PROPOSAL 1
THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

OVERVIEW

Steven B. Solomon, our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, owns a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock and has approved an amendment to our certificate of incorporation which would authorize our board of directors to effect a reverse split of all outstanding shares of our common stock at an exchange ratio of one-for-three. The board would have the sole discretion to elect, as it determines to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, whether or not to effect the reverse stock split, at any time before May 31, 2011. The Board may also determine not to undertake the reverse stock split, even though approved by our stockholders.

Our board of directors has approved and adopted the amendment to our certificate of incorporation to effect the proposed reverse stock split and declared the proposal to be advisable and has recommended that the proposed amendment be submitted to our stockholders.

REASONS FOR THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

Our primary purposes in considering the reverse stock split is to reduce the amount of shares of our common stock currently outstanding to (i) permit the issuance of 166,788,200 shares to Steven B. Solomon, our CEO, Chairman of the Board and owner of  approximately 72% of the currently outstanding shares of the Company, who exercised a right to convert a note payable to common stock, (ii) facilitate the proposed merger, and (iii) facilitate a proposed private placement in connection with the proposed merger.  The issuance of the note payable to our CEO resulted in a potential change of control of the Company as previously disclosed, and the partial conversion of the note resulted in a change of control as previously disclosed.

In addition, the reverse stock split would facilitate a corporate transaction such as the proposed merger, or another transaction or financing.  We have entered into a merger agreement related to the merger, and while we have not entered into a letter of intent or other arrangement related to the proposed private placement, we intend to pursue the proposed private placement, closing of which is a condition precedent to the merger, following adoption of this proposal. While CDSS has discussed the private placement at the board level and CDSS is actively pursuing the reverse stock split and share increase proposals in order to authorize the additional shares of common stock that would be required to complete the private placement, CDSS has not engaged in discussions with third parties regarding the proposed private placement at this time.   Following adoption of these proposals, we intend to seek to complete the private placement.  We currently anticipate that we will issue the new shares of our common stock to a limited number of accredited investors with existing relationships with the principals of CDSS and GEM in a private placement under Rule 506 under the Securities Act of 1933 or other available exemption.   As described in this Information Statement, we intend to reduce, by the number of shares to be issued in the private placement, the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the convertible promissory note held by Steven B. Solomon, our Chief Executive Officer.
 
The decision to enter into a transaction could be made by our CEO, as our CEO owns more than a majority of our voting stock.  We cannot assure you that we will be able to enter into any transactions regarding a corporate combination or financing.  If we do not enter into any transactions, our Board of Directors will consider options available to us, including whether to implement the proposed reverse split.

The Board does not intend for this transaction to be the first step in a series or plans or proposals of a "going private transaction" within the meaning of Rule 13-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

As of June 16, 2010, the trading price of our common stock was $0.05 per share. In determining whether or not to implement the reverse stock split, the board would assess a variety of factors, including without limitation analysis of our capitalization and our strategic alternatives. We cannot assure you that a reverse split would lead to a sustained increase in the trading price of our common stock, or that we will be able to consummate any transactions.

Other than as described above, we do not presently have any plans, proposals or arrangements, written or otherwise, to issue any of the newly available authorized shares of common stock for any purpose, including future acquisitions or financings.

THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT MAY NOT RESULT IN AN INCREASE IN THE PER SHARE PRICE OF THE COMMON STOCK; THERE ARE OTHER RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT.

The Board of Directors expects that a reverse stock split of the Common Stock will increase the market price of the Common Stock.  However, the Company cannot be certain whether the reverse stock split would increase the trading price for the Common Stock. The history of similar stock split combinations for companies in like circumstances is varied, with many companies losing substantial market value after a reverse stock split. There is no assurance that:
 
 
·
the trading price per share of Common Stock after the reverse stock split would rise in proportion to the reduction in the number of pre-split shares of Common Stock outstanding before the reverse stock split;

 
·
the reverse stock split would result in a per share price that would attract brokers and investors who do not trade in lower priced stocks.
 
 
5

 

The market price of the Common Stock would also be based on our performance and other factors, some of which are unrelated to the number of shares outstanding. If the reverse stock split is consummated and the trading price of the Common Stock declines, the percentage decline as an absolute number and as a percentage of the Company's overall market capitalization may be greater than would occur in the absence of the reverse stock split. Furthermore, the liquidity of the Common Stock could be adversely affected by the reduced number of shares that would be outstanding after the reverse stock split.

POTENTIAL EFFECTS OF THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

The immediate effect of a reverse split would be to reduce the number of shares of common stock outstanding, and we anticipate to increase the trading price of our common stock. However, the effect of a reverse stock split upon the market price for our common stock cannot be predicted, and the history of reverse stock splits for companies in similar circumstances is varied, with many companies losing substantial market value after a reverse stock split. We cannot assure you that the trading price of our common stock after the reverse stock split will rise in exact proportion to the reduction in the number of shares of our common stock outstanding as a result of the reverse stock split. Also, as stated above, we cannot assure you that a reverse stock split would lead to a sustained increase in the trading price of our common stock. The trading price of our common stock may change due to a variety of other factors, including our operating results, our financial condition, other factors related to our business and general market conditions.

The following table reflects the number of shares of common stock that would be outstanding as a result of the proposed reverse stock split, and the approximate percentage reduction in the number of outstanding shares, based on 96,305,617 shares of common stock outstanding as of the record date (and excluding the effects of the issuances of the shares of stock described above), as well as the number of shares of common stock that would be available for issuance after each proposed reverse stock split:

The resulting decrease in the number of shares of common stock outstanding could potentially impact the liquidity of our common stock on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board Market, especially in the case of larger block trades.

Effects on Ownership by Individual Stockholders. If a reverse split is implemented, the number of shares of common stock held by each stockholder would be reduced by dividing the number of shares held immediately before the reverse split by three (3), and then rounding up to the nearest whole share. No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the reverse split. In lieu of any fractional interest in a share to which each stockholder otherwise would be entitled as a result of the reverse split, the Company will issue to such stockholder one whole share of common stock, as described in further detail below. The reverse stock split by itself would affect our common stock uniformly and would not affect any stockholder's percentage ownership interests in the Company or proportionate voting power, except to the extent that interests in fractional shares would be rounded up to the nearest whole share, and to the extent that additional shares may be issued to Mr. Solomon if he exercises his right to convert his note into additional shares of Common Stock (166,788,200 pre-split shares/55,596,067 post split shares) when shares are available for issuance after the reverse split.

(2) Includes the 166,788,200 shares issuable to Mr. Solomon upon the conversion of the Note. Following the reverse stock split the number of shares issuable would be 55,596,067 for the Conversion Shares.

(3) Assumes the unissued 166,788,200 pre-reverse stock split Conversion Shares are issued to Mr. Solomon following the reverse stock split.  Mr. Solomon waived his right to these shares until such time as the shares become authorized.

(4) Since the issuance of all 228,788,200 would cause the number of shares outstanding to exceed the authorized shares of 100,000,000, Mr. Solomon has waived his right to these shares until such time as the shares become authorized. During the second quarter of 2010, Mr. Solomon converted $18,821 of the principal of a $69,451 convertible note payable into 62,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company.  Mr. Solomon retains the right to convert the remaining balance of the note payable of $50,630 into 166,788,200 shares of common stock when enough authorized shares become available.

Effect on Options, Warrants and Other Securities. In addition, all outstanding options and other securities entitling their holders to purchase shares of our common stock will be adjusted, if required by the terms of these securities, for the reverse stock split. In particular, the conversion ratio for each option would be reduced, and the exercise price, if applicable, would be increased, in accordance with the terms of each instrument and based on the 1 for 3 ratio of the reverse stock split. The Note will remain convertible after the reverse stock split. None of the rights currently accruing to holders of our common stock, or options or other securities convertible into common stock, will be affected by the reverse stock split.

Other Effects on Outstanding Shares. If the reverse stock split is implemented, the rights and preferences of the outstanding shares of common stock will remain the same after the reverse split. Each share of common stock issued pursuant to the reverse stock split would be fully paid and non-assessable.

The reverse stock split would result in some stockholders owning "odd-lots" of less than 100 shares of common stock. Brokerage commissions and other costs of transactions in odd-lots are generally higher than the costs of transactions in "round-lots" of even multiples of 100 shares.

Our common stock is currently registered under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. As a result, we are subject to the periodic reporting and other requirements of the Exchange Act. The proposed reverse stock split would not affect the registration of the common stock under the Exchange Act.

Effect on Authorized Shares of common stock. The reverse stock split, if implemented, would not change the number of authorized shares of common stock as designated by our certificate of incorporation. Therefore, because the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock would decrease, the number of shares remaining available for issuance under our authorized pool of common stock would increase.  In addition, we are seeking to amend our certificate of incorporation to increase the number of our authorized shares to 500,000,000 from 100,000,000, which would substantially increase the number of shares remaining available for issuance under our authorized pool of common stock.

Possible Anti-Takeover Effects. Under the proposed reverse stock split, the number of authorized shares of common stock will not be reduced. This will increase significantly the ability of our board of directors to issue authorized and unissued shares without further stockholder action. In addition, we are seeking to amend our certificate of incorporation to increase the number of our authorized shares to 500,000,000 from 100,000,000, which would substantially increase the number of shares remaining available for issuance under our authorized pool of common stock. The effective increases in the number of authorized but unissued shares of common stock may be construed as having an anti-takeover effect by permitting, for example, the issuance of shares to purchasers who might oppose a hostile takeover bid or oppose any efforts to amend or repeal certain provisions of the Company's certificate of incorporation or bylaws. As a result, management and the board might use the additional shares to resist or frustrate a third-party transaction providing an above-market premium that is favored by a majority of the independent stockholders.  In addition, following the reverse split, if Mr. Solomon exercises his option to acquire 166,788,200 shares of our Common Stock on conversion of the Note, our CEO would be able to exercise control over any corporate transactions.

Our current certificate of incorporation, bylaws, agreements, and Delaware law contain some additional anti-takeover provisions that may make more difficult or expensive or that may discourage a tender offer, change in control or takeover attempt that is opposed by our board of directors.  These provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, Delaware law and other measures we may adopt could discourage potential acquisition proposals and could delay or prevent a change in control of our company, even though a majority of our stockholders may consider such proposals, if effected, desirable. These provisions could also make it more difficult for third parties to remove and replace the members of our board of directors. Moreover, these provisions could diminish the opportunities for stockholders to participate in some tender offers, including tender offers at prices above the then-current market value of the our shares of common stock, and may also inhibit increases in the trading price of the our shares that could result from takeover attempts or speculation.

 
7

 

We have no current plans or proposals to adopt other provisions or enter into other arrangements that might have material anti-takeover consequences.  We have entered into the Merger Agreement and propose to enter into a financing transaction in connection with the Merger and the reverse stock split, which would result in a change of control if consummated.

INTERESTS OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN CONNECTION WITH THE REVERSE SPLIT

You should be aware that Steven B. Solomon, our CEO, Chairman of the Board and greater than 5% stockholder, has interests in the reverse stock split other than their interests as CDSS stockholders generally. These interests arise under some of our existing agreements which require us to issue additional shares of common stock to him that would be in excess of the amount of authorized shares of common stock that we currently have. After the reverse stock split, if it is implemented by our Board, we may issue these additional shares and Mr. Solomon may exercise his right to convert additional amounts under the note, which could result in an increase in Mr. Solomon’s ownership of CDSS shares. His interests may be different from, or in conflict with, your interests as a CDSS stockholder. The members of our board of directors were aware of these additional interests, and considered them, when they approved the reverse stock split.

These interests include, for Mr. Solomon:

 
·
We have agreed to issue 166,788,200 shares of Common Stock at such time as they become authorized or additional capital stock is available, whether by means of the increase to our authorized common stock or by the reverse stock split.  During the second quarter of 2010, Mr. Solomon converted $18,821 of his $69,451 convertible note into 62,000,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company.  Since the issuance of all 228,788,200 would have caused the number of shares outstanding to exceed our authorized number of shares of 100,000,000, Mr. Solomon had waived his right to these shares until such time as the shares were available.  Following the reverse split, Mr. Solomon would be entitled to receive 55,596,067 shares of our Common Stock as a result of converting the remaining balance of his convertible note.

 
·
Mr. Solomon owns directly or indirectly controls 68,854,484 pre-split shares of Common Stock.
 
PROCEDURE FOR EFFECTING THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT AND EXCHANGE OF STOCK CERTIFICATES

Our board of directors may elect whether or not to declare a reverse stock split, at any time before May 31, 2011. The reverse stock split would be implemented by filing the amendment to our certificate of incorporation, in substantially the form attached to this Information Statement as Annex 1, with the Delaware Secretary of State, and the reverse stock split would become effective on the date of the filing.

As of the effective date of the reverse stock split, each certificate representing shares of our common stock before the reverse stock split will be deemed, for all corporate purposes, to evidence ownership of the reduced number of shares of common stock resulting from the one-for-three reverse stock split, except that holders of unexchanged shares would not be entitled to receive any dividends or other distributions payable by the Company after the effective date until they surrender their old stock certificates for exchange. All options and other securities would also be automatically adjusted on the effective date.

Our transfer agent would act as the exchange agent for purposes of implementing the exchange of stock certificates. As soon as practicable after the effective date, stockholders and holders of securities convertible into our common stock will be notified of the effectiveness of the reverse split. Stockholders of record would receive a letter of transmittal requesting them to surrender their stock certificates for stock certificates reflecting the adjusted number of shares as a result of the one-for-three reverse stock split. Persons who hold their shares in brokerage accounts or "street name" would not be required to take any further actions to effect the exchange of their certificates. No new certificates would be issued to a stockholder until the stockholder has surrendered the stockholder's outstanding certificate(s) together with the properly completed and executed letter of transmittal to the exchange agent. Until surrender, each certificate representing shares before the reverse stock split would continue to be valid and would represent the adjusted number of shares based on the one-for-three exchange ratio of the reverse stock split, rounded up to the nearest whole share. Stockholders should not destroy any stock certificate and should not submit any certificates until they receive a letter of transmittal.

FRACTIONAL SHARES

We would not issue fractional shares in connection with the reverse stock split. Instead, any fractional share resulting from the reverse stock split would be rounded up to the nearest whole share. Stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive a fractional share because they hold a number of shares not evenly divisible by 3 would instead receive one additional whole share at no additional cost upon surrender to the exchange agent of the certificates and a properly completed and executed letter of transmittal. The number of shares to be issued in connection with rounding up such fractional interests is not expected by management of the Company to be material.

ACCOUNTING CONSEQUENCES

The par value of our common stock would remain unchanged at $0.01 per share after the reverse stock split (although we intend to decrease the par value per share from $0.01 to $0.0001 in connection with the Share Increase described in Proposal 2) and as a result, the reverse stock split will not affect the total amount of stockholders' deficit on our balance sheet.  The value of  the common stock and additional paid-in capital components of total stockholders' equity will change by equal but offsetting amounts, except for the issuance of the 55,596,067 shares of common stock to Mr. Solomon and the investors in the proposed $1.25 million private placement required in connection with the merger.  However, while we have not determined the price at which the shares will be sold in the private placement we have assumed for the purpose of discussing the accounting consequences a $0.06 per share purchase price, the closing price of our common stock on May 27, 2010.  As a result, and after the effect of the reverse stock split, 6,944,445 shares would be considered issued in the private placement and 48,651,623 shares would be considered issued to Mr. Solomon.  The effect of the issuance of the 55,596,067 shares of common stock would increase the par value of common stock by $5,560, increase additional paid in capital by $50,630, reduce the remaining principal of the note payable by $50,630, reduce debt discount by $36,422 and charge $36,422 to interest expense.  Stockholders deficit per share computed as the aggregate stockholders' deficit reported divided by the common shares outstanding would be decreased by the issuance of the 55,596,067 shares.  The increase in the number of shares outstanding would decrease loss per share as previously reported.

Except for the issuance of the shares discussed above, the reverse stock split would increase the previously reported net income or loss per share.  Stockholders' deficit value per share of our common stock would be increased as a result of the reverse stock split because there will be fewer shares of our common stock outstanding.  All historic share and per share amounts in our financial statements and related footnotes would be adjusted accordingly for the reverse stock split.  The Company does not anticipate that any material accounting consequences would arise as a result of the reverse stock split.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

The following is a summary of the material federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split.  This discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code, the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial opinions, published positions of the Internal Revenue Service, and all other applicable authorities as of the date of this document, all of which are subject to change (possibly with retroactive effect).  This discussion does not describe all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to a holder in light of his particular circumstances or to holders subject to special rules (such as dealers in securities, financial institutions, insurance companies, tax-exempt organizations, foreign individuals and entities, and persons who acquired their Common Stock as compensation).  In addition, this summary is limited to stockholders that hold their Common Stock as capital assets.  This discussion also does not address any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or foreign jurisdiction.

ACCORDINGLY, EACH STOCKHOLDER IS STRONGLY URGED TO CONSULT WITH A TAX ADVISOR TO DETERMINE THE PARTICULAR FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL OR FOREIGN INCOME OR OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES TO SUCH STOCKHOLDER OF THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT.

No gain or loss should be recognized by a stockholder upon such stockholder’s exchange of pre-reverse stock split shares for post-reverse stock split shares pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split.  The aggregate tax basis of the post-reverse stock split shares received in the Reverse Stock Split will be the same as the stockholder’s aggregate tax basis in the pre-reverse stock split shares exchanged therefore.  The stockholder’s holding period for the post-reverse stock split shares will include the period during which the stockholder held the pre-reverse stock split shares surrendered in the Reverse Stock Split.

The tax treatment of each stockholder may vary depending upon the particular facts and circumstances of such stockholder.  Each stockholder is urged to consult with such stockholder’s own tax advisor with respect to all of the potential tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split.

PROPOSAL 2
THE SHARE INCREASE
 
The Board has determined that it would be in the best interests of the Company to approve the Share Increase, including the increase in the number of authorized shares of our common stock from 100,000,000 to 500,000,000 and the reduction in the par value of our shares from $0.01 to $0.0001 per share.
 
Mr. Solomon, holder of a majority of the Company’s shares, has granted the Board the authority, in its sole discretion, to amend the Certificate of Incorporation for the purpose of effecting the Share Increase. By voting in favor of this proposal, the majority shareholders granted the Board authority to effectuate the Share Increase, in its sole discretion, for a period of one (1) year, up until May 31, 2011.
 
REASONS FOR THE SHARE INCREASE
 
As described above, we do not have sufficient authorized shares to issue the shares of common stock that remain issuable on conversion of the note held by Mr. Solomon, to issue shares in connection with the proposed merger, or to issue shares in connection with the proposed private placement we intend to enter into in connection with the proposed merger.  We intend to inquire into business acquisition opportunities, and have entered into the merger agreement and intend to enter into the proposed private placement. Our goal is to increase stockholder value by changing our operations to a business that has the potential to generate greater returns to our stockholders and potential investors than the business we are currently in. Our authorized shares of Common Stock will need to be increased in order for the Company to have the necessary flexibility and ability to act quickly in connection with any business acquisition opportunities, to complete the merger and the private placement, and to issue the remaining shares issuable on conversion of Mr. Solomon’s note. We intend to pursue the proposed private placement, closing of which is a condition precedent to the merger, following adoption of this proposal. While CDSS has discussed the private placement at the board level and CDSS is actively pursuing the reverse stock split and share increase proposals in order to authorize the additional shares of common stock that would be required to complete the private placement, CDSS has not engaged in discussions with third parties regarding the proposed private placement at this time.   Following adoption of these proposals, we intend to seek to complete the private placement.  We currently anticipate that we will issue the new shares of our common stock to a limited number of accredited investors with existing relationships with the principals of CDSS and GEM in a private placement under Rule 506 under the Securities Act of 1933 or other available exemption.   As described in this Information Statement, we intend to reduce, by the number of shares to be issued in the private placement, the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the convertible promissory note held by Steven B. Solomon, our Chief Executive Officer.
  
CURRENT CAPITALIZATION
 
As of June 16, 2010, there are 1,000,000 shares of $.01 par value preferred stock authorized, of which none are outstanding. There are 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock authorized. Of such authorized Common Stock, there are 96,305,617 shares outstanding.
 
EFFECTIVENESS OF THE SHARE INCREASE
 
The Share Increase will be effective upon the filing of the amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, the Company's state of incorporation. Our Board has discretion not to carry out the Share Increase if it determines that these actions will not be beneficial.
 
Currently, we plan to file the amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, in the form attached as Annex 2, prior to effectiveness of the merger. There can be no assurance that the Company will complete the merger or related transactions.
 
EFFECTS OF THE SHARE INCREASE
 
The overall effect will be an increase in the authorized shares of the Company’s common stock from 100,000,000 to 500,000,000 and a reduction in the par value of our shares from $0.01 to $0.0001 per share. The unissued shares may be issued by our Board in its discretion. Any future issuance will have the effect of diluting the percentage of stock ownership and voting rights of the present holders of Common Stock.

The Board believes it advisable to increase in the number of authorized shares and reduce the par value per share for the reasons set forth above. However, this action is not being recommended by the Board as part of an anti-takeover strategy although the Board is aware that the increase in the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock may have a potential anti-takeover effect. Our ability to issue additional shares could be used to thwart persons, or otherwise dilute the stock ownership of stockholders seeking to control us.
 
There is no accounting consequence to the increase in authorized shares.  The effect of the change in par value from $0.01 per share to $0.0001 will result an increase to additional paid-in capital and a decrease to common stock of equal and offsetting amounts computed using the number of shares outstanding at the date of the change in par value.  In addition, there would be no change to total stockholders’ deficit or earnings per share from an increase in authorized shares or a change in par value per share.

AMENDMENT TO CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

If approved, the first paragraph of Article IV of the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation shall be amended to read in its entirety as follows:

"The total number of shares of all classes of stock which the Corporation shall have authority to issue is 501,000,000, of which 500,000,000 shares of the par value of $0.0001 per share shall be a separate class designated as Common Stock and 1,000,000 shares of the par value of $0.0001 per share shall be a separate class designated as Preferred Stock."

The proposed amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation necessary to increase the number of authorized shares of the Company's common stock from 100,000,000 to 500,000,000 and reduce the par value from $0.01 per share to $0.0001 per share is described above.  A copy of the Certificate of Amendment to Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation which will accomplish this change is attached as Annex 2.

PROPOSAL 3
THE MERGER

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE MERGER
 
Following are questions and related answers that address some of the questions you may have regarding the pending merger transaction between GEM and CDSS, the share increase, the reverse split and related matters. These questions and answers may not contain all of the information relevant to you, do not purport to summarize all material information relating to the merger agreement, the charter amendments, or any of the other matters discussed in this information statement, and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by, the more detailed information contained or incorporated by reference in or attached to this information statement. Therefore, please carefully read this information statement, including the attached annexes, in its entirety.
 
Q: WHY ARE WE PROPOSING THE MERGER?
 
A: We believe that a merger between GEM and CDSS presents an opportunity to enhance stockholder value for both companies. CDSS is a shell corporation with no active operations, and substantially no operating assets or liabilities. Its common stock is traded on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol “CWDW,” and has an active trading market. GEM has substantial business opportunities, but there is no public market for its common stock. The combination of the two companies and the access to an active trading market could provide liquidity for GEM investors and provide GEM with increased visibility within the investor community. The merger will also create a combined company with the potential of raising additional capital to finance further development of GEM’s products if needed. Stockholders of the combined company will be able to participate in the growth and opportunities that result from the merger.
 
To review the reasons for the merger in greater detail, see the section entitled “The Merger - Reasons for the Merger.”
 
Q: WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN THE MERGER?
 
A: In the proposed merger, CDSS Merger Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CDSS, will merge with and into GEM and, as a result, GEM will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of CDSS. In connection with the merger, CDSS will change its name to “Green Energy Management Services Holdings, Inc.” The merger agreement and amendments, which govern the merger, are attached to this information statement as Annexes 3, 4 and 4A. You are encouraged to read them carefully.
 
Q: WHAT WILL I RECEIVE IN THE MERGER?
 
A: If the merger is completed, each GEM stockholders’ shares will be converted into 0.352 shares of CDSS common stock. For example, if a GEM shareholder owned 1,000 shares of GEM common stock, those shares will be converted into 352 shares of CDSS common stock after the merger. There will be no exchange of stock certificates held by existing CDSS stockholders in connection with the merger. The shares of CDSS common stock that GEM stockholders receive will be restricted under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), just as shares of GEM common stock were restricted immediately prior to the merger. CDSS common stock is listed on Over the Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol “CWDW.” There will be no fractional shares exchanged in the merger, and there will be no need to pay cash in lieu of fractional shares.
 
If you are a CDSS stockholder, immediately prior to the effectiveness of the merger, pursuant to the reverse stock split described in Proposal 1, every 3 shares of CDSS common stock shall automatically be converted into one share of CDSS common stock. We will issue one additional share in the event that you would own a fractional share as a result of the reverse stock split.
 
Q: IS THE MERGER PROPOSAL CONTINGENT ON PROPOSALS 1 AND 2?

A: Yes.  Proposal No. 3 is contingent on approval of Proposals No. 1 (the Reverse Stock Split) and No. 2 (the Share Increase). Therefore, if our stockholders do not approve the Reverse Stock Split and the Share Increase, we will not proceed with the Merger, as we would not have sufficient shares of common stock to complete the Merger.
 
Q: WHAT ARE THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGER ON GEM STOCKHOLDERS?
 
A: The material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger are described in more detail in the section entitled “The Merger — Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences”. The tax consequences of the merger to you will depend upon your particular situation. You should consult your own tax advisor for a full understanding of the federal, state, local and foreign income and other tax consequences of the merger.
 
Q: SHOULD STOCKHOLDERS SEND IN THEIR STOCK CERTIFICATES NOW?
 
A: No. CDSS will not be exchanging physical securities after the merger becomes effective.  At the time of closing of the merger, CDSS will instruct its transfer agent to adjust the stock ledger of CDSS to reflect the effects of the reverse stock split and the merger on the shares of CDSS stock held by current CDSS shareholders.  It will not be necessary for an exchange of physical securities to occur in order to reflect your new ownership interest. 

 
12

 

Q: WHEN DO YOU EXPECT TO COMPLETE THE MERGER?
 
A: GEM and CDSS are working to complete the merger as quickly as practicable, and expect to complete the merger during the second quarter of 2010; however, the exact timing cannot be predicted.
 
Q: DO I HAVE APPRAISAL OR DISSENTER’S RIGHTS?
 
A: Yes, those holders of GEM common stock who have not consented to the merger are entitled to exercise appraisal rights in connection with the merger, subject to compliance with applicable procedures under Delaware law, as described in this information statement. Because CDSS’s stockholders are not being asked to relinquish their shares in connection with the merger, they are not entitled to appraisal rights.
 
The shareholders of GEM common stock unanimously approved this merger.  Those GEM shareholders who consented to the merger have waived their appraisal and dissenter’s rights under applicable Delaware law.
 
Q: WHOM SHOULD I CALL WITH QUESTIONS?
 
A: If you have any questions about the proposed merger or if you need additional copies of the information statement or the enclosed information, please call or write:
 
Green Energy Management Services, Inc.
381 Teaneck Road
Teaneck, NJ 07666
Attn: Robert Weinstein
(201) 530-1200
 
CDSS Wind Down Inc.
2100 McKinney Avenue, Suite 1500
Dallas, TX 75201
Attn: Steven B. Solomon
(214) 750-2454
 
Q: ARE THE CDSS STOCKHOLDERS ALSO REQUIRED TO APPROVE THE MERGER?
 
A: Yes. The holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding common stock of CDSS, considered, voted on and adopted the proposal to approve entering into the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and to approve the merger, the reverse stock split, and the share increase. This consent of stockholders is sufficient to approve entering into the transactions. Accordingly, the actions will not be submitted to the other CDSS stockholders for a vote.
 
Q: WILL MY RIGHTS AS A GEM STOCKHOLDER CHANGE AS A RESULT OF THE MERGER?
 
A: No. Because the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of CDSS are being amended and restated at the time of the merger to read substantially the same as the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of GEM, your rights as a GEM stockholder will not change. There is a summary comparison of the rights of stockholders of CDSS and GEM starting on page 70 of this information statement.
 
If you are a CDSS stockholder, your rights will change because the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of CDSS are being amended and restated as described in this information statement. Additionally, the par value of your shares will change from $0.01 to $0.0001. Also, as a result of the reverse stock split and merger, CDSS stockholders will own approximately 87.7 million shares in the combined company, while GEM stockholders will own approximately 351 million shares in the combined company. Accordingly, your percentage ownership in CDSS will substantially decrease to approximately 20% of your prior ownership percentage as a result of the merger.
 
Q: IS EVERYONE TREATED EQUALLY IN THE MERGER AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS?
 
A: No. A number of directors and officers of GEM may have interests in the merger agreement and the merger that are different from those of GEM stockholders who are not also directors and officers. In addition, Steven B. Solomon, an officer, director and majority shareholder of CDSS, will have registration rights related to his shares, and will be able to exercise his conversion rights under his promissory note if the reverse split and share increase are adopted. These differences are explained in more detail on page 34 of this information statement.

 
13

 

Q: WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF THE MERGER IS NOT COMPLETED?
 
A: If the merger is not completed for any reason, GEM and CDSS may be subject to a number of other risks. GEM will continue to have no active trading market for its common stock, which would have an adverse impact on its ability to avail itself of the public markets for additional financing. CDSS will have no operating business and will continue as a shell. Both companies will incur the expenses associated with attempting to effectuate the merger and the transactions, and GEM may be required to pay a termination fee to CDSS in certain circumstances. The failure to consummate the merger could have an adverse impact on the price and trading of CDSS’s common stock.
 
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
Any statements in this document about expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance are not historical facts and are forward-looking statements. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “predict,” “potential,” “believe,” “will likely result,” “expect,” “will continue,” “anticipate,” “seek,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “projection,” “would” and “outlook,” and similar expressions. Accordingly, these statements involve estimates, assumptions and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in them. Any forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the factors discussed throughout this document. The following cautionary statements identify important factors that could cause GEM’s, CDSS’s or the combined company’s actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements made in this document. Among the key factors that have a direct bearing on GEM’s, CDSS’s or the combined company’s results of operations are:
 
·
general economic and business conditions; the existence or absence of adverse publicity; changes in marketing and technology; changes in political, social and economic conditions;

·
competition in and general risks of the industries in which GEM operates;

·
success of acquisitions and operating initiatives; changes in business strategy or development plans; management of growth;

·
dependence on senior management; business abilities and judgment of personnel; availability of qualified personnel; labor and employee benefit costs;

·
ability of GEM to retain and hire key executives, technical personnel and other employees;

·
ability of GEM to manage its growth and the difficulty of successfully managing a larger, more geographically dispersed organization;

·
ability of GEM to manage successfully its changing relationships with customers, suppliers, value-added resellers and strategic partners;

·
the impact of government regulation;

·
volatility in the stock price of CDSS;

·
the need and ability of GEM to obtain sufficient financing to meet potential capital requirements;

·
market acceptance of each of the companies’ products and services and the acceptance of GEM’s customers of GEM’s existing and new product and services offerings; and

·
the timing of other conditions associated with the completion of the merger, including without limitation the ability to raise $1.25 million in a private placement as a condition precedent to the merger.

 
14

 

These factors and the risk factors referred to below could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by CDSS, and you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made and CDSS undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement or statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for CDSS to predict which will arise. In addition, CDSS cannot assess the impact of each factor on CDSS or the combined companies or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

The Companies
(Pages 50 and 60)
 
Green Energy Management Services, Inc.

GEM was incorporated in Delaware in March 2010.  GEM recently acquired Southside Electric, Inc., a New Jersey electrical contractor headquartered in Teaneck, New Jersey.  In connection with that acquisition, GEM moved its principal executive offices to 381 Teaneck Road, Teaneck, NJ 07666.

GEM is primarily involved in the distribution of energy efficient light induction units (the “Units”) to end users who utilize substantial quantities of electricity.  It maintains business operations on a nationwide basis, distributing products and services to municipal and commercial customers.

GEM has since its inception investigated a number of sources of capitalization and funding for its business operations.  Its business model relies heavily on sharing with its customers the cost savings associated with the installation of the Units.  As such, GEM requires sufficient working capital to install the Units, with its compensation coming principally after cost savings are recognized.
 
CDSS Wind Down Inc.
 
CDSS was incorporated in Delaware in December 1996.  Its principal executive offices are located at 2100 McKinney Avenue, Suite 1500, Dallas, Texas 75201.  

The business was operated from May 17, 2002 until the sale of substantially all of its assets to McAfee, Inc. on December 4, 2006 when its operations ceased.   On December 4, 2006, Citadel Security Software Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, "Citadel" or the “Company”) closed the sale of substantially all of its assets to McAfee Security, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of McAfee, Inc., pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Asset Purchase Agreement") between the Company and McAfee, Inc. and a subsidiary ("McAfee").  On December 12, 2006, Citadel Security Software Inc. changed its name to CDSS Wind Down Inc. (“CDSS”).  The Asset Purchase Agreement provided for the acquisition of substantially all of the assets (the “Assets”) and the assumption of certain identified liabilities of CDSS by McAfee (collectively, the "Sale").  The cash consideration received by CDSS for the purchase of the Assets and operating expense reimbursement was $60,020,579 in immediately available funds.  A distribution of $0.50 per share was made on January 5, 2007 to shareholders of record on January 2, 2007.  From December 5, 2006 and prior to December 31, 2009, all known liabilities associated with our prior operations were settled and all distributions to shareholders were made.

Up to and until the sale of substantially all of its assets, the Company was engaged in the development, marketing and licensing of security software products to large enterprises and government agencies.   Following the Sale, the Company has had no operations and no employees but has incurred costs and expenses associated with the wind down activities conducted under its prior plan of liquidation and dissolution (the “Plan of Liquidation”) and the costs to remain in SEC reporting compliance.

During 2009, the Board of Directors considered alternatives to liquidating or dissolving the Company including the potential for commencing a development stage company or the potential for acquiring an operating company in a merger or asset purchase transaction and determined on November 16, 2009 to terminate the Plan of Liquidation previously approved by the Board of Directors on October 13, 2006 and by the shareholders of the Company on December 1, 2006.   

 
16

 

Currently, CDSS has no active business operations.

On April 30, 2004 the Company’s stock moved from the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) exchange to the NASDAQ Capital Market and traded under the symbol "CDSS".  On May 5, 2006 the Company's stock moved to the OTCBB following a delisting notice form the NASDAQ for failure to meet the $1 per share minimum trading price.  On January 11, 2007 the trading symbol became "CWDW" resulting from the name change described above.
 
CDSS Merger Corporation
 
c/o CDSS Wind Down Inc.
2100 McKinney Avenue, Suite 1500
Dallas, TX 75201
 
CDSS formed CDSS Merger Corporation solely for the purpose of effecting the merger. To date, the merger subsidiary has not conducted any activities other than those incidental to its formation and the execution of the merger agreement and related documents. Upon completion of the merger, the merger subsidiary will be merged with and into GEM and the separate existence of the merger subsidiary will end.
 
Approval of the Boards of Directors
(Page 38)
 
Our respective boards of directors have determined that the merger is in the best interests of GEM and CDSS and their stockholders and unanimously approved the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated in the merger agreement and related documents. To review the factors considered by the boards of directors, see “The Merger - Reasons for the Merger.”
 
Written Consent; Record Date
(Page 2)
 
Under Delaware corporate law and both companies’ bylaws, the companies’ stockholders may approve the merger and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement by written consent of stockholders holding a majority of outstanding common stock. On March 20, 2010, at a duly-noticed shareholders meeting at which representatives of the beneficial owners of all shares of GEM stock were either present or voting by proxy, the shareholders unanimously approved the merger with CWDW.
 
On April 30, 2010, Steven B. Solomon exercised his right to convert a portion of the convertible promissory note and acquired 62,000,000 shares of CDSS's common stock, which, when combined with the approximately 6.9 million shares he then owned as of that date, constituted 71.5% of the outstanding shares of common stock of CDSS.  Mr. Solomon executed a written consent to approve the merger and any other transactions contemplated in the merger agreement, including the reverse stock split, and the share increase.  June 16, 2010 was the record date for determining the CDSS stockholders entitled to receive notice of stockholder action by written consent and receive this information statement. This was also the record date for determining the number of shares of CDSS common stock outstanding and therefore the number of votes necessary to adopt the merger agreement and approve the related transactions. On June 16, 2010, there were 96,305,617 shares of CDSS common stock outstanding and entitled to vote, with each share entitled to one vote.
 
Notwithstanding the execution and delivery of the written consents, federal securities laws provide that the merger may not be completed until 20 calendar days after the date this information statement is mailed to our stockholders. Therefore, the merger cannot be completed until that time has elapsed. We currently expect the merger to be completed as soon as the expiration of that 20 calendar day period, subject to obtaining all other regulatory approvals and other closing conditions.
 
The Merger
(Page 38)
 
In the proposed merger, CDSS Merger Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CDSS will merge into GEM, with GEM as the surviving corporation. As a result, GEM will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of CDSS. Upon the effectiveness of the merger, CDSS’s name will be changed to “Green Energy Management Services Holdings, Inc.” THE MERGER AGREEMENT AND AMENDMENTS ARE ATTACHED TO THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT AS ANNEX 3, ANNEX 4 AND ANNEX 4A. YOU ARE ENCOURAGED TO READ THEM CAREFULLY.

What Will GEM Shareholders Receive in the Merger
(Page 46)
 
In the merger, each share of GEM common stock will be converted into the right to receive 0.352 shares of CDSS common stock.

Ownership of CDSS After the Merger
(Page 46)

GEM and CDSS estimate that, after giving effect to the reverse stock split of CDSS the common stock, the share increase and the private placement, the number of shares of CDSS common stock to be issued to GEM stockholders in the merger will constitute approximately 80% of the outstanding common stock of the combined company after the merger.

The completion of the merger depends on the satisfaction or waiver of a number of conditions set forth in the merger agreement, including the following:

For a description of the reasons considered by the GEM board of directors, please see the section entitled “The Merger -Reasons for the Merger” beginning on page 38.
 
For a description of the reasons considered by the CDSS board of directors, please see the section entitled “The Merger -Reasons for the Merger” beginning on page 38.
 
Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences
(Page 40)
 
The merger is intended to be treated as a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, in which case you would not recognize gain or loss on the exchange of GEM common stock for CDSS stock. However, neither GEM nor CDSS intends to request a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service, and neither GEM nor CDSS intends to request an opinion of their tax advisors, regarding the income or other tax consequences of the merger. No assurance can be given that the Internal Revenue Service or the courts will agree that the merger qualifies as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a). Furthermore, the tax consequences of the merger to you will depend on your own personal circumstances. Thus, you should consult your tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of the merger.
 
Accounting Treatment
(Page 43)
 
The merger will be treated as a recapitalization of GEM. GEM will be deemed the accounting acquirer under generally accepted accounting principles. The combined companies’ operating results will be consolidated as of the consummation of the merger.
 
Interests of Directors and Officers in the Merger
(Page 43)
 
GEM’s directors and executive officers have interests in the merger that are different from, or are in addition to, those of other stockholders that may make them more likely to approve and adopt the merger agreement and approve the merger. The merger agreement provides that the officers and directors of CDSS will resign effective as of the closing of the merger, and that the officers and directors of GEM immediately prior to the merger shall become the officers and directors of CDSS. Specifically, Michael Samuel and William “Chip” D’Angelo will become the directors of CDSS upon the effectiveness of the merger. Steven B. Solomon, John Leide, Chris A. Economou, Joe M. Allbaugh and Mark Rogers will receive registration rights with respect to their shares of CDSS stock.
 
The members of GEM’s board of directors were aware of, and considered the interests of, themselves and GEM’s executive officers in approving the merger and adopting the merger agreement.
 
The members of CDSS’s board of directors and special committee were aware of, and considered the interests of, themselves and CDSS’s executive officers in approving the merger and adopting the merger agreement.
 
Dissenters’ or Appraisal Rights
(Page 43)
 
Under the laws of Delaware, where GEM is incorporated, holders of GEM common stock who have not consented to the merger and comply with the applicable requirements of Delaware law will have the right to receive an appraisal of the value of their shares in connection with the merger and to be paid such value in cash.

Unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information
 
The unaudited pro forma financial statements reflect the merger between GEM and CDSS as though it occurred as of the dates indicated herein From a legal standpoint, CDSS is considered to be the acquirer. As the former shareholders of GEM will end up with approximately 80% of the outstanding voting common stock of CDSS and CDSS is a public shell company, from an accounting standpoint the transaction is considered to be a recapitalization of GEM.
 
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and related notes follow the legal form of the transaction presented to show the pro forma effects of the recapitalization of GEM assuming the merger been consummated as of December 31, 2009 and as of March 31, 2010 for the balance sheet and as of the beginning of the period for the year ended December 31, 2009 and the three months ended March 31, 2010 for the statements of operations.

Pro forma data are based on assumptions and include adjustments as explained in the notes to the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements. The pro forma data are not necessarily indicative of the financial results that would have been attained had the merger occurred on the dates referenced above and should not be viewed as indicative of operations in future periods.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with the notes thereto, and the CDSS and GEM financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2009 and the unaudited financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2010 included in this information statement.

Risk Factors
 
YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING FACTORS, IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER INFORMATION INCLUDED ELSEWHERE IN THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT AND THE DOCUMENTS THAT GEM AND CDSS HAVE FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. UNLESS THE CONTEXT REQUIRES OTHERWISE, THE USE OF THE COMPANIES, THE COMBINED COMPANY, “US,” OR “WE” REFERS TO THE COMBINED COMPANY OF GEM AND CDSS AFTER GIVING EFFECT TO THE MERGER. ADDITIONAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES NOT PRESENTLY KNOWN TO GEM AND CDSS OR THAT ARE NOT CURRENTLY BELIEVED TO BE IMPORTANT TO YOU, IF THEY MATERIALIZE, ALSO MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE MERGER AND THE PRICE OF OUR STOCK.

The following matters, among other things, may have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, liquidity, or results of operations of the Company.   Reference to these factors in the context of a forward-looking statement or statements shall be deemed to be a statement that any one or more of the following factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those in such forward-looking statement or statements.   Before you invest in our common stock, you should be aware of various risks, including those described below.   Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk.  You should carefully consider these risk factors, together with all of the other information included in this Report, before you decide whether to purchase shares of our common stock.  Our business and results of operations could be seriously harmed by any of the following risks.  The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose part or all of your investment.
 
Risks related to CDSS

WE HAVE A HISTORY OF NET LOSSES AND WILL NEED ADDITIONAL FINANCING TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN.

We have no revenues or earnings from operations, and there is a risk that we will be unable to continue as a going concern and consummate a business combination or other similar transaction.  We have no significant assets or financial resources.  We will, in all likelihood, sustain operating expenses without corresponding revenues, at least until the consummation of a merger or other business combination.  This may result in our incurring a net operating loss that will increase unless we consummate a business combination with a profitable business.  We cannot assure you that we can identify a suitable business opportunity and consummate a business combination, or that any such business will be profitable at the time of its acquisition by us or ever.

Historically, we have incurred recurring operating losses and have a stockholders' deficit at December 31, 2009 of approximately $164,000.  We had a cash balance of $581 at December 31, 2009 and gross current liabilities of approximately $277,000 before a non-cash note discount of approximately $60,000.  We expect that we will incur losses at least until we complete a business combination and perhaps after such a combination as well.  There can be no assurances that we will ever be profitable.   We have limited access to capital, no plans to raise capital and no third party sources of capital at December 31, 2009.  Our past funding needs of the business have been provided by financings through cash advances received from and notes payable issued to our Chief Executive Officer.   There can be no assurance that such funds will be available from this related party in the future.   Without additional funds there is an uncertainty as to whether we can continue as a going concern.

OUR CEO BENEFICIALLY OWNS A MAJORITY OF OUR VOTING SHARES.

On August 27, 2008, we and Steven B. Solomon, our Chief Executive Officer, President and Chairman of the Board of Directors, entered into a Convertible Promissory Note (the "Note").  The Note represents advances of approximately $69,451 made by Mr. Solomon to us through the issue date of the Note.   The Note bears interest at eight percent (8%) per year and is payable on August 27, 2010 or upon demand by Mr. Solomon.   If the Note had been converted in full, at December 31, 2009, Mr. Solomon would have received approximately 228,788,200 shares of the Company's common stock resulting in a beneficial ownership of 235,642,684 shares of the Company’s common stock by our CEO giving him potential control of the Company through the voting power over a majority of the shares of outstanding common stock.  During the second quarter of 2010, Mr. Solomon converted $18,821 of the convertible note payable into 62,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company, giving him more than 70% of the voting power and effective control of the Company.  Mr. Solomon retains the right to convert the remaining balance of the note payable of $50,630 into 166,788,200 shares of common stock when enough authorized shares become available.

 
28

 

WE HAVE NO OPERATIONS AND NO ASSURANCES OF BEGINNING OPERATIONS OR THAT WE WILL BE SUCCESSFUL IN IDENTIFYING, INITIATING OR ACQUIRING A BUSINESS.

At a Special Meeting of Stockholders held on December 1, 2006, our stockholders approved a plan of liquidation and dissolution (the "Plan of Dissolution"), previously approved by our board of directors on October 13, 2006.  In connection with the closing of the Asset Sale on December 4, 2006, our business and operations were effectively transferred to McAfee pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, and we no longer have any significant operating assets or contracts.   Our current activities are limited to

 
§
preparing and filing ongoing tax returns;
 
§
complying with our Securities and Exchange Commission reporting requirements; and
 
§
records storage.

From December 5, 2006 through December 31, 2009, all known liabilities associated with our prior operations were settled and all distributions to shareholders were made.   On November 16, 2009 the Board of Directors terminated the Plan of Liquidation previously approved by the Board of Directors on October 13, 2006 and by the shareholders of the Company on December 1, 2006.   Having discussed alternatives to liquidating or dissolving the Company, the Board of Directors considered alternatives to dissolution including the potential for commencing a development stage company or the potential for acquiring an operating company in a merger or asset purchase transaction.   While we have entered into the Merger Agreement, we cannot assure you that the Merger will be completed or that any suitable companies or operations may be identified, initiated or acquired in the future if the Merger is not completed.

OUR STOCK IS TRADED IN THE OVER THE COUNTER MARKET.

Our common stock trades on the OTC Bulletin Board.   The OTC Bulletin Board is generally considered to be a less efficient market, and our stock price, as well as the liquidity of our common stock, may be adversely impacted as a result.  The OTC Bulletin Board requires that listed companies remain current in their filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.   If we are unable to remain current in our SEC filings, due to lack of funds or personnel or otherwise, we could be delisted from the OTC Bulletin Board, and our stock would trade, if at all, on the pink sheets.

OUR STOCK PRICE IS SUBJECT TO SIGNIFICANT FLUCTUATIONS AND VOLATILITY.

Due to the factors noted in this Report and other factors, our stock price has been and may continue to be subject to significant volatility.   We have experienced no revenue or earnings which have had an immediate and significant adverse effect on the trading price of our common stock.   This may occur again in the future.

IF WE LOSE THE SERVICES OF ANY OF OUR KEY PERSONNEL, INCLUDING OUR CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER OR OUR DIRECTORS, OUR BUSINESS MAY SUFFER.

We are dependent on our key officers, including Steven B. Solomon, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and our directors.  Our business could be negatively impacted if we were to lose the services of one or more of these persons.   In addition, the loss of our CEO would eliminate our only source of funds to maintain compliance reporting requirements.

WE MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY RECENT EVENTS IN THE CAPITAL AND CREDIT MARKETS.

Recent declines in consumer and business confidence and spending, together with severe reductions in the availability and cost of credit as well as volatility in the capital and credit markets, have adversely affected business and economic environments.   Any proposed acquisition is exposed to risks associated with the creditworthiness of suppliers, customers and business partners.   In particular, we may be exposed to risks associated with the ongoing decline of the markets.   These conditions have resulted in financial instability or other adverse effects at many prospective business partners.   Any of these events may adversely affect our cash flow, profitability and financial condition.

Moreover, the current worldwide financial crisis has reduced the availability of liquidity and credit to fund or support the continuation and expansion of business operations worldwide.   Many lenders and institutional investors have reduced and, in some cases, ceased to provide funding to borrowers.   Continued disruption of the credit markets has affected and could continue to adversely affect our ability to access credit from any proposed business combination.

 
29

 

OUR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS HAVE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST.

We intend to enter into a shareholders agreement in connection with the Merger, pursuant to which Mr. Solomon and other directors, among other parties, will receive registration rights to permit them to resell their shares of our stock.  In addition, if we do not complete the Merger, the possibility exists that we may acquire or merge with a different business or company in which our executive officers, directors, beneficial owners or their affiliates may have an ownership interest.  A transaction of this nature would present a conflict of interest for those parties with a managerial position and/or an ownership interest in both the Company and the acquired entity.  An independent appraisal of the acquired company may or may not be obtained in the event a related party transaction is contemplated.

WE MAY BE SUBJECT TO FINAL EXAMINATIONS BY TAXING AUTHORITIES ACROSS VARIOUS JURISDICTIONS WHICH MAY IMPACT THE AMOUNT OF TAXES THAT WE PAY.

In evaluating the exposure associated with various tax filing positions, we accrue charges for probable exposures.  At December 31, 2009, we believe we have no probable exposures.  To the extent we were not to prevail in matters for which accruals would have been established or be required to pay amounts in excess of any such accruals, our effective tax rate in a given financial statement period could be materially affected.  Significant judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes.  In the ordinary course of business, there are many transactions for which the ultimate tax outcome is uncertain.  Our reported results may be subject to final examination by taxing authorities.  Because many transactions are subject to varying interpretations of the applicable federal, state or foreign tax laws, our reported tax liabilities and taxes may be subject to change at a later date upon final determination by the taxing authorities.  The impact of this final determination on our estimated tax obligations could increase or decrease amounts of cash available to us, perhaps significantly.

OUR ASSUMPTIONS REGARDING THE FEDERAL TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE ASSET SALE MAY BE INACCURATE.

The Sale was a taxable transaction to us for federal and state income tax purposes.  We recognized a gain on the Sale and remitted the taxes computed and reported to the respective federal and state tax jurisdictions.  After filing of federal income tax returns by us and our subsidiaries, we utilized net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $44 million, including losses arising prior to and after the date of our 2002 spin-off from our former parent company, to offset taxable income for the year ended December 31, 2006.  We believe we have sufficient usable net operating losses to offset substantially all of the income or gain computed and reported by us for federal and state income tax purposes, including any alternative minimum tax, resulting from the Sale. Until such time as the statute of limitations expires in each of the tax jurisdictions there can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service or other relevant state tax authorities will ultimately assent to our tax treatment of the asset sale or utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards to offset the taxable income ultimately determined by a relevant tax authority.  To the extent the Internal Revenue Service or any relevant state tax authorities ultimately prevail in re-characterizing the tax treatment of the asset sale or the utilization net operating loss carryforwards, there may be adverse tax consequences to us and our stockholders, including that we could owe income taxes in an amount up to the entire purchase price and our common stockholders could be required to return any distributions they have received.

OUR ASSUMPTION THAT WE WILL NOT HAVE TO PAY TEXAS FRANCHISE TAX AS A RESULT OF THE CLOSING OF THE ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT MAY BE INACCURATE.

We do not believe we will be obligated to pay any Texas franchise tax as a result of the closing of the Asset Sale.  Beneficial ownership of all of our assets was held by our subsidiary Canberra Operating, L.P., a Texas limited partnership, and Texas franchise tax did not apply to dispositions of assets by limited partnerships.  To confirm our position, following the closing we applied to the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts for a statement that no franchise or sales tax was due as a result of the closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement.  If the Texas Comptroller challenges our position, we could be required to pay the Texas franchise tax and our stockholders could be required to return any distributions they have received.

FAILURE TO ACHIEVE AND MAINTAIN EFFECTIVE INTERNAL CONTROLS IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 404 OF THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002 COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS AND STOCK PRICE.

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“the Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) requires that we establish and maintain an adequate internal control structure and procedures for financial reporting and include a report of management on our internal control over financial reporting in our annual report on Form 10-K.  That report must contain an assessment by management of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and must include disclosure of any material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting that we have identified.

 
30

 

We have identified material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting.  See “Item 9A(T)—Controls and Procedures—Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting” for a discussion of these material weaknesses.  During 2009 and as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we strengthened our processes regarding documentation deficiencies and increased the involvement of the board of directors to improve the lack of segregation of duties as discussed at Item 9A(T)—“Controls and Procedures—Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting” but there can be no assurance that these measures have been or will be successful.   If we are unsuccessful, our business and operating results could be harmed and the reliability of our financial statements could be impaired, which could adversely affect our stock price.  The requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act are ongoing, costly and also apply to future years.  We cannot assure you that in the future additional material weaknesses or significant deficiencies will not exist or otherwise be discovered or that we will have sufficient cash available to improve deficient internal controls.

Risks Relating to the Proposed Merger
 
GEM AND CDSS MAY NOT ACHIEVE THE BENEFITS THEY EXPECT FROM THE MERGER, WHICH MAY HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE COMPANIES’ BUSINESS, FINANCIAL, AND OPERATING RESULTS.
 
GEM and CDSS entered into the merger agreement with the expectation that the merger will result in benefits to the combined company arising out of the combination of the businesses of GEM and active trading market for CDSS’s common stock. To realize any benefits from the merger, the combined company’s stock must continue to trade on the OTCBB following the merger. In addition, we will face the following post-merger challenges:
 
 
·
retaining the management and employees of GEM;

 
·
developing new products and services that utilize the assets and resources of GEM; and

 
·
retaining existing strategic partners and suppliers of GEM.

If the combined company is not successful in addressing these and other challenges, then the benefits of the merger will not be realized and, as a result, the combined company’s operating results and the market price of CDSS’s common stock may be adversely affected. These challenges, if not successfully met by the combined company, could result in possible unanticipated liabilities, unanticipated costs, diversion of management attention and loss of personnel. Neither GEM nor CDSS can assure you that we will be able to profitably manage the combined company.
 
THE ISSUANCE OF SHARES OF CDSS’S COMMON STOCK TO GEM STOCKHOLDERS IN THE MERGER WILL SUBSTANTIALLY DILUTE THE PERCENTAGE OWNERSHIP INTERESTS OF CURRENT CDSS STOCKHOLDERS.
 
If the merger is completed, it is anticipated that CDSS will issue to GEM stockholders approximately 352 million shares of CDSS common stock. Upon completion of the merger, the former GEM stockholders will be issued shares of our common stock, representing in the aggregate approximately 80% of CDSS common stock on a fully-diluted basis immediately following the merger. The issuance of CDSS common stock to GEM stockholders will cause a significant reduction in the relative percentage interest of current CDSS stockholders in CDSS’s earnings, if any, voting power and market capitalization.
 
IF WE PROCEED WITH THE MERGER, GEM STOCKHOLDERS WILL RECEIVE 0.352 SHARES OF CDSS COMMON STOCK FOR EACH SHARE OF GEM COMMON STOCK REGARDLESS OF CHANGES IN THE MARKET VALUE OF CDSS COMMON STOCK.
 
Each share of GEM common stock will be exchanged for 0.352 shares of CDSS common stock upon completion of the merger. This exchange ratio is a fixed number and the merger agreement does not contain any provision to adjust this ratio for changes in the market price of CDSS’s common stock. Neither party is permitted to terminate the merger agreement solely because of changes in the market price of CDSS common stock. Consequently, the specific dollar value of CDSS’s common stock to be received by GEM stockholders will depend on the market value of CDSS common stock at the time of completion of the merger and may increase or decrease from the date of the merger agreement. You are urged to obtain recent market quotations for CDSS common stock. Neither GEM nor CDSS can predict or give any assurances as to the market price of CDSS common stock at any time before or after the merger. The price of CDSS common stock may vary because of factors such as:

 
·
changes in the business, operating results or prospects of GEM or CDSS;

 
·
actual or anticipated variations in quarterly results of operations of GEM or CDSS;

 
·
market assessments of the likelihood that the merger will be completed;

 
·
the timing of the completion of the merger;

 
·
sales of CDSS common stock;

 
·
additions or departures of key personnel of GEM or CDSS;

 
32

 

 
·
announcements of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by GEM;

 
·
conditions or trends in GEM’s industry;

 
·
announcements of technological innovations, new products or services by GEM, or its competitors;

 
·
changes in market valuations of other competing companies;

 
·
the prospects of post-merger operations;

 
·
regulatory considerations; and

 
·
general market and economic conditions.

If the merger is successfully completed, holders of GEM common stock will become holders of CDSS common stock. GEM’s business differs from CDSS’s business, and GEM’s results of operations may be affected by factors different than those affecting CDSS’s results of operations and the price of CDSS’s common stock. CDSS does not currently have any active operations.
 
IF THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE MERGER EXCEED THE BENEFITS, THE COMBINED COMPANY MAY EXPERIENCE ADVERSE FINANCIAL RESULTS, INCLUDING INCREASED LOSSES.
 
GEM and CDSS will incur significant transaction costs as a result of the merger, including legal and accounting fees that may exceed their current estimates. In addition, GEM and CDSS expect that the combined company will incur consolidation and integration expenses, which they cannot accurately estimate at this time. Actual transaction costs may substantially exceed the current estimates of GEM and CDSS and may affect the combined company’s financial condition and operating results negatively. If the benefits of the merger do not exceed the costs associated with the merger, including any dilution to CDSS’s stockholders resulting from the issuance of shares in connection with the merger, the combined company’s financial results could be adversely affected, resulting in, among other things, increased losses.
 
NO INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISOR.
 
Neither GEM nor CDSS has engaged an independent financial advisor to consult on the relative advantages and disadvantages of the transactions. Therefore, the stockholders of both companies are dependent solely on the judgment of the board of directors of each company.
 
The market price of CDSS’s common stock may decline as a result of the merger for a number of reasons, including if:

 
·
the combined company does not achieve the perceived benefits of the merger as rapidly or to the extent anticipated by financial or industry analysts;

 
·
the effect of the merger on the combined company’s financial results is not consistent with the expectations of financial or industry analysts; or

 
·
significant stockholders of GEM or CDSS decide to dispose of their stock following completion of the merger.

SALES OF SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNTS OF CDSS COMMON STOCK IN THE PUBLIC MARKET AFTER THE PROPOSED MERGER COULD MATERIALLY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE MARKET PRICE OF CDSS COMMON STOCK.
 
Based on the number of shares of GEM common stock outstanding as of June 16, 2010, at the closing of the merger, CDSS will issue approximately 352 million shares of CDSS common stock to GEM stockholders in the merger. The sale of substantial amounts of CDSS common stock may result in substantial fluctuations in the price of CDSS common stock. In addition, sales of a substantial number of shares of CDSS common stock within a short period of time could cause CDSS stock price to fall. The sale of these shares could also impair the combined company’s ability to raise capital through sales of additional common stock.

 
33

 

FAILURE TO COMPLETE THE MERGER COULD NEGATIVELY IMPACT GEM AND CDSS, INCLUDING THE MARKET PRICE OF CDSS COMMON STOCK.
 
The obligations of CDSS and GEM to complete the merger are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions. See “The Merger Agreement — Conditions to the Consummation of the Merger” on pages 47 to 48 of this information statement for a discussion of these conditions. If these conditions are not satisfied or waived, the merger may not be completed. If the merger is not completed for any reason, both CDSS and GEM may be subject to other material risks, including:

 
·
a negative effect on the stock trading price of CDSS common stock to the extent that the current market price reflects a market assumption that the merger will be completed (GEM does not currently have an active trading market for its common stock);

 
·
GEM may be required to pay a termination fee; and

 
·
costs related to the merger, such as legal and accounting fees, must be paid even if the merger is not completed.

GEM’S OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS HAVE INTERESTS DIFFERENT FROM YOURS THAT MAY INFLUENCE THEM TO SUPPORT OR APPROVE THE MERGER.
 
The terms of the merger agreement and the agreements contemplated thereby affect the directors and officers of GEM in ways that may create interests for them in the merger that are different from, or in addition to, yours. These interests include:
 
 
·
the existing rights to indemnification benefiting GEM’s directors and officers found in GEM’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, applicable law or other sources will be duplicated in CDSS’s certificate of incorporation and will continue indefinitely.

 
·
Messrs. Samuel and Weinstein, GEM’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, will either enter into new employment agreements with GEM or will transfer their existing employment agreements with GEM in connection with closing of the merger. Each of these agreements is described in “Related Agreements” beginning on page 56; and
 
 
· 
Messrs. Solomon, CDSS’s Chief Executive Officer, John Leide, Chris A. Economou, Joe M. Allbaugh and Mark Rogers will be granted registration rights which will not be available to other shareholders.
 
UNCERTAINTY REGARDING THE MERGER AND THE EFFECTS OF THE MERGER COULD CAUSE EACH COMPANY’S CUSTOMERS OR STRATEGIC PARTNERS TO DELAY OR DEFER DECISIONS.
 
GEM’s customers and strategic partners, in response to the announcement of the merger, may delay or defer decisions, which could have a material adverse effect on the business of the relevant company, regardless of whether the merger is ultimately completed.
 
THE MERGER MAY FAIL TO QUALIFY AS A TAX-FREE REORGANIZATION FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES, RESULTING IN YOUR RECOGNITION OF TAXABLE GAIN OR LOSS IN RESPECT OF YOUR GEM SHARES.
 
The merger is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Internal Revenue Service will not provide a ruling on the matter, nor will GEM obtain an opinion from its legal counsel that the merger will constitute a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes. No assurance can be given that the Internal Revenue Service or the courts will agree that the merger qualifies as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a). If the merger fails to qualify as a reorganization, you generally would recognize gain or loss on each share of GEM common stock surrendered in an amount equal to the difference between the sum of the amount of cash and/or the fair market value of CDSS common stock received for each such share of GEM common stock and your adjusted tax basis in such share.

 
34

 

Risks Relating to the Business and Operations of GEM Following the Merger
 
OUR LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY MAY MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO EVALUATE OUR BUSINESS TO DATE AND OUR FUTURE VIABILITY. 

 We are in the early stage of operations and development, and have only a limited operating history on which to base an evaluation of our business and prospects, having just commenced operations in March 2010 in accordance with our new business plan and entry into the energy efficiency services  industry. In addition, our operations and developments are subject to all of the risks inherent in the growth of an early stage company. We will be subject to the risks inherent in the ownership and operation of a company with a limited operating history such as fluctuations in revenues and expenses, competition, the general strength of regional and national economies, and governmental regulation. Any failure to successfully address these risks and uncertainties would seriously harm our business and prospects. We may not succeed given the technological, marketing, strategic and competitive challenges we will face. The likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the expenses, difficulties, complications, problems and delays frequently encountered in connection with the growth of a new business, the continuing development of new technology, and the competitive and regulatory environment in which we operate or may choose to operate in the future. We have generated limited revenues to date, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully develop our products and penetrate our target markets.
 
WE EXPECT TO CONTINUE TO INCUR OPERATING LOSSES, AND IF WE ARE NOT ABLE TO RAISE NECESSARY ADDITIONAL FUNDS, WE MAY HAVE TO REDUCE OR STOP OPERATIONS.
 
We have not generated material revenues or become profitable, may never do so, and may not generate sufficient working capital to cover the cost of operations. No party has guaranteed to advance additional funds to us to provide for any operating deficits. Until we begin generating revenue, we may seek funding through the sale of equity, or securities convertible into equity, further dilution to our then existing stockholders may result. If we raise additional capital through the incurrence of debt, our business may be affected by the amount of leverage we incur, and our borrowings may subject us to restrictive covenants. Additional funding may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing on a timely basis, we may be required to delay, reduce or stop operations, any of which would have a material adverse effect on our business.
  
OUR SUCCESS WILL DEPEND ON OUR ABILITY TO RETAIN OUR MANAGERIAL PERSONNEL AND TO ATTRACT ADDITIONAL PERSONNEL. 
 
Our success will depend largely on our ability to attract and retain managerial personnel. Competition for desirable personnel is intense, and we cannot guarantee that we will be able to attract and retain the necessary staff. The loss of members of managerial or sales staff could have a material adverse effect on our future operations and on successful development of products and services for our target markets. The failure to maintain our management, particularly our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and to attract additional key personnel could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Although we intend to provide incentive compensation to attract and retain our key personnel, we cannot guarantee that these efforts will be successful.
 
We will need to expand our finance, administrative, business development, sales and marketing, and operations staff. There are no assurances that we will be able to make such hires. In addition, we may be required to enter into relationships with various strategic partners and other third parties necessary to our business. Planned personnel may not be adequate to support our future operations, management may not be able to hire, train, retain, motivate and manage required personnel or management may not be able to identify, manage and exploit existing and potential strategic relationships and market opportunities. If we fail to manage our growth effectively, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
 
WE NEED TO DEVELOP OUR FINANCIAL AND REPORTING PROCESSES, PROCEDURES AND CONTROLS TO SUPPORT OUR ANTICIPATED GROWTH. 

We have not historically invested significantly in our financial and reporting systems. To comply with our public reporting requirements, and manage the anticipated growth of our operations and personnel, we will be required to improve existing or implement new operational and financial systems, processes and procedures, and to expand, train and manage our employee base. Our current and planned systems, procedures and controls may not be adequate to support our future operations.
 
The laws and regulations affecting public companies, including the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and rules adopted or proposed by the Securities and Exchange Commission, will result in increased costs to us as we evaluate the implications of any new rules and respond to their requirements. New rules could make it more difficult or more costly for us to obtain certain types of insurance, including director and officer liability insurance, and we may be forced to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. We cannot predict or estimate the amount of the additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs to comply with any new rules and regulations, or if compliance can be achieved.

 
35

 

MATERIAL WEAKNESSES IN OUR INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING MAY MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO ACCURATELY EVALUATE OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION.

Any material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting could result in errors in our financial statements, which could erode market confidence in our company, and make it more difficult to raise needed additional funds, and adversely affect the market price of our common stock, if such a market ever develops.
 
RISKS RELATED TO OUR INDUSTRY AND COMPETITION.
 
The markets for our installation and maintenance services are highly competitive. In the efficiency lighting contracting market, we compete with companies that service and/or sell LED and induction lighting equipment and services. Competitors could offer aggressive pricing for their services and claims of improved lighting performance and energy efficiency. Competitive pricing pressures could establish a rate of decline of our contracting services prices.
 
With the growth potential for LEDs and induction lighting based upon the potential for cost savings by our customers, we may face increased competition in the future.  Additionally, new technologies could emerge or improvements could be made in existing technologies that may also reduce the demand for LEDs and induction lighting in certain markets.
 
As competition increases, we need to continue to utilize new products and provide innovative services that enable our customers to save on electrical costs and lighting-related maintenance. Additionally, we anticipate that increased competition for these competitors will result in pressure to lower the selling prices of our products and services. Competitors may also try to align with some of our strategic customers. This could mean lower prices for our products and services, reduced demand for our products and services and a corresponding reduction in our ability to recover engineering and overhead costs. Any of these developments could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK.
 
IF A MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK DOES NOT DEVELOP, OUR STOCKHOLDERS MAY BE UNABLE TO SELL THEIR SHARES.
 
There is currently no market for our common stock and we can provide no assurance that a market will develop. If no market is ever developed for our shares, it will be difficult for stockholders to sell their stock. In such a case, stockholders may find that they are unable to achieve benefits from their investment.
 
IF A MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK DEVELOPS, OUR STOCK PRICE MAY BE VOLATILE. 

If a market for our common stock develops, the price at which our common stock will trade may be highly volatile and may fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including the number of shares available for sale in the market, quarterly variations in our operating results, actual or anticipated announcements of financial results, new products or services by us or competitors, regulatory matters, acquisitions or strategic alliances by us or our competitors, recruitment or departures of key personnel, the gain or loss of significant customers, changes in the estimates of our operating performance, market conditions in our industry and the economy as a whole.

OVER 14% OF OUR POST MERGER SHARES OF COMMON STOCK WILL BE CONTROLLED BY A SINGLE STOCKHOLDER WHO MAY HAVE THE ABILITY TO SUBSTANTIALLY INFLUENCE THE ELECTION OF DIRECTORS AND THE OUTCOME OF MATTERS SUBMITTED TO STOCKHOLDERS.  

As of June 16, 2010, affiliates of Michael Samuel, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of GEM (the “Affiliates”) indirectly own approximately 65.6 million shares, which represent 14.9% of our approximately 438 million shares of outstanding common stock following the close of the merger. As a result, the affiliates may have the ability to significantly influence the outcome of issues submitted to our stockholders. The interests of the Affiliates may not always coincide with our interests or the interests of other stockholders, and it may act in a manner that advances its best interests and not necessarily those of other stockholders. One consequence to the Affiliates’ interest is that it may be difficult for investors to remove management of the company. It could also deter unsolicited takeovers, including transactions in which stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then current market prices.

INVESTORS’ INTERESTS IN OUR COMPANY WILL BE DILUTED AND INVESTORS MAY SUFFER DILUTION IN THEIR NET BOOK VALUE PER SHARE IF WE ISSUE ADDITIONAL SHARES OR RAISE FUNDS THROUGH THE SALE OF EQUITY SECURITIES.
 
In the event that we are required to issue any additional shares or enter into private placements to raise financing through the sale of equity securities, investors’ interests in our company will be diluted and investors may suffer dilution in their net book value per share depending on the price at which such securities are sold. If we issue any such additional shares, such issuances also will cause a reduction in the proportionate ownership and voting power of all other stockholders. Further, any such issuance may result in a change in our control.

WE HAVE NEVER PAID CASH DIVIDENDS AND DO NOT INTEND TO DO SO. 

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock. We currently plan to retain any earnings to finance the growth of our business rather than to pay cash dividends. Payments of any cash dividends in the future will depend on our financial condition, results of operations and capital requirements, as well as other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors.

GEM WILL NEED ADDITIONAL FINANCING.

GEM will need additional financing to maintain and expand its business, and such financing may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. GEM intends to finance the combined business through the private placement and public offering of equity and debt securities. GEM has historically financed its operations through working capital and from equity investments. If GEM needs additional financing, GEM cannot assure you that it will be available on favorable terms, if at all. If GEM needs funds and cannot raise them on acceptable terms, GEM may not be able to:
 
 
·
execute its growth plans;

 
·
take advantage of future opportunities, including synergistic acquisitions;

 
·
respond to customers and competition; or

 
·
remain in operation.

THE MERGER
 
This section of the information statement and the next section entitled “The Merger Agreement” describe the transactions. Although we believe that the description in this section covers the material terms of the merger and the transactions, this summary may not contain all of the information that is important to you. You should carefully read the entire information statement and the other documents we refer to or incorporate by reference in this information statement for a more complete understanding of the merger agreement and the transactions.
 
General
 
The merger agreement provides that, at the effective time of the merger, CDSS Merger Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CDSS, will merge with and into GEM, with GEM continuing in existence as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of CDSS. Each share of GEM common stock issued and outstanding at the effective time of the merger will be converted into one share of CDSS common stock. Upon completion of the merger, GEM will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of CDSS.
 
There are no outstanding options or warrants to purchase common stock of GEM in existence immediately prior to the merger.
 
In connection with the merger, CDSS will effect a reverse stock split whereby immediately prior to the effectiveness of the merger, every 3 shares of CDSS common stock will be automatically converted into one share of CDSS common stock, and amend its certificate of incorporation to increase its authorized number of shares of common stock to 500 million from 100 million. Upon the effectiveness of the merger CDSS will amend and restate its certificate of incorporation such that it reads substantially the same as GEM’s certificate of incorporation immediately prior to the merger, and to change CDSS’s name to Green Energy Management Services Holdings, Inc. CDSS will also amend and restate its bylaws to read substantially the same as GEM’s bylaws immediately prior to the merger.
 
Also in connection with the merger, the officers and directors of CDSS will resign effective as of the merger, and the officers and directors of GEM shall become the officers and directors of CDSS.
 
Background of the Merger
 
In December 2006, CDSS sold substantially all of its assets to McAfee, Inc. and paid a distribution to its common stockholders.  CDSS changed its name from Citadel Security Software Inc. to CDSS Wind Down Inc. and adopted a plan of liquidation.  In 2009, the Board of CDSS considered alternatives to liquidating or dissolving the Company including the potential for commencing a development stage company or the potential for acquiring an operating company in a merger or asset purchase transaction and determined on November 16, 2009 to terminate the Plan of Liquidation previously approved by the Board of Directors on October 13, 2006 and by the shareholders of the Company on December 1, 2006.  CDSS’s goal was to realize value for shareholders through a merger or asset purchase transaction or similar transaction.
 
GEM has since its inception investigated a number of sources of capitalization and funding for its business operations.  Its business model relies heavily on sharing with its customers the cost savings associated with the installation of the Units.  As such, GEM requires sufficient working capital to install the Units, with its compensation coming only after cost savings are recognized.
 
GEM’s common stock is not publicly trading, while CDSS’s common stock is publicly traded on the OTC Bulletin Board. In March, 2010, GEM, when formed, believed that there is a significant, burgeoning market for its products and services. The growth of GEM, though, would require equity financing to fund project which require up-front working capital and the recouping of funds later in the life of the customer contracts. GEM desired to effectuate a reverse merger with a shell corporation with free trading shares in the public market to help facilitate financing of its operating business. CDSS desired to acquire an operating business with an experienced management team.

Prior to any discussions or contact with GEM, CDSS had received inquiries from potential business partners regarding business combinations with CDSS.  As a result, in November 2009, the CDSS board of directors determined that it would be in the best interests of the CDSS stockholders that the board consider alternatives to the plan of liquidation, including the potential for commencing a development stage company or the potential for acquiring an operating company in a merger or asset purchase transaction.  As previously disclosed when stockholder approval of the plan of liquidation was obtained, under the plan of liquidation and dissolution, the CDSS board of directors retained the discretion to modify, amend or abandon the plan of liquidation and dissolution, notwithstanding stockholder approval, to the extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. After considering these factors, in November 2009, the CDSS board of directors terminated the plan of liquidation and dissolution previously approved by the CDSS board of directors in October 2006 and the CDSS shareholders in December 2006.

In November 2009, CDSS entered into a non-binding letter of intent with a third party related to a potential business combination.  After two months of due diligence and negotiations, the letter of intent with the third party was terminated in January 2010.

In February 2010, management of CDSS and GEM held preliminary discussions regarding a business combination after Steven B. Solomon, CDSS’s CEO and President, was contacted by a business associate who was familiar with GEM and its management.  Mr. Solomon and Michael Samuel, GEM’s CEO, held discussions over the next weeks regarding potential terms of the proposed transaction. Based on those discussions, management of CDSS and GEM and their respective counsel commenced their respective due diligence reviews and prepared drafts of a non-binding letter of intent, resulting in a non-binding letter of intent that the parties executed on February 26, 2010.  During March 2010, the parties and their counsel negotiated the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and continued their due diligence reviews. On March 22, 2010, the CDSS board of directors approved the proposed merger transaction, and on March 29, 2010, the parties executed the merger agreement.
 
Reasons for the Merger
 
In reaching the decision to adopt the merger agreement and recommend it for approval by the respective stockholders of GEM and CDSS, the boards of directors consulted with respective management, as well as consultants and legal advisors. As discussed in greater detail below, these consultations included discussions regarding GEM’s strategic business plan, the costs and risks of executing that business plan as an independent company, its past and current business operations and financial condition, and its future prospects, the strategic rationale for the potential transaction with CDSS, and the terms and conditions of the merger agreement.

 
38

 

In approving the merger agreement, the board of directors of GEM considered reasons why the merger should be beneficial to GEM and its stockholders. These potential benefits included the following:
 
 
·
the merger into CDSS, which is listed on the “OTC Bulletin Board” and which has an active trading market, could provide GEM with access to an active trading market which could in turn increase the liquidity of its investors’ shares and provide increased exposure for GEM within the investor community;

 
·
the ability of the combined company to secure investor capital and financing for expansion of GEM’s business will be enhanced by having access to publicly-traded stock, which will increase the market in which GEM can secure necessary capital; ;

 
·
dissenters’ rights would be available to our stockholders under applicable state law;

 
·
the market potential for GEM’s technology, both in the current state of the industry and with future competition factored into the decisional calculus;

 
·
GEM’s success and potential in establishing its products and services;

 
·
GEM’s financial condition;

 
·
apart from the approval by our stockholders, completion of the merger would not require any material consents or approvals; and

 
·
based on our historical efforts to pursue alternative transactions and familiarity with the companies in our industry, our management did not believe we would be able to complete a transaction that would provide the same or greater value to our stockholders within a reasonable time frame.

CDSS also considered the following additional factors:
 
 
·
GEM’s success and potential in energy efficient LED lighting and solar energy markets and entering into contracts for deploying LED lighting and benefiting from its clients’ cost savings;

 
·
the market potential for GEM’s technology;

 
·
the potential ability of the combined company to secure investor capital and financing for expansion of GEM’s business;

 
·
the historical, current and prospective financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of CDSS, taking into account the current lack of an operating business;

 
·
CDSS’s dependence on financing from its largest shareholder to meet operating costs and the lack of commitment from that shareholder that such financing will continue, with the result that CDSS could be forced to cease operations if funds were not made available; and

 
·
the remote likelihood that potential alternative transactions will be available to CDSS, or if available, such transactions would be acceptable to CDSS.
 
 
39

 

The boards of GEM and CDSS also considered a number of potentially negative factors in its deliberations:
 
 
·
the loss of control by CDSS stockholders over the future operations of the combined company;

 
·
that, while the transaction is expected to be completed, there can be no assurance that all conditions to the parties’ obligations to complete the transaction would be met, and as a result, it is possible that the transaction may not be completed even if approved by the companies’ respective stockholders (see “Conditions to Consummation of the Merger,” beginning on page 47;

 
·
that, if the transaction does not close, the parties would have significant expenses and that the respective management teams would have expended extensive efforts to attempt to complete the transaction;

 
·
the risk that the potential benefits of the merger might not be achieved and that GEM’s cash requirements could adversely affect the operations of the combined company; and

 
·
other risk factors described under the section entitled “Risk Factors.”
 
In addition to the factors considered above, in coming to its determinations, our board of directors was aware of the interests that some of our executive officers and directors have with respect to the transaction in addition to their interests as our stockholders generally. See “Interests of Our Executive Officers and Directors in the Merger,” beginning on page 43.
 
The foregoing discussion of the information and factors discussed and considered by the respective boards of directors is not meant to be exhaustive, but includes the material factors considered by the boards of directors. In view of the wide variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the merger and the complexity of these matters, the boards of directors did not find it practicable to, and did not, quantify or otherwise assign relative weight to the individual factors considered in reaching its determination. In considering the factors listed above, individual members of the boards may have given different weight to different factors. However, each board of directors concluded that the potential benefits of the transaction outweighed the potential negative factors and that, overall, the proposed transaction had greater potential benefits for each of GEM and CDSS and its stockholders than other strategic alternatives.
 
Recommendation of the Boards
 
Taking into account all of the material facts, matters and information, including those described above, our respective boards of directors believe that the merger agreement is advisable and fair to and in the best interests of each of GEM and CDSS and their respective stockholders.
 
No Independent Financial Advisor
 
Neither GEM nor CDSS has engaged an independent financial advisor to consult on the relative advantages and disadvantages of the transactions.
 
MATERIAL UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
 
General
 
The following discussion summarizes certain material United States federal income tax consequences of the merger and the reverse stock split assuming that the merger is effected as described in the merger agreement and this information statement. The following discussion is based on currently existing provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), existing Treasury Regulations promulgated under the Code, and current administrative rulings and court decisions, all of which are subject to change. Any such change, which may or may not be retroactive, could alter the tax consequences of the reverse stock split and the merger.
 
Any discussion of federal tax issues in this information statement is not intended or written to be used as tax advice. To ensure compliance with IRS Circular 230, shareholders are hereby notified that: (A) any discussion of federal tax issues in this information statement is not intended or written to be used, and it cannot be used by shareholders, for the purpose of avoiding penalties that may be imposed on them under the Internal Revenue Code; (B) such discussion is written to support the transactions or matters addressed herein; and (C) shareholders should seek advice based on their particular circumstances from an independent tax advisor.
 
The discussion set forth below does not address all U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to GEM and CDSS stockholders in light of their particular circumstances, and does not apply to stockholders that are subject to special rules under U.S. federal income tax laws, such as:

 
·
foreign persons;

 
40

 

 
·
financial institutions, insurance companies, mutual funds, retirement plans, dealers in securities or foreign currencies, tax-exempt organizations and stockholders subject to the alternative minimum tax;

 
·
stockholders who hold GEM common stock as part of a hedge, straddle, constructive sale or conversion transaction, or other risk reduction arrangement;

 
·
stockholders who acquired their GEM common stock through stock option or stock purchase programs or otherwise as compensation; and

 
·
stockholders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.

In addition, this discussion does not consider the tax treatment of GEM and CDSS stockholders that hold their GEM shares through a partnership or other pass-through entity and it does not address the tax consequences of the merger under foreign, state or local tax laws or U.S. federal estate tax laws.
 
The summary is limited to taxpayers who (i) hold their shares of GEM common stock as “capital assets” (generally, held for investment) and (ii) are U.S. holders for federal income tax purposes. You are a U.S. holder for U.S. federal income tax purposes if you are:
 
(1) an individual citizen or resident of the United States;
 
(2) a corporation created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States or of any state (including the District of Columbia);
 
(3) an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source, or
 
(4) a trust if (x) a United States court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more United States persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (y) certain circumstances apply and the trust has validly elected to be treated as a United States person.
 
This discussion assumes that the merger constitutes a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. However, neither CDSS nor GEM has requested nor will either request a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service or an opinion of counsel with regard to any of the tax consequences of the merger. The Internal Revenue Service may assert a contrary position, and it is possible that the Internal Revenue Service may successfully assert a contrary position in litigation or other proceedings.
 
GEM and CDSS shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger based on their own circumstances, as well as the effects of state, local, non-U.S. tax laws and U.S. tax laws other than income tax laws.
 
Exchange of GEM Stock
 
Based on the assumption that the merger will constitute a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, and subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth in this discussion, the following U.S. federal income tax consequences will result from the merger:
 
 
·
a GEM stockholder will not recognize gain or loss on the exchange of GEM common stock for CDSS common stock pursuant to the merger;

 
·
the aggregate tax basis of the shares of CDSS stock received by a GEM stockholder in the merger will be equal to the aggregate tax basis of the shares of GEM common stock surrendered in exchange therefor;

 
·
the holding period of the CDSS common stock received by a GEM stockholder in the merger will include the holding period of the GEM common stock surrendered therefor; and

 
·
GEM will recognize no gain or loss as a result of the merger.

 
41

 

We cannot assure you that the conclusions contained in this discussion will not be challenged by the Internal Revenue Service or sustained by a court if challenged. If the Internal Revenue Service were to assert successfully that the merger is not a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, then each GEM stockholder would be required to recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between: (i) the sum of the fair market value of the CDSS common stock received in the exchange, and (ii) the stockholder’s tax basis in the GEM stock surrendered therefor. In such event, a GEM stockholder’s tax basis in the CDSS common stock received would be equal to its fair market value at the effective time of the merger, and the stockholder’s holding period for the CDSS common stock would begin on the day after the merger. The gain or loss recognized would be long-term capital gain or loss if the GEM stockholder’s holding period for the GEM common stock was more than one year.
 
Cash Instead of Fractional Shares
 
Because there will be no fractional shares transferred in the exchange of GEM common stock for CDSS common stock, there will be no cash paid in lieu of fractional shares.
 
Backup Withholding of U.S. Federal Income Tax
 
A non-corporate holder of GEM shares may be subject to backup withholding at the then applicable rate with respect to the amount of cash, if any, received instead of fractional share interests, unless the stockholder: (i) provides a correct taxpayer identification number (which, for an individual stockholder, generally is the stockholder’s social security number) and certifies that he, she or it is not subject to backup withholding on the substitute W-9 that will be included as part of the transmittal letter, or (ii) otherwise is exempt from backup withholding. Backup withholding will not apply to a GEM stockholder who completes and signs the substitute Form W-9 that is included as part of the transmittal letter, or who otherwise proves to CDSS and its exchange agent that it is exempt from backup withholding. A GEM stockholder who does not provide a correct taxpayer identification number may be subject to penalties imposed by the Internal Revenue Service. Backup withholding is not an additional tax and may be claimed as a credit against a GEM stockholder’s federal income tax liability, provided that the required information is furnished to the Internal Revenue Service.
 
Reporting and Record Keeping
 
A GEM stockholder is required to retain records of the transaction, and to attach to the stockholder’s federal income tax return for the year of the merger a statement setting forth all relevant facts with respect to the non-recognition of gain or loss in the exchange. At a minimum, the statement must include: (i) the stockholder’s tax basis in the GEM common stock surrendered, and (ii) the fair market value, as of the time of the effective date of the merger, of the CDSS common stock received in the exchange therefor.

The preceding discussion does not purport to be a complete analysis of all potential tax consequences of the merger that may be relevant to a particular GEM stockholder. Holders of GEM common stock are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the specific tax consequences to them of the merger, including the applicability and effect of foreign, state, local and other tax laws.
 
Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reverse Stock Split and Merger to CDSS Stockholders

No gain or loss will be recognized by a CDSS stockholder upon his or her exchange of CDSS common stock pursuant to the reverse stock split (except in the case of the portion of whole shares attributable to the rounding up of fractional shares, as discussed herein). A CDSS stockholder's tax basis in the shares received as a result of the reverse split will be equal, in the aggregate, to his or her basis in the CDSS common stock exchanged, increased by the income or gain attributable to the rounding up of fractional shares, as described herein. New CDSS common stock attributable to the rounding up of fractional shares to the nearest whole number of shares will be treated for tax purposes as if the fractional shares constitute a disproportionate dividend distribution. Such CDSS stockholders generally will recognize ordinary income to the extent of earnings and profits of CDSS allocated to the portion of each whole share attributable to the rounding up process. If CDSS has no earnings and profits, the amount deemed distributed will be treated as a return of basis, and the remainder of the amount deemed distributed, if any, will be treated as gain from the sale of property. The CDSS stockholder's holding period for the CDSS common stock will include the period during which he or she held the pre-split shares surrendered in the reverse split. The portion of the CDSS common stock received by a CDSS stockholder that is attributable to rounding up for fractional shares will have a holding period commencing on the effective date of the reverse split. The reverse split would constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(1)(E) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and CDSS will not recognize any gain or loss as a result of the reverse split.

We expect that there will be no material federal income tax consequences of the merger on CDSS stockholders.
 
This discussion regarding the tax consequence of the reverse stock split and merger are not binding upon the Internal Revenue Service or the courts, and there can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service or the courts will accept the positions expressed above. The state and local tax consequences of the reverse stock split and merger may vary significantly as to each stockholder, depending upon the state in which he or she resides.

 
42

 

The preceding discussion does not purport to be a complete analysis of all potential tax consequences of the reverse stock split and merger that may be relevant to a particular CDSS stockholder. Holders of CDSS common stock are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the specific tax consequences to them of the reverse stock split and merger, including the applicability and effect of foreign, state, local and other tax laws.
 
Accounting Treatment
 
It is anticipated that the merger will be treated as a recapitalization of GEM under generally accepted accounting principles. CDSS will consolidate the operating results of GEM with those of its own, beginning as of the date the parties complete the merger.
 
Interests of GEM Directors and Officers in the Merger
 
Under the merger agreement, all of the officers and directors of CDSS will resign upon the effectiveness of the merger, and GEM directors, Michael Samuel and William D’Angelo, are to be appointed to the board of directors of CDSS. Michael Samuel, a director of GEM, indirectly holds significant equity positions in GEM, all of which will be exchanged for equity positions in CDSS. In addition, all of the officers of GEM will be appointed as officers of CDSS upon closing of the merger.
  
Dissenters’ Appraisal Rights
 
Delaware law entitles the holders of record of shares of GEM stock who follow the procedures specified in Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law to have their shares appraised by the Delaware Court of Chancery and to receive the “fair value” of those shares, as of the effective time of the merger, as determined by the court in place of the consideration that the holder would otherwise receive in the merger. In order to exercise appraisal rights, a stockholder must demand and perfect the rights in accordance with Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. The following is a summary of Section 262 and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Section 262. GEM stockholders should carefully review Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law as well as information discussed below to evaluate and, if they wish, perfect their rights to appraisal.
 
Under the law of Delaware, where GEM is incorporated, holders of GEM common stock who have not consented to the merger and comply with the applicable requirements of Delaware law will have the right to receive an appraisal of the value of their shares in connection with the merger and to be paid such value in cash.
 
Under Sections 228(e) and 262(d)(2) of the DGCL, GEM is required to mail to each holder of GEM common stock who has not consented in writing to the adoption and approval of the merger agreement and the merger and the transactions contemplated thereby a notice of corporate action taken without a meeting and notice of availability of appraisal rights. The notice of corporate action taken without a meeting, notice of availability of appraisal rights and a copy of Section 262 of the DGCL must be delivered to the applicable GEM stockholders by either GEM following receipt of the requisite approval of the adoption and approval of the merger agreement, the merger and the transactions contemplated thereby, or by GEM within 10 days following the effective date of the merger. Such notice, if given on or after the effective date of the Merger, must also notify the stockholders of the effective date of the Merger. Any stockholder entitled to appraisal rights may, on or before 20 days after the date of mailing of the notice of corporate action taken without a meeting and notice of availability of appraisal rights, demand in writing from GEM an appraisal of his, her or its shares of GEM common stock. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs GEM of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends to demand an appraisal of the stockholder’s shares. Failure to make such a demand on or before the expiration of such 20-day period will foreclose a stockholder’s rights to appraisal. If the notice of corporate action taken without a meeting did not notify the stockholders of the effective date of the Merger, either (i) GEM must send a second notice before the effective date of the Merger notifying each stockholder entitled to appraisal rights of the effective date of the Merger or (ii) GEM will send such second notice to each stockholder entitled to appraisal rights on or within ten days after the effective date of the Merger, provided, however, that if such second notice is sent more than twenty days following the sending of the first notice, such second notice need only be sent to those stockholders entitled to appraisal rights and who have demanded appraisal rights of their shares in accordance with Section 262(d).
 
All written demands for appraisal should be addressed to: Robert Weinstein, Chief Financial Officer, Green Energy Management Services, Inc. Only the holder of record of shares of GEM common stock is entitled to seek appraisal of the fair value of the shares registered in the holder’s name. The demand for appraisal must be executed by or for the holder of record, fully and correctly, as such holder’s name appears on the holder’s stock certificates. If the stock is owned of record in a fiduciary capacity, such as by a trustee, guardian or custodian, the demand should be made in that capacity, and if the stock is owned of record by more than one person, as in a joint tenancy or tenancy in common, the demand should be made by or for all owners of record. An authorized agent, including one or more joint owners, may execute the demand for appraisal for a holder of record; however, such agent must identify the record owner or owners and expressly disclose in such demand that the agent is acting as agent for the record owner or owners.

 
43

 

A record holder, such as a broker who holds shares of GEM common stock as nominee for beneficial owners, some of whom desire to demand appraisal, must exercise appraisal rights on behalf of such beneficial owners with respect to the stock held for such beneficial owners. In such case, the written demand for appraisal should set forth the number of shares covered by the demand. Unless a demand for appraisal specifies a number of shares, such demand will be presumed to cover all shares held in the name of such record owner.
 
If the merger is completed, GEM, will, within 10 days after the effective time of the merger, give written notice of the effective time to each holder of GEM common stock who has satisfied the requirements of Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. A person who elects to exercise appraisal rights under Section 262 is called a “dissenting stockholder.” Within 120 days after the effective time, GEM or any dissenting stockholder may file a petition in the court demanding a determination of the fair value of the shares of GEM common stock of all dissenting stockholders. Any dissenting stockholder desiring the filing of such petition is advised to file such petition on a timely basis, unless the dissenting stockholder receives notice that GEM or another dissenting stockholder has filed such a petition.
 
If a petition for appraisal is timely filed, the court will determine which stockholders are entitled to appraisal rights and thereafter will determine the fair value of the shares of GEM common stock held by dissenting stockholders, exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger, but together with a fair rate of interest, if any, to be paid on the amount determined to be fair value. In determining such fair value, the court will take into account all relevant factors. The court may determine such fair value to be more than, less than or equal to the consideration that such dissenting stockholder would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to the merger agreement. If a petition for appraisal is not timely filed, then the right to an appraisal terminates.
 
The costs of the appraisal proceeding will be determined by the court and taxed against the parties as the court determines to be equitable under the circumstances. Upon the application of any dissenting stockholder, the court may determine the amount of interest, if any, to be paid upon the value of the stock of dissenting stockholders entitled thereto. Upon application of a dissenting stockholder, the court may order all or a portion of the expenses incurred by any dissenting stockholder in connection with the appraisal proceeding, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and the fees and expenses of experts, to be charged pro rata against the value of all shares entitled to appraisal.
 
After the effective time of the merger, no dissenting stockholder will have any rights of a GEM stockholder with respect to such holder’s shares for any purpose, except to receive payment to which GEM stockholders of record as of a date prior to the effective time are entitled, if any. If a dissenting stockholder delivers to GEM a written withdrawal of the demand for an appraisal within 60 days after the effective time of the merger or thereafter with the written approval of GEM, or if no petition for appraisal is filed within 120 days after the effective time, then the right of such dissenting stockholder to an appraisal will cease and such dissenting stockholder will be entitled to receive only the shares of common stock of CDSS as provided in the merger agreement.
 
The foregoing is only a summary of Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of Section 262.
 
Charter Amendments

Prior to the effectiveness of the merger, CDSS will amend its certificate of incorporation to increase the number of its authorized shares of common stock from 100 million to 500 million and reduce the par value of its shares from $0.01 to $0.0001, and to effect a stock split whereby every 3 shares of CDSS common stock will be automatically converted to one share of CDSS common stock.
 
Upon the effectiveness of the merger, CDSS will amend and restate its certificate of incorporation to read substantially the same as the certificate of incorporation of GEM immediately prior to the merger. The amendment to CDSS’s certificate of incorporation shall also include changing CDSS’s name to “Green Energy Management Services Holdings, Inc.” Upon the effectiveness of the merger, the bylaws of CDSS will also be amended and restated to read substantially the same as the bylaws of GEM immediately prior to the merger. The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is attached to this Information Statement as Annex 5.

Stock Options and Warrants
 
There are no outstanding options and warrants to purchase common stock of GEM as of the date of this information statement. All outstanding warrants and options of CDSS will be cancelled upon effectiveness of the merger.  We may adopt an incentive plan after the Merger.

 
44

 

Officers and Directors
 
The officers and directors of CDSS shall resign as of the effectiveness of the merger, and certain officers and directors of GEM shall become officers and directors of CDSS. Specifically, Mr. Michael Samuel and Mr. William D’Angelo will become the directors of CDSS upon the effectiveness of the merger.
 
Federal Securities Laws Consequences
 
The shares of CDSS common stock to be issued to GEM stockholders in the merger will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act. These shares will be restricted just as the shares of GEM were restricted immediately prior to the merger. Stockholders may not sell their CDSS common stock acquired in the merger, except pursuant to:
 
 
·
an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the resale of those shares;

 
·
an exemption under Rule 145 under the Securities Act (or Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if these persons are or become affiliates of GEM); or

 
·
any other applicable exemption under the Securities Act.

THE MERGER AGREEMENT
 
This section is a summary of the material terms and provisions of the merger agreement, as amended, copies of which are incorporated by reference and attached as Annex 3, Annex 4 and Annex 4A to this information statement. The following description is not intended to be a complete description of all the terms of the merger agreement. You should refer to the full text of the merger agreement for details of the merger and the terms and conditions of the merger agreement. CDSS encourages you to carefully read the complete merger agreement for the precise legal terms of the merger agreement and other information that may be important to you.
 
The Merger
 
The merger agreement provides that upon the closing, CDSS Merger Corporation, will be merged with and into GEM, with GEM as the surviving corporation. As a result of the merger, GEM will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of CDSS. The merger will become effective on the date of filing of a certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which the parties have agreed to file as soon as practicable after the closing. This is referred to as the “effective time” of the merger. Following the merger, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the GEM will become the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the merger subsidiary and CDSS, and the directors and officers of the GEM will become the directors and officers of the merger subsidiary and CDSS. CDSS will also change its name to “Green Energy Management Services Holdings, Inc.”
 
 
The Exchange Ratio and Treatment of Securities
 
Prior to the effective time of the merger, CDSS shall (i) effect a reverse stock split, whereby every 3 shares of its common stock shall be automatically converted into one share of CDSS common stock, (ii) adopt an amendment to its certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized common shares from 100 million to 500 million and reduce the par value of its stock from $0.01 to $0.0001, and (iii) enter into a private placement with proceeds to CDSS of at least $1.25 million.
 
At the effective time of the merger, each share of GEM common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time, other than dissenting shares, shares of GEM common stock held in the treasury of GEM or that are owned by GEM, or any of their respective wholly-owned subsidiaries (other than those held in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of third parties), will cease to be outstanding and will be converted into 0.352 shares of CDSS common stock, with the former GEM shareholder owning approximately 80% of the post-merger shares of CDSS.
 
No Exchange of Certificates
 
CDSS will not be exchanging new stock certificates for existing CDSS stockholders in connection with the merger.
 
Holders of gem common stock should send in their certificates to the Company’s transfer agent.
 
Because CDSS will be issuing 0.352 shares of its common stock for each share of GEM common stock held of record, CDSS will not have to issue any fractional shares in the merger. Accordingly, there will be no need to pay cash in lieu of fractional shares.
 
Following the merger, ComputerShare will continue to act as the transfer agent for the combined company.
 
Transfer of Shares
 
The stock transfer books of GEM will be closed immediately upon the effective time and no transfers of shares of GEM common stock will be made or recorded on the stock transfer books after the effective time of the merger.
 
Representations and Warranties of GEM and CDSS
 
The merger agreement contains customary representations and warranties on behalf of GEM, the merger subsidiary and CDSS relating to, among other things:

 
·
corporate organization and qualification;

 
·

INFORMATION ABOUT GEM
 
For purposes of this section entitled “Information About GEM” only, all references to “we,” “us,” or “our” refers to GEM prior to the effectiveness of the merger.
 
Business of GEM

GEM is primarily involved in the distribution of energy efficient light induction units (the “Units”) to end users who utilize substantial quantities of electricity.  It maintains business operations on a nationwide basis, distributing products and services to municipal and commercial customers.  Industry participants focus on assisting clients effectively maximize their energy efficiency potential and couples that with maximizing their renewable energy potential.

Overview

GEM is a full service energy management company. It provides its clients all forms of energy efficiency options primarily based in two functional areas; Energy efficient lighting upgrades and renewable energy generation.

Within the energy efficiency area, we concentrate our marketing efforts within geographic regions exhibiting higher than average per kilowatt hour utility rates and having energy customers who consume higher than average quantities of energy. GEM then develops an energy efficiency / energy management program which, potentially, provides end-users alternatives to decrease their energy consumption. Additionally, in many instances, GEM assumes the management and maintenance of its clients lighting which affords its clients greater labor efficiencies.

Within the renewable energy generation area, GEM’s operating team provides a comprehensive analysis of a client’s geographic location- related energy demographics to develop an energy plan which targets generating investment returns and best renewable resource solution for its clients. Currently, GEM has determined that solar voltaics are the most desirable of the renewable energy solutions and focuses its attention primarily in this area. As technologies change and become affordable, GEM is poised to begin wide-scale implementation of other forms of renewable technologies as well.

Product Applications

GEM currently utilizes a wide variety of available energy efficiency and renewable energy solutions through the course of its business. In the energy efficiency area, the most widely used products are the induction light bulb and the LED (light emitting diode) light fixture. In the renewable energy area, the most widely used product is the photovoltaic solar panel, commonly referred to as a “solar panel.”

GEM’s strongest product application is its energy management contract. Through this financial vehicle, GEM affords its clients a $0 cost solution towards attaining maximum energy efficiency. GEM offers its clients up to a 10-year contract through which its clients can share in the energy savings, and upgrade their facility’s lighting with no up-front cost to them.

Within the renewable energy area, GEM primarily uses the Power Purchase Agreement (“PPA”), a financial vehicle which affords its clients the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of solar voltaic systems but with no cost to them. The PPA is the standard savings sharing vehicle in the solar industry.

Research & Development

GEM’s extensive contacts and relationships within the energy management industry allow it to not carry the substantial expenses associated with a full-scale research and development team.  GEM deals directly with the industry leaders and has the relationship strength and purchasing power to help dictate product development and direction. Currently, GEM is also committed to creating efficiencies relating to the manufacture of LED products and photovoltaic cells. GEM’s primary goal with vendor intervention is to ensure bulk pricing but, more importantly, to guarantee product availability and delivery.

GEM has manufacturing relationships with various vendors domestically and internationally to ensure adequate supply of products with favorable product pricing and transportation cost.  Additionally, by having suppliers geographically diverse, GEM also ensures that our clients are not delayed for delivery and installation of energy efficient products.

GEM’s team is also highly involved in the “green” industry through associations and trade shows and is able to stay on the pulse of the market to ensure that GEM remains on the cutting edge of green technology development.

 
50

 

Sales & Marketing

With future funding, GEM plans to establish a formal sales and marketing team.  To date, GEM has marketed, with its existing management team, to a small group of large-scale electricity consumers through targeted sales and attendance at trade shows. GEM has rapidly broadened its marketing approach to cover other alternative customers by exploring creative uses for available efficiency technologies.  Most recently, GEM has broadened its marketing effort to international clients which exhibit similar energy efficiency and cost savings to those domestically.

GEM has attended trade shows and has joined regional organizations to better promote itself to potential customers for energy management and energy efficiency projects.

The GEM tech team has also focused marketing efforts through a web-based presence to remain on the cusp of the industry as well as maintaining communications with existing and future customers.

Government Regulation

GEM is not governed by formal government regulations, although the contract GEM enters into with its municipal and quasi-public customers are governed by applicable regulations and laws governing public and quasi-public contracting. GEM ensures that all of its purchased products and services comply with applicable government regulations.  GEM installs only Underwriting Laboratories (“UL”) approved lighting products and, when required, GEM will provide documentation showing that its products are “assembled in the USA.” Additionally, with photovoltaics, GEM only uses UL approved panels with corresponding 25 year warranties. GEM also ensures that all of its employees and sub-contractors are in full compliance with the government regulations relating to projects they are working on.

Competition

Currently, GEM is not aware of any specific competitor in the “turn-key” energy management sector. GEM’s competition may, in the future, come from different lighting-related sectors. They could range from the vertically integrated, larger scale light manufacturers such as General Electric and Sylvania to small, local electrical contractors competing while working with their traditional clients.  GEM has the ability to plan, organize, finance, and carry through completion all of our energy management projects.

GEM also competes with the solar integrators who are competing with us in developing projects. GEM has the edge over the integrators due to our ongoing “energy management” relationship with their target clients.

GEM holds no patents or trademarks at this time.
 
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
 
Results of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008

Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2009 decreased by $1,088,322 or 39%, from the corresponding period in 2008, primarily due to a lesser number of contracts completed, offset partially by higher prices for our services. During the year ended December 31, 2009, we completed 145 contracts for various customers.  In addition, the down turn in the economy and tightening of credit precluded our customers from starting projects.

Cost of revenues was $1,456,506, or 86% of revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to $2,109,486, or 76% of revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2008.  The decrease in our gross profit of $435,342, from $240,815 for the year ended December 31, 2009 versus $676,157 for the year ended December 31, 2008 is primarily attributable to a lower volume of work performed between the two years.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2009 were $321,829, compared to $480,068 for the year ended December 31, 2008.  The decrease of $158,239 is primarily attributable to decreases in salaries and benefits, and vehicle costs and travel and entertainment expenses of approximately $102,577, $23,810 and $11,549, respectively.

Our operating income for the year ended December 31, 2009 decreased by $227,103 to a loss of $81,014, compared to $196,089 for the year ended December 31, 2008.  This decrease is primarily due to a decrease in gross profit offset by a decrease in general and administrative expenses.

 
51

 

Interest and financing expenses for the year ended December 31, 2009 were $4,421, compared to $3,303 for the year ended December 31, 2008.

All tax effects of the Company's income or loss were passed through to the individual stockholders.  The Company files income taxes in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the State of New Jersey.

We recorded net loss of $89,185 for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to net income of $192,786 for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
Recognition of income on construction contracts

The Company is on the percentage of completion method for recognizing profits on fixed price contracts for financial reporting purposes. Estimates of percentage of completion are based on direct costs incurred to date as a percentage of the latest estimate of total costs anticipated. This method is used because management considers costs incurred to be the best available measure of progress on these contracts. Because of the inherent uncertainties in estimating costs, it is at least reasonably possible that the company's estimates of costs and revenues will change in the near future. Provisions for anticipated losses on contracts are made when such losses become apparent. Profits on cost-plus contracts are recognized as costs are incurred for financial reporting purposes.
 
Accounts Receivable

The Company provides construction services to a diversified group of customers. Unsecured credit is extended based on an evaluation of each customer's financial condition. Uncollectible accounts receivable are charged directly against earnings when they are determined to be uncollectible. Use of this method does not result in a material difference from the valuation method required by generally accepted accounting principles.

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Costs to complete or estimated profits on uncompleted lump-sum contracts are management's best estimate based on facts and circumstances at that time.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2009, the FASB released FSP SFAS No. 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments  (“SFAS No. 107-1”). SFAS No. 107-1 requires interim disclosures regarding the fair values of financial instruments that are within the scope of SFAS No. 107,  Disclosures about the Fair Value of Financial Instruments.  Additionally, SFAS No. 107-1 requires disclosure of the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments on an interim basis as well as changes of the methods and significant assumptions from prior periods. SFAS No. 107-1 does not change the accounting treatment for these financial instruments and is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. We adopted SFAS No. 107-1 as of June 30, 2009.

In June 2009, the FASB issued FAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Codification) and the Hierarchy of GAAP” (FAS No. 168), which replaces FAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of GAAP” and establishes the Codification as the single source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. SEC rules and interpretive releases are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. FAS No. 168 modifies the GAAP hierarchy to include only two levels of GAAP: authoritative and non-authoritative. FAS No. 168 is effective beginning for periods ended after September 15, 2009. As FAS No. 168 is not intended to change or alter existing GAAP, it will not impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Results of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010

Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2010 decreased by $350,654, or 64.0%, from the corresponding period in 2009, primarily due to a lesser number of contracts as well as a slowdown in the general economy. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company bid less large contracts to lessen their potential post construction liability (builder’s risk) in anticipation of the purchase by GEMS, Inc. and change in business strategy.

Cost of revenues was $168,799, or 83.7% of revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to $546,172, or 98.9% of revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2009.  The increase in our gross profit of $26,719 to $32,928 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from $6,209 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 is primarily attributable to improvements in managing contracts and more profitable contracts from the prior year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2010 were $82,949, compared to $94,916 for the three months ended March 31, 2009.  The decrease of $11,967 is primarily due to decreases in salaries and benefits of $14,250 offset by increases of overhead costs of approximately $2,283.

Our operating loss for the three months ended March 31, 2010 decreased by $38,686 to $50,021, compared to $88,707 for the three months ended March 31, 2009.  This decrease is primarily due to a $26,719 increase in gross profit resulting from a decrease in our contract volume, partially offset by our decreased selling, general and administrative expenses of $11,967.

Interest and financing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2010 were $3,159, compared to $2,444 for the three months ended March 31, 2009.  Interest expense decreased as we paid off installment note liabilities.

We recorded a net loss of $53,972 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to net loss of $91,151 for the three months ended March 31, 2009.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2010, we had a negative working capital of $284,251, compared to negative working capital of $227,996 at December 31, 2009.  Cash was $5,911 as of March 31, 2010 compared to $18,241 at December 31, 2009.  The $56,225 decrease in working capital is primarily due to our decrease in trade receivables. We expect to make additional investments for equipment and inventory during the next twelve months to service our new pending contract with a significant Northeast-based customer and potential other new contract customers.  We expect to use our cash on hand, capital raised of approximately $1.2 million from our merger with CDSS, plus cash from operations, to make these additional investments.

Other significant changes in our working capital components include an increase of $22,917 in our percentage of completion adjustment regarding our contracts in process and a decrease of $56,842 in accounts payable and accrued expenses.  The decrease in accounts receivable, the decrease in contracts in process and the decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses are all the direct result of our bidding fewer contracts.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements - None

Legal Proceedings - None

Controls and Procedures.
 
At this time, we plan to use the controls and procedures used by CDSS and to implement changes after consummation of the proposed merger.

INFORMATION ABOUT CDSS
 
For purposes of this section entitled “Information About CDSS” only, all references to “we,” “us,” or “our” refers to CDSS prior to the effectiveness of the merger.
 
Description of Business
 
CDSS was incorporated in Delaware in December 1996.  Its principal executive offices are located at 2100 McKinney Avenue, Suite 1500, Dallas, Texas 75201.  

The business was operated from May 17, 2002 until the sale of substantially all of its assets to McAfee, Inc. on December 4, 2006 when its operations ceased.   On December 4, 2006, Citadel Security Software Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, "Citadel" or the “Company”) closed the sale of substantially all of its assets to McAfee Security, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of McAfee, Inc., pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Asset Purchase Agreement") between the Company and McAfee, Inc. and a subsidiary ("McAfee").  On December 12, 2006 Citadel Security Software Inc. changed its name to CDSS Wind Down Inc. (“CDSS”).  The Asset Purchase Agreement provided for the acquisition of substantially all of the assets (the “Assets”) and the assumption of certain identified liabilities of CDSS by McAfee (collectively, the "Sale").  The cash consideration received by CDSS for the purchase of the Assets and operating expense reimbursement was $60,020,579 in immediately available funds.  A distribution of $0.50 per share was made on January 5, 2007 to shareholders of record on January 2, 2007.  From December 5, 2006 and prior to December 31, 2009, all known liabilities associated with our prior operations were settled and all distributions to shareholders were made.

Up to and until the sale of substantially all of its assets, the Company was engaged in the development, marketing and licensing of security software products to large enterprises and government agencies.   Following the Sale, the Company has had no operations and no employees but has incurred costs and expenses associated with the wind down activities conducted under its prior plan of liquidation and dissolution (the “Plan of Liquidation”) and the costs to remain in SEC reporting compliance.

During 2009, the Board of Directors considered alternatives to liquidating or dissolving the Company including the potential for commencing a development stage company or the potential for acquiring an operating company in a merger or asset purchase transaction and determined on November 16, 2009 to terminate the Plan of Liquidation previously approved by the Board of Directors on October 13, 2006 and by the shareholders of the Company on December 1, 2006.   

On April 30, 2004 the Company’s stock moved from the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) exchange to the NASDAQ Capital Market and traded under the symbol "CDSS".  On May 5, 2006 the Company's stock moved to the OTCBB following a delisting notice form the NASDAQ for failure to meet the $1 per share minimum trading price.  On January 11, 2007 the trading symbol became "CWDW" resulting from the name change described above.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
 
On March 29, 2010, we entered into a definitive merger agreement with Green Energy Management Services, Inc. Pursuant to the merger agreement, we will effect a 1 for 3 reserve split of our outstanding common stock, issue post-split shares constituting approximately 80% of our outstanding shares in exchange for all of the outstanding common stock of GEM, replace our officers and directors with those of GEM, and change our name to "Green Energy Management Services Holdings, Inc." Copies of the merger agreement and charter amendments are attached to this information statement.
 
The parties each made customary representations and warranties in the merger agreement, which is subject to customary closing conditions, as well as a condition that we raise $1.25 million in new capital prior to closing (with a corresponding reduction in the amount of shares issuable pursuant to a convertible note held by our chief executive officer). The merger agreement contains termination rights for both parties. The merger is expected to close in the second quarter of 2010. No assurance can be given that the conditions to closing the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement will be satisfied, or that the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement ultimately will be consummated.

The foregoing description of the merger agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full and complete terms of the merger agreement, which is attached to this information statement.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2010 AND 2009

During the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 we had no operations and no employees.  Our primary expenses consisted of professional fees, records storage fees and fees associated with public company reporting compliance.

Operating expenses recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2010 were $30,944 versus $4,432 during the three months ended March 31, 2009.  The increase of $26,512 is primarily due to higher legal and accounting fees during the three months ended March 31, 2010 versus the three months ended March 31, 2009.

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $12,460 of which $10,397 relates to the amortization of note discount.  Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $1,908 including just $493 of amortization of note discount

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash position at March 31, 2010 was $506 and we had outstanding liabilities to unrelated third parties of $156,476, notes payable to related parties of $78,599 (including interest payable of $9,148 but before a non-cash discount of $49,961) and advances aggregating $75,703 due to related parties at March 31, 2010.  There are no operations from which cash flows may be generated.  Our CEO provided cash advances to us or paid expenses on our behalf of approximately $18,796 during the three months ended March 31, 2010.  Our CEO has committed to advance us additional funds should it be necessary for working capital purposes, on terms and conditions to be approved by the disinterested directors of the Company and the CEO.  Past funding needs of the business have been met by cash advances from the CEO, however there can be no assurance that such funds will be available from the CEO or other related parties in the future or on terms acceptable to us.  We have been and continue to be dependent upon outside sources of cash to pay operating expenses.

Pending Merger

On March 29, 2010, the Company and a wholly-owned subsidiary entered into a Merger Agreement (the "Merger Agreement") with Green Energy Management Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("GEM"). As of March 31, 2010, the merger has not closed. Conditions to closing include that the Company will effect a 1 for 3 reverse split of the outstanding common stock, amend the certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 100,000,000 to 500,000,000, issue approximately 352 million post-split shares (representing approximately 80% of the Company’s outstanding shares) in exchange for all of the outstanding common stock of GEM, replace the Company’s officers and directors with those of GEM, and change the Company’s name to "Green Energy Management Services Holdings, Inc."  In addition, the Company must raise $1,250,000 prior to the closing of the transaction. The merger is expected to close during the second quarter of 2010. 

The parties each made representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement, which is subject to closing conditions. The Merger Agreement contains termination rights for both parties, including a provision which would allow the board of directors of the Company to terminate the merger agreement in order to comply with its fiduciary duties. No assurance can be given that the conditions to closing the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement will be satisfied, or that the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement ultimately will be fully consummated.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009 AND 2008

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash position at December 31, 2009 was $581 and we had outstanding liabilities to unrelated third parties of $117,032 and gross notes payable plus a payable aggregating $134,091 (before a non-cash note discount of $60,358) to a related party at December 31, 2009.  There are no operations from which cash flows may be generated.  Our CEO provided cash advances to us or paid expenses on our behalf of approximately $49,600 during the year ended December 31, 2009.  We have been and continue to be dependent upon our CEO or other sources of cash to pay operating expenses.  If available cash is not adequate to meet our obligations, liabilities, operating costs and claims, our CEO may agree to advance us additional funds through December 31, 2010 should it be necessary for working capital purposes, on terms and conditions to be approved by the disinterested directors of the Company and the CEO.  However there can be no assurance that such funds will be available from our CEO or other related parties in the future or on terms acceptable to us.

Going Concern

We have received a report from our independent registered public accounting firm for our year ended December 31, 2009 containing an explanatory paragraph that describes the uncertainty regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.  We have no revenues or earnings from operations, and there is a risk that we will be unable to continue as a going concern, consummate a business combination or other similar transaction.  We have no cash or significant assets or financial resources.  We will, in all likelihood, sustain operating expenses without corresponding revenues, at least until the consummation of a merger, acquisition or other similar transaction, resulting in continuing net operating losses being incurred.  We cannot assure you that we can identify a suitable business opportunity and consummate a business combination, or that any such business will be profitable at the time of its acquisition by us or ever.  Until we are able to create liquidity through a merger, acquisition or some other liquidity transaction, we will continue to require working capital to fund operating expenses.

Historically, we have incurred recurring operating losses and have a stockholders' deficit at December 31, 2009 of approximately $164,000.  We had a cash balance of $581 at December 31, 2009 and gross current liabilities of approximately $277,000 before a non-cash note discount of approximately $60,000.  These conditions raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  We expect that we will incur losses at least until we complete a business combination and perhaps after such a combination as well.  There can be no assurances that we will ever be profitable.  We have limited access to capital, no plans to raise capital and no third party sources of capital at December 31, 2009.  Our past funding needs of the business have been provided by financings through cash advances received from and notes payable issued to our CEO.  There can be no assurance that such funds will be available from this related party in the future.   Without additional funds there is an uncertainty as to whether we can continue as a going concern.

Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2009 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2008

Operating expenses recorded during the year ended December 31, 2009 were $82,264 versus $473,001 during the year ended December 31, 2008.  The lower operating expenses are a direct result of winding down operations.   During the year ended December 31, 2008 we terminated all of our employees, terminated our office lease and reduced our primary recurring expenses to bank charges, professional fees, records storage fees and fees associated with tax compliance and public company reporting.  This reduced operating level resulted in a decrease of $390,737 in total operating expenses during the year ended December 31, 2009 versus the year ended December 31, 2008.  The reduction in operating expenses was partially offset by a charge for a tax audit assessment for back sales taxes of $19,971.

Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $21,152 and includes $5,739 of interest on  the note payable to the CEO, debt discount amortization of $8,662 and an interest charge of $6,751 resulting from a sales tax audit assessment.  Total interest expense of $2,425 for the year ended December 31, 2008 included $1,994 of interest on the note payable to the CEO and $431 of debt discount amortization.  During the year ended December 31, 2008 the Company recorded interest income of $970 earned on invested cash during 2008.

Cash Flows

Cash flows used in operating activities were $49,042 and $504,766 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  The decrease in cash outflows from operating activities in 2009 versus 2008 is primarily due to the reduction in our net loss in 2009 versus 2008, as a direct result of our reduced operating activities, non-cash amortization of debt discount charged to interest expense of $8,662 and a net increase in liabilities of $76,463.

Cash inflows, from financing activities in 2009 and 2008, was $49,613 and $76,745, respectively, consisting of cash advances received from our CEO.

Critical Accounting Policies

Financial Statement Presentation as a Going Concern

When preparing the financial statements, we assess our ability to continue as a going concern.  We have assumed that the Company will continue as a going concern and as a result the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.   This assumption is based upon the CEO’s historical funding to pay operating expenses and the determination by the Board of Directors to seek alternatives for the company to merge or acquire another business or to initiate a development stage business within the company.

CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

As reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K, dated July 24, 2009, we engaged Malone & Bailey PC (“Malone & Bailey”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009 to replace the firm of KBA Group LLP (“KBA”).  The engagement of Malone & Bailey was effective as of July 24, 2009.  We previously disclosed the resignation of KBA on a Current Report on Form 8-K, dated June 3, 2009, the terms of which are incorporated by reference herein.

During our two most recent fiscal years, and in the subsequent interim period though July 24 , 2009, neither we nor anyone on our behalf consulted with Malone & Bailey regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements, and Malone & Bailey did not provide either a written report or oral advice to us that was an important factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement, as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions, or a reportable event, as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

CONTROL AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
 
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (who is also our Acting Chief Financial Officer), evaluated the effectiveness of our company's disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.  Based on this evaluation and because of the material weakness described below, our Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer has concluded that as a result of the material weaknesses described in the Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting in this Form 10-K, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.  To address the material weaknesses described below, we have expanded our disclosure controls and procedures to include additional analysis and other procedures over the preparation of the financial statements included in this report.  Accordingly, our management has concluded that the financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

(b) Management's annual report on internal control over financial reporting
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under Securities Exchange Act of 1934.   Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

 
64

 

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (who is also our Acting Chief financial Officer), evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009.   In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework.   Based on this evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, concluded that, as of December 31, 2009, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective.

As of December 31, 2009, our management identified weaknesses in controls due to a lack of segregation of duties due to our limited staff size.   While we believe we have other controls in place that mitigate the risk of material misstatement, this control deficiency could result in a misstatement of the presentation and disclosure of our statement of operations that would result in a material misstatement in our annual or interim financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.  Accordingly, management determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009.  Notwithstanding the existence of material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer, believe that the financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
 
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management's report was not subject to attestation by the company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of  the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide only management's report in this annual report.
 
(c) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company's last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

MAJOR GENERAL (RET.) JOHN LEIDE has served as a director of CDSS since December 2001. His military career includes service in infantry, special operations, security and intelligence matters for more than 30 years, including four combat tours.

The Board of Directors consists of a majority of “independent directors” as such term is defined in the Nasdaq Stock Market Marketplace Rules.  The Board of Directors has determined that Joe M.  Allbaugh, Chris A.  Economou, Major General (Ret.) John Leide and Mark Rogers are independent directors, based on representations from each such director that they meet the relevant NASDAQ and SEC definitions.

EQUITY COMPENSATION PLANS

The 2002 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the "Plan") was adopted by the board of directors and approved by the stockholders of CDSS.  The Plan authorizes the Board or a committee, which administers the plan, to grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and deferred stock awards to eligible officers, directors, employees and consultants.  A total of 3,000,000 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance under the terms of the Plan.  In the event of any sale of assets, merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, stock dividend or other change in corporate structure affecting the stock, the Board or committee may make an equitable substitution or adjustment in the aggregate number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan.  Options cancelled since the inception of the Plan due to employee terminations amounted to 3,418,276 and were added back to the options available for future grants under the Plan.  Option holders under the Plan have exercised 437,224 options since the inception of the Plan through December 31, 2009.   No options were outstanding or exercisable under the Plan at December 31, 2009 or 2008.   Typically, any options granted would have a term of 10 years and generally vest over periods of up to three years.  The underlying shares of the initial 1,500,000 shares of common stock in the Plan were registered on Form S-8 in July 2003.
 
The board of directors had also granted options outside of the Plan.  These options are not covered under a plan approved by the stockholders.  Options had been granted to officers, directors, employees, stockholders and consultants to the Company.  The options granted typically have a term of 10 years or less.   At December 31, 2009 and 2008, 675,000 options awarded outside of the Plan were outstanding and exercisable at a weighted average exercise price of $2.04 per share.  No options were granted outside the Plan in 2009 or 2008.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

On August 27, 2008, the Company and Steven B. Solomon, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, President and Chairman of the Board of Directors, entered into a Convertible Promissory Note (the "Note"). The Note represents advances of approximately $69,451 by Mr. Solomon to the Company through the issue date of the Note. The Note bears interest at eight percent (8%) per year and is payable on August 27, 2010 or upon demand by Mr. Solomon. If the Note had been converted in full at December 31, 2009, Mr. Solomon would have received 228,788,200 shares of the Company's common stock resulting in a beneficial ownership of approximately 90% of the Company's then issued and outstanding common stock.

Prior to the issuance of the Note, Mr. Solomon beneficially owned 6,854,484 shares of the Company's common stock. Therefore, at December 31, 2009, Mr. Solomon beneficially owned a total of 235,642,684 shares of the Company’s common stock (if the Note were converted into shares of the Company’s common stock), or more than 50% of the Company’s common stock outstanding on that date, giving him potential control of the Company through the voting power over a majority of the shares of our outstanding common stock. During the second quarter of 2010, Mr. Solomon converted a $18,821 convertible note payable into 62,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company. Mr. Solomon retains the right to convert the remaining balance of the note payable of $50,630 into 166,788,200 shares of common stock when enough authorized shares become available.

 
68

 

The Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized shares of common stock available to permit the conversion of the Note in full at this time. The Company has agreed to use its best efforts to obtain shareholder approval to (a) increase the number of authorized shares of common stock to a number sufficient to permit conversion, or (b) to effect a reverse stock split to reduce the number of currently outstanding shares of common stock to a number small enough to permit the conversion of the Note.

At December 31, 2009, the Company has amounts owed to its CEO of (i) $69,451 in the form of a convertible promissory note, (ii) $7,733 of accrued interest related to the Note, and (iii) $56,907 in the form of a payable for cash advances to the Company and the payment of expenses on behalf of the Company. Our CEO advanced cash to the Company of approximately $49,600 to fund operating expenses during the year ended December 31, 2009. The Company has made no payments during the year ended December 31, 2009 of principal, or interest or any repayments of the cash advances. The Company has been and continues to be dependent upon outside financing to continue to fund expenses and to alternatives being considered by the Board of Directors. Past funding needs of the business have been provided by financings through notes payable, cash advances and additional investments from related parties, including the Company's CEO, however there can be no assurance that such funds will be available from our CEO or others in the future, or at terms acceptable to the Company.

COMPARISON OF RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF GEM COMMON STOCK
AND CDSS COMMON STOCK
 
Upon completion of the merger, there will be no change in the rights of holders of GEM common stock because CDSS will amend and restate its certificate of incorporation and bylaws to be substantially similar to the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of GEM immediately prior to the merger. CDSS shareholders rights will change because of the changes to its certificate of incorporation and bylaws. In addition, the par value of CDSS common stock will change from $0.01 per share to $0.0001 per share as a result of the reverse split. Also, as a result of the reverse stock split and merger, CDSS stockholders will own approximately 88 million shares in the combined company, while GEM stockholders will own approximately 352 million shares in the combined company. Accordingly, CDSS shareholders’ percentage ownership in CDSS will substantially decrease as a result of the merger.

Upon completion of the merger, CDSS will change its name to Green Energy Management Services Holdings, Inc., and adopt the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of GEM in effect immediately prior to the merger. Those documents are substantially similar to the current Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of CDSS except that the Bylaws of CDSS provide that stockholders representing 25% of the outstanding common stock may call a special meeting of stockholders while the Bylaws of GEM provide that special meetings of stockholders may only be called by the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President or Secretary of the corporation, in each case pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors.

INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND LEGAL COUNSEL

Shackelford Melton & McKinley, legal counsel to CDSS, owns no shares of its common stock.

Michael Hill, legal counsel to GEM, owns no shares of its common stock.

To the Stockholders
Southside Electric, Inc.
Teaneck, New Jersey

 
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Southside Electric, Inc. (an S-Corporation) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the related statements of income (loss) and retained earnings (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 financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall 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 Southside Electric, Inc. as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, 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.

SOUTHSIDE ELECTRIC, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2009 AND 2008


Note 1 - Summary of significant accounting policies -

Nature of operations

Southside Electric, Inc. (the Company) is a local electrical unionized contractor specializing in light commercial construction and residential projects. Incorporated in March 1990, the Company mainly operates in the New Jersey and New York City region.

Recognition of income on construction contracts

The Company is on the percentage of completion method for recognizing profits on fixed price contracts for financial reporting purposes. Estimates of percentage of completion are based on direct costs incurred to date as a percentage of the latest estimate of total costs anticipated. This method is used because management considers costs incurred to be the best available measure of progress on these contracts. Because of the inherent uncertainties in estimating costs, it is at least reasonably possible that the company's estimates of costs and revenues will change in the near future. Provisions for anticipated losses on contracts are made when such losses become apparent. Profits on cost-plus contracts are recognized as costs are incurred for financial reporting purposes.

Income taxes

All tax effects of the Company's income or loss are passed through to the individual stockholders. For income tax purposes, the Company files utilizing the cash basis of accounting and uses accelerated methods of depreciation for capitalized assets.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the State of New Jersey. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to federal and state income tax examinations by tax authorities for the years before 2006. Any interest and penalties assessed by income taxing authorities are not significant and are included in general and administrative expense in these financial statements.

Property and equipment

The Company records its property and equipment at cost and provides for depreciation using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and accelerated methods for income tax reporting purposes.

Statements of cash flows

For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash includes certificates of deposit and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less.

 
81

 

Accounts Receivable

The Company provides construction services to a diversified group of customers. Unsecured credit is extended based on an evaluation of each customer's financial condition. Uncollectible accounts receivable are charged directly against earnings when they are determined to be uncollectible. Use of this method does not result in a material difference from the valuation method required by generally accepted accounting principles.

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Costs to complete or estimated profits on uncompleted lump-sum contracts are management's best estimate based on facts and circumstances at that time.

Advertising

The Company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred. There were no advertising costs in 2009 and 2008.

CDSS WIND DOWN INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2010

NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

Interim Financial Statements and Basis of Presentation

These unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly, the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of CDSS Wind Down Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively “CDSS” or the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

Some information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). The results of operations for the interim periods shown herein are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future interim period or for the entire year. These statements should be read together with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 on file with the Commission.

Going Concern

The Company has been and continues to be dependent upon outside financing to continue its existence and to fund alternatives being considered by the Board of Directors.  The Company will continue to require working capital to fund operating expenses, primarily accounting, legal and compliance reporting costs to maintain the shell company.  Therefore, there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might arise from this uncertainty.

Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the periods, including the assumed conversions of dilutive securities such as preferred stock, options, and warrants. For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, basic and diluted net loss per common share are identical because the number of shares assumed in the exercise of common stock options outstanding would be antidilutive and are therefore excluded from the computation of diluted loss per common share.
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the effect of stock options for 675,000 shares of common stock outstanding at March 31, 2010 and 2009 and the effects of issuing 228,788,200 shares of common stock upon the assumed conversion of a note payable to the Company's CEO have been excluded from the weighted average shares computation as the effect of the above potentially dilutive securities would be antidilutive to the net loss per share during those periods.

NOTE B - PENDING MERGER TRANSACTION

On March 29, 2010, the Company and a wholly-owned subsidiary entered into a Merger Agreement (the "Merger Agreement") with Green Energy Management Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("GEM"). As of March 31, 2010, the merger had not closed. Conditions to closing include that the Company will effect a 1 for 3 reverse split of the outstanding common stock, amend the certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 100,000,000 to 500,000,000, issue approximately 352 million post-split shares (representing approximately 80% of the Company’s outstanding shares) in exchange for all of the outstanding common stock of GEM, replace the Company’s officers and directors with those of GEM, and change the Company’s name to "Green Energy Management Services Holdings, Inc."  In addition, the Company must raise $1,250,000 prior to the closing of the transaction. The merger is expected to close during the second quarter of 2010.

The parties each made representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement, which is subject to closing conditions. The Merger Agreement contains termination rights for both parties, including a provision which would allow the board of directors of the Company to terminate the merger agreement in order to comply with its fiduciary duties. No assurance can be given that the conditions to closing the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement will be satisfied, or that the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement ultimately will be fully consummated.

 
89

 

NOTE C - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

At March 31, 2010 the Company owed its CEO (i) $69,451 in the form of a convertible promissory note (before note discount of $49,961), (ii) $9,148 of accrued interest related to the note, and (iii) $75,703 in the form of a payable for cash advances to the Company and for the payment of expenses on behalf of the Company.  The CEO has committed to advance the Company additional funds should it be necessary for working capital expenses, on terms and conditions to be approved by the disinterested directors of the Company and the CEO.  Past funding needs of the business have been met by cash advances from the CEO, however there can be no assurance that such funds will continue to be available from the CEO or other related parties in the future. The Company has been and continues to be dependent upon outside sources of cash to pay expenses.

On August 27, 2008, the Company and Steven B. Solomon, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, President and Chairman of the Board of Directors, entered into a Convertible Promissory Note (the "Note").  The Note represents advances of approximately $69,451 by Mr. Solomon to the Company through the issue date of the Note.  The Note bears interest at eight percent (8%) per year and is payable on August 27, 2010 or upon demand by Mr. Solomon.  If the Note had been converted in full at March 31, 2010, Mr. Solomon would have received approximately 228,788,200 shares of the Company's common stock resulting in a beneficial ownership of approximately 90% of the Company's then issued and outstanding common stock.  On March 31, 2010, Mr. Solomon beneficially owned a total of 235,642,684 shares of the Company’s common stock (as if the Note were converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at that date), and the conversion of the note would trigger a change in control giving Mr. Solomon control of the Company through the voting power over a majority of the shares of outstanding common stock.

This conversion feature was evaluated under ASC 815-15. Upon conversion, 228,788,200 shares of common stock would be issued, which exceeds the number of authorized shares.  Upon conversion, Mr. Solomon would own 90% of the outstanding common stock and would then control the Company.  Based on the Mr. Solomon’s ability to authorize an increase in available shares without additional shareholder votes, no derivative liability was recognized.

The Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized shares of common stock available to permit the conversion of the Note in full. The Company has agreed to use its best efforts to obtain shareholder approval to (a) increase the number of authorized shares of common stock to a number sufficient to permit conversion, or (b) to effect a reverse stock split to reduce the number of currently outstanding shares of common stock to a number small enough to permit the conversion of the Note.

The conversion price of the Amended Note of approximately $0.0003 per share was below the fair value per share of the common stock at the date the note was issued resulting in  beneficial conversion feature, therefore the amount of discount assigned to the note is limited to the proceeds of $69,451.  The fair value of the beneficial conversion feature of $69,451 was credited to additional paid-in capital. The discount is being amortized to interest expense over the two year term of the note using the interest method over the two year term of the note.

NOTE D – SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On April 30, 2010, Mr. Solomon converted a portion of the note payable into 62,000,000 shares of common stock triggering a change of control of the Company.  No adjustment to the financial statements at March 31, 2010 was required for the effects of this transaction.

Set forth below are the audited financial statements for the Company for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the reports thereon of MaloneBailey, LLP.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of CDSS Wind Down Inc.
Dallas, Texas


We have audited the balance sheet of CDSS Wind Down Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related statements of operations, shareholders’ 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 the financial statements and financial statement schedules based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits 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 also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall 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 Company as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that CDSS Wind Down Inc. will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note A to the financial statements, CDSS Wind Down Inc. suffered losses from operations and has a working capital deficit, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters also are described in Note A. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

CDSS WIND DOWN INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2009

NOTE A - NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of Business

CDSS Wind Down Inc. (“CDSS”) was incorporated in Delaware in December 1996. Its principal executive offices are located at 2100 McKinney Avenue, Suite 1500, Dallas, Texas 75201.  The business was operated as a standalone software company formerly known as Citadel Security Software Inc. from May 17, 2002 until December 4, 2006 when operations ceased due to the sale of substantially all of the Company’s assets to a subsidiary of McAfee Inc. (the “Sale”).  On December 12, 2006 Citadel Security Software Inc. changed its name to CDSS Wind Down Inc. (“CDSS”) and began trading under the symbol “CWDW” on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board.

Until the Sale, the Company was engaged in the development, marketing and licensing of security software products to large enterprises and government agencies.  Following the Sale, the Company has had no operations but has been engaged in the wind down activities of its prior software business and has incurred costs and expenses associated with maintaining compliance with tax and public company reporting requirements.  During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had no operations.  The remaining employees following the Sale voluntarily terminated during the year ended December 31, 2008 and no employees have been hired since.

Basis of Presentation

On November 16, 2009, the Board of Directors terminated the plan of liquidation and dissolution (the ”Plan of Liquidation”) previously approved by the Board of Directors on October 13, 2006 and by the shareholders of the Company on December 1, 2006.  As a result of the Plan of Liquidation, management had prepared its financial statements under the liquidation basis of accounting which management had considered appropriate.  During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Board of Directors discussed alternatives to liquidating or dissolving the Company and determined to terminate the Plan of Liquidation and to consider other alternatives including the potential for commencing operations of a development stage company or for acquiring an operating company in a merger or asset purchase transaction.  At December 31, 2009, no business opportunities had been identified by the Board of Directors or management and there can be no assurance that any profitable companies or operations may be identified or acquired in the future.  However, as a result of this decision by the Board of Directors, management determined that the presentation of the financial statements under the liquidation basis of accounting was no longer appropriate and has prepared the financial statement for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 under the going concern basis of accounting.

Going Concern

The Company’ cash position at December 31, 2009 was $581 and it had outstanding liabilities to unrelated third parties of $117,032 and gross notes payable and advances aggregating $134,091 (before a non-cash note discount of $60,358) to related parties at December 31, 2009.  These conditions raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  There are no operations from which cash flows may be generated.  The Company will continue to require working capital to fund operating expenses, primarily accounting, legal and compliance reporting costs.  The Company has limited access to capital, no plans to raise capital and no identified sources of capital from unrelated third parties.  The Company has been and continues to be dependent upon outside financing to continue to fund expenses and to alternatives being considered by the Board of Directors.  Past funding needs of the business have been provided by financings through notes payable, cash advances and additional investments from related parties, including the Company's CEO, however there can be no assurance that such funds will be available from the CEO or others in the future, or at terms acceptable to the Company.  Therefore, there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires 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 results of operations during the reporting period.  In addition, the preparation of consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make assumptions, judgments and estimates that can have a significant impact on our reported financial; position, results of operations and cash flows.  Management bases its assumptions, judgments and estimates on the most recent information available and various other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.  On a regular basis management evaluates its assumptions, judgments and estimates and makes changes accordingly.  Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.  

 
96

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method.  Deferred income tax expenses are provided based upon estimated future tax effects of differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes calculated based upon provisions of enacted laws.

Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the periods, including the assumed conversions of dilutive securities such as preferred stock, options, and warrants.  For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, basic and diluted net loss per common share are identical because the number of shares assumed in the exercise of common stock options outstanding would be antidilutive and are therefore excluded from the computation of diluted loss per common share.

For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the effect of outstanding stock options for 675,000 shares of common stock at December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the effects of issuing 228,788,200 shares of common stock upon the assumed conversion of a note payable to the Company’s CEO have been excluded from the weighted average shares computation as the effect of the above potentially dilutive securities would be antidilutive to the net loss per share during those periods.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

During the third quarter of 2009, the Company adopted The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC or Codification) and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) which establishes the Codification as the sole source for authoritative U.S. GAAP and will supersede all accounting standards in U.S. GAAP, aside from those issued by the SEC. The adoption of the Codification did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Since the adoption of the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) the notes to the consolidated financial statements will no longer make reference to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) or other U.S. GAAP pronouncements.

Effective June 30, 2009, the Company implemented FASB ASC 855, Subsequent Events. This standard establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. The adoption of ASC 855 did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company does not expect the adoption of any other recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE B - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

At December 31, 2009 the Company owed its CEO (i) $69,451 in the form of a convertible promissory note before a non-cash debt discount of $60,358, (ii) $7,733 of accrued interest related to the note, and (iii) $56,907 in the form of a payable for cash advances to the Company and for the payment of expenses on behalf of the Company.  At December 31, 2008 the Company owed its CEO (i) $69,451 in the form of a convertible promissory note before a non-cash debt discount of $69,020, (ii) $1,994 of accrued interest related to the note, and (iii) $7,294 in the form of a payable for cash advances to the Company and for the payment of expenses on behalf of the Company.  The CEO has committed to advance the Company additional funds should it be necessary for working capital during the year ended December 31, 2010, on terms and conditions to be approved by the disinterested directors of the Company and the CEO, however there can be no assurance that such funds will be available from the CEO beyond this commitment, or at terms acceptable to the Company.
 
On August 27, 2008, the Company and Steven B. Solomon, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, President and Chairman of the Board of Directors, entered into a Convertible Promissory Note (the "Note").  The Note represents advances of approximately $69,451 by Mr. Solomon to the Company through the issue date of the Note.  The Note bears interest at eight percent (8%) per year and is payable on August 27, 2010 or upon demand by Mr. Solomon.  If the Note had been converted in full at December 31, 2009, Mr. Solomon would have received approximately 228,788,200 shares of the Company's common stock resulting in a beneficial ownership of approximately 90% of the Company's then issued and outstanding common stock.  On December 31, 2009, Mr. Solomon beneficially owned a total of 235,642,684 shares of the Company’s common stock (as if the Note were converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at that date), and the conversion of the note would trigger a change in control giving Mr. Solomon control of the Company through the voting power over a majority of the shares of outstanding common stock.

 
97

 

The conversion price of the Amended Note of approximately $0.0003 per share was below the fair value per share of the common stock at the date the note was issued resulting in recognition of the fair value of a beneficial conversion feature as a discount assigned to the note which was limited to the note proceeds of $69,451.  The fair value of the beneficial conversion feature of $69,451 was credited to additional paid-in capital and discount is being amortized to interest expense using the interest method over the two year term of the note.

The Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized shares of common stock available to permit the conversion of the Note in full.  The Company has agreed to use its best efforts to obtain shareholder approval to (a) increase the number of authorized shares of common stock to a number sufficient to permit conversion, or (b) to effect a reverse stock split to reduce the number of currently outstanding shares of common stock to a number small enough to permit the conversion of the Note.

This conversion feature was evaluated under ASC 815-15. Upon conversion, 228,788,200 shares of common stock would be issued, which exceeds the number of authorized shares.  Upon conversion, Mr. Solomon would own 90% of the outstanding common stock and would then control the Company.  Based on the Mr. Solomon’s ability to authorize an increase in available shares without additional shareholder votes, no derivative liability was recognized.

For federal income tax purposes, at December 31, 2009 the Company had a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $4,800,000.  The net operating loss carryforward, which is subject to annual limitations as prescribed by the Internal Revenue Code, is available to offset future taxable income and begins to expire in 2020.  Under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the amounts of and the benefits from net operating loss carryforwards and credits may be impaired or limited in certain circumstances.  Events which cause limitations in the amount of net operating losses that the Company may utilize in any one year include, but are not limited to, a cumulative ownership change of more than 50% over a three year period. The utilization of the NOL could be limited by the adoption of a plan of liquidation in 2006. In addition, the full conversion of the CEO’s convertible promissory note would result in a beneficial ownership of approximately 90% which may lead to restrictions in respect of the availability and use of the net operating loss carryforwards.  A valuation allowance has been recorded for the entire amount of the net deferred tax asset due to uncertainty of realization.

In evaluating the exposure associated with various tax filing positions, the Company considers accrual of charges for probable exposures.   At December 31, 2009, the Company believes that it has appropriately considered probable tax exposures.   To the extent the Company were not to prevail in matters for which tax accruals have been established or be required to pay taxes in excess of recorded accruals, the effective tax rate in a given financial statement period could be materially affected.   Significant judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes.  In the ordinary course of business, there are many transactions for which the ultimate tax outcome is uncertain.   Reported results may be subject to final examination by taxing authorities.   Because many transactions are subject to varying interpretations of the applicable federal, state or foreign tax laws, reported tax liabilities and taxes may be subject to change at a later date due to final determination by the taxing authorities.   The impact of this final determination on the Company’s estimated tax obligations could be significant and could increase or decrease amounts of cash available.

NOTE D – PREFERRED STOCK, COMMON STOCK AND STOCK OPTIONS

At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had 1,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock at a stated value of $1000 per share.   No preferred shares were issued and outstanding at December 31, 2009 and 2008.   In addition, the Company has 100,000,000 authorized shares of common stock of which 34,305,617 are issued and outstanding at December 31, 2009 and 2008 with a par value of $0.01 per share.

Stock-based Compensation Plans

The 2002 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan") was adopted by the board of directors and approved by the shareholders of CDSS.  The Plan authorizes the board of directors or a committee, which administers the plan, to grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and deferred stock awards to eligible officers, directors, employees and consultants.  A total of 3,000,000 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance under the terms of the Plan.  In the event of any sale of assets, merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, stock dividend or other change in corporate structure affecting the stock, the Board or committee may make an equitable substitution or adjustment in the aggregate number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan.  Any options granted under the Plan have a term of 10 years and generally vest over periods of up to three years.  No stock options were outstanding or exercisable at December 31, 2009 or 2008 under the Plan.   There were 2,562,776 stock options available for future grant under the Plan.

The Company has granted options outside of the Plan and are not covered under a plan approved by the stockholders.  The options granted have a term of 10 years or less and generally vest over periods of from one to three years.  At December 31, 2009 and 2008, 675,000 options awarded outside of the Plan were outstanding and exercisable at a weighted average exercise price of $2.04 per share and have a weighted average remaining life of 4.15 years.  The aggregate intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying awards and the quoted price of the Company’s common stock that were “in-the-money” at December 31, 2009.  No options were “in-the-money” at December 31, 2009.

For options grants, the Company recognizes compensation expense based on the estimated grant date fair value method using the Black-Scholes valuation model.  Compensation expense has been recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the options.  ASC 718-20 requires that stock-based compensation expense be based on awards that are ultimately expected to vest.  No options were granted during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, therefore no stock compensation expanse has been recorded.  As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options.
 
NOTE E - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Effective as of March 29, 2010, the Company and a wholly-owned subsidiary entered into a Merger Agreement (the "Merger Agreement") with Green Energy Management Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("GEM"). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, we will effect a 1 for 3 reverse split of our outstanding common stock, issue approximately 352 million post-split shares (representing 80% of our outstanding shares) in exchange for all of the outstanding common stock of GEM, replace our officers and directors with those of GEM, and change our name to "Green Energy Management Services Holdings, Inc."

The parties each made representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement, which is subject to closing conditions. The Merger Agreement contains termination rights for both parties, including a provision which would allow the board of directors of the Company to terminate the merger agreement in order to comply with its fiduciary duties. No assurance can be given that the conditions to closing the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement will be satisfied, or that the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement ultimately will be fully consummated.

CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT OF
AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION OF
CDSS WIND DOWN INC.

CDSS Wind Down Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware, hereby certifies as follows:

FIRST: That at a meeting of the Board of Directors of CDSS Wind Down Inc., a resolution was duly adopted setting forth a proposed amendment of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of said corporation, declaring said amendment to be advisable and directing that the amendment be submitted to the stockholders of said corporation for consideration thereof. The resolution setting forth the proposed amendment is as follows:

RESOLVED, that the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of this corporation be amended to effect a one (1) for three (3) reverse split of all of the Corporation's issued common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), whereby, automatically upon the filing of this Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, each three (3) issued shares of Common Stock shall be changed into one (1) share of Common Stock, and, in that connection, to reduce the stated capital of the Corporation.

In order to effectuate the amendment set forth above:

(a)  All of the Corporation's issued Common Stock, having a par value  of $0.01 per share, is hereby changed into new Common Stock, having a par value of $0.01 per share, on the basis of one (1) new share of Common Stock for each three (3) shares of Common Stock issued as of the date of filing of the Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware; provided, however, that no fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued pursuant to such change. Each stockholder who otherwise would be entitled to a fractional share as a result of such change shall have only a right to receive, in lieu thereof, a whole new share of Common Stock at no additional cost;

(b)  The Corporation's 100,000,000 authorized shares of Common Stock, having a par value of $0.01 per share, shall not be changed;

(c)  The Corporation's 1,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock, having a par value of $0.01 per share, shall not be changed; and

(d)  The Corporation's stated capital shall be reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate par value of the shares of Common Stock issued prior to the effectiveness of this Amendment which, as a result of the reverse split provided for herein, are no longer issued shares of Common Stock.

SECOND: That thereafter, pursuant to resolution of its Board of Directors, a consent of the stockholders of said corporation was executed in accordance with Section 228 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware at which meeting the necessary number of shares as required by statute were voted in favor of the amendment.

RECITALS
 
A.           This Agreement contemplates a reverse triangular merger, of Merger Sub with and into Company in a transaction intended to qualify as a tax free reorganization under Sections 368(a)(1)(A) and 368(a)(2)(E) of the Code.
 
B.           At the Closing, all holders (“Company Holders”) of shares of common stock, no par value per share (“Company Shares”), of the Company will receive shares of common stock, par value $0.01 (“CDSS Shares”) of CDSS in exchange for all of their Company Shares, and the Company will become a wholly-owned Subsidiary of CDSS.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, the Parties agree as follows.
 
1.             Basic Transaction.
 
A.           Merger. On and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Company (the “Merger”). Pursuant to the Merger, the Company Shares will be converted into CDSS Shares at the rate set forth herein. The Company will be the corporation surviving the Merger (after the Closing, the “Surviving Corporation”), and the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease.
 
B.           Documents. As soon as practicable following the execution of this Agreement, each Party will promptly prepare, execute and deliver to the others the various certificates, instruments, and documents referred to herein.
 
C.           Closing. The closing of the Merger will take place as soon as practicable on the business day following the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions to the obligations of the Parties to consummate the transaction, other than conditions with respect to actions the respective Parties will take at the Closing itself, or such other time as the Parties may mutually determine (the “Closing”). The Closing is currently anticipated to occur on or before April 30, 2010.
 
D.           Merger Certificate. At the Closing of the Merger, CDSS will file with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Merger between Company and Merger Sub (the “Merger Certificate”).
 
E.           Effect of Merger.
 
  (1)           General. The Merger will become effective upon filing of the Merger Certificate with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Effective Time”). The Merger will have the effect set forth in the DGCL. The Surviving Corporation may, at any time after the Closing, take any action, including executing or delivering any document, in the name and on behalf of either the Company or Merger Sub in order to carry out and effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 
103

 

(2)           Certificate of Incorporation. The certificate of incorporation of CDSS will be amended and restated at and as of the Effective Time, and the name of CDSS will be changed to “Green Energy Management Services Holdings, Inc.”

(4)           Directors and Officers.

(5)           Conversion of Company Shares and Reverse Split of CDSS Shares.
 
(a)           Conversion. At and as of the Effective Time:
 
 
(i)
each issued and outstanding Company Share (other than any Dissenting Shares) will, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on behalf of CDSS, Merger Sub, the Company, or any Company Holder, automatically be converted into and become 0.352 validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable CDSS Shares, such that the Company Holders shall receive an aggregate of 351,691,756 CDSS Shares (representing eighty  percent (80%) of the fully-diluted shares of common stock of CDSS after the Closing after giving effect to the three for one reverse stock split referred to in subsection (b) below));  ,

 
(ii) 
each Dissenting Share will be converted into the right to receive payment from Surviving Corporation with respect thereto in accordance with the provisions of the DGCL, and

 
(iii) 
all unissued and treasury Company Shares will be cancelled.
 
(b)           Reverse Split.  Prior to or as of the Effective Time, CDSS will increase its authorized capital to 500,000,000 shares of common stock and effect a reverse stock split pursuant to which each  three (3) issued and outstanding CDSS Shares will automatically be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable CDSS Share, par value $0.0001, rounding up to the nearest whole share, such that there remain a total of approximately 439,614,695 post-Merger CDSS Shares resulting from such split.
 
(c)           Share Certificates. Following the Closing, upon surrender of an original certificate representing Company Shares or pre-Merger CDSS Shares, CDSS will cause to be issued a stock certificate for CDSS Shares to which such Person is entitled, bearing any necessary or appropriate restrictive legend. CDSS will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on Company Shares or CDSS Shares with a record date at or after the Closing until the record holder surrenders for exchange his, her, or its certificates that represented Company Shares or pre-Merger CDSS Shares.
 
(d)           Lost certificates.  If any certificate evidencing Shares shall has been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit in form acceptable to CDSS’ Transfer Agent of that fact by the Person claiming the certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and an indemnity bond in such amount as the Transfer Agent may direct, as collateral security against any claim that may be made with respect to the certificate, CDSS will cause to be issued in exchange for the lost, stolen or destroyed certificate the applicable number of CDSS Shares.

 
104

 

(e)           Cancellations; Transfers.  As of the Closing of the Merger, the Company Shares and warrants and options to purchase same (collectively, “Company Securities”) will be deemed canceled and will cease to exist, and each holder of a Company Security will cease to have any rights with respect thereto, other than those expressly set forth in this Section 1.E(5).

ARTICLE V

All corporate powers shall be exercised by the board of directors of the Corporation, except as otherwise specifically required by law or as otherwise provided in this Certificate of Incorporation. Any meeting of stockholders may be postponed by action of the board of directors at any time in advance of such meeting. The board of directors of the Corporation shall have the power to adopt such rules and regulations for the conduct of the meetings and management of the affairs of the Corporation as they may deem proper and the power to adjourn any meeting of stockholders without a vote of the stockholders, which powers may be delegated by the board of directors to the chairman of such meeting either in such rules and regulations or pursuant to the by-laws of the Corporation.

Special meetings of stockholders of the Corporation may be called at any time by, but only by, the board of directors of the Corporation, to be held at such date, time and place either within or without the State of Delaware as may be stated in the notice of the meeting.  Pursuant to Delaware Code §8-211(a)(1), any and all shareholder meetings as described herein may be held by use of the telephone or of any other electronic device sufficient to permit all participants in the meeting to be heard and for the Secretary to transcribe the minutes of the meetings.

The board of directors of the Corporation is authorized to adopt, amend or repeal by-laws of the Corporation. No adoption, amendment or repeal of a by-law by action of stockholders shall be effective unless approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than 80% of the voting power of all outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Corporation and all other outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote on such matter, with such outstanding shares of Common Stock and other stock considered for this purpose as a single class.

128

 

ARTICLE VI

Elections of directors need not be by written ballot except and to the extent provided in the by-laws of the Corporation.

ARTICLE VII

There shall be one (1) class of directors of the Corporation.

The exact number of directors shall be fixed and may be changed from time to time, within the limits specified above, by an amendment to the Bylaws duly adopted by the stockholders or by the Board of Directors.

 
B.
In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by the laws of the State of Delaware, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized to make, alter, amend, or repeal the Bylaws of the Corporation.

 
C.
The term of the directors shall be one (1) year from the date of the director’s election.

 
D.

129

 

Vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors or from any other cause (other than vacancies and newly created directorships which the holders of any class or classes of stock or series thereof are expressly entitled by this Certificate of Incorporation to fill) shall be filled by, and only by, a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by the sole remaining director (and not by stockholders). Any director appointed to fill a vacancy or a newly created directorship shall hold office until the next election of the class of directors of the director which such director replaced or the class of directors to which such director was appointed, and until his or her successor is elected and qualified or until his or her earlier resignation or removal.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the holders of any class or series of Preferred Stock of the Corporation shall be entitled, voting separately as a class, to elect any directors of the Corporation, then the number of directors that may be elected by such holders voting separately as a class shall be in addition to the number fixed pursuant to a resolution of the board of directors of the Corporation. Except as otherwise provided in the terms of such class or series, (i) the terms of the directors elected by such holders voting separately as a class shall expire at the annual meeting of stockholders next succeeding their election without regard to the classification of other directors and (ii) any director or directors elected by such holders voting separately as a class may be removed, without cause, by the holders of a majority of the voting power of all outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote separately as a class in an election of such directors.

ARTICLE VIII

No action of stockholders of the Corporation required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation may be taken without a meeting of stockholders, without prior notice and without a vote, and the power of stockholders of the Corporation to consent in writing to the taking of any action without a meeting is specifically denied.  Notwithstanding this Article VIII, the holders of any series of Preferred Stock of the Corporation shall be entitled to take action by written consent to such extent, if any, as may be provided in the terms of such series.

 
130

 

Pursuant to Delaware Code §8-211(a)(1), any and all shareholder meetings as described in Sections 1.1 and 1.2 may be held by use of the telephone or of any other electronic device sufficient to permit all participants in the meeting to be heard and for the Secretary to transcribe the minutes of the meetings.

ARTICLE IX

 
A.
In addition to any approval of the board of directors or any stockholder vote or consent required by the laws of the State of Delaware or any other provision of this Certificate of Incorporation or otherwise, there shall be required for the approval, adoption, or authorization of a Business Combination with an Interested Person the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of a majority of the shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote in elections of directors considered separately for the purposes of this Article IX, which are not beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by such Interested Person; provided, however, that said voting requirement shall not be applicable if all of the conditions specified in subparagraphs (1) and (2) below are met or if all of the conditions specified in subparagraph (3) are met:

 
(1)
The consideration to be received per share in such Business Combination by holders of the stock of the Corporation is payable in cash or Acceptable Securities, or a combination of both, and the Acceptable Securities (plus the cash, if any) have a fair market value per share of the Corporation's stock of not less than either:

 
(a)
the highest price (including the highest per share brokerage commissions, transfer tax, and soliciting dealers fees) paid by said Interested Person in acquiring any of the Corporation's stock; or

 
131

 

 
(b)
a price per share obtained by multiplying the aggregate earnings per share of stock of the Corporation (appropriately adjusted for any subdivision of shares, stock dividend, or combination of shares during the period) for the four full consecutive fiscal quarters immediately preceding the record date for solicitation of votes or consents on such Business Combination by the figure obtained by dividing the highest per share price (including the highest per share brokerage commissions, transfer tax, and soliciting dealers fees) paid by such Interested Person acquiring any of the Corporation's stock by the aggregate earnings per share of the Corporation for the four full consecutive fiscal quarters immediately preceding the time when the Interested Person shall have become the beneficial owner of five percent (5%) or more of the stock of the Corporation entitled to vote in elections of directors.

If any securities were issued by an Interested Person in exchange for stock of the Corporation prior to the proposed Business Combination, the fair market value of said securities at the time of issue shall be used in determining the per share price paid for said stock.

 
(2)
After the Interested Person has become the beneficial owner of five percent (5%) or more of the stock of the Corporation entitled to vote in the election of directors and prior to the consummation of such Business Combination, there shall have been no reduction in the rate of dividends payable on the Corporation's stock which would result in a quarterly dividend rate per share which is less than the average quarterly dividend rate per share for the four full consecutive fiscal quarters immediately preceding the time when the Interested Person shall have become the beneficial owner of five percent (5%) or more of the stock of the Corporation unless such reduction in the rate of dividends has been approved by the board of directors of the Corporation and a majority of the members of the board of directors approving such reduction were duly elected and acting members of the board of directors prior to the time that such Interested Person shall have become a beneficial owner of five percent (5%) or more of the shares of the Corporation. For the purposes of this paragraph, quarterly dividend rate per share for any quarterly dividend shall be equal to the percentage said quarterly dividend per share bears to the earnings per share for the four full fiscal quarters immediately preceding the declaration of said quarterly dividend.

 
132

 

 
(3)
The board of directors of the Corporation has approved a memorandum of understanding with such other Interested Person with respect to such Business Combination prior to the time that such Interested Person shall have become a beneficial owner of five percent (5%) or more of the shares of stock entitled to vote in elections of directors, or thereafter if such Business Combination is otherwise approved by the board of directors of the Corporation, provided that a majority of the members of the board of directors voting for the approval of such transaction were duly elected and acting members of the board of directors prior to the time that such Interested Person shall have become a beneficial owner of five percent (5%) or more of the shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote in elections of directors.

 
133

 

 
B. 
For the purposes of this Article IX:

 
(1)
Affiliate and associate shall have the respective meanings given those terms in Rule 12b-2 of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 
(2)
A person shall be the beneficial owner and beneficially owns shares of stock of the Corporation (other than shares of the Corporation's stock held in its treasury) (a) which such person and its affiliates and associates beneficially own, directly or indirectly, whether of record or not, (b) which such person or any of its affiliates or associates has the right to acquire, pursuant to any agreement upon the exercise of conversion rights, warrants, or options, or otherwise, (c) which such person or any of its affiliates or associates has the right to sell or vote pursuant to any agreement, or (d) which are beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by any other person with which such first mentioned person or any of its affiliates or associates has any agreement, arrangement, or understanding for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting, or disposing of securities of the Corporation.

 
(3)
Business Combination is:

 
(a)
any merger or consolidation of the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation with or into any Interested Person (regardless of the identity of the surviving corporation);

 
134

 

 
(b)
any sale, lease, or other disposition of all or any substantial part of the assets of the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation to any Interested Person for cash or securities or both;

 
(c)
any issuance or delivery of securities of the Corporation or a subsidiary of the Corporation (which the beneficial owner shall have the right to vote, or to vote upon exercise, conversion, or by contract) to an Interested Person in consideration for or in exchange of any securities or other property (including cash);

 
(4)
Acceptable Securities shall mean (a) securities of the same class or series, with the same rights, powers, and benefits and of the same denomination, term, and interest, or dividend, if any, as the securities issued and delivered by the Interested Person in exchange for the majority of the stock of the Corporation acquired by the Interested Person or (b) the class of common stock of the Interested Person which is beneficially owned by the most persons.

 
(5)
Interested Person is any person which, as of the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of any Business Combination and to vote thereon or consent thereto, or as of the date of any such vote or consent, or immediately prior to the consummation of any Business Combination, beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, five percent (5%) or more of the shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote in elections of directors.

 
135

 

 
(6)
Person is an individual, partnership, corporation, limited liability company, or other entity.

 
(7)
Subsidiary of the Corporation is any corporation of which fifty percent (50%) or more of any class of stock is beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation.

 
C.
No amendment to this Certificate of Incorporation shall amend, alter, change, or repeal any of the provisions of this Article IX unless such amendment, in addition to receiving any stockholder vote or consent required by the laws of the State of Delaware in effect at the time, shall receive the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of a majority of the shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote in elections of directors which are not beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by any person which would be an Interested Person if the vote or consent on such amendment were a vote or consent on a Business Combination.

ARTICLE X

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 (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. If the Delaware General Corporation Law is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as so amended.

 
136

 

Any repeal or modification of the foregoing paragraph by the stockholders of the Corporation shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification.

ARTICLE XI

No provision of Article V, Article VII, Article VIII or Article X or of this Article XI shall be amended, modified or repealed, and no provision inconsistent with any such provision shall become part of this Certificate of Incorporation, unless such matter is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than 80% of the voting power of all outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Corporation and all other outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote on such matter, with such outstanding shares of Common Stock and other stock considered for this purpose as a single class. Any vote of stockholders required by this Article XI shall be in addition to any other vote of the stockholders that may be required by law, this Certificate of Incorporation, the by-laws of the Corporation, any agreement with a national securities exchange or otherwise.
