DIRT MOTOR SPORTS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2005
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
References in this document to “the Company,” “Boundless,” “DIRT,” “we,” “us” and “our” mean Dirt Motor Sports, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Subsequent to the acquisition of DIRT Motorsports, Inc. in 2004, the Company began operating under the d/b/a name DIRT MotorSports and in July 2005, the Company reincorporated in Delaware and changed the Company’s name from “Boundless Motor Sports Racing, Inc.” to “Dirt Motor Sports, Inc.”
We are a leading marketer and promoter of motorsports entertainment in the United States. Our motorsports subsidiaries operate 6 dirt motorsports tracks (4 are owned and 2 facilities are under short term lease agreements) in New York, Pennsylvania and Florida. We own and operate four of the premier sanctioning bodies in dirt motorsports: the World of Outlaws, DIRT Motorsports, United Midwestern Promoters (UMP) and the Mid America Racing Series (MARS). Through these sanctioning bodies we organize and promote 16 national and regional racing series including the World of Outlaw Sprint Series and the World of Outlaws Stacker 2 Late Model Series and we expect to sanction races at nearly 200 tracks across the United States and Canada.
On February 4, 2004, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all the assets of the World of Outlaws, Inc. (“World of Outlaws”). Prior to this event, the Company was devoting substantially all of its efforts to establishing the business and was therefore a development stage enterprise until February 4, 2004.
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004, the Company entered into a series of related transactions resulting in the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding stock of DIRT Motorsports, Inc. (“DIRT”) and two affiliated race tracks.
On December 5, 2004, the Company acquired all of the outstanding membership interest in United Midwestern Promoters Motorsports, LLC (“UMP”).
On November 7, 2004, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement to acquire substantially all of the assets of Lernerville Speedway, Inc. (“LSI”). This acquisition was completed in March 2005, and the total consideration for the assets acquired was $3,240,000.
On March 10, 2005, the Company entered into and consummated an Asset Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the assets related to the business of sanctioning and conducting the dirt track racing events known as the Mid America Racing Series (“MARS”). The assets were acquired in exchange for an aggregate cash purchase price of $150,000.
On June 30, 2005, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Volusia Speedway Park, Inc., (“Volusia Speedway”) in exchange for an aggregate purchase price of $3,600,000.
NOTE 2 — GOING CONCERN
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. As shown in the consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $2.7 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2005 and $7.2 million for the nine month period ended June 30, 2005. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $21.6 million and negative working capital of $2.3 million as of June 30, 2005, which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The future success of the Company is dependent on its ability to attain profitable operations and upon its ability to obtain additional capital if necessary. There can be no assurance that the Company will attain positive cash flows from operations or be successful in obtaining such financing.
We anticipate raising funds through additional private placements of preferred stock and additional sources of long-term financing. We believe the Company’s operations and sponsorship revenues will also provide additional cash flows as the Company strives to achieve profitability through operations.

NOTE 3 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, but do not include all of the information and disclosures required for audited financial statements. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2004. In the opinion of management, these statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending September 30, 2005 due to the seasonal nature of the Company’s business.
The factors discussed in Footnote 2 above raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE 4 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in prior periods presented have been reclassified to conform to the current financial statement presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported net income or loss.
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 amount of assets and liabilities and disclosures 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.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Dirt Motor Sports, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue
The Company classifies its revenues as race sanctioning and event fees, admission fees and ticket sales, sponsorship and advertising, merchandise sales and other revenue. “Race sanctioning and event fees” includes amounts received from track owners and promoters for the organization and/or delivery of our racing series or touring shows including driver fees and purses received. “Admission fees and ticket sales” includes ticket sales for all events held at the Company’s owned or leased facilities and ticket sales for our touring shows where we rent tracks for individual events and organize, promote and deliver our racing programs. “Sponsorship and advertising” revenue includes fees obtained for the right to sponsor our motorsports events, series or publications and for advertising in our printed publications or television programming.
The Company recognizes race sanctioning and event fees upon the successful completion of a scheduled race or event. Race sanction and event fees collected prior to a scheduled race event are deferred and recognized when earned upon the occurrence of the scheduled race or event. Admission fees and ticket sales are recognized as revenues on the day of the event. Income from memberships to our sanctioning bodies is recognized on a prorated basis over the term of the membership. The Company recognizes revenue from sponsorship and advertising agreements when earned in the applicable racing season as set forth in the sponsorship or advertising agreement either upon completion of events or publication of the advertising. Revenue from merchandise sales are recognized at the time of sale less estimated returns and allowances, if any. Revenues and related expenses from barter transactions in which the Company receives goods or services in exchange for sponsorships of motorsports events are recorded at fair value in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 99-17,Accounting for Advertising Barter Transactions. Barter transactions accounted for $37,000 and $62,000 of total revenues for the respective three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2005. There were no barter transactions recorded as revenues for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2004.
Expense Recognition and Deferral
Certain direct expenses pertaining to specific events, including prize and point fund monies, advertising and other expenses associated with the promotion of our racing events are deferred until the event is held, at which point they are expensed. Annual points fund monies which are paid at the end of the racing season are accrued during the racing season based upon the races held and total races scheduled.
The cost of non-event related advertising, promotion and marketing programs are expensed as incurred.
-8-
Net loss Per Share
Basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) are calculated in accordance with FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share. For the three months ended June 30, 2005, the net loss per share applicable to common stock has been computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
For the three months ended June 30, 2005 the Company had the following warrants outstanding:
| • | | Series A warrants to purchase 4,172,925 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 |
|
| • | | Series B warrants to purchase 933,334 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $4.00 |
|
| • | | Series C warrants to purchase 2,200,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 |
|
| • | | Placement Agent Warrants to purchase 1,186,266 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $2.70 to $5.00 |
|
| • | | Warrants to purchase 40,000 shares of common stock issued in connection with the UMP acquisition at an exercise price of $3.65 |
In addition, as of June 30, 2005, the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock was convertible into 6,882,819 shares of common stock and the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock was convertible into 2,500,000 shares of common stock. None of these were included in the computation of diluted EPS because the Company had a net loss and all potential issuance of common stock would have been anti-dilutive.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Inventories
Inventories of retail merchandise are stated at the lower of cost or market on the first in, first out method. Shipping, handling and freight costs related to merchandise inventories are charged to cost of merchandise.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided for financial reporting purposes using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets ranging from 3 to 40 years. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are expensed as incurred; major renewals and betterments are capitalized. At the time depreciable assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and the accumulated depreciation of the assets are eliminated from the accounts and any profit or loss is recognized.
The carrying values of property and equipment are evaluated for impairment based upon expected future undiscounted cash flows. If events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable, an impairment loss would be recognized equal to the difference between the carrying value of the asset and its fair value. As of June 30, 2005, the Company believes there is no impairment of property and equipment.
Purchase Accounting
The Company accounted for its acquisitions of assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (“SFAS No. 141”), Business Combinations and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Intangible Assets (“SFAS No. 142”). SFAS no. 141 requires that all business combinations entered into subsequent to June 30, 2001 be accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and that certain acquired intangible assets in a business combination be recognized and reported as assets apart from goodwill.
Intangible Assets
Upon its inception, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” Under SFAS No. 142 goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not to be amortized but are tested for impairment at least annually. Intangible assets with definite useful lives are to be amortized over the respective estimated useful lives or anticipated future cash flow streams when appropriate.
At least annually the Company tests for possible impairment of all intangible assets and more often whenever events or changes in circumstances, such as a reduction in operating cash flow or a dramatic change in the manner that the asset is
-9-
intended to be used indicate that the carrying amount of the asset is not recoverable. If indicators exist, the Company compares the discounted cash flows related to the asset to the carrying value of the asset. If the carrying value is greater than the discounted cash flow amount, an impairment charge is recorded in the operating expense section in the statement of operations for amounts necessary to reduce the carrying value of the asset to fair value. The Company has chosen the fourth quarter of its fiscal year to conduct its annual impairment test.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under Financial Accounting Standards Number 109 (“SFAS 109”), “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to be reversed. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Due to the nature of the Company’s sponsorship agreements, the Company could be subject to concentration of accounts receivable within a limited number of accounts. The Company has experienced collection delays with one of its significant corporate sponsors. Due to such delays, the Company recognizes revenue under this agreement only to the extent that cash is received for the services performed.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151 “Inventory Costs — an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4”. Statement No. 151 requires that certain abnormal costs associated with the manufacturing, freight, and handling costs associated with inventory be charged to current operations in the period in which they are incurred. The adoption of SFAS 151 had no impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153 “Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets-amendment of APB Opinion No. 29”. Statement 153 eliminates the exception to fair value for exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchange transactions that do not have commercial substance, defined as transactions that are not expected to result in significant changes in the cash flows of the reporting entity. This statement is effective for exchanges of non-monetary assets occurring after June 15, 2005.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment”. SFAS No. 123R is a revision of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation”, and supersedes APB 25. Among other items, SFAS 123R eliminates the use of APB 25 and the intrinsic value method of accounting, and requires companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments, based on the grant date fair value of those awards, in the financial statements. The effective date of SFAS 123R is the first reporting period beginning after June 15, 2005, which is the Company’s fourth quarter 2005, although early adoption is allowed. However, on April 14, 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced that the effective date of SFAS 123R will be suspended until January 1, 2006.
SFAS 123R permits companies to adopt its requirements using either a “modified prospective” method, or a “modified retrospective” method. Under the “modified prospective” method, compensation cost is recognized in the financial statements beginning with the effective date, based on the requirements of SFAS 123R for all share-based payments granted after that date, and based on the requirements of SFAS 123 for all unvested awards granted prior to the effective date of SFAS 123R. Under the “modified retrospective” method, the requirements are the same as under the “modified prospective” method, but also permits entities to restate financial statements of previous periods based on proforma disclosures made in accordance with SFAS 123.
The Company currently utilizes a standard option pricing model (i.e., Black- Scholes) to measure the fair value of stock options granted to Employees. While SFAS 123R permits entities to continue to use such a model, the standard also permits the use of a “lattice” model. The Company has not yet determined which model it will use to measure the fair value of employee stock options upon the adoption of SFAS 123R.
SFAS 123R also requires that the benefits associated with the tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as required under current literature. This requirement will reduce net operating cash flows and increase net financing cash flows in periods after the effective date. These future amounts cannot be estimated because they depend on, among other things, when employees exercise stock options.
The Company currently expects to adopt SFAS 123R effective January 1, 2006, based on the new effective date announced by the SEC; however, the Company has not yet determined which of the aforementioned adoption methods it will use. In addition, the Company has not yet determined the financial statement impact of adopting SFAS 123R for periods beyond 2005.

Effective November 30, 2004, the Company, entered into and consummated a Membership Interests Purchase Agreement by and among UMP, and its members, National Speedways of Iowa, Inc., Track Enterprises, Inc., Ken Schrader Racing, Inc., and Lebanon Valley Auto Racing Corp. (the “ UMP Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the outstanding membership interests in UMP, in exchange for an aggregate purchase price of $2,400,000, of which, $200,000 was previously paid under the terms of a letter of intent among the parties, $1,600,000 was paid in cash at closing, and the remaining $600,000 was satisfied through the issuance of 164,384 shares of the Company’s common stock. In addition, at closing the Company issued to certain members of UMP warrants to purchase an aggregate of 40,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for $3.65 per share. These warrants were valued at an aggregate amount of $132,187 based on Black-Scholes modeling and the fair market value of the warrants at the time of issuance.
UMP is a dirt track race sanctioning body, and as such, sanctions races for both late model and open wheel modified cars. UMP assets include its agreements with drivers competing in its races, and sponsorship agreements with racing event sponsors. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, if the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the ten-trading days immediately preceding the one-year anniversary of the date of the closing of the acquisition (the “Average Anniversary Price”) is less than $3.65 per share, then the Company shall, at its sole election, either (a) issue additional shares of its common stock equal to the difference between: (i) $600,000 divided by the Average Anniversary Price, less (ii) 164,384, or (b) purchase, at a purchase price of $3.65 a share, the Shares.
The UMP acquisition amount was allocated as follows based on the preliminary determination of fair values:
| | | | |

-12-
As part of the UMP acquisition, the Company acquired the contractual rights to the NVE Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“NVE”) sponsorship agreement (the “NVE Agreement”). The NVE Agreement commenced in 2004 and was amended in 2005. Future sponsorship commitments under the NVE Agreement by year are as follows:
| | | | |
| | Sponsorship |
Year | | Commitment |
2005 | | $ | 750,000 | |
2006 | | | 950,000 | |
| | | | |
| | | | |
Total | | $ | 1,700,000 | |
| | | | |
In addition, sponsorship revenues will include 10% of gross revenues for sales of NVE products sold at tracks and additional retail outlets established by the Company.
The Company began to experience collection delays in amounts due from NVE during the quarter ended June 30, 2005. Additionally, future collections under the agreement are uncertain and as such the Company has determined that amounts initially allocated to contract rights have been impaired. The impairment was recorded in the financial statements as of and for the period ended June 30, 2005.
The NVE Agreement contains various performance criteria on the part of the Company for which the failure to comply would result in the termination of the NVE Agreement. During 2004, NVE paid $990,000 in sponsorship fees to the Extreme Dirt Car, Inc., under the NVE Agreement.
UMP also had sponsorship agreements in place with a tire company, which call for payments of sponsorship fees based solely on the number of tires sold at each of the Company’s races. During the year ended November 30, 2004, UMP received $532,417 in sponsorship revenues from this tire company. These tire sponsorship agreements expire in 2007.

Volusia Speedway
On June 30, 2005, the Company, through Volusia Operations, LLC, a newly formed Florida wholly-owned subsidiary (“Volusia Operations”), acquired substantially all of the assets of Volusia Speedway, in exchange for an aggregate purchase price of $3,600,000, of which $1,600,000 was paid in cash, and the balance was paid by delivery of a five-year promissory note issued by Volusia Operations (the “Volusia Note”).

The Volusia Note is secured by a mortgage on the real property, and security agreement covering the other assets acquired from Volusia Speedway. Payments under the Volusia Note are also guaranteed by the Company.
The Volusia Speedway acquisition amount was allocated based on the preliminary estimated fair value as follows:

NOTE 6 – PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment consisted of the following at June 30, 2005:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Cost | | Depreciable Life |
Land | | | 6,773,818 | | | | N/A | |
Transportation equipment | | | 1,306,012 | | | 5-7 years |
Buildings and grandstands | | | 3,002,615 | | | 7-40 years |

| | | | | | | | |
Property and equipment, net | | $ | 10,878,007 | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | |
Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis. Depreciation expense for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2005 was $142,000 and $253,000, respectively. Depreciation expense for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2004 was $20,000 and $39,000, respectively.

NOTE 7 – GOODWILL
Goodwill included in the financial statements as of June 30, 2005 is as follows:
| | | | |
Goodwill incurred in connection with World of Outlaws acquisition | | $ | 4,945,058 | |
Goodwill incurred in connection with the DIRT acquisition | | | 2,536,700 | |
Goodwill incurred in connection with the UMP acquisition | | | 3,056,330 | |
Goodwill incurred in connection with the MARS acquisition | | | 148,000 | |
Goodwill incurred in connection with the Lernerville acquisition | | | 559,449 | |
Less impairment of goodwill associated with the World of Out laws acquisition | | | (2,954,978 | ) |
| | | | |
| | | | |
Net goodwill at June 30, 2005 | | | 8,290,559 | |
| | | | |
Total net goodwill and intangibles | | $ | 8,290,559 | |
| | | | |
As discussed in Note 4, the Company conducts an annual impairment test as required by SFAS No. 142. Under SFAS 142, goodwill impairment is deemed to exist if the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value. In calculating the impairment charge, the fair values of the reporting units were estimated using the expected present value of future cash flows from those units. The World of Outlaws acquisition and the DIRT acquisition were treated as separate reporting units for purposes of making these impairment calculations. As of September 30, 2004, the World of Outlaws goodwill was determined to be impaired by $2,954,978.
Due to the extended amount of time needed to complete additional acquisitions, the World of Outlaws reporting unit’s operating profit and cash flows were lower than expected in the year ended September 30, 2004. Based on these factors the revenue forecasts for World of Outlaws were reduced resulting in the impairment of the goodwill.
NOTE 8 – ACCRUED LIABILITIES
Accrued liabilities at June 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004 consisted of the following:

NOTE 10 – NOTES PAYABLE
On July 30, 2004, the Company entered into an agreement with Boundless Investments, LLC (“Boundless Investments”) to refinance an existing $2,000,000 promissory note issued by the Company to Boundless Investments on May 19, 2004 (the “Boundless Investments Note”). Terms of this refinancing reduced the interest rate on the Boundless Investments Note from 12% to 8%, eliminated the collateral requirement, and eliminated the requirement for certain shareholders guarantees.
-15-
As part of such agreement, certain shareholders delivered to Boundless Investments, 4,000,000 shares of their personal restricted common stock of the Company. Boundless Investments then returned these 4,000,000 shares of common stock to the Company in exchange for warrants to buy 4,000,000 shares of the Company common stock at an exercise price of $0.001 per share. Boundless Investments then sold these warrants to an unrelated third party for $800,000, or $0.20 per share.
In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Pronouncement 96-19, $800,000 was charged to current operations as a debt extinguishment expense.
In connection with the Company’s financing in February 2005 (see NOTE 11) (the “Series B Financing”), the Company entered into an exchange letter agreement with Boundless Investments, pursuant to which the Company converted approximately $1,045,000 of the Boundless Investments Note into 425.786 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Series A Warrants to purchase 340,629 shares of common stock. The Boundless Investments Note provided for conversion into shares of Series A Preferred Stock with a value equal to 110% of the principal of and accrued interest thereon. The increased conversion preference of $102,955 was recorded as additional interest expense for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2005. The Boundless Investments Note was subsequently amended to reflect the unconverted principal balance of $1,000,000 and the option of the holder to convert the principal of and interest on the Boundless Investments Note into Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (“Series B Preferred Stock”).
Notes payable at June 30, 2005 consisted of the following:
$1,000,000 principal amount of the Boundless Investments Note. The Boundless Investments note bears interest at 8% per annum, payable quarterly, and matures on May 19, 2007. Boundless Investments has the option to convert the outstanding principal plus accrued interest into shares of Series B Preferred Stock at a conversion ratio equal to 110% of the outstanding principal and interest at the conversion date. The Company incurred initial loan acquisition fees of $201,765. These fees were amortized to interest expense in 2004 and into 2005. Amortization was complete as of March 31, 2005. The initial proceeds of $2.0 million from the issuance of the Boundless Investments Note, the beneficial conversion ratio effective six months after the conversion date, and the warrants associated with the beneficial conversion rights were allocated to each instrument based on their fair values. The sum of the relative fair value of the beneficial conversion ratio and the warrants associated with the beneficial conversion rights was determined to be in excess of the total proceeds received by the Company; therefore, the entire amount of proceeds was considered non-cash discount. The debt discount was amortized as interest expense over the period from the date of issuance to the date of earliest conversion, six months from the date of issuance. The debt discount was recorded at the date of issuance and the amortization of the debt discount in the amount of $1,300,000 was included in the determination of net loss as interest expense in the nine months ended June 30, 2005. Amortization was complete as of March 31, 2005.

A $3.4 million value for these warrants was determined based on the Black-Scholes fair value method and is recorded as a non-cash debt discount at June 30, 2005. The debt discount was recorded at the date of issuance and the fees and warrant value will be amortized as interest expense over the three-month term of the notes payable.

In addition, at closing the Company issued to certain members of UMP warrants to purchase an aggregate of 40,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for $3.65 per share. These warrants were valued at an aggregate amount of $132,187 based on Black-Scholes modeling and the fair market value of the warrants at the time of issuance.
UMP is a dirt track race sanctioning body, and as such, sanctions races for both late model and open wheel modified cars. UMP assets include its agreements with drivers competing in its races, and sponsorship agreements with racing event sponsors. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, if the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the ten-trading days immediately preceding the one-year anniversary of the date of the closing of the acquisition (the “Average Anniversary Price”) is less than $3.65 per share, then the Company shall, at its sole election, either (a) issue additional shares of its common stock equal to the difference between: (i) $600,000 divided by the Average Anniversary Price, less (ii) 164,384, or (b) purchase, at a purchase price of $3.65 a share, the Shares.
The UMP acquisition amount was allocated as follows based on the preliminary determination of fair values:
| | | | |
Cash paid for acquisition | | $ | 1,800,000 | |
Value of stock issued | | | 600,000 | |
Value of warrants issued | | | 132,187 | |

| | $ | 3,455,830 | |
| | | | |
As part of the UMP acquisition, the Company acquired the contractual rights to the NVE Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“NVE”) sponsorship agreement (the “NVE Agreement”). The NVE Agreement commenced in 2004 and was amended in 2005. Future sponsorship commitments under the NVE Agreement by year are as follows:
| | | | |
| | Sponsorship |
Year | | Commitment |
2005 | | $ | 750,000 | |
2006 | | | 950,000 | |
| | | | |
| | | | |
Total | | $ | 1,700,000 | |
| | | | |
In addition, sponsorship revenues will include 10% of gross revenues for sales of NVE products sold at tracks and additional retail outlets established by the Company.
The Company began to experience collection delays in amounts due from NVE during the quarter ended June 30, 2005. Additionally, future collections under the agreement are uncertain and as such the Company has determined that amounts initially allocated to contract rights have been impaired. The impairment was recorded in the financial statements as of and for the period ended June 30, 2005.
The NVE Agreement contains various performance criteria on the part of the Company for which the failure to comply would result in the termination of the NVE Agreement. During 2004, NVE paid $990,000 in sponsorship fees to the Extreme Dirt Car, Inc., under the NVE Agreement.
UMP also had sponsorship agreements in place with a tire company, which call for payments of sponsorship fees based solely on the number of tires sold at each of the Company’s races. During the year ended November 30, 2004, UMP received $532,417 in sponsorship revenues from this tire company. These tire sponsorship agreements expire in 2007.

Results of Operations – Impact of Seasonality and Weather on Quarterly Results
In 2005, we plan to conduct 98 World of Outlaw Sprint Series races, 48 World of Outlaw Stacker 2 Late Model Series Races, 28 Advance Auto Parts Big Block Modified Events, and over 200 other major racing events in our other regional and touring racing series. Most of these events are scheduled in the period from March to November each year. As a result, our business has been, and is expected to remain, highly seasonal.
The concentration of racing events in any particular quarter, and the growth in our operations with attendant increases in overhead expenses, may tend to reduce operating income in quarters outside of our peak operating months. Our racing schedules from year to year may change from time to time which can lessen the comparability of operating results between quarters of successive years and increase or decrease the seasonal nature of our motorsports business. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2005 are not indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year because of such seasonality.
We market and promote outdoor motorsports events. Weather conditions surrounding these events affect the completion of scheduled racing, the sale of tickets and the sale of merchandise and concessions. Poor weather conditions can have a negative effect on our results of operations. Additionally, our owned and operated tracks are currently primarily geographically concentrated in New York, Pennsylvania and Florida and adverse weather conditions in these regions could have a greater negative effect on our results of operations.
Results of Operations – Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2005 (“2005”) and 2004 (“2004”)
The overall increase in our revenues and expenses from 2004 to 2005 is due to our emerging from development stage and the commencement of operations on February 4, 2004. At June 30, 2004 we had 22 employees and at June 30, 2005 we had 62 employees.
Revenues– Our total revenues increased from $1 million in 2004 to $4.2 million in 2005.
Race sanctioning and event fees revenues increased from $700,000 in 2004 to $2.6 million in 2005. This increase is due primarily to an increase in the number of events that we co-promoted during the period and is expected to increase in the coming quarters as our scheduled races increase. The increase was also due in part to an increase in the number of scheduled events in our primary touring series and an increase in the sanctioning fees and drivers purse monies collected for each event in 2005 as compared to 2004; The increase in the number of events and increased sales per event resulted in increased merchandise, race equipment sales and other revenues. Our sponsorship and advertising revenues increased from $28,600 in 2004 to $453,000 in 2005. This increase is due in part to our NVE Agreements and other sponsorship agreements including tire and fuel agreements.
Operating expenses– Our total operating expenses increased from $1.8 million in 2004 to $6.8 million in 2005.
Track and event operations — Our track and event operations expenses include purses and other attendance fees paid to our drivers, personnel costs and other operating costs for the organization of our events and the operation of our tracks. Track and event operations expense increased from $1.1 million in 2004 to $4.6 million in 2005. During 2005 we incurred $2.4 million in fees paid to drivers as purse/prizes or attendance fees, and we incurred $442,000 for the accumulation of the year-end 2005 drivers’ points funds.
Sales and marketing – Sales and marketing expenses includes expenses incurred by our sales, marketing and public relations departments. The expenses are primarily personnel related to the pursuit of corporate and event sponsors along with professional fees and printing for our advertising publications and fulfillment under our sponsorship agreements. Sales and marketing expense increased from $8,800 in 2004 to $580,000 in 2005. Sales and marketing expense in 2005 includes $200,000 of amortization and impairment expenses recorded in connection with our contract with NVE.
Merchandise operations and cost of sales – Merchandise operations and cost of sales includes all operating expenses related to the distribution of our merchandise which includes mobile store fronts that are present at each major touring series event and the cost of goods sold during the period. Merchandise operations and cost of sales increased from $131,600 in 2004 to $223,400 in 2005. Increases in these expenses correspond with the increased number of events and merchandise sales.
-24-
General and administrative – Our general and administrative expenses increased from $535,000 in 2004 to $1,152,000. This increase is due to the addition of administrative staff and increased professional fees during the period. Additionally, general and administration expense in 2005 includes $0.4 million in costs and expense associated with the closing of our Colorado office and termination of certain employees as of June 30, 2005.
Depreciation and amortization – Depreciation and amortization expense increased from $20,500 in 2004 to $196,000 in 2005 due to an increase in assets as a result of the acquisitions described herein.
Interest expense, net – Interest expense decreased from $155,500 in 2004 to $120,000 in 2005 due to the higher notes payable balance accruing interest for the full period in 2004.
Results of Operations – Comparison of Nine Months Ended June 30, 2005 (“2005”) and 2004 (“2004)
The overall increase in our revenues and expenses from 2004 to 2005 is due to our emerging from development stage and the commencement of operations on February 4, 2004. At June 30, 2004 we had 22 employees and at June 30, 2005 we had 62 employees.
Revenues– Our total revenues increased from $1.3 million in 2004 to $7.3 million in 2005.
Race sanctioning and event fees revenue increased from $890,000 in 2004 to $3.6 million in 2005. This increase is due primarily to an increase in the number of events that we co-promoted during the period and is expected to increase in the coming quarters as the number of scheduled races increases. The increase was due in part to an increase in the number of scheduled events in our primary touring series and an increase in the sanctioning fees and drivers purse monies collected for each event in 2005 as compared to 2004. The increase in the number of events and increased sales per event resulted in increased merchandise and race equipment sales and other revenues. During 2005 we generated $1,891,000 in admission fees and ticket sales. We expect these revenues to increase in the coming quarters as racing begins at the recently acquired Volusia track. Since the Company began to acquire tracks during the same period in 2004, no admission fees and ticket sales were recorded for this period. Our sponsorship and advertising revenues increased from $49,000 in 2004 to $924,000 in 2005. This increase is due to our sponsorship agreement with NVE Pharmaceuticals, Inc., our tire and fuel sponsorship agreements and sponsorship revenues associated with our Super Dirt Week event in October 2004.

Sales and marketing expense in 2005 includes $200,000 of amortization and impairment expenses recorded in connection with our contract with NVE.
Merchandise operations and cost of sales – Merchandise operations and cost of sales includes all operating expenses related to the distribution of our merchandise which includes mobile store fronts that are present at each major touring series event and the cost of goods sold during the period. Merchandise operations and cost of sales increased from $216,000 in 2004 to $535,000 in 2005. Increases in these expenses correspond with the increased number of events and merchandise sales.
General and administrative – Our general and administrative expenses increased from $1.1 million in 2004 to $2.5 million in 2005. This increase is due to the addition of administrative staff and increased professional fees during the period. Additionally, general and administration expenses in 2005 includes $0.4 million in costs and expense associated with the closing of our Colorado office and termination of certain employees as of June 30, 2005.
Depreciation and amortization – Depreciation and amortization expense increased from $39,000 in 2004 to $310,000 in 2005 due to an increase in assets as a result of the acquisitions described herein.
Interest expense, net – Interest expense increased from $225,600 in 2004 to $1,588,000 in 2005 due mainly to the non-cash amortization of the discount recorded in connection with the beneficial conversion rights in the $2 million note payable issued in 2004. The discount was fully amortized at March 31, 2005 and interest expense in the current and future quarters will represent the interest on the Company’s notes payable.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At June 30, 2005, the Company’s had negative working capital of $2.3 million. The Company generated $4.2 million in revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2005; however, we have not yet achieved a profitable level of operations.
-25-
Our primary source of funding for acquisitions and operating deficits during the nine months ended June 30, 2005 has been from issuance of preferred stock and notes payable.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2005, the Company used $6.3 million in operating activities primarily the result of a net loss of $7.2 million and a net use of cash of $0.9 million in working capital changes, which was partially offset by non-cash interest of $1.5 million and depreciation of $0.3 million.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2005, the Company used $6.8 million in investing activities primarily in connection with the acquisition of UMP, MARS, LSI and Volusia Speedway.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2005, financing activities provided $4.6 million, primarily through the issuance of $5.0 million of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock reduced by placement agent fees and other issuance costs of $0.5 million. Additionally, the Company issued $7.0 million in notes payable offset by repayments or exchanges on $1.1 million in notes payable.
The Company incurred a net loss of $2.7 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2005 and $7.2 million for the nine month period ended June 30, 2005. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $21.6 million and negative working capital of $2.3 million as of June 30, 2005, which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The future success of the Company is dependent on its ability to attain profitable operations and upon its ability to obtain additional capital if necessary. There can be no assurance that the Company will attain positive cash flows from operations or be successful in obtaining such financing. As the future success of the Company is dependent on our ability to fund operations, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is at a high degree of risk.
We anticipate raising funds through additional private placements of preferred stock and additional sources of long-term financing. We believe the Company’s operations and sponsorship revenues will also provide additional cash flows as the Company progresses toward attaining increased profitability through operations.
The following table summarizes our contractual obligations as of June 30, 2005:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Payment Due by Period |
| | | | | | Less than | | 2 to 3 | | 4 to 5 | | After 5 |
Contractual obligations | | Total | | 1 Year | | Years | | Years | | Years |
Operating leases | | $ | 50,580 | | | $ | 28,580 | | | $ | 22,000 | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | |

Operating lease expense for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2005 was $9,448 and $29,012, respectively. Operating lease expense for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2004 was $2,632 and $10,528, respectively.
The Company’s significant accounting policies include:
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in prior periods presented have been reclassified to conform to the current financial statement presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported net income or loss.
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 amount of assets and liabilities and disclosures 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.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Dirt Motor Sports, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
-26-
Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue
The Company classifies its revenues as race sanctioning and event fees, admission fees and ticket sales, sponsorship and advertising, merchandise sales and other revenue. “Race sanctioning and event fees” includes amounts received from track owners and promoters for the organization and/or delivery of our racing series or touring shows including driver fees and purses received. “Admission fees and ticket sales” includes ticket sales for all events held at the Company’s owned or leased facilities and ticket sales for our touring shows where we rent tracks for individual events and organize, promote and deliver our racing programs. “Sponsorship and advertising” revenue includes fees obtained for the right to sponsor our motorsports events, series or publications and for advertising in our printed publications or television programming.
The Company recognizes race sanctioning and event fees upon the successful completion of a scheduled race or event. Race sanction and event fees collected prior to a scheduled race event are deferred and recognized when earned upon the occurrence of the scheduled race or event. Admission fees and ticket sales are recognized as revenues on the day of the event. Income from memberships to our sanctioning bodies is recognized on a prorated basis over the term of the membership. The Company recognizes revenue from sponsorship and advertising agreements when earned in the applicable racing season as set forth in the sponsorship or advertising agreement either upon completion of events or publication of the advertising. Revenue from merchandise sales are recognized at the time of sale less estimated returns and allowances, if any. Revenues and related expenses from barter transactions in which the Company receives goods or services in exchange for sponsorships of motorsports events are recorded at fair value in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 99-17,Accounting for Advertising Barter Transactions. Barter transactions accounted for $37,000 and $62,000 of total revenues for the respective three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2005. There were no barter transactions recorded as revenues for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2004.
Expense Recognition and Deferral
Certain direct expenses pertaining to specific events, including prize and point fund monies, advertising and other expenses associated with the promotion of our racing events are deferred until the event is held, at which point they are expensed. Annual points fund monies which are paid at the end of the racing season are accrued during the racing season based upon the races held and total races scheduled.
The cost of non-event related advertising, promotion and marketing programs are expensed as incurred.
Net loss Per Share
Basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) are calculated in accordance with FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share. For the three months ended June 30, 2005, the net loss per share applicable to common stock has been computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
For the three months ended June 30, 2005 the Company had the following warrants outstanding:
| • | | Series A warrants to purchase 4,172,925 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 |
|
| • | | Series B warrants to purchase 933,334 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $4.00 |
|
| • | | Series C warrants to purchase 2,200,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 |
|
| • | | Placement Agent Warrants to purchase 1,186, 266 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $2.70 to $5.00 |
|
| • | | Warrants to purchase 40,000 shares of common stock issued in connection with the UMP acquisition at an exercise price of $3.65 |
In addition, as of June 30, 2005, the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock was convertible into 6,882,819 shares of common stock and the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock was convertible into 2,500,000 shares of common stock. None of these were included in the computation of diluted EPS because the Company had a net loss and all potential issuance of common stock would have been anti-dilutive.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
-27-
Inventories
Inventories of retail merchandise are stated at the lower of cost or market on the first in, first out method. Shipping, handling and freight costs related to merchandise inventories are charged to cost of merchandise.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided for financial reporting purposes using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets ranging from 3 to 40 years. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are expensed as incurred; major renewals and betterments are capitalized. At the time depreciable assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and the accumulated depreciation of the assets are eliminated from the accounts and any profit or loss is recognized.
The carrying values of property and equipment are evaluated for impairment based upon expected future undiscounted cash flows. If events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable, an impairment loss would be recognized equal to the difference between the carrying value of the asset and its fair value. As of June 30, 2005, the Company believes there is no impairment of property and equipment.
Purchase Accounting
The Company accounted for its acquisitions of assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (“SFAS No. 141”), Business Combinations and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Intangible Assets (“SFAS No. 142”). SFAS no. 141 requires that all business combinations entered into subsequent to June 30, 2001 be accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and that certain acquired intangible assets in a business combination be recognized and reported as assets apart from goodwill.
Intangible Assets
Upon its inception, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” Under SFAS No. 142 goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not to be amortized but are tested for impairment at least annually. Intangible assets with definite useful lives are to be amortized over the respective estimated useful lives or anticipated future cash flow streams when appropriate.
At least annually the Company tests for possible impairment of all intangible assets and more often whenever events or changes in circumstances, such as a reduction in operating cash flow or a dramatic change in the manner that the asset is intended to be used indicate that the carrying amount of the asset is not recoverable. If indicators exist, the Company compares the discounted cash flows related to the asset to the carrying value of the asset. If the carrying value is greater than the discounted cash flow amount, an impairment charge is recorded in the operating expense section in the statement of operations for amounts necessary to reduce the carrying value of the asset to fair value. The Company has chosen the fourth quarter of its fiscal year to conduct its annual impairment test.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under Financial Accounting Standards Number 109 (“SFAS 109”), “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to be reversed. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Due to the nature of the Company’s sponsorship agreements, the Company could be subject to concentration of accounts receivable within a limited number of accounts. The Company has experienced collection delays with one of its significant corporate sponsors. Due to such delays, the Company recognizes revenue under this agreement only to the extent that cash is received for the services performed.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151 “Inventory Costs — an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4”. Statement No. 151 requires that certain abnormal costs associated with the manufacturing, freight, and handling costs associated with inventory be charged to current operations in the period in which they are incurred. The adoption of SFAS 151 had no impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153 “Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets-amendment of APB Opinion No. 29”. Statement 153 eliminates the exception to fair value for exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchange transactions that do not have commercial substance, defined as transactions that are not expected to result in significant changes in the cash flows of the reporting entity. This statement is effective for exchanges of non-monetary assets occurring after June 15, 2005.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment”. SFAS No. 123R is a revision of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation”, and supersedes APB 25. Among other items, SFAS 123R eliminates the use of APB 25 and the intrinsic value method of accounting, and requires companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments, based on the grant date fair value of those awards, in the financial statements. The effective date of SFAS 123R is the first reporting period beginning after June 15, 2005, which is the Company’s fourth quarter 2005, although early adoption is allowed. However, on April 14, 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced that the effective date of SFAS 123R will be suspended until January 1, 2006.
SFAS 123R permits companies to adopt its requirements using either a “modified prospective” method, or a “modified retrospective” method. Under the “modified prospective” method, compensation cost is recognized in the financial statements beginning with the effective date, based on the requirements of SFAS 123R for all share-based payments granted after that date, and based on the requirements of SFAS 123 for all unvested awards granted prior to the effective date of SFAS 123R. Under the “modified retrospective” method, the requirements are the same as under the “modified prospective” method, but also permits entities to restate financial statements of previous periods based on proforma disclosures made in accordance with SFAS 123.
The Company currently utilizes a standard option pricing model (i.e., Black- Scholes) to measure the fair value of stock options granted to Employees. While SFAS 123R permits entities to continue to use such a model, the standard also permits the use of a “lattice” model. The Company has not yet determined which model it will use to measure the fair value of employee stock options upon the adoption of SFAS 123R.
SFAS 123R also requires that the benefits associated with the tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as required under current literature. This requirement will reduce net operating cash flows and increase net financing cash flows in periods after the effective date. These future amounts cannot be estimated because they depend on, among other things, when employees exercise stock options.
The Company currently expects to adopt SFAS 123R effective January 1, 2006, based on the new effective date announced by the SEC; however, the Company has not yet determined which of the aforementioned adoption methods it will use. In addition, the Company has not yet determined the financial statement impact of adopting SFAS 123R for periods beyond 2005.
ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s principal financial officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rule 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) as of the date of the financial statements included in this report on Form 10-QSB, have concluded that as of the evaluation date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are adequate and effective to ensure that material information relating to the Company (including consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in our periodic SEC filings would be made known to them by others within those entities.
There have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures subsequent to the evaluation date, nor any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in such disclosure controls and procedures requiring corrective actions. As a result, no corrective actions were taken.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company has filed suit against a previous owner regarding issues involving the 2004 acquisition of DIRT. The outcome is uncertain. No counterclaims have been made at this time.
Additionally, the Company has filed suit against several former employees and a formerly leased track regarding issues surrounding the lease of said track. The outcome is uncertain. One of the parties has filed a counterclaim which we believe is without merit.
We are from time to time involved in various legal proceedings incidental to the conduct of our business. We believe that the outcome of all such pending legal proceedings will not in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
