(a) This Amendment No. 13 amends and supplements the Schedule 13D,
as amended and supplemented by Amendments Nos. 1 through 12,

the Common Stock, $.10 par value ("Common Stock") of Berkshire
Bancorp Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), formerly known
as Cooper Life Sciences, Inc. Except as amended hereby, there has
been no change in the information contained in the Schedule 13D.
Pursuant to Rule 13d-1(f)(1) promulgated under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), this Schedule
13D is being filed by Mr. Marx, Momar and Terumah Foundation, Inc.,
a New York not-for-profit corporation (the "Foundation"). The
individual and entities hereinabove set forth (collectively, the
"Reporting Persons") are making this single, joint filing because
they may be deemed to constitute a "group" within the meaning of
Section 13d(d)(3) of the Exchange Act. Information regarding Mr.
Marx and Momar in response to Item 2 of Schedule 13D has been
previously submitted in prior filings of this Schedule 13D. Set
forth below is such information regarding the Foundation.
(b) - (c)
The Foundation is a New York not-for-profit corporation and a
501(c)(3) tax exempt organization. The principal business address of
the Foundation is 160 Broadway, New York, NY 10038. Pursuant to
Instruction C to Schedule 13D, the executive officers of the
Foundation are Moses Marx - President, Dr. Joseph M. Fink -
Treasurer, and Philippe Katz - Secretary; the "Key Directors" of the
Foundation, as defined in the Foundation's by-laws, are Moses Marx
and Marga Marx; and the "Directors" of the Foundation, as defined in
the Foundation's by-laws, are Philippe Katz, Esther Katz, Dr. Joseph
M. Fink and Eva Fink. By resolution dated March 4, 2005, the by-laws
of the Foundation were amended so that each Key Director has three
votes and each Director has one vote on the Foundation's Board of
Directors. Mr. Marx, Mr. Katz and Dr. Fink are principally employed
as private investors and their principal business address is 160
Broadway, New York, NY 10038. Mrs. Marx is principally employed as a
college administrator. Mrs. Katz and Mrs. Fink are principally
employed as homemakers. The principal business address of Mrs. Marx,
Mrs. Katz and Mrs. Fink is c/o the Foundation, 160 Broadway, New
York, NY 10038.
(d) Neither the Foundation nor any other person described in this
Item 2 has, during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal
proceeding.
(e) Neither the Foundation nor any other person described in this
Item 2 has, during the last five years, been a party to a civil
proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent
jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to
a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or
prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state
securities laws or finding any violations with respect to such laws.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or other Consideration.
The shares of Common Stock reported in Item 5 as beneficially owned
by the Foundation were received by the Foundation as charitable
donations or purchased in the open market.
PAGE 5 OF 8 PAGES
Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction.
The shares of Common Stock reported in Item 5 herein were acquired
by the Foundation for investment purposes. The Foundation may
acquire shares of Common Stock by donation or otherwise from time to
time and may dispose of any or all of the shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by it (to the extent it has dispositive power
over such shares) at any time. The Foundation has no plans or
proposals which relate to, or could result in any of the matters
referred to in Paragraphs (b) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
(a) - (b)
According to the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
period ended September 30, 2004, there were 6,748,675 shares of
Common Stock outstanding on November 5, 2004.
As of the date of this Amendment No. 13, Moses Marx beneficially
owned 3,557,693 shares of Common Stock, representing 52.7%
(calculated in accordance with the instructions to Schedule 13D) of
the issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock. Said
securities consist of (i) 2,880,530 shares owned directly by Mr.
Marx; (ii) 285,000 shares owned of record by Momar Corporation
("Momar"); (iii) 391,163 shares owned of record by the Foundation;
and (iv) options to purchase 1,000 shares of Common Stock. With
respect to the shares described in clauses (ii) and (iii), Mr. Marx
may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of such shares by virtue of
his being the only person (in the case of the Foundation, by voting
together with his wife, Marga Marx, who together constitute six of
the ten votes on the Foundation's Board for Directors) in a position
to determine the investment and voting decisions of Momar and the
Foundation, respectively, with respect to such shares.
The foregoing does not include any of the 160,500 shares owned by
Eva and Esther, L.P., of which Mr. Marx has an 80.5% limited
partnership interest and of which Mr. Marx's daughters and their
husbands are the general partners.
(c) The Reporting Persons effected no transactions in the Shares
during the last 60 days.
(d) Each of the Reporting Persons affirms that no person other than
the Reporting Persons has the right to receive, or the power to
direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale
of, the Common Stock owned by the Reporting Persons.
(e) It is inapplicable for the purposes hereof to state the date on
which the Reporting Persons ceased to be the owners of more than
five percent of the Common Stock.
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with
Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
Except as set forth above or elsewhere in this Schedule 13D, the
Reporting Persons do not have any contract, arrangement,
understanding or relationship (legal or otherwise) with any person
with respect to any securities of the Company, including, but not
limited to, transfer or voting of any such securities, finders'
fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls,
guarantees of profits, division of profits or losses, or the giving
or withholding of proxies.
Item 7. Material to be Filed as Exhibits.
1. Agreement dated March 21, 2005, among the Reporting Persons
relating to the filing of a joint statement pursuant to Rule
13d-1(k).
