DESCRIPTION
OF BUSINESS.
|
The
Company, which was incorporated in the State of Delaware on June 25, 2002,
markets cold weather recreational and industrial clothing products that are made
from INSULTEX, a low density foamed polyethylene, a material with buoyancy,
scent block, and thermal resistant properties. We have a license
agreement directly with the owner of the INSULTEX Technology.
During
2006, an Involuntary Chapter 7 Petition was filed against us based upon a
judgment award from an Italian Arbitration Panel. On October 31,
2007, we were dismissed from the bankruptcy case.
The
distribution rights we have are derived from our license
agreement. As such, we purchase INSULTEX to be used in the
manufacturing of our products. Similarly, other companies are free to
purchase INSULTEX from us assuming that it is a company within the distribution
jurisdiction that we have, which is worldwide with the exception of Korea and
Japan. Other than Korea and Japan, we are the sole worldwide
supplier/distributor of the INSULTEX material.
We offer
the following products containing INSULTEX:
|
·
|
Floating
Swimwear: Product under our product name "Swimeez". Our
swimwear is designed to be a swim aid. The interior lining of
our swimwear product is made from INSULTEX, which enhances
floatability.
|
|
·
|
Hunting Apparel
Line: Our hunting apparel provides almost total block from odors
provided by the INSULTEX material.
|
|
·
|
Arctic Armor
Line: The Arctic Armor line, introduced in April of 2006, consists
of a jacket, bib and gloves. The suit contains 3 layers of
INSULTEX for uncompromised warmth and provides the user with guaranteed
buoyancy. The gloves contain a single layer of INSULTEX and are
windproof, waterproof and good to sub-zero temperatures as are the jacket
and bibs.
|
Our
products, except for our gloves which are manufactured in China by purchase
order, are manufactured, under agreement, at a facility we currently utilize in
Indonesia. We assumed no material costs associated with the design,
prototyping, and testing of these products because: (a) we did not utilize the
services of any outside consultant or company for these purposes; (b) although
we used the services of our Chief Executive Officer and Vice President of Sales
and Marketing for these purposes, their efforts are part of their normal
responsibilities; (c) prior to the time we had undertaken to design and
prototype of these products, we purchased the materials to accomplish these
tasks, the cost of which did not exceed $1000; and (d) the testing of these
products was performed in the "field" by our employees and our Manufacturer's
Representative groups, as part of their normal
responsibilities.

The
INSULTEX License and Manufacturing Agreement
Under the
terms of the agreement between us and the Ketut Group, Ketut Group agrees to
promptly deliver to Innovative Designs, Inc. within twenty-eight (28) days of
receiving an order, all INSULTEX ordered by us. Under the terms of
the agreement, we are required to pay a fixed amount per meter of
INSULTEX. This fixed amount will not change under the agreement for a
period of ten (10) years after the date of the agreement was signed, which was
April 1, 2006. The agreement provides that after the ten (10) year
period, the price of the INSULTEX shall be adjusted for a subsequent ten (10)
year term, no more than twelve percent (12%) per the subsequent ten (10) year
period. We order INSULTEX from time to time as needed and are not
required to purchase any minimum amount of INSULTEX during the term of the
agreement, and we are not required to make any minimum annual
payment. However, should we place an order, any quantity ordered must
be a minimum of 35,000 meters of INSULTEX. We are not required to pay
any part of any sublicense fee that we receives from third party sublicensees,
and we are not required to pay any fees to the Ketut Group. This
agreement will be in full legal force and effect for an initial term of ten (10)
years from the date of its execution. We have the option to renew
this agreement for up to three (3) successive terms of ten (10) years each by
giving notice of our intention to so renew not less than ninety (90) days prior
to the expiration of the then-current term.
The Haas
Agreement
On June
16, 2003, we completed an agreement with Haas Outdoors in which Haas Outdoors
granted us a non-exclusive wholesale license in North America to: (a)
manufacture, or sell products or to have manufactured for us, and to sell
licensed products of Haas Outdoors; and (b) use the licensed trademark of Haas
Outdoors in association with the marketing and sale of licensed
products. The agreement defines licensed products as a product which
bears or otherwise includes Haas Outdoors' licensed design and is further
restricted to mean only our stadium pack. "Licensed design" is
defined in the agreement as the camouflage pattern(s) known as the Mossy Oak
Break-Up and/or New BreakUp and Duck Blind patterns and which is covered by Haas
Outdoors' copyrights, including but limited to United States Copyright
Registration No. 2,227,642. The agreement defines "licensed
trademark" as Haas Outdoors' trademarks Mossy Oak Break-Up and/or New BreakUp
and Duck Blind patterns. The term of the agreement is two years from
the effective date of the agreement, May 30, 2003. During 2007, the
Company extended the terms of this agreement with Haas Outdoors for an
additional two years. We paid a one time $250 licensing fee for these
rights. We are also required to pay to Haas Outdoors a running
royalty, which is included in the price of fabrics purchased from licensed
vendors of Haas Outdoors.
In
addition, the agreement provides that we, as the licensee in the agreement are
required to: (a) place on the licensed products in a manner prescribed by
copyright laws and unless otherwise indicated, a sufficient copyright notice
including the copyright notice, the year of publication, and an identification
of Haas Outdoors as the owner; and (b) in all instances where Haas Outdoors so
desires, we will include on licensed products the authorized trademark
associated with the authorized design. We also agreed that nothing in
the agreement will confer upon us any proprietary interest in the licensed
designs, the licensed trademarks, or any other copyright, trademark and patents
rights owned by Haas Outdoors. In addition, we agreed that Haas
Outdoors is the owner of the licensed designs and licensed trademarks and that
we will not contest the validity or enforceability of the licensed trademarks or
Haas Outdoors copyrights in the licensed designs.
The
Jordan Agreement.
In April
2008, we entered into a licensed agreement with Jordan Outdoor Enterprises, Ltd.
for the use of their REAL TREE and ADVANTAGE trademarked artistic camouflage
designs. We may use the designs in our hooded jacket, insulated bibs
and waterproof/breathable gloves. We must submit all samples of
proposed products for preapproval as well as all catalog, advertising, display
or promotional copy. Official hangtags or stickers must be affixed to
all covered products. All fabrics with the authorized patters must be
purchased from an authorized fabric source. The term of the agreement
is for five years with the licensor having the right to the agreement upon
thirty days notice. We paid a $500 execution fee.

House
Wrap
In early
January 2008, we announced that we had completed our research and development
effort on a new use for INSULTEX as a house wrap for the building construction
industry. This house wrap will provide barrier protection plus
moisture vapor transmission and the novel feature of approximately R2
insulation. The house wrap was designed specifically to add enhanced
insulating characteristics. In addition the house wrap will be priced
competitively with existing house wraps that do not provide any
insulation. The development efforts were conducted by our own
personnel. The testing phase has been completed and we are now
awaiting third party test results.
Website
and Retailers
We sell
both wholesale and retail products on our website. Our website,
located at www.idigear.com, contains information on our products, technical
information on INSULTEX insulation, e-commerce capabilities with "shopping
cart", wholesaler information and order forms, company contact information, and
links to retailers that carry our products. We have obtained the
services of BA Web Productions who assists us in designing and continually
developing our website. Our website features a "wholesaler only"
area, allowing our wholesalers access to information, ordering, and
reordering. The web site is hosted by Nidhog Hosting. The
secure payment gateway provider for our online e-commerce is SkipJack Financial
Services.

-
Our
products are offered and sold by retailers, distributors and companies in
approximately twenty-five states, Canada, Russia and Finland who purchase our
products at wholesale prices which they plan to sell at their retail prices, or
use within their industry:
Sales
We
primarily sell our products through independent sales agents and
agencies. Once we have made contact with a potential sales agency or
solo agent, we evaluate their existing accounts, the capacity and potential for
them to effectively push our products. We also look at their current
product lines through the sales channel. Our market area is the
outdoor industry which includes all activity done in cold
weather. These activities include recreational such as hunting, ice
fishing, snowmobiling, and industries such as oil and gas, utilities and
construction. Once we agree to bring on an independent sales agent or
agency, we enter into a standard agreement.
A typical
sales representative agreement will have a term of one year with the right of
either party to terminate upon thirty days written notice. We do not
provide any free samples of our products and all sales expenses are the sole
obligation of the sales agent. In the case of our agreement for
Russia and Finland, the agent is required to prepay for all products
ordered.
Certain
retailers buy directly from us. We have no verbal or written
agreements with them. These retailers purchase our products strictly
on a purchase order basis. During our last fiscal year, we sold our
products to such retailers as Gander Mountain, Scheels All Sports, and Frank’s
Great Outdoors. Some of our distributors during the last fiscal year
were Triple S Pro Fishing Supplies, KTL Canada and Cannon Tackle.
We
distribute our products to the following:
Swimeez
Products
We
distribute our Swimeez products through sporting goods catalogs and through the
internet.
Hunting
Apparel Line
We
distribute our hunting apparel through national and local retail
chains.
Six
pocket pants, 1/2 zip pullover jacket with collar, parka jacket, fleece jacket,
guide series shirt, bib coveralls in light weight, bib coveralls in arctic
weight. We distribute these products to the public, through product
information mailings to prospective retail buyers and private showings to
targeted buyers in the retail industry.
Arctic
Armor Line
We
distribute the Arctic Armor Line to retailers and distributors across the United
States, Canada and in Russia and Finland. These products are also
marketed to utility companies, oil/gas pipeline workers, railroad workers, first
responders and to construction workers.

We ship
wholesale product orders by United Parcel Service or trucking
companies. Retail orders from our website are shipped United Parcel
Ground Service or Federal Express overnight. The costs of shipping
our finished goods are paid by our customers. We have not instituted
any formal arrangements or agreements with United Parcel Service, Federal
Express or trucking companies, and we do not intend to do so.
Our
"idigear" label is sewn on all of our products. Haas Outdoors, Inc.'s
Mossy Oak Break Up and New Break Up and Duck Blind hang tags are attached only
to our "Mossy Oak pattern" stadium pack products. Additionally, we
will be utilizing the Mossy Oak camouflage on the new products that we are in
the development stages of introducing, which will feature the Mossy Oak hang tag
with our "idigear" hang tag. REAL TREE and ADVANTAGE hangtags are
used for products using these patterns.
INSULTEX
will be used in all our finished goods and will be purchased directly from the
Ketut Group.
All of
our products, except for our gloves, which are produced in China, are
sub-manufactured by PT Lidya and Natalia located in
Indonesia. Indonesia does not impose quotas that limit the time
period or quantity of items which can be imported. The United States
Customs Service imposes a 9% importation duty on all finished goods, based upon
our completed stadium packs. All other products are 6.5% including
INSULTEX.
We have
no verbal or written agreements or long term agreements with PT Lidya and
Natalia and we do not plan to obtain any such agreements. Our
products are manufactured on a per order basis.
The
fulfillment process involved in completing wholesale orders for non-stocked
swimsuit, hunting line and arctic armor products is described
below:
·
|
We
receive a purchase order for a certain number of items from a wholesale
purchaser by hand delivery, fax, courier, or mail, with an authorized
signature of the purchaser. We do not accept telephone
orders.
|
·
|
We
contact our sub-manufacturers with the details of the order, including the
number of units to be produced according to design or model, size, or
color. The sub-manufacturer procures all materials required for
the product.
|
·
|
We
complete and forward a purchase order to the manufacturer. The
manufacturer approves or disapproves a purchase
order.
|
·
|
If
the purchase order is approved, the manufacturer responds with a final
cost, production schedule and date the goods will be delivered to
us.
|
·
|
Our
sub-manufacturers ship finished goods to
us.
|
·
|
We
receive finished goods, and facilitate turn-around for shipment to
retailers. Goods are received in our distribution center where
they are packaged in Master Packs, hang tags attached, and UPC/UCC codes
labels applied to items for retailer
distribution.
|
- 7
-
Any
inventory we maintain is stored at our warehousing facility. Our
warehouse facility has the capacity to hold 250,000 finished products in
inventory.
In late
2003, we were granted a trademark for our name "idigear" with the United States
Patent and Trademark Office.
In late
2005, we were granted the mark "INSULTEX" by the United States Patent and
Trademark Office.
The
INSULTEX Technology is protected by a Korean patent. We have been
granted a license for marketing and distribution rights for use of INSULTEX in
swimeez and stadium packs and the rights to purchase INSULTEX for the
manufacture of other apparel and accessory items and any other use containing
INSULTEX.
In
December 2009, we filed a patent application, No. 12 642714, with the United
States Patent and Trademark Office for our Composite House Warp.
Our
production costs are limited to the invoices we receive from our
sub-manufacturer, PT Lidya and Natalia, on a per production basis and for our
gloves from our supplier in China.
Because
we use sub-manufacturers for our products, we do not require any equipment for
manufacturing and we do expect to incur any material costs affiliated with
purchase of plant and significant equipment. We do not currently have
any plant or significant equipment to sell.
We have
spent no funds on research and development of our products. In March
of 1999, our ex-affiliate, RMF Global, hired and paid $5,275 to Vartest
Laboratories, Inc. to perform testing of the INSULTEX material. Other
than the testing performed by Vartest Laboratories, Inc, Innovative Designs,
Inc. has spent no significant funds on research and development.
The
Vartest Laboratories test results establish the buoyancy and insulation
qualities of INSULTEX. The results are as follows:

During
2005, the Company hired Texas Research Institute Austin, Inc. to perform testing
on the permeation of gas on the INSULTEX product. The testing was
based upon accepted industry practices. The permeation test resulted
in almost no detection of the gas through the INSULTEX throughout the testing
procedures.
Although
we are not aware of the need for any government approval of our principal
products, we may be subject to such approvals in the future.
United
States and foreign regulations may subject us to increased regulation costs, and
possibly fines or restrictions on conducting our business. We are
subject, directly or indirectly, to governmental regulations pertaining to the
following government agencies:
- 8
-
Federal
Trade Commission
The
product suppliers and manufacturers of our products, to the extent that they are
involved in the manufacturing, processing, formulating, packaging, labeling and
advertising of the products, may be subject to regulations by the Federal Trade
Commission which may bring injunctive action to terminate the sale of such
products, impose civil penalties, criminal prosecutions, product seizures, and
voluntary recalls. Should we or our suppliers become subject to any
such orders or actions, our brand name reputation and that of our suppliers and
products will be adversely affected and our business would be negatively
affected.
United
States Customs Service
We are
required to pay a 7.1% importation duty to the United States Customs Service on
all finished goods. All other products are 6.5% including
INSULTEX. We import INSULTEX from Indonesia from the Ketut Group, in
accordance with Innovative Design’s agreement with the Ketut Group.
United
States Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health
Administration
Because
our sub-manufacturers manufacture our completed products, we and our
sub-manufacturers will be subject to the regulations of the United States
Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health
Administration.
We are
not aware of any governmental regulations that will affect the Internet aspects
of our business. However, due to increasing usage of the Internet, a
number of laws and regulations may be adopted relating to the Internet covering
user privacy, pricing, and characteristics and quality of products and
services. Furthermore, the growth and development of Internet
commerce may prompt more stringent consumer protection laws imposing additional
burdens on those companies conducting business over the Internet. The
adoption of any additional laws or regulations may decrease the growth of the
Internet, which, in turn, could decrease the demand for Internet services and
increase the cost of doing business on the Internet. These factors
may have an adverse affect on our business, results of operations, and financial
condition.
Moreover,
the interpretation of sales tax, libel, and personal privacy laws applied to
Internet commerce is uncertain and unresolved. We may be required to
qualify to do business as a foreign corporation in each such state or foreign
country. Our failure to qualify as a foreign corporation in a
jurisdiction where we are required to do so could subject us to taxes and
penalties. Any such existing or new legislation or regulation,
including state sales tax, or the application of laws or regulations from
jurisdictions whose laws do not currently apply to our business, could have a
material adverse affect on our business, results of operations and financial
condition.
We
currently have no costs associated with compliance with environmental
regulations. Because we do not manufacture our products, but rather they are
manufactured by our sub-manufacturers, we do not anticipate any costs associated
with environmental compliance. Moreover, the delivery and distribution of our
products will not involve substantial discharge of environmental
pollutants. However, there can be no assurance that we will not incur
such costs in the future.
We
estimate that all of our revenues will be from the sale of our
products. We will sell our products at prices above our original cost
to produce our products. Prices for some of our products will be
lower than similar products of our competitors, while others will be
higher. We expect our product prices to be lower than network
marketing companies, but higher compared with retail establishments that
directly manufacture their own products.

-
Products
that are sold directly by our website will be priced according to our
Manufacturer Suggested Retail Prices. Our wholesale clients will
purchase our products at our wholesale prices. We recommend that our
retailer clients sell our products at the Manufacturer Suggested Retail Prices
that we provide to them which are the same prices for products on our website;
however, they are not required to do so and may price our products for retail
sale at their discretion. We have established M.A.P. (minimum
advertised pricing) on our Arctic Armor™ suit in an attempt to allow all
retailers and distributors carrying the line to obtain reasonable gross margin
dollars.
We
currently have a total of 4 employees, 2 of which are full time employees and 2
of which are part-time employees. We also use a consultant to head
our sales and marketing effort.
We have
no collective bargaining or employment agreements.
Reports
and Other Information to Shareholders
We are
subject to the informational requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934. Accordingly, we file annual, quarterly and other reports and information
with the Securities and Exchange Commission. You may read and copy
these reports and other information we file at the Securities and Exchange
Commission's public reference rooms in Washington, D.C., New York, New York, and
Chicago, Illinois. Our filings are also available to the public from
commercial document retrieval services and the Internet world wide website

RISK
FACTORS.

Competition
The
markets served by the Company are highly competitive. Competitive
pricing pressure could result in loss of customers or decreased profit
margins. Competition by product type includes the
following:
The
markets for our products are increasingly competitive. Our
competitors have substantially longer operating histories, greater brand name
and company name recognition, larger customer bases and greater financial,
operating, and technical resources than us. Because we are
financially and operationally smaller than our competitors, we will encounter
difficulties in capturing market share. Our competitors are able to
conduct extensive marketing campaigns and create more attractive pricing of
their target markets than we are.

The basis
for our above product claims is derived from the Vartest Lab Results, a
fiber/yarn, fabric and apparel testing firm.
INSULTEX
provides a scent barrier which we had a permeation test performed on at the
Texas Research Institute Austin, Inc. The product was subjected to
gas simulant for an eight-hour period. The product was tested for
permeation of the gas every three minutes for the duration of the test with
almost no detection of the gas throughout the test. The testing was
based upon accepted industry practices as well as the test method
used.
B. Utilize
our web site to promote, market, and sell our products to
consumers.

-
C. Utilize
professional sales representatives and manufacturer representatives to sell our
products to established retailers, especially sporting goods
retailers.
D.
|
Use
television advertising to promote our products. In mid-October
2008, we began a nationwide television advertising campaign. We
resumed this advertising in November 2009. The 60 second spots
explain the benefits of our Artic Armor line along with a video showing
the suits in a variety of outdoor
activities.
|
Our
products have the following disadvantages in comparison to the products of our
competitors:
|
·
|
Lack
of brand name recognition or recognition of the properties of INSULTEX and
its advantages. We, as well as our products, have little brand
name recognition compared to our competitors. And we may
encounter difficulties in establishing product
recognition. Also, although our products have insulation
properties, the material "down" has a widespread and established
reputation as being the superior insulation in the market, while the
properties and advantages of INSULTEX has little public
recognition.
|
There can
be no assurance that we will be able to compete in the sale of our products,
which could have a negative impact upon our business.
We do not
expect our business to be dependent on one or a few customers or retailers;
however, there is no assurance that we will not become so
dependent.
Cyclicality
The
Company’s apparel sales fluctuate based on temperature and weather
conditions. Our products are suitable primarily for cold weather
conditions. This will cause a cyclical effect on sales. It
also makes our revenues totally dependent on cold weather
Material
Acquisition
All of
the materials and items required to manufacture our products are purchased by
our manufacturer in Indonesia with the exception of the Mossy Oak material and
the Real Tree. We order the Mossy Oak material and it is delivered to
our manufacturer.
The
Company has only one supplier of INSULTEX, the special material which is
manufactured within the apparel of our products. Additionally, we
have one manufacturer that produces the apparel on behalf of the Company,
located in Indonesia. Any delays in getting INSULTEX and/or our
finished products adversely affect our revenue stream
Our
Indonesia based manufacturer, PT Lidya and Natalia, has sole discretion in the
sourcing and ordering of materials for their production runs, the costs of which
we reimburse PT Lidya and Natalia.
Geographic
Concentration
Many of
the Company’s sales to retailers are concentrated in colder climates of the
United States and Canada. To the extent that any regional economic
downturn impacts these regions, the Company will be adversely
affected.
- 12
-
Management
The
Company is dependent on the management of Joseph Riccelli, Sr., our Chief
Executive Officer. The loss of Mr. Riccelli’s services could have a
negative impact on the performance and growth of the Company for some period of
time.
Stock
Price
The
Company’s stock is thinly traded. Should a major shareholder decide
to liquidate its position, there could be a negative effect on the price of the
stock until this condition is resolved.
Penny
Stock Considerations
Our
shares are "penny stocks" as that term is generally defined in the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 as equity securities with a price of less than
$5.00. Our shares may be subject to rules that impose sales practice
and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who engage in certain transactions
involving a penny stock.
Under the
penny stock regulations, a broker-dealer selling a penny stock to anyone other
than an established customer or "accredited investor" must make a special
suitability determination regarding the purchaser and must receive the
purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the sale, unless the
broker-dealer is otherwise exempt. Generally, an individual with a
net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000
individually or $300,000 together with his or her spouse is considered an
accredited investor. In addition, under the penny stock regulations
the broker-dealer is required to:
|
·
|
Deliver,
prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule
prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the penny
stock market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise
exempt;
|
|
·
|
Disclose
commissions payable to the broker-dealer and its registered
representatives and current bid and offer quotations for the
securities;
|
|
·
|
Send
monthly statements disclosing recent price information pertaining to the
penny stock held in a customer's account, the account's value and
information regarding the limited market in penny stocks;
and
|
|
·
|
Make
a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable
investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement
to the transaction, prior to conducting any penny stock transaction in the
customer's account.
|
Because
of these regulations, broker-dealers may encounter difficulties in their attempt
to sell shares of our stock, which may affect the ability of shareholders or
other holders to sell their shares in the secondary market and have the effect
of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary
market. These additional sales practice and disclosure requirements
could impede the sale of our securities if our securities become publicly
traded. In addition, the liquidity for our securities may be adversely affected,
with a corresponding decrease in the price of our securities. Our
shares may someday be subject to such penny stock rules and our shareholders
will, in all likelihood, find it difficult to sell their
securities.
Sarbanes-Oxley
Unless
the current requirement for compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley is
changed, the Company will experience higher internal and auditing costs to
comply by the end of fiscal 2010.

In
October 2002, we arranged for the lease of warehouse space for our inventory and
raw materials at 124 Cherry Street, Etna, Pennsylvania. This facility
encompasses 13,000 square feet of storage space on the first floor and 2,000
square feet for our sales department offices located on the second
floor. We have entered into a verbal agreement with the owner of the
building and we pay $2,600 per month for the space. This facility is
composed of: (a) warehouse and storage areas including four (4) shipping bays
and a distribution area consisting of square footage to store upward of 250,000
finished goods products; and (b) four (4) offices, one (1) conference room, with
presentation area and sample display and (2) bathrooms totaling approximately
2,000 square feet located on the second floor. The building in which
our offices are located is owned by Frank Riccelli, and is subject to a $120,000
mortgage. Mr. Frank Riccelli is the brother to our Chief Executive
Officer. The condition of our leased property is good.
We do not
own any property nor do we have any plans to own any property in the
future. We do not currently intend to develop
properties. We are not subject to competitive conditions for property
and currently have no property to insure. We have no policy with
respect to investments in real estate or interests in real estate and no policy
with respect to investments in real estate mortgages. Further, we

LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS.

material or likely to result in a material effect on us based upon information
available at this time.
In 2009,
we filed a trademark application for “Arctic Armor”. A Notice of
Opposition was filed by a third party who objected to the word
“Armor”. During 2009, we reached an amicable settlement over our use
of the word.

Results
of Operations
Revenues
for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009, were $837,224 compared to revenues
of $543,137 for the comparable period in 2008. The increase in
revenues is a result of the increased demand for our Artic Amour line of
products. We also brought on new sales and distributors organizations
in 2009. The colder weather is also a factor in our level of
sales. Almost all our sales consisted of our Artic Armor line of
products with the balance being our hunting line of products.
- 17
-
Selling,
general and administrative expenses were $418,834 for the fiscal year ended
October 31, 2009, compared to $617,740 for the comparable period in
2008. The decrease is primarily on account of our increased direct
internet sales where we are able or achieve higher margins. We also did not have
any legal fees relating to our bankruptcy proceedings.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
During
the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009, we funded our operations with revenues
from sales, sales of our securities in private transactions and loans from our
Chief Executive Officer and others. We will continue to fund
operations from revenues and borrowings and the possible sale of
securities. Until we are able to secure commercial funding
arrangements we will be required to rely on these sources for our
funding.
Short
Term: We funded our operations with revenues from sales and loans from our Chief
Executive Officer and others and with the sale of our common stock in private
placements. Our ability to obtain outside funding of either debt or
equity has been adversely affected by our former status in
bankruptcy. Further, the bankruptcy status has resulted in customers
reducing their sales activity or ceasing to do business with us or all
together. The loss of this revenue had an adverse impact on the
Company’s short term liquidity. The financial institution, Enterprise
Bank, as a result of our bankruptcy proceeding, eliminated the amounts we can
borrow on our lines of credit.
Our debt
obligations consist of the following:
|
·
|
US
SBA Loan. The amount was $280,100. This was a
disaster loan assistance program. The date of the loan was July
12, 2005. The interest rate is 2.9% yearly. Payments
are $1,186 per month for thirty years. The loan is guaranteed
by our CEO and he and his spouse have pledged certain assets as collateral
for the loan. The loan was modified on January 23,
2006. The new loan amount is $430,000. The monthly
payments are $1,820 and the loan matures in July 2035. As the
loan was for a specific disaster assistance program we cannot obtain any
additional funds.
|
|
·
|
Redevelopment
Authority of Allegheny County. The amount was
$13,923. This was a business relief program loan as a result of
Hurricane Ivan. Monthly payments are $290 and there is no
interest on the loan. The loan matures in 47 months and is
personally guaranteed by our CEO and a subordinated lien has been placed
against all of the Company’s business assets. As this loan was
for a specific disaster assistance program we are not able to obtain
additional funds from this source.
|
|
·
|
James
Kearney. The principal amount of the loan is $65,000 and the
interest owed is $92,000. Interest has stopped on the
loan. Interest and principle are due and payable in full at any
time after December 10, 2005.
|
|
·
|
Dean
Kolocouris. Mr. Kolocouris is a director of the
Company. The amount of the loan is $10,000. We have repaid
$20,000 plus interest of $2,000. Interest is at 10% for 90 days
and the loan is now due on demand. This advance has been paid
in full as of January 28, 2010.
|
|
·
|
Riccelli
Properties. Riccelli Properties is owned by our
CEO. The amount of the advances is $74,000. The
advances were made on an oral basis at various times between 2004 and
2009. The advances are non-interest bearing and there are no
repayment terms.
|
- 18
-
·
|
Xunjin
Hua. The amount of the loan is $40,000. Interest is
at 10% for 90 days. The principal and interest is due on demand
on November 15, 2009. As of January 28, 2010, $22,000 has been
paid with the balance due in February
2010.
|
|

|
Frank
Riccelli. The amount of the loan is
$15,000. Interest is at 10% for 90 days. The
principal and interest is due on demand on November 15,
2009. As of January 28, 2010, the advance has been paid in
full.
|
|
·
|
Dr.
John V. Bailliet. The amount of the loan is
$10,000. Interest is at 10% for 90 days. The
principal and interest is due on demand on November 28,
2009. As of January 28, 2010, the advance has been paid in
full.
|
|
·
|
Frank
Riccelli. The amount of the loan is
$40,000. Interest is at 10% for 90 days. The
principal and interest is due on demand on January 20, 2010. As
of January 28, 2010, $22,000 has been
paid.
|
The
Company intends to repay these debt obligation with funds it generates from
revenues, from the possible sale of its securities either debt or equity, from
advances from its CEO or other stockholders or from commercial loan
arrangements. Because we cannot currently access commercial lending
facilities, should we not be able to continue to obtain funding from our CEO
and/or other individuals or sell our securities or should our revenues decrease
our operations would be severely effected as we would not be able to fund our
purchase orders to our suppliers for finished goods. The Company
continues to pay its creditors when payments are due and has been successful in
expanding its sales base into the oil and gas industry and the railroad industry
and other areas where cold weather clothing is required.
Long
Term: The Company will continue to fund operations from revenues, borrowings and
the possible sale of its securities. Should we not be able to
continue to rely on these sources our operations would be severely effected as
we would not be able to fund our purchase orders to our suppliers for finished
goods. The Company is currently pursing financing to fund its
long-term liquidity needs. We are attempting to obtain purchase order
financing which would greatly assist our cash flow and allow us to expand our
marketing efforts. We are also seeking a commercial line of
credit.

CONTROLS

Disclosure
Controls and Procedures
Management,
including our principal executive/financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness
of the design and operation of disclosure controls and procedures as of October
31, 2009 and, based on their evaluation, our principal executive/financial
officers have concluded that these controls and procedures are
ineffective. Throughout the reporting period, the Company’s former
Chief Financial Officer would calculate the Company’s monthly cost of sales and
month end inventory balances using the retail method of
accounting. Under the retail method, which is a method
widely used by merchandising firms to value or estimate ending inventory, a
“cost-to-retail” factor (a percentage) is applied to sales to determine an
estimate of the amount of inventory that was sold to produce the monthly
sales. After the Company estimated the inventory sold, it would
reduce its end of the month inventory balance by this amount. At the
end of each quarter, the Company takes physical count of the product on hand and
trues up the quarter end inventory balance. During the last quarter
of 2008, the Company performed a physical count of the products on hand at
October 31, 2008, however, it did not true up the value of the inventory on hand
in its general ledger as a result of the physical count. At the time
when the error was found, the Company maintained a separate inventory subsidiary
ledger. The error was discovered when the Company’s Chief Financial
Officer was comparing the ending balance in its inventory subsidiary ledger to
the ending inventory balance in the general ledger. The total
cumulative amount for the fourth quarter was $16,653.
With the
discovery of this error, the Company ceased using the retail method of
accounting to account for its monthly cost of sales and ending inventory
balances, effective February 2009. The Company also purchased
integrated inventory software that tracks purchases and sales of inventory using
actual inventory values rather than a factor under the retail method of
accounting. The Company began using this software effective February
1, 2009. With the purchase of the inventory software and no longer
using the retail method of accounting, Management believes the change in its
controls and procedures will mitigate errors from occurring in inventory with
respect to inventory cost.
Effective
March 19, 2008, our Chief Executive Officer temporarily assumed the duties of
the Chief Financial Officer.
Management’s
Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
controls over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13-15(f) of the Securities
Exchange Act. Our management determined that our internal control
over financial reporting was effective as of October 31, 2008.
Our
management has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal
control over financial reporting as of October 31, 2008, based on the framework
and criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
This
annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered
public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial
reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the
Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only
management’s report in this annual report.
There
have been no significant changes in our internal control over financial
reporting during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009 and 2008, or subsequent
to October 31, 2009, that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, except as
discussed above.

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Thereafter he has acted as a consultant

Audit
Committee
We do not
have a separate standing Audit Committee. Therefore, our entire Board
of Directors acts as the Audit Committee. The Board of Directors has
determined that Mr. Dean Kolocouris is its financial expert. Mr.
Kolocouris is a loan officer for a bank and has a degree in
Finance.
Nominating
and Compensation Committees
We do not
have either a nominating committee or a compensation committee. The
basis for the Board of Directors to not have a nominating committee is the fact
that our principal stockholder who is also our CEO and Chairman of the Board
controls approximately sixty percent of the voting stock. And the
Company has never held an Annual Meeting of stockholders. New board
members are recommended to the Board by the Chairman of the Board.
Board of
Directors Meetings
During
the last full fiscal year there were three meetings of the Board of
Directors.
Code of
Ethics
We have
not, as yet, adopted a code of ethics. We have only one full time
executive officer/ chief financial officer who also acts as our principal
accounting officer. To date, our operations have been so minimal and
our staff so small that we have not considered a formal standard relating to the
conduct of our personnel.

Except
for $15,000 paid in December 2009, our Chief Executive Officer has not been paid
any compensation since inception.
There are
no employment agreements between us and our executive officer Joseph Riccelli,
Sr. There are no change of control arrangements, either by means of a
compensatory plan, agreement, or otherwise, involving our current or former
executive officers. There are no automobile lease agreements or key
man life insurance policies that are to the benefit of our executive officers,
in which we would make such payments. There are no standard or other
arrangements in which our directors are compensated for any services as a
director, including any additional amounts payable for committee participation
or special assignments. In December 2007, all of the directors except
Mr. Riccelli were awarded 25,000 shares each of our common
stock. There are no other arrangements in which any of our directors
were compensated during our last fiscal year for any service provided as a
director.
Other
than Mr. Ricelli, who is our CEO, the Board of Directors considers the remaining
Directors Messrs. Monsour, Koloccouris and Rains to be independent
directors.

CERTAIN
RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED
TRANSACTIONS.

Our
officers and directors may encounter conflicts of interests between our business
objectives and their own interests. We have not formulated a policy
for the resolution of such conflicts. Future transactions or arrangements
between or among our officers, directors and shareholders, and businesses they
control, may result in conflicts of interest, and the conflicts may be resolved
in favor of businesses that our officers or directors are affiliated, which may
have an adverse affect on our revenues.
Our
officers and directors have the following conflicts of interests:
|
·
|
We
lease our executive offices from Riccelli Properties, which is solely
owned by our Chief Executive Officer, Joseph Riccelli, Sr., for which we
pay $700 per month for a total of $8,400 per year and we lease our
warehouse space from the brother of our Chief Financial
Officer. We pay $2,600 per month for a total of $31,200 per
year.
|
- 24
-
We have
received advances from some of our Executive officers and
directors.
|
·
|
We
received various advances from Riccelli Properties from 2004 through
2009. We currently owe approximately $74,000 on the advances;
there are no written loan documents to evidence these
advances. There is no interest rate on the advances and the
advances have no specified repayment
terms.

Independence
of Board Members
The
Company has adopted the NASDAQ Listing Rules; Rule 5605 and 5605 (a) (20, for
determining the independence of its directors. Directors are deemed
independent only if the Board affirmatively determines that the director has no
material relationship with the Company directly or as an officer, share owner or
partner of an entity that has a relationship with the Company or any other
relationship which, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with the
exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a
director.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’
REPORT
To the
Shareholders and Board of Directors
Innovative Designs, Inc.
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
We have
audited the accompanying balance sheet of Innovative Designs, Inc. as of October
31, 2009, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' deficit, and
cash flows for the years ended October 31, 2009 and 2008. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audits 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 includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our
opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Innovative Designs, Inc. as of
October 31, 2009, and the results of its operations, and its cash flows for the
years ended October 31, 2009 and 2008, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company
will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the
financial statements, the Company has incurred significant losses from
operations and has working capital and stockholders’
deficiencies. These factors raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans
in regard to this matter are also discussed in Note 2. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
these uncertainies.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
Nature of Operations
- Innovative Designs, Inc. (the “Company”), which was incorporated in the State
of Delaware on June 25, 2002, markets cold weather recreational and industrial
clothing products that are made from INSULTEX, a low density foamed
polyethylene, a material with buoyancy, scent block, and thermal resistant
properties. These products are offered and sold by retailers,
distributors, and companies throughout the United States, Canada, Russia and
Finland.
Basis of Accounting -
The financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in
which revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recognized when
incurred.
Fiscal Year End - The
Company’s fiscal year ends on October 31.
Estimates - 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 reported amounts and
disclosures. Actual results may differ from these estimates and
assumptions.
Cash and Cash
Equivalents - The Company defines cash and cash equivalents as those
highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or
less.
Revenue Recognition -
The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement
exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and
collectibility is probable. Revenue is derived from sales of the
Company’s recreational products such as artic armor, stadium packs, floating
swimwear and hunting apparel. Sales of these items are recognized
when the items are shipped. The Company offers a 5 day return policy
and no warranty on all of its products. All sales outside the United
States are entered into using the U.S. dollar as its functional
currency.
Financial Instruments
- Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market
assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of October 31,
2009 and 2008. The respective carrying value of certain
on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair
values. These financial instruments include cash, accounts
receivable, accounts payable and notes payable. Fair values were
assumed to approximate carrying values for these financial instruments because
they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair
values. The carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt
approximated its fair value based on the current market conditions for similar
debt instruments.
Allowance for Bad
Debts - The Company considers all accounts receivable balances to be
fully collectable at October 31, 2009, accordingly, no allowance for doubtful
accounts is provided. If amounts become uncollectible, they will be
charged to operations when the determination is made.
Inventory - Inventory
consists principally of purchased finished goods. Inventory is stated
at the lower of cost or market on a first-in, first-out basis.

DESIGNS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
Property and
Equipment - Property and equipment are recorded at
cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight line method over
the estimated useful lives of the related assets.
Property
and equipment are summarized by major classification as follows:
Equipment
|
7
years
|
Furniture
and fixtures
|
7
years
|
Leasehold
improvements
|
5
years
|
Automobiles
|
5
years
|
Maintenance
and repairs are charged to operating expenses as incurred, significant
improvements are capitalized. When property is sold or otherwise
disposed of, the asset account and related accumulated depreciation account are
relieved, and any gain or loss is included in operations.
Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets - The Company reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets
annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
historical cost-carrying value of an asset may no longer be
appropriate. The Company assesses recoverability of the carrying
value of the asset by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result
from the asset, including eventual disposition. If the future net
cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is
recorded equal to the difference between the asset's carrying value and fair
value. There was no impairment of long-lived assets during
2009.
Income Taxes - The
Company follows FASB ASC 740 "Accounting for Income Taxes" for recording the
provision for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income
tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate
applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or
settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the
changes in the asset or liability each period. If available evidence
suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the
deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to
reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be
realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in
the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change.
Net Income (Loss) Per Common
Share - The Company calculates net income (loss) per share as required by
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards FASB ASC 260, "Earnings per
Share." Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net
income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for
the period. The Company did not compute dilutive earnings per share
because there is only one class of stock.
Stock-Based
Compensation - The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to
employees for services based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued
and accounts for equity instruments issued to other than employees based on the
fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity
instruments, whichever is more reliably measurable.

DESIGNS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
The
Company accounts for stock based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718,
“Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." The provisions of FASB ASC
718 allow companies to either expense the estimated fair value of stock options
or to continue to follow the intrinsic value method set forth in APB Opinion 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25) but disclose the pro forma
effects on net income (loss) had the fair value of the options been
expensed. The Company has elected to continue to apply APB 25 in
accounting for its stock option incentive plans.
New Accounting
Pronouncements - In June 2009, FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 166, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140,
Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of
Liabilities. This statement removes the concept of a
qualifying special – purpose entity from Statement 140 and removes the exception
from applying FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest
Entities, to qualifying special purpose entities. Furthermore,
this Statement clarifies that the objective of paragraph 9 of Statement 140 is
to determine whether a transferor and all of the entities included in the
transferor’s financial statements being presented have surrendered control over
transferred financial assets and limits the circumstances in which a financial
asset, or portion of a financial asset, should be derecognized when the
transferor has not transferred the entire original financial asset to an entity
that is not consolidated with the transferor in the financial statements being
presented and/or when the transferor has continuing involvement with the
transferred financial asset. This Statement must be applied as of the
beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins
after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting
period and for interim and annual reporting periods
thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. This
statement must be applied to transfers occurring on or after the effective
date. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, that the
issuance of this Statement will have on its financial statements.
In June
2009, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 167, an
amendment of FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest
Entities. This Statement amends Interpretation 46(R) to
require an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine whether the
enterprise’s variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial
interest in a variable interest entity. This analysis identifies the
primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity as the enterprise that has
both of the following characteristics:
|
a)
|
The
power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most
significantly impact the entity’s economic
performance.
|
|
b)
|
The
obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be
significant to the variable interest entity or the right to receive
benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the
variable interest entity.
|
Additionally,
an enterprise is required to assess whether it has an implicit financial
responsibility to ensure that a variable interest entity operates as designed
when determining whether it has the power to direct the activities of the
variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic
performance.
This
Statement shall be effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s
first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim
periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual
reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application
is prohibited. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any,
that the issuance of this Statement will have on its financial
statements.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
In
October 2009, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-13 that provides
amendments to the criteria in FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC)
Subtopic 605-25, Revenue
Recognition – Multiple Element Arrangements for separating consideration
in multiple-deliverable arrangements. As a result of those
amendments, multiple-deliverable arrangements will be separated in more
circumstances than under existing U.S. GAAP. The amendments in this
Update establish a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of
a deliverable, utilizing vendor-specific objective evidence if available,
third-party evidence if vendor-specific objective evidence is not available, or
estimated selling price if neither vendor-specific objective evidence nor
third-party evidence is available. Furthermore, the Update will
replace the term fair
value in the revenue allocation guidance with selling price to clarify that
the allocation of revenue is based on entity-specific assumptions rather than
assumptions of a marketplace participant. Lastly, the amendments in
this Update will eliminate the residual method of allocation, requiring that the
arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to
all deliverables and also require that a vendor determine its best estimate of
selling price in a manner that is consistent with that used to determine the
price to sell the deliverable on a standalone basis. This Update is
effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15,
2010. Earlier application is permitted. The Company is
currently assessing the impact, if any, that the issuance of this Update will
have on its financial statements.
In
October 2009, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-14 that provides
amendments to the criteria in FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC)
Subtopic 985-605, Software –
Revenue Recognition. The amendments in this Update change the
accounting model for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products
and software elements. Tangible products containing software
components and nonsoftware components that function together to deliver the
tangible product’s essential functionality are no longer within the scope of the
software revenue guidance in Subtopic 985-605. In addition, the
amendments in this Update require that hardware components of a tangible product
containing software components always be excluded from the software revenue
guidance. In that regard, the amendments in this Update provide
additional guidance on how to determine which software, if any, relating to the
tangible product also would be excluded from the scope of software revenue
guidance. This Update is effective for fiscal years beginning on or
after June 15, 2010. Earlier application is
permitted. This Update will not have a material impact on the
financial statements of the Company.
In
October 2009, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-15 that provides
amendments to the criteria in FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC)
Subtopic 470-20, Debt – Debt
with Conversion and Other Options. The amendments as outlined
within this Update provide accounting and reporting guidance for debt (and
certain preferred stock) with specific conversion features and other
options. This Update is effective for fiscal years beginning on or
after December 15, 2009 and interim periods with those fiscal years for
outstanding arrangements and is effective for interim or annual periods
beginning on or after June 15, 2009 for arrangements entered into in those
periods. Early application is prohibited. This Update will
not have a material impact on the financial statements of the
Company.

In
December 2009, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-16 that amends
the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the issuance of FASB Statement
No. 166, Accounting for
Transfers of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No.
140. The amendments in this Accounting Standards Update
improve financial reporting by eliminating the exceptions for qualifying
special-purpose entities from the consolidation guidance and the exception that
permitted sale accounting for certain mortgage securitizations when a transferor
has not surrendered control over the transferred financial assets. In
addition, the amendments require enhanced disclosures about the risks that a
transferor continues to be exposed to because of its continuing involvement in
transferred financial assets. Comparability and consistency in
accounting for transferred financial assets will also be improved through
clarifications of the requirements for isolation and limitations on portions of
financial assets that are eligible for sale accounting. This Update
must be applied as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual
reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within
that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods
thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. This
statement must be applied to transfers occurring on or after the effective
date. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, that the
issuance of this Update will have on its financial statements.
In
December 2009, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-17 that amends
the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the issuance of FASB Statement
No. 167, Amendments to FASB
Interpretation No. 46(R). The amendments in this Accounting
Standards Update replace the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation
for determining which reporting entity, if any, has a controlling financial
interest in a variable interest entity with an approach focused on identifying
which reporting entity has the power to direct the activities of a variable
interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance
and (1) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or (2) the right to
receive benefits from the entity. An approach that is expected to be primarily
qualitative will be more effective for identifying which reporting entity has a
controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. The
amendments in this Update also require additional disclosures about a reporting
entity’s involvement in variable interest entities, which will enhance the
information provided to users of financial statements. This Update
shall be effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual
reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within
that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods
thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. The Company
is currently assessing the impact, if any, that the issuance of this Update will
have on its financial statements.
In
January 2010, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-01 that clarifies
that the stock portion of a distribution to shareholders that allows them to
elect to receive cash or stock with a potential limitation on the total amount
of cash that all shareholders can elect to receive in the aggregate is
considered a share issuance that is reflected in EPS prospectively and is not a
stock dividend for purposes of applying Topics 505 and 260 (Equity and Earnings
Per Share). This Update is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2009. Early application is prohibited. This
Update will not have a material impact on the financial statements of the
Company.

In
January 2010, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-02 that provides
amendments to Subtopic 810-10 and related guidance within U.S. GAAP to clarify
the scope of the decrease in ownership provisions of the Subtopic and related
guidance. The amendments
in this Update also clarify that the decrease in ownership guidance does not
apply to certain transactions even if they involve businesses. This
Update is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15,
2009. This update is only applicable to companies that have
previously adopted ACS 810 (formerly known as FAS 160). This Update
will not have a material impact on the financial statements of the
Company.

GOING CONCERN AND
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
|
The
Company's financial statements are presented on a going concern basis, which
contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the
normal course of business.
The
Company has experienced significant losses from operations. In
addition, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $5,600,832 at October 31,
2009.
The
Company's ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon its ability
to expand its operations and secure additional financing. The Company
is currently pursuing financing for its operations and seeking to expand its
operations. Failure to secure such financing or expand its operations
may result in the Company not being able to continue as a going
concern.
The
financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible
future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts
and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of
the Company to continue as a going concern.
On July
30, 2008, Elio D. Cattan and Eliotex srl filed a Motion to Strike Satisfaction
of Judgment in the action filed at 04-00593 in the United States District Court
for the Western District of Pennsylvania. The basis for the relief
requested was Cattan’s averment that Innovative Designs defrayed certain of the
expenses in Greystone, Inc.’s litigation in the United States, and that
assistance violated Pennsylvania public policy regarding champerty and
maintenance.
On
February 5, 2009, The Honorable Arthur J. Schwab entered an Order on the Motion
of Elio Cattan and Eliotex, SRL (collectively, “Cattan”) to strike the
assignment and satisfaction of judgment filed at Docket No. 04-00593 by Elite
Properties, LLC. Counsel for Innovative Designs, Inc. sought to
preclude the District Court from rendering any determination on the merits as to
the ownership of the Judgment or the propriety of the State Court execution
proceedings by which ownership of the Judgment was transferred.
The
District Court did not adopt or substantiate the legal argument brought forward
by Counsel for Cattan, and did not render any findings on the merits that would
disturb Elite Properties, LLC’s ownership of the IDI Judgment at the time it was
satisfied.
On March
31, 2009, Eliotex, srl (“Eliotex”) and Elio Cattan (“Cattan”) filed a Motion to
Strike Assignment and Satisfaction of Judgment in the Court of Common Pleas of
Allegheny County, Pennsylvania at Case No. GD-06-011327. The Motion
requests that the Court invalidate State Court execution proceedings on the
default judgment entered against Eliotex and Cattan by Greystone, Inc.
(“Greystone”) by which Greystone purchased at Sheriff Sale the default judgment
against IDI entered in favor of Eliotex and Cattan in Italian arbitration
proceedings and confirmed by the District Court. The Motion further
requests that the Court strike the purchase of an assignment of that judgment
from Greystone, and its subsequent satisfaction, by Elite Properties,
LLC. IDI consented to the issuance of a Rule to Show Cause why the
relief should not be granted.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
On June
10, 2009, Eliotex and Cattan filed a Verification to their
Motion. IDI filed its Answer to Rule to Show Cause on June 23,
2009. Eliotex and Cattan conducted no discovery within the 60 day
time period provided for by the Order issuing the Rule, and no oral argument on
the Rule has been requested.
On
January 22, 2010 , counsel for IDI and Eliotex/Cattan participated in a oral
argument before the Honorable R. Stanton Wettick, Jr. of the Court of Common
Pleas of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania on the Rule to Show Cause regarding
Eliotex/Cattan’s Motion to Strike Assignment of Judgement. The Judge heard
arguments, and has asked the parties to brief two issues: (1) whether
Eliotex/Cattan have standing to challenge the assignment from Greystone to Elite
Properties; and (2) whether the dealings between IDI and Greystone constitute
champerty and maintenance.
Counsel
for IDI is confident that the Motion will be adjudicated in favor of Innovative
Designs, Inc. The Motion is based on the grounds that the District
Court expressly refused to adopt, and is being adjudicated by Judge Wettick,,
who in 2007 upheld the propriety of the execution proceedings at the time of a
prior challenge by Eliotex/Cattan.

In July
2005, the Company received a no interest loan with Redevelopment Authority of
Allegheny County in the amount of $13,923. The Company qualified for
a loan due to the significant loss of inventory, raw materials, and equipment
when its leased warehouse, in which it maintained these items, was flooded by
the remnants of Hurricane Ivan in September 2004. The loan is to be
repaid over a forty-seven month period in equal payments of approximately $290,
commencing July 1, 2006. The loan balance was $689 at October 31,
2009.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
In July
2005, the Company was approved for a low interest promissory note from the U.S.
Business Administration in the amount of $280,100. The Company
qualified for the loan due to the significant loss of inventory, raw materials,
and equipment when its leased warehouse, in which it maintained these items, was
flooded by the remnants of Hurricane Ivan in September 2004. The note
bears interest at an annual rate of 2.9%. Monthly installment
payments, including principal and interest, will be $1,186 beginning five
months
from the
date of the promissory note. The note will be payable over 30
years. Certain guarantees of collateral were made by the Company’s
Chief Executive Officer and shareholder, Joseph Riccelli to service the
note. The Company is to use the loan proceeds to repair or replace
the following: approximately $6,200 for machinery and equipment; approximately
$80,100 for furniture and fixtures; approximately $148,700 for inventory; and
approximately $45,100 for working capital. The Company has received
the full amount of this loan at October 31, 2005. In January 2006 the Company
amended the promissory note with the Small Business Administration increasing
the principal balance to $430,500. The note still bears an annual interest rate
of 2.9% and matures on July 13, 2035. Monthly payments, including

EXCLUSIVE LICENSING
AND MANUFACTURING AGREEMENT
|
On April
16, 2006, the Company entered into an Exclusive License and Manufacturing
Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Ketut Group, with an effective date of
April 1, 2006, whereby the Company acquired an exclusive license to develop,
use, sell, manufacture and market products related to or utilizing INSULTEX™,
Korean Patent Number, (0426429) or any Insultex Technology. At the
behest of the Board of Directors, the Insultex trademark was chosen as the mark
to identify the product utilized by Innovative since its inception, and was
originally registered by Joseph Riccelli on February 17, 2005. The
new trademark, intended to avoid confusion arising from the use of the old
Eliotex trademark in association with a new, subsequent, different and
separately-patented product, was assigned by Mr. Riccelli to the Company on
April 25, 2006, with that assignment to become effective upon final approval of
the Statement of Use by the United States Patent and Trademark
Office. The License was awarded by the Korean inventor, an individual
who is part of the Ketut Group, and the manufacturer of
INSULTEX™. The Company received an exclusive forty (40) year
worldwide license, except for Korea and Japan, with an initial term of ten (10)
years and an option to renew the License for up to three (3) successive ten (10)
year terms. Additionally, the Company was granted the exclusive
rights to any current or future inventions, improvements, discoveries, patent
applications and letters of patent which the Ketut Group controls or may control
related to INSULTEX™. Furthermore, the Company has the right to grant
sub-licenses to other manufacturers for the use of INSULTEX™ or any Insultex
Technology.

INCOME
TAXES

The
Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, which requires use of the
liability method. FASB ASC 740 provides that deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the tax bases of
assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting
purposes, referred to as temporary differences. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities at the end of each period are determined using the currently enacted
tax rates applied to taxable income in the periods in which the deferred tax
assets and liabilities are expected to be settled or realized.

October 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, which can be carried forward through
October 31, 2029. The principal difference between the net operating
loss for book purposes and income tax purposes results from common shares issued
for services aggregating of $216,350 and $6,000 at October 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively.
FASB
Interpretation 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. This
interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes
recognized in enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB ASC 740,
Accounting for Income Taxes. The interpretation prescribes a
recognition threshold and measurement attributable for the financial statement
recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a
tax return. The Company does not believe this will have an impact on
the financial statements.
