JB CLOTHING CORPORATION
47 FOUNTAINVIEW CIRCLE
HENDERSON, NEVADA 89052
You should read the following summary together with the more detailed business information, financial statements and related notes that appear elsewhere in this prospectus. In this prospectus, unless the context otherwise denotes, references to “we,” “us,” “our” and “Company” refer to JB Clothing Corporation”.
General Information about the Company
JB Clothing Corporation was incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 24, 2008. JB Clothing Corporation is a development stage company with a principal business of selling active/leisure lines of women’s clothing. The Company’s initial clothing line consists of the use of a denim and spandex combination in the construction that is uniquely comfortable and fashionable in design. We plan to stay on the cutting edge of the constantly changing active/leisure market and our goal is to create a quality reputation within the garment marketplace. JB Clothing conducted research on various marketing venues and plans to sell our initial line of clothing through the use of website online sales and print media.
JB Clothing Corporation is a development stage company that has not significantly commenced its planned principal operations. JB Clothing Corporation operations to date have been devoted primarily to start-up and development activities, which include the following:
| 1. | Formation of the Company; |
| 2. | Development of the JB Clothing Corporation business plan; |
| 3. | Initiated various garment designs and reviewed the use of different material for construction of our proposed product lines; |
| 4. | Conducted research on three major marketing channels/strategies including online sales, print media medium, and commissioned sales force; |
| 5. | Formulated product development and marketing strategies for product lines to include: |
| · | ”H.I.T. (Hot Innovative Trends) the Streets” – popular casual designs |
| · | “H.I.T. the Beach” – cutting edge swimwear |
| · | “H.I.T. the Gym” – newly designed workout wear incorporating bold color combinations |
| · | “H.I.T. the Sheets” – line of women’s sleepwear |
| 6. | Secured web site domain www.jbclothingcorp.com; |
| 7. | Conducted research on women demographics. |
JB Clothing Corporation is attempting to become operational and anticipates sales to begin during the third quarter of operations following the placement of our offering. In order to generate revenues, JB Clothing Corporation must address the following areas:
| 1. | Finalize and implement our marketing plan: In order to effectively penetrate our targeted market, JB Clothing will use a multi-faceted marketing plan that includes a high-end web site, targeted print media catalogs and magazines, and target specific distribution channels using independent representatives. Independent commissioned sales representatives work as middlemen between JB Clothing and the retailers. Their responsibilities include approaching large retailers, work trade shows and employ creative marketing techniques to attract boutique type retailers and shops. |
| 2. | Tailor or website: JB Clothing has secured the web domain located at www.jbclothingcorp.com. The site is currently under construction and we plan to incorporate this site with strategic vertical market e-commerce retailers. We have budget the necessary funding to develop a quality site. |
| 3. | Constantly monitor our market: We plan to constantly monitor our target market and adapt to consumers needs, wants and desires. To be successful we plan to evolve and diversify our product lines to satisfy the consumer. |
| 4. | Run our Company ethically and responsibly: Conduct our business and ourselves ethically and responsibly. |
The Company believes that raising $40,000 through the sale of common equity is sufficient for the company to become operational and sustain operations through the next twelve (12) months. The capital raised has been budgeted to establish our infrastructure and to become a fully reporting company. We believe that the recurring revenues from sales of our garments will be sufficient to support ongoing operations. Unfortunately, this can be no assurance that the actual expenses incurred will not materially exceed our estimates or that cash flow from services and sales will be adequate to maintain our business. As a result, our independent auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern in the independent auditors’ report to the financial statements included in the registration statement.
JB Clothing Corporation currently has one officer and director. This individual allocates time and personal resources to JB Clothing Corporation on a part-time basis and devotes approximately 10 hours a week to the Company.
As of the date of this prospectus, JB Clothing Corporation has 10,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock issued and outstanding.
JB Clothing Corporation has administrative offices located on the premises of our President, Rick A. Plote, which he provides on a rent free basis. The address is 47 Fountainhead Circle, Henderson, Nevada 89052.
JB Clothing Corporation’s fiscal year end is August 31.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of the financial statements
An investment in these securities involves an exceptionally high degree of risk and is extremely speculative in nature. Following are what we believe are all of the material risks involved if you decide to purchase shares in this offering.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR COMPANY:
RICK A. PLOTE, THE SOLE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR OF THE COMPANY, CURRENTLY DEVOTES APPROXIMATELY 10 HOURS PER WEEK TO COMPANY MATTERS. HE DOES NOT HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMPANY EXPERIENCE AND IS INVOLVED IN OTHER BUSINESS ACTIVITIES. THE COMPANY'S NEEDS COULD EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF TIME OR LEVEL OF EXPERIENCE HE MAY HAVE. THIS COULD RESULT IN HIS INABILITY TO PROPERLY MANAGE COMPANY AFFAIRS, RESULTING IN OUR REMAINING A START-UP COMPANY WITH NO REVENUES OR PROFITS.
Our business plan does not provide for the hiring of any additional employees until sales will support the expense, which is estimated to be the third quarter of operations. Until that time, the responsibility of developing the company's business, the offering and selling of the shares through this prospectus and fulfilling the reporting requirements of a public company all fall upon Rick A. Plote. While Mr. Plote has business experience including management and accounting, he does not have experience in a public company setting, including serving as a principal accounting officer or principal financial officer. We have not formulated a plan to resolve any possible conflict of interest with his other business activities. In the event he is unable to fulfill any aspect of his duties to the company we may experience a shortfall or complete lack of sales resulting in little or no profits and eventual closure of the business.
SINCE WE ARE A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY, THE COMPANY HAS GENERATED NO REVENUES AND DOES NOT HAVE AN OPERATING HISTORY, AN INVESTMENT IN THE SHARES OFFERED HEREIN IS HIGHLY RISKY AND COULD RESULT IN A COMPLETE LOSS OF YOUR INVESTMENT IF WE ARE UNSUCCESSFUL IN OUR BUSINESS PLANS.
The Company was incorporated on September 24, 2008; we have not yet commenced our business operations; and we have not yet realized any revenues. We have no operating history upon which an evaluation of our future prospects can be made. Based upon current plans, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods as we incurred significant expenses associated with the initial startup of our business. Further, we cannot guarantee that we will be successful in realizing revenues or in achieving or sustaining positive cash flow at any time in the future. Any such failure could result in the possible closure of our business or force us to seek additional capital through loans or additional sales of our equity securities to continue business operations, which would dilute the value of any shares you purchase in this offering.
WE DO NOT YET HAVE ANY SUBSTANTIAL ASSETS AND ARE TOTALLY DEPENDENT UPON THE PROCEEDS OF THIS OFFERING TO FULLY FUND OUR BUSINESS. IF WE DO NOT SELL THE SHARES IN THIS OFFERING WE WILL HAVE TO SEEK ALTERNATIVE FINANCING TO COMPLETE OUR BUSINESS PLANS OR ABANDON THEM.
JB Clothing Corporation has limited capital resources. To date, the Company has funded its operations from limited funding and has not generated sufficient cash from operations to be profitable. Unless JB Clothing Corporation begins to generate sufficient revenues to finance operations as a going concern, JB Clothing Corporation may experience liquidity and solvency problems. Such liquidity and solvency problems may force JB Clothing Corporation to cease operations if additional financing is not available. No known alternative resources of funds are available to JB Clothing Corporation in the event it does not have adequate proceeds from this offering. However, JB Clothing Corporation believes that the net proceeds of the Offering will be sufficient to satisfy the start-up and operating requirements for the next twelve months.
WE CANNOT PREDICT WHEN OR IF WE WILL PRODUCE REVENUES, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A TOTAL LOSS OF YOUR INVESTMENT IF WE ARE UNSUCCESSFUL IN OUR BUSINESS PLANS.
We have not sold any clothing to date and have not yet generated any revenues from operations. In order for us to continue with our plans and open our business, we must raise our initial capital through this offering. The timing of the completion of the milestones needed to commence operations and generate revenues is contingent on the success of this offering. There can be no assurance that we will generate revenues or that revenues will be sufficient to maintain our business. As a result, you could lose all of your investment if you decide to purchase shares in this offering and we are not successful in our proposed business plans.
OUR CONTINUED OPERATIONS DEPEND ON THE PUBLIC'S ACCEPTANCE OF OUR PRODUCT LINES. IF THE PUBLIC DOESN'T FIND OUR CLOTHING DESIRABLE AND SUITABLE FOR PURCHASE AND WE CANNOT ESTABLISH A CUSTOMER BASE, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO GENERATE ANY REVENUES, WHICH WOULD RESULT IN A FAILURE OF OUR BUSINESS AND A LOSS OF ANY INVESTMENT YOU MAKE IN OUR SHARES.
The ability to develop clothing lines that the market finds desirable and willing to purchase is critically important to our success. We cannot be certain that garments and clothing lines we offer will be appealing to the market and as a result there may not be any demand and our sales could be limited and we may never realize any revenues. In addition, there are no assurances that if we alter, or develop new garments or lines of clothing in the future that the markets demand for these will develop and this could adversely affect our business and any possible revenues.
THE LOSS OF THE SERVICES OF RICK A. PLOTE COULD SEVERELY IMPACT OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF OUR CLOTHING LINES, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A LOSS OF REVENUES AND YOUR ABILITY TO EVER SELL ANY SHARES YOU PURCHASE IN THIS OFFERING.
Our performance is substantially dependent upon the professional expertise of our President, Rick A. Plote. His past experience to lead and nurture small and start-up companies makes the Company dependent on his abilities. If he were unable to perform his services, this loss of the services could have an adverse effect on our business operations, financial condition and operating results if we are unable to replace him with another individual qualified to develop and market our garments. The loss of his services could result in a loss of revenues, which could result in a reduction of the value of any shares you purchase in this offering.
THE CLOTHING INDUSTRY IS HIGHLY COMPETITIVE. IF WE CAN NOT DEVELOP AND MARKET DESIRABLE CLOTHING LINES THAT THE PUBLIC IS WILLING TO PURCHASE, WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO COMPETE SUCCESSFULLY, OUR BUSINESS MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED AND WE MAY NEVER BE ABLE TO GENERATE ANY REVENUES.
JB Clothing Corporation has many potential competitors in the clothing industry. We consider the competition is competent, experienced, and they have greater financial and marketing resources than we do at the present. Our ability to compete effectively may be adversely affected by the ability of these competitors to devote greater resources to the development, sales, and marketing of their products than are available to us.
Some of the Company’s competitors also offer a wider range of clothing lines; have greater name recognition and more extensive customer bases than the Company. These competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or changing opportunities, fashions and customer desires, undertake more extensive promotional activities, offer terms that are more attractive to customers and adopt more aggressive pricing policies than the Company. Moreover, current and potential competitors have established or may establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties to enhance their visibility. The Company expects that new competitors or alliances among competitors have the potential to emerge and may acquire significant market share. Competition by existing and future competitors could result in an inability to secure adequate market share sufficient to support JB Clothing’s endeavors. JB Clothing cannot be assured that it will be able to compete successfully against present or future competitors or that the competitive pressure it may face will not force it to cease operations. As a result, you may never be able to liquidate or sell any shares you purchase in this offering.
JB CLOTHING CORPORATION MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ATTAIN PROFITABILITY WITHOUT ADDITIONAL FUNDING, WHICH MAY BE UNAVAILABLE.
JB Clothing Corporation has limited capital resources. Unless JB Clothing Corporation begins to generate sufficient revenues to finance operations as a going concern, JB Clothing Corporation may experience liquidity and solvency problems. Such liquidity and solvency problems may force JB Clothing Corporation to cease operations if additional financing is not available. No known alternative resources of funds are available to JB Clothing Corporation the event it does not have adequate proceeds from this offering. However, JB Clothing Corporation believes that the net proceeds of the Offering will be sufficient to satisfy the start-up and operating requirements for the next twelve months.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS OFFERING
WE ARE SELLING THIS OFFERING WITHOUT AN UNDERWRITER AND MAY BE UNABLE TO SELL ANY SHARES. UNLESS WE ARE SUCCESSFUL IN SELLING THE MINIMUM OF THE SHARES AND RECEIVING THE PROCEEDS FROM THIS OFFERING, WE MAY HAVE TO SEEK ALTERNATIVE FINANCING TO IMPLEMENT OUR BUSINESS PLANS AND YOU WOULD RECEIVE A RETURN OF YOUR ENTIRE INVESTMENT.
This offering is self-underwritten, that is, we are not going to engage the services of an underwriter to sell the shares; we intend to sell them through our officer and director, who will receive no commissions. He will offer the shares to friends, relatives, acquaintances and business associates; however, there is no guarantee that he will be able to sell any of the shares. In the event we do not sell all of the shares before the expiration date of the offering, all funds raised will be promptly returned to the investors, without interest or deduction.
DUE TO THE LACK OF A TRADING MARKET FOR OUR SECURITIES, YOU MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY SELLING ANY SHARES YOU PURCHASE IN THIS OFFERING.
There is presently no demand for our common stock and no public market exists for the shares being offered in this prospectus. We plan to contact a market maker immediately following the effectiveness of this Registration Statement and apply to have the shares quoted on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board (OTCBB). The OTCBB is a regulated quotation service that displays real-time quotes, last sale prices and volume information in over-the-counter (OTC) securities. The OTCBB is not an issuer listing service, market or exchange. Although the OTCBB does not have any listing requirements per se, to be eligible for quotation on the OTCBB, issuers must remain current in their filings with the SEC or applicable regulatory authority. Market Makers are not permitted to begin quotation of a security whose issuer does not meet this filing requirement. Securities already quoted on the OTCBB that become delinquent in their required filings will be removed following a 30 or 60 day grace period if they do not make their required filing during that time. We cannot guarantee that our application will be accepted or approved and our stock listed and quoted for sale. As of the date of this filing, there have been no discussions or understandings between JB Clothing Corporation or anyone acting on our behalf with any market maker regarding participation in a future trading market for our securities. If no market is ever developed for our common stock, it will be difficult for you to sell any shares you purchase in this offering. In such a case, you may find that you are unable to achieve any benefit from your investment or liquidate your shares without considerable delay, if at all. In addition, if we fail to have our common stock quoted on a public trading market, your common stock will not have a quantifiable value and it may be difficult, if not impossible, to ever resell your shares, resulting in an inability to realize any value from your investment.
INVESTORS IN THIS OFFERING WILL BEAR A SUBSTANTIAL RISK OF LOSS DUE TO IMMEDIATE AND SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION
The principal shareholder of JB Clothing Corporation is Rick A. Plote who also serves as its Director, President, Secretary, and Treasurer. Mr. Plote acquired 5,000,000 restricted shares of JB Clothing Corporation common stock at a price per share of $0.001 for a $5,000 equity investment and acquired an additional 5,000,000 restricted shares of JB Clothing Corporation common stock at a price per share of $0.001 for services valued at $5,000. Upon the sale of the common stock offered hereby, the investors in this offering will experience an immediate and substantial “dilution.” Therefore, the investors in this offering will bear a substantial portion of the risk of loss. Additional sales of JB Clothing Corporation common stock in the future could result in further dilution. Please refer to the section titled “Dilution” herein.
PURCHASERS IN THIS OFFERING WILL HAVE LIMITED CONTROL OVER DECISION MAKING BECAUSE RICK PLOTE, JB CLOTHING CORPORATION’S OFFICER, DIRECTOR AND SHAREHOLDER CONTROLS ALL OF JB CLOTHING CORPORATION ISSUED AND OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK.
Presently, Rick A. Plote, JB Clothing Corporation’s Director, President, Secretary, and Treasurer beneficially owns 100% of the outstanding common stock. Because of such ownership, investors in this offering will have limited control over matters requiring approval by JB Clothing Corporation security holders, including the election of directors. Mr. Plote would retain 71.4% ownership in JB Clothing Corporation common stock assuming the maximum offering is attained. Such concentrated control may also make it difficult for JB Clothing Corporation stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of JB Clothing Corporation common stock in the event JB Clothing Corporation enters into transactions, which require stockholder approval. In addition, certain provisions of Nevada law could have the effect of making it more difficult or more expensive for a third party to acquire, or of discouraging a third party from attempting to acquire, control of JB Clothing Corporation. For example, Nevada law provides that not less than two-thirds vote of the stockholders is required to remove a director for cause, which could make it more difficult for a third party to gain control of the Board of Directors. This concentration of ownership limits the power to exercise control by the minority shareholders.
WE WILL INCUR ONGOING COSTS AND EXPENSES FOR SEC REPORTING AND COMPLIANCE, WITHOUT REVENUE WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO REMAIN IN COMPLIANCE, MAKING IT DIFFICULT FOR INVESTORS TO SELL THEIR SHARES, IF AT ALL.
Our business plan allows for the estimated $6,000 cost of this Registration Statement to be paid from our cash on hand. We plan to contact a market maker immediately following the effectiveness of this Registration Statement and apply to have the shares quoted on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board. To be eligible for quotation on the OTCBB, issuers must remain current in their filings with the SEC. Market Makers are not permitted to begin quotation of a security whose issuer does not meet this filing requirement. Securities already quoted on the OTCBB that become delinquent in their required filings will be removed following a 30 or 60 day grace period if they do not make their required filing during that time. In order for us to remain in compliance we will require future revenues to cover the cost of these filings, which could comprise a substantial portion of our available cash resources. If we are unable to generate sufficient revenues to remain in compliance it may be difficult for you to resell any shares you may purchase, if at all.

The offering price of the common stock has been arbitrarily determined and bears no relationship to any objective criterion of value. The price does not bear any relationship to JB Clothing Corporation’s assets, book value, historical earnings, or net worth. In determining the offering price, management considered such factors as the prospects, if any, for similar companies, anticipated results of operations, present financial resources and the likelihood of acceptance of this offering.
DILUTION OF THE PRICE YOU PAY FOR YOUR SHARES
“Dilution” represents the difference between the offering price of the shares of common stock and the net book value per share of common stock immediately after completion of the offering. “Net Book Value” is the amount that results from subtracting total liabilities from total assets. In this offering, the level of dilution is increased as a result of the relatively low book value of JB Clothing Corporation’s issued and outstanding stock. This is due in part because of the common stock issued to the JB Clothing Corporation officer, director, and employee totaling 10,000,000 shares at par value $0.001 per share versus the current offering price of $0.01 per share. Please refer to the section titled “Certain Transactions”, herein, for more information. JB Clothing Corporation net book value on September 30, 2008 was $(5,325). Assuming all 4,000,000 shares offered are sold, and in effect JB Clothing Corporation receive the maximum estimated proceeds of this offering from shareholders, JB Clothing Corporation net book value will be approximately $0.0025 per share. Therefore, any investor will incur an immediate and substantial dilution of approximately $0.0075 per share while the JB Clothing Corporation present stockholder will receive an increase of $0.003 per share in the net tangible book value of the shares that he holds. This will result in an 75.00% dilution for purchasers of stock in this offering.

JB Clothing Corporation’s authorized capital stock consists of 70,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value $.001, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value $.001 per share.
COMMON STOCK
JB Clothing Corporation’s authorized capital stock consists of 70,000,000 shares of common stock, with a par value of $0.001 per share.
The holders of our common stock:
| 1. | Have equal ratable rights to dividends from funds legally available therefore, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors; |
| 2. | Are entitled to share ratably in all of assets available for distribution to holders of common stock upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of corporate affairs; |
| 3. | Do not have preemptive, subscription or conversion rights and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions or rights; and |
| 4. | Are entitled to one vote per share on all matters on which stockholders may vote. |
All shares of common stock now outstanding are fully paid for and non-assessable and all shares of common stock which are the subject of this offering, when issued, will be fully paid for and non assessable.
NON-CUMULATIVE VOTING
Holders of JB Clothing Corporation common stock do not have cumulative voting rights. Cumulative voting rights are described as 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 such event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any of JB Clothing Corporation directors.
PREFERRED STOCK
JB Clothing Corporation has no current plans to either issue any preferred stock or adopt any series, preferences, or other classification of the 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized with a par value $.001 as stated in the Articles of Incorporation. The Board of Directors is authorized to (i) provide for the issuance of shares of the authorized preferred stock in series and (ii) by filing a certificate pursuant to the laws of Nevada, to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each such series and to fix the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each such series and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, all without any further vote or action by the stockholders. Any shares of issued preferred stock would have priority over the common stock with respect to dividend or liquidation rights. Any future issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring, or preventing a change in control of the company without further action by the stockholders and may adversely affect the voting and other rights of the holders of common stock.
The issuance of shares of preferred stock, or the issuance of rights to purchase such shares, could be used to discourage an unsolicited acquisition proposal. For instance, the issuance of a series of preferred stock might impede a business combination by including class voting rights that would enable the holder to block such a transaction, or facilitate a business combination by including voting rights that would provide a required percentage vote of the stockholders. In addition, under certain circumstances, the issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power of the holders of the common stock. Although the Board of Directors is required to make any determination to issue such stock based on its judgment as to the best interests of stockholders, the Board of Directors could act in a manner that would discourage an acquisition attempt or other transaction that potentially some, or a majority, of the stockholders might believe to be in their best interests or in which stockholders might receive a premium for their stock over the then market price of such stock. The Board of Directors does not at present intend to seek shareholder approval prior to any issuance of currently authorized stock, unless otherwise required by law or stock exchange rules.
PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS
No holder of any shares of JB Clothing Corporation stock has preemptive or preferential rights to acquire or subscribe for any shares not issued of any class of stock or any unauthorized securities convertible into or carrying any right, option, or warrant to subscribe for or acquire shares of any class of stock not disclosed herein.
CASH DIVIDENDS
As of the date of this prospectus, JB Clothing Corporation has not paid any cash dividends to stockholders. The declaration of any future cash dividend will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend upon earnings, if any, capital requirements and financial position, general economic conditions, and other pertinent conditions.

JB Clothing Corporation’s fiscal year end is August 31.
JB Clothing is a development stage women’s fashion design manufacturer located in Las Vegas, Nevada. The company’s initial clothing line consists of the use of a denim and spandex combination to create fashion designs that are unique to the fashion industry. The use of denim and spandex in our designs has positioned the Company where there is limited competition at the present time. We plan to stay on the cutting edge of the constantly changing active/leisure market and create a reputation with the consumer of providing only the most unique and desirable designs. This market dictates that new styles and designs be introduced on a regular basis.
Our initial design is a rear cotton spandex stretch panel denim short that utilizes both denim and spandex in the construction. This current design will be marketed under the brand name “H.I.T. (Hot, Innovative, Trends) the Streets”. Because of its’ versatility, this garment has the stylish design to attract the 15 - 20 year old female market as well as the active comfort to appeal to the fitness industry, it stands alone in the current marketplace.
Current Management is comprised of Rick Plote, CEO and President. Mr. Plote has over 15 years of experience in bringing small and development stage companies to successful operations. His leadership experience includes serving as an officer and director on several privately held companies. Mr. Plote is an outdoor enthusiast and avid fitness aficionado. Mr. Plote distributes part of his time towards the everyday operations and forward movement of the corporation. Mr. Plote has identified various contractors that have expressed an interest in working with him to further the business of the Company. One contractor in particular brings over 18 years of industry experience in active/leisure design, manufacturing, and distribution.
Acknowledging the inherent risks involved in fashion design, we will assess the need for any patents or trademarks on a continuing basis to protect our main design(s). Once the process is initiated, designs are initially protected under the Patent Pending Process provision while completing the full patenting process. This protection will cover the United States, initially, also giving first priority to the European Community.
The original thought behind the design/concept was to target the bodybuilding sector. As Mr. Plote has nurtured his original design, so has the marketing potential and crossover to the active/leisure market. The current design incorporates the use of denim (as the front panel of the short) and cotton spandex (the rear panel of the short). Utilization of these two time-tested popular mediums gives JB Clothing versatility in marketing no other company is currently experiencing.
Immediate goals include the development of a full line of this innovative active/leisure wear comprised of shorts, tops, Tees, and hats. Using creative marketing strategies sales can potentially reach local and foreign markets on an extensive scale. JB Clothing was the first company to combine denim with cotton spandex and the newest “H.I.T. the Streets” designs incorporate the most popular details into one garment. It has the potential to achieve all marketing expectations. Aggressive plans are to develop the “H.I.T. Series” to include H.I.T. the Beach, (cutting edge swimwear designs currently on the design board), H.I.T. the Gym (newly designed workout wear with bold color combinations) and an exciting new women’s sleepwear line “H.I.T. the Sheets”
Clearly defined goals, both short and long term, will be an intricate part of the daily decision making process within the organization. It is with these defined goals in mind that allows JB Clothing to feel confident with the many decisions required to maintain progressive working concepts. Within the next 12 months JB Clothing plans to have all current design board projects patterned, prototyped, and manufacturing requirements completed for wholesale and direct markets.
Long term, JB Clothing has adopted a basic outline by which future goals will be established. As certain milestones are achieved at existing levels, new areas of design and production will be added. These new areas translate into the introduction of unisex designs and then the transition into men’s fashions. As a part of JB Clothing’s progressive attitude, evidenced by its designs, JB Clothing will always be striving to stay ahead in this increasingly competitive market using new and innovative designs. JB Clothing’s intentions are to portray itself as an innovative leader in the active/leisure sector.
Industry and Trend Analysis
Denim is a $15.8 billion industry with low margins and soaring profits. The market for high-end designer denim has ballooned since 7 For All Mankind first hit the scene in 2000 with its pioneering pants. In 2006, jeans sales totaled $15.8 billion, up from $15.2 billion a year earlier and $14 billion in 2004, according to market research firm NPD Group Inc.
With prices now ranging from $150 to $250 for a pair of high-end jeans it's no wonder that new brands are emerging all the time, each trying to distinguish itself with different trims, washes, construction and - especially - stitching on the back pockets. As long as customers continue to want the next, best, latest jeans without much resistance to higher prices, the denim garment market will continue to provide opportunity for smaller independent manufacturers trying to acquire market share.
There is no doubt as to the popularity of denim evidenced by the success of Levi Strauss, a company whose profits are primarily based on denim products. Other companies such as Guess, Rock & Republic, True Religion, Paige, Citizens of Humanity, Antik, AG Adriano Goldschmied, and Calvin Klein have also enjoyed recent dramatic success attributed to denim popularity.
However, JB Clothing does not stop with denim. It incorporates all popular dimensions of active/leisure wear. Cotton spandex has also gained in popularity inside the active/leisure market. Additionally, with the advance of the “fitness craze” the workout wear market has become increasingly lucrative. Crossover usage between workout wear and active/leisure wear has also become a standard in today’s progressive fashion markets. The comfort of cotton and the form-fitting look of spandex have been combined to create a look that is highly accepted in today’s fashion world.
Delineation of the Market Area and Identification of Target Markets
Allowing for error of ± 2% in population studies compiled to date, there are 570 million teen aged women in the developed countries JB Clothing could potentially affect with its marketing. If aggressive marketing were to affect only 0.5%, that would translate into an active customer base of approximately 3 million teen aged women. We plan for wholesale profit margins ranging from $4.00 to $8.00 per garment and double that with direct retail. With the introduction of an 8-piece garment line into the fashion market, sales possibilities multiply with the ability of the consumer to choose its style preference within our line. Because of the novelty of the designs and subsequent patent protections, a substantial market share may be obtained.
Fashion industry marketing seems to have only one worldwide boundary, the demarcation between developed and undeveloped countries. The planned market areas will include North America, South America, Europe, Australia, and Asia.
| 1. | Young Women Aged 15 to 21 : This is the main target sales demographic to be exploited by JB Clothing Corp. These young girls are pre-budget age and tend to be spontaneous wave buyers. Their purchases are predicated on what is being bought by their friends and little attention is given to cost especially within the $40.00 - $70.00 pricing range. Most of JB Clothing fashions will be priced within that range. |
| 2. | College Women : The vast number of college girls within the main demographic. With the introduction of garments in school colors, traditional school support can be realized. Through the versatile use of the denim and spandex panels, each representing one team color, the finished garment becomes an emotional purchase. |
| 3. | Fitness Advocates : Because the garment is not only uniquely stylish, but also very functional and practical for exercise, the loyal demands of the fitness market can be met. This is a very lucrative sector as the fitness industry has experienced tremendous growth over the past 10 years with no apparent slowing in sight. |
| 4. | Beach Wear : Utilizing the fact that the garment is extremely form fitting, it can be worn as beach attire for activities that happen along the waters’ edge, to include roller-blading, bike riding, as well as jogging and walking. |
| 5. | Motorcyclists : with the constantly growing popularity of street motorcycling as a hobby, combined with the versatility of JB Clothing garments, a preliminary offering will be made to provide exclusive garments in Harley Davidson colors. This offering would give Harley Davidson sole use of the “Black and Orange” combination to coincide with Harley’s trademark. |
JB Clothing will employ three (3) major marketing strategies in an effort to gain market share in the active/leisure market. Online Marketing via the Internet, Outside Commissioned sales force, and print media adds. These strategies are listed in order of budget requirement to allow JB Clothing the ability to use revenues gained from the most cost effective method of marketing (online via internet) to fund the more expensive but valuable method of marketing (commission sales) and subsequently using revenues from both of the previous to fund the most expensive and very effective form of marketing and product branding (print media).
Online Marketing
Americans spent more online on clothing in 2006 than they did on computer hardware and software for the first time in history, according to the first part of “The State of Retailing Online 2007,” the tenth annual Shop.org study conducted by Forrester Research, which surveyed 170 retailers.
The report found the apparel, accessories and footwear category reached $18.3 billion in 2006 and is expected to hit $22.1 billion in 2007, when 10 percent of all clothing sales are expected to occur online, in part because of liberal shipping policies and new technologies that allow consumers to better “see” what they’re buying
Given the above statistic along with the relative ease and cost effectiveness in creating an online marketing presence, JB Clothing feels that once the garments have been produced, it can start generating revenues with comparatively little cash outlay. Through the online tools offered by companies like Google, E-Bay, and Craig’s List, JB Clothing will be able to reach a global audience with the same capital as used to be necessary to reach a very local limited market.
Commissioned Sales Force
Once revenues are generated from online sales and a full line of products have been prototyped, developed, and produced, JB Clothing’s plan is to implement sales via an outside commissioned sales force. The only costs to the company is the creation of samples for each and every sales person to have as well as print media to properly promote all of the products. With the introduction of a full fashion line JB Clothing plans to be represent in all major fashion marts located in Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, and Dallas. All formal representation will be done on a commission basis. With available investment capital, it will be possible to supply all major distributors with the necessary samples for proper displaying.
Print Media
In order to properly brand the JB Clothing products and extensive print media campaign will have to be utilized. The pitfall to this method of marketing and branding is the relative high cost when compared to online marketing and commissioned sales. Although online sales growth statistics are overwhelmingly positive, strong competitors in the apparel industry still rely on traditional print media for product marketing and more importantly, product branding. Because of the high cost involved in this medium, JB Clothing realizes that it will need to generate increased revenues to be able to compete in this medium. Advertising statistics show that a consumer generally needs to see a product 4 – 6 times prior to actively participating in a purchase. Most rate cards for monthly publications are designed for the advertiser to purchase 6 consecutive months of advertising space to be effective in achieving its marketing/branding goal.
Media advertising will be monitored closely and handled as efficiently as possible. With magazine advertising costs mentioned above, publications will be carefully selected. Joint advertising campaigns will be encouraged between JB Clothing and larger distributors such as department stores. Joint campaigns are a viable way to stretch the advertising dollar. Markets intended to be covered in our monthly media effort will include sports, motorcycle, beach, and casual wear worlds. With the associated costs, photography and models, a six month print media campaign can be quite expensive for our Company at the present. JB Clothing has done the necessary due diligence on this marketing medium and plans to incorporate this in our next phase of operations.
12 Month Growth Strategy and Milestones
Our mission is to maximize shareholder value through expanding the scope of operations and evaluating and cultivating new and alternative revenue generating opportunities. The Company is committed to development of new and innovative products. While a strategic and wisely executed marketing campaign is key to expanding our wholesale and retail customer base; providing new, cutting-edge, innovative products will ensure a solid operation built for long-term success.

At the present we do not have any patents or trademarks.
Acknowledging the inherent risks involved in fashion design, we will assess the need for any patents or trademarks on a continuing basis to protect our main design(s). Once the process is initiated, designs are initially protected under the Patent Pending Process provision while completing the full patenting process. This protection will cover the United States, initially, also giving first priority to the European Community.
Need for any Government Approval of Products or Services

MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
No public market currently exists for shares of our common stock. Following completion of this offering, we intend to apply to have our common stock listed for quotation on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board.
PENNY STOCK RULES
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the Nasdaq system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system).
A purchaser is purchasing penny stock which limits the ability to sell the stock. The shares offered by this prospectus constitute penny stock under the Securities and Exchange Act. The shares will remain penny stocks for the foreseeable future. The classification of penny stock makes it more difficult for a broker-dealer to sell the stock into a secondary market, which makes it more difficult for a purchaser to liquidate his/her investment. Any broker-dealer engaged by the purchaser for the purpose of selling his or her shares in us will be subject to Rules 15g-1 through 15g-10 of the Securities and Exchange Act. Rather than creating a need to comply with those rules, some broker-dealers will refuse to attempt to sell penny stock.
The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document, which:
- | Contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stock in both Public offerings and secondary trading; |
- | Contains a description of the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation of such duties or other requirements of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended; |
- | Contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including “bid” and “ask” price for the penny stock and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; |
- | Contains a toll-free number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; |
- | Defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading penny stocks; and |
- | Contains such other information and is in such form (including language, type, size and format) as the Securities and Exchange Commission shall require by rule or regulation. |
- | The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, to the customer: |
- | The bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; |
- | The compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; |
- | The number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and |
- | Monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. |
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written acknowledgement of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements will have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock because it will be subject to these penny stock rules. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling their securities.
REGULATION M
Our officer and director, who will offer and sell the Shares, is aware that he is required to comply with the provisions of Regulation M promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. With certain exceptions, Regulation M precludes the officers and directors, sales agents, any broker-dealer or other person who participate in the distribution of shares in this offering from bidding for or purchasing, or attempting to induce any person to bid for or purchase any security which is the subject of the distribution until the entire distribution is complete.
REPORTS
We are subject to certain reporting requirements and will furnish annual financial reports to our stockholders, certified by our independent accountants, and will furnish un-audited quarterly financial reports in our quarterly reports filed electronically with the SEC. All reports and information filed by us can be found at the SEC website, www.sec.gov.
STOCK TRANSFER AGENT
We currently do not have a stock transfer agent. JB Clothing Corporation has identified an agent to retain that will facilitate the processing of the certificates upon closing of the offering.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of JB Clothing Corporation (A Development Stage Company) as of September 30, 2008, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows from inception on September 24, 2008 through September 30, 2008. 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 audits.
We conduct our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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 audits provide 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 JB Clothing Corporation (A Development Stage Company) as of September 30, 2008, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows from inception on September 24, 2008 through September 30, 2008, 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 1 to the financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $5,325, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in the understanding of the financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of management. 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.
Nature of business and organization
JB Clothing Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 24, 2008. The Company’s principal business objective is offering active/leisure fashion design clothing. The Company plans to offer a full line of active/leisure wear including tops, shorts, T-shirts, and hats. Initial efforts have focused on finalizing our initial line of designer jeans and shorts for women. JB Clothing’s long-term goal is to develop unisex clothing followed by the transition into men’s fashions. The Company’s operations have been limited to general administrative operations and are considered a development stage company in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7.
Management of Company
The Company filed its articles of incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State on September 24, 2008, indicating Rich Plote as the incorporator. The company filed its initial list of officers and directors with the Nevada Secretary of State on September 30, 2008, indicating its President as Rick Plote.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company incurred net losses of approximately $5,300 from the period of September 24, 2008 (Date of Inception) through September 30, 2008 and has not commenced its operations, rather, still in the development stages, raising substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company will seek additional sources of capital through the issuance of debt or equity financing, but there can be no assurance the Company will be successful in accomplishing its objectives.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on additional sources of capital and the success of the Company’s plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company is subject to uncertainty of future events, economic, environmental and political factors and changes in the Company's business environment; therefore, actual results could differ from these estimates. Accordingly, accounting estimates used in the preparation of the Company's financial statements will change as new events occur, more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as the Company's operating environment changes. Changes are made in estimates as circumstances warrant. Such changes in estimates and refinement of estimation methodologies are reflected in the statements.
Summary of accounting policies
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include interest bearing and non-interest bearing bank deposits, money market accounts, and short-term instruments with a liquidation provision of three month or less.
Note 1. Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – continued
Summary of accounting policies -continued
Revenue recognition
The Company has no revenues to date from its operations. Once revenues are generated, management will establish a revenue recognition policy.
Advertising costs
Advertising costs are generally expensed as incurred and are included in selling and marketing expenses in the accompanying statement of operations.
As of September 30, 2008, there was no advertising costs incurred.
Fair value of financial instruments
The Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Statement 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, requires the determination of fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities. The estimated fair values of financial instruments were determined by management using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. The carrying amounts of financial instruments including cash and advance from shareholder approximate their fair value because of their short maturities.
Income taxes
The Company accounts for its income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
Net loss per common share
The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share (SFAS 128) and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98 (SAB 98). Under the provisions of SFAS 128 and SAB 98, basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted net loss per share gives effect to common stock equivalents; however, potential common shares are excluded if their effect is antidilutive.
Comprehensive income
The Company accounts for comprehensive income (loss) in accordance with SFAS No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive income" which requires comprehensive income (loss) and its components to be reported when a company has items of comprehensive income (loss). Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income (loss) plus other comprehensive income (loss). There are no differences or reconciling items between net income and comprehensive income for the period ended September 30, 2008.
Concentration of credit risk
A significant amount of the Company’s assets and resources are dependent on the financial support of the shareholders, should the shareholders determine to no longer finance the operations of the company, it may be unlikely for the company to continue.

New accounting pronouncements
The FASB issued FASB Statement No. 163, Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts. This new standard clarifies how FASB Statement No. 60, Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises [Missing Graphic Reference], applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts issued by insurance enterprises, including the recognition and measurement of premium revenue and claim liabilities. It also requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. Statement 163 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and all interim periods within those fiscal years, except for disclosures about the insurance enterprise’s risk-management activities, which are effective the first period (including interim periods) beginning after May 23, 2008. Except for the required disclosures, earlier application is not permitted. The Company does not expect that adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations, or liquidity and does not currently believe it will have a material impact on our financial statements.
The FASB has issued FASB Statement No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Statement 162 is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for nongovernmental entities. Statement 162 is effective November 15, 2008. The Company does not expect that adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations, or liquidity and does not currently believe it will have a material impact on our financial statements.
On March 19, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - an Amendment of FASB Statement 133. Statement 161 enhances required disclosures regarding derivatives and hedging activities, including enhanced disclosures regarding how: (a) an entity uses derivative instruments; (b) derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities; and (c) derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Statement 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Early application is encouraged. The Company does not expect that adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations, or liquidity and does not currently believe it will have a material impact on our financial statements.
On December 4, 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 141 (Revised 2007), Business Combinations. Statement 141R will significantly change the accounting for business combinations. Under Statement 141R, an acquiring entity will be required to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value with limited exceptions. Statement 141R also includes a substantial number of new disclosure requirements. Statement 141 applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. Accordingly, a calendar year-end company is required to record and disclose business combinations following existing GAAP until January 1, 2009. The Company does not expect that adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations, or liquidity and does not currently believe it will have a material impact on our financial statements.
Note 1. Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – continued
Summary of accounting policies –continued
On December 4, 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - An Amendment of ARB No. 51. Statement 160 establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Specifically, this statement requires the recognition of a noncontrolling interest (minority interest) as equity in the consolidated financial statements and separate from the parent's equity. The amount of net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement. Statement 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Like Statement 141R discussed above, earlier adoption is prohibited. The Company does not expect that adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations, or liquidity and does not currently believe it will have a material impact on our financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits companies to elect to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value and establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The provisions of SFAS 159 become effective as of the beginning of the Company’s 2009 fiscal year. Management is currently evaluating the impact that SFAS 159 will have on the Company’s financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans. SFAS No. 158 improves financial reporting by requiring an employer to recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its balance sheets. Konami adopted the recognition and disclosure provision of SFAS No. 158 effective March 31, 2007. SFAS No. 158 also requires that the defined benefit plan assets and obligations be measured as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end balance sheet for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The Company does not expect the adoption of the measurement provisions of SFAS No. 158 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
Note 2. Stockholders’ deficit
The Company's articles of incorporation provide for the authorization of seventy million (70,000,000) shares of common stock and five million (5,000,000) shares of preferred stock with par values of $0.001. Common stock holders have all the rights and obligations that normally pertain to stockholders of Nevada corporations. As of September 30, 2008 the Company had 10,000,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. The Company has not issued any shares of preferred stock.
On September 24, 2008 the Company issued 5,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.001 par value to Rick Plote, the Company’s president and shareholder for services provided valued at $5,000.
On September 24, 2008 the Company issued 5,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.001 par value to Rick Plote, the Company’s president and shareholder for capital investment totaling $5,000.
Note 3. Related party transactions

The Company issued 5,000,000 shares of common stock to its president/ shareholder for equity investment valued at $5,000.
Advance from president/ shareholder was $500 as of September 30, 2008.
Note 4. Income tax
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial statement purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax liabilities and assets as of September 30, 2008 are as follows:
Deferred tax assets: | | | |
Net operating loss | | $ | 5,325 | |
Income tax rate | | | 34 | % |
| | | 1,810 | |
Less valuation allowance | | | (1,810 | ) |
| | $ | - | |
Through September 30, 2008, a valuation allowance has been recorded to offset the deferred tax assets, including those related to the net operating losses. During the period ended September 30, 2008, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that it would not realize its deferred tax assets and a valuation allowance was recorded. At September 30, 2008, the Company had approximately $5,300 of federal and state net operating losses. The net operating loss carryforwards, if not utilized will begin to expire in 2027.
Reconciliations of the U.S. federal statutory rate to the actual tax rate follows for the period ended September 30, 2008 is as follows:
U.S. federal statutory income tax rate | | | 34.0 | % |
State tax - net of federal benefit | | | 0.0 | % |
| | | 34.0 | % |
Increase in valuation allowance | | | (34.0 | %) |
Effective tax | | | 0.0 | % |
Note 3. Property and equipment
As of September 30, 2008 the Company does not own any property and/or equipment. The Company currently is using one of the shareholders primary residence as office space. The company does not pay rent for the use of the space.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has a negative current ratio and Company has incurred an accumulated deficit of $5,325 for the period from inception to September 30, 2008. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The following table provides selected financial data about our company for the period from the date of inception through September 30, 2008. For detailed financial information, see the financial statements included in this prospectus.
Balance Sheet Data:
Cash | | $ | 5,175 | |
Total assets | | $ | 5,175 | |
Total liabilities | | $ | 500 | |
Shareholders’ equity | | $ | 4,675 | |
Other than the shares offered by this prospectus, no other source of capital has been identified or sought.

Plan of Operation
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has a negative current ratio and Company has incurred an accumulated deficit of $5,325 for the period from Inception to September 30, 2008. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The future of the Company is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations from the development of its planned business. Management has plans to seek additional capital through a private placement and public offering of its common stock. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might arise from this uncertainty.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.
Proposed Milestones to Implement Business Operations
The following milestones are estimates only. The working capital requirements and the projected milestones are approximations only and subject to adjustment based on costs and needs. Our 12 month budget is based on minimum operations which will be completely funded by the $40,000 raised through this offering. If we begin to generate profits we will increase our marketing and sales activity accordingly. We estimate sales to begin in the third quarter following closing of the offering. Because our business is driven by actual sales of garments, our revenue requirements will be reviewed and adjusted based on those actual sales. The costs associated with operating as a public company are included in our budget. Management will be responsible for the preparation of the required documents to keep the costs to a minimum. We plan to complete our milestones as follows:
0- 3 MONTHS
Management will concentrate on the completion of the Registration Statement and finish the garment designs currently proposed. We estimate this will cost approximately $2,000 and have budget this cost in the Wages/Contractor line item in the Use of Proceeds. The Company will also start working on creating the patterns and prototypes. JB Clothing estimates this will cost approximately $2,000 and this amount is budgeted in the Product Development line item in the Use of Proceeds. JB Clothing also plans to explore online marketing options and interview photographers and models. The Company does not anticipate any fees associated with these duties and if any costs do arise they will come from the Working Capital line item in the Use of Proceeds.
4-6 MONTHS
JB Clothing has secured the web domain www.jbclothingcorp.com and plans on developing our Online Marketing Website at an initial cost of approximately $1,750 and is budgeted in the Sales and Marketing line item of the Use of Proceeds. During this timeframe, the Company plans to hire a photographer, determine a photo shoot layout, hire a model and prepare garments for a photo shoot. The Company estimates this will cost approximately $1,750 and is budgeted in the Sales and Marketing line item. The Company will continue design work on the “HIT the BEACH” clothing line. We have budgeted $2,000 from Wages/Contractor line item to address this item. The Company plans to start negotiations for an online merchant account during this timeframe.
7-9 MONTHS
Purchase garments for sale and promotional distribution efforts we have budgeted at a cost of approximately $7,000. This cost is budgeted in the Product Development line item of the Use of Proceeds. We plan to finish the website “look and feel” design with full e-commerce and add the content of the photo shoot. The website will integrate a “shopping cart” for online sales and we will determine online marketing venues such as Google, E-Bay and other vertical market venues. The Company estimates it will cost a maximum of approximately $5,000 for this project and this budgeted in the Sales and Marketing line item of the Use of Proceeds.
10-12 MONTHS
Analyze online marketing efforts and make necessary changes for increasing sales. The Company plans to continue to develop and expand the “HIT the BEACH” swimwear clothing line. The Company has allocated $1,500 from the Sales and Marketing budget and $2,000 from the Wages/Contractor budget to address the plans listed. At this timeframe or sooner, the Company plans to prepare a detailed two year marketing plan incorporating a commissioned sales force.
Note: The Company planned the milestones based on quarters following the closing of the offering. Any line item amounts not expended completely, as detailed in the Use of Proceeds, shall be held in reserve as working capital and subject to reallocation to other line item expenditures as required for ongoing operations.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. The statements were prepared following generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America consistently applied. The Company has elected an August 31, year end.

The Company has adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement Number 128, “Earnings per Share” (“EPS”) which requires presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. In the accompanying financial statements, basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income/loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. There are no dilutive shares outstanding.
No significant realized exchange gains or losses were recorded from inception (September 24, 2008) to September 30, 2008.
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks, money market funds and certificates of term deposits with maturities of less than three months from inception, which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which, in the opinion of management, are subject to an insignificant risk of loss in value. The Company had $5,175 in cash and cash equivalent at September 30, 2008.
| D. | USE OF ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Deferred income taxes are reported for timing differences between items of income or expense reported in the financial statements and those reported for income tax purposes in accordance with SFAS Number 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires the use of the asset/liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes and tax benefits are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and for tax loss and credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company provides for deferred taxes for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carry-forwards when realization is more likely than not.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flow.
CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FISCAL DISCLOSURE
None.

FUTURE SALES BY EXISTING STOCKHOLDERS
A total of 10,000,000 shares have been issued to the existing stockholder, all of which are held by our sole officer and director and are restricted securities, as that term is defined in Rule 144 of the Rules and Regulations of the SEC promulgated under the Act. Under Rule 144, such shares can be publicly sold, subject to volume restrictions and certain restrictions on the manner of sale, commencing one year after their acquisition. Any sale of shares held by the existing stockholder (after applicable restrictions expire) and/or the sale of shares purchased in this offering (which would be immediately resalable after the offering), may have a depressive effect on the price of our common stock in any market that may develop, of which there can be no assurance.

Pursuant to the Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws 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. In certain cases, we may advance expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding. To the extent that the officer or director is successful on the merits in any such proceeding as to which such person 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.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions above, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by one of our directors, officers, or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and we will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Under Rule 415 of the Securities Act, we are registering securities for an offering to be made on a continuous or delayed basis in the future. The registration statement pertains only to securities (a) the offering of which will be commenced promptly, will be made on a continuous basis and may continue for a period in excess of 30 days from the date of initial effectiveness and (b) are registered in an amount which, at the time the registration statement becomes effective, is reasonably expected to be offered and sold within two years from the initial effective date of the registration.

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in the volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of the Registration Fee” table in the effective Registration Statement; and
