (“Capital IQ”)22 was examined for North American companies that are engaged in broadly

the same industry.

Capital IQ was screened to identify public companies using standard industrial classification

(“SIC”) codes. This system is structured on an industry basis and is used to promote the

comparability of data describing various industries in the economy. Major industry groups are

categorized under two-digit SIC codes. Extensions of these codes to three or four digits indicate

a narrower industry definition. The following wide range of SIC codes were searched in the

database to help identify the largest number of potentially comparable benchmark companies.23

• 73*: Business Services; and,

• 874*: Management and Public Relations services.

This search methodology identified 286,391 companies. Next, the initial set of 286,391

companies was filtered to include only actively operating companies in the United States and

Canada, which returned 54,824 companies. The next filter was applied to include only public

companies, identifying 1,480. Finally, a quantitative screen was applied to the remaining 1,480

companies. The quantitative screen led to the elimination of companies for reasons including:

• No revenue the last three years.

The quantitative screening led to the elimination of 736 companies, leaving 744 companies to be

reviewed qualitatively. For each of these companies, short business descriptions were reviewed,

leading to the elimination of companies for reasons including:

22 Capital IQ Disc Date: September 2018 23 SIC Codes with an asterisk reference all narrower SIC codes containing the previous digits

• The company performs significantly different functions than those of the tested party

(e.g., the company performs manufacturing); and,

• The company has a brand name or other intangibles associated.

The screening criteria led to the elimination of 737 companies, leaving 7 remaining comparable

companies.

Table 7: Operating Margin for North American Comparable Companies

6. Implementation

As shown in the table above, the three-year weighted average interquartile range of the

operating margin for comparable executive management companies extends from 5.3 percent to

12.9 percent with a median of 9.4 percent. As part of the determination of total applicable fees

charged to Zurixx US, Zurixx opted to use a 10.0 percent operating margin metric to calculate

applicable executive management fees. The applied operating margin of 10.0 percent is within

the arm’s length range of the identified comparable companies. The applied operating margin

of 10.0 percent resulted in an executive management fee of $1.34 million in FY2017. Details

regarding the executive management fee calculation can be found in Appendix D.

B. Registration Fees

Dorado employs local teams to generate sales leads through searches for potential buyers of

Zurixx training programs. Efforts to find sales leads takes place through advertised online

banners and physical mailings. The search process goes through several stages and ultimately

leads to a consumer registering for a Zurixx product. In many cases, it takes several thousand

contacts with a consumer to lead to a product registrant.

In the advertising industry, the cost to acquire customers through qualifying actions (i.e.,

registrations, subscriptions) is referred to as a Cost Per Action (“CPA”) metric. The CPA for any

given product varies by the difficulty of the target market and qualifying action required. This

metric is used to assess the success and cost of acquiring new customers as part of an

advertising campaign. We believe that Dorado performs sales and marketing services that

would be compensated under arrangements if it were to offer these services to external

customers.

1. Summary of Findings

a) Selected Method

The Comparable Uncontrolled Price (“CUP”) as described in the US Transfer Pricing

Regulations was applied to the registration fees of the tested transaction. The CUP method

evaluates the arm’s length price for the Cost Per Actions between Zurixx US and Dorado by

comparing it with the price paid for the same or similar CPA’s in an uncontrolled transaction

with or between unrelated parties.

b) Application of CUP

Employing the CUP methodology, EP benchmarked the covered transaction using a set of

external transactions. Economics Partners searched multiple databases and websites to identify

transactions that affix a cost for actionable items (i.e., registrations, subscriptions) in an

advertising campaign that is broadly similar to Dorado’s services in this transaction.

c) Arm’s Length Results

After performing an extensive search, EP found sufficiently comparable CPA metrics that

closely resembled that of Dorado. The various CPA metrics were then analyzed to create a

range of possible prices per registrants. Table Nine below lists the CPA sources as well as the

construction of pricing ranges.

Table 8: CPA Metrics for Comparable Sales and Marketing Services

a) Implementation

As shown in the table above, the interquartile range of CPA metrics for comparable sales and

marketing services extends from $22.10 to $86.45 per CPA with a median of $50.60. As part of

the determination of total applicable fees charged to Zurixx US, Zurixx selected the median

CPA metric to calculate applicable registration fees. The applied CPA of $50.60 resulted in a

total registration fee of $42.41 million in FY2017. In calculating the total built up applicable fees

to Zurixx US, Zurixx elected to use the range of possible registration fees to show a range of

charges that could be applied to Zurixx US. This presentation will be discussed in the final

buildup of applicable fees at the end of this section. Details regarding the calculation of

registration fees can be found in Appendix E.

C. Legal Fees

Dorado employs a small legal team to review workshops, events, online content and coaching

sessions that teach students how to invest in real estate and entrepreneurship opportunities.

The Dorado legal team reviews workshop transcripts and documents to protect Zurixx from

any legal action and to ensure legal compliance. The PR legal team also reviews telephone

transcripts from coaching sessions and the customer service teams. These legal fees are charged

to Zurixx US as a legal assessment fee.

transactions that publish legal rates for services that are broadly similar to Dorado’s legal

department in this transaction.

c) Arm’s Length Results

After performing an extensive search, EP found sufficiently comparable legal rates that

compensate and closely resemble the functions of Dorado. The various legal rates were then

analyzed to create a range of possible legal fee rates. Table 9en below lists the sources as well as

the range of legal rates.

d) Implementation

As shown in the table above, the interquartile range of legal rates for comparable legal services

extends from $79.75 per hour to $365.00 per hour with a median of $162.24. As part of the

determination of total applicable fees charged to Zurixx US, Zurixx selected the average

attorney legal rate to calculate applicable legal fees. The legal counsel employed at Dorado

holds a JD designation and regularly works on complex issues related to compliance, contracts

and legal defense. Due to the nature and complexity of the work involved, Zurixx felt it

appropriate to charge a rate that is commensurate with an attorney’s experience and expertise.

The applied rate of $357.50 resulted in a total legal fee of $.50 million in FY2017. Details

regarding this calculation can be found in Appendix F.

D. Workshop Recruitment Fees

Dorado employs a recruitment team to actively identify and recruit trained presenters for its

workshops, events and coaching sessions. The search process is comprehensive and requires a

great deal of effort to identify individuals with a unique combination of interpersonal and

business skills to successfully present and engage with students. Dorado functions as a

recruitment center where they contact and contract with qualified speakers for specified

engagements. The recruitment industry is typically compensated as a percentage of gross

earnings of the recruited individual. Zurixx charges a recruitment fee to Zurixx US for its

recruitment services.

for the industry. The recruitment rates identified define compensation rates as a percentage of

the gross annual salary of the recruited individual. Recruitment fees are assessed as a one-time

charge upon the successful hire of the job candidate. Table 10Eleven below lists the sources as

well as the range of recruitment rates.

Table 10: Recruitment Rates

d) Implementation

As shown in the table above, the interquartile range of recruitment rates for comparable

recruiting services extends from 22.0 percent to 25.3 percent with a median of 25.1 percent. As

part of the determination of total applicable fees charged to Zurixx US, Zurixx selected the

median recruitment rate to calculate applicable recruiter fees. The applied rate of 25.1 percent

resulted in a total recruitment fee of $1.26 million in FY2017. Details regarding this calculation

can be found in Appendix G.

E. Celebrity Management Fees

Dorado manages celebrity speakers for workshops, events and coaching sessions. Dorado is

responsible for managing the celebrity relationships, much like an agent does for athletes or a

musician, which demands a great deal of time and effort. Dorado is in frequent contact with the

signed celebrities and is responsible for addressing matters of compensation, contractual

obligations and how the celebrities’ brand is being used to market seminars. The celebrity

agency industry is typically compensated as a percentage of gross earnings of the celebrity in

question. Dorado charges a celebrity agent or management fee to Zurixx US for its services. In

addition, Zurixx US maintains a reserve for legal costs and sales declines in the event of

deteriorating celebrity image and relationships. Zurixx US is responsible for compensating

celebrity management fees regardless of the potential efficacy of the celebrity endorsements. To

that effect, Zurixx US manages considerable celebrity management risk.

1. Summary of Findings

a) Selected Method

The Comparable Uncontrolled Transaction (“CUT”) as described in the US Transfer Pricing

Regulations was applied to the recruitment fees of the tested transaction. The CUT method

evaluates the arm’s length rate for management fees between Zurixx US and Dorado by

comparing it with the rates paid for the same or similar agency services in uncontrolled

transactions with or between unrelated parties.

b) Application of CUT

Employing the CUT methodology, EP benchmarked the covered transaction using third-party

transactions. Economics Partners searched multiple databases and websites to identify

transactions that publish agency rates for services that are broadly similar to Dorado’s celebrity

management activities addressed in this transaction.

c) Arm’s Length Results

After performing an extensive search, EP found a sufficiently comparable agency rate that

compensates for celebrity management functions that Dorado performs. Within the performing

arts and celebrity industries, it is common for artists’ interests to be protected and represented

through workers unions or guilds. In particular, the Screen Actors Guild - American Federation

of Television and Radio Artists (“SAG-AFTRA”) was formed in the 1930’s to accomplish this

task. As part of its mission statement and membership, SAG-AFTRA established a celebrity

agency rate cap of 10.0 percent of gross proceeds to govern agents and management agencies.

The celebrities that Zurixx contracts with are performers and artists that would adhere to this

code to protect their interests.

d) Implementation

As part of the determination of total applicable fees charged to Zurixx US, Zurixx selected a 10.0

percent agency rate to calculate applicable management fees. The applied rate of 10.0 percent to

total celebrity income resulted in a total agent management fee of $.81 million in FY2017. Details

regarding this calculation can be found in Appendix H.

VII. Conclusion

A. Overview of Transaction

The intercompany transaction at issue in this report is the provision of certain sales and

executive management services from Dorado Marketing & Management, LLC Puerto Rico

(“Dorado”) to Zurixx, LLC (“Zurixx US”). During FY 2017, Dorado charged sales and executive

management services fees to Zurixx US in consideration of these services.

B. Summary of Findings

1. Executive Management Fees

As part of the determination of total applicable fees charged to Zurixx US, Zurixx opted to use a

10.0 percent operating margin metric to calculate applicable executive management fees. The

three-year weighted average interquartile range of the operating margin for comparable

executive management companies extends from 5.3 percent to 12.9 percent with a median of 9.4

percent. The applied operating margin of 10.0 percent is within the arm’s length range of the

identified comparable companies. The applied operating margin of 10.0 percent resulted in an

executive management fee of $1.34 million in FY2017. Details regarding the executive

management fee calculation can be found in Appendix D.

2. Registration Fees

As part of the determination of total applicable fees charged to Zurixx US, Zurixx selected the

median CPA metric to calculate applicable registration fees. The applied CPA of $50.60 resulted

in a total registration fee of $42.41 million in FY2017. Details regarding the calculation of

registration fees can be found in Appendix E.

3. Legal Fees

As part of the determination of total applicable fees charged to Zurixx US, Zurixx selected the

average attorney legal rate to calculate applicable legal fees. The applied rate of $350.00 resulted

in a total legal fee of $.50 million in FY2017. Details regarding this calculation can be found in

Appendix F.

4. Workshop Recruitment Fees

As part of the determination of total applicable fees charged to Zurixx US, Zurixx selected the

median recruitment rate to calculate applicable recruiter fees. The applied rate of 25.1 percent

resulted in a total recruitment fee of $1.26 million in FY2017. Details regarding this calculation

can be found in Appendix G.

5. Celebrity Management Fees

As part of the determination of total applicable fees charged to Zurixx US, Zurixx selected a 10.0

percent agency rate to calculate applicable management fees. The applied rate of 10.0 percent

resulted in a total agent management fee of $.81 million in FY2017. Details regarding this

calculation can be found in Appendix H.

6. Total Fees

The fees previously described all constitute applicable fees from Dorado to Zurixx US for the

provision of certain sales and executive management services. The methodologies employed

and rate have determined a total median charge of $46.32 million in FY2017. Using the range of

applicable registration fees, the range of total charges extends from $20.74 million to $76.37

million. Actual charges billed by Zurixx in FY2017 totaled $21.14 million. This result is below

the benchmarked fee calculation of $47.19 million and is considered arm’s-length. Details

regarding this calculation can be found in Appendix I.

Zurixx LLC Accounting Status Report “First Day” Accounting Issues

As noted earlier in this report, On Wednesday, October 2, 2019, the Monitor and his professionals visited the offices of Zurixx. The Monitor’s accounting professionals, Gil Miller and John Curtis from the firm of Rocky Mountain Advisory (“RMA”), were present that day and met with various individuals to gain an understanding of the various accounting and financial aspects of the business. This section of the Report will discuss, from an accounting prospective, the “First Day” (October 2-4) issues which were addressed.

a. Interview of the Chief Financial Officer. The Monitor and Gil Miller interviewed Matt Magistro (“Magistro”) within one hour of entering the Zurixx facility. Magistro has worked for Zurixx for seven years since its inception. He has a BS in accounting from Utah Valley University. Magistro reports directly to Jim Carlson, CEO of Zurixx (“Carlson”). Magistro indicated that Zurixx spends approximately $2 million per week in operating cash, which we confirmed. He further indicated that the primary bank accounts used by Zurixx are Bank of America and Chase Bank and that there are numerous merchant accounts (to take in credit card receipts) that “point” to these Zurixx bank accounts. Magistro said that approximately $2 million per week in customer sales come in through the various merchant accounts and that the company is basically breaking even at its current levels of receipt and expense activity, which we also confirmed. Many of the merchant account vendors also maintain significant cash reserve balances to protect them against Zurixx customer chargebacks. A complete listing of Zurixx bank accounts, corporate defendant bank accounts and other and merchant accounts, as well as their estimated current cash and reserve balances, is included as Exhibit A1.1 Magistro further explained that Zurixx maintains operations in Puerto Rico, using the name Dorado Marketing & Management, LLC (“Dorado”), formerly known as Zurixx, LLC (a Puerto Rico entity). Magistro said, and RMA has confirmed, that Dorado uses First Bank as its financial institution in Puerto Rico. He also

1 On October 3, Zurixx was informed that one of their financial institutions, Chase Bank, had frozen the Zurixx accounts. Nearly two-thirds of Zurixx’s cash was frozen (approximately $3 million), which left Zurixx with very low cash reserves to pay continuing operating expenses. The Chase accounts remained frozen for nearly a week until the FTC and Monitor’s staff were able to convince the bank that the Order did not freeze any bank accounts.

Case 2:19-cv-00713-DAK-EJF Document 71-2 Filed 12/13/19 Page 2 of 17

indicated that there are approximately 20-30 employees of Dorado, including Carlson and Cris Cannon (“Cannon”), both who reside in Puerto Rico a majority of the time. According to Magistro, Dorado invoices Zurixx for its services, which primarily includes event management and marketing. A more detailed discussion of the services provided by Dorado is included below in the “Operational Issues” section of this report. Magistro explained that Squire & Company performs the audit of Zurixx, which is a consolidated audit that includes the operations of both Zurixx and Dorado. Dorado also has an independent audit performed by LLM&D, PSC. Kamdar & Co. prepare the tax returns for Zurixx and U.S. affiliates, while LLM&D prepares the tax returns for Dorado. Magistro explained that Carlson was the CEO of Zurixx, Cannon was over sales and Jeff Spangler (“Spangler”) over operations. Magistro explained the basic ownership percentages of the owners, which is explained elsewhere in this report in greater detail. An organizational chart of the business was later provided by Zurixx (see Exhibit A2). According to Magistro, the three owners are paid annual salaries of $250,000. The salaries of Carlson and Cannon are paid by Dorado, while the salary of Spangler is paid by Zurixx. Since the appointment of the Monitor, no salary payments have been made to these defendants. All three owners are paid owner distributions by Dorado. Magistro said that during good years, total distributions were in the $10-15 million range and that during bad years in the $5-7 million range. Since meeting with Magistro, RMA has prepared a summary of owner distributions from 2014-2018. Total distributions range from a low of $6.2 million in 2017 to a high of $31.5 million in 2015 (Exhibit A3). As discussed in greater detail below in the Personnel section of this report, Magistro said that Zurixx has both W2 employees and contract laborers (together, “Payroll”). Magistro stated that contract laborers make up about 80% of the Payroll.

b. Interview of the Controller. John Curtis from RMA met separately with Denise Easter (“Easter”), the financial controller of Zurixx and subsidiaries. Easter provided information about the accounting system, which is maintained in Microsoft Dynamics Great Plains 2015. Easter allowed RMA to see her computer, access and review her files and obtain information contained therein. Easter provided substantial data, files and other financial information from her computer and the Zurixx network. Files obtained from Ms. Easter included financial statement audit files, Payroll reports and files, sales reports, weekly financial packages, deposits reports, commission templates, commission rates

Case 2:19-cv-00713-DAK-EJF Document 71-2 Filed 12/13/19 Page 3 of 17

and current trial balance information. Zurixx’s controller and CFO have provided anything requested and been willing to assist with generating reports and data exports to assist with RMA’s analysis of Zurixx’s operations and financial transactions.

Easter provided information on the Payroll process, which is paid on a weekly basis to Zurixx’s employees and vendors or subcontractors, which are 1099 contractors rather than W2 employees. The Payroll historically has been around $450,000 per week.2 Zurixx has historically had 80 – 90 employees with around 300 subcontractors. Historically, the Puerto Rico office’s Payroll was around $20,000.

Easter confirmed that Zurixx’s financial statement audit is conducted by Squire & Company, PC. The audited consolidated financial statements of Zurixx also include Brand Management Holdings, LLC (“Brand Management”), which has the same ownership structure as Zurixx.3 The consolidated financial statements also include the financial statements of Dorado, which was originally organized in 2014 as Zurixx, LLC Puerto Rico.4 As noted, Dorado is audited by LLM&D, PSC, an accounting firm in Puerto Rico.

c. Download of General Ledger. After meeting with the financial controller, John Curtis met with Magistro to review in detail the accounting reports, data and files available from him and to review Zurixx’s operations and processes.

In addition to providing various files and data requested, Magistro exported the entire general ledger from August 2012 to September 2019, and provided the data to RMA. Magistro also provided information about the various general ledger accounts, revenue codes and abbreviations and other aspects of the data. This data has allowed RMA to analyze sales and transactions, historical trends and patterns.

d. Additional Financial Information Obtained. Magistro also provided a variety of reports, including weekly financial packages and versions of financial statement providing greater detail and breakdown of revenue and expenses. He also provided the detail of all Payroll transactions for W2 employees and 1099 contractors going back to 2012, with explanations of the same.

2 That figure has dropped considerably to between $250,000 and $300,000 per week as Zurixx has reduced its workforce in light of working under a new model attempting to comply with the temporary restraining order. 3 Zurixx, LLC and Consolidated Entities, Consolidated Financial Statements, Years Ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, at page 7. 4 Id.

Case 2:19-cv-00713-DAK-EJF Document 71-2 Filed 12/13/19 Page 4 of 17

Magistro also provided detailed information on RE Cash Source, LLC (“RE Cash”), an entity under Zurixx Financial, LLC, that provided real estate lending to various customers over the years. RE Cash currently has accounts receivable outstanding of approximately $1.4 million and associated liabilities of approximately $750,000 to investors. RE Cash also has a bank account at Chase bank with a balance of approximately $295,000.

e. Electronic Access to Bank Accounts. Magistro provided RMA with electronic access to the bank accounts of Zurixx and corporate defendants. In total, RMA obtained access to 19 accounts in the names of Zurixx, Brand Management, Richardson Law Group, Global Learning Alliance, RE Cash, CJ Seminar Holdings, Carlson Development Group and Zurixx Finanial. These accounts are held at Chase, First Bank of Puerto Rico and Bank of America.

Given the Monitor’s charge regarding monitoring the transactions of the defendants, as described further below, RMA has reviewed and tracked the daily account activity of the above bank accounts to determine trends that may require urgent action to preserve the assets of Zurixx.

f. Payroll. In consultations with the Monitor, CFO and Controller, certain procedures were immediately deployed to monitor and approve the Payroll process. Zurixx and Dorado pay weekly Payrolls, which needed to be approved within 24 hours of the Monitor gaining access to the facility. Overall, total weekly Payroll for both Zurixx and Dorado at this time was approximately $500,000.

RMA worked with the finance department of Zurixx to prepare a listing of persons receiving Payroll, including each employee’s department and area of involvement. On Thursday, October 3, the Monitor, RMA and members of the Zurixx finance department went through every name on the Payroll schedule to better understand their duties, compensation structure, and whether the person was a W2 employee or contract laborer. The Monitor was also able to confirm that no payroll was being paid to any of the three owners, as expressly prohibited in the Order. Payroll was subsequently approved to be paid by the Monitor. It was determined that future Payroll would be reviewed first by RMA and then the Monitor for final approval. An example Payroll report is included as Exhibit A4.

g. Credit Card Spend. It was quickly determined that a significant amount of operational expenditures were being made on credit cards, primarily American Express (“AMEX”) cards. RMA was told by the finance department that

Case 2:19-cv-00713-DAK-EJF Document 71-2 Filed 12/13/19 Page 5 of 17

approximately $500,000-$850,000 per week in total was charged by approximately 35 different cardholders. The practice by Zurixx was to make multiple payoffs every week of the AMEX account to insure credit limits were not exceeded. At the time of the Monitor’s appointment, the AMEX balance had nearly reached its credit limit and an immediate paydown was necessary to maintain operations. This was in large part to Zurixx’s largest event in San Mateo followed closely by another significant event in Las Vegas. AMEX spend has declined considerably since these events and also as a result of significant reductions in employees, expenses and operational changes.

RMA and the Monitor established a procedure to review charges made on credit cards and then authorize payment. Due to the frozen Chase bank accounts noted above, only a partial paydown during the Day 1 period was possible using funds in the unfrozen Bank of America accounts. While the balance on the AMEX account was over $800,000 when the Monitor was appointed, a paydown of $200,000 was authorized by the Monitor on October 3. The AMEX crisis was averted when Chase unfroze the Zurixx bank accounts later the next week. Since then, RMA has reviewed all credit card charges and the Monitor has approved payment.5

h. Accounts Payable. During the Day 1 period, a process was put in place for the Monitor to review and approve all cash disbursements related to accounts payable (obligations other than payroll and credit cards). At the request of the Monitor and RMA, Zurixx provides a weekly summary of all accounts payable by vendor and management’s recommendation as to who and how much to pay. The Monitor has taken strict precautions to make sure no entity owned or controlled by the owners are paid.

An example accounts payable summary schedule is included as Exhibit A5. Not only does it show the payables to be paid that week, but also the approximate bank account book balances after such payments are made.

i. Refunds and Chargebacks. Magistro explained that the typical refund rate was approximately 15% of sales. He further explained that the chargeback rate, or the rate in which a merchant account “charges back” Zurixx for customer disputes, is 1.03%. We requested data from Magistro to determine the accuracy

5 After the initial cash management crisis was over, the Monitor instigated credit card approval procedures that require Zurixx to prepare a weekly budget for credit card charges. If the weekly budget is approved, payment can be made for the budgeted amount or less, once RMA has reviewed the actual charges.

Case 2:19-cv-00713-DAK-EJF Document 71-2 Filed 12/13/19 Page 6 of 17

of the refund and chargeback rate. Data from August 2016 to September 2019 was provided, showing a refund rate of 16.2% and chargebacks of .6%.

j. Merchant Accounts. On Day 1 it became apparent that several merchant accounts had received the Order and several became concerned as a result. One merchant account stopped sending collected funds to the Zurixx operating accounts. Another merchant account reached out to the Monitor’s office with questions and expressions of concern. As a result, the Zurixx financial department began an internal process to route sales through merchant accounts that were considered less risky. At present, we understand that only one merchant bank is releasing deposits to Zurixx. Should that merchant bank stop releasing funds, Zurixx will likely be unable to continue operating. As discussed below in the “Financial Monitoring” section of this report, daily monitoring of merchant reserve accounts is ongoing.

k. Computer and Server Imaging. During much of Day 1, the FTC computer specialists spent significant time imaging many of the standalone computers at the Zurixx facility and server contents located remotely. An effort was made to image the computers of the finance department first since having those computers non-functional for a significant period of time would have made the day-to-day financial business of Zurixx difficult to manage. Except when their personal computer was being imaged, finance department employees were allowed to continue to use their computers to make sure business operations from an accounting point of view were not interrupted.

Ongoing Financial Monitoring

a. Daily Financial Summary Report. After the initial Day 1 financial interviews were complete and certain procedures put in place, RMA created a Daily Financial Summary Report to aid the Monitor in his efforts (See Exhibit A6). The Daily Financial Summary Report shows, both on a daily and historical basis, the following information:

1. Cash Flow: Total cash deposits and cash disbursements from the various bank accounts being monitored.

2. Refunds: Credit card and check refunds issued. 3. Bank Account Ending Balances: For each monitored entity, the ending

bank balances as shown online with the financial institutions. 4. Merchant Reserve Account Balances: The ending daily balance of cash

reserves being withheld by the 12 merchant accounts.

Case 2:19-cv-00713-DAK-EJF Document 71-2 Filed 12/13/19 Page 7 of 17

As of October 29, the bank account balances available for use by Zurixx and Dorado total $2,862,217, while the merchant account reserve balances total $4,519,191.

b. Credit Card Usage. Recently, a new monitor policy was established for credit

card usage. On a weekly basis the Monitor is to receive a budget for the next week’s credit card usage (See Exhibit A7). RMA and the Monitor then review the budget for reasonableness and compare the budget to the actual requests for credit card funding to determine if spending is in accordance with approved budgeted amounts. Discrepancies, if any, are discussed and resolved. As of the date of this report, Zurixx has provided one credit card budget to the monitor to facilitate one payment on credit cards.

c. Refunds. On a regular basis, the Monitor is asked to approve refunds being requested by Zurixx customers. The Monitor believes the TRO authorizes him to approve reasonable payments to fulfill contractual obligations to third parties. As such, each refund is fact specific and the Monitor has approved and denied refunds depending on the facts of the situation. Since the date of the Order, the refund rate has increased.

d. Changes to Company Operating Procedures. In mid-October, Zurixx

management determined that certain cost cutting measures should be employed as a result of potential reductions in company revenue. In addition to negotiating with certain vendors to reduce overhead, management reduced staff headcount at both Zurixx and Dorado. According to management’s summary, W2 employee headcount reductions equate to an approximate weekly cost savings of $47,000, representing a 47% Zurixx payroll cost reduction and 52% Dorado payroll cost reduction. See Exhibit A8 for management’s payroll summary highlighting this downsizing. In addition to the measures taken above, On October 23 Zurixx informed the Monitor that it had implemented a new compliance and pricing model (See Exhibit A9). Due to the model being only recently enacted, it is difficult to ascertain how these model changes, along with its inherent assumptions, will affect the ongoing operations of Zurixx.

Personnel As of October 2, there were approximately 100 Zurixx W2 employees and 20 Dorado W2 employees. There are, however, several hundred contract laborers paid by Zurixx over the course of a normal calendar year. The first weekly payroll approved by the Monitor was over $500,000, and included W2 wages paid to Zurixx and Dorado employees as well as contract labor payments.

Case 2:19-cv-00713-DAK-EJF Document 71-2 Filed 12/13/19 Page 8 of 17

a. W2 Employees. As mentioned above, there were approximately 120 W2 employees of both Zurixx and Dorado as of October 2. With the headcount reductions noted above, that number has dropped to approximately 85.

Zurixx employees primarily work at the Zurixx facility in Utah. In addition to telemarketers, there are customer support and company administration personnel. Telemarketers are generally paid on a commission basis (typically 20% of sales), while customer service and administration personnel are generally either paid a salary plus annual bonus or an hourly rate. During 2018, according to Zurixx’s Form W3, $10,303,193 in W2 wages were paid to its 108 employees.

There are presently less than ten W2 employees at Dorado. All of these employees are paid on a salary or hourly rate basis. The Dorado employees oversee the event management and marketing.

b. 1099 Contract Laborers. A significant part of the Zurixx team includes contract laborers who perform services for Zurixx, primarily related to the sale of their products. In 2018, the Zurixx Form 1096, which reports the total amounts paid to contract labors to the IRS, showed 183 contract laborers were paid $13,472,113. On a recent payroll report, Zurixx reported 1099 wages being paid to approximately 100 entities or individuals.

Attached as Exhibit A10 is a summary of employee and contract labor payments from the inception of Zurixx to October 2019, sorted by total amount paid. The report shows $61.6 million paid to employees and $97 million paid to contract laborers during this time period.

c. Owners Compensation and Distributions. As noted earlier, each of the three Zurixx owners current compensation level is $250,000 annually. Two of the three owners (Cannon and Carlson) are paid by Dorado while one owner (Spangler) is paid by Zurixx. All three owners receive periodic owner distributions from Dorado. A summary of owner distributions by year is included as Exhibit A3. Since 2014, owner distributions total $78.4 million. Dorado funds these distributions as a result of the invoices for services it provides to Zurixx. A more detailed discussion of the services provided by Dorado is included below in the “Operational Issues” section of this report.

Company Financial Statements and Tax Returns

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Zurixx, LLC and Dorado Marketing and Management LLC. The consolidated financial statements are audited by Squire, a Utah based accounting firm. In the audit report, Squire notes that it does not conduct the audit of Dorado and relies on its audit conducted by other auditors.

Case 2:19-cv-00713-DAK-EJF Document 71-2 Filed 12/13/19 Page 9 of 17

Zurixx includes the combined financial statements of Brand Management. Brand Management has the same ownership structure as Zurixx. According to notes in the financial statements, Brand Management was created “to help mitigate and minimize the risk from the different brands Zurixx contracts with to present potential brand image issues affecting other brands.” Dorado is engaged in “expert services associated to advertising and public relations; consulting centralized management services; and educational and training services.”

Exhibit A11 summarizes the income statements of Zurixx and Consolidated Entities from 2014 through 2018. Zurixx’s revenue has fluctuated dramatically from $54.2 million to $167.3 million in 2016. Magistro indicated that this fluctuation is largely caused by the fluctuation in the fame and notoriety of the celebrities utilized by Zurixx to promote its programs, most notably Tarek and Christina El Moussa. This is most evident in 2016, when Zurixx’s revenue increased to $167.3 million from $85.3 million the year before.

Zurixx’s consolidated net income ranged from a loss of $4.0 million in 2014 to net income of $45.8 million in 2016. Zurixx had positive net income from 2015 through 2018, most of which was reported under Dorado. Zurixx reported positive operating cash flow in every year from 2014 to 2018, ranging from $8.7 million to $35.0 million. This positive cash flow allowed Zurixx to make over $78.4 million in distributions to its owners, all of which was paid out of Dorado after 2014. Dorado distributed $67.2 million and Zurixx distributed $11.3 million. We understand the reason for the transfer of revenue and distributions to Dorado and Puerto Rico was based on favorable tax treatment.

Zurixx’s balance sheet as of December 31, 2018, reported a members’ deficit of $12.3 million, based on assets of $20.7 million and liabilities of $33.0 million. The vast majority of Zurixx’s debts were deferred revenue, related to collecting fees from customers with unfulfilled obligations to provide future services. As of December 31, 2018, Zurixx’s deferred revenue was $22.1 million. Reserves for refunds and chargebacks were $6.6 million and loss contingency was $2.3 million. Zurixx’s debts to vendors and financial institutions were very small, relative to its other liabilities.

Zurixx’s reported assets with monetizable value were comprised of its cash balance, fixed assets and restricted cash, which are reserves held by merchant banks. As of December 31, 2018, Zurixx reported cash of $4.7 million, restricted cash of $4.3 million and fixed assets, net of depreciation, of $609,000. Since October 2, 2019, cash has dropped from $4.8 million to $2.8 million on October 29, 2019. Merchant reserves have remained relatively steady at around $4.5 million. Zurixx’s cash flow was dropping precipitously in early October but has begun to stabilize as Zurixx has reduced overhead and operating expenses. Exhibit 12A contains the 2018 Zurixx audited financial statements.

Case 2:19-cv-00713-DAK-EJF Document 71-2 Filed 12/13/19 Page 10 of 17

RMA has seen the tax returns for calendar years 2017 and 2018. Zurixx prepares and files three tax returns, one for Zurixx, LLC, one for Brand Management Holding, LLC, and one for Dorado Marketing & Management LLC. The 2018 tax returns were prepared in August and September of 2019.

a. Zurixx, LLC. The 2018 Form 1065 for Zurixx, LLC reports ordinary business income of $1,641,208. This income is passed through to the owners of Zurixx, LLC on Forms K1. For tax purposes, the Zurixx, LLC income is passed through to the following partners: Zurixx Financial, LLC (38.461%) and C J Seminar, LLC (61.539%).

b. Brand Management Holding, LLC. The 2018 Form 1065 for Brand Management Holding, LLC reports ordinary business income of $2,384,415. This income is passed through to the owners of Brand Management Holding LLC on Forms K1. For tax purposes, the Brand Management Holding, LLC income is passed through to the following partners: Zurixx Financial, LLC (38.461%) and C J Seminar, LLC (61.539%).

c. Dorado Marketing and Management LLC. While Dorado is a limited liability company, it is taxed as a C Corp in Puerto Rico. In 2018, Dorado reports net operating income of $13,268,212. This income is taxed at a very low rate (4%) compared to a top U.S. C Corp rate (21%). The 2018 tax payable is $530,728, which appears to have been paid throughout 2018 with estimated payments. It does not appear that any additional 2018 tax is payable at this time. However, there will likely be tax owing for the 2019 calendar year.

Financial Disclosures

As required by the Order, Zurixx and its owners have each provided financial disclosures to the FTC and Monitor. This section contains a summary of the financial aspects of those disclosures.

a. Jim Carlson. Carlson self-reports $7.4 million in assets and no liabilities (See Exhibit A13). He reports monthly expenses totaling $24,953, primarily made up of storage fees, property taxes, vehicle leases, food, clothing, utilities, insurance, transportation, HOA dues and home maintenance.

Carlson’s assets are made up of the following items according to the disclosure:

Case 2:19-cv-00713-DAK-EJF Document 71-2 Filed 12/13/19 Page 11 of 17

Carlson’s publicly traded securities are held in a Merrill Lynch account. Carlson’s non-public business and financial interests include a 10% interest in Cache LLC and 5,000 shares in an entity known as Work Hard Play Hard Train Hard, a Delaware corporation. Carlson’s deferred income arrangement is James Carlson IRA.

Carson reports that all tax payments are up to date.

b. Cris Cannon. Cannon self-reports $5.6 million in assets and $5.4 million in liabilities (See Exhibit A14). Cannon reports monthly expenses totaling just over $71,000, primarily made up of mortgage expense, property taxes, car lease, food, clothing, utilities, medical and insurance, parent’s rent, child support and alimony.

Cannon’s assets are made up of the following items according to the disclosure:

Seminar Holdings, a 25% interest in Caballo Grande, and 5000 membership units in an entity known as Work Hard Play Hard Train Hard, a Delaware corporation. Cannon assigns no value to these non-public business and financial assets.

Cannon reports a surrender value of a Lincoln National Life insurance policy valued at $49,645.He further reports five vehicles with an estimated value of $396,000 and other personal property totaling $196,350, made up of art work, watches and furniture.

Cannon reports two trusts in his disclosure, The Christopher A & Jennifer L. Cannon Family Charitable Trust and The Cannon Nevada Trust. It is not clear why Cannon elects to report one Cannon Nevada Trust asset on his schedule of assets (life insurance surrender value), while not reporting the real property asset in that trust nor the “Sundance property” value of the charitable trust.

Although Cannon reports value of $1.2 million in one real property asset, he indicates three separate property mortgages as liabilities. The real property asset he values at $1.2 million has a current mortgage of $950,000. Two other real properties are reported as being owned by an ex-spouse and The Cannon Nevada Trust. Cannon reports an estimated values of $1.1 million for the Trust home, with debt of $583,555. He further reports no value for the ex-spouse home and associated debt of $1.5 million.

c. Jeff Spangler. Spangler self-reports $6 million in assets and $323,000 in liabilities (See Exhibit A15). Spangler reports monthly expenses totaling just over $16,000, primarily made up of property taxes, rental property expenses, food, clothing, utilities, medical and insurance, other transportation, kid’s sports, and country club dues.

Spangler’s assets are made up of the following items according to the disclosure:

Case 2:19-cv-00713-DAK-EJF Document 71-2 Filed 12/13/19 Page 13 of 17

Cannon’s liabilities are made up of the following items according to the disclosure:

Spangler’s publicly traded securities are held in broker accounts at Brinker Capital, Fidelity Investments, and Northwestern Mutual. Spangler’s non-public business and financial interests include a 50% interest in R&J St. George Vacations, LLC, a 50% interest in J&R real Estate, LLC, a 33.33% interest in DCS Investments, LLC, a 5.2755% interest in Ecoloop Energy, Inc, a 5% interest in Walkerhaven Equities LP, a 10% interest in Harmony LLC, a 10% interst in Crypto Technologies LLC, and a 79% interest in Commerce Ridge LLC. Spangler assigns no value to these non-public business and financial assets.

Spangler reports a current loan receivable with Macey Jepson in the amount of $490,600. Jepson is reported as a daughter’s friend. The note originated in December 2018 in the amount of $600,000.

Spangler reports four life insurance policies as having surrender values totaling $676,085. He further reports deferred income arrangements of two IRAs and one variable annuity with values totaling $825,409. Spangler also reports four vehicles with total value of $137,250, personal property of a ring and watch totaling $22,579 and three pieces of real property with total value of $620,000. Two of the real properties are located in Mexico and the third in Texas. One Mexico property has associated debt of $261,913, one Mexico property has no debt, and the Texas property has debt of $53,422.

Not included in the assets noted above are assets held in the JSS Trust valued at approximately $5.3 million.6 The JSS Trust assets consist primarily of ownership interests held in a variety of private entities, several note receivables, cash, and a residence located at 13502 S Tuscalee Way.

The Monitor’s professionals have not had access to the books and records of the owners to determine how Zurixx owner salaries and distributions of over $80 million from 2014-2018 were spent or invested.

d. Zurixx. The Monitor’s professionals received one corporate defendant financial disclosure for Zurixx. It appears to cover the consolidated entities that are controlled and managed by Zurixx. While the disclosure may be more detailed for certain aspects of financial disclosure, the audited financial statements discussed above are more useful in determining the financial picture of this

6 Spangler also reports trusts in the names of two law firms, Venable and Kirton McConkie, each established on October 8, 2019, and each in the amount of $300,000.

corporate defendant. As such, we have attached the disclosure but will not discuss it in more detail in this section of the report (See Exhibit A16).

It should be noted that the Monitor’s professionals are not aware of financial disclosures being produced by the other three corporate defendants: Carlson Development Group, LLC, CJ Seminar Holdings, LLC, and Zurixx Financial, LLC.

Operational Issues

This section of the report will discuss a variety of financial issues as it relates to Zurixx operations. The intent is not to give a complete overview of Zurixx operations, but to report on financial aspects of the operation that may not be covered in other areas of the report.

a. Summary of U.S./Puerto Rico Financial Oversight. Both the U.S entity Zurixx and the Puerto Rico (“PR”) entity Dorado use the same accounting staff for their day-to-day operations and reporting. This staff resides in the Utah office and consists of the CFO, controller, and other staff members. The CFO generally takes direction from the CEO, Carlson, with input from other owners as well. All payroll, payables, and other obligations of Zurixx and Dorado are accounted for, booked and paid by U.S. personnel. The Utah staff also has visibility into the bank accounts of Zurixx, Dorado and their affiliates. As mentioned earlier, the audited financial statements of Zurixx are presented in a consolidated fashion, which includes the financial activity of Dorado and other affiliated entities.

b. Brand Management. As described elsewhere in this report, there are various Brand Management entities that have been used by Zurixx in an effort to help mitigate and minimize the risk from the different brands Zurixx contracts with to present potential brand image issues affecting other brands. All accounting functions of the Brand Management entities are done by the same Zurixx personnel in the Utah office.

c. Sales by Type of Revenue. Customer revenues are generated at the Zurixx

level. The vast majority of customer revenue is received by credit card payments. Zurixx has several different types of customer revenue programs. The table below illustrates the general revenue types and historical amounts.

Case 2:19-cv-00713-DAK-EJF Document 71-2 Filed 12/13/19 Page 15 of 17

As shown above, Real Estate programs have consistently been Zurixx’s highest revenue type. Entrepreneurship programs have increased since 2015 to make up nearly 46% of Zurixx’s revenue in 2019.

d. Dorado Services and Transfer Pricing. As discussed earlier, Dorado invoices Zurixx for a variety of services. In 2018, Dorado invoices totaling $26.3 million were paid by Zurixx. These services included legal services ($525,000), headhunter recruitment ($1.255 million), celebrity management fees ($700,325), executive management fees ($549,991), and registration fees ($23,268,553).

Because Dorado is a foreign affiliate of Zurixx and taxed at a much lower rate, the IRS can scrutinize the amounts paid to foreign affiliates to make sure the invoiced services are reasonable and customary. The pricing of services between a U.S. entity and its foreign affiliate is referred to as transfer pricing. Magistro provided a detailed explanation of the transfer pricing model, explained the methodology, and provided the most recent transfer pricing study (see Exhibit A17) and calculations that support the accounting entries. Magistro was very clear that Zurixx and Dorado operate as one entity under common control and ownership.

It is clear that the vast majority of invoiced services from Dorado relate to registration fees. According to Magistro, the transfer pricing model allows Dorado to charge Zurixx an amount between $25 and $85 per customer registrations for paid events. According to Zurixx, Dorado provides the event management and marketing for the Zurixx customer events. That said, it appears that the annual payments to Dorado for registration fees are very dependent on the net income level of Zurixx. Magistro explained that Zurixx attempts to manage its net income to be between zero and five percent of revenue.

The primary mechanism to reach that net income goal is the fluctuating amount charged by Dorado to Zurixx for its registration per customer fee. To reduce Zurixx net income, the Dorado registration fee per customer can increase. According to Magistro, as long as the registration fee is in the acceptable range established by the transfer pricing model (prepared by outside professionals), it can fluctuate as needed.

the registration fee range to be acceptable is only known should they chose to audit and review the transfer pricing policies of Zurixx.

As noted earlier, all owner distributions and two owner salaries are paid by Dorado. Dorado’s only source of income is Zurixx. Below is a summary of amounts paid by Zurixx to Dorado by year.

Year Paid to Dorado

2015 $45,960,554 2016 $45,246,609 2017 $21,141,609 2018 $26,298,869

As a going concern, Zurixx has historically been able to successfully compensate its employees, contract laborers and owners, as well as pay its other ongoing costs of operation. Prior to the Order, both the financial data and management discussion suggest that 2019 was not going to be a banner year. Year to date owner distributions are down significantly from prior years. Immediately after the Order, sales staff were uncertain as to how to proceed in terms of their sales scripts. While Zurixx has attempted to change certain policies and practices, it is unclear as to whether those changes will be successful or acceptable under the Order. As noted above, Zurixx’s cash balances have been declining since the Order. All but one Merchant processor has declined to release credit card deposits to Zurixx. The financial condition of Zurixx is precarious and could disintegrate rapidly under a variety of scenarios.

Notes and Assumptions

Pricing has been changed at the preview events.

Real estate education product is sold at $300, which has increased sales with the new compliant script much beyond those of our prior sales.

Assumptions for workshop sales has been reduced from 50% Sales Per Head from prior to new pricing. We actually expect this to be higher.

Telesales have also been reduced by 50%, although the experience of the past week with the new compliant pitch is that our sales per buyer have actually increased.

S~IRE HIGHER PERSPECTIVE

To the Members of Zurixx, LLC and Consolidated Entities

Report on Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying financial statements ofZurixx, LLC and Consolidated Entities, which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related consolidated statements of income, members' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of Dorado Marketing and Management LLC, an entity consolidated under Financial Accounting Standards Board ASC 810, whose statements reflect total assets constituting 26% and 40% of consolidated total assets at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and total revenues constituting 0%, after eliminations, of consolidated total revenues for each of the years then ended. Those statements were audited by other auditors, whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Dorado Marketing and Management LLC, is based solely on the report of the other auditors. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of the other auditors, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Zurixx, LLC and Consolidated Entities as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Report on Supplementary Information

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the consolidated financial statements as a whole. The consolidating supplementary information is presented for purposes of additional analysis of the consolidated financial statements rather than to present the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the individual companies, and it is not a required part of the consolidated financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the consolidated financial statements. The consolidating information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the consolidated financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the consolidated financial statements or to the consolidated financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, which insofar as it relates to Dorado Marketing and Management LLC is based on the report of other auditors, the consolidating information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated financial statements as a whole.

ZURIXX, LLC AND CONSOLIDATED ENTITIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Deferred Costs - Deferred costs consist of expenses incurred relating to deferred revenue and will be expensed when the related revenue is recognized.

Use ofEstimates -The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances in making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Depreciation - Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is determined using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of individual assets. The useful life used for computing depreciation for asset classes is described below:

Leasehold improvements Furniture and fixtures Office and computer equipment Software

3-10 years 5-7 years 3-5 years

3 years

Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, was $284,814 and $372,439, respectively. Maintenance and repairs are expensed when incurred, and betterments which extend the economic useful life of an asset are capitalized. Gains and losses on the disposal of fixed assets are reflected in operations.

Revenue Recognition - Revenues are recognized when access to resources are provided to customers and when the services are provided to the customer. If the customer does not attend the scheduled event, revenue is recognized in accordance with the sales contract within 30 days of when the services were scheduled to be provided. The Company sells packages that include separate elements. Revenue is allocated to the separate elements based on their relative fair values. The fair value of an undelivered element is based on the sales price of the item on a standalone basis. If an undelivered element exists, its proportionate fair value is subtracted from the total consideration under the arrangement and recorded as deferred revenue. Revenues are derived from the sale of workshops, one­on-one consulting, coaching, and other educational products. Revenue from workshops are recognized upon completion of the workshop or within 30 days of when the workshop was scheduled. Consulting services and coaching are recognized after the services and coaching are provided or within 30 days of when the services were scheduled to be provided. Revenue from the other educational products are recognized once the products have been provided to the customers.

ZURIXX, LLC AND CONSOLIDATED ENTITIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

As of January I, 2019, the Company is required to adopt the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "F ASB") Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). Under the update, revenue will be recognized based on a five-step model. The core principle of the model is that revenue will be recognized when the transfer of promised goods or services to customers is made in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company currently plans to use the modified retrospective method which requires that the Company not adjust historical reported revenue amounts. The Company is evaluating the effect of this new standard but does not expect it to have a material impact on the revenue recognition process of the Company.

Reserve for Refunds or Chargebacks - In the normal course of business, the Company records a reserve obligation for estimated refunds and chargebacks. The reserve amounts at December 31, 2018 and 2017, were $6,607,648 and $7,067,290, respectively, and are estimates made by management based upon historical trends of actual refunds and chargebacks.

Deferred Rents - The Company evaluates each property lease, including escalation clauses rent holidays, and renewal options, to determine whether a straight-line adjustment to rent expense is required. The difference between the straight-line rent expense and the amount paid in cash for rent is recorded to deferred rents on the consolidated balance sheet.

Income Taxes -The members of Zurixx and BMH are taxed on their proportionate share of the individual entity's income. Therefore, no provision or liability for income taxes related to income taxes for Zurixx and BMH is included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Zurixx and BMH file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions and are no longer subject to U.S. federal or state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2015.

In accordance with accounting standards, the Company repmis a liability for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in other expense in the statement of operations. The Company has not recognized any tax benefits from unce1iain tax positions.

Because of Dorado Marketing and Management LLC's tax status as a C Corporation (see Note 11 ), income tax is accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in expected tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Commitments and Contingencies

Accrued Loss Contingency - During the year ended December 31, 2014, a third party sold homes at the Company's workshops to the Company's students. The Company has discovered that many of these homes did not have clear title, and certain representations made by the third party also were not true. Because the homes were sold at the Company's workshops, the Company has decided to refund a portion of the sales price to students if refunds are requested by students. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, management has estimated that the Company will pay $2,276,639 in refunds, this amount has been recorded as accrued loss contingency on the balance sheet.

In addition, the Company has accrued $224,000 at December 31, 2017, for settlements reached with customers for disputes relating to services provided to the customers. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the balance was paid in full.

Note 11. Income Tax - Puerto Rico

Dorado Marketing and Management LLC operates for tax purposes as a C corporation. The maximum tax rate for a C corporation is 39% under the laws of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, but on January 30, 2015, the Company received a grant from the Depmtment of Economic Development and Commerce in order to operate with a tax exemption under the Act No. 20 of January 17, 2012, as amended ("the Act"). The Act provides for certain tax benefits for local companies that provide eligible service activities outside of Puerto Rico.

Under the Act, Dorado Marketing and Management LLC is subject to income tax on its export services income on a preferential tax rate of 4% based on the grant received under the Act. In order to maintain the exemption status under the Act, the Company must comply with an employment commitment of three direct employees within six months of commencement of operations and for the remaining of the exempt period of twenty years. The term "direct employees" under the grant condition includes "full-time" and "part-time" employees residing in Puerto Rico.

Income tax expense attributable to income from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, is as follows:

Expected tax expense (39%) Less: Tax relief under the Act

Note 13. Principles of Consolidation

Accounting standards for consolidation requires that a company that holds variable interests in an entity consolidate the entity if the company's interest in the variable interest entity (VIE) is such that the company will absorb a majority of the VIE's expected losses and/or receive a majority of the VIE's expected residual returns, if they occur. In such case, the company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. It also requires additional disclosures by primary beneficiaries and other significant variable interest holders.

Zurixx, LLC has a significant implicit variable interest in Dorado Marketing and Management LLC. Accordingly, Zurixx, LLC is considered the primary beneficiary in that Zurixx, LLC would be more than likely expected to absorb a majority of Dorado Marketing and Management LLC's losses and/or receive residual returns, if they occur.

Note 14. Reclassification

Certain amounts in the 2017 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation in the 2018 consolidated financial statements. These reclassifications have no effect on net income.

Note 15. Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through June 11, 2019, the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

I. Introduction

A. Scope

Zurixx, LLC (“Zurixx” or “Company”) engaged Economics Partners, LLC (“Economics

Partners” or “EP”) to analyze certain intercompany transactions and prepare a US transfer

pricing planning study for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017.

Zurixx develops, promotes, sells, and fulfills financial education programs throughout the

United States and Canada by partnering with well-known financial celebrities to provide real

estate, business, entrepreneurship, and coaching and mentoring programs to consumers.

The analyses described in this report have been conducted in accordance with Section 482 of the

U.S. Internal Revenue Code1 and the Regulations2 thereunder (“Section 482” or the “US

Regulations”). The underlying principle of the Regulations is the arm’s length standard. In

general, a controlled transaction meets the arm’s length standard if the results of the transaction

are consistent with the results that would have been realized had uncontrolled taxpayers

engaged in a comparable transaction under comparable, but uncontrolled, circumstances.

B. Summary of Analysis and Conclusions

1. Overview of Transaction

The intercompany transaction at issue in this report is the provision of certain sales and

executive management services from Dorado Marketing & Management, LLC (“Dorado”) to

Zurixx, LLC (“Zurixx US”). As described in the Functional Analysis section, Dorado provides

sales and executive management services for Zurixx US. During FY 2017, Dorado charged sales

and executive management services fees of $21.14 million to Zurixx US in consideration of these

services.

2. Summary of Findings

a) Selected Method

The Unspecified Method, as described in the US Transfer Pricing Regulations, was applied to

the tested transaction. From the standpoint of Section 482, a method that is unspecified in that it

is not the CUP method, the cost-plus method, the resale price method, the CPM method, or the

1 References in this report to the “Code,” or to particular provisions of the “Code,” refer to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (26 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.), as amended, as in effect for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. 2 References in this report to the “Regulations,” or to particular provisions of the “Regulations,” refer to the Treasury Regulations (Title 26, Code of Federal Regulations), as amended, as in effect for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.

profit split method and can be applied if it provides the most reliable measure of an arm’s

length result under the principles of the best method rule. Unspecified methods take into

account the general principle that “information be provided on the prices or profits that the

controlled taxpayer could have realized by choosing a realistic alternative to the controlled

transaction.”3

b) Application of the Unspecified Method

Using an unspecified method, EP benchmarked the covered transaction against a combination

of similar internal comparable transactions and comparable external uncontrolled prices and

transactions. These comparable prices and transactions were used to derive a benchmark of fees

representative of arm’s length compensation.

c) Unspecified Method Result

• Using the unspecified method described above, EP calculated Dorado’s median

estimated service fees to total approximately $46.32 million in FY 2017.

d) Intercompany Results

• In FY 2017, Dorado charged approximately $21.14 million in sales and executive

management fees. This result falls outside the benchmarked fee calculation because of a

stressed celebrity brand, specifically Tarek and Christina El Moussa. During FY 2017,

Tarek and Christina announced plans to divorce which negatively impacted their public

image and brand. Zurixx’s Success Path Education seminar is aggressively promoted by

Tarek and Christina and suffered substantial losses as a result. Due to these unforeseen

economic hardships, Zurixx US was only charged $21.14 million. The fee charged is

below the estimated median fee of $46.32 million and is considered arm’s-length.

C. Report Structure

The remainder of this report proceeds as follows.

Section II provides a high-level overview of Zurixx International LLC.

Section III provides an overview of the industry in which Zurixx operates.

II. Company Overview4

Zurixx develops, promotes, sells, and fulfills financial education programs throughout the

United States and Canada by partnering with well-known financial celebrities to provide real

estate, business strategy, entrepreneurship, and coaching and mentoring programs to

consumers. The Company utilizes a multi-phase educational process to equip students with

tools, knowledge and resources that help them be financially successful.

A. Zurixx History

In 2012 Jeff Spangler (President, U.S.) and Chris Cannon (President, P.R.) formed Zurixx with

Jim Carlson (CEO). All three founders had previous experience in the industry and were able to

leverage previous celebrity relationships, employees, and industry “know-how” to launch the

Zurixx business. Since founding the business, Zurixx’s management team has focused on

managing business fundamentals including detailed weekly financial statement reports, weekly

cash-flow forecast as well as other Key Performance Indicators (“KPI”). The Zurixx

management team recognizes that many of its competitors, both current and former, lack a

similar focus which frequently leads liquidation issues that often end up in bankruptcy. This

data-driven approach has become a competitive advantage for Zurixx and is one of the most

important factors in the Company’s on-going success.

B. Zurixx Legal Entity Structure

2. Dorado Marketing & Management, LLC (“Dorado”)

a) Overview

Dorado’s primary function is marketing, event management, and celebrity contract

management celebrity management. However, Dorado also provides administrative executive

support for marketing and events (see the Marketing and Events Management sections). All

Dorado employees are residents of Puerto Rico. The Zurixx Group management headquarters

are located in Dorado, Puerto Rico. Operations for Dorado began in January 2015. Dorado

follows a calendar year and keeps its books and records in U.S. dollars as its functional

currency.

Dorado has elected to be treated as a corporation for both U.S. federal and Puerto Rican tax

purposes. The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico is a United States territory, not a state.

Consequently, U.S. federal income taxes do not apply generally to income generated by Puerto

Rico corporations as they are treated as foreign corporations not generally subject to U.S. federal

corporate tax rates.

On January 17, 2012, Puerto Rico enacted Act No. 20 of 2012, as amended, known as the “Export

Services Act,” “the Act,” or “Act 20,” to offer the necessary elements for the creation of a world-

class international service center. The Act establishes a legal framework of incentives designed

to stimulate the development of a wide variety of ventures, including the export of services.

Additionally, this law promotes investments in research and development and initiatives from

the academic and private sectors by granting credits and exemptions for these activities.

Further, the Act helps to decrease operational and energy spending for companies moving to

the island to help their operations remain profitable and efficient.

The Act provides tax exemptions and tax credits to businesses engaged in eligible activities in

Puerto Rico. To qualify for Act 20 benefits, a business prepares an application that includes

details about the services it will provide at its Puerto Rican entity including details regarding

employee headcount, wages, projected revenues from providing the services and other similar

financial information required on the Act 20 application.5

5 The Act provides benefits for services provided from Puerto Rico to outside markets. Eligible activities to receive benefits under the Act are services in the following areas: i) research and development; ii) advertising and public relations; iii) economic, scientific, environmental, technological, managerial, marketing, human resources, engineering, information systems, auditing, and consulting services; iv) consulting services for any trade or business; v) commercial art and graphic services; vi) production of engineering and architectural plans and designs, and related services; vii) professional services such as legal, tax, and accounting services; viii) centralized managerial services, including, but no limited to, strategic direction, planning and budgeting, provided by regional headquarters or a headquarters company engaged in the business of providing such services; ix) services performed by electronic data processing centers; x) development of licensee computer software; xi) telecommunications voice and data

Economics Partners, LLC

The business submits its completed application to the Office of Industrial Tax Exemption of

Puerto Rico. The decree issued by the Puerto Rican government provides full detail of tax rates

and conditions mandated by the Act and is considered a contract between the Government of

Puerto Rico and the service provider. Dorado filed its application in August 2014 and obtained

its tax exemption decree in January 20156.

Dorado is not subject to any taxes (e.g., dividend tax, tollgate tax etc.) with exception to local

corporate and municipal taxes on its income from its eligible activities in Puerto Rico. Dorado is

also subject to Puerto Rico’s fixed income tax rate established in the tax decree.

D. Products

Zurixx markets and sells workshops and events, online content as well as coaching sessions

focused on teaching students how to invest in real estate and how to become a successful

entrepreneur. The Zurixx target customer is between 35 and 55 years old and is looking for a

way to earn extra money apart from a typical full-time job. Zurixx plans to launch a stock

market education program in 2018 to further expand its educational offerings. While product

lines (i.e., real estate and entrepreneurship) don’t change very often, the brands (i.e., celebrity

endorsements) under the product line umbrellas frequently change to align with market

preferences and interests.

Zurixx has developed certain educational programs branded as the following:

1. Success Path Education

Success Path Education is a real estate training workshop that is built around the “know-how”

and persona of Tarek and Christina El Mousa. This workshop teaches participants how to

successfully renovate and “flip” houses by focusing on topics like business planning and goal

setting, asset protection, acquisition funding, and legal entity formation. Specifically, the

Success Path workshops teach participants the following subjects:

• How to launch a real estate business and generate a profit by flipping, buying

and holding, and wholesaling homes;

• How to find unlisted properties using nontraditional techniques;

• How to utilize participants credit, retirement savings, hard money lenders,

gap funding, and traditional mortgages to fund real estate transactions; and,

between persons located outside of Puerto Rico; xii) call centers; xiii) shared service centers; xiv) medical, hospital, and laboratories services; xv) investment banking and other financial services, including but not limited to asset management, alternative investments, management of activities related to private capital investment, management of coverage funds or high-risk funds, management of pools of capital, trust management that serves to convert different groups of assets into securities, and escrow account management services; and xvi) any other service designated by the Secretary of the Department of Economic Development and Commerce of Puerto Rico.

6 A copies of Zurixx’s Act 20 application and decree are available upon request.

• How to generate income through wholesale real estate transactions and,

connecting with real estate investors for a finder’s fee.

Participants receive a starter kit including an MP3 player and a compact disc featuring 50 Ways

to Find Your Next Flip.

2. Daymond John’s Launch Academy

The Launch Academy helps participants achieve their goals of becoming a successful

entrepreneur. This workshop focuses on helping prospective entrepreneurs make the transition

from an idea to the actual launch of a business. Further, the workshops teach participants

strategies to manage money, position the business, and creating a legacy. Launch Academy

was introduced to the market during the third quarter of 2015. The topics covered during the

training include the following:

• Validating the business concept;

• Moving toward a product launch with greater speed;

• Engaging with potential customers and transforming them into buyers; and,

• Positioning leaders to efficiently build the business.

The skills obtained during the workshop include mastering the components of a business

presentation, business planning and goal setting, marketing strategy and research, social media

and networking tools, funding acquisitions, and advertising and media. All attendees receive a

starter kit including an MP3 player and Daymond John’s eBooks, Stepping Up for Success and

Perfecting Your Pitch.

3. The Flipping Formula

Pete Souhleris and Dave Seymour built a successful house-flipping business on a formula they

created. Pete and Dave, in partnership with Zurixx, have turned their formula into an

educational program that has helped people start their own successful real estate businesses.

Similar to Success Path, participants learn how to find unlisted properties, which are below

market value, obtain financing, create cash flow, and complete a wholesale real estate

transaction in 60 to 90-days. Participants receive a starter kit including the Ripe or Rotten? DVD

on how to evaluate properties, the Zero to Hero DVD, the Flipping Formula eBook, and the 24

Ways to Profit eBook.

The Flipping Formula helps participants determine the profitability of their prospective

purchases. The formula starts with surveying three months of sales data for comparable

properties within a mile and a two-and-a-half-mile radius. Once a probable post-flip listing

price is determined, the program employs a Maximum Offer for Ownership (“MOFO”)

formula. The formula starts with the post-flip listing price and subtracts an ideal profit

(generally 20 percent to account for the unexpected), an allotment for fees like commissions and

closing costs, and the cost of construction, which is carefully determined after reviewing bids

from multiple contractors. The formula also incorporates what design trends and products are

important to adding value.

4. Winning the Property War

Doug Hopkins and Damon Line have decades of professional real estate experience and have

put together their flipping and wholesaling strategies into an educational program called

Winning the Property War. This seminar trains real estate agents and investors to: 1) learn to

flip, renovate, and wholesale houses; 2) obtain key real estate information; and, 3) position the

participants to become full-time real estate investors.

5. Property Bank

Mike Baird from Spike TV’s Flip Men and Greg Herlean, best-selling author of Bank on This,

have created the Property Bank real estate training system. This educational system teaches

participants how to find growth and wealth opportunities.

6. Conclusion

Many of the previously described products follow a “product funnel” that seek to steadily

engage customers with additional advanced trainings and products. Figure 2 below illustrates

the product sale funnel that customers typically engage in.

III. Industry Background8

Zurixx operates in two broad industry categories: Education and training services industry;

and, sales and marketing industry. Though Zurixx operates in each industry simultaneously,

each industry has unique characteristics and is analyzed separately in this section.

A. Education and Training Services Industry

1. Industry Overview

Companies in the education and training services industry include business and secretarial

schools; technical and trade schools; and providers of tutoring, exam preparation, and other

workshops and seminars. Educational services are typically marketed to both businesses and

individual consumers.

Industry demand is driven by several factors, but employment trends, changes in disposable

income and demographic trends are the primary drivers of industry performance. It is

estimated that the educational services sector will grow at an annualized rate of 1.3 percent over

the five years through 2023.

The primary disciplines and schools that attract students include technical and trade schools,

business schools and information technology training. Technical and trade schools include

cosmetology, flight, real estate, bartending, apprenticeship, and professional development

institutions. Business and computer training programs offer secretarial, court reporting,

software programming, and computer networking courses. Other services include fine arts

schools, sports and recreation instruction, language schools, exam preparation and tutoring,

and driving schools.

2. Performance

Part of the educational and training services industry includes trade schools and primary

educational institutions which are subsidized by government programs. Increased government

funding is expected to drive some of the growth in the industry. However, increased access to

the internet and online programs will tighten competition and may constrain revenue growth.

Finally, disposable income is expected to increase at an annualized rate of 1.9 percent between

2018 and 2023. As a result, consumers will be more likely to spend discretionary income on

additional services and goods, including educational services. Steady unemployment rates will

likely push individuals to seek education and other sources of income to supplement their

needs.

Page | 21

Economics Partners, LLC

www.econpartners.com

3. Competition

Postsecondary and other educational programs are subject to intense competition due to the

variability and multitude of substitute products. Because of web platforms and software

programs, this competition has increased as consumers are no longer limited to educational

programs that are within their physical or geographic proximity. Success in this sector is driven

by reputable brand name and image, access to skilled instructors, and economics (e.g., cost of

training, potential return on investment etc.). Some sectors within the industry are subject to

additional government regulations and therefore require additional investments and costs to

comply with these requirements.

B. Sales and Marketing Industry Overview

1. Industry Overview

Companies in the sales and marketing industry create advertising campaigns, implement public

relations campaigns, and engage in media buying, among other advertising services. Major

services are advertising for print, broadcast, and online media, direct marketing, and public

relations. Other services include display advertising, media buying, and media representation.

The primary goal of sales and marketing consultants is to provide assistance to strategy,

planning, pricing, market evaluation, customer analysis, competitive analysis, product

development and forecasting.

2. Performance

Demand for advertising and marketing services comes largely from individual and corporate

businesses that sell consumer products, entertainment, financial services, technology, and

telecommunications services. Demand for industry services is linked to the availability of

financial resources and other discretionary expenditures by businesses and individuals. The

profitability of individual companies depends on creative skills and maintaining client

relationships. Increased broadband connectivity has driven the availability of products and

therefore increased competition. This has translated to strong demand for advertising and sales

services that has increased revenue growth to 1.9 percent in 2016. Overall, the marketing and

sales industry has grown due to a bolstered economic recovery and increased levels of excess

cash to spend on consultancy services. Level of demand for marketing and sales consultants is

typically linked to the economic cycle.

3. Competition

The marketing and sales consulting industry is fragmented and consists of numerous small

firms that tend to service niche markets. However, the industry still contains several larger

companies such as advertising multinationals and large consulting firms that are responsible for

a large portion of industry revenue. Larger businesses include Accenture Ltd., McKinsey &

Company, Publicis Groupe and WPP PLC. Good consulting firms operative effectively when

they have access to a highly skilled workforce and establish a well-known brand name.

Consultants are valuable due to their distinguished experience and expertise. Companies that

can recruit and manage talented employees and industry experts will likely see better customer

results. As companies become more globalized, product offerings will expand into other areas

of consultancy and expertise. Smaller firms and businesses will have to set apart their services

by offering enhanced knowledge and greater customer service.

IV. Functional Analysis

A. Introduction

A functional analysis is an analysis of a company’s operations and business processes that

identifies the key sources of economic value that pertain to each intercompany transaction. A

meaningful functional analysis focuses primarily on the contributions to economic value on

each side of an intercompany transaction, rather than simply cataloging the functions

performed by each entity that participates in a given transaction. As such, a functional analysis

is essential to the development and documentation of intercompany transfer prices, because it

provides the information necessary to evaluate how economic value is created, and how a

transfer pricing structure should distribute that value.

In general, a firm’s stock of assets, or flow of functions performed over time, can be

characterized as either “routine,” or “non-routine.” Routine assets and functions are typically

fairly standard, re-deployable, and general in nature. These are assets or activities that have a

clear opportunity cost in the open market, and which in equilibrium would earn a competitive

rate of return (also referred to as a “routine” rate of return, or a “normal” rate of return).

Routine assets and functions are, as the name implies, amenable to benchmarking.

Often, the activities and assets associated with distribution or standard manufacturing are

viewed as routine. To the extent that these assets and functions can be redeployed to a higher

valued use if they are unable to generate an adequate rate of return when used within the

related party system, the assets are likely to be routine in nature. Distribution companies

typically realize a measurable, and somewhat predictable, level of profitability because they

operate in a competitive market – made so by the non-unique nature of the distribution

function. Many routine manufacturing companies operate in a similar environment, for similar

reasons. Other activities that are typically thought of as routine include administrative

functions, certain routine marketing functions, and accounting functions.

By contrast, non-routine assets and functions are in some way non-standard, usually non-re-

deployable, and relatively unique. Non-routine assets and functions create a barrier to entry or

market niche for a company. Essentially, these functions represent strategic investments by a

company. Should the investments succeed, the company earns economic rents (profit in excess

of the competitive rate of return). Should the investments fail, the investment cost is not

reimbursed, and the company typically earns a routine rate of return, or less. In short, non-

routine assets and functions represent investments by a company in an attempt to garner a

competitive advantage over its rivals.

The fact that non-routine intangibles are, by definition, unique or non-replicable in some way,

makes it difficult to provide a list of general “classes” of assets that are non-routine. However, a

somewhat ad hoc list of specific examples of non-routine assets is certainly possible. Often,

research and development activities directed at the creation of a competitive advantage are non-

routine. Similarly, marketing activities that create strong brand name identity, or consistently

Case 2:19-cv-00713-DAK-EJF Document 71-19 Filed 12/13/19 Page 24 of 85

Page | 24

Economics Partners, LLC

www.econpartners.com

profitable customer relationships, can be thought of as non-routine. In many cases, brand

intangibles, whether in-licensed or self-developed, contribute to economic profit. So-called

“asset specificity,” whereby a firm creates a production process, design set (for example,

through engineering), or physical asset base, that is tailored to a long run economic relationship

with a specific customer or set of customers, is also non-routine. Finally, activities that create a

strong position in a niche market, such as market identification, product design, and specialized

sales activities, can be non-routine in nature.

A key purpose of the functional analysis process, then, is to draw a relation between a

company’s activities and assets, and economic value. In many cases, this mapping is greatly

facilitated by classifying activities and assets as routine and non-routine. In short, drawing on

the results of the functional analysis, the final conclusions of a transfer pricing analysis should

be roughly consistent with the identification of the two categories of functions, assets, and risks.

Transfer prices should reward routine activities at a level that is roughly consistent with, or

commensurate with, their opportunity cost. Consequently, any residual profit or loss should

flow, or accrue, to non-routine activities and assets.

B. Overview of Transaction

The intercompany transaction at issue in this report is the provision of certain services,

including marketing, public relations, consulting, event management, celebrity management

and administrative support for marketing and events (“covered services”) from Dorado to

Zurixx US. Details are given in the “Master Services Agreement”9 effective January 1, 2015 and

is available upon request. During a given fiscal year, Dorado charges Zurixx US for its covered

services.

C. Functions Performed

This section provides a summary of the functions performed by the parties to the controlled

transactions. These functions are classified in nine categories: (1) Accounting and Finance; (2)

Celebrity Relationships; (3) Marketing; (4) Event Planning and Management; (5) Events

Support; (6) Information Technology; (7) Customer Support; (8) Sales; and, (9) Coaching and

Education.

1. Accounting and Finance

The accounting and finance team manages all corporate finances, including financial statement

preparation, cash management, payroll, financial planning and analysis, and corporate

expenditures. This includes the accounting and finance functions for both Zurixx US and

Dorado. The team consists of the CFO, Controller, and five staff accountants, all based in the

US.

9 Additional details regarding the “Master Services Agreement” can be found in Table 6 of this report.

Page | 25

Economics Partners, LLC

www.econpartners.com

a) Payroll

Payroll for the entire company is processed weekly by the accounting team. The payroll and

commissions are calculated in the US. Zurixx US holds a bank account for US payroll and a

separate account for Puerto Rico payroll. The Controller works with the Puerto Rico Office

Manager and an outsourced payroll company to coordinate payroll for the Puerto Rico

employees. A different third-party payroll company is used to process payroll for all US

employees.

2. Celebrity Relationships

Celebrity relationships are maintained by executives who reside in Puerto Rico.

The executives spend about 60 percent of their time maintaining existing celebrity relationships

and the remaining 40 percent identifying and negotiating new celebrity contracts. The CEO and

President, both reside in Puerto Rico, work to identify up and coming celebrities who have

developed a brand and following through television programs and other social media channels.

Ideally, entering into contracts with new and up-and-coming celebrities as they are just starting

to gain popularity is the most effective and cost-efficient approach to developing a new

celebrity brand. The process for signing a new celebrity involves several steps:

• The President makes initial contact with the celebrity, either directly or through his/her

agent by phone

• The President presents the proposed arrangement and discusses the contractual terms.

• The celebrity or his/her agent will meet in-person with the President to finalize

contractual terms and conditions.

• The celebrity will attend a Zurixx-sponsored event to better understand the business

model and how his/her product offering will be packaged and presented to the public.

• The final contract is signed and the content for the program is developed, tested and

finalized.

Zurixx US pays celebrities a commission based on the sales made of their respective brands.

Celebrities earn, on average, a five percent commission on sales related to his/her training

program. Most celebrity contracts have three-year terms, with an additional auto-renew at the

fourth year. Celebrity contracts are entered between the celebrities themselves and Zurixx US.

A considerable amount of time is spent by the executive team in Puerto Rico maintaining

celebrity contracts. Celebrities often request information about how their brand is performing as

well as how his/her brand is perceived in the marketplace.

Zurixx maintains a reserve for legal costs and sales declines as a result of celebrity relationships

that deteriorate.

3. Marketing

There are 12 members of the marketing team, including a Marketing Director. The Marketing

Director oversees the day-to-day activities of the marketing team as well as the events team,

which is headquartered in Puerto Rico. Ultimately, the CEO provides oversight and direction to

the marketing team. The CEO, who physically resides in Puerto Rico, has developed the

marketing models and associated business processes that help guide the overall marketing

strategy of Zurixx.

a) Marketing Activities

The marketing team spends a considerable portion of its time coordinating the drafting and

production of printed material with an external vendor. Additionally, the team manages and

creates graphic design, video promotions, and associated marketing materials.

The marketing team utilizes a mix of both targeted direct mail and digital marketing campaigns

to promote its educational seminars in the US and Canada. The team also tracks and analyzes

demographic and lifestyle data for key North American markets where the Company will offer

its training seminars. The data analytics helps the Company to better identify and message its

offering to target attendees.

In addition to its customer analytics, the marketing team also performs ongoing studies

regarding the use of celebrities to help attract participants to the Company’s seminars. These

studies show that sales increase by 10-15 percent as a result of using a celebrity brand as

compared to a non-branded, non-celebrity event. The majority of market research work is

organized and led by the CEO in Puerto Rico.

b) Public Relations

Zurixx outsources most of its public relations efforts to external vendors, including Big Leap for

online reputation, Avalaunch Media for digital public relations and content writing, Venable for

Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) consulting, and Levick for public relations legal advice. The

Marketing team also employs an in-house Public Relations Director.

c) Marketing Intellectual Property

Zurixx US owns all images and photos that are generated by the Marketing team. However, if a

celebrity provides his/her image and allows the Company to use it to market training seminars,

the celebrity retains ownership of these photos and images. To date, the Company hasn’t taken

any legal action on trademark or tradename infringements.

4. Event Planning and Management

The Events team is in located in Puerto Rico and is comprised of six team members. The

Department’s primary roles are to book events, arrange the venues, schedule presenters, and

Case 2:19-cv-00713-DAK-EJF Document 71-19 Filed 12/13/19 Page 27 of 85

Page | 27

Economics Partners, LLC

www.econpartners.com

coordinate with the Marketing team for both current and future events. The Company uses a

third-party travel agency to book travel for the roadcrew and presenters.

Events in the same geographic region are spaced out according to the type of event and brand.

For example, Daymond John entrepreneurship events occur in the same geographic region

about every three months. The real estate events, however, only occur every six months in any

given region.

a) Events Intellectual Property

The events team in Puerto Rico owns all intellectual property related to the calendar of future

events and approved vendor lists. The events team takes precautions to protect this IP from

competitors (i.e. the Company does not want its competitors to schedule a competing event at

the same time and in the same geographical location). Additionally, the Company receives bulk

venue discounts with large hotel chains. While price is important when selecting venues, the

quality of the venue for a particular event is more important to the events team. All

relationships with large hotel and venue chains are managed from Puerto Rico. Given the

highly competitive nature of the industry, the events team also encourages venues to sign non-

compete and non-disclosure agreements.

b) Dorado

The Dorado events team works closely with the marketing, equipment, and sales teams to

ensure all necessary materials and equipment (e.g., audio and video equipment, Point of Sale

terminals etc.) arrive at an event site according to schedule. Additionally, all events team

members are required to attend at least one event (e.g., preview, workshop, etc.) in the US as

part of their initial and ongoing training.

c) Canada

During a given year, the events team will schedule and conduct multiple events in several

Canadian cities, including Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, Calgary and Edmonton. The process for

booking events in Canada is similar to the process for booking events in the US, with a few

minor differences. For example, due to delays in crossing the Canadian border with AV

equipment, the Company will rent this equipment directly from the venue. Dorado is

responsible for scheduling and booking events in Canada.

5. Sales Support

The sales support and management team manage the roadcrew, event directors, and speakers,

and ensures that each event has the needed supplies, equipment, AV equipment and provides

ongoing technical support. Although Zurixx US interacts with hotels and venue staff

occasionally, the relationship with venues is owned and managed by the events team. The

exceptions to this are specialized events when more technical support and coordination with

Case 2:19-cv-00713-DAK-EJF Document 71-19 Filed 12/13/19 Page 28 of 85

Page | 28

Economics Partners, LLC

www.econpartners.com

venue staff is needed, including the annual Vegas event and various advanced camps held

throughout the year.

a) Turnkey and Printed Materials

The sales support team works closely with Turnkey Inc., a third-party printing and logistics

company, to manage the printing and shipping of educational materials for each event. Preview

kits, brochures, bound books, handouts and order forms are distributed at preview and

workshop events. Each item includes the brand and logo of the event.

The sales support team does not maintain an inventory of printed materials at its office or a

warehouse, this is done to help manage printing and storage costs. Dorado works closely with

the marketing team to determine the amount of printed materials needed for each event based

on projected attendee counts. Turnkey maintains sufficient inventories of the various printed

materials and will ship these items directly to the venue site when notified by Dorado to do so.

Turnkey holds title to and risk of loss of the printed materials until the material is distributed to

students at events. After each event, any excess materials that are reusable are mailed back to a

Turnkey location for use at a future event and all unusable materials are discarded.

b) Dorado

The support team is highly integrated with the Puerto Rico-based events team in coordinating

and planning events. The two teams communicate regularly. While the events team plans and

authorizes events, the support team carries out the events.

6. Information Technology

All IT functions and software infrastructure development efforts are managed by the IT team,

which is in the US. The IT team manages both hardware and software technology solutions for

the Company. There are two IT employees, a director of IT and a help desk specialist.

a) Computer Hardware

Most hardware components are managed and maintained by the Zurixx IT team. The

Company’s primary data server is in Utah with an additional server located at its Puerto Rico

office. The Company integrates call center phones with various software systems to track

customer interactions.

The team outsources all hardware installation, configuration and maintenance related to CISCO

products.

b) Software

Zurixx employees use both off-the-shelf and customized software in conducting the day-to-day

operations of the business. All the software customizations are performed by the IT Director,

Case 2:19-cv-00713-DAK-EJF Document 71-19 Filed 12/13/19 Page 29 of 85

except for the custom EMS software, which was outsourced to an independent software

developer. The outsourced developer has also spent a small amount of time integrating the EMS

with Moodle and Sugar CRM.

c) Dorado

Zurixx US provides IT support and infrastructure to Dorado. When Dorado was formed, the IT

Director traveled to Puerto Rico to setup and configure the network and server located there.

The IT team periodically travels to Puerto Rico to perform network maintenance and hardware

upgrades. The US help desk provides support for all Puerto Rico employees and manages data

storage and hardware for Dorado. When new hardware is needed in the Puerto Rico office, the

IT team purchases and configures the hardware in the US and then ships the hardware to

Puerto Rico. The Puerto Rico office has its own server.

Dorado is highly integrated with all the software systems managed by Zurixx US. They access

all company data through Sugar CRM and a private VPN portal.

7. Customer Support

The customer service department performs two primary functions: 1) Inbound communication

from seminar participants and attendee registrants; and, 2) outbound communication with

attendees and no-shows. Currently, 75 percent of customer communications are phone calls

with the remaining 25 percent of customer interactions occurring via email. Each inbound and

outbound call is tracked in the Company’s highly-customized Sugar CRM platform.

Additionally, for legal and training purposes, each inbound and outbound call is recorded on

Asterisk, a third-party phone management system, to ensure quality and compliance with all

government rules.

Between the US and Puerto Rico, there are 18 full-time employees in the customer service

department, including a US director, a US supervisor and a Puerto Rico supervisor. The

customer service team expanded its operations to Puerto Rico in January 2016 and the team is

now highly integrated between both locations. Both teams have access to the same customer

information and software tools. The Customer Service Director manages and oversees the

department’s operations in both locations and works closely with supervisors in each location.

Although the two supervisors reside in different geographies, each is responsible for overseeing

the work done by team members in both the US and Puerto Rico.

Page | 31

Economics Partners, LLC

www.econpartners.com

a) Inbound Communications

When current or prospective customers contact the Company they are directed first to the

customer support team. There are various reasons that people contact the company, but most of

the calls and emails are questions from current customers about products and events they have

already purchased.

Because the customer support team has employees in both the US and Puerto Rico, the hours of

operation for the department are extended past normal business hours. Between 7:00 and 9:00

AM Mountain Time, all calls are routed by the company’s phone system, Asterisk, to the

customer support team in Puerto Rico. Between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM Mountain Time, calls or

emails are routed to either the US team or the Puerto Rico team, depending on availability. All

customer emails are placed in a queue that either team can answer at any time.

b) Outbound Communications

Shortly after a customer purchases a product, the support team will contact the individual to

welcome the customer and verify that all the contact information is correct. Additionally, the

support team will contact all event attendees to ensure that the attendees are satisfied with their

participation and purchase of training materials. It is important to note that these follow-up

calls are not sales calls. While the sales department also calls event participants as part of the

sales process, the customer service employees do not sell additional products to customers.

Rather, the customer service department uses outbound calls to ensure quality and customer

satisfaction.

Another function performed by the customer service group is contract compliance. When a

customer purchases additional training or materials, he is placed in an online queue in Sugar

CRM for a follow up discussion to review the online contract. As soon as a customer signs the

online contract, the sale is finalized, and the customer’s credit card or bank account is charged

for the seminar or product. Because it is more complex than normal communication, contract

compliance is primarily performed by the US team.

c) AD Hoc Requests and Refunds

The customer support team is also involved in various ad hoc inbound and outbound

communications as needs arise, such as changes in venues or refunds. Every time a customer

calls in for a refund, a “case” is created. For smaller cases, the refund is immediately paid. For

larger refunds, the case goes to a “Saves” team, which tries to dissuade people from canceling

and seeking a refund. The “Saves” team is comprised of four US employees. Although most

refunds can be issued without approval, large refunds must be approved by the director.

Page | 32

Economics Partners, LLC

www.econpartners.com

d) Team Management

When a new employee joins the customer service department, there is no formal training; most

of the training occurs on the job. On average, it takes about two weeks for a customer service

representative to be fully onboarded and trained.

The entire department (both the US and PR teams) have weekly meetings via Skype where they

receive training on best practices and talk about company and department updates. Although

there is minimal turnover in the department, hiring and firing decisions are made jointly by the

director and respective supervisor in each jurisdiction. The director travels to Puerto Rico at

least once a quarter to train employees, manage logistics, and interview new hires. Given the

strict labor laws in Puerto Rico, the director works closely with in-house counsel to ensure that

the company remains compliant with all Puerto Rican employment laws. Additionally, each

customer service employee will visit the other team’s location, respectively, on a frequent basis.

On average, there is one employee per week visiting the other team’s location. During these

visits, employees are trained and mentored by their co-workers..

8. Sales

The sales team is divided into three groups: Roadcrew; Educational Programs Telesales; and,

Backend Services Telesales. Like other Zurixx departments, there is very little, if any, employee

turnover in the Sales team.

a) Road Crew

The Road Crew team is composed of independent contractors who help run events at venues

across the US and Canada. The team sets up equipment, registers attendees, and processes

payments for products that customers purchase at events through a third-party payment

processing platform called, Zpay.

b) Educational Programs

The Educational Programs Telesales team calls prospects after they have attended a preview

event or three-day workshop to sell them additional Zurixx products and services. This team

primarily focuses on cross-selling one-on-one coaching sessions and individual mentoring

packages.

c) Back-End Services

Many of the Zurixx customers are new to entrepreneurship and real estate investing. The Back-

End Services Telesales team offers post-event support service packages to help these customers

set-up and operate their new businesses. Specifically, the team helps existing customers form

legal entities, prepare tax filings and other similar legal and compliance work. Most of these

sales occur over the telephone; however, these services are also sold at live events in advanced

seminars in places like Las Vegas.

Case 2:19-cv-00713-DAK-EJF Document 71-19 Filed 12/13/19 Page 33 of 85

Page | 33

Economics Partners, LLC

www.econpartners.com

When a customer purchases the backend services, the sales team will connect the customer with

various third-party accountants and lawyers who perform the services. The agreements with

these vendors are with Zurixx US. Zurixx bills the customer directly and simultaneously pays

the vendors. The client never interacts with the legal advisor – the sales team collects all the

needed information in Sugar CRM and passes it on to the legal advisor for processing.

However, the client does interact directly with the accounting vendor. Zurixx US has a fixed fee

arrangement with the accounting vendor and a commission-based arrangement with the legal

vendor.

Canadian students that are making investments in the US face additional backend nuances.

Although the Zurixx sales team will assist its Canadian customers on making investments in the

US, the team does not provide backend services for real estate or business investments in

Canada.

d) Dorado

The sales department works closely with the customer service department, including the

customer service team in Puerto Rico. Several times per day the customer service

representatives will pass on referrals to the sales teams.

9. Coaching and Educational Content

Coaching is Zurixx’s highest margin product and comprises between 20 and 30 percent of the

Company’s revenues. Students pay for one-on-one phone coaching sessions on real estate

investing and small business entrepreneurship. Additionally, customers who purchase

professional coaching packages obtain access to an online database of educational videos taught

by the various coaches. The coaching team, headquartered in the US, manages the coaching

relationships and the material provided on the online educational platform.

The coaching team has experienced very little turnover since the inception of the Company. The

customer support team also receives very few refund requests related to coaching services.

Coaching and mentoring materials are modified and customized for the Canadian market.

All video production and script writing is performed internally at the Zurixx Utah office.

Currently, the Company has more than 100 videos in its online training library.

a) Coaching

The twelve coaches, who are all full-time Zurixx US employees, have all personally been

successful real estate investors and entrepreneurs. Most coaches work from home, although

their coaching schedules are managed by the coaching team. The coaches are trained on a

proprietary Zurixx “accountability” model that focuses on personal goal setting and

mentorship. Coaches have an opportunity to obtain external certifications to help grow their

credentials. Most coaches teach both real estate investing and entrepreneurship principles. All

Case 2:19-cv-00713-DAK-EJF Document 71-19 Filed 12/13/19 Page 34 of 85

Page | 34

Economics Partners, LLC

www.econpartners.com

coaches working for Zurixx are required to sign a non-disclosure agreement. Coaches meet

weekly with Zurixx executives to receive training and to help coordinate brand alignment,

scheduling, and discuss new market initiatives.

Zurixx owners are very involved in the coaching function. Each of the three owners interacts on

a regular basis with all of the coaches/mentors.

b) Online Educational Platform

The educational videos and other training materials are stored and managed on a third-party

platform called Moodle. The content is all created and produced internally by the coaching

team and is owned by Zurixx US. Each video is refreshed every two to three years or when a

new coach joins the team. The goal is to provide relevant and timely content to students.

c) Mentoring

In addition to coaching, Zurixx offers mentoring services to its students. Mentoring includes in-

person meetings and training between the student and the mentor. An example of a common

mentoring activity is when a mentor travels to the student’s place of business and will jointly to

identify and visit investment properties to help in student select and purchase a property.

Mentoring makes up a small portion of the Company’s revenues and is managed by the

coaching team. Zurixx provides in-house entrepreneurship mentoring, but contracts with a

third-party for all real estate mentoring.

d) Dorado

The sales team is required to coordinate with the Company’s in-house legal counsel located in

Puerto Rico. The legal team reviews sales session transcripts and presentations to ensure

everything that is said is compliant with government regulations. In addition, the coaching

team receives direction and approval from Dorado executives on how to conduct training and

manage the workload.

10. Intercompany Agreements and Financing

financing organizations.

c) Internal Financing Activities

As of December 31, 2017, the Company did not have any internal financing arrangements.

D. Conclusion

EP’s interviews of Company representatives along with an analysis of the Zurixx operating

structure suggests the following:

• Zurixx US operates as the entrepreneur with responsibilities for developing and

investing in intellectual property, making capital investments to grow the business and

assuming the primary enterprise risks associated with operating this type of business.

• Dorado performs functions that are consistent with those of a value-added service

provider that performs high-value services involving marketing, customer

identification, celebrity contract management, event planning and strategic operations of

the business.

In constructing this functional analysis, EP interviewed various Zurixx employees to

understand the nature and structure of the Zurixx organization.

V. Regulatory Overview

A. U.S. Transfer Pricing Regulations

As was noted previously in this report, the US Regulations concerning transfer pricing are

provided largely by Section 482 of the Internal Revenue Code. In the sections that follow, we

provide an overview of the US Regulations relevant to the transactions covered by this report,

including available methods and additional considerations for transactions involving tangible

goods, services, intangible property and intercompany loans.

B. The Arm’s Length Principle

The arm’s length standard is common to most transfer pricing regulations around the world,

including the US Regulations. In general, a controlled transaction meets the arm’s length

standard if the results of the transaction are consistent with the results that would have been

realized if uncontrolled taxpayers had engaged in comparable transactions under comparable

circumstances. In order to be “comparable” to a controlled transaction, an uncontrolled

transaction need not be identical to the controlled transaction but must only be sufficiently

similar that it provides a reliable measure of an arm’s length result. To meet the arm’s length

standard, a controlled taxpayer’s results need only be within the range of results determined by

the results of two or more comparable uncontrolled transactions.

The US Regulations give the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) broad authority to reallocate

income or deductions between related entities if the Service determines that such allocation “is

necessary in order to prevent evasion of taxes or clearly to reflect the income” of such related

entities. The IRS states in the final Section 482 regulations that “[t]he purpose of section 482 is

to ensure that taxpayers clearly reflect income attributable to controlled transactions, and to

prevent the avoidance of taxes with respect to such transactions” by placing “a controlled

taxpayer on a tax parity with an uncontrolled taxpayer by determining the true taxable income

of the controlled taxpayer.”

The US Regulations reiterate the IRS’ support of the arm’s length standard, stating that:

the standard to be applied in every case is that of a taxpayer dealing at arm's length with

an uncontrolled taxpayer. A controlled transaction meets the arm’s length standard if

the results of the transaction are consistent with the results that would have been realized

if uncontrolled taxpayers had engaged in the same transaction under the same

circumstances...10

The key concept underlying application of the arm’s length standard is comparability; the

related party transaction in question should be assessed relative to comparable transactions

between uncontrolled parties under comparable circumstances. In view of the validity

attributed to the arm’s length standard, prudence dictates that the arm’s length standard be

given a great deal of respect in analyzing any transfer pricing issue. The analysis in this report

is based exclusively on that standard.

Depending on the nature of the items transferred, the US Regulations require that slightly

different methods be employed to determine arm’s length prices. In every case, however, the

standard applied is that of an uncontrolled taxpayer dealing at arm’s length with an unrelated

party.

C. Best Method Rule

The US Regulations provide several methods for determining intercompany prices and require

that the “best” method be employed to determine arm’s length pricing for each intercompany

transaction. The best method is defined as the method that produces the most reliable measure

of an arm’s length result for the controlled transaction, considering all the facts and

circumstances of that transaction.

There are two primary factors that must be considered in order to determine which method is

best. The first is the degree of comparability between the controlled transaction and the

uncontrolled transaction. The five factors that must be considered when determining the

degree of comparability are:11

• Functions performed;

• Contractual terms;

• Risks borne;

• Economic conditions experienced; and,

• Nature of the property or services.

The functional analysis is critical in determining these five factors as they relate to the entities

under review. The functional analysis is the method of finding and organizing facts about the

businesses in terms of functions, risks, and intangibles in order to identify how these

characteristics are divided between the entities involved for the transactions under review. The

purpose of the functional analysis is to describe the activities undertaken by the entities in order

to identify comparable transactions that established an arm’s length range of prices. Thus, the

functional analysis provides a factual foundation for establishing a transfer pricing

methodology consistent with the arm’s length standard set forth in Section 482.

The second consideration in determining the best method is the quality of the data and

assumptions used in the analysis. Again, there are several factors to consider in assessing the

quality of the data and assumptions. They are:

• Completeness and accuracy of data;

• Reliability of assumptions; and,

• Sensitivity of the results to deficiencies in data and assumptions.12

D. Choice of Methodology

As a general matter, one can classify transfer pricing methods into three categories:

transactional methods, profitability benchmarking methods, and profit split methods.

Transactional methods are based upon uncontrolled transactions considered comparable to a

given controlled transaction. When closely comparable transactions exist, the data related to

these uncontrolled transactions are considered to provide the most objective basis for

determining arm’s length pricing.

Profitability benchmarking methods examine the profitability of companies considered to be

comparable to one party in the controlled transaction. The idea behind these methods is that

transfer prices should be set in a manner that leaves one party to the transaction with

profitability that is consistent with the profitability observed in comparable, or “benchmark”

companies. These methods can be reliable when transactional data is not available, and when

one of the two entities in the related party transaction performs only routine functions that can

easily be benchmarked.

Profit split methods are distinguishable from profitability methods in that they are applied by

considering the contributions of both parties in the controlled transaction rather than focusing

only on one party. This method is appropriate for evaluating transactions where economic

profit, or residual profit, is attributable to the contributions of both parties.

E. Methods Available and Additional Considerations for Services

Transactions

1. Overview

In July 2006, the IRS issued temporary and proposed regulations that referenced the services

cost method (recall, the SCM), a new transfer pricing method applicable to certain controlled

services transactions. Such controlled services include back office services that are common

across many industry sectors and typically bear low arm’s length markups on total services

costs. These regulations were made final in 2009.13

Case 2:19-cv-00713-DAK-EJF Document 71-19 Filed 12/13/19 Page 39 of 85

Page | 39

Economics Partners, LLC

www.econpartners.com

Under specified circumstances, the SCM allows the arm's length charge for a controlled services

transaction to be determined by reference to total services costs, without a markup. Two

categories of covered services are potentially eligible for this method: “specified” covered

services and “low-margin” covered services.

To demonstrate that a particular controlled service qualifies for the SCM, the taxpayer, in its

business judgment, must reasonably conclude that the service does not contribute significantly

to key competitive advantages, core capabilities, or fundamental risks of success or failure in

one or more trades or businesses of the renderer, the recipient or both (the “business judgment

rule”). The IRS provides a “white list” of “specified” covered services which can be charged at

cost. These services include payroll, premiums for unemployment, disability, and workers

compensation, accounts receivable, accounts payable, general administrative, corporate and

public relations, meeting coordination and travel planning, accounting and auditing, tax, health,

safety, environment, and regulatory affairs, budgeting, treasury activities, statistical assistance,

staffing and recruiting, training and employee development, benefits, IT services, legal services,

insurance claims management, and purchasing.

Although specified covered services cover a wide range of support activities, the US Treasury

Department and the IRS recognize that the listing may not include the entire universe of low

margin services. In the case of other low margin services, taxpayers may seek to demonstrate

that the services qualify under the alternative mechanism in § 1.482-9(b)(3)(ii), as controlled

services transactions or services for which the median comparable arm’s length markup on total

services costs is less than or equal to seven percent.

Both specified covered services and low margin covered services must also meet the

requirements of the business judgment rule and must not be identified in § 1.482-9(b)(4) as

excluded transactions. The following nine categories of transactions, in whole or in part (the

"Excluded Transactions"), are not covered services (and thus the services are ineligible for the

SCM):

• Manufacturing;

• Production;

• Extraction, exploration or processing of natural resources;

• Construction;

• Reselling, distribution, acting as a sales or purchasing agent, or acting under a

commission or other similar arrangement;

• Research, development, or experimentation;

• Engineering or scientific; and,

• Insurance or reinsurance.

2. Benefit Test

The benefit test is used to determine whether the services being provided should be

compensated. An activity is considered to provide a benefit to the recipient if

Case 2:19-cv-00713-DAK-EJF Document 71-19 Filed 12/13/19 Page 40 of 85

Page | 40

Economics Partners, LLC

www.econpartners.com

the activity directly results in a reasonably identifiable increment of economic or

commercial value that enhances the recipient's commercial position, or that may

reasonably be anticipated to do so. An activity is generally considered to confer a benefit

if, taking into account the facts and circumstances, an uncontrolled taxpayer in

circumstances comparable to those of the recipient would be willing to pay an

uncontrolled party to perform the same or similar activity on either a fixed or contingent-

payment basis, or if the recipient otherwise would have performed for itself the same

activity or a similar activity.14

An activity is not considered to provide a benefit, if the anticipated benefit is so indirect or

remote that the recipient would not be willing to pay an uncontrolled party for the activity.

Second, an activity does not confer a benefit if it is duplicative with an activity performed by the

recipient on its own behalf. Third, an activity does not provide a benefit if the sole effect of that

activity is either to protect the renderer’s capital investment in the recipient or other members of

the controlled group or to facilitate compliance by the renderer with reporting, legal, or

regulatory requirements specifically applicable to the renderer. The activities are also referred

to as shareholder activities. Fourth, a controlled taxpayer generally will not be considered to

obtain a benefit where that benefit results from the controlled taxpayer's status as a member of a

controlled group. This is also referred to as “passive association.”

3. Methods Available for Services Transactions

a) Services Cost Method

The SCM evaluates whether the amount charged for covered services or low margin services is

arm’s length by reference to the total services costs with no markup. In other words, the arm’s

length price of the service is determined by calculating the total costs to provide the service.

The SCM was not applied in the given services transaction in this report due to the nature of the

services being provided. The services did not meet the applicability standards of being a

“covered” service or being a “low-margin” service. . If the SCM method is not applicable for a

given services transaction, then the comparable uncontrolled services price method, gross

services margin method, cost of services plus method, comparable profits method, profit split

method, or an unspecified method may be considered.

b) Comparable Uncontrolled Services Price (“CUSP”) Method

The CUSP method evaluates whether the amount charged in a controlled services transaction is

arm's length by reference to the amount charged in a comparable uncontrolled services

transaction. The comparable uncontrolled services price method is ordinarily used where the

14 Treas. Reg. §1.482-9(l)(3)(i).

Case 2:19-cv-00713-DAK-EJF Document 71-19 Filed 12/13/19 Page 41 of 85

Page | 41

Economics Partners, LLC

www.econpartners.com

controlled services either are identical to or have a high degree of similarity to the services in

the uncontrolled transaction.

c) Gross Services Margin (“GSM”) Method

The GSM method evaluates whether the amount charged in a controlled services transaction is

arm's length by reference to the gross profit margin realized in comparable uncontrolled

transactions. This method ordinarily is used in cases where a controlled taxpayer performs

services or functions in connection with an uncontrolled transaction between a member of the

controlled group and an uncontrolled taxpayer. This method may be used where a controlled

taxpayer renders services (agent services) to another member of the controlled group in

connection with a transaction between that other member and an uncontrolled taxpayer. This

method also may be used in cases where a controlled taxpayer contracts to provide services to

an uncontrolled taxpayer (intermediary function) and another member of the controlled group

actually performs a portion of the services provided.

d) Cost of Services Plus (“CSPL”) Method

The CSPL method evaluates whether the amount charged in a controlled services transaction is

arm's length by reference to the gross services profit markup realized in comparable

uncontrolled transactions. The cost of services plus method is ordinarily used in cases where

the controlled service renderer provides the same or similar services to both controlled and

uncontrolled parties. This method is ordinarily not used in cases where the controlled services

transaction involves a contingent payment arrangement.

e) Comparable Profits Method

The CPM evaluates whether the amount charged in a controlled transaction is arm's length,

based on objective measures of profitability derived from uncontrolled taxpayers that engage in

similar business activities under similar circumstances.

f) Profit Split Method

The PSM evaluates whether the allocation of the combined operating profit or loss attributable

to one or more controlled transactions is arm's length by reference to the relative value of each

controlled taxpayer's contribution to that combined operating profit or loss. The relative value

of each controlled taxpayer's contribution is determined in a manner that reflects the functions

performed, risks assumed, and resources employed by such controlled taxpayer in the relevant

business activity.

g) Unspecified Methods

Finally, an unspecified method should take into account the general principle that uncontrolled

taxpayers evaluate the terms of a transaction by considering the realistic alternatives to that

transaction, including economically similar transactions structured as other than services

www.econpartners.com

transactions, and only enter into a particular transaction if none of the alternatives is preferable

to it.

F. Methods Available for Tangible Goods Transactions

The US Regulations provide specific methods for testing the arm’s length nature of transfers of

tangible property between related parties. These methods include the Comparable

Uncontrolled Price (“CUP”) Method, the Resale Price Method (“RPM”), the Cost Plus (“CP”)

Method, the Comparable Profits Method (recall, CPM), and the Profit Split Method (“PSM”). A

taxpayer may also elect a method that is not specified in the regulations, where none of the

specified methods can reasonably be applied under the facts and circumstances of a particular

case. Each of the methods under the Section 482 regulations is summarized below.

1. Comparable Uncontrolled Price Method

The CUP method refers to the price paid for same or similar property in a transaction between

unrelated parties to determine arm’s length consideration for controlled transactions.15 The

standard of comparability under the CUP method is very high, and a transaction is only

considered comparable if both the tangible property and circumstances surrounding the

controlled transaction are substantially the same as those of the uncontrolled transaction.

Additional factors for determining comparability include the quality of the product, the volume

of sales, the level of the market, the geographic market in which the transaction takes place, the

date the transaction takes place, and alternative commercial arrangements realistically available

to both parties. The US Regulations state that the CUP method, when it can be reasonably

applied on the basis of available data, will ordinarily provide the most accurate measure of an

arm’s length transfer price.

2. Cost Plus Method16

The CP method is applicable when transactions involve manufacturing, assembly or the

production of goods that are sold to related parties. Under this method, an arm’s length price is

equal to the controlled party’s cost of producing the property plus a gross profit markup. The

gross profit markup equals the gross profit in comparable uncontrolled transactions, expressed

as a percentage of cost.

Comparability factors that are relevant to the application of this method are complexity of

manufacturing or assembly; engineering; purchasing and inventory controls; testing; selling,

general and administrative expenses; currency risks; and credit terms. Appropriate

adjustments must be made to the gross profit in uncontrolled transactions to reflect differences

between the uncontrolled and controlled transactions.

www.econpartners.com

3. Resale Price Method17

The RPM measures the value of distribution functions and therefore ordinarily applies when a

distributor purchases and resells tangible property without adding substantial value to the

property by altering it or by using intangible property. This method determines an arm’s

length price for goods by allocating to the controlled party an amount of income on its

distribution function equal to the gross profit margin (gross profit/sales) of a distributor

performing roughly similar functions with respect to purchases and sales with unrelated

parties.

Close physical similarity of the tangible property in the controlled and uncontrolled sales is

desirable but not required. Adjustments to the arm’s length price ultimately obtained after

applying an appropriate gross profit margin may be appropriate to account for differences in

the functions performed and the risks assumed in the controlled and uncontrolled transactions.

4. Comparable Profits Method18

The CPM establishes an arm’s length price for a controlled transfer of tangible or intangible

property by examining the profitability of uncontrolled taxpayers that engage in activities that

are similar to the tested party under comparable circumstances. An arm’s length range of

results is then determined based upon the amount of profit that the tested party would have

earned if the relevant profit level indicator (“PLI”) were equivalent to those of the uncontrolled

taxpayers.

Since the CPM measures the total return on business activities, comparable parties should be

broadly similar; significant product diversity and some functional diversity between controlled

and uncontrolled transactions are acceptable. A reasonable number of adjustments may be

made to the PLIs of the comparable parties to improve consistency and to achieve greater

similarity between comparable companies and the tested party.

As indicated, application of the CPM method requires selection of a “tested party.” The tested

party is the participant in the controlled transaction whose operating profit attributable to the

controlled transactions can be validated using the most reliable data, requiring the fewest and

most reliable adjustments. In addition, the availability of reliable data regarding uncontrolled

comparables affects the determination of the tested party. “Consequently, in most cases the

tested party will be the least complex of the controlled taxpayers and will not own valuable

intangible property or unique assets that distinguish it from potential uncontrolled

comparables.”19

5. Profit Split Method

The PSM “evaluates whether the allocation of the combined operating profit or loss attributable

to one or more controlled transactions is arm’s length by reference to the relative value of each

controlled taxpayer’s contribution to the combined operating profit or loss.”20 The most

narrowly defined business activity of the controlled taxpayer is used to derive the combined

operating profit. To determine the relative value of each party’s contribution to the success of

the relevant business activity, the functions performed, risks assumed, and resources employed

by each must be considered. Under this method, profit is divided among controlled taxpayers

either on the basis of a comparable profit split allocation or a residual profit split allocation.

6. Unspecified Methods

From the standpoint of Section 482, a method that is unspecified in that it is not the CUP

method, the cost-plus method, the resale price method, the CPM method, or the profit split

method can be applied if it provides the most reliable measure of an arm’s length result under

the principles of the best method rule. Unspecified methods are to take into account the general

principle that “information be provided on the prices or profits that the controlled taxpayer

could have realized by choosing a realistic alternative to the controlled transaction.”21

section.

VI. Economic Analysis

EP has elected to use an “Unspecified” method to evaluate the arm’s length nature of Dorado’s

intercompany sales and executive management fees charged to Zurixx US. As such, EP has

employed the use of several methods to build up a final fee charge to benchmark the arm’s

length nature of the transaction in this report. This section will assess and describe the methods

employed and the conclusion of appropriate fees.

A. Executive Management Fees – North America Search

The CPM evaluates whether the amount charged in a controlled transaction is arm’s length by

reference to a measure of profitability (a profit level indicator, or “PLI”) derived from

uncontrolled parties engaged in similar business activities under similar circumstances. For

example, the reported operating profit of a controlled tested party would be compared to the

operating profit it would have earned if its PLI were equal to that of the uncontrolled

comparable companies. The tested party should be the party to the transaction for which

reliable data on the most closely comparable transactions can be identified. It should also be the

party that is the least complex of those involved in the controlled transaction, and that does not

own valuable intangible property or unique assets.

Our application of the CPM to the executive management functions performed by Dorado

comprises the following five steps:

• Selection of the tested party for the analysis;

• Selection of the number of years for comparison;

• Choice of PLI;

• Selection of comparable companies; and,

• Determination of an arm’s length range of results, and comparison to the results of the

controlled transaction under review.

1. Selection of the Tested Party

The tested party should be the participant in the related transactions with the most reliable data,

requiring the fewest and most reliable adjustments, and for which reliable data regarding

uncontrolled comparable companies can be located. Thus, generally the tested party is the

party that is simplest in terms of functions performed and risks assumed. As Dorado is best

characterized as a provider of services to Zurixx US and doesn’t own “non-routine” assets, it is

best characterized as the tested party for this analysis.

2. Selection of Years for Comparison

When applying the CPM, it must be decided whether to compare the financial results of only

the tax year in question or to analyze several years (e.g., using an average over several years).

Multiple year analysis is the appropriate comparison when factors such as business or product

Case 2:19-cv-00713-DAK-EJF Document 71-19 Filed 12/13/19 Page 46 of 85

www.econpartners.com

life cycles, foreign exchange risks, other business risk factors or other influences might have an

effect on the profitability of the comparable company financial results.

Generally, three years of data is used, unless the specific facts of the case warrant a longer

period. Therefore, we have obtained the financial results of comparable companies over a

three-year period corresponding to Zurixx fiscal years 2015-2017.

3. Selection of Profit Level Indicator

In this case, we determined that the operating margin (defined as operating income over net

revenue) provides the most reliable PLI to test the financial results of an entity that provides

routine functions, like executive management services. In light of these considerations, we have

selected the operating margin to evaluate the arm’s length nature of this transaction.

4. Selection of North American Comparable Companies

The CPM was applied to search for and identify North American companies that perform

similar executive management services. As part of the search process, Standard Poor’s Capital

IQ (“Capital IQ”)22 was examined for North American companies that are engaged in broadly

the same industry.

Capital IQ was screened to identify public companies using standard industrial classification

(“SIC”) codes. This system is structured on an industry basis and is used to promote the

comparability of data describing various industries in the economy. Major industry groups are

categorized under two-digit SIC codes. Extensions of these codes to three or four digits indicate

a narrower industry definition. The following wide range of SIC codes were searched in the

database to help identify the largest number of potentially comparable benchmark companies.23

• 73*: Business Services; and,

• 874*: Management and Public Relations services.

This search methodology identified 286,391 companies. Next, the initial set of 286,391

companies was filtered to include only actively operating companies in the United States and

Canada, which returned 54,824 companies. The next filter was applied to include only public

companies, identifying 1,480. Finally, a quantitative screen was applied to the remaining 1,480

companies. The quantitative screen led to the elimination of companies for reasons including:

• No revenue the last three years.

The quantitative screening led to the elimination of 736 companies, leaving 744 companies to be

reviewed qualitatively. For each of these companies, short business descriptions were reviewed,

leading to the elimination of companies for reasons including:

• The company performs significantly different functions than those of the tested party

(e.g., the company performs manufacturing); and,

• The company has a brand name or other intangibles associated.

The screening criteria led to the elimination of 737 companies, leaving 7 remaining comparable

companies.

6. Implementation

As shown in the table above, the three-year weighted average interquartile range of the

operating margin for comparable executive management companies extends from 5.3 percent to

12.9 percent with a median of 9.4 percent. As part of the determination of total applicable fees

charged to Zurixx US, Zurixx opted to use a 10.0 percent operating margin metric to calculate

applicable executive management fees. The applied operating margin of 10.0 percent is within

the arm’s length range of the identified comparable companies. The applied operating margin

of 10.0 percent resulted in an executive management fee of $1.34 million in FY2017. Details

regarding the executive management fee calculation can be found in Appendix D.

B. Registration Fees

Dorado employs local teams to generate sales leads through searches for potential buyers of

Zurixx training programs. Efforts to find sales leads takes place through advertised online

banners and physical mailings. The search process goes through several stages and ultimately

leads to a consumer registering for a Zurixx product. In many cases, it takes several thousand

contacts with a consumer to lead to a product registrant.

In the advertising industry, the cost to acquire customers through qualifying actions (i.e.,

registrations, subscriptions) is referred to as a Cost Per Action (“CPA”) metric. The CPA for any

given product varies by the difficulty of the target market and qualifying action required. This

metric is used to assess the success and cost of acquiring new customers as part of an

advertising campaign. We believe that Dorado performs sales and marketing services that

would be compensated under arrangements if it were to offer these services to external

customers.

1. Summary of Findings

a) Selected Method

The Comparable Uncontrolled Price (“CUP”) as described in the US Transfer Pricing

Regulations was applied to the registration fees of the tested transaction. The CUP method

evaluates the arm’s length price for the Cost Per Actions between Zurixx US and Dorado by

comparing it with the price paid for the same or similar CPA’s in an uncontrolled transaction

with or between unrelated parties.

b) Application of CUP

Employing the CUP methodology, EP benchmarked the covered transaction using a set of

external transactions. Economics Partners searched multiple databases and websites to identify

transactions that affix a cost for actionable items (i.e., registrations, subscriptions) in an

advertising campaign that is broadly similar to Dorado’s services in this transaction.

c) Arm’s Length Results

After performing an extensive search, EP found sufficiently comparable CPA metrics that

closely resembled that of Dorado. The various CPA metrics were then analyzed to create a

range of possible prices per registrants. Table Nine below lists the CPA sources as well as the

construction of pricing ranges.

Table 8: CPA Metrics for Comparable Sales and Marketing Services

a) Implementation

As shown in the table above, the interquartile range of CPA metrics for comparable sales and

marketing services extends from $22.10 to $86.45 per CPA with a median of $50.60. As part of

the determination of total applicable fees charged to Zurixx US, Zurixx selected the median

CPA metric to calculate applicable registration fees. The applied CPA of $50.60 resulted in a

total registration fee of $42.41 million in FY2017. In calculating the total built up applicable fees

to Zurixx US, Zurixx elected to use the range of possible registration fees to show a range of

charges that could be applied to Zurixx US. This presentation will be discussed in the final

buildup of applicable fees at the end of this section. Details regarding the calculation of

registration fees can be found in Appendix E.

C. Legal Fees

Dorado employs a small legal team to review workshops, events, online content and coaching

sessions that teach students how to invest in real estate and entrepreneurship opportunities.

The Dorado legal team reviews workshop transcripts and documents to protect Zurixx from

any legal action and to ensure legal compliance. The PR legal team also reviews telephone

transcripts from coaching sessions and the customer service teams. These legal fees are charged

to Zurixx US as a legal assessment fee.

1. Summary of Findings

a) Selected Method

The Comparable Uncontrolled Price (“CUP”) as described in the US Transfer Pricing

Regulations was applied to the legal fees of the tested transaction. The CUP method evaluates

the arm’s length price for legal fees between Zurixx US and Dorado by comparing it with the

prices paid for the same or similar legal services in uncontrolled transactions with or between

unrelated parties.

b) Application of CUP

Employing the CUP methodology, EP benchmarked the covered transaction using a set of

external transactions. Economics Partners searched multiple databases and websites to identify

transactions that publish legal rates for services that are broadly similar to Dorado’s legal

department in this transaction.

c) Arm’s Length Results

After performing an extensive search, EP found sufficiently comparable legal rates that

compensate and closely resemble the functions of Dorado. The various legal rates were then

analyzed to create a range of possible legal fee rates. Table 9en below lists the sources as well as

the range of legal rates.

d) Implementation

As shown in the table above, the interquartile range of legal rates for comparable legal services

extends from $79.75 per hour to $365.00 per hour with a median of $162.24. As part of the

determination of total applicable fees charged to Zurixx US, Zurixx selected the average

attorney legal rate to calculate applicable legal fees. The legal counsel employed at Dorado

holds a JD designation and regularly works on complex issues related to compliance, contracts

and legal defense. Due to the nature and complexity of the work involved, Zurixx felt it

appropriate to charge a rate that is commensurate with an attorney’s experience and expertise.

The applied rate of $357.50 resulted in a total legal fee of $.50 million in FY2017. Details

regarding this calculation can be found in Appendix F.

D. Workshop Recruitment Fees

Dorado employs a recruitment team to actively identify and recruit trained presenters for its

workshops, events and coaching sessions. The search process is comprehensive and requires a

great deal of effort to identify individuals with a unique combination of interpersonal and

business skills to successfully present and engage with students. Dorado functions as a

recruitment center where they contact and contract with qualified speakers for specified

engagements. The recruitment industry is typically compensated as a percentage of gross

earnings of the recruited individual. Zurixx charges a recruitment fee to Zurixx US for its

recruitment services.

for the industry. The recruitment rates identified define compensation rates as a percentage of

the gross annual salary of the recruited individual. Recruitment fees are assessed as a one-time

charge upon the successful hire of the job candidate. Table 10Eleven below lists the sources as

well as the range of recruitment rates.

Table 10: Recruitment Rates

d) Implementation

As shown in the table above, the interquartile range of recruitment rates for comparable

recruiting services extends from 22.0 percent to 25.3 percent with a median of 25.1 percent. As

part of the determination of total applicable fees charged to Zurixx US, Zurixx selected the

median recruitment rate to calculate applicable recruiter fees. The applied rate of 25.1 percent

resulted in a total recruitment fee of $1.26 million in FY2017. Details regarding this calculation

can be found in Appendix G.

E. Celebrity Management Fees

Dorado manages celebrity speakers for workshops, events and coaching sessions. Dorado is

responsible for managing the celebrity relationships, much like an agent does for athletes or a

musician, which demands a great deal of time and effort. Dorado is in frequent contact with the

signed celebrities and is responsible for addressing matters of compensation, contractual

obligations and how the celebrities’ brand is being used to market seminars. The celebrity

agency industry is typically compensated as a percentage of gross earnings of the celebrity in

question. Dorado charges a celebrity agent or management fee to Zurixx US for its services. In

addition, Zurixx US maintains a reserve for legal costs and sales declines in the event of

deteriorating celebrity image and relationships. Zurixx US is responsible for compensating

celebrity management fees regardless of the potential efficacy of the celebrity endorsements. To

that effect, Zurixx US manages considerable celebrity management risk.

1. Summary of Findings

a) Selected Method

The Comparable Uncontrolled Transaction (“CUT”) as described in the US Transfer Pricing

Regulations was applied to the recruitment fees of the tested transaction. The CUT method

evaluates the arm’s length rate for management fees between Zurixx US and Dorado by

comparing it with the rates paid for the same or similar agency services in uncontrolled

transactions with or between unrelated parties.

b) Application of CUT

Employing the CUT methodology, EP benchmarked the covered transaction using third-party

transactions. Economics Partners searched multiple databases and websites to identify

transactions that publish agency rates for services that are broadly similar to Dorado’s celebrity

management activities addressed in this transaction.

c) Arm’s Length Results

After performing an extensive search, EP found a sufficiently comparable agency rate that

compensates for celebrity management functions that Dorado performs. Within the performing

arts and celebrity industries, it is common for artists’ interests to be protected and represented

through workers unions or guilds. In particular, the Screen Actors Guild - American Federation

of Television and Radio Artists (“SAG-AFTRA”) was formed in the 1930’s to accomplish this

task. As part of its mission statement and membership, SAG-AFTRA established a celebrity

agency rate cap of 10.0 percent of gross proceeds to govern agents and management agencies.

The celebrities that Zurixx contracts with are performers and artists that would adhere to this

code to protect their interests.

d) Implementation

As part of the determination of total applicable fees charged to Zurixx US, Zurixx selected a 10.0

percent agency rate to calculate applicable management fees. The applied rate of 10.0 percent to

total celebrity income resulted in a total agent management fee of $.81 million in FY2017. Details

regarding this calculation can be found in Appendix H.

VII. Conclusion

A. Overview of Transaction

The intercompany transaction at issue in this report is the provision of certain sales and

executive management services from Dorado Marketing & Management, LLC Puerto Rico

(“Dorado”) to Zurixx, LLC (“Zurixx US”). During FY 2017, Dorado charged sales and executive

management services fees to Zurixx US in consideration of these services.

B. Summary of Findings

1. Executive Management Fees

As part of the determination of total applicable fees charged to Zurixx US, Zurixx opted to use a

10.0 percent operating margin metric to calculate applicable executive management fees. The

three-year weighted average interquartile range of the operating margin for comparable

executive management companies extends from 5.3 percent to 12.9 percent with a median of 9.4

percent. The applied operating margin of 10.0 percent is within the arm’s length range of the

identified comparable companies. The applied operating margin of 10.0 percent resulted in an

executive management fee of $1.34 million in FY2017. Details regarding the executive

management fee calculation can be found in Appendix D.

2. Registration Fees

As part of the determination of total applicable fees charged to Zurixx US, Zurixx selected the

median CPA metric to calculate applicable registration fees. The applied CPA of $50.60 resulted

in a total registration fee of $42.41 million in FY2017. Details regarding the calculation of

registration fees can be found in Appendix E.

3. Legal Fees

As part of the determination of total applicable fees charged to Zurixx US, Zurixx selected the

average attorney legal rate to calculate applicable legal fees. The applied rate of $350.00 resulted

in a total legal fee of $.50 million in FY2017. Details regarding this calculation can be found in

Appendix F.

4. Workshop Recruitment Fees

As part of the determination of total applicable fees charged to Zurixx US, Zurixx selected the

median recruitment rate to calculate applicable recruiter fees. The applied rate of 25.1 percent

resulted in a total recruitment fee of $1.26 million in FY2017. Details regarding this calculation

can be found in Appendix G.

5. Celebrity Management Fees

As part of the determination of total applicable fees charged to Zurixx US, Zurixx selected a 10.0

percent agency rate to calculate applicable management fees. The applied rate of 10.0 percent

resulted in a total agent management fee of $.81 million in FY2017. Details regarding this

calculation can be found in Appendix H.

6. Total Fees

The fees previously described all constitute applicable fees from Dorado to Zurixx US for the

provision of certain sales and executive management services. The methodologies employed

and rate have determined a total median charge of $46.32 million in FY2017. Using the range of

applicable registration fees, the range of total charges extends from $20.74 million to $76.37

million. Actual charges billed by Zurixx in FY2017 totaled $21.14 million. This result is below

the benchmarked fee calculation of $47.19 million and is considered arm’s-length. Details

regarding this calculation can be found in Appendix I.
