NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OCTOBER 31, 2011
(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, 2011 and for the three and six month periods ended October 31, 2011 and 2010 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. 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, 2011 as disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-K for that year as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Company is in the business as an originator and indirect lender for retail installment loan and lease financing for the purchase or lease of new and used motorcycles (specifically 550cc and higher) and utility-oriented 4-stroke all terrain vehicles (ATVs).  The Company’s subsidiary, Specialty Reports, Inc. (“SRI”) is an e-commerce business which provides vehicle (motorcycle, RV and automobile) history reports over the internet to consumers and dealers under the trade names: Cyclechex Motorcycle History Report, RVChex Recreation Vehicle History Report, and CarVin Report Vehicle History Report. SRI, also, markets a mobile application to vehicle dealers under the trade name Specialty Mobile App.

The results of operations for the three and six months ended October 31, 2011, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or the full year ending April 30, 2012.
 
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.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OCTOBER 31, 2011
(UNAUDITED)
 

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.

The sales of the vehicle history reports and dealer mobile applications by the Company’s subsidiary, SRI, are recognized on a cash basis.

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, 2011 or the three months or six months ended October 31, 2011.

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 October 31, 2011 and April 30, 2011, 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:

Leasehold improvements
3 years
Furniture and fixtures
7 years
Website costs
3 years
Computer Equipment
5 years
 
Advertising Costs

The Company follows a policy of charging the costs of advertising to expenses incurred. During the six months ended October 31, 2011 and the year ended April 30, 2011, the Company incurred advertising costs of $9,088 and $3,283, 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.

Per share basic and diluted net loss attributable to common stockholders amounted to $0.00 and $0.00 for the three months ended October 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $0.00 and $0.00 for the six months ended October 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. At October 31, 2011 and 2010, 193,182,260 and 163,132,698 potential shares, respectively, were excluded from the shares used to calculate diluted earnings per share as their inclusion would reduce net loss per share.

Liquidity

As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred a net loss attributed to common stockholders of $1,039,579 and $3,729,401 during the six months ended October 31, 2011 and the year ended April 30, 2011, respectively. The Company’s liabilities exceed its assets by $3,397,352 as of October 31, 2011.

We consider our portfolio of retail (RISC) loan receivables to be homogenous and consist of a single segment and class.  Consequently we analyze credit performance primarily in the aggregate rather than stratification by any particular credit quality indicator.  

We consider an RISC contract delinquent when an obligor fails to make a contractually due payment by the following due date, which date may have been extended within limits specified in the servicing agreements. The period of delinquency is based on the number of days payments are contractually past due. Automobile contracts less than 31 days delinquent are not included.  The following table summarizes the delinquency status of finance receivables as of October 31, 2011 and April 30, 2011:

NOTE F – NOTES PAYABLE TO SENIOR LENDER
 
(a) 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, 2011 is 10.48%.
 
(b) 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, $10,000 in April 2009 and agreed to pay the remaining $10,000 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 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 note holder.
 
  The Company is obligated to pay any remainder of the Senior Secured Note by November 1, 2009 and has granted the note holder a security interest in the Purchased Portfolio.  The due date of the note has been extended to May 1, 2011. Once the Company has paid $150,000 to the lender from Purchased Portfolio proceeds, the Company is obligated to pay fifty percent of all net proceeds from Purchased Portfolio lease payments and motorcycle asset sales until the Company and the lender mutually agree the Purchase Portfolio has no remaining proceeds.
 
  As of October 31, 2011, the Company carries the Purchased Portfolio at $8,650 representing the balance of its $100,000 cost, which is less than its estimated market value, less collections through the period.  On January 31, 2011, this note holder converted $50,000 principal amount of the note into 4,545,455 shares of the Company’s common stock which shares were classified as to be issued at October 31, 2011.  The Company carries the liability for the Senior Secured Note at $27,927, which is net of note reductions.
 
(c) From July through October 2011, the Company borrowed $178,720, net of repayments, from an investor and collateralized the loan with certain unpledged leases.
 
At October 31, 2011, the senior bank notes payable mature as follows:

(a) As of October 31, 2011, the Company had outstanding convertible unsecured notes with an aggregate principal amount of $1,075,590, which accrue interest at rates ranging from 8% to 25% per annum.  The majority of the notes are convertible into shares of common stock, at the Company’s option, ranging from $0.00312 to $0.021 per share.
 
During the six months ended October 31, 2011, the Company sold to an accredited investor two nine month notes in the amounts of $45,000 and $35,000 each. The notes are convertible at the note holder’s option at a variable conversion price such that during the period during which the notes are outstanding, with one note convertible at 58% multiplied by the average of the three lowest closing bid prices for the common stock during the ten trading day period ending one trading day prior to the submission date of the conversion notice by the note holder to the Company (the “Discount Conversion Rate”), provided, however, that, the conversion rate is subject to adjustment upon a merger, consolidation or other similar event, and, if the Company issues or sells any shares of common stock for no consideration or for a consideration per share that is less than the conversion price of the note, or issues or grants convertible securities (including warrants, rights, and options but not including employee stock option plans), with an conversion price that is less than the conversion price of the note, then the conversion price of the note will immediately be reduced to the consideration per share received in such stock issuance or the conversion price of the convertible securities issuance. The Company has reserved up to 111,937,586 shares of its common stock for conversion of the notes pursuant to the terms of the notes.  In the event the note is not paid when due, the interest rate is increased to twenty-two percent until the notes are paid in full. Also, during the six months ended October 31, 2011, this investor converted $92,000 principal amount of other notes outstanding and accrued interest there on into 23,569,085 shares of the Company’s common stock.

During the six months ended October 31, 2011, the Company sold to an accredited investor eight, one-year, unsecured notes in the aggregate amount of $335,745.  The notes bare 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 are convertible into shares of common stock at prices ranging from $0.00312 to $0.0072 per share.
 
In September, 2011, the Company sold to an accredited investor a $30,000, 15%, three year note which requires the Company to make thirty-six monthly payments of $1,040 each. The note holder may convert the outstanding balance of the note at any time at $0.00825 per share.

During the six months ended October 31, 2011, a three note holders converted $180,175 principal amount of notes and accrued interest there on into 38,493,129 shares of the Company’s common stock.

(b) During the six months ended October 31, 2011, the Company made a total of $28,000 in payments on two notes pursuant to their terms.
 
During the nine months ended July 31, 2010, the Company sold to seven accredited investors a total of $95,000 two month loans bearing interest at 12% and issued a total of 850,000 shares of common stock valued at $22,500 as inducements for the loans.  All of the loans have been extended to September 30, 2011. The Company has issued an additional 1,600,000 shares of common stock for such extensions. In December 2010, two of the note holders converted a total of $35,000 principal amount of notes into 7 shares of the Series B preferred stock of the Company’s subsidiary, Specialty Reports, Inc., and converted the interest on the notes into 104,450 shares of the Company’s common stock.
 
During the six months ended October 31, 2011, another note holder converted a $10,000 note plus accrued interest thereon into 2.49 shares of Series A Preferred stock of our subsidiary Specialty Reports, Inc.
 
In August 2011, the Company sold to an accredited investor a one month, 10%, note in the amount of $25,000. As an inducement the Company issued 800,000 shares of its restricted common stock to the note holder valued at $6,160. Pursuant to the terms of the note, for each month, or portion thereof, that the note remains un paid, the Company is required to issue as a penalty 800,000 shares of its restricted common stock. As of October 31, 2011 the note was outstanding.
 
 
(c) 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 to “additional equity” equal to 60% of the “Equity Kicker” shares. In the event of default on repayment, the notes provided for a 50% increase in the “Equity Kicker” and the “Additional Equity” for each month 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, 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 and during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2010, $15,000 of these notes and accrued interest thereon was converted into approximately 463,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The holders of the remaining notes agreed to contingently convert those notes plus accrued interest into approximately 8,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock upon the Company’s ability to meet all conditions precedent to begin drawing down on a senior credit facility.  In July 2010, the Company sold to an accredited investor a one week 10%, $25,000 note and issued 25,000 shares of common stock as inducement for the note.  The note is convertible at the holder’s option into shares of common stock at $0.005 per share. In the event the note is not paid when due, the interest rate is increased to 20% until paid in full and the Company is required to issue 50,000 shares of common stock per month until the note is paid in full. During the quarter ending July 31, 2010, one $20,000 note (which was classified as Notes Payable (see b above) has been reclassified as a Bridge Loan) was due August 8, 2009 and is accruing interest at a default rate of 15% and is also accruing penalty shares at the rate of 20,000 shares per month. $118,750 of these notes have been extended to December 31, 2011 and the Company is in negotiations with the other note holders to extend their notes.
  
 
(d) During the year ended April 30, 2009, the Company sold a secured note in the amount of $220,000. The note bore 12.46% simple interest. The note matured on January 29, 2010 and has been extended to December 31, 2011 and is secured by a second lien on a pool of motorcycles. In July 2010, the note holder agreed to convert the note and all accrued interest thereon into approximately 12,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock upon the Company demonstrating that it can meet all conditions precedent to begin drawing down on a senior credit facility.  As of October 31, 2011, the balance outstanding was $220,000 since the Company has not met the conditions to precedent to convert the note to common shares.

NOTE K – FAIR VALUE MEASURMENTS

The Company follows the guidance established pursuant to ASC 820 which established a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value as the amount that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes the following three levels of inputs that may be used:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets and liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.

Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets but corroborated by market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs when there is little or no market data available, thereby requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

The table below summarizes the fair values of our financial liabilities as of October 31, 2011:

NOTE M – GOING CONCERN MATTERS

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying financial statements during the period October 1, 2001 (date of inception) through October 31, 2011, the Company incurred loss of $36,154,380. Of these losses, $1,039,580 was incurred in the six months ending October 31, 2011 and $1,845,636 in the six months ending October 31, 2010. These factors among others may indicate that the Company will be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

The Company’s existence is dependent upon management’s ability to develop profitable operations. Management is devoting substantially all of its efforts to developing its business and raising capital and there can be no assurance that the Company’s efforts will be successful. However, there can be no assurance can be given that management’s actions will result in profitable operations or the resolution of its liquidity problems. The accompanying statements do not include any adjustments that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

In order to improve the Company’s liquidity, the Company’s management is actively pursuing additional equity financing through discussions with investment bankers and private investors and the U.S. 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, 2011 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, 2011 to the Three Months Ended October 31, 2010

For the three months ended October 31, 2011 and 2010, we have generated limited sales revenues, have incurred significant expenses, and have sustained significant losses.

Revenues

Revenues totaled $149,338 during the three months ended October 31, 2011 as compared to $164,835 during the three months ended October 31, 2010. Current period revenue was comprised of $33,951 in lease revenue, $31,031 in interest income from RISC loans, and $84,356 in other revenues which primarily relates to SRI. Prior period revenue was comprised of $28,257 in lease revenue, $63,770 in interest income from RISC loans, and $72,809 in other revenues.

Costs and Expenses

General and administrative expenses were $795,062 during the three months ended October 31, 2011, compared to $655,087 during the three months ended October 31, 2010, an increase of $139,975 or 21.4%. Expenses incurred during the current three month period consisted primarily of the following expenses: Compensation and related costs, $381,571 Accounting, audit and professional fees, $52,148; Consulting fees, $54,415; Rent, utilities and telecommunication expenses $117,924; Travel and entertainment, $4,481;  stock and option based compensation, $57,563; advertising, 23,184; and taxes, 28,712. Expenses incurred during the comparative three month period in 2010 consisted primarily of the following expenses: Compensation and related costs, $275,898; Accounting, audit and professional fees, $61,145; Consulting fees, $45,274; Rent, utilities and telecommunication expenses $98,970; Travel and entertainment, $7,898; stock and option based compensation, $74,658: advertising, $9,203 and taxes, $23,297.

Net Loss

We incurred a net loss before preferred dividends of $644,639 for our three months ended October 31, 2011 as compared to $444,342 for the corresponding interim period in 2010, a $200,297 or 45.1% increase. The increase in our net loss before preferred dividends for our three month interim period ended October 31, 2011 was attributable primarily to a $90,432 or 36.4% reduction in derivative liability.  Additionally there was a $47,641 or 25.88% decrease in interest expense and financing costs partially off-setting a $139,975 or 21.4% increase in general and administrative costs.  Our net loss attributable to common stockholders increased to $674,109 for our three month period ended October 31, 2011 as compared to $502,852 for the corresponding period in 2010. The $171,257 or 34.0% increase in net loss attributable to common stockholders for our three month period ended October 31, 2011 was due primarily to the factors described above partially off-set by a $45,545 or 81.6% decrease in net loss attributed to the net loss of non-controlling interest and a $74,585 or 65.2% decrease in preferred dividends. The decrease in preferred dividend expense was attributable to the Series B Preferred Stock dividend adjustment, in the quarter ending July 31, 2010, for under accrual of the dividend in the prior year.
 

Comparison of the Six Months Ended October 31, 2011 to the Six Months Ended October 31, 2010

For the six months ended October 31, 2011 and 2010, we have generated limited sales revenues, have incurred significant expenses, and have sustained significant losses.

Revenues

Revenues totaled $299,337 during the six months ended October 31, 2011 as compared to $296,982 during the six months ended October 31, 2010. Current period revenue was comprised of $62,310 in lease revenue, $66,072 in interest income from RISC Loans, and $170,954 in other revenues which primarily relates to SRI. Prior period revenue was comprised of $58,009 in lease revenue, $139,487 in interest income from RISC Loans, and $99,486 in other revenues. .

Costs and Expenses

General and administrative expenses were $1,370,493 during the six months ended October 31, 2011, compared to $1,373,755 during the six months ended October 31, 2010, a decrease of $3.262, or 0.2%. Expenses incurred during the current six month period consisted primarily of the following expenses: Compensation and related costs, $668,193; Accounting, audit and professional fees, $113,709; Consulting fees, $93,341; Rent, utilities and telecommunication expenses $183,498; Travel and entertainment, $8,148;  stock and option based compensation, $117,777, advertising and marketing, $53,026, and taxes, $29,704. Expenses incurred during the comparative six month period in 2010 consisted primarily of the following expenses:  Compensation and related costs, $573,396; Accounting, audit and professional fees, $150,657; Consulting fees, $77,459; Rent, utilities and telecommunication expenses $187,239; Travel and entertainment, $22,033; stock and option based compensation, $220,665; advertising and marketing, $16,134, and taxes, $23,479. For the six months ended October 31, 2011, we incurred a non-cash charge of $78,643 related to shares of common stock and warrants issued for financing cost. For the six months ended October 31, 2010, we incurred a non-cash charge of $105,777 which related to shares of common stock and warrants issued for financing cost. For the six months ended October 31, 2011, we incurred a non-cash credit of $415,007 related to the change in fair value of derivative liabilities. For the six months ended October 31, 2010, we incurred a non-cash charge of $361,105 related to the change in fair value of derivative liabilities.

Net Loss

We incurred a net loss before preferred dividends of $978,761 for our six months ended October 31, 2011 as compared to $1,746,137 for the corresponding interim period in 2010. The $777,377 or 44.3% decrease in our net loss before preferred dividends for our six month interim period ended October 31, 2011 was attributable primarily to the $776,112, 215%, change in the fair value of derivative liabilities from a $361,105 charge in the prior six months to a $$415,007 credit in the current six month period. This change was primarily due to the decline in the Company’s common stock price. We also incurred non-cash preferred dividend expense of $79,527 for our six month period ended October 31, 2011 as compared with a non-cash expense of $154,107 in the corresponding interim period of 2010. The decrease in preferred dividend expense was attributable to the Series B Preferred Stock dividend adjustment, in the quarter ending July 31, 2010, for under accrual of the dividend in the prior year. Additionally, the net loss attributed to non controlling interest declined $45,899, 71% to $18,709 in the current six months from $64,608 in the six months ended October 31, 2010.
 
Our net loss attributable to common stockholders decreased to $1,039,580 for our six month period ended October 31, 2011 as compared to $1,845,638 for the corresponding period in 2010. The $806,059 decrease in net loss attributable to common stockholders for our six month period ended October 31, 2011 was due to the decrease in net loss and the decrease in preferred dividends.
 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of October 31, 2011, we had a deficit net worth of $3,397,352. We generated a deficit in cash flow from operations of $725,940 for the six months ended October 31, 2011. This deficit is primarily attributable to our net loss from operations of $1,039,580 which included $434,112 in non-cash credits,  partially offset by depreciation of $34,468 and amortization of  $48,849, other non-cash charges totaling $328,808 and to changes in the balances of current assets and liabilities. Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased by $338,587, other receivables and inventory increased $28,623 and portfolio assets declined by $15,895.

Cash flows provided by investing activities for the six months ended October 31, 2011 was $286,903, due to the net proceeds of RISC contracts of $349,322 less net purchases of motorcycles under operating leases of $56,377and $6,082 in equipment purchases.

We met our cash requirements during the six month period through net proceeds of notes and convertible notes  payable of $470,745, the net proceeds from the sale of common and preferred equity in the amount of $103,854, and the net proceeds from the sale of common and preferred equity of a subsidiary in the amount of $114,454. We made net payments on senior secured debt financing of $218,466 and payments on notes payable in the amount of $29,918. Additionally, we have received limited revenues from leasing and financing motorcycles and other vehicles, fees from our municipal lease program, and from our Preferred Provider Program.

We do not anticipate incurring significant research and development expenditures, and we do not anticipate the sale or acquisition of any significant property, plant or equipment, during the next twelve months.  At October 31, 2011 we had 9 full time employees. If we fully implement our business plan, we anticipate our employment base may increase by approximately 100% during the next twelve months. As we continue to expand, we will incur additional cost for personnel. This projected increase in personnel is dependent upon our generating revenues and obtaining sources of financing. There is no guarantee that we will be successful in raising the funds required or generating revenues sufficient to fund the projected increase in the number of employees.

While we have raised capital to meet our working capital and financing needs in the past, additional financing is required in order to meet our current and projected cash flow deficits from operations and development.

We continue seeking additional financing, which may be in the form of senior debt, subordinated debt or equity. We currently have no commitments for financing. There is no guarantee that we will be successful in raising the funds required to support our operations.

We estimate that we will need approximately $2,000,000 in addition to our normal operating cash flow to conduct operations during the next twelve months.  September 2010, we entered into a two year $5 million master lease funding agreement. Under this agreement we originate and underwrite motorcycle leases pursuant to the credit criteria of the lender and sell the leases to the lender for a fee. This type of agreement is known as a pass-through. The company is liable for ten percent of the lender’s losses on the leases sold to it up to $500,000. There can be no assurances that we can underwrite a sufficient number of leases to fully utilize the initial amount of the agreement, and if we do there can be no assurance that this lender will increase the amount of the agreement. To date, we have not sold any leases to this lender as the yields required by the lender are not competitive in the current market for powersports financing. We are in discussion with this lender to modify their requirements.  Based on the above, on capital received from equity financing to date, we believe that we have a reasonable chance to raise sufficient capital resources to meet projected cash flow deficits through the next twelve months.  However, 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, 2011 and 2010 financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report states that the Company’s historical losses and the lack of revenues raise substantial doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, due to the losses incurred and its lack of significant operations. If we are unable to develop our business, we have to discontinue operations or cease to exist, which would be detrimental to the value of the Company’s common stock. We can make no assurances that our business operations will develop and provide us with significant cash to continue operations.

In order to improve the Company’s liquidity, the Company’s management is actively pursuing additional financing through discussions with investment bankers, financial institutions and private investors. There can be no assurance the Company will be successful in its effort to secure additional financing.

We continue to experience net operating losses. Our ability to continue as a going concern is subject to our ability to develop profitable operations. We are devoting substantially all of our efforts to developing our business and raising capital. Our net operating losses increase the difficulty in meeting such goals and there can be no assurances that such methods will prove successful.

The primary issues management will focus on in the immediate future to address this matter include: seeking additional credit facilities from institutional lenders; seeking institutional investors for debt or equity investments in our Company; short term interim debt financing: and private placements of debt and equity securities with accredited investors.

To address these issues, we are negotiating the potential sale of securities with investment banking companies to assist us in raising capital. We are also presently in discussions with several institutions about obtaining additional credit facilities.

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 15% 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

We purchase Retail Installment Sales Contracts ("RISC") from motorcycle dealers and we originate leases on new and used motorcycles and other powersports vehicles from motorcycle dealers throughout the United States.

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 our balance sheet as RISC loans receivable current and long term. When the RISC is entered into our accounting system, based on the customer's APR (interest rate), an amortization schedule for the loan on a simple interest basis is created. Interest is computed by taking the principal balance times the APR rate then divided by 365 days to get your daily interest amount. The daily interest amount is multiplied by the number of days from the last payment to get the interest income portion of the payment being applied. The balance of the payment goes to reducing the loan principal balance.

Our 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 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. An acquisition fee classified as fee income on the financial statements is received and recognized in income at the inception of the lease. Direct financing leases are recorded at the gross amount of the lease receivable, and unearned income at lease inception is amortized over the lease term.

We realize 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, we receive the proceeds from either the resale or release of the repossessed motorcycle, or the payment by the lessee's insurer. We record a gain or loss for the difference between the proceeds received and the net book value of the motorcycle. We charge fees to manufacturers and other customers related to creating a private label version of our 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.

Revenues generated by our subsidiary, Specialty Reports, Inc., are recognized on a cash basis.

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.
 

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.

ITEM 3.                 QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not applicable.

ITEM 4.                 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based on that evaluation, and in light of the material weaknesses found in our internal controls, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were not effective.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.  In our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, we determined that control deficiencies existed that constituted material weaknesses, as described below: 
 
 
lack of documented policies and procedures;
 
we have no audit committee;
 
there is a risk of management override given that our officers have a high degree of involvement in our day to day operations.
 
there is no effective separation of duties, which includes monitoring controls, between the members of management.

Management is currently evaluating what steps can be taken in order to address these material weaknesses. 

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 are subject to certain risks and uncertainties in our business operations including those which are described below. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known or which are currently deemed immaterial may also impair our business operations.  A description of factors that could materially affect our business, financial condition or operating results were included in Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2011, filed August 15, 2011, and is incorporated herein by reference.  Certain descriptions of those risk factors have been amended and are set forth below

We have an operating history of losses.

Through our fiscal year ended April 30, 2011, we have generated cumulative sales revenues of $4,524,402, have incurred significant expenses, and have sustained significant losses. Our net loss for the year ended April 30, 2011 was $3,663,867.  As of April 30, 2011, we had a deficit net worth of $2,946,315. Through our fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2011, we have generated cumulative sales revenues of $4,823,739, have incurred significant expenses, and have sustained significant losses. Our net loss for the six months ended October 31, 2011 was $1,039,580.  As of October 31, 2001, we had a deficit net worth of $3,397,352.

We had an agreement for a credit line with an institutional lender, who has acquired preferences and rights senior to those of our capital stock and placed restrictions on the payment of dividends.  This line had been terminated.

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.   New World has ceased all lending operations and its assets have been taken over by its creditors.  As of October 31, 2011, we owed an aggregate of $549,250 (which is secured by $817,777 of consumer Retail Installment Sales Contracts and Leases and $54,928 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 cash dividends on any of our preferred shares and common shares.  We may not be able to repay our outstanding indebtedness under the credit line.

We have an agreement for a master lease funding agreement.

In September 2010, we entered into a two year $5 million master lease funding agreement. Under this agreement we originate and underwrite motorcycle leases pursuant to the credit criteria of the lender and sell the leases to the lender for a fee. This type of agreement is known as a pass-through. The Company is liable for ten percent of the lender’s losses on the leases sold to it up to $500,000. There can be no assurances that we can underwrite a sufficient number of leases to fully utilize the initial amount of the agreement, and if we do there can be no assurance that this lender will increase the amount of the agreement. As of October 31, 2011, we have not utilized this line and are in negotiations to modify the terms of this institution’s requirements.

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.  The Company applied proceeds from financing activities described below to working capital.


During the three months ended October 31, 2011, the Company sold to an accredited investor four one-year, unsecured notes in the aggregate amount of $180,000.  The notes bare 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 are convertible into shares of common stock at prices ranging from $0.00312 to $0.00576 per share.

During the three months ended October 31, 2011, the Company sold to one accredited investor a $35,000 nine month, 8% notes convertible at the holder’s option into such number of shares of the Company’s common stock as determined by a forty-two 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 standard anti-dilutive provisions. The Company has reserved up to 76,610,000 shares of its common stock in the event of conversion pursuant to the terms of the note.  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.

During the three months ended October 31, 2011, the Company sold to an accredited investor a $30,000, 15%, three year note which requires the Company to make thirty-six monthly payments of $1,040 each. The note holder may convert the outstanding balance of the note at any time at $0.00825 per share.

During the three months ended October 31, 2011, the Company sold to an accredited investor a one month, 10%, note in the amount of $25,000. As an inducement the Company issued 800,000 shares of its restricted common stock to the note holder valued at $6,160. Pursuant to the terms of the note, for each month, or portion thereof, that the note remains un paid, the Company is required to issue as a penalty 800,000 shares of its restricted common stock. As of October 31, 2011 the note was outstanding.

During the three months ended October 31, 2011, two note holders converted $29,500 of notes and accrued interest thereon into 12,130,913 shares of common stock.

During the three months ended October 31, 2011, the Company sold to two accredited investors 8,168,112 shares of common stock for $37,600.

During the three months ended October 31, 2011, the Company issued 1,058,000 shares to existing note holders in consideration of the terms of their notes of which 170,000 remained to be issued at October 31, 2011.

During the quarter ended October 31, 2011, the Company issued, to three consultants 1,760,465 shares of its common stock.

During the three months ended October 31, 2011, the Company’s subsidiary, Specialty Reports, Inc, sold 4.4 shares of its Series B Convertible Preferred Stock to three accredited investor for $22,000.  Each Series B share is convertible at the holder’s option at any time into either 2,222 shares of Specialty Reports, Inc. common stock, or 200,000 shares of Sparta Commercial Services common stock. In addition, during the three months ended October 31, 2011, a note holder of the Company converted a $10,000 note plus accrued interest thereon into 2.49 shares of Series A Preferred stock of Specialty Reports, Inc.  Each Series A share is convertible at the holder’s option at any time into either 2,632 shares of Specialty Reports, Inc. common stock, or 277,778 shares of Sparta Commercial Services common stock.
