NOTES
TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JANUARY

(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 January
31, 2010 and for the three and nine month periods ended January 31, 2010 and
2009 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 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 nine months ended January 31, 2010 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.

NOTE
A – SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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.
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.

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 740also 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
nine months ended January 31, 2010.
Fair Value
Measurements
The
Company adopted ASC 820,” Fair
Value Measurements”. ASC 820 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
January31, 2010 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, 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.

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 nine months ended January 31, 2010 and the year
ended April 30, 2009, the Company
incurred $6,986 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
January 31, 2010 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 started 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
lender. 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 lender.

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 September 30, 2009. The Company is in
discussions with the note holders to extend the due dates of the
notes. During the year ended April 30, 2009, $99,000 of these
loans was repaid. The holders of the remaining notes have agreed to
contingently convert those notes plus accrued interest into shares of the

the average of the three lowest closing prices of the Company’s common stock for
the ten trading days immediately preceding the day the holder notices the
Company of its intent to convert. The conversion price is subject to
certain anti dilutive previsions. In the event the note is not paid

filed with the SEC.
“Forward-Looking”

RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Comparison
of the Three Months Ended January 31, 2010 to the Three Months Ended January 31,
2009
For the
three months ended January 31, 2010 and 2009, we have generated limited sales
revenues, have incurred significant expenses, and have sustained significant
losses.
Revenues
Revenues
totaled $161,086 during the three months ended January 31, 2010 as compared to
$278,268 during the three months ended January 31, 2009. Current
period revenue was comprised of $36,017 in lease revenue, $100,511 in interest
income from RISC loans, and $24,557 in other income. Prior period
revenue was comprised of $70,235 in lease revenue, $184,405 in interest income
from RISC loans, and $23,628 in other income.
Costs
and Expenses
General
and administrative expenses were $681,129 during the three months ended January
31, 2010, compared to $886,927 during the three months ended January 31, 2009, a
decrease of $205,798 or 23.2%. Expenses incurred during the current
three month period consisted primarily of the following expenses: Compensation
and related costs, $336,995; Accounting, audit and professional fees, $48,338;
Consulting fees, $53,497; Rent, utilities and Telecomm expenses $113,411; Travel

Net
Loss
We
incurred a net loss before preferred dividends of $857,306 for our three months
ended January 31, 2010 as compared to $968,617 for the corresponding interim
period in 2009, an $111,311 or 11.5% decrease. The decrease in our
net loss before preferred dividends for our three month interim period ended
January 31, 2010 was attributable primarily to a $117,182 or 42.1% decrease in
revenue which was partially offset by a 14.8% decrease in operating expenses and
a 28.8% decrease in interest expense and financing costs.
21
We also
incurred non-cash preferred dividend expense of $22,876 for our three month
period ended January 31, 2010, with a dividend expense of $1,261 in the
corresponding interim period of 2009. 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 $880,182 for our three
month period ended January 31, 2010 as compared to $969,878 for the
corresponding period in 2009. The $89,696 or 9.2% decrease in net
loss attributable to common stockholders for our three month period ended
January 31, 2010 was due primarily to the $21,615 or 1,714% increase in
preferred dividends, the 14.8% decrease in operating expenses, and the 28.8%
decrease in interest expense and financing costs.

of the Nine Months Ended January 31, 2010 to the Nine Months Ended January 31,

Net
Loss
We
incurred a net loss before preferred dividends of $2,855,164 for our nine months
ended January 31, 2010 as compared to $3,675,633 for the corresponding interim
period in 2009. The $820,470 or 22.3% decrease in our net loss before

incurred non-cash preferred dividend expense of $42,738 for our nine month
period ended January 31, 2010 as compared with a non-cash expense of $3,784 in
the corresponding interim period of 2009. The increase in preferred
dividend expense was attributable to the issuance of Series B Preferred
Stock.
22
Our net
loss attributable to common stockholders decreased to $2,897,901for our nine
month period ended January 31, 2010 as compared to $3,679,417, for the
corresponding period in 2009. The $781,516 decrease in net loss
attributable to common stockholders for our nine month period ended January 31,
2010 was due to the decrease in net loss and the increase in preferred
dividends.
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of
January 31, 2010, we had net worth of $1,281,387. We generated a
deficit in cash flow from operations of $2,105,958 for the nine months ended
January 31, 2010. This deficit is primarily attributable to our net
loss from operations of $2,897,901, partially offset by depreciation and
amortization of $107,356, other non-cash charges totaling $573,869 and to
changes in the balances of current assets and liabilities. Accounts
payable and accrued expenses decreased by $226,043 receivables and inventory
increased $142,319 and $59,339, respectively, and portfolio assets declined by
$34,618.
Cash
flows provided by investing activities for the nine months ended January 31,
2010 was $1,508,290 primarily due to the net proceeds of RISC contracts of
$1,285,020 and payments from motorcycle and vehicle leases of
$223,270.
We met
our cash requirements during the nine month period through net proceeds of
convertible notes of $464, 800, proceeds of notes payable to related parties of
$14,000, and the net proceeds from the sale of common and preferred equity in
the amount of $1,440,000. We made net payments on senior secured debt
financing of $1,277,264. 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. As of March 17, 2010 we and the seller of the assets have
commenced re negotiation of the terms of the purchase. However, there
can be no assurances that this transaction will be consummated. At
January 31, 2010 we had 11 full time employees. If we are able to
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 obtaining sources of
financing originating loans and leases and generating revenues there
from. 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.
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 terminated on December 18,
2009.
23
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
believe that the proceeds from the sale of preferred stock to Optimus, as
described above, when combined with the conversion of notes outstanding at
October 31, 2009 as described above, had satisfied the minimum thresholds to
utilize the DZBank credit facility.
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.
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. Additionally, we are negotiating the
potential sale of securities with investment banking companies.
24
INFLATION
The
impact of inflation on the costs of the Company, and the ability to pass on cost
increases to its customers over time is dependent upon market
conditions. The Company is not aware of any inflationary pressures
that have had any significant impact on the Company’s operations over the past
quarter, and the Company does not anticipate that inflationary factors will have
a significant impact on future operations.
OFF-BALANCE
SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
The
Company does not maintain off-balance sheet arrangements nor does it participate
in non-exchange traded contracts requiring fair value accounting
treatment.
TRENDS,
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
We have
sought to identify what we believe to be the most significant risks to our
business, but we cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks
may be realized nor can we guarantee that we have identified all possible risks
that might arise.
Our
annual operating results may fluctuate significantly in the future as a result
of a variety of factors, most of which are outside our control, including: the
demand for our products and services; seasonal trends in purchasing, the amount
and timing of capital expenditures and other costs relating to the commercial
and consumer financing; price competition or pricing changes in the market;
technical difficulties or system downtime; general economic conditions and
economic conditions specific to the consumer financing sector.
Our
annual results may also be significantly impacted by the impact of the
accounting treatment of acquisitions, financing transactions or other
matters. Particularly at our early stage of development, such
accounting treatment can have a material impact on the results for any
quarter. Due to the foregoing factors, among others, it is likely
that our operating results may fall below our expectations or those of investors
in some future quarter.
Our
future performance and success is dependent upon the efforts and abilities of
our management. To a very significant degree, we are dependent upon
the continued services of Anthony L. Havens, our President and Chief Executive
Officer and member of our Board of Directors. If we lost the services
of either Mr. Havens, or other key employees before we could get qualified
replacements, that loss could materially adversely affect our
business. We do not maintain key man life insurance on any of our
management.
Our
officers and directors are required to exercise good faith and high integrity in
our management affairs. Our bylaws provide, however, that our
directors shall have no liability to us or to our shareholders for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director except with respect to (1) a
breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders,
(2) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct
or a knowing violation of law, (3) liability which may be specifically defined
by law or (4) a transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit.
The
present officers and directors own approximately 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.
25
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.
26
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 nine months ended
January 31, 2010 and, 2009, the Company expensed $4,459 and $5,449 respectively
as website development costs.

4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Our
management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our
Principal Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure
controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this
report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and
Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report 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 third fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2010, we have generated cumulative
sales revenues of $3,863,707, have incurred significant expenses, and have
sustained significant losses. Our net loss for the nine months ended
January 31, 2010 was $2,855,164 (after $583,649 in non-cash
charges). As of January 31, 2010, we had a net worth of
$1,281,387.
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 January 31, 2010, we owed an aggregate of
$2,417,574(which is secured by $2,560,125 of consumer Retail Installment Sales
Contracts and Leases and $199,573 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 requires, 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 for the purchase of
consumer retail installment sales contracts from our authorized and private
label dealers and the purchase of vehicles for lease to customers of our
authorized and private label dealers. In addition to the tangible net
worth, we must 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. We are engaged in discussions with
potential investors regarding such commitments, but as of July 31, 2009, with
the exception of the agreement with Optimus Capital Partners, no definitive
agreements have been reached for such commitments, nor have we reached any
agreement on potential terms of any such commitments. 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. The RCA terminated 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. This may
also negatively affect our ability to access funds under the DZ Bank credit
facility.
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 20% of our common stock as of January 31,
2010. 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, Principal Financial
Officer and Chief Operating Officer, employment agreements could be
terminated for a variety of reasons. The employment agreements with
our Principal Financial Officer and our Chief Operating Officer have
expired and are being renegotiated.
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.

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.
In
November 2009, the Company issued 500,000 shares of common stock to a consultant
pursuant to a modification of a January 1, 2009 consulting
agreement. Additionally, the consultant agreed to surrender 250,000
warrants which had been issued to the consultant in January 2009, and 250,000
warrants which were due in April 2009 but had not been issued. All
other terms of the original agreement remain unchanged. In February
2010, the Company and the consultant entered into a further modification of the
consulting terms, extending the term until April 30, 2010 and agreeing to issue
to the consultant 2,000,000 shares in full satisfaction of the Company’s
obligations under the consulting arrangement.
During
the three months ended January 31, 2010, the Company sold to one accredited
investor $94,000 in 8%, four month notes, convertible at the Company’s option
into shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.02 per share.
In
February 2010, the Company sold to one accredited investor $100,000 principal
amount of 8% four month notes which are convertible at the Company’s option into
shares of common stock at $0.021 per share.
In
February 2010, the Company sold to one accredited investor a $50,000, nine
month, 8% note convertible at the holder’s option into such number of shares of
the Company’s common stock as determined by a forty-four percent discount from
the average of the three lowest closing prices of the Company’s common stock for
the ten trading days immediately preceding the day the holder notices the
Company of its intent to convert. The conversion price is subject to
certain anti dilutive previsions. In the event the note is not paid
when due, the interest rate is increased to twenty-two percent until the note is
paid in full.
