1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
General
Art
Design, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Colorado on January 16, 2002. We
are a provider of custom framed artwork, accessories and interior design
consulting. We market and sell our products and services to commercial and
professional business offices, along with residential clients. We believe we
have developed a presence in the State of Colorado for creating custom framed
mirrors, art, and design furnishings.
On June
18, 2007 we closed our public offering. We sold a total of 520,600 shares at a
price of $.25 per share, for a total of $130,150.
We had
one wholly-owned subsidiary, Art Dimensions, Inc., which we incorporated in
January, 2008.
We issued
a total of 2,000,000 shares to us. This company has been incorporated to
represent artists and other creative individuals in the interior design
business. We spun off this subsidiary to our shareholders at the end
of December, 2009.
Our
headquarters are located at 3636 S. Jason, Englewood, Colorado 80113. Our phone
number at our headquarters is (303) 781-7280. Our fiscal year end is December
31.

Overview
of our Operations
We
believe that we have created a business model that enables us to provide
products and services to our clients in a more convenient, efficient and
economical manner. We sell our products and services directly to the public and
not through design professionals.
Mr. and
Mrs. Sheehan operate a private company known as the Accessory Warehouse. This
company markets art work, accessories, and furniture exclusively to design
industry professionals. The original concept of our Company was to have a
business which markets art work, accessories, furniture, and interior design
consulting to the public.
We plan
to purchase most, if not all, of our products from Accessory Warehouse. These
products will be purchased under the same or better terms and conditions which
Accessory Warehouse would give to unaffiliated third parties.
We
established our business strategy on the premise that on site consulting to the
public is a valuable service. We believe that most people do not have the time
or expertise to furnish their offices or living spaces with art, mirrors, or
other accessories.
We
provide products that we believe share an aesthetic appeal and possess
distinctive design elements. We combine these products with our interior design
consulting, to give our clients a complete package of goods and services. We
provide detailed information regarding the designer and key design and
functional elements about each product. We obtain our merchandise from select
domestic designers and manufacturers that meet our requirements for design,
quality, packaging, and consistency of production and flow. We believe that our
individual assortment of products serves as a competitive
advantage.
We
believe our success requires the development and maintenance of a broad base of
residential and commercial clients. Our clients include commercial and
professional business offices, along with high end homes. We target educated
consumers focused on quality of life and interested in self-enrichment.
Historically, our residential customers have been almost as likely to be male as
female, have spanned a wide range of ages and typically have had household
incomes greater than $75,000. We sell to the following commercial clients, who
we believe are representative of our commercial client base in a number of
different industries, including: architects, doctors, lawyers, and
accountants.
Industry
Overview
We
believe that businesses have begun to place more emphasis on design. A November
2003 article in Fortune magazine highlighted organizational initiatives at
several major corporations, which have created new positions for design
professionals and promoted other design professionals, reflecting the growing
importance of design in selling their products or services.
We
believe small businesses, which account for all of our commercial sales,
historically have also had difficulties gaining access to design furnishings. We
believe that the design furnishings industry has generally marketed and sold
most design products in a manner that effectively excludes small businesses as
buyers. Factors that contribute to the exclusion of small businesses from the
market for design products include: the imposition of minimum order requirements
that often exceed such buyers’ requirements, limited physical presence of
product sellers in smaller markets; and lack of interest from product
distributors to sell to smaller buyers, among others.
We believe this large segment of the
commercial market has traditionally been underserved and will continue to be
particularly receptive to our product offerings.
-
4 -
We
believe our business model makes design-oriented products available for
convenient purchase to a broad array of residential and commercial consumers,
helping us further expand and penetrate the market for design
products.
Operations,
Management and Employees
We
believe that initially operating from one location will be central to our
overall success. We sell to the public through direct contact with our
employees. Our plan is to concentrate our operations in the State of Colorado.
We have no plans to operate in additional locations.
We have
two full-time employees, not including our two officers. As we expand, we intend
to hire additional employees. However, we have no present plans to do so. We may
hire part-time help as needed from time-to-time for specific
projects.
While our
Mr. and Mrs. Sheehan have had extensive experience in our business, we must
eventually recruit additional personnel. We will strive to maintain quality and
consistency through the careful training and supervision of personnel and the
establishment of, and adherence to, high standards relating to personnel
performance and client service. We believe that we will be able to attract high
quality, experienced personnel by paying competitive wages and
salaries.
Markets
We plan
to market through direct contact with prospective clients. We have no sales
representative who solicits potential clients. However, Mr. and Mrs. Sheehan,
along with Mrs. Gregarek, plan to use their contacts to continue to generate the
clients and will attempt to develop repeat business from every
project.
Raw
Materials
The use
of raw materials is not a material factor in our operations at the present time.
We do not expect raw materials to be a material factor in the
future.
Customers
and Competition
The
market for residential and commercial furnishings is fragmented with no single
company holding a dominant market position. The market includes numerous smaller
specialty retailers, as well as department stores, larger mass merchandisers and
interior design stores, with department stores commanding a decreasing
percentage of the furnishings industry compared to specialty retailers. In
recent years, the industry has been characterized by consolidation, the
withdrawal of certain retailers from the marketplace and a de-emphasis by
traditional department stores on upscale merchandise, leaving fewer large
competitors focused exclusively on this segment of the furnishings
market.
We face
competition from several sources, including the following:
·
|
design
companies selling solely through catalog and
online;
|
·
|
regional
retailers specializing in design;
|
All of
our competitors are larger than us and have substantially greater financial,
marketing and other resources than we do.
-
5 -
The U.S.
retail industry, along with the catalog and online commerce sectors are highly
competitive, dynamic in nature and have undergone significant change over the
past several years. Our ability to anticipate and respond successfully to these
changes is critical to our long-term growth. If we are unable to maintain or
increase our market share or compete effectively in the furnishings market, our
business, financial condition and operating results would be adversely
affected.
We
believe that the ability to compete successfully is determined by a variety of
factors, including quality of product selection, effective product presentation,
client service and pricing. We believe that we can compete favorably on the
basis of these factors.
We also
believe that we offer our clients flexibility and cost savings because our
overhead is lower than many of our competitors. However, we cannot guarantee
that we will be able to successfully compete.
Our top
client in fiscal year 2009 accounted for approximately 95 % of our revenues. In
fiscal year 2008 our four top clients accounted for approximately 95% of our
revenues. We plan to particularly focus on this aspect of our business in the
next twelve months.
Backlog
At
December 31, 2009, we had no backlogs.
Employees
We have
two full-time employees, not including our two officers. As we expand, we intend
to hire additional employees. However, we have no present plans to do so. We may
hire part-time help as needed from time-to-time for specific projects. We do not
pay salaries to our two officers. However, we reimburse them for any
out-of-pocket expenses they incur on our behalf. In addition, in the future, we
may approve the payment of salaries for our management, but currently, no such
plans have been approved. We do not currently pay for vacation, holidays or
provide major medical coverage. None of our officers or directors is a party to
any employment agreement. However, we may adopt such plans in the
future.
Proprietary
Information
We do not
currently have any patent or trademark protection. If we determine it is
feasible to file for such trademark protection, we still have no assurance that
doing so will prevent competitors from using the same or similar names, marks,
concepts or appearance.
Government
Regulation
We are
not subject to any material government or industry regulation.
Research
and Development
We have
never spent any amount in research and development activities.
Environmental
Compliance
Since we only act in the capacity of an
intermediary, we do not expect environmental laws to have any material impact on
us.

Item
1A. RISK FACTORS.
You
should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and the
other information in this document before deciding to invest in shares of our
common stock.
The
occurrence of any of the following risks could materially and adversely affect
our business, financial condition and operating result. In this case, the
trading price of our common stock could decline and you might lose all or part
of your investment.
Risks
Associated With our Company
We
have had a history of losses and may not be able to develop
profitability.
We had a
net loss of $29,762 on revenues of $-0- for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2009, compared to a net loss of $53,993 on revenues of $65,303 for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2008. We cannot assure you that we will generate
profits in the future, even if our sales increase dramatically. We will need to
generate greater revenues and improved margins to achieve and maintain
profitability in the future. If our operating losses continue on a long-term
basis, we may experience a shortage of working capital that could adversely
affect our business or our ability to continue our business, in which case our
stock price may decline, perhaps significantly, and you could lose the value of
your investment.
Because
we had incurred continuing operating losses, our accountants have expressed
doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern.
For the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, our accountants have expressed
doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as a result of our
continued net losses. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and
positive cash flow is dependent upon:
·
|
our
ability to locate clients who will purchase our products and use our
services; and
|
·
|
our
ability to generate substantial
revenues.
|
Based
upon current plans, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods
because we will be incurring expenses and not generating sufficient revenues. We
expect approximately $50,000 in operating costs over the next twelve months. We
cannot guarantee that we will be successful in generating sufficient revenues or
other funds in the future to cover these operating costs. Failure to generate
sufficient revenues will cause us to go out of business.
-
7 -
Our
limited operating history makes it difficult for us to evaluate our future
business prospects and make decisions based on those estimates of our future
performance.
The
concept for our business model was developed in 2002. Even though we have
operated as a corporation for some time, we have a limited operating history,
based upon limited revenues and a lack of profitability. These factors make it
difficult to evaluate our business on the basis of historical operations. As a
consequence, our past results may not be indicative of future results. Although
this is true for any business, it is particularly true for us because of our
limited operating history. Reliance on historical results may hinder our ability
to anticipate and timely adapt to increases or decreases in sales, revenues or
expenses. For example, if we overestimate our future sales for a particular
period or periods based on our historical growth rate, we may increase our
overhead and other operating expenses to a greater degree than we would have if
we correctly anticipated the lower sales level for that period and reduced our
controllable expenses accordingly. If we make poor budgetary decisions as a
result of unreliable historical data, we could continue to incur losses, which
may result in a decline in our stock price.
We
have limited experience as a public company.
We have
only operated as a public company since 2007. Thus, we have limited experience
in complying with the various rules and regulations which are required of a
public company. As a result, we may not be able to operate successfully as a
public company, even if our operations are successful. We plan to comply with
all of the various rules and regulations which are required of a public company.
However, if we cannot operate successfully as a public company, your investment
may be materially adversely affected. Our inability to operate as a public
company could be the basis of your losing your entire investment in
us.
Our
clients have no obligation to purchase from us, which may result in sudden
declines in sales.
Our
client mix currently consists of approximately ninety percent commercial and
professional business offices, and ten percent high-end residential homes. We do
not have supply agreements or other volume commitments that are binding on our
clients, and our sales originate solely from individual purchase orders that we
negotiate with our individual clients. As a consequence, our clients are not
obligated to purchase any amount of our products and they may choose to stop or
decrease their level of product purchases from us at any time, without giving us
prior notice. This could cause our sales to fluctuate, and we could experience a
sudden and unexpected decline in sales. We could experience unexpected
operational losses if our client sales were to decline significantly without
notice.
We
currently rely upon two clients for a majority of our sales, which means that we
could be severally impacted by the loss of one or both of them.
Our
revenue projections are subject to greater uncertainty than if we had volume
commitments from one or more of our largest clients. Our top client in fiscal
year 2009 accounted for approximately 95 % of our revenues. In fiscal year 2008
our four top clients accounted for approximately 95% of our revenues. We could
be severally impacted by the loss of any of them. As long as we rely upon a few
clients for a majority of our sales, we could be subject to uncertain revenue
results, if we lose a major client. We cannot assure you that these clients, or
any of our clients, will continue to purchase our products in significant
volume, or at all.
-
8 -
We
may need to raise additional funds, and these funds may not be available when we
need them.
Based on
our current plans, we have adjusted our operating expenses so that cash
generated from operations and from working capital financing is expected to be
sufficient for the foreseeable future to fund our operations at our currently
forecasted levels. This has not always been the case, since we have had a
history of losses. To try to operate at a break-even level based upon our
current level of anticipated business activity, we believe, based upon our
operating history from 2007, that we must generate a gross profit on
our revenue of approximately $50,000 per year. However, if our forecasts are
inaccurate, we will need to raise additional funds. On the other hand, we may
choose to scale back our operations to operate at break-even with a smaller
level of business activity, while adjusting our overhead to meet the revenue
from current operations. In addition, we expect that we will need to raise
additional funds if we decide to pursue more rapid expansion, the development of
new or enhanced services and products, appropriate responses to competitive
pressures, or the acquisition of complementary businesses or technologies, or if
we must respond to unanticipated events that require us to make additional
investments. . We cannot assure that additional financing will be available when
needed on favorable terms, or at all. If these funds are not available when we
need them, then we may need to change our business strategy and reduce our rate
of growth.
We
must effectively manage the growth of our operations, or we may outgrow our
current infrastructure.
As of
December 31, 2009, we had two employees. If we experience rapid growth of our
operations, we could see a backlog of client orders. We can resolve these
capacity issues by hiring additional personnel and upgrading our infrastructure.
However, we cannot guarantee that sufficient additional personnel will be
available or that we will find suitable technology to aid our growth. In any
case, we will continue pursuing additional sales growth for our company.
Expanding our infrastructure will be expensive, and will require us to train our
workforce, and improve our financial and managerial controls to keep pace with
the growth of our operations.
Because
we are small and do not have much capital, we must limit our operations. A
company in our industry with limited operations has a smaller opportunity to be
successful.
Because we are small and do not have
much capital, we must limit our operations. We must limit our operations to the
State of Colorado as the only geographical area in which we operate. Because we
may have to limit our operations, we may not generate sufficient sales to make a
profit. If we do not make a profit, we may have to suspend or cease
operations.
Because
our current officers and directors are involved with other businesses in the
same industry, the manner in which we operate may create the possibility of a
conflict of interest.
All of
our officers and directors are also involved with other businesses in the same
industry. Mr. and Mrs. Sheehan own the Accessory Warehouse, Inc. Mrs. Gregarek
is an independent contractor for interior design work. These other arrangements
could create conflict of interest with respect to our operations. Each of our
officers and directors is aware of their responsibilities with respect to
corporate opportunities and plans to operate our Company in such a manner as to
minimize the effect of any conflict of interest. Each officer and director has
agreed to contract with the Company on the same or better terms and conditions
than each would with unaffiliated third parties and to deal with the public for
interior design work only through the Company. Each of these officers and
directors will use their best judgments to resolve all potential conflicts. The
other related business activities of our officers and directors involve sales
limited to design professionals. We cannot guarantee that any potential
conflicts can be avoided.
-
9 -
Our
success will be dependent upon our management.
Our
success will be dependent upon the decision making of our directors and
executive officers. These individuals intend to commit as much time as necessary
to our business, but this commitment is no assurance of success. The loss of any
or all of these individuals, particularly Mr. and Mrs. Sheehan, could have a
material, adverse impact on our operations. We have no written employment
agreements with any officers and directors, including Mr. and Mrs. Sheehan. We
have not obtained key man life insurance on the lives of any of these
individuals.
We
face substantial competition from numerous sources, many of which have access to
better resources.
Competition in sale of art work and
interior design services is intense. We compete with a diverse group of
competitors ranging from internet businesses to traditional brick-and-mortar
companies, many of which have greater resources than we do. We believe that
barriers to entry in this business are not significant and start-up costs are
relatively low, so our competition may increase in the future. Our belief that
there are minimal barriers to entry is based on our observation that operations
such as ours do not require the ownership of warehouses, showrooms or factories
to operate, which we think is because (i) our direct ship business can be
operated with minimal warehousing needs and costs, which are significantly less
than traditional models, (ii) wholesale product orders can be placed after
receipt of client orders, in order to further reduce warehousing needs, (iii)
samples can be shown to clients at little or no cost, without the necessity of
showroom space for actual product, (iv) if a competitor wants showroom space, it
is typically available for lease at competitive rates in most United States
markets, and (v) all manufacturing can be done by third party suppliers, so
there is no need to own or lease a manufacturing facility. New competitors may
be able to launch new businesses similar to ours, and current competitors
may replicate our business model, at a relatively low cost. If competitors
with significantly greater resources than ours decide to replicate our business
model, they may be able to quickly gain recognition and acceptance of their
business methods, products and services through marketing and promotion. We may
not have the resources to compete effectively with current or future
competitors. If we are unable to effectively compete, we will lose sales to our
competitors and our revenues will decline.
Our
directors have the ability to significantly influence any matters to be decided
by the stockholders, which may prevent or delay a change in control of our
company.
The
current members of our Board of Directors beneficially own, in the aggregate,
approximately 78.5% of our common stock, on a fully diluted basis. As a result,
if they choose to vote in concert, our directors are collectively able to
significantly influence the outcome of any corporate matters submitted to our
stockholders for approval, including any transaction that might cause a change
in control, such as a merger or acquisition. It is unlikely that stockholders in
favor of a matter, which is opposed by the Board of Directors, would be able to
obtain the number of votes necessary to overrule the vote of the Board of
Directors. Further, the control by the directors means that they may make
decisions for us with which you may disagree or that you may feel is not in our
best interests.
We
may need to substantially increase our marketing efforts in order to grow our
business, which is expensive.
In order
to grow our business, we will need to develop and maintain widespread
recognition and acceptance of our company, our business model, our services and
our products. We believe that we have presented our service and product offering
to only a small percentage of the potential market. Currently, we rely primarily
on word of mouth from our existing clients and contacts we develop personally
through industry events to promote and market ourselves. In order to
successfully grow our company, we may need to significantly increase our
financial commitment to creating awareness and acceptance of our company among
retailers, which would be expensive. In fiscal year 2006, marketing and
advertising expenses were negligible. If we fail to successfully market and
promote our business, we could lose current clients to our competitors, or our
growth
efforts may be ineffective. If we incur significant expenses promoting and
marketing ourselves, it could cause our profitability to
decline.
-
10 -
Our
business is not diversified, which could result in significant fluctuations in
our operating results.
All of
our business is involved in the marketing of art work products and interior
design services, and, accordingly, is dependent upon trends in the interior
design sector. Downturns in the interior design sector could have a material
adverse effect on our business. A downturn in the interior design sector may
reduce our stock price, even if our business is successful.
Risks
Associated With our Securities.
Buying
low-priced penny stocks is very risky and speculative.
Our
common stock is defined as a penny stock under the Securities and Exchange Act
of 1934, and rules of the Commission. The Exchange Act and such penny stock
rules generally impose additional sales practice and disclosure requirements on
broker-dealers who sell our securities to persons other than certain accredited
investors who are, generally, institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000
or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding
$200,000, or $300,000 jointly with spouse, or in transactions not recommended by
the broker-dealer. For transactions covered by the penny stock rules, a
broker-dealer must make a suitability determination for each purchaser and
receive the purchaser's written agreement prior to the sale. In addition, the
broker-dealer must make certain mandated disclosures in penny stock
transactions, including the actual sale or purchase price and actual bid and
offer quotations, the compensation to be received by the broker-dealer and
certain associated persons, and deliver certain disclosures required by the
Commission. Consequently, the penny stock rules may affect the ability of
broker-dealers to make a market in or trade our common stock and may also affect
your ability to resell any shares you may purchase in the public
markets.
Because our stock is traded on the
Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, it has a limited public trading market.
As a result, it may be
difficult or impossible for you to liquidate your
investment.
While our
common stock currently is listed for trading, we have had only a few trades. We
are quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board under the trading symbol ATDN.
We cannot assure that such a market will improve in the future, even if our
securities are listed on the NASD Bulletin Board. The NASD Bulletin Board
requires that we be a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934. However, we cannot guarantee that we will be accepted for listing on the
NASD Bulletin Board. Further, we cannot assure that an investor will be able to
liquidate his investment without considerable delay, if at all. If a more active
market does develop, the price may be highly volatile. Our limited operating
history, lack of profitability, negligible stock liquidity, potential extreme
price and volume fluctuations, and regulatory burdens may have a significant
impact on the market price of the common stock. It is also possible that the
relatively low price of our common stock may keep many brokerage firms from
engaging in transactions in our common stock.
The
over-the-counter market for stock such as ours has had extreme price and volume
fluctuations.
The
securities of companies such as ours have historically experienced extreme price
and volume fluctuations during certain periods. These broad market fluctuations
and other factors, such as new product developments and trends in the our
industry and in the investment markets generally, as well as economic conditions
and quarterly variations in our operational results, may have a negative effect
on the market price of our common stock.

Applicable
SEC rules governing the trading of “Penny Stocks” limit the liquidity of our
common stock, which may affect the trading price of our common
stock.
Our
common stock is currently quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin
Board. Since our common stock continues to trade well below $5.00 per
share, our common stock is considered a “penny stock” and is subject to SEC
rules and regulations that impose limitations upon the manner in which our
shares can be publicly traded. These regulations require the
delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure
schedule explaining the penny stock and the associated risks. Under
these regulations, certain brokers who recommend such securities to persons
other than established customers or certain accredited investors must make a
special written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the
written purchaser’s agreement to a transaction prior to
purchase. These regulations have the effect of limiting the trading
activity of our common stock and reducing the liquidity of an investment in our
common stock
We
do not expect to pay dividends on common stock.
We have
not paid any cash dividends with respect to our common stock, and it is unlikely
that we will pay any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.
Earnings, if any, that we may realize will be retained in the business for
further development and expansion.

The
Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990
The
Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990 requires additional
disclosure and documentation related to the market for penny stock and for
trades in any stock defined as a penny stock. Unless we can acquire substantial
assets and trade at over $5.00 per share on the bid, it is more likely than not
that our securities, for some period of time, would be defined under that Act as
a "penny stock." As a result, those who trade in our securities may be required
to provide additional information related to their fitness to trade our shares.
These requirements present a substantial burden on any person or brokerage firm
who plans to trade our securities and would thereby make it unlikely that any
liquid trading market would ever result in our securities while the provisions
of this Act might be applicable to those securities.
Any
broker-dealer engaged by the purchaser for the purpose of selling his or her
shares in us will be subject to Rules 15g-1 through 15g-10 of the Securities and
Exchange Act. Rather than creating a need to comply with those rules, some
broker-dealers will refuse to attempt to sell penny stock.
The penny
stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not
otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure
document prepared by the Commission, which:
-
13 -
-
|
contains
a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny
stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading;
|
-
|
contains
a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of
the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a
violation to such duties or other requirements of the Securities Act of
1934, as amended;
|
-
|
contains
a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including "bid"
and "ask" prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread
between the bid and ask price;
|
-
|
contains
a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary
actions;
|
-
|
defines
significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading
penny stocks; and
|
-
|
contains
such other information and is in such form (including language, type, size
and format) as the Securities and Exchange Commission shall require by
rule or regulation;
|
The
broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny
stock, to the customer:
-
|
the
bid and offer quotations for the penny
stock;
|
-
|
the
compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the
transaction;
|
-
|
the
number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other
comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market
for such stock; and
|
-
|
monthly
account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in
the customer's account.
|
In
addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny
stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a
special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for
the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt
of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving
penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.
These disclosure requirements will have the effect of reducing the trading
activity in the secondary market for our stock because it will be subject to
these penny stock rules. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling
their securities.

7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
Certain
statements in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations that are not historical facts are forward-looking
statements such as statements relating to future operating results, existing and
expected competition, financing and refinancing sources and availability and
plans for future development or expansion activities and capital expenditures.
Such forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties that
may significantly affect our liquidity and results in the future and,
accordingly, actual results may differ materially from those expressed in any
forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not
limited to, those related to effects of competition, leverage and debt service
financing and refinancing efforts, general economic conditions, and changes in
applicable laws or regulations. The following discussion and analysis should be
read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
appearing elsewhere in this report.
Critical
Accounting Policies
We have identified the following
policies below as critical to our business and results of operations. For
further discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies,
see Note 1 to the accompanying audited financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2009, included elsewhere in this document. Our reported results are
impacted by the application of the following accounting policies, certain of
which require management to make subjective or complex judgments. These
judgments involve making estimates about the effect of matters that are
inherently uncertain and may significantly impact quarterly or annual results of
operations. For all of these policies, management cautions that future events
rarely develop exactly as expected, and the best estimates routinely require
adjustment. Specific risks associated with these critical accounting policies
are described in the following paragraphs.
Use
of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Results
of Operations
We have a
history of losses. Furthermore, our losses may continue into the future. We have
never had a profitable fiscal year, including the fiscal year ended December 31,
2009.
We have
had declining revenues during the last two fiscal years. The changes in revenues
from year to year have been a direct result of our marketing efforts, or lack
thereof, and the number of clients and projects we generate.
Our
accountants have expressed doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern as a result of our continued net losses. Our ability to achieve and
maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon our ability to
locate clients who will purchase our products and use our services and our
ability to generate revenues.
Comparing
our operations, we had sales-net of returns of $-0- for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2009. This compares with sales-net of returns of $65,303 for the
twelve months ended December 31, 2008. We had no projects, which was the basis
for our lack of sales.
Our costs
of goods for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 was $-0-. Our costs of
goods for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 was $65,100. Costs of goods
sold include all direct costs incurred in selling products. We do not separate
sales of different product lines into operating segments.
-
15 -
The
difference between total sales-net of returns and costs of goods is gross
profit. Our gross profit for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 was $-0-
. This compares with gross profit for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008
was $203.
To the
extent that we market more products and fewer consulting services in connection
with our sales, our cost of goods is a much larger factor, which tends to reduce
our gross profitability. We make a higher gross profit from our consulting
services than from our product sales. In addition, some product sales have
higher profit margins.
Operating expenses, which includes
depreciation and general and administrative expenses for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2009 was $22,486. This compares to operating expenses for the
twelve months ended December 31, 2008 of $47,404. The major components of
operating expenses include professional fees, salaries and associated payroll
costs, rent and telephone expenses.
We
believe that operating expenses in current operations should remain fairly
constant as product sales and consulting services improve. Each additional sale
or service and correspondingly the gross profit of such sale or service have
minimal offsetting operating expenses. Thus, additional sales could become
profit at a higher return on sales rate as a result of not needing to expand
operating expenses at the same pace.
We had a
net loss of $29,762 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009. This compares
with a net loss of $53,993 for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2008.
Based
upon our current plans, we have adjusted our operating expenses so that cash
generated from operations and from working capital is expected to be sufficient
for the foreseeable future to fund our operations at our currently forecasted
levels. This has not always been the case, since we have had a history of
losses. To try to operate at a break-even level based upon our current level of
anticipated business activity, we believe, based upon our operating history from
2007, that we must generate approximately a gross profit on our revenue of
approximately $50,000 per year. However, if our forecasts are inaccurate, we
will need to raise additional funds. On the other hand, we may choose to scale
back our operations to operate at break-even with a smaller level of business
activity, while adjusting our overhead to meet the revenue from current
operations. In addition, we expect that we will need to raise additional funds
if we decide to pursue more rapid expansion, the development of new or enhanced
services and products, appropriate responses to competitive pressures, or the
acquisition of complementary businesses or technologies, or if we must respond
to unanticipated events that require us to make additional investments. We
cannot assure that additional financing will be available when needed on
favorable terms, or at all.
We may
incur operating losses in future periods because we will be incurring expenses
and not generating sufficient revenues. Historically, this has been our
experience. We expect approximately $50,000 in operating costs over the next
twelve months. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in generating
sufficient revenues or other funds in the future to cover these operating costs.
We have been relying upon the funds from our 2007 public offering to make up for
shortfalls in our operations. Failure to generate sufficient revenues or
additional financing when needed could cause us to go out of
business
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As of
December 31, 2009, we had cash or cash equivalents of $50,962, compared to
$80,390 as of December 31, 2008.
Net cash
used for operating activities was $29,428 for the period ended December 31,
2009, compared to $32,274 for the period ended December 31, 2008. We anticipate
that overhead costs in current operations will remain fairly constant as sales
improve.
Cash
flows used or provided by investing activities were $-0-for the period ended
December 31, 2009 and 2008.
-
16 -
Cash
flows used or provided by financing activities accounted for $-0- for the period
ended December 31, 2009 compared to $-0- for the period ended December 31,
2008.
To date our public offering in 2007
has provided sufficient capital for our current level of operations.
It is our plan to become profitable in our operations before we need additional
capital, although we cannot guarantee that we will do so. If we open additional
locations, additional resources will be needed. However, we have no plans to
open additional locations at this time.
We do not
anticipate needing to raise additional capital resources in the next twelve
months.
Until
current operations become cash flow positive, our officers and directors may be
required to fund the operations to continue the business. At this time, other
than our cash, we have no other resources on which to get cash if needed without
their assistance.
Our
principle source of liquidity is our operations. Our variation in revenues is
based upon the level of our sales activity and will account for the difference
between a profit and a loss. Also business activity is closely tied to the
economy of Denver and the U.S. economy. The slow down in the Denver and the U.S.
economy has not significantly decreased our interior design work. However, our
revenues have not grown, which we attribute to the slowdown in the Denver and
the U.S. economy. We believe that as the Denver and the U.S. economy recover, we
will have the opportunity to develop greater revenues, such that we can operate
at a break even or even a profit. In any case, we try to operate with minimal
overhead. Our primary activity will be to seek to expand the interior design
projects and, consequently, our sales. If we succeed in expanding our client
base and generating sufficient sales, we will become profitable. We cannot
guarantee that this will ever occur. Our plan is to build our company in any
manner which will be successful.
Plan
of Operation
Our plan
for the next twelve months is to operate at a profit or at break even, although
we have a history of losses. Our plan is to attract sufficient additional
product sales and services within our present organizational structure and
resources to become profitable in our operations.
Currently,
we are conducting business in only one location in the Denver Metropolitan area.
We have no plans to expand into other locations or areas. The timing of the
completion of the milestones needed to become profitable are not directly
dependent on the success of our public offering. We believe that we can achieve
profitability as we are presently organized with sufficient
business.
Other
than the shares offered by our 2007 public offering, no other source of capital
has been identified or sought.
If we are
not successful in our operations we will be faced with several
options:
1.
|
Cease
operations and go out of business;
|
2.
|
Continue
to seek alternative and acceptable sources of
capital;
|
3.
|
Bring
in additional capital that may result in a change of control;
or
|
4.
|
Identify
a candidate for acquisition that seeks access to the public marketplace
and its financing sources.
|
Currently,
we have sufficient capital to implement our proposed business operations or to
sustain them for the next twelve months. If we can become profitable, we could
operate at our present level indefinitely.
-
17 -
To date, we have never had any
discussions with any possible acquisition candidate. However, if we cannot
operate our business in a profitable manner, we may seek other opportunities,
including, but not limited to, one or more acquisitions.
Proposed
Milestones to Implement Business Operations
At the
present time, we are operating from one location in the Denver Metropolitan
area. Our plan is to make our operation profitable by the end of our next fiscal
year.
We
believe that we can be profitable or at break even by the end of the current
fiscal year, assuming sufficient sales. Based upon our current plans, we have
adjusted our operating expenses so that cash generated from operations and from
working capital financing is expected to be sufficient for the foreseeable
future to fund our operations at our currently forecasted levels. This has not
always been the case, since we have had a history of losses. To try to operate
at a break-even level based upon our current level of anticipated business
activity, we believe, based upon our operating history from
2007, that we must generate a gross profit on our revenue of
approximately $50,000 per year. However, if our forecasts are inaccurate, we
will need to raise additional funds. On the other hand, we may choose to scale
back our operations to operate at break-even with a smaller level of business
activity, while adjusting our overhead to meet the revenue from current
operations. In addition, we expect that we will need to raise additional funds
if we decide to pursue more rapid expansion, the development of new or enhanced
services and products, appropriate responses to competitive pressures, or the
acquisition of complementary businesses or technologies, or if we must respond
to unanticipated events that require us to make additional investments. We
cannot assure that additional financing will be available when needed on
favorable terms, or at all.
We expect
to incur operating losses in future periods because we will be incurring
expenses and not generating sufficient revenues. We expect approximately $50,000
in operating costs over the next twelve months. We cannot guarantee that we will
be successful in generating sufficient revenues or other funds in the future to
cover these operating costs. Failure to generate sufficient revenues or
additional financing when needed could cause us to go out of
business
No
commitments to provide additional funds have been made by management or current
shareholders. There is no assurance that additional funds will be made available
to us on terms that will be acceptable, or at all, if and when needed. We expect
to continue to generate and increase sales, but there can be no assurance we
will generate sales sufficient to continue operations or to expand.
We also
are planning to rely on the possibility of referrals from clients and will
strive to satisfy our clients. We believe that referrals will be an effective
form of advertising because of the quality of service that we bring to clients.
We believe that satisfied clients will bring more and repeat clients. In the
next 12 months, we do not intend to spend any funds on research and development
and do not intend to purchase any large equipment.
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
We do not
expect the adoption of any recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a
significant impact on our net results of operations, financial position, or cash
flows.
Seasonality
We do not
expect our sales to be impacted by seasonal demands for our products and
services.
Trends
There are
no known trends, events or uncertainties that have had or that are reasonably
expected to have a material impact on the net sales or revenues or income from
our proposed operations. Our management has not made any commitments, which will
require any material financial resources.

REPORT

Directors
Art

Englewood,
Colorado
I have
audited the accompanying balance sheets of Art Design, Inc. as of December 31,
2008 and 2009, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity
and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. My responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on my audit.
I
conducted my audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that I plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. 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 made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. I believe that my audit provides a
reasonable basis for my opinion.
In my
opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Art Design,
Inc. as of December 31, 2008 and 2009, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the years then ended 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 7 to the financial
statements the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has
a working capital deficit
that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going
concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in
Note 7. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December
31, 2008 and 2009
NOTE
1. ORGANIZATION, OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
Art
Design, Inc. (the “Company”), was incorporated in the State of Colorado on
January 16, 2002. The Company sells art work and interior decorating to
professional and business offices.
Use of
Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
Cash and cash
equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of
three months or less as cash equivalents.
Accounts
receivable
The
Company reviews accounts receivable periodically for collectability and
establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts and records bad debt expense when
deemed necessary. At December 31, 2008 and 2009 the Company had no balance in
its allowance for doubtful accounts.
Property and
equipment
Property
and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated under accelerated methods
over each item's estimated useful life.
Revenue
recognition
Revenue
is recognized on an accrual basis as earned under contract terms, generally when
ordered products are shipped, and any corresponding consulting and design
services have been rendered.

TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December

NOTE
1. ORGANIZATION, OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES (Continued):
Advertising
costs
Advertising
costs are expensed as incurred. The Company had no advertising costs in 2008 or
2009.
Income
tax
The
Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to ASC 740. Under ASC 740 deferred
taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are
recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carryforwards
and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences.
Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a
valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than
not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in
tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
Net income (loss) per
share
The net
income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the
weighted average number of shares of common outstanding. Warrants, stock
options, and common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Company's
preferred stock (if any), are not included in the computation if the effect
would be anti-dilutive and would increase the earnings or decrease loss per
share.
Financial
Instruments
The
carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, as reported in the
accompanying balance sheets, approximates fair value.
Long-Lived
Assets
In
accordance with ASC 350, the Company regularly reviews the carrying value of
intangible and other long-lived assets for the existence of facts or
circumstances, both internally and externally, that may suggest impairment. If
impairment testing indicates a lack of recoverability, an impairment loss is
recognized by the Company if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds
its fair value.

TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December
31, 2008 and 2009
NOTE
1. ORGANIZATION, OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES (Continued):
Products and services,
geographic areas and major customers
The
Company earns revenue from the sale of art products and design services, but
does not separate sales of different product lines into operating segments. The
Company does not separately report revenue from art products versus that from
design and consulting services, as both are generally sold to the customer as
part of a complete package, making separation impractical. All sales each year
were domestic and to external customers.
NOTE
2. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The
Company has a note payable to a Company officer. The note is unsecured and
payable upon demand. The note bears interest at 8% per annum if not paid
promptly upon demand. The outstanding principal balance on the note was $34,201
at December 31, 2008 and 2009.
The
Company purchases materials from and pays occasional operating expenses to a
company related through common control. Cost of goods sold incurred from the
related company was $150,042 (including $84,942 from discontinued operations)
and $119,682 (all from discontinued operations) in 2008 and 2009.
NOTE
3. INCOME TAXES
Deferred
income taxes arise from the temporary differences between financial statement
and income tax recognition of net operating losses. These loss carryovers are
limited under the Internal Revenue Code should a significant change in ownership
occur.
At
December 31, 2008 and 2009, after the spin off of its subsidiary the Company had
net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $65,000 and $88,000 which
begin to expire in 2026. The deferred tax asset of $13,000 and $18,000 created
by the net operating loss has been offset by a 100% valuation allowance. The
change in the valuation allowance in 2008 and 2009 was $8,900 and
$5,000.

5. WARRANT ISSUANCE – FORMER SUBSIDIARY
During
2008 the Company’s former subsidiary Art Dimensions, Inc., granted 350,000
common stock warrants to two entities including 300,000 to a related party,
allowing the holder to purchase one share of common stock of Art Dimensions,
Inc. per warrant, exercisable immediately at a price of $0.001 per share with
the warrant terms expiring in 2013. As of December 31, 2008 all of these
warrants remained outstanding. The fair value of these warrant grants were
estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with
the following assumptions: risk free interest rate of 3.52%, dividend yield of
0%, expected life of 5 years, volatility of 142%. The Company recorded total
compensation expense under the warrant issuances of $3,407 in 2008.

6. SPIN OFF TRANSACTION
Effective
December 17, 2009 the Company’s subsidiary Art Dimensions, Inc. was spun off
from Art Design, Inc. The Company returned to Art Dimensions, Inc. the 2,000,000
common shares of Art Dimensions, Inc. held by Art Design, Inc., and Art
Dimensions, Inc. then distributed to each Art Design, Inc. shareholder one
common share of Art Dimensions, Inc. for each ten shares of Art Design, Inc.
held by the shareholder. This resulted in a distribution of 1,082,060 Art
Dimensions, Inc. common shares, after which Art Dimensions, Inc. was no longer a
subsidiary of Art Design, Inc. The accompanying balance sheet at December 31,
2008 represents the consolidated financial position of both companies, with all
intercompany accounts eliminated. The 2009 balance sheet is that of Art Design,
Inc. subsequent to spinning off Art Dimensions, Inc. The results of operations
and cash flows of Art Dimensions, Inc. for 2008 and 2009 are reported on the
statements of operations and cash flows as discontinued operations.
NOTE
7. GOING CONCERN
The
Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a large working
capital deficit. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern. The Company may raise additional capital
through the sale of its equity securities, through offerings of debt securities,
or through borrowings from financial institutions. Management believes that
actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding provide the
opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

DISCLOSURE.
We did
not have any disagreements on accounting and financial disclosures with our
present accounting firm during the reporting period.
ITEM
9A(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Conclusion
Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the
supervision and with the participation of our management, including our
principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an
evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange
Act). Accordingly, our principal executive officer and principal
financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were
effective as of December 31, 2009.
Management’s
Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
Management
is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over
financial reporting (ICFR).
Our
internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation
of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.
S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Our
management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control
over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control — Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation, management has
concluded, as of December 31, 2009, we did maintain effective control over the
financial reporting process.
Inherent
Limitations Over Internal Controls
Internal
control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving
financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations, including
the possibility of human error and circumvention by collusion or overriding of
controls. Accordingly, even an effective internal control system may not prevent
or detect material misstatements on a timely basis. Also, projections of any
evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that
controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the
degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may
deteriorate.
Attestation
Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm.
This
annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent
registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial
reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our independent
registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that
permit us to provide only management's report in this annual
report.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
We have
made no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
control over financial reporting.

Indemnification
and Limitation on Liability of Directors
Our
Articles of Incorporation limit the liability of our directors to the fullest
extent permitted by Colorado law. Specifically, our directors will not be
personally liable to our company or any of its shareholders for monetary damages
for breach of fiduciary duty as directors, except liability for (i) any breach
of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders; (ii)
acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law; (iii) voting for or assenting to a distribution in
violation of Colorado Revised Statutes Section 7-106-401 or the articles of
incorporation if it is established that the director did not perform his duties
in compliance with Colorado Revised Statutes Section 7-108-401, provided that
the personal liability of a director in this circumstance shall be limited to
the amount of distribution which exceeds what could have been distributed
without violation of Colorado Revised Statutes Section 7-106-401 or the articles
of incorporation; or (iv) any transaction from which the director directly or
indirectly derives an improper personal benefit. Nothing contained in the
provisions will be construed to deprive any director of his right to all
defenses ordinarily available to the director nor will anything herein be
construed to deprive any director of any right he may have for contribution from
any other director or other person.
At present, there is no pending
litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors, officers, employees or
agents where indemnification will be required or permitted. Insofar as
indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of
the Commission such indemnificationis against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.
Item
11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.

compensation has been paid and no stock options granted to any of our officers

14: PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES
Our
independent auditor, Ronald R. Chadwick, P.C., Certified Public Accountants,
billed an aggregate of $8,500 for the year ended December 31, 2009 and for
professional services rendered for the audit of the Company's annual financial
statements and review of the financial statements included in its quarterly
reports. The firm billed an aggregate of $8,700 for the year ended December 31,
2008 and for professional services rendered for the audit of the Company's
annual financial statements and review of the financial statements included in
its quarterly reports.
We do not
have an audit committee and as a result our entire board of directors performs
the duties of an audit committee. Our board of directors evaluates the scope and
cost of the engagement of an auditor before the auditor renders audit and
non-audit services.
