PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

You should read the following summary together with the more detailed information and the financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus. This Prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth under "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this Prospectus.

 

Our Business

Chartwell International, Inc. is a Nevada corporation formed in 1984 (the "Company"). Prior to the change in control on March 23, 2005, and the prior disposition of any remaining assets, liabilities and operations on March 3, 2005, the Company had limited operations and a significant amount of its assets had been written off. Because the Company disposed of all of its assets on March 3, 2005, for accounting purposes, the Company commenced operations as a development stage company on March 3, 2005. The Company currently pursues the waste disposal, transportation and logistics for solid waste disposal business, predominantly concentrating on solid waste from construction debris and general solid waste disposal in key sectors and regions of the United States. On September 8, 2005, the Company acquired E-Rail Logistics, Inc., a New York corporation with certain assets, properties and contract rights directed towards operations in solid waste transportation and removal. With increasing gas prices, increased waste, and limited waste disposal sites, as well as regulatory limitations in key metropolitan areas, the Company believes that it can attract and retain an experienced management team to take advantage of what the Company sees as a shift in current industry practices and modes of transportation, as well as the logistics for solid waste transportation and disposal, including site management. Accordingly, the Company is seeking to integrate rail transportation, including construction and service maintenance of rail containers, waste disposal, disposal site management, and the logistics of vertically integrating each aspect of waste collection, transportation and disposal.

On July 30, 2005, the Company completed a private placement of 7,349,667 shares of restricted common stock at a purchase price of $1.50 per share. As of October 31, 2005, the Company sold 6,611,281 shares of common stock with signed subscriptions for the remaining 738,386 shares to be issued, subject to a 5% limitation on ownership. Pursuant to the terms of the private placement, the Company agreed to register the shares issued.

Our principal executive offices are located at 1124 Smith Street, Suite 304, Charleston, WV 25301. Our telephone number is (304) 345-8700. Our website is www.chartwellinternational.com.

DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Except for statements of historical facts, this Prospectus contains forward-looking statements involving risks and uncertainties. You can identify these statements by forward-looking words including “believes,” “considers,” “intends,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “forecast,” or “anticipates,” or the equivalents of those words or comparable terminology, and by discussions of strategies that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of our future performance or results, and our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements. We wish to caution readers to consider the important factors, among others, that in some cases have affected and in the future could affect our actual results and could cause actual consolidated results for future fiscal years, to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company. These factors include without limitation, the ability to obtain capital and other financing in the amounts and times needed, identification and completion of suitable acquisition candidates and businesses in our intended industry focus and the realization of forecasted income and expenses by those businesses, initiatives by competitors, price pressures, changes in the political climate for waste disposal business in different municipalities, and other risk factors listed from time to time in the Company's SEC reports including in particular, the factors and discussions below under the heading "Risk Factors".

RISK FACTORS

The risks described below are the ones we believe are most important for you to consider, these risks are not the only ones that we face. If events anticipated by any of the following risks actually occur, our business, operating results or financial condition could suffer and the trading price of our common stock could decline.

Risks Related To Our Acquisition Strategy And Operations

Recent change of control and discontinued prior operations do not give a historical basis upon which to evaluate the Company's current efforts, and the change in strategic direction has certain inherent risks. The Company recently experienced a change of control and discontinued all prior activities. As of March 2005, the Company had no assets and no operations. In addition, the Company's periodic and current reports filed prior to March 2005 will contain information which will no longer be applicable or relevant to the current and future business operations of the Company.

The Company has changed its business focus and intends to acquire operations unrelated to past activities, and there are no assurances that management will be successful in acquiring a business or integrating the operations successfully, which would impair the value of the Company further. In connection with the recent change of control, the Company has shifted its focus towards the an acquisition. On September 8, 2005, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with E-Rail Logistics, Inc. ("E-Rail"), pursuant to which the Company acquired E-Rail, a development stage company. Although the acquisition of these assets is part of the strategic business plan of the Company, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in integrating the assets of E-Rail as part of the Company.

The Company faces challenges in attracting and retaining qualified management experienced in the transportation and disposal of solid waste. The success of the Company will depend largely on the Company's ability to hire and retain qualified individuals to operate the Company. Although we have entered into employment contracts with former management of E-Rail to utilize its assets following the acquisition, no assurance can be given that the Company will be able to retain such personnel as its own personnel or attract qualified individuals in the future to manage the Company. The failure of the Company to either retain or attract such personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and financial condition.

Integration of proposed acquisitions poses certain risks, and the Company does not currently have historical experience upon which to base an evaluation of the future prospects of success. The Company has only a limited operating history upon which to base an evaluation of its business and its prospects. There can be no assurance that the Company's recently assembled senior management team will be able to manage the Company successfully and implement the Company's operating and growth strategies effectively. The Company's effective integration of acquired businesses into its organization and operations is and will continue to be important to the Company's growth and future financial performance. A part of the Company's strategy is to achieve economies of scale and operating efficiencies by increasing its size through acquisitions. These goals may not be achieved even if the Company effectively combines the operations of acquired businesses with its existing operations due to factors beyond our control, such as market position or customer base. Because of the Company's limited operating history, there can be no assurance that its recently assembled senior management team will succeed in integrating the Company's future acquisitions. Any difficulties the Company encounters in the integration process could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Acceptable acquisition targets may not materialize. The Company expects that a substantial part of its future growth will come from acquiring solid waste collection, transfer, maintenance and loading facilities, and disposal operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to identify suitable acquisition candidates or, if such candidates are identified, to negotiate their acquisition at prices or on terms and conditions favorable to the Company. Additionally, we expect continued consolidation in the industry will reduce the number of qualified acquisition candidates. The Company's failure to implement its acquisition strategy successfully could limit its potential growth.

The Company may not be able to attract the required capital, through either debt or equity financings, in order to complete strategic acquisitions or make required purchases of capital equipment needed to conduct its operations efficiently, either of which could adversely effect the Company's financial condition and ability to execute on its business plan. The Company anticipates that any future business acquisitions will be financed through cash from potential operations, borrowings, the issuance of shares of the Company's common stock and/or seller financing. If acquisition candidates are unwilling to accept, or the Company is unwilling to issue, shares of the Company's common stock as part of the consideration for such acquisitions, the Company may be required to use more of its available cash resources or debt, to the extent it is available, to fund such acquisitions. To the extent that cash from potential operations and debt are insufficient to fund acquisitions, the Company will require additional equity and/or debt financing, the terms of which may be unfavorable or unavailable. Additionally, growth through the development or acquisition of new landfills, transfer stations and other facilities, as well as the ongoing maintenance of such landfills, transfer stations or other facilities, may require substantial capital expenditures. There can be no assurance that the Company will have sufficient existing capital resources or be able to raise sufficient additional capital resources on terms satisfactory to the Company to meet any or all of the foregoing capital requirements.

There may be undisclosed liabilities in the businesses that we acquire which we fail or are unable to discover which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and business conditions. As a successor owner to entities we acquire, we often assume prior liabilities incurred and there can be no assurances that these liabilities are properly disclosed to us. Even if we obtain legally enforceable representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities from the sellers of such businesses, we may not be successful in fully covering the liabilities. Certain environmental liabilities, even if we do not expressly assume them, may be imposed upon us under various regulatory schemes and legal theories, and as such may materially affect our ability to operate and grow our business.

Larger competitors may compete with the Company for acquisition targets, making it more difficult for the Company to acquire businesses that fit within its business strategy, or increasing the cost of making such acquisitions, either of which could negatively affect our performance. The Company competes for acquisition candidates with other entities, some of which have greater financial resources than the Company. Increased competition for acquisition candidates may result in fewer acquisition opportunities being available to the Company, as well as less attractive acquisition terms, including increased purchase prices. These circumstances may increase acquisition costs to levels that are beyond the Company's financial capability or pricing parameters or that may have an adverse effect on the Company's results of operations and financial condition. The ability to utilize the Company’s securities as consideration for potential acquisitions may depend in large part on the relative market price and capital appreciation prospects of the common stock compared to the equity securities of the Company's competitors. If the market price of the Company's common stock were to decline materially over a prolonged period of time, the Company's acquisition program could be materially adversely affected.

Risks Related to our Industry

Strategic growth through acquisitions is dependent on the Company's ability to internally grow its logistics infrastructure, and there is no historical perspective to validate the Company's belief that it can attain certain gross margins competitively, the failure of which would adversely affect its financial condition. The Company's growth strategy includes (i) expanding through acquisitions, and (ii) generating internal growth of its infrastructure and logistics capabilities. The Company's ability to execute its growth strategy will depend on a number of factors, including the success of existing and emerging competition, the availability of acquisition targets, the ability to maintain profit margins in the face of competitive pressures, the ability to continue to recruit, train and retain qualified employees, the strength of demand for the Company's services and the availability of capital to support its growth.

Rapid growth could create risks of over leverage or undercapitalization to meet obligations, which could materially impact the Company's financial condition and strategy. If the Company is able to execute its growth strategy, it may experience periods of rapid growth. Such growth, if it occurs, could place a significant strain on the Company's management, operational, financial and other resources. The Company's ability to maintain and manage its growth effectively will require it to expand its management information systems capabilities and its operational and financial systems and controls. Moreover, the Company will need to attract, train, motivate, retain and manage additional senior managers, technical professionals and other employees, as well as integrate accounting and reporting for disclosure controls and compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Any failure to expand the Company's operational and financial systems and controls or to recruit and integrate appropriate personnel at a pace consistent with the Company's revenue growth could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

The solid waste industry is highly competitive, and we will face competition from companies that may be better financed than we are, which could impact our ability to compete for customers and employees. The solid waste services industry is highly competitive and fragmented and requires substantial labor and capital resources. Certain of the markets in which the Company competes or will likely compete are served by one or more large, national solid waste companies, as well as by numerous regional and local solid waste companies of varying sizes and resources, some of which have accumulated substantial goodwill. The Company also competes with counties, municipalities and solid waste districts that maintain their own waste collection and disposal operations. These counties, municipalities and solid waste districts may have financial advantages over the Company, because of their access to user fees and similar charges, tax revenues and tax-exempt financing. Certain of the Company's competitors may also be better capitalized, have greater name recognition or be able to provide services at a lower cost than the Company. The Company's inability to compete with governmental service providers and larger and better capitalized companies could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

Solid waste disposal is regulated by the various governmental agencies, and changes in legislation or rules and regulations could have a material adverse effect on our operations. The waste management and rail-based transportation industries are subject to extensive and evolving environmental laws and regulations, the enforcement of which has become increasingly stringent in recent years as a result of greater public interest in protecting the environment. Although we do not anticipate or intend to transport or dispose of toxic waste or other hazardous materials, these laws and regulations may still impose substantial costs on the Company and affect the Company's business in other ways that could add unforeseen costs to operations.

The Company's inability to maintain landfill permits and licenses could adversely affect financial resources or require significant expenditures to comply with the regulations, either of

 

 

5

 



 

which could materially affect gross margins and cash flow from operations. If the Company implements its strategy for landfill ownership and operation, it will be necessary to obtain and maintain in effect one or more licenses or permits, as well as zoning, environmental and/or other land use approvals. These licenses or permits and approvals are difficult and time-consuming to obtain and renew and are frequently subject to opposition by various elected officials or citizens' groups, whose positions may change in the future in ways that may adversely effect continuing operations or materially affect the cost of operations. The design, operation and closure of landfills are extensively regulated. These regulations include, among others, the Subtitle D Regulations. Failure to comply with these regulations could require the Company to undertake investigatory or remedial activities, to curtail operations or to close a landfill temporarily or permanently. Future changes to these regulations may require the Company to modify, supplement or replace equipment or facilities at costs that may be substantial. The failure of regulatory agencies to enforce these regulations vigorously or consistently may give an advantage to competitors of the Company whose facilities do not comply with the Subtitle D Regulations or their state counterparts. The Company's financial obligations arising from any failure to comply with these regulations could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

Judicial and administrative proceedings related to our business are routine, and penalties, fines, or remediation orders could materially impact our cash flow or working capital from time-to-time, which could impair our business plan objectives. Companies in the solid waste services business are frequently subject in the normal course of business to judicial and administrative proceedings involving federal, state or local agencies or citizens' groups. Governmental agencies may seek to impose fines or penalties on the Company or to revoke or deny renewal of the Company's operating permits, franchises or licenses for violations or alleged violations of environmental laws or regulations or require the Company to make expenditures to remediate potential environmental problems relating to waste disposed of or stored by the Company or its predecessors, or resulting from its or its predecessors' transportation and collection operations. The Company may also be subject to actions brought by individuals or community groups in connection with the permitting, franchising or licensing of its operations, any alleged violation of such permits, franchises or licenses or other matters. Any adverse outcome in these proceedings could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations and may subject the Company to adverse publicity.

The Company may be subject to liability for any environmental damage that its solid waste facilities may cause, including damage to neighboring landowners or residents, particularly as a result of the contamination of soil, groundwater or surface water, and especially drinking water, which could materially impact our cash flow in any given period. The Company's potential liability includes damage resulting from conditions existing prior to the acquisition of such facilities by the Company. The Company may also be subject to liability for any off-site environmental contamination caused by pollutants or hazardous substances whose transportation, treatment or disposal was arranged by the Company or its predecessors. Any substantial liability for environmental damage incurred by the Company could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. Further, CERCLA imposes joint and several strict liability on the present owners and operators of facilities from which a release of hazardous substances into the environment has occurred, as well as any party that owned or operated the facility at the time of disposal of the hazardous substances, regardless of when the hazardous substance was first detected. CERCLA defines the term "hazardous substances" very broadly to include more than 700 substances that are specified under RCRA, have specific hazardous characteristics defined under RCRA or are regulated under any of several other statutes. Similar liability is imposed on the generators of waste that contains hazardous substances and on hazardous substance transporters that select the treatment, storage or disposal site. All such persons, who are referred to as potentially responsible parties ("PRPs"), generally are jointly and severally strictly liable for the expense of waste site investigation, waste site cleanup costs and natural resource damages, regardless of whether they exercised due care and complied with all relevant laws and regulations. These

 

 

6

 



 

costs can be very substantial. Furthermore, such liability can be based on the existence of even very small amounts of hazardous substances; unlike most of the other statutes that regulate hazardous substances, CERCLA does not require any minimum volume or concentration of a hazardous substance to be present before imposing liability. It is likely that hazardous substances have in the past come to be located in landfills with which the Company is or will become associated. If any of the Company's sites or operations ever experiences environmental problems, the Company could be subject to substantial liability, which could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our inability to obtain performance or surety bonds, letters of credit or insurance for municipal solid waste services contracts and landfill closure obligations may require other means of financial assurance to secure contractual performance, which could materially affect our potential cash flow and working capital. If the Company in the future were unable to obtain performance or surety bonds or letters of credit in sufficient amounts or at acceptable rates, it could be precluded from entering into additional municipal solid waste services contracts or obtaining or retaining landfill operating permits. Any future difficulty in obtaining insurance could also impair the Company's ability to secure future contracts conditioned on the contractor's having adequate insurance coverage. Accordingly, the failure of the Company to obtain performance or surety bonds, letters of credit or other means of financial assurance or to maintain adequate insurance coverage could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Relating To Our Company and the Market for Our Common Stock

Any future financings and subsequent registration of common stock for resale will result in a significant number of shares of common stock of the Company available for sale, and such sales could depress our common stock price. Further, no assurances can be given that the Company will not issue additional shares which will have the effect of diluting the equity interest of current stockholders. Moreover, sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and make it more difficult for us to sell shares of our common stock at times and prices that we determine to be appropriate.

There is a limited public market for our common stock, and there are no assurances that a market will fully develop or provide liquidity for investors when needed. There is a limited public market for our common stock, and trading prices of our common stock may be volatile. Our common stock is currently traded on the Nasdaq OTC Bulletin Board and trading volume has been low and sporadic. The Company can give no assurance that an active trading market for our common stock will develop, or if one develops, that trading will continue. Accordingly, investors in our common stock may not have immediate liquidity at any given time.

Our stock is governed by the "penny stock rules", which imposes additional requirements on broker-dealers who make transactions in our stock. SEC rules require a broker-dealer to provide certain information to purchasers of securities traded at less than $5.00, which are not traded on a national securities exchange or quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market. Since the Nasdaq OTC Bulletin Board is not considered an "exchange," if the trading price of the Company's common stock remains less than $5.00 per share, the Company's common stock will be considered a "penny stock," and trading in the Company's common stock will be subject to the requirements of Rules 15g-9015g-9 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Penny Stock Rules"). The Penny Stock Rules require a broker-dealer to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also give bid and offer quotations and broker and salesperson compensation information to the prospective investor orally or in writing before or with the confirmation of the transaction. In addition, the Penny Stock Rules require a broker-dealer to make a special written determination that the penny stock is a

 

 

7

 



 

suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction before a transaction in a penny stock. These requirements may severely limit the liquidity of securities in the secondary market because few broker-dealers may be likely to undertake these compliance activities. Therefore, unless an exemption is available from the Penny Stock Rules, the disclosure requirements under the Penny Stock Rules may have the effect of reducing trading activity in the Company's common stock, which may make it more difficult for investors to sell.

The Board of Directors may designate and authorize issuance of preferred shares which could have rights, preferences or privileges in priority to our common stock holders, and which may further dilute common stock holders. The authorized capital of the Company includes 25,000,000 shares of "blank check" Preferred Stock, of which no shares have been issued. The Board of Directors has the authority to issue shares of Preferred Stock and to determine the price, designation, rights, preferences, privileges, restrictions and conditions, including voting and dividend rights, of these shares of Preferred Stock without any further vote or action by the stockholders. The rights of the holders of Common Stock will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of holders of any Preferred Stock that may be issued in the future. The issuance of Preferred Stock, while providing desirable flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire a majority of the outstanding voting stock of the Company. At this time, the Company has no present plans to issue any additional Preferred Stock.

The Company has never paid any cash dividends on its common stock and may not pay cash dividends in the future. Instead, the Company intends to apply earnings, if any, to the expansion, development and growth of our business. Thus, the liquidity of your investment is dependent upon your ability to sell stock at an acceptable price. The price may go down as well as up and may limit your ability to realize any value from your investment, including the initial purchase price.

We have only a limited public market for our common stock, which has historically been subject to sporadic fluctuations and inherent stock price volatility. Prior to this filing, there has been a limited public market for the Company's common stock, and there can be no assurance that an active trading market will develop or be sustained in the future. The Company believes that period-to-period comparisons of its operating results should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance. Due to a variety of factors, including general economic conditions, government regulatory action, acquisitions, capital expenditures and other costs related to the expansion of operations and services, pricing changes and adverse weather conditions, it is possible that in some future quarter, the Company's operating results may be below the expectations of securities analysts and investors. In such event, the price of the Company's common stock would likely be materially adversely affected. The price of the Company's common stock may be highly volatile and is likely to be affected by the foregoing and other factors. In addition, the stock market has from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated to the operating performance of companies whose securities are publicly traded. These broad market fluctuations, however, may adversely affect the market price of the publicly traded securities of such companies, including the Company's common stock. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company's securities, securities class action litigation has often been commenced against such company. There can be no assurance that such litigation will not occur in the future with respect to the Company. Litigation could result in substantial costs and divert management's attention and resources, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. Any adverse determination in any such litigation could also subject the Company to significant liabilities.

Someone may claim that the Company's disposition of its assets, liabilities and operations to Kingsley Capital and the subsequent distribution of Kingsley Capital common stock to the Chartwell International, Inc. stockholders may have violated Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933. The distribution of the shares of Kingsley Capital common stock to the stockholders of Chartwell

 

 

8

 



 

International, Inc., as disclosed in the Form 8-K for the Event Date March 3, 2005, was not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act"). Because the distribution was not registered, the Company may have violated Section 5 of the Securities Act. If it is subsequently determined that the shares of Kingsley Capital should have been registered under the Securities Act and the Company may be deemed to have violated Section 5 of the Securities Act, the Company could be subject to an injunction, fines, or both. Although prior management has taken the position that there was no consideration paid for the shares, which were distributed on a pro-rata basis, someone could take a different position or pursue an action with respect to the transaction. We do not believe that such action is likely, or that such action if pursued would have a material affect on our business or operations.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Prospectus. Forward-looking statements are statements not based on historical information and which relate to future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments. Forward-looking statements are based upon estimates, forecasts, and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control and many of which, with respect to future business decisions, are subject to change. These uncertainties and contingencies can affect actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us, or on our behalf. We disclaim any obligation to update forward-looking statements.

The discussion and financial statements contained herein are from our inception of March 3, 2005 to our fiscal year ended July 31, 2005, and for the quarter ended October 31, 2005. The following discussion regarding the financial statements of the Company should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company included herewith.

Financial Condition as of October 31, 2005.

 

Effective January 31, 2005, the Company transferred all of its assets, liabilities and operations to Kingsley, its wholly owned subsidiary at that time, and issued a promissory note to Kingsley for $200,000. On March 3, 2005, the Company completed a spin-off of Kingsley by distribution of Kingsley common stock as a dividend to Chartwell shareholders on a pro-rata basis. As such, our inception of operations as a development stage company commenced on March 3, 2005.

 

The Company reported total current assets of $6,093,993 at October 31, 2005 consisting of cash of $4,413,773, a note receivable of $600,188, a deposit for the purchase of retrofitted railcars totaling $1,040,000 and other assets totaling $40,032. Total current liabilities reported of $1,181,331 consisted of: 1) trade payables and amounts due to related parties primarily for legal services, the purchase of equipment and general administrative expenses paid by them, and 2) current maturities on long-term obligations assumed in the acquisition of its subsidiaries. The Company had working capital of $4,912,662 at October 31, 2005.

 

The Company reported property and equipment, land, mineral rights and an option on mineral rights totaling $10,588,436, and long term obligations totaling $1,373,432 primarily resulting from the acquisition of its subsidiaries.

 

Stockholders' Equity increased from $9,059,027 at July 31, 2005 to $14,127,666. This increase is primarily due to: 1) common stock issued for services and compensation totaling approximately $705,000, 2) 100,000 shares of common stock issued for cash of $501,000, 3) 300,000 shares issued in partial payment of the note receivable of approximately $325,000, and 4) 3,100,000 shares of common stock issued totaling $4,650,000 in connection with the acquisition of the Company’s subsidiaries. These increases were partially off-set by net losses of approximately $1,112,000.

 

The Company is currently a development stage company seeking to initiate operations in the solid waste transportation and disposal industry, principally through acquisitions. With increasing gas prices,

 

 

10

 



 

increased waste, and limited waste disposal sites, as well as regulatory limitations in key metropolitan areas, the Company believes that it can attract and retain an experienced management team to take advantage of what the Company sees as a shift in current industry practices and modes of transportation, as well as the logistics for solid waste transportation and disposal, including site management. Accordingly, the Company is seeking to integrate rail transportation, including construction and service maintenance of rail containers, waste disposal, disposal site management, and the logistics of vertically integrating each aspect of waste disposal. Currently, the Company is in discussions with other companies in this industry, but has no existing business in the waste industry to date.

 

Plan of Operation

 

Background

 

The Company was formed in 1984 and until early 2005 its principal activity consisted of the oversight of its investments, principally in College Partnership, Inc. On January 31, 2005, the Company transferred all of its assets and liabilities to its then wholly owned subsidiary, Kingsley Capital, Inc. and subsequently transferred all of its Kingsley stock to the Company’s then existing shareholders as a dividend effective March 3, 2005 effecting a spin-off of Kingsley Capital. On March 23, 2005, the Company issued 25,838,433 pre-split shares of its common stock to Imre Eszenyi in a private transaction for $200,000, which proceeds were used to pay off the promissory note issued previously to Kingsley Capital.

 

Since March 3, 2005 and following the discontinuation of its former operations and business, the Company changed its focus and strategic direction and pursued operations as a development stage company in the solid waste transportation, logistics, management and disposal industry. Most of the Company’s activities during the period from March 3, 2005 to October 31, 2005 were dedicated to seeking acquisition targets with viable on-going operations, or acquisition of assets, properties and access rights that would allow the Company to begin operations.

 

On September 8, 2005, the Company acquired E-Rail Logistics, Inc., a development stage company with assets and minimal operations in the solid waste disposal industry. Because E-Rail was not deemed a business, the acquisition was treated as an acquisition of assets. The acquisition included E-Rail Logistics’ wholly-owned subsidiary, Belville Mining Company, Inc. based in Ohio which has significant interests and rights to over 8,000 acres of land and minerals in Ohio, a portion of which we intend to permit for the Company’s landfill operations. The property contains clay and other minerals that are also required for the operation of landfills. The Company is only beginning the permitting process, and cannot estimate when operational use of the property will begin at this time. In addition to permits, the site will require some infrastructure improvements, which the Company is evaluating.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

As of October 31, 2005, the Company has cash and cash equivalents of $4,413,773. The Company anticipates a substantial portion shall be used as working capital and to execute the Company’s acquisition strategy and business plan. As such, the Company further anticipates it will have to raise additional capital through asset based lines of credit or additional debt or equity financings to fund operations and acquisitions during the next 6 to 12 months.

 

Even though the Company intends to obtain all the necessary permits to operate a landfill on its recently acquired Ohio properties, there are no guarantees that it will be successful. If the Company is not successful, that may have a material adverse effect on how soon the Company will be able to generate revenue and cash flow from on-going operations. Any such shortfall in projected revenues may cause the

 

 

11

 



 

Company to seek additional financing at an earlier date. There are no assurances that such financing will be available, or be available on terms acceptable to the Company.

 

Development

 

The Company plans to apply for all necessary permits to operate a landfill on certain of its Ohio properties. This application process could take up to one year for approval. While the Company intends to aggressively pursue its application, there are no guarantees it will be successful.

 

Our wholly owned subsidiary, E-Rail Logistics, entered into several agreements with established landfills in order to process and dispose of waste we intend to transport, and we will pursue additional access for disposal pending final permits to operate our own landfill. The Company also intends to build further relationships with other landfill operators, and potentially acquire additional existing landfill operations in order to serve its future customers.

 

In addition to its disposal operations, the Company has purchased rail cars and containers, and through our wholly owned subsidiary, E-Rail Logistics, we have agreements with intermodal and maintenance facilities to support our operations. The Company anticipates it will continue to enter into similar arrangements to increase the volume of waste it can transport and process in order to maximize volume in an effort to achieve economies of scale.

 

The Company’s ability to generate revenue from on-going operations depend significantly on being able to develop properties it owns, and properties it may lease. Development of the property and infrastructure for disposal operations will require significant capital expenditures, and effective execution on these developments, and corresponding development of customers with volume, will be essential to our success. Delays in permitting owned or leased properties, delays in infrastructure development, or delays in our ability to create a customer base with volumes needed will significantly impact our working capital and intermediate financing needs.

 

Quarterly Results of Operations

 

The Company reported net losses for the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2005 of $1,112,408 that included approximately two months of operations of its subsidiaries. General and administrative expenses consisted of: 1) rents, utilities and office expenses of approximately $31,000, 2) salaries and employee expenses of approximately $110,000, 3) professional fees of approximately $900,000, 4) travel expenses of approximately $23,000, and 5) depreciation expense of approximately $3,000. Professional fees includes approximately $705,000 from the issuance of 407,225 shares of common stock in the aggregate to board members for their service on the board, and to advisors in connection with introduction in raising capital and advice on the acquisition of the Company’s subsidiaries. The Company also reported net interest expense of approximately $46,000.

 

Annual Results of Operations

Net losses for the period from March 3, 2005 to fiscal year ended July 31, 2005 were $973,119 that consisted of: 1) four months of general and administrative expenses totaling approximately $159,000, and 2) finance placement fees of approximately $836,000 for assistance in the sale of the Company’s common stock to raise capital, partially off-set by interest income of approximately $22,000 from the proceeds of the stock sales. Effective July 11, 2005, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Railway and Industrial Services, Inc. for the purchase of 95 retrofitted railcars for a purchase price of $4,085,000. The agreement called for the Company to pay an initial deposit of $1,425,000 and an additional $28,000 per railcar that is accepted and delivered, as defined. The parties

 

 

12

 



 

also entered into a Purchase Money Security Agreement effective July 11, 2005 granting the Company a security interest in the 95 railcars until such railcars are accepted and delivered. The total deposit will be allocated and correspondingly reduced at the rate of $15,000 per railcar delivered. As of July 31, 2005, the Company had no other capital commitments, and has no off balance sheet items.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company reported cash flow from operations of approximately $238,000 consisting primarily of common stock issued for services of approximately $705,000, the application of $390,000 of prepaid deposits to 26 railcars delivered and accepted, and an increase of approximately $283,000 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, partially offset by an increase in other assets of approximately $31,000 and net losses of approximately $1,112,000.

 

Cash used in investing activities consisted of the purchase of property and equipment of approximately $1,429,000, primarily railcars and related equipment, and net cash paid for the acquisition of the Company’s subsidiaries totaling approximately $2,262,000.

 

Cash from financing activities consisted of proceeds from the issuance of common stock of approximately $501,000, partially offset by $275,000 of cash paid for the purchase of a note receivable and principal payments on long term debt of approximately $45,000.

 

The Company completed the following related party transactions at and for the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2005:              

 

The Company issued 155,000 shares valued at $232,500 to a company controlled by an officer and director of the Company in connection with the acquisition of E-Rail Logistics and Belville Mining Company. At October 31, 2005, the Company owed $16,276 in cash and is obligated to issue 10,850 shares of common stock valued at $16,276 to this same company for financing placement fees.

 

The Company paid $95,767 in cash for legal services to a law firm, during the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2005, of which an officer and director of the Company is a shareholder. In addition, the Company reported $104,208 due to this same firm for legal services at October 31, 2005.

 

The Company purchased equipment totaling $51,000 during the quarter ended October 31, 2005 from an entity controlled by an officer of one of the Company’s subsidiaries. The Company also acquired software and assumed the corresponding lease of $27,256 from this same entity.

 

Prior to the acquisition of E-Rail Logistics, E-Rail Logistics purchased 220 open top containers for $550,000 consisting of $130,000 cash and a finance obligation of $420,000 to The Corona Group. The proprietor of The Corona Group is an employee of a company controlled by an officer of one of the Company’s subsidiaries and such proprietor is a shareholder of the Company. The Company assumed the remaining finance obligation totaling $369,395 in connection with the acquisition of E-Rail Logistics.

 

Management of the Company is of the opinion that the terms and conditions of the foregoing transactions were no less favorable for the Company than could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties.

 

As a development stage company, there are currently limited operations, principally directed at structuring acquisitions and initiating operations in the solid waste transportation, processing and disposal industry.

 

 

 

13

 



 

 

Management believes that it will be able to generate sufficient revenue or raise sufficient amounts of working capital through debt or equity offerings, as may be required to meet the Company's short-term and long-term obligations. In order to execute on our business strategy, we will require additional working capital, commensurate with the operational needs of the target companies we may pursue. Such working capital will most likely be obtained through equity financings until such time as acquired operations are integrated and producing revenue in excess of operating expenses. There are no assurances that we will be able to raise the required working capital on terms favorable, or that such working capital will be available on any terms when needed.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

 

There are no off balance sheet items, and all transactions are in U.S. dollars, and we are not subject to currency fluctuations or similar market risks.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Overview of Business

Chartwell International, Inc. is a Nevada corporation formed in 1984 (the "Company"). Prior to the change in control on March 23, 2005, and the disposition of any remaining assets, liabilities and operations on March 3, 2005, the Company had limited operations and a significant amount of its assets had been written off. The Company currently pursues the waste disposal, transportation and logistics for solid waste disposal business, predominantly concentrating on solid waste from construction debris and general solid waste disposal in key sectors and regions of the United States. On September 8, 2005, the Company acquired E-Rail Logistics, Inc. ("E-Rail"), a New York corporation with certain assets, properties and contract rights directed towards operations in solid waste transportation and removal. With increasing gas prices, increased waste, and limited waste disposal sites, as well as regulatory limitations in key metropolitan areas, the Company believes that it can attract and retain an experienced management team to take advantage of what the Company sees as a shift in current industry practices and modes of transportation, as well as the logistics for solid waste transportation and disposal, including site management. Accordingly, the Company is seeking to integrate rail transportation, including construction and service maintenance of rail containers, waste disposal, disposal site management, and the logistics of vertically integrating each aspect of waste collection, transportation and disposal. See "Subsequent Event" below and Note 8 to Financial Statements.

Because the Company disposed of all of its assets on March 3, 2005, for accounting purposes, the Company commenced operations as a development stage company on March 3, 2005.

Dividend and Change of Control

On March 18, 2005, the Company issued all the shares of Kingsley Capital, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company to the Company's stockholders as a dividend, and transferred certain of its assets and liabilities to Kingsley Capital prior to the dividend, effecting a spin-off of Kingsley Capital as a private corporation (the "Spin-Off"). In consideration for assuming the liabilities of the Company, the Company issued a note payable for $200,000 to Kingsley Capital.

On March 23, 2005, in two separate but concurrent transactions, Mr. Imre Eszenyi acquired 45,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock in the aggregate pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement and Subscription Agreement. In the transaction pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, Mr. Eszenyi purchased from controlling affiliates of the Company 19,161,567 shares of the Company's common stock for $250,000. In addition, pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, Mr. Eszenyi purchased from the Company 25,838,433 shares of the Company's common stock for $200,000. The $200,000 was

 

 

14

 



 

used to payoff the note payable granted by the Company to Kingsley Capital, Inc. as a result of the Spin-Off. On June 27, 2005, the Company effected a 1 for 10 revenue stock split.

Following the distribution and change in control, the Company filed a new Form 10-SB and began reporting with the Securities and Exchange Commission under a new SEC filer number.

Our Industry

There persists an ongoing trend towards consolidation in the solid waste industry that began during the 1990's that appears to be more economically and geographically focused. One of the primary factors influencing consolidation is increased regulations which caused operating and capital costs to increase significantly. This has resulted in smaller operators being forced out of the industry either through shutting down operations or being acquired by larger, better capitalized companies. In addition, following the amendments to Subtitle D of the regulations of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, industry participants faced more stringent standards for engineering solid waste landfills, requirements for liner systems, leachate collection, treatment and monitoring systems, and gas collection.

In certain markets, competitive pressures are also forcing operators to become more efficient by establishing an integrated network of solid waste collection operations and transfer stations, through which they can secure solid waste streams for disposal. Strategies include owning landfills, establishing strategic relationships to secure access to landfills, and negotiating lower fees by securing long-term contracts with higher volumes. In other markets, competitors control regions through franchises and municipal contracts that are often sole sourced.

With increased regulatory scrutiny and associated costs, smaller landfill and collection operators in certain regional markets will continue to have little alternative but to consolidate or be acquired. These smaller operators lack the capital resources, management skills and technical expertise required to comply with the stringent regulations and to compete with larger, more efficient and better capitalized, integrated operators. In the Northeast, local disposal operators have been closed or are at capacity. These local disposal facilities have been replaced by large regional landfills in Western Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan and West Virginia. As a result, generators and disposers have to haul waste hundreds of miles at considerable costs given the high price of fuel, labor, insurance and shortage of equipment. These elevated costs for road-based hauling have made rail-based waste disposal more economical and efficient.

Our Strategy

We are currently in the development stages with plans to become a leading vertically integrated provider of solid waste disposal services, through acquiring landfills, disposal sites, intermodal facilities for rail haul, loading and off loading facilities for waste, railcar maintenance companies, focusing on collection, transportation and disposal of solid waste. With our first acquisition of a company in this industry, E-Rail, our primary focus is on the Northeast market. We believe this initial focus on such a densely populated region which generates a large volume of solid waste will provide us a competitive advantage over our larger, more fragmented and less nimble competitors in that region. In acquiring additional companies and assets, we will target those necessary to enhance our ability to operate as an integrated provider and ensure compliance with existing environmental laws.

We plan to target hundreds of haulers and generators who will benefit substantially from outsourcing some or all of their transportation, logistical and disposal needs, and municipalities, transfer stations, demolition companies, trucking companies and waste brokers. By offering integrated services, customers will have a full complement of services from which to choose. To assist in our bidding for municipal and other private and public contracts and in evaluating acquisition targets, we have begun to

 

 

15

 



 

compile a management team with many years of experience in and knowledge of the solid waste and railcar transportation industries.

Based on public reports, we believe that only 5% of the massive waste market is currently served by rail transportation. Part of the reason has been a shortage of railcars and related equipment necessary for use in the waste industry. We plan to service that need by providing railcars, containers, maintenance, loading and offloading facilities. In order to achieve that, our management team will design and procure the necessary equipment. On July 11, 2005, we contracted to purchase 95 retrofitted railcars for a purchase price of $4,085,000 in furtherance of our strategic plan and operations, and subsequent to our fiscal year end we acquired 52 intermodal containers suitable for solid waste bringing our total number of containers owned to 272.

Several of the main factors we plan to compete on are price, capacity, geography, collection, transfer and disposal volume. Our success in executing on our business plan will depend on our ability to maximize utilization of our containers and rail access rights. We believe we can achieve competitive pricing by consolidating collections over a vast region because of our focus on utilizing rail transport. By collecting, transporting and disposing of large volumes of solid waste, we believe we can create economies of scale and thus cost-savings that we can pass through to our customers. At the current time, there is a shortage of waste disposal sites in the Northeast resulting in haulers and generators having to transport their waste to other states and other nearby accessible regions. With the increasing costs of fuel and the distance needed to travel, companies able to most efficiently and cost effectively collect and transport the waste have a competitive advantage.

Services

With our initial acquisition of E-Rail, we plan to serve the Northeast market by targeting generators and haulers of solid waste for residential, commercial, industrial and municipal entities. Our services will include landfill disposal, transfer station, intermodal, railcar transportation and equipment maintenance.

We plan to own or lease permitted landfill disposal facilities in the Northeast and Mid-West to process solid waste transported via rail from the Northeast. Our fees will be based on the volume and type of waste that is processed. While we will work diligently to obtain all necessary permits to operate a waste disposal landfill, there are no assurances that we will be successful and any such shortcoming could have a material adverse effect on our operations and the value of assets acquired.

We plan to enter into contracts and/or acquire, develop, own and operate transfer stations in markets close to our collection operations. Transfer stations enable us to extend our direct-haul reach and link collection operations with disposal facilities that we own, operate or lease. As a result, we would be able to increase the volume of waste transported to any given facility, leading to greater efficiencies, economies of scale and competitive pricing.

Competition

The solid waste services industry is highly competitive and with recent consolidation in the industry, several large companies have emerged as the leaders, including Allied Waste Industries, Inc., Republic Services, Inc., Waste Connections, Inc. and Waste Management, Inc. On a regional basis, there are several publicly-held and privately-owned companies and thousands of small operators. In addition, we compete directly with companies that transport waste via truck, barge, water, roads, and any other method of transportation outside of rail, alternative disposal facilities like incinerators, and municipalities, districts and counties that have their own waste disposal sites and transportation network.

 

 

 

16

 



 

 

The solid waste industry has and continues to experience consolidation. We will have to compete with both small and large companies when seeking to vertically integrate and acquire quality companies in the industry. Our competitors have to be aggressive in cost reduction and therefore vertical acquisitions and attaining more capacity remains a high priority, and in most instances, greater access to financing and capital is a significant advantage. Many of our established competitors will be better financed, and as such it may become uneconomical for us to make further acquisitions or to locate suitable and valued acquisition targets.

Regulatory Issues

The solid waste industry, including landfills, waste transportation, transfer stations, vehicle maintenance facilities, loading and unloading facilities and fueling facilities are subject to extensive regulatory control at the federal, state and county levels.

The Clean Air Act, generally through state implementation of federal requirements, regulates emissions of air pollutants from landfills and disposal sites based on factors such as the date of the landfill construction and tons per year of emissions of regulated pollutants. State regulators may impose more stringent requirements than those provided by federal regulations. Air permits and operating permits may be required, depending on potential air emissions.

The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, or CERCLA established a regulatory program to investigate and clean up facilities where or from which a release of any hazardous substance into the environment has occurred or is threatened. CERCLA may enforce its regulatory and remedial program by imposing strict joint and several liability on any entity held responsible for violations. Various states also impose strict joint and several liability for investigation, cleanup and other damages associated with hazardous substance releases.

The Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972, or the Clean Water Act regulates the discharge of pollutants from a variety of sources, including solid waste disposal sites and transfer stations, into the waters of the United States. Any violations of the Clean Water Act would require applying for and obtaining a discharge permit, conducting sampling and monitoring, and under certain circumstances, to reduce the level of pollutants.

The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, or the RCRA regulates the generation, treatment, storage, handling, transportation and disposal of solid waste and requires states to enact programs to ensure the safe handling and disposal of solid waste. Waste classified as hazardous are subject to much more stringent regulations than waste classified as non-hazardous. RCRA requires registration, compliance, reporting and corrective action, amongst others. In 1991, the Environmental Protection Agency adopted the Subtitle D Regulations governing solid waste landfills. These include location restrictions, facility design standards, operating criteria, closure and post-closure requirements, financial assurance requirements, groundwater monitoring requirements, groundwater remediation standards and corrective action requirements. Each state is responsible for enacting regulations and standards promulgated by the EPA , which may be more stringent than that required under the Subtitle D Regulations.

Subsequent Event

On September 8, 2005, the Company completed an acquisition of E-Rail Logistics, Inc., a New York corporation ("E-Rail"), a development stage company focusing on operations in the solid waste disposal industry, and E-Rail's wholly-owned subsidiary, Belville Mining Company, Inc., an Ohio corporation, that owns certain land and mineral rights in Southern Ohio. Through this initial acquisition, the Company plans to transport solid waste, initially from the Northeast region of the United States and

 

 

17

 



 

process and dispose of it in Company owned or leased permitted landfills. While the Company views the acquisition of E-Rail as key in the execution of its business plan, there are inherent risks in any acquisition, especially since E-Rail is a development stage company with limited operations and revenues at this present time. The Company determined that it did not acquire productive assets or a business and the acquisition was treated as an asset acquisition.

Customers

As of July 31, 2005, the Company had no customers but with the recent acquisition of E-Rail, and certain properties, equipment, and rail access rights we anticipate generating customers in the near future.

Employees

The Company currently has five full time employees. The Company also utilizes temporary employees throughout the year to address business needs and significant fluctuations in administrative needs for accounting, reports and disclosure. None of our employees is represented by a collective bargaining agreement, nor have we experienced any work stoppage. Following our year end, with the acquisition of E-Rail, the Company entered into employment agreements with 3 key executives of E-Rail. We do not expect any significant disruption in our business in 2005-06 as a result of labor negotiations, employee strikes or organizational efforts. We are actively seeking a Chief Financial Officer with industry and public company reporting experience, and we hope to fill that position in the next few months.

Legal Proceedings

To the best knowledge of management, there are no legal proceedings pending against the Company. In the normal course of operations, the Company may have disagreements or disputes with employees, vendors or customers. These disputes are seen by the Company's management as a normal part of business, and there are no pending actions currently or no threatened actions that management believes would have a significant material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

The Company currently uses office space of a business located at 1124 Smith Street, Suite 304, Charleston, W.V. 25301. The office building is owned by a relative of our Chairman and Vice President, Mr. Imre Eszenyi, and the Company does not currently pay rent for the use of the space or administrative personnel located there. We anticipate acquiring office leases for general operations and administrative functions in the future, as we execute on our business plan.

Compensation of Directors

Our directors do not receive any cash compensation, but are entitled to reimbursement of their reasonable expenses incurred in attending directors' meetings. As the Company seeks to identify and retain additional independent directors, compensation in the form of stock or cash, or a combination of both, will be established. On September 14, 2005, the Company awarded 75,000 shares of restricted common stock to all 4 of its directors for services rendered during the prior fiscal year. The shares are subject to 2 year vesting with respect to all the directors except for Ms. Janice Jones, whose shares vested immediately. We are actively seeking at least three independent board members who have relevant industry experience and financial expertise. We anticipate having a majority of outside independent directors.

Employment Agreements

We did not have any employment agreements during the fiscal year ending July 31, 2005.

Subsequent to fiscal year end, and pursuant to our acquisition of E-Rail, our wholly-owned subsidiary, E-Rail, entered into employment agreements with Andrew Kaufman, Richard Kessler and Christopher Davino (collectively the "Executives"). The Executives are each paid an annual salary of $180,000 subject to an increase to $240,000 based on achieving certain revenue milestones. The Executives are entitled to participate in the Company's cash management incentive bonus and equity incentive plans upon formation and approval by the Board of Directors of the Company, provided, however, cash bonuses shall not exceed 100% of each Executive's base salary then in effect. The employment agreement may be terminated prior to the expiration of the agreement upon the mutual agreement of the Company and each Executive, respectively. In the event an Executive is terminated without cause, such Executive will be paid an amount equal to his base salary then in effect for the remaining term of the agreement. In the event of the death or disability of an Executive, such Executive and/or his estate will be paid an amount equal to 6 months salary.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

We currently use administrative personnel and have office space at 1124 Smith Street, Suite 304, in Charleston, West Virginia, which is the business address of the Company's Chairman and Vice President, Mr. Imre Eszenyi's father-in-law. We do not pay rent or other expenses associated with our use of the space at this time, and we do not contemplate entering into any long-term arrangement for the use of such space.

During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2005, and until the date of this Prospectus, Mr. Eszenyi, our Chairman, paid certain operating expenses such as audit fees, business license fees, and transfer agent fees from his personal funds. These expenses were reimbursed by the Company pursuant to the Company's policies on business expenses. Although the amounts paid in the aggregate are significantly less than $60,000, the Board of Directors reviewed and evaluated the personal undertakings and approved of the payments on the Company's behalf.

On July 30, 2005, the Company paid $418,245 in cash and issued 278,830 shares of common stock valued at $418,245 to Orchestra Finance, LLP ("Orchestra") for financing placement fees. On September 14, 2005, the Company issued 155,000 shares of common stock valued at $232,500 to

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The Selling Stockholders, which as used herein includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock received after the date of this Prospectus from a Selling Stockholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other transfer, may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.

The Selling Stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of shares or interests therein:

 

-

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

 

-

block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

-

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

 

-

an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

 

 

 

26

 



 

 

 

-

privately negotiated transactions;

 

-

short sales effected after the date the registration statement of which this Prospectus is a part is declared effective by the SEC;

 

-

through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

 

-

broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; and

 

-

a combination of any such methods of sale.

 

The Selling Stockholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock, from time to time, under this Prospectus, or under an amendment to this Prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of Selling Stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as Selling Stockholders under this Prospectus. The Selling Stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this Prospectus.

In connection with the sale of our common stock or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares of our common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this Prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this Prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The aggregate proceeds to the Selling Stockholders from the sale of the common stock offered by them will be the purchase price of the common stock less discounts or commissions, if any. Each of the Selling Stockholders reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering.

The Selling Stockholders also may resell all or a portion of the shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule.

The Selling Stockholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the common stock or interests therein may be "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of the shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Selling stockholders who are "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act will be subject to the Prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

CHARTWELL INTERNATIONAL, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1. UNAUDITED, INTERIM INFORMATION:

 

Chartwell International, Inc. ("Chartwell" or the "Company") is a Nevada corporation formed in 1984. The Company’s principal activity had consisted of oversight of its investments, principally in College Partnership, Inc. Effective January 31, 2005, the Company transferred all of its assets and liabilities to its then wholly owned subsidiary, Kingsley Capital, Inc. ("Kingsley") and subsequently transferred all of its Kingsley stock to Chartwell shareholders on a pro-rata basis as a dividend effective March 3, 2005. Chartwell then ceased all of its former operations and began operations as a newly formed development stage entity effective March 3, 2005.

 

On September 8, 2005, the Company acquired E-Rail Logistics, Inc., a development stage company with assets and minimal operations in the solid waste disposal industry. Because E-Rail was not deemed a business, the acquisition was treated as an acquisition of assets. The acquisition included E-Rail Logistics’ wholly-owned subsidiary, Belville Mining Company, Inc. based in Ohio which has significant interests and rights to over 8,000 acres of land and minerals in Ohio, a portion of which we intend to permit for the Company’s landfill operations. The property contains clay and other minerals that are also required for the operation of landfills. The Company is only beginning the permitting process, and cannot estimate when operational use of the property will begin at this time. In addition to permits, the site will require some infrastructure improvements, which the Company is evaluating.

 

Chartwell International, Inc. and its subsidiaries prepare and report financial results using a fiscal year ending July 31. This Form 10-QSB includes the consolidated financial statements of the Company and include all normal recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations, financial position, and cash flows as of the dates and for the periods presented. The Company has begun limited operations and as such its operating results for the three months ended October 31, 2005 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2006.

 

The Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's July 31, 2005 annual report on Form 10-KSB/A-1 should be read in conjunction with these consolidated financial statements.

 

NOTE 2.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Chartwell International, Inc. and approximately two months of operations of its wholly owned subsidiaries E-Rail Logistics, Inc. and Belville Mining Company, Inc. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

NOTE 3. ACQUISITION OF E-RAIL LOGISTICS, INC.

 

On September 8, 2005, the Company acquired E-Rail Logistics, Inc., a development stage company with assets and minimal operations in the solid waste disposal industry. The acquisition included E-Rail Logistics’ wholly-owned subsidiary, Belville Mining Company, Inc. based in Ohio which has significant interests and rights to over 8,000 acres of land and minerals in Ohio, a portion of which we intend to permit for the Company’s landfill operations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’

 

Pursuant to SEC Regulation S-X Rule 3-05 and 11-01 and ETIF 98-3: Determining Whether a Nonmonetary Transaction Involves Receipt of Productive Assets or of a Business, the Company determined that the acquisition did not constitute a business combination. E-Rail Logistics, Inc. lacked almost all the significant elements to constitute a "business" at the time of the acquisition, was in the development stage and had not commenced planned principal operations. As such, the transaction is treated as an acquisition of assets.

 

The purchase price included:

Determination of the purchase price of the acquisition and corresponding allocation of the purchase price to the net assets included the following:

 

Fair value of the Company’s common stock issued was determined by the Board of Directors of the Company based on market conditions, including an independent assessment by a reputable firm specializing in such matters.

 

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities assumed were recorded at the carrying value at the date of the acquisition which management believes reflected the fair value.

 

Promissory notes assumed in the acquisition were valued at the present value of the minimum payments required to be paid under the notes at 11% which management believes fairly reflects the Company’s current accessible borrowing rate based on recent proposals for debt financing.

 

Cash, current assets, and property and equipment were recorded at the carrying value at the date of the acquisition which management believes reflected the fair value.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’

 

Management believes that at the date of the acquisition the book value of the land, mineral rights and mineral rights under option as reported by the acquired company does not reflect fair value. To establish fair value, the Company received an independent appraisal of the land and a portion of the mineral rights owned prior to the close of the transaction. Additionally, the Company conducted a reserve analysis and obtained a lease proposal to mine the minerals under option. Management determined the fair value of the land, mineral rights and mineral rights under option based on the appraisal, analysis and proposal, and allocated the excess purchase price to the land, mineral rights and mineral rights under option on a pro-rata basis.

 

Following an analysis of other contracts and rights acquired, management determined that there was no additional value that should be allocated from the excess purchase price to those other contracts and rights.

 

NOTE 4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Prior to the acquisition of E-Rail Logistics, E-Rail Logistics purchased 220 open top containers for $550,000 consisting of $130,000 cash and a finance obligation of $420,000 to The Corona Group. The proprietor of The Corona Group is an employee of a company controlled by an officer of one of the Company’s subsidiaries and such proprietor is a shareholder of the Company. The Company assumed the remaining finance obligation totaling $369,395 in connection with the acquisition of E-Rail Logistics.

 

Management of the Company is of the opinion that the terms and conditions of the foregoing transactions were no less favorable for the Company than could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties.

 

The Company also reimburses officers and directors for approved business expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business and in accordance with the Company’s expense reimbursement policy.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

Board of Directors

Chartwell International, Inc.

Lakewood, Colorado

 

I have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Chartwell International, Inc. as of July 31, 2005 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the period from March 3, 2005 (inception) through July 31, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit.

 

I conducted my audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that I 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. I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion.

 

In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Chartwell International, Inc. as of July 31, 2005 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from March 3, 2005 (inception) through July 31, 2005 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company’s assets, liabilities and former operations were transferred to another corporation on March 3, 2005. These financial statements are presented with the Company commencing new operations on March 3, 2005.

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION, OPERATIONS, AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

 

Chartwell International, Inc. ("Chartwell" or the "Company") is a Nevada corporation formed in 1984. The Company’s principal activity had consisted of oversight of its investments, principally in College Partnership, Inc. Effective January 31, 2005, the Company transferred all of its assets and liabilities to its then wholly owned subsidiary, Kingsley Capital, Inc. ("Kingsley") and subsequently transferred all of its Kingsley stock to Chartwell shareholders on a pro-rata basis as a dividend effective March 3, 2005. Chartwell then ceased all of its former operations and began operations as a newly formed development stage entity effective March 3, 2005.

 

The Company now seeks to pursue the waste disposal, transportation and logistics for solid waste disposal business, predominantly concentrating on solid waste from construction debris and general solid waste disposal in key sectors and regions of the United States, initially in the northeast. With increasing gas prices, increased waste, and limited waste disposal sites, as well as regulatory limitations in key metropolitan areas, the Company believes that it can attract and retain an experienced management team to take advantage of what the Company sees as a shift in current industry practices and modes of transportation, as well as the logistics for solid waste transportation and disposal, including site management. Accordingly, the Company is seeking to integrate rail transportation, including construction and service maintenance of rail containers, waste disposal, disposal site management, and the logistics of vertically integrating each aspect of waste disposal. After its year end, the Company acquired E-Rail Logistics, Inc., a company with operations in solid waste transportation and removal as further discussed below.

 

Chartwell International, Inc. prepares and reports financial results using a fiscal year ending July 31.

 

Development Stage Company - The Company is in the development stage, as it has not yet commenced principal operations and has not yet realized significant revenues from its planned operations.

Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Income Taxes – Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and the tax rates which will be in effect when these differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance that reflects expectations of the extent to which such assets will be realized.

Impairment Testing of Long-lived Assets - In the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of long-lived assets may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability would be performed. If an evaluation is required, the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset would be compared to the asset’s carrying amount to determine if a write-down to market value or discounted cash flow value is required.

 

Income (Loss) Per Share - Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted income per share includes the dilutive effects, if any, of warrants, stock options, convertible notes payable, and common stock issuable upon conversion of the Company's preferred stock. There is no diluted income (loss) per share presentation in the statements of operations because the effect would be anti-dilutive.

 

 

 

F-14

 



 

 

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 disclosures of significant contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements - In August 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections." SFAS 154 changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle, requiring in general retrospective application to prior periods' financial statements of changes in accounting principle. The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 154 which are effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors beginning after December 15, 2005. The adoption did not have a material effect on the results of operations of the Company.

 

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchange of Non-monetary Assets (An Amendment of APB No. 29)”. SFAS 153 amends Opinion 29 to eliminate the fair value accounting exception for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets, and replaces that exception with a general exception for non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance. The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 153 which are effective in general for non-monetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption did not have a material effect on the results of operations of the Company.

 

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 152, “Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions (An Amendment of FASB Statements No. 66 and 67)”. SFAS 152 amends FASB 66 and 67 to reference the accounting and reporting guidance for real estate time-sharing transactions provided for in AICPA Statement of Position 04-2. The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 152 which are effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption did not have a material effect on the results of operations of the Company.

 

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs (An Amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4)”. SFAS 151 amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 151 which are effective in general for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption did not have a material effect on the results of operations of the Company.

 

NOTE 2.

DEPOSIT ON RAILCAR PURCHASE

 

Effective July 11, 2005, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Railway and Industrial Services, Inc. for the purchase of 95 retrofitted railcars for a purchase price of $4,085,000. The agreement called for the Company to pay an initial deposit of $1,425,000 and an additional $28,000 per railcar that is accepted and delivered, as defined. The parties also entered into a Purchase Money Security Agreement effective July 11, 2005 granting the Company a security interest in the 95 railcars until such railcars are accepted and delivered. The total deposit will be allocated and correspondingly reduced at the rate of $15,000 per railcar delivered.

 

NOTE 3. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

 

Preferred Stock – The Company has the authority to issue 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The Board of Directors has the authority to issue such preferred shares in series and determine the rights and preferences of the shares.

 

 

 

F-15

 



 

 

Common Stock - The Company has 100,000,000 authorized shares of common stock, par value $0.001, of which 11,688,141 shares were outstanding at July 31, 2005.

 

NOTE 4. EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTIONS

 

 

The Company currently has no employee stock options outstanding.

 

NOTE 5.

INCOME TAXES

 

The Company has a net operating loss carry forward at July 31, 2005 of approximately $973,000, which will begin to expire in the year 2025 if not used, subject to possible limitations due to changes in ownership. The resulting deferred tax asset of approximately $380,000 has been offset by a 100% valuation allowance. The valuation allowance increased by approximately $380,000 for the year ended 2005.

 

NOTE 6.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2005, the Company paid $418,245 in cash and issued 278,830 shares of common stock valued at $418,245 to a company controlled by an officer and director of the Company for financing placement fees. In addition, the Company reported $12,720 due to this same officer and director for general and administrative expenses paid by him.

 

The Company paid $83,945 in cash and issued 15,000 shares of common stock valued at $22,500 for legal services to a law firm, during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2005, of which an officer and director of the Company is a partner. In addition, the Company reported $29,421 due to this same firm for legal services at July 31, 2005.

 

NOTE 7.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

On September 8, 2005, the Company completed an acquisition of E-Rail Logistics, Inc., a New York corporation ("E-Rail") and a development stage company operating in the solid waste disposal industry. Through this initial acquisition, the Company plans to transport solid waste, initially from the Northeast region of the United States and process and dispose of it in Company owned or leased permitted landfills. As part of the acquisition price, the Company assumed the following notes:

The Company also assumed an installment note totaling $588,307. Payments under this note will be made upon the Company receiving certain permits for landfill and mining operations. Payments will be calculated at the rate of Twenty-Five Cents ($0.25) per ton for minerals mined and sold from the

properties owned or leased by the Company and Twenty-Five Cents ($0.25) per ton from all waste materials deposited on lands owned or acquired by the Company. The loan carries no interest until 60 months from the date the permits are received. At that time, interest will accrue at the then yearly compounded U.S. Prime Rate as published by the Federal Reserve Board, adjusted annually.

 

Subsequent to year end, the Company acquired and assumed from Rail Waste Holdings, LLC, a promissory note dated January 4, 2004 and open end mortgage dated January 6, 2004, issued to Rail Waste Holdings, LLC by Minerva Enterprises, Inc.

PART II INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

The Company has adopted provisions in its Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation that limit the liability of its directors for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duty as directors, except for (a) acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of law; or (b) the payment of dividends in violation of Section 78.300 of the Nevada Revised Statutes under the laws of the State of Nevada. Nevada law provides that directors of a company will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as directors, except for liability for acts or omissions involving intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law.

The Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws also provide that the Company will indemnify its directors, officers, employees and other agents against liabilities and expenses incurred in the performance of their duties to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law. Under Nevada law, Nevada corporations may indemnify directors, officers and agents against liabilities and expenses incurred in the performance of their duties.

We believe that the limitation of liability provision in our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and the indemnification provision in our Amended and Restated Bylaws will facilitate our ability to continue to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve as directors and officers of the Company.

UNDERTAKINGS

(a)

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(1)                         To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

(i)          To include any Prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 

(ii)         To reflect in the Prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of Prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.

 

(iii)        To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

 

(2)         That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(3)         To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered that remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

(h)           Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

(i)            (1)         For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted form the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

 

 

 

II-4

 



 

 

(2)         For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form or prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
