FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, principally in the sections entitled “Description of Business,” “Risk Factors,” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation.” All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including statements regarding future events, our future financial performance, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. We have attempted to identify forward-looking statements by terminology including “anticipates,” “believes,” “can,” “continue,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “potential,” “predicts,” “should,” or “will” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Although we do not make forward looking statements unless we believe we have a reasonable basis for doing so, we cannot guarantee their accuracy. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks outlined under “Risk Factors” or elsewhere in this Current Report on Form 8-K, which may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all risk factors, nor can we address the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short term and long term business operations, and financial needs.  These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those reflected in the forward looking statements.  Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in this Current Report on Form 8-K, and in particular, the risks discussed below and under the heading “Risk Factors” and those discussed in other documents we file with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission that are incorporated into this Current Report on Form 8-K by reference.  The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our annual report on Form 10-K and our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q incorporated into this Current Report on Form 8-K by reference, and the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our annual and quarterly reports.  We undertake no obligation to revise or publicly release the results of any revision to these forward-looking statements.  In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this Current Report on Form 8-K may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statement.

You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement, each of which applies only as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K.  Before you invest in our common stock, you should be aware that the occurrence of the events described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Current Report on Form 8-K could negatively affect our business, operating results, financial condition and stock price.  Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K to conform our statements to actual results or changed expectations.

In this Current Report on Form 8-K, references to “we,” “our,” “us,” “Alternative Energy Partners, Inc., “AEGY”, “Registrant” or the “Company” refer to Alternative Energy Partners, Inc., a Florida corporation.

Section 2 – Financial Information

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On November 26, 2010, Registrant completed the acquisition of Xnergy, Inc. (“Xnergy”) from Healthcare of Today, Inc. pursuant to an Acquisition Agreement dated November 5, 2010, a copy of which is attached to this Report as Exhibit 2.  Healthcare of Today, Inc. is the majority shareholder of Registrant. As a result of the acquisition, Xnergy has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Registrant. The acquisition is still subject to Healthcare of Today, Inc. and Xnergy providing each other with several deliverables, all of which are or will be placed into escrow with an anticipated deadline for completion and exchange on or before December 29, 2010.

 
 

 
Under the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, Registrant has agreed to issue 2,000,000 shares of its common stock (post-reverse split) and 5,000,000 shares of Series A voting preferred stock to Healthcare of Today, Inc. for all of the issued and outstanding shares of Xnergy, which Healthcare of Today, Inc. earlier acquired in a conditional closing transaction valued at $15,000,000.  The Series A Preferred Stock of Registrant will be issued as soon as the Articles of Incorporation of Registrant have been amended to authorize the issuance of the preferred shares and, when issued, will be entitled to a vote of 51 percent of the total vote on any matters on which the shareholders are entitled to vote.  There was no cash element of the acquisition, which was an all stock exchange transaction.

A previous press release dated November 9, 2010 announced that the acquisition transaction had already closed as of November 9 and that the two principal officers of Xnergy, Inc., D. Jason Davis and Joey Patalano, had been appointed to the Board of Directors of AEGY and as its senior officers.  The press release should have more accurately stated that the final terms of the acquisition had been agreed upon effective as of November 5, 2010 although subject to both Healthcare of Today, Inc. and Xnergy providing each other with several additional deliverables, all of which are or will be placed into escrow and exchanged upon the escrow agent’s receipt of all of the deliverables and that Mr. Davis and Mr. Patalano would become directors and officers of AEGY as one of those deliverables and as part of that agreement.

Section 3 – Securities and Trading Markets.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

In connection with the acquisition of Xnergy, Inc. from Healthcare of Today, Inc., the Registrant will issue 2,000,000 of its post-split common stock to Healthcare of Today, Inc., as a result of which there are 9,840,637 common shares issued and outstanding, a majority of which are held by Healthcare of Today, Inc.  In addition, Registrant has agreed to issue 5,000,000 shares of Series A voting preferred stock to Healthcare of Today, Inc. which will be issued as soon as the Articles of Incorporation of Registrant have been amended to authorize the issuance of the preferred shares. When issued, the Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to a vote of 51 percent of the total vote on any matters on which the shareholders are entitled to vote. All of the shares issued or to be issued in the acquisition are or will be issued as unregistered, restricted securities as a private placement under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
