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 4 - Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

No matters were submitted to a vote of our security holders during the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2008.

PART II

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, noting that the over-the-counter quotations provided herein reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail markup, mark-down or commission and may not represent actual transactions.

Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Information

Certain statements contained in this annual filing, including, without limitation, statements containing the words "believes", "anticipates", "expects" and words of similar import, constitute forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company, or industry results, to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

Such factors include, among others, the following: international, national and local general economic and market conditions: demographic changes; the ability of the Company to sustain, manage or forecast its growth; the ability of the Company to successfully make and integrate acquisitions; existing government regulations and changes in, or the failure to comply with, government regulations; adverse publicity; competition; fluctuations and difficulty in forecasting operating results; changes in business strategy or development plans; business disruptions; the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; and other factors referenced in this and previous filings.

Given these uncertainties, readers of this Form 10-K and investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. The Company disclaims any obligation to update any such factors or to publicly announce the result of any revisions to any of the forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect future events or developments.

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.

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.

(5) 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.

Item 8 - Index to Financial Statements

The required financial statements begin on page F-1 of this document.

Item 9 - Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

None
 
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

5.      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 interest rates or foreign exchange rates and are fully dependent upon the volatility of these rates.  The company does not use derivative instruments to moderate its exposure to financial risk, if any.

Note H - Income Taxes - Continued

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) through December 31, 2008, respectively, differed from the statutory federal rate of 34 percent as follows:
