ELECTRIC CAR COMPANY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

(f/k/a classic Costume Company, Inc. and Subsidiary)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS UNAUDITED

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Electric Car Company, Inc. (“ELCR”, “we”, “our” or “the Company”) was formed as a Delaware corporation on December 29, 2006 initially to produce and market our unique line of historical costumes and reenactment clothing lines through our website with the registered domain name of WorldWideRelics.Com. On January 17, 2007, in consideration for 100% of the outstanding shares of World Wide Relics, Inc. (“WWR”) (a Nevada corporation formed on January 8, 2005), we issued 201,000 shares of common stock and a promissory note for $30,000 that was subsequently forgiven. The accompanying financial statements include the operations of WWR.

In February 2009, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the spin-off of our wholly owned subsidiary, World Wide Relics, Inc., a Nevada corporation, to shareholders of record on November 1, 2008 (the “Record Date”). Shareholders as of the Record Date received one share of World Wide Relics, Inc. for each two shares held in the Company on the Record Date.  At the time of the spin-off, World Wide Relics had an immaterial amount of assets, liabilities and equity and no revenues and expenses.

In April 2009, we began to execute a new business plan wherein, the Company began operations as a marketer and distributor of automobiles, small buses, specialty vehicles, limousines and custom vehicles. In connection with this change in our business model, in August 2009, the Company acquired Imperial Coachworks, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Imperial Coachbuilders, Inc. whose assets and liabilities consisted of a database, website and assumption of a note payable.

In October 2009, we change our name from Classic Costume Company, Inc. to Electric Car Company, Inc.  

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for reporting of interim financial information. Pursuant to such rules and regulations, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these statements do not include all the disclosures normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in this report and the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2009 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2009 has been derived from our audited financial statements. The condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period or for the year ending December 31, 2010.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normally recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations as of the dates and for the periods presented.

All share and per share data contained in this report have been retroactively restated to reflect a 7 for 1 (7:1) forward split of our common stock effective July 1, 2009. The par value of $0.001 per share remained unchanged.

Liquidity

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which contemplate continuation as a going concern. We have sustained substantial losses from operations since our inception, and such losses have continued through March 31,2010. At March 31, 2010, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $3,363,274 million. These matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

ELECTRIC CAR COMPANY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

(f/k/a classic Costume Company, Inc. and Subsidiary)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS UNAUDITED (CONTINUED)


NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

In 2010, our cash and cash equivalents will primarily be used to fund our ongoing operations including expanding our sales and marketing capabilities on a global basis as well as for general working capital. We believe our cash, cash equivalents and investment balances are sufficient to support our planned operations for at least the next twelve months.

Principles of Consolidation and Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Electric Car Company, Inc. and its wholly owned operating subsidiaries Imperial Coach Builders, Inc. (“ICB”) and Imperial Coach Works, Inc. (“ICW”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

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

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments and other short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are reported at net realizable value. The Company has establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on factors pertaining to the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other information. Delinquent accounts are written-off when it is determined that the amounts are uncollectible. At March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company had recognized an allowance for doubtful accounts of $0 and $900, respectively.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the FIFO method. To ensure inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market, the Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of its inventories. The Company also periodically performs an evaluation of inventory for excess and obsolete items. Such evaluations are based on management’s judgment and use of estimates. Such estimates incorporate inventory quantities on-hand, aging of the inventory, sales forecasts for particular product groupings, planned dispositions of product lines and overall industry trends.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets (primarily three to five years). Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life. Costs of maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

Stock Based Compensation

We account for the grant of stock options and restricted stock awards in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Share-Based Payment, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123”. The Topic requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity based compensation. Such compensation amounts are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the options granted. At March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company had no common stock purchase options outstanding.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS UNAUDITED (CONTINUED)


NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Recoverability of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews the recoverability of its long-lived assets on a periodic basis whenever events and changes in circumstances have occurred which may indicate a possible impairment. The assessment for potential impairment is based primarily on the Company’s ability to recover the carrying value of its long-lived assets from expected future cash flows from its operations on an undiscounted basis. If such assets are determined to be impaired, the impairment recognized is the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Property and equipment to be disposed of by sale is carried at the lower of the then current carrying value or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if an event indicates that the asset might be impaired. In accordance with ASC Topic 350, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, the fair value of these intangible assets is determined based on a discounted cash flow methodology.

Revenue Recognition

The Company follows the guidance of ASC Topic 605, formerly, SAB 104 for revenue recognition. In general, the Company records revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.

Revenues from services are recognized when the services are performed, evidence of an arrangement exists, the fee is fixed and determinable and collectability is probable. In circumstances when these criteria are not met, revenue recognition is deferred until resolution occurs. With regard to our custom vehicles, revenue is recognized when the vehicle is delivered and accepted by our customer.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. The Topic requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities, and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss carry-forwards. The topic additionally requires the establishment of a valuation allowance to reflect the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets. Deferred income taxes are determined using the liability method for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and income tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Deferred income taxes are measured based on the tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences are included in the Company’s tax return. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on anticipated future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. 

Earnings (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock

The Company presents basic earnings (loss) per share and, if appropriate, diluted earnings per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Under the topic basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) for the period by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income for the period by the weighted-average number of common share equivalents during the period. At March 31, 2010, there were no options or warrants outstanding. Potentially issuable shares under convertible debt agreements were not considered in diluted earnings per share as their inclusion was anti-dilutive.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, accounts receivable and payable approximate fair value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.

ELECTRIC CAR COMPANY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

(f/k/a classic Costume Company, Inc. and Subsidiary)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS UNAUDITED (CONTINUED)


NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)

Fair value of certain of the Company’s financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, inventory, account payable, accrued expenses, notes payables, and other accrued liabilities approximate cost because of their short maturities. The Company measures and reports fair value in accordance with ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value investments.

Fair value, as defined in ASC 820, is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value of an asset should reflect its highest and best use by market participants, principal (or most advantageous) markets, and an in-use or an in-exchange valuation premise. The fair value of a liability should reflect the risk of nonperformance, which includes, among other things, the Company’s credit risk.

Valuation techniques are generally classified into three categories: the market approach; the income approach; and the cost approach. The selection and application of one or more of the techniques may require significant judgment and are primarily dependent upon the characteristics of the asset or liability, and the quality and availability of inputs. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under ASC 820 must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. ASC 820 also provides fair value hierarchy for inputs and resulting measurement as follows:

Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair values.

Fair value measurements are required to be disclosed by the Level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements in their entirety fall. Fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (in Level 3 measurements) are subject to expanded disclosure requirements including a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances, separately presenting changes during the period attributable to the following: (i) total gains or losses for the period (realized and unrealized), segregating those gains or losses included in earnings, and a description of where those gains or losses included in earning are reported in the statement of income.

Intangible Assets

The Company accounts for intangible assets in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 350, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” which requires intangible assets with indefinite useful lives not be amortized, but be tested for impairment annually or whenever indicators or impairments arise. Intangible assets that have finite lives continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives.

Shipping and Handling Costs

The Company accounts for shipping and handling costs as a component of “Cost of Sales.”

Recent Issued Accounting Standards

In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-05 which includes amendments to Subtopic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures—Overall”. The update provides clarification that in circumstances, in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the techniques provided for in this update. The amendments in this ASU clarify that a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of the liability and also clarifies that both a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability at the measurement date and the quoted price for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required are Level 1 fair value measurements. The guidance provided in this ASU is effective for the first reporting period, including interim periods, beginning after issuance. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In September 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-06, Income Taxes (Topic 740), ”Implementation Guidance on Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes and Disclosure Amendments for Nonpublic Entities”, which provides implementation guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, as well as eliminates certain disclosure requirements for nonpublic entities. For entities that are currently applying the standards for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, this update became effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. For those entities that have deferred the application of accounting for uncertainty in income taxes in accordance with paragraph 740-10-65-1(e), this update shall be effective upon adoption of those standards. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations since this accounting standard update provides only implementation and disclosure amendments.

In September 2009, the FASB has published ASU No. 2009-12, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) - Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent)”. This ASU amends Subtopic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Overall”, to permit a reporting entity to measure the fair value of certain investments on the basis of the net asset value per share of the investment (or its equivalent). This ASU also requires new disclosures, by major category of investments including the attributes of investments within the scope of this amendment to the Codification. The guidance in this Update was effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2009. Early application was permitted.  The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In October 2009, the FASB has published ASU 2009-13, “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605)-Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements”, which addresses the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products or services (deliverables) separately rather than as a combined unit. Specifically, this guidance amends the criteria in Subtopic 605-25, “Revenue Recognition-Multiple-Element Arrangements”, for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements. This guidance establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable, which is based on: (a) vendor-specific objective evidence; (b) third-party evidence; or (c) estimates. This guidance also eliminates the residual method of allocation and requires that arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method and also requires expanded disclosures. The guidance in this update is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Recent Issued Accounting Standards (continued)

In December 2009, the FASB has published ASU 2009-16 “Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets.” ASU No. 2009-16 is a revision to ASC 860, “Transfers and Servicing,” and amends the guidance on accounting for transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, where entities have continued exposure to risks related to transferred financial assets. ASU No. 2009-16 also expands the disclosure requirements for such transactions. This ASU will become effective for us on April 1, 2010. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In December 2009, the FASB has published ASU 2009-17 “Consolidations (Topic 810): Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities.” ASU No. 2009-17 amends the guidance for consolidation of VIEs primarily related to the determination of the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In January 2010, the FASB has published ASU 2010-01 “Equity (Topic 505) - Accounting for Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash—a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force,” as codified in ASC 505. ASU No. 2010-01 clarifies the treatment of certain distributions to shareholders that have both stock and cash components. The stock portion of such distributions is considered a share issuance that is reflected in earnings per share prospectively and is not a stock dividend. The amendments in this Update became effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009 and should be applied on a retrospective basis. Early adoption was permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company’s (consolidated) financial position and results of operations.

In January 2010, the FASB has published ASU 2010-02 “Consolidation (Topic 810) - Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary—a Scope Clarification,” as codified in ASC 810, “Consolidation”. This ASU clarifies the applicable scope of ASC 810 for a decrease in ownership in a subsidiary or an exchange of a group of assets that is a business or nonprofit activity. The ASU also requires expanded disclosures. The amendments in this Update are effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009, and should be applied on a retrospective basis. The adoption of this standard did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In January 2010, the FASB has published ASU 2010-06 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): - Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”. ASU No. 2010-06 clarifies improve disclosure requirement related to fair value measurements and disclosures – Overall Subtopic (Subtopic 820-10) of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosure about purchase, sales, issuances, and settlement in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments in this Update are effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009, and should be applied on a retrospective basis. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Other ASUs not effective until after March 31, 2010 are not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has a limited operating history and has not generated sufficient revenues to achieve profitability. Additionally, the Company’s ongoing expenses, primarily registration, legal accounting costs, have been paid through funds advanced to it by certain shareholders. The Company intends to resolve its liquidity problems through pursuing a merger or combination with a profitable third party, obtaining additional financing or locating additional investors. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 4 - EQUITY TRANSACTIONS

The Company was incorporated on December 29, 2006. The Company is authorized to issue the following:

Preferred Stock - 10,000,000 $.001 par value shares.

Common Stock – 5,000,000,000 $.001 par value shares.

In April 2009, the Company filed with the Secretary of the State of Delaware to increase the authorized capital of the Corporation to be 205,000,000 (Two Hundred Five Million), consisting of 200,000,000 (Two Hundred Million) shares of common stock, par value of $0.001 and 5,000,000 (Five Million) shares of preferred stock, par value of $0.001 per shares.

In May 2009, the Company issued 1,408,051 restricted common shares to a consultant for assistance provided in securing additional capital resources. The Company recognized an expense in the quarter of $46,185 or $0.0328 per share, which management considers its fair value based on a previous private transaction of similar restricted shares.

On July 1, 2009, the shares of common stock currently issued was split forward at a ratio of seven (7) new shares for each one (1) old share, with the par value remaining at $.001 per share.

On September 1, 2009 the Company issued 1,000,000 common shares to a consultant to provide sales and marketing services for 90 days. The Company recognized an expense of $150,000 or $0.15 per share, which management considers its fair value based on our market price in similar trades at that date.

On October 1, 2009 the Company issued 1,000,000 common shares to a consultant to provide business sales and design support services for 1 year. The Company recognized an expense of $30,000 or $0.03 per share, which management considers its fair value based on our market price in similar trades at that date.

On November 5, 2009 the Company issued 1,000,000 common shares to a consultant to provide merger and acquisition services for 90 days. The Company recognized an expense of $49,000 or $0.049 per share, which management considers its fair value based on our market price in similar trades at that date.

On December 1, 2009 the Company issued 10,000,000 common shares to a consultant to provide electric car conversion and franchising of systems services for 3 years. The agreement provides that the shares become vested over the contract period commencing after completing the first year of service. Accordingly, the Company recognized $50,000 in consulting expense in the current quarter. The value of the shares at grant date is $400,000 or $0.04 per share which management considers its fair value based on our market price in similar trades at that date. The consulting contract is currently in dispute and the Company may terminate the contract in the second quarter 2010.

On December 29, 2009 the Company issued 2,000,000 common shares to a consultant to provide sales and marketing services for 90 days. The Company recognized an expense of $74,000 or $0.037 per share, which management considers its fair value based on our market price in similar trades at that date.

NOTE 8 – NOTES PAYABLE, SHORT TERM (continued)

The Joseph Rosen Foundation, Inc. 20% note dated April 16, 2009 was issued to provide working capital for the Company. The note is secured and accrues interest at 20%, which was initially payable at maturity on August 16, 2009. The note was in default but a portion of the note is currently being converted into common stock. The note is guaranteed by an officer of the Company.  The note also provided for the issuance of 400,000 warrants at a strike price of $0.30, which are valid for 5 years. The warrants were restricted and could not be exercised before April 15, 2010. The warrants were valued at $126,856 at the grant date, based on the Black-Scholes-Merton model. Accordingly, the Company has recorded the value of the warrants issued as debt discount and amortized the discount over the life the note, which resulted in $51,640 of additional interest expense in Q3 2009 and $0 of unamortized debt discount remaining. In March 2010, this note was modified concurrent with a transfer to Longside Ventures LLC and the 400,000 warrants were cancelled. The new notes mature between January and March 2012. As they are immediately convertible into common shares of the Company at the option of the holder, they are classified as a current liability.

The Shareholder Notes at December 31, 2009 represent a series of unsecured advances over the past 2 fiscal quarters that are due 90 days after the advance and bear interest at 10%, payable at maturity. No repayments have been made during 2009 and approximately $163,400 of the notes were past due at December 31, 2009.  During Q1 2010, the notes were renegotiated and extended for six months from their previous maturity date.

The Electric Vehicle Conversion Consultant notes at December 31, 2009 represent a series of unsecured advances made to or on behalf of the Company over the past 2 fiscal quarters that are due 90 days after the advance and bear interest at 10%, payable at maturity.

The primary consultant is a shareholder of the Company. In February 2010, these notes were modified concurrent with a transfer to Financial Pacific. The notes matures in March 2012. As the notes are immediately convertible into common shares of the Company at the option of the holder, they are classified as a current liability.

The SEC Administration Consultant notes at December 31, 2009 represent a series of unsecured advances made to or on behalf of the Company over the past 2 fiscal quarters that are due 90 days after the advance and bear interest at 10%, payable at maturity.

NOTE 10 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

We have evaluated events and transactions that occurred subsequent to March 31, 2010, through the date the financial statements were issued, for potential recognition or disclosure in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Subsequent to March 31, 2010, several of the Company’s then outstanding notes payable were converted into shares of the Company’s common stock. As a result of these negotiated conversions, the Company issued approximately 288,082,299 shares of its common stock in settlement of approximately $276,000 in debt. The conversion ratios under the notes range from a 25% discount to market price of the Company’s common stock to a 75% discount to market price for the Company’s common stock.

Other than the disclosures show, we did not identify any events or transactions through May 24, 2010 that should be recognized or disclosed in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2:

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements are based on our management’s beliefs, assumptions and expectations and on information currently available to our management. Generally, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “projects,” “predicts,” “potential” and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements, which generally are not historical in nature. All statements that address operating or financial performance, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future are forward-looking statements, including without limitation our expectations with respect to product sales, future financings, or the commercial success of our products. We may not actually achieve the plans, projections or expectations disclosed in forward-looking statements, and actual results, developments or events could differ materially from those disclosed in the forward-looking statements. Our management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made. However, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements because they speak only as of the date when made. We do not assume any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required by federal securities laws and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). We may not actually achieve the plans, projections or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and actual results, developments or events could differ materially from those disclosed in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including without limitation those described in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 15, 2010, and those described from time to time in our future reports filed with the SEC.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We prepare our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. We are required to make estimates and judgments in preparing our financial statements that affect the reported amounts of our assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. We base our estimates on our historical experience to the extent practicable and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances and at the time they are made. If our assumptions prove inaccurate or if our future results are not consistent with our historical experience, we may be required to make adjustments in our policies that affect our reported results. Our most critical accounting policies and estimates include: revenue recognition, inventory capitalization and intangibles. We also have other key accounting policies that are less subjective and, therefore, their application would not have a material impact on our reported results of operations. The following is a discussion of our most critical policies, as well as the estimates and judgments involved.

Revenue Recognition

The Company follows the guidance of ASC Topic 605, formerly, SAB 104 for revenue recognition. In general, the Company records revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.

Revenues from services are recognized when the services are performed, evidence of an arrangement exists, the fee is fixed and determinable and collectability is probable. In circumstances when these criteria are not met, revenue recognition is deferred until resolution occurs. Accordingly, we recognize revenues related to our vehicles when the vehicle has been completed to our customer’s specifications and is delivered to and accepted by our customer.



15






Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the FIFO method. To ensure inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market, the Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of its inventories. The Company also periodically performs an evaluation of inventory for excess and obsolete items. Such evaluations are based on management’s judgment and use of estimates. Such estimates incorporate inventory quantities on-hand, aging of the inventory, sales forecasts for particular product groupings, planned dispositions of product lines and overall industry trends.

Intangible Assets

The Company accounts for intangible assets in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 350, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” which requires intangible assets with indefinite useful lives not be amortized, but be tested for impairment annually or whenever indicators or impairments arise. Intangible assets that have finite lives continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives. 

Overview

During the second quarter of 2009, the Company began operations as a marketer and distributor of customized automobiles, small buses, specialty vehicles, limousines, electric autos, including conversion of conventional vehicles to electric power and utility vehicles. Our revenue recognition policy, consistent with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 605 – Revenue Recognition dictates that we recognize revenue when a vehicle is delivered and ultimately accepted by our customers. Accordingly, revenue for any given reporting period is heavily dependent upon the number of vehicles delivered. As our vehicle related activities began in the second quarter 2009, a quarter over quarter comparison with the prior year provides limited insight in operational trends.

Going Concern

We have generated minimal revenues since inception. Our revenues alone are insufficient to pay our operating expenses and our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our current and future liabilities when they become due until such time, if ever, that we are able to generate sufficient revenues to attain profitable operations. We have experienced losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and at March 31, 2010 we have an accumulated deficit of approximately $3.4 million. The report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our financial statements for fiscal 2009 contained an explanatory paragraph regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance that acceptable financing to fund our ongoing operations can be obtained on suitable terms, if at all. If we are unable to obtain the financing necessary to support our operations, we may be unable to continue as a going concern. In that event, we may be forced to cease operations and our stockholders could lose their entire investment in our company.

Results of Operations

During the first quarter 2010, the Company recognized limited revenues totaling $93,168 and cost of sales during the period of $207,164, resulting in a negative gross profit (loss) of $113,996. This negative gross profit reflects the limited sales during the period and the expensing to cost of sales of our excess plant capacity. At our current sales levels, the Company has been unable to adequately cover its fixed overhead manufacturing costs. The Company is continuing to review and challenge it costing structure relative to anticipated revenues. Operating expenses during the quarter, consisting of selling general and administrative expenses, totaled $559,109 resulting in a net loss from operations of $673,105. We also recognized approximately $115,000 in interest expenses during the quarter related to our outstanding notes payable which included $49,800 attributable to amortization of note discounts.

As a result of our limited sales and the general weakness in the automotive and specialty automotive industries, in December 2009, management idled a portion of our production facilities as part of a general cost cutting program. These facilities were reopened in February 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support current and future operations, satisfy its obligations and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis.



16






The Company has operated at a loss with a negative cash flow since its inception. At March 31, 2010, the Company had cash on hand of $71,110 and a working capital deficit of $1,039,826.

Currently and in the past, the Company has been dependent on officers and shareholders of the Company to advance funds to meet operational needs, as sell as a number of borrowings in the form of notes issued under varying terms. While there can be no assurance, we anticipate improved sales levels over those of the first quarter, which is expected to improve the Company’s cash flow position. In that regard the Company has in production nine vehicles for anticipated completion and delivery by the end of the period ended June 30, 2010. However, even at anticipated improved sales levels, it will be necessary for us to seek additional funding through private or public offerings of equity securities, debt or convertible debt securities or other sources. Many, if not all, of these transactions would prove dilutive to our common stock. The Company has also entered into preliminary discussions with U.S. and non U.S. companies to joint venture or otherwise contract to use its facility for the gasoline to electric conversion process.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2010, due primarily to a loss of $799,768, the Company has used net cash in operations of $330,016. Components of this decrease included a decrease in accounts receivable of $5,803 and an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $105,966. Operating items, which contributed to cash during the quarter, included a decrease in other current assets of $35,186, an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $254,563 and an increase in other current liabilities, consisting of customer advances of $171,985.

UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

During the first quarter of 2010, as discussed in the notes to the Company’s financial statements, certain promissory notes previously issued by the Company were converted into shares of the Company’s common stock. The conversion ratios under the notes range from a 25% discount to market price of the Company’s common stock to a 75% discount to market price for the Company’s common stock. As a result of these negotiated conversions, the Company issued approximately 70,878,297 shares of its common stock to a total of three note holders in satisfaction of approximately $57,000 due under the notes.

During the first quarter of 2010, the Company authorized the designation and issuance of 500,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to its executive officer, Gary Spaniak. The preferred shares were issued in consideration of Mr. Spaniak forgiving approximately $106,000 of his accrued salary and loans. The preferred shares contain super voting rights and certain anti-dilution provisions. Each holder of record of shares of the preferred stock shall have the right to convert all (but not part) of such preferred shares into that number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock as shall be 40% of the Company’s common stock on a fully diluted basis. The shares of preferred stock shall vote together with the Company’s common stock, except as otherwise required by law. The number of votes for the preferred stock shall be the same number as the amount of shares of common stock that would be issued upon conversion.

See also note 4 to the Company’s financial statements.

The securities above were issued under the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. The shareholders had access to information concerning the Company.
