House of Taylor Jewelry, Inc. Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements September 30, 2007  1. Organization and Description of Business House of Taylor Jewelry, Inc. (a Nevada corporation, formerly Nurescell Inc.  an inactive development stage company  the Company or HOTJ)  was organized in May 2005 and its stockholders consisted of Interplanet Productions, Ltd. (Interplanet), Sandbox Jewelry, LLC (Sandbox), and the former stockholders of Techline. HOTJ entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with Interplanet, the marketing entity through which Dame Elizabeth Taylor brings her jewelry line of branded products to the marketplace. The licensing agreement provides the Company with the exclusive use of the House of Taylor Jewelry name and, subject to Interplanets approval, a broad, exclusive license to manufacture, market and enter into sublicense agreements for the manufacture and marketing of all categories of jewelry, including diamonds, colored stones, pearls, semiprecious stones, watches, costume jewelry and bridal adornment. HOTJ also entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with Sandbox, a subsidiary of Kathy Ireland Worldwide. By adding this license, the Company combined branding and creative resources in fine jewelry design to serve jewelry retailers with an array of unique creations marketed under the House of Taylor® Jewelry and Kathy Ireland® brands. The Companys license with Sandbox is limited principally to North America and does not cover watches or costume jewelry. Ms. Ireland leads design direction for her own collections and serves as an Ambassador for House of Taylor Jewelry under the direction of Dame Elizabeth Taylor. Under the aforementioned licensing agreements, the Company has developed multiple product lines including bridal, diamond basics, fashion and pearls to market under its Elizabeth Taylor and Kathy Ireland brands. These products are being sold through retail channels ranging from specialty couture jewelry retailers, independent jewelry stores, large chain jewelry and department store retailers. Our current jewelry sales are primarily to specialty couture and independent jewelry retailers and our loose diamond sales are to both retailers and wholesalers.  Liquidity and Going Concern  The consolidated financial statements have been presented on the basis that the Company is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The Company incurred a net loss of approximately $5.4 million and $8.4 million for the first nine months ended September 30, 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2006, respectively, and has an accumulated deficit of approximately $16.7 million as of September 30, 2007. The Company used approximately $0.3 million and $9.2 million of cash in operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2006, respectively.  On October 12, 2007, the Company issued 6,119,737 units (Units) to certain institutional and other accredited investors at $0.95 per unit that resulted in gross proceeds to the Company of $5,813,750. Also, on October 12, 2007, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (Loan Agreement) with New Stream Secured Capital, LP (New Stream) providing for an aggregate credit facility of $30 million, comprised of: (i) a $25,000,000 revolving credit note (Revolving Note); and (ii) a $5,000,000 term note (Term Note).   The Company used the proceeds from the private placement and initial borrowings under the Term and Revolving Notes to repay all of the outstanding senior secured convertible notes for $9.8 million and for working capital and other general corporate purposes.  The Company will continue to evaluate its cash needs and existing and forecasted cash utilization rate. The Company's continued existence is dependent upon either its ability to market and sell its products successfully and become profitable or to raise capital to provide funding if required for ongoing future


5


operations.  No assurances can be given that the Company will become profitable or be successful in obtaining additional capital, or that such capital will be available on terms acceptable to the Company.  The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or amounts and classification of liabilities that may result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.  2.  Significant Accounting Policies  Interim Financial Statements  The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial statements pursuant to Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2007.  These statements should be read in conjunction with the historical statements for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed on April 16, 2007.  Estimates and Assumptions  The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States which requires management to make  estimates and assumptions that affect the accounting for and recognition of assets, liabilities, stockholders equity, revenue and expenses. Estimates and assumptions are made because certain information is dependent on future events. The most significant estimates used in preparing the financial statements are those relating to the collectibility of receivables, the allowance for sales returns and the market value used in the valuation of inventory. Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Comprehensive Income (Loss)  For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2007, comprehensive income consists only of net loss and, therefore, a Statement of Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) has not been included in these financial statements.  Per Share Information  Basic earnings (loss) per share are determined by dividing the net earnings or loss by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings or loss per share are determined by dividing the net earnings or loss by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding plus the dilutive effects of stock options, warrants and shares underlying conversion of Notes. Stock options, warrants and shares underlying conversion of Notes outstanding of 7,354,814 and 4,141,378 at September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, have been excluded from the calculation of loss per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 because the effect would be anti-dilutive.  Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturity dates of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Approximately $710,000 was held in a time deposit


6


account that matured weekly on December 31, 2006. There were no monies held in a time deposit account as of September 30, 2007.  The Company maintains its cash in bank deposits, which at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.  Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Sales Returns  The Company grants credit in the normal course of business to its customers and periodically performs credit analysis and monitors the financial condition of its customers to reduce credit risk.  Since 2006, the Company has offered extended terms to certain of its customers in order to achieve greater penetration and visibility in key markets. The Companys management reviews receivables on an ongoing basis. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by identifying troubled accounts and by using historical experience applied to an aging of accounts. Trade receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of previously written off receivables are recorded when received. No interest is charged on past due accounts. An allowance for sales returns is provided based on an ongoing review of returns, historical experience and managements expectation of returns based on their evaluation of current business conditions. The Company generally accepts returns when the customer concurrently purchases additional products or where the Company considers the likelihood of collection to be remote.  Allowances are adjusted on a quarterly basis based on the above review and analysis. The allowances for doubtful accounts and sales returns are as follows:   September 30, 2007December 31, 2006Allowance for doubtful accounts$228,592$110,693Allowance for sales returns2,198,736757,844$2,427,328$868,537  In the third and fourth quarter of 2006, HOTJ launched an initiative to increase sales of branded loose diamonds to the wholesale trade at a minimal markup in order to expand the channels for the distribution and sale of our products, to increase market penetration and brand awareness and to establish relationships with key diamond suppliers.  Total loose diamond sales for the year ended December 31, 2006, to both wholesalers and retailers, totaled approximately $22.4 million.  As an incentive to those customers who purchased in the third and fourth quarter, we offered extended payment terms on the mark-up that we charged on loose diamond sales and will allow a credit for the amount of the markup at the time it is due if the value has not yet been recognized by the marketplace.  We have established a reserve for these amounts of approximately $191,000, which is included in the allowance for sales returns for both September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006. The sales of these diamonds are final and returns are not accepted.  Concentration Risk  The top two customers accounted for 26.4% and 12.7% of our revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. During 2006, the top three customers accounted for 33.0%, 11.0% and 11.0% of our revenue.  The top two customers for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 were different customers than the top three customers of 2006.  The top two customers for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and the top three customers for 2006 purchased loose diamonds from the Company.  While the loss of one of our top customers would have a substantial effect on our sales, the margins on loose diamonds are under 5% and therefore the loss would not have a substantial impact


7


on our gross profit.  No other customer represents greater than 10% of our sales in either of these two periods.  The top three vendors account for 70.0%, 6.1% and 5.2% of the total accounts payables as of September 30, 2007.  The top three vendors are all diamond suppliers.  No other vendor accounted for over 5% of our accounts payables  Accounting for Share-Based Compensation  The Companys 2007 Stock Compensation Plan (Plan) provides for grants of options up to 9,000,000 shares of common stock. Pursuant to the Plan, the Company may grant options to any directors, officers, employees and independent contractors of the Company. Stock options are granted at, or above, the fair market value of our stock. As of September 30, 2007, there were 8,325,000 options available for grant.  The following table summarizes activity for options during the nine months ended September 30, 2007:  Number of SharesWeighted Avg. Exercise PriceBalance,  January 1, 2007325,000$5.37Granted during the period350,000$.95Exercised during the period--Balance, September 30, 2007675,000$3.08Exercisable at September 30, 2007466,667$3.25  Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, (SFAS 123R) which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors, including employee stock options, based on estimated fair values. SFAS 123R supersedes the Companys previous accounting under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25) for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2006.  The Company adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective transition method, which requires the application of the accounting standard as of January 1, 2006, the first day of the Companys fiscal year 2006.  The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for the determination of fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant. Using an option-pricing model is affected by the Companys stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, the Companys expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock options exercise behaviors.  There were 350,000 options granted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, of which 150,000 were granted to the Companys counsel and vested immediately. The fair value of the Companys options granted during this period was estimated at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following the weighted average assumptions:  Expected life (in years)8.71Expected volatility90%Risk-free interest rate4.38%Expected dividend


8


No options were granted during the comparable periods in 2006.  In accordance with SFAS 123R, stock-based compensation expense recognized in the statements of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2007 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest.  SFAS 123R requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company has granted options to a total of six individuals and has not experienced any forfeitures of its prior option grants.  As such, the Company does not estimate any forfeitures on the options granted to date and therefore the compensation expense has not been reduced for estimated forfeitures. The weighted average remaining contractual life for the options outstanding at September 30, 2007 is 8.1 years. The weighted average fair value of options exercisable at September 30, 2007 is $1.73.  As of September 30, 2007, all stock options, vested and non-vested, had no intrinsic value, as their exercise price exceeded the current market price of the Companys common stock.  Share-based compensation expense is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006. Share-based compensation expense recognized under SFAS 123R for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, was approximately $219,000 and $97,000, respectively. Share-based compensation expense recognized under SFAS 123R for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, was approximately $307,000 and $291,000, respectively. As of September 30, 2007, approximately $177,000 of unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested stock options are expected to be recognized over the following 23 months.  Income Taxes  On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48 (Fin 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes  an interpretation of FASB Statement 109, which was issued in July 2006 and clarifies the accounting for uncertain tax positions. Fin 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosure. Uncertain tax positions are recognized in the financial statements for positions which are considered more likely than not of being sustained based on the technical merits of the position on audit by the tax authorities. The measurement of the tax benefit recognized in the financial statements is based upon the largest amount of tax benefit that, in managements judgment, is greater than 50% likely of being realized based on a cumulative probability assessment of the possible outcomes.  The implementation of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the amount, reporting and disclosures of our fully reserved deferred tax assets resulting primarily from tax loss carryforwards. Due to our net operating loss carryforward position, the impact of uncertain tax positions, if any, would not be material.  The Company is subject to audit by the IRS and California Franchise Tax Board since its organization in May 2005.  Recent Accounting Pronouncements In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company does not expect SFAS No. 159 to have any impact on the Companys financial condition or results of operations. In November 2006, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 06-07, Issuers Accounting for a Previously Bifurcated Conversion Option in a Convertible Debt Instrument When the Conversion Option No Longer Meets the Bifurcation Criteria in FASB Statement No. 133 ( EITF 06-07). EITF 06-07 affects convertible debt issuers with previously bifurcated conversion options that no longer require


9


separate derivative accounting under SFAS 133. EITF 06-07 states that when a previously bifurcated conversion option no longer requires separate accounting, the issuer shall disclose (1) a description of the change causing the conversion option to no longer require bifurcation and (2) the amount of the derivative liability reclassified to shareholders equity. EITF 06-07 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2006.  The Company does not expect EITF 06-07 to have any impact on the Companys financial condition or results of operations. In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2008 and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Companys financial statements.  3.  Senior Secured Convertible Notes  In May 2006, the Company entered into a series of agreements pursuant to a private placement transaction providing for, among other things, the issuance of senior convertible notes (Notes) and warrants to purchase shares of the Companys $.0001 par value per share common stock.  On May 12, 2006 the Company issued Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $11,660,000 and Series A Warrants to purchase up to 2,186,250 shares of the Companys Common Stock.  The net proceeds of the issuance totaled approximately $10.3 million after direct placement costs of approximately $1.3 million. The Notes were convertible into 2,915,000 shares of HOTJs common stock at any time at the option of the holders at an initial conversion price of $4.00 per share, subject to adjustment. The Notes could have been converted at the Companys option if certain criteria are satisfied.  The Company also entered into a Security Agreement that granted the holders of the Notes a first priority security interest in all of the Companys assets. The interest on the Notes was 9.75% payable quarterly, in arrears, and the Notes had an initial conversion price of $4.00. The conversion price was subject to adjustment if: (i) the Company failed to meet a Sales Threshold as shown on the following table; and (ii) the Average Market Price on the applicable date was less than $5.00.  The Sales Thresholds and dates were:  Sales ThresholdDate$14,000,000 for the three fiscal quarters endingSeptember 30, 2006$30,000,000 for the year endingDecember 31, 2006$45,000,000 for the year endingDecember 31, 2007  The Company exceeded the Sales Threshold for the three fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2006.  Sales for the year ended December 31, 2006 totaled $31.8 million (including $22.4 million of loose diamond sales) and, accordingly, the Sales Threshold for that period was met. With the repayment of the Notes on October 12, 2007, the Company is no longer subject to an adjustment on the Warrants for failure to meet the Sales Threshold for 2007.  The Series A Warrants had an initial exercise price of $5.00 per share, a term of 60 months and became exercisable on November 12, 2006. The exercise price of the Series A Warrants and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise thereof, are subject to adjustment in certain circumstances, including the issuance of Common Stock or options, warrants or other rights to acquire Common Stock at a price per share less than the exercise price then in effect.  The Company also issued Series B Warrants to purchase up to 947,375 shares of the Company's Common Stock and Series C Warrants to purchase up to 1,894,750 shares of the Company's Common


10


Stock.  The Series B Warrants and Series C Warrants are not initially exercisable and only become exercisable upon the occurrence of certain conditions, including the Company causing a conversion of the Notes.  The occurrence of the certain conditions did not occur prior to the repayment of the Notes on October 12, 2007 and the Series B Warrants and Series C Warrants did not become exercisable. Certain affiliates of the Company consisting of (i) members of the Abramov family as a group, (ii) Interplanet Productions, Ltd and (iii) Sandbox Jewelry LLC, owned by Kathy Ireland Worldwide, (collectively referred to as the Stockholders) each agreed to invest $125,000, for an aggregate amount of $375,000, on the same terms as other investors, except that, notwithstanding any provisions in the transactions documents, each of the Stockholders agreed not to convert or exercise any securities at a price which is lower than the closing bid price of the Companys Common Stock on the date of the closing until after the shareholders of the Company have voted in favor of the issuance of all of the securities as described in the transaction documents in accordance with applicable law and the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Capital Market.  The principal amount of the notes was to be repaid in nine quarterly installments, based on the principal outstanding at the time of the payment, beginning on April 1, 2007.  Such principal payments were paid either in cash or, at the option of the Company, if certain conditions are satisfied, in shares of the Companys common stock. Any shares of common stock used to pay an installment of principal was valued at the lower of the current Conversion Price or the Company Conversion Price which is equal to 85% of the Average Market Price as defined in the Notes.  Under certain conditions, if the Average Market Price equaled or exceeded $5.50 per share then the principal payment that is due would be deferred until the maturity date of the notes. Interest was due quarterly, starting on July 1, 2006. The interest rate was 9.75% per annum. All or a portion of the accrued and unpaid interest was paid either in cash or, at the option of the Company, if certain conditions are satisfied, in shares of the Companys common stock. Any shares of common stock used to make an interest payment will be valued at the lower of the conversion price or 85% of the Average Market Price on the applicable interest payment date.  At September 30, 2007, interest payable of $214,933 is included in accrued expenses. After reviewing the applicable accounting literature, the Company concluded the notes did not meet the definition of conventional debt per EITF 05-02 and EITF 00-19, due to a provision which provides for the possible reset of the conversion price which results in the debt not being convertible into a fixed number of shares.  Under SFAS 133, if the debt is determined to be unconventional, then the Company is required to look to EITF 00-19 to determine how the embedded conversion feature would be classified (as liability or equity) if it were freestanding and therefore determine if it qualified for the scope limitation in paragraph 11 a. of SFAS 133 or if it required derivative accounting. Upon review of EITF 00-19, paragraphs 12  32, the Company concluded that all applicable requirements for equity treatment were met, including the Company having sufficient authorized shares to issue the maximum number required under the note provisions and the potential liquidated damages under the registration rights agreement being limited to 10%, which is less than a reasonable estimate of the discount between the FMV of registered and unregistered shares. The intrinsic value of the conversion option in the notes totaling $2.8 million was calculated in accordance with EITF 00-27 Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments and recorded as additional paid in capital and a corresponding reduction of the carrying value of the note.   The Company is accounting for the Series A warrants, issued in connection with the note, as derivative liabilities in accordance with SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, EITF 00-19, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to and Potentially Settled in a Companys Own Stock and EITF No. 05-2, The Meaning of Conventional Convertible Debt Instrument in Issue No. 00-19 since there is a possibility that they could be net cash settled in the event of a Fundamental Transaction which could be out of the control of the company. The warrant liability was valued at $3,804,075 on the warrant issuance date.  In accordance with EITF 00-19, the


11


value of the warrant has been recorded as a liability subject to marked-to-market revaluation at each period end.  At September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the warrant liability was valued at $502,837 and $3,804,075, respectively.  The Company recorded a gain on the change in the fair value of the warrant liability of $3,301,238 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The Company uses the Black-Scholes model to value the liability.  The assumptions used at May 12, 2006, December 31, 2006 and September 30, 2007 included expected volatility of 58.9%, 95.9% and 88.8% and a risk free interest rate of 5.00%, 4.53% and 4.59%, respectively. The discount attributable to the issuance date intrinsic value of the conversion option and the fair value of the warrants, totaling approximately $6.6 million, is being amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the note.  During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2007, $643,896, and $2,462,126, respectively, of this discount was amortized to expense.  For financial statement presentation purposes, the discount is allocated between current and non-current on a pro rata basis. The components of convertible notes, net as of September 30, 2007 are as follows:  CurrentNon-CurrentPrincipal amount of notes$ 4,572,222$ 3,395,000Less discount(1,114,800)(827,770)Net carrying value$ 3,457,422$ 2,567,230 In connection with the financing arrangement, the Company incurred financing costs of $1.3 million. The total financing costs were capitalized and are being amortized over the life of the note using the effective interest method. During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2007, approximately $126,000 and $482,000 respectively, of the capitalized financing costs were amortized to expense. The registration rights agreement required the Company to file a registration statement for the resale of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 150% of the sum of the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes and upon the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants by June 26, 2006 and required that the registration statement be declared effective by July 11, 2006 if there was no review of the registration statement by the SEC.  The registration rights agreement states that the registration statement must remain effective and available for use until earlier of the date the noteholders can sell all of the securities covered by the registration statement without restriction pursuant to Rule 144(k) and the date all of such securities have been sold pursuant to the registration statement. The Company filed its registration statement on June 26, 2006 and it was declared effective by the SEC on July 10, 2006. If thereafter the registration statement ceases to be effective, the Company may be required to pay damages of 1.5% percent of the aggregate purchase price of the Notes and Warrants monthly until such failure is cured.  These damages will have a cash payment cap of 10% of the aggregate purchase price.  On February 21, 2007, two holders of the Companys convertible notes converted their entire note holdings for a total of $1,500,000 in the aggregate.  The Company issued 375,000 common shares upon the conversion and paid approximately $180,000 of Make-Whole Amounts as defined in the notes.  On April 2, 2007, the Company paid the first principal payment of $1,087,222 and interest of $238,509 on its convertible notes by issuing a total of 542,416 shares of common stock.  The Company Conversion Price (as defined in the notes) was $2.44.  In accordance with the terms of the notes, five of our affiliated noteholders elected to defer the payment of $41,666 of principal and $9,141 of interest due to them on April 2, 2007 until March 31, 2009.

On April 2, 2007, two holders of the Companys convertible notes converted the remaining balances of their notes totaling of $88,889 in the aggregate.  The Company issued 22,224 common shares upon the conversion and expensed the related unamortized discounts.  The noteholders waived their rights to the Make-Whole Amount as defined in the notes.  The Company has determined that the conversion resulted in a substantial modification due to the waiver of the Make-Whole provision and, in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force EITF Issue 96-19 Debtors Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt,the conversion was accounted for as an extinguishment of debt.  There were no fees paid in connection with the conversion.  On July 2, 2007, the Company paid the second principal payment totaling $1,016,667 and accrued interest of $198,250 on its convertible notes.  In accordance with the terms of the Notes, eight of our affiliated noteholders elected to defer the payment of $101,111 of principal and $20,432 of interest due to them on April 2, 2007 for 30 to 90 days.  On October 12, 2007, the Company entered into a series of Exchange and Payoff Agreements with the holders of the Notes. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company agreed to pay the holders 120% of the face value of the Notes plus accrued interest.  Payment of the Notes was made at the election of the holder via: (i) cash; (ii) Units; or (iii) a combination of cash and Units.   On October 12, 2007 the Company disbursed or caused to be disbursed to the holders of the Notes an aggregate amount including accrued interest of $9.8 million in full payment and discharge of the Notes. Of this aggregate sum, the Company paid holders of Notes who are affiliates the  following amounts for and in respect of their Notes: (i) Interplanet Productions Ltd. - $157,759 (ii) Sandbox Jewelry LLC - $157,759,  (iii) Jack Abramov - $50,483, (iv) Monty Abramov - $50,483 and (v) The Raphael Abramov and Rachel Abramov Family Trust - $56,793.   4. Commitments  In March 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with Fine Diamonds LLC/Festdiam Cutting Works (Fine), a Sightholder of the Diamond Trading Company (DTC), the sales and marketing arm of the De Beers Group of Companies. The agreement calls for Fine to offer the Company preferred pricing and terms on its purchases of diamonds, both certified and uncertified, in the grades, ranges and sizes that the Company has historically purchased. The Company may issue 100,000 shares of common stock to a principal of Fine in 2007 as consideration for services rendered in connection with establishing and promoting the relationship to date, and as a further incentive to aid the Company in broadening its wholesale and retail distribution of branded and unbrandeddiamonds. Beginning with 2008, and for each subsequent calendar year that the Company and Fine elect to continue this relationship, HOTJ expects to  issue 50,000 shares of common stock at June 30 and again at December 31,  provided that the Company purchases at least $10,000,000 from Fine during each six month period ending on such dates. If the purchases during the first six months are less than $10,000,000 but the total purchases for the calendar year equal at least $20,000,000, then HOTJ will nevertheless issue the further share amount to equal an aggregate of 100,000 shares of HOTJ stock for that calendar year.  While the parties intend for the agreement to have an initial term of five years the arrangement may be modified or canceled by either party upon thirty days notice.  In March 2007, the Company engaged Financo, Inc. as its strategic and transactional advisor.  The Company expects Financo will assist it with developing strategic plans that may include adding channels of distribution for the Companys current and new product lines, expanding its brands overseas and evaluating new licensing and sub-licensing opportunities.  5.  Related party transactions  In connection with the merger in May 2005, the shareholders of Techline Jewelry, Inc. received distributions which included a note for $1,365,090 (and collateralized by a security interest in the


13


assets of the subsidiary, subject to the first security interest held by a bank) payable over three years with interest at 8% a year. Further, the shareholders agreed to repurchase any of the accounts receivable at May 20, 2005 that remained outstanding over a specified period. As of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the amounts outstanding on the note are $608,012 and $705,782, respectively.

Subsequent Events  Private Placement  On October 12, 2007, the Company issued 6,119,737 Units to certain institutional and other accredited investors (Investors).    The Units were issued at $0.95 per unit and resulted in gross proceeds to the Company of $5,813,750.  Each Unit consisted of one share of the Companys common stock (a Share or in the plural, Shares) and a common stock purchase warrant (a Warrant or in the plural, Warrants) that allows the holder to purchase an additional 1.5 common shares.   Accordingly, the Company issued Warrants to purchase an additional 9,179,605 shares of Common Stock that expire seven (7) years from the date of issuance and have an exercise price of $.95 per share.  The exercise


14


price of the Warrants and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise thereof, are subject to adjustment in certain circumstances, including the issuance of Common Stock or options, warrants or other rights to acquire Common Stock at a price per share less than the exercise price then in effect.  In connection with the issuance of the Units, the Company entered into registration rights agreements with the purchasers of the Units that requires the Company to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the Shares and the shares of common stock underlying the Warrants no later than November 12, 2007.  If such registration statement is not filed by such date, the Company will be subject to certain monetary penalties.  In connection with the transactions, the Company has agreed to amend the terms of certain warrants acquired by Investors in the Companys August 2005 placement to (i) reduce the exercise price to $0.95 per share and (ii) extend the terms of those warrants to be concurrent with the expiration of the Warrants. Of the 6,119,737 Units issued, the following affiliates purchased the  following Units:  (i) Interplanet Productions Ltd.  1,052,632 Units, (ii) Jack Abramov  68,421 Units, (iii) Monty Abramov  68,421 Units, (iv) Raphael Abramov  73,684 Units, and (v) Aaron Grunfeld  165,000 Units.  The Company is currently reviewing the recording of the Warrants as either a liability or equity. The Company used the issuance from the offering to:  (i) retire and in exchange for the current outstanding Notes; (ii) support an accounts receivable and credit facility and (ii) provide general working capital.  The Company utilized the services of Roth Capital Partners, LLC (Roth) and Financo Securities LLC (Financo) as placement agents and advisors in connection with this transaction.  The Company is currently in negotiations with the Roth and Financo as to the fees and warrants to be paid in connection with this transaction.  The fees and the fair value of the warrants issued to Roth and Financo will be recorded as a reduction to the net proceeds from the private placement  Loan and Security Agreement. On October 12, 2007, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement with New Stream providing for an aggregate credit facility of $30 million, comprised of: (i) a $25,000,000 Revolving Note; and (ii) a $5,000,000 Term Note.   The term of the Loan Agreement is three years with a one year renewal period. The Loan Agreement contains certain financial covenants and is collateralized by a security interest in all of the Companys assets.  The Revolving Note provides for borrowing up to $25,000,000 based upon levels of the Companys inventory and accounts receivables.  Interest on the Revolving Notes is a floating rate equal to the greater of (a) the Prime Rate plus two and one-half percent (2.50%) per annum or (b) ten percent (10%) per annum. The Term Note is in the face amount of $5,000,000, has no principal amortization, and the principal is due and payable on maturity at the end of the three year term.   Interest on the Term Note is fixed at eighteen percent (18.0%) for the life of the Term. The Company used the proceeds from the initial borrowings under the Term and Revolving Notes to repay the outstanding Notes and for working capital and other general corporate purposes. As an additional inducement for entering into the Loan Agreement, the Company issued to New Stream a warrant (the New Stream Warrant) to purchase 1,750,000 shares of common stock. The initial exercise price of the New Stream Warrant is $1.10 per share.  The New Stream Warrant provides for adjustment to the number of shares and exercise price upon the occurrence of certain events. The term of New Stream Warrant is seven (7) years from the date of issuance and provides for demand and piggy back registration rights.  The New Stream Warrant has a fair value of $1,137,500 calculated using the Black Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:   Expected life (in years)7Expected volatility88.3%Risk-free interest rate5.1%Expected dividend

Financo Securities LLC (Financo) acted as the Companys advisor in connection with securing the credit facility described herein.  The Company paid Financo a cash fee of 1.0 % of the aggregate $30 million credit facility.  The fair value of the New Stream Warrant and the fees paid to Financo will be recorded as an asset as debt issuance costs to be amortized over the life of the loan. The Company is currently reviewing the recording of the New Stream Warrant as either a liability or equity.  Exchange and Payoff Agreements  On October 12, 2007, the Company entered into a series of Exchange and Payoff Agreements with the holders of the Notes (see Note 3).   Pursuant to these agreements, the Company agreed to pay the holders 120% of the face value of the Notes plus accrued interest.  Payment of the Notes was made at the election of the holder via: (i) cash; (ii) Units;,or (iii) a combination of cash and Units.   On October 12, 2007 the Company disbursed or caused to be disbursed to the holders of the Notes an aggregate amount including accrued interest of $9.8 million in full payment and discharge of the Notes. Of this aggregate sum, the Company paid holders of Notes who are affiliates the  following amounts for and in respect of their Notes: (i) Interplanet Productions Ltd. - $157,759 (ii) Sandbox Jewelry LLC - $157,759,  (iii) Jack Abramov - $50,483, (iv) Monty Abramov - $50,483 and (v) The Raphael Abramov and Rachel Abramov Family Trust - $56,793.  The unamortized deferred debt issuance cost associated with the Note and the unamortized warrant and beneficial conversion feature that had a value of $380,000 and $1,943,000, respectively, on September 30, 2007 will be expensed with the payoff of the Notes.  In accordance with EITF Issue 96-19, Debtors Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt, the 20% premium in excess of the outstanding principal and accrued interest on October 12, 2007 or $1.6 million that was disbursed in connection with Payoff Agreement will be accounted for as an extinguishment of debt and expensed with the payoff of the Notes. With the issuance on October 12, 2007 of 6,119,737 Units at $0.95 per Unit in the private placement, the exercise price of the Series A Warrants was adjusted to $.95 and the number of shares to be purchased upon the exercise of the Series A Warrants were adjusted by an additional 9.3 million shares. The Company is currently reviewing the accounting for the adjustment in the Series A Warrants.  Nasdaq Notification  On October 29, 2007, the Company received a notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market (the Nasdaq Notice) indicating that the Company is not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing set forth under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4320(e)(2)(E)(ii) (the Minimum Bid Price Rule).  Under the rules set forth by the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department, issuing this notice is customary practice when a Nasdaq quoted company's closing price has been less than $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive trading days. According to the Nasdaq Notice, the Company has 180 calendar days, or until April 28, 2008, to regain compliance.  If, at any time before April 28, 2008, the bid price of the Companys stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, Nasdaq staff will provide written notification that the Company complies with the Minimum Bid Price Rule.  If compliance with the Rule cannot be demonstrated by April 28, 2008, Nasdaq staff will determine whether the Company meets The Nasdaq Capital Market initial listing criteria set forth in Marketplace Rule 4310(c), except for the bid price requirement. If the Company meets the initial listing criteria Nasdaq staff will notify the Company that it has been granted an additional 180 calendar day compliance period. If the Company is not then eligible for an additional compliance period, Nasdaq staff will provide written notification that the Companys securities will be delisted. In that event and at that time, the Company may appeal that Nasdaq staff determination to a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation  This discussion, other than historical financial information, may consist of forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including when and if the Company has significant operations. Consequently, actual results may vary from managements expectations. Management considers its success in developing new products, and channels to market them, under the Elizabeth Taylor and Kathy Ireland brands to be critical challenges. We are implementing a business model that involves having our products manufactured according to our designs and specifications and marketing fine jewelry products under our Elizabeth®, ET®, House of Taylor Jewelry®, and Kathy Ireland Jewelry® Exclusively for House of Taylor Jewelry, while leveraging the manufacturing resources, distribution and marketing infrastructures of some of the leading fine and fashion jewelry manufacturers in the world. Our Kathy Ireland specialty brands include J du J, ACafe and The Quilts of Gees Bend. We currently sell our Kathy Ireland Collection jewelry lines primarily through independent jewelry stores, and plan to further expand distribution with non-competing products to department store retail channels.  The Kathy Ireland collections feature price points ranging from about $200 to $3,500. We target upper tier retail channels with our Elizabeth® and House of Taylor Jewelry® lines which feature price points ranging from about $3,000 to over $1 million. Each of these branded lines include products from various categories including diamond basics, loose diamonds, colored stones, bridal, and pearls. We have designed and completed more than 600 new products that comprise the Elizabeth®, House of Taylor Jewelry® and Kathy Ireland Jewelry® Collections. While meeting with jewelry retailers at the major trade shows, in their stores and at our offices, we asked them what product(s) they had the greatest need for and what sold best in their stores. The majority expressed the need for a consistent and competitive supply of loose and mounted diamonds and diamond jewelry, in particular, branded products in those categories.  In the third quarter of 2006, we launched an initiative to meet this expressed need and increase our sales of branded loose diamonds and a wider range of diamond jewelry to both the retail and wholesale trade.  We sought to establish HOTJ as an internationally recognized global source for diamonds with the added value of a brand.  In the fourth quarter we expanded this initiative and now examine, grade and certify our diamonds of one carat and above with reputable gem trade laboratories and brand markings to differentiate HOTJ diamonds from other branded and non branded product and to provide the end consumer with our company set standards and assurances of quality, value, craftsmanship and conflict free sourcing. We established relationships with a number of global diamond cutters, manufacturers and suppliers to insure we will have a consistent, well priced supply of polished diamonds and diamond jewelry to meet the anticipated demands from our customers and to establish HOTJ as a key branded supplier to the trade.  We sold loose diamonds to the wholesale trade at a minimal markup and with extended terms in order to expand the channels for the distribution and sale of our products, and to increase market penetration and brand awareness.  We see the increased distribution of our branded diamonds through various supply channels as a marketing and awareness initiative to ultimately drive consumers to our HOTJ authorized jewelry retailers.  Results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2006 Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2007 totaled $4,879,000, a decrease of $7,129,000 or 59.4% from net sales of $12,008,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006.  Of the decrease, $6,434,000 resulted from lower sales of loose diamonds.  In 2006, loose diamonds were sold to increase market penetration and brand awareness.  Sales of our Kathy Ireland and Elizabeth branded jewelry products decreased $750,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006, while the HOTJ branded jewelry product and other increased $55,000. The decline in sales is attributed to the delay in securing the Loan Agreement with New Stream that provided for an aggregate credit facility of $30 million that was closed on October 12, 2007 and the

resultant lack of available inventory (see Note 6  Subsequent Event).  Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2007 also include $560,000 of related party sales as compared to $68,000 in the comparable period in 2006. Our cost of goods sold consists of the cost of merchandise (principally finished products), freight and duty. The Company does not have significant warehouse costs.  Our inventory management, fulfillment and freight out and insurance costs are included in selling, shipping, general and administrative expense.  Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2007 totaled $395,000, an decrease of $564,000 from a gross profit of $959,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006.  Gross profit as a percentage of sales increased slightly to 8.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2007 from 8.0% for the comparable period in 2006. The decrease in gross profit resulted from decrease of sales of $6,434,000 of loose diamonds to wholesale trade and the decrease of Kathy Ireland and Elizabeth branded products of $750,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the comparable period in 2006. Selling, shipping and general and administrative expenses were $2,392,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007, compared to $1,887,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $505,000. As a percent of sales, selling, shipping and general and administrative expenses increased from 15.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 to 49.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2007 due primarily to the decrease in sales and an increase in expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2007.  Selling expenses decreased $64,000 due to lower sales commissions for the three months ended September 30, 2007 while advertising and marketing expenses increased by $182,000 due to increased catalog and co-op advertising expenses. Royalty expense to related parties decreased $67,000.  Non-cash compensation expense of $219,000 associated with options issued to our employees, directors and corporate counsel was expensed in the three months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $97,000 for the comparable period in 2006.  Professional fees increased by $202,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 over the comparable period in 2006 due to expenses incurred in securing a credit facility.  Payroll and related expense increased $186,000 for three months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the comparable period in 2006.  A decrease in other selling, shipping and general and administrative expenses accounted for the remaining change.  Interest expense was $987,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $1,357,000 for the same period last year. Of the interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2007, $770,000 is non-cash expenses due to the amortization of costs of the Notes, and the balance is interest on the Notes and related party notes.  The change in fair market value (FMV) of the warrant liability is a non-cash charge determined by the difference in FMV from period to period. The Company calculates the FMV of the warrants outstanding using the Black-Scholes model. The decrease in the fair value of the warrant liability for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was $568,000 and is a result of the decrease in the trading value of our stock in the Third Quarter of 2007.  The Company recorded no provision for income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 due to the net loss incurred for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006. On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48 (Fin 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes  an interpretation of FASB Statement 109, which was issued in July 2006 and clarifies the accounting for uncertain tax positions. Fin 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosure. Uncertain tax positions are recognized in the financial statements for positions which are considered more likely than not of being sustained based on the technical merits of the position on audit by the tax authorities. The measurement of the tax benefit recognized in the financial statements is based upon the largest amount of tax benefit that, in managements judgment, is greater than 50% likely of being realized based on a cumulative probability assessment of the possible outcomes.  The implementation

Liquidity and Capital Resources Operations and liquidity needs are funded through cash flows from operations, debt and equity offerings, as well as utilizing, when needed, borrowings under the Companys various credit lines.  During the first nine months of 2007, our net cash used by operating activities was $327,000 as compared to $8,751,000 during the comparable period of 2006.

Also, on October 12, 2007, the Company entered into the Loan Agreement with New Stream providing for an aggregate credit facility of $30 million, comprised of: (i) a $25,000,000 Revolving Note; and (ii) a $5,000,000 Term Note.   The Company used the proceeds from the issuance from the private placement and initial borrowings under the Term and Revolving Notes to repay and in exchange for the outstanding Notes for $9.8 million and for working capital and other general corporate purposes (see Note 6  Subsequent Events). Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates  For a discussion of our critical accounting policies, we refer you to the corresponding section in Part II, Item 6 of our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed on April 16, 2007, on Form 10-KSB filed on August 10, 2007 and to the Note disclosures included in Part I, Item 1 of this report.  The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States which requires management to make estimates and assumptions affecting 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.  Recent accounting pronouncements In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company does not expect SFAS No. 159 to have any impact on the Companys financial condition or results of operations. In November 2006, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 06-07, Issuers Accounting for a Previously Bifurcated Conversion Option in a Convertible Debt Instrument When the Conversion Option No Longer Meets the Bifurcation Criteria in FASB Statement No. 133 ( EITF 06-07). EITF 06-07 affects convertible debt issuers with previously bifurcated conversion options that no longer require separate derivative accounting under SFAS 133. EITF 06-07 states that when a previously bifurcated conversion option no longer requires separate accounting, the issuer shall disclose (1) a description of the change causing the conversion option to no longer require bifurcation and (2) the amount of the derivative liability reclassified to shareholders equity. EITF 06-07 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2006.  The Company does not expect EITF 06-07 to have any impact on the Companys financial condition or results of operations. In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting


21


principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2008 and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Companys financial statements.  Item 3. Controls and Procedures  As of September 30, 2007, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures as defined in the Securities Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e). Based on that evaluation, the Companys management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2007. No changes in internal controls over financial reporting identified in connection with its evaluation occurred during the quarterly period covered by this report that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.  Although the evaluation did not detect any material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in the Companys system of internal accounting controls over financial reporting, management identified inherent limitations in its electronic data processing software and plans to replace its electronic data processing software during the fourth quarter of 2007.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION . This Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and public announcements contain forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results or performance to differ materially from any results of performance expressed or implied by those statements. Examples of forward-looking statements include predictive statements, statements that depend on or refer to future events or conditions, which include words such as expects, anticipates, intends, plans, believes, estimates, should, would, may or similar expressions, or statements that involve hypothetical events.  Item 1. Legal Proceedings  None  Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds  On October 12, 2007, the Company issued 6,119,737 Units to certain institutional and other accredited investors.    The Units were issued at $0.95 per Unit and resulted in gross proceeds to the Company of $5,813,750.  Each unit consisted of one Share of the Companys common stock and a common stock purchase Warrant that allows the holder to purchase an additional 1.5 common shares.   Accordingly, the Company issued Warrants to purchase an additional 9,179,605 shares of Common Stock that expire seven (7) years from the date of issuance and have an exercise price of $.95 per share.  The exercise price of the Warrants and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise thereof, are subject to adjustment in certain circumstances, including the issuance of Common Stock or options, warrants or other rights to acquire Common Stock at a price per share less than the exercise price then in effect.  In connection with the issuance of the Units, the Company entered into registration rights agreements with the purchasers of the Units that require the Company to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the Shares and the shares of common stock underlying the Warrants no later than November 12, 2007.  If such registration statement is not filed by such date, the Company will be subject to certain monetary penalties.  In connection with the transactions, the Company has agreed to amend the terms of certain warrants acquired by investors in the Companys August 2005 placement to (i) reduce the exercise price to $0.95 per share and (ii) extend the terms of those warrants to be concurrent with the expiration of the Warrants.  The Company used the proceeds from the issuance to retire and in exchange for the current outstanding Notes and for working capital and other general corporate purposes.  The issuances of the securities underlying the Units are exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, pursuant of Section 4(2) of that Act as transactions not involving a public offering. The Company did not engage in any general solicitation or general advertising in connection with the offer and sale of any of these securities. Each of the Investors is an institutional investor or other accredited investor and represented that it was acquiring the Units for investment purposes only.  As an additional inducement for entering into the Loan Agreement, the Company issued to New Stream a New Stream Warrant to purchase 1,750,000 shares of common stock. The initial exercise price of the New Stream Warrant is $1.10 per share.  The New Stream Warrant provides for adjustment to the number of shares and exercise price upon the occurrence of certain events.  The term of the New Stream Warrant is seven years from the date of issuance and provides for demand and piggy back registration rights.
