Section 1 - Registrant’s Business and Operations

Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement

On January 20, 2009, EAU Technologies, Inc. (“EAU” or the “Company”) terminated certain of its agreements with Perfect Water & Essentials, LLC (“PWE”), as described further below.

As previously disclosed in the Form 8-K filed on August 22, 2007, on August 16, 2007, EAU and PWE entered into that certain Agreement for Purchase and Sale of Assets--Perfect Empowered Drinking Water and Perfect Essentials (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which PWE had the right to purchase certain assets of the Company which were used in the operation of its consumer division, which division was commonly referred to by the Company as the Perfect Essentials Division.  A copy of the form of the Asset Purchase Agreement was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Form 8-K filed on August 22, 2007.  The sale under the Asset Purchase Agreement was closed on November 15, 2007.  At closing, the transactions with PWE provided total cash proceeds of $2.5 million for EAU.  PWE continues to owe principal of $150,000, plus accrued and unpaid interest, to EAU, pursuant to the Promissory Note dated November 15, 2007.

In connection with the purchase of the Perfect Essentials Division, PWE was obligated under the Asset Purchase Agreement to purchase a technology license from the Company to operate the Perfect Essentials Division (the “Technology License Agreement”).  The form of the Technology License Agreement was attached to the Asset Purchase Agreement and was executed by the parties at closing.

At closing, in connection with the Technology License Agreement, the parties also entered into (1) an equipment maintenance and support agreement (the “Maintenance Agreement”) for the benefit of PWE for the equipment purchased under the Asset Purchase Agreement, and future equipment purchased by PWE from the Company, and (2) a trademark license agreement (the “Trademark License Agreement”) to provide for the use of the Empowered WaterTM trademark.  The Technology License Agreement, Maintenance Agreement, and the Trademark License Agreement, all are dated November 15, 2007, and are collectively are referred to as the “Post-Closing Agreements.”

The Technology License Agreement provided for the payment of a minimum annual fee by PWE to EAU.  In December 2008, the Company notified PWE that PWE had failed to make the required payments under the Technology License Agreement.  Pursuant to the terms of the Post-Closing Agreements, on January 20, 2009, the Company notified PWE that EAU was terminating the Post-Closing Agreements.  As a result of the termination, PWE is required to cease all use of the technology and trademark under the Post-Closing Agreements.  In addition, the termination of these agreements results in the termination of EAU’s noncompetition obligations under the Asset Purchase Agreement.  EAU is entitled to continue to pursue the past due amounts under the Technology License Agreement.

As a result of the termination of the License Agreement, EAU may now license the trademark and technology to other potential licensees.  The Company plans to seek new license opportunities, but has not to date indentified any specific candidates.
