BLACKSTAR ENTERPRISE GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2017

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

BlackStar Enterprise Group, Inc. (the Company” or “BlackStar”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on December 18, 2007 as NPI08, Inc. (“NPI08”). In January 2010, NPI08 acquired an ownership interest in Black Star Energy Group, Inc., a Colorado Corporation. BlackStar Energy then merged into NPI08, with NPI08 being the surviving entity. Concurrently, NPI08 changed its name to BlackStar Energy Group, Inc. On January 25, 2016, International Hedge Group, Inc. signed an agreement to acquire a 95% interest in the Company. The name was changed to BlackStar Enterprise Group, Inc. in August of 2016.

The Company is a Delaware corporation organized for the purpose of engaging in any lawful business. The Company intends to act as a merchant bank as at the date of these financial statements. It currently trades on the Pink Sheets under the symbol “BEGI”.

The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31^st. The Company’s financial statements are presented on the accrual basis of accounting.

Basis of presentation – Unaudited Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles for financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. They do not include all information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there has been no material change in the information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with those financial statements included in the Form 10-K. In the opinion of Management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, have been made. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

The Company's financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company has generated no revenues and has incurred losses. . These conditions raise substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the ability to raise equity or debt financing, and the attainment of profitable operations from the Company's planned business. Management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all cash on hand, cash accounts not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as cash equivalents.

Revenue recognition

The Company has realized minimal revenues from operations. The Company recognizes revenues when the sale and/or distribution of products is complete, risk of loss and title to the products have transferred to the customer, there is persuasive evidence of an agreement, acceptance has been approved by the customer, the fee is fixed or determinable based on the completion of stated terms and conditions, and collection of any related receivable is probable. Net sales will be comprised of gross revenues less expected returns, trade discounts, and customer allowances that will include costs associated with off-invoice markdowns and other price reductions, as well as trade promotions and coupons. The incentive costs will be recognized at the later of the date on which the Company recognized the related revenue or the date on which the Company offers the incentive.

Basic and Diluted Loss per Share

The Company computes loss per share in accordance with “ASC-260,” “Earnings per Share” which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the statement of operations. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common share during the period. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share excludes all potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to ASC 740. Under ASC 740 deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases.

The Company maintains a valuation allowance with respect to deferred tax asset. Blackstar Enterprise Group establishes a valuation allowance based upon the potential likelihood of realizing the deferred tax asset and taking into consideration the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the current period. Future realization of the deferred tax benefit depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income within the carry-forward period under Federal tax laws.

Changes in circumstances, such as the Company generating taxable income, could cause a change in judgment about the reliability of the related deferred tax asset. Any change in the valuation allowance will be included in income in the year of the change estimate.

Carrying Value, Recoverability and Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company has adopted paragraph 360-10-35-17 of FASB Accounting Standards Codification for its long-lived assets. The Company’s long –lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

The company assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related long-lived asset or group of assets over their remaining estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amounts. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets. Fair value is generally determined using the assets expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable. If long-lived assets are determined to be recoverable, but the newly determined remaining estimated useful lives are shorter than originally estimated, the net book values of the long-lived assets are depreciated over the newly determined remaining estimated useful lives.

The Company considers the following to be some examples of important indicators that may trigger an impairment review; (i) significant under-performance or losses of assets relative to expected historical or projected future operating results; (ii) significant changes in the manner or use of assets or in the Company's overall

-8-

strategy with respect to the manner of use of the acquired assets or changes in the Company's overall business strategy; (iii) significant negative industry or economic trends; (iv) increased competitive pressures; (v) a significant decline in the Company's stock price for a sustained period of time; and (vi) regulatory changes. The Company evaluates acquired assets for potential impairment indicators at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence of such events.

The impairment charges, if any, are included in operating expenses in the accompanying statements of operations.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect 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. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

The Company’s significant estimates include income taxes provision and valuation allowance of deferred tax assets; the fair value of financial instruments; the carrying value and recoverability of long-lived assets, and the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern. Those significant accounting estimates or assumptions bear the risk of change due to the fact that there are uncertainties attached to those estimates or assumptions, and certain estimates or assumptions are difficult to measure or value.

Management regularly reviews its estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such reviews, and if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair value of Financial Instruments

The estimated fair values of financial instruments were determined by management using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. The carrying amounts of financial instruments including cash approximate their fair value because of their short maturities.

Long Lived Assets

In accordance with ASC 350 the Company regularly reviews the carrying value of intangible and other long lived assets for the existence of facts or circumstances both internally and externally that suggest impairment. If impairment testing indicates a lack of recoverability, an impairment loss is recognized by the Company if the carrying amount of a long lived asset exceeds its fair value.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to employees based on FASB accounting standard for Share Based Payment. It requires an entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award – the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). It requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. That cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. The scope of the FASB accounting standard includes a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. The Company currently has no stock based compensation plan in place.

Recent pronouncements

Management has evaluated accounting standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective as of March 31, 2017, and does not expect such pronouncements to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, operations, or cash flows.

NOTE 4 – PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

During the quarter ended September 30, 2016, the Company purchased certain office equipment for a total of $1,659. This equipment is being depreciated over a three-year life and the Company has recorded a depreciation expense of $116 for the current quarter.

NOTE 5 – NOTE RECEIVABLE

During the month of October 2016, the Company identified a target company in which management felt it would be beneficial to invest. The target company was looking for an aggregate investment of $2,500,000, of which the Company agreed to provide $500,000 and provide assistance in raising the remaining $2,000,000.

The terms of this investment are the note shall bear an interest rate of 12% and the lender (Company) shall receive 2 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred stock for each one dollar ($1.00) loaned to the target company.

The payment shall consist of 15% of the gross revenues ratably apportioned among the then existing note holders. Said payments to be applied first to accrued interest and then to the outstanding principal. Notwithstanding the aforementioned payment schedule the entire note becomes due and payable on February 1, 2019. Commencing not later than February 1, 2019, the target company shall pay a 15% dividend to the holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred stock until such time as each holder of the Series B Convertible Preferred stock has received an amount equivalent to their original loan. At such time the Series B Convertible Preferred stock shall be converted into common stock of the target company at the rate of one share of common stock for each share of Convertible stock.

During the month of January 2017, the Company advanced the second tranche of these funds.

As of the date of these financial statements, the target company has not begun to generate the revenues required to make the necessary payments to the lenders.

As of March 31, 2017, the Company has no unrecognized income tax benefits. Based on management’s understanding of IRC Sec 383 the substantial change in ownership and change in business activities precludes any carryforward of the accumulated net operating losses. The Company’s policy for classifying interest and penalties associated with unrecognized income tax benefits is to include such items as tax expense. No interest or penalties have been recorded during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, and no interest or penalties have been accrued as of March 31, 2017. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014 the Company did not have any amounts recorded pertaining to uncertain tax positions.

As at March 31, 2017 the current management of the Company has been unable to ascertain when the last corporation income tax returns were filed. Management will use its best efforts to bring current all the necessary filings. The Company is currently not under examination by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authorities. The Company has not recorded any liability for an uncertain tax position related to the lack of return filings since the Company records show a continuing pattern of losses for the periods in question. Since penalties are commonly assessed based on tax amounts owed management has deemed in unnecessary to record any liability.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Forward-Looking Statements and Associated Risks.

This form 10-Q contains certain statements that are forward-looking within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. For this purpose any statements contained in this Form 10-Q that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, words such as “may”, “will”, “expect”, “believe”, “anticipate”, “estimate, or “continue” or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially depending on a variety of factors, many of which are not within our control. These factors include but are not limited to economic conditions generally and in the industries in which we may participate; competition within our chosen industry, including competition from much larger competitors; technological advances and failure to successfully develop business relationships.

Based on our financial history since inception, our auditor has expressed substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, as of March 31, 2017, we had an accumulated deficit totaling $2,995,512. This raises substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Plan of Operation

We intend to expend funds over the next four quarters as follows:

3^rd Quarter 2017	· Loans	· $250,000
	· Operations	· $50,000

4^th Quarter 2017	· Loans	· $250,000
	· Operations	· $50,000

1^st Quarter 2018	· Loans	· $250,000
	· Operations	· $50,000

2^nd Quarter 2018	· Loans	· $250,000
	· Operations	· $50,000

Our Budget for operations in the next year is as follows:


Working Capital – Loans		$1,000,000
Legal, Audit and Accounting		$100,000
Fees, rent, travel and general & administrative expenses		$100,000
		$1,200,000

The Company may change any or all of the budget categories in the execution of its business model. None of the line items are to be considered fixed or unchangeable. The Company may need substantial additional capital to support its budget. We have not recognized revenues from our operational activities.

-14-

Based on our current cash reserves of approximately $3,201 as of March 31, 2017, we have the cash for an operational budget of less than one month. We intend to offer a private placement of stock or Notes to investors in order to achieve $1,200,000 in funding in the next six months. We intend to commence this offering in late Spring of 2017. If we are unable to generate enough revenue to cover our operational costs, we will need to seek additional sources of funds. Currently, we have no committed source for any funds as of date hereof. No representation is made that any funds will be available when needed. In the event funds cannot be raised if and when needed, we may not be able to carry out our business plan and could fail in business as a result of these uncertainties.

The independent registered public accounting firm’s report on our financial statements as of December 31, 2016, includes a “going concern” explanatory paragraph that describes substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

While our cash reserves were only $3,201, our parent company, IHG, has agreed to fund on an interim basis any shortfall in our cash reserves. We would use our funds to pay legal, accounting, office rent and general and administrative expense. We have estimated $50,000 per quarter in 2017 in operations costs which includes legal, accounting, travel, general and administrative, audit, rent, telephones and miscellaneous.

We received the funding to loan the monies to one borrower company, Meshworks Media Corporation, from our parent, IHG, in the form of two loans to BlackStar for a total of $500,000. The notes are three year notes payable at 6% interest per year.

Results of Operations

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2017

We had no revenues during the year ended December 31, 2016. Due to startup and administrative expenses, stock issuances, warrant expenses of $1,328,000 and consulting fees, we incurred a loss of ($1,064,678) for the period.

We had income (gain) on settlement of debt for the year ended December 31, 2016 of $270,822, which resulted in a net loss for the period of ($1,154,285) or ($0.06) per share.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, we had no revenue, no cost of revenues, and no gross profit. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we recognized a net loss of $1,697 compared to a net loss of $4,361 during the three months ended March 31, 2016. The net loss improving slightly was mainly a result of $18,000 in interest income, which was then decreased by higher operating expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2017. Our operating expenses included $115 in depreciation, $16,580 in legal and professional fees, and $3,002 in general and administrative fees, for a total of $19,697 for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Our auditor has expressed substantial doubt as to whether we will be able to continue to operate as a “going concern” due to the fact that the Company has an accumulated deficit of $(2,995,512) as of March 31, 2017, compared to an accumulated deficit of $(2,993,815) at December 31, 2016, and has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining the adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2017

At March 31, 2017, we have total current assets of $21,201 consisting of $3,201 in cash, and accrued interest receivable of $18,000. Current liabilities at March 31, 2017 were $409,673 and consisted of accounts payable of $7,173 and loan payable to a related party of $402,500. At March 31, 2017, we had working capital of $(388,472).

We do not currently have any consulting agreements.

We do not currently have any outstanding debts, including promissory notes or other bank debt. The Company recorded an expense of $1,328,000 on the operating statement for the quarter ended March 31, 2017. The Company also used 800,000 of these warrants to satisfy an account payable to a service provider. The value of the debt discharged in this transaction was $20,253. This transaction was with an unrelated party giving the Company a net loss of $11,747 on the debt relief.

-15-

On July 11, 2011 the Company received $200,000 in the form of cash in exchange for a promissory note bearing interest at the rate of 6% per annum. The note does not specify that the interest is compounding therefore the Company is accruing the expense at a simple interest rate of 6%. The Company has not received any notice of default and has continued to accrue interest on its books at the rate of 6% each year. During the month of August 2016 the Company issued 700,000 shares of its common stock in exchange for this indebtedness along with all accrued interest.

As at March 31, 2017, our cash balance was $3,201 as compared to $Nil at March 31, 2016. We intend to attempt to raise capital through several sources: a) partner venture funds, b) private placements of our stock, c) loans from our parent IHG. We do not anticipate generating sufficient amounts of revenues to meet our working capital requirements. Consequently, we intend to make appropriate plans to ensure sources of additional capital in the future to fund growth and expansion through additional equity or debt financing or credit facilities.

Our total assets at March 31, 2017 were $522,514 compared to $265,604 as of December 31, 2016.

We do not have terms or committed sources of capital of any type at this time. If we are able to raise additional capital, we intend to make additional loans and would intend to use the funds repaid from the loans to a) retire debt, and b) fund additional loans to companies, and c) to provide operational funds.

We have been, and intend to continue, working toward identifying and obtaining new sources of financing. No assurances can be given that we will be successful in obtaining additional financing in the future. Any future financing that we may obtain may cause significant dilution to existing stockholders. Any debt financing or other financing of securities senior to common stock that we are able to obtain will likely include financial and other covenants that will restrict our flexibility. Any failure to comply with these covenants would have a negative impact on our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate portions of our operations or obtain funds through arrangements with strategic partners or others that may require us to relinquish rights to certain of our assets. Accordingly, the inability to obtain such financing could result in a significant loss of ownership and/or control of our assets and could also adversely affect our ability to fund our continued operations and our expansion efforts.

We do not anticipate that we will purchase any significant equipment over the next twelve months.

We do not anticipate any significant changes in the number of employee unless we significantly increase the size of our operations. We believe that we do not require the services of additional independent contractors to operate at our current level of activity. However, if our level of operations increases beyond the level that our current staff can provide, we may need to supplement our staff in this manner.

Financing Activities

During the quarter ended March 31, 2017 the Company received $0 from subscription agreements or private placement offerings. The Company also received shareholder contributions in the amount of $0 in the three months ended March 31, 2017.

On January 25, 2016 the Company received and agreed to a purchase of its common stock from International Hedge Group, Inc. (IHG) to purchase a 95% controlling interest in the Company. At the closing IHG was to provide the Company with a promissory note in the amount of $200,000 payable over a 180 day period in increments as the buyer is able to achieve funding. As at the date of the annual report on Form 10-K the Company had received $200,000 in cash.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company received $Nil in private placement subscriptions for the Company’s common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2016 the Company received $200,000 in private placement subscriptions for the Company’s common stock and issued 44,400,000 shares of common stock and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock. During the year ended December 31, 2016 the Company issued 1,312,549 to consultants for services rendered and in exchange for debt, with the shares valued at $52,504.

-16-

During the three months ended March 31, 2017 the Company received no shareholder subscriptions. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company received $216,580 in shareholder contributions to be used in the Company’s regular activities. As of December 31, 2016, the Company has used these proceeds on the Company’s operations and purchases.

Investing Activities

Due to an increase in notes receivable, net cash used in investing activities was $(250,000). Net cash provided by financing activities was $252,500 for the three months ended March 31, 2017, and was solely due to an increase in notes payable to a related party.

The Company used $251,659 in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2016, with $1,659 going to fixed assets and $250,000 being used on Notes Receivable.

Operating Activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we used $13,474 in cash for our net operating activities, compared to $Nil used in operating activities for the same period in 2016. The increased operating expenses are due to the Company’s ongoing startup of operations.

During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company used cash in the amount of $1,296,670 in operating activities, compared to $Nil over the previous year.

Going Concern

We have only a very limited amount of cash and have incurred operating losses and limited cash flows from operations since inception. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had accumulated deficit of $2,995,512 and $2,993,815 respectively and we will require additional working capital to fund operations through 2017 and beyond. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements included in this Form 10-Q do not include any adjustments related to recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should we be unable to continue as a going concern. The audited financial statements included in the Company’s recent annual report on Form 10-K have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that might result if we cease to continue as a going concern.

Based on our financial history since inception, in their report on the financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2016, our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. There is no assurance that any revenue will be realized in the future.

There can be no assurance that we will have adequate capital resources to fund planned operations or that any additional funds will be available to us when needed or at all, or, if available, will be available on favorable terms or in amounts required by us. If we are unable to obtain adequate capital resources to fund operations, we may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of our operations, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and ability to operate as a going concern.

Short Term

On a short-term basis, we have not generated revenues sufficient to cover our growth oriented operations plan. Based on prior history, we may continue to incur losses until such a time that our revenues are sufficient to cover our operating expenses and growth oriented operations plan. As a result we may need additional capital in the form of equity or loans, none of which is committed as of this filing.

Capital Resources

We have only common stock as our capital resource, and our assets, cash and receivables.

We have no material commitments for capital expenditures within the next year, however, as operations are expanded substantial capital will be needed to pay for expansion and working capital.

-17-

Need for Additional Financing

We do not have capital sufficient to meet our growth plans. We have made equity and debt offerings in order to support our growth plans, to date, and may do so in the future.

No commitments to provide additional funds have been made by our management or other stockholders. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that any additional funds will be available to us to allow coverage of our expenses as they may be incurred.
