PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
THE COMPANY
DeMarco Energy Systems of America, Inc. (or, "DeMarco Energy "), provides energy
solutions for commercial and residential applications. We sell a highly
efficient heating/cooling system called the "Energy Miser". The Energy Miser is
a patented geothermal heat pump system utilizing the municipal water main or any
other underground piping loop to heat, cool and provide domestic hot water for
buildings. Based on the results from our limited prototype installations and a
Department of Energy study, we believe these heat pumps are from 30% to 70% more
efficient than other methods for heating and air conditioning (See "Business").
Monthly operating costs are significantly lower than other methods.
In two of our initial prototype installations in South Dakota, the Energy Miser
reduced the annual energy cost to air condition and heat a facility by 36% at
one location and 72% at the other site. Since our inception we have installed
eleven of our Energy Miser systems in five states (See "Business"). We do not
have baseline information from the other installations from which we can measure
reductions in energy consumption because they are new installations. We cannot
assure you that a specific percentage savings will occur in future installations
of our system.
We derive our revenue in the form of royalties from sales of the Energy Miser
system. We have an exclusive brand name agreement with Florida Heat Pump
Manufacturing Inc. ("FHP") located in Florida. FHP manufactures the units,
labels them with the DeMarco Energy Miser name and sells them through their
existing dealer/distributor network. Since the origination of this agreement
(September 14, 1990) to date there have been a minimal number of units sold. We
believe this lack of sales was due to distributors and dealers not having
adequate engineering instruction manuals in order to demonstrate or promote the
system to prospective customers. In August of 2000, we completed the engineering
manual and have developed a marketing and promotion program that introduces the
manual to FHP's sales representatives and distribution network (See "BUSINESS").
The mailing address of our principal executive office is P.O. Box 201057,
Austin, Texas 78720-1057 and the telephone number is (512) 335-1494.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our Common Stock is speculative and involves a substantial
degree of risk. Investors should carefully consider, along with other
information in this Prospectus, the following considerations and risks in
evaluating an investment in our Common Stock. You should not purchase any Common
Stock unless you can afford to lose your entire investment.
WE HAVE A LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY AND HAVE NEVER BEEN PROFITABLE. Since our
inception in 1983 up to the date of this Prospectus our revenues have been
almost non-existent. We own a patent for our Energy Miser cooling/heating system
and we anticipate generating revenue in the form of royalty fees for the sale of
these systems. If future sales do not occur, investors in our common stock will
likely lose their entire investment.
WE HAVE ACCUMULATED A DEFICIT AND ANTICIPATE FUTURE LOSSES. From inception
through December 31, 2000, we had generated immaterial revenues and had an
accumulated deficit in the amount of $2,732,879. The products scheduled for
manufacturing and distribution will require significant marketing expenditures
that, together with projected general and administrative expenses, may cause
operating losses for the near future. If operating losses continue, shareholders
could lose their entire investment.
WE WILL NEED ADDITIONAL FUNDING AND TO DATE WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO RAISE
SIGNIFICANT FUNDS THROUGH TRADITIONAL CAPITAL MARKETS. We are in the process of
issuing a series of convertible debentures because we have found it difficult to
sell our common stock as a means to raise funds for expansion (See "Liquidity
and Capital Resources"). However, we will need to seek additional capital
through public or private sales of our securities, including equity or debt
securities, in order to fund our activities on a long-term basis. We may not be
able to obtain adequate funds, whether through financial markets or
collaborative arrangements with strategic partners or from other sources, on
acceptable terms when needed. If we are successful in raising additional
capital, investors and shareholders could face substantial dilution of their
investments.
OUR DEBT-HOLDERS HAVE A SECURITY INTEREST IN ALL OF OUR ASSETS. In September
2000 we agreed to issue $1,500,000 in 10% Secured Convertible Debentures. These
Debentures are secured by virtually all of the Company's assets and intellectual
property. If we default upon the repayment terms of these debentures, our assets
would become subject to foreclosure and it would be very difficult to remain a
going concern.
OUR BUSINESS IS DEPENDENT ON ACCEPTANCE BY GOVERNMENT REGULATORS. A significant
obstacle confronted by DeMarco Energy in the marketing of the Energy Miser has
been governmental interpretation and regulation. In most instances, we need to
be able to interface with public water supplies in order for our customers to
receive the benefits of our system. Some government regulators have been
resistant in allowing us to tap into public water mains for fear of
contamination of the water. We believe such fears are unfounded but if
government constraints continue it will limit the markets we can compete in and
our shareholders would be adversely affected (See "Government Regulation").
OUR ENERGY MISER SYSTEM, WHICH IS THE BASIS OF OUR BUSINESS, COULD EXPIRE BEFORE
WE COULD GAIN MARKET ACCEPTANCE. We only have approximately five years remaining
on our patent for our Energy Miser system. Our patent expires in September 2005.
In addition, the technology involved under this patent for the Energy Miser
system could become obsolete due to government regulations, manufacturing cost
constraints, new innovations created by competitors or any other reason. Should
this technology become unmarketable, our operations and financial condition will
be adversely affected.
WE FACE STRONG COMPETITION THAT WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO OVERCOME. Our Energy Miser
system has many competitors, many of whom are large with well-known brands and
manufacture their own systems. Some of our larger competitors include Trane,
Carrier, York and Dunn & Bush. These competitors use cooling tower boiler
applications that we believe are inferior to our municipal water geothermal
applications, but because of the relative
7
8
financial strength of these competitors, we may not be afforded the opportunity
to demonstrate the advantages of our system over competitors' systems and as
such, sales will not materialize and shareholder investments could be lost.
WE ARE DEPENDENT ON OUR PRESIDENT AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND NEED TO HIRE
ADDITIONAL KEY EMPLOYEES. Our operations are dependent on Victor DeMarco,
President, Chief Executive Officer and a significant shareholder. We have no
Chief Financial Officer or other executive officers. If Mr. DeMarco were to
expire or become incapacitated, there is currently no successor who could
execute our business plan.
WE DO NOT HAVE ADEQUATE MARKETING AND SALES EXPERIENCE AND OUR FUTURE SUCCESS
WILL IN PART BE BASED ON OUR ABILITY TO HIRE EMPLOYEES WITH ADEQUATE BACKGROUNDS
IN THESE AREAS. We will need to recruit qualified personnel and representatives
for the purpose of marketing our Energy Miser system. If we are unsuccessful in
attracting qualified personnel we will not be able to increase sales
significantly and we will remain unprofitable.
IF OUR PRODUCTS FAIL WE COULD BECOME SUBJECT TO PRODUCT LIABILITY CLAIMS, FOR
WHICH WE ARE NOT ADEQUATELY INSURED. If we develop and install our products, we
may be exposed to product liability claims. We might also be required to
indemnify manufacturing affiliates against any product liability claims incurred
by them as a result of products developed by us under agreements with these
affiliates. We currently do not carry adequate product liability insurance. If
we experience an uninsured or inadequately insured product liability claim, our
business and financial condition as well as investor value would be materially
adversely affected.
OUR COMMON STOCK PRICE COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED UPON CONVERSION OF THE
CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES. If our debenture holders elect to convert their debt
into shares of our common stock at a substantial discount to the market price at
the time of conversion, which they are entitled to do, the market price of our
stock could decrease dramatically and adversely affect the value of our current
and future shareholders' investments. If due to decreases in our stock price our
debenture holders are able to convert their debentures into the number of shares
registered pursuant to this registration statement, our outstanding shares would
double.
FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
From time to time, we or our representatives have made or may make
forward-looking statements, orally or in writing. Such forward-looking
statements may be included in, but not limited to, press releases, oral
statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer or in
various filings made by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Words or
phrases "will likely result", "are expected to", "will continue", "is
anticipated", "estimate", "project or projected", or similar expressions are
intended to identify "forward-looking statements". Such statements are qualified
in their entirety by reference to and are accompanied by the above discussion of
certain important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially
from such forward-looking statements.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of Common Stock by the Selling
Stockholders.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The financial information set forth in the following discussion should be read
in conjunction with, and qualified in its entirety by, the financial statements
of DeMarco Energy included elsewhere herein.
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION

OVERALL OPERATING RESULTS:
Fiscal year ended June 30, 2000 compared to fiscal year ended June 30, 1999:
We had net royalty revenues of $22,000 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000.
Prior year royalty revenues were $3,000. We anticipate that increased marketing
efforts in the future will generate ample revenues to sustain the anticipated
growth of DeMarco Energy. Marketing expenses for the current fiscal year
amounted to approximately $39,000. Prior year marketing expenses were
approximately $11,000.These expenses were incurred primarily in the development
of the Energy Miser Engineering Manual. It is anticipated that the development
and distribution of this manual will aid sales representatives in their
presentations to prospective customers and therefore lead to increased sales of
our systems. In addition, we expect to see increased revenue upon the initiation
of the PG&E Energy Services (now a subsidiary of Chevron Corporation), contract
with the Council of Governments in Washington, D.C. (See "Recent Developments").
We can give no assurances that such sales will occur. Operating expenses and
interest expenses increased $27,000 or 10% to $293,000 as compared to the prior
year expenses of $266,000. The primary areas where expenses increased were in
legal fees, which increased to $36,000 for the current year as opposed to
$14,000 for the prior year. These fees were incurred in connection with the
recent patent application and in registering our securities pursuant to the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in November 1999. Other expense items which
increased during the current year were accounting fees incurred with the audit
of our financials. These fees were $21,000 for the current period as compared to
$11,000 for June 1999. We also increased expenditures for advertising from
$2,000 in 1999 to $27,000 for 2000. These expenses were for updating our
advertising brochures. Travel also increased from $12,000 for the prior year to
$27,000 for the current period. These travel expense increases were incurred in
conjunction with attending more trade shows and evaluating acquisition
prospects.
Other income was $0 for the current year as compared to $10,000 for the prior
year. In the prior year we paid $50,000 earnest money to an acquisition target
for exclusive rights to negotiate the acquisition. The contract provided for
full refund of the earnest money, secured by the accounts receivable of the
target company, if the acquisition could not be completed. The acquisition was
never completed, and we exercised our right to a refund of the earnest money.
Ultimately, we collected $60,000 as refund of the earnest money which included
$10,000 as reimbursement of expenses which was included in other income.
We incurred a net loss for the current fiscal year of $271,000 as compared to a
net loss of $187,000 from continuing operations for the prior fiscal year. We
continue to closely monitor expenses and anticipate focusing our expenditures on
marketing efforts for the foreseeable future. The prior year loss includes a
one-time gain of $66,000, included in extraordinary items, for the forgiveness
of debt owed to the former majority shareholder, Louis DeMarco. The loss from
continuing operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999 would have been
$253,000 if that gain had been excluded.
One sale was completed during the first quarter of fiscal year 2000. The U.S.
Government authorized the Marine Air Station in Beaufort, South Carolina to
purchase the DeMarco Energy Miser heating and cooling system and employ the
base's water main. The gross sale for the system was $220,000, and during the
second quarter of calendar year 2000, we received royalty compensation of
$21,906. DeMarco Energy and FHP have previously agreed to a standard royalty fee
of twenty percent, however, under certain circumstances, and with our prior
approval, this fee may be negotiated as part of the bidding process. The
Beaufort, South Carolina installation was subject to such negotiation. The sales
process for this installation site from bid notification until contract award
required approximately one year. The sales process for the Energy Miser systems
can range from as little as one month to as much as two years based on our prior
experience.
Three months ended September 30, 2000 compared to three months September 30,
1999:
We had no sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 or the comparable prior
year quarter ended September 30, 1999. Operating expenses and interest expenses
increased $66,000 or 120% to $122,000 as compared to the prior year quarter
expenses of $55,000. Expenses increased primarily due to legal and consulting
fees of $45,000
9
10
that were incurred with the recent placement of $1,500,000 of our 10% Secured
Convertible Debentures (See "Liquidity and Capital Resources") and travel
expenses incurred in connection with attending trade shows in order to expand
marketing efforts. Travel expenses were $8,000 for the current quarter as
compared to $1,000 for the prior year quarter.
Three months ended December 31, 2000 compared to three months December 31, 1999:
We had no royalty revenue for the quarters ended December 31, 2000 and December
31, 1999. Other income of $900 for the current quarter was interest income
earned on our money market account. Operating expenses for the December 31, 2000
quarter were $177,000 as compared to $49,000 for the comparable quarter in 1999.
The primary expense categories with the largest increases during the quarter
ended December 31, 2000, as compared to the quarter ended December 31, 1999,
were as follows:
o Accountants fees increased $5,000 for a total of $6,000 for the
quarter. These fees were incurred in connection with our annual audit.
o Advertising was $33,000 for the quarter which represents an increase of
$23,000 over the prior year quarter. This increase was part of our
continuing plan to increase our product exposure.
o Travel expenses were $17,000 for the quarter as compared to $0 for the
prior year. These expenditures were incurred in attending trade shows.
o Legal and professional fees increased $23,000 to a total of $25,000.
These fees were incurred in connection with the current SB-2 filing and
the filing of our annual 10KSB and quarterly filing of our 10QSB as
well as for general corporate matters
o Our payroll for the quarter was $43,000, which represents an increase
of $30,000 over the prior year. We added a vice president of sales
during the quarter and an administrative assistant.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:
We have recently been financed through a private equity offering that ended
during the third quarter of 1999 and a convertible debenture offering that began
in the first quarter of 2000, and have been supported in the interim by loans
from our President and Chief Executive Officer, Victor DeMarco.
DeMarco Energy completed a convertible debenture debt offering of $229,000 (see
"BUSINESS") that began in January 2000 and concluded in August 2000. The
proceeds were utilized for repayment of accounts payable and operating expenses.
On September 26, 2000, we entered into an agreement with AJW Partners, LLC. and
New Millennium Capital Partners II, LLC. (the "Debenture Holders") for the
private placement of $1,500,000 of our 10% Secured Convertible Debentures. These
debentures are convertible into shares of the Common Stock of DeMarco Energy
based on the terms listed below. The funding of the debentures will occur in two
phases. The first $500,000 (less legal expenses of $25,000 and consulting fees
of $20,000) was received by us on September 27, 2000. The remaining $1,000,000
will be funded within 30 days following the effective registration with the
Securities and Exchange Commission of the underlying shares of our common stock.
We anticipate utilizing the funds as follows:
o Legal fees incurred with the private placement $ 25,000
o Consulting incurred with the private placement 20,000
o Paying outstanding accounts payable 50,000
o New Company video for advertising 19,000
o New Company brochure and logo 10,000
o Updating supplies with new logo 5,000
o New engineering manual 10,000
o Updating the Company website 25,000
o Ongoing attorney's fees 25,000
o 3 months operating expenses 61,000
o Marketing efforts 450,000
o Set aside for potential acquisitions 800,000
----------
Total $1,500,000

11
The aforementioned $1,500,000 of convertible debentures is a part of term sheet
agreement with AJW Partners, LLC. and New Millennium Capital Partners II, LLC.
which calls for up to a total of $8,000,000 of convertible debentures to be
issued over a one year period ending on September 1, 2001. The term sheet
agreement is not binding on either party and additional purchases of our
convertible debentures will be based on a mutually agreeable use of proceeds
from the sale of these debentures.
The primary terms of the September 2000 Convertible Debentures are as follows:
- - Entire principal amount will mature on September 26, 2001.
- - Debentures bear 10% interest per annum with interest payments due
quarterly. Interest to be paid in cash or shares of Common Stock at the
option of the debenture holders.
- - The debenture holders have the option to convert any unpaid principal and
accrued interest into shares of our Common Stock at any time after the
original issue date (subject to certain limitations).
- - The conversion price per share in effect on any conversion date shall be
the lesser of (1) $0.34 per share or (2) 60% of the average of the lowest
three inter-day trading prices during the ten trading days immediately
preceding the applicable conversion date.
- - The debentures bear a mandatory prepayment penalty of 130% of the principal
and all accrued interest being prepaid.
- - The debentures are secured by all unpledged assets of DeMarco Energy,
including our current and pending patents.
- - DeMarco Energy is required to file a SB-2 Registration Statement with the
Securities and Exchange registering 200% of the Common Stock underlying the
debentures.
The Secured Convertible Debenture Purchase Agreement, the DeMarco Energy Systems
of America, Inc., 10% Secured Convertible Debenture, the Security Agreement, the
Intellectual Property Security Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, and
the Escrow Agreement were all filed electronically as Exhibits to the Securities
and Exchange Commission Form 8-K filed with the Commission on October 11, 2000.
We are exploring the possibility of acquiring a company that would be
complementary to our current operations. We believe that the acquisition of a
small energy design engineer firm would be very beneficial to our operations. We
are currently looking for such a company in the Washington, D.C. area which
would complement our involvement with the PG&E Energy Services contract (See:
"Recent Developments"). Another potential area for acquisitions would be small
lighting retrofit organizations. Most projects on which we have bid in the past
and plan on bidding in the future usually encompass both lighting retrofit and
air conditioning and heating components in order to maximize the reduction in
energy consumption. However, at this point we have not identified or contacted
any one specific company regarding acquisition possibilities other than the
contact with Lighting Management Consultants (See: "Recent Developments"), which
has been put on hold at this time.
We had negative working capital of $382,000 at June 30, 2000 as compared to
negative working capital of $87,000 at the end of the prior fiscal year end June
30, 1999. This increase in negative working capital is primarily the result of
the funding of operations to date.
We had an unrestricted cash balance of $6,000 at December 31, 2000 as compared
to a cash balance of $23,000 at June 30, 2000. We also have $250,000 of cash
being held in escrow pending a successful registration of the common stock
offered by this prospectus. This decrease in unrestricted cash balances was
caused by our funding of operations for the current six-month period out of the
partial proceeds we received from the convertible debenture offering. We
anticipate that with the complete funding of the debentures we will be able to
substantially increase
11
12
our marketing presence for the foreseeable future. We cannot assure you that
these efforts will have the desired effect of increasing sales.
We had negative working capital of $527,000 at the end of December 31, 2000 as
compared to negative working capital of $382,000 at the end of the prior fiscal
year end, June 30, 2000. This decrease in negative working capital is primarily
the result of increasing our current debt through the partial funding of the
Secured Convertible Debentures in September 2000.
Variations in shareholder/insider debt (other than the issuance of the
convertible debentures) are attributable to the settlement of the estate of
Louis DeMarco, the prior majority shareholder, and the dissolution of Cyberlink
Systems, Inc., a former subsidiary of DeMarco Energy (See:"BUSINESS"). Cyberlink
ceased doing business in March, 1998 and was officially dissolved in June, 2000.
DeMarco Energy continues to honor the outstanding obligations of Cyberlink which
consisted of a $100,000 line of credit and 4 leases on various computer
equipment. At this point, we have paid off the line of credit but still have
approximately $50,000 remaining on the computer equipment leases. We continue to
utilize the computer equipment under these leases. There have not been any
defaults on these obligations to date.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
We have adopted FASB Statement 128. It is not expected that we will be impacted

BUSINESS
GENERAL
DeMarco Energy Systems, Inc., a Texas corporation, was founded by Mr. Louis
DeMarco, father of Victor DeMarco, our current Chairman, President and Chief
Executive Officer and began operations in June 1983. On November 17, 1989 Mr.
DeMarco, as an individual, acquired a majority interest in Fountain Head, Inc.,
a public shell corporation with shareholders but no operations. We completed a
reverse merger with this shell on December 1, 1989, thereby becoming a publicly
traded corporation, and changed the name of our company to DeMarco Energy
Systems of America Inc., a Utah corporation.
From 1978 to 1982 (prior to the formation of DeMarco Energy Systems, Inc.) Louis
DeMarco designed and sold solar energy panels to the commercial and residential
markets. The panels were manufactured by Glasstron Boat Manufacturing. This
phase of the business was discontinued and sold to a third party in 1982, prior
to the
12
13
formation of our company, when the Federal Government ceased the tax credits
that were allowed for this type of energy conservation. Mr. DeMarco and two
engineers, who became employees of DeMarco Energy, then began working on the
concept of an energy efficient geothermal heat pump. They received a systems
patent on September 3, 1985 that was later assigned to DeMarco Energy Systems,
Inc. in December 1989 in exchange for 10,396,790 shares of our common stock. Of
these issued shares, Mr. Victor DeMarco, received 4,900,000 shares from his
father. The remaining shares were issued to Mr. Louis DeMarco for the rights to
the patent. The patent revolves around the interface with a municipal water main
and has three basic components. The first is taking water out of the municipal
water main and running it through a heat exchanger and returning the water to
the municipal water main. Secondly, the water running through a heat exchange
device; and third that heat exchange device being an integral part of a
geothermal heat pump. Our patent consists of all three of these components
connected together in a specific series. The patent is, therefore, primarily an
installation technology. This patent will expire on September 3, 2005.
From 1986 to 1990, we had an exclusive licensing agreement with an Oklahoma
manufacturer that resulted in very few sales. That agreement was terminated in
1990 due to lack of marketing activity from that entity.
On September 14, 1990 we entered into an exclusive brand name licensing
agreement with FHP. This agreement gives FHP the exclusive rights to
manufacture, distribute, market and sell the Energy Miser system with the
DeMarco Energy Miser label on the products. This agreement is still in force but
can be terminated at any time by either party with 60 days notice. We have had
minimal success under this agreement from inception to date. We believe there
are at least three (3) reasons for this lack of sales. The primary reason has
been the reluctance of various government agencies to allow us to tap into
municipal water mains for fear of contamination of the potable water (public
drinking water) (See "Government Regulation"). Another has been our lack of
sufficient operating capital to properly develop a solid marketing campaign to
promote our systems and gain exposure to potential customers. And the last
reason has been the need for an adequate engineering manual to assist sales
representatives and dealers to understand the intricacies of the system and give
them a visual method to promote our products to potential consumers. We now have
that manual completed and ready for distribution (See "The Company" and "Recent
Developments").
We have filed a second patent application with the United States Patent office.
This patent is for an invention that relates to heat pumps that are
automatically thermodynamically balanced to operate at optimum conditions using
water, and in this case reuse water systems. This patent, while similar to our
current patent, was designed to utilize reuse water from private, public or
other types of managed secondary water lines with the DeMarco Energy Miser
heating and cooling system. Reuse water is defined as treated sewer water that
falls below the standards of drinking water. For many years, reuse water has
been used in secondary water systems for watering lawns and charging fire
hydrants, as well as other non-potable water applications. It has only been in
recent years that the secondary water systems have been given greater
consideration due to water shortages. If this patent is granted we believe that
government agencies will be much less reluctant to allow us to tap into reuse
water mains, although we can give no assurances that they will be receptive. We
have received initial comments from the Patent Office and have replied to those
comments. We are currently waiting for any further responses from that office
regarding this patent application.
In July 1996, we founded Cyberlink Systems, Inc. ("Cyberlink"), a whollyowned
subsidiary. Cyberlink which was organized to refurbish and market used computer
components such as computer monitors and printers. Due to the continued decline
in costs of new computer equipment our profit margins eroded and continuing to
operate became unfeasible. Cyberlink ceased doing business in 1998. All
activities regarding Cyberlink were wound down over the next year and it was
dissolved in June 2000. (See "Liquidity and Capital Resources").
We currently compete in the heating and cooling market, and primarily in the
geothermal heat pump segment. Within this business segment we market, sell and
(1) install heating and cooling systems during construction of new facilities,
and (2) install heating and cooling systems in existing facilities replacing
less efficient, antiquated, or inoperable systems.
13
14
From inception to date we have had a total of eleven installations of our Energy
Miser system in five states. A summary of these installations follows:
o Beaufort Marine Air Station
Beaufort, SC

We donated the patent for this installation. It came about through
donations from the state of South Dakota, the city of Pierre, as well
as several private groups. We were in return granted the right to
showcase this installation. We used this installation in one of our
first advertising videos.
o Hermiston Movie Theater
Hermiston, OR
55 Tons

This system was installed under the same terms as the Hermiston Movie
theater listed above.
o Monroeville Water Authority
Monroeville, PA
10 Tons
Installed 1984
This was our first municipal water heat pump installation. This system,
including the unit was donated by DeMarco Energy.
We have faced government agency constraints in the past in allowing us access to
public water mains. We have spent an inordinate amount of time and effort over
the past years in lobbying state and local government agencies to enact
legislation to change water codes and rules to allow access to that market. We
believe our product does not impose a health or any other risk on the potable
water supply. The United States Department of Energy ("DOE") completed a study
of the effects of geothermal water pumps connected to potable water mains and
released the results in April 1998. The title of their report is "Municipal
Water-Based Heat Pump Heating and/or Cooling Systems". Their findings on the
water quality tests included the following: "From the limited number of
installations that were sampled in the two states, it appears from the data that
such systems have limited detectable impact on water quality, biological growth,
metal concentration, and residual chlorine." The DOE study also concluded that
geothermal heat pumps were 50% to 70% more energy efficient than other types of
systems.
Despite our lobbying efforts and the DOE study, to date there has been very
little done by government agencies to enact the above described legislation. As
a result, we have refocused our marketing efforts toward entities that either
own or control their own water systems. Entities and institutions where we are
concentrating our efforts include military bases, school systems, state or city
owned buildings, federal facilities, and large campus type facilities, such as
colleges. These types of facilities utilize large quantities of water and in
several instances control their own water system. We have had prior successes,
though limited in scope, with military installations. We also believe smaller
communities with less stringent government bodies and regulations will be good
prospects for our energy saving products.
We have had inadequate capital in the past in order to mount a viable marketing
plan for our product. Through past sales of our convertible debentures we have
been able to produce updated brochures, an engineering manual, and have updated
our website. In February 2001 we will provide FHP with these materials. FHP has
verbally
15
16
agreed to do a mass mail out of our materials to their nationwide sales force.
We initially intend to hire internally up to three national sales
representatives to call on all members of the FHP sales force to educate them as
to the benefits offered by the Energy Miser system.
We have also prepared a marketing presentation of the Energy Miser system which
targets Energy Service Companies (ESCOs). ESCOs are subsidiaries of large power
companies that market their power services to large energy usage clients such as
federal buildings. Some of the power companies that have these ESCO subsidiaries
include Reliant, Northern States Power, Duke and Southern California Edison.
Some other corporations that also have ESCOs include Johnson Controls, Honeywell
and Chevron. The creation of ESCOs stemmed from a federal mandate signed in 1993
by President Clinton called the Climate Change Action Plan. It basically
mandates that all federally owned facilities save 30% of their total energy
consumption by the year 2010. ESCOs offer performance contracting for projects
generally greater than $10 million, most of which require retrofitting heating
and cooling systems. ESCOs implement systems that provide the greatest
percentage of energy reduction to maximize savings benefits and focus on the
shortest return on investment cycle. We cannot assure you that the marketing
program will produce the desired results of substantially increasing revenues or
profitability.
PRODUCTS
The DeMarco Energy Miser Heating and Cooling System
The Energy Miser is a patented geothermal heat pump system utilizing the
municipal water main or any other underground piping loop to heat, cool and
provide domestic hot water for buildings. Based on the results from our limited
prototype installations and a DOE study, we believe these heat pumps are from
30% to 70% more efficient than other methods for heating and air conditioning
(See "Business"). Monthly operating costs are significantly lower than other
methods.
A traditional heat pump system transfers energy to and from outside air.
Geothermal heat pumps normally use the heat absorbing, or heat supplying,
capacity of large bodies of water such as lakes, ponds, water wells or specially
constructed networks of pipe called ground loops. The requirements for a "large
body of water" as the external source or the costly excavating required for the
heat pump, imposes three constraints on anyone wanting to take advantage of the
system. The first is the need to be located near such a body of water if a
natural source is going to be used. The second is the added expense of drilling
a water well. The third is the need for enough property to accommodate the
underground installation of several hundred feet of plastic pipe.
The Energy Miser system is a geothermal heat pump system that uses water to
provide the thermal energy needed to heat and cool. Our system is different in
that it utilizes municipal water mains, reused water or any other managed water
supply. There is no need for ground loops, wells, chillers, cooling towers or
boilers. We believe this makes the Energy Miser system much more viable for the
consumer market. Although some government regulators and others have expressed
concerns about the integrity of the water, we believe the concerns are unfounded
because the water simply passes through a double walled plate heat exchanger
with no chance of contamination and is returned to the water source with only a
slight temperature change.
The Energy Miser system has to date (pending the outcome of the second patent
application for the utilization of reuse water sources) only utilized potable
water systems as demonstrated within several military bases, as well as other
commercial and institutional applications nationwide. If the patent for the
utilization of reuse water is approved we believe we will have greater success
in gaining acceptance from government regulators as their concerns over
contamination of the potable water supply will be lessened. These reuse water
sources are controlled at the municipal level and we intend to launch marketing
efforts in cities using or proposing to implement reuse water systems. Although
we anticipate an increase in revenues if the reuse water patent is approved
there can be no assurances that such marketing efforts will have their intended
effect of increasing revenues or profitability.

Energy Efficient Lighting Systems
We have not been involved in energy efficient lighting systems in the past,
however, we have recognized the need to either acquire an entity that is or
joint venture with such an entity. We have found that most projects that we are
bidding on for our air conditioning and heating systems also require the
installation of energy efficient lighting. We believe that by combining the
bidding process for both types of energy saving services we can generate
additional sales revenues. However, we cannot assure you that such additional
sales will occur.
We have signed a Strategic Partnership agreement with Lighting Management
Consultants (LMC) in Houston, Texas. The agreement provides for forthcoming
lighting projects awarded to DeMarco to be performed by LMC within their
geographic business environment. This agreement was signed on December 20, 1999
and will continue in force until terminated by either party with 60 days written
notice. All projects that are in place at the time of termination will be
completed by LMC. LMC will be responsible for all aspects of the lighting
project including performing energy audits, preparing the lighting bids and
completing the installation per the terms of the project requirements. We will
receive 5% of the revenue generated from all accepted bid contracts.
Additionally, we have entered into a Strategic Partnership with SLi, Inc.
(NYSE:SLI), which provides for SLi to perform lighting retrofit and energy
management services for DeMarco awarded contracts outside the parameters, scope
and geography of the LMC partnership. This agreement was signed May 19, 2000 and
contains the same termination and responsibility provisions as the LMC
agreement. As of the date of this prospectus there have been no sales generated
from these agreements.
In commercial facilities, lighting typically represents 30 to 40 percent of a
commercial facility's energy consumption. By reducing the kilowatts used for
lighting, utility costs can be reduced. Efficient lighting systems can reduce
consumption by as much as 50 percent, without reducing lumens.
The lighting retrofit services may be offered as a combined package with the
DeMarco Energy Miser system, creating a marketing/sales program based upon
return on investment time parameters. Sub-contractors generally located within
the geographic region of the project perform lighting retrofit installations.
These sub-contractors are identified, recruited and managed by DeMarco's
partners. As of the date of this prospectus, we have not initiated sales efforts
for lighting products.
On June 27, 2000, we signed a letter of intent to acquire Lighting Management
Consultants. Terms of the acquisition included cash and stock for one hundred
percent of the equity in LMC. Because of the results of financing and certain
conditions arising from the negotiations of the acquisition, both parties to the
letter of intent have agreed to place on hold and revisit the acquisition
discussions in 2001.
MARKETING AND COMPETITION
We market and sell our Energy Miser system through a brand name partnership
agreement with FHP, of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, and via exposure through the
Geothermal Heat Pump Consortium. The Geothermal Heat Pump Consortium is a
consortium of over 80 of the largest utilities in the United States. A majority
of the heat pump manufacturers deal with the Environmental Protection Agency
("EPA"). These utilities and manufacturers have formed what is called the
Geothermal Heat Pump Consortium or Geo Exchange based in Washington, D.C. This
is our industry association. It provides a constant source of leads and
technical papers and research materials. DeMarco and FHP focus primarily on the
commercial and institutional markets. We display the Energy Miser at trade shows
in booths for public exhibition and education. In addition to trade shows, we
market the Energy Miser directly to end users, architects, designers and
installers of HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) equipment. The
market for HVAC equipment and installation exceeds $10 billion (according to the
Markintel Report, an InvesText market research firm in Boston, MA.) annually and
is expected to eclipse $17.5 billion (Markintel Report) by year-end 2002. In
this business segment, we are in competition with all other producers of HVAC
systems, most of which are more firmly established in the marketplaces and have
substantially greater financial resources than us.

A commercial job will typically start at the AE (Architectural Engineering)
design level. They will design a certain type of system requirement for the
project. Once this has been accomplished the mechanical engineers will actually
do the computer design and draw blueprints. Then the General Contractor will
request three (3) different bids on the equipment. If our system technology fits
within the requirements of the job, FHP's sales representatives will be
contacted and asked to bid the equipment portion of the project. We have a
standardized price for the equipment although in certain cases, especially in
military projects, it may be necessary to negotiate the price to be
competitive. In those instances we will negotiate the royalty fees and cut the
cost of the equipment slightly to aid us in getting the project.
On October 10, 2000, we retained the services of Marschall Design, a
fifteen-year-old corporate image consulting company. Marschall will assist us in
our marketing efforts. Marschall anticipates that the new media materials will
be available for release in February of 2001. Marschall will assist with
brochures, tradeshow display, stationery, web design plus any other areas
requiring image design and enhancements.
PWG Media of Austin, Texas has been retained by us to build an effective
corporate visual program. An eight-minute video describing the Energy Miser
system became available in December of 2000. Marschall and PWG have worked
together in the past to assist each other and their clients with image design
and image conveyance measures.
We have budgeted approximately $400,000 for marketing efforts for the next 12
months. The areas we have targeted for these expenses are as follows:
o Brochures, letterhead and new logo $10,000
o Media 19,000
o Marketing Vice-President 83,000
o Sales engineer 75,000
o Public relations 65,000
o Trade shows 60,000
o Printing and direct mail 40,000
o Advertising and video 48,000

Total $400,000
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
A significant obstacle we have confronted in the marketing of the Energy Miser
is local governmental interpretation and regulation. Local water regulations
vary from one local government agency to the next but most are centered around
concern over contamination of the local potable water supply. The Energy Miser
requires a constant flow of water, the volume of which must increase as the
amount of space to be air conditioned and or heated increases. For many
applications, this requires connecting into the public water supply to gain
access to "main" water lines. In some cases public officials in charge of
maintaining public water supplies challenge any such tapping into the public
potable water supply. We contend that the Energy Miser does not use water - it
only uses the thermal properties of the water, meaning that the water removed
from the main is returned at a slightly different temperature. We are not aware
of any proof to support water quality concerns of public officials (See the DOE
report under "Business"). However, we can offer no assurances that we will ever
be able to overcome the concerns of public water officials.
At the federal level there has been some positive impact from government
relations. President Clinton signed the Climate Change Action Plan in 1993. This
required all federally owned facilities to save 20% of their total energy
consumption by 2005. That act has been revised twice, and, as of 1999, federal
facilities were required to save 35% of their total energy consumption by 2010.
This is a federal mandate. Most of the military and federal buildings have not
met this goal. We believe most of the military and federal facilities are
continuing to attempt to
18
19
find ways to save energy. We further believe our technology has the ability to
save the government facility that energy percentage requirement just by changing
to our air conditioning and heating system technology. On the negative side, the
federal government does not have any regulations (i.e. the EPA or federal
plumbing codes). There are no federal codes drawn around the use of municipal
water for this purpose, which means we are subject to the varying local laws.
According to information obtained from the City of Austin, Texas web site
(http://www.ci.austin.tx.us/wri/waterreuse.htm), secondary water systems have
been used for more than twenty years, and recently became the initiative of
approximately 2,000 communities throughout the United States. Currently, more
than 1,500 cities worldwide employ this technology as a water conservation
measure. Secondary water systems provide water treated to a standard less than
that of potable water, and referred to as either reuse, gray, or brown water.
This water type is used for applications other than human or animal consumption,
such as cooling towers and boiler systems, lawn sprinklers and fire prevention.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
The Counsel of Governments in Washington, D.C. has awarded a contract estimated
to be worth over $1 billion over the life of the program to PG&E Energy Services
(an Energy Services Company, or ESCO (NYSE:PCG)), whose bid included the DeMarco
Energy Miser for geothermal heating and cooling systems for upgrades and
retrofits. PG&E Energy Services division was recently acquired by Chevron Energy
Solutions division (NYSE:CHV). PG&E Energy Services management has confirmed
that our contract was conveyed in the sale and we have received confirmation
from Chevron of their acceptance of this conveyance. The billion dollar estimate
was calculated from retrofitting 154 public schools, 4000 HUD homes, plus
government owned facilities throughout the jurisdiction of the Counsel of
Governments.
We have estimated that the heating and cooling portion of this contract could
represent up to $50,000,000 in sales of our systems for FHP (the manufacturer of
the Energy Miser) if our bids are accepted, with our portion of the royalties
ranging from $5,000,000 to $10,000,000. Work on the contract has been
rescheduled to begin as early as the spring of 2001. We have received
confirmation from Chevron that they want to use our technology at the water
treatment facility in Washington D.C. and we will be making a presentation in
the first quarter of calendar year 2001 to the Counsel of Governments to give
them a better understanding of the benefits of our Energy Miser system.
The Counsel of Governments includes municipalities and local governments
surrounding Washington, D.C., which may include the public school systems in
several counties and municipalities as well as public housing authorities. Other
agencies that may become users of this program, greatly expanding the scope and
business potential, include agencies of the Federal Government and other
municipalities outside of the immediate Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.
DeMarco Energy has also been invited to bid lighting portions of the project
from the ESCO.
During the eight-month period from January through August 2000, we issued a
series of convertible debentures bearing 8% interest. A total of $229,000 was
raised from this issuance. The debentures mature in 24 months from the time of
issue. Interest payments are calculated quarterly and totaled upon conversion
and included in the stock distribution. The debentures carry various conversion
rights ranging from $0.10 to $0.45 a share. The holders have the right to
convert any or all of the principal into our common stock at any time after the
first 12 months from issuance. If all debenture holders elect to convert, we
will issue approximately 1.2 million shares of our common stock to the holders
and be relieved of the debt. We utilized the proceeds of these convertible
debentures to reduce accounts payable and for operating expenses.
We are currently finalizing a convertible debt offering of $1,500,000 (see
"MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS") that will be
directed toward acquisitions, marketing, internal corporate infrastructure
development, and/or general administrative expenses. We received the first
$500,000 from this debt offering on September 27, 2000.

On November 28, 2000, we in conjunction with the O'Connor Company of Rapid City,
South Dakota were issued the design-win for the DeMarco Energy Miser heating and
cooling system. The system will be installed in the Community Center in Belle
Fourche, South Dakota. This is a community center that includes an olympic size
pool, a basketball court, locker rooms, meeting rooms, and a 200 seat
auditorium.
The 67,000 square foot facility has an estimated heating and cooling equipment
sales price of $106,000, which does not reflect installation costs. We
anticipate receiving our standard royalty payment of approximately 20% of the
sales price during first quarter of the calendar year 2001. The first purchase
order for 3 of the 18 units has been issued, and the remaining 15 units will be
ordered within 30 - 60 days. FHP will be manufacturing the units.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are not a party to any material legal proceedings, and no material legal
proceedings have been threatened by or, to the best of our knowledge, against
us.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
We occupy approximately 1,200 square feet of office space at 12885 Hwy 183,
Suite 108-A, Austin, Texas 78750. We own no property other than office
furniture, equipment, software and the patent for the Energy Miser System.
EMPLOYEES
We currently employ 4 full time people. It is anticipated that up to 20
additional personnel will be required to meet the demands of the projected
market over the next five years. Most of these positions will be added in the
areas of sales, marketing and project management as our projected volume
increases. We cannot assure you that such volume increases will occur.

There are currently no outstanding options or warrants to purchase shares of our
stock.
(1) Shares issuable upon conversion of 10% Secured Convertible Debentures
assuming a conversion price of $0.138 per share. (See "Selling
Stockholders").
SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
On September 26, 2000, AJW Partners, LLC and New Millennium Capital Partners II,
LLC purchased an aggregate of $1,500,000 of 10% Convertible Debentures to
purchase, respectively, a total of 5,434,782 and 5,434,782 shares of common
stock from us in a private placement transaction. Of the $1,500,000 invested,
$1,000,000 will be received upon effectiveness of this registration statement
and satisfaction of certain conditions.
The debentures are convertible into shares of our common stock, at the option of
the holder at any time and from time to time after the date when the debentures
were issued, at a conversion price equal to the lower of (i) $0.34 per share and
(ii) 60% of the average of the lowest three inter-day trading prices of our
common stock during the ten trading days preceding the date of conversion.
Interest on the debentures is payable on a quarterly basis on March 31, June 30,
September 30 and December 31 of each year while such debentures are outstanding
and on each date of conversion, whichever occurs earlier. Interest may be paid,
at the holder's option, in cash or common stock. Any debentures outstanding on
October 26, 2001, automatically convert into shares of our common stock at the
then applicable conversion price. The debentures are redeemable under certain
circumstances as stated in the Convertible Debenture.
Each holder of the debenture may not convert its securities into shares of our
common stock if after the conversion, such holders together with any of its
affiliates, would beneficially own over 4.999% of the outstanding shares of our
common stock. This restriction may be waived by each holder on not less than 61
days notice to us. Since the number of shares of our common stock issuable upon
conversion of the debentures will change based upon fluctuations of the market
price of our common stock prior to a conversion, the actual number of shares of
our common stock that will be issued under the debentures, and consequently the
number of shares of our common stock that will be beneficially owned by AJW
Partners and New Millennium Capital Partners cannot be determined with certainty
at this time. Because of this fluctuating characteristic, we agreed to register
a number of shares of our common stock that exceeds the number of our shares of
common stock currently beneficially owned by AJW Partners and New Millennium
Capital Partners. The number of shares of our common stock listed in the table
below as being beneficially owned by AJW Partners and New Millennium Capital
Partners includes the shares of
22
23
our common stock that are issuable to AJW Partners and New Millennium Capital
Partners subject to the 4.999% limitation, upon conversion of their debentures.
However, the 4.999% limitation would not prevent AJW Partners and New Millennium
Capital Partners from acquiring and selling in excess of 4.999% of our common
stock through a series of conversions and sales under the debentures.
The following table sets forth the name of each person who is offering shares of
common stock by this prospectus, the number of shares of common stock
beneficially owned by each person, the number of shares of common stock that may
be sold in this offering and the number of shares of common stock each person
will own after the offering, assuming they sell all of the shares offered.
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with SEC rules and generally
includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. Common shares
that are issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options, warrants,
convertible Preferred Stock or other purchase rights, to the extent exercisable
within 60 days of the date of this Prospectus, are treated as outstanding for
purposes of computing each Selling Stockholder's percentage ownership of
outstanding common shares.

(3) Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement between us and the debenture
holders, we are required to register such number of shares of common stock
equal to the sum of 200% of the number of shares of common stock issuable
upon conversion in full of their debentures, assuming for such purposes
that all interest is paid in shares of our common stock, that the
Debentures are outstanding for one year and that such conversion occurred
at a price equal to the lesser of (a) $0.34 and (b) 60% of the average of
the lowest three inter-day prices (which need not occur on consecutive
trading days) during the ten trading days immediately preceding the closing
date.
All unsold securities being registered in this Registration Statement will be
removed from registration by means of a post-effective amendment.
CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
Mr. Victor DeMarco, our controlling shareholder and Chief Executive Officer and
sole director had loaned us approximately $99,000 to cover certain indebtedness
of ours which he had personally guaranteed. We recorded a note payable to him
for that amount. On September 29, 2000, Mr. DeMarco converted this debt into
1,650,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.06
per share.
23
24
Mr. Peter Des Camps, the former Senior Vice President of Corporate Development
also serves as President and Chief Executive Officer for Lead Capital Ventures
("LCV"), a private investment company formed in 1999. LCV paid a debt of DeMarco
Energy in the amount of $20,000 and acquired the Common Stock conversion rights
associated with that debt. The conversion rights were at $0.15625 per share
which resulted in 133,333 shares of Common Stock being issued to LCV. This
transaction occurred on September 29, 2000. This debt was originally in the form
of a $50,000 convertible debenture issued to a current shareholder on March 10,
1999. We had paid the debt down to the $20,000 balance via 2 cash payments
totaling $16,719 in May and August 1999 and the issuance 85,000 shares of our
Common Stock in April 1999 at a conversion price of $0.15625 per share (a value
of $13,281 per the terms of the debenture). The debenture holder individually
contacted Lead Capital Ventures and Mr. Des Camps to purchase the remaining
$20,000 balance of the debenture. LCV agreed to purchase this debt for $20,000
in cash and we agreed to the transfer. We did not participate in or encourage
this transaction. To our knowledge, no other individuals were contacted or had
an offer presented to purchase this debt.
Mr. DeMarco's conversion price of $0.06 was based on the lowest market offer
price for shares of the Common Stock during the prior year and was more
favorable to Mr. DeMarco than could have been obtained from unaffiliated third
parties. LCV's conversion price of $0.15625 was based on the conversion terms of
the debenture.
DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
COMMON STOCK
We are authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, of which
24,814,747 shares are issued and outstanding as of February 1, 2001. Holders of
shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared
by the Board of Directors from assets legally available for that purpose and are
entitled at all meetings of stockholders to one vote for each share held by
them. The shares of Common Stock are not redeemable and do not have any
preemptive or conversion rights. All of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
are fully paid and non-assessable. In the event of a voluntary or involuntary
winding up or dissolution, liquidation, or partial liquidation of DeMarco
Energy, holders of Common Stock shall participate, pro rata, in any distribution
of our assets remaining after payment of liabilities.
Our capital stock is subject to the "penny stock" rules as defined in Rule
3a51-1 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. The penny stock disclosure
requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity of
our common stock in the secondary market.
Pursuant to the Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990 ("PSRA"), prior to effecting any
transaction in any penny stock, a broker or dealer is required to give the
customer a risk disclosure statement the content of which is to include the
following:
a. A description of the nature and level of risk for the market.
b. A description of the nature and level of the risk in the
market for penny stocks.
c. A brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market,
including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the
significance of a spread between bid and ask prices.
d. A toll free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary
actions relating to security violators.
e. A definition of significant terms used in the Risk Disclosure
Document or in the Conduct of Trading in Penny Stock.
24
25
f. Such other information as the SEC shall require by rule or
regulation.
The Penny Stock Reform Act also directed the SEC to adopt rules requiring
broker/dealers, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, to
disclose in connection with the transaction the following:
a. The bid and ask prices for the penny stock.
b. The number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply,
or other comparable information relating to the depth and
liquidity of the market for such stocks.
c. The amount and a description of any compensation the
broker/dealer and associated persons will receive in
connection with the transaction.
d. Such other information as the SEC by rule determines to be
useful and reliable information relating to the price of such
stock.
The disclosure scheme under the PSRA has three related layers designed to
inform investors of the extraordinary risk associated with investments in the
penny stock market. The first layer requires a broker/dealer prior to the
initial transaction in a penny stock with the customer to furnish the
customer with a Risk Disclosure Document including, among other things, a
description of the penny stock market and how it functions, its inadequacies
and shortcomings, and the risk associated with investments in the penny stock
market. The second layer consists of transaction related documents that the
broker/dealer must make available prior to effecting a transaction in penny
stocks, including quotation information, the dealer's and salesperson's
compensation in connection with the transaction. Finally, the customer must
be furnished with a monthly statement including prescribed information
relating to market and price information concerning the penny stocks held in
the customer's account.
The Risk Disclosure Document (RDD) is a generic disclosure document that must
be given to the customer by a broker/dealer before the initial transaction
with the customer of a penny stock whether the transaction is in connection
with the distribution of a security or a trading transaction. The
broker/dealer must receive, and preserve as part of his records a written
acknowledgment of receipt of the document from the customer prior to
effecting a transaction in a penny stock.
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
The articles of incorporation of DeMarco Energy limit the personal monetary
liability of our directors to the fullest extent permissible under the
corporation laws of Utah. In general, Section 16-10a-841 of the Utah Revised
Business Corporation Act (the URBCA"), permits the elimination of personal
monetary liability in all cases except liability for: (a) the amount of a
financial benefit received by a director to which he is not entitled; (b) an
intentional infliction of harm on the corporation or the shareholders; (c) a
violation of Section 16-10a-842 of the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act
(relative to distribution of assets in violation of the URBCA or of our articles
of incorporation); or (d) an intentional violation of criminal law.
Except as set forth in the articles of incorporation and under the provisions of
the URBCA, no statute, charter provision, bylaw, contract or other arrangement
which indemnifies any controlling person, officer or director of DeMarco Energy,
affects or limits their liability.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of a small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable.

MARKET FOR COMMON STOCK
The Common Stock is traded in the over-the-counter market and quoted on OTC EBB
under the symbol "DMES" and quoted in the pink sheets published by the National
Quotations Bureau. Since 1990, from time to time, a very small number of
securities broker-dealers published only intermittent quotations for the Common
Stock, and there was no continuous, consistent trading market. The trading
volume in the Common Stock has been and is extremely limited. During the above
period, the limited nature of the trading market created the potential for
significant changes in the trading price for the Common Stock as a result of
relatively minor changes in the supply and demand for Common Stock and perhaps
without regard to our business activities. Because of the lack of specific
transaction information and our belief that quotations during the period were
particularly sensitive to actual or anticipated volume of supply and demand, we
do not believe that such quotations during this period are reliable indicators
of a trading market for the Common Stock.
As of September 30, 2000, there were approximately 1,500 holders of record of
our Common Stock.
TRANSFER AGENT
The transfer agent for our Common Stock is Fidelity Transfer Company, 1800 South
West Temple, Salt Lake City, Utah 84115.
Subject to the above limitations, we believe that during the ten fiscal quarters
preceding the date of this filing, the high and low sales prices for the Common
Stock during each quarter are as set forth in the table below (such prices are
without retail mark-up, mark-down, or commissions). The sales prices were
obtained from the stock sales history charts from the on-line stock quote site
quicken.com. Quicken quotes are provided by S&P Comstock Historical information
supplied by Iverson Financial Systems.

We have not paid any dividends to date. We can make no assurance that our
proposed operations will result in sufficient revenues to enable profitable
operations or to generate positive cash flow. For the foreseeable future, we
anticipate that we will use any funds available to finance the growth of our
operations and that we will not pay cash dividends to stockholders. The payment
of dividends, if any, in the future is within the discretion of the Board of
Directors and will depend on our earnings, capital requirements, restrictions
imposed by lenders and financial condition and other relevant factors.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Selling Stockholders and any of their pledgees, assignees and
successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares
of Common Stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the
26
27
shares are traded or in private transactions. Our Common Stock is currently
traded on the Over The Counter Bulletin Board. These sales may be at fixed or
negotiated prices. The Selling Stockholders may use any one or more of the
following methods when selling shares:
o ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the
broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
o block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares
as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as
principal to facilitate the transaction;
o purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the
broker-dealer for its account;
o an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable
exchange;
o privately negotiated transactions;
o short sales;
o broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a
specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
o a combination of any such methods of sale; and
o any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
Short Sales are sales of a security not owned by the seller; a technique used to
take advantage of an anticipated decline in the price of a security. An investor
borrows stock certificates for delivery at the time of short sale. Covered short
sales are to buy back securities previously sold; said of an investor who has
sold stock short. Naked short sales are a securities position that is not hedged
from the market risk. The potential risk or reward of naked positions is greater
than that of covered positions. Naked short sale positions are closed when the
short position held by the investor is sold and the investor no longer holds a
short position.
The Selling Stockholders may also engage in short sales against the box, puts
and calls and other transactions in our securities or derivatives of our
securities and may sell or deliver shares in connection with these trades. The
Box is the physical location of securities or other documents held in
safekeeping. The term derives from the large metal tin, or tray, in which
brokerage firms and banks actually place such valuables. A Put is a type of
option that grants the right to sell at a specified price a specific number of
shares by a certain date. The put option buyer gains this right in return for
payment of an option premium. A put option buyer hopes the stock will drop in
price, while the put option seller hopes the stock will remain stable, rise, or
drop by an amount less than his or her profit on the premium. A Call is a type
of option that grants the right to buy 100 shares of a particular stock or stock
index at a predetermined price before a preset deadline, in exchange for a
premium.
The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the
Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
The Selling Stockholders may pledge their shares to their brokers under the
margin provisions of customer agreements. If a Selling Stockholder defaults on a
margin loan, the broker may, from time to time, offer and sell the pledged
shares. The Selling Stockholders have advised us that they have not entered into
any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriters or
broker-dealers regarding the sale of their shares other than ordinary course
brokerage arrangements, nor is there an underwriter or coordinating broker
acting in connection with the proposed sale of shares by the Selling
Stockholders.
27
28
Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other
brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions
or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as
agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be
negotiated. The Selling Stockholders do not expect these commissions and
discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.
The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in
selling the shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the
Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions
received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the
shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or
discounts under the Securities Act.
We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the
shares, including fees and disbursements of counsel to the Selling Stockholders.
We have agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses,
claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

The validity of the issuance of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby has
been passed upon for us by Locke Liddell Sapp LLP, Austin, Texas.

Report of Independent Auditors
To the Board of Directors of DeMarco Energy Systems, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of DeMarco Energy Systems, Inc.
as of June 30, 1999 and June 30, 2000, and the related statements of income and
retained earnings, and cash flows for the year then ended. 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 generally accepted auditing standards.
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 provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of DeMarco Energy Systems, Inc. as
of June 30, 1999 and June 30, 2000, respectively, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations
DeMarco Energy Systems, Inc. (the Company) was organized under the laws of the
State of Utah in 1983. The Company is primarily engaged in the process of
investigating business opportunities that appear to have profit potential for
the Company. Primary emphasis is being placed on the DeMarco Energy System
water-air heating/cooling systems, energy audits and energy related equipment
such as lighting and electrical fixture retro-fittings.
During 1989, the Company exchanged 10,396,790 shares of its stock for exclusive
rights to a United States patent. The patent was granted for a unique
water-source heat pump system that both heats and cools buildings and provides
domestic hot water at an extremely low cost to install and operate. The heat
pump is specifically designed to utilize municipal water systems as a heat
source/sink. Florida Heat Pump Manufacturing Co. manufactures the DeMarco Energy
Miser System under a patent licensing agreement.
During the fiscal year ending June 30, 1999, the Company filed an application
with the United States Patent Office for a patent covering a heat pump system
using gray water sources, reclaimed water sources and other non-potable water
sources. Costs of approximately $20,000 related to the patent application have
been capitalized. The eventual approval or denial of this patent application is
indeterminable at this time.
DeMarco Energy Systems, Inc. currently has installations in Oregon,
Pennsylvania, Washington, Montana, South Dakota, Mississippi, and California.
BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its subsidiary. Intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.
Furniture and Equipment
Furniture and equipment and other long-term assets are recorded at historical
cost less depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are
accounted for on the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives.
Betterments and large renewals that extend the life of assets are capitalized
whereas maintenance and repairs and small renewals are expensed as incurred.
ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles 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
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

36
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Holdings of highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less
when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents. The carrying amount
reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximates its
fair value.

NET SALES $12,068 SALE OF FINAL INVENTORY FROM SUBSIDIARY CYBERLINK
ROYALTY FEES $ 2,693 THROUGH AGREEMENT WITH FLORIDA HEAT PUMP
Manufacturing, Inc.
OTHER INCOME $10,000 THE COMPANY PAID $50,000 EARNEST MONEY TO AN
acquisition target for exclusive rights to
negotiate the acquisition. The contract
provided for full refund of the earnest
money, secured by the accounts receivable of
the target company, if the acquisition could
not be completed. The acquisition was never
completed, and the Company exercised its
right to a refund of the earnest money.
Ultimately, the Company collected $60,000 as
refund of the earnest money plus $10,000 as
reimbursement of expenses.
YEAR ENDED 6/30/2000
ROYALTY FEES $21,906 THROUGH AGREEMENT WITH FLORIDA HEAT PUMP
MANUFACTURING, INC.
ROYALTY FEE ARRANGEMENTS

Lauderdale, Florida for the manufacture and distribution of a water source heat
pump. The Company receives a 20% royalty fee, calculated from the base
production price for manufacture of each unit. The base production price may
vary.
The Company has no obligation under the agreement with Florida Heat Pump
Manufacturing, Inc. to provide warranty or servicing services either financially
or otherwise for the equipment sold.

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
ITEM 24. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Our articles of incorporation limit the personal monetary liability of our
directors to the fullest extent permissible under the corporation laws of Utah.
In general, Section 16-10a-841 of the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act (the
URBCA"), permits the elimination of personal monetary liability in all cases
except liability for: (a) the amount of a financial benefit received by a
director to which he is not entitled; (b) an intentional infliction of harm on
the corporation or the shareholders; (c) a violation of Section 16-10a-842 of
the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act (relative to distribution of assets in
violation of the URBCA or our articles of incorporation); or (d) an intentional
violation of criminal law.
Except as set forth in the articles of incorporation and under the provisions of
the URBCA, no statute, charter provision, bylaw, contract or other arrangement
which indemnifies any controlling person, officer or director of our Company,
affects or limits their liability.
ITEM 25. OTHER EXPENSES OF ISSUANCE AND DISTRIBUTION
All costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the shares
of Common Stock offered hereby shall be borne by us. Commissions and discounts,
if any, attributable to the sales of shares of Common Stock hereunder will be
borne by the Selling Stockholders. The Selling Stockholders may agree to
indemnify any broker-dealer or agent that participates in a transaction
involving sales of shares of Common Stock against certain liabilities, including
liabilities arising under the Securities Act. We have agreed to indemnify the
Selling Stockholders against certain liabilities in connection with the offering
of the shares of Common Stock hereunder, including liabilities arising under the
Securities Act.
We anticipate incurring the following expenses in connection with the
registration of these shares of Common Stock:
1. Legal expenses $50,000
2. Consulting fees 20,000
3. Registrations fees 1,400
-------
Total $71,400
ITEM 26. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
On September 13,1999, we completed a private placement (the "Placement") of
696,852 shares of our Common Stock to 33 individual and institutional investors.
The aggregate sales proceeds of the Placement were $174,300. We believe that the
issuance of shares of Common Stock in the Placement was exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act under Rule 504 under the
Securities Act. There was no underwriter involved and all persons acquiring the
stock were accredited investors.
During the eight-month period from January through August 2000, we issued a
series of convertible debentures bearing 8% interest. A total of $229,380 was
raised from this issuance. The debentures mature in 24 months from the time of
issue. Interest payments are calculated quarterly and totaled upon conversion
and included in the stock distribution. The debentures carry various conversion
privileges ranging from $0.10 to $0.45 a share. The debenture holders have the
right to convert any or all of the principal into our Common Shares at any time
after the first 12 months from issuance. If all debenture holders elect to
convert, we will issue approximately 1,200,000 shares of our Common Stock to the
holders and be relieved of the debt. We believe that the issuance of shares of
49
Common Stock in the Placement was exempt from the registration requirements of
the Securities Act under Rule 504 under the Securities Act. There was no
underwriter involved and all persons acquiring the debentures were accredited
investors. The following table lists the amount of debentures issued and the
date of issuance:

On September 26, 2000, we entered into an agreement with AJW Partners, LLC. and
New Millennium Capital Partners II, LLC. for the private placement of $1,500,000
of our Secured Convertible Debentures. These debentures are convertible into
shares of our Common Stock. The funding of the debentures will occur in two
phases with the first $500,000 (less legal and consulting fees of $45,000) being
received by us on September 27, 2000. The remaining $1,000,000 will be funded
within 30 days following the effective registration with the Securities and
Exchange Commission of the underlying securities of DeMarco Energy. If all
debenture holders elect to convert, we will issue approximately 10,869,564
shares of our Common Stock to the holders and will be relieved of the debt.
Since the debentures were sold in a private transaction, solely to accredited
institutional investors, we believe that the issuance of the debentures was
exempt from registration requirements of the Securities Act under Regulation D
and Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
Mr. Victor DeMarco, the Company's controlling shareholder and Chief Executive
Officer and director had personally loaned us approximately $99,000 through the
period ended June 30, 2000. On September 29, 2000, Mr. DeMarco converted this
entire debt into 1,650,000 shares of our Common Stock at a conversion price of
$0.06 per share. Because Mr. DeMarco is an officer and director of DeMarco
Energy, we believe the issuance of shares to Mr. DeMarco was exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act under Regulation D and Section
4(2) of the Securities Act.
Mr. Peter Des Camps, formerly our Senior Vice President of Corporate Development
also serves as President and Chief Executive Officer for Lead Capital Ventures
("LCV"), a private investment company formed in 1999. LCV paid a debt of DeMarco
Energy in the amount of $20,000 and acquired the Common Stock conversion rights
associated with that debt. The conversion rights were at $0.156 per share which
resulted in 133,333 shares of Common Stock being issued to LCV. This transaction
occurred on September 29, 2000. Because LCV is an accredited institutional
investor and Mr. Descamps was an officer of DeMarco Energy, we believe this
transaction was exempt from registration requirements of the Securities Act
under Regulation D and Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

ITEM 28. UNDERTAKINGS
The Company will:
(1) File, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement to:
(i) Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act;
(ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which,
individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the
information in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if
the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that
which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the
estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of
prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the
aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20%
change in the
52
maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
Registration Fee" Table in the effective registration statement.
(iii) Include any additional or changed material information
on the Plan of Distribution.
(2) For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each
post-effective amendment as a new Registration Statement of the securities
offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona
fide offering.
(3) File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the
securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.
(4) For determining any liability under the Securities Act, treat the
information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this
registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of
prospectus filed by the Company under Rule 424(b)(1) or (4), or 497(h) under the
Securities Act as part of this registration statement as of the time the
Commission declared it effective.
(5) For determining any liability under the Securities Act, treat each
post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus as a new
registration statement for the securities offered in the registration statement,
and that the offering of the securities at that time as the initial bona fide
offering of those securities.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining
any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant's annual
report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is
incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of Registrant pursuant
to the provisions of its Articles of Incorporation, its By-Laws, or otherwise,
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against liabilities (other than the payment by Registrant for
expenses incurred or paid by an officer, director or controlling person of
Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered, Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court
of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by
the final adjudication of such issue.
