PART I

ITEM 1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

GENERAL

Exclusive Apparel, Inc., Inc. (“Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 8, 2006. Exclusive Apparel, Inc., Inc. is a developmental stage company with a principal business objective of offering premium baseball cap type headwear for women with exquisite taste and extravagant appetites as exclusive accessories to differentiate themselves.  Exclusive Apparel, Inc is committed to producing exclusive ball-type caps that are stylish and unique that caters to a more progressive clientele.  The Company will focus on baseball hat type headwear before it expands to belts, handbags and other similar accessories.

Exclusive Apparel, Inc. is a development stage company that has not significantly commenced its planned principal operations. Exclusive Apparel, Inc. operations to date have been devoted primarily to startup and development activities, which include the following:

 
1.
Formation of the Company;

 
2.
Development of the Exclusive Apparel, Inc. business plan;

 
3.
Conducted research on potential markets;

 
4.
Identified contract designer, graphic artist, sewing manufacturer, screen printer and embroider to design and manufacturer our products.

 
5.
Formulated multi-faceted marketing plan and marketing campaign in an effort to introduce our products to the market on a broader scope;

 
6.
Formulated pilot programs for prospective markets;

 
7.
Finalized sketches and chose fabric and materials for initial pilot production;

 
8.
Identified appropriate distribution channels utilizing independent sales representatives and middlemen.

Exclusive Apparel, Inc., Inc. is attempting to become operational. In order to generate revenues, Exclusive Apparel, Inc. must address the following areas:

 
1.
Develop and Implement a Marketing Plan: In order to penetrate our targeted market, Exclusive Apparel, Inc. will use a multi-faceted marketing plan that includes a high-end website, exclusive catalogs, and a target specific marketing campaign directed to design consultants that cater to celebrities and higher-end income clients.


 
2

 

Phase II of the marketing effort will commence once we have gained recognition among celebrities and the more affluent fashionable consumer.  The phase II plan will consist of exploiting the appropriate distribution channels using independent representatives who are experienced in accessory sales to high-end boutiques and upscale department stores. These independent representatives work as middlemen between Exclusive Apparel and the retailer.  They are aggressive in that they will go directly to the retailers, work applicable trade shows, send samples and CAD sheets, and work directly with other accessory representatives to penetrate their desired retail accounts.  Independent Representatives are paid a commission that is typically 15% plus expenses.  Sales representatives will have a set monthly budget for samples and supplies provided by Exclusive Apparel.

 
2.
Tailoring our website: Exclusive Apparel, Inc. has secured a web site domain located at www\\exclusiveapparel.biz.  The site is currently under construction and upon securing additional funding, the Company has plans to enhance the web site.

Since our inception on September 8, 2006 to December 31, 2009, the Company did not generate any significant revenues and has incurred a cumulative net loss of $232,332.  The Company has been unable to raise the necessary capital in order to implement its business and it is necessary for the Company to review other business models and opportunities in order to continue as a going concern.  There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise any capital or find a business opportunity that will allow the Company to become operational.  As a result, our independent auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern in the independent auditors’ report to the financial statements included in the registration statement.

Exclusive Apparel, Inc., Inc. currently has one officer and one director. This individual allocates time and personal resources to Exclusive Apparel, Inc. on a part-time basis.

As of the date of this report, Exclusive Apparel, Inc. has 37,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock issued and outstanding.

Exclusive Apparel, Inc., Inc.’s fiscal year end is December 31.

EMPLOYEES

We have no full time employees.  Georgette Mathers, our President, Secretary and Treasurer has agreed to allocate a portion of her time to our activities without compensation.

ITEM 2.  DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

Exclusive Apparel, Inc. uses an administrative office located at 8860 Greenlawn Street, Riverside, California 92508. The office space is free of charge and no lease exists. There are currently no proposed programs for the renovation, improvement or development of the facilities currently use.

Exclusive Apparel, Inc. does not presently hold any investments or interests in real estate, investments in real estate mortgages or securities of or interests in persons primarily engaged in real estate activities.

DIVIDENDS

We intend to retain future earnings to support our growth.  Any payment of cash dividends in the future will be dependent upon: the amount of funds legally available therefore; our earnings; financial condition; capital requirements; and other factors which our Board of Directors deems relevant.

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

Plan of Operation

On February 27, 2007 we received approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission of our Registration Statement on Form SB-2 wherein we registered 15,000,000 shares of our $.001 common stock in order to raise $150,000.00 as our initial capital prior to filing an application with the NASD on Form 211 to be listed on a public exchange.  To date we have raised the $147,000.00 and our application to the NASD on Form 211 was approved.  The Company now trades on the OTC:BB under the symbol EXLA.

Results of Operation

We did not have any operating income from inception (September 8, 2006) through December 31, 2009.  For the year ended December 31, 2009, we recognized a net loss of $22,896.  Some general and administrative expenses during the year were accrued.  Expenses for the year were comprised of costs mainly associated with legal, accounting, and office.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 2009, we had no capital resources and will rely upon the issuance of common stock and additional capital contributions from shareholders to fund administrative expenses.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Exclusive Apparel, Inc.


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Exclusive Apparel, Inc. as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2009 and for the period from Inception (September 8, 2006) through December 31, 2009. Exclusive Apparel, Inc.’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits 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. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Exclusive Apparel, Inc. as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2009 and for the period from Inception (September 8, 2006) through December 31, 2009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company's significant operation losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1.  Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
The summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in the understanding of the financial statements.  The financial statements and notes are representations of management.  These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted
 
Nature of business and organization
Exclusive Apparel, Inc., a Nevada corporation, (hereinafter referred to as the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 8, 2006.  The Company is high end clothing and apparel business that is dedicated to producing stylish and unique ball type headwear for women. The goal of the Company is to expand to belts, handbags, and other accessories. The Company's operation has been limited to general administrative operations and is considered a development stage company as defined by FASB ASC Topic 915 (formerly SFAS No. 7.)
 
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The Company has incurred recurring losses through December 31, 2009 and has not commenced its operations, rather, still in the development stages, raising substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The Company will seek additional sources of capital through the issuance of debt or equity financing, but there can be no assurance the Company will be successful in accomplishing its objectives.
 
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on additional sources of capital and the success of the Company’s plan.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
 
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.  The Company is subject to uncertainty of future events, economic, environmental and political factors and changes in the Company's business environment; therefore, actual results could differ from these estimates.  Accordingly, accounting estimates used in the preparation of the Company's financial statements will change as new events occur; more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as the Company's operating environment changes.  Changes are made in estimates as circumstances warrant.  Such changes in estimates and refinement of estimation methodologies are reflected in the statements.
 
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include interest bearing and non-interest bearing bank deposits, money market accounts, and short-term instruments with a liquidation provision of three month or less.
 
Revenue recognition
The Company has no revenues to date from its operations.  Once revenues are generated, management will establish a revenue recognition policy.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 

Note 1.  Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies-continued

Advertising costs
Advertising costs are generally expensed as incurred and are included in selling and marketing expenses in the accompanying statement of operations.

For the years ended of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and for the period from inception to December 31, 2009, there was no advertising cost incurred.

Fair value of financial instruments
The estimated fair values of financial instruments were determined by management using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies.  The carrying amounts of financial instruments including cash, accounts payable and advance from shareholder approximate their fair value because of their short maturities.
 
Net loss per common share
The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share” (formerly SFAS No. 128) and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98 (SAB 98).  Under the provisions of ASC 260, basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  The calculation of diluted net loss per share gives effect to common stock equivalents; however, potential common shares are excluded if their effect is antidilutive.
 
Comprehensive income
The Company accounts for comprehensive income (loss) in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 220 "Reporting Comprehensive income" (formerly SFAS No. 130) which requires comprehensive income (loss) and its components to be reported when a company has items of comprehensive income (loss).  Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income (loss) plus other comprehensive income (loss). There are no differences or reconciling items between net income and comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 and for the period from inception to December 31, 2009.
 
Income taxes
The Company accounts for its income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740 (formerly SFAS no. 109), which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax credit carry forwards.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
 
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial statement purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.  Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax liabilities and assets as of December 31, 2009 are as follows:

Deferred tax assets:
     
  Net operating loss
  $ 232,332  
Income tax rate
    34 %
      78,993  
Less valuation allowance

On August 7, 2009 the Board of Directors of Exclusive Apparel dismissed Moore & Associates, Chartered, Certified Public Accountants, and engaged the services of Seale and Beers, CPA as its independent auditor.  On September 22, 2009 the Board of Directors of Exclusive Apparel dismissed Seale and Beers, CPA as its independent auditor, and engaged the services of Rotenberg & Co., LLP as its independent auditor.  On October 1, 2009 Rotenberg and Company LLP merged with another CPA firm, EFP Group, to form a new firm.  All of the partners and employees of Rotenberg and Company LLP and EFP Group joined the new firm, EFP Rotenberg LLP.  EFP Rotenberg LLP succeeds Rotenberg and Company LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm for Exclusive Apparel, Inc. At no time have there been any disagreements with any accountants regarding any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure.
 
On August 27, 2009, the PCAOB issued PCAOB Release No. 105-2009-006 revoking the registration of Moore & Associates, Chartered and barring Michael J. Moore, CPA, from being an associated person of a registered public accounting firm. The PCAOB imposed these sanctions on the basis of its findings concerning the alleged violations of Moore & Associates, Chartered and Michael J.

A copy of the PCAOB Release can be accessed at the PCAOB website at http:www.pcaobus.org.

ITEM 9A(T)  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms.  Disclosure controls and procedure include, without limitations, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issurer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In accordance with Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15, an evaluation was completed by the Company’s President, Secretary and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report.  Based on that evaluation, the Company’s sole officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in providing reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act was recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms.

Management’s Report On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.  Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:

 
·
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
 
·
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and
 
·
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.


 
15

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  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.  All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations.  Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.  Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process.  Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.

As of December 31, 2009 management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control--Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments.  Based on that evaluation, they concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of US GAAP rules as more fully described below.  This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses.

The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) lack of a functioning audit committee due to a lack of a majority of independent members and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; and (3) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes.  The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by our Chief Executive Officer in connection with the review of our financial statements as of December 31, 2009.

Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth in items (2) and (3) above did not have an effect on our financial results.  However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and the lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.

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

Management’s Remediation Initiatives

In an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, we have initiated, or plan to initiate, the following series of measures:

We will create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and will increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function when funds are available to us.  And, we plan to appoint one or more outside directors to our board of directors who shall be appointed to an audit committee resulting in a fully functioning audit committee who will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures such as reviewing and approving estimates and assumptions made by management when funds are available to us.

Management believes that the appointment of one or more outside directors, who shall be appointed to a fully functioning audit committee, will remedy the lack of a functioning audit committee and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our Board.

ITEM 9B.  CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
