PART I
Item 1. Description of Business.
Monet Entertainment Group, Ltd., (the "Company") was formed in 1996 in
order to finance the production of low budget feature length motion pictures and
a variety of other entertainment projects including documentaries, video
recordings and musical recordings. Many small independent producers are
financially unsophisticated and have little experience in raising the capital
required to produce their projects. As a result, the Company believes that there
is an opportunity to provide financing for projects which have a production
budget of between $50,000 and $1,000,000. The Company is of the opinion that
there is virtually no organized competition for financing of this nature.
The Company's offices are located at 222 Milwaukee St., Suite 304, Denver,
Colorado 80206. The Company's telephone number is (303) 329-3479.
The financing to be provided by the Company will typically be in the form of one
or more of the following:
1. Direct loans
2. Equity participations
3. Project completion bonds
In the case of direct loans, the interest rate will normally be five to
seven percentage points above the then prevailing prime lending rate, plus an
origination fee which will normally not exceed 3% of the amount of the loan. The
loans will generally have a maturity of two years or less. Direct loans will be
secured by the specific project being financed, the personal guarantees of the
producer and/or others involved in the project and in some cases by other
collateral.
Equity participation will involve an investment in the entertainment
project in return for a percentage of any profits earned from the commercial
exploitation of the project.
A completion bond will be the financial guaranty of the Company to
complete production of the project in the event that the production exceeds its
budget and additional capital is unavailable. The Company plans to reinsure any
bonds which its issues with insurers of sufficient financial resources such that
the Company will never be fully at risk for any capital which may be required if
the Company is called upon to pay the bond. In the alternative, the production
entity may be asked to pledge sufficient collateral to cover the bonded guaranty
such that the Company will be fully covered in the event there is any call on
the bond. The Company believes that its proposed completion bond program will
assist small independent producers in obtaining financing for their projects and
will be unique in the industry. The Company will charge the producer receiving
the bond a fee, which will normally be in the range of 3% to 5% of the amount of
the bond, for providing the completion bond.
<PAGE>
In addition to direct funding from the Company or a Company sponsored
joint venture, the Company also plans to provide small independent producers
with assistance in raising financing for entertainment projects with production
budgets in the range of $50,000 to $1,000,000. The Company intends to introduce
independent producers to persons willing to fund entertainment projects and
prepare, or supervise the preparation of, all documentation required to obtain
such financing.
The Company may also assist small independent producers in the
distribution of low budget motion pictures. In addition to standard theatrical
release, other distribution channels which the Company will pursue include video
cassette, video disc, DVD technology, airline syndication and foreign television
syndication. Depending upon the nature and commercial appeal of the project, the
Company may also license the sound track to a motion picture and the rights to
market merchandise based upon the film. If the Company can obtain distribution
agreements for a motion picture and/or licensing agreements pertaining to the
commercial exploitation of ancillary rights to the film, the Company is of the
opinion that obtaining production financing will be less difficult.
In 1996 Stephen Replin, an officer, director and principal shareholder of
the Company, purchased a 25% interest in a feature-length motion picture (then
in production) for $25,000. In 1996 Mr. Replin conveyed a 5% interest in the
film (20% of Mr. Replin's interest) to the Company in exchange for 2,295,000
shares of the Company's common stock. The film in which the Company has a 5%
interest was completed in 1998 and its producer is presently attempting to sell
the film to a distributor. If a sale is completed it is not expected that the
Company or the other owners of the film will retain any rights in the profits,
if any, resulting from the distribution of the film.
At the present time, the Company is in the development stage and has not
earned any revenues from its proposed operations.
Before the Company can begin operations, the Company will need to raise at
least $250,000 so that the Company will be in a position to begin funding
entertainment projects and/or issuing completion bonds. The Company will attempt
to raise this capital through:
1. The private sale of its debt and/or equity securities.
2. Borrowings from private lenders.
3. Joint ventures which will be formed by the Company and third parties
for the purpose of funding one or more entertainment projects.
The Company does not have any commitments from any person to provide any
capital to either the Company or to any producer of motion pictures or other
form of entertainment. The Company does not have any agreements with any motion
picture producer or producer of other forms of entertainment to finance the
production of any entertainment project. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be successful in terms of raising any capital, funding any
entertainment projects, or earning any profits.

Item 3. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants.
Not applicable.
Item 4. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.
The following information sets forth all securities of the Company which
have been sold and which were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933.
All presently outstanding shares of the Company's common stock were sold between
September 20, 1996 and December 31, 1996.
In October 1996 the Company issued 500,000 shares of its common stock in
exchange for 115,531 shares of the Series "C" common stock of Energy Acquisition
Companies, Inc. ("EAC"). At the time of this transaction, and as of September
15, 1999, EAC was not conducting any business and did not have any assets or
liabilities. The shares that the Company owns in EAC represent less than 1% of
EAC's issued and outstanding common stock. Stephen Replin, an officer and
director of the Company, is also an officer, director and controlling
shareholder of EAC and received 400,000 shares of the Company's common stock in
exchange for his Series C common shares of EAC.
<PAGE>
The issuance of the shares of the Company's common stock to the former
holders of EAC's series C shares was exempt from registration pursuant to Rule
504 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. No underwriters were used and the
Company did not pay any commissions in connection with the sale of these
securities.
In 1996 Mr. Replin purchased a 25% interest in a feature-length motion
picture for $25,000. In September 1996 Mr. Replin conveyed a 5% interest in the
film (20% of Mr. Replin's interest) to the Company in exchange for 2,295,000
shares of the Company's common stock.
In 1996 three former officers of the Company each received 435,000 shares
of the Company's common stock for services rendered. In 1998 and 1999 all of
these shares were purchased by Mr. Replin either directly, by entities
controlled by Mr. Replin, or by unrelated third parties.
In 1996 the Company sold 900,000 shares of its common stock to two persons
for approximately $0.02 per share.
The issuance of the shares described in the preceding three paragraphs was
exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
All of these shares were acquired for investment purposes only and without a
view to distribution. The persons who received these shares were fully informed
about matters concerning the Company, including its business, financial affairs
and other matters and acquired the securities for its own accounts. The shares
described in the preceding three paragraphs are "restricted" securities as
defined in Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. No underwriters
were used and no commissions were paid in connection with the issuance of these
shares.
Item 5. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Colorado Business Corporation Act and the Company's Bylaws provide
that the Company may indemnify any and all of its officers, directors, employees
or agents or former officers, directors, employees or agents, against expenses
actually and necessarily incurred by them, in connection with the defense of any
legal proceeding or threatened legal proceeding, except as to matters in which
such persons shall be determined not to have acted in good faith and in the best
interest of the Company. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising
under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, or
persons controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the
Company has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act of 1933 and is therefore unenforceable.

Notes to Financial Statements
A - Background and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Background
The Monet Entertainment Group, Ltd.. (the Company) was formed on September
20, 1996 for the purpose of engaging in two pursuits in the entertainment
industry. The first involves developing a unique "completion guarantee" to
assure the completion of selected motion picture projects. The second involves
developing a financing program for full length motion pictures:
1. Completion bonding activities are associated with and a part of
commercial film production and other entertainment production activities. A
"completion bond" is a guarantee that should a film project go over budget or
not have sufficient capital to complete the film, the guarantor will provide the
additional capital needed to insure completion of the project. This guarantee
for small independent producers is unique in the entertainment industry. At
present completion bonding has been a requirement for medium and large budget
productions but generally unavailable for small producers. Lack of availability
of this or a similar financial product has resulted in secondary producers
having great difficulty in obtaining financing and has kept many worthwhile
projects from reaching theaters. It is anticipated that Monet's completion bonds
will be reinsured with companies with sufficient capital resources to preclude
the possibility that Monet will ever be at risk for capital shortages in bonded
projects.
2. Financing feature length budget films will be accomplished through the
formation of a continuing series ofjoint ventures with independent film makers.
Plans include taking fractional interests in selected film projects, thus
spreading investor risk in the most advantageous manner. Project involvement
will be financed through joint-venture arrangements with individual investors
and small non-entertainment related companies.
Monet Entertainment Group, Ltd. is considered to be a Development Stage
Enterprise because planned principal operations have not commenced and there has
been no revenue therefrom.
Accounting Policies
The accompanying balance sheets are presented in the format prescribed for
development stage enterprises by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
7 issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board.

Notes to Financial Statements
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. actual amounts could differ from those estimates.
B - Investments
The Company has exchanged shares of its common stock for shares of Series
C common stock of Energy Acquisition Companies, Inc. Energy), a New York
Corporation.
The exchange, which was effective on October 7, 1996, (the date the
Certificate of Share Exchange was filed by the Colorado Secretary of State and
by the New York Department of State), resulted in the exchange of 115,531 shares
of Energy Acquisition Companies, Inc. Series C, Par Value $0.00 I Common Stock
for 500,000 shares of Monet Entertainment Group, Ltd. Common Stock.
The 115,531 shares of Energy Acquisition Companies, Inc. common stock
received by Monet represents 9/10 of one percent of Energy's outstanding shares.
The 500,000 shares of Monet common stock surrendered to Energy represents eleven
percent of of the Company's outstanding common stock, and two percent of its
authorized stock.
C- Completion of Film and Prospective Sale
During the initial operating period the Company acquired an interest in a
feature-length motion picture, tentatively entitled Salvation. This interest was
conveyed by Mr. Stephen Replin, President and principal stockholder of Monet
Entertainment Group, Ltd., in exchange for 2,295,000 shares of common stock. In
1996 Mr. Replin purchased a 25 percent interest in the film for $25,000. He
conveyed 20 percent of his interest in the film, thereby providing Monet with a
five percent ownership position.
<PAGE>
Monet Entertainment Group, Ltd.
(A Development Stage Enterprise)
Notes to Financial Statements (cont'd)
The film has been completed and management is presently attempting to sell
it outright to a distributor. An outright sale contemplates a fixed price
agreement in which the sellers will not retain rights in the profits, if any,
resulting from the distribution and promotion of the film. It is not anticipated
that owners will be required to contribute additional capital to finalize the
sale of the film.
D - Organizational Expenses
Three present and former officers of the Corporation, Messrs Frank Stuart,
Vice-President, Capital Markets; Nelson Hancock, Treasurer; and John Neas,
Recording Secretary, in recognition for their service rendered without
compensation to the Corporation, were each awarded 435,000 shares of common
stock. Subsequently, all of these shares were purchased by Stephen Replin and
others. The value of their contribution has been classified as an organizational
expense and will be amortized over a period of time consistent with tax law,
once the corporation is no longer classified as a development stage enterprise.

involvement will be financed through joint-venture arrangements with individual
investors and small non-entertainment related companies.
