PART I

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

General Overview

Sparta Commercial Services, Inc. (“Sparta” “we,” “us,” or the “Company”) is a Nevada corporation. We are an independent financial services provider, offering both retail installment sales contract and lease financing to the powersports industry.

Our principal business is to provide financing programs, primarily to purchasers and lessees of new and used motorcycles, scooters, and utility all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) who meet our credit criteria and program parameters. Additionally, we offer fleet leasing to dealers and owners of motorcycle rental fleets and provide, on both a direct and a pass through basis, equipment leasing to municipalities, including, but not limited to, police motorcycles.

We have, and continue to develop, relationships with powersports dealers and manufacturers to provide our financing programs to their customers. We also seek to provide motorcycle, scooter, and all-terrain vehicle manufacturers private label versions of our financing programs for their customers.

Our offices are located at 462 Seventh Avenue, 20th Floor, New York, NY 10018, telephone number: (212) 239-2666. We maintain a website at www.spartacommercial.com.


Our Business

We are a specialized consumer finance company engaged primarily in the origination of leases and the purchase of retail installment sales contracts of new and used motorcycles (550cc and higher), scooters, and 4-stroke ATVs. We believe that the market for consumer finance programs for motorcycles and ATVs is underserved by traditional lenders.

We have and continue to develop relationships with vehicle dealers and manufacturers to provide our financing programs to their customers. We also seek to provide motorcycle, scooter, and all-terrain vehicle manufacturers a private label version of our financing programs for their customers. Additionally, we offer an equipment leasing program to municipalities, including, but not limited to, police motorcycles.

Business Overview

Sparta’s business model has been designed to generate revenue from several sources:

· Retail installment sales contracts and leases;
· Municipal leasing of equipment;
· Private label programs for manufacturers and distributors;
· Ancillary products and services, such as private label gap coverage; and
· Remarketing of off-lease and repossessed vehicles.

Sparta’s management believes that by offering dealers (and their customers) the option of either financing or leasing, Sparta will be able to capture a greater share of the dealer’s business. Additionally, by offering both alternatives, once profitability is achieved, Sparta believes that it will be in a position to achieve greater cash-flow than it could by offering only one of these alternatives because depreciation generated by Sparta’s leasing activities will reduce income tax due on income resulting from Sparta’s retail installment sales contracts.

Retail Installment Sales Contracts and Leases

Retail Installment Sales Contracts (RISC) - Sparta purchases retail installment sales contracts from both franchised and independent powersports dealers who qualify as Authorized Sparta Dealers and/or as Authorized Private Label Dealers under Sparta’s Private Label Programs. Sparta has developed policies and procedures for credit evaluation, collections, insurance follow up, and asset recovery. Sparta imposes strict credit criteria to determine which retail installment sales contract applications to approve. This credit criterion has been developed to be in compliance with the credit criterion required by our lenders. The dealers understand that if they consummate a credit transaction with a customer on whose application we have given them a conditional approval that Sparta will purchase that contract if it is in full compliance with all terms and conditions of that approval and contained in our dealer agreement.

To insure that Sparta’s Credit Evaluation Process and Collateral Guidelines are consistently applied and that the credit/underwriting decision process provides rapid decisioning to Authorized Sparta Dealers and the Authorized Private Label Dealers, Sparta has developed a point of sale credit application and contract decisioning system. This system is named “iPLUSÒ” and is structured as an Application Service Provider (“ASP”) and has the capability of providing the dealer with conditional approvals in less than sixty seconds, seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day. This technology provides quick, consistent credit decisions for our dealer network and reduces the number of credit analysts required, thereby, reducing Sparta’s personnel expense. Depending on Sparta’s arrangement with its lending sources, in the case of consumer finance contracts, Sparta may finance its purchase of the contracts by borrowing from a lending source and pledging the retail installment sales contracts as collateral for the loan.

All of the retail installment sale contracts will be secured by qualified, titled motorcycles with 550+cc and higher engines, 4-stroke all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), or select scooters. Customer financing needs are projected to range from approximately $5,000 to $40,000. Contract terms of 24 to 60 months are offered.

Leases - Sparta purchases qualified vehicles for lease to customers of its Authorized Sparta Dealers and/or Authorized Private Label Dealers. While the steps in the leasing process are almost identical to those in the installment sales contract process, the major difference is that when a lease “approval” is transmitted to a dealer, the “approval” describes the terms and conditions under which Sparta will purchase a specific vehicle from the dealer and lease it to the applicant. Unlike a retail installment sales contract which finances a customer’s purchase of a vehicle owned by the customer, the lease contract contains the payment terms and conditions under which Sparta will allow the customer to use (lease) the vehicle, which is owned by Sparta, and also contains a vehicle purchase price option which provides the customer with the right to purchase the vehicle at the lease-end. Depending on Sparta’s arrangement with its lending sources, in the case of leases, Sparta may finance its purchase of leased vehicles by borrowing from a lending source and assigning or pledging the lease and leased vehicle as collateral for the loan. Lease terms range from 24 to 60 months, although most lease terms are either 36 or 60 months. Leases generally have lower monthly payments than retail installment sales contracts because they finance only part of the vehicle with the balance being financed by the lessor. Unlike Retail Installment Sales Contracts, Sparta can and does charge acquisition fees for each of its leases. These fees range from $290 to $490 per lease depending on the amount of the lease.

In July 2006, we announced an agreement for accepting and processing motorcycle credit applications from a Fortune 500 global diversified financial provider. Under the agreement, the company electronically transmits to Sparta loan applications which meet Sparta’s lending/leasing criteria. In May 2008, this agreement was terminated as said company decided to cease doing business in the motorcycle industry.

In May 2006, we entered into a limited Marketing Agreement with netLoan Funding, LLC (“netLoan”). eBay Motors is under an agreement with netLoan whereby eBay Motors customers wishing to finance powersports vehicles are referred to the netLoan web site. Under our agreement with netLoan, these customers are then redirected from the netLoan web site electronically to a co-branded Sparta iPLUSÒ web site where their credit applications are processed. In April 2008, this agreement was amended and expanded to include referrals from eLoan’s and NADA’s (National Automotive Dealers Association) motorcycle web pages and to include credit applications from these three sources for all motorcycles over 550cc. We pay netLoan a fee for each funded lease or contract processed through this co-branded web site. To date, the value of this program is still under review.

Municipal Leasing of Equipment, including, but not limited to Police Motorcycles

In February 2007, Sparta launched a new Municipal Leasing Program designed expressly to meet the needs of law enforcement agencies throughout the U.S. Sparta estimates that the annual municipal market for new law enforcement motorcycles, alone, exceeds $300 million annually, based upon extensive discussions that the company conducted among Harley-Davidson, Honda, and BMW dealers, with those brands being the most prominent in the municipal environment. Sparta believes that most of these agencies have historically been purchasing these vehicles with few, if any, financing alternatives, therefore, we developed a leasing alternative for governmental organizations to acquire the motorcycles they need, and remain within their budgets at the same time. We have partnered with a wholly owned subsidiary of a state chartered bank which specializes in municipal financing. Under this relationship, the Company originates for this subsidiary and negotiates the leases on behalf of it and the municipality. The Company receives an upfront origination fee and a structured commission for each closed lease.

Private Label Programs for Manufacturers and Distributors

To date, we have entered into four "private label" 5-year financing agreements with the U.S. distributors of major manufacturers of scooters and ATVs. Under these agreements, we allow the manufacturer to put its name on our finance and lease products, and offer such financing facilities to its dealers for their customers. We own the retail installment sales contracts and leases generated under these "private label" programs, and derive revenues from sales of the distributor's product line to the dealer's customers. The private label program also expands our dealer base by the number of dealerships in the distributor's chain, thereby generating additional opportunities to sell our own financial services to these dealers for their customers interested in non-"private label" brand of vehicles.

These four distributors have over 1,200 dealers who, in addition to becoming our Private Label dealers, can sign up to become our Authorized Sparta Dealers, which will enable them to use us as a source for financing their non-private label brand of vehicles.

In May 2007, Sparta announced the launch of a consumer leasing program for Moto Guzzi and Aprilia, the two motorcycle brands distributed by Piaggio Group Americas, Inc. The program will enable all Moto Guzzi and Aprilia dealers to offer Sparta's Flex Lease product to their customers as alternatives to traditional retail installment sales financing. Piaggio Group's US dealer network currently numbers approximately 400, including retailers of Vespa and Piaggio, the two well known brands of scooters also distributed by the Piaggio Group. Among those dealers, more than 180 carry the Moto Guzzi and/or Aprilia brands. Piaggio Group Americas, Inc. is a subsidiary of Piaggio & C. S.p.A., based in Pontedera, Italy.

Revenue From Ancillary Products And Services

We expect to receive additional revenue related to servicing our portfolio, such as lease acquisition fees, late payment fees, vehicle disposition fees at lease-end, early termination fees, charges for excess wear-and-tear on leased vehicles, and from ancillary products and services.

We are being positioned as a full service organization providing products and services to its dealers that are costly to obtain on an individual dealer basis. Also, we offer a private label GAP (Guaranteed Auto Protection) plan for our dealers:

Gap Coverage - Sparta markets its private label gap coverage on a fee basis to customers through dealers. This coverage protects the customer should the vehicle be stolen or wrecked and the holder’s primary insurance is not adequate to cover their payoff to the creditor that holds the lien on or the lease of the vehicle.

Sparta intends to continue to evaluate additional ancillary products and services and believes that it can create additional products and services to meet dealers' needs, creating company brand loyalty in the dealer community and generating other revenue streams.

Revenue From Remarketing Off-Lease And Repossessed Vehicles

Re-leasing to Original Lessees - Management commences its re-leasing efforts as early as eleven months prior to the end of the scheduled lease term. Lessees’ options are expected to include: extending the lease, returning the vehicle to Sparta or buying the vehicle at the buy-out option price established at the beginning of the lease. Sparta’s policy requires lessees who wish to return their vehicles, return the vehicle to the originating dealer. If the lessee has moved, then the vehicle should be returned to the Authorized Sparta Dealer closest to the lessee. If this is impracticable, then Sparta will arrange to have the vehicle transported at the lessee’s expense.

Returned Leased Vehicles - When a vehicle is returned to an Authorized Sparta Dealer at the end of the scheduled lease term, the dealer will inspect it for excessive wear and mileage over maximum levels specified under the lease agreement and prepares it for resale/lease. All Sparta Authorized Dealers and all Authorized Private Label Dealers are contractually bound to charge no more than cost plus ten-percent for repairs and to provide free storage for all consignment vehicles. Thereafter, Sparta plans to consign the vehicle to the originating dealer for sale or re-lease to a new party. Should the dealer decline to take the vehicle on consignment, it will be electronically marketed on the Classified Pages of the Sparta web site. Sparta believes the market for used vehicles is significant, and the opportunity to remarket the same vehicle numerous times is a key selling point with prospective dealerships. Sparta believes that using its dealer network in such a manner will result in a better overall economic return on its portfolio as well as strengthen dealer relationships.

Repossessed Vehicles - All repossessed vehicles are similarly returned to the originating Authorized Sparta Dealer to be reconditioned (if needed) for consignment sale or re-lease in the same manner as returned vehicles.

Second Chance Express - Sparta allows its Authorized Sparta Dealers to offer its inventory of returned or repossessed vehicles not only to customers with approved credit applications but, also to customers with less than prime credit. Applicants with low credit scores are evaluated under Sparta’s Second Chance Express Program. This unique finance/lease product is designed to offer a financing program tailored to this non-prime customer. The program allows Sparta to serve those customers who can offset their credit risk with higher down payments. A key benefit of this program to Sparta is that the minimum down-payment requirement is 20% in order to bring the amount financed in line with the current wholesale value of the vehicle. Under the Second Chance Express Program, Sparta pays its dealers a commission on any Sparta inventory vehicle, held on consignment on their “floor” or offered on the Sparta Classified Web Page, for which they arrange a sale or finance.

Credit and Collections

Policies and Procedures

Based on management's experience in vehicle financing and leasing, we have developed policies and procedures for credit evaluation, collections, insurance follow up, and asset recovery. We impose strict credit and demographic criteria to determine which retail installment sales contracts and lease applications are approved.

Credit Evaluation Process and Collateral Guidelines

To insure that Sparta’s Credit Evaluation Process and Collateral Guidelines are consistently applied and that the credit/underwriting decision process provides rapid decisioning to our Authorized Sparta Dealers and our Authorized Private Label Dealers, Sparta has worked closely with a leading provider of interactive credit accessing and decisioning solutions, to develop the iPLUSÒpoint of sale credit application decisioning and contract system.

iPLUSÒ internet Purchasing Leasing Underwriting Servicing)

Sparta’s retail installment sales contract and leasing programs are delivered through a proprietary, web-based, credit application processing system. This system is named iPLUSÒ and is structured as an Application Service Provider (“ASP”) and has the capability of providing the dealer with conditional approvals seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day. This system also provides the powersports dealer with system capabilities comparable to those of new car franchises. Sparta believes iPLUSÒ provides the Authorized Sparta Dealers and Authorized Private Label Dealers with a competitive advantage and increases Sparta’s ability to garner a larger share of the dealer’s business.

· 100% WEB Browser Based (www.spartacommercial.com)
· User friendly system
· No costly software required by the users
· Operates on any dial-up connection as slow as 28.8
· Requires Internet Explorer 5.5 or above, Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0 or above, both available at no charge on the Internet

· Dealer communication
· Allows the dealer to track the entire decisioning, underwriting, and funding process in real time.

Additionally, this technology provides quick, consistent credit decisions for our dealer network and reduces the number of credit analysts required, thereby, reducing Sparta’s personnel expense.

Sparta has established program guidelines that are an integral function of the iPLUSÒ decision process. These program guidelines establish and clarify credit criteria such as credit tiers, maximum amount financed, term and rate, dealer rate participation, deal structure, buyer profile, credit bureau parameters, budget parameters, and eligible collateral, including maximum loan-to-value ratios for each of its retail installment sales contracts and lease contracts, depending on the applicant’s credit rating and stability. Sparta has developed its own credit criteria system by using an empirical score card and then assigning its own rating based on Sparta’s experience. This rating is used as the basis to determine the terms and conditions under which an applicant is approved or declined.

Sparta conducts both applicant credit risk and asset evaluation before approving financing. Should the customer seek financing above this threshold, Sparta asks for a down payment from the borrower or lessee to close the gap between selling price and value. The size of the down payment will be a function of the applicant’s credit rating, stability, budget, and the value of the underlying asset.

Collection Procedures

Approving retail installment sales contracts and leases that comply with the policies and procedures established by Sparta is just the first step. A principal factor in the success of Sparta’s business model is its ability to track contract and lease performance.

A third party provides the software Sparta uses to manage its assets, customer base, collections, insurance, and accounting systems. Using a variety of basic and customized reports generated by this software, Sparta monitors its customers’ compliance with their obligations under retail installment sales contracts or lease agreements. These reports are accessed on a real-time basis by employees of Sparta and are distributed to management personnel for review. The reports include delinquency reports, collection tickler (promises) reports, insurance status reports, termination reports, inventory reports, maturing contract reports, etc.

Sparta requires continuous physical damage insurance on all financed vehicles and continuous liability and physical damage insurance coverage on all leased vehicles. In addition, Sparta is required to be listed as Additional Named Insured and Loss Payee. Continuous insurance is critical, and Sparta is permitted to repossess a vehicle if coverage lapses. Any lapse in insurance coverage for any reason will lead to reinstatement of insurance coverage or repossession of leased vehicle.

Using Diversification to Reduce Portfolio Risk

Management will reduce portfolio risk not only by carefully screening applicants and monitoring covenant compliance, but also by diversifying its financing activities across credit tiers and Sparta’s list of motorcycle, ATV and scooter models that it will finance or lease.

Credit Tiers - Sparta expects that it will maintain a portfolio dominated by A/B credit applicants over C applicants in the ratio of at least 70/30. Management anticipates that it will be able to rebalance its portfolio by training its sales force to work closely with dealerships in their territories to help Sparta maintain its conservative 70/30 target.

Sparta will also be able to manage this ratio by revising the variables in its various programs (terms and conditions under which Sparta will lease vehicles or purchase retail installment contracts), such as minimum income, debt ratios, payment to income ratios, minimum down payment required, acquisition fees (paid by dealer), discounts (paid by dealer), etc.

Portfolio Performance - Contracts and leases over 30 days delinquent were 3.12% of total portfolio balances at April 30, 2006, 1.88% at April 30, 2007 and 2.85% at April 30, 2008. Cumulative net losses and charge-offs as a percent of cumulative portfolio originations were zero at April 30, 2006, 1.53% at April 30, 2007 and 1.17% at April 30, 2008. Additionally, as of April 30, 2008 the Company maintained a cash reserve with its Senior Lender equal to 8.84% of the outstanding loan balance with that lender.

Sparta Approved Vehicle Models - Advance rates and other credit restrictions will be in effect for certain models and years based on the relevant facts and circumstances.

Market Information

As reported in the 2006 Annual Statistical Report of the Motorcycle Industry Council, retail sales of new motorcycles have grown steadily from 1991 through 2006. North American registrations of new 651cc and higher motorcycles reached 516,100 in 2007, a 5% decline from 2006 Sparta estimates that the 2007 US retail market for new and used 600cc+ motorcycles was $8.8 billion.

U.S. sales of new ATVs were estimated to be 637,600 units in 2007, a 15% decline from 2006 as reported in Powersports Business Magazine in the February 11, 2008 issue.

Estimated U.S scooter unit sales for calendar 2007 are estimated to be 54,000 down approximately 4.6% from calendar year 2007, according to Powersports Business Magazine in the February 11, 2008 issue.

Sales and Marketing

Normally, vehicle finance programs are sold primarily at the dealer level, rather than the consumer level. Our strategy is to utilize a direct sales force that promotes our products and services to qualified dealers, train them, and provide them with point-of-sale marketing materials. Our vehicle financing programs are already gaining market acceptance as evidenced by the four Private Label Contracts. This direct sales force will be comprised of Marketing Group and a Dealer Services Group.

The Marketing Group will continue to work directly with the manufacturers and distributors to obtain additional Private Label affiliations and to monitor our competition. The Private Label partners will assist us directly in training the Private Label Dealers. This will be done at the manufacturers/distributors place of business, at industry shows, or with a group of dealers in a common geographic area.

The Dealer Support Group accepts dealer application packages from dealers that want to be either or both our Authorized Sparta Dealers or Authorized Private Label Dealers. They then notify the approved dealers that they have been approved and provide them with the required information to process applications and print contracts through iPLUSÒ,including a Dealer Sign Up packet. The Dealer Services Group is available to directly assist dealers by telephone and follow up with dealers on conditional approvals to assist dealers in forwarding the funding

packages to us for purchase. This group also accepts all incoming calls from dealers, answering their inquiry or directing them, if necessary, to the appropriate department.

Authorized Sparta Dealers are able to advertise both new and used vehicles in the Classified Section of our website, at no cost to the dealer. Sparta plans to use this feature of the website to remarket its own inventory (both repossessed and returned end-of-term vehicles) throughout the country. Our exclusive “Second-Chance Express” program for customers with a poor or limited credit history was created to help re-market our inventory. Incentives are in place for Authorized Sparta Dealers who sell or lease either our inventory vehicle at their dealership or one that is at another dealership in our network.

With the exception of the netLoan program and the program with the Fortune 500 company both described under the “Retail Installment Sales Contracts and Leases” section above, we do not market or sell directly to consumers, but we expect consumers to visit our website. We have provided a consumer oriented PowerPoint presentation for their review. Additionally, visiting consumers will be able to view our advertising, news and find general information about vehicle makes and models, road rallies, and other areas of powersports interest. They will also be able to utilize our Dealer Locator to find the nearest Authorized Sparta Dealers or Authorized Private Label Dealer in their area. Consumers will be able to view the Classified Section of the website and any consumer inquiring about the program will be directed to our nearest authorized dealer.

Competition

The consumer finance industry is highly fragmented and highly competitive. Broadly speaking, Sparta competes with commercial banks, savings & loans, industrial thrift and credit unions, and a variety of local, regional and national consumer finance companies. While there are numerous financial service companies that provide consumer credit in the automobile markets, including banks, other consumer finance companies, and finance companies owned by automobile manufacturers and retailers, most financial service companies are reluctant to lend to motorcyclists. Customers who approach these lending sources to take out retail installment sales contracts are often encouraged to pursue personal loans instead.

There are few companies that provide nationwide dealer-based leasing options in the motorcycle industry segment, and these tend to be private label factory programs supporting their own brands. Because of their narrow focus (such as requiring that the equipment be covered by the brand's warranty); these companies have met with limited success.

Independent consumer financial services companies and large commercial banks that participated in this market have withdrawn substantially from the motorcycle loan niche over the past two years or have tightened their underwriting criteria. Sparta believes that those companies may have suffered as a result of compromising their underwriting criteria for the sake of volume. In addition, management believes that our competitors' practice of financing all makes and models of a particular manufacturer results in lower overall portfolio performance because of the poor demographics associated with some of those product lines. The marketplace also includes small competitors such as local credit unions, local banks and a few regional players.

Sparta competes for customers with commercial banks, savings and loans, credit unions, consumer financing companies, and manufacturers finance subsidiaries. Additionally, some powersports manufacturers such as Harley-Davidson and BMW have subsidiaries that provide financing.

A significant competitor of Sparta is GE Retail Services. To management’s knowledge, this firm does not offer leases for powersports vehicles.

GE Retail Services, markets both directly to dealers in Powersports market and through Co Branded private label programs. GE recently has co-branded with Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki, Moto Guzzi, Aprillia Brands and other national manufacturers and distributors of Powersports and recreational products such as Coachmen Industries. GE also offers dealer and distributor floor plan financing and private label credit cards.

While some of Sparta’s larger competitors have vast sources of capital and may be able to offer lower interest rates due to lower borrowing costs, and longer terms (up to 108 months) Sparta believes that the combination of management’s experience, expedient service, availability of the lease option and iPLUSÒ give Sparta an advantage over its competitors.

Regulation

Our planned financing operations are subject to regulation, supervision and licensing under various federal, state and local statutes and ordinances. Additionally, the procedures that we must follow in connection with the repossession of vehicles securing contracts are regulated by each of the states in which we do business. Accordingly, the laws of such states, as well as applicable federal law, govern our operations. Compliance with existing laws and regulations has not had a material adverse affect on our operations to date. Our management believes that we maintain all requisite licenses and permits and are in material compliance with all applicable local, state and federal laws and regulations. We periodically review our office practices in an effort to ensure such compliance.

The following constitute certain of the federal, state and local statutes and ordinances with which we must comply:

ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

The Board of Directors does not intend to declare or pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. It is the current policy to retain all earnings, if any, to support future growth and expansion.

As of April 30, 2008, we had outstanding 825 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, $.001 par value. The shares pay a 6% annual dividend which may be paid in cash or shares of common stock at the Company’s option.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

“FORWARD-LOOKING” INFORMATION

This report on Form 10-KSB contains certain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which represent our expectations and beliefs, including, but not limited to statements concerning the Company's expected growth. The words "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "project," and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date such statement was made. These statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond our control, and actual results may differ materially depending on a variety of important factors.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the information set forth in the audited financial statements for the years ended April 30, 2008 and April 30, 2007 and footnotes found in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
COMPARISON OF THE YEAR ENDED APRIL 30, 2008 TO THE YEAR ENDED APRIL 30, 2007

For the year ended April 30, 2008, we have generated increased revenues, have incurred significant expenses, and have sustained significant losses. We believe we will continue to earn increasing revenues from operations in fiscal 2009.

Revenues

Revenues totaled $1,129,691 in fiscal 2008 compared to revenues of $787,997 in fiscal 2007. Fiscal 2008 revenues were primarily comprised of $615,531 in interest income from Retail Installment Sales Contracts, $391,029 in income from Operating and Finance Leases, $27,400 in Preferred Provider Program Fees, $34,112 in Commissions on municipal lease transactions, and $61,619 in other fee income.

Costs and Expenses

The Company incurred employee compensation and benefit costs of $1,720,945 for the year ended April 30, 2008compared with $1,805,345 in fiscal 2007. The decrease is related to the reduced costs the Company recognized in decreasing its employee base during the year from 25 employees at fiscal yearend 2007 to 18 at fiscal yearend 2008. If the Company continues to expand, the Company will incur additional costs for personnel. In order for the Company to attract and retain quality personnel, management anticipates it will continue to offer competitive salaries and issue common stock to consultants and employees.

The Company paid $322,020 and $280,000 to its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, in fiscal 2008 and 2007, respectively. These payments were charged to operations, and are included in the compensation costs shown above.

In connection with placement transactions, the Company expensed non-cash costs in the form of shares of restricted common stock or warrants of $449,926for the year ended April 30, 2008 and $154,913 for the year ended April 30, 2007. These amounts were charged to financing costs. During the fiscal year ended April 30, 3008, the Company expensed $177,000 as the value of stock based compensation issued to consultants versus $494,230 in the prior fiscal year. Additionally, during the fiscal year ended April 30, 3008, the Company expensed $261,850 as the value of employee stock and option based compensation as compared to $313,107 in the prior fiscal year. At April 30, 2008 and April 30, 2007, accrued preferred dividends of $28,422 and $118,770, respectively, which were charged to retained earnings.

The Company incurred consulting costs of $215,399 for the year ended April 30, 2008, as compared to $315,095 for the year ended April 30, 2007. This decrease was the result of reduced reliance on outside consultants. The Company incurred legal and accounting fees of $226,933 for the year ended April 30, 2008, as compared to $236,939 for the year ended April 30, 2007.

The Company incurred other operating expenses of $1,043,238 for the year ended April 30, 2008. Notable expenses in this category are: general office expenses of $254,495, rent of $225,953, loss reserve expense of $125,252, travel and entertainment of $92,411, utilities of $82,719, web development of $89,387, credit bureaus of $43,728, lease booking fees of $47,125, marketing of $40,902, maintenance contracts of $18,039 and taxes of $23,208. The Company incurred other operating expenses of $1,151,518 for the year ended April 30, 2007. Notable expenses in this category are: general office expenses of $290,621, rent of $213,570, loss reserve expense of $146,917, travel and entertainment of $133,967, utilities of $96,706, web development of $85,580, credit bureaus of $67,385, marketing of $62,730, maintenance contracts of $30,637 and taxes of $23,405. Interest costs for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2008 were $702,233 as compared to $227,829 for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2007. Depreciation and amortization for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2008 was $274,773 as compared to $323,146 for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2007.

Net Loss

Our net loss attributable to common shareholders for the year ended April 30, 2008 decreased $32,461 (0.8%) to $4,020,776 from a loss of $4,053,237, for the year ended April 30, 2007. The decrease in net loss attributable to common shareholders was primarily due to: the $669,392 (14.4%) decrease in total operating expenses from $4,639,380 to $3,969,988,the $341,694 (43.7%) increase in revenues from $ $787,997 to $1,129,691, the $769,517 (201%) increase in interest expense and financing costs from $382,7420 to $1,152,259, and the $299,456 (99%) reduction in change in value (decrease) of warrant liabilities from $299,658 to $202.

Our net loss per common share (basic and diluted) attributable to common shareholders was $0.03 for the year ended April 30, 2008 and $0.03 for the year ended April 30, 2007.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of April 30, 2008, the Company had a deficit net worth of $4,271,095. The Company generated a deficit in cash flow from operations of $2456,7531 for the year ended April 30, 2008. This deficit is primarily attributable to the Company's net loss from operations of $3,992,354, adjusted for equity based compensation of $488,700, stock based financing costs of $449,926, depreciation and amortization of $274,773, allowance for loss reserve of $26,147 and forgiveness of preferred dividends payable of $215,253 and to changes in the balances of current assets, primarily a increase in pre-paid expenses of $9,887, a increase in interest receivable of $32,550 and current liabilities, primarily an increase in accounts payable of $281,621 and an increase in restricted cash of $159,959. Cash flows used in investing activities for the year ended April 30, 200 were $2,256,393 comprising of $403,951 for the purchase of leased vehicles, and purchase of Retail Installment Sales Contracts in the amount of $1,852,442.The Company met its cash requirements during the period through net proceeds from the issuance of notes of $2,715,100 and obtaining net senior loans of $2,044,657.

While we have raised capital to meet our working capital and financing needs in the past, additional financing is required in order to meet our current and projected cash flow deficits from operations and development. We are seeking financing in the form of equity in order to provide the necessary working capital. We currently have no commitments for financing. There is no guarantee that we will be successful in raising the funds required.

We estimate that we will need approximately $2,000,000 in addition to our normal operating cash flow to conduct operations during the next twelve months. Based on capital received from equity financing to date, and certain indications of interest to purchase our equity, we believe that we have a reasonable chance to raise sufficient capital resources to meet projected cash flow deficits through the next twelve months. There can be no assurance that additional private or public financing, including debt or equity financing, will be available as needed, or, if available, on terms favorable to the Company. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to shareholders and such additional equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges that are senior to those of the Company's existing common or preferred stock. Furthermore, debt financing, if available, will require payment of interest and may involve restrictive covenants that could impose limitations on the operating flexibility of the Company. However, if we are not successful in generating sufficient liquidity from operations or in raising sufficient capital resources, on terms acceptable to us, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, liquidity and financial condition, and we will have to adjust our planned operations and development on a more limited scale.
 
15


The effect of inflation on the Company's revenue and operating results was not significant. The Company's operations are located in North America and there are no seasonal aspects that would have a material effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

AUDITOR'S OPINION EXPRESSES DOUBT ABOUT THE COMPANY'S ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A "GOING CONCERN"

The independent auditors report on our April 30, 2008 and 2007 financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report states that the Company's historical losses and the lack of revenues raise substantial doubts about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, due to the losses incurred and its lack of significant operations. If we are unable to develop our business, we have to discontinue operations or cease to exist, which would be detrimental to the value of the Company's common stock. We can make no assurances that our business operations will develop and provide us with significant cash to continue operations.

PLAN OF OPERATIONS

Addressing the Going Concern Issues

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

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

The primary issues management will focus on in the immediate future to address this matter include:

 
·
seeking additional credit facilities from institutional lenders;
 
·
seeking institutional investors for equity investments in our company; and
 
·
initiating negotiations to secure short term financing through promissory notes or other debt instruments on an as needed basis.

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

Product Research and Development

We do not anticipate incurring significant research and development expenditures during the next twelve months.

Acquisition or Disposition of Plant and Equipment

We do not anticipate the sale of any significant property, plant or equipment during the next twelve months. We do not anticipate the acquisition of any significant property, plant or equipment during the next twelve months.

Number of Employees

From our inception through the period ended April 30, 2008, we have relied on the services of outside consultants for services and currently have eighteen full-time employees. In order for us to attract and retain quality personnel, we anticipate we will have to offer competitive salaries to future employees. If we fully implement our business plan, we anticipate our employment base may increase by approximately 30% during the next twelve months. As we continue to expand, we will incur additional cost for personnel. This projected increase in personnel is dependent upon our generating revenues and obtaining sources of financing. There is no guarantee that we will be successful in raising the funds required or generating revenues sufficient to fund the projected increase in the number of employees.
 
16

 
Inflation

The impact of inflation on the costs of the Company, and the ability to pass on cost increases to its customers over time is dependent upon market conditions. The Company is not aware of any inflationary pressures that have had any significant impact on the Company’s operations over the past quarter, and the Company does not anticipate that inflationary factors will have a significant impact on future operations.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Future events, however, may differ markedly from our current expectations and assumptions. While there are a number of significant accounting policies affecting our financial statements; we believe the following critical accounting policy involves the most complex, difficult and subjective estimates and judgments:

Revenue Recognition

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

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

Our leases are accounted for as either operating leases or direct financing leases. At the inception of operating leases, no lease revenue is recognized and the leased motorcycles, together with the initial direct costs of originating the lease, which are capitalized, appear on the balance sheet as "motorcycles under operating leases-net". The capitalized cost of each motorcycle is depreciated over the lease term, on a straight-line basis, down to the original estimate of the projected value of the motorcycle at the end of the scheduled lease term (the "Residual"). Monthly lease payments are recognized as rental income. An acquisition fee classified as fee income on the financial statements is received and recognized in income at the inception of the lease. Direct financing leases are recorded at the gross amount of the lease receivable, and unearned income at lease inception is amortized over the lease term.

We realize gains and losses as the result of the termination of leases, both at and prior to their scheduled termination, and the disposition of the related motorcycle. The disposal of motorcycles, which reach scheduled termination of a lease, results in a gain or loss equal to the difference between proceeds received from the disposition of the motorcycle and its net book value. Net book value represents the residual value at scheduled lease termination. Lease terminations that occur prior to scheduled maturity as a result of the lessee's voluntary request to purchase the vehicle have resulted in net gains, equal to the excess of the price received over the motorcycle's net book value.

Early lease terminations also occur because of (i) a default by the lessee, (ii) the physical loss of the motorcycle, or (iii) the exercise of the lessee's early termination. In those instances, the Company receives the proceeds from either the resale or release of the repossessed motorcycle, or the payment by the lessee's insurer. We record a gain or loss for the difference between the proceeds received and the net book value of the motorcycle.
 
17

 
We charge fees to manufacturers and other customers related to creating a private label version of our financing program including web access, processing credit applications, consumer contracts and other related documents and processes. Fees received are amortized and booked as income over the length of the contract.

Stock-Based Compensation

On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Statement No. 123R (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment" which is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". Statement 123R supersedes APB opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and amends FASB Statement No. 95, "Statement of Cash Flows". Generally, the approach in Statement 123R is similar to the approach described in Statement 123. However, Statement 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro-forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. On April 14, 2005, the SEC amended the effective date of the provisions of this statement. The effect of this amendment by the SEC is that the Company will have to comply with Statement 123R and use the Fair Value based method of accounting no later than the fourth quarter of 2006. Management has elected to apply Statement 123R in the third quarter of fiscal year 2006.

Website Development Costs

We have incurred costs to develop a proprietary web-based private label financing program for processing including web access, processing credit applications, consumer contracts and other related documents and processes. We elected to recognize the costs of developing its website and related intellectual property the website development costs in accordance with Emerging Issue Task Force ("EITF") No. 00-02, "Accounting for Website Development Costs."" As such, the Company expenses all costs incurred that relate to the planning and post implementation phases of development of its website. Direct costs incurred in the development phase are capitalized and recognized over the estimated useful life. Costs associated with repair or maintenance for the website are included in cost of net revenues in the current period expenses.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 ” (“SFAS No. 159”).  SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.  Most of the provisions of SFAS No. 159 apply only to entities that elect the fair value option. However, the amendment to SFAS No. 115 “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” applies to all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities.  SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007.  Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provision of SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”.  The adoption of SFAS No. 159 is not expected to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), "Business Combinations" ("SFAS No. 141(R)"), which establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in an acquiree, including the recognition and measurement of goodwill acquired in a business combination. SFAS No. 141R is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited and the Company is currently evaluating the effect, if any that the adoption will have on its financial position results of operations or cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interest in Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS No. 160”), which will change the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of equity within the balance sheets. SFAS No. 160 is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited and the Company is currently evaluating the effect, if any that the adoption will have on its financial position results of operations or cash flows.

In June 2007, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee issued Statement of Position 07-1, “Clarification of the Scope of the Audit and Accounting Guide Investment Companies and Accounting by Parent Companies and Equity Method Investors for Investments in Investment Companies” (“SOP 07-1”). SOP 07-1 provides guidance for determining whether an entity is within the scope of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide Investment Companies (the “Audit Guide”). SOP 07-1 was originally determined to be effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2007, however, on February 6, 2008, FASB issued a final Staff Position indefinitely deferring the effective date and prohibiting early adoption of SOP 07-1 while addressing implementation issues.

In June 2007, the FASB ratified the consensus in EITF Issue No. 07-3, “Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services to be Used in Future Research and Development Activities” (EITF 07-3), which requires that nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services that will be used or rendered for future research and development (R&D) activities be deferred and amortized over the period that the goods are delivered or the related services are performed, subject to an assessment of recoverability. EITF 07-3 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. The Company does not expect that the adoption of EITF 07-3 will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB ratified the consensus in EITF Issue No. 07-1, “Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements” (EITF 07-1). EITF 07-1 defines collaborative arrangements and requires collaborators to present the result of activities for which they act as the principal on a gross basis and report any payments received from (made to) the other collaborators based on other applicable authoritative accounting literature, and in the absence of other applicable authoritative literature, on a reasonable, rational and consistent accounting policy is to be elected. EITF 07-1 also provides for disclosures regarding the nature and purpose of the arrangement, the entity’s rights and obligations, the accounting policy for the arrangement and the income statement classification and amounts arising from the agreement. EITF 07-1 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, which will be the Company’s fiscal year 2009, and will be applied as a change in accounting principle retrospectively for all collaborative arrangements existing as of the effective date. The Company has not yet evaluated the potential impact of adopting EITF 07-1 on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In March 2008, the FASB” issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133” (“SFAS No. 161”).   SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve financial standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows.  Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations; and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows.  It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption encouraged.  We are currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 161, if any, will have on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets”. This FSP amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”.   We are required to adopt FSP 142-3 on September 1, 2009, earlier adoption is prohibited.  The guidance in FSP 142-3 for determining the useful life of a recognized intangible asset shall be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after adoption, and the disclosure requirements shall be applied prospectively to all intangible assets recognized as of, and subsequent to, adoption.  We are currently evaluating the impact of FSP 142-3 on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles" ("SFAS No. 162").  SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (the GAAP hierarchy).  SFAS No. 162 will become effective 60 days following the SEC's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, "The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles."  We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 162 will have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP Accounting Principles Board ("APB") 14-1 "Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement) " ("FSP APB 14-1").  FSP APB 14-1 requires the issuer of certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (or other assets) on conversion to separately account for the liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer's non-convertible debt borrowing rate.  FSP APB 14-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 on a retroactive basis.  We are currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of FSP APB 14-1 on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC did not, or are not believed by management to, have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

REPORT OF REGISTERED INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors
Sparta Commercial Services, Inc.
New York, New York

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Sparta Commercial Services, Inc., as of April 30, 2008 and 2007, and the related statements of losses, deficiency in stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended April 30, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based upon our audits.

We have 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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Sparta Commercial Services, Inc. at April 30, 2008 and 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended April 30, 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in the Note Q to the accompanying financial statements, the company has suffered recurring losses from operations that raises 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 Q. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows.

Business and Basis of Presentation

Sparta Commercial Services, Inc., (the "Company”) was formed on May 13, 1980 under the laws of the State of Nevada.

The Company is in the business as an originator and indirect lender for retail installment loan and lease financing for the purchase or lease of new and used motorcycles (specifically 550cc and higher) and utility-oriented 4-stroke all terrain vehicles (ATVs). The Company was in the development stage till January 31, 2005, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7 ("SFAS No. 7").

Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

The Company originates leases on new and used motorcycles and other powersports vehicles from motorcycle dealers throughout the United States. The Company’s leases are accounted for as either operating leases or direct financing leases. At the inception of operating leases, no lease revenue is recognized and the leased motorcycles, together with the initial direct costs of originating the lease, which are capitalized, appear on the balance sheet as “motorcycles under operating leases-net”. The capitalized cost of each motorcycle is depreciated over the lease term, on a straight-line basis, down to the Company’s original estimate of the projected value of the motorcycle at the end of the scheduled lease term (the “Residual”). Monthly lease payments are recognized as rental income. Direct financing leases are recorded at the gross amount of the lease receivable (principal amount of the contract plus the calculated earned income over the life of the contract), and the unearned income at lease inception is amortized over the lease term.

The Company purchases Retail Installment Sales Contracts (“RISC”) from motorcycle dealers. The RISCs are secured by liens on the titles to the vehicles. The RISCs are accounted for as loans. Upon purchase, the RISCs appear on the Company’s balance sheet as RISC loan receivable current and long term. Interest income on these loans is recognized when it is earned.

The Company realizes gains and losses as the result of the termination of leases, both at and prior to their scheduled termination, and the disposition of the related motorcycle. The disposal of motorcycles, which reach scheduled termination of a lease, results in a gain or loss equal to the difference between proceeds received from the disposition of the motorcycle and its net book value. Net book value represents the residual value at scheduled lease termination. Lease terminations that occur prior to scheduled maturity as a result of the lessee’s voluntary request to purchase the vehicle have resulted in net gains, equal to the excess of the price received over the motorcycle’s net book value.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
APRIL 30, 2008 AND 2007

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Early lease terminations also occur because of (i) a default by the lessee, (ii) the physical loss of the motorcycle, or (iii) the exercise of the lessee’s early termination. In those instances, the Company receives the proceeds from either the resale or release of the repossessed motorcycle, or the payment by the lessee’s insurer. The Company records a gain or loss for the difference between the proceeds received and the net book value of the motorcycle.

The Company charges fees to manufacturers and other customers related to creating a private label version of the Company’s financing program including web access, processing credit applications, consumer contracts and other related documents and processes. Fees received are amortized and booked as income over the length of the contract. At April 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company had recorded deferred revenue related to these contracts of $22,617and $46,765 respectively, including unearned income from operating leases of $0 and $8,748 respectively.

The Company evaluates its operating and retail installment sales leases on an ongoing basis and has established reserves for losses, based on current and expected future experience.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined using the first-in, first-out method and with market defined as the lower of replacement cost or realizable value.

Website Development Costs

The Company recognizes website development costs in accordance with Emerging Issue Task Force ("EITF") No. 00-02, "Accounting for Website Development Costs." As such, the Company expenses all costs incurred that relate to the planning and post implementation phases of development of its website. Direct costs incurred in the development phase are capitalized and recognized over the estimated useful life. Costs associated with repair or maintenance for the website are included in cost of net revenues in the current period expenses.

Cash Equivalents

For the purpose of the accompanying financial statements, all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.

Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes are provided using the asset and liability method for financial reporting purposes in accordance with the provisions of Statements of Financial Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying values for financial reporting purposes and for operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be removed or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. Temporary differences between taxable income reported for financial reporting purposes and income tax purposes are insignificant.

APRIL 30, 2008 AND 2007

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 (SFAS 121). The Statement requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. SFAS No. 121 also requires assets to be disposed of be reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.

Comprehensive Income

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 ("SFAS 130"), Reporting Comprehensive Income," establishes standards for reporting and displaying of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, SFAS 130 requires that all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. At April 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company has no items of other comprehensive income.

Segment Information

The Company does not have separate, reportable segments under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information ("SFAS 131"). SFAS establishes standards for reporting information regarding operating segments in annual financial statements and requires selected information for those segments to be presented in interim financial reports issued to stockholders. SFAS 131 also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services and geographic areas. Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, in making decisions how to allocate resources and assess performance. The information disclosed herein, materially represents all of the financial information related to the Company's principal operating segment.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) during third quarter of Fiscal year 2006, which no longer permits the use of the intrinsic value method under APB No. 25. The Company uses the modified prospective method to adopt SFAS No. 123(R), which requires compensation expense to be recorded for all stock-based compensation granted on or after January 1, 2006, as well the unvested portion of previously granted options. The Company is recording the compensation expense on a straight-line basis, generally over the explicit service period of three to five years. The Company made no stock-based compensation grants prior to the adoption of Statement 123(R) and therefore has no unrecognized stock compensation related liabilities or expense unvested or vested prior to 2006.

We have selected the Black-Scholes method of valuation for share-based compensation and have adopted the modified prospective transition method under SFAS 123R, which requires that compensation cost be recorded, as earned, for all unvested stock options outstanding at the beginning of the third quarter of adoption of SFAS 123R. As permitted by SFAS 123R, prior periods have not been restated. The charge is being recognized in non cash compensation, which is included in stock-based compensation expense, on a straight-line basis over the remaining service period after the adoption date based on the options’ original estimate of fair value. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company applied the intrinsic-value-based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting

Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (“APB 25”), “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” Under this method, compensation cost was recorded only if the market price of the underlying stock on the grant date exceeded the exercise price. As permitted by SFAS 123, the Company elected the disclosure only requirements of SFAS 123. The fair-value based method used to determine historical pro forma amounts under SFAS 123 was similar in most respects to the method used to determine stock-based compensation expense under SFAS 123R.

The following tables illustrates the effect that adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) had on the Company's year ended April 30, 2008 results and cash flows as well as the parameters used in the valuation of options granted in the year ended April 30, 2008.

We apply SFAS No. 123 in valuing options granted to consultants and estimate the fair value of such options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value is recorded as consulting expense as services are provided. Options granted to consultants for which vesting is contingent based on future performance are measured at their then current fair value at each period end, until vested. 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments and related items, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and trade receivables. The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with high credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit

Allowance for Losses
 
The Company has loss reserves for its portfolio of Leases and for its portfolio of Retail Installment Sales Contracts (“RISC”). The allowance for Lease and RISC losses is increased by charges against earnings and decreased by charge-offs (net of recoveries). To the extent actual credit losses exceed these reserves, a bad debt provision is recorded; and to the extent credit losses are less than the reserve, additions to the reserve are reduced or discontinued until the loss reserve is in line with the Company’s reserve ratio policy. Management’s periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on the Company’s past lease and RISC experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, and current economic conditions. The Company periodically reviews its Lease and RISC receivables in determining its allowance for doubtful accounts. At April 30, 2008 and 2007, allowance for doubtful RISC accounts receivable was $86,312 and $59,338 respectively, and its allowance for doubtful Lease account receivable was $25,231 and $26,059 respectively.

The Company charges-off receivables when an individual account has become more than 120 days contractually delinquent. In the event of repossession, the asset is immediately sent to auction or held for release.

Derivative Financial Instruments

In connection with the private placement described in Preferred Stock Series A note, the Company granted 1,755,537 common stock purchase warrants to the placement agent. The warrants are exercisable immediately, have an exercise price of $0.215 per share and expire in five years. The warrants were valued at $1,033,100 using the Black-Sholes pricing model. The assumption ranges used in the Black-Scholes model are as follows:  (1) dividend yield of 0%; (2) expected volatility of 174% - 177%, (3) risk-free interest rate of 3.65% - 4.7%, and (4) expected life of 2 years.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
APRIL 30, 2008 AND 2007

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Since the warrants contained registration rights for the underlying shares and since the delivery of such registered shares was not deemed controllable by the Company, we recorded the net value of the warrants at the date of issuance as a warrant liability on the balance sheet at April 30, 2006 of $834,924. A Registration Statement under Form SB-2, including the shares underlying the warrants, was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 31, 2006. Therefore, the change in the fair value from April 30, 2006 to May 31, 2006 was included in other income (expense) for the year ended April 30, 2007, in accordance with EITF 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock”. The fair value of the warrants was $567,069 and $834,924 at May 31, 2006 and April 30, 2006, respectively. Additionally, as the Registration Statement covering the underlying shares was declared effective, the accrued warrant liability at May 31, 2006 was credited to additional-paid in capital. The amount credited to additional-paid-in capital was $567,069.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Minor additions and renewals are expensed in the year incurred. Major additions and renewals are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives. Estimated useful lives of major depreciable assets are as follows:
Leasehold improvements
   
3 years
 
Furniture and fixtures
   
7 years
 
Website costs
   
3 years
 
Computer Equipment
   
5 years
 

Advertising Costs

The Company follows a policy of charging the costs of advertising to expenses incurred. During the years ended April 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company incurred advertising costs of $24,274 and $26,670, respectively.

Net Loss Per Share

The Company uses SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share” for calculating the basic and diluted loss per share. We compute basic loss per share by dividing net loss and net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential shares had been issued and if the additional shares were dilutive. Common equivalent shares are excluded from the computation of net loss per share if their effect is anti-dilutive.

Per share basic and diluted net loss attributable to common stockholders amounted to $0.03 and $0.03 for the years ended April 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. At April 30, 2008 and 2007, 87,421,173 and 31,028,051 potential shares, respectively, were excluded from the shares used to calculate diluted earnings per share as their inclusion would reduce net loss per share.

Liquidity

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred a net loss of $3,992,354 and $3,934,467 during the years ended April 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Company’s liabilities exceed its assets by $4,271,095 as of April 30, 2008.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to conform prior periods' data to the current presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported losses.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 ” (“SFAS No. 159”).  SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.  Most of the provisions of SFAS No. 159 apply only to entities that elect the fair value option. However, the amendment to SFAS No. 115 “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” applies to all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities.  SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007.  Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provision of SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”.  The adoption of SFAS No. 159 is not expected to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), "Business Combinations" ("SFAS No. 141(R)"), which establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in an acquiree, including the recognition and measurement of goodwill acquired in a business combination. SFAS No. 141R is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited and the Company is currently evaluating the effect, if any that the adoption will have on its financial position results of operations or cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interest in Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS No. 160”), which will change the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of equity within the balance sheets. SFAS No. 160 is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited and the Company is currently evaluating the effect, if any that the adoption will have on its financial position results of operations or cash flows.

In June 2007, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee issued Statement of Position 07-1, “Clarification of the Scope of the Audit and Accounting Guide Investment Companies and Accounting by Parent Companies and Equity Method Investors for Investments in Investment Companies” (“SOP 07-1”). SOP 07-1 provides guidance for determining whether an entity is within the scope of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide Investment Companies (the “Audit Guide”). SOP 07-1 was originally determined to be effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2007, however, on February 6, 2008, FASB issued a final Staff Position indefinitely deferring the effective date and prohibiting early adoption of SOP 07-1 while addressing implementation issues.

In June 2007, the FASB ratified the consensus in EITF Issue No. 07-3, “Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services to be Used in Future Research and Development Activities” (EITF 07-3), which requires that nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services that will be used or rendered for future research and development (R&D) activities be deferred and amortized over the period that the goods are delivered or the related services are performed, subject to an assessment of recoverability. EITF 07-3 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. The Company does not expect that the adoption of EITF 07-3 will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB ratified the consensus in EITF Issue No. 07-1, “Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements” (EITF 07-1). EITF 07-1 defines collaborative arrangements and requires collaborators to present the result of activities for which they act as the principal on a gross basis and report any payments received from (made

to) the other collaborators based on other applicable authoritative accounting literature, and in the absence of other applicable authoritative literature, on a reasonable, rational and consistent accounting policy is to be elected. EITF 07-1 also provides for disclosures regarding the nature and purpose of the arrangement, the entity’s rights and obligations, the accounting policy for the arrangement and the income statement classification and amounts arising from the agreement. EITF 07-1 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, which will be the Company’s fiscal year 2009, and will be applied as a change in accounting principle retrospectively for all collaborative arrangements existing as of the effective date. The Company has not yet evaluated the potential impact of adopting EITF 07-1 on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In March 2008, the FASB” issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133” (“SFAS No. 161”).   SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve financial standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows.  Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations; and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows.  It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption encouraged.  We are currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 161, if any, will have on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets”. This FSP amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”.   We are required to adopt FSP 142-3 on September 1, 2009, earlier adoption is prohibited.  The guidance in FSP 142-3 for determining the useful life of a recognized intangible asset shall be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after adoption, and the disclosure requirements shall be applied prospectively to all intangible assets recognized as of, and subsequent to, adoption.  We are currently evaluating the impact of FSP 142-3 on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles" ("SFAS No. 162").  SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (the GAAP hierarchy).  SFAS No. 162 will become effective 60 days following the SEC's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, "The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles."  We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 162 will have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP Accounting Principles Board ("APB") 14-1 "Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement) " ("FSP APB 14-1").  FSP APB 14-1 requires the issuer of certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (or other assets) on conversion to separately account for the liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer's non-convertible debt borrowing rate.  FSP APB 14-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 on a retroactive basis.  We are currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of FSP APB 14-1 on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC did not, or are not believed by management to, have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

During the year ended April 30, 2006, the Company issued 17,750 preferred shares at a stated value of $100 per share and warrants to purchase 5,689,108 shares of common stock, exercisable for three years at $0.195 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,775,000 received from investors. In connection with the private placement, during the three months ended July 31, 2005, the Company issued as compensation to the placement agent warrants to purchase 1,137,822 shares of common stock, exercisable for five years at $0.172 per share. The warrants, which were valued at $406,665 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, were recognized as an expense during the year. The warrants, which were valued at $406,665 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, were recognized as an expense during the quarter. The assumptions used in the Black Scholes model are as follows: (1) dividend yield of 0%; (2) expected volatility of 188%, (3) weighted average risk-free interest rate of 3.65%, and (4) expected life of 2 years.

In accordance with EITF 00-27, a portion of the proceeds were allocated to the warrants based on their relative fair value, which totaled $931,800 using the Black Scholes option pricing model. Further, the Company attributed a beneficial conversion feature of $843,200 to the series `A' preferred shares based upon the difference between the conversion price of those shares and the closing price of our common shares on the date of issuance. The assumptions used in the Black Scholes model are as follows: (1) dividend yield of 0%; (2) expected volatility of 188%, (3) weighted average risk-free interest rate of 3.65%, and (4) expected life of 2 years as the conversion feature and warrants are immediately exercisable. Both the fair value of the class `C' warrants and the beneficial conversion feature were recorded as a dividend and were included in the financial statements of that period.

In connection with the private placement described above, the Company granted 1,755,537 common stock purchase warrants to the placement agent. The warrants were exercisable immediately, have an exercise price of $0.215 per share and expire in five years. The warrants were valued at $1,033,100 using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The assumption ranges used in the Black-Scholes model are as follows:  (1) dividend yield of 0%; (2) expected volatility of 174% - 177%, (3) risk-free interest rate of 3.65% - 4.7%, and (4) expected life of 2 years.

Since the warrants contain registration rights for the underlying shares and since the delivery of such registered shares was not deemed controllable by the Company, we recorded the net value of the warrants at the date of issuance as a warrant liability on the balance sheet at April 30, 2006 of $834,924. A Registration Statement under Form SB-2, including the shares underlying the warrants, was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 31, 2006. Therefore, the change in the fair value from April 30, 2006 to May 31, 2006 was included in other income (expense) for three months ended January 31, 2007, in accordance with EITF 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock”. The fair value of the warrants was $567,069 and $834,924 at May 31, 2006 and April 30, 2006, respectively. Additionally, as the Registration Statement covering the underlying shares was declared effective, the accrued warrant liability at May 31, 2006 was credited to additional-paid in capital. The amount credited to additional-paid-in capital was $567,069.

Preferred Stock Series A

On July 20, 2007, one shareholder holding 16,745 shares of preferred stock converted those shares into 10,733,974 shares of common stock and forgave $215,253 in accumulated but unpaid dividends on the preferred shares. On January 31, 2008, three shareholders holding 2,225 shares of preferred stock converted those shares into 1,426,230 shares of common stock. The 12,160,210, shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the preferred shares had not been physically issued as of April 30, 2008. These unissued shares are not included in the outstanding shares. The forgiven dividends were recognized as additional paid-in capital.

NOTE K - INCOME TAXES

Financial Accounting Standard No. 109 requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statement or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Temporary differences between taxable income reported for financial reporting purposes and income tax purposes are insignificant.

At April 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company has available for federal income tax purposes a net operating loss carry forward of approximately $16,880,000 and $13,280,000 expiring in the year 2028 and 2027, respectively, that may be used to offset future taxable income. The Company has provided a valuation reserve against the full amount of the net operating loss benefit, since in the opinion of management based upon the earnings history of the Company; it is more likely than not that the benefits will not be realized. Also, due to change in the control after reverse acquisition of Sparta Commercial Services, Inc., the Company's past accumulated losses to be carried forward may be limited.

During December 2005, the Company granted options to purchase an aggregate of 160,000 shares of common stock to two employees. The options have been valued at $75,795 using the Black-Sholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: (1) dividend yield of 0%; (2) expected volatility of 177%, (3) risk-free interest rate of 4.38%, and (4) expected life of 3 years. The options have an exercise price of $0.59, vest over a 38 month period and expire if unexercised in ten years.

During the year ended April 30, 2007, the Company granted options to purchase an aggregate of 4,500,000 shares of common stock to one employee and one Director. At grant date, 1,000,000 options vested immediately. The vested and unvested options have been valued at $636,433 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: (1) dividend yield of 0%; (2) expected volatility of 131%; (3) risk-free interest rate of 5.04% and 5.24%, vest over a 36 month period and expire if unexercised in five years.

During the year ended April 30, 2008, the Company granted options to purchase an aggregate of 1,170,000 shares of common stock to thirteen employees. However, four employees left during the three months ended July 31, 2007 and two employees left during the three months ended January 31, 2008. As a result of these resignations, 530,000 unexercised options were cancelled. The remaining vested and unvested options have been valued at $51,795 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: (1) dividend yield of 0%; (2) expected volatility of 143%; (3) risk-free interest rate of 4.76%, vest over a 48 month period and expire if unexercised in ten years.

The Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) during third quarter of Fiscal year 2006, which no longer permits the use of the intrinsic value method under APB No. 25. The Company uses the modified prospective method to adopt SFAS No. 123(R), which requires compensation expense to be recorded for all stock-based compensation granted on or after January 1, 2006, as well the unvested portion of previously granted options. The Company is recording the compensation expense on a straight-line basis, generally over the explicit service period of three years. The Company made no stock-based compensation grants prior to the adoption of Statement 123(R) and therefore has no unrecognized stock compensation related liabilities or expense unvested or vested prior to 2006.

For the past 15 years, Ms. Ahman has been a volunteer with The Children's Aid Society in New York City, a membership of 500 committed volunteers, serving from 2000 to 2002 as President of its Associates Council, from 2002 to 2005 as Chairman of the Associates Council, and since 2002 as a member of the Advisory Council of their Board of Trustees.

Board of Directors, Committees and Meetings

Our directors are elected annually to serve for one year and hold office until the next annual meeting of the shareholders and until their successors are elected and qualified. Our Board of Directors may increase the size of the Board of Directors. Any director who fills a position created by the Board of Directors serves until the next annual meeting of the shareholders. Our officers are elected by the Board of Directors at the first meeting after each annual meeting of our shareholders, and hold office until their death, resignation or removal from office.

There are no family relationships among our executive officers or directors. None of our directors or officers are directors of another reporting company. None of the directors and officers during the past five years have been: involved in a bankruptcy petition or a pending criminal proceeding; convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic and minor offenses); subject to any order, judgment, or decree, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his or her involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; or found by a court, the SEC or the CFTC to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law.

During the fiscal year that ended on April 30, 2008, the Board of Directors did not hold any formal meetings. Matters were undertaken by written consent by the Board of Directors.

Our Board does not maintain a separately-designated standing audit, nominating or compensation committee or similar committee of the Board of Directors. Functions customarily performed by such committees are performed by our Board as a whole. We are not required to maintain such committees under the applicable rules of the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board. None of our directors qualify as an "audit committee financial expert."

The Board of Directors has not adopted a specific process with respect to security holder communications, but security holders wishing to communicate with the Board of Directors may do so by mailing such communications to the Board of Directors at our offices.

Conflicts of Interest

Certain management employees of our company have worked for American Motorcycle Leasing Corp. and will continue to do so on a limited basis for the near future as we transition from a development stage company and commence active operations. While our business plans differ from those of American Motorcycle Leasing Corp., we operate in the same industry as American Motorcycle Leasing Corp. Mr. Havens was an officer, director and significant equity owner of American Motorcycle Leasing Corporation through 2004. Pursuant to a license agreement between Sparta Commercial Services and American Motorcycle Leasing Corp., Sparta Commercial Services issued 330,433 membership interests to American Motorcycle Leasing Corp., which were exchanged for 34,256,941 shares of our common stock. Officers and directors of Sparta who are also shareholders of American Motorcycle Leasing Corp. disclaimed ownership of, and entitled to, any of those shares. Issues could arise with respect to the taking of corporate opportunities of each other. Any competition with American Motorcycle Leasing Corp. could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition. Accordingly, we may be
 
53


subject to legal proceedings and claims, including claims of alleged infringement of the intellectual property, competition, conflict of interest, and other business governance related claims. Such claims, even if not meritorious, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources.

Code of Ethics

We have not yet adopted a "code of ethics", as defined by the SEC, which applies to our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, principal accounting officer or controller and persons performing similar functions. We are in the process of drafting and adopting a Code of Ethics, and have not previously adopted a code of ethics as our operations have been limited and we have had a small number of employees since inception.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires Sparta’s executive officers, directors, and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of Sparta's common stock to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission initial reports of beneficial ownership and reports of changes in beneficial ownership of Sparta’s common stock. Such persons are also required by Securities and Exchange Commission regulations to furnish Sparta with copies of all such Section 16(a) forms filed by such person. Based solely on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to Sparta in connection with the fiscal year ended April 30, 2008, Sparta is not aware of any material delinquencies in the filing of such reports.

Common Stock Ownership

The table below sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of April 30, 2008 by:

 
·
each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common stock;
 
·
each of our directors;
 
·
each of our executive officers; and
 
·
our executive officers and directors as a group.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and includes voting and investment power. Under SEC rules, a person is deemed to be the beneficial owner of securities which may be acquired by such person upon the exercise of options and warrants or the conversion of convertible securities within 60 days from the date on which beneficial ownership is to be determined. Each beneficial owner's percentage ownership is determined by dividing the number of shares beneficially owned by that person by the base number of outstanding shares, increased to reflect the beneficially-owned shares underlying options, warrants or other convertible securities included in that person's holdings, but not those underlying shares held by any other person.

Unless indicated otherwise, the address for each person named is c/o Sparta Commercial Services, Inc., 462 Seventh Ave, 20th Floor, New York, NY 10018.

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

Audit Fees

Fees for audit services provided by RBSM LLP (formerly Russell Bedford Stefanou Mirchandani LLP), our principal independent registered public accounting firm, during the fiscal years ended April 30, 2008 and 2007 were $162,046 and $150,390, respectively. Audit fees consist of the aggregate fees billed for the audits of our annual financial statements, the reviews of our quarterly financial statements, and services that are normally provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years.

Audit-Related Fees

Fees for audit-related services provided by our principal independent registered public accounting firm during the fiscal years ended April 30, 2008 and 2007 were $0. Audit-related fees consist of fees billed for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements outside of those fees disclosed above under the caption Audit Fees.

Tax Fees

Fees for tax services provided by our principal independent registered public accounting firm during the fiscal years ended April 30, 2008 and 2007 were $0. Tax fees consist of fees billed for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning.

All Other Fees

There were no other fees billed for services for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2008 and 2007.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

Our Board of Directors has a policy that requires pre-approval of all audit, audit-related, tax services, and other services, including non-audit services, performed by our independent registered public accounting firm. All services performed by our principal independent registered public accounting firm, and all fees paid, in our fiscal years ended April 30, 2008 and 2007 were pre-approved. The Board of Directors is responsible for matters typically performed by an audit committee. We do not presently have a separate audit committee of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors considered whether, and determined that, the auditor's provision of non-audit services was compatible with maintaining the auditor's independence.
