Years
Ended October 31, 2022 and 2021
Inventory -
Inventory consists primarily of finished goods. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value and is valued based
on first-in-first-out. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable
costs of completion, disposal, and transportation.
During
the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010, the Company discontinued its hunting and swimming lines of apparel. A reserve balance of approximately
$75,468 was recorded as of October 31, 2022 and 2021. The reserve is evaluated on a quarterly basis and adjusted accordingly.
Deposits
on Inventory - The Company only has one manufacturer that produces the apparel on behalf of the Company, located in Indonesia.
The Company will send deposits to the manufacturer for future production of the apparel based on approved purchase orders between the
Company and the manufacturer. Once finished purchase orders are received by the Company, the deposits associated with those purchase
orders are transferred into inventory. The Company has deposits of $80,000 and $0 on inventory as of October 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Property
and Equipment - Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to income as
incurred. Additions, improvements and major replacements are capitalized. The cost and accumulated depreciation related to assets sold
or retired are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is credited or charged to income.
For
financial reporting purposes, depreciation is primarily provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of depreciable
assets, which range from 5 to 7 years.
Deposits
on Equipment - On July 12, 2015, the Company reached an agreement with Ketut Jaya to purchase the 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 to the 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 of October 31, 2018, the Company has made payments of $500,000 in accordance with the agreement and made a $100,000 pre-payment as
the machine is not yet producing INSULTEX. During 2019, the Company determined the shipping costs of $17,000 were impaired and these
costs were written down.
During
2022, the company has made a separate deposit on a different piece of equipment of $7,370.
Total
deposits on Equipment as of October 31, 2022 and 2021 were $607,370 and $600,000.
Impairment
of Long-lived Assets - Management of the Company considers the valuation and depreciation of property and equipment. Management
considers both the current and future levels of undiscounted cash flow generated by the Company and the continuing value of property
and equipment to determine when and if an impairment has occurred. Any write-downs due to impairment are charged to operations at the
time the impairment is identified. No such write-downs due to impairment have been recorded in 2022 and 2021.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Years
Ended October 31, 2022 and 2021
Income
Taxes - The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting
Standards Codification (“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.
In
addition, ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions and requires that a company recognize in its financial statements
the impact of a tax position, only if it is more likely than not of being sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of
the position. The Company recognized no material adjustments to the liability for unrecognized income tax benefits.
The
Company’s policy regarding the classification of interest and penalties recognized in accordance with ASC 740 is to classify them
as income tax expense in its financial statements, if applicable.
The
Company is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.
Concentration
of Credit Risk - The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with a financial institution which management believes
to be of high credit quality. Their accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000 in coverage.
The balances in these accounts may, at times, exceed the federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on the
deposits and management believes the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk related to these accounts. The Company had
uninsured cash balances as of October 31, 2022 and 2021.
Shipping
and Handling - Shipping costs associated with acquiring inventories are charged to cost of goods sold when incurred. The Company
pays shipping and handling costs on behalf of customers for purchased merchandise. These costs are billed back to the customer through
the billing invoice and are included in revenue at the time the merchandise is shipped. The shipping and handling costs associated with
customer orders was $24,791 and $7,723 for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Net
Income Per Common Share - The Company calculates net income per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260 “Earnings per
Share”. Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
for the period. In 2021, the Company issued a convertible debt instrument and has calculated diluted earnings per share.
Stock-Based
Compensation - The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718 “Compensation - Stock
Compensation”. In accordance with the provisions of ASC 718, share-based payment transactions with employees are measured based
on the fair value of the nonequity instruments issued on the grant date or on the fair value of the liabilities incurred. Share-based
payments to nonemployees are measured and recognized using the fair-value method, based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued
or the fair value of goods or services received, whichever is more reliably measured.

Recent
Accounting Standards Update – Recently, various new ASUs were issued by the FASB. Management has determined, based on
their review, the following ASUs issued recently that will be applicable to the Company. Management will continue to monitor the issuance
of updates throughout the year to determine if the update will have an impact on the Company’s financial statements and should
it have an impact, the update will be disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
In
February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases”, which added a requirement than an entity, when acting as a lessee,
should recognize in the balance sheet a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying
asset for the lease term. For public business entities, ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 including
interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Management has adopted the guidance.
These 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 net losses of $225,489 and $322,732 and a negative cash
flow from operations of $99,685 and $46,576 for the years ended October 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. In addition, the Company has
an accumulated deficit of $10,335,579. 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 financial statements. Managements plans include continued sales, sales of
Company stock, and borrowings from private parties. These 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.
| 3. | RIGHT
OF USE ASSETS AND LEASE LIABILITIES |
During the quarter ended April 30, 2019, the Company implemented Accounting Standards Update 2016-02, leases. Under the new guidance,
a lessee must record a liability for lease payments (referred to as the lease liability) and an asset for the right to use the leased
asset during the lease term (referred to as the right of use asset) for all leases, regardless of whether they are designated as finance
or operating leases. This election requires the lessee to recognize lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The right
of use assets and corresponding right of use liabilities have been recorded using the present value of the leases.

LICENSING AND MANUFACTURING AGREEMENT |
On

and market products related to or utilizing INSULTEX™, Korean Patent Number, (0426429) or any INSULTEX Technology. At the behest
of the Board of Directors, the INSULTEX trademark was chosen as the mark to identify the product utilized by Innovative since its inception
and was originally registered by Joseph Riccelli on February 17, 2005. The new trademark, intended to avoid confusion arising from the
use of the old Eliotex trademark in association with a new, subsequent, different and separately-patented product, was assigned by Mr.
Riccelli to the Company on April 25, 2006, with that assignment to become effective upon final approval of the Statement of Use by the
United States Patent and Trademark Office. The License was awarded by the Korean inventor, an individual who is part of the Ketut Group,
and the manufacturer of INSULTEX™. The Company received an exclusive forty (40) year worldwide license, except for Korea and Japan,
with an initial term of ten (10) years and an option to renew the License for up to three (3) successive ten (10) year terms. The first
ten-year option was exercised. Additionally, the Company was granted the exclusive rights to any current or future inventions, improvements,
discoveries, patent applications and letters of patent which the Ketut Group controls or may control related to INSULTEX™. Furthermore,
the Company has the right to grant sub-licenses to other manufacturers for the use of INSULTEX™ or any INSULTEX Technology.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Years
Ended October 31, 2022 and 2021
In
prior years, the Company incurred net operating losses and, accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded. In addition,
no benefit for income taxes has been recorded due to the uncertainty of the realization of any tax assets. For the 2021 tax year, fiscal
year end October 31, 2022, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $7,630,000 for tax purposes. The carryforwards
are available to offset taxable income of future periods and begin to expire after the Company’s 2037 tax year, fiscal year end
October 31, 2038. Effective for tax years ending in 2019 or later, net operating losses cannot be carried back but can be carried forward
to future tax years indefinitely. Realization of the deferred tax benefit related to the carryforward is dependent upon the Company generating
sufficient taxable income in the future, against which the loss can be offset, which is not guaranteed.
Deferred
income taxes reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes, as well as tax benefits of net operating loss carryforwards. The significant components
of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the following:

financial reporting purposes, the Company has incurred losses in previous years. Based on the available objective evidence, including
the Company’s previous losses, management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be fully
realizable. Accordingly, the Company provided for a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets as of October 31, 2022
and 2021, respectively.
