Note A. Business

The Company was incorporated in the State of Florida on June 14, 1994. eCom.Com, Inc. ("eCom") is referred to as "the Company",  or "eCom".  On June 1, 2010 the Company moved its main office to 1150 S. US Highway 1, Suite 301, Jupiter, FL 33477-7236, and the telephone number changed to (561) 249-1354.

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2005 eCom focused on separating all ten of its current business segments, USA SportsNet, Inc., USA Performance Products, Inc., eSecureSoft Corp., USAS Digital, Inc., Pro Card Corporation, AAB National Company, A Classified Ad, Inc., Swap and Shop.net Corp., A Super Deal.com, Inc. and MyZipSoft, Inc.

This plan was undertaken for the purposes of allowing the management and employees the opportunity to operate each segment independently. Also, to have the ability for each segment, to raise its own funding for growth and expansion. On June 4, 2004 the Company spun-off each of the above listed companies into separate public companies.

On December 1, 2003, the Board of Directors of eCom approved the spin-off of eCom's ten (10) operating subsidiary companies, pursuant to SEC Staff Legal Bulletin No. 4. On December 18, 2003, USA SportsNet, Inc. entered into an Asset Acquisition Agreement with American Capital Holdings, Inc., ("ACHI") The Date of Record for the first spin-off, USA SportsNet, Inc. (later renamed American Capital Holdings, Inc., Cusip No. 02503V 10 9/SEC CIK No. 0001288010) was January 5, 2004. The Date of Record for the second spin-off, MyZipSoft, Inc. (Standard & Poor's Cusip No. 628703 10 0/SEC CIK No. 0001290785) was February 23, 2004, and the shares of MyZipSoft were distributed to its shareholders on June 2, 2005.

On March 2, 2004, the Board of Directors of eCom approved the spin off of the remaining eight (8) spin off companies in which the Board of Directors voted to issue to their shareholders one (1) share of the company for every one hundred (100) shares of eCom owned with a record date of May 27, 2005, pursuant to the advice of SEC Staff Legal Bulletin No. 4.

On November 29, 2004 an involuntary petition was filed against eCom in the United States Southern District Bankruptcy Court  under Title 11, Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code by petitioning creditors, American Capital Holdings, Inc., Richard Turner, Barney A. Richmond, and ACHI, Inc. The Bankruptcy proceedings were initiated in an effort to implement a viable plan for reimbursement of costs incurred by American Capital Holdings, Inc., the petitioning creditors, and all other creditors/vendors who had not been paid. Most importantly, the proceedings enabled Mr. Richmond to initiate reorganization plans in an effort to restore the shareholder value lost by approximately 5,000 shareholders. A copy of the June 2, 2005 Chapter 11, Title 11 Amended Involuntary Petition of eCom is posted on eCom's website, www.ecec.us.

On March 31, 2008 Joint Plan Proponent American Capital Holdings, Inc. and Debtor, eCom eCom.com, Inc. ("Proponents") received a March 28, 2008 United States Southern District of Florida Bankruptcy Court Order Granting Debtor-In- Possession's Motion For Final Decree Closing Case (C.P. #361) and Final Decree,  issued by the Honorable Paul G. Hyman, Jr. which closed eCom's successful Plan of Reorganization.

As a result of the emergence of eCom eCom.com, Inc. (Prior eCom) from operating under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code on March 28, 2008 (the Effective Date), the Company is the successor registrant to Prior eCom pursuant to Rule 12g-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Note B. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

BASIS OF PRESENTATION, USE OF ESTIMATES

The Company maintains its accounts on the accrual basis of accounting. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue from the sale of products is recognized at the time the products are shipped.

CASH

Cash consists of deposits in banks and other financial institutions having original maturities of less than ninety days.

GOODWILL

The Company recorded goodwill as a result of applying fresh start accounting on the date the Company emerged from Bankruptcy. See Note C. We review the carrying amount of goodwill for impairment on an annual basis. Additionally, we perform an impairment assessment of goodwill whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of goodwill and other intangible assets may not be recoverable. During the year ended May 31, 2011 if was determined that the carrying value of goodwill should be reduced as there were no cash flows to support the valuation.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The accounting for common stock issued for services is based on the grant date fair value equal the trading price of Company's common stock on the date of grant.  Expense is recognized during the period in which the services are provided.  The Company has not issued any stock options and no share issuance are subject to vesting requirements.

INCOME TAXES

Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related to certain income and expenses recognized in different periods for financial and income tax reporting purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred taxes also are recognized for operating losses and tax credits that are available to offset future taxable income and income taxes, respectively. A Valuation allowance is provided if it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

The Company adopted the new accounting for uncertainty in income taxes guidance on June 1, 2009. The adoption of that guidance did not result in the recognition of any unrecognized tax benefits and the Company has no unrecognized tax benefits at May 31, 2011. The Company's U.S. Federal and state income tax returns prior to fiscal year May 31, 2007 are closed and management continually evaluates expiring statutes of limitations, audits, proposed settlements, changes in tax law and new authoritative rulings. The Company recognizes interest and penalties associated with tax matters as part of the income tax provision and includes accrued interest and penalties with the related tax liability in the consolidated balance sheets.

NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic net loss per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period presented. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by using the weighted average number of common shares and potential common shares outstanding during the period. 

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles—a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162 ("FASB SFAS 168"). SFAS 168 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification TM ("Codification") as the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP for nongovernmental entities. The Codification does not change U.S. GAAP. Instead, it takes the thousands of individual pronouncements that currently comprise U.S. GAAP and reorganizes them into approximately 90 accounting Topics, and displays all Topics using a consistent structure. Contents in each Topic are further organized first by Subtopic, then Section and finally Paragraph. The Paragraph level is the only level that contains substantive content. Citing particular content in the Codification involves specifying the unique numeric path to the content through the Topic, Subtopic, Section and Paragraph structure. FASB suggests that all citations begin with "FASB ASC," where ASC stands for Accounting Standards Codification. Changes to the ASC subsequent to June 30, 2009 are referred to as Accounting Standards Updates ("ASU").

In conjunction with the issuance of FASB SFAS 168, the FASB also issued ASU No. 2009-1, Topic 105—Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("FASB ASU 2009-1"), which includes FASB SFAS 168 in its entirety as a transition to the ASC. FASB ASU 2009-1 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009 and had no impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations but changed the referencing system for accounting standards.

Certain of the following pronouncements were issued prior to the issuance of the ASC and adoption of the ASUs. For such pronouncements, citations to the applicable Codification by Topic, Subtopic and Section are provided where applicable in addition to the original standard type and number.

In June 2009, the FASB issued additional guidance under ASC 860 "Accounting for Transfer of financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities" which improves the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial asset; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor's continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. This additional guidance requires that a transferor recognize and initially measure at fair value all assets obtained (including a transferor's beneficial interest) and liabilities incurred as a result of a transfer of financial assets accounted for as a sale. Enhanced disclosures are required to provide financial statement users with greater transparency about transfers of financial assets and a transferor's continuing involvement with transferred financial assets. This additional guidance must be applied as of the beginning of each reporting entity's first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. This additional guidance must be applied to transfers occurring on or after the effective date. The adoption of this ASC 860 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements and disclosures.

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2010-06, "improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements," which clarifies certain existing requirements in ASC 820 "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures," and required disclosures related to significant transfers between each level and additional information about Level 3 activity. FASB ASU 2010-06 begins phasing in the first fiscal period beginning after December 15, 2009. The Company is currently assessing the impact on its consolidated results of operations and financial conditions.

In February 2010, the FASB issued FASB ASU 2010-09, "Subsequent Events, Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements," which clarifies certain existing evaluation and disclosure requirements in ASC 855 "Subsequent Events" related to subsequent events. FASB ASU 2010-09 requires SEC filers to evaluate subsequent events through the date in which the financial statements are issued and is effective immediately. The new guidance does not have an effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

Note C. Involuntary Reorganization under Chapter 11

The Plan of Reorganization became effective and the Company emerged from Chapter 11 reorganization proceedings on March 28, 2008 (the "Reorganization Effective Date").  On the Reorganization Effective Date, the Company implemented fresh-start reporting in accordance with American Institute of Certified Public Accounts Statement of Position 90-7: Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code ("SOP 90-7").

All conditions required for the adoption of fresh-start reporting were met upon emergence from the reorganization Proceedings on the Reorganization Effective Date.  As a result, the fair value of the Prior eCom assets became the new basis for the Company's statement of financial position as of the Fresh-Start Adoption Date, and all operations beginning on or after March 28, 2008 are related to the Successor Company.

As a result of the application of fresh-start reporting in accordance, the financial statements prior to and including March 28, 2008 represent the operations of the Prior eCom and are not comparable with the financial statements for periods on or after March 28, 2008. References to "New eCom" refer to the Company on or after March 28, 2008, after giving effect to the application of fresh-start reporting. References to the "Prior eCom" refer to the Company prior to and including March 28, 2008.

Note D. Goodwill

Note D. Goodwill

In accordance with SOP 90-7, any portion of the reorganization value that cannot be attributed to specific tangible or identifiable assets of the emerging entity should be reported as goodwill in accordance with paragraph 6 of FASB Statement No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.  The Company recorded goodwill of $19,322 as a result of applying fresh-stat accounting on March 28, 2008.   Goodwill was determined as follows:

Note E. Income Taxes

The Company does not believe that the realization of the related net deferred tax asset meets the criteria required by generally accepted accounting principles and, accordingly, the deferred income tax asset arising from such loss carry forward has been fully reserved.

Deferred income taxes (benefits) are provided for certain income and expenses which are recognized in different periods for tax and financial reporting purposes. The Company had cumulative net operating loss carry-forwards for income tax purposes at November 30, 2011 of approximately $7,400,000, expiring through May 31, 2030. The Company has established a 100% valuation allowance against this deferred tax asset, as the Company has no history of profitable operations.

Note F. Related Party Transactions

The Company has received cash advances from Richard Turner, CFO of the Company, in varying amounts and at various times subsequent to September 1, 2001. These related party loans were non-collateralized and due on demand. The interest portion of these notes has stopped accruing interest after the company was adjudicated bankrupt. The balance owed Mr. Turner of $140,233 was discharged by the bankruptcy court for the issuance of 5,393,579 shares of common stock at the agreed upon price of $.026 per share. The balance owed to Mr. Turner as of November 30, 2011 is $5,592.  The balance owed to Barney A. Richmond as of November 30, 2011 is $1,739.

The Company is allocated certain expenses such as rent, travel and administrative that are paid on behalf of the Company by American Capital Holdings, Inc., a company that is related to the Company by mutual stockholders and Directors. The total expenses allocated to the Company in the six months ended November 30, 2011 and 2010 is $11,600 and $0, respectively.

Note G. Going Concern

Note G. Going Concern

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had a net  loss for the six months ended November 30, 2011 of $9,100. The total accumulated deficit as of November 30, 2011 was $150,072. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company's ability to further implement its business plan and raise capital. The financial statements do not included any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
