Heading: Cause of incorporation

Text: Ross did not initially incorporate either of the companies that became Nerox Energy or Nerox Power. However, at the time Ross took control of the two companies under their former names of Gemini Energy Corporation and Gemini Operating Company, both were essentially dormant. Ross thus played a crucial role in reactivating the two companies. Judge Hunt concluded that this activation of Nerox Power was substantively no different than originally incorporating the corporation. Judge Hunt reached a similar conclusion with regard to Nerox Energy, which would have gone out of existence but for the 1992 infusion of capital by Mr. Ross. When a corporation was previously dormant and thus for practical purposes non-existent, the difference between activation of the corporation and its initial incorporation is, for the purposes of this factor, minimal. We therefore affirm the superior court's finding.
