                         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 June 30, 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 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 June 30, 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, if 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.
