We are a development stage company and were incorporated in the State of Florida on September 21, 2009, as a for-profit company, and an established fiscal year end of August 31. We intend to design our woman’s line of jeans branded as “Obscene Brand Jeans” internally and enter into outsourcing agreements for the manufacturing, marketing, selling and distributing agreements with independent agents, each of whom is to be granted exclusive rights to market and sell “Obscene Brand Jeans” in its respective territory. We intend to include a line of complimentary t-shirts, jackets and sweatshirts to accent the base of our intended collection.
The product line is intended to cater women who generally shop for high end, boutique or specialized clothing lines. We intend to market our product line for the United States and Italy. We anticipate that the design and testing of “Obscene Brand” jeans will take up to 9 months. Once the jeans are designed and tested, we can move onto engaging companies to manufacture, distribute and market our products. We plan to structure our outsourcing agreements to protect our proprietary designs and ensure efficient production and sales of our products. We anticipate that we will enter into manufacturing agreements with independent contractors based on a per unit price of production. We also anticipate that outsourcing agreements relating to marketing, selling and distributing will be entered into on an independent contractor basis and that each contractor will be provided with a geographical area in which they will have exclusive rights to market, sell and distribute our products. We expect that these contracts will earn a commission on the sales of our products on a per unit basis.
We intend to support our independent sales agents and distributors through attendance at all of the major trade and fashion industry exhibitions, advertising in trade publications and by intending to market and sell our products via our website “obscenejeans.com”. Our intended initial strategy is to limit distribution to high-end boutique and department store retailers, building a reputation for producing fresh and innovative quality design products with on-time delivery. We do not currently plan to launch an aggressive advertising campaign through television, radio or print media. We intend to develop and market our high fashion jeans for sale in the United States and Italy to upscale retailers.
On November 10, 2011, the Company formed Obscene Interactive, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary. Obscene Interactive was established to identify emerging trends and companies within the social media space for the purpose of acquisitions, joint ventures and global licensing of technology platforms and algorithms. As of the date of this filing, Obscene Interactive has no assets, liabilities or operations.
We have not generated any revenues to date and our activities have been limited to developing our business plan. We will not have the necessary capital to develop our Business Plan until we are able to secure additional financing.
There can be no assurance that such financing will be available on suitable terms.
We have no revenues; have incurred losses since inception, have no operations, have been issued a going concern opinion from our auditors and rely upon the sale of our securities to fund operations.
As of November 30, 2011, we had $5,258 cash on hand. We believe that this cash will satisfy our operating requirements for approximately one month.
Plan of Operations
We believe we do not have adequate funds to satisfy our working capital requirements for the next twelve months. We will need to raise additional capital to continue our operations. During the next 18 months, we intend to continue implementing our business and marketing plan. We believe we must raise an additional $500,000 to pay for expenses associated with our development over the next 18 months.
We intend to pursue capital through public or private financing as well as borrowings and other sources, such as our officer and director, in order to finance our businesses activities. We cannot guarantee that additional funding will be available on favorable terms, if at all. If adequate funds are not available, then our ability to continue our operations may be significantly hindered.
We have not yet begun the development of any of our anticipated products and even if we do secure adequate financing, there can be no assurance that our products will be accepted by the marketplace and that we will be able to generate revenues.
Our management does not plan to hire any employees at this time. Our sole officer and director will be responsible for implementing our business plan. We intend to hire independent consultants and sales representatives to carry out sales, marketing and distribution activities.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We incurred a net loss of $394,367 for the three months ended November 30, 2011, and had a working capital deficit of $602,430 as of November 30, 2011. We do not anticipate having positive net income in the immediate future. Net cash used by operations for the three months ended November 30, 2011 was $120,556. These conditions create an uncertainty as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
We continue to rely on advances to fund operating shortfalls and do not foresee a change in this situation in the immediate future. There can be no assurance that we will continue to have such advances available. We will not be able to continue operations without them. We are pursuing alternate sources of financing, but there is no assurance that additional capital will be available to the Company when needed or on acceptable terms.
We have not generated any revenues from our operations. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including the financial risks associated with the limited capital resources currently available to us for the implementation of our business strategies. To become profitable and competitive, we must develop the business and marketing plan and execute the plan. Our management will attempt to secure financing through various means including borrowing and investment from institutions and private individuals.
Since inception, the majority of our time has been spent refining our business plan and collection design sketches.

Results of Operations for the three months ended November 30, 2011 compared to the three months ended November 30, 2010
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses increased in the three months ended November 30, 2011 as compared to the three months ended November 30, 2010 from $14,268 to $390,226 due to increased expenses related to developing the Obscene Jeans brand and increased legal and professional expenses related to exploring new business opportunities.
Loss from Operations
The increase in our operating loss for the three months ended November 30, 2011 as compared to the comparable period of 2010 from $14,268 to $390,226 is due to the increase in general and administrative expenses described above.
Net Income (Loss)
We recognized a net loss of $394,367 for the three months ended November 30, 2011 as compared to a loss of $14,268 for the same period of 2010. The change in net loss is primarily attributable to the change in operating loss described above.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of the date of this filing, we have yet to generate any revenues from our business operations.
We anticipate needing a minimum of $150,000 for Phase One and an additional $350,000 for Phase Two, totaling $500,000 in order to effectively execute our business plan over the next eighteen months. Currently available cash is not sufficient to allow us to commence full execution of our business plan. Our business expansion will require significant capital resources that may be funded through the issuance of common stock or of notes payable or other debt arrangements that may affect our debt structure. Despite our current financial status, we believe that we may be able to issue notes payable or debt instruments in order to start executing our business plan. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise money in this fashion and have not entered into any agreements that would obligate a third party to provide us with capital.
For the three months ended November 30, 2011, we spent approximately $390,000 on general operating expenses. We raised the cash amounts to be used in these activities from the sale of common stock and through non-interest bearing advances.
As of November 30, 2011, we had $5,258 of cash on hand.
As of the date of this filing, the current funds available to the Company may not be sufficient to continue maintaining its reporting status with the SEC. Management believes that if the Company cannot maintain its reporting status with the SEC, it will have to cease all business activity. As such, any investment previously made would be lost in its entirety.
The Company currently has no external sources of liquidity such as arrangements with credit institutions or off-balance sheet arrangements that will have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition or immediate access to capital.
The Company intends to seek additional financing through means such as borrowings from institutions or private individuals. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to keep costs from being more than these estimated amounts or that the Company will be able to raise such funds. The Company may not be able to obtain additional capital or generate sufficient revenues to fund our operations. If we are unsuccessful at raising sufficient funds, for whatever reason, to fund our operations, the Company may be forced to seek a buyer for our business or another entity with which we could create a joint venture. If all of these alternatives fail, we expect that the Company will be required to seek protection from creditors under applicable bankruptcy laws.
Our independent auditor has expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and believes that our ability is dependent on our ability to implement our business plan, raise capital and generate revenues. See Note 2 of our financial statements.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
Not applicable.
| |
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of and for the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. The controls were determined to be ineffective due to the lack of segregation of duties. Currently, management contracts with an outside CPA to perform certain crucial accounting and financial reporting activities. However, the Company will be unable to remediate this weakness until it has received additional funding to hire additional administrative personnel.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
No change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting occurred during the three months ended November 30, 2011, that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
As of the date of this Quarterly Report, neither we nor any of our officers or directors is involved in any litigation either as plaintiffs or defendants. As of this date, there is not any threatened or pending litigation against us or any of our officers or directors.
