PART I

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Business Development and Summary

The Engraving Masters, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 11, 2006.

In January 2007, we entered into a Procurement Agreement with The Engravers, Inc., an engraving company founded in 1982 in Spokane, Washington, which is owned and operated by the family of our officers and directors.  This Agreement provides us with access to the inventory, engraving equipment and facilities and expertise of The Engravers.  We will not maintain any inventory.  All items that will be listed on our proposed website will be acquired from the inventory of The Engravers, and are expected to be available on a just-in-time basis.  When we receive an order, an order for the merchandise and engraving services will be placed concurrently with The Engravers, who will fulfill the order with their saleable inventory and engraved by their engraving equipment and personnel.  We will not hire any engraving employees and will not own any capital equipment.  Pursuant to the Procurement Agreement, all products purchased from The Engravers will be acquired at the wholesale cost of the item, calculated as the cost of the inventory, engraving costs, freight in and freight out.

In October 2007, we sold an aggregate of 1,630,000 shares of our common stock in an offering made under Regulation D, Rule 504 to 25 individuals, for cash in the amount of $32,600.  Prior to, and up to the time of this offering, our operations were minimal and limited to forming our corporate identity, obtaining seed capital through sales of our equity, establishing our corporate hierarchy and began pursuit of our primary business plan.

Our administrative office is located at 3717 W. Woodside, Spokane, WA 99208.

Our fiscal year end is December 31.

Business of Issuer

Principal Products and Principal Markets

We are an online retailer of engraved products and awards, consisting of trophies, plaques, medals, statuettes and other recognition awards capable of being engraved with various congratulatory or personal phrases, for the purpose of recognizing achievements in sports, academics or other celebrations.  We have reserved the domain www.TheEngravingMasters.com, which will serve as our base of operations and the sole method through which sales will be initiated and realized.  Currently, the site is in development and has not been published.  Once the website is enabled as a sales channel, it will be expected to serve as our sole method of generating sales.  Resultantly, until the website is published, we will be unable to begin to generate revenues.

Our management believes that the best method for us to compete with online companies is to access the inventory and facilities of an established brick and mortar partner.  Resultantly, we have entered into a Procurement Agreement with The Engravers, a related-party engraving company founded in 1982 and serving the Spokane, Washington region, whereby we will not incur the significant inventory and overhead investments that many of our competitors do.  We will not carry any inventory of our own, nor will we own any engraving equipment or supplies.

Once we establish our website, customers will be able to view a selection of products available for sale.  Customers will also be able to consider engraving options, such as font styles and sizes.  Upon receiving an order online, we will confirm the accuracy of the order with the customer, then notify The Engravers of the items to be removed from The Engravers’ inventory and the engraving work to be done.  We will maintain no inventory and will outsource all engraving work to The Engravers.  We will rely solely upon The Engravers for all inventory and engraving services; thus we will maintain no inventory and will not own any engraving machinery or equipment.

Distribution Methods of the Products and Services

We expect to use general parcel and postal services as our distribution methods to fulfill customer orders.  Such services include, without limitation, United Parcel Service, DHL, Federal Express and the United States Postal Service.

Industry Background and Competition

The market for engraving services and recognition awards in the United States is highly competitive and severely fragmented.  Our management believes there are moderate barriers to entry, including relatively high start-up costs for engraving equipment and inventory.  In the Spokane, Washington area, there are approximately three engraving companies, including The Engraver, with which we have a Procurement Agreement, listed in the Yellow Pages, all of which have only a local or regional presence.  To our knowledge, Things Remembered is the largest engraving company with a nationally recognized brand and physical presence.  There are also a number of regional engraving companies supplementing their business via the Internet.  A simple web search retrieves approximately 854,000 references for the phrase “engraving companies.”

Our management believes that most of our competitors are larger and have greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources, significantly greater name recognition and more traffic to their web sites.  Competition depends, to a large extent on clients' perception of the quality of the award products and engraving services we provide in comparison to those of our competitors.  To the extent we lose clients to our competitors because of dissatisfaction with our products and services, or if our reputation is adversely impacted for any other reason, our ability to attract customers, and there for our ability to generate revenues, will be reduced.

Principal suppliers

We will not directly procure any raw materials, nor will we produce or engrave any of the products we intend to sell.  In accordance with our Procurement Agreement, all orders we receive will be fulfilled by The Engravers from start to finish.  We will not maintain any inventory and we will not perform any engraving services.  As a result, The Engravers are our sole method of completing customer orders.  We have no alternate supply sources.  Our business would be seriously harmed if our relationship with The Engravers were terminated or if we were unable to obtain sufficient quantities of merchandise on acceptable terms from The Engravers.  Additionally, we may be unable to establish alternative sources of supply to ensure delivery of merchandise in a timely and efficient manner or on terms acceptable to us.  If we cannot obtain and stock our products at acceptable prices and on a timely basis, we may lose potential sales.

Need for Government Approval of Principal Products

While we believe we are and will be in substantial compliance with the laws and regulations which regulate our business, and that we possess all the licenses required in the conduct of our business, the failure to comply with any of those laws or regulations, or the imposition of new laws or regulations could negatively impact our proposed business.

Number of total employees and number of full time employees

We presently have no employees.  Instead, we  rely on the efforts of David Uddman and Jolene Uddman, our executive officers.  We believe that our operations are currently on a small scale that is manageable by these individuals on a part-time basis.

Reports to Security Holders

 
1.
We will furnish shareholders with annual financial reports certified by our independent registered public accountants.

 
2.
We are a reporting issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  We file periodic reports, which are required in accordance with Section 15(d) of the Securities Act of 1933, with the Securities and Exchange Commission to maintain the fully reporting status.

 
3.
The public may read and copy any materials we file with the SEC at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20002.  The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330.  Our SEC filings will be available on the SEC Internet site, located at http://www.sec.gov.

RISK FACTORS

Our officers and directors work for us on a part-time basis.  As a result, we may be unable to develop our business and manage our public reporting requirements.

Our operations depend on the efforts of David Uddman, our President and director, and Jolene Uddman, our Secretary, Treasurer and director.  Neither Mr. nor Mrs. Uddman has experience related to public company management, nor as a principal accounting officer.  Because of this, we may be unable to offer and sell the shares in this offering and develop and manage our business.  We cannot guarantee you that we will overcome any such obstacle.

Both Mr. and Mrs. Uddman are involved in other business opportunities and may face a conflict in selecting between The Engraving Masters and their other business interests.  We have not formulated a policy for the resolution of such conflicts.  If we lose either or both Mr. and Mrs. Uddman to other pursuits without a sufficient warning we may, consequently, go out of business.

Investors may lose their entire investment if we fail to implement our business plan.

The Engraving Masters, Inc. was formed in September 2006.  We have no demonstrable operations record on which you can evaluate our business and prospects.  Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stages of development.  These risks include, without limitation, competition, the absence of ongoing revenue streams, inexperienced management and lack of brand recognition.  The Engraving Masters cannot guarantee that we will be successful in executing our proposed engraving services and merchandising business.  To date, we have not generated any revenues, have not purchased any inventory, have not developed a marketing plan and expect to incur losses for the foreseeable future.  If we fail to implement and create a base of operations for our proposed business, we may be forced to cease operations, in which case investors may lose their entire investment.

If we are unable to continue as a going concern, investors may face a complete loss of their investment.

We have yet to commence our planned merchandising operations.  As of the date of this annual report, we have had only limited start-up operations and generated no revenues.  Taking these facts into account, our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern in the independent registered public accounting firm’s report to the financial statements included in the registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part.  If our business fails, the investors in this offering may face a complete loss of their investment.

Investors will have limited control over decision-making because principal stockholders, officers and directors of The Engraving Masters control the majority of our issued and outstanding common stock.

David Uddman, an executive officer, employee and director, beneficially owns 78.64% of our issued and outstanding common stock.  As a result of such ownership, investors in this offering will have limited control over matters requiring approval by our security holders, including the election of directors.  Such concentrated control may also make it difficult for our stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of our common stock in the event we enter into transactions that require stockholder approval.  In addition, certain provisions of Nevada law could have the effect of making it more difficult or more expensive for a third party to acquire, or of discouraging a third party from attempting to acquire, control of us.  For example, Nevada law provides that not less than two-thirds vote of the stockholders is required to remove a director, which could make it more difficult for a third party to gain control of our Board of Directors.  This concentration of ownership limits the power to exercise control by the minority shareholders.

The Engraving Masters may not be able to attain profitability without additional funding, which may be unavailable.

We have limited capital resources.  To date, we have not generated cash from our operations.  Unless we begin to generate sufficient revenues from our proposed business objective of selling engraved products and awards to finance operations as a going concern, we may experience liquidity and solvency problems.  Such liquidity and solvency problems may force us to go out of business if additional financing is not available.  We have no intention of liquidating.  In the event our cash resources are insufficient to continue operations, we intend to raise addition capital through offerings and sales of equity or debt securities.  In the event we are unable to raise sufficient funds, we will be forced to go out of business and will be forced to liquidate.  A possibility of such outcome presents a risk of complete loss of investment in our common stock.

Because of competitive pressures from competitors with more resources, The Engraving Masters may fail to implement its business model profitably.

The market for customers is intensely competitive and such competition is expected to continue to increase.  Generally, our actual and potential competitors have longer operating histories, greater financial and marketing resources, greater name recognition and an entrenched client base.  Therefore, many of these competitors may be able to devote greater resources to attracting customers and preferred vendor pricing.  There can be no assurance that our current or potential competitors will not stock comparable or superior products to those to we expect to offer.  Increased competition could result in lower than expected operating margins or loss of market share, any of which would materially and adversely affect our business, results of operation and financial condition.

We may be unable to generate sales without sales, marketing or distribution capabilities.

We have not commenced our planned business of selling engraved recognition awards and do not have any sales, marketing or distribution capabilities.  We cannot guarantee that we will be able to develop a sales and marketing plan or to develop an effective chain of distribution.  In the event we are unable to successfully implement these objectives, we may be unable to generate sales and operate as a going concern.

We may not be able to generate sales because consumers may choose not to shop online.

We may not be able to attract potential customers who shop in traditional retail stores to shop on our proposed web site.  Furthermore, we may incur significantly higher and more sustained advertising and promotional expenditures than anticipated to attract online shoppers and to convert those shoppers into purchasing customers.  As a result, we may not be able to achieve profitability, and even if we are successful at attracting online customers, we expect it could take several years to build a substantial customer base.  Specific factors that could prevent widespread customer acceptance of our e-commerce solution include:

 
1.
Customer concerns about buying products without physically viewing or handling them;

 
2.
Customer concerns about the security of online transactions and the privacy of their personal information; and

 
3.
Difficulties in returning or exchanging items purchased through the website.

The Engraving Masters may lose its top management without employment agreements.

Our operations depend substantially on the skills and experience of David Uddman, our President and director, and Jolene Uddman, our Secretary, Treasurer and director.  We have no other full- or part-time employees besides these individuals.  Furthermore, we do not maintain key man life insurance on either of these two individuals.  Without employment contracts, we may lose either or both of our officers and directors to other pursuits without a sufficient warning and, consequently, go out of business.

Both Mr. and Mrs. Uddman are involved in other business opportunities and may face a conflict in selecting between The Engraving Masters and their other business interests.  We have not formulated a policy for the resolution of such conflicts.  If we lose either or both Mr. and Mrs. Uddman to other pursuits without a sufficient warning we may, consequently, go out of business.

Our internal controls may be inadequate, which could cause our financial reporting to be unreliable and lead to misinformation being disseminated to the public.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.  As defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f), internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the principal executive and principal financial officer and effected by the board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) 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 of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.  Our internal controls may be inadequate or ineffective, which could cause our financial reporting to be unreliable and lead to misinformation being disseminated to the public.  Investors relying upon this misinformation may make an uninformed investment decision.

The costs and expenses of SEC reporting and compliance may inhibit our operations.

After the effectiveness of this registration statement, we will be subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  The costs of complying with such requirements may be substantial.  In the event we are unable to establish a base of operations that generates sufficient cash flows or cannot obtain additional equity or debt financing, the costs of maintaining our status as a reporting entity may inhibit out ability to continue our operations.

Because our common stock is deemed a low-priced “Penny” stock, an investment in our common stock should be considered high risk and subject to marketability restrictions.

Since our common stock is a penny stock, as defined in Rule 3a51-1 under the Securities Exchange Act, it will be more difficult for investors to liquidate their investment even if and when a market develops for the common stock. Until the trading price of the common stock rises above $5.00 per share, if ever, trading in the common stock is subject to the penny stock rules of the Securities Exchange Act specified in rules 15g-1 through 15g-10. Those rules require broker-dealers, before effecting transactions in any penny stock, to:

 
1.
Deliver to the customer, and obtain a written receipt for, a disclosure document;

 
2.
Disclose certain price information about the stock;

 
3.
Disclose the amount of compensation received by the broker-dealer or any associated person of the broker-dealer;

 
4.
Send monthly statements to customers with market and price information about the penny stock; and

 
5.
In some circumstances, approve the purchaser’s account under certain standards and deliver written statements to the customer with information specified in the rules.

 
8

 


Consequently, the penny stock rules may restrict the ability or willingness of broker-dealers to sell the common stock and may affect the ability of holders to sell their common stock in the secondary market and the price at which such holders can sell any such securities. These additional procedures could also limit our ability to raise additional capital in the future.
 
FINRA sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.
 
In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) 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 FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability! to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.
 
UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

None.

PROPERTIES

We use office space at 3717 W. Woodside, Spokane, Washington 99208.  Our officers, David and Jolene Uddman, provide the office space at no charge to us.  We believe that this arrangement is suitable given that our current operations are primarily administrative.  We also believe that we will not need to lease additional administrative offices for at least the next 12 months.  There are currently no proposed programs for the renovation, improvement or development of the facilities we use.

Our management does not currently have policies regarding the acquisition or sale of real estate assets primarily for possible capital gain or primarily for income.  We do not presently hold any investments or interests in real estate, investments in real estate mortgages or securities of or interests in persons primarily engaged in real estate activities.

PART II

MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS MARKET INFORMATION FOR COMMON STOCK

Market information

We have been approved for listing on the OTCBB under the symbol "EGRV".  As of December 31, 2008, no public market in The Engraving Masters, Inc.'s common stock has yet developed and there can be no assurance that a meaningful trading market will subsequently develop.  The Engraving Masters, Inc. makes no representation about the value of its common stock.

Holders

As of the date of this prospectus, The Engraving Masters, Inc. has 7,630,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock issued and outstanding held by 26 shareholders of record.  Our Transfer Agent is Holladay Stock Transfer, Inc., 2939 N. 67th Place, Suite C, Scottsdale, Arizona 85251, phone (480) 481-3940.

Dividends

The Engraving Masters, Inc. has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its common stock.  For the foreseeable future, The Engraving Masters intends to retain any earnings to finance the development and expansion of its business, and it does not anticipate paying any cash dividends on its common stock.  Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will be dependent upon then existing conditions, including The Engraving Masters’ financial condition and results of operations, capital requirements, contractual restrictions, business prospects and other factors that the board of directors considers relevant.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

Sales conducted under an exemption from registration provided under Section 4(2)

On October 5, 2006, we issued 6,000,000 shares of our common stock to David Uddman, an officer and director, as founders’ shares in exchange for cash in the amount of $10,000.  We believe that this transaction is exempt from the registration provisions of Section 5 of the Securities Act as such exemption is provided under Section 4(2) because:

 
1.
This issuances did not involve underwriters, underwriting discounts or commissions;

 
2.
Restrictive legends were placed on all certificates issued;

 
3.
The distribution did not involve general solicitation or advertising; and

The distributions were made only to insiders, accredited investors or investors who were sophisticated enough to evaluate the risks of the investment.  Mr. Uddman was given access to all information about our business and the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers about our business prior to making any investment decision.

On the basis of the above facts we claim that the issuances of a total of 6,000,000 shares of its Common Stock in October 2006 qualified for the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.

Sales conducted under Regulation D

In October 2007, we completed an offering of shares common stock in accordance with Regulation D, Rule 504 of the Securities Act, registered by qualification in the State of Nevada, whereby we sold 1,630,000 shares of common stock, par value, at a price of $0.05 per share to 25 non-affiliated investors.  All investors were, at the time of purchase, residents of the State of Nevada.

This offering was made in reliance upon an exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in accordance with Regulation D, Rule 504 of the Act.  In addition, this offering was underwritten on a best efforts basis.  In regards to the offering closed in October 2007, listed below are the factual circumstances which support the availability of Rule 504:

 
10

 


 
1.
At the time of the offering, we were not subject to the reporting requirements of section 13 or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act.  Further, we are not now, nor were we at the time of the offering, considered to be an investment company.  Finally, since inception, we have pursued a specific business plan, and continue to do so.

 
2.
We were issued a permit to sell securities by the State of Nevada, pursuant to our application for registration by qualification of offering of our common stock in that state.  The application for registration by qualification was filed pursuant to the provisions of NRS 90.490, which requires the public filing and delivery to investors of a substantive disclosure document before sale.  In October 2007, we completed an offering of shares of common stock pursuant to Regulation D, Rule 504 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the registration by qualification of said offering in the State of Nevada, whereby we sold 1,630,000 shares of our common stock to a total of 25 shareholders.  One of these purchasers is our sole officer and director, although at the time of purchase, he was not.  The entire offering was conducted exclusively in the State of Nevada, pursuant to the permit issued by the State of Nevada.

 
3.
The aggregate offering price for the offering closed in October 2007 was $32,600, all of which was collected from the offering.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND PLAN OF OPERATIONS

Forward-Looking Statements

The statements contained in all parts of this document that are not historical facts are, or may be deemed to be, "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of  Section 27A of  the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those relating to the following: the Company's ability to secure necessary financing; expected growth; future operating expenses; future margins; fluctuations in interest rates; ability to continue to grow and  implement growth, and regarding future growth, cash needs, operations, business plans and financial results and any other statements that are not historical facts.

When used in this document, the words "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "may," "plans," "project," and similar expressions are intended to be among the statements that identify forward-looking statements.  The Engraving Masters, Inc.’s results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements.  Such statements involve risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those relating to costs, delays and difficulties related to the Company’s dependence on its ability to attract and retain skilled managers and other personnel; intense competition; the uncertainty of the Company's ability to manage and continue its growth and implement its business strategy; its vulnerability to general economic conditions; accuracy of accounting and other estimates; the Company's future financial and operating results, cash needs and demand for services; and the Company's ability to maintain and comply with permits and licenses; as well as other risk factors described in this Annual Report. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual outcomes may vary materially from those projected.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

We are an online retailer of engraved products and awards, consisting of trophies, plaques, medals, statuettes and other recognition awards capable of being engraved with various congratulatory or personal phrases, for the purpose of recognizing achievements in sports, academics or other celebrations.  Since our inception, we have worked with the singular goal of executing our business plan and establishing a base of operations.  Unfortunately, we generated no revenues in any period since our inception.  We have no sources of revenues and cannot forecast the amount, if any, of revenues we will generate for the foreseeable future.

In the execution of our business, we incur depreciation expense related to our computer equipment, as well as various general and administrative costs.  General and administrative expenses mainly consist of office expenditures and accounting and legal fees.  During the year ended December 31, 2008, we spent $21,940, consisting of $265 in depreciation expense and $21,675 in general and administrative expenses.  In the comparable period from the year ended December 31, 2007, we incurred $8,297 in total expenses, all of which is attributed to general and administrative expenses.  Aggregate operating expenses from our inception through December 31, 2008 were $33,699, of which $265 is related to depreciation expense and $33,434 in general and administrative expenses.  No development related expenses have been or will be paid to our affiliates.  We expect to continue to incur general and administrative expenses for the foreseeable future, although we cannot estimate the extent of these costs.

As a result of our minimal level of revenues and incurring ongoing expenses related to the implementation of our business, we have experienced net losses in all periods since our inception on September 11, 2006.  In the year ended December 31, 2008, our net loss totaled $21,940, compared to a net loss of $8,297 in the prior year ended December 31, 2007.  Since our inception, we have accumulated net losses in the amount of $33,699.  We anticipate incurring ongoing operating losses and cannot predict when, if at all, we may expect these losses to plateau or narrow.  We have not been profitable from our inception through the year ended December 31, 2008.  There is significant uncertainty projecting future profitability due to our history of losses, lack of revenues, and due to our reliance on the performance of third parties on which we have no direct control.

Generating sales in the next 12 months is important to support our business.  In order for us to achieve profitability and support our planned ongoing operations, we estimate that we must begin generating a minimum of $25,000 in sales in the next 12 months.  However, we cannot guarantee that we will generate any sales, let alone achieve that target.  As of the date of this annual report, we are a development stage company with no revenues and a limited operational history.  We have a website located at www.theengravingmasters.com to serve as our sole method of attracting customers and generating sales.  We intend to operate solely as an online company.  All sales are expected to be realized through our web site.  To date, we have not received any orders via the website.

Our management believes that most organizations are postponing or suspending purchasing engraved award products, such as we sell.  As a result, we have decided to delay all marketing and promotional efforts.  We intended to implement search engine placement and keyword submission optimization services to increase the visibility of our website.  To date, we have not developed or implemented any marketing strategy and do not intend to do so until the first quarter of 2010, at the earliest.

As of December 31, 2008, we had $7,420 of cash on hand, which our management believes these funds are not sufficient to implement our planned strategies and establish a base of operations over the next 12 months.  Our management expects that we will experience net cash out-flows for the fiscal year 2008, given developmental nature of our business.  We cannot predict the stability of current or projected overhead or that we will generate sufficient revenues to maintain our operations without the need for additional capital.  Our management believes we may need to raise additional capital by issuing capital stock in exchange for cash in order to continue as a going concern.  There are no formal or informal agreements to attain such financing.  We cannot assure you that any financing can be obtained or, if obtained, that it will be on reasonable terms.  As such, our principal accountants have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern because we have limited operations and have not fully commenced planned principal operations.  If our business fails, our investors may face a complete loss of their investment.

Our management does not anticipate the need to hire additional full- or part- time employees over the next 12 months, as the services provided by our current officers appear sufficient at this time.  Our officers work for us on a part-time basis, and are prepared to devote additional time, as necessary.  We do not expect to hire any additional employees over the next 12 months.

No development related expenses have been or will be paid to our affiliates.

Our management does not expect to incur research and development costs.

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

We currently do not own any significant plant or equipment that we would seek to sell in the near future.

We have not paid for expenses on behalf of our directors.  Additionally, we believe that this fact shall not materially change.

We currently do not have any material contracts and or affiliations with third parties.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Board of Directors
The Engraving Masters, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of The Engraving Masters, Inc. (A Development Stage Company) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and since inception on September 11, 2006 through December 31, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conduct 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 financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Engraving Masters, Inc. (A Development Stage Company) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and since inception on September 11, 2006 through December 31, 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $33,699, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 3.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes

Note 1 – History and organization of the company

The Company was organized September 11, 2006 (Date of Inception) under the laws of the State of Nevada, as The Engraving Masters, Inc.  The Company is authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of its common stock and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, each with a par value of $0.001 per share.

The business of the Company is to sell engraved awards and collectibles via the Internet.  The Company has limited operations and in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7 (SFAS #7), “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises,” the Company is considered a development stage company.

Note 2 – Accounting policies and procedures

Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and cash equivalents
For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.  There were no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2008 and 2007.

Concentrations of Risks: Cash Balances
The Company maintains its cash in institutions insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).  This government corporation insured balances up to $100,000 through October 13, 2008.  As of October 14, 2008 all non-interest bearing transaction deposit accounts at an FDIC-insured institution, including all personal and business checking deposit accounts that do not earn interest, are fully insured for the entire amount in the deposit account.  This unlimited insurance coverage is temporary and will remain in effect for participating institutions until December 31, 2009.

All other deposit accounts at FDIC-insured institutions are insured up to at least $250,000 per depositor until December 31, 2009.  On January 1, 2010, FDIC deposit insurance for all deposit accounts, except for certain retirement accounts, will return to at least $100,000 per depositor.  Insurance coverage for certain retirement accounts, which include all IRA deposit accounts, will remain at $250,000 per depositor.

Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenue and gains when earned and related costs of sales and expenses when incurred.

Advertising costs
The Company expenses all costs of advertising as incurred.  There were no advertising costs included in selling, general and administrative expenses at December 31, 2008 and 2007.

Impairment of long-lived assets
Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for possible impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable or is impaired.  No such impairments have been identified by management at December 31, 2008 and 2007.

Loss per share
Net loss per share is provided in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 (SFAS #128) “Earnings Per Share”.  Basic loss per share is computed by dividing losses available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  The Company had no dilutive common stock equivalents, such as stock options or warrants as of December 31, 2008 and 2007.

Notes

Note 2 – Accounting policies and procedures (continued)

Reporting on the costs of start-up activities
Statement of Position 98-5 (SOP 98-5), “Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities,” which provides guidance on the financial reporting of start-up costs and organizational costs, requires most costs of start-up activities and organizational costs to be expensed as incurred.  SOP 98-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998.  With the adoption of SOP 98-5, there has been little or no effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Fair value of financial instruments
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2008 and 2007.  The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values.  Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for cash and payables because they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are payable on demand.

Income Taxes
The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS No. 109”) for recording the provision for income taxes.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled.  Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability each period.  If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.  Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change.

Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods.  Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of assets and liabilities to which they relate.  Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.

General and administrative expenses
The significant components of general and administrative expenses consists solely of legal and professional fees.

Segment reporting
The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, “Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”. The Company operates as a single segment and will evaluate additional segment disclosure requirements as it expands its operations.

Dividends
The Company has not yet adopted any policy regarding payment of dividends.  No dividends have been paid or declared since inception.

Recent pronouncements
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”).  FIN 48 clarified the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.  It prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition.  FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006.  The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on our balance sheet or statement of operations.

Note 2 – Accounting policies and procedures (continued)

Recent pronouncements (Continued)
In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission staff (“SEC”) issued SAB 108.  SAB 108 was issued to provide consistency to how companies quantify financial statement misstatements.  SAB 108 establishes an approach that requires companies to quantify misstatements in financial statements based on effects of the misstatement on both the consolidated balance sheet and statement of operations and the related financial statement disclosures.  Additionally, companies must evaluate the cumulative effect of errors existing in prior years that previously had been considered immaterial.  We adopted SAB 108 in connection with the preparation of our annual financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and found no adjustments necessary.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”).  SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, rather, its application will be made pursuant to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements.  SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 1007, and interim periods within those years.  The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are to be applied proactively upon adoption, except for limited specified exemptions.  We are evaluating the requirements of SFAS No. 157 and do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our balance sheet or statement of operations.

In February 2007, the FASB, issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities—Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.  This standard permits an entity to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. This option is available to all entities. Most of the provisions in FAS 159 are elective; however, an amendment to FAS 115 Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities applies to all entities with available for sale or trading securities. Some requirements apply differently to entities that do not report net income. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entities first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of the previous fiscal year provided that the entity makes that choice in the first 120 days of that fiscal year and also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 157 Fair Value Measurements.  The Company has adopted SFAS No. 159 beginning March 1, 2008 and is evaluating the potential impact the adoption of this pronouncement will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 110 regarding the use of a "simplified" method, as discussed in SAB No. 107 (SAB 107), in developing an estimate of expected term of "plain vanilla" share options in accordance with SFAS No. 123 (R), Share-Based Payment.  In particular, the staff indicated in SAB 107 that it will accept a company's election to use the simplified method, regardless of whether the company has sufficient information to make more refined estimates of expected term. At the time SAB 107 was issued, the staff believed that more detailed external information about employee exercise behavior (e.g., employee exercise patterns by industry and/or other categories of companies) would, over time, become readily available to companies. Therefore, the staff stated in SAB 107 that it would not expect a company to use the simplified method for share option grants after December 31, 2007. The staff understands that such detailed information about employee exercise behavior may not be widely available by December 31, 2007. Accordingly, the staff will continue to accept, under certain circumstances, the use of the simplified method beyond December 31, 2007. The Company currently uses the simplified method for “plain vanilla” share options and warrants, and will assess the impact of SAB 110 for fiscal year 2009. It is not believed that this will have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Recent pronouncements (Continued)
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51.  This statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. Before this statement was issued, limited guidance existed for reporting noncontrolling interests. As a result, considerable diversity in practice existed. So-called minority interests were reported in the consolidated statement of financial position as liabilities or in the mezzanine section between liabilities and equity. This statement improves comparability by eliminating that diversity. This statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008 (that is, January 1, 2009, for entities with calendar year-ends). Earlier adoption is prohibited. The effective date of this statement is the same as that of the related Statement 141 (revised 2007). The Company will adopt this Statement beginning March 1, 2009. It is not believed that this will have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB, issued FAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations’.  This Statement replaces FASB Statement No. 141, Business Combinations, but retains the fundamental requirements in Statement 141.  This Statement establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: (a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; (b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and (c) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. This statement applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. An entity may not apply it before that date. The effective date of this statement is the same as that of the related FASB Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements.  The Company will adopt this statement beginning March 1, 2009. It is not believed that this will have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.  This standard requires companies to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Company has not yet adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 161, but does not expect it to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”.  SFAS No. 162 sets forth the level of authority to a given accounting pronouncement or document by category. Where there might be conflicting guidance between two categories, the more authoritative category will prevail. SFAS No. 162 will become effective 60 days after the SEC approves the PCAOB’s amendments to AU Section 411 of the AICPA Professional Standards. SFAS No. 162 has no effect on the Company’s financial position, statements of operations, or cash flows at this time.

In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts-and interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60”.  SFAS No. 163 clarifies how Statement 60 applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts, including the recognition and measurement of premium revenue and claims liabilities. This statement also requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. SFAS No. 163 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years. SFAS No. 163 has no effect on the Company’s financial position, statements of operations, or cash flows at this time.

Note 2 – Accounting policies and procedures (continued)

Recent pronouncements (Continued)
In June 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities, (“FSP EITF 03-6-1”). FSP EITF 03-6-1 addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting, and therefore need to be included in the computation of earnings per share under the two-class method as described in FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings per Share.” FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and earlier adoption is prohibited. We are not required to adopt FSP EITF 03-6-1; neither do we believe that FSP EITF 03-6-1 would have material effect on our consolidated financial position and results of operations if adopted.

Year end
The Company has adopted December 31 as its fiscal year end.

Note 3 - Going concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.  As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred a net loss of ($33,699) and had no sales for the period from September 11, 2006 (inception) to December 31, 2008.  The future of the Company is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations from the development of its new business opportunities.  Management has plans to seek capital through a public offering of its common stock.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might arise from this uncertainty.

Note 4 – Fixed assets

Fixed assets as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, consisted of the following:

   
December 31,
 
   
2008
   
2007
 
Computer equipment
  $ 1,521     $ 0  
                 
Accumulated depreciation
    (265 )     0  
    $ 1,256     $ 0  

During the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company recorded depreciation expense of $265 and $0, respectively.

Note 5 – Income taxes

For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company incurred net operating losses and, accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded. In addition, no benefit for income taxes has been recorded due to the uncertainty of the realization of any tax assets. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company had approximately $33,699 and $11,759 of federal and state net operating losses. The net operating loss carryforwards, if not utilized, will begin to expire in 2026.

The components of the Company’s deferred tax asset are as follows:

   
December 31
 
   
2008
   
2007
 
Deferred tax assets:
           
  Net operating loss carryforwards
  $ 11,458     $ 3,998  
  Valuation allowance
    (11,458 )     (3,998 )
    Total deferred tax assets
  $ -     $ -  

For financial reporting purposes, the Company has incurred a loss in each period since its inception. Based on the available objective evidence, including the Company’s history of losses, management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be fully realizable. Accordingly, the Company provided for a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2008 and 2007.

Note 6 – Stockholders’ equity

The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock and 100,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value preferred stock.

On September 14, 2006, the sole officer and director of the Company paid for expenses on behalf of the Company in the amount of $175.  The entire amount was donated, is not expected to be repaid and is considered to be additional paid-in capital.

On September 25, 2006, the sole officer and director of the Company donated cash in the amount of $100.  The entire amount is considered to be additional paid-in capital.

On October 5, 2006, the Company issued 6,000,000 shares of its no par value common stock as founders’ shares to an officer and director in exchange for cash in the amount of $10,000.

On October 10, 2007, the Company issued 1,630,000 shares of its par value common stock in a public offering for total gross cash proceeds in the amount of $32,600.  Total offering costs related to this issuance was $500.

As of December 31, 2008, there have been no other issuances of common stock.

Note 7 – Warrants and options

As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, there were no warrants or options outstanding to acquire any additional shares of common stock.

Note 8 – Related party transactions

In September 2006, an officer, director and shareholder of the Company paid for incorporation expenses on behalf of the Company in the amount $175.  The full amount has been donated and is not expected to be repaid and is thus categorized as additional paid-in capital.

Also in, September 2006, an officer, director and shareholder of the Company donated cash in the amount of $100 to the Company.  The full amount has been donated and is not expected to be repaid and is thus categorized as additional paid-in capital.

In September 2007, the Company loaned an officer and director cash in the amount of $50.  The loan bore no interest and was payable on demand.  In October 2007, the loan was repaid in full.

The Company does not lease or rent any property.  Office services are provided without charge by an officer and director of the Company.  Such costs are immaterial to the financial statements and, accordingly, have not been reflected therein.  The officers and directors of the Company are involved in other business activities and may, in the future, become involved in other business opportunities.  If a specific business opportunity becomes available, such persons may face a conflict in selecting between the Company and their other business interests.  The Company has not formulated a policy for the resolution of such conflicts.

CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms.  Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that this information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based upon their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that information required to be included in our periodic SEC filings is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms.

Our Board of Directors were advised by Moore & Associates, Chartered, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, that during their performance of audit procedures for 2008 Moore & Associates, Chartered identified a material weakness as defined in Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Standard No. 2 in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

This deficiency consisted primarily of inadequate staffing and supervision that could lead to the untimely identification and resolution of accounting and disclosure matters and failure to perform timely and effective reviews.  However, the size of the Company prevents us from being able to employ sufficient resources to enable us to have adequate segregation of duties within our internal control system.  Management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.  Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:

 
1.
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;

 
2.
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and

 
3.
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.  All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations.  Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.  Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process.  Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
 

 
28

 


As of December 31, 2008, management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control--Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments.  Based on that evaluation, they concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of US GAAP rules as more fully described below.  This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses.

The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) lack of a functioning audit committee due to a lack of a majority of independent members and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; and (3) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes.  The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by our Chief Executive Officer in connection with the review of our financial statements as of December 31, 2008.

Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth in items (2) and (3) above did not have an effect on our financial results.  However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and the lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.

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

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Audit Committee and Financial Expert

We do not have an Audit Committee. Our directors perform some of the same functions of an Audit Committee, such as: recommending a firm of independent certified public accountants to audit the annual financial statements; reviewing the independent auditors independence, the financial statements and their audit report; and reviewing management's administration of the system of internal accounting controls. The Company does not currently have a written audit committee charter or similar document.

We have no financial expert. We believe the cost related to retaining a financial expert at this time is prohibitive. Further, because of our start-up operations, we believe the services of a financial expert are not warranted.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our director and executive officers, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities, to file reports of beneficial ownership and changes in beneficial ownership of our securities with the SEC on Forms 3 (Initial Statement of Beneficial Ownership), 4 (Statement of Changes of Beneficial Ownership of Securities) and 5 (Annual Statement of Beneficial Ownership of Securities). Directors, executive officers and beneficial owners of more than 10% of our Common Stock are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file.  As a company with securities registered under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, our executive officers and director, and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of our common stock are not required to file Section 16(a) reports.

Code of Ethics

We have not adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions in that our sole officer and director serves in all the above capacities.

Corporate Governance

Nominating Committee

We do not have a Nominating Committee or Nominating Committee Charter. Our directors perform the functions associated with a Nominating Committee. We have elected not to have a Nominating Committee in that we are a development stage company.

Director Nomination Procedures

Nominees for Directors are identified and suggested by the members of the Board or management using their business networks. The Board has not retained any executive search firms or other third parties to identify or evaluate director candidates and does not intend to in the near future. In selecting a nominee for director, the Board or management considers the following criteria:

 
1.
Whether the nominee has the personal attributes for successful service on the Board, such as demonstrated character and integrity; experience at a strategy/policy setting level; managerial experience dealing with complex problems; an ability to work effectively with others; and sufficient time to devote to our affairs;

 
2.
Whether the nominee has been the chief executive officer or senior executive of a public company or a leader of a similar organization, including industry groups, universities or governmental organizations;

 
3.
Whether the nominee, by virtue of particular experience, technical expertise or specialized skills or contacts relevant to our current or future business, will add specific value as a Board member; and

 
4.
Whether there are any other factors related to the ability and willingness of a new nominee to serve, or an existing Board member to continue his service.
 
 

 
31

 

The Board or management has not established any specific minimum qualifications that a candidate for director must meet in order to be recommended for Board membership. Rather, the Board or management will evaluate the mix of skills and experience that the candidate offers, consider how a given candidate meets the Board’s current expectations with respect to each such criterion and make a determination regarding whether a candidate should be recommended to the stockholders for election as a Director. During 2008, we received no recommendation for Directors from our stockholders.

We will consider for inclusion in our nominations of new Board of Directors nominees proposed by stockholders who have held at least 1% of our outstanding voting securities for at least one year. Board candidates referred by such stockholders will be considered on the same basis as Board candidates referred from other sources. Any stockholder who wishes to recommend for our consideration a prospective nominee to serve on the Board of Directors may do so by giving the candidate’s name and qualifications in writing to our Secretary at the following address: 3717 W. Woodside, Spokane, WA 99208.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

In September 2006, David Uddman, an officer, director and shareholder, donated capital to us totaling $275.  The full amount has been donated and is not expected to be repaid.

On October 5, 2006, we issued 6,000,000 shares of our $0.001 par value common stock as founders’ shares to David Uddman, our President and a director, in exchange for cash in the amount of $10,000.

On January 12, 2007, we entered into a Procurement Agreement with The Engravers, Inc., an engraving company in Spokane, Washington owned and operated by the family of our officers and directors.  Through the Agreement, we will have access to the inventory and engraving equipment owned by The Engravers.  In accordance with the Agreement, all items and services sold via our proposed website will be acquired and provided by The Engravers.  We will not hire any engraving employees and will not own any capital equipment.  Pursuant to the Procurement Agreement, all products purchased from The Engravers will be acquired at the wholesale cost of the item, calculated as the cost of the inventory, engraving costs, freight in and freight out.

In September 2007, we loaned David Uddman, an officer and director, cash in the amount of $50.  The loan bore no interest and was payable on demand.  In October 2007, the loan was repaid in full.
