INFORMATION STATEMENT
PURSUANT TO SECTION 14
OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934
AND REGULATION 14C AND SCHEDULE 14C THEREUNDER
Dear Stockholders:
We are writing to advise you of certain events which have occurred with respect to IGIA, Inc. (“IGIA”, “we”, “us” or “our”), a Delaware corporation (formerly known as DIVA Entertainment, Inc.).
On June 11, 2004, IGIA acquired of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Tactica International, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Tactica”) in exchange for shares of common stock and convertible preferred stock of IGIA pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of June 11, 2004 (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), by and among IGIA, Tactica and the shareholders of Tactica. In accordance with the Securities Purchase Agreement, (i) Tactica exchanged all of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock for shares of common stock and convertible preferred stock of IGIA, (ii) effective at the closing, the former shareholders of Tactica control IGIA and (iii) effective at the closing, Tactica became a wholly owned subsidiary of IGIA (all of the foregoing is hereinafter referred to as the “Transaction”). Subject to certain post-closing covenants, the Transaction closed as of June 11, 2004. Prior to the Transaction, Tactica was a privately-held company. As a part of the Transaction, the Company changed its name to IGIA, Inc. from Diva Entertainment, Inc. and increased the number of our authorized shares of common stock from 20,000,000 to 100,000,000 shares. At the Closing of the Transaction, IGIA issued the following shares of our common stock to the shareholders of Tactica and certain parties designated by the former shareholders of Tactica:
| 1) | 12,400,000 newly-issued shares of our common stock of which 1,750,000 shares were issued to and subsequently returned by our Managing Financial Advisor as a result of their failing to satisfy the contractual requirement that IGIA close on at least $7,500,000 in proceeds from a private placement of our securities within a specified 45-day period, and |
| 2) | 261,000 newly-issued shares of IGIA’s newly-designated Series E Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, which will automatically convert into 26,100,000 newly-issued shares of IGIA’s common stock twenty days after this Information Statement is mailed to IGIA’s stockholders. |
Pursuant to the Transaction, a change of control of IGIA occurred with the former stockholders of Tactica acquiring approximately 76% of the outstanding voting power of IGIA.
Our purpose in entering into the Transaction, changing our name to IGIA, Inc., increasing our authorized common stock and authorizing the Series E preferred stock is to allow us to comply with the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement. We believe that the Transaction will increase the total value of the corporation to our investors.
On November 18, 2004, IGIA’s Board of Directors and the holders of a majority of IGIA’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock authorized an additional increase in the number of our authorized shares of common stock from 100,000,000 to 500,000,000 shares.
No action is required by you. The accompanying Information Statement is furnished only to inform our shareholders of the action described above in accordance with Rule 14c-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. This Information Statement is being mailed to you on or about December 15, 2004.
WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY.
THE TRANSACTION RESULTED IN A CHANGE IN CONTROL IN IGIA AND AN ASSUMPTION OF TACTICA’S ASSETS, LIABILITIES AND OPERATIONS. SEE “FINANCIAL AND OTHER INFORMATION LEGAL PROCEEDINGS” FOR INFORMATION CONCERNING THE BANKRUPTCY PETITION FILED BY TACTICA.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE COMPANY’S CONTROLLING STOCKHOLDERS VOTED TO CHANGE THE NAME OF THE COMPANY TO IGIA, INC. AND TO APPROVE THE INCREASE IN AUTHORIZED COMMON STOCK. THE NUMBER OF VOTES HELD BY THE CONTROLLING STOCKHOLDERS WERE SUFFICIENT TO SATISFY THE STOCKHOLDER VOTE REQUIREMENT FOR THESE ACTIONS AND NO ADDITIONAL VOTES ARE NEEDED TO APPROVE THESE TRANSACTIONS.

GENERAL
We are writing to advise you of certain events which have occurred with respect to IGIA, Inc. (“IGIA” “we”, “us”, “our”or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation (formerly known as DIVA Entertainment, Inc.).
On June 11, 2004, IGIA acquired of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Tactica International, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Tactica”) in exchange for shares of common stock and convertible preferred stock of IGIA pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of June 11, 2004 (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), by and among IGIA, Tactica and the shareholders of Tactica. In accordance with the Securities Purchase Agreement, (i) Tactica exchanged all of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock for shares of common stock and convertible preferred stock of IGIA, (ii) effective at the closing, the former shareholders of Tactica control
1
IGIA and (iii) effective at the closing, Tactica became a wholly owned subsidiary of IGIA (all of the foregoing is hereinafter referred to as the “Transaction”). Subject to certain post-closing covenants, including the mailing of this Information Statement, the Transaction closed as of June 11, 2004. Prior to the Transaction, Tactica was a privately-held company. At the Closing of the Transaction, IGIA issued the following shares of our common stock to the shareholders of Tactica and certain parties designated by the former shareholders of Tactica:
| 1) | 12,400,000 newly-issued shares of our common stock of which 1,750,000 shares were issued to and subsequently returned by our Managing Financial Advisor as a result of their failing to satisfy the contractual requirement that IGIA close on at least $7,500,000 in proceeds from a private placement of our securities within a specified 45-day period, and |
| 2) | 261,000 newly-issued shares of IGIA’s newly-designated Series E Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, which will automatically convert into 26,100,000 newly-issued shares of IGIA’s common stock twenty days after this Information Statement is mailed to IGIA’s stockholders. |
Pursuant to the Transaction, a change of control of IGIA occurred with the former shareholders of Tactica acquiring approximately 76% of the outstanding voting power of IGIA.
The following events also occurred in connection with the Transaction:
1) By action of IGIA’s Board of Directors and the holders of a majority of IGIA’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock, IGIA filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation which changed the Company’s name to IGIA, Inc. and by action of IGIA’s Board of Directors and the holders of a majority of IGIA’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock, IGIA filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation which increased the number of IGIA’s authorized shares of common stock from 20,000,000 to 100,000,000 shares (the “100 million share increase”). The Board of Directors of IGIA also authorized the filing of a Certificate of Designation with respect to a newly authorized Series E Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock. This action will enable IGIA to comply with the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement.
Certain holders of IGIA’s Series A, Series B and Series C Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock converted their stock into an aggregate of 2,093,340 shares of IGIA’s common stock. Following such conversions, the only shares of IGIA’s preferred stock which remained outstanding were 100 shares of Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock. Post-closing, IGIA converted the remaining shares of Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock into 4,600,000 shares of its common stock.
2) A holder of 4,225,000 shares of IGIA’s common stock agreed with IGIA to exchange 3,725,000 of such shares for all of the issued and outstanding shares of Diva Entertainment, Inc., a Florida corporation (“Diva Florida”), the sole subsidiary of IGIA prior to the Transaction. Prior to such exchange, Diva Florida declared a dividend to IGIA (which was Diva Florida’s sole shareholder) comprising all of the issued and outstanding shares of Diva Florida’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Prima EastWest Model Management, Inc., a California corporation (“Prima”).
3) IGIA declared a dividend to our stockholders of record on May 28, 2004, such dividend comprising all of its shares of Prima. IGIA’s Board of Directors declared that 90% of the Prima shares be issued pro-rata to IGIA’s preferred stockholders as of the record date and that 10% of the Prima shares be issued pro-rata to IGIA’s common stockholders as of the record date.
4) 1,209,000 shares of IGIA’s common stock were tendered by the holders thereof for cancellation.

5) Immediately prior to the Closing of the Transaction (the “Closing”), Peter C. Zachariou, President and a director, and David Lean, acting Secretary and a director, resigned from such positions and were replaced by the following persons in the positions listed opposite their names:
| | |
Avi Sivan | | Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Director |
Prem Ramchandani | | President, Treasurer and Director |
Paul Greenfield | | Secretary and General Counsel |
Kurt Streams | | Assistant Secretary and Chief Financial Officer |
The Transaction is expected to be treated as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes. A copy of the Securities Purchase Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit A. A copy of the audited financial statements of Tactica for the periods ended February 29, 2004 and February 28, 2003 and 2002, together with a copy of the unaudited financial statements of Tactica for the period ended August 31,2004, are attached hereto as Exhibits F, E and G, respectively. The foregoing description of the Transaction does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Securities Purchase Agreement, which is incorporated herein by reference.
The Transaction, name change, increase in authorized common stock and authorization of Series E Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock was approved on May 27, 2004, by the unanimous approval of our Board of Directors. The change of name from DIVA Entertainment, Inc. to IGIA, Inc. and the increase in authorized common stock of the Company was approved by the written consent of the majority of the common stockholders of the Company on May 27, 2004, in accordance with the by-laws of the Company and relevant sections of the Delaware General Corporation Law.
The Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State on June 8, 2004 in connection with the 100 million share increase. A copy of the Company’s Certificate of Amendment to Certificate of Incorporation is attached hereto as Exhibit B-1. The Company also filed a Certificate of Designation for its Series E Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock with the Delaware Secretary of State on June 8, 2004. Other than the change of name and increase in the number of authorized shares, the Transaction did not require stockholder approval. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we set forth in this Information Statement a detailed description of the Transaction for informational purposes only. While the Transaction had immediate effect as of June 11, 2004 and the Company’s change of name became effective for all purposes on June 8, 2004, the 100 million share increase in the Company’s authorized capital stock will only take effect twenty days after this Information Statement is first mailed to our stockholders.
In addition, on November 18, 2004, IGIA’s Board of Directors and the holders of a majority of IGIA’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock authorized an additional increase in the number of our authorized shares of common stock from 100,000,000 to 500,000,000 shares (the “500 million share increase”). A Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation of IGIA, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-2, with respect to the 500 million share increase will be filed with the Delaware Secretary of State and become effective twenty days after this Information Statement is first mailed to our stockholders.
PURPOSE OF INCREASE IN AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
Our Board of Directors believes the Transaction will enhance the total value of the Company to our investors. The 100 million share increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock is a condition to the completion of the Transaction.
With respect to the 500 million share increase, IGIA anticipates that it may engage in the sale of its equity securities for capital raising purposes and engage in future acquisitions in exchange for shares of common stock of IGIA. However, the current fair market value of IGIA’s common stock is currently at approximately $0.03 per share. Therefore, our Board of Directors believes it necessary to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 100,000,000 to 500,000,000 to allow IGIA to engage in such transactions.

PROCEDURE FOR APPROVAL OF ACTION; VOTE REQUIRED
The Delaware General Corporation Law provides that any action which may be taken at a meeting of the stockholders may be taken without a meeting and without prior notice, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of such number of shares as would be required to take such action at a meeting of stockholders if all the stockholders were present and voted.
On December 10, 2004, the record date for determination of the stockholders entitled to receive this Information Statement, there were 17,913,140 shares of common stock outstanding. The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders. The affirmative vote of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock was required to approve a change in the name of the Company to IGIA, Inc. and to increase the authorized shares of common stock of the Company.
Our Board of Directors, by unanimous written consent, adopted resolutions approving a change in the name of the Company to IGIA, Inc., an increase in the authorized shares of common stock of the Company and the filing of the Certificate of Amendment to Certificate of Incorporation with respect thereto with the Secretary of State of Delaware on June 8, 2004. By action by written consent, dated May 27, 2004, Havilland, Ltd., which owned 4,225,000 shares, or approximately 76.8% of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock at that time, approved a change in the name of the Company to IGIA, Inc. and the 100 million share increase in authorized shares of common stock and the filing of the Certificate of Amendment to Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State.
On November 18, 2004, our Board of Directors, by unanimous written consent, and our stockholders by written consent of stockholders holding a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of IGIA, approved an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares from 100,000,000 to 500,000,000 shares of common stock of IGIA.
EFFECTIVE DATE OF INCREASE IN AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
The 100 million share increase in the authorized number of common shares as detailed in the Certificate of Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation attached hereto as Exhibit B-1 will become effective twenty days after this Information Statement is first mailed to our stockholders.
The 500 million share increase in the authorized number of common shares as detailed in the form of Certificate of Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation attached hereto as Exhibit B-2 will be filed with the Delaware Secretary of State and become effective twenty days after this Information is first mailed to our stockholders.

The Companies
IGIA, Inc. is a corporation incorporated in the state of Delaware. Prior to June 11, 2004, IGIA, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Diva Florida, operated modeling agencies located in New York and Los Angeles. IGIA’s revenues were generated through the receipt of fees for placement and booking of models and other talent with its clients who comprise major advertising and consumer product companies. This business was not significantly profitable and revenues were either flat or declining. IGIA decided to focus on evaluating other opportunities that could enhance stockholder value, including the acquisition of a product or technology, or pursuing a merger or acquisition of another business entity with long-term growth potential. Prior to the Transaction, IGIA, in a transaction with Havilland, Ltd., exchanged all of its shares of Diva Florida for 3,725,000 shares of IGIA common stock. Also prior to the Closing, IGIA declared a dividend to its common and preferred stockholders comprising all of the shares of Prima, which was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Diva Florida. IGIA’s shares are currently listed for quotation on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol “IGAI” and the closing price of its shares of common stock on December 7, 2004 was $0.04 per share.
Tactica was a privately-held designer, developer, and worldwide marketer of personal and home care items. Tactica, through its registered proprietary logo “As Seen On TV”, is a leader in innovative personal care products under the IGIA® brand. Tactica also holds an exclusive license to market an innovative line of floor care products under the Singer® name. Tactica markets and sells these products through TV infomercials, mass-market retailers having more than 40,000 stores as well as specialty retailers, catalogs, international marketing organizations and online.

On June 11, 2004, IGIA acquired of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Tactica in exchange for shares of common stock and convertible preferred stock of IGIA pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement. In accordance with the Securities Purchase Agreement, (i) Tactica exchanged all of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock for shares of common stock and convertible preferred stock of IGIA, (ii) effective at the Closing, the former shareholders of Tactica control IGIA and (iii) effective at the Closing, Tactica became a wholly owned subsidiary of IGIA (all of the foregoing is hereinafter referred to as the “Transaction”). Subject to certain post-closing covenants, the Transaction closed as of June 11, 2004. Prior to the Transaction, Tactica was a privately-held company. At the Closing of the Transaction, IGIA issued the following shares of its stock to the shareholders of Tactica and certain parties designated by the former shareholders of Tactica:
| 1) | 12,400,000 newly-issued shares of its common stock of which 1,750,000 shares were issued to and subsequently returned by our Managing Financial Advisor as a result of their failing to satisfy the contractual requirement that IGIA close on at least $7,500,000 in proceeds from a private placement of our securities within a specified 45-day period, and |
| 2) | 261,000 newly-issued shares of IGIA’s newly-designated Series E Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, which will automatically convert into 26,100,000 newly-issued shares of IGIA’s common stock twenty days after this Information Statement is mailed to IGIA’s stockholders. |
Pursuant to the Transaction, a change of control of IGIA occurred with the former shareholders of Tactica acquiring approximately 76% of the outstanding voting power of IGIA.

The following events also occurred in connection with the Transaction:
1) By action of IGIA’s Board of Directors, IGIA filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation which changed the Company’s name to IGIA, Inc. and by action of IGIA’s Board of Directors and the holders of a majority of IGIA’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock, IGIA filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation which increased the number of IGIA’s authorized shares of common stock from 20,000,000 to 100,000,000 shares. The Board of Directors of IGIA also authorized the filing of a Certificate of Designation with respect to a newly authorized Series E Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock. This action will enable IGIA to comply with the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement.
Certain holders of IGIA’s Series A, Series B and Series C Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock converted their stock into an aggregate of 2,093,340 shares of IGIA’s common stock. Following such conversions, the only shares of IGIA’s preferred stock which remained outstanding were 100 shares of Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock. Post-closing, IGIA converted the remaining shares of Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock to 4,600,000 shares of its common stock.
2) A holder of 4,225,000 shares of IGIA’s common stock agreed with IGIA to exchange 3,725,000 of such shares for all of the issued and outstanding shares of Diva Florida, the sole subsidiary of IGIA prior to the Transaction. Prior to such exchange, Diva Florida declared a dividend to IGIA (which was Diva Florida’s sole shareholder) comprising all of the issued and outstanding shares of Diva Florida’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Prima.
3) IGIA declared a dividend to its stockholders of record on May 28, 2004, such dividend comprising all of its shares of Prima. IGIA’s Board of Directors declared that 90% of the Prima shares be issued pro-rata to IGIA’s preferred stockholders as of the record date and that 10% of the Prima shares be issued pro-rata to IGIA’s common stockholders as of the record date.
4) 1,209,000 shares of IGIA’s common stock were tendered by the holders thereof for cancellation.
5) Immediately prior to the closing of the Transaction, Peter C. Zachariou, President and a director, and David Lean, acting Secretary and a director, resigned from such positions and were replaced by the following persons in the positions listed opposite their names:
| | |
Avi Sivan | | Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Director |
Prem Ramchandani | | President, Treasurer and Director |
Paul Greenfield | | Secretary and General Counsel |
Kurt Streams | | Assistant Secretary and Chief Financial Officer |
The Transaction is expected to be treated as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes. A copy of the Securities Purchase Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit A. A copy of the audited financial statements of Tactica for the periods ended February 29, 2004 and February 28, 2003 and 2002, together with a copy of the unaudited financial statements of Tactica for the six month period ended August 31, 2004, are attached hereto as Exhibits F, E and G, respectively. The foregoing description of the Transaction does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Securities Purchase Agreement, which is incorporated herein by reference.

The Transaction, name change, 100 million share increase in authorized common stock and authorization of Series E Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock was approved on May 27, 2004, by the unanimous approval of our Board of Directors. The change of name of the Company to IGIA, Inc. and 100 million share increase in authorized common stock of the Company was approved by the written consent of the majority of the common stockholders of the Company on May 27, 2004, in accordance with the by-laws of the Company and relevant sections of the Delaware General Corporation Law.
The Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State on June 8, 2004 with respect to its name change and 100 million share increase in authorized shares of common stock of IGIA. A copy of the Company’s Certificate of Amendment to Certificate of Incorporation is attached hereto as Exhibit B-1. The Company also filed a Certificate of Designation for its Series E Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock with the Delaware Secretary of State on June 8, 2004. Other than the change of name and increase in the number of authorized shares, the Transaction did not require stockholder approval. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we set forth in this Information Statement a detailed description of the Transaction for informational purposes only. While the Transaction had immediate effect as of June 11, 2004 and the name change became effective for all purposes on June 8, 2004, the increase in the Company’s authorized capital stock will only take effect twenty days after this Information Statement is first mailed to our stockholders.
As a result of the Transaction, Tactica became a wholly-owned subsidiary of IGIA and the shareholders of Tactica became stockholders of IGIA. The stockholders of IGIA prior to the Transaction (including common stock issued as a result of the exchange of certain shares of IGIA Preferred Stock) own approximately 16% of the issued and outstanding shares of IGIA common stock (including common stock to be issued on conversion of the Series E Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock issued in connection with the Transaction), based on 45,763,140 shares of IGIA common stock outstanding after the Transaction (including common stock to be issued on conversion of the Series E Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock issued in connection with the Transaction).
Preexisting Relationships
IGIA and Tactica did not have any preexisting relationship prior to entering into the Securities Purchase Agreement. To the best of our knowledge, none of IGIA’s stockholders held shares of Tactica, nor did any of the shareholders of Tactica hold shares of IGIA.
IGIA’s Reasons for the Transaction
IGIA’s Board of Directors considered various factors in approving the Transaction and the Securities Purchase Agreement, including:
| • | its inability to expand its current level of operations; |
| • | prospects for the future; |
| • | the quality and experience of Tactica’s management; |
| • | Tactica’s potential for growth or expansion; |
8
| • | Tactica’s profit potential; and |
| • | an anticipated increase in stockholder value as a result of the Transaction. |
IGIA’s Board of Directors considered various factors, but primarily that IGIA’s management has not been able to expand IGIA’s operations to significant profitability. In considering the Transaction with Tactica, IGIA’s Board of Directors anticipated that this lack of significant profitability was likely to continue for the foreseeable future. Given those circumstances, IGIA’s Board of Directors decided that the best course of action for IGIA and its stockholders was to enter into and conclude the Transaction with Tactica, after which IGIA’s Board of Directors and management would resign. In agreeing to the Transaction, IGIA’s Board of Directors hoped that by relinquishing control to Tactica’s management and adopting Tactica’s assets and operations value would be added to IGIA and the interests of its stockholders. IGIA’s Board of Directors reached this conclusion after analyzing Tactica’s operations, technical assets, intellectual property and managerial resources and believes that acquiring Tactica’s potential for profitable operations by means of the Transaction was the best opportunity to increase value to IGIA’s stockholders. IGIA’s Board of Directors did not request a fairness opinion in connection with the Transaction.
Tactica’s Reasons for the Transaction
Tactica’s board of directors considered various factors in approving the Transaction and Securities Purchase Agreement, including:
| • | the increased market liquidity expected to result from exchanging stock in a private company for publicly traded securities of IGIA; |
| • | the ability to use registered securities to make acquisitions of assets or businesses; |
| • | increased visibility in the financial community; |
| • | enhanced access to the capital markets; and |
| • | perceived credibility and enhanced corporate image of being a publicly traded company. |
Tactica’s board of directors did not request a fairness opinion in connection with the Transaction.
500 Million Share Increase
IGIA may engage in the sale of its equity securities for capital raising purposes and future acquisitions in exchange for shares of common stock of IGIA. However, the current fair market value of IGIA’s common stock is currently at approximately $0.03 per share. Therefore, on November 18, 2004, by written consent, our Board of Directors and stockholders of IGIA holding a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of IGIA, approved an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares available for issuance from 100,000,000 to 500,000,000 shares of common stock of IGIA to allow IGIA to engage in such transactions.
Risk Factors
The Transaction entails several risks, including:
| • | Assumption of Tactica’s plan of operation, which is anticipated to require substantial additional funds to fully implement. Tactica’s management believes that substantial additional funds will be required to implement its business plan. However, there can be no assurance that management will be successful in raising such additional capital. |
| • | IGIA’s stockholders were diluted by the shares issued as part of the Transaction and may be diluted by future issuances of shares to satisfy working capital needs. We issued 36,750,000 shares of our common stock (after giving effect to the conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock) as part of the Transaction. |
9
| • | The market price of our common stock may decline as a result of the Transaction if the integration of the IGIA and Tactica businesses is unsuccessful. |
| • | The former shareholders of Tactica will own approximately 76% of our common stock following completion of the Transaction, which will limit the ability of other stockholders to influence corporate matters. |
Risks Related to the Acquired Business
The Chapter 11 Reorganization Could Have a Material Negative Effect on Tactica’s Business, Financial Condition and Results of Operations
On October 21, 2004, Tactica, which accounts for all of the current operations of the Company, filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. IGIA is not seeking bankruptcy protection. Tactica remains in possession of its assets and the management of its property as a debtor in possession under Sections 1107 and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code. On October 25, 2004, the Bankruptcy Court approved, on an interim basis, a Stipulation and Consent Order (the “Stipulation”) with Innotrac Corporation (“Innotrac”).
The Stipulation provides for a mechanism which enables Tactica to have its inventory shipped and sold to its customers. Tactica shall pay Innotrac 55% to 60% of the sales proceeds promptly upon receipt of customer payments and Tactica will retain the remainder for its working capital. The proceeds paid to Innotrac shall reduce the agreed upon $2,753,281 of debt owed by Tactica to Innotrac, plus possibly pre-petition interest and post-petition interest, fees, cost, charges and expenses including attorney’s fees. Tactica’s business, financial condition and results of operations are materially effected by its ability to function under the Stipulation and under bankruptcy protection.
The Sales Of Our Products Have Been Very Volatile and our Results Of Operations Could Fluctuate Materially.
The sales of certain of our products rely on television advertising and direct response marketing campaigns. In addition, some of our products have short life cycles. This leads to volatility in our revenues and results of operations. For example, our net sales for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2004 decreased by approximately 50.0% as compared with the fiscal year ended February 28, 2003 and we incurred a $9,014,554 operating loss for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2004. This was primarily caused by substantially reduced sales. In addition, as part of our April 2004 purchase agreement with Helen of Troy, or HoT, HoT acquired the right to market and sell Epil-Stop, one of our most popular products, in the United States and assumed the liabilities associated with United States sales of the Epil-Stop product. We therefore expect that our sales could continue to decline or be volatile and as a result, that our financial position could be adversely affected.
We Need To Raise Additional Capital Or Debt Funding To Sustain Operations.
We require the proceeds from the sale of equity or debt securities and/or additional capital to sustain operations and to increase sales. In addition, to the extent that we may have a working capital deficit and cannot offset the deficit from profitable sales, we may have to raise capital to repay the deficit and provide more working capital to permit revenue growth. We cannot assure you that financing from external sources or related parties will be available if needed or, if available, on favorable terms. Our inability to obtain adequate financing will result in the need to reduce or curtail certain of our operations.
Changes In Foreign Policy, International Law Or The Internal Laws Of The Countries Where Our Manufacturers Are Located Could Have A Material Negative Effect On Our Business, Financial Condition And Results Of Operations.
All of our products are manufactured by unaffiliated companies, some of which are in the Far East. Risks associated with such foreign manufacturing include: changing international political relations; changes in laws, including tax laws, regulations and treaties; changes in labor laws, regulations, and policies; changes in customs duties and other trade barriers; changes in shipping costs; currency exchange fluctuations; local political unrest; and the availability and cost of raw materials and merchandise. To date, these factors have not significantly affected our production capability. However, any change that impairs our ability to obtain products from such manufacturers, or to obtain products at marketable rates, would have a material negative effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
10
Third Party Manufacturers, Could Favor Our Competitors.
One of our major competitors is HoT, formerly Tactica International, Inc.’s principal stockholder and a company currently unaffiliated with us. Certain of our third-party manufacturers supply product for both us and our competitors, including HoT. If a manufacturer were to provide more favorable treatment to our competitors than to us, such favorable treatment could result in our having to charge more for our products than our competitors do for the same or similar products. This would result in our being unable to successfully compete in the marketplace and could have a material adverse effect on our operations.
Our Business Will Suffer If We Do Not Develop And Competitively Market Products That Appeal To Consumers.
We sell products in the “As Seen on TV” market, the personal care products market, the household appliance market and the floor care products market. These markets are very competitive. Maintaining and gaining market share depends heavily upon price, quality, brand name recognition, patents, innovative designs of new products and replacement models, and marketing and distribution approaches. We compete with domestic and international companies, some of which have substantially greater financial and other resources than we have. We believe that our ability to produce reliable products that incorporate developments in technology and to satisfy consumer tastes with respect to style and design, as well as our ability to market a broad offering of products in each applicable category at competitive prices, are keys to our future success.
Our Business, Financial Condition And Results Of Operations Could Be Materially Adversely Affected If We Are Unable To Sell Products Under Our Licensed Trademarks.
A significant portion of our sales revenue is derived from sales of products under licensed trademarks. As the percentage of our sales of such products increases, we will become increasingly dependent upon the continued use of such trademarks. On April 29, 2004, HoT acquired the Epil-Stop brand from us and granted us a three-year license to market Epil-Stop products outside of North America, Central America, South America and the Caribbean. Actions taken by licensors, such as Singer and HoT and other third parties, with respect to products we license from them could greatly diminish the value of any of our licensed trademarks. If we are unable to develop and sell products under these licensed trademarks or the value of the trademarks were diminished by the licensor or third parties, the effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely effected.
Many Of Our Competitors Are Larger And Have Greater Financial And Other Resources Than We Do And Those Advantages Could Make It Difficult For Us To Compete With Them.
Many of our current and potential competitors may have substantial competitive advantages relative to us, including:
longer operating histories;
significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources;
greater brand name recognition;
larger existing customer bases; and
more popular products.
11
These competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements and devote greater resources to develop, promote and sell their products or services than we can.
We No Longer Sell Epil-Stop Products In The United States.
We no longer have the right to sell Epil-Stop, which was one of our most popular products, in the United States. Due to the loss of the right to sell Epil-Stop in the United States, certain retailers may choose to decrease their shelf space for our products. If we are unable to retain shelf space at United States retailers the overall demand for our products should decrease it could have a material adverse affect on our operating results.
We are Dependent On Our Management Team And The Loss Of Any Key Member Of This Team May Prevent Us From Implementing Our Business Plan In A Timely Manner.
Our success depends largely upon the continued services of our executive officers and other key personnel, particularly Avi Sivan, our Chief Executive Officer, and Prem Ramchandani, our President. We have entered into employment agreements with Mr. Sivan and Mr. Ramchandani. We do not maintain key person life insurance policies on any of our employees. The loss of Mr. Sivan or Mr. Ramchandani services would be expected to have a material adverse effect on our operations.
Our Business, Financial Condition And Results Of Operations Will Suffer If We Do Not Accurately Forecast Customers’ Demands.
Because of our reliance on manufacturers in the Far East, our production lead times are relatively long. Therefore, we must commit to production well in advance of customer orders. If we fail to forecast consumer demand accurately we may encounter difficulties in filling customer orders or in liquidating excess inventories, or may find that customers are canceling orders or returning products. Our relatively long production lead time may increase the amount of inventory and the cost of storing inventory. Additionally, changes in retailer inventory management strategies could make inventory management more difficult. Any of these results could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our Products And Business Practices May Be Subject To Review By Third Party Regulators And Consumer Affairs Monitors And Actions Resulting From Such Reviews, Including But Not Limited To Cease And Desist Orders, Fines And Recalls.
Although our products are generally not regulated by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), we have in the past and on occasion may in the future sell products that are subject to FDA regulations. Our advertising is subject to review by the National Advertising Council (NAC) and our advertisements could be and have been subject to NAC recommendations for modification. The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and state and local consumer affairs bodies oversee various aspects of our sales and marketing activities and customer handling processes. If any of these agencies, or other agencies that have a right to regulate our products, engage in reviews of our products or marketing procedures we may be subject to various enforcement actions from such agencies. If such reviews take place, as they have in the past, our executives may be forced to spend time on the regulatory proceedings as opposed to running our business. In addition to fines, adverse actions from an agency could result in our being unable to market certain products the way we would like or at all, or prevent us from selling certain products entirely.
12
We Purchase Essential Services And Products From Third Parties, Which, If Interrupted, Could Have A Material Impact On Our Ability To Operate.
We currently outsource significant portions of our business functions, including, but not limited to, warehousing, customer service, inbound call center functions and payment processing for all direct response sales, customer order fulfillment, and product returns processing and shipping. From time to time we have experienced interruptions in these essential services for varying periods of time and future interruptions can and will occur. If such interruptions occur for extended periods of time, our operations may be materially adversely affected. Many of our products are produced in South China. Should we experience any interruption or interference with the operations of the third party suppliers of goods and services to Tactica, we might experience a shortage of inventory. This type of shortage could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, and for cash flow.
Our Direct Response Sales Operation Is Dependent On Having Adequate Credit Card Activity Processing Capacity With The Major Credit Card Companies And A Credit Card Processor.
A third party credit card processor regulates our daily credit card sales order volume and sets limits as to the maximum daily sales volume it will process. In addition, credit card companies, such as Visa and MasterCard, and credit card processors typically maintain a record of the level of customer requests to have charges for our products reversed (chargebacks). The credit card companies and processors may fine us for “high chargeback levels”, modify our daily sales volume limit, or even discontinue doing business with us. The direct response business is known for relatively high chargeback levels and we have experienced periods of higher than accepted levels of chargeback activity that has led to fines and disruptions in credit card processing of customer orders. We endeavor to maintain reasonable business practices and customer satisfaction, which, in part, contribute to lower levels of chargeback activity. Nevertheless, excess chargeback activity could result in our being unable to have customers pay us using credit cards.
Our Future Acquisitions, If Any, And New Products May Not Be Successful, Which Could Have A Material Adverse Effect On Our Financial Condition And Results Of Operations.
We have in the past, and may in the future, decide to acquire new product lines and businesses. The acquisition of a business or of the rights to market specific products or use specific product names involves a significant financial commitment. In the case of an acquisition, such commitments are usually in the form of either cash or stock consideration. In the case of a new license, such commitments could take the form of license fees, prepaid royalties, and future minimum royalty and advertising payments. While our strategy is to acquire businesses and to develop products that will contribute positively to earnings, there is no guarantee that all or any of our acquisitions will be successful. Anticipated synergies may not materialize, cost savings may be less than expected, sales of products may not meet expectations and acquired businesses may carry unexpected liabilities. Each of these factors could result in a newly acquired business or product line having a material negative impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
13
A controlling interest in IGIA was recently acquired by former shareholders of our operating subsidiary, Tactica International, Inc., and we have a limited operating history upon which you can base an investment decision.
On June 11, 2004, we completed a share exchange with the former stockholders of Tactica International, Inc., resulting in Tactica’s former stockholders owning approximately 76% of our common stock on a fully diluted basis. Therefore, we have a limited operating history upon which you can make an investment decision, or upon which we can accurately forecast future sales. You should, therefore, consider us subject to the business risks associated with a new business. The likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the expenses, difficulties and delays frequently encountered in connection with the formation and initial operations of a new business.

The Board of Directors of IGIA does not have standing audit, compensation or nominating committees. The functions of the audit, compensation and nominating committees are currently performed by the entire Board of Directors, none of the members of which are independent. The current members of the Board of Directors were appointed on June 11, 2004. Since that time there have been no board meetings. The prior Board of Directors met two times between July 1, 2003 to June 10, 2004.
Since the Board of Directors currently consists of two members, it does not believe that establishing a separate nominating committee is necessary for effective governance. When additional members of the Board of Directors are appointed or elected, IGIA will consider creating a nominating committee. The Board of Directors does not currently have a formal director nomination process. The Board of Directors will consider director candidates nominated by security holders. Security holders should submit any recommendations to the Board of Directors by mailing such recommendations to the Board of Directors at IGIA’s offices. The Board of Directors has not yet received recommendations for director nominees for director from security holders, has no minimum specific requirements as to a nominee, and does not have any specific process for identifying nominees, but the Board of Directors does not believe that it would evaluate a security holder nominee any differently than it would evaluate a nominee not nominated by a security holder.
The Board of Directors has not adopted a specific process with respect to security holder communications, but security holders wishing to communicate with the Board of Directors may do so by mailing such communications to the Board of Directors at IGIA’s offices.
The Board of Directors recommends that each of its members attends IGIA’s annual meeting. The current members of the Board of Directors were not members of the Board of Directors last year and, to the knowledge of the Board of Directors, IGIA did not have an annual meeting last year.
Section 16(A) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), requires IGIA’s directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than 10% of the IGIA’s common stock to file with the SEC reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of common stock and other equity securities of IGIA. Officers, directors and greater than 10% stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish IGIA with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file.
Based upon a review of Forms 3, 4 and 5 and other documents provided to the Company by those required to file such reports with the SEC, the Company believes that all directors, executive officers and 10% holders of the Company have complied with all Section 16(a) reporting requirements applicable to them with
15
respect to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 except that Avi Sivan, Prem Ramchandani, Kurt Streams, Paul Greenfield, Avraham Ovadia and Shai Bar - Lavi each filed a late Form 3 upon becoming an officer, director and/or 10% holder of IGIA in June 2004.
Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and
Management Following the Transaction
As of December 10, 2004, we have 44,070,540 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding (including 26,157,400 shares to be issued on conversion of the Series E Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock). Pursuant to the terms of the Transaction, we issued 36,750,000 shares of our common stock (including 26,100,000 shares to be issued on conversion of the Series E Redeemable Convertible Preferred stock) to Tactica’s shareholders and certain other persons designated by Tactica. The Transaction thus resulted in a change in control from our management to control by Tactica’s management and the assumption of Tactica’s operations and liabilities.
The following table sets forth information known to us with respect to the beneficial ownership of shares of our common stock (assuming conversion of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Series E Preferred Stock) as of December 10, 2004 and as adjusted to reflect the maximum number of shares of our common stock which may issued upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock by:
| • | Each person known by us to beneficially own 5% or more of our common stock, |
| • | Each of our executive officers and directors, and |
| • | All of our executive officers and directors as a group. |
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and includes voting and investment power. Under SEC rules, a person is deemed to be the beneficial owner of securities which may be acquired by such person upon the exercise of options and warrants or the conversion of convertible securities within 60 days from the date on which beneficial ownership is to be determined. Each beneficial owner’s percentage ownership is determined by dividing the number of shares beneficially owned by that person by the base number of outstanding shares, increased to reflect the beneficially-owned shares underlying options, warrants or other convertible securities included in that person’s holdings, but not those underlying shares held by any other person.
Except as otherwise indicated in the notes to the following table, we believe that all shares are beneficially owned, and investment and voting power is held by, the persons named as owners; and the address for each beneficial owner listed in the table, except where otherwise noted, is IGIA, Inc. 11 West 42nd Street, 7th Floor, New York, NY 10036.

Anticipated Operations Following the Transaction
Prior to the Transaction, Tactica (now IGIA’s wholly owned subsidiary) designed, developed and sold a full line of personal care and other consumer products in categories such as hair care, hair removal, dental care, skin care, sports and exercise, household, and kitchen. IGIA will continue Tactica’s business without substantial alteration. Tactica sells these products, primarily under the Igiá® and Singer® trademarks, to retailers and uses direct response marketing to sell such products directly to consumers. Some of the products developed and marketed by Tactica are trend-oriented personal care and comfort products.
We will continue to develop new products and enhance existing products in order to maintain and improve our position in the personal care and comfort product market. For example, during Tactica’s fiscal year ended February 29, 2004 we improved existing products by adapting new technologies to them. Examples include ionic hair care appliances and ceramic hair care appliances. Subject to available funds, we plan to extend our lines of Igía® and Singer products during the next twelve months.
During Tactica’s fiscal year ended February 29, 2004, we entered into an agreement with The Singer Company for use of the Singer brand name in a comprehensive line of floor care products.
You can learn more about our products at the following Internet addresses: www.igia.com and www.singervac.com.

Zachariou, President and a director, and David Lean, acting Secretary and a director, spent only part of their time on the business of the Company. IGIA reimbursed its directors for all expenses for meetings attendance or out of pocket expenses connected directly with their board participation prior to the Transaction.

Option Grants
During our fiscal year ended February 29, 2004, no stock options were granted to the named executive officers. As of the date hereof no options to purchase shares of our common stock are outstanding and we have no stock option, retirement, pension or profit sharing plan or program for the benefit of our directors, officers or other employees, although our Board of Directors may recommend one or more such programs for adoption in the future.
Director Compensation
Non-employee directors receive $1,000 for each meeting of the Board of Directors attended, as well as reimbursement of reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with the attendance of meetings of the Board of Directors.
Employment Agreements
IGIA has an employment agreement, dated as of April 29, 2004, with Avi Sivan. Pursuant to such employment agreement, Mr. Sivan is to serve as CEO of IGIA for a base compensation of at least $600,000 per year. The contract, which is for a five-year period, automatically extends by one day, every day, unless terminated earlier by IGIA or Mr. Sivan by written notice (“Non-renewal Notice”). Mr. Sivan is eligible for incentive compensation expressed as 10% of EBITDA for the fiscal year then ended. On July 1, 2004, Mr. Sivan’s employment agreement was amended such that, effective August 1, 2004, (i) Mr. Sivan will receive a base compensation of $490,000, (ii) Mr. Sivan is eligible for incentive compensation expressed as 8% of EBITDA for the fiscal year then ended, and (iii) Mr. Sivan’s incentive compensation is subject to a cap of $400,000 per year.
Additionally, he is entitled to participate in IGIA’s standard executive benefit program, including group health insurance; death and disability benefits provided for under IGIA’s applicable insurance policy. If after death or twenty-six weeks of continuous disability (“Disability”), Mr. Sivan’s employment agreement will be terminated, and he, or his estate will be entitled to severance pay, calculated as a one time multiple of his total average compensation over the preceding three years, in the event that a Non-renewal Notice has been given by IGIA
18
prior to his death or Disability, in lieu of the one times (1x) multiple, the multiple shall be the remaining number of years between the date of his death or Disability and the third (3rd) anniversary of the date of the Non-renewal Notice, but in no event less than one (1) year. Upon death, his estate will be entitled to any accrued benefits, not yet paid, including pro-rata incentive payments payable upon termination of employment for other than death, disability or cause are provided for as follows: If terminated by resignation for “good reason” or by IGIA other than for “cause” (as such terms are defined in the employment agreement) or a result of a Non-renewal Notice, Mr. Sivan will be entitled to receive all salary, benefits and incentive compensation for two years after the date of termination of employment and all stock options previously granted to Mr. Sivan will immediately vest. If Mr. Sivan’s employment is terminated for good reason due to a “change of control” (as such term is defined in the employment agreement), Mr. Sivan will be entitled to receive, within 30 days after providing notice of election to terminate his employment due to a change in control, a lump sum payment equal to the net present value of the sum of two times Mr. Sivan’s then current base salary plus two times the sum of Mr. Sivan’s highest annualized bonus compensation during the three year period prior to the change of control.
IGIA has an identical employment agreements and amendments thereto with Mr. Prem Ramchandani, pursuant to which Mr. Ramchandani is employed as President of Tactica.
IGIA has entered into agreements with Paul Greenfield and Kurt Streams pursuant to which each of them is entitled to a lumpsum payment equal to three months base salary upon the termination of such individual’s employment with the company.
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
Avraham Ovadia, a 22% stockholder, serves as the exclusive distributor of Tactica’s products in South Africa. During fiscal 2003, Tactica sold an immaterial amount of goods to Mr. Ovadia’s company. In the past Mr. Ovadia also has produced infomercials for Tactica.
Mr. Sivan and Mr. Ramchandani have an ownership interest in Prime Time Media, a company which has an accounts payable from IGIA in the amount of $455,734.
IGIA has an agreement with Brass Logistics, LLC, a company in which Messrs. Sivan and Ramchandani have an ownership interest, pursuant to which Brass Logistics will act as IGIA’s non-exclusive distributor of its Singer vacuum products and IGIA personal care products in the United States and Canada.
Currently, Tactica subleases office space in New York City. An affiliate of HoT has issued a $389,000 standby letter of credit to the lessor. The lessor has drawn funds from the standby letter of credit in satisfaction of rent not paid by Tactica. Tactica is seeking more suitable office space in New York City.
Anticipated Liquidity and Capital Resources Following the Transaction
As of August 31, 2004, the Company had a $4 million working capital deficit and negative net worth. As of February 29, 2004, Tactica had a working capital deficit in excess of $12 million and negative net worth of approximately $11 million. As a result of the April 29, 2004 transaction between Tactica, Helen of Troy, and the minority shareholders of Tactica, Tactica eliminated approximately $17 million in secured debt and improved its position to obtain additional financing. The June 11, 2004 reverse merger between Tactica and IGIA gave the Company access to public markets for financing and enabled Tactica to convert approximately $3.6 million of accounts payable into Series E Convertible Preferred Stock.
Despite the transaction with Helen of Troy, the Company has not yet been able to raise additional working capital. As a result of the foregoing factors, Tactica did not have a sufficient available source of working capital to satisfy a demand by Innotrac that Tactica immediately pay all amounts allegedly due to Innotrac and continue its normal operation of business. Tactica and Innotrac agreed upon the terms of a Stipulation which contemplated the filing of a bankruptcy petition that was subsequently made and approved on an interim basis by the Bankruptcy Court.
Management believes that the Stipulation and bankruptcy petition may create the opportunity to provide the company with funds to operate and to attract debtor in possession financing or an acquirer of Tactica’s business. IGIA plans to use the additional cash to increase revenues, which have been constrained, in part, due to limited available working capital needed to purchase order fulfillment services, product to fill customer orders and to run television advertising. Management believes that the additional funds would enable IGIA to promote direct sales of its Singer® line of floor care products in the second fiscal quarter of 2005 and launch sales through retail outlets thereafter. Management expects that increased sales and marketing activities would also enable IGIA to stimulate sales of its IGIÁ(R) product lines. By revitalizing sales and marketing activities, Tactica expects to improve its ability to bring to market new products, including products under its own brands and licensed products.
If the Company is unable to service it financial obligations as they become due, it will be required to adopt alternative strategies, which may include, but are not limited to, actions such as further reducing management and employee headcount and compensation, attempting to further restructure financial obligations and/or seeking a strategic merger, acquisition or a sale of assets. There can be no assurance that any of these strategies could be affected on satisfactory terms.

Tactica’s operating activities provided $1,105,000 of cash during fiscal 2004. In that same period, investing activities used $29,000 of cash for purchases of office equipment and financing activities used $1,185,000 to reduce the level of borrowings against a line of credit with HoT.
Tactica’s February 29, 2004 inventory balance of $10,590,000 was $598,000, or 5.3%, less than the February 28, 2003 level. We experienced a 50.0% decrease in our net sales for fiscal 2004 as compared to net sales for fiscal 2003. Sales of Tactica’s Epil-Stop® hair removal products, in which we had a substantial inventory position, were significantly lower in both fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2004, and as of April 2004, we no longer own the rights to sell the product in the United States. In addition, we held certain products in inventory in anticipation of sales generated by advertising; however, advertising campaigns were postponed, cancelled or scaled back due to insufficient available cash and credit with advertisers or lower response than anticipated.
Accounts payable and other accrued liabilities increased $8,752,000 or 106.9% from February 28, 2003 to February 29, 2004 as a result of less prompt payments to vendors and a significant increase in amounts paid to Tactica for goods that were subsequently returned to Tactica.
Capital and license expenditures totaled $29,000, $189,000 and $119,000 in fiscal 2004, fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2002, respectively.

Tactica leases office space in New York City. HoT has issued a $389,000 standby letter of credit to the lessor. The lessor may draw funds from the standby letter of credit if Tactica fails to pay its rent. Tactica has agreed to
20
reimburse HoT for funds drawn, if any, on the letter of credit. The standby letter of credit decreases to $195,000 on April 30, 2005 and expires on the same date as the related lease, February 27, 2006. As a result of the April 29, 2004 transaction whereby the management of Tactica purchased all of HoT’s shares of Tactica, IGIA will need to provide a replacement letter of credit or secure other arrangements with the lessor, no later than May 1, 2005.
We do not engage in any activities involving special purpose entities or off-balance sheet financing.

IGIA’s Plan of Operations
Sales and Marketing
Since inception in 1992, Tactica has established a worldwide market for its IGÍA® family of personal and skin care products, and its Epil-Stop® family of hair removal products the latter of which was sold to HoT in April
21
2004. Tactica utilizes a comprehensive and focused marketing and distribution program that includes widespread print and television advertising combined with global product placement in well known retail outlets worldwide, as well as through popular mail order catalogs, and directly through Tactica’s websites, primarily www.igia.com.
Tactica’s products are also sold through major retail chains such as Wal-Mart Stores, Walgreens, Rite-Aid, CVS and Eckerd Drug. No customer accounted for 10% or more of net sales during fiscal 2004.
Tactica advertises in print media such as Cosmopolitan, Glamour, Elle, Redbook, Time, US News and World Reports and Vogue. In addition, globally recognized mail order catalogs such as Hammacher Schlemmer, SkyMall, ABC, LTD and Publishers Clearing House also regularly feature Tactica’s Igiá® products. Tactica’s products are also periodically featured on home shopping channels such as QVC and Tactica infomercials are shown on national cable and broadcast television channels such as Lifetime Television and The Discovery Channel. Tactica markets its products internationally through distributors covering more than 100 countries worldwide.
Tactica has now initiated the process of establishing “inline” store placement agreements with retailers, assuring a steadier inventory flow to these retail outlets, and therefore a more stable and predictable revenue stream. Tactica’s expanded focus on distribution has thus far led to more than 45,000 retail outlets worldwide carrying Tactica’s products.
Tactica recently launched a new line of floor care products under the Singer brand. This acquisition of the licensing rights to the Singer name represents an important component of Tactica’s growth strategy.
Tactica’s U.S. sales comprised 85% of total net sales in fiscal 2004. Tactica markets its products internationally through distributors covering more than 100 countries worldwide.
Manufacturing and Distribution
Tactica contracts with unaffiliated manufacturers both within and outside the U.S. to manufacture Tactica’s products. Tactica’s products are shipped to warehouse facilities in Reno, Nevada and Brampton, Ontario for shipment to individuals or retail customers. Tactica also sometimes ships products from manufacturers directly to retailers. Tactica’s retail customers often seek to minimize their inventory levels and often demand that we fulfill their orders within relatively short time frames. Consequently, these inventory management practices often require us to carry substantial levels of inventory in order to meet our customers’ needs.
Most of Tactica’s products manufactured outside the countries in which they are sold are subject to import duties, which have the effect of increasing the amount Tactica pays to obtain such products.
License Agreements, Trademarks and Patents
In April 2003, Tactica entered into a license agreement with The Singer Company B.V. for use of the Singer brand name on its line of floor products sold exclusively through Tactica in the United States and Canada. The sales of Tactica’s Singer floor care products line depends materially upon the continued use of the Singer trademark. The term of Tactica’s license agreement with Singer terminates on December 31, 2004, unless sooner terminated; however, Tactica has the option to extend such license agreement for up to ten automatic one year periods, provided Tactica pays minimum royalties, meets minimum sales volumes, and makes minimum levels of advertising expenditures as provided in such agreement. Tactica has not yet achieved these minimums and may not achieve them due to a delay in scaling up related promotional activities. Only if Tactica obtains additional financing do we believe that Tactica can generate sufficient activity such that Singer will continue the agreement.
22
Pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 29, 2004, Tactica transferred ownership of the Epil-Stop brand to HoT in exchange for HoT’s equity ownership in Tactica, and HoT provided a royalty-free perpetual license to Tactica to use certain technologies. Tactica received a three-year license for the exclusive right to sell Epil-Stop products in all markets except the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Central and South America and the Caribbean. Tactica has certain future minimum royalty obligations that must be satisfied to retain the license.
Tactica has filed or obtained licenses for design and utility patents in the U.S. and several foreign countries. IGIA does not believe that the loss of any particular patent or patent license would have a materially adverse effect on its business. Tactica granted HoT a non-exclusive royalty free license to its United States patent, as well as corresponding patent applications, for the life of such licensed patents pursuant to the stock purchase agreement between HoT and Tactica.
Backlog
Tactica ships some of its products to direct response customers and provides these customers with estimated delivery dates at the time that it receives their respective orders. There was no significant backlog of orders in any of Tactica’s distribution channels at February 29, 2004.
Competition
Tactica sells products in the “As Seen on TV” market, the personal care products market including depilatories (hair removal products), the household appliance market and the floor care products market. These markets are very competitive. Maintaining and gaining market share depends heavily on product development and enhancement, pricing, quality, performance, packaging and availability, brand name recognition, patents, and marketing and distribution approaches. Tactica’s primary competitors in these markets include Thane International, Home Medics, Helen of Troy Limited or HoT, Salton, and Sally Hansen. Most of these competitors have significantly greater financial and other resources than Tactica does.
Regulation
Tactica’s products are generally not regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), however its products could be and have been subject to FDA regulations. National Advertising Council (NAC) has, from time to time, reviewed Tactica’s advertising and communicated recommended modifications to Tactica and the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC). In addition, the FTC, and state and local consumer affairs bodies oversee aspects of Tactica’s sales and marketing activities and customer handling processes. The ability of Tactica to sell its products can be and has been adversely affected by actions taken by the FDA, FTC, NAC, and state and local authorities and by future changes in regulations.
Tactica’s electrical products must meet the safety standards imposed in various national, state, local, and provincial jurisdictions. Tactica’s electrical products sold in the U.S. are designed, manufactured, and tested to meet the safety standards of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. or Electronic Testing Laboratories.
Employees
As of June 22, 2004, IGIA’s subsidiary Tactica employed 49 full-time employees in the U.S. and 1 in Canada, of which 17 are marketing and sales employees, 7 are distribution employees and 26 are administrative personnel. IGIA does not have any employees other than those employed by Tactica. None of Tactica’s employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement. Tactica has never experienced a work stoppage and Tactica believes that it has satisfactory working relations with Tactica’s employees.
23
Properties
IGIA’s subsidiary Tactica subleases approximately 21,051 square feet of office space from a non-affiliated subtenant, located at 11 West 42nd Street, 7th Floor, New York, New York 10036 at a rate of $64,907 per month. The sublease for the New York office space commenced on May 28, 2002 and expires February 27, 2006. Tactica also contracts with third party logistics companies for fulfillment services and the use of warehouse space in Reno, Nevada and Brampton, Ontario on standard terms. IGIA does not lease or own any property other than through Tactica.
Legal Proceedings
In the ordinary course of business, the Registrant may be involved in legal proceedings from time to time. Although occasional adverse decisions or settlements may occur, management believes that the final disposition of such matters will not have material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
On October 21, 2004, Tactica, which accounts for all of the current operations of the Company, filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. IGIA is not seeking bankruptcy protection. Tactica remains in possession of its assets and the management of its property as a debtor in possession under Sections 1107 and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code. On October 25, 2004, the Bankruptcy Court approved, on an interim basis, a Stipulation and Consent Order (the “Stipulation”) with Innotrac Corporation (“Innotrac”).
The Stipulation provides for a mechanism which enables Tactica to have its inventory shipped and sold to its customers. Tactica shall pay Innotrac 55% to 60% of the sales proceeds promptly upon receipt of customer payments and Tactica will retain the remainder for its working capital. The proceeds paid to Innotrac shall reduce the agreed upon $2,753,281 of debt owed by Tactica to Innotrac, plus possibly pre-petition interest and post-petition interest, fees, cost, charges and expenses including attorney’s fees. Tactica’s business, financial condition and results of operations are materially effected by its ability to function under the Stipulation and under bankruptcy protection.
Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants
On July 20, 2004, IGIA dismissed Paritz & Company P.A. (“Paritz”) as its principal independent auditors, and the Company engaged Russell Bedford Stefanou Mirchandani LLP as its certifying accountant for the fiscal year ending February 28, 2005. The decision to engage Russell Bedford Stefanou Mirchandani LLP was approved by the Board of Directors of the Company. The Company had not previously consulted Russell Bedford Stefanou Mirchandani LLP.
Paritz’s reports on the consolidated financial statements of the Company for fiscal years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 did not contain any adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles; however, the audit reports for the years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 contained an explanatory paragraph regarding the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. During fiscal years 2003 and 2002 and the subsequent interim period through July 20, 2004, there were no disagreements with Paritz regarding any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Paritz, would have caused Paritz to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its report.
Tactica Audited Financial Statements
The financial statements of Tactica for the years ended February 29, 2004 and February 28, 2003 and 2002 are attached hereto as Exhibits F and E, respectively. These financial statements have been audited by KPMG LLP, independent auditors. In addition, the unaudited financial statements of Tactica for the six months ended August 31, 2004 are attached hereto as Exhibit G.

Management’s Discussion And Analysis
Of Financial Condition And Results Of Operations
Overview
The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that are subject to significant risks and uncertainties about us, our current and planned products, our current and proposed marketing and sales, and our projected results of operations. There are several important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results and percentages and results anticipated by the forward-looking statements. The Company has sought to identify the most significant risks to its business, but cannot predict whether or to what extent any of such risks may be realized nor can there be any assurance that the Company has identified all possible risks that might arise.
Investors should carefully consider all of such risks before making an investment decision with respect to the Company’s stock. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company and notes thereto. This discussion should not be construed to imply that the results discussed herein will necessarily continue into the future, or that any conclusion reached herein will necessarily be indicative of actual operating results in the future. Such discussion represents only the best present assessment from our Management.
Information about us, including a description of our business, markets, properties, competition and historical financial information, is provided in summary form regarding our business and affairs. This information is not intended to be complete and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and other documents appended hereto or described herein.
History
IGIA was incorporated in the State of Delaware in December 2002 under the name Quasar Projects Company for the purpose of merging with or acquiring a company with operations and assets. From its inception through April 28, 1999, we generated nominal revenues and did not actively engage in business.
On April 28, 1999, we acquired Diva Entertainment, Inc., a Florida corporation, which was engaged in the business of operating and managing two wholly owned talent management companies: Prima Eastwest Model Management, Inc., a California corporation, and Que Management Inc., a New York corporation. At that time, we changed our name to Diva Entertainment, Inc. From April 28, 1999 through June 10, 2004, we were in the business of representing professional fashion models, commercial actors and theatrical actors.
On June 11, 2004, we entered into the Securities Purchase Agreement described above under the heading “Recent Developments,” pursuant to which we acquired our wholly owned subsidiary Tactica International, Inc. and sold our former subsidiary Diva Entertainment, Inc.
Since June 11, 2004, we have been in the business of the direct marketing and distribution of proprietary and branded personal care and home care products. We are no longer in the business of talent management.
General Background
IGIA, through its wholly owned operating subsidiary, Tactica International, Inc. (“Tactica”), is a leading direct marketer and distributor of proprietary and branded personal care and home care products. Tactica has successfully established a niche and growing position within the direct marketing industry, a market which the “Direct Marketing Association” expects to grow from $2 to $3 trillion dollars in annual sales within the next five years. Tactica also sells through major retail chains and mail order catalogs and on Tactica’s website.
Tactica is managed by an experienced, innovative and highly successful management team that has proven its ability to develop, launch, market and distribute new products through a carefully planned and coordinated campaign that assures widespread consumer awareness of the products, and easy access to a variety of purchasing channels. The management team is headed by Avi Sivan, Tactica’s founder and Chief Executive Officer, and Prem Ramchandani, Tactica’s President. They have been the driving force in making IGIA a player in the Direct Response Television (DRTV) industry. They spearheaded the launching of numerous unique, innovative products through a four-pronged marketing approach that includes print, TV, mail order and retail. Mr. Sivan is one of the pioneers of the industry and the creator of the IGIA(R) brand of products. Tactica has been successful in utilizing infomercials as a marketing channel to sell products.
All of IGIA’s operations occur in our Tactica subsidiary, which we acquired as of June 11, 2004. IGIA does not currently have any operations at the parent level.
In March 2000, a majority interest in Tactica was purchased by Helen of Troy Limited or HoT, a developer and marketer of personal care products. The transaction gave Tactica access to capital to expand marketing and distribution. Tactica expanded its focus on distribution and more than doubled the number of retail outlets carrying Tactica’s products to more than 45,000 worldwide. On April 29, 2004, Tactica’s management purchased back the 55% interest in Tactica held by HoT. In exchange for HoT’s 55% interest and approximately $17 million of secured Tactica debt and accrued interest payable, HoT received marketable securities, intellectual properties, including the Epil-Stop(R) brand, and the right to certain Tactica tax refunds. On June 11, 2004, Tactica acquired IGIA pursuant to an acquisition by IGIA of all of the outstanding securities of Tactica and the acquisition by Tactica’s stockholders of the majority of IGIA’s outstanding securities.

Comparison of Fiscal Years Ended February 29, 2004 To February 28, 2003
Sales and Gross Profit Margins
IGIA through its wholly owned subsidiary Tactica, sells a variety of personal care and other products to retailers (the “retail segment”) and directly to consumers (the “direct response segment”). Tactica uses television and print media advertising extensively to promote sales in both segments. Tactica’s unaudited net sales for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2004 (“fiscal 2004”) were $39,610,000, a decrease of $39,565,000, or 50.0%, compared to net sales of $79,174,000 for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2003 (“fiscal 2003”). Sales of Tactica’s Epil-Stop® hair removal products decreased approximately 50%, with this change being the primary reason for Tactica’s lower net revenues. Tactica spent $10,736,000 in television advertising in fiscal 2004 as compared to $23,681,000 in the comparable period for fiscal 2003, which contributed to the decline. In addition, competition among depilatory products increased which further reduced Epil-Stop® sales in fiscal 2004.
Tactica’s fiscal 2003 net revenues of $79,174,000 decreased 27.2%, compared to the fiscal year ended February 28, 2002 (“fiscal 2002”) of $108,675,000. Sales of Tactica’s Epil-Stop® hair removal products decreased approximately 50%, with this change being the primary reason for Tactica’s lower net revenues. During fiscal 2002, Tactica’s net revenues increased to over four times the 12-month period ended February 28, 2001 (“fiscal 2001”) levels. Epil-Stop® products played the most significant role of any product in Tactica’s fiscal 2002 sales increase. The Electrosage(TM) muscle stimulation / exercise product line and the new Twist-A-Braid(TM) hair styling accessory also contributed to higher fiscal 2002 sales.
Fiscal 2002 net sales of $108,675,000 improved 352.6% or $84,665,000 versus net sales of $24,010,000 for fiscal 2001. The retail and direct response operating segments exceeded their prior year sales totals.
We expect net revenues to increase during the fiscal year ending February 28, 2005 (“fiscal 2005”), compared to fiscal 2004, due to the introduction of the Singer floor care product line and increased spending on television and print media advertising. Due to the sale of the Epil-Stop brand to HoT, Tactica will no longer benefit from sales of Epil-Stop brand sales in the United States. However, we expect Epil-Stop brand sales to be subject to much lower chargeback activity now that Tactica has exited the U.S. market for Epil-Stop products.
Gross profit, as a percentage of net sales, decreased to 48.6% for fiscal 2004 from 70.0% for fiscal 2003. The reduction in gross profit as a percentage of net sales is attributable in part to an increase in retail chargebacks in fiscal 2004 which cause us to incur costs of sales that did not result in net sales. In addition, gross profit was reduced by a $2,295,000 increase in our inventory valuation reserve, which we made to address the uncertainty of our ability to recover costs of sales for certain products, particularly Epil-Stop products.
The fiscal 2003 gross profit margin of 70.0% was less than the 74.4% margin for fiscal 2002. Most of this decrease was attributable to a decrease in Tactica’s direct response sales which carry a relatively higher margin than retail sales. Tactica’s gross margins improved from fiscal 2001 to fiscal 2002, primarily because of a favorable change in the mix of products sold and our ability to source product more efficiently.
Selling, general, and administrative expense
During fiscal 2004, selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”), expressed as a percentage of sales, increased to 82.6% from 66.9% during fiscal 2003. Because its sales decreased, Tactica experienced an increase in SG&A as a percentage of sales, despite lowering its total SG&A spending by $20,209,000 in fiscal 2004 as compared to fiscal 2003.
Tactica’s reduced cash availability caused us to curtail our media advertising in fiscal 2004 by $13,232,000, which lessened the resulting promotional benefits that stimulated retail sales of Epil-Stop. Tactica incurred a high level of retail chargebacks for the Epil-Stop brand in fiscal 2004. In addition, the launch of Epil-Stop Wipe-Aways, a new hair removal product, was not promoted extensively and did not produce as much revenues as anticipated, and resulted in significant retail chargebacks.
Tactica no longer owns the United States rights to the Epil-Stop brand. Under terms of an April 29, 2004 agreement, HoT obtained all rights to the Epil-Stop brand and granted Tactica a three-year license to sell Epil-Stop products to customers outside of North America, Central America, South America and the Caribbean. Tactica’s Epil-Stop sales to international customers are not significantly influenced by U.S. television advertising and are generally not subject to returns. Tactica’s future Epil-Stop sales to international customer and are expected to be unaffected by sales and marketing activities in the U.S.
27
From fiscal 2002 to fiscal 2003, SG&A expressed as a percentage of net sales, increased from 63.4% to 66.9%. Because its sales decreased, Tactica experienced an increase in SG&A as a percentage of sales, despite lowering its SG&A spending by approximately $16,000,000. Tactica’s SG&A declined as a percentage of its net sales from fiscal 2001 to fiscal 2002. The main reason for the decline was a drop in Tactica’s fixed expenses as a percentage of its increased sales. The variable portion of Tactica’s SG&A expense rose slightly as a percentage of its fiscal 2002 net sales, mainly because of higher advertising expense.
Due mainly to the sales decrease discussed above, Tactica incurred an operating loss of $13,493,000 in fiscal 2004 as compared to a $2,486,000 operating profit in fiscal 2003.
Due mainly to the sales decrease discussed above, Tactica’s operating income decreased from $11,930,000 in fiscal 2002 to $2,486,000 in fiscal 2003. In addition to lower sales, Tactica also achieved slightly lower gross profit, as a percentage of sales, in fiscal 2003 than in fiscal 2002 as its sales mix shifted more heavily toward retailers and away from sales directly to consumers.
Tactica’s operating income of $11,930,000 in fiscal 2002 was a $16,060,000 improvement over its fiscal 2001 operating loss of $4,130,000. Tactica’s improvement in net sales was the primary factor leading to its better operating results in fiscal 2002. Higher fiscal 2002 revenues produced more gross profit for Tactica and caused its SG&A expenses, as a percentage of sales, to decrease.
Interest expense and Other income / expense
Interest expense was $896,000 in fiscal 2004 as compared to $900,000 in fiscal 2003.
Interest expense was $417,000, or 31.7%, lower in fiscal 2003 as compared to fiscal 2002. Tactica did not borrow any funds under its line of credit during fiscal 2003, as opposed to fiscal 2002, when it borrowed funds during the first three quarters of that fiscal year and incurred the related interest expense.
Interest expense decreased 14.9%, or $232,000, from fiscal 2001 to fiscal 2002. This was largely due to relatively lower levels of outstanding borrowings under the Tactica line of credit during fiscal 2002. The decrease in borrowings was due to the use of cash generated by operations to reduce the borrowing balance. Such purchases enabled us to obtain products from suppliers at favorable prices.
The increase of $64,000, or 10.7%, in other income for fiscal 2004, over fiscal 2003, was due mainly to a greater amount of recoveries of accounts receivable previously charged off.
The increase of $124,000, or 26.5%, in other income for fiscal 2003, over fiscal 2002, was due mainly to the fact that we had more cash available for investment during most of fiscal 2003 than fiscal 2002.
Other income increased to $467,000 in fiscal 2002, compared to $310,000 in fiscal 2001. The primary reason for the increase was $87,000 in non-recurring income from settlement and a $29,000 increase in interest income earned on excess cash and the $3,500,000 in loans to minority stockholders.
Income taxes
Income tax benefit for the fiscal 2004 was 34.4% of the net loss before taxes. Tactica expects to realize the tax benefit by making net operating loss carry-back claims to recover federal, state and city income taxes paid in fiscal 2003 and 2002 and by offsetting taxable income in fiscal 2005. Income tax expense for fiscal 2003 was 47.0% of net income before taxes.
Fiscal 2003 income tax expense was 47.0% of net income before taxes, a higher rate than the 37.0% rate that we experienced in fiscal 2002. The removal during fiscal 2002 of a valuation allowance from a $1,115,000 deferred tax asset reduced Tactica’s income tax expense for fiscal 2002.
In fiscal 2002 income tax expense was 37.0% of net income before income taxes, which expense was reduced by the removal of a valuation allowance removal from a $1,115,000 deferred tax asset. Our fiscal 2001 income tax benefit of 28.3% of the net loss before taxes was reduced in part by the establishment of a valuation allowance.

Comparison Of The Six Months Ended August 31, 2004 To The Six Months Ended August 31, 2003
Results of Operations
Revenues
IGIA through its wholly owned subsidiary Tactica, sells a variety of personal care and other products to retailers (the “retail segment”) and directly to consumers (the “direct response segment”). Tactica uses television and print media advertising extensively to promote sales in both segments. Our total revenues were $1,987,000 for the three-month period ended August 31, 2004 compared to $10,447,000 for the same period ended August 31, 2003, a decrease of $8,460,000, or 81.0%. Our total revenues were $8,572,000 for the six-month period ended August 31, 2004 compared to $25,712,000 for the same period ended August 31, 2003, a decrease of $17,140,000, or 66.7%.
The decreases in revenue for the three and six month periods ended August 31, 2004 as compared to the same periods for the prior fiscal year were primarily the result of the effects of our reduced spending on media advertising, order fulfillment services, and product purchases.
In the ordinary course of its business, Innotrac provided warehousing, sale order processing and fulfillment services to Tactica provided that the balance owed for such services was within an acceptable range. At times during the six months ended August 31, 2004, due to our low level of working capital, sales order processing was temporarily suspended. In addition, we invested less in acquiring new inventory which has delayed fulfillment of customer orders.
29
We incur chargeback claims, primarily product returns, from our retailer customers which reduce our revenues. We have incurred a high level of chargebacks for our products, especially Epil-Stop®, that we sold as a result of the reduction in our promotional efforts that stimulated retail sales of our products. In addition, the launch of Epil-Stop(R) Wipe-Aways, a new hair removal product, was not promoted extensively and did not produce as much revenues as anticipated, and is resulting in significant retail chargebacks. Under terms of an April 29, 2004 agreement, we transferred all rights to the Epil-Stop(R) brand to Helen of Troy and they granted us a three-year license to sell Epil-Stop(R) products to customers outside of North America, Central America, South America and the Caribbean. Our accrued chargeback reserve provides for estimated chargeback claims and it was significantly increased during the three-and six month periods ended August 31, 2004 to account for chargebacks for Epil-Stop(R) products, now that we do not support the brand in the U.S., and other of our products.
Our sales of Epil-Stop(R) products to international customers are not significantly influenced by U.S. television advertising and are generally not subject to returns. Future Epil-Stop(R) sales to international customers are expected to be largely unaffected by sales and marketing activities in the U.S.
Gross Profit
The Company’s gross profit was negative $204,000 negative 10.3% for the three months ended August 31, 2004 versus $5,934,000 or 56.8% for the three months ended August 31, 2003. The Company’s gross profit was $3,593,000 or 41.9% for the six months ended August 31, 2004 versus $15,167,000 or 59.0% for the six months ended August 31, 2003. The $6,138,000 and $11,574,000 decreases in gross profit for the three and six month periods, respectively, are primarily the result of the decreases in revenue. Our gross profit percentages decreased in partdue to increased sales of excess inventory to specialty retailers at reduced prices in the three and six month periods ended August 31, 2004, as compared to August 31, 2003. In addition, the Company’s gross profits in the current fiscal year have been reduced for the write down of its inventory to estimated market value, when such value is below cost.
30
Costs and Expenses
Selling, general and administrative (“S G & A”) expenses for the three-month period ended August 31, 2004 decreased $3,599,000 from $9,751,000 to $6,152,000, or 36.9% as compared to the same period in 2003. S G & A expenses for the six-month period ended August 31, 2004 decreased $8,661,000 from $18,094,000 to $9,433,000, or 47.9% as compared to the same period in 2003. We spent $3,749,000 and $7,263,000 or 98.6% and 94.1% less on media advertising in the three and six months ended August 31, 2004 as compared to the same periods in the prior fiscal year, respectively. We use television infomercials and print advertisements to sell our products directly to consumers and to increase awareness of the products we sell to retailers. Media advertising requires Tactica to make upfront investments of its working capital, which we have moderated to in recognition of the company’s level of working capital until such time as additional funds are raised.
Our promotional efforts for Epil-Stop products were significantly lower in the six-month period ended August 31, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003 due in part the April 29, 2004 transfer of its Epil-Stop brand to Helen of Troy. The Company also reduced personnel, warehouse operations costs and other general and administrative expense in connection with the lower level of sales activity. During the three months ended August 31, 2004, the company recorded a one-time expenses of $3,275,000 for financial advisory fees that were incurred in connection with the June 2004 reverse merger transaction. The fees consisted of 1,250,000 shares of IGIA Common Stock issued and paid to its financial advisor upon the closing of the June 11, 2004 reverse merger transaction.
Interest Expense
The Company incurred net interest expense of $24,000 and $153,000 during the three-month periods ended August 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Company incurred interest expense of $118,000 and $314,000 during the six-month periods ended August 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The decreases are due to the elimination on April 29, 2004 of Tactica’s line of credit with Helen of Troy and resulting interest expense charges.
Net Loss
Our net loss for the quarter ended August 31, 2004 was $6,061,000 in contrast to a $2,101,000 net loss for the quarter ended August 31, 2003. Our net loss for the six-months ended August 31, 2004 was $5,825,000 in contrast to a $1,390,000 net loss for the six-months ended August 31, 2003. The Company’s losses are attributable to decreased revenues and gross profits that were not fully offset by the decreases in operating expenses. In addition, the company incurred a $3,275,000 one-time financial advisory fee in connection with the June 2004 reverse merger that was paid in IGIA Common Stock.
Our net loss per common share (basic and diluted) was $0.34 and $0.12 for the three months ended August 31, 2004 and August 31, 2003, respectively. Our net loss per common share (basic and diluted) was $0.33 for the six months ended August 31, 2004 and $0.08 for the six months ended August 31, 2003.
The weighted average number of outstanding shares were 17,913,140 for the three and six months ended August 31, 2004, and August 31, 2003 respectively.
31
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of August 31, 2004, the Company had a $4 million working capital deficit and negative net worth. As of February 29, 2004, Tactica had a working capital deficit in excess of $12 million and negative net worth of approximately $11 million. As a result of the April 29, 2004 transaction between Tactica, Helen of Troy, and the minority shareholders of Tactica, Tactica eliminated approximately $17 million in secured debt and improved its position to obtain additional financing. The June 11, 2004 reverse merger between Tactica and IGIA gave the Company access to public markets for financing and enabled Tactica to convert approximately $3.6 million of accounts payable into Series E Convertible Preferred Stock.
Despite the transaction with Helen of Troy, the Company has not yet been able to raise additional working capital. As a result of the foregoing factors, Tactica did not have a sufficient available source of working capital to satisfy a demand by Innotrac that Tactica immediately pay all amounts allegedly due to Innotrac and continue its normal operation of business. Tactica and Innotrac agreed upon the terms of a Stipulation which contemplated the filing of a bankruptcy petition that was subsequently made and approved on an interim basis by the Bankruptcy Court.
The Bankruptcy Court approved a $300,000 debtor-in-possession financing that is being provided to Tactica by its senior management. Tactica plans to use the funds for extending its TV infomercial campaign that features the Singer® Lazer Storm vacuum cleaner, fulfilling orders for its IGIÁ® products placed by retail and catalog customers and operating the business. The Company is currently in negotiations for additional interim DIP financing and a permanent borrowing facility.
Management believes that the Stipulation and bankruptcy petition may create the opportunity to provide the company with funds to operate and to attract a permanent borrowing facility or an acquirer of Tactica’s business. IGIA plans to use the additional cash to increase revenues, which have been constrained, in part, due to limited available working capital needed to purchase order fulfillment services, product to fill customer orders and to run television advertising. Management believes that the additional funds would enable IGIA to promote direct response, retail and catalog sales of its Singer® line of floor care products. Management expects that increased sales and marketing activities would also enable IGIA to stimulate sales of its IGIÁ(R) product lines. By revitalizing sales and marketing activities, Tactica expects to improve its ability to bring to market new products, including products under its own brands and licensed products.
If the Company is unable to service it financial obligations as they become due, it will be required to adopt alternative strategies, which may include, but are not limited to, actions such as further reducing management and employee headcount and compensation, attempting to further restructure financial obligations and/or seeking a strategic merger, acquisition or a sale of assets. There can be no assurance that any of these strategies could be affected on satisfactory terms.
32
The effect of inflation on the Company’s revenue and operating results was not significant. The Company’s operations are located in North America and there are no seasonal aspects that would have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

Each Selling Stockholder is entitled to receive thirty-five thousand (35,000) shares of Diva Common Stock (assuming conversion of all shares of Diva Series E Preferred Stock issued as a result of the Transaction) for each share of Company Common Stock owned by the Selling Stockholder at the Closing. The number of shares of Company Common Stock that each Selling Stockholder is entitled to receive at the Closing as determined hereunder is set forth opposite each Selling Stockholder’s name on Exhibit A. Post Closing, Diva is hereinafter referred to as the “Surviving Corporation”
(b) Prior to the Closing, the holder of 4,225,000 shares of Diva Common Stock, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall exchange 3,725,000 of such shares for all of the issued and outstanding shares of Diva’s sole subsidiary, Diva Florida, and upon receipt by Diva, said shares shall thereafter be canceled.

(e) At the Closing, there shall be outstanding 100 shares of Diva Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. While Diva is aware that the holders of such Series A Convertible Preferred Stock intend to convert such stock to shares of Common Stock of the Surviving Corporation following the Closing, the terms of conversion of such shares shall be at the sole discretion of the Surviving Corporation, provided that such shares shall be converted into an aggregate of no more than 4,600,000 Common Shares.

PART I
Item 1. | Description of Business |
Introduction
Diva Entertainment, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), was incorporated in December 1992 in the State of Delaware under the name Quasar Projects Company. The Company was formed for the purpose of merging with or acquiring an operating company with operating history and assets. The Company’s intended primary activity was to seek companies with which to merge or to acquire. From its inception through April 28, 1999, the Company generated nominal revenues and, prior to April 28, 1999, the Company did not actively engage in business for at least one fiscal year.
Since April 28, 1999, the Company has been engaged in the business of owning, operating and managing talent management companies through its subsidiary Diva Entertainment, Inc., a Florida corporation (“Diva-Florida”), and its subsidiaries—Prima Eastwest Model Management, Inc., a California corporation (“Prima”), and Que Management Inc., a New York corporation (“Que”).
The Business
The Company is in the business of representing talent including professional fashion models, commercial actors and theatrical actors. The talent management business, including model management, is based upon obtaining talent and matching talent to clientele. Traditional modeling clientele include print and television advertising, and runway. Both male and female fashion models have a limited career span. Most professional models are aged between 18 and 25 years, although there is a limited market for child and mature models. As a result, the talent management business is characterized by continuous talent turnover, the need to discover new talent and the need to anticipate and adapt to changing consumer tastes.
Talent management fees are based on a percentage of the model’s fee, plus additional fees paid by the clientele. The Company’s over 5,000 clients include magazine publishing houses, designers, national retailers and catalogs including Elle Magazine, Talbot’s, Nordstroms, Banana Republic and Macy’s.
Marketing
The traditional markets for Prima and Que are in the field of print. This includes not only magazines such as Vanity Fair, Glamour, GQ, Mirabella, Cosmopolitan, Allure and Vogue; but also advertising agencies, catalogues; movie production companies such as Universal, Paramount and Warner Brothers; and general industry such as Calvin Klein, Levi’s, ABC Television, and the Gianni Versace organization.
Prima and Que advertise in trade journals used extensively by professionals seeking print modeling services. Furthermore, industry magazines and television have viewed Prima
C-2
and Que as being high-profile, fast-growing boutique agencies. Prima and Que’s models have been widely seen on magazine covers. This creates a flow of new clients and new models. Prima and Que also rely on their reputations to attract clients and model talent.
Competition
Prima and Que both compete with the major world-wide model agencies, several of which are headquartered in New York. Each of Prima and Que also competes with many smaller regional firms. Management believes that because each of Prima and Que frequently works with a network of independent agencies when placing its models in other markets and conversely helps place other agencies’ models in the New York and Los Angeles markets, Prima and Que can compete with the major agencies on a world-wide basis.
While the New York market with the larger firms tends to attract the super models with its major European markets and larger fee income, Los Angeles on the other hand attracts models who are also seeking an entry into the entertainment industry. The entertainment industry dominates the Los Angeles market and Prima is thus able to provide agency services for models to both print and entertainment industry work.
Working as a team and having the expertise of the other in its particular region, Que and Prima are each able to operate more effectively and efficiently by coordinating many of the jobs between the two companies. This enhances their ability to compete with the major world-wide model agencies. Notwithstanding this, there can be no assurance that the Company can compete effectively in the future.
Customer and Talent Base
Prima has been in business for over ten years. Over that period, it has maintained a wide base of both customers and models. The client base is very diverse, ranging from department stores to record companies and movie production firms and is not linked solely to the geographic Los Angeles market. Que, although opened more recently on January 5, 1998, also has a similarly diverse client base.
Any talent management company must expand by increasing the talent that it has as part of its portfolio. Que and Prima have had and continue to have a foundation of existing talent, both male and female. The talent base is very diverse including models with different ethnic backgrounds and looks. Furthermore, Que and Prima operate a year-round scouting program with individual scouts traveling around the United States, Europe (both central and eastern) and South America in search of new talent.
Employees
At June 30, 2003, the Company had 15 employees. None of the employees is subject to any collective bargaining agreement. Prima and Que consider their relationships with their employees to be good.
Seasonality
The Company’s business is not affected by seasonality to any significant degree.
No Independent Audit Committee of Board of Directors
The Company does not have an independent Audit Committee of its Board of Directors. The entire Board of Directors functions as the Company’s Audit Committee. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) and applicable U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Rules which implement the Sarbanes-Oxley Act impose certain standards on listed companies relative to the maintenance and operations of Board of Directors Audit Committees, including but not limited to the requirement that Audit Committees be appointed, that membership of such committees comprise only independent directors, that a financial professional be among the membership of such committee and that such committee be afforded an adequate operating budget and be able to employ independent professional advisors. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act also requires that the Audit Committee oversee the work of a company’s outside auditors and that the outside auditors be responsible to the Audit Committee.
C-3
At this time, the Company is not in compliance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act as they relate to independent Board of Directors Audit Committees. The Company believes that under Rules implemented by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to implement these provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act it is not required to comply with its requirements relating to the appointment of an Audit Committee of its Board of Directors and conforming with the enumerated standards and guidelines because the Company is not a “Listed Company” as defined therein. Notwithstanding, the Company may ultimately be determined to not be incompliance therewith and may therefore face penalties and restrictions on its operations until it comes into full compliance. Additionally, the Company’s failure to comply with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could preclude it from being listed on NASDAQ or any other stock exchanges until it can show that it is in compliance. The Company’s failure to be in compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could also present an impediment to a potential business combination where the target company intends that the Company apply for listing on NASDAQ or any other applicable stock exchanges.
Item 2. | Description of Property |
Que leases 3,650 square feet of office space at 180 Varick Street, 13th Floor, New York, New York 10014, pursuant to a lease that expires on December 31, 2007. The rent for this space is approximately $8,750.00 per month for the calendar year 2003.
Prima leases offices at 6100 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 710, Los Angeles, California 90048, consisting of 2,476 square feet. Prima leases the offices pursuant to a lease that expires on December 31, 2003 at a rent of $4,580.60 per month.
The Company is a defendant in the matter of Laszlo Hajdu-Nemath vs. Peter Zachariou Beauty Scene Corp., Diva Entertainment, Inc. and ASD Group, Inc., Case No. 01-600815, in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York. In this action, the Plaintiff seeks damages for, among other things, the alleged breach of a consulting agreement between the Plaintiff and Peter Zachariou pursuant to which the Plaintiff was to provide consulting services to, among others, the Company. The Company has appealed the denial of a motion to dismiss the Complaint based upon documentary evidence and for failure to state a cause of action, and will continue to vigorously defend the action. At this stage of the litigation, the Company cannot estimate the range of the potential loss in the event the Company is unsuccessful in the defense of the action.
Que is a defendant in the matter of Amanda Masters, et al v. Wilhelmina Model Agency, et al, Case No. 02-CV-4911 (HB), in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York. The Plaintiffs seek to maintain this as a Class Action under Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The Plaintiffs allege a per se restraint of trade or commerce in violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act, forefeiture and disgorgement of all fees paid to defendants received as a result of its alleged wrongful conduct, punitive and exemplary damages and accounting of all costs and expenses, pre-judgment and post-judgment interest, reasonable attorneys fees and costs and such other relief as the Court deems appropriate. Que was served with a Summons and Amended Complaint and is vigorously defending this action. Que has filed a Motion for Summary Judgment which is currently pending. At this stage of the litigation, the Company cannot estimate the range of the potential loss, if any, in the event Que is unsuccessful in the defense of this Action.
Prima is a defendant in the matter Albert Sweet v. Mikel J. Elliott et. al., Case no. 02U20467 in the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles. The Case was originally filed on January 30, 2003. Plaintiff’s initial Complaint was for unlawful detainer and money damages relating to the lease for a studio located in Los Angeles, California. Prima had been the original lessee under the Lease which was assigned to a third party in 1996. Notwithstanding the assignment, Prima remained a party to the Lease, subject to an indemnity agreement on the part of the assignees. Thereafter, the assignees allegedly defaulted on the Lease and the landlord commenced this action to recover possession of the studio and damages for unpaid rent. This matter is currently pending and is in the discovery phase. A trial date has not yet been set at this time. Given the indemnity agreement, Prima has left the primary defense of this matter to the assignee and there appears to be little likelihood that the action will result in any financial exposure to the Company.
Item 4. | Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders |
None.

PART II
Item 5. | Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters |
As of this date, while the Company has a market maker who has established a bid price for the Company’s common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board, the Company’s common stock has yet to trade. No assurance can be made that there will ever be an active market in the Company’s common stock traded or listed on an exchange.
As of June 30, 2003, the Company had approximately 284 holders of record of its Common Stock.
The Company has not declared any cash dividends with respect to its Common Stock during the prior two years and does not anticipate paying cash dividends on its Common Stock in the foreseeable future. However, holders of the Company’s Series A and Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative preferential dividends which may be paid in cash or shares of the Company’s Common Stock. As described in the Company’s financial statements, if and when the Company’s Series A and Series B Preferred Stock are converted into Common Stock, there will be reflected a certain amount as deemed preferred dividends on the Company’s statement of operations.
Item 6. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis |
Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters discussed in this item are forward looking statements involving risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to materially differ. Those risks and uncertainties include but are not limited to economic, competitive, industry and market factors affecting the Company’s operations, markets, products, prices and other factors discussed in the Company’s filings with the SEC.
Results of Operations for Fiscal Years ended June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2003
The Company recognized a profit from operations of $17,000 for the year ended June 30, 2003 (“Fiscal 2003”) compared with a loss from operations of $365,000 for the year ended June 30, 2002 (“Fiscal 2002”). The improvement in operating result was due to a reduction of $467,000 in selling, general and administrative expenses (due primarily to reductions in staff and legal expenses) and a reduction of $51,000 in depreciation and amortization. The Company’s revenues decreased 6.7% to $1,877,000 in Fiscal 2003 as compared to $2,014,000 in Fiscal 2002. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $1,796,000 in Fiscal 2003 as compared to $2,263,000 in Fiscal 2002. As a result, the Company’s net loss attributable to common stockholders is $357,000 lower in Fiscal 2003 ($107,000) compared with Fiscal 2002 ($462,000). Again, the improvement was due to a reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization. During Fiscal 2002, part of the settlement of a litigation matter allowed the waiving of all past and future dividends for some of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock which are issued and outstanding .
Prima’s sales for Fiscal 2003 were roughly unchanged from Fiscal 2002, $476,000 compared to $482,000 for Fiscal 2002. In Fiscal 2003, Prima selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $490,000 compared to $623,000 for Fiscal 2002. As a result, the operating loss decreased to $14,000 in Fiscal 2003 from a loss of $183,000 in Fiscal 2002.
Que’s Fiscal 2003 sales decreased to $1,402,000 compared to $1,531,000 in Fiscal 2002, largely due to an overall slowdown in the industry. This was offset, however, by a reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses from $1,432,000 in Fiscal 2002 to $1,150,000 in Fiscal 2003. Thus, the operating profit in Fiscal 2003 of $253,000 reflected a significant increase over an operating profit of $26,000 in Fiscal 2002.
Trends and Uncertainties
Prima and Que each continue to seek to expand and increase their customer bases and operating revenues. In doing so it is probable that the Company’s administrative expenses and overhead are likely to increase in future periods. The continuation of obtaining additional types of business and markets is uncertain and the continued success of any of the Company’s new marketing strategies for generating revenue is uncertain.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
1. Liquidity
On June 30, 2003, the Company had a working capital deficit of $1,298,000 as compared to a working capital deficit of $1,209,000 on June 30, 2002. The increase in working capital deficit is primarily due to the increased accounts payable to talent and dividends payable. Accounts receivable increased from $456,000 in Fiscal 2002 to $727,000 in Fiscal 2003. The Company requires capital resources as the operating companies must pay their modeling talent soon after services are rendered. While the accounts receivable for these operating companies are generally due in 30 days, they are usually collected within 60 to 120 days.
2. Plan of Operations and Need for Additional Financing
The Company expects that the working capital cash requirements over the next 12 months will be generated from operations. The Company has no commitments for additional funding and no assurance can be given that it will obtain additional funding.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts ofassets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. For example, unexpected changes in market conditions or a downturn in the economy could adversely affect actual results. Estimates are used in accounting for, among other things, inventory obsolescence, goodwill valuation, retail inventory method, legal liability, product warranty, depreciation, employee benefits, taxes, and contingencies. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the Financial Statements in the period they are determined to be necessary.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
Stockholders
Diva Entertainment, Inc. and Subsidiaries
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Diva Entertainment, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficiency and cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. These consolidated 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 conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of business; however, currently such realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities are subject to significant uncertainties.
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, as of June 30, 2003, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $1,235,906 and its total liabilities exceeded its total assets by $1,544,584. These factors, among others, indicate that the Company may be unable to continue existence. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.
The appropriateness of the Company to continue using the aforementioned basis of accounting is dependent upon, among other things, the ability to: (1) obtain profitability and positive cash flow from ongoing operations and (2) maintain and increase existing credit facilities or raise additional capital.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Diva Entertainment, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2003 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2003 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.

Diva Entertainment, Inc. and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2003 and 2002
NOTE A—COMPANY BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1. Company Background—Organization and Nature of Business and Liquidity
Diva Entertainment, Inc. (formerly known as Quasar Projects Company) (“Diva-Delaware” or the “Company”), which is primarily a holding company, was incorporated in the State of Delaware in December 1992.
Prima was incorporated in the State of California on January 29, 1996 and Que was incorporated in the State of New York on December 29, 1997. Prima and Que are in the business of providing management services to models and talents in the entertainment industry, primarily in California and New York.
Successful operations are subject to certain risks and uncertainties including, among others, all the problems, expenses, delays and other risks inherent in developing and expanding the Company’s client base, actual and potential competition by entities with greater financial resources, experience and market presence than the Company. Further risks and uncertainties relate to the ability of the Company to generate sufficient revenue and obtain financing and additional equity.
Losses from operations over the past several years have adversely affected the Company’s liquidity. The Company also plans to continue to expand its customer base and to reduce operating expenses. Although there can be no assurance that these measures will be successful, the Company believes that future operations will provide sufficient liquidity to fund current operations.
C-16
Diva Entertainment, Inc. and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2003 and 2002 (continued)
2. Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Diva-Delaware, Diva-Florida and Diva-Florida’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Prima and Que, collectively referred to as the “Company”. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
3. Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes management revenue upon completion of the service by the model and talents.
4. Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment are computed on the straight-line and accelerated methods, in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of the depreciable assets to operations over their estimated service lives, which range from 5 to 7 years. The cost of leasehold improvements is amortized over the life of the lease or the estimated useful life of the improvements, whichever is less.
5. Use of Estimates in the Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Company estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the creditworthiness of its customers as well as general economic conditions. Consequently, an adverse change in those conditions could affect the Company’s estimate.
6. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and current debt and due to officer amounts approximate fair value, principally because of the short-term maturity of these items. Due to officers included in other liabilities is a stated amount based on the face amount borrowed from the officer; it is not practical to estimate its fair market value because the amount is due with a related party and to determine its fair value would require incurring excessive costs.
7. Impairment of long-lived assets
The Company accounts for the impairment of long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS No. 121 which requires that long-lived assets and identifiable intangibles held and used by a company be reviewed for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable.
C-17
Diva Entertainment, Inc. and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2003 and 2002 (continued)
8. Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provision of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” which permits the Company to account for stock option grants in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25 (“APB No. 25”), “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” Under APB No. 25, compensation expense is recorded when the exercise price of the Company’s employee stock option is less than the market price of the underlying stock at the date of grant. At June 30, 2003, there are no options issued and outstanding to employees.
9. Deferred Income Taxes
The Company accounts for deferred income taxes using Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS 109”). The statement requires that deferred income taxes reflect the tax consequences on future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their bases for financial reporting purposes. In addition, SFAS 109 requires the recognition of future tax benefits, such as net operating loss carryforwards. A valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets is recognized when, in management’s judgment, it is more likely than not that all, or a portion of such deferred assets, will not be realized.
10. Comprehensive Income
The Company records comprehensive income in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 (“SFAS No. 130”), “Reporting Comprehensive Income.” SFAS No. 130 requires unrealised gains and losses in investments available for sale to be included in other comprehensive income. The components of comprehensive income and the effect on earnings for the year ended June 30, 2003 is detailed in the Company’s accompanying consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity. The assets relating to the balance in other comprehensive income were sold during the year ended June 30, 2003.
11. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share amounts have been computed using the weighted-average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during each year. Diluted earnings per share amounts have been computed using the weighted-average number of common and common equivalent shares and the dilutive potential common outstanding during each year. For the year ended June 30, 2003, convertible preferred stock has been excluded from the calculation of diluted income (loss) per share as its effect would have been antidilutive. For the year ended June 30, 2003, convertible preferred stock has been excluded from the calculation of diluted income per share since the number of common shares the preferred stock is convertible into is not known, because the conversion is dependent on the market value of the common stock. At June 30, 2003, there is no determinable market value of the common stock, since it is not currently trading on any stock exchange.

NOTE C—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Due to Officer
The amounts due to an officer of the Company amounted to $308,678 at June 30, 2003 represent advances made by the officer. The advances are secured by a lien on all the assets of the Company and are evidenced by a series of promissory notes which bear interest at the rate of 3% per annum. The loans are due on July 3, 2004.
Due to Related Party
The amount due to related party of $94,842 at June 30, 2003 represents net advances made to the Company. The advances are secured by a lien on all the assets of the Company and are evidenced by a series of promissory notes. The loans are due on July 3, 2004.
NOTE D—INCOME TAXES
In Fiscal 2003, no Federal, state and local tax expense was recorded as a result of the net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards. In Fiscal 2003, no Federal, state or local income tax expense was recorded due to the net loss incurred. Differences between the income tax expense (benefit) computed at the Federal statutory rate (34%) and reported income taxes (benefit) for 2003 and 2002 are primarily attributable to the valuation allowance of the NOL carryforwards.
The following is a reconciliation of the statutory Federal income tax rate to the effective rate reported in the financial statements:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2003 and 2002 (continued)
Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of temporary differences between amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and such amounts as measured by tax laws, and relate primarily to the NOL carry forward and the allowance for doubtful accounts and sales allowances. The Company has established a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of the Company’s ability to generate sufficient future taxable income to ensure the realization of the tax benefits related primarily to the NOL carryforwards.
The following is a summary of the items giving rise to deferred tax assets at June 30, 2003:
| | | |
Current | | | |
Allowance for doubtful accounts and sales allowances | | $ | 100,000 |
Long-term | | | |
Net operating loss carry forward | | | 5,100,000 |
| |
|
|
Total deferred tax assets | | | 5,200,000 |
Less valuation allowance | | | 5,200,000 |
| |
|
|
Net deferred tax asset | | $ | 0 |
| |
|
|
The Company has estimated NOL carryforwards of approximately $5,100,000 available for Federal, state and local income tax purposes expiring in various years through June 2018. The Company’s ability to utilize these NOL carryforwards to offset future taxable income is significantly limited due to changes in control as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.
NOTE E—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
1. Leasing Arrangements

2. Contingency
In December 1997, Prima entered into an Agreement with an unrelated third party to sell certain assets and liabilities. Pursuant to this agreement, Prima assigned the studio lease to the buyer. The future commitments under the lease at June 30, 2003 of approximately$600,000 are payable by the third party through October 2007. Prima is contingently liable for these commitments in case the buyer is in default of such payments. In fact, the buyer is currently in default of such payments and the landlord has filed a lawsuit against the buyer and Prima. Pursuant to the Agreement between buyer and Prima, the buyer has agreed to indemnify Prima against any liability on account of the studio lease.
3. Litigation
The Company was a defendant in a lawsuit entitled Barry Seidman, Richard S. Beatty, Brad Blumenthal, Alex Halpern, Steven Louth, Dale Steen, Frederick A. Lenz and Jesse Reggio v. Diva Entertainment, Inc. and Peter Zachariou, Case No. GIC 767838, in the Superior Court of California, County of San Diego. The Plaintiffs were stockholders of the Company who alleged securities fraud in connection with the sale by the Company of certain shares of Series A Preferred Stock. This lawsuit was settled on June 18, 2002. Pursuant to the settlement, the Company agreed to forgive $70,000 in amounts due to the Company from the Plaintiff shareholders as well as pay an additional $30,000 in cash.
In connection with this litigation matter, the Company asserted a claim against Broad and Cassel, the law firm which represented the Company in the original transaction. In settlement of this claim, Broad and Cassel paid the Company $50,000 and agreed to forgive the indebtedness owed by the Company to Broad and Cassel. A mutual general release was exchanged.
On or about July 1, 2002, a Complaint was filed in the matter of Keith Mazer and Jehu Hand vs. Diva Entertainment, Inc., a Florida corporation, J.R. Consulting, Inc., a Nevada corporation; and Peter Zachariou, an individual, Case No. B6276807, in the Superior Court of California for the County of Orange or Los Angeles. In their Complaint, Plaintiffs have alleged violations of California corporate securities law, breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty as controlling stockholders, officers and/or directors and violation of business and profession code This Complaint was not properly served upon the Company. The Company has entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual General Release from the Plaintiffs in connection with this settlement. The Company is not required to pay any amounts pursuant to the Settlement Agreement.
Que is a defendant in the matter of Amanda Masters, et al v. Wilhelmina Model Agency, et al, Case No. 02-CV-4911 (HB), in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York. The Plaintiffs seek to maintain this as a Class Action under Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The Plaintiffs allege a per se restraint of trade or commerce in violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act, forefeiture and disgorgement of all fees paid to defendants received as a result of its alleged wrongful conduct, punitive and exemplary damages and accounting of all costs and expenses, pre-judgment and post-judgment interest, reasonable attorneys fees and costs and such other relief as the Court deems appropriate. Que was served with a Summons and Amended Complaint and is vigorously defending this action. Que has filed a Motion for Summary Judgment which is currently pending. At this stage of the litigation, the Company cannot estimate the range of the potential loss, if any, in the event Que is unsuccessful in the defense of this Action.

NOTE F—PREFERRED STOCK
The Company has authorized 1,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value preferred stock. At June 30, 2003, 502, 3,000 and 100 shares of Series A, B and C preferred stock are issued and outstanding, respectively.
1. Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
In May 1998, Diva-Florida commenced a private placement offering of its common stock, wherein it proposed to sell up to 500,000 shares of common stock at a price of $2.00 per share. As of June 30, 1998, 221,000 shares of common stock were sold for $442,000. These shares were subscribed and not yet formally issued at April 28, 1999. In connection with the Acquisition (see Note A), the subscribers of the 200,000 Diva-Florida shares converted their subscribed shares to 200 shares of Diva-Delaware’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred”). Diva-Florida returned $42,000 to the subscriber who held 21,000 subscribed shares of Diva-Florida’s common stock. In connection with the conversion, Diva-Delaware authorized the designation of 1,721 shares of the Series A Preferred.
Diva-Delaware immediately commenced a private placement offering of its Series A Preferred after the Acquisition (see Note A), wherein it proposed to sell up to 750 shares of Series A Preferred at a price of $2,000 per share. At June 30, 2001, 375 shares of the Series A Preferred were sold for $750,000, which was received in cash. This, combined with the 200 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock previously issued, resulted in there being 575 shares of Series A Preferred issued and outstanding. However, in Fiscal 2001, their Company redeemed 62.5 shares of Series A Preferred from two of its stockholders. The shares were redeemed for $125,000, the price paid for such shares. In Fiscal 2002, the Company redeemed 7.5 shares of Series A Preferred from two of its stockholders. The shares were redeemed for $15,000, the price paid for such shares. In Fiscal 2003, the Company redeemed 3 shares of Series A Preferred from one of its stockholders. The shares were redeemed for $6,000, the price paid for such shares. As a result, as at June 30, 2003, the Company had 502 shares of Series A Preferred issued and outstanding.
The Series A Preferred holders are entitled to receive cumulative preferential dividends at $60 per share per annum, payable annually on each anniversary date of issuance. At the option of Diva-Delaware, such dividend may be paid in cash or in shares of Diva-Delaware’s common stock valued at the Conversion Rate, as defined. As of June 30, 2003, total cumulative dividends amounted to $66,988. In addition, the Series A Preferred shall not be redeemed without the consent of the holders of the preferred shares. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the Series A Preferred holders shall be entitled to receive, before any common stockholder, an amount equal to $2,000 per share. In the event there are insufficient funds to pay the series to holders, the holders shall share rateably with all other preferred stockholders. Each share of Series A Preferred shall be converted, at the option of the holders, at any time, and shall be mandatorily converted on the first anniversary of its date of issuance into a number of shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion rate equal to $2,000 divided by 65% at the average market price of the common stock for the five trading days immediately prior to the conversion date. At June 30, 2002, no shares of Series A Preferred stock have been converted into common stock of the Company, since there is no current market for the shares as they are not yet traded on any of the exchanges. Until there is a market for the shares of common stock and the shares of preferred stock become exercisable upon their terms, the shares of preferred stock cannot be converted. Because the conversion price will be less than the fair market value of the common stock, the preferred stock is deemed to have an embedded beneficial conversion feature. This feature allows holders of the preferred stock to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price below its deemed fair value.

2. Series B Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock
In connection with the Acquisition (see Note A), JRCI converted $3,000,000 of debt, owed to it by Diva-Florida and Subsidiaries, into 3,000 shares of Series B Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred”) of Diva-Delaware. In connection with the conversion, Diva-Delaware authorized the designation of 3,000 shares of Series B Preferred. The Series B Preferred holders are entitled to receive cumulative preferential dividends at $30 per share per annum, payable annually on each anniversary date of issuance. At the option of the Diva-Delaware, such dividend may be paid in cash or in shares of Diva-Delaware’s common stock valued at the Conversion Rate, as defined. In addition, the Series B Preferred may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company at a redemption price of $1,000 per share plus any dividends accrued and unpaid. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the Series B Preferred holders shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to $1,000 per share. In the event there are insufficient funds to pay the preferred stock holder, the holder shall share ratably with all other preferred stockholders. Each share of Series B Preferred stock shall be convertible at the option of the holder, at any time after issuance, and shall be mandatorily converted at the tenth anniversary of its date of issuance into a number of shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion rate equal to $1,000 divided by 65% of the average market price of the common stock for the five days immediately prior to the conversion date. At June 30, 2003, no shares of Series B preferred stock have been converted into common stock of the Company since there is no market price for the shares of common stock, as they are not yet traded on any of the exchanges. Until there is a market for the common stock and the shares of preferred stock become exercisable upon their terms, the shares of preferred stock cannot be converted. Because the conversion price will be less than the fair market value of the common stock, the preferred stock is deemed to have an embedded beneficial conversion feature. This feature allows holders of the preferred stock to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price below its deemed fair value.
3. Series C Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock
In February 2000, the Company issued 100 shares of Series C Preferred Stock at a price of $1,000 per share. The Series C Preferred holder is entitled to receive 6% per annum upon declaration of dividends by the Company’s Board of Directors. At June 30, 2003, there have been no dividends declared. At the option of the Company, such dividend when and if one is declared may be paid in cash or in shares of The Company’s common stock valued at the Conversion Rate, as defined. In addition, the Series C Preferred Stock may be redeemed in whole or in part at the option of the Company. Each share is redeemable at 125% of its stated value, plus any amount equal to any dividends accrued but unpaid thereon. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the Series C Preferred holders shall be entitled to receive, before any common stockholder, an amount equal to $1,000 per share plus any declared and unpaid dividends. In the event, there are insufficient funds to pay the series to holders, the holder shall share rateably with all other preferred stockholders. Each share of Series C Preferred shall be converted, at the option of the holders, at any time, and shall be mandatoraly converted on the first anniversary of the date of the issuance into a number of shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion rate equal to $1,000 divided by 65% at the average market price of the common stock for the five trading days immediately prior to the conversion date. At June 30, 2003, no shares of Series C preferred stock have been converted into common stock of the Company since there is no market price for the shares of common stock, as they are not yet traded on any of the exchanges. Until there is a market for the shares of common stock and the shares of preferred stock become exercisable on their terms, the shares of preferred stock cannot be converted. Because the conversion price will be less than the fair market value of the common

stock, the preferred stock is deemed to have an embedded beneficial conversion feature. This feature allows holders of the preferred stock to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price below its deemed fair value.
4. Option Agreement
JRCI and Diva-Delaware also entered into an Option Agreement giving JRCI the option to purchase additional shares of Diva-Delaware’s common stock at its par value of $.001 per share in order for JRCI to maintain JRCI’s ownership of the outstanding shares of Diva-Delaware’s common stock at no less than 65%. The option expires when all of the shares of Diva-Delaware’s Series A Preferred have been converted into shares of Diva-Delaware’s common stock. The rights under this Agreement were assigned to Havilland.
NOTE G—SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company operated in two geographic segments: New York (“NY”) and California (“CA”) (see Note A). The accounting policies used to develop segment information correspond to those described in the summary of significant accounting policies (see Note A). Although both segments operate in similar manners, the NY segment has outperformed LA because the NY segment has a significantly higher number of female models than male models whereas in the CA segment, there are more male models used. Male models generate lower revenues per engagement than female models. In addition, the NY models rates are significantly higher than those in CA. In addition, the Company does not allocate certain corporate expenses, such as administrative salaries, professional fees and occupancy costs, to its segments. Segment profit (loss) is based on profit from operations before provision for income taxes. Sales and transfers between segments are accounted for at cost. The reportable segments are distinct business units operating in different geographic areas. They are separately managed, with separate marketing systems.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Note 1
These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting policies for interim financial information and with instructions for Form 10-QSB and Item 310 of Regulations S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for a complete set of annual financial statements. Readers of these statements should read the annual audited financial statements of the Company filed on Form 10-KSB in conjunction therewith.
The financial information as at March 31, 2004 and for the three-month period then ended are unaudited; however, such financial information includes all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for the fair presentation of the financial information in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. The going concern basis of presentation assumes the Company will continue in operation throughout the next fiscal year and into the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Certain conditions, discussed below, currently exist which raise substantial doubt upon the validity of this assumption. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from outcome of this uncertainty.
The Company has a stockholders’ accumulated deficiency of $1,585,627 at March 31, 2004 and produced only $19,877 cash flow from operations during the three months then ended. The Company plans to obtain additional funds through future debt or equity financings over the next twelve months to offset any future cash flow deficiencies. Such financings may not be available on reasonable terms, if at all. The resolution of this going concern issue is dependent on the realization of management’s plans. If management is unsuccessful in raising future debt or equity financings, the Company will be required to reduce or cease its operations.
Note 2
No income taxes were paid during the three months ended March 31, 2004.
Note 3
The effects of non-cash investing and financing activities have been excluded from the statement of cash flows in accordance with SFAS 95.

Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 2004 as Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2003
Revenue for Diva Entertainment, Inc. (the “Company”) increased by approximately $191,000 or approximately 66.6% from approximately $287,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 to approximately $478,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004. SG&A expenses for the three- month period increased by approximately $39,000 (an increase of approximately 8.6%) from approximately $452,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 to approximately $491,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The significant increase in revenues enabled the Company to narrow its operating loss to a loss of approximately $14,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to an operating loss of approximately $165,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003. Interest expense for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2004 (approximately $1,300) showed an increase from the corresponding period in the previous year (approximately $0).
In the quarter ended March 31, 2004, the operating results of the Company’s California operations which are carried on by the Company’s subsidiary, Prima Eastwest Model Management, Inc. (“Prima”), showed an improvement, largely due to significantly increased revenues and a reduction of SG&A expenses, from a loss of approximately $64,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to a profit of approximately $32,626 for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. Prima’s revenue was approximately 200 % higher than the corresponding period the prior year, increasing from approximately $36,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to approximately $108,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2004. At the same time, Prima’s SG&A expenses decreased by approximately 25 % from approximately $100,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to approximately $75,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2004. This decrease was largely due to a reduction in force and other operating expenses in the Prima operations.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2004, the Company’s New York City operations, carried on by the Company’s subsidiary, Que Management, Inc. (“Que”), also showed an improvement from the prior year corresponding period. In the quarter ended March 31, 2004, Que had revenue of approximately $370,000 compared with approximately $251,000 for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2003, an increase of approximately 47.4 %. At the same time SG&A expenses increased by approximately 7.1 % from approximately $336,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to approximately $360,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. Que’s operating performance improved from a loss of approximately $85,000 for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2003 to a loss of approximately $1,800 for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2004.
D-6
Nine Months Ended March 31, 2004 as Compared to Nine Months Ended March 31, 2003
Revenue for Diva Entertainment, Inc. (the “Company”) increased by approximately $36,000 or approximately 2.7 % from approximately $1,320,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 to approximately $1,356,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2004. SG&A expenses for the nine- month period decreased by approximately $209,000 (a decrease of approximately 13.4 %) from approximately $1,556,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 to approximately $1,347,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2004. This decrease was largely due to a reduction in force and other operating expenses associated with the Company’s operations. As a result, the Company had a reduced operating loss of approximately $35,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2004 compared to an operating loss of approximately $236,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2003.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2004, the operating results of the Company’s California operations which are carried on by the Company’s subsidiary, Prima Eastwest Model Management, Inc. (“Prima”), showed an improvement due to slightly increased revenues and a significant reduction of SG&A expenses, from a loss of approximately $186,000 in the nine months ended March 31, 2003 to a profit of approximately $12,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2004. Prima’s revenue was approximately 9.7 % higher than the corresponding period the prior year, increasing from approximately $227,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 to approximately $249,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2004.

This decrease was largely due to a reduction in force and other operating expenses.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2004, the Company’s New York City operations, carried on by the Company’s subsidiary, Que Management, Inc. (“Que”), showed an improvement from the prior year corresponding period. For the nine months ended March 31, 2004, Que had revenue of approximately $1,107,000 compared with approximately $1,093,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2004, an increase of approximately 1.3 %. At the same time SG&A expenses decreased by approximately 2.2 % from approximately $995,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 to approximately $973,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2004. Que’s operating profit improved from a profit of approximately $98,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 to a profit of approximately $134,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2004.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the nine month period ended March 31, 2004, the Company’s working capital deficit increased from approximately $1,298,094 at June 30, 2003 to approximately $1,442,085. The Company’s strategy to improve its working capital position is to undertake to increase revenues and control operating expenses and, if feasible, raise additional capital. There is no assurance that this can be accomplished or that the Company will be able to obtain any additional funding.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.Legal Proceedings.
The Company from time to time is subject to routine litigation which is incidental to its business. Refer to the Company’s Form 10-KSB for the period ended June 30, 2003, Item 3 for details of pending litigation. As of March 31, 2004, there was no material change to the status of pending legal proceedings as reported therein.
Item 5.Other Information.
The Company does not have an independent Audit Committee of its Board of Directors. The entire Board of Directors functions as the Company’s Audit Committee. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Rules implementing the Sarbanes-Oxley Act impose certain standards on listed companies relative to the maintenance and operations of Board of Directors Audit Committees, including but not limited to the requirement that Audit Committees be appointed, that membership of such committees comprise only independent directors, that a financial professional be among the membership of such committee and that such committee be afforded an adequate operating budget and be able to employ independent professional advisors. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act also requires that the Audit Committee oversee the work of a company’s outside auditors and that the outside auditors be responsible to the Audit Committee. At this time, the Company is not in compliance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act as they relate to independent Board of Directors Audit Committees. The Company believes that under the Rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission which implement these provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, it is not required to comply with its requirements relating to the appointment of an independent Audit Committee of its Board of Directors and conforming with the enumerated standards and guidelines because the Company is not a “Listed Company” as defined therein. Notwithstanding, the Company may ultimately be determined to not be incompliance therewith and may therefore face penalties and restrictions on its operations until it comes into full compliance. Additionally, the Company’s failure to comply with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could preclude it from being listed on NASDAQ or any other stock exchanges until it can show that it is in compliance.

Tactica International, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Tactica International, Inc. (the Company) as of February 28, 2003 and 2002, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended. 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 conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit 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 Tactica International, Inc. as of February 28, 2003 and 2002, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

TACTICA INTERNATIONAL, INC.
Notes to Financial Statements
February 28, 2003 and 2002
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Organization
Tactica International, Inc. (Tactica or the Company) sells personal care and household products to major retailers and through direct marketing. On March 14, 2000, the Company entered into an agreement in which substantially all the assets and liabilities of Tactica International, LLC and Health Direct, LLC (collectively, the Predecessor Company) were transferred to the Company.
(b) Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when it ships its product to customers. Customers at times request credits for returned product or in connection with incentives such as cooperative advertising agreements. The Company reduces sales or increases selling, general, and administrative expenses, depending on the nature of the credits, for estimated future credits to customers. Management bases such estimates either on historical information about credits issued, relative to total sales, or on specific knowledge of incentives offered to retailers.
(c) Advertising Expense
Advertising expense is comprised of media, agency, and production expenses. Advertising expenses are charged to expense in the month in which the advertising first takes place. Certain production costs to produce direct response advertising are capitalized and amortized over the expected life of the advertisement.
(d) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, determined on a FIFO (first-in, first-out) basis. Inventories at February 28, 2003 and 2002 consist primarily of finished goods.
(e) Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is capitalized at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the various assets. Expenditures for normal maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The cost of property and equipment sold or otherwise retired and the related accumulated depreciation is removed from the accounts, with any resulting gain or loss included in results from operations.
(f) Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying value amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, as well as operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted 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 income in the period that includes the enactment date.

February 28, 2003 and 2002
(g) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(2) Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable was comprised of the following at February 28:
| | | | | | | |
| | 2003

(4) Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate differed from the statutory federal income tax rate at February 28 due to the following:
| | | | | | |
| | 2003
| | | 2002
| |
Income tax at statutory rate | | 35.0 | % | | 35.0 | |
State and local income tax provision | | 10.0 | | | 10.0 | |
Reversal of valuation allowance | | — | | | (8.0 | ) |
Other | | 2.0 | | | — | |
| |
|
| |
|
|
Effective tax rate | | 47.0 | % | | 37.0 | |
| |
|
| |
|
|
The tax effects of significant temporary differences representing deferred tax assets at February 28 were as follows:
| | | | | | | |
| | 2003
| | | 2002
| |
Uniform capitalization adjustment, depreciation, and amortization | | $ | (764,419 | ) | | (311,630 | ) |
Net operating loss carryforwards | | | 95,263 | | | — | |
Allowance for doubtful accounts | | | 552,221 | | | — | |
Accrued bonus | | | 139,783 | | | — | |
Unearned revenue | | | 96,203 | | | 1,219,099 | |
Other | | | 14,418 | | | — | |
| |
|
|
| |
|
|
Net deferred tax assets | | $ | 133,469 | | | 907,469 | |
| |
|
|
| |
|
|
At February 28, 2001, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $3,482,000, which were fully realized during the year ended February 28, 2002. The realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Certain of the Company’s gross deferred tax assets did not, in the opinion of management, meet that standard as of February 28, 2001. Therefore, the Company had recognized a valuation allowance for those assets. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable could be reduced if estimates of future taxable income during the period are reduced.
The components of income tax expense were as follows:
| | | | | |
| | 2003
| | 2002
|
Current | | $ | 249,419 | | 3,491,000 |
Deferred | | | 774,000 | | 609,000 |
| |
|
| |
|
| | $ | 1,023,419 | | 4,100,000 |

Notes to Financial Statements
February 28, 2003 and 2002
(5) Line of Credit—Majority Stockholder
The Company has a $17,500,000 line of credit with the 55% stockholder in the Company expiring on March 14, 2005. Borrowings under the line of credit bear interest at the prime rate (4.25% and 4.75% at February 28, 2003 and 2002, respectively). Borrowings under the line of credit at February 28, 2003 and 2002 were $14,850,319 and $12,577,858, respectively. The unpaid balance and interest on the line of credit has a maturity date of March 14, 2005. The line of credit contains covenants requiring minimum working capital, net worth, cash flow from operations, and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA). At February 28, 2003 and 2002, the Company was not in compliance with certain of these covenants. Under the provisions of the related loan agreement, the related party could have declared the loans in default and demanded immediate payment. Accordingly, the line of credit has been classified as a current liability at February 28, 2003 and 2002.
(6) Note Payable—Majority Stockholder
The Company has a note payable to the 55% stockholder in the Company. Interest is due quarterly at a rate of 8.75% per annum. The loan is due and payable on March 14, 2005.
(7) Commitments and Contingencies
Beginning in July 2003, the Company leases its office facilities under a noncancelable operating lease expiring in February 2006. Rent expense for the years ended February 28, 2003 and 2002 was $760,691 and $316,069, respectively.
Future minimum rentals for noncancellable operating leases with terms in excess of one year as of February 28, 2003 were as follows:
| | | |
Year ending February 28: | | | |
2004 | | $ | 778,887 |
2005 | | | 778,887 |
2006 | | | 778,887 |
| |
|
|
| | $ | 2,336,661 |
| |
|
|
Included in the results of operations for the years ended February 28, 2003 and 2002 and in accrued expenses at February 28, 2003 and 2002 are costs incurred or accrued related to litigation and contingencies arising in the normal course of business. Management believes that amounts accrued are adequate as of February 28, 2003 and 2002 and that any additional costs that may result from resolution of these contingencies would not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
(8) Significant Customer
During the year ended February 28, 2002, one of the Company’s customers accounted for 15% of net sales.

(9) Related Party Transactions
The Company loaned the three minority stockholders of the Company a total of $3,500,000 on March 14, 2000. The loans bear interest at 8.75% per annum. All principal and unpaid interest on the loans is due and payable March 14, 2005.
During 2002 and part of 2003, the Company occupied office space leased by an entity in which the minority stockholders have an interest. During the years ended February 28, 2003 and 2002, the Company paid approximately $121,000 and $290,000, respectively, for rent on behalf of such entity.

Independent Auditors’ Report
The Board of Directors
Tactica International, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Tactica International, Inc. (the Company) as of February 29, 2004 and February 28, 2003, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended. 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 conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit 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 Tactica International, Inc. as of February 29, 2004 and February 28, 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended 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 suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to 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.

February 29, 2004 and February 28, 2003
(1) | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Tactica International, Inc. (Tactica or the Company) designs, develops, imports, and distributes personal care and household products to major retailers and through direct marketing. We purchase our products from unaffiliated manufacturers, most of which are located in the Peoples’ Republic of China and the U.S. Our financial statements are prepared in U.S. Dollars and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. On March 14, 2000, the Company entered into an agreement in which substantially all the assets and liabilities of Tactica International, LLC and Health Direct, LLC (collectively, the Predecessor Company) were transferred to the Company.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. Losses, negative working capital, and negative cash flows raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to obtain suitable interim financing depends on the availability of borrowing capacity, the success of its growth strategy and its future performance, and its ability to raise additional equity capital, each of which is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory, and other factors beyond the Company’s control. The inability to obtain financing when required would have a material adverse effect on the Company and the implementation of its growth strategy. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The Company recognizes revenue when it ships its product to customers. Customers at times request credits for returned product or in connection with incentives such as cooperative advertising agreements. The Company reduces sales or increases selling, general, and administrative expenses, depending on the nature of the credits, for estimated future credits to customers. Management bases such estimates either on historical information about credits issued, relative to total sales, or on specific knowledge of incentives offered to retailers.
| (d) | Consideration Paid to Customers |
We offer our customers certain incentives in the form of cooperative advertising arrangements, product markdown allowances, trade discounts, cash discounts, and slotting fees. We account for these incentives in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 01-9,Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer, (EITF 01-9). In instances where the customer is required to provide us with proof of performance, reductions in amounts received from customers as a result of cooperative advertising programs are included in our Statements of Operations on the line entitled Other. Other reductions in amounts received from customers as a result of cooperative advertising programs are recorded as reductions of Net sales. Markdown allowances, trade discounts, and cash discounts are all recorded as reductions of Net sales. Customer incentives included in Other were $2,033,000 and $1,651,000 for fiscal years 2004 and 2003, respectively.

| (e) | Shipping and Handling Revenues and Expenses |
We report revenue from shipping and handling charges on the Net sales line of our Statements of Operations, in accordance with paragraph 5 of Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 00-10,Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs. We only include charges for shipping and handling in Net sales for sales made to direct response customers and retail customers ordering relatively small dollar amounts of product. Our shipping and handling expenses far exceed our shipping and handling revenues. Shipping and handling expenses are included in our Statements of Operations on the Other operating expenses line. Our expenses for shipping and handling totaled $4,574,000 and $6,946,000 during fiscal years ended 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Advertising expense is comprised of media, agency, and production expenses. Advertising expenses are charged to expense in the month in which the advertising first takes place. Certain production costs to produce direct response advertising are capitalized and amortized over the expected life of the advertisement.
| (g) | Valuation of Accounts Receivable |
Our allowance for doubtful accounts reflects our best estimate of probable losses, determined principally on the basis of historical experience and specific allowances for known troubled accounts.
| (h) | Inventories and Cost of Goods Sold |
Inventories at February 29, 2004 and February 28, 2003 consist almost entirely of finished goods. We account for inventory using a first-in-first-out system in which we record inventory on our balance sheets at the lower of our cost or net realizable value. A product’s cost is comprised of the amount that we pay our manufacturer for product, tariffs and duties associated with transporting product across national borders and freight costs associated with transporting the product from our manufacturers to our warehouse locations. When circumstances dictate that we use net realizable value in lieu of cost, we base our estimates on expected future selling prices less expected disposal costs. The Cost of goods sold line item on the Statements of Operations is comprised of the book value (lower of cost or net realizable value) of inventory sold to customers during the reporting period.
| (i) | Property and Equipment |
Property and equipment is capitalized at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the various assets. Expenditures for normal maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The cost of property and equipment sold or otherwise retired and the related accumulated depreciation is removed from the accounts, with any resulting gain or loss included in results from operations.

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying value amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, as well as operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted 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 income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Certain amounts have been reclassified in the prior year to conform with the current presentation.
| (m) | New Accounting Guidance |
On April 30, 2003, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 149,Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, (SFAS 149). These amendments clarify the definition of derivatives, expand the nature of exemptions from Statement 133, clarify the application of hedge accounting when using certain instruments and modify the cash flow presentation of derivative instruments that contain financing elements. The Statement clarifies the accounting for option-based contracts used as hedging instruments in a cash flow hedge of the variability of the functional-currency-equivalent cash flows for a recognized foreign-currency-denominated asset or liability that is re-measured at spot exchange rates. This approach was issued to alleviate income statement volatility that is generated by the mark-to-market accounting of an option’s time value component. This Statement is effective for all derivative transactions and hedging relationships entered into or modified after June 30, 2003. We currently do not have any derivative instruments nor have we engaged in hedging activities that are covered under this statement.
In May 2003, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 150,Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity, (SFAS 150). This statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures in its statement of financial position certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that issuers classify as liabilities a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability because that financial instrument embodies an obligation of the issuer. This Statement does not affect the timing of recognition of financial instruments as contingent consideration nor does it apply to obligations

under stock-based compensation arrangements if those obligations are accounted for under APB Opinion No. 25. We are still reviewing the effects of SFAS 150 on our financial statements. We currently do not have any financial instruments that are covered under this statement.
In December 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46R (FIN 46R),Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, (FIN 46R). FIN 46R replaces the same titled FIN 46 that was issued in January 2003. FIN 46R identifies when entities must be consolidated with the financial statements of a company where the investors in an entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or the entity does not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. Application of this Interpretation is effective for any financial statements we issue after December 15, 2003. We have no interests in any entities, therefore, FIN 46R had no effect on our financial statements.

At February 29, 2004, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $5,957,000, which will be fully realized during the year ending February 28, 2005. The realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Based on the purchase of the 55% interest of the majority stockholder, along with the debt forgiveness of the $17,161,000 of secured debt and accrued interest, management expects a positive effect on future levels of taxable income. With this, Tactica expects the realization of the majority, or all, of the deferred tax asset.
As of the end of fiscal year 2004, the net operating loss carryforwards included in the gross deferred tax asset totaling $4,297,788 will expire if not utilized by fiscal year 2024.

(5) | Line of Credit – Majority Stockholder |
The Company had a $17,500,000 line of credit with the 55% stockholder in the Company expiring on March 14, 2005. Borrowings under the line of credit bore interest at the prime rate (4.0% and 4.25% at February 29, 2004 and February 28, 2003, respectively). Borrowings under the line of credit at February 29, 2004 and February 28, 2003 were $13,665,109 and $14,850,319, respectively. The unpaid balance and interest on the line of credit has a maturity date of March 14, 2005. The line of credit contains covenants requiring minimum working capital, net worth, cash flow from operations, and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA). At February 29, 2004 and February 28, 2003, the Company was not in compliance with certain of these covenants. Under the provisions of the related loan agreement, the related party could have declared the loans in default and demanded immediate payment. Accordingly, the line of credit has been classified as a current liability at February 29, 2004 and February 28, 2003. See note 9.
(6) | Note Payable – Majority Stockholder |
As of February 29, 2004 and February 28, 2003 the Company had a note payable to the 55% stockholder in the Company. Interest was due quarterly at a rate of 8.75% per annum. The loan was due and payable on March 14, 2005. See note 9.
(7) | Commitments and Contingencies |
Beginning in July 2003, the Company leases its office facilities under a noncancelable operating lease expiring in February 2006. Rent expense for years ended February 29, 2004 and the year ended February 28, 2003 was $823,446 and $760,691, respectively.
Future remaining minimum rentals for noncancelable operating leases with terms in excess of one year as of February 29, 2004 were as follows:
| | | |
2005 | | $ | 778,887 |
2006 | | | 778,887 |
| |
|
|
| | $ | 1,557,774 |

|
|
Included in the results of operations for the years ended February 29, 2004 and February 28, 2003 and in accrued expenses at February 29, 2004 and February 28, 2003 are costs incurred or accrued related to litigation and contingencies arising in the normal course of business. Management believes that amounts accrued are adequate as of February 29, 2004 and February 28, 2003 and that any additional costs that may result from resolution of these contingencies would not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

(8) | Related Party Transactions |
The Company loaned the three minority stockholders of the Company a total of $3,500,000 on March 14, 2000. The loans bore interest at 8.75% per annum. All principal and unpaid interest on the loans is due and payable March 14, 2005.
During 2002 and part of 2003, the Company occupied office space leased by an entity in which the minority stockholders have an interest. During the years ended February 29, 2004 and February 28, 2003, the Company paid approximately $-0- and $121,000, respectively, for rent on behalf of such entity.
On April 29, 2004, the Company and its stockholders entered into a series of transactions that consolidated ownership of Tactica and reduced the working capital deficiency. The stockholder-operating managers, who collectively owned a 45% interest in the Company, contributed $3,050,000 in marketable securities to Tactica. The majority stockholder transferred its 55% interest in Tactica to the stockholder-operating managers and accepted the marketable securities and rights to certain Tactica tax refunds and intellectual properties in full satisfaction of $17,161,000 owed by Tactica under the secured line of credit and loan payable. In connection with these transactions, the Company’s loans to the minority stockholders were eliminated.

(Formerly Diva Entertainment, Inc.)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
August 31, 2004
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE A - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General
IGIA, Inc., formerly Diva Entertainment, Inc. (the “Company”, “Registrant” or “IGIA”), is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Tactica International, Inc. (“Tactica”) designs, develops, imports, and distributes personal care and household products to major retailers and through direct marketing. We purchase our products from unaffiliated manufacturers most of which are located in the People’s Republic of China and the United States.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Accordingly, the results from operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended August 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending February 28, 2005. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated February 29, 2004 audited financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Form 8-K for June 11, 2004, as amended for August 26, 2004.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Registrant and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Tactica. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Chapter 11 Reorganization
On October 21, 2004, Tactica, which accounts for all of the current operations of the Company, filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”). IGIA is not seeking bankruptcy protection. Tactica remains in possession of its assets and the management of its property as a debtor in possession under Sections 1107 and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code. On October 25, 2004, the Bankruptcy Court approved, on an interim basis, a Stipulation and Consent Order (the “Stipulation”) with Innotrac Corporation (“Innotrac”) (a copy of the Stipulation and the Order approving the Stipulation on an interim basis, are filed as an exhibit to the Form 8-K for October 21, 2004, filed by IGIA). A hearing on final approval of the Stipulation has been scheduled for November 18, 2004.
��
In the ordinary course of Tactica’s business, Innotrac warehouses Tactica’s products, processes orders and inventory and ships these products to Tactica’s customers. Tactica asserts that the value of its inventory held at Innotrac’s facility is approximately $9 million. Innotrac informed Tactica that Innotrac would not permit Tactica to remove its inventory stored with Innotrac unless Tactica paid Innotrac all amounts allegedly due. Despite numerous attempts to obtain financing prior to its filing for bankruptcy protection, Tactica was unable to do so. As a result of the foregoing factors, Tactica did not have a sufficient available source of working capital to continue its normal operation of business. Although Tactica and Innotrac attempted to reach an out of court agreement to resolve the terms of payment to Innotrac, the terms could not be agreed upon. The parties agreed upon the terms of the Stipulation which contemplated the filing of a bankruptcy petition and Bankruptcy Court approval.
The Stipulation provides for a mechanism which enables Tactica to have its inventory shipped and sold to its customers. Pursuant to the Stipulation, Innotrac agrees to release its lien with respect to Tactica’s inventory at the time such inventory is released for shipments to customers. With respect to the first $1.6 million in customer orders, Tactica shall pay Innotrac 55% of the sales proceeds promptly upon receipt of customer payments and Tactica will retain the remainder for its working capital. With respect to subsequent customer orders, Tactica shall pay Innotrac 60% of the sales proceeds upon receipt of customer payments and retain the remainder. The proceeds paid to Innotrac shall reduce the agreed upon $2,753,281 of debt owed by Tactica to Innotrac, plus to the extend allowable under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable law, pre-petition interest and post-petition interest, fees, cost, charges and expenses including attorney’s fees.
Following the interim approval of the Stipulation by the Bankruptcy Court on October 25, 2004, Innotrac began processing, packing and releasing Tactica’s inventory for fulfillment of customer orders.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The bankruptcy petition losses, negative working capital and net worth of Tactica raise substantial doubt about Tactica’s ability to continue as a going concern. Tactica’s ability to obtain suitable interim financing depends on the availability of its borrowing capacity, the success of its growth strategy and its future performance, each of which is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory, and other factors beyond the Company’s control. The inability to obtain financing when required would have a material adverse effect on the Company and the implementation of its business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Stock-Based Compensation
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure-an amendment of SFAS 123.” This statement amends SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary charge to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this statement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The Company has not yet adopted any stock-based compensation plans.
G - 6
Reclassification
Certain reclassifications have been made to conform to prior periods’ data to the current presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported losses.
G - 7
NOTE B - ACQUISITION AND CAPITAL RESTRUCTURE
On June 11, 2004, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (“Merger”) with Diva Entertainment, Inc. (“Diva”) an inactive publicly registered shell corporation with no significant assets or operations. In accordance with SFAS No. 141, the Company was the acquiring entity. While the transaction is accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, in substance the Agreement is a recapitalization of the Company’s capital structure.
For accounting purposes, the Company has accounted for the transaction as a reverse acquisition and the Company shall be the surviving entity. From July 1999, until the date of the Merger, DIVA was an inactive entity, with no operations. The Company did not recognize goodwill or any intangible assets in connection with the transaction.
Effective with the Merger, all previously outstanding common stock owned by the Company’s shareholders were exchanged for an aggregate of 12,400,000 shares of the DIVA’s Common Stock and 261,000 shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock. The value of the stock that was issued was the historical cost of the DIVA’s net tangible assets, which did not differ materially from their fair value.
Subsequent to the Merger, DIVA changed its name to IGIA, Inc.
The accompanying financial statements present the historical financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company prior to the merger with DIVA.
NOTE C - CAPITAL STOCK
We are authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, of which 261,574 have been designated Series E Convertible Preferred Stock. As of August 31, 2004, we had 17,913,140 shares of Common Stock, and 261,574 shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.
Common Stock.
Our authorized common equity consists of 100,000,000 shares of a single class of Common Stock, having a par value of $0.001 per share. As of August 31, 2004, IGIA had issued and outstanding a total of 17,913,140 shares of Common Stock (not including the 26,157,421 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series E Convertible Preferred Stock). The holders of our Common Stock have no cumulative voting rights or preemptive rights.
The Company issued 1,250,000 shares of Common Stock to its financial advisors upon closing of the Merger.
Preferred Stock
We are authorized to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, having a par value of $0.001 per share. Our preferred stock may be issued in one or more series, the terms of which may be determined at the time of issuance by our board of directors, without further action by stockholders, and may include voting rights (including the right to vote as a series on particular matters), preferences as to dividends and liquidation, conversion, redemption rights and sinking fund provisions. The issuance of preferred stock could reduce the rights, including voting rights, of the holders of Common Stock, and, therefore, reduce the value of our Common Stock. In particular, specific rights granted to future holders of preferred stock could be used to restrict our ability to merge with or sell our assets to a third party, thereby preserving control of IGIA by existing management.
Subsequent to the Merger, the Company and certain of its vendors agreed to convert approximately $3.6 million of accounts payable into company equity for which the Company issued an additional 574 shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock.
G - 8
Current holders of our preferred stock (i) have general ratable rights to dividends from funds legally available therefore, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors; (ii) are entitled to share ratably in all assets available for distribution to stockholders upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs; (iii) do not have preemptive, subscription or conversion rights, nor are there any redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable thereto; and (iv) are entitled to one vote per share on all matters on which stockholders may vote at all stockholder meetings. The preferred stock does not have cumulative voting rights.
Series E Convertible Preferred Stock
As of August 31, 2004, there were 261,574 shares of our Series E Convertible Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. All issued and outstanding shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock will automatically convert into an aggregate of 26,157,421 shares of our Common Stock upon satisfaction of certain shareholder requirements.
NOTE D - CONTINGENCIES AND SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On October 21, 2004, Tactica filed a voluntary petition for relief in Bankruptcy Court. All of Tactica’s liabilities reported on the Registrant’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of August 31, 2004 included herein are pre-petition liabilities that are subject to a Court supervised and approved resolution and include approximately $5 million of secured liabilities and $9 million of unsecured liabilities.
Included in pre-petition liabilities are chargeback claims made by a single retail customer that exceed Tactica’s total accounts receivable from that customer by approximately $3 million, of which approximately $2 million in claims were transferred by the retail customer to Helen of Troy, the former 55% shareholder of Tactica. In accordance with the April 29, 2004 agreement with Helen of Troy, as further described herein, Tactica granted Helen of Troy a security interest in its accounts receivable from the customer and Tactica is to remit any payments received from the customer to Helen of Troy. No payments have been received to date and none are expected in the foreseeable future.

History
IGIA was incorporated in the State of Delaware under the name Quasar Projects Company for the purpose of merging with or acquiring a company with operations and assets. From its inception through April 28, 1999, we generated nominal revenues and did not actively engage in business.
On April 28, 1999, we acquired Diva Entertainment, Inc., a Florida corporation, which was engaged in the business of operating and managing two wholly owned talent management companies: Prima Eastwest Model Management, Inc., a California corporation, and Que Management Inc., a New York corporation. At that time, we changed our name to Diva Entertainment, Inc. From April 28, 1999 through June 10, 2004, we were in the business of representing professional fashion models, commercial actors and theatrical actors.
On June 11, 2004, we entered into the Securities Purchase Agreement pursuant to which we acquired our wholly owned subsidiary Tactica International, Inc. and sold our former subsidiary Diva Entertainment, Inc.
G - 9
Since June 11, 2004, we have been in the business of the direct marketing and distribution of proprietary and branded personal care and home care products. We are no longer in the business of talent management.
General Background
IGIA, through its wholly owned operating subsidiary, Tactica International, Inc. (“Tactica”), is a leading direct marketer and distributor of proprietary and branded personal care and home care products. Tactica has a niche position within the direct marketing industry, a market which the “Direct Marketing Association” expects to grow from $2 to $3 trillion dollars in annual sales within the next five years. Tactica also sells through major retail chains and mail order catalogs and on Tactica’s website.
Tactica is managed by an experienced, innovative and management team that has proven its ability to develop, launch, market and distribute new products through a carefully planned and coordinated campaign that assures widespread consumer awareness of the products, and easy access to a variety of purchasing channels. The management team is headed by Avi Sivan, Tactica’s founder and Chief Executive Officer, and Prem Ramchandani, Tactica’s President. They have been the driving force in making IGIA a player in the Direct Response Television (DRTV) industry. They spearheaded the launching of numerous, innovative products through a four-pronged marketing approach that includes print, TV, mail order and retail. Mr. Sivan is one of the pioneers of the industry and the creator of the IGIA(R) brand of products. Tactica has been successful in utilizing infomercials as a marketing channel to sell products.
In March 2000, a majority interest in Tactica was purchased by Helen of Troy Limited or HoT, a developer and marketer of personal care products. The transaction gave Tactica access to capital to expand marketing and distribution. Tactica expanded its focus on distribution and more than doubled the number of retail outlets carrying Tactica’s products to more than 45,000 worldwide. On April 29, 2004, Tactica’s management purchased back the 55% interest in Tactica held by HoT. In exchange for HoT’s 55% interest and approximately $17 million of secured Tactica debt and accrued interest payable, HoT received marketable securities, intellectual properties, including the Epil-Stop(R) brand, and the right to certain Tactica tax refunds.
All of IGIA’s current operations occur in our Tactica subsidiary, which we acquired as of June 11, 2004. IGIA does not currently have any operations at the parent level.
Chapter 11 Reorganization
On October 21, 2004, Tactica, which accounts for all of the current operations of the Company, filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”). IGIA is not seeking bankruptcy protection. Tactica remains in possession of its assets and the management of its property as a debtor in possession under Sections 1107 and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code. On October 25, 2004, the Bankruptcy Court approved, on an interim basis, a Stipulation and Consent Order (the “Stipulation”) with Innotrac Corporation (“Innotrac”) (a copy of the Stipulation and the Order approving the Stipulation on an interim basis, are filed as an exhibit to the Form 8-K for October 21, 2004, filed by IGIA). A hearing on final approval of the Stipulation has been scheduled for November 18, 2004.
In the ordinary course of Tactica’s business, Innotrac warehouses Tactica’s products, processes orders and inventory and ships these products to Tactica’s customers. Tactica asserts that the value of its inventory held at Innotrac’s facility is approximately $9 million. Innotrac informed Tactica that Innotrac would not permit Tactica to remove its inventory stored with Innotrac unless Tactica paid Innotrac all amounts allegedly due. Despite numerous attempts to obtain financing prior to its filing for bankruptcy protection, Tactica was unable to do so. As a result of the foregoing factors, Tactica did not have a sufficient available source of working capital to continue its normal operation of business. Although Tactica and Innotrac attempted to reach an out of court agreement to resolve the terms of payment to Innotrac, the terms could not be agreed upon. The parties agreed upon the terms of the Stipulation which contemplated the filing of a bankruptcy petition and Bankruptcy Court approval.
The Stipulation provides for a mechanism which enables Tactica to have its inventory shipped and sold to its customers. Pursuant to the Stipulation, Innotrac agrees to release its lien with respect to Tactica’s inventory at the time such inventory is released for shipments to customers. With respect to the first $1.6 million in customer orders, Tactica shall pay Innotrac 55% of the sales proceeds promptly upon receipt of customer payments and Tactica will retain the remainder for its working capital. With respect to subsequent customer orders, Tactica shall pay Innotrac 60% of the sales proceeds upon receipt of customer payments and retain the remainder. The proceeds paid to Innotrac shall reduce the agreed upon $2,753,281 of debt owed by Tactica to Innotrac, plus to the extend allowable under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable law, pre-petition interest and post-petition interest, fees, cost, charges and expenses including attorney’s fees.
Following the interim approval of the Stipulation by the Bankruptcy Court on October 25, 2004, Innotrac began processing, packing and releasing Tactica’s inventory for fulfillment of customer orders.
COMPARISON OF THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2004 TO THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2003
Results of Operations
Revenues
IGIA through its wholly owned subsidiary Tactica, sells a variety of personal care and other products to retailers (the “retail segment”) and directly to consumers (the “direct response segment”). Tactica uses television and print media advertising extensively to promote sales in both segments. Our total revenues were $1,987,000 for the three-month period ended August 31, 2004 compared to $10,447,000 for the same period ended August 31, 2003, a decrease of $8,460,000, or 81.0%. Our total revenues were $8,572,000 for the six-month period ended August 31, 2004 compared to $25,712,000 for the same period ended August 31, 2003, a decrease of $17,140,000, or 66.7%. The decreases in revenue for the three and six month periods ended August 31, 2004 as compared to the same periods for the prior fiscal year were primarily the result of the effects of our reduced spending on media advertising, order fulfillment services, and product purchases.
In the ordinary course of its business, Innotrac provided warehousing, sale order processing and fulfillment services to Tactica provided that the balance owed for such services was within an acceptable range. At times during the six months ended August 31, 2004, due to our low level of working capital, sales order processing was temporarily suspended. In addition, we invested less in acquiring new inventory which has delayed fulfillment of customer orders.
G - 10
We incur chargeback claims, primarily product returns, from our retailer customers which reduce our revenues. We have incurred a high level of chargebacks for our products, especially Epil-Stop(R), that we sold as a result of the reduction in our promotional efforts that stimulated retail sales of our products. In addition, the launch of Epil-Stop(R) Wipe-Aways, a new hair removal product, was not promoted extensively and did not produce as much revenues as anticipated, and is resulting in significant retail chargebacks. Under terms of an April 29, 2004 agreement, we transferred all rights to the Epil-Stop(R) brand to Helen of Troy and they granted us a three-year license to sell Epil-Stop(R) products to customers outside of North America, Central America, South America and the Caribbean. Our accrued chargeback reserve provides for estimated chargeback claims and it was significantly increased during the three- and six- month periods ended August 31, 2004 to account for chargebacks for Epil-Stop(R) products, now that we do not support the brand in the U.S., and other of our products.
Our sales of Epil-Stop(R) products to international customers are not significantly influenced by U.S. television advertising and are generally not subject to returns. Future Epil-Stop(R) sales to international customers are expected to be largely unaffected by sales and marketing activities in the U.S.
Gross Profit
The Company’s gross profit was negative $204,000 or negative 10.3% for the three months ended August 31, 2004 versus $5,934,000 or 56.8% for the three months ended August 31, 2003. The Company’s gross profit was $3,593,000 or 41.9% for the six months ended August 31, 2004 versus $15,167,000 or 59.0% for the six months ended August 31, 2003. The $6,138,000 and $11,574,000 decreases in gross profit for the three and six month periods, respectively, are primarily the result of the decreases in revenue. Our gross profit percentages decreased in part due to increased sales of excess inventory to specialty retailers at reduced prices in the three and six month periods ended August 31, 2004, as compared to August 31, 2003. In addition, the Company’s gross profits in the current fiscal year have been reduced for the write down of its inventory to estimated market value, when such value is below cost.
Costs and Expenses
Selling, general and administrative (“S G & A”) expenses for the three-month period ended August 31, 2004 decreased $3,599,000 from $9,751,000 to $6,152,000, or 36.9% as compared to the same period in 2003. S G & A expenses for the six-month period ended August 31, 2004 decreased $8,661,000 from $18,094,000 to $9,433,000, or 47.9% as compared to the same period in 2003. We spent $3,749,000 and $7,263,000 or 98.6% and 94.1% less on media advertising in the three and six months ended August 31, 2004 as compared to the same periods in the prior fiscal year, respectively. We use television infomercials and print advertisements to sell our products directly to consumers and to increase awareness of the products we sell to retailers. Media advertising requires Tactica to make upfront investments of its working capital, which we have moderated to in recognition of the company’s level of working capital until such time as additional funds are raised. Our promotional efforts for Epil-Stop products were significantly lower in the six-month period ended August 31, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003 due in part to the April 29, 2004 transfer of its Epil-Stop brand to Helen of Troy. The Company also reduced personnel, warehouse operations costs and other general and administrative expense in connection with the lower level of sales activity. During the three months ended August 31, 2004, the Company recorded a one-time expense of $3,275,000 for financial advisory fees that were incurred in connection with the June 2004 reverse merger transaction. The fees consisted of 1,250,000 shares of IGIA Common Stock issued and paid to its financial advisor upon the closing of the June 11, 2004 reverse merger transaction.
Interest Expense
The Company incurred net interest expense of $24,000 and $153,000 during the three-month periods ended August 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Company incurred interest expense of $118,000 and $314,000 during the six-month periods ended August 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The decreases are due to the elimination on April 29, 2004 of Tactica’s line of credit with Helen of Troy and resulting interest expense charges.
G - 11
Net Loss
Our net loss for the quarter ended August 31, 2004 was $6,061,000 in contrast to a $2,101,000 net loss for the quarter ended August 31, 2003. Our net loss for the six-months ended August 31, 2004 was $5,825,000 in contrast to a $1,390,000 net loss for the six-months ended August 31, 2003. The Company’s losses are attributable to decreased revenues and gross profits that were not fully offset by the decreases in operating expenses. In addition, the Company incurred a $3,275,000 one-time financial advisory fee in connection with the June 2004 reverse merger that was paid in IGIA Common Stock.
Our net loss per common share (basic and diluted) was $0.34 and $0.12 for the three months ended August 31, 2004 and August 31, 2003, respectively. Our net loss per common share (basic and diluted) was $0.33 for the six months ended August 31, 2004 and $0.08 for the six months ended August 31, 2003.
The weighted average number of outstanding shares were 17,913,140 for the three and six months ended August 31, 2004, and August 31, 2003 respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of August 31, 2004, the Company had a $4 million working capital deficit and negative net worth. As of February 29, 2004, Tactica had a working capital deficit in excess of $12 million and negative net worth of approximately $11 million. As a result of the April 29, 2004 transaction between Tactica, Helen of Troy, and the minority shareholders of Tactica, Tactica eliminated approximately $17 million in secured debt and improved its position to obtain additional financing. The June 11, 2004 reverse merger between Tactica and IGIA gave the Company access to public markets for financing and enabled Tactica to convert approximately $3.6 million of accounts payable into Series E Convertible Preferred Stock.
Despite the transaction with Helen of Troy, the Company has not yet been able to raise additional working capital. As a result of the foregoing factors, Tactica did not have a sufficient available source of working capital to satisfy a demand by Innotrac that Tactica immediately pay all amounts allegedly due to Innotrac and continue its normal operation of business. Tactica and Innotrac agreed upon the terms of a Stipulation which contemplated the filing of a bankruptcy petition that was subsequently made and approved on an interim basis by the Bankruptcy Court.
Management believes that the Stipulation and bankruptcy petition may create the opportunity to provide the Company with funds to operate and to attract debtor in possession financing or an acquiror of Tactica’s business. We plan to use the additional cash to increase revenues, which have been constrained, in part, due to limited available working capital needed to purchase order fulfillment services, product to fill customer orders and to run television advertising. Management believes that the additional funds would enable IGIA to promote direct sales of its Singer® line of floor care products and launch sales through retail outlets thereafter. Management expects that increased sales and marketing activities would also enable IGIA to stimulate sales of its IGIÁ(R) product lines. By revitalizing sales and marketing activities, Tactica expects to improve its ability to bring to market new products, including products under its own brands and licensed products.
G - 12
If the Company is unable to service it financial obligations as they become due, it will be required to adopt alternative strategies, which may include, but are not limited to, actions such as further reducing management and employee headcount and compensation, attempting to further restructure financial obligations and/or seeking a strategic merger, acquisition or a sale of assets. There can be no assurance that any of these strategies could be affected on satisfactory terms.
The effect of inflation on the Company’s revenue and operating results was not significant. The Company’s operations are located in North America and there are no seasonal aspects that would have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
Trends, Risks and Uncertainties
We have sought to identify what we believe to be the most significant risks to our business, but we cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks may be realized nor can we guarantee that we have identified all possible risks that might arise. Investors should carefully consider all of such risk factors before making an investment decision with respect to our Common Stock.
IGIA FACES POTENTIAL FLUCTUATIONS IN QUARTERLY OPERATING RESULTS.
IGIA’s quarterly operating results may fluctuate significantly in the future as a result of a variety of factors, most of which are outside IGIA’s control, including:
IGIA’s quarterly results may also be significantly impacted by the accounting treatment of acquisitions, financing transactions or other matters. Due to the foregoing factors, among others, it is likely that IGIA’s operating results will fall below the expectations of IGIA or investors in some future period.
IGIA’S COMMON STOCK TRADES IN A LIMITED PUBLIC MARKET, THE NASD OTC ELECTRONIC BULLETIN BOARD; ACCORDINGLY, INVESTORS FACE POSSIBLE VOLATILITY OF SHARE PRICE.
IGIA’s common stock is currently quoted on the NASD OTC Bulletin Board under the ticker symbol IGAI.OB. As of the date of this Report, there were approximately 17,913,140 shares of common stock outstanding, of which approximately 5,500,000 were tradable without restriction under the Securities Act.
IGIA entered the fiscal second quarter of 2005 facing an assortment of significant challenges. The Company is undertaking a complete analysis of its strategic plan and day-to-day operations. Each strategy requires the influx of additional working capital. Management and members of the
G - 13
Company’s board of directors are in active discussions with several sources of potential financing, including acquisition by a company with greater financial resources. No assurance can be given that sufficient capital can be obtained to meet the Company’s existing financial obligations and continue its operations. If capital is not made available to the Company immediately, the Company may have no alternative but to liquidate Tactica and seek to acquire another business.
There can be no assurance that a trading market will be sustained in the future. Factors such as, but not limited to, technological innovations, new products, acquisitions or strategic alliances entered into by IGIA or its competitors, failure to meet security analysts’ expectations, government regulatory action, patent or proprietary rights developments, and market conditions for technology stocks in general could have a material effect on the liquidity of IGIA’s common stock and volatility of IGIA’s stock price.
IGIA’S FUTURE OPERATIONS ARE CONTINGENT ON ITS ABILITY TO MANAGE ITS GROWTH, IF ANY.
In the event IGIA is able to obtain necessary funding, IGIA expects to experience growth in the number of employees and the scope of its operations. In particular, IGIA may hire additional sales, marketing, content acquisition and administrative personnel. Additionally, acquisitions could result in an increase in employee headcount and business activity. Such activities could result in increased responsibilities for management. IGIA believes that its ability to increase its customer support capability and to attract, train, and retain qualified technical, sales, marketing, and management personnel, will be a critical factor to its future success.
Further, IGIA’s future success will be highly dependent upon its ability to successfully manage the expansion of its operations. IGIA’s ability to manage and support its growth effectively will be substantially dependent on its ability to: implement adequate improvements to financial and management controls, reporting and order entry systems, and other procedures and hire sufficient numbers of financial, accounting, administrative, and management personnel. IGIA’s expansion and the resulting growth in the number of its employees would result in increased responsibility for both existing and new management personnel. IGIA is in the process of establishing and upgrading its financial accounting and procedures. IGIA may not be able to identify, attract, and retain experienced accounting and financial personnel. IGIA’s future operating results will depend on the ability of its management and other key employees to implement and improve its systems for operations, financial control, and information management, and to recruit, train, and manage its employee base. IGIA may not be able to achieve or manage any such growth successfully or to implement and maintain adequate financial and management controls and procedures, and any inability to do so would have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations, and financial condition.
IGIA’s future success depends upon its ability to address potential market opportunities while managing its expenses to match its ability to finance its operations. This need to manage its expenses will place a significant strain on IGIA’s management and operational resources. If IGIA is unable to manage its expenses effectively, the Company may be unable to finance its operations.
IGIA FACES RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH FUTURE ACQUISITIONS, IF ANY.
As part of its business strategy, IGIA expects to acquire assets and businesses relating to or complementary to its operations. These acquisitions by IGIA will involve risks commonly encountered in acquisitions of companies. These risks include, among other things, the following:
| • | IGIA may be exposed to unknown liabilities of the acquired companies; |
G - 14
| • | IGIA may incur acquisition costs and expenses higher than it anticipated; Fluctuations in IGIA’s quarterly and annual operating results may occur due to the costs and expenses of acquiring and integrating new businesses; |
| • | IGIA may experience difficulties and expenses in assimilating the operations and personnel of the acquired businesses; |
| • | IGIA’s ongoing business may be disrupted and its management’s time and attention diverted; and |
| • | IGIA may be unable to integrate successfully. |
Item 3. Controls and Procedures
| (a) | Evaluation of Disclosure controls and Procedures |
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures, which, by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding management’s control objectives.
We have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the evaluation date.
Based upon that evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the evaluation date.
| (a) | Changes in internal controls |
There were no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the evaluation date.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
In the ordinary course of business, the Registrant may be involved in legal proceedings from time to time. Although occasional adverse decisions or settlements may occur, management believes that the final disposition of such matters will not have material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
On October 21, 2004, the Registrant’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Tactica International, Inc., filed a voluntary petition for relief in bankruptcy court. The Registrant is not a party to the bankruptcy petition. See Note A of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
