                             Initio, Inc.
                     Notes to Financial Statements


Basis of Consolidation:
The  consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Initio,
Inc.   and  its  wholly  owned  subsidiary  Initio  Acquisition  Corp.
(formerly named Deerskin Trading Post, Inc.), hereinafter collectively
referred to as the "Company".   All material intercompany transactions
and  balances have been eliminated.  Certain prior period amounts have
been reclassified to conform with current period presentation.

Use of Estimates:
Preparing  financial statements requires management to make  estimates
and   assumptions  that  affect  the  reported  amounts   of   assets,
liabilities,  revenue  and  expenses  and  consequently  stockholders'
equity.  Examples include estimates of future revenues  and  expenses.
Actual results may differ from these estimates.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared  in accordance with generally accepted accounting  principles
for  interim financial information in response to the requirements  of
Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly they do not include all  of
the   information   and  footnotes  required  by  generally   accepted
accounting  principles  for  complete financial  statements.   In  the
opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements
contain  all  adjustment (consisting only of normal  recurring  items)
necessary  to present fairly the financial position as of  July  31st,
2000;  results  of  operations for the three months ended  July  31st,
2000, and 1999; cash flows for the three months ended July 31st,  2000
and  1999;  for further information, refer to the Company's  financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-KSB for
the  year  ended April 30th, 2000.  The Balance sheet at  April  30th,

RECENT EVENTS

Item  2.   Management's 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  Company's  results  of operations and financial  condition.   The
discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company's  Financial
Statements and Notes thereto.

Management's   discussion   and  analysis  contains   "forward-looking
statements"  about the Company's 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 any  such  forward-
looking beliefs or judgements in making investment decisions.

Results of Operations:

As  of  April  30,  1999  the Company sold substantially  all  of  the
operating assets of its catalog business. In May 1999 the Company sold
its  facility in Peabody, Massachusetts to an unrelated party.   These
transactions  resulted in a gain, net of income taxes of approximately
$1,500,000.   Since that time the Company has been in the  process  of
identifying new business opportunities.

The  Company's  revenues, excluding gains on the  sale  of  marketable
securities which are transactional in nature and vary from  period  to
period,  decreased by approximately $76,000 during the  quarter.   The
decrease  was primarily attributable to the termination of  the  lease
for  the  Company's Nevada facility and the termination of  management
fee  income  from  the buyer of the Company's catalog  business.   The
Company's  general, administrative and interest expenses decreased  by
approximately $ 61,000.

In  the  period ended July 31st, 1999, the Company recorded a gain  on
the  sale  of  discontinued operations of $1,503,986  (net  of  income
taxes).   No  such  gain  was recorded in the current  period.   As  a
consequence  of the foregoing the company reported net income  in  the
period  ended  July  31st, 2000 of $11,477 versus  $2,442,455  in  the
period ended July 31st, 1999.

On  July  20th, 2000 the Company entered into a merger agreement  with
IncuLab, Inc. ( a Delaware Corporation).  IncuLab is a company,  which
provides  services to and invests in high tech early  stage  companies
and  is  in  the  process  of building a high tech  launch  center  in
Manhattan,  which will market space as well as professional consulting
and  financial  services to internet and other high tech  early  stage
companies.

Item  2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and the Results of Operations (Continued).


The  merger agreement provides that Initio will have a 2 for 3 reverse
split and thereafter will issue approximately 27,870,000 shares of the
common stock of Initio, Inc. so that immediately after such merger the
former  shareholders  of IncuLab shall own approximately  90%  of  the
issued  and outstanding shares and the other Initio, Inc. shareholders
shall own 10% thereof.


Liquidity and Capital Resources:

In May, 1999, when the sale of its catalog operations was consummated,
the  Company  received approximately $ 552,000 in cash, a $  3,400,000
convertible  debenture  of  the purchaser  and  was  released  from  $
2,000,000 of its subordinated debentures.  Additionally, in connection
with the sale of its Peabody, Massachusetts facility in May, 1999, the
Company  received  approximately $ 253,000 in cash  and  a  $  275,000
mortgage note from the purchaser.

As  of  July 31st , 2000 the Company had approximately $ 3,230,159  in
cash and marketable securities.

The sale in May, 1999 of the Company's catalog operations also reduced
its long-term liability on the subordinated debenture from $ 3,500,000
to  $  1,500,000.   As  of  July 31, 2000 the  Company's  liabilities,
excluding  the  subordinated debenture and the mortgage  payable,  was
approximately $ 98,000.
