RISK FACTORS
Please consider the following risk factors before deciding to invest in our common stock.
Risks associated with Design Source, Inc.:
1. Because our auditors have issued a going concern opinion, there is substantial doubt that we will be in business in one year and as a result you could lose your investment.
Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an ongoing business for the next twelve months. This condition raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our business plan is to develop a website to offer textiles to the commercial design market. Our future is dependent upon our successful development and implementation of our business plan resulting in the generation of revenues. As of the date of this prospectus we have not commenced operations. As a result of the foregoing issues, we may have to cease operations and you could lose your investment.
2. We lack an operating history and have losses which we expect to continue into the future. There is no assurance our future operations will result in profitable revenues. If we cannot generate sufficient revenues to operate profitably, we may suspend or cease operations.
We were incorporated in April 2003 and we have not started our proposed business operations or realized any revenues. We have no operating history upon which an evaluation of our future success or failure can be made. Our net loss since inception is $60,938 of which $46,189 is for professional fees; $11,250 is for the preparation of a business plan and initial development of our website; $2,699 for taxes, licenses, permits, general office costs and bank charges; and $800 is for interest expense. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon
|
|
* |
our ability to locate manufacturers who will sell to our customers |
|
* |
our ability to attract customers who will buy from our website |
|
|
* |
our ability to generate revenues through the development of a website that will offer commercial upholstery, drapery, bedspread, panel, and wall covering fabrics to interior designers |
- 4 -
Based upon current plans, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods because we will be incurring expenses and not generating revenues. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in generating revenues in the future. Failure to generate revenues will cause us to go out of business.
3. We have no clients, customers or suppliers and we cannot guarantee we will ever have any. Even if we obtain clients, customers and suppliers, there is no assurance that we will make a profit.
We have no clients, customers or suppliers. We have not identified any clients, customers or suppliers and we cannot guarantee we ever will have any. Even if we obtain clients, customers and suppliers for our services, there is no guarantee that our suppliers will supply us, or that our customers will use our website to buy the commercial upholstery, drapery, bedspread, panel, and wall-covering fabrics we offer. If we are unable to attract enough suppliers to offer their commercial upholstery, drapery, bedspread, panel, and wall-covering fabrics for sale or enough customers to buy the from our website to operate profitably we will have to suspend or cease operations.
4. If we need additional funds and cannot raise the funds, we will have to temporarily cease operations or cease operations entirely.
If we need additional capital in the future and can't raise it we may have to temporarily cease operations until we raise the additional funds or cease operations entirely, in which case you will lose your investment.
5. Because we are small, we must limit marketing our services to potential customers and suppliers. As a result, we may not be able to attract enough customers to operate profitably. If we do not make a profit, we may have to suspend or cease operations.
Because we are small, we must limit marketing our website to potential customers and suppliers. The sale of commercial upholstery, drapery, bedspread, panel, and wall-covering fabrics via our website is how we will generate revenues. Because we will be limiting our marketing activities, we may not be able to attract enough customers to buy or suppliers to sell to operate profitably. If we cannot operate profitably, we may have to suspend or cease operations.
6. Because our officers and directors will only be devoting limited time to our operations, our operations may be sporadic which may result in periodic interruptions or suspensions of operations. This activity could prevent us from attracting suppliers and customers and result in a lack of revenues which may cause us to cease operations.
Our officers and directors will only be devoting limited time to our operations. Peter Reichard, our president, treasurer and a member of the board of directors, will be devoting approximately twenty hours a week to our operations. Peter Coker, our secretary and a member of the board of directors, will be devoting approximately twenty hours a week to our operations. Because our officers and directors will only be devoting limited time to our operations, our operations may be sporadic and occur at times which are convenient to our officers and directors. As a result, operations may be periodically interrupted or suspended which could result in a lack of revenues and a possible cessation of operations.
- 5 -
7. Because none of our officers and directors has prior experience in the commercial design business, we may have to hire individuals or suspend or cease operations.
Because none of our officers and directors has prior experience in the commercial design business, we may have to hire additional experienced personnel to assist us with our operations. If we need the additional experienced personnel and we do not hire them, we could fail in our plan of operations and have to suspend operations or cease operations entirely.
8. Concentrated control of our stock could adversely affect the market price of our stock and the ability of unaffiliated shareholders to control decisions.
Concentrated control of our common stock could adversely affect the market price of our stock and the ability of unaffiliated shareholders to control decisions to engage in transactions like mergers, acquisitions ane reorganizations, that may be a benefit to them.
Risks associated with this offering:
9. Because there is no public trading market for our common stock, you may not be able to resell your stock.
There is currently no public trading market for our common stock. Therefore there is no central place, such as stock exchange or electronic trading system, to resell your shares. If you do want to resell your shares, you will have to locate a buyer and negotiate your own sale.
10. Because the SEC imposes additional sales practice requirements on brokers who deal in our shares which are penny stocks, some brokers may be unwilling to trade them. This means that you may have difficulty reselling your shares and this may cause the price of the shares to decline.
Our shares would be classified as penny stocks and are covered by Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules promulgated thereunder which impose additional sales practice requirements on brokers/dealers who sell our securities in this offering or in the aftermarket. For sales of our securities, the broker/dealer must make a special suitability determination and receive from you a written agreement prior to making a sale for you. Because of the imposition of the foregoing additional sales practices, it is possible that brokers will not want to make a market in our shares. This could prevent you from reselling your shares and may cause the price of the shares to decline. See "Plan of Distribution; Terms of the Offering - Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act."
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of common stock in this offering. All proceeds from the sale of the shares of common stock will be received by the selling shareholders.
- 6 -
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
The price of the shares has been determined by our officers and directors. They selected the $0.05 price the sale of our shares of common stock. It was the price our shareholders paid for their shares. Currently there is no market for the shares and we wanted to give our shareholders the ability to sell their shares. If our shares are listed for trading on the Bulletin Board, the price of the shares will be established by the market.
DILUTION
Since all of the shares of common stock being registered are already issued and outstanding, no dilution will result from this offering.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
There are 38 selling shareholders. They may be deemed underwriters. They may sell some or all of their common stock in one or more transactions, including block transactions:
|
1. |
On such public markets or exchanges as the common stock may from time to time be trading; |
|
2. |
In privately negotiated transactions; |
|
3. |
Through the writing of options on the common stock; |
|
4. |
In short sales; or |
|
5. |
In any combination of these methods of distribution. |
The sales price to the public is fixed at $0.05 per share until such time as the shares of our common stock become traded on the Bulletin Board operated by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or another exchange. There is, however, no assurance of when, if ever, the shares will become traded on the Bulletin Board or any other exchange. If our common stock becomes quoted on the Bulletin Board or another exchange, then the sales price to the public will vary according to the selling decisions of each selling shareholder and the market for our stock at the time of resale. In these circumstances, the sales price to the public may be:
|
1. |
The market price of our common stock prevailing at the time of sale; |
|
2. |
A price related to such prevailing market price of our common stock; or |
|
3. |
Such other price as the selling shareholders determine from time to time. |
The shares may also be sold in compliance with the Securities and Exchange Commission's Rule 144. The selling shareholders may also sell their shares directly to market makers acting as principals or brokers or dealers, who may act as agent or acquire the common stock as a principal. Any broker or dealer participating in such transactions as agent may receive a commission from the selling shareholders, or, if they act as agent for the purchaser of such common stock, from such purchaser. The selling shareholders will likely pay the usual and customary brokerage fees for such services. Brokers or dealers may agree with the selling shareholders to sell a specified number of shares at a stipulated price per share and, to the extent such broker or dealer is unable to do so acting as agent for the selling
- 7 -
shareholders, to purchase, as principal, any unsold shares at the price required to fulfill the respective broker's or dealer's commitment to the selling shareholders. Brokers or dealers who acquire shares as principals may thereafter resell such shares from time to time in transactions in a market or on an exchange, in negotiated transactions or otherwise, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at negotiated prices, and in connection with such re-sales may pay or receive commissions to or from the purchasers of such shares. These transactions may involve cross and block transactions that may involve sales to and through other brokers or dealers.
We can provide no assurance that all or any of the common stock offered will be sold by the selling shareholders. We are bearing all costs relating to the registration of the common stock, estimated to be $10,000.00. The selling shareholders, however, will pay commissions or other fees payable to brokers or dealers in connection with any sale of the common stock. The selling shareholders must comply with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in the offer and sale of the common stock. In particular, during such times as the selling shareholders may be deemed to be engaged in a distribution of the common stock, and therefore be considered to be an underwriter, they must comply with applicable law and may, among other things:
1. Not engage in any stabilization activities in connection with our common stock;
2. Furnish each broker or dealer through which common stock may be offered, such copies of this prospectus, as amended from time to time, as may be required by such broker or dealer; and
3. Not bid for or purchase any of our securities or attempt to induce any person to purchase any of our securities other than as permitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
There is no assurance that any of the selling shareholders will sell any or all of the shares offered by them. Under the securities laws of certain states, the shares may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states the shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in that state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is met. There are no pre-existing contractual agreements for any person to purchase the shares.
Of the 4,178,457 shares of common stock outstanding as of April 13, 2006, 518,457 shares are owned by Peter L. Coker one of our officers and directors and may only be resold pursuant to this registration statement or in compliance with Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933.
We have not declared any cash dividends, nor do we intend to do so. We are not subject to any legal restrictions respecting the payment of dividends, except that they may not be paid to render us insolvent. Dividend policy will be based on our cash resources and needs and it is anticipated that all available cash will be needed for our operations in the foreseeable future.
- 8 -
Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act
Our shares are covered by section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rules 15g-1 through 15g-6 promulgated thereunder. They impose additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell our securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouses).
Rule 15g-1 exempts a number of specific transactions from the scope of the penny stock rules.
Rule 15g-2 declares unlawful broker/dealer transactions in penny stocks unless the broker/dealer has first provided to the customer a standardized disclosure document.
Rule 15g-3 provides that it is unlawful for a broker/dealer to engage in a penny stock transaction unless the broker/dealer first discloses and subsequently confirms to the customer current quotation prices or similar market information concerning the penny stock in question.
Rule 15g-4 prohibits broker/dealers from completing penny stock transactions for a customer unless the broker/dealer first discloses to the customer the amount of compensation or other remuneration received as a result of the penny stock transaction.
Rule 15g-5 requires that a broker/dealer executing a penny stock transaction, other than one exempt under Rule 15g-1, disclose to its customer, at the time of or prior to the transaction, information about the sales persons compensation.
Rule 15g-6 requires broker/dealers selling penny stocks to provide their customers with monthly account statements.
Rule 15g-9 requires broker/dealers to approved the transaction for the customer's account; obtain a written agreement from the customer setting forth the identity and quantity of the stock being purchased; obtain from the customer information regarding his investment experience; make a determination that the investment is suitable for the investor; deliver to the customer a written statement for the basis for the suitability determination; notify the customer of his rights and remedies in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions; and, the NASD's toll free telephone number and the central number of the North American Administrators Association, for information on the disciplinary history of broker/dealers and their associated persons.
The application of the penny stock rules may affect your ability to resell your shares.
Previous Public Offering
On June 4, 2004, our public offering of up 1,000,000 shares of common stock minimum, 4,000,000 shares of common stock, maximum was filed on Form SB-2 (Registration No. 333-116161) and declared effective by the SEC on January 3, 2006 at 1:30 p.m. EST. On January 11, 2006, we elected to terminate the offering and withdraw the registration statement pursuant to Reg. 477 of the Securities Act of 1933. No offers of securities were made and no securities were sold, leaving all of the
- 9 -
securities unsold. We believed that we could not comply with the laws of the State of North Carolina with respect to the offer or sale of the shares of common stock which were the subject matter of the foregoing Form SB-2 registration statement because North Carolina law prohibited sales to residents of states other than North Carolina where the sale originated from North Carolina, unless the securities were registered with the North Carolina Department of the Secretary of State, Division of Securities. While we determined that we could cause the sales to originate from Georgia or Nevada, we determined that such action was cost prohibitive. In the event we registered the shares with the Department of the Secretary of State, Division of Securities, we would be subject to its rules and registrations relating to the sale of securities by qualification under North Carolina law. The conditions of registration by qualification imposed a 20% maximum limitation on expenses of the offering. We determined that we exceeded that amount and accordingly our shares could not be qualified for sale under the laws of North Carolina. At that point we withdrew our registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 and filed a post-effective amendment with the SEC on January 11, 2006, deregistering the shares of common stock.
On February 22, 2006, more than thirty days after withdrawing our registration statement with the SEC, we filed a Form D with the Securities and Exchange Commission and with the State of North Carolina and sold our shares pursuant to Reg. D of the Securities Act of 1933. We also filed with the states of New Jersey and Washington. As a result of the adoption of the National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, under North Carolina law, we could offer our shares of common stock for sale in North Carolina provided we filed a copy of our Form D, a consent to service of process and a filing fee with Department of the Secretary of State, Division of Securities. We did so, thereby perfecting our exemption from registration in the State of North Carolina and were not subject to the North Carolina laws and regulations relating to the sale of securities by qualification.

BUSINESS
General
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 2, 2003. We are just starting operations. We are in the process of developing a website that will offer commercial upholstery, drapery, bedspread, panel, and wall covering fabrics to interior designers. We have not generated any revenues, engaged in any operations, entered into any agreements or developed a website. The only operations we have engaged in is the creation of the website and the development of a business plan. We maintain our statutory registered agent's office at 101 Convention Center Drive, Suite 700, Las Vegas, Nevada 89109 and our business office is 100 Europa Drive, Suite 455, Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27517. Our telephone number is (919) 933-2720. This is the office of our President, Peter Reichard, and the current business office of Tryon Capital Ventures, LLC. We pay Mr. Reichard rent of $400.00 per month.
We have no plans to change our business activities or to combine with another business, and we are not aware of any events or circumstances that might cause this plan to change.
We are just beginning operations. Currently we do not offer any of the services referred to in this prospectus and there is no guarantee that we will be able to carry out our business plan in a manner described. Our plan of operation is forward looking. We, however, will make every attempt and a good faith effort to implement our business plan. Our prospects for profitability are not favorable if you consider numerous Internet-based companies have failed to achieve profits with similar plans.
We have not conducted any market research into the likelihood of success of our operations or the acceptance of our operations by the public.
We will offer a comprehensive supply, market and distribute commercial upholstery, drapery, bedspread, panel, and wall covering fabrics to the interior designer industry and individual retail customers on our Internet website. These commercial upholstery, drapery, bedspread, panel, and wall-covering fabrics will be offered at price marked-up from 15 % to 30 % of our cost. Fabric manufacturers (mills and converters) produce two classifications of product, open line and restricted production fabrics. The construction and basic styling of the two classifications are the same. Open line product is designed by the mill to reflect the most current fashion trends and is available to all customers provided that a customer purchases a single piece increment of 55 yards of a specific fabric. Normally, only distributors can justify purchasing such large quantities. We are not a distributor. The distributor then cuts the large quantity to specifications supplied by its customer. The distributors we refer to herein generally sell open line products. Typically, open line represents 80% of the manufacturer' s production and is usually available for quick shipment and delivery. Restricted production fabrics are designed by the distributor so they can differentiate their product from other distributors. Typically, restricted production represents 20% of the manufacturer' s production, forces the manufacturer into short production runs, and costs more to produce. We will not sell restricted production fabrics. Distributors also require a minimum of three-year availability from the fabric manufacturer regardless of the volume generated on a specific pattern. For similar constructions, restricted production fabrics are priced 15% higher than open line fabrics. Manufacturers generally do not offer products directly to interior designers and individual users because of the cost involved to fulfill the orders and because it would undercut the established distributor networks. That is because
- 11 -
manufacturers sell fabrics in 55 yard one piece rolls and interior designers, rarely, if ever, require a 55 yard unit. In addition to offering a vast array of fabrics, we will pass on industry information to interior designers that we acquire from manufacturers of fabrics we will sell. We will pass this information on for the purpose of building and enhance our reputation in the industry. We will not seek out such information or pay for such information. We will not charge for the dissemination of such information. We will display the information on our website. The information will include design trends and uses for the products. We have not conducted any marketing studies to determine if there is a demand for such information. The information is part of our marketing program. A brief list of what we will offer in the five categories of interior textiles as follows:
|

Bedspreads |

Website
We have retained Essential Business Solutions, as our outside technology provider to design and develop our entire website. EBS will provide the following services for the website: disk space, bandwidth, 155 mbit backbone, pop mailboxes, e-mail forwarding, e-mailing aliasing, auto responder, front page support, unlimited FTP access, java chat, hotmetal/miva script, shopping cart, secure transactions signio support, cybercash support and macromedia flash. EBS will charge us on an hourly rate of $45.00 per hour for its services. The contract is effective. The website will allow us to offer upholstery, drapery, bedspread, panel, and wall-covering fabrics to interior designers, promote our products in an attractive fashion, and communicate with our customers on-line.
The website is intended to be a destination site for the interior design industry. We will promote suppliers and supplies relating to the decorating business so that interior designers and individual consumers will be able to buy all of their decorating supplies from our website. The site will offer a large array of products and by becoming a "one-stop shopping" destination will significantly enhance the efficiency of the purchasing process simultaneously reducing the time and cost of finding reasonably priced decorating products or fabric supplies. We will continue to seek out and negotiate strategic relationships with individual suppliers and manufacturers to offer their products on our website. We will attempt to negotiate discounted pricing from the manufacturers in exchange for promoting their products to the extensive database of interior designers and individual consumers that we intend to develop and maintain through our extensive marketing program. We have not entered into direct discussions with manufacturers or suppliers. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain discounted prices. If and when we do receive discounted prices, we will mark-up the resale of the products to our customers. We may or may not include an adjustment in the sales price to our customer of the discounted price. The difference between the price we pay the supplier and the price we receive from our customer will be our profit. As of the date hereof we have not contacted any suppliers regarding a discount and will not do so until this offering is completed and there is no assurance that we will ever be able to obtain discounted pricing from suppliers. We will not sell the names in our database to anyone.
- 12 -
We also believe that the lack of financial security on the Internet is hindering economic activity thereon. To ensure the security of transactions occurring over the Internet, federal regulations require that any computer software used within the U.S. contain a 128-bit encoding encryption, while any computer software exported to a foreign country contain a 40-bit encoding encryption. There is uncertainty as to whether the 128-bit encoding encryption required by the federal government is sufficient security for transactions occurring over the Internet. Accordingly, there is a danger that any financial (credit card) transaction via the Internet will not be a secure transaction. Accordingly, risks such as the loss of data or loss of service on the Internet from technical failure or criminal acts are now being considered in the system specifications and in the security precautions in the development of the website. There is no assurance that such security precautions will be successful.
Other than investigating potential technologies in support of our business purpose, we have had no material business operations since inception in April 2003. At present, we have yet to acquire or develop the necessary technology assets in support of our business purpose to become a Internet-based retailer focused on the designer industry.
The Internet is a world-wide medium of interconnected electronic and/or computer networks. Individuals and companies have recently recognized that the communication capabilities of the Internet provide a medium for not only the promotion and communication of ideas and concepts, but also for the presentation and sale of information, goods and services.
Convenient Shopping Experience
Our online store will provide customers with an easy-to-use website. The website will be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week and will be reached from the consumer's home or office. Our online store will enable us to deliver upholstery, drapery, bedspread, panel, and wall-covering fabrics.
We will inventory sample material for each fabric which we will cut and ship for overnight delivery.
We have developed the list of interior designer needs from our own analysis of the market channels, research on the Internet, and discussions with knowledgeable industry participants.
Currently we do not offer any of the services referred to in this prospectus and there is no guarantee that we will be able to carry out our business plan in a manner described.
Customer Service
We will attempt to provide a customer service department via email where consumers can resolve order and product questions. Furthermore, we will insure consumer satisfaction by offering a 30-day money back guarantee. We do not intend to create a reserve account for our guarantee and will pay any refunds from general revenues.
- 13 -
Online Retail Store
We will design our Internet store to be a place for interior designers and individual consumers to shop within the commercial upholstery, drapery, bedspread, panel, and wall-covering fabrics industry. We believe that an online store would provide benefits to interior designers and individual users with respect to time, cost savings and selection of fabrics.
Shopping at our Online Store
Our online store will be located at www.sourcedesigninc.com We believe that the sale of commercial upholstery, drapery, bedspread, panel, and wall-covering fabrics on the Internet can offer attractive benefits to consumers. These include enhanced selection, convenience, quality, ease-of-use, depth of content and information, and competitive pricing. Key features of our online store will include:
Browsing
Our online store will offer consumers several subject areas and special features arranged in a simple, easy-to-use format intended to enhance product selection. By clicking on a category names, the consumer will move directly to the home page of the desired category and can view promotions and features.

Consumers will be able to add and subtract from their shopping cart as they browse around our online store prior to making a final purchase decision, just as in a physical store. To execute orders, consumers click on the "checkout" button and, depending upon whether the consumer has previously shopped at our online store, are prompted to supply shipping details online. We will also offer consumers a variety of wrapping and shipping options during the checkout process. Prior to finalizing an order by clicking the "submit" button, consumers will be shown their total charges along with the various options chosen at which point consumers still have the ability to change their order or cancel it entirely.
Paying
To pay for orders, a consumer must use a credit card, which is authorized during the checkout process. Charges are assessed against the card when the order is placed. Our online store will use a security technology that works with the most common Internet browsers and makes it virtually impossible for unauthorized parties to read information sent by our consumers. As of the date of this prospectus, we have not obtained this technology and that while we will attempt to use that technology, there is no guarantee that we will be able to obtain such technology.
The estimated price of providing online check out service is 2%-5% of gross revenues. The cost of the online check out service is incorporated into the sales price of the product.

We will offer our customers a full refund for any reason if the customer returns the purchased item within thirty days from the date of sale in the same condition it was sold to the customer. After thirty days, we will not accept any product returns or refund any money to a customer.
Source of Products
We will attempt to purchase commercial upholstery, drapery, bedspread, panel, and wall-covering fabrics directly from the manufacturer/supplier based upon orders we have already received from interior designers and individual customers. We will purchase fabric from three sources: mills, textile converters, and re-upholstery jobbers, mark the prices up and charge our customer the marked up price. The product will be shipped directly from the mill to the customer, thereby eliminating the need for storage space or packaging facilities. Textile converters and re-upholstery jobbers buy from mills and smaller quantities can be purchased from these groups. We intend to approach several mills and propose the purchase of smaller quantities that coincide with the productions runs at the mills. We will consider purchasing a minimum quantity order directly from the mill if the minimum order quantity at the mill is greater than our customer's order.
We will attempt to seek out and negotiate with large industry leaders to offer their products for sale on our website either directly or via a direct link to their websites. In addition, we will attempt to locate and negotiate relationships with smaller, new manufacturers to offer their products on a more exclusive basis.
We are not involved in negotiations with any manufacturers and will not do so until after the registration is complete.
It is common knowledge in the fabric industry that fabric manufacturers (mills and converters) produce two classifications of product, open line and restricted production fabrics. The construction and basic styling of the two classifications are the same. Open line product is designed by the mill to reflect the most current fashion trends and is available to all customers. Typically, open line represents 80% of the manufacturer's production and is usually available for quick shipment and delivery. Restricted production fabrics are designed by the distributor so they can differentiate their product from other distributors. Typically, restricted production represents 20% of the manufacturer's production, forces the manufacturer into short production runs, and costs more to produce. Distributors also require a minimum of three-year availability from the fabric manufacturer regardless of the volume generated on a specific pattern. For similar constructions, restricted production fabrics are priced 15% higher than open line fabrics.
Currently we do not offer any of the services referred to in this prospectus and there is no guarantee that we will be able to carry out our business plan in a manner described.
Revenue
We will attempt to generate revenue from three sources on the website:
- 15 -
|
1. |
Revenues will be generated from the direct sale of products to customers. We would order on behalf of our customers directly from our suppliers at the time of the order being received from a customer and the product would be shipped directly to the customer. That way we avoid having to carry any inventory that can be costly and become obsolete. We would earn revenue based on the difference between our negotiated price for the product with our suppliers and the price that the customer pays. |
|
2. |
We will attempt to generated by fees received for sales that originate from our website and are linked to those manufacturers. There is no assurance that this will occur and we have not entered into any negotiations or discussions with manufactures for sales that originate from our website. |
|
3. |
We will attempt to persuade manufactures to advertise on our website. There is no assurance that this will occur and we have not entered into any negotiations or discussions with manufactures for advertising on our website. |
We will develop and maintain a database of all interior designers, apprentices and individual customers who order commercial upholstery, drapery, bedspread, panel, and wall-covering fabrics listing their specific wants and needs.
We will develop and launch an advertising campaign to introduce our website to potential customers. Databases for interior design schools, interior design associations and trade magazines are publically available through internet research, telephone directories and periodical research.
Delivery
We will offer three delivery options:
|
1. |
Federal Express or UPS overnight. |
|
|
2. |
Federal Express or UPS second day air. |
|
|
3. |
Federal Express or UPS ground. |
We will be liable to our customer for loss or damage for the shipment. We will, however, recover from our shipper for any loss or damage for the shipment.
Our officers and directors do not have any experience in the commercial design business.
Competition
The electronic commerce market is intensely competitive. The market for information resources is more mature but also intensely competitive. We expect competition to continue to intensify in the future. Competitors include companies with substantial customer bases in the computer and other technical fields. There can be no assurance that we can maintain a competitive position against current or future competitors, particularly those with greater financial, marketing, service, support, technical and other resources. Our failure to maintain a competitive position within the market could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors, and competitive pressures faced by us may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
- 16 -
www.textileweb.com, www.fabric.com, www.internetdesigncenter.com, and www.blueboltnetworks.com offer the same services that we do. Upon initiating our website operations, we will be competing with the foregoing, in addition to non-Internet commercial upholstery, drapery, bedspread, panel, and wall-covering fabrics companies.
We will build a website that is easy to use and that offers a wide product selection at competitive prices. We believe potential customers would be drawn to our website instead of to other companies they are familiar with because they would able to choose from an array of products, quickly and easily, allowing them the freedom to carry on with their own business.
Our competitive position within the industry is negligible in light of the fact that we have not started our operations. Older, well established commercial upholstery, drapery, bedspread, panel, and wall-covering fabrics companies with records of success will attract qualified clients away from us. Since we have not started operations, we cannot compete with them on the basis of reputation. We do expect to compete with them on the basis of price and services. We will price our products competitively and diligently service our clients needs whatever those might be.
Peter Reichard, our president, treasurer and a member of the board of directors, will be devoting approximately twenty hours a week to our operations. Peter Coker, our secretary and a member of the board of directors, will be devoting approximately twenty hours a week to our operations. Because our officers and directors will only be devoting limited time to our operations, our operations may be sporadic and occur at times which are convenient to our officers and directors. As a result, operations may be periodically interrupted or suspended which could result in a reduction of revenues and a cessation of operations.
Marketing
We will attempt to market our website in the United States and in Canada through traditional sources such as trade magazines, conventions and conferences, newspaper advertising, billboards, telephone directories and flyers/mailers. We will target purchasers of commercial interior furnishings as interior designers and individual customers. We may utilize inbound links that connect directly to our website from other sites. Potential customers can simply click on these links to become connected to our website from search engines and community and affinity sites.
Patents, Trademarks or Licenses
We own no patents, trademarks or licenses.
Insurance
We do not maintain any insurance and do not intend to maintain insurance in the future. Because we do not have any insurance, if we are made a party of a liability action, we may not have sufficient funds to defend the litigation. If that occurs a judgment could be rendered against us which could cause us to cease operations.

Employees; Identification of Certain Significant Employees.
We are a development stage company and currently have no employees, other than our officers and directors. We will hire additional employees on an as needed basis.
Offices
Our offices are 100 Europa Drive, Suite 455, Chapel Hill, North Carlina 27517. Our telephone number is (919) 933-2720. This is an office leased to our president, Peter Reichard. Mr. Reichard allows us to use approximately 200 square feet of the office for our operations. Pursuant to an oral agreement with Mr. Reichard, we pay $400 per month in rent.
Government Regulation
We are not currently subject to direct federal, state or local regulation other than regulations applicable to businesses generally or directly applicable to electronic commerce. However, the Internet is increasingly popular. As a result, it is possible that a number of laws and regulations may be adopted with respect to the Internet. These laws may cover issues such as user privacy, freedom of expression, pricing, content and quality of products and services, taxation, advertising, intellectual property rights and information security. Furthermore, the growth of electronic commerce may prompt calls for more stringent consumer protection laws. Several states have proposed legislation to limit the uses of personal user information gathered online or require online services to establish privacy policies. The Federal Trade Commission has also initiated action against at least one online service regarding the manner in which personal information is collected from users and provided to third parties. We will not provide personal information regarding our users to third parties. However, the adoption of such consumer protection laws could create uncertainty in Web usage and reduce the demand for our web based products.
We are not certain how business may be affected by the application of existing laws governing issues such as property ownership, copyrights, encryption and other intellectual property issues, taxation, libel, obscenity and export or import matters. The vast majority of such laws were adopted prior to the advent of the Internet. As a result, they do not contemplate or address the unique issues of the Internet and related technologies. Changes in laws intended to address such issues could create uncertainty in the Internet market place. Such uncertainty could reduce demand for services or increase the cost of doing business as a result of litigation costs or increased service delivery costs.
In addition, because our products are available over the Internet in multiple states and foreign countries, other jurisdictions may claim that we are required to qualify to do business in each such state or foreign country. We are qualified to do business only in Nevada. Our failure to qualify in a jurisdiction where it is required to do so could subject it to taxes and penalties. It could also hamper our ability to enforce contracts in such jurisdictions. The application of laws or regulations from jurisdictions whose laws currently apply to our business could have a material adverse affect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Other than the foregoing, no governmental approval is needed for the sale of our products.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
This section of the prospectus includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like: believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this prospectus. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or our predictions.
We are a start-up stage corporation and have just initiated operations, but have not generated or realized any revenues from our business operations.
Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that our auditors believe there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months. We completed a private placement of our common stock. We raised $173,000 by selling 3,460,000 restricted shares of our common stock to 38 persons. We have not generated any revenues. The only operations we have engaged in is the creation of the website and the development of a business plan. We believe the technical aspects of our website will be sufficiently developed in the next 60 days. We believe that the funds we received from our private placement will last twelve months. We believe this as a result of analyzing the cost of doing business, however, our officers and directors do not have any experience in the commercial design business.
To meet our need for cash we completed a private placement of our common stock and raised $173,000. We believe that the $173,000 we raised will allow us to remain in business for one year. If we are unable to secure enough suppliers to provide us with products at suitably low pricing or enough customers willing to buy the product at higher than the price we have negotiated with our suppliers, we may quickly use up the proceeds and will need to find alternative sources, like a second private placement of securities or loans from our officers or others in order for us to maintain our operations. At the present time, we have not made any arrangements to raise additional cash.
If we need additional cash and cannot raise it we will either have to suspend operations until we do raise the cash, or cease operations entirely. We believe this as a result of analyzing the cost of doing business, however, our officers and directors do not have any experience in the commercial design business. Other than as described in this section, we have no other financing plans.
Plan of Operation
We will not be conducting any product research or development other than the development a database of potential customers and our belief of their wants and needs. We have examined websites selling different home furnishings We do not expect to purchase or sell plant or significant equipment other than we will establish an office which will include computer equipment, office equipment and supplies, telephones and other assets needed for operation of our business. We plan to hire one additional employee. Other than the foregoing, we do not expect significant changes in the number of our employees.
- 19 -
Our specific goal is to profitably sell a comprehensive supply of products on our Internet website to the interior design industry and individual retail customers. We concluded this from our own analysis of the market channels, researched the industry on the Internet, and held discussions with knowledgeable industry participants. We have not conducted any research regarding our plan to develop a website and offering textiles to the commercial design market.
We will attempt accomplish the foregoing through the following milestones:
1. We are establishing our office and acquiring the equipment we need to begin operations. We believe that it will cost $5,150 to establish our office. A breakdown of the cost is as follows: $400 for rent. Computer equipment which will cost $2,500; office furniture that will cost approximately $2,000; telephones which will cost $250; stationary; and other assets as required to maintain the operations. We intend to hire up to one employee. We expect the cost of the employee will be $27,500. We believe our office will be operational in the next 60 days. Our officers and directors will handle our administrative duties.
2. As soon as our office is completely established, we will attempt to contact and negotiate with large industry leaders to offer their product on our website. We also will attempt to locate smaller, new manufacturers to offer their product on a more exclusive basis. We believe we should have one contract signed within 90 days of setting up our office. The foregoing is based upon our officers cumulative business experience in other fields, however, our officers and directors do not have any experience in the commercial design business. We will however contact small and large companies to offer their products on our website and we will carry out our marketing plan. The execution of additional contracts with suppliers and the development of the website will be ongoing during the life of our operations. As more products are added and as our customer data base expands, we will have to be continually upgrading the website. We believe that it will cost up to $10,000 in order to have our website initially operational and $5,000 to have our data base initially ready to receive information. Both the initial operation of the website and the data base will be ready 60 days from the completion of our public offering. The creation and operation of the website and the data base is not dependent upon signing any contracts with a manufacturer. At point we will have industry information available on our website and be able to accept orders for the products we will sell. As additional contracts are signed with suppliers, we will up-grade the website. As our customer base increases we will up-grade the data base. Both upgrades will be ongoing during the life of our operations. In addition to offering commercial upholstery, drapery, bedspread, panel, and wall-covering fabrics, we will pass on industry information to interior designers that we acquire from other interior designers and manufacturers of commercial upholstery, drapery, bedspread, panel, and wall-covering fabrics we will sell.
3. As soon as our website is operational, which will be approximately 90 days from setting up our office, we will begin to market our website in the United States and in Canada through traditional sources such as trade magazines, conventions and conferences, newspaper advertising, billboards, telephone directories and flyers / mailers. We will attempt to target purchasers of commercial upholstery, drapery, bedspread, panel, and wall-covering fabrics such as interior designers and individual consumers. We may utilize inbound links that connect directly to our website from other sites. Potential customers can simply click on these links to become connected to our website from search engines and community and affinity sites. We believe that it will cost $40,000 for our marketing campaign. Marketing and advertising will be focused on promoting our website to
- 20 -
prospective customers though direct sales and will be based on the list of prospects developed from our database. Direct sales to the interior designers and individual customer will be accomplished through email, telephone calls and mailings. Advertising will be considered and used to support the email, telephone calls and mailings in certain market segments. The advertising campaign will include the design and printing of various sales material. The cost of developing the campaign is estimated to cost $40,000. Marketing is an ongoing matter which will continue during the life of our operations. We also believe that we should begin to see results from our marketing campaign within 30 days from its initiation, or 120 days from setting up our office. The foregoing is based upon our officers cumulative business experience in other fields, however, our officers and directors do not have any experience in the commercial design business and there is in fact no assurance that the foregoing event will occur.
4. Part of our marketing program includes sourcing out and identifying interior designers and individual consumers who may become potential buyers of commercial upholstery, drapery, bedspread, panel, and wall-covering fabrics from our website. The process of sourcing out suppliers includes identifying manufacturers, large and small by research into existing databases via the internet and research in trade magazines and directories. This process will start as soon as our office is operational and will be ongoing during the life of our operations. Sourcing customers may consist of telephone surveys and may contain questions which would determine the marketing approach and acceptability of specific products. It will also involve research into existing databases available via the Internet to target and extract the applicable names and contacts to create our own customized database. The database will be comprised of two components: suppliers and customers. Supplier information is readily available from online fabric mill directories, and an example can be found at www.apparelsearch.com/fabric.htm. The principal source of customers will be interior designers. Mail lists are available from organizations such as the American Society of Interior Designers, which sells database information at a cost of $120 per thousand names, and World Wide Art Resources, which sells regional interior designer databases such as Florida Interior Designers Directory with up to 2,275 contacts at a cost of $68.25. We will attempt to prepare a database of up to 75 suppliers and up to 10,000 interior designers. The database preparation should take approximately four weeks to complete. We intend to look into the databases of design schools, interior design associates, trade magazines as well as telephone directories. Databases for design schools, interior design associates, and trade magazines are publically available through internet research, telephone directories, and periodical research. The cost to source and analyze all of the material to identify suitable candidates to develop and maintain the database is estimated to cost $15,000. We estimate the time to be approximately two weeks. Our current officers and directors will undertake to prepare the database.
5. Within 90 days from the initial launch of our website, we believe that we will begin receiving orders from purchasers. The foregoing is based upon our officers cumulative business experience in other fields, however, our officers and directors do not have any experience in the commercial design business. and there is in fact no assurance that the foregoing event will occur.
6. Once the website is fully operational; we have located and negotiated agreements with a suitable number of manufacturers to offer their commercial upholstery, drapery, bedspread, panel, and wall-covering fabrics for sale; and, we have begun to receive orders for commercial upholstery, drapery, bedspread, panel, and wall-covering fabrics, we will hire one or two part time salesperson(s) to call on interior design firms to introduce them to our website. The salesperson(s) will also call on various manufacturers to continue to source new products to offer for sale.
- 21 -
In summary, we should be in full operation and receiving orders within 120 days from the date of this prospectus. We estimate that we will generate revenue 120 to 180 days from the date of this prospectus. The foregoing is based upon our officers cumulative business experience in other fields, however, our officers and directors do not have any experience in the commercial design business and there is in fact no assurance that the foregoing event will occur.
Until our website is fully operational, we do not believe that large industry leaders will provide us with their best prices. We believe, however, that once our website is operational and we have developed a significant data base of customers, large industry leaders will provide us with their best prices. There is no guarantee that the large industry leaders will provide us with their best prices.
If the manufacturers do not provide their products to us on reasonable terms, we may have to suspend or cease operations.
We will not be conducting any research and we are not going to buy or sell any plant or significant equipment during the next twelve months, other than in conjunction with opening our office, acquiring office equipment and the development of our website and database.
If we cannot generate sufficient revenues to continue operations, we will suspend or cease operations. Since we will operate for at least one year, any decision to cease operations will occur thereafter. We have no plans at this time to raise additional capital if we start generating revenues or if revenues are insufficient to sustain operations. If we cease operations, we do not know what we will do and we do not have any plans to do anything. We have no plans to statutorily dissolve at this time under any circumstances nor do we have any plans to enter into any merger or acquisition.
Limited operating history; need for additional capital
There is no historical financial information about us upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. We are in a start-up stage operations and have not generated any revenues. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources and possible cost overruns due to price and cost increases in services.
To become profitable and competitive, we have to locate and negotiate agreements with manufacturers to offer their products for sale to us at pricing that will enable us to establish and sell the products to our clientele. We are seeking equity financing to provide for the capital required to implement our operations.
We have no assurance that future financing will be available to us on acceptable terms. If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue, develop or expand our operations. Equity financing could result in additional dilution to existing shareholders.

Long-Term Incentive Plan Awards
We do not have any long-term incentive plans that provide compensation intended to serve as incentive for performance.
Compensation of Directors
Our directors do not receive any compensation for serving as members of the board of directors.
Indemnification
Under our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the corporation, we may indemnify an officer or director who is made a party to any proceeding, including a law suit, because of his position, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in our best interest. We may advance expenses incurred in defending a proceeding. To the extent that the officer or director is successful on the merits in a proceeding as to which he is to be indemnified, we must indemnify him against all expenses incurred, including attorney's fees. With respect to a derivative action, indemnity may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defending the proceeding, and if the officer or director is judged liable, only by a court order. The indemnification is intended to be to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada.
Regarding indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, which may be permitted to directors or officers under Nevada law, we are informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, indemnification is against public policy, as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

We issued the foregoing 3,460,000 shares of common stock as restricted securities pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Regulation 506 of the Securities Act of 1933 in that a Form Ds was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission; an offering memorandum was delivered to all purchasers; all purchasers have a preexisting relationship with us. By preexisting
- 29 -
relationship we mean that our president, Peter Reichard, determined that each investor had such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that he, she or it was capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment and each had an established relationship with Mr. Reichard through previous business dealings or as a result of personal friendship. Further, each investor represented that he was an accredited investor. To our knowledge there are no connections, relationships or arrangements between them and any other entities other than as described herein.
None of the selling shareholders has, or has had within the past three years, any position, office, or other material relationship with us or any of our predecessors or affiliates.
None of the selling shareholders is a broker-dealer or an affiliate of a broker dealer.
Future sales by existing stockholders
A total of 518,457 shares of common stock were issued to an officer and director, all of which are restricted securities, as defined in Rule 144 of the Rules and Regulations of the SEC promulgated under the Securities Act. Under Rule 144, the shares can be publicly sold, subject to volume restrictions and restrictions on the manner of sale, commencing one year after their acquisition.
Shares purchased in this offering, which will be immediately resalable, and sales of all of our other shares after applicable restrictions expire, could have a depressive effect on the market price, if any, of our common stock and the shares we are offering.
There is no public trading market for our common stock. There are no outstanding options or warrants to purchase, or securities convertible into, our common stock. There are forthy holders of record for our common stock. The record holders are our officer and director and thirty-nine shareholders who collectively own 4,178,457 restricted shares of our common stock.
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

Our authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share. The holders of our common stock:
|
|
* |
have equal ratable rights to dividends from funds legally available if and when declared by our board of directors; |
|
* |

- 30 -
All shares of common stock now outstanding are fully paid for and non-assessable. We refer you to our Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws and the applicable statutes of the State of Nevada for a more complete description of the rights and liabilities of holders of our securities.
Non-cumulative voting
Holders of shares of our common stock do not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares, voting for the election of directors, can elect all of the directors to be elected, if they so choose, and, in that event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any of our directors. After this offering is completed, assuming the sale of all of the shares of common stock, present stockholders will own approximately 15.23% of our outstanding shares.
Cash dividends
As of the date of this prospectus, we have not paid any cash dividends to stockholders. The declaration of any future cash dividend will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon our earnings, if any, our capital requirements and financial position, our general economic conditions, and other pertinent conditions. It is our present intention not to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, but rather to reinvest earnings, if any, in our business operations.
Anti-takeover provisions
There are no Nevada anti-takeover provisions that may have the affect of delaying or preventing a change in control.
Reports
After we complete this offering, we will not be required to furnish you with an annual report. Further, we will not voluntarily send you an annual report. We will be required to file reports with the SEC under section 15(d) of the Securities Act. The reports will be filed electronically.

We currently use a portion of Peter Reichard's office space in consideration of $400.00 per month. The rent was established through negotiations.

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The foregoing unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Regulation S-B as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for complete financial statements. These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2005. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements furnished herein include all adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period presented. Operating results for the nine-month period ending December 31, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2006.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date the financial statements are published, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of the Company's financial statements; accordingly, it is possible that the actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions and could have a material effect on the reported amounts of the Company's financial position and results of operations.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.
At December 31, 2005, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $60,938. Since its inception, the Company has not generated any revenues and has minimal cash resources. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. For the twelve-month subsequent period, the Company anticipates that its minimum operating cash requirements to continue as a going concern will be approximately $50,000. Management's business plan is to develop a website to offer textiles to the commercial design market. Management also plans to raise capital through the sale of shares of common stock. The ability of the Company to continue in existence is dependent upon management's successful development and implementation of its business plan resulting in profitable operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS No. 154"), "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections," which replaces Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 20, "Accounting Changes," and SFAS No. 3, "Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements -- An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 28". SFAS No. 154 provides guidance on accounting for and reporting changes in accounting principle and error corrections. SFAS No. 154 requires that changes in accounting principle be applied retrospectively to prior period financial statements and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Management believes the adoption of SFAS No. 154 will have no material impact on the financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 153, "Exchange of Nonmonetary Assets an amendment of ARB Opinion No. 29." This statement addresses the measurement of exchanges of nonmonetary assets. The guidance in APB Opinion No. 29, "Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions," is based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. The guidance in that opinion, however, included certain exceptions to that principle. This statement amends Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. Management believes the adoption of this statement will have no impact on the financial statements of the Company.
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (R), "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation" (hereinafter "SFAS No. 123R"). This statement supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and its related implementation guidance. This statement establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity's equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. This statement focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. This statement does not change the accounting guidance for share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees provided in SFAS No. 123. This statement does not address the accounting for employee share ownership plans, which are subject to AICPA Statement of Position 93-6, "Employers' Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans." The Company has determined that there was no impact to its financial statements from the adoption of this statement.

December 31, 2005 |
In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 151, "Inventory CostsC an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4." This statement amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, "Inventory Pricing," to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). Paragraph 5 of ARB 43, Chapter 4, previously stated that ". . . under some circumstances, items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and rehandling costs may be so abnormal as to require treatment as current period charges. . . ." This statement requires that those items be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of "so abnormal." In addition, this statement requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. This statement is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. Management does not believe the adoption of this statement will have any immediate material impact on the Company as the Company maintains no inventory.
Reclassification
Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. This reclassification has resulted in no changes to the Company's accumulated deficit or net losses presented.
Revenue Recognition
The Company will recognize revenue from contracts (1) upon actual sale (disposition) of such contracts and (2) upon actual cash collections for ongoing contracts. With these two types of revenue sources, revenue will thereby be recorded when there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, services have been rendered, the contract price is determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured (or, in the case of ongoing contracts, actually collected).
Use of Estimates
The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the financial statements. Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may differ from estimated amounts.
NOTE 3 - COMMON STOCK
The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of $0.00001 par value common stock. All shares have equal voting rights, are non-assessable and have one vote per share. Voting rights are not cumulative and, therefore, the holders of more than 50% of the common stock could, if they choose to do so, elect all of the directors of the Company.

Board of Directors
Design Source, Inc.
Chapel Hill, NC
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Design Source, Inc. (a development stage company) as of March 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended and for the period from April 2, 2003 (inception) to March 31, 2005. 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 audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. 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 made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides 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 Design Source, Inc. as of March 31, 2005 and 2004 and the results of its operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and its cash flows for the years then ended, and for the period from April 2, 2003 (inception) to March 31, 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company's significant operating losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding the resolution of this issue are also discussed in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
|
March 31, 2005 |
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Design Source, Inc. (hereinafter "the Company") was incorporated on April 2, 2003 under the laws of the State of Nevada for the purpose of offering textiles to the commercial designer market utilizing the internet. The Company's headquarters is located in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The Company is a development stage enterprise.
The Company's year end is March 31.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding the accompanying financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company' s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
Accounting Method
The Company's financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, which provides for calculation of "basic" and "diluted" earnings per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity similar to fully diluted earnings per share. For the periods reported, diluted net income (loss) per share is the same as basic net income (loss) per share as there were no common stock equivalents outstanding.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all short-term debt with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Compensated Absences
Currently, the Company has no employees; therefore, no liability has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements. The Company'
s policy will be to recognize the costs of compensated absences when employees earn such benefits.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Concentration of Risk
The Company maintains its cash in primarily one business checking account, the funds of which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Derivative Instruments
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended by SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB No. 133", SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities", and SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", which is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2001. These statements establish accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. They require that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value.
If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge, the objective of which is to match the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging derivative with the recognition of (i) the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk or (ii) the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transaction. For a derivative not designated as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss is recognized in income in the period of change.
Historically, the Company has not entered into derivatives contracts to hedge existing risks or for speculative purposes.
At March 31, 2005, the Company has not engaged in any transactions that would be considered derivative instruments or hedging activities.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Going Concern (continued)
At March 31, 2005, the Company had an accumulated deficit during the development stage of $47,436. Since its inception, the Company has not generated any revenues and has minimal cash resources. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. For the twelve-month subsequent period, the Company anticipates that its minimum operating cash requirements to continue as a going concern will be approximately $50,000. Management's business plan is to develop a website to offer textiles to the commercial design market. Management also plans to raise capital through the sale of shares of common stock. The ability of the Company to continue in existence is dependent upon management's successful development and implementation of its business plan resulting in profitable operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," may include cash, receivables, advances, accounts payable and accrued expenses. All such instruments are accounted for on a historical cost basis, which, due to the short maturity of these financial instruments, approximates fair value at March 31, 2005.
Provision for Taxes
Income taxes are provided based upon the liability method of accounting pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (hereinafter "SFAS No. 109"). Under this approach, deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end. A valuation allowance is recorded against the deferred tax asset if management does not believe the Company has met the "
more likely than not" standard imposed by SFAS No. 109 to allow recognition of such an asset.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 153, "Exchange of Nonmonetary Assets an amendment of ARB Opinion No. 29." This statement addresses the measurement of exchanges of nonmonetary assets. The guidance in APB Opinion No. 29, "Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions," is based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. The guidance in that opinion, however, included certain exceptions to that principle. This statement amends Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)
A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. This statement is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. Earlier application is permitted for nonmonetary asset exchanges incurred during fiscal years beginning after the date of this statement is issued. Management believes the adoption of this statement will have no impact on the financial statements of the Company.
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 152, "Accounting for Real Estate Time-Shares Transactions," an amendment of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board No. 66, "Accounting for Sales of Real Estate," to reference the financial accounting and reporting guidance for real estate time- sharing transactions that is provided in AICPA Statement of Position (SOP) 04-2, "Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions." This statement also amends Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 67, "Accounting for Costs and Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Projects," to state that the guidance for (a) incidental operations and (b) costs incurred to sell real estate projects does not apply to real estate time-sharing transactions. The accounting for those operations and costs is subject to the guidance in SOP 04-2. This statement is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. Management believes the adoption of this statement will have no impact on the financial statements of the Company.
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a revision to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation" (hereinafter "SFAS No. 123R"). This statement supercedes APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and its related implementation guidance. This statement establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity's equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. This statement focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. This statement does not change the accounting guidance for share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees provided in SFAS No. 123. This statement does not address the accounting for employee share ownership plans, which are subject to AICPA Statement of Position 93-6, "Employers' Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans." The Company has determined that there was no impact to its financial statements from the adoption of this statement.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)
In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 151, "Inventory Costs C an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4." This statement amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, "Inventory Pricing," to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). Paragraph 5 of ARB 43, Chapter 4, previously stated that ". . . under some circumstances, items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and rehandling costs may be so abnormal as to require treatment as current period charges. . . ." This statement requires that those items be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of "so abnormal." In addition, this statement requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. This statement is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. Management does not believe the adoption of this statement will have any immediate material impact on the Company as the Company maintains no inventory.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from product sales when the products are shipped and title passes to customers. Outbound shipping charges are included in net sales with the corresponding cost included in cost of sales. Other service revenue is recognized when services are performed and billable.
Use of Estimates
The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the financial statements. Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may differ from estimated amounts.
Web Site Development
The Company must develop a web site to facilitate its business plan. Costs incurred in this project will be expensed as incurred in accordance with Statement of Position 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use" as amplified by Emerging Issues Task Force Abstract No. 00-2, "Accounting for Web Site Development Costs." During the year ended March 31, 2005, the Company had not incurred any web site development costs.

NOTE 3 - COMMON STOCK
The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of $0.00001 par value common stock. All shares have equal voting rights, are non-assessable and have one vote per share. Voting rights are not cumulative and, therefore, the holders of more than 50% of the common stock could, if they choose to do so, elect all of the directors of the Company.
Upon incorporation, the Company issued 435,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.05 per share as reimbursement of a cash advance in the amount of $1,000 and expenses paid personally by a director totaling $20,750.
During the period ending March 31, 2004, an additional 283,457 shares of common stock were issued at $0.05 per share for reimbursement of expenses paid personally by a director totaling $4,173 and for cash totaling $10,000.
NOTE 4 - INCOME TAXES
At March 31, 2005, the Company has calculated deferred tax assets of approximately $18,900 calculated at a combined federal and state expected rate of 40.5%. As management of the Company cannot determine that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefit of the net deferred tax asset, a valuation allowance equal to the net deferred tax asset has been recorded. There is also a temporary tax timing difference of approximately $800, which principally arises from the amortization of organizational costs for income tax purposes.
As management of the Company cannot determine that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefit of the net deferred tax asset, a valuation allowance equal to the net deferred tax asset has been recorded.
The significant components of the deferred tax assets at March 31, 2005 were as follows:
