ITEM 1.              DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.

The Company, which was incorporated in the State of Delaware on June 25, 2002, markets cold weather recreational and industrial clothing products that are made from INSULTEX, a low density foamed polyethylene, a material with buoyancy, scent block, and thermal resistant properties.  We have a license agreement directly with the owner of the INSULTEX Technology.

The distribution rights we have are derived from our license agreement.  As such, we purchase INSULTEX to be used in the manufacturing of our products.  Similarly, other companies are free to purchase INSULTEX from us assuming that it is a company within the distribution jurisdiction that we have, which is worldwide with the exception of Korea and Japan.  Other than Korea and Japan, we are the sole worldwide supplier/distributor of the INSULTEX material.

We offer the following products containing INSULTEX:
 
 
·
Floating Swimwear: Product under our product name "Swimeez".  Our swimwear is designed to be a swim aid.  The interior lining of our swimwear product is made from INSULTEX, which enhances floatability.  This product was discontinued during 2010.
 
 
·
Hunting Apparel Line: Our hunting apparel provides almost total block from odors provided by the INSULTEX material.  This product was discontinued during 2010.
 
 
·
Arctic Armor Line: The Arctic Armor line, introduced in April of 2006, consists of a jacket, bib and gloves.  The suit contains 3 layers of INSULTEX for uncompromised warmth and provides the user with guaranteed buoyancy.  The gloves contain a single layer of INSULTEX and are windproof, waterproof and good to sub-zero temperatures as are the jacket and bibs.

 
·
House Wrap:  We will, beginning in 2011, offer our house wrap product for the building construction industry.  This product, made from INSULTEX, will provide barrier protection plus moisture vapor transmission and approximately R2 insulation.

 
·
INSULTEX Material:  we sell INSULTEX material in bulk to non-competing customers.

We also offer a product that helps restore the waterproof character of the outer side of our Arctic Armor clothing.

Our products, except for our gloves and headwear which are manufactured in China by purchase order, are manufactured, under agreement, at a facility we currently utilize in Indonesia.  We assumed no material costs associated with the design, prototyping, and testing of these products because: (a) we did not utilize the services of any outside consultant or company for these purposes and (b) although we used the services of our Chief Executive Officer and Vice President of Sales and Marketing for these purposes, their efforts are part of their normal responsibilities.

The INSULTEX License and Manufacturing Agreement

Under the terms of the agreement between us and the Ketut Group, Ketut Group agrees to promptly deliver to Innovative Designs, Inc. within twenty-eight (28) days of receiving an order, all INSULTEX ordered by us.  Under the terms of the agreement, we are required to pay a fixed amount per meter of INSULTEX.  This fixed amount will not change under the agreement for a period of ten (10) years after the date of the agreement was signed, which was April 1, 2006.  The agreement provides that after the ten (10) year period, the price of the INSULTEX shall be adjusted for a subsequent ten (10) year term, no more than twelve percent (12%) per the subsequent ten (10) year period.  We order INSULTEX from time to time as needed and are not required to purchase any minimum amount of INSULTEX during the term of the agreement, and we are not required to make any minimum annual payment.  However, should we place an order; any quantity ordered must be a minimum of 35,000 meters of INSULTEX.  We are not required to pay any part of any sublicense fee that we receives from third party sublicensees, and we are not required to pay any fees to the Ketut Group.  This agreement will be in full legal force and effect for an initial term of ten (10) years from the date of its execution.  We have the option to renew this agreement for up to three (3) successive terms of ten (10) years each by giving notice of our intention to so renew not less than ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the then-current term.

The Haas Agreement

On June 16, 2003, we completed an agreement with Haas Outdoors in which Haas Outdoors granted us a non-exclusive wholesale license in North America to: (a) manufacture, or sell products or to have manufactured for us, and to sell licensed products of Haas Outdoors; and (b) use the licensed trademark of Haas Outdoors in association with the marketing and sale of licensed products.  The agreement defines licensed products as a product which bears or otherwise includes Haas Outdoors' licensed design and is further restricted to mean only our outdoor apparel.  "Licensed design" is defined in the agreement as the camouflage pattern(s) known as the Mossy Oak Break-Up and/or New BreakUp and Duck Blind patterns and which is covered by Haas Outdoors' copyrights, including but limited to United States Copyright Registration No. 2,227,642.  The agreement defines "licensed trademark" as Haas Outdoors' trademarks Mossy Oak Break-Up and/or New BreakUp and Duck Blind patterns.  The term of the agreement is two years from the effective date of the agreement, May 30, 2003.  During 2010, the Company extended the terms of this agreement with Haas Outdoors for an additional two years.  We paid a one time $250 licensing fee for these rights.  We are also required to pay to Haas Outdoors a running royalty, which is included in the price of fabrics purchased from licensed vendors of Haas Outdoors.

In addition, the agreement provides that we, as the licensee in the agreement are required to: (a) place on the licensed products in a manner prescribed by copyright laws and unless otherwise indicated, a sufficient copyright notice including the copyright notice, the year of publication, and an identification of Haas Outdoors as the owner; and (b) in all instances where Haas Outdoors so desires, we will include on licensed products the authorized trademark associated with the authorized design.  We also agreed that nothing in the agreement will confer upon us any proprietary interest in the licensed designs, the licensed trademarks, or any other copyright, trademark and patents rights owned by Haas Outdoors.  In addition, we agreed that Haas Outdoors is the owner of the licensed designs and licensed trademarks and that we will not contest the validity or enforceability of the licensed trademarks or Haas Outdoors copyrights in the licensed designs.

The Jordan Agreement.

In April 2008, we entered into a licensed agreement with Jordan Outdoor Enterprises, Ltd. for the use of their REAL TREE and ADVANTAGE trademarked artistic camouflage designs.  We may use the designs in our hooded jacket, insulated bibs and waterproof/breathable gloves.  We must submit all samples of proposed products for preapproval as well as all catalog, advertising, display or promotional copy.  Official hangtags or stickers must be affixed to all covered products.  All fabrics with the authorized patters must be purchased from an authorized fabric source.  The term of the agreement is for five years with the licensor having the right to terminate the agreement upon thirty days notice.  We paid a $500 execution fee.

Arctic Armor Line

Our Arctic Armor line products are intended for use by the following consumer groups that are in the Company’s target market for these products:

 
·
Ice fisherman
 
·
Snowmobilers
 
·
Utility workers
 
·
Oil/gas pipeline workers

House Wrap

In early January 2008, we announced that we had completed our research and development effort on a new use for INSULTEX as a house wrap for the building construction industry.  This house wrap will provide barrier protection plus moisture vapor transmission and the novel feature of approximately R2 insulation.  The house wrap was designed specifically to add enhanced insulating characteristics.  In addition the house wrap will be priced competitively with existing house wraps that do not provide any insulation.  The development efforts were conducted by our own personnel.  The testing phase has been completed and the product was found to be up to code and we are now offering it for sale..

Website and Retailers

We sell both wholesale and retail products on our web site.  Our web site, located at www.idigear.com, contains information on our products, technical information on INSULTEX insulation, e-commerce capabilities with "shopping cart", wholesaler information and order forms, company contact information, and links to retailers that carry our products.  We have obtained the services of BA Web Productions who assists us in designing and continually developing our website.  Our web site features a "wholesaler only" area, allowing our wholesalers access to information, ordering, and reordering.  The web site is hosted by Nidhog Hosting.  The secure payment gateway provider for our online e-commerce is First Data..  Our products are offered and sold by retailers, distributors and through our web site in all states, Canada, the Russian Federation and Finland.  Except for products sold through our web site others who purchase our products do so at wholesale prices which they plan to sell at their retail prices, or use within their industry:

Sales

We primarily sell our products through independent sales agents and agencies.  Once we have made contact with a potential sales agency or solo agent, we evaluate their existing accounts, the capacity and potential for them to effectively push our products.  We also look at their current product lines through the sales channel.  Our primary market area is the outdoor industry which includes all activity done in cold weather.  These activities include recreational such as hunting, ice fishing, snowmobiling, and industries such as oil and gas, utilities and construction.  Once we agree to bring on an independent sales agent or agency, we enter into a standard agreement.

A typical sales representative agreement will have a term of one year with the right of either party to terminate upon thirty days written notice.  We do not provide any free samples of our products and all sales expenses are the sole obligation of the sales agent.  In the case of our agreement for the Russian and Finland Federation, the agent is required to prepay for all products ordered.

Certain retailers buy directly from us.  We have no verbal or written agreements with them.  These retailers purchase our products strictly on a purchase order basis.  During our last fiscal year, we sold our products to such retailers as Gander Mountain, Scheels, and Frank’s Great Outdoors.  Some of our distributors during the last fiscal year were Big Rock Sports, Triple S Pro Fishing Supplies, KTL Canada, Thomas Industries and Cannon Tackle.  We  distribute our products to the following:

Swimeez Products

We distribute our Swimeez products through a distributor and through our web site.

Hunting Apparel Line

We distribute our hunting apparel through a distributor and through our web site.

Six pocket pants, 1/2 zip pullover jacket with collar, parka jacket, fleece jacket, guide series shirt, bib coveralls in light weight, bib coveralls in arctic weight.  We distribute these products to the public, through product information mailings to prospective retail buyers and private showings to targeted buyers in the retail industry.

Arctic Armor Line

We distribute the Arctic Armor Line to retailers and distributors across the United States, Canada and the  Russian Federation and Finland.  These products are also marketed to utility companies, oil/gas pipeline workers, railroad workers,  police and first responders and to construction workers.

We ship wholesale product orders by United Parcel Service or trucking companies.  Retail orders from our website are shipped United Parcel Ground Service or Federal Express overnight.  The costs of shipping our finished goods are paid by our customers.  We have not instituted any formal arrangements or agreements with United Parcel Service, Federal Express or trucking companies, and we do not intend to do so.

Our "idigear" label is sewn on all of our products.  Haas Outdoors, Inc.'s Mossy Oak Break Up and New Break Up and Duck Blind hang tags are attached only to our "Mossy Oak pattern" outdoor apparel products.  Additionally, we will be utilizing the Mossy Oak camouflage on the new products that we are in the development stages of introducing, which will feature the Mossy Oak hang tag with our "idigear" hang tag.  REAL TREE and ADVANTAGE hangtags are used for products using these patterns.

INSULTEX will be used in all our finished goods, except for our headwear, and will be purchased directly from the Ketut Group.

All of our products, except for our gloves, which are produced in China, are sub-manufactured by PT Lidya and Natalia located in Indonesia.  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 on all finished goods, based upon our completed stadium packs.  All other products are 6.5% including INSULTEX.

We have no verbal or written agreements or long term agreements with PT Lidya and Natalia and we do not plan to obtain any such agreements.  Our products are manufactured on a per order basis.

The fulfillment process involved in completing wholesale orders for non-stocked swimsuit, hunting line and arctic armor products is described below:

 
·
We receive a purchase order for a certain number of items from a wholesale purchaser by hand delivery, fax, courier, or mail, with an authorized signature of the purchaser.  We do not accept telephone orders.

 
·
We contact our sub-manufacturers with the details of the order, including the number of units to be produced according to design or model, size, or color.  The sub-manufacturer procures all materials required for the product.

 
·
We complete and forward a purchase order to the manufacturer.  The manufacturer approves or disapproves a purchase order.

 
·
If the purchase order is approved, the manufacturer responds with a final cost, production schedule and date the goods will be delivered to us.

 
·
Our sub-manufacturers ship finished goods to us.

 
·
We receive finished goods, and facilitate turn-around for shipment to retailers.  Goods are received in our distribution center where they are packaged in Master Packs, hang tags attached, and UPC/UCC codes labels applied to items for retailer distribution.

Any inventory we maintain is stored at our warehousing facility.  Our warehouse facility has the capacity to hold 250,000 finished products in inventory.

In  2003, we were granted a trademark for our name "idigear" with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

In  2005, we were granted the mark "INSULTEX" by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

In December 2009, we filed a patent application, No. 12 642714, with the United States Patent and Trademark Office for our Composite House Warp.  The application is still pending.

Our production costs are limited to the invoices we receive from our sub-manufacturer, PT Lidya and Natalia, on a per production basis and for our gloves from our supplier in China.

Because we use sub-manufacturers for our products, we do not require any equipment for manufacturing and we do expect to incur any material costs affiliated with purchase of plant and significant equipment.  We do not currently have any plant or significant equipment to sell.

We have spent no funds on research and development of our products.  In March of 1999, our ex-affiliate, RMF Global, hired and paid $5,275 to Vartest Laboratories, Inc. to perform testing of the INSULTEX material.  Other than the testing performed by Vartest Laboratories, Inc, Innovative Designs, Inc. has spent no significant funds on research and development.

The Vartest Laboratories test results establish the buoyancy and insulation qualities of INSULTEX.  The results are as follows:

Issue
 
Test Result
         
Fabric Weight
 
0.042 oz./square yard

During 2005, the Company hired Texas Research Institute Austin, Inc. to perform testing on the permeation of gas on the INSULTEX product.  The testing was based upon accepted industry practices.  The permeation test resulted in almost no detection of the gas through the INSULTEX throughout the testing procedures.

Although we are not aware of the need for any government approval of our principal products, we may be subject to such approvals in the future.

United States and foreign regulations may subject us to increased regulation costs, and possibly fines or restrictions on conducting our business.  We are subject, directly or indirectly, to governmental regulations pertaining to the following government agencies:
 
 
- 8 -

 

Federal Trade Commission

The product suppliers and manufacturers of our products, to the extent that they are involved in the manufacturing, processing, formulating, packaging, labeling and advertising of the products, may be subject to regulations by the Federal Trade Commission which may bring injunctive action to terminate the sale of such products, impose civil penalties, criminal prosecutions, product seizures, and voluntary recalls.  Should we or our suppliers become subject to any such orders or actions, our brand name reputation and that of our suppliers and products will be adversely affected and our business would be negatively affected.

United States Customs Service

We are required to pay a 7.1% importation duty to the United States Customs Service on all finished goods.  All other products are 6.5% including INSULTEX.  We import INSULTEX from Indonesia from the Ketut Group, in accordance with Innovative Design’s agreement with the Ketut Group.

United States Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration

Because our sub-manufacturers manufacture our completed products, we and our sub-manufacturers will be subject to the regulations of the United States Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

We are not aware of any governmental regulations that will affect the Internet aspects of our business.  However, due to increasing usage of the Internet, a number of laws and regulations may be adopted relating to the Internet covering user privacy, pricing, and characteristics and quality of products and services.  Furthermore, the growth and development of Internet commerce may prompt more stringent consumer protection laws imposing additional burdens on those companies conducting business over the Internet.  The adoption of any additional laws or regulations may decrease the growth of the Internet, which, in turn, could decrease the demand for Internet services and increase the cost of doing business on the Internet.  These factors may have an adverse affect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Moreover, the interpretation of sales tax, libel, and personal privacy laws applied to Internet commerce is uncertain and unresolved.  We may be required to qualify to do business as a foreign corporation in each such state or foreign country.  Our failure to qualify as a foreign corporation in a jurisdiction where we are required to do so could subject us to taxes and penalties.  Any such existing or new legislation or regulation, including state sales tax, or the application of laws or regulations from jurisdictions whose laws do not currently apply to our business, could have a material adverse affect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We currently have no costs associated with compliance with environmental regulations. Because we do not manufacture our products, but rather they are manufactured by our sub-manufacturers, we do not anticipate any costs associated with environmental compliance. Moreover, the delivery and distribution of our products will not involve substantial discharge of environmental pollutants.  However, there can be no assurance that we will not incur such costs in the future.

We estimate that all of our revenues will be from the sale of our products.  We will sell our products at prices above our original cost to produce our products.  Prices for some of our products will be lower than similar products of our competitors, while others will be higher.  We expect our product prices to be lower than network marketing companies, but higher compared with retail establishments that directly manufacture their own products.
 
 
- 9 -

 
 
Products that are sold directly by our website will be priced according to our Manufacturer Suggested Retail Prices.  Our wholesale clients will purchase our products at our wholesale prices.  We recommend that our retailer clients sell our products at the Manufacturer Suggested Retail Prices that we provide to them which are the same prices for products on our website; however, they are not required to do so and may price our products for retail sale at their discretion.  We have established M.A.P. (minimum advertised pricing) on our Arctic Armor™ suit in an attempt to allow all retailers and distributors carrying the line to obtain reasonable gross margin dollars.

We currently have a total of 4 employees, 2 of which are full time employees and 2 of which are part-time employees.  We also use a consultant to head our sales and marketing effort.

We have no collective bargaining or employment agreements.

Reports and Other Information to Shareholders

We are subject to the informational requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Accordingly, we file annual, quarterly and other reports and information with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  You may read and copy these reports and other information we file at the Securities and Exchange Commission's public reference rooms in Washington, D.C., New York, New York, and Chicago, Illinois.  Our filings are also available to the public from commercial document retrieval services and the Internet world wide website maintained by the Securities and Exchange Commission at www.sec.gov.

ITEM 1A           RISK FACTORS.

Competition

The markets served by the Company are highly competitive.  Competitive pricing pressure could result in loss of customers or decreased profit margins.  Competition by product type includes the following:

The markets for our products are increasingly competitive.  Our competitors have substantially longer operating histories, greater brand name and company name recognition, larger customer bases and greater financial, operating, and technical resources than us.  Because we are financially and operationally smaller than our competitors, we will encounter difficulties in capturing market share.  Our competitors are able to conduct extensive marketing campaigns and create more attractive pricing of their target markets than we are.

Some of our biggest competitors in the Arctic Armor™ line are:

 
·
Ice Clam Corporation
 
·
Vexilar
 
·
Mustang Survival

We compete in the following ways:

A.     Emphasize the Advantages of our Products.
 
 
- 10 -

 

Floating Swimwear Products

We emphasize the following characteristics of our swimeez swimsuit product:

 
·
inherent buoyancy of INSULTEX which is sewn into our swimsuit and results in a less obtrusive swimming experience while still retaining buoyancy in comparison to some of our competitors; and
 
·
low weight.

Hunting Line

We emphasize the following characteristics and advantages of our hunting line products:

 
·
light weight;
 
·
compactness;
 
·
water proof;
 
·
thermal insulation properties which makes a thinner more compact and warmer garment or accessory than some of our competitors;
 
·
competitive wholesale and retail prices; and
 
·
introduction of a new proprietary technical insulation, i.e. "INSULTEX", to the hunting industry that has fewer such technical insulations in use by that industry; and
 
·
scent barrier.

Arctic Armor Line

We emphasize the following characteristics and advantages of our Arctic Armor line products:

 
·
light weight
 
·
waterproof
 
·
windproof
 
·
sub-zero protection
 
·
buoyancy

The basis for our above product claims is derived from the Vartest Lab Results, a fiber/yarn, fabric and apparel testing firm.

INSULTEX provides a scent barrier which we had a permeation test performed on at the Texas Research Institute Austin, Inc.  The product was subjected to gas simulant for an eight-hour period.  The product was tested for permeation of the gas every three minutes for the duration of the test with almost no detection of the gas throughout the test.  The testing was based upon accepted industry practices as well as the test method used.

B.
Utilize our web site to promote, market, and sell our products to consumers.

C.
Utilize professional sales representatives and manufacturer representatives to sell our products to established retailers, especially sporting goods retailers.
 
 
- 11 -

 

Our products have the following disadvantages in comparison to the products of our competitors:

 
·
Lack of brand name recognition or recognition of the properties of INSULTEX and its advantages.  We, as well as our products, have little brand name recognition compared to our competitors.  And we may encounter difficulties in establishing product recognition.  Also, although our products have insulation properties, the material "down" has a widespread and established reputation as being the superior insulation in the market, while the properties and advantages of INSULTEX has little public recognition.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete in the sale of our products, which could have a negative impact upon our business.

We do not expect our business to be dependent on one or a few customers or retailers; however, there is no assurance that we will not become so dependent.

Cyclicality

The Company’s apparel sales fluctuate based on temperature and weather conditions.  Our products are suitable primarily for cold weather conditions.  This will cause a cyclical effect on sales.  It also makes our revenues totally dependent on cold weather

Material Acquisition

All of the materials and items required to manufacture our products are purchased by our manufacturer in Indonesia with the exception of the Mossy Oak material and the Real Tree.  We order the Mossy Oak material and it is delivered to our manufacturer.

The Company has only one supplier of INSULTEX, the special material which is manufactured within the apparel of our products.  Additionally, we have one manufacturer that produces the apparel on behalf of the Company, located in Indonesia.  Any delays in getting INSULTEX and/or our finished products adversely affect our revenue stream

Our Indonesia based manufacturer, PT Lidya and Natalia, has sole discretion in the sourcing and ordering of materials for their production runs, the costs of which we reimburse PT Lidya and Natalia.

Geographic Concentration

Many of the Company’s sales to retailers are concentrated in colder climates of the United States and Canada.  To the extent that any regional economic downturn impacts these regions, the Company will be adversely affected.

Management

The Company is dependent on the management of Joseph Riccelli, Sr., our Chief Executive Officer.  The loss of Mr. Riccelli’s services could have a negative impact on the performance and growth of the Company for some period of time.
 
 
- 12 -

 

Stock Price

The Company’s stock is thinly traded.  Should a major shareholder decide to liquidate its position, there could be a negative effect on the price of the stock until this condition is resolved.

Penny Stock Considerations

Our shares are "penny stocks" as that term is generally defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as equity securities with a price of less than $5.00.  Our shares may be subject to rules that impose sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who engage in certain transactions involving a penny stock.

Under the penny stock regulations, a broker-dealer selling a penny stock to anyone other than an established customer or "accredited investor" must make a special suitability determination regarding the purchaser and must receive the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the sale, unless the broker-dealer is otherwise exempt.  Generally, an individual with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 individually or $300,000 together with his or her spouse is considered an accredited investor.  In addition, under the penny stock regulations the broker-dealer is required to:

 
·
Deliver, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the penny stock market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt;

 
·
Disclose commissions payable to the broker-dealer and its registered representatives and current bid and offer quotations for the securities;

 
·
Send monthly statements disclosing recent price information pertaining to the penny stock held in a customer's account, the account's value and information regarding the limited market in penny stocks; and

 
·
Make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction, prior to conducting any penny stock transaction in the customer's account.

Because of these regulations, broker-dealers may encounter difficulties in their attempt to sell shares of our stock, which may affect the ability of shareholders or other holders to sell their shares in the secondary market and have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market.  These additional sales practice and disclosure requirements could impede the sale of our securities if our securities become publicly traded. In addition, the liquidity for our securities may be adversely affected, with a corresponding decrease in the price of our securities.  Our shares may someday be subject to such penny stock rules and our shareholders will, in all likelihood, find it difficult to sell their securities.

Significant Customers

Fiscal years ended October 31, 2010 and 2009

Results of Operations

Revenues for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010, were $1, 108,955 compared to revenues of $837,224 for the comparable period ending October 31, 2009.  The increase is a result of more retailers selling our products and our products becoming better known.  Nearly all of our revenues were derived from our Arctic Armor product line.  During the period we took back products valued at approximately $78,700 from a distributor.  We were not required to accept the return but made a business decision to do so.

Selling, general and administrative expense increased from $418,834 in fiscal year 2009, to $420,768, in fiscal year ending October 31, 2010.  Some of the increases were for salary of approximately $9,000, embroidery cost of approximately $7,000, insurance increases of approximately $6,000 and selling commissions of approximately $9,000.

Our cost of sales increase included a write down of obsolete inventory of approximately $126,000.  The inventory write down consisted primarily of our swimwear and hunting product lines.  We no longer manufacture any of these product lines.  One of our distributors has indicated that they will start to offer these lines in the warmer climates in which they operate.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010, we funded our operations from revenues from sales, and loans from our Chief Executive Officer and others.  We will continue to fund our operations from these sources and the possible sale of our securities until we are able to secure commercial lending arrangements.

Short Term:  We funded our operations with revenues from sales and from loans from our Chief Executive Officer and others.  During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010, we borrowed approximately $ 311,500, from these sources.  We cannot access commercial lines of credit.

Our debt obligations consist of the following:

 
·
US SBA Loan.  The amount was $280,100.  This was a disaster loan assistance program.  The date of the loan was July 12, 2005.  The interest rate is 2.9% yearly.  Payments are $1,186 per month for thirty years.  The loan is guaranteed by our CEO and he and his spouse have pledged certain assets as collateral for the loan.  The loan was modified on January 23, 2006.  The new loan amount is $430,000.  The monthly payments are $1,820 and the loan matures in July 2035.  As the loan was for a specific disaster assistance program we cannot obtain any additional funds.

 
·
James Kearney.  The principal amount of the loan is $45,000 and the interest owed is $92,000.  Interest has stopped on the loan.  Interest and principle are due and payable in full at any time after December 10, 2005.  In December 2010, we paid down $10,000 of the amount owed leaving a principle balance of $35,000.

 
·
Riccelli Properties.  Riccelli Properties is owned by our CEO.  The amount of the advances is $16,416.  The advances were made on an oral basis at various times between 2004 and 2009.  The advances are non-interest bearing and there are no repayment terms.

·
Daryl Zaentz.  The amount of the loan is $15,000.  Interest is at 10% for 120 days.  The principal and interest is due on demand on January 6, 2011.  As of March 11, 2011, the loan had been paid.

 
·
Daryl Zaentz.  The amount of the loan is $35,000.  Interest is at 10% for 120 days.  The principal and interest is due on demand on February 16, 2011.  As of March 11, 2011, the loan has been paid.

 
·

·
Dr. John V. Bailliet.  The amount of the loan is $20,000.  Interest is at 10% for 90 days.  The principal and interest is due on demand on November 28, 2010.  As of March 11, 2011, the advance has been paid in full.

 
·

The Company intends to repay these debt obligation with funds it generates from revenues, from the possible sale of its securities either debt or equity, from advances from its CEO or other stockholders or from commercial loan arrangements.  Because we cannot currently access commercial lending facilities, should we not be able to continue to obtain funding from our CEO and/or other individuals or sell our securities or should our revenues decrease our operations would be severely effected as we would not be able to fund our purchase orders to our suppliers for finished goods.  The Company continues to pay its creditors when payments are due and has been successful in expanding its sales base into the oil and gas industry and the railroad industry and other areas where cold weather clothing is required.

Long Term: The Company will continue to fund operations from revenues, borrowings and the possible sale of its securities.  Should we not be able to continue to rely on these sources our operations would be severely effected as we would not be able to fund our purchase orders to our suppliers for finished goods.  The Company is currently pursing financing to fund its long-term liquidity needs.  We are attempting to obtain purchase order financing which would greatly assist our cash flow and allow us to expand our marketing efforts.  We are also seeking a commercial line of credit.

ITEM 9A. (T)   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management, including our principal executive/financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of disclosure controls and procedures as of October 31, 2010 and, based on their evaluation, our principal executive/financial officers have concluded that these controls and procedures are ineffective.  During the fourth quarter end October 31, 2010, it was noted that the Company was not able to close the books and records in a timely fashion, hence the delay in filing the Form 10K.  Additionally, a number of adjusting journal entries were needed to be performed to correctly reflect the balances.

Effective March 19, 2008, our Chief Executive Officer temporarily assumed the duties of the Chief Financial Officer.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act.  Our management determined that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of October 31, 2010.

Our management has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of October 31, 2010, based on the framework and criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

There have been no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010 and 2009, or subsequent to October 31, 2010, that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, except as discussed above.

Joseph Riccelli has been our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board since our inception in June 2002.  Mr. Riccelli was the owner of Pittsburgh Foreign and Domestic, a sole proprietor car dealership located in Glenshaw, Pennsylvania. Joseph Riccelli attended Point Park College located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania from 1971 to 1972.

Dean P. Kolocouris has been one of our Directors since our inception in June 2002. From December 1996 to present, Mr. Kolocouris has been a Loan Officer and Assistant Vice President at Eastern Savings Bank located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.  In June 1993, Mr. Kolocouris received a Bachelors Degree in Finance from Duquesne University located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Robert D.

Audit Committee

We do not have a separate standing Audit Committee.  Therefore, our entire Board of Directors acts as the Audit Committee.  The Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Dean Kolocouris is its financial expert.  Mr. Kolocouris is a loan officer for a bank and has a degree in Finance.

Nominating and Compensation Committees

We do not have either a nominating committee or a compensation committee.  The basis for the Board of Directors to not have a nominating committee is the fact that our principal stockholder who is also our CEO and Chairman of the Board controls approximately sixty percent of the voting stock.  And the Company has never held an Annual Meeting of stockholders.  New board members are recommended to the Board by the Chairman of the Board.

Board of Directors Meetings

During the last full fiscal year there were three meetings of the Board of Directors.

Code of Ethics

We have not, as yet, adopted a code of ethics.  We have only one full time executive officer/ chief financial officer who also acts as our principal accounting officer.  To date, our operations have been so minimal and our staff so small that we have not considered a formal standard relating to the conduct of our personnel.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT


To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
 Innovative Designs, Inc.
 Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Innovative Designs, Inc. as of October 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years ended October 31, 2010 and 2009.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  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 by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Innovative Designs, Inc. as of October 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations, and its cash flows for the years ended October 31, 2010 and 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

INNOVATIVE DESIGNS, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. 
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations - Innovative Designs, Inc. (the “Company”), which was incorporated in the State of Delaware on June 25, 2002, markets cold weather recreational and industrial clothing products that are made from INSULTEX, a low density foamed polyethylene, a material with buoyancy, scent block, and thermal resistant properties.  These products are offered and sold by retailers, distributors, and companies throughout the United States, Canada, the Russian Federation and Finland.

Basis of Accounting - The financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in which revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recognized when incurred.

Fiscal Year End - The Company’s fiscal year ends on October 31.

Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and disclosures.  Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions.

Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company defines cash and cash equivalents as those highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less.

Revenue Recognition - The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is probable.  Revenue is derived from sales of the Company’s recreational products such as artic armor.  Sales of these items are recognized when the items are shipped.  The Company offers a 5 day return policy and no warranty on all of its products.  All sales outside the United States are entered into using the U.S. dollar as its functional currency.  During 2010, the Company took back products from two customers that accounted for $93,070 in revenue.  The Company was not required to accept the return but made a business decision to do so.

Financial Instruments - Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of October 31, 2010 and 2009.  The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values.  These financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes payable.  Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for these financial instruments because they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values.  The carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt approximated its fair value based on the current market conditions for similar debt instruments.

Allowance for Bad Debts - The Company considers all accounts receivable balances to be fully collectable at October 31, 2010 and 2009, accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts is provided.  If amounts become uncollectible, they will be charged to operations when the determination is made.

Inventory - Inventory consists principally of purchased finished goods.  Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market on a first-in, first-out basis.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
The Company has decided to discontinue the manufacturing of its hunting and swimming line of apparel.  The Company has booked a reserve against this inventory at October 31, 2010 of approximately $126,000.

Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are recorded at cost.  Depreciation is computed using the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.

Property and equipment are summarized by major classification as follows:

Equipment
7 years
Furniture and fixtures
7 years
Leasehold improvements
5 years
Automobiles
5 years

Maintenance and repairs are charged to operating expenses as incurred, significant improvements are capitalized.  When property is sold or otherwise disposed of, the asset account and related accumulated depreciation account are relieved, and any gain or loss is included in operations.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - The Company reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost-carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate.  The Company assesses recoverability of the carrying value of the asset by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition.  If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset's carrying value and fair value.  There was no impairment of long-lived assets during 2010.

Income Taxes - The Company follows FASB ASC 740 "Accounting for Income Taxes" for recording the provision for income taxes.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled.  Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability each period.  If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.  Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change.

Net Income Per Common Share - The Company calculates net income per share as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards FASB ASC 260, "Earnings per Share."  Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  The Company did not compute dilutive earnings per share because there is only one class of stock.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
Stock-Based Compensation - The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to employees for services based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued and accounts for equity instruments issued to other than employees based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments, whichever is more reliably measurable.

The Company accounts for stock based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation."  The provisions of FASB ASC 718 allow companies to either expense the estimated fair value of stock options or to continue to follow the intrinsic value method set forth in APB Opinion 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25) but disclose the pro forma effects on net income (loss) had the fair value of the options been expensed.  The Company has elected to continue to apply APB 25 in accounting for its stock option incentive plans.

New Accounting Pronouncements - During 2010 and 2009, various new Accounting Standard Updates (ASUs) were issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB).  Management has determined based on their review that the following ASUs issued during 2010 and 2009 may be applicable to the Company.  As new ASUs are released, Management will assess if they are applicable and if they are applicable, their affect will be included in the notes to the financial statements.

In December 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-17, “Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities”, which changes the consolidation guidance applicable to a variable interest entity (VIE”).  It also amends the guidance governing the determination of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, and is, therefore, required to consolidate an entity, by requiring a qualitative analysis rather than a quantitative analysis.  The qualitative analysis will include, among other things, consideration of who has the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and who has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.  This standard also requires continuous reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE.  Previously, the guidance required reconsideration of whether an enterprise was the primary beneficiary of a VIE only when specific events had occurred. ASU 2009-17 was effective for all interim and annual reporting periods that begin after November 15, 2009.  Management has determined that the adoption of this ASU will not have any impact on the financial statements and notes thereto.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”, which provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” that clarifies existing disclosures and requires new disclosures, specifically regarding the separate disclosure of transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2, as well as, the requirement of a reconciliation for Level 3 fair value measurements purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis.  The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the rollforward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements.  Those disclosures are effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years.  Management has determined that the adoption of this ASU will not have an impact on the Company’s notes to the financial statements.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010- 20, “Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses”, which provides amendments to Topic 310 “Receivables” that requires an entity to provide disclosures that facilitate financial statement users’ evaluation of the credit risk inherent in the entity’s portfolio of financing receivables, how that risk is analyzed and assessed in arriving at the allowance for credit losses, and the changes and reasons for those changes in the allowance for credit losses.  An entity should provide disclosures on a disaggregated basis.  The amendments in this update define two levels of disaggregation – portfolio segment and class of financing receivable.  A portfolio segment is defined as the level at which an entity develops and documents a systematic method for determining its allowance for credit losses.  Classes of financing receivables generally are a disaggregation of a portfolio segment.  The amendments in the Update provide additional implementation guidance to determine the appropriate level of disaggregation of information.  Existing disclosures are amended to require an entity to provide additional disclosures about its financing receivables on a disaggregated basis, specifically, a rollforward schedule of the allowance for credit losses from the beginning of the reporting period to the end of the reporting period and additional disclosures regarding the credit quality of financing receivables.  For nonpublic entities, the disclosures are effective for annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2011.  The Company currently does not have any financing receivables as defined in ASU 2010-20.  Consequently, this ASU is not applicable to the Company.  The Company will continue to monitor its receivables and if any of its receivables are deemed financing receivables, Management will assess the impact of the ASU on the Company’s financial statements and notes thereto.

In July 2005, the Company was approved for a low interest promissory note from the U.S. Business Administration in the amount of $280,100.  The Company qualified for the loan due to the significant loss of inventory, raw materials, and equipment when its leased warehouse, in which it maintained these items, was flooded by the remnants of Hurricane Ivan in September 2004.  The note bears interest at an annual rate of 2.9%.  Monthly installment payments, including principal and interest, will be $1,186 beginning five months from the date of the promissory note.  The note will be payable over 30 years.  Certain guarantees of collateral were made by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and shareholder, Joseph Riccelli to service the note.  The Company is to use the loan proceeds to repair or replace the following: approximately $6,200 for machinery and equipment; approximately $80,100 for furniture and fixtures; approximately $148,700 for inventory; and approximately $45,100 for working capital.  The Company has received the full amount of this loan at October 31, 2005.

The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, which requires use of the liability method.  FASB ASC 740 provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes, referred to as temporary differences.

INNOVATIVE DESIGNS, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
Deferred tax assets and liabilities at the end of each period are determined using the currently enacted tax rates applied to taxable income in the periods in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be settled or realized.

The provision for income taxes differs from the amount computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to income before provision for income taxes. The sources and tax effects of the differences are as follows:

   
2010
   
2009
 
             
Income tax provision at the federal statutory rate
    34 %     34 %
Effect of operating losses
    34 %     34 %
                 
      -       -  

The Company's deferred tax asset is as follows:

   
2010
   
2009
 
             
Deferred tax assets
  $ 28     $ 2,479  
Less: valuation allowance
    28       (2,479 )
                 
Net deferred taxes
  $ -     $ -  

The Company has a net operating loss of approximately $2,919,626 and $2,968,205 at October 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, which can be carried forward through October 31, 2029.  The principal difference between the net operating loss for book purposes and income tax purposes results from common shares issued for services aggregating of $222,000 and $216,350 at October 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

FASB Interpretation 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006.  This interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes.  The interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributable for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  The Company does not believe this will have an impact on the financial statements.
