Item 8.01.  Other Events
 
On September 4, 2013 Next Fuel, Inc. issued a press release announcing that it has signed a term sheet to acquire the assets of Elite Construction and Fabrication, LLC (“Elite”).  Elite is an oil and gas service company headquartered in Dallas, Texas with fabrication facilities in Oklahoma, along with a highly qualified and certified construction group.

Elite had revenues of over $40 million in calendar year 2012.  Elite’s customer base includes many of the well-known major companies in the drilling industry.

The reasons for the acquisition are explained in the press release.

The term sheet with Elite contemplates closing during calendar year 2013, but is subject to completing due diligence and other closing conditions and is non-binding except for confidentiality and "no-shop" provisions.  The term sheet contemplates a purchase price that includes a combination of (i) cash in the amount of $3 million, plus Elite's net liquid assets sold at the closing, (ii) an earn-out five year promissory note for up to $1,250,000 (plus interest) with annual installment payments subject to the future performance of the business being acquired, (iii) a number of shares of Next Fuel common stock having a market value at the closing of $1,250,000 and (iv) a five-year warrant to acquire 1 million additional shares  of Next Fuel common stock with an exercise price equal to the market value of Next Fuel's common stock at the closing.

Next Fuel will seek to borrow or raise equity capital to finance both the cash portion of the purchase price with an exercise price equal to the market value of Next Fuel's common stock at the closing and expenses associated with integrating this acquisition into Next Fuel's current business.  Accordingly, there can be no assurance this term sheet will result in Next Fuel's acquisition of Elite.

This Report contains forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the timing of future acquisition of Elite's business and future products and services to be offered by the Company, all of which involve risks and uncertainties.  Actual results could differ materially from those discussed.  Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, the results of due diligence investigations, negotiations between the Company and Elite, the Company's ability to raise the capital required to finance the acquisition of Elite, and other factors discussed in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  All forward-looking statements are based on information available to the Company as of the date of this Report, and the Company assumes no obligation to update such statements.

A copy of the press release of the Company is included as Exhibit 99.1 of this Report and is incorporated by reference herein
