PART
I
Item
1 - Description of Business
Formation and
History
We were
incorporated in the State of Delaware under the name 51142 Inc. on February 2,
2005 as a blank check company to engage in any lawful corporate undertaking,
including, but not limited to, selected mergers and acquisitions.
On July
8, 2005, pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement, Signet
Entertainment Corporation, a Florida corporation, purchased all of our issued
and outstanding common stock for cash consideration of
$36,000. Subsequently, we changed our name to Signet International
Holdings, Inc.
On
September 8, 2005, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement and Share Exchange by
and among us, Signet Entertainment Corporation, and the shareholders of Signet
Entertainment Corporation (“Shareholders”), we acquired all of the then issued
and outstanding preferred and common shares of Signet Entertainment Corporation
for a total of 3,421,000 common shares and 5,000,000 preferred shares of
our stock which was issued to the Signet Entertainment Corporation
shareholders. Pursuant to the agreement Signet Entertainment
Corporation became our wholly owned subsidiary.
The
Company’s current long-range business plan is oriented towards the building of a
new broadcast media group comprised of television stations and complimentary
syndication and production companies serving mid to large sized U.S.
markets. Upon the completion of our fund-raising efforts to
adequately capitalize our business plan we intend to grow into one of the most
significant and diversified television broadcasting companies in the country
today. Our business plan focuses on three complimentary
segments: ownership and operations of various television stations, ownership of
a programming and syndication company and the ownership and operation of a
television production company.
1
Currently,
we only have a single wholly-owned subsidiary, Signet Entertainment Corporation
(“SIG”), which was incorporated on October 17, 2003 for the purpose of launching
a “gaming and entertainment” television network. We will purchase,
lease, and employ the apparatus, equipment, and personnel necessary to establish
the network. The network will cover major Poker and Blackjack
tournaments as well as other major high stakes casino games. The
network will also cover via satellite and cable other sports events such as
horse racing and selected global events which have a sports and
entertainment format. SIG’s largest source of revenue will come from
advertising, specifically from various resorts and casinos, and sporting sites
in North and South America, Europe, Asia and Africa. SIG will realize
income from infomercials and sports and entertainment programming that offer
subject matter that are all-encompassing to the network’s
format. Signet International Holdings, Inc. does not have
international operations.
General
It is our
opinion that we are not a blank check company as defined in Rule 419 under the
Securities Act of 1933 (as amended) since we have conducted operating
activities and have taken affirmative steps in the operation of our business.
Our primary business plan is that of a television broadcasting
company. Part of our business plan includes the acquisition of other
LPTV stations, however, any such acquisition would be contemplated
only so far as such acquisition would further our business plan
to launch a television broadcasting company. Please note
that the only business acquisitions will be solely of LPTV stations or other
broadcast properties and that we will not enter into any agreement that will
result in a change of control. We will not enter into any
acquisition that requires Mr. Letiziano, our sole officer and director, to
give up voting control of our stock or requires his resignation as our
officer or director. In the event we acquire other entities in the
future, Mr. Letiziano will maintain his ownership interest as well as his
positions with us as full-time Chief Executive Officer and majority
stockholder.
Broadcast and Intellectual
Properties
On April
13, 2006 we purchased the exclusive rights to 20 titled half-hour screen plays
representing original programming from FreeHawk Productions, Inc. On
August 19, 2006, by mutual agreement, Signet and FreeHawk rescinded this
agreement. On April 20, 2007, the Company entered into a new purchase
agreement with Freehawk for 100% of the rights to 21 television series
to be produced by Freehawk exclusively for Signet. The total
consideration paid by the Company for these rights was 270,000 shares of
restricted, unregistered common stock and a $50,000 open account
payable. Based on an independent third-party appraisal, the Company
valued this transaction at approximately $2,870,625. The common stock
was issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and no underwriter was used in this
transaction.
On May
22, 2007, the Company acquired the exclusive television rights to “Tales From
The moe.Republic”, by John E. Derhak. This full-length novel is in
the process of being published and is currently being sold in an abridged,
autographed limited edition through the website
www.moerepublic.org. Total consideration paid by the Company for
these rights was 113,662 shares of restricted, unregistered common stock and a
$25,000 open account payable. Based on an independent third-party
appraisal, the Company valued this transaction at approximately
$1,136,600. The common stock was issued pursuant to an exemption from
registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
no underwriter was used in this transaction.
Employees
We
currently have one employee, our sole officer Ernest W.
Letiziano. Mr. Letiziano is Chief Executive Officer and in that role
Mr. Letiziano will implement the business plan. This will involve all
the Duties normally ascribed to a Chief Executive Officer for the day-to-day
management of the business, including but not limited to: secure and manage
revenues, manage costs and cash, safe-guard assets, ensure proper reporting and
compliance with reporting bodies, ensure that the stockholder’s interests are
protected, manage risk and escalate issues as appropriate to the Board, conduct
regular reviews of the business with the Board, and contribute, faithfully and
diligently, to the strategic development of the business.
Competition
With the
growing availability of on demand, self-programming and search features, along
with increased competition from converging industry players in
telecommunications and the Internet, the television industry is facing
unparalleled complexity that will alter traditional TV business
models. The entertainment industry is therefore, extremely
competitive.
2
The
competition comes from both companies within the industry and those who are
engaged in other forms of entertainment media that create alternative forms of
leisure entertainment. The increasing gap between the major networks
and the smaller ones allows market space for smaller companies, such as Signet,
to develop.
Currently
the over the air networks may be identified by size according to the number of
TV households they attract. The basic category or groupings of the major
networks and several of the lesser but better known networks are as
follows:
•
|
Major
networks such as ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX
|
•
|
Major
cable networks such as: ESPN, USA, Bravo, Fox Sports Net, UPN, PAX, The
Travel Channel, The Tube
|
•
|
Smaller
cable networks: Food Channel, Spike TV, HGTV, Golf
Channel
|
•
|
Smaller
Cable/Satellite networks such as: CGTV Network (Canada), Variety Sports
Network, TVG Horse Racing. Such networks reach between one and eight
million TV households.
|
Our key
competitive strategy is diversification in business risk and delivery
systems. We plan to be providers of television content creation,
packaging, programming and distribution; not only to our “owned and operated”
LPTV stations, but via other distribution systems such as cable and
satellite. Additionally, we plan to have our own “sports and
entertainment network” to offer to stations and cable systems.
We will
develop and implement strategies that will not only serve this diverse audience
but will achieve significant cost savings from the traditional supply chain in
order to fund new delivery channels, whether it be cable, broadcast TV, full
power or low power, the Internet or satellite.
The
entertainment industry, and particularly the television industry, is a highly
competitive commerce. Currently this industry is undergoing an
aggressive period of mergers and acquisitions. Once our presence is
recognized, we will experience potential competitors who have greater
financial, marketing, programming and broadcasting resources than we
do.
The
markets in which we have targeted to acquire are also in a constant state of
change arising from, among other things, technological improvements and
economic and regulatory developments. Technological innovation and
the resulting proliferation of television entertainment, such as cable
television, wireless cable, satellite-to-home distribution services,
pay-per-view and home video and entertainment systems, have fractionalized
television viewing audiences and have subjected free over-the-air television
broadcast stations to increased competition. We may not be able to
compete effectively or adjust our business plans to meet changing market
conditions. We are unable to predict what form of competition will
develop in the future, the extent of the competition or its possible effects on
our businesses.
Government
Regulation
The
broadcasting industry is subject to regulation by the FCC pursuant to the
Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the “Communications
Act”). Approval by the FCC is required for the issuance, renewal and
assignment of station operating licenses and the transfer of control of
station licensees. Although the Company does not currently hold an
FCC license, in the event that it acquires or is granted an FCC license in the
future, the Company’s business will be dependent upon its continuing to hold
television broadcast licenses from the FCC, which license are issued for maximum
terms of eight years. While in the vast majority of cases such
licenses are renewed by the FCC, there can be no assurance that the Company will
be able to renew licenses it acquires or is grant at their expiration
dates. If such licenses were not renewed or acquisitions approved, we
may lose revenue that we otherwise could have earned.
3
Although
we do not currently own any broadcast properties, our business plan contemplates
that we may acquire such properties through acquisition of LPTV stations. Based
on same, Federal regulation of the broadcasting industry will limit our
operating flexibility, which may affect our ability to generate revenue or
reduce our costs in the event we acquire such broadcast properties. In addition,
Congress and the FCC currently have under consideration, and may in the future
adopt, new laws, regulations and policies regarding a wide variety of matters
(including technological changes) that could, directly or indirectly, materially
and adversely affect our ability to acquire broadcast properties and the
operation and ownership of such broadcast properties. New Federal legislation
may limit our ability to conduct our business in ways that we believe would be
advantageous and may thereby negatively affect our operating results and
strategic decisions.
We
have not applied for any FCC licenses. However, application will be
made immediately subsequent to execution of an agreement which results in
the acquisition of a license, LPTV station or other broadcast
property. Although the waiting period for approval of such licenses
can take between 60-90 days, such period will have no effect on our business
since we intend to assume responsibility only upon license
approval.
Item
2 - Description of Property
We
currently operate from leased office facilities at 205 Worth Avenue, Suite
316 Palm Beach, FL 33480 under an operating lease. This
lease agreement was originally expired to expire in July 2009 and has been
amended to a month-to-month basis. The lease currently requires
monthly payments of approximately $965 and we are not responsible for any
additional charges for common area maintenance.
We also
reimburse two non-executive personnel for the use of their personal home
offices, which are not exclusive to the Company’s business, at approximately
$250 per month. These agreements are on a month-to-month
basis.
For the
respective years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company paid or accrued
an aggregate of $21,068 and $19,325 for rent under these
agreements.
Item
3 - Legal Proceedings
At the
current time, we are not presently parties to any litigation, nor to our
knowledge and belief is any litigation threatened or
contemplated. From time to time, in the future, we may become subject
to various legal proceedings that would be incidental to the ordinary conduct of
our business. At this time, we do not anticipate that any such
proceedings, if any, either individually or in the aggregate, would be material
to its business or likely to result in a material adverse effect on its future
operating results, financial condition, or cash flows.
As
disclosed in our Registration Statement filed on Form SB-2 which became
effective on February 2, 2007, we issued an aggregate of approximately 4,100,000
shares of common stock to various founders of which 680,000 shares were
registered on the Form SB-2 for unrestricted trading.
By July
2007, one founding stockholder had sold 100% of his 5,000 registered shares,
which were approximately 3.1% of the total 151,000 shares issued to him at
inception of the Company. In July 2007, it became apparent that this founding
stockholder had no intentions of assisting the Company as promised.
Consequently, we issued a demand for the return of the remaining 146,000 shares
citing misrepresentation and failure to perform according to initial
understanding between this founding stockholder and the Company.
On
September 17, 2007, the Company filed a brief in District Court - Dallas County,
Texas petitioning for the return of the Company’s 146,000 shares of stock
pursuant to our claims. On October 1, 2007, as a result of a court
ordered mediation, we were granted rescission and recovery of 116,000 shares
with an agreement that the defendant founding stockholder would not discuss
company business with other persons and to otherwise completely separate himself
from the Company.

Item
5 - Market for Company’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Small
Business Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
We filed
a request for clearance of quotations on the OTC Bulletin Board under SEC Rule
15c2-11, Subsection (a)(5) with NASD Regulation Inc. On March 7,
2007, we were issued a clearance letter and the trading symbol “SIGN” was issued
on our common stock.
Management
is of the opinion that there is a limited trading market for our equity
securities. As such, the market price of our common stock is subject
to significant fluctuations in response to variations in our
quarterly operating results, general trends in the market, and other
factors, over many of which we have little or no control. In addition, broad
market fluctuations, as well as general economic, business and political
conditions, may adversely affect the market for our common stock,
regardless of our actual or projected performance.
The
ask/high and bid/low information for each calendar quarter since March 7, 2007,

Results
of Operations
|
The
Company had no revenue for either of the years ended December 31, 2008 or 2007,
respectively.
"Our
total general and administrative operating expenses for each of the years ended
December 31, 2008 and 2007 were approximately $311,000 and $307,000,
respectively. Included in these expenses is approximately $70,000 per
year for executive salaries and approximately $124,000 and $113,000
for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, for
administrative and other non-executive compensation during the same
annual periods. Our non-compensation expenses were approximately
$117,000 and $124,000 for each of the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007
with the majority of these expenditures relating to office rents, as previously
discussed, and legal and other professional fees. All of the above expenses
relate to the consistent refinement and implementation of our business plan, the
maintenance of the corporate entity and the preparation and filing of
various periodic reports pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as required. It is anticipated that future expenditure levels will
increase as we implement our business plan and start full-scale
operations."
Earnings
per share for the respective years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were
$(0.07) and $(0.07) based on the weighted-average shares issued and outstanding
at the end of each respective period.
We do not
expect to generate any meaningful revenue or incur operating expenses for
purposes other than refining and implementing our business plan and maintaining
our obligations as a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
unless and until such time that we begin meaningful
operations.
At
December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, the Company had working capital of
approximately $(792,000) and $(540,000), respectively. The working capital
deficit includes aggregate accrued officer and other compensation of
approximately $657,000 and $464,000 which all concerned parties have agreed to
defer payment of said accrued compensation until the Board of Directors deem
payments be made on an appropriate timely basis or as financial conditions
warrant.
It is the
intent of management and significant stockholders to provide sufficient working
capital necessary to support and preserve the integrity of the corporate entity.
However, there is no legal obligation for either management or significant
stockholders to provide additional future funding. Should this pledge fail to
provide financing, the Company has not identified any alternative sources.
Consequently, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue
as a going concern.
The
Company’s need for capital may change dramatically as a result of any business
acquisition or combination transaction. There can be no assurance that the
Company will identify any such business, product, technology or company suitable
for acquisition in the future. Further, there can be no assurance that the
Company would be successful in consummating any acquisition on favorable terms
or that it will be able to profitably manage the business, product, technology
or company it acquires.

Plan
of Business
|
During
the preceding periods, the Company has endeavored to secure funding to implement
our business plan relating to the acquisition of LPTV stations by initiating the
negotiation of Sale & Share Exchange Contracts with the owners of various
identified LPTV Stations. In connection with the economic decline,
Signet has experienced an adversity of investors’ willingness to enter into debt
or equity financing. It has been determined that to spend additional
time to pursue funding in the TV and Media industry other than the acquisition
of AMG TV, Signet will seek only those investors interested in funding the AMG
TV acquisition and operations. Based upon our review and understanding of the
marketplace today, we believe that we will not be able to take the appropriate
steps to effectuate the acquisition of LPTV station(s). However, our current
financial condition and the condition of the capital markets in today's
environment may not allow us to complete any acquisition in a timely manner
including the acquisition of AMG TV.
8
At the
present time, management has no commitments for raising additional operating
capital. Accordingly, our future cash requirements are anticipated to be met
through the sale of additional equity securities, short-term loans from
executive officers and/or the proceeds of additional equity offerings in
conjunction with the acquisition of AMG TV. Although we have verbal
assurances from Mr. Letiziano that he will provide such interim working capital,
there is no legal obligation for either management or significant stockholders
to provide additional future funding. We may raise additional funds through
public offerings of equity, securities convertible into equity or debt, or
private offerings of securities.
On July
23, 2008, we executed an Option to Purchase Asset Agreement (Agreement) with
Access Media Group, Inc. (a Florida Corporation) dba AMG TV, headquartered in
Jensen Beach, FL, to acquire 100% of the assets, satellite delivery service
contracts, customer service agreements in the USA and the Caribbean, including
the business operations located in Pittsburgh and North New Jersey for an agreed
purchase price is $3 million, payable as set forth in the Agreement, and the
issuance of 100,000 shares of our restricted, unregistered common
stock. The term of our option is one (1) year and expires on July 22,
2009. As consideration for the Agreement, we issued 20,000 shares of
restricted, unregistered common stock to Access Media Group, Inc. and we have up
to 180 days to complete the acquisition after serving notice to AMG TV that we
intend to exercise the option. Our management is actively pursuing
the necessary capital resources to exercise the option and integrate these
operations according to our Business Plan.
Our
management is actively pursuing the necessary capital resources to exercise the
option and integrate these operations according to our Business
Plan.
(4)
Capital Resources and Liquidity
As of
December 31, 2008, we had approximately $44,996 in cash. Our monthly
cash requirements presently average $11,000 per month.
As
reflected in the accompanying financial statements, we are in the development
stage with no operations. Our ability to continue as a going concern
is dependent on our ability to raise additional capital and implement our
business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that
might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going
concern. We have no plans to pay no salaries per month to our sole
officer and employee until we are properly funded. We intend to raise additional
capital to continue our operations although there is no assurance we will be
successful. Currently we have no material commitments to make capital
expenditures.
It is the
intent of management and significant stockholders, if necessary, to provide
sufficient working capital necessary to support and preserve the integrity of
the corporate entity. However, there is no legal obligation for
either management or significant stockholders to provide additional future
funding. Should this pledge fail to provide financing, we have not
identified any alternative sources. Consequently, there is
substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our need
for capital may change dramatically as a result of any business acquisition or
combination transaction. There can be no assurance that we will
identify any such business, product, technology or company suitable for
acquisition in the future. Further, there can be no assurance that we
would be successful in consummating any acquisition on favorable terms or that
it will be able to profitably manage the business, product, technology or
company it acquires.
Management
believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and
implement its strategic plans provide the opportunity for us to continue as a
going concern. The Company is still in the process of developing and
implementing its business plan and raising additional capital. As
such, the Company is considered to be a development stage company.

Critical Accounting Policies
Our
financial statements and related public financial information are based on the
application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions,
judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have
an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenue and expense amounts
reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information
contained in our external disclosures including information regarding
contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use if
estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are
consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on
historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be
reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ
materially from these estimates under different assumptions or
conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made
during the preparation of our financial statements.
Our
significant accounting policies are summarized in the accompanying financial
statements. While all these significant accounting policies impact
our financial condition and results of operations, our views certain of these
policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that
have the most significant impact on our financial statements and require
management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual
results may differ from those estimates. Our management believes that given
current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other
reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause effect on our
consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the
periods presented in this report.

Disclosure

Item
9A - Controls and Procedures
Disclosure
Controls and Procedures. Our management, under the supervision
and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief
Financial Officer (CFO), has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure
controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15 promulgated under the
Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report. Based on
such evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of the end of the
period covered by this Annual Report, our disclosure controls and procedures are
effective. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and
procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our
reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s
rules and forms and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that
information we are required to disclose in such reports is accumulated and
communicated to management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There was no
change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the
quarter ended December 31, 2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting which
internal controls will remain deficient until such time as the Company completes
a merger transaction or acquisition of an operating business at which time
management will be able to implement effective controls and
procedures.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control
over Financial Reporting. Management is responsible for
establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting,
as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act.
Internal
control over financial reporting is defined under the Exchange Act as a process
designed by, or under the supervision of, our CEO and CFO and effected by our
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:
10
s
|
Pertain
to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and
fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our
assets;
|
s
|
Provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being
made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and
directors; and
|
s
|
Provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have
a material effect on the financial
statements.
|
Because
of its inherent limitation, internal control over financial reporting may not
prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluations
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 and procedures may
deteriorate. Accordingly, even an effective system of internal
control over financial reporting will provide only reasonable assurance with
respect to financial statement preparation.
Management's
assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial
reporting is as of the year ended December 31, 2008. We may be
currently considered to be a shell company in as much as, at this time, we have
an uncertain business plan, no operations, revenues or
employees. Because we have only one officer and director, the
Company's internal controls are deficient for the following reasons, (1) there
are no entity level controls because there is only one person serving in the
dual capacity of sole officer and sole director, (2) there are no segregation of
duties as that same person approves, enters, and pays the Company's bills,
and (3) there is no separate audit committee. As a result, the
Company's internal controls have an inherent weakness which may increase the
risks of errors in financial reporting under current operations and accordingly
are deficient as evaluated against the criteria set forth in the Internal
Control - Integrated Framework issued by the committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation,
our management concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting
were not effective as of December 31, 2008.
This
Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public
accounting firm regarding our internal control over financial
reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our
registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that
permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual
Report.

The
director named above will serve until the next annual meeting of the Company’s
stockholders or until any successors are duly elected and have
qualified. Directors will be elected for one-year terms at the annual
stockholders meeting. Officers will hold their positions at the pleasure of the
board of directors, absent any employment agreement, of which none currently
exists or is contemplated. There is no arrangement or understanding
between any of the directors or officers of the Company and any other person
pursuant to which any director or officer was or is to be selected as a director
or officer, and there is no arrangement, plan or understanding as to whether
non-management stockholders will exercise their voting rights to continue to
elect the current directors to the Company’s board. There are also no
arrangements, agreements or understandings between non-management stockholders
that may directly or indirectly participate in or influence the management
of the Company’s affairs.
We have
not compensated our Directors for service on our Board of Directors, any
committee thereof, or reimbursed for expenses incurred for attendance at
meetings of our Board of Directors and/or any committee of our Board of
Directors. Officers are appointed annually by our Board of Directors and
each Executive Officer serves at the discretion of our Board of Directors. We do
not have any standing committees. Our Board of Directors may in the future
determine to pay Directors’ fees and reimburse Directors for expenses
related to their activities.
To our
knowledge, during the past five years, none of our directors, executive
officers, promoters, control persons, or nominees has been:
•
|
the
subject of any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of
which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the
time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that
time;
|
•
|
convicted
in a criminal proceeding or is subject to a pending criminal proceeding
(excluding traffic violations and other minor
offenses);
|
•
|
subject
to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or
vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or
temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his
involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities;
or
|
•
|
found
by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Commission
or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or
state securities or commodities
law.
|
Our sole
director and officer will devote his time to the Company’s affairs on an as
needed basis, which, depending on the circumstances, could amount to as little
as two hours per month, or more than forty hours per month. There are
no agreements or understandings for the officer or director to resign at the
request of another person, and he is not acting on behalf of, and will not act
at the direction of, any other person.
Biographical
Information

appointed as the Company’s President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial
officer and sole director as of July 8, 2005. Mr. Letiziano, age 61, has over 40
years of experience in finance, business and sports and entertainment. After
serving his internship with Haskins & Sells, CPA’s (currently Deliotte), Mr.
Letiziano sat for his CPA Certificate in Pennsylvania. In 1964, he also received
his Registered Municipal Accountant’s Certificate to practice in New York, New
Jersey and Pennsylvania. He was employed with Haskins and Sells from 1962-1969.
Mr. Letiziano attended Pennsylvania State University, where he majored in
accounting and economics. From 1970-1972, he co-owned an accounting practice in
Reading, PA. From 1992 to the present, Mr. Letiziano has been self-employed as
an international monetarist facilitating financial transactions for his clients.
From 1988 to 1993, Mr. Letiziano was CEO of Ringside International Broadcasting
Corporation, (NASDAQ: RIBC). RIBC enjoyed over 4 years of success in sports and

worldwide.
12
Audit
Committee
We do not
have a standing audit committee of the Board of Directors. Management has
determined not to establish an audit committee at present because of our limited
resources and limited operating activities do not warrant the formation of an
audit committee or the expense of doing so. We do not have a
financial expert serving on the Board of Directors or employed as an officer
based on management’s belief that the cost of obtaining the services of a person
who meets the criteria for a financial expert under Item 401(e) of Regulation
S-B is beyond its limited financial resources and the financial skills of such
an expert are simply not required or necessary for us to maintain effective
internal controls and procedures for financial reporting in light of
the limited scope and simplicity of accounting issues raised in its
financial statements at this stage of its development.
Significant
Employees
None.
Family
Relationships
No family
relationships exist among our directors or executive officers.
Code
of Ethics
We have
adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer. This Code of Ethics has previously been included as an
Exhibit to a prior filing.
Compliance
with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act
Section
16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company's officers and
directors, and persons who own more than 10 percent of a registered class
of the Company's equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in
ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Officers,
directors, and greater than 10 percent stockholders are required by SEC
regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they
file.
To the
Company's knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies of such reports
furnished to the Company, all reports under Section 16(a) required to be filed
by its officers and directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners
have not been timely filed as of the date of this filing.
Item
11 - Executive Compensation
Our sole
officer and director is engaged full-time in the implementation of our business
plan; however, has been paid less than $2,500 total since the inception of the
Company. Our sole officer and director have agreed to defer the
payment of all accrued and unpaid compensation until such time that we have
positive cash producing activities.

The
Company has no other Executive Compensation issues which would require the
inclusion of other mandated table disclosures.
Mr.
Letiziano has agreed to defer payment of his salary for this period and,
therefore, we have accrued such compensation as “accrued officer compensation”
in the accompanying financial statements. Such accrued compensation
will be paid when the Company is able to do so. Mr. Letiziano’s
salary is determined by the Board of Directors of which Mr. Letiziano is the
sole member. In determining his salary, consideration was given to
(i) the financial resources of the Company; (ii) the number of hours each week
Mr. Letiziano devotes to the Company; (iii) the salaries of executive officers
of other companies in the similar industries; and (iv)the salaries of executive
officers of other companies in the developmental stage. There is no
formal or informal understanding regarding Mr. Letiziano’s salary which will be
determined in the future based upon the factors set forth above and based upon
our revenues.

We have

future, is compatible with S. W. Hatfield, CPA maintaining its
independence and have determined that these services do not compromise their
independence.
Financial
Information System Design and Implementation: S. W. Hatfield, CPA did not charge
the Company any fees for financial information system design and implementation
fees.

The
Company has no formal audit committee. However, the entire Board of
Directors (Board) is the Company's defacto audit committee. In discharging
its oversight responsibility as to the audit process, the Board obtained from
the independent auditors a formal written statement describing all relationships
between the auditors and the Company that might bear on the auditors'
independence as required by the appropriate Professional Standards issued by the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the U. S. Securities and Exchange
Commission and/or the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
The Board discussed with the auditors any relationships that may impact their
objectivity and independence, including fees for non-audit services, and
satisfied itself as to the auditors' independence. The Board also discussed with
management, the internal auditors, if any, and the independent auditors the
quality and adequacy of the Company's internal controls.
The
Company’s principal accountant, S. W. Hatfield, CPA, did not engage any other
persons or firms other than the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent
employees.

Report of Independent
Registered Certified Public Accounting Firm
Board of
Directors and Stockholders
Signet
International Holdings, Inc.
We have
audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Signet International
Holdings, Inc. (a Delaware corporation and a development stage company) and
Subsidiary (a Florida corporation) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the
related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss,
consolidated changes in shareholders' deficit and consolidated statements of
cash flows for each of the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and for the
period from October 17, 2003 (date of inception) through December 31, 2008,
respectively. 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 audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the 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 also includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides 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 Signet
International Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and
the results of its consolidated operations and its consolidated cash flows each
of the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and for the period from
October 17, 2003 (date of inception) through December 31, 2008,
respectively, in conformity with generally accepted 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 C to the
financial statements, the Company has no viable operations or significant assets
and is dependent upon significant shareholders to provide sufficient working
capital to maintain the integrity of the corporate entity. These
circumstances create substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue
as a going concern and are discussed in Note C. The financial
statements do not contain any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
these uncertainties.

Note
A - Organization and Description of Business
Signet
International Holdings, Inc. (Company) was incorporated on February 2, 2005 in
accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware as 51142, Inc. The
Company changed its corporate name to Signet International Holdings, Inc. in
conjunction with the September 8, 2005 transaction discussed below.
On
September 8, 2005, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement and Share Exchange
(Agreement) by and among Signet International Holdings, Inc. (Signet); Signet
Entertainment Corporation (SIG) and the shareholders of SIG (Shareholders)
(collectively SIG and the SIG shareholders shall be known as the “SIG Group”),
Signet acquired 100.0% of the then issued and outstanding preferred and common
stock of SIG for a total of 3,421,000 common shares and 5,000,000 preferred
shares of Signet’s stock issued to the SIG Group. Pursuant to the
agreement, SIG became a wholly owned subsidiary of Signet.
Signet
Entertainment Corporation was incorporated on October 17, 2003 in accordance
with the Laws of the State of Florida. SIG was formed to establish a
television network “The Gaming and Entertainment Network”. To date,
this effort has been incomplete.
The
Company is considered in the development stage and, as such, has generated no
significant operating revenues and has incurred cumulative operating losses of
approximately $1,542,000.
Note
B - Preparation of Financial Statements
The
acquisition of Signet Entertainment Corporation by Signet International
Holdings, Inc. effected a change in control of Signet International Holdings,
Inc. and is accounted for as a “reverse acquisition” whereby Signet
Entertainment Corporation is the accounting acquirer for financial statement
purposes. Accordingly, for all periods subsequent to the “reverse
merger” transaction, the financial statements of the Signet International
Holdings, Inc. will reflect the historical financial statements of Signet
Entertainment Corporation from it’s inception and the operations of Signet
International Holdings, Inc. subsequent to the September 8, 2005 transaction
date.
The
Company follows the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America and has a year-end
of December 31.
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Management
further acknowledges that it is solely responsible for adopting sound accounting
practices, establishing and maintaining a system of internal accounting control
and preventing and detecting fraud. The Company’s system of internal
accounting control is designed to assure, among other items, that 1) recorded
transactions are valid; 2) valid transactions are recorded; and 3) transactions
are recorded in the proper period in a timely manner to produce financial
statements which present fairly the financial condition, results of operations
and cash flows of the Company for the respective periods being
presented.
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements contain the accounts of Signet
International Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Signet
Entertainment Corporation. All significant intercompany transactions
have been eliminated. The consolidated entities are collectively
referred to as “Company”.
Note
C - Going Concern Uncertainty
The
Company is still in the process of developing and implementing it’s business
plan and raising additional capital. As such, the Company is
considered to be a development stage company.

Notes

December

Note
C - Going Concern Uncertainty - Continued
The
Company's continued existence is dependent upon its ability to generate
sufficient cash flows from operations to support its daily operations as well as
provide sufficient resources to retire existing liabilities and obligations on a
timely basis.
The
Company anticipates that future sales of equity securities to fully implement
it’s business plan or to raise working capital to support and preserve the
integrity of the corporate entity may be necessary. There is no
assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional funding through the
sales of additional equity securities or, that such funding, if available, will
be obtained on terms favorable to or affordable by the Company.
If no
additional capital is received to successfully implement the Company’s business
plan, the Company will be forced to rely on existing cash in the bank and upon
additional funds which may or may not be loaned by management and/or significant
stockholders to preserve the integrity of the corporate entity at this
time. In the event, the Company is unable to acquire sufficient
capital, the Company’s ongoing operations would be negatively
impacted.
It is the
intent of management and significant stockholders to provide sufficient working
capital necessary to support and preserve the integrity of the corporate
entity. However, no formal commitments or arrangements to advance or
loan funds to the Company or repay any such advances or loans
exist. There is no legal obligation for either management or
significant stockholders to provide additional future funding.
While the
Company is of the opinion that good faith estimates of the Company’s ability to
secure additional capital in the future to reach our goals have been made, there
is no guarantee that the Company will receive sufficient funding to sustain
operations or implement any future business plan steps.
Note
D - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
1.
Cash and cash
equivalents
For
Statement of Cash Flows purposes, the Company considers all cash on hand and in
banks, certificates of deposit and other highly-liquid investments with
maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash and cash
equivalents.
2.
Organization
costs
The
Company has adopted the provisions of AICPA Statement of Position 98-5,
“Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities” whereby all organizational and
initial costs incurred with the incorporation and initial capitalization of the
Company were charged to operations as incurred.
3.
Research and development
expenses
Research
and development expenses are charged to operations as incurred.
4.
Advertising
expenses
The
Company does not utilize direct solicitation advertising. All other
advertising and marketing expenses are charged to operations as
incurred.
5.
Income
Taxes
The
Company files income tax returns in the United States of America and may file,
as applicable and appropriate, various state(s). With few exceptions,
the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, as
applicable, income tax examinations by regulatory taxing authorities for years
before 2005. The Company does not anticipate any examinations of
returns filed since 2005.

Income Taxes -
continued
The
Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income
taxes. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, the deferred tax
asset and deferred tax liability accounts, as recorded when material to the
financial statements, are entirely the result of temporary
differences. Temporary differences generally represent differences in
the recognition of assets and liabilities for tax and financial reporting
purposes, primarily accumulated depreciation and amortization, allowance for
doubtful accounts and vacation accruals.
The
Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, on January 1, 2007. FASB Interpretation
No. 48 requires the recognition of potential liabilities as a result of
management’s acceptance of potentially uncertain positions for income tax
treatment on a “more-likely-than-not” probability of an assessment upon
examination by a respective taxing authority. As a result of the
implementation of Interpretation 48, the Company did not incur any liability for
unrecognized tax benefits.
6.
Earnings (loss) per
share
Basic
earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss)
available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding during the respective period presented in our accompanying financial
statements.
Fully
diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic income (loss) per
share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of common
stock equivalents (primarily outstanding options and warrants).
Common
stock equivalents represent the dilutive effect of the assumed exercise of the
outstanding stock options and warrants, using the treasury stock method, at
either the beginning of the respective period presented or the date of issuance,
whichever is later, and only if the common stock equivalents are considered
dilutive based upon the Company’s net income (loss) position at the calculation
date.
At
December 31, 2008 and 2007, and subsequent thereto, the Company’s issued and
outstanding preferred stock is considered anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net
operating loss position.
7.
Pending and/or New
Accounting Pronouncements
The
Company is of the opinion that any pending accounting pronouncements, either in
the adoption phase or not yet required to be adopted, will not have a
significant impact on the Company's financial position or results of
operations.
Note
E - Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The
carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes
payable, as applicable, approximates fair value due to the short term nature of
these items and/or the current interest rates payable in relation to current
market conditions.
Interest
rate risk is the risk that the Company’s earnings are subject to fluctuations in
interest rates on either investments or on debt and is fully dependent upon the
volatility of these rates. The Company does not use derivative
instruments to moderate its exposure to interest rate risk, if any.
Financial
risk is the risk that the Company’s earnings are subject to fluctuations in

As of
December 31, 2008, the Company has a net operating loss carryforward of
approximately $695,000 for Federal income tax purposes and approximately
$590,000 for State income tax purposes. The amount and availability
of any future net operating loss carryforwards may be subject to limitations set
forth by the Internal Revenue Code. Factors such as the number of shares
ultimately issued within a three year look-back period; whether there is a
deemed more than 50 percent change in control; the applicable long-term tax
exempt bond rate; continuity of historical business; and subsequent income of
the Company all enter into the annual computation of allowable annual
utilization of the carryforwards.
The
Company's income tax expense (benefit) for each of the years ended December 31,
2008 and 2007 and for the period from October 17, 2003 (date of inception)

J - Common Stock Transactions - Continued
Between
July 20, 2005 and August 26, 2005, Signet Entertainment Corporation sold an
aggregate 57,000 shares of common stock to existing and new shareholders at a
price of $0.01 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $570. As
this selling price was substantially below the “fair value” of comparable
transactions, the Company recognized a charge to operations for consulting
expense equivalent to the difference between the established “fair value” of
$1.00 per share (as determined by the pricing in the September 2005 Private
Placement Memorandum) and the selling price of $0.01 per share.
On
September 9, 2005, the Company commenced the sale of common stock pursuant to a
Private Placement Memorandum in a self-underwritten offering. This
Memorandum is offering for sale to persons who qualify as accredited investors
and to a limited number of sophisticated investors, on a best efforts basis, up
to 2,000,000 of our common shares at $1.00 per share, for anticipated gross
proceeds of $2,000,000. The common shares will be offered through the
Company’s officers and directors on a best-efforts basis. The minimum
investment is $1,000, however, the Company might, at it’s sole discretion,
accept subscriptions for lesser amounts. Funds received from all
subscribers will be released to the Company upon acceptance of the subscriptions
by the Company’s management. Through December 31, 2006, the
Company has sold an aggregate 381,000 shares for gross proceeds of $381,000
under this Memorandum.
On March
31, 2006, the Company repurchased 50,000 shares of common stock from the estate
of a deceased shareholder which purchased said shares for $50,000 cash pursuant
to the aforementioned September 2005 Private Placement Memorandum for $50,000
cash. In June 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors cancelled these
shares and returned them to unissued status.
On June
22, 2006, the Company issued 250,000 shares of unregistered, restricted common
stock, valued at $0.50 per share or $125,000, in payment of
consulting fees. As the agreed-upon value of the services
provided was less than the “fair value” of comparable transactions, the Company
has recognized an additional charge to Consulting Fees equivalent to the
difference between the established “fair value” of $1.00 per share (as
determined by the pricing in the September 2005 Private Placement Memorandum)
and the agreed-upon value of $0.50 per share in the corresponding line item in
the Company’s Statement of Operations.
On April
16, 2007, the Company issued 270,000 shares of unregistered, restricted common
stock for the acquisition of certain broadcast and other production
rights. These shares were sold pursuant to an exemption from
registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
no underwriter was used in this transaction.
On May 2,
2007, the Company sold, in a private transaction, 6,800 shares of unregistered,
restricted common stock at a price of $1.00 per share for cash. These
shares were sold pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(2)
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and no underwriter was used in this
transaction.
On May
22, 2007, the Company issued 113,662 shares of unregistered, restricted common
stock for the acquisition of intellectual properties related to literary
works. These shares were sold pursuant to an exemption from

no underwriter was used in this transaction.
On August
30, 2007, the Company sold, in a private transaction, 12,500 shares of
unregistered, restricted common stock at a price of $1.00 per share for
cash. These shares were sold pursuant to an exemption from
registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
no underwriter was used in this transaction.
On June
5, 2008, the Company sold, in a private transaction, 3,000 shares of
unregistered, restricted common stock for cash proceeds of $800, which
approximated the fair value and closing quoted price of the Company’s common
stock on the transaction date. These shares were sold pursuant to an
exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and no underwriter was used in this transaction.
