Forward Looking Information
 
This report contains statements about future events and expectations that are characterized as “forward-looking statements.”  Forward-looking statements are based upon management’s beliefs, assumptions, and expectations.  Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results, performance, and financial condition to be materially different from the expectations of future results, performance, and financial condition we express or imply in such forward-looking statements.  You are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements.  We disclaim any intent or obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
 
Item 1.01
Entry into Material Agreement.
 
On December 30, 2010, Sibling Entertainment Group Holdings, Inc., (the “Company” “we” or “Sibling”), entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement with Newco4Education, LLC (“N4E”) and the members of the Newco4Education, LLC (the “N4E Members”).  Pursuant to the Securities Exchange Agreement, we have acquired N4E in exchange for 8,839,869 shares of our newly authorized series common stock.  The terms of the series common stock are more fully described in Item 5.03 below.  Our acquisition of N4E resulted in a change of control of SIBE as more fully described in Item 5.01 below and our entry into the education management business as more fully described in Item 2.01 below.
 
Additionally, on December 29, 2010, we entered into a Loan Assignment Agreement with Sibling Theatricals, Inc. and Debt Resolution, LLC a newly formed subsidiary of the Company.  Pursuant to the Loan Assignment Agreement we assigned to Debt Resolution, LLC all of our entertainment and theatricals assets.  As more fully described in Item 2.01, we have exited the entertainment and theatricals business.
 
Furthermore, on December 30, 2010, we entered into Conversion Agreements with all but one of the 44 holders of our 13% Series AA Secured Convertible Debentures.  Pursuant to the Conversion Agreements, all but one of the 44 holders of our debentures converted their debentures into a total of 1,018,947 shares of a newly authorized series common stock and all of the limited liability company membership interests of Debt Resolution, LLC.  The Conversion Agreements released all claims that 43 of the holders of our debentures had, have, or might have against us.  The terms of the series common stock are more fully described in Item 5.03 below.
 
Item 2.01
Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
 
Exit from Entertainment and Theatricals Business.
 
Despite sustained efforts from 2007 through 2010 to expand our entertainment and theatricals business, we were unable to secure the funding necessary to complete projects we had the opportunity to complete.  As a result, we have elected to change our strategic direction and focus on the business initiatives described below.  In preparation for our new business endeavors, we transferred all of our entertainment and theatricals assets to Debt Resolution, LLC, a new limited liability company organized for the benefit of the holders of our Series AA debentures.  As a result, we have completely exited from the entertainment and theatricals business and resolved substantially all of the liabilities related to the entertainment and theatricals business by converting substantially all of our Series AA Debentures into series common stock as described in Item 1.01 above.  The acquisition of N4E was supported by, and an integral component of our settlement with, the debenture holders.

 
 

 
 
Acquisition of EMO Business Plan
 
As described in Item 1.01 above, on December 30, 2010, N4E became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, as a result of our acquisition of N4E from the N4E Members.  Our board of directors approved the Securities Exchange Agreement and the transactions contemplated under the Securities Exchange Agreement.
 
N4E was formed June 10, 2010, to leverage the business opportunities created from the growing popularity of charter schools and to improve educational opportunities for students across the United States through the development of innovative curricula, computer based education tools, and tools for improvement teacher performance.  N4E owns a business plan and methodologies to acquire educational management organizations and to manage and operate charter schools.  We intend to use the N4E business plan and methodologies as one component of our business strategy to grow a large scale business that will manage and operate charter schools and develop and license curricula, computer based education services, and school operation and management tools throughout the United States.  We have hired N4E’s management team to lead our efforts in this new initiative.
 
Overview of Charter Schools
 
Charter schools are primary, or secondary, schools that are part of the public education system and provide an alternative to other public schools.  Charter schools have the potential to facilitate education reforms and develop new and creative teaching methods that can be replicated in traditional public schools for the benefit of all children.  Charter schools receive public money but operate with freedom from many of the local and state regulations that apply to traditional public schools.  Charter schools allow parents, community leaders, educational entrepreneurs, and others the flexibility to innovate and provide students with increased educational options within the public school system.  Charter schools are sponsored by local, state, or other organizations that monitor their quality while holding them accountable for academic results and responsible fiscal practices.  Charter schools may hire their own staff, develop their own curriculum, and set their own educational programs and methods of operation, subject to the terms of their charter and subject to the oversight of a local school board and another sponsor.  Charter schools are not allowed to charge tuition and are funded like other public schools, usually on a per student basis, at levels that are generally comparable but may be less that other public schools in the same district.  Based on industry estimates, there are approximately, 5,400 charter schools in the United States serving over 1,700,000 students.
 
Charter Schools and EMOs
 
The charter for a charter school is generally awarded to a “not-for-profit” (NFP) entity which receives public funding.  The NFP may contract with a “for profit” education management organization (EMO) to operate the charter school.  The EMO generally charges fees of approximately 15% of gross pupil funding as allocated from the Board of Education or other public agency involved, of which 5% is the management fee for school operations, and 10% is attributable to curriculum, systems, and testing provided by the EMO.  In Georgia, for instance, the current allocation per student is $8,900, thus a 500 student school would have an annual budget of $4.45 million, of which approximately 15%, or $667,500 would be allocated to the EMO for management and curriculum.

 
 

 
 
Plan of Operation
 
We believe there is a significant opportunity to acquire existing educational management organizations (“EMOs”) and assume the operational and management responsibilities for existing charter schools.  We intend to utilize our access to capital markets to achieve capital efficiencies compared to our privately held competitors and to facilitate our acquisition of existing EMO operations.  Finally, we intend to develop curricula, computer based education services, and school operation and management tools that we will use and license to other EMOs, schools, and school systems.
 
Our ability to execute our business plan is dependent, among other things, on our ability to obtain capital, acquire other EMOs on terms that are favorable to us, hire and retain high quality, motivated teachers, administrators, and other staff, and cost effectively operate schools that are successful in meeting the requirements of their charters.
 
Competition
 
This is a highly fractured industry, and management believes it is ripe for consolidation. We have a limited number of direct competitors that have focused primarily or exclusively on operating charter schools. In the 2009/2010 school year there were over 5,100 charter schools in the US, most of which are single schools, or in a small group of schools.  The information in the table below was derived from www.nupolis.com and lists school operators with 8 or more schools under management.  We believe that some or all of these charter school operators may compete with us.

Government Regulation
 
Federal and State Education Programs
 
The charter schools we seek to manage will receive funds from federal and state programs to be used for specific educational purposes. If, on behalf of those schools, we fail to comply with the requirements of the various programs, we could be required to repay the funds and those schools could be determined ineligible for receipt of future federal funds.  We intend to develop and implement policies and procedures that are intended to comply with the regulations and requirements of these programs.  For example, Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 supports educationally disadvantaged children in areas of high poverty, Title II, Part A, provides funding for the professional development of teachers, Title II, Part D, provides funding for technology programs, Title VII, provides funding for bilingual education programs, Title V, provides funding for innovative education programs, and the Public Charter School Program, provides start-up funding for charter schools.  Although we contemplate that we will receive federal and state funds indirectly through local school boards and charter boards, our receipt of these funds will likely subject us to extensive governmental regulation and scrutiny.  We could lose all or part of the funds we intend to receive if we fail to comply with applicable statutes or regulations, if the federal or state authorities reduce the funding for the programs, or if the charter schools we intend to manage are determined to be ineligible to receive funds under such programs.  To the extent that the laws and regulations governing federal and state programs change or are interpreted in a manner that would prevent charter schools from using federal funds to pay for the services we intend to provide, the loss of all or part of these funds would hurt our business.

 
 

 
 
No Child Left Behind Act.  (“NCLB”)
 
This act is the 2001 reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965. It contains numerous requirements pertaining to the receipt of a range of federal funds, including Title I. Two significant requirements of NCLB are standards pertaining to teacher qualifications and the requirement that schools make adequate yearly progress ("AYP") toward state standards for students.  The AYP requirements must be met not only by the aggregate school population, but also by ethnic/racial subgroups, students with disabilities, and English language learners.  Schools that fail to make AYP toward meeting state standards may lose some of their student enrollment due to school choice provisions, may be required to allocate a portion of their Title I funding toward the provision of supplemental services to some students, and may be subject to state takeover or other forms of district or state intervention.  Failure to meet teacher qualification and related standards may result in the loss of NCLB funds at the school or district that failed to meet the Act's requirements.
 
Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act
 
This act requires that students with qualified disabilities receive an appropriate education through special education and related services provided in a manner reasonably calculated to enable the child to receive educational benefit in the least restrictive environment. Our responsibility to provide the potentially extensive services required by this act varies depending on state law, type of school, and the terms of management agreements that we intend to enter into with charter schools.  We would be generally responsible for ensuring the requirements of this act are met in the charter schools we intend to manage, unless state law assigns that responsibility to another entity.  If we were to be found in violation of this act in one of the charter schools we intend to manage, we may incur costs relating to the provision of compensatory education services, and may be liable for reasonable attorney fees incurred by the families of individual students with disabilities.
 
Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act
 
The charter schools we intend to manage may be subject to the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, which protects the privacy of a student's educational record, and generally prohibits a school from disclosing a student's records to a third party without the prior consent of his or her parents. The law also gives parents certain rights with respect to their minor children's education records. The failure of the charter schools we intend to manage to comply with this law may result in termination of their eligibility to receive federal education funds.
 
Gun-Free Schools Act
 
The Gun-Free Schools Act, which became effective in 1994, requires the charter schools we intend to manage to effect certain policies, assurances and reports regarding the discipline of students who bring weapons to our schools.  If those schools violate any of these requirements, they may be deemed ineligible to receive certain Federal education funds.
 
Federal Civil Rights Laws
 
The charter schools we intend to manage must comply with federal civil rights laws or those schools could be determined ineligible to receive funds from federal programs or face criminal or civil penalties. These laws include the following:
 
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.  Title VI prohibits recipients of federal financial assistance from discriminating on the basis of race, color, or national origin.
 
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972.  Title IX prohibits discrimination on the basis of gender by recipients of federal financial assistance.

 
 

 
 
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.  Section 504 prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability by recipients of federal financial assistance.
 
Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.  This act prohibits discrimination in employment against a qualified individual with a disability and requires that buildings, facilities, and vehicles associated with public services be accessible to individuals with disabilities.
 
Age Discrimination Act of 1975.  This act prohibits recipients of federal financial assistance from discriminating on the basis of age.
 
Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967.  This act prohibits discrimination on the basis of age in employment.
 
Equal Pay Act of 1963.  This act prohibits discrimination on the basis of gender in the payment of wages.
 
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.  Title VII prohibits discrimination on the basis of gender in employment.
 
Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988.  The Drug-Free Workplace Act requires a recipient of federal funds to certify that it provides a drug-free workplace. If we were to violate the certification and reporting requirements of this act, then we could be determined ineligible to receive federal funds.
 
State Regulations
 
We are also subject to state statutory and regulatory requirements in the states in which we operate. All states have standards for the operation of schools concerning, for example, the length of the school year, curriculum, hours of the school day, physical education and other areas. We could be in violation of the management agreements we intend to enter into with charter boards or school districts if we were to fail to comply with these standards.
 
Legal Proceeding
 
To the best of our knowledge, we are not a party to any material pending legal proceeding.
 
Properties
 
We currently rent office space in Atlanta, GA on a month to month basis, we expect the rent to range from $1,000 to $2,500.00 per month and will increase as our needs and the size of organization grow.
 
Foundation for Innovation in Education, Inc
 
Foundation for Innovation in Education, Inc., is a Georgia non-profit corporation that was an N4E member and, as a result of our acquisition of N4E, holds approximately 37% of our series common stock.  Foundation for Innovation in Education has informed us that over time it intends to acquire other NFPs that hold the charters to charter schools, and may start charter schools itself, as well as develop certain programs aimed at improving the learning ability of certain segments of the student population.  Foundation for Innovation in Education may, but has no obligation or arrangement with us to, hire us to be the EMO for charter schools that it starts and acquires.  Foundation for Innovation in Education intends to engage in research and other activities to advance the state education in America.

 
 

 
 
Risk Factors
 
We Are Entering A New Business; This Makes It Difficult To Evaluate Our Business
 
We have yet to enter into any agreement to acquire an EMO or manage a charter school.  We have not recorded any revenue from our new business initiatives.  Our management team has only recently begun to work together, and has no experience in operating educational management organizations and charter schools.  We have no operating history on which you can base your evaluation of our business and prospects.  Accordingly, the Company should be evaluated in light of the expenses, delays, uncertainties, and other difficulties frequently encountered by unseasoned business enterprises entering new markets with unproven products.  No assurance can be given that the Company will ever achieve profitable operations.  Our failure to address these expenses, delays, uncertainties, and other difficulties could cause our operating results to suffer and result in the loss of all or part of your investment.
 
We Have A History Of Losses And Expect Losses In The Future
 
The Company has incurred losses since inception.  We do not currently own, operate, or have agreements to acquire any school operations and therefore have no revenues.  As a result, we expect to incur substantial net losses for the foreseeable future.  Our ability to become profitable will depend upon our ability to generate and sustain revenue that is greater than our expenses.  In order to generate revenue, we will need to enter into management agreements with charter schools, acquire other EMOs, and successfully acquire or develop and license curricula, computer based education services, and school operation and management tools.  Our ability to generate revenue will be dependent, in part, on our ability to obtain financing sufficient to execute our business plan.  Even if we do achieve profitability, we may not sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis.  Failure to become and remain profitable may adversely affect the market price of our common stock, our ability to raise capital, and our ability to continue operations.
 
The Private, For-Profit Management Of Charter Schools Is A Relatively New And Uncertain Industry, And It May Not Become Publicly Accepted
 
Our future is highly dependent upon the development, acceptance, and expansion of the market for private, for-profit management of charter schools. This market has only recently developed. The development of this market has been accompanied by significant press coverage and public debate concerning for-profit management of charter schools.  If this business model fails to gain acceptance among the general public, educators, politicians and school boards, we may be unable to grow our business and the market price of our common stock would be adversely affected.

 
 

 
 
The Success Of Our Business Depends On Our Ability To Improve The Academic Achievement Of The Students Enrolled In Our Schools, And We May Face Difficulties In Doing So In The Future
 
We believe that the success of our business will be dependent, among other things, upon our ability to demonstrate general improvements in academic performance at the charter schools we intend to manage and operate.  We anticipate that the management agreements with charter schools will contain performance requirements related to test scores and other measures of student achievement.  If average student performance at our schools increases, whether due to improvements in achievement over time by individual students in our schools or changes in the average performance levels of new students entering our schools, aggregate absolute improvements in student performance will be more difficult to achieve.  If academic performance at our schools declines, or simply fails to improve, we could lose business and our reputation could be seriously damaged, which would impair our ability to gain new business or renew existing school management agreements.
 
We Could Incur Losses At Our Schools If We Are Unable To Enroll Enough Students
 
We expect that the amount of revenue we will receive for operating a charter school will be dependent on the number of students enrolled, while the majority of the facility, operating, and on-site administrative costs will be fixed.  Therefore, achieving site-specific enrollment objectives will be an important factor in our ability to achieve satisfactory financial performance at any particular school.  We may be unable to expand or maintain enrollment in the charter schools we manage.  To the extent we are unable to meet enrollment objectives at a school, the school will be less financially successful and our financial performance will be adversely affected.
 
We Desire Rapid Growth, Which May Strain Our Resources And May Not Be Sustainable
 
We desire to grow rapidly.  Rapid growth may strain our managerial, operational, and other resources.  If we are to manage our rapid growth successfully, we will need to hire and retain management personnel and other employees. We must also develop and improve our operational systems, procedures, and controls on a timely basis.  If we fail to successfully manage our growth, we could experience client dissatisfaction, cost inefficiencies and lost growth opportunities, which could harm our operating results. We cannot guarantee that we will continue to grow at our historical rate.
 
We May Not Be Able To Attract And Retain Highly Skilled Principals And Teachers In The Numbers Required To Grow Our Business
 
Once we have acquired EMOs with management agreements with charter schools or entered into management agreements with charter schools, our success is likely to depend to a high degree upon our ability to attract and retain highly skilled school principals and teachers.  We may need to hire new principals and new teachers to meet address turnover at the charter schools we manage.  Currently, there is a well-publicized nationwide shortage of teachers and other educators in the United States. In addition, we may find it difficult to attract and retain principals and teachers for a variety of reasons, including the following:
 
 
·
charter schools generally require our teachers to work a longer day and a longer year than most public schools;
 
 
·
charter schools tend to have a larger proportion of our schools in challenging locations, such as low-income urban areas, which may make attracting principals and teachers more difficult; and
 
 
·
charter schools generally impose more accountability on principals and teachers than do public schools as a whole.
 
These factors may increase the challenge we face in an already difficult market for attracting principals and teachers.  Other EMO’s have experienced higher levels of turnover among teachers than is generally found in public schools nationally, which we attribute in part to these factors.  If we fail to attract and retain principals and teachers in sufficient numbers or of a sufficient quality, we could experience client dissatisfaction and lost growth opportunities, which would adversely affect our business.

 
 

 
 
Our Business Could Suffer If We Lose The Services Of Key Executives
 
Our future success depends upon the continued services of a number of our key executive personnel, particularly our Chairman of the Board of Directors, our Chief Executive Officer, or Chief Financial Officer. These executives will be instrumental in determining our strategic direction and focus and in publicly promoting the concept of private management of public schools. If we lose the services of either or any of our other executive officers or key employees, our ability to grow our business would be seriously compromised and the market price of our common stock may be adversely affected.  We do not maintain any key man insurance on any of our executives.
 
Our Management Agreements Will Be Terminable Under Specified Circumstances And Generally Expire After A Term Of Five Years
 
We expect that our school management agreements will generally have a term of five years. When we expand by adding an additional school under an existing management agreement, the term with respect to that school generally expires at the end of the initial five-year period. We have no experience in negotiating school management agreements, and we cannot be assured that any school management agreements will be negotiated or renewed. In addition, school management agreements may be terminable by the school district or charter board at will, with or without good reason, and our school management agreements may be terminated for cause, including a failure to meet specified educational standards, such as academic performance based on standardized test scores.  In addition, as a result of changes within a school district, such as changes in the political climate, we could from time to time face pressure to permit a school district or charter board to terminate our school management agreement even if they do not have a legal right to do so.  If we fail to renew a significant number of school management agreements at the end of their term, or if school management agreements are terminated prior to their expiration, our reputation and financial results would be adversely affected.
 
Our Management Agreements Will Involve Financial Risk
 
Our school management agreements will provide that we will operate a school in return for per- pupil funding that generally does not vary with our actual costs.  To the extent our actual costs under a school management agreement exceed our budgeted costs, or our actual revenue is less than planned because we are unable to enroll as many students as we anticipated or for any other reason, we would lose money at that school.  We expect that our school management agreements will require us to continue operating a school for the duration of the school management agreement even if it becomes unprofitable to do so.
 
We May Need To Advance Or Loan Money To Charter Schools Or Their Related Charter Holding Equity That May Not Be Repaid
 
We may have to loan charter boards funds to finance the purchase or renovation of school facilities we manage or for other reasons.  Loans to charter schools may be accelerated upon termination of the corresponding management agreement with the charter school.  If these advances or loans are not repaid when due, our financial results could be adversely affected.

 
 

 
 
We Could Become Liable For Financial Obligations Of Charter Boards
 
We could have facility financing obligations for charter schools we no longer operate, because the terms of our facility financing obligations for some charter schools might exceed the term of the management agreement for those schools. While the charter board is generally responsible for locating and financing its own school building, the holders of school charters, which are often non-profit organizations, typically do not have the resources required to obtain the financing necessary to secure and maintain the school building. For this reason, if we want to obtain a management agreement with a particular charter board, we may help the charter board arrange for the necessary financing.  For some of the charter schools we expect to manage, we may enter into a long-term lease for the school facility which may exceed the initial term of the management agreement. If our management agreements were to be terminated, or not renewed in these charter schools, our obligations to make lease payments would continue, which could adversely affect our financial results for the school building, typically in the form of loan guarantees or cash advances. Although the term of these arrangements may be coterminous with the term of the corresponding management agreement, our guarantee may not expire until the loan is repaid in full. The lenders under these facilities may not be committed to release us from our obligations unless replacement credit support is provided. The default by any charter school under a credit facility that we have guaranteed could result in a claim against us for the full amount of the borrowings. Furthermore, in the event any charter board becomes insolvent or has its charter revoked, our loans and advances to the charter board may not be recoverable, which could adversely affect our financial results.
 
We Expect Our Market To Become More Competitive
 
We expect the market for providing private, for-profit management of charter schools will become increasingly competitive. A variety of companies and entities could enter the market, including colleges and universities, other private companies that operate higher education or professional education schools, and others.  Our existing competitors and these new market entrants could have financial, marketing and other resources significantly greater than ours. We will also compete for charter school funding with existing public schools that may pursue alternative reform initiatives, such as magnet schools and inter- district choice programs. In addition, in jurisdictions where voucher programs have been authorized, we will compete with existing private schools for public tuition funds. Voucher programs provide for the issuance by local or other governmental bodies of tuition vouchers to parents worth a certain amount of money that they can redeem at any approved school of their choice, including private schools. If we are unable to compete successfully against any of these existing or potential competitors, our revenues could be reduced, resulting in increased losses.
 
Failure To Raise Necessary Additional Capital Could Restrict Our Growth And Hinder Our Ability To Compete
 
We are not certain when we will have positive cash flow, if at all.  We expect that we will regularly need to raise funds in order to operate our business and may need to raise additional funds in the future. We cannot be certain that we will be able to obtain additional financing on favorable terms, if at all. If we issue additional equity securities, stockholders may experience dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of common stock. If we cannot raise funds on acceptable terms, if and when needed, we may not be able to take advantage of future opportunities, grow our business or respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated requirements, which could seriously harm our business.

 
 

 
 
We Expect To Derive A Substantial Portion Of Our Revenues From Public School Funding, Which Is Dependent On Support From Federal, State, And Local Governments. Changes Or Reductions In Funding For Public School Systems Could Reduce Our Revenues And Cash Flows And Negatively Impact Our Margins And Impede The Growth Of Our Business.
 
The availability of funding to purchase our products and services is subject to many factors that affect government spending. These factors include downturns in general economic conditions, like those which we are currently experiencing, that can reduce government tax revenues and may affect education funding, emergence of other priorities that can divert government funding from educational objectives, periodic changes in government leadership that can change spending priorities, and the government appropriations process, which is often slow and unpredictable. In many instances, customers rely on specific funding appropriations to purchase our products. Curtailments, delays, or reductions in this funding can delay or reduce revenues and cash flow we had otherwise forecasted to receive.
 
If We Are Unable To Adapt Our Products And Services To Technological Changes, To The Emergence Of New Computing Devices And To More Sophisticated Online Services, We May Lose Market Share And Service Revenue, And Our Business Could Suffer.
 
We need to anticipate, develop and introduce new products, services and applications on a timely and cost effective basis that keeps pace with technological developments and changing customer needs. We may encounter difficulties responding to these changes that could delay our introduction of products and services or require us to make larger than anticipated investments to maintain existing products. Software industries are characterized by rapid technological change and obsolescence, frequent product introductions, and evolving industry standards.  Accordingly, it is difficult to predict the problems we may encounter in developing versions of our products and services and we may need to devote significant resources to the creation, support and maintenance of our products and services. If we fail to develop or sell products and services cost effectively that respond to these or other technological developments and changing customer needs, we may be unable to successfully market our products and services and our revenue and business could materially suffer.
 
Misuse Or Misappropriation Of Our Proprietary Rights Or Inadvertent Infringement By Us On The Rights Of Others Could Adversely Affect Our Results Of Operations.
 
The intellectual property rights in the software we intend to develop will be essential to our business. We intend to rely on a combination of the laws of copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets, as well as license agreements, employment and employment termination agreements, third-party non-disclosure agreements, and other methods to protect our proprietary rights. We intend to enforce our intellectual property rights when we become aware of any infringements or potential infringements and believe they warrant such action. If we were unsuccessful in our ability to protect these rights, our operating results could be adversely affected.
 
Third parties may assert infringement claims against us in the future. We may be required to modify our products, services or technologies or obtain a license to permit our continued use of those rights. We may not be able to do so in a timely manner or upon reasonable terms and conditions. Failure to do so could harm our business and operating results. In addition, we leverage certain third party generated products through license and/or royalty agreements and we have the risk that certain of these relationships will not continue or that the underlying products will not be properly supported or updated by the third parties.

 
 

 
 
If Our Security Measures Are Breached And Unauthorized Access Is Obtained To Our Web-Based Products, They May Be Perceived As Not Being Secure, Customers May Curtail Or Stop Using These Products And We May Incur Significant Legal And Financial Exposure And Liabilities.
 
We may develop web-based products that involve the storage of certain personal information with regard to the teachers and students using these products. If our security measures are breached and unauthorized access to this information occurs, our reputation will be damaged, our business may suffer, and we could incur significant liability.  Because the techniques used to attempt unauthorized access to such systems change frequently and generally are not recognized until attempted on a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures. If an actual or perceived breach of our security occurs, the market perception of the security of our system could be harmed and we could lose sales and customers.
 
Claims Relating To Content Available On Or Accessible From, Our Web Sites May Subject Us To Liabilities And Additional Expense.
 
If we develop web-based products that incorporate content not under our direct control including content from, and links to, third-party web sites, and content uploaded by our customers, we could be subject to claims relating to this content.  In addition to exposing us to potential liability, claims of this type could require us to change our web sites in a manner that could be less attractive to our customers and divert our financial and development resources.
 
We Rely On Government Funds For Specific Education Programs, And Our Business Could Suffer If We Fail To Comply With Rules Concerning The Receipt And Use Of The Funds
 
We expect to benefit from funds from federal and state programs to be used for specific educational purposes. Funding from the federal government under Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act provides federal funds for children from low-income families. A number of factors relating to these government programs could lead to adverse effects on our business:
 
 
·
These programs have strict requirements as to eligible students and allowable activities. If we or the charter schools that we intend to manage fail to comply with the regulations governing the programs, we or the charter schools that we intend to manage could be required to repay the funds or be determined ineligible to receive these funds, which would harm our business.
 
 
·
If the income demographics of a district's population were to change over the life of a management agreement for a charter school, resulting in a decrease in Title I funding for the charter school, we would receive less revenue for operating the charter school and our financial results could suffer.
 
 
·
Funding from federal and state education programs is allocated through formulas. If federal or state legislatures or, in some case, agencies were to change the formulas, we could receive less funding and the growth and financial performance of our business would suffer.
 
 
·
Federal, state and local education programs are subject to annual appropriations of funds. Federal or state legislatures or local officials could drastically reduce the funding amount of appropriation for any program, which would hurt our business and our ability to grow.

 
 

 
 
 
·
The authorization for the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, including Title I, has expired and this act is being funded by Congress on an interim appropriation basis. If Congress does not reauthorize or continue to provide interim appropriation for the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, we would receive less funding and our growth and financial results would suffer.
 
Most federal education funds are administered through state and local education agencies, which allot funds to charter boards. These state and local education agencies are subject to extensive government regulation concerning their eligibility for federal funds. If these agencies were declared ineligible to receive federal education funds, the receipt of federal education funds by the charter schools we intend to manage could be delayed, which could in turn delay our payment from the charter schools we intend to manage.  In addition, we could become ineligible to receive these funds if any of our high-ranking employees commit serious crimes.
 
We Could Be Subject To Extensive Government Regulation Because We Benefit From Federal Funds, And Our Failure To Comply With Government Regulations Could Result In The Reduction Or Loss Of Federal Education Funds
 
Because we expect to benefit from federal funds, we must also comply with a variety of federal laws and regulations not directly related to any federal education program, such as federal civil rights laws and laws relating to lobbying. Our failure to comply with these federal laws and regulations could result in the reduction or loss of federal education funds which would cause our business to suffer. In addition, our management agreements are potentially covered by federal procurement rules and regulations because our school district and charter board clients pay us, in part, with funds received from federal programs. Federal procurement rules and regulations generally require competitive bidding, awarding contracts based on lowest cost and similar requirements. If a court or federal agency determined that a management agreement was covered by federal procurement rules and regulations and was awarded without compliance with those rules and regulations, then the management agreement could be voided and we could be required to repay any federal funds we received under the management agreement, which would hurt our business.
 
We Expect To Receive All Of Our Revenue From Public Sources And Any Reduction In General Funding Levels For Education Could Hurt Our Business
 
We expect that all of our revenue will be derived from public sources. If general levels of funding for public education were to decline, the field of school districts in which we could profitably operate schools would likewise diminish, and our ability to grow by adding new schools would suffer. In addition, our management agreements generally provide that we bear the risk of lower levels of per-pupil funding, which would be directly reflected in lower revenue to us, even if our costs do not decline accordingly.
 
Restrictions On Government Funding Of For-Profit School Management Companies Could Hurt Our Business
 
Any restriction on the use of federal or state government educational funds by for-profit companies could hurt our business and our ability to grow. From time to time, a variety of proposals have been introduced in state legislatures to restrict or prohibit the management of public schools by private, for-profit entities like us. If states were to adopt legislation prohibiting for-profit entities from operating public schools, the market for our services could suffer.

 
 

 
 
The Operation Of Charter Schools Will Depend On The Maintenance Of The Underlying Charter Grants
 
The charter schools we intend to manage will operate under a charter that is typically granted by a state authority to a third-party charter holder, such as a community group or non-profit organization.  Our management agreement in turn will be with the charter holder, or the charter board.  If the state charter authority were to revoke the charter, which could occur based on actions of the charter board outside of our control; we would lose the right to operate that school.  In addition, many state charter school statutes require periodic reauthorization. If state charter school legislation were not reauthorized or were substantially altered in a meaningful number of states, our business and growth strategy would suffer and we could incur losses.
 
Our Stock Price Will Be Volatile And We Expect It To Continue To Be Volatile In The Future
 
The market price of our common stock has fluctuated over a wide range and we expect it to continue to do so in the future.  The market price of our common stock may be volatile in response to the risks discussed above, as well as other factors, some of which are beyond our control. These other factors include:
 
 
·
Variations in our quarterly operating results;
 
 
·
Changes in securities analysts' estimates of our financial performance; Changes in the public perception of our schools' academic performance; Termination or non-renewal of existing management agreements; Changes in market valuations of similar companies;
 
 
·
Speculation in the press or investment community; Actions by institutional shareholders;
 
 
·
Pending and potential litigation;
 
 
·
Future sales of our common stock or other securities; and
 
 
·
General stock market volatility.

"Beneficial ownership" generally means any person who, directly or indirectly, has or shares voting or investment power with respect to a security or has the right to acquire such power within 60 days.  Shares of common stock subject to options or warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of December 30, 2010 are deemed outstanding for computing the ownership percentage of the person holding such options, but are not deemed outstanding for computing the ownership percentage of any other person.  Restricted stock is included in the beneficial ownership amounts even though it may not be transferred.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
 
Pursuant to the Securities Exchange Agreement, on December 30, 2010, the N4E Members acquired 8,839,869 shares of Sibling series common stock. 
 
Additionally, pursuant to the Conversion Agreements, 43 holders of our 13% Series AA Secured Convertible Debentures converted their debentures into 1,018,947 shares of shares of Sibling series common stock.
 
Such securities were not registered under the Securities Act.  These securities qualified for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act since the issuance of securities by us did not involve a public offering. The offering was not a “public offering” as defined in Section 4(2) due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the transaction, size of the offering, manner of the offering and number of securities offered. We did not undertake an offering in which we sold a high number of securities to a high number of investors. In addition, these shareholders had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(2) since they agreed to and received share certificates bearing a legend stating that such securities are restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act.  This restriction ensures that these securities would not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore not be part of a “public offering.” Based on an analysis of the above factors, we have met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for this transaction.
 
Item 5.01
Changes in Control of Registrant
 
As a result of the issuance of securities described below, a change in control has occurred.

 
 

 
 
On December 30, 2010, pursuant to the Securities Exchange Agreement described in Item 1.01, the N4E members collectively hold 8,839,869 shares of our series common stock.  The shares of Series Common Stock issued to the N4E members represents in the aggregate, 85% of the voting power of SIBE and upon conversion of the series common stock into our common stock, the N4E members will hold 85% of the shares of common stock outstanding on the date of conversion.  The terms of the series common stock are described in Item 5.03.

Item 5.03
Amendments to Articles of Incorporation
 
On December 30, 2010, the Board of Directors, pursuant to authority granted in the Company’s certificate of formation and Chapter 21 of the Texas Organizations Code, created a new series of common stock to effect the settlement with the holders of the debentures and the acquisition of N4E.  As a result, our 100,000,000 authorized shares of common stock are now divided into 2 series, 90,000,000 shares of equity common stock, of which 46,635,816 shares were issued and outstanding at December 30, 2010 and 10,000,000 shares of series common stock, of which 9,879,854 were issued and outstanding at December 30, 2010.
 
Series common stock automatically converts into 95% of the outstanding common stock (giving effect to the conversion) upon the vote of holders of two-thirds of outstanding series common stock, voting as a separate series.  If the series common stock were converted into common stock December 30, 2010, each share of series common stock would convert into 89.68559095 shares of common stock.  Equity common stock and series common stock vote together as a single class on all matters which our stockholders are entitled to vote.  In addition, holders of series common stock are entitled to a series vote to approve certain material transactions.  Each share of equity common stock is entitled to one vote and each share of series common stock is entitled to a number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock into which one share of series common stock is convertible on the record date of the vote.  If the Board of Directors declares a dividend on equity common stock, an equivalent dividend (based on the number of shares of equity common stock into which a share series common stock is then convertible) must be paid in respect of series common stock.

Exhibit 10.1
 
LOAN ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT
 
THIS LOAN ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is executed and delivered this 29th day of December, 2010 (the “Closing Date”), by and between Sibling Entertainment Group Holdings, Inc., a  Texas corporation (“SIBE”), Sibling Theatricals, Inc., a _____ corporation (“Borrower”), and SIBE Debt Resolution, LLC, a ___________ limited liability company (the “Company”).
 
Background
 
The Company was organized on December __, 2010, for the sole purpose of holding a loan and security agreement (the “Loan Documents”) evidencing a loan made by SIBE to Borrower in the original principal amount of $2,555,000 (the “Loan”) which, pursuant to this Agreement, SIBE is assigning to the Company.  The Loan was made using the proceeds received by SIBE from the sale of $2,555,000 in principal amount of SIBE’s 13% Series AA Secured Convertible Debentures (the “Debentures”).  SIBE intends to transfer all of its ownership interest in the Company to the holders of the Debentures in furtherance of a proposed settlement of the obligations of SIBE due to the holders of Debentures.
 
Agreement
 
For and inconsideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree:
 
Section 1.        Assignment of Loan Documents

Sibling Entertainment Group Holdings, Inc.
333 Hudson Street
Suite 207
New York, NY 10013
Attention: Mitchell Maxwell
 
Re:           SONA 13% Series AA Secured Convertible Debentures, AA-1 Warrants, and AA-2 Warrants
 
Gentlemen:
 
The undersigned (the “Holder”), is a party to a Subscription Agreement dated ____________________ (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Sibling Entertainment Group Holdings, Inc. formerly known as Sona Development Corp. (“SIBE”) pursuant to which Holder purchased from SIBE, _____________ Units, at price of $10,000 per Unit, with each unit consisting of (a) a 13% interest bearing secured promissory note in the principal amount of $10,000 (the “Debenture”), (b) a five year warrant to purchase 10,000 shares of SIBE common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share (the “AA-1 Warrant”), and (c) a five year warrant to purchase 10,000 shares of SIBE common stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share (the “AA-2 Warrant”, and together with the Purchase Agreement, the Debenture, and the AA-1 Warrant, are sometimes collectively referred to as the “Debenture Transaction Documents”).
 
1.            You have informed me that:
 
(a)        The proceeds from the sale of the debentures were loaned to Sibling Theatricals, Inc. (the “Theatricals Loan”).  The collectability of the Theatricals loan is in doubt.
 
(b)       SIBE intends to acquire Newco4education, LLC (the “Acquisition”).  SIBE believes that Newco4education, LLC has the management expertise, know-how, and intellectual property that would permit SIBE to manage and operate charter schools.
 
(c)        The Acquisition is conditioned, among other things, upon:
 
(i) the conversion of all outstanding Debentures, AA-1 Warrants, and AA-2 Warrants into approximately 1,052,632 shares of Series B Common Stock, having the terms set forth on Exhibit A hereto, and
 
(ii) the transfer and conveyance of all of SIBE’s interest in the Theatricals Loan to a newly organized limited liability company (the “Company”), pursuant to a Loan Assignment Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto for the benefit of the holders of the Debentures and the distribution of the membership interests in the Compnay pro rata to the holders of the Debentures; and
 
(iii) the execution and delivery by each of the holders of the Debentures of this Agreement.
 
(d)       The Series B Common Stock issued to the holders of all of the Debentures will convert into 10% of the issued and outstanding common stock on the date of conversion.
 

 
2.           Holder hereby irrevocably converts all Debentures, AA-1 Warrants, and AA-2 Warrants registered in the name of Holder into __________________ shares of SIBE’s Series B Common Stock and a ______ % limited liability company membership interest of the Company (collectively, the “Conversion Shares”), effective on the day before the closing of the Acquisition, currently anticipated to be November 30, 2010 (the “Anticipated Closing Date”).  If the closing of the Acquisition occurs after the Anticipated Closing Date, no additional interest shall accrue under the Debentures and no change shall be made in the number of Conversion Shares issued to Holder.
 
3.           Holder hereby irrevocably accepts delivery of the Conversion Shares in full payment, accord, and satisfaction of the Debentures, the AA-1 Warrants, the AA-2 Warrants, and all obligations of SIBE due Holder under the Debenture Transaction Documents, and any other document or instrument held by Holder.  Holder acknowledges and agrees that upon delivery of the Conversion Shares: (i) SIBE will no longer be indebted to Holder, (ii) any security interest in the assets of SIBE related to the Debentures is released, extinguished, and terminated, (iii) SIBE will have no further obligations to Holder under the Debentures, the AA-1 Warrants, and the AA-2 Warrants, and (iv) that each of the Debenture Transaction Documents will be terminated and of no further force and effect.
 
4.           Effective upon delivery of the Conversion Shares to Holder, Holder releases, acquits, and forever discharges SIBE, and its past, present, and future officers, directors, partners, agents, employees, attorneys, heirs, successors, assigns, parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, and representatives (collectively, the “Releasees”) of and from any and all actions, causes of action, claims, suits, damages, judgments, and demands whatsoever in law and/or equity, known or unknown, accrued or unaccrued, suspected or unsuspected, fixed or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, matured or unmatured, developed or undeveloped, discoverable or undiscoverable, which Holder had, now has, or may later have or claim to have, against the Releasees, or any of them, involving or arising out of any act or failure to act, or any transaction, event, circumstance, occurrence, or state of facts, which existed, occurred, or transpired, or which is alleged to have existed, occurred, or transpired, at any time from the beginning of time through and including the date Holder receives the Conversion Shares, including without limitation, all matters arising out of or related to the offer, sale, and issuance of the Units, the Debenture Transaction Documents, the Theatricals Loan, this Agreement, the Acquisition, and all other matters whatsoever which have or allegedly have occurred or transpired from the beginning of time through and including the date Holder receives the Conversion Shares, excluding only the rights of Holder to receive the Conversion Shares as provided pursuant to this Agreement.
 
5.           From the date of this Agreement until December 31, 2010, and forever after the delivery of the Conversion Shares, Holder covenants and agrees not to sue the Releasees or any of them with respect to any matter within the scope of the release in this Agreement.  Holder agrees to indemnify each of the Releasees for all costs or expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by such Releasee in the defense of such suit.
 
6.           Holder agrees to execute and deliver such other documents and instruments to evidence the termination of the obligations of SIBE under the Debentures and the Debenture Transaction Documents, without any additional consideration therefor, as SIBE may reasonably request.
 
-2-

 
7.           The Conversion Shares being acquired by Holder will be acquired for Holder's own account without the participation of any other person, with the intent of holding the Conversion Shares for investment and without the intent of participating, directly or indirectly, in a distribution of the Conversion Shares and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution of the Conversion Shares, nor is Holder aware of the existence of any distribution of the Conversion Shares.  Holder has such knowledge and experience in financial tax and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of, and bearing the economic risks entailed by, an investment in SIBE and the Company and of protecting Holder’s interests in connection with this transaction.  Holder recognizes and acknowledges that its investment in SIBE and the Company involves a high degree of risk.  Holder is able to bear the economic risks of the investment in the Conversion Shares, including the risk of a complete loss of Holder's investment therein.  Holder understands and agrees that the Conversion Shares will be issued and sold to Holder without registration under any state law relating to the registration of securities for sale, and will be issued and sold in reliance on the exemptions from registration under the 1933 Act, provided by Sections 3(b) and/or 4(2) thereof and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.  The Conversion Shares cannot be offered for sale, sold or transferred by Holder other than pursuant to: (A) an effective registration under the 1933 Act or in a transaction otherwise in compliance with the 1933 Act; and (B) evidence satisfactory to the Company of compliance with the applicable securities laws of other jurisdictions.  The Company shall be entitled to rely upon an opinion of counsel satisfactory to it with respect to Holder’s compliance with such laws.  Holder has had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the Company and any person acting on its behalf and to obtain all material information reasonably available with respect to SIBE and the Company and their respective affairs.  Holder is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D, promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933
 
8.           Holder has had the opportunity to review this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with Holder’s own legal counsel and investment and tax advisors.  Holder is relying solely on such counsel and advisors and not on any statements or representations of SIBE or the Company or any of its or their representatives or agents, for legal, tax, or investment advice with respect to this Agreement, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the securities laws of any jurisdiction.  Holder acknowledges that Krevolin & Horst, LLC are attorneys for Newco4education, LLC and not SIBE, the Company, or Holder..
 
9.           Holder has full power and authority to execute, deliver, and perform this Agreement without the consent or approval of any other person that has not been obtained on or prior to the date hereof.  This Agreement is the legal, binding, and valid obligation of Holder, enforceable against Holder in accordance with its terms.
 
10.           This Agreement and the rights of SIBE and Holder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflicts of laws rules.  The parties agree that any appropriate state court sitting in Fulton County, Georgia or any Federal Court sitting in the Northern District of Georgia (Atlanta Division) (collectively, the “Permitted Courts”), shall have exclusive jurisdiction of any case or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement and shall be a proper forum in which to adjudicate such case or controversy, and each party irrevocably: (a) consents to the jurisdiction of the Permitted Courts in such actions, (b) agrees not to plead or claim that such litigation brought in the Permitted Courts has been brought in an inconvenient forum, and (c) waives the right to object, with respect to such suit, action, or proceeding, that such court does not have jurisdiction over such party.  In any suit, arbitration, mediation, or other proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Agreement or to interpret any provision of this Agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover its costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and all costs and fees incurred on appeal or in a bankruptcy or similar action.

A group of debenture holders filed a complaint against the Company in early 2010, seeking immediate payment of principal and interest. This group received a default judgment shortly thereafter. The total owed to all debenture holders, including interest as of September 30, 2010, is approximately $3,518,550.
 
Upon execution of the default judgment, the Company considered filing for protection under bankruptcy law.

The Company is keeping the debenture holders appraised of the Company's efforts and expect their cooperation moving forward.
 
There is no other pending litigation against the Company.

The Company is actively evaluating opportunities in all industries.

Press Release Source: Sibling Entertainment Group Holdings, Inc. On Wednesday December 1, 2010, 8:32 am EST
 
NEW YORK and ATLANTA, Dec. 1, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Sibling Entertainment Group Holdings, Inc. (Pink Sheets:SIBE - News) ("the Company") today announced that it intends to reorient its business focus to the growing and important education marketplace. It intends to acquire NEWCO4EDUCATION, LLC as a means of initiating its participation in the educational services industry.
 
"We believe the market for educational services and the supporting technology is large in size, and key to growth in the economy going forward. This asset acquisition will be the basis for this important change in strategy," said Mitchell Maxwell, Chairman and CEO of the Company. He continued, "While in the past we focused on the entertainment area, the downturn in the economy has prevented our ability to execute. Recognizing this, we are now ready to move forward in education for the benefit of our shareholders."
 
NEWCO4EDUCATION, LLC (NEWCO) is a recently formed business with plans to move rapidly into the area of education management and the supporting software, systems and procedures to implement teaching, and learning, at a high level of performance. It is based in Atlanta, Georgia, and will focus on the charter school segment of the education industry, in both primary and secondary education. Under the terms of the agreement, NEWCO will be acquired and becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
 
In consideration of the purchase of NEWCO and its ownership assets and intellectual property for its educational strategy, NEWCO's existing members will receive shares in a newly created Series B Common Stock. The shares issued to the NEWCO members will, in aggregate, have the right to convert into eighty five percent (85%) of the common stock in the Company at a later date. Any issuance of this common stock would be subject to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1934. In addition to other conditions, NEWCO shall have the right to appoint three (3) directors to the Board of Directors for SIBE, and operations will be relocated to Atlanta, Georgia.
 
In conjunction with the acquisition of NEWCO the Company has reached an agreement with its debenture holders, whose total owed amounts is in excess of $3.6 million, to restructure the obligations. The agreement calls for SIBE to move the remaining assets from its previous operations, which consist primarily of receivables and other investments subject to collection, into a newly formed subsidiary, whose ownership will be transferred pro-rata to the holders of the debentures. In addition the debenture holders will exchange their notes for shares of the same Series B Common Stock that is being issued to NEWCO. The shares issued will allow for the right to convert the Series B shares into an amount of common stock equal to up to ten percent (10%) of shares outstanding at a later date. Any issuance of this common stock would be subject to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1934. The settlement with the debenture holders included consent to the acquisition of NEWCO.
 
The completion of the transaction is subject to numerous conditions, including the approval of the Board of Directors of SIBE and approval of the Management of NEWCO4EDUCATION, LLC. Upon completion the Company expects to begin activities aimed at bringing SIBE to a current reporting status, announce management changes and implement its new educational services and technology business plans. Management anticipates closing the transaction before the end of the month of December, 2010.
 

 
NEWCO4EDUCATION, LLC is a recently formed entity with a focus on providing services and technology aimed at increasing the performance in educational settings. It will operate through two (2) divisions, its Educational Management Organization (EMO) and its Technology and Services Group (TSG). The EMO intends to provide school management services, primarily within the charter school arena. The TSG division is focused on the development and deployment of software, systems and procedures to enhance the rate of learning in both primary and secondary education. It is based in Atlanta, Georgia.
