Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 Organization and basis of presentation:
Home Shopping Express S.A. (the “Company” or “HSE”) was organized as a corporation under the laws of Spain in November 2007. The Company is located in Baleares, Spain and is engaged in the development and retail sale of consumer products throughout most of Europe.
The Company maintains its principal accounting records in EUROS under International Financial Accounting Standards (“IFRS”). All financial information contained herein is reflected by application of Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and has been translated to United States Dollars applying the concepts of foreign currency translation provided in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) ASC 830 Foreign Currency Matters. Notwithstanding, the currency of measurement underlying the Company’s reported assets, liabilities and operations continues to be EUROS for all periods presented. Translation of the Company’s balance sheet provided for translation at the period end exchange rate. The statement of operations information was translated using average annual exchange rates during the period. The translation effects of the exchange rate changes are included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.
Note 2 Summary of significant accounting policies:
Interim financial information – The accompanying consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2011 and for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 are unaudited, but have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required for complete financial statements. However, the unaudited consolidated financial information includes all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the consolidated financial position and the consolidated results of operations for the interim periods presented. The operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2011.
Use of estimates – The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in our consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates embodied in the Company’s consolidated financial statements include estimating the collectability of accounts receivable and the recoverability of inventories. All estimates were developed by or under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer using the best available information at the time of the estimate. However, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Principles of consolidation – Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of HSE and its wholly owned subsidiary HSE, LLC, a Florida Limited Liability Company. All material intercompany accounts have been eliminated.
Revenue recognition – We derive revenue from retail product sales and recognize revenue when evidence of the arrangement exists, in the case of products when the product is shipped to a customer, when our sales price is fixed or determinable, and finally, when we have concluded that amounts are collectible from the customers. Estimated amounts for product sales returns and allowances are recorded at the time of sale. Shipping costs billed to customers are included as a component of product sales. The associated cost of shipping is included as a component of cost of product sales.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued):
Accounts receivable – Accounts receivable represents normal trade obligations from customers that are subject to normal trade collection terms, without discounts or rebates. We may require deposits or retainers when we consider a customer’s credit risk to warrant the collection of such. Notwithstanding these collections, we periodically evaluate the collectability of our accounts receivable and consider the need to establish an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon our historical collection experience and specifically identifiable information about our customers.
Inventories – Inventories consist of retail merchandise that is in its finished form and ready for sale to end-user customers. Inventories are recorded at the lower of average cost or market. Our inventories are acquired and carried for retail sale and, accordingly, the carrying value is susceptible to, among other things, market trends and conditions and overall customer demand. We use our best estimates of all available information to establish reasonable inventory quantities. However, these conditions may cause our inventories to become obsolete and/or excessive. We review our inventories periodically for indications that reserves are necessary to reduce the carrying values to the lower of cost or market values.
Property and equipment – Property and equipment are recorded at our cost. We depreciate property and equipment, other than land, using the straight-line method over lives that we believe the assets will have utility. Buildings and building improvements are depreciated over 30 years. Furnishings and office equipment are depreciated over 5 years. We allocate depreciation expense related to assets directly associated with our product sales to cost of product sales. Our expenditures for additions, improvements and renewals are capitalized, while normal expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense. We evaluate the carrying value of property and equipment for impairment annually or at more frequent intervals should circumstances indicate impairment may be present. Our evaluation is a two step process. The first step is to compare our undiscounted cash flows, as projected over the remaining useful lives of the assets, to their respective carrying values. In the event that the carrying values are not recovered by future undiscounted cash flows, as a second step, we compare the carrying values to the related fair values and, if the fair value is lower, we record an impairment adjustment. For purposes of fair value, we generally use a discounted cash flow approach, using risk-adjusted discount rates.
Advertising – We expense advertising costs when incurred.
Income taxes – Our principal corporate taxing jurisdictions are the country of Spain and the United States, and the State of Florida. Deferred taxes are provided on an asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
Comprehensive income – Comprehensive income is defined as all changes in stockholders’ equity from transactions and other events and circumstances. Therefore, comprehensive income includes our net income plus the effects of our foreign currency translation adjustments during the period. The following table reconciles our net income to comprehensive income for the periods presented herein:

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 6 Income taxes (continued):
For purposes of recognition of income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, we estimate and apply a composite rate for our taxing jurisdictions.
Note 7 Commitments and contingencies:
Major Supplier Concentrations:
HSE buys its products from one entity that represents 87% of its total cost of goods. Accounts payable owed to this entity amount to $ 158,591 at December 31, 2010.
Other Matters:
As of March 31, 2011, the Company was subject to the various legal proceedings and claims that have not been fully resolved and that have arisen in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the Company does not have a potential liability related to any current legal proceeding or claim that would individually or in the aggregate materially adversely affect its financial condition or operating results. However, the results of legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty. Should the Company fail to prevail in these legal matters, the operating results of a particular reporting period could be materially adversely affected.
In connection with our business, we enter into various arrangements from time to time that are routine and customary for the operation of our business that include commitments, typically of a short duration. These arrangements include, among other things, infomercial development and production arrangements and royalty or contingent consideration to product manufacturers or infomercial hosts. As of March 31, 2011, we do not believe that our routine and customary business arrangements are material for reporting purposes.
Note 8 Subsequent Event:
On May 9, 2011, stockholders in our Company sold 5,000 of our total 10,000 issued and outstanding common shares to Infusion Brands International, Inc., a Nevada Corporation (“Infusion Brands”), plus an option to purchase the remaining 5,000 issued and outstanding shares. The Stock Purchase Agreement, that was agreed to by all of our stockholders, extended management and governance control over all operational and financial aspects of our business to Infusion Brands. As a result, Infusion Brands is our Parent Company commencing on May 9, 2011 and our financial information will thereafter be consolidated with those in the consolidated financial statements of Infusion Brands.
