You (and perhaps he) misunderstand what he will find in his search, if he finds anything. He's searching the Secretary of State records of what he thinks is a corporation that he thinks is organized in Vermont (just because Cone does business in Vermont doesn't mean his company is necessarily incorporated there, even assuming it's incorporated at all, but that's another question). The corporate records maintained by a Secretary of State will tell very little about the details of a corporation's business and nothing at all about about its "health." The records that a Secretary of State maintains usually include the corporation's charter and its annual report. These things typically give very basic information such as the names of the corporation's officers and directors, the number of shares of stock authorized and issued, and whether the corporation is in good standing in the state (which means nothing more than that the required annual filing fees have been paid) and a few other things like that. Details vary from state to state but I've never done a Secretary of State search (and I've done hundreds) that would reveal anything about "the health of a business" or anything else that would be of interest (beyond idle curiosity) to someone whose only connection with the business is the purchase of its products. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Editor P.O.V.
