(a)
This Amendment No. 18 amends and supplements the Schedule 13D,
as amended
and supplemented by Amendments Nos. 1 through 17, inclusive (the
"Schedule
13D"), of Moses Marx, an individual, and Momar Corporation, a Maryland
corporation ("Momar"), with respect to the Common Stock, $.10 par
value
("Common Stock") of Berkshire Bancorp Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the
"Company"), formerly known as Cooper Life Sciences, Inc. Except
as amended
hereby, there has been no change in the information contained in
the
Schedule 13D. Pursuant to Rule 13d-1(f)(1) promulgated under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"),
this
Schedule 13D is being filed by Mr. Marx, Momar and Terumah Foundation,
Inc., a New York not-for-profit corporation (the "Foundation").
The
individual and entities hereinabove set forth (collectively, the
"Reporting Persons") are making this single, joint filing because
they may
be deemed to constitute a "group" within the meaning of Section
13d(d)(3)
of the Exchange Act. Information regarding Mr. Marx, Momar and
the
Foundation in response to Item 2 of Schedule 13D has been previously
submitted in prior filings of this Schedule
13D.
|
The
source and amount of the funds used by Mr. Marx to purchase the
shares of
Common Stock reported in Item 5(c) are personal funds in the aggregate
amount of $1,306,973.00.
|
(a)
- (b)
|
According
to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended
December 31, 2007, there were 7,054,183 shares of Common Stock
outstanding
on March 24, 2008.
|
As
of the date of this Amendment No. 18 Moses Marx beneficially owned
3,842,419 shares of Common Stock, representing 54.5% (calculated
in
accordance with the instructions to Schedule 13D) of the issued
and
outstanding shares of the Common Stock. Said securities consist
of (i)
3,171,256 shares owned directly by Mr. Marx; (ii) 285,000 shares
owned of
record by Momar; and (iii) 386,163 shares owned of record by the
Foundation. With respect to the shares described in clauses (ii)
and
(iii), Mr. Marx may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of such
shares by
virtue of his being the only person (in the case of the Foundation,
by
voting together with his wife, Marga Marx, who together constitute
a
majority of the votes on the Foundation’s Board of Directors) in a
position to determine the investment and voting decisions of Momar
and the
Foundation, respectively, with respect to such
shares.
|
The
foregoing does not include any of the 162,184 shares owned by Eva
and
Esther, L.P., of which Mr. Marx has a 23.0% limited partnership
interest
and of which Mr. Marx’s daughters and their husbands are the general
partners.
|
(c)
During the last 60 days, Mr. Marx made the following purchases
of shares
of Common Stock in open market transactions on the NASDAQ Global
Market:

Each of the Reporting Persons affirms that no person other than
the
Reporting Persons has the right to receive or the power to direct
the
receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the
Common
Stock owned by the Reporting
Persons.
|
(e)
It is inapplicable for the purposes hereof to state the date on
which the
Reporting Persons ceased to be the owners of more than five percent
of the
Common Stock.
