Statements made in this Form 10-K that are not historical or current facts are  "forward-looking  statements" made pursuant to the safe harbor  provisions of Section 27A of the  Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  We wish to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made.  Any forward-looking statements represent our best judgment as to what may occur in the future.  These forward-looking statements include our plans and objectives for our future growth, including plans and objectives related to the consummation of acquisitions and future private and public issuances of our equity and debt securities.   The forward-looking statements included herein are based on current expectations that involve numerous risks and uncertainties.   Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control.  Although we believe that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements included in this Form 10-K will prove to be accurate.   In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, you should not regard the inclusion of such information as our representation or the representation of any other person that we will achieve our objectives and plans.  We disclaim any obligation subsequently to revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statement or to reflect the occurrenc e of anticipated or unanticipated events.


PART I


ITEM 1.  BUSINESS


Historical Development


On March 7, 1986, Hystar Aerospace Marketing Corporation of Nebraska (“Hystar”) was incorporated in Nebraska as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nautilus Entertainment, Inc., a Nevada corporation.  On February 10, 1999, Pinecrest Services, Inc. (“Pinecrest”) was incorporated in Nevada and Hystar completed a change of domicile merger with Pinecrest solely to change the domicile of Hystar from Nebraska to Nevada.  We changed our name from Pinecrest Services, Inc. to Silvergraph International, Inc. on June 23, 2006 in connection with the share exchange, described below.


Silvergraph LGT, LLC was formed on January 18, 2002 to develop and distribute wall art.  Silvergraph LGT, LLC completed a change of domicile merger with New Era Studios, Inc., a Nevada corporation, on June 9, 2006.  The purposes of this merger were to change the domicile of Silvergraph LGT, LLC, from Delaware to Nevada, and to change Silvergraph LGT, LLC, from a limited liability company to a corporation.  The officers and directors of New Era were the sole members of each of the limited liability companies that served as managers of Silvergraph LGT, LLC.  In all respects, New Era is the same as and engages in the same business as Silvergraph LGT, LLC.  As a result of the share exchange, New Era became our wholly-owned subsidiary.



4





On June 23, 2006, Silvergraph and New Era Studios, Inc., a Nevada corporation and successor in interest by merger to Silvergraph LGT, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, executed an Agreement and Plan of Share Exchange, pursuant to which the shareholders of New Era exchanged their issued and outstanding shares of New Era common stock for shares of restricted Silvergraph International common stock.  Effective as of June 23, 2006 New Era is our wholly-owned subsidiary.  We treated this transaction as a recapitalization for accounting purposes, with New Era deemed the accounting acquirer and Silvergraph International the legal acquirer.  


In accordance with the closing of the share exchange agreement on June 23, 2006, we issued 490,909 shares of our common stock to the former shareholders of New Era in exchange for all of the 224 issued and outstanding shares of New Era common stock.   The management of Silvergraph resigned and management connected with New Era was appointed to fill the vacancies.  (See Part III, Item 10.  Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance, below.)


We had 545,455 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of June 26, 2006 as a result of the retirement of 227,273 shares of common stock held by VIP WorldNet, Inc., which resulted in a reduction of our issued and outstanding common stock, and the subsequent issuance of the 490,909 shares of our common stock to the former shareholders of New Era in connection with the share exchange.  As a consequence of the retirement of our common stock and the issuance of shares in the share exchange, the former shareholders of New Era  held approximately 90% of our issued and outstanding common stock.  The share exchange is deemed to be a recapitalization for accounting purposes.  We expect the share exchange agreement and the transactions contemplated under that agreement to qualify as a tax-free reorganization under the provisions of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.  


On September 14, 2006 we incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary, TxTura, Inc. in the state of Nevada (“TxTura”).   TxTura’s business purpose was to offer a compelling business opportunity to home based businesses to represent and sell our patent-pending products.   However, TxTura became inactive in October 2007.


On December 5, 2008, stockholders holding a majority of shares entitled to vote authorized by written consent a reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding common stock in the range of from 1:30 to 1:66, as determined in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors.  On February 24, 2009, the Board of Directors authorized by written consent to effect a 1-for-66 reverse split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares.  The reverse stock took effect at the open of business on March 24, 2009.  As a result of the reverse stock split, the outstanding shares of common stock issued and outstanding, were reduced to 1,067,440 shares.  Except where the context indicates otherwise, all share figures in this Form 10-K give effect to the stock split.


Our Business


Through our operating subsidiary, New Era, we develop and distribute wall art to the $12.5 billion U.S. mass wall art market.  From inception through 2004, we focused our activity on developing and refining our patent-pending and proprietary technology with only modest, non-strategic, sales and revenue.  Our patent-pending technology significantly lowers the cost of producing textured fine art quality prints.  A result of this lower production cost is the enlargement of our potential customer base that can now afford prints that previously fine art galleries might sell for thousands of dollars.


Based on the 2006 report by Unity Marketing entitled “The Art, Wall Décor, Custom Framing & Picture Frame Market”, the United States art industry was an approximately $21.8 billion market, including the $12.5 billion U.S. art reproduction market.  The United States art industry includes unframed prints (open and limited editions), framed prints (open and limited editions), canvas, giclée, originals and custom frames.  The U.S. art industry is highly fragmented, commoditized and leaderless.  The predominant style of art reproduction currently sold in the industry is a paper art print framed behind glass.  Our patent-pending technology enables us to introduce to the industry a collection of textured fine art prints on multiple surfaces at prices similar to those which currently exist



5




in the market.  We believe consumers desire high quality textured fine art at prices similar to that which they have historically paid for décor paper prints under glass.


In 2005, we successfully “soft launched” our product with an established home décor company that sells through 100,000 independent sales representatives throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico.  This customer expanded the program by adding new stock keeping units and ordered 60,000 units in the first 12 months.


In 2006 we expanded our operations, to meet increased demand from our existing clients and to develop product targeting the home furnishings market.  With respect to product development, we partnered with Applejack Art Partners, an art publishing company in Manchester, Vermont, to help develop and select new trend oriented images with the goal of releasing a series of exclusive art collections utilizing our patent-pending technology. In December 2006, we soft launched our first exclusive art collection in the United States.


In 2007, we experienced significant challenges due to the unexpected contraction of our business with our largest client.  In response, we attempted to accelerate the development of our in-house sales channel to home furnishings and accessory retailers.  To that end, in July 2007 we hired an art sales, marketing and design company based in Seattle which brought to us an existing client base.  To service and grow the Seattle group’s client base, we needed to raise capital which we were unable to accomplish on terms acceptable to us.  Accordingly, we terminated our contract with the Seattle group in December 2007.   Separately, without sufficient resources we were forced to cease our investment in the development of TxTura.  Given the challenges we were experiencing in developing sales channels and the unexpected contraction of our largest client, in December 2007, the board of directors determined that we should seek to merge with a larger art company with established sales channels which could benefit from our technology.  


In 2008, we evaluated various strategies to best enhance value for our shareholders including the sale to or merger with a larger art or printing organization that would benefit from our technology.   To that end, we entered into discussions with multiple potential targets but were unable to reach definitive agreement with any such target.  Our largest client, Home Interior & Gifts, representing over 70% of our sales in 2007, declared bankruptcy in 2008 and, as a result, we don’t expect material future revenue from the customer.  In the second half of 2008, we began to sell assets of our subsidiary, New Era Studios, Inc. (New Era), to pay down New Era’s debts and to provide working capital for the company.  All sales were arms length and to non-affiliated entities.  We also raised $190,000 in interim bridge capital to support our operations and took steps to significantly lower our cost of operations.   


In 2009 and beyond, we are continuing to pursue and evaluate strategies to enhance shareholder value including the merger with a private company in industries outside the art and printing industries and we are actively winding down New Era.  We continue to take steps to lower our operating costs and continue to sell New Era assets to pay down New Era debts and help fund our working capital needs.    However, we cannot guarantee that these actions will ensure our continued operations.


Manufacturing


We operate in one  building with a total of a 11,000 square feet leased in Santa Fe Springs, California, approximately 15 miles south of Los Angeles, housing our pre-press, printing, framing and administrative departments.   Our predecessor has operated as a printer in the current facility for more than 10 years. We plan to vacate the building as the winding down of New Era is completed.

Major Suppliers


All of our raw materials, including frame molding, screen mesh, emulsion, staples and packaging materials are generally available and we source from multiple suppliers, except our proprietary inks and canvas.  Because our inks are proprietary, currently we sole source through TW Graphics in City of Commerce, California, We also sole source our canvas through Worthen Industries in Nashua, New Hampshire, due to its superior printing characteristics.  Historically, we have not suffered inadequate access to raw materials.  Our relations with each supplier are good.


Major Customers


The Company made sales to one customer, comprising 73% of total sales during the year ended December 31, 2008 and to two customers comprising 47% and 23% of total sales during the year ended December 31, 2007.  


Product Returns and Warranties


To date, we have not experienced product returns once a retailer’s distribution center has accepted our product.  We currently anticipate that any products a retailer returns it will ship to our facilities in Santa Fe Springs, California.  We anticipate that we will either place the returned products into inventory or destroy them if not subject to repair.  To date, we have not provided warranties on our product, but may in the future determine some form of warranty is appropriate.  If we provide a warranty to the consumer, we have not yet determined its form or substance.


Patents and Intellectual Property


We are currently prosecuting Application No. PCT/US2005/028501 filed with the USPT on February 8, 2007.  The Application describes and claims the mechanical deposit of ink to emulate hand painted original works of art.  This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 60/600,192 filed on August 10, 2004.  The applications cover the process and technology used to mechanically deposit ink in a way that emulates hand-applied brushstrokes and other artistic techniques.


We believe that the applications do not infringe on issued patents owned by others.  We believe that if we fail to receive the patents, our operations will not be substantially, adversely affected.  In addition to the patents being sought, we maintain some crucial information about our products as trade secrets, which we closely guard.  Also, we believe that to reverse engineer some of our technology would take a substantial amount of time and expense.  The US PTO has not granted the patent(s) to date, and there can no assurance that the patent will be granted.


Government Regulation and Certification


The Southern California Air Quality Management District regulates us in accordance with the Los Angeles County and Santa Fe Springs, California environmental regulations.  We believe that we are in substantial compliance with all regulations concerning the manufacturing, shipping and labeling of wall art.


Employees


We currently have two part-time employees.  We believe that our employee relations are good.  We intend to continue to conduct business primarily using our employees and consultants.  However, some consultants may become employees in the future. We have no union employees.

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS


The business, financial condition and operating results of Silvergraph International could be adversely affected by any of the following factors, in which event the value of the equity securities of Silvergraph International could decline, and investors could lose part or all of their investment. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to management, or that management currently thinks are immaterial, may also impair future business operations.  For purposes of the discussion of the following risk factors, references to “we” and “our”  shall include, unless otherwise indicated, Silvergraph International, Inc. as well as New Era Studios, Inc. (as statutory successor in interest to Silvergraph LGT, LLC) as it existed prior to the share exchange.


We have a history of losses and nominal operating results.


Silvergraph International, formerly known as Pinecrest Services, Inc., commenced operations as a shell in 1986, but has had no significant business prior to the share exchange.  New Era has, since inception through December 31, 2008, incurred an accumulated deficit of  $6,260,971.   We can offer no assurance that we will operate profitably or that we will generate positive cash flow in the future.  In addition, our operating results in the future may be subject to significant fluctuations due to many factors not within our control, such as the level of competition and general economic conditions.


Our operations will be subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of a developing enterprise and the uncertainties arising from the absence of a significant operating history.  We can give no assurance that we will be able to operate on a profitable basis which may lead to the entire loss of an investment in our common stock.


Due to the nature of our business and the early stage of our development, an investment in our securities is highly speculative. We are in the business of developing and distributing wall art.  The success of our business will depend on our ability to introduce and sell our wall art products to consumers, develop new product extensions and applications, and raise additional capital for operations, future expanded marketing and further product development. We have focused much of our business on developing and refining our patent-pending technology.  We are currently prosecuting a patent application to protect our proprietary intellectual property, which to date we have not received patent approval.  We have not realized a profit from our operations and there is little likelihood that we will realize any profits in the short or medium term.  In addition, our independent registered public accountants have ra ised substantial doubts in connection with their opinion related to our audited financial statements as to our ability to continue as a going concern.


We expect to continue to incur development and operating costs.  Consequently, we expect to incur operating losses and negative cash flows until our wall art products gain market acceptance, if ever, sufficient to generate a sustainable level of income.


We have had negative cash flows from operations since inception. We will require significant additional financing, the availability of which cannot be assured, and if we are unable to obtain such financing, our business may fail.


To date, we have had negative cash flows from operations and have depended on sales of our equity securities and debt financing to meet our cash requirements. Our ability to develop and, if warranted, commercialize our technologies, will be dependent upon our ability to raise significant additional financing. If we are unable to obtain such financing, we will not be able to fully develop our business. In addition, our independent registered public accountants have raised substantial doubts in connection with their opinion related to our audited financial statements as to our ability to continue as a going concern.  Specifically, in order to continue as a going concern we will need to:




8




·

raise additional funds to support our planned growth and carry out our business plan;

·

address competing technological and market developments; and

·

market and develop our wall art products.


We may not be able to obtain additional equity or debt financing on acceptable terms as required. Even if financing is available, it may not be available on terms that are favorable to us or in sufficient amounts to satisfy our requirements. If we require, but are unable to obtain, additional financing in the future, we may be unable to implement our business plan and our growth strategies, respond to changing business or economic conditions, withstand adverse operating results and compete effectively. More importantly, if we are unable to raise further financing when required, we may be forced to scale down our operations and our ability to generate revenues may be negatively affected.


We hold no patents on our proprietary technology and if we are not able to protect our proprietary technology, we may lose our competitiveness and suffer a material adverse effect.


We currently have one provisional patent application for our technologies. We rely on this provisional patent application and trade secrets to protect our proprietary intellectual property.  While we believe that we have adequately protected our proprietary technology, and we intend to take all appropriate and reasonable legal measures to protect it in the future, the use of our technology by a competitor could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, regulatory authorities may not grant us patents on our provisional or future patent applications.  Also, the scope of any future patent may not be sufficiently broad to offer meaningful protection.  In addition, third parties may successfully challenge, invalidate or circumvent patents granted to us so that such patent rights may not create an effective competitive barrier.  Further, the laws of foreign countries may provide inadequate protection of such intellectual property rights.  


We may become subject to intellectual property litigation which may be time-consuming and costly.


Our success depends in part on our ability to develop commercially viable products without infringing the proprietary rights of others.  Although we have not been subject to any filed infringement claims, other patents could exist or could be filed which may prohibit or limit our ability to market our products or maintain a competitive position.  In addition, we may need to bring legal claims to enforce or protect our own intellectual property rights.  In the event of an intellectual property dispute, we may have to litigate.  Regardless of whether we are successful, intellectual property litigation, including claims against us lacking merit, may be time-consuming, costly and may divert our attention from developing and marketing our products.  An adverse outcome could subject us to significant liabilities to third parties, result in the loss of goodwill associated with our business or force us to alt er, curtail or cease the development and commercialization of our products and technology.


Our board has determined to wind down New Era Studios, Inc.

 

The board has determined it in the best interest of the shareholders to wind down New Era Studios, Inc., the Company’s only operating subsidiary.  To that end, we are actively selling New Era’s assets to pay off New Era’s debts.  There is no guarantee the proceeds of the asset sales will be sufficient to pay off all of New Era’s debts.  While we are not contractually obligated to pay for New Era debts, we may determine it is in the shareholders’ interest to settle with New Era debt holders by offering consideration in the form of common stock.  



9





Our board has not made a determination of fairness regarding related-party transactions.


In prior years we entered into transactions with our president, director and 11.5% shareholder, William W. Lee, and other entities that he controls.  (See Item 13.  Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence, below).   Our board has not made a determination as to whether these related-party transactions were made on terms no less favorable than terms we could have obtained from unaffiliated third parties.  Our board has adopted a policy that any future transactions between us and our officers, directors or principal stockholders will require the approval of a majority of the disinterested directors and will be on terms no less favorable than we could obtain from an unaffiliated third party.


Failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could lead to loss of investor confidence in our reported financial information.


Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, beginning with this annual report we are required to furnish a report by our management on our internal control over financial reporting.  If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, then our business and operating results could be harmed, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, and the trading price of our stock could drop significantly.  In order to achieve compliance with Section 404 of the Act within the prescribed period, we have engaged in a process to document and evaluate our internal control over financial reporting, which has been challenging.  We cannot assure you as to our independent auditors’ conclusions at December 31, 2009 with respect to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.  There is a risk that our independent auditors will not be able to conc lude at December 31, 2009 that our internal controls over financial reporting are effective as required by Section 404 of the Act.


If we fail to achieve and maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, as such standards are modified, supplemented or amended from time to time, we may not be able to ensure that we can conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.  Moreover, effective internal controls, particularly those related to revenue recognition, are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and are important to helping prevent financial fraud.


Investors in our common stock may suffer future dilution from warrant exercises.


Future dilution to our shareholders may occur from warrant exercises. To date, we have granted warrants to purchase 11,829 shares of our common stock.  These warrants have a weighted average exercise price of $13.82 and have registration rights.  


If we issue additional shares in the future, it will result in dilution for our existing shareholders.


Our articles of incorporation authorize the issuance of up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock.  Our board of directors may choose to issue some or all of such shares to acquire one or more businesses or to provide additional financing in the future.  The issuance of any such shares will result in a reduction of the book value and market price of the outstanding shares of our common stock.  If we issue any such additional shares, such issuance will cause a reduction in the proportionate ownership and voting power of all current shareholders.



10





The SEC's penny stock regulations may restrict trading of our stock, which may limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.


The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions.  The penny stock rules, which initially govern our securities, impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors".  The term "accredited investor" refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual incomes for the last two years and anticipated incomes for this year exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse.  The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a f orm prepared by the SEC, which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market.  The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account.  A broker-dealer must provide to a customer orally or in writing the bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information prior to effecting the transaction.  In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these 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 agreement to the transaction.  These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing th e level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.


NASD sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.


In addition to the penny stock rules, the National Association of Securities Dealers has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer.  Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information.  Under interpretations of these rules, the NASD believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers.  The NASD requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit an investor’s ability to buy and sell our stock and may have an advers e effect on the market for our shares.


Our common stock is illiquid and factors unrelated to our operations may negatively impact the price of our common stock.


Our common stock currently trades on a limited basis on the Pink Sheets.  Trading of our stock through the Pink Sheets is frequently thin and highly volatile. There can be no assurances that a sufficient market will develop in the stock, in which case it could be difficult for shareholders to sell their stock.  The market price of our common stock could fluctuate substantially due to a variety of factors, trading volume in our common stock, changes in general conditions in the economy and the financial markets or other developments affecting our competitors or us.  In addition, the stock market is subject to extreme price and volume fluctuations.  This volatility has had a significant effect on the market price of securities issued by many companies for reasons unrelated to their operating performance and could have the same effect on our common stock.

ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS


On December 5, 2008, stockholders holding a majority of shares entitled to vote authorized by written consent

(a) an amendment and restatement of the Articles of Incorporation (“Amended Articles”) providing that the Company has elected not to be governed by the terms and provisions of Sections 78.378 through 73.3793, inclusive, of the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) pertaining to acquisition of a controlling interest by an interested stockholder, and Sections 78.411 through 78.444, inclusive, of the NRS, pertaining to combinations with interested stockholders; and (b) a reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding common stock in the range of from 1:30 to 1:66, as determined in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors.  The Company mailed to its shareholders on or about January 14, 2009, an Information Statement, which included information regarding these matters.  On February 24, 2009, the Board of Directors authorized by written consent to effect a 1-for-66 reverse split of the Company’s issued an d outstanding shares.  The reverse stock split was effective as of the open of business on March 24, 2009.  As a result of the reverse stock split, the outstanding shares of common stock issued and outstanding, were reduced to approximately 1,067,440 shares (every 66 shares of the Company’s common stock that were issued and outstanding as of March 23, 2009, were automatically combined into one issued and outstanding share of common stock, subject to the treatment of fractional shares as described in the Company’s Information Statement).  On March 24, 2009, the Company submitted to the Nevada Secretary of State the Amended Articles effecting the changes referenced above.


PART II


ITEM 5.  MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES


Market Information


Our common stock was previously listed, but was delisted from the OTC Bulletin Board on approximately May 20, 2009, due to failure to file this Form 10-K timely.  Our common stock is now on the Pink Sheets under the symbol “SVGP.”  The common stock is highly illiquid with the sales price as of this filing at $.0001 per share of common stock.  We do not have access to historical prices of the stock for 2007 and 2008.  


Our shares are subject to Section 15(g) and Rule 15g-9 of the Securities and Exchange Act, commonly referred to as the “penny stock” rule.  The rule defines penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions.  The rule provides that any equity security is considered to be a penny stock unless that security is:



12




·

registered and traded on a national securities exchange meeting specified criteria set by the SEC;

·

issued by a registered investment company;

·

excluded from the definition on the basis of price (at least $5.00 per share) or the issuer’s net tangible assets.  


Trading in the penny stocks is subject to additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors.  Accredited investors, in general, include certain institutional investors and individuals with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 together with their spouse.  


For transactions covered by these rules, broker-dealers must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of our securities and must have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase.  Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, the rules require the delivery, prior to the first transaction, of a risk disclosure document relating to the penny stock.  A broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, and current quotations for the security.  Finally, monthly statements must be sent to the purchaser disclosing recent price information for the penny stocks.  Consequently, these rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to trade or maintain a market in our common stock and may affect the ability of shareholders to sell their shares.


Holders


As of March 31, 2009 there were approximately 113 shareholders of record holding 1,067,440 shares of common stock. The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Holders of the common stock have no preemptive rights and no right to convert their common stock into any other securities. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock.


Dividends


We have not paid, nor declared, any dividends since our inception and do not intend to declare any such dividends in the foreseeable future. Our ability to pay dividends is subject to limitations imposed by Nevada law.  Under Nevada law, dividends may be paid to the extent that a corporation’s assets exceed its liabilities and it is able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business.


Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities


On February 6, 2008 we issued 15,152 shares to Mirador Consulting, Inc. in consideration for consulting services valued at $45,000.   We relied on an exemption from registration for a private transaction not involving a public distribution provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.


Issuer Purchase of Securities


None.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION


Executive Overview


In 2007, we experienced significant challenges due to the unexpected contraction of our business with our largest client.  In response, we attempted to accelerate the development of our in-house sales channel to home furnishings and accessory retailers.  To that end, in July 2007 we hired an art sales, marketing and design company based in Seattle which brought to us an existing client base.  To service and grow the Seattle group’s client base, we needed to raise capital which we were unable to accomplish on terms acceptable to us.  Accordingly, we terminated our contract with the Seattle group in December 2007.   Separately, without sufficient resources we were forced to cease our investment in the development of TxTura.  Given the challenges we were experiencing in developing sales channels and the unexpected contraction of our largest client, in December 2007, the board of directors determined that we should seek to merge with a larger art company with established sales channels which could benefit from our technology.  


In 2008, we evaluated various strategies to best enhance value for our shareholders including the sale to or merger with a larger art or printing organization that would benefit from our technology.   To that end, we entered into discussions with multiple potential targets but were unable to reach definitive agreement with any such target.  Our largest client, Home Interior & Gifts, representing over 47% of our sales in 2007, declared bankruptcy in 2008 and, as a result, we have not expected material future revenue from the customer.  In the second half of 2008, we began to wind down our subsidiary New Era Studios, Inc. (“New Era”), and to sell its assets, to pay down its debts and to provide working capital for the Company.  All sales were arms length and to non-affiliated entities.  We also raised $190,000 in interim bridge capital to support our operations and took steps to significa ntly lower our cost of operations.   






14






In 2009 and beyond, we are continuing to pursue and evaluate strategies to enhance shareholder value including the merger with a private company in industries outside the art and printing industries and we are actively winding down New Era.  We continue to take steps to lower our operating costs and continue to sell New Era assets to pay down New Era debts and help fund our working capital needs.    However, we cannot guarantee that these actions will ensure our continued operations.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


We derived our primary source of funds during the twelve months ended December 31, 2008 from the sale of additional equity and debt securities.  Working capital as of December 31, 2008 was negative $504,474 as compared to negative working capital of $727,248 as of December 31, 2007.  The cash balance at December 31, 2008 was $39,539 compared to $17,737 at December 31, 2007.


Net cash used in operating activities was $189,441 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008, as compared to $950,469 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007.  During each period presented, we used net cash principally to fund our net losses.


Net cash provided by financing activities was $158,744 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2008, as compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $948,730 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007. Net cash provided by financing activities during 2008 was principally related to the sale of additional debt and equity securities of $190,000.  


We have suffered recurring losses from operations and have an accumulated deficit of approximately $6,260,971 at December 31, 2008.  Additionally, as of December 31, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents of $39,539.  Primarily as a result of our recurring losses and our lack of liquidity, we have received a report from our independent auditors for our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 that includes an explanatory paragraph describing the uncertainty as to our ability to continue as a going concern. To continue our operations and to grow our current operations and to make acquisitions, if any, under our current business model during the next twelve months, we will need to secure additional working capital, by way of equity or debt financing, or otherwise.  After this twelve month period, we may need additional financing for working capital, and in the case of acquisitions for payment of seller notes and future earned cash to sellers of acquired companies. There can be no assurance that we will be able to secure sufficient financing or on terms acceptable to us. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, we would need to delay, limit or eliminate some or all of our proposed operations, and we may be unable to successfully promote our products or develop new or enhanced products or prosecute acquisitions, any of which could lower our revenues and net income, if we achieve profitability in the future.  If we raise additional funds through the issuance of convertible debt or equity securities, the percentage ownership of our current stockholders is likely to be diluted, unless some of our current stockholders were to invest in subsequent convertible debt or equity financings, and some of the newly issued securities may also have rights superior to those of the common stock.  Additionally, if we issue or incur debt to raise funds, we may be subject to limitations on our o perations.


Convertible Promissory Notes


In February 2008 the Company issued convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $150,000 pursuant to a subscription agreement, dated January 25, 2008, as amended, between Silvergraph and Thomas G. Schuster and Antaeus Capital Partners, LLC, accredited investors.  The subscription agreement provided that the subscribers would purchase a minimum of $100,000 and a maximum of $400,000 of 7% convertible promissory notes, due on June 30, 2008.  In April, 2008, the Company issued an additional $40,000 of the convertible promissory notes to two accredited investors. As of December 31, 2008, aggregate borrowings under these convertible notes (the “Notes”) were $190,000.




15





The Company will pay all interest due and owing on each Note by adding such amounts to the then outstanding principal balance of each Note, thereby increasing the outstanding principal balance of each Note. All the payments-in-kind shall accrue interest as though such amounts were original principal indebtedness. The Company will not pay any principal payments in cash prior to maturity.  If the Company combines via merger, acquisition, reverse merger or similar process with a private company doing business in the wall art industry (the “Combination”), the outstanding principal amount of the Notes together with all accrued but unpaid interest will automatically convert into shares of the Company’s common stock at the closing of such Combination at the conversion price, discussed below.  Each holder of a Note may convert in whole or in part the outstanding principal plus accr ued but unpaid interest into the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $5.28 per share.


The conversion price of the Notes, however, shall never be adjusted to less than $0.01 per share.  Additionally, the Notes provided that if the Company does not complete an anticipated Combination transaction with a private company by June 30, 2008 whereby the private company owns up to 80% of the surviving entity, the conversion price shall automatically be reduced to the lower of (i) $0.002 or (ii) the conversion price that would cause the majority holder of the Notes to own upon conversion the number of shares of common stock of the Company determined to be 51% of the outstanding common stock on a fully-diluted basis and the remaining holders of the Notes to own a pro rata number of common shares of common stock of the Company.  The Notes also require the Company to register the underlying shares of the Notes on its first filed registration statement subsequent to the issuance of Notes.


The Notes will be secured by all of the assets of New Era Studios, Inc., the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, under a security agreement.  Silvergraph may not prepay the Notes and so long as the Notes are outstanding, the Company must obtain written approval from the note holders for certain actions identified in the Notes, including, but not limited to, the issuance of debt, acquisition or sale of a material asset and issuance of dividends to common stockholders.  The security agreement will be null and void if the Notes convert into a majority of Silvergraph’s common stock.  In addition, the holders of the Notes have a right of first refusal on all equity financings contemplated by Silvergraph.


On June 30, 2008, Silvergraph and the holders of the Notes entered into an amendment to the agreement that created a formula for the calculation of the optional conversion price, and extended the initial due of the Notes of June 30, 2008, to August 31, 2008.


On August 31, 2008 Silvergraph and the holders of the Notes due August 31, 2008 entered into a 3 rd amendment to the Notes due August 31, 2008 that extended the due dates of the Notes from August 31, 2008 to October 31, 2008 and amended the terms of a mandatory conversion. Simultaneous with the closing of a transaction whereby the Company combines via merger, acquisition, reverse merger or similar process with a private company (“Merger”), the principal amount of the Notes and accrued but unpaid interest shall immediately and automatically convert into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock in accordance with the following:


(i)  Should a Noteholder at its discretion decline Borrower’s offer of prepayment, if any, within three (3) days of receipt of written prepayment notice from Borrower, then the conversion price shall be equal to fifty percent (50%) of the purchase price of common stock or the conversion price as the case may be paid by investor(s) in a transaction closing simultaneously with a merger (“Outside Investor”) or in the case where a merger is completed without a simultaneous transaction with an Outside Investor, then the conversion price shall be equal to fifty percent (50%) of four multiplied by the EBITDA of the private company for the trailing twelve month period.



16





(ii) Should the Noteholder at its discretion accept Borrower’s offer of prepayment, if any, within three (3) days of receipt of written prepayment notice from Borrower, then the Holder shall be entitled to Common Stock in amount equal to the amount of principal and accrued interest of the Note outstanding immediately preceding Prepayment divided by the purchase price of common stock or the conversion price as the case may be paid by Investor(s) in a transaction closing simultaneously with a merger (“Outside Investor”) or in the case where a merger is completed without a simultaneous transaction with an Outside Investor, then the conversion price shall be equal to four multiplied by the EBITDA of the private company for the trailing twelve month period.


(iii) If the Borrower does not provide Noteholder the option of prepayment, then the conversion price shall be equal to twenty five percent (25%) of the purchase price of common stock or the conversion price as the case may be paid by Investor(s) in a transaction closing simultaneously with a merger (“Outside Investor”) or in the case where a merger is completed without a simultaneous transaction an with Outside Investor, then the conversion price shall be equal to twenty five percent (25%) of four multiplied by the EBITDA of the private company for the trailing twelve month period.


On November 12, 2008, Silvergraph and holders of the Notes due August 31, 2008, entered into Amendment to Loan Transaction.  Under the terms of the Amendment, the Company was granted an extension to the maturity date of the Notes from October 31, 2008 to December 15, 2008.  In addition, pursuant to the Amendment, as consideration for such extension, the Company has agreed to issue to the Holders, pro rata, a total of 136,364 shares of Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.001 (the “Shares”).  


On December 29, 2008, Silvergraph and holders of the  Notes due December 15, 2008, entered into Amendment to Loan Transaction Under the terms of the Amendment, the Company was granted an extension to the maturity date of the Notes from December 15, 2008 to January 31, 2009.  The Notes have been due since January 31, 2009, but the Company and the Noteholders are currently in discussions concerning an amendment.


Note payable - stockholder


One of our shareholders loaned $280,000 to the Company in June 2006. In consideration of this loan, the Company issued a promissory note in the principal amount of $280,000, plus 7% interest per annum on the outstanding principal, which note was amended and restated in its entirety on August 14, 2006. The amended and restated note was originally due and payable by the Company on September 23, 2006.  The Company issued a second amended and restated promissory note to extend the maturity date of the note from September 23, 2006 to December 31, 2006.  The shareholder did not, pursuant to the terms of the amended and restated note, elect to require the Company to pay to it the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest on the note during the period beginning September 23, 2006 and continuing up to and including the issuance of the second amended and restated note on Septembe r 27, 2006.  The second amended and restated note was amended and restated in its entirety by the Company’s issuance of a third amended and restated promissory note on December 31, 2006, which extends the maturity date of the note from December 31, 2006 to June 30, 2007. During May 2007, the Company and the note holder agreed that upon the closing of a New Notes capital raise with net proceeds of at least $500,000, the note holder will agree to receive a cash payment of 10% of the net proceeds of the New Notes and convert the remaining balance to the New Notes or other security containing materially similar characteristics. As of December 31, 2007, $280,000 of this note payable was outstanding.


On April 2008, the $280,000 note and $34,300 of accrued interest was converted into 58,949 common shares (at $5.28 per share).

Mirador Consulting, Inc. Agreement


Silvergraph entered into Consulting Agreement with Mirador Consulting, Inc., a Florida  Corporation (“Mirador”) that was effective January 10, 2008.  For a term of one year, Mirador will provide consulting services in connection with management consulting, corporate finance and shareholder communications and will use it best efforts to introduce Silvergraph to various members of the financial community.  In consideration for Mirador’s service we will pay $1,000 per month until April 31, 2008 and $3,000 a month thereafter for the remainder of the one year term.  We issued 15,152 shares to Mirador upon the signing of the Consulting Agreement and agreed to issue 12,121 shares to Mirador upon the closing of our combination with a private company.  These shares are restricted and have “piggy back” registration rights.  In the event that Mirador introduces Silvergraph to an institution or individual that provides funding to the Company, then we will pay five percent of the total amount of the net transaction to Mirador.


Mirador agreed to maintain the confidentiality of any material non-public information or data it might receive from Silvergraph, unless we provide written consent and approval for the disclosure.  The parties agreed to indemnify each other for any damages caused by the other party and the consulting agreement may be terminated with or without cause by providing a thirty day written notification to the other party.


Results of Operations for Years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007


Revenues.    Our revenues decreased $140,072 or 54%, to $120,963 for the year ended December 31, 2008, as compared to $261,035 for the year ended December 31, 2007.   The decrease in revenues was due primarily to the lack of orders by our largest customer who filed for bankruptcy in 2008.


Gross profit.    Cost of sales consists primarily of raw material and component costs, manufacturing and supervisory labor, manufacturing overhead costs and royalties.  The gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $97,323, an increase of $312,242 or 145% as compared to a gross loss of $214,919 for the year ended December 31, 2007.   The Company’s significant negative gross margin during the year ended 2007 was due to the lack of capitalization of normal fixed manufacturing costs.


Operating expenses.    Operating expenses consist of selling and marketing expenses, which are primarily salaries, commissions and promotional expenses, and general and administrative expenses, which are primarily salaries and bonuses, rent expense, depreciation and professional services such as legal and accounting fees.  Operating expenses decreased by $624,911 or 54% to $523,239 for the year ended December 31, 2008 versus $1,148,150 for the year ended December 31, 2007.  The decrease in operating expenses was principally due to additional cost cutting measures enacted by the Company during 2008.  


Other expense.    Other expense principally consists of interest income and expense, as well as non-operational revenues or expenses earned or incurred by us.  We had other expenses of $1,592,473 during the year ended December 31, 2008 versus other expense of $619,885 during the year ended December 31, 2007.  The significant charges were due to additional interest expense, related to a beneficial conversion feature, recognized from the issuance of convertible notes payable during the year ended December 31, 2007, and from the modification of the conversion rates for outstanding debt during the year ended December 31, 2008.  In addition, the Company recognized financing costs of $1,170,000 in fiscal 2009 when 136,364 common shares were issued to extend the maturity date on its convertible promissory note.


Inflation and Seasonality


Inflation has not been material to us during the past five years. Although seasonality has not historically been material, we believe that as our business expands, seasonality will begin to affect our quarterly results of operations.

Critical Accounting Policies


 The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported. Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements describes the significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Certain of these significant accounting policies are considered to be critical accounting policies, as defined below. On a regular basis, we review the accounting policies we use in reporting our financial results.


 A critical accounting policy is one that is both material to the presentation of our combined financial statements and requires us to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments that could have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Specifically, critical accounting estimates have the following attributes:


·

we have to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time of the estimate; and


·

different estimates we could reasonably have used, or changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur, would have a material effect on the our financial condition or results of operations.


We cannot make estimates and assumptions about future events or determine their effects with certainty. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be applicable and reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates may change as new events occur, as we obtain additional information and as our operating environment changes. These changes have historically been minor and we have included them in the combined financial statements as soon as they became known.  In addition, we periodically face uncertainties, the outcomes of which are not within our control and we will not know for prolonged periods of time. Based on a critical assessment of our accounting policies and the underlying judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of those policies, we believe that our combined financial statements are fairly stated in accordance with accounting principles gener ally accepted in the United States of America, and present a meaningful presentation of our financial condition and results of operations.


We believe that the following are our critical accounting policies:


Revenue Recognition  


We recognize revenue from gross product sales, including freight charges, and revenues from the license of products, in compliance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 and No. 104 which require that:


·

title and risk of loss have passed to the customer;

·

there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement;

·

delivery has occurred or services have been rendered;

·

the sales price is fixed and determinable;

·

collectability is reasonably assured; and

·

customer acceptance criteria, if any, have been successfully demonstrated.


Accounts Receivable


We extend credit to our customers.  We generally do not require collateral.  We provide for credit losses in the combined financial statements based on our evaluation of historical and current industry trends. Although we expect to fully collect amounts due, actual collections may differ from estimated amounts.




19




Inventories


We state inventories at the lower of cost or market.  We determine cost on a standard cost basis which approximates the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.  We give appropriate consideration to obsolescence, excessive levels, deterioration and other factors in evaluating net realizable value.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our filings under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).  This information is accumulated and communicated to our executive officers to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report and concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.


Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting


Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are responsible to design or supervise a process to be effected by our board of directors that provides reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  The policies and procedures include:


·

maintenance of records in reasonable detail to accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of  assets,

·

provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with  generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors, and

·

provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.


For the year ended December 31, 2008, management has relied on the COSO framework to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and based upon that framework, management has determined that our internal control over financial reporting is effective.  A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can



20




provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.


Our management determined that there were no changes made in our internal controls over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.


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

Employment Contracts and Termination of Employment and Change in Control Arrangements


On April 11, 2008 James R. Martin, William W. Lee and James R.

During the year ended December 31, 2006, Mr. Martin’s employment agreement provided that Mr. Martin would receive an annual base salary of $82,000.  In addition, his agreement provided that he would receive a signing incentive of $27,000 as well as a commission on the gross sales of New Era.  Mr. Martin received a 5% commission on all gross sales of New Era until the Company fully paid the signing incentive, at which time the commission percentage became 2.5% on all gross sales.  In 2006, Mr. Martin received $8,878 in signing incentive payment.  Each employment agreement provided that in the event that we terminate the executive without cause or if the executive resigns for certain designated reasons, the executive retains his monthly base salary for twenty-four (24) months after the month of termination and payment thirty (30) days after termination of any incentive bonus for measurement periods alre ady ended at the date of termination.  The executive was also entitled to receive benefits from Silvergraph International for eighteen (18) months following such termination.  Each of these employment agreements provided for a reduction in severance pay in the event that the executive earns any base compensation from another employer during the period of base salary continuation.  However, the termination provisions were waived pursuant to the Termination Agreement that Messrs.

Stock Option Plan


Our board of directors approved a stock option plan on June 26, 2006.  The purpose of the 2006 stock option plan is to promote our interests by attracting key employees and directors, providing each of our key employees and directors with an additional incentive to work to increase the value of our common stock and providing key employees and directors with a stake in our future, which corresponds to the stake of the stockholders.  Our Board reserved for issuance a total of 15,152 shares of common stock under the 2006 stock option plan.  We have not granted any options to date.  Our Board in approving the 2006 stock option plan has recommended that the shareholders approve this 2006 stock option plan.  The stock option plan has not been approved by the Company’s shareholders.




24




Each stock option granted under the 2006 stock option plan will entitle the holder to purchase the number of shares of common stock specified in the grant at the purchase price specified.  The 2006 stock option plan authorizes the Compensation Committee to grant:


·

incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code to key employees, and

·

non-qualified stock options under the Internal Revenue Code to key employees or non-employee directors.


If an option granted under the 2006 stock option plan expires, is cancelled or is exchanged for a new option before a holder exercises the option in full, the shares reserved for the unexercised portion of the option will become available again for use under the 2006 stock option plan. Shares underlying an option that a holder surrenders and shares used to satisfy an option price or withholding obligation will not again become available for use under the 2006 stock option plan.


Warrant


New Era and Bandari Beach Lim & Cleland LLP are parties to a letter of understanding governing Gary Freeman’s employment on a part-time basis as New Era’s chief financial officer.  Pursuant to this letter of understanding, New Era granted to Mr. Freeman a warrant to purchase 7,397 shares of Silvergraph common stock at an exercise price of $9.17.  The warrant has a term of five years and was subject to a right to cancel Mr. Freeman’s right to exercise up to 50% of the shares underlying the warrant in the event that Bandari or Mr. Freeman cancelled the letter agreement for reasons not involving nonpayment of fees to Bandari, material adverse alteration of Mr. Freeman’s duties as chief financial officer, breach, fraud or other designated reasons.  Our right to cancel up to 50% of Mr. Freeman’s exercise rights expired June 30, 2007.

Investor Relations Agreement

On January 22, 2007 we entered into an agreement with RJ Falkner & Company, Inc. for a period of at least one year whereby RJ Falkner & Company, Inc. would provide investor relations support to the Company beginning February 1, 2007.  The agreement required the Company to pay a cash retainer of $3,000 per month in advance and to cover expenses.  Further, the Company issued a total of 852 shares of its restricted common stock to R. Jerry Falkner as payment in full.  The agreement allowed the Company to halt issuance of future stock grants by agreeing to increase the monthly retainer to $5,000.  The Company also agreed to issue R. Jerry Falkner a ten-year stock option to purchase 1,515 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock with an exercise price of $47.52 per share.


The agreement carries registration rights for the common stock to be issued whereby the Company agreed to register the shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 24 months of the start date of the agreement.  Should the Company fail to register the shares, the previously granted option shall become a cashless exercise option.


Beneficial Ownership


The following table sets forth as of March 31, 2009, the name and the number of shares of our common stock, par value, $0.001 per share, held of record or beneficially by each person who held of record, or was known by the Company to own beneficially more than 5% of the 1,067,440 issued and outstanding shares of our common stock, and the name and shareholdings of each director and of all officers and directors as a group.

ITEM 13.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS,

AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE


Related Transactions


The following information summarizes transactions we have either engaged since the beginning of the last fiscal year, or propose to engage in, involving our executive officers, directors, more than 5% stockholders, or immediate family members of these persons.  These transactions were negotiated between related parties without “arms length” bargaining and, as a result, the terms of these transactions may be different than transactions negotiated between unrelated persons.  


Our board has not made a determination as to whether the related-party transactions described below were made on terms no less favorable than terms we could have obtained from unaffiliated third parties.  Our board has adopted a policy that any future transactions between us and our officers, directors or principal stockholders will require the approval of a majority of the disinterested directors and will be on terms no less favorable than we could obtain from an unaffiliated third party.

In March 2003, Lee Graphic Technologies, Inc., a California corporation located in Santa Fe Springs, California and owned by William W. Lee, one of our directors and our president, entered into a 60 month capital lease related to the multi-station press with Interchange Equipment, Inc.  Interchange subsequently assigned this lease to The CIT Group.  Under the terms of the lease, Lee Graphic pays CIT Group $7,821 per month, and Lee Graphic has the right to purchase the multi-station press for $35,000 at the end of the 60 month term.  The capital lease has 21 months remaining as of June 2006.  Lee Graphic is not in default on its capital lease with CIT Group.  On March 15, 2005, we entered into a multi-year contract with Lee Graphic for exclusive use of the multi-station press pursuant to which we pay to Lee Graphic $8,000 per month and pay for all maintenance.  Our contract also specifies that at th e end of the term of the capital lease, we will pay to Lee Graphic $35,000, which it shall use to exercise the purchase option and thereafter transfer ownership to us within five business days.


On July 26, 1993, Mr. Lee leased a 11,500 square foot property located at 11919 Burke Street, Santa Fe Springs, California 90670-2507.  Pursuant to this lease, Mr. Lee currently pays to the lessor, an unaffiliated party, $5,832.75 per month, which is approximately $.507 per square foot, equal to $69,993 per annum.  Beginning January 1, 2007, Mr. Lee’s rent will increase to $.522  per square feet, equal to $72,072 per annum; and beginning January 1, 2008, Mr. Lee’s rent will increase again to $5.37 per square feet, equal to $74,151 per annum.  Mr. Lee is not in default on this lease.  We and New Era entered into a sublease with Mr. Lee for this property, pursuant to which we pay Mr. Lee $5,832.75 per month, which is the same amount Mr. Lee currently pays under his lease.  In addition, our rent under the sublease will increase in the same amount as will Mr. Lee’s under his lease. &nb sp;We agreed under the sublease with Mr. Lee that we will grant to him a security interest in all of the assets of New Era for our failure to make payments under the sublease.


In addition, Mr. Lee made advances to Lee Graphic from time to time in the aggregate amount of $103,045.  Lee Graphic and New Era entered into an instrument of transfer and assignment on April 1, 2006 pursuant to which Lee Graphic transferred and assigned all of its assets, rights, liabilities and obligations to New Era.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the instrument specifically excludes Lee Graphic’s obligation to repay Mr. Lee for the advances he made to Lee Graphic from time to time and the rights and obligations of Lee Graphic arising under the CIT Group capital lease described above.  Both of these obligations remain the obligations of Lee Graphic and not New Era.  


New Era and Bandari Beach Lim & Cleland LLP are parties to a letter of understanding governing Gary Freeman’s employment on a part-time basis as New Era’s chief financial officer.  Pursuant to this letter of understanding, New Era granted to Mr. Freeman a warrant to purchase 7,397 shares of New Era common stock at an exercise price of $9.17 for a term of five years; provided, however, that New Era retained the right to cancel Mr. Freeman’s right to exercise up to 50% of the shares underlying the warrant in the event that Bandari or Mr. Freeman cancel the letter agreement for reasons not involving nonpayment of fees to Bandari, material adverse alteration of Mr. Freeman’s duties as chief financial officer, breach, fraud or other designated reasons.  Our right to cancel up to 50% of Mr. Freeman’s exercise rights underlying the warrant decreased ratably each month beginning July 1, 2006 and end ing June 30, 2007, at which time we no longer have the ability to cancel any percentage of Mr. Freeman’s exercise rights.

We do not have any independent directors serving on our board of directors.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm




To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Silvergraph International, Inc.  



We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Silvergraph International, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years then ended. 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 standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 audit 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 co nsolidated financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Silvergraph International, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses and negative cash flows from operating activities, which have resulted in a negative working capital and a stockholders' deficit. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

SILVERGRAPH INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

TWELVE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2008 AND 2007


NOTE 1—THE COMPANY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


The Company


Silvergraph International, Inc. ("Silvergraph" or the “Company”) is a designer, manufacturer, marketer and branded retailer of fine-art reproductions, art-based home decorative accessories, collectibles and gift products. Silvergraph's primary products are canvas and paper lithographs as well as other forms of fine-art reproductions. Silvergraph distributes products through a variety of distribution channels, including corporate and independently owned retail stores, independent dealers and strategic partners.  We are currently assessing various strategies to best enhance value for our shareholders including combining with a larger organization that would benefit from our technology and platform.  To that end, on a confidential basis, we have entered into formal discussions with multiple private companies, have raised interim bridge capital to support our operati ons and have taken significant steps to lower our cost of operations.


As of and subsequent to the share exchange described below, the historical financial statements included the combined accounts of Silvergraph LGT, LLC (“Silvergraph LLC”) and its combined affiliate Lee Graphic Technologies, Inc. (“LGT”, and combined with Silvergraph LLC also referred to as the “Company”). These financial statements were combined due to the following facts:


·

The companies have been operated as one business over the past three (4) years,

·

The managing member and owners of 28% of Silvergraph LLC’s membership interests own 100% of LGT, and

·

The business assets, liabilities, business contacts and intellectual property of LGT were transferred at no cost to Silvergraph LLC on April 1, 2006, which was merged into New Era Studios, Inc. (“New Era”) on June 9, 2006, which then consummated a share exchange with Pinecrest Services, Inc. (“Pinecrest”) effective June 23, 2006.


Culminating with the Company’s share exchange effective June 23, 2006, the Company consummated a series of transactions as detailed below:


·

On April 1, 2006, LGT transferred all of their business assets and liabilities to Silvergraph LLC

·

Silvergraph LLC merged into New Era, a Nevada shell corporation, effective June 9, 2006, and

·

On June 23, 2006, New Era was acquired by Pinecrest.  The Company exchanged 100% of its outstanding common stock for 32,400,015 shares of Pinecrest common stock. The transaction was accounted for as a recapitalization with the Company deemed the accounting acquirer, and Pinecrest the legal acquirer.  Additionally, the Company paid $280,000 to certain shareholders of Pinecrest for 15,000,000 shares of their outstanding common stock, which were immediately retired (See Note 3).  This payment, along with other expenses associated with the share exchange, has been reflected as reorganization expenses in the Company’s accompanying income statements.  Simultaneous with the closing of the share exchange, Pinecrest changed its name to Silvergraph International, Inc.


Going Concern


The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has suffered recurring losses from its operations since its inception and has an accumulated deficit of $6,260,971  at December 31, 2008. Additionally, as of December 31, 2008, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $504,474 and a stockholders’ deficiency of $504,474.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue its existence. The recovery of the Company’s assets is dependent upon continued operations of the


F-7




Company.  In addition, the Company's recovery is dependent upon future events, the outcome of which is undetermined. The Company intends to continue to attempt to raise additional capital, but there can be no certainty that such efforts will be successful.


In 2009 and beyond, we are continuing to pursue and evaluate strategies to enhance shareholder value including the merger with a private company in industries outside the art and printing industries.  We continue to take steps to lower our operating costs and continue to sell New Era assets to pay down New Era debts and help fund our working capital needs.  However, we cannot guarantee that these actions will ensure our continued operations.


Reverse Stock Split


On December 5, 2008, stockholders holding a majority of shares entitled to vote authorized by written consent a reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding common stock in the range of from 1:30 to 1:66, as determined in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors.  As indicated above, the Company mailed to its shareholders on or about January 14, 2009, an Information Statement, which included information regarding the reverse stock split.  The Company had a total of 70,450,976 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, and authorized capital of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share before the reverse split.  On February 24, 2009, the Board of Directors authorized by written consent to effect a 1-for-66 reverse split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares.  The reverse stock split took effect at the open of business on March 24, 2009.  As a result of the reverse stock split, the outstanding shares of common stock issued and outstanding, were reduced to 1,067,440 shares (every 66 shares of the Company’s common stock that were issued and outstanding as of March 23, 2009.

The attached consolidated financial statements are retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split as if the split occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented.  


Revenue Recognition


The Company recognizes revenue from gross product sales, including freight charges, and revenues from the license of products, in compliance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101") and No. 104 (“SAB 104”) which require that title and risk of loss have passed to the customer, there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the sales price is fixed and determinable, collectability is reasonably assured, and customer acceptance criteria, if any, have been successfully demonstrated.


Property and equipment


Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation and amortization are computed on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives:

 

 

 

Machinery and equipment

 

5-10 years

Furniture and fixtures

 

7 years

Leasehold improvements

 

Lesser of 7 to 10 years or life of lease

Computer hardware and software

 

5 years

Vehicles

 

7 years


Equity-based compensation


The Company periodically issues stock options and warrants to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs. The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123R effective January 1, 2006, and is using the modified prospective method in which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123R for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123R for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 123R that remained unvested on the effective date.


F-8





The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with EITF No. 96-18: "Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services” and EITF No. 00-18: “Accounting Recognition for Certain Transactions involving Equity Instruments Granted to Other Than Employees” whereas the value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete.


Use of Estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates are used in the accounting for revenues, allowance for doubtful accounts, product returns and other sales allowances, inventory reserves, depreciation and amortization, lease guarantees, long-lived assets and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Significant customers


The Company made sales to one customer, comprising 73% of total sales during the year ended December 31, 2008 and to two customers comprising 47% and 23% of total sales during the year ended December 31, 2007.  


Earnings (loss) per share


Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share", requires presentation of basic earnings per share ("Basic EPS") and diluted earnings per share ("Diluted EPS"). Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing earnings (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.


Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution, using the treasury stock method, that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company.  In computing diluted earnings per share, the treasury stock method assumes that outstanding options and warrants are exercised and the proceeds are used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.  Options and warrants will have a dilutive effect under the treasury stock method only when the average market price of the common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the options and warrants. As the Company had a loss in the twelve months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, basic and diluted loss per share are the same.  At both December 31, 2008 and 2007, potentially dilutive securities consisted of outstanding common stock purchase warrants and stock options to acquire an aggregate of 14,178 common shares.


Fair value of financial instruments


The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these items. The carrying amounts of notes payable, convertible notes payable, its line of credit and capital lease obligation approximate fair value, because the related effective rates on these instruments approximate rates currently available to the Company.


The Company partially adopted SFAS 157 on January 1, 2008, delaying application for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities as permitted. This statement establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels as follows:



F-9





 

 

 

 

 

 

Level 1 — quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical asset or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date. Financial assets and liabilities utilizing Level 1 inputs include active exchange-traded securities and exchange-based derivatives.

 

 

Level 2 — inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data. Financial assets and liabilities utilizing Level 2 inputs include fixed income securities, non-exchange-based derivatives, mutual funds, and fair-value hedges.

 

 

Level 3 — unobservable inputs for the asset or liability only used when there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. Financial assets and liabilities utilizing Level 3 inputs include infrequently-traded, non-exchange-based derivatives and commingled investment funds, and are measured using present value pricing models.


In accordance with SFAS 157, the Company determines the level in the fair value hierarchy within which each fair value measurement in its entirety falls, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.


The Company had no financial assets measured and recorded at fair value on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets on a recurring basis and their level within the fair value hierarchy during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements


In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets. FSP FAS 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The intent of the position is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS 141R, Business Combinations , and other U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The provisions of FSP FAS 142-3 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is prohibited. We do not anticipate that the adoption of the FSP FAS 142-3 will have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flow.


In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS 162”). SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States (the GAAP hierarchy). This Statement is effective on November 15, 2008.   The Company currently adheres to the hierarchy of GAAP as presented in SFAS No. 162 and does not expect its adoption will have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.


As of January 1, 2009, the Company adopted EITF Issue No. 07-5 “Determining whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” (“EITF No. 07-5”). Paragraph 11(a) of SFAS 133 “Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities” specified that a contract that would otherwise meet the definition of a derivative but is both (a) indexed to the Company’s own stock and (b) classified in stockholders’ equity in the statement of financial position would not be considered a derivative financial instrument. EITF No. 07-5 provided a new two-step model to be applied in determining whether a financial instrument or an embedded feature is indexed to an issuer’s own stock and thus able to qualify for the SFAS 133 paragraph 11(a) scope exception. The adoption of EITF No. 07-5 did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

NOTE 3—DEBT


Convertible Promissory Notes


In February 2008 the Company issued convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $150,000 pursuant to a subscription agreement, dated January 25, 2008, as amended, between Silvergraph and Thomas G. Schuster and Antaeus Capital Partners, LLC, accredited investors.  The subscription agreement provided that the subscribers would purchase a minimum of $100,000 and a maximum of $400,000 of 7% convertible promissory notes, due on June 30, 2008.  In April, 2008, the Company issued an additional $40,000 of the convertible promissory notes to two accredited investors. As of December 31, 2008, aggregate borrowings under these convertible Notes Payable were $190,000.


The Company will pay all interest due and owing on each note by adding such amounts to the then outstanding principal balance of each note, thereby increasing the outstanding principal balance of each note. All the payments-in-kind shall accrue interest as though such amounts were original principal indebtedness. The Company will not pay any principal payments in cash prior to maturity.  If the Company combines via merger, acquisition, reverse merger or similar process with a private company doing business in the wall art industry (the “Combination”), the outstanding principal amount of the notes together with all accrued but unpaid interest will automatically convert into shares of the Company’s common stock at the closing of such Combination at the conversion price, discussed below.  Each holder of a Note may convert in whole or in part the outstanding principal plus accr ued but unpaid interest into the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.08 per share.

The conversion price of the note, however, shall never be adjusted to less than $0.01 per share.  Additionally, if the Company does not complete an anticipated Combination transaction with a private company by June 30, 2008 whereby the private company owns up to 80% of the surviving entity, the conversion price shall automatically be reduced to the lower of (i) $0.002 or (ii) the conversion price that would cause the majority holder of the notes to own upon conversion the number of shares of common stock of the Company determined to be 51% of the outstanding common stock on a fully-diluted basis and the remaining holders of the notes to own a pro rata number of common shares of common stock of the Company.  The Company also is required to register the underlying shares of the convertible promissory notes on its first filed registration statement subsequent to the issuance of such notes.

The notes will be secured by all of the assets of New Era Studios, Inc., the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, under a security agreement.  Silvergraph may not prepay the notes and so long as the notes are outstanding, the Company must obtain written approval from the note holders for certain actions identified in the notes, including, but not limited to, the issuance of debt, acquisition or sale of a material asset and issuance of dividends to common stockholders.  The security agreement will be null and void if the notes convert into a majority of Silvergraph’s common stock.  In addition, the holders of the notes have a right of first refusal on all equity financings contemplated by Silvergraph.


On June 30, 2008, Silvergraph and the holders of the 7% notes entered into an amendment to the agreement that created a formula for the calculation of the optional conversion price, and extended the initial due of the notes of June 30, 2008, to August 31, 2008.


On August 31, 2008 Silvergraph and the holders of the 7% Notes due August 31, 2008 entered into a 3 rd amendment to the 7% Notes due August 31, 2008 that extended the due dates of the notes from August 31, 2008 to October 31, 2008 and amended the terms of a Mandatory Conversion. Simultaneous with the closing of a transaction whereby the Company combines via merger, acquisition, reverse merger or similar process with a private company (“Merger”), this Note and accrued but unpaid interest shall immediately and automatically convert into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock in accordance with the following:


(i)  Should the Holder at its discretion decline Borrower’s offer of Prepayment, if any, within three (3) days of receipt of written Prepayment notice from Borrower, then the conversion price shall be equal to fifty percent (50%) of the purchase price of common stock or the conversion price as the case may be paid by Investor(s) in a transaction closing simultaneously with a Merger (“Outside Investor”) or in the case where a Merger is completed without a simultaneous transaction with an Outside Investor, then the conversion price shall be equal to fifty percent (50%) of four multiplied by the EBITDA of the private company for the trailing twelve month period.


(ii) Should the Holder at its discretion accept Borrower’s offer of Prepayment, if any, within three (3) days of receipt of written Prepayment notice from Borrower, then the Holder shall be entitled to Common Stock in amount equal to the amount of principal and accrued interest of the Note outstanding immediately preceding Prepayment divided by the purchase price of common stock or the conversion price as the case may be paid by Investor(s) in a transaction closing simultaneously with a Merger (“Outside Investor”) or in the case where a Merger is completed without a simultaneous transaction with an Outside Investor, then the conversion price shall be equal to four multiplied by the EBITDA of the private company for the trailing twelve month period.


(iii) If the Borrower does not provide Holder the option of Prepayment, then the conversion price shall be equal to twenty five percent (25%) of the purchase price of common stock or the conversion price as the case may be paid by Investor(s) in a transaction closing simultaneously with a Merger (“Outside Investor”) or in the case where a Merger is completed without a simultaneous transaction an with Outside Investor, then the conversion price shall be equal to twenty five percent (25%) of four multiplied by the EBITDA of the private company for the trailing twelve month period.


On November 12, 2008, Silvergraph and holders of the 7% Convertible Promissory Notes due August 31, 2008, entered into Amendment to Loan Transaction.  Under the terms of the Amendment, the Company was granted an extension to the maturity date of the Notes from October 31, 2008 to December 15, 2008.  In addition, pursuant to the Amendment, as consideration for such extension, the Company has agreed to issue to the Holders, pro rata, a total of 136,364 shares of Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.001 (the “Shares”).  


On December 29, 2008, Silvergraph and holders of the 7% Convertible Promissory Notes due December 15, 2008, entered into Amendment to Loan Transaction Under the terms of the Amendment, the Company was granted an extension to the maturity date of the Notes from December 15, 2008 to January 31, 2009.

NOTE 4—NOTES PAYABLE


Line of credit


The Company has a $50,000 revolving bank line-of-credit, which automatically renews unless an event of default occurs.  Borrowings under the facility bear interest at the bank's prime rate plus 2%.  The facility is secured by substantially all of the Company's assets. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company had $41,699 and $43,593 outstanding under this line of credit.


Due to Shareholder


During 2007, the Company received $21,701 of advances from shareholders.  This amount is due upon demand from such shareholders, and bear interest at a rate of ten percent (10%) per annum.  The balances of such advances were $13,701 and $21,701 as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.


NOTE 5—EQUITY


Shares issued for services


During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company issued 18,842 shares of its common stock valued at $99,486 to various consultants.  Such costs are included in operating expenses in our accompanying statement of operations for the year ending December 31, 2008.


The Company entered into consulting agreement with a consultant that was effective January 10, 2008.  For a term of one year, the consultant will provide consulting services in connection with management consulting, corporate finance and shareholder communications and will use it best efforts to introduce the Company to various members of the financial community.  In consideration for the consultant’s services the Company agreed to pay $1,000 per month until April 30, 2008 and $3,000 a month thereafter for the remainder of the one year term.  In accordance with the agreement, the Company issued 15,152 shares to the consultant valued at $45,000 upon the signing of the agreement and agreed to issue 12,121 shares to the consultant upon the closing of the Company’s combination with a private company.  As the Company has not yet completed the combination with a private comp any, the Company has not accounted for the 12,121 shares.  These shares are restricted and have “piggy back” registration rights.  In the event that the consultant introduces the Company to an institution or individual that provides funding to the Company, then the Company will pay five percent of the total amount of the net transaction to the consultant.


Conversion of Debt to Equity


During 2006 the Company issued convertible notes payable (the “Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $325,000 and warrants to purchase 143,000 shares of our common stock to five accredited investors. Each holder of a Note could convert in whole or in part the outstanding principal plus accrued but unpaid interest into the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.45 per share. During 2007, the Company issued $465,000 of additional convertible notes and 204,600 warrants.  These notes had the same characteristics as the notes discussed above, except that they convert into common shares at a price of $0.22 per. As such, the conversion rates of the notes issued during 2006 were reset to $0.22 per share resulting in a beneficial conversion feature of $75,055 which was charged to interest expense during the quarter ended June 30, 2007.  Subsequent to the issuance of the securities discussed above, the Com pany issued Mandatory Convertible Notes Payable (See below).  These notes had the characteristics discussed above, including the right to convert into common shares at a price of $0.10 per share.  As such, the conversion rates of all the Convertible Notes Payable reset to $0.10 per share, resulting in an additional beneficial conversion feature of $430,909 which was charged to interest expense during the quarter ended June 30, 2007. At December 31, 2007, $790,000 was outstanding under these notes. On April 29, 2008 $790,000 of convertible notes payable plus accrued interest thereon of $91,557 was converted into 180,711 shares common stock (at $.074 per share).  As the actual conversion rate of $.074 was less than the conversion terms of the note, the Company recognized an additional interest charge of $248,907 during the year ended December 31, 2008 relating to the modification of the conversion terms.


F-13





During 2007 the Company issued mandatory convertible notes payable (the “New Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $543,500, which was outstanding as of December 31, 2007. The notes bear interest at a rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. On April 29, 2008 the $543,500 notes plus accrued interest of $25,031 was converted into 107,492 common shares (at $.08 per share). As the actual conversion rate of $.08 was less than the conversion terms of the note, the Company recognized an additional charge of $112,731 during the year ended December 31, 2008 relating to the modification of the conversion terms.


One of our shareholders loaned $280,000 to the Company in June 2006. During May 2007, the Company and the note holder agreed that upon the closing of a New Notes capital raise with net proceeds of at least $500,000, the note holder will agree to receive a cash payment of 10% of the net proceeds of the New Notes and convert the remaining balance to the New Notes or other security containing materially similar characteristics. On April 2008, the $280,000 note and $34,300 of accrued interest was converted into 58,949 common shares (at $.08 per share).


Conversion of accounts payable to common stock


The Company issued 3,624 shares of its common stock in exchange for the settlement of $12,568 of accrued expenses during the twelve months ended December 31, 2008.

NOTE 6 – INCOME TAXES


The Company did not provide for any Federal or state income tax expense during the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 as a result of the availability of net operating loss carryforwards.  As of December 31, 2008, the Company had provided a 100% valuation allowance with respect to such Federal and state net operating loss carryforwards, as it cannot determine that it is more likely than not that it will be able to realize such deferred tax assets.  This valuation allowance represents the difference in the Company’s effective income tax of 0% and the Federal statutory income tax rate of 34% for the year ended December 31, 2008.


As of December 31, 2008, for Federal and state income tax purposes, the Company had approximately $2,000,000 in net operating loss carryforwards expiring through 2016.   Internal Revenue Code Section 382 substantially restricts the ability of a corporation to utilize existing net operating losses in the event of a defined "ownership change".  The Company has determined that there will likely be significant limitations on its ability to utilize its net operating loss carryforwards in future periods for Federal income tax purposes due to such ownership changes.


Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”) —an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.” The Interpretation addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under FIN 48, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. FIN 48 als o provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. At the date of adoption, and as December 31, 2008, the Company does not have a liability for unrecognized tax benefits.

 

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states. The Company is subject to U.S. federal or state income tax examinations by tax authorities for five years after 2003. During the periods open to examination, the Company has net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards for U.S. federal and state tax purposes that have attributes from closed periods. Since these NOLs and tax credit carry forwards may be utilized in future periods, they remain subject to examination.


The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax provisions as income tax expense. As of December 31, 2008, the Company has no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.


NOTE 7 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES


Litigation


From time to time, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings arising from the normal course of its business activities. Any adverse outcome from these matters is currently not expected to have a material adverse impact on the results of operations, cash flows or financial position of the Company, either individually or in the aggregate.
