PART I
Item 1. Description of Business.
The Company.
EClips Energy Technologies, Inc., (EET the Company, Eclips, we or us) is a Florida
Corporation with principal executive offices at 3900 31st Street North, St. Petersburg, FL 33714.
The Companys operations were developing and manufacturing products and services, which reduce fuel
costs, save power & energy and protect the environment. The products and services were made
available for sale into markets in the public and private sectors. In December 2009, the Company
discontinued these operations.
Recent Developments
On December 22, 2009, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement, (the Purchase
Agreement) by and among the Company, Benjamin C. Croxton (the Seller), and certain purchasers of
securities owned by the Seller, representing a controlling interest in the Company (each a
Purchaser and collectively the Purchasers). The Purchase Agreement was subsequently amended on
January 12, 2010. As amended the Purchase Agreement contemplates a change of control of the
Company through the resignation of the existing officers and directors, and the purchase, in
privately negotiated transactions, of outstanding shares of the Company from the Seller, and the
appointment of Greg Cohen as director and Chief Executive Officer.
3
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Purchasers agreed to purchase from the Seller an aggregate of (i) 50,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001
par value (Common Stock) and (ii) 1,500,000 shares of Series D preferred stock (the Series D
Preferred Stock and collectively with the Common Stock, the Shares), comprising approximately
82% of the issued and outstanding shares of voting stock of the Company. The closing of the
purchase of the Shares occurred on February 4, 2010. Upon closing of the Purchase Agreement, a
change of control occurred in which Auracana, LLC has control of the Company through the exercise
of the voting rights attributable to the voting power of 500 votes for each share outstanding of
the Companys Series D Preferred Stock acquired from the Seller (750,000,000 votes total). There
is no agreement or understanding in effect among the Purchasers with respect to the voting of any
of the Shares.
In connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Company and Seller entered into a release pursuant
to which in consideration for the termination of Sellers employment agreement, dated January 31,
2006, the Company issued to Seller 1,100,000 shares of the Companys common stock. Furthermore,
the Company agreed to transfer to Seller or Sellers designee, Pure Air Technologies, Inc.,
Hydrogen Safe Technologies, Inc., World Energy Solutions Limited and Advanced Alternative Energy,
Inc. and granted to Seller a five-year option for the purchase of H-Hybrid Technologies, Inc.
During late 2009, the Company began to explore other business opportunities which in light of the
execution of the Purchase Agreement, likely will be limited to business opportunities introduced by
Purchasers, and disposition of its existing businesses. Although no agreement has been entered,
the Company has been advised by Purchasers that a privately owned online sports marketing and
fantasy sports website and related businesses (the Proposed Business) is being proposed to be
acquired following the closing of the Purchase Agreement. Mr. Cohen is not affiliated with the
Proposed Business.
On March 16, 2010, the Company filed a definitive information statement of Schedule 14C (the
Definitive Schedule 14C) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) notifying its
stockholders that on March 2, 2010, a majority of the voting capital stock of the Company took
action in lieu of a special meeting of stockholders authorizing the Company to enter into an
Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) with its newly-formed wholly-owned
subsidiary, EClips Media Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (EClips Media) for the
purpose of changing the state of incorporation of the Company to Delaware from Florida. Pursuant to
the Merger Agreement, the Company will be merged with and into EClips Media with EClips Media
continuing as the surviving corporation (the Merger). The Merger will be effective
approximately 20 days after the mailing of the Definitive Schedule 14C.
On the effective date of the Merger, (i) each issued and outstanding share of common stock of the
Company shall be converted into two (2) shares of EClips Media common stock, (ii) each issued and
outstanding share of Series D preferred stock of the Company shall be converted into two (2) shares
of EClips Media Series A preferred stock and (iii) the outstanding share of EClips Media Common
Stock held by the Company shall be retired and canceled and shall resume the status of authorized
and unissued EClips Media common stock. The outstanding 6% convertible debentures due February 4,
2012 of the Company shall be assumed by EClips Media and converted into outstanding 6% convertible
debentures due February 4, 2012 of EClips Media. All options and rights to acquire the Companys
common stock, and all outstanding warrants or rights outstanding to purchase the Companys common
stock, will automatically be converted into equivalent options, warrants and rights to purchase two
(2) times the number of shares of EClips Media common stock at fifty (50%) percent of the exercise,
conversion or strike price of such converted options, warrants and rights.

(PTS). PTS merged with the Company (formerly known as World Energy Solutions, Inc.) in November

The Companys operation were manufacturing and selling transient voltage surge suppressors and
related products and commercial and residential energy-saving equipment and applications to
distributors and customers throughout the United States. In December 2009, the Company
discontinued these operations.
Recent Developments
On December 22, 2009, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement (the Purchase Agreement) by
and among the Company, Benjamin C. Croxton (the Seller), and certain purchasers of securities
owned by the Seller, representing a controlling interest in the Company (each a Purchaser and
collectively the Purchasers). The Purchase Agreement was subsequently amended on January 12,
2010. As amended the Purchase Agreement contemplates a change of control of the Company through
the resignation of the existing officers and directors, and the purchase, in privately negotiated
transactions, of outstanding shares of the Company from the Seller, and the appointment of Greg
Cohen as director and Chief Executive Officer. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Purchasers
agreed to purchase from the Seller an aggregate of (i) 50,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001
par value (Common Stock) and (ii) 1,500,000 shares of Series D preferred stock (the Series D
Preferred Stock and collectively with the Common Stock, the Shares), comprising approximately
82% of the issued and outstanding shares of voting stock of the Company. The closing of the
purchase of the Shares occurred on February 4, 2010. Upon closing of the Purchase Agreement, a
change of control will occur in which Auracana, LLC will effectively have control of the Company
through the exercise of the voting rights attributable to the voting power of 500 votes for each
share outstanding of the Companys Series D Preferred Stock acquired from the Seller (750,000,000
votes total). There is no agreement or understanding in effect among the Purchasers with respect
to the voting of any of the Shares.
During late 2009, the Company began to explore other business opportunities which in light of the
execution of the Purchase Agreement likely will be limited to business opportunities introduced by
Purchasers, and disposition of its existing businesses. Although no agreement has been entered,
the Company has been advised by Purchasers that a privately owned online sports marketing and
fantasy sports website and related businesses (the Proposed Business) is being proposed to be
acquired following the closing of the Purchase Agreement. Mr. Cohen is not affiliated with
the Proposed Business.
In connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Company and Seller entered into a release pursuant
to which in consideration for the termination of Sellers employment agreement, dated January 31,
2006, the Company issued to Seller 1,100,000 shares of the Companys common stock. Furthermore,
the Company agreed to transfer to Seller or Sellers designee, Pure Air Technologies, Inc.,
Hydrogen Safe Technologies, Inc., World Energy Solutions Limited and Advanced Alternative Energy,
Inc. and granted to Seller a five-year option for the purchase of H-Hybrid Technologies, Inc.
On March 16, 2010, the Company filed the Definitive Schedule 14C with the SEC notifying its
stockholders that on March 2, 2010, a majority of the voting capital stock of the Company took
action in lieu of a special meeting of stockholders authorizing the Company to enter into the
Merger Agreement with its newly-formed wholly-owned subsidiary, EClips Media, for the purpose of
changing the state of incorporation of the Company to Delaware from Florida. Pursuant to the Merger
Agreement, the Company will be merged with and into EClips Media with EClips Media continuing as
the surviving corporation (the Merger). The Merger will be effective approximate 20 days after
the mailing of the Definitive Schedule 14C.
On the effective date of the Merger, (i) each issued and outstanding share of common stock of the
Company shall be converted into two (2) shares of EClips Media common stock, (ii) each issued and
outstanding share of Series D preferred stock of the Company shall be converted into two (2) shares
of EClips Media Series A preferred stock and (iii) the outstanding share of EClips Media Common
Stock held by the Company shall be retired and canceled and shall resume the status of authorized
and unissued EClips Media common stock. The outstanding 6% convertible debentures due February 4,
2012 of the Company shall be assumed by EClips Media and converted into outstanding 6% convertible
debentures due February 4, 2012 of EClips Media. All options and rights to acquire the Companys
common stock, and all outstanding warrants or rights outstanding to purchase the Companys common
stock, will automatically be converted into equivalent options, warrants and rights to purchase two
(2) times the number of shares of EClips Media common stock at fifty (50%) percent of the exercise,
conversion or strike price of such converted options, warrants and rights.

Results of Operations
For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008
The Company discontinued its current operations.
Operating Expenses
Costs associated with the administration of the Company were included in continued operations.
Allocation was made for the administrative duties incurred, in relation to the public entity.
Payroll expenses were $117,249 and 141,079 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. The decrease was due to the termination of 2 executives in 2008.
Professional and consulting expenses were $114,938 and $242,918 for the years ended December 31,
2009 and 2008, respectively. Professional expenses were incurred for the audits and public filing
requirements.
General and administrative costs were $47,509 and 47,518 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and
2008, respectively. General and administrative costs were allocated to the support function of the
Company on a consistent basis and represents predominately fixed costs.
Discontinued Operations
For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 we recorded total loss from discontinued operations
of $1,907,663 and $5,302,476, respectively, associated with the discontinuance of our subsidiaries.
Included in the Loss from discontinued operations, total product sales from discontinued operations
were $313,660 and $456,269 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The
Company has had decreased sales related to discontinued operations, due to decrease in product
orders, believed to be from the decrease in housing construction and other general economic
conditions. Impairment charges have been included in the loss from discontinued operations, in the
amounts of $770,062 and $3,264,000 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. A
further discussion of the effects of these discontinued operations is included in Note 3 of the
notes to consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report.
Net Loss
Net losses incurred in all periods presented have been primarily due to the operating costs. These
expenses resulted in the net losses in the amount of $2,248,665 and $5,747,029 for the years ended
December 31, 2009 and 2008 respectively. The variances in the year over year net loss was due
primarily from operating expenses, as described above. At this time, normal costs of public
filing will continue, which requires significant expenditures for professional expense, and it is
not known when significant revenues will occur to off-set these expenses. Additionally, in efforts
to find alternative credit, the Company has had the necessity to issue common stock in payment of
critical services. The costs incurred may not be indicative of the costs, had conventional
payment methods been available. Subsequent to the year end, the Company is seeking to acquire a
new operating company.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The net cash used in operating activities for the years ended December 31, 2009 was $716,690 which
was less than the $1,940,692 cash used in the same period for 2008 by approximately $1.2 million.
General and administrative expenses and other operating expenses, excluding non-cash charges of
impairment and stock-based compensation, remained reasonably consistent.
At the end of 2009, we did not believe our working capital is sufficient to implement the full
spectrum of our planned, new energy-saving business model. Operations in 2009 and most of 2008
have been funded in large part through the sale of our common stock. Based on the cash
requirements, the Company began to explore other business opportunities which in light of the
execution of the Purchase Agreement, filed December 17, 2009, likely will be limited to business
opportunities introduced by Purchasers, and included the disposition of our current existing
businesses.

Debenture Financing
On February 4, 2010, we entered into securities purchase agreement (the Securities Purchase
Agreement) with an accredited investor pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue $200,000 of
its 6% Senior Convertible Debentures for an aggregate purchase price of $200,000 (the Debenture).
The Debenture bears interest at 6% per annum and matures twenty-four months from the date of
issuance. The Debenture is convertible at the option of the holder at any time into shares of
common stock, at an initial conversion price equal to the lesser of (i) $0.05 per share or (ii)
until the eighteen (18) months anniversary of the Debenture, the lowest price paid per share or the
lowest conversion price per share in a subsequent sale of the Companys equity and/or convertible
debt securities paid by investors after the date of the Debenture (Initial Conversion Price).
In connection with the Agreement, the investor received a warrant to purchase 4,000,000 shares of
the Companys common stock (the Warrant). The Warrant is exercisable for a period of five years
from the date of issuance at an initial exercise price of $0.05 (the Initial Exercise Price),
subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. The investor may exercise the Warrant on a cashless
basis if the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Warrant) of one share of common stock is greater
than the Initial Exercise Price.
In addition, on December 17, 2009, the Company entered into securities purchase agreement (the
December 2009 Purchase Agreement) with an accredited investor (the December 2009 Investor)
pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue $75,000 of its 6% Senior Convertible Debentures for
an aggregate purchase price of $75,000. Pursuant to the terms of the December 2009 Purchase
Agreement, the December 2009 Investor was granted to right to receive the benefit of any more
favorable terms or provisions provided to subsequent investors for a period of 18 months following
the closing of the transaction. As a result of the issuance of the securities pursuant to the
Securities Purchase Agreement, the December 2009 Investor was entitled to receive the securities
issued to the Investor pursuant to the terms of the December 2009 Purchase Agreement. As a result,
the December 2009 Investor was issued a Debenture in the aggregate principal amount of $75,000 and
received a warrant to purchase 1,500,000 shares of the Companys common stock on the same terms and
conditions as the Investor described above and the previously issued Debenture was cancelled.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Financial Accounting Standards Board and other standard-setting bodies issued new or
modifications to, or interpretations of, existing accounting standards during the year. The Company
has carefully considered the new pronouncements that alter previous generally accepted accounting
principles and does not believe that any new or modified principles will have a material impact on
the corporations reported financial position or operations in the near term. These recently
issued pronouncements have been addressed in the footnotes to the financial statements.
Critical Accounting Policies
The results of operations are based on preparation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of financial
statements requires management to select accounting policies for critical accounting areas as well
as estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. The
Companys accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 to Notes of Financial Statements
found in the Companys annual financial statements filed with this Form 10-K. We have identified
the following accounting policy and related judgment as critical to understanding the results of
our operations.
The Company prepares its financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States of America. These principals require 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. Management believes that these estimates are
reasonable and have been discussed with the Board of Directors; however, actual results could
differ from those estimates.
9
The Company issues restricted stock to consultants for various services. Cost for these
transactions are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the
equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably
measurable. The value of the common stock is measured at the earlier of (i) the date at which a
firm commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached or
(ii) the date at which the counterpartys performance is complete.
Long-lived assets such as property, equipment and identifiable intangibles are reviewed for
impairment whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be
recoverable. When required impairment losses on assets to be held and used are recognized based on
the fair value of the asset. The fair value is determined based on estimates of future cash flows,
market value of similar assets, if available, or independent appraisals, if required. If the
carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows, an
impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the
asset. When fair values are not available, the Company estimates fair value using the expected
future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk associated with the recovery of
the assets.
The Company evaluates deferred tax assets for future realization and reduced by a valuation
allowance to the extent we believe a portion will not be realized. We consider many factors when
assessing the likelihood of future realization of our deferred tax assets including our recent
cumulative earnings experience, expectations of future taxable income, the carry-forward periods
available to us for tax reporting purposes and other relevant factors. At December 31, 2009, our
net deferred tax assets are comprised principally of net operating loss carry forwards (NOLs).
Classification of deferred tax assets between current and long-term categories is based on the
expected timing of realization, and the valuation allowance is allocated on a prorate basis.
We have reflected a valuation allowance of 100%, which resulted in an income tax benefit of zero.
The range of possible judgments relating to the valuation of our deferred tax asset is very wide.
If we had concluded that the weight of available evidence supported a decision that substantially
all of our deferred tax assets may be realized, we would have a substantial income tax benefit in
our statement of operations. Significant judgment is required in making this assessment, and it is
very difficult to predict when, if ever, our assessment may conclude our deferred tax assets is
realizable.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
The Company qualifies as a smaller reporting company, as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1), and is not
required to provide the information required by this Item.
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.
Our financial statements are contained herein commencing on page F-1, which appear at the end of
this annual report.
Item 9. Changes In and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
On April 13, 2009, we engaged Randall N. Drake, C.P.A., (Drake) as our independent auditor and
dismissed our previous auditor Ferlita, Walsh & Gonzalez, PA (FW&G). We have had no
disagreements with Drake or FW&G on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial
statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, in connection with its reports.
Item 9A(T). Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act), that are designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the
Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in
Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such
information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive
Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing
10
and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures,
no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance
that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing
disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment
in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The
design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions
about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed
in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
With respect to the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009, under the supervision and with the
participation of our management, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and
operations of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon this evaluation, the Companys
management has concluded that its disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of
December 31, 2009 due to the Companys limited internal resources and lack of ability to have
multiple levels of transaction review.
Management is in the process of determining how best to change our current system and implement a
more effective system to insure that information required to be disclosed in this annual report on
Form 10-K has been recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately. Our management
acknowledges the existence of this problem, and intends to developed procedures to address them to
the extent possible given limitations in financial and manpower resources. While management is
working on a plan, no assurance can be made at this point that the implementation of such controls
and procedures will be completed in a timely manner or that they will be adequate once implemented.
Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over
financial reporting as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act.
With respect to the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009, under the supervision and with the
participation of our management, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and
operations of our internal controls over financial reporting, and based on the criteria for
effective internal control described in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based upon our evaluation
regarding the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009, the Companys management, including its Chief
Executive Officer, has concluded that its internal controls over financial reporting were not
effective due to the Companys limited internal resources and lack of ability to have multiple
levels of transaction review.
Management is in the process of determining how best to change our current system and implement a
more effective system to insure that information required to be disclosed in this Annual Report on
Form 10-K has been recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately. Our management
acknowledges the existence of this problem, and intends to developed procedures to address them to
the extent possible given limitations in financial and manpower resources. While management is
working on a plan, no assurance can be made at this point that the implementation of such controls
and procedures will be completed in a timely manner or that they will be adequate once implemented.
All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations including the
possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of controls. Further, because of
changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal controls may vary over time. Projections of
any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or
procedures may deteriorate. Accordingly, even those systems determined to be effective can provide
us only with reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of the Companys independent
registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.
Managements report was not subject to attestation by the Companys independent registered public
accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only
managements report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
11
Changes in Internal Controls.
There have been no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting during the
three months ended December 31, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, the Companys internal controls over financial reporting.
Item 9B. Other Information.
None.

The Board believes that each of the Companys directors is highly qualified to serve as a member of
the Board. Each of the directors has contributed to the mix of skills, core competencies and
qualifications of the Board. The Board of Directors does not have a formal policy with respect to
diversity; however, the Board of Directors believes that it is important for its members to
represent diverse viewpoints. When evaluating candidates for election to the Board, the Board
seeks candidates with certain qualities that it believes are important, including integrity, an
objective perspective, good judgment, leadership skills. The continuing service by our directors
promotes stability and continuity in the boardroom and gives us the benefit of their familiarity
and insights into our business.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
To our knowledge, during the past ten years, none of our directors, executive officers, promoters,
control persons, or nominees has been:
|
|
the subject of any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such
person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or

the Commodity Exchange Act (7 U.S.C. 1(a)(29))), or any equivalent exchange, association,
entity or organization that has disciplinary authority over its members or persons associated
with a member. |
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Our business, property and affairs are managed by or under the direction of the board of directors.
Members of the board are kept informed of our business through discussion with the executive
officers and other officers, by reviewing materials provided to them and by participating at
meetings of the board and its committees.
A majority of the authorized number of directors constitutes a quorum of the Board of Directors for
the transaction of business. The directors must be present at the meeting to constitute a quorum.
However, any action required or permitted to be taken by the Board of Directors may be taken
without a meeting if all members of the Board of Directors individually or collectively consent in
writing to the action. The Companys Board of Directors undertook corporate action a total of 13
times and held 3 meetings during the year ended December 31, 2009. No director failed to attend
less than 75% of the meetings held during the period such director was a member of the Board of
Directors.
We presently do not have any committees of our board of directors. However, our board of directors
intends to establish various committees at a later date.
Nominating Committee
The Board of Directors does not have a standing nominating committee. Nominations for election to
the Board of Directors may be made by the Board of Directors or by any shareholder entitled to vote
for the election of directors in accordance with our bylaws and Florida law.
Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert
The Board of Directors acts as the audit committee but it intends on appointing an audit committee
in the future. The Company does not have an audit committee financial expert at this time since
the Company believes that it has inadequate financial resources at this time to hire such an
expert. The Company intends to continue to search for a qualified individual for hire.
Director Independence
Glenn Kesner and Daniel Wood are independent directors, as that term is defined under the NASDAQ
Marketplace Rules.
Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight
Although we have not adopted a formal policy on whether the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
positions should be separate or combined, we have traditionally determined that it is in the best
interests of the Company and its shareholders to combine these roles.
14
Our Board of Directors is primarily responsible for overseeing our risk management processes. The
Board of Directors receives and reviews periodic reports from management, auditors, legal counsel,
and others, as considered appropriate regarding our Companys assessment of risks. The Board of
Directors focuses on the most significant risks facing our Company and our Companys general risk
management strategy, and also ensures that risks undertaken by our Company are consistent with the
Boards appetite for risk. While the Board oversees our Companys risk management, management is
responsible for day-to-day risk management processes. We believe this division of responsibilities
is the most effective approach for addressing the risks facing our Company and that our Board
leadership structure supports this approach.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Under the securities laws of the United States, the Companys directors, executive officers, and
any persons holding more than five percent of the Companys Common Stock are required to report
their initial ownership of the Companys Common Stock and any subsequent changes in their ownership
to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Specific due dates have been established by the
SEC, and the Company is required to disclose in this Information Statement any failure to file by
those dates. Based upon (i) the copies of Section 16(a) reports that the Company received from such
persons for their 2009 fiscal year transactions, the Company believes that there has been
compliance with all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to such officers, directors, and
five-percent beneficial owners for such fiscal year.
Code of Ethics
We have adopted a code of ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal
financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar
functions. Our code of ethics will be provided to any person without charge, upon request.
Requests should be addressed to Investor Relations Department, c/o EClips Energy Technologies,
Inc., 3900 31st Street North, St. Petersburg, Florida 33714.
Director Compensation
For the year ended December 31, 2009, we did not have any compensation arrangements in place for
members of our Board of Directors and have not finalized any plan to compensate directors in the
future for their services as directors. We may develop a compensation plan for our independent
directors in order to attract qualified persons and to retain them. We expect that the compensation
arrangements may be comprised of a combination of cash and/or equity awards.
Item 11. Executive Compensation.
The following table sets forth the cash compensation (including cash bonuses) paid or accrued and
equity awards granted by us for years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 to our Chief Executive
Officer and our most highly compensated officers other than the Chief Executive Officer at December
31, 2009 whose total compensation exceeded $100,000.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Shareholders of EClips Energy Technologies, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of EClips Energy Technologies, Inc. as
of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders
equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the 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. The
Company is not required at this time, to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its
internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control
over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Companys internal controls over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. 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 provided a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audit and the report of other auditors, the financial statements
referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company
as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years
ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will
continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements, the
Company has had recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations. These conditions raise
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans regarding
those matters also are described in Note 11. The consolidated financial statements do not include
any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

ECLIPS ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009 AND 2008
1. Business Organization and Significant Accounting Policies:
Organization
The Company, formerly known as Advanced 3-D Ultrasound Services, Inc. was incorporated on September
23, 1997. Advanced 3D Ultrasound Services, Inc. merged with a private Florida corporation known as
World Energy Solutions, Inc. effective August 17, 2005. Advanced 3D Ultrasound Services, Inc.
remained as the surviving entity as the legal acquirer, and the Company also was the accounting
acquirer. On November 7, 2005, Advanced 3-D Ultrasound Services, Inc. changed its name to World
Energy Solutions, Inc. (WESI).
On November 7, 2005, WESI merged with Professional Technical Systems, Inc. (PTS). WESI remained
as the surviving entity as the legal acquirer, while PTS was the accounting acquirer. On February
26, 2009, the Company changed its name to EClips Energy Technologies, Inc.
On December 22, 2009, in a private equity transaction (Purchase Agreement), the majority
shareholder (Seller) entered into agreement, whereby the Purchasers collectively purchased from the
Seller an aggregate of (i) 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company and (ii) 1,500,000
shares of series D preferred stock, $0.001 par value (the Preferred Stock), comprising, 82 % of
the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company, for the aggregate purchase price,
including expenses, of $100,000.
In connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Company and Seller entered into a release pursuant
to which in consideration for the termination of Sellers employment agreement, dated January 31,
2006, the Company issued to Seller 1,100,000 shares of the Companys common stock. Furthermore,
the Company agreed to transfer to Seller or Sellers designee, Pure Air Technologies, Inc.,
Hydrogen Safe Technologies, Inc., World Energy Solutions Limited and Advanced Alternative Energy,
Inc. and granted to Seller a five-year option for the purchase of H-Hybrid Technologies, Inc.
During late 2009, the Company began to explore other business opportunities which in light of the
execution of the Purchase Agreement will be limited to business opportunities introduced by
Purchasers, and disposition of its existing businesses. The Purchasers have targeted a privately
owned online sports marketing and fantasy sports website and related businesses (the Proposed
Business) is being proposed to be acquired. Certain of the Purchasers own debt and equity
securities in the Proposed Business.
Discontinued Operations
The Company was in the business of manufacturing and selling transient voltage surge suppressors
and related products and commercial and residential energy-saving equipment and applications to
distributors and customers throughout the United States. The Company is located in St. Petersburg,
Florida. At the end of 2009 the Companys management decided to discontinue such operations and
prior periods have been restated in the Companys financial statements and related footnotes to
conform to this presentation.
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements included the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiaries:
EClips Energy Technologies, Inc.
Pure Air Technologies, Inc. (PATI)
Hydrogen Safe Technologies, Inc. (HSTI)
Advanced Alternative Energy, Inc. (AAEI)
H-Hybrid Technologies, Inc. (HHTI)
Significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
World Energy Solutions, Limited was created during 2007 to serve as a platform for marketing the
Companys products and developments in the UK and all European Union countries, when the time is
right. The entity does not have activity and has not been capitalized, and therefore, it is not
consolidated.
In connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Company and Seller entered into a release agreement
whereby the Company agreed to transfer to Seller or Sellers designee, Pure Air Technologies, Inc.,
Hydrogen Safe Technologies, Inc., World Energy Solutions Limited and Advanced Alternative Energy,
Inc. and granted to Seller a five-year option for the purchase of H-Hybrid Technologies, Inc. Thus
until December 22, 2009, the execution date of the Purchase Agreement, the consolidated financial
statements included the accounts of four wholly-owned subsidiaries, Pure Air Technologies, Inc.,
Hydrogen Safe Technologies, Inc., World Energy Solutions Limited and Advanced Alternative Energy,
Inc. At the end of 2009 the Companys management decided to discontinue the operations of the above
wholly-owned subsidiaries.
F-6
Comparative Statements
In August 2009, the Companys Board of Directors approved a reverse split of the Companys common
stock by a ratio of one (1) share for each one hundred fifty (150) shares issued and outstanding
(1-for-150 reverse). All shares and per share values are retroactively stated at the post
stock-split shares.
Use of Estimates
The Company prepares its financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States of America. These principals require 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. Management believes that these estimates are
reasonable and have been discussed with the Board of Directors; however, actual results could
differ from those estimates.
ASB Accounting Standards Codification
The issuance by the FASB of the Accounting Standards CodificationTM (the Codification)
on July 1, 2009 (effective for interim or annual reporting periods ending after September 15,
2009), changes the way that GAAP is referenced. Beginning on that date, the Codification officially
became the single source of authoritative nongovernmental GAAP; however, SEC registrants must also
consider rules, regulations, and interpretive guidance issued by the SEC or its staff. The change
affects the way the Company refers to GAAP in financial statements and in its accounting policies.
All existing standards that were used to create the Codification became superseded. Instead,
references to standards consist solely of the number used in the Codifications structural
organization.
Subsequent Events
In May 2009, the FASB issued ASC Topic 855: Subsequent Events (ASC855), which establishes general
standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but
before financial statements are issued. For purposes of determining whether a post-balance sheet
event should be evaluated to determine whether it has an effect on the financial statements for the
year ended December 31, 2009, subsequent events were evaluated by the Company as of April 5, 2010,
the date on which the consolidated financial statements at and for the year ended December 31,
2009, were available to be issued.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures (ASC 820), for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing generally accepted
accounting principles that require the use of fair value measurements, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements. The adoption of
ASC 820 did not have an impact on the Companys financial position or operating results, but did
expand certain disclosures.
ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer
a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
Additionally, ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable
inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized below:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Level 1:
|
|
Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Level 2:
|
|
Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Level 3:
|
|
Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the
reporting entitys own assumptions. |
Cash and cash equivalents include money market securities that are considered to be highly liquid
and easily tradable as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. These securities are valued
using inputs observable in active markets for identical securities and are therefore classified as
Level 1 within our fair value hierarchy.
In addition, FASB ASC 825-10-25 Fair Value Option was effective for January 1, 2008. ASC 825-10-25
expands opportunities to use fair value measurements in financial reporting and permits entities to
choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The Company did
not elect the fair value options for any of its qualifying financial instruments.
The carrying amounts of current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair value because
of the relatively short period of time between the origination of these instruments and their
expected realization. As of year-end December 31, 2009, the Company had completed the distribution
of all existing assets of the pre-Agreement operating Company.
F-7
Cash
The majority of cash is maintained with a major financial institution in the United States.
Deposits with this bank may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally,
these deposits may be redeemed on demand and, therefore, bear minimal risk. The Company considers
all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be
cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable consisted of amounts due for the delivery of finished goods sales to customers.
Revenue is recognized when shipments are made to customers. The Company recognizes a sale when
the product has been shipped and risk of loss has passed to the customer. An allowance for
doubtful accounts is considered to be established for any amounts that may not be recoverable,
which is based on an analysis of the Companys customer credit worthiness, and current economic
trends. Receivables are determined to be past due, based on payment terms of original invoices.
The Company does not typically charge interest on past due receivables.
Inventory
Inventory was stated at the lower of average cost or market, using the first-in, first-out method,
and includes costs of materials, labor and manufacturing overhead. Inventory was comprised of raw
materials, work-in-progress and finished goods.
Property and Equipment and Intangible Assets
Equipment was recorded at historical cost. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method
over estimated useful lives (three to seven years for equipment, thirty-nine for leasehold
improvements). Capital leases are included as a component of property and equipment and
amortization of assets under capital leases is included in depreciation expense. The carrying
amount of all long-lived assets is evaluated periodically to determine if adjustment to the
depreciation and amortization period or the unamortized balance is warranted. All property and
equipment were written off and included in the disposal of assets from discontinued operations.
The Company recorded intangible license for $988,660 related to acquisitions of patent rights and
certain other intellectual property, secured from an unrelated company. The Company valued these
licenses based on the value of the stock issued, as the Company believes that this is the more
reliable measurement. The intellectual property consists primarily of patents and patent
applications, which the Company has estimated has a useful life of ten to seventeen years. All
patents and intangible assets have been impaired due to the lack of necessary funds to develop the
technologies and included in the dissolution of the Company assets.
Long-lived assets such as property, equipment and identifiable intangibles are reviewed for
impairment whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be
recoverable. When required impairment losses on assets to be held and used are recognized based on
the fair value of the asset. The fair value is determined based on estimates of future cash flows,
market value of similar assets, if available, or independent appraisals, if required. If the
carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows, an
impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the
asset. When fair values are not available, the Company estimates fair value using the expected
future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk associated with the recovery of
the assets.
The Company recognized $770,062 and $3,264,000 of impairment losses included in the loss from
discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. For the
year ended December 31, 2009, the Company disposed of any remaining assets, in consideration of the
Purchase Agreement dated December 17, 2009
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method which provides that deferred tax
assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the tax bases of assets and
liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purpose, referred to as temporary
differences. Deferred tax assets and liabilities at the end of each period are determined using the
currently enacted tax rates applied to taxable income in the periods in which the deferred tax
assets and liabilities are expected to be settled or realized.
Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount
expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus
or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Freight Costs
The Company includes freight-in costs in cost of goods sold. Total freight-in included in cost of
goods sold for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $3,831 and $8,813, respectively. Such
expense related to the discontinued operations are included in the loss from discontinued
operations and prior periods have been restated in the Companys financial statements and related
footnotes to conform to this presentation.
F-8
Advertising Expense
The Company follows the policy of charging advertising and promotions to expense as incurred.
Advertising expense was $5,665 and $4,267 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. Such expense related to the discontinued operations are included in the loss from
discontinued operations and prior periods have been restated in the Companys financial statements
and related footnotes to conform to this presentation
Research and Development
The Company expenses research and development costs when incurred. Indirect costs related to
research and developments are allocated based on percentage usage to the research and development.
Capitalized research and development assets with alternative future uses are amortized to research
and development expense over the estimated useful life of the asset. Research and development
costs were expensed, for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 in the amount of $235,577 and
$282,441, respectively. Such expense related to the discontinued operations are included in the
loss from discontinued operations and prior periods have been restated in the Companys financial
statements and related footnotes to conform to this presentation
Earnings (loss) per common share

Potentially dilutive options and preferred stock conversion were not included in the computation of
dilutive net earnings per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. There were no
dilutive common stock equivalents as of December 31, 2009.
Share Based Payments
All share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options to be recognized
as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values. That expense is
recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for
the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). The Company had no
additional common stock options or common stock equivalents granted for all periods presented and
all compensation has been recognized for previous issuances.
The Company, at times, issues restricted stock to consultants for various services. Cost for these
transactions are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the
equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of the common stock is
measured at the earlier of (i) the date at which a firm commitment for performance by the
counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached or (ii) the date at which the counterpartys
performance is complete. The Company recognized consulting expenses and a corresponding increase
to additional paid-in-capital related to stock issued for services.
Stock compensation, when issued, were issued to consultants for past services provided,
accordingly, all shares issued are fully vested, and there is no unrecognized compensation
associated with these transactions. Stock based compensation was $851,316 and $308,000, for the
years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
2. Mergers and acquisitions:
Pure Air Technologies, Inc. (PATI)
On October 11, 2006, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of Pure Air
Technologies, Inc. (PATI), a subsidiary of UTEK Corporation in a tax free stock for stock exchange.
PATI was incorporated in the State of Florida on August 7, 2006 and had no prior accounting
activity and no liabilities as of the date of the acquisition. The Company issued 100,000 shares of
the Company Series A convertible preferred stock in exchange for $300,000 cash, $231,709 of prepaid
sponsored research and license agreements, including a worldwide exclusive license in the field of
air purification, for a technology designed to help eliminate organic and biological airborne
organisms. The Preferred Stock issued in the exchange is restricted and may only be resold
pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933. The 100,000 shares of preferred stock
plus $202,500 of accrued dividends were converted into 56,250 (8,437,500 pre-reverse split) shares
of common stock on October 17, 2007.
F-9
The intellectual rights related to the purchase of PATI were valued at $3,456,631 at the time of
the acquisition. While the Company anticipates further development of the related technology, as of
December 31, 2006, the technology had not yet been tested on the market nor had there been any
related sales. Estimation of future sales could not be determined as the technology is not yet
ready to be introduced into the market place and knowledge of when or if the Company can fully
develop the technology is not known. In addition, the consideration of other similar technology
entering the market prior to the Company cannot be determined. Based on the above factors, the
Company concluded that the valuation of the intangible could not be fully supported and therefore
as of December 31, 2006, the Company deemed the intellectual rights impaired and wrote them off
during 2006.
As of December 31, 2009, the PATI assets and liabilities were disposed of through the assumption of
assets and liabilities by the prior majority shareholder.
Hydrogen Safe Technologies, Inc. (HSTI)
On September 28, 2007, the Company acquired Hydrogen Safe Technologies, Inc. (HSTI) in a tax-free
stock for stock exchange. As consideration for the agreement, the Company issued 50,000 (7,500,000
pre-reverse split) unregistered shares of common stock to UTEK Corporation in exchange for 100% of
the issued and outstanding shares of HSTI, assignment of an exclusive technology license for the
detection of hydrogen in vehicles, engines and / or water heaters using hydrogen and oxygen,
prepaid consulting fees, related to a nine month consulting agreement, and $450,000 cash.
The acquisition of HSTI was considered to be a purchase of productive assets, as a result of the
analysis of the inputs, processes and outputs and consideration of the total concentration of the
fair value of the transferred assets to the acquisition. Accordingly, no goodwill was recognized
on the purchase.
The purchase price of $3,825,000 was based on the stock closing price on the date of acquisition.
The resulting intangible asset of $3,332,650 was analyzed and although the Company anticipates
further development of the related technology, the technology had not yet been tested on the market
nor had there been any related sales. Estimation of future sales could not be determined as the
technology is not ready to be introduced into the market place and knowledge of when or if the
Company can fully develop the technology is not known. In addition, consideration of other similar
technology entering the market prior to the Company cannot be determined. Based on the above
factors, the Company concluded that the capitalized value of the intangible could not be supported
and therefore the Company deemed the intangible asset to be fully impaired and recognized the
expense in 2007.
The HSTI license agreement has 3% royalties due on net sales of the licensed product which can be
netted against required minimum annual royalties. For the year 2008-2009, $5,000 minimum royalties
are due and payable January 31, 2010; for years 2009-2010, the minimum royalty is $10,000; for
years 2010-2011 the minimum royalty is $15,000; after 2011 the minimum annual royalties are
$30,000. All minimum royalties are due and payable on January 31, of the following calendar year.
The agreement can be terminated on thirty days notice if the Company fails to pay any due and
payable royalties and the license would revert back to the licensor and all royalties and payments
would cease.
As of December 31, 2009, the HSTI assets and liabilities were disposed of through the assumption of
assets and liabilities by the prior majority shareholder.
Advanced Alternative Energy, Inc. (AAEI)
On June 10, 2008, the Company acquired Advanced Alternative Energy, Inc. (AAEI) in a tax free stock
for stock exchange. AAEI was incorporated in the State of Florida on May 20, 2008. As
consideration for the agreement, the Company issued 100,000 shares of Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock to UTEK Corporation in exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of
AAEI, assignment of an exclusive technology license for the production and preparation of
mechanically and electrochemically stable electrodes and transition metal oxide catalysts; prepaid
consulting fees and $200,000 cash.
The preferred shares may be converted by the holder at any time into common stock prior to the
sixty month anniversary of the execution of the agreement into the value of $3,500,000 of common
shares of the Company, based on the average of the five day closing price prior to the conversion.
At any time after six months and before the sixty month anniversary of the execution of the
agreement, the Company will have the right, at its sole discretion, to repurchase at an agreed upon
percentage value, any non-converted shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. The shares
may be repurchased within twelve months at 105%; within thirteen and twenty-four months at 110%;
within twenty-five and thirty-six months at 115%; and at any time after thirty-six months at 120%
of the value of the original pro rata purchase price. The convertible preferred shares have no
voting rights. The 100,000 shares of preferred stock were converted into 367,454 (55,118,111
pre-reverse split) shares of common stock on May 7, 2009.
F-10
The acquisition of AAEI was considered to be a purchase of productive assets, as a result of the
analysis of the inputs, processes and outputs and consideration of the fair value of the
transferred assets to the acquisition. Accordingly, no goodwill was recognized on the purchase.
Royalties will become due on a quarterly basis based upon the net sales of any of the licensed
products sold from the technology license. Royalties are to be paid within ninety days and are
based on 3% of the net sales on the licensed products. The royalty obligations will terminate on a
country by country basis upon the expiration of the last to expire licensed patent covering the
licensed product in each such country. Twelve months after the first anniversary of the execution
of the license agreement, minimum annual royalties become due. The minimum royalty due for the
second anniversary year of the executed agreement is $5,000; for the third anniversary is $10,000;
for the fourth anniversary is $15,000 and for the fifth anniversary thereafter until the end of the
license term is $30,000. AAEI will reimburse any patent costs incurred to maintain or control the
patents related to the technology and licensed products.
The prepaid consulting expenses relate to technical consulting services to be provided related to
the license. The consulting agreement was entered into by UTEK on the behalf of AAEI and per the
agreement any additional consulting expenses will be the direct responsibility of UTEK.
The purchase price of $3,500,000 was based on the agreed face value of the Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock as of the date of acquisition. The resulting intangible asset of $3,264,000 was
analyzed and although the Company anticipates further development of the related technology, as of
June 30, 2008, the technology had not yet been tested on the market nor had there been any related
sales. Estimation of future sales could not be determined as the technology is not ready to be
introduced into the market place and knowledge of when or if the Company can fully develop the
technology is not known. In addition, consideration of other similar technology entering the
market prior to the Company cannot be determined. Based on the above factors, the Company
concluded that the valuation of the intangible could not be supported and therefore as of June 30,
2008, the Company deemed the intangible asset to be totally impaired and wrote it off.
As of December 31, 2009, the AAEI assets and liabilities were disposed of through the assumption of
assets and liabilities by the prior majority shareholder.
H-Hybrid Technologies, Inc. (HHTI)
On September 26, 2008, the Company acquired H-Hybrid Technologies, Inc. (HHTI) in a tax-free stock
for stock exchange. HHTI was incorporated in the State of Florida on September 18, 2008. As
consideration for the agreement, the Company issued 100,000 shares of Series C Convertible
Preferred Stock to UTEK Corporation and 33,333 (5,000,000 pre-reverse split) unregistered common
shares, restricted for twelve months after the effective date, to Hydrogen Technology Application,
Inc. (HTA) in exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of HHTI and assignment of an
exclusive technology license for the use of three patents and one patent applied for but not yet
issued. The patents were acquired to complement and further assist our research and development
efforts.
The acquisition of HHTI is considered to be a purchase of productive assets, as a result of the
analysis of the inputs, processes and outputs and consideration of the total concentration of the
fair value of the transferred assets to the acquisition. Accordingly, no goodwill will be
recognized on the purchase. The identifiable assets of HHTI include cash and assignment of an
exclusive technology license for the use of three patents and one patent applied for but not yet
issued.
The Series C Convertible Preferred Stock has no voting rights, no liquidation preferences and no
dividend rights. The holder may convert the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock at any time into
common stock prior to the sixty-month anniversary of the execution of the agreement. The 100,000
shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock are convertible into $3,750,000 of our common
shares, based on the average of the five-day closing price prior to the conversion. At any time
after six months and before the sixty month anniversary of the execution of the agreement, the
Company will have the right, at its sole discretion, to repurchase at an agreed upon percentage
value, any outstanding shares of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. The outstanding shares
of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock shares may be repurchased within twelve months at 105%
of the aforementioned conversion price; within thirteen and twenty-four months at 110% of the
aforementioned conversion price; within twenty-five and thirty-six months at 115% of the
aforementioned conversion price; and at any time after thirty-six months at a 120% of the
aforementioned conversion price. The convertible preferred shares have no voting rights. The
100,000 shares of preferred stock were converted into 159,236 (238,853,503 pre-reverse split)
shares of common stock on June 29, 2009.
F-11
The valuation of the intangible assets purchased were based the number of shares, convertible at
the time of agreement, at the fair market rate. This amount was discounted, based on SEC Rule 144
limitations, and the historical trading volume and the size of the block relative to the Companys
total number of common stock equivalent shares outstanding, management determined that the market
would be unable to absorb the block at the calculated price and that it was appropriate to deduct a
discount from that price to reflect the lack of liquidity. Utilizing dribble out methodology over
various assumed periods, management developed a range of potential discounts to reflect the lack of
liquidity of the subject shares. Management believes a discount of 80% is appropriate given the
facts and circumstances of this valuation. Thus, the resulting value for the consideration given
for the assets acquired in this transaction, net of cash received in the transaction, is $818,000.
Royalties to HTA will become due on a bi-annual basis based upon the net sales of any of the
licensed products sold from the technology license. Royalties are to be paid within thirty days
and are based on 3% of the net sales on the licensed products. No minimum royalties shall be
required for the first twelve months after the effective date of the agreement; however each
succeeding twelve months after the effective date of the agreement minimum annual royalties become
due.
The minimum royalty due for the second through the fifth (September 2010 2013) anniversary of the
executed agreement is $20,000 and then thereafter the minimum royalty payment become $50,000 per
year. The minimum annual royalties are fully creditable against any actual earned royalties paid
during the previous twelve month period. The minimum royalties are not refundable in any part and
if any payment becomes delinquent it shall bear interest at an annual rate of one and one-half
(1.5) percentage points above the prime rate quoted on the last day of said period by a designated
major financial institution.
In connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Company and Seller entered into a release whereby
the Company agreed to transfer to Seller or Sellers designee, Pure Air Technologies, Inc.,
Hydrogen Safe Technologies, Inc., World Energy Solutions Limited and Advanced Alternative Energy,
Inc. and granted to Seller a five-year option for the purchase of H-Hybrid Technologies, Inc.
3. Discontinued Operations:
The Company disposed of operations at the end of 2009. All previous operating assets were
disposed, liquidated against the existing liabilities. As of December 31, 2009 there remained no
assets and $167,686 of liabilities of the prior operations, resulting in a loss on disposition of
$217,713, which was included in Loss from discontinued operations on the statement of operations.

Included in the expenses of the discontinued operations is depreciation expense totaled $48,781 and
$48,172 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Interest expense was not
allocated to the discontinued operations.
Discontinued operations is reported net of tax, however, tax provisions for the benefit of the tax
loss have been off-set by valuation allowances.
4. Intangible Assets:
Intellectual property, license agreements and website development costs were capitalized at the
time of acquisition. Intellectual property and licenses were being amortized over a life of 10-17
years. Amortization expense was for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $109,874 and
$42,805, respectively.
The Companys financial position required a cease of any and all research and development projects.
Accordingly, management has determined that the uncertainty involved with the intangibles would be
impaired, as there is no reasonable basis for any future discounted cash flow considerations. The
Company recognized impairment costs of $770,062 and $3,264,000 for the years ended December 31,
2009 and 2008, respectively, and such expense is included in the loss from discontinued operations.
Additionally, based on the Sellers Agreement, the Company recognized all intangible assets, except
for HHTI, in the disposition of discontinued operations.
5. Debenture Financing
On December 17, 2009, to obtain funding for working capital, the Company entered into securities
purchase agreement with an accredited investor pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue its 6%
Senior Convertible Debentures for an aggregate purchase price of $75,000. The Debenture bears
interest at 6% per annum and matures twenty-four months from the date of issuance. The Debenture
will be convertible at the option of the holder at any time into shares of common stock, at an
initial conversion price equal to the lesser of (i) $0.05 per share or (ii) until the eighteen (18)
months anniversary of the Debenture, the lowest price paid per share or the lowest conversion price
per share in a subsequent sale of the Companys equity and/or convertible debt securities paid by
investors after the date of the Debenture.
In accordance with ASC Topic 815 Derivatives and Hedging, this convertible debenture
includes a down-round provision under which the conversion price could be affected by future
equity offerings. Instruments with down-round protection are not considered indexed to a
companys own stock under ASC Topic 815, because neither the occurrence of a sale of common
stock by the company at market nor the issuance of another equity-linked instrument with a
lower strike price is an input to the fair value of a fixed-for-fixed option on equity
shares. This convertible instrument was treated as a discount on the 6% Senior Convertible
debentures and was valued at $67,380 to be amortized over the debenture term. The fair value
was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the
following weighted-average assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility
of 231%; risk-free interest rate of 0.77% and an expected holding period of two years.
6. Derivative Liabilities
In June 2008, a FASB approved guidance related to the determination of whether a
freestanding equity-linked instrument should be classified as equity or debt under the
provisions of FASB ASC Topic No. 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging Contracts in an Entitys
Own Stock. The adoption of this requirement will affect accounting for convertible
instruments and warrants with provisions that protect holders from declines in the stock
price (down-round provisions). Warrants with such provisions will no longer be recorded in
equity and would have to be reclassified to a liability. The Issue is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim
periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application by an entity that has previously
adopted an alternative accounting policy is not permitted.
Instruments with down-round protection are not considered indexed to a companys own stock
under ASC Topic 815, because neither the occurrence of a sale of common stock by the company
at market nor the issuance of another equity-linked instrument with a lower strike price is
an input to the fair value of a fixed-for-fixed option on equity shares.
ASC Topic 815 guidance is to be applied to outstanding instruments as of the beginning of
the fiscal year in which the Issue is applied. The cumulative effect of the change in
accounting principle shall be recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained
earnings (or other appropriate components of equity) for that fiscal year, presented
separately. If an instrument is classified as debt, it is valued at fair value, and this
value is re-measured on an ongoing basis, with changes
recorded on the statement of operations in each reporting period. The Company did not have
outstanding instruments with down-round provisions as of the beginning of fiscal 2009 thus
no adjustment will be made to the opening balance of retained earnings.
F-13
In connection with the issuance of the 6% Senior Convertible Debentures on December 17,
2009, the Company has determined that the terms of the convertible debenture include a
down-round provision under which the conversion price could be affected by future equity
offerings undertaken by the Company until the 18 month anniversary of such
convertible debenture. Accordingly, the convertible instrument is accounted for as a
liability at the date of issuance and adjusted to fair value through earnings at each
reporting date. The Company has recognized a derivative liability of $67,380 at the date of
issuance. The gain resulting from the decrease in fair value of this convertible instrument
was $233 for the year ended December 31, 2009.
7. Lease Commitments:
The Company maintained one facility for the corporate office, manufacturing facilities and research
and development activities. The current facility lease has a term expiring on February 28, 2010.
During the term of the lease the Company is required to maintain comprehensive public liability
insurance, including property damage for the benefit of the Company and the lessor. The Company
did not renew this lease upon the lease expiration date
Rent expense on leases was $63,583 and $66,895 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively.

the fair market value of the common shares at the date of agreement and recorded as a prepayment
for the services to be rendered. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the full value of $250,000
had been recognized as expense.
In 2009 the Company entered into an employment agreement with their prior Chief Executive Officer.
The agreement provided an annual salary and 4,000 (600,000 pre-reverse split) shares of common
stock, immediately vested. The stock was valued at the fair market value at the date of issuance,
resulting in stock-based compensation expense of $13,200.
In connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Company and Mr. Croxton, the prior Chief
Executive Officer, entered into a release pursuant to which in consideration for the termination of
Mr. Croxtons employment agreement, the Company issued to Mr. Croxton 1,100,000 shares of the
Companys common stock. Furthermore, the Company agreed to transfer to Mr. Croxton or his
designee, Pure Air Technologies, Inc., Hydrogen Safe Technologies, Inc., World Energy Solutions
Limited and Advanced Alternative Energy, Inc. and granted to Mr. Croxton a five-year option for the
purchase of H-Hybrid Technologies, Inc.

The Company has recorded a 100% valuation allowance against the net deferred tax asset at December
31, 2009 and 2008 due to the uncertainty of its ultimate realization. The events of the Sellers
Agreement gives serious doubt for the Companys ability to utilize net operating losses in future
periods and, accordingly, have established a valuation allowance for the full amount of the
deferred tax assets. As time passes, management will be able to better assess the amount of tax
benefit it will realize from using the net deferred tax asset resulting from the loss carry
forwards. At December 31, 2009, the Company has available unused federal net operating losses of
approximately $18,800,000 that may be used against future taxable income and if not utilized, will
expire between 2024 and the end of 2029.
Income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 differ from the amounts computed by

the 20 million shares of common stock allocated for ultimate distribution by the Stock Plan. As of
December 31, 2009, the 2008 SGOP was suspended.
11. Commitment and Contingencies:
Going concern:
As reflected in the Statement of Operations, the Company has had recurring net losses and negative
cash flows from operations of $2,248,665 and $716,690, respectively. These factors are an
indication that the Company may not be able to continue as a going concern. To continue as a
going concern, the Company will need to raise additional capital, borrow funds, or generate more
revenues from current product sales and new product sales associated with the business plan
implementation. The Company entered into the Purchase Agreement, dated December 17, 2009, in
consideration of insufficient funding necessary to continue as a going concern and through this
agreement, the purchasing investors are in process of securing funds to execute the Companys new
business plan.
Legal matters:
From time to time the Company may be a party to litigation matters involving claims against the
Company. The Company is unaware of any unasserted claims and believes there are no outstanding
issues which may have a materially adverse effect on the Companys financial position.
12. Concentrations of Credit Risk:
The Company sells its products to customers on an open credit basis. The Companys trade accounts
receivable are due from such customers and are generally uncollateralized. For the year ended
December 31, 2009 and 2008 one customer accounted for approximately 14% of the Companys sales
related to discontinued operations.
13. Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
We have reviewed accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have effectiveness
dates during the periods reported and in future periods. We believe that the following impending
standards may have an impact on our future filings. The applicability of any standard is subject
to the formal review of our financial management and certain standards are under consideration.

14. Subsequent Events:
Debentures
On February 4, 2010 the Company entered into securities purchase agreement with an
accredited investor pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue $200,000 of its 6% Senior
Convertible Debentures for an aggregate purchase price of $200,000. The Debenture bears interest at
6% per annum and matures twenty-four months from the date of issuance. The Debenture is convertible
at the option of the holder at any time into shares of common stock, at an initial conversion price
equal to the lesser of (i) $0.05 per share or (ii) until the eighteen (18) months anniversary of
the Debenture, the lowest price paid per share or the lowest conversion price per share in a
subsequent sale of the Companys equity and/or convertible debt securities paid by investors after
the date of the Debenture. In connection with the Agreement, the Investor received a warrant to
purchase 4,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock. The Warrant is exercisable for a period of
five years from the date of issuance at an initial exercise price of $0.05, subject to adjustment
in certain circumstances. The Investor may exercise the Warrant on a cashless basis if the Fair
Market Value (as defined in the Warrant) of one share of common stock is greater than the Initial
Exercise Price. The warrants were treated as a discount on the 6% Senior Convertible debentures and
were valued at $200,000 to be amortized over the debenture term. The fair value of this warrant was
estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the following
weighted-average assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 219%; risk-free
interest rate of 2.29% and an expected holding period of five years.
On February 4, 2010, the Company amended the 6% Senior Convertible Debentures agreement dated
December 17, 2009. Pursuant to the terms of the original agreement, the investor was granted the
right to receive the benefit of any more favorable terms or provisions provided to subsequent
investors for a period of 18 months following the closing of the transaction. As a result of the
issuance of the $200,000 note payable above, the investor was issued a Debenture in the aggregate
principal amount of $75,000 and received a warrant to purchase 1,500,000 shares of the Companys
common stock on the same terms and conditions as previously described. The original Debenture was
cancelled. These warrants were treated as an additional discount on the 6% Senior Convertible
debentures amounting to $7,610 to be amortized over the debenture term. The fair value of this
warrant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the
following weighted-average assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 219%;
risk-free interest rate of 2.29% and an expected holding period of five years.

On March 22, 2010 the Company entered into securities purchase agreement with an accredited
investor pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue $50,000 of its 6% Senior Convertible
Debentures for an aggregate purchase price of $50,000. The Debenture bears interest at 6% per annum
and matures twenty-four months from the date of issuance. The Debenture is convertible at the
option of the holder at any time into shares of common stock, at an initial conversion price equal
to the lesser of (i) $0.05 per share or (ii)
until the eighteen (18) months anniversary of the Debenture, the lowest price paid per share or the
lowest conversion price per share in a subsequent sale of the Companys equity and/or convertible
debt securities paid by investors after the date of the Debenture. In connection with the
Agreement, the Investor received a warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Companys common
stock. The Warrant is exercisable for a period of five years from the date of issuance at an
initial exercise price of $0.05, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. The Investor may
exercise the Warrant on a cashless basis if the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Warrant) of
one share of common stock is greater than the Initial Exercise Price. The warrants were treated as
a discount on the 6% Senior Convertible debentures and were valued at $50,000 to be amortized over
the debenture term. The fair value of this warrant was estimated on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the following weighted-average assumptions: expected
dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 211%; risk-free interest rate of 2.43% and an expected
holding period of five years.
