ITEM 1.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
CLX Investment Comp.
CLX Investment Company, Inc. (“the Company” or “CLXN”) is an investment company reporting under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a“Business Development Company”. The Company was incorporated on December 12, 1977 under the laws of the State of Colorado as Calvin Exploration Company, Inc. to engage in any lawful activity as should be appropriate under laws of the State of Colorado. The Company was organized to engage in on-shore oil and gas exploration, development and production in the continental United States. The Company's oil and gas activities were concentrated primarily in Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma and Wyoming. In 1993 the name of the Company was changed to CLX Energy, Inc. Until September 1, 2004 the Company engaged in only one industry segment and line of business; the acquisition, exploration, development and operation of oil and gas properties on its own account.
On May 24, 2004 the Company appointed new management and moved its headquarters to Temecula, CA. At the same time the Company formed CLX Oil & Gas, LLC (a wholly owned subsidiary of CLX Energy, Inc.) and transferred all of the oil and gas operations of the Company (including the assets and liabilities pertaining to such operations) into CLX Oil & Gas, LLC. On September 1, 2004 the Company sold 100% of its interest in CLX Oil & Gas, LLC to certain shareholders of the Company in exchange for shares of CLX Energy, Inc. The shareholders returned 1,433,552 shares in exchange for 100% interest in CLX Oil & Gas, LLC. The Board of Directors approved the "Securities Purchase and Sale Agreement" and also obtained a fairness opinion from Lehrer Financial and Economic Advisory Service indicating that the Securities Purchase and Sale Agreement was a fair and equitable exchange. The sale of the subsidiary has been accounted for as an asset sale transaction and all gas and oil operations are reported as discontinued operations on the financial records.
On September 13, 2004, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission to become a Business Development Corporation as defined under the Investment Act of 1940. Additionally, on September 13, 2004, the Company filed an offering circular with the SEC for up to $5,000,000 of common stock under Regulation E of the Investment Act to raise capital and to make investments in eligible emerging or early-stage companies in various fields of business by arranging for and contributing capital and providing management assistance. In anticipation of the election to become a BDC, the Company changed its name to CLX Investment Company, Inc. on September 1, 2004 to properly reflect the nature of its business.
Investment Strategy
CLX Investments Company, Inc. intends to make strategic investments in developing companies with perceived growth potential. The Investment Committee has adopted a charter wherein these two criteria will be weighed against other criteria including strategic fit, investment amount, management ability, etc. In principle, the Company prefers to make investments in companies where the Company can acquire at least a 51% ownership interest in the outstanding capital of the portfolio company or exert some other managerial control.
As a Business Development Company, the Company is required to have at least 70% of its assets in "eligible portfolio companies." It is stated in the Investment Committee Charter that the Company will endeavor to maintain this minimum asset ratio.
Portfolio Investments
The Company
The Company presently has three portfolio investments: eStrategy Solutions, Inc., ActionView International, Inc, and Zonda, Inc.
eStrategy Solutions, Inc.
eStrategy Solutions, Inc. is a Texas corporation specializing in the development, and marketing of e-learning software solutions. The Company owns 49% of the common stock of eStrategy Solutions, Inc., which it acquired in exchange for cash and an open line of credit. eStrategy Solutions already has training software in place but is projecting a late January completion date for its expanded content delivery platform, which is expected to significantly increase the user capacity of its training programs. The implementation of this new platform is expected to allow the company to expand its customer base and grow revenues unfettered by current system limitations.
3
The Texas Department of Information Resources has recently renewed its contract to engage the services of eStrategy Solutions. Under the terms of the contract, eStrategy Solutions can be retained by agencies to serve as the provider for agency defined training courses via web-based training. The contract includes development costs, notification to participants, delivery, testing, and management reporting, encompassing all state agencies, all institutions of higher learning, all independent school districts, counties and municipalities. To date, there have been several thousand deliveries covering over 20 courses. In addition to delivery, eStrategy Solutions provides completion documentation and management reports.
In the State of Texas, eStrategy Solutions has focused its business strategy on a large market niche that has a clear need for low-cost, highly effective e-learning programs. eStrategy Solutions has proven a new unique sales and pricing model that targets a defined portion of overlooked clients. By focusing on thousands of licensing regulatory agencies and certificate granting organizations, eStrategy Solutions offers enterprise level software features at low cost, and eStrategy Solutions further creates a cost-recovery method which produces funds needed to deploy a robust e-learning system. An example of this cost-recovery method is at work with the Texas Board of Chiropractic Examiners (CE). This agency chose eStrategy Solutions to host the learning system at no cost and convert the mandatory CE course into an attractive web based delivery to thousands of chiropractic professionals. The convenience of online secure payment and 24-hour access to courses are a source of savings for the user and eStrategy splits the revenue with the agency.
eStrategy Solution’s market is not just limited to Texas. The model that has been developed in Texas is applicable to all other states as well. The market potential for e-learning is in the billions of dollars and eStrategy Solutions is expected to grow and capture a significant percentage of its specific market segment.
On October 3, 2006, the Company received $189,153 as payment in full on the credit line plus accrued interest from eStrategy Solutions, Inc. In addition, on that same date, the Company agreed to sell its entire equity position in eStrategy to John Matthews, president of eStrategy, for $62,080. This amount represented the fair value of the stock since there had been no recorded increase or decrease in value since the time of
ActionView International, Inc.
On July 15, 2005, the Company entered into a financing agreement with ActionView International, Inc. (“AVWI”) wherein the Company will provide a line of credit to AVWI in the amount of $350,000. The line of credit accrues interest at 8% per annum and is to be repaid in an amount equal to the greater of 25% of net monthly income (EBIT) or $25,000 per month commencing on the earlier of nine months from the date of the final draw down, or the month following the third consecutive month in which AVWI generates net income (EBIT) of at least $50,000. In consideration AVWI shall issue CLXN a total of 2,000,000 shares of AVWI restricted common stock, the shares will be issued in proportion with the line of credit being drawn upon.
AVWI custom-designs, develops and manufactures “smart” scrolling advertising billboards. AVWI attempts to place its signs into high traffic locations and then markets advertising space on the signs. Advertising revenues generated from the billboards will be shared with advertising agencies, the local business partner and the location owner. The benefit to advertisers is big, bold exposure at top tier locations at very reasonable costs.
During 2006, the Company became apprised that one of its portfolio investments, ActionView, Inc., had a material purchase order contract that was fraudulent. The basis of this contract had formed the primary motivation behind the Company’s decision to invest in ActionView. Without this contract, the Company is doubtful of ActionView’s ability to repay the credit line extended. As a result, the Company has written off the credit line receivable from ActionView and eliminated the interest income for all periods presented. This resulted in a reduction of Advances on Credit Lines and an increase in Retained Deficit of $101,153 as of September 30, 2005.
Zonda, Inc.
On August 30, 2005, the Company entered into a financing agreement with Zonda, Inc. (“Zonda”) wherein the Company will provide a line of credit to Zonda in the amount of $500,000. The line of credit accrues interest at 8% per annum, in consideration for the line of credit Zonda shall issue an equity position of 20% to the Company.
Zonda, Inc. is a privately held company that specializes in test products that serve the medical diagnostic (IVD), food safety, and sanitation testing markets. Zonda is currently expanding the distribution of its product lines into broader markets around the world. The first product that has been targeted for accelerated marketing and distribution efforts is an innovative, rapid, self-contained diagnostic device for the detection of Chlamydia. The device, which is marketed under the HandiLab name, is superior to its competition due to its comparable accuracy, ease of use, compact design, long shelf life, rapid results and cost effectiveness.
4
Employees
CLX Investment Company, Inc. currently has one employee Robert McCoy, the Company’s Interim Chief Executive Officer. On July 1, 2005, Shane Traveller voluntarily resigned as Chief Executive Officer. To fill the vacancy created by Shane Traveller’s resignation, the Board of Directors appointed Tammy Dunn to be the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President. Tammy Dunn, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and President entered into an employment contract with the Company effective July 1, 2005. The terms of the agreement provide for an annual salary of $60,000 and the agreement is effective through July 2006. The Board determined not to renew Ms. Dunn’s contract and relieved her of her responsibilities as CEO and President on May 1, 2006, though she will be paid through the end of the contract period. Mr. McCoy, Chairman of the Board, was voted interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Compliance Offi cer during the Company’s search for a new Chief Executive. Mr. McCoy does not have an employment agreement. Each of the Company’s Directors has a Director Agreement that outlines the scope of director services to be provided and the monthly remuneration. The need for employees and their availability will be addressed in connection with a decision concerning whether or not to acquire or participate in a specific business venture.
Compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
On July 30, 2002, President Bush signed into law the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Sarbanes-Oxley Act"). The Sarbanes-Oxley Act imposes a wide variety of new regulatory requirements on publicly held companies and their insiders. Many of these requirements will affect us. For example:

-
Our periodic reports must disclose our conclusions about the effectiveness of our controls and procedures;
-
Our periodic reports must disclose whether there were significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses; and
-
We may not make any loan to any director or executive officer and we may not materially modify any existing loans.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act has required us to review our current policies and procedures to determine whether we comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the new regulations promulgated thereunder. We will continue to monitor our compliance with all future regulations that are adopted under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and will take actions necessary to ensure that we are in compliance therewith.

ITEM 7.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-K/A.
OVERVIEW
On September 13, 2004, the Company’s Board of Directors elected to be regulated as a business investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. As a business development company (“BDC”), the Company is required to maintain at least 70% of its assets invested in “eligible portfolio companies” which are loosely defined as any domestic company that is not publicly traded or has assets of less than $4 million.
In September 2004, management recognized a deficiency in liquidity. Such deficiency has been noted in the notes to the financial statements and the audit opinion of the Form 10-K for the period ending September 30, 2005 as well as September 30, 2004 filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on January 14, 2005. To remedy this situation, the Board of Directors authorized management to file Form 1-E with the Commission notifying it of the Company’s intent to sell up to $5 million of the Company’s common stock under a Regulation E exemption.
CLX Investment Company, Inc. presently has three portfolio investments: eStrategy Solutions, Inc, ActionView International, Inc. and Zonda, Inc. eStrategy Solutions, Inc has subsequently been sold and the value of ActionView International, Inc. investment has been substantially written down. Management anticipates making additional portfolio investments as opportunities present themselves in the coming year.
Currently, there are no commitments for material expenditures. It should be noted the Company’s auditors HJ Associates & Consultants, L.L.P. have expressed in their audit opinion letter there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Managerial Assistance
As a business development company we will offer and provide upon request managerial assistance to certain of our portfolio companies. As defined under the 1940 Act, managerial assistance means providing “significant guidance and counsel concerning the management, operations, or business objectives and policies of a portfolio company.”
7
Administration Agreement
On September 13, 2004, the Company entered into an administration agreement with Javelin Advisory Group, Inc., to furnish the Company with office facilities and equipment, and clerical, and record keeping services at such facilities. Javelin Advisory Group, Inc. will perform or oversee the performance of the Company’s required administrative services. These services will eliminate virtually all overhead costs and free up present staff to concentrate on revenue generating activities. Javelin does not perform any investment advisory services on behalf of the Company.
RESULT OF OPERATIONS
Operating Expenses
General and administrative expenses (“G&A”) were $20,039 for the 12 months ended September 30, 2005.
For the year ended September 30, 2005 the Company had a net loss of $1,064,644 compared to a net loss of $24,116 for the year ended September 30, 2004. The net loss is primarily interest expense due to the beneficial conversion feature of convertible debentures.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company’s financial statements present an impairment in terms of liquidity. As of September 30, 2005 the Company had $986,770 in current liabilities which exceeded current assets by $800,921. The Company has accumulated $1,752,342 of net operating losses through September 30, 2005 which may be used to reduce taxes in future years through 2025. The use of these losses to reduce future income taxes will depend on the generation of sufficient taxable income prior to the expiration of the net operating loss carry forwards. The potential tax benefit of the net operating loss carry forwards have been offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount. The Company has not yet established revenues to cover its operating costs. In the event the Company is unable to establish revenues and if suitable financing is unavailable, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISKS
RISK FACTORS
We are subject to various risks that may materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and other information in this filing before deciding to purchase our common stock. If any of these risks or uncertainties actually occurs, our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially harmed. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
We Have Historically Lost Money and Losses May Continue in the Future
We have historically lost money. The loss for the 2005 fiscal year was $1,064,644 and future losses are likely to occur. Accordingly, we may experience significant liquidity and cash flow problems if we are not able to raise additional capital as needed and on acceptable terms. No assurances can be given we will be successful in reaching or maintaining profitable operations.
There is Substantial Doubt About Our Ability to Continue as a Going Concern Due to Recurring Losses and Working Capital Shortages, Which Means that We May Not Be Able to Continue Operations Unless We Obtain Additional Funding
Our September 30, 2005 financial statements included an explanatory paragraph indicating there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern due to recurring losses and working capital shortages. Our ability to continue as a going concern will be determined by our ability to obtain additional funding. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Our Common Stock May Be Affected By Limited Trading Volume and May Fluctuate Significantly
Prior to this offering there has been a limited public market for our common stock and there can be no assurance an active trading market for our common stock will develop. This could adversely affect our shareholders' ability to sell our common stock in short time periods or possibly at all. Our common stock has experienced and is likely to experience significant price and volume fluctuations that could adversely affect the market price of our common stock without regard to our operating performance. We also believe that factors such as quarterly fluctuations in our financial results and changes in the overall economy or the condition of the financial markets could cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially. Substantial fluctuations in our stock price could significantly reduce the price of our stock.
8
Our Common Stock is Traded on the "Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board," Which May Make it More Difficult For Investors to Resell Their Shares Due to Suitability Requirements
Our common stock is currently traded on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) where we expect it to remain in the foreseeable future. Broker-dealers often decline to trade in OTCBB stocks given the market for such securities is often limited, the stocks are more volatile, and the risk to investors is greater. These factors may reduce the potential market for our common stock by reducing the number of potential investors. This may make it more difficult for investors in our common stock to sell shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of their shares. This could cause our stock price to decline.
We Could Fail to Retain or Attract Key Personnel
Our future success depends in significant part on the continued services of Robert McCoy, our Chief Executive. We cannot assure you we would be able to find an appropriate replacement for key personnel. Any loss or interruption of our key personnel's services could adversely affect our ability to develop our business plan. We have no employment agreements or life insurance on Mr. McCoy.
Colorado Law and Our Charter May Inhibit a Takeover of Our Company That Stockholders May Consider Favorable
Provisions of Colorado law, such as its business combination statute, may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our company. As a result, these provisions could limit the price some investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock.
Our Officers and Directors Have the Ability to Exercise Significant Influence Over Matters Submitted for Stockholder Approval and Their Interests May Differ From Other Stockholders
Our executive officers and directors have the ability to appoint a majority to the Board of Directors. Accordingly, our directors and executive officers, whether acting alone or together, may have significant influence in determining the outcome of any corporate transaction or other matter submitted to our Board for approval, including issuing common and preferred stock, appointing officers, which could have a material impact on mergers, acquisitions, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and the power to prevent or cause a change in control. The interests of these board members may differ from the interests of the other stockholders.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR OPERATION AS A
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT COMPANY
We May Change Our Investment Policies Without Further Shareholder Approval
Although we are limited by the Investment Company Act of 1940 with respect to the percentage of our assets that must be invested in qualified investment companies, we are not limited with respect to the minimum standard that any investment company must meet, neither are we limited to the industries in which those investment companies must operate. We may make investments without shareholder approval and such investments may deviate significantly from our historic operations. Any change in our investment policy or selection of investments could adversely affect our stock price, liquidity, and the ability of our shareholders to sell their stock.
Our Investments May Not Generate Sufficient Income to Cover Our Operations
We intend to make investments in qualified companies that will provide the greatest overall return on our investment. However, certain of those investments may fail, in which case we will not receive any return on our investment. In addition, our investments may not generate income either in the immediate future or at all. As a result, we may have to sell additional stock or borrow money to cover our operating expenses. The effect of such actions could cause our stock price to decline or, if we are not successful in raising additional capital, we could cease to continue as a going concern.

Based on an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the our management as of a date within 90 days of the filing date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.
Changes in Internal Controls. The Company has had to restate the fiscal year financials ending September 30, 2005 and subsequent financials for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, due primarily to the application of EITF 00-19. This is an indication of a material weakness in the reporting of financial data of the Company. The Company did not have the in house resources to address the derivative accounting requirements established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. This has been addressed by education of staff through continuing education and through consulting outside experts. Procedures for reviewing the document to be filed failed to catch certain errors and omissions. The Company has revised its review process and added additional reviewers to assure that the final document containing the financials fairly represents the Company’s financial position. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there is no certainty that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goal under all potential future considerations, regardless of how remote.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
CLX Investment Company, Inc.
Temecula, CA
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of CLX Investment Company, Inc. (the Company) as of September 30, 2005 and 2004 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), cash flows and changes in net assets and financial highlights for the year ended September 30, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As discussed more fully in Note 2 to the financial statements, investments and advances amounting to $299,010 (46% of net assets) at September 30, 2005 have been valued at fair value as determined by the Board of Directors. We have reviewed the procedures applied by the directors in valuing such securities and have inspected underlying documentation; while in the circumstances the procedures appear to be reasonable and the documentation appropriate, determination of fair values involves subjective judgment which is not susceptible to substantiation by auditing procedures.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2005 and 2004 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 7 to the financial statements, the Company has no significant operating results to date, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 7. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
As further discussed in Note 9 to the financial statements, the Company has restated the financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2005 to account for a derivative liability, to change the valuation of certain stock issuances, also to change an investment value.

(1) The Company agreed to extend a credit line of $350,000 to AVWI and was to receive up to 2,000,000 shares of restricted AVWI common stock on a pro-rata basis as consideration for providing the line of credit. The line of credit bears interest at an eight percent (8%) per annum and the principal and interest are due on December 31, 2008. The line of credit, plus accrued interest, shall be repaid the month following the third consecutive month in which ActionView International generates net income (EBIT) of at least $50,000. As of September 30, 2005, the Company had extended $100,000 on the line of credit and added $1,153 of interest for a total due of $101,153. As a result, ActionView has only issued 571,500 shares of its restricted common stock, which has been recorded at fair value of $0.10 per share as of September 30, 2005 based on the closing bid price on that date. The fair value of th e shares of AVWI at the date of the financing agreement was executed was $0.10 per share; therefore the Company recorded a cost basis of all shares received from AVWI at $57,150 (571,500 x $0.10). This value was recognized as interest income on the operating statement with subsequent changes to fair value being recorded as unrealized gains or losses. In September 2006, the Company was apprised of the fact that certain of the AVWI sales contracts on which financial projections had been based were invalid. While AVWI is trying to get valid sales contracts in place, we believe that there is substantial doubt that AVWI will continue as a going concern. The value of the credit line has therefore been valued at $0.00 to reflect the uncertainty that the debt will be repaid. |

(2) The Company purchased 49% of eStrategy for $62,080. As of September 30, 2005 the Company has advanced eStrategy $154,431 under an operating line of credit and added $6,256 of interest for a total of $160,687. The line of credit bears interest at an eight percent (8%) per annum and the principal and interest are due on December 31, 2007. In October 2006, the Company received payment in full on the credit line plus accrued interest through that time. In addition, the Company agreed to sell its equity interest in eStrategy for $62,080 to John Matthews, president of eStrategy, which represented fair market value. |
(3) The Company received 31% ownership in Zonda, Inc. for providing a $500,000 line of credit. The Company valued the original investment of Zonda at $0.00 based on its start up nature. As of September 30, 2005 the Company has advanced Zonda $19,000 under an operating line of credit and added $93 of interest for a total of $19,093. The line of credit bears interest at an eight percent (8%) per annum and the principal and interest are due on December 31, 2007. The line of credit, plus accrued interest, shall be repaid the month following the third consecutive month in which Zonda generates net income (EBIT) of at least $50,000. At September 30, 2005, the Company estimated the fair value of Zonda to be $0.00 based on the fact that the shares are restricted, there is no active market for its stock, it would be difficult to liquidate any of the shares, and Zonda was still considered a start up venture. The line of credit was not deemed impaired since the obligation is collateralized by the intangible assets of Zonda including patents, FDA submissions, product formulations, etc. Subsequent to September 30, 2005, Zonda commenced sales of its products and recorded over $250,000 in revenues. Based on these factors, the Company believes that the presentation of its Zonda investments represent the fair value at September 30, 2005. |

CLX INVESTMENT COMPANY, INC.
Notes to the Financial Statements
September 30, 2005, 2004 and 2003
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF ORGANIZATION
This summary of significant accounting policies of CLX Investment Company, Inc. is presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company's management who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. In the opinion of management, all adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements have been included. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
a)
Organization and Business Activities
The Company was incorporated on December 12, 1977 under the laws of the State of Colorado as Calvin Exploration Company, Inc. to engage in any lawful activity as shall be appropriate under laws of the State of Colorado. The Company was organized to engage in on-shore oil and gas exploration, development and production in the continental United States. In 1993 the name of the Company was changed to CLX Energy, Inc. Until 2004, the Company engaged solely in the acquisition, exploration, development and operation of oil and gas properties for its own account.
On May 24, 2004 the Company appointed new management and moved its headquarters to Temecula, CA. At the same time the Company formed CLX Oil & GAS, LLC a wholly owned subsidiary of CLX Energy, Inc. and transferred all of the oil and gas operations of the Company (including the assets and liabilities pertaining to such operations) into CLX Oil & Gas, LLC. On September 1, 2004 the Company sold 100% of its interest in CLX Oil & Gas, LLC to certain shareholders of the Company in exchange for shares of CLX Energy, Inc. The shareholders returned 1,433,552 shares in exchange for 100% interest in CLX Oil & GAS, LLC. The Board of Directors approved the "Securities purchase and Sale Agreement" and also obtained a fairness opinion from Lehrer Financial and Economic Advisory Service indicating that the Securities Purchase and Sale Agreement was a fair and equitable exchange. The sale of the subsidiary has been accou nted for as an asset sale transaction and all gas and oil operations are being reported as discontinued operations on the financial records.
On September 13, 2004, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission to become a Business Development Corporation as defined under the Investment Act of 1940. Additionally, on September 13, 2004, the Company registered an offering circular with the SEC for up to 500,000,000 shares of common stock under Regulation E of the Investment Act to raise capital and to make investments in eligible emerging or early-stage companies in various fields of business. In anticipation of the election to become a BDC, the Company on September 1, 2004 changed its name to CLX Investment Company, Inc. to properly reflect the nature of its business.
As a business development company ("BDC"), the Company is required to maintain at least 70% of its assets invested in "eligible portfolio companies", which are loosely defined as any domestic company which is not publicly traded or that has assets less than $4 million.
b)
Revenue Recognition
Prior to the discontinuation of operations on September 1, 2004 (See Note 6), the Company's revenue was created primarily from the sale of oil and gas. The Company recognized revenues the time of sale. Revenue was recorded at the completion of the sale and as the amounts were determined to be receivable.
The Company recognizes income and expense on the accrual basis of accounting. As a business development company, the Company will recognize revenues from several sources. Management fees will be recognized when earned, dividends from portfolio investments will be recognized when declared and interest income on loans to portfolio companies will be accrued and compounded quarterly. Fair value of investments based on stock received from financing agreements will be recognized as interest income. Increases and decreases in the market value of the Company's portfolio investments will be recognized as unrealized gains or losses until the time of disposition. See Note 2 for a discussion on the recognition methods of the Company for increases and decreases in the market value of the portfolio companies.
c)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
F-13
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2005 the company had $185,849 cash deposited in our checking account.
d)
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from the estimates.
e)
Fixed Assets
None
f)
Basic Loss Per Share
The computation of basic loss per share of common stock is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period of the financial statements. Fully diluted loss per share is not presented as any common stock equivalents are antidilutive in nature. Common stock equivalents consisting of convertible debt and preferred stock have not been included in the calculation of loss per share.

g)
Income Taxes
Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards and deferred tax assets are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
Net deferred tax assets consist of the following components as of September 30, 2005 and 2004:
| | | | 2005 | | 2004 |
Deferred tax assets: | | | | | |
NOL Carryover | | $ | 322,000 | $ | 199,800 |
Deferred tax liabilities: | | | | | |
Valuation allowance | | | (322,000) | | (199,800) |
Net deferred tax asset | | $ | - | $ | - |
The income tax provision differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the U.S. federal income tax rates of 39% to pretax income from continuing operations for the years ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 due to the following:
F-14
| | | | |
| | 2005 | | 2004 |
Book income | $ | (362,129) | $ | (9,405) |
Other | | 122 | | (312) |
Beneficial Conversion | | 284,380 | | |
Unrealized gains | | (44,573) | | |
Valuation allowance | | 122,200 | | 4,296 |
Stock for services | | - | | 5,421 |
| $ | - | $ | - |
At September 30, 2005, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $872,000 that may be offset against future taxable income from the years 2006 through 2026. No tax benefit has been reported in the September 30, 2005 financial statements since the potential tax benefit is offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount. Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carryforwards for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur, net operating loss carryforwards may be limited as to use in future years.

During the year ended September 30, 2005, the Company adopted the following accounting pronouncements:
SFAS No. 123 -- In December 2004, FASB issued a revision to SFAS 123 “Share-Based Payment”. This Statement is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. This Statement supersedes APB Opinion No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and its related implementation guidance. This Statement establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. This Statement focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. This Statement does not change the accounting guidance for share-based payment transactions with par ties other than employees provided in Statement 123 as originally issued and EITF Issue No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services.” This Statement does not address the accounting for employee share ownership plans, which are subject to AICPA Statement of Position 93-6,Employers’ Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans. The adoption of this revision did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
SFAS No. 153 -- In December 2004, FASB issued SFAS 153 “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets—an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29”. The guidance in APB Opinion No. 29,Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions, is based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. The guidance in that Opinion, however, included certain exceptions to that principle. This Statement amends Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. The adoption of SFAS 153 did not have any impact on the Company’s financial statements.
SFAS No. 152 -- In December 2004, FASB issued SFAS 152 “Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 66 and 67”. This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 66,Accounting for Sales of Real Estate, to reference the financial accounting and reporting guidance for real estate time-sharing transactions that is provided in AICPA Statement of Position (SOP) 04-2,Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions. This Statement also amends FASB Statement No. 67,Accounting for Costs and Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Projects, to state that the guidance for (a) incidental operations and (b) costs incurred to sell real estate projects does not apply to real estate time-sharing transactions. The accounting for those operations and costs is subject to the guidance in SOP 04-2. This Statement is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Compa ny does not believe adoption of SFAS 152 will have any impact on the Company’s financial statements.
SFAS No. 151 -- In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 151 “Inventory Costs—an amendment of ARB No. 43”. This Statement amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, “Inventory Pricing,” to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). Paragraph 5 of ARB 43, Chapter 4, previously stated that “. . . under some circumstances, items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and re-handling costs may be so abnormal as to require treatment as current period charges. . . .” This Statement requires that those items be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of “so abnormal.” In addition, this Statement requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The provisions of thi s Statement shall be effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company does not believe adoption of SFAS 151 will have any impact on the Company’s financial statements.
F-15
SFAS No. 150 -- In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.” This new statement changes the accounting for certain financial instruments that, under previous guidance, issuers could account for as equity or classifications between liabilities and equity in a section that has been know as “mezzanine capital.” It requires that those certain instruments be classified as liabilities in balance sheets. Most of the guidance in SFAS 150 is effective for all financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003. The adoption of SFAS 150 did not have any impact on the Company’s financial statements.
SFAS No. 149 -- In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” SFAS 149 amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities under SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. This Statement is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, with certain exceptions, and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003, with certain exceptions. The adoption of SFAS 149 did not have any effect on the Company’s financial statements.
SFAS No. 46 -- In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (FIN 46), which addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities. FIN 46 clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements”, to certain entities in which equity investors do not have the Characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN 46 applies immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and to variable interest entities in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. It applies in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, to variable interest entities in which an enterprise holds a variable interest that it acq uired before February 1, 2003. The Company has not identified and does not expect to identify any variable interest entities that must be consolidated.
FASB Interpretation No. 45-- “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others – an Interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57 and 107”. The initial recognition and initial measurement provisions of this Interpretation are to be applied prospectively to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The disclosure requirements in the Interpretation were effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002. The adoption of FASB Interpretation No. 45 did not have a material effect on the financial statements of the Company.
During the year ended September 30, 2004, the Company adopted the following Emerging Issues Task Force Consensuses: EITF Issue No. 00-21 “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables”, EITF Issue No. 01 –8 “ Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease”, EITF Issue No. 02-3 “Issues Related to Accounting for Contracts Involved in Energy Trading and Risk Management Activities”, EITF Issue No. 02-9 “Accounting by a Reseller for Certain Consideration Received from a Vendor”, EITF Issue No. 02-17, “Recognition of Customer Relationship Intangible Assets Acquired in a Business Combination”, EITF Issue No. 02-18 “Accounting for Subsequent Investments in an Investee after Suspension of Equity Method Loss Recognition”, EITF Issue No. 03-1, “The Meaning of Other Than Temporary and its Application to Certain Instruments”, EITF Issue No. 03-5, “Applicability of AICPA Statement of Position 9702, ‘Software Revenue Recognition’ to Non-Software Deliverables in an Arrangement Containing More Than Incidental Software”, EITF Issue No. 03-7, “Accounting for the Settlement of the Equity Settled Portion of a Convertible Debt Instrument That Permits or Requires the Conversion Spread to be Settled in Stock”, EITF Issue No. 03-10, “Application of EITF Issue No. 02-16 by Resellers to Sales Incentives Offered to Consumers by Manufacturers. These newly issued accounting pronouncements had no effect on the Company’s current financial statements and did not impact the Company.

NOTE 2 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
As of September 30, 2005, the Company had investments in three portfolio companies. Each of the portfolio companies qualifies as an “eligible” portfolio investment as defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940. As a result, the Company’s investment portfolio meets the Act’s requirement that at least 70% of the Company’s assets be invested in eligible companies.
As required by ASR 118, the Board of Directors of the company is required to assign a fair value to all investments. To comply with Section 2(a)(41) of the Investment Company Act and Rule 2a-4 under the Investment Company Act, it is incumbent upon the board of directors to satisfy themselves that all appropriate factors relevant to the value of securities for which market quotations are not readily available have been considered and to determine the method of arriving at the fair value of each such security. To the extent considered necessary, the board may appoint persons to assist them in the determination of such value, and to make the actual calculations pursuant to the board's direction. The board must also, consistent with this responsibility, continuously review the appropriateness of the method used in valuing each issue of security in the company's portfolio. The directors must recognize their responsibilities in this matter and whenever technical assistance is re quested from individuals who are not directors, the findings of such intervals must be carefully reviewed by the directors in order to satisfy themselves that the resulting valuations are fair.
No single standard for determining "fair value...in good faith" can be laid down, since fair value depends upon the circumstances of each individual case. As a general principle, the current "fair value" of an issue of securities being valued by the board of directors would appear to be the amount which the owner might reasonably expect to receive for them upon their current sale. Methods which are in accord with this principle may, for example, be based on a multiple of earnings, or a discount from market of a similar freely traded security, or yield to maturity with respect to debt issues, or a combination of these and other methods. Some of the general factors which the directors should consider in determining a valuation method for an individual issue of securities include: 1) the fundamental analytical data relating to the investment, 2) the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the securities, and 3) an evaluation of the force s which influence the market in which these securities are purchased and sold. Among the more specific factors which are to be considered are: type of security, financial statements, cost at date of purchase, size of holding, discount from market value of unrestricted securities of the same class at time of purchase, special reports prepared by analysis, information as to any transactions or offers with respect to the security, existence of merger proposals or tender offers affecting the securities, price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable companies, and other relevant matters.
The board has arrived at the following valuation methodology for its portfolio investments:
All portfolio investments shall be carried on the books at “fair market value.”
Where market values can be readily determined via stock quotations in a reasonably liquid market, the fair market shall be based on the quoted bid price on the day of calculation.
Fair market value shall be determined on at least a quarterly basis. Where there are material changes in portfolio operations, fair market value shall be re-examined as such material changes occur. In the event the stock trading price is within 10% of Net Book Value, and the Company wishes to sell stock, fair market value shall be calculated on a monthly basis to ensure that stock is not sold below NBV.
Where there is not a readily available source for determining the market value of any investment, either because the investment is not publicly traded, or is thinly traded, the Board of Directors shall analyze the following factors, where available, for determining fair market value:
§
Total amount of the Company’s actual investment. This amount shall include all loans, purchase price of securities, and fair value of securities given at the time of exchange.
§
Total revenues for the preceding twelve months
§
Total revenues for the preceding five years
§
Historic earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation for each of the past five years
§
Estimate of likely sale price of investment
§
Bona fide purchase offers from third parties
§
Net assets of investment
§
Likelihood of investment generating positive returns (going concern)
§
Financial projections for coming 24 months
F-17
§
Independent appraisal reports
§
Budget to actual performance reports
The value of the loans and lines of credit shall be adjusted down if there is a reasonable expectation that the Company will not be able to recoup the investment or if there is reasonable doubt about the investment’s ability to continue as a going concern. In order to assess impairment of loan value, the portfolio investment’s budget to actual performance criteria shall be evaluated along with 12 month financial projections. Additionally, where available, the Board shall review other relevant factors affecting repayment including historical cash flows, material contracts, collateral, debt maturity, alternate financing resources, etc.
NOTE 3 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company executed a note payable on June 21, 2005 with Arthur Stone, a member of the board of directors, for $10,000. The note bears interest at ten percent (10%) per annum and is due on June 21, 2006. The Company also owes Arthur Stone $1,000 for board fees.
NOTE 4 - CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES
During the year endedSeptember 30, 2005, the Company issued $696,888 of convertible debentures of which $135,000 was used to retire previously issued debentures and the balance, was used to support operations and for investment into portfolio companies. The debentures were issued with terms of 120 days, accrued interest at 8% per annum, and converted at a discount of 50% of the closing bid for the Company's common stock on the date of conversion. During the year ended September 30, 2005, the Company converted $70,000 of convertible debentures issued into 9,334,996 shares of common stock. The Company recorded a beneficial conversion expense of $696,888 during this fiscal year. As of September 30, 2005, the Company had $425,888 in convertible debentures issued and outstanding.
The Company does not considerthe convertible debentures to be “Senior Securities” as defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940 since, at the Company’s option, the obligation can be converted into common stock thus placing the debentures on a parity with common stock. The Company is required to maintain net asset to Senior Security coverage of 200%. If convertible debentures were deemed to be “Senior Securities” the Company’s coverage would be negative, resulting in an out of compliance condition. Subsequent to September 30, 2005, the Company restructured $200,000 of the debentures into promissory notes bearing interest at 8% per annum and due December 19, 2007. These debentures were convertible into stock but the holder, Michael Chavez, gave up the right to convert the debentures into stock and took a promissory note for the amount of $200,000 and will not have any future ability to convert the debt into stock. The balance of $225,888 was converted into 22,588,800 shares of common stock. Such shares of stock are being held in escrow for the benefit of the debenture holder, Sequoia International, with the right to vote such shares being retained by the Company’s Board of Directors. As a result of this transaction, the Company presently has net asset coverage of 200% on senior securities as required by the Act.
NOTE 5 - EQUITY TRANSACTIONS
Stock Options:
During the 1994 fiscal year the Company adopted an employee incentive stock option plan that provides for the issuance to employees, including officers, of up to 10 percent of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock in accordance with the plan. Under this plan, options are exercisable at market price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant, have a term of ten years and are earned over a five-year period. During the year ended September 30, 2005, all outstanding stock options were retired.

Common Stock:
On September 2, 2004, the Company received back 1,911,743 shares of the company from certain stockholders in exchange for all of the units of CLX Oil and Gas, LLC. The shares were subsequently cancelled leaving a total of 1,597,130 shares of common stock outstanding after the transaction.
During 2004, the Company purchased, without recourse, a $10,000 receivable from an unrelated third party in exchange for an equivalent amount of common stock. During 2005, after numerous unsuccessful attempts to collect the receivable, the Company elected to write off the account as bad debt. The Company issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock to retire the debt.
During the year ended September 30, 2005, the Company issued a total of 51,831,454 shares of common stock for cash of $312,100 and the extinguishment of debentures totaling $506,888. The common stock was issued under an exemption from registration pursuant to Regulation E. The shares sold pursuant to the Company’s offering circular under Regulation E were sold by the Company’s officers without the assistance of any broker dealers. No advertising or general solicitation was employed in offering these shares. Each purchaser received a copy of the Company’s offering circular.
On February 1, 2005 the Company issued 4,000,712 shares of restricted common stock for $15,000. At the time of the sale, this price represented a 50% discount from the closing bid price. Of the shares sold, 2,667,141 shares were sold to unaffiliated third parties and 1,333,571 shares were sold to the Company’s then Chief Executive Officer on terms equivalent as those offered to the third parties.
The Company issued a stock dividend wherein shareholders of record on September 30, 2005 were issued one share of common for every three shares owned. The Company accounted for this as though it were a stock split and all references to common stock have been retroactively stated.
Preferred Stock:
On February 1, 2005, the Company issued 9,000,000 shares of preferred stock designated Series A Preferred to an unaffiliated third party as part of a $500,000 debt financing commitment. The Series A Preferred stock was convertible into common stock on a 1:1 basis and had the ability to appoint two Directors to the Company’s Board. On August 8, 2005, the Company and the Series A Preferred holder mutually agreed to cancel the Series A Preferred since there was concern that the convertible nature of the Series A could violate certain provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940. As a result, 8,900,000 shares of Series A Preferred stock were cancelled. The remaining 100,000 shares of Series A Preferred were converted into 100,000 shares of newly designated Series B Preferred that has, as its only preference, the ability to appoint two Directors to the Company’s Board. On all other matters, the Series B Preferred votes with the common stock on a share for share basis. The Series B Preferred is not convertible.

NOTE 7 - GOING CONCERN
The Company's financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the relation of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has generated a loss of $1,064,644 for the year ended September 30, 2005.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company’s current liabilities exceed their current assets and the Company has been dependent upon financing to continue operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Subsequent to September 30, 2005, the Company commenced receiving repayment on a credit line extended to one of its portfolio investments. In addition, approximately $220,000 in short-term debt was converted into common stock. As a result, subsequent to September 30, 2005, the Company’s current assets exceeded current liabilities.
On September 13, 2004, the Company elected to report as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. As a Business Development Company, the Company can sell up to $5,000,000 in common stock every twelve months under an exemption from registration. Also on September 30, 2004, the Company filed a notification with the SEC that it intends to sell all $5 million of this Regulation E exemption. From September 30, 2004 through September 30, 2005, the Company raised $393,100 from the sale of Reg. E common stock, of which $81,000 related to the issuance of stock on the conversion of debentures.
F-20
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependant upon its ability to successfully seek out and consummate investments, or to secure other sources of financing such that it may commence profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 8- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company signed an administrative agreement with Javelin Advisory Group to provide administrative support and facilities for a flat fee of $10,000 per month. The company also has a consulting agreement with an independent contractor for $2,500 per month. Both contracts expire May 31, 2007. The following table identifies the minimum financial obligation of these contracts for the next five years:

The Company has advanced money against lines of credit to all three of its portfolio companies. The Company has committed to advance a total of $1,100,000 on these lines of credit of which it had advanced $184,626 as of September 30, 2005. Subsequent to September 30, 2005, an additional $198,218 was advanced leaving a balance of $717,156 that can be drawn against. The Company’s obligation to provide further advances are based on the portfolio companies cash requirements, meeting certain operational milestones, and adhering to budgets.
NOTE 9 –PRIOR PERIOD ADJUSTMENTS
Application of EITF 00-19
During the year ended September 30, 2006, the Company determined that the accounting treatment of convertible debentures previously issued had failed to consider the impact of applying EITF 00-19 in recording the liability associated with certain derivative instruments.
Because the convertible debentures previously issued by the Company were convertible into such number of shares of common stock of the Company equal to the amount of debt being converted divided by some pre-determined fraction of the closing bid price of the stock on the date of conversion, the number of shares to be issued on conversion was variable. As a result, the embedded conversion option required liability classification under EITF 00-19. The Company previously recorded all convertible debentures under EITF 00-27, where a beneficial conversion cost associated with the convertibility feature of the security that equals the value of any discount to market available at the time of conversion was recorded at the time the convertible security was first issued.
In accounting for derivatives under EITF 00-19, the Company is required to record a liability representing the estimated present value of the conversion feature considering the historic volatility of the Company’s stock, and a discount representing the imputed interest associated with the beneficial conversion feature. The discount is then amortized over the life of the debentures and the derivative liability is adjusted periodically according to stock price fluctuations.
The accompanying financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2005 have been restated to effect the changes described above. The impact of the adjustments related to the classification of and accounting for the conversion features are as follows:
Balance Sheet: A derivative liability of $495,073 was added to current liabilities. Additional Paid-In Capital was reduced $396,888 and a discount on convertible debentures of $162,538 was recorded.
Statement of Operations: A loss on derivative liability of $98,185 and interest expense of $333,350 were recorded.
F-21
Write off of Bad Debt
During 2006, the Company became apprised that one of its portfolio investments, ActionView, Inc., had a material purchase order contract that was fraudulent. The basis of this contract had formed the primary motivation behind the Company’s decision to invest in ActionView. Without this contract, the Company is doubtful of ActionView’s ability to repay the credit line extended. As a result, the Company has written off the credit line receivable from ActionView and eliminated the interest income for all periods presented. This resulted in a reduction of Advances on Credit Lines and an increase in Retained Deficit of $101,153 as of September 30, 2005.
Interest Expense
During the year ended September 30, 2005, the Company converted out certain debentures at a discount slightly higher than that prescribed in the debenture agreements. Originally, the Company recorded the discount on debentures as Beneficial Conversion Cost at the time the debentures were issued; however, no adjustment was made at the time of conversion based on the actual number of shares issued on conversion. The Company recorded additional expense of $42,170 at September 30, 2005 to account for this discrepancy.
Reclassifications
The Company previously reported Advances on Credit Lines – Non Affiliates of $280,933 as a current asset as of September 30, 2005. Of this amount, $101,153 was written off to bad debt as described above. The balance of $179,780 was reclassified as Advances on Credit Lines – Affiliates and moved to the Investments section of the Balance Sheet. Further, Investments-Non Affiliates of $62,080 was reclassified as Investments-Affiliates.
Summary Impact
Collectively, the impact of the adjustments and reclassifications had the following impact on the financial statements as of September 30, 2005:
Balance Sheet:
Current Assets were reduced $280,933
Discount on Debt was increased $162,538
Current Liabilities increased $495,073
Additional Paid-in Capital decreased $354,718
Retained Deficit increased $78,970
Income Statement:
Derivative Loss recorded of $98,185
Interest Expense recorded of $376,520
Beneficial Conversion reduced $496,888
Bad Debt Expense recorded of $101,153
NOTE 10 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Subsequent to the year ended September 30, 2005, the Company issued 22,888,800 shares of unrestricted common stock for the conversion of $231,588 of convertible debt. In addition, the Company issued 250,000 shares of stock under Regulation E in exchange for cash of $4,500.
On December 5, 2005, the Company restructured $200,000 in convertible debentures into promissory notes payable October 1, 2006 and bearing interest at the rate of $8% per annum. As a result, this portion of the Company’s convertible debentures has been classified as long-term debt as of September 30, 2005.
Subsequent to September 30, 2005, the Company made additional investment into its portfolio companies. Details of such additional investment are as follows:

On October 3, 2006, the Company received $189,153 as payment in full on the credit line plus accrued interest from eStrategy Solutions, Inc. In addition, on that same date, the Company agreed to sell its entire equity position in eStrategy to John Matthews, president of eStrategy, for $62,080. This amount represented the fair value of the stock since there had been no recorded increase or decrease in value since the time of acquisition.
In September 2006, the Company was notified by AVWI that certain sales contracts to provide advertising billboards in China had been forged. While AVWI is trying to get valid sales contracts in place, we believe that there is substantial doubt that AVWI will continue as a going concern. The value of the credit line has therefore been valued at $0.00 as of September 30, 2005 to reflect the uncertainty that the debt will be repaid.
