Description of Business.


Business Development.

 

Year Ended December 31, 2001

---------------------

During 2001, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire Global Starlink Group, Ltd , a Cayman Islands company, which is in the business of facilitating commerce between the United States and China.  The nature of the transaction was reported on Form 8-K, filed January 8, 2002, and resulted in 7,600,000 restricted common shares being issued to Allstate Development, Ltd. in late March, 2002.  The Company is now operating as a commercial link between Chinese companies and American customers for those companies.  Several commission agents have been hired, office space has been leased and revenues are anticipated during the second quarter of 2002.

 

In January, 2002, the Company effected a 1-for-4 reverse recapitalization of its stock, prior to the acquisition of Global Starlink.  During the first quarter, the Company conducted private placements to secure operating capital, raising $307,500, which has been utilized to expand the Company's US operations.  On January 18, 2002, the Company changed its name to GSL Holdings, Inc., and its trading symbol was similarly altered, to GSLH, to reflect this change.

 

Year Ended December 31, 2000
---------------------
At a Special Meeting of the Board of Directors of Bethurum Laboratories, Inc. ("Bethurum" or the "Company") held on June 15, 2000, the Company adopted a Business Plan whereby the Company intended to develop, acquire and operate wireless telecommunications networks in developing markets throughout the world. At that time, the Company offered and sold 1,250,000 post-split (following a one for 10 reverse split of its outstanding common stock that is reflected in all computations contained in this Report) shares of its "restricted securities" (common stock) at a price of $0.01 per share, to persons, including members of management, who had assisted the Company since the recommencement of its development stage. On July 19, 2000, Benchmark Merchant Partners, LLC ("Benchmark") paid the Company the sum of $200,000 and executed a Promissory Note in the amount of $100,000 payable to the Company on the earlier of the completion of an acquisition of an acceptable business or enterprise engaged in the wireless telecommunications networks industry, or December 31, 2000, and the Company issued 1,700,000 shares of its "restricted securities" (common stock) to Benchmark. All 1,700,000 shares issued to Benchmark were held in escrow by the Company's legal counsel as collateral for payment of the Promissory Note, which was never paid. The parties also agreed that the Company could, at its option, cancel the Promissory Note, cancel the 1,700,000 shares and pay Benchmark the sum of $75,000 in satisfaction of all claims between them. Management accomplished that repayment in December, 2001.  See Part III, Item 13.


The Company's common stock was reverse split on a basis of one for 10 on July 31, 2000.  On September 27, 2000, the Company filed and S-4 Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission whereby the Company submitted a proposal to its stockholders to change its domicile to the British Virgin Islands. The Registration Statement became effective on October 11, 2000. The S-4 Registration Statement is incorporated herein by reference.  See Part III, Item 13.
 

On November 13, 2000, the Company changed its domicile from the State of Utah, USA, to the British Virgin Islands. See the 8-K Current Report dated November 22, 2000, and which has been previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and which is incorporated herein by reference. See Part III, Item 13.
 

Year Ended December 31, 1999
----------------------------
Additional historical information regarding Bethurum since its inception is contained under the headings "Business Development," Part I, Item 1, of the Company's 10-SB Registration Statement, as amended, and Part I, Item 1, of its 10-KSB Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 1999, both of which have been previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and which are incorporated herein by reference; and the caption "Certain Information Concerning Bethurum" in the Company's and its subsidiary's S-4 Registration Statement. See Part III, Item 13.
 

Business.
- ---------
The Company has had no material business operations for over five years. On December 18, 2001, the Company adopted a Business Plan pursuant to which the Company acquired Everbright Overseas Development, Ltd., a company with extensive relationships with the People's Republic of China, with the intent to develop a trans-national assurance and agency business between China and the United States.  As of April 30, 2002, the Company had acquired office space in Pasadena, California, entered into a series of commission and sales agent agreements with the aim of increasing local awareness of the Company's capabilities within China and established an internet web site, gslh.com, which will commence listings of the various Chinese corporate clients that are being solicited as members of the Company's trading services group.
 

Risk Factors.
- -------------
Information regarding potential risk factors that may affect the Company and its proposed endeavors is contained under the caption "Risk Factors" of the Company's and its subsidiary's S-4 Registration Statement.  See Part III, Item 13.
 

Effect of Existing or Probable Governmental Regulations on Business.
- ---------
The integrated disclosure system for small business issuers adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission in Release No. 34-30968 and effective as of August 13, 1992, substantially modified the information and financial requirements of a "Small Business Issuer," defined to be an issuer that has revenues of less than $25 million; is a U.S. or Canadian issuer; is not an investment company; and if a majority-owned subsidiary, the parent is also a small business issuer; provided, however, an entity is not a small business issuer if it has a public float (the aggregate market value of the issuer's outstanding securities held by non-affiliates) of $25 million or more. The Company is deemed to be a "small business issuer." The Securities and Exchange Commission, state securities commissions and the North American Securities Administrators Association, Inc. ("NASAA") have expressed an interest in adopting policies that will streamline the registration process and make it easier for a small business issuer to have access to the public capital markets. The Company is subject to Regulation 14A of the Securities and Exchange Commission, which regulates proxy solicitations. Section  14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), requires all companies with securities registered pursuant to Section 12(g) thereof to comply with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding proxy solicitations, as outlined in Regulation 14A.  Matters submitted to stockholders of the Company at a special or annual meeting thereof or pursuant to a written consent will require the Company to provide its stockholders with the information outlined in Schedules 14A or 14C of Regulation 14; preliminary copies of this information must be submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission at least 10 days prior to the date that definitive copies of this information are forwarded to stockholders.  The Company is also required to file annual reports on Form 10-KSB and quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB with the Commission on a regular basis, and will be required to timely disclose certain material events (e.g., changes in corporate control; acquisitions or dispositions of a significant amount of assets other than in the ordinary course of business; and bankruptcy) in a Current Report on Form 8-K.
 

Beneficial ownership and changes in beneficial ownership of securities of the Company by directors, executive officers and 10% stockholders is also required on Forms 3, 4 or 5 of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Our common stock is "penny stock" as defined in Rule 3a51-1 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Penny stocks are stocks:  with a price of less than five dollars per share; that are not traded on a "recognized" national exchange;  whose prices are not quoted on the NASDAQ automated quotation system; or in issuers with net tangible assets less than $2,000,000, if the issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years, or $5,000,000, if in continuous operation for less than three years, or with average revenues of less than $6,000,000 for the last three years.  Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act and Rule 15g-2 of the Securities and Exchange Commission require broker/dealers dealing in penny stocks to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks and to obtain a manually signed and dated written receipt of the document before making any transaction in a penny stock for the investor's account. You are urged to obtain and read this disclosure carefully before purchasing any of our shares.

Rule 15g-9 of the Securities and Exchange Commission requires broker/dealers in penny stocks to approve the account of any investor for transactions in these stocks before selling any penny stock to that investor.  This procedure requires the broker/dealer to:

 

  • get information about the  investor's financial situation, investment experience and investment goals;

  • reasonably determine, based on that information, that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for the investor and that the investor can evaluate the risks of penny stock transactions;

  • provide the investor with a written statement setting forth the basis on which the broker/dealer made his or her determination;
    and

  • receive a signed and dated copy of the statement from the investor, confirming that it accurately reflects the investor's financial situation, investment experience and investment goals.

Compliance with these requirements may make it harder for our stockholders to resell their shares.

 

Item 2. Description of Property.
------------------------
The Company has no significant material assets or property.  It leases approximately 2,500 square feet of office space in Pasadena, California, under a two year lease, commencing at $2,475.00 per month and escalating slightly, through the term, to $2,550 per month.  The Company has general premises liability insurance, which management believes is sufficient for normal office operations.
 

 

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
------------------------
The Company is not a party to any pending legal proceeding and, to the knowledge of management, no federal, state or local governmental agency is presently contemplating any proceeding against the Company. No director, executive officer or affiliate of the Company or owner of record or beneficially of more than five percent of the Company's common stock is a party adverse to the Company or has a material interest adverse to the Company in any proceeding.

 


Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
----------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to an S-4 Registration Statement and Joint Proxy Statement and Prospectus of the Company and its subsidiary filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and granted an effective date of October 11, 2000, the stockholders of the Company voted on November 10, 2000, to redomicile the Company to the British Virgin Islands. Of the 3,300,750 shares of the Company entitled to vote, 2,726,350 voted for the proposal, with none against and none abstaining. On September 22, 2000, Bethurum Laboratories, Ltd. was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands as an International Business Company for the sole purpose of changing the domicile of the Company. On November 13, 2000, the Company filed Articles of Merger with the State of Utah, and on November 22, 2000, the Company filed Articles of Merger and a Plan of Merger with the Registry of Companies in the British Virgin Islands.  Copies of this documentation were filed as exhibits to the Company's 8-K Current Report dated November 22, 2000. See Part III, Item 1.  There have been no matters submitted to a Vote of Security Holders since that time.


 

PART II

Dividends.
- ----------
The Company has not declared any cash dividends with respect to its common stock, and does not intend to declare dividends in the foreseeable future.

                        * Indicates that the number shown is not adjusted for subsequent reverse splits

    (1)  All of these securities were issued to persons who were either "accredited investors," or "sophisticated investors," who, by reason of education, business acumen, experience or other factors, were fully capable of evaluating the risks and merits of an investment in the Company; and each had prior access to all material information regarding the Company. The offer and sale of these securities was believed to be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Sections 4(2) and 4(6) thereof, and Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities and Exchange Commission; and pursuant to various similar state exemptions.
 

   

    (2)  This Limited Offering was to Benchmark Partners and has since been rescinded  See the heading "Business Development," Part I, Item 1.

 

    (3)    These securities were issued to the shareholders of Global Starlink, currently known as Everbright Overseas Development, Ltd., (formerly Allstate Development, Ltd.) in exchange for their shares of Global Starlink.  This was a single shareholder, a company, which is an accredited investor as defined in (1) above.

 

    (4)    These securities were issued to citizens of China, and are believed to be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Regulation S thereof, as sales to foreign citizens conducted in a foreign country.

Sales of "restricted securities" by members of management and others could have an adverse effect on any public market for the common stock of the Company. With the exception of the 2,950,000 shares of "restricted securities" issued in 2000, all of the remaining outstanding shares of the Company's common stock have been held for a sufficient period of time for resale under Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange Commission, subject to volume limitations of subparagraph (e) of this Rule; and all of such shares have been registered pursuant to the Company's and its subsidiary's S-4 Registration Statement.

 

 

Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.       
----------------------------------------------------------
Plan of Operation.
- ----------------------------------------------------------
GSL plans to assure or provide a guarantee of the services and products that are sold by Chinese clients into the US marketplace.  We are not currently aware of any other company providing this service.  Because the legal system in China is still in an uncertain organizational status for dealings with non-Chinese businesses, GSL will bridge the cultural and legal differences on behalf of its clients.  The goal is to give confidence to foreign customers of Chinese companies so that greater trading volume can occur between the two countries.

 

GSL is intending to conduct business in five cities in China, initially, to demonstrate the ability of GSL to provide the services promised.  Each Chinese city will have an operating company that is a wholly-owned subsidiary of GSL and an assurance company, which is partly owned by GSL and partly owned by the City in China through its governmental agencies.  Each assurance company will be funded by the Chinese City, in US dollars, so that if any problems arise, these funds may be utilized to solve or minimize the problems.  Fees will be charged to Chinese companies for the GSL services and also to US companies who seek to have the transaction with a particular GSL client guaranteed.


During the next 12 months, the Company's foreseeable cash requirements will relate to maintaining the Company in good standing, which will require legal and accounting services, the provision of office space in the United States, and the engagement of various employees and sales agents to market the GSL program, both in the US and in China.  If the sums necessary are not available from operations or from private sales of equity, then they may be advanced by management or principal stockholders as loans to the Company. Any such sums would be subordinated to other debts outstanding at the time.  To date, the company has raised approximately $307,500 in private placements, both from US investors and Chinese citizens, and we believe sufficient operating capital will be available for the remainder of 2002.
 

Results of Operations.
- ----------------------
The Company had no material operations for over five years.  The Company incurred losses of ($421,465) for the year ended December 31, 2001, and ($244,787) for the year ended December 31, 2000. Primarily all of these expenses were utilized for attorney's fees, accounting fees and filing fees to maintain the Company in good standing, to file its and its subsidiary's S-4 Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission and to change its domicile to the British Virgin Islands.

 

Liquidity.

----------
During the year ended December 31, 2001, capital contributions (and loans) by  principal stockholders amounted to $550,000; and the amount of $5,288 was similarly contributed during the year ended December 31, 2000.  The Company tentatively received $212,500 in stock subscriptions during the year ended December 31, 2000, primarily from Benchmark, pursuant to its Promissory Note payable to the Company, all of which has been returned and the transaction cancelled.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT


The Board of Directors

GSL Holdings, Inc.

(Formerly Bethurum Laboratories, Inc.)

(A Development Stage Company)

Pasadena, California


We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of GSL Holdings, Inc. (formerly Bethurum Laboratories, Inc.), (a development stage company), as of December 31, 2001 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 and for the period from inception on April 22, 1983 through December 31, 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.


We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of GSL Holdings, Inc. (formerly Bethurum Laboratories, Inc.), (a development stage company), as of December 31, 2001 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 and for the period from inception on April 22, 1983 through December 31, 2001 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company is a development stage company with no significant operating results to date, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 1 -   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


a. Organization


The Company was incorporated in the State of Utah on April 22, 1983 under the name Lion Resources, Inc. The purpose of the Company was to seek business opportunities by mergers, acquisitions and/or asset purchases. The Company subsequently redomiciled to the British Virgin Islands.


On October 24, 1983, pursuant to a reorganization agreement, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of Bethurum Laboratories, Inc. (a Texas corporation) (BLI) through the issuance of 10,000,000 shares of its common stock. In connection with the acquisition, the Company changed its name to Bethurum Laboratories, Inc. on October 27, 1983. In January 1985, the acquisition agreement was canceled due to non-performance of BLI. Ownership of BLI was returned to its former shareholders, and the shares issued by the Company in connection with the acquisition were canceled with the exception of 250,000 shares which were not returned.


On October 24, 1983 and in conjunction with the reorganization agreement, the Company's shareholders approved a forward split agreement, whereby the outstanding common shares were exchanged at a rate of 1.6667 shares for every 1 share outstanding. This increased the outstanding shares to 2,500,000 immediately prior to the reorganization agreement.


                    On July 31, 2000 management approved a 1 for 10 reverse split of its outstanding common stock.

 

                   In connection with the contemplated transaction discussed in Note 3, on January 18, 2002, the Company changed its name to GSL Holdings, Inc., changed it’s capitalization to 100,000,000,000 authorized shares with no par value and effected a one-for-four reverse split of its outstanding common stock.

 

All references to shares outstanding and losses per share have been retroactively restated, giving effect to all of the changes in capitalization, including reverse splits.

 

                   The Company has not yet begun formal business operations. Accordingly, the Company is considered to be in the development stage.


b. Accounting Method


The Company's financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. The Company has selected a December 31 year end.



NOTE 1 -          SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)


c. Basic Loss Per Common Share


Basic loss per common share has been calculated based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.


d. Provision for Taxes


At December 31, 2001, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $630,000 that may be offset against future taxable income through 2021. No tax benefits has been reported in the financial statements, because the potential tax benefits of the net operating loss carry forwards are offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.


The income tax benefit differs from the amount computed at federal statutory rates of approximately 38% as follows:

 

                                                                                                For the Years Ended

                                                                                              2001                2000

 

                        Income Tax benefit at statutory rate      $     160,157     $      77,819

                        Change in valuation allowance                  ( 160,157)         (  77,819)

                                                                  $               - -      $              - -

 

 

      Deferred tax assets (liabilities) are comprised of the following:

 

                                                                    For the Years Ended

                                                                            December 31,

                                                                    2001                    2000

 

      Income tax benefit at statutory rate        $ 240,276     $      80,119

      Change in valuation allowance                (240,276)         ( 80,119)

                                                                 $            -      $              - -

 

Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carry forwards for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur, net operating loss carry forwards may be limited as to use in the future.



NOTE 1 -          SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)


e. Cash Equivalents


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


f. Restricted Cash


Contributions in the amount of $200,000 were made by the Company during the year. These funds were put into a Trust account held by the Company’s attorney. Contributions were used to pay for past services of officers and expenses incurred during the year. Money can only be released through written direction by the Company’s president. At December 31, 2001 the balance in the trust account was $68,960.


g. Estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

h. Notes Payable - Related Parties

 

On December 1, 2001 two notes payable were entered into by former officers of Bethurum, for $175,000 per note for a total of $350,000. Notes are to be paid as follows: $50,000 on or before December 31, 2001. $150,000 on or before March 1, 2002 and $150,000 on or before June 1, 2002. All funds are to be deposited into a trust fund held by Corporate Council. The notes are non interest bearing unless default on payment occurs. In the event that the Company fails to make payment $15,000 shall be payable with the next payment.

NOTE 2 -          GOING CONCERN

The Company's financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company does not have significant cash or other material assets, nor does it have an established source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and to allow it to continue as a going concern. It is the intent of the Company to seek a transaction with an existing, operating company in order to establish business operations. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital or establish profitable operations, it could be forced to cease operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 3 -   MATERIAL EVENTS

Effective November 21, 2001 common stock in the amount of 1,700,000 previously issued to Bench Mark Merchant Partners, L.P. was cancelled. Net proceeds of $300,000 were dispersed as follows: 1) the Company paid back to Bench Mark $75,000 and forgave the $100,000 subscription receivable previously outstanding, 2) the remaining $125,000 was kept by the Company for expenses incurred for processing the rescission.

NOTE 4 -   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On December 21,2001 the Company entered into an agreement to acquire 100% of the outstanding securities of Global Starlink Group, Inc. in exchange for 30,400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. As a result of the acquisition the name of the Company was changed to GSL Holdings, Inc. and new corporate directors and officers were elected. The effective date of the above acquisition was postponed to March 19, 2002. Subsequent to the postponed acquisition, the Company increased the authorized capital from 100,000,000 shares of common stock to 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock, changed the par value of the common stock from $0.001 to no par and enacted a one for four reverse stock split of the outstanding common stock of the Company. (See Note 1). As previously indicated, all references to shares outstanding and losses per share have been retroactively stated.

Subsequent to December 31, 2001, the Company has sold 149,000 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $1.00 to $2.50 per share for total proceeds of $307,500 pursuant to an unregistered private placement of securities.
