INFORMATION
REQUIRED IN REGISTRATION STATEMENT
CAUTION
REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
All
statements contained in this Form 10, other than statements of historical facts,
which address future activities, events or developments, are forward-looking
statements, including, but not limited to, statements containing the words
"believe," "anticipate," "expect" and words of similar
import. These statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by
us in light of our experience and our assessment of historical trends, current
conditions and expected future developments as well as other factors we believe
are appropriate under the circumstances. However, whether actual
results will conform to the expectations and predictions of management is
subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to
differ materially.
Consequently,
all of the forward-looking statements made in this Form 10 are qualified by
these cautionary statements and there can be no assurance that the actual
results anticipated by management will be realized or, even if substantially
realized, that they will have the expected consequences to or effects on our
business operations.
As used
in this Form 10, unless the context requires otherwise, "we" or "us" or “us"
means Plantation Lifecare Developers, Inc.
Item
1. Business
We (or
the “Company”) were incorporated as “Continental Exchange Corporation” in the
State of Delaware on October 26, 1927.
Later
that year, we changed our name to “Northern Exchange
Corporation”. Our original purpose was to use our acquired capital to
merge with or acquire any other lawful business or enterprise, the nature of
which was left unstated. Being unable to achieve this intended
purpose, we ceased operations and became dormant in 1943, having no assets or
liabilities.
We
remained in this condition until, December 30, 1980, when we were reinstated in
the State of Delaware and our corporate name was changed to “Everest
International Incorporated”. In 1988, our name was once again changed
to “Comstock Resources Corporation” and then to “Comstock International,
Inc.”. In 2000, our name was changed to “Copernicus International,
Inc.”.
On
October 29 2001, pursuant to an Agreement of Merger we merged into Plantation
Lifecare Developers, Inc., a Delaware developing stage company, with the
surviving corporation being Plantation Lifecare Developers, Inc.
On
November 8, 2001, a certificate of Merger and Amended and Restated Certificate
of Incorporation were filed with the State of Delaware. We intended to construct
and operate life care communities which combine modern, specially
designed resort villas, access to assisted-care living and modern
skilled nursing hospitals in the Caribbean and South America. Since 2001, we had
not commenced planned principal operations.
On
October 29, 2008 a Certificate of Revival and Renewal was filed with the State
of Delaware.
We have
never been a reporting company. For the past 28 years, we have been
dormant company, and accordingly, a development stage company, having not
attained any significant revenue or operations.
We are
voluntarily filing this Registration Statement on Form 10 to register the
Company’s common stock under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the "Exchange Act").
We are presently
seeking a merger, acquisition or other business combination transaction with a
privately owned entity seeking to become a publicly owned entity. Our current
principal business activity is to seek a suitable acquisition candidate through
acquisition, merger, reverse merger or other suitable business combination
method.
As a
"reporting company," we may be more attractive to a private acquisition target
because our common stock is eligible to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board
although there is no assurance it will be quoted. As a result of
filing this registration statement, we will be obligated to file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") certain periodic reports,
including an annual report containing audited financial
statements. We anticipate that we will continue to file such reports
as required under the Exchange Act.
We are a
shell company as defined under Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act in that we are a
registrant, other than an asset-backed issuer, that have 1) no or nominal
operations; and 2) either i) no or nominal assets; ii) assets consisting solely
of cash and cash equivalents; or iii) assets consisting of any amount of cash
and cash equivalents and nominal other assets.
Private
companies wishing to become publicly traded may wish to merge with a shell
company like us through a reverse merger or reverse acquisition transaction
whereby the shareholders of the private company become the majority of the
shareholders of the combined company. The private company may
purchase for cash all or a portion of the common shares of the shell corporation
from its major stockholders. Typically, the board and officers of the
private company become the new board and officers of the combined company and
often the name of the private company becomes the name of the combined
entity.
We have
very limited capital, and it is unlikely that we will be able to take advantage
of more than one such business opportunity. We intend to seek
opportunities demonstrating the potential of long-term growth. Now,
we have not yet identified any business opportunity that we plan to pursue, nor
have we reached any agreement or definitive understanding with any person
concerning an acquisition.
No direct
discussions are expected to occur until after the effective date of this
registration statement. No assurance can be given that we will be successful in
finding or acquiring a desirable business opportunity, given
the limited funds that are expected to be available for acquisitions
Furthermore, no assurance can be given that any acquisition, which does occur,
will be on terms that are favorable to us or our current
stockholders
Our
search will be directed toward small and medium-sized enterprises, which have a
desire to become public corporations. In addition, these enterprises
may wish to satisfy, either currently or in the reasonably near future, the
minimum tangible asset requirement in order to qualify shares for trading on
NASDAQ or on an exchange such as the NYSE Alternext U.S. (See the subsection of
this Item 1 called “Investigation and Selection of
Business Opportunities").
We
anticipate that the business opportunities presented to us will either (i) be in
the process of formation, or be recently organized with limited operating
history or a history of losses attributable to under-capitalization or other
factors; (ii) experiencing financial or operating difficulties; (iii) be in need
of funds to develop new products or services or
to expand into a
new market, or have plans for rapid expansion through
acquisition of competing businesses; or (iv) has other similar
characteristics.
We intend
to concentrate our acquisition efforts on properties or businesses that we
believe to be undervalued or that we believe may realize a substantial benefit
from being publicly owned. Given the above factors, investors should
expect that any acquisition candidate might have little or no operating history,
or a history of losses or low profitability.
We do not propose to
restrict our search for investment
opportunities to any particular geographical area or industry, and may,
therefore, engage in essentially any business, to the extent of our limited
resources. Our discretion in the selection of business opportunities
is unrestricted, subject to the availability of such opportunities, economic
conditions and other factors.
As a
consequence of the registration of our securities, any entity which has an
interest in being acquired by, or merging into the Company, is expected to be an
entity that desires to become a public company and establish a public trading
market for its securities. In connection with such a merger or
acquisition, it is highly likely that an amount of stock constituting control of
the Company would either be issued by the Company or be purchased from the
current principal stockholders of the Company by the acquiring entity or its
affiliates. If stock is purchased from the current principal
stockholders, the transaction is likely to result in substantial gains to the
current principal stockholders relative to their purchase price for such
stock. In the Company's judgment, none of the officers and directors
would thereby become an underwriter within the meaning of the Section 2(11) of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as long as the transaction is a private
transaction rather than a public distribution of securities. The sale of a
controlling interest by certain principal stockholders of the Company would
occur at a time when minority stockholders are unable to sell their shares
because of the lack of a public market for such shares.
Depending
upon the nature of the transaction, our current officers and directors may
resign their management and board positions in connection with a change of
control or acquisition of a business opportunity (see the subsection of this
Item 1 called "Form of
Acquisition" and Item 1A "Risk Factors"). In
the event of such a resignation, our current management would thereafter have no
control over the conduct of the Company's business.
It is
anticipated that business opportunities will come to our attention from various
sources, including our officers and directors, our other
stockholders, professional advisors such as
attorneys and accountants, securities broker-dealers, venture
capitalists, members of the financial community and others who may present
unsolicited proposals. We have no plans, understandings, agreements, or
commitments with any individual for such person to act as a finder of
opportunities for us.
INVESTIGATION
AND SELECTION OF BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES
To a
large extent, a decision to participate in a specific business opportunity may
be made upon management’s analysis of the quality of the other company’s
management and personnel, the anticipated acceptability of new
products or marketing concepts, the merit of technological changes, the
perceived benefit the business opportunity will derive from becoming a publicly
held entity, and numerous other factors which are difficult, if not impossible,
to analyze through the application of any objective criteria. In many instances,
it
is anticipated that the historical operations of
a specific business opportunity may not necessarily be
indicative of the potential for the future because of a variety of factors,
including, but not limited to, the possible need to expand substantially, shift
marketing approaches, change product emphasis, change or substantially augment
management, raise capital and the like.
It is
anticipated that we will not be able to diversify, but will essentially be
limited to the acquisition of one business opportunity because of our limited
financing. This lack of diversification will not permit us to offset
potential losses from one business opportunity against profits from another, and
should be considered an adverse factor affecting any decision to purchase our
securities.
Certain
types of business acquisition transactions may be completed without
any requirement that we first submit the transaction
to the stockholders for their approval. In the event the proposed
transaction is structured in such a fashion that stockholder approval is not
required, holders of our securities (other than principal stockholders holding a
controlling interest) should not anticipate that they would be provided with
financial statements or any other documentation prior to the completion of the
transaction. Other types of transactions may require prior approval
of the stockholders.
In the
event a proposed business combination or business acquisition transaction
requires stockholder approval, we will be required to prepare a Proxy or
Information Statement describing the proposed transaction, file it with the
Securities and Exchange Commission for review and approval, and mail a copy of
it to all our stockholders prior to holding a stockholder meeting for purposes
of voting on the proposal or if no stockholders meeting will be held, prior to
consummating the proposed transaction. Minority shareholders may have the
right, in the event the transaction is approved by the required number of
stockholders, to exercise statutory dissenter’s rights and elect to be paid the
fair value of their shares.
The
analysis of business opportunities will be undertaken by or under the
supervision of our
officers and directors, none of whom are
professional business analysts (See the section of this Item 2 called
"Management"). Although
there are no current plans to do so, our management might hire an outside
consultant to assist in the investigation and selection of business
opportunities, and might pay a finder's fee. Since our management has no current
plans to use any outside consultants or advisors to assist in the investigation
and selection of business opportunities, no policies have been adopted regarding
use of such consultants or advisors, the criteria to be used in selecting such
consultants or advisors, the services to be provided, the term of service, or
the total amount of fees that may be paid. However, due to our
limited resources, it is likely that any such fee we agree to pay would be paid
in stock and not in cash.
Otherwise,
in analyzing potential business opportunities, our management anticipates that
it will consider, among other things, the following factors:
·
|
Potential
for growth and profitability indicated by new technology, anticipated
market expansion, or new products;
|
·
|
Our
perception of how any particular business opportunity will be received by
the investment community and by our
stockholders;
|
·
|
Whether,
following the business combination, the financial condition of the
business opportunity would be, or would have a significant prospect in the
near future of becoming, sufficient to enable the securities of the
Company to qualify for listing on an exchange or on a national automated
securities quotation system, such as NASDAQ, so as to permit the trading
of such securities to be exempt from the requirements of Rule 15g-9
adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (See the subsection of
this Item 1A called "Risk
Factors - Regulation of Penny
Stocks");
|
·
|
Capital
requirements and anticipated availability of required funds, to be
provided by the Company or from operations, through the sale of additional
securities, through joint ventures or similar arrangements, or from other
sources;
|
·
|
The
extent to which the business opportunity can be
advanced;
|
·
|
Competitive
position as compared to other companies of similar size and experience
within the industry segment as well as within the industry as a
whole;
|
·
|
Strength
and diversity of existing management or management prospects that are
scheduled for recruitment;
|
·
|
The
cost of participation by the Company as compared to the perceived tangible
and intangible values and potential;
and
|
·
|
The
accessibility of required management expertise, personnel, raw materials,
services, professional assistance, and other required
items.
|
We
are unable to
predict when we may participate in a business opportunity. We expect,
however, that the analysis of specific proposals and the selection of a business
opportunity may take several months or more.
Prior to
making a decision to participate in a business opportunity, we will generally
request that we be provided with written materials regarding the business
opportunity containing as much relevant information as possible, including, but
not limited to, such items as a description of products, services and company
history; management resumes; financial information; available projections, with
related assumptions upon which they are based; an explanation of proprietary
products and services; evidence of existing patents, trademarks, or service
marks, or rights thereto; present and proposed forms of compensation to
management; a description of transactions between such company and its
affiliates during the relevant periods; a description of present and required
facilities; an analysis of risks and competitive conditions; a financial plan of
operation and estimated capital requirements; audited financial statements, or
if they are not available, un-audited financial statements, together with
reasonable assurance that audited financial statements would be able to be
produced within a reasonable period not to exceed 60 days following completion
of a merger or acquisition transaction; and the like.
As part
of our investigation, our executive officers and directors may meet personally
with management and key personnel, may visit moreover, inspect material
facilities; obtain independent analysis or verification of certain information
provided, check references of management and key personnel, in addition, take
other reasonable investigative measures, to the extent of our limited financial
resources and management expertise.
It is
possible that the range of business opportunities that might be available for
consideration by the Company could be limited by the impact of Securities and
Exchange Commission regulations regarding purchase and sale of penny stocks. The
regulations would affect, and possibly impair, any market that might develop in
our securities until such time as they qualify for listing on NASDAQ or on an
exchange which would make them exempt from applicability of the penny stock
regulations. (see the subsection of this Item 1A called "Risk Factors - Regulation of Penny
Stocks").
We
believe that various types of potential merger or acquisition candidates might
find a business combination with us to be attractive. These include acquisition
candidates desiring to create a public market for their shares in order to
enhance liquidity for current stockholders, acquisition candidates, which have
long-term plans for raising capital through public sale of securities and
believe that the possible prior existence of a public market for their
securities would be beneficial, and acquisition candidates which plan to acquire
additional assets through issuance of securities rather than for cash, and
believe that the possibility of development of a public market for their
securities will be of assistance in that process. Acquisition candidates, who
have a need for an immediate cash infusion, are not likely to find a potential
business combination with us to be an attractive alternative.
FORM
OF ACQUISITION
It is
impossible to predict the manner in which we may participate in a business
opportunity. Specific business opportunities will be reviewed as well as the
respective needs and desires of the Company and the promoters of the opportunity
and, upon the basis of our review and the relative negotiating strength and such
promoters, the legal structure or method deemed by management to be suitable
will be selected. Such structure may include, but is not limited to, leases,
purchase and sale agreements, licenses, joint ventures and other contractual
arrangements. We may act directly or indirectly through an interest in a
partnership, corporation or other form of organization. Implementing such
structure may require the merger, consolidation or reorganization of the Company
with other corporations or forms of business organization. In addition, the
present management and stockholders of the Company most likely will not have
control of a majority of the voting stock of the Company following a merger or
reorganization transaction. As part of such a transaction, our existing
directors may resign and new directors may be appointed without any vote by
stockholders.
It is
likely that we will acquire our participation in a business opportunity through
the issuance of common stock or other securities of the Company. Although the
terms of any such transaction cannot be predicted, it should be noted that in
certain circumstances the criteria for determining whether or not an acquisition
is a so-called B tax free reorganization under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986
as amended, depends upon the issuance to the stockholders of the acquired
company of a controlling interest (i.e., 80% or more) of the common stock of the
combined entities immediately following the reorganization. If a transaction
were structured to take advantage of these provisions rather than other tax-free
provisions provided under the Internal Revenue Code, our current stockholders
would retain taken together 20% or less of the total issued and outstanding
shares. This could result in substantial additional dilution in the equity of
those who were stockholders of the Company prior to such reorganization. Any
such issuance of additional shares might also be done simultaneously with a sale
or transfer of shares representing a controlling interest in the Company by the
current officers, directors and principal stockholders.
It is
anticipated that any new securities issued in any reorganization would be issued
in reliance upon one or more exemptions from registration under applicable
federal and state securities laws to the extent that such exemptions are
available. In some circumstances, however, as a negotiated element of the
transaction, we may agree to register such securities either at the time the
transaction is consummated or under certain conditions at specified times
thereafter. The issuance of substantial additional securities and their
potential sale into any trading market that might develop in our securities may
have a depressive effect upon such market.
We will
participate in a business opportunity only after the negotiation and execution
of a written agreement. Although the terms of such agreement cannot be
predicted, generally such an agreement would require specific representations
and warranties by all of the parties thereto, specify certain events of default,
detail the terms of closing and the conditions which must be satisfied by each
of the parties thereto prior to such closing, outline the manner of bearing
costs if the transaction is not closed, set forth remedies upon default, and
include miscellaneous other terms.
As a
general matter, we anticipate that we, and/or our principal stockholders will
enter into a letter of intent with the management, principals or owners of a
prospective business opportunity prior to signing a binding agreement. Such a
letter of intent will set forth the terms of the proposed acquisition but will
not bind any of the parties to consummate the transaction. Execution of a letter
of intent will by no means indicate that consummation of an acquisition is
probable. Neither we nor any of the other parties to the letter of intent will
be bound to consummate the acquisition unless and until a definitive agreement
is executed. Even after a definitive agreement is executed, it is possible that
the acquisition would not be consummated should any party elect to exercise any
right provided in the agreement to terminate it on specific
grounds.
It is
anticipated that the investigation of specific business opportunities and the
negotiation, drafting and execution of relevant agreements, disclosure documents
and other instruments will require substantial management time and attention and
substantial costs for accountants, attorneys and others. If a decision is made
not to participate in a specific business opportunity, the costs incurred in the
related investigation would not be recoverable. Moreover, because many providers
of goods and services require compensation at the time or soon after the goods
and services are provided, our inability to pay until an indeterminate future
time may make it impossible to produce goods and services.
COMPETITION
We expect
to encounter substantial competition in our efforts to locate attractive
business combination opportunities. The competition may in part come from
business development companies, venture capital partnerships and corporations,
small investment companies, brokerage firms, and the like. Some of these types
of organizations are likely to be in a better position than us to obtain access
to attractive business acquisition candidates either because they have greater
experience, resources and managerial capabilities than us, because they are able
to offer immediate access to limited amounts of cash, or for a variety of other
reasons. We also will experience competition from other public companies with
similar business purposes, some of which may also have funds available for use
by an acquisition candidate.
EMPLOYEES
We
currently have no employees. We expect to use consultants, attorneys and
accountants as necessary, and do not anticipate a need to engage any full-time
employees so long as we are seeking and evaluating business opportunities. The
need for employees and their availability will be addressed in connection with
the decision whether or not to acquire or participate in specific business
opportunities.
Item
1A. Risk
Factors
Our
business and plan of operation is subject to numerous risk factors, including,
but not limited to, the following:
Our
limited operating history makes its potential difficult to assess.
We have
no assets or financial resources. We will, in all likelihood, continue to
sustain operating expenses without corresponding revenue, at least until the
consummation of a business combination. This will most likely result in the
Company incurring a net operating loss, which will increase continuously until
we can consummate a business combination with a target company. There is no
assurance that we can identify such a target company and consummate such a
business combination.
We
have no agreement for a business combination and no minimum requirements for a
business combination.
We
have no current
arrangement, agreement or understanding with respect to engaging in a business
combination with a specific entity. There can be no assurance that we will be
successful in identifying and evaluating suitable business opportunities
or in concluding a business combination. No particular industry or specific
business within an industry has been selected for a target company. We have not
established a specific length of operating history or a specified level of
earnings, assets, net worth or other criteria which we will require a target
company to have achieved, or without which we would not consider a business
combination with such business entity. Accordingly, we may enter into a business
combination with a business entity having no significant operating history,
losses, limited or no potential for immediate earnings, limited assets, negative
net worth or other negative characteristics. There is no assurance that we will
be able to negotiate a business combination on terms favorable to
us.
There
is no assurance of success or profitability of the Company.
There is
no assurance that we will acquire a favorable business opportunity. Even
if we should become involved in a business opportunity, there is no assurance
that we will generate revenue or profits, or that the market price of our
outstanding shares will be increased thereby. The type of business to be
acquired may be one that desires to avoid effecting its own public offering and
the accompanying expense, delays, uncertainties and federal and state
requirements which purport to protect investors. Because of our limited capital,
it is more likely than not that any acquisition by the Company will involve
other parties whose primary interest is the acquisition of control of a publicly
traded company. Moreover, any business opportunity acquired may be currently
unprofitable or present other negative factors.
We
may not be able to diversify its business.
Because
we have limited financial resources, it is unlikely that we will be able to
diversify our acquisitions or operations. Our probable inability to diversify
our activities into more than one area will subject us to economic fluctuations
within a particular business or industry and therefore increase the risks
associated with our operations.
We
have only one director and officer.
Because
management consists of only one person, while seeking a business combination,
Joseph C. Passalaqua, the President of the Company, will be the only person
responsible in conducting the day-to-day operations of the Company. We do not
benefit from having access to multiple judgments that a greater number of
directors or officers would provide, and we will rely completely on the judgment
of our one officer and director when selecting a target company. Mr. Passalaqua
anticipates devoting only a limited amount of time per month to the business of
the Company. Mr. Passalaqua has not entered into a written employment agreement
with the Company and he is not expected to do so. We do not anticipate obtaining
key man life insurance on Mr. Passalaqua. The loss of the services of Mr.
Passalaqua would adversely affect development of our business and our likelihood
of continuing operations.
We
depend on management and management's participation is limited.
We will
be entirely dependent upon the experience of our officers and directors in
seeking, investigating, and acquiring a business and in making decisions
regarding our operations. It is possible that, from time to time, the inability
of such persons to devote their full time attention to the Company will cause
the Company to lose an opportunity.
Conflicts
of interest exist between the Company and its management.
Certain
conflicts of interest exist between the Company and its officer and director. He
has other business interests to which he currently devotes attention, and is
expected to continue to do so. As a result, conflicts of interest may arise that
can be resolved only through his exercise of judgment in a manner that is
consistent with his fiduciary duties to the Company.
It is
anticipated that our principal stockholders may actively negotiate or otherwise
consent to the purchase of a portion of their common stock as a condition to, or
in connection with, a proposed merger or acquisition transaction. In this
process, our principal stockholders may consider their own personal pecuniary
benefit rather than the best interest of other Company shareholders. Depending
upon the nature of a proposed transaction, Company stockholders other than the
principal stockholders may not be afforded the opportunity to approve or consent
to a particular transaction.
We
may need additional financing.
We have
very limited funds, and such funds, may not be adequate to take advantage of any
available business opportunities. Even if our currently available funds prove to
be sufficient to pay for our operations until we are able to acquire an interest
in, or complete a transaction with, a business opportunity, such funds will
clearly not be sufficient to enable it to exploit the opportunity. Thus, the
ultimate success of the Company will depend, in part, upon our availability to
raise additional capital. In the event that we require modest amounts of
additional capital to fund its operations until we are able to complete a
business acquisition or transaction, such funds, are expected to be provided by
the principal shareholders. However, we have not investigated the availability,
source, or terms that might govern the acquisition of the additional capital,
which is expected to be required in order to exploit a business opportunity, and
will not do so until we have determined the level of need for such additional
financing. There is no assurance that additional capital will be available from
any source or, if available, that it can be obtained on terms acceptable to the
Company. If not available, our operations will be limited to those that can be
financed with our modest capital.
We
may need to depend upon outside advisors.
To
supplement the business experience of our officer and director, we may be
required to employ accountants, technical experts, appraisers, attorneys, or
other consultants or advisors. The selection of any such advisors will be made
by our officers, without any input by shareholders. Furthermore, it is
anticipated that such persons may be engaged on an as needed basis without a
continuing fiduciary or other obligation to the Company. In the event the
officers of the Company consider it necessary to hire outside advisors, they may
elect to hire persons who are affiliates, if those affiliates are able to
provide the required services.
REGULATION
OF PENNY STOCKS
The
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission") has adopted a number of
rules to regulate “penny stocks." Such rules include Rule 3a51-1 and Rules 15g-1
through 15g-9 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Because our
securities may constitute “penny stocks" within the meaning of the rules (as any
equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an
exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, largely traded in the National
Association of Securities Dealers’ (NASD) OTC Bulletin Board or the "Pink
Sheets", the rules may apply to us and to our securities.
The
Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 that established sales practice requirements
low price securities. Unless the transaction is, exempt, it shall be unlawful
for a broker or dealer to sell a penny stock to, or to effect the purchase of a
penny stock by, any person unless prior to the transaction: (i) the broker or
dealer has approved the person’s account for transactions in penny stock
pursuant to this rule and (ii) the broker or dealer has received from the person
a written agreement to the transaction setting forth the identity and quantity
of the penny stock to be purchased.
In order
to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stock, the broker or
dealer must: (a) obtain from the person information concerning the person's
financial situation, investment experience, and investment objectives; (b)
reasonably determine that transactions in penny stock are suitable for that
person, and that the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial
matters that the person reasonably may be expected to be capable of evaluating
the risks of transactions in penny stock; (c) deliver to the person a written
statement setting forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the
determination (i) stating in a highlighted format that it is unlawful for the
broker or dealer to affect a transaction in penny stock unless the broker or
dealer has received, prior to the transaction, a written agreement to the
transaction from the person; and (ii) stating in a highlighted format
immediately preceding the customer signature line that (iii) the broker or
dealer is required to provide the person with the written statement; and (iv)
the person should not sign and return the written statement to the broker or
dealer if it does not accurately reflect the person’s financial situation,
investment experience, and investment objectives; and (d) receive from the
person a manually signed and dated copy of the written
statement.
It is
also required that disclosure be made as to the risks of investing in penny
stock and the commissions payable to the broker-dealer, as well as current price
quotations and the remedies and rights available in cases of fraud in penny
stock transactions. Statements, on a monthly basis, must be sent to the investor
listing recent prices for the Penny Stock and information on the limited market.
Shareholders should be aware that, according to Securities and Exchange
Commission Release No. 34-29093, the market for penny stocks has suffered in
recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (i) control
of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often
related to the promoter or issuer; (ii) manipulation of prices through
prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press
releases; (iii) "boiler room" practices involving high-pressure sales tactics
and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (iv) excessive
and undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by selling broker-dealers; and
(v) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker dealers
after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting
inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses. We are
aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market.
Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the
market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, we will strive within
the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from
being established with respect to our securities.
We
may have significant competition for business opportunities and combinations and
may be at a competitive disadvantage in completing a business
combination.
We are
and will continue to be an insignificant participant in the business of seeking
mergers with and acquisitions of business entities. A large number of
established and well-financed entities, including venture capital firms are
active in mergers and acquisitions of companies. Nearly all such entities have
significantly greater financial resources, technical expertise and managerial
capabilities than us and, consequently, we will be at a competitive disadvantage
in identifying possible business opportunities and successfully completing a
business combination. Moreover, we will also compete in seeking merger or
acquisition candidates with other public shell companies, some of which may also
have funds available for use by an acquisition candidate.
The
reporting requirements imposed upon us may delay or preclude our ability to
enter into a business combination.
Pursuant
to the requirements of Section 13 of the Exchange Act, we are required to
provide certain information about significant acquisitions including audited
financial statements of the acquired company. Because we are a shell company,
these audited financial statements must be furnished within four business days
following the effective date of a business combination. Obtaining audited
financial statements are the economic responsibility of the target company. The
additional time and costs that may be incurred by some potential target
companies to prepare such financial statements may significantly delay or
essentially preclude consummation of an otherwise desirable acquisition by us.
Acquisition prospects that do not have or are unable to obtain the required
audited statements may not be appropriate for acquisition so long as the
reporting requirements of the Exchange Act are applicable. Notwithstanding a
target company’s agreement to obtain audited financial statements within the
required time frame, such audited financials may not be available to us at the
time of effecting a business combination. In cases where audited financials are
unavailable, we will have to rely upon un-audited information that has not been
verified by outside auditors in making our decision to engage in a transaction
with the business entity. This risk increases the prospect that a business
combination with such a business entity might prove to be an unfavorable one for
us.
We
lack market research and a marketing organization.
We have
neither conducted, nor have others made available to it, market research
indicating that demand exists for the transactions contemplated by the Company.
In the event demand exists for a transaction of the type contemplated by the
Company, there is no assurance the Company will be successful in completing any
such business combination.
It
is probable that there will be a change in control of the Company and/or
management.
In
conjunction with completion of a business acquisition, it is anticipated that we
will issue an amount of our authorized, but un-issued common stock that
represents the greater majority of the voting power and equity of the Company,
which will, in all likelihood, result in stockholders of a target company
obtaining a controlling interest in the Company. As a condition of the business
combination agreement, the current stockholder(s) of the Company may agree to
sell or transfer all or a portion of our common stock he/they own(s) so to
provide the target company with all or majority control. The resulting change in
control of the Company will likely result in removal of the present officers and
directors of the Company and a corresponding reduction in or elimination of
his/their participation in the future affairs of the Company.
Stockholders
will likely suffer a dilution of the value of their shares upon a business
combination.
A
business combination normally will involve the issuance of a significant number
of additional shares. Depending upon the value of the assets acquired in such
business combination, the per-share value of our common stock may increase or
decrease, perhaps significantly.
No
public market exists and no public market may develop for the Company’s common
stock.
There is
currently no public market for our common stock, and no assurance can be given
that a market will develop or that a shareholder ever will be able to liquidate
his investment without considerable delay, if at all. If a market should
develop, the price may be highly volatile. Factors such as those discussed in
this "Risk Factors” section may have a significant impact upon the market price
of the securities offered hereby. Owing to the low price of the securities, many
brokerage firms may not be willing to effect transactions in the securities.
Even if a purchaser finds a broker willing to effect a transaction in these
securities, the combination of brokerage commissions, state transfer taxes, if
any, and any other selling costs may exceed the sales proceeds.
Registration
of shares of the Company's common stock may be required for resale.
It is the
Commission's position that securities issued by a "shell" company such as
Plantation Lifecare Developers, Inc., cannot be sold under the exemption from
registration provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933
(the "Act"), but must be registered under the Securities Act of 1933.
Accordingly, the securities sold to our affiliates may have to be registered
under the Act prior to resale. Any other securities issued to individuals in the
capacity of management, affiliates, control persons and promoters may also have
to be registered prior to resale and shall be issued with appropriate restricted
legend to reflect the registration requirements.
There
may be restrictions imposed by states on the sale of common stock by
investors.
Because
the securities registered hereunder have not been registered for resale under
the Blue Sky laws of any state, the holders of such shares and persons who
desire to purchase them in any trading market that might develop in the future,
should be aware, that there may be significant state Blue Sky law restrictions
upon the ability of investors to sell the securities and of purchasers to
purchase the securities. Accordingly, investors should consider the secondary
market for our securities to be a limited one.
We
may be subject to additional risks because of doing business in a foreign
country.
We may
effectuate a business combination with a merger target whose business operations
or even headquarters, place of formation or primary place of business are
located outside the United States of America. In such event, we may face the
significant additional risks associated with doing business in that country. In
addition to the language barriers, different presentations of financial
information, different business practices, and other cultural differences and
barriers that may make it difficult to evaluate such a merger target, ongoing
business risks result from the international political situation, uncertain
legal systems and applications of law, prejudice against foreigners, corrupt
practices, uncertain economic policies and potential political and economic
instability that may be exacerbated in various foreign countries.
The
consummation of a business combination may subject us and our stockholders to
federal and state taxes.
Federal
and state tax consequences will, in all likelihood, be major considerations in
any business combination that we may undertake. Currently, such transactions may
be structured to result in tax-free treatment to both companies, pursuant to
various federal and state tax provisions. We intend to structure any business
combination so as to minimize the federal and state tax consequences to both the
Company and the target entity; however, there can be no assurance that such
business combination will meet the statutory requirements of a tax-free
reorganization or that the parties will obtain the intended tax-free treatment
upon a transfer of stock or assets. A non-qualifying reorganization could result
in the imposition of both federal and state taxes, which may have an adverse
effect on both parties to the transaction.
Item
2. Financial
Information
GENERAL
We were
incorporated in the State of Delaware on October 26, 1927. We have never been a
reporting company. For the past 28 years, we have been dormant company, and
accordingly, a development stage company, having not attained any significant
revenue or operations.
Our
current principal business activity is to seek a suitable reverse acquisition
candidate through acquisition, merger or other suitable business combination
method.
It is the
intent of management and our significant stockholder, Joseph C. Passalaqua to
provide sufficient working capital necessary to support and preserve the
integrity of the corporate entity. However, there is no legal obligation for
either management our significant stockholder, Mr. Passalaqua to provide
additional future funding. Should this pledge fail to provide financing and we
have not identified any alternative sources of funding. There will be
substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our need
for capital may change dramatically because of any business acquisition or
combination transaction. There can be no assurance that we will identify any
such business, product, technology or company suitable for acquisition in the
future. Further, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in
consummating any acquisition on favorable terms or that we will be able to
profitably manage the business, product, technology or company we
acquire.
PLAN
OF OPERATION
GENERAL
Our
current purpose is to seek, investigate and, if such investigation warrants,
merge or acquire an interest in business opportunities presented to us by
persons or companies who or which desire to seek the perceived advantages of a
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 registered corporation. As of the date hereof,
we have no particular acquisitions in mind and have not entered into any
negotiations regarding such an acquisition, and neither our officer and director
nor any promoter has engaged in any negotiations with any representatives of the
owners of any business or company regarding the possibility of a merger or
acquisition between us and such other company.
Pending
negotiation and consummation of a combination, we anticipate that we will have,
aside from carrying on our search for a combination partner, no business
activities, and, thus, will have no source of revenue. Should we incur any
significant liabilities prior to a combination with a private company, we may
not be able to satisfy such liabilities as are incurred.
If our
management pursues one or more combination opportunities beyond the preliminary
negotiations stage and those negotiations are subsequently terminated, it is
foreseeable that such efforts will exhaust our ability to continue to seek such
combination opportunities before any successful combination can be consummated.
In that event, our common stock will become worthless and holders of our common
stock will receive a nominal distribution, if any, upon our liquidation and
dissolution.
MANAGEMENT
We
are in the development stage and currently has no full-time employees. Mr.
Jospeh C. Passalaqua is our President and Secretary, sole director and
controlling shareholder. Mr. Passalaqua, as our President and Secretary and sole
director, has agreed to allocate a limited portion of his time to the activities
of the Company without compensation. Potential conflicts may arise with respect
to the limited time commitment by Mr. Passalaqua and the potential demands of
our activities. See Item 13, “Certain Relationships and Related
Transactions, and Director Independence."
The
amount of time spent by Mr. Passalaqua on the activities of the Company is not
predictable. Such time may vary widely from an extensive amount when reviewing a
target company to an essentially quiet time when activities of management focus
elsewhere or some amount in between. It is impossible to predict with any
precision the exact amount of time Mr. Passalaqua will actually be required to
spend to locate a suitable target company. Mr. Passalaqua estimates that the
business plan of the Company can be implemented by devoting less than five hours
per month but such figure cannot be stated with precision.
SEARCH
FOR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES
Our
search will be directed toward small and medium-sized enterprises, which have a
desire to become reporting corporations and which are able to provide audited
financial statements. We do not propose to restrict our search for investment
opportunities to any particular geographical area or industry, and may,
therefore, engage in essentially any business, to the extent of our limited
resources. Our discretion in the selection of business opportunities is
unrestricted, subject to the availability of such opportunities, economic
conditions, and other factors. No assurance can be given that we will be
successful in finding or acquiring a desirable business opportunity, and no
assurance can be given that any acquisition, which does occur, will be on terms
that are favorable to us or our current stockholders.
We may
merge with a company that has retained one or more consultants or outside
advisors. In that situation, we expect that the business opportunity will
compensate the consultant or outside advisor. As of the date of this filing,
there have been no discussions, agreements or understandings with any party
regarding the possibility of a merger or acquisition between the Company and
such other company. Consequently, we are unable to predict how the amount of
such compensation would be calculated at this time. It is anticipated that any
finder that the target company retains would be a registered
broker-dealer.
We will
not restrict our search to any specific kind of firm, but may acquire a venture,
which is in its preliminary or development stage, one which is already in
operation or in a more mature stage of its corporate existence. The acquired
business may need to seek additional capital, may desire to have its shares
publicly traded, or may seek other perceived advantages which the Company may
offer. We do not intend to obtain funds to finance the operation of any acquired
business opportunity until such time as we have successfully consummated the
merger or acquisition transaction. There are no loan arrangements or
arrangements for any financing whatsoever relating to any business
opportunities.
EVALUATION
OF BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES
The
analysis of business opportunities will be under the supervision of our sole
officer and director, who is not a professional business analyst. In analyzing
prospective business opportunities, management will consider such matters as
available technical, financial and managerial resources; working capital and
other financial requirements; history of operations, if any; prospects for the
future; nature of present and expected competition; the quality and experience
of management services which may be available and the depth of that management;
the potential for further research, development, or exploration; specific risk
factors not now foreseeable, but which then may be anticipated to impact the
proposed activities of the Company; the potential for growth or expansion; the
potential for profit; the perceived public recognition or alternatively,
acceptance of products, services, or trades; name identification; and other
relevant factors. In many instances, it is anticipated that the historical
operations of a specific business opportunity may not necessarily be indicative
of the potential for the future because of a variety of factors, including, but
not limited to, the possible need to expand substantially, shift marketing
approaches, change product emphasis, change or substantially augment management,
raise capital and the like. Management intends to meet personally with
management and key personnel of the target business entity as part of its
investigation. To the extent possible, we intend to utilize written reports and
personal investigation to evaluate the above factors. Prior to making a decision
to participate in a business opportunity, we will generally request that we be
provided with written materials regarding the business opportunity containing as
much relevant information as possible, including, but not limited to, such items
as a description of products, services and company history; management resumes;
financial information; available projections, with related assumptions upon
which they are based; an explanation of proprietary products and services;
evidence of existing patents, trademarks, alternatively, service marks, or
rights thereto; present and proposed forms of compensation to management; a
description of transactions between such company and its affiliates during the
relevant periods; a description of present and required facilities; an analysis
of risks and competitive conditions; a financial plan of operation and estimated
capital requirements; audited financial statements, or if they are not available
at that time, un-audited financial statements, together with reasonable
assurance that audited financial statements would be able to be produced within
a required period of time; and the like.
In the
event we successfully complete the acquisition of or merger with an operating
business entity, that business entity must provide audited financial statements
for at least two most recent fiscal years or, in the event the business entity
has been in business for less than two years, audited financial statements will
be required from the period of inception. Acquisition candidates that do not
have or are unable to obtain the required audited statements may not be
considered appropriate for acquisition. We will not acquire or merge with any
entity which cannot provide audited financial statements at or within a required
period after closing of the proposed transaction. The audited financial
statements of the acquired company must be furnished within 15 days following
the effective date of a business combination.
When a
non-reporting company becomes the successor of a reporting company by merger,
consolidation, exchange of securities, and acquisition of assets or otherwise,
the successor company is required to provide in a Current Report on Form 8-K the
same kind of information that would appear in a Registration Statement or an
Annual Report on Form 10-K, including audited and pro forma financial
statements. The Commission treats these Form 8-K filings in the same way it
treats the Registration Statements on Form 10 filings. The Commission subjects
them to its standards of review selection, and the Commission may issue
substantive comments on the sufficiency of the disclosures represented. If we
enter into a business combination with a non-reporting company, such
non-reporting company will not receive reporting status until the Commission has
determined that it will not review the 8-K filing or all of the comments have
been cleared by the Commission.
We
believe that various types of potential merger or acquisition candidates might
find a business combination with the Company to be attractive. These include
acquisition candidates desiring to create a public market for their shares in
order to enhance liquidity for current stockholders, acquisition candidates,
which have long-term plans for raising capital through public sale of securities
and believe that the possible prior existence of a public market for their
securities would be beneficial, and acquisition candidates which plan to acquire
additional assets through issuance of securities rather than for cash, and
believe that the possibility of development of a public market for their
securities will be of assistance in that process. Acquisition candidates, who
have a need for an immediate cash infusion, are not likely to find a potential
business combination with us to be an attractive alternative. Nevertheless, we
have not conducted market research and are not aware of statistical data that
would support the perceived benefits of a merger or acquisition transaction for
the owners of a business opportunity. We are unable to predict when we may
participate in a business opportunity. We expect, however, that the analysis of
specific proposals and the selection of a business opportunity may take several
months or more. There can also be no assurances that we are able to successfully
pursue a business opportunity. In that event, there is a substantial risk to us
that failure to complete a business combination will significantly restrict our
business operation and force management to cease operations and liquidate the
Company.
ACQUISITION
OF A BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY
In
implementing a structure for a particular business acquisition, we may become a
party to a merger, consolidation, and reorganization, joint venture or licensing
agreement with another entity. We may also acquire stock or assets of an
existing business. In connection with a merger or acquisition, it is highly
likely that an amount of stock constituting control of the Company would either
be issued by us or be purchased from our current principal stockholder by the
acquiring entity or its affiliates, and accordingly, the shareholders of the
target company, typically, become the majority of the shareholders of the
combined company, the board of directors and officers of the target company
become the new board and officers of the combined company and often the name of
the target company becomes the name of the combined company.
There are
currently no arrangements that would result in a change of control of the
Company. It is anticipated that any securities issued as a result of
consummation of a business combination will be issued in reliance upon one or
more exemptions from registration under applicable federal and state securities
laws to the extent that such exemptions are available. In some circumstances,
however, as a negotiated element of the transaction, we may agree to register
all or a part of such securities immediately after the transaction is
consummated or at specified times thereafter. If such registration occurs, of
which there can be no assurance; it will be undertaken by the surviving entity
after the Company has entered into an agreement for a business combination or
has consummated a business combination and we are no longer considered a dormant
shell company. Until this occurs, we will not attempt to register any additional
securities.
The
issuance of substantial additional securities and their potential sale into any
trading market may have a depressive effect on the market value of our
securities in the future if such a market develops, of which there is no
assurance. There have been no plans, proposals, arrangements or understandings
with respect to the sale or issuance of additional securities. While the actual
terms of a transaction to which we may be a party cannot be predicted, it may be
expected that the parties to the business transaction will find it desirable to
avoid the creation of a taxable event and thereby structure the acquisition in a
"tax-free” reorganization under Sections 351 or 368 of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended.
In order
to obtain tax-free treatment, it may be necessary for the owners of the
surviving entity to own 80% or more of the voting stock of the surviving entity.
In this event, our current shareholder would retain less than 20% of the issued
and outstanding shares of the surviving entity, which could result in
significant dilution in the equity of such shareholder. However, treatment as a
tax-free reorganization will not be a condition of any future business
combination and if it is not the case, we will not obtain an opinion of counsel
that the reorganization will be tax-free. With respect to any merger or
acquisition, negotiations with target company management are expected to focus
on the percentage of the Company which the target company shareholders would
acquire in exchange for all of their shareholdings in the target company.
Depending upon, among other things, the target company's assets and liabilities,
our only shareholder will in all likelihood hold a substantially lesser
percentage ownership interest in the Company following any merger or
acquisition. The percentage ownership may be subject to significant reduction in
the event we acquire a target company with substantial assets.
Any
merger or acquisition effected by us can be expected to have a significant
dilutive effect on the percentage of shares held by our shareholder at such
time. We will participate in a business opportunity only after the negotiation
and execution of appropriate agreements. Although the terms of such agreements
cannot be predicted, generally such agreements will require certain
representations and warranties of the parties thereto, will specify certain
events of default, will detail the terms of closing and the conditions which
must be satisfied by the parties prior to and after such closing, outline the
manner of bearing costs, including costs associated with our attorneys and
accountants, and will include miscellaneous other terms. It is anticipated that
we will not be able to diversify, but will essentially be limited to the
acquisition of one business opportunity because of our limited financing. This
lack of diversification will not permit us to offset potential losses from one
business opportunity against profits from another, and should be considered an
adverse factor affecting any decision to purchase our securities. There are no
present plans, proposals, arrangements or understandings to offer the shares of
the post-merger companies to third parties if any mergers occur, and there is no
marketing plan to distribute the shares of the post-merger companies to third
parties. Mr. Joseph C. Passalaqua has not had any preliminary contact,
agreements or understandings with anyone to help sell these shares.
We intend
to seek to carry out our business plan as discussed herein. In order to do so,
we need to pay ongoing expenses, including particularly legal and accounting
fees incurred in conjunction with preparation and filing of this registration
statement, and in conjunction with future compliance with our on-going reporting
obligations.
We do not
intend to make any loans to any prospective merger or acquisition candidates or
unaffiliated third parties.
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
It is the
belief of management that sufficient working capital necessary to support and
preserve the integrity of the corporate entity will be present. However, there
is no legal obligation for either management or significant stockholders to
provide additional future funding. Should this pledge fail to provide financing,
we have not identified any alternative sources. Consequently, there is
substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We have
no current plans, proposals, arrangements or understandings with respect to the
sale or issuance of additional securities prior to the location of a merger or
acquisition candidate. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that sufficient
funds will be available to us to allow us to cover the expenses related to such
activities.
Our need
for capital may change dramatically because of any business acquisition or
combination transaction. There can be no assurance that we will identify any
such business, product, technology or company suitable for acquisition in the
future. Further, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in
consummating any acquisition on favorable terms or that we will be able to
profitably manage the business, product, technology or company we
acquire.
Regardless
of whether our cash assets prove to be inadequate to meet our operational needs,
we might seek to compensate providers of services by issuances of stock in lieu
of cash.
Item
3. Properties
We
currently maintain a mailing address at 7325 Oswego Road, Liverpool, NY 13090.
Our telephone number there is (315) 451 7515.
Other than this mailing address, we do not currently maintain any other
office facilities, and do not anticipate the need for maintaining office
facilities at any time in the near future. We pay no rent or other fees for the
use of the mailing address as these offices are used virtually full-time by
other businesses of our President and Secretary, Mr. Passalaqua.
It is likely that we will not establish an office until we have completed
a business acquisition transaction, but it is not possible to predict that
arrangements will actually be made with respect to future office
facilities.
We
currently have no policy with respect to investments or interests in real
estate, real estate mortgages or securities of, or interests in, persons
primarily engaged in real estate activities.

Secretary

Mr.
Joseph C. Passalaqua serves as President and Secretary at the pleasure of the
board of directors.
Mr.
Joseph C. Passalaqua shall serve as our director until the next annual meeting
of stockholders or until his prior death, resignation or removal and until any
successors are duly elected and have qualified.
Directors
will be elected for one-year terms at the annual stockholders meeting. Officers
will hold their positions at the pleasure of the board of directors, absent any
employment agreement, of which none currently exists or is contemplated. There
is no arrangement or understanding between Mr. Joseph C. Passalaqua and any
other person pursuant to which he was or is to be selected as a director or
officer, and there is no arrangement, plan or understanding as to whether
non-management shareholders will exercise their voting rights to continue to
elect the current director to our board. There are also no arrangements,
agreements or understandings between non-management shareholders that may
directly or indirectly participate in or influence the management of our
affairs.
Mr.
Joseph C. Passalaqua and any other directors and officers hereafter appointed or
elected will devote their time to our affairs on an as needed basis, this,
depending on the circumstances, could amount to as little as two hours per
month, or more than forty hours per month, but more than likely will encompass
less than five (5) hours per month. There are no agreements or understandings
for any officer or director to resign at the request of another person, and none
of the officers or directors is acting on behalf of, or will act at the
direction of, any other person.
Joseph
C. Passalaqua
Beginning
in 1992, Mr. Passalaqua served as Chief Executive Officer and President of
American Telecommunications Enterprises, Inc. (ATI), a domestic long distance
carrier. ATI was one of the top forty long distance carriers in the United
States. The company was sold in 1999. Since 1997, Mr. Passalaqua has also served
as President of Datone Communications, Inc., a pay phone company. In 1989, Mr.
Passalaqua was one of the founding members of the North East Dealers of Pay
Phones Association. In 1995, the North East Dealers of Pay Phones Association
merged with the Empire State Pay Phone Association. From 1995 through 1997, Mr.
Passalaqua served as a board member of the Empire State Pay Phone Association.
In 1996, Mr. Passalaqua purchased a Chevrolet, Buick franchise called Laqua’s
481. The family added a Pontiac, Oldsmobile and GMC Truck dealership at the same
location in 2000. The franchises combined and operated until July 2008.Mr.
Passalaqua is the Secretary of Digital Utilities Ventures, Inc. and the sole
owner of Greenwich Holdings, LLC.
Audit Committee and
Financial Expert
We do not
have an Audit Committee. Mr. Joseph C. Passalaqua, the sole director, performs
some of the same functions of an Audit Committee, such as: recommending a firm
of independent certified public accountants to audit the annual financial
statements; reviewing the independent auditors independence, the financial
statements and their audit report; and reviewing management's administration of
the system of internal accounting controls. We do not currently have a written
audit committee charter or similar document.
We have
no financial expert. We believe the cost related to retaining a financial expert
at this time is prohibitive. Further, because we have no business operations,
management believes the services of a financial expert are not
warranted.
Code of
Ethics
A code of
ethics relates to written standards that are reasonably designed to deter
wrongdoing and to promote:
|
1.
|
Honest
and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent
conflicts of interest between personal and professional
relationships;
|
|
2.
|
Full,
fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and
documents that are filed with, or submitted to, the Commission and in
other public communications made by an
issuer;
|
|
3.
|
Compliance
with applicable governmental laws, rules and
regulations;
|
|
4.
|
The
prompt internal reporting of violations of the code to an appropriate
person or persons identified in the code;
and
|
|
5.
|
Accountability
for adherence to the code.
|
We have
not adopted a corporate code of ethics that applies to our principal executive
officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or
controller, or persons performing similar functions
The
decision to not adopt such a code of ethics resulted from the Company having
only one officer and one director, who is the same person, thus eliminating the
need for such a code.
Nominating
Committee
We do not
have a Nominating Committee or Nominating Committee Charter. Mr. Jospeh C.
Passalaqua, our sole director, performs some of the functions associated with a
Nominating Committee. We have elected not to have a Nominating Committee in that
we are a development stage company with limited operations and
resources.
Conflicts of
Interest
Mr.
Passalaqua will only devote a small portion of his time to affairs of the
Company. There will be occasions when the time requirements of our business
conflict with the demands of his other business and investment activities. Such
conflicts may require that we attempt to employ additional personnel. There is
no assurance that the services of such persons will be available or that they
can be obtained upon terms favorable to us.
The
officers, directors and principal shareholders of the Company may actively
negotiate for the purchase of a portion of their common stock as a condition to,
or in connection with, a proposed merger or acquisition transaction. It is
anticipated that a substantial premium may be paid by the purchaser in
conjunction with any sale of shares by our officers, directors and principal
shareholders made as a condition to, or in connection with, a proposed merger or
acquisition transaction. The fact that a substantial premium may be paid to
members of our management to acquire their shares creates a conflict of interest
for them and may compromise their state law a fiduciary duty to our other
shareholders. In making any such sale, members of our management may consider
their own personal pecuniary benefit rather than the best interests of the
Company and our other shareholders, and the other shareholders are not expected
to be afforded the opportunity to approve or consent to any particular buy-out
transaction involving shares held by members of our management.
It is not
currently anticipated that any salary, consulting fee, or finders fee shall be
paid to any of our directors or executive officers, or to any other affiliate of
the Company except as described under Executive Compensation below. Although
management has no current plans to cause the Company to do so, it is possible
that we will enter into an agreement with an acquisition candidate requiring the
sale of all or a portion of the common stock held by our current stockholder to
the acquisition candidate or principals thereof, or to other individuals or
business entities, or requiring some other form of payment to our current
stockholder, or requiring the future employment of specified officers and
payment of salaries to them. It is more likely than not that any sale of
securities by our current stockholder to an acquisition candidate would be at a
price substantially higher than that originally paid by such stockholders. Any
payment to our current stockholder in the context of an acquisition involving
the Company would be determined entirely by the largely unforeseeable terms of a
future agreement with an unidentified business entity.
Item
6. Executive
Compensation
None of
our officers or directors has received any cash remuneration. Officers will not
receive any remuneration upon completion of an offering until the consummation
of an acquisition. No remuneration of any nature has been paid for or on account
of services rendered by a director in such capacity. None of the officers and
directors intends to devote more than a few hours a week to our
affairs.
It is
possible that, after we successfully consummate a business combination with an
unaffiliated entity, that entity may desire to employ or retain one or a number
of members of our management for the purposes of providing services to the
surviving entity. However, we have adopted a policy whereby the offer of any
post-transaction employment to members of management will not be a consideration
in our decision whether to undertake any proposed transaction.
No
retirement, pension, profit sharing, stock option or insurance programs or other
similar programs have been adopted by us for the benefit of our
employees.
There is
no understanding or agreement regarding compensation our management will receive
after a business combination that is required to be included in this table, or
otherwise.
Item
7. Certain Relationships
and Related Transactions, and Director Independence
An
officer of the Company, Joseph Passalaqua, has advanced the Company $500. The
note accrues simple interest at a rate of 18% annually and is payable on demand.
As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company owed $500, and $0 related to this
note, and had accrued $27 and $0 respectively in simple interest.
The sole
officer of the Company, Joseph Passalaqua, is also President of Lyboldt-Daly
Inc., which has provided bookkeeping services to the Company. As of December 31,
2008 and 2007, the Company owed $1,924, and $63 related to these bookkeeping
services.
Independent
Directors
Our board
of directors is currently comprised of one director, namely Mr. Joseph C.
Passalaqua, who is not an independent director, as such term is defined under
the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market.

Indemnification
of Directors and Officers
|
Section
145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation may
indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals
against expenses including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement in connection with various actions, suits or proceedings, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative other than an action by or in
the right of the corporation, a derivative action, if they acted in good faith
and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, if they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was
unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions,
except that indemnification only extends to expenses including attorneys' fees
incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such actions, and the
statute requires court approval before there can be any indemnification where
the person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation. The
statute provides that it is not exclusive of other indemnification that may be
granted by a corporation's certificate of incorporation, bylaws, agreement, a
vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
Our
Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that we will indemnify and hold
harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law, as amended from time to time, each person that such section
grants us the power to indemnify.
The
Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to provide in its
certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be
personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages
for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability
for:
•
|
any
breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its
stockholders;
|
•
|
acts
or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or
a knowing violation of law;
|
•
|
payments
of unlawful dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions;
or
|
•
|
any
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit.
|
Our
Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, none of our directors will be personally liable to
us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director. Any repeal or modification of this provision will be prospective only
and will not adversely affect any limitation, right or protection of a director
of our company existing at the time of such repeal or modification.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the
Board of Directors
Plantation
Lifecare Developers, Inc.
Liverpool,
New York
We have
audited the accompanying balance sheets of Plantation Lifecare Developers, Inc.
(the “Company”), as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the related consolidated
statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash
flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our
audit.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatements. The
Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its
internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of
internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control
over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our
opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2008
and 2007 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then
ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that
the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the
consolidated financial statements, The Company has suffered recurring losses
from operations, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as
a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters are described in
Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and Basis of
Presentation
This
summary of accounting policies for Plantation Lifecare Developers, Inc. is
presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial
statements. The accounting policies conform to generally accepted
accounting principles and have been consistently applied in the preparation of
the financial statements.
The
Company, originally named “Continental Exchange Corporation” was originally
incorporated on October 26, 1927 under the laws of the State of Delaware. Later
than year the corporation changed its name to “Northern Exchange Corporation”.
Its original purpose was to use its acquired capital to merge with or acquire
any other lawful business or enterprise, the nature of which was left
unstated. Being unable to achieve its intended purpose, the company
ceased operations and became dormant in 1943 having no assets or
liabilities.
The
Company remained in this condition until, December 30, 1980, when the company
was reinstated in the State of Delaware and the name was changed to “Everest
International Incorporated”. In 1988, the name of the corporation was
changed to “Comstock Resources Corporation” and then “Comstock International,
Inc.”. In 2000, the name of the corporation was changed to
“Copernicus International, Inc.”.
In 2001,
An Agreement Merger was signed between Copernicus International, Inc., a
Delaware Corporation, and Plantation Lifecare Developers, a Delaware
Corporation. The surviving corporation is named Plantation Lifecare
Developers, Inc. On November 8, 2001, a certificate of Merger and
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation were filed with the State of
Delaware. The company was intended to construct and operate life care
communities which combine modern, specially designed resort
villas, access to assisted-care living and modern skilled nursing
hospitals in the Caribbean and South America. Since 2001, the Company has not
commenced planned principal operations.
On
October 29, 2008 a Certificate of Revival and Renewal was filed with the State
of Delaware.
The
Company has no products or services as of December 31, 2008 and December 31,
2007.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Nature of Operations and
Going Concern
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting
principles applicable to a “going concern”, which assume that Plantation
Lifecare Developers, Inc. (hereto referred to as the “Company”) will continue in
operation for at least one year and will be able to realize its assets and
discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations.
Several
conditions and events cast substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to
continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred net losses of
approximately $ 1,038,000 for the period from January 1, 2001 to December 31,
2008, has no revenues and requires additional financing in order to finance its
business activities on an ongoing basis. The Company’s future capital
requirements will depend on numerous factors including, but not limited to,
continued progress in finding a merger candidate and the pursuit of business
opportunities. The Company is actively pursuing alternative financing and has
had discussions with various third parties, although no firm commitments have
been obtained. In the interim, shareholders of the Company have
committed to meeting its minimal operating expenses. Management
believes that actions presently being taken to revise the Company’s operating
and financial requirements provide them with the opportunity to continue as a
going concern.
These
financial statements do not reflect adjustments that would be necessary if the
Company were unable to continue as a going concern. While management
believes that the actions already taken or planned, will mitigate the adverse
conditions and events which raise doubt about the validity of the “going
concern” assumption used in preparing these financial statements, there can be
no assurance that these actions will be successful. If the Company
were unable to continue as a “going concern,” then substantial adjustments would
be necessary to the carrying values of assets, the reported amounts of its
liabilities, the reported revenues and expenses, and the balance sheet
classifications used.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Financial
Instruments
The
Company’s financial assets and liabilities consist of cash and accounts payable.
Except as otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not
exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial
instruments. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their
carrying values due to the sort-term maturities of these
instruments.
Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of SFAS No.109,
“Accounting for Income Taxes.” SFAS No.109 requires recognition of
deferred income tax assets and liabilities for the expected future income tax
consequences, based on enacted tax laws, of temporary differences between the
financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities.
Cash and Cash
Equivalents
For
purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid
debt instruments purchased with a maturity of 90 days or less to be cash
equivalents to the extent the funds are not being held for investment
purposes.
Concentration of Credit
Risk
The
Company has no significant off-balance-sheet concentrations of credit risk such
as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts or other foreign hedging
arrangements.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Pervasiveness of
Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles required 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 and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Loss per
Share
Basic
loss per share has been computed by dividing the loss for the period applicable
to the common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the years. There were no common equivalent shares
outstanding during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.
Stock-Based
Compensation
Effective
June 1, 2006, the company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123 (R) requiring
employee equity awards to be accounted for under the fair value method.
Accordingly, share-based compensation is measured at grant date, based on the
fair value of the award. Prior to June 1, 2006, the company accounted for awards
granted to employees under its equity incentive plans under the intrinsic value
method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25,
“Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (APB 25), and related
interpretations, and provided the required pro forma disclosures prescribed by
SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (SFAS No. 123), as
amended. No stock options were granted to employees during the years ended
December 31, 2008, and 2007 and accordingly, no compensation expense was
recognized under APB No. 25 for the years ended December 31, 2008, and 2007. In
addition, no compensation expense is required to be recognized under provisions
of SFAS No. 123 (R) with respect to employees.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Stock-Based Compensation
(Continued)
Under the
modified prospective method of adoption for SFAS No. 123 (R), the compensation
cost recognized by the company beginning on June 1, 2006 includes (a)
compensation cost for all equity incentive awards granted prior to, but not
vested as of June 1, 2006, based on the grant-dated fair value estimated in
accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, and (b) compensation
cost for all equity incentive awards granted subsequent to June 1, 2006, based
on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS
No, 123 (R). The company uses the straight-line attribution method to recognize
share-based compensation costs over the service period of the award. Upon
exercise, cancellation, forfeiture, or expiration of stock options, or upon
vesting or forfeiture of restricted stock units, deferred tax assets for options
and restricted stock units with multiple vesting dates are eliminated for each
vesting period on a first-in, first-out basis as if each vesting period was a
separate award. To calculate the excess tax benefits available for use in
offsetting future tax shortfalls as of the dated of implementation, the company
followed the alternative transition method discussed in FASB Staff Position No.
123 (R)-3. During the periods ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, no
stock options were granted to non-employees. Accordingly, no stock-based
compensation expense was recognized for new stock option grants in the Statement
of Operations and Comprehensive Loss at December 31, 2008 and 2007.
Recent Accounting
Standards
In June,
2006 the FASB issued FIN 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an
interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109”. This Interpretation clarifies, among
other things, the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an
enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109,
Accounting for Income Taxes. This Interpretation prescribes a recognition
threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and
measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax
return.
This
Interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest
and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Earlier
application is encouraged if the enterprise has not yet issued financial
statements, including interim financial statements, in the period the
Interpretation is adopted. FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an
interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2006. Earlier application is encouraged if the
enterprise has not yet issued financial statements, including interim financial
statements, in the period the Interpretation is adopted. The adoption
did not have material impact on the company’s financial
statements.

NOTE 2 - INCOME
TAXES
As of
December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company had a net operating loss carry forward
for income tax reporting purposes of approximately $1,039,000 and $1,035,000
that may be offset against future taxable income. The net operating loss will
expire between 2021 and 2028. Current tax laws limit the amount of
loss available to be offset against future taxable income when a substantial
change in ownership occurs. Therefore, the amount available to offset
future taxable income may be limited. No tax benefit has been
reported in the financial statements, because the Company believes there is a
50% or greater chance the carry-forwards will expire
unused. Accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the loss
carry-forwards are offset by a valuation allowance of the same
amount.

The
Company evaluates its valuation allowance requirements based on projected future
operations. When circumstances change and causes a change in
management's judgment about the recoverability of deferred tax assets, the
impact of the change on the valuation is reflected in current
income
