NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Three and Six Month Periods Ended April 30, 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 April 30, 2020, the changes therein for the three and six month periods then ended and the results of operations for the three and six month periods ended April 30, 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 six month periods ended April 30, 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 $131,284 and a negative cash flow from operations of $130,003 for the six month period ended April 30, 2020. In addition, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $9,699,990. 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 April 30, 2020 and October 31, 2019, respectively. Management has applied an allowance on all balances in excess of 90 days.

Three and Six Month Periods Ended April 30, 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 January 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 six month periods ended April 30, 2020 and 2019.

During the six month period ended April 30, 2020, the Company sold 850,000 shares of common stock to investors for total proceeds of $131,500. The stock was issued between $0.125 and $0.20 per share. Of these shares, 100,000 shares were issued subsequent to April 30, 2020.

During the six month period ended April 30, 2019, the Company sold 545,000 shares of common stock to seven investors for total proceeds of $81,400. The stock was issued between $0.08 and $0.17 per share. The stock was issued for $0.17 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 April 30, 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 April 30, 2020.

Revenues for the six month period ended April 30, 2020 were $83,234 compared to revenues of $139,703for the six month period ended April 30, 2019.

During the three month period ended April 01, 2020, we sold our common stock in private transactions and raised $72,500 from the sales.

ITEM 1A.      Risk Factors

In addition to the risk factors included in our Annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019, we include the following:

Effect of the Coronavirus Pandemic

The coronavirus pandemic is adversely affecting and is expected to continue to adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We are unable to predict the extent or nature these effect will have on our business at this time.

During the three month period ended January 31, 2020, the Company sold 300,000 shares of common stock to nine investors for total proceeds of $49,000. The stock was issued between $0.15 and $0.17 per share. 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 April 30, 2020, the Company sold 450,000 shares of common stock for a total proceed of $72,500. The common stock was issued for between $0.12 and $0.20 per share. 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.

INNOVATIVE DESIGNS, INC.

Management has developed and implemented a policy and procedures for reviewing, on a quarterly basis, our disclosure controls and procedures. During the period ended April 30, 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 April 30, 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.
