History

A shell company called SUJA Minerals became a Michigan fuel cell business in 2013, raised debt-based funding, then went quiet and was suspended by the SEC in 2017 for missing filings.

2013-2014: From mining shell to fuel cells

The company was incorporated in Nevada in April 2010 as SUJA Minerals, Corp. Its record shows a tiny shell until August 2013, when it bought 100% of Global Energy Innovations, Inc. (GEI), a Michigan fuel cell maker. The price was $250,000 in cash, 15,000,000 existing shares delivered by certain shareholders, 2,500 Series A super-voting preferred shares and a 10-year royalty to founder Dr. K. Joel Berry: 2.5% of sales up to $100 million a year, 1.5% above that. The preferred shares gave Dr. Berry 50.00% of the voting power, so control passed to him. To ease the change, 10,000,000 shares held by Hemisphere West Co, Ltd were cancelled, and $119,929.51 of notes were approved for conversion into 19,987,142 shares. A reverse split also took place, which is why the share count fell to 30,000 at the end of 2012 on the later figures and stood at 126,970 at the end of 2013.

In April 2014 the company agreed a possible $10,000,000 funding line with Kodiak Capital Group, usable only once a registration statement became effective, with shares sold at 75% of the lowest recent bid. Kodiak received 1,500,000 restricted shares as a fee, and authorized common shares were raised to 1,400,000,000. In July 2014 it signed a revolving credit facility of up to $5,000,000 with TCA Global Credit Master Fund, LP, drawing $200,000 at the outset to fund fuel cell commercialisation. Shares on issue reached 1,227,497,954 by the end of 2014.

2015-2017: Zarvic and the suspension

In September 2015 the company created Series B Convertible Non-Voting Preferred Stock, convertible 10-to-1 into common, and engaged Zarvic Brothers of Rochester, NY for advice on mergers, debt restructuring and strategy. In December 2015 the board approved buying Zarvic Brothers, LLC, a commercial real estate and merger advisory firm, for 500,000 restricted shares.

The record then goes quiet. In August 2017 the company disclosed that the Zarvic deal was never legally executed because final terms were not concluded. It also reported an SEC trading suspension from August 3 to August 16, 2017, because it had filed no periodic reports since the quarterly report for the period ended September 30, 2014. A recovery plan was due by August 12, 2017. As of August 11, 2017, the company was also offering hybrid power consulting services, and the filings did not report that fuel cell commercial operations had been achieved.

    The company reported that the December 2015 Zarvic Brothers acquisition agreement was never legally executed because final terms were not concluded, which ends that thread. It also disclosed an SEC trading suspension from August 3 to August 16, 2017 because it had not filed periodic reports since the 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2014, and said a recovery plan will be submitted by August 12, 2017. Separately it is offering hybrid power consulting services.

    On December 23, 2015 the board approved an agreement to acquire Zarvic Brothers, LLC of New York (commercial real estate and merger advisory) through a share exchange, issuing 500,000 restricted common shares via a new private subsidiary. The filing says it takes effect upon legal review. This follows the September 2015 Zarvic engagement and moves the company toward real estate and acquisitions beyond fuel cells.

  2. 14 Sept

    In September 2015 the company created a new Series B Convertible Non-Voting Preferred Stock, convertible 10-to-1 into common, protected from reverse splits, and paying 20 times a common share in a buyout or liquidation. It also engaged Zarvic Brothers (Rochester, NY) for advice on mergers and acquisitions, debt restructuring and strategy. Issuing this class would likely dilute common holders (inference).

    On July 31, 2014 the company signed a senior secured revolving credit facility of up to $5,000,000 with TCA Global Credit Master Fund, LP, with an initial draw of $200,000 less expenses (net expenses $109,000, of which $80,000 went to resolving corporate debt). The facility is secured by company assets and receivables, and the lender can convert debt into shares at 85% of the lowest recent average price only after an event of default. Proceeds are meant for the fuel cell commercialisation plan.

    On April 9, 2014 the company agreed with Kodiak Capital Group, LLC to a possible funding line of up to $10,000,000, usable only after a Form S-1 registration statement becomes effective, with shares sold to Kodiak at 75% of the lowest closing bid over five trading days. Kodiak got 1,500,000 restricted shares as a commitment fee plus a $15,000 document fee. The board also raised authorized common shares to 1,400,000,000, and the filing says the $250,000 acquisition debt remains, held by Dr. Berry as a 0% convertible debenture payable on demand. Discounted share sales and the larger authorized count point to potential dilution (inference).

  1. 21 Aug

    The company (then named SUJA Minerals, Corp.) reported that on August 15, 2013 it bought 100% of Global Energy Innovations, Inc. (GEI), a Michigan fuel cell maker, for $250,000 cash, 15,000,000 existing common shares delivered by certain shareholders, 2,500 Series A super-voting preferred shares, and a 10-year royalty (2.5% on sales up to $100 million a year, 1.5% above that) to GEI founder Dr. K. Joel Berry. The preferred shares give Dr. Berry 50.00% of total voting power, so control passed to him and he became a director and CEO. Also reported: 10,000,000 shares held by Hemisphere West Co, Ltd were cancelled to ease the change of control, and $119,929.51 of notes were approved for conversion into 19,987,142 shares. This replaces the earlier tiny-loss shell filings with a fuel cell business, not oil and gas, and existing shareholders face dilution and a loss of control.
