NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JULY 31, 2008
(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 financial statements as of July 31, 2008 and for the three month periods ended July 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, as it may be amended.

The results of the three months ended July 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for 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.

JULY 31, 2008
(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.

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 quarters ended July 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. At July 31, 2008 and 2007, 30,302,766 and 20,934,071 potential shares, respectively, were excluded from the shares used to calculate diluted earnings per share as their inclusion would reduce net loss per share.

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
 
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.

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

In April 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 with the current presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported losses.

NOTE K - 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 July 31, 2008, the Company incurred loss of $23,934,746. Of these losses, $1,710,304 was incurred in the quarter ending July 31, 2008 and $1,067,112 in the quarter ending July 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 pursing additional equity financing through discussions with investment bankers and private investors. There can be no assurance the Company will be successful in its effort to secure additional equity financing.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with (1) our interim unaudited financial statements and their explanatory notes included as part of this quarterly report, and (2) our annual audited financial statements and explanatory notes for the year ended April 30, 2008 as disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-KSB for that year as filed with the SEC.

“Forward-Looking” Information

This report on Form 10-Q contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which represent our expectations and beliefs, including, but not limited to, statements concerning the Company’s expected growth. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date such statement was made. These statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond our control, and actual results may differ materially depending on a variety of important factors.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of the Three Months Ended July 31, 2008 to the Three Months Ended July 31, 2007

For the three months ended July 31, 2008 and 2007, we have generated limited, but 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 our fiscal year ending April 30, 2008 and in the upcoming fiscal year.

Revenues

Revenues totaled $394,919 during the three months ended July 31, 2008 as compared to $283,997 during the three months ended July 31, 2007. Current period revenue was comprised primarily of $204,044 in interest income from RISC Loans, $89,694 in lease revenue, $85,690 in recovery of prior year’s expenses, $5,415 in other income, and $10,077 in gain on sale of vehicles. For the three months ended July 31, 2007 revenues were comprised primarily of $105,129 in lease revenue, $138,964 in interest income from RISC loans, and $39,904 in other income.

Costs and Expenses

General and administrative expenses were $1,364,152 during the three months ended July 31, 2008, compared to $1,096,704 during the three months ended July 31, 2007, an increase of $267,448 or 24.4%. Expenses incurred during the current three month period consisted primarily of the following expenses: compensation and related costs of $403,037; legal and accounting fees of $46,187; consulting fees of $64,800; rent and utilities of $93,893; general office expenses of $124,475; and loss reserve expense of $22,919. Expenses incurred during the comparative three month period in 2007 consisted primarily of the following expenses: compensation and related costs, $501,313; accounting, audit and professional fees, $7,404; consulting fees, $80,246; rent and utilities, $74,414; general office expenses, $143,201; and loss reserve, $52,994.

During the three months ended July 31, 2008, we incurred the following non-cash, equity based compensation charges: consulting, $520,000; employee stock and option compensation, $67,249; beneficial conversion cost of $318,182 and financing costs, $183,115. During the three months ended July 31, 2007, we incurred the following non-cash, equity based compensation charges: consulting, $118,510; employee stock and option compensation, $67,807; and financing costs, $39,600.

15


Net Loss

We incurred a net loss before preferred dividends of $1,709,042 for our three months ended July 31, 2008 as compared to $1,062,499 for the corresponding three month period in 2007. The $646,543 or 60.85% increase in our net loss before preferred dividends for our three month interim period ended July 31, 2008 was attributable primarily to a $508,331 or 298.32% increase in interest expense and financing costs and a $249,135 or 21.2% increase in operating expenses, all partially off-set by a $110,922 or 39% increase in revenues.

Our net loss attributable to common stockholders increased to $1,710,304 for our three month period ended July 31, 2008 as compared to $1,067,112 for the corresponding three month period in 2007.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of July 31, 2008, the Company had negative net worth of $4,098,534. The Company generated a deficit in cash flow from operations of $726,458 for the three months ended July 31, 2008. Cash flows used in investing activities for the three months ended July 31, 2008 was $150,843, primarily due to the purchase of RISC Loans for $393,354 and net pay-offs of leases of $242,511.

Cash flows used in investing activities for the three months ended July 31, 2007 was $1,021,592, primarily due to payments for motorcycles and vehicles of $51,461 and purchases of RISC Loans in the amount of $970,131.

The Company met its cash requirements for operating activities during the three month period ended July 31, 2008 primarily through net proceeds from debt financing of $1,893,847 offset with payments of $1,020,700 and conversion of debt, plus accrued interest of $784,140, to common stock. Additionally, the Company had received limited revenues from leasing and financing motorcycles and other vehicles, municipal leasing program fees and other fees.

The Company met its cash requirements for operating and financing activities during the three month period ended July 31, 2007 through net proceeds from debt financing of $2,188,778 offset with payments of $440,635. Additionally, the Company had received limited revenues from leasing and financing motorcycles and other vehicles, its recently launched private label programs and from dealer sign-up fees.

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 July 31, 2008 we had 17 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 July 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. The Company obtained a senior credit facility in July 2005, which was subsequently renewed. Subsequent to July 31, 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, 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 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 late in our second fiscal quarter or 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. 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 pursing 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.

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 dependant 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.

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.

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 July 31, 2008, the Company expensed $12,685 as website development costs.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

There have been no significant new pronouncements since the issuance of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2008.

ITEM 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.
