(UNAUDITED)
NOTE
A - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary
of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the
accompanying financial statements follows.
Basis of
Presentation
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of October
31, 2008 and for the three and six month periods ended October 31, 2008 and 2007
have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, including Form 10-Q and Regulation S-K and
Form 10-QSB and Regulation S-B. The information furnished herein reflects all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments), which
are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the operating
results for the respective periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally present in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have
been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The Company believes that
the disclosures provided are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
audited financial statements and explanatory notes for the year ended April 30,
2008 as disclosed in the Company’s 10-KSB for that year as filed with the
SEC.
The
results of operations for the three and six months ended October 31, 2008 are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim
period or the full year ending April 30, 2009.
Estimates
The
preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results
could differ from those estimates.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company originates leases on new and used motorcycles and other powersports
vehicles from motorcycle dealers throughout the United States. The Company’s
leases are accounted for as either operating leases or direct financing leases.
At the inception of operating leases, no lease revenue is recognized and the
leased motorcycles, together with the initial direct costs of originating the
lease, which are capitalized, appear on the balance sheet as “motorcycles under
operating leases-net”. The capitalized cost of each motorcycle is depreciated
over the lease term, on a straight-line basis, down to the Company’s original
estimate of the projected value of the motorcycle at the end of the scheduled
lease term (the “Residual”). Monthly lease payments are recognized as rental
income. Direct financing leases are recorded at the gross amount of the lease
receivable (principal amount of the contract plus the calculated earned income
over the life of the contract), and the unearned income at lease inception is
amortized over the lease term.
The
Company purchases Retail Installment Sales Contracts (“RISC”) from motorcycle
dealers. The RISCs are secured by liens on the titles to the vehicles. The RISCs
are accounted for as loans. Upon purchase, the RISCs appear on the Company’s
balance sheet as RISC loan receivable current and long term. Interest income on
these loans is recognized when it is earned.

(UNAUDITED)
NOTE
A - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
The
Company realizes gains and losses as the result of the termination of leases,
both at and prior to their scheduled termination, and the disposition of the
related motorcycle. The disposal of motorcycles, which reach scheduled
termination of a lease, results in a gain or loss equal to the difference
between proceeds received from the disposition of the motorcycle and its net
book value. Net book value represents the residual value at scheduled lease
termination. Lease terminations that occur prior to scheduled maturity as a
result of the lessee’s voluntary request to purchase the vehicle have resulted
in net gains, equal to the excess of the price received over the motorcycle’s
net book value.
Early
lease terminations also occur because of (i) a default by the lessee, (ii) the
physical loss of the motorcycle, or (iii) the exercise of the lessee’s early
termination. In those instances, the Company receives the proceeds from either
the resale or release of the repossessed motorcycle, or the payment by the
lessee’s insurer. The Company records a gain or loss for the difference between
the proceeds received and the net book value of the motorcycle.
The
Company charges fees to manufacturers and other customers related to creating a
private label version of the Company’s financing program including web access,
processing credit applications, consumer contracts and other related documents
and processes. Fees received are amortized and booked as income over the length
of the contract.
The
Company evaluates its operating and retail installment sales leases on an
ongoing basis and has established reserves for losses, based on current and
expected future experience.
Stock Based
Compensation
The
Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) during third quarter of fiscal year 2006, which
no longer permits the use of the intrinsic value method under APB No. 25. The
Company uses the modified prospective method to adopt SFAS No. 123(R), which
requires compensation expense to be recorded for all stock-based compensation
granted on or after January 1, 2006, as well the unvested portion of previously
granted options. The Company is recording the compensation expense on a
straight-line basis, generally over the explicit service period of three to five
years. The Company made no stock-based compensation grants prior to the adoption
of SFAS No. 123(R) and therefore has no unrecognized stock compensation related
liabilities or expense unvested or vested prior to 2006.
Net Loss Per
Share
The
Company uses SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share”, for
calculating the basic and diluted loss per share. We compute basic loss per
share by dividing net loss and net loss attributable to common shareholders by
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share
is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is
increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been
outstanding if the potential shares had been issued and if the additional shares
were dilutive. Common equivalent shares are excluded from the computation of net
loss per share if their effect is anti-dilutive.
Per share
basic and diluted net loss attributable to common stockholders amounted to $0.01
and $0.01 for the three months ended October 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively,
and $0.01 and $0.01 for the six months ended October 31, 2008 and 2007,
respectively. At October 31, 2008 and 2007, 35,116,084 and 64,704,486 potential
shares, respectively, were excluded from the shares used to calculate diluted
earnings per share as their inclusion would reduce net loss per
share.

New Accounting
Pronouncements
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS
No. 141(R)”), which establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer
recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets
acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in an
acquiree, including the recognition and measurement of goodwill acquired in a
business combination. SFAS No. 141R is effective as of the beginning of the
first fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is
prohibited and the Company is currently evaluating the effect, if any, that the
adoption will have on its financial position results of operations or cash
flows.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interest in
Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS No. 160”), which will
change the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be
recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of
equity within the balance sheets. SFAS No. 160 is effective as of the beginning
of the first fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier
adoption is prohibited and the Company is currently evaluating the effect, if
any, that the adoption will have on its financial position results of operations
or cash flows.
In June
2007, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee issued Statement of Position
07-1, “Clarification of the Scope of the Audit and Accounting Guide Investment
Companies and Accounting by Parent Companies and Equity Method Investors for
Investments in Investment Companies” (“SOP 07-1”). SOP 07-1 provides guidance
for determining whether an entity is within the scope of the AICPA Audit and
Accounting Guide Investment Companies (the “Audit Guide”). SOP 07-1 was
originally determined to be effective for fiscal years beginning on or after
December 15, 2007, however, on February 6, 2008, FASB issued a final Staff
Position indefinitely deferring the effective date and prohibiting early
adoption of SOP 07-1 while addressing implementation issues.
In
December 2007, the FASB ratified the consensus in EITF Issue No. 07-1,
“Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements” (“EITF 07-1”). EITF 07-1 defines
collaborative arrangements and requires collaborators to present the result of
activities for which they act as the principal on a gross basis and report any
payments received from (made to) the other collaborators based on other
applicable authoritative accounting literature, and in the absence of other
applicable authoritative literature, on a reasonable, rational and consistent
accounting policy is to be elected. EITF 07-1 also provides for disclosures
regarding the nature and purpose of the arrangement, the entity’s rights and
obligations, the accounting policy for the arrangement and the income statement
classification and amounts arising from the agreement. EITF 07-1 will be
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, which will be the
Company’s fiscal year 2009, and will be applied as a change in accounting
principle retrospectively for all collaborative arrangements existing as of the
effective date. The Company has not yet evaluated the potential impact of
adopting EITF 07-1 on its financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
In March
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities – an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133” (“SFAS No.
161”). SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve financial standards for
derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures
to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial
position, financial performance, and cash flows. Entities are
required to provide enhanced disclosures about: (a) how and why an entity uses
derivative instruments; (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items
are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations; and (c)
how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial
position, financial performance and cash flows. It is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008,
with early adoption encouraged. The Company is currently evaluating
the impact of SFAS No. 161, if any, will have on its financial position, results
of operations or cash flows.

2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of
Intangible Assets”. This FSP amends the factors that should be
considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the
useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets”. The Company is required to adopt FSP 142-3
on September 1, 2009, and earlier adoption is prohibited. The
guidance in FSP 142-3 for determining the useful life of a recognized intangible
asset shall be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after
adoption, and the disclosure requirements shall be applied prospectively to all
intangible assets recognized as of, and subsequent to, adoption. The
Company is currently evaluating the impact of FSP 142-3 on its financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.
In May
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles” (“SFAS No. 162”). SFAS No. 162 identifies the
sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles
used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that
are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (the
GAAP hierarchy). SFAS No. 162 will become effective 60 days following
the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments
to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles.” The Company does not expect the
adoption of SFAS No. 162 will have a material effect on its financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.
In May
2008, the FASB issued FSP Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) 14-1 “Accounting
for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion
(Including Partial Cash Settlement)” (“FSP APB 14-1”). FSP APB 14-1
requires the issuer of certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled
in cash (or other assets) on conversion to separately account for the liability
(debt) and equity (conversion option) components of the instrument in a manner
that reflects the issuer’s non-convertible debt borrowing rate. FSP
APB 14-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 on a
retroactive basis. The Company is currently evaluating the potential
impact, if any, of the adoption of FSP APB 14-1 on its financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.
Other
recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging
Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC did not, or are not believed by
management to, have a material impact on the Company’s present or future
financial statements.
Reclassification
Certain
reclassifications have been made to conform prior periods’ data to the current
presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported
losses.

G - PURCHASED PORTFOLIO AND SECURED SENIOR NOTE
On
October 31, 2008, the Company purchased certain loans secured by a portfolio of
secured motorcycle leases (“Purchased Portfolio”) for a total purchase price of
$100,000. The Company paid $80,000 at closing and agreed to pay the
remaining $20,000 upon receipt of additional Purchase Portfolio
documentation. Proceeds from the Purchased Portfolio start accruing
to the Company beginning November 1, 2008.
To
finance the purchase, the Company issued a $150,000 Senior Secured Note dated
October 31, 2008 (“Senior Secured Note”) in exchange for $100,000 from the
Senior Secured Note holder. Terms of the Senior Secured Note require
the Company to make semi-monthly payments in amounts equal to all net proceeds
from Purchased Portfolio lease payments and motorcycle asset sales received
until the Company has paid $150,000 to the Senior Secured Note
holder. The Company is obligated to pay any remainder of the Senior
Secured Note by November 1, 2009 and has granted the Senior Secured Note holder
a security interest in the Purchased Portfolio.

NOTE M - GOING CONCERN
MATTERS
The
accompanying unaudited condensed 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. As shown in the
accompanying financial statements during the period October 1, 2001 (date of
inception) through October 31, 2008, the Company incurred loss of $24,933,980.
Of these losses, $2,707,016 was incurred in the six months ending October 31,
2008 and $2,257,552 in the six months ending October 31, 2007. These factors
among others may indicate that the Company will be unable to continue as a going
concern for a reasonable period of time.
The
Company’s existence is dependent upon management’s ability to develop profitable
operations. Management is devoting substantially all of its efforts to
developing its business and raising capital and there can be no assurance that
the Company’s efforts will be successful. However, there can be no assurance can
be given that management’s actions will result in profitable operations or the
resolution of its liquidity problems. The accompanying statements do not include
any adjustments that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a
going concern.
In order
to improve the Company’s liquidity, the Company’s management is actively
pursuing additional equity financing through discussions with investment bankers
and private investors and the US Government. There can be no assurance the
Company will be successful in its effort to secure additional equity
financing.

increasing, sales revenues, have incurred significant expenses, and have
sustained significant losses. We believe we will continue to earn increasing
revenues from operations during the remainder of fiscal year ending April 30
2009 and in the upcoming fiscal year.

ended October 31, 2008 as compared to $1,195,054 for the corresponding interim
period in 2007. The $197,081 or 16.5% decrease. The decrease in our net loss
before preferred dividends for our three month interim period ended October 31,

decrease in preferred dividends of $16,838.
Comparison
of the Six Months Ended October 31, 2008 to the Six Months Ended October 31,
2007
For the

months ended October 31, 2007, we incurred a non-cash charge of $105,133 related
to shares of common stock issued for financing cost.
18
Net
Loss
We
incurred a net loss before preferred dividends of $2,707,016 for our six months
ended October 31, 2008 as compared to $2,257,552 for the corresponding interim
period in 2007. The $449,463 or 19.9% increase in our net loss before preferred
dividends for our six month interim period ended October 31, 2008 was
attributable to a $114,668, 19.7%, increase in revenue, and a $532,489, 500%
increase in non-cash financing costs and beneficial conversion discount, and a
$34,804, 12.5% increase in interest expense.
We also
incurred non-cash preferred dividend expense of $2,522 for our six month period
ended October 31, 2008 as compared with a non-cash expense of $22,713 in the
corresponding interim period of 2007. The decrease in preferred dividend expense
was attributable to the conversion of preferred shares to common
stock.
Our net
loss attributable to common stockholders increased to $2,709,538 for our six
month period ended October 31, 2008 as compared to $2,280,265 for the
corresponding period in 2007. The $429,273 increase in net loss attributable to
common stockholders for our six month period ended October 31, 2008 was due to
the increase in net loss and the decrease in preferred dividends.
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of
October 31, 2008, we had a deficit net worth of $4,676,655. We generated a
deficit in cash flow from operations of $1,343,956 for the six months ended
October 31, 2008. This deficit is primarily attributable to our net loss from
operations of $2,707,016, partially offset by depreciation and amortization of
$109,171, other non-cash charges totaling $1,307,682 and to changes in the
balances of current assets and liabilities. Accounts payable and accrued
expenses decreased by $46,117, other receivables decreases of $18,489 and
prepaid expenses increased by $10,060.
Cash
flows provided by investing activities for the six months ended October 31, 2008
was $184.830, primarily due to the net sale of RISC contracts of $13,460 and
payments from motorcycles and vehicles of $251,370, offset by the purchase of a
portfolio of loans secured by leases for $800,000.
We met
our cash requirements during the six month period through proceeds of
convertible notes of $1,072,500, proceeds of notes payable $343,500 and loans
payable to officers $97,500 and net payments on debt financing of $338,281.
Additionally, we have received limited revenues from leasing and financing
motorcycles and other vehicles, fees from our municipal lease program, and from
our Preferred Provider Program.
We do not
anticipate incurring significant research and development expenditures, and we
do not anticipate the sale or acquisition of any significant property, plant or
equipment, during the next twelve months. At October 31, 2008 we had
15 full time employees. If we fully implement our business plan, we anticipate
our employment base may increase by approximately 50% during the next twelve
months. As we continue to expand, we will incur additional cost for personnel.
This projected increase in personnel is dependent upon our generating revenues
and obtaining sources of financing. There is no guarantee that we will be
successful in raising the funds required or generating revenues sufficient to
fund the projected increase in the number of employees.
While we
have raised capital to meet our working capital and financing needs in the past,
additional financing is required in order to meet our current and projected cash
flow deficits from operations and development. We are seeking financing, which
may take the form of debt, convertible debt or equity, in order to provide the
necessary working capital. There is no guarantee that we will be successful in
raising the funds required.
We
estimate that we will need to raise approximately $2,000,000 in additional funds
to fully implement our business plan during the next twelve months and for our
general operating expenses. As of October 31, 2008, we have do not have
sufficient operating capital to continue our planned business operations for the
next twelve months and for our general operating expenses.
19
The
Company obtained a senior credit facility in July 2005, which was subsequently
renewed. In August 2008, reflective of the current restrictive credit
environment, this lender significantly tightened its lending criteria which, in
turn, has caused us to tighten our credit criteria, thereby significantly
limiting our ability to purchase RISC Contracts and purchase vehicles for lease.
In August 2008, we signed a commitment letter with a European based bank for a
one year $25 million renewable senior secured credit facility, which under
certain conditions can be extended for a second year. The closing of this
facility is subject to due diligence, documentation and certain other terms. If
we successfully complete the conditions of this bank, we anticipate the closing
of this facility will occur early in our third fiscal quarter. We
have an agreement with a domestic bank for the leasing of vehicles and equipment
by state, political subdivisions thereof or other governmental or 501(c) (3),
not for profit entities. Under this agreement, we receive certain fees for
finding, negotiating and documenting lease transactions purchased by this bank.
This agreement is exclusive as to motorcycles and other powersports equipment
and non-exclusive for other equipment and vehicles. A number of these
transactions are solicited from our dealer base. In October 2008, we entered
into a Vendor Program Agreement with a private funding source which will provide
commercial, non-governmental, non-consumer leases, rentals and other customized
funding arrangements for the acquisition of powersports vehicles to customers
referred to this funding source by the Company. Under this agreement, we receive
certain fees for finding, negotiating and documenting lease transactions
purchased by this funding source. We are continuously seeking additional credit
facilities and long term debt financing. Any debt financing, if available, would
likely require payment of interest and may involve restrictive covenants that
could impose limitations on the operating flexibility of the Company. If we are
not successful in generating sufficient liquidity from operations or in raising
sufficient capital resources to finance our general operating expenses and our
growth, on terms acceptable to us, this would have a material adverse effect on
our business, results of operations, liquidity and financial condition, and we
will have to adjust our planned operations and development to a more limited
scale.
GOING
CONCERN ISSUES
The
independent auditors report on our April 30, 2008 and 2007 financial statements
included in the Company’s Annual Report states that the Company’s historical
losses and the lack of revenues raise substantial doubts about the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern, due to the losses incurred and its lack
of significant operations. If we are unable to develop our business, we have to
discontinue operations or cease to exist, which would be detrimental to the
value of the Company’s common stock. We can make no assurances that our business
operations will develop and provide us with significant cash to continue
operations.
In order
to improve the Company’s liquidity, the Company’s management is actively
pursuing additional financing through discussions with investment bankers,
financial institutions and private investors. There can be no assurance the
Company will be successful in its effort to secure additional
financing.
We
continue to experience net operating losses. Our ability to continue as a going
concern is subject to our ability to develop profitable operations. We are
devoting substantially all of our efforts to developing our business and raising
capital. Our net operating losses increase the difficulty in meeting such goals
and there can be no assurances that such methods will prove
successful.
The
primary issues management will focus on in the immediate future to address this
matter include: seeking additional credit facilities from institutional lenders;
seeking institutional investors for debt or equity investments in our Company;
short term interim debt financing: and private placements of debt and equity
securities with accredited investors.
To
address these issues, we are negotiating the potential sale of securities with
investment banking companies to assist us in raising capital. We are also
presently in discussions with several institutions about obtaining additional
credit facilities.
20
INFLATION
The
impact of inflation on the costs of the Company, and the ability to pass on cost
increases to its customers over time is dependent upon market conditions. The
Company is not aware of any inflationary pressures that have had any significant
impact on the Company’s operations over the past quarter, and the Company does
not anticipate that inflationary factors will have a significant impact on
future operations.
OFF-BALANCE
SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
The
Company does not maintain off-balance sheet arrangements nor does it participate
in non-exchange traded contracts requiring fair value accounting
treatment.
TRENDS,
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
We have
sought to identify what we believe to be the most significant risks to our
business, but we cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks
may be realized nor can we guarantee that we have identified all possible risks
that might arise.
Our
annual operating results may fluctuate significantly in the future as a result
of a variety of factors, most of which are outside our control, including: the
demand for our products and services; seasonal trends in purchasing, the amount
and timing of capital expenditures and other costs relating to the commercial
and consumer financing; price competition or pricing changes in the market;
technical difficulties or system downtime; general economic conditions and
economic conditions specific to the consumer financing sector.
Our
annual results may also be significantly impacted by the impact of the
accounting treatment of acquisitions, financing transactions or other matters.
Particularly at our early stage of development, such accounting treatment can
have a material impact on the results for any quarter. Due to the foregoing
factors, among others, it is likely that our operating results may fall below
our expectations or those of investors in some future quarter.
Our
future performance and success is dependent upon the efforts and abilities of
our management. To a very significant degree, we are dependent upon the
continued services of Anthony L. Havens, our President and Chief Executive
Officer and member of our Board of Directors. If we lost the services of either
Mr. Havens, or other key employees before we could get qualified replacements,
that loss could materially adversely affect our business. We do not maintain key
man life insurance on any of our management.
Our
officers and directors are required to exercise good faith and high integrity in
our management affairs. Our bylaws provide, however, that our directors shall
have no liability to us or to our shareholders for monetary damages for breach
of fiduciary duty as a director except with respect to (1) a breach of the
director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (2) acts or
omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law, (3) liability which may be specifically defined by law or (4)
a transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit.
The
present officers and directors own approximately 50% of the outstanding shares
of common stock, without giving effect to shares underlying convertible
securities, and therefore are in a position to elect all of our Directors and
otherwise control the Company, including, without limitation, authorizing the
sale of equity or debt securities of Sparta, the appointment of officers, and
the determination of officers’ salaries. Shareholders have no cumulative voting
rights.
We may
experience growth, which will place a strain on our managerial, operational and
financial systems resources. To accommodate our current size and manage growth
if it occurs, we must devote management attention and resources to improve our
financial strength and our operational systems. Further, we will need to expand,
train and manage our sales and distribution base. There is no guarantee that we
will be able to effectively manage our existing operations or the growth of our
operations, or that our facilities, systems, procedures or controls will be
adequate to support any future growth. Our ability to manage our operations and
any future growth will have a material effect on our
stockholders.
21
If we
fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed from
the OTC Bulletin Board which would limit the ability of broker-dealers to sell
our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the
secondary market. Companies trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, such
as us, must be reporting issuers under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended, and must be current in their reports under Section 13, in
order to maintain price quotation privileges on the OTC Bulletin Board. If we
fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed from
the OTC Bulletin Board. As a result, the market liquidity for our securities
could be severely adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers
to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities
in the secondary market.
CRITICAL
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The
preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and
judgments that affect our reported assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses,
and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates
and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions we
believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Future events, however, may
differ markedly from our current expectations and assumptions. While there are a
number of significant accounting policies affecting our financial statements, we
believe the following critical accounting policies involves the most complex,
difficult and subjective estimates and judgments.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company originates leases on new and used motorcycles and other powersports
vehicles from motorcycle dealers throughout the United States. The Company’s
leases are accounted for as either operating leases or direct financing leases.
At the inception of operating leases, no lease revenue is recognized and the
leased motorcycles, together with the initial direct costs of originating the
lease, which are capitalized, appear on the balance sheet as “motorcycles under
operating leases-net”. The capitalized cost of each motorcycle is depreciated
over the lease term, on a straight-line basis, down to the Company’s original
estimate of the projected value of the motorcycle at the end of the scheduled
lease term (the “Residual”). Monthly lease payments are recognized as rental
income. Direct financing leases are recorded at the gross amount of the lease
receivable (principal amount of the contract plus the calculated earned income
over the life of the contract), and the unearned income at lease inception is
amortized over the lease term.
The
Company purchases Retail Installment Sales Contracts (“RISC”) from motorcycle
dealers. The RISCs are secured by liens on the titles to the vehicles. The RISCs
are accounted for as loans. Upon purchase, the RISCs appear on the Company’s
balance sheet as RISC loan receivable current and long term. Interest income on
these loans is recognized when it is earned.
The
Company realizes gains and losses as the result of the termination of leases,
both at and prior to their scheduled termination, and the disposition of the
related motorcycle. The disposal of motorcycles, which reach scheduled
termination of a lease, results in a gain or loss equal to the difference
between proceeds received from the disposition of the motorcycle and its net
book value. Net book value represents the residual value at scheduled lease
termination. Lease terminations that occur prior to scheduled maturity as a
result of the lessee’s voluntary request to purchase the vehicle have resulted
in net gains, equal to the excess of the price received over the motorcycle’s
net book value.
Early
lease terminations also occur because of (i) a default by the lessee, (ii) the
physical loss of the motorcycle, or (iii) the exercise of the lessee’s early
termination. In those instances, the Company receives the proceeds from either
the resale or release of the repossessed motorcycle, or the payment by the
lessee’s insurer. The Company records a gain or loss for the difference between
the proceeds received and the net book value of the motorcycle.
The
Company charges fees to manufacturers and other customers related to creating a
private label version of the Company’s financing program including web access,
processing credit applications, consumer contracts and other related documents
and processes. Fees received are amortized and booked as income over the length
of the contract.
22
The
Company evaluates its operating and retail installment sales leases on an
ongoing basis and has established reserves for losses, based on current and
expected future experience.
Stock-Based
Compensation
On
December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB
Statement No. 123(R) (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” which is a revision
of FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”. SFAS
123(R) supersedes APB opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees”, and amends FASB Statement No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows”.
Generally, the approach in SFAS 123(R) is similar to the approach described in
SFAS 123. However, SFAS 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees,
including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income
statement based on their fair values. Pro-forma disclosure is no longer an
alternative. Management has elected to apply SFAS 123(R) in the third quarter of
fiscal year 2006.
Website
Development Costs
We have
incurred costs to develop a proprietary web-based private label financing
program for processing including web access, processing credit applications,
consumer contracts and other related documents and processes. The Company has
elected to recognize the costs of developing its website and related
intellectual property the website development costs in accordance with Emerging
Issue Task Force (“EITF”) No. 00-02, “Accounting for Website Development Costs.”
As such, the Company expenses all costs incurred that relate to the planning and
post implementation phases of development of its website. Direct costs incurred
in the development phase are capitalized and recognized over the estimated
useful life. Costs associated with repair or maintenance for the website are
included in cost of net revenues in the current period expenses. During the
quarter ended October 31, 2008 and July 31, 2008, the Company expensed $13,519
and $12,685 respectively as website development costs.

4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Our
management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our
Principal Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure
controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this
report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal
Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of
the end of the period covered by this report were effective.
There was
no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule
13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the fiscal quarter to which
this report relates that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Management
does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal
control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and fraud. Any
control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain
assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its
objectives will be met. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute
assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all
control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been
detected.

SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.
In August
2008, in transactions deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities
Act in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, the Company sold to seven
accredited investors an aggregate of $80,000 in short term, unsecured 10% notes
due October 2008. As inducements for these loans, the Company agreed to issue
one share of unregistered common stock for each dollar lent. In the
event of default, the interest rate is to increase to 20%. In the event of
default, the holders of notes for $50,000 are entitled to an additional 0.2
share of unregistered common stock, for each month the default is not cured, for
each dollar lent, and the holders of notes for $30,000 are entitled to one
additional share of unregistered common stock, on a one-time basis, for each
dollar lent.
