Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Autocorp Equities, Inc.
Note 1. Business and Accounting Policies
Autocorp Equities, Inc. (the Company) and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Lenders
Liquidation Centers, Inc., Consumer Investment Corporation and Consumer
Insurance Services, Inc. operated six sales lots for pre-owned vehicles in
Arizona and New Mexico.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 1998 and June 30, 1997
and the consolidated statements of operations and the consolidated statements of
cash flows for the quarters and periods shown were prepared by the Company
without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to
present fairly the financial position, results of operations and changes in cash
flows at March 31, 1998 and for all periods shown have been made.
Inventory
Inventory includes the original costs of the vehicle on an historic basis plus
and reconditioning costs and flooring costs associated with that vehicle.
Inventory is maintained on a specific identification basis of accounting.
Net Earnings (Loss)
Net loss per share is computed upon the weighted average number of shares
outstanding during the period.
2. Prepaid Advertising
The prepaid advertising consists of $800,000 of media due bills which were
exchanged for prepaid rent in 1994. The credits expire on July 2004 and are
usable on the American Independent Network. A valuation allowance of $400,000
has been recorded as an offset to this asset.
3. Austin Note Receivable/Payable
In January 1998 the Company sold to its former president and corporate secretary
the car lots it owned in Austin, Texas. The Company received back all of the
president's and corporate secretary's stock plus received a note for the amount
that it previously owed on the Austin lots. This transaction netted the Company
approximately $470,000 in equity enhancement.

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
The Company operates a used motor vehicle sales and finance business. Autocorp
presently operates six (6) used motor vehicle dealerships through its subsidiary
Lenders Liquidation Centers, Inc. ("LLC") dba "Lenders Auto Resale Centers".
Through its subsidiary Consumer Investment Corporation ("CIC"), the Company
underwrites, finances and services installment sales contracts generated by its
own financing and vehicle sales operations. CIC concentrates on financing
vehicles purchased by sub-standard credit purchasers, i.e. persons with low
incomes and credit problems. The Company also operates an insurance company
through its subsidiary Consumer Insurance Services, Inc. ("CIS") formed to
provide all of the finance and insurance products and services used by LLC
operations.
The following discussion of the operations and financial condition should be
read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements and notes thereto
appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-QSB.
Liquidity and Capital Resources:
At March 31, 1998, the Company had total assets of $6,547,522 and total
stockholders equity of $(2,388,877). At March 31, 1997 the Company had assets of
$3,249,999 and total stockholders equity of $(325,255). The Company continues to
experience a liquidity problem. Historically the Company's working capital needs
have been satisfied through financing activities primarily consisting of the
sale of shares of the Company's Common Stock.
As of March 31, 1998 the Company's current position was $(654,271). This
negative current position has limited the growth the Company has desired.
Pursuant to an October 21, 1997 Offering Circular, the Company is currently
converting debt from promissory notes to equity in the form of restricted common
stock. During the quarter the Company converted $1,298,740 of note holders into
stockholders. This conversion has helped reduce the amount of interest due in
the future on the converted securities.
The Company anticipates meeting its working capital needs during the current
quarter primarily with proceeds resulting from the private placement of Company
securities and a small profit which the Company expects to generate. The Company
will seek to borrow and/or raise such funds through the private or public sale
of its Common Stock. No assurances can be given that such financing will be
available or that it can be obtained on terms satisfactory to the Company. If
the Company is
<PAGE>
unable to secure financing from the sale of its securities or from private
lenders, management believes that the Company will be unable to continue with
its current business plan. In the opinion of management, inflation has not had a
material effect on the operations of the Company.
During the next twelve months the Company will stress the acquisition of
existing automotive related businesses. The Company is currently contemplating
undertaking a new offering of its debt and/or equity securities in order to
achieve its business objectives over the next twelve months. Unless the Company
is able to raise additional capital from borrowing or the sale of corporate debt
and/or equity securities, the Company will encounter a shortage of capital to
accomplish its business objectives.
Results of Operations:
Included herein are unaudited financial statements of the Company covering the
three month period ended March 31, 1998. The Company had a net loss for the
quarter of $302,562 compared to the two previous quarters in which the Company
had a net loss of $3,740,045. In January 1998, the Company replaced its
Co-Chairman and CEO resulting in a substantial turnaround in Company
performance. This improved performance is also the result of the Company making
substantial personnel and system changes coupled with a sharp reduction in
overhead expenses. These efforts have resulted in a net gross profit for the
quarter and the first profitable month in Company history for the month of
March. Expenses of the months of January and February were such that the Company
still had a loss in those months. The Company expects to generate a net income
for the final quarter of the fiscal year. The Company expects to show a loss for
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1998.
