This preliminary Prospectus (the “Prospectus”) relates to the registration of fifty million (50,000,000) shares of common stock in Eco Innovation Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (referred to herein as the “Company,” “ECOX,” “we,” “our,” “us,” or other similar pronouns). The Company is registering twenty-five million (25,000,000) shares of common stock at $0.06 per share in a direct public offering (“Primary Direct Offering”). In addition, the Company is registering twenty-five million (25,000,000) shares of common stock currently held by our “Selling Stockholders,” or individually, “Selling Stockholder.” The Selling Stockholders will sell the shares of common stock at the fixed price of $0.06 per share until such time, if ever, that the common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, the OTCQX, OCTQB or listed on a securities exchange. See “Plan of Distribution” beginning on page 28 of this Prospectus for more information.

The Company will be registering all common stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) in connection with this Offering. Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses attributable to the sale of common stock covered by this Prospectus will be borne by the Selling Stockholders. We will pay all expenses (other than discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses) relating to the registration of the common stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Our shares of common stock subject to the Primary Direct Offering and Selling Stockholders are referred to herein collectively as our “Shares.” We estimate our total offering registration costs to register the Shares to be approximately $327.30 and our legal, auditor and related fees will be approximately $5,500.00 equaling a total expense to the Company of $5,827.30 relating to the registration.

 

There is no minimum number of Shares that must be sold by us for the offering to proceed. The Company will retain any proceeds from the Direct Offering, while the Selling Stockholders will retain the proceeds from their common share sales.

 

Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Markets Pink under the symbol “ECOX”. On November 20, 2020, the closing price for our common stock as reported was $0.066 per share. This price will fluctuate based on the demand for our common stock. Prior to this offering, there has been a limited market for our securities. While our common stock is quoted on the OTC Markets Pink, there has been limited trading volume. There is no guarantee that a sustained and active trading market for our common stock will develop. We are not a “blank check company,” and we have no plans or intentions to engage in a business combination following this offering.

 

INVESTING IN OUR SECURITIES INVOLVES RISKS. YOU SHOULD REVIEW CAREFULLY THE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES DESCRIBED UNDER THE HEADING “RISK FACTORS” CONTAINED ON PAGE 14. YOU SHOULD READ THE ENTIRE PROSPECTUS CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU MAKE YOUR INVESTMENT DECISION.

OUR COMPANY

 

Business Strategy

 

Eco Innovation Group, Inc. is a socially responsible and sustainability-focused technology incubator devoted to the commercialization of select intellectual property that, given the right business platform, has the potential to achieve high-value commercial success. Our value creation strategy is a strategic approach to environmental sustainability: we seek innovative socially responsible products and technologies with the potential to create globally important paradigm shifts in energy efficiency and environmental sustainability. Consistent with our strategy, we seek to license, develop and market environmentally sustainable and socially responsible technologies that have compelling market potential.

 

Market Opportunity

We believe our strategic approach to environmental sustainability and socially responsible technology development offers an attractive value proposition. Environmental sustainability and social responsibility are at the core of a rapidly growing target market recognized for its growth prospects, driven by consumer preference, competitive imperative, regulatory impacts, investor mandates and capital markets. Consumers, both individual and institutional, are core to the change.

 6 
 

According to a report published by Deloitte in February 2020, environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investing is rapidly growing in major global economies and capital markets. As reported by Deloitte, ESG-mandated assets in the United States could grow almost three times as fast as non-ESG-mandated assets to comprise half of all professionally managed investments by 2025, and an estimated 200 new funds in the United States with an ESG investment mandate are expected to launch over the next three years, more than doubling the activity from the previous three years. Also, the Governance and Accountability Institute suggested that 86% of S&P 500 companies published sustainability reports in 2018 – up from 20% in 2011. Studies conducted by NYU Stern and Bank of America reported that consumers are also increasingly looking to align themselves with sustainable companies that serve a greater social purpose.

In our approach to the Company’s market opportunity, we not only look for great people with great technology, as part of our nine-step “Evaluation to Market” discipline, we also look to choose scalable technology opportunities and to maximize profit margins.

 

Business Model

 

As a technology incubator, Eco Innovation Group works to bring new technologies to consumers by providing the services needed to manufacture and distribute products incorporating the technology. We provide technology developers with strong commercialization support from concept and product development to marketing and promotion, as described in greater detail below. With a focus on socially responsible and sustainable technologies, we seek out innovative inventors developing technologies with socially responsible benefits in the areas of energy efficiency, carbon emissions reduction, environmentally sustainable housing, green foods, and clean water. We focus specifically on developing sustainable and socially responsible technologies for the U.S. and international markets.

 

Our services are provided through a nine-step “Evaluation to Market” process, used to identify and develop scalable technology opportunities that will have market potential with the application of strong commercialization support. The Evaluation to Market process consists of the application of our capital and management expertise through our provision of the following services:

1. Idea Generation: identifying goods and services that fit our corporate socially responsible and sustainable objectives.
2. Idea Screening: working directly with Inventors, Developers and Entrepreneurs to identify products and services for commercialization.
3. Concept Development and Testing: working directly with Inventors, Developers and Entrepreneurs to build prototypes and proof of concept for commercialization. 
4. Market Strategy Development: there are lots of great ideas, but not all pass the market strategy development.  The market analysis helps us determine if a product has market potential and also meets our corporate objectives.
5. Business Analysis: During this process we identify markets, competition, cost analysis, manufacturing options, logistics and distribution channels.
6. Technology Licensing: using our attorneys to protect IP with patents and trademarks as well as licensing agreements.
7. Product Development: engineering design, manufacturing prior to market introduction.
8. Test Marketing/Promotion: using market analytics to test market and solidify our market projections.
9. Commercialization: introducing products to market and realizing revenue.

 

The Company currently has three product technologies in steps six and seven of the above process: the JouleBox® Power Station, the PowerBoosterTM electric generation technology, and the MagnoSpringTM spring magnetic motor. As part of the application of our capital and management expertise through this nine-step Evaluation to Market process, the Company works closely with our inventors and innovators to develop and test the product concepts and applications, to build application-ready prototypes, to develop the technology marketing strategies, and work with the independent distributors as well as the contract manufacturers to get final products to consumers. While the Company does not create or originate the technologies behind the products, we provide these valuable services to enable the inventors of the technologies to take their innovations from concept to market. The Company has identified and is working directly with several contract manufacturers to allow us to scale manufacturing capacity to meet expected product demand.

 

By employing a business plan purposefully designed to use leased employees, independent contractors and contract manufacturers to scale production and meet the demands of taking our products to market, the Company believes it will be able to accomplish its goals of delivering products at the lowest cost and greatest efficiency utilizing its limited infrastructure.

Our Technology Agreements

Eco-Gen Energy: On August 25, 2020, the Company signed a Master Outsourcing Contract Manufacturing Agreement with Eco-Gen Energy, Inc. (“Eco-Gen”), pursuant to which the Company will manage the production and delivery of Eco-Gen’s JouleBox® Power Station. The Master Outsourcing Contract Manufacturing Agreement with Eco-Gen is a related party transaction insofar as our CEO and controlling Stockholder, Julia Otey-Raudes, is a director and shareholder of Eco-Gen, and in that the Company’s offices are provided to the Company by Eco-Gen in a space located within Eco-Gen’s corporate offices.

 

Under the Eco-Gen agreement, the Company has contracted to provide material purchase and management services, supply base management services, final product and component production services, delivery services, inventory management services, and related financial services for the production and delivery of Eco-Gen’s JouleBox® Power Station. Eco-Gen is required to advance payment to the Company prior to the Company’s performance of these services.

 

To perform our obligations under the Eco-Gen agreement, the Company will engage contract manufacturers and other independent contractors to perform the services and charge the cost of goods and services through to Eco-Gen with a 15% margin. As the services will be outsourced by the Company using third parties, including (but not limited to) intellectual property legal counsel to register trademarks and patents, engineering and manufacturing firms to design and produce the Company’s products, and marketing and advertising firms, the Company plans to manufacture and source products under the Eco-Gen agreement with limited personnel resources.

 

The agreement between the Company and Eco-Gen requires that Eco-Gen pay all Company services in advance and does not require the Company to extend credit to Eco-Gen. As our services will be pre-paid by Eco-Gen, none of the proceeds of this Offering will be necessary to allow the Company to perform under the contract with Eco-Gen. Accordingly, the Company believes that we incur a neglegible financial risk associated with the Eco-Gen agreement. Eco-Gen has a ten-year operating history and approximately 200 shareholders, and does substantial business with major clients. Due to our knowledge of Eco-Gen’s business and their ability to perform their financial obligations under our manufacturing agreement, we believe that Eco-Gen will be able to perform those obligations.

 

In connection with our agreement with Eco-Gen, the Company has received two signed purchase orders from Eco-Gen, for $13,749,875 and $6,050,000 respectively, representing an aggregate current commitment of $19,799,875. These purchase orders from Eco-Gen are for our provision of services to Eco-Gen under our Master Outsourcing Contract Manufacturing Agreement with Eco-Gen, and correspond to purchase orders received by Eco-Gen for the JouleBox® Power Station, which we will have manufactured under our agreement with Eco-Gen. Additionally, the Company and Eco-Gen are negotiating a third purchase order, still unsigned as of the date of this amended Prospectus, for an additional $6,000,000. In the third quarter of 2020, Eco-Gen paid the Company $100,000 for services under the two executed purchase orders, which are service fees earned and non-refundable under the Eco-Gen agreement.

 

Eco-Gen’s JouleBox® Power Station is a 60kW hybrid generator capable of producing 525,600 kWh of electricity annually. JouleBox® Power Station units can be installed in arrays with complementary solar panels and lithium ion battery packs configured to meet any size commercial application to provide businesses with clean, renewable energy. More information on Eco-Gen and the JouleBox® Power Station is available at Eco-Gen’s website, http://eco-genenergy.com/.

Power Booster™: On June 16, 2020, the Company signed a Master Exclusive Licensing, Marketing, Distribution and Sales Agreement with the Bellagio IP Trust for the ECOX Power Booster™ technology, giving the Company the exclusive right to market Power Booster™ products. The Power Booster™ technology utilizes proprietary technologies incorporating electrical magnetism and high-speed switching technology to boost energy output from residential and commercial power systems. The Power Booster™ is based on advanced electronics that allow an electrical system within a home or business to be supplied with 880 watts of electricity and output useful electrical power of 2,200 watts while increasing the Power Factor (PF) and Total Harmonic Distortion (THD). 

 

The Company licensed the Power Booster™ technology based on the Company’s belief that the technology has the potential to achieve high-value commercial success. Based on tests performed by the Company and the patent holder, the Power Booster™ technology can achieve up to a 60% saving in energy consumption, depending on multiple factors, including intended usage, quality of existing power source and overall system configuration, over standard generator technology. Actual energy savings will vary depending on overall application and other factors. The Company plans to engage third parties to market products using the Power Booster™ technology in the United States, however, the current 2020 Covid 19-impacted business climate has impeded significant progress by the Company on this initiative since the signing date of the Master Exclusive Licensing, Marketing, Distribution and Sales Agreement with Bellagio IP Trust. Bringing the Power Booster™ technology to market will require significant financial inputs on the Company’s part.

 

MagnoSpringTM: On October 26, 2020, the Company signed an Exclusive License Agreement with Fortin & Associates LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Fortin”), giving the Company the exclusive worldwide right to make, use, sell, lease, import, export, or otherwise dispose of products utilizing Fortin’s magnetic spring mechanical motor technology, including the right to have products using the energy efficient technology made by third party manufacturers. The MagnoSpringTM technology comprises a mechanical motor that produces the rotation of its shaft using a system of magnets and springs. Pursuant to the MagnoSpringTM technology licensing agreement with Fortin, after the completion of an operable prototype that provides proof of concept for the technology, Fortin shall, at the Company’s expense, procure patents for the MagnoSpringTM technology. Under the agreement, the Company is responsible for all costs for preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of patents for the MagnoSpringTM technology, and shall have final authority over all decisions concerning filing prosecution of patent applications and patents, including the selection of patent attorneys.

 

As compensation to Fortin for entering into the Exclusive License Agreement for the MagnoSpringTM technology with the Company, we agreed to pay Fortin (or its principals) a restricted stock grant of 6,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock subject to a vesting schedule to be determined in the relevant stock grant agreement. Additionally, the Company will pay a royalty of 10% of the net cost of goods for products using the MagnoSpringTM technology that are manufactured and sold. The MagnoSpringTM technology licensing agreement is a continuing worldwide licensing agreement that according to its terms shall remain in effect during the complete lifetime of all patents for the MagnoSpringTM technology.

 

We are in the process of negotiating other technology licensing arrangements with other technology innovators, both entities and individuals. As of the time of this filing, these other potential elements of the Company’s business model remain under negotiation and in developmental stages. Please see Description of Business of this Prospectus, Page 30, for additional details of the Company’s planned business and of the status of these arrangements as of the date of filing of this Prospectus.

Corporate Information

The Company’s shares are quoted on the OTC Markets Pink Sheet tier, under the symbol ECOX. Our executive offices are located at 16525 Sherman Way, Suite C-1, Van Nuys, CA 91406, and our telephone number is (747) 224-2453.

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). As such, we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. If some investors find our securities less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our securities and the prices of our securities may be more volatile.

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We intend to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the completion of this offering, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our ordinary shares that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30, and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period. References herein to “emerging growth company” will have the meaning associated with it in the JOBS Act.

Additionally, we are a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements, and, if their revenues are less than $100 million, not providing an independent registered public accounting firm attestation on internal control over financial reporting. We will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of the fiscal year in which (1) the market value of our ordinary shares held by non-affiliates exceeds $250 million as of the end of the second fiscal quarter of that year or (2) our annual revenues exceeded $100 million during such completed fiscal year and the market value of our ordinary shares held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the end of the second fiscal quarter of that year.

Corporate History

The Company was originally incorporated on March 5, 2001, as Dig-It Underground, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and was engaged in the business of underground cable contracting.  On September 29, 2008, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with Haydin Group Enterprises (“Haydin”), a sole proprietorship, and concurrently resolved to wind down its cable installation business.  Via a share exchange agreement, the Company acquired an interest in Haydin’s salon equipment, office equipment, lease assignments for salon locations, reception office equipment, salon stations, and remodeled salon facilities.  

 10 
 

On September 1, 2011, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with Get Down Art, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company.  On August 30, 2012, the Company acquired Haydin as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company through a share exchange agreement.  On January 5, 2016, the Company acquired Expressions Property Limited, LP, a Texas limited partnership and Expressions Chiropractic and Rehab Center, PA in a share exchange agreement. These acquisitions allowed the Company to enter into the natural healing and chiropractic business in Cedar Hill and North Richland Hills, Texas. Effective June 30, 2018, the Company resolved and agreed to spin out Haydin Group Enterprises, Expressions Property Limited, LP and Expressions Chiropractic and Rehab Center, PA as private entities and thereby unwinding the share exchange agreements entered into on August 30, 2012 and January 5, 2016, respectively. From 2018 until early 2020, the Company was operated as an innovation incubator platform with an initial focus on affordable fire, hurricane, and earthquake resilient steel framing systems.

On February 28, 2020, our CEO, Julia Otey-Raudes, took over management and control of the Company and began implementing the Company’s new business model, changing the Company’s operations to its current business plan as of the date of her control acquisition.  Upon the change of control, Ms. Otey-Raudes transferred all assets and intellectual property related to the Company’s previous business and discontinued operations out of the Company to the former CEO, John English. Since that time, with the new business model established by Ms. Otey-Raudes, the Company has organized its environmentally sustainable technology and energy efficiency-oriented incubator business model by pursuing licensing agreements with the owners of promising socially responsible technologies.

SUMMARY FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The following tables summarize our financial data for the periods presented and should be read together with the sections of this Prospectus entitled “Risk Factors,” “Selected Financial Data” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” as well as our financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus. We derived the summary financial information for the periods ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 from our audited financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus. The audited historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results we expect in the future. 

 

The Company’s financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2020 appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus are not audited. The unaudited historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results we expect in the future.

 

The Company sustained continued operating losses during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.  The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations, in which it has not been successful, and/or obtaining additional financing from its stockholders or other sources, as may be required. 

 

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern; however, the above condition raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to do so. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

RISK FACTORS

  

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below, as well as the other information in this Prospectus, including our financial statements and the related notes and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” before deciding whether to invest in our shares of common stock. The occurrence of any of the events or developments described below could harm our business, financial condition, operating results, and growth prospects. In such an event, the market price of our shares of common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business operations.

 

There could be unidentified risks involved with an investment in our securities.

 

The foregoing risk factors are not a complete list or explanation of the risks involved with an investment in the securities. Additional risks will likely be experienced that are not presently foreseen by the Company. Prospective investors must not construe the information provided herein as constituting investment, legal, tax or other professional advice. Before making any decision to invest in our securities, you should read this entire Prospectus and consult with your own investment, legal, tax and other professional advisors. An investment in our securities is suitable only for investors who can assume the financial risks of an investment in the Company for an indefinite period of time and who can afford to lose their entire investment. The Company makes no representations or warranties of any kind with respect to the likelihood of the success or the business of the Company, the value of our securities, any financial returns that may be generated or any tax benefits or consequences that may result from an investment in the Company. 

 

General risk relating to COVID-19 pandemic

 

The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic may have an unexpected effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic, and governmental authorities around the world have implemented measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19. These measures have adversely affected workforces, customers, supply chains, consumer sentiment, economies, and financial markets, and, along with decreased consumer spending, have led to an economic downturn across many global economies.

 

The COVID-19 pandemic has rapidly escalated in the United States, creating significant uncertainty and economic disruption, and leading to record levels of unemployment nationally. Numerous state and local jurisdictions have imposed, and others in the future may impose, shelter-in-place orders, quarantines, shut-downs of non-essential businesses, and similar government orders and restrictions on their residents to control the spread of COVID-19. Such orders or restrictions have resulted in temporary facility closures, work stoppages, slowdowns and travel restrictions, among other effects, thereby adversely impacting our operations. In addition, we expect to be impacted by a downturn in the United States economy, which could have an adverse impact on discretionary consumer spending and may have a significant impact on our business operations and/or our ability to generate revenues and profits.

 

In response to the COVID-19 disruptions, we have implemented a number of measures designed to protect the health and safety of our staff and contractors. These measures include restrictions on non-essential business travel, the institution of work-from-home policies wherever feasible and the implementation of strategies for workplace safety at our facilities that remain open. We are following the guidance from public health officials and government agencies, including implementation of enhanced cleaning measures, social distancing guidelines and wearing of masks.

  

The extent to which COVID-19 ultimately impacts our business, financial condition and results of operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and unpredictable, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity and duration of the COVID-19 outbreak and the effectiveness of actions taken to contain the COVID-19 outbreak or treat its impact, among others. Additionally, while the extent to which COVID-19 ultimately impacts our operations will depend on a number of factors, many of which will be outside of our control. The COVID-19 outbreak is evolving and new information emerges daily; accordingly, the ultimate consequences of the COVID-19 outbreak cannot be predicted with certainty.

 

 14 
 

In addition to the COVID-19 disruptions possibility adversely impacting our business and financial results, they may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in these Risk Factors, including risks relating to changes due to our limited operating history; our ability to generate sufficient revenue, to generate positive cash flow; our relationships with third parties, and many other factors. We will endeavor to minimize these impacts, but there can be no assurance relative to the potential impacts that may be incurred.

 

Generally, while we believe the coronavirus may have a negative impact on our future financial results, the impact is difficult to assess at this time. Our newly implemented business plan has not yet generated revenue as of the date of this filing, and future results are speculative. As an early-stage company with a limited operating history, the effects of the coronavirus on our business plan are impossible to predict. Although we believe that responsive actions related to COVID-19 may adversely affect our future business, financial condition, liquidity, and cash flow, we are unable to predict the extent of any such impact as circumstances rapidly evolve.

 

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

 

Our limited operating history makes evaluating our business and future prospects difficult and may increase the risk of your investment.

You must consider the risks and difficulties we face as an early-stage company with a limited operating history. If we do not successfully address these risks, our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition will be materially and adversely harmed. We are in the beginning stages of introducing new technologies to the marketplace and we have a very limited operating history on which investors can base an evaluation of our business, operating results, and prospects.  It is difficult to predict our future revenues and appropriately budget for our expenses, and we have limited insight into trends that may emerge and affect our business.

We anticipate we will experience losses for the foreseeable future

We have reported losses and we expect these losses to continue as we seek to introduce our new technologies to the marketplace. 

Our independent auditors' report for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 have expressed doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Due to the uncertainty of our ability to meet our current operating and capital expenses, in our audited annual financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 our independent auditors included a note to our financial statements regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred recurring losses, has generated limited revenue and has had negative operating cash flows since inception. These factors and the need for additional financing in order for the Company to meet its business plan, raise substantial doubt about the ability to continue as a going concern. The presence of the going concern note to our financial statements may have an adverse impact on the relationships we are developing and plan to develop with third parties as we continue the commercialization of our products and could make it challenging and difficult for us to raise additional financing, all of which could have a material adverse impact on our business and prospects and result in a significant or complete loss of your investment.

We may experience significant delays in the design, manufacture, launch, and financing of our products, which may increase the risk of your investment.

Any delay in the design, manufacture, marketing or sales of our products could materially damage our brand, business, prospects, financial condition and operating results, and thus the value of your investment. 

We face significant barriers in our attempt to introduce our products to the marketplace, and if we cannot successfully overcome those barriers our business will be negatively impacted.

The market for our products has traditionally been controlled by a limited number of large corporations.  These large corporations could hold significant power relative to the installation of new technologies on the electric power grid or relative to the installation of new technologies connected to the power grid.  These corporations could seek to block our access to power grid connections, resulting in difficulties for our company to gain installations and revenues and profits. Our heat exchanger technologies are also new and as a result there could be market entry delays due to numerous competitive factors.

 We face significant market competition.

Our market sector is extremely competitive.  Our competitors include numerous larger, diversified companies that have more financial, marketing and other resources, distribution networks and greater name recognition than us. Our ability to be successful will depend on many factors, some of which may be outside of our direct control.

 15 
 

We are often dependent on our suppliers, a significant number of which are single or limited source suppliers, and the inability of these suppliers to continue to deliver, or their refusal to deliver, necessary components of our system and/or the system of our customers at prices and volumes acceptable to us would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects and operating results.

Our supply chain exposes us to multiple potential sources of delivery failure or component shortages.  For example, earthquakes, floods or other natural disasters could negatively impact our supply chain. We are currently evaluating, qualifying and selecting our suppliers for future production and we intend to establish in the future dual suppliers for several key components of our products, although we expect that a number of components will be single-sourced. We have in the past experienced source disruptions in our supply chains, which have caused delays in our production process and we may experience additional delays in the future with respect to our current products and other products we produce in the future.

Changes in business conditions, wars, governmental changes and other factors beyond our control or which we do not presently anticipate, could also affect our suppliers’ ability to deliver components to us on a timely basis. Furthermore, if we experience significant increased demand, or need to replace our existing suppliers, there can be no assurance that additional supplies of component parts will be available when required on terms that are favorable to us, at all, or that any supplier would allocate sufficient supplies to us in order to meet our requirements or fill our orders in a timely manner.  The loss of any single or limited source supplier or the disruption in the supply of components from these suppliers could lead to delays in vehicle deliveries to our customers, which could hurt our relationships with our customers and also materially adversely affect our business, prospects and operating results.

Increases in costs, disruption of supply or shortage of major components of our systems supplied by our vendors or to raw materials, could harm our business.

We may experience increases in the cost or a sustained interruption in the supply or shortage of components, raw materials and/or finished goods from our suppliers. Any such an increase or supply interruption could materially negatively impact our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

Product sales lead times may be significant and could negatively affect our business

Decision timeframes and sales cycles within our industry are often long with significant analysis being required before purchasing decisions are completed.  These long decisions and sales cycles may negatively affect our ability to generate revenues.

We are subject to substantial regulation and industry-standard guidelines related to the manufacturing of our products and relative safety requirements for our products

The industry in which we operate is highly regulated and there are considerable regulations regarding the manufacturing, labeling, marketing, and safety of our products.  While we take great care to comply with regulatory compliance, our inability could affect our ability to manufacture and market our products, thus affecting our ability to generate profits for the Company.

We are dependent on licensing agreements for several of our products.

While we believe our contracts, agreements and relationships with the entities from which we license various technologies are sound. There can be no assurance these license agreements will continue as envisioned. While we take great care to maintain good relationships with technology licensors, disagreements or attempts to cancel our contractual rights could negatively affect our business and our ability to generate revenues and/or profits.

 16 
 

Our future growth may be dependent upon consumers’ willingness to adopt new technologies relative to energy conservation, alternative electric generation, electrical storage technologies and alternatives to traditional heating and cooling technologies. 

Our growth is highly dependent upon the adoption by consumers, governments, electric utility companies and private enterprises of alternative technologies.  If the market for our alternative technologies does not develop as we expect or develops more slowly than we expect, our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results will be harmed. The market for our products is relatively new, rapidly evolving, characterized by rapidly changing technologies, price competition, additional competitors, evolving government regulation and industry standards, alternative energy generation and storage announcements and changing consumer demands and behaviors. There can be no assurance our new technologies will be accepted.

Other factors that may influence the adoption of our technologies include:

  · public perception of alternative forms of electricity generation, storage, and alternative heating and cooling technologies, especially relating to the adoption of these new technologies.  While it is thought that the public’s perception of our technologies is positive, these can be no assurance these perceptions could change in the future.  

  · advancement of alternative technologies.  The marketplace in which we operate is experiencing considerable innovation.  There can be no assurance that our competitors will not create alternative technologies that could place our products at a disadvantage in the market.  Such technological advancements could negatively affect our business operations and our ability to produce profits.

  · reductions in the environmental impact of traditional fossil fuel electric generation;

  · the environmental consciousness of consumers;

  · volatility in the cost of oil, natural gas and other fuels.  A significant long term decrease in the cost of alternatives could negatively affect our business operations and our ability to produce profits.

  · consumers’ perceptions of the dependency of the United States on oil from unstable or hostile countries;

  · government regulations and economic incentives promoting fuel efficiency and alternate forms of energy;

  · the availability of tax and other governmental incentives relative to electricity generation, storage or consumption;

  · perceptions about the technologies and the actual cost of both fossil fuels and alternative energy sources.

Our future growth may be dependent upon consumers’ willingness to adopt new technologies relative to pathogen detection, sterilization of interiors of buildings.

Our growth may be highly dependent upon the adoption by consumers, governments, and business of pathogen and illness mitigation technologies. If the market for new technologies that the Company may market in these areas does not develop as we expect or develops more slowly than we expect, our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results will be harmed. The market for our potential new pathogen mitigation related products is relatively new, rapidly evolving, characterized by rapidly changing technologies, price competition, additional competitors, evolving government regulation and industry standards, and changing consumer demands and behaviors. There can be no assurance our new technologies will be accepted by the market.

If our suppliers or technology license partners fail to use ethical business practices and comply with applicable laws and regulations, our brand image could be harmed due to negative publicity.

Our core values, which include developing the highest quality products while operating with integrity, are an important component of our brand image, which makes our reputation particularly sensitive to allegations of unethical business practices. We do not control our independent suppliers or their business practices. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee their compliance with ethical business practices, such as environmental responsibility, fair wage practices, and compliance with child labor laws, among others. A lack of demonstrated compliance could lead us to seek alternative suppliers, which could increase our costs and result in delayed delivery of our products, product shortages or other disruptions of our operations.

 17 
 

Violation of labor or other laws by our suppliers or the divergence of an independent supplier’s labor or other practices from those generally accepted as ethical in the United States or other markets in which we do business could also attract negative publicity for us and our brand. This could diminish the value of our brand image and reduce demand for our performance electric vehicles if, as a result of such violation, we were to attract negative publicity. If we, or other manufacturers in our industry, encounter similar problems in the future, it could harm our brand image, business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

We manufacture critical components used within electrical and cooling/heating systems and, as a result, could be subject to litigation.

Product liability claims are common in the electrical product and heating and cooling systems industry. Even though we have not been subject to such claims in the past, we could be the defendant in a lawsuit including those related to product liability claims alleging defects in the design, manufacture or operation of our green technology products. Any litigation, regardless of its merit or eventual outcome, could result in significant legal costs and high damage awards or settlements. Although we currently maintain product liability insurance, the coverage is subject to deductibles and limitations, and may not be adequate to cover future claims. Additionally, we may be unable to maintain our existing product liability insurance in the future at satisfactory rates or at adequate amounts.

If product liability lawsuits are brought against us, our business may be harmed, and we may be required to pay damages.

Our business exposes us to potential product liability claims that are inherent in the market for electrical systems and components and relative to the green technology and energy efficiency markets in which we do business. We could become the subject of product liability lawsuits alleging that component failures, malfunctions, manufacturing flaws, design defects or inadequate disclosure of product-related risks or product-related information resulted in an unsafe condition or injury to patients.

Regardless of the merit or eventual outcome, product liability claims may result in:

  · decreased demand for our products

  · injury to our reputation;

  · significant litigation costs;

  · substantial monetary awards to or costly settlements with customers;

  · product recalls;

  · material defense costs;

  · loss of revenues;

  · the inability to commercialize new products or product candidates; and diversion of management attention from pursuing our business strategy.

 

Our business may suffer if we are unable to attract or retain talented personnel.

Our success will depend in large measure on the abilities, expertise, judgment, discretion, integrity and good faith of Management, as well as other personnel. We have a small management team, and the loss of a key individual or our inability to attract suitably qualified replacements or additional staff could adversely affect our business. Our success also depends on the ability of Management to form and maintain key commercial relationships within the marketplace. No assurance can be given that key personnel will continue their association or employment with us or that replacement personnel with comparable skills will be found. If we are unable to attract and retain key personnel and additional employees, our business may be adversely affected. We do not maintain key-man life insurance on any of our executive employees.

 18 
 

The lack of available and cost-effective directors and officer’s insurance coverage in our industry may cause us to be unable to attract and retain qualified executives, and this may result in our inability to further develop our business.

Our business depends on attracting independent directors, executives and senior management to advance our business plans. We currently do not have directors and officer’s insurance to protect our sole director or any new directors that may be appointed in the future and the Company against the possible third-party claims. This is due to the significant lack of availability of such policies at reasonably competitive prices. As a result, the Company and our executive directors and officers are susceptible to liability claims arising by third parties, and as a result, we may be unable to attract and retain qualified independent directors and executive management causing the development of our business plans to be impeded as a result.

If we fail to maintain satisfactory relationships with future customers, our business may be harmed. 

Due to competition or other factors, we could lose business from our future customers, either partially or completely. The future loss of one or more of our significant customers or a substantial future reduction of orders by any of our significant customers could harm our business and results of operations. Moreover, our customers may vary their order levels significantly from period to period and customers may not continue to place orders with us in the future at the same levels as in prior periods. In the event that in the future we lose any of our larger customers, we may not be able to replace that revenue source. This could harm our financial results.

Management of growth will be necessary for us to be competitive.

Successful expansion of our business will depend on our ability to effectively attract and manage staff, strategic business relationships, and stockholders. Specifically, we will need to hire skilled management and technical personnel as well as manage partnerships to navigate shifts in the general economic environment. Expansion has the potential to place significant strains on financial, management, and operational resources, yet failure to expand will inhibit our profitability goals.

We depend on key personnel and have a difficult time recruiting needed personnel.

Our future success depends on the efforts of a small number of key personnel. In addition, due to our financial resources and specialized expertise required, we may not be able to recruit the individuals needed for our business needs. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in attracting and retaining the personnel we require to operate and be innovative.

Our strategies to grow our business may not be successful.

We are pursuing a variety of strategies to grow our business, including, as outlined below. There can be no assurances we will be able to successfully grow our business operations.

  · collaborations, licensing arrangements, joint ventures, strategic alliances or partnerships;

  · pursuing sales in international markets; and

  · acquisitions of complementary products or technologies.

 

As a growing company, we have to develop reliable accounting resources and internal controls. Failure to achieve and maintain effective controls could prevent us from producing reliable financial reports.

Effective internal controls and accounting resources are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports. We are in the process of implementing a system of internal controls. Failure to achieve and maintain an effective internal accounting and control environment could cause us to face regulatory action and also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, either of which could have an adverse effect on our business and financial results.

 19 
 

RISKS OF GOVERNMENT ACTION AND REGULATORY UNCERTAINTY

Our products and operations are subject to extensive government regulation and industry association group compliance requirements.  Our failure to comply with applicable requirements could harm our business.

Our products are subject to extensive regulation in the United States and elsewhere.  Within the United States, there are numerous government agencies that regulate electrical components and the connection and operation of these components and systems. These may include but are not limited to Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Department of Energy (DOE), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Federal Communication Commission (FCC), Federal Trade Commission (FTC), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).  Many states within the United States have similar bodies and the state Public Utilities Commission. Additionally, there are numerous industry associated standards created, such as those enacted by the National Electrical Manufacturers Association and other industry bodies, to which we could be required to adhere.   

The government imposed and industry regulations to which we are subject are complex and have tended to become more stringent over time. Regulatory changes could result in restrictions on our ability to carry on or expand our operations, higher than anticipated costs or lower than anticipated sales.   Lack of adherence to these many requirements could result in prohibitions on sales of our products; and in the most serious cases, criminal penalties.

Our future sales could be affected by availability of government subsidies for wind, solar or other alternative energy production sources.

There are numerous U.S. federal, U.S. state, and non-U.S. government programs to subsidize wind, solar and other alternative forms of energy production, storage, transmission, usage, etc. The availability of such programs or curtailment of such programs could have negative impacts on our business and our ability to generate revenues and profits. There can be no assurances any current program or future program will be ongoing. Any change to subsidy framework could negatively affect our operations.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK AND THIS OFFERING

We may need additional capital that will dilute the ownership interest of investors.

We may require additional capital to fund our future business operations. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity-related or convertible debt securities, these securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the rights of holders of our shares of common stock, who may experience dilution of their ownership interest of our shares of common stock. We cannot predict whether additional financing will be available to us on favorable terms when required, or at all. During recent financial periods, we have experienced negative cash flow from operations and expect to experience significant negative cash flow from operations in the future. The issuance of additional shares of common stock by our board of directors may have the effect of further diluting the proportionate equity interest and voting power of holders of our shares of common stock.

We will be controlled by existing stockholders after this offering.

Upon the completion of this Offering, our officers currently will continue to oversee the Company’s operations.  As a result, these individuals will likely have a significant influence on the affairs and management of the Company, as well as on all matters requiring stockholder approval, including electing and removing members of its board of directors, causing the Company to engage in transactions with affiliated entities, causing or restricting the sale or merger of the Company and changing the Company’s dividend policy. Such concentration of ownership and control could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company, even when such a change of control would be in the best interests of the Company’s other stockholders

This offering does not require a minimum number of Shares to be sold. As such, we may not receive sufficient funds from this offering. Thus, investors could be at risk.

This offering does not require a minimum number of Shares to be sold. We may raise less than the amount required to execute our stated maximum business plan, which calls for funding of $1,500,000 million, or our stated minimum business plan, which calls for funding of $375,000. If we are unable to raise sufficient funding to achieve the $375,000 in gross proceeds need to implement this minimum business plan, we may not be able to execute our business plan as designed. Although our primary current contract with Ego-Gen Energy, Inc. provides for prior payment of the Company’s services under that agreement, our efforts to license and develop the PoolCooledTM and MagnaSpringTM technologies, and other additional technologies, could be restricted if we raise less than the amount required to execute our stated minimum business plan. Investors could be at risk if we are unable to raise our minimum business plan amount because funds will need to be reserved for fees and expenses related to this offering and for administrative expense. As is outlined elsewhere in this filing, we estimate our total offering registration costs to be approximately $327.30 and our legal, auditor and related fees will be $5,500.00 equaling a total expense to the Company of $5,827.30 relating to the registration. A significant portion of these fees will be incurred by the Company regardless of the amount of gross proceeds raised via this Offering.

Our shares of common stock qualify as a penny stock. As such, we are subject to the risks associated with "penny stocks". Regulations relating to "penny stocks" limit the ability of our stockholders to sell their shares and, as a result, our stockholders may have to hold their shares indefinitely.

Our shares of common stock are deemed to be "penny stock" as that term is defined in Regulation Section 240.3a51-1 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Penny stocks are stocks: (a) with a price of less than $5.00 per share; (b) that are not traded on a "recognized" national exchange; (c) whose prices are not quoted on the NASDAQ automated quotation system (NASDAQ where listed stocks must still meet the requirement (a) above); or (d) in issuers with net tangible assets of less than $1,500,000 (if the issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years) or $5,000,000 (if in continuous operation for less than three years), or with average revenues of less than $6,000,000 for the last three years.

Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Regulation 240.15g(c)2 of the Securities and Exchange Commission require broker dealers dealing in penny stocks to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks and to obtain a manually signed and dated written receipt of the document before effecting any transaction in a penny stock for the investor's account. Potential investors in our shares of common stock are urged to obtain and read such disclosure carefully before purchasing any shares of common stock that are deemed to be "penny stock".

Moreover, Regulation 240.15g-9 of the SEC requires broker dealers in penny stocks to approve the account of any investor for transactions in such stocks before selling any penny stock to that investor. This procedure requires the broker dealer to: (a) obtain from the investor information concerning his or her financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives; (b) reasonably determine, based on that information, that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for the investor and that the investor has sufficient knowledge and experience as to be reasonably capable of evaluating the risks of penny stock transactions; (c) provide the investor with a written statement setting forth the basis on which the broker dealer made the determination in (ii) above; and (d) receive a signed and dated copy of such statement from the investor confirming that it accurately reflects the investor's financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives. Compliance with these requirements may make it more difficult for investors in our shares of common stock to resell their shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them. Holders should be aware that, according to SEC Release No. 34-29093, dated April 17, 1991, the market for penny stocks suffers from patterns of fraud and abuse.

Our Management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, Management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities.

FINRA sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock and to deposit certificates in paper form or to clear shares for trading under Safe Harbor exemptions and regulations for unregistered shares.

 21 
 

In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (known as “FINRA”) has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for brokerdealers to recommend that their customers buy our shares of common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for our investors to deposit paper stock certificates or to clear our shares of common stock that are transferred electronically to brokerage accounts. There can be no assurances that our investors will be able to clear our shares for eventual resale.

Costs and expenses of being a reporting company under the 1934 Securities Exchange Act may be burdensome and prevent us from achieving profitability.

As a public company, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and parts of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We expect that the requirements of these rules and regulations will continue to increase our legal, accounting and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming and costly, and place a significant strain on our personnel, systems, and resources.

RISKS RELATED TO THE OFFERING

Since our shares of common stock are thinly traded their value is more susceptible to extreme rises or declines in price, and you may not be able to sell your shares at or above the price paid.

Since our shares of common stock are thinly traded its trading price is likely to be highly volatile and could be subject to extreme fluctuations in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including (but not necessarily limited to): the trading volume of our shares, the number of analysts, market-makers and brokers following our shares of common stock, new products or services introduced or announced by us or our competitors, actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results, conditions or trends in our business industries, additions or departures of key personnel, sales of our shares of common stock and general stock market price and volume fluctuations of publicly traded, and particularly microcap, companies.

Investors may have difficulty reselling shares of our common stock, either at or above the price they paid for our stock, or even at fair market value. The stock markets often experience significant price and volume changes that are not related to the operating performance of individual companies, and because our shares of common stock are thinly traded it is particularly susceptible to such changes. These broad market changes may cause the market price of our shares of common stock to decline regardless of how well we perform as a company. In addition, there is a history of securities class action litigation following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities. Although there is no such litigation currently pending or threatened against us, such a suit against us could result in the incursion of substantial legal fees, potential liabilities and the diversion of management’s attention and resources from our business. Moreover, and as noted below, our shares are currently quoted on the OTC Markets Pink and, further, are subject to the penny stock regulations. Price fluctuations in such shares are particularly volatile and subject to potential manipulation by market-makers, short-sellers and option traders.

Our chief executive officer and our sole director will continue to have substantial control over us after this offering, which could limit your ability to influence the outcome of key transactions, including a change of control.

After this offering, our executive officer and principal stockholders will beneficially own or control, directly or indirectly, a significant majority of our shares. For example, our CEO and sole director holds 30,000,000 shares of preferred stock that allows for up to 96.8% control of any Stockholder vote. As a result, this stockholder could have significant influence over the outcome of matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the election or removal of directors, any amendments to our certificate of incorporation or bylaws and any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and over the management and affairs of our company. This concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of our company or discouraging others from making tender offers for our shares and might affect the market price of our common stock.

Our chief executive officer, Julia Otey-Raudes, is considered the underwriter of this offering and is a Selling Stockholder.

The Shares will be sold in a “Direct Public Offering” through director and Chief Executive Officer Julia Otey-Raudes, who may be considered an underwriter as that term is defined in Section 2(a) (11).

Because we do not expect to pay any dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future, investors in this offering may never receive a return on their investment.

We do not anticipate that we will pay any cash dividends to holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future. Instead, we plan to retain any earnings to maintain and expand our existing operations. Accordingly, investors must rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize any return on their investment.

There could be unidentified risks involved with an investment in our securities.

The foregoing risk factors are not a complete list or explanation of the risks involved with an investment in the securities. Additional risks will likely be experienced that are not presently foreseen by the Company. Prospective investors must not construe this and the information provided herein as constituting investment, legal, tax or other professional advice. Before making any decision to invest in our securities, you should read this entire Prospectus and consult with your own investment, legal, tax and other professional advisors. An investment in our securities is suitable only for investors who can assume the financial risks of an investment in the Company for an indefinite period of time and who can afford to lose their entire investment. The Company makes no representations or warranties of any kind with respect to the likelihood of the success or the business of the Company, the value of our securities, any financial returns that may be generated or any tax benefits or consequences that may result from an investment in the Company.

For this purpose, any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

The Selling Stockholders are selling all of their Shares of our common stock covered by this Prospectus for their own accounts, and the Company will not receive any proceeds from the resale of our common stock by the Selling Stockholders.

 

The Company will receive all proceeds from any sale of the Shares of common stock under the Direct Public Offering. We estimate that the gross proceeds to us from the sale of our Common Stock in the Direct Public Offering will be approximately $1,500,000, based on an assumed initial public offering price of $0.06 per share. Each $0.01 increase (decrease) in the assumed offering price of $0.06 per share would increase (decrease) the proceeds to us from this offering by approximately $250,000 assuming the number of Shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus, remains the same and estimated offering expenses payable by us remain the same.

 

We estimate our total offering registration costs to be approximately $327.30, which will be paid from corporate funds. We estimate our legal and auditor related fees will be $5,500.00, which, together with registration fees, will reduce the funds received by the Company via the Direct Public Offering by $5,827.30. Similarly, each increase (decrease) of one million shares in the number of Shares of common stock offered by us would increase (decrease) the net proceeds that we receive from this offering by approximately $60,000 assuming the offering price remains the same.

 

Our Direct Public Offering is being made without the involvement of underwriters or broker-dealers. We intend to disburse the proceeds from this Offering in the priority set forth below within the first 12 months after successful completion of this Offering. The following chart indicates the approximate amount of funds that we will allocate to each item, but does not indicate the total fee/cost of each item.  The amount of proceeds we allocate to each item is dependent upon the amount of proceeds we receive from this offering:

 

If we sell all of the Shares being offered, our net proceeds will be $1,500,000. If the Offering is fully subscribed, the proceeds will be applied in the manner described below. If less than the full numbers of shares are subscribed, the proceeds will be applied in the order of priority listed. If we are only to receive between $0 and $375,000, we would need to amend our business plan. Our business with Eco-Gen, requiring payment to us prior to the provision of services, will not be significantly affected if we do not fully subscribe this Offering, however, some of our other initiatives would be affected. The following table sets forth a breakdown of the estimated use of the net proceeds as we currently expect to use them, assuming the sale of 100%, 75%, 50% and 25% of the Shares offered for sale in this offering:

  

Assumed Percentage of Shares Sold 25% 50% 75% 100%
Shares Shares Shares Shares
Sold Sold Sold Sold
       
GROSS PROCEEDS FROM OFFERING $375,000 $750,000 $1,125,000 $1,500,000

Miscellaneous (including registration fees) $500 $500 $500 $500

The above figures represent only estimated costs. As indicated in the table above, if we sell only 75%, or 50%, or 25% of the Shares offered for sale in this offering, we would expect to use the resulting net proceeds for the same purposes as we would use the net proceeds from a sale of 100% of the Shares, and in approximately the same proportions. However, the lower our net proceeds, the less we would expect to use the funds in the expenditure categories.

 

(1) Capital Purchases - This may include but is not limited to purchase of computers, computer monitors, laptops, cell phones, desk telephones, and servers.

 

(2) Contractors - This may include but is not limited to contractor services for intellectual property legal counsel, patent development specialists, corporate legal services, sales representatives, technical support staff, product design engineers, mechanical and electrical engineers, and administrative staff. We anticipate that the cost of securing intellectual property protections, such as patent attorneys, will comprise the bulk of this cost.

 

(3) General & Administrative - This may include, but is not be limited to rent, insurance, internet, office equipment, office supplies, postage, subscriptions, overnight delivery services, telephone, utilities, and web hosting.

 

(4) Marketing & Promotion - This may include but is not limited to development of corporate presentations, graphic design services, document printing, conference attendance fees, web design, and general advertising costs.

 

(5) Research & Development - This may include but is not limited to technology development costs, product prototype manufacturing, and software licenses for enterprise resource planning software for development purposes.

 

(6) Salaries and Consulting Expense - We anticipate meeting all staffing need through a combination of outside third-party service providers (contractors) and salaried employees. Although our CEO is currently not drawing a salary, our employment agreement with our CEO requires the Company to pay a salary of $300,000 per year for full-time services which may be paid from proceeds of this offering. Other than the salary for our full time CEO, the allocation of funds for salaries and consulting expense is for new-hires and filling part and full-time positions necessary to expand the Company operations. At 25% of the proceeds we estimate it will be able to accommodate up to 1 employee; at 50% of the proceeds we will be able to accommodate up to 2 employees and at 75-100% of the proceeds we estimate we can accommodate a staff of up to 4 people. With a fully funded business plan, the Company intends to hire a full-time in-house controller to manage banking, accounting, billing, and product development expense financial controls.

This offering does not require a minimum number of Shares to be sold. We may raise less than the amount required to execute our stated maximum business plan, which calls for funding of $1,500,000, or our stated minimum business plan, which calls for funding of $375,000. If we are unable to raise sufficient funding to achieve the $375,000 in gross proceeds need to implement this minimum business plan, we may not be able to execute our business plan as designed. Although our primary current contract with Ego-Gen Energy, Inc. provides for advance payment of the Company’s services under that agreement, our efforts to license and develop the PoolCooledTM and MagnaSpringTM technologies, and other additional technologies, could be restricted if we raise less than the amount required to execute our stated minimum business plan. In the event we do not sell all of the Shares being offered, we may seek additional financing to support the intended use of proceeds discussed above. If we secure additional equity funding, investors in this Offering would be diluted. In all events, there can be no assurance that additional financing would be available when needed and, if available, on terms acceptable to us.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

 

Our shares of common stock are currently quoted on the OTC Markets Pink under the symbol “ECOX”. The proposed offering price of the Shares is $0.06 and has been estimated solely for the purpose of computing the amount of the registration fee in accordance with Rule 457(c) of the Securities Act of 1933, on the basis of the average of the transaction prices of the shares of common stock of the Company as reported on the OTC Markets Group, Inc., for the last two years.

This Prospectus relates to the following. The Company will be registering all Shares of Common Stock under the Exchange Act in connection with this Offering.

 

  1) The offer and sale from time to time of up to 25,000,000 of the Company’s common shares by the Selling Stockholders. The 25,000,000 common shares being offered by the Selling Stockholders will represent approximately 18.4% of the 139,930,680 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of the date of this Prospectus.

 

  2) The offer and sale from time to time of up to 25,000,000 of the Company’s common shares by the Company. We intend to offer and sell these shares through our officers and directors who will receive no compensation or fees with the offers and/or sales.

  3) The total of 50,000,000 shares included in this Offering, including the 25,000,000 shares being offered by the Selling Stockholders and the 25,000,000 common shares offered by the Company in the Direct Public Offering will represent approximately 36.8% of our shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of the date of this Prospectus.

 

  4) Common shares Outstanding Prior to the Offering: 139,930,680

 

  5) Common shares to be Outstanding After to the Offering: 164,930,680

 

DIVIDEND POLICY

 

We have not declared or paid dividends on our common stock since our formation, and we do not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future. Declaration or payment of dividends, if any, in the future, will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on our then current financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors. There are no contractual restrictions on our ability to declare or pay dividends. Consequently, you will only realize an economic gain on your investment in our common stock if the price appreciates. You should not purchase our common stock expecting to receive cash dividends. Since we do not anticipate paying dividends, and if we are not successful in establishing an orderly public trading market for our shares, then you may not have any manner to liquidate or receive any payment on your investment. Therefore, our failure to pay dividends may cause you to not see any return on your investment even if we are successful in our business operations. In addition, because we may not pay dividends in the foreseeable future, we may have trouble raising additional funds which could affect our ability to expand our business operations.

The Selling Stockholders and any of their pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their Shares of our Common Stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the Shares are traded or quoted or in private transactions. The Selling Stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling Shares:

Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders, or, if any broker-dealer acts as an agent for the purchaser of Shares, from the purchaser, in amounts to be negotiated. The Selling Stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.

 

The Selling Stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the Shares owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell Shares of our Common Stock from time to time under this Prospectus, or under an amendment to this Prospectus under Rule 462(c) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 amending the list of Selling Stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as Selling Stockholders under this Prospectus.

 

The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks.” Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver to the prospective purchaser a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from such rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the prospective purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. Furthermore, subsequent to a transaction in a penny stock, the broker-dealer will be required to deliver monthly or quarterly statements containing specific information about the penny stock. It is anticipated that our common stock will be traded on the OTC Markets Pink at a price of less than $5.00. In this event, broker-dealers would be required to comply with the disclosure requirements mandated by the penny stock rules. These disclosure requirements will likely make it more difficult for investors in this Offering to sell their Common Stock in the secondary market.

 

Upon our being notified in writing by a Selling Stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of our Common Stock through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, a post-effective amendment to this Prospectus will be filed, if required, pursuant to Rule 462(c) under the Securities Act, disclosing (i) the name of each such Selling Stockholder and of the participating broker-dealer(s), (ii) the number of Shares involved, (iii) the price at which such Shares of our common stock were sold, (iv)the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s). In addition, upon our being notified in writing by a Selling Stockholder that a donee or pledgee intends to sell more than 500 shares of our Common Stock, a post-effective amendment to this Prospectus will be filed if then required in accordance with applicable securities law.

Prior to any involvement of any broker-dealer in the Offering, such broker-dealer must seek and obtain clearance of the underwriting compensation and arrangements from FINRA.

  

The Selling Stockholders also may transfer the Shares of our Common Stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this Prospectus.

 

The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the Shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the Shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, that can be attributed to the sale of Shares will be paid by the Selling Stockholder and/or the purchasers. Each Selling Stockholder has represented and warranted to us that it acquired the securities subject to this Prospectus in the ordinary course of such Selling Stockholders’ business and, at the time of its purchase of such securities, such Selling Stockholder had no agreements or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute any such securities. 

 

We have advised each Selling Stockholder that it may not use Shares registered in this Prospectus to cover short sales of our Common Stock made prior to the date on which this Prospectus shall have been declared effective by the Commission. If a Selling Stockholder uses this Prospectus for any sale of our common stock, it will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The Selling Stockholders will be responsible to comply with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations there under promulgated, including, without limitation, Regulation M, as applicable to such Selling Stockholders in connection with resales of their respective Shares under this Prospectus.

 

We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the Shares. We have agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

 

All sales by the Company to the public through direct the Direct Public Offering will be issued directly from the Company to the subscriber as a proceeds-generating offering for the Company.

Agreement with Eco-Gen Energy, Inc.

 

On August 25, 2020, the Company signed a Master Outsourcing Contract Manufacturing Agreement with Eco-Gen Energy, Inc. (“Eco-Gen”), pursuant to which the Company will manage the production and delivery of Eco-Gen’s JouleBox® Power Station. The Master Outsourcing Contract Manufacturing Agreement with Eco-Gen is a related party transaction insofar as our CEO, sole director, and controlling stockholder, Julia Otey-Raudes, is a director and shareholder of Eco-Gen. The value of the Eco-Gen agreement is estimated at $25,500,000 in potential gross revenue and $3,825,000 in potential net profit over the next twelve months. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will earn a margin of 15% of the cost of services provided to Eco-Gen.

 

Note Issuances to Pinnacle Consulting Services, Inc.

In 2019 and 2020, we issued promissory notes to Robert L. Hymers III (“Hymers”) and Pinnacle Consulting Services, Inc., an entity beneficially owned by Hymers, a beneficial owner of more than 5% of our capital stock, but less than 9.99%.

 

On December 2, 2019, the Company issued a convertible promissory note to holder Pinnacle Consulting Services Inc. in the principal amount of $40,000, which matured and entered default on June 9, 2020. This note bears interest at 5% per annum and is convertible in whole or in part at the option of the holder into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock as is determined by dividing that portion of the outstanding principal balance under the note by a conversion price defined as a 35% discount of the lowest reported sale price of the Company’s common stock for the 15 trading days immediately prior to the date of conversion. On November 16, 2020, the Company and Pinnacle entered into an amendment to this note, extending the maturity date to April 1, 2021, and adding an ownership limitation whereby the holder is unable to effect any conversion under the note if the holder owns greater than 4.99% of the Company outstanding capital stock. As a result of this amendment to the convertible promissory note, the note is no longer in default.

 

In May 2016, a consultant was awarded the right to receive 100,000,000 shares of common stock. In May 2018, this right was assigned to Heritage Funding, Inc. and John English equally in exchange for $9,9038 to be paid by the Company. The promissory note was convertible into 100,000,000 shares of common stock at a fixed price of $0.0009. In October 2019, Heritage Funding entered into a private transaction to sell the right to 45,000,000 of its 50,000,000 shares to Blue Ridge Enterprises. Also, in October 2019, Blue Ridge Enterprises and Heritage Funding converted principal into 45,000,000 and 5,000,000 shares of common stock, respectively. In May 2020, Robert L. Hymers III (“Hymers”) purchased half of the remaining convertible promissory note and its related conversion rights from John English in a private transaction. In May 2020, John English converted principal of $2,451 into 25,000,000 shares of common stock. The remaining principal balance owed to Hymers of $2,451 was convertible into 25,000,000 shares of stock at September 30, 2020. On November 16, 2020, the Company and Hymers entered into a debt exchange agreement (the “Debt Exchange Agreement”) whereby the remaining principal balance owed to Hymers of $2,451 has been exchanged for a convertible promissory note with a principal amount of $2,451, a maturity date of November 15, 2021, bearing interest at the rate of 12% per annum and convertible into 25 million shares of the Company’s common stock. Pursuant to the terms of this convertible promissory note, certain conversion limitations apply to the holder’s conversion option, with the effect that the holder shall not be allowed to effect a conversion if such conversion would result in the holder’s aggregate total ownership of the Company’s common stock exceeding 4.99% of the Company’s then-outstanding shares of common stock.

On May 12, 2020, the Company executed a convertible note with Pinnacle Consulting Services Inc. for $12,500 due on May 12, 2021. This note bears interest at 10% per annum and is convertible (in whole or in part), at the option of the Holder, into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock as is determined by dividing that portion of the outstanding principal balance under this Note by the Conversion Price, which is fixed at $0.0025 per share. The Company recognized a beneficial conversion feature of $12,500 as debt discount related to this convertible note based on the intrinsic value of the conversion feature at the time of issuance. Pursuant to the terms of this convertible promissory note, certain conversion limitations apply to the holder’s conversion option, with the effect that the holder shall not be allowed to effect a conversion if such conversion would result in the holder’s aggregate total ownership of the Company’s common stock exceeding 4.99% of the Company’s then-outstanding shares of common stock.

 

On June 30, 2020, the Company executed a convertible note with Pinnacle Consulting Services Inc. for $21,000 due on June 30, 2021. This note bears interest at 10% per annum and is convertible (in whole or in part), at the option of the Holder, into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock as is determined by dividing that portion of the outstanding principal balance under this Note by the Conversion Price, which is a 35% discount of the lowest reported sale price of the common stock for the 15 trading days immediately prior to the date of conversion. Pursuant to the terms of this convertible promissory note, certain conversion limitations apply to the holder’s conversion option, with the effect that the holder shall not be allowed to effect a conversion if such conversion would result in the holder’s aggregate total ownership of the Company’s common stock exceeding 4.99% of the Company’s then-outstanding shares of common stock.

 

2020 Common Stock Financing

On August 14, 2020, we issued and sold 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.005 per share to Pinnacle Consulting Services, Inc. in exchange for a cash payment of $20,000, received on August 14, 2020. As a result of this transaction, Pinnacle Consulting Services, Inc. holds a total of 11,500,000 common shares or 8.22% of our outstanding common stock.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Business Strategy

 

Eco Innovation Group, Inc. is a socially responsible and sustainability-focused technology incubator devoted to the commercialization of select intellectual property that, given the right business platform, has the potential to achieve high-value commercial success. Our value creation strategy is a strategic approach to environmental sustainability: we seek innovative socially responsible products and technologies with the potential to create globally important paradigm shifts in energy efficiency and environmental sustainability. Consistent with our strategy, we seek to license, develop and market environmentally sustainable and socially responsible technologies that have compelling market potential.

Market Opportunity

We believe our strategic approach to environmental sustainability and socially responsible technology development offers an attractive value proposition. Environmental sustainability and social responsibility are at the core of a rapidly growing target market recognized for its growth prospects, driven by consumer preference, competitive imperative, regulatory impacts, investor mandates and capital markets. Consumers, both individual and institutional, are core to the change.

According to a report published by Deloitte in February 2020, environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investing is rapidly growing in major global economies and capital markets. As reported by Deloitte, ESG-mandated assets in the United States could grow almost three times as fast as non-ESG-mandated assets to comprise half of all professionally managed investments by 2025, and an estimated 200 new funds in the United States with an ESG investment mandate are expected to launch over the next three years, more than doubling the activity from the previous three years. Also, the Governance and Accountability Institute suggested that 86% of S&P 500 companies published sustainability reports in 2018 – up from 20% in 2011. Studies conducted by NYU Stern and Bank of America reported that consumers are also increasingly looking to align themselves with sustainable companies that serve a greater social purpose.

In our approach to the Company’s market opportunity, we not only look for great people with great technology, as part of our nine-step “Evaluation to Market” discipline, we also look to choose scalable technology opportunities and to maximize profit margins.

Business Model

 

As a technology incubator, Eco Innovation Group works to bring new technologies to consumers by providing the services needed to manufacture and distribute products incorporating the technology. We provide technology developers with strong commercialization support from concept and product development to marketing and promotion, as described in greater detail below. With a focus on socially responsible and sustainable technologies, we seek out innovative inventors developing technologies with socially responsible benefits in the areas of energy efficiency, carbon emissions reduction, environmentally sustainable housing, green foods, and clean water. We focus specifically on developing sustainable and socially responsible technologies for the U.S. and international markets.

 

 

 34 
 

 

Our services are provided through a nine-step “Evaluation to Market” process, used to identify and develop scalable technology opportunities that will have market potential with the application of strong commercialization support. The Evaluation to Market process consists of the application of our capital and management expertise through our provision of the following services:

1. Idea Generation: identifying goods and services that fit our corporate socially responsible and sustainable objectives.
2. Idea Screening: working directly with Inventors, Developers and Entrepreneurs to identify products and services for commercialization.
3. Concept Development and Testing: working directly with Inventors, Developers and Entrepreneurs to build prototypes and proof of concept for commercialization. 
4. Market Strategy Development: there are lots of great ideas, but not all pass the market strategy development.  The market analysis helps us determine if a product has market potential and also meets our corporate objectives.
5. Business Analysis: During this process we identify markets, competition, cost analysis, manufacturing options, logistics and distribution channels.
6. Technology Licensing: using our attorneys to protect IP with patents and trademarks as well as licensing agreements.
7. Product Development: engineering design, manufacturing prior to market introduction.
8. Test Marketing/Promotion: using market analytics to test market and solidify our market projections.
9. Commercialization: introducing products to market and realizing revenue.

 

The Company currently has three product technologies in steps six and seven of the above process: the JouleBox® Power Station, the PowerBoosterTM electric generation technology, and the MagnoSpringTM spring magnetic motor. As part of the application of our capital and management expertise through this nine-step Evaluation to Market process, the Company works closely with our inventors and innovators to develop and test the product concepts and applications, to build application-ready prototypes, to develop the technology marketing strategies, and work with the independent distributors as well as the contract manufacturers to get final products to consumers. While the Company does not create or originate the technologies behind the products, we provide these valuable services to enable the inventors of the technologies to take their innovations from concept to market. The Company has identified and is working directly with several contract manufacturers to allow us to scale manufacturing capacity to meet expected product demand.

 

By employing a business plan purposefully designed to use leased employees, independent contractors and contract manufacturers to scale production and meet the demands of taking our products to market, the Company believes it will be able to accomplish its goals of delivering products at the lowest cost and greatest efficiency utilizing its limited infrastructure.

 

Our Technology Agreements

 

Eco-Gen Energy: On August 25, 2020, the Company signed a Master Outsourcing Contract Manufacturing Agreement with Eco-Gen Energy, Inc. (“Eco-Gen”), pursuant to which the Company will manage the production and delivery of Eco-Gen’s JouleBox® Power Station. The Master Outsourcing Contract Manufacturing Agreement with Eco-Gen is a related party transaction insofar as our CEO and controlling Stockholder, Julia Otey-Raudes, is a director and shareholder of Eco-Gen, and in that the Company’s offices are provided to the Company by Eco-Gen in a space located within Eco-Gen’s corporate offices.

 

Under the Eco-Gen agreement, the Company has contracted to provide material purchase and management services, supply base management services, final product and component production services, delivery services, inventory management services, and related financial services for the production and delivery of Eco-Gen’s JouleBox® Power Station. Eco-Gen is required to advance payment to the Company prior to the Company’s performance of these services.

 

To perform our obligations under the Eco-Gen agreement, the Company will engage contract manufacturers and other independent contractors to perform the services and charge the cost of goods and services through to Eco-Gen with a 15% margin. As the services will be outsourced by the Company using third parties, including (but not limited to) intellectual property legal counsel to register trademarks and patents, engineering and manufacturing firms to design and produce the Company’s products, and marketing and advertising firms, the Company plans to manufacture and source products under the Eco-Gen agreement with limited personnel resources.

 

 

 35 
 

 

 

The agreement between the Company and Eco-Gen requires that Eco-Gen pay all Company services in advance and does not require the Company to extend credit to Eco-Gen. As our services will be pre-paid by Eco-Gen, none of the proceeds of this Offering will be necessary to allow the Company to perform under the contract with Eco-Gen. Accordingly, the Company believes that we incur a negligible financial risk associated with the Eco-Gen agreement. Eco-Gen has a ten-year operating history and approximately 200 shareholders and does substantial business with significant clients. Due to our knowledge of Eco-Gen’s business and their ability to perform their financial obligations under our manufacturing agreement, we believe that Eco-Gen will be able to perform those obligations.

 

In connection with our agreement with Eco-Gen, the Company has received two signed purchase orders from Eco-Gen, for $13,749,875 and $6,050,000 respectively, representing an aggregate current commitment of $19,799,875. These purchase orders from Eco-Gen are for our provision of services to Eco-Gen under our Master Outsourcing Contract Manufacturing Agreement with Eco-Gen, and correspond to purchase orders received by Eco-Gen for the JouleBox® Power Station, which we will have manufactured under our agreement with Eco-Gen. Additionally, the Company and Eco-Gen are negotiating a third purchase order, still unsigned as of the date of this amended Prospectus, for an additional $6,000,000. In the third quarter of 2020, Eco-Gen paid the Company $100,000 for services under the two executed purchase orders, which are service fees earned and non-refundable under the Eco-Gen agreement.

 

Eco-Gen’s JouleBox® Power Station is a 60kW hybrid generator capable of producing 525,600 kWh of electricity annually. JouleBox® Power Station units can be installed in arrays with complementary solar panels and lithium ion battery packs configured to meet any size commercial application to provide businesses with clean, renewable energy. More information on Eco-Gen and the JouleBox® Power Station is available at Eco-Gen’s website, http://eco-genenergy.com/.

 

Power BoosterTM Licensing Agreement

 

Power Booster™: On June 16, 2020, the Company signed a Master Exclusive Licensing, Marketing, Distribution and Sales Agreement with the Bellagio IP Trust for the Power Booster™ technology, giving the Company the exclusive right to market Power Booster™ products. The Power Booster™ technology utilizes proprietary technologies incorporating electrical magnetism and high-speed switching technology to boost energy output from residential and commercial power systems. The Power Booster™ is based on advanced electronics that allow an electrical system within a home or business to be supplied with 880 watts of electricity and output useful electrical power of 2,200 watts while increasing the Power Factor (PF) and Total Harmonic Distortion (THD). 

 

The Company licensed the Power Booster™ technology based on the Company’s belief that the technology has the potential to achieve high-value commercial success. Based on tests performed by the Company and the patent holder, the Power Booster™ technology can achieve up to a 60% saving in energy consumption, depending on multiple factors, including intended usage, quality of existing power source and overall system configuration, over standard generator technology. Actual energy savings will vary depending on overall application and other factors. The Company plans to engage third parties to market products using the Power Booster™ technology in the United States.

 

The core technology behind the Power Booster™ system is based on an innovative use of high-speed switching that is not currently available the U.S. generator market.  The system allows for energy creation in direct proportion to the induction of the magnetic field implemented into the system, thus creating useful electric energy from the magnetic field.  The Company plans to administer the marketing of the Power Booster™ system via multiple sales channels, including solar power electrical manufacturers, solar power systems integrators and installers, new homebuilders, and power system distribution companies. Additionally, the increased PF and THD mean that in some installations, when the device is properly installed and configured, the user will need less electricity.

 

 

 36 
 

 

The Exclusive Global Licensing Agreement with the Bellagio IP Trust (“Bellagio”)(the “Bellagio Agreement”) grants rights to the Company to market the Power Booster™ and other products developed by Bellagio. In exchange for the agreement, the Company has issued Bellagio a restricted stock grant of twenty-five million (25,000,000) restricted common shares in the Company and will pay to Bellagio a royalty of 11% of the net manufacturing price of all Power Booster™ products sold. With the Bellagio Agreement put into place, the Company is in the initial stages of marketing and distributing the Power Booster™ system and has thus far generated no revenue from the product. Since the signing date of the Exclusive Global Licensing Agreement with Bellagio, the impacts of Covid-19 on the 2020 business climate has impeded significant progress by the Company on this initiative. Due to international travel restrictions since March of 2020, the "Development and Manufacturing Agreement" mentioned in the agreement has not been executed yet, and the Company cannot be sure if or when, under the current global climate, that manufacturing agreement will be signed. Additionally, bringing the Power Booster™ technology to market will require significant financial inputs on the Company’s part over the next 12 months.

MagnoSpringTM: On October 26, 2020, the Company signed an Exclusive License Agreement with Fortin & Associates LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Fortin”), giving the Company the exclusive worldwide right to make, use, sell, lease, import, export, or otherwise dispose of products utilizing Fortin’s magnetic spring mechanical motor technology, including the right to have products using the energy efficient technology made by third party manufacturers. The MagnoSpringTM technology comprises a mechanical motor that produces the rotation of its shaft using a system of magnets and springs. Pursuant to the MagnoSpringTM technology licensing agreement with Fortin, after the completion of an operable prototype that provides proof of concept for the technology, Fortin shall, at the Company’s expense, procure patents for the MagnoSpringTM technology. Under the agreement, the Company is responsible for all costs for preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of patents for the MagnoSpringTM technology, and shall have final authority over all decisions concerning filing prosecution of patent applications and patents, including the selection of patent attorneys.

As compensation to Fortin for entering into the Exclusive License Agreement for the MagnoSpringTM technology with the Company, we agreed to pay Fortin (or its principals) a restricted stock grant of 6,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock subject to a vesting schedule to be determined in the relevant stock grant agreement. Additionally, the Company will pay a royalty of 10% of the net cost of goods for products using the MagnoSpringTM technology that are manufactured and sold. The MagnoSpringTM technology licensing agreement is a continuing worldwide licensing agreement that according to its terms shall remain in effect during the complete lifetime of all patents for the MagnoSpringTM technology. 

The Company is currently working with Fortin on the development of a MagnoSpringTM technology prototype, and our work on patenting the MagnoSpringTM technology has begun as of the date of this Prospectus. However, due to the impact of COVID 19 and other factors, the Company cannot be sure if or when the MagnoSpringTM technology will be brought to market and result in revenue for the Company.

We are in the process of negotiating other technology licensing arrangements with other technology innovators, both entities and individuals. As of the time of this filing, these other potential elements of the Company’s business model remain under negotiation and in developmental stages.

Corporate Information

 

The Company’s shares are quoted on the OTC Markets Pink Sheet tier, under the symbol ECOX. Our executive offices are located at 16525 Sherman Way, Suite C-1, Van Nuys, CA 91406, and our telephone number is (747) 224-2453.

 

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). As such, we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. If some investors find our securities less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our securities and the prices of our securities may be more volatile.

 37 
 

 

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We intend to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the completion of this offering, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our ordinary shares that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30, and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period. References herein to “emerging growth company” will have the meaning associated with it in the JOBS Act.

Additionally, we are a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements, and, if their revenues are less than $100 million, not providing an independent registered public accounting firm attestation on internal control over financial reporting.

Corporate History

 

Eco Innovation Group, Inc., was originally incorporated on March 5, 2001 as Dig-It Underground, Inc., a Nevada corporation that initially operated as an underground cable contractor. On September 29, 2008, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with Haydin Group Enterprises (“Haydin”), a sole proprietorship, and concurrently resolved to wind down its cable installation business. By virtue of the share exchange agreement, the Company acquired an interest in Haydin’s salon equipment, office equipment, lease assignments for salon locations, reception office equipment, salon stations, and remodeled salon facilities that included upgraded and permitted electrical, plumbing and signage. The Company’s business focused on the operation of a string of high-end beauty salons in the Cedar Hill, Texas area.

On September 1, 2011, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with Get Down Art, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company. The consummation of the share exchange provided the Company with original art and agreements with artists with licensing agreements with businesses. The Company acquired art inventory, accounts receivable, office leasing and build out. The Company resolved to unwind its previous acquisition of Haydin dated September 29, 2008.

On August 30, 2012, the Company acquired Haydin as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company through a share exchange agreement wherein the Company issued fifty million shares of its common stock in exchange for all of the legal right title and interest in the assets of Haydin, which owned a chain of high-end beauty salons that focused on skin and hair care and nail care. Haydin also promoted sales of beauty supplies and products and sold to other salons in Texas. The Haydin beauty salons retained highly trained experienced cosmetologists who had a long history with the business. Concurrently, the Company discontinued its business with Get Down Art, LLC and resolved to unwind that acquisition.

On January 5, 2016, the Company acquired Expressions Property Limited, LP, a Texas limited partnership and Expressions Chiropractic and Rehab Center, PA in a share exchange agreement. This acquisition allowed the Company to enter into the natural healing and chiropractic business in Cedar Hill and North Richland Hills, Texas.

Effective June 30, 2018, the Company resolved and agreed to spin out Haydin Group Enterprises, Expressions Property Limited, LP and Expressions Chiropractic and Rehab Center, PA as private entities and thereby unwinding the share exchange agreements entered into on August 30, 2012 and January 5, 2016, respectively.

The Company was subsequently an innovation incubator platform from 2018 until early 2020 that was devoted to globally important paradigm shifts in technology, sustainable products development, and research, will initially re introduce a more affordable, fire, hurricane and earthquake resilient steel framing system.

On February 28, 2020, our current CEO and controlling Stockholder, Julia Otey-Raudes, took over management and control of the company and transferred all of the IP relating to the Company’s old business model back to John English. In the related change of control transaction, Ms. Otey acquired 30,000,000 shares of super-voting Preferred Series A stock on February 28, 2020, and launched the company into a new direction. The Company is now an innovation incubator platform devoted to globally important paradigm shifts in technology, sustainable and carbon negative products development and practical deployment worldwide. ECOX will initially introduce a revolutionary power booster for homes and offices that, when installed as directed, holds the potential to reduce energy consumption, depending on configuration by up to 60% and other energy saving related technologies.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

This discussion and analysis may include statements regarding our expectations with respect to our future performance, liquidity, and capital resources. Such statements, along with any other non-historical statements in the discussion, are forward-looking. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, factors listed in other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC'').

Overview and Financial Condition

 

Going Concern

 

The Company sustained continued operating losses during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations, in which it has not been successful, and/or obtaining additional financing from its stockholders or other sources, as may be required.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern; however, the above conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to do so. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result, should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

While priority is on generating cash from operations through the sale of the Company's products and services, Management is also seeking to raise additional working capital through various financing sources, including the sale of the Company's equity and/or debt securities, which may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. If such financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue our business as desired and our operating results will be adversely affected. In addition, any financing arrangement may have potentially adverse effects on us and/or our stockholders. Debt financing (if available and undertaken) will increase expenses, must be repaid regardless of operating results and may involve restrictions limiting our operating flexibility. If we issue equity securities to raise additional funds, the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders will be reduced and the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the current holders of our shares of common stock.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

 

Director Independence

 

We are not listed on a major U.S. securities exchange and, therefore, are not subject to the corporate governance requirements of any such exchange, including those related to the independence of directors. Upon our listing on any national securities exchange or any inter-dealer quotation system, we will elect such independent directors as is necessary under the rules of any such securities exchange.

 43 
 

Board Leadership Structure

 

We currently have one executive officer who is also a director. Our Board has reviewed the Company’s current Board leadership structure. In light of the Company’s size, nature of the Company’s business, regulatory framework under which the Company operates, stockholder base, the Company’s peer group and other relevant factors, the Company has determined that this structure is currently the most appropriate Board leadership structure for our company. Nevertheless, the Board intends to carefully evaluate from time to time whether our current structure should be modified based on what the Board believes is best for the Company and our stockholders.

 

Board Role in Risk Oversight

 

Risk is inherent in every business, and how well a business manages risk can ultimately determine its success. We face a number of risks, including strategic risks, enterprise risks, financial risks, and regulatory risks. While our management is responsible for day to day management of various risks we face, the Board, as a whole, is responsible for evaluating our exposure to risk and to satisfy itself that the risk management processes designed and implemented by management are adequate and functioning as designed. The Board reviews and discusses policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management. The Board also has oversight responsibility with respect to the integrity of the Company’s financial reporting process and systems of internal control regarding finance and accounting, as well as its financial statements.

 

Audit Committee

 

The Board does not currently have a standing Audit Committee. The full Board performs the principal functions of the Audit Committee. The full Board monitors our financial reporting process and internal control system and reviews and appraises the audit efforts of our independent accountants.

 

Compensation Committee

 

The Board does not currently have a standing Compensation Committee. The full Board establishes our overall compensation policies and reviews recommendations submitted by our management.

 

Nominating Committee

 

The Board does not currently have a standing Nominating Committee. We do not maintain a policy for considering nominees. Our Bylaws provides that the number of Directors shall be fixed from time to time by the Board, but in no event shall be less than the minimum required by law. The Board of Directors shall be large enough to maintain our required expertise but not too large to function efficiently. Director nominees are recommended, reviewed and approved by the entire Board. The Board believes that this process is appropriate due to the relatively small number of directors on the Board and the opportunity to benefit from a variety of opinions and perspectives in determining director nominees by involving the full Board.

  

Compensation Consultants

 

We have not historically relied upon the advice of compensation consultants in determining Named Executive Officer compensation. Instead, the full Board reviews compensation levels and makes adjustments based on their personal knowledge of competition in the market place, publicly available information and informal surveys of human resource professionals.

 

Stockholder Communications

 

Stockholders who wish to communicate with the Board may do so by addressing their correspondence to the Board at Eco Innovation Group, Inc., Attention: Julia Otey-Raudes, 16525 Sherman Way, Suite C-1 Van Nuys, CA 91406.

COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

 

Our Articles of Incorporation provide that we shall indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law and that none of our directors will be personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability:

 

  ·  for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Company or its Stockholders;

 

  ·  for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law;

 

  ·  under Nevada General Corporation Law for the unlawful payment of dividends; or

 

  ·  for any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit.

 

These provisions require us to indemnify our directors and officers unless restricted by Nevada law and eliminate our rights and those of our stockholders to recover monetary damages from a director for breach of his or her fiduciary duty of care as a director except in the situations described above. The limitations summarized above, however, do not affect our ability or that of our stockholders to seek non-monetary remedies, such as an injunction or rescission, against a director for breach of his or her fiduciary duty.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Shareholders and

Board of Directors of Eco Innovation Group, Inc.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Eco Innovation Group, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Substantial Doubt About the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

 

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s net losses and accumulated deficit raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of these consolidated financial statements. Management’s plans are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements

 

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has restated its 2019 financial statements to correct misstatements.

 

Basis of Opinion

 

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with 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, whether due to fraud or error. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting 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.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2019 AND 2018

 

 

NOTE 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRACTICES

 

Nature of Business

 

Eco Innovation Group, Inc. (the “Company”), was originally incorporated March 5, 2001 as Dig-It Underground, Inc., a Nevada corporation that initially operated as an underground cable contractor. On September 29, 2008, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with Haydin Group Enterprises (“Haydin”), a sole proprietorship, and concurrently resolved to wind down its cable installation business.

 

By virtue of the share exchange agreement, the Company acquired an interest in Haydin’s salon equipment, office equipment, lease assignments for salon locations, reception office equipment, salon stations, and remodeled salon facilities that included upgraded and permitted electrical, plumbing and signage. The Company’s business focused on the operation of a string of high-end beauty salons in the Cedar Hill, Texas area.

 

On September 1, 2011, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with Get Down Art, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company. The consummation of the share exchange provided the Company with original art and agreements with artists with licensing agreements with businesses. The Company acquired art inventory, accounts receivable, office leasing and build out. The Company resolved to unwind its previous acquisition of Haydin Group Enterprises, Inc. dated September 29, 2008.

 

On August 30, 2012, the Company acquired the Haydin Group Enterprises as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company through a share exchange agreement wherein the Company issued fifty million shares of its common stock in exchange for all of the legal right title and interest in the assets of Haydin Group Enterprises. Haydin Group Enterprises owned a chain of high-end beauty salons that focused on skin and hair care and nail care. Haydin also promoted sales of beauty supplies and products and sold to other salons in Texas. The Haydin beauty salons retained highly trained experienced cosmetologists who had a long history with the business. Concurrently, the Company discontinued its business with Get Down Art, LLC and resolved to unwind that acquisition.

 

On January 5, 2016, the Company acquired Expressions Property Limited, LP, a Texas limited partnership and Expressions Chiropractic and Rehab Center, PA in a share exchange agreements. These acquisitions allowed the Company to enter into the natural healing and chiropractic business in Cedar Hill and North Richland Hills, Texas.

 

Effective June 30, 2018, the Company resolved and agreed to spin out Haydin Group Enterprises, Expressions Property Limited, LP and Expressions Chiropractic and Rehab Center, PA as private entities and thereby unwinding the share exchange agreements entered into on August 30, 2012 and January 5, 2016, respectively.

 

On July 1, 2018, the Company approved a reverse split of its common stock in a ratio of 1:1,000; a change of the Company’s name to Eco Innovation Group, Inc.; and the change of the Company’s trading symbol. The reverse split of the Company’s common stock was effective August 29, 2018.

 

On August 19, 2019, the Company incorporated Steel Hemp Homes Inc. in the state of California as a wholly owned subsidiary.

 

On February 12, 2020, Julia Otey-Raudes was appointed as CEO and President of the Company upon John English’s resignation. She also acquired 30,000,000 Preferred Series A shares, representing all of the issued and outstanding preferred stock of the Company.

 

 54 
 

 

On February 20, 2020, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to its articles of incorporation with the Nevada secretary of state, increasing from 100 million to 500 million the Company’s authorized common shares. As a result, the Company is authorized to issue 500,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value shares of common stock. Each share of common stock entitles its holder to one vote on all matters on which common stockholders are entitled to vote, including the election of directors. The Company’s shares of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights. As of November 20, 2020, the date of this filing, the Company had 139,930,680 shares of common stock outstanding.

 

The Company’s plan is to initially develop a revolutionary Power Booster for your home and office that will reduce electric bills and other energy saving related technologies. The Company anticipates joint ventures in the sustainable renewable energy field.

 

Accounting policies and procedures are listed below. The Company has adopted a December 31 year-end.

 

Accounting Basis

 

The Company has prepared the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).

 

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 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Steel Hemp Homes Inc. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less as cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had no cash or cash equivalent balances in excess of the federally insured amounts. The company’s policy is to invest excess funds in only well capitalized financial institutions.

 

Earnings per share

 

Basic EPS is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS includes the potential dilution that could occur if options or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted.

 

The company has not issued any options or warrants or similar securities since inception.

 

Marketable Securities

 

The Company’s investment in marketable securities are classified as trading and are carried at fair value.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates its’ financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. The Company used a Black Scholes valuation model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

 

 

 55 
 

Fair Value Measurements

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

 

  · Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets; 

 

  · Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and 

 

  · Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. 

 

The estimated fair values for financial instruments are determined at discrete points in time based on relevant market information.  These estimates involve uncertainties and cannot be determined with precision.   We measure our investment in marketable securities at fair value on a recurring basis.  The Company’s trading securities are valued using inputs observable in active markets and are therefore classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Investments and derivative liabilities are valued on a recurring basis.

 

The following summarizes the fair value of assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis:

 

      December 31, 2018
      Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total
Assets                
  Investments    $ 397,933    $    -       $     -       $ 397,933
                   
Liabilities                
  Derivative liability              -             -              -                 -   
      December 31, 2019
      Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total
Assets                
  Investments    $         -       $    -       $     -       $         -   
                   
Liabilities                
  Derivative liability              -             -        60,658        60,658

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

Stock-based compensation is computed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718. FASB ASC 718 requires all share-based payments to employees and non-employees be recognized as compensation expense in the consolidated financial statements based on their fair values.  The expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).  As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company has not formed a Stock Option Plan and has not issued any options.

 

Fixed Assets

 

Fixed assets are carried at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method of depreciation over the assets’ estimated useful lives. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred; major renewals and improvements are capitalized. When items of fixed assets are sold or retired, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in income.

 

 56 
 

Income Taxes

 

The provision for income taxes is the total of the current taxes payable and the net of the change in the deferred income taxes. Provision is made for the deferred income taxes where differences exist between the period in which transactions affect current taxable income and the period in which they enter into the determination of net income in the financial statements.

 

Advertising

 

Advertising is expensed when incurred.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Accounting Standards Codification. The updated guidance states that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also provides for additional disclosures with respect to revenues and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The standard will be effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and the Company adopted the standard using the modified retrospective approach effective January 1, 2018.

 

At the time of each transaction, management assesses whether the fee associated with the transaction is fixed or determinable and whether or not collection is reasonably assured. The assessment of whether the fee is fixed or determinable is based upon the payment terms of the transaction. Collectability is assessed based on a number of factors, including past transaction history with the client and the creditworthiness of the client.

 

The Company had no revenues during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

 

NOTE 2. RESTATEMENT

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company determined that it had incorrectly recognized a beneficial conversion feature related to the conversion option embedded within the convertible note payable issued in December 2019 that is accounted as a derivative liability. This resulted in adjustments to the previously reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and for the year then ended. The table below summarizes the impact of the affected periods:

NOTE 3. GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S LIQUIDITY PLANS

 

The accompanying consolidated 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 accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company had net losses during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2019 and an accumulated deficit at December 31, 2019. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements. Management’s plans are to obtain additional financing in the debt and equity markets while its develops its business model. The Company’s existence is dependent upon management’s ability to develop profitable operations and to obtain additional funding sources. There can be no assurance that the Company’s financing efforts will result in profitable operations or the resolution of the Company’s liquidity problems. The accompanying statements do not include any adjustments that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

NOTE 4. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

 

Management does not believe that any recently issued but not yet adopted accounting will have a material effect on the Company’s results of operation or on the reported amounted of its assets and liabilities upon adoption.

 

NOTE 5. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

 

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of net operating loss and credit carry forwards and temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their respective financial reporting amounts measured at the current enacted tax rates. The Company records an estimated valuation allowance on its deferred income tax assets if it is not more likely than not that these deferred income tax assets will be realized.

 

The Company recognizes a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. As of December 31, 2019, and 2018, the Company has not recorded any unrecognized tax benefits.

 

The components of the Company’s net deferred tax assets at December 31 are as follows:

 

   December 31,
   2019  2018
Net operating loss carryforward  $441,000   $331,000 
Unrealized investment losses   —      52,000 
Deferred tax assets   441,000    383,000 
Valuation allowance   (441,000)   (383,000)
   $—     $—   

 

At December 31, 2019 the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $2,100,000 for federal and state purposes.

 

The reconciliation of the federal income tax rate and the Company’s tax provision (benefit) is as follows:

 

   Year Ended
   December 31,
   2019  2018
Provision (benefit) computed using the statutory rate  $(110,000)  $(153,000)
Temporary differences   52,000    (52,000)
Change in valuation allowance   58,000    205,000 
   $—     $—

NOTE 7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

On March 1, 2016, the Company executed two convertible notes of $4,901.96 each with former executives of the Company. These notes are each convertible into 50,000,000 shares of common stock. These notes are non-interest bearing. On October 14, 2019, one of these notes converted into common stock.

 

On December 2, 2019, the Company issued a convertible promissory note to holder Pinnacle Consulting Services Inc. in the principal amount of $40,000, which matured and entered default on June 9, 2020. This note bears interest at 5% per annum and is convertible in whole or in part at the option of the holder into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock as is determined by dividing that portion of the outstanding principal balance under the note by a conversion price defined as a 35% discount of the lowest reported sale price of the Company’s common stock for the 15 trading days immediately prior to the date of conversion. On November 16, 2020, the Company and Pinnacle entered into an amendment to this note, extending the maturity date to April 1, 2021, and adding an ownership limitation whereby the holder is unable to effect any conversion under the note if the holder owns greater than 4.99% of the Company outstanding capital stock. As a result of this amendment to the convertible promissory note, the note is no longer in default.

 

In May 2016, a consultant was awarded the right to receive 100,000,000 shares of common stock. In May 2018, this right was assigned to Heritage Funding, Inc. and John English equally in exchange for $9,9038 to be paid by the Company. The promissory note was convertible into 100,000,000 shares of common stock at a fixed price of $0.0009. In October 2019, Heritage Funding entered into a private transaction to sell the right to 45,000,000 of its 50,000,000 shares to Blue Ridge Enterprises. Also, in October 2019, Blue Ridge Enterprises and Heritage Funding converted principal into 45,000,000 and 5,000,000 shares of common stock, respectively. In May 2020, Robert L. Hymers III (“Hymers”) purchased half of the remaining convertible promissory note and its related conversion rights from John English in a private transaction. In May 2020, John English converted principal of $2,451 into 25,000,000 shares of common stock. The remaining principal balance owed to Hymers of $2,451 was convertible into 25,000,000 shares of stock at September 30, 2020. On November 16, 2020, the Company and Hymers entered into a debt exchange agreement (the “Debt Exchange Agreement”) whereby the remaining principal balance owed to Hymers of $2,451 has been exchanged for a convertible promissory note with a principal amount of $2,451, a maturity date of November 15, 2021, bearing interest at the rate of 12% per annum and convertible into 25 million shares of the Company’s common stock. Pursuant to the terms of this convertible promissory note, certain conversion limitations apply to the holder’s conversion option, with the effect that the holder shall not be allowed to effect a conversion if such conversion would result in the holder’s aggregate total ownership of the Company’s common stock exceeding 4.99% of the Company’s then-outstanding shares of common stock.

 

On May 12, 2020, the Company executed a convertible note with Pinnacle Consulting Services Inc. for $12,500 due on May 12, 2021. This note bears interest at 10% per annum and is convertible (in whole or in part), at the option of the Holder, into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock as is determined by dividing that portion of the outstanding principal balance under this Note by the Conversion Price, which is fixed at $0.0025 per share. The Company recognized a beneficial conversion feature of $12,500 as debt discount related to this convertible note based on the intrinsic value of the conversion feature at the time of issuance. Pursuant to the terms of this convertible promissory note, certain conversion limitations apply to the holder’s conversion option, with the effect that the holder shall not be allowed to effect a conversion if such conversion would result in the holder’s aggregate total ownership of the Company’s common stock exceeding 4.99% of the Company’s then-outstanding shares of common stock.

 

On June 30, 2020, the Company executed a convertible note with Pinnacle Consulting Services Inc. for $21,000 due on June 30, 2021. This note bears interest at 10% per annum and is convertible (in whole or in part), at the option of the Holder, into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock as is determined by dividing that portion of the outstanding principal balance under this Note by the Conversion Price, which is a 35% discount of the lowest reported sale price of the common stock for the 15 trading days immediately prior to the date of conversion. Pursuant to the terms of this convertible promissory note, certain conversion limitations apply to the holder’s conversion option, with the effect that the holder shall not be allowed to effect a conversion if such conversion would result in the holder’s aggregate total ownership of the Company’s common stock exceeding 4.99% of the Company’s then-outstanding shares of common stock.

 

On June 29, 2020, we sold 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.005 per share to Pinnacle Consulting Services, Inc. in exchange for a cash payment of $20,000, received on August 14, 2020.

NOTE 8. CONVERTIBLE NOTES

 

On December 2, 2019, the Company issued a convertible promissory note to holder Pinnacle Consulting Services Inc. in the principal amount of $40,000, which matured and entered default on June 9, 2020. This note bears interest at 5% per annum and is convertible in whole or in part at the option of the holder into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock as is determined by dividing that portion of the outstanding principal balance under the note by a conversion price defined as a 35% discount of the lowest reported sale price of the Company’s common stock for the 15 trading days immediately prior to the date of conversion. On November 16, 2020, the Company and Pinnacle entered into an amendment to this note, extending the maturity date to April 1, 2021, and adding an ownership limitation whereby the holder is unable to effect any conversion under the note if the holder owns greater than 4.99% of the Company outstanding capital stock. As a result of this amendment to the convertible promissory note, the note is no longer in default.

 

The Company determined that the conversion option in the note met the definition of a liability in accordance with ASC Topic No. 815 - 40, Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Stock. The Company bifurcated the embedded conversion option in the note once the note becomes convertible and account for it as a derivative liability.

 

The Company valued the conversion features using the Black Scholes valuation model. The fair value of the derivative liability amounted to $61,073 upon inception, with $40,000 recognized as a debt discount, and $21,073 as derivative expense.

Notes to Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Amounts Expressed in United States Dollars, Except Where Stated Otherwise)

 

NOTE 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRACTICES

 

Nature of Business

 

Eco Innovation Group, Inc. (the “Company”), was originally incorporated March 5, 2001 as Dig-It Underground, Inc., a Nevada corporation that initially operated as an underground cable contractor. On September 29, 2008, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with Haydin Group Enterprises, a sole proprietorship, and concurrently resolved to wind down its cable installation business.

 

By virtue of the share exchange agreement, the Company acquired an interest in Haydin’s salon equipment, office equipment, lease assignments for salon locations, reception office equipment, salon stations, and remodeled salon facilities that included upgraded and permitted electrical, plumbing and signage. The Company’s business focused on the operation of a string of high-end beauty salons in the Cedar Hill, Texas area.

 

On September 1, 2011, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with Get Down Art, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company. The consummation of the share exchange provided the Company with original art and agreements with artists with licensing agreements with businesses. The Company acquired art inventory, accounts receivable, office leasing and build out. The Company resolved to unwind its previous acquisition of Haydin Group Enterprises, Inc., dated September 29, 2008.

 

On August 30, 2012, the Company acquired the Haydin Group Enterprises as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company through a share exchange agreement wherein the Company issued f if ty million shares of its common stock in exchange for all of the legal right title and interest in the assets of Haydin Group Enterprises. Haydin Group Enterprises owned a chain of high-end beauty salons that focused on skin and hair care and nail care. Haydin also promoted sales of beauty supplies and products and sold to other salons in Texas. The Haydin beauty salons retained highly trained experienced cosmetologists who had a long history with the business. Concurrently, the Company discontinued its business with Get Down Art, LLC and resolved to unwind that acquisition.

 

On January 5, 2016, the Company acquired Expressions Property Limited, LP, a Texas limited partnership and Expressions Chiropractic and Rehab Center, PA pursuant to share exchange agreements. These acquisitions allowed the Company to enter the natural healing and chiropractic business in Cedar Hill and North Richland Hills, Texas.

 

Effective June 30, 2018, the Company resolved and agreed to spin out Haydin Group Enterprises, Expressions Property Limited, LP and Expressions Chiropractic and Rehab Center, PA as private entities and thereby unwinding the share exchange agreements entered into on August 30, 2012 and January 5, 2016, respectively.

 

On July 1, 2018, the Company approved a reverse split of its common stock in a ratio of 1:1,000; a change of the Company’s name to Eco Innovation Group, Inc.; and the change of the Company’s trading symbol. The reverse split of the Company’s common stock was effective August 29, 2018. The Company was an innovation incubator platform from 2018 until early 2020 that focusing on developing a more af fordable, fire, hurricane and earthquake resilient steel framing system.

 

On August 19, 2019, the Company incorporated Steel Hemp Homes Inc. in the state of California as a wholly owned subsidiary.

 

 69 
 

 

 

On February 20, 2020, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to its articles of incorporation with the Nevada secretary of state, increasing from 100 million to 500 million the Company’s authorized common shares. As a result, the Company is authorized to issue 500,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value shares of common stock. Each share of common stock entitles its holder to one vote on all matters on which common stockholders are entitled to vote, including the election of directors. The Company’s shares of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights. As of November 20, 2020, the date of this filing, the Company had 139,930,680 shares of common stock outstanding.

 

On February 12, 2020, Julie Otey-Raudes was appointed as CEO and President of the Company upon John English’s resignation. She also acquired 30,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, which represent all of the outstanding preferred stock of the Company.

The Company’s plan is to initially develop a revolutionary Power Booster for your home and office that will reduce electric bills and other energy saving related technologies. The Company anticipates Joint Ventures in the sustainable renewable energy field.

Accounting policies and procedures are listed below. The Company has adopted a December 31 year-end.

Accounting Basis

 

The Company has prepared the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).

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 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its’ wholly owned subsidiary, Steel Hemp Homes Inc. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less as cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the Company had cash or cash equivalent balances in excess of federally insured amounts. The Company’s policy is to invest excess funds in only well capitalized financial institutions.

Earnings per share

 

Basic EPS is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS includes the potential dilution that could occur if options or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted.

The Company has not issued any options or warrants or similar securities since inception.

Marketable Securities

 

The Company’s investment in marketable securities are classified as trading and are carried at fair value.

 

 70 
 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates its’ financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the f air value reported in the statements of operations. The Company used a Black Scholes valuation model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 establishes a three-tier f air value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;
Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and
Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

 

The estimated fair values for financial instruments are determined at discrete points in time based on relevant market information. These estimates involve uncertainties and cannot be determined with precision. We measure our investment in marketable securities at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company’s trading securities are valued using inputs observable in active markets and are therefore classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Investments and derivative liabilities are valued on a recurring basis.

The following summarizes the fair value of assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis:

 Liabilities                                
Derivative liability   $ —       $ —       $ 60,658     $ 60,658  

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

Stock-based compensation is computed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718. FASB ASC 718 requires all share-based payments to employees and non-employees be recognized as compensation expense in the consolidated financial statements based on their f air values. The expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). As of September 30, 2020, and 2019, the Company has not formed a Stock Option Plan and has not issued any options.

Fixed Assets

 

Fixed assets are carried at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method of depreciation over the assets’ estimated useful lives. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred; major renewals and improvements are capitalized. When items of fixed assets are sold or retired, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in income.

Income Taxes

 

The provision for income taxes is the total of the current taxes payable and the net of the change in the deferred income taxes. Provision is made for the deferred income taxes where differences exist between the period in which transactions affect current taxable income and the period in which they enter into the determination of net income in the financial statements.

Advertising

 

Advertising is expensed when incurred.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 2014- 09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Accounting Standards Codification. The updated guidance states that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also provides for additional disclosures with respect to revenues and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The standard will be effective f or the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and the Company adopted the standard using the modified retrospective approach effective January 1, 2018.

At the time of each transaction, management assesses whether the fee associated with the transaction is fixed or determinable, and whether or not collection is reasonably assured. The assessment of whether the fee is fixed or determinable is based upon the payment terms of the transaction. Collectability is assessed based on a number of factors, including past transaction history with the client and the creditworthiness of the client.

On August 25, 2020, the Company signed a Master Outsourcing Contract Manufacturing Agreement with Eco-Gen Energy, Inc., pursuant to which the Company, as Manufacturer, will produce products for Eco-Gen, as Buyer. The Master Outsourcing Contract Manufacturing Agreement with Eco-Gen is a related party transaction insofar as our CEO and controlling stockholder, Julia Otey-Raudes, is a director and shareholder of Eco-Gen.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recognized $100,000 of revenue related to cash payments received on September 14, 2020 from Eco-Gen Energy, Inc. as non-refundable service income under the Company’s manufacturing agreement with Eco-Gen Energy, Inc.

NOTE 2. GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S LIQUIDITY PLANS

 

The accompanying consolidated 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 accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company had net losses during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and an accumulated deficit at September 30, 2020. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements. Management’s plans are to obtain additional financing in the debt and equity markets while it develops its business model. The Company’s existence is dependent upon management’s ability to develop profitable operations and to obtain additional funding sources. There can be no assurance that the Company’s financing efforts will result in profitable operations or the resolution of the Company’s liquidity problems. The accompanying statements do not include any adjustments that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

NOTE 3. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

 

Management does not believe that any recently issued but not yet adopted accounting will have a material effect on the Company’s results of operation or on the reported amounted of its assets and liabilities upon adoption. 

NOTE 4. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

 

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of net operating loss and credit carry forwards and temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their respective financial reporting amounts measured at the current enacted tax rates. The Company records an estimated valuation allowance on its deferred income tax assets if it is not more likely than not that these deferred income tax assets will be realized.

 

The Company recognizes a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. As of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the Company has not recorded any unrecognized tax benefits.

 

NOTE 5. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (DEFICIT)

 

Preferred Stock

 

On August 6, 2020, the Company amended its articles of incorporation with an effective date of July 23, 2020, to create a new class of preferred stock, designated the “Series B Convertible Pre erred Stock” and to rename the existing preferred stock as the “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock”. As a result, the Company has two classes of shares of preferred stock, designated “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock” and “Series B Convertible Preferred Stock”. The Company has designated 49,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, of which 30,000,000 shares have been issued and are outstanding. Holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock hold rights to vote on all matter requiring a Stockholder vote at 100 common shares vote equivalent for each share of Series A Convertible Pref erred Stock held. As of the date of this filing, our CEO, CFO, board chair and sole director, Julia Otey-Raudes, is the sole holder of the 30,000,000 Series A Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding. As of the filing date of this Prospectus, there are no shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock issued or outstanding.

NOTE 6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

On March 1, 2016, the Company executed two convertible notes of $4,902 each with former executives of the Company. These notes are each convertible into 50,000,000 shares of common stock. These notes are non-interest bearing. On October 14, 2019, one of these notes converted into common stock.

 

On December 2, 2019, the Company issued a convertible promissory note to holder Pinnacle Consulting Services Inc. in the principal amount of $40,000, which matured and entered default on June 9, 2020. This note bears interest at 5% per annum and is convertible in whole or in part at the option of the holder into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock as is determined by dividing that portion of the outstanding principal balance under the note by a conversion price defined as a 35% discount of the lowest reported sale price of the Company’s common stock for the 15 trading days immediately prior to the date of conversion. On November 16, 2020, the Company and Pinnacle entered into an amendment to this note, extending the maturity date to April 1, 2021, and adding an ownership limitation whereby the holder is unable to effect any conversion under the note if the holder owns greater than 4.99% of the Company outstanding capital stock. As a result of this amendment to the convertible promissory note, the note is no longer in default.

 

In May 2016, a consultant was awarded the right to receive 100,000,000 shares of common stock. In May 2018, this right was assigned to Heritage Funding, Inc. and John English equally in exchange for $9,9038 to be paid by the Company. The promissory note was convertible into 100,000,000 shares of common stock at a fixed price of $0.0009. In October 2019, Heritage Funding entered into a private transaction to sell the right to 45,000,000 of its 50,000,000 shares to Blue Ridge Enterprises.

Hymers III (“Hymers”) purchased half of the remaining convertible promissory note and its related conversion rights from John English in a private transaction. In May 2020, John English converted principal of $2,451 into 25,000,000 shares of common stock. The remaining principal balance owed to Hymers of $2,451 was convertible into 25,000,000 shares of stock at September 30, 2020. On November 16, 2020, the Company and Hymers entered into a debt exchange agreement (the “Debt Exchange Agreement”) whereby the remaining principal balance owed to Hymers of $2,451 has been exchanged for a convertible promissory note with a principal amount of $2,451, a maturity date of November 15, 2021, bearing interest at the rate of 12% per annum and convertible into 25 million shares of the Company’s common stock. Pursuant to the terms of this convertible promissory note, certain conversion limitations apply to the holder’s conversion option, with the effect that the holder shall not be allowed to effect a conversion if such conversion would result in the holder’s aggregate total ownership of the Company’s common stock exceeding 4.99% of the Company’s then-outstanding shares of common stock.

 

On May 12, 2020, the Company executed a convertible note with Pinnacle Consulting Services Inc. for $12,500 due on May 12, 2021. This note bears interest at 10% per annum and is convertible (in whole or in part), at the option of the Holder, into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock as is determined by dividing that portion of the outstanding principal balance under this Note by the Conversion Price, which is fixed at $0.0025 per share. The Company recognized a beneficial conversion feature of $12,500 as debt discount related to this convertible note based on the intrinsic value of the conversion feature at the time of issuance. Pursuant to the terms of this convertible promissory note, certain conversion limitations apply to the holder’s conversion option, with the effect that the holder shall not be allowed to effect a conversion if such conversion would result in the holder’s aggregate total ownership of the Company’s common stock exceeding 4.99% of the Company’s then-outstanding shares of common stock.

 

On June 30, 2020, the Company executed a convertible note with Pinnacle Consulting Services Inc. for $21,000 due on June 30, 2021. This note bears interest at 10% per annum and is convertible (in whole or in part), at the option of the Holder, into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock as is determined by dividing that portion of the outstanding principal balance under this Note by the Conversion Price, which is a 35% discount of the lowest reported sale price of the common stock for the 15 trading days immediately prior to the date of conversion. Pursuant to the terms of this convertible promissory note, certain conversion limitations apply to the holder’s conversion option, with the effect that the holder shall not be allowed to effect a conversion if such conversion would result in the holder’s aggregate total ownership of the Company’s common stock exceeding 4.99% of the Company’s then-outstanding shares of common stock.

 

On August 25, 2020, the Company signed a Master Outsourcing Contract Manufacturing Agreement with Eco-Gen Energy, Inc.

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

 

Our Articles of Incorporation provide that we shall indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law and that none of our directors will be personally liable to the Company or its Stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability:

 

  · for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Company or its Stockholders;
     
  · for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law;

These provisions require us to indemnify our directors and officers unless restricted by Nevada law and eliminate our rights and those of our stockholders to recover monetary damages from a director for breach of his or her fiduciary duty of care as a director except in the situations described above. The limitations summarized above, however, do not affect our ability or that of our stockholders to seek non-monetary remedies, such as an injunction or rescission, against a director for breach of his or her fiduciary duty.

 

To the extent that our directors and officers are indemnified under the provisions contained in our bylaws, Nevada law or contractual arrangements against liabilities arising under the Securities Act, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

(2.)       That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof;

 

(3.)        To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering; and

 

(4.)        That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

 

 II-5 
 

(5.)       That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a Direct Public Offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

(i.)        Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

 

(ii.)       Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

 

(iii.)      The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

 

(iv.)      Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

EX-4.4 2 ex4x4.htm AMENDMENT TO CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE DATED NOVEMBER 16, 2020

Exhibit 4.4

 

 

AMENDMENT TO

CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

 

This Amendment to Convertible Promissory Note (this “Agreement”), dated and effective November 16, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), amends that certain Convertible Promissory Note in the original principal amount of $40,000 made and entered into by and between the parties hereto effective as of December 2, 2019 (the “Note”, a copy of which has been filed as an exhibit to the Holder’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission), by and between Eco Innovation Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Company”) and Pinnacle Consulting Services Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Holder”). Certain capitalized terms used below but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Note.

 

WHEREAS, the Company and the Holder desire to amend the Note to extend the Maturity Date of the Note and add conversion limitations to the Note on the terms and conditions set forth below.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants, agreements, and considerations herein contained, and other good and valuable consideration, which consideration the parties hereby acknowledge and confirm the receipt and sufficiency thereof, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.                  Amendment to Note.

 

(a) Effective as of the Effective Date, the definition of “Maturity Date” in the introductory paragraph of the Note shall be amended from “6 months from the Issuance Date” to “April 1, 2020” (the “Maturity Extension”).

 

(b) Effective as of the Effective Date, the following Section 3.9 is added to the Note:

 

“Section 3.9 Ownership Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, if at any time Holder shall or would be issued shares of Common Stock in whole or partial conversion of this Note, and such issuance, along with all other shares of Company Common Stock beneficially owned by Holder (together with its affiliates) would exceed 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date (including for such purpose the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such issuance) (the “Maximum Percentage”), then Company shall not issue to Holder shares of Common Stock which would exceed the Maximum Percentage. Holder agrees, upon request, to provide Company with the number of shares of Common Stock it owns at the time of any proposed conversion hereunder. For purposes of this section, beneficial ownership of Common Stock will be determined pursuant to Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act. The shares of Common Stock issuable to Holder that would cause the Maximum Percentage to be exceeded are referred to herein as the “Ownership Limitation Shares”. Company will reserve the Ownership Limitation Shares for the exclusive benefit of Holder. Holder shall notify Company in writing of the number of the Ownership Limitation Shares that may be issued to Holder without causing Holder to exceed the Maximum Percentage. Upon receipt of such notice, Company shall be unconditionally obligated to immediately issue such designated shares to Holder, with a corresponding reduction in the number of the Ownership Limitation Shares. Upon notice to Company from Holder the term “4.99%” above shall be replaced with “9.99%”. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, if the term “4.99%” is replaced with “9.99%” pursuant to the preceding sentence, such increase to “9.99%” shall remain at 9.99% until increased, decreased or waived by Holder as set forth below. By written notice to Company, Holder may increase, decrease or waive the Maximum Percentage as to itself but any such waiver will not be effective until the 61st day after delivery thereof. The foregoing 61-day notice requirement is enforceable, unconditional and non-waivable and shall apply to all affiliates and assigns of Holder.”

 

 
 

 

 

2.                  Confirmations.

 

(a) Holder agrees and confirms that the Note shall be due and payable on April 1, 2020, as a result of the Maturity Extension described herein.

This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such party enforceable against such party in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general equitable principles;

 

(b) The execution and delivery by such party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not and shall not, by the lapse of time, the giving of notice or otherwise: (i) constitute a violation of any law; or (ii) constitute a breach of any provision contained in, or a default under, any governmental approval, any writ, injunction, order, judgment or decree of any governmental authority or any contract to which such party is bound or affected; and

 

(c) Any individual executing this Agreement on behalf of an entity has authority to act on behalf of such entity and has been duly and properly authorized to sign this Agreement on behalf of such entity.

6.                  Effect of Agreement. Upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, each reference in the Note, and/or any other documents, agreements or understandings entered into in connection therewith (collectively, “Ancillary Agreements”), to “Amended Promissory Note”, “Promissory Note”, “Note”, “Agreement,” “hereunder,” “hereof,” “herein” or words of like import shall mean and be a reference to such Note as modified or amended hereby.

Any such counterpart, to the extent delivered by means of a facsimile machine or by .pdf, .tif, .gif, ..jpeg or similar attachment to electronic mail (any such delivery, an “Electronic Delivery”) shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original executed counterpart and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. No party shall raise the use of Electronic Delivery to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of Electronic Delivery as a defense to the formation of a contract, and each such party forever waives any such defense, except to the extent such defense relates to lack of authenticity.

    

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed and delivered as of the date set forth on the first page hereof to be effective as of the Effective Date.

ARTICLE III

CONVERSION; ANTIDILUTION; CONVERSION LIMITATIONS PREPAYMENT

 

Section 3.1 Conversion and Fixed Conversion Price.  At any time, at the option of the Holder, the Principal Amount of this Convertible Note, may be converted into shares of the Company's common stock, $0.001 par value (the "Common Stock"), at the Holder’s discretion. The number of shares of Common Stock that this Convertible Note or any portion hereof shall be converted into is based upon the conversion price of $0.000098 per share, corresponding to the original conversion rights of the Debt (as defined in the Debt Exchange Agreement of even date herewith) (the “Conversion Price”) and shall be determined by dividing the outstanding Principal Amount, or any partial amount thereto, of the Convertible Note being converted, by the Conversion Price (the "Conversion Shares"). Any request by Holder to convert must be accompanied by a written notice in the form attached hereto that the Holder hereof elects to convert this Convertible Note, or a specified portion hereof, which notice shall also state the name or names (with address or addresses) in such Common Stock shall be issued.  No fractional shares will be issued upon any such conversion, but the Company shall make adjustment therefor in cash, or by rounding to the nearest whole share. In the event of conversion of this Convertible Note in part only, a new Convertible Note or Convertible Notes for the unconverted portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder upon the cancellation of this Convertible Note.

 

Section 3.2 Stock Splits. The Fixed Conversion Price shall be protected against all and any stock splits and shall adjusted in the event of any such stock split.

 

Section 3.3 Conversion Limitations. In no event shall the Holder be allowed to effect any conversion of this Note if the issuable Conversion Shares of such conversion, along with all other shares of Company Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates, would exceed 4.99% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock of the Company (which may be increased up to 9.9% upon 61 days prior written notice by the Investor).

 

Section 3.4 Mechanics of Conversion.

 

(a) Not later than three (3) Trading Days after any Conversion Date, the Company or its designated transfer agent, as applicable, shall issue and deliver to the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) account on the Holder’s behalf via the Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission System (“DWAC”) as specified in the Conversion Notice, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled. In the alternative, not later than three (3) Trading Days after any Conversion Date, the Company shall deliver to the applicable Holder by express courier a certificate or certificates which shall be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the conversion of this Note (the “Delivery Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the Company or its transfer agent shall only be obligated to issue and deliver the shares to the DTC on the Holder’s behalf via DWAC (or certificates free of restrictive legends) if such conversion is in connection with a sale and the Holder has complied with the applicable prospectus delivery requirements. If in the case of any Conversion Notice such certificate or certificates are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled by written notice to the Company at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates thereafter, to rescind such conversion, in which event the Company shall immediately return this Note if tendered for conversion, whereupon the Company and the Holder shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to the delivery of such notice of revocation, except that any amounts described in Sections 3.3(b) and (c) shall be payable through the date notice of rescission is given to the Company.

 

 
 

 

 

(b) The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note beyond the Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Holder. If the Company fails to deliver to the Holder such shares via DWAC or a certificate or certificates pursuant to this Section hereunder by the Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to such Holder, in cash, an amount per Trading Day for each Trading Day until such shares are delivered via DWAC or certificates are delivered, together with interest on such amount at a rate of 10% per annum, accruing until such amount and any accrued interest thereon is paid in full, equal to the greater of (A) (i) 1% of the aggregate principal amount of the Note requested to be converted for the first five (5) Trading Days after the Delivery Date and (ii) 2% of the aggregate principal amount of the Note requested to be converted for each Trading Day thereafter and (B) $2,000 per day (which amount shall be paid as liquidated damages and not as a penalty). Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for the Company’s failure to deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion within the period specified herein and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity (including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Holder shall be entitled to withdraw a Conversion Notice, and upon such withdrawal the Company shall only be obligated to pay the liquidated damages accrued in accordance with this Section 3.3(b) through the date the Conversion Notice is withdrawn.

 

Section 3.5 Adjustment of Conversion Price.

 

(a) The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

 

(i) Adjustments for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, effect a stock split of the outstanding Common Stock, the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the stock split shall be proportionately decreased. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the combination shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustments under shall be effective at the close of business on the date the stock split or combination occurs.

 

(ii) Adjustments for Certain Dividends and Distributions. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, make or issue or set a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, then, and in each event, the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such event shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying, the applicable Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction:

 

(1) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date; and

 

(2) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution.

 

 
 

 

 

(iii) Adjustment for Other Dividends and Distributions. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, make or issue or set a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in other than shares of Common Stock, then, and in each event, an appropriate revision to the applicable Conversion Price shall be made and provision shall be made (by adjustments of the Conversion Price or otherwise) so that the holders of this Note shall receive upon conversions thereof, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereon, the number of securities of the Company which they would have received had this Note been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event and had thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the Conversion Date, retained such securities (together with any distributions payable thereon during such period), giving application to all adjustments called for during such period under this Section with respect to the rights of the holders of this Note; provided, however, that if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions.

 

(iv) Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution. If the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date shall be changed to the same or different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by reclassification, exchange, substitution or otherwise (other than by way of a stock split or combination of shares or stock dividends, then, and in each event, an appropriate revision to the Conversion Price shall be made and provisions shall be made (by adjustments of the Conversion Price or otherwise) so that the Holder shall have the right thereafter to convert this Note into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities receivable upon reclassification, exchange, substitution or other change, by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Note might have been converted immediately prior to such reclassification, exchange, substitution or other change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.

 

(v) Adjustments for Reorganization, Merger, Consolidation or Sales of Assets. If at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date there shall be a capital reorganization of the or a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation where the holders of outstanding voting securities prior to such merger or consolidation do not own over fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting securities of the merged or consolidated entity, immediately after such of the Company’s properties or assets to any other person (an “Organic Change”), then as a part of such Organic Change an appropriate revision to the Conversion Price shall be made and provision shall be made (by adjustments of the Conversion Price or otherwise) so that the Holder shall have the right thereafter to convert such Note into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities or property of the Company or any successor corporation resulting from Organic Change.

 

(vi) Issuance of Common Stock Equivalents. If the Company, at any time after the Issuance Date, shall issue any securities convertible into or exchangeable for, directly or indirectly, Common Stock (“Convertible Securities”), other than the Note, or any rights or warrants or options to purchase any such Common Stock or Convertible Securities, shall be issued or sold (collectively, the “Common Stock Equivalents”) and the aggregate of the price per share for which Additional Shares of Common Stock may be issuable thereafter pursuant to such Common Stock Equivalent, plus the consideration received by the Company for issuance of such Common Stock Equivalent divided by the number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such Common Stock Equivalent (the “Aggregate Per Common Share Price”) shall be less than the applicable Conversion Price then in effect, or if, after any such issuance of Common Stock Equivalents, the price per share for which Additional Shares of Common Stock may be issuable thereafter is amended or adjusted, and such price as so amended shall make the Aggregate Per Share Common Price be less than the applicable Conversion Price in effect at the time of such amendment or adjustment, then the applicable Conversion Price upon each such issuance or amendment shall be adjusted on the basis that (1) the maximum number of Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to all such Common Stock Equivalents shall be deemed to have been issued (whether or not such Common Stock Equivalents are actually then exercisable, convertible or exchangeable in whole or in part) as of the earlier of (A) the date on which the Company shall enter into a firm contract for the issuance of such Common Stock Equivalent, or (B) the date of actual issuance of such Common Stock Equivalent. No adjustment of the applicable Conversion Price shall be made under this subsection (vii) upon the issuance of any Convertible Security which is issued pursuant to the exercise of any warrants or other subscription or purchase rights therefor, if any adjustment shall previously have been made to the exercise price of such warrants then in effect upon the issuance of such warrants or other rights pursuant to this subsection (vii). No adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Price upon the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise, conversion or exchange of any Convertible Security or Common Stock Equivalent where an adjustment to the Conversion Price was made as a result of the issuance or purchase of any Convertible Security or Common Stock Equivalent.

 

 
 

 

 

(vii) Consideration for Stock. In case any shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents shall be issued or sold:

 

(1) in connection with any merger or consolidation in which the Company is the surviving corporation (other than any consolidation or merger in which the previously outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be changed to or exchanged for the stock or other securities of another corporation), the amount of consideration therefor shall be, deemed to be the fair value, as determined reasonably and in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, of such portion of the assets and business of the nonsurviving corporation as such Board may determine to be attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Convertible Securities, rights or warrants or options, as the case may be; or

 

(2) in the event of any consolidation or merger of the Company in which the Company is not the surviving corporation or in which the previously outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be changed into or exchanged for the stock or other securities of another corporation, or in the event of any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company for stock or other securities of any corporation, the Company shall be deemed to have issued a number of shares of its Common Stock for stock or securities or other property of the other corporation computed on the basis of the actual exchange ratio on which the transaction was predicated, and for a consideration equal to the fair market value on the date of such transaction of all such stock or securities or other property of the other corporation. If any such calculation results in adjustment of the applicable Conversion Price, or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note, the determination of the applicable Conversion Price or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or sale, shall be made after giving effect to such adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note. In the event Common Stock is issued with other shares or securities or other assets of the Company for consideration which covers both, the consideration computed as provided in this Section 3.5(viii) shall be allocated among such securities and assets as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.

 

(b) Record Date. In case the Company shall take record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock or Convertible Securities, then the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to be such record date.

 

(c) Certain Issues Excepted. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be required to make any adjustment to the Conversion Price in connection with (i) securities issued (other than for cash) in connection with a merger, acquisition, or consolidation, (ii) securities issued pursuant to a bona fide firm underwritten public offering of the Company’s securities, (iii) securities issued pursuant to the conversion or exercise of convertible or excercisable securities issued or outstanding on or prior to the date hereof or issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, (iv) the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Warrants, (v) securities issued in connection with strategic license agreements or other partnering arrangements so long as such issuances are not for the purpose of raising capital, (vi) Common Stock issued or options to purchase Common Stock granted or issued pursuant to the Company’s stock option plans and employee stock purchase plans as they now exist and (vii) the payment of any accrued interest in shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Note.

 

 
 

 

 

(d) No Impairment. The Company shall not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith, assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this agreement and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the Conversion Rights of the Holder against impairment. In the event a Holder shall elect to convert any Note as provided herein, the Company cannot refuse conversion based on any claim that such Holder or any one associated or affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, violation of an agreement to which such Holder is a party or for any reason whatsoever, unless, an injunction from a court, or notice, restraining and or adjoining conversion of all or of said Note shall have issued and the Company posts a surety bond for the benefit of such Holder in an amount equal to one hundred thirty percent (130%) of the amount of the Note the Holder has elected to convert, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder in the event it obtains judgment.

 

(e) Certificates as to Adjustments. Upon occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price or number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note pursuant to this Section 3.5, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to the Holder a certificate setting forth such adjustment and readjustment, showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall, upon written request of the Holder, at any time, furnish or cause to be furnished to the Holder a like certificate setting forth such adjustments and readjustments, the applicable Conversion Price in effect at the time, and the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of this Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to deliver a certificate unless such certificate would reflect an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) of such adjusted amount.

 

(f) Issue Taxes. The Company shall pay any and all issue and other taxes, excluding federal, state or local income taxes, that may be payable in respect of any issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion of this Note pursuant thereto; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes resulting from any transfer requested by the Holder in connection with any such conversion.

 

(g) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of

any fractional shares to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the average of the Closing Bid Prices of the Common Stock for the five (5) consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the Conversion Date.

 

(h) Reservation of Common Stock. The Company shall at all times when this Note shall be outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of this Note and all interest accrued thereon; provided that the number of shares of Common Stock so reserved shall at no time be less than one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Note and all interest accrued thereon are at any time convertible. The Company shall, from time to time in accordance with Nevada corporate law, increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock if at any time the unissued number of authorized shares shall not be sufficient to satisfy the Company’s obligations under this agreement.

 

(i) Regulatory Compliance. If any shares of Common Stock to be reserved for the purpose of conversion of this Note or any interest accrued thereon require registration or listing with or approval of any governmental authority, stock exchange or other regulatory body under any federal or state law or regulation or otherwise before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon conversion, the Company shall, at its sole cost and expense, in good faith and as expeditiously as possible, endeavor to secure such registration, listing or approval, as the case may be.

 

 
 

 

 

Section 3.6 Inability to Fully Convert.

 

(a) Holder’s Option if Company Cannot Fully Convert. If, upon the Company’s receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Company cannot issue shares of Common Stock for any reason, including, without limitation, because the Company (w) does not have a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and available, or (x) is otherwise prohibited by applicable law or by the rules or regulations of any stock exchange, interdealer quotation system or other self-regulatory organization with jurisdiction over the Company or any of its securities from issuing all of the Common Stock which is to be issued to the Holder pursuant to a Conversion Notice, then the Company shall issue as many shares of Common Stock as it is able to issue in accordance with the Holder’s Conversion Notice and, with respect to the unconverted portion of this Note, the Holder, solely at Holder’s option, can elect to: (ii) void its Conversion Notice and retain or have returned, as the case may be, this Note that was to be converted pursuant to the Conversion Notice (provided that the Holder’s voiding its Conversion Notice shall not effect the Company’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice).

 

In the event a Holder shall elect to convert any portion of its Notes as provided herein, the Company cannot refuse conversion based on any claim that such Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, violation of an agreement to which such Holder is a party or for any reason whatsoever, unless, an injunction from a court, on notice, restraining and or adjoining conversion of all or of said Notes shall have been issued and the Company posts a surety bond for the benefit of such Holder in an amount equal to 130% of the principal amount of the Notes the Holder has elected to convert, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder in the event it obtains judgment.

 

(b) Mechanics of Fulfilling Holder’s Election. The Company shall immediately send via facsimile to the Holder, upon receipt of a facsimile copy of a Conversion Notice from the Holder which cannot be fully satisfied as described in Section 3.7(a) above, a notice of the Company’s inability to fully satisfy the Conversion Notice (the “Inability to Fully Convert Notice”). Such Inability to Fully Convert Notice shall indicate (i) the reason why the Company is unable to fully satisfy such holder’s Conversion Notice, (ii) the amount of this Note which cannot be converted and (iii) the applicable Mandatory Prepayment Price. The Holder shall notify the Company of its election pursuant to Section 3.7(a) above by delivering written notice via facsimile to the Company (“Notice in Response to Inability to Convert”).

Section 3.7 No Rights as Shareholder. Nothing contained in this Note shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder, prior to the conversion of this Note, the right to vote or to receive dividends or to consent or to receive notice as a shareholder in respect of any meeting of shareholders for the election of directors of the Company or of any other matter, or any other rights as a shareholder of the Company.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as special counsel to Eco Innovation Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation, (the “Company”) in connection with the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on September 17, 2020, as amended to date (the “Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement relates to the registration of up to 50,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, 25,000,000 of which are being offered by the Company (the “Company Shares”) and 25,000,000 of which are being offered by certain selling stockholders named in the Registration Statement (the “Selling Stockholder Shares,” and together with the Company Shares, the “Shares”). This opinion is being furnished in connection with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Act, and no opinion is expressed herein as to any matter pertaining to the contents of the Registration Statement or related prospectus (the “Prospectus”), other than as expressly stated herein with respect to the issue of the Shares. 

 

As such counsel, we have examined and relied upon the originals or copies of such documents, corporate records, and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purpose of this opinion, including, without limitation, the following: (a) the articles of incorporation of the Company; (b) the bylaws of the Company; (c) the Registration Statement, including all exhibits thereto. With your consent, we have relied upon certificates and other assurances of officers of the Company and others as to factual matters without having independently verified such factual matters.

 

In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such documents, and the accuracy and completeness of the corporate records made available to us by the Company. We express no opinion with regard to the applicability or effect of the law of any jurisdiction other than, as in effect on the date of this letter, (a) the internal laws of the State of Nevada; and (b) the federal laws of the United States.

 

Subject to the foregoing and in reliance thereon, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof, when the Company Shares shall have been duly registered on the books of the transfer agent and registrar therefor in the name or on behalf of the purchasers and have been issued by the Company against payment therefor (for not less than par value) in the circumstances contemplated by the Registration Statement, the issue and sale of the Company Shares will have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company, and the Company Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. In addition, it is our opinion that the Selling Stockholder Shares have been duly authorized and are duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

 

This opinion is for your benefit in connection with the Registration Statement and may be relied upon by you and by persons entitled to rely upon it pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Securities Act. We consent to your filing this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm in the Prospectus under the heading “Legal Matters.” In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we come within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.

EX-10.12 6 ex10x12.htm DEBT EXCHANGE AGREEMENT DATED NOVEMBER 16, 2020 WITH PINNACLE CONSULTING SERVICES, INC.

Exhibit 10.12

 

 

DEBT EXCHANGE AGREEMENT

 

THIS DEBT EXCHANGE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of November 16, 2020 by and among Eco Innovation Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Company”) and Robert L. Hymers, III (“Holder”).

 

RECITALS

 

A. In May 2016, a consultant to the Company was awarded the right to receive 100,000,000 shares of common stock in compensation for consulting services provided pursuant to a consulting agreement. In May 2018, this right was assigned to Heritage Funding, Inc. and John English equally in exchange for $9,9038, to be paid by the Company, by means of a promissory note that was convertible into 100,000,000 shares of common stock at a fixed per-share price of $0.0009. In October 2019, Heritage Funding entered into a private transaction to sell the right to 45,000,000 of its 50,000,000 shares to Blue Ridge Enterprises.

 

B. On May 21, 2020, Holder purchased half of the remaining convertible promissory note and its related conversion rights from John English pursuant to a debt purchase agreement dated May 21, 2020 (the “Debt Purchase Agreement”). As of the date of this Agreement, the remaining principal balance owed to Holder of $2,451 is convertible into 25,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Debt”).

 

C. The Company and the Holder desire to cause the Debt and the obligations of the Company represented thereby to be restated by exchanging the Debt for the convertible promissory note in substantially the form as Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Note”), as set forth herein;

 

D. The Company and the Holder are entering into this Agreement to set forth the terms and conditions applicable to the exchange of the Debt for the Note;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto, the parties hereby agree as follows:

 

Article 1

EXCHANGE OF DEBT SECURITIES

 

1.1 Exchange.

 

(a) The Holder hereby agrees, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, to exchange the aggregate principal amount of the Debt, together with all interest thereon accrued up to but not including the effective date of such exchange, for the Note, in substantially the form as Exhibit A attached hereto and hereby incorporated as a material part of this Agreement (the “Debt Exchange”).

 

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the consummation of the Debt Exchange shall take place upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, whereby the Holder shall consider the Debt, as it pre-existed, to be cancelled, and the Company shall deliver to the Holder the Note.

 

(c) The Note will be issued in full satisfaction of the Debt, and the Company and the Holder intend that the Debt Exchange be an exchange subject to the tacking provisions of Rule 144 (§ 230.144(d)(3)(ii)) as securities acquired from the Company solely in exchange for other securities of the same issuer.

 

Article 2

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY

 

The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Holder that:

 

 
 

 

 

2.1 Corporate Status. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada and has all requisite corporate or other power and authority to carry on its business as now being conducted.

As of the date of this Agreement, 135,930,680 shares of Common Stock are issued and outstanding and 30,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding.

2.4 Non-Contravention. The execution and delivery of this Agreement does not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and compliance with the provisions hereof, will not, conflict with, or result in any violation of, or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under the Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws of the Company.

ARTICLE III

CONVERSION; ANTIDILUTION; CONVERSION LIMITATIONS PREPAYMENT

 

Section 3.1 Conversion and Fixed Conversion Price.  At any time, at the option of the Holder, the Principal Amount of this Convertible Note, may be converted into shares of the Company's common stock, $0.001 par value (the "Common Stock"), at the Holder’s discretion. The number of shares of Common Stock that this Convertible Note or any portion hereof shall be converted into is based upon the conversion price of $0.000098 per share, corresponding to the original conversion rights of the Debt (as defined in the Debt Exchange Agreement of even date herewith) (the “Conversion Price”) and shall be determined by dividing the outstanding Principal Amount, or any partial amount thereto, of the Convertible Note being converted, by the Conversion Price (the "Conversion Shares"). Any request by Holder to convert must be accompanied by a written notice in the form attached hereto that the Holder hereof elects to convert this Convertible Note, or a specified portion hereof, which notice shall also state the name or names (with address or addresses) in such Common Stock shall be issued.  No fractional shares will be issued upon any such conversion, but the Company shall make adjustment therefor in cash, or by rounding to the nearest whole share. In the event of conversion of this Convertible Note in part only, a new Convertible Note or Convertible Notes for the unconverted portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder upon the cancellation of this Convertible Note.

 

Section 3.2 Stock Splits. The Fixed Conversion Price shall be protected against all and any stock splits and shall adjusted in the event of any such stock split.

 

Section 3.3 Conversion Limitations. In no event shall the Holder be allowed to effect any conversion of this Note if the issuable Conversion Shares of such conversion, along with all other shares of Company Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates, would exceed 4.99% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock of the Company (which may be increased up to 9.9% upon 61 days prior written notice by the Investor).

 

Section 3.4 Mechanics of Conversion.

 

(a) Not later than three (3) Trading Days after any Conversion Date, the Company or its designated transfer agent, as applicable, shall issue and deliver to the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) account on the Holder’s behalf via the Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission System (“DWAC”) as specified in the Conversion Notice, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled. In the alternative, not later than three (3) Trading Days after any Conversion Date, the Company shall deliver to the applicable Holder by express courier a certificate or certificates which shall be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the conversion of this Note (the “Delivery Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the Company or its transfer agent shall only be obligated to issue and deliver the shares to the DTC on the Holder’s behalf via DWAC (or certificates free of restrictive legends) if such conversion is in connection with a sale and the Holder has complied with the applicable prospectus delivery requirements. If in the case of any Conversion Notice such certificate or certificates are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled by written notice to the Company at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates thereafter, to rescind such conversion, in which event the Company shall immediately return this Note if tendered for conversion, whereupon the Company and the Holder shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to the delivery of such notice of revocation, except that any amounts described in Sections 3.3(b) and (c) shall be payable through the date notice of rescission is given to the Company.

 

 
 

 

 

(b) The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note beyond the Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Holder. If the Company fails to deliver to the Holder such shares via DWAC or a certificate or certificates pursuant to this Section hereunder by the Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to such Holder, in cash, an amount per Trading Day for each Trading Day until such shares are delivered via DWAC or certificates are delivered, together with interest on such amount at a rate of 10% per annum, accruing until such amount and any accrued interest thereon is paid in full, equal to the greater of (A) (i) 1% of the aggregate principal amount of the Note requested to be converted for the first five (5) Trading Days after the Delivery Date and (ii) 2% of the aggregate principal amount of the Note requested to be converted for each Trading Day thereafter and (B) $2,000 per day (which amount shall be paid as liquidated damages and not as a penalty). Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for the Company’s failure to deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion within the period specified herein and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity (including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Holder shall be entitled to withdraw a Conversion Notice, and upon such withdrawal the Company shall only be obligated to pay the liquidated damages accrued in accordance with this Section 3.3(b) through the date the Conversion Notice is withdrawn.

 

Section 3.5 Adjustment of Conversion Price.

 

(a) The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

 

(i) Adjustments for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, effect a stock split of the outstanding Common Stock, the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the stock split shall be proportionately decreased. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the combination shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustments under shall be effective at the close of business on the date the stock split or combination occurs.

 

(ii) Adjustments for Certain Dividends and Distributions. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, make or issue or set a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, then, and in each event, the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such event shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying, the applicable Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction:

 

(1) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date; and

 

(2) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution.

 

 
 

 

 

(iii) Adjustment for Other Dividends and Distributions. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, make or issue or set a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in other than shares of Common Stock, then, and in each event, an appropriate revision to the applicable Conversion Price shall be made and provision shall be made (by adjustments of the Conversion Price or otherwise) so that the holders of this Note shall receive upon conversions thereof, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereon, the number of securities of the Company which they would have received had this Note been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event and had thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the Conversion Date, retained such securities (together with any distributions payable thereon during such period), giving application to all adjustments called for during such period under this Section with respect to the rights of the holders of this Note; provided, however, that if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions.

 

(iv) Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution. If the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date shall be changed to the same or different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by reclassification, exchange, substitution or otherwise (other than by way of a stock split or combination of shares or stock dividends, then, and in each event, an appropriate revision to the Conversion Price shall be made and provisions shall be made (by adjustments of the Conversion Price or otherwise) so that the Holder shall have the right thereafter to convert this Note into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities receivable upon reclassification, exchange, substitution or other change, by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Note might have been converted immediately prior to such reclassification, exchange, substitution or other change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.

 

(v) Adjustments for Reorganization, Merger, Consolidation or Sales of Assets. If at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date there shall be a capital reorganization of the or a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation where the holders of outstanding voting securities prior to such merger or consolidation do not own over fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting securities of the merged or consolidated entity, immediately after such of the Company’s properties or assets to any other person (an “Organic Change”), then as a part of such Organic Change an appropriate revision to the Conversion Price shall be made and provision shall be made (by adjustments of the Conversion Price or otherwise) so that the Holder shall have the right thereafter to convert such Note into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities or property of the Company or any successor corporation resulting from Organic Change.

 

(vi) Issuance of Common Stock Equivalents. If the Company, at any time after the Issuance Date, shall issue any securities convertible into or exchangeable for, directly or indirectly, Common Stock (“Convertible Securities”), other than the Note, or any rights or warrants or options to purchase any such Common Stock or Convertible Securities, shall be issued or sold (collectively, the “Common Stock Equivalents”) and the aggregate of the price per share for which Additional Shares of Common Stock may be issuable thereafter pursuant to such Common Stock Equivalent, plus the consideration received by the Company for issuance of such Common Stock Equivalent divided by the number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such Common Stock Equivalent (the “Aggregate Per Common Share Price”) shall be less than the applicable Conversion Price then in effect, or if, after any such issuance of Common Stock Equivalents, the price per share for which Additional Shares of Common Stock may be issuable thereafter is amended or adjusted, and such price as so amended shall make the Aggregate Per Share Common Price be less than the applicable Conversion Price in effect at the time of such amendment or adjustment, then the applicable Conversion Price upon each such issuance or amendment shall be adjusted on the basis that (1) the maximum number of Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to all such Common Stock Equivalents shall be deemed to have been issued (whether or not such Common Stock Equivalents are actually then exercisable, convertible or exchangeable in whole or in part) as of the earlier of (A) the date on which the Company shall enter into a firm contract for the issuance of such Common Stock Equivalent, or (B) the date of actual issuance of such Common Stock Equivalent. No adjustment of the applicable Conversion Price shall be made under this subsection (vii) upon the issuance of any Convertible Security which is issued pursuant to the exercise of any warrants or other subscription or purchase rights therefor, if any adjustment shall previously have been made to the exercise price of such warrants then in effect upon the issuance of such warrants or other rights pursuant to this subsection (vii). No adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Price upon the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise, conversion or exchange of any Convertible Security or Common Stock Equivalent where an adjustment to the Conversion Price was made as a result of the issuance or purchase of any Convertible Security or Common Stock Equivalent.

 

 
 

 

 

(vii) Consideration for Stock. In case any shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents shall be issued or sold:

 

(1) in connection with any merger or consolidation in which the Company is the surviving corporation (other than any consolidation or merger in which the previously outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be changed to or exchanged for the stock or other securities of another corporation), the amount of consideration therefor shall be, deemed to be the fair value, as determined reasonably and in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, of such portion of the assets and business of the nonsurviving corporation as such Board may determine to be attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Convertible Securities, rights or warrants or options, as the case may be; or

 

(2) in the event of any consolidation or merger of the Company in which the Company is not the surviving corporation or in which the previously outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be changed into or exchanged for the stock or other securities of another corporation, or in the event of any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company for stock or other securities of any corporation, the Company shall be deemed to have issued a number of shares of its Common Stock for stock or securities or other property of the other corporation computed on the basis of the actual exchange ratio on which the transaction was predicated, and for a consideration equal to the fair market value on the date of such transaction of all such stock or securities or other property of the other corporation. If any such calculation results in adjustment of the applicable Conversion Price, or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note, the determination of the applicable Conversion Price or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or sale, shall be made after giving effect to such adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note. In the event Common Stock is issued with other shares or securities or other assets of the Company for consideration which covers both, the consideration computed as provided in this Section 3.5(viii) shall be allocated among such securities and assets as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.

 

(b) Record Date. In case the Company shall take record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock or Convertible Securities, then the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to be such record date.

 

(c) Certain Issues Excepted. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be required to make any adjustment to the Conversion Price in connection with (i) securities issued (other than for cash) in connection with a merger, acquisition, or consolidation, (ii) securities issued pursuant to a bona fide firm underwritten public offering of the Company’s securities, (iii) securities issued pursuant to the conversion or exercise of convertible or excercisable securities issued or outstanding on or prior to the date hereof or issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, (iv) the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Warrants, (v) securities issued in connection with strategic license agreements or other partnering arrangements so long as such issuances are not for the purpose of raising capital, (vi) Common Stock issued or options to purchase Common Stock granted or issued pursuant to the Company’s stock option plans and employee stock purchase plans as they now exist and (vii) the payment of any accrued interest in shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Note.

 

 
 

 

 

(d) No Impairment. The Company shall not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith, assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this agreement and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the Conversion Rights of the Holder against impairment. In the event a Holder shall elect to convert any Note as provided herein, the Company cannot refuse conversion based on any claim that such Holder or any one associated or affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, violation of an agreement to which such Holder is a party or for any reason whatsoever, unless, an injunction from a court, or notice, restraining and or adjoining conversion of all or of said Note shall have issued and the Company posts a surety bond for the benefit of such Holder in an amount equal to one hundred thirty percent (130%) of the amount of the Note the Holder has elected to convert, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder in the event it obtains judgment.

 

(e) Certificates as to Adjustments. Upon occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price or number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note pursuant to this Section 3.5, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to the Holder a certificate setting forth such adjustment and readjustment, showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall, upon written request of the Holder, at any time, furnish or cause to be furnished to the Holder a like certificate setting forth such adjustments and readjustments, the applicable Conversion Price in effect at the time, and the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of this Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to deliver a certificate unless such certificate would reflect an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) of such adjusted amount.

 

(f) Issue Taxes. The Company shall pay any and all issue and other taxes, excluding federal, state or local income taxes, that may be payable in respect of any issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion of this Note pursuant thereto; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes resulting from any transfer requested by the Holder in connection with any such conversion.

 

(g) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of

any fractional shares to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the average of the Closing Bid Prices of the Common Stock for the five (5) consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the Conversion Date.

 

(h) Reservation of Common Stock. The Company shall at all times when this Note shall be outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of this Note and all interest accrued thereon; provided that the number of shares of Common Stock so reserved shall at no time be less than one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Note and all interest accrued thereon are at any time convertible. The Company shall, from time to time in accordance with Nevada corporate law, increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock if at any time the unissued number of authorized shares shall not be sufficient to satisfy the Company’s obligations under this agreement.

 

 

 
 

 

 

(i) Regulatory Compliance. If any shares of Common Stock to be reserved for the purpose of conversion of this Note or any interest accrued thereon require registration or listing with or approval of any governmental authority, stock exchange or other regulatory body under any federal or state law or regulation or otherwise before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon conversion, the Company shall, at its sole cost and expense, in good faith and as expeditiously as possible, endeavor to secure such registration, listing or approval, as the case may be.

 

Section 3.6 Inability to Fully Convert.

 

(a) Holder’s Option if Company Cannot Fully Convert. If, upon the Company’s receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Company cannot issue shares of Common Stock for any reason, including, without limitation, because the Company (w) does not have a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and available, or (x) is otherwise prohibited by applicable law or by the rules or regulations of any stock exchange, interdealer quotation system or other self-regulatory organization with jurisdiction over the Company or any of its securities from issuing all of the Common Stock which is to be issued to the Holder pursuant to a Conversion Notice, then the Company shall issue as many shares of Common Stock as it is able to issue in accordance with the Holder’s Conversion Notice and, with respect to the unconverted portion of this Note, the Holder, solely at Holder’s option, can elect to: (ii) void its Conversion Notice and retain or have returned, as the case may be, this Note that was to be converted pursuant to the Conversion Notice (provided that the Holder’s voiding its Conversion Notice shall not effect the Company’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice).

 

In the event a Holder shall elect to convert any portion of its Notes as provided herein, the Company cannot refuse conversion based on any claim that such Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, violation of an agreement to which such Holder is a party or for any reason whatsoever, unless, an injunction from a court, on notice, restraining and or adjoining conversion of all or of said Notes shall have been issued and the Company posts a surety bond for the benefit of such Holder in an amount equal to 130% of the principal amount of the Notes the Holder has elected to convert, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder in the event it obtains judgment.

 

(b) Mechanics of Fulfilling Holder’s Election. The Company shall immediately send via facsimile to the Holder, upon receipt of a facsimile copy of a Conversion Notice from the Holder which cannot be fully satisfied as described in Section 3.7(a) above, a notice of the Company’s inability to fully satisfy the Conversion Notice (the “Inability to Fully Convert Notice”). Such Inability to Fully Convert Notice shall indicate (i) the reason why the Company is unable to fully satisfy such holder’s Conversion Notice, (ii) the amount of this Note which cannot be converted and (iii) the applicable Mandatory Prepayment Price. The Holder shall notify the Company of its election pursuant to Section 3.7(a) above by delivering written notice via facsimile to the Company (“Notice in Response to Inability to Convert”).

Section 3.7 No Rights as Shareholder. Nothing contained in this Note shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder, prior to the conversion of this Note, the right to vote or to receive dividends or to consent or to receive notice as a shareholder in respect of any meeting of shareholders for the election of directors of the Company or of any other matter, or any other rights as a shareholder of the Company.

Re:

Eco Innovation Group, Inc.
Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement on Form S-1

File No. 333-248871

Dear Mr. Kruczek:

On behalf of our client, Eco Innovation Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), we are filing herewith an Amendment No. 2 (the “Amendment”) to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on September 17, 2020, and amended on September 18, 2020 (the “Registration Statement”). The Amendment has been prepared in response to the comments of the staff (the “Staff”) delivered by way of the Staff’s letter dated October 13, 2020 (the “Comment Letter”).

Set forth below are the Company’s responses to the Staff’s comments, numbered in a manner to correspond to the order which the staff’s comments were delivered. For your convenience, we have included the original comments from the Comment Letter in their entirety:

General

1. Rule 419 defines a blank check company in section (a)(2) as a company issuing penny stock that is “a development stage company that has no specific business plan or purpose or has indicated that its business plan is to engage in a merger or acquisition with an unidentified company or companies, or other entity.” In discussing the definition of a blank check company in the adopting release for Rule 419, the Commission stated that it would “scrutinize . . . offerings for attempts to create the appearance that the registrant . . . has a specific business plan, in an effort to avoid the application of Rule 419.” Please see Release No. 33-6932. In view of the following, it appears that your proposed business is commensurate in scope with the uncertainty ordinarily associated with a blank check company:

 

• You are issuing penny stock, as defined by Exchange Act Rule 3a51-1;

• You have no operations, minimal assets, and one part-time employee;

• You have no contracts or purchase orders with any retail or wholesale customers; and

• You will be unable to implement your business plan without substantial additional funding and there appears to be no efforts or current plans for obtaining this funding other than this offering.

 

 
 

 

Please revise your disclosure throughout your registration statement to comply with Rule 419 and prominently disclose that you are a blank check company.

 

RESPONSE

The Company is not a blank check company as defined by Rule 419 of Regulation C under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Act”).

Section 7(b)(3) of the Act defines the term “blank check company” to mean any development stage company that is issuing a penny stock that, “(A) has no specific plan or purpose, or (B) has indicated that its business plan is to merge with an unidentified company or companies.”  

In Securities Act Release No. 6932 which adopted rules relating to blank check offerings, the Securities and Exchange Commission stated in II DISCUSSION OF THE RULES, A. Scope of Rule 419, that, “Rule 419 does not apply to . . . start-up companies with specific business plans . . .. even if operations have not commenced at the time of the offering.” If start-up companies were subject to Rule 419, all start-up businesses would be considered blank check companies.  Please note that Securities Act Release No. 6932 does not require that the company have adequate capital to fund its operations.

In this case, the Company has a specific plan and purpose which does not include plans to merge with an unidentified company or companies.   The Company’s business purpose and specific plan is to engage in the business of licensing, developing, patent-protecting and bringing to market socially responsible and sustainability-focused technologies.  As a result of the Company’s operations under its business plan, the Company has signed contracts with two clients in the past three months.  In addition, the Company’s business is active and is generating meaningful revenue. In the third quarter of 2020, the Company received payments totaling $100,000 in payment for the provision of services under the Company’s Master Outsourcing Contract Manufacturing Agreement with EcoGen Energy, Inc.

In summary, the Company, because of its specific business plan, the fact it does not have any current plans to engage in a merger or acquisition with any other company or companies or other entity or person and the fact it is implementing such business plan, is not a Rule 419 blank check company but an early stage development company. In light of the above facts, the Cover Page of the prospectus has been updated to state that the Company is not a “blank check company” and has no intention to engage in a business combination. The Company has added the relevant above disclosure both the Summary and Business sections in the Amendment.

Prospectus Cover Page, page 4

2.       Please reconcile your disclosure here that you intend to register your common stock under the Exchange Act with your disclosure on page 69 that you will have a reporting obligation only under Exchange Act Section 15(d).

RESPONSE

In response to the Staff’s comment, the disclosure on page 69 has been revised to reconcile with the Prospectus Cover Page disclosure on page 4 as requested.  Please note that the Company has substituted the phrase “Exchange Act” for “Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934” to more accurately describes the relevant reporting obligations.

Business Model, page 7

3.                   Please revise the first paragraph to more specifically describe what actual services you provide or intend to provide. For example, you mention providing a "technology incubator platform" that applies "capital and management expertise" to introduce technologies. Discuss what exactly this entails.

 

 
 

RESPONSE

In response to the Staff’s comment, additional detail has been disclosed in the business and MD&A sections.

4.                   Revise the second and third paragraphs to clarify how you will manufacture and source products pursuant to the agreement you mention, given the current stage of your operations and number of employees you currently have. Provide a similar explanation for the Power Booster product mentioned in your disclosure. Also disclose the basis for your statement in the last sentence of the third paragraph.

RESPONSE

In response to the Staff’s comment, additional detail has been disclosed in the business and MD&A sections.

Risk Factors, page 12

5.       Please consider adding a risk factor to discuss the material risks associated with the fact that your auditor has expressed substantial doubt about your ability to continue as a going concern.

RESPONSE

In response to the Staff’s comment, an additional risk factor has been included, as follows:

“Our independent auditors' report for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 have expressed doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Due to the uncertainty of our ability to meet our current operating and capital expenses, in our audited annual financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 our independent auditors included a note to our financial statements regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred recurring losses, has generated limited revenue and has had negative operating cash flows since inception. These factors and the need for additional financing in order for the Company to meet its business plan, raise substantial doubt about the ability to continue as a going concern. The presence of the going concern note to our financial statements may have an adverse impact on the relationships we are developing and plan to develop with third parties as we continue the commercialization of our products and could make it challenging and difficult for us to raise additional financing, all of which could have a material adverse impact on our business and prospects and result in a significant or complete loss of your investment.”

Use of Proceeds, page 22

6.       Please revise to clarify the intended uses of proceeds from this offering. For example, clarify the equipment, product supplies and inventories you intend to purchase.

RESPONSE

Per the Staff’s comment, the Company has reviewed and revised the Use of Proceeds section to clarify the intended use of offering proceeds in greater detail and precision.

Dilution, page 24

7.       Please clarify that your dilution table is based on the most recent balance sheet date and provide an additional line to disclose the amount of the immediate dilution from the public offering price to new investors for each percentage of offering shares sold. Refer to Item 506 of Regulation S-K.

RESPONSE

In response to the Staff’s comment, the requested clarification has been made and the additional line has been added.

Interests of Experts, page 29

10.       We note your disclosure that on August 25, 2020 you signed a Master Outsourcing Contract Manufacturing Agreement with Eco-Gen Energy, Inc. (Eco-Gen), pursuant to which you will manufacture and source products for Eco-Gen, a related party. Please revise your disclosure to address the following:

          Based on your lack of facilities and employees, explain how you will fulfill your commitments under the agreement, including the minimum amount of offering proceeds you believe will be necessary. Provide similar disclosures for your agreement with Power Boast discussed in the section below;

          Provide financial information related to the assets and operations of Eco-Gen and address how you determined their ability to fulfill their commitments under the agreement; and

          Based on the disclosed terms of the agreement, including the 15% margin, explain how you determined the agreement is for approximately $6 million and is anticipated to produce $25.5 million in revenue over the next 12 months.

RESPONSE

Our Technology Agreements, page 31

11.       Please tell us where in Exhibit 10.14 you are granted the right to manufacture the product referenced here. It appears from that exhibit that you are merely granted exclusive marketing rights. Also, please file as an exhibit the "Development and Manufacturing Agreement" mentioned in Exhibit 10.14.

RESPONSE

In response to the Staff’s comment, the disclosure regarding Exhibit 10.2 has been revised to clarify that the Master Exclusive Licensing, Marketing, Distribution and Sales Agreement with the Bellagio IP Trust for the Power Booster™ technology only gives the Company the exclusive right to market Power Booster™ products. Due to international travel restrictions since March of 2020, the "Development and Manufacturing Agreement" mentioned in the agreement has not been executed yet, and the disclosure has been further revised to reflect the fact that the Company cannot be sure if or when, under the current global climate, that manufacturing agreement will be signed.

          Tell us how you determined it was appropriate to record a derivative expense of $60,658 during 2019, given the fair value of your derivative liability was $61,073 upon inception and changed to $60,658 as of December 31, 2019; and

It appears you recorded a beneficial conversion feature of $21,538 in additional paid in capital. It also appears you recorded additional beneficial conversion features in additional paid in capital for other convertible notes during the interim period. Tell us how you considered the guidance in ASC 815 and ASC 470 in determining the appropriate accounting treatment for the convertible notes since it appears to us that accounting for embedded conversion options as derivatives would preclude recording beneficial conversion options.

RESPONSE

The Company determined that the beneficial conversion feature should not have been recorded due to the embedded conversion option being bifurcated as a derivative liability at inception in accordance with ASC 815. The Company has restated its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 as follows:

·The initial debt discount recorded related to the embedded conversion option was $40,000, with $21,073 recognized as derivative expense upon issuance of the convertible note payable;
·No beneficial conversion feature has been recognized related to this note.
·Amortization of debt discount for the year ended December 31, 2019 is $6,339.

Notes to Interim Financial Statements Note 7 – Convertible Notes, page 67

21.       You disclose that the convertible note you executed with Pinnacle Consulting Services Inc. on December 9, 2019 matured on June 9, 2020. Please disclose whether this note was paid in full, was converted into shares of common stock or remained outstanding as of June 30, 2020. If this note remained outstanding, please address the potential consequences of the note not being settled before its maturity date.

RESPONSE

The Company has updated its disclosure in the interim consolidated financial statements to reflect that on November 16, 2020, the Company and Pinnacle entered into an amendment to this note, in fact originally issued on December 2, 2019, extending the maturity date to April 1, 2021, and adding an ownership limitation whereby the holder is unable to effect any conversion under the note if the holder owns greater than 4.99% of the Company outstanding capital stock. As a result of this amendment to the convertible promissory note, the note is no longer in default.
