THE MINT LEASING, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2013
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION and NATURE OF BUSINESS ACTIVITY
A. Organization
The Mint Leasing, Inc. (“Mint” or the “Company") was incorporated on May 19, 1999, in the State of Texas and commenced operations on that date.
Effective July 18, 2008, The Mint Leasing, Inc., a Texas corporation (“Mint Texas”), a privately held company, completed the Plan and Agreement of Merger between itself and The Mint Leasing, Inc. (formerly Legacy Communications Corporation) (“Mint Nevada”), and the two shareholders of Mint Texas, pursuant to which Mint Nevada acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Mint Texas. In connection with the acquisition of Mint Texas described herein, Mint Nevada issued 70,650,000 shares of common stock and 2,000,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred stock to the selling stockholders. Consummation of the merger did not require a vote of the Mint Nevada shareholders. As a result of the acquisition, the shareholders of Mint Texas own a majority of the voting stock of Mint Nevada and Mint Texas is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mint Nevada. No prior material relationship existed between the selling shareholders and Mint Nevada, any of its affiliates, or any of its directors or officers, or any associate of any of its officers or directors.
Upon completion of the July 18, 2008 transaction with Mint Nevada, Mint Texas ceased to be treated as an "S" Corporation for Income Tax purposes. In accordance with accounting guidance issued by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the Company had included in its financial statements all of its undistributed earnings on that date as additional paid in capital. This is to assume constructive distribution to owners followed by a contribution to the capital of the Company.
B. Description of Business
Mint is a company in the business of leasing automobiles and fleet vehicles throughout the United States. Most of its customers are located in Texas and seven other states in the Southeast. Lease transactions are solicited and administered by the Company’s sales force and staff. Mint’s customers are comprised of brand-name automobile dealers that seek to provide leasing options to their customers and individuals, many of whom would otherwise not have the opportunity to acquire a new or late-model-year vehicle.
C. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X, and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, cash flows, and stockholders’ equity in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations and financial position have been included and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year. The balance sheet at December 31, 2012 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
For further information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, filed on April 16, 2013.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of The Mint Leasing, Inc. and all of its subsidiaries. Inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
3
B. 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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near-term relate to the determination of the allowance for doubtful accounts and the estimated unguaranteed residual values on the lease receivable contracts purchased.
Although Mint attempts to mitigate credit risk through the use of a variety of commercial credit reporting agencies when processing customer applications, failure of the customers to make scheduled payments under their automobile lease contracts could have a material near-term impact on the allowance for doubtful accounts.
Realization of unguaranteed residual values depends on many factors, several of which are not within the Company's control, including general market conditions at the time of the original lease contract's expiration, whether there has been unusual wear and tear on, or use of, the vehicle, the cost of comparable new vehicles and the extent, if any, to which the vehicle has become technologically or economically obsolete during the lease contract term. These factors, among others, could have a material near-term impact on the estimated unguaranteed residual values.
C. Revenue recognition
The Company’s customers typically finance vehicles over periods ranging from three to nine years. These financing agreements are classified as either operating or sales type leases as prescribed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). Revenues representing the capitalized costs of the vehicles are recognized as income upon inception of the leases. The portion of revenues representing the difference between the gross investment in the lease (the sum of the minimum lease payments and the guaranteed residual value) and the sum of the present value of the two components is recorded as unearned income and amortized over the lease term. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, amortization of unearned income totaled $1,370,212 and $699,479, respectively.
Taxes assessed by governmental authorities that are directly imposed on revenue-producing transactions between the Company and its customers (which may include, but are not limited to, sales, use, value added and some excise taxes) are excluded from revenues.
Lessees are responsible for all taxes, insurance and maintenance costs.
Cost of Revenues comprises the vehicle acquisition costs for the vehicles to be leased to the Company’s customers, the costs associated with servicing the leasing portfolio and the excess of the Company’s recorded basis in leases when the related cars are reacquired (through early termination, repossessions and trade-ins). Vehicles that are reacquired are typically either re-leased or sold at auction, with the related proceeds recorded in revenue. Total cost of sales was $2,761,744 and $2,057,353 for the three months ending March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
E. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Investments in highly liquid securities with original maturities of 90 days or less are included in cash and cash equivalents in the accompanying balance sheets. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had cash of $1,563,042 and $894,794, respectively. The Company had no cash equivalents at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had no deposits that exceeded FDIC insurance coverage limits.
F. Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash equivalents and finance receivables. Our cash equivalents are placed through various major financial institutions. Finance receivables represent contracts with consumers residing throughout the United States, with borrowers located in Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, California and Florida. No other state accounted for more than 10% of managed finance receivables.
G. Allowance for Loan Losses
Provisions for losses on investments in sales-type leases are charged to cost of revenues in amounts sufficient to maintain the allowance for losses at a level considered adequate to cover probable credit losses inherent in our receivables related to sales-type leases. The Company establishes the allowance for losses based on the determination of the amount of probable credit losses inherent in the financed receivables as of the reporting date. The Company reviews charge-off experience factors, delinquency reports, historical collection rates, estimates of the value of the underlying collateral, economic trends, and other information in order to make the necessary judgments as to probable credit losses. Assumptions regarding probable credit losses are reviewed periodically and may be impacted by actual performance of financed receivables and changes in any of the factors discussed above. The Company recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $299,761 and $305,174 at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
H. Charge-off Policy
The Company charges off accounts when the automobile is repossessed or voluntarily returned by the customer and legally available for disposition. The charge-off amount generally represents the difference between the net outstanding investment in the sales-type lease and the fair market value of the vehicle returned to inventory. The charge-off amount is included in cost of revenues on the accompanying statement of operations. Accounts in repossession that have been charged off have been removed from finance receivables and the related repossessed automobiles are included in Vehicle Inventory on the consolidated balance sheet pending sale.
I. Vehicle Inventory
Vehicle Inventory includes repossessed automobiles, as well as vehicles turned in at the conclusion of the lease. Inventory of vehicles is stated at the lower of cost determined using the specific identification method, and market, determined by net proceeds from sale or the NADA book value.
J. Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation and amortization on property and equipment are determined using the straight-line method over the three to five year estimated useful lives of the assets.
Expenditures for additions, major renewal and betterments are capitalized, and expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged against income as incurred. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in income.
K. Stock-based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the modified prospective application method in accordance with accounting guidance issued by the FASB. This method provides for the recognition of the fair value with respect to share-based compensation for shares subscribed for or granted on or after January 1, 2006, and all previously granted but unvested awards as of January 1, 2006. The cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the options.
4
L. Advertising
Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred. Advertising costs for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 totaled $348 and $303, respectively.
M. Income Taxes
Upon completion of the July 18, 2008 transaction with Mint Nevada as more fully described in Note 1, Mint Texas ceased to be treated as an "S" Corporation for Income Tax purposes, resulting in (1) the imposition of income tax at the corporate level instead of the shareholder level and (2) the inability to continue to elect to be taxed on a cash basis.
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and 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 recovered or settled.
The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
We adopted the provisions of the FASB’s guidance related to accounting for uncertainty as to income tax positions on January 1, 2008. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had no liabilities included on the consolidated balance sheets associated with uncertain tax positions. Due to uncertainty regarding the timing of future cash flows associated with income tax liabilities, a reasonable estimate of the period of cash settlement is not determinable.
N. Earnings per Common and Common Equivalent Share
The computation of basic earnings per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. The computation of diluted earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year plus common stock equivalents which would arise from their exercise using the treasury stock method and the average market price per share during the year. At March 31, 2013 and 2012, there was no difference between basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share.
O. Preferred Stock Rights and Privileges
We have a total of 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock (the “Preferred Stock”) authorized. The rights and privileges of the Preferred Stock are detailed as follows:
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had 185,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock designated and 0 shares issued and outstanding.
The Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shares (the “Series A Stock”) allow the holder to vote a number of voting shares equal to two hundred shares for each share of Series A Stock held by such Series A Stock shareholder. The Series A Stock has a liquidation preference over the shares of common stock issued and outstanding equal to the stated value of such shares, $1.00 per share multiplied by 12.5%. The Series A Stock is convertible at the option of the holder into 200 shares of common stock for each share of Series A Stock issued and outstanding, provided that no conversion shall be allowed if the holder of such Series A Stock would own more than 4.99% of the Company’s common stock upon conversion.
No amendment to the Company’s Series A Stock shall be made while such Series A Stock is issued and outstanding to amend, alter or repeal the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company to adversely affect the rights of the Series A Stock holders; authorize or issue any additional shares of preferred stock; or effect any reclassification of the Series A Stock unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding Series A Stock vote to approve such modification or amendment.
5
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had 2,000,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock designated, authorized, issued and outstanding. The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is non-redeemable and the dividend is non-cumulative.
Each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be convertible into shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share. Each share of Preferred Stock shall be convertible into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock at the rate of 10 shares of Common Stock for each full share of Preferred Stock.
The holder of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock has the number of votes equal to the number of votes of all outstanding shares of capital stock plus one additional vote such that the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall always constitute a majority of the voting rights for the Company.
Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall have liquidation preference over all of the Company’s Preferred and Common Stock as to asset distribution.
P. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted a new standard related to the accounting for financial assets and financial liabilities and items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis, at least annually. This standard provides a single definition of fair value and a common framework for measuring fair value as well as new disclosure requirements for fair value measurements used in financial statements. Fair value measurements are based upon the exit price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants exclusive of any transaction costs, and are determined by either the principal market or the most advantageous market. The principal market is the market with the greatest level of activity and volume for the asset or liability. Absent a principal market to measure fair value, the Company would use the most advantageous market, which is the market that the Company would receive the highest selling price for the asset or pay the lowest price to settle the liability, after considering transaction costs. However, when using the most advantageous market, transaction costs are only considered to determine which market is the most advantageous and these costs are then excluded when applying a fair value measurement. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted an accounting standard for applying fair value measurements to certain assets, liabilities and transactions that are periodically measured at fair value. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In August 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting standards related to the measurement of liabilities that are routinely recognized or disclosed at fair value. This standard clarifies how a company should measure the fair value of liabilities, and that restrictions preventing the transfer of a liability should not be considered as a factor in the measurement of liabilities within the scope of this standard. This standard became effective for the Company on October 1, 2009. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
The fair value accounting standard creates a three-level hierarchy to prioritize the inputs used in the valuation techniques to derive fair values. The basis for fair value measurements for each level within the hierarchy is described below with Level 1 having the highest priority and Level 3 having the lowest.
Level 1:
|
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
|
|
Level 2:
|
Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets.
|
|
Level 3:
|
Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable.

Q. Effect of New Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2012-04, “Technical Corrections and Improvements” in Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-04. The amendments in this update cover a wide range of Topics in the Accounting Standards Codification. These amendments include technical corrections and improvements to the Accounting Standards Codification and conforming amendments related to fair value measurements. The amendments in this update will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that the adoption of this pronouncement may have on its results of operations or financial position.
In August 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-03, “Technical Amendments and Corrections to SEC Sections: Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 114, Technical Amendments Pursuant to SEC Release No. 33-9250, and Corrections Related to FASB Accounting Standards Update 2010-22 (SEC Update)” in Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-03. This update amends various SEC paragraphs pursuant to the issuance of SAB No. 114. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that the adoption of this pronouncement may have on its results of operations or financial position.
In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment” in Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-02. This update amends ASU 2011-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment and permits an entity first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test in accordance with Subtopic 350-30, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - General Intangibles Other than Goodwill. The amendments are effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim impairment tests performed as of a date before July 27, 2012, if a public entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued or, for nonpublic entities, have not yet been made available for issuance. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that the adoption of this pronouncement may have on its results of operations or financial position.

NOTE 5– CREDIT FACILITIES
Effective August 3, 2009, the Company entered into a secured $10,000,000 revolving credit agreement (the “Revolver”) with Moody National Bank (“Moody” and “Moody Bank”) to finance the purchase of vehicles for lease. The interest rate on the Revolver is the prime rate plus 1% with a floor of 6%. The Revolver is secured by purchased vehicles, the related receivables associated with leased vehicles, and the personal guaranties of Jerry Parish and Victor Garcia (the Company’s majority shareholders).
The credit agreement also required the Company to meet a debt to tangible net worth ratio of 2.5 to one at December 31, 2009; which the Company did not meet. At December 31, 2009, the availability under the $10,000,000 Revolver was limited to $2,500,000. The outstanding balance at December 31, 2009 was $1,679,319. The Revolver matured on December 31, 2009 and was renewed for an additional 60 days at which time an additional $820,681 was advanced to the Company. On February 28, 2010, the Company executed a second renewal, extension and modification of the Revolver (the “Amended Moody Revolver”). The Amended Moody Revolver extended the maturity date of the facility to March 1, 2011, reduced the amount available under the facility to $2,500,000, fixed the interest rate on the facility at 6.5%, and provided for 11 monthly payments of principal and interest of $37,817, with the remaining balance due at maturity. Effective February 28, 2011, the Company executed a Third Renewal, Extension and Modification of the Revolver (the "Third Renewal"). Under the terms of the Third Renewal, the maturity date of the Revolver was extended to March 1, 2012, the amount available remained at $2,500,000, the interest rate was increased and fixed at 6.75%, and the Third Renewal provided for 11 monthly payments of principal and interest of $45,060, with the remaining balance due at maturity on March 1, 2012. On March 29, 2012 and effective March 1, 2012, Moody Bank agreed to enter into a Fourth Renewal, Extension and Modification Agreement (the “Fourth Renewal”), pursuant to which Moody Bank agreed to extend the due date of the Revolver to March 1, 2013 and we agreed to pay monthly payments of principal and interest due under the Revolver of $57,500 per month until maturity. The amount outstanding under the Revolver at the time of the parties’ entry into the Fourth Renewal was $1,822,767.
On March 26, 2013 and effective March 1, 2013, Moody Bank agreed to enter into a Fifth Renewal, Extension and Modification Agreement (the “Fifth Renewal”), pursuant to which Moody Bank agreed to extend the due date of the Revolver to March 1, 2014 and we agreed to pay monthly payments of principal and interest under the Revolver of $62,500 per month (beginning April 1, 2013) until maturity. The amount outstanding on the Revolver as of the parties’ entry into the Fifth Renewal was $1,290,463.
At March 31, 2013, the outstanding balance on the Revolver was $1,286,779. Additionally, at March 31, 2013, we were not in compliance with certain of the covenants required by the Revolver.
On or around January 6, 2009, the Company entered into a renewal of its $33,000,000 revolving credit facility with Sterling Bank of Houston, Texas (now Comerica Bank “Comerica Bank”) that matured on October 2, 2009. On or around October 27, 2009, the Company entered into a Modification, Renewal and Extension Agreement and an Amended and Restated Loan Agreement in connection with its $33,000,000 line of credit facility with Comerica Bank (collectively the “Renewal”). On or around July 30, 2010, we entered into a Modification Agreement with Comerica Bank to modify and amend the Renewal. On December 14, 2010, and effective November 10, 2010, we entered into an additional Modification Agreement with Comerica Bank to modify and amend the Renewal (the “Modification”). On April 13, 2011, and effective as of March 10, 2011, the Company entered into an additional Modification Agreement with Comerica Bank (the "March 2011 Modification").
8
The Modification and March 2011 Modification also modified and amended our required borrowing base and minimum net worth requirements under the Renewal, which factor into whether we are in compliance with the terms and conditions of and/or in default of the terms of the Renewal.
The outstanding amount of the Renewal at the time of the parties’ entry into the Modification was $23,704,253, and the Modification amended the Renewal to reflect such current balance outstanding, and to provide that such outstanding balance would be repaid in monthly installments of $110,000 of principal, plus accrued interest, due on the tenth (10th) of each month beginning December 10, 2010 and continuing until February 10, 2011 (we had previously been making monthly installment payments of $110,000 beginning in July 2010), with a balloon payment of the remaining amount of the outstanding principal and interest due on such Renewal payable on March 10, 2011 (previously the full amount of the Renewal as modified by the first Modification Agreement, was due and payable on November 10, 2010).
The outstanding amount of the Renewal at the time of the parties' entry into the March 2011 Modification was $22,648,222, and the March 2011 Modification amended the Renewal to reflect such current balance outstanding, and to provide that such outstanding balance would be repaid in monthly installments of $160,000 of principal, plus accrued interest, due on the tenth (10th) of each month beginning April 10, 2011 and continuing until August 10, 2011, with a balloon payment of the remaining amount of the outstanding principal and interest due on such Renewal payable on September 10, 2011. Additionally, each month, we are required to pay Comerica Bank, in addition to the monthly payments, a prepayment of principal equal to the amount of all proceeds from the sale of our vehicles which have not already been paid to Comerica Bank as a result of the monthly payment.
On October 27, 2011 and effective September 10, 2011, the Company entered into an additional Modification Agreement with Comerica Bank (the “September 2011 Modification”), to modify and amend the Renewal.
The September 2011 Modification, similar to the Modification and March 2011 Modification modified and amended our required borrowing base and minimum net worth requirements under the Renewal, which factor into whether we are in compliance with the terms and conditions of and/or in default of the terms of the Renewal.
The outstanding amount of the Renewal on the effective date of the September 2011 Modification was $21,846,701, and the September 2011 Modification amended the Renewal to reflect such current balance outstanding, and to provide that such outstanding balance would be repaid in monthly installments of $260,000 of principal, plus accrued interest, due on the tenth (10th) of each month beginning October 10, 2011 and continuing until March 10, 2012, with a balloon payment of the remaining amount of the outstanding principal and interest due on such Renewal payable on March 10, 2012, which credit facility has since been extended as described below. Additionally, each month, we are required to pay Comerica Bank, in addition to the monthly payments, a prepayment of principal equal to the amount of all proceeds from the sale of our vehicles which have not already been paid to Comerica Bank as a result of the monthly payment.
The September 2011 Modification did not otherwise materially amend or modify the terms of the Renewal, which evidences a Secured Note Payable (the "Note Payable"); except that it increased the interest rate of the Note Payable to the prime rate plus 2.5%, compared to the prime rate plus 2% (as was previously provided under the terms of the Note Payable), in each case subject to a floor of 6%.
Comerica Bank also agreed pursuant to the terms of the September 2011 Modification that we could prepay and satisfy the entire outstanding amount of the Note Payable if we are able to pay Comerica Bank an aggregate of $17,500,000 by December 31, 2011 (the “Pre-Payment Right”), which we were unable to accomplish.
9
On March 30, 2012, and with an effective date of March 10, 2012, Comerica Bank agreed to extend the due date of the Renewal until June 10, 2012 and to forbear from enforcing certain covenants of the Renewal and we agreed to increase the amount of interest payable under the Renewal to the prime rate plus 3.5%, subject to a floor of 6%, which rate is currently 6.75% per annum, increase the monthly payments due under the Renewal to $275,000 per month, and pay fees associated with the extension totaling $210,000 (the “March 2012 Extension”). The outstanding balance on the Note Payable as of the effective date of the March 2012 Extension was $20,372,657.
Comerica subsequently agreed to further extend the maturity date of the Renewal, and on several dates agreed to accept a discounted payment in full satisfaction of the amounts owed in connection with the Renewal, provided that we were unable to make such discounted payments.
On April 8, 2013, we and Comerica entered into a Settlement, Release, Indemnity and Limited Forbearance Agreement (the “Forbearance Agreement”). Pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement, we agreed that the Renewal was in default and Comerica agreed to forbear from taking any action against us to enforce the default until the earlier of 4 p.m. on April 18, 2013, or the date that a default occurred under the Renewal other than in connection with our failure to repay such Renewal. We also agreed to pay $500,000 towards the balance of the Renewal on April 5, 2013, which funds have been paid to date and to pay a discounted settlement payment in full satisfaction of the Renewal in the amount of $12 million on April 18, 2013, along with legal fees of Comerica’s counsel (the “Settlement Amount”). We also agreed to release Comerica from and to indemnify Comerica against certain claims and causes of action.
We were unable to repay the Settlement Amount by April 18, 2013, and we and Comerica are currently in discussions regarding an extended forbearance agreement which as currently contemplated will provide for Comerica to forbear from taking any action against us (subject to certain limitations and exclusions) for a period extending through July 2013, require us to make certain additional principal and interest payments to Comerica, require us to release Comerica from any liability and will provide us additional time to pay the Settlement Amount, provided that no definitive agreement has been approved or entered into between the parties.
At March 31, 2013, the outstanding balance on the Note Payable, which was in default, was $18,788,447. Under the terms of the renewals of the Note Payable, the Company has been and will continue to be unable to borrow any new funds under the credit facilities during 2013 or subsequent years.
Our credit facility with Comerica Bank requires us to comply with certain affirmative and negative covenants customary for restricted indebtedness, including covenants requiring that: our statements, representations and warranties made in the credit facility and related documents are correct and accurate; if Jerry Parish, our Chief Executive Officer and sole director fails to own at least 50% of the ownership of the Company; the death of either of the guarantors of the credit facility, Jerry Parish or Victor Garcia; the termination of the employment of Mr. Parish; or the transfer of any ownership interest of Mint Texas without the approval of Comerica Bank. Additionally, at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we were not in compliance with the tangible net worth (required to be $6.75 million and was $2.1 million and $2.1 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively) and debt to tangible net worth (required to be 4:1 and was approximately 10.66:1 at March 31, 2013 and 10.27:1 at December 31, 2012, respectively) covenants required by the Renewal.
Over the past approximately one-hundred and twenty days, we have been in discussions with various parties and have entered into various term sheets regarding potential funding transactions in order to enable us to raise funds sufficient to pay the discounted Settlement Amount that Comerica has previously agreed to accept in satisfaction of the Renewal. To date, we have not entered into any definitive agreements associated with such potential funding transactions and do not have sufficient funding to pay the Settlement Amount or to satisfy our other obligations under the Renewal. In the event that we are unable to pay the Settlement Amount (or the full amount of the Renewal, if required by Comerica) or are unable to come to terms on a further forbearance or extension of the Renewal, Comerica could take further actions against us to enforce its security interest over our assets, seek immediate repayment of the full amount due under the facility, seek an immediate foreclosure of such assets and/or may take other actions which have a material adverse effect on our operations, assets and financial condition or force us to seek bankruptcy protection. As of the date of this filing, due to the fact that we are in default under the Renewal and since the Forbearance Agreement has expired, Comerica can take action against us at any time in their sole discretion to seek repayment of the Renewal.

On March 1, 2011, the Company entered into a Promissory Note with a third party in the amount of $100,000, which accrues interest at the rate of 12% per annum payable monthly, and was due on March 1, 2012. The Promissory Note was secured by the personal guaranty of Jerry Parish. This note was paid off on March 26, 2011, with the proceeds of a new Promissory Note as described below.
On March 26, 2011, the Company paid off the $100,000 Promissory Note and entered into a new Promissory Note with the same third party in the amount of $142,000, with a maturity date of March 26, 2012. The Promissory Note accrues interest at the rate of 12% per annum payable monthly. On December 6, 2011, the Company renegotiated the maturity date on $100,000 of the Promissory Note, and extended the maturity of that portion of the Promissory Note to December 6, 2012. The Promissory Note is secured by the personal guaranty of Jerry Parish. The outstanding balance at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $142,000. The note has been extended until December 6, 2013.
In August 2011, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Asher Enterprises, Inc. (“Asher”), pursuant to which the Company sold Asher a convertible note in the amount of $68,000, bearing interest at the rate of 8% per annum (the “Convertible Note”) which Convertible Note was amended in October 2011, to be effective as of August 2011. The Convertible Note provided Asher the right to convert the outstanding balance (including accrued and unpaid interest) of such Convertible Note into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to the greater of (a) 61% of the average of the five lowest trading prices of the Company’s common stock during the ten trading days prior to such conversion date; and (b) $0.00009 per share. The Convertible Note, which accrued interest at the rate of 8% per annum, was payable, along with interest thereon on May 7, 2012, but was repaid in March 2012. The note’s convertible feature was valued and resulted in a debt discount of $43,475, which was fully amortized at the time of payment.
Asher converted $10,000 of the amount owed under the Convertible Note into 190,476 shares of the Company’s common stock ($0.0525 per share) in February 2012. In March 2012, the Company prepaid the entire remaining balance due under the Convertible Note for an aggregate of $90,003 including penalty and interest.
On November 28, 2011, the Company entered into a Promissory Note with another third party in the amount of $100,000, which accrues interest at the rate of 12% per annum payable monthly, and was due on December 28, 2012. The Promissory Note was secured by the personal guaranty of Jerry Parish. The outstanding balance at March 31, 2013 was $100,000. The note has been extended until December 28, 2013.
In March 2012, the Company entered into a Promissory Note with another third party in the amount of $220,000, which accrues interest at the rate of 12% per annum payable monthly, and was due in March, 2013. The Promissory Note was secured by the personal guaranty of Jerry Parish. The outstanding balance at March 31, 2013 was $220,000. The note has been extended until March, 2014.
In May 2012, the Company entered into a Promissory Note with the same third party in the amount of $250,000, which accrues interest at the rate of 12% per annum payable monthly, and will be due in May, 2013. The Promissory Note was secured by the personal guaranty of Jerry Parish. The outstanding balance at March 31, 2013 was $250,000.
In February 2013, the Company entered into a Promissory Note with the same third party in the amount of $100,000, which accrues interest at the rate of 12% per annum payable monthly, and will be due in February, 2014. The Promissory Note was secured by the personal guaranty of Jerry Parish. The outstanding balance at March 31, 2013 was $100,000.

As described above, the Company is currently in default of its Comerica credit facility and was required to pay Comerica an aggregate of approximately $12 million on April 18, 2013, in satisfaction of the Renewal, which funds the Company did not have. As we were unable to pay the Settlement Amount when due, Comerica could take further actions against us to enforce its security interest over our assets, seek repayment of the full amount due under the facility (and not just the Settlement Amount), seek an immediate foreclosure of such assets and/or may take other actions which may have a material adverse effect on our operations, assets and financial condition.
NOTE 6– FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
FASB guidance regarding fair value measurements requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether recognized or not in our consolidated balance sheet. Fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques in cases where quoted market prices are not available. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and the estimated timing and amount of future cash flows. Therefore, the estimates of fair value may differ substantially from amounts that ultimately may be realized or paid at settlement or maturity of the financial instruments and those differences may be material. The FASB provision excludes certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments from the Company’s disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company.
Estimated fair values, carrying values and various methods and assumptions used in valuing our financial instruments as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are set forth below:

The fair value of finance receivables is estimated by discounting future cash flows expected to be collected using current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and the same remaining maturities. This valuation is a type 3 indicator.

NOTE 7 -RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company leased office space from a partnership, which is owned by the Company’s two majority shareholders, pursuant to a lease which expired on August 31, 2008, at the rate of $10,000 per month. The lease was subsequently renewed to July 31, 2011 and again until July 31, 2012 and 2013, which included an adjacent property at the rate of $20,000 per month. In conjunction with the Company's cost reduction efforts the monthly rental payment was reduced to $15,000 per month during the latter part of 2010 and all of 2011 and 2012. We believe these rental rates are consistent with rental rates for similar properties in the Houston, Texas real estate market. Rent expense under the lease amounted to $45,000 and $45,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
The Company has notes payable to Jerry Parish, Victor Garcia, and a partnership which is owned by the Company’s two majority shareholders (Mr. Parish and Mr. Garcia) through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Mint Texas. The amounts outstanding as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were $1,262,203 and $1,311,564, respectively. These notes payable are non-interest bearing and due upon demand. The Company imputed interest on these notes payable at a rate of 8.75% per year. Interest expense of $9,457, and $9,457 was recorded as contributed capital for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

NOTE 8– COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash equivalents, and finance receivables. Our cash equivalents are placed through various major financial institutions. Finance receivables represent contracts with consumers residing throughout the United States, with lessees located in Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and Florida. No state other than Texas accounted for more than 10% of managed finance receivables.
Legal Proceedings
As a consumer finance company, we are subject to various consumer claims and litigation seeking damages and statutory penalties, based upon, among other things, usury, disclosure inaccuracies, wrongful repossession, violations of bankruptcy stay provisions, certificate of title disputes, fraud, breach of contract and discriminatory treatment of credit applicants. Some litigation against us could take the form of class action complaints by consumers and/or shareholders. As the assignee of finance contracts originated by dealers, we may also be named as a co-defendant in lawsuits filed by consumers principally against dealers. The damages and penalties claimed by consumers in these types of matters can be substantial. The relief requested by the plaintiffs varies but can include requests for compensatory, statutory and punitive damages. We believe that we have taken prudent steps to address and mitigate the litigation risks associated with our business activities. In the opinion of management, the ultimate aggregate liability, if any, arising out of any such pending or threatened litigation will not be material to our consolidated financial position or our results of operations and cash flows.
NOTE 9 – CAPITAL STOCK TRANSACTIONS
Effective March 19, 2013, 2 million shares of the Company’s common stock were cancelled.
NOTE 10 – GOING CONCERN & ONGOING RELATIONSHIPS WITH FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS
Management has had a long standing relationship with the financial institutions that are currently providing its credit facilities. The Company has a history of successfully working with its lenders in negotiating previous modifications and extensions, and believes that it will continue to be able to do so in the future. Such extensions or modifications are critical to the Company’s ability to meet its financial obligations and execute its business plan. Currently the majority of the amounts due to the Company's lenders are due within the next 12 months and this amount exceeds the current and readily available assets available to satisfy these obligations. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability of assets and classification of liabilities should the Company not be able to continue to modify or extend its credit facilities.
Over the past approximately one-hundred and twenty days, we have been in discussions with various parties and have entered into various term sheets regarding potential funding transactions in order to enable us to raise funds sufficient to pay the discounted Settlement Amount that Comerica has previously agreed to accept in satisfaction of the Renewal. To date, we have not entered into any definitive agreements associated with such potential funding transactions and do not have sufficient funding to pay the Settlement Amount or to satisfy our other obligations under the Renewal. In the event that we are unable to pay the Settlement Amount (or the full amount of the Renewal, if required by Comerica) or are unable to come to terms on a further forbearance or extension of the Renewal, Comerica could take further actions against us to enforce its security interest over our assets, seek immediate repayment of the full amount due under the facility, seek an immediate foreclosure of such assets and/or may take other actions which have a material adverse effect on our operations, assets and financial condition or force us to seek bankruptcy protection. See Note 5 for further details.

NOTE 11 – FINANCING RECEIVABLES
The Company’s net investment in sales-type leases is subject to the disclosure requirements of ASC 310 “Receivables”. Due to similar risk characteristics of its individual sales-type leases, the Company views its net investment in leases as its one class of financing receivable.
The Company monitors the credit quality of each customer on a frequent basis through collections and aging analyses. The Company also holds meetings monthly in order to identify credit concerns and determine whether a change in credit quality classification is required for the customer. A customer may improve in their credit quality classification once a substantial payment is made on overdue balances or the customer has agreed to a payment plan with the Company and payments have commenced in accordance with the payment plan. The change in credit quality indicator is dependent upon management approval.
The Company classifies its customers into three categories to indicate their credit quality internally:
Current — Lessee continues to be in good standing with the Company as the client’s payments and reporting are up-to-date. Typically payments are outstanding between 0-30 days.
Performing — Lessee has begun to demonstrate a delay in payments with little or no communication with the Company. All future activity with this customer must be reviewed and approved by management. These leases are considered to be in better condition than those leases in the “Poor” category, but not in as good of condition as those leases in the “Current” category. Typically payments are outstanding between 31-60 days.
Poor — Lessee is delinquent, non-responsive or not negotiating in good faith with the Company. Once a Lessee is classified as “Poor”, the lease is evaluated for collectability and is potentially impaired. Typically payments are outstanding 61 days or more.
The following table discloses the recorded investment in financing receivables by credit quality indicator as of March 31, 2013 (in thousands):

While recognition of penalties and interest income is suspended, payments received by a customer are applied against the outstanding balance owed. If payments are sufficient to cover any unreserved receivables, a recovery of provision taken on the billed amount, if applicable, is recorded to the extent of the residual cash received. Once the collectability issues are resolved and the customer has returned to being in current standing, the Company will resume recognition of penalty and interest income.

The Company considers financing receivables with aging between 60-89 days as indications of lessees with potential collection concerns. The Company will begin to focus its review on these financing receivables and increase its discussions internally and with the lessee regarding payment status. Once a lessee’s aging exceeds 90 days, the Company’s policy is to review and assess collectability on lessee’s past due account. Over 90 days past due is used by the Company as an indicator of potential impairment as invoices up to 90 days outstanding could be considered reasonable due to the time required for dispute resolution or for the provision of further information or supporting documentation to the customer.

Corporate History
The Mint Leasing, Inc. (the “Company,” “Mint,” "Mint Leasing", “we,” “Mint Nevada,” and “us”) was incorporated in Nevada on September 23, 1997 as Legacy Communications Corporation.
Effective July 18, 2008, The Mint Leasing, Inc., a Texas corporation, which was incorporated on May 19, 1999, and commenced operations on that date (“Mint Texas”), a privately-held company, completed the Plan and Agreement of Merger between itself and the Company (for the purposes of this paragraph, “Mint Nevada”), and the two shareholders of Mint Texas (Jerry Parish, our sole officer and director, and Victor Garcia, our former director), pursuant to which Mint Nevada acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Mint Texas. In connection with the acquisition of Mint Texas, Mint Nevada issued 70,650,000 shares of common stock, and 2,000,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred stock to the selling stockholders and owners of Mint Texas. Additionally, the Company granted stock options to purchase 2,000,000 shares of common stock to Mr. Parish. The exercise price of the options is $3.00 per share, and the options expire in 2018. One-third of the options vested to Mr. Parish on the first, second and third anniversary of the grant date (July 28, 2008). Consummation of the merger did not require a vote of the Mint Nevada shareholders. As a result of the acquisition, the shareholders of Mint Texas own a majority of the voting stock of Mint Nevada as described below, Mint Texas is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mint Nevada, and the Company (Mint Nevada) changed its name to The Mint Leasing, Inc. No prior material relationship existed between the selling shareholders and Mint Nevada, any of its affiliates, or any of its directors or officers, or any associate of any of its officers or directors. Effective on July 18, 2008, our former operations as a developer and purchaser of radio stations ceased and since that date our operations have solely been the operations of Mint Texas, our wholly-owned subsidiary.
17
Unless otherwise stated, or the context suggests otherwise, the description of the Company’s business operations below includes the operations of Mint Texas, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary and its other operating subsidiaries The Mint Leasing North, Inc. and The Mint Leasing South, Inc.
The Board of Directors approved a one-for-twenty reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) with respect to shares of common stock outstanding as of July 16, 2008. Unless otherwise stated, all share amounts listed herein retroactively reflect the Reverse Stock Split.
As set forth in the Company’s Information Statement on Schedule 14C dated June 26, 2008, the Company adopted the Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and Amended Bylaws as of July 18, 2008. The Company further amended the Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation on July 18, 2008 to change the Company’s name from Legacy Communications Corporation to The Mint Leasing, Inc., effective as of July 21, 2008.
Effective in July 2008, the Company designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, as described in greater detail below.
Moody Bank Credit Facility
Effective August 3, 2009, the Company entered into a secured $10,000,000 revolving credit agreement (the “Revolver”) with Moody National Bank (“Moody” and “Moody Bank”) to finance the purchase of vehicles for lease. The interest rate on the Revolver is the prime rate plus 1% with a floor of 6%. The Revolver is secured by purchased vehicles, the related receivables associated with leased vehicles, and the personal guaranties of Jerry Parish and Victor Garcia (the Company’s majority shareholders).
The credit agreement also required the Company to meet a debt to tangible net worth ratio of 2.5 to one at December 31, 2009; which the Company did not meet. At December 31, 2009, the availability under the $10,000,000 Revolver was limited to $2,500,000. The outstanding balance at December 31, 2009 was $1,679,319. The Revolver matured on December 31, 2009 and was renewed for an additional 60 days at which time an additional $820,681 was advanced to the Company. On February 28, 2010, the Company executed a second renewal, extension and modification of the Revolver (the “Amended Moody Revolver”). The Amended Moody Revolver extended the maturity date of the facility to March 1, 2011, reduced the amount available under the facility to $2,500,000, fixed the interest rate on the facility at 6.5%, and provided for 11 monthly payments of principal and interest of $37,817, with the remaining balance due at maturity. Effective February 28, 2011, the Company executed a Third Renewal, Extension and Modification of the Revolver (the "Third Renewal"). Under the terms of the Third Renewal, the maturity date of the Revolver was extended to March 1, 2012, the amount available remained at $2,500,000, the interest rate was increased and fixed at 6.75%, and the Third Renewal provided for 11 monthly payments of principal and interest of $45,060, with the remaining balance due at maturity on March 1, 2012. On March 29, 2012 and effective March 1, 2012, Moody Bank agreed to enter into a Fourth Renewal, Extension and Modification Agreement (the “Fourth Renewal”), pursuant to which Moody Bank agreed to extend the due date of the Revolver to March 1, 2013 and we agreed to pay monthly payments of principal and interest due under the Revolver of $57,500 per month until maturity. The amount outstanding under the Revolver at the time of the parties’ entry into the Fourth Renewal was $1,822,767.
On March 26, 2013 and effective March 1, 2013, Moody Bank agreed to enter into a Fifth Renewal, Extension and Modification Agreement (the “Fifth Renewal”), pursuant to which Moody Bank agreed to extend the due date of the Revolver to March 1, 2014 and we agreed to increase the interest rate of the Revolver to 6.75% per annum and to pay monthly payments of principal and interest under the Revolver of $62,500 per month (beginning April 1, 2013) until maturity. The amount outstanding on the Revolver as of the parties’ entry into the Fifth Renewal was $1,290,463.
At March 31, 2013, the outstanding balance on the Revolver was $1,286,779. Additionally, at March 31, 2013, we were not in compliance with certain of the covenants required by the Revolver (we were required to have a tangible net worth ratio of 2.5:1 or less and the Company's was 14.9:1 at March 31, 2013), which non-compliance was previously waived by Moody.
18
Comerica Bank Credit Facility
On or around January 6, 2009, the Company entered into a renewal of its $33,000,000 revolving credit facility with Sterling Bank of Houston, Texas (now Comerica Bank “Comerica Bank” or “Comerica”) that matured on October 2, 2009. On or around October 27, 2009, the Company entered into a Modification, Renewal and Extension Agreement and an Amended and Restated Loan Agreement in connection with its $33,000,000 line of credit facility with Comerica Bank (collectively the “Renewal”). On or around July 30, 2010, we entered into a Modification Agreement with Comerica Bank to modify and amend the Renewal. On December 14, 2010, and effective November 10, 2010, we entered into an additional Modification Agreement with Comerica Bank to modify and amend the Renewal (the “Modification”). On April 13, 2011, and effective as of March 10, 2011, the Company entered into an additional Modification Agreement with Comerica Bank (the "March 2011 Modification").
The Modification and March 2011 Modification also modified and amended our required borrowing base and minimum net worth requirements under the Renewal, which factor into whether we are in compliance with the terms and conditions of and/or in default of the terms of the Renewal.
The outstanding amount of the Renewal at the time of the parties’ entry into the Modification was $23,704,253, and the Modification amended the Renewal to reflect such current balance outstanding, and to provide that such outstanding balance would be repaid in monthly installments of $110,000 of principal, plus accrued interest, due on the tenth (10th) of each month beginning December 10, 2010 and continuing until February 10, 2011 (we had previously been making monthly installment payments of $110,000 beginning in July 2010), with a balloon payment of the remaining amount of the outstanding principal and interest due on such Renewal payable on March 10, 2011 (previously the full amount of the Renewal as modified by the first Modification Agreement, was due and payable on November 10, 2010).
The outstanding amount of the Renewal at the time of the parties' entry into the March 2011 Modification was $22,648,222, and the March 2011 Modification amended the Renewal to reflect such current balance outstanding, and to provide that such outstanding balance would be repaid in monthly installments of $160,000 of principal, plus accrued interest, due on the tenth (10th) of each month beginning April 10, 2011 and continuing until August 10, 2011, with a balloon payment of the remaining amount of the outstanding principal and interest due on such Renewal payable on September 10, 2011.
On October 27, 2011 and effective September 10, 2011, the Company entered into an additional Modification Agreement with Comerica Bank (the “September 2011 Modification”), to modify and amend the Renewal.
The September 2011 Modification, similar to the Modification and March 2011 Modification modified and amended our required borrowing base and minimum net worth requirements under the Renewal, which factor into whether we are in compliance with the terms and conditions of and/or in default of the terms of the Renewal.
The outstanding amount of the Renewal on the effective date of the September 2011 Modification was $21,846,701, and the September 2011 Modification amended the Renewal to reflect such current balance outstanding, and to provide that such outstanding balance would be repaid in monthly installments of $260,000 of principal, plus accrued interest, due on the tenth (10th) of each month beginning October 10, 2011 and continuing until March 10, 2012, with a balloon payment of the remaining amount of the outstanding principal and interest due on such Renewal payable on March 10, 2012. Additionally, each month, we are required to pay Comerica Bank, in addition to the monthly payments, a prepayment of principal equal to the amount of all proceeds from the sale of our vehicles which have not already been paid to Comerica Bank as a result of the monthly payment.
19
The September 2011 Modification did not otherwise materially amend or modify the terms of the Renewal, which evidences a Secured Note Payable (the "Note Payable"); except that it increased the interest rate of the Note Payable to the prime rate plus 2.5%, compared to the prime rate plus 2% (as was previously provided under the terms of the Note Payable), in each case subject to a floor of 6%.
On March 30, 2012, and with an effective date of March 10, 2012, Comerica Bank agreed to extend the due date of the Renewal until June 10, 2012 and to forbear from enforcing certain covenants of the Renewal and we agreed to increase the amount of interest payable under the Renewal to the prime rate plus 3.5%, subject to a floor of 6%, which rate is currently 6.75% per annum, increase the monthly payments due under the Renewal to $275,000 per month, and pay fees associated with the extension totaling $210,000 (the “March 2012 Extension”). The outstanding balance on the Note Payable as of the effective date of the March 2012 Extension was $20,372,657.
Comerica subsequently agreed to further extend the maturity date of the Renewal, and on several dates agreed to accept a discounted payment in full satisfaction of the amounts owed in connection with the Renewal, provided that we were unable to make such discounted payments.
On April 8, 2013, we and Comerica entered into a Settlement, Release, Indemnity and Limited Forbearance Agreement (the “Forbearance Agreement”). Pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement, we agreed that the Renewal was in default and Comerica agreed to forbear from taking any action against us to enforce the default until the earlier of 4 p.m. on April 18, 2013, or the date that a default occurred under the Renewal other than in connection with our failure to repay such Renewal. We also agreed to pay $500,000 towards the balance of the Renewal on April 5, 2013, which funds have been paid to date and to pay a discounted settlement payment in full satisfaction of the Renewal in the amount of $12 million on April 18, 2013, along with legal fees of Comerica’s counsel (the “Settlement Amount”). We also agreed to release Comerica from and to indemnify Comerica against certain claims and causes of action.
We were unable to repay the Settlement Amount by April 18, 2013, and we and Comerica are currently in discussions regarding an extended forbearance agreement which as currently contemplated will provide for Comerica to forbear from taking any action against us (subject to certain limitations and exclusions) for a period extending through July 2013, require us to make certain additional principal and interest payments to Comerica, require us to release Comerica from any liability and will provide us additional time to pay the Settlement Amount, provided that no definitive agreement has been approved or entered into between the parties.
At March 31, 2013, the outstanding balance on the Note Payable, which was in default, was $18,788,447. Under the terms of the renewals of the Note Payable, the Company has been and will continue to be unable to borrow any new funds under the credit facilities during 2013 or in subsequent years.
Our credit facility with Comerica Bank requires us to comply with certain affirmative and negative covenants customary for restricted indebtedness, including covenants requiring that: our statements, representations and warranties made in the credit facility and related documents are correct and accurate; if Jerry Parish, our Chief Executive Officer and sole director fails to own at least 50% of the ownership of the Company; the death of either of the guarantors of the credit facility, Jerry Parish or Victor Garcia; the termination of the employment of Mr. Parish; or the transfer of any ownership interest of Mint Texas without the approval of Comerica Bank. Additionally, at March 31, 2013, we were not in compliance with the tangible net worth (required to be $6.75 million and was $2.1 million at March 31, 2013) and debt to tangible net worth (required to be 4:1 and was approximately 10.66:1 at March 31, 2013) covenants required by the Renewal. We were also not in compliance with the Comerica Bank covenants as of December 31, 2012.
Over the past approximately one-hundred and twenty days, we have been in discussions with various parties and have entered into various term sheets regarding potential funding transactions in order to enable us to raise funds sufficient to pay the discounted Settlement Amount that Comerica has previously agreed to accept in satisfaction of the Renewal. To date, we have not entered into any definitive agreements associated with such potential funding transactions and do not have sufficient funding to pay the Settlement Amount or to satisfy our other obligations under the Renewal. In the event that we are unable to pay the Settlement Amount (or the full amount of the Renewal, if required by Comerica) or are unable to come to terms on a further forbearance or extension of the Renewal, Comerica could take further actions against us to enforce its security interest over our assets, seek immediate repayment of the full amount due under the facility, seek an immediate foreclosure of such assets and/or may take other actions which have a material adverse effect on our operations, assets and financial condition or force us to seek bankruptcy protection. As of the date of this filing, due to the fact that we are in default under the Renewal and since the Forbearance Agreement has expired, Comerica can take action against us at any time in their sole discretion to seek repayment of the Renewal.

Third Party Promissory Notes
On March 1, 2011, the Company entered into a Promissory Note with Pamela Kimmel, a third party, in the amount of $100,000, which accrues interest at the rate of 12% per annum payable monthly, and was due on March 1, 2012. The Promissory Note was secured by the personal guaranty of Jerry Parish. This note was paid off on March 26, 2011, with the proceeds of a new Promissory Note as described below.
On March 26, 2011, the Company paid off the $100,000 Promissory Note and entered into a new Promissory Note with Pamela Kimmel in the amount of $142,000, with a maturity date of March 26, 2012. The Promissory Note accrues interest at the rate of 12% per annum payable monthly. On December 6, 2011, the Company renegotiated the maturity date on $100,000 of the Promissory Note, and extended the maturity of that portion of the Promissory Note to December 6, 2012. The Promissory Note is secured by the personal guaranty of Jerry Parish. The outstanding balance at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $142,000. The note has been extended until December 6, 2013.
On November 28, 2011, the Company entered into a Promissory Note with Pablo J. Olivarez (the husband of one of our employees) in the amount of $100,000, which accrues interest at the rate of 12% per annum payable monthly, and was due on December 28, 2012.

PLAN OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NEXT TWELVE MONTHS
Throughout the 2013 fiscal year, we plan to continue investigating opportunities to support our long-term growth initiatives. We are exploring opportunities to increase the Company’s capital base through institutional or bank funding, the issuance by the Company of additional common or preferred stock and/or the issuance of convertible debt, which may not be available on favorable terms if at all. The Company has also historically engaged various consultants from time to time in an effort to help facilitate the Company’s ability to raise funding. Without access to additional capital in the form of debt or equity, the Company’s ability to add new leases to its current portfolio will be limited to the excess cash generated by its current lease portfolio, after paying its debt servicing costs. While the cash flow from its current lease portfolio is sufficient to service the Company’s debts and expenses (assuming the continued renewal/extension of its outstanding credit facilities described above), it may not generate sufficient excess cash to allow the Company to enter into enough new leases to generate a profit. Additionally, as described above, our credit facility with Comerica is currently in default and although Comerica has previously agreed to the terms of a forbearance agreement, such agreement has expired and the parties have not finalized the terms of a new forbearance agreement to date. Moving forward, in the event we are not able to repay our credit facility with Comerica, Comerica may seek to enforce its security interest over our assets which may force us to curtail our business operations or seek bankruptcy protection.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2013, COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2012
For the three months ended March 31, 2013, total revenues were $3,245,967 compared to $3,006,805 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, an increase in total revenues of $239,162 or 8% from the prior period. Revenues from sales-type leases, net, decreased $431,571 or 19% to $1,875,755 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, from $2,307,326 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Revenues from amortization of unearned income related to sales-type leases increased $670,733 or 96% to $1,370,212 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, from $699,479 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The decrease in revenues from sales-type leases, net, was principally due to the lower availability of internally-generated funds during the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to the prior period. The lower availability of funds to enter into new sales-type leases is due to higher principal payments and extension fees on our credit facilities with senior lenders offset by borrowings from third party individuals, during the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase in revenues from amortization of unearned income related to sales-type leases was principally due to differences in the terms of new leases that were added versus the terms of leases that were terminated during the period, compared to the prior period.
Cost of revenues increased $704,391 or 34% to $2,761,744 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to $2,057,353 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Cost of revenues increased as a result of higher costs associated with early lease terminations.
Gross profit decreased $465,229 to $484,223 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $949,452 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The 49% decrease in gross profit was due to the 34% increase in total cost of revenues offset by the 8% increase in revenues.
General and administrative expenses were $625,778 and $448,632, for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012, respectively, constituting an increase of $177,146 or 39% from the prior period. The increase in general and administrative expenses was mainly associated with loan extension fees totaling $125,000 and legal and consulting expenses associated with attempting to secure new financing. In the event the Company did not have to pay the loan extension fees (totaling $125,000), total general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2013 would have only totaled $500,778, which was only $52,146 or 11.6% more than total general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2012.
Total other expense was $394,920 and $405,699, for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012, respectively, a decrease of $10,779 or 3% from the prior period, which included a decrease in interest expense of $11,914 or 3% to $396,965 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to $408,879 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, a decrease of $33,138 in other income to $2,045 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $35,183 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, and a decrease of $32,003 in other expense to no other expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $32,003 of other expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The decrease in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012, was due to lower outstanding principal balances on our credit facilities during the period, offset by higher interest rates on such facilities.
The Company had a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2013 of $536,475 compared to net income of $95,121 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. This decline of $631,596 in net income was the result of the increase in cost of revenues associated with terminated leases and increased expenses related to a $125,000 loan extension fee and attempts to locate new financing, offset by higher revenues. Without the $125,000 loan extension fee and $396,965 of interest charges, the Company would have had a net loss of $14,780.
22
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We had total assets of $23,526,655 as of March 31, 2013, which included cash and cash equivalents of $1,563,042, investment in sales-type leases, net, of $21,196,001, vehicle inventory of $735,800, net property and equipment of $27,183, and other asset of $4,629.
We had total liabilities as of March 31, 2013 of $23,305,355, which included $1,155,926 of accounts payable and accrued liabilities, $20,887,226 of amounts due under our credit facilities with senior lenders (described in greater detail above), and $1,262,203 of notes payable to related parties.
We generated $997,948 in cash from operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013, which was due to the net loss of $536,475, proceeds from collections and reductions of net investment in sales-type leases of $1,465,503, and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $315,429. Non-cash charges for the period included imputed interest of $9,457 which also contributed positively to the cash provided by operating activities. Those items negatively impacting the cash provided by operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013, were an increase in inventory of $255,966.
We generated $886,721 in cash from operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2012, which was due to the net income of $95,121, proceeds from collections and reductions of net investment in sales-type leases of $548,986, and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $314,130. Non-cash charges for the period included depreciation of $10,460, imputed interest of $9,457, and $20,017 of amortization of debt discount, which also contributed positively to the cash provided by operating activities. Those items negatively impacting the cash provided by operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012, were an increase in inventory of $157,200 and a non-cash decrease in bad debt expense of $50,000.
Our cash balance was not affected by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012.
We had $329,700 of net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013, which was due to $380,339 of payments on credit facilities, offset by $100,000 of net proceeds from new borrowings from notes payable. We also used $49,361 for payments on debt from related parties.
We had $729,556 of net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2012, which was due to $949,556 of payments on credit facilities, offset by $220,000 of net proceeds from new borrowings from credit facilities.
We believe that the Company has adequate cash flow being generated from its investment in sales-type leases and inventories to meet its financial obligations to the banks in an orderly manner, provided we are able to continue to renew or refinance the current credit facilities and the outstanding balances are amortized over a four to five year period. The Company has historically been able to negotiate such renewals with its lenders. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to negotiate such renewals in the future on terms that will be acceptable to the Company. Additionally, as described above, the Company is currently in default of its Comerica credit facility and although Comerica has previously agreed to the terms of a forbearance, such forbearance has expired.
Over the past approximately one-hundred and twenty days, we have been in discussions with various parties and have entered into various term sheets regarding potential funding transactions in order to enable us to raise funds sufficient to pay off Comerica. To date, we have not entered into any definitive agreements associated with such potential funding transactions and do not have sufficient funding to satisfy our obligations under the Renewal.
23
In the event that we are unable to pay off Comerica or are unable to come to terms on a further forbearance or extension of the Renewal, Comerica could take further actions against us to enforce its security interest over our assets, seek immediate repayment of the full amount due under the facility, seek an immediate foreclosure of such assets and/or may take other actions which have a material adverse effect on our operations, assets and financial condition or force us to seek bankruptcy protection.
Currently we are exploring opportunities to increase the Company’s capital base through the sale of additional common or preferred stock and/or the issuance of convertible or non-convertible debt. The sale in the future of additional equity or convertible debt securities, if accomplished, may result in dilution to our then shareholders. We provide no assurance that such financing will be available to the Company in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, or at all. In the event that we are unable to raise additional funding in the future to repay the Renewal, we may be forced to seek bankruptcy protection.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We currently do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
We are evaluating the impact that recently adopted accounting pronouncements discussed in the notes to the financial statements will have on our financial statements but do not believe their adoption will have a significant impact.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K (§ 229.305(e)), the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item as it is a “smaller reporting company,” as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1).
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer has concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. To address the material weaknesses, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures in an effort to ensure our consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
These control deficiencies were not resolved by March 31, 2013. The Company continues to work with an experienced third party accounting firm in the preparation and analysis of its interim and financial reporting to ensure compliance with generally accepted accounting principles and to ensure corporate compliance.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
24
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
As a consumer leasing company, we may be subject to various consumer claims and litigation seeking damages and statutory penalties, based upon, among other things, disclosure inaccuracies, wrongful repossession, violations of bankruptcy stay provisions, certificate of title disputes, fraud, breach of contract and discriminatory treatment of applicants. Some litigation against us could take the form of class action complaints by consumers. Through our partnership with various automobile dealers, we may also be named as a co-defendant in lawsuits filed by consumers principally against dealers. The damages and penalties claimed by consumers in these types of matters can be substantial. The relief requested by the plaintiffs varies but can include requests for compensatory, statutory and punitive damages.
From time to time, we may become party to litigation or other legal proceedings that we consider to be a part of the ordinary course of our business. We are not currently involved in legal proceedings that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations. We may become involved in material legal proceedings in the future.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, filed with the Commission on April 16, 2013, except as provided below, and investors are encouraged to review such risk factors and the risk factors below prior to making an investment in the Company.
Our Credit Facility With Comerica Bank Is In Default.
On or around January 6, 2009, the Company entered into a renewal of its $33,000,000 revolving credit facility with Sterling Bank of Houston, Texas (now Comerica Bank “Comerica Bank”) that matured on October 2, 2009. On or around October 27, 2009, the Company entered into a Modification, Renewal and Extension Agreement and an Amended and Restated Loan Agreement in connection with its $33,000,000 line of credit facility with Comerica Bank (collectively the “Renewal”). Subsequent thereto, the Company entered into various extensions and renewals of the Renewal, including the entry on March 30, 2012, and with an effective date of March 10, 2012, of an extension of the Renewal with Comerica Bank, which agreed to extend the due date of the Renewal until June 10, 2012 and to forbear from enforcing certain covenants of the Renewal and pursuant to which we agreed to increase the amount of interest payable under the Renewal to the prime rate plus 3.5%, subject to a floor of 6%, which rate is currently 6.75% per annum, increase the monthly payments due under the Renewal to $275,000 per month, and pay fees associated with the extension totaling $210,000 (the “March 2012 Extension”). The outstanding balance on the Note Payable as of the effective date of the March 2012 Extension was $20,372,657. Additionally, each month, we are required to pay Comerica Bank, in addition to the monthly payments, a prepayment of principal equal to the amount of all proceeds from the sale of our vehicles which have not already been paid to Comerica Bank as a result of the monthly payment.
Comerica subsequently agreed to further extend the maturity date of the Renewal, and on several dates agreed to accept a discounted payment in full satisfaction of the amounts owed in connection with the Renewal, provided that we were unable to make such discounted payments.
The Renewal, as amended, evidences a Secured Note Payable (the "Note Payable"). At March 31, 2013, the outstanding balance on the Note Payable, which was in default, was $18,788,447.
On April 8, 2013, we and Comerica entered into a Settlement, Release, Indemnity and Limited Forbearance Agreement (the “Forbearance Agreement”). Pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement, we agreed that the Renewal was in default and Comerica agreed to forbear from taking any action against us to enforce the default until the earlier of 4 p.m. on April 18, 2013, or the date that a default occurred under the Renewal other than in connection with our failure to repay such Renewal. We also agreed to pay $500,000 towards the balance of the Renewal on April 5, 2013, which funds have been paid to date and to pay a discounted settlement payment in full satisfaction of the Renewal in the amount of $12 million on April 18, 2013, along with legal fees of Comerica’s counsel (the “Settlement Amount”). We also agreed to release Comerica from and to indemnify Comerica against certain claims and causes of action.
25
We were unable to repay the Settlement Amount by April 18, 2013, and we and Comerica are currently in discussions regarding an extended forbearance agreement which as currently contemplated will provide for Comerica to forbear from taking any action against us (subject to certain limitations and exclusions) for a period extending through July 2013, require us to make certain additional principal and interest payments to Comerica, require us to release Comerica from any liability and will provide us additional time to pay the Settlement Amount, provided that no definitive agreement has been approved or entered into between the parties.
Over the past approximately one-hundred and twenty days, we have been in discussions with various parties and have entered into various term sheets regarding potential funding transactions in order to enable us to raise funds sufficient to pay the discounted Settlement Amount that Comerica has previously agreed to accept in satisfaction of the Renewal. To date, we have not entered into any definitive agreements associated with such potential funding transactions and do not have sufficient funding to pay the Settlement Amount or to satisfy our other obligations under the Renewal. In the event that we are unable to pay the Settlement Amount (or the full amount of the Renewal, if required by Comerica) or are unable to come to terms on a further forbearance or extension of the Renewal, Comerica could take further actions against us to enforce its security interest over our assets, seek immediate repayment of the full amount due under the facility, seek an immediate foreclosure of such assets and/or may take other actions which have a material adverse effect on our operations, assets and financial condition or force us to seek bankruptcy protection.
We Will Need To Obtain Additional Financing To Continue To Execute On Our Business Plan and Continue as a Going Concern.
The availability of our credit facilities (as described above) and similar financing sources depends, in part, on factors outside of our control, including the availability of bank liquidity in general. The current disruptions in the capital markets have caused banks and other credit providers to restrict availability of new credit facilities and require more collateral and higher pricing upon renewal of existing credit facilities, if such facilities are renewed at all. Accordingly, as our existing credit facility matures, we may be required to provide more collateral in the form of finance receivables or cash to support borrowing levels which will affect our financial position, liquidity, and results of operations. In addition, higher pricing would increase our cost of funds and adversely affect our profitability.
The Comerica Bank (which is currently in default) and Moody Bank credit facilities may not be further extended. Additionally, even if extended, the Company may not have sufficient funds on hand when the credit facilities mature to retire the debt. Accordingly, we will need to further extend the credit facility and/or seek alternative financing to repay such credit facilities. Additionally, we may need additional credit to support our operations, which credit may not be available from our current banking institutions. We also have approximately $1.3 million of notes payable, which accrue interest at 12% per annum, which amount is due at various times from December 2013 to May 2014, as described in greater detail above, which we do not currently have funds to repay, but which we plan to repay from funds generated from our business activities.
We do not currently have any additional commitments of additional capital from third parties or from our sole officer and director or majority shareholders. We can provide no assurance that additional financing will be available on favorable terms, if at all. If we choose to raise additional capital through the sale of debt or equity securities, such sales may cause substantial dilution to our existing shareholders. If we are not able to extend the credit facilities, repay the Note Payable or to raise the capital necessary to repay the credit facilities and our outstanding notes payable, we may be forced to abandon or curtail our business plan, which may cause any investment in the Company to become worthless. Our independent auditor has expressed substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern if we are not successful in obtaining extensions of, renewals of and/or renegotiating our credit facilities. If we are unable to continue as a going concern, we may be forced to file for bankruptcy protection, may be forced to cease our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the value of our securities may decline in value or become worthless.
26
ITEM 2 – UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
Effective in November 2012, a shareholder holding 2 million shares of the Company’s common stock agreed to cancel such shares, which shares were cancelled effective in March 2013.
ITEM 3 - DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
As discussed above, we are currently in default in connection with the repayment of the Renewal evidenced by the Note Payable in the amount of $18,788,447.
ITEM 4 – MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES
Not applicable.
