Nature of Operations
Note 1.  Nature of Operations
 
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. From 2009 to 2012, the Company operated and experienced severe losses from an operating subsidiary in the rail services sector and is now a shell company.
 
The Company is actively seeking acquisitions of leading companies within the industrial, energy, transportation, technology and health care industries throughout North America.
 
Liquidity and Going Concern (See Note 4) The Company’s ability to continue on a going-concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, raising capital and finding an operating business to acquire, and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.
