Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
APRIL 30, 2004
(Unaudited)
Note 1 Basis of Preparation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements in the Form 10QSB are presented in accordance with the requirement 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 Companys annual report on Form KSB for the year ended October 31, 2003. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Note 2 Earnings Per Share
The Company calculates net income (loss) per share as required by Statement Financial Accounting Standard No. 128, 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. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding. During the periods presented common stock equivalents were not considered as their effect would be anti-dilutive.
Note 3 Stockholders Deficit
During the six month period ended April 30, 2004, the Company sold 68,450 shares of common stock for an average price of approximately $1.27 per share or $86,900.
Note 4 - Going Concern
The Companys financial statements are presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Company has experienced a significant loss from operations as a result of its investment necessary to achieve its operating plan, which is long-range in nature. For the period ended six month period ended April 30, 2004 and 2003, the Company incurred a net loss ($274,957) and ($1,296,515), respectively. Since the Companys inception, they have incurred a net loss from operations of ($3,251,187). The Company has a working capital deficit of ($247,084) and a stockholders deficit of ($558,677) at April 30, 2004. In addition, the Company has no significant revenue generating operations.
The Companys ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon its ability to attain profitable operations and secure financing. Further, the Companys ability to continue as a going concern must be considered in light of the problems, expenses and complications frequently encountered by entrance into established markets and the competitive environment in which the Company operates.
Note 5 Notes to Financial Statements
The Company is pursuing equity financing for its operations. Failure to secure such financing or to raise additional capital or borrow additional funds may result in the Company depleting its available funds and not being able to pay its obligations.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
ITEM 2. PLAN OF OPERATIONS
Plan of Operations
The following discussion provides information that we believe is relevant to our Plan of Operations, and should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-QSB. This discussion contains forward-looking statement based on our current expectations, assumptions, and estimates. The words or phrases believe, expect, may, anticipates, or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of a number of risks and uncertainties pertaining to our business, including: (a) Our limited operating history and our history of losses makes it difficult for you to evaluate our current and future business and prospects and future financial results; (b) If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we will be unable to proceed with our Plan of Operations and even if we obtain additional debt or equity financing, your equity interest in our stock will be diluted; (c) If RMF Global, Inc. violates the terms of its agreement with Ko-Myung Kim or we violate our agreement with RMF Global, Inc., we may have no eliotex by which to manufacture our products and we will have to terminate our business, and you will lose your entire investment; (d) If our products are found to cause injury, have defects, or fail to meet industry standards, we will incur substantial litigation, judgment, product liability, and product recall costs, which will increase our losses and negatively affect our band name reputation and product sales; (e) Because we offer only six products and our competitors have a variety of products, we may not obtain consumer acceptance of our products, which may adversely affect our ability to generate revenues; (f) We have not established the Innovative Design brand name or the idigear label, and eliotex has little, if any, name recognition, which may prevent us from generating revenues and reduce the value of your investment; (g) we do not have written agreements with certain companies and persons providing us with services and instead receive such services on a per project basis; and (h) other risk factors discussed in our From SB-2 Registration Statement which is available for review at www.sec.gov. The terms we, our, or us are used in this discussion refer to Innovative Designs, Inc. Statements made herein are as of the date of the filing of this Form 10-QSB with the Securities and Exchange Commission and should not be relied upon as of any subsequent date. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, we do not undertake, and we specifically disclaim any obligation, to update any forward-looking statements to reflect occurrences, developments, unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statement.
We cannot continue to satisfy our current cash requirements for a period of twelve (12) months through our existing capital. We anticipate spending cost in the following areas.
o
Update and develop our web site and develop our online marketing campaign;
o
Contract with manufacturer representatives to sell our online marketing campaign;
o
Design and develop literature, displays, and media and advertising materials;
o
Develop and maintain public relations campaigns;
o
Develop trade show booths;
o
Attend trade shows;
o
Develop and initiate online marketing campaign;
o
Establish relationships with retail chain outlets and mass merchandisers; and
o
Warehouse lease payments.
Accordingly, we will be unable to fund our expenses for our entire one year plan of operations through our existing assets or cash. Our Chief Executive Officer and President have each verbally agreed to loan us up to $400,000 for our operational needs which will be sufficient to meet our Plan of Operations or Alternative Plans of Operation. We may still need additional financing through traditional bank financing or a debt or equity offering; however, because we are a development stage company with no operating such financing or the amount of the financing may be minimal and therefore inadequate to implement our Plan of Operations. In addition, if we only have nominal funds by which to conduct our operations, we may have to curtail advertising or be unable to conduct any advertising, both of which will negatively impact development of our brand name and reputation. In the event that we do not receive financing or our financing is inadequate, we may have to liquidate our business and undertake any or all of the following actions:
o
Sell or dispose of our assets, if any;
o
Pay our liabilities in order of priority, if we have available cash to pay such liabilities;
o
If any cash remains after we satisfy amounts due to our creditors, distribute any remaining cash to our shareholders in an amount equal to the net market value of our net assets;
o
File a Certificate of Dissolution with the State of Delaware to dissolve our corporation and close our business;
o
Make the appropriate filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission so that we will no longer be required to file periodic and other required reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission, if, in fact, we are reporting company at that time; and
o
Make the appropriate filings with the National Association of Security Dealers to affect a delisting of our stock.
Based upon our current assets, however, we will not have the ability to distribute any cash to our shareholders.
If we have any liabilities that we, or our President and/or Chief Executive Officer on our behalf, are unable to satisfy and we qualify for protection under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, we may voluntarily file for reorganization under Chapter 11 or liquidation under Chapter 7 or Chapter 11 or liquidation under Chapter 7. Our creditors may also file a Chapter 7 or Chapter 11 bankruptcy action against us. If our creditors or we file for Chapter 7 or Chapter 11bankruptcy, our creditors will take priority over our shareholders. If we fail to file for bankruptcy under Chapter 7 or Chapter 11 and we have creditors; such creditors may institute proceedings against us seeking forfeiture of our assets, if any.
We do not know and cannot determine which, if any, of these actions we will be forced to take. If any of these foregoing events occur, you could lose your entire investment in our shares.
Our Plan of Operations to Date:
Here is the status of our accomplishments in fulfilling our Plan of Operations to date:
Reviewing Professional Marketing Organizations:

We assumed no direct material costs associated with the testing, prototype, and testing of these products because: (a) we did not utilize the services of any outside consultant or company for these purposes; (b) although we used the services of our Vice President of Sales and Marketing and Chief Executive Officer for these purposes, their efforts were part of their normal responsibilities; (c) prior to the time we had undertaken the design and prototype of these products, we had purchased for less than $1000; and (d) the testing of these products was performed in-house and were conducted by our Vice President of Sales and Marketing and Chief Executive Officer as part of their normal responsibilities.

In October 2002, we obtained the services on a per project basis of a website marketing consultant, BA Web Productions, located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to assist with marketing and developing our website, which has included adding new product selections, a product page, and links.

In November of 2002, we entered into a verbal agreement with a manufacturer representative group, Havel-Giarusso and Associates, located in Big Lake, Minnesota to sell our products to outdoor retail chains. This manufacturer representative group has relationships with outdoor retailers located in various states.
Additional Hiring:
From March 2003 to May 2003, we hired our Vice Presidents, Joseph A. Riccelli, Jr. and Michelle Griffith, on a full time, salaried position basis. From March 2003 to present, we hired two part time employees for clerical and warehouse duties at the rate of $7.00 per hour.
Letter Agreement with Victory Junction Gang Camp:
On March 6, 2003, we agreed to partner with Victory Junction Gang Camp in a cause related marketing alliance, and have added the Victory Junction Gang Camp logo and Internet link to our web site.

BA Web Productions updates, expands, and develops our web site. This ongoing campaign will start with search engine optimization strategies, and continue with banner advertisements and reciprocal linking campaigns with established web sites with complementary or relevant products and/or services to the companys products.
Our online marketing campaigns will entail the following:
o
Reciprocal linking with well-established websites with related content and/or complementary products;

Issuance of press releases about our products to targeted on-line publications; and
o
Strategic placement of banner advertisements on websites.

We will utilize marketing consultants to develop and implement professional photography and graphics, brochures, point-of-sale displays, mailers and literature, which we plan to use as a trade show exhibits, and sales tools for our sales representatives. We estimate that our total expenditure in this area will be $60,000.
Develop and Initiate Print Advertising:
Throughout our Plan of Operations and as a congruent part of our overall marketing strategy, we intend to initiate our targeted print advertising campaign in specific newspapers, magazines, and trade journals. We plan on beginning an advertising campaign with Teaser Ads, advertisements stating product and company information but not specific ads on one particular product, in outdoor publications and magazines along with trade show brochures. Additionally we will utilize ad space in chain store news and inserted flyers. We will utilize marketing/advertising agencies to assist in the design, development, printing, and distribution of these advertising campaigns, along with our Chief Executive Officer and Vice President of Sales and Marketing.
Develop and Maintain Public Relations Campaigns:
Starting in January 2004 and continuing throughout our Plan of Operations, we intend to utilize marketing consultants to develop advertisements and press releases for apparel and outdoor gear magazines and trade journals.

The estimated cost is $3,000 for consultant services, advertisements, press release submission via PR Newswire, software and administrative expenses.
The Company entered into a strategic marketing and licensing agreement with Arnold Palmer Enterprises to market the idigear products containing eliotex throughout the golf industry.
Establish Wholesale Relationships with Retail Chain Outlets and Mass Merchandisers to Carry Our Products and Product Promotion:
We plan to develop wholesale relationships or distribution points for our products. Throughout our Plan of Operations, we plan to implement sales campaigns to established retailers with the goal of establishing wholesale relationships. Our Chief Executive Officer and Vice President of Sales and Marketing will initiate these campaigns. Our sales campaigns will be on ongoing process and will consist of our sales representatives accomplishing the following:
o
Lead Generation Accomplished through cold calling, follow-up contacts from tradeshows and mailers, and networking with outdoor gear and apparel industry associations;
o
Personal Presentations to Executives and Purchasing Departments of Targeted Retailers Through these sales presentations, we will attempt to convince the retailer to purchase our products at wholesale prices for resale in their store or chain of stores. The orientation of the presentation will be an introduction of the innovative aspects of our products, as well as the advantages of our products over some of our competitors. For example, we will highlight the light weight, compactness, thermal insulation, and buoyancy features of eliotex used in our products. These personal presentations of our products will be on-location at prospects facilities to executives and purchasing departments and will include a product display and a video demonstration of the products in use;
o
Order Acquisition and Management Once the retailer places an order for products, the sales representative is responsible for managing the order fulfillment process, forwarding the purchase order to the distribution manage who will then arrange the shipping specifics, as well as coordinating the physical merchandising of our products on the shelves of the client stores. By maintaining this hands-on approach, we will attempt to continue successful relationships with our distributors; and
o
Relationship Management The sales representative is also responsible for maintaining on ongoing relationship with acquired distributors. Our Vice President of Sales and Marketing will enforce a regimented account management program. This program is to include monthly telephone contacts, and personal visits, once per six months minimum, with the distributor.

They are separate from our sleeping bag and are used to compress our sleeping bag when not in use. Rip Stop Nylon is the sole component of the compression sacks.
o
Mossy Oak Break and New Break-Up Camouflage Patterns
We will purchase Mossy Oak Break and New Break Up camouflage patterns from Haas Outdoors, Inc. for the outside portion of our stadium pillow products.
Raw Materials to be provided for our Jackets, Windshirts, and Ball Caps:
o
eliotex
eliotex will be used to provide insulation in our jackets, windshirts, and ball caps.
o
Polyester peached micorfiber
We will purchase polyester peached microfiber which is a type of grade microfiber from Roberts Textile Company located in New York, New York. It is durable and water repellent treated for our jackets, windshirts, and ball caps.
o
Rib Knit
We will purchase rib knit for our jackets, windshirts and ball caps from Green Mountain located in Knitter, Vermont. Rib knit is a mix of cotton and Lycra and is elastic and is used for the trip around the collars, waistbands and cuffs.
The delivery time involved for our new raw materials from the date of order to the date of delivery is less than one week for all stocked materials. Non-stocked materials or special orders may take up to two weeks for delivery.
The only raw product we store on a continual basis is eliotex which we store in our warehouse. Our warehouse space is sufficient for our storage of eliotex. For the other raw materials that are below 1000 piece goods, we have the materials shipped directly to the sub-manufacturer. For production runs in excess of 1000 piece goods, we arrange for the raw materials to be shipped to our warehouse facility, which is sufficient for that use; thereafter, we distribute to the sub-manufacturer the quantity needed for each production run and we store the remaining quantity. Payment typically will be due on an average of 30 to 60 days after receipt of the raw materials by our sub-manufacturer or our warehouse facility. Our Indonesia based manufacturer, PT. Lidya & amp; Natalia, has sole discretion in the sourcing and ordering of raw materials for their production runs, the costs of which we reimburse them.
Manufacturing
Swimeez Products
Our completed Swimeez swim suit products are sub-manufactured by R& M Apparel located in Gallitzen, Pennsylvania.
Sleeping Bag Products
Our completed sleeping bag products are sub-manufactured by Equinox located in Williamsport, Pennsylvania.
Stadium Pillow, Ballcap, and Jacket Products:
Our completed Stadium Pillow, ball cap, and jacket products are sub-manufactured by PT. Lidya & Natalia located in Sidoarjo, Indonesia. Because the predominant function of the Stadium Pillows is a sleeping bag, they are imported as sleeping bags. Indonesia does not impose quotas that limit the time period or quantity of items which can be imported. The United States Customs Service imposes a 9% importation duty for Indonesia based goods imported into the United States.
Windshirts
Our completed wind shirt products are sub-manufactured by CMT Contractors located in Butler, Pennsylvania.
We have no verbal or written agreements or long term agreements with any of our sub-manufacturers, and we do not plan to obtain such agreements. Our sub-manufacturers manufacture our products on a per order basis.
Product Design and Development
We plan to expand our sleeping bag and floating swimwear products and research and develop other apparel and accessory items containing eliotex. We plan to continually evaluate trends, monitor the needs and desires of consumers by conducting customer purchase follow-up, ongoing market research, and maintaining open channels of communication with our distributor retailers and manufacturer representatives. We plan to consult with our sub-manufacturers and raw material suppliers regarding the development and use of new materials and the enhancement of our product designs. In addition, we will continually evaluate our product lines for proper positioning in the marketplace, by:
o
Consulting with experts in the textiles and design engineering; and
o
Consulting with third-party apparel designers and outdoor equipment experts.
The steps involved in our prospective design and development are:
o
Product conception and design by our Chief Executive Officer, Vice Presidents, and/or third party designers;
o
Patterns made from design concept;
o
Pattern cut and distributed to contracted sub-manufacturer;
o
Sample manufactured The manufacturer constructs one or a few of the sample garments by combining and sewing the appropriate materials as specified in the design presentation;
o
Sample testing We plan to forward the sample garment to Vartest Laboratories, Inc. for testing regarding weight, water repellency, and thermal insulation properties or other aspects depending on the type of product being tested and product functions. In addition, our Officers and Directors will be asked to use the prototype products to provide feedback to the designer of the product and possible product improvements; and
o
Final manufacturing plans submitted to manufacturer for production sample.
Based on previous product development experience, we expect that our product development cycle, from initial design to product introduction will take three to twelve months, depending upon the complexity of the design and associated testing. Based on our previously established relationships with garment manufacturers, we estimate new product design and development costs at roughly $5,000 per new item. We estimate that we will develop no more than two new products during our Plan of Operations from February 2004 to September 2004. We have not yet designed or commenced development of any new products.
Although we are not currently developing products that will contain eliotex for use in the military and airline industries, we may do so in the future. Because eliotex has insulation and water repellent properties, it potentially has widespread application to products that may be used by the military and airline industries, such as additional sleeping bag products or flotation devices. We anticipate that we will not begin to develop such products until we have effectively penetrated the sporting goods market or established sufficient market share that enables us to allocate resources for this type of industry specific application development and material testing procedures, which we do not anticipate until we complete our Plan of Operations over the next 12 months as detailed above.
Our Plan of Operations is dependent upon our ability to generate revenues to fund our operations; however, our revenues may be insufficient to provide adequate funding. If our revenues are insufficient, Joseph Riccelli, our Chief Executive Officer, and Frank Riccelli, our President, have verbally agreed to loan us sufficient funds to meet our Plan of Operations or Alternative Plans of Operation. Messrs. Joseph and Frank Riccelli have further verbally agreed to loan us sufficient funds at no interest, with no specified term for the repayment of the loan. We may seek financing through traditional bank financing. However, because we are a development stage company with a poor financial condition, financial institutions may no provide us with financing, in which case we may have to curtail or cease our operations and you may lose your entire investment.
Intellectual Property
In April 2004 the Company received the ™ and ® for the mark “i.d.i.gear” from the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash at April 30, 2004 amounted to $49,013. We have experienced significant losses from our operations. Our ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon our ability to attain profitable operations and secure financing. Although we are pursuing financing to expand our operations, there are no assurances that we will be successful in obtaining such financing. Our failure to secure financing or expand our operations may result in our not being able to continue as a going concern. For the period ended April 30, 2004, we incurred a net loss of $145,673 and a net loss of $3,251,187 since inception. The net loss since inception includes (1) losses on transactions in which Company common stock was issued in exchange for services and (2) interest accrued on the note payable to RMF Global.
ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of April 30, 2004, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of April 30, 2004.
There have been no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended April 30, 2004, or subsequent to April 30, 2004, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 2. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
During the quarter ended April 30, 2004, the Company sold 50,000 shares of its common stock to Anthony Kesslock for a price of $1.00 per share. The Company relied upon the exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 because the sale did not involve a public offering.
