NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Three Month Period Ended January 31, 2018 and 2017 (Unaudited)

The Company calculates net income (loss) per share in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 260 “Earnings per Share”. Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. During the periods presented, the Company only has common stock outstanding. As a result, diluted earnings per share was not calculated.

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740 “Income Taxes”, which requires an asset and liability approach for financial reporting purposes.

Deferred income taxes are provided for differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and the financial reporting amounts at the end of the period, and for net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards available to offset future taxable income. Changes in enacted tax rates or laws result in adjustments to recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities in the periods in which the tax laws are enacted or tax rates are changed. The Company will continue to evaluate its income tax obligation throughout the year and will record a tax provision when it is necessary.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Three Month Period Ended January 31, 2018 and 2017 (Unaudited)

The Company pays shipping and handling costs on behalf of customers for purchased apparel merchandise. These costs are billed back to the customer through the billing invoice. The shipping and handling costs associated with merchandise ordered by the Company are included as part of inventory as these costs are allocated across the merchandise received. With House Wrap orders, the customer pays the shipping cost. The shipping and handling costs associated with customer orders was approximately $5,500 and $7,900 for the three month periods ended January 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

During the three month period ended January 31, 2018, the Company sold 351,000 shares of common stock to three investors for total proceeds of $111,560. The stock was issued for prices from $0.30 - $0.32 per share. In addition, the Company issued 50,000 shares to one individual for services performed during the period. The shares issued were valued at $0.40 per share for a price of $20,000. We believe that Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, was available because these transactions did not involve a public offering and there was no general solicitation or general advertising involved in these transactions. We placed legends on the stock certificates stating that the securities were not registered under the Securities Act and set forth the restrictions on their transferability and sale.

During the three month period ended January 31, 2017 the Company issued no stock.

On July 12, 2015 the Company reached an agreement with Ketut Jaya to purchase the machinery and equipment utilized to produce the INSULTEX material. The purchase price is $700,000 which was to be paid in four installments. The first installment of $300,000 was to be paid at the execution of the agreement. The second installment of $200,000 was to be paid when the machinery and equipment is ready to be shipped to the United States. The third installment of $100,000 is to be paid once the machinery and equipment is producing INSULTEX, and the fourth and final installment of $100,000 is to made after the first commercial production run of INSULTEX is completed. As of January 31, 2018, the Company has made payments of $500,000 in accordance with the agreement, and made an advanced payment of $100,000 as the machine is not yet producing INSULTEX. Additionally, the Company has incurred $17,000 of additional expenses related to shipping, site improvements and installation of the equipment.

We have organized our operations into two segments. We rely on an internal management reporting process that provides segment information for purposes of making financial decisions and allocating resources.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Three Month Period Ended January 31, 2018 and 2017 (Unaudited)

The following tables present our business segment information for the three month period ended January 31, 2018 and 2017:

On November 4, 2016, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) filed a complaint against the Company in the U.S. District Court Western District of Pennsylvania, number 16-1669. In the complaint, the FTC alleges, that, among other matters, the Company does not have substantiation of claims made by the Company regarding the R value and energy efficiency of its INSULTEX House Wrap products. The complaint asks as redress of rescission of revenue the Company received from the sale of House Wrap and a permanent injunction. The parties are currently in the expert discovery phase.

The Company strongly denies the allegation and intends to vigorously defend itself. It is the Company’s belief that the complaint is based on improper testing of the INSULTEX products using the wrong type of testing equipment.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events in accordance with ASC Topic 855, “Subsequent Events”, through March 14, 2018, which is the date financial statements were available to be issued. The Company identified the below subsequent events. 

The Company sold 256,250 shares to two individuals for total proceeds of $80,000.

The Company verbally extended the Riccelli Properties note with no set maturity date.

General

Background

Innovative Designs, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as the “Company”, “we” or “our”) was formed on June 25, 2002. We market and sell clothing products such as outdoor apparel, and cold weather gear called “Arctic Armor” that are made from INSULTEX, a material with buoyancy, scent block and thermal resistant properties. We also market our House Wrap product line which is a building material with thermal qualities. House Wrap is also made from INSULTEX. We obtain INSULTEX through a license agreement with the owner and manufacturer of the material. Since our formation we have devoted our efforts to:

In an attempt to increase global business we recently entered into two separate agreements to market INSULTEX to the military market of India and to enter the apparel market in the United States.

INNOVATIVE DESIGNS, INC.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the Three Month Period Ended January 31, 2018 with the Three Month Period Ended January 31, 2017.

Revenues for the three month period ended January 31, 2018 were $116,203 compared to revenues of $169,210 for the three month period ended January 31, 2017. The decrease in revenue is attributable to the FTC matter with regard to our House Wrap products as we no longer advertise the insulating quality of these products. The decrease in revenue for our apparel products is attributable to the fact that we are devoting significant portion of our limited resources to the FTC matter. See Note 9 of the Notes to the Condensed Financial Statements appearing elsewhere in this Report for a description of our segment products sales. Our net loss for the three month period ended January 31, 2018 was ($146,249).

Our selling, general and administrative expenses were $190,811 for the three month period ended January 31, 2018 compared to $202,838 for the three month period ended January 31, 2017. Professional fees for the period ended January 31, 2018 were $95,206 compared to $58,211 for the three month period ended January 31, 2017. The majority of our professional fees relate to the legal fees incurred in connection to the FTC matter. We expect our professional fees to continue to be substantial during the course of this legal matter.

INNOVATIVE DESIGNS, INC.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the period ended January 31, 2018, we funded our operations from revenues from sales and sale of our common stock.

Short Term: We will continue to fund our operations from sales and the sale of our securities. We continue to pay our creditors when payments are due. We will require more funds to be able to order the material for our INSULTEX products and to purchase equipment needed for the manufacture of the INSULTEX product. The Company reached an agreement with the manufacturer of the INSULTEX material to purchase a machine capable of producing the INSULTEX material. Also included in the proposed agreement will be the propriety formula that creates INSULTEX. The Company took delivery of the equipment in December 2015. The Company will have to have the machine installed and ensure that it can be operated in compliance with all environmental rules and regulations. The Company has not made an estimate of the cost required for bringing the operation of the machine into compliance with the environmental regulations but it is considered to be a substantial amount. We are in the permitting stage relating to environmental issues necessary to begin the installation of the equipment. The Company has currently made deposits of $600,000 on the equipment. The Company has incurred $17,000 of additional expenses related to shipping. The Company will produce INSULTEX under its own brand name. See Note 8 of the Notes to the Condensed Financial Statements.

Long Term: The Company will continue to fund its operations from revenues, borrowings from private parties and the possible sale of our securities. Should we not be able to rely on the private sources for borrowing and /or increased sales, our operations would be severely affected as we would not be able to fund our purchase orders to our suppliers for finished goods and our efforts to produce our own INSULTEX would be delayed.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

The Company is engaged in a matter with the Federal Trade Commission. A Form 8-K filed November 4, 2016, describing this matter is incorporated herein by reference.

During the three-month period ended January 31, 2018, the Company sold 351,000 shares of common stock to three investors for total proceeds of $111,560. The stock was issued for prices from $0.30 - $0.32 per share. In addition, the Company issued 50,000 shares to one individual for services performed during the period. The shares issued were valued at $0.40 per share for a price of $20,000. We believe that Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, was available because these transactions did not involve a public offering and there was no general solicitation or general advertising involved in these transactions. We placed legends on the stock certificates stating that the securities were not registered under the Securities Act and set forth the restrictions on their transferability and sale.

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information otherwise required by this Item.

Management has developed and implemented a policy and procedures for reviewing, on a quarterly basis, our disclosure controls and procedures. During the period ended January 31, 2018, our principle executive/financial officer concluded that these controls and procedures were ineffective. At this time we do not have the financial resources to employ a financial staff with accounting and financial expertise. Once we have the necessary financial resources, we plan to hire and designate an individual responsible for identifying reportable developments and to implement procedures designed to remediate the material weakness by focusing additional attention and resources in our internal accounting functions. During the first quarter of 2018, the Company was not able to close the books and records in a timely fashion. Consequently, the Company was unable to file its Form 10-Q for the period ended January 31, 2018 within the timeline established by the SEC and was required to seek an extension for filing the form.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the most recent fiscal quarter, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13(a)-15 or 15d-15 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Until the Company has the financial resources to employ a financial staff with accounting and financial expertise, to be able to properly account for internal financial reporting, errors that may have a material effect on the financial statements have the potential to occur.
