| NOTE 4. | EARNINGS PER SHARE |
The Company calculates net income (loss) per share in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 260 “Earnings per Share”.

The shares issued were valued at $0.40 per share for a price of $20,000.

| NOTE 10. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS |
On November 4, 2016, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) filed a complaint against the Company in the U.S. District Court Western District of Pennsylvania, number 16-1669. In the complaint, the FTC alleges, that, among other matters, the Company does not have substantiation of claims made by the Company regarding the R value and energy efficiency of its INSULTEX House Wrap products. The complaint asks as redress of rescission of revenue the Company received from the sale of House Wrap and a permanent injunction. The parties are currently in the expert discovery phase.
The Company strongly denies the allegation and intends to vigorously defend itself. It is the Company’s belief that the complaint is based on improper testing of the INSULTEX products using the wrong type of testing equipment.

Revenues for the three month period ended January 31, 2018 were $116,203 compared to revenues of $169,210 for the three month period ended January 31, 2017. The decrease in revenue is attributable to the FTC matter with regard to our House Wrap products as we no longer advertise the insulating quality of these products. The decrease in revenue for our apparel products is attributable to the fact that we are devoting significant portion of our limited resources to the FTC matter. See Note 9 of the Notes to the Condensed Financial Statements appearing elsewhere in this Report for a description of our segment products sales. Our net loss for the three month period ended January 31, 2018 was ($146,249).
Our selling, general and administrative expenses were $190,811 for the three month period ended January 31, 2018 compared to $202,838 for the three month period ended January 31, 2017. Professional fees for the period ended January 31, 2018 were $95,206 compared to $58,211 for the three month period ended January 31, 2017. The majority of our professional fees relate to the legal fees incurred in connection to the FTC matter. We expect our professional fees to continue to be substantial during the course of this legal matter.

INNOVATIVE DESIGNS, INC.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the period ended January 31, 2018, we funded our operations from revenues from sales and sale of our common stock.
Short Term: We will continue to fund our operations from sales and the sale of our securities. We continue to pay our creditors when payments are due. We will require more funds to be able to order the material for our INSULTEX products and to purchase equipment needed for the manufacture of the INSULTEX product. The Company reached an agreement with the manufacturer of the INSULTEX material to purchase a machine capable of producing the INSULTEX material. Also included in the proposed agreement will be the propriety formula that creates INSULTEX. The Company took delivery of the equipment in December 2015. The Company will have to have the machine installed and ensure that it can be operated in compliance with all environmental rules and regulations. The Company has not made an estimate of the cost required for bringing the operation of the machine into compliance with the environmental regulations but it is considered to be a substantial amount. We are in the permitting stage relating to environmental issues necessary to begin the installation of the equipment. The Company has currently made deposits of $600,000 on the equipment. The Company has incurred $17,000 of additional expenses related to shipping. The Company will produce INSULTEX under its own brand name. See Note 8 of the Notes to the Condensed Financial Statements.
Long Term: The Company will continue to fund its operations from revenues, borrowings from private parties and the possible sale of our securities. Should we not be able to rely on the private sources for borrowing and /or increased sales, our operations would be severely affected as we would not be able to fund our purchase orders to our suppliers for finished goods and our efforts to produce our own INSULTEX would be delayed.

| ITEM 1. | LEGAL PROCEEDING |
The Company is engaged in a matter with the Federal Trade Commission. A Form 8-K filed November 4, 2016, describing this matter is incorporated herein by reference.
| ITEM 2. | UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS |
During the three-month period ended January 31, 2018, the Company sold 351,000 shares of common stock to three investors for total proceeds of $111,560. The stock was issued for prices from $0.30 - $0.32 per share. In addition, the Company issued 50,000 shares to one individual for services performed during the period. The shares issued were valued at $0.40 per share for a price of $20,000. We believe that Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, was available because these transactions did not involve a public offering and there was no general solicitation or general advertising involved in these transactions. We placed legends on the stock certificates stating that the securities were not registered under the Securities Act and set forth the restrictions on their transferability and sale.
| ITEM 3. | QUANTITATATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information otherwise required by this Item.
| ITEM 4T. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Management has developed and implemented a policy and procedures for reviewing, on a quarterly basis, our disclosure controls and procedures. During the period ended January 31, 2018, our principle executive/financial officer concluded that these controls and procedures were ineffective. At this time we do not have the financial resources to employ a financial staff with accounting and financial expertise. Once we have the necessary financial resources, we plan to hire and designate an individual responsible for identifying reportable developments and to implement procedures designed to remediate the material weakness by focusing additional attention and resources in our internal accounting functions. During the first quarter of 2018, the Company was not able to close the books and records in a timely fashion. Consequently, the Company was unable to file its Form 10-Q for the period ended January 31, 2018 within the timeline established by the SEC and was required to seek an extension for filing the form.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the most recent fiscal quarter, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13(a)-15 or 15d-15 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Until the Company has the financial resources to employ a financial staff with accounting and financial expertise, to be able to properly account for internal financial reporting, errors that may have a material effect on the financial statements have the potential to occur.
