PART I

Item 1. Description of Business

(a) BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

        Viper Powersports Inc. was incorporated in Nevada in 1980 under a former name, and was inactive for years prior to early 2005. On March 31, 2005,it was recapitalized through a stock exchange merger with Viper Motorcycle Company, a Minnesota corporation, resulting in Viper Motorcycle Company becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Viper Powersports Inc. The transaction was effected as a reverse merger, since the former shareholders of Viper Motorcycle Company acquired 93.5% of the resulting combined entity. Viper Powersports Inc. regards its inception as being the incorporation of Viper Motorcycle Company on November 18, 2002, and the combined company is considered a continuation of the motorcycle operations of Viper Motorcycle Company. Under this reverse merger, Viper Motorcycle Company was treated as the acquiring entity for accounting and operational purposes and Viper Powersports Inc. as the surviving or parent entity for legal purposes. The stock exchange for this merger was effected on a one-for-one basis with the stockholders of Viper Motorcycle Company exchanging all of their capital stock for a like amount and type of capital stock of Viper Powersports Inc.

        Viper Performance Inc. is also a wholly-owned subsidiary which was incorporated in Minnesota in March 2005. Viper Performance Inc. was formed for the purpose of receiving and holding engine development technology and assets acquired by Viper Powersports Inc. effective March 31, 2005.

        As used herein, the terms “we”, “us”, “our”, and “the Company” refer to Viper Powersports Inc. and its two wholly-owned subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise.

        Since our inception in late 2002, we have been in the business of designing, developing and commencing commercial marketing and production of premium custom V-Twin motorcycles popularly known as “cruisers.” We have recently also acquired and completed extensive testing of a line of powerful motorcycle engines for use by us both to power all Viper motorcycles and to sell into the large motorcycle product aftermarket. Our motorcycles will be distributed and sold under our Viper brand through a nationwide network of independent motorcycle dealers. Marketing of our motorcycles is targeted toward the upscale market niche of motorcycle enthusiasts who prefer luxury products and are willing to pay a higher price for enhanced performance, innovative styling and a distinctive brand. We believe there is a consistently strong demand for upscale or luxury motorcycle products like our American-styled classic Viper cruisers and our premium V-Twin engines. For example, the prestigious upscale Robb Report magazine publishes a Robb Report Motorcycling magazine bi-monthly, which is targeted exclusively to luxury motorcycle products.

        While in our development stage, in 2004 we produced and sold to our initial dealers a preliminary run of our initial cruiser model powered by a non-proprietary engine, consisting of 25 motorcycles which generated revenues of approximately $600,000. We then discontinued any further production operations in order to concentrate on acquiring proprietary motorcycle engine technology so that we could have our own engines to power all Viper motorcycles, as well as to complete certain other material enhancements to our initial model.

        In January 2005 we commenced negotiations to acquire our proprietary engine technology, and completed this acquisition in March 2005, resulting in our now owning three different-sized powerful V-Twin engines as well as other engine technology. We completed the development and extensive testing of our V-Twins in October 2005, and we have been very satisfied with their performance while powering our cruisers during all kinds of street and highway running conditions.

Table of Contents

        During the first nine months of 2005, we also completed all other planned enhancements and component modifications to our primary Viper cruiser, the “Diablo.” We believe that our development stage has ended, and that our Viper Diablo now satisfies all styling, performance and quality standards or criteria that we resolved to be met before being commercially introduced in our marketplace. We are currently in the process of outsourcing and/or ordering components, parts and raw materials for commercial production and sales of Viper cruisers by the summer of 2006.

2005 Reorganization

        We planned and successfully completed a major reorganization in early 2005 including the following transactions:

  • Debt Conversions - We converted most of our outstanding debt and liabilities into our common stock at $2.50 per share, including trade accounts payable, loans and accrued liabilities totaling approximately $4.8 Million.

  • Strategic Merger - We completed the reverse merger between Viper Motorcycle Company and Viper Powersports Inc. resulting in our becoming a publicly-traded company.

  • Strategic Asset Purchase - We consummated a key asset purchase in exchange for our common stock under which we acquired our powerful line of premium V-Twin engines to power all Viper cruisers.

Purchase of Engine Development Technology

        Our proprietary engine development technology was purchased effective March 31, 2005. These strategic assets were acquired from Thor Performance Inc., a Minnesota corporation in exchange for 2,996,575 shares of common stock of Viper Powersports Inc. issued to Thor Performance Inc.

        Motorcycle technology acquired by us in this strategic asset purchase includes designs and prototypes for three V-Twin engines and other motorcycle engines, related motorcycle component development, and a commitment to complete engine development still in progress. Our proprietary engine development technology was designed and developed over the past 6-7 years by Melling Consultancy Design (MCD), a leading engine design and development firm based in England.

        Incident to this acquisition, related parties of our company acquired beneficially 2,401,192 of our common shares based on their prior ownership of capital stock of Thor Performance Inc. Because Thor was controlled by persons who control us, this asset purchase was not an arms-length transaction. Accordingly, before closing the transaction, Thor obtained and provided us with an independent fair market value appraisal from a business appraisal firm based in Dallas, Texas. For accounting purposes, the acquisition was valued at $7,491,438 based on $2.50 per share, whereas the independent appraisal valued our engine development intellectual property at $19,616,400.

Corporate Data

        The address of the Company in suburban Minneapolis is 5733 International Parkway, New Hope, MN 55428; its phone number is (763) 732-0778; and its website address is www.viperpowersports.com.

(b) BUSINESS OF COMPANY

        We develop and produce proprietary motorcycle products targeted toward consumers who purchase upscale luxury products. Any material revenues we generate initially will be from sale of our Diablo cruisers. Additional anticipated sources of revenues include a second model of a Viper cruiser scheduled for commercial introduction in late 2006, aftermarket sales of our proprietary V-Twin engines, and sales of ancillary Viper motorcycle products including aftermarket custom parts and accessories and Viper branded apparel and other merchandise.

Our revenue stream will be primarily affected by customer demand for our Viper motorcycles, our ability to timely provide Viper products in response to dealer orders, recruitment and retention of effective Viper dealers who actively promote and sell our products, and our dealers’ acceptance of our floor plan financing facility. We currently hold orders from our dealers for approximately 100 Viper cruisers, although these orders are cancelable anytime by dealers.

Our Market

        Motorcycles are generally characterized in their industry by weight, primarily based on engine displacement size. Our cruisers fall within the heavyweight motorcycle category which includes models with engine displacements of at least 651cc (cubic centimeters). There are generally four types of heavyweight motorcycles:

  • standard, which emphasize simplicity and low cost;

  • performance, which emphasize handling and speed;

  • touring, which emphasize rider comfort and long distance travel; and

  • cruisers, which are designed to facilitate customization by owners.

        According to information released by the Motorcycle Industry Council (MIC), heavyweight motorcycle sales in the U.S. have increased each year from 1992 to 2004. Over a ten-year period from 1992 to 2002, new heavyweight motorcycle registrations increased from 86,400 units in 1992 to 442,300 units in 2002, an average annual growth rate in excess of 15%.

        Our Viper motorcycles are offered and compete in the upscale segment of the heavyweight custom V-Twin cruiser market dominated by Harley-Davidson. We believe that potential customers in this upscale market seek motorcycle models having a product and lifestyle appeal associated with the classic American V-Twin cruiser tradition. Our targeted customer base has expanded for many years due to the growing popularity of motorcycling along with the aging of the population bulge from the post-World War II baby boom years. Many males of the baby boom generation now are in their peak income earning years, making them good prospects for luxury goods. We believe that premium motorcycles have become well-accepted and popular luxury recreational motorsports products. In its recent annual report, Harley-Davidson stated that the typical consumer of their heavyweight motorcycles is a married man in his mid-forties having an income of approximately $81,000.

Our Motorcycles

        Viper motorcycles have been designed and developed to attract and appeal to wealthy motorcycle enthusiasts willing to pay a higher price for enhanced performance, innovative styling and a distinctive new brand.

         Viper Diablo

        The Viper Diablo is our primary cruiser, which we believe has been designed and developed with many styling and performance features and components distinguishing it from cruisers of our competitors. Our development efforts have focused substantially on providing enough signature styling and component features for the Diablo to compare favorably to other premium cruisers.

Premium components and distinctive features of the Diablo include:

  • a powerful, billet-cut proprietary V-Twin engine;

  • our unique right-side drivetrain providing maximum rider balance;

3



Table of Contents

  • premium HID headlights and LED display functions;

  • a 6-speed transmission;

  • adjustable rear end air suspension system and front-end Marzocchi forks;

  • a proprietary handlebar vibration dampening system; and

  • wide high-quality Metzeler tires and premium billet wheels.

The outward appearance of the Diablo includes distinctive styling features such as:

  • substantial use of billet-cut components including the V-Twin engine, primary drive, controls and wheels;

  • a low, streamlined look;

  • oil storage in the frame, enabling a sleeker and more naked appearance due to absence of an under-seat oil tank;

  • a unique swingarm design; and

  • rear light and LED turn signals built into the fender.

Basic specifications of the Diablo cruiser are as follows:

  • Wheelbase length and rake:         68 inches, 34º

  • Weight:                                            570 pounds

  • Seat height:                                     21-25 inches, adjustable

  • Engine type:                                    45º V-Twin, air-cooled

  • Engine displacement:                     Choice of 115, 128 and 152 cubic inches

  • Fuel distribution:                            Mikuni carburetion or direct injection (DI)

  • Frame:                                               1 1/2" tubular steel

  • Transmission/drivetrain:               6-speed, Viper right-side drive

  • Final drive:                                       Belt

  • Rear-end suspension:                    Adjustable air-ride

  • Front-end suspension:                  Marzocchi inverted cartridge forks

  • Tires:                                                Metzeler - 240mm front and 130mm rear

  • Brakes:                                             4-piston caliper both front and rear

  • Power rating ranges:                     105-150 bhp and 110-170 ft.lbs. torque
                                                               depending upon the displacement engine model

         Viper Diablo PC

        The Viper Diablo PC is a distinct model from our Diablo cruiser primarily due to its different styling features. It is longer and lower than the Diablo, providing it with a somewhat chopper-style look compared to the Diablo. Most of the unique features and premium components used in the Diablo are also included in our Diablo PC model. Suggested retail prices of our Diablo PC line are expected to be approximately 10% more than Diablo cruisers with the same size V-Twin engine.

Viper Proprietary Engines

        The proprietary engine technology acquired by us in early 2005 affords us the opportunity to offer multiple displacements of engine size. We have completed extensive testing for our three initial V-Twin models of 115 cubic inches, 128 cubic inches and 152 cubic inches. Both our Diablo and Diablo PC cruisers lines will offer consumers the opportunity to choose from any one of these three engines to power the motorcycle they purchase. We believe that having our own proprietary engines will distinguish us clearly and favorably from other upscale custom V-Twin competitors.

        Our proprietary V-Twin engines feature an all-billet aluminum construction including cases, heads, cylinders, rocker boxes and covers, and oil pump components. Regardless of their varying rated power, our V-Twins will utilize the same crankshaft and stroke dimensions, with only the size of the cylinder bore creating the different displacements.

        Our V-Twin engines will be produced in-house by us, and we have ordered the necessary large CNC machines to enable us to engage in volume commercial production of our V-Twin engines by the spring of 2006.

        We also anticipate that our proprietary Viper engines will provide substantial revenues to us in the large custom motorcycle aftermarket. There is a continual and growing demand for premium V-Twin engines in this aftermarket through multiple marketing channels including dealer sales, catalog sales and website online sales.

Sales and Marketing

        We will sell our motorcycles directly to our authorized Viper dealers. Our dealer network will include well-established, independent full-service dealers offering more than one motorcycle brand. We currently have 17 Viper dealers located primarily in Southern and Midwestern states, all of which are experienced in selling and servicing premium heavyweight V-Twin motorcycles. We will continue to recruit additional qualified Viper dealers to attain our goal of having a nationwide distribution network. Our near-term marketing focus will emphasize dealer recruitment in regions of the country where we lack dealer representation.

        Our dealers must maintain full-service departments capable of providing quality V-Twin engine and drivetrain maintenance and repair. They also must be able to perform custom upgrade work on cruisers. Viper dealers enter into a written dealer agreement with us granting them a designated, non-exclusive location to sell Viper motorcycle products. Dealers have the exclusive right to use and display our Viper brand in their respective locations in connection with the sale of our products. They must be responsible for warranty services and general repair and maintenance services, maintain adequate working capital, and conduct material efforts toward promoting and selling Viper products. Dealer agreements are for a one-year term, and expire automatically unless renewed by us and consented to by the dealer.

        We will conduct substantial ongoing marketing activities to support our dealer network and promote Viper products and brands to our customer base and to the general public. Our marketing and promotional efforts will include advertising in selected trade publications and motorcycle magazines, production and publication of sales brochures, technical product documentation, and providing service and operational manuals for dealers and their customers. We also will participate in direct mail promotions to prospective customers, attend leading motorcycle trade shows and conventions, and appear at popular motorcycle rallies and similar events. We also intend to institute material public relations efforts directed toward industry media sources as well as the general investment community.

Dealer Floor Plan Financing

        We have a written agreement with GE Commercial Distribution Finance Corporation (CDF) to provide floor plan financing to Viper dealers. Under this facility, we submit an invoice to CDF describing motorcycles we ship to a dealer if the dealer requests CDF floor plan financing. Provided CDF accepts the transaction, CDF will pay us 96.7% to 100% of the amount invoiced within 15 days of CDF’s receipt of the invoice. We expect that most of our Viper dealers will purchase products from us financed by this CDF floor plan facility. Each Viper dealer must qualify independently with CDF to access this financing, and CDF is only obligated to finance products it has approved on a transactional basis.

        CDF’s obligation to finance dealer purchases of Viper products is also subject to:

  • our delivery of products to the dealer within 30 days of CDF’s acceptance;

  • receipt of a transaction number from CDF; and

  • receipt by CDF of the invoice from us within 10 days of product delivery to the Viper dealer.

        If for any reason CDF deems it necessary to repossess Viper products from a Viper dealer, we must repurchase them from CDF at the greater of the dealer unpaid balance or our original invoice price, regardless of the condition of the merchandise, and we also must pay any repossession expenses incurred by CDF. Our CDF floor plan financing facility may be terminated anytime by CDF or by us upon 30 days written notice to CDF.

Design and Development

        We are committed to a substantial ongoing design and development program to:

  • introduce new Viper motorcycle models on an annual basis;

  • improve and enhance existing Viper models;

  • develop as many parts and components as possible for in-house production toward our goal of reducing production costs and controlling quality; and

  • develop and produce or outsource production of ancillary Viper components and accessories for sale in the large custom cruiser aftermarket.

        We believe our established design and development systems, our professional and motivated personnel, and other development equipment and capabilities will enable us to timely design and develop new Viper products as needed to satisfy the changing needs and tastes of the custom cruiser market. Our design and development operations are conducted primarily through our in-house development and engineering department located in our suburban Minneapolis facility. Since our November 2002 inception through August 31, 2005 we spent approximately $2.5 Million on product research, design and development including capital purchases of equipment.

Manufacturing and Suppliers

        Our manufacturing operations consist of in-house manufacture of V-Twin engines and certain other material motorcycle components, procuring numerous parts and components from third party suppliers, outsourcing the painting of Viper motorcycles, and assembling and testing motorcycles for shipment to our dealers. Certain key components for our motorcycles are being outsourced for production or purchased off-the-shelf from third party vendors located primarily in the United States. We have no written component supply agreements with our suppliers, although alternate sources exist for all components we procure from third party suppliers.

Table of Contents

Warranty Policy

        We will provide a standard limited warranty for Viper products primarily covering parts and labor to repair or replace defective motorcycle components. Our warranty will cover unlimited mileage during an effective one-year term. Under our Viper dealer agreements, our dealers will conduct repairs on Viper products under warranty, for which we will reimburse dealers. Warranty repairs and replacements will be provided at no cost to the consumer.

Competition

        The heavyweight motorcycle market is highly competitive, and most of our competitors have substantially greater financial, personnel, development, marketing and other resources than us, which puts us at a competitive disadvantage. Our major competitors have substantially larger sales volumes than we expect to ever realize and in most cases have greater business diversification. Our main competitor is Harley-Davidson, which for years has dominated the custom cruiser segment of the motorcycle marketplace. Other major competitors include Polaris with its Victory motorcycle brand, BMW, Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Moto Guzzi, Ducati and Triumph. Direct competition in the upscale cruiser market includes Big Dog, American IronHorse, Titan, Bourget’s Bike Works and others. We also compete with many small companies and sole proprietors who produce custom cruisers on a one-off basis using unbranded components. Due to the steady growth of cruiser-style motorcycles in recent years, we expect to encounter additional new competitors from time to time.

        We believe that the principal competitive factors in our industry are styling, performance, quality, product pricing, durability, consumer preferences, marketing and distribution, brand awareness and the availability of support services. We cannot assure anyone that we will be able to compete successfully against current or future competitors or that the competitive pressures faced by us will not materially harm our operations, business and financial condition.

Intellectual Property

        We hold a registered trademark for our Viper logo, and we have registered for trademark protection for the use of the term Viper in connection with motorcycles and motorcycle products. Although we have not been challenged by any party regarding our use of Viper as a brand name, there is no assurance that we will receive trademark protection from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. If we cannot obtain an official registration of the Viper trademark, however, we believe we hold the right to continue using the Viper name and brand as it is now used by us for motorcycle products. We are aware of other users of the marks Viper and Diablo for various products, and there is no assurance one or more of these other users will not challenge our use.

        We regard our development technology and proprietary know-how and assets as being very valuable to us, but we have no patent protection to date. We are in the process of preparing certain patents relating to our V-Twin engines and certain other Viper motorcycle components, which we expect to have filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office by the end of 2005. We do not expect to obtain any significant patent protection, however, and we intend to rely primarily upon a combination of trade secrets and confidentiality agreements to protect our intellectual property.

        There is no assurance that any measures taken by us to protect our intellectual property will be sufficient or that such property will provide us with any competitive advantage. Competitors may be able to copy valuable features of our products or to obtain information we regard as a trade secret. We are currently not aware of any claims of infringement against us regarding our products or intellectual property rights.

Government Regulation

        Motorcycles sold in the United States, European Union countries, Canada and other countries are subject to established environmental emissions regulations and safety standards. Viper motorcycles must be certified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for compliance with applicable emissions and noise standards and by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) with respect to California’s more stringent emissions regulations. Motorcycles sold in California also are subject to certain tailpipe and evaporative emission requirements unique to California.

        Motorcycles sold in the United States are also subject to the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act and its rules promulgated and enforced by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). This safety act prohibits sale of any new motorcycle failing to conform to NHTSA safety standards, and also provides for remedying safety defects through product recalls. We are also required to recall motorcycles voluntarily if we determine a safety defect exists regarding Viper motorcycles. If the NHTSA or we determine a defect exists requiring a recall, the costs to us of such an event could be very substantial.

        We are in the process of submitting our Viper cruisers and their V-Twin engines to the applicable governmental agencies to satisfy their certification requirements and standards. We expect to incur material ongoing costs to comply with motorcycle safety and emissions requirements. As new laws and regulations are adopted, we will assess their effects on current and future Viper motorcycle products. We expect to spend about $60,000 in 2006 for such compliance.

Employees

        We currently employ 16 persons including our management, development, marketing and administrative personnel. We expect to hire 3-4 assembly personnel in the middle of 2006 when we expect to commence commercial production of Viper cruisers. Other than these additional assembly personnel, we do not anticipate needing any additional personnel during the next twelve months.

Item 2. Plan of Operation and Management Analysis of Financial Condition

        The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated audited financial statements and related notes included in this registration statement. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (US GAAP).

Forward-Looking Statements

        This registration statement contains forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. These statements often can be identified by terminology such as “may”, “should”, “expects,” “plans”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “estimates”, “predicts,” “projects” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions or projections and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks in this Item 2 under the “title” “Risk Factors.” The risks we currently face or may encounter in the future may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

        Although we believe that the expectations or future planned operations reflected or contemplated by our forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure or guarantee any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, we do not intend to update any of our forward-looking statements to conform them to actual results.

Plan of Operation

        Our long-term business strategy or goal is to become a leading developer and supplier of premium V-Twin heavyweight motorcycles, V-Twin engines, and ancillary motorcycle aftermarket products. In implementing this strategy, we intend to execute the following matters for the next twelve months:

        Commercialize the Diablo and Diablo PC - Our primary focus during 2006 will be to establish permanent production operations for our motorcycle products to be manufactured by us on a commercial scale. We have obtained the necessary working capital and inventory financing for this purpose. We also are completing a production assembly line including shelving, railings and individual station equipment necessary for efficient factory production operations. We also have obtained all vendors, suppliers or subcontract third parties needed for obtaining components, parts and raw materials for our motorcycles and having them painted after assembly, and we will continue to identify and obtain alternate sources for material components. We anticipate commencing initial commercial delivery of Diablos to our dealers by the summer of 2006.

        Continue Design and Development - We will complete development and testing of our higher priced model in our Diablo line, the Diablo PC, in the first half of 2006 in order for it to be produced commercially by the middle of 2006. We also will commence design and development for one or more additional Viper models to be available for shipment to our dealers in 2007.

        Expansion of Distribution Network - We will continue to identify and recruit qualified independent motorcycle dealers to become Viper dealers until we achieve our goal of having a nationwide network of Viper dealers. We will only select full-service dealers which we determine possess a successful V-Twin motorcycle sales history, a solid financial condition, a good reputation in the industry, and a definite desire to sell and promote Viper products. We also intend to recruit and retain one or more Canadian motorcycle dealers to sell our products. Moreover, in 2006 we intend to commence initial efforts to enter overseas foreign markets including identifying effective overseas motorcycle distributors and attracting them to our products and Viper brand.

        Expansion of sales and marketing activities - We will continue and expand upon our marketing activities which are primarily focused toward supporting our dealer network and building Viper brand awareness. We will participate in leading consumer and dealer trade shows, rallies and other motorcycle events including the leading annual Cincinnati V-Twin dealer convention and the always popular Sturgis and Daytona motorcycle rallies. We will attend at least eight major trade shows or rallies during 2006. We also will engage in ongoing advertising and promotional activities to develop and enhance the visibility of our Viper brand image, including regular advertising in major motorcycle industry magazines and assuring such magazines write articles or otherwise report on our products and activities from time to time.

        Market and sell ancillary Viper products - In 2006, we intend to commence marketing and sales of a variety of ancillary products under our Viper brand, particularly in the large custom cruiser aftermarket. We expect our primary aftermarket sales will be our line of powerful Viper V-Twin engines, and by 2007 we anticipate obtaining substantial revenues from Viper engine sales in this active aftermarket. We also intend to develop and offer for sale certain billet parts and components to be manufactured by us in-house. We also will outsource production of ancillary Viper items from third-party suppliers including various motorcycle parts and accessories, collectibles, and other Viper branded merchandise. For example, we have recently obtained a source to provide us with a line of Viper branded apparel. Our ancillary Viper products will be sold through multiple marketing channels including Viper dealers, independent aftermarket catalogs and our website.

Table of Contents

        We anticipate spending approximately the following amounts in the next twelve months to support our operating expenses regardless of the number of motorcycles we sell or the revenues we receive:

Sales and marketing expenses including dealer support and recruitment     $ 1,200,000  
Research and development activities   $ 650,000  
General and administrative expenses including management compensation   $ 750,000  
Rent and fixed overhead expenses   $ 400,000  
Obtaining governmental regulatory certifications   $ 60,000  
Purchase of capital equipment (1)   $ 50,000  

(1)  

Represents the 10% down payment needed for the purchase of $500,000 of CNC machines needed for in-house V-Twin engine production. The balance will be paid in monthly installments over a five-year period.


        Due to our recent private placement, we anticipate having sufficient cash to support our operating expenses until we commence commercial deliveries of Viper motorcycles in the summer of 2006. Thereafter we will need additional working capital, which we intend to obtain through our SEDA financing commitment from Cornell Capital Partners.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        Since our inception, we have financed our development, capital expenditures and working capital needs through the issuance of our capital stock or through loans from our principal shareholders. Financing through issuance of our common or preferred stock has included private placements for cash, common stock issued for employee compensation and consulting services, common stock issued to satisfy accounts payable, and common and preferred stock issued to convert outstanding loans and other liabilities into capital stock of our company. We have raised a total of approximately $6.1 Million through the sale of our common stock in private placements, and at least $3.5 Million in loans from our management or principal shareholders.

        We have also relied on satisfying substantial employee compensation, consulting fees, product development, marketing and administrative expenses directly through issuance of our common stock. From inception through the end of 2004, we paid a total of approximately $2.4 Million for such expenses with our common stock.

        Incident to our early 2005 reorganization, we also converted a total of approximately $4.8 Million of outstanding loans and accounts payable into capital stock of our company based on $2.50 per share.

        As of August 31, 2005, we had cash resources of approximately $2.1 Million, total liabilities of approximately $320,000 and a working capital position of approximately $2 Million.

2005 Private Placement

        In late August 2005, the Company completed a private placement of 1,000,038 shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $3.90 per share. Bathgate Capital Partners of Denver, Colorado was the Placement Agent for this private offering, and we received net proceeds of $3,387,024 after payment of commissions and other offering expenses.

SEDA Financing Agreement

        In August 2005, the Company entered into a Standby Equity Distribution Agreement (SEDA) with Cornell Capital Partners, LP of Jersey City, New Jersey. Under the terms of this SEDA financing facility, Cornell committed to purchase up to $15 Million of common stock of the Company over a period of 24 months. The 24-month period of the SEDA facility begins upon the completion by the Company of an effective registration of such common stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission to permit the resale of these shares by Cornell. The Company is only obligated to sell its common stock to Cornell when and if the Company decides to draw upon this SEDA facility.

        The Company has the right to request Cornell to purchase installments of the SEDA facility in an amount of up to $500,000 until the $15 Million has been provided to the Company or the 24-month term has expired, provided that each stock purchase request by the Company must be at least five trading days after any prior stock purchase by Cornell. Cornell will pay the Company a purchase price equal to 96% of the market price of its common stock, which is defined as the volume weighted average public trading price of the common stock during the five consecutive trading days after each SEDA installment purchase by Cornell. Cornell will receive cash compensation of 4% of the gross proceeds of each SEDA installment advance to the Company.

        The Company has paid Cornell a commitment fee for this SEDA facility through the issuance to Cornell of 133,333 shares of common stock of the Company, and the Company also granted Cornell a warrant to purchase 1,750,000 common shares of the Company at $4.60 per share over a three-year term.

Production Inventory Financing

        In October 2005, we entered into a Secured Inventory Financing Agreement with one of our principal shareholders as the Lender. This agreement provides us with production inventory financing up to $800,000, which has enabled us to order and pay for substantial purchases of components and supplies for our upcoming commercial production operations. We have utilized $100,000 of this inventory financing to date.

        Under this agreement, the Lender is secured with a first position against all Viper motorcycle parts and components and finished goods inventory. To obtain this inventory financing, we will pay the Lender monthly interest of 2% of the average monthly outstanding amount owed by us. Under this agreement, we have established a special bank account for all funds borrowed from the Lender, which account must be used only to pay vendors providing motorcycle components for commercial production. If this agreement is still effective when we commence commercial shipments to dealers, we must deposit 80% of payments we receive for our motorcycles into the special bank account.

        The initial term of the financing agreement is three months, and it has a provision for a three-month extension providing the Lender has consented. In the event this inventory financing facility is not renewed upon its expiration, we expect to repay the Lender by drawing upon our SEDA financing facility with Cornell Capital Partners.

Risk Factors

        Our business and any related investment in our common stock or other securities involves many significant risks. Any person evaluating our company and its business should carefully consider the following risks and uncertainties in addition to other information in this registration statement. Our business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed due to one or more of the following risks.

Because of our development status and the nature of our business, our securities are highly speculative.


11



Table of Contents

        Our securities are speculative and involve a high degree of risk, generally because of our being in the development stage. Until and unless we emerge from the development stage, we will not generate any material commercial revenues from our operations. Moreover, we do not expect to realize any material profits from our operations in the short term. Any profitability in the future from our business will be dependent upon realizing production and sales of our motorcycle products in material commercial quantities, which there is no assurance will ever happen. Since we will not generate any material revenues for some time, we will need to raise substantial additional financing through the sale of our equity securities or debt in order to continue our business operations after expending the funds currently available to us.

We have a limited operating history primarily involved in product development, and we have not generated any commercial revenues to date or attained any profitable operations. We will continue to need substantial additional financing to fund our operations and activities.

        From our inception in late 2002 through August 31, 2005, we have experienced cumulative losses of approximately $12.6 Million, and we will continue to incur losses until we produce and sell our motorcycle products in sufficient volume to attain profitability, which there is no assurance will ever happen. Our operations are particularly subject to the many risks inherent in the early stages of a development enterprise and the uncertainties arising from the lack of a commercial operating history. There can be no assurance that our business plan will prove successful.

        As a result of the completion of our recent private placement of securities in August 2005, we believe we now have sufficient funds to satisfy our estimated cash requirements until at least our planned commencement of commercial production and sales of our products in the summer of 2006. We will then need to raise additional financing to support commercial operations after emerging from our development stage.

Our business plan will encounter serious delays or even result in failure if we are unable to obtain significant additional financing when needed, since we are required to make significant and continuing expenditures to satisfy our future business plan.

        Our ability to become commercially successful will depend largely on our being able to continue raising significant additional financing. If we are unable to obtain additional financing as needed, we would not be able to emerge from our development stage which eventually would result in a failure of our business. We have no cash flow from our business, and for at least the next twelve months we will be dependent for funds primarily through sale of our equity securities.

        Although we expect to obtain necessary future financing for commercial operations by drawing upon a $15 Million standby equity commitment we hold from an investment firm, we cannot be assured that we can access all needed funding on that basis because of its reliance upon factors such as the public market demand for our common stock and the state of financial markets generally.

Our ability to generate future revenues will depend upon a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control.

        These factors include the rate of acceptance of our motorcycle products, competitive pressures in our industry, effectiveness of our independent dealer network, adapting to changes in the motorcycle industry, and general economic trends. We cannot forecast accurately what our revenues will be in future periods.

We have very limited experience in commercial production or sales of our products.


12



Table of Contents

        As a development stage company, our operations have been limited primarily to designing and developing our products, testing them after development, establishing our initial distribution network of independent dealers, obtaining suppliers for our components, outsourcing future production of certain components, and reorganizing our company. These past activities only provide a limited basis to assess our ability to commercialize our motorcycle products successfully.

We have limited experience in manufacturing motorcycle products.

        Our motorcycles must be designed and manufactured to meet high quality standards in a cost-effective manner. Because of our lack of experience in manufacturing operations, we may have difficulty in timely producing motorcycle products in a volume sufficient to cover orders from our dealers. Any material manufacturing delays could frustrate dealers and their customers and lead to a negative perception of Viper products or our company. If we are unable to manufacture effectively in terms of quality, timing and cost, our ability to generate revenues and profits will be impaired.

We depend upon a limited number of outside suppliers for our key motorcycle parts and components.

        Our heavy reliance upon outside vendors and suppliers for our components involves risk factors such as limited control over prices, timely delivery and quality control. We have no written agreements to ensure continued supply of parts and components. Although alternate suppliers are available for our key components, any material changes in our suppliers could cause material delays in production and increase production costs. Since we have only produced a limited number of development stage motorcycles, we are unable to determine whether our suppliers will be able to timely supply us with commercial production needs.

        Our inability to obtain timely delivery of quality components, or our loss or interruption of services of one or more of our component suppliers, or any material increases in the cost of our components, could result in material production delays and reductions in our motorcycle shipments, which could seriously impair our ability to generate revenues.

We will be highly dependent upon our Viper distribution network of independent motorcycle dealers.

        We depend upon our Viper dealers to sell our products and promote our brand image. If our dealers are unable to sell and promote our products effectively, our business will be harmed seriously. We currently have agreements with only sixteen dealers. We must continue to recruit and expand our dealer base to satisfy our projected revenues. If we fail to timely obtain new dealers or maintain our relationship with existing dealers effectively, we could be unable to achieve sufficient sales to support our operations.

        Our dealers are not required to sell our products on an exclusive basis and also are not required to purchase any minimum quantity of Viper products. The failure of dealers to generate sales of our products effectively would impair our operations seriously and could cause our business to fail.

        We also depend upon our dealers to service Viper motorcycles. Any failure of our dealers to provide satisfactory repair services to purchasers of Viper products could lead to a negative perception of the quality and reliability of our products.

Sales of Viper motorcycles are substantially dependent upon our ability to provide and maintain a source of reliable "floor plan" financing to our dealers.

        We have a significant agreement with a leading financial institution to provide floor plan financing to our dealers for their purchase of Viper products. Under this floor plan facility, we will receive payment for our motorcycles upon their shipment to our dealers. If we are unable to continue effective floor plan financing for our dealers, they would have to pay cash or obtain other financing to purchase Viper products, which most likely would result in substantially lower sales of our products, and lack of sufficient cash flow to support our business.

We will face significant challenges in obtaining market acceptance of Viper products and establishing our Viper brand.

        Our success depends primarily on the acceptance of our products and the Viper brand by motorcycle purchasers and enthusiasts. Virtually all potential customers are not familiar with or have not seen or driven Viper motorcycles. Acceptance of our products by motorcyclists will depend on many factors including price, reliability, styling, performance, uniqueness, service accessibility, and our ability to overcome existing loyalties to competing products.

Our business model of selling Viper motorcycles to upscale purchasers at premium prices may not be successful.

        Sales of our premium motorcycle products are targeted toward a limited number of upscale purchasers willing to pay a higher price for Viper products. Suggested retail prices of our motorcycles will be considerably higher than most cruiser models of our competitors. If we are unable to attract and obtain sufficient motorcyclists willing to pay the higher prices of our products, our business model would not succeed and our business would likely fail.

We may experience significant returns or warranty claims.

        Since we have no history of commercial sales of our products, we have no data regarding the performance or maintenance requirements of Viper products. Accordingly, we have no basis on which we can currently predict warranty costs. If we experience significant warranty service requirements or product recalls, potential customers may not purchase our products. Any significant warranty service requirements or product recalls would increase our costs substantially and likely reduce the value of our brand.

Our exposure to product liability claims could harm us seriously.

        Given the nature of motorcycle products, we expect to encounter product liability claims against us from time to time for personal injury or property damage. If such claims become substantial, our brand and reputation would be harmed seriously. These claims also could require us to pay substantial damage awards, including punitive damages.

        Although we intend to obtain adequate product liability insurance, we may be unable to obtain coverage at a reasonable cost or in a sufficient amount to cover future losses from product liability claims. Any successful claim against us for uninsured liabilities or in excess of insured liabilities would most likely harm our business seriously.

Our success will be substantially dependent upon our current key employees and our ability to attract, recruit and retain additional key employees.

        Our success depends upon the efforts of our current executive officers and other key employees, and the loss of the services of one or more of them could impair our growth materially. If we are unable to retain current key employees, or to hire and retain additional qualified key personnel when needed, our business and operations would be adversely affected substantially. We do not have "key person" insurance covering any of our employees, and we only have one written employment agreement with a key employee.

Table of Contents

Our success depends substantially on our ability to protect our intellectual property rights, and any failure to protect these rights would be harmful to us.

        The future growth and success of our business will depend materially on our ability to protect our trademarks, trade names and any future patent rights, and to preserve our trade secrets. We hold trademark rights including our logo design and the use of our "Viper" brand for motorcycle products, and we have applied for certain additional trademark protection. There is no assurance, however, that any future or current trademark registrations will result in a registered and protectable trademark. Moreover, there is no assurance that other users of the Viper or Diablo mark will not challenge our brands. If one or more challenges against us are successful, we could be forced to discontinue use of our motorcycle brands, which would cause serious harm to our business and brand image.

        We are in the process of applying for various patents covering unique features of both our motorcycles and our V-Twin engines, but we do not expect to obtain any significant patent protection. We will rely mainly upon trade secrets, proprietary know-how, and continuing technological innovation to compete in our market. There is no assurance that our competitors will not independently develop technologies equal to or similar to ours, or otherwise obtain access to our technology or trade secrets. Our competitors also could obtain patent rights that could prevent, limit or interfere with our ability to manufacture and market our products. Third parties also may assert infringement claims against us in the future, which could cause us to incur costly litigation to protect and defend our intellectual property rights. Moreover, if we are judged to have infringed rights of others, we may have to pay substantial damages and discontinue use of the infringing product or process unless they are re-designed to avoid the infringement. Any claim of infringement against us would involve substantial expenditures and divert the time and effort of our management materially.

We will face intense competition from existing motorcycle manufacturers already well established and having much greater customer loyalty and financial, marketing, manufacturing and personnel resources than us.

        In our premium heavyweight motorcycle market, our main competitor is Harley-Davidson Inc. which dominates the market for V-Twin cruiser motorcycles. Other significant competitors include Suzuki, Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Ducati, Triumph, BMW, Moto Guzzi and Polaris with its Victory motorcycle line. We also face particularly direct competition from a number of V-Twin custom cruiser manufacturers concentrating on the same upscale market niche where we are situated, including Big Dog, American IronHorse, Titan, Bourget’s Bike Works and others. Additional competition exists from the numerous small companies and individuals throughout the country which build "one-off" custom cruisers from non-branded parts and components available from third parties. We also expect additional competitors to emerge from time to time in the future. There is no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors.

Introduction of new models of motorcycles by our competitors could materially reduce demand for our products.

        Products offered in our industry often change significantly due to product design and performance advances, safety and environmental factors, or changing tastes of motorcyclists. Our future success will depend materially on our ability to anticipate and respond to these changes. If we cannot introduce acceptable new models on a regular basis or if our new models fail to compete effectively with those of our competitors, Our ability to generate revenues or achieve profitability would be impaired substantially.

Purchase of recreational motorcycles is discretionary for consumers, and market demand for them is influenced by factors beyond our control.


15



Table of Contents

        Viper motorcycles represent luxury consumer products and accordingly market demand for them depends on a number of economic factors affecting discretionary consumer income. These factors are beyond our control and include employment levels, interest rates, taxation rates, consumer confidence levels, and general economic conditions. Adverse changes in one or more of these factors may restrict discretionary consumer spending for our products and thus harm our growth and profitability.

        Viper motorcycles also must compete with other powersport and recreational products for the discretionary spending of consumers.

Our business is subject to seasonality which may cause our quarterly operating results to fluctuate materially.

        Motorcycle sales generally are seasonal in nature since consumer demand is substantially lower during colder seasons in North America. We may endure periods of reduced revenues and cash flows during off-season periods, requiring us to lay off or terminate employees from time to time. Seasonal fluctuations in our business could cause material volatility in the public market price of our common stock.

When we sell our products in international markets, we will encounter additional factors which could increase our cost of selling our products and impair our ability to achieve profitability from foreign business.

        Our marketing strategy includes future sales of Viper products internationally, which will subject our business to additional regulations and other factors varying from country to country. These matters include export requirement regulations, foreign environmental and safety requirements, marketing and distribution factors, and the effect of currency fluctuations. We also will be affected by local economic conditions in international markets as well as the difficulties related to managing operations from long distances. There is no assurance we will be able to successfully market and sell Viper products in foreign countries.

We must comply with numerous environmental and safety regulations.

        Our business is governed by numerous federal and state regulations governing environmental and safety matters with respect to motorcycle products and their use. These many regulations generally relate to air, water and noise pollution and to motorcycle safety matters. Compliance with these regulations could increase our production costs, delay introduction of our products and substantially impair our ability to generate revenues and achieve profitability.

        Use of motorcycles in the United States is subject to rigorous regulation by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and by state pollution control agencies. Any failure by us to comply with applicable environmental requirements of the EPA or relevant state agencies could subject us to administratively or judicially imposed sanctions including civil penalties, criminal prosecution, injunctions, product recalls or suspension of production.

        Motorcycles and their use are also subject to safety standards and rules promulgated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). We could suffer harmful recalls of our motorcycles if they fail to satisfy applicable safety standards administered by the NHTSA.

We do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our common stock.

        We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

The price of our common stock may be volatile and fluctuate significantly in our over-the-counter trading market, and an investor’s shares could decline in value.

        Our common stock trades in the over-the-counter (OTC) market, and has not experienced a very active trading market. There is no assurance a more active trading market for our common stock will ever develop, or be sustained if it emerges. Unless an active trading market is developed for our common stock, it will be difficult for shareholders to sell our common stock at any particular price or when they wish to make such sales.

        The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly, making it difficult for any investor to resell our common stock at an attractive price or on reasonable terms. Market prices for securities of development stage companies such as us have historically been highly volatile due to many factors not affecting more established companies. Moreover, any failure by us to meet estimates of financial analysts is likely to cause a decline in the market price of our common stock.

Our current management and principal shareholders control our company, and they may make material decisions with which other shareholders disagree.

        Our executive officers and directors and principal shareholders affiliated with them own a substantial majority of our outstanding capital stock. As a result, these persons acting as a group have the ability to control transactions requiring stockholder approval, including the election or removal of directors, significant mergers or other business combinations, changes in control of our company, and any significant acquisitions or dispositions of assets.

Additional shares of our authorized capital stock which are issued in the future will decrease the percentage equity ownership of existing shareholders, could also be dilutive to existing shareholders, and could also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of our company.

        Under our Articles of Incorporation, we are authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Our board of directors has the sole authority to issue remaining authorized capital stock without further shareholder approval. To the extent that additional authorized preferred or common shares are issued in the future, they will decrease existing shareholders’ percentage equity ownership and, depending upon the prices at which they are issued, could be dilutive to existing shareholders.

        Issuance of additional authorized shares of our capital stock also could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of our company without requiring any action by our shareholders, particularly if such shares are used to dilute the stock ownership or voting rights of a person seeking control of our company.

Item 3. Description of Property

        The Company does not own any real estate. All development, production, marketing and administrative operations of the Company are conducted from its suburban Minneapolis leased facilities of 13,365 square feet. For these facilities, the Company pays monthly rental of $6,106 plus common area maintenance under a lease expiring in June 2006.

        The Company owns considerable development and production equipment, computer and office equipment, and business vehicles, all of which have cost it approximately $350,000 since its inception in November 2002.

Item 7. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

        The promoters of the Company are John Lai and John Silseth II. They received a total of 120,000 shares of common stock of the Company, 60,000 shares apiece, in November 2002 incident to their services relating to the initial incorporation and organization of the Company. These shares were valued at $.40 per share at the time of their issuance.

        Following are any material transactions over the past two years between the Company and any of its promoters, directors, executive officers, and principal shareholders:

Private Placements

        In connection with various private placements of common stock, related parties have purchased substantial amounts of the Company’s placements on the same terms as unrelated persons. Related party sales have included a total of 70,000 common shares at $2.00 per share in a June-December 2003 placement, a total of 136,212 common shares at $2.50 per share in a February-March 2005 placement, and a total of 186,937 common shares at $3.90 per share in a June-August 2005 placement.

Loans From Related Parties

        From December 2003 through August 2004, David Palmlund III, a principal shareholder, loaned the Company a total of $2 Million, for which he received various notes bearing interest rates from 10% to 35% and having maturity dates from August 2004 to September 2005. All of this Palmlund debt was outstanding as of December 31, 2004. Except for $150,000 of a Series A Convertible Secured Note, incident to our early 2005 reorganization, Mr. Palmlund converted all of this debt, including accrued interest, at $2.50 per share into 740,000 shares of preferred stock of the Company and 64,635 common shares of the Company.

Table of Contents

        Since its inception, from time to time five other related parties have made substantial cash advances or loans to the Company for working capital purposes. These related party lenders have included an executive officer, two directors and two principal shareholders. For these loans, they received unsecured notes paying interest at 8% per annum. As of December 31, $673,237 of such related party debt was outstanding, including accrued interest. In the early 2005 reorganization of the Company, all of these outstanding 8% notes and their accrued interest were converted into common shares of the Company at $2.50 per share.

Reorganization Debt Conversions

        During its early 2005 reorganization, the Company converted a total of $4,770,879 of outstanding debt and liabilities into its capital stock on the basis of $2.50 per share. These reorganization debt conversions included a total of $3,476,547 owed to related parties, consisting of outstanding loans and interest thereon of $2,694,418, accounts payable and accrued compensation of $344,629, and $437,500 to settle and terminate an employment contract with a former officer.

Consulting Compensation

        During 2003, 2004 and 2005, we paid cash compensation to Racing Partners Management Inc., a corporation wholly owned by John R. Silseth II (a founder and principal shareholder of the Company) for consulting services related to motorcycle development, procurement of third party suppliers, and creation of an assembly manufacturing system. These consulting expenses included $55,000 in 2003, $36,000 in 2004 and $85,000 for the first ten months of 2005.

Common Stock Issued for Services

        In December 2003 the Company issued 25,000 shares of its common stock to Garry Lowenthal, a principal shareholder, for services valued at $2.50 per share or a total of $62,500. Incident thereto, the Company also granted Mr. Lowenthal a stock option to purchase 75,000 common shares at $2.00 per share over a five-year term.

        In December 2004, the Company granted a total of 189,700 shares of its common stock to various employees as additional compensation for past services rendered to the Company based on $2.50 per share, which grants included 125,000 shares issued to Terry Nesbitt, Vice President of the Company.

Item 5. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

        The Nevada Revised Statutes provide that the Company may indemnify its officers and directors for costs and expenses incurred in connection with the defense of actions, suits or other proceedings where the officer or director acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed by the officer or director to be in the Company’s best interest and the officer or director is a party by reason of his or her status with the Company, unless the officer or director was found negligent or conducting misconduct in the performance of duty.

        Insofar as indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors and officers under Nevada law or otherwise, the Company understands that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Viper Powersports, Inc.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Viper Powersports, Inc. and subsidiaries as of August 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the eight months ended August 31, 2005, the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the period from November 18, 2002 (inception) to August 31, 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1.    NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Viper Powersports Inc. was incorporated in Nevada in 1980 under a different name, and was inactive for years. On March 31, 2005 the Company was recapitalized through a merger with Viper Motorcycle Company, a Minnesota corporation. The former shareholders of Viper Motorcycle Company acquired 93.5% of the capital stock of Viper Powersports Inc. in exchange for all of the capital stock of Viper Motorcycle Company. This transaction was effected as a reverse merger for financial statement and operational purposes, and accordingly Viper Powersports Inc. regards its inception as being the incorporation of Viper Motorcycle Company on November 18, 2002. (See Note 4 — Recapitalization). Upon completion of this reverse merger, Viper Motorcycle Company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Viper Powersports Inc.

The stock exchange in this reverse merger was effected on a one-for-one basis, resulting in each shareholder of Viper Motorcycle Company receiving the same number and type of capital stock of Viper Powersports Inc. which they held in Viper Motorcycle Company prior to the merger.

Viper Performance Inc., also a wholly-owned subsidiary of Viper Powersports Inc., was incorporated in Minnesota in March 2005 for the purpose of receiving and holding engine development technology and related assets acquired by Viper Powersports Inc. These assets were acquired from Thor Performance Inc., a Minnesota corporation in March 2005 in exchange for 2,996,575 shares of common stock of Viper Powersports Inc. (See Note 3 — Purchase of Engine Development Technology.)

As used herein, the term “the Company” refers to “Viper Powersports Inc.”, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise.

The Company is a development stage company engaged in design and development of premium V-Twin cruiser motorcycles. The Company has sold its capital stock and debt securities in various private placements to fund its development, marketing and other operations. The Company also has issued substantial shares of its common stock to compensate officers and other employees, consultants, and vendors, and to satisfy outstanding debt and other obligations. The Company continues to rely upon loans and sales of its equity securities to fund current operations. The Company’s executive and administrative offices, and its engineering and development operations, are located in a 13,365 square foot facility in suburban Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Principles of Consolidation – The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Viper Powersports Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1.    NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

Debt Conversions – During early 2005, Viper Motorcycle Company substantially reorganized its financial position by converting a total of $4,770,879 of its debt, including accounts payable and accrued liabilities and loans, into capital stock of the Company on the basis of $2.50 per share. Outstanding debt in the amount of $2,813,379 was converted into 1,125,354 shares of common stock and $1,957,500 was converted into 783,000 shares of preferred stock.

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Loss Per Share – Basic and diluted net loss per common share is computed using the net loss applicable to common shareholders and the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share does not differ from basic net loss per common share since potential shares of common stock from conversion of debt and the exercise of warrants and options are anti-dilutive for all periods presented.

Inventories – Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method (FIFO). Demonstration motorcycles are stated at manufacturing cost and reserves are recorded to state the demonstration motorcycles at net realizable value. The Company reviews inventory for obsolescence and excess quantities to determine that items deemed obsolete or excess are appropriately reserved.

Property and Equipment – Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are 3 to 7 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized straight line over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life of the asset.

Impairment of Long Lived Assets – The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment annually or more frequently if the occurrence of events or changes in circumstances indicates that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable or the useful lives of the assets are no longer appropriate. Each impairment test is based on a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net undiscounted cash flows. If impairment is indicated, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value on a discounted cash flow basis.

1.    NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

Revenue Recognition – The Company conducts its sales through a network of independent dealers, and the Company recognizes revenue for sales to dealers after the following has taken place:

  * Motorcycles are delivered, which is at the time they are shipped;

  * Title of the motorcycle passes to the dealer, generally at the time of shipment;

  * Collection of the relevant receivable is probable;

  * Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; and

  * The sales price is fixed or determinable.

The Company’s dealer agreement provides that the dealer has no right of return unless the Company authorizes the return.

Warranty – The Company provides warranty coverage for its motorcycles with unlimited miles within a one year period from date of purchase, including parts and labor necessary to repair the motorcycle during the warranty period.

A provision for the costs related to warranty expense will be recorded as a charge to cost of goods sold when revenue is recognized. The estimated warranty cost will be based on industry averages and the stage of production life cycle of the Company’s motorcycles. The warranty reserve will be evaluated on an ongoing basis to ensure its adequacy.

Research and Development – Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Assets that are required for research and development activities, and have alternative future uses, in addition to its current use, are included in equipment and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Research and development costs consist primarily of salaries and other compensation for development and engineering personnel, contract engineering and development costs for outsourced projects, equipment and material costs for development activities, and expenses for regulatory compliance and certifications.

Income Taxes – Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred income taxes, if any, are recognized for the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. Deferred income taxes, if any, will be recorded at the tax rates expected to be in effect when amounts are to be included in future taxable income. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amounts believed to be realizable. Due to the uncertainty regarding the Company’s future profitability, the future tax benefits of its losses have been fully reserved and no net tax benefit has been recorded in these financial statements.

1.    NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

Fair Value of Financial Instruments – The carrying values of balance sheet financial instruments approximates their fair values as the debt and assets were incurred and acquired recently. These financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, notes payables and indebtedness to related parties. Management is of the opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, credit or currency risks arising from these financial instruments.

Stock Options and Stock Based Compensation – The Company has elected to expense options granted to its employees under the provisions of SFAS 123 (Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation) with respect to employee stock options. There were no options issued from inception through December 31, 2003.

The fair values of the employee stock options granted during the year ending December 31, 2004 and for the eight months ending August 31, 2005 were $29,863 and $497,700 respectively. The fair values of these option grants were determined using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: a risk-free interest rate of 4.25%, an expected life of five years, 18% volatility, and no expected dividend yield.

The Company also issued common stock for services to employees, certain contractors and financing companies. As such, common stock granted during the year ending December 31, 2004 and for the eight months ending August 31, 2005 were $1,301,783 and $749,865 respectively.

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employees for services and goods under SFAS 123; EITF 96-18 (Accounting for Equity Instruments Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods and Services); and EITF 00-18 (Accounting Recognition for Certain Transactions Involving Equity Instruments Granted to other than Employees.) Generally, the equity instruments issued for services or goods are for common shares or common stock purchase warrants. These shares or warrants are fully vested, non-forfeitable and fully paid or exercisable at the date of grant and require no future performance commitment by the recipient. The Company expenses the fair market value of these securities over the period in which the Company receives the related services.

Dealer Floor Plan Financing – In May 2003, the Company entered into a floor plan financing agreement with GE Commercial Distribution Finance Corporation (CDF) to establish a financing facility for the Company’s independent dealers. Under this agreement, the Company submits an invoice to CDF describing the merchandise it ships to a dealer when the dealer requests floor plan financing from CDF. If CDF accepts the obligation to finance the merchandise, CDF pays the Company 97.6% to 100% of the amount invoiced. The Company must provide to CDF certain covenants when invoices are submitted for floor plan financing, relating to the bona fide nature of the order, title and saleability of the merchandise being financed.

1.    NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

Dealer Floor Plan Financing (Continued) – Dealers of the Company also must each qualify independently with CDF to obtain financing through this facility, and CDF must accept each financing transaction prior to CDF being obligated to finance the merchandise. CDF’s obligation is also subject to certain conditions including delivery of the merchandise by the Company to the dealer within 30 days of CDF’s acceptance, receipt by CDF of the invoice within 10 days shipment to the dealer, and no revocation of CDF’s acceptance prior to shipment of the merchandise.

If CDF deems it necessary to repossess any merchandise financed by CDF, the Company must repurchase the merchandise from CDF at the greater of the unpaid balance on such merchandise or the Company’s original invoice price, regardless of the condition of the merchandise. The Company also must pay any expenses incurred by CDF relating to any repossession.

Either party upon 30 days written notice may terminate the Company’s floor plan financing facility with CDF anytime, and CDF may terminate the agreement anytime upon an event of default by the Company.

2.    EQUITY FINANCING AGREEMENTS

The Company incurred a net loss of $3,542,250, $5,761,208 and $12,647,805, for the eight month period ending August 31, 2005, the year ending December 31, 2004 and the period from inception (November 18, 2002) through August 31, 2005, respectively. Viper produced 25 motorcycles in 2004 as a “Development Stage Company” while producing only one bike per dealer (considered a “one-time” R&D production on the new bike).  The current business plan is to commence commercial production in the second quarter 2006.  No additional capital infusion will be required to start commercial production of motorcycles and engines.

The Company has completed the following financing transactions to fund the anticipated cash flow shortfall. On August 31, 2005 the Company completed a private placement of 1,000,038 shares at $3.90 per share resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $3,387,205. On August 26, 2005 the Company also entered into an agreement with Cornell Capital Partners, LP for a Standby Equity Distribution Agreement (“SEDA”) which enables the Company to draw down up to $500,000 per equity request, every five days. This equity capital infusion allows the Company to sell up to $15,000,000 in equity over a 24 month period. The Company must register its Common Stock under a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission prior to the agreement becoming effective. Cornell will receive cash compensation of 4% of the gross proceeds of each stock sale made by the Company under this SEDA facility.

2.    EQUITY FINANCING AGREEMENTS (Continued)

To obtain this SEDA facility, the Company issued 133,333 shares of its common stock to Cornell and also granted Cornell stock purchase warrants to purchase 1,750,000 common shares of the Company exercisable over a three-year period at $4.60 per share. The Company also issued 1,587 shares of its Common stock to Monitor Capital, Inc, who acted as Placement Agent for the SEDA facility.

3.    PURCHASE OF ENGINE DEVELOPMENT TECHNOLOGY

Effective March 31, 2005, Viper Powersports Inc., acquired substantial motorcycle engine technology and related assets from Thor Performance Inc., a Minnesota corporation. These assets were acquired in exchange for 2,996,575 shares of common stock of Viper Powersports Inc. issued to Thor Performance, Inc. The Company valued the engine development technology at $2.50 per share and capitalized $7,341,437 for the value of the motorcycle engine development. This motorcycle development was designed and developed over the past 6 to 7 years by Melling Consultancy Design (MCD), an engine development firm based in the United Kingdom, which has previously designed both motorcycle and auto racing engines.
