LEGAL PROCEEDINGS |
On November 4, 2016, the FTC filed a complaint against the Company in the U.S. District Court Western District of Pennsylvania, Case number 16-1669. In the complaint, the FTC alleges that, among other matters, the Company did not have substantiation of claims made by the Company regarding the R value and energy efficiency of its INSULTEX House Wrap products. The complaint asks as to redress a rescission of revenue the Company received from the sale of House Wrap and a permanent injunction. On September 24, 2020, a judgment was entered in favor of the Company as to all claims set forth in the FTC complaint. It was further ordered that as there were no remaining claims in the action the case shall be marked as closed.
On November 23, 2020, the Company was informed that the FTC had filed a notice of appeal in regard to the case. The appeal is from the District Court’s September 24, 2020, Order granting the Company’s Motion for Judgment on Partial Findings Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 52(c) and subsequent Judgment in favor of the Company and from the District Court’s February 14, 2020, striking Dr. David Yarbrough’s expert testimony made on behalf of the FTC. The FTC filed its appeal and on March 24, 2021, the Company filed its answer.
On July 22, 2021, the Registrant was informed that the United States Court of Appeals for the Third District affirmed the District Court’s ruling in favor of the Registrant. The ruling was in connection with the Federal Trade Commission complaint filed against the Registrant in November 2016, alleging, among other matters, that the Registrant did not have substantiation for claims made by the Registrant regarding the R-value and energy efficiency of its INSULTIX House Wrap products.
In November 2021, in connection with the
FTC litigation, the Company filed an application for attorney fees, expenses and cost in the U.S. District Court for the Western District
of Pennsylvania, Case No.2:16-cv-01669-NBF. On June 29, 2022, a settlement order was signed by the Court. Pursuant to the Order, the FTC

| ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
General
The following information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto and in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2022.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding future results of operation, made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements. We use words such as expects, believes, intends, and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. Forward looking-looking statements reflect management’s current expectations and are inherently uncertain. Actual results could differ materially for a variety of reasons, including, among others, , competition in our cold weather markets, our ability to sell out HouseWrap product line, our inability to secure sufficient funding to maintain and/or expand our current level of operations and the seasonality of our cold weather product line. These risks and uncertainties, as well as other risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ significantly from management’s expectations, are described in greater detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicity update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise except as required by law.

Revenues for the three-month period ended January 31, 2023, was $71,647 compared to revenues of $62,400 for the three-month period ended January 31, 2022. The increase in revenue is primarily attributable to more sales of our House Wrap product. See Note 13 of the Notes to the Condensed Financial Statements appearing elsewhere in this Report for a description of our segment products sales. Our net loss for the three-month period ended January 31, 2022, was ($ 132,040) compared to a net loss of ($ 35,965) for the same period in 2021.
Our selling, general and administrative expenses were $114,651 for the three-month period ended January 31, 2023, compared to $150,618 for the three-month period ended January 31, 2022. Professional fees for the three-month period ended January 31, 2023, were $19,481 compared to $40,610 for the three-month period ended January 31, 2022. The decrease is primarily a result of lower accounting and legal costs. Salary was $35,773 for the three-months ended January 31, 2023 compared to $43,284 for the three months ended January 31, 2022.
12
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the three-month period ended January 31, 2023, we funded our operations from revenues from sales, and sale of our common stock.
Short Term: We will continue to fund our operations from sales and the sale of our securities. We continue to pay our creditors when payments are due. We will require more funds to be able to order the material for our INSULTEX products and to purchase equipment needed for the manufacture of the INSULTEX product. The Company reached an agreement with the manufacturer of the INSULTEX material to purchase a machine capable of producing the INSULTEX material. Also included in the proposed agreement will be the propriety formula that creates INSULTEX. The Company took delivery of the equipment in December 2015. The Company will have to have the machine installed and ensure that it can be operated in compliance with all environmental rules and regulations. It is the Company intentions to have the equipment operational but cannot currently provide a time estimate. Among the factors affecting the time estimate are financial resources available to the Company, finding a suitable facility and bringing technical personal from abroad to install the equipment. The Company has currently made deposits of $600,000 on the equipment. The Company has incurred $17,000 of additional expenses related to shipping. The Company will produce INSULTEX under its own brand name. See Note 10 of the Notes to the Condensed Financial Statements.
We also must purchase new quality control testing equipment for our House Wrap Product line which we estimate may cost approximately $100,000. However, we have not as yet received a quote from the vendor. We have placed a $7,000 deposit with the vendor. Once the equipment is built it will have to go through a certification process.
Long Term: The Company will continue to fund its operations from revenues, borrowings from private parties and the possible sale of our securities. Should we not be able to rely on the private sources for borrowing and /or increased sales, our operations would be severely affected as we would not be able to fund our purchase orders to our suppliers for finished goods and our efforts to produce our own INSULTEX would be delayed.

Not applicable
| ITEM 4T. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
As of January 31, 2023, our Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer identified the following specific material weaknesses in the Company’s internal controls over its financial reporting processes:
| ● | The Company is not maintaining supporting schedules, or the schedules being maintained are inaccurate to support amounts presented and disclosed in the financial statements. Specific schedules in relation to inventory deposits, inventory reserves, fixed assets, debt balance (and related accrued interest) were not available, or in the case of debt schedules were not accurate and in accordance with the loan documents | |
| ● | The Company’s internal controls policies are ineffective, or not being complied with, to identify errors, in the financial statements. These deficiencies may be considered as “material weaknesses”. | |
| ● | In addition, the Company does not utilize an internal accounting system that captures all Company activity on a timely basis. Certain transactions, such as sales and receivables are maintained in one system and disbursements and accounts payable are maintained manually. On a quarterly basis this information is sent to an external accountant to retroactively enter the information into a general ledger system and then prepare the financial statements. The lack of a single accounting system presents multiple opportunities for errors to occur, and further contributes to a lack of timely internal and external financial reporting. |
This was due to our limited resources, including the absence of an internal financial staff member with accounting and financial expertise and deficiencies in the design or operation of our internal control over financial reporting that adversely affected our disclosure controls.
However, the material weakness will not be considered remediated until the applicable remedial controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.
