ECO INNOVATION GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2021
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Organization
Eco Innovation Group, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “Eco Innovation Group”), was incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 5, 2001 under the name of Dig-It Underground, Inc. and operated as an underground cable contractor. On September 29, 2008, the Company acquired a partial interest in the high-end beauty salon business of Haydin Group Enterprises of Texas and discontinued its cable installation business. On September 1, 2011, the Company acquired a partial interest in the art licensing and sales business of Get Down Art, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company. On August 30, 2012, the Company acquired the remaining outstanding interests of Haydin Group Enterprises through a share exchange agreement. Concurrently, the Company discontinued its business with Get Down Art, LLC and resolved to unwind that acquisition. On January 5, 2016, the Company entered the natural healing and chiropractic business in Texas by acquiring Expressions Property Limited, LP, a Texas limited partnership, and Expressions Chiropractic and Rehab Center, PA, a Texas professional association, pursuant to share exchange agreements. Effective June 30, 2018, the Company terminated its beauty salon business and natural healing and chiropractic business by terminating and unwinding the shares exchange agreements entered into on August 30, 2012 with Haydin Group Enterprises and January 5, 2016 with Expressions Property Limited and Expressions Chiropractic and Rehab Center. At the same time, the Company began a business line focusing on the development of an affordable fire, hurricane and earthquake resilient steel building framing system. On August 19, 2019, the Company incorporated Steel Hemp Homes Inc. in the state of California as a wholly owned subsidiary to run the steel building frame business as a separate division. 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 corporate name to Eco Innovation Group, Inc.; and the change of the Company’s trading symbol to ECOX. The reverse split of the Company’s common stock was effective August 29, 2018.
On February 20, 2020, the Company increased its authorized shares to
with a par value $ , and preferred shares were maintained at authorized.
On February 28, 2020, our current CEO and controlling Stockholder, Julia Otey-Raudes, took over management and control of the company, initiating a new business plan and winding down the previous business. 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, which represent all of the authorized and outstanding Series A Preferred Stock and a voting interest of approximately 94% of the Company’s outstanding voting stock.
Under its business plan implemented in February 2020, the Company is an innovation incubator platform devoted to globally important paradigm shifts in technology, sustainable and carbon negative products development and practical deployment worldwide.
Accounting policies and procedures are listed below. The Company has adopted a December 31 year-end.
Basis of Presentation
The Company has prepared the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.
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.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less as cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2021, December 31, 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.
Basic Earnings Per Share (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 under outstanding convertible debt and outstanding common stock warrants
Long-Lived Assets
The Company’s long-lived assets, including intangibles, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. The Company assesses recoverability of the asset by comparing the undiscounted future net cash flows expected to result from the asset to its carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds the undiscounted future net cash flows of the asset, an impairment loss is measured and recognized. An impairment loss is measured as the difference between the net book value and the fair value of the long-lived asset. During the quarter ended June 30, 2021, and the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company evaluated long lived assets for impairment determined no impairment was necessary.
9 |
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.
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 price 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:

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 June 30, 2021, the Company has not adopted a Stock Option Plan and has not issued any options.
10 |
Property, Plant and Equipment
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.
Revenue Recognition
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 f lows 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.
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 of Eco-Gen.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
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 2. GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S LIQUIDITY PLANS
The accompanying unaudited 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 since inception and an accumulated deficit at June 30, 2021. 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.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Organizational History of the Company and Overview
Financial information contained in this report and in our financial statements is stated in United States dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.
In this Quarterly Report, unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars and all references to “common shares” refer to the common shares in our capital stock.
As used in this Quarterly Report and unless otherwise indicated, the terms “we”, “us”, “our” and “the Company” mean Eco Innovation Group, Inc.
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.
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. |
16 |
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
JouleBox® Power Station Contract Manufacturing Agreement
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 has contracted to 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. Our CEO and controlling Stockholder, Julia Otey-Raudes, owns 20.66% of Eco-Gen’s outstanding voting stock as of the date of this quarterly filing.
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. Pursuant to an addendum to this Eco-Gen agreement dated August 26, 2020, Eco-Gen is required to advance payment to the Company prior to the Company’s performance of these services with relation to Eco-Gen’s clients. The Company entered into this addendum to the agreement with Eco-Gen due to the credit risk that the Company perceived with relation to Eco-Gen’s clients, upon whose business Eco-Gen, and therefore the Company, are dependent. The Company records Eco-Gen revenue as earned, pursuant to the addendum to the Eco-Gen agreement.
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.
Eco-Gen is a technology development and intellectual property holding company with no full-time employees. Eco-Gen’s management does not possess the time or resources to enter into the outsourcing agreements necessary to commercialize the company’s technology on their own, and as such, we understand that our services answer a specific need for Eco-Gen. With no full-time employees, Eco-Gen outsources the majority of its service needs. Our business model and service strategy are intended to meet that need, for Eco-Gen and for all of our customers.

With relation to Eco-Gen’s primary contracted technology, the JouleBox® Power Station, 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 for the production of the JouleBox® Power Station must be pre-paid by Eco-Gen, we anticipate that none of the proceeds of this Offering will be necessary to allow the Company to perform services related to contract manufacturing of the JouleBox® Power Station under the contract with Eco-Gen. We expect our work with Eco-Gen to be focused primarily on the JouleBox® Power Station over the next 12 months following the Offering. Eco-Gen has a ten-year operating history and approximately 200 shareholders.
Our business with and anticipated revenue from Eco-Gen is dependent upon our ability to perform under our agreement with Eco-Gen, and dependent on both the functionality of Eco-Gen’s JouleBox® Power Station technology and the ability of Eco-Gen’s customers to pay Eco-Gen. According to Eco-Gen, Eco-Gen’s primary clients and business are with purchasers who have contracted with Eco-Gen for delivery of Eco-Gen’s products, where the Company will provide for the manufacture of those products. As such, our business and anticipated revenue from our agreement with Eco-Gen is completely dependent upon Eco-Gen’s business and anticipated revenue from Eco-Gen’s customers. Primarily, according to Eco-Gen, Eco-Gen’s business is dependent upon two clients who have contracted for the purchase and delivery of Eco-Gen’s products: a for-profit municipal enterprise dedicated to regional economic development and wholly owned and funded by a municipality in Puerto Rico, and a green technology distributor located in California, with total assets of $4,396,456, including current assets (cash and inventory) of $2,851,710, and year-to-date net revenues of $1,368,707, as of December 31, 2020. For specific risks related to our business with Eco-Gen, see the risk factor on page 17 titled “We face risks associated with our business with Eco-Gen Energy, Inc. that could harm our financial condition and results of operations.”
In relation to our agreement with Eco-Gen, Eco-Gen represents to us that Eco-Gen has received two purchase commitments from the above-mentioned customers related to the JouleBox® Power Station, for $13,749,875 from the Puerto Rican regional development enterprise, and $6,050,000 from the California green technology distributor, representing total current JouleBox® Power Station purchase commitments of $19,799,875. The purchase order in the amount of $13,749,875 was made on November 2, 2020, is for a 2 megawatt generator, and calls for a 50% down payment with the purchase order, and the balance due upon delivery of the 2 megawatt JouleBox® Power Station, with funds held in escrow by a California lawyer acting as escrow agent. The purchase commitment in the amount of $6,050,000 is in the form of a joint venture agreement, dated July 23, 2020, between Eco-Gen and the California green technology distributor, where that distributor will pay for the purchase of the joint venture’s JouleBox® Power Station as its consideration for the joint venture.
Under our agreement with Eco-Gen, these JouleBox® Power Station purchases will initiate our corresponding provision of services to Eco-Gen under our Master Outsourcing Contract Manufacturing Agreement with Eco-Gen, as we bear responsibility to cause those products to be manufactured for delivery to Eco-Gen’s customers. In the third quarter of 2020, Eco-Gen paid the Company $100,000 in cash for services towards fulfillment of these orders, which are service fees considered earned and non-refundable under the Eco-Gen agreement. As of the date of this 10k report, all services paid for by Eco-Gen have been performed pursuant to the relevant purchase orders. However, since the first phase of the contract is not complete, the Company has chosen to take conservative position of recording the deposit received as deferred revenue.
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
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).
18 |
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.
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 Licensing Agreement
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.
The Company is active in negotiating additional licensing and joint ventures in the areas of electrical technologies, green energy, energy efficiency, innovative heat exchange technologies designed to reduce heating and cool costs for residential and commercial buildings, pathogen detection and mitigation, and green housing. At this time, these remain unsigned and are in various stages of negotiations.

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
Eco Innovation Group, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “Eco Innovation Group”), was incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 5, 2001 under the name of Dig-It Underground, Inc. and operated as an underground cable contractor. On September 29, 2008, the Company acquired a partial interest in the high-end beauty salon business of Haydin Group Enterprises of Texas and discontinued its cable installation business. On September 1, 2011, the Company acquired a partial interest in the art licensing and sales business of Get Down Art, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company. On August 30, 2012, the Company acquired the remaining outstanding interests of Haydin Group Enterprises through a share exchange agreement. Concurrently, the Company discontinued its business with Get Down Art, LLC and resolved to unwind that acquisition. On January 5, 2016, the Company entered the natural healing and chiropractic business in Texas by acquiring Expressions Property Limited, LP, a Texas limited partnership, and Expressions Chiropractic and Rehab Center, PA, a Texas professional association, pursuant to share exchange agreements. Effective June 30, 2018, the Company terminated its beauty salon business and natural healing and chiropractic business by terminating and unwinding the shares exchange agreements entered into on August 30, 2012 with Haydin Group Enterprises and January 5, 2016 with Expressions Property Limited and Expressions Chiropractic and Rehab Center. At the same time, the Company began a business line focusing on the development of an affordable fire, hurricane and earthquake resilient steel building framing system. On August 19, 2019, the Company incorporated Steel Hemp Homes Inc. in the state of California as a wholly owned subsidiary to run the steel building frame business as a separate division. 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 corporate name to Eco Innovation Group, Inc.; and the change of the Company’s trading symbol to ECOX. The reverse split of the Company’s common stock was effective August 29, 2018.
On February 28, 2020, our current CEO and controlling Stockholder, Julia Otey-Raudes, took over management and control of the company, initiating a new business plan and winding down the previous business. 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, which represent all of the authorized and outstanding Series A Preferred Stock and a voting interest of approximately 94% of the Company’s outstanding voting stock.
The Company is 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.

The Company had cash flows from financing activities of $35,924 during the six months ended June 30, 2020 related to proceeds from convertible debentures
Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion on our annual consolidated financial statements, meaning that there is substantial doubt we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital. Our only sources for cash at this time are investments by others in this offering, selling our products and loans from our director. We must raise cash to implement our plan and stay in business.
Management believes that current trends toward lower capital investment in start-up companies pose the most significant challenge to the Company’s success over the next year and in future years. Additionally, with the January 15, 2021 effectiveness of our registration statement on Form S-1, as of January 15, 2021, the Company is obligated to meet all the financial disclosure and reporting requirements associated with being a publicly reporting company. The Company’s management will have to spend additional time on policies and procedures to make sure it is compliant with various regulatory requirements, especially that of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. This additional corporate governance time required of management could limit the amount of time management has to implement is business plan and impede the speed of its operations.
Limited Operating History; Need for Additional Capital
There is no historical financial information about us upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. As our business model and strategy were reinvigorated with our February 2020 change in control and new management, we are in a start-up stage of operations, and in general have generated limited revenues since our inception. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in our business operations. Our success and performance are subject to all the normal risks inherent in the development of a new line of business, including our limited capital resources and the strength of our business partners’ business and financial positions, and the market for our green technologies.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company's financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. A change in managements’ estimates or assumptions could have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations during the period in which such changes occurred. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our financial statements reflect all adjustments that management believes are necessary for the fair presentation of their financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented.
Item 3. Quantitative And Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information called for by this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, in a manner that allows timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
