Monthly Commentary on happenings at MBA Holdings

MBA Holdings CEO, Gaylen Brotherson

 

January 31, 2008

 

MBA Holdings, Inc. has been working to restructure the company, to lessen the debt of our public company, shed non-profitable companies, become profitable and thus increase the stock value and trading volume, complete all of our audits and restart the trading on the bulletin board in 2008.

The economy has not been good in most sectors, home and auto sales have plummeted, high fuel prices, higher food costs, unsettled job market and decreasing disposable income has not help the motorcycle business including motorcycle rentals.  Harley-Davidson has announced fourth quarter U.S. sales down 14% and earnings down 26% and forecasts modest revenue growth in 2008.  Perhaps the additional  interest rate cut yesterday will stimulate most markets, including auto and home sales.

 One of the biggest MBA, Inc. problems is the large amount of competition and decreased sales of vehicles and high interest rates have hurt the extended auto warranty business, the fact that the entire automobile market is in the slump, and the cost of accounting and auditing the Mechanical Breakdown Administrators, Inc. due to Sarbane’s Oxley.

 The Board of Directors has voted to exchange the shares of Mechanical Breakdown Administrators, Inc. subsidiary for Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000.00) of Debt owed by MBA Holdings, Inc. to an affiliate of the company’s largest shareholder.  This clears the path and will allow MBA Holdings, Inc. to aggressively persue acquisitions to grow the company.

 This transaction will significantly change the cost of operation, including payroll, office expenses, audit and accounting, long term liability and direction of the public company and the remaining companies owned by MBA Holdings, Inc., The National Motorcycle Dealers Association, Street Eagle Motorcycle Rentals, Blue Sky Motorcycle Rentals, Rent 2 Ride Motorcycle Rentals and WorldWide Motorcycle Rentals will be the remaining business in MBA Holdings, Inc.  These changes will be effective January 31, 2008

 Motorcycle News: We are very pleased to announce the signing of our newest Licensee: Street Eagle Motorcycle Rentals of Lincoln, California, which will open in  late February 2008 and several additional new stores in the near future. We will be releasing detailed information about these stores and we will be doing feature stories about these stores, and their people in the near future.

 Finally, Spring is just around the corner… and our rentals stores are re-starting and gearing up their rental operations for spring, the spring round of motorcycle shows are beginning with the V-Twin Expo in Cincinnati this coming week and the Indy Motorcycle show in late February,  Daytona Motorcycle Weeks and the motorcycle selling and rental season will be on it’s way for 2008. 

 

Sincerely,

 Gaylen Brotherson
