Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
As at September 30, 2003
1. | Basis of preparation and presentation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared to reflect the legal acquisition on June 30, 2003 of Image Innovations Inc. (“Image”) by Image Innovations Holdings Inc. formerly Busanda Explorations Inc. (“Image Holdings”) (the “Acquisition”). The consolidated financial statements of Image Holdings give effect to the Acquisition under which the shareholders of Image Innovations exchanged all of their common shares of Image Innovations for common shares of Image Holdings. Notwithstanding its legal form, the Acquisition has been accounted for as a reverse takeover, as the former shareholders of Image own in aggregate approximately 55% of the common shares of Image Holdings, and so are now the majority shareholders of Image Holdings. Also, as Image Holdings was an inactive company with nominal net non-monetary assets, the Acquisition has been accounted for as an issuance of stock by Image accompanied by a recapitalization (see note 3 Common Stock). The net monetary liabilities of Image Holdings acquired by Image have been charged to the accumulated deficit. As required under reverse takeover accounting, these financial statements have been issued under the name of Image Holdings and reflect the share capital structure of Image Holdings. However, they reflect the financial statements of Image and account for the Acquisition as an acquisition of Image Holdings by Image. The consolidated financial statements therefore include: |
| | |
| (a) | a consolidated balance sheet prepared from the unaudited balance sheets of Image Holdings and Image as at September 30, 2003. |
| | |
| (b) | consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and changes in shareholders’ equity (deficit) prepared from the unaudited statements of operations, cash flows and changes in shareholders’ equity (deficit) of Image for the period from January 14, 2003 (date of incorporation of Image) to September 30, 2003 and for the three months ended September 30, 2003. The results of operations, cash flows and changes in shareholders’ equity (deficit) of Image Holdings are included commencing June 30, 2003, the date of the Acquisition. |
| | |
| Image was incorporated on January 14, 2003. The consolidated statement of operations has been prepared for the period from this date to September 30, 2003. No comparative information has been provided as this is the first year of operations for Image. |

2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: Organization Image Holdings was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on March 3, 1998 for the purpose to promote and carry on any lawful business for which a corporation may be incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada. Image Holdings has a total of 50,000,000 authorized common shares with a par value of $.001 per share and with 18,170,000 common shares issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2003. Image Holdings has a total of 1,000,000 authorized preferred shares with a par value of $.01 per share, there were no preferred shares issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2003. |

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
As at September 30, 2003
| The consolidated financial statements for Image Holdings included herein are unaudited but reflect, in management’s opinion, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, that are necessary for a fair presentation of Image Holdings' financial position and the results of its operations for the interim periods presented and are necessary to ensure that the financial statements of the company are not misleading. Prior to the Acquisition Image Holdings then Busanda Explorations Inc., had entered into an agreement to purchase mineral property claims in the Laird Mining Division, British Columbia, Canada, but lost the claim due to lack of funding. Image Holdings had no other business. Image Holdings was therefore an inactive company with nominal net non-monetary assets, the shares of which were and continue to be publicly traded on the OTC Bulletin Board. Image was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on January 14, 2003 for the purpose to promote and carry on any lawful business for which a corporation may be incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Image has a total of 1,500 authorized common shares with no par value and has 1,000 common shares issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2003. Image has been established to become a recognized player in the field of promotional licensing and branding. Image’s goal is to add value to a wide variety of relatively low cost, but desirable or essential products, by endorsing them with the brand logos of sports teams and/or household trademarks. Image has entered into a license agreement with NHL Enterprises, LP for the license of the National Hockey League name and other NHL logos and indicia for use in connection with batteries and other battery related products. The license is a non-exclusive license for the United States. The license is for a term expiring December 31, 2004. Image has also entered into a letter of intent with NFL Properties LLC for the grant of a license to use the National Football League mark and other related marks in connection with batteries, flashlights with batteries, e-badge with batteries, radios with batteries, and universal remote controls with batteries. The license will be limited to the United States. The license will be for a term expiring March 31, 2004 and is subject to the execution of a definitive license agreement with NFL Properties LLC. Image has also entered into a license agreement with Riddell Sports Group. Riddell is the official supplier of Football helmets to the NFL and supplies helmets to most football teams of the NCAA and the CFL. Under the terms of the agreement Image Innovations Inc. will manufacture and distribute a pocket size AM/FM radio with ear jacks, replicating Riddell-style football helmet. The initial term of the agreement is for one year with renewal terms up to the year 2005 if certain conditions are fulfilled. Image plans to pursue negotiations with further sports leagues and sports teams to obtain additional license rights. |

OVERVIEW
Image Innovations Holdings Inc., formerly Busanda Explorations Inc., (“We”, “Image Innovations Holdings” or the “Company”) completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Image Innovations Inc. (“Image Innovations”) effective June 30, 2003. Image Innovations is a Delaware corporation incorporated on January 14, 2003. The acquisition was completed pursuant to offers made by us dated June 23, 2003 to all the shareholders of Image Innovations to purchase their shares in exchange for an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of our common stock on the basis of 10,000 shares for each outstanding share of Image Innovations. It was a condition precedent of closing that all shareholders of Image Innovations accept our offer and that audited financial statements of Image Innovations had been delivered to us. We issued 10,000,000 shares of our common stock to the existing shareholders of Image Innovations in consideration of the transfer by the existing shareholders of all of their shares of Image Innovations to us. As a result of this transaction, Image Innovations is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Image Innovations Holdings.
Image Innovations was incorporated to engage in the business of promotional licensing and branding with the objective of adding value to a wide variety of relatively low cost, but desirable or essential products, by endorsing them with the brand logos of sports teams and/ or other recognized trademarks. On February 11, 2003, Image Innovations entered into a retail license agreement with NHL Enterprises, L.P. to market a limited range of products under the National Hockey League brand. Image Innovations has signed a letter of intent with National Football League Properties to obtain a license to market a limited range of products under the NFL brand.
The principal components of the business strategy of Image Innovations are as follows:
1. | To identify a range of consumer products that can be manufactured and resold for high mark-ups with the product endorsement of recognized sports teams and leagues; |
| |
2. | To enter into licensing agreements to obtain product endorsement rights for the targeted products from recognized sports teams and leagues; |
| |
3. | To enter into manufacturing arrangements for the manufacture of the targeted products with the licensed product endorsements; |
3
4. | To arrange for sale of the targeted products through established distribution channels; and |
| |
5. | To market the targeted products to consumers. |
| |
Each of the components of our business strategy for the business of Image Innovations, our operating subsidiary, is discussed below as follows: |
| |
1. | Targeting of Products Image Innovations plans to target relatively low cost, but desirable or essential consumer products. Image Innovations has selected alkaline batteries as its initial targeted product. Image Innovations believe that alkaline batteries and alkaline battery products satisfy our criteria of being relatively low cost products that are capable of high markup and that are either desirable or essential products used by consumers. Alkaline batteries and battery products offer a range of opportunities for branding and product endorsement. Examples of battery products include desk clocks, travel clocks, flashlights, radios, calculators, touch-lights, personal alcohol breath testers and educational items. |
| |
2. | Licensing Agreements Image Innovations has entered into a license agreement with NHL Enterprises, LP for the license of the National Hockey League name and other NHL logos and indicia for use in connection with batteries and other battery related products. The license is a non-exclusive license for the United States. The license is for a term expiring December 31, 2004. Image Innovations will pay to NHL Enterprises, LP a royalty of 10% of net sales. In addition, Image Innovations will pay guaranteed annual minimum payments of $60,000 US, including an upfront fee of $15,000 US that has been paid by Image Innovations. Image Innovations has also entered into a letter of intent with NFL Properties LLC for the grant of a license to use the National Football League mark and other related marks in connection with batteries, flashlights with batteries, e-badge with batteries, radios with batteries, and universal remote controls with batteries. The arrangement requires an advance royalty payment of $100,000 US, which has been paid by Image Innovations. Image Innovations is required to pay a royalty of 11% of net sales. The license will be limited to the United States. The license will be for a term expiring March 31, 2004 and is subject to the execution of a definitive license agreement with NFL Properties LLC. We entered into a license agreement with RHC Licensing Corporation in July 2003 whereby we acquired a license to manufacture a pocket-size AM/FM Helmet Radio that replicates a Riddell style football helmet. The license agreement is for a one year term for the United States and Canada and requires us to pay a royalty based on net sales. We have the right to renew the agreement for additional one year terms upon our achieving performance milestones stipulated in the agreement. We paid a non-refundable royalty payment of $20,000 upon execution of the license agreement. We plan to pursue negotiations with further sports leagues and sports teams to obtain additional license rights. |
| |
3. | Manufacturing Arrangements Image Innovations does not anticipate manufacturing any of the targeted products. Image Innovations plans to outsource manufacturing to manufacturers located primarily in the Far East. Image Innovations believes manufacturing in the Far East will offer the best price competitiveness and also the most advanced technology for batteries and battery related products. Image Innovations has begun to establish relationships with major suppliers in Asia who are believed by Image Innovations to be capable of delivering innovative products with the brand recognition colors and symbols of the licensed properties. Image Innovations plans to establish these relationships through attendance at major international trade shows and through a program of personal visits to the Far |
4
| East. Image Innovations plans to work with its major suppliers in order to keep abreast of new product lines as they become available in order that its targeted products remain in demand. |
| |
4. | Distribution Image Innovations plans to use in-house staff and a network of independent brokers to market its product to targeted retailers. Image Innovations believes that the key to gaining entry into major retailers will be established relationships. Image Innovations plans to establish a network of seasoned salesmen in the United States who will spearhead its marketing campaigns in North America. The targeted retail market will focus on chain stores, convenience stores, drug stores, electronic retailers and specialty distributors. |
| |
5. | Marketing Image Innovations’ marketing strategy will be to focus its licensing program on premier sports franchises and household name trademarks. By combining high profile brand names and trademarks with desirable or essential consumer products, Image Innovations believes that demand for its products will be created. Image Innovations’ overall objective is to establish itself as a specialized brand licensing and promotional merchandising company. One objective of Image Innovations will be to create brand name awareness amongst decision makers who place its targeted products into its targeted market. |
| |
PLAN OF OPERATIONS We anticipate that we will require approximately $2,820,000 over the next twelve months in order to carry out the plan of operations for Image Innovations. This amount is comprised of the following amounts: |
| |
1. | We anticipate that we will require approximately $1,500,000 over the next twelve months in connection with the acquisition of products for resale pursuant to our license arrangements. This amount includes amounts to be paid for letters of credit to fund purchases of product from manufacturers. These costs will include manufacturing costs, freight, duties, insurance and import and customs expenses. The amount that we spend on product acquisition expenses will be dependent both on the amount of financing that we are able to achieve and upon our success in establishing sales of products bearing the brand names we have licensed. We anticipate spending approximately $50,000 to develop new products under license arrangements for marketing to customers. An example of a new product that we are currently developing is a “Ridell” styled football helmet incorporating an AM/FM radio pursuant to our license agreement with RHC Licensing Corporation. We also anticipate spending approximately $50,000 to attend trade shows to display and market our products to potential customers, including retailers. |
| |
2. | We anticipate that we will require approximately $1,000,000 to fund our operating expenses over the next twelve month period. We anticipate that this amount will also vary based on the amount of financing that we are able to achieve and based on the success of our sales efforts. If we achieve less than the necessary financing or if our sales are less than projected, then we will scale back our operating expenses accordingly. We anticipate hiring approximately 5 additional employees in order to pursue our plan of operations. |
| |
3. | We require approximately $320,000 in order to repay a portion of the demand loans advanced by H.E. Capital S.A. These loans have been used to fund our initial operating expenses and our obligations under our license arrangements. Mr. Clifford Wilkins, our chief executive officer and a director, is a director of H.E. Capital S.A. Mr. Christopher Smith, our chief financial officer and a director, is also a director of H.E. Capital S.A. |
| |
Of the total amount of projected expenditures, we anticipate that approximately one-half of these expenses will be incurred over the next six month period. We are planning an equity financing in order to raise the necessary funds to proceed with the plan of operations for Image Innovations. We do not have any arrangements for any equity financing currently in place and there is no assurance that the necessary equity financing will be achieved. Accordingly, there is a risk that we will not achieve additional financing and that we |
5
will have to scale back the plan of operations of Image Innovations to reflect the actual proceeds available to us. Furthermore, there is no assurance that H.E. Capital S.A. will advance further funds to us in order to continue to fund our plan of operations. If we are not able to achieve the necessary financing, then our ability to complete our plan of operations and our business and financial condition will be adversely affected.
PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION
We completed the acquisition of Image Innovations effective June 30, 2003. Under United States generally accepted accounting principles, our financial statements have been prepared using reverse-acquisition accounting principles, which resulted in Image Innovations acquiring Image Innovations Holdings for accounting purposes. Accordingly, Image Innovations is treated as the acquirer for accounting purposes, even though Image Innovations Holdings is the legal acquirer. Under United States generally accepted accounting principles, comparative figures for prior periods are based on the operating results of Image Innovations, but the type of share capital and number of issued and outstanding shares continue to reflect those of Image Innovations Holdings.
OPERATING RESULTS
We incurred expenses totalling $156,344 during the three month period ended September 30, 2003 and $350,832 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2003. These expenses were associated with the start-up of the Image Innovations business. These expenses were financed by advances from H.E. Capital S.A., which advances totalled $822,384 as of September 30, 2003. We anticipate that the operating expenses of Image Innovations will continue to increase as we carry out our plan of operations. These increased operating expenses will be incurred prior to Image Innovations realizing revenues. In view of these factors, we will require financing in order to carry out our plan of operations.
LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
We are in the start-up phase of our operations. We did not earn any revenues from January 14, 2003, the date of the incorporation of Image Innovations, to September 30, 2003. We have not earned any revenues to date. In addition, we had a working capital deficit of $388,109 as of September 30, 2003. Our ability to generate revenues will depend on our ability to obtain financing to fund our plan of operations and our success in implementing our plan of operations. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain the financing required to enable us to carry out our plan of operations.
We have been dependent upon H.E. Capital S.A., a related party, in order to fund the business of Image Innovations to date. H.E. Capital originally agreed to advance up to $500,000 to Image Innovations in order to finance the start-up of our business operations pursuant to a loan agreement between H.E. Capital and Image Innovations dated January 14, 2003. We entered into an amendment to the loan agreement with H.E. Capital on November 5, 2003 whereby H.E. Capital agreed to advance up to $1,000,000 under the terms of the loan agreement. H.E. Capital has advanced to Image Innovations a total of $822,384 as of September 30, 2003 and an amount of $822,384 was payable to H.E. Capital S.A. as of September 30, 2003. The loans bear interest at the rate of 9% per annum and are repayable upon demand. The loans are secured by a general security agreement granted by Image Innovations against all of its assets. There is no assurance that H.E. Capital S.A. will advance additional amounts in order to fund the business of Image Innovations in excess of its current commitment to advance $1,000,000. We have no arrangement for the financing of the business of Image Innovations and there is no assurance that the required financing will be obtained.
H.E. Capital S.A. is a party that is related to us. H.E. Capital is a financial brokerage institution, both domestically and internationally. Mr. Christopher Smith, our chief financial officer and a director, and Mr. Clifford Wilkins, the chairman of our board of directors, are directors of H.E. Capital. Mr. Wilkins indirectly has a 50% shareholding in H.E. Capital. Mr. Smith is not a shareholder of H.E. Capital, but is the chief financial officer of H.E. Capital.
We plan to pursue equity financings through private placements of our common stock or common stock and share purchase warrants in order to raise the funds necessary to enable us to pursue our plan of operations for the next twelve months. We do not have any arrangements in place for equity financings and there is no
6
assurance that any equity financing will be achieved. If an equity financing is achieved, then it is anticipated that existing shareholders will suffer dilution.
Our plan of operations for the business of Image Innovations will require that we obtain additional financing in order that it can complete purchases of targeted products from manufacturers. Manufacturers of the targeted products will require that Image Innovations have in place letters of credit in favour of manufacturers prior to the start of manufacturing. The posting of letters of credit is a standard arrangement for international manufacturing orders and is a mechanism that provides manufacturers with assurance that they will be paid for the products they manufacture. Letters of credit will only be issued by financial institutions against a deposit of either cash or against collateral of an amount sufficient to enable the financial institution to post a letter of credit. Although Image Innovations plans to only order product from manufacturers when it is in possession of firm purchase orders, manufacturers will require that letters of credit are in place at the time of ordering. Due to our current working capital deficit, we will require additional financing before we are able to post letters of credit and start the manufacturing process.
We anticipate that there will be a period of four months between the time that product is ordered from a manufacturer until the time payment is received from customers. This four month period includes two months for production, one month for shipping and delivery and a final ten to thirty days to receive payment from customers. Due to this time lag between posting of a letter of credit and ultimate realization of revenues, the amount of revenues that we will be able to achieve will be dependent on the amount of upfront financing that we are able to obtain. If we are not able to obtain financing, then we will not be able to order products from manufacturers with the result that we may not be able to achieve revenues.

ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2003, being the date of our most recently completed fiscal quarter. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Alain Kardos and Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Christopher Smith. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting management to material information relating to us required to be included in our periodic SEC filings. There have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date we carried out our evaluation.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
During our most recently completed fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2003, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
The term “internal control over financial reporting” is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the registrant's principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the registrant's board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
| (1) | Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the registrant; |
| | |
| (2) | Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the registrant are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the registrant; and |
| | |
| (3) | Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the registrant's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
