History
A shell that began as an elderly-care security business drifted through oil and gas, then became a fuel cell company in 2014, funding itself with discounted share lines.
2006-2007: Lusora and elderly security products
In 2006 the company, then called Lusora Healthcare Systems Inc., changed hands. Dan Bauer bought 60% of the stock for $450,000, and a 25:1 forward split lifted shares outstanding from 2,500,000 to 62,500,000. On November 29, 2006 the company bought 93.8% of Lusora Inc., a private firm developing wireless personal security and monitoring products for elderly people, issuing 28,200,000 shares. It bought the remaining 6.2% the next day for 1,875,000 shares. Bauer returned 36,575,000 shares for cancellation, leaving 55,100,000 outstanding. The filing noted losses of about $336,776 since inception, no revenue and substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue.
In 2007 it lined up a facility letting Global Healthcare Investments advance up to $3,000,000, and signed a letter of intent to buy Associated Home Services. That letter was not a completed deal, and the record shows no completion.
2007-2012: Oil and gas, then a shell
In August 2007 the company turned to oil and gas. It took over rights in a memorandum with Coastal Petroleum for 1,000,000 restricted shares, then signed a farmout on leases of about 42,000 acres in Valley County, Montana. It put $384,000 in escrow for a test well and paid a $40,000 fee. Losses since inception had reached $1,821,223 with no revenue. It renamed itself Western Standard Energy Corp. in September 2007. In May 2008 it agreed a facility letting Infinity Energy Investments advance up to $15,000,000 for units of shares and warrants, and its office moved to Williston, North Dakota. The filings do not say whether any money was advanced.
The record then thins. In December 2009 it borrowed US$60,000, repayable on demand and secured over all its assets. In February 2010 a 1-for-1,000 reverse split was followed by 100,000 shares issued to Monaco Capital, giving it 52% and control. By November 2012 the company said it had no oil or gas assets, and the filings do not explain how the Montana and North Dakota interests ended.
2012-2013: New control and small deals
On November 9, 2012 it placed 33,269,857 shares with 18 investors at $0.00125 each, raising $41,587.32. Dallas Gray took 15,000,000 of them, 44.8% of the stock, and joined the board. This explains the rise from 192,136 shares at the end of 2011 to about 34 million a year later. In May 2013 it swapped an older US$250,000 convertible debenture for a new CDN$140,000 one due May 15, 2014. In November 2013 it bought a 41% stake in Pro Eco Energy, a British Columbia heating and cooling installer, for 4,000,000 shares.
2014-2016: Fuel cells and discounted funding
On February 20, 2014 the company acquired Dominovas Energy, LLC, a fuel cell company founded in 2012, for 45,000,000 new shares, half the stock after closing. Neal Allen replaced Gray as CEO. The business centred on RUBICON solid oxide fuel cell systems for Guinea, Angola and the Dominican Republic, and it later became Dominovas Energy Corporation. Shares on issue reached about 90.5 million at the end of 2014.
Funding came from discounted share lines. In October 2014 Kodiak Capital agreed to buy up to $3,000,000 of shares once a registration statement was effective, and also received a $165,000 convertible note. In November 2015 the company ended that deal and signed with GHS Investments for up to $7,500,000, at 80% of a recent low trading price. The filings do not say whether any Kodiak or GHS shares were sold. Year-end share counts rose to about 173.5 million in 2015 and about 691 million in 2016, though the beats do not explain those rises.
On September 26, 2016 the company issued 51 Series A Preferred shares to Allen for his service. Each converts to one common share, and the voting formula appears designed to give him roughly 51% of votes. As of September 28, 2016, the company was a fuel cell business with no reported revenue, the GHS line still needed its registration to take effect, and going-concern doubt remained.
