Nature of Operations

Note 1.  Nature of Operations

Banyan Rail Services Inc. (“Banyan,” “we,” “our” or the “Company”) was originally organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in 1985, under the name VMS Hotel Investment Trust, for the purpose of investing in mortgage loans, principally to entities affiliated with VMS Realty Partners. The Company was subsequently reorganized as a Delaware corporation in 1987 and changed its name to B.H.I.T. Inc. In 2010, the Company changed its name from B.H.I.T. Inc. to Banyan Rail Services Inc. and purchased The Wood Energy Group, Inc. (“Wood Energy” ). Wood Energy was engaged in the business of railroad tie reclamation and disposal. As a result of the bankruptcy and liquidation of Wood Energy, Banyan is now a shell Company seeking to acquire an operating entity.

The Company is actively seeking acquisitions of leading companies within the industrial, energy, transportation, technology and health care industries throughout North America.
