its communications to shareholders and others, on managements projections,
estimates and all other communications. Statements that are based on
managements projections, estimates and assumptions are forward-looking
statements, the words believe, expect, anticipate, intend and similar
expressions generally identify forward-looking statements. While the Company

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
CLX Investment Company, Inc. ("the Company" or "CLXN") was
incorporated under the laws of Colorado under the name of Calvin Exploration
Company, Inc. on December 12, 1977 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. The Company's Oil and gas activities
concentrated primarily in Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma and Wyoming. In 1993 the
name of the Company was changed to CLX Energy, Inc. Up until this year the
Company has engaged in only one industry segment and line of business, namely
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 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. All Gas and Oil operations are
being reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying financial
reports.
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 which
is not publicly traded or that has assets less than $4 million. On September
1, 2004 the Company changes it's name to CLX Investment Company, Inc. to
properly reflect the nature of its business.
There were no portfolio companies at the fiscal year ending
September 30, 2004. Subsequently, on December 6, 2004 the company entered into
an agreement to acquire 40% of eStrategy Solutions, Inc. a four-year-old
e-learning and cost recovery solutions company, in exchange for $60,000 and an
agreement to provide an operating line of credit. eStrategy Solutions, Inc is
the Company's only portfolio investment at this time.
Investment Strategy
CLX Investments Company, Inc. intends to make strategic
investments in cash-flow positive 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 will prefer 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 management 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.
3
Portfolio Investments
The Company presently has one portfolio investment: eStrategy
Solutions, Inc., a Texas corporation specializing in the development, and
marketing of e-learning software solutions. The Company owns 40% of the common
stock of eStrategy Solutions, Inc., which it acquired in exchange for cash and
an open line of credit. The investment in strategy Solutions, Inc. occurred
subsequent to September 30, 2004, and is therefore omitted from the
accompanying financial statements.
Employees
Exclusive of eStrategy Solutions Inc., CLX Investment
Company, Inc. presently has no employees who serve in administrative
positions. Management has entered into an agreement with Javelin Advisory
Group to provide administrative support for a monthly fee of $12,500. In this
way overhead costs are kept at a minimum while still being able have a very
talented administrative staff as part of the management team.
ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
The Company uses 2,337 square feet in Temecula, CA, on a
month-to-month basis as part of its management contract with Javelin Advisory
Group.
Management believes that its facilities are adequate for its
present business.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
CLX Investment Company, Inc. is not a party to any material
pending legal proceedings and no such actions by, or to the best of its
knowledge, against CLX Investment Company, Inc. has been threatened.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
A special meeting of shareholders of CLX Investments Company,
Inc. was held on August 30, 2004 where the following actions were taken by a
majority vote of shareholders:
1. The Company's Articles of Incorporation were amended:

ITEM 5. MARKET
FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDERS MATTERS

The Company's Common Stock is traded on the OTCBB
(Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board) under the symbol "CLXN". The following table
sets forth the trading history of the Common Stock on the Bulletin Board for

Holders of
record
As of September 30, 2004 there were approximately 441 holders
of record of the Company's common stock. There were 1,197,634 shares
outstanding with a par value of $.01.
Dividends
The Company has never paid a cash dividend on its common
stock. Payment of dividends is at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors plans to retain earnings, if any, for operations and
does not intend to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
Except as otherwise noted, the securities described in this
Item 5 were issued pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. Each such issuance was made
pursuant to individual contracts, which are discrete from one another and are
made only with persons who were sophisticated in such transactions and who had
knowledge of and access to sufficient information about the Company to make an
informed investment decision. Among the information provided was the fact that
the securities issued were restricted securities. No commissions were paid in
connection with the transactions described below unless specifically noted.
The Sale of the Oil & Gas, LLC resulted in the cancellation
of 1,592,836 shares and 159,284 shares being reissued. The 1,592,836 shares
were cancelled on October 5, 2004 and the 159,284 shares were issued on
October 7, 2004.
Between July 7, 2004 and December 15, 2004 the company issued
convertible debentures in the amount of $150,000.00. All debentures are due
within six months of issue and carry a rate of interest of eight percent (8%)
per year on the unpaid principal. The holders of the debentures are entitled,
at their option, to convert the principal amount of these debentures plus
accrued interest into shares of the Company's common stock at a price per
share equal to a 50% discount to current market. In the event of bankruptcy
all debentures convert to shares of common stock.
Between October 7, 2004 and December 29, 2004 the company
issued 600,000 shares of common stock upon the conversion of $6,000.00 of
these convertible debentures. The stock was issued under a regulation E
exemption. These debentures were converted at $0.01. If the remaining
debentures were issued at the same $0.01 it would result in the issuance of an
additional 14,400,000 shares of common stock further diluting stockholders
positions.
As of December 29, 2004 CLX Investment Company, Inc had
1,797,634 shares of common stock outstanding.
ITEM 6. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
The following information should be read in conjunction with
the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in
this Form 10-K.
Plan of Operation
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 which
is not publicly traded or that has assets less than $4 million.
As part of the over all acquisition and finance plan, the
Board of Directors authorized management to file Form 1-E with the Commission
notifying of its intent to sell up to $5 million of the Company's common stock
under a Regulation E exemption.
CLX Investment Company, Inc. presently has one portfolio investment, eStrategy
Solutions, Inc, which was acquired subsequent to September 30, 2004.
No additional portfolio investments were made this past year.
Management anticipates making additional portfolio investments as
opportunities present themselves in the coming year.
The only commitment of material value is a commitment to
provide a $250,000 line of credit to eStrategy Solutions, Inc.
In October of 2004 CLX Investment Company, Inc. signed a
management contract with Javelin Advisory Group to provide administrative
services. Javelin will provide services such as portfolio management,
accounting, public relations, and various other administrative functions as
well as office space. This service will provide a talented pool of personnel
at very reduced price compared to hiring that same talent on an individual
basis.
5
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's financial statements present an impairment in
terms of liquidity. As of September 30, 2004 the Company had $130,000 in current
assets and the Company's total liabilities exceeded total assets by
approximately $22,500. During the fiscal year, ending September 30, 2004, The
Oil and Gas operation was spun off and is being reported on the financials as
discontinued operations. In the year ended September 30, 2003, which is being
reported as discontinued operations, the company reported that current assets
exceeded current liabilities by approximately $46,000. The Company has accumulated $697,962 of net operating
losses through September 30, 2004, which may used to reduce taxes in future
years through 2022. 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. Under continuing operations the Company has not yet established revenues to cover its
operating costs. Management believes that the Company will soon be able to
generate revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs through the
acquisition of operating subsidiaries. In the event the Company is unable to
do so, and if suitable financing is unavailable, there is substantial doubt
about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Results of Operations
For the year ended September 30, 2004 the Company had a net loss of $22,500 for its continuing operations. The discontinued operations had a net profit of $55,625 for year ended September 30, 2003 and a net loss of $368,855 for year ended September 30, 2002.
Under its continuing operations, focus and effort is being placed on the acquisition of operating companies that meet the criteria as set forth by the investment Committee of the Company.
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 the 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.
6
RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
We Will Need to Raise
Additional Capital to Finance Operations
Past operations have relied on monies generated from profits as well as
external financing to fund our operations. However, We will need to rely
entirely on external financing for the next year to raise additional capital
to fund our anticipated operating expenses and future expansion. Among other
things, external financing will be required to cover our operating costs. We
cannot assure you that financing whether from external sources or related
parties will be available if needed or on favorable terms. The sale of our
common stock to raise capital may cause dilution to our existing shareholders.
Our inability to obtain adequate financing will result in the need to curtail
business operations. Any of these events would be materially harmful to our
business and may result in a lower stock price.
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
The report of our independent accountants on our September 30, 2004 financial
statements included an explanatory paragraph indicating that 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 that an active trading market for our
common stock will develop. As a result, 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
in the future, significant price and volume fluctuations that could adversely
affect the market price of our common stock without regard to our operating
performance. In addition, we 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.
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 for the foreseeable future. Broker-dealers often
decline to trade in OTCBB stocks given that the market for such securities is
often limited, the stocks are more volatile, and the risk to investors are
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 them. 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 Shane Traveller our Chief Executive. We cannot assure you that 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. Traveller.
California Law and Our Charter May Inhibit a Takeover of Our Company That
Stockholders May Consider Favorable
Provisions of California 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.
7
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, and
appointing officers, which could have a material impact on mergers,
acquisitions, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of our
assets, and also 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 not meet, nor 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 into 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.
ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
See the financial statements annexed to this report.
ITEM 8. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND

ITEM 12. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
The Company's officers and directors are subject to the doctrine of
corporate opportunities only insofar as it applies to business opportunities
in which the Company has indicated an interest, either through its proposed
business plan or by way of an express statement of interest contained in the
Company's minutes. If directors are presented with business opportunities that
may conflict with business interests identified by the Company, such
opportunities must be promptly disclosed to the Board of Directors and made
available to the Company. In the event the Board shall reject an opportunity
that was presented to it and only in that event, any of the Company's officers
and directors may avail themselves of such an opportunity. Every effort will
be made to resolve any conflicts that may arise in favor of the Company. There
can be no assurance, however, that these efforts will be successful.
Subsequent to September 30, 2004 the Company entered in to an agreement with a related party to provide management and administrative services for $12,500 per month.

ITEM 13.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. 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, our principal executive officer and principal financial
officer have concluded that 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
that 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. There were no significant
changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly
affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation. There were
no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses, and therefore there were
no corrective actions taken. However, 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

To the Board of
Directors
CLX Investment Company, Inc.
(formerly CLX Energy, Inc.)
Temecula, CA
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of CLX Investment Company, Inc.
(formerly CLX Energy, Inc.) (the Company) as of September 30, 2004 and the
related statement of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows
for the years ended September 30, 2004. 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.
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, 2004 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year
ended September 30, 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 6 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 6. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 1
- NATURE OF ORGANIZATION
This summary of significant accounting policies of CLX Investment Company, Inc. and Subsidiaries 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. 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 consolidated 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. The Company's oil and gas activities concentrated primarily in Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma and Wyoming. In 1993 the name of the Company was changed to CLX Energy, Inc. Up until this year the Company has engaged in only one industry segment and line of business, namely 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 is 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 being reported as discontinued operations on the financial records. See Note 5.
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 by arranging for and contributing capital and providing management assistance. 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements
September 30, 2004 and 2003
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF ORGANIZATION (Continued)
a. Organization and Business Activities (Continued)
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. Accounting Method
The Company's financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. The Company has elected a September 30th year-end.
c. Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
As of September 30, 2004 the company had $130,000 cash deposited in our checking account, $30,000 of which was in excess of FDIC insured limits.
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. 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.

f. 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 carryforwards 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, 2004 and 2003:
2004 2003Deferred tax assets: NOL Carryover $199,800
$194,000
Deferred tax liabilities: - -Valuation allowance (199,800) (194,000)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, 2004 and 2003 due to the following:
2004 2003
Book income $
(9,405)$
(21,694)Other (312) -Valuation allowance 4,296 21,694Stock for services 5,421
-
$ -$ -At September 30, 2004, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $510,000 that may be offset against future taxable income from the year 2004 through 2024. No tax benefit has been reported in the September 30, 2004 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.

g. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
During the year ended September 30, 2004, the Company adopted the following accounting pronouncements:
SFAS No. 143 -- In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, which established a uniform methodology for accounting for estimated reclamation and abandonment costs. The statement was effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 143 did not have a material effect on the financial statements of the Company.
SFAS No. 145 -- On April 30, 2002, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 145 (SFAS 145), "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections." SFAS 145 rescinds both FASB Statement No. 4 (SFAS 4), "Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt," and the amendment to SFAS 4, FASB Statement No. 64 (SFAS 64), "Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements." Through this rescission, SFAS 145 eliminates the requirement (in both SFAS 4 and SFAS 64) that gains and losses from the extinguishment of debt be aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of the related income tax effect. However, an entity is not prohibited from classifying such gains and losses as extraordinary items, so long as it meets the criteria in paragraph 20 of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions. Further, SFAS 145 amends paragraph 14(a) of FASB Statement No. 13, "Accounting for Leases", to eliminate an inconsistency between the accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions. The amendment requires that a lease modification (1) results in recognition of the gain or loss in the 9 financial statements, (2) is subject to FASB Statement No. 66, "Accounting for Sales of Real Estate," if the leased asset is real estate (including integral equipment), and (3) is subject (in its entirety) to the sale-leaseback rules of FASB Statement No. 98, "Accounting for Leases: Sale-Leaseback Transactions Involving Real Estate, Sales-Type Leases of Real Estate, Definition of the Lease Term, and Initial Direct Costs of Direct Financing Leases." Generally, FAS 145 is effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002. The adoption of SFAS 145 did not have a material effect on the financial statements of the Company.
SFAS No. 146 -- In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Exit or Disposal Activities" (SFAS 146). SFAS 146 addresses significant issues regarding the recognition, measurement, and reporting of costs that are associated with exit and disposal activities, including restructuring activities that are currently accounted for under EITF No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." The
F-12

Notes to the Financial Statements

NOTE 1

g. Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)
scope of SFAS 146 also includes costs related to terminating a contract that is not a capital lease and termination benefits that employees who are involuntarily terminated receive under the terms of a one-time benefit arrangement that is not an ongoing benefit arrangement or an individual deferred-compensation contract. SFAS 146 will be effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002 and early application is encouraged. The provisions of EITF No. 94-3 shall continue to apply for an exit activity initiated under an exit plan that met the criteria of EITF No. 94-3 prior to the adoption of SFAS 146. The effect on adoption of SFAS 146 will change on a prospective basis the timing of when the restructuring charges are recorded from a commitment date approach to when the liability is incurred. The adoption of SFAS 146 did not have a material effect on the financial statements of the Company.
SFAS No. 147 -- In October 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 147, "Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions" which is effective for acquisitions on or after October 1, 2002. This statement provides interpretive guidance on the application of the purchase method to acquisitions of financial institutions. Except for transactions between two or more mutual enterprises, this Statement removes acquisitions of financial institutions from the scope of both SFAS 72 and Interpretation 9 and requires that those transactions be accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations" and No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". The adoption of SFAS No. 147 did not have a material effect on the financial statements of the Company.
SFAS No. 148 -- In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123" which is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. This Statement amends SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this Statement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The adoption of SFAS No. 148 did not have a material effect on the financial statements of the Company.
SFAS No. 149 -- In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" which is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. This statement amends and clarifies financial accounting for derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and hedging activities under SFAS 133. The adoption of SFAS No. 149 did not have a material effect on the financial statements of the Company.
SFAS No. 150 -- In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity" which is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and is

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF

g. Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)
otherwise effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. This Statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures in its statement of financial position certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances) because that financial instrument embodies an obligation of the issuer. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 did not have a material effect on the financial statements of the Company.
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.
FASB Interpretation No. 46 -- In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." FIN 46 provides guidance on the identification of entities for which control is achieved through means other than through voting rights, variable interest entities, and how to determine when and which business enterprises should consolidate variable interest entities. This interpretation applies immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003. 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 acquired before February 1, 2003. The adoption of FIN 46 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
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.

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF
ORGANIZATION (Continued)
g. Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)
These newly issued accounting pronouncements had no effect on the Company's current financial statements and did not impact the Company.
h. Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are recorded at cost. Major additions and improvement are capitalized. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of equipment retired or sold are removed from the accounts and any differences between the undepreciated amount and the proceeds from the sale are recorded as gain or loss on sale of assets.
The Company had no fixed assets as of September 30, 2004.
i. Revenue Recognition
Prior to the discontinuation of operations on September 1, 2004 (See Note 7), 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.
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. 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 revenue recognition methods of the Company for 2003.
j. Investment Valuation
The Company's loans, net of participations and any unearned discount, are considered investments under the 1940 Act and are recorded at fair value. Since no ready market exists for these loans, the fair value is determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. In determining the fair value, the Company and Board of Directors consider factors such as the financial condition of the borrower, the adequacy of the collateral and individual credit risks.
Investments in equity securities are recorded at fair value, represented as cost, plus or minus unrealized appreciation or depreciation, respectively. The carrying values of investments that have no readily-determinable market values are determined by the
F-15

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF

j. Investment Valuation
Board of Directors, based upon its analysis of the assets and revenues of the underlying investee companies. See not 2, below.
Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuations, the Board of Directors' estimates of the values on the investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed and the differences could be material.
k. Preferred Stock
There are no outstanding shares of preferred stock. The Board of Directors has designated ten million (10,000,000) shares of series A. preferred with the following rights and preferences:
The Series A Preferred shall, at the option of the holder, be convertible on a one for one share basis to common stock of the Company. The holders of shares of Series A Preferred shall not be entitled to vote such shares. In lieu of voting rights the holders of Series A Preferred, voting together as a class, shall be entitled to elect two members of the Board of Directors at each meeting. Also the Series A Preferred shall not be affected by any capital reorganization of the Company.l. Stock Options
The Company has elected to account for grants of stock options under APB Option No. 25. No options were granted during the 2003 or 2002 fiscal years.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", (SFAS No. 123) requires compensation expense to be determined based on the fair value, as defined, of options at the grant date. Pro forma net earnings and pro forma earnings per share must be disclosed based on the additional compensation expense. For purposes of these pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options granted during the 2001 fiscal year, using the Black-Scholes option granted during the 2001 fiscal year, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, assumed no dividend yield, volatility of 77%, interest rate of 5% and expected life of 5 years. The estimated fair value of the options granted is amortized to expense over the options vesting period. Had compensation cost for the stock options granted been based on the estimated fair value of the grant dates, as prescribed by SFAS No. 123, The Company's pro forma net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share would have been as follows:

NOTE 2 - INVESTMENTS
At the fiscal year end the company had no portfolio company investments. Subsequent to September 30, 2004, the Company has acquired 40% interest in eStrategy Solutions, Inc. eSttategy is a Texas corporation specializing in the development and marketing of e-learning software solutions.
As required by ASR 118, the investment committee 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 requested 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
F-16

Notes to the Financial Statements

NOTE 2 - INVESTMENTS
(Continued)
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 forces 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 method for its investments. 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, and in absence of a recent appraisal, the value of the investment shall be based on the following criteria:
1. Total amount of the Company's actual investment ("AI"). This amount shall include all loans, purchase price of securities, and fair value of securities given at the time of exchange.
2. Total revenues for the preceding twelve months ("R").
3. Earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation ("EBITD")
4. Estimate of likely sale price of investment ("ESP")
5. Net assets of investment ("NA")
6. Likelihood of investment generating positive returns (going concern).
The estimated value of each investment shall be determined as follows:
Where no or limited revenues or earnings are present, then the value shall be the greater of the investment's a) net assets, b) estimated sales price, or c) total amount of actual investment.
Where revenues and/or earnings are present, then the value shall be the greater of one time (1x) revenues or three times (3x) earnings, plus the greater of the net assets of the investment or the total amount of the actual investment.

NOTE 3 - CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004, the Company raised $135,000 of operating capital in the form of convertible debentures. The debentures have varying terms of one to three months, accrue interest at 8% per annum, and convert at a discount of 50% of the closing bid for the Company's common stock on the date of conversion. All convertible debentures are convertible at the option of the holder or the Company and automatically convert into common stock in the event of bankruptcy or liquidation. Of the $135,000 in convertible notes, one debenture totaling $125,000, was contributed by an individual to make a specific portfolio investment. A subsequent agreement could not be reached and the money was returned in October, 2004 with no interest paid. The $10,000 debenture was repaid in October, 2004 at the principal amount of $10,000 plus $5,000 in interest. There was no beneficial conversion expense recognized based on the fact that debenture was not converted into stock. The Company negotiated a cash payment that was less than the value of the conversion to common stock would have been had they exercised that option.
Subsequent to year- end the company issued two convertible debentures for a total of $150,000. The debentures have varying terms of one to three months, accrue interest at 8% per annum, and convert at a discount of 50% of the closing bid for the Company's common stock on the date of conversion. All convertible debentures are convertible at the option of the holder or the Company and automatically convert into common stock in the event of bankruptcy or liquidation.

NOTE 6 - 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 for the year ended September 30, 2002 and profits for the ensuing year ended of September 30, 2003 and 2004.
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 December 31, 2004, the Company raised $150,000 in funds under convertible debentures. These debentures can be converted into free-trading shares of common stock under Regulation E. The Company also has a portfolio investment that has a positive cash flow. In the event such funds are unavailable in the future or insufficient, the Company may need to alter its operation or cease to function as a going concern.
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.
