The Company would like to caution certain readers regarding certain forward-looking statements in this documents and in all if its communications to shareholders and others, on managements projections, estimates and all other communications. Statements that are based on managements projections, estimates and assumptions are forward-looking statements, the words believe, expect, anticipate, intend and similar expressions generally identify forward-looking statements. While the Company believes in the veracity of all statements made herein, forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of estimates, and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by the Company, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies and know and unknown risks. Many of the uncertainties and contingencies can affect events and the Company's actual results and could cause its actual results to differ materially from this expressed in any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf, of the Company.

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

    CLX Investment Company, Inc. ("the Company" or "CLXN") was incorporated under the laws of Colorado under the name of Calvin Exploration Company, Inc. on December 12, 1977 to engage in any lawful activity as shall be appropriate under laws of the State of Colorado. The Company was organized to engage in on-shore oil and gas exploration, development and production in the continental United States. The Company's Oil and gas activities concentrated primarily in Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma and Wyoming. In 1993 the name of the Company was changed to CLX Energy, Inc. Up until this year the Company has engaged in only one industry segment and line of business, namely the acquisition, exploration, development and operation of oil and gas properties for its own account.

    On May 24, 2004 the company appointed new management and moved its headquarters to Temecula, CA. At the same time the Company formed CLX Oil & Gas, LLC a wholly owned subsidiary of CLX Energy, Inc. and transferred all of the oil and gas operations of the Company (including the assets and liabilities pertaining to such operations) into CLX Oil & Gas, LLC. On September 1, 2004 the Company sold 100% of its interest in CLX Oil & Gas, LLC to certain shareholders of the Company in exchange for shares of CLX Energy, Inc. The Board of Directors approved the "Securities purchase and Sale Agreement" and also obtained a fairness opinion from Lehrer Financial and Economic Advisory Service indicating that the Securities Purchase and Sale Agreement was a fair and equitable exchange. All Gas and Oil operations are being reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying financial reports.

    On September 13, 2004 the Company's Board of Directors elected to be regulated as a business investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. As a business development company ("BDC"), the Company is required to maintain at least 70% of its assets invested in "eligible portfolio companies", which are loosely defined as any domestic company which is not publicly traded or that has assets less than $4 million. On September 1, 2004 the Company changes it's name to CLX Investment Company, Inc. to properly reflect the nature of its business.

    There were no portfolio companies at the fiscal year ending September 30, 2004. Subsequently, on December 6, 2004 the company entered into an agreement to acquire 40% of eStrategy Solutions, Inc. a four-year-old e-learning and cost recovery solutions company, in exchange for $60,000 and an agreement to provide an operating line of credit. eStrategy Solutions, Inc is the Company's only portfolio investment at this time.

Investment Strategy

    CLX Investments Company, Inc. intends to make strategic investments in cash-flow positive companies with perceived growth potential. The Investment Committee has adopted a charter wherein these two criteria will be weighed against other criteria including strategic fit, investment amount, management ability, etc. In principle, the Company will prefer to make investments in companies where the Company can acquire at least a 51% ownership interest in the outstanding capital of the portfolio company, or exert some other management control.

    As a Business Development Company, the Company is required to have at least 70% of its assets in "eligible portfolio companies." It is stated in the Investment Committee Charter that the Company will endeavor to maintain this minimum asset ratio.

Portfolio Investments

    The Company presently has one portfolio investment: eStrategy Solutions, Inc., a Texas corporation specializing in the development, and marketing of e-learning software solutions. The Company owns 40% of the common stock of eStrategy Solutions, Inc., which it acquired in exchange for cash and an open line of credit. The investment in strategy Solutions, Inc. occurred subsequent to September 30, 2004, and is therefore omitted from the accompanying financial statements.

Employees

    Exclusive of eStrategy Solutions Inc., CLX Investment Company, Inc. presently has no employees who serve in administrative positions. Management has entered into an agreement with Javelin Advisory Group to provide administrative support for a monthly fee of $12,500. In this way overhead costs are kept at a minimum while still being able have a very talented administrative staff as part of the management team.

ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

    The Company uses 2,337 square feet in Temecula, CA, on a month-to-month basis as part of its management contract with Javelin Advisory Group.

    Management believes that its facilities are adequate for its present business.


ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

    CLX Investment Company, Inc. is not a party to any material pending legal proceedings and no such actions by, or to the best of its knowledge, against CLX Investment Company, Inc. has been threatened.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

    A special meeting of shareholders of CLX Investments Company, Inc. was held on August 30, 2004 where the following actions were taken by a majority vote of shareholders:

1. The Company's Articles of Incorporation were amended:

a. To authorize 2,000,000,000 shares of capital stock of the company, of which 1,980,000,000 with a par value of $.01 will relate to common stock, and 20,000,000 with a par value of $.01 will relate to preferred stock, subject to further designation by the Board of Directors of the Company.

b. To change the name of the corporation to CLX Investment Company, Inc.

c. To permit action upon the written consent of less than all shareholders of the Company.
 
d. To authorize the Company's Board of Directors, without the consent of the stockholders of the corporation, to adopt any recapitalization affecting the outstanding shares of capital stock of the corporation by effecting a forward or reverse split of all of the outstanding shares of any class of capital stock of the corporation, with appropriate adjustments to the corporation's capital accounts, provided that the recapitalization does not require any amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of the corporation.

Holders of record

    As of September 30, 2004 there were approximately 441 holders of record of the Company's common stock. There were 1,197,634 shares outstanding with a par value of $.01.

Dividends

    The Company has never paid a cash dividend on its common stock. Payment of dividends is at the discretion of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors plans to retain earnings, if any, for operations and does not intend to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.


Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

    Except as otherwise noted, the securities described in this Item 5 were issued pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. Each such issuance was made pursuant to individual contracts, which are discrete from one another and are made only with persons who were sophisticated in such transactions and who had knowledge of and access to sufficient information about the Company to make an informed investment decision. Among the information provided was the fact that the securities issued were restricted securities. No commissions were paid in connection with the transactions described below unless specifically noted.

    The Sale of the Oil & Gas, LLC resulted in the cancellation of 1,592,836 shares and 159,284 shares being reissued. The 1,592,836 shares were cancelled on October 5, 2004 and the 159,284 shares were issued on October 7, 2004.

    Between July 7, 2004 and December 15, 2004 the company issued convertible debentures in the amount of $150,000.00. All debentures are due within six months of issue and carry a rate of interest of eight percent (8%) per year on the unpaid principal. The holders of the debentures are entitled, at their option, to convert the principal amount of these debentures plus accrued interest into shares of the Company's common stock at a price per share equal to a 50% discount to current market. In the event of bankruptcy all debentures convert to shares of common stock.

    Between October 7, 2004 and December 29, 2004 the company issued 600,000 shares of common stock upon the conversion of $6,000.00 of these convertible debentures. The stock was issued under a regulation E exemption. These debentures were converted at $0.01. If the remaining debentures were issued at the same $0.01 it would result in the issuance of an additional 14,400,000 shares of common stock further diluting stockholders positions.

    As of December 29, 2004 CLX Investment Company, Inc had 1,797,634 shares of common stock outstanding.


ITEM 6. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

    The following information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

Plan of Operation

    On September 13, 2004 the Company's Board of Directors elected to be regulated as a business investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. As a business development company ("BDC"), the Company is required to maintain at least 70% of its assets invested in "eligible portfolio companies", which are loosely defined as any domestic company which is not publicly traded or that has assets less than $4 million.

    As part of the over all acquisition and finance plan, the Board of Directors authorized management to file Form 1-E with the Commission notifying of its intent to sell up to $5 million of the Company's common stock under a Regulation E exemption.
CLX Investment Company, Inc. presently has one portfolio investment, eStrategy Solutions, Inc, which was acquired subsequent to September 30, 2004.
   
    No additional portfolio investments were made this past year. Management anticipates making additional portfolio investments as opportunities present themselves in the coming year.

    The only commitment of material value is a commitment to provide a $250,000 line of credit to eStrategy Solutions, Inc.

    In October of 2004 CLX Investment Company, Inc. signed a management contract with Javelin Advisory Group to provide administrative services. Javelin will provide services such as portfolio management, accounting, public relations, and various other administrative functions as well as office space. This service will provide a talented pool of personnel at very reduced price compared to hiring that same talent on an individual basis.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

    The Company's financial statements present an impairment in terms of liquidity. As of September 30, 2004 the Company had $130,000 in current assets and the Company's total liabilities exceeded total assets by approximately $22,500. During the fiscal year, ending September 30, 2004, The Oil and Gas operation was spun off and is being reported on the financials as discontinued operations. In the year ended September 30, 2003, which is being reported as discontinued operations, the company reported that current assets exceeded current liabilities by approximately $46,000. The Company has accumulated $697,962 of net operating losses through September 30, 2004, which may used to reduce taxes in future years through 2022. The use of these losses to reduce future income taxes will depend on the generation of sufficient taxable income prior to the expiration of the net operating loss carry-forwards. The potential tax benefit of the net operating loss carry-forwards have been offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount. Under continuing operations the Company has not yet established revenues to cover its operating costs. Management believes that the Company will soon be able to generate revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs through the acquisition of operating subsidiaries. In the event the Company is unable to do so, and if suitable financing is unavailable, there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Results of Operations

For the year ended September 30, 2004 the Company had a net loss of $22,500 for its continuing operations.   The discontinued operations  had a net profit of $55,625 for year ended September 30, 2003 and a net loss of $368,855 for year ended September 30, 2002.

Under its continuing operations, focus and effort is being placed on the acquisition of operating companies that meet the criteria as set forth by the investment Committee of the Company.

RISK FACTORS
 

We are subject to various risks that may materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and the other information in this filing before deciding to purchase our common stock. If any of these risks or uncertainties actually occurs, our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially harmed. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

We Will Need to Raise Additional Capital to Finance Operations

Past operations have relied on monies generated from profits as well as external financing to fund our operations. However, We will need to rely entirely on external financing for the next year to raise additional capital to fund our anticipated operating expenses and future expansion. Among other things, external financing will be required to cover our operating costs. We cannot assure you that financing whether from external sources or related parties will be available if needed or on favorable terms. The sale of our common stock to raise capital may cause dilution to our existing shareholders. Our inability to obtain adequate financing will result in the need to curtail business operations. Any of these events would be materially harmful to our business and may result in a lower stock price.

There is Substantial Doubt About Our Ability to Continue as a Going Concern Due to Recurring Losses and Working Capital Shortages, Which Means that We May Not Be Able to Continue Operations Unless We Obtain Additional Funding

The report of our independent accountants on our September 30, 2004 financial statements included an explanatory paragraph indicating that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern due to recurring losses and working capital shortages. Our ability to continue as a going concern will be determined by our ability to obtain additional funding. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Our Common Stock May Be Affected By Limited Trading Volume and May Fluctuate Significantly

Prior to this offering, there has been a limited public market for our common stock and there can be no assurance that an active trading market for our common stock will develop. As a result, this could adversely affect our shareholders' ability to sell our common stock in short time periods, or possibly at all. Our common stock has experienced, and is likely to experience in the future, significant price and volume fluctuations that could adversely affect the market price of our common stock without regard to our operating performance. In addition, we believe that factors such as quarterly fluctuations in our financial results and changes in the overall economy or the condition of the financial markets could cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially. Substantial fluctuations in our stock price could significantly reduce the price of our stock.

Our Common Stock is Traded on the "Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board," Which May Make it More Difficult For Investors to Resell Their Shares Due to Suitability Requirements

Our common stock is currently traded on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) where we expect it to remain for the foreseeable future. Broker-dealers often decline to trade in OTCBB stocks given that the market for such securities is often limited, the stocks are more volatile, and the risk to investors are greater. These factors may reduce the potential market for our common stock by reducing the number of potential investors. This may make it more difficult for investors in our common stock to sell shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them. This could cause our stock price to decline.

We Could Fail to Retain or Attract Key Personnel

Our future success depends, in significant part, on the continued services of Shane Traveller our Chief Executive. We cannot assure you that we would be able to find an appropriate replacement for key personnel. Any loss or interruption of our key personnel's services could adversely affect our ability to develop our business plan. We have no employment agreements or life insurance on Mr. Traveller.

California Law and Our Charter May Inhibit a Takeover of Our Company That Stockholders May Consider Favorable

Provisions of California law, such as its business combination statute, may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our company. As a result, these provisions could limit the price some investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock.
 

7


Our Officers and Directors Have the Ability to Exercise Significant Influence Over Matters Submitted for Stockholder Approval and Their Interests May Differ From Other Stockholders

Our executive officers and directors have the ability to appoint a majority to the Board of Directors. Accordingly, our directors and executive officers, whether acting alone or together, may have significant influence in determining the outcome of any corporate transaction or other matter submitted to our Board for approval, including issuing common and preferred stock, and appointing officers, which could have a material impact on mergers, acquisitions, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and also the power to prevent or cause a change in control. The interests of these board members may differ from the interests of the other stockholders.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR OPERATION AS A
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT COMPANY

We May Change Our Investment Policies Without Further Shareholder Approval

Although we are limited by the Investment Company Act of 1940 with respect to the percentage of our assets that must be invested in qualified investment companies, we are not limited with respect to the minimum standard that any investment company must not meet, nor the industries in which those investment companies must operate. We may make investments without shareholder approval and such investments may deviate significantly from our historic operations. Any change in our investment policy or selection of investments could adversely affect our stock price, liquidity, and the ability of our shareholders to sell their stock.

Our Investments May Not Generate Sufficient Income to Cover Our Operations

We intend to make investments into qualified companies that will provide the greatest overall return on our investment. However, certain of those investments may fail, in which case we will not receive any return on our investment. In addition, our investments may not generate income, either in the immediate future, or at all. As a result, we may have to sell additional stock, or borrow money, to cover our operating expenses. The effect of such actions could cause our stock price to decline or, if we are not successful in raising additional capital, we could cease to continue as a going concern.

ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

See the financial statements annexed to this report.

ITEM 8. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

On November 8, 2004 The Board of Directors of CLX Investment Company, Inc. engaged HJ & Associates, LLC as its independent auditors. The former auditors, Easton and Barsch, have discontinued doing audits for public companies.

ITEM 12. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

   The Company's officers and directors are subject to the doctrine of corporate opportunities only insofar as it applies to business opportunities in which the Company has indicated an interest, either through its proposed business plan or by way of an express statement of interest contained in the Company's minutes. If directors are presented with business opportunities that may conflict with business interests identified by the Company, such opportunities must be promptly disclosed to the Board of Directors and made available to the Company. In the event the Board shall reject an opportunity that was presented to it and only in that event, any of the Company's officers and directors may avail themselves of such an opportunity. Every effort will be made to resolve any conflicts that may arise in favor of the Company. There can be no assurance, however, that these efforts will be successful.

    Subsequent to September 30, 2004 the Company entered in to an agreement with a related party to provide management and administrative services for $12,500 per month.

ITEM 13. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

    Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Based on an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the our management as of a date within 90 days of the filing date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.

    Changes in Internal Controls. There were no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation. There were no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses, and therefore there were no corrective actions taken. However, the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there is no certainty that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goal under all potential future considerations, regardless of how remote.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 

To the Board of Directors
CLX Investment Company, Inc.
(formerly CLX Energy, Inc.)
Temecula, CA


We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of CLX Investment Company, Inc. (formerly CLX Energy, Inc.) (the Company) as of September 30, 2004 and the related statement of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years ended September 30, 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2004 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended September 30, 2004 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 6 to the financial statements, the Company has no significant operating results to date, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 6. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
