(A Development Stage Enterprise)
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 within the entertainment
industry which involve developing a unique "completion guarantee" to assure the
completion of selected projects and 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 of joint 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.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
rules established by the Securities and Exchange Commission for Form 10-Q. Not
all financial disclosures required to present the financial position and results
of operations in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles are
included herein. The reader is referred to the Company's Financial Statements
included in the registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1999. In the opinion of management, all accruals and adjustments
(each of which is of a normal recurring nature) necessary for a fair
presentation of the financial position as of March 31, 2000 and the results of
operations for the six-month period then ended have been made. Significant
accounting policies have been consistently applied in the interim financial
statements and the annual financial statements.

Notes to Financial Statements
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 $0.001 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 - Interest in Motion Picture During its 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.
When Monet Entertainment acquired its interest the film was incomplete. As of
March 31, 2000 the film has been completed for more than a year. Management
continues efforts to sell the film outright to a distributor, however a sale in
the immediate future is not anticipated. An outright sale contemplates a fixed
price agreement in which the sellers do not retain rights to share in the
profits, is any, resulting from the distribution and promotion of the film. It
is not anticipated that the owners of the film, including Monet Entertainment
Group, will be required to contribute additional capital to sell the film.
D - Organizational Expenses Three former officers of the Corporation were each
awarded 435,000 shares of common stock in recognition for their service rendered
without compensation to the Corporation. 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.

ITEM 2. PLAN OF OPERATION
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 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 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.
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.
