NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December
31, 2017
NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Eco Tek 360, Inc. ("the Company") was incorporated in Nevada on March 25, 2005. As of December 31, 2017 and December
31, 2016, the Company had 400,000,000 shares of authorized common stock.
During the second quarter, 2014
the Company formed Leading Edge Fashions, LLC of which it controls 51%. Effective December 31, 2014 the Company's Board of Directors
determined it was in the best interest of the Company to discontinue the operations of Leading Edge Fashions, LLC.
The Company created a new limited
liability company, Pure361, LLC ("Pure361") in May 2015 for the purpose of operating the portion of the Company's business
that is involved with the collection, rejuvenation and manufacturing of garments and other accessories for the uniform marketplace
that serves the hospitality, food service, medical, manufacturing, education, military, transportation and other commercial uniform
industries. The Company owns 51% of Pure361. Pure361 entered into a license agreement with Pure System International Ltd. ("Pure"),
the minority owner of Pure 361, related to potential future operations in which Pure361 was granted the exclusive license to use
certain licensed intellectual property related to the manufacturing of uniforms from recyclable waste. Pure361 has had no operations
to date nor did it have assets or liabilities as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
The Company created a
new wholly owned subsidiary, Progressive Fashions Inc. ("PFI") in February 2016 for the purpose of designing, producing
and marketing the EMME® Activewear Collection. On June 5, 2017 the Company and True Beauty, LLC (the company that controls
the EMME® trademark) terminated the license agreement. PFI has had no operations to date nor did it have assets or liabilities
as of December 31, 2016 and 2016, respectively.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplates continuation of the Company
as a going concern. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $30,578,048 and $29,730,893 as of December 31, 2017 and December
31, 2016, respectively, which include net losses of $847,155 and $819,015 for the years ended December 31, 2017, and 2016, respectively.
Consequently, the aforementioned items raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within
one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. Management plans to raise additional debt or equity and continue
to settle obligations by issuing stock. Management plans to continue to raise additional debt and equity until the Company has
positive cash flows from an operating company.
The Company's ability to continue as
a going concern is dependent upon its ability to repay or settle its current indebtedness, generate positive cash flow from an
operating company, and/or raise capital through equity and debt financing or other means on desirable terms. If the Company is
unable to obtain additional funds when they are required or if the funds cannot be obtained on favorable terms, management may
be required to restructure the Company or cease operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
NOTE 2 –SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial
statements include all of the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Trident Merchant Group, Inc. and Progressive
Fashions Inc., and its majority owned subsidiaries, Leading Edge Fashion, LLC and Pure361, LLC which are 51% owned. All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. As noted above in Note 1, our 51% owned subsidiaries,
Pure361 and Leading Edge Fashions, LLC, had no operations, assets or liabilities as of December 31, 2017 or 2016. Because of this,
a non-controlling interest is not reflected in these financial statements.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the prior period
financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect
on reported consolidated net (loss).
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash
on hand and investments in money market funds. The Company considers all highly-liquid instruments with an original maturity of
90 days or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.
Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at
cost. Costs of replacements and major improvements are capitalized, and maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.
Depreciation expense is provided primarily by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets which is
seven years. Depreciation expense amounted to $380 and $379 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Prepaid interest and deposits
Prepaid interest and deposits consist
of prepaid consulting fees, debt discounts, amounts paid for deposits on property, plant and equipment and other prepaid items.
Prepaid interest is amortized over the life of the related liability.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue for the women's fashion division
will be recognized at the point-of-sale for retail store sales, net of estimated customer returns. Revenue will be recognized
at the completion of a job or service for the consulting division. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for
its consulting service accounts receivable, which management reviews on a regular basis and believes is sufficient to cover potential
credit losses and billing adjustments. Deposits for consulting services are recognized as a sale upon completion of service.
Income
Taxes
Income taxes
are accounted for under the asset and liability method as stipulated by ASC 740 "Income Taxes." Deferred tax assets
and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying
amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those
temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities
or a change in tax rate is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced
to estimated amounts to be realized by the use of a valuation allowance. A valuation allowance is applied when in management's
view it is more likely than not that such deferred tax asset will be unable to be utilized.
The Company
adopted certain provisions under ASC Topic 740, which provide interpretative guidance for the financial statement recognition
and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Effective with the Company's adoption of these
provisions, interest related to the unrecognized tax benefits is recognized in the financial statements as a component of income
taxes.
In the unlikely
event that an uncertain tax position exists in which the Company could incur income taxes, the Company would evaluate whether
there is a probability that the uncertain tax position taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. Reserves
for uncertain tax positions would be recorded if the Company determined it is probable that a position would not be sustained
upon examination or if payment would have to be made to a taxing authority and the amount is reasonably estimated. As of December
31, 2017 and 2016, the Company does not believe it has any uncertain tax positions that would result in the Company having a liability
to the taxing authorities. The Company's tax returns are subject to examination by the federal and state tax authorities for the
years ended 2006 through 2017.
Impairment
or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets
ASC Topic
360 (formerly FASB issued Statement No. 144), "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("FAS
144"), clarifies the accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets and for long-lived assets to be disposed of, including
the disposal of business segments and major lines of business. Long-lived assets are reviewed when facts and circumstances
indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. When necessary, impaired assets are written down to
their estimated fair value based on the best information available. No impairment was necessary as of December 31, 2017,
or December 31, 2016.
Stock-based
Compensation
We account for stock-based awards at
fair value on the date of grant, and recognize compensation over the service-period that they are expected to vest. We estimate
the fair value of stock options and stock purchase warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The estimated value
of the portion of a stock-based award that is ultimately expected to vest, taking into consideration estimated forfeitures, is
recognized as expense over the requisite service periods. The model includes subjective input assumptions that can materially
affect the fair value estimates. The expected volatility is estimated based on the most recent historical period of time, of other
comparative securities, equal to the weighted average life of the options. The estimate of stock awards that will ultimately vest
requires judgment, and to the extent that actual forfeitures differ from estimated forfeitures, such differences are accounted
for as a cumulative adjustment to compensation expenses and recorded in the period that estimates are revised.
Use of Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the valuation of
stock based awards issued.
Fair Value
FASB ASC 820,
Fair Value Measurements
and Disclosure
s ("ASC 820") establishes a framework for all fair value measurements and expands disclosures related
to fair value measurement and developments. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or
paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
ASC 820 requires that assets and liabilities
measured at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
Level 1
—
Quoted market
prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets or observable inputs;
Level 2
—
Significant other
observable inputs that can be corroborated by observable market data; and
Level 3
—
Significant unobservable
inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data.
The carrying amounts of cash, accrued
compensation, accounts payable and other liabilities, accrued interest payable, and short-term portion of notes payable approximate
fair value because of the short-term nature of these items.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The carrying value of short-term financial
instruments, including cash, restricted cash, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and short-term debt,
approximates the fair value of these instruments. These financial instruments generally expose the Company to limited credit risk
and have no stated maturities or have short-term maturities and carry interest rates that approximate market. The Company
maintains cash balances at financial institutions that are insured by the FDIC. At December 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016,
the Company had no amounts in excess of the FDIC limit.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2018, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-01,
Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to
Topic 842,
which amends ASC Topic 842. Among other things, the new standard requires us to recognize a right of use asset
and a lease liability on our balance sheet for leases. It also changes the presentation and timing of lease-related expenses.
This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption
is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this guidance may have on its financial position, results of operations,
comprehensive income, cash flows and disclosures.
In December 2016, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-20,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers,
which amends ASC Topic 606. The standard eliminates the transaction- and industry-specific revenue recognition guidance under
current U.S. GAAP and replaces it with a principles-based approach for revenue recognitionwith disclosures.
This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption
is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this guidance may have on its financial position, results of operations,
comprehensive income, cash flows and disclosures.

Company has designated a "Class B Convertible Preferred Stock" (the "Class B Preferred"). The number

The utilization
of the carryforwards is dependent upon the Company's ability to generate sufficient taxable income during the carryforward period.
In addition, utilization of these carryforwards may be limited due to ownership changes as defined in the Internal Revenue Code.
NOTE 8 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
On March
15, 2015 the Company entered into a trademark license agreement with True Beauty, LLC which controls the trademark EMME.
EMME is a market pioneer and trusted voice of the "Full-Figured" market. Under this licensing agreement the Company
has the right to design, produce and market the EMME® Activewear Collection. On April 13, 2016, the agreement was amended
regarding the term and minimum royalties. The royalty expense was $38,500 for the year ended December 31, 2017. On June
5, 2017, the Company and True Beauty, LLC, entered into an agreement to terminate the agreement. The Company is scheduled to make
twelve repayments totaling of $37,500 to resolve all amounts
outstanding. As of December 31, 2017, $16,394 is outstanding.
As of the date of this filing,
the Company is a party to three pending litigation matters. The Company does not believe it has any liability nor has it accrued
any liability as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 for the following:
One matter is entitled Randazzo
LLC v. Avani Holdings LLC & Global Fashion Technologies, Inc. This litigation was initiated by the plaintiff in
order to evict Avani Holdings LLC from its rented premises in California and to recover unpaid rent. ECTX does not
operate out of the premises in question and has never signed any leases or other documents with the plaintiff. A judgment
of eviction was entered, but ECTX does not operate out of the premises in question and therefore did not appear in the matter
to oppose the judgment of eviction. The plaintiff is also seeking unpaid rent in the amount of $26,595.
The second matter is entitled Patricia
Witthuhn v. Global Fashion Technologies, Inc. This litigation was initiated by the plaintiff in order to collect
wages allegedly due pursuant to her employment with Avani Holdings LLC. The Company never hired Ms. Witthuhn and never
acquired Avani Holdings, LLC. Consequently, there is no legitimate cause of action against the Company. However, due
to cash flow constraints, the Company is unable to hire outside counsel for this litigation. The amount being sought
by the plaintiff is approximately $15,000.
The third matter is entitled William
Corso v. Global Fashion Technologies, Inc. This litigation was initiated by the plaintiff in order to collect
wages allegedly due pursuant to his employment with Avani Holdings LLC. The Company never hired Mr. Corso and never acquired
Avani Holdings, LLC. Consequently, there is no legitimate cause of action against the Company. However, due to cash
flow constraints, the Company is unable to hire outside counsel for this litigation. The amount being sought by the
plaintiff is approximately $40,000.

Potentially
dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation of net loss per share when their effect would be anti-dilutive. For all

share calculations as they were anti-dilutive as a result of the net losses incurred for the respective periods. Accordingly,
basic shares equal diluted shares for all periods presented.
