NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
 
Note 1 - Description of Business
 
Experience Art and Design, Inc. (the "Company"), a Nevada corporation, whose principal purpose is to produce, market and sale works of art.
 
Reverse Acquisition
 
On May 7, 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the assets of Chiurazzi Internazionale S.r.l. ("Chiurazzi Srl") pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement with CI Holdings, Inc.  The Company acquired Chiurazzi Srl, with Chiurazzi Srl continuing as the accounting acquirer and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.  In connection with the acquisition, 9,700,000 common shares were issued to acquire 100% of the assets, liabilities, and equity of Chiurazzi Srl.  The Company also assumed a secured note payable to Chiurazzi International, LLC for $2,540,000 in conjunction with the acquisition.  At the closing of the purchase transaction, we cancelled 23,000,000 shares of restricted common stock held by Arthur John Carter, our President prior to the purchase transaction.
 
The acquisition was accounted for as a reverse acquisition and Chiurazzi Srl was deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the acquisition.  The Company's assets and liabilities were recorded at their fair value.  Chiurazzi's assets and liabilities were carried forward at their historic costs.  The financial statements of Chiurazzi are presented as the continuing accounting entity since it is the acquirer for the purpose of applying purchase accounting.  The equity section of the balance sheet and earnings per share of Chiurazzi are retroactively restated to reflect the effect of the exchange ratio established in the Company.
 
Note 2 - Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statement have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), regarding interim financial reporting.  Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.  As such, the information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-K should be read in conjunction with recent company filings with the SEC.
                                                                                                                                               
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Chiurazzi Internazionale S.r.l.  All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Management's Estimates and Assumptions
 
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.
 
Cash and Equivalents
 
The Company's cash and cash equivalents consist of cash, as well as interest and non-interest bearing balances due from banks both foreign and domestic with an original maturity of three months or less.  Amounts in depository accounts fluctuate on a daily basis due to activity and liquidity needs.  It is the Company's policy not to deposit large sums of cash within foreign operational deposit accounts due to financial instability in the region and the Company fund operations on an as needed basis.  The Company maintains cash in bank deposit accounts domestically, which at times may exceed the federally insured limits throughout the course of operations.
 
Accounts Receivable
 
Accounts receivable consist primarily of trade receivables, net of a valuation allowance for doubtful accounts.
 
The Company attempts to limit its exposure to losses on accounts receivable by monitoring the size and economic strength of its receivables, and whenever appropriate reflect a reserve for accounts that have been deemed potentially uncollectable.  Monitoring occurs on a regular basis and exposure is limited by the vetting process for customers.
 
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
 
The Company extends credit to customers and other parties in the normal course of business.  The Company regularly reviews outstanding receivables and provides for estimated losses through an allowance for doubtful accounts.  In evaluating the level of established reserves, the Company makes judgments regarding its customers' ability to make required payments, economic events and other factors.  As the financial condition of these parties change, circumstances develop or additional information becomes available, adjustments to the allowance for doubtful accounts may be required.  When the Company determines that a customer may not be able to make required payments, the Company increases the allowance through a charge to income in the period in which that determination is made. 
 
Inventories
 
Inventories are valued at the cost of acquisition, cost of production, and (or) deemed market value and are subsequently subject to lower of cost or market accounting on a nonrecurring basis.  The cost of acquisition includes any costs directly attributable to the acquired inventory.  Costs of physical production includes an allocation of raw materials, labor, and overhead allocated based on the estimated hours required to produce finished goods available for sale.  Periodically management reviews the existing finished inventory and determines if any impairment (write down) is required.  The fair value of finished inventory held-for-sale is generally based on estimated market prices from an independently prepared appraisal, an independent art broker opinion, or management's judgment as to the selling price of similar works of art.  For these finished works of art, the Company obtains fair value measurements from both internal experts regularly available and well versed in such works of art and independent experts as the need arises.
 
Property, Plant and Equipment
 
The Company accounts for property, plant and equipment at historical cost less accumulated depreciation.  Historical cost includes all expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of fixed assets.  Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount and are recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when there is the probability of future economic benefits.  All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.  Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost to their residual values over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
 
Plant and machinery                                                      
10 to 20 years
Furniture and fixtures                                                    
10 to 17 years
Specific equipment and collection of moulds            
20 years
 
The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted as appropriate at least once a year.  An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.  Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount.
 
Intangibles
Intangible assets consist primarily of a trademark which was acquired in the third quarter of 2013 from a related-party CI Holdings, Inc.  Purchased intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized but are tested for impairment as least annually. 
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Revenue is recognized when the earning process is completed, the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customer, which is generally the same day as delivery or shipment of the product, the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured.  Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are incurred as a result of a revenue transaction are not included in revenues.  The Company has no significant sales returns or allowances.
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company is a taxable entity and recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse.  The effect on the deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the year that includes the enactment date of the rate change.  A valuation allowance is used to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.  Interest and penalties associated with income taxes are included in selling, general and administrative expense.
 
A tax benefit from an uncertain position may be recognized if it is "more likely than not" that the position is sustainable, based upon its technical merits.  The tax benefit of a qualifying position is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority having full knowledge of all relevant information.  As of December 31, 2013, the Company had not recorded any tax benefits from uncertain tax positions.
                                                                                                                                                 
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
 
The basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during a period.  Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss), adjusted on an as if converted basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive securities.  No dilutive securities were outstanding as of March 31, 2014 and 2013.
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
The Company sometimes grants shares of stock for goods and services and in conjunction with certain agreements.  These grants are accounted for based on the grant date fair values.
 
Foreign Currency Translation
 
The functional currency of the Company's subsidiary outside of the United States is its respective local currency.  The translation from the applicable foreign currency to US dollars is performed for the balance sheet accounts using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using a weighted average exchange rate for the period.  The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). 
 
Subsequent Events
 
The Company has evaluated all transactions from March 31, 2014 through the financial statement issuance date for subsequent event disclosure consideration and there are no reportable events.
 
New Accounting Pronouncements
 
There were various accounting standards and interpretations issued recently, none of which are expected to a have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, operations or cash flows.
 
Note 3 - Going Concern and Liquidity Considerations
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the Company has a loss from operations of $0 and had an accumulated deficit of $2,987,613.  The Company intends to fund operations through equity financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund its capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements for the year ending December 31, 2014.
 
These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

During 2013 and 2014, The Company has been operating at a net operational loss the federal tax rates on income range 15% to 35% stagger at different income brackets.  Since the Company had a net operation loss, no tax provision for U.S. tax purposes was deemed necessary at this time.
 
Chiurazzi Srl is governed by Italian tax law and is generally subject to tax at a statutory rate of 27.5% on income reported in the statutory financial statements after appropriate tax adjustments. Under Italian tax law, companies that can be considered 'dormant' will have to pay 38% corporate income tax (IRES) tax rate applied to a notional income amount. The minimum tax for dormant company is calculated based on certain percentage of its assets. Companies are considered as "dormant" when their ordinary revenues and inventories increasing included in the statement of operations are lower than the ones deriving from certain percentages of its assets. An entity is also considered to be dormant in a fiscal year if it has had tax losses in the three previous years. Chiurazzi Srl has losses since its inception in 2010 and has accrued a minimum tax of $56,943 for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Note 10 – Employee Termination Indemnities
 
Upon dismissal for any reason, employees in Italy are entitled to the "Trattamento di Fine Rapporto" ("TFR"). TFR is deferred compensation that accrues year by year in favor of an employee and is paid upon termination, but is not connected or subject to the circumstances regarding termination. TFR must be contributed by employers to complementary funds (with the exception of employees who have opted out of such allocation) or to a governmental fund established specifically in order to manage TFR accruals. Annual TFR accruals are calculated on the basis of an employee's salary. Accrued TFR was $54,025 and $37,081 as of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Limited Operating History; Need for Additional Capital
 
There is no historical financial information about us upon which to base an evaluation of our performance.  We are a development stage corporation and have not generated any revenues from operations. 
 
We have no assurance that future financing will be available to us on acceptable terms.  If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue, develop or expand our operations.  Equity financing could result in additional dilution to existing shareholders.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources            
 
We have minimal assets and have not achieved operating revenues since our inception.  We have depended on sales of equity securities to conduct operations.
 
Our cash balance at March 31, 2014, was $58,434. 
 
Cash provided by financing activities for the period through March 31, 2014, was $0.   Since inception (January 24, 2011) to March 31, 2014, the Company has issued 25,000,000 common shares for $10,000 in cash, and 11,750,000 common shares for $47,000 in cash, for total cash proceeds of $57,000, being $36,750 for par value shares and $20,250 for capital in excess of par value.  There were 25,409,600 common shares issued and outstanding at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. 

We do not have sufficient funds to implement our business plan and will seek alternative sources of funds and business opportunities.
 
Plan of Operation
Our plan was to develop a hospital-based business offering waste divergence programs and strategies to help hospitals better recycle.  The Company intended to play an educational role bringing hospital administrators, staff, and recycling professionals together to formulate workable conservation solutions.  Professional fees and retainers were to be charged for our services, and incentives attached to performance.  A specific referral program was planned, whereby whenever a partner hospital successfully referred our services to another, financial as well as value-added incentives were to be returned to the partner hospital. Because of a lack of sufficient funds, we could not proceed with our business plan.
 
We intend, therefore, to pursue other business opportunities and alternative sources of funding. On September 20, 2012, we entered into a Memorandum of Understanding to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of CI Holdings, Incorporated ("CI"), an Oregon corporation, the holding company for Chiurazzi Internazionale S.r.l., an Italian corporation. The Memorandum of Understanding is subject to appropriate legal and accounting due diligence, as well as board and shareholder approval, in order to complete a definitive agreement between the parties. Chiurazzi Internazionale S.r.l. owns and operates the Chiurazzi Foundry based in Casoria, Italy, which houses the world renowned Chiurazzi Mould Collection.  The collection, comprised of more than 1,650 artistic bronze sculpture mould taken from original marble masterpieces housed in many of the most famous museums in the world, is essentially the national archive of Italian sculpture and artifacts.
 
On January 16, 2013 we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") whereby Experience Art + Design, Inc., f/k/a CI Holdings, Inc., an Oregon corporation, will be merged with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and will, upon closing, operate as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Experience is the holding company for Chiurazzi Internazionale S.r.l. an Italian Corporation.  The Merger Agreement is being executed pursuant to an MOU entered into by the Company and Experience announced on September 24, 2012 . 
Following the closing of the purchase transaction with Seller, the business of Chiurazzi Srl became the sole line of business of the Company. Accordingly, we believe the past trading history of the common stock of Clear System Recycling, Inc. should not be viewed as relevant due to the change in our business. The prior market price was not based on the earnings or profits of Chiurazzi Srl that will be operated by the Company going forward. Thus, the market price of our common stock may decline as a result of the purchase transaction as well as any number of other factors set forth herein and as are more fully described in the "Risk Factors" section of this report.  
As a result of the purchase transaction, Chiurazzi Srl is our wholly-owned subsidiary and our sole operating business. Chiurazzi Srl owns more than 1,650 historic bronze sculpture moulds representing ancient historic masterpieces (the "Chiurazzi Mould Collection"). Our focus is to create reproductions (the "Chiurazzi Collection") of such masterpieces from the Chiurazzi Mould Collection at our Italian foundry. The foundry, located in Casoria, Italy (the "Chiurazzi Foundry"), is the facility where the reproduction sculptures are created from the Chiurazzi Mould Collection.   Throughout this report, we refer to "Chiurazzi" as our business, which is comprised of the Chiurazzi Mould Collection, the Chiurazzi Collection and the Chiurazzi Foundry.

We have never entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements and have not formed any special purpose entities.  We have not guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities or entered into any options on non-financial assets.
