Notes to Condensed Financial Statements

Note 1 - Basis of presentation

The interim financial statements included herein, presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles and stated in US dollars, have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein.  It is suggested that these interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2012 and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K.  The Company follows the same accounting policies in the preparation of interim reports.

Results of operations for the interim periods are not indicative of annual results.

Note 2 - 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 ASC 915-10, “Development Stage Entities,” the Company is considered a development stage company.  

Note 3 - Going concern

The Company’s financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $97,135. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.

In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources.  The Company is contemplating conducting an offering of its debt or equity securities to obtain additional operating capital.  The Company is dependent upon its ability, and will continue to attempt, to secure equity and/or debt financing.  There are no assurances that the Company will be successful and without sufficient financing it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.

Note 4 - 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.

Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following conditions are satisfied: (1) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement; (2) the amount of fees to be paid by the customer is fixed or determinable; (3) the product has been provided to the customer; and (4) the collection of our fees is probable.  The Company will record revenue when it is realizable and earned and the product has been shipped to the customer.

Loss per share

Net loss per share is provided in accordance with FASB ASC 260-10, “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.  Diluted income (loss) per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. The Company had no dilutive common stock equivalents, such as stock options or warrants as of June 30, 2013.

Note 5 - Debt and interest expense

Through June 30, 2013, a non-affiliated third-party loaned the Company an aggregate of $2,000 in cash.  The note bears no interest and is due upon demand.  

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.

From the inception of the Company through June 30, 2013, an officer and director of the Company donated cash in the amount of $53,275.  The entire amount is considered to be additional paid-in capital.

As of June 30, 2013, there have been no other issuances of common stock.

Note 7 - Warrants and options

As of June 30, 2013, there were no warrants or options outstanding to acquire any additional shares of common stock.

Note 8 - Related party transactions

From the inception of the Company through June 30, 2013, an officer and director of the Company donated cash in the amount of $53,275.  The entire amount is considered to be additional paid-in capital.

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.

Note 9 - Subsequent Events

The Company’s Management has reviewed all material events through the date of this report in accordance with ASC 855-10, and believes there are no further material subsequent events to report.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements about The Engraving Masters, Inc.’s business, financial condition and prospects that reflect management’s assumptions and beliefs based on information currently available.  We can give no assurance that the expectations indicated by such forward-looking statements will be realized.  If any of our management’s assumptions should prove incorrect, or if any of the risks and uncertainties underlying such expectations should materialize, The Engraving Master’s actual results may differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements.

The key factors that are not within our control and that may have a direct bearing on operating results include, but are not limited to, acceptance of our services, our ability to expand our customer base, managements’ ability to raise capital in the future, the retention of key employees and changes in the regulation of our industry.

There may be other risks and circumstances that management may be unable to predict.  When used in this Quarterly Report, words such as,  "believes,"  "expects," "intends,"  "plans,"  "anticipates,"  "estimates" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although there may be certain forward-looking statements not accompanied by such expressions.

Management’s Discussion and Results of Operation

We plan on becoming 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 three months ended June 30, 2013, our expenses of $4,482 consisted solely of general and administrative expenses.  In the comparable three month period ended June 30, 2012, our expenses of $2,686 consisted solely of general and administrative expenses.  

In the six month period ended June 30, 2013, total expenses were $9,942 compared to $9,634 in the comparable period ended June 30, 2012.  

Aggregate operating expenses from our inception on September 11, 2006 through June 30, 2013 were $97,135, of which $1,521 is related to depreciation expense and $95,614 in general and administrative expenses.  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 not having 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 three month period ended June 30, 2013, our net loss totaled $4,482, compared to a net loss of $2,686 in the comparable three month period ended June 30, 2012.  During the six month period ended June 30, 2013, we incurred a net loss of $9,942.  In the comparable six month period ended June 30, 2012, we incurred a net loss of $9,634.  Since our inception, we have accumulated net losses in the amount of $97,135.  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 June 30, 2013.  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.  

10

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 quarterly report, we are a development stage company with no revenues and a limited operational history.  We have a website located at www.engravingmasters.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 website.  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.  

As of June 30, 2013, we had $240 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 2013, given the 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 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.

Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our Principal Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the period covered by this Report. Based on that evaluation, it was concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not designed at a reasonable assurance level and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure

Changes in internal controls over financial reporting  

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report, which has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

11

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
