Background
Innovative Designs, Inc. (hereafter referred to as the "Company", "we" or "our")
produces and sells a house wrap product using Insultex a material with thermal
resistance and buoyancy properties. We also offer a cold weather product line
called "Artic Armor" which also uses Insultex. We no longer produce any Artic
Armor products. We are only selling form our existing inventory. We obtain
Insultex through a license agreement with the owner and manufacturer of the
material. In December 2015 , we took delivery of equipment capable of producing
our own Insultex. At such time as we have sufficient funding, we intend put the
equipment into production and use the Insultex from this equipment in the
production of our House Wrap product and for the sale of Insultex to others.

Results of Operations
Revenues for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2022, were $ 258,734 compared to
revenues of $225,601 for the comparable period ending October 31, 2021 . House
Wrap product revenue totaled $ 193,302 for the period compared to $169,375 for
fiscal year ended October 31, 2022 . Nearly all of the remaining revenues were
derived from our Arctic Armor and related product lines which totaled $65,432
for the period compared to revenues of $56,226 for the fiscal year ended October
31, 2021 . Revenues are net of returns and discounts. We continue to work on
rebuilding our House Wrap product line brand after doing no advertising during
the time of the FTC litigation, November 2016 to July 2021 , and the effect of
the litigation on our House Wrap products acceptance, and the use of Insultex in
other applications in the marketplace.
Selling, general and administrative expense increased from $411,716 in fiscal
year 2021, to $666,239 in the fiscal year ending October 31, 2022 . This increase
reflects, in part, $53,000 more for advertising and marketing, a payroll
increase of $75,000 , a reinstatement fee of $14,000 for listing on the OTCQB and
stock base compensation to our directors of $71,000 and $75,000 in stock based
compensation to a marketing consultant. Profession fees decreased during the
period by $17,000 as the FTC litigation wound down.
Our cost of sales increased from
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the fiscal year endedOctober 31, 2022 , we funded our operations from revenues, a legal settlement and the private sales of our common stock. During the period, we received$260,000 from a settlement with theFTC for legal fees incurred in connection with theFTC litigation. Subsequent to the period, we receive$110,000 from the sale of our Common Stock. We will continue to fund our operations from revenues, private borrowings and the sale of our common stock until we are able to produce sales sufficient to cover our cost structure or to secure commercial lending arrangements. OnJuly 12, 2015 , the Company reached an agreement withKetut Jaya to purchase machinery and equipment utilized to produce the INSULTEX material. The purchase price is$700,000 and to be made in four installments. The first installment of$300,000 is to be made at the execution of the agreement. The second installment of$200,000 is to be made when the machinery and equipment is ready to be shipped tothe United States . The third installment of$100,000 is to be made once the machinery and equipment is producing INSULTEX, and the fourth and final installment of$100,000 is to be made after the first commercial production run of INSULTEX is completed. As ofOctober 31, 2016 , the Company has made payments of$600,000 . In addition to the final payments, the Company will have to have the equipment and machines installed and ensure that the machine can be operated in compliance with environmental regulations. The Company has not made an estimate of the costs required for bringing the machine into compliance, but it is considered to be substantial. Given the expected time and cost of bringing the equipment into production mode and our current financial condition we are unable to estimate when we will be able to do so. We also must purchase new quality control testing equipment for our House Wrap product line which we estimate will cost approximately$100,000 . However, we have not as yet received a quote from the vendor. We have placed a$7,000 deposit with the vendor. Once the equipment is built it will have to go through a certification process.
During the period we paid
Short Term: We funded our operations with revenues from sales, private sales of
our common stock and from a legal settlement. We could not access commercial
lines of credit during our last fiscal year.

The Company intends to repay these debt obligations with funds it generates from revenues, from the possible sale of its securities either debt or equity, from advances from our stockholders or others. Because we cannot currently access commercial lending facilities, should we not be able to continue to obtain funding from these sources should our revenues decrease, our operations would be severely affected 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. 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 affected as we would not be able to fund our purchase orders to our suppliers for finished goods.
