ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
BACKGROUND
All of our operating business is currently conducted through our subsidiary, also known as Northeast Auto Acceptance Corp., a New York corporation (“NEAA-NY”), and our principal executive offices are located at 2174 Hewlett Avenue, Suite 206, Merrick, New York 11566. Our telephone number at this address is (516) 377-6311.
OUR BUSINESS
The Company was incorporated in the State of New York in 1991 under the name Catadyne Corp. and was reincorporated in Florida in 1996. Catadyne Corp. was an industrial products manufacturing business. In 2004, the business of Catadyne Corp. was discontinued and we looked for a suitable company to acquire.
In 2004, we acquired Northeast Auto Acceptance Corp., a New York corporation, a national wholesale provider of used vehicles, in a reverse acquisition and changed our name to Northeast Auto Acceptance Corp. Our corporate offices are located at 2174 Hewlett Avenue, Suite 206, Merrick, New York 11566. The Company’s Web site is under development and will be located at www.neaaonline.com.
The Company currently seeks to exploit its 12 years of experience in the wholesale automobile industry and the inefficiencies and geographic differences in the used vehicle market by purchasing high quality, late model used vehicle from dealers and institutional sellers in Northeastern states and transporting the vehicles for resale in the Pacific Northwest. We are involved only in the wholesale purchase and sale of vehicles acting as a middleman between various dealer and institutional sellers and dealer purchasers. We generally sell our vehicles only through established third-party auctions which act as a marketplace for used vehicles. We thus help align institutional used vehicle sellers and wholesale buyers over a wide geographic area.
During our last audited year, which ended December 31, 2006, we had total revenue of $71,317,892 and a net profit of $36,983.
We typically purchase vehicles from two types of sellers: institutional sellers and dealers. Institutional sellers include vehicle manufacturers and their captive finance arms, banks, vehicle finance companies, credit unions, other financial institutions, vehicle rental companies, commercial fleets and fleet management/licensing companies. Selling dealers include licensed franchised, independent and wholesale vehicle dealers. We deal only with wholesale sellers and buyers and do not buy from or sell to individuals. In addition, we do not purchase or sell scrap vehicles.
As a principal in each transaction, we take title to, and ownership of, the vehicles we purchase. We generally earn revenue from reselling the used vehicles to dealers in other geographic regions at a higher price than we paid to purchase the vehicles.
Our vehicles are purchased from institutional sellers and dealers located within a limited geographic area, specifically, the Northeastern United States. We currently resell all of these vehicles at wholesale vehicle auctions in the Pacific Northwest. On a weekly basis, we hire various third party automobile transporters to ship our vehicles from the East coast where they are purchased to wholesale auctions in the Pacific Northwest.
Generally speaking, we do not own a vehicle for more than an average of 14 days since our goal is to transport and then quickly sell, at a profit, the vehicles we purchase from sellers.
Although our business is not seasonal in nature, we do attempt to take advantage of how seasonal tastes affect the buying habits of consumers. For example, prior to the spring months we attempt to purchase a greater number of sport vehicles since consumer demand for sports models increases in the spring and summer months. Likewise, prior to the winter months, we attempt to purchase more SUVs to meet the greater consumer demand in the winter months. In addition, the prices of certain kinds of used vehicles fluctuate with the season. For example, the prices of SUVs rise prior to the winter months and drop after the winter ends.
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
With calendar year 2004 sales of approximately $367 billion, used vehicles make up nearly half of the U.S. auto retail market, the largest retail segment of the economy. In calendar 2004, there were an estimated 42.5 million used vehicles sold compared with 16.9 million new vehicles, of these vehicles approximately 9,666,000 were sold at auction, according to the National Auto Auction Association. Our primary focus, late-model vehicles that are one to six years old, is estimated at approximately $265 billion in annual sales and 20 million units per year.
2
The demand for used vehicles purchased at auction is driven by the retail demand for used vehicles. Dealers in the United States sold approximately 29.5 million used vehicles in 2002, which accounts for approximately 69% of the total used vehicle sales in the United States. The demand for used vehicles has grown due to the increase in the number of households that have more than one vehicle, improvements by manufacturers to the quality of vehicles that have extended vehicle lifespan and made used vehicles a more attractive option for retail vehicle buyers and the affordability of used vehicles relative to new vehicles.
To satisfy this large demand for used vehicles, car dealers that sell used vehicles utilize various sources of supply to stock their inventory, including trade-ins from customers on new and used vehicle purchases, purchases from other dealers, wholesalers, individuals or other entities. It has been our experience that used vehicle dealers are increasingly relying upon wholesale used vehicle auctions, such as the auctions where we primarily sell our vehicles, as a way to purchase high quality used vehicles and this has resulted in an increase in the number of used vehicles sold annually at auctions and an increase in the attendance at auctions by used vehicle dealers.
OUR SALES AND DISTRIBUTION METHODS
We attempt to have a sales cycle of as little as ten days starting with our purchase of a vehicle, transporting it to auction, reselling it at a profit and our receipt of full payment from the buyer. On a continual basis, we purchase used vehicles in the Northeast and transport and sell them in the Pacific Northwest. In doing so, we seek to exploit a continual inefficiency in the used vehicle market. That is, the supply of high quality, late model used cars is more limited in the Pacific Northwest as compared to the Northeast, resulting in substantially higher wholesale prices. This anomaly in the used vehicle market is largely a factor of the Northeast’s larger population which results in a greater number of cars being bought, sold and leased in the Northeast. The increased number of used vehicles sold in the wholesale market in the Northeast tends to create lower wholesale prices than would be paid for the same used vehicle in the Pacific northwest.
We purchase used vehicles from one of two broad categories of wholesale sellers: institutions and dealers. We do not purchase vehicles directly from private sellers. The majority of the vehicles we buy are purchased from institutional sellers and dealers located within a limited geographic area, specifically, the Northeastern United States. When we purchase vehicles from institutional sellers, the purchases are most commonly made utilizing a wholesale vehicle auction as a middleman, although, at times, we do purchase directly from institutional sellers.
Institutional sellers include vehicle manufacturers and their captive finance arms, banks, vehicle finance companies, credit unions, other financial institutions, vehicle rental companies, commercial fleets and fleet management/licensing companies. The vehicles we purchase from these sellers include vehicles that have come off lease, repossessed vehicles, rental and other program fleet vehicles that have reached a predetermined age or mileage at which time they are automatically repurchased by manufacturers and vehicles purchased by dealers as trade-ins from consumers. Our most important sellers are the captive finance arms of automobile manufacturers such as GMAC and Ford Motor Credit.
We also purchase cars from selling dealers which include licensed franchised, independent and wholesale vehicle dealers. Most of the vehicles we purchase from selling dealers were acquired by the dealers as trade-ins towards the purchase of a new vehicle since many new car dealers find it more efficient to sell trade-in vehicles to wholesale dealers like us than to offer the vehicles in their own used car departments.
A snapshot taken of our business as of a particularly date, such as December 10, 2005 provides a representative view of our operations. On December 10, 2005, we had 225 vehicles in inventory, with a total purchased value of approximately $2.9 million. A sampling of the kinds of vehicles making up that inventory would include SUVs and vans such as late model Toyota 4 Runners and Sequoias, Chevrolet Suburbans and Tahoes, Ford Explorers and Windstars and Cadillac Escalades, as well as passenger cars, such as Honda Accords, Mini Coopers and Saab 9-3s. All of these vehicles were quickly sold by us, at wholesale auctions in the Pacific Northwest. Although our business is not seasonal in nature, we do attempt to take advantage of how seasonal tastes affect the buying habits of consumers. For example, prior to the spring months we attempt to purchase a greater number of sport vehicles since consumer demand for sports models increases in the spring and summer months. Likewise, prior to the winter months, we attempt to purchase more SUVs to meet the greater consumer demand in the winter months. In addition, the prices of certain kinds of used vehicles fluctuate with the season. For example, the prices of SUVs rise prior to the winter months and drop after the winter ends.
Our management has extensive experience in selecting used vehicles for purchase. Prior to purchase, we learn about the availability of our used vehicles being sold by institutional sellers, directly from the sellers, either via their Web sites or from lists they provide to us. We use a combination of industry guidebooks and management’s experience in determining what the proper price to bid for and purchase a used vehicle. Once we successfully bid on a vehicle, we use third party contractors to inspect the vehicles for substantial defects and we reserve the right to reject the purchase of any vehicle showing substantial defects.
Currently, we purchase vehicles, on a monthly basis, through six (6) auction houses, which each comprise over ten percent (10%) of our purchases, namely, Skyline Auto Exchange, Southern Auto Auction, ADESA Boston Auto Auction, NADE (National Auto Dealers Exchange), ADESA New Jersey Auto Auction and Manheim Auto Auction. It should be noted that we are not dependant upon any one auction house for our purchases, since in the event that any particular auction house should go out of business, the sellers utilizing such auction house would shift to other auctions. We currently utilize a revolving line of credit of up to $975,000 provided by Manheim Automotive Financial Services, Inc., an affiliate of Manheim Auto Auction, Inc. (“Manheim”). Pursuant to such line of credit, which is designed specifically for the purchase of vehicles from Manheim, we are obligated to repay each advance against the line of credit in no more than 21 days after it is advanced to the Company. The Manheim line of credit also contains several other material terms, specifically, the loan is secured against vehicles purchase with the funds, we have agreed to maintain reasonable amount of adequate cash necessary to operate our business and we have agreed not to make any material changes in our business or material change in our capital structure.
3
The current focus of our sales activity is the sale of our vehicles at wholesale auctions located in the Pacific Northwest. On a weekly basis, we hire various non-union, third party automobile shippers to transport our vehicles to wholesale auctions in the Pacific Northwest. We utilize the services of established third party vehicle shippers that take our vehicles from the New York metropolitan area and ship them to the Pacific Northwest on our behalf. We have non-exclusive arrangements with these shipping companies and we regularly contract with several different transporters.
The average time it takes to ship a vehicle is five days. Our shipping costs are partially dependant on the price of fuel and may rise or fall depending upon the then-current fuel costs at any point in time and as of December 31, 2006, our average cost to ship a vehicle is $883 per vehicle. Once our vehicles are shipped to the third party auction locations, they are cleaned and minor repairs, if necessary, are made by third party contractors who are provided by the auction houses as add-on services available to all of its sellers.
We utilize third party wholesale used vehicle auctions for almost all of our sales and they are a key element in our business. Auctions serve as a real-time independent marketplace for the industry and efficiently transfer ownership and title, administer the flow of funds between sellers and buyers of vehicles and facilitate the storing, transporting, reconditioning and selling of vehicles.
By selling at wholesale auctions, we help assure that we receive the highest possible prices for our vehicles in an efficient marketplace and we help assure that we can quickly sell the vehicles we purchase. Equally important, auctions assure payment from buyers by escrowing title until payment is received, so that the Company’s credit risk on vehicle sales is substantially reduced.
We believe that auctions are the best means of transferring ownership of used vehicles based on the short time-to-cash cycle auctions offer, the low cost of utilizing auctions as a percent of the gross market value of the vehicles placed at auction and the relative transparency of the auction process. As a result, auctions offer a large and liquid market resulting in true real time market prices for each vehicle sold.
The total numbers of cars we sold in 2006, 2005 and 2004 was as follows and our total revenue and net loss for each those years is shown below:
Year | Cars | Revenue | Profit (Loss) |
2006 | 4,698 | $71,317,892 | $36,983 |
2005 | 4,259 | $60,993,353 | ($1,145,119) |
2004 | 3,562 | $47,279,498 | ($1,255,822) |
GROWTH STRATEGY
We are pursuing strategic initiatives that are designed to capitalize on our underlying business strengths, grow our business and improve our profitability. Key elements of our growth strategy include:
Growing vehicle sales volume. We expect to grow our business by capitalizing on the increasing volume of used vehicles purchase and sold annually. We intend to increase vehicle volume from existing institutional customers and to add new accounts by increased marketing efforts and through the acquisition of smaller competitors.
Identifying new markets. We expect to expand our resale efforts from the Pacific Northwest to other geographic markets within the United States where we can identify similar market inefficiencies and where the supply of high quality, late model used vehicles is limited.
Acquisitions of Smaller Competitors. We have a large number of smaller competitors whose sales volume is less than ours, but who have established relationships with dealers with whom we do not currently do business. We plan on either acquiring one or more of these smaller competitors or entering into other relationships with such companies which allows us to take advantage of their existing relationship.
Optimizing profit per vehicle sold. In 2006, we had a net profit per car sold of $8. We plan to increase our average profit per car by up to $200 by negotiating better terms from sellers and by reducing transportation costs through greater volume commitments to shippers and through the possible utilization of railroad shipping for vehicles which are now available to us due to the larger number of vehicles that we now ship.

COMPETITIVE STRENGTHS
We believe that the following key competitive strengths are critical to our continuing success:
Experienced management team. The members of our senior management team have an average of 18 years of experience in the auto industry and have successfully grown our company to become a leader in the wholesale used vehicle market. Our management team has accomplished this by implementing a disciplined strategy of selective vehicle purchases and increasing sales. Over the past several years, our management team has demonstrated its ability to efficiently and successfully integrate both large and small acquisitions of used vehicles and has increased the number of vehicles bought and sold annually.
Established relationships with diversified customer base. Since the supply of high quality used vehicles is limited, our long standing business relationships with institutional sellers and our ability to quickly close and pay for purchases are a strong competitive advantage. We have established strong business relationships with selling dealers and institutional customers, such as vehicle manufacturers, financial institutions, rental agencies and fleet companies. Our customer base is primarily comprised of repeat customers, which allows us to reduce the amount of time required to close a purchase or sale and allows us access to dealer and institutional vehicles for sale which would not be available to less established competitors. Due to the diversity of our customer base, we do not have a major concentration of business with any one customer on either the buy or sale side of a transaction. In fact, none of sellers from which we purchase vehicles, accounts for more than 10% of our purchasing volume and no one purchaser of our vehicles accounts for 10% or more of our selling. This diversity also allows us to better withstand changes in the economy and market conditions. Our sales and marketing team seeks to foster and maintain strong relationships with our customers through frequent contact and customer service. These open lines of communication allow us to be more responsive and timely in meeting our customers' needs and goals, regardless of the size of their portfolio of vehicles.
Experienced Administrative Staff. We have developed streamlined administrative services which handle title processing and administrative paperwork resulting in lower administrative costs, greater efficiency and reduced turnaround times for vehicles we purchase and sell.
COMPETITION
All aspects of the automotive industry are highly competitive. We regularly compete for the purchase of used vehicles with small and large dealers and other wholesalers. At our auctions, we compete with numerous other sellers of used vehicles including the same types of sellers from whom we purchase vehicles.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY PROTECTION
We regard the protection of our service marks, trademarks and trade secrets as critical to our future success and rely on a combination of trademark, service mark and trade secret laws and contractual restrictions to establish and protect our proprietary rights in our services. Although we do not believe that we infringe the proprietary rights of third parties, there can be no assurance that third parties will not claim infringement by us with respect to past, current or future services.
GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION
In addition to the laws and regulations which apply to all businesses, our operations are subject to regulation, supervision and licensing under various state and local statutes and regulations applicable to wholesale used vehicle dealers. We are licensed by the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles as a wholesale motor vehicles dealer and by the New Jersey Department of Motor Vehicles as an automobile leasing company. The cost of compliance with all such regulations is minimal.
Since we sell automobiles and are not engaged in manufacturing, we did not spend any material amounts on compliance with environmental laws.
EMPLOYEES
As of December 31, 2006, we had seven full time employees, including two in Sales and Support and five in Administration. In addition, we have on-going relationships with six contactors who work as sales representatives for the Company. Although talented and qualified employees are difficult to find in the current tight job market, we have experienced relative success in attracting and retaining highly motivated and talented employees.
We believe that the future success of the Company will depend in part on our continued ability to attract, integrate, retain and motivate highly qualified sales and managerial personnel, and upon the continued service of our senior management. The competition for qualified personnel in our industry and geographical location is intense, and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in attracting, integrating, retaining and motivating a sufficient number of qualified personnel to conduct our business in the future. From time to time, we also employ independent contractors to support our marketing and sales organization. We have never had a work stoppage, and no employees are represented under collective bargaining agreements. We consider our relations with our employees to be good.
5
SUBSIDIARIES
We have one subsidiary, Northeast Auto Acceptance Corp., a New York corporation, which was incorporation in 1996 and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Northeast Auto Acceptance Corp., a Florida corporation. All of our operating business is handled by our New York subsidiary and information contained herein regarding the business of the Company reflects the operating business of our New York subsidiary.
ITEM 1B. RISK FACTORS
The Company is subject to various risks, including the risks described below. The Company’s business, operating results, and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected by any of these risks. Additional risks not presently known to the company or that the Company currently deems immaterial may also impair the business and its operations.
Economic Conditions and Gasoline Prices May Affect Sales. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to changes in general or regional U.S. economic conditions, including, but not limited to, consumer credit availability, consumer credit delinquency and default rates, interest rates, gasoline prices, inflation, personal discretionary spending levels, and consumer sentiment about the economy in general. Any significant changes in economic conditions could adversely affect consumer demand and/or increase our costs resulting in lower profitability for the Company. In addition, our transportation costs are partially tied to the cost of gasoline and any additional increases to the cost of gasoline may increase our costs and may result in lower profitability.
Our Business is Highly Competitive. The reselling of late model used vehicles is a highly competitive business. The Company’s competition includes publicly and privately owned franchised new car dealers and independent dealers, as well as millions of private individuals. The company’s competitors may sell the same or similar makes of vehicles that the Company offers in the same or similar markets at competitive prices. Further, new entrants to the market could result in increased wholesale costs for used vehicles and lower-than-expected vehicle sales and margins. Additionally, competition on vehicle sales is increasing as these products are now being marketed and sold over the Internet. Customers are using the Internet to compare pricing for cars and related financing, which may further reduce the Company’s profitability.
Retail and Wholesale Prices May Vary Depending Upon Factors Beyond the Company’s Control. Any significant changes in retail or wholesale prices for used and new vehicles could result in lower sales and margins for the Company. If any of the Company’s competitors seek to gain or retain market share by reducing prices for used vehicles, the Company would likely reduce its prices in order to remain competitive, which may result in a decrease in its sales and profitability and require a change in its operating strategies.
There are Risks Associated with Purchasing Inventory. A reduction in the availability or access to sources of inventory would adversely affect the Company’s business. A failure to adjust the price that the Company offers to purchase vehicles from sellers to stay in line with market trends, or a failure to recognize those trends, could negatively impact the Company’s ability to acquire inventory.
We are Highly Dependant Upon Our Management and Workforce. The Company’s success depends upon the continued contribution of its corporate management team. Consequently, the loss of the services of key employees could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations. In addition, in order to expand the Company’s business, the Company will need to hire additional personnel. The market for qualified employees in the industry and in the regions in which the Company operates is highly competitive and may subject the company to increased labor costs during periods of low unemployment.
We are Dependant Upon Our Information Systems. The Company’s business is dependent upon the efficient operation of its information systems. In particular, the Company relies on its information systems to effectively manage its sales, inventory and customer information. The failure of the Company’s information systems to perform as designed or the failure to maintain and continually enhance or protect the integrity of these systems could disrupt the Company’s business, impact sales and profitability, or expose the Company to customer or third-party claims.
Our Availability to Capital May Vary. Changes in the availability or cost of capital and working capital financing, including the availability of long-term financing to support development of the Company, could adversely affect the company’s growth and operating strategies. Further, the Company’s current credit facilities contains certain financial covenants and the Company’s future credit facilities may contain covenants and/or performance triggers. Any failure by the Company to comply with these covenants and/or performance triggers could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.
Our Purchases and Sales are Geographically Concentrated. The Company’s performance is subject to local economic, competitive, and other conditions prevailing in geographic areas where the Company operates. Since currently, all of our vehicles are purchased in the Northeast and are sold in the Pacific Northwest, the Company’s current results of operations depend substantially on general economic conditions and consumer spending habits in these markets. In the event that any of the geographic areas in which the Company does business experiences a downturn in economic conditions, it may adversely affect the Company’s business. Furthermore, in the event that the regional price discrepancies of vehicles that the Company exploits should decrease or disappear, it may adversely affect the Company’s business.
6
We Currently Have Just One Director. Our Board of Directors is currently comprised of just one member, our Chief Executive Officer William Solko. Thus, without any independent directors, conflicts of interest between the Company and our Chief Executive Officer may occur regarding issues such as executive compensation. We intend to increase the size of the Board of Directors in 2007.
Control of the Company by Our Majority Stockholder. Our Chief Executive Officer, William Solko, is the majority stockholder of the Company and owns 56.4% of the shares issued and outstanding. Accordingly, the present majority stockholder of the Company is in a position to elect all of the directors of the Company and control its policies.
Our Costs Are Partially Dependant Upon Fuel Costs. Because all of the vehicles we purchase must be shipped from the Northeast to the Pacific Northwest, we are dependant upon variations in the cost of fuel. Any significant rise in the cost of fuel will increase our transportation costs and we may not be able to pass these increased costs along to our customers, resulting in lower net profits on each vehicle we sell.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The matters discussed in this registration statement contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed herein. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences are discussed in this section and elsewhere in this registration statement.
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Registration Statement. The matters discussed in this Registration Statement contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed herein. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below in "Factors Affecting Our Business, Operating Results, and Financial Condition" as well as those discussed in this section and elsewhere in this Registration Statement.
We are a wholesale automobile sales company which seeks to exploit the inefficiencies and geographic differences in the used vehicle market by purchasing high quality, late model used vehicles from dealers and institutional sellers in Northeastern states and transporting the vehicles for resale in the Pacific Northwest. We are involved only in the wholesale purchase and sale of vehicles acting as a middleman between various dealer and institutional sellers and dealer purchasers. We generally sell our vehicles only through established third-party auctions which act as a marketplace for used vehicles. We thus help align institutional used vehicle sellers and wholesale buyers over a wide geographic area.
We monitor our performance as a business using a number of measures that are not found in our consolidated financial statements. Most specifically, we measure the total number of vehicle we purchase and sell in each year and use that as an indicator of our growth. We believe that improvement in this metric will result in improvements in our financial performance over time and we use this metric as a measure of operating performance in addition to net income and the other measures included in our consolidated financial statements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of our operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported for assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. A summary of our significant accounting policies is more fully described in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Registration Statement.
Our critical accounting policies are those that we believe are both important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and that involve difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. The estimates are based on historical experience and on various assumptions about the ultimate outcome of future events. Our actual results may differ from these estimates in the event unforeseen events occur or should the assumptions used in the estimation process differ from actual results.
We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
Securities and Exchange Commission released Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, "Revenue Recognition" ("SAB 104"). All of our revenue is generated from the sales of used vehicles. We recognize revenue only when one of vehicles is sold at auction to a buyer and upon the occurrence of either the title being transferred or when buyer assumes the responsibility of ownership such as the risk of loss.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
All of our vehicles are sold through wholesale auctions houses. The terms of the auction sales require that payment be received by the seller prior to the title being transferred to the purchaser. Thus, we receive payment upon the sale of each vehicle and therefore, we do not maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts on our financial statements.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes in accordance with the asset and liability method required by SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"). Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market using the specific identification basis. Since we generally only own vehicles in our inventory for less than 14 days, we do not have to estimate the realizability of our inventory since it is generally 100% sold within 14 days.

Stock-Based Compensation
We do not maintain share-based incentive plans for our employees and have not granted any stock as compensation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission released Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, "Revenue Recognition" ("SAB 104"). SAB 104 clarifies existing guidance regarding revenue recognition. Neither the Company's adoption of SAB 104 nor its adoption of proposed Standards will have an impact on its consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
No other recently issued accounting standards adopted by the Company during 2006, 2005 and 2004 nor any proposed standards will have an impact on its consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Sale, General and Administrative
Sale, general and administrative (“SGA”) expenses are composed principally of commission, salaries of administrative personnel, fees for professional services and facilities expenses. These expenses were $817,601 for the year ended December 31, 2006 or 1.15% of net revenue as compared to $887,754 or 1.46% of net revenue for 2005.

This decrease was primarily as a result of a sharp decrease in fees paid to consultants in 2006 and our being able to amortize our fixed salary expenses over a larger sales volume. The following table shows the changes in the components our these expenses during the comparable periods
Period Ended December 31, 2006 | Period Ended December 31, 2005 | Change | Percent Change | ||||||||||

Officers’ salaries are determined by management based upon the Company’s operating results and were increased in 2006 to reflect the increased revenues of the Company in 2006. The reduction of interest expense between 2006 and 2005 is due to a one time interest charge in 2005 for the beneficial conversion feature on a convertible note issuance.

The increase in revenue was a result of our continued growth of our business, our increased access to capital, the increase in the number of vehicles we sold in 2005 over 2004 and an increase in the average sales price per vehicle sold. Specifically, in the year ended December 31, 2005 we sold 4,259 vehicles at an average sales price of $14,321 as compared to only 3,562 vehicles at an average sales price of $13,273 during the comparable period in 2004.

Thus, our gross profit margin was 2.83% for 2005 and 3.4% for 2004. While the $136,783 increase in our gross profit amount from 2005 over 2004 was attributable to an increase of gross revenues over cost of revenues, the decrease in our gross profit margin was as a result of the fluctuation in the price we paid for similar model vehicles between 2005 and 2004, as a result of market forces.
Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses are comprised primarily of salaries, consulting fees and sales, general and administrative expenses.
Sale, General and Administrative
Sale, general and administrative (“SGA”) expenses are composed principally of commission, salaries of administrative personnel, fees for professional services and facilities expenses. These expenses were $1,032,799 for the year ended December 31, 2005 or 1.69% of net revenue as compared to $746,329 or 1.58% of net revenue for 2004, an increase of $286,470 or 38.4%. The increase in the ratio of SGA expenses to net revenue was primarily due to increased personnel and transportation costs in 2005.
Other Expenses
Our combined expenses for officers salaries, stock based consulting fees and interest was $1,973,485 for the year ended December 31, 2005 or 3.2% of net revenue a decrease of $122,759 from 2004 when such expenses were $2,096,244 or 4.4% of net revenue. This decrease was primarily as a result of a sharp decrease in fees paid to consultants in 2005 related to our reverse acquisition transaction which was in the amount of $756,794 as compared to $1,360,150 in 2004. The following table shows the changes in the components our these expenses during the comparable periods.

Interest Expense | $ | 642,982 | $ | 166,551 | $ | 476,431 | 286.1 | % |
The increase in interest expense incurred in 2005 was primarily due to a one time charge to interest expense for the beneficial conversion feature on a convertible note issuance.
Operating Gain (Loss)
Operating gain is calculated as our net revenues less all of our operating expenses. Our operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2005 was ($1,137,705) or (1.9%) of net revenue as compared to a loss of ($1,255,822) or (2.6%) of net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2004.
This decrease in operating loss was primarily as a result of a decrease in our expenses related to our reverse acquisition transaction accompanied by an increase in the percentage of revenues which were used for operating expenses resulting in a decreased loss.
Net Profit (Loss)
Our net profit (or loss) is calculated as our operating gain (or loss) less amount paid in income taxes. Because we had an operating loss in 2004, we paid no income taxes and therefore our net loss was equal to our operating loss.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net cash used by operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2006 was $842,017 attributable to changes in operating assets (specifically increases in accounts receivable and inventory) and representing an increase of $443,442 when compared with net used by operating activities of $398,575 during the same period in 2005. During the same period in 2004,
Net cash used in investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2006 was $2,309 representing a decrease of $1,880 when compared with net cash used by investing activities of $4,189 during the same period in 2005. During the same period in 2004, net cash used in investing activities was $0.
Net cash provided by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2006 was $495,829 attributable to receipt of proceeds from demand and stockholder loans and from our line of credit and representing a decrease of $368,030 compared with net cash provided by financing activities of $863,859 during the same period in 2005. During the same period in 2004, net cash provided by financing activities was $549,725.
Our capital requirements are dependent on several factors and are primarily related to our purchasing of vehicles. Over the next twelve months our capital requirements will be directly related to the number of vehicles that we purchase for resale and the growth of our business. Currently, our vehicle purchases are all made out of working capital, cash flow from operations and our revolving lines of credit. At December 31, 2006, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $188,037, accounts receivable of $695,181 and inventory of $3,656,059. Despite large annual increases in our revenues from 2004 through 2006, we experienced net income of $36,893 in 2006 and net losses of $1,145,119 and $1,255,822 in 2005 and 2004 respectively. These losses were mainly attributable to the increased costs of running a public company following our reverse acquisition transaction in 2004 and increased personnel expenses associated with our growth. We anticipate that we will be able to continue to increase profitability through decreasing our vehicle transportation costs and be optimizing our purchasing procedures.
We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents along with cash to be generated by operations and our lines of credit will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash for the next fiscal year. If our revenues decrease or if our customers fail to make timely payments on open receivables, our cash generated from operations will likely not be sufficient to fund operations. If this occurs, we may need to reduce vehicle purchases or raise additional capital through debt or equity financing.
If cash generated from operations is insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain a credit facility. The sale of additional equity or convertible debt securities could result in additional dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in an increase in our fixed obligations and could result in borrowing covenants that would restrict our operations. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If financing is not available when required or is not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to continue to grow our business. In addition, we may be unable to take advantage of business opportunities or respond to competitive pressures. Any of these events could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

ITEM 11. DESCRIPTION OF REGISTRANT'S SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED
The descriptions in this Item and in other sections of this Registration Statement of our securities and various provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and our Bylaws are summaries. Since this is a summary, statements contained in this Registration Statement relating to such provisions may not contain all information relevant to investors. Reference is hereby made to the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, copies of which have been filed with the SEC as exhibits to this Registration Statement, and provisions of applicable law.
Our authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, no par value, and 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, no par value. As of December 31, 2006, only common stock is being registered under the Exchange Act pursuant to this Registration Statement. As of December 31, 2006, no shares of our Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding.
Description of Common Stock
The holders of our common stock are entitled to equal dividends and distributions per share with respect to the common stock when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors from funds legally available therefore. No holder of any shares of our common stock has a preemptive right to subscribe for any of our securities, nor are any common shares subject to redemption or convertible into other of our securities. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, and after payment of creditors and preferred stockholders, if any, the assets will be divided pro-rata on a share-for-share basis among the holders of the shares of common stock.
Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote with respect to the election of any director or any other matter upon which shareholders are required or permitted to vote. Holders of the common stock do not have cumulative voting rights, so the holders of more than 50% of the combined shares voting for the election of directors may elect all of the directors if they choose to do so, and, in that event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any members to the Board of Directors.
Anti-Takeover Effects of Various Provisions of Florida Law and Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws
We are incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida and are therefore subject to various provisions of the Florida corporation laws which may have the effect of delaying or deterring a change in the control or management of the Registrant.
Certain provisions of our Bylaws which are summarized below may affect potential changes in control of NEA. The Board of Directors believes that these provisions are in the best interests of stockholders because they will encourage a potential acquirer to negotiate with the Board of Directors, which will be able to consider the interests of all stockholders in a change in control situation. However, the cumulative effect of these terms maybe to make it more difficult to acquire and exercise control of NEA and to make changes in management more difficult.
19
The Bylaws provide the number of directors of NEA shall be established by the Board of Directors, but shall be no less than one. Between stockholder meetings, the Board may appoint new directors to fill vacancies or newly created directorships. A director may be removed from office by the affirmative vote of a majority of the combined voting power of the then outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors.
The Bylaws further provide that stockholder action may be taken at a meeting of stockholders and may be effected by a consent in writing if such consent is signed all of the holders of common stock.
We are not aware of any proposed takeover attempt or any proposed attempt to acquire a large block of our common stock.
The provisions described above may have the effect of delaying or deterring a change in the control or management of the Company.
ITEM 12. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Our Articles of Incorporation provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, none of our directors or officers shall be personally liable to us or our shareholders for damages for breach of any duty owed to us or our shareholders. In addition, we shall have the power, by our by-laws or in any resolution of our stockholders or directors, to undertake to indemnify the officers and directors of ours against any contingency or peril as may be determined to be in our best interest and in conjunction therewith, to procure, at our expense, policies of insurance.
At this time, no statute or provision of the by-laws, any contract or other arrangement provides for insurance or indemnification of any of our controlling persons, directors or officers which would affect his or her liability in that capacity.
There is no pending litigation or proceeding involving one of our directors, officers, employees or other agents as to which indemnification is being sought, and we are not aware of any pending or threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification by any director, officer, employee or other agent.
We intend to enter into indemnification agreements with our directors and officers. These agreements will provide, in general, that we shall indemnify and hold harmless such directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law against any judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement, and expenses (including attorneys' fees and disbursements) incurred in connection with, or in any way arising out of, any claim, action or proceeding (whether civil or criminal) against, or affecting, such directors and officers resulting from, relating to or in any way arising out of, the service of such persons as our directors and officers.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, we have has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM |
Board of Directors |
Northeast Auto Acceptance Corp. |
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Northeast Auto Acceptance Corp. as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31, 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required at this time, to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As discussed in Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows, and stockholders' equity for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 have been restated.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Northeast Auto Acceptance Corp. at December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31, 2006 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the in the United States of America.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
Northeast Auto Acceptance Corp. (the “Company") was incorporated in New York in July 1991 under the name of Catadyne Corporation and was reincorporated in Florida on February 1, 1996. The Company was engaged in the energy conservation industry. By January 2003, the Company did not have any business operations except for having an officer on staff, and was a non-operating shell corporation.
On January 14, 2004, the Company issued 200,000 shares of its' common stock to Northeast Auto Acceptance Corp (a New York corporation) (“NAAC-NY”) when the Company had 181,886 shares outstanding as consideration for the acquisition of NAAC-NY. NAAC-NY was incorporated in New York on December 31, 1996. NAAC-NY buys used automobiles at auctions, then repairs, cleans, transports and resells them wholesale throughout the Pacific Northwest.
On March 4, 2004, the Company acquired NAAC-NY the accounting acquirer and to change its name to Northeast Auto Acceptance Corporation. Catadyne Corporation, the legal acquirer, was a non-operating public shell corporation at the time of the transaction.

NOTE-2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that effect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market using the specific identification basis.
Depreciation
The cost of equipment is depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets of five years.
Principles of Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary Northeast Auto Acceptance (New York). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

NOTE-2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Revenue Recognition
The Company buys used autos and recognizes revenue when it resells them and title is transferred to the buyer. The costs of the auto, any fees charged, and any repair costs are included in the costs of sales. The Company is the owner of the vehicle until the sale is complete and as such has all risks inherent with such ownership.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method as required by SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"). Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
Reverse Stock Split
The Company effected a 1-for-5 reverse stock split of its common stock no par value on February 20, 2004. Accordingly all share and per share information included in the consolidated financial statements has been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In December 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission released Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, "Revenue Recognition" ("SAB 104"). SAB 104 clarifies existing guidance regarding revenue recognition. The Company's adoption of SAB 104 nor the adoption of proposed Standards did not have nor will have an impact on its consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Interim Financial Information
The unaudited balance sheet, the unaudited statements of income and cash flows have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows as at March 31, 2007, have been included. Readers of these financial statements should note that the interim results for the three month period ended March 31, 2007, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole.
Accounts receivable consists of the following: | March 31, | December 31, | ||||||||

Accounts receivable-trade | $ | 1,388,614 | $ | 695,181 | $ | 594,800 |

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market using the specific identification basis.
The inventory is valued by comparing the total cost of the vehicle to our net realizable value at the time of sale or to the "Blue Book" value for unsold vehicles. The lower of these is used to price the inventory. Our experience has been that costs are usually equal to or lower than our net realizable value or the "Blue Book" value. Since our inventory is usually turned over in a short time, our pricing is not sensitive to wide deviations from the actual results. The Company has not had to make revisions to it's pricing of inventory as a result of deviations from actual results. The inventories are limited by the amount of working capital the Company has at any one time.

NOTE 15 - OFF BALANCE SHEET RISK
Included in the accompanying balance sheet is inventory of used automobiles at a carrying value of $3,433,395 at March 31, 2007, $3,656,059 at December 31, 2006, $2,633,759 at December 31, 2005, $2,943,560 at December 31, 2004, which represents management's estimate of its net realizable value which approximate market. Such value is based on forecasts for sales of used automobiles in the ensuing year. The used automobile industry is characterized by rapid price changes. Should demand for used automobiles prove to be significantly less than anticipated, the ultimate realizable value of such products could be substantially less than the amount shown in the balance sheet. This risk is increased by the Company's need to move inventory due to the lack of working capital.
The Company has not experienced any significant write-downs or write-offs of inventory over the last three years.

The Company’s previously issued financial statements were revised as a result of our responses to certain questions raised in a comment letter by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission upon their review of our Form 10 filing. After review of the comments and further analysis, Management determined that the value of shares of common stock issued in exchange for services rendered to the Company by third parties had not been properly determined. We also found that a certain conversion of a note payable contained a “beneficial conversion feature “on the conversion. Management also believes such restatements reflect the correction of any errors and omissions of material disclosures in the financial statements in accordance with SFAS 154: Accounting changes and error corrections (as amended).
