NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Three and Nine Month Periods Ended July 31, 2020 and 2019 (Unaudited)

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly Innovative Designs, Inc.’s financial position as of July 31, 2020, the changes therein for the three and nine month periods then ended and the results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended July 31, 2020 and 2019.

The financial statements included in the Form 10-Q are presented in accordance with the requirements of the Form and do not include all of the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. For additional information, reference is made to the Innovative Designs, Inc.’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019. The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended July 31, 2020 and 2019 are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the full year.

During the quarter ended April 30, 2019, the Company implemented Accounting Standards Update 2016-02, Leases. Under the new guidance, a lessee must be recorded a liability for lease payments (referred to as the lease liability) and an asset for the right to use the leased asset during the lease term (referred to at the right of use asset) for all leases, regardless of whether they are designated as finance or operating leases. This election requires the lessee to recognize lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The right of use assets and corresponding right of use liabilities have been recorded using the present value of the leases. See Notes 11 and 12 within the financial statement for additional disclosure on leases

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company had a net loss of $185,289 and a negative cash flow from operations of $146,690 for the nine month period ended July 31, 2020. In addition, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $9,753,995. Management’s plans include cash receipts through sales, sales of Company stock, and borrowings from private parties. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Management evaluates its receivables on a quarterly basis to assess the validity of remaining receivables. Management has determined that there is significant doubt regarding the receivable balance over 90 days of $5,860 and $10,409 as of the July 31, 2020 and October 31, 2019, respectively. Management has applied an allowance on all balances in excess of 90 days.

Three and Nine Month Periods Ended July 31, 2020 and 2019 (Unaudited)

Inventory consists principally of purchased apparel inventory and House Wrap which is manufactured by the Company. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company has decided to discontinue the selling of its hunting and swimming line of apparel. The Company has booked a reserve against apparel inventory at July 31, 2020 and October 31, 2019 of $75,468. Management has determined that no allowance is currently necessary on their House Wrap Inventory. Management will continue to evaluate its obsolete inventory reserve throughout the year and make adjustments as needed.

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.

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 $4,400 for both the nine month periods ended July 31, 2020 and 2019.

Three and Nine Month Periods Ended July 31, 2020 and 2019 (Unaudited)

During the nine month period ended July 31, 2020, the Company sold 1,000,000 shares of common stock to investors for total proceeds of $158,500. The stock was issued between $0.10 and $0.20 per share.

During the nine month period ended July 31, 2019, the Company sold 962,000 shares of common stock to seven investors for total proceeds of $121,440. The stock was issued between $0.08 and $0.17 per share. Additionally, during the nine month period ended July 31, 2019, 550,000 shares of common stock were issued to one note holder for the extinguishment of a $50,000 note payable and $5,000 of accrued interest. This stock was issued at $0.10 per share.

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 be made after the first commercial production run of INSULTEX is completed. As of July 31, 2020, the Company has made payments of $500,000 in accordance with the agreement and made a $100,000 pre-payment 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. Due to various environmental regulations regarding propane emitted from the machine into the air and other costs to assemble the machine the Company expects to incur costs in excess of the current deposit agreement. Management of the Company currently cannot reasonably estimate the costs. During the six month period ended April 30, 2019 Management decided to sell the machine. The shipping and other purchase costs associated with the purchase of the machine that were originally capitalized as part of the machine cost that were written off. The total loss on impairment for the six month period ended April 30, 2019 was $17,000.

The Company entered into a month to month verbal lease at the time the Company was formed that is classified as right of use asset and lease liability. The lease for the Company’s office space is estimated to be through June 2022. In accordance with ASU 2016-02, the Company calculated the present value of the leases using the average commercial real estate interest rate of 5.50% at the commencement of the office lease. Applying the commercial rate, the Company calculated the present value of $150,496 for the office lease as of July 31, 2020.

General

The following information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto and in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding future results of operation, made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements. We use words such as expects, believes, intends, and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. Forward looking-looking statements reflect management’s current expectations and are inherently uncertain. Actual results could differ materially for a variety of reasons, including, among others, an adverse outcome in our legal matter with the Federal Trade Commission, competition in our cold weather markets, our inability to secure sufficient funding to maintain and/or expand our current level of operations and the seasonality of our cold weather product line. These risks and uncertainties, as well as other risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ significantly from management’s expectations, are described in greater detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicity update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise except as required by law.

The following table shows a comparison of the results of operations between the three month periods ended July 31, 2020 and July 31, 2019:

Revenues for the three month period ended July 31, 2020 were $90,814 compared to revenues of $34,149 for the three month period ended July 31, 2019. The increase in was a result of more sales of our House Wrap product. we voluntarily ceased advertising our House Wrap products as a result of the legal action brought by the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”). See Note 13 of the Notes to the Condensed Financial Statements appearing elsewhere in this Report for a description of our segment product sales.

Our selling, general and administrative expenses were $99,681 for the three months ended July 31, 2020 compared to $ 127,604 for the three month period ended July 31, 2019. The decrease was a result , in part, to the fact that we furlough two employees. As a result of having to shut down our operations because of the coronovirus pandemic. 

INNOVATIVE DESIGNS, INC.

 Comparison of the Nine Month Period Ended July 31, 2020 with the Nine Month Period Ended July 31, 2019.

The following table shows a comparison of the results of operations between the six month periods ended July 31, 2020 and July 31, 2019:

Revenues for the nine month period ended July 31, 2020 were $174,048 compared to revenues of $188,736 for the nine month period ended July 31, 2019. The decrease was caused, in part, by the mandatory order to close our business on account of the coronovirus pandemic.. In December 2016, we voluntarily ceased advertising our House Wrap products as a result of the legal action brought by the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”). See Note 13 of the Notes to the Condensed Financial Statements appearing elsewhere in this Report for a description of our segment product sales. During the nine month period ended July 31, 2020 our apparel sales were $52,396 in comparison with $111,275 during the nine month period ended July 31, 2019. .

Our selling, general and administrative expenses were $271,838 for the nine months ended July 31, 2020 compared to $567,709 for the nine month period ended July 31, 2019. The increase was a result of our third party warehouse for inventory charging us $104,000 in relation to storage of inventory. We do not expect our seasonal help expense or advertising and promotional expenses to increase in the current fiscal year ending October 31, 2020. During the period we furloughed two of our employees.

INNOVATIVE DESIGNS, INC.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the period ended July 31, 2020, we funded our operations from revenues from sales and sale of our common stock. During the three month period ended July 31, 2020, we sold our common stock in private transactions and raised $37,000 from the sales. If we are not able to either increase our sales revenue or sell more of our common stock during the current quarter, we may not able to support our current cost structure.

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. 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 It is the Company’s current plan to sell 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 and other purchase cost which was written off during 2019. See Note 10 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.

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 July 31, 2020, 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, second, third and fourth quarter of 2019, 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 July 31, 2020 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.

INNOVATIVE DESIGNS, INC.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

On November 4, 2016, the 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 to redress a rescission of revenue the Company received from the sale of House Wrap and a permanent injunction.

On February 24, 2020, the District Court released an opinion granting the Company’s motion to have the expert testimony of the FTC’s expert witness struck. The Company has filed a Rule 529 (c) motion.

The Company continues to 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.
