BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
Viper Powersports Inc. is the successor to ECCO Capital Corporation (“ECCO”) which was incorporated in Nevada in 1980 under a former name. ECCO ceased all active operations in 2001 and remained inactive until its 2005 reverse acquisition through a stock exchange of Viper Motorcycle Company, a Minnesota corporation, when ECCO changed its name to Viper Powersports Inc. Viper Powersports Inc. acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Viper Motorcycle Company, resulting in Viper Motorcycle Company becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Viper Powersports Inc. This reverse acquisition resulted in the former shareholders of Viper Motorcycle Company acquiring approximately 94% of the combined entity.
Viper Performance Inc., also a wholly-owned subsidiary of Viper Powersports Inc., was incorporated in Minnesota in 2005 for the purpose of receiving and holding engine development technology also acquired by Viper Powersports Inc. in 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, we have been engaged in designing, developing and commencing commercial marketing and production of premium custom heavyweight V-Twin motorcycles popularly known as “cruisers”, as well as a premium innovative proprietary V-Twin engine to power our Viper cruisers. Viper motorcycles are being 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 consistent demand for upscale or luxury motorcycle products like our American-styled classic Viper cruisers and our premium Viper engines. For example, the prestigious upscale Robb Report magazine publishes a Robb Report Motorcycling magazine which is devoted primarily toward luxury motorcycle products.
We have completed development and extensive testing of our proprietary V-Twin engines including substantial performance use of these engines with our Viper motorcycle models, and we have been very satisfied with their performance while powering our cruisers in all kinds of street and highway running conditions. Our proprietary V-Twin engines were designed and developed by Melling Consultancy Design (MCD), a leading professional engine design and development firm based in England.
After undergoing an extensive engine emissions testing program for an entire year conducted by a leading independent test laboratory in 2009, our proprietary V-Twin engines satisfactorily passed and complied with all noise and pollution emissions requirements of both the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the more stringent emissions requirements of the California Air Resources Board (CARB). Satisfying these standards constitutes a touchstone achievement for the Company that we believe places us in a commanding competitive position in the upscale custom motorcycle market.
We have commenced commercial marketing, very limited production and commercial shipment of Viper motorcycles, and we currently hold material orders from our Viper dealer base of ten first class motorcycle dealers.
Strategic Engine Development Joint Venture
In January 2010, the Company’s subsidiary, Viper Motorcycle Company, entered into a three-year Motorcycle Engine Manufacture and Supply Agreement with Ilmor Engineering Inc. (the “Ilmor/Viper Contract”). Ilmor Engineering Inc. (“Ilmor”) has been engaged for over 20 years in the design, development and manufacture of high-performance engines, and Ilmor’s extensive precision engineering and manufacturing facilities are located in suburban Detroit, Michigan. The Company is very pleased to have completed this strategic and valuable Ilmor/Viper Contract, since Ilmor is widely recognized as one of the most successful race-engine design and manufacturers.
Under a previous written contract entered into by Ilmor and Viper in May 2009, Ilmor began assembling all V-Twin engines used by Viper, and since then Ilmor has conducted all of the Company’s engine product assembly. The initial May 2009 contract also contained a product development segment whereby Ilmor evaluated our V-Twin engine to determine whether the parties should engage in a future joint venture to develop and produce an upgraded model of the Viper engine. Ilmor’s evaluation of our V-Twin engine through the initial contract was favorable, and accordingly resulted in the current Ilmor/Viper Contract, which provides for the exclusive manufacture and supply by Ilmor of a Viper engine designed by Ilmor.
Under the Ilmor/Viper Contract, Ilmor has assumed all design, development, testing, quality control and manufacturing with respect to an upgraded Ilmor-designed Viper V-Twin engine. Ilmor has completed design and development operations and is now producing commerical models of this engine based on specifications jointly developed by Ilmor and Viper. Under a payment schedule extending through November 2012, the Company will pay Ilmor a total of $745,000 for the design, development and testing of this V-Twin engine.
The Company is well satisfied with the final version of the Ilmor-designed Viper engine, and has been receiving commercial shipments of these engines since May 2010. Ilmor agrees to manufacture and supply all V-Twin requirements of Viper and in turn Viper must purchase all its engines exclusively from Ilmor. Ilmor will bear the cost and expense of all tooling, parts and components to manufacture and supply Viper engines until finished engines are invoiced and shipped to the Company. So long as Viper satisfies certain minimum annual engine purchase requirements, Ilmor shall not develop, manufacture or sell a similar V-Twin engine for itself or any third party.
These Ilmor-designed Viper engines will be labeled with an Ilmor brand, for which the Company has been granted a non-exclusive paid-up license to use the Ilmor Mark in connection with sale and distribution of Viper engines. All intellectual property rights related to any Ilmor Marks, however, continue to be owned exclusively by Ilmor. Engine pricing to be paid to Ilmor by Viper will be determined annually based on the actual Bill of Materials for components, labor and assembly costs incurred by Ilmor, plus a reasonable mark-up percentage.
Restructuring
The Company, on September 3, 2009, declared a reverse 1-for-4 stock split whereby each currently outstanding four shares of common stock of the Company were converted into one post-split share of common stock of the Company having the same par value of $.001 per share, and the effective date of the reverse stock split was September 15, 2009. Pursuant to this reverse stock split the authorized common shares of the Company were concurrently reduced to Twenty-five Million (25,000,000) common shares. We are currently in the process of increasing our authorized common shares to 100,000,000.
Corporate Contact Data
The address of the Company in suburban Minneapolis is 10895 Excelsior Boulevard – Suite 203, Hopkins, MN 55343; its telephone number is (952) 938-2481; and its website address is www.viperpowersports.com.
BUSINESS OF COMPANY
We develop and produce proprietary premium motorcycle products targeted to consumers who can afford to purchase upscale luxury products. Our current revenues are being generated from the sale of our Diamondback model cruisers. Additional anticipated sources of future revenues include our Mamba model almost completed, a touring “bagger” model and a three-wheeled “trike” model being designed, 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 motorcycle products, 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 acceptance by our dealers of our floor plan financing facility.
Our Market
Motorcycles are generally characterized in their industry by weight, primarily based on engine displacement size. Viper cruisers fall within the heavyweight motorcycle category which typically includes models with engine displacement of at least 651cc (cubic centimeters). There are generally four types of heavyweight motorcycles:
|
|
Standard, which emphasize simplicity and low cost (e.g., Harley Davidson Sportster);
|
|
|
Performance, which emphasize handling and speed (e.g., Ducati models);
|
|
|
Touring, which emphasize rider comfort and distance travel (e.g., Honda Gold Wing); and
|
|
|
Cruiser, designed to facilitate customization by owners (e.g., most Harley Davidson models)
|
Our Viper motorcycles are offered in the premium segment of the heavyweight cruiser market which is dominated by Harley Davidson. We believe that potential customers in this upscale market typically seek motorcycle models having a product and lifestyle appeal associated with the classic American V-Twin cruiser tradition. Our targeted customer base has expanded significantly for many years due to the growing popularity of motorcycling as well as the maturing 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. Harley Davidson has reported that the typical consumer of its heavyweight motorcycles is a married man in his mid-forties having an income in excess of $80,000. We believe that premium heavy-weight motorcycles have become popular and well-accepted luxury recreational products.
Our Motorcycles
Viper Diamondback
The Viper Diamondback 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 Diamondback to compare favorably to other premium cruisers.
Premium components and distinctive features of the Diamondback include:
|
|
a powerful, billet-cut proprietary 152” V-Twin engine;
|
|
|
our unique right-side drive train providing maximum rider balance;
|

|
The outward appearance of the Diamondback includes distinctive styling features such as:
|
|
substantial use of billet-cut components including the V-Twin engine, primary drive, controls and wheels;
|
|
|
oil storage in the frame, enabling a sleeker and more naked appearance due to absence of an under-seat oil tank and

Viper Mamba
We have almost completed development of the Viper “Mamba,” a sleek and low-slung pro-street model with unique and aggressive styling features. We believe the Mamba will appeal to motorcyclists desiring an aggressive 21st century look. We anticipate commencing commercial production and marketing of our Mamba model during the second half of 2011.
Viper Proprietary Engines
We have completed development and commercial production of our innovative proprietary engine technology. All viper motorcycles feature this proprietary 152 cubic inch V-Twin engine. 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.
Sales and Marketing
We sell our motorcycles directly to our authorized Viper dealers. Our dealer network includes well-established, independent full-service dealers offering more than one motorcycle brand. We currently have ten (10) Viper dealers located nationwide, 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 complete 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 drive train maintenance and repair. They also must be able to perform custom upgrade work on cruisers. Viper dealers are granted 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.
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 selected motorcycle trade shows, and appear at popular motorcycle rallies such as Daytona and Sturgis. We also intend to institute material public relations efforts directed toward obtaining publication of articles on our company and its products in industry magazines and in newspapers and other publications available to the general public.
Dealer Floor Plan Financing
We have established a limited floor plan financing facility which we provide to our Viper Motorcycle dealers. Our dealer floor planning is self-financed by our Company through a bank line-of-credit guaranteed by a principal shareholder of the Company. We hold a UCC Financing Statement evidencing title in and to us for motorcycle products shipped under our floor plan facility, which will certify and cover our ownership of such products until sold to consumers by our dealers.
Design and Development
We are committed to a substantial ongoing design and development program to:
|
|
introduce improved and enhanced Viper motorcycle models on an annual basis;
|
|
|
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 in-house and outsourced 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 both through our in-house development department located in our Hopkins, MN facility along with selected professional independent designers and developers.
Manufacturing and Suppliers
Our manufacturing operations consist of in-house production of certain components and parts, assembly and polishing components, and conducting quality control of in-process and finished motorcycles. Motorcycle body, engine and electrical components and parts are outsourced for production to our specifications to various experienced manufacturers of motorcycle components, including engine components, fenders, gas tanks and electrical harnesses and wiring. Other key components are purchased off-the-shelf from various independent manufacturers and distributors mostly located in the United States, including brake and suspension systems, handlebars, transmissions and clutches, drive belts, ignition starters, seats, tires and wheels, panel indicators, lights and batteries. Components manufactured by us in-house include motorcycle frames. Painting of our motorcycles is outsourced to local painting companies skilled in custom motorcycle painting.
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. Periodic quality control inspections are conducted at various stages of our assembly operations. Finished motorcycles are subjected to performance testing under running conditions and to final quality inspection, including starting and operating each motorcycle by a dedicated test foreman.
Warranty Policy
We 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. 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. 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 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 and other 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. 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 for the use of the term Viper in connection with motorcycles and motorcycle products.
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 have filed certain patents relating to our V-Twin engines and certain other Viper motorcycle components with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. There is no assurance we will 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 patent infringement against us regarding our products.
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 have submitted our Viper cruisers and their V-Twin engines to the various applicable governmental agencies and have satisfied their certification requirements and standards. For this purpose, we retained a leading certified motorcycle testing lab. We expect to incur ongoing costs to continue complying 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. Effective December 2008 the Company received the Certificate of Conformity with the Clean Air Act of 1990 from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Employees
We currently employ 8 persons including our management, development, marketing and administrative personnel. We expect to hire 3 to 6 assembly and administrative personnel during 2011 to support our anticipated commercial production and sales of Viper cruisers. Other than these additional anticipated personnel, we do not anticipate needing any additional personnel during the next twelve months. None of our employees belongs to a labor union, and we consider our relationship with our employees to be good.
Item 2. Description of Property
The Company currently does not own any real estate. All development, production, marketing and administrative operations of the Company are conducted from its Hopkins, MN leased facilities.
Hopkins Facility
In October 2008, we relocated all of our operations and administration functions from Big Lake, MN to Hopkins, MN, a suburb of Minneapolis. We lease our current Hopkins facility under a written 3 year lease at a monthly rental of $7,900 not including utilities. The facility occupies 9,000 square feet in a modern one-story light industrial building. We believe our Hopkins facility is adequate to support all our administrative, development, production assembly and warehousing needs.
The Company owns development and production equipment, computer and office equipment, and business vehicles, all of which have cost approximately $498,153 since its inception in November 2002.
Pending Move to Auburn, Alabama
The Company is in the process of relocating its entire headquarters and manufacturing operations from Hopkins, Minnesota to Auburn, Alabama. When this move is completed, which is anticipated during the summer of 2011, the Company will lease and occupy a modern state-of-the-art facility in Auburn which is currently being upgraded and customized to suit all of our motorcycle development, marketing, production and administrative functions. This Auburn facility includes 63,000 square feet with ample future expansion capability. The Company has already received material support for this upcoming relocation from the City of Auburn and the State of Alabama. Moreover, we are very pleased with the warm reception and material support we have received from Auburn officials and citizenry.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
In January 2011, International Finance, LLC, as plaintiff, commenced a legal action against the Company, claiming that the Company owes the plaintiff approximately $98,000 in principal and accrued interest relating to a Promissory Note executed by the Company in 2007. The Company has answered this claim and denied any liability regarding this Promissory Note on the grounds primarily due to lack of consideration by the plaintiff. The Company will continue to defend and oppose this lawsuit.
Other than the foregoing legal action the Company is not a party to any material or administrative lawsuit, action or other legal proceeding, and the Company is not aware of any such threatened legal proceeding. Moreover, none of the property of the Company is subject to any pending or threatened legal proceeding. No director, officer, affiliate or shareholder of the Company is a party to any pending or threatened legal proceeding adverse to the Company, nor do any of these persons hold any material interest adverse to the Company.

The closing sales price of our common stock on May 4, 2011 was $.55 per share.
Reverse Stock Split
In September 2009, the Company affected a 1-for-4 reverse stock split whereby one post-split common share was issued for each four shares of common stock outstanding prior to the reverse split. All common share references in this annual report have been adjusted to reflect this reverse stock split.
Shareholders
As of May 13, 2011, there were 434 shareholders of record holding common stock of the Company.
Dividends
The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its common stock, and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans
The Company has no established equity compensation plans for the issuance of common stock as payment for employees, consultants or other parties. The Company has utilized its common stock for equity compensation from time to time on a transactional basis. In the future, the Company may establish some type of an equity compensation plan to provide incentive to current or future employees and others material to the Company’s business.
There were no issuer repurchases by the Company during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.
Equity Securities Sold by the Company
Following are all equity security transactions during the year ended December 31, 2010 involving sales not registered under the Securities Act of 1933:
Loan Transactions
The Company entered into seven 90-day loan agreements bearing interest at 12% per annum during the year ended December 31, 2010. These loans were not initially convertible.. Each agreement also required the Company to issue warrants to purchase the applicable number of shares of common stock at prices as described below. The Company performed a Black-Scholes valuation for each transaction. The call value was used to value the warrants issued. Once the warrants were valued, the relative fair value method was used to allocate the proceeds between the warrants and the loans. The difference in the face value of the loans and the proceeds assigned to the loans becomes a discount on the loans. These discounts are then accreted over the life of the loans, under a separate debt conversion agreement dated November 30, 2010, the loans were converted at $.75 per share and additional warrants were granted in which the note holder received 1 warrant for every 2 shares of stock issued upon conversion. These loans and accrued interest were converted on November 30, 1010 into common stock. Any remaining unamortized debt discount at the time of conversion has been accreted to financing cost.

Another noteholder had a $100,000 90 day note that existed at December 31, 2009. The loan was also converted on November 22, 2010, and the Noteholder received the same inducement warrants to convert as the above mentioned agreements.
The Company entered into a 90-day loan agreement and a 365-day loan agreement during the year ended December 31, 2010. These loans were convertible into common shares at $.75 and $.50; respectively, and carry a 12.0% interest rate. The agreement also requires the Company to issue warrants to purchase the applicable number of shares of common stock at $1.00 per share. The Company performed a Black-Scholes valuation for these transactions. The call value was used to value the warrants issued. Once the warrants were valued, the relative fair value method was used to allocate the proceeds between the warrants and the loans. The warrant values will be credited to the APIC-Warrant account. The difference in the face value of the loans and the proceeds assigned to the loans becomes a discount on the loans. These discounts are then accreted over the life of the loans. With the convertibility of these loans, a beneficial conversion feature is created. The effective conversion price is subtracted from the stock market price to determine the beneficial conversion feature per share. This is then multiplied by the number of warrants issued. This BCF value is then expensed immediately, since the loan can be immediately converted. The ninety day loan and accrued interest was converted on November 30, 2010. The 365-day loan was converted on December 30, 2010.

Forward-Looking Statements
This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements sometimes include the words “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “intend,” “continue,” “expect,” “anticipate” or other similar words. Statements expressing expectations regarding our future and projections we make relating to products, sales, revenues and earnings are typical of such statements.
All forward-looking statements are subject to the risks and uncertainties inherent in attempting to predict the future. Our actual results may differ materially from those projected, stated or implied in our forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including, but not limited to, our overall industry environment, customer and dealer acceptance of our products, effectiveness of our dealer network, failure to develop or commercialize new products, delay in the introduction of products, regulatory certification matters, production and/or quality control problems, warranty and/or product liability matters, competitive pressures, inability to raise sufficient working capital, general economic conditions and our financial condition.
Our forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made by us. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any such statements to reflect new circumstances or unanticipated events as they occur, and you are urged to review and consider all disclosures we make in this and other reports that discuss risk factors germane to our business.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Annual Report. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (US GAAP).
Results of Operations for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2010 Compared to the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2009.
Revenues. We reported revenue of $35,768 in 2010 compared to revenue of $342,282 in 2009 represented by the sale of motorcycles and motorcycle parts. There were fewer motorcycles sold in 2010 as the Company re-engineered its engine with Ilmor.
Gross Profit. Gross profit in 2010 was $728 representing the sale of one motorcycle and costs associated with low volumes of production. The gross profit for 2009 was a negative $89,587 representing increased cost with low volumes of production. The difference between 2009 and 2010 relates to labor associated with more bikes being produced and the additional costs related to the older engines in those older motorcycles.
Research and Development. Research and development costs were $758,107 in 2010 compared to $353,449 in 2009. The increased R&D costs in 2010 were due primarily to re-engineering expenses related to our contract with Ilmor Engineering to improve our V-Twin engine.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative costs decreased $123,605 to $1,781,081 in 2010 from $1,904,686 in 2009, due primarily to decreased professional fees, lower marketing cost and slightly decreased administrative expenses as we entered into increased production.
Loss from Impairment of Assets. The Company did experience impairment losses of $209,628 during 2010 due to the transition from a pre-production to a manufacturing company. There were no impairment losses in 2009.
Loss from Operations. Operational losses were $2,748,088 in 2010 compared to $2,347,722, for 2009. This increase in 2010 of $400,366 was due primarily to increased R&D expenditures related to our engine development joint venture with Ilmor Engineering as well as recognizing the impairment losses associated with the transition to a manufacturing company.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased by $169,684 to $268,775 in 2010 compared to $99,091 in 2009. The increase was due to interest incurred as a result of increased borrowing and not being able to convert the loans until late November.
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 during the next twelve months:
Continue commercializing the Diamondback & Mamba – Our primary focus during 2010 was to complete implementing and improving production operations for our motorcycle products to be manufactured by us effectively on a commercial scale. We have completed 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.
Continue Design and Development – We will complete development and testing of our Mamba model and a Viper three-wheeled “trike” in order to offer the Mamba commercially as soon as possible in 2011 and the “trike” soon there after.
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 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. We also will engage in ongoing advertising and promotional activities to develop and enhance the visibility of our Viper brand image.
Market and Sell Ancillary Viper Products – In 2010, 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 during 2011 we anticipate obtaining substantial revenues from Viper engine sales in this active aftermarket. We also will outsource production of ancillary Viper items from third-party suppliers including various motorcycle parts and accessories, apparel, and other Viper branded merchandise. For example, we have 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.
Relocation of Manufacturing operations - Viper Motorcycle Company has announced in a press release dated August 10, 2010 that it has plans to begin manufacturing motorcycles in Auburn, Alabama. The Company will move its operations from Hopkins, Minnesota to Auburn, Alabama as soon as possible with full production beginning in mid 2011. A brand new facility in the Auburn Technology Park West will become the new headquarters and production facility for Viper Motorcycle Company and we have entered into a lease to occupy these facilities when ready.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since our inception, we have financed our development, capital expenditures and working capital needs primarily through the sale and 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 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 $14.4 million through the sale of our common stock in private placements, and at least $6.7 million in loans from our management or principal shareholders.
We have also relied on satisfying substantial employee compensation, consulting fees, product development, marketing, administrative expenses and shareholder notes directly through issuance of our common stock. From inception through the end of 2010, we paid a total of approximately $8.1 million for such expenses with our capital stock.
Future Liquidity
Based on our current cash position, private placement subscriptions and anticipated revenues from product sales, we believe we will be able to fund our ongoing operations until at least the summer of 2011. To provide working capital and funding for increased motorcycle engine and component inventories to support anticipated growth thereafter, however, we will need to obtain substantial additional financing through loans and/or sales of our equity securities. Although we believe such additional financing will be available to us as needed, there is no assurance we will raise any such additional funds on terms acceptable to us, or at all, or that any future financing transactions will not be dilutive to our stockholders.
If we are unable to raise additional funds as needed, we will be required to curtail significantly, or may even cease, our ongoing and planned operations. Our future liquidity and capital requirements will be influenced materially by various factors including the extent and duration of our future operating losses, the level and timing of future sales and expenses, market acceptance of our motorcycle products, regulatory and market developments in our industry, and general economic conditions.
The report of our independent registered accounting firm for our audited financial statements included in this Form 10-K filing states that there is substantial doubt about the ability of our business to continue as a going concern.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments affecting our reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures. On an ongoing basis, we will evaluate these estimates and judgments, which are based on historical experience, observance of industry trends, information from dealers and motorcycle enthusiasts, and certain assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Our management believes the following accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.
Revenue Recognition – Our sales since inception have all been to dealers. We recognize revenue for sales to dealers when the following has occurred:
|
•
|
motorcycle products are delivered, which is upon shipment;
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
title to products passes to the dealer, also upon shipment;
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
collection is reasonably assured; and
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
the sales price is fixed or determinable.
|
We also account for expenses of shipping costs, rebates and sales incentive costs when our products are shipped, resulting in our revenue recognition being net of such expenses.
Product Warranties – We account for estimated warranty costs at the time of product shipments based on our best estimate using historical data and trends, and we have established a warranty liability reserve account for our estimated warranty costs. We will make subsequent adjustments to our warranty estimates as actual claims become known or the amounts are determinable. Our warranty obligation is affected by various factors such as product failure rates, service costs incurred to correct product failures and defects, and any recalls of our motorcycles. Current estimates of warranty costs could differ materially from what will actually transpire in the future.
Valuation and Control of Inventory – Our inventory is valued at the lower of cost, determined on a first-in, first-out basis (FIFO), or market. We analyze the cost and market value of inventory items on a quarterly basis in order to maintain and update our inventory valuation reserve for obsolete, discontinued or excess inventory. Our inventory reserve will be based on historical experience and current product demand, and will be increased as necessary to reflect any slow moving, discontinued or obsolete inventory. We do not believe our inventories will be subject to rapid obsolescence.
Inventories of motorcycle engines and components represent a large percentage of our tangible assets, and we expect this percentage to increase substantially in the future. We employ an inventory control manager dedicated to and responsible for safeguarding, monitoring and recording our inventory assets.
Stock-Based Compensation – We expense stock-based compensation issued to our employees, contractors, consultants or others providing goods and services to us. The fair value of our securities issued for goods or services are expensed over the period in which we receive the related goods or services. Equity instruments which have been issued by us for goods and services have been for common shares or common stock purchase warrants. These securities are fully vested, non-forfeitable, and fully paid or exercisable at the date of grant. Regarding our option and warrant grants, their fair values have been determined by us using the Black-Scholes model of valuation.
Offering prices with respect to our private placements have been based on various factors including arms’ length negotiations with unaffiliated representatives of private investors or independent placement agents and our valuation beliefs based on the development of our company and motorcycle products at the respective times of the private placements.
Impairment – Soon after the end of each fiscal year and each interim quarter, we conduct a thorough impairment evaluation of our engine development technology and any other material intangible assets. If the results of any such impairment analysis indicate our recorded values for any such assets have declined a material amount, we will adjust our recorded valuations on a discounted cash flow basis to reflect any such decline in value in all our financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Other than a guarantee of our limited floor plan financing by a principal shareholder we have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
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 Annual Report. Our business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed due to one or more of the following risks.
Because of our early stage commercial status and the nature of our business, our securities are highly speculative.
Our securities are speculative and involve a high degree of risk and there is no assurance we will ever 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.
We have a limited operating history primarily involved in product development, and we have only generated limited commercial revenues to date.
From our inception in late 2002 through December 31, 2010, we have experienced cumulative losses of approximately $37.0 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 business enterprise and the uncertainties arising from only a limited commercial operating history. There can be no assurance that our business plan will prove successful.
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 through equity or debt sources as needed, we would not be able to succeed in our commercial operations which eventually would result in a failure of our business.
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.
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 or outsourcing 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. We are unable to determine whether our suppliers will be able to timely supply us with commercial production needs. There is no assurance that any of our vendors or suppliers will be able to meet our future commercial production demands as to volume, quality or timeliness.
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 ten 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 currently provide limited floor plan financing to our dealers for their purchase of Viper products which is self-financed by the company. If we are unable to increase the amount of floor plan financing available to 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 premium 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 a minimal history of commercial sales of our products, we have no material 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.
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 have no written employment agreement with a key employee.
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 for our logo design and our brand, Viper Motorcycle Company.
We have applied 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, 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 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 and other 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.
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 condition 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 early 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 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 25, 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 8. Financial Statements.
Financial statements are included following the Signature page and commencing on page F-1.
Item 9. Changes In and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
None.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation, using the COSO framework, established by the Treadway Commission under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of our disclosure controls and procedures in accordance with Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are ineffective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by Viper Powersports Inc. in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining financial control over financial reporting as defined under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting may not detect or prevent misstatements, no matter how well conceived and operated. Moreover, any projections of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate due to changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010. Based on this assessment, our management believes that the Company has determined that controls were assessed as ineffective contributing to the timing of the filing and number of audit adjustments.

Knutson, 37,500 shares to Terry L. Nesbitt, 25,000 shares to Robert Van Den Berg, 12,500 shares to Duane Peterson, and 687,500 shares to a wholly-owned corporation of John Silseth.

We also have issued warrants to David Palmlund III for providing us with financing services, which warrants have granted him the right to purchase a total of 56,250 of our common shares exercisable at $.625 per share for a five-year term expiring in 2012 .
Robert Van Den Berg, a director of the Company, guaranteed a $250,000 credit facility we obtained from a banking institution, which was established in order to purchase inventory parts and components for upcoming commercial production of Viper motorcycles. In consideration for Mr. Van Den Berg providing this guaranty, we issued him 25,000 shares of our common stock. This line has been completely paid off in early January of 2011.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To The Board of Directors
Viper Powersports Inc.
Hopkins, Minnesota 55343
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Viper Powersports, Inc. (a development stage company) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended, and the period from November 18, 2002 (inception) to December 31, 2010. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting, as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Viper Powersports, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, and the period from November 18, 2002 (inception) to December 31, 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses and net cash outflows from operations since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

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 749,144 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, were relocated , in October 2008, from Big Lake, Minnesota to Hopkins, Minnesota, a suburb of Minneapolis. We lease our current Hopkins facility under a three year lease at a monthly lease amount of $7,910 not including utilities. The facility occupies 9,000 square feet in a modern one-story light industrial building. The Company is currently planning to relocate to a much larger facility in Auburn, Alabama during the summer of 2011 which will allow us to grow based on our forecasted production schedule.

NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
|
Going Concern – The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred a net loss of $37,036,812 since inception, and currently has limited sales. The future of the Company is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations from the production of its motorcycles. Management has plans to seek additional capital through private placements of its capital stock. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.
Principles of Consolidation – The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Viper Powersports Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Viper Motorcycle Company and Viper Performance Inc. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
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. Significant estimates that could change in the near term are warrants at derivative liability value, inventory obsolescence and impairment.
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. The fully diluted shares would be 16,843,347.
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. Components of inventory at December 31, 2010 are as follows;

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. Long-term inventory written off due to obsolescence included in impairment loss for 2010 was $209,628.
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 exception to the above statement is if the sale(s) to the dealer(s) are financed through dealer financing. At that point the company records revenue for the bike sold and a receivable from Viper Powersports.
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. At the same time the company calculates a Fair Market value of the risk associated with the dealer financing liability and records the entry. The liability exposure is generally based on using an industry average of ten percent (10%) for the motorcycle sales for the reporting period.
Warranty information is detailed in the following table:

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 net operating losses (NOL) have been fully reserved and no net tax benefit has been recorded in these financial statements. Cumulative NOL’s at December 31, 2010 of approximately 28,100,000 begin to expire in 2022. Deferred tax assets of approximately $12,610,000 have been offset completely by a valuation allowance. There are no other significant components of deferred tax assets or liabilities.
A reconciliation of the income tax benefit using federal statutory rates applied to pre-tax losses is as follows;

The Company has no tax position for which the ultimate deductibility is certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility. The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company recognized no interest or penalties. The Company had no accruals for interest and penalties at December 31, 2010 or 2009. Open years subject to investigation of the Company’s federal income tax returns extend from 2007 to 2010.

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 accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employees for services and goods under ASC Topic 505.50; 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 – The Company has a very limited dealer floor plan financing program which is self-financed by the company.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC’) which became effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Codification is the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB. The adoption of this Codification did not have any material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2009-05 (ASC Topic 820), which amends Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures-Overall, ASU No. 2009-13 (ASC Topic 605), Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, and various other ASU’s No. 2009-2 through ASU No. 2011-04 which contain technical corrections to existing guidance or affect guidance to specialized industries or entities have been recently issued. These updates have no current applicability to the Company or their effect on the financial statements would not have been significant.
Reclassification:
Certain items for 2009 have been reclassified to conform to the 2010 presentation.

EQUITY FINANCING AGREEMENTS
|
Following are all equity security transactions during the year ended December 31, 2010 involving sales not registered under the Securities Act of 1933:
Loan Transactions
The Company entered into seven 90-day loan agreements bearing interest at 12% per annum during the year ended December 31, 2010. These loans were not initially convertible. Each agreement required the Company to issue warrants to purchase the applicable number of shares of common stock at prices as described below. The Company performed a Black-Scholes valuation for each transaction. The call value was used to value the warrants issued. Once the warrants were valued, the relative fair value method was used to allocate the proceeds between the warrants and the loans. The difference in the face value of the loans and the proceeds assigned to the loans becomes a discount on the loans. These discounts are then accreted over the life of the loans under a separate Debt Conversion Agreement dated November 30, 2010 in which the loans were converted at $.75 per share and additional warrants were granted in which the note holder received 1 warrant for every 2 shares of stock issued upon conversion. These loans and accrued interest were converted on November 30, 2010 into common stock. Any remaining unamortized debt discount at the time of conversion has been accreted to financing cost.

An individual had a $100,000, 90 day note that existed at December 31, 2009. The loan was converted at $.75 per share on November 30, 2010 under the Debt Conversion Agreement noted above.
The Company entered into a 90-day loan agreement and a 365-day loan agreement during the year ended December 31, 2010. These loans were convertible into common shares at $.75 and $.50; respectively, and bear a 12.0% interest rate. The agreement also required the Company to issue warrants to purchase the applicable number of shares of common stock at $1.00 per share. The Company performed a Black-Scholes valuation for these transactions. The call value was used to value the warrants issued. Once the warrants were valued, the relative fair value method was used to allocate the proceeds between the warrants and the loans. The warrant values will be credited to the APIC-Warrant account. The difference in the face value of the loans and the proceeds assigned to the loans becomes a discount on the loans. These discounts are then accreted over the life of the loans. With the convertibility of these loans, a beneficial conversion feature is created. The effective conversion price is subtracted from the stock market price to determine the beneficial conversion feature per share. This is then multiplied by the number of warrants issued. This BCF value is then expensed immediately, since the loan can be immediately converted. The ninety day loan and accrued interest was converted on November 22, 2010. The 365-day loan was converted on December 30, 2010.

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 749,144 shares of common stock of Viper Powersports Inc. issued to Thor Performance, Inc. The Company valued the engine development technology at $10.00per share and capitalized $7,341,438 for the value of the motorcycle engine development.
Motorcycle development technology acquired from Thor Performance Inc. includes designs and prototypes for various V-Twins and other motorcycle engines and other components, and a $150,000 commitment by Thor Performance Inc. to fund the completion of certain development in progress being conducted by MCD, which commitment has been fulfilled. The Company had an independent appraisal of the engine development technology conducted which, under the income methodology approach, valued the engine development technology at $19,616,400.
In accordance with SFAS 2, Accounting for Research and Development Costs, and SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, the Company’s policy is to capitalize costs incurred in connection with the purchase, from outside parties, of new engine development technology. Any internally developed technology would be classified as research and development, and would be immediately expensed. During 2005 the Company capitalized $ 7,341,438 of motorcycle engine development cost. The Company’s policy is to amortize the cost capitalized in connection with developing engine technology on a straight line basis over 10 years. No amortization was taken during 2005 as the company was still in the development stage. The company did not produce any motorcycles during the 2006 year and so it was determined that impairment of the engine development cost should be taken. This amount is $7,371,689 and has been fully impaired in the fiscal year 2006.

Finders fees paid with warrants during 2010 with a value of $586,992 were paid on December 29, 2010. The fees were paid separate from and substantially later than the receipt of proceeds of private placements made during the year, and accordingly, were expensed. These warrants had cashless exercise provisions that allowed them to potentially be settled in cash, resulting in a derivative liability of the same amount. Because the fees were paid at the end of the year, the gain or loss on the change in value of the derivative liability was nominal.

The operating lease for 2011 is made up of the Hopkins lease location amount of $50,985 and the Auburn lease location amount of $57,000 for July through December 2011. The Hopkins lease will be completed as of December 31, 2011. The lease for the Auburn location will not begin until the Company moves into the completed facility which should be approximately July 1, 2011. The rent at the Auburn location, for 2013 and beyond, has yet to be established according to the lease document but will be determined by several factors and shall not be less that $10,000 per month. Total rent expense consisting of the Hopkins lease in 2010 was $93,000.
The Company has authorized 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock with par value of $.001 per share and of these there are none outstanding.
Payoff of bank loan
Subsequent to the year end the company paid off a $250,000 credit facility that was guaranteed by a director of the Company that was used for parts and components for commercial production. This line has been paid off in early January of 2011.
Legal Proceedings
In January 2011, International Finance, LLC, as plaintiff, commenced a legal action against the Company, claiming that the Company owes the plaintiff approximately $98,000 in principal and accrued interest relating to a Promissory Note executed by the Company in 2007. The Company has answered this claim and denied any liability regarding this Promissory Note on the grounds primarily due to lack of consideration by the plaintiff. The Company will continue to defend and oppose this lawsuit.
Common Stock Transactions
During the period January 1 through April 1, 2011, the Company issued 858,000 shares of common stock and 479,000 warrants for $479,000 in cash, and the Company performed Black-Scholes valuation for each transaction. The call value was the cost per share per this model. The warrant allocation is the amount of the proceeds applied to the warrants. The difference between the warrant allocation and the proceeds was allocated to the shares of common stock issued.

Loan Transactions
The Company entered into two 60-day loan agreements during the period January 1 through April 15, 2011. These loans are convertible and carry a 10.0% interest rate. Each agreement also required the company to issue warrants to purchase the applicable number of shares of common stock at $.50 per share. The Company performed a Black-Scholes valuation for each transaction. The call value was used to value the warrants issued. Once the warrants were valued, the relative fair value method was used to allocate the proceeds between the warrants and the loans. The warrant values would be credited to the APIC-Warrant account. The difference in the face value of the loans and the proceeds assigned to the loans becomes a discount on the loans. These discounts are then accreted over the life of the loans.
