CLX INVESTMENT COMPANY, INC.
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2004 and 2003
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 September 1, 2004 the Company engaged in only one industry segment and
line of business; the acquisition, exploration, development and operation of
oil and gas properties 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.
On September 13, 2004, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission to become a Business Development Corporation as defined under the
Investment Act of 1940. Additionally, on September 13, 2004, the Company filed
an offering circular with the SEC for up to $5,000,000 of common stock under
Regulation E of the Investment Act to raise capital and to make investments in
eligible emerging or early-stage companies in various fields of business by
arranging for and contributing capital and providing management assistance. In
anticipation of the election to become a BDC, the Company changed its name to
CLX Investment Company, Inc. on September 1, 2004 to properly reflect the
nature of its business.
NOTE 2 - CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES
During the quarter ended December 31, 2004, the Company raised $150,000 of
operating capital in the form of convertible debentures. The debentures have
varying terms of 60 days to 90 days, 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. During the quarter ended
December 31, 2004, $6,000 of these debentures were converted into 600,000
shares of common stock and $135,000 in debentures outstanding at September 30,
2004 were repaid with cash. The Company recorded a beneficial conversion
expense of $160,000 during the quarter ended December 31, 2004.
Subsequent to the end of the quarter the company issued a convertible
debenture for $100,000. The debenture is payable in 120 days, accrues interest
at 8% per annum, and converts at a discount of 50% of the closing bid for the
Company's common stock on the date of conversion. The debenture is convertible
at the option of the holder or the Company and automatically converts into
common stock in the event of bankruptcy or liquidation. Subsequent to December
31, 2004 the Company converted an additional $16,000 in debentures to
1,600,000 shares of common stock.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND
ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
GENERAL
The statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not
historical facts may contain forward-looking statements that involve a number
of known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results
to differ materially from those discussed or anticipated by management.
Potential risks and uncertainties include, among other factors, general
business conditions, government regulations, manufacturing practices,
competitive market conditions, success of the Company's business strategy,
delay of orders, changes in the mix of products sold, availability of
suppliers, concentration of sales in markets and to certain customers, changes
in manufacturing efficiencies, development and introduction of new products,
fluctuations in margins, timing of significant orders, and other risks and
uncertainties currently unknown to management.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company's financial statements and related public financial information
are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America ("GAAP"). GAAP requires the use of estimates;
assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles
that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenue and expense amounts
reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained
in the external disclosures of the Company including information regarding
contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates
and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and
conservatively applied. We review valuations based on estimates for
reasonableness and conservatism on a consistent basis throughout the Company.
Primary areas where financial information of the Company is subject to the use
of estimates, assumptions and the application of judgment include
acquisitions, valuation of long-lived and intangible assets, and the
realizability of deferred tax assets. We base our estimates on historical
experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable
under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these
estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Valuation Of Long-Lived And Intangible Assets
The recoverability of long lived assets requires considerable judgment and is
evaluated on an annual basis or more frequently if events or circumstances
indicate that the assets may be impaired. As it relates to definite life
intangible assets, we apply the impairment rules as required by SFAS No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Assets to Be Disposed
Of" as amended by SFAS No. 144, which also requires significant judgment and
assumptions related to the expected future cash flows attributable to the
intangible asset. The impact of modifying any of these assumptions can have a
significant impact on the estimate of fair value and, thus, the recoverability
of the asset.
Income Taxes
We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences
between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets
and liabilities. We regularly review our deferred tax assets for
recoverability and establish a valuation allowance based upon historical
losses, projected future taxable income and the expected timing of the
reversals of existing temporary differences. As of December 31,2004, we
estimated the allowance on net deferred tax assets to be one hundred percent
of the net deferred tax assets.
Valuation of Investments
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 directors
must carefully review the findings of such intervals in order to satisfy
themselves that the resulting valuations are fair.
10
No single standard
for determining "fair value...in good faith" can be laid down, since fair
value depends upon the circumstances of each individual case. As a general
principle, the current "fair value" of an issue of securities being valued by
the board of directors would appear to be the amount which the owner might
reasonably expect to receive for them upon their current sale. Methods, which
are in accord with this principle, may, for example, be based on a multiple of
earnings, or a discount from market of a similar freely traded security, or
yield to maturity with respect to debt issues, or a combination of these and
other methods. Some of the general factors which the directors should consider
in determining a valuation method for an individual issue of securities
include: 1) the fundamental analytical data relating to the investment, 2) the
nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the securities, and 3)
an evaluation of the 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.
Under both scenarios, the value of the investment shall be adjusted down if there is a reasonable expectation that the Company will not be able to recoup the investment or if there is reasonable doubt about the investments ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company has not
retained independent appraisors to assist in the valuation of the portfolio
investments because the cost was determined to be prohibitive for the current
levels of investments.
COMPANY STRATEGY
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 September 2004, 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.
11
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 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.
The Company made its first portfolio acquisition on December 6, 2004, by
entering 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 of $250,000.
eStrategy Solutions, Inc is the Company's only portfolio investment at
December 31, 2004.
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.
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. eStrategy Solutions already has training software in place but
is projecting a late January completion date for its expanded content delivery
platform, which is expected to significantly increase the user capacity of its
training programs. The implementation of this new platform is expected to
allow the company to expand its customer base and grow revenues unfettered by
current system limitations.
The Texas Department of Information Resources has recently renewed its
contract to engage the services of eStrategy Solutions. Under the terms of the
contract, eStrategy Solutions can be retained by agencies to serve as the
provider for agency defined training courses via web-based training. The
contract includes development costs, notification to participants, delivery,
testing, and management reporting, encompassing all state agencies, all
institutions of higher learning, all independent school districts, counties
and municipalities. To date, there have been several thousand deliveries
covering over 20 courses. In addition to delivery, eStrategy Solutions
provides completion documentation and management reports.
In the State of Texas, eStrategy Solutions has focused its business strategy
on a large market niche that has a clear need for low-cost, highly effective
e-learning programs. eStrategy Solutions has proven a new unique sales and
pricing model that targets a defined portion of overlooked clients. By
focusing on thousands of licensing, regulatory agencies and certificate
granting organizations, eStrategy Solutions offers enterprise level software
features at low-cost, and it further creates a cost-recovery method which
produces funds needed to deploy a robust e-learning system. An example of this
cost-recovery method is at work with the Texas Board of Chiropractic Examiners
(CE). This agency chose eStrategy Solutions to host the learning system at no
cost, convert the mandatory CE course to an attractive web based delivery to
thousands of chiropractic professionals. The convenience of online secure
payment and 24-hour access to courses become a source of savings for the user
and eStrategy simply splits the revenue with the agency.
12
eStrategy Solution's
market is not just limited to Texas. The model that has been developed in
Texas is applicable to all the other states as well. The market potential for
e-learning is in the billions of dollars and eStrategy Solutions is expected
to grow and capture a significant percentage of its specific market segment.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Quarter ended December 31, 2004 compared to quarter ended December 31, 2003
During the quarter ended December 31, 2004, the Company incurred a net loss of
$231,828 compared to a profit from discontinued operations of $3,145 for the
same quarter of 2003. The current loss is primarily due to an e expense of
$160,000 related to the beneficial conversion feature of new debentures and
operating expenses, which were $70,538 for the quarter ended December 31,
2004. The Company will be able to keep future operating costs at a minimum
based on the management agreement it has in place to outsource all its
administrative support. Interest expense for the quarter ended December 31,
2004 was $161,340.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity
with principles of accounting applicable to a going concern, which
contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in
the normal course of business. The Company has incurred operating losses in
the quarter ended December 31,2004, and some of the past years and has
generated an accumulated deficit of $919,526. The Company requires additional
capital to meet its operating requirements. Management plans to increase cash
flows through the sale of securities and through the issuance of convertible
debentures. The portfolio company, eStrategy Solution, is cash flow positive
but will require additional funds against its line of credit to further expand
its content delivery platform. Funds will also be required for additional
portfolio investments. There are no assurances that such capital raising plans
will be successful. No adjustments have been made to the accompanying
financial statements as a result of this uncertainty.
As of December 31, 2004, the Company had total cash and current assets of
$5,573 and current liabilities of $163,901. The Company generated cash for
operations through the issuance of common stock and sale of convertible
debentures. The debentures issued have varying terms of 60 days to 90 days,
bear interest at 8%, and are convertible into common stock at a discount to
market of 50% from the closing bid price on the date of conversion. Through
December 31, 2004, the Company raised $295,000 all of which was from
convertible debentures. Of this total, $135,000 was repaid in cash and $6,000
was converted to common stock leaving a balance of $154,000. On September 13,
2004, the Company filed a notification with the Securities and Exchange
Commission of its intent to raise capital through the issuance of securities
exempt from registration under Regulation E of the Securities Act of 1933.
This exemption allows the Company to sell up to $5,000,000 of securities
exempt from registration. Subsequent to December 31, 2004 the company raised
another $100,000 by issuing convertible debentures under the same terms and
converted $16,000 of convertible debentures into 1,600,000 shares of free
trading common stock. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to
raise any additional funds through the issuance of the remaining convertible
debentures or that any funds made available will be adequate for the Company
to continue as a going concern. Further, if the Company is not able to
generate positive cash flow from operations, or is unable to secure adequate
funding under acceptable terms, there is substantial doubt that the company
can continue as a going concern.
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
An investment in the Company involves a high degree of risk. In addition to
matters discussed elsewhere in this report, careful consideration should be
given to the following risk factors. This report contains certain
forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual
results could be substantially different from the results we anticipate in
these forward-looking statements because of one or more of the factors
described below and/or elsewhere in this report. If any of these risks were to
actually occur, our business, results of operations and financial condition
would likely suffer materially. The risks outlined below are those which
management believes are material to an understanding of our business and the
risks inherent in it, but such list is not exclusive of every possible risk
which may impact the Company and its shareholders in the future. Additional
risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem
immaterial may also appear or increase in significance, and could therefore
impair our projected business results of operations and financial condition.
Risks Related to Our Business
Our future operating results are subject to a number of risks, including our
ability or inability to implement our strategic plan and to raise sufficient
financing as required. Inability of our management to guide growth
effectively, including implementing appropriate systems, procedures and
controls, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and operating results.
13
Our future growth
depends on the addition of portfolio companies that are cash flow positive and
can contribute to the overall growth of the Company. The Company has a plan to
implement acquisitions and is presently evaluating several companies to see if
they will fit the criteria that have been established. The future performance
of the companies acquired will determine if these evaluations were correct.
And although part of the process is to evaluate the history of the companies
to determine stability in their respective industries there is no assurance
that this stability will continue. Change in revenue or expense projections or
even changes in the industry that cannot be adjusted to will could adversely
affect performance.
We require additional funds to support our business operations.
We require additional capital in order to implement our current business plan
as contemplated in this report. CLX Investment Company intends to attempt to
raise funds during the second fiscal quarter of 2005 through the issuance of
convertible debentures and the sale stock exempt from registration to
accredited investors. If we are unable to raise the necessary capital we
require, which we estimate to be a minimum of $500,000 and not more than
$2,000,000, then we may not be able to operate our business in the manner
described in this report. Our inability to raise the funds we require, when we
require them and on terms that are reasonably acceptable to our management,
would have a materially adverse effect upon our ability to maintain and grow
our business.
If we do raise the funds we require to grow the business, it could result
in substantial dilution to our existing shareholders.
To the extent that much of our financing will be raised through the issuance
of convertible debentures, stock will be issued at a discount to the market
upon conversion of the debt resulting in substantial dilution to our existing
shareholders which is disproportionate to the value of the funds received by
us in such transaction. There is no guarantee that additional financing will
be available to us on acceptable terms when needed, or at all.
Our failure to effectively manage our growth could have a material adverse
effect on our business.
We expect our business to grow rapidly. Such growth will place a significant
strain on our management systems and resources. We will need to continue to
improve our operational and financial systems and managerial controls and
procedures, and we will need to continue to expand, train and manage our
workforce.
If we are unable to retain key personnel or attract new personnel, it could
have a material adverse effect on our business.
The loss of services of any of our key personnel or our inability to
successfully attract and retain qualified personnel in the future would have a
material adverse effect on our business. We do not maintain key person life
insurance on any of our employees.
Risks Related To Our Industry
Laws and regulations may prohibit or severely restrict our ability to raise
capital.
Various government agencies in the United States and throughout the world
regulate capital raising practices. If we are unable to continue our business
in our existing manner then we may not be able to acquire additional portfolio
investments, which would hamper or even cause our business to fail.
Additionally, government agencies and courts may use their powers and
discretion in interpreting and applying laws in a manner that limits our
ability to operate or otherwise harm our business. Also, if any governmental
authority brings a regulatory enforcement action against us that interrupts
our ability to raise capital, or which results in a significant fine or
penalty assessed against us, our business could suffer.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
Exchange Act"), we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the
design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures within the 90
days prior to the filing date of this report. This evaluation was carried out
under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Shane Traveller. Based upon
that evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in
timely alerting management to material information relating to us and required
to be included in our periodic SEC filings. There have been no significant
changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly
affect internal controls subsequent to the date we carried out our evaluation.
14
Disclosure controls
and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure
that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted
under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within
the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules
and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation,
controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be
disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and
communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
