Item 1. Security and Issuer
This Schedule 13D is filed with respect to the shares of Class A Common
Stock, $.001 par value (the "Class A Common Stock") of Linda's Diversified
Holdings Inc, a Delaware corporation. The address of the principal executive
office is 11 Commerce Drive, Cranford, New Jersey 07016.
Item 2. Identity and Background
This Schedule 13D is filed by Barry L. Kosowsky (Mr. Kosowsky), an
individual having a residence address at 30 Nicholas Drive, East Haven,
Connecticut 06512. Mr. Kosowsky is Controller of Jeneric/Pentron Inc. a
Connecticut Corporation. Jeneric/Pentron Inc.'s principal business activity is
the manufacturing of dental materials. Jeneric/Pentron Inc. is not a party to
this Schedule 13D and, to Mr. Kosowsky's knowledge, has no interest in any
securities of the issuer.
Mr. Kosowsky has not, during the last five years, been convicted in a
criminal proceeding, nor has he been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial
or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such
proceeding was or is subject to a judgement, decree or final order enjoining
future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, Federal
or State securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
Mr. Kosowsky is a citizen of the United States.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
The funds used in making the stock purchases described herein are the
personal funds of the reporting person totalling $74,174.24 for all common stock
and Unit acquisitions.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
Shares are being acquired for investment purposes only.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
The aggregate number and percentage of the class of securities
identified pursuant to Item 1 above beneficially owned by Mr. Kosowsky are
736,060 shares and 29.0%, respectively. Mr. Kosowsky holds sole voting and
dispositive power as to all said shares. This includes 100,300 shares of common
stock which are currently owned and 158,940 units which are currently owned.
Each unit consists of one share of Class A Common Stock, one redeemable Class A
warrant and one redeemable Class B warrant. Each Class A warrant entitles the
holder to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock and one Class B warrant at
an aggregate exercise price of $6.25. Each Class B warrant entitles the holder
to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $8.50 per
share. If all 158,940 Class A warrants were exercised at $6.25 per share, Mr.
Kosowsky would own an additional 158,940 Class A Common shares and would have
317,880 Class B warrants (158,940 from the original units and an additional
158,940 from the exercise of the Class A warrants). If Mr. Kosowsky then
exercised his 317,800 B warrants he would have a total of 736,060 Class A Common
shares (100,300 originally owned; 158,940 in the units originally owned; 158,940
from the exercise of the Class A warrants and 317,880 from the exercise of the
Class B warrants).
