the transaction is valued at approximately $200,000. A copy of the acquisition agreement was attached to a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 1, 2012, as Exhibit 2.


The acquisition of Clarrix Energy, LLC closed on May 30, 2012 as a result of the exchange of the consideration under the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, and Clarrix Energy, LLC has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Registrant.  Clarrix will continue and expand its current business model with additional working capital funding to be provided by Registrant in the amount of up to $1,000,000 in the form of an equity line of credit to be drawn on by Registrant.  Registrant is in the process of securing a commitment for the equity line of credit.


The preferred stock issued at closing to Élan Energy & Water, Inc. is a voting, convertible preferred stock (i) having at all times the right to cast votes in all matters in which the holders of common stock of AEGY are entitled to vote, equal to 51% of the total vote of all classes of stock from time to time outstanding; (ii) convertible into common stock of AEGY equal to 51 percent of the resulting total common interests issued and outstanding on a fully diluted basis at the election of the holder or holders at any time after one year from the closing of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement; and (iii) having a liquidation preference equal to 51 percent of the assets available on a liquidation distribution over the AEGY Common Interests.  The terms and conditions of the preferred stock are set forth in the Statement of Preferences attached as Exhibit 4 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 1, 2012.


As a result of the acquisition, Élan Energy & Water, Inc. holds a controlling interest in Registrant.  There was no change in the management of Registrant as a result of the acquisition, although Registrant expects to increase the size of its Board of Directors in the near future.


Clarrix Energy, LLC


The deregulation of energy by the federal government has created multiple opportunities in the energy sector. Multiple states allow businesses and consumers to select the supplier of their commodity (gas or electricity).  This, of course, is intended to give business the opportunity to save on their utility costs.


Clarrix Energy, LLC provides consultative and brokerage services to business of all sizes. The objective of these services is to decrease utility costs, in as many ways as possible for every client. The company currently has agreements to supply deregulated energy in 10 states, and is in pursuit of supply partners. Management has its sights set on large energy users


Clarrix Energy was founded in 2012 by a management team composed of a diverse group of highly skilled executives with broad base of skills in medicine, finance, web development, and retail.  The companys initial source of revenue is from commissions generated by saving businesses from 1 to 25% on their utility bills. Management will be diligently searching for products and services for clients, including solar, surge protection, lighting and more.


The company will be focusing on a creative online strategy to attract and manage clients. Management is developing a sales force in all areas in which their supply agreements allow.



Management plans to use technology and state-of-the-art web and social networking strategies to maximize lead generation and minimize advertising costs.


Management of Clarrix, LLC is made up of three individuals, Louis Lipschultz, Domenico Grillo and John Cummings, who have many years of business experience and were the founders of Clarrix.  As a part of the acquisition transaction, the three managers will receive monthly payments totaling in the aggregate 10 percent of gross sales revenues for the prior month for a period of thirty months, until August, 2014.

In 2004 Mr. Cummings founded Global Energy Resources; this company was established after the procurement of technology specifically designed for the area of gasification of waste products for conversion into biofuels.  


Global Energys ultimate goal was to implement this technology in order to produce biodiesel in a more efficient and cost effective manner with the added advantage of resolving the waste issues and the negative environmental impact they make.


In 1998, Mr. Cummings founded Energy Resources Inc, which was responsible for identifying and procuring energy projects in the private and public sectors.

He also established and later successfully sold Med Connect Medical Management in which he served as its president.


Mr. Cummings has a degree in Public Administration and Political Science.  


Prior to the closing of the acquisition, there was no material relationship between Registrant and Clarrix Energy, LLC or the three sellers, Mr. Lipschultz, Mr. Grillo and Mr. Cummings.
