The condensed financial statements included in the Form 10-Q (the “Form”) are presented in accordance with the requirements of the Form and do not include all of the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The results of operations for the three month periods ended January 31, 2024 and 2023 are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the full year.

These condensed financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company had a net loss of ($63,393) and a negative cash flow of ($102,860) for the three month period ended January 31, 2024. In addition, the Company has an accumulated deficit of ($10,700,350). Management’s plans include cash receipts through sales, sales of Company stock, and borrowings from private parties. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these condensed financial statements. These condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Accounts receivable are reported at their net realizable value. The Company evaluates its receivables on a quarterly basis to assess the validity of remaining receivables. Management has determined that there is significant doubt regarding the receivable balance over 90 days. There were no balances over 90 days as January 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023.

The opening balance of accounts receivable was $31,050. The ending balance of accounts receivable for the three month period ended January 31, 2024 was $10,397. There was not an allowance for doubtful accounts at the beginning or end of the period.

Inventory consists principally of purchased apparel inventory and house wrap which is manufactured by the Company. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company has decided to discontinue the manufacturing of its Artic Armor, hunting and swimming line of apparel. The Company has booked a reserve against apparel inventory as of January 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023 of $65,600. Management has determined that no allowance is currently necessary on the house wrap inventory. Management will continue to evaluate its obsolete inventory reserve throughout the year and make adjustments as needed.

The Company provides a ten-year limited warranty covering defects in workmanship. These warranties are included in the contract and do not provide customers with a service in addition to assurance of compliance with agreed-upon specifications. The Company does not consider these assurance-type warranties to be separate performance obligations.

During December 2023, the Company entered into a convertible promissory note in the amount of $50,000 due and payable in December 2024 at an annual interest rate of 6.0%. The note is secured by $100,000 of the Company’s inventory. Any principal and unpaid accrued interest outstanding as of the due date may be converted to common stock at a value of $0.20 per share.

Stockholder loans to the Company, including accrued interest totaled $47,244 and $147,450 as of January 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The loans bear interest between 10% and 12%.

Revenues are measured based on the amount of consideration specified in a contract with a customer. The Company recognizes revenue when and as performance obligations (i.e., obligations to transfer goods and/or services) are satisfied, which generally occurs with the transfer of control of the goods or services to the customer.

To determine proper revenue recognition, the Company evaluates whether two or more contracts should be combined and accounted for as a single contract and whether a combined or single contract should be accounted for as more than one performance obligation. This evaluation requires significant judgment, and the decision to combine contracts or separate a combined or single contract into multiple performance obligations could change the amount of revenue and profit recorded in a given period. Contracts are considered to contain a single performance obligation if the promise to transfer individual goods or services is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts.

For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation using the best estimate of the standalone selling price of each distinct good or service in the contract.

The Company calculates net loss per share in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 260, “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. During the periods presented, the Company only has common stock outstanding. In 2021, the Company issued a convertible debt instrument. In addition, the Company also has stock warrants of 954,000 and 994,000 as of January 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company has calculated diluted earnings per share utilizing the outstanding stock warrants and convertible debt.

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740 “Income Taxes”, which requires an asset and liability approach for financial reporting purposes.

Deferred income taxes are provided for differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and the financial reporting amounts at the end of the period, and for net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards available to offset future taxable income. Changes in enacted tax rates or laws result in adjustments to recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities in the periods in which the tax laws are enacted or tax rates are changed. The Company will continue to evaluate its income tax obligation throughout the year and will record a tax provision when it is necessary.

The Company pays shipping and handling costs on behalf of customers for purchased apparel merchandise. These costs are billed back to the customer through the billing invoice. The shipping and handling costs associated with merchandise ordered by the Company are included as part of inventory as these costs are allocated across the merchandise received. With house wrap orders, the customer pays the shipping cost. The shipping and handling costs associated with customer orders was approximately $10,899 and $15,125 for the three month periods ended January 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

FASB ASC Topic 842, “Leases”, establishes a right of use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the condensed balance sheets. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. ROU assets are reduced each period by an amount equal to the difference between the lease expense and the amount of interest expense on the lease liability, using the effective interest method. The Company used the average commercial real estate interest rate of 5.50% to calculate the present value of the lease. The Company recognizes lease expense on a straight-line basis over the leased term on the condensed statements of operations.

The Company entered into a lease for office space at the time the Company was formed through June 2022. Effective July 2022, the Company is leasing the office space on a month to month basis. As a result, the Company has elected to apply the short-term lease exemption to its lease of the facilities and therefore has not recorded a ROU asset and related lease liability.

The Company has organized operations into two segments based on an internal management reporting process that provides segment information for purposes of making financial decisions and allocating resources.

The following tables present the Company’s business segment information for the nine month period ended January 31, 2024 and 2023:

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, Case number 16-1669. In the complaint, the FTC alleges that, among other matters, the Company did 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 to redress a rescission of revenue the Company received from the sale of the house wrap and a permanent injunction. On September 24, 2020, a judgment was entered in favor of the Company as to all claims set forth in the FTC complaint. It was further ordered that as there were no remaining claims in the action the case shall be marked as closed.

On November 23, 2020, the Company was informed that the FTC had filed a notice of appeal in regard to the case. The appeal is from the District Court’s September 24, 2020, Order granting the Company’s Motion for Judgment on Partial Findings Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 52(c) and subsequent Judgment in favor of the Company and from the District Court’s February 14, 2020, striking Dr. David Yarbrough’s expert testimony made on behalf of the FTC. The FTC filed its appeal and on March 24, 2021, the Company filed its answer.

On July 22, 2021, the Registrant was informed that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third District affirmed the District Court’s ruling in favor of the Registrant. The ruling was in connection with the FTC complaint filed against the Registrant in November 2016, alleging, among other matters, that the Registrant did not have substantiation for claims made by the Registrant regarding the R-value and energy efficiency of its INSULTEX house wrap products.

In November 2021, in connection with the FTC litigation, the Company filed an application for attorney fees, expenses and cost in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, Case No.2:16-cv-01669-NBF. On June 29, 2022, a settlement order was signed by the Court. Pursuant to the Order, the FTC paid the Company $260,000 to resolve all such claims. The parties agreed to waive all rights to appeal or otherwise challenge or contest the validity of the Order.

The requirements of the following FASB statement were adopted for the Company’s condensed financial statements:

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 introduces a new impairment model, the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model. The model applies to most assets that are measured at amortized cost and requires those assets to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. In addition, credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities are to be recognized through an allowance account. ASU 2016-13 also expands existing disclosure requirements. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods therein, and requires retrospective application. The Company adopted the new standard effective November 1, 2023, and there were no material changes to the condensed balance sheets, condensed statements of operations, condensed statements of changes in stockholders’ equity, and condensed statements of cash flows as a result of the adoption.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events in accordance with ASC Topic 855, “Subsequent Events”, through April 26, 2024 which is the date financial statements were available to be issued. The Company identified no material subsequent events that require recognition or additional disclosure in these financial statements.
