PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
The Toen Group, Inc. (the Registrant" or the "Company") was
incorporated in the State of Colorado on June 10, 1988 for the purpose of
searching for, evaluating and acquiring an interest in one or more business
opportunities. On December 3, 1989, the Company completed a public offering of
its stock pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-18 filed with the
Denver Regional Office of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The
Company, through an underwriter, sold a total of 50,000,000 shares of the its no
par value common stock and redeemable common stock purchase warrants
("Warrants") which entitle the holders to purchase of 162,000,000 additional
shares of common stock at a later date.
On March 9, 1990, the Company completed an agreement to exchange its
common stock for all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Sunbelt
Media Group Inc. ("Sunbelt"). Pursuant to the terms of the agreement with the
shareholders of Sunbelt, the Company issued 278,400,000 shares of its common
stock in exchange for all the outstanding shares of common stock of Sunbelt
following which Sunbelt became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. From
March 1990 to October 1992 Sunbelt owned, operated, and provided programming to
low power television stations and related businesses. The Company discontinued
the Sunbelt business in October 1992 and sold all the assets associated with the
operation of Sunbelt to William J. Kitchen ("Kitchen") in consideration of 1)
Kitchen's forgiveness of notes and other obligations owed to Kitchen by the
Registrant; and 2) Kitchen's assumption of miscellaneous debts of Sunbelt.
Pursuant to the sale, Kitchen also re-conveyed back to the Company 98,795,000
shares of the its common stock for cancellation. Since October 1992 the Company
has not had any revenues or operations.
The Company is currently in the process of seeking the acquisition of
or merger with a business entity or entities. The Registrant's day-to-day
business affairs are handled by three directors and three officers. Executive
compensation has been accrued but not paid to them or to any other employees or
consultants during the fiscal year ended May 31, 1996. As of the filing date of
this Report the Registrant had one employee and no operations. Current
management is pursuing business opportunities, but no assurance can be given
that the Registrant will be successful in acquiring any business opportunities,
or if acquired, what revenues might be provided from such operations.
On August 31, 1992 Jeffrey Paul Stroud ("Stroud") acquired 173,995,000
shares of the Registrant's common stock, representing 51% of the then issued and
outstanding shares, from Kitchen. Stroud also acquired the Warrants from
Kitchen. In March 1993 Stroud sold the 173,995,000 shares of the Registrant's
common stock and the Warrants.
On June 17, 1993 the Registrant's then existing Board of Directors
resigned and Fred G. Luke and Jon L. Lawver were appointed as replacement
Directors. The outgoing Board also elected Fred G. Luke as President of the
Registrant and Jon L. Lawver as Secretary, Treasurer and Chief Financial
Officer.
In September 1994 the Company's shareholders voted to effect a 1 for
1000 reverse split of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock. The
split was implemented through a merger with a newly formed Nevada corporation.
The accompanying financial statements have been retroactively restated to
reflect the merger including the change from no par value common stock to $.01
par value common stock. In connection with the merger and reverse split, the
[TOEN\10K\TG53196.10K]-5

<PAGE>
Company's authorized number of shares was reduced from 785,000,000 to
50,000,000. There are presently outstanding Warrants to purchase 668,000 shares
of common stock, exercisable at $5.00 per share.
Effective October 8, 1996 the Company's Articles of Incorporation were
amended to change the name of the Company from The Toen Group, Inc. to Virtual
Enterprises, Inc.
As used herein, the term "Company" or the "Registrant" refers to The
Toen Group Inc. The Registrant currently maintains its executive offices at 2
Park Plaza, Suite 470, Irvine, California 92614.
The telephone number is (714)833-2094.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Registrant's principal executive offices are located in shared
leased premises of approximately 3,000 square feet in Irvine, California. These
premises are provided to the Registrant under an Advisory and Management
Agreement with NuVen Advisors, Inc. ("NuVen"), an affiliate.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

the Registrant is a party, or of which any of the Registrant's properties is the
subject.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED
STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
(a) Market Information
Following the completion of the public offering on November 30, 1989
and until September 6, 1990, the Company's common stock was traded on the
over-the-counter market and reported by the National Quotation Bureau Pink
Sheets. Trading ceased on September 6, 1990. The Registrant's outstanding
securities presently consist of 799,372 shares of $.01 par value common stock
and 668,000 Warrants, following the shareholders' approval of a 1:1000 reverse
split of the Company's common stock on September 28, 1994, decreasing the number
of issued and outstanding common stock from 249,371,667 to 249,372, and a 1:250
reverse split of the Warrants, decreasing the number of issued and outstanding
Warrants from 167,000,000 to 668,000 and increasing the exercise price from $.02
per Warrant to $5.00 per Warrant. Additionally, the expiration date of the
Warrants was extended to December 31, 1997. Each Warrant currently entitles the
holder to purchase at a price of $5.00, one share of the Company's common stock.
[TOEN\10K\TG53196.10K]-5

<PAGE>
There has not been a market bid and ask price for the Company's common
stock during the last three fiscal years as there has been no market for the
Registrant's Common Stock since September 6, 1990.
(b) Holders
The approximate number of holders of record of each class of equity
securities of the Registrant as of May 31, 1996, was as follows:
NUMBER OF
TITLE OF CLASS RECORD HOLDERS
- ----------------------------------------- --------------
$.01 Par Value Common Stock 40
Redeemable Common Stock Purchase Warrants 30
(c) Dividends
The Registrant has never declared or paid a cash dividend on its common
stock. The Registrant does not intend to pay a cash dividend in the foreseeable
future.
ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations
Year Ended May 31, 1996 Compared to Year Ended May 31, 1995
There were no operations during fiscal 1996 and as such, there were no
revenues or cost of revenues recorded during fiscal 1996.
General and administrative expenses decreased to $1,761 in fiscal 1996
compared to $175,065 in fiscal 1995. The decrease was primarily
attributable to a credit in the approximate amount of $163,000 received
from NuVen Advisors, Inc. ("NuVen"), an affiliate and contracted
advisor. Due to minimal services performed by NuVen during fiscal 1996,
the Registrant received a credit against outstanding invoices owed to
NuVen.
Liquidity and Capital Resources.
As of May 31, 1996 the Registrant had a working capital deficit of
$314,337, a decrease of $739 from May 31, 1995. The small decrease was
attributable to the offsetting effect of the continued accrual of
professional, consulting and advisory fees during fiscal 1996 that were
incurred but not paid and a credit received by NuVen, discussed above.
The Registrant had cash balances of approximately $51 and $161, at May
31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The limited cash balances are a direct
result of the Registrant having no operations during fiscal year 1996.
[TOEN\10K\TG53196.10K]-5

<PAGE>
The Registrant's plan is to keep searching for additional sources of
capital and new operating opportunities. In the interim, the
Registrant's existence is dependent on continuing financial support
from an affiliate which is estimated to be approximately $465,000 for
the next fiscal year based upon current agreements and obligations the
Company has at May 31, 1996. Furthermore, the Registrant may have to
utilize its common stock for future financial support to finance its
needs. Such conditions raise substantial doubt about the Registrant's
ability to continue as a going concern. As such, the Registrant's
independent accountants have modified their report to include an
explanatory paragraph with respect to the uncertainty.
The Registrant has no commitments for capital expenditures or
additional equity or debt financing and no assurances can be made that
its working capital needs can be met.
Additionally, as of May 31, 1996, the Registrant had no operations or
employees other than its President.
ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Financial Statements are referred to in Item 13(a), listed in the Index
to Financial Statements and filed and included elsewhere herein as a part of
this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.
ITEM 8. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS
Following May 31, 1990, Jerome W. Karsh & Co. resigned as the
Registrant's principal accountants. In April, 1993, the Registrant notified
O'Neal & White of its appointment as the Registrant's principal independent
accountants. On July 19, 1995, C. Williams & Associates replaced O'Neal & White
as the Registrant's principal accountants. On April 24, 1996, Spurgeon, Kang &
Associates replaced C. Williams & Associates as the Registrant's principal
accountants.
The Reports of Spurgeon, Kang & Associates with respect to the 1994 and
1995 fiscal years financial statements include an explanatory paragraph with
respect to the substantial doubt existing about the ability of the Company to
continue as a going concern due to its recurring net losses, negative cash flows
from operating activities since its inception, limited liquid resources and
negative working capital.
Mr. Charles R. Williams, one of the principals of C. Williams &
Associates, was advised by the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy in a
letter dated January 29, 1996, addressed to the Chief Accountant of the Division
of Corporation Finance of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission"), that his certificate as a Certified Public Accountant was revoked
effective as of May 18, 1995, which was subsequently revised to provide for a
revocation date as of March 2, 1995. The Chief Accountant of the Division of
Corporation Finance advised Mr. Williams by means of a letter dated February 7,
1996, that the Commission does not recognize any person as a certified public
accountant who is not duly registered and in good standing as such under the
laws of the place of his residence or principal office as of March 2, 1995. No
opinion on the Registrant's financial statements was ever issued by C. Williams
& Associates.
In connection with the audit for the fiscal year ended May 31, 1990,
and for the period from June 10, 1988, to May 31, 1990, there were no
disagreements between the Registrant and Jerome W. Karsh & Co. on any matter of
accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing
[TOEN\10K\TG53196.10K]-5

<PAGE>
scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of
Jerome W. Karsh & Co. would have caused it to make reference in connection with
its report.
None of the reports of Jerome W. Karsh & Co. on the Registrant's
financial statements contained an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion or
was qualified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles except
that the opinion was qualified by the assumption that the Registrant would
continue as a going concern.
The decision to change principal independent accountants was made by
the Registrant's Board of Directors.

ITEM 12. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
(a) Transactions With Management and Affiliates.
During fiscal 1995 there were no transactions with related parties that
exceeded $60,000 other than the following:
The Luke Family Trust (the "Trust") and J.L. Lawver Corp. (the "JLL
Corp.") owns 93% and 7%, respectively, of the common stock of NuVen. Fred G.
Luke, as the trustee of the Trust, controls the Trust and Jon L. Lawver is the
majority stockholder of JLL Corp. Mr. Luke and Mr. Lawver are also officers and
directors of the Company.
Effective April 1, 1993, the Company and NuVen, entered into an
Advisory and Management Agreement for the engagement of NuVen to perform
advisory services on behalf of the Company for a 3 year term. Pursuant to such
agreement the Company is obligated to pay NuVen $120,000 annually in monthly
installments of $10,000. Under the terms of such agreement, the Company granted
NuVen an option to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock
exercisable at a price of $1.00 per share. The option vested on the date of the
agreement.
Effective February 1, 1995 the Company amended its Advisory and
Management Agreement with NuVen. The amended terms require the Company to pay
NuVen, for services rendered, $5,000 a month for an annual total of $60,000
through January 31, 1998. Due to the minimal services performed by NuVen, the
Company received a credit of $162,909 against amounts owed to NuVen and
accordingly, the Company recorded a net credit of $102,909 during fiscal 1996.
Also, the Company expensed$100,000 during fiscal year 1995, and had $144,864 due
to NuVen as of May 31, 1996.
(b) Certain Business Relationships.
There are no employees other than the executive officers disclosed
above who make, or are expected to make, significant contributions to the
business of the Registrant, the disclosure of which would be material.
(c) Indebtedness of Management.
None.

PART IV
ITEM 13. EXHIBITS AND REPORTS ON FORM 8-K.
(a) Financial Statements: The Financial Statements are included elsewhere
herein and are indexed on Page F-1, "Index to Financial Statements."
(b) 8-K Reports:
On October 9, 1992 the Registrant filed a Current Report on Form 8-K
dated September 25, 1992 reporting the sale to William J. Kitchen by the
Registrant of all assets owned by the Registrant associated with the operation
of Sunbelt, including all contracts and lease agreements necessary for its
operations (the "Sunbelt Assets"). In return for the Sunbelt Assets, Kitchen
forgave all notes and other obligations of the Registrant to Kitchen and/or all
entities owned or controlled by Kitchen, as well as Kitchen's assumption of
other miscellaneous debts of Sunbelt. Kitchen also returned to the Registrant of
98,795,000 shares of the Registrant's common stock as partial consideration for
the sale by the Registrant of the Sunbelt assets to Kitchen. The consideration
offered and accepted by the Registrant and Kitchen was the result of arms length
negotiations. The amounts were arbitrarily determined by the parties and bore no
relationship to assets, shareholders' equity, or any other recognized criteria
of value.
The sale of the trade name "Sunbelt Media Group" and all of the assets
owned by the Registrant associated with its Sunbelt operation constituted the
sale of substantially all of the Registrant's assets.
In the same Report on Form 8-K the Registrant reported that pursuant to
an Agreement to Purchase Stock dated as of August 31, 1992 (the "Sunbelt
Agreement"), Jeffrey Paul Stroud acquired 173,995,000 shares of the Registrant's
common stock (the "Stroud Shares") representing fifty-one percent (51%) of the
issued and outstanding shares of stock of the Registrant from Kitchen, a
shareholder of the Registrant who, prior to closing the Sunbelt Agreement, owned
272,790,000 shares of common stock of the Registrant (the "Kitchen Shares"),
said shares representing eighty percent (80%) of the issued and outstanding
shares of the Registrant at the time as set forth above. Under the terms of the
Agreement, Stroud also acquired from Kitchen, all other equity rights, options,
warrants and the like in and to the Registrant's shares owned by Kitchen, which
rights included Warrants representing the right to acquire an additional
162,000,000 shares of common stock of the Registrant. As partial consideration
for the sale of the Warrants and the Stroud Shares to Stroud by Kitchen, Stroud
agreed to release Kitchen from any and all claims which Stroud had against
Kitchen as a result of Stroud's investment in the registered securities of the
Registrant prior to closing the Sunbelt Agreement.
At closing of the Agreement, the Registrant's then existing Board of
Directors systematically resigned and were replaced by Jeffrey Paul Stroud,
Gregory Skufca and Patricia Schoenbaum. The newly reconstituted Board of
Directors then elected Stroud to serve as President of the Registrant, and
Gregory Skufca to serve as Secretary/Treasurer.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT FYE 1996
Board of Directors and Stockholders
THE TOEN GROUP, INC.
2 Park Plaza, Suite 470
Irvine, CA 92614
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of The Toen Group, Inc. as of May
31, 1996 and the related statements of income, retained earnings and cash flow
for the years ended May 31, 1996 and 1995. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of The Toen Group, Inc. as of May
31, 1996 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years ended
May 31, 1996 and 1995 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial
statements, the Company has incurred net losses and possesses limited liquid
resources and negative working capital as of May 31, 1996. Management's plans
regarding those matters are described in Note 2. The financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
May 31, 1996
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Business and Organization
The Company was incorporated in June, 1989 as a Colorado corporation. The
Company was primarily engaged in the acquisition, maintenance and operation of
television stations in various states through 1992.
In August 1992, the Company sold its Sunbelt Media Group ("Sunbelt") division,
operating the television stations, to a majority stockholder of the Company.
Since August 1992 through the date of this report, the Company has had no
operations and management is seeking a merger and/or sale of controlling
interest in its stock.
In September 1994 the Company's shareholders voted to effect a 1 for 1000
reverse split of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock. The split
was implemented through a merger with a newly formed Nevada corporation. The
accompanying financial statements have been retroactively restated to reflect
the merger including the change from no par value common stock to $.01 par value
common stock. In connection with the merger and reverse split, the Company's
authorized number of shares was reduced from 785,000,000 to 50,000,000.
Principals of Management Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles require 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 results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of
three months or less as cash equivalents.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method. Income taxes
are provided on all revenue and expense items, regardless of the period in which
such items are recognized for tax purposes, except for those items representing
a permanent difference between pre-tax income and taxable income. A valuation
allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that benefits resulting
from deferred tax assets will not be realized.

THE TOEN GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
May 31, 1996
Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share
Net income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income (loss)
by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each year. All per
share amounts are reported as adjusted after the merger and resulting reverse
stock split. Common stock equivalents were not considered in the loss per share
calculations as the effect would have been anti dilutive.
Issuance of Stock for Services
Shares of the Company's common stock issued for services are recorded in
accordance with APB16 at the fair market value of the stock issued or the fair
market of the services provided, whichever value is the more clearly evident.
The value of the services are typically stipulated by contract.
Reclassification of Prior Year Amounts
To enhance comparability, the fiscal 1995 financial statements have been
reclassified, where appropriate, to conform with the financial statements
presentation used in fiscal 1996.
Note 2. Going Concern
The Company has experienced recurring net losses, has limited liquid resources,
negative working capital and its primary operating subsidiary was liquidated
during fiscal year 1993. Management's intent is to keep searching for additional
sources of capital and new operating opportunities. In the interim, the Company
will keep operating with minimal overhead and key administrative functions will
be provided by NuVen Advisors, Inc., an affiliate ("NuVen"). It is estimated
that NuVen will have to contribute future financial support for the Company to
exist for the next fiscal year. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated
financial statements have been presented under the assumption the Company would
continue as a going Concern.
Note 3. Federal Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method. The Company
has net operating loss carryforwards as of May 31, 1996 of approximately
$730,000, which expire at various times from 1999 through 2009, and are
available to reduce future Federal taxable income, if any.
As a result of a change in ownership that occurred in fiscal year 1993, the
Company's use of net operating loss carryforwards may be limited by section 382
of the Internal Revenue Code until such net operating loss carryforwards expire.
Deferred tax assets have been computed using the maximum expiration terms of 13
to 5 years for federal and state tax purposes, respectively.
The deferred tax benefit applicable to the net operating loss carryforwards has
been offset by a 100% valuation reserve since it is more likely than not that
the Company will not recognize any tax benefit from the net operating loss
carryforwards.

Note 4. Capital Stock
In September 1994 the Company's shareholders voted to effect a 1 for 1000
reverse split of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock. The split
was implemented through a merger with a newly formed Nevada corporation. The
accompanying financial statements have been retroactively restated to reflect
the merger including the change from no par value common stock to $.01 par value
common stock. In connection with the merger and reverse split, the Company's
authorized number of shares was reduced from 785,000,000 to 50,000,000. There
are presently outstanding warrants to purchase 668,000 shares of common stock.
The warrants are exercisable at $5.00 per share and expired December 31, 1996.
Note 5. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company maintains its executive offices at facilities provided by NuVen
under an Advisory and Management Agreement (Note 6).
Note 6. Related Party Transactions
The Luke Family Trust (the "Trust") and J.L. Lawver Corp. (the "JLL Corp.") owns
93% and 7%, respectively, of the common stock of NuVen. Fred G. Luke, as the
trustee of the Trust, controls the Trust and Jon L. Lawver is the majority
stockholder of JLL Corp. Mr. Luke and Mr. Lawver are also officers and directors
of the Company.
Effective April 1, 1993, the Company and NuVen, entered into an Advisory and
Management Agreement for the engagement of NuVen to perform advisory services on
behalf of the Company for a 3 year term. Pursuant to such agreement the Company
is obligated to pay NuVen $120,000 annually in monthly installments of $10,000.
Under the terms of such agreement, the Company has granted NuVen an option to
purchase 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock exercisable at a price of
$1.00 per share. The option vested on the date of the agreement.
Effective February 1, 1995 the Company amended its Advisory and Management
Agreement with NuVen. The amended terms require the Company to pay NuVen, for
services rendered, $5,000 a month for an annual total of $60,000 through January
31, 1998. Due to the minimal services performed by NuVen, the Company received a
credit of $162,909 against amounts owed to NuVen and accordingly, the Company
