PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This periodic report contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to the financial condition, results of operations, business strategies, operating efficiencies or synergies, competitive positions, growth opportunities for existing products, plans and objectives of management.  Statements in this periodic report that are not historical facts are hereby identified as “forward-looking statements.”

BUSINESS

Organization and Corporate History

Pacific Ventures Group, Inc. (“Pacific Ventures” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on October 3, 1986.  Pacific Ventures operated as an insurance holding company that, through its subsidiaries, marketed and underwrote specialized property and casualty coverage in the general aviation insurance marketplace.  Historically, the Company's business has been organized into three divisions.  In 1997, after selling several of its divisions, the Company’s remaining insurance operations were placed into receivership and the Company ceased operating its insurance business.  Since the Company terminated its business operations, management has been focused on settling debts and closing outstanding operations.

Since the termination of its prior business, the Company has had no operations other than seeking an acquisition or merger to bring an operating entity into the Company.  The Company does not propose to restrict its search for a business opportunity to any particular industry or geographical area and may, therefore, engage in essentially any business in any industry.  The Company has unrestricted discretion in seeking and participating in a business opportunity, subject to the availability of such opportunities, economic conditions, and other factors.

The selection of a business opportunity in which to participate is complex and risky.  Additionally, the Company has only limited resources and may find it difficult to locate good opportunities.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to identify and acquire any business opportunity which will ultimately prove to be beneficial to the Company and its stockholders.  The Company will select any potential business opportunity based on management's business judgment.

Currently, the Company is in the process of investigating potential business ventures which, in the opinion of management, will provide a source of eventual profit to the Company.  Such involvement may take many forms, including the acquisition of an existing business or the acquisition of assets to establish subsidiary businesses.  At this time, the Company’s management has been focused on investigating whether there are merger and acquisition

4

---

activities in certain targeted industries.  To this end, management has focused on the medical and “green” energy industries.  These efforts have been focused on discussions with management in these industries and research.  

The Company is not currently conducting any business, nor has it conducted any business for several years.  Therefore, it does not possess products or services, distribution methods, competitive business positions, or major customers.  The Company does not possess any unexpired patents or trademarks and any and all of its licensing and royalty agreements from the insurance it sought to market in the past have since expired, and are not currently valid.  The Company does not employ any employees.

The activities of the Company are subject to several significant risks which arise primarily as a result of the fact that the Company has no specific business and may acquire or participate in a business opportunity based on the decision of management which potentially could act without the consent, vote, or approval of the Company's stockholders.  The risks faced by the Company are further increased as a result of its lack of resources and its inability to provide a prospective business opportunity with significant capital.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

The Company owns no properties and utilizes space on a rent-free basis from Kip Eardley, the Company’s officer and director.  This arrangement is expected to continue until such time as the Company becomes involved in a business venture which necessitates its relocation, as to which no assurances can be given.  The Company has no agreements with respect to the maintenance or future acquisition of the office facilities, however, if a successful merger/acquisition is negotiated, it is anticipated that the office of the Company will be moved to that of the acquired company.  

The Company is not actively engaged in conducting any business.  Rather, the Company is in the process of investigating potential business ventures which, in the opinion of management, will provide a source of eventual profit to the Company.  Therefore, the Company does not presently intend to invest in real estate or real estate securities, nor have we formulated any investment policies regarding investments in real estate, real estate mortgages, or securities of or interests in persons engaged in real estate activities.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Plan of Operation.

The Company is in the process of investigating potential business ventures which, in the opinion of management, will provide a source of eventual profit to the Company.  Such involvement may take many forms, including the acquisition of an existing business or the acquisition of assets to establish subsidiary businesses.  The Company’s management does not expect to remain involved as management of any acquired business.

As the Company possesses limited funds, the Company will be extremely limited in its attempts to locate potential business situations for investigation.  Mr. Eardley intends to commence, on a limited basis, the process of investigating possible merger and acquisition candidates, and believes that the Company’s status as a publicly-held corporation will enhance its ability to locate such potential business ventures.  No assurance can be given as to when the manager may locate suitable business opportunities and such opportunities may be difficult to locate; however, the Company intends to actively search for potential business ventures for the foreseeable future.  

Management anticipates that due to its lack of funds, and the limited amount of its resources, the Company may be restricted to participation in only one potential business venture.  This lack of diversification should be considered a substantial risk because it will not permit the Company to offset potential losses from one venture against gains from another.

Business opportunities, if any arise, are expected to become available to the Company principally from the personal contacts of its officers and directors.  While it is not expected that the Company will engage professional firms specializing in business acquisitions or reorganizations, such firms may be retained if funds become available in the future, and if deemed advisable.  Opportunities may thus become available from professional advisors, securities broker-dealers, venture capitalists, members of the financial community, and other sources of unsolicited proposals.  In certain circumstances, the Company may agree to pay a finder’s fee or other form of compensation, including perhaps one-time cash payments, payments based upon a percentage of revenues or sales volume, and/or payments involving the issuance of securities, for services provided by persons who submit a business opportunity in which the Company shall decide to participate, although no contracts or arrangements of this nature presently exist.  The Company is unable to predict at this time the cost of locating a suitable business opportunity.

The analysis of business opportunities will be undertaken by or under the supervision of the Company’s management, none of whom is a professional analyst and none of whom have significant general business experience.  Among the factors which management will consider in analyzing potential business opportunities are the available technical, financial and managerial resources; working capital and financial requirements; the history of operation, if any; future prospects; the nature of present and anticipated competition; potential for further research, development or exploration; growth and expansion potential; the perceived public recognition or acceptance of products or services; name identification, and other relevant factors.  

8

---

It is not possible at present to predict the exact matter in which the Company may participate in a business opportunity.  Specific business opportunities will be reviewed and, based upon such review, the appropriate legal structure or method of participation will be decided upon by management.  Such structures and methods may include, without limitation, leases, purchase and sale agreements, licenses, joint ventures; and may involve merger, consolidation or reorganization.  The Company may act directly or indirectly through an interest in a partnership, corporation or reorganization.  However, it is most likely that any acquisition of a business venture the Company would make would be by conducting a reorganization involving the issuance of the Company’s restricted securities.  Such a reorganization may involve a merger (or combination pursuant to state corporate statutes, where one of the entities dissolves or is absorbed by the other), or it may occur as a consolidation, where a new entity is formed and the Company and such other entity combine assets in the new entity.  A reorganization may also occur, directly or indirectly, through subsidiaries, and there is no assurance that the Company would be the surviving entity.  Any such reorganization could result in loss of control of a majority of the shares. The Company’s present director may be required to resign in connection with a reorganization.  

The Company may choose to enter into a venture involving the acquisition of or merger with a company which does not need substantial additional capital but desires to establish a public trading market of its securities.  Such a company may desire to consolidate its operations with the Company through a merger, reorganization, asset acquisition, or other combination, in order to avoid possible adverse consequences of undertaking its own public offering.  (Such consequences might include expense, time delays or loss of voting control.)  In the event of such a merger, the Company may be required to issue significant additional shares, and it may be anticipated that control over the Company’s affairs may be transferred to others.

As part of their investigation of acquisition possibilities, Mr. Eardley may meet with executive officers of the business and its personnel; inspect its facilities; obtain independent analysis or verification of the information provided, and conduct other reasonable measures, to the extent permitted by the Company’s limited resources and management’s limited expertise.  Generally, the Company intends to analyze and make a determination based upon all available information without reliance upon any single factor as controlling.  

In all likelihood, the Company’s management will be inexperienced in the areas in which potential businesses will be investigated and in which the Company may make an acquisition or investment.  Thus, it may become necessary for the Company to retain consultants or outside professional firms to assist management in evaluating potential investments.  The Company can give no assurance that it will be able to find suitable consultants or managers.  The Company has no policy regarding the use of consultants, however, if management, in its discretion, determines that it is in the best interests of the Company, management may seek consultants to review potential merger or acquisition candidates. There are currently no contracts or agreements between any consultant and any companies that are searching for “shell” companies with which to merge.

9

---

It may be anticipated that the investigation of specific business opportunities and the negotiation, drafting and execution of relevant agreements, disclosure documents and other instruments will require substantial management time and attention, and substantial costs for accountants, attorneys and others. Should a decision thereafter be made not to participate in a specific business opportunity, it is likely that costs already expended would not be recoverable.  It is likely, in the event a transaction should eventually fail to be consummated, for any reason, that the costs incurred by the Company would not be recoverable.  The Company’s officers and directors are entitled to reimbursement for all expenses incurred in their investigation of possible business ventures on behalf of the Company, and no assurance can be given that if the Company has available funds they will not be depleted in such expenses.  

Based on current economic and regulatory conditions, management believes that it is possible, if not probable, for a company like the Company, without assets or many liabilities, to negotiate a merger or acquisition with a viable private company.  The opportunity arises principally because of the high legal and accounting fees and the length of time associated with the registration process of “going public”. However, should any of these conditions change, it is very possible that there would be little or no economic value for anyone taking over control of the Company.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of December 31, 2012, the Company had $383 in cash and $44,795 liabilities.  The Company has only incidental ongoing expenses primarily associated with maintaining its corporate status and maintaining the Company’s reporting obligations to the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Current management has indicated a willingness to help support the Company’s ongoing expenses through loans to the Company.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, the Company had $31,480 in operating expenses related to maintaining its corporate status and paying accounting and legal fees.  Management anticipates continuing expenses related to investigating business opportunities and legal and accounting costs.  For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company had a net loss of $32,008 compared to a loss of $9,379 for the year ended December 31, 2011.  We would anticipate losses to be in line with 2012 numbers in the future until a business opportunity is identified.

Since the Company ceased operations, it has not generated significant revenue, and it is unlikely that any revenue will be generated until the Company locates a business opportunity with which to acquire or merge.  Management of the Company will be investigating various business opportunities.  These efforts may cost the Company not only out of pocket expenses for its management but also expenses associated with legal and accounting costs.  There can be no guarantee that the Company will receive any benefits from the efforts of management to locate business opportunities.

Management does not anticipate employing any employees in the future until a merger or acquisition can be accomplished.  Management will continue to rely on outside consultants to assist in its corporate filing requirements.

ITEM 9A(T).  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based on that evaluation, our President and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report are designed  to achieve their objectives and were effective such that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.

The evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive and financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based upon that evaluation, our management, including our principal executive and financial officers, concluded that the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act).  Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

 

11

---

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

Our management, with the participation of an outside CPA (not the company's auditor), evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012.  In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework.  Further, our management considered the lack of operations and revenue, the limited cash on hand, the limited transactions which occur on a monthly basis and the use of an outside CPA firm which reconciles all financial transactions prior to being delivered to our auditors.  Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that, as of December 31, 2012, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Security and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 13.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Transactions with Management and Others.

We believe that all purchases from or transactions with affiliated parties were on terms and at prices substantially similar to those available from unaffiliated third parties.

For 2012 and 2011, the sole officer and director of the Company has provided office space at no cost to the Company.

From September 30, 2011, to December 31, 2012, loans from Capital Builders converted into promissory notes have totaled $39,235.  All of the money was used to pay operating expenses.  All of the notes accrue interest at 2% annually until repaid.  Accrued interest on these notes at December 31, 2012, was $583.

Between August 2005 and September 2006, a shareholder of the Company advanced $50,000 to the Company.  On October 23, 2006, the Company entered into a Debt Settlement Agreement with the shareholder whereby 100% of the debt was exchanged for 1,000,000 series E Preferred Shares.  Each Series E Share has voting rights equal to 10 shares of common stock, is not convertible into any other class of stock of the Company and has no preference to dividends or liquidation rights.

Independence of Management

Except as set forth above, there were no material transactions, or series of similar transactions, during our Company’s last fiscal year, or any currently proposed transactions, or series of similar transactions, to which our Company or any of our subsidiaries was or is to be a party, in which the amount involved exceeded the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets at year-end for the last three completed fiscal years and in which any director, executive officer or any security holder who is known to us to own of record or beneficially more than five percent of any class of our common stock, or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons, had an interest.

We do not consider our director to be independent given Mr. Eardley’s role as an officer of the Company and shareholder.

Transactions with Promoters

There have been no transactions between the Company and promoters during the last fiscal year.

Note 1:  Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization – Pacific Ventures Group, Inc. (the “Company” or “Pacific Ventures”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on October 3, 1986, under the name AOA Corporation.  On November 12, 1991, the Company changed its name to American Eagle Group, Inc.  On October 22, 2012, the Company changed its name to Pacific Ventures Group, Inc.

Reorganization, Development Stage Company – The Company is in the development stage since it is not currently conducting any business, nor has it conducted any business since current management was appointed in the reactivation on September 19, 2005. Since that time, the Company has been investigating potential business ventures which, in the opinion of management, will provide a source of eventual profit.  Such involvement may take many forms, including the acquisition of an existing business or the acquisition of assets to establish subsidiary businesses.

Going Concern – The Company’s financial statements have been prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The Company has not generated any revenue for several years and the sole officer and director of the Company has provided capital to pay prior and current obligations.  The Company requires additional capital to continue its limited operations.  Furthermore, the Company’s officer and director serves without compensation.  The Company assumes that these arrangements and the availability of future capital sources will continue into the future, but no assurance thereof can be given.  A change in these circumstances would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Income Taxes

The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in ASC 740-20, “Accounting for Income Taxes.”  Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse.  An allowance against deferred tax assets is recorded when it is more likely than not that such tax benefits will not be realized.

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures 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.

F-6

---

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all highly-liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Revenue Recognition

The Company plans to recognize revenue when the following four conditions are present: (1) persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, (2) the price is fixed or determinable, (3) delivery has occurred or services are rendered, and (4) collection is reasonably assured.

Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Income (Loss) per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented.  The Company has no potentially dilutive securities, in 2012 and 2011.  Accordingly, basic and dilutive loss per common share are the same.

Fair Value

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values because of the short-term maturity of these financial instruments.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has reviewed recently issued, but not yet adopted, accounting standards in order to determine their effects, if any, on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows.  Based on that review, the Company believes that none of these pronouncements will have a significant effect on its financial statements.

Note 2:  Income Taxes

Due to losses at December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had no income tax liability.  At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had available unused operating loss carry forwards of approximately $90,693 and $58,685, respectively, which may be applied against future taxable income and which expire in various years through 2032.

The amount of and ultimate realization of the benefits from the operating loss carry forwards for income tax purposes is dependent, in part, upon the tax laws in effect, the future earnings of the Company and other future events, the effects of which cannot be determined at this time.  Because of the uncertainty surrounding the realization of the loss carry forwards, the Company has established a valuation allowance equal to the tax effect of the loss carry forwards and, therefore, no deferred tax asset has been recognized for the loss carry forwards.  The net deferred

tax assets are approximately $33,828 and $21,889 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, with an offsetting valuation allowance of the same amount resulting in a change in the valuation allowance of approximately $11,939 during the year ended December 31, 2012.

Components of income tax are as follows:

A reconciliation of the provision for income tax expense with the expected income tax computed by applying the federal statutory income tax rate to income before provision for income taxes as follows:

		Years Ended December 31
		2012		2011
Income tax computed at
Federal statutory tax rate of 34%	$	(10,883)	$	(3,189)
State taxes (net of federal benefit)3.3% for 2012 and 2011		(1,056)		(308)
Deferred taxes and other		11,939		3,497
	$	-	$	-

The Company has no tax positions at December 31, 2012 and 2011, for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility.  The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses.  During the period ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company recognized no interest and penalties.  The Company had no accruals for interest and penalties at December 31, 2012 and 2011.  Under the rules of the Internal Revenue Service, the Company's tax returns for the previous three years remain open for examination.

Series E Preferred Stock was authorized October 2006 for up to 1,000,000 shares.  Under the rights, preferences and privileges of the Series E Preferred Stock, the holders of the preferred stock receive a 10 to 1 voting preference over common stock.  Accordingly, for every share of Series E Preferred Stock held, the holder received the voting rights equal to 10 shares of common stock.  The Series E preferred Stock is not convertible into any other class of stock of the Company and has no preference to dividends or liquidation rights.  As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, there were 1,000,000 Series E Preferred shares outstanding.

Common Stock – On October 22, 2012, the Company filed a Restated and Amended Certificate of Incorporation increasing the authorized common stock to 100,000,000 shares, par value $.001 per share.  Effective November 8, 2012, there was reverse split of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company on a basis of fifty (50) to one (1).  All fractional shares were rounded up to the nearest whole share, with no shareholder falling below 100 shares.  There were 43,089 shares issued for rounding.  The effects of which have been included in these financial statements as if the split had occurred at the beginning of the first period presented.
