Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) Compliance:
Situation: A private land development company was presented with
an opportunity to merge with another land development company that
had gone public several years prior. The public company had an unsuccessful
performance and was scaled back to a very limited operating company.
Due to the relative values of the two companies by merging with
the public company, the private company gained control of both the
stockholder ownership and management of the combined companies.
This combination of businesses is known as a "Reverse Merger".
There was an immediate need for executive financial and accounting
skills after the merger, however there was no senior financial expertise
in either of these two companies.
IntegraGroup's Role: On the recommendation of the company's
auditor, the company engaged IntegraGroup to support the immediate
disclosure requirements of the pubic company merger. While audited
financial statements were being prepared for the company's
SEC Form 8-K filing, we accumulated and consolidated the historical
information required for the pro forma statements. IntegraGroup
also prepared the company's SEC annual report Form 10-K and
quarterly reports, Forms 10-Q after the merger until a fulltime
CFO could be hired.
Conclusion: The company under management by the formerly
private company executives was able to maintain their compliance
of public company reporting and disclosures for nine months while
it conducted an orderly and successful search for a fulltime CFO.
After the new CFO's hire, IntegraGroup supported the company's
annual meeting by assisting in the proxy preparation and solicitation
process
as well as functioning as the inspector of election at the annual
meeting.
