NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Three Month Periods Ended January 31, 2022 and 2021 (Unaudited)

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly Innovative Designs, Inc.’s financial position as of January 31, 2022, the changes therein for the three periods then ended and the results of operations for the three periods ended January, 2022 and 2021.

The condensed 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, 2021. The results of operations for the three periods ended January, 2022 and 2021 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 condensed financial statements for additional disclosure on leases.

These condensed 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 ($132,040) and a negative cash flow from operations of ($174,860) for the three month period ended January 31, 2022. In addition, the Company has an accumulated deficit of ($10,242,130). 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 condensed financial statements. These condensed 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 January 31, 2022 and October 31, 2021, respectively. Management has applied an allowance on all balances in excess of 90 days.

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company has discontinued the manufacturing of its hunting and swimming line of apparel. The Company has booked a reserve against apparel inventory at January 31, 2022 and October 31, 2021 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. In 2021, the Company issued a convertible debt instrument. In addition, the Company also has stock warrants of 1,254,000 and 240,000 as of January 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company has calculated diluted earnings per share utilizing the outstanding stock warrants and convertible debt.

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 $8,647 and $3,007 for the three month periods ended January 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

Three Month Periods Ended January 31, 2022 and 2021 (Unaudited)

During the three month period ended January 31, 2022, the Company sold 340,000 shares of common stock to five investors for total proceeds of $61,000 and issued 50,000 shares to one investor for services. The stock was issued between $0.17 and $0.25 per share.

During the three month period ended January 31, 2021, the Company sold 100,000 shares of common stock to one investors for total proceeds of $25,000. The stock was issued for $.25 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. 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. In July 2021, management has decided that it is no longer selling this equipment and is moving forward with plans of putting it in service in the future.

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.

Applying the commercial rate, the Company calculated the present value of $150,496 for the office lease as of April 30, 2020.

On November 4, 2016, the FTC filed a complaint against the Company in the U.S. District Court Western District of Pennsylvania, Case number 16-1669. In the complaint, the FTC alleges that, among other matters, the Company did 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 September 24, 2020, a judgment was entered in favor of the Company as to all claims set forth in the FTC complaint. It was further ordered that as there were no remaining claims in the action the case shall be marked as closed.

 On November 23, 2020, the Company was informed that the FTC had filed a notice of appeal in regard to the case.

P. 52(c) and subsequent Judgment in favor of the Company and from the District Court’s February 14, 2020, striking Dr. David Yarbrough’s expert testimony made on behalf of the FTC.

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 Condensed Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation 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, our ability to sell out HouseWrap product line, 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, 2021. 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.

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:

INNOVATIVE DESIGNS, INC.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the Three Month Period Ended January 31, 2022 with the Three Month Period Ended January 31, 2021.

Revenues for the three month period ended January 31, 2022 were $62,400 compared to revenues of $40,017 for the three month period ended January 31, 2021. The increase in revenue is attributable to more sales of our apparel products. See Note 13 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, 2022, was ($132,040) compared to a net loss of ($35,965) for the comparable period in 2021.

Our selling, general and administrative expenses were $150,245 for the three month period ended January 31, 2022 compared to $72,883 for the three month period ended January 31, 2021. Professional fees for the three month period ended January 31, 2022 were $40,610 compared to $24,555 for the three month period ended January 31, 2021. The increase is partially a result of more audit fees of approximately $11,000.

Payroll increase by $20,393 from the prior year period as we were not fully operational as a result of the Covid pandemic. Likewise, we were not ordering manufacturing product, which increased by $42,805 during the three months ended January 31, 2022.

For the second quarter we expect revenues to be higher than the first quarter as the construction season begins with warmer weather in many parts of the country. Additionally, we are working on expanding our market presence by bringing on new sales representatives for our HouseWrap product line.

INNOVATIVE DESIGNS, INC.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the three-month period ended January 31, 2022, we funded our operations from revenues from sales, and sale of our common stock. During the three month period ended January 31, 2022, sold our common stock in private transactions and raised $61,000 from the sales.

We must purchase new quality control testing equipment for our House Wrap product line, which we estimated will cost approximately $100,000. We have not, as yet, received a quote from the vendor. Once the equipment is built it will have to go through a certification process.

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. It is the Company intentions to have the equipment operational but cannot currently provide a time estimate. Among the factors affecting the time estimate are financial resources available to the Company, finding a suitable facility and bringing technical personal from abroad to install 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 intends produce Insultex under its own brand name. 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 and our efforts to produce our own Insultex would be delayed.

Subsequent to the period we received proceeds of $10,200 upon the exercise of 60,000 warrants at $ .17 per share.

None

Not applicable

Management has developed and implemented a policy and procedures for reviewing, on a quarterly basis, our disclosure controls and procedures. During the three month period ended January 31, 2022, our principle executive/financial officer concluded that these controls and procedures were ineffective and identified the following specific material weaknesses.

This was due to our limited resources, including the absence of an internal financial staff member with accounting and financial expertise and deficiencies in the design or operation of our internal control over financial reporting that adversely affected our disclosure controls.

Management plans to address these matters by among actions, meeting more with its external accountant to ensure that issues such as described above are correct going forward. The Company will also restructure its loan recording system to be able to present a more informative report to its external account. Management will also reevaluate its accounting software and will make a determination as to whether to continue to use it or implement another type of program. Either decision will allow all information to be entered into one system which should alleviate the significant deficiency described above.

However, the material weakness will not be considered remediated until the applicable remedial controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. 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.

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.
