Corporate History
We were initially incorporated as Sandalwood Ventures, Ltd. in Nevada in April 2007. On November 16, 2012, we filed a Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of Nevada and changed our name to “
Eco-Tek Group, Inc.
”
On January 6, 2012, Edwin Slater, the Company’s then sole Director approved the filing of a Certificate of Change Pursuant to NRS 78.209 (the “
Certificate of Change
”). The Certificate of Change affected a 28:1 forward stock split of the Company’s (i) authorized and unissued; and (ii) issued and outstanding, shares of common stock, effective with the Secretary of State of Nevada on January 23, 2012 (the “
Forward Split
”), pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes Section 78.209. The Certificate of Change was effective with FINRA at the open of business on January 26, 2012 (the “
FINRA Effectiveness Date
”).
Following the filing and effectiveness of the Certificate of Change and Forward Split, the Company has 7,000,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share authorized (compared to 250,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share authorized prior to the Forward Split)(“
Common Stock
”). Unless otherwise stated, the effects of the Forward Split have been retroactively reflected throughout this report.
Change in Business Focus
On June 25, 2012, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Eco-Tek Group Inc., an Ontario corporation (“
Eco-Tek Ontario
”) and its shareholders (the “
Eco-Tek Ontario Shareholders
”). The Eco-Tek Ontario Shareholders included Luciana D’Alessandris, Jim Vogiatzis, Michael Zitser and Sergey Kartsev (the “
Purchasers
”) who in April 2012 entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Edwin Slater, our then majority shareholder and acquired 93.7% (23.4% each) of our outstanding Common Stock (notwithstanding the issuance of Series A Preferred Stock and subsequent purchase of such Series A Preferred Stock by the Purchasers, which Series A Preferred Stock provides the holders thereof, voting as a group, the right to 51% of the total vote on all shareholder matters, no matter how many shares of Common Stock or other voting stock of the Company are issued or outstanding (the “
Super Majority Voting Rights
”)).
Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, which closed on June 29, 2012, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Eco-Tek Ontario in consideration for an aggregate of 125,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company was a “
shell company
” with only nominal operations prior to the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement.
From the date of our incorporation until June 29, 2012, when the Share Exchange Agreement closed, we were an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. We acquired a 100% undivided interest in one mineral claim known as the "
Sandalwood 1 Lode Claim,
” totaling 20 acres located in the Goodsprings (Yellow Pine) Mining District situated within the southwestern corner of the State of Nevada, U.S.A. Our plan of operations was to conduct mineral exploration activities on the Sandalwood 1 Lode Claim in order to assess whether it possessed mineral deposits of lead, zinc, copper or silver in commercial quantities capable of commercial extraction. The Company did not undertake any mineral exploration activities from incorporation to June 29, 2012.
Following the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company changed its business focus to that of Eco-Tek Ontario (the blending and sale of oil lubrication products, as described further below) and ceased undertaking any mineral exploration activities. In connection with this change in business focus, the Company let the rights to its Sandalwood 1 Lode Claim expire in September 2012.
Name Change
On October 12, 2012 our Board of Directors and majority shareholders (including the Purchasers) approved the filing of a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to affect a name change of the Company to “
Eco-Tek Group, Inc.
”, which was filed with the Secretary of State of Nevada on November 16, 2012.
Description of Business Operations
Eco-Tek Ontario, acquired in June 2012, as described above, was initially formed as an Ontario, Canada corporation on May 4, 2005, under the name of ClikTech Corp. The name of the corporation was changed to Eco-Tek Group Inc., on June 28, 2012. Eco-Tek Ontario is dedicated to the development and marketing of innovative and cost effective “
green
” products to the automotive and industrial sectors.
Currently we, through Eco-Tek Ontario (in the discussion below, references to “
we
”, “
us
” or the “
Company
” include Eco-Tek Ontario), are a distributor of lubrication products for the automobile market. We manufacture (through the blending of various ingredients) and distribute Eco-Tek synthetic lubricants, filtration systems and other products, described below. We maintain websites at
www.eco-tekgroup.net
and
www.ecotekworldwide.com
. The information on, or that may be accessed through our websites is not incorporated by reference into this report and should not be considered a part of this report.
Products
Currently we sell the following products, which are currently commercially available (except as otherwise stated), which we either manufacture (through the blending of various ingredients) or distribute on behalf of third parties under our own “
Eco-Tek
” brand, which products are described in greater detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 16, 2013:

Future Planned Products and Expansion
Funding permitting we plan to expand our product line with the following additional products:
-
|
“
Eco-Tek Fuel Saving Package
” which will combine the Eco-Tek Non Toxic Super Lubricant and the Eco-Tek 4 in 1 Fuel Treatment, and is planned to also be marketed on the internet. This product has been developed, but needs to be packaged. The Company believes that this product could be ready for commercial sale in the next six months.
|
-
|
“
Eco-Tek Non Toxic Windshield Washer Fluid
”, for which a prototype currently exists, and which is in the final testing phase of development. The Company estimates this product is approximately sixty percent (60%) complete. The Company believes that this product could be ready for commercial sale in approximately six months.
|
-
|
“
Eco-Tek Non Toxic Multi-Purpose Lubricant
” which will come with a non-pressurized spray applicator, which we believe will have several uses similar to WD 40, but will be “
green
” and nontoxic. A prototype currently exists for this product, which the Company estimates is approximately ninety-nine percent (99%) complete and needs to be packaged and labeled to be ready for commercial sale which is anticipated to happen in approximately the next four months.
|
We also hope, funding permitting, to open environment conscious quick lube centers in southern Ontario, Canada, through Eco-Tek Lube Centres, the wholly-owned subsidiary of Eco-Tek Ontario, with the goal of expanding throughout North America and eventually worldwide. These centers are planned to offer oil changes using Eco-Tek synthetic oils and performance enhancing, eco-friendly lubricants. We anticipate that the cost of opening a new facility will be approximately $150,000 and the cost of converting an existing facility to an Eco-Tek Lube Centre will be approximately $50,000.
Moving forward, we plan to add on-line product ordering and fulfillment in conjunction with TV advertising and infomercials for our products. We plan to begin television advertising as soon as possible and anticipate the cost of producing an infomercial at approximately $1,000 per minute.
Product Development
The Company, through Eco-Tek Ontario, entered into a Technology co-operation Agreement (the “
Technology Agreement
”) with Dr. Sabatino Nacson, PHD Chemistry on August 23, 2012, which was amended and restated on September 14, 2012 and further amended on November 12, 2012 (the discussion of the Technology Agreement below affects and reflects such amendments and restatements). The Technology Agreement provides for Dr. Nacson to collaborate with the Company on the development of various products used in the automotive industry, including fuel injector formulation, fuel treatment, diesel fuel enhancement, lubricating oils, and penetrating lubricant formulation. Pursuant to the Technology Agreement, Dr. Nacson agreed to provide consulting services to the Company and assist the Company in patent writing to protect new products and technology developed for the Company in the automotive market. We agreed to compensate Dr. Nacson (i) CDN$100 per hour for the development of products up to a maximum of CDN$5,000 per product upon release and acceptance of formula to us; (ii) through the issuance of 1,039,583 shares of the Company’s common stock, which have previously been issued to date; (iii) by the payment of 1% of total sales of new products sold which were exclusively developed by Dr. Nacson or in collaboration with the Company; and (iv) to repay Dr. Nacson for all expenses associated with the U.S. and Canadian patents on the lubricant oil formation, which total $30,000, and all expenses moving forward, which will be paid quarterly. As of March 31, 2013, the Company has not made any of the agreed upon payments within this agreement and all patents remain with Dr. Nacson and have not been assigned to the Company.
Dr. Nacson agreed not to develop end user products in the automotive industry, which compete with the Company. We also received the exclusive rights to market and sell products developed by Dr. Nacson in the automotive market. All products and formulae will be provided to us and remain our sole property. We will manufacture, package and market products developed by Dr. Nacson at our sole discretion. Dr. Nacson agreed to assign all patent rights associated with the oil lubricant technology to us. The Company agreed to indemnify and hold Dr. Nacson harmless against any claims or actions arising out of the use of any product developed by Dr. Nacson. The Technology Agreement has a term of seven years, extendable for up to another seven years thereafter, provided that the Technology Agreement can be terminated by either party after the expiration of the first seven year period with 90 days written notice from either party. Although the provisional patent application relating to the formula used in our products is registered in Dr. Nacson’s name, we have the exclusive rights to use such formula and any other products and intellectual property associated therewith created by Dr. Nacson for use in the automotive industry and during the term of the Technology Agreement.

COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS
Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 to Three Months Ended March 31, 2012
Revenue.
Revenue decreased by $35,079 to $53,441 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 from $88,520 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The main reason for the decrease in revenue was due to a large non-reoccurring customer order of $28,800 fulfilled during the first quarter ended March 31, 2012.
Cost of Goods Sold
. Cost of goods sold was $38,427 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $47,319 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, a decrease of $8,892 from the prior period. The decrease in cost of goods sold of $8,892 was not in proportion to the decrease in revenue of $35,079, mainly due to the fact that the Company earned an exceptionally high gross margin on that particular one-time customer order explained above.
Operating Expenses.
Operating expenses increased to $204,631 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 from $40,183 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The $164,448 increase in operating expenses was mainly due to an increase of $136,579 in general and administrative expenses, to $158,009 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $21,430 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, increase in salaries and wages of $9,250, to $26,815 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $17,565 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, and increase in financial charges of $12,736, to $13,121 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $385 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The overall increase in operating expenses is due to the fact that operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2012 include expenses of only Eco-Tek Ontario, whereas operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2013 include expenses of Eco-Tek Ontario as well as public company expenses, due to the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement on June 29, 2012.
Net loss.
During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we incurred a net loss of $189,617 as compared to net income of $1,018 during the three months ended March 31, 2012. The major reason for the increase in net loss in the current period as compared to the previous period is primarily due to the increase in total operating expenses of $164,448 and more specifically the increase in general and administrative expenses of $158,009, which was mainly due to the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement on June 29, 2012.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2013, the Company had total assets of $78,659, which included total current assets of $71,638, consisting of cash of $8,956, accounts receivable of $38,699, inventory of $23,392, deposits and sundry assets of $591, and long-term assets of $7,021 representing equipment, net of depreciation.
The Company had total liabilities of $1,161,516 as of March 31, 2013, which consisted solely of current liabilities, consisting of accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $125,130, notes payable of $301,893 (described in greater detail below under “
Promissory Notes
”), convertible notes payable of $263,775 (described in greater detail below under “
Convertible Promissory Notes
”), and advances from stockholders of $470,718.
The Company had a working capital deficit of $1,089,878 and an accumulated deficit of $2,189,207 as of March 31, 2013.
Net cash used in operating activities
.
During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company used $176,963 of net cash in operating activities compared with using $5,685 of net cash in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase of $171,278 in net cash used in operating activities is mainly due to net loss of $189,617 incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to net income of $1,018 generated during the three months ended March 31, 2012.
Net cash provided by financing activities
.
During the three months ended March 31, 2013, net cash provided by financing activities of $173,142 consisted of proceeds from issuance of notes of $166,958 and advances from shareholders of $6,184, compared with $4,562 of net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2012, due solely to advances from shareholders.

Need For Additional Capital
The Company has experienced losses from operations since inception that raise substantial doubt as to its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company will need to raise additional funding to complete the Plan of Operations set forth above and repay the notes described above. The Company has budgeted the need for approximately $442,400 of additional funding during the next 12 months to affect the Plan of Operations set forth above and $75,000 to pay its costs and expenses associated with the filing requirements with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which funding may not be available on favorable terms, if at all.
The Company’s operations do not currently produce sufficient operating cash to support the Company’s operations without additional funding.
If the Company is unable to raise adequate working capital it will be restricted in the implementation of its business plan and may be forced to cease filing reports with the SEC.
The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has experienced losses from operations and has negative working capital as of March 31, 2013. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue as a going concern.
Moving forward, we plan to seek out additional debt and/or equity financing (similar to the Convertible Notes and/or Promissory Notes) to pay costs and expenses associated with our filing requirements with the Securities and Exchange Commission and to affect our plan of operations (as described above); however, we do not currently have any specific plans to raise such additional financing at this time. The sale of additional equity securities, if undertaken by the Company and if accomplished, may result in dilution to our shareholders. We cannot assure you, however, that future financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, or at all.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to raise funds, in which case we may be unable to meet our obligations and we may cease operations.
