Confederate Motors, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2013
(unaudited)

NOTE 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Business

Confederate Motors, Inc. (the “Company”) is a manufacturer of American handcrafted street motorcycles. The Company currently offers one model: the X132 Hellcat. The X132 Hellcat model started production in January 2012. The Confederate Brand was founded in 1991. The Company has been operational since 2003 and is headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. It is management's opinion, however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation.

The unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto, together with the Management’s Discussion and Analysis, for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.  The interim results for the period ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management believes that the estimates utilized in preparing the Company’s financial statements are reasonable and prudent; however, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include Confederate Motors, Inc., and Confederate Motor Company, Inc. (collectively, the “Company”).  All intercompany accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company operates in an industry that is subject to intense competition and rapid technological change and is in a state of fluctuation as a result of the recent economic downturn in the United States and around the world.  The Company's operations are subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial, operational, technological, and regulatory risks including the potential risk of business failure.

See Note 7 for a full discussion of commitments, contingencies and other uncertainties.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash depository accounts which at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The risk is managed by maintaining all deposits in high quality financial institutions. These amounts represent actual account balances held by the financial institution at the end of the period, and unlike the balance reported in the financial statements, the account balances do not reflect timing delays inherent in reconciling items such as outstanding checks and deposits in transit.
 
Inventory

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.  Inventory consists of parts inventory, work in process (WIP), finished goods inventory, apparel inventory and manufacturing overhead associated with WIP and finished goods.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and includes expenditures that substantially increase the useful lives of existing property and equipment. Maintenance, repairs, and minor renovations are expensed as incurred. Upon sale or retirement of property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the respective accounts and the resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations. The Company provides for depreciation of property and equipment using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives or the term of the lease, as appropriate. The estimated useful lives are as follows: vehicles, 5 years; furniture and fixtures, 3 to 5 years; equipment, 3 to 5 years.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues from the sale of motorcycles and equipment are recognized when products are delivered or shipped. Advance payments from customers are typically required to secure the order and are shown as deferred revenue in the accompanying balance sheets and are non-refundable. The Company recognizes revenue from repair services in the same month the service is provided.  Cash payments received from customers prior to delivery of the motorcycle are recorded as deferred revenue on the balance sheet.  Deferred revenue was $758,826 at March 31, 2013 and $817,582 at December 31, 2012.

Earnings per Share

In accordance with accounting guidance now codified as FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share,” basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period.  Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period.

The Company had the following potential common stock equivalents at March 31, 2013:

Common stock warrants
   
105,000
 
Common stock options
   
2,000,000
 
Total common stock equivalents
   
2,105,000
 
 
 
7

 
 
Since the Company reflected no net income in the first quarter, the effect of considering any common stock equivalents, if outstanding, would have been anti-dilutive. A separate computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share is not presented.
 
Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with accounting guidance now codified as FASB ASC Topic 740, “ Income Taxes ,” which requires that the Company recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect in the years the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred income tax benefit (expense) results from the change in net deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some or all deferred tax assets will not be realized. Income tax periods 2010, 2011 and 2012 are open for examination by taxing authorities.
 
Accounting guidance now codified as FASB ASC Topic 740-20, “Income Taxes – Intraperiod Tax Allocation,” clarifies the accounting for uncertainties in income taxes recognized in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740-20 by prescribing guidance for the recognition, de-recognition and measurement in financial statements of income tax positions taken in previously filed tax returns or tax positions expected to be taken in tax returns, including a decision whether to file or not to file in a particular jurisdiction. FASB ASC Topic 740-20 requires that any liability created for unrecognized tax benefits is disclosed. The application of FASB ASC Topic 740-20 may also affect the tax bases of assets and liabilities and therefore may change or create deferred tax liabilities or assets. The Company would recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.  At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, the Company did not record any liabilities for uncertain tax positions.
 
Advertising Costs

Advertising costs relate to the Company’s efforts to promote its products and brands.  Advertising is expensed as incurred.  For the quarter ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, advertising expense was $10,342 and $9,281 respectively.

Research and Development Costs

Expenditures for research activities relating to product development and improvement are charged against income as incurred and included within selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statements of operations. Research and development (R&D) costs totaled $23,163 and $36,498 for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Shipping and Handling Costs

The Company records shipping and handling costs billed to the customer and shipping and handling expenses in cost of sales.

Fair Value Measurements

We have categorized our assets and liabilities recorded at fair value based upon the fair value hierarchy specified by GAAP.

The levels of fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1 inputs utilize unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access;
 
 
8

 
 
Level 2 inputs utilize other-than-quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals; and

Level 3 inputs are unobservable and are typically based on our own assumptions, including situations where there is little, if any, market activity.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, we categorize such financial asset or liability based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair value of positions that are classified within the Level 3 category. As a result, the unrealized gains and losses for assets within the Level 3 category may include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable and unobservable inputs.

There are no fair value measurements as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Reclassification

Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.  The results of these reclassifications did not materially affect financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2009, the Company issued 105,000 stock purchase warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 with an exercise term of five years. The Company valued these warrants utilizing a Black-Scholes option pricing model utilizing the following assumptions: fair market value per share -$1.50, exercise price -$1.50, expected volatility -115%, risk free interest rate -1.73%. The fair value of $127,050 was recorded to additional paid-in capital.

Registration Rights Penalty

In connection with the issuance of common stock and convertible debt, which converted into common stock in 2009, these equity holders were entitled to liquidated damages, which provide for a payment in cash equal to a maximum of 10% of the total offering price for all equity proceeds raised.  The convertible note holders were entitled to liquidated damages which provide for a payment in cash equal to a maximum of 15% of the total offering price for all equity proceeds raised. The Company was required to file an S-1 registration statement 120 days after the offering closed.  The closing date of the offering was February 12, 2009; therefore the 120th day was June 12, 2009.  Furthermore, the Company was required to have the S-1 registration declared effective within 150 days (July 12, 2009). The Company never filed a registration statement.  In 2012, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with a shareholder for cash in exchange for shares, which reduced the equity subject to registration rights penalty. See Note 7 for disclosure of the settlement agreement.

The Company has evaluated the registration rights provision and has determined the probability of incurring liquidated damages. The Company recorded the full penalty.

NOTE 6 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Pamela Miller (life partner of Matthew Chambers, Chairman, CEO), handles patent and trade name filings/renewals and administrative support for the Company.  There is no formal contract between the Company and Pamela Miller.  Her compensation was $3,000 and $3,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Additionally, Pamela Miller is the guarantor for the majority of the loans and leases, vendor open accounts and the corporate credit card.
 
NOTE 7 – COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND UNCERTAINTIES

Contingencies and Uncertainties
 
From time to time, the Company may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm its business. With the exception of the one lawsuit discussed in more detail below, the Company is currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that they believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse affect on its business, financial condition or operating results.
 
We have one legal action – Confederate Motors, Inc. v. Francois-Xavier Terny, et al.
 
On November 26, 2012, the Company entered into a Mutual Settlement Agreement & General Release (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Francois Xavier Terny.  The purpose of the Settlement Agreement was to settle the outstanding dispute and settle all claims between the parties.  Under the Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to make scheduled payments to Mr. Terny totaling $350,000 in exchange for 805,000 shares held by Mr. Terny.  The Company agreed to pay Mr. Terny $50,000 upon the execution of the Settlement Agreement.  An additional $25,000 was paid to Mr. Terny on or before December 31, 2012 and the final payment of $275,000 was required to be paid on or before March 31, 2013. On April 4, 2013, counsel for Francois-Xavier Terny filed a stipulated judgment in connection with the final payment under the Mutual Settlement Agreement & General Release between the Company and Mr. Terny.  Management believes the judgment may be defective and is seeking legal clarification concerning same.

The Company’s basis in the treasury shares is $313,950.  The Company used the market value on November 26, 2012, the date of settlement, to value the shares.
  
Operating Lease

The Company currently occupies a leased building in Birmingham, AL. The Company signed an amendment in October 2010 to extend the lease term to October 31, 2013.  The Company may terminate the lease on or after April 30, 2011 with 180 days’ prior written notice.  The monthly base rental for the extension period is $4,320, $4,450, and $4,580 for the years 2011, 2012 and 2013.

Rent expense paid under the operating lease obligation totaled $14,938 and $14,548 for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

At March 31, 2013, future minimum payments due under the operating lease agreements are as follows:

NOTE 8 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
Various ASU’s up through ASU No. 2013-07 that contain technical corrections to existing guidance or affect guidance to specialized industries or entities were recently issued. These updates have no current applicability to the Company or their effect on the financial statements would not have been significant.
 
NOTE 9 – EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
 
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed giving effect to all potential dilutive common stock, including common stock options and common stock warrants. For the comparative periods presented, the common stock warrants were included in calculating diluted earnings per share. However, the common stock warrants and common stock options were not included in the computation of the per share loss for the current periods because the effect would be anti-dilutive. These items could be dilutive in the future.

NOTE 10 – NOTE RECEIVABLE
 
On September 27, 2012, the Company sold the design and manufacturing rights to the discontinued Fighter model to a third party for $100,000. The full asset purchase price was recorded as other income.  In conjunction with the sale an initial payment of $25,000 was received and a promissory note for the balance was issued.  The term of the promissory note is one year with an interest rate of 7%  The promissory note calls for 2 installment payments of $12,500 each and a final payment of $50,000 due on September 30, 2013.
As of the date of this report the first $12,500 installment has not been received.

NOTE 11 – CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

At March 31, 2013 the Company had monies in bank accounts not exceeding the federally insured limits.  The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insures deposit account balances to at least $250,000 per insured bank. 
 
NOTE 12 – GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATIONS

Management has evaluated the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The following considerations suggest that the Company will continue in business for the foreseeable future. The Company has minimal debt obligations of $13,345 in notes payable and $1,717 in lease obligations which results in negligible debt service payments.  We are currently not engaged in any discussions that could result in additional borrowings.
 
The Company has a significant backlog of orders; as of the date of this report the Company has 32 orders which represent 4-6 months of production backlog.  The Company projects an additional 50 to 100 orders with the unveiling of the F4 Hellcat at year end.  Accordingly, management is of the opinion that the substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern has been mitigated.
 
NOTE 13 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
On February 22, 2013, the Company offered for sale 3,600,000 shares of Common Stock at $0.25 per share.  As of the date of this report, the Company has received subscription commitments for 3,340,000 shares, 840,000 of which will be used to pay Matthew Chambers, CEO, for wages owed to him.  Funds received in the amount of $170,000 have been placed in the trust account. The offering will close on May 31, 2013.
 
A payment on settlement payable of $275,000 was due on March 31, 2013. The payment is delinquent with no penalty issued as of the date of this report.

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

Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are contained principally in, but not limited to, the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations.” Forward-looking statements provide our current expectations or forecasts of future events. Forward-looking statements include statements about our expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, intentions, assumptions and other statements that are not historical facts. Words or phrases such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “ongoing,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project” or similar words or phrases, or the negatives of those words or phrases, may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not necessarily mean that a statement is not forward-looking.

Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties and are based on potentially inaccurate assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected or implied by the forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in forward-looking statements for many reasons. Accordingly, you should not unduly rely on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report.
 
Unless required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly revise any forward-looking statement to reflect circumstances or events after the date of this report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.  You should, however, review the factors and risks we describe in the reports we will file from time to time with the SEC after the date of this report.

Management cautions that these statements are qualified by their terms and/or important factors, many of which are outside of our control, and involve a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from the statements made, including, but not limited to, the following:
 
actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly and annual operating results;
decreased demand for our products resulting from changes in consumer preferences;
product and services announcements by us or our competitors;
loss of any of our key executives;
regulatory announcements, proceedings, or changes;
competitive product developments;
intellectual property and legal developments;
mergers or strategic alliances in the motorcycle industry;
any business combination we may propose or complete;
any financing transactions we may propose or complete; or
broader industry and market trends unrelated to our performance.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements.

The Company’s ability to meet the targets and expectations noted depends upon, among other factors, the Company’s ability to (i) continue to realize production efficiencies and manage operating costs including materials, labor and overhead; (ii) manage production capacity and production changes; (iii) manage supply chain issues; (iv) provide products, services and experiences that are successful in the marketplace; (v) develop and implement sales and marketing plans that retain existing retail customers and attract new retail customers in an increasingly competitive marketplace; (vi) continue to develop the capabilities of its distributor network; (vii) manage changes and prepare for requirements in legislative and regulatory environments for its products, services and operations; (viii) manage access to reliable sources of capital and adjust to fluctuations in the cost of capital; (ix) anticipate consumer confidence in the economy; (x) retain and attract talented employees; and (xi) detect any issues with our motorcycles or manufacturing processes to avoid delays in new model launches, increased warranty costs or litigation.

The Company’s ability to sell its motorcycles and related products and services and to meet its financial expectations also depends on the ability of the Company’s independent distributors to sell its motorcycles and related products and services to retail customers. The Company depends on the capability and financial capacity of its independent distributors to develop and implement effective retail sales plans to create demand for the motorcycles and related products and services they purchase from the Company.
 
In addition, the Company’s independent distributors may experience difficulties in operating their businesses and selling our products.
 
Throughout this report, unless otherwise designated, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “the Company”, “CM” and “our company” refer to Confederate Motors, Inc., a Delaware corporation.
 
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

We produce premium, heavyweight (651+cc) motorcycles. The Company manufactures the third generation Hellcat (“X132”).   

Overview and Outlook
 
Net revenue for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2013 was $417,987 compared to $706,930 for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2012. Net revenue is lower primarily because the first three new X132 Hellcat Combat designated engines failed to meet managements required specifications resulting in 4.5 weeks of production time lost. Net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 was $59,347 compared to a net loss of $15,165 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. Net loss was higher due to the decrease in efficiency caused by the production time lost.
 
Cash flow from operating activities was $(99,241) for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $5,164 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Net cash flow required by financing activities was $6,080 and $9,494 for the three months of 2013 and 2012, respectively.
 
We believe that the near-term global economic environment is improving for the business. We are optimistic about the Company’s long-term business prospects and plans to continue to expand production and global distribution. The operational focus for first quarter 2013 was spent on the engine performance of the X132 Hellcat Combat.  We maintain a growing sales backlog for which revenue will be recognized in later periods.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold was $203,205 for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2013 compared to $411,151 for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2012.  Cost of goods sold was lower mainly due to a decreased production of motorcycles. 

Gross Profit

Gross profit was $214,782 for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2013, compared to $295,779 for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2012. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 51% and 42% for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  Gross profit was lower due to lower production on the new X132 Hellcat model; however, the percentage increase is due to an average higher selling price.
 
 
16

 
 
Operating Expenses

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
 
Selling, general and administrative costs (SG and A) was $250,682 for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2013, compared to $288,691 in 2012. The first quarter 2013 SG and A expense includes a non-cash stock option expense of $97,188. First quarter 2012 SG and A expense includes a non-cash expense of $86,172 related to stock options.  Excluding the effect of stock option expense, SG and A expenses decreased 24.2% over the prior year due to decreases in salaries, benefits.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and are included in operating expenses in the accompanying statements of operations. Research and development costs totaled $23,163 and $36,498 for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Cautionary Statements
 
Our ability to meet the targets and expectations noted depends upon, among other factors, our ability to (i) continue to realize production efficiencies and manage operating costs including materials, labor and overhead; (ii) manage production capacity and production changes; (iii) manage supply chain issues; (iv) provide products, services and experiences that are successful in the marketplace; (v) develop and implement sales and marketing plans that retain existing retail customers and attract new retail customers in an increasingly competitive marketplace; (vi) continue to develop the capabilities of its distributor network; (vii) manage changes and prepare for requirements in legislative and regulatory environments for its products, services and operations; (viii) manage access to reliable sources of capital and adjust to fluctuations in the cost of capital; (ix) anticipate consumer confidence in the economy; (x) retain and attract talented employees; (xi) detect any issues with our motorcycles or manufacturing processes to avoid delays in new model launches, increased warranty costs or litigation.

Our ability to sell our motorcycles and related products and services and to meet our financial expectations also depends on the ability of our independent distributors to sell our motorcycles and related products and services to retail customers. We depend on the capability and financial capacity of our independent distributors to develop and implement effective retail sales plans to create demand for the motorcycles and related products and services they purchase from us.
 
In addition, our independent distributors may experience difficulties in operating their businesses and selling our products.

Plan of Operation
 
Strengthen our Position in our Core Market
 
We intend to strengthen and grow our niche position in our target market of high net worth customers.  To this end we have introduced the X132 Hellcat, which management believes is tougher, stronger, lighter and more efficient than our previous designs.
 
We intend to develop and introduce new products to appeal to the changing needs of our target clients and to bring new clients to the Confederate brand.  We believe we can expand our traditional market niche by combining hot rod street credibility, avant-garde American design and quality hand craftsmanship.  We believe that the aesthetics of our new third generation architecture simplified to a slightly more conventional level will both solidify and grow our present target audience and open our Confederate brand to high net worth individuals.
 
Strengthen our Distribution Network
 
We believe our U.S. sales deployment strategy will create the most proximate relationship between our target client and our Confederate team.  We plan to open a small servicing center, retail environment, and design boutique in a large metropolitan market but no definitive plans have been made.  This facility will serve as a template for expansion as demand for our motorcycles increases.
 
 
17

 
 
Develop our Internet Business
 
As our current and only web presence, confederate.com encompasses a wealth of information on our brand and products.  Activity on our website has increased from approximately 14,000 unique visitors per month in 2005 to approximately 36,000 per month in 2012.  Management believes these statistics point to an improvement in quality and relevance of referrals to our site.  Going forward our plan is to spread and better organize and classify information about our products and brand by separating information across a total of three web presences, in order to pull in more web traffic and widen our sales demographic.  The goal of this diversification is not just intended to increase motorcycle sales but specifically to create an entirely new revenue stream in apparel, parts, and accessory sales.
 
We anticipate that confederate.com will be a more streamlined and informative site where the motorcycle consumer will be able to review specs, details, and product photos.  This site will be intended to serve as a “nuts and bolts” information source on Confederate motorcycles.
 
Marketing Activities and Brand Development
 
We believe the Confederate motorcycle brand is perceived to be one of the most authentic in the motoring industry.  This belief is predicated upon the absolute consistency of the brand message since its launch in the December issue of Motorcyclist Magazine in 1993.  The brand exists to communicate a cerebral and spiritual rebel initiative inspired by fierce American pure objective individuality through the creation of uncompromised handcrafted motoring works of art.
 
Media
 
We do not invest substantially in paid advertising.  We believe that our motorcycles are aspirational products that create a significant demand “pull”.  The primary source of publicity comes from articles written about Confederate in a broad range of motorcycle publications and the luxury goods press.  Articles and broadcast segments featuring Confederate have appeared in The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, The New York Times, Fast Company, The Robb Report, The Men’s Journal, DuPont Registry, GQ, Maxim, Popular Science Ralph Lauren Magazine, I.D. (which deemed the Wraith the “Worlds Sexiest Motorcycle”) and have recently been featured in the Discovery Network’s series “World’s Most Expensive Rides”; as well as, appearing in The Atlantan magazine as an elite Father’s Day gift.  In addition, management believes that Confederate enthusiasts, including Hollywood celebrities, music stars and international athletes add to the overall brand exposure.
  
Manufacturing and Suppliers
 
Our manufacturing operations consist of in-house production of certain components and parts, assembly of motorcycle components and conducting quality control of finished motorcycles.  Certain motorcycle components specific to our bikes are outsourced for production to our specifications to various vendors, including engines, machined frame components, transmission gears, belt drives, fenders, fuel tanks, and seats.  Other key components are purchased off-the-shelf from various independent suppliers mostly located in the United States, including brake and suspension systems, drive belts, ignition starters, wheels, tires, lights and batteries.  Components manufactured by us in-house include electrical harnesses and wiring and welded motorcycle frames, and exhaust.
 
We have designed our quality control procedures and standards to include inspection of incoming components and adherence to specific work-in-process standards during motorcycle assembly. Finished motorcycles are subjected to performance testing under running conditions and to final quality inspection.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
At March 31, 2013, we had cash of $23,594.
 
To the extent we are successful in rolling out our product line and increasing demand for our motorcycles, we plan to use our working capital to fund continued operations.  Our opinion concerning our liquidity is based on current information. If this information proves to be inaccurate, or if circumstances change, we may not be able to meet our liquidity needs.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
Various ASU’s up through ASU No. 2013-07 contain technical corrections to existing guidance or affect guidance to specialized industries or entities were recently issued. These updates have no current applicability to the Company or their effect on the financial statements would not have been significant.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
Our financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenues and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.
 
Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1 of our financial statements. While all these significant accounting policies impact our financial condition and results of operations, we view certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on our financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Our management believes that given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would affect consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented in this report.
 
Significant amounts of our shares of common stock have been issued as payment to employees and non-employees for services. These are non-cash transactions that require management to make judgments related to the fair value of the shares issued, which affects the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements for certain of our assets and expenses. For historic fiscal years when there was not an observable active, liquid market for our common stock, the valuation of the shares issued in a non-cash share payment transaction relies on observation of arms-length transactions where cash was received for our shares, before and after the non-cash share payment date.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

None.
 
ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
As a smaller reporting company, we have elected not to provide the disclosure required by this item.
 
ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act, as of March 31, 2013.   Based on this evaluation, as a result of the material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting as previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 31, 2012 our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that all information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

The company is currently undertaking measures including software upgrades and individual accountability to ensure timely and accurate reporting.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

In January 2013, the Company converted a payable of $50,000 to 116,279 shares of common stock to an investor.

The investor was an accredited investor at the time of the conversion. The shares were issued without registration under the Securities Act by reason of the exemption from registration afforded by the provisions of Section 4(a)(5) and/or Section 4(a)(2) thereof, and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder, as a transaction by an issuer not involving any public offering.  No selling commissions were paid in connection with the sale of the shares.
