DESIGN SOURCE, INC.
(A Development Stage Enterprise)
CONDENSED NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2007 


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.

The foregoing unaudited 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, theses 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, 2007. 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 six-month period ending September 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2008.

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.

Development Stage Activities
 
The Company has been in the development stage since its formation and has not realized any revenue from operations. It is primarily engaged in offering textiles to the commercial designer market utilizing the internet.

Going Concern
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.
 
F - 5


DESIGN SOURCE, INC.
(A Development Stage Enterprise)
CONDENSED NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2007 

 
At September 30, 2007, the Company had an accumulated deficit during the development stage of $535,534. 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 September 30, 2007 and March 31, 2007.

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.

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.

During the period ending March 31, 2006, an additional 3,320,000 shares of common stock were issued at $0.05 per share for cash totaling $160,000 and subscription receivable of $6,000.

CONDENSED NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2007 

 
During the year ended March 31, 2007, 130,000 shares of common stock were issued at $0.05 per share for cash totaling $6,500 to outside investors; 6,550,000 share of common stock were issued to its officers for compensation at $0.05 per share for $327,500 and $6,000 subscription receivable was received.

As of September 30, 2007, the Company had issued no additional shares of common stock.

NOTE 4 - INCOME TAXES

At September 30, 2007 and March 31, 2007, the Company had calculated deferred tax assets of approximately $216,891 and $215,829 respectively 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.

The significant components of the deferred tax assets at September 30, 2007 and March 31, 2007 were as follows:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
 
This section of the report 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 report. 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 development 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 in 2006. We raised $172,500 by selling 3,450,000 restricted shares of our common stock to 38 persons. We have not generated any revenues. The only operations we have engaged in are the creation of the website and the development of a business plan. We continue to believe the technical aspects of our website will be sufficiently developed. We have exhausted the proceeds from the private placement.
 
We have used up the proceeds and need to find alternative sources, such as a second private placement of securities, a joint venture or strategic partner 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 the additional cash.
 
Currently, we have no financing plans.
 
Plan of Operation
 
We will not be conducting any product research or development other than the development of 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 to establish an office which will include computer equipment, office equipment and supplies, telephones and other assets needed for operation of our business.
 
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 to accomplish the foregoing through the following milestones:
 
1. We will continue to work out of our offices in Chapel Hill and our officers will continue to handle any administrative work.
 
2

 
2. We need to raise additional capital through the sale of common stock or through loans. Currently, we have not initiated a program to raise cash.
 
3. We will work to contact and negotiate with large industry leaders to offer their product on our website. We will also attempt to locate smaller, new manufacturers to offer their product on a more exclusive basis. We hope to have one contract signed within the next 90 days. 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 continue to 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 fully operational and $5,000 to have our data base initially ready to receive information. We do not have the money to fund this. The creation and operation of the website and the data base is not dependent upon signing any contracts with a manufacturer. At some 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.
 
4. As soon as our website is operational, 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. We don’t have the money to fund our marketing campaign. Marketing and advertising will be focused on promoting our website to prospective customers through 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 e-mail, telephone calls and mailings. Advertising will be considered and used to support the e-mail, telephone calls and mailings in certain market segments. The advertising campaign will include the design and printing of various sales materials. 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 the initiation of a complete marketing initiative. 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.

5. 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 publicly 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.
 
6. Within 90 days from the successful 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.
 
7. Once the website is fully operational, we will locate and negotiate 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.
 
In summary, it has proven to be a more difficult task to get our company fully operational but we continue to work our business plan while we seek new sources of cash to support the ongoing operations. 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 database 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. Because we have been unable to generate revenues over the preceding year we will begin to seek out other sources of cash including new investors, joint venture and strategic partners or loans from our officers or directors. 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 a development stage company 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 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.

Liquidity and capital resources
 
As of the date of this report, we have yet to generate any revenues from our business operations.
 
Since inception, we sold 518,457 shares of common stock to one of our officers for $25,923 consideration. Additionally, since inception we sold 200,000 shares of common stock to one individual for $10,000.
 
In March 2006, we completed a private placement of our common stock pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Reg. 506 of the Securities Act of 1933. We raised gross proceeds of $172,500, net $158,000 after offering expenses of $14,500, by selling 3,450,000 restricted shares of our common stock to 38 persons. We have exhausted the money.

As of September 30, 2007, our total assets were $389 consisting of cash and we had $0 in liabilities.
 
Critical accounting policies and estimates
 
Management has reviewed the financial statement disclosures for the list of the most important accounting policies that the Company has. Management feels that the accounting policies that are estimate based, fair value, and revenue recognition are the most important accounting policies that the Company has.
 
Recent accounting pronouncements
 
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (hereinafter “SFAS No. 159”). This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This Statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the Board’s long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments. This statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007, although earlier adoption is permitted. Management has not determined the effect that adopting this statement would have on the Company’s financial condition or results of operation.

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)” (hereinafter “SFAS No. 158”). This statement requires an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded positions of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets of a not for profit organization. This statement also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. The adoption of this statement had no immediate material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
 
ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded as of the evaluation date that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the material information required to be included in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms relating to our company, particularly during the period when this report was being prepared.

Additionally, there were no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the evaluation date. We have not identified any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal controls, and therefore there were no corrective actions taken.
