(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, 2009 and for the three and six month periods ended October 31, 2009 and 2008
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-Q 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,
2009 as disclosed in the Company’s 10-K for that year as filed with the
SEC.
The
results of operations for the three and six months ended October 31, 2009 are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim
period or the full year ending April 30, 2010.
New Accounting Requirements
and Disclosures
Accounting Standards Codification
and GAAP Hierarchy — Effective for interim and annual periods
ending after September 15, 2009, the Accounting Standards Codification and
related disclosure requirements issued by the FASB became the single official
source of authoritative, nongovernmental GAAP. The ASC simplifies GAAP, without
change, by consolidating the numerous, predecessor accounting standards and
requirements into logically organized topics. All other literature not included
in the ASC is non-authoritative. We adopted the ASC as of October 31, 2009,
which did not have any impact on our results of operations, financial condition
or cash flows as it does not represent new accounting literature or
requirements. All references to pre-codified U.S. GAAP have been
removed from this Form 10Q.
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.

TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OCTOBER

(UNAUDITED)
NOTE
A – SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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.
Inventories
Inventories
are valued at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined using the
first-in, first-out method and with market defined as the lower of replacement
cost or realizable value.
Website Development
Costs
The
Company recognizes website development costs in accordance with ASC 350-50,
"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.
Cash
Equivalents
For the
purpose of the accompanying financial statements, all highly liquid investments
with a maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash
equivalents.

A – SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Income
Taxes
Deferred
income taxes are provided using the asset and liability method for financial
reporting purposes in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740-10, "Accounting for Income
Taxes". Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognized for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and
liabilities and their carrying values for financial reporting purposes and for
operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable
income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be
removed or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a
change in tax rates is recognized in the statements of operations in the period
that includes the enactment date.
ASC
740-10, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute
for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken
or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC 740 also provides guidance on
derecognition, classification, treatment of interest and penalties, and
disclosure of such positions. As a result of implementing ASC 740, there has
been no adjustment to the Company’s financial statements and the adoption of ASC
740 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements for the year ending April 30, 2009 or the three months or six months
ended October 31, 2009.
Fair Value
Measurements
The
Company adopted ASC 820,” Fair
Value Measurements”, which establishes a
three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation
techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority
to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets the lowest priority to
unobservable inputs to fair value measurements of certain assets and
Liabilities. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 are
described below:
|
·
|
Level 1 —
Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. Level 1
assets and liabilities include debt and equity securities and derivative
contracts that are traded in an active exchange market, as well as certain
securities that are highly liquid and are actively traded in
over-the-counter markets.
|
|
·
|
Level 2 —
Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for
identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model
derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value
drivers are observable in active
markets.
|
|
·
|
Level 3 —
Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and
that are significant to the fair value measurements. Level 3 assets
and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined
using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar
techniques based on significant unobservable inputs, as well as management
judgments or estimates that are significant to
valuation.
|
This
hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data, when available,
and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. For
some products or in certain market conditions, observable inputs may not always
be available.

Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets
In
accordance ASC 360-10, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets” long-lived assets, such as
property, equipment, motorcycles and other vehicles and purchased intangible
assets subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not
be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by
comparing the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash
flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset
exceeds its estimated future cash flows or quoted market prices in active
markets if available, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which
the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the
asset.
Comprehensive
Income
In
accordance with ASC 220-10, “Reporting Comprehensive
Income," establishes standards for reporting and displaying of
comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive
income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from
investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, ASC
220-10 requires that all items that are required to be recognized under current
accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in a
financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other
financial statements. At October31, 2009 and April 30, 2009, the Company has no
items of other comprehensive income.
Segment
Information
The
Company does not have separate, reportable segments under ASC 280-10, “Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information”. ASC 280-10
establishes standards for reporting information regarding operating segments in
annual financial statements and requires selected information for those segments
to be presented in interim financial reports issued to stockholders. ASC 280-10
also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services
and geographic areas. Operating segments are identified as components of an
enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for
evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, in
making decisions how to allocate resources and assess performance. The
information disclosed herein, materially represents all of the financial
information related to the Company's principal operating segment.
Stock Based
Compensation
The
Company adopted ASC 718-10, “Stock
Compensation” which records compensation expense on a straight-line
basis, generally over the explicit service period of three to five
years.
ASC
718-10 requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment
awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the
portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as
expense over the requisite service periods in the Company’s Consolidated
Statement of Operations. The Company is using the Black-Scholes option-pricing
model as its method of valuation for share-based awards. The Company’s
determination of fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant
using an option-pricing model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well
as assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables.
These variables include, but are not limited to the Company’s expected stock
price volatility over the term of the awards, and certain other market variables
such as the risk free interest rate.

A – SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Concentrations of Credit
Risk
Financial
instruments and related items, which potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and
receivables. The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with
high credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of
the FDIC insurance limit.
Allowance for
Losses
The
Company has loss reserves for its portfolio of Leases and for its portfolio of
Retail Installment Sales Contracts (“RISC”). The allowance for
Lease and RISC losses is increased by charges against earnings and decreased by
charge-offs (net of recoveries). To the extent actual credit losses exceed these
reserves, a bad debt provision is recorded; and to the extent credit losses are
less than the reserve, additions to the reserve are reduced or discontinued
until the loss reserve is in line with the Company’s reserve ratio policy.
Management’s periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on
the Company’s past lease and RISC experience, known and inherent risks in the
portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay,
the estimated value of any underlying collateral and current economic
conditions. The Company periodically reviews its Lease and RISC receivables in
determining its allowance for doubtful accounts.
The
Company charges-off receivables when an individual account has become more than
120 days contractually delinquent. In the event of repossession, the asset
is immediately sent to auction or held for release.
Property and
Equipment
Property
and equipment are recorded at cost. Minor additions and renewals are expensed in
the year incurred. Major additions and renewals are capitalized and depreciated
over their estimated useful lives. Depreciation is calculated using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives. Estimated useful lives of
major depreciable assets are as follows:

Advertising
Costs
The
Company follows a policy of charging the costs of advertising to expenses
incurred. During the six months ended October 31, 2009 and the year ended April
30, 2009, the Company
incurred $3,454 and $18,318 in advertising
costs, respectively.
Net Loss Per
Share
The
Company uses ASC 260-10, “Earnings Per Share” for
calculating the basic and diluted loss per share. The Company computes basic
loss per share by dividing net loss and net loss attributable to common
shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Common
equivalent shares are excluded from the computation of net loss per share if
their effect is anti-dilutive.

NOTE
F – PURCHASED PORTFOLIO AND SECURED SENIOR NOTE
The
Company finances certain of its leases through a third party. The repayment
terms are generally one year to five years and the notes are secured by the
underlying assets. The weighted average interest rate at October 31, 2009 is
10.48%.
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.

During
the year ended April 30, 2007, the Company sold to five accredited
investors’ bridge notes in the aggregate amount of $275,000. The bridge
notes were originally scheduled to expire on various dates through
November 30, 2006, together with simple interest at the rate of 10%. The
notes provided that 100,000 shares of the Company's unregistered common
stock are to be issued as “Equity Kicker” for each $100,000 of notes
purchased, or any prorated portion thereof. The Company had the right to
extend the maturity date of notes for 30 to 45 days, in which event the
lenders were entitled for “additional equity” equal to 60% of the “Equity
Kicker” shares. In the event of default on repayment by the Company, the
notes provided for a 50% increase in the “Equity Kicker” and the
“Additional Equity” for each month, as penalty, that such default has not
been cured, and for a 20% interest rate during the default
period. The repayments, in the event of default, of the notes
are to be collateralized by certain security interest. The
maturity dates of the notes were subsequently extended to various dates
between December 5, 2006 to December 30, 2006, with simple interest rate
of 10%, and Additional Equity in the aggregate amount of 165,000
unregistered shares of common stock to be issued. Thereafter, the Company
was in default on repayment of these notes. During the year
ended April 30, 2009, $99,000 of these loans was repaid. The holder of one
remaining note for $100,000 plus the accrued interest thereon has agreed
to convert into shares of the Company’s common stock. The
holders of the remaining $76,000 notes had agreed to contingently convert
those notes plus accrued interest into shares of the Company’s common

stock, and 400,000 common stock purchase warrants. The debentures bear
interest at the rate of 12% per year compounded monthly and are
convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at $0.0504 per
share. The warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis and are
exercisable until September 19, 2007 at $0.05 per share. In the event the
debentures are not timely repaid, the Company is to issue 100,000 shares
of unregistered common stock for each thirty day period the debentures
remain outstanding. The Company has accrued interest and penalties as per
the terms of the note agreement. In May, 2008, the Company
repaid $1,474 of principal and $3,526 in accrued interest. Additionally,
from April 26, 2008 through April 30, 2009, a third party to the note

are payable upon redemption of the Series B shares. The Company’s
common stock may not be redeemed while Series B shares are
outstanding. The Series B certificate of designations provides that,
without the approval of a majority of the Series B shares, the Company cannot
authorize or create any class of stock ranking as to distribution of assets upon
a liquidation senior to or otherwise pari passu with the Series B shares,
liquidate, dissolve or wind-up the Company’s business and affairs, or effect
certain fundamental corporate transactions, or otherwise alter or change
adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the Series B
shares. The Series B shares have a liquidation preference per share
equal to the original price per share thereof plus all accrued dividends thereon
upon liquidation, including upon consummation of certain fundamental corporate
transactions, dissolution, or winding up of the Company’s
business. The Series B shares are redeemable at the Company’s option
on or after the fifth anniversary of the date of its issuance.
On July
29, 2009, the Company entered into a Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement with
Optimus Capital Partners, LLC, an unaffiliated investment fund. Under
the agreement, Optimus is committed to purchase up to $5,000,000 of the
Company’s Series B Preferred Stock for a one year period. From time
to time, the Company may send a notice requiring Optimus to purchase shares of
the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock, subject to satisfaction of certain
closing conditions. Optimus will not be obligated to purchase the
Series B Preferred Stock (i) in the event the closing price of the Company’s
common stock during the nine trading days following delivery of a purchase
notice falls below 75% of the closing price on the trading day prior to the date
such notice is delivered to Optimus, or (ii) to the extent such purchase would
result in Optimus and its affiliates beneficially owning more than 9.99% of the
Company’s common stock.
On the
date of delivery of each purchase notice under the agreement, the Company will
also issue to Optimus five-year warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock
at an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on
the trading day prior to the delivery date of the notice. The number of shares
issuable upon exercise of the warrant will be equal in value to 135% of the
purchase price of the Series B Preferred Stock to be issued in respect of the
related notice. Each warrant will be exercisable on the earlier of
(i) the date on which a registration statement registering for resale the shares
of common stock issuable upon exercise of such warrant becomes effective and
(ii) the date that is six months after the issuance date of such
warrant.
The
Company agreed to file after each drawn down, and to seek and maintain
effectiveness of, a registration statement covering the shares underlying the
issued warrants. On the earlier of the first draw down or 6 months from the date
of the agreement, the Company agreed to pay a non-refundable commitment fee of
$250,000.00 to Optimus. Pursuant to a concurrent transaction between Optimus and
several of the Company’s non-affiliated stockholders, Optimus may borrow up to
33,990,000 shares of the Company’s common stock from such
stockholders. On July 31, 2009, pursuant to the agreement, the
Company requested Optimus to purchase 90 shares of the Company’s Series B
Preferred Stock valued at $900,000 and issued 13,500,000 five year warrants to
purchase 13,500,000 shares of common stock at $0.09 per share. On
August 14, 2009, the Company sold to Optimus 90 shares of Series B Preferred
stock for gross proceeds of $900,000. On October 21, 2009, pursuant to the
agreement, the Company requested Optimus to purchase 67 shares of the Company’s
Series B Preferred Stock valued at $670,000 and issued 18,066,176 five year
warrants to purchase 18,066,176 shares of common stock at $0.068 per
share. On November 6, 2009, the Company sold to Optimus 67 shares of
Series B Preferred stock for gross proceeds of $670,000, and purchased from
Optimus 2,000,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.05 or
$100,000.

Preferred Stock Series
C
In
November 2009, the Company authorized a new series of 200,000 shares of
preferred stock as Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, each share having a par
value of $0.001 per share. The Series C Preferred Stock shall, upon liquidation,
winding-up or dissolution, rank: (a) senior to the Company's common stock
and any other class or series of Preferred Stock of the Company which by their
terms are junior to the Series C Preferred Stock (collectively, together with
any warrants, rights, calls or options exercisable for or convertible into such
Preferred Stock, the “Junior Shares”); (b) junior to all existing and
future indebtedness of the Company; and (c) junior to the Company's Series A and
Series B Preferred Stock. The Series C Preferred Stock is not entitled to
receive any dividends, has a liquidation value of $10.00 per share, redeemable
at the Company’s option at $10.00 per share, and is convertible at the option of
the holder into shares of common stock as follows: the number of such shares of
Common Stock to be received for each share of Series C Preferred Stock so
converted shall be determined by (A) dividing the number of shares of Series C
Preferred Stock to be converted by the weighted average closing price per share
of the Company's Common Stock for the ten (10) trading days immediately
preceding the date on which the Company agrees to issue shares of Series C
Preferred Stock to such holder multiplied by (B) the Series C liquidation
value.

NOTE L – 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, 2009, the Company incurred loss of $29,164,766.
Of these losses, $2,017,720 was incurred in the six months ending October 31,
2009 and $2,709,538 in the six months ending October 31, 2008. 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, 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.

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, 2009 as disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K 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 October 31, 2009 to the Three Months Ended October 31,
2008
For the
three months ended October 31, 2009 and 2008, we have generated limited sales
revenues, have incurred significant expenses, and have sustained significant
losses.
Revenues
Revenues
totaled $188,546 during the three months ended October 31, 2009 as compared to
$301,049 during the three months ended October 31, 2008. Current period revenue
was comprised of $46,241 in lease revenue, $115,893 in interest income from RISC
loans, and $26,412 in other income. Prior period revenue was comprised of
$78,643 in lease revenue, $193,664 in interest income from RISC loans, and
$28,742 in other income.
Costs
and Expenses
General
and administrative expenses were $840,826 during the three months ended October
31, 2009, compared to $977,427 during the three months ended October 31, 2008, a
decrease of $136,601 or 14%. Expenses incurred during the current three month
period consisted primarily of the following expenses: Compensation and related
costs, $332,749; Accounting, audit and professional fees, $230,280; Consulting
fees, $22,959; Rent, utilities and Telecomm expenses $112,374; Travel and
entertainment, $12,518;and stock based compensation, $69,425. Expenses incurred
during the comparative three month period in 2008 consisted primarily of the

and professional fees, $178,158; Consulting fees, $39,375; Rent, utilities and
Telecomm expenses $104,236; Travel and entertainment, $20,561;and stock based
compensation, $67,736.
We
incurred a non-cash charge of $71,624 during the three months ended October 31,
2009 related to options and shares of common stock and common stock options
issued for consulting fees and services. The comparable non-cash charges for the
three months ended October 31, 2008 was $67,480.
21
Net
Loss
We
incurred a net loss before preferred dividends of $1,003,402 for our three
months ended October 31, 2009 as compared to $997,973 for the corresponding
interim period in 2008, a $5,429 or 1% increase. The increase in our net
loss before preferred dividends for our three month interim period ended October
31, 2009 was attributable primarily to a $112,503 or 37.4% decrease in revenue
which was not offset by a 6.7% decrease in operating expenses and a14% decrease
in interest expense and financing costs..
We also
incurred non-cash preferred dividend expense of $19,671for our three month
period ended October 31, 2009, with an expense of $1,261 in the corresponding
interim period of 2008. The increase in preferred dividend expense was
attributable to the issuance of series B Preferred stock during the
quarter.
Our net
loss attributable to common stockholders decreased to $1,023,072 for our three
month period ended October 31, 2009 as compared to $999,234 for the
corresponding period in 2008. The $23,838 or 2.4% increase in net loss
attributable to common stockholders for our three month period ended October 31,
2009 was due primarily to the $18,409 or 1460% increase in preferred
dividends.
Comparison
of the Six Months Ended October 31, 2009 to the Six Months Ended October 31,
2008

2009 related to options and shares of common stock issued for consulting fees
and services as compared to $520,449 for the six months ended October 31, 2008.

cost. For the six months ended October 31, 2008, we incurred a non-cash charge
of $638,447 related to shares of common stock and warrants issued for financing
cost.
22
Net
Loss
We
incurred a net loss before preferred dividends of $1,997,858 for our six months
ended October 31, 2009 as compared to $2,707,016 for the corresponding interim
period in 2008. The $709,158 or 26.2% decrease in our net loss before preferred
dividends for our six month interim period ended October 31, 2009 was
attributable to a $290,619, 41.8%, decrease in revenue, a $908,556,
38.8% decrease in general and administrative expenses, a $129,329, 118.5%
increase in depreciation and amortization and a $220,549, 23.2% decrease in
interest expense and financing cost.
We also
incurred non-cash preferred dividend expense of $19,862 for our six month period
ended October 31, 2009 as compared with a non-cash expense of $2,522 in the
corresponding interim period of 2008. The increase in preferred dividend expense
was attributable to the issuance of Series B Preferred Stock.
Our net
loss attributable to common stockholders decreased to $2,017,720 for our six
month period ended October 31, 2009 as compared to $2,709,5382, for the
corresponding period in 2008. The $691,818 decrease in net loss attributable to
common stockholders for our six month period ended October 31, 2009 was due to
the decrease in net loss and the increase in preferred dividends.
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of
October 31, 2009, we had a deficit net worth of $2,132,770. We generated a
deficit in cash flow from operations of $1,183,097 or the six months ended
October 31, 2009. This deficit is primarily attributable to our net loss from
operations of $2,017,720, partially offset by depreciation and amortization of
$233,800, other non-cash charges totaling $574,751 and to changes in the
balances of current assets and liabilities. Accounts payable and accrued
expenses decreased by $165,043, other receivables and inventory increased
$62,305 and $47,995 respectively and portfolio assets declined by
$30,177.
Cash
flows provided by investing activities for the six months ended October 31, 2009
was $1,054,576, primarily due to the net proceeds of RISC contracts of
$959,505and payments from motorcycle and vehicle leases of $95,071.
We met
our cash requirements during the six month period through net proceeds of notes
and convertible notes of proceeds of notes payable $370,800, and the
net proceeds from the sale of common and preferred equity in the amount of
$765,000.We made net payments on senior secured debt financing of $945,631.
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. As of December 4, 2009, we signed a
letter of intent to purchase certain assets, including a portfolio of motorcycle
loans for a total value of approximately $15 million. To purchase these assets
we have agreed to assume approximately $9 million in bank debt and issue notes
and common stock valued at approximately $5 million. However, there can be no
assurances that this transaction will be consummated. At October 31,
2009 we had 13 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.
23
In
December 2008, we, along with our wholly-owned affiliate, Sparta Funding LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company, entered into a $25,000,000 committed,
extendable, secured credit facility with DZBank AG Deutsche
Zentral–Genossenschaftsbank, Frankfurt am Main, New York Branch pursuant to a
Revolving Credit Agreement (the “RCA”). We were required to satisfy
certain tangible net worth and committed capital thresholds as a condition of
accessing funds under the DZBank credit facility. On October 13, 2009, we
notified DZ Bank that we believed we had satisfied such conditions and requested
that we be allowed to start utilizing the credit facility. As we were
approaching the one year anniversary of the signing of the RCA we formally
requested that the RCA be extended for one year as provided for in the RCA.
Subsequently, without permitting us to commence utilizing the credit facility,
in December 2009, the Company was verbally notified by representatives of DZ
Bank that the Company’s request to extend the term of its Revolving Credit
Agreement (the “RCA”) for one year was denied due to DZ Bank’s German parent’s
concern over the United States general economic condition and, more
specifically, the weakness in the overall U.S. consumer market. Therefore, the
RCA will terminate on December 18, 2009.
On July
29, 2009, we entered into a Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement with Optimus
Capital Partners, LLC, pursuant to which Optimus, upon the terms and subject to
the conditions of the agreement, is committed to purchase up to $5,000,000 of
our Series B Preferred Stock. From time to time until July 28, 2010, we may
require Optimus to purchase shares of our Series B Preferred Stock, subject to
satisfaction of certain closing conditions. On August 12, 2009, we
closed the initial tranche sale to Optimus in the amount of $900,000, and on
November 6, 2009 we closed a second tranche sale to Optimus in the amount of
$670,000.
We
continue seeking additional financing, which may be in the form of subordinated
debt, senior debt or equity to support our operations. Other than described
above, we currently have no commitments for financing. There is no guarantee
that we will be successful in raising the funds required.
We
estimate that we will need approximately $1,500,000 in addition to our normal
operating cash flow to conduct operations during the next twelve
months. There can be no assurance that additional private or public
financing, including debt or equity financing, will be available as needed, or,
if available, on terms favorable to us. Any additional equity financing may be
dilutive to stockholders and such additional equity securities may have rights,
preferences or privileges that are senior to those of our existing common or
preferred stock. Furthermore, debt financing, if available, will require payment
of interest and may involve restrictive covenants that could impose limitations
on our operating flexibility. However, if we are not successful in generating
sufficient liquidity from operations or in raising sufficient capital resources,
on terms acceptable to us, this could 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 on a more limited
scale.
The
effect of inflation on our revenue and operating results was not significant.
Our operations are located in North America and there are no seasonal aspects
that would have a material effect on our financial condition or results of
operations.
GOING
CONCERN ISSUES
The
independent auditors report on our April 30, 2009 and 2008 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.
24
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.
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.
25
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 20% 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.
26
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) now codified as ASC
718, “Share-Based Payment” which is a revision of FASB Statement No.
123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”. ASC 718 supersedes
APB opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and amends FASB
Statement No. 95 now ASC 230, “Statement of Cash Flows”. Generally, the approach
in ASC 718 is similar to the approach described in SFAS 123. However, ASC 718
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 ASC 718 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, now ASC 720 “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 is included in cost of net revenues in the current period expenses.
During the six months ended October 31, 2009 and, 2008, the Company expensed
$3,507 and $4,457 respectively as website development costs.

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

Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of
the end of the period covered by this report are 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.

ITEM
1A. RISK FACTORS
We have a history of operating
losses.
Through our fiscal year ended April 30,
2009, we have generated cumulative sales revenues of $3,297,271, have incurred
significant expenses, and have sustained significant losses. Our net loss for
the year ended April 30, 2009 was $4,921,846 (after $1,794,610 in non-cash
charges). As of April 30, 2009, we had a deficit net worth of
$6,126,410.
Through our second fiscal quarter ended
October 31, 2009, we have generated cumulative sales revenues of $3,702,621,
have incurred significant expenses, and have sustained significant losses. Our
net loss for the six months ended October 31, 2009 was $1,997,858 (after
$655,896 in non-cash charges). As of October, 2009, we had a deficit net worth
of $2,132,770.
We have entered into credit lines with
institutional lenders, which have acquired preferences and rights senior to
those of our capital stock and placed restrictions on the payment of
dividends.
In July 2005, we entered into a secured
senior credit facility with New World Lease Funding for a revolving line of
credit. New World received a security interest in substantially all of our
assets with seniority over the rights of the holders of our preferred stock and
our common stock. Until the security interests are released, those assets will
not be available to us to secure future indebtedness. Presently, New World is
not extending new loans to us. As of October 31, 2009, we owed an aggregate of
$2,637,447 (which is secured by $3,033,328 of consumer Retail Installment Sales
Contracts and Leases and $223,666 of restricted cash) to New World. In granting
the credit line, New World also required that we meet certain financial criteria
in order to pay dividends on any of our preferred shares and common shares. We
may not be able to repay our outstanding indebtedness under the credit
line.
In December 2008, our wholly owned
special purpose subsidiary, Sparta Funding LLC, entered into an agreement for a
secured credit facility with DZ Bank (the “RCA”). The DZ Bank facility required, among
other things, that we have a minimum tangible net worth of $2,000,000 (plus (i)
50% of the aggregate amount of our consolidated net income since December 19,
2008 and (ii) 90% of the net proceeds (net capital less expenses and
distributions) of any new equity contributions we raise after December 19, 2008,
including any subordinated debt) before Sparta Funding can draw upon that credit
facility. In addition to the tangible net worth, we had to obtain
commitments for $3,000,000 of additional capital (in the form of subordinated
debt or other committed capital satisfactory to DZ Bank) to access the DZ Bank
facility. On October 13, 2009, we notified DZ Bank that we believed we
had satisfied such conditions and requested that we be allowed to start
utilizing the credit facility. As we were approaching the one year anniversary
of the signing of the RCA we formally requested that the RCA be extended for one
year as provided for in the RCA. Subsequently, without permitting us to commence
utilizing the credit facility, in December 2009, the Company was verbally
notified by representatives of DZ Bank that the Company’s request to extend the
term of its Revolving Credit Agreement RCA for one year was denied due to DZ
Bank’s German parent’s concern over the United States general economic condition
and, more specifically, the weakness in the overall U.S. consumer market.
Therefore, the RCA will terminate on December 18, 2009.
29
There can be no assurance that the
funding available under the Purchase Agreement with Optimus Capital Partners
will be sufficient to fund our working capital requirements. If Sparta is not able to secure senior debt
financing, we will not be
able to implement our business plan, which would have a material adverse effect
on our future viability.
Our business requires extensive amounts
of capital and we will need to obtain additional financing in the near
future.
In order to expand our business, we need
capital to support the portion of the value which is not financed by the senior
lender. We generally refer to this portion as the “equity requirement” and the
“sub-debt requirement”. Presently, we have very limited operating capital to
fund the equity requirements for new financing transactions or to execute our
business plan. In order to accomplish our business objectives, we expect that we
will require substantial additional financing within a relatively short period.
The lack of capital has made it difficult to offer the full line of financing
products contemplated by our business plan. Without a senior bank line of credit,
it will be extremely difficult to maintain and grow our business. We will have
to raise approximately $1.5 million over the next twelve months to support our
business. As our business
grows, we will need to seek additional financing to
fund growth. To the extent that our revenues do not provide sufficient cash flow
to cover such equity requirements and any reserves required under any additional
credit facility, we may have to obtain additional financing to fund such
requirements as may exist at that time. There can be no assurance that we will
have sufficient capital or be able to secure additional credit facilities when
needed. The failure to obtain additional funds, when required, on satisfactory
terms and conditions, would have a material and adverse effect on our business,
operating results and financial condition, and ultimately could result in the
cessation of our business.
We are required to have our common stock
traded on the OTC Bulletin Board or one of several other national markets for
trading equity securities as a condition of selling Optimus shares of our Series
B Preferred Stock. Therefore, if we are removed from the OTC Bulletin Board, we
may not be able to require Optimus to purchase shares of our Series B Preferred
Stock.
To the extent we raise additional
capital by issuing equity securities; our stockholders may experience
substantial dilution. Also, any new equity securities may have greater rights,
preferences or privileges than our existing common stock. A material shortage of
capital will require us to take drastic steps such as reducing our level of
operations, disposing of selected assets or seeking an acquisition partner. If
cash is insufficient, we will not be able to continue
operations.
Our auditor’s opinion expresses doubt
about our ability to continue as a “going concern”.
The independent auditor’s report on our
April 30, 2009 financial statements state that our historical losses raise
substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern. We cannot
assure you that we will be able to generate revenues or maintain any line of
business that might prove to be profitable. Our ability to continue as a going
concern is subject to our ability to generate a profit or obtain necessary
funding from outside sources, including obtaining additional funding from the
sale of our securities, increasing sales or obtaining credit lines or loans from
various financial institutions where possible. If we are unable to develop our
business, we may have to discontinue operations or cease to exist, which would
be detrimental to the value of our common stock. We can make no assurances that
our business operations will develop and provide us with significant cash to
continue operations.
30
A significant number of customers may
fail to perform under their loans or leases.
As a lender or lessor, one of the
largest risks we face is the possibility that a significant number of customers
will fail to pay their payments when due. If customers’ defaults cause losses in
excess of our allowance for losses, it could have an adverse effect on our
business, profitability and financial condition. If a borrower enters into
bankruptcy, we may have no means of recourse. We have established an evaluation
process designed to determine the adequacy of the allowance for losses. While
this evaluation process uses historical and other objective information, the
establishment of losses is dependent to a great extent on management’s
experience and judgment. We cannot assure you that our loss reserves will be
sufficient to absorb future losses or prevent a material adverse effect on our
business, profitability or financial condition.
A variety of factors and economic forces
may affect our operating results.
Our operating results may differ from
current forecasts and projections significantly in the future as a result of a
variety of factors, many of which are outside our control. These factors
include, without limitation, the receipt of revenues, which is difficult to
forecast accurately, the rate of default on our loans and leases, the amount and
timing of capital expenditures and other costs relating to the expansion of our
operations, the introduction of new products or services by us or our
competitors, borrowing costs, pricing changes in the industry, technical
difficulties, general economic conditions and economic conditions specific to
the motorcycle industry. The success of an investment in a consumer financing
based venture is dependent, at least, in part, on extrinsic economic forces,
including the supply of and demand for such services and the rate of default on
the consumer retail installment contracts and consumer leases. No assurance can
be given that we will be able to generate sufficient revenue to cover our cost
of doing business. Furthermore, our revenues and results of operations will be
subject to fluctuations based upon general economic conditions. Economic factors
like unemployment, interest rates, the availability of credit generally,
municipal government budget constraints affecting equipment purchases and
leasing, the rate of inflation, and consumer perceptions of the economy may
affect the rate of prepayment and defaults on customer leases and loans and the
ability to sell or dispose of the related vehicles for an amount at least equal
to their residual values which may have a material adverse effect on our
business.
A material reduction in the interest
rate spread could have a negative impact on our business and
profitability.
A significant portion of our net income
is expected to come from an interest rate spread, which is the difference
between the interest rates paid by us on interest-bearing liabilities, and the
interest rate we receive on interest-earning assets, such as loans and leases
extended to customers. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors that
are beyond our control, such as inflation, recession, global economic
disruptions and unemployment. There is no assurance that our current level of
interest rate spread will not decline in the future. Any material decline would
have a material adverse effect on our business and
profitability.
Failure to perfect a security interest
could harm our business.
An ownership interest or security
interest in a motor vehicle registered in most states may be perfected against
creditors and subsequent purchasers without notice for valuable consideration
only by complying with certain procedures specific to the particular state.
While we believe we have made all proper filings, we may not have a perfected
lien or ownership interest in all of the vehicles we have financed. We may not
have a validly perfected ownership interest and security interest, respectively,
in some vehicles during the period of the loan. As a result, our ownership or
security interest in these vehicles will not be perfected and our interest could
be inferior to interests of other creditors or purchasers who have taken the
steps described above. If such creditors or purchasers successfully did so, the
affected vehicles would not be available to generate their expected cash flow,
which would have a material adverse effect on our
business.
31
Risks associated with
leasing.
Our business is subject to the risks
generally associated with the ownership and leasing of vehicles. A lessee may
default in performance of its consumer lease obligations and we may be unable to
enforce our remedies under a lease. As a result, certain of these customers may
pose credit risks to us. Our inability to collect receivables due under a lease
and our inability to profitably sell or re-lease off-lease vehicles could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of
operations.
Adverse changes in used vehicle prices
may harm our business.
Significant increases in the inventory
of vehicles may depress the prices at which we can sell or lease our inventory
of used vehicles composed of off-lease and repossessed vehicles or may delay
sales or leases. Factors that may affect the level of used vehicles inventory
include consumer preferences, leasing programs offered by our competitors and
seasonality. In addition, average used powersports vehicle prices have
fluctuated in the past, and any softening in the used powersports vehicle market
could cause our recovery rates on repossessed vehicles to decline below current
levels. Lower recovery rates increase our credit losses and reduce the amount of
cash flows we receive.
Our business is dependent on
intellectual property rights and we may not be able to protect such rights
successfully.
Our intellectual property, including our
license agreements and other agreements, which establish our rights to
proprietary intellectual property developed in connection with our credit
decisioning and underwriting software system, iPLUS® , is of great value to our business
operations. Infringement or misappropriation of our intellectual property could
materially harm our business. We rely on a combination of trade secret,
copyright, trademark, and other proprietary rights laws to protect our rights to
this valuable intellectual property. Third parties may try to challenge our
intellectual property rights. In addition, our business is subject to the risk
of third parties infringing or circumventing our intellectual property rights.
We may need to resort to litigation in the future to protect our intellectual
property rights, which could result in substantial costs and diversion of
resources. Our failure to protect our intellectual property rights could have a
material adverse effect on our business and competitive
position.
We face significant competition in the
industry.
We compete with commercial banks,
savings and loans, industrial thrifts, credit unions and consumer finance
companies, including large consumer finance companies such as GE Capital. Many
of these competitors have well developed infrastructure systems in place as well
as greater financial and marketing resources than we have. Additionally,
competitors may be able to provide financing on terms significantly more
favorable than we can offer. Providers of motorcycle financing have
traditionally competed on the basis of interest rates charged, the quality of
credit accepted, the flexibility of terms offered and the quality of service
provided to dealers and customers. We seek to compete predominantly on the basis
of our high level of dealer service and strong dealer relationships, by offering
flexible terms, and by offering both lease and loan options to customers with a
broad range of credit profiles. Many of our competitors focus their efforts on
different segments of the credit quality spectrum. While a number of our
competitors have reduced their presence in the powersports financing industry
because of industry specific factors and the current situation in the global
credit markets, our business may be adversely affected if any of such
competitors in any of our markets chooses to intensify its competition in the
segment of the prime or sub-prime credit spectrum on which we focus or if
dealers become unwilling to forward to us applications of prospective customers.
To the extent that we are not able to compete effectively within our credit
spectrum and to the extent that the intensity of competition causes the interest
rates we charge to be lower, our results of operations can be adversely
affected.
32
Our business is subject to various
government regulations.
We are subject to numerous federal and
state consumer protection laws and regulations and licensing requirements,
which, among other things, may affect: (i) the interest rates, fees and other
charges we impose; (ii) the terms and conditions of the contracts; (iii) the
disclosures we must make to obligors; and (iv) the collection, repossession and
foreclosure rights with respect to delinquent obligors. The extent and nature of
such laws and regulations vary from state to state. Federal bankruptcy laws
limit our ability to collect defaulted receivables from obligors who seek
bankruptcy protection. Prospective changes in any such laws or the enactment of
new laws may have an adverse effect on our business or the results of
operations. Compliance with existing laws and regulations has not had a material
adverse affect on our operations to date. We will need to periodically review
our office practices in an effort to ensure such compliance, the failure of
which may have a material adverse effect on our operations and our ability to
conduct business activities.
We are controlled by current officers,
directors and principal stockholders.
Our directors, executive officers and
principal stockholders beneficially own approximately 21% of our common stock as
of November 18, 2009. Accordingly, these persons and their respective affiliates
have the ability to exert substantial control over the election of our Board of
Directors and the outcome of issues submitted to our stockholders, including
approval of mergers, sales of assets or other corporate transactions. In
addition, such control could preclude any unsolicited acquisition of our company
and could affect the price of our common stock and limit our ability to sell
shares of our Series B Preferred Stock to Optimus Capital Partners,
LLC.
We are subject to various
securities-related requirements as a reporting company.
We may need to improve our reporting and
internal controls and procedures. We have in the past submitted reports with the
SEC after the original due date of such reports. If we fail to remain current on
our reporting requirements, our common stock could be removed from quotation
from the OTC Bulletin Board, which would limit the ability to sell our common
stock.
We are dependent on our management and
the loss of any officer could hinder our implementation of our business
plan.
We are heavily dependent upon
management, the loss of any one of whom could have a material adverse effect on
our ability to implement our business plan. While we have entered into
employment agreements with certain executive officers, including our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer, employment agreements could be
terminated for a variety of reasons. We do not presently carry key man insurance
on the life of any employee. If, for some reason, the services of management, or
of any member of management, were no longer available to us, our operations and
proposed businesses and endeavors may be materially adversely affected. Any
failure of management to implement and manage our business strategy may have a
material adverse affect on us. There can be no assurance that our operating and
financial control systems will be adequate to support our future operations.
Furthermore, the inability to continue to upgrade the operating and financial
control systems, the inability to recruit and hire necessary personnel or the
emergence of unexpected expansion difficulties could have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition or results of
operations.

ITEM
2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF
PROCEEDS.
Each of
the issuance and sale of securities described below was deemed to be exempt from
registration under the Securities Act in reliance on Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering. No
advertising or general solicitation was employed in offering the securities.
Each purchaser is a sophisticated investor (as described in Rule 506(b) (2) (ii)
of Regulation D) or an accredited investor (as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation
D), and each received adequate information about the Company or had access to
such information, through employment or other relationships, to such
information.
On July
29, 2009, the Company entered into a Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement with
Optimus Capital Partners, LLC pursuant to which Optimus is committed to purchase
up to $5,000,000 of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock for a one year
period. On November 4, 2009, Optimus exercised a warrant for
13,500,000 shares of common stock that was issued in connection with the first
tranche closing under the purchase agreement, in consideration for a secured
recourse note in the amount of $1,215,000. In a second tranche
closing held on November 6, 2009, the Company sold to Optimus 67 shares of
Series B Preferred stock for gross proceeds of $670,000. In
connection with the second tranche closing, the Company issued to Optimus a
five-year warrant to purchase up to 18,066,176 shares of common stock at $0.05
per share. The Company also purchased from Optimus 2,000,000 shares
of our common stock at a price of $0.05 or $100,000.
During
the three months ended October 31, 2009, the Company sold to an accredited
investor a four month unsecured note and warrants in the aggregate amount of
$5,000. The warrants are for a term of three years and entitle the
holder to purchase a total of 100,705 shares of our common stock at $0.15 per
share. The note bore 8% simple interest, payable in cash or shares, at the
Company’s option, with principal and accrued interest payable at maturity. At
the Company’s option, the notes were convertible into shares of common stock at
$0.0496 per share. The note was to mature on December 28,
2009. The note plus accrued interest thereon was converted into
100,815 shares of common stock in September 2009.
