PART I

Item 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.

General

Art Design, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Colorado on January 16, 2002. We are a provider of custom framed artwork, accessories and interior design consulting. We market and sell our products and services to commercial and professional business offices, along with residential clients. We believe we have developed a presence in the State of Colorado for creating custom framed mirrors, art, and design furnishings.

On June 18, 2007 we closed our public offering. We sold a total of 520,600 shares at a price of $.25 per share, for a total of $130,150.

We have one wholly-owned subsidiary, Art Dimensions, Inc., which we incorporated in January, 2008.
We issued a total of 2,000,000 shares to us. This company has been incorporated to represent artists and other creative individuals in the interior design business. We are currently in the process of spinning off  this subsidiary to our shareholders.

 Our headquarters are located at 3636 S. Jason, Englewood, Colorado 80113. Our phone number at our headquarters is (303) 781-7280. Our fiscal year end is December 31.

Overview of our Operations
 
We believe that we have created a business model that enables us to provide products and services to our clients in a more convenient, efficient and economical manner. We sell our products and services directly to the public and not through design professionals.

Mr. and Mrs. Sheehan operate a private company known as the Accessory Warehouse. This company markets art work, accessories, and furniture exclusively to design industry professionals. The original concept of our Company was to have a business which markets art work, accessories, furniture, and interior design consulting to the public.

We plan to purchase most, if not all, of our products from Accessory Warehouse. These products will be purchased under the same or better terms and conditions which Accessory Warehouse would give to unaffiliated third parties.

We established our business strategy on the premise that on site consulting to the public is a valuable service. We believe that most people do not have the time or expertise to furnish their offices or living spaces with art, mirrors, or other accessories.

We provide products that we believe share an aesthetic appeal and possess distinctive design elements. We combine these products with our interior design consulting, to give our clients a complete package of goods and services. We provide detailed information regarding the designer and key design and functional elements about each product. We obtain our merchandise from select domestic designers and manufacturers that meet our requirements for design, quality, packaging, and consistency of production and flow. We believe that our individual assortment of products serves as a competitive advantage.

We believe our success requires the development and maintenance of a broad base of residential and commercial clients. Our clients include commercial and professional business offices, along with high end homes. We target educated consumers focused on quality of life and interested in self-enrichment. Historically, our residential customers have been almost as likely to be male as female, have spanned a wide range of ages and typically have had household incomes greater than $75,000. We sell to the following commercial clients, who we believe are representative of our commercial client base in a number of different industries, including: architects, doctors, lawyers, and accountants.

Industry Overview
 
We believe that businesses have begun to place more emphasis on design. A November 2003 article in Fortune magazine highlighted organizational initiatives at several major corporations, which have created new positions for design professionals and promoted other design professionals, reflecting the growing importance of design in selling their products or services.

We believe small businesses, which account for all of our commercial sales, historically have also had difficulties gaining access to design furnishings. We believe that the design furnishings industry has generally marketed and sold most design products in a manner that effectively excludes small businesses as buyers. Factors that contribute to the exclusion of small businesses from the market for design products include: the imposition of minimum order requirements that often exceed such buyers’ requirements, limited physical presence of product sellers in smaller markets; and lack of interest from product distributors to sell to smaller buyers, among others.

 We believe this large segment of the commercial market has traditionally been underserved and will continue to be particularly receptive to our product offerings.

 
- 4 -

 

We believe our business model makes design-oriented products available for convenient purchase to a broad array of residential and commercial consumers, helping us further expand and penetrate the market for design products.

Operations, Management and Employees

We believe that initially operating from one location will be central to our overall success. We sell to the public through direct contact with our employees. Our plan is to concentrate our operations in the State of Colorado. We have no plans to operate in additional locations.
 
We have two full-time employees, not including our two officers. As we expand, we intend to hire additional employees. However, we have no present plans to do so. We may hire part-time help as needed from time-to-time for specific projects.

While our Mr. and Mrs. Sheehan have had extensive experience in our business, we must eventually recruit additional personnel. We will strive to maintain quality and consistency through the careful training and supervision of personnel and the establishment of, and adherence to, high standards relating to personnel performance and client service. We believe that we will be able to attract high quality, experienced personnel by paying competitive wages and salaries.

Markets

We plan to market through direct contact with prospective clients. We have no sales representative who solicits potential clients. However, Mr. and Mrs. Sheehan, along with Mrs. Gregarek, plan to use their contacts to continue to generate the clients and will attempt to develop repeat business from every project.

Raw Materials

The use of raw materials is not a material factor in our operations at the present time. We do not expect raw materials to be a material factor in the future.

Customers and Competition

The market for residential and commercial furnishings is fragmented with no single company holding a dominant market position. The market includes numerous smaller specialty retailers, as well as department stores, larger mass merchandisers and interior design stores, with department stores commanding a decreasing percentage of the furnishings industry compared to specialty retailers. In recent years, the industry has been characterized by consolidation, the withdrawal of certain retailers from the marketplace and a de-emphasis by traditional department stores on upscale merchandise, leaving fewer large competitors focused exclusively on this segment of the furnishings market.
 
We face competition from several sources, including the following:
 
·
design companies selling solely through catalog and online;

·
regional retailers specializing in design;

All of our competitors are larger than us and have substantially greater financial, marketing and other resources than we do.

 
- 5 -

 

The U.S. retail industry, along with the catalog and online commerce sectors are highly competitive, dynamic in nature and have undergone significant change over the past several years. Our ability to anticipate and respond successfully to these changes is critical to our long-term growth. If we are unable to maintain or increase our market share or compete effectively in the furnishings market, our business, financial condition and operating results would be adversely affected.
 
We believe that the ability to compete successfully is determined by a variety of factors, including quality of product selection, effective product presentation, client service and pricing. We believe that we can compete favorably on the basis of these factors.

We also believe that we offer our clients flexibility and cost savings because our overhead is lower than many of our competitors. However, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to successfully compete.

Our top client in fiscal year 2008 accounted for approximately 95 % of our revenues. In fiscal year 2007 our four top clients accounted for approximately 61% of our revenues. We plan to particularly focus on this aspect of our business in the next twelve months.

Backlog

At December 31, 2008, we had no backlogs.

Employees

We have two full-time employees, not including our two officers. As we expand, we intend to hire additional employees. However, we have no present plans to do so. We may hire part-time help as needed from time-to-time for specific projects. We do not pay salaries to our two officers. However, we reimburse them for any out-of-pocket expenses they incur on our behalf. In addition, in the future, we may approve the payment of salaries for our management, but currently, no such plans have been approved. We do not currently pay for vacation, holidays or provide major medical coverage. None of our officers or directors is a party to any employment agreement. However, we may adopt such plans in the future.

Proprietary Information

We do not currently have any patent or trademark protection. If we determine it is feasible to file for such trademark protection, we still have no assurance that doing so will prevent competitors from using the same or similar names, marks, concepts or appearance.

Government Regulation

We are not subject to any material government or industry regulation.
 
Research and Development

We have never spent any amount in research and development activities.

Environmental Compliance

Since we only act in the capacity of an intermediary, we do not expect environmental laws to have any material impact on us.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS.

You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and the other information in this document before deciding to invest in shares of our common stock.

The occurrence of any of the following risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating result. In this case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you might lose all or part of your investment.

Risks Associated With our Company

We have had a history of losses and may not be able to develop profitability.
 
We had a net loss of $53,993 on revenues of $153,164 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, compared to a net loss of $31,854 on revenues of $80,265 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.  We cannot assure you that we will generate profits in the future, even if our sales increase dramatically. We will need to generate greater revenues and improved margins to achieve and maintain profitability in the future. If our operating losses continue on a long-term basis, we may experience a shortage of working capital that could adversely affect our business or our ability to continue our business, in which case our stock price may decline, perhaps significantly, and you could lose the value of your investment.

Because we had incurred continuing operating losses, our accountants have expressed doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern.
 
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, our accountants have expressed doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as a result of our continued net losses. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon:
 
·
our ability to locate clients who will purchase our products and use our  services; and

·
our ability to generate substantial revenues.

Based upon current plans, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods because we will be incurring expenses and not generating sufficient revenues. We expect approximately $55,000 in operating costs over the next twelve months. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in generating sufficient revenues or other funds in the future to cover these operating costs. Failure to generate sufficient revenues will cause us to go out of business.

 
- 7 -

 

Our limited operating history makes it difficult for us to evaluate our future business prospects and make decisions based on those estimates of our future performance.

The concept for our business model was developed in 2002. Even though we have operated as a corporation for some time, we have a limited operating history, based upon limited revenues and a lack of profitability. These factors make it difficult to evaluate our business on the basis of historical operations. As a consequence, our past results may not be indicative of future results. Although this is true for any business, it is particularly true for us because of our limited operating history. Reliance on historical results may hinder our ability to anticipate and timely adapt to increases or decreases in sales, revenues or expenses. For example, if we overestimate our future sales for a particular period or periods based on our historical growth rate, we may increase our overhead and other operating expenses to a greater degree than we would have if we correctly anticipated the lower sales level for that period and reduced our controllable expenses accordingly. If we make poor budgetary decisions as a result of unreliable historical data, we could continue to incur losses, which may result in a decline in our stock price.

We have no experience as a public company.

We have never operated as a public company. We have no experience in complying with the various rules and regulations which are required of a public company. As a result, we may not be able to operate successfully as a public company, even if our operations are successful. We plan to comply with all of the various rules and regulations which are required of a public company. However, if we cannot operate successfully as a public company, your investment may be materially adversely affected. Our inability to operate as a public company could be the basis of your losing your entire investment in us.

Our clients have no obligation to purchase from us, which may result in sudden declines in sales.

Our client mix currently consists of approximately ninety percent commercial and professional business offices, and ten percent high-end residential homes. We do not have supply agreements or other volume commitments that are binding on our clients, and our sales originate solely from individual purchase orders that we negotiate with our individual clients. As a consequence, our clients are not obligated to purchase any amount of our products and they may choose to stop or decrease their level of product purchases from us at any time, without giving us prior notice. This could cause our sales to fluctuate, and we could experience a sudden and unexpected decline in sales. We could experience unexpected operational losses if our client sales were to decline significantly without notice.

We currently rely upon two clients for a majority of our sales, which means that we could be severally impacted by the loss of one or both of them.

Our revenue projections are subject to greater uncertainty than if we had volume commitments from one or more of our largest clients. Our top client in fiscal year 2008 accounted for approximately 95 % of our revenues. In fiscal year 2007 our four top clients accounted for approximately 61% of our revenues. We could be severally impacted by the loss of any of them. As long as we rely upon a few clients for a majority of our sales, we could be subject to uncertain revenue results, if we lose a major client. We cannot assure you that these clients, or any of our clients, will continue to purchase our products in significant volume, or at all.

We are implementing a strategy to grow and expand our business, which is expensive and may not generate increases in our revenues.

We intend to expand our business, and we plan to incur expenses associated with our growth and expansion. Although we recently raised funds through public and private offerings to implement our growth strategy, these funds may not be adequate to offset all of the expenses we incur in expanding our business. We will need to generate greater revenues to offset expenses associated with our growth, and we may be unsuccessful in achieving greater revenues, despite our attempts to grow our business. If our growth strategies do not result in increased revenues, we may have to abandon our plans for further growth or may even reduce the current size of our operations.

We may need to raise additional funds, and these funds may not be available when we need them.
 
Based on our current plans, we have adjusted our operating expenses so that cash generated from operations and from working capital financing is expected to be sufficient for the foreseeable future to fund our operations at our currently forecasted levels. This has not always been the case, since we have had a history of losses. To try to operate at a break-even level based upon our current level of anticipated business activity, we believe that we must generate approximately $100,000 in revenue per year. However, if our forecasts are inaccurate, we will need to raise additional funds. On the other hand, we may choose to scale back our operations to operate at break-even with a smaller level of business activity, while adjusting our overhead to meet the revenue from current operations. In addition, we expect that we will need to raise additional funds if we decide to pursue more rapid expansion, the development of new or enhanced services and products, appropriate responses to competitive pressures, or the acquisition of complementary businesses or technologies, or if we must respond to unanticipated events that require us to make additional investments. . We cannot assure that additional financing will be available when needed on favorable terms, or at all. If these funds are not available when we need them, then we may need to change our business strategy and reduce our rate of growth.

We must effectively manage the growth of our operations, or we may outgrow our current infrastructure.

As of December 31, 2008, we had two employees. If we experience rapid growth of our operations, we could see a backlog of client orders. We can resolve these capacity issues by hiring additional personnel and upgrading our infrastructure. However, we cannot guarantee that sufficient additional personnel will be available or that we will find suitable technology to aid our growth. In any case, we will continue pursuing additional sales growth for our company. Expanding our infrastructure will be expensive, and will require us to train our workforce, and improve our financial and managerial controls to keep pace with the growth of our operations.
 
Because we are small and do not have much capital, we must limit our operations. A company in our industry with limited operations has a smaller opportunity to be successful.

Because we are small and do not have much capital, we must limit our operations. We must limit our operations to the State of Colorado as the only geographical area in which we operate. Because we may have to limit our operations, we may not generate sufficient sales to make a profit. If we do not make a profit, we may have to suspend or cease operations.

 
- 9 -

 

Because our current officers and directors are involved with other businesses in the same industry, the manner in which we operate may create the possibility of a conflict of interest.

All of our officers and directors are also involved with other businesses in the same industry. Mr. and Mrs. Sheehan own the Accessory Warehouse, Inc. Mrs. Gregarek is an independent contractor for interior design work. These other arrangements could create conflict of interest with respect to our operations. Each of our officers and directors is aware of their responsibilities with respect to corporate opportunities and plans to operate our Company in such a manner as to minimize the effect of any conflict of interest. Each officer and director has agreed to contract with the Company on the same or better terms and conditions than each would with unaffiliated third parties and to deal with the public for interior design work only through the Company. Each of these officers and directors will use their best judgments to resolve all potential conflicts. The other related business activities of our officers and directors involve sales limited to design professionals. We cannot guarantee that any potential conflicts can be avoided.
 
Our success will be dependent upon our management.

Our success will be dependent upon the decision making of our directors and executive officers. These individuals intend to commit as much time as necessary to our business, but this commitment is no assurance of success. The loss of any or all of these individuals, particularly Mr. and Mrs. Sheehan, could have a material, adverse impact on our operations. We have no written employment agreements with any officers and directors, including Mr. and Mrs. Sheehan. We have not obtained key man life insurance on the lives of any of these individuals.

We face substantial competition from numerous sources, many of which have access to better resources.

Competition in sale of art work and interior design services is intense. We compete with a diverse group of competitors ranging from internet businesses to traditional brick-and-mortar companies, many of which have greater resources than we do. We believe that barriers to entry in this business are not significant and start-up costs are relatively low, so our competition may increase in the future. Our belief that there are minimal barriers to entry is based on our observation that operations such as ours do not require the ownership of warehouses, showrooms or factories to operate, which we think is because (i) our direct ship business can be operated with minimal warehousing needs and costs, which are significantly less than traditional models, (ii) wholesale product orders can be placed after receipt of client orders, in order to further reduce warehousing needs, (iii) samples can be shown to clients at little or no cost, without the necessity of showroom space for actual product, (iv) if a competitor wants showroom space, it is typically available for lease at competitive rates in most United States markets, and (v) all manufacturing can be done by third party suppliers, so there is no need to own or lease a manufacturing facility. New competitors may be able to launch new businesses similar to ours, and current competitors may replicate our business model, at a relatively low cost. If competitors with significantly greater resources than ours decide to replicate our business model, they may be able to quickly gain recognition and acceptance of their business methods, products and services through marketing and promotion. We may not have the resources to compete effectively with current or future competitors. If we are unable to effectively compete, we will lose sales to our competitors and our revenues will decline.

 
- 10 -

 

Our directors have the ability to significantly influence any matters to be decided by the stockholders, which may prevent or delay a change in control of our company.

The current members of our Board of Directors beneficially own, in the aggregate, approximately 78.5% of our common stock, on a fully diluted basis. As a result, if they choose to vote in concert, our directors are collectively able to significantly influence the outcome of any corporate matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including any transaction that might cause a change in control, such as a merger or acquisition. It is unlikely that stockholders in favor of a matter, which is opposed by the Board of Directors, would be able to obtain the number of votes necessary to overrule the vote of the Board of Directors. Further, the control by the directors means that they may make decisions for us with which you may disagree or that you may feel is not in our best interests.

We may need to substantially increase our marketing efforts in order to grow our business, which is expensive.

In order to grow our business, we will need to develop and maintain widespread recognition and acceptance of our company, our business model, our services and our products. We believe that we have presented our service and product offering to only a small percentage of the potential market. Currently, we rely primarily on word of mouth from our existing clients and contacts we develop personally through industry events to promote and market ourselves. In order to successfully grow our company, we may need to significantly increase our financial commitment to creating awareness and acceptance of our company among retailers, which would be expensive. In fiscal year 2006, marketing and advertising expenses were negligible. If we fail to successfully market and promote our business, we could lose current clients to our competitors, or our growth efforts may be ineffective. If we incur significant expenses promoting and marketing ourselves, it could cause our profitability to decline.

Our business is not diversified, which could result in significant fluctuations in our operating results.

All of our business is involved in the marketing of art work products and interior design services, and, accordingly, is dependent upon trends in the interior design sector. Downturns in the interior design sector could have a material adverse effect on our business. A downturn in the interior design sector may reduce our stock price, even if our business is successful.

Risks Associated With our Securities.
 
Buying low-priced penny stocks is very risky and speculative.

Our common stock is defined as a penny stock under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, and rules of the Commission. The Exchange Act and such penny stock rules generally impose additional sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who sell our securities to persons other than certain accredited investors who are, generally, institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 jointly with spouse, or in transactions not recommended by the broker-dealer. For transactions covered by the penny stock rules, a broker-dealer must make a suitability determination for each purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement prior to the sale. In addition, the broker-dealer must make certain mandated disclosures in penny stock transactions, including the actual sale or purchase price and actual bid and offer quotations, the compensation to be received by the broker-dealer and certain associated persons, and deliver certain disclosures required by the Commission. Consequently, the penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to make a market in or trade our common stock and may also affect your ability to resell any shares you may purchase in the public markets.

 
- 11 -

 

Our common stock currently has no trading market and there is no guarantee a trading market will ever develop for our securities.

There is presently no demand for our common stock. While we do intend to apply for quotation in the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, we cannot guarantee that our application will be approved and our stock listed and quoted for sale. If no market is ever developed for our common stock, it will be difficult for you to sell any shares you purchase. In such a case, you may find that you are unable to achieve any benefit from your investment or liquidate your shares without considerable delay, if at all. In addition, if we fail to have our common stock quoted on a public trading market, your common stock will not have a quantifiable value and it may be difficult, if not impossible, to ever resell your shares, resulting in an inability to realize any value from your investment.
 
The over-the-counter market for stock such as ours has had extreme price and volume fluctuations.

The securities of companies such as ours have historically experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations during certain periods. These broad market fluctuations and other factors, such as new product developments and trends in the our industry and in the investment markets generally, as well as economic conditions and quarterly variations in our operational results, may have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock.
 
All of our common stock is restricted but could become eligible for resale under Rule 144; this could cause the market price of our common stock to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well.

Of our total outstanding shares, 10,300,000 or approximately 95% are restricted from immediate resale but may now be sold into the market subject to volume and manner of sale limitations under Rule 144. This could cause the market price of our common stock to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well. We have outstanding 10,820,600 shares of common stock outstanding at March 25, 2009. This includes the common shares which we sold to the public in our recent public offering, which may be resold in the public market immediately.

As restrictions on resale end, the market price of our stock could drop significantly if the holders of restricted shares sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them.

We do not expect to pay dividends on common stock.

We have not paid any cash dividends with respect to our common stock, and it is unlikely that we will pay any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Earnings, if any, that we may realize will be retained in the business for further development and expansion.


ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY.

The Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990

The Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990 requires additional disclosure and documentation related to the market for penny stock and for trades in any stock defined as a penny stock. Unless we can acquire substantial assets and trade at over $5.00 per share on the bid, it is more likely than not that our securities, for some period of time, would be defined under that Act as a "penny stock." As a result, those who trade in our securities may be required to provide additional information related to their fitness to trade our shares. These requirements present a substantial burden on any person or brokerage firm who plans to trade our securities and would thereby make it unlikely that any liquid trading market would ever result in our securities while the provisions of this Act might be applicable to those securities.

Any broker-dealer engaged by the purchaser for the purpose of selling his or her shares in us will be subject to Rules 15g-1 through 15g-10 of the Securities and Exchange Act. Rather than creating a need to comply with those rules, some broker-dealers will refuse to attempt to sell penny stock.

The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission, which:

-
contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading;
 
-
contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended;
 
-
contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including "bid" and "ask" prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price;
 
-
contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;
 
-
defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading penny stocks; and
 
-
contains such other information and is in such form (including language, type, size and format) as the Securities and Exchange Commission shall require by rule or regulation;

The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, to the customer:

-
the bid and offer quotations for the penny stock;

-
the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction;

-
the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and

-
monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account.


 
- 14 -

 

In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements will have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock because it will be subject to these penny stock rules. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling their securities.

Stock Transfer Agent

The stock transfer agent for our securities is Corporate Stock Transfer of Denver, Colorado.  Their address is 3200 Cherry Creek Drive South, Suite 430, Denver, Colorado 80209. Their phone number is (303)282-4800.


ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

A smaller reporting company is not required to provide the information in this Item.


ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Certain statements in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements such as statements relating to future operating results, existing and expected competition, financing and refinancing sources and availability and plans for future development or expansion activities and capital expenditures. Such forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties that may significantly affect our liquidity and results in the future and, accordingly, actual results may differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those related to effects of competition, leverage and debt service financing and refinancing efforts, general economic conditions, and changes in applicable laws or regulations. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.

Critical Accounting Policies

We have identified the following policies below as critical to our business and results of operations. For further discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies, see Note 1 to the accompanying audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007, included elsewhere in this document. Our reported results are impacted by the application of the following accounting policies, certain of which require management to make subjective or complex judgments. These judgments involve making estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may significantly impact quarterly or annual results of operations. For all of these policies, management cautions that future events rarely develop exactly as expected, and the best estimates routinely require adjustment. Specific risks associated with these critical accounting policies are described in the following paragraphs.

 
- 15 -

 

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Results of Operations

We have a history of losses. Furthermore, our losses may continue into the future. We have never had a profitable fiscal year, including the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.

We have had declining revenues for some reporting periods but had an increase in revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. The changes in revenues from year to year have been a direct result of our marketing efforts, or lack thereof, and the number of clients and projects we generate.

Our accountants have expressed doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as a result of our continued net losses. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon our ability to locate clients who will purchase our products and use our services and our ability to generate revenues.

Comparing our operations, we had sales-net of returns of $153,164 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008. This compares with sales-net of returns of $80,265 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007. We had an increase in the number of projects, which was the basis for our increase in sales.

Our costs of goods for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008 was $150,042, or approximately 97.9% of sales-net of returns. Our costs of goods for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 was $57,932, or approximately 72.2% of sales-net of returns. Costs of goods sold include all direct costs incurred in selling products. We do not separate sales of different product lines into operating segments.

The difference between total sales-net of returns and costs of goods is gross profit. Our gross profit for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008 was $3,122. This compares with gross profit for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 was $22,333. Our higher percentage in cost of goods resulted in a lower percentage gross profit for 2008, compared to 2007.

To the extent that we market more products and fewer consulting services in connection with our sales, our cost of goods is a much larger factor, which tends to reduce our gross profitability. We make a higher gross profit from our consulting services than from our product sales. In addition, some product sales have higher profit margins. Our lower gross profit in 2008 is a reflection of both lower profit margins on product and fewer consulting services as a part of overall sales.

Operating expenses, which includes depreciation and general and administrative expenses for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008 was $57,115. This compares to operating expenses for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 of $54,187. The major components of operating expenses include professional fees, salaries and associated payroll costs, rent and telephone expenses.

 
- 16 -

 

We believe that operating expenses in current operations should remain fairly constant as product sales and consulting services improve. Each additional sale or service and correspondingly the gross profit of such sale or service have minimal offsetting operating expenses. Thus, additional sales could become profit at a higher return on sales rate as a result of not needing to expand operating expenses at the same pace.

We had a net loss of $53,993 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008. This compares with a net loss of $31,854 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.

Based upon our current plans, we have adjusted our operating expenses so that cash generated from operations and from working capital is expected to be sufficient for the foreseeable future to fund our operations at our currently forecasted levels. This has not always been the case, since we have had a history of losses. To try to operate at a break-even level based upon our current level of anticipated business activity, we believe that we must generate approximately $100,000 in revenue per year. However, if our forecasts are inaccurate, we will need to raise additional funds. On the other hand, we may choose to scale back our operations to operate at break-even with a smaller level of business activity, while adjusting our overhead to meet the revenue from current operations. In addition, we expect that we will need to raise additional funds if we decide to pursue more rapid expansion, the development of new or enhanced services and products, appropriate responses to competitive pressures, or the acquisition of complementary businesses or technologies, or if we must respond to unanticipated events that require us to make additional investments. We cannot assure that additional financing will be available when needed on favorable terms, or at all.

We expect to incur operating losses in future periods because we will be incurring expenses and not generating sufficient revenues. We expect approximately $55,000 in operating costs over the next twelve months. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in generating sufficient revenues or other funds in the future to cover these operating costs. Failure to generate sufficient revenues or additional financing when needed could cause us to go out of business
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2008, we had cash or cash equivalents of $80,390, compared to $112,664 as of December 31, 2007.

Net cash used for operating activities was $32,274 for the period ended December 31, 2008, compared to $27,839  for the period ended December 31, 2007. We anticipate that overhead costs in current operations will remain fairly constant as sales improve.

Cash flows used by investing activities were $-0-for the period ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.

Cash flows provided by financing activities accounted for $-0- for the period ended December 31, 2008 compared to $109,330 for the period ended December 31, 2007. These cash flows were all related to sales of stock and deferred offering costs for both periods.

 We believe that our recent public offering will provide sufficient capital in the short term for our current level of operations. This is because we believe that we can attract sufficient additional product sales and services within our present organizational structure and resources to become profitable in our operations. Additional resources will be needed to expand into additional locations, which we have no plans to do at this time.

 
- 17 -

 

Otherwise, we do not anticipate needing to raise additional capital resources in the next twelve months.

Until current operations become cash flow positive, our officers and directors may be required to fund the operations to continue the business. At this time, other than our cash, we have no other resources on which to get cash if needed without their assistance.

Our principle source of liquidity is our operations. Our variation in revenues is based upon the level of our sales activity and will account for the difference between a profit and a loss. Also business activity is closely tied to the economy of Denver and the U.S. economy. A slow down in interior design work will have a negative impact to our business. In any case, we try to operate with minimal overhead. Our primary activity will be to seek to expand the interior design projects and, consequently, our sales. If we succeed in expanding our client base and generating sufficient sales, we will become profitable. We cannot guarantee that this will ever occur. Our plan is to build our company in any manner which will be successful.

Plan of Operation

Our plan for the next twelve months is to operate at a profit or at break even. Our plan is to attract sufficient additional product sales and services within our present organizational structure and resources to become profitable in our operations.

Currently, we are conducting business in only one location in the Denver Metropolitan area. We have no plans to expand into other locations or areas. The timing of the completion of the milestones needed to become profitable are not directly dependent on the success of our public offering. We believe that we can achieve profitability as we are presently organized with sufficient business.
 
Other than the shares offered by our recent public offering, no other source of capital has been identified or sought.

If we are not successful in our operations we will be faced with several options:

1.
Cease operations and go out of business;

2.
Continue to seek alternative and acceptable sources of capital;

3.
Bring in additional capital that may result in a change of control; or

4.
Identify a candidate for acquisition that seeks access to the public marketplace and its financing sources.

Currently, we have sufficient capital to implement our proposed business operations or to sustain them for the next twelve months. If we can become profitable, we could operate at our present level indefinitely.

To date, we have never had any discussions with any possible acquisition candidate. However, if we cannot operate our business in a profitable manner, we may seek other opportunities, including, but not limited to, one or more acquisitions.

 
- 18 -

 

Proposed Milestones to Implement Business Operations
 
At the present time, we are operating from one location in the Denver Metropolitan area. Our plan is to make our operation profitable by the end of our next fiscal year. We estimate that we must generate approximately $3,000 in sales per month to be profitable.

We believe that we can be profitable or at break even by the end of the current fiscal year, assuming sufficient sales. Based upon our current plans, we have adjusted our operating expenses so that cash generated from operations and from working capital financing is expected to be sufficient for the foreseeable future to fund our operations at our currently forecasted levels. This has not always been the case, since we have had a history of losses. To try to operate at a break-even level based upon our current level of anticipated business activity, we believe that we must generate approximately $100,000 in revenue per year. However, if our forecasts are inaccurate, we will need to raise additional funds. On the other hand, we may choose to scale back our operations to operate at break-even with a smaller level of business activity, while adjusting our overhead to meet the revenue from current operations. In addition, we expect that we will need to raise additional funds if we decide to pursue more rapid expansion, the development of new or enhanced services and products, appropriate responses to competitive pressures, or the acquisition of complementary businesses or technologies, or if we must respond to unanticipated events that require us to make additional investments. We cannot assure that additional financing will be available when needed on favorable terms, or at all.

We expect to incur operating losses in future periods because we will be incurring expenses and not generating sufficient revenues. We expect approximately $55,000 in operating costs over the next twelve months. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in generating sufficient revenues or other funds in the future to cover these operating costs. Failure to generate sufficient revenues or additional financing when needed could cause us to go out of business
 
No commitments to provide additional funds have been made by management or current shareholders. There is no assurance that additional funds will be made available to us on terms that will be acceptable, or at all, if and when needed. We expect to continue to generate and increase sales, but there can be no assurance we will generate sales sufficient to continue operations or to expand.

We also are planning to rely on the possibility of referrals from clients and will strive to satisfy our clients. We believe that referrals will be an effective form of advertising because of the quality of service that we bring to clients. We believe that satisfied clients will bring more and repeat clients. In the next 12 months, we do not intend to spend any funds on research and development and do not intend to purchase any large equipment.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

We do not expect the adoption of any recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on our net results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

Seasonality

We do not expect our sales to be impacted by seasonal demands for our products and services.

Trends

There are no known trends, events or uncertainties that have had or that are reasonably expected to have a material impact on the net sales or revenues or income from our proposed operations. Our management has not made any commitments, which will require any material financial resources.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


Board of Directors
Art Design, Inc.
Englewood, Colorado

I have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Art Design, Inc. as of December 31, 2007 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit.

I conducted my audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that I 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.  I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion.

In my opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material  respects, the consolidated financial position of Art Design, Inc. as of December 31, 2007 and 2008, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 6 to the financial statements the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a working capital deficit that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 6. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

ART DESIGN, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2007 and 2008


NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION, OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Art Design, Inc. (the “Company”), was incorporated in the State of Colorado on January 16, 2002. The Company sells art work and interior decorating to professional and business offices.

Principles of consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Art Design, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect 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.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as cash equivalents.

Accounts receivable

The Company reviews accounts receivable periodically for collectability and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts and records bad debt expense when deemed necessary. At December 31, 2007 and 2008 the Company had no balance in its allowance for doubtful accounts.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated under accelerated methods over each item's estimated useful life.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized on an accrual basis as earned under contract terms, generally when ordered products are shipped, and any corresponding consulting and design services have been rendered.

ART DESIGN, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2007 and 2008

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION, OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  (Continued):

Advertising costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The Company had no advertising costs in 2007 or 2008.

Income tax

The Company accounts for income taxes under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (“SFAS 109”). Under SFAS 109 deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

Net income (loss) per share

The net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common outstanding. Warrants, stock options, and common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Company's preferred stock (if any), are not included in the computation if the effect would be anti-dilutive and would increase the earnings or decrease loss per share.

Financial Instruments

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, as reported in the accompanying balance sheets, approximates fair value.

Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the Company regularly reviews the carrying value of intangible and other long-lived assets for the existence of facts or circumstances, both internally and externally, that may suggest impairment. If impairment testing indicates a lack of recoverability, an impairment loss is recognized by the Company if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value.

ART DESIGN, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2007 and 2008
 

 

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION, OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  (Continued):

Products and services, geographic areas and major customers

The Company earns revenue from the sale of art products and design services, but does not separate sales of different product lines into operating segments. The Company does not separately report revenue from art products versus that from design and consulting services, as both are generally sold to the customer as part of a complete package, making separation impractical. All sales each year were domestic and to external customers.

NOTE 2. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company has a note payable to a Company officer. The note is unsecured and payable upon demand. The note bears interest at 8% per annum if not paid promptly upon demand. The outstanding principal balance on the note was $34,201 at December 31, 2007 and 2008.

The Company purchases materials from and pays occasional operating expenses to a  company related through common control. Cost of goods sold incurred from the related company was $45,985 and $150,042 in 2007 and 2008. The Company had related party payables at December 31, 2007 and 2008 of $29,135 and $309 for materials, services and rent advanced to the Company.

The Company also recorded compensation expense of $500 per month in 2007 for administrative and management services donated to the Company by an officer. Total donated services compensation expense for 2007 was $6,000.

NOTE 3. INCOME TAXES

Deferred income taxes arise from the temporary differences between financial statement and income tax recognition of net operating losses. These loss carryovers are limited under the Internal Revenue Code should a significant change in ownership occur.

At December 31, 2007 and 2008 the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $21,000 and $71,000 which begin to expire in 2026. The deferred tax asset of $4,200 and $14,000 created by the net operating loss has been offset by a 100% valuation allowance. The change in the valuation allowance in 2007 and 2008 was $4,000 and $10,000.

  $ 2,035     $ 1,615  

Depreciation expense in 2007 and 2008 was $1,776 and $420.


NOTE 5. OTHER MATTERS

During 2008 the Company’s subsidiary Art Dimensions, Inc., granted 350,000 common stock warrants to two entities including 300,000 to a related party, allowing the holder to purchase one share of common stock of Art Dimensions, Inc. per warrant, exercisable immediately at a price of $0.001 per share with the warrant terms expiring in 2013. As of December 31, 2008 all of these warrants remained outstanding. The fair value of these warrant grants were estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: risk free interest rate of 3.52%, dividend yield of 0%, expected life of 5 years, volatility of 142%. The Company recorded total compensation expense under the warrant issuances of $3,407 in 2008. Art Design, Inc. has filed a registration statement with the SEC to spin-off Art Dimensions, Inc. as an independent entity.

NOTE 6. GOING CONCERN

The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a large working capital deficit. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company may raise additional capital through the sale of its equity securities, through offerings of debt securities, or through borrowings from financial institutions. Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

ITEM 9. DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.

We did not have any disagreements on accounting and financial disclosures with our present accounting firm during the reporting period.
 

ITEM 9A(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act).   Accordingly, we initially concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, and summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Subsequently, we received comment from the SEC which has led us to conclude that our failure to provide our report on internal control over financial reporting meant that our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) were not effective as December 31, 2008. We have implemented procedures to correct this situation in the future.
 
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
 
i.            pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
ii.            provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of our  consolidated financial statements in  accordance with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles, and  that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with  authorizations of our management and directors; and
iii.           provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
 
 
- 32 -

 

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.

Management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as December 31, 2008.

Inherent Limitations Over Internal Controls

Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error and circumvention by collusion or overriding of controls. Accordingly, even an effective internal control system may not prevent or detect material misstatements on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

We have made no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management's report in this annual report on Form 10-K.

Nothing to report.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires the Company’s directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company’s outstanding equity securities to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of Common Stock and other equity securities of the Company. Officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Committees of the Board of Directors

Currently, we do not have any committees of the Board of Directors.

Director and Executive Compensation

No compensation has been paid and no stock options granted to any of our officers or directors in the last three fiscal years.

Employment Agreements

We have no written employment agreements with any of our executive officers or key employees.

Equity Incentive Plan

We have not adopted an equity incentive plan, and no stock options or similar instruments have been granted to any of our officers or directors.

Indemnification and Limitation on Liability of Directors

Our Articles of Incorporation limit the liability of our directors to the fullest extent permitted by Colorado law. Specifically, our directors will not be personally liable to our company or any of its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as directors, except liability for (i) any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders; (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) voting for or assenting to a distribution in violation of Colorado Revised Statutes Section 7-106-401 or the articles of incorporation if it is established that the director did not perform his duties in compliance with Colorado Revised Statutes Section 7-108-401, provided that the personal liability of a director in this circumstance shall be limited to the amount of distribution which exceeds what could have been distributed without violation of Colorado Revised Statutes Section 7-106-401 or the articles of incorporation; or (iv) any transaction from which the director directly or indirectly derives an improper personal benefit. Nothing contained in the provisions will be construed to deprive any director of his right to all defenses ordinarily available to the director nor will anything herein be construed to deprive any director of any right he may have for contribution from any other director or other person.

At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors, officers, employees or agents where indemnification will be required or permitted. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.
