NORTHEAST AUTOMOTIVE HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts and Disclosures at and for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 are unaudited)

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

The Company buys used automobiles at auctions, then repairs, cleans, transports and resells them wholesale throughout the United States.

NAME CHANGE OF THE COMPANY

The Board of Directors of Northeast Auto Acceptance Corp. (the “Company”) approved the Merger of the Company, a Florida Corporation with Northeast Automotive Holdings, Inc., a Nevada Corporation. Pursuant to an Information Statement filed on November 8, 2007 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Northeast Automotive Holdings, Inc. executed an Agreement and Plan of merger with the Company, with Northeast Automotive Holdings, Inc. being the surviving entity. The purpose of this merger was to change the legal domicile of the Company from Florida to Nevada.
 
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting Estimates

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

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market.

Depreciation

The cost of equipment is depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets of five years.

Principles of Consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary Northeast Auto Acceptance (New York). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Revenue Recognition

The Company buys used autos and recognizes revenue when it resells them and the title is transferred to the buyer.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method as required by SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"). Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

Adopted Accounting Principles

In the first quarter of 2009, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (SFAS No. 141(R)) as amended by FASB staff position FSP 141(R)-1, “Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies.” SFAS No. 141(R) generally requires an entity to recognize the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, contingencies, and contingent consideration at their fair value on the acquisition date. In circumstances where the acquisition-date fair value for a contingency cannot be determined during the measurement period and it is concluded that it is probable that an asset or liability exists as of the acquisition date and the amount can be reasonably estimated, a contingency is recognized as of the acquisition date based on the estimated amount. It further requires that acquisition-related costs be recognized separately from the acquisition and expensed as incurred, restructuring costs generally be expensed in periods subsequent to the acquisition date, and changes in accounting for deferred tax asset valuation allowances and acquired income tax uncertainties after the measurement period impact income tax expense. In addition, acquired in-process research and development is capitalized as an intangible asset and amortized over its estimated useful life. SFAS No 141(R) is applicable to business combinations on a prospective basis beginning in the first quarter of 2009. We did not complete any business combinations in the first quarter of 2009.
 
In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” (FSP 157-2), which delayed the effective date of SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS No. 157) for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), until the beginning of the first quarter of 2009. Therefore, in the first quarter of 2009, we adopted SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities that are not measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP 132(R)-1, “Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets” (FSP 132(R)-1). FSP 132(R)-1 requires additional disclosures for plan assets of defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. The required disclosures include a description of our investment policies and strategies, the fair value of each major category of plan assets, the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of plan assets, the effect of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs on changes in plan assets, and the significant concentrations of risk within plan assets. FSP 132 (R)-1 does not change the accounting treatment for postretirement benefits plans. FSP 132(R)-1 is effective for us for fiscal year 2009.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (FSP 157-4). FSP 157-4 provides guidance on how to determine the fair value of assets and liabilities when the volume and level of activity for the asset/liability has significantly decreased. FSP 157-4 also provides guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. In addition, FSP 157-4 requires disclosure in interim and annual periods of the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and a discussion of changes in valuation techniques. FSP 157-4 is effective for us beginning in the second quarter of fiscal year 2009. The adoption of FSP 157-4 is not expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment” (FSP 115-2/124-2). FSP 115-2/124-2 amends the requirements for the recognition and measurement of other-than-temporary impairments for debt securities by modifying the pre-existing “intent and ability” indicator. Under FSP 115-2/124-2, an other-than-temporary impairment is triggered when there is an intent to sell the security, it is more likely than not that the security will be required to be sold before recovery, or the security is not expected to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security. Additionally, FSP 115-2/124-2 changes the presentation of an other-than-temporary impairment in the income statement for those impairments involving credit losses. The credit loss component will be recognized in earnings and the remainder of the impairment will be recorded in other comprehensive income. FSP 115-2/124-2 is effective for us beginning in the second quarter of fiscal year 2009. Upon implementation at the beginning of the second quarter of 2009, FSP 115-2/124-2 is not expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (FSP 107-1/APB 28-1). FSP 107-1/APB 28-1 requires interim disclosures regarding the fair values of financial instruments that are within the scope of FAS 107, “Disclosures about the Fair Value of Financial Instruments.” Additionally, FSP 107-1/APB 28-1 requires disclosure of the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments on an interim basis as well as changes of the methods and significant assumptions from prior periods. FSP 107-1/APB 28-1 does not change the accounting treatment for these financial instruments and is effective for us beginning in the second quarter of fiscal year 2009.
 
Interim Financial Information

The accompanying interim financial statements of Northeast Automotive Holdings, Inc. are unaudited. However, in the opinion of management, the interim data includes all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. The results of operations for the period ended March 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the entire year.

Profit or loss per common share is calculated as the profit or loss for the period divided by the weighted average number of shares of the Company's common stock.

NOTE 10 – OFF BALANCE SHEET RISK

Included in the accompanying balance sheet is inventory of used automobiles at a carrying value of $1,594,852 as of March 31, 2009, which represents management's estimate of its net realizable value which approximates market. Such value is based on forecasts for sales of used automobiles in the ensuing year. The used automobile industry is characterized by rapid price changes. Should demand for used automobiles prove to be significantly less than anticipated, the ultimate realizable value of such products could be substantially less than the amount shown in the balance sheet. This risk is increased by the Company's need to move inventory due to the lack of working capital.

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

The following discussion and analysis addresses material changes in the results of operations and financial condition of Northeast Automotive Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company” or “we”) for the periods presented. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements, the related Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, the unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes included in Item 1 of this Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”) and the Company’s other SEC filings and public disclosures.

This Form 10-Q may contain “forward-looking statements”. These statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements may include, without limitation, statements about the Company’s market opportunities, strategies, competition and expected activities and expenditures, and at times may be identified by the use of words such as “may”, “will”, “could”, “should”, “would”, “project”, “believe”, “anticipate”, “expect”, “plan”, “estimate”, “forecast”, “potential”, “intend”, “continue” and variations of these words or comparable words. Forward-looking statements inherently involve risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, the risks described below under “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements for revisions or changes after the date of this Form 10-Q.

Overview

We are a wholesale automobile sales company which seeks to exploit the inefficiencies and geographic differences in the used vehicle market by purchasing high quality, late model used vehicles from dealers and institutional sellers in Northeastern states and transporting the vehicles for resale in the Pacific Northwest. We are involved only in the wholesale purchase and sale of vehicles acting as a middleman between various dealer and institutional sellers and dealer purchasers.  We generally sell our vehicles only through established third-party auctions which act as a marketplace for used vehicles. We thus help align institutional used vehicle sellers and wholesale buyers over a wide geographic area.

Adopted Accounting Principles
 
In the first quarter of 2009, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (SFAS No. 141(R)) as amended by FASB staff position FSP 141(R)-1, “Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies.” SFAS No. 141(R) generally requires an entity to recognize the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, contingencies, and contingent consideration at their fair value on the acquisition date. In circumstances where the acquisition-date fair value for a contingency cannot be determined during the measurement period and it is concluded that it is probable that an asset or liability exists as of the acquisition date and the amount can be reasonably estimated, a contingency is recognized as of the acquisition date based on the estimated amount. It further requires that acquisition-related costs be recognized separately from the acquisition and expensed as incurred, restructuring costs generally be expensed in periods subsequent to the acquisition date, and changes in accounting for deferred tax asset valuation allowances and acquired income tax uncertainties after the measurement period impact income tax expense. In addition, acquired in-process research and development is capitalized as an intangible asset and amortized over its estimated useful life. SFAS No 141(R) is applicable to business combinations on a prospective basis beginning in the first quarter of 2009. We did not complete any business combinations in the first quarter of 2009.
 
12

 
In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” (FSP 157-2), which delayed the effective date of SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS No. 157) for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), until the beginning of the first quarter of 2009. Therefore, in the first quarter of 2009, we adopted SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities that are not measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP 132(R)-1, “Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets” (FSP 132(R)-1). FSP 132(R)-1 requires additional disclosures for plan assets of defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. The required disclosures include a description of our investment policies and strategies, the fair value of each major category of plan assets, the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of plan assets, the effect of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs on changes in plan assets, and the significant concentrations of risk within plan assets. FSP 132 (R)-1 does not change the accounting treatment for postretirement benefits plans. FSP 132(R)-1 is effective for us for fiscal year 2009.
 
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (FSP 157-4). FSP 157-4 provides guidance on how to determine the fair value of assets and liabilities when the volume and level of activity for the asset/liability has significantly decreased. FSP 157-4 also provides guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. In addition, FSP 157-4 requires disclosure in interim and annual periods of the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and a discussion of changes in valuation techniques. FSP 157-4 is effective for us beginning in the second quarter of fiscal year 2009. The adoption of FSP 157-4 is not expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment” (FSP 115-2/124-2). FSP 115-2/124-2 amends the requirements for the recognition and measurement of other-than-temporary impairments for debt securities by modifying the pre-existing “intent and ability” indicator. Under FSP 115-2/124-2, an other-than-temporary impairment is triggered when there is an intent to sell the security, it is more likely than not that the security will be required to be sold before recovery, or the security is not expected to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security. Additionally, FSP 115-2/124-2 changes the presentation of an other-than-temporary impairment in the income statement for those impairments involving credit losses. The credit loss component will be recognized in earnings and the remainder of the impairment will be recorded in other comprehensive income. FSP 115-2/124-2 is effective for us beginning in the second quarter of fiscal year 2009. Upon implementation at the beginning of the second quarter of 2009, FSP 115-2/124-2 is not expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (FSP 107-1/APB 28-1). FSP 107-1/APB 28-1 requires interim disclosures regarding the fair values of financial instruments that are within the scope of FAS 107, “Disclosures about the Fair Value of Financial Instruments.” Additionally, FSP 107-1/APB 28-1 requires disclosure of the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments on an interim basis as well as changes of the methods and significant assumptions from prior periods. FSP 107-1/APB 28-1 does not change the accounting treatment for these financial instruments and is effective for us beginning in the second quarter of fiscal year 2009.

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008

The following table sets forth certain data derived from the unaudited consolidated statements of operations, expressed as a percentage of net revenues for each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008.

   
Three Months ended March

Percentage of net revenues:
           
Net revenues
    100 %     100 %
Cost of revenues
    93.5 %     97.5 %
Gross profit
    6.5 %     2.5 %
                 
Sales, general and administrative expenses
    3.6 %     1.2 %
Other operating expenses
    2.9 %     1.2 %
Total operating expenses
    6.5 %     2.4 %
Profit (loss) from operations
    (0.0 )%     0.1 %

Revenues
Revenue for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 were $4,801,921 a decrease of $13,457,569 or 73.7% as compared to revenues for the three month period ended March 31, 2008 of $18,259,490. The decrease in revenue was a result of a decrease in the number of vehicles we sold in the three month period in 2009 over 2008. Specifically, in the three month period ended March 31, 2009 we sold 367 vehicles at an average sales price of $13,084 as compared to 1,215 vehicles at an average sales price of $15,028 during the comparable period in 2008.

Cost of Sales and Gross Profit Margin
The Company's cost of sales is composed primarily of the cost of purchasing vehicles for resale. Cost of revenues was $4,490,821 or 93.5% of net revenues during the three month period ended March 31, 2009 as compared to $17,809,106 or 97.5% for the comparable period in 2008, a decrease of $13,318,285 or 74.8%. Thus, our gross margin was 6.5% for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 as compared to 2.5% for the comparable period in 2008. The decrease in our cost of revenue as a percent of revenue is attributable to a decrease in the cost of the vehicles sold during the three month period ended March 31, 2009 as compared to the comparable period in 2008.
 
Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses are comprised primarily of salaries, consulting fees and sales, general and administrative expenses.

Sale, General and Administrative
Sale, general and administrative (“SGA”) expenses are composed principally of commission, salaries of administrative personnel, fees for professional services and facilities expenses. These expenses were $170,655 for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 or 3.6% of net revenue as compared to $214,014 or 1.2% of net revenue for the comparable period in 2008, a decrease in such expenses of $43,359 or 2.4% The decrease in the ratio of SGA expenses to net revenue was primarily due to a decrease in operating expenses.

 
14

 

Other Expenses
Our combined expenses for officers salaries and interest was $140,533 for the three month period ended March 31, 2009or 2.9% of net revenue compared to the comparable period in 2008 when such expenses were $211,386 or 1.2% of net revenue. The decrease in such expenses is attributable to decreased officers’ salaries in 2009 as well as a decrease in interest expense. The following table shows the changes in the components of these expenses during the comparable periods.

   
Three Month
Period Ended

Interest Expense
  $ 60,777     $ 89,698     $ (28,921 )     (32.2 )%

Operating Gain (Loss)
Operating gain or loss is calculated as our revenues less all of our operating expenses. Our operating (loss) for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 was ($4,338) or (0.1)% of net revenue as compared to an operating gain of $23,684 or 0.1% of net revenue for comparable period in 2008, an decrease of ($28,022). This increase in operating (loss) was primarily as a result of a decrease in gross revenues which was greater than the decrease of operating expense.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As of March 31, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of $398,312 invested in standard bank checking accounts and highly liquid money market instruments. Such investments are subject to interest rate and credit risk. Such risks and a change in market interest rates would not be expected to have a material impact on our financial condition and/or results of operations. As of March 31, 2009, we had an outstanding balance of $61,209 on our revolving credit facility with Manheim Auto Financial Services, Inc. Borrowings under such revolving credit facility would bear interest at a variable rate equal to prime plus 2.0%. In addition, as of March 31, 2009, we had an outstanding balance of $100,000 on a bank revolving credit facility which bears interest at a variable rate equal to prime plus 1.0%.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-14(c) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), within 90 days of the filing date of this report. In designing and evaluating the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applied its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that as of March 31, 2009, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were (1) designed to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this report was being prepared and (2) effective, in that they provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
 
15

 
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls
 
Management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material errors. An internal control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations on all internal control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. The design of any system of internal control is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in circumstances, and/or the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost effective internal control system, financial reporting misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected on a timely basis.

There have been no significant changes (including corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies or material weaknesses) in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of the evaluation referenced in the above paragraph.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are currently not involved in any litigation that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our company or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our company, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or of our companies or our subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The Company is subject to various risks, including the risks described below. The Company’s business, operating results, and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected by any of these risks. Additional risks not presently known to the company or that the Company currently deems immaterial may also impair the business and its operations.

 
16

 

Economic Conditions and Gasoline Prices May Affect Sales. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to changes in general or regional U.S. economic conditions, including, but not limited to, consumer credit availability, consumer credit delinquency and default rates, interest rates, gasoline prices, inflation, personal discretionary spending levels, and consumer sentiment about the economy in general. Any significant changes in economic conditions could adversely affect consumer demand and/or increase our costs resulting in lower profitability for the Company. In addition, our transportation costs are partially tied to the cost of gasoline and any additional increases to the cost of gasoline may increase our costs and may result in lower profitability.

Our Business is Highly Competitive. The reselling of late model used vehicles is a highly competitive business. The Company’s competition includes publicly and privately owned franchised new car dealers and independent dealers, as well as millions of private individuals. The company’s competitors may sell the same or similar makes of vehicles that the Company offers in the same or similar markets at competitive prices. Further, new entrants to the market could result in increased wholesale costs for used vehicles and lower-than-expected vehicle sales and margins. Additionally, competition on vehicle sales is increasing as these products are now being marketed and sold over the Internet. Customers are using the Internet to compare pricing for cars and related financing, which may further reduce the Company’s profitability.

Retail and Wholesale Prices May Vary Depending Upon Factors Beyond the Company’s Control. Any significant changes in retail or wholesale prices for used and new vehicles could result in lower sales and margins for the Company. If any of the Company’s competitors seek to gain or retain market share by reducing prices for used vehicles, the Company would likely reduce its prices in order to remain competitive, which may result in a decrease in its sales and profitability and require a change in its operating strategies.

There are Risks Associated with Purchasing Inventory. A reduction in the availability or access to sources of inventory would adversely affect the Company’s business. A failure to adjust the price that the Company offers to purchase vehicles from sellers to stay in line with market trends, or a failure to recognize those trends, could negatively impact the Company’s ability to acquire inventory.
 
We are highly Dependant Upon Our Management and Workforce. The Company’s success depends upon the continued contribution of its corporate management team. Consequently, the loss of the services of key employees could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations. In addition, in order to expand the Company’s business, the Company will need to hire additional personnel. The market for qualified employees in the industry and in the regions in which the Company operates is highly competitive and may subject the company to increased labor costs during periods of low unemployment.

We are Dependant Upon Our Information Systems. The Company’s business is dependent upon the efficient operation of its information systems. In particular, the Company relies on its information systems to effectively manage its sales, inventory and customer information. The failure of the Company’s information systems to perform as designed or the failure to maintain and continually enhance or protect the integrity of these systems could disrupt the Company’s business, impact sales and profitability, or expose the Company to customer or third-party claims.

Our Availability to Capital May Vary. Changes in the availability or cost of capital and working capital financing, including the availability of long-term financing to support development of the Company, could adversely affect the company’s growth and operating strategies. Further, the Company’s current credit facilities contain certain financial covenants and the Company’s future credit facilities may contain covenants and/or performance triggers. Any failure by the Company to comply with these covenants and/or performance triggers could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.

 
17

 

Our Purchases and Sales are Geographically Concentrated. The Company’s performance is subject to local economic, competitive, and other conditions prevailing in geographic areas where the Company operates. Since currently, all of our vehicles are purchased in the Northeast and are sold in the Pacific Northwest; the Company’s current results of operations depend substantially on general economic conditions and consumer spending habits in these markets. In the event that any of the geographic areas in which the Company does business experiences a downturn in economic conditions, it may adversely affect the Company’s business. Furthermore, in the event that the regional price discrepancies of vehicles that the Company exploits should decrease or disappear, it may adversely affect the Company’s business.

We Currently Have Just One Director. Our Board of Directors is currently comprised of just one member, our Chief Executive Officer William Solko. Thus, without any independent directors, conflicts of interest between the Company and our Chief Executive Officer may occur regarding issues such as executive compensation. We intend to increase the size of the Board of Directors in 2008.

Control of the Company by Our Majority Stockholder. Our Chief Executive Officer, William Solko, is the majority stockholder of the Company and owns 56.4% of the shares issued and outstanding. Accordingly, the present majority stockholder of the Company is in a position to elect all of the directors of the Company and control its policies.
 
Our Costs Are Partially Dependant Upon Fuel Costs. Because all of the vehicles we purchase must be shipped from the Northeast to the Pacific Northwest, we are dependant upon variations in the cost of fuel. Any significant rise in the cost of fuel will increase our transportation costs and we may not be able to pass these increased costs along to our customers, resulting in lower net profits on each vehicle we sell.
