PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
The following summary highlights selected information contained in this
prospectus. This summary does not contain all the information you should
consider before investing in the securities. Before making an investment
decision, you should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the "RISK
FACTORS" section, the financial statements and the notes to the financial
statements.
LEVIN TEXTILES INTERNATIONAL INC.
We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on July 7,
2004 to act as a holding company for our wholly-owned subsidiary, Levin
Industries Ltd. Levin Industries is a sales and marketing company based in
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Levin Industries' goal it is to generate
manufacturing contracts and place them in manufacturing facilities in North
America and Asia. Levin Industries receives a fixed commission for the
procurement of these contracts. Levin Industries also intends to acquire
minority interests in manufacturing facilities in Asia. We are a development
stage business and have had nominal revenues since our formation. There is
currently no public market for our common stock. Subsequent to this offering, we
hope to have our common stock approved for quotation on the Over-The-Counter
Bulletin Board.
We have incurred losses since our inception and we expect to incur losses
for the foreseeable future. For the period from February 16, 2004 (date of
inception) to November 30, 2004, we incurred a net loss of $24,516. As a result
of operating losses from inception and our being a development stage company,
these issues raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern.
Our principal executive offices are located at 315 E. 2nd Avenue,
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V5T 1B9. Our telephone number is (604)
215-3294.
Offering Summary
Selling stockholders are offering for resale up to 939,500 shares of our
common stock which they currently own. We will not be involved in the offer or
sale of these shares other than registering such shares for resale pursuant to
this prospectus.
We are offering up to 2,500,000 shares of its common stock in order to
raise up to $250,000 of proceeds to be used in our business operations.
1
RISK FACTORS
Our business involves a high degree of risk. Potential investors should
carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and the other
information in this prospectus before deciding whether to invest in shares of
our common stock. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business,
financial condition, and results of operations could be materially and adversely
affected. This could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline,
with the loss of part or all of an investment in the common stock.
Risks Related to Our Business
- -----------------------------
Our financial status creates doubt whether we will continue as a going concern
for more than 12 months from the date of this prospectus. If we do not continue
as a going concern, investors will lose their entire investment.
We reported a net loss totaling $24,516 from February 16, 2004, our date
of inception, until November 30, 2004. We will require additional working
capital to develop business operations. We intend to raise additional working
capital either through private placements, public offerings and/or bank
financing. There are no assurances that we will be able to achieve a level of
revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations or obtain
additional financing through private placements, public offerings and/or bank
financing necessary to support our working capital requirements. To the extent
that funds generated from any private placements, public offerings and/or bank
financing are insufficient, we will have to raise additional working capital. No
assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if
available, will be on acceptable terms. These conditions raise substantial doubt
about our ability to continue as a going concern. If adequate working capital is
not available we may be forced to discontinue operations, which would cause
investors to lose the entire amount of their investment.
We are a development stage company and have a limited operating history upon
which an evaluation of our prospects can be made. For that reason, it would be
difficult for a potential investor to judge our prospects for success.
We were organized in July 2004 and our operating subsidiary was organized
in February 2004 and have had limited operations since our inception from which
to evaluate our business and prospects. There can be no assurance that our
future proposed operations will be implemented successfully or that we will ever
have profits. If we are unable to sustain our operations, you may lose your
entire investment. We face all the risks inherent in a new business, including
the expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered in
connection with conducting operations, including capital requirements and
management's potential underestimation of initial and ongoing costs. In
evaluating our business and prospects, these difficulties should be considered.
We need significant infusions of additional capital, which may result in
dilution to your ownership and voting rights in our Company.
Based upon our current cash reserves and forecasted operations, we believe
that we will need to obtain at least $1 million in outside funding to implement
our plan of operation over the next twelve months. Although we are seeking to
raise up to $250,000 in this offering, there is no assurance that this amount or
any meaningful amount can be raised in this offering. Our need for additional
capital to finance our business strategy, operations, and growth will be greater
should, among other things, revenue or expense estimates prove to be incorrect.
If we fail to arrange for sufficient capital in the future, we may be required
to reduce the scope of our business activities until we can obtain adequate
financing. We may not be able to obtain additional financing in sufficient
amounts or on acceptable terms when needed, which could adversely affect our
operating results and prospects. Debt financing must be repaid regardless of
whether or not we generate profits or cash flows from our business activities.
Equity financing may result in dilution to existing stockholders and may involve
securities that have rights, preferences, or privileges that are senior to our
common stock.
2
If we are not able to manage growth of our business, our financial condition and
results of operations will be negatively affected.
We anticipate a period of significant growth. This growth could cause
significant strain on our managerial, operational, financial and other
resources. Success in managing this expansion and growth will depend, in part,
upon the ability of our senior management to effectively manage the growth of
our business. Any failure to manage the proposed growth and expansion of our
business could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and
results of operations.
The loss of Simon Levin could have a material adverse effect on our business; if
we are not able to retain additional key personnel, our business could suffer.
Our success depends to a large degree upon the skills of Mr. Levin, our
sole officer and director, and upon our ability to identify, hire, and retain
additional senior management, sales, marketing and financial personnel. We may
not be able to retain our existing key personnel or to attract and retain
additional key personnel. The loss of Mr. Levin or the failure to attract,
integrate, motivate, and retain additional key employees could have a material
adverse effect on our business. We do not have "key person" insurance on the
life of Mr. Levin.
We are dependent on certain contractual relationships to generate revenues, the
loss of which could significantly reduce revenue.
Our revenue is dependent upon the contractual relationships we can
establish with companies to place their products in manufacturing facilities. We
currently have one contract with ANK Apparel and hope to general additional
contracts in the future. Although we believe we will continue to meet all of our
material obligations under such contracts, there can be no assurance that such
contracts will continue or will be available for renewal on favorable terms.
Failure to obtain new contracts or extensions on current contracts for any
reason, could have a significant negative impact on our revenue.
A manufacturer's inability to produce our clients' goods on time and to our
clients' specifications could result in lost revenue and net losses.
We do not own or operate any manufacturing facilities and therefore depend
upon third parties for the manufacture of all of the products for which we
generate contracts for our clients. These products are manufactured to our
client specifications. The inability of a manufacturer to process our goods on
time, ship orders of the products in a timely manner or to meet the quality
standards could cause us to miss the delivery date requirements of our customers
for those items, which could result in cancellation of orders, refusal to accept
deliveries or a reduction in purchase prices, any of which could have a material
adverse effect as our revenues would decrease and we would incur net losses as a
result of the manufacture of such products, if any sales could be made. Because
of the seasonality the apparel business in particular, the dates on which
customers need and require shipments of products are critical, as styles and
consumer tastes change so rapidly in the apparel business, particularly from one
season to the next. Further, because quality is a leading factor when customers
and retailers accept or reject goods, any decline in quality by our third-party
manufacturers could be detrimental not only to a particular order, but also to
our future relationship with that particular customer.
If we need to replace manufacturers, our expenses could increase resulting in
smaller profit margins.
We compete with other companies for the production capacity of
manufacturers and import quota capacities. Many of these competitors have
greater financial and other resources than we have, and thus may have an
advantage in the competition for production and import quota capacity. If we
experience a significant increase in demand, or if an existing manufacturer of
ours must be replaced, we may have to expand our third-party manufacturing
capacity. We cannot assure you that this additional capacity will be available
when required on terms that are acceptable to us or our clients or similar to
existing terms which we have had with manufacturers in the past, either from a
production standpoint or a financial standpoint.
3
Should we be forced to replace one or more of our manufacturers,
particularly a manufacturer that we may rely upon for a substantial portion of
its production needs, such as ANK Apparel Source Inc. and their affiliates, then
we may experience an adverse financial impact, or an adverse operational impact,
such as being forced to pay increased costs for such replacement manufacturing
or delays upon distribution and delivery of our clients' products to their
customers, which could cause us to lose customers or lose revenues because of
late shipments.
If a manufacturer fails to use acceptable labor practices, we might have delays
in shipments or face joint liability for violations, resulting in decreased
revenue and increased expenses.
While we require our independent manufacturers to operate in compliance
with applicable laws and regulations, we have no control over the ultimate
actions of our independent manufacturers. While our internal and vendor
operating guidelines promote ethical business practices and our staff
periodically visit and monitor the operations of our independent manufacturers,
we do not control these manufacturers or their labor practices. The violation of
labor or other laws by an independent manufacturer of ours or the divergence of
an independent manufacturer's labor practices from those generally accepted as
ethical in the United States, could interrupt, or otherwise disrupt the shipment
of finished products to our clients or damage our reputation. Any of these, in
turn, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and
results of operations. In particular, the laws governing garment manufacturers
in the State of California impose joint liability upon us and our independent
manufacturers for the labor practices of those independent manufacturers. As a
result, should one of our independent manufacturers be found in violation of
state labor laws, we could suffer financial or other unforeseen consequences. We
have never used or currently intend to use a manufacturer in the State of
California, although we cannot rule out using one in the future.
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.
The fashion apparel manufacturing industry is extremely competitive and
includes several companies which have achieved substantially greater market
shares than we have, and have longer operating histories, have larger customer
bases, have substantially greater financial, development and marketing resources
than we do. If overall demand for our services should decrease it could have a
materially adverse affect on our operating results.
We face intense competition in the manufacturing contract procurement industry.
We face a variety of competitive challenges from other domestic and
foreign fashion-oriented apparel producers, many of which may be significantly
larger and more diversified and have greater financial and marketing resources
than we have. We do not currently hold a dominant competitive position in any
market. We compete with fashion apparel producers and manufacturers for the
placement of the manufacturing business.
The elimination of quotas may lead to increased competition.
In 1995, the Agreement on Textiles and Clothing came into effect,
requiring importing countries, including Canada, the United States and countries
in Western Europe, to eliminate quotas on imports of textiles and apparel from
WTO member exporting countries by 2005. This could result in increased
competition from developing countries which have lower labor costs and reliable
infrastructures, such as China, India and Pakistan. Increased competition from
such countries could adversely affect our business.
Moreover, since January 2003, Canada has granted duty and quota free
access to approximately 48 least developed countries, which may result in
increased competition from these least developed countries in the Canadian
textile and apparel markets.
To obtain new customers, we must overcome long-standing customer relationships
and long sales cycles; failure to obtain new customers could result in increased
expenses and operating losses.
Many of the potential customers that we pursue have long-standing business
relationships and personal ties with their existing manufacturers, which they
are reluctant to disrupt. To successfully sell our services, we generally must
educate potential customers on the use and benefits of our services, which can
require significant time and resources. Consequently, we must incur substantial
expenses in acquiring new customers. The period between initial contact and the
retention of our services is often long and subject to delays associated with
the lengthy approval and competitive evaluation processes that typically
accompany a customer's decision to change its outsourcing relationships. For
many customers, the cycle could takes several months, and for large customers,
the cycle may require more than one year. If we are unable to obtain new
customers, it could result in increased operating and marketing expenses and
operating losses.
4
The offering price of $0.10 per share was arbitrarily determined by us and is
not based on any trading market value which makes the offering price speculative
and subject to significant change after purchase.
The price of our common stock offered hereby has been arbitrarily
determined by us and bears no relationship to our earnings, book value or any
other recognized criteria of value. Our shares are not currently traded on any
stock market. Consequently, no established market value for our shares exists.
As a result, there is no assurance that shares purchased pursuant to this
prospectus can be resold at or above the offering price.
Our sole officer and director, Mr. Levin, will own a controlling interest in our
voting stock and investors will not have any voice in our management.
Upon completion of this offering, our sole officer and director, Mr. Levin
will, in the aggregate, beneficially own approximately 50.51% of our outstanding
common stock. As a result, Mr. Levin will have the ability to control
substantially all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including:
o election of our board of directors;
o removal of any of our directors;
o amendment of our certificate of incorporation or bylaws; and
o adoption of measures that could delay or prevent a change in control
or impede a merger, takeover or other business combination involving
us.
As a result of his ownership and position, Mr. Levin is able to influence
all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors
and approval of significant corporate transactions. In addition, sales of
significant amounts of shares held by Mr. Levin, or the prospect of these sales,
could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Mr. Levin's stock
ownership may discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or
otherwise attempting to obtain control of us, which in turn could reduce our
stock price or prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over our stock
price.
Risks Related to Our Common Stock
- ---------------------------------
There is currently no public market for our common stock. Failure to develop or
maintain a trading market could negatively affect the value of our shares and
make it difficult or impossible for you to sell your shares.
Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common
stock and a public market for our common stock may not develop upon completion
of this offering. Failure to develop or maintain an active trading market could
negatively affect the value of our shares and make it difficult for you to sell
your shares or recover any part of your investment in us. Even if a market for
our common stock does develop, the market price of our common stock may be
highly volatile. In addition to the uncertainties relating to our future
operating performance and the profitability of our operations, factors such as
variations in our interim financial results, or various, as yet unpredictable
factors, many of which are beyond our control, may have a negative effect on the
market price of our common stock.
5
THE OFFERING
We are registering up to 2,500,000 shares of common stock for sale to the
public. The common stock will be sold by our sole officer and director Simon
Levin, to investors inside and outside the United States. Other than possible
reimbursement for out-of-pocket selling costs incurred by the officers and
directors in their selling efforts and costs of preparing this prospectus, no
commissions or other deductions will be paid from the proceeds raised. There is
no minimum number of shares that must be sold in order for us to accept funds
and consummate investor purchases.
Determination of offering price
We have arbitrarily determined the initial public offering price of the
shares at $0.10 per share which price does not necessarily bear any relationship
to established valuation criteria such as earnings, book value or assets.
Rather, the offering price per share was derived from a subjective consideration
by management of various factors including:
o prevailing market conditions, including the history and prospects
for the industry in which we compete;
o our future prospects; and
o our capital structure.
Due to the arbitrary nature of the $0.10 offering price of the shares,
such valuation may not be indicative of prices that may prevail at any time or
from time to time in the future. You cannot be sure that a public market for any
of our securities will develop and continue or that the shares will ever trade
at a price higher than the offering price in this offering.
We are also registering on behalf of selling stockholders, for resale up
to 939,500 shares of common stock. The shares of common stock offered for resale
may be sold in a secondary offering by the selling stockholders by means of this
prospectus. The shares will be sold at a price of $0.10 per share. We will not
participate in the resale of shares by selling stockholders.
USE OF PROCEEDS
The proceeds from the sale of the shares of common stock offered by us are
estimated to be up to $250,000 based on a public offering price of $0.10 per
share. We intend to utilize the estimated proceeds during the twenty-four month
period following this offering for the following purposes:

DILUTION
Our book value per share, as of November 30, 2004 was $0.00 per share. Without
taking into account any changes in our book value after November 30, 2004 and
giving effect to the sale by us of 1,250,000 or 2,500,000 shares of common stock
offered hereby (after deducting estimated offering expenses payable by us) the
pro forma book value at November 30, 2004, would have been approximately
$112,820 or $0.03 per share if 1,250,000 shares are sold and $237,820 or $0.04
per share if 2,500,000 shares are sold. This amount represents an immediate and
significant dilution to new investors. The following table illustrates this
dilution per share:

MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK
Our common stock is not quoted on any exchange and there is no public
trading market.
As of March 11, 2005, we had 3,439,500 issued and outstanding shares of
common stock and 13 stockholders of record. We do not have any outstanding
options, warrants or other arrangements providing for the issuance of additional
shares of our capital stock. Of the 3,439,500 shares of common stock
outstanding, none of these shares are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144
of the 1933 Act as they have been held for less than one year. Except for the
shares being registered in this prospectus, we do not have any current intention
or obligation to register any additional shares of common stock for sale.
7
There is no public market for our common stock. Trades of our common
stock, should a market ever develop, will be subject to Rule 15g-9 of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, which rule imposes certain requirements on
broker/dealers who sell securities subject to the rule to persons other than
established customers and accredited investors. For transactions covered by the
rule, brokers/dealers must make a special suitability determination for
purchasers of the securities and receive the purchaser's written agreement to
the transaction prior to sale. The SEC also has rules that regulate
broker/dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks". Penny
stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other
than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on
the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with
respect to transactions in that security is provided by the exchange or system).
The penny stock rules require a broker/ dealer, prior to a transaction in a
penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk
disclosure document prepared by the SEC that provides information about penny
stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The
broker/dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer
quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker/dealer and its
salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the
market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and
offer quotations, and the broker/dealer and salesperson compensation
information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to
effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or
with the customer's confirmation. These disclosure requirements may have the
effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for our
common stock. As a result of these rules, investors in this offering, even if a
market for our shares ever develops, may find it difficult to sell their shares.
The provisions in our Certificate of Incorporation allow our board of
directors to issue preferred stock with rights, preferences and privileges
superior to our common stock. The issuance of preferred stock with such rights
may make the removal of management difficult even if such removal would be
considered beneficial to stockholders generally. It would have the effect of
limiting stockholder participation in certain transactions such as mergers or
tender offers if such transactions are not favored by our management. There are
no shares of preferred stock outstanding, and there are no current plans,
arrangements, commitments or undertakings to issue any preferred stock. However,
the board of directors has the authority to issue shares of preferred stock at
any time up to the amount authorized in our Certificate of Incorporation.
DIVIDEND POLICY
Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may
be declared by our board of directors and, in the event of liquidation, to share
pro rata in any distribution of our assets after payment of liabilities. We have
not paid any dividends on our common stock and we do not have any current plans
to pay any common stock dividends.

Introduction and Background
We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on July 7,
2004 to act as a holding company for our wholly-owned subsidiary, Levin
Industries Ltd. Levin Industries is a sales and marketing company based in
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Levin Industries' goal it is to generate
manufacturing contracts and place them in manufacturing facilities in North
America and Asia. Levin Industries receives a fixed commission for the
procurement of these contracts. Levin Industries also intends to acquire
minority interests in manufacturing facilities in Asia. We are a development
stage business and have had nominal revenues since our formation.
Contract Procurement
Our primary focus is to generate contracts with companies that create
technical outerwear clothing to place their manufacturing orders with
manufacturing facilities and oversee the process from design to finished
product. Many large fashion and apparel companies do not own their own
manufacturing facilities; instead, they have internal departments that are
responsible for finding manufacturing facilities, negotiating contracts and
overseeing the process at such facilities until the products are produced and
shipped. We believe there is a growing market for the outsourcing of this
services from in-house to companies like ours. We offer the following services
to clients to be outsourced:
o Design and development;
o Pattern making and grading;
o Fabric sourcing;
o Sample sewing;
o Production;
o Quality control;
o Private label development; and
o Duty, quota, brokerage and TPL services.
Design and development
- ----------------------
This involves the creation of actual designs, including styles, colors,
stitching and fabric selection through the process of having such designs make
into patterns, samples created and arranging for manufacturing of the products.
9
Pattern making and grading
- --------------------------
Creates first pattern or make alterations to existing hard paper patterns
or digitized data. All patterns are computerized using a Gerber pattern making
system. Patterns made from sample or specification. Grading involves making
grade rules for the market that product is intended, such as men, women, youth,
child, toddler, etc.
Fabric sourcing
- ---------------
This service involves searching for the type, quality, fiber and amount of
fabric needed for the customers' needs.
Sample sewing
- -------------
This service involves finding companies to provide the sewing of samples
of the garments to be manufactured to ensure stitching, quality and proper
pattern design. The samples are provided to clients for proofing prior to full
manufacture of the garments. Samples can be sewn using various methods.
Production
- ----------
This involves placing orders with manufacturers to mass-produce a
customer's clothing line based upon developed patterns.
Quality control
- ---------------
This involves the assessment of product compliance with stated patterns,
including reviewing for proper material, color, stitching and gluing.
Private label development
- -------------------------
Involves the creation of a new, independent line of clothing. Private
labels are clothing lines for companies to sell in addition to, or instead of
nationally known brands. For example, a retail store may carry jeans from
nationally recognized brands such as Levi's, Polo, and Calvin Klein, but also
carry a brand of jeans made for that retain store and only sold in that retail
store. This typically involves the process from design to development.
Duty, quota, brokerage and TPL services.
- ----------------------------------------
This involves the many laws and regulations relating to the amount of
certain products that can be imported into a country at a particular time or
over a period of time. This also involves payment of various taxes, depending on
what type of goods are being shipped, where they are shipped from, where they
are shipped to and how much of the product is being shipped. Failure to comply
with these regulations could result in shipments being held up in transit or
large financial penalties, among other repercussions.
Manufacturing Facility Ownership
Our second business objective is to acquire interests in manufacturing
facilities in Asia. In connection with any contracts we would enter into with
manufacturing facilities in Asia, it is our intention to negotiate to receive an
ownership interest at a discount to the market price. Through securing ownership
interests in these facilities, we will have added incentive to place future
manufacturing contracts with such facilities and will help ensure that our
clients have access to manufacturing facilities at the best rate possible. This
in turn will hopefully lead to additional business for us.
Contract with and Ownership in ANK Apparel Source Inc.
We entered into an agreement with ANK Apparel Source Inc. to procure
contracts on their behalf for the manufacture of clothing in ANK's manufacturing
facilities. Pursuant to our agreement with ANK, we receive a commission based
upon the total value of the contract we secure on their behalf. In addition, we
own approximately 16% of the total issued and outstanding shares of common stock
of ANK. It is our intention for the immediate future to place all manufacturing
contracts we secure at ANK's Canadian manufacturing facility.
10
ANK Apparel Source Inc.
ANK Apparel Source Inc. was incorporated on November 7, 2001. It is in its
fourth year of business in the technical outerwear industry. Its primary source
of business is the manufacture of Technical Sports Outerwear Apparel for North
American and European markets. ANK does not have a brand or its own line of
clothing. ANK is a contract manufacturer.
ANK has a manufacturing facility in Canada, owns a 35% interest in another
facility in Hang Zhou, China and is negotiating to acquire an interest in
another facility in China. The Canadian facility has 120 operators, a gluing
facility for technical welding of pockets and seams and a quality control and
trimming section. There is also a cutting department on premise that consists of
the latest Gerber computerized pattern making, product grading and marker
producing technology. The cutting equipment is all computerized and fully
automated for consistency and accuracy. In addition, there is also an Embroidery
department consisting of 24 heads for bulk production and four head machines for
sampling. Within the facility, there is a small sewer-sewing floor, bulk fabric
storage, packaging and shipping departments for finished products. The facility
in Hang Zhou holds 100 operators with existing space to increase capacity to 200
sewers.
ANK Canadian facilities are slowly decreasing the manufacturing capacity
in Canada and increasing the capacity in Asia. This is due solely to the change
in the quota and duties being abolished or decreased. As a result, China without
quotas now makes it a prime location for manufacturing.
ANK Apparel offers full package programs consisting of patternmaking,
pattern size grading, fabric sourcing, sampling, fabric purchases for bulk
production, packaging development, labeling, UPC coding, and EDI capabilities.
ANK offers a second option of cut, make and trim only. This gives a customer an
option to bring an already developed style and in stock fabric to the facility
and have the production floor cut, sew and package the product.
Following is a list of some of ANK's current and recent customers:
o Polo RLX Sport Line;
o Moonstone;
o Marmot;
o Patagonia;
o Cloudvail;
o Cabela's;
o Gander Mountain;
o Bass Pro;
o Arcteryx;
o Alpha Broder;
o Costco;
o Running Room;
o Forzani Group; and
o Eddie Bauer.
ANK's strength is in the ability to develop and source technical fabric or
develop fabrics with foreign mills and service the customer in North America
rather than companies having to go offshore themselves. As a result of the
pattern making and production expertise of ANK, it has developed a solid
reputation for technical, well designed, sound fitting garments with a high
level of quality and on time delivery. All development and sampling is done in
Canada and finished approved garments are then sent to the Asian facility for
production.
11
ANK's produces the following types of fabrics and designs:
o Base layer and next to skin underwear - moisture transfer;
o Fleece Outerwear - Jackets, bottoms, vests - hoodies, men's, woman's
and kids;
o Soft shell technology for windproof and waterproof outerwear;
o Woven shells for wind resistance;
o Military ECWACS (Extended Cold Weather Clothing Systems) for Navy
Seals and Military Personnel; and
o Gloves, hates scarves and other accessory items.
Customers and Marketing Strategy
We currently have one customer, ANK Apparel. We are seeking contracts with
additional customers. We intend to focus our marketing strategy on the attending
of trade shows and the networking of our President, Simon Levin, who has been
involved in this industry for over 15 years.
Competition
The market for clothing manufacturing contracts is very competitive. Many
companies own their own manufacturing facilities or have long-standing business
relationships and personal ties with their existing manufacturers, which they
are reluctant to disrupt. Additionally, we do not own our own manufacturing
facility, so we are reliant upon other manufacturers whom we shall solicit to
fulfill manufacturing orders.
We must educate potential customers on the use and benefits of our
services, which can require significant time and resources. The period between
initial contact and the retention of our services is often long and subject to
delays associated with the lengthy approval and competitive evaluation processes
that typically accompany a customer's decision to change its outsourcing
relationships. For many customers, the cycle could take several months, and for
large customers, the cycle may require more than one year. If we are unable to
obtain new customers, it could result in increased operating and marketing
expenses and operating losses.
We also face direct competition from other manufacturing service brokers
who might also have contracts or relationships with existing manufacturing
facilities.
Employees
We currently have one full time employee. We consider our relations with
our employee to be good.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
We maintain our principal office at 315 E. 2nd Avenue, Vancouver, British
Columbia, Canada V5T 1B9. Our telephone number at that office is (604) 215-3294
and our facsimile number is (604) 255-3290. We lease 300 square feet of office
space. Our monthly rent for this location is $250 per month. The lease expires
on September 30, 2005 and we have an option to renew the lease. We believe that
our current office space and facilities are sufficient to meet our present needs
and do not anticipate any difficulty securing alternative or additional space,
as needed, on terms acceptable to us.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal
proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation
is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other
12
matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently
not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have,
individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse affect on our business,
financial condition or operating results.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
AND PLAN OF OPERATIONS
The information in this registration statement contains forward-looking
statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. This Act provides a "safe harbor" for forward-looking statements to
encourage companies to provide prospective information about themselves so long
as they identify these statements as forward looking and provide meaningful
cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual
results to differ from the projected results. All statements other than
statements of historical fact made in this registration statement are forward
looking. In particular, the statements herein regarding industry prospects and
future results of operations or financial position are forward-looking
statements. Forward-looking statements reflect management's current expectations
and are inherently uncertain. The Company's actual results may differ
significantly from management's expectations.
Plan of Operations
Our first objective is to increase the annual sales for ANK Apparel. To
achieve this goal, we will attend four major trades shows for the technical and
ski wear industries at which we will have a booth soliciting customers and
placing contracts in the ANK's facility. These four shows are the Magic Show,
Outdoor Retailer show, SIA Show and the Shot Show.
Our second objective will be to travel to Asia to achieve the following
two initiatives:
o Inspecting the manufacturing facility in Hang Zhou, China to ensure
compliance with applicable laws and regulations and to ensure that is has
the ability and capacity to handle the production capacity that Levin
Industries hopes to deliver.
o Investigating other manufacturing facilities in Asia and looking to
purchase our own equity stake in one or two facilities so as to have
direct interest in the manufacturing process to ensure customer service
and deliverability. To that end, Levin will travel to Da Lian, China,
where the town council has expressed an interest in renovating an existing
manufacturing facility and assisting us in purchasing an interest in that
company. The town council is interested in growing the manufacturing
base/employment opportunities in this particular region. They see a North
American equity owner as a way to drive North American business to the
region, which would increase employment. It is expected that we will be
offered an equity ownership at a discounted price pursuant to the
profitability of specific contracts consuming the factories' production
capacity. This purchase can be either paid out of the proceeds raised or
by the profits generated by significant contracts.
Our third objective is to raise $250,000 via a public offering to expedite
our growth.
Results of Operation
Period from inception (February 16, 2004) to fiscal year end November 30, 2004
We have commenced operations and have received $70,961 of revenues through
November 30, 2004. Start-up expenses of $85,488 were incurred in the period from
inception through November 30, 2004. Professional and consulting fees
represented $71,685 of these start-up expenses as we are using outside
consultants in such areas as legal, accounting, web design and marketing in
developing our business. Consulting fees include $34,975 paid to Mr. Levin.
Included in operating expenses in the period is $2,367 of rent donated by the
Company's President.
We incurred a net loss of $24,516 during the period from inception through
November 30, 2004.
Prior to our acquisition of assets from Levin Industries on July 7, 2004,
our business had not yet commenced and no revenues had been generated.
14
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have incurred operating losses since the inception of our business
(February 16, 2004), and, as of November 30, 2004, we have an accumulated
deficit of $24,516. At November 30, 2004, we had cash and cash equivalents of
$7,430 and a net working capital deficiency of $40,478.
To date, we have funded our operations through the issuance of common
stock. During the period from inception to March 1, 2005, we raised $25,000 from
the sale of 3,000,000 shares of common stock to our President, Simon Levin and
$43,950 from the sale of 439,500 shares of common stock to 12 unrelated persons.
We also received the benefit of having the costs of our premises donated by a
related party having a total value of $2,367.
We have used the $68,950 cash raised to date from the sale of stock for
legal and accounting services and general working capital purposes.
We expect our expenses will continue to increase during the foreseeable
future as a result of increased marketing expenses and the enhancement of our
website. We are dependent on the proceeds from future debt or equity investments
to sustain our operations and implement our business plan. If we are unable to
raise sufficient capital, we will be required to delay or forego some portion of
our business plan, which may have a material adverse effect on our anticipated
results from operations and financial condition. Alternatively, we may seek
interim financing in the form of bank loans, private placement of debt or equity
securities, or some combination of these. Such interim financing may not be
available in the amounts or at the times when we require, and will likely not be
on terms favorable to us.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We are offering up to 2,500,000 shares of our common stock at $0.10 per
share. The common stock will be sold through our sole officer and director,
Simon Levin, to investors located both inside and outside the United States. Our
shares will be sold on a "self-underwritten" basis with no minimum amount of
common stock that we must sell in order to accept purchasers. No commissions are
being paid in connection with the offering. Expenses related to the offering are
estimated to be $25,000 which will be paid by us from the proceeds of this
offering.
In addition, the selling stockholders may, from time to time, sell up to
939,500 shares of common stock which they own. The selling stockholders may sell
all or a portion of the shares of common stock in privately negotiated
transactions or otherwise. Such sales will be offered at $0.10 per share. Unless
and until the offering price is changed by subsequent amendment to this
prospectus or our shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. If our shares
become listed on the OTC Bulletin Board, selling stock holders may then sell
their shares at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices.
The shares of common stock may be sold by the selling stockholders by one
or more of the following methods, without limitation:
(a) block trades in which the broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to
sell the shares of common stock as agent but may position and resell a
portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
(b) ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker
solicits purchasers;
(c) privately negotiated transactions; and
(d) a combination of any aforementioned methods of sale.
Simon Levin will be offering the shares of common stock being offered by
us. Mr. Levin is not a registered broker-dealer but will be offering our shares
pursuant to an exemption from such broker-dealer registration pursuant to Rule
3a4-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). Mr. Levin is
not subject to any statutory disqualification as defined in section 3(a)(39) of
the Exchange Act nor will he be compensated by way of commissions or other
remuneration based upon his participation in the offering of our common stock
nor is Mr. Levin currently an associated person with any broker or dealer.
Furthermore, Mr. Levin believes he meets the requirements of Rule
3a4-1(a)(4)(ii) in that he satisfies the following conditions: (a) Mr. Levin is
expected to perform substantial duties for and on our behalf as our CEO and
President; (b) Mr. Levin has not been a broker or a dealer or an associated
person with a broker or dealer within the past 12 months; and (c) Mr. Levin will
not participate in the offering of securities for any issuer more than once
every 12 months. Based upon the foregoing, Mr. Levin believes that he satisfies
the safe harbor requirements of Rule 3a4-1.
The offering of shares by the selling stockholders will run concurrently
with the offering of shares on our behalf. In this regard, the selling
stockholders, will be competing with us for the sale of shares.
Brokers or dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling
stockholders or, if any of the broker-dealers act as an agent for the purchaser
of said shares, from the purchaser in amounts to be negotiated which are not
expected to exceed those customary in the types of transactions involved. In
connection with such resales, the broker-dealer may pay to or receive from the
purchasers of the shares, commissions as described above. The selling
stockholders may also sell the shares of common stock in accordance with Rule
144 under the Securities Act, rather than pursuant to this prospectus.
20
The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that participate
with the selling stockholders in the sale of the shares of common stock may be
deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in
connection with these sales. In that event, any commissions received by the
broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares of common
stock purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or
discounts under the Securities Act. Furthermore, selling stockholders are
subject to Regulation M of the Exchange Act. Regulation M prohibits any
activities that could artificially influence the market for our common stock
during the period when shares are being sold pursuant to this prospectus.
Consequently, selling stockholders must refrain from directly or indirectly
attempting to induce any person to bid for or purchase the common stock being
offered with any information not contained in this prospectus. Regulation M also
prohibits any bids or purchases made in order to stabilize the price of our
common stock in connection with the stock offered pursuant to this prospectus.
A selling stockholder may enter into hedging transactions with
broker-dealers and the broker-dealers may engage in short sales of our common
stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume with such selling
stockholder, including, without limitation, in connection with the distribution
of our common stock by such broker-dealers, or pursuant to exemption from such
registration. A selling stockholder may also enter into option or other
transactions with broker-dealers that involve the delivery of the common stock
to the broker-dealers, who may then resell or otherwise transfer such common
stock. A selling stockholder may also loan or pledge the common stock to a
broker-dealer and the broker-dealer may sell the common stock so loaned or upon
default may sell or otherwise transfer the pledged common stock.
Under the securities laws of certain states, the shares of common stock
may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or
dealers or persons exempt from such registration. The selling stockholders are
advised to ensure that any brokers, dealers or agents affecting transactions on
behalf of the stockholders are registered to sell securities in such states. In
addition, in certain states the shares of common stock may not be sold unless
the shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an
exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.
All expenses of the registration statement estimated to be $20,000-$25,000
including but not limited to, legal, accounting, printing and mailing fees have
or will be paid by us. We have agreed to pay the incremental costs of including
the selling stockholders' shares in this prospectus. However, any selling costs
or brokerage commissions incurred by each selling stockholder relating to the
sale of his/her shares will be paid by the selling stockholder.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
The following description of our capital stock is a summary and is
qualified in its entirety by the provisions of our Articles of Incorporation,
with amendments, all of which have been filed as exhibits to our registration
statement of which this prospectus is a part.
Dividend Policy
We have not had any earnings or profits and have not paid any dividends.
Our proposed operations are capital intensive and we need working capital.
Therefore, we will be required to reinvest any future earnings in our
operations. Our Board of Directors has no present intention of declaring any
cash dividends, as we expect to re-invest all profits in the business for
additional working capital for continuity and growth. The future declaration and
payment of dividends will be determined by our Board of Directors after
considering the conditions then existing, including our earnings, financial
condition, capital requirements, and other factors.
There are no restrictions in our articles of incorporation or bylaws that
restrict us from declaring dividends.
Capital Structure
Our authorized capital stock consists of 100,005,000 shares of capital
stock, par value $.001 per share, of which 100,000,000 shares are common stock
and 5,000 shares are preferred stock that may be issued in one or more series at
the discretion of the Board of Directors. As of March 11, 2005, 3,439,500 shares
of common stock and 0 shares of Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding.
Common Stock
The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held
of record on all matters to be voted on by the stockholders. The holders of
common stock are entitled to receive dividends ratably, when, as and if declared
by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available therefor. In the event
of a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of Levin Textiles International
Inc., the holders of common stock are entitled to share equally and ratably in
all assets remaining available for distribution after payment of liabilities and
after provision is made for each class of stock, if any, having preference over
the common stock.
The holders of shares of common stock, as such, have no conversion,
preemptive, or other subscription rights and there are no redemption provisions
applicable to the common stock. All of the outstanding shares of common stock
are, and the shares of common stock offered by us hereby, when issued against
the consideration set forth in this prospectus, will be, validly issued, fully
paid and non-assessable.
Preferred Stock
Shares of preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more
series as may from time to time be determined by our Board of Directors. Our
Board of Directors has authority, without action by the stockholders, to
determine the voting rights, preferences as to dividends and liquidation,
conversion rights and any other rights of such series. Any preferred shares, if
and when issued in the discretion of the Board of Directors, may carry voting,
conversion or other rights superior to those of the shares of common stock and
may adversely affect the voting power and rights of the common stockholders. Our
Board of Directors has not designated any series or class of preferred stock
and, as such, there are no shares of preferred stock currently outstanding.
Options and Warrants
We have not yet issued any options, warrants or other rights to acquire
our securities.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Colonial Stock
Transfer, Salt Lake City, Utah.
23
INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Our Articles of Incorporation provide to the fullest extent permitted by
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, that our
directors or officers shall not be personally liable to us or our shareholders
for damages for breach of such director's or officer's fiduciary duty. The
effect of this provision of our Articles of Incorporation, as amended and
restated, is to eliminate our rights and our shareholders (through shareholders'
derivative suits on behalf of our company) to recover damages against a director
or officer for breach of the fiduciary duty of care as a director or officer
(including breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior),
except under certain situations defined by statute. We believe that the
indemnification provisions in our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, are
necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.
Our By Laws also provide that the Board of Directors may also authorize
our company to indemnify our employees or agents, and to advance the reasonable
expenses of such persons, to the same extent, following the same determinations
and upon the same conditions as are required for the indemnification of and
advancement of expenses to our directors and officers. As of the date of this
Registration Statement, the Board of Directors has not extended indemnification
rights to persons other than directors and officers.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in
the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is,
therefore, unenforceable.
LEGAL MATTERS
The validity of the common stock offered hereby will be passed upon for
Levin Textiles International Inc. by Sichenzia Ross Friedman Ference LLP, New
York, New York.

[MANNING ELLIOTT LETTERHEAD]
Independent Auditors' Report
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
of Levin Textiles International, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Levin Textiles
International, Inc. (A Development Stage Company) as of November 30, 2004 and
August 31, 2004 and the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders' equity and cash flows for the three month period ended November
30, 2005 and the period from February 16, 2004 (Date of Inception) to August 31,
2004 and accumulated for the period from February 16, 2004 (Date of Inception)
to November 30, 2004. These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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 audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the aforementioned consolidated financial statements present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Levin Textiles
International, Inc. (A Development Stage Company), as of November 30, 2004 and
August 31, 2004, and the results of its operations, cash flows and stockholders'
equity for the three month period ended November 30, 2004 and the period from
February 16, 2004 (Date of Inception) to August 31, 2004 and accumulated for the
period from February 16, 2004 (Date of Inception) to November 30, 2004, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles used in the United
States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming
the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the
consolidated financial statements, the Company is in the development stage and
has incurred losses from operations since inception. These factors raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Management's plans in regard to these matters are also discussed in Note 1. The
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

(The accompanying notes are an integral part of the financial statements)
Levin Textiles International, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
November 30, 2004
1. Development Stage Company
The Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware, USA on July 7,
2004. Effective July 16, 2004, the Company acquired all the outstanding
common stock of Levin Industries Ltd. ("Industries"), a company under
common control. Prior to the acquisition, the Company was a non-operating
shell corporation with net assets consisting solely of cash of $25,000.
The acquisition is a capital transaction in substance and therefore has
been accounted for as a reverse acquisition. See Note 6.
The Company's principal business is in the garment manufacturing industry
(technical outerwear), specializing in sales, product development, initial
sample approval, fabric sourcing, and product placement in Asian Pacific
Rim and North American facilities.
The Company is in the development stage and planned principal activities
have commenced, but there has been no significant revenue therefrom. In a
development stage company, management devotes most of its activities to
developing a market for its products and services. The Company's primary
source of revenue is currently commission income from product sales to
third parties. These financial statements have been prepared on a going
concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its
assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The
Company has generated minimal revenues since inception and has never paid
any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate significant
earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of the
Company as a going concern and the ability of the Company to emerge from
the development stage is dependent upon the continued financial support
from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary
equity financing to continue operations, to generate significant revenues
and the attainment of profitable operations. As at November 30, 2004, the
Company has accumulated losses of $24,516 since inception. These financial
statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and
classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities
that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a
going concern. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
In December 2004, the Company issued 439,500 common shares at a price of
$0.10 per share for total proceeds of $43,950 pursuant to a private
placement.
The Company is planning to file a Form SB-2 Registration Statement
("SB-2") with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission to
register up to 939,500 shares of common stock held by existing
shareholders for resale at a price of $0.10 per share. Also pursuant to
the SB-2, the Company plans to offer up to 2,500,000 common shares at a
price of $0.10 per share for maximum proceeds of $250,000 to the Company.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
a) Basis of Presentation and Fiscal Year
These financials statements and related notes are presented in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States, and are expressed in US dollars. The Company has not
produced significant revenue from its principal business and is a
development stage company as defined by Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 7 "Accounting and Reporting by
Development Stage Enterprises". These financial statements include
the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Levin
Industries Ltd. All intercompany transactions and balances have been
eliminated. The Company's fiscal year-end is August 31, 2004.
b) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.

Levin Textiles International, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
November 30, 2004
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
c) Other Comprehensive Income
SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", establishes
standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income
(loss) and its components in the financial statements. As at
November 30, 2004, the Company's only component of comprehensive
income (loss) was foreign currency translation adjustments.
d) Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of
three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.
e) Concentrations
The fair value of financial instruments, which include accounts
receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, income taxes
payable, and due from a related party were estimated to approximate
their carrying values due to the immediate or short-term maturity of
these financial instruments. The Company's operations are in Canada
resulting in exposure to market risks from changes in foreign
currency rates. The financial risk is the risk to the Company's
operations that arise from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates
and the degree of volatility of these rates. Currently, the Company
does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to
foreign currency risk.
As at November 30, 2004, accounts receivable from a single, related
party customer represented 100% of total accounts receivables, and
this customer represented 99% of total revenues.
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit
risk consist principally of cash. Cash was deposited with a high
quality institution.
f) Foreign Currency Transactions/Balances
During the three-month period ended November 30, 2004, the
functional currency of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary changed
to the Canadian dollar. The financial statements of this subsidiary
are translated to United States dollars in accordance with SFAS No.
52 "Foreign Currency Translation" using period-end rates of exchange
for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange for the
period for revenues and expenses. Translation gains (losses) are
recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a
component of stockholders' equity. Foreign currency transaction
gains and losses are included in current operations.
g) Revenue Recognition
The Company earns commission income from product sales made by an
affiliated company, ANK Apparel Source Inc. ("ANK"). Commission
income is recognized at the time products are shipped to customers
by ANK. The Company records commission income on a net basis in
accordance with EITF 99-19, "Reporting revenue gross as a principal
vs. net as an agent". The Company recognizes revenue in accordance
with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin
No. 104 ("SAB 104"), "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements".
Revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed or determinable,
persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product is shipped
by ANK, and collectibility is reasonably assured. The Company's
accounts receivable are due entirely from ANK, an affiliated
company. The Company has not encountered any collectibility issues
relating to amounts owed from ANK and therefore has not established
allowance for doubtful accounts.
h) Property and Equipment
Property and equipment consists of computer hardware and is recorded
at cost. Computer hardware is being amortized on the straight line
basis over the estimated life of four years.

(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
November 30, 2004
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
i) Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", the carrying value of intangible
assets and other long-lived assets is reviewed on a regular basis
for the existence of facts or circumstances that may suggest
impairment. The Company recognizes impairment when the sum of the
expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying
amount of the asset. Impairment losses, if any, are measured as the
excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its estimated fair
value.
j) Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Share
The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with
SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share" ("SFAS 128"). SFAS 128 requires
presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on
the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing
net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
(denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all
dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period
including stock options, using the treasury stock method, and
convertible preferred stock, using the if-converted method. In
computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is
used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased
from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes
all dilutive potential common shares if their effect is
anti-dilutive.
k) Investment
Investment consists of a 16% interest in the common shares of ANK
Apparel Source Inc., a private company incorporated in the Province
of British Columbia, Canada. These securities are classified as
available-for-sale and are recorded at cost of $42,150, which
approximates fair value at November 30, 2004. Any unrealized gains
and losses in the valuation of the investment will be included in
stockholders' equity.
l) Income Taxes
Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the
accounts until realization is more likely than not. The Company has
adopted SFAS No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes" as of its
inception. Pursuant to SFAS No. 109 the Company is required to
compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward.
Potential benefit of net operating losses have not been recognized
in these financial statements because the Company cannot be assured
it is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses
carried forward in future years.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
m) Recent Accounting Pronouncement
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 123R,
"Share Based Payment". SFAS 123R is a revision of SFAS No. 123
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", and supersedes APB
Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and its
related implementation guidance. SFAS 123R establishes standards for
the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its
equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses
transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for
goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity's
equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those
equity instruments. SFAS 123R focuses primarily on accounting for
transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in
share-based payment transactions. SFAS 123R does not change the
accounting guidance for share-based payment transactions with
parties other than employees provided in SFAS 123 as originally
issued and Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 96-18, "Accounting
for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for
Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services". SFAS
123R does not address the accounting for employee share ownership
plans, which are subject to AICPA Statement of Position 93-6,
"Employers' Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans". SFAS
123R requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee
services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments
based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited
exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during
which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the
award - the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).
SFAS 123R requires that the compensation cost relating to
share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial
statements. That cost will be measured based on the fair value of
the equity or liability instruments issued. The scope of SFAS 123R
includes a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements
including share options, restricted share plans, performance-based
awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase
plans. Public entities (other than those filing as small business
issuers) will be required to apply SFAS 123R as of the first interim
or annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. Public
entities that file as small business issuers will be required to
apply SFAS 123R in the first interim or annual reporting period that
begins after December 15, 2005. For nonpublic entities, SFAS 123R
must be applied as of the beginning of the first annual reporting
period beginning after December 15, 2005. The adoption of this
standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's
results of operations or financial position.
In December 2004, FASB issued SFAS No. 153, "Exchanges of
Nonmonetary Assets - An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29". The
guidance in APB Opinion No. 29, "Accounting for Nonmonetary
Transactions", is based on the principle that exchanges of
nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the
assets exchanged. The guidance in that Opinion, however, included
certain exceptions to that principle. SFAS No. 153 amends Opinion
No. 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of
similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception
for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial
substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the
future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly
as a result of the exchange. The provisions of SFAS No. 153 are
effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal
periods beginning after June 15, 2005. Early application is
permitted and companies must apply the standard prospectively. The
adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect
on the Company's results of operations or financial position.

6. Recapitalization - Reverse Acquisition (continued)
Prior to the reverse acquisition, the Company was a non-operating shell
company with net assets consisting solely of cash of $25,000. Therefore,
this acquisition is a recapitalization, rather than a business
combination, and has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition. Because
Industries is deemed to be the acquirer for accounting purposes, the
financial statements are presented as a continuation of Industries and
include the results of operations of Industries since incorporation on
February 16, 2004, and the results of operations of the Company since the
date of acquisition on July 22, 2004.
As at July 16, 2004 the Company had $25,000 of net assets which has been
allocated to additional paid in capital.
7. Accrued Liabilities
As at November 30, 2004 and August 31, 2004, accrued liabilities consist
of accrued professional fees.
8. Income Tax
The Company follows the provisions of SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes". Pursuant to SFAS 109 the Company is required to compute tax asset
benefits for net operating losses carried forward. The potential benefit
of net U.S. operating losses has not been recognized in the financial
statements because the Company cannot be assured that it is more likely
than not that it will utilize the net U.S. operating losses carried
forward in future years. The Company has a U.S. tax loss of $33,957 to
offset future years taxable income expiring commencing in fiscal 2024.

PROSPECTUS
The date of this prospectus is __________, 2005
PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
Item 24. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Our Articles of Incorporation provide to the fullest extent permitted by
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, that our
directors or officers shall not be personally liable to us or our shareholders
for damages for breach of such director's or officer's fiduciary duty. The
effect of this provision of our Articles of Incorporation, as amended and
restated, is to eliminate our rights and our shareholders (through shareholders'
derivative suits on behalf of our company) to recover damages against a director
or officer for breach of the fiduciary duty of care as a director or officer
(including breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior),
except under certain situations defined by statute. We believe that the
indemnification provisions in our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, are
necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.
Our By Laws also provide that the Board of Directors may also authorize
our company to indemnify our employees or agents, and to advance the reasonable
expenses of such persons, to the same extent, following the same determinations
and upon the same conditions as are required for the indemnification of and
advancement of expenses to our directors and officers. As of the date of this
Registration Statement, the Board of Directors has not extended indemnification
rights to persons other than directors and officers.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in
the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is,
therefore, unenforceable.
Item 25. Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution
The following table sets forth an itemization of all estimated expenses,
all of which we will pay, in connection with the issuance and distribution of
the securities being registered:
Nature of Expense Amount
----------------- ------

Accounting fees and expenses 3,000.00*
Legal fees and expenses 20,000.00*

Item 26. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
Since we were formed on February 16, 2004, we issued an aggregate of
3,439,500 shares of our common stock to 13 individuals pursuant to Section 4(2)
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and/or
Regulation S, promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act.
On July 22, 2004, we sold 500,000 shares of our common stock to our
President, Simon Levin, for consideration of $25,000.
On July 22, 2004, we issued 2,500,000 shares of our common stock to our
President, Simon Levin, in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares
of Levin Industries Ltd.
II-1
On December 31, 2004, we sold 439,500 shares of our common stock to 12
unrelated individuals in a private placement for $0.10 per share.
All of the foregoing issuances were exempt from registration under Section
4(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation S, promulgated pursuant to the
Securities Act. None of the purchasers who received shares under Regulation S
are U.S. persons as defined in Rule 902(k) of Regulation S, and no sales efforts
were conducted in the U.S., in accordance with Rule 903(c). Such purchasers
acknowledged that the securities purchased must come to rest outside the U.S.,
and the certificates contain a legend restricting the sale of such securities
until the Regulation S holding period is satisfied.

Item 28. Undertakings
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement
during any period in which offers or sales are being made:
(i) to include any Prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act;
(ii) to reflect in the Prospectus any facts or events arising after
the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually, or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in
the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range
may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission
pursuant to Rule 424(b) ((S)230.424(b) of this Chapter) if, in the
aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20%
change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
"Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration
Statement; and
(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan
of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement of
any material change to such information in the Registration Statement.
(2) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
this offering.
(3) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and this
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(4) That, insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising from the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons
of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
(5) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
Act, the information omitted from the form of Prospectus filed as part of this
Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of
Prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or Rule
497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this Registration
Statement as of the time it was declared effective.
