Sale  of  Initio  Acquisition Corp. Assets.  On May 21, 1999,  the  Company
completed  the  sale of certain operating assets pertaining to  the  direct

presently.  Neither  Mr. Fox nor Mr. DeStefano have any  other  outstanding

Item 12. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

On  February  25,  1998, the Company entered into the Debenture  Commitment
Agreement  with  Pioneer Ventures Associates Limited Partnership  ("PVALP")
pursuant to which PVALP has agreed to make certain loans to the Company  to
be  repaid  by  the  Company in accordance with the  terms  of  convertible
subordinated   debentures  (the  "Debentures").   PVALP  initially   loaned
$3,000,000  to  the  Company and the Company issued the First  Subordinated
Debenture  due May 1, 2003 (the "First Debenture").  In May 1999  this  was
reduced to 1,000,000 and is presently convertible at $2.50 per share.

The  terms of the First Debenture include the condition that the  principal
stockholders of the Company (the "Principal Stockholders"), which   include
Mr. DeStefano and Mr. Fox, enter into the Voting Agreement.

The  Voting  Agreement  provides  that so  long  as  there  is  any  unpaid
principal amount or interest outstanding under the Debentures or so long as
the  conversion  shares are held by PVALP, the Principal Stockholders  will
vote  all of their Common Stock for the election of PVALP's designee  as  a
director  of the Company.  Mr. Robert Lerman, a director of the Company  is
PVALP's  nominee, and the President of Pioneer Ventures Corp., the managing
member  of  the general partner of PVALP.  In addition, in the event  of  a
default   under   the   Debenture  Commitment  Agreement,   the   Principal
Shareholders  agree  to  elect that number of  nominees  to  the  Board  of
directors  designated  by PVALP such that the Board  of  Directors  becomes
comprised  of  a majority of nominees of PVALP.  The Principal Shareholders
also  agree to vote in favor of the PVALP nominees so long as any  interest
or principal remains unpaid.

The  Voting Agreement also provides that the Principal Shareholders may not
transfer  any  Common Stock to any affiliate without PVALP's prior  written
consent.  "Affiliate" is defined in the Voting Agreement as (a) any spouse,
parent,  parent-in-law,  grandparent,  grandchild,  sibling,  uncle,  aunt,
niece, nephew or first cousin of the transferor or (b) any person which the
transferor directly or indirectly controls or (c) any transfer to a  person
if  the  transferor remains a beneficial owner, as that  term  is  used  in
Section 13 (d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,  of  the
transferred shares.

On  December  23, 1998, the Company pursuant to the terms of the  debenture
Commitment  Agreement, the Company issued to Pioneer the Second Convertible
Subordinated  Debenture due December 23, 2003, in the principal  amount  of
$500,000,  convertible at $1.54 per share, with interest at 8%  per  annum.
These  funds  were  used  by  the Company for  certain  specified  purposes
including Internet activities.

Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and the Results
of Operations

The following discussion and analysis provides information which management
believes  is  relevant to an assessment and understanding of the  Companys
results  of  operations and financial condition. The discussion  should  be
read  in  conjunction  with the Companys Financial  Statements  and  Notes
thereto.

Managements discussion and analysis contains forward looking  statements
about the Companys future prospects. These statements are subject to risks
and  uncertainties, which could cause actual results to  differ  materially
from  those expected by Management. Readers are therefore cautioned not  to
rely  upon  on  any  such forward-looking beliefs or  judgments  in  making
investment decisions.

Results of Operation
In fiscal year 2001 revenues decreased to $652,163 from $1,061,115.  This
decrease was the result of the decrease in rental income from $336,000 in
fiscal 2000 to $38,000 in fiscal 2001.  The purchaser of the companys
previously owned catalog companies had been renting the premises in Carson
City, NV, (which are presently being held for sale), until June of 2000, at
which time the present premises became vacant and consequently the rental
income has ceased.  Since it is the companys intention to sell the
property, it has not attempted to rent the property as it is managements
opinion that such a rental would possibly interfere with a sale of the
property.  Also, in lieu of a gain of $280,309 on marketable securities in
fiscal 2000 the company had a realized loss of $93,439 in fiscal 2001.

Administrative expenses decreased to $544,025 in fiscal 2001 from $676,812
in the prior year as a result of the significant reduction in executive
compensation from $300,000 in fiscal 2000 to $72,000 in fiscal 2001;
substantially offset by significantly increased legal and professional fees
in fiscal 2001, which arose in connection with the attempted acquisition of
Inculab, Inc.  The current fiscal year reflects a loss on the sale of
discontinued operations, net of income tax benefit, of ($1,580,200) vs. a
gain, also net of income taxes, of $1,841,300 in the prior year.

As a result of all of the foregoing, for the year ended April 30, 2001 the
company showed a net loss of ($2,105,626) vs. a gain of $2,814,360 in the
prior year.


Liquidity and Financial Resources
As  of  April  30,  2001,  the cash balances were $358,616  and  marketable
securities valued at current market prices were approximately $2,326,145.



INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Initio, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets
of Initio, Inc. (a Nevada corporation) as of April 30, 2001,
and the related  consolidated  statements of operations and
comprehensive loss, stockholders' equity and cash flows for
the years then ended.  These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit.  The consolidated statements
of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders' equity
and cash flows for the year end April 30, 2000, were audited
by other auditors whose report dated July 20, 2000 expressed
an unqualified opinion on those statements.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing
standards generally accepted in the 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.  An audit also
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 Initio, Inc. as of April 30, 2001, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for the
year then ended in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States.

     Initio, Inc.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Business
In past years Initio, Inc., (the Company or Initio), through its wholly
owned  subsidiary,  Initio  Acquisition  Corp.  (formerly  called  Deerskin
Trading Post, Inc. Deerskin), primarily marketed leather goods by way  of
the  Deerskin  catalog  and gifts and housewares  through  its  Joan  Cook
catalog.

In April 1999, the Company entered into an agreement to sell materially all
of  the  assets of its Deerskin operation. Since May 1999, when  the  asset
sale  was  consummated, the Company began the process  of  identifying  new
business opportunities including, but not limited to, making an appropriate
acquisition.

Since  the sale of the Deerskin operation, the Company has been seeking  to
make an appropriate acquisition.

Basis of Presentation
The  consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the  Company
and Deerskin. All material intercompany items have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates
The  preparation  of  financial  statements in  conformity  with  generally
accepted  accounting principles requires management to make  estimates  and
assumptions  that affect the reported balances in the financial statements.
Actual results could differ from managements best estimates.

Reclassifications
Certain   items  in  the  prior  years  financial  statements  have   been
reclassified to conform to the fiscal 2001 presentation.

Marketable Securities
The  Company  classifies its marketable securities as either available  for
sale  or  held  to  maturity  in  accordance with  Statement  of  Financial
Accounting Standards No. 115 (SFAS 115). Available for sale securities  are
presented  at their estimated fair market value, which has been  determined
based  upon  security market quotes. Realized gains and losses,  calculated
based  upon  specific identification of shares sold, are  included  in  the
determination  of  Net  Income  (Loss). Unrealized  gains  and  losses  are
included  as  a  component  of  Other Comprehensive  Income  (Loss).   Debt
securities classified as held to maturity are reported at amortized cost.


Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The  carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash,
accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value  due  to
their  short-term  maturities.  The amounts presented for  the  convertible
debenture,   notes  receivable,  mortgage  payable  and  the   subordinated
convertible debenture also approximate fair value.


Fixed Assets
Fixed  assets  are  stated  at  cost net of  accumulated  depreciation  and
amortization.   Depreciation and amortization is computed by the  straight-
line method over the estimated useful life of the assets.


Long-Lived Assets
The  Companys  policy is to record long-lived assets at  cost,  amortizing
these  costs  over the expected useful lives of the related  assets.  Long-
lived  assets  are reviewed on a quarterly and annual basis for  impairment
whenever  events  or changes in circumstances indicate  that  the  carrying
amounts  of  the  assets may not be reasonable. Assets  are  evaluated  for
continuing  value and proper useful lives by comparison to expected  future
cash  flows.  Impairments  if  any,  are  recognized  in  the  consolidated
statements  of  operations and comprehensive income (loss)  in  the  period
identified.

Stock Based Compensation
The  Company  continues  to account for its stock  based  compensation  of
employees,  using the intrinsic value approach, described in  APB  No.  25.
The  impact on net income and income per share if the fair value method  of
accounting  for stock based compensation had been adopted would  have  been
negligible. Additional pro forma disclosures as required under Statement of
Financial  Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for  Stock-Based
Compensation,  are  presented within these Notes to Consolidated  Financial
Statements.

Earnings Per Common Share
Basic  Earnings  per Common Share, as well as Diluted Earnings  Per  Common
Share  has been computed based upon the weighted average number of actually
outstanding shares of the Companys common stock.  A reconciliation between
the  numerators and denominators of the basic and dilutive EPS computations
for net income is as follows:


                 Year ended April 30, 2001          Year ended April 30, 2000

Options to purchase 510,000 shares of common stock out of the total number
of options outstanding as of April 30, 2001 and April 30, 2000,
respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because
of their anti-dilutive effect.  The conversion of subordinated convertible
debentures to 324,675 common shares as of April 30, 2001 were not included
in the computation of diluted EPS because of their anti-dilutive effect.

Income Taxes
Income  taxes  have been provided using the liability method. Deferred  tax
assets  and  liabilities  are determined based on differences  between  the
financial  reporting  and  tax  basis of assets  and  liabilities  and  are
measured by applying estimated tax rates and laws to taxable years in which
such  differences  are  expected  to reverse.   A  valuation  allowance  is
provided  as  it is not more likely than not that all of the  deferred  tax
asset will be utilized.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In September 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
SFAS   No.   133,  Accounting  for  Derivative  Instruments  and   Hedging
Activities.  The statement established accounting and reporting  standards
requiring that every derivative instrument be recorded in the balance sheet
at  fair  value.   The statement requires that changes in the  derivatives
fair  value  be  recognized  in earnings unless specific  hedge  accounting
criteria  are  met.   Special  accounting for qualifying  hedges  allows  a
derivatives gains and losses to offset related results on the hedged  item
in  the  income  statement.   The  Company does  not  currently  engage  in
derivatives  activity and does not expect the adoption of this standard  to
have  a material effect on the Companys results of operations or financial
position.
In  July  1999, the FASB approved SFAS No. 137, Accounting for  Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities-Deferral of the Effective Date  of  FASB
Statement  No.  133,  which amends SFAS No. 133 to be  effective  for  all
fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000.


2. Discontinued Operations
In  April  1999,  the  Company  entered into an  agreement  with  Americas
Shopping  Mall, Inc. (formerly Advance Medical Sciences, Inc.) (ASM)  for
the  sale of materially all of the assets of its Deerskin operations, which
at  April  30,  1999 were categorized as a discontinued operation.  In  May
1999,  when  the  transaction  closed, the Company  received  approximately
$552,000  in cash, a $3,400,000 convertible debenture of the purchaser  and
was  released  from  $2,000,000  payment of  its  subordinated  convertible
debenture,  resulting  in  a gain before income taxes  of  approximately  $
2,124,000.   On April 30, 2001 Americas Shopping Mall, Inc.  defaulted  on
the  payment of interest with respect to the Debenture and consequently the
Company  has  recorded a reserve of 2,000,000 (before income taxes)  as  an
offset  against  the  gain  on sale of Discontinued  Operations  previously
reported.

In  May  1999,  the  Company  sold  its Peabody,  Massachusetts  plant  for
$550,000,  resulting  in  a  gain  before  income  taxes  of  approximately
$206,000.  The  Company received $275,000 in cash and a  15-year  note  for
$275,000, bearing interest at 8% per annum. The note provides for  monthly
installments of principal and interest of $2,708.

3. Marketable Securities
Marketable Securities at April 30, consist of the following:

                            2001                        2000

4.  Fixed Assets
Fixed  assets are recorded at cost and depreciated, using the straight-line
method  over their estimated useful lives, which generally approximates  40
years  for buildings. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the  lesser
of their useful lives or the remaining lease terms.

On  May  1,  2000 the Company resolved to sell the building and accordingly
has  reclassified  the net book value of the building and  improvements  as
building held for sale in the 2001 Consolidated Balance Sheet.

5. Convertible Debenture
The  $3,400,000 convertible debenture received in connection with the  sale
of the assets of the Deerskin operations bears interest at a rate of 8% per
annum  on the last day of each July, October, January and April until  June
1,  2004,  when the convertible debenture is to be redeemed  by  ASM.  This
debenture is secured by the intangibles sold by the Company to ASM and  has
a  convertible feature, which allows for the conversion into shares of  ASM
common  stock. The terms of the conversion called for in the debenture  was
$5.50  per  share  (after  giving effect to the 1  for  30  exchanges).  In
December 1999 ASM repaid $400,000 principal amount of the debenture and the
conversion  price was adjusted to $6.00 per share.  This  Debenture  is  in
default  as  of April 30, 2001 and consequently the Company has  set  up  a
reserve of $2,000,000.

At  April 30, 2001 the Company had Federal net operating loss carryforwards
of  approximately  $3,532,000.  Such losses can be utilized against  future
taxable  income and expire primarily between 2004 and 2020.  Under  section
382  of  the  Internal Revenue Code, these losses may  be  limited  due  to
ownership  changes.   The  Company has established  a  valuation  allowance
against its net deferred tax asset based on managements current belief that
it  is not more likely than not that all of the benefit related to such net
deferred tax will not be realized.

7. Mortgage
In  1995, the Company borrowed $ 1,000,000, of which approximately $778,000
was  outstanding at April 30th, 2001. The loan is secured by the  Companys
Carson  City  property, payable in monthly installments, bears interest  at
the rate of 9.25%, subject to adjustment in the future, and is due in 2010.
Principal payments approximate $40,000 per annum with a balloon payment  in
the final year.

8. Subordinated Convertible Debenture
In  February  1998, the Company issued $ 3,000,0000 principal amount  of  a
five year, 8 %, debenture, which was convertible, at $ 3.00 per share, into
the  Companys  common  stock. In December 1998, the  Company  issued  a  $
500,000  principal  amount  debenture,  convertible  at  $  1.54  into  the
Companys  common  stock. The conversion feature of  these  debentures  was
greater  than  the  market value at issuance. The $3,000,000  and  $500,000
debentures  mature on May 1, 2003 and December 23, 2003 respectively,  with
all  unpaid principal and interest due.  The Company has a commitment  from
the  same  debt  holder  for  an additional $  1,500,000  to  be  used  for
acquisitions. The conversion price of future borrowings is contingent  upon
the  future market price of the Companys common stock. Two representatives
of  the  debenture  holder  have been elected to  the  Companys  Board  of
Directors. The costs of this debt issuance have been deferred and are being
amortized over the term of the debenture, using the effective interest rate
method.  When the transaction described in Note 2 closed in May  1999,  the
Company  repaid  $2,000,000 of the $3,000,000 debenture and the  conversion
price was changed to $ 2.50 per share.


9. Stockholders Equity
Stock Option Plans
The  Company has two stock option plans, the 1991 Stock Option Plan  (1991
Plan)  and  the  1996 Stock Option Plan (1996 Plan).  Under  both  Plans
options  to  buy  the  Companys common stock  have  been  granted  to  key
employees and/or directors of the Company, for terms ranging from  five  to
ten years and which become exercisable at fixed times.



Options,  which may result in the issuance of up to 500,000 shares  of  the
Companys common stock, may be issued pursuant to the 1996 Plan. Under  the
1996  Plan  the  Company may award either Incentive Stock  Options  or  Non
Qualified  Stock Options.  The terms for either may not exceed  ten  years,
while  vesting  is  either  20 % annually or  as  the  Companys  Board  of
Directors  provides. Exercise prices approximate the market price  for  the
Companys  stock, except that in the case of award to holders of more  than
10  %  of  the  Companys stock the exercise is to be set by the  Companys
Board  of  Directors. Arising from the disposal of its catalog  operations,
the  Company decided that all employees of Deerskin, who had stock  options
on  shares of Initio common stock and did not continue in the employ of the
Company shall be fully vested effective upon the closing of the transaction
between Deerskin and ASM. All such persons had one year from April 30, 1999
to exercise such options.  As of April 30, 2000 all unexercised options for
these  former employees expired.  Activity for the Plans is as follows  for
the years ended;
