PART I
Item 1. 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 7 dirt motorsports tracks (4 are owned and 3 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 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 quarter ended December 31, 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 November 7, 2004, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement to acquire substantially all of the assets of Lernerville Speedway, Inc. (“LSI”).
On December 5, 2004, the Company acquired all of the outstanding membership interest in United Midwestern Promoters Motorsports, LLC (“UMP”).
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”).
On June 30, 2005, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Volusia Speedway Park, Inc., (“Volusia Speedway”).
We are continuing to focus our efforts as a dirt track style racing and sports entertainment company that seeks to acquire and operate motor sports sanctioning bodies and venues.
As of March 20, 2006, the Company has eighty-one (81) full-time employees.
The Company elected to change its year end from September 30 to December 31. Accordingly, the Company’s financial statements have been prepared for the three months ended December 31, 2005, and going forward will be prepared for a calendar year. In view of this change, this Form 10-KSB is a transition report and includes financial information for the three month transition period ending December 31, 2005 and the three month period ended December 31, 2004.

Motor Sports Industry
Motor sports are among the most popular and fastest-growing spectator sports in the United States, with annual attendance at all U.S. motor sports events exceeding 20 million people. The Company believes that the impetus for growth in this industry has been the growing popularity of NASCAR, due to increased broadcast network television exposure.
The motor sports racing industry consists of several distinct categories of auto racing, each with its own organizing body (sanctioning body), with corresponding sanctioned events. Sanctioning bodies are responsible for all aspects of race management required to conduct a racing event, including: regulating racing, drivers, safety and teams, providing officials to ensure fair competition, and administering the race and series purses and other prize payments. Sanctioning bodies typically derive revenues from merchandising, race sponsorships, television distribution, and membership fees. During the 2004 racing season, approximately $2.0 billion was spent on corporate sponsorships in the motor sports industry, according to IEG Sponsorship Report, Chicago.
Of the sanctioning bodies in the United States, NASCAR, IRL, NHRA, and Grand Am are among the more well known. The largest auto-racing category in the United States, in terms of media exposure and sponsorships, is stock car racing, conducted by the National Association of Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR). Until roughly ten years ago, NASCAR events and viewership were predominately confined to the southeastern part of the US. Today, NASCAR races are held, and viewers hail from, all over the world.
Motor sport events are generally heavily promoted, with a number of supporting events surrounding each main race event. Examples of supporting events include: secondary races, qualifying time trials, practice sessions, driver autograph sessions, automobiles and product expositions, catered parties, and other racing related events designed to maximize the spectator’s overall entertainment experience and enhance value to sponsors.
Dirt-Track Racing
The dirt-track style of auto racing is considered one of the more affordable, grass roots family entertainment forms of motor sport racing, especially among motor sport enthusiasts. Many of the dirt oval tracks in operation in the United States today have their roots at county or state fairgrounds and dirt track racing has historically been the highlight at these state and county fairs. Historically, these types of races were promoted locally. Many of the promoters of dirt-track style racing saw large profits made in this form of racing, and in turn, built their own tracks and began promoting races on a more regional basis.
Today, there are over 800 dirt racing tracks in the United States and in excess of 25,000 drivers who actively race on dirt tracks. There are numerous sanctioning bodies for this type of racing, and races are generally classified according to car types, including: modified, super modified, sportsman, late models and sprint cars. Among dirt-track style racing sanction bodies, World of Outlaws and DIRT MotorSports are the best known. Currently the sponsorship for dirt track racing consists primarily of regional sponsors.
General Business Plan
Our general business plan is to acquire and operate motor sports sanctioning bodies and venues and seek to “nationalize” dirt-track style motor racing. We believe that much of the current success of motor sport racing is due to the efforts of NASCAR in consolidating, marketing and promoting its stock car races, and our current strategy is to utilize this model for dirt-track style racing. Under this business model, we anticipate revenues from the primary sources that typically generate revenue for motors sport sanctioning bodies: (1) sanctioning fees; (2) merchandise sales and licensing fees; (3) sponsorships; (4) television and electronic media distribution rights; (5) membership fees; and (6) event ticket sales.
Sanctioning Fees
Race sanctioning bodies sanction racing events at various venues in exchange for fees from track operators and race promoters. Because a sanctioned racing event typically draws greater fan attendance, track operators and racing promoters will generally seek to have their event sanctioned. Our sanctioning fees for our touring series range from $2,500 to $50,000 per event depending on several variables, including: size of race, race venue, revenue sharing with the track owner or promoter, race purses and other prizes.
Merchandise Sales and Licensing Fees
The growing popularity of motor sports events, has resulted in substantial revenue growth for officially licensed racing-related merchandise. For example, retail sales of apparel, souvenirs, collectibles, and other merchandise licensed by NASCAR drivers, teams, and track operators/promoters has climbed to approximately $2.1 billion in 2004 from approximately $800 million in 1990. Following the NASCAR business model, we believe that there is a substantial merchandising revenue potential for our dirt-track style race sanctioning bodies.
4
Sponsorships
Drawn to the sport by the attractive economics and strong brand loyalty of the fans, sponsors are very active in all aspects of auto racing. Sponsors directly support both racing teams, through the funding of certain costs of their operations, and sanctioning bodies for the use of official trademarks and logos, and also actively seek advertising exposure through television and radio coverage, newspapers, race programs, brochures, and advertising at the track on the day of the race. In addition, sponsors also support track operators by paying fees associated with the naming of events and at premier racing events such as the Daytona 500, it is not uncommon to have multiple official corporate sponsors. During the 2004 racing season, approximately $2.0 billion was spent on corporate sponsorship in the motor sports industry, according to IEG Sponsorship Report, Chicago. Based upon current industry dirt-track operations, we believe that sponsorship revenues will be a significant source of our potential revenues.
Television and Electronic Media Distribution Rights
Increased exposure to sanctioned events generally leads to increased revenues from sponsorships and other forms of advertising in addition to the revenues generated from licensing the broadcast and distribution rights for the events. Thus, we believe that to obtain the greatest exposure for its events and the highest value in sponsorship rights, the Company must promote its sanctioned events though television and other electronic media distribution. To this end, we will seek broadcast and media distribution partners. We expect to model these efforts after NASCAR which saw a twenty-nine percent increase in television viewership in 2002. In 2003, we entered into an agreement with The Outdoor Channel which extends through December 31, 2006. Under this agreement a minimum of 27 one hour tape delayed World of Outlaws Sprint Series race programs per year will be produced at the expense of The Outdoor Channel. In 2005, The Outdoor Channel actually produced 41 programs.
Membership Fees
In order for a motor sport racing team to compete in sanctioned races, the teams must first pay membership fees to the sanctioning body for that race. These fees typically increase with the popularity of race series and serve to pay for costs associated with running a sanctioning body. Our membership fees range from $50 to $100 per individual, depending on several variables, including the ability of the Company to successfully promote the races it sanctions.
Event Ticket Sales
Track owners and promoters make a large portion of their revenues from event ticket sales. The prices charged range from $10 to $100 depending on several variables, including: size of race, race venue, popularity of the drivers, teams and overall racing series. The Company will only receive revenues from event ticket sales at tracks it owns or leases or at events that are co-promoted with a track owner.
Current Activities
Management is currently considering additional acquisitions of tracks and sanctioning bodies to increase the Company’s market share of dirt track racing events and, thereby, improve the Company’s economies of scope and position among competitors. These potential acquisitions range from small, single-track asset purchases to large scale event sanctioning bodies that fit the Company’s business model. Some of these acquisitions will be subject to raising additional equity or debt financing.
DIRT Motorsports New York
DIRT Motorsports New York was founded 34 years ago and is the country’s largest dirt-racing sanctioning body for Big Block Modified, 358 Modified, and Sportsman classes. The sanctioning body’s premier race, the Eckerd 200 held at the New York State Fairgrounds in Syracuse, New York, celebrated its 34th anniversary in October 2005, and drew approximately 50,000 in attendance. Each year, DIRT Motorsports sanctioned races are held at nearly 40 DIRT Motorsports affiliated tracks situated throughout the Northeastern U.S. and Canada.
DIRT Motorsports is also the only dirt-track style race sanctioning body to boast an in-house television production department. This department produces, syndicates and distributes live and taped productions of the DIRT Racing Series and the World of Outlaw Series. This racing series is presently seen on The SPEED Channel and DIRTVision.com™. DIRT Motorsports races are also carried on cyber series coverage with live audio and video on the World Wide Web during every Modified Super DIRT Series race.
World of Outlaws, Inc.
World of Outlaws is an internationally recognized sanctioning body for dirt-track style racing and has been the leading name in Sprint Car Racing for the past 25 years. The early days of Sprint Car racing saw drivers crisscrossing the country in search of the highest paying races they could find. At that time there were no rules governing when, where, or how they raced. Thus they were dubbed the “Outlaws.” Today World of Outlaws sanctioned races give fans some of the most exciting wheel-to-wheel racing on dirt in the world,
5
while emphasizing safety and sportsman-like conduct in pursuit of victory.
Sprint car racing is a uniquely American form of motor sport, spawned during the early 20th century at fairground horse tracks, where it is still popular today. It was once considered a stepping-stone to the Indianapolis 500 before the arrival of rear-engine Indy cars in the early 1960’s; and sprint car racing has maintained its place in the American culture. Unlike other forms of racing, sprint car racing rules are generally uniform across the country.
In 2005, World of Outlaws held 94 sanctioned races at over 50 dirt tracks throughout the United States and three additional races in Australia. Eight of the 94 World of Outlaws races in 2005 were held in connection with NASCAR Nextel Cup weekends or the IRL weekends to capitalize on the popularity of NASCAR and IRL.
Competition
There are more than 280 race sanctioning bodies and special events promoters listed in the National Speedway Directory and motorsports are the fastest-growing major spectator sport in the United States. DIRT faces competition on three levels: (1) other dirt track sanctioning bodies, (2) pavement race sanctioning bodies, and (3) on a more generic scale, other entertainment venues.
The World of Outlaws Late Model Series is one of three national late model touring series. The second is the Xtreme Dirt Car Series which featured 26 races in 16 different states in 2004. We purchased the Xtreme Dirt Car Series as part of the UMP acquisition on December 2, 2004. The Late Model Series also faces competition from smaller regional and local races.
Until late in 2005, the World of Outlaws Sprint Series was the only national sprint car touring series. There are other regional and local races; however, we create our sprint series schedule taking into account competing venues.
The DIRT Modified Series is the largest regional touring series of big block modifieds. Though primarily held in the Northeastern states, the DIRT Modified Series has a national presence due to broadcast coverage on The SPEED Channel. There are no national big block modified touring series.
Our dirt track style racing series also face competition from pavement racing series including NASCAR, IRL, USAC and CART. Dirt track racing is often a training ground for pavement drivers. Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart, Kasey Kahne, Ryan Newman, Kenny Schraeder, and Carl Edwards are among those current NASCAR drivers who began their racing careers on dirt tracks. While there is cross-over between audiences, many fans appreciate the level of passing and action on a dirt track that is not always evident with pavement venues.
Finally, on a third level, our racing series face competition from other entertainment venues during the racing season. The deciding factors among competing venues often include ticket prices, specific driver/team appearances at an event, location and weather conditions.
We believe that the Company has established strong recognizable brands within the dirt track industry. In order to continue to build these brands we will not only focus efforts on sponsorship and broadcast opportunities, but target future fans in order to successfully compete with other motor sports and entertainment venues.
Certain Risks
The Company’s business is subject to numerous risk factors, including the following:
We may not have sufficient capital to successfully affect our business strategy.
We anticipate the need to obtain additional financing to implement our business plan and acquisition strategy. If our capital needs are met through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our shareholders will be reduced. Our success may be determined in a large part by our ability to obtain additional financing, and we can give no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining adequate financing on favorable terms, if at all. The absence of financing will impair our ability to implement our business plan. In all likelihood we will issue additional shares of common stock or securities convertible into such shares in the future. Any such shares issued would further dilute the percentage ownership of our common stock held by our shareholders.
We have a limited operating history. As a result, evaluating our current business model and prospects may be difficult.
We began operations in February 2004 with the acquisition of World of Outlaws. Since then we have completed the acquisition of DIRT, UMP, LSI, MARS and Volusia Speedway. Thus, we have only a limited operating history with which you can evaluate our current business model and our prospects, and our historical financial data may be of limited value in evaluating our future revenue and operating expenses.
6
Speculative nature of our proposed operations.
The success of our plan of operation will depend to a great extent on the operations, financial condition and management of targeted acquisitions and our ability to identify additional business opportunities. If we cannot acquire additional business opportunities, we may not be able to grow our Company. Further, our ability to successfully implement our business plan requires an effective plan for managing our future growth. Future expansion efforts will be capital intensive and may significantly strain our managerial and other resources. To manage future growth effectively, we must maintain and enhance our financial and accounting systems and controls, integrate new personnel and manage expanded operations. If we do not manage growth properly, it could harm our operating results and financial condition.
Our failure to achieve or maintain profitability could force us to cease our operations.
We have not operated at a profit over the course of our brief history, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve or maintain profitability. Our recent acquisitions have resulted in operating losses since inception, and we expect to incur operating losses in future periods. Our ability to attain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon a number of factors, including our ability to increase revenues while reducing costs per racing event. We may not be successful in increasing or maintaining revenues or achieving positive cash flow. Even if we do maintain profitability, we may not be able to sustain or increase our profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. If we fail to maintain profitability, we might ultimately be forced to discontinue our operations.
Impairment of goodwill
Our failure to meet projected revenue and earnings has resulted in the impairment of goodwill incurred in connection with various acquisitions of existing operations. As of December 31, 2005, the Company had $1,508,440 of goodwill net of impairments of $8,812,097. This goodwill which was incurred in connection with the acquisition of the World Of Outlaws, DIRT, UMP, LSI and MARS. Goodwill was impaired by $2,954,978 (all related to World of Outlaws purchase) at September 30, 2004 resulting in a charge against current earnings at September 30, 2004. As of September 30, 2005 the UMP series Goodwill was impaired by $2,218,171. World of Outlaws Goodwill was impaired by an additional $2,027,248. DIRT was impaired by $1,611,700 all resulting in a charge against current earnings at September 30, 2005. There was no additional goodwill impairment recognized in the transition period ended December 31, 2005.
Our success depends in part upon sales of sponsorships to our racing series and racing events.
Our business model depends, in part, on our ability to attract and maintain sponsorships for our racing series and racing events. A sponsor’s willingness to continue their relationship with us is subject to many risks beyond our control, including:
Competition for advertising and promotional dollars; General market and industry conditions that may affect our sponsors; and the introduction and success of competition for new racing events and racing series.
In the event we are not able to attract new sponsors or retain current sponsorships, we could experience revenue shortfalls.
Our executive officers, directors and principal stockholders have substantial influence over us.
As of March 20, 2006, our executive officers, directors and principal stockholders together beneficially own approximately 85% of the outstanding shares of common stock. As a result, these stockholders, acting together, may be able to exercise substantial influence over all matters requiring approval by our stockholders, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. The concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in our control that may be viewed as beneficial by the other stockholders.
In addition, our certificate of incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors. Consequently, our present directors, executive officers, principal stockholders and our respective affiliates may be able to control the election of the members of the Board of Directors. Such a concentration of ownership could have an adverse effect on the price of the common stock, and may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control, including transactions in which stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then current market prices.
Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate significantly.
Our success depends on a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include (1) the attendance at our racing events; (2) capital expenditures and other costs relating to the expansion of operations, (3) changes in our pricing policies and those of our competitors, (4) the number of racing event scheduled during the quarter, (5) weather that may effect attendance or cause us to cancel or postpone our racing events, (6) changes in operating expenses, (7) changes in strategy, (8) personnel changes, (9) the introduction of competitive racing events, (10) the timing and effect of potential acquisitions, and (11) other general economic factors.
7
Our operating results, cash flows and liquidity may fluctuate significantly. Our revenues depend on our ability to hold racing events and attract attendees. Our expense levels are based, in part, on our expectations regarding future revenues, which could be inaccurate. Moreover, our operations often require up-front expenses, but result in trailing revenues. To the extent that revenues are below expectations, we may be unable to reduce expenses proportionately, and operating results, cash flow and liquidity could be negatively affected. Due to these and other factors, our operating results and/or growth rate may be below the expectations of analysts, management and investors. This, in turn, could cause the price of our common stock to drop.
Acquisitions of companies or joint venture investments may disrupt our business or dilute shareholder value.
We may acquire companies or enter into joint ventures. If we are unable to integrate these acquisitions with our existing operations, we may not receive the intended benefits of the acquisitions. Also, acquisitions may subject us to unanticipated liabilities or risks. Any acquisition or joint venture may temporarily disrupt our operations and divert management’s attention from day-to-day operations. If we make future acquisitions, we may incur debt or issue equity securities to finance the acquisitions. The issuance of equity securities for any acquisition could cause our shareholders to suffer significant dilution. Also, our profitability may suffer due to acquisition-related expenses, additional interest expense or amortization costs for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets and operating losses generated by the acquired entity or joint venture. Acquisitions and joint ventures that do not successfully complement our existing operations may harm our business.
Dependence on qualified and key personnel.
We believe our future success will depend in large part upon our ability to identify, attract and retain highly skilled managerial, sales and marketing, finance and operations personnel. Competition for personnel with the type of experience in these areas is intense, and we compete for personnel against numerous companies, including larger, more established companies with significantly greater financial resources. There can be no assurance we will be successful in identifying, attracting and retaining personnel.
Illiquidity of our common stock.
Although there is a public market for our common stock, trading volume has been historically low which substantially increases your risk of loss. We can give no assurance that an active and liquid public market for the shares of the common stock will develop in the future. Low trading volume in our common stock could affect your ability to sell the shares of common stock. The development of a public trading market depends upon not only the existence of willing buyers and sellers, but also on market makers. The market bid and asked prices for the shares may be significantly influenced by decisions of the market makers to buy or sell the shares for their own account, which may be critical for the establishment and maintenance of a liquid public market in the shares. Market makers are not required to maintain a continuous two-sided market and are free to withdraw firm quotations at any time. Additionally, in order to maintain our eligibility for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board, we need to have at least one registered and active market maker. No assurance can be given that any market making activities of any additional market makers will commence or that the activities of current market makers will be continued.
Our common stock price has been volatile, which could result in substantial losses for stockholders.
Our common stock is currently traded on the OTC under the symbol DMSP. We have in the past experienced, and may in the future experience, limited daily trading volume. The trading price of our common stock has been and may continue to be volatile. This volatility often has been unrelated to the operating performance of the Company. These broad market fluctuations may significantly affect the trading price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance. The trading price of our common stock could be affected by a number of factors, including, but not limited to, changes in expectations of our future performance, changes in estimates by securities analysts (or failure to meet such estimates), quarterly fluctuations in our sales and financial results and a variety of risk factors, including the ones described elsewhere in this prospectus. Periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities sometimes result in securities class action litigation. If this were to happen to us, such litigation would be expensive and would divert management’s attention. In addition, if we needed to raise equity funds under adverse conditions, it would be difficult to sell a significant amount of our stock without causing a significant decline in the trading price of our stock.
Our stock price may decline if additional shares are sold in the market.
As of March 20, 2006, we had 11,720,555 shares of common stock outstanding. In addition, as of December 31, 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 and we had warrants exercisable for 12,631,023 shares of common stock outstanding. Future sales of substantial amounts of shares of our common stock by our existing stockholders in the public market, or the perception that these sales could occur, may cause the market price of our common stock to decline. We may be required to issue additional shares upon exercise of previously granted options and warrants that are currently outstanding.
8
Our articles and bylaws may delay or prevent a potential takeover of us.
Our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, and Bylaws, as amended, contain provisions that may have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a potential takeover of us, even if the takeover is in the best interest of our shareholders. The Bylaws limit when shareholders may call a special meeting of shareholders. The Articles also allow the Board of Directors to fill vacancies, including newly-created directorships.
No Dividends.
We have not paid any dividends on our common stock to date, and have no plans to pay any dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future. Further, so long as shares of our Series B and C are outstanding, we may not pay any dividend on our common stock unless we have first paid all accrued and unpaid dividends on the outstanding shares of Series B and C.
We can give no assurance that we will ever pay any dividends in respect of our common stock.

Financial Advisors
In February 2004, for aggregate consideration of $10,000, we sold to Burnham Hill Partners, a division of Pali Capital Inc (“BHP”) and their registered assignees, 500,000 restricted shares of common stock. Such shares have no registration rights and are subject to a lock-up agreement. Since February 2004, BHP has acted as our financial advisor related to capital restructuring, acquisition advisory and raising capital.
In July 2004, we issued to ViewTrade Financial (VTF), 893,000 shares of our common stock in connection with the engagement of VTF as a financial advisor to the Company.
The foregoing shares were issued in private transactions or private placements intending to meet the requirements of one or more exemptions from registration. In addition to any noted exemption below, we relied upon Regulation D and Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). The investors were not solicited through any form of general solicitation or advertising, the transactions being non-public offerings, and the sales were conducted in private transactions where the investor identified an investment intent as to the transaction without a view to an immediate resale of the securities; the shares were “restricted securities” in that they were both legended with reference to Rule 144 as such and the investors identified they were sophisticated as to the investment decision and in most cases we reasonably believed the investors were “accredited investors” as such term is defined under Regulation D based upon statements and information supplied to us in writing and verbally in connection with the transactions. We never utilized an underwriter for an offering of our securities and no sales commissions were paid to any third party in connection with the above-referenced sales. Other than the securities mentioned above, we have not issued or sold any securities.
As of March 20, 2006, there were 11,720,555 shares of our common stock outstanding held by approximately 430 stockholders of record.
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Further, so long as shares of our Series B and C are outstanding, we may not pay any dividend on our common stock unless we have first paid all accrued and unpaid dividends on the outstanding shares of Series B and C.
Item 6. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward Looking Statements
This Form 10-KSB includes certain statements that may be deemed to be “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included in this Form 10-KSB that address activities, events or developments that the Company expects, projects, believes, or anticipates will or may occur in the future, including matters having to do with expected and future revenues, the Company’s ability to fund its operations and repay debt, business strategies, expansion and growth of operations and other such matters, are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by our management in light of its experience and its perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments, and other factors it believes are appropriate in the circumstances. These statements are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties, including general economic and business conditions, the business opportunities (or lack thereof) that may be presented to and pursued by the Company, the Company’s performance on its current contracts and its success in obtaining new contracts, the Company’s ability to attract and retain qualified employees, and other factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. You are cautioned that these forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that actual results or developments may differ materially from those projected in such statements.
The Company was a development stage company until February 4, 2004. Thus, no ongoing operations were conducted and no revenues were generated during the period ended September 30, 2003. Operating expenses incurred were general and administrative expenses associated with maintaining the Company while the aforementioned acquisitions were pursued.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Our business is currently principally in the United States. As a result, our financial results are not affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or economic conditions in foreign markets. We do not engage in hedging transactions to reduce our exposure to changes in currency exchange rates, although if the geographical scope of our business broadens, we may do so in the future.
Our exposure to risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our investments in short-term financial instruments. Investments in both fixed rate and floating rate interest earning instruments carry some interest rate risk. The fair value of fixed rate securities may fall due to a rise in interest rates, while floating rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates fall. Partly as a result of this, our future interest income may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates or we may suffer losses in principal if we are forced to sell securities that have fallen in estimated fair value due to changes in interest rates. However, as substantially all of our cash equivalents consist of bank deposits and short-term money market instruments, we do not expect any material change with respect to our net income as a result of an interest rate change.
Our exposure to interest rate changes related to borrowing has been limited by the use of fixed rate borrowings, and we believe the effect, if any, or reasonably possible near-term changes in interest rates on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows should not be material.
World of Outlaws, Inc.
On February 4, 2004 the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all the assets of World of Outlaws.

In October 2003, the Company made a cash deposit of $1,000,000 and issued 1,558,334 shares of its common stock to the owners of Dirt and two affiliated tracks known as Rolling Wheels Dirt Race Track and Cayuga County Dirt Track towards the acquisition of these properties.

The Company, through a separate wholly-owned subsidiary, had previously entered into an agreement to purchase the FLI assets (the “First Asset Purchase Agreement”), but the previous arrangement was mutually terminated in favor of the Asset Purchase Agreement.
In exchange for the assets and real property acquired, which consisted of the Rolling Wheels motor sports racing track located in Elbridge, New York, the Company paid $1,088,777 to FLI consisting of (a) cash in an aggregate of $1,000,000, and (b) 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share of which 250,000 were paid in October 2003.

Effective August 6, 2004, the Company, through Boundless Racing, consummated the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Dirt, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated August 13, 2003, as amended and extended.

During the year ended September 30, 2005 the Company resolved the contingent purchase amount which ultimately released the Company from any further obligations for the purchase price. As a result the Company reduced its accrued liabilities and goodwill by $925,000 during the year ended September 30, 2005.
On August 31, 2004 the Company consummated the acquisition of the Cayuga County race track. In exchange for the assets and real property acquired, which consisted of the Cayuga County motor sports racing track located in Cayuga County, New York, the Company paid $2,293,333 consisting of (a) cash in of $2,150,000, and (b) 716,667 shares of the Company’s common stock which were previously paid and credited toward the purchase price.

United Midwestern Promoters Motorsports, LLC
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 of 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 UMP 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 the 164,384 shares at a purchase price of $3.65 a share.

| | $ | 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 were to 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 year ended September 30, 2005 and NVE has filed for protection under the bankruptcy laws of New Jersey. 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 statement of operations in the line item “goodwill impairment” for the year ended September 30, 2005.
UMP also had sponsorship agreements in place with a tire company, which called for payments of sponsorship fees based solely on the number of tires sold at each of the Company’s races. UMP received $532,000 and $548,000 in sponsorship revenues from this tire company during the 12 months ended November 30, 2004 and December 31, 2005 respectively. These tire sponsorship agreements expire in 2007.

Results of Operations – Impact of Seasonality and Weather on Results
During the transition period ended December 31, 2005 we conducted 8 World of Outlaw Sprint Series races, 4 World of Outlaw Late Model Series Races, 2 Advance Auto Parts Big Block Modified Events, and over 18 other major racing events in our other regional and touring racing series. Most of our events occur in the period from March to November each year. As a result, our business has been, and is expected to remain, highly seasonal.
17
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 transition period ended December 31, 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 December 31, 2005 (“2005”) and December 31, 2004 (“2004”)
The overall increase in our revenues and expenses from 2004 to 2005 is due to the acquisitions made in late 2004 and during 2005. At December 31, 2004 we had 22 employees and at December 31, 2005 we had 60 employees.
Revenues – Our total revenues increased from $1.8 million in 2004 to $2.0 million in 2005.
Race sanctioning and event fees revenue increased from $221,000 in 2004 to $691,000 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 2006 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 event fees collected for each event in 2005 as compared to 2004. The increase in the number of events and increased sales per event resulted in steady merchandise sales and an increase in race equipment sales and other revenues.
During 2005 we generated $742,000 in admission fees and ticket sales. We expect these revenues to increase in 2006 as racing begins at the recently acquired Volusia track. In 2004, we generated $1,093,000 in admissions revenue. This decrease is due to fewer events held during this transition period at Company owned tracks as compared to last year at this time. This may be due in part to fewer cancellations of scheduled events during the year which would have required rescheduling to the end of the race season to be held during this 3 month period. Our sponsorship and advertising revenues increased from $227,000 in 2004 to $331,000 in 2005. This increase is due to our tire and fuel sponsorship agreements and other sponsorship revenues. Sales of merchandise decreased from $167,000 in 2004 to $163,000 in 2005 due in part by merchandise given away through various promotions.
Operating expenses – Our operating expenses increased from $3.3 million in 2004 to $4.7 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 $1.5 million in 2004 to $2.9 million in 2005 due to an increase in the number of events held. In 2005 and 2004, we incurred $836,000 and $800,000 respectively in fees paid to drivers as purse/prizes or attendance fees. In 2005 and 2004, we incurred expenses of $110,000 and $236,000 respectively 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 $78,000 in 2004 to $287,000 in 2005 due to increases in labor and travel related to the addition of staff for new sales and marketing fulfillment.
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 $75,000 in 2004 to $311,000 in 2005. Increases in these expenses correspond with the increased number of events and merchandise sales. Gross margins (cost of goods sold only, excluding operating expenses) decreased from 54% in 2004 to a negative 91% in 2005 due to merchandise given away through various promotions and increases in labor and travel related to staffing for new merchandise kiosks.
General and administrative – Our general and administrative expenses decreased from $1.6 million in 2004 to $963,000 in 2005 due to the reporting of personnel and other operating costs to track and event operations for those expenses directly related to track and event operations.
Depreciation and amortization – Depreciation and amortization expense increased from $47,000 in 2004 to $244,000 in 2005 due to an increase in assets as a result of the acquisitions described herein.
18
Interest expense, net – Interest expense remained steady at $1.1 million in 2004 and 2005. The non-cash amortization of the discount recorded in connection with the beneficial conversion rights in the $2.0 million note payable issued in 2004 and discount recorded for the value assigned to warrants issued in conjunction with $4.0 million in promissory notes issued on June 30, 2005 accounted for $1.0 million of interest expense during the three month period ending December 31, 2004. The non-cash amortization of the discounts recorded for the value assigned to warrants granted in connection with the $9.1 million in promissory notes issued during the transition period ending December 31, 2005 resulted in $685,000 of interest expense.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At December 31, 2005, the Company had negative working capital of $9.0 million. The Company generated $2.0 million in revenues during the transition period ended December 31, 2005; however, we have not yet achieved a profitable level of operations. Our primary source of funding for acquisitions and operating deficits during the transition period ended December 31, 2005 has been from the issuance of notes payable.
During the transition period ended December 31, 2005, the Company used $4.9 million in operating activities primarily the result of a net loss of $3.8 million, net prepayments of marketing expenses of $0.5 million, net payments of accrued liabilities of $1.7 million and reduction of deferred revenue by $0.7 million.
During the transition period ended December 31, 2005, the Company used $154,000 in investing activities primarily for track improvements.
During the transition period ended December 31, 2005, financing activities provided $4.3 million through the issuance of notes payable.
The Company incurred a net loss of $3.8 million for the transition period ended December 31, 2005. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $37.9 million and negative working capital of $9.0 million as of December 31, 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. 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 December 31, 2005:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

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
19
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 $13,000 and $15,500 of total revenues for the respective three months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.
Expense Recognition and Deferral
Certain direct expenses pertaining to specific events, including prize and point fund monies, 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 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 December 31, 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.

In addition, as of December 31, 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 December 31, 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.
21
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 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.
22
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.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections – a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3. Statement 154 requires retrospective application of prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. The statement is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not expect this statement to have a material effect on its reporting.
SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments – an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and No. 140 and SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140 were recently issued. These statements have no current applicability to the Company and have no effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Item 8A. Evaluation of Internal and Disclosure Controls
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-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the date of the financial statements included in this report on Form 10-KSB, have concluded that as of the evaluation date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are adequate and effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in our periodic SEC filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods required by the SEC and is accumulated and communicated to them by others within those entities as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
There have been no 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.

Item 14. Principal Accountant Fees and Services
Audit Fees
The Company paid $51,979 in audit fees during the quarter ended December 31, 2004. Of this, $36,979 was paid to Murrell, Hall, McIntosh & Co., PLLP (“MHM”), our current auditor of record, the remainder of the fees were paid to BDO Seidman, LLP, the Company’s prior auditor. Audit fees were $52,873 for the 2005 transition period paid to MHM. As of March 20, 2006, we have paid MHM $205,614 for audit work related to the 2004 and 2005 audits.
Audit Related Fees
There were no fees billed for audit-related services not disclosed in “Audit Fees” above.
Tax Fees
In the quarter ended December 31, 2004, MHM did not perform any tax related services and therefore there were no amounts billed for fees for tax services. During the 2005 transition period the company paid $6,450 to MHM for tax preparation fees. As of March 20, 2006, we have paid MHM $16,208 for fees for tax services.
All Other Fees
No other fees were billed for services rendered by the Company’s principal accountants for the three month periods ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.
Compatibility of Certain Fees with Independent Accountants’ Independence
The Audit Committee has established its pre-approval policies and procedures, pursuant to which the Audit Committee approved the foregoing audit and permissible non-audit services provided by Murrell, Hall, McIntosh & Co., PLLP in fiscal 2005. Such procedures govern the ways in which the Audit Committee pre-approves audit and various categories of non-audit services that the auditor provides to the Company. Services which have not received pre-approval must receive specific approval of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee is to be informed of each such engagement in a timely manner, and such procedures do not include delegation of the Audit Committee’s responsibilities to management.
Previous Independent Accountants
On June 2, 2004, the Company dismissed BDO Seidman, LLP as our independent auditors. This decision was discussed and approved by our Board of Directors as we did not have a standing Audit Committee at that time. The report of BDO Seidman, LLP on our financial statements for our fiscal year ended September 30, 2003, contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to, audit scope or accounting principles but, were qualified as to our ability to continue as a going concern. Further,
30
during our 2003 fiscal year and through June 2, 2004, there were no disagreements with BDO Seidman, LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of BDO Seidman, LLP, would have caused them to make reference thereto in its report on the financial statements for such years. From our inception and through June 2, 2004, there were no reportable events of which we were notified by BDO Seidman, LLP.
Reports of the Audit Committee
On an annual basis the Audit Committee will review and discuss the Company’s most recent audited financial statements with management, and will discuss with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by SAS 61, as modified or supplemented, and will receive the written disclosures and letters as required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, as modified or supplemented, and will discuss with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm its independence. Based on these reviews and discussions, the Audit Committee will then make its recommendation to the Board of Directors related to the inclusion of the audited financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for each fiscal year for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Dirt Motor Sports, Inc. as of December 31, 2005, and the related consolidated statement of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the three month period then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit 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 consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required 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 also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, 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.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Dirt Motor Sports, Inc. as of December 31, 2005, and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the three month period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Dirt Motor Sports, Inc. will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, Dirt Motor Sports, Inc. has incurred significant net losses during the year ended December 31, 2005 and has negative working capital as of December 31, 2005. These matters raise substantial doubt about the ability of Dirt Motor Sports, Inc. to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Dirt Motor Sports, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2005 and 2004
NOTE 1 – THE COMPANY
Nature 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.”
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 quarter ended December 31, 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.
We are a leading marketer and promoter of motorsports entertainment in the United States. We operate 7 dirt motorsports tracks (4 are owned and 3 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 Late Model Series.
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 $3.8 million for the transition period ended December 31, 2005. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $37.9 million and negative working capital of $9.0 million as of December 31, 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 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Reclassifications
39
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. During 2005 the Company eliminated several subsidiaries which had no activity. These included Moonstone, Inc., The Entity, Inc., Boundless Motor Sports Racing and GPX Partners.
Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue
The Company derives its revenues from 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. The related payout of drivers purses are included as an expense within the statement of operations line item “track and event operations” “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. 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 $13,000 and $15,500 of total revenues for the three month periods ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Expense Recognition and Deferral
Certain direct expenses pertaining to specific events, including prize and point fund monies, 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.
Net Loss Per Share and Warrants Outstanding
Basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) are calculated in accordance with FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share. For the three months ended December 31, 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.

In addition, as of December 31, 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.
The following table summarizes the Company’s common stock purchase warrant and certain stock option activity for the transition period ended December 31, 2005. These warrants were not considered in computing diluted earnings per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive:

| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Total warrants and stock options outstanding | | | 11,195,025 | | | $ | 3.83 | | | | 6.6 | |
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.
Accounts Receivable
The Company uses the allowance method to account for uncollectible accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2005, all accounts receivable were considered collectible.
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.
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
41
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.
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.
Stock Based Compensation
The company uses the intrinsic-value method as provided by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” in accounting for its various fixed stock option plans and its employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”) and provides pro forma disclosures of the compensation expense determined under the fair value provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure.” Accordingly, the Company did not recognize compensation expense upon the issuance of certain of its stock options because the option terms were fixed and the exercise price equaled the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.
Pro forma information regarding net loss and loss per share is required by and has been determined as if the company had accounted for its employee stock options under the fair value method defined by SFAS No. 123 and amended by SFAS No. 148. The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for options granted in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005 (no options were granted in 2004 or during the transition period ended December 31, 2005):
| | | | |
| | 2005 |
Interest rates, (Zero-coupon U.S. Government Bonds issued with remaining life equal to expected term of options | | | 2.5 | % |
Dividend yields | | | 0 | % |
Volatility factors of the common stock | | | 146 | % |
Weighted average expected life | | 2.0 years |
Resulting weighted average grant date fair value | | $ | 3.83 | |
Additional expense under fair value method | | $ | 2,494,000 | |
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because these stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its stock options. The following table displays the effect on net loss and loss per share had the fair value method been applied during the transition period ended December 31, 2005 (the value of the options is recorded over the two year vesting term of the options and no options were granted in 2004 or during the transition period ended December 31, 2005):

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 services performed. There were no cash deposits as of December 31, 2005 in excess of FDIC limits.
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. The adoption of SFAS 153 had no impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
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.
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.
43
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections — a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3. Statement 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. The statement is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not expect this statement to have a material effect on its reporting.
SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments – an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and No. 140 and SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140 were recently issued. These statements have no current applicability to the Company and have no effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
NOTE 4 – ACQUISITIONS
World of Outlaws, Inc.
On February 4, 2004 the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all the assets of World of Outlaws. World of Outlaws is one of the premier sanctioning bodies and touring racing series for dirt track racing across the United States. The acquisition allowed the Company to pursue its business plan to create a racing and sports entertainment company. The purchase price consisted of:
| • | | Cash and acquisition costs of $2,419,319 |
|
| • | | Forgiveness of $1,450,000 plus accrued interest of $21,815 promissory note payable to the Company |
|
| • | | Assumptions of obligations for $612,500 in deposits World of Outlaws had received for sanctioning of future sprint car racing events |
|
| • | | Assumption of $777,677 of other obligations of World of Outlaws |
The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:
| | | | |
Transportation equipment | | $ | 184,926 | |
Other equipment | | | 8,875 | |
Trade-marks and Trade-names | | | 142,452 | |
Goodwill | | | 4,945,058 | |
| | | |
Total assets acquired | | | 5,281,311 | |
| | | |
| | | | |
Advances from promoters | | | 612,500 | |
Other current obligations | | | 777,677 | |
| | | |
Total liabilities assumed | | | 1,390,177 | |
| | | |
| | | | |
Net consideration paid in cash and debt forgiveness | | $ | 3,891,134 | |
| | | |
With the purchase of World of Outlaws, the Company acquired the corporate name “World of Outlaws, Inc.” and all associated trade-names, trade-marks, and trade-mark registrations. This allows the Company to sanction World of Outlaws sprint-car racing events and expand into other series, such as a World of Outlaws late-model series, without restrictions.
Dirt Motorsports, Inc.
In October 2003, the Company made a cash deposit of $1,000,000 and issued 1,558,334 shares of its common stock to the owners of Dirt and two affiliated tracks known as Rolling Wheels Dirt Race Track and Cayuga County Dirt Track towards the acquisition of these properties. This series of transactions is referred to as the “Dirt Acquisitions”.
Effective May 24, 2004, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Boundless Racing, Inc., a Texas corporation (“Boundless Racing”), consummated the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Finger Lake International, Inc., a New York corporation (“FLI”), pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement. The Company, through a separate wholly-owned subsidiary, had previously entered into an agreement to purchase the FLI assets (the “First Asset Purchase Agreement”), but the previous arrangement was mutually terminated in favor of the Asset Purchase Agreement.
In exchange for the assets and real property acquired, which consisted of the Rolling Wheels motor sports racing track located in Elbridge, New York, the Company paid $1,088,777 to FLI consisting of (a) cash in an aggregate of $1,000,000, and (b) 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share. The Company also incurred $28,777 of costs relating to the acquisition. The Shares issued to FLI in connection with this acquisition were issued by the Company pursuant to
44

NOTE 9 – 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.
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 the value of the shares issued to Boundless Investments by a shareholder on behalf of the Company was charged to operations during the year ended September 30, 2004 as a debt extinguishment expense.
In connection with the Company’s financing in February 2005 (see Note 10) (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 year ended September 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 December 31, 2005 consisted of the following:

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 to interest expense over the period from the date of issuance to the date of earliest conversion, six months from the date of issuance.
