Item 1. Business
Company Background
We were incorporated on April 5, 2002 under the laws of the State of Nevada as “Aztek Ventures Inc.” Effective November 13, 2007, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to change our name from “Aztek Ventures Inc.” to “Genesis Uranium Corp.” Effective April 21, 2008, we amended our Articles of Incorporation to change our name from “Genesis Uranium Corp.” to “Vault Technology Inc.” to reflect the change in our business focus beyond solely that of uranium exploration. Effective July 10, 2009, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to change our name from “Vault Technology, Inc.” to “Modern Renewable Technologies, Inc.” (“Modern”). On May 27, 2011, Modern, merged with Eco Ventures Group, Inc., as discussed below. On July 18, 2013, the Company declared a 15-for-1 reverse stock split for all of its common and preferred stock. All references herein to the number of shares outstanding and per-share amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect this reverse stock split. The Board of Directors of Eco Ventures, Inc. (the “Company”) has approved a change of its name to Clear TV Ventures, Inc. effective at the close of business on July 25, 2013.
Merger with Eco Ventures Group, Inc.
On May 27, 2011, Modern, merged with Eco Ventures Group, Inc., (“Eco Ventures- Florida”) a privately held company formed on November 9, 2010 (date of inception) under the laws of the State of Florida (the “Merger Agreement” or the “Merger”). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, shareholders of Eco Ventures - Florida exchanged an aggregate of seventy percent (70%) of Eco Ventures – Florida’s issued and outstanding capital stock in exchange for 102,500 (including 8,333 shares issued to consultants and 6,333 shares issued to officers) restricted shares of Modern’s authorized but unissued capital stock. As a condition to the Merger Agreement, 28,144 shares of Modern is to be issued to the Holders of the Registrant’s outstanding convertible debentures. The Merger was consummated on June 1, 2011.
In connection with the Merger, Modern changed its name to Eco Ventures Group, Inc. (“Eco Ventures – Nevada” or the “Registrant”). The transaction has been accounted for in substance as a reverse acquisition of the Registrant by Eco Ventures – Florida since the stockholders of Eco Ventures – Florida owned a majority of the Registrant’s voting power immediately following the Merger Transaction and Eco Ventures – Florida’s management has assumed operational, management and governance control. For accounting purposes, Eco Ventures – Florida shall be the accounting acquirer and or the surviving entity. Accordingly, the historical financial statements are those of Eco Ventures – Florida, the accounting acquirer, immediately following the consummation of the reverse merger.

Upon completion of the Merger Transaction on June 1, 2011, our name was changed to Eco Ventures Group, Inc. As a result, our OTC Bulletin Board symbol became “EVGI” as of June 6, 2011.
Company business:
During the two years ended August 31 2013, we operated as Eco Ventures Group, Inc. (“EVG”). Our focus during these two years and through June 24, 2014 was on the production of advanced biodiesel from recovered cooking oils and oil rich plants. One of divisions specialized in the extraction of precious metals from ore bodies and reclaimed mine tailings. We never generated any revenue during the period we operated as Eco Ventures Group, Inc.
The Company’s business operations and facilities through March 31, 2013 was located in Groveland, FL. In 2011 EVG entered into to an exclusive strategic joint venture with Raptor Technology Group, Inc. of Groveland, FL to commercialize patent pending and proprietary technologies in the fields of efficient precious metals recovery. EVG and Raptor have completed construction of a 5,000 concentrated ton per year mineral recovery facility. However, the extraction process was determined to be not economically viable and the Company decided to suspend operations on its mineral extraction division and began focuses its efforts on the Eco Energy Group division.
EVG also entered into an agreement for Raptor to build a biodiesel facility in Groveland utilizing their technology and knowhow. This technology makes use of a lower cost feedstock than the current industry standard. EVG is in the process of bringing these biodiesel production technologies to market. The Company was not able to bring the technology to market and on March 31, 2013, with the consent of its landlord, abandoned the facilities,
On June 26, 2014, EVG merged with Petlife Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (See Note 13 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, for a further discussion on the terms and conditions of this merger).
Our principal offices are located at 28562 Oso Parkway, Unit D, Rancho Santa Margarita, CA 92688, and our telephone number is (949) 858-5836. Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board System under the symbol “EVGI.” We currently do not have a corporate website.
OUR BUSINESS GROUPS
During the period from June 2011 through June 2014, our business operations have been internally divided into two working groups, neither of which are independent legal entities. To date, we have not generated any revenues from either business group.
ECO ENERGY GROUP
Eco Energy Group (EEG) was a business group of EVG which was dedicated to the cost-effective production of biodiesel from multiple low-cost feedstocks by using bio refinery technologies. EEG is near completion of its initial 3.6 million gallon facility in Groveland, FL, which processes biofuels from oil-rich plants and recovered cooking oils. EVG’s batch reactor will initially run on recycled cooking oils as a feedstock, termed “yellow grease.” The Company attempted to find a secure reliable and cost-effective supplies of this feedstock. EVG needed to obtain additional financing in order to complete this facility and make it operational. The Company did find the necessary funding and ceased the indicated operations in 2014

Our initial earnings, if any, will likely be retained to finance our growth. At the present time, we are not party to any agreement that would limit our ability to pay dividends.
The Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with prices of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current prices and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system). Our shares are currently subject to the penny stock rules.
- 7 -
A purchaser is purchasing penny stock which limits the ability to sell the stock. The classification of penny stock makes it more difficult for a broker-dealer to sell the stock into a secondary market, which makes it more difficult for a purchaser to liquidate his/her investment. Any broker-dealer engaged by the purchaser for the purpose of selling his or her shares in us will be subject to Rules 15g-1 through 15g-10 of the Securities and Exchange Act. Rather than creating a need to comply with those rules, some broker-dealers will refuse to attempt to sell penny stock.
The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission, which:
•
|
contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading;
|
•
|
contains a description of the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended;
|
•
|
contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including “bid” and “ask” prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask prices;
|
•
|
contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;
|
•
|
defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading penny stocks; and
|
•
|
contains such other information and is in such form (including language, type, size and format) as the Securities and Exchange Commission shall require by rule or regulation.
|
•
|
The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, to the customer:
|
•
|
the bid and offer quotations for the penny stock;
|
•
|
the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction;
|
•
|
the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and
|
•
|
monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account.
|
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock. Thus, stockholders may have difficulty selling their securities.

2011 Incentive Stock Option Plan

The 2011 Plan provides that awards may be granted for up to 44,444 shares of the Company’s common share (subject to adjustment in case of a subdivision of our outstanding shares of Common Stock, recapitalization, stock dividend, or other change in our corporate structure that affects our Common Stock).

Introduction and Plan of Operation
The following discussion updates our plan of operation for the 2014 Fiscal Year. The discussion also summarizes the results of our operations for the period from September 1, 2011 through August 31, 2013.
Merger Agreements
On May 27, 2011, the Company, formerly known as Modern Renewable Technologies, Inc., (“Modern”), a Nevada Corporation, merged with Eco Ventures Group, Inc. (“Eco Ventures - Florida”), a privately held company formed on November 9, 2010 (date of inception) under the laws of the State of Florida (the “Merger Agreement” or the “Merger”). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, shareholders of Eco Ventures - Florida exchanged an aggregate of seventy percent (70%) of Eco Ventures – Florida’s issued and outstanding capital stock in exchange for 102,500 (including 8,333 shares issued to consultants and 6,333 shares issued to officers) restricted shares of Modern’s authorized but unissued capital stock. The Merger was consummated on June 1, 2011.
- 10 -
In connection with the Merger, Modern changed its name to Eco Ventures Group, Inc. (“Eco Ventures – Nevada” or the “Registrant”). The transaction has been accounted for in substance as a reverse acquisition of the Registrant by Eco Ventures– Florida since the stockholders of Eco Ventures – Florida owned a majority of the Registrant’s voting power immediately following the Merger Transaction and Eco Ventures – Florida’s management has assumed operational, management and governance control. For accounting purposes, Eco Ventures – Florida shall be the accounting acquirer and or the surviving entity. Accordingly, the historical financial statements are those of Eco Ventures – Florida, the accounting acquirer, immediately following the consummation of the reverse merger.
On April 18, 2014., Eco Ventures Group, Inc. (“EVGI”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Petlife Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Nevada Corporation (“PPI”). Under the terms of the merger, each 15 shares of EVGI common stock will exchanged for one share of PPI’s common stock. Each share of EVGI preferred stock will be exchanged for one share of PVI preferred stock.
Plan of Operations
From September 1, 2011 through August 31, 2013, we experienced the negative effects of the financial markets upheaval, which made capital acquisition extremely difficult. Due to our lack of funding and resources, we have been dormant Since August 31, 2013. As indicated above, on June 26, 2014, we became Petlife Pharmaceuticals, Inc. It is our intention to acquire Petlife Corporation.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since November 9, 2010 (date of inception), we have been in the development stage and have to date received no revenue from the extraction of gold or other precious metals or other business operations, we have relied on funds received in connection with our equity and debt offerings to finance our ongoing operations. We have experienced net losses since inception, and we expect we will continue to incur losses for the next year. As of the date of this filing, we do not have any available external source of funds. We require additional capital in the near term to maintain our current operations. Although we are actively seeking additional equity and debt financing, such financing may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all.
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. Since our inception on November 9, 2010, we have not generated revenue and have incurred net loss. Accordingly, we have not generated cash flow from operations and have primarily relied upon loans from officers, promissory notes and advances from related parties, and equity financing to fund our operations. The report of our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm include an explanatory paragraph indicating that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We currently have no cash on hand. Accordingly, we do not have sufficient cash resources or current assets to pay our obligations, and we have been meeting many of our obligations through the issuance of our common stock to our employees, consultants and advisors as payment for goods and services. Considering the foregoing, we are dependent on additional financing to continue our operations. Our significant capital requirements for the foreseeable future include development and operational costs, and our corporate overhead expenses.
We are actively seeking additional equity or debt financing. However, there can be no assurance that funds required during the next twelve months or thereafter will be available from external sources. The lack of additional capital resulting from the inability to generate cash flow from operations or to raise capital from external sources would force us to substantially curtail or cease operations and would, therefore, have a material adverse effect on our business. Further, there can be no assurance that any such required funds, if available, will be available on attractive terms or that they will not have a significantly dilutive effect on our existing shareholders. All of these factors have been exacerbated by the extremely unsettled credit and capital markets presently existing.
Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $137,097 for the year ended August 31, 2013, as compared to net cash used of $400,119 in prior year’s operating activities. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in overall activity in 2013 as comared to the activity incurred in 2012.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
We had no investing activities during the year ended August 31, 2013. During the year ended August 31, 2012, we used net cash in investing activities of $36,971 for the procurement of property and equipment by Eco Ventures – Florida.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
During the year ended August 31, 2013, we received net cash provided by financing activities totaling $137,030 of which $30,000 was from the issuance of 5,714 shares of our common stock, $7,030 in advances from a related party and $100,000 from a unrelated third party evidenced by a promissory note.
During the year ended August 31, 2012, we received net cash provided by financing activities of $381,250 primarily from sale of our Series B preferred stock of $50,000, common stock subscription of $50,000, proceeds from related party advances of $213,650 and proceeds from related party notes payable of $67,600. During the period from November 9, 2010 (date of inception) through August 31, 2011, we received proceeds from sale of our Series A preferred stock of $250,000, proceeds from related party advances of $48,604 and contributed capital by the majority owned subsidiary of $67,750.

Going Concern
The accompanying 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. The Company is a development stage entity, has not established any sources of revenue to cover its operating expenses from November 9, 2010 (date of inception) through August 31, 2013. In addition, the Company has incurred deficit accumulated during development stage of $4,277,950 and used $137,097 in cash for operating activities for the year ended August 31, 2013. The Company will engage in very limited activities without incurring any significant liabilities that must be satisfied in cash until a source of funding is secured. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company’s ability to continue existence is dependent upon commencing its planned operations, management’s ability to develop and achieve profitable operations and/or upon obtaining additional financing to carry out its planned business. The Company intends to fund its business development, acquisition endeavors and operations through equity and debt financing arrangements.
There can be no assurance that any additional financings will be available to the Company on satisfactory terms and conditions, if at all. In the event the Company is unable to continue as a going concern, it may elect or be required to seek protection from its creditors by filing a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or may be subject to an involuntary petition in bankruptcy. To date, management has not considered this alternative, nor does management view it as a likely occurrence.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability or classification of asset-carrying amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Significant Accounting Policies
Financial Reporting Release No. 60, published by the SEC, recommends that all companies include a discussion of critical accounting policies used in the preparation of their financial statements. While all these significant accounting policies impact our consolidated financial condition and results of operations, we view certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
We believe that given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause a material effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented in this report.
General
The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which require management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net revenue, if any, and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Senior management has discussed the development, selection and disclosure of these estimates with the Board of Directors. Management believes that the accounting estimates employed and the resulting balances are reasonable; however, actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
An accounting policy is deemed to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, if different estimates reasonably could have been used, or if changes in the estimate that are reasonably possible could materially impact the consolidated financial statements. Management believes the following critical accounting policies reflect the significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
- 14 -
Development Stage Company
The Company is considered to be a development stage entity, as defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 915.
Going Concern
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of operations. If we were not to continue as a going concern, we would likely not be able to realize on our assets at values comparable to the carrying value or the fair value estimates reflected in the balances set out in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. There can be no assurances that we will be successful in generating additional cash from equity or other sources to be used for operations. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority owned subsidiary, Eco Ventures - Florida. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The remaining 30% ownership of Eco Ventures – Florida as of August 31, 2013 is recorded as non-controlling interest in the consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
The Company will recognize revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 605-10, Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605-10”) which requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management's judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments will be provided for in the same period the related sales will be recorded.
ASC 605-10 incorporates Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 605-25, Multiple-Element Arraignments (“ASC 605-25”). ASC 605-25 addresses accounting for arrangements that may involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and/or rights to use assets. There was no effect on implementing ASC 605-25 on the Company’s financial position and results of operations, since the Company has not started generating revenue.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 718-10, Compensation (“ASC 718-10”) which requires that all share-based payments to both employees and non-employees be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values.
As of August 31, 2013, the Company did not have any issued or outstanding stock options.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company follows ASC 360, "Property, Plant and Equipment" which requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses, or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period. The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon forecasted undiscounted cash flows. Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of the long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles will be adjusted, based on estimates of future discounted cash flows resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset. ASC 360 also requires assets to be disposed of be reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less disposal costs.
- 15 -
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes ASC 740 “Income Taxes” which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There were various updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Inflation
We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. If our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases. Our inability or failure to do so could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Off-Balance sheet Arrangements
We do not maintain off-balance sheet arrangements nor do we participate in any non-exchange traded contracts requiring fair value accounting treatment other than the operating leases as disclosed in Item 2, Properties and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Note 10).
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market RISK
This item is not applicable to smaller reporting companies.
Item 8. Financial Statements and Report of Independent Certifying Accountant
Our consolidated financial statements are included beginning immediately following the signature page to this report. See Item 15 for a list of the consolidated financial statements included herein.
Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
On August 16, 2011 (the “Engagement Date”), the Company engaged RBSM LLP (“RBSM ”) as its independent registered public accounting firm for the Company’s fiscal year ended August 31, 2011. The decision to engage RBSM as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. During the two most recent fiscal years and through the Engagement Date, the Company has not consulted with RBSM regarding either:
1. the application of accounting principles to any specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and neither a written report was provided to the Company nor oral advice was provided that RBSM concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or
2. any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K and the related instructions thereto) or a reportable event (as described in paragraph (a)(1)(v) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K).

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of August 31, 2013, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer), and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer), management has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operations of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of August 31, 2013 as a result of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting discussed below.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rule 13a-15(f). Our Chief Executive Officer and President/Chief Financial Officer conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control — Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO Framework”).
The Company’s management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2013. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of August 31, 2013. Our Chief Executive Officer and President/Chief Financial Officer concluded we have a material weakness due to lack of segregation of duties and a limited corporate governance structure.
Our size has prevented us from being able to employ sufficient resources to enable us to have an adequate level of supervision and segregation of duties within our internal control system. Therefore while there are some compensating controls in place, it is difficult to ensure effective segregation of accounting and financial reporting duties. Management reported a material weakness resulting from the combination of the following significant deficiencies:· Lack of segregation of duties in certain accounting and financial reporting processes including the approval and execution of disbursements;· The Company’s corporate governance responsibilities are performed by the Board of Directors; we do not have independent Board of Directors, we do not have an audit committee or compensation committee. Because our Board of Directors only meets periodically throughout the year, several of our corporate governance functions are not performed concurrent (or timely) with the underlying transaction, evaluation, or recordation of the transaction.
While we strive to segregate duties as much as practicable, there is an insufficient volume of transactions at this point in time to justify additional full time staff. We believe that this is typical in most exploration stage companies. We may not be able to fully remediate the material weakness until we commence mining operations at which time we would expect to hire more staff. We will continue to monitor and assess the costs and benefits of additional staffing.
In light of the above material weakness, we performed additional analyses and procedures in order to conclude that our consolidated financial statements for the period from November 9, 2010 (date of inception) through August 31, 2013 included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K were fairly stated in accordance with US GAAP. Accordingly, management believes that despite our material weaknesses, our consolidated financial statements for the period from November 9, 2010 (date of inception) through August 31, 2013 are fairly stated, in all material respects, in accordance with US GAAP.
This report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report on internal control in this annual report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Director Independence
Our common stock is listed on the OTC Bulletin Board inter-dealer quotation system, which does not have director independence requirements. For purposes of determining director independence, we have applied the definition set forth in NASDAQ Rule 4200(a)(15). The following directors are considered “independent” as defined under Rule 4200(a)(15): Randall Lanham and Paul Smith would not be considered “independent” under the NASDAQ rule due to the fact that they are employees of our company.
Board Meetings
During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2013, we had two directors. During the year fiscal year ended August 31, 2013, the Board held one meeting and has taken numerous actions by unanimous written consent.
Audit, Compensation and Nominating Committees
As noted above, our common stock is listed on the OTC Bulletin Board, which does not require companies to maintain audit, compensation or nominating committees. Considering the foregoing and the fact that we are an early stage exploration company, we do not maintain standing audit, compensation or nominating committees. The functions typically associated with these committees are performed by the entire Board of Directors currently consists of two members, neither of which is considered independent.
Although there is no formal process in place regarding the consideration of any director candidates recommended by security holders, our Board of Directors will consider a director candidate proposed by a shareholder. A candidate must be highly qualified in terms of business experience and be both willing and expressly interested in serving on the Board.
The Board evaluates nominees for directors recommended by shareholders in the same manner in which it evaluates other nominees for directors. Minimum qualifications include the factors discussed above.
Shareholder Communications
We do not have a formal shareholder communications process. Shareholders are welcome to communicate with the Company by forwarding correspondence to Eco Ventures Group, Inc., State Hwy. 50, Groveland, FL, Attn.: Shareholder Relations.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, requires the Company’s officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of the Company’s Common Stock, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership of the Company’s Common Stock with the SEC. To our knowledge, during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2013, based solely on a review of such materials as are required by the SEC, all required reporting is current and accurate.
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
We have adopted a code of business conduct and ethics that applies to all of our executive officers and employees. The Code addresses conflicts of interest, compliance with all laws and other legal requirements, conduct of business in an honest and ethical manner, integrity and actions in the Company’s best interest. Directors, officers and employees are required to report any conduct that they believe in good faith to be an actual or apparent violation of the Code. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires companies to have procedures to receive, retain and treat complaints received regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters and to allow for the confidential and anonymous submission by employees of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters.

Equity Compensation Plans
2011 Incentive Stock Option Plan
On July 26, 2011, our Board of Directors unanimously approved our 2011 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the “2011 Plan”). The purpose of the Plan is to retain current, and attract new, employees, directors, consultants and advisors that have experience and ability, along with encouraging a sense of proprietorship and interest in the Company’s development and financial success. The Board of Directors believes that option grants and other forms of equity participation are an increasingly important means of retaining and compensating employees, directors, advisors and consultants. The 2011 Plan authorizes us to issue up to 44,444 shares of our common stock. The plan allows us to grant tax-qualified incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options and restrictive stock awards to employees, directors and consultants of our company.
In order to be able to grant qualified “incentive stock options” under the 2011 Plan in accordance with Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, we must obtain shareholder approval of the 2011 Plan within 12 months before or after the 2011 Plan was adopted. Accordingly, we submitted the Plan for shareholder approval in June 2011 and the 2011 Plan was approved by shareholder action upon written consent in accordance with the By-Laws of the Company.
Unless terminated earlier by the Board, the 2011 Plan will expire on December 31, 2021. As of August 31, 2012 there are no outstanding options under the 2011 Plan, and no shares of Common Stock has been issued under the 2011 Plan.
Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-end
There we no outstanding equity awards for our Executive officers in the period from November 9, 2010 (date of inception) through August 31, 2013.
Stock Option Exercised
There were no stock options exercised on common shares in the period from November 9, 2010 (date of inception) through August 31, 2013, with respect to the named executives listed in the Summary Compensation Table.

Standard Director Compensation Arrangement
We do not have a standard compensation arrangement for directors.
Indemnification and Limitation on Liability of Directors
Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that we must indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada, any of our directors, officers, employees or agents made or threatened to be made a party to a proceeding, by reason of the person serving or having served in a capacity as such, against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses incurred by the person in connection with the proceeding if certain standards are met.
The Nevada Revised Statutes allows indemnification of directors, officers, employees and agents of a company against liabilities incurred in any proceeding in which an individual is made a party because he or she was a director, officer, employee or agent of the company if such person conducted himself in good faith and reasonably believed his actions were in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the company, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. A person must be found to be entitled to indemnification under this statutory standard by procedures designed to assure that disinterested members of the board of directors have approved indemnification or that, absent the ability to obtain sufficient numbers of disinterested directors, independent counsel or shareholders have approved the indemnification based on a finding that the person has met the standard. Indemnification is limited to reasonable expenses.
At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors, officers, employees or agents where indemnification will be required or permitted. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 1933 Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
Our Articles of Incorporation limit the liability of our directors to the fullest extent permitted by law. Specifically, our directors will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as directors, except for:
•
|
any breach of the duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders;
|
•
|
acts or omissions not in good faith or that involved intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
|
•
|
dividends or other distributions of corporate assets that are in contravention of certain statutory or contractual restrictions;
|
•
|
violations of certain laws; or
|
•
|
any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit.

We have borrowed funds (See Note 5 and 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements), from related parties. In connection with the borrowings, we have executed unsecured promissory notes (“Notes”) to related parties which are due on demand and carry interest rate of 8% per annum. These Notes are in the amounts of $138,026 payable to Central Florida Resources Group, Inc. The Notes also provide that we pay collection costs and attorney fees if the Notes are not paid when due.
In addition, our Chief Executive Officer, President/Chief Financial Officer and a principal shareholder have advanced funds of $290,506 and $315,240 as of August 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively to the Company for travel and working capital purposes.

Director Independence
Our common stock is listed on the OTC Bulletin Board inter-dealer quotation system, which does not have director independence requirements. For purposes of determining director independence, we have applied the definition set forth in NASDAQ Rule 4200(a)(15). The following directors are considered “independent” as defined under Rule 4200(a)(15): Randall Lanham and Paul Smith would not be considered “independent” under the NASDAQ rule due to the fact that they are employees of our Company.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Clear TV Ventures, Inc.
(formerly Eco Venture Group, Inc.)
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Clear TV Ventures, Inc. (formerly Eco Ventures Group, Inc.) and Subsidiary (the “Company”), a development stage company as of August 31, 2013 and 2012 and the related consolidated statements of operations, deficit and cash flows for the years ended August 31, 2013 and 2012 and for the period from November 9, 2010 (date of inception) through August 31, 2013. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to the above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Clear TV Ventures, Inc. (formerly Eco Ventures Group, Inc.) as of August 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of operations, deficit and cash flows for the years ended August 31, 2013 and 2012 and for the period from November 9, 2010 (date of inception) through August 31, 2013 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company is a development stage company and has not commenced its planned principal operations, is incapable of generating sufficient cash flow to sustain its operations without securing additional financing, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to this matter are described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AUGUST 31, 2013
NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the presentation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows:
Basis and business presentation
Clear TV Ventures, Inc. (formerly Eco Ventures Group, Inc.), a publicly traded and holding company of our planned expanding lines of business was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada in April 2002 under the name of Modern Renewable Technologies, Inc. In connection with the consummation of the reverse merger transaction on June 1, 2011 with Eco Ventures Group, Inc., a Florida corporation (“Eco Ventures – Florida”) formed on November 9, 2010 (date of inception), the accounting acquirer (see below), EVG changed its name to Eco Ventures Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation. The historical financial statements are those of Eco Ventures – Florida, the accounting acquirer, immediately following the consummation of the reverse merger. On July 15, 2013, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Clear TV Ventures, Inc. (“CTV”). Under the terms of the merger, Clear TV became the surviving corporation.
All references that refer to (the “Company” or “Clear TV Ventures, Inc.” or "CTV" or “we” or “us” or “our”) are Clear TV Ventures, Inc., the Registrant and its wholly and or majority owned subsidiaries unless otherwise differentiated, Eco Ventures Group, Inc., a Florida formed corporation. We are in the development stage, as defined by Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 915-10, Development Stage Entities ("ASC 915-10") and specialize in the planned extraction of precious metals from mineralized waste bodies and reclaimed mine tailings and also will focus on the production of advanced biodiesel from recovered cooking oils and oil rich plants. We have not generated any revenues to date, have incurred expenses and has sustained losses since November 9, 2010 (date of inception). Consequently, our operations are subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise. For the period from November 9, 2010 (date of inception) through August 31, 2013, we have accumulated a deficit through its development stage of approximately $4,277,950.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority owned subsidiary, Eco Ventures - Florida. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The remaining 30% ownership of Eco Ventures – Florida as of August 31, 2013 is recorded as non-controlling interest in the consolidated financial statements.
On July 18, 2013, CTV declared a 15-for-1 reverse stock split for all of its common and preferred stock. All references in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto to the number of shares outstanding and per-share amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect this reverse stock split.
Reverse Merger and Corporate Restructure
On May 27, 2011, the Registrant entered into a material definitive agreement for the acquisition of 70% of the capital stock of Eco Ventures Group, Inc., a Florida corporation (“Eco Ventures – Florida”). The acquisition was completed on June 1, 2011 through issuance of 102,500 (including 8,333 shares issued to consultants and 6,333 shares issued to officers) shares of Common Stock of the Company in exchange for 467 Shares of Eco Ventures - Florida in a tax-free share exchange. A total of 28,144 shares of Common Stock of the Registrant shall be issued to Holders of the Registrant’s outstanding Convertible Debentures. Upon the conversion of all such Convertible Debentures, the Registrant had a total of 130,659 Shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.

(formerly Eco Ventures, Inc.)
(a development stage company)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AUGUST 31, 2013
As a condition of the reverse merger transaction, the name of the Registrant was changed to “Eco Ventures Group, Inc.”, a Nevada corporation and the Registrant’s OTC trading symbol has been changed to “EVGI.” The transaction is accounted for in substance as a reverse acquisition of the Registrant by Eco Ventures – Florida since the stockholders of Eco Ventures – Florida owned a majority of the Company’s voting power immediately following the merger transaction and Eco Ventures – Florida’s management has assumed operational, management and governance control in accordance with the terms of the Shareholder Agreement dated May 20, 2011. For accounting purposes, Eco Ventures – Florida is the accounting acquirer and / or the surviving entity. Accordingly, the historical financial statements are those of Eco Ventures – Florida, the accounting acquirer, immediately following the consummation of the reverse merger. The Company did not recognize goodwill or any intangible assets in connection with this transaction.
Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company will recognize revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 605-10, Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605-10”) which requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management's judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments will be provided for in the same period the related sales will be recorded.
ASC 605-10 incorporates Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 605-25, Multiple-Element Arraignments (“ASC 605-25”). ASC 605-25 addresses accounting for arrangements that may involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and/or rights to use assets. There was no effect on implementing ASC 605-25 on the Company’s financial position and results of operations, since the Company has not started generating revenue.
Cash
The Company considers cash to consist of cash on hand and temporary investments having an original maturity of 90 days or less that are readily convertible into cash.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. When retired or otherwise disposed, the related carrying value and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and the net difference less any amount realized from disposition, is reflected in earnings. During the year ended August 31, 2013, all acquired property and equipment was determined to be impaired and the total cost of $766,367 was charged to operations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AUGUST 31, 2013
Long-Lived Assets
The Company follows FASB ASC 360-10-15-3, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets,” which established a “primary asset” approach to determine the cash flow estimation period for a group of assets and liabilities that represents the unit of accounting for a long-lived asset to be held and used. Long-lived assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. For the year ended August 31, 2013, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $766,367. The impairment loss represents the excess of the carrying amounts of the Company’s property and equipment over their fair value, which was determined on the basis of their liquidation value of the related assets. CTV was significantly behind in paying its rent on its Florida Facilities. On March 31, 2013, the landlord, a related party, waived all past due rents and released the Company from any further obligation under the lease. The Company credited to equity all accrued past due rent totaling $386,255.
Income Taxes
The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 740-10, Income Taxes (“ASC 740-10”) which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statement or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Temporary differences between taxable income reported for financial reporting purposes and income tax purposes consist primarily of timing differences such as deferred officers’ compensation and stock based compensation accounting.
Net Loss per Common Share, basic and diluted
The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 260-10, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260-10”) specifying the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements of earnings per share information. Basic loss per share has been calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A and Series B preferred stock have been excluded as common stock equivalents in the diluted loss per share because their effect is anti-dilutive on the computation. Diluted shares outstanding were 493,794 shares as of August 31, 2013.
Stock based compensation
The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 718-10, Compensation (“ASC 718-10”) which requires that all share-based payments to both employees and non-employees be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values.
As of August 31, 2013, the Company did not have any issued or outstanding stock options.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments and related items, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and trade receivables. The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with high credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit.

Research and Development
The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 730-10, Research and Development (“ASC 730-10”). Under ASC 730-10, all research and development costs must be charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and development costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved as defined under the applicable agreement. Company-sponsored research and development costs related to both present and future products are expensed in the period incurred. The Company did not incur any research and development expenses from November 9, 2010 (date of inception) through August 31, 2013.
Reliance on Key Personnel and Consultants
The Company has one full-time employee and no part-time employees. Additionally, the Company has consultants performing various specialized services. The Company is heavily dependent on the continued active participation of these current executive officers, employees and key consultants. The loss of any of the senior management or key consultants could significantly and negatively impact the business until adequate replacements can be identified and put in place.
Fair Value
Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”) requires disclosure of the fair value of certain financial instruments. The carrying amount reported in the consolidated balance sheet for accounts payable and accrued expenses, advances and notes payable approximates fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments.
Reclassification
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods' data to conform to the current period's presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported income or losses.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company continually assesses any new accounting pronouncements to determine their applicability to the Company. Where it is determined that a new accounting pronouncement affects the Company’s financial reporting, the Company undertakes a study to determine the consequence of the change to its financial statements and assures that there are proper controls in place to ascertain that the Company’s financials properly reflect the change.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN MATTERS
The accompanying 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 from November 9, 2010 (date of inception) through August 31, 2013, the Company incurred deficit accumulated during development stage of approximately $4,277,950, used $137,097 in cash for operating activities during the year ended August 31, 2013.

AUGUST 31, 2013
The Company’s existence is dependent upon management’s ability to develop profitable operations and or upon obtaining additional financing to carry out its planned business. Management is devoting substantially all of its efforts to the commercialization of its planned product and processes, as well as raising additional debt or equity financing in order to accelerate the development and commercialization of additional products. There can be no assurance that the Company’s commercialization or financing efforts will result in profitable operations or the resolution of the Company’s liquidity problems.
There can be no assurance that any additional financings will be available to the Company on satisfactory terms and conditions, if at all. In the event the Company is unable to continue as a going concern, it may elect or required to seek protection from its creditors by filing a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or may be subject to an involuntary petition in bankruptcy. To date, management has not considered this alternative, nor does management view it as a likely occurrence.
The accompanying consolidated statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 740-10, Income Taxes (“ASC 740-10”) which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statement or tax returns.

Temporary differences between taxable income reported for financial reporting purposes and income tax purposes include, but not limited to, accounting for intangibles, debt discounts associated with convertible debt, equity based compensation and depreciation and amortization.
At August 31, 2013, the Company has available for federal income tax purposes a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $3,704,000 which expiring through the fiscal tax year 2031, that may be used to offset future taxable income. The Company has provided a valuation reserve against the full amount of the net operating loss benefit, since in the opinion of management based upon the earnings history of the Company; it is more likely than not that the benefits will not be realized. Based upon the change in ownership rules under section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, if in the future the Company issues common stock or additional equity instruments convertible in common shares which result in an ownership change exceeding the 50% limitation threshold imposed by that section, all of the Company’s net operating losses carryforwards may be significantly limited as to the amount of use in a particular years. Components of deferred tax assets as of August 31, 2013 are as follows. All or portion of the remaining valuation allowance may be reduced in future years based on an assessment of earnings sufficient to fully utilize these potential tax benefits.

The Company has not yet filed its tax returns for the period from November 9, 2010 (date of inception) through August 31, 2013.
The provisions of ASC 740 require companies to recognize in their financial statements the impact of a tax position if that position is more likely than not to be sustained upon audit, based upon the technical merits of the position. ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosure.
Management does not believe that the Company has any material uncertain tax positions requiring recognition or measurement in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740. Accordingly, the adoption of these provisions of ASC 740 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions, if any, as income tax expense.
