IDEAL ACCENTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

(A FLORIDA CORPORATION)

Miami, Florida



NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



Note A -

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements of Ideal Accents, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in conjunction with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited financial statements and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Form 10K Annual Report, and other filings with the SEC.


The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for these periods are not necessarily comparable to, or indicative of, results of any other interim period of or for the fiscal year taken as a whole.  Factors that affect the comparability of financial data from year to year and for comparable interim periods include non-recurring expenses associated with the Company’s registrations with the SEC and the seasonal fluctuations of the business. Certain financial information that is not required for interim financial reporting purposes has been omitted.


Note B -

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company’s foreign operations in Toronto Ontario, Canada, are measured using the local currency as the functional currency.  Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates as of the balance sheet date.  Revenues, expenses and cash flows are translated at weighted average rates of exchange in effect during the year.  The resulting cumulative translation adjustments have been recorded as a separate component of stockholder’s equity and comprehensive income.  Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in net income.  Foreign currency cash flows are translated at the weighted average rate of exchange in effect during the period due to the minimal fluctuation in the currency exchange rates during the period.  Management believes that substantially the same results would be derived if foreign cash flows were translated at the rates in effect at the time of the cash flows.


Note C -

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation

During the quarter ended March 31, 2004, the Company exchanged 938,508 of common stock to holders of exchangeable shares of Ideal Accents (Nova Scotia) Company, a Nova Scotia corporation and Ideal Accents Holding, Inc., an Ontario corporation.  The Company acquired all the common stock of the two Canadian companies through the issuance of common stock and exchangeable shares during December 2001.  The exchangeable shares can converted into common stock of Ideal for a total of 5,250,958 common shares.


On April 15, 2004, the Company issued 145,040 of common stock to holders of outstanding stock subscriptions in the amount of $92,396.  The terms of the stock subscriptions were based on issuance of common stock at the price of the average of the first twenty day trading closing prices of the Corporation’s common shares on the OTC-BB less a 20% discount, payable within ten days following the first twenty days of trading of the Corporation’s common stock on the OTC-BB.


The Company issued 1,578,273 of common stock in exchange of debt in the amount of $394,570 on June 30, 2004.  Also on June 30, 2004, the Company issued 1,600,000 of the common stock to AVG (OEAM) Inc. in exchange of debt in the amount of $400,000.  Several principal shareholders of the Company are also principal shareholders of AVG (OEAM) Inc.


Note E -

Impairment of Goodwill

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 are as follows:

$ 53,953


Goodwill is assigned to specific reporting units and is reviewed for possible impairment at least annually or more frequently upon the occurrence of an event or when circumstances indicate that a reporting unit’s carrying amount is greater than its fair value.  Due to the Company’s filing of Chapter 11 bankruptcy on October 13, 2004 (Note H), the remaining balance of goodwill was impaired at September 30, 2004.

Note G -

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern.  However, the Company has sustained substantial operating losses in recent years.  In addition, the Company has used substantial amounts of working capital in its operations.  Further, at September 30, 2004, current liabilities exceed current assets by $2,406,124, and total liabilities exceed total assets by $3,400,850. On October 13, 2004, the Company filed for Bankruptcy protection (Note H).


In view of these matters, the Company has recorded impairment losses on substantially all of its assets as of September 30, 2004 to reflect realizable value upon liquidation.


Note H -

Subsequent Event

On October 13, 2004, the Company, filed a voluntary petition under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”).  The Company has had continued shortfalls in revenues cash flows from operating and has been unable to obtain financing.  The outstanding debt owed to Citizen’s Bank was purchased by Ideal Auto Restyling.  The Company took action to alleviate that debt by voluntarily surrendering assets of two U.S. Subsidiaries to Ideal Auto Restyling, in full satisfaction of amounts owing by the two U.S. Subsidiaries and for a release and discharge of Ideal Auto Restyling’s liens on assets of the two U.S. Subsidiaries.


In addition, on October 8, 2004, the Company ceased all U.S. operations.  Since the “voluntary surrender” of the U.S. Subsidiaries’ assets, the Canadian Subsidiaries continue to operate at a loss but the core business operations, Somani Holding, Inc., remain a viable enterprise.  Due to the apparent insolvency of the Debtor, the possible de-listing of the Company’s stock from the OTC Bulletin Board, and an attempt to reduce secured loan obligations, the Company was concerned that, among other things, Canadian insolvency laws might require commencement of a Canadian insolvency proceeding or that Canadian creditors might commence involuntary proceedings.  For these reasons, among others, the Company commenced the Chapter 11 proceeding in order to preserve any remaining value and to prevent a race by creditors to foreclose on such remaining property and to investigate whether potential causes of action exist as to certain pre-petition transfers.

During the previous two years, Ideal and its Subsidiaries operated at a significant loss.  On a consolidated basis, in 2002, Ideal incurred losses of $1,235,251 on sales of $8,773,668; and in 2003, Ideal incurred losses of $1,388,521 on sales of $7,573,344.  Ideal also incurred one-time costs associated with the registration of its shares and its commencement of trading on the OTC Bulletin Board.  Ideal’s objective for 2004 was to achieve consolidated annualized sales of up to $12,500,000 and a positive bottom line through a growth strategy that included the acquisition of owner-operated installation shops.


Ideal was unable to achieve its intended results due in part to a slowdown in the automotive industry over the last eighteen months.  This industry-wide slowdown caused Ideal to revise its projected sales goals, acquisition strategy, and projected earnings.  Accordingly, Ideal’s plan to meet operating and financing needs for July 2004 – December 2004 was to seek alternate sources of equity and debt financing to support operations.  Ideal’s principal stockholders had extended short-term loans to certain of the Subsidiaries.  As an additional source of short-term funding, the Subsidiaries sold certain accounts receivable at a discount from their face value to a receivables “factoring” company.  Due to continued shortfalls in revenue and an inability to obtain financing, beginning in the summer of 2004, Ideal and its Subsidiaries began experiencing financial difficulties.  Cost cutting measures were implemented, including consolidating our Troy, Michigan facility into our Ferndale, Michigan facility.  On September 30, 2004, Ideal had only two operating facilities remaining: one in Ferndale, Michigan; the other in Scarborough, Ontario.


From June 30, 2004 to September 30, 2004, Ideal’s assets declined from $1,313,210 to $294,163 primarily due to significant declines in accounts receivable and inventory.  The decline in accounts receivable was attributed both to reductions in Ideal’s business and significantly greater factoring of receivables necessitated by its liquidity needs.  The decline in inventory was attributed to Ideal’s inability to maintain substantial inventories with its financial resources.  The September 30, 2004 balance sheet also reflected negative working capital of $2,406,000 and total stockholders deficit in excess of $3,400,000.  The latter amount included related-party indebtedness of approximately $1,000,000, the major portion of this indebtedness owing to AVG (OEAM), Inc.


In September 2004, two of Ideal’s U.S. Subsidiaries, Ideal Accents Inc. (Ferndale) and T.O.E., Inc., both operating out of the Ferndale, Michigan facility, were notified by Citizens Bank that they were in default of a certain indebtedness that had an outstanding principal balance of approximately $230,000.00.  In response, Ideal decided to surrender specified assets at the Ferndale facility in exchange for a release and discharge of Citizens Bank’s liens on assets of the two U.S. Subsidiaries.  These assets were surrendered on October 8, 2004.  The Ferndale operating facility was shut down shortly thereafter.  Currently, Ideal has only one operating facility remaining in Scarborough, Ontario.


Due to the apparent insolvency of Ideal, the possible de-listing of Ideal’s stock from the OTC Bulletin Board, and an attempt to reduce secured loan obligations, Ideal was concerned that, among other things, Canadian insolvency laws might require commencement of a Canadian insolvency proceeding or that Canadian creditors might commence involuntary proceedings.  For these reasons, among others, Ideal commenced this Chapter 11 proceeding in order to preserve the estate’s value and to prevent a race by creditors to foreclose on estate property.


Chapter 11 Progress.  We expect to file the Disclosure Statement and the Draft Plan to the court by November 30, 2004.  The Initial Case Conference and the 341 Meeting of Creditors have already been scheduled.  Barring any significant objections, we expect approval on the Disclosure Statement and confirmation on the Draft Plan by March 31, 2005.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements.  There are no recently issued accounting standards that would have a material impact on the financial statements.

Plan of Operations for Next 12 Months.  An important objective of our Plan is to emerge from Chapter 11 with a fiscally sound company.  A key element in this Plan supporting this objective will be to negotiate a merger with a Merger-Partner that would add significant value to Ideal’s top and bottom lines.

Risk Factors


Going Concern Qualification.  Filing a Chapter 11 Plan does not in any way assure Ideal’s survival.  It simply provides Ideal a chance to reorganize itself so as to give it a chance to continue as a going concern.  However, Ideal’s emergence from Chapter 11 itself is contingent upon a number of factors.  Two of these are discussed below.


Securing DIP Loan.  Ideal will incur administrative expenses while in the Chapter 11 process.  Its ability to pay for these expenses will depend on securing a Debtor-In-Possession (“DIP”) loan.  To date, it has not secured such a loan.  If Ideal is not able to secure such a loan, it may never emerge from the bankruptcy proceeding and our shareholders will lose their entire investment.


Securing Merger-Partner.  To place Ideal on a fiscally sound footing when it emerges from Chapter 11 will require that it successfully negotiate a merger with a Merger-Partner that is financially sound itself.  If Ideal does not succeed in negotiating such a merger, the public company maintenance costs will be too high for its remaining operating entity in Scarborough, Ontario to sustain and, therefore, will have no choice but to file a straight Chapter 7 liquidation plan, in which event our shareholders will lose their entire investment.
