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.  Until 2009, the business of New Era was the same as the business of the Company; in 2009, we became largely inactive.

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.  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.  

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 believe the share exchange agreement and the transactions contemplated under that agreement qualified 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

Since 2009, we have been relatively inactive, after deciding to wind up the business of its subsidiary, New Era.  Up until 2009, through our operating subsidiary, New Era, we developed and distributed 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.

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 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 2010, we were largely inactive, after deciding to wind down the business of New Era.

In 2012, the Company determined to dissolve New Era, however, 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 in order to manage our working capital needs. However, we cannot guarantee that these actions will ensure our continued operations.

We plan to attempt to locate and negotiate with a business entity for the merger of that target company into the Company. In certain instances, a target company may wish to become a subsidiary of the Company or may wish to contribute assets to the Company rather than merge. No assurances can be given that we will be successful in locating or negotiating with any target company.  As a publicly-traded, reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, we provide a method for a foreign or domestic private company to become a public, reporting company whose securities are qualified for trading in the United States secondary market.

The selection of a business opportunity in which to participate is complex and extremely risky and will be made by our management in the exercise of its business judgment. There is no assurance that we will be able to identify and acquire any business opportunity which will ultimately prove to be beneficial to our company and shareholders.

Because we have no specific business plan or expertise, our activities are subject to several significant risks. In particular, any business acquisition or participation we pursue will likely be based on the decision of management without the consent, vote, or approval of our shareholders.

Patents and Intellectual Property

We were prosecuting Application No. PCT/US2005/028501 filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on February 8, 2007 (“Application).  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.

Given our limited resources, we do not intend to continue prosecuting the Application.

Employees

We currently have one part-time employee.  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.

Change of Control Transaction

On December 30, 2011, the holders of that certain (i) Silvergraph International, Inc. Convertible Promissory Note dated January 25, 2008, in the original principal amount of One Hundred Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($115,000.00) and identified as No. PN-39, as amended by a series of thirteen (13) amendments dated from November, 2008 through November 10, 2011, (ii) Silvergraph International, Inc. Convertible Promissory Note dated February 1, 2008, in the original principal amount of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) and identified as No. PN-40, and (iii) a promissory note in the original principal amount of Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00) and issued to the Robert J. Neborsky, M.D., Inc. Retirement Trust (collectively, the “Notes”), sold their interest in the Notes to five (5) buyers for aggregate consideration of Two Hundred Forty Thousand Dollars ($240,000.00). The sellers were Antaeus Capital Partners, LLC, Robert Neborsky, and Thomas G. Schuster, as follows:

Seller:

Total:
Antaeus
$190,679.00
$40,968.00
$231,647.00

$6,888.00
$31,888.00
Total
$298,422.00
$65,649.00
$364,071.00


The purchasers were Matthew Balk, Jason Adelman, Chad Willis, MKM Opportunity Master Fund, Ltd., and the Robert J. Neborsky and Sandra S. Neborsky Living Trust, each paying an equal Forty Eight Thousand Dollars ($48,000.00).

The Notes are, by their terms, convertible into our common stock at a conversion price that is the lower of (i) $0.002, or (ii) the conversion price that would cause the majority holder of the Note to own upon conversion the number of shares of our common stock determined to be 59% of the outstanding common stock on a fully-diluted basis.  As of December 30, 2011, the Notes are therefore convertible into a maximum of 182,035,500 shares of our common stock, which would represent over 98% of the then-issued and outstanding shares of our common stock.  As a result we characterize this transaction as a change of control transaction.

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, nominal historical operating results, and currently do not have any operations.

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, 2012, incurred an accumulated deficit of $6,816,247.   We were not engaged in active business operations in since 2010.  It is unlikely we will generate positive cash flow in the future as a stand-alone company, although we may decide to re-start operations when business conditions, in our opinion, improve.

If we re-start operations, our results 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 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, an investment in our securities is highly speculative. We have not realized a profit from our historical 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 raised 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 administrative and, should we re-start operations, operating costs.  Consequently, we expect to incur operating losses and negative cash flows until we restart operations and are profitable, or, until we locate and enter into another business that operates profitably, of which there is no assurance.  

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 restart the business or enter into another business through merger or otherwise 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.

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.

We hold no patents on our proprietary technology and if we are not able to protect our proprietary technology.

On February 8, 2007, we filed Application No. PCT/US2005/028501 with the USPT (“Application).  We have since abandoned the Application because we had insufficient resources to continue prosecuting the application.  As such, there is substantial risk that a competitor may use our technology which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to re-start operations if so decided by the Board.

Our Board of Directors has determined to dissolve New Era Studios, Inc.
 
Our Board of Directors has determined it in the best interest of the shareholders to dissolve New Era Studios, Inc., our only subsidiary and our last operations.  

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

Our Board of Directors has entered into loan transactions with certain persons who are now principal shareholders pursuant to amendments to the original loan transaction.  (See Item 7.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation – Convertible Promissory Notes).  Our Board of Directors 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 of Directors 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, 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.  

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, total warrants to purchase 200,000 shares of our common stock remains outstanding.  These warrants have a weighted average exercise price of $0.50 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.

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

The Securities and Exchange Commission (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 form 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 the 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.
 
 
11

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

In addition to the penny stock rules, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA,” formerly the NASD) 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, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers.  FINRA 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 adverse 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 OTC Bulletin Board.  Trading of our stock through the OTC Bulletin Board is frequently very 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 1B.  UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

There have been no events which are required to be reported under this Item.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES

We do not currently own or lease any properties.  

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

No legal proceedings are threatened or pending against us or any of our officers or directors.  Further, none of our officers, directors or affiliates are parties against us or have any material interests in actions that are adverse to the Company’s interests.

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

Market Information

Our common stock is currently listed on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “SVGP.”  The common stock is highly illiquid with only sporadic trading, at a current price of $0.20 per share.   We do not have access to historical prices of the stock for 2012 and 2011, but between March 2011 and February 2013 there were very few trades of our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board.  

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:

 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 April 11, 2013, there were approximately 150 shareholders of record holding 2,970,954 shares of common stock, including 1,703,586 shares issuable under contractual commitments. 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.

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.

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:
 
 
14

 
 
 
·
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.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

In February, 2008, we entered into a loan transaction with certain accredited investors.  Subsequently, we entered into multiple amendments.  During the twelve months ended December 31, 2011,  we entered into an 11th amendment to the loan agreements with our two largest shareholders on April 11, 2011, Antaeus Capital Partners, Inc. and Thomas G. Schuster, under which we received an additional $17,986 in exchange for our agreement to issue the two of them a total of 88,751 shares of our common stock, restricted in accordance with Rule 144, and on July 27, 2011, we entered into a 12th amendment to the loan agreement under which we issued those two shareholders a total of 32,101 shares of our common stock, restricted in accordance with Rule 144, in exchange for an loan in the amount of $6,722.

On April 1, 2011, we entered into an Acknowledgment and Release with Beach Freeman Lim & Cleland, a California limited liability partnership (“Beach”), under which we agreed to issue Beach 75,600 shares of our common stock, restricted in accordance with Rule 144, in exchange for Beach agreeing to accept the shares in full satisfaction of any and all amounts we owe Beach.  At the date of the agreement, we owed Beach approximately $75,590 for past services they provided to us.  We plan to issue these shares in 2013.
 
For the transactions described above, 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.

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 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 significantly lower our cost of operations.   

In 2009 and 2010, after deciding to wind down the business of New Era, we were largely inactive except for efforts to sell assets and to seek a possible business combination.

In 2012 we dissolved New Era, however, 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 manage our working capital needs. However, we cannot guarantee that these actions will ensure our continued existence.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We derived our primary source of funds during the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 from the sale of additional debt securities.  Working capital as of December 31, 2012 was negative $7,507 as compared to negative working capital of $452,485 as of December 31, 2011.  The cash balance at December 31, 2012 was $2,377 compared to $4,581 at December 31, 2011.

Net cash used in operating activities was $36,745 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, as compared to $24,839 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011.  During each period presented, we used net cash principally to fund our net losses.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $34,541 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, as compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $27,965 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011.  Net cash provided by financing activities during 2012 was principally related to the issuance or modification of convertible promissory notes.    
 
 
17

 
 
We have suffered recurring losses from operations and have an accumulated deficit of approximately $6,816,247 at December 31, 2012.  Additionally, as of December 31, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents of $2,377.  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, 2012 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 operations.

Convertible Promissory Notes

 In February 2008 the Company issued 7% convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $150,000 pursuant to a subscription agreement, dated January 25, 2008, as amended, between Silvergraph and certain accredited investors. Subsequent to its issuance, the Notes were amended several times between February 2008 and December 20, 2011. As a result of these amendments, the Company received additional proceeds of approximately $112,000 and agreed to issue a total of 1,627,986 shares of common stock to these note holders with a fair value at $152,953.  As of December 31, 2011, total outstanding balance of the Notes and accrued interest amounted to $312,024, secured, due on demand and is convertible to 6,933,867 shares of common stock or $0.045/share.

In August 2012, the Company and all the existing note holders agreed to consolidate the Notes with an aggregate principal balance of $277,888 and unpaid interest of $72,712.  As a result, the Notes were cancelled and the Company issued a new note (the “Consolidated Note”) amounting to $350,600.  The Company considered the cancellation of the Note as an extinguishment for accounting purposes.

The Consolidated Note is secured by the Company’s assets, bears interest of 7% per annum, will mature on December 31, 2014, as amended, and is convertible at $0.004/share or 87,649,883 shares of common stock. As the market price on the date of the issuance of the Consolidated Note was $0.20 per share, the Company calculated a beneficial conversion feature up to the face value of the note of $350,600 representing the difference between the market price and the exercise price on the date of issuance. The beneficial conversion feature was recorded as a valuation discount and was amortized in full to interest expense over the original term of the note which matured on December 31, 2012.
 
 
18

 
 
As of December 31, 2012, total outstanding balance of the Consolidated Note amounted to $350,600 and accrued interest of $3,445 for a total of $354,045
 
Promissory Notes

On April 26, 2012, the Company issued an up to $33,000 unsecured Promissory Note (the “Note”) to private investors (“Investors”) for which it had received $33,000 as of December 31, 2012.  The Note is due on April 26, 2014 and has an interest rate of 5% per annum where interest accrues and is payable in cash upon maturity.  As of December 31, 2012, the amount due under the promissory note totaled $35,500 including accrued interest of $2,500.

Results of Operations for Years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011

Revenues.    We had no revenues during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.  We continue to explore new opportunities that will generate revenue and enhance shareholder value.

Gross profit.     We had no revenues and therefore no costs of revenues for the years December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.     

Operating expenses.    Operating expenses consist mainly of legal and accounting expenses.  Operating expenses increased by $32,967 to $45,514 for the year ended December 31, 2012 versus $12,547 for the year ended December 31, 2011.  The increase in operating expenses was principally due to services provided related to the dissolution of our subsidiary and services provided relating to the issuance of a debt instrument incurred for the year ended December 31, 2012.  

Other expense.  Other expense principally consists of interest and financing expense related to outstanding debt and shares issuances.   We had interest expense of $393,580 for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to interest expense of $60,114 for the year ended December 31, 2011.  The change in balance or increase in interest expense of $333,466 related primarily to non-cash financing costs of $350,600 amortization of discount associated with a beneficial conversion feature on the convertible notes.  No similar expense was incurred for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Gain on dissolution of subsidiary.  During the year ended December 31, 2012, we dissolved our subsidiary, New Era leading to the removal of old trade payables of $102,210.   In addition, included in the Company's December 31, 2011 balance sheets was approximately $41,716 of debt that was reflected in the balance sheet upon the Company's reverse merger transaction with Lee Graphics that was consummated in October 2004.  The Company wrote off the balance of $41,716 balance in Gain on Dissolution of Subsidiary in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2012.   No similar event occurred for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Net Loss.  Our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $295,167 compared to loss of $72,661 for the year ended December 31, 2011.  The difference was attributable to the aforementioned lack of revenue, increased operating expense, increase interest expense and the gain on dissolution of subsidiary discussed above.

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 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 generally 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.

ITEM 9A.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Securities and Exchange act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(f), for the period ended December 31, 2012.  Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2012.

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, 2012, management has relied on the framework of the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), 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 provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.
 
 
21

 
 
Our management determined that there were no changes made in our internal controls over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

This annual report does not include, and is not required to 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 rules of the SEC that permit the company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Employment Contracts

We currently do not have written employment agreements with our executive officers.  On April 11, 2008, William W. Lee and James R. Simpson terminated their employment agreements with New Era.  The Termination Agreement provided that each executive’s unpaid salary as of the date of the agreement would remain an outstanding obligation on the books and records of the Company until the salary was paid or Silvergraph merged with a separate company unaffiliated with any of the executives.   In the case of a merger each executive’s unpaid salary would be converted into common stock at $5.28 per share.

Director Compensation

We do not have any standard arrangement for compensation of our directors for any services provided as director, including services for committee participation or for special assignments.  The following table sets forth director compensation as of and for 2012:

Based on 2,913,352 shares outstanding as of March 31, 2012.  Except as set forth in these footnotes, shares of common stock subject to options or warrants currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days, are deemed outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage of the person holding such options or warrants, but are not deemed outstanding for the purposes of computing the percentage of any other person.

As the sole member of Hock-Simpson, James R. Simpson has the sole voting and investment power of the shares of common stock held by Hock-Simpson.  Thus, Mr. Simpson is deemed to be the beneficial owner of the 122,728 shares of common stock held by Hock-Simpson.  
 
ITEM 13.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Related Transactions

In February, 2008, we entered into a loan transaction with certain accredited investors.  Subsequently, we have entered into multiple amendments with such investors with the result that such investors are now principal shareholders of the Company.  (See Item 7.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation -– Convertible Promissory Notes).  

Director Independence

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

ITEM 14.  PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES

Audit Fee

The aggregate fees billed for each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by the independent registered public accounting firm for the audit of Silvergraph’s annual financial statement and review of financial statements included in our periodic reports and services normally provided by the accounting firm in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements were $10,579 for fiscal year ended 2012 and $10,579 for fiscal year ended 2011.


Audit-Related Fees

We did not have fees for other audit related services for fiscal years ended 2012 and 2011.

Tax Fees

We did not have fees for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning for the fiscal years 2012 and 2011.

All Other Fees

There were no other aggregate fees billed in either of the last two fiscal years for products and services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm, other than the services reported above.
 
 
28

 
 
Pre-approval Policies

We do not have a standing audit committee currently serving and as a result our board of directors performs the duties of an audit committee.  Our board of directors evaluates and approves, in advance, the scope and cost of the engagement of an accounting firm before the accounting firm renders audit and non-audit services.  We do not rely on pre-approval policies and procedures.

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, 2012 and 2011, 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 consolidated 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, 2012 and 2011, 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 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
TWELVE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2012 AND 2011

NOTE 1—THE COMPANY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Nature of Operations

Through 2009, Silvergraph International, Inc. ("Silvergraph" or the “Company”) was a designer, manufacturer, marketer and branded retailer of fine-art reproductions, art-based home decorative accessories, collectibles and gift products.  In 2007, we experienced significant challenges due to the unexpected contraction of our business with our largest client which caused us in 2008 to evaluate 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.  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.  We also raised $218,000 in interim bridge capital to support our operations and took steps to significantly lower our cost of operations.   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 help fund our working capital needs. However, we cannot guarantee that these actions will ensure our continued operations.
 
Basis of Consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Silvergraph and our wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

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 $6,816,247 and stockholders’ deficit of $397,052 at December 31, 2012.  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 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.
  
 
38

 
 
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 operations.

Revenue Recognition

The Company plans to recognize revenue from gross product sales, including freight charges, and revenues from the license of products, in compliance with current guidance from Financial Accounting Standards Board 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.
 
Stock-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 accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to employees based on the authoritative guidance provided by the Financial Accounting Standards Board whereas the value of the award is measured on the date of grant and recognized over the vesting period. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with the authoritative guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board 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. Non-employee stock-based compensation charges generally are amortized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. In certain circumstances where there are no future performance requirements by the non-employee, option grants are immediately vested and the total stock-based compensation charge is recorded in the period of the measurement date.

The fair value of the Company's stock options and warrants grant is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which uses certain assumptions related to risk-free interest rates, expected volatility, expected life of the stock options or warrants, and future dividends. Compensation expense is recorded based upon the value derived from the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and based on actual experience. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model could materially affect compensation expense recorded in future periods.

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 potential liabilities and valuing equity instruments. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
  
Earnings (loss) per share

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, 2012 and 2011, basic and diluted loss per share are the same.  At December 31, 2012 and 2011, potentially dilutive securities consisted of outstanding common stock purchase warrants to acquire an aggregate of 200,000 and 205,266 common shares respectively and potential common shares to be issued upon conversion of convertible promissory note of 87,649,883 and 6,933,867 common shares respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
  
The carrying amounts of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value because of their generally short maturities.
 
The Company uses various inputs in determining the fair value of its investments and measures these assets on a recurring basis.  Financial assets recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets are categorized by the level of objectivity associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value.  Authoritative guidance provided by the FASB defines the following levels directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuation of these financial assets:
 
Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
 
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, market corroborated inputs, etc.)
 
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Company’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

 
40

 
 
As of December 31, 2012, the Company’s financial assets subject to measurement included only Level 1 items of cash and short term investments.  The fair value of these financial assets was equal to their recorded value. There were no unrealized gains or losses included in earnings resulting from long-term investments associated with Level 2 or 3 financial assets during the year ended December 31, 2012.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.” This ASU requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. ASU No. 2011-11 will be applied retrospectively and is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The Company does not expect adoption of this Standard to have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity.

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment (ASU 2012-02), allowing entities the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test. If the qualitative assessment indicates it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is required. Otherwise, no testing is required. ASU 2012-02 is effective for the Company in the period beginning January 1, 2013. The Company does not expect the adoption of this update to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
 
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2—CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES

 In February 2008 the Company issued 7% convertible promissory notes (the “Former Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $150,000 pursuant to a subscription agreement, dated January 25, 2008, as amended, between Silvergraph and certain accredited investors. Subsequent to its issuance, the Former Notes were amended several times between February 2008 and December 20, 2011. As a result of these amendments, the Company received additional proceeds of approximately $112,000 and agreed to issue a total of 1,627,986 shares of common stock to these note holders with a fair value at $152,953 (see Note 5).  As of December 31, 2011, total outstanding balance of the Former Notes and accrued interest was $312,024, was due on demand, was secured by the Company’s assets, and was convertible into 6,933,867 shares of common stock or $0.045/share.

In August 2012, the Company and all the existing note holders agreed to consolidate the Former Notes which at that time had an aggregate principal balance and accrued interest of $350,600.  As a result, the Former Notes were cancelled and the Company issued a new note (the “Consolidated Note”) amounting to $350,600.  The Company considered the cancellation of the Former Notes as an extinguishment for accounting purposes.  There were no change in the cash flow or fair value of the Former Notes when compared to the cash flow and fair value of the new Consolidated Note and there was no unamortized note discount on the Former Notes.  Accordingly, there was no gain or loss upon extinguishment of the Former Notes.
  
 
41

 
 
The Consolidated Note is secured by all of the Company’s assets, bears interest at a rate of 7% per annum and mature on December 31, 2012.  The Consolidated Note is convertible at a rate of $0.004 per share or 87,649,883 shares of common stock.  As the trading price of the Company’s common stock was $0.20 per share on the date of issuance, the Company recognized a beneficial conversion feature of $350,600, the face value of the Consolidated Note.  The beneficial conversion feature was recorded as a valuation discount and was amortized in full to interest expense over the original maturity date of the note of December 31, 2012.
 
As of December 31, 2012, total outstanding balance of the Consolidated Note amounted to $350,600 and accrued interest was $3,445 for a total of $354,045.

In March 2013, the Consolidated Note was amended and the maturity date was changed to December 31, 2014.  All other existing terms and provisions of the Consolidated Note did not change.
 
NOTE 3 – PROMISSORY NOTE
 
On April 26, 2012, the Company issued its unsecured Promissory Note (the “Note”) to private investors (“Investors”) for which it had received $33,000 as of December 31, 2012.  The Note is unsecured, due on April 26, 2014 and has an interest rate of 5% per annum where interest accrues and is payable in cash upon maturity.  
 
As of December 31, 2012, the amount due under the promissory note totaled $35,500 including accrued interest of $2,500.

NOTE 4 – GAIN ON DISSOLUTION OF SUBSIDIARY

In October 2004, New Era Studios, Inc. (New Era) consummated a reverse merger with Lee Graphics.  As a result of the merger, New Era recognized certain liabilities incurred by Lee Graphics in the aggregate of $41,716.

In June 2006, the Company completed a reverse merger with New Era.  As a result of the merger, New Era became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.  Subsequently, the Company decided to recognize the liabilities incurred by Lee Graphics of $41,716 pending a determination whether the Company entered into a contract as borrower or guarantor.

In the second half of 2008, the Company decided to wind down the operations of New Era, started selling its assets and eventually ceased its operations.

As of December 31, 2011, these liabilities were presented in the accompany balance sheet as Other Debt of $41,716.  In addition, New Era incurred various payables prior years in the aggregate of $103,326 that was presented as Accounts Payable in the balance sheet.
  
In December 2012, the Company dissolved New Era.  As a result of the dissolution and absence of any contract agreement or guaranty, the Company determined that it was no longer obligated to pay these liabilities.  As such, it recognized a gain of $143,926 due to the write-off these liabilities.

NOTE 5 – EQUITY                                           

Common Shares to be issued

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.  As part of the consultant’s compensation, the Company agreed to issue 12,121 shares to the consultant upon the close of a business combination with a private company.  

As the Company has not yet completed any business combination with a private company, 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.

Common shares issuable

Pursuant to the 7th and up to the 13th amendments of the Company’s convertible promissory notes from May 2009 up to December 2011, the Company granted these note holders a total of 1,627,986 shares of common stock. The shares were issued to the note holders concurrent to the receipt of proceeds pursuant to the amended convertible notes (see Note 2).  The Company accounted these shares at fair value and was recorded as part of interest expense at the respective date of grant.  As of December 31, 2012, the Company has not yet issued these notes to the respective note holders.  The Company expects to issue these shares in 2013.
  
On April 1, 2011, the Company entered into an Acknowledgment and Release with Beach Freeman Lim & Cleland, a California limited liability partnership (“Beach”), under which the Company agreed to issue Beach 75,600 shares of common stock in exchange for Beach agreeing to accept the shares in full satisfaction of any and all amounts owe Beach amounting to $75,590.  The Company accounted these shares at fair value upon issuance in April 2011.  The Company expects to issue these shares in 2013.

Convertible Promissory Notes

As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, potential shares of common stock to be issued totaled 87,649,883 and 6,933,867 respectively pursuant to the terms of the Company’s outstanding convertible notes (see Note 2).
  
NOTE 6 – INCOME TAXES

The Company did not provide for any Federal or state income tax expense during the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 as a result of the availability of net operating loss carryforwards.  As of December 31, 2012, 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, 2012.

As of December 31, 2012, 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 that 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 this guidance, 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. This guidance also 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, 2012 and 2011, 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.
 
 
44

 

 
The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax provisions as income tax expense. As of December 31, 2012, the Company has no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

NOTE 7 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

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.
 
NOTE 8 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company’s office facility has been provided without charge by Mr. James Simpson, Chief Executive Officer.  Such cost was not material to the financial statements and accordingly, have not been reflected therein.

In view of the Company’s limited operations and resources, Mr. Simpson did not receive any compensation from the Company for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.
