PRELIMINARY JOINT PROXY STATEMENT-PROSPECTUS SUBJECT TO COMPLETION

PROPOSED MERGER—YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT
The boards of directors of Abazias, Inc. (“Abazias”) have unanimously approved an Agreement and Plan of Merger pursuant to which Abazias will merge with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of OmniReliant Holdings, Inc. ("OmniReliant "), with the subsidiary continuing as the surviving entity. The total merger consideration is fixed at 13,000,000 shares of OmniReliant’s Series E Preferred Stock, to be distributed pro rata among the holders of Abazias’ issued and outstanding common stock upon closing of the merger, with fractional shares to be rounded up. An additional 1,000 shares of OmniReliant’s Series E Preferred Stock are being registered in order to account for the rounding up of fractional shares. Each share of Series E Preferred Stock is convertible into one share of OmniReliant’s Common Stock, subject to adjustment should the trading price of OmniReliant’s Common Stock fall below $1.20 per share, with a floor at $0.50 per share. The adjusted conversion price will be computed by dividing a market price below $1.20 on the closing day by $1.20. For example, if the trading price of Omni’s common stock is $0.50, the conversion rate would be $0 .42, calculated by dividing $0.50 by $1.20. Below is a tabular illustration of the number of shares of OmniReliant Common Stock the Series E Preferred Stock would be convertible into based on different market values of OmniReliant’s Common Stock:
Market Price | | | Conversion Rate | | | OmniReliant Series E Preferred Stock | | | OmniReliant Common Stock | | | Abazias Common Stock Outstanding at Closing | | Ratio of Omni Stock received for Abazias Stock | | Percentage of Omni Stock Held By Abazias’ Shareholders | |
$0.50 | | | | .42 | | | | 13,000,000 | | | | 30,952,381 | | | | 3,165,522 | | 9.79:1 | | | 20.55 | % |

Vicis Capital Master Fund is the beneficial owner of 95.97% of OmniReliant’s issued and outstanding common stock as a result of converting preferred stock into common stock on July 31, 2009.
OmniReliant’s common stock is quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board and trades under the symbol “ORHI.” Abazias’ common stock is quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board and trades under the symbol “ABZA.”
The following questions and answers briefly address some commonly asked questions about the Abazias special meeting and this Joint Proxy Statement/prospectus.
Risks Relating to OmniReliant’s Current Financing Arrangement
There are a large number of shares underlying our Series C Preferred Stock and Warrants that may available for future sale and the sale of these shares may depress the market price of our common stock.
Below is a chart which illustrates all of our outstanding our Series C Preferred Stock and Warrants that may available for future sale.

The sale of shares of the Common Stock of OmniReliant that underlie our Series C Preferred Stock, if sold, could push the market price of our Common Stock downward. If sold the value of the common stock of OmniReliant may suffer and as such so will the value of the shares that you receive in the Merger.
Risk Relating to the Merger
Although Abazias and OmniReliant expect that the merger will result in benefits to the combined company, the combined company may not realize those benefits because of various factors.
Abazias and OmniReliant believe that the merger will result in the diversification of revenue streams and the expansion of marketing opportunities and efficiencies for the combined company. Realizing the benefits anticipated from the merger will depend, in part, on several factors, including:
| · | retaining and attracting key employees; |
| · | successfully implementing cross-promotional and other future marketing initiatives, products and services directed at OmniReliant 's customer base; and |
| · | improving the overall performance of the Abazias business. |
OmniReliant and Abazias have operated and, until the completion of the merger, will continue to operate independently. It is possible that the integration process could result in the loss of key employees, as well as the disruption of each company’s ongoing business. Any or all of those occurrences could adversely affect OmniReliant’s ability to maintain relationships with customers and employees after the merger or to achieve the anticipated benefits of the merger. Integration efforts between the two companies will also divert management attention and resources. These integration matters could have an adverse effect on each of OmniReliant and Abazias.
Certain directors and executive officers of Abazias have interests in the merger that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of Abazias stockholders.
When considering the Abazias board of directors' recommendation that Abazias stockholders vote in favor of the merger proposal, Abazias stockholders should be aware that some directors and executive officers of Abazias have interests in the merger that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of Abazias stockholders. These interests relate to employment agreements between certain executive officers of Abazias and OmniReliant which provide for, among other things, a bonus upon entrance into the employment agreement and an executive position with Abazias.com after the merger. Abazias’ board of directors was aware of these interests and considered them in approving the merger.
Because the market price of OmniReliant common stock will fluctuate, Abazias stockholders cannot be sure of the market value of the OmniReliant common stock underlying the preferred stock that they will receive. A decline in the price of OmniReliant common stock will decrease the value of the merger consideration to be received by Abazias’ stockholders.
When Abazias and OmniReliant complete the merger, each share of Abazias’ common stock will be converted into the right to receive a pro rata share of OmniReliant preferred stock as the merger consideration. The total merger consideration is fixed at 13,000,000 shares of OmniReliant’s Series E Preferred Stock, to be distributed pro rata among the holders of Abazias’ issued and outstanding common stock upon closing of the merger, with fractional shares to be rounded up. Each share of Series E Preferred Stock is convertible into one share of OmniReliant’s Common Stock, subject to adjustment should the trading price of the Common Stock fall below$1.20 per share, with a floor at $0.50 per share. The adjusted conversion price will be computed by dividing a market price below $1.20 on the closing day by $1.20. For example on May 29, 2009, shares of OmniReliant’s Common Stock listed on the OTCBB closed at a price of $1.01 per share. At that closing price the holders of Abazias’ common stock would receive 13,000,000 shares of OmniReliant Series E Preferred Stock, to be distributed pro rata, which would be convertible into 15,476,190 shares of OmniReliant’s Common Stock, at a conversion rate of $0.84 ($1.01 divided by $1.20). If shares of OmniReliant’s Common Stock had closed at $1.20 per share, the holders of Abazias’ common stock would receive 13,000,000 shares of OmniReliant’s Series E Preferred Stock, to be distributed pro rata, convertible into 13,000,000 shares of OmniReliant’s Common Stock, at a conversion rate of $1.00 ($1.20 divided by $1.20). To further illustrate, if shares of OmniReliant’s Common Stock had closed at $0.50 per share, the holders of Abazias’ common stock would receive 13,000,000 shares of OmniReliant’s Series E Preferred Stock, to be distributed pro rata, convertible into 30,952,381 shares of OmniReliant’s Common Stock, at a conversion rate of $.42 ($0.50 divided by $1.20). An additional 1,000 shares of OmniReliant’s Series E Preferred Stock are being registered in order to account for the rounding up of fractional shares. In addition, the Agreement and Plan of Merger does not provide for any price-based termination right. Accordingly, the market value of the shares of OmniReliant common stock that Abazias stockholders will be entitled to receive when the companies complete the merger will depend on the market value of shares of OmniReliant common stock at the time the companies complete the merger and could vary significantly from the market value on the date the Agreement and Plan of Merger was entered into, the date of this Joint Proxy Statement/prospectus or the date of the Abazias special meeting. A tabular example of the Series E Preferred merger consideration can be found below.
Market Price | | | Conversion Rate | | | OmniReliant Series E Preferred Stock | | | OmniReliant Common Stock | | | Abazias Common Stock Outstanding at Closing | | Ratio of Omni Stock received for Abazias Stock | | Percentage of Omni Stock Held By Abazias’ Shareholders | |
$0.50 | | | | .42 | | | | 13,000,000 | | | | 30,952,381 | | | | 3,165,522 | | 9.79:1 | | | 20.55 | % |
$1.01 | | | | .84 | | | | 13,000,000 | | | | 15,476,190 | | | | 3,165,522 | | 4.87:1 | | | 11.45 | % |
$ 1.20 | | | | 1.00 | | | | 13,000,000 | | | | 13,000,000 | | | | 3,165,522 | | 4.09:1 | | | 9.80 | % |
The following discussion includes the material provisions of the law pertaining to appraisal rights under the Delaware General Corporation Law but is not a complete statement of the law pertaining to appraisal rights under the Delaware General Corporation Law and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of Section 262 which is attached as Appendix B to this proxy statement/prospectus. The following summary does not constitute any legal or other advice nor does it constitute a recommendation that stockholders exercise their appraisal rights under Section 262.
Under Section 262, holders of shares of Abazias common stock who do not vote in favor of the merger proposal and who otherwise follow the procedures set forth in Section 262 will be entitled to have their shares appraised by the Delaware Court of Chancery, which we refer to as the Court, and to receive payment in cash of the “fair value” of the shares, exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger, as determined by the Court, together with interest, if any, to be paid upon the amount determined to be the fair value.
Under Section 262, where a merger agreement is to be submitted for adoption at a meeting of stockholders, the corporation, not less than 20 days prior to the meeting, must notify each of its stockholders entitled to appraisal rights that appraisal rights are available for any and all shares and include in the notice a copy of Section 262. This proxy statement/prospectus shall constitute the notice, and the full text of Section 262 is attached as Annex D to this proxy statement/prospectus. Any holder of Abazias common stock who wishes to exercise appraisal rights, or who wishes to preserve such holder’s right to do so, should review the following discussion and Annex D carefully because failure to timely and properly comply with the procedures specified will result in the loss of appraisal rights. Moreover, because of the complexity of the procedures for exercising the right to seek appraisal of shares of common stock, Abazias believes that if a stockholder considers exercising such rights, such stockholder should seek the advice of legal counsel.
Filing Written Demand. Any holder of Abazias common stock wishing to exercise appraisal rights must deliver to Abazias, before the vote on the merger proposal at the Abazias special meeting, a written demand for the appraisal of the stockholder’s shares, and that stockholder must not vote in favor of the merger proposal. A holder of shares of Abazias common stock wishing to exercise appraisal rights must hold of record the shares on the date the written demand for appraisal is made and must continue to hold the shares of record through the closing date of the merger, since appraisal rights will be lost if the shares are transferred prior to the effective date of the merger. The holder must not vote in favor of the merger proposal. A proxy that is submitted and does not contain voting instructions will, unless revoked, be voted in favor of the merger proposal, and it will constitute a waiver of the stockholder’s right of appraisal and will nullify any previously delivered written demand for appraisal. Therefore, a stockholder who submits a proxy and who wishes to exercise appraisal rights must submit a proxy containing instructions to vote against the merger proposal or abstain from voting on the merger proposal. Neither voting against the merger proposal, nor abstaining from voting or failing to vote on the merger proposal, will in and of itself constitute a written demand for appraisal satisfying the requirements of Section 262. The written demand for appraisal must be in addition to and separate from any proxy or vote on the merger proposal. The demand must reasonably inform Abazias of the identity of the stockholder as well as the intention of the stockholder to demand an appraisal of the “fair value” of the shares held by the holder. A stockholder’s failure to make the written demand prior to the taking of the vote on the merger proposal at the Abazias special meeting will constitute a waiver of appraisal rights.
Only a holder of record of shares of Abazias common stock is entitled to demand an appraisal of the shares registered in that holder’s name. A demand for appraisal in respect of shares of Abazias common stock should be executed by or on behalf of the holder of record, fully and correctly, as the holder’s name appears on the holder’s stock certificates, should specify the holder’s name and mailing address and the number of shares registered in the holder’s name and must state that the person intends thereby to demand appraisal of the holder’s shares in connection with the merger. Abazias stockholders whose shares of Abazias common stock are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee and who wish to exercise appraisal rights are urged to consult with their broker, bank or other nominee to determine the appropriate procedures for the making of a demand for appraisal by such a nominee.
All written demands for appraisal pursuant to Section 262 should be sent or delivered to Abazias at 5214 SW 91 st Terrace Suite A, Gainesville, FL 32608Attn: Chief Executive Officer.
The holders of Series E Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to receive any preference upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the business of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, each holder of Series E Preferred Stock shall share ratably with the holders of the common stock of the Corporation.
The holders of the Series E Preferred Stock may, at such Holder's option, at any time after issuance, elect to convert or any portion of the shares of Series E Preferred Stock held by such person into one (1) share of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock for each share of Series E Preferred Stock.
To convert Series E Preferred Stock into full shares of Common Stock on any date, the Holder thereof shall (A) transmit by facsimile (or otherwise deliver), for receipt on or prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time on such date, a copy of a fully executed notice of conversion to the OmniReliant (the “Conversion Notice). Upon receipt by the OmniReliant of the Conversion Notice, the OmniReliant or its designated transfer agent, as applicable, shall, within three (3) business days following the date of receipt by the OmniReliant, issue and surrender to a common carrier for overnight delivery to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled. If the number of shares of Preferred Stock represented by the Preferred Stock Certificate(s) submitted for conversion is greater than the number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock being converted, then the OmniReliant shall, as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) business days after receipt of the Preferred Stock Certificate(s) and at the OmniReliant's expense, issue and deliver to the holder a new Preferred Stock Certificate representing the number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock not converted.
The conversion rate will be adjusted on a pro-rata basis on the conversion date if the price per share of the common stock of OmniReliant is trading below One Dollar and Twenty Cents ($1.20) based upon the VWAP at the close of the market. For example, assuming 13,000,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock, if the Common Stock is trading at $1.15, then the shares of Common Stock issued shall equal Thirteen Million Five Hundred Forty One Thousand Six Hundred an Sixty Seven (13,541,667) instead of Thirteen Mi1lion (13,000,000). Notwithstanding the above, Such Conversion Rate shall have a floor of Fifty Cents ($.50). VWAP shall mean the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the OTC Bulletin Board as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:00 p.m. (New York City time). Below is a tabular illustration of the number of shares of OmniReliant common stock to the Series E Preferred Stock would be convertible into based on different market values of OmniReliant’s common stock:
Market Price | | | Conversion Rate | | | OmniReliant Series E Preferred Stock | | | OmniReliant Common Stock | | | Abazias Common Stock Outstanding at Closing | | Ratio of Omni Stock received for Abazias Stock | | Percentage of Omni Stock Held By Abazias’ Shareholders | |
$0.50 | | | | .42 | | | | 13,000,000 | | | | 30,952,381 | | | | 3,165,522 | | 9.79:1 | | | 20.55 | % |
$1.01 | | | | .84 | | | | 13,000,000 | | | | 15,476,190 | | | | 3,165,522 | | 4.87:1 | | | 11.45 | % |
$ 1.20 | | | | 1.00 | | | | 13,000,000 | | | | 13,000,000 | | | | 3,165,522 | | 4.09:1 | | | 9.80 | % |
Until December 2, 2010, the Series E Preferred Stock shall have price protection in the event the OmniReliant raises money below One Dollar and Twenty Cents ($1.20) per share of Common Stock (the “Price Protection). If the OmniReliant shall raise money at a value of less than $1.20 per share of Common Stock the conversion rate shall be adjusted in accordance with above. Such Price Protection shall have a floor of Fifty Cents ($.50) and shall have carve outs for certain exempt issuances (the “Exempt Issuances”), which shall not trigger the Price Protection. Exempt Issuances means the issuance of (a) shares of Common Stock or options to employees, officers, directors, advisors or consultants of the OmniReliant pursuant to any stock or option plan duly adopted for such purpose, by a majority of the non-employee members of the Board of Directors or a majority of the members of a committee of non-employee directors established for such purpose; (b) securities upon the exercise or exchange of or conversion of any securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the date hereof; (c) securities issued pursuant to acquisitions or strategic transactions approved by a majority of the directors of the OmniReliant, provided that any such issuance shall only be to a person which is, itself or through its subsidiaries, an operating OmniReliant in a business synergistic with the business of the OmniReliant and in which the OmniReliant receives benefits in addition to the investment of funds, but shall not include a transaction in which the OmniReliant is issuing securities primarily for the purpose of raising capital or to an entity whose primary business is investing in securities; (d) securities issuable in accordance with existing obligations of the OmniReliant to OmniReliant employees, officers, directors, consultants or agents; (f) securities issuable to any employees or former agents of the OmniReliant in satisfaction of or in settlement of any disputes or controversies concerning the terms of such person’s employment or separation from the OmniReliant and (g) shares of Common Stock issuable in lieu of payments of interest or dividends.
