PART I
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Business Development and Summary
Excaliber Enterprises, Ltd. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on October 6, 2005.
Our administrative office is located at 13834 W. Hoyt Road, Rathdrum, ID 83858.
Our fiscal year end is December 31.
Business of Issuer
Principal Products and Principal Markets
Our business purpose is to market specialty gift baskets to real estate and health care professionals and organizations through the Internet. We plan to offer potential customers the ability to choose from a variety of gift baskets that will be pre-designed by Stephanie Jones, our President. Our proposed gift baskets can be given as thank yous, gifts or rewards to clients, patients, employees or associates. For example, a realtor, whose client just purchased a new home, can order either a home essentials basket containing household cleaners and supplies or a housewarming basket with gourmet foods. In targeting the medical community, a sample get-well basket could include activity books and aspirin. We have not yet designed any gift basket ideas and thus do not currently have any catalog of items to sell.
We are developing a website at www.ExcaliberStore.com, which serves as our base of operations and the sole method through which we will generate sales. The site is our singular storefront, through which we will market, sell, and distribute gift baskets. To date, we have not identified or contacted any manufacturers or suppliers.
The baskets and products we plan to place in the baskets will purchased from outside sources. We are in the process of identifying suppliers and manufacturers, and have not made any determination which, if any we will contact. We will not manufacture or produce any item. Instead, we will seek to purchase these items from outside sources and assemble them in the pre-designed format. Assembly of baskets is intended to be done in-house by our management. In the event we are unable to handle assembly and fulfillment in-house, we may seek to outsource these functions to independent third parties. We will not manufacture or produce any item ourselves. We are still in the development stage, and we do not have any saleable inventory and have not yet identified any specific products, suppliers or fulfillment companies.
Additionally, our management believes that we may be able to acquire good and services from existing third-party specialty gift companies. We are in the process of identifying companies with merchandising programs that will allow us to either list and sell their existing inventory of baskets or earn commissions based upon sales affected by us. We have not identified any such third-party companies from which to purchase pre-manufactured baskets and cannot guarantee that we will be able to obtain such baskets at a preferred or reasonable price.

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 gift baskets is very competitive and highly fragmented. There are numerous existing and potential competitors selling gift baskets. Our management believes that national chains that offer a large selection of merchandise compete directly, yet co-exist, with smaller companies that have either a regional presence, single locations or are strictly Internet-based. We expect to compete with many online and physical gift basket retailers, which we believe can be divided into several groups:
|
1.
|
National chains and franchises, such as Harry & David and Hickory Farms;
|
|
2.
|
Catalog retailers and Internet-based companies, such as Red Envelope and Blue Nile; and
|
|
3.
|
Local and regional companies that cater to a limited geographic area and/or a niche market; and
|
Our management believes there exists a significant number of competitors selling relatively similar and competitively priced merchandise. In addition, convenience and reliability, as well as quality of customer service and the breadth and depth of product selection characterize the market for gift baskets. We are a start-up company without a base of operations and lacking an ability to generate sales. As such, our competitive position is unfavorable in the general marketplace. Unless we implement our planned operations and begin to generate revenues, we will not be able to maintain our operations.
Significantly, all of our current and potential traditional competitors have longer operating histories, larger customer or user bases, greater brand recognition and significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources than we do. Our competitors may be able to secure products from vendors on terms that are more favorable, fulfill customer orders more efficiently and adopt more aggressive pricing or inventory availability policies than we can. Traditional store-based retailers also enable customers to see and feel products in a manner that is not possible over the Internet. Many of these current and potential competitors can devote substantially more resources to Web site and systems development than we can. In addition, larger, more well-established and financed entities may acquire, invest in or form joint ventures with online competitors or gift basket companies as the use of the Internet and other online services increases.
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 are currently in the development stage. During the development stage, we plan to rely exclusively on the services of Stephanie Jones, President and director, and Matthew Jones, our Secretary, Treasurer and director, to set up our business operations. Both Mr. and Mrs. Jones currently work for us on a part-time basis and each expect to devote approximately 10-20 hours per week to our business, or as needed. There are no other full- or part-time employees. We believe that our operations are currently on a small scale that is manageable by these individuals.

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 Stephanie Jones, our President and director, and Matthew Jones, our Secretary, Treasurer and director. Neither Mr. nor Mrs. Jones 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. Jones are involved in other business opportunities and may face a conflict in selecting between Excaliber 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. Jones 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.
Excaliber Enterprises, Ltd. was formed in October 2005. 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. Excaliber Enterprises cannot guarantee that we will be successful in executing our proposed gift basket business and accomplishing our objectives. To date, we have not generated any revenues and may incur losses in 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 this report. 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 Excaliber Enterprises control the majority of our issued and outstanding common stock.
Stephanie Jones, an executive officer, employee and director, beneficially owns 85% of our issued and outstanding common stock. As a result of such ownership, investors 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 which 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.
6
Excaliber Enterprises 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 gift baskets 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, Excaliber Enterprises may fail to implement its business model profitably.
The market for customers is intensely competitive and such competition is expected to continue to increase. We expect to compete with many online and physical companies specialized in selling gift products, such as Harry and David and Wine Country Gifts. 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 pre-designed specialty gift baskets via the Internet 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.
Failure by us to respond to changes in consumer preferences could result in lack of sales revenues and may force us out of business.
Any change in the preferences of our potential customers, or in the gift products industry in general, that we fail to anticipate and adapt to could reduce the demand for our proposed specialty gift baskets that we intend to sell. Decisions about our focus and the specific products we plan to offer will often be made in advance of entering the marketplace. Failure to anticipate and respond to changes in consumer preferences and demands could lead to, among other things, customer dissatisfaction, failure to attract demand for our proposed products and lower profit margins.
We may be unable to obtain sufficient quantities of quality merchandise on acceptable commercial terms because we do not have long-term distribution and manufacturing agreements.
We have not yet commenced our planned business of selling pre-designed specialty gift baskets via the Internet 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.
7
Our revenue and gross margin could suffer if we fail to manage our inventory properly.
Our business depends on our ability to anticipate our needs for our as yet unidentified products and suppliers’ ability to deliver sufficient quantities of products at reasonable prices on a timely basis. Given that we are in the development stage, we may be unable to accurately anticipate demand and manage inventory levels that could seriously harm us. If predicted demand is substantially greater than consumer purchases, there will be excess inventory. In order to secure inventory, we may make advance payments to suppliers, or we may enter into non-cancelable commitments with vendors. If we fail to anticipate customer demand properly, a temporary oversupply could result in excess or obsolete inventory, which could adversely affect our gross margin.
Excaliber Enterprises may lose its top management without employment agreements.
Our operations depend substantially on the skills and experience of Stephanie Jones, our President and director, and Matthew Jones, 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 of our officers and directors are involved in other business opportunities and may face a conflict in selecting between our company and their other business interests. In the future, either Mr. or Mrs. Jones may also become involved in other business opportunities. We have not formulated a policy for the resolution of such conflicts. If we lose either or both of Mr. or Mrs. Jones 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.
We are 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;
|
8
|
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.
|
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.

PART II
MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS MARKET INFORMATION FOR COMMON STOCK
Market information
There is no established public trading market for our securities and a regular trading market may not develop, or if developed, may not be sustained. A shareholder in all likelihood, therefore, will not be able to resell his or her securities should he or she desire to do so when eligible for public resale. Furthermore, it is unlikely that a lending institution will accept our securities as pledged collateral for loans unless a regular trading market develops. We have no plans, proposals, arrangements or understandings with any person with regard to the development of a trading market in any of our securities.
Holders
As of the date of this prospectus, Excaliber Enterprises, Ltd. has 5,848,707 shares of $0.001 par value common stock issued and outstanding held by 24 shareholders of record. Our Transfer Agent is Holliday Stock Transfer, Inc., 2939 N. 67th Place, Suite C, Scottsdale, Arizona 85251, phone (480) 481-3940.
Dividends
Excaliber Enterprises, Ltd. has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its common stock. For the foreseeable future, Excaliber Enterprises 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 Excaliber Enterprises’ 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
In June 2006, we issued 5,000,000 shares of our common stock to Stephanie Jones, our founding shareholder and an officer and director. This sale of stock did not involve any public offering, general advertising or solicitation. The shares were issued in exchange for services performed by the founding shareholder on our behalf in the amount of $5,000. Mrs. Jones received compensation in the form of common stock for performing services related to the formation and organization of our Company, including, but not limited to, designing and implementing a business plan and providing administrative office space for use by the Company; thus, these shares are considered to have been provided as founder’s shares. Additionally, the services are considered to have been donated, and have resultantly been expensed and recorded as a contribution to capital. At the time of the issuance, Mrs. Jones had fair access to and was in possession of all available material information about our company, as she is an officer and director of Excaliber Enterprises, Ltd. The shares bear a restrictive transfer legend. Based on these facts, we claim that the issuance of stock to our founding shareholder qualifies for the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
On September 25, 2006, we sold 100,000 shares of our common stock to Nicole Jones, sister of Matthew Jones and sister-in-law of Stephanie Jones, officers and directors of the company. The shares were issued at a price of $0.05 per share for total cash in the amount of $5,000. This September 2006 transaction involved no general solicitation and the shares bear a restrictive transfer legend. Ms. Nicole Jones was provided fair access to our corporate books and records and was given the opportunity to ask questions of us. Based on these facts, we claim that the issuance of stock to Ms. Nicole Jones qualifies for the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.

Management’s Discussion and Results of Operations
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on October 6, 2005. Since our inception on October 6, 2005 to December 31, 2009, we did not generate any revenues and have incurred various general and administrative costs related to the costs of start-up operations and the execution of our business. In prior periods, the state of the economy has impeded our ability to develop our operations. However, during the third quarter of 2009, our officers and directors received informal interest in our gift baskets from prior personal contacts. As a result, we have attempted to restructure our operational approach, infrastructure and financing requirements, as discussed herein.
Operating Expenses
During the year ended December 31, 2010, total expenses were $8,946, consisting of depreciation expense of $428, related specifically to our computer equipment, executive compensation of $128 and general and administrative costs in the amount of $8,390. General and administrative expense was comprised primarily of $1,389 in professional fees and $6,825 in accounting fees. In the comparable year ended December 31, 2009, expenses were $21,968, of which $428 was attributable to depreciation expense and $21,540 in general and administrative expenses. During this period, general and administrative expenses included $16,345 in professional fees and $5,000 in accounting fees.
Since our inception, we have incurred aggregate operating expenses in the amount of $57,515, of which $892 is due to depreciation expense, $5,128 in executive compensation and general and administrative expenses in the amount of $51,495. 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.
Provision of Income Taxes
Although we are incorporated in the State of Nevada, we do business in the State of Idaho, which charges a minimum tax payable for $30. In the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, we recorded a provision for income taxes of $30 and $30, respectively. Since our inception to December 31, 2010, we recorded total provisions for income taxes of $120.
Net Loss
As a result of our lack of revenues and incurring ongoing expenses related to the implementation of our business, we have experienced net losses in all periods since our inception. In the year ended December 31, 2010, our net loss totaled $8,976, compared to a net loss of $21,998 in the year ended December 31, 2009. Since our inception, we have accumulated a deficit in the amount of $57,635.

Liquidity
Our management believes that our cash on hand as of December 31, 2010 in the amount of $1,808 is not sufficient to maintain our current minimal level of operations and to execute our planned objectives for the next approximately 12 months. As of December 31, 2010, we owed $2,670 in accounts payable to vendors and service providers. Additionally, we have notes payable of $530, of which $500 is owed to a related party and $30 to a non-related third party entity. Both notes bear no interest and are due on demand. We may be unable to satisfy any of our financial obligations. Our ability to fund our operating expenses are in doubt, and we cannot guarantee that we will be able to satisfy such. As a result, our independent auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern in the independent auditors’ report to the financial statements included in our 10-K. If our business fails, our investors may face a complete loss of their investment.
Plan of Operation
Our officers and directors have received inquiries about our products and services. Our management believes that, while inquiries do not directly equal sales, these are signs of a resurgent market for corporate and personal gifts and could potentially lead to sales. Our management attributes this resurrected interest to the recovery of the stock market and various segments of the economy stabilizing. For instance, the real estate activity has shown a pickup in activity and an easing of price declines. Our management believes this turn around in the general business climate has led to a slight recovery in discretionary spending, as well as an availability of investment capital and business credit.
We are currently evaluating our options to raise capital to finance our business strategy. We estimate that we require at least $30,000 in funds to execute the following steps:
Improve our website: We have a website located at www.ExcaliberStore.com to serve as our primary method of attracting customers and generating sales. The website is merely functional without e-commerce capability at this time. We are in the process of improving our website through adding e-commerce functionality and improving the user interface. There are options we are evaluating in terms of software for and outsourcing the processing of payments. We have budgeted up to $10,000 to the redesign of our site and for the purchase of software.
We are also contemplating creating accounts with websites that already have e-commerce functionality enabled, whereby we would pay either a nominal fee or commission for sales and payment processing. This option would allow us to conserve capital in that: (a) we would not have to hire a web developer to redesign the site; (b) we would not have to purchase special software; and (c) we would not have to set-up a merchant account.
Implement marketing and advertising: Once we determine our approach to e-commerce, we will implement a web advertising campaign using services provided by Google, Bing and Yahoo. The amount we budget to undertake web advertising activities will depend substantially upon whether we invest in developing an e-commerce website or enter into partnerships with other websites. At this time, we anticipate requiring up to $20,000 pursuing a web advertising program.
In addition to web marketing, we also plan to take a direct sales approach, whereby our officers will attempt to generate interest and awareness of our brand. Direct sales is not expected to require a material outlay of funds, other than for business cards, brochures and other print materials. As such, we have allotted up to $2,000 to use for direct sales materials.
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 and directors appear sufficient at this time. Our officers and directors 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.
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.
12
We currently do not have any material contracts and or affiliations with third parties.
There are no known trends, events or uncertainties that have had or that are reasonably expected to have a material impact on our revenues from continuing operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Excaliber Enterprises, Ltd. (A Development Stage Company) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the period of October 6, 2005 (Inception) to December 31, 2010. Excaliber Enterprises, Ltd.’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
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. Our audit of the financial statements 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, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides 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 Excaliber Enterprises, Ltd. as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the results of its operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended and the period of October 6, 2005 (Inception) to December 31, 2010 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 suffered recurring losses from operations and is dependent upon the continued sale of its securities or obtaining debt financing for funds to meet its cash requirements. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

(a Development Stage Company)
Notes to Financial Statements
Note 1 – History and organization of the company
The Company was organized October 6, 2005 (Date of Inception) under the laws of the State of Nevada, as Excalibur Enterprises, Ltd. The Company is authorized to issue up to 200,000,000 shares of its common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share.
The business of the Company is to sell specialty gift baskets to health care professionals, organizations and patients, and real estate agents and firms. The Company has limited operations and in accordance with FASB ASC 915-10, “Development Stage Entities,” 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
|
The Company maintains a cash balance in a non-interest-bearing account that currently does not exceed federally insured limits. 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, 2010 and 2009.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Expenditures for major additions and improvements are capitalized and minor replacements, maintenance, and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When property and equipment is retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations for the respective period. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method for financial statement purposes. The Company uses other depreciation methods (generally accelerated) for tax purposes where appropriate. The estimated useful lives for significant property and equipment categories are as follows:
Computer equipment 5 years
The Company reviews the carrying value of property and equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of assets. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, the manner in which the property is used, and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors. Based on this assessment there was no impairment as December 31, 2010. Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 totaled $428 and $428, respectively.
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenue and gains when earned and related costs of sales and expenses when incurred.
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, 2010 and 2009. 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. See note 9 for further details.

(a Development Stage Company)
Notes to Financial Statements
Advertising and marketing costs
The Company expenses all costs of advertising as incurred. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, there was $0 and $0 in advertising and marketing costs, respectively.
Loss per Common Share
Net loss per share is provided in accordance with ASC Subtopic 260-10. We present basic loss per share (“EPS”) and diluted EPS on the face of statements of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing reported losses by the weighted average shares outstanding. Except where the result would be anti-dilutive to income from continuing operations, diluted earnings per share has been computed assuming the conversion of the convertible long-term debt and the elimination of the related interest expense, and the exercise of stock warrants. Loss per common share has been computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the assumed conversion of convertible preferred shares and the exercise of stock warrants have not existed and thus are anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net losses and are excluded in determining diluted loss per share.
Income Taxes
The Company follows FASB Codification Topic 740-10-25 (ASC 740-10-25) 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.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company records stock based compensation in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 718 which requires the Company to recognize expense related to the fair value of its employee stock option awards. This eliminates accounting for share-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value and requires instead that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. The Company recognizes the cost of all share-based awards on a graded vesting basis over the vesting period of the award.
Dividends
|
The Company has not yet adopted any policy regarding payment of dividends. No dividends have been paid or declared since inception
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has evaluated the recent accounting pronouncements through ASU 2011-01 and believes that none of them will have a material effect on the company’s financial statements.
Year end
The Company has adopted December 31 as its fiscal year end.

Notes to Financial Statements
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 ($57,635) for the period from October 6, 2005 (inception) to December 31, 2010, and had no sales.
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 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, 2010 and 2009 consisted of the following:

During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded depreciation expense of $428 and $428, respectively.
Note 5 – Debt and interest expense
On January 22, 2008, the Company issued an aggregate of $500 in debt securities to a related party. The note bears no interest, is due on demand and contains no prepayment penalty.
On August 19, 2009, the Company entered into a Revolving Line of Credit Promissory Note with a non-related, third party entity for a total of $20,000. Any principal balance borrowed against the Note accrues interest at a rate of 10% per year. As of September 30, 2010, $0 has been borrowed on this line of credit. As of September 30, 2010, the Line of Credit has expired and has not been renewed.
On March 12, 2010, a non-related third-party entity loaned the Company $30. The loan bears no interest and is due upon demand.
Note 6 – Stockholders’ equity
The Company is authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of its $0.001 par value common stock.
During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, an officer and director of the Company donated cash in the amount of $8,100 and $1,500, respectively. All funds were donated, are not expected to be repaid and are considered to be additional paid-in capital.
As of December 31, 2010, there have been no other issuances of common stock.

Notes to Financial Statements
Note 7 – Warrants and options
As of December 31, 2010, there were no warrants or options outstanding to acquire any additional shares of common stock.
Note 8 – Related party transactions
Through December 31, 2010, an officer and director of the Company donated cash in the amount of $9,700. All funds were donated, are not expected to be repaid and are considered to be additional paid-in capital.
On August 7, 2010, the Company paid an officer and director $128 in executive compensation for services rendered.
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 – Fair Value Measurements
The Company adopted ASC Topic 820-10 at the beginning of 2009 to measure the fair value of certain of its financial assets required to be measured on a recurring basis. The adoption of ASC Topic 820-10 did not impact the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. ASC Topic 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). ASC Topic 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC Topic 820-10 are described below:
Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that an entity has the ability to access.
Level 2 – Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are supportable by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability.
The Company has no level 3 assets or liabilities.

Note 10 – Income Taxes
We are subject to United States income taxes. To date, we have accumulated losses of $57,635, and therefore have paid no income tax. We expect tax rates in the US to be approximately 34%.
Deferred income taxes arise from temporary timing differences in the recognition of income and expenses for financial reporting and tax purposes. Our deferred tax assets consist entirely of the benefit from net operating loss (“NOL”) carry-forwards. Our deferred tax assets are offset by a valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of the realization of the NOL carry-forwards. NOL carry-forwards may be further limited by a change our ownership and other provisions of the tax laws.
The provision for refundable Federal income tax, using an effective tax rate of thirty-four percent (34%), consists of the following for the years ended December 31,:

At December 31, 2010, we had an unused NOL carryover of approximating $57,635 that is available to offset future taxable income.
Note 11 – Subsequent Events
On February 24, 2011, an officer and director of the Company donated cash in the amount of $6,000. All funds were donated, are not expected to be repaid and are considered to be additional paid-in capital.
The Company’s Management has reviewed all other 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.

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 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 management’s performance of the evaluation of internal control over financial reporting identified a material weakness as defined in Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Standard No. 5 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 has taken all actions to ensure that the filing includes all required content and the financial statements presented conform to GAAP.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide only management's report in this annual report.
Management’s Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
To the Board of Directors of Excaliber Enterprises, Ltd.:
Management of Excaliber Enterprises, Ltd. (the “Company”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting 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 Company’s assets, (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U. S. 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 of timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Internal control over financial reporting includes the controls themselves, monitoring and internal auditing practices and actions taken to correct deficiencies as identified.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting, no matter how well designed, may not prevent or detect misstatements. Accordingly, even effective internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Also, the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting was made as of a specific date. 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.
26
Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in “Internal Control—Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Management’s assessment included an evaluation of the design of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting. Management reviewed the results of its assessment with the Company’s Board of Directors.
Based on this assessment, management determined that, as of December 31, 2010, the Company maintained ineffective internal control over financial reporting, as well as a material weakness. Currently we do not have sufficient in-house expertise in US GAAP reporting. Although we have not identified any material errors with our financial reporting, no assurances can be given that there are no such material errors existing. We are continuously seeking to recruit experienced professionals to augment and upgrade our financial staff to address issues of timeliness and completeness in US GAAP financial reporting. In addition, we do not believe we have sufficient documentation with our existing financial processes, risk assessment and internal controls. We plan to work closely with external financial advisors to document the existing financial processes, risk assessment and internal controls systematically.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Management’s Remediation Initiatives
In an effort to remediate the identified material weakness and enhance our internal controls, we plan to establish a formal audit committee of the Board of Directors. We are also seeking an at least one additional person to serve as an outside Director, as well as sit on the audit committee, thereby providing oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures such as reviewing and approving estimates and assumptions made by management when funds are available to us.
Changes in internal controls over financial reporting
There was no change 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.

Family Relationships

Involvement on Certain Material Legal Proceedings During the Last Five Years
No director, officer, significant employee or consultant has been convicted in a criminal proceeding, exclusive of traffic violations.
No bankruptcy petitions have been filed by or against any business or property of any director, officer, significant employee or consultant of the Company nor has any bankruptcy petition been filed against a partnership or business association where these persons were general partners or executive officers.

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.
28
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.
|
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: 13834 W. Hoyt Road, Rathdrum, Idaho.
