BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Effective August 2, 2002, Pacific International Holding, Inc., a Utah corporation (PIH), which was originally organized in 1986, changed its state of domicile and name by merging with and into Interactive Motorsports and Entertainment Corp. (the surviving entity), an Indiana corporation (the Company), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization. Per the merger agreement, each share of PIH common stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of the merger was cancelled and converted into four shares of Interactive Motorsports and Entertainment Corp. common stock. Although it had been in a variety of businesses for over 15 years, at the time of the merger, PIH had limited operations.
Subsequent to the merger and effective as of the same date, the Company acquired pursuant to a Plan and Agreement of Exchange all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock and preferred stock of Perfect Line, Inc., an Indiana corporation (Perfect Line), from the Perfect Line shareholders in exchange on a share-for-share basis for shares of the Companys common stock and preferred stock. As a result of the share exchange, the Perfect Line shareholders held as of August 2, 2002 Company shares representing approximately eighty-two percent (82%) of the Companys capital stock. Also effective as of August 2, 2002, the members of the Board of Directors of Perfect Line were elected to replace the members of the Companys Board of Directors and the executive officers of Perfect Line became the executive officers of the Company.
As Perfect Line had revenues, operations, and business activity, for financial reporting purposes, Perfect Line is considered the acquirer, and therefore the predecessor, and the Company is considered the acquiree for accounting and reporting purposes. Due to the fact that the merger is being treated as a reverse acquisition, the equity of the Company has been recapitalized for financial reporting purposes. The operations of Interactive Motorsports and Entertainment Corp. have been included in consolidation from August 2, 2002 until December 31, 2004.
All information in this Form 10-KSB/A is presented from the perspective of Interactive Motorsports and Entertainment Corp. and its subsidiary Perfect Line and not from the perspective of PIH.

PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Overview
Interactive Motorsports and Entertainment Corp. (IMTS or the Company), an Indiana corporation, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Perfect Line, Inc., is a world leader in race simulation. The Company is in the business of owning and operating simulated racing centers, selling racing related merchandise, revenue sharing with partners in malls, amusement parks, family entertainment centers, casinos and auto malls, leasing for mobile fan interactive experiences and the selling simulators to third parties. Under an exclusive license from Americas fastest growing sport, NASCAR, the NASCAR Silicon Motor Speedway (NSMS) customers experience driving in a NASCAR race car that simulates the motion, sights and sounds of an actual NASCAR event.
The Company leverages its strategic relationships and proprietary assets, which include (a) sophisticated racing simulation technology, (b) an exclusive licensing agreement with NASCAR, and (c) license agreements with other racing entities including race tracks, race teams, and race sponsors to create a dynamic, diversified business.
For the year ended December 31, 2004, the Companys racing centers and revenue share simulators generated revenue of approximately $7.0 million. Over the last 18 months, management has revised the Companys business model from an owned and operated, mall based racing center concept to primarily a revenue share and leasing business. The revenue share model is one where the Company owns the race car simulators and the software, and the revenue share partner (mall retailer, family entertainment center, amusement park, casino, museum, etc.) provides the space and the labor for the experience. The revenue that is generated is shared between the two parties, and minimum guarantees to the Company normally apply.
Major Agreements: During 2004, the Company entered into lease/revenue share arrangements as well as entered into transactions for the sale of simulators. The lease/revenue arrangements involve four types of locations (including ongoing service agreements for locations of simulators which are sold) and four types of arrangements. The Company entered into lease/revenue arrangements for fixed locations with (i) new facility operators for new locations; (ii) new facility operators to assume the Companys operations under presently existing Company locations; (iii) new operations for mobile arrangements for use with the Nextel experience; and (iv) simulator equipment sales. A brief description of each of those is listed below.

Pricing
An individual race typically costs $8.50 and quantity discounts are offered with purchases of multiple races. Customers pay an average of $25 per hour to use a simulator during leagues and competitions. Depending on the program or package, the targeted yield for group sales averages between $300 and $800 per hour for the use of the entire racing center. Prices of merchandise range from $16 for a hat up to $200 for high-end leather jackets. Prices for the die-cast and collectable cars range between $15 and $65. The Companys owned locations provide the only means to generate revenues from merchandise sales. The Company does not receive any payments from the revenue share sites for merchandise sales.
History
NSMS racing centers were originally owned and developed by Silicon Entertainment, Inc. (SEI). SEI opened its first site in August 1997 at the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota, the largest mall in the United States. SEI raised large sums of initial capital, of which, according to SEI internal documents, approximately $6.5 million was utilized to create its proprietary software technology and approximately $25 million was utilized to produce approximately 170 simulators and complete the build-out of 15 stores in high traffic malls. SEI was unable to secure additional long term financing to support its capital expansion, and was liquidated through Chapter 7 bankruptcy in April 2001. Perfect Lines assets were primarily acquired from creditors of SEI. As a result of SEIs bankruptcy, Perfect Line was able to purchase the assets of SEI at a price substantially below SEIs cost.
Perfect Line, LLC, a predecessor to Perfect Line, Inc., re-opened 12 of the racing centers, which utilized 136 of the simulators, between July 2001 and August 2002. The Company then warehoused 32 simulators for future deployment and 2 simulators are used for research and development purposes at the Companys technology center in Santa Clara, California. The proprietary technology includes two U.S. Patents, which combine to create what management believes to be one of the worlds most realistic simulations of the sights, sounds and motions experienced by driving in an actual NASCAR race. The proprietary motion-based platform that the race car simulator is mounted on is among the other assets that were acquired and licensed as part of the transaction.
7
In August 2002, Perfect Line became a wholly owned subsidiary of IMTS, through an exchange of shares that resulted in Perfect Line shareholders owning approximately 82% of IMTS equity. Simultaneous with this event, approximately $2.6 million in private equity financing was made available to Perfect Line. Approximately one-half of the funding was used to retire the Companys bank note and the balance was used for working capital.
In July of 2003, management revised the Companys business model, changing the focus from Company owned and operated mall-based racing centers to revenue share racing centers (mall merchandise retailers, family entertainment centers, amusement parks, casinos, auto malls, etc.) and mobile lease programs such as the Nextel Experience and simulator purchases. Without the burden of occupancy costs and labor costs, management believes the current business model has proved successful as indicated by the Companys first quarterly operating profit for the quarter ending September 30, 2004, and first quarterly net profit for the quarter ended December 31, 2004, as well as its first net profit for the year ending December 31, 2004.
On December 31, 2004, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement pursuant to which it sold thirty-four (34) of its existing race car simulators to Race Car Simulation Corporation (RCS), a wholly owned subsidiary of Dolphin Direct Equity Partners, LP (Dolphin) for an aggregate purchase price of $1,536,600. The Purchase Agreement is accounted for as a borrowing in accordance with the guidance provided in paragraphs 21-22 of SFAS 13. The Agreement also grants RCS an option to purchase an additional ten (10) new race car simulators for an aggregate purchase price of $1,320,000.
The Companys Current Operations, Recent Developments and Plan for the Future
The Companys primary focus is to leverage the Companys ownership of its internationally unique, proprietary race car simulation technology and create the largest network of officially-licensed, NASCAR-branded entertainment centers in the world. The Company believes that this can be done profitably through a combination of owned and operated racing centers, third party revenue share locations (family entertainment centers, amusement parks, casinos, auto malls, etc.), mobile unit leases and the domestic and international sales of the race simulator product.
NASCAR racing is currently the #1 spectator sport in America. The Company has an exclusive license agreement with NASCAR for location-based entertainment, which includes the right to use the NASCAR name within the Silicon Motor Speedway logo, on racing center signage, within collateral sales materials, on the NSMS web site, and within the NSMS racing simulator software. The Company has also secured licenses with many popular racetracks in the United States, and the cars driven by many of the race fans favorite Nextel Cup teams and drivers, ranging from established stars such as Dale Earnhardt, Jr., Tony Stewart and Mark Martin, to rising stars like Matt Kenseth and Kurt Busch. These licensing agreements and the use of NASCAR related identities and marks provide immediate name recognition, credibility, and authenticity to NSMS.
The Company has integrated these license agreements with sophisticated proprietary racing simulator technology to create a network of NASCAR-themed, family-oriented, racing entertainment and retail merchandise centers. Many racing centers are in some of Americas premier shopping malls, giving us access to over 160 million annual site visits from potential customers.
Simulator races take place on famous NASCAR Nextel Cup racetracks such as Daytona International Speedway, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Lowes (Charlotte) Motor Speedway, Atlanta Motor Speedway, Bristol Motor Speedway, and Richmond International Raceway.

NSMS owned Racing Centers, as well as many of its revenue share Racing Centers, are operated as combined racing entertainment and retail merchandise stores. In addition to providing customers with the opportunity to drive Nextel Cup racecars, NSMS Racing Centers also feature a large selection of officially-licensed NASCAR merchandise. Research indicates that NASCAR fans buy more merchandise than fans from almost any other sport and they are also the most brand-loyal. These characteristics helped boost worldwide NASCAR-branded retail sales from approximately $82 million in 1990 to $2.1 billion in 2004. The Companys NSMS racing centers are the largest network of officially licensed, NASCAR-branded interactive entertainment stores in the world, and offer its customers the most popular NASCAR merchandise available. Although the Companys owned locations provide its only direct means to generate revenues from merchandise sales, the Companys experience has been that increases in merchandise sales have a spillover effect on the level of simulator revenue each site generates. The Company does not receive any payments from the revenue share sites for merchandise sales. With these factors in place, the Company believes it is well-positioned to capitalize on this billion-dollar market.
Tony Stewart, 2002 NASCAR Nextel Cup Champion, has been the spokesman and technical advisor for NASCAR Silicon Motor Speedway. He has been featured in promotions, advertising and point-of-sale material and also has made appearances at NSMS racing center locations throughout the country.
The Company first tested the revenue share business model with the Burroughs and Chapin Company of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, by installing 6 simulators at their Smokey Mountain NASCAR SpeedPark in April of 2003, and 5 simulators at their Myrtle Beach Pavilion Amusement Parks Ocean Front Arcade in May of 2003. The results of these two revenue share racing centers inspired management to revise the Companys business model beginning in July of 2003, changing the focus from Company owned and operated racing centers to revenue share racing centers located within malls, family entertainment centers, amusement parks, casinos, auto malls, etc. Revenue share locations will provide IMTS the opportunity to install simulators in existing or planned entertainment venues and share proportionately in the sales generated with owner-operators. The Company provides the simulators at cost (expected to be financed through a third party leasing firm, although no agreements have been reached) and the host organization (owner-operator) provides the space, required site build-out, and day-to-day operations staffing.
The Company and Checker Flag Lightning of Grandville, Michigan, tested the conversion of one of the Companys mall racing centers to a Checker Flag Lightning retail merchandise and entertainment center beginning in November of 2003. The lease at the racing center within RiverTown Crossing in Grandville, Michigan was assigned to Checker Flag Lightning and the store was remodeled by reducing the number of simulators to 8 from 10, and building out the retail merchandise space to fill nearly half of the 6100 square feet with NASCAR merchandise. This model led to an agreement with Checker Flag Lightning in March of 2004 to assign six of the Companys mall leases with the intent to convert each of them to the new mall model. In addition, Checker Flag Lightning recently opened a 3,500 square foot retail merchandise and entertainment center featuring 8 of the Companys simulators in the new Jordan Creek Town Center in West Des Moines, Iowa, and a 4000 square foot site featuring 6 simulators at Gurnee Mills, just north of Chicago, Illinois.
9
The Company recently established a new revenue stream through mobile leases that management believes will be beneficial to the Company in the future. At the 2004 Daytona 500, Nextel debuted The Nextel Experience, a mobile fan interactive experience that features six of the Companys race simulators. The Nextel Experience has had and will have a prominent location at each of the NASCAR Nextel Cup events for at least through the 2006 season. For 2005, Nextel is leasing an additional three mini mobile experiences that they will use for promotional events around the country, each featuring two of the Companys simulators.
The Company has made technological improvements to the simulation, resulting in an enhanced racing experience. In addition, two popular racetracks, Bristol and Indianapolis, were introduced to the simulation experience late in 2002 and early in 2003. Other software improvements were implemented, including on-line programs such as MySpeedway. MySpeedway is a feature on IMTSs website (www.smsonline.com) that allows customers to find their recent lap times, and analyze their results to improve their performance by comparing their times to those of other racers throughout the country. Car parameters were introduced in August 2003 allowing racers to set up their cars to their personal preferences. Adjustable parameters include traction control, anti-lock brakes, spoiler angle, steering ratio, front anti-roll bar, engine, transmission gearing, and rear end ratio.
Technological improvements are currently under development. These include upgrading and enhancing the game graphics, upgrading the underlying operating system in order to accommodate future developments, and significant revenue enhancing game features that target the Companys core customers. Other projects include a smaller version of our patented motion platform that will allow more customer throughput, a 3D version of our racing experience and a concept called Wheel to Real where we recreate actual NASCAR races in graphic form using data from the race cars for replay experiences and interactive features. Although the individuals involved in research and development have other responsibilities with the Company, management estimates that approximately $243,000 was spent in the year ending December 31, 2004 on research and development activities.
In order to meet the ongoing demand for the Companys simulators, the Company has submitted purchase orders for 50 new race car simulator bodies and motion base platforms with Elan Motorsports Technologies who can manufacture and assemble the simulators at a rate of 2 per week. The manufacturing will be funded by a combination of advance deposits due from customers and the financing that the Company anticipates generating due to the Companys recent financial improvements.
Racing Center Dynamics
Simulator Racing The racing centers generate revenues from repeat customers that in 2004 represented approximately 88% of IMTSs company owned store revenue, and approximately 52% of the Companys total revenues. Approximately 50% of the Companys first time drivers are non-destination walk-ins. A typical customer is a college-educated male over the age of 20 with household income in excess of $50,000. Repeat customers cite challenge and competition as primary reasons for returning to its racing centers.
Merchandise The sale of NASCAR licensed merchandise at the Companys owned and operated racing centers extends beyond customers participating in the race experience. The most popular price points are under $25, predominantly hats and t-shirts, and represent a significant portion of the merchandise sales, many of which are simply souvenirs or impulse pick-up items purchased by passers-by. The collectibles portion of the inventory is generally sold to regular customers who depend on NSMS to stock the collectable die-cast models and premium merchandise.
10
Staffing -- A General Manager and one to two Assistant General Managers run each mall based racing center. A Supervisor ensures the service level within its entertainment experience is executed at the highest level. Each store also employs an on-site Technical Manager who ensures the computer network and physical racecar simulators are maintained at all times. Many of the smaller revenue share racing centers employ one or two operators for the experience in addition to their existing management staff. The mobile units require two operators.
Training The Company provides extensive training programs for both employees and managers. New employees are given a thorough orientation on all policies and procedures during a three to five day training program. New managers must complete an extensive training program that covers all aspects of each racing center.
Employees -- As of March 1, 2005 the Company had 68 employees including 32 full-time and 36 part-time. The Company considers its relations with its employees to be excellent.
ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES
The Company is headquartered at 5624 West 73rd Street in Indianapolis, Indiana where the Company leases approximately 4,800 square feet. The facility consists primarily of office and storage areas and is leased from an unrelated third party. The headquarters lease expires September 14, 2005. The Company also maintains an engineering office at 2065 Martin Avenue in Santa Clara, California where it leases approximately 1,800 square feet of office space. The engineering office lease expires on April 30, 2005. The Company believes its headquarters and engineering space is adequate for the present time and is reviewing options for relocating or extending its leases at these locations.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, the Company may be party to various legal actions and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company was notified from a third party in November of 2004 of a possible infringement on a patent related to the adjustments of the car parameters on race car simulators which was introduced by the Company in 2003. Management has had discussions with the third party, and since the car parameters feature is limited to certain racing centers and the incremental revenue generated from this feature is not material, management believes a reasonable resolution can be agreed to between the parties. As of the filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, the Company is not aware of any material legal actions directed against the Company.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis provides information that we believe is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the consolidated results of operations and financial condition of the Company. The terms Company, we, our or us are used in this discussion to refer to Interactive Motorsports and Entertainment Corp. along with Interactive Motorsports and Entertainment Corp.s wholly owned subsidiary, Perfect Line, Inc., on a consolidated basis, except where the context clearly indicates otherwise. The discussion and information that follows concerns the Registrant as it exists today, as of this filing, including the predecessor of the Companys operations, Perfect Line, LLC. This discussion and analysis does not relate to the operations of Pacific International Holding, Inc. which had limited operations prior to the merger with the Company on August 2, 2002.
Overview
The Company generated its first quarterly operating profit in the third quarter of 2004. Since inception on May 31, 2001 and through December 31, 2004, the Company has accumulated aggregate losses totaling $7,670,074, which includes the net loss of $1,235,419 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004, the net loss of $3,525,581 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003, the net loss of $2,189,220 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2002 and the net loss of $719,854 for the period from inception to December 31, 2001.
14
The Company has funded its retained losses through the initial investment of $650,000 in May 2001, $400,000 of capital contributed in February 2002, approximately $2.6 million received in August 2002 from the sale of Preferred Stock, $700,000 borrowed in March 2003, $604,000 in net proceeds borrowed between February 2004 and June 2004, $1.957 million received in the form of deposits for the placement of race car simulators in revenue share locations, or for the future purchase by third parties of racecar simulators, and $988,171 by delaying payments to its vendors. See further discussion under Liquidity and Capital Resources and Risk Factors below.
During the twelve months ended December 31, 2004, the Company had total revenues of $5,769,104 compared to $7,557,978 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003. The 23.7 % decrease in revenue is due primarily to the implementation of the Companys revised business model during 2004. Most of the Company store locations at December 31, 2003 were converted to Checker Flag Lightning, Inc. revenue share locations in 2004. This resulted in the Company recognizing just a portion of the revenue generated by the location as revenue share income, with little related expense, rather than recognizing all the revenue generated at a location, but also recognizing the payroll, rent and operating expenses associated with the location as well. The resultant reduction in revenue from store sites was offset for the most part by the realization of new revenue streams from the Companys leasing and sales activities, and from the addition of new revenue share locations beyond the original converted store locations.
Review of Consolidated Financial Position
Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Company had $1,334,673 in cash as of December 31, 2004 compared with $249,005 at December 31, 2003, an increase of $1,085,668. This increase in cash for the year ended December 31, 2004 relates principally to the sale of 34 simulators on December 31, 2004 for which the Company received $1,424,600.
Trade Accounts Receivable: The higher balance of $428,726 at December 31, 2004 is primarily revenue share and credit card receivables while the $39,459 balance at December 31, 2003 is primarily credit card receivables only. The increase is attributable to the increase is the Companys revenue share business, coupled with the slowness of payment by the Checker Flag organization.
Inventory: At December 31, 2004, inventory of $259,931 consisted of merchandise inventory of $27,298 and simulator inventory of $242,632. In addition, the inventory has a very conservative $20,000 reserve against it. Merchandise inventory decreased by $21,577 from December 31, 2003 due primarily to the conversion of company store sites to revenue share sites, thus reducing the outlets from which the Company sells merchandise from nine to three. Simulator inventory available for placement in new revenue share sites, or available for sale, did not exist at December 31, 2003, and results from our agreement with Elan Motorsports Technologies to build 50 new simulators for future deployment.
Accounts Payable: The balance of accounts payable of $418,815 at December 31, 2004 represents a reduction of $1,143,015 from the balance at December 31, 2003 of $1,561,830. This reduction is primarily attributable to the reclassification of back rent and utilities due to the landlords of the revenue share sites that were converted from company store locations in 2004, and to the payment of accounts payable in the normal course of business. This back rent liability is now classified as an accrued expense so as to provide a clearer picture of the accounts payable associated with the Companys revised business model
15
Accrued Liabilities: The balance at December 31, 2003 of $776,314 increased by $382,615 in 2004 to $1,158,929 due primarily to the reclassification of a portion of the back rent and utilities due to the landlords of the revenue share sites that were converted from company store locations in 2004. Also driving the increase were the establishment of accruals for warranty expenses on sold simulators of $47,915. Accrued licensing fees of $80,000 at December 31, 2003 decreased to $71,750 at December 31, 2004.
Notes Payable: On March 7, 2003, the Company entered into a short term financial agreement (the Secured Bridge Notes) whereby the Company borrowed $700,000 for working capital purposes. The Agreement also involved the issuance of warrants for 2,941,176 common shares. The warrants had a strike price of $0.17, and expired on June 30, 2004.
Two of the four Secured Bridge Notes continue to maintain a balance totaling $550,000, of which $200,000 was repaid on January 3, 2005. One of the four Secured Bridge Notes dated March, 2003 was paid in full in 2004, and another of the notes, along with an additional Company obligation, was transferred to a third party controlled by a major Company shareholder and rolled into the 2004 Note and Option Purchase Agreement described below.
Between February and June, 2004, the Company sold a series of notes collectively referred to as the 2004 Note and Option Purchase Agreement in the total amount of $750,000. These notes generated $604,000 in cash, while $146,000 of the notes were the result of a transfer to a third party controlled by a major Company shareholder of a prior company obligation under the Secured Bridge Notes described above. The Agreement also involved the issuance of options for approximately 6,904,395 common shares. The options had a strike price equal to the closing price of IMTS stock on the date the note was purchased, which ranged from $.08 to $.21 per share. 2,604,395 of the options expired on March 1, 2005, while the remaining 4,300,000 options are in the process of being exercised per the terms of the 2004 Note and Option Purchase Agreement.
On December 31, 2004, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement pursuant to which it sold thirty-four (34) of its existing race car simulators to Race Car Simulation Corporation (RCS), a wholly owned subsidiary of Dolphin Direct Equity Partners, LP (Dolphin). The purchase price of $1,536,600 was paid in cash by the date of the agreement. The Purchase Agreement is accounted for as a borrowing in accordance with the guidance provided in paragraphs 21-22 of SFAS 13. Terms of the transaction included the issuance warrants to Dolphin for the purchase of 5,161,500 shares of common stock. The warrants have a strike price of $.10 per share, and expire on 12/31/2009. The transaction also required the payment of $84,000 and the issuance of warrants for 150,000 shares of common stock to Northeast Securities for their services in the transaction. The warrants also have a strike price of $.10 per share, and expire on 12/31/2009. Using the Black Scholes valuation method, the Company determined the value of these warrants to be $287,308 assuming a risk-free interest rate of 3.95% over a period of 5 years. At December 31, 2004, none of these warrants had been exercised.
Other Liabilities: Accrued payroll and payroll taxes, sales taxes payable, unearned revenue, and other accrued expenses fluctuate with the volume of business, timing of payments, and the day of the week on which the period ends. At December 31, 2004, the payroll accrual was a week and a half payroll. Gift certificates at December 31, 2004 decreased by $70,199 compared to December 2003. This decrease can be attributed to the reduction in the number of company locations from which gift certificates are sold and redeemed.
16
Review of Consolidated Results of Operations
Sales for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004 were $1,788,874 lower than for the 12 month period ending December 31, 2003 due primarily to the implementation of the Companys revised business model during 2004. Most of the Company store locations at December 31, 2003 were converted to Checker Flag Lightning, Inc. revenue share locations in 2004. This resulted in the Company recognizing just a portion of the revenue generated by the location in 2004 as revenue share income, with little related expense, rather than recognizing all the revenue generated at a location, as was the case in 2003, but also recognizing the payroll, rent and operating expenses associated with the location as well. The resultant reduction in revenue from store sites was offset for the most part by the addition of new revenue share sites beyond the original converted store locations, and the realization of new revenue streams from the Companys leasing and sales activities.
During 2004, the Company dramatically reduced the rate of decline in company store sales. Same store sales for the three company stores at December 31, 2004 declined by 43% from year earlier levels, as compared to the 16% decline when comparing same store sales for the three company stores at December 31, 2002 and 2003. We believe company store sales decreased in 2004 due to a lack of marketing expenditures, and the lack of sufficient quantities of merchandise inventory at key periods during the year to maximize the opportunity the retail component of the stores provides.
Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2004 declined by approximately 38% from the period ending December 31, 2003. These expenses represented approximately 108% of net sales and approximately 140% for the comparable period in 2003. Implementation of the Companys revised business model resulted in a reduction in operating expenses of approximately $3.78 million, with reductions occurring primarily in payroll and occupancy costs as the Company converted company owned stores to revenue share locations.
Additionally, interest expense declined by approximately $96,000 as the Company was able to secure financing at more attractive rates in 2004 than were available in 2003.
EBITDA of $(386,567) for the period ending December 31, 2004 increased dramatically as compared to EBITDA of ($2,294,930) for the period ending December 31, 2003. This improvement is directly attributable to the decrease in operating expenses and interest expense in 2004.
Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures of Market Risk
The fair value of the assets and liabilities comprising the Companys condensed consolidated balance sheet are not subject to an inordinate amount of market risk. The term market risk refers to the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates and other relevant market rates and prices. The Companys primary assets are the racing simulators and the software that runs them. As such, the Company does not believe it has any significant exposure to market risk, as defined.
17
Critical Accounting Policies
The Companys critical accounting policies, including the assumptions and judgments underlying them, are disclosed in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2004 included in Item 7 in this Form 10-KSB/A. The Company has consistently applied these policies in the year ended December 31, 2004. Management does not believe that operations to date have involved uncertainty of accounting treatment, subjective judgment, or estimates, to any significant degree.
Internal Controls
Pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, management has reviewed the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14) as of a date within 90 days prior to this annual report (the Evaluation Date). Management believes that such disclosure controls and procedures as of the Evaluation Date were adequate to ensure that employees and others with material information relating to the Company make that information known to management. To managements knowledge, there were no significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the Evaluation Date.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The various sources of funds available to the Company are receipts from revenue share sites, payments on leased simulators, receipts collected on the sale of simulator assets, deposits collected on future sales or revenue share sites, and from customers in our company owned stores for simulator rides and merchandise sales, proceeds from equity offerings including the $2,610,050 received in August 2002, loans from related parties including net proceeds of $687,500 received in March, 2003, and net proceeds received between February 2004 and June 2004 totaling $604,000, credit extended by vendors, and possible future financings.
In July of 2003, management revised the Companys business model, changing the focus from Company owned and operated mall-based racing centers to revenue share racing centers (mall merchandise retailers, family entertainment centers, amusement parks, casinos, auto malls, etc.) and mobile lease programs such as the Nextel Experience, and simulator purchases. Without the burden of occupancy costs and labor costs, management believes the current business model has proved successful as indicated by the Companys first quarterly operating profit for the quarter ending September 30, 2004, by its first quarterly net profit for the quarter ended December 31, 2004, and by its profit for the year ending December 31, 2004.
On December 31, 2004, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement pursuant to which it sold thirty-four (34) of its race car simulators to Race Car Simulation Corporation (RCS), a wholly owned subsidiary of Dolphin Direct Equity Partners, LP (Dolphin) for an aggregate purchase price of $1,536,600. The Purchase Agreement is accounted for as a borrowing in accordance with the guidance provided in paragraphs 21-22 of SFAS 13 which increased Notes Payable by $1,249,292.. The Agreement also grants RCS an option to purchase an additional ten (10) race car simulators for an aggregate purchase price of $1,320,000.
18
During the year ended December 31, 2004, the operating activities of the Company used net cash of $724,053 compared to net cash used of $858,169 for the comparable period in 2003, a decrease of $134,116. The decrease in cash was offset by increases in accounts receivable from revenue share locations of approximately $395,000, increases in inventory related to the production and delivery of new race car simulators of approximately $211,000, and a net collective decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of approximately $352,000.
During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company used $190,793 of net cash in investing activities compared with $221,481 of net cash used in investing activities during the comparable period in 2003. In 2004, the net cash used relates primarily to the capitalization of the costs associated with the installation of simulators in new revenue share locations, and the costs of components for simulators currently in production.
During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company generated $2,050,514 of cash from financing activities compared with $745,750 of cash generated during the comparable period in 2003. Two of the four Secured Bridge Notes dated March, 2003 continue to maintain a balance totaling $550,000, of which $200,000 was repaid on January 3, 2005. One of the four Secured Bridge Notes dated March, 2003 was paid in full in 2004, and another of the notes was rolled into the 2004 Note and Option Purchase Agreement described below.
Between February and June, 2004, the Company sold a series of notes collectively referred to as the 2004 Note and Option Purchase Agreement in the total amount of $750,000. These notes generated $604,000 in cash, while $146,000 of the notes were the result of a rollover of a prior company obligation under the 2003 Secured Bridge Notes as described above.
As of December 31, 2004, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $1,334,673 compared to $249,005 at December 31, 2003. Current assets totaled $2,058,820 at December 31, 2004 compared to $381,335 on December 31, 2003. Current liabilities totaled $4,718,288 on December 31, 2004 compared with $3,656,540 on December 31, 2003. As such, these amounts represent an overall increase in working capital of $617,737 from December 31, 2003.
Inflation
We do not expect the impact of inflation on our operations to be significant.
19
Risk Factors
The Company is subject to certain risk factors due to the organization and structure of the business, the industry in which we compete and the nature of our operations. These risk factors include the following:
Operating History, Operating Losses, and Accumulated Deficit
Perfect Line, LLC was formed in June 2001 for the purpose of acquiring certain of the assets of SEI, a bankrupt corporation, and modifying and improving the business model under which SEI operated, as more fully described under Overview above. While the concept is a modification and improvement upon the prior model, the modified business model was only in place for less than two full years, but also proved to be unprofitable. It is for that reason, among others, that the Company designed and implemented a revised business model focusing on revenue share locations and to a lesser extent, sales of the race car simulators. This current business model has proved to be a great success as evidenced by the Companys financial performance in 2004 as compared to prior years. Nonetheless, Perfect Line has a limited operating history and is subject to numerous risks, expenses, problems, and difficulties typically encountered in establishing any business. For the 5 months ended December 31, 2001, Perfect Line had sales of $3,533,402, and a loss of $(719,854). For the year ended December 31, 2002, Perfect Line generated net sales of $9,636,278, resulting in a net loss of $2,189,220. As of December 31, 2003 and for the twelve months then ended, Perfect Line had net sales of $7,557,978 generating a net loss of $3,525,581. At December 31, 2004, the Company net sales of $5,769,104 generating a net loss of $1,235,419. This overall financial performance resulted in an accumulated deficit of $7,670,074 as of December 31, 2004 for the Company. Management believes the Company can maintain its profitability in the future, based upon revenues generated from owned and operated racing centers, revenue share locations, mobile leases and equipment sales. Despite the Companys obvious improvement in its financial performance in 2004, there can be no assurance that the Company will be profitable for fiscal 2005 or thereafter or that the Companys cash flow will allow it to continue to expand and fund its operations.
Dependence on Discretionary Consumer Spending and Competition
Much of the revenue anticipated by the Company will ultimately be the result of discretionary spending by consumers. If the current trepidation in the economy continues for an extended time or worsens, either overall or in the locations in which Company racing centers and revenue share sites are located, the amount of discretionary spending may be reduced which would have a negative effect on the Company results from operations and its financial position. In addition, if the popularity of NASCAR diminishes, it is likely that the Company will experience a similar reduction in simulator usage and merchandise sales that will have a negative impact on the Company and its future.
There is considerable competition for consumer entertainment dollars. The Company feels its patented technology, high-traffic, premium locations, licenses with NASCAR and various teams, drivers, and tracks combined with the NASCAR retail store-within-a-store concept create significant points of difference between its competitors and NSMS. However, there can be no assurance that these factors will be sufficient to assure successful product development into the marketplace.
20
Significant Capital Requirements and Need for Additional Financing
The Company will need financing in order to fund its growth under the revenue share model, and it needs to replace the revenue share income that was given up as a result of the recent asset sale of 34 simulators currently in revenue share sites to Race Car Simulation Corporation. As of March 1, 2005, the Company had built, or partially built, 189 simulators, of which 42 have been sold and shipped, 40 are in company owned and operated sites, and 75 are in active revenue share sites. The remaining 32 (17 refurbished and 15 new) are at the warehouse or at Elan being prepared to place into the current pipeline of contracted asset purchases or revenue share sites. It is also contemplated that some of the 75 simulators in current revenue share sites may be moved to more profitable revenue share or lease sites. As an example, the Company recently moved four simulators from the Cowboy Pizza site in Monterey, CA to the Great Lakes Mall site in Mentor, OH (Cowboy Pizza was unable to obtain the funding for the restaurant build-out at the site, and therefore did not meet minimum revenue share guarantees). Going forward, the business model calls for advances on asset purchases that will cover the manufacturing costs, and financing will be required to manufacture the revenue share simulators that will be owed by the Company and installed into a revenue share partners site.
Dependence on Revenue Share Partners For Timely Payments
The Company relies on the timely payments from its revenue share partners in order to meet operational cash flow needs. The Company has also made certain guarantees to Race Car Simulation Corporation of minimum levels of revenue share payments from the revenue share partners where the assets were sold to Race Car Simulation Corporation. At the year ending December 31, 2004, Checker Flag Lightning was behind on payments in the amount of $255,662, and the Company has been negotiating with CFL to resolve this issue amicably. At the time of this filing, no resolution had occurred.
Dependence on Updated Technology and Licenses/Leases
The Company will likely have a need to routinely update and upgrade its simulation technology. If the Company is not able to retain appropriate personnel with the skills and ability to maintain its simulators, it will likely have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company will also need to routinely upgrade the appearance of the simulators to closely approximate that of the then current NASCAR sponsors. This updating may involve significant time and expense and, in certain instances, require additional license agreements from new teams and/or sponsors. The Company will also need to renew existing licensing agreements with NASCAR teams and/or drivers. The Company currently has executed either contracts or term sheets with fourteen teams and/or drivers. The Company has established licensing relationships with a significant number of racetracks at which NASCAR events are held. The Company has license agreements with International Speedway Corp (ISC), Speedway Motorsports International (SMI) and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS), and has incorporated to date six NASCAR tracks into its proprietary software. The Company has the rights to many more prominent NASCAR tracks, and plans to add tracks to its software once funded. The Company has entered into an exclusive location based entertainment license agreement with NASCAR to utilize its logo. The license agreement permits the continued use of the NASCAR logo in the Las Vegas NASCAR Cafe and the Daytona USA simulator and provides that it is not a breach of the exclusivity clause for those two venues to continue to use their current simulator experiences. The license requires the Company to utilize its best efforts to maintain a minimum of eight entertainment stores. The Companys confidential licensing agreement with NASCAR required an annual royalty payment in 2002 and quarterly royalty payments commencing in 2003 through 2009 based on simulator, merchandise, food, beverage, sponsor, and remote site revenues at varying percentages. The licensing agreement was amended on December 31, 2004, and the Company was able to reduce its minimum royalty guarantees. The exclusivity is subject to a minimum guarantee by July of 2007, and the license is up for renewal on December 31, 2009.
21
Dependence on Small Number of Key Management Personnel
We do not have employment agreements with any of our employees. Our future success depends, in part, on the continued service of our key executive, management, and technical personnel. If key officers or employees are unable or unwilling to continue in their present positions, our business and our ability to raise capital could be harmed.
Our business is especially dependent upon the continued services of our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, William R. Donaldson. Should we lose the services of Mr. Donaldson, our operations will be negatively impacted. The loss of the services of Mr. Donaldson would have a material adverse effect upon our business.
Officers and Directors Have Limited Liability and Indemnification Rights
Our officers and directors are required to exercise good faith and high integrity in the management of our affairs. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, however, provide, that the officers and directors shall have no liability to the stockholders for losses sustained or liabilities incurred which arise from any transaction in their respective managerial capacities unless they violated their duty of loyalty, did not act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly violated the law, approved an improper dividend or stock repurchase, or derived an improper benefit from the transaction. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws also provide for us to indemnify our officers and directors against any losses or liabilities they may incur as a result of the manner in which they operate our business or conduct our internal affairs, provided that the officers and directors reasonably believe such actions to be in, or not opposed to, our best interests, and their conduct does not constitute gross negligence, misconduct or breach of fiduciary obligations.
Market and Capital Risks
Future issuance of Common Stock of the Company may lead to dilution in the value of our common stock, a reduction in shareholder voting power, and allow a change in control.
Stock issuances may result in reduction of market price of our outstanding shares of common stock. If we issue any additional shares of common or preferred stock, proportionate ownership of our common stock and voting power will be reduced. Further, any new issuance of common or preferred shares may prevent a change in our control or management.
Issuance of our preferred stock could depress the market value of current shareholders. We have 10,000,000 authorized shares of convertible preferred stock (with zero shares outstanding) that may be issued by action of our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors may designate voting control, liquidation, dividend and other preferred rights to preferred stock holders. Our Board of Directors authority to issue preferred stock without shareholder consent may have a depressive effect on the market value of our common stock. The issuance of preferred stock, under various circumstances, could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in our control or other take-over attempt and could adversely affect the rights of holders of our shares of common stock.
22
High-Risk Investment and Restrictions on Marketability
Our common stock has traded on the Over-the Counter Bulletin Board since August 2002. The bid price of our common stock has been less than $5.00 during this period. As such, we are subject to the penny stock rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission that require brokers to provide extensive disclosure to its customers prior to executing trades in penny stocks. These disclosure requirements may cause a reduction in the trading activity of our common stock.
Broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks are regulated by certain penny stock rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00. Penny stock rules require a broker dealer prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customers account. In addition, the penny stock rules generally require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock, the broker-dealer makes a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receives the purchasers written agreement to the transaction.
Because we are subject to the penny stock rules our shareholders may find it difficult to sell their shares.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Interactive Motorsports and Entertainment Corp. and Subsidiaries
Indianapolis, Indiana
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Interactive Motorsports and Entertainment Corp. and Subsidiaries, as of December 31, 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys 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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Interactive Motorsports and Entertainment Corp. and Subsidiaries, as of December 31, 2004, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles.
The Company has restated the consolidated financial statements to correct the Companys accounting for a borrowing transaction which is described in Note 15 to the financial statements.

INTERACTIVE MOTORSPORTS AND ENTERTAINMENT CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2004 and 2003
NOTE 1 - |
BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
Interactive Motorsports and Entertainment Corp was incorporated in Indiana and began operations on August 3, 2002. Perfect Line, Inc. was also incorporated in Indiana, and began operations on August 2, 2002.
Interactive Motorsports and Entertainment Corp, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Perfect Line, Inc. (the Company), (1) owns and operates three NASCAR Silicon Motor Speedway stores offering licensed NASCAR-branded entertainment products, (2) has ongoing revenue share agreements with third parties allowing them use of our NASCAR racing simulators and proprietary software, (3) sells its simulators and licenses its proprietary software to third parties, (4) leases its simulators and its proprietary software to third parties.. The cornerstone of the Companys revised business model includes the expansion of the revenue share base. In revenue sharing, the Company enters into an agreement whereby the Company is entitled to an agreed percentage of the revenue generated by the simulator, subject to a minimum due each month.
On March 18, 2004, the Company entered into agreement with Michigan based Checker Flag Lightning, LLC to convert seven of its nine corporate owned racing centers into revenue share stores. The agreement shifts the burden of occupancy and labor costs to Checker Flag, and guarantees the Company a minimum revenue share income for each site. As of December 31, 2004, six of the seven planned stores had been converted to revenue share sites.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
a. USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
b. SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATES
The most significant estimates made by management are determining the estimated useful lives of the fixed assets, determining the obsolescence of merchandise inventory, and assessing the realization of deferred tax benefits relating to the Companys net operating loss carry forwards.

NOTE 2 - |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) |
c. LONG-LIVED ASSETS
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by comparison of the carrying amount to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the related asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the assets. To date, no adjustments to the carrying amount of long-lived assets have been required.
d. MERCHANDISE INVENTORY
Merchandise inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market as determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The Company reduces the stated value of inventory for excess quantities or obsolescence in an amount equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual future demand or market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional reductions in stated value may be required.
e. MANUFACTURING INVENTORY
Manufacturing inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market as determined by the first-in, first-out method. These inventories consist of completed simulators that are ready to be installed in a site, as well as various components of our simulation system that have not been allocated to a specific site.
f. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
The Company records its property and equipment at cost and once in service, depreciates it using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective asset classes as follows:
Software 3 Years, Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment 5 to 7 Years
g. CONSTRUCTION IN PROGRESS
The Company records all costs associated with the acquisition of components and build out of new sites in Construction in Progress. Once the site build is completed, costs associated with the build are capitalized as Property and Equipment, and are depreciated as noted in paragraph (f) above.

h. DIVIDENDS
The Company has not paid any dividends and any dividends that may be paid in the future will depend upon the financial requirements of the Company and other relevant factors. The Company does not presently intend to pay dividends at any point in the foreseeable future.
i. CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2004 and 2003 include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned operating subsidiaries, Perfect Line, Inc. and Race Car Simulators. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
j. NET LOSS PER SHARE
The computation of net loss per share of common stock is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods presented. The Company calculates loss per share pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148 (SFAS 148), Earnings Per Share. Basic loss per share is computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding during each year. Diluted loss per share amounts assume conversion, exercise, or issuance of all potential common stock instruments (stock options, warrants and convertible preferred stock). Potentially dilutive securities including preferred stock, warrants and stock options are excluded from diluted loss per share during net loss periods because these securities would be anti-dilutive. The Company has excluded 14,598,945 of dilutive instruments at December 31, 2004.
k. INCOME TAXES
The Company provides for income taxes based on the liability method, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities measured using enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. At December 31, 2004, the Companys net deferred tax asset is fully offset by a valuation allowance.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) |
l. REVENUE RECOGNITION AND UNEARNED REVENUE
The Company recognizes revenue for its services at the time the services have been rendered. In the case of gift certificates and customer deposits for group events, these amounts are deferred and recognized when the associated services are rendered or upon expiration. During 2003 the Company began a program of selling some of its new or used simulators. The Company has received deposits of $1,573,978 relating to these sales. The Companys policy is to defer all revenue recognition associated with these sales until all terms of the contract have been met and no obligations remain for the Company to perform.
On December 31, 2004, the Company and its two subsidiaries entered into an agreement to sell 24 of its race car simulators and granted an option to purchase 10 additional simulators. The purchase price of $1,536,600 was paid in cash by the date of the agreement. In addition to transferring title to the simulators, the Company entered into a management agreement to provide services for the term of the contract and granted 5,161,500 common stock warrants which are exercisable for 5 years at $0.10 per warrant. The purchase agreement is being treated as a borrowing in accordance with the guidance provided in paragraphs 21-22 of the Statement of financial Accounting Standards No. 13 (SFAS 13). The purchase price is being amortized over a five year term with an annual rate of 15%^ for a $176,608 increase to revenue per quarter.
m. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all demand deposit balances and all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
n. CONCENTRATION OF RISK
The Company maintains a demand deposit account where the balance in the account may at times exceed the FDIC insurance limits of $100,000. At December 31, 2004, the amount exceeding the FDIC limit was $1,720,388.

Preferred Stock |
At June 30, 2002, Perfect Line placed with investors 4,745,456 shares of convertible preferred stock (the, Preferred Stock) for cash proceeds of $2,610,050 under a private placement memorandum dated May 10, 2002. These funds were to be held in escrow until the occurrence of certain events.. The proceeds of this offering were used to pay down debt and other liabilities and to provide working capital funds for the business. The Preferred Stock is mandatorily convertible one year after issuance into one share of Common Stock or one dollar worth of Common Stock as of the conversion date, as calculated by the 10-day trailing average of the bid and ask price prior to conversion, whichever is more favorable to the shareholder. On July 31, 2003 the Company entered into an agreement with one preferred shareholder which extended the conversion date to January 1, 2004. These shares were subsequently converted into 11,363,640 Common shares on January 29, 2004.

INCOME TAXES |
Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely that not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2004 and 2003
NOTE 10 - |
INCOME TAXES (Continued) |
At December 31, 2004, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $4,100,000 that may be offset against future taxable income from the year 2004 through 2024. No tax benefit has been reported in the December 31, 2004 financial statements since the potential tax benefit is offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.
Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carryforwards for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur, net operating loss carryforwards may be limited as to use in the future years.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS |
During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company adopted the following accounting pronouncements:
On December 16, 2004 the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, which is an amendment to SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. This new standard eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and generally requires such transactions to be accounted for using a fair-value-based method and the resulting cost recognized in our financial statements. This new standard is effective for awards that are granted, modified or settled in cash in interim and annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005. In addition, this new standard will apply to unvested options granted prior to the effective date. We will adopt this new standard effective for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2005, and have not yet determined what impact this standard will have on our financial position or results of operations.
In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costs - an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4. This Statement amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, Inventory Pricing, to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). Paragraph 5 of ARB 43, Chapter 4, previously stated that . . . under some circumstances, items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and rehandling costs may be so abnormal as to require treatment as current period charges. . . . This Statement requires that those items be recognized as current- period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of so abnormal. In addition, this Statement requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. This statement is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. Management does not believe the adoption of this Statement will have any immediate material impact on the Company.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (Continued) |
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 152, Accounting for Real Estate Time-sharing Transactions, which amends FASB statement No. 66, Accounting for Sales of Real Estate, to reference the financial accounting and reporting guidance for real estate time-sharing transactions that is provided in AICPA Statement of Position (SOP) 04-2, Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions. This statement also amends FASB Statement No. 67, Accounting for Costs and Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Projects, to state that the guidance for (a) incidental operations and (b) costs incurred to sell real estate projects does not apply to real estate time-sharing transactions. The accounting for those operations and costs is subject to the guidance in SOP 04-2. This Statement is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. Management believes the adoption of this Statement will have no impact on the financial statements of the Company.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No.153, Exchange of Nonmonetary Assets. This Statement addresses the measurement of exchanges of nonmonetary assets. The guidance in APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions, is based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. The guidance in that Opinion, however, included certain exceptions to that principle. This Statement amends Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. This Statement is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. Earlier application is permitted for nonmonetary asset exchanges incurred during fiscal years beginning after the date of this statement is issued. Management believes the adoption of this Statement will have no impact on the financial statements of the Company.
The implementation of the provisions of these pronouncements are not expected to have a significant effect on the Companys consolidated financial statement presentation.

NOTE 14 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On January 3, 2005, the Company reduced its indebtedness to Ropart Asset Management Fund, LLC by $200,000.
On February 2, 2005, the Company paid in full notes representing $260,000 of the 2004 notes per the terms of the note and option purchase agreement and security agreement dated February 2, 2005. Additionally, the Company and one noteholder agreed to extend the maturity date on its note to August 2, 2005. A second noteholder chose to deliver its note and exercise its stock option in lieu of payment of all but $16,000 (to be paid in cash) of the amount owed, per the terms of the notes. Collectively, these transactions will result in a balance of $146,000 on the 2004 Notes.
NOTE 15 - |
RESTATEMENT |
Company management made the decision to restate the Companys financials from the period beginning with Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004 in order to account for the transactions with Race Car Simulator Corporation (RCSC) as a borrowing rather than an asset purchase in accordance with the guidance provided in paragraphs 21-22 of the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13 (SFAS 13). Management has concluded that it made a misinterpretation of this technical accounting rule. In order to make a fair presentation of its financials in compliance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, the Company is revising its revenue recognition policy with respect to sales where the Company retains substantial risk of ownership as defined in SFAS 13.

December 31, 2004 and 2003
NOTE 15 - |
RESTATEMENT (Continued) |
SFAS 13, paragraph 21 states, The sale of property subject to an operating lease, or of a property that is leased by or intended to be leased by the third-party purchaser to another party, shall not be treated as a sale if the seller or any party related to the seller retains substantial risks of ownership in the leased property. The paragraph goes on to describe an example where, in the case of a default by lessee or termination of the lease, the arrangements may involve a commitment by the seller to substitute an existing lease or to secure a replacement lessee under a remarketing agreement. A remarketing agreement by itself shall not disqualify accounting for the transaction as a sale if the seller (a) will receive a reasonable fee commensurate with the effort involved at the time of securing a replacement lessee for the property and (b) is not required to give priority to the re-leasing of the property owned by the third party purchaser over similar property owned by the seller. In the case of the Companys Asset Purchase Agreements and Management Agreements with RCSC, Section 4.12 of the Asset Purchase Agreement provides RCSC, the Buyer, with a performance guarantee from the Company, the Seller, that Buyer shall receive at least the minimum guaranteed minimum payment amounts with respect to each Lease in effect on the date of the transaction. Since most of the Leases had terms of 3 years, the Company is considered to maintain significant risk during this guarantee period of time as defined in SFAS 13. Secondly, Section 1(a)(ii) of the Management Agreement between the Company and RCSC states that if any Simulators are not, at any time, being utilized to generate revenue for RCSC, the Company is obligated to place such Simulators into service under Leases with operators prior to placing any of its own Simulators into any such arrangements. Management has determined that the substantial risk under the Asset Purchase Agreements with RCSC is valid for a three year period since the risk of receiving ongoing minimum guarantees from the lease or revenue share agreements shifts to the Buyer after the three year period. Management has determined that the substantial risk under the Management Agreement is valid for a five year period since this is the expected time period for RCSCs Aggregate Investment Amount to reach zero as detailed in Section 4 (a) of the Management Agreement. Once the Aggregate Investment Amount has reached zero (five years at the minimum payment levels of the leases/revenue share agreements), then the Company is compensated with 75% of the aggregate cash payments received by RCSC from the leases/revenue share agreements. Under the guidance provided in SFAS 13, the risk shifts to the Buyer (RCSC) at this time since the Seller (the Company) is being reasonably compensated for the effort under the Management Agreement.
47
NOTE 15 - |
RESTATEMENT (Continued) |
Management has concluded that the because substantial risk, as defined within SFAS 13, exists during the five year period after the Asset Purchase Agreement and Management Agreement transactions with RCSC and that such risk shifts at the three and five year periods, the Companys transactions with RCSC on December 31, 2004 shall each be treated from an accounting standpoint as a borrowing rather than an asset sale, and has restated its financials during this period of time to reflect this change in accounting.
The discovery has prompted management to restate its 2004 financial statements to recognize a change in Net Income (Loss) through an adjustment to revenue from simulator sales.

ITEM 8. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
By letter dated March 15, 2004, Crowe Chizek and Company LLC (Crowe Chizek) informed the Company that it was notifying the Securities and Exchange Commission of its earlier termination of the client-auditor relationship between Crowe Chizek and the Company. That letter referred to the letter to the Company dated December 31, 2003 that effective December 31, 2003 Crowe Chizek terminated the client-auditor relationship with the Company. However, the Company continued to meet with and provide information to Crowe Chizek after receipt of the December 31, 2003 letter. The Company believed that Crowe Chizek had continuing interest in an auditor-client relationship with the Company and as recently as March 1, 2004 had held discussions with representatives of Crowe Chizek requesting continuation of the auditor-client relationship in connection with the audit for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003. It was not until the March 15, 2004 letter that the Company believed the relationship had ended.
The report of Crowe Chizek for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, the only year for which the Company was subject to the reporting provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and which Crowe Chizek served as auditors of the Company, contained a going concern uncertainty explanatory paragraph, but did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, or qualification as to audit scope or accounting principles.
48
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 and the periods up to and including December 31, 2003, there were no disagreements between the Company and Crowe Chizek on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Crowe Chizek, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report on the Companys consolidated statements for such periods; and there were no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1) of Regulation S-K.
The Company has provided Crowe Chizek with a copy of the information disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K which was filed with the Commission on March 18, 2004 and is incorporated herein by reference. Crowe Chizek provided the Company a letter dated March 18, 2004, for filing as an Exhibit to the Form 8-K which indicated. The letter stated, in essence, that Crowe Chizek did not disagree with the above disclosure, although it expressed no opinion as to what the Company believed as stated in the fourth and fifth sentences of the first paragraph of this Item 8.
Effective March 17, 2004, the Company engaged HJ & Associates, L.L.C. (HJ) of Salt Lake City, Utah, as its new independent accountant to audit the Companys financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003. The retention of HJ was reported on a current report on Form 8-K on March 19, 2003, which is incorporated herein by reference.
During the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2003 and the interim period up to and including March 17, 2004, neither the Company nor anyone acting on the Companys behalf consulted HJ regarding either: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either contemplated or proposed; to the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Companys financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided by HJ to the Company that HJ concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issues; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement as that term is describe in Item 304 (a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the related instruction to Item 304 of Regulation S-K, or a reportable event as that term is described in Item 304 (a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company has provided to HJ a copy of the disclosure regarding its retention as auditors to the Company, prior to filing of the Form 8-K reporting the retention. HJ informed the Company that it did not disagree with the disclosure contained in the Form 8-K which is substantially duplicated in the immediately proceeding paragraph of this Item 8.
ITEM 8A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
The Principal Executive Officer (PEO), who is also the Principal Financial Officer (PFO) of the Company, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the fiscal period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB/A. Except as noted below, based upon such evaluation, the PEO/PFO has concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed in this filing is accumulated and communicated to management and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported in a timely manner and in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations.
Management's Consideration of the Restatement
Management considered the impact on the Company's internal control over financial reporting of the restatement related to the sale of simulators to a third party where the company retains substantial risk as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13 (SFAS 13) which is more fully described in Note 15 of the Notes to the Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB/A. Initially, Management considered the risk associated with the asset purchase agreement to be insignificant and immaterial, and therefore, did not warrant disclosure. Management has determined that its assumption of the inherent risk to the Company associated with the management agreement as related to this restatement was subject to ones interpretation of the rules as stated by
49
SFAS 13. This interpretation by Management did not compromise the effectiveness of the Companys internal controls. After extensive review and consideration with independent sources concerning this highly technical accounting rule, any changes in internal controls were not necessary. Upon further review of this agreement and the stipulations set forth in SFAS 13, Management has determined that, under an accounting viewpoint, there is some risk and disclosure is required to be in compliant with General Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). After extensive discussions with the Companys independent auditors and counsel, Management has concluded that it made a misinterpretation of this technical accounting rule. In order to make a fair presentation of its financials in compliance with GAAP, the Company is revising its revenue recognition policy with respect to sales where the Company retains substantial risk of ownership as defined in SFAS 13.
(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
Management has concluded that when substantial risk, as defined within SFAS 13, exists within an Asset Purchase Agreement and Management Agreement, the transaction will be treated from an accounting standpoint as a borrowing rather than an asset sale. The Company has adopted this change in accounting procedure beginning with this Form 10-KSB/A for the year ended December 31, 2004. Other than the change in accounting procedure relating to the borrowing, there have been no other changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting.

The Company has no standing or separate audit committee, but rather the entire Board of Directors functions as the audit committee, The Board of Directors has determined that due to the size of the board of directors, and the limited resources of the Company, it is in the Companys best interest to have the entire board function as the audit committee.
Our Executive Officers are elected by the Board on an annual basis and serve at the discretion of the Board.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Based solely on our review of such forms furnished to us and representations from certain reporting persons, filing requirements applicable to our executive officers, directors and more than 10% stockholders have been complied with during the twelve months ending December 31, 2004 with the exception of James Matheny, who has failed to file a Form 3, Initial Statement of Beneficial Ownership, reporting their ownership of in excess of 10% of the issued and outstanding voting shares of the Company.

PRE-APPROVAL POLICY FOR AUDIT AND NON-AUDIT SERVICES
The Company does not have a standing audit committee, and the full Board performs all functions of an audit committee, including the pre-approval of all audit and non-audit services before the Company engages an accountant. All of the services rendered to the Company by HJ & Associates, LLC after March 18, 2004 were pre-approved by the Board of Directors of the Company.
The Company is contemplates working with its legal counsel to establish formal pre-approval policies and procedures for future engagements of the Companys accountants. The new policies and procedures will be detailed as to the particular service, will require that the Board or an audit committee thereof be informed of each service, and will prohibit the delegation of pre-approval responsibilities to management. It is currently anticipated that the Companys new policy will provide (i) for an annual pre-approval, by the Board or audit committee, of all audit, audit-related and non-audit services proposed to be rendered by the independent auditor for the fiscal year, as specifically described in the auditors engagement letter, and (ii) that additional engagements of the auditor, which were not approved in the annual pre-approval process, and engagements that are anticipated to exceed previously approved thresholds, will be presented on a case-by-case basis, by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, for pre-approval by the Board or audit committee, before management engages the auditors for any such purposes. The new policy and procedures may authorize the Board or audit committee to delegate, to one or more of its members, the authority to pre-approve certain permitted services, provided that the estimated fee for any such service does not exceed a specified dollar amount (to be determined). All pre-approvals shall be contingent on a finding, by the Board, audit committee, or delegate, as the case may be, that the provision of the proposed services is compatible with the maintenance of the auditors independence in the conduct of its auditing functions. In no event shall any non-audit related service be approved that would result in the independent auditor no longer being considered independent under the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
There were no fees in 2004 which were not pre-approved by the Board of Directors. All services described above under the captions Audit Fees, Audit Related Fees and Tax Fees were approved by the Board of Directors pursuant to SEC Regulation S-X, Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i).
