HOW TO FIND SHELLS (Merger Candidates) Before they run: You can search for shells on the Secretary of State - Division of Corporations site: <A HREF="http://www.coordinatedlegal.com/SecretaryOfState.html" target="_blank">http://www.coordinatedlegal.com/SecretaryOfState.html</A> Here you can find information on shells that have had "Corporation reinstatement", new management, and new resident agent. Some states allow you to search for specific events (like reactivation), eg. Nevada, however this information is not free. Examples of shells that were found this way: FCNK/RGNO (ran 0.008 to 3.72), LFZA/USSE (ran from 0.0002 to 0.84).
