November 1, 2007 CEO Corner
Warm Greetings from everyone at MBA Holdings, Inc. in Scottsdale,
Arizona. It may be
getting cold in the upper U.S. but weather is still going good in
the South West. Let all
say a prayer for the people in Southern California and the fires. As I
told you in the last report,
Mechanical Breakdown Administrators, Inc. has been busy working on
several new automobile warranties, including new programs for
Motorcycles and R.V.’s, and we have completed the Motorcycle
Warranty Program and are in the Marketing Phase.
Still working on the RV and New Auto Programs, we have been
approached by several International Insurance Companies to work with
them and design a new warranty program for the United States Market.
Also we were very close
to completing the entire redoing of our accounting process and
procedures, complete with a new accounting and audit staff and I am
happy to report that that goal is almost completed and will be in
November 2007. Also:
It is our goal to reapply for Bulletin Board status and get
approved by late 2007 or early 2008, and this goal is still on
track.
Extended Warranty Business has been steady for 2007 for our auto and
recreational vehicle business, with large profitability gains on
retrospective earnings and investment income, which takes many years
of hard work to produce.
We are forming new partnerships with agents, administrators
and insurance companies in the US to increase our business.
But we have also gained ground with the New Motorcycle
Warranty Program from U. S. Warranty.
We are looking forward to the spring motorcycle season to
start in 2008
I also stated that: A
new store is projected to open in Charleston, S.C., Coeur D’ Alene,
Id. area, and
Houston, Texas in
August 2007. We opened Charleston, but the Coeur D’ Alene, Id., has
been postponed until spring 2008, and the Houston Owner was injured
in a motorcycle accident and it looks like it will be spring before
he will have his new store open.
We did open two stores in Las Vegas, NV, but Miami/Miami
Beach has been delayed by the owner and Oceanside and San Diego,
California,
plus
Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona locations are projected to open in
Spring 2008. We still have several other potential stores in Ohio,
Pennsylvania, D.C., N.H., and the Boston areas, additional stores in
Texas, Florida and California are very close.
The Northeast United
States has a lot of motorcycle rental prospects and we feel we will
get stores open in the spring of 2008, I spent a great deal of time
in the Northeast in August of 2007 with store owners and feel good
about the results.
NMDA:
The National Motorcycle
Dealer Association has many new programs that will be coming on line
in the next six months and we are pleased with the progress the NMDA
has made in the last six months, membership is up, we have added
several new programs and that will be announced before the end of
the first quarter of 2008, they include a new nationwide retail
financing program for Motorcycles, Auto and RV Dealers to aid
Dealers in the financing of their retail customers.
We are currently marketing to every Motorcycle
Dealer in the United States to use our new finance program with
great results. Other
New Insurance programs are a new Motorcycle Dealer Warranty program
that we are rolling out across the United States, our programs are
stimulating dealers to join the NMDA and take advantage of our
services.
Motorcycle Rental:
Street Eagle and all the rental company websites are being
redesigned. Street Eagle has and is opening several new stores in
the United States and our plans are to open at least ten additional
stores in the U.S. and five in Mexico in 2008.
We have added several new features to the Street Eagle Rental
Company including a New Logo
and marketing materials for 2008, a new advertising program,
accessory programs for our rental stores for leather products,
T-Shirts, Helmets, and a web based parts system for our dealers and
rental dealers.
But we are most proud of is a brand new motorcycle rental software
system that is being rolled out to the rental stores at this time,
it is one of the strongest and most reliable systems in the rental
area and includes a large catalog of business reports, tracking of
customers and the ability to run and track multiple stores.
Also new web enabled rental marketing materials.
We just completed our participation in the Phoenix Motorcycle Show
on October 26, 27, and 28th with great exposure to the
public , dealer attendees and motorcycle manufacturers that attended
the show, and we will have some big announcements in the future
about the rental program.
We will be attending the Indy Motorcycle Show and Cincinnati
Motorcycle Show in 2008, as well as the Daytona Bike Week, Arizona
Bike Week, Laughlin
River Run and Myrtle
Beach Bike Week plus others.
We are looking forward to the spring motorcycle season to start in
2008, next report January 31, 2008
Thank you, and Happy Holidays to you all.
