When used in this report, the terms "Green Energy Group", "GEG", "we," "our," "us," and "the Company" refer to Green Energy Group, Inc. (f/k/a eCom eCom.com, Inc.) except where the context otherwise requires or as otherwise indicated.
ITEM 1. | BUSINESS |
The Company was incorporated in the State of Florida on June 14, 1994. On February 25, 2011 the company acquired the name Green Energy Group, Inc., on February 28, 2011 the company changed its name to Green Energy Group, Inc. On May 1, 2008 the Company moved its main office to 1150 S. US Highway 1, Suite 302, Jupiter, FL 33477-7236, and the telephone number changed to (561) 249-1354. Green Energy Group, Inc. "GEG" is referred to as "the Company", or "eCom" for events occurring before May 2011.
During the fiscal year ending 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 purpose 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 Securities and Exchange Commission ("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 (1) share of eCom owned with a record date to be announced, pursuant to the advice of SEC Staff Legal Bulletin No. 4.
On November 29, 2004 an involuntary petition was filed against eCom eCom.com, Inc. in the United States Southern District Bankruptcy Court (In Re: Case No. 04-34535 BKC-SHF) 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.
A detailed history is available on the Company's 10KSB filing of May 31, 2006, SEC accession number 0001000459-06-000005.
On August 18, 2006 the 'Joint Plan of Reorganization of Debtor and American Capital Holdings, Inc.' was filed with the United States Southern District Bankruptcy Court.

On March 31, 2008 Joint Plan Proponent American Capital Holdings, Inc. and Debtor, eCom eCom.com, Inc.

History of the Spin-Off Company:
On December 1, 2003, the Board of Directors of eCom approved the spin-off of the Company's subsidiaries. On June 4, 2004, the Board of Directors of eCom adopted a resolution to spin off the Company and authorized whatever action necessary to complete this process including acquisitions and mergers. In this regard, the Board included instructions for the distribution of stock by its Transfer Agent, Florida Atlantic Stock Transfer ("FAST"), to the shareholders when the share certificates were properly exercised and costs relating to the issuance of these shares were paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, eCom was not able to pay FAST the amounts required to send out the stock certificates to the shareholders, and therefore, the shares were not issued. Due to eCom's financial condition, eCom was unable to effectuate the spinoffs. In connection with the spinoffs, eCom owned all outstanding and issued shares of common stock of the Company. By spinning off the Company, eCom distributed the common stock of the Company to eCom's shareholders in proportion to the shares held in eCom as the relevant record date.
On November 29, 2004, an involuntary petition was filed against eCom under Chapter 11 Title 11, of the United States Bankruptcy Code by petitioning creditors, American Capital Holdings, Inc., Barney A. Richmond and Richard C. Turner. An order for relief was entered by the United States Bankruptcy Court on May 16, 2005. In order to protect the assets of eCom and pursuant to S1106 and S1107 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, on June 2, 2005, interim Chief Executive Officer Richard C. Turner, issued the shares of the Spin-Off Companies which were distributed to eCom shareholders of record, as of May 27, 2005. The Spin-Off Companies were: (i) USA Performance Products, Inc., (ii) eSecureSoft Company, (iii) USAS Digital, Inc., (iv) Pro Card Corporation, (v) AAB National Company, (vi) A Classified Ad, Inc., (vii) Swap and Shop.net Corp., (viii) A Super Deal.com, Inc., and (ix) My ZipSoft, Inc.
Subsequent thereto, eCom caused a registration statement on Form 10-SB to be filed for the Company. On June 6, 2005 an Order was entered by the Honorable Judge Stephen H Friedman, appointing Barney A. Richmond, Chairman of American Capital Holdings, Inc., as Chief Executive Officer of eCom and Richard C. Turner as Chief Financial Officer or eCom and all of the above described subsidiary companies.

On July 18, 2005, the Company received a letter from the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") asking it to provide legal analysis for the "spin-off" share issuance. A copy of this letter is enclosed herein as Exhibit No. 99.1.
In an effort to give the SEC an answer regarding their request for detailed clarification as to the legal analysis of the spin-off companies and to comply with the SEC's request to withdraw each of the above referenced spin-off companies' Form 10SBG12, on August 15, 2005 each spin-off company withdrew their respective July 8, 2005 Form 10SBG12 filings.

On January 3, 2007, Joint Proponent, American Capital Holdings, Inc. and the Debtor, eCom eCom.com, Inc. filed the First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization ("The Plan"). A copy of this Plan can be viewed at ecec.us under the title "Bankruptcy News" by clicking the "read more" link on the January 3, 2007 entry described as First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization. A copy of the Plan of Reorganization is appended herein as Exhibit No 99.7.
"Article 1: Definitions" in the Joint Plan states that:
"Subsidiaries" shall mean (i) USA Performance Products, Inc., (ii) eSecureSoft Company, (iii) USAS Digital, Inc., (iv) Pro Card Corporation, (v) AAB National Company, (vi) A Classified Ad, Inc., (vii) Swap and Shop.net Corp., (viii) A Super Deal.com, Inc., and (ix) My ZipSoft, Inc., unless otherwise referred to individually in the Plan.
Article "8.11 - Restructuring Transactions" in the Joint Plan states:
On and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtor or the Subsidiaries may enter into such transactions and may take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effect a corporate restructuring of its respective businesses, subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth in the Bylaws of, or otherwise applicable to, the Reorganized Debtor or the Subsidiaries. Such restructuring may include one or more mergers, consolidations, restructures, dispositions, liquidations, or dissolutions, as may be determined by the Reorganized Debtor or the Subsidiaries to be necessary or appropriate (collectively, the "Restructuring Transactions"). The actions to effect the Restructuring Transactions may include: (i) the execution and delivery of appropriate agreements or other documents of merger, consolidation, restructuring, disposition, liquidation, or dissolution containing terms that are consistent with the terms of the Plan and that satisfy the applicable requirements of applicable state law and such other terms to which the applicable entities may agree; (ii) the execution and delivery of appropriate instruments of transfer, assignment, assumption, or delegation of any asset, property, right, liability, duty, or obligation on terms consistent with the terms of the Plan and having such other terms to which the applicable entities may agree; (iii) the filing of appropriate certificates or articles of merger, consolidation, or dissolution pursuant to applicable state law; and (iv) all other actions that the applicable entities determine to be necessary or appropriate, including making filings or recordings that may be required by applicable state law in connection with such transactions. The Restructuring Transactions may include one or more mergers, consolidations, restructures, dispositions, liquidations, or dissolutions, as may be determined by the Reorganized Debtor or the Subsidiaries to be necessary or appropriate to result

in substantially all of the respective assets, properties, rights, liabilities, duties, and obligations of the Reorganized Debtor or the Subsidiaries vesting in one or more surviving, resulting or acquiring corporations. In each case in which the surviving, resulting, or acquiring corporation in any such transaction is a successor to the Reorganized Debtor, such surviving, resulting, or acquiring corporation will perform the obligations of the Reorganized Debtor pursuant to the Plan to pay or otherwise satisfy the Allowed Claims against the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable and to the extent necessary.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is possible that the Reorganized Debtor may qualify as a "blank check company." The SEC has taken the position that promoters or affiliates of blank check companies, as well as their transferees, are underwriters of the securities issued. In accordance with the SEC's position, any securities held by shareholders, including those issued under the Plan, prior to a business combination, such as a merger, may be resold only through a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 144 may not be a safe harbor for resale of those securities regardless of technical compliance with Rule 144. While the foregoing does not affect the issuance of shares of common stock under the Plan, i.e., the shares will be issued free from registration requirements in accordance with section 1145 of the Code, the resale or exchange of such securities may be affected following confirmation of the Plan, such as in connection with any resale of such securities or any proposed Restructuring Transaction.
A Confirmation hearing was held on March 12, 2007. In attendance of the hearing was Ms. Denyese Heffner, representing the United States Department of Justice U.S. Trustee's Office, Mr. Gordon Robinson, Esq. representing the United States Securities & Exchange Commission ("SEC"), Mr. Michael D. Seese, representing eCom eCom.com, Inc. and Mr. Mark W. Fisher, Esq. representing American Capital Holdings, Inc. The result of this hearing was court approval and confirmation for eCom and the subsidiaries Plan of Reorganization. A copy of the court transcript is attached as Exhibit No. 99.8. The Order Confirming the First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization of Debtor and Joint Plan Proponent American Capital Holdings, Inc., as Modified, was signed by the Honorable Judge Steven H. Friedman on March 23, 2007 and is attached as Exhibit 99.9. This Confirmation Order may also be viewed at the eCom website www.ecec.us under the bankruptcy link.
During the period from March 23, 2007 until March, 2008, there was several additional status conferences approving professional fees and other U.S Trustee required items necessary to close out the case. During this period, Judge Stephen H. Friedman was not reappointed to the United States Federal Bankruptcy bench and the pending outstanding matters regarding this case was re-assigned to the Honorable Paul G. Hyman, Jr.
The Company got behind with its required SEC filings due to the fact the Company's auditors, Wieseneck & Andres, P.A., had advised management their CPA practice was merging with another firm, which delayed the Company. Wieseneck & Andres, P.A. was and has been the auditor for all of the above described subsidiary companies as well as eCom eCom.com, Inc. and American Capital Holdings, Inc. ("ACH") for many years. Also, management was advised in late December, 2007 by Mr. Thomas B. Andres, CPA that he and his firm had accounting issues with Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("PCAOB") regarding an American Capital Holdings, Inc. ("ACH") audit dating back to 2004. Mr. Andres advised us of his situation on or about December 16, 2007. Prior to that date, management did not know about any communications from the PCAOB. Appended herein as Exhibit No. 99.10 is a copy of PCAOB Release No. 104-2005-117, which was issued on October 27, 2005. Management was totally caught off guard as this issue was not disclosed to us for over two (2+) plus years either by Mr. Andres or by the PCAOB.

To further add to management's confusion regarding a 2004 audit, there were no comments by the SEC examiners regarding ACH's Form 10SB12G dated May 24, 2004 submitted to the SEC. This May 24, 2004 filing was ruled effective by law on July 24, 2004. This Form 10SB12G included a nine (9) month ACH audit by Wieseneck & Andres, P.A. for the period ending February 29, 2004. Additionally, pursuant to the request of SEC Examiners, on January 11, 2005, ACH filed an Amended Form 10SB12G with the SEC. This Amended Form 10SB12 included a Wieseneck & Andres, P.A. audit dated November 10, 2004, which was for the period ending May 31, 2004. There were no comments from the SEC examiners regarding this audit as well.
Enclosed herewith as Exhibit No. 99.11, is a copy of a January 2, 2008 U.S. Postal Certified Mail No. 7002241000543376468 five (5) page detailed correspondence, from ACH addressed to Mr. Mark W. Olsen, Chairman and Ms. Angela Desmond, Chief of Staff of the PCAOB. This letter had eleven (11) accompanying composite exhibits in support of management's response to the above described PCAOB Release.
On February 15, 2008, Claudius Modesti, the PCAOB's Director of Enforcement and Investigations sent a reply letter to Mr. Barney A. Richmond's letters dated December 17, 2007, January 1, 2008 and January 2, 2008. Ms. Modesti's letter, which is enclosed herein as Exhibit No. 99.12 stated exactly the following:
Dear Mr. Richmond:
"Your recent letters to Chairman Mark W. Olsen and Angela Desmond (dated December 17, 2007, January 1, 2008 and January 2, 2008) concerning American Capital Holdings, Inc. ("ACH") and Wieseneck, Andres & Company, P.A. ("Wieseneck") have been forwarded to my attention: I write to respond to one aspect of your letters. I understand that Gordon Seymour, the PCAOB's General Counsel, will separately respond to another aspect of your letters."
"You refer to potential PCAOB disciplinary action against Wieseneck, and, in connection with that point, you say that you would like to meet with PCAOB staff to discuss aspects of ACH's accounting. PCAOB disciplinary investigations are nonpublic by law and the staff does not disclose, confirm, or deny the existence of particular investigations unless and until they result in a public disciplinary order. In investigating potential auditor misconduct, the staff evaluates evidence gathered from various sources including, where appropriate evidence obtained from an auditor's clients. "In the event that your letters are relevant to issues that we are addressing in any investigation, we will take them into account, and we will follow up to the extent we believe appropriate. While we appreciate your offer to meet and to provide additional documents, we do not at this time see a need for either of those things. If this changes we will contact you."
Sincerely,
Claudius Modesti / Director

On February 15, 2008, Mr. Jay Gordon Seymour, General Counsel for the PCAOB, sent a reply letter to Mr. Barney A. Richmond's December 17, 2007, January 1, 2008 and January 2, 2008 letters. Mr. Seymour's correspondence, which is affixed herein as Exhibit No. 99.13. advised the following:
Dear Mr. Richmond:
"Your recent letters to Chairman Mark W. Olsen and Angela Desmond (dated December 17, 2007, January 1, 2008 and January 2, 2008) concerning American Capital Holdings, Inc. ("ACH") and Wieseneck, Andres & Company, P.A. ("Wieseneck") have been forwarded to my attention: I write to respond to one aspect of your letters. I understand Claudius Modesti, the PCAOB's Director of Enforcement and Investigations, will separately respond to another aspect of your letters."
"You refer to PCAOB Release No. 104-2005-117 ("the Release"), which is the publicly available portion of a PCAOB inspection report on Wieseneck. You suggest that the Release is critical of ACH's accounting in two respects, and you request consideration of your position before the PCAOB takes a position in the matter. Please note that (1) the Release indicates that PCAOB inspectors review audits of two of Wieseneck's ten issuer audit clients, neither which the Release identifies; (2) the Release is not critical of any audit clients' accounting, but instead describes failures by Wieseneck, in two respects, to perform audit procedures necessary for Wieseneck to have a sufficient basis for an audit opinion; and (3) the Release does not assert that both of those auditing failures were present in each of the audits reviewed. In addition, the PCAOB issued the Wieseneck inspection report in October of 2005, and there is no ongoing process with respect to its content."
"Should you have any questions concerning PCAOB processes, please feel free to call me at (202) 207-9034."
Sincerely,
J. Gordon Seymour / General Counsel
After receiving these PCAOB letters dated February 15, 2008, management interpreted the contents at face value, especially Mr. Seymour's declaration which advised:
"Please note that (1) the Release indicates that PCAOB inspectors review audits of two of Wieseneck's ten issuer audit clients, neither which the Release identifies; (2) the Release is not critical of any audit clients' accounting, but instead describes failures by Wieseneck, in two respects, to perform audit procedures necessary for Wieseneck to have a sufficient basis for an audit opinion; and (3) the Release does not assert that both of those auditing failures were present in each of the audits reviewed. In addition, the PCAOB issued the Wieseneck inspection report in October of 2005, and there is no ongoing process with respect to its content."
With respect to the last sentence of the above preceding paragraph, this did not prove to be accurate, which is further described in the below chronological sequence of events.

On March 28, 2008 An Order For Final Decree of the eCom bankruptcy case (including the above describe subsidiaries) was entered by the Honorable Judge Paul G. Heyman, Jr. A copy of this Order For Final Decree is affixed herein as Exhibit No 99.14. eCom and all of the spin-off companies began the preparation of the forthcoming Form May 31, 2008 10KSB filings, which were due on August 31, 2008. During this period, management was periodically being advised by Mr. Thomas B. Andres, CPA of Wieseneck & Andres, P.A. that he and his partners were in the process of merging with another firm who he, Mr. Andres, advised was a PCAOB registered accounting firm, which was supposed to be located in Jupiter, Florida.
Notwithstanding, due to matters management was not privy to at the time, things with the proposed merger with a Jupiter based PCAOB registered firm was never consummated. On or about May 29, 2009, management was advised by Mr. Andres that Wieseneck & Andres, P.A. was merging with a New York based accounting firm named Fuoco Group, LLC ("Fuoco") and Fuoco would be the firm taking over all of the companies' audits, including the spin-off companies. During the next several weeks, management focused on preparation of the forthcoming May 31, 2008 10K filings, which required the then forthcoming audits by a PCAOB registered accounting firm. However, in early September, 2009, after reviewing the PCAOB website to check the status of the Fuoco accounting firm, management discovered Fuoco was not a PCAOB registered auditing firm. Management also discovered that Mr. Thomas B. Andres, CPA and his firm, Wieseneck & Andres, P.A. ("the firm") were, individually as well as his accounting firm, were disbarred by the PCAOB on April 22, 2008 via PCAOB Release No.105-2008-001. The result of this PCAOB April 22, 2008 Release No. 105-2008-001 was Mr. Thomas B. Andres and the firm (Wieseneck & Andres, P.A.) could not be affiliated with any PCAOB firm for a period of two (2) years. A copy of the PCAOB Release No. 105-2008-001 is attached herein as Exhibit No. 99.15. Based on the contents contained in the two (2) above described PCAOB letters both dated February 15, 2008 from PCAOB Director Claudius Modesti and PCAOB General Counsel, J. Gordon Seymour, Management was totally blindsided by this discovery. Neither anyone from the PCAOB nor anyone from Wieseneck & Andres, P.A. gave the American Capital Holdings, Inc., eCom or the spin-off companies any type of notice whatsoever about the new 105-2008-001 PCAOB Release, which were the same allegations made in the PCAOB 104-2005-117 Release.
During the remainder of the entire month of September 2009, management did considerable legal, tax and accounting background research issues regarding the unsupported background facts of the findings stated in the PCAOB Release No 105- 2008-001. Management believes Thomas B. Andres, CPA as well as Wieseneck & Andres, P.A. and the PCAOB entered into this consent order without examining the actual real facts with respect to all applicable Federal IRS Statutes. Additionally, management was unilaterally denied the opportunity to meet with the PCAOB to discuss the issues brought up in PCAOB Release No. 104-2005-117 and was led to believe there was "no ongoing process with respect to its content", as advised in J. Gordon Seymour's February 15, 2008 correspondence. The PCAOB was established via the Sarbanes-Oxley Act as a division within the SEC.

ITEM 1. | BUSINESS - CONTINUED |
Management believes the intent of Sarbanes-Oxley Act was to provide greater corporate transparency disclosures as well as to provide better public company internal controls, both of which are what the PCAOB is supposed to administer. Management also believes this does not seem to be the case regarding to what appears to be jointly agreed to consent order by Wieseneck & Andres, P.A./Public Company Accounting Oversight Board PCAOB Release No. 105-2008-001 entered into. Again, the contents of PCAOB Release No. 104-2005-117 and PCAOB Release No. 105-2008-001 are basically the same. Management was totally blindsided by this event as we were led to believe the above referenced February 15, 2008 PCAOB letters as described above. Being Wieseneck & Andres, P.A. was the PCAOB approved accounting for all the subsidiary companies referenced above as well the accounting firm was court approved by the United States Bankruptcy Court, the PCAOB disbarment almost put all of the companies out of business as all of the accounting firms management had approached advised they would have to audit all of these companies from inception, which the companies could not afford without a capital infusion. Without clean audits, it is almost impossible to raise equity capital, which caused all the companies to get behind in their financial reporting.
On October 5, 2009, ACH's and the spin-off companies' management sent Thomas B. Andres, CPA, Wieseneck & Andres, P.A. a thirty two (32) page letter via U.S. Postal Certified Mail No. 70071490000054486599, which was accompanied with thirty one (31) exhibits illustrating the proper facts supporting all of the companies' legal positions. A copy of this letter and its thirty one (31) supporting exhibits are attached herein as Composite Exhibit No. 99.16.
On October 14, 2009 Richard Turner had a conversation with Mr. Thomas B. Andres about setting up a meeting, which Mr. Andres initially agreed to. Mr. Turner sent an October 14, 2009 confirmation letter as well, which copy is affixed herein as Exhibit No. 99.17. On October 19, 2009, Mr. Andres wrote a reply letter advising Mr. Turner, based on advice of his legal counsel, that Mr. Andres could not have further conversations with Mr. Turner or the companies "until such a time we (he and his firm) are appropriately advised by our council". Mr. Andres further stated "You will be appropriately informed when that happens". To this date, Mr. Andres has refused to meet with management.
On November 4, 2009, Management sent Mr. Andres another five (5) page letter via United States Postal Certified Mail No. 70072410000543376482 (RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED), accompanied by ten (10) supporting exhibits. This letter pointed out many problems/damages caused by Mr. Andres' firm as well as requested the name of Wieseneck & Andres, P.A. errors and omissions insurance carrier. So far, in what management believes is sign of bad faith, Wieseneck & Andres, P.A. and Fuoco Group, LLC has refused to provide the companies this information. The companies are planning to file suit against Wieseneck & Andres, P.A., Fuoco Group, LLC as well as a claim against their respective insurance carrier(s).
On August 5, 2010 the company entered into a audit engagement with a PCAOB registered accounting firm known as D. Brooks and Associates CPA's, P.A.
On November 9, 2011 the audit committee authorized the engagement of Alan R. Swift, CPA, P.A. ("Swift") as the Company's registered independent accountants.
On December 12, 2011 the Company dismissed Swift as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm. On December 12, 2011, the audit committee of the Company's Board of Directors authorized the appointment of the firm Pybus & Company, P.A. ("Pybus") to serve as the Registrant's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal years ending May 31, 2011 and 2012.
The Company's main office is located at 1150 S. US Highway 1, Suite 302, Jupiter, Florida 33477, and the telephone number is (561) 249-1354.

EMPLOYEES: The Company does not have any employees.
ITEM 1A. | RISK FACTORS |
RISK FACTORS. The Company's business is subject to numerous risk factors, including the following:
NO OPERATING REVENUES. The Company has had no recent revenues or earnings from operations. The Company will sustain operating expenses without corresponding revenues. This will result in the Company incurring net operating losses until it can realize profits from the business ventures it intends to acquire.
SPECULATIVE NATURE OF THE COMPANY'S PROPOSED OPERATIONS. The success of the Company's proposed plan of operation will depend primarily on the success of the Company's business operations. While the Company intends to try to run these operations profitably there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful or profitable.
SUCCESS OF OPERATIONS WILL DEPEND ON THE AVAILABILITY OF CAPITAL. Realization of the business' perceived potential will require significant capital. If the Company is not able to raise the funds to provide this capital, or to otherwise locate the required capital for the business, the company may never attain profitability.
LIMITED TIME COMMITMENT OF MANAGEMENT. While developing the Company's business plan, seeking business opportunities, and providing managerial resources, management will not be devoting its full time and efforts to the Company and will depend on other operational personnel. The Company's directors and officers have not entered into written employment agreements with the Company and they are not expected to do so in the foreseeable future. The Company has not obtained key man life insurance on its officers and directors. Notwithstanding the limited time commitment of management, loss of the services of these individuals would adversely affect development of the Company's business and its likelihood of continuing operations.
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST - GENERAL. Certain conflicts of interest may exist from time to time between the Company and its officers and directors. They have other business interests to which they devote their attention, and they will continue to do so. As a result, conflicts of interest may arise that can be resolved only through exercise of such judgment as is consistent with the fiduciary duties of management to the Company.

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Green Energy Group, Inc. (f/k/a eCom eCom.com, Inc.)
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Green Energy Group, Inc. (f/k/a eCom eCom.com, Inc.) as of May 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related statements of operations, and cash flows for the years ended May 31, 2012 and 2011 and its statement of changes in stockholders' deficit for the period June 1, 2009 through May 31, 2012. Green Energy Group, Inc.'s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required 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 company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits 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 Green Energy Group, Inc. as of May 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years ended May 31, 2012 and 2011 and its statement of changes in stockholders' deficit for the period June 1, 2009 through May 31, 2012 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 G the Company has incurred significant losses. The Company's viability is dependent upon its ability to obtain future financing and the success of its future operations. These factors raise substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note A. Description of Business
The Company was incorporated in the State of Florida on June 14, 1994. On February 25, 2011 the company acquired the name Green Energy Group, Inc., on February 28, 2011 the company changed its name to Green Energy Group, Inc. On June 1, 2011 the Company moved its main office to 1150 S. US Highway 1, Suite 302, Jupiter, FL 33477-7236, and the telephone number changed to (561) 249-1354. Green Energy Group, Inc. "GEG" is referred to as "the Company", or "eCom" for events occurring before May 2011.
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.
F-7
Note B. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (continued)
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectability is assured. The company had no revenue for the years ended May 31, 2012 and 2011.
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, 2012. 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 forAccounting Standards Codification. Changes to the ASC subsequent to June 30, 2009 are referred to as Accounting Standards Updates ("ASU").
F-8
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS - (CONTINUED)
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 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 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 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.
F-9
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:
Identifiable Assets of New eCom on March 28, 2008 |

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.

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 May 31, 2012 of approximately $7,400,000, expiring through May 31, 2029. 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 May 31, 2012 is $6,276. The balance owed to Mr. Richmond, CEO of the Company as of May 31, 2012 is $2,074.
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. and United States Financial Group, Inc., companies that are related to the Company by mutual stockholders and Directors. The total expenses allocated to the Company is $16,000 for the year ended May 31, 2012 and $18,600 for the year ended May 31, 2011.
Note G. Going Concern
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had a net loss for the year ended May 31, 2012 of $16,820. The total accumulated deficit as of May 31, 2012 was $157,792. 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.
Note H. Subsequent Events
On June 29, 2012 the Securities and Exchange Commission filed an Order Instituting Administrative Proceedings and Notice of Hearing Pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Administrative Proceeding File No 3-14932 listed the Company as being delinquent in its periodic filings. A hearing was held on August 7, 2012. The Company was told to file a brief in order to reach a settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission over their enforcement action.
