Wrong approach. It's not a specific company. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NewCo Wiki sez: "*NewCo* is a generic name used to refer to corporate spin-offs <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporate_spin-off> and startups <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Startup_company> before they are assigned a final name." We now know for sure it's no company anyone's ever heard of because it was established just for this purpose. He wants to mass produce something, with shipments to start in a few months, so he builds his own brand new company to manufacture it, rather than having an established manufacturer do it. Does that make any sense at all? It's certainly not how I'd do it. OTOH if what he wanted were a shell company into which investors' money could be poured, then this approach would make a lot of sense. IMHO the /only/ aspect to all this which doesn't have a bad smell is the calorimetry.
