Description of Business

 

SG Blocks, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company,” “we”, “us” or “our”) was previously known as CDSI Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation incorporated on December 29, 1993. On November 4, 2011, CDSI Merger Sub, Inc., the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, was merged with and into SG Building Blocks, Inc. (“SG Building,” formerly SG Blocks Inc.) (the “Merger”), with SG Building surviving the Merger and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Merger was a reverse merger that was accounted for as a recapitalization of SG Building, as SG Building was the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, the historical financial statements presented are the financial statements of SG Building.

 

The Company provides two main products, both of which are used to meet the growing demand for safe and green commercial, industrial and residential building construction. The Company provides SGBlocksTM, code engineered cargo shipping containers that the Company modifies for use in construction. Rather than consuming new steel and lumber, SGBlocksTM capitalize on the structural engineering and design parameters a shipping container must meet and repurposes them for use in building. They offer the construction industry a safer, greener, faster, longer lasting and more economical alternative to conventional construction methods. The Company also provides purpose-built modules (“SGPBMs” and, together with SGBlocksTM, “Modules”), which are prefabricated steel modular units created specifically for use in modular construction, unlike the shipping containers used to create SGBlocksTM.  

 

The Company also provides engineering and project management services related to the use and modification of Modules in construction. 


The Company is now focusing on entering into licensing agreements across the Company’s construction opportunity verticals that should enable it to further its sales and marketing efforts on qualified lead generation for its licensees.
