INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT
To the Board of Directors of
The Fashion House, Inc.
The Fashion House, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of The Fashion House, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2004, and the related statements of operations, stockholders deficit and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the management of the Company. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our 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 The Fashion House, Inc. as of December 31, 2004, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2004 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 incurred operating losses and had negative cash flows from operations for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, and has as an accumulated deficit of $1,285,410 and a working capital deficit of $960,275 at December 31, 2004. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

THE FASHION HOUSE, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2004 and 2003
NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and Nature of Operations
The Fashion House, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on April 11, 2002. The Company designs, develops and markets womens dress footwear with an emphasis on celebrity appeal, style, quality and fit. The Company targets the moderate to premium-priced categories of the womens footwear industry and implements its business model by licensing recognized brand names throughout the United States of America.
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates made by management include, among others, collectibility of receivables, recoverability of long-lived assets and valuation of warrants to purchase common stock and deferred tax assets. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Going Concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company incurred operating losses and had negative cash flows from operations for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, and has as an accumulated deficit of $1,285,410 and a working capital deficit of $960,275 at December 31, 2004.

THE FASHION HOUSE, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2004 and 2003
NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued
The Companys success is dependent upon numerous items, among which are the Companys successful growth of revenues from its products, its ability to obtain new customers in order to achieve levels of revenues adequate to support the Companys current and future cost structure, and its ability to obtain financing for operations, for which there is no assurance. Unanticipated problems, expenses, and delays are frequently encountered in establishing and maintaining profitable operations. These include, but are not limited to, competition, the need to develop customer support capabilities and market expertise, setbacks in product development, technical difficulties, market acceptance and sales and marketing. The failure of the Company to meet any of these conditions could have a materially adverse effect on the Company and may force the Company to reduce or curtail operations. No assurance can be given that the Company can achieve or maintain profitable operations.
The Company believes it will have adequate cash to sustain operations until it achieves sustained profitability. However, until the Company has a history of maintaining revenue levels sufficient to support its operations and repay its working capital deficit, the Company requires additional financing. Subsequent to year end, the Company entered into a private placement agreement to sell a maximum of 4,600,000 shares of its common stock at $1.00 per share (see Note 7) for which it has obtained approximately $2,400,000. There can be no assurance that additional funding will be adequate or will enable the Company to achieve or sustain profitable operations.
These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
Risks and Uncertainties
Credit Risk
The Company maintains its cash accounts in financial institutions. Accounts at these institutions are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $100,000. At December 31, 2004, the Company has cash balances which exceeded the insured limit by $87,360.
The Company assigns the majority of its trade accounts receivable to a factor (see Note 2); however, the Company maintains the credit risk with respect to collection of these amounts. The Company makes sales to customers not approved by its factor at its own risk and monitors the outstanding receivable balance. At December 31, 2004, the Company established an allowance for doubtful accounts of $12,267.

THE FASHION HOUSE, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2004 and 2003
NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued
The Company operates in an industry that is subject to intense competition. The Companys operations are subject to significant risks and uncertainties including financial, operational, technological, regulatory and other risks associated with an operating business, including the potential risk of business failure.
Merchandise Risk
The Companys success is largely dependent upon its ability to gauge the market trends and the tastes of its targeted consumers and provide merchandise that satisfies consumer demand. Any inability to provide appropriate merchandise in sufficient quantities in a timely manner could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, operating results and financial condition.
The Company purchases substantially all of its products from two vendors. The loss of either of these vendors could have a material adverse effect on the Companys cash flow and financial position.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of equipment is provided for by using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which are five years for machinery and equipment and seven years for furniture and fixtures. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred; additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations.
Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the Company evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or change in circumstances indicate that such carrying values may not be recoverable. The Company estimates the future undiscounted cash flows derived from an asset to assess whether or not a potential impairment exists when events or circumstances indicate the carrying value of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the undiscounted future cash flows are less than its carrying amount. If assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the assets. At December 31, 2004, the Companys management believes there is no impairment of its long-lived assets. There can be no assurance, however, that market conditions will not change or demand for the Companys products or services will continue, which could result in additional future impairment of long-lived assets.

THE FASHION HOUSE, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2004 and 2003
NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Companys financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, accrued payroll and related, settlement payable, due to factor, accrued interest, and note payable to stockholder. The carrying value for all such instruments approximates fair value due either to the short-term nature of the instruments or the fact that prevailing interest rates are not substantially different from the Companys borrowing rates at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004. The fair value of convertible notes payable is not determinable because of the nature of the instruments and lack of comparability with similar types of instruments.
Derivative Financial Instruments
In connection with the issuance of warrants with convertible notes payable in 2005 (see Notes 6 and 9), the Company was required to file a registration statement by November 2, 2005 and have such registration statement declared effective no later than February 15, 2006 (the Effectiveness Deadline). The Company will be required to issue the holders of convertible notes 123,750 warrants for each subsequent 30-day period that such registration statement has not been filed. Also, the Company will be required to issue the holders of convertible notes 123,750 warrants for each 30-day period the registration statement is not declared effective beyond the Effectiveness Deadline. In addition, the Company is required to include the warrants issued to the placement agent for the private placement in such registration statement (see Note 7). The Company determined that the registration rights are an embedded derivative instrument pursuant to SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities , as amended and the provisions of the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 00-19, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Companys Own Stock. The accounting treatment of these derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the derivatives at their fair values as of the inception date of the note agreements and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value will be recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense at each balance sheet date. If the fair value of the derivatives is higher at the subsequent balance sheet date, the Company will record a non-operating, non-cash charge. If the fair value of the derivatives is lower at the subsequent balance sheet date, the Company will record non-operating, non-cash income.
At June 30, 2005, there are derivative liabilities of $218,000 related to the warrants with registration rights. Due to the close proximity of the balance sheet date to the issuance date of the warrants, there was no change in valuation of the related derivatives. There were no such liabilities at December 31, 2004.
Warrant-related derivatives were valued using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions during the six months ended June 30, 2005: dividend yield of 0%; annual volatility of 62%; and risk free interest rate of 3.0%.

NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued
Beneficial Conversion Feature
The convertible feature of certain conventional convertible notes payable (see Note 6) provides for a rate of conversion that is below market value. Such feature is normally characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (BCF). Pursuant to EITF Issue No. 98-5 (EITF 98-5), Accounting For Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratio and EITF Issue No. 00-27, Application of EITF Issue No. 98-5 To Certain Convertible Instruments, the fair values of the BCFs have been recorded as a discount from the face amount of the respective debt instrument. The Company is amortizing the discount using the effective interest method through maturity of such instruments. The Company will record the corresponding unamortized debt discount related to the BCF and warrants as interest expense when the related instrument is converted into the Companys common stock.
Revenue Recognition
Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 101, Revenue Recognition, as amended by SAB 104, outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provide guidance for presentation of revenue and for disclosure related to revenue recognition policies in financial statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Management believes that the Companys revenue recognition policy conforms to SAB 104.
We evaluate the criteria of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) EITF Issue No. 99-19, Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal Versus Net as an Agent, in determining whether it is appropriate to record the gross amount of revenue and related costs or the net amount earned as commissions. The Company is the primary obligor, is subject to inventory risk, has latitude in establishing prices and selecting suppliers, establishes product specifications, and has the risk of loss as it relates to the ultimate collection of accounts receivable and cargo losses. Accordingly, the Companys revenue is recorded on a gross basis.

December 31, 2004 and 2003
NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued
The Company utilizes a trading company (see Note 2) to provide trade finance and factoring services in connection with the manufacture, distribution and sale of the Companys products (referred to hereinafter as the Goods) to customers. The trading company issues letters of credit in favor of the manufacturers at the request of the Company, and in accordance with the information provided in such requests. The trading company imports and delivers Goods, as instructed by the Company, to a public warehouse and pays the manufacturers for the cost of Goods and the related costs covered by the requests.
Goods are held by the Company at a public warehouse on a consignment basis. The Company arranges and maintains the Goods while in its possession at its expense. The trading company has title to the Goods when shipped from the manufacturer, during delivery, and in the public warehouse. The trading Company is paid for the Goods upon their sales and shipment to the Companys customers. Goods that remain unsold in the public warehouse on or after sixty days from receipt are billed by the trading company and title to the Goods is transferred to the Company. For all Goods purchased, the Company is charged cost plus 4% by the trading company. There were no unsold Goods billed by the trading company and purchased by the Company during the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003.
Revenue is recognized upon shipment of Goods from the public warehouse to the customers. The trading company approves credit to the customers and factors the sale. The trading company charges the Company 2.5% of the sales which are factored. For sales that are not factor approved, the Company purchases Goods from the trading company and sells the Goods directly to the customers.
The Company has title to all Goods returned by customers to the public warehouse. At December 31, 2004, returned inventory was not material to the overall financial statements.

Income Taxes
The Company determines its income taxes under the asset and liability method in accordance with the SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are calculated and recorded based upon the future tax consequences of temporary differences by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future periods for differences between the financial statements carrying amounts and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities. Generally, deferred income taxes are classified as current or non-current in accordance with the classification of the related asset or liability. Those not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are provided for significant deferred income tax assets when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Stock-Based Compensation
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) (SFAS 123(R)), Share-Based Payment, to provide investors and other users of financial statements with more complete and neutral financial information by requiring that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. That cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. SFAS 123(R) covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. SFAS 123(R) replaces SFAS No. 123, and supersedes Accounting Principles Board (APB) No. 25. SFAS No. 123, as originally issued in 1995, established as preferable a fair-value-based method of accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees. However, that Statement permitted entities the option of continuing to apply the guidance in APB No. 25, as long as the footnotes to financial statements disclosed what net income (loss) would have been had the preferable fair-value-based method been used. Small business issuers will be required to apply SFAS 123(R) as of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005. The Company will apply SFAS 123(R) to all stock-based employee compensation arrangements. There have been no options issued to employees as of December 31, 2004.
Stock-based awards to non-employees are accounted for using the fair value method in accordance with SFAS No. 123 and EITF Issue No. 96-18, Accounting For Equity Instruments That Are Issued To Other Than Employees For Acquiring, Or In Conjunction With Selling Goods Or Services . All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date used to determine the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the third-party performance is complete or the date on which it is probable that performance will occur.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions. This Statements amendments are based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. Further, SFAS No. 153 eliminates the narrow exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a broader exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. Provisions of this statement are effective for fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. SFAS No. 154 replaces APB No. 20, Accounting Changes and SFAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements and establishes retrospective application as the required method for reporting a change in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 provides guidance for determining whether retrospective application of a change in accounting principle is impracticable and for reporting a change when retrospective application is impracticable. The reporting of a correction of an error by restating previously issued financial statements is also addressed. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on the financial statements.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including the EITF) and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Companys present or future financial statements.
