The factors that affect the industry change rapidly and can be unforeseeable.

Item 1.  Description of Business

Company Overview:
Las Vegas Railway Express, Inc.  (the “Company”, formerly“we”, “us”, or “our”) was formed as a Delaware corporation in March 9, 2007 as Corporate Outfitters, Inc., a development stage company whose business plan involved establishing itself as a specialized brand promotional merchandising company. On November 3, 2008, pursuant to a common stock purchase agreement, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Liberty Capital Asset Management. In connection with the acquisition, the Company changed its name to Liberty Capital Asset Management, Inc,Inc. and changed its business plan to one of acquiring pools of non-performing loans and restructuring the financial parameters such that the defaulted borrower can return to making payments in a publicly traded Delaware Corporation, istimely manner. On January 21, 2010, the Company acquired all of the assets of Las Vegas Railway Express, a Nevada corporation. In connection with the acquisition, the Company changed its name to Las Vegas Railway Express, Inc. and changed its business development company whoseplan to one of developing passenger rail transportation and ancillary ticketing and reservation services between the Los Angeles area and Las Vegas, Nevada.
Company Overview
The Company’s plan is to re-establishestablish a conventionalrail passenger train service between the Las Vegas and Los Angeles metropolitan areas.using existing railroad lines currently utilized by two Class I railroads, Burlington Northern and Union Pacific. The development concept is to provide a Las Vegas style experience on the train (which we plan to call the “X” Train), which would traverse the planned route in approximately 5:305 hours. We plan to operate a single travel route marketed primarily to a leisure traveler from the Southern California basin  enabling us to sell rail travel as a stand-alone operation with hotel rooms and other travel related services. Our unique travel option will offer a diversified product that will set us apart from travel related options of automobile and air.
The Company is in discussions with both the Union Pacific Railroad and the BNSF Railway seeking to secure rail trackage rights agreements. The Company has reached a preliminary agreement with Union Pacific Railroad awaiting finalization of the BNSF agreement and certain capital planning issues. An updated capacity planning and feasibility analysis has substantially been completed for Union Pacific and is in final discussion with BNSF. A series of passenger railcars has been negotiated to be acquired under an agreement with Transportation Management Services.  The Company has executed a Memorandum of Understanding (or MOU) with the Plaza Hotel as a Las Vegas station site and has a similar pending agreement with the City of Fullerton for use of that station for the Los Angeles terminus of the service. The Company has executed an MOU with AMTRAK outlining duties and responsibilities of each party.
The Company estimates that it will need to obtain $35MM in additional capital to begin operations of our train service. The Company intends to seek to raise these funds through the public or private sale of equity and/or debt securities. There is no assurance such funding will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all. If the Company succeeds in raising such funds, it intends to use them for   railcar purchase, design, refurbishment and outfitting, Las Vegas depot design and construction, lease payments, UP and BNSF mileage fees, salaries and other professional fees and also information technology and corporate infrastructure development. Subject to obtaining needed funding, the Company estimates that the train service will start in 3rd quarter of 2013.
Prior to commencing operations of the train service, the Company will also need to secure all of the above agreements with Union Pacific Railroad and BNSF. Additionally, we will have to finalize our haulage agreement with Amtrak.

The Company’s common stock is currently quoted on the OTCBB under the symbol XTRN. The company website is www.vegasxtrain.com. The contents of this site are not incorporated in this Memorandum.

The Company maintains offices at 6650 Via Austi Parkway, Suite 170, Las Vegas, Nevada 89119.  
Marketplace
There has been no regular passenger rail service between these two demographic areas for 13 years. The only major highway between Los Angeles and Las Vegas is Interstate 15 (I-15). Over 12 million people travel this corridor from LA to Las Vegas every year and as the LA population grows, so will the traffic on this highway. The forecast for traffic on I-15 is expected to be 17 million by 2030. It is congested and becoming increasingly so, with motor vehicle travelers experiencing substantial delays during peak travel times (e.g., Friday and Sunday afternoons to 6 hours or more). With increasing fuel costs, increasingly restrictive highway capacity, and reduced air travel from LA to Las Vegas, a rail transportation product with a Vegas motif, is a viable alternative.

The Southern California traveler represents a third of all visitors to Las Vegas and 95% of these travelers use their automobile to travel to Las Vegas. If we capture 237,000 of these drivers (2.0% of the total marketplace) in Year 1, it will fill our product to its initial capacity and achieve profitability with additional capacity being added through Year 5.

Travel from Southern California to Las Vegas constitutes a major portion of visitor activity and is a financial foundation for the economy of the Las Vegas region. About a third of all Vegas visitors are Californians, according to a survey by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority in 2010. Statistics collected by the Center for Business and Economic Research at UNLV show that of 44.5 million annual visitors that drove into the Las Vegas Valley in 2010, 27% arrived from Southern California.

Products and Services

Class 1 Railroad Access

The Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad and the Union Pacific Railroad are the two largest Class 1 railroads in the United States and own the railroad right of way between Los Angeles, California and Las Vegas, Nevada, where we plan to have the “X” Train operate its service. The first step in allowing any passenger train service along their infrastructure is the completion of capacity planning and logistics studies in order for the Class I railroads to align the introduction of passenger service with their existing freight business.  Final scheduling of the “X” Train time slot will be finalized by the third quarter of 2012.



AMTRAK

We entered into an arrangement with AMTRAK in September 2009 in connection with our goal of reinstating passenger rail service on the Las Vegas/Los Angeles rail corridor. AMTRAK had planned, but abandoned the service when their Federal funding did not materialize in 2006. We then began negotiations with AMTRAK to take over their position to run service on the route. Now, almost 3 years later, we have executed with AMTRAK the first of several agreements on this route and they have agreed to provide  locomotive engineers, conductors, train servicing, maintenance, ticketing services, and a host of other services associated with the operations of The “X” Train.

Train Operations

The proposed route of The “X” Train is approximately 300 miles with the end points being Fullerton, California and then direct to Las Vegas, Nevada, The railroad Rights-of-Way (ROW) over which passenger train service could operate between Las Vegas and Los Angeles, California include privately and publicly owned segments. The privately-held portions are owned either by BNSF Railway (BNSF) or by Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR).

Las Vegas Railway Express, Inc. has negotiated a trackage rights agreement with Union Pacific Railroad allowing our “X” Train access to their portion of our route. This agreement from Union Pacific Railroad is pending execution subject to the concurrence of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad by 3rd quarter of 2012.

Our agreements with the owners of the track where our route will travel and our willingness to pay the owners a competitive market rate gives our “X” Train the status needed to meet our scheduled travel times. In railroad terms, the owners of the track will allow our “X” Train to pass slower and longer freight trains by moving to the numerous sidings along the route. Further, such track owners will ensure immediate  maintenance of any and all track maintenance and other services that we would rely on for prompt and safe service.

In addition, the Class 1 railroads seekinghave completed their capacity planning analysis . These projects are performed by the railroad companies and include a specific time and destination study of the exact consist we will be running on the proposed existing rail infrastructure in our route..
Haulage Agreements

Our agreement with AMTRAK would provide us with trained T&E crews, consulting and inspection services during design, development and construction and daily inspections services to secureensure safe and reliable operations. In addition to the stated services, our agreement and operating partnership would bring the following strengths:

Experience in operating passenger rail service
Existing contracts with Class I railroads
Liability insurance caps
Experienced crew and maintenance teams
Established ticketing infrastructure on- line for cross marketing opportunities
Established relationships with host railroads

AMTRAK will not be involved in any customer service operations related to our stated customer service standards.

Fullerton Station

As the Los Angeles departure and arrival points of our service, Fullerton was chosen for a number of reasons.

Within 26 miles from LA
Located in the sixth largest population county in the United States
Links to Los Angeles County via public roads, bus and rail routes
Very affluent
Tourism-centric
Connection to MetroLink services where there are over 15,000 daily boarding’s with easy connection to Union Station passengers
Strategic marketing and ridership partnership opportunities with MetroLink
Proximity to Disneyland for Las Vegas marketing efforts

Las Vegas Station

Our Las Vegas arrival statement will be located within the Downtown Las Vegas gaming and resort district boarding and connected to the recently remodeled Plaza Hotel and Casino. Adjacent to Union Pacific’s main line and Symphony Plaza, our re-modeled station (formally AMTRAK’s Las Vegas station for its Dessert Wind) was chosen for:

Its parking and local transportation ease of ingress and egress
Location along the Union Pacific Railroad mainline
10 minutes from over 150,000 hotel rooms
Impact of ridership views along the famous Las Vegas “Strip”
Strategic alliances with Fremont Street Experience, Downtown Redevelopment Agency and Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Agency
Low cost proximity to traveling staff accommodations


 

These are examples of specifications and drawing disclosures of the train and station concept that will help you understand what constitutes a complete design of the train, which are provided as examples only.  Actual designs will vary from these illustrations.

Our Business Strategy

Capture And Divert Current Automobile Travelers.  95% of the 12,000,000 annual visitors from the Southern California/Los Angeles market drive to Las Vegas. In order to fill the initial “X” Train, we need only to divert/convert 237,000 from their car to the train or just 2.0% of the total annual drivers. The two demographic areas have significantly grown their population bases without the needed automobile infrastructure growing with it. 95% of all Las Vegas travelers from the Southern California basin drive to Las Vegas using the I-15 corridor.
Operating Partnerships with Host Railroads to Deliver on Time Performance.  Our agreements and our ability to pay a “market rate” with the two host railroad companies will be designed to ensure we and they will have no issues with their freight business and that they will ensure a high on-time result.
Operating Partnerships with Los Angeles based commuter Rail services. Metrolink.  The “X” Train is leveraging various relationships in the Los Angeles Metro area and one of them is the co- marketing plan with Metrolink. Metrolink operates commuter passenger rail service in the greater Los Angeles metro area and services over 12 million riders annually. Metrolink has 55 local train stations which share the same right of way and/or connect to X Train planned station at  Fullerton, California. By joint venturing a marketing plan with Metrolink, “X” Train gains access to its ridership for travel to Las Vegas.
Metrolink is looking to expand its weekend ridership and the “X” Train is a viable candidate. Discussions have already begun with Metrolink towards forging a joint marketing and operations plan for “X” Train to have access to the 55 stations in the Metrolink network.
Capacity Management.  We plan to start out with two (2) roundtrips a week. We anticipate that our capacity will be nearly 1,200 passengers a day. If demand fluctuates, we anticipate that we will have the ability to add or subtract cars to meet the demands of each day. In year 2 of our Business Plan we plan to add two additional trains to our schedule and by year 5 we anticipate having 10 trains running on this route.
Low Operating Costs.Most transportation travel companies have very high fixed and variable costs associated with operating their businesses and can comprise up to 70% of all of their operating costs.  Our model projects a stabilized cost associated with hauling our train comprised of negotiated rates with the host railroads. Corporate overhead is minimal.
Competition

Las Vegas Railway Express’ “X” Train will have no conventional passenger rail service competing against our product. The 2012 Nevada State Rail Plan (www.nvrailplan.com) reviewed all the proposals for rail services agreements. The Company has hired Transportation Management Services, Inc. for the procurement of 20 bi-level railcarsyear and locomotives. The planned service is targeting a start date for late 2012. On January 21, 2010, the Company completed a share exchange and asset purchase agreement with Las Vegas Railway Express, a Nevada Corporation, and subsequently changed its name from Liberty Capital Asset Management, Inc. to Las Vegas Railway Express, Inc.was among the recommended projects.

Las Vegas Railway Express, Inc., Liberty Capital Asset Management, Inc.  (the “Company”) was formed in March 9, 2007 as Corporate Outfitters, a development stage company on November 3, 2008 with a share exchange, asset purchase agreement The Company acquired Liberty Capital Asset Management, a Nevada corporation, formed in July of 2008 as a holding company for all the assets of CD Banc LLC in contemplation of the company going public via a reverse merger into a publicly trading corporation.There are two proposed high speed rail alternatives:

Item 1A.  Risk Factors

Risk Factors

Investing in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below with all of the other information included in this prospectus before making an investment decision. If any of the possible adverse events described below actually occurs, our business, results of operations or financial condition would likely suffer. In such an event, the market price of our Common Stock could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment.

We have a history of losses and a large accumulated deficit and we may not be able to achieve profitability in the future.
We have net losses of $1,820,113 and $1,791,983 for the years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. As of March 31, 2012, we have an accumulated deficit of $11,623,612.  There can be no assurance that we will be profitable in the future. If we are not profitable and cannot obtain sufficient capital we may have to cease our operations.
 
Changes in government policy could negatively impact demand for the Company’s services, impair its ability to price its services or increase its costs or liability exposure.
 
Changes in United States and foreign government policies could change the economicmacroeconomic environment and affect demand for the Company’s services. Developments and changes in laws and regulations as well as increased economic regulation of the rail industry through legislative action and revised rules and standards applied by the U.S. Surface Transportation Board in various areas, including rates, services and access to facilities could adversely impact the Company’s ability to determine prices for rail services and significantly affect the revenues, costs and profitability of the Company’s business. Additionally, because of the significant costs to maintain its rail network, an increase in expenditures related to the maintenance of the rails owned by the Class I railroads could hinder the Company’s ability to maintain, improve or expand the rail network, facilities and equipment in order to accept or handle our Company’s increased demand. Federal or state spending on infrastructure improvements or incentives that favor other modes of transportation could also adversely affect the Company’s revenues.
 
The Company’s success depends on its ability to continue to comply with the significant federal, state and local governmental regulations to which it is subject.
 
The Company is subject to a significant amount of governmental laws and regulation with respect to its and practices, taxes, railroad operations and a variety of health, safety, labor, environmental and other matters. Failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on the Company. Governments may change the legislative and/or regulatory framework within which the Company operates without providing the Company with any recourse for any adverse effects that the change may have on its business. Federal legislation enacted in 2008 mandates the implementation of positive train control technology by December 31, 2015, on certain mainline track where intercity and commuter passenger railroads operate and where toxic-by-inhalation hazardous materials are transported. This type of technology is new and deploying it across our host railroad’srailroads’ infrastructure may pose significant operating and implementation risks and could require significant capital expenditures.
 
As part of the Class I railroad operations, the Company will traverse rails that frequently transports chemicals and other hazardous materials, which could expose it to the risk of significant claims, losses and penalties.
 
The “host” or Class I railroads are required to transport these commodities to the extent of its common carrier obligation. An accidental release of these commodities could result in a significant loss of life and extensive property damage as well as environmental remediation obligations. The associated costs could have an adverse effect on the Company’s operating results, financial condition or liquidity. In addition, insurance premiums charged for some or all of the coverage currently maintained by the Company could increase dramatically or certain coverage may not be available to the Company in the future if there is a catastrophic event related to rail transportation of these commodities.

Downturns in the economy could adversely affect demand for the Company’s services.
 
Significant, extended negative changes in domestic and global economic conditions that impact the customers transported by the Company and may have an adverse effect on the Company’s operating results, financial condition or liquidity. Declines in , economic growth and the United States travel industry all could result in reduced revenues in one or more business units.
 
Negative changes in general economic conditions could lead to disruptions in the credit markets, increase credit risks and could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition or liquidity.
 
Challenging economic conditions may not only affect revenues due to reduced demand for many goods and services, but could result in payment delays and increased credit risk and possible bankruptcies of customers.risk. Railroads are capital-intensive and may need to finance a portion of the building and maintenance of infrastructure as well as locomotives and other rail equipment. Economic slowdowns and related credit market disruptions may adversely affect the Company’s cost structure, its timely access to capital to meet financing needs and costs of its financings. The Company could also face increased counterparty risk for its cash investments, its derivative arrangements and access to its credit facility. Adverse economic conditions could also affect the Company’s costs for insurance or its ability to acquire and maintain adequate insurance coverage for risks associated with the railroad business if insurance companies experience credit downgrades or bankruptcies. Declines in the securities and credit markets could also affect the Company’s pension fund and railroad retirement tax rates, which in turn could increase funding requirements.
 
5


The Company is subject to stringent environmental laws and regulations, which may impose significant costs on its business operations.
 
The Company’s operations are subject to extensive federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations concerning, among other things, emissions to the air; discharges to waters; the generation, handling, storage, transportation and disposal of waste and hazardous materials; and the cleanup of hazardous material or petroleum releases. Changes to or limits on carbon dioxide emissions could result in significant capital expenditures to comply with these regulations with respect to the Company’s diesel locomotives, equipment, vehicles and machinery and its maintenance yards.  Emission regulations could also adversely affect fuel efficiency and increase operating costs. Further, local concerns on emissions and other forms of pollution could inhibit the Company’s ability to build facilities in strategic locations to facilitate growth and efficient operations. In addition, many land holdings are and have been used for industrial or transportation-related purposes or leased to commercial or industrial companies whose activities may have resulted in discharges onto the property. Environmental liability can extend to previously owned or operated properties, leased properties and properties owned by third parties, as well as to properties currently owned and used by the Company. Environmental liabilities have arisen and may continue to arise from claims asserted by adjacent landowners or other third parties in toxic tort litigation. The Company’s subsidiaries have been and may continue to be subject to allegations or findings to the effect that they have violated, or are strictly liable under, these laws or regulations. The Company’s operating results, financial condition or liquidity could be adversely affected as a result of any of the foregoing, and it may be required to incur significant expenses to investigate and remediate environmental contamination.
 
Fuel supply availability and fuel prices may adversely affect the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
 
Fuel supply availability could be impacted as a result of limitations in refining capacity, disruptions to the supply chain, rising global demand and international political and economic factors. A significant reduction in fuel availability could impact the Company’s ability to provide transportation services at current levels, increase fuel costs and impact the economy. Each of these factors could have an adverse effect on the Company’s operating results, financial condition or liquidity. If the price of fuel increases substantially, the Company expects tomay be able to offset a significant portion of these higher fuel costs through a fuel surcharge program or increase in ticket prices. However, to the extent that the Company is unable to maintain, expand and ultimately collect under its existing fuel surcharge program, increasesprices, which may result in fuel prices could have an adverse effect on the Company’s operating results, financial condition or liquidity.loss of customers.
 
Severe weather and natural disasters could disrupt normal business operations, which would result in increased costs and liabilities and decreases in revenues.
 
The Company’s success iswill be dependent on its ability to operate its railroad system efficiently. Severe weather and natural disasters, such as tornados, flooding and earthquakes, could cause significant business interruptions and result in increased costs and liabilities and decreased revenues. In addition, damages to or loss of use of significant aspects of the Company’s infrastructure due to natural or man-made disruptions could have an adverse effect on the Company’s operating results, financial condition or liquidity for an extended period of time until repairs or replacements could be made. Additionally, during natural disasters, the Company’s workforce may be unavailable, which could result in further delays. Extreme swings in weather could also negatively affect the performance of locomotives and rolling stock.
 
 
610

 

The Company’s operational dependencies may adversely affect results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
 
Due to the integrated nature of the United States’ freight transportation infrastructure, the Company’s operations may be negatively affected by service disruptions of other entities such as ports and other railroads which interchange with the Company and its Class I railroad partners. A significant prolonged service disruption of one or more of these entities could have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
 
Acts of terrorism or war, as well as the threat of war, may cause significant disruptions in the Company’s business operations.
 
Terrorist attacks and any government response to those types of attacks and war or risk of war may adversely affect the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or liquidity. The Company’s use of the Class I railroad rail lines and facilities could be direct targets or indirect casualties of an act or acts of terror, which could cause significant business interruption and result in increased costs and liabilities and decreased revenues, which could have an adverse effect on operating results and financial condition. Such effects could be magnified if releases of hazardous materials are involved. Any act of terror, retaliatory strike, sustained military campaign or war or risk of war may have an adverse impact on the Company’s operating results and financial condition by causing unpredictable operating or financial conditions, including disruptions of our host railroads or connecting rail lines, loss of critical customers or partners, volatility or sustained increase of fuel prices, fuel shortages, general economic decline and instability or weakness of financial markets. In addition, insurance premiums charged for some or all of the coverage currently maintained by the Company could increase dramatically, the coverage available may not adequately compensate it for certain types of incidents and certain coverage’s may not be available to the Company in the future.
 
The Company depends on the stability and availability of its information technology systems.
 
The Company relies on information technology in all aspects of its business. A significant disruption or failure of its information technology systems could result in service interruptions, revenue collections, safety failures, security violations, regulatory compliance failures and the inability to protect corporate information assets against intruders or other operational difficulties. Although the Company has taken steps to mitigate these risks, a significant disruption could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or liquidity. Additionally, if the Company is unable to acquire or implement new technology, it may suffer a competitive disadvantage, which could also have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
 
The Company is subject to various claims and lawsuits, and increases in the amount or severity of these claims and lawsuits could adversely affect the Company’s operating results, financial condition and liquidity.
 
As part of its railroad operations, the Company’s Class I railroad partners are exposed to various claims and litigation related to commercial disputes, personal injury, property damage, environmental liability and other matters. Personal injury claims by our employees and those of the host railroads are subject to the Federal Employees’ Liability Act (FELA), rather than state workers’ compensation laws. The Company believes that the FELA system, which includes unscheduled awards and a reliance on the jury system, can contribute to increased expenses. Other proceedings include claims by third parties for punitive as well as compensatory damages, and a few proceedings purport to be class actions. Developments in legislative and judicial standards, material changes to litigation trends, or a catastrophic rail accident or series of accidents involving any or all of property damage, personal injury, and environmental liability could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operating results, financial condition and liquidity.

Most of the Company’s host railroad employees are represented by unions, and failure to negotiate reasonable collective bargaining agreements may result in strikes, work stoppages or substantially higher ongoing labor costs.
 
A significant majority of the Class I railroads employees are union-represented. These union employees work under collective bargaining agreements with various labor organizations. Wages, health and welfare benefits, work rules and other issues have traditionally been addressed through industry-wide negotiations. These negotiations have generally taken place over an extended period of time and have previously not resulted in any extended work stoppages. The existing agreements have remained in effect and will continue to remain in effect until new agreements are reached or the Railway Labor Act’s procedures (which include mediation, cooling-off periods and the possibility of presidential intervention) are exhausted. While the negotiations have not yet resulted in any extended work stoppages, if the Company or our Class I railroad partners are unable to negotiate acceptable new agreements, it could result in strikes by the affected workers, loss of business and increased operating costs as a result of higher wages or benefits paid to union members, any of which could have an adverse effect on the Company’s operating results, financial condition or liquidity.

The unavailability of qualified personnel could adversely affect the Company’s operations.
 
Changes in demographics, training requirements and the unavailability of qualified personnel, particularly engineers and trainmen, could negatively impact the Company’s ability to meet demand for rail service. Recruiting and retaining qualified personnel, particularly those with expertise in the railroad industry, are vital to operations. Although the Company has adequate personnel for the current business environment, unpredictable increases in demand for rail services may exacerbate the risk of not having sufficient numbers of trained personnel, which could have a negative impact on operational efficiency and otherwise have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operating results, financial condition or liquidity.

ContinuationOur independent certified public accounting firm, in their report on the audited financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2012, states that there is a substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a Going Concerngoing concern.

Our auditors' report on our audited March 31, 20112012 financial statements, and Note 2 to such financial statements, reflect the fact that without raising additional financing through loans or stock sales, it would be unlikely for us to continue as a going concern.  The business plan requires extensive infrastructure and capital expenditures prior to commencement of revenue generating operations. We are actively pursuing the additional financing as we seek to secure the rail services agreements necessary to commence such operations.  On May 3, 2011, the Company engaged Oppenheimer & Co, Inc. as exclusive agent in a proposed $30 million private placement offering, subject to satisfactory completion of a due diligence inquiry.  However, weThere can givebe no assurance that these plans and effortswe will be successful.able to raise additional capital and if we are unable to do so we may have to cease operations.

The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:

sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and
that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.

Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions.  Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the "penny stock" rules.  This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.

As an issuer of “penny stock”, the protection provided by the federal securities laws relating to forward looking statements does not apply to us.
Although federal securities laws provide a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by a public company that files reports under the federal securities laws, this safe harbor is not available to issuers of penny stocks. As a result, we will not have the benefit of this safe harbor protection in the event of any legal action based upon a claim that the material provided by us contained a material misstatement of fact or was misleading in any material respect because of our failure to include any statements necessary to make the statements not misleading. Such an action could hurt our financial condition.

Item 7.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere herein.

Overview

Las Vegas Railway Express, Inc. (the "Company”, “Las Vegas Railway”, “we”, “our” or “us”), a Delaware corporation, is a company whose plan is to re-establish a conventional rail passenger train service between Las Vegas and Los Angeles using existing freight railroad lines. The development concept is to provide a Las Vegas style experience on the train, which would traverse the planned route in approximately 5:00 hours. We plan to operate a single travel route marketed primarily to a leisure traveler from the Southern California basin  enabling us to sell rail travel as a stand-alone operation bundled with hotel rooms and other travel related services. Our unique travel option will offer a diversified product that will set us apart from travel related options of automobile and air.
Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts and disclosures reported within those financial statements. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, workers' compensation costs, collectibles of accounts receivable, and impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, contingencies, litigation and income taxes. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experiences and on various other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results under circumstances and conditions different than those assumed could result in differences from the estimated amounts in the financial statements. There have been no material changes to these policies during the fiscal year.

10


Intangible and Long-Lived Assets

We follow Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360, “Property Plant and Equipment”, which establishes a “primary asset” approach to determine the cash flow estimation period for a group of assets and liabilities that represents the unit of accounting for a long lived asset to be held and used.  Long-lived assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset.  Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.

15


Goodwill is accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other”. We assess the impairment of long-lived assets, including goodwill and intangibles on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value is less than its carrying value. Factors that we consider important which could trigger an impairment review include poor economic performance relative to historical or projected future operating results, significant negative industry, economic or company specific trends, changes in the manner of our use of the assets or the plans for our business, market price of our common stock, and loss of key personnel. We have determined that there was no impairment of goodwill during 20112012 or 2010.2011.

Stock-Based Compensation

As required by the Stock-based Compensation Topic of FASB ASC, transactions in which the Company exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services is accounted for using authoritative guidance for stock based compensation. This guidance also addresses transactions in which the Company incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the Company’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments.

If the Company issues stock for services which are performed over a period of time, the Company capitalizes the value paid in the equity section of the Company’s financial statements as it’s a non-cash equity transaction. The Company accretes the expense to stock based compensation expense on a monthly basis for services rendered within the period.

We use the fair value method for equity instruments granted to non-employees and will use the Black-Scholes model or similar methodologies for measuring the fair value of options, if issued. The stock based fair value compensation is determined as of the date of the grant or the date at which the performance of the services is completed (measurement date) and is recognized over theany vesting periods.

Results of Operations

Through March 31, 2011,2012, the railcar operations have not generated any revenues.  For the years ended March 31, 20112012 and 20102011 salary, wages and payroll taxes were $1,128,689 and $780,849 and $329,291 (137.1%(44.5% increase), respectively, selling, general and administrative expenses were $320,334$233,578 and 65,961 (385.6% increase)$314,834 (25.8% decrease), respectively, professional fees were $268,731 and $752,052 and $432,934 (73.7% increase)(64.3% decrease), respectively, and depreciation expense was $0$320 and $728, respectively$0 for a net operating loss of $1,853,235$1,631,318 versus $828,914 (123.6% increase), respectively.  The new business plan had been$1,847,735 (11.7% decrease).  Increase in effect less than 3 monthspayroll and decrease in the year ended March 31, 2010 versus a full yearprofessional fee were caused by hiring employees instead of operations through March 31, 2011.  The full year of operations is the primary reason for the increase in expenses.using consultants.

For the years ended March 31, 20112012 and 2010,2011, interest income was $3,000$0 and $0, respectively.  This is due to interest on an advance to a consultant that was repaid during the year.$3,000. Interest expense was $207,792 and $198,813 and $9,167 (2068.8%(4.5% increase), respectively, as the Company incurred significant debt in the implementation of the business plan.  The year ended March 31, 2011 also included gain on extinguishment of debt of $238,374 and loss on disposition of an asset of $2,965.. Net loss from continuing operations for the years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 were $1,839,109 and 2010 were $1,813,640 and $838,081 (116.4%$1,808,140 (1.7% increase), respectively...

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support asset growth, satisfy disbursement needs, maintain reserve requirements and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. The Company acquired Las Vegas Railway Express in January 2010 and began its operations as the primary business of the Company. The Company subsequently changed its name from Liberty Capital Asset Management, Inc. to Las Vegas Railway Express, Inc. and is traded under the symbol OTC:BB:XTRN.  The Company has no operating revenues and is currently dependent on financing and sale of stock to fund operations.

We have experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception.  We have sustained losses from continuing operations of $1,820,113 and $1,791,983 for the years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. 

We continue to actively pursue various funding options, including equity offerings and debt financings, to obtain additional funds to continue the development of our products and bring them to commercial markets. There can be no assurance that we will be able to consummate any fund raising transactions on terms acceptable to us or at all.  

We believe that the successful growth and operation of our business is dependent upon our ability to do any or all of the following:
obtain adequate sources of debt or equity financing to pay unfunded operating expenses and fund long-term business operations; and
manage or control working capital requirements by controlling operating expenses.

There can be no assurance that we will be successful in achieving our long-term plans as set forth above, or that such plans, if consummated, will enable us to obtain profitable operations or continue in the long-term.

Discontinued Operations – Loan Portfolio

Results of Operations

Prior to January 21, 2010, the Company had been actively engaged in acquiring underperforming mortgage loan portfolios and generating revenues from re-performing, sale of loans and fee revenue.  As of January 21, 2010, the Company changed its primary business and abandoned its prior business. Accordingly, the assets liabilities and results of operation related to this business have been classified as discontinued operations in the financial statements for all periods presented. As a result, the prior period comparative financial statements have been restated. Prior to this decision, the loan business represented substantially all of the Company’s operating revenue.

The loan portfolio was accounted for using the cost recovery method proscribed by ASC 310-30 “Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality.”. Under the cost-recovery method, no income is recognized until the Company has fully collected the cost of the loan, or until such time as the Company considers the timing and amount of collections to be reasonably estimable.  Based on the recovery method, the Company had not collected revenues in excess of the initial acquisition costs of the loan portfolios; therefore, no revenues were reported for loan sales or collections.  As the Company no longer pursued the collection of the loan portfolio, it wrote off the entire portfolio as of the discontinuation of active collections on the loans effective January 21, 2010.
 
Revenues from loan payments after the write-off of the loan portfolio, for the years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, were $4,315 and 2010, were $52,506, and $46,943, respectively, an increasea decrease of $5,563 (11.9%$48,191 (91.3%).  This was due to collections during 12 months versus only 3 months in the prior year.

Expenses for discontinued operations were $36,349$32,649 and $2,909,292,$36,349, for the years ended March 31, 20112012 and 2010,2011, a decrease of $2,872,943$3,700 or 99%10.2%.  This was dueExpenses were primarily interest costs on notes from discontinued liabilities.

Prior to the changeCompany’s corporate restructuring in 2010, the Company had several accounts payable dating back to 2008 and prior (the “Liberty Capital Payables”). All of these Liberty Capital Payables were related to business plan

Liquidityoperations which were discontinued in January 2010. In 2009, the Company updated its internal review of the status of the Liberty Capital Payables and Capital Resourcesrecorded a $47,330 gain resulting from relief of liabilities that were cleared based on expiration of Nevada statutes of limitations. The gain is reflected as a gain from discontinued operations. There was no tax impact as the prior tax assets had a 100% valuation allowance resulting in no balance sheet or income statement adjustments for taxes.
 
During 2010, the Company’s assessment that the combination of economic uncertainty, bankruptcies of major financial institutions, massive government bailouts and restructuring of others such as AIG, together with harsh government regulations for mortgage holders, led to the operating environment where the original business model for Liberty was unsustainable and discontinued.

Item 7A.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
 
The Company operated in a volatile and fragmented marketplace which recently has been subject to new financial regulation by the Federal Government. As such, the Company discontinued operations in the financial sector.Not applicable

The Company’s business plan and time frames for its transportation business will be contingent on several infrastructure considerations and the ability to obtain agreements and contracts with rail service operators and providers.  Rail service is a highly regulated industry and compliance with these regulations will have significant impact on the Company’s operations.

The Company has Changed its Primary Business and has No Operating History with its new Business Model and Consequently Face Significant Risks and Uncertainties.

The Company has no operating history in the transportation services industry.  As a result of no operating history in the current business environment, we will need to expand operational, financial and administrative systems and control procedures to enable us to further train and manage our employees and coordinate the efforts of our accounting, finance, marketing and operations departments.

We Have a Limited Operating History and Consequently Face Significant Risks and Uncertainties.

As a result of our limited operating history and our reporting responsibilities as a public company, we may need to expand operational, financial and administrative systems and control procedures to enable us to further train and manage our employees and coordinate the efforts of our accounting, finance, marketing and operations departments.

If We Fail To Comply With The Numerous Laws And Regulations That Govern Our Industry, Our Business Could Be Adversely Affected.

Our business must comply with extensive and complex rules and regulations of various federal, state and local government authorities.  We may not always have been and may not always be in compliance with these requirements.  Failure to comply with these requirements may result in, among other things, revocation of our ability to operate a conventional rail system, class action lawsuits, administrative enforcement actions and civil and criminal liability.

Our Business Will Be Adversely Affected If We Are Unable To Protect Our Intellectual Property Rights From Third Party Challenges Or If We Are Involved In Litigation.

Trademarks and other proprietary rights, if any, are important to our success and our competitive position.  Although we seek to protect our trademarks and other proprietary rights through a variety of means, we cannot assure you that the actions we have taken are adequate to protect these rights.  We may also license content from third parties in the future and it is possible that we could face infringement actions based upon the content licensed from these third parties.

A large percentage of our stock is owned by relatively few people, including officers and directors.

As of March 31, 2011, our officers and directors beneficially owned or controlled a total of 6,606,018 shares, or approximately 16.85% of our outstanding common stock.  If an investor acquires shares, they may be subject to certain risks due to the concentrated ownership of our common stock.  For example, these stockholders could, if they were to act together, affect the outcome of stockholder votes, which could, among other things, affect elections of directors, delay or prevent a change in control or other transaction that might be beneficial to you as a stockholder.

Risk of Low Priced Securities.

We do not currently satisfy the criteria for quotation of our common stock on the NASDAQ Small Cap Market.  As a result, investors could find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the price of, our common stock.

Our common stock is subject to Rule 15g-9 under Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers which sell such securities to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors” (generally, individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual incomes exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 together with their spouses).  For transactions covered by this rule, a broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to sale.  Consequently, the rule may adversely affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell the Company’s securities and may adversely affect the ability of purchasers to sell any of the securities acquired hereby in the secondary market.

Commission regulations define a “penny stock” to be any non-NASDAQ equity security that has a market price (as therein defined) of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions.  For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require delivery, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the Commission relating to the penny stock market.  Disclosure is required to be made about commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities.  Finally, monthly statements are required to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.  The foregoing penny stock restrictions apply to the Company’s common stock as of the date of this prospectus.  These restrictions could limit the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and thus the ability of purchasers of our securities to resell them in the secondary market.

The Company is Reliant on Securing Certain Agreements from Amtrak and Railroad Companies
The company is in the process of securing agreements from AMTRAK  and the Class 1 railroad companies. Failure to secure these agreements or on terms which would be unacceptable to the company, would result in the project objectives being severely curtailed. There is no assurance that the agreements will be forthcoming even though the company is in discussions with all relevant groups at this time.

The Loss Of Any Of Our Executive Officers Or Key Personnel Would Likely Have An Adverse Effect On Our Business.
Our future success depends to a significant extent on the continued services of our senior management and other key personnel, particularly Michael A. Barron.  The loss of the services of Mr. Barron or other key employees would also likely have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We do not anticipate paying dividends.
We have never paid any cash dividends on our common stock since our inception, and we do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future.  Any dividends, which we may pay in the future, will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on our future earnings, any applicable regulatory considerations, our financial requirements and other similarly unpredictable factors.  For the foreseeable future, we anticipate that earnings, if any, will be retained for the operation and expansion of our business.

Possible conflicts of interest exist in related party transactions.
Our Board of Directors consists of Michael A. Barron and Joseph A. Cosio-Barron, both of whom are executive officers and principal shareholders of the Company.  Thus, there has in the past existed the potential for conflicts of interest in transactions between the Company and such individuals or entities in which such individuals have an interest.  We have attempted to ensure that any such transactions were entered into on terms that were no less favorable than could have been obtained in transactions with unrelated third parties.

Item 8.  Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM











Board of Directors
Las Vegas Railway Express, Inc.
Las Vegas, Nevada

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Las Vegas Railway Express, Inc., as of March 31, 20112012 and 2010,2011, and the related statements of operations and comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2011.2012. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with 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 financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Las Vegas Railway Express, Inc.  as of March 31, 20112012 and 2010,2011, and the result of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2011,2012, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted (GAAP) in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Las Vegas Railway Express, Inc. will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, Las Vegas Railway Express, Inc. suffered recurring losses from operations which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

LAS VEGAS RAILWAY EXPRESS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 20112012 and 20102011


(1)    Description of Business:

Las Vegas Railway Express, Inc., formerly Liberty Capital Asset Management, Inc.  (the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) was formed as a Delaware corporation in March 9, 2007 as Corporate Outfitters, Inc., a development stage company. On November 3, 2008, withpursuant to a share exchange, assetcommon stock purchase agreement, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Liberty Capital Asset Management, a Nevada corporation, formed in July of 2008 as a holding company for all the assets of CD Banc LLC in contemplation of the company going public via a reverse merger into a publicly trading corporation.

CD Banc LLC was formed in 2003 as a Nevada limited liability corporation with the purpose of acquiring real estate assets and holding them for long-term appreciation.

The Company business plan is to re-establish a conventional passenger train service between the Las Vegas and Los Angeles metropolitan areas. On January 21, 2010, the Company completed a share exchange and asset purchase agreement with Las Vegas Railway Express, a Nevada Corporation, and subsequently changed its name from Liberty Capital Asset Management, Inc. to Las Vegas Railway Express, Inc.

(2)    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
 
Restated Financial Data
Subsequent to issuance of the Company’s March 31, 2010 financial statements the Company’s management identified an error related to valuation of warrants.  As a result, the Company has restated certain amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements to correct errors in previously reported amounts related to stock compensation costs. This restatement affected the additional paid in capital and accumulated deficit.

Basis of Presentation:

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the parent and all subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and accounts are eliminated in consolidation.  

Going Concern:

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has net losses of $1,791,983$1,820,113 and $3,700,430$1,791,983 for the years ended March 31, 20112012 and 2010,2011, respectively. Although a substantial portion of the Company’s cumulative net loss is attributable to discontinued operations, management believes that it will need additional equity or debt financing to be able to implement the business plan.  These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Management is attempting to raise additional equity and debt financing to sustain operations until it can market its services and achieves profitability. On May 3, 2011, the Company engaged Oppenheimer & Co, Inc. as exclusive agent in a proposed $30 million private placement offering, subject to satisfactory completion of a due diligence inquiry.  The successful outcome of future activities cannot be determined at this time and there are no assurances that, if achieved, the Company will have sufficient funds to execute its intended business plan or generate positive operating results.

The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Risks and Uncertainties:

The Company operates in a highly regulatedan industry that is subject to intense competition and potential government regulations.  Significant changes in regulations and the ability of the Company to establish contracts with rail services providers could have a materially adverse impact on the Company’s operations.

LAS VEGAS RAILWAY EXPRESS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 20112012 AND 20102011


Use of Estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods.

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid holdings with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.


Property and Equipment:

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation.  Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, ranging from three to thirty years. Total depreciation expense related to property and equipment was $0$320 and $728$0 for the years ended March 31, 20112012 and 2010,2011, respectively. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations when incurred.  Major betterments and renewals are capitalized.  Gains or losses are recognized upon sale or disposition of assets.

Intangible Assets:

Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over tangible and other intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed arising from business acquisitions.  Goodwill is not amortized, but is reviewed for potential impairment on an annual basis at the reporting unit level.  On March 31, 2011,2012, as required by the Intangible topic of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Council (“FASB ASC”), the Company conducted an analysis of the goodwill determined on January 21, 2010 with the acquisition of LVRE, Nevada. For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2011,2012, our valuation assessment for impairment found that due to the continued progress toward the measurement goals of the business plan that there is no impairment of Goodwill in the Company’s financials.  As of March 31, 20112012 and 2010,2011, the Company had recorded Goodwill of $843,697 and $843,697, respectively.

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share:

In accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share,” the basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders after reducing net income by preferred stock dividend, by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share reflect per share amounts that would have resulted if diluted potential common stock had been converted to common stock.  Common stock equivalents have not been included in the earnings per share computation for the years ended March 31, 20112012 and 20102011 as the amounts are anti-dilutive.

Income Taxes:

The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC 740 "Income Taxes."  Under the asset and liability method of FASB ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under FASB ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations.

22


Stock Issued for Services:

FASB ASC 718 "Compensation - Stock Compensation" prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all stock-based payments award to employees, including employee stock options, restricted stock, employee stock purchase plans and stock appreciation rights, may be classified as either equity or liabilities. The Company should determine if a present obligation to settle the share-based payment transaction in cash or other assets exists. A present obligation to settle in cash or other assets exists if:

(a) the option to settle by issuing equity instruments lacks commercial substance or (b) the present obligation is implied because of an entity's past practices or stated policies. If a present obligation exists, the transaction should be recognized as a liability; otherwise, the transaction should be recognized as equity.

24


The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 505-50 "Equity - Based Payments to Non-Employees." Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees shall be based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The fair value of the share-based payment transaction should be determined at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

The Company's financial instruments as defined by FASB ASC 825-10-50 include cash, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses.  All instruments are accounted for on a historical cost basis, which, due to the short maturity of these financial instruments, approximates fair value at March 31, 2011.2012.  The amounts shown for notes payable approximate fair value because current interest rates and terms offered to the Company for similar debt are substantially the same.

FASB ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FASB ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

Level 2. Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which requires the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

The mortgage loan portfolio we report at fair value in our consolidated financial statements fall within the Level 2 category and are valued primarily utilizing inputs and assumptions that are observable in the marketplace or that can be derived from observable market data compared with instruments with similar characteristics.

In the absence of such information or if we are not able to corroborate these prices by other available relevant market information, we estimate their fair values by using internal calculations or discounted cash flow techniques that incorporate prepayment rates, discount rates and delinquency and default and cumulative loss expectations, that are implied by market prices for similar securities and collateral structure types. Because this valuation technique relies on significant unobservable inputs, the fair value estimation is classified as Level 3. The process for determining fair value using unobservable inputs is generally more subjective and involves a high degree of management judgment and assumptions. These assumptions may have a significant effect on our estimates of fair value, and the use of different assumptions as well as changes in market conditions could have a material effect on our results of operations or financial condition.
 
New Accounting Pronouncements:
 
Issued

In January 2010,September 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standard update that amends the accounting guidance on goodwill impairment testing. The amendments in this accounting standard update are intended to amendreduce complexity and costs by allowing an entity the disclosure requirements relatedoption to recurring and nonrecurringmake a qualitative evaluation about the likelihood of goodwill impairment to determine whether it should calculate the fair value measurements.of a reporting unit. The amendments also improve previous guidance requires a roll forwardby expanding upon the examples of activities on purchases, sales, issuance,events and settlements ofcircumstances that an entity should consider between annual impairment tests in determining whether it is more likely than not that the assets and liabilities measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 fair value measurements).of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The guidanceamendments in this accounting standard update are effective for interim and annual goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this accounting standard update will become effective for the Company with the reporting period beginning JulyJanuary 1, 2011.2012. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Company'sCompany’s financial position, result of operations or cash flows.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, “Comprehensive Income - Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in ASU 2011-05,” to defer the effective date of the specific requirement to present items that are reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income to net income alongside their respective components of net income and other comprehensive income. All other provisions of this update, which are to be applied retrospectively, are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this accounting standard update will become effective for the reporting period beginning January 1, 2012. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update 2011-10, “Derecognition of in Substance Real Estate—a Scope Clarification” to clarify that when a parent (reporting entity) ceases to have a controlling financial interest (as described in ASC subtopic 810-10, Consolidation) in a subsidiary that is in substance real estate as a result of default on the subsidiary’s nonrecourse debt, the reporting entity should apply the guidance in subtopic 360-20, Property, Plant and Equipment, to determine whether it should derecognize the in substance real estate. Generally, a reporting entity would not satisfy the requirements to derecognize the in substance real estate before the legal transfer of the real estate to the lender and the extinguishment of the related nonrecourse indebtedness. Under this new guidance, even if the reporting entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest under subtopic 810-10, the reporting entity would continue to include the real estate, debt, and the results of the subsidiary’s operations in its consolidated financial statements.statements until legal title to the real estate is transferred to legally satisfy the debt. This amendment is applicable to us prospectively for deconsolidation events occurring after June 15, 2012. The adoption of this accounting standard update will become effective for the reporting period beginning July 1, 2012. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

(9)    Stock Option Plan:

FASB ASC 718 "Compensation - Stock Compensation" prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all stock-based payments award to employees, including employee stock options, restricted stock, employee stock purchase plans and stock appreciation rights, may be classified as either equity or liabilities.   ASC 718 requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. As of March 31, 20112012 and 2010,2011, the Company has 20,000,000 and 020,000,000 outstanding employee stock options, respectively.  In December 2009, the options were cancelled with the discontinuance of the mortgage loan pool operations.  Effective January 1, 2010, the options were re-affirmed with the same rights and terms as originally issued.  The re-affirmation was treated as a modification of the original options.  As the terms and conditions remained the same, the recognition of expense was recorded in accordance with the original terms of the options.

We generally recognize compensation expense for grants of restricted stock units using the value of a share of our stock on the date of grant. We estimate the value of stock option grants using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Stock compensation is recognized straight line over the vesting period.

20112012 Stock Option Plan provides for the grant of 20,000,000 incentive or non-statutory stock options to purchase common stock. Employees, who share the responsibility for the management growth or protection of the business of the Company and certain Non-Employee (“Selected Persons”), are eligible to receive options which are approved by a committee of the Board of Directors.  These options vest over five years and are exercisable for a ten-year period from the date of the grant.

The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant, November 1, 2008 using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for an estimated 2.5 year term; risk free rate of 3.5%; no dividend yield; volatility factors of the expected market price of the Company's common stock of (51%), the market value of the Company’s stock on grant date was $0.45.

We did not provide any current or deferred U.S. federal income tax provision or benefit for any of the periods presented because we have experienced operating losses since inception.  When it is more likely than not that a tax asset cannot be realized through future income the Company must allow for this future tax benefit.  We provided a full valuation allowance on the net deferred tax asset, consisting of net operating loss carryforwards, because management has determined that it is more likely than not that we will not earn income sufficient to realize the deferred tax assets during the carry forward period.

The Company has not taken a tax position that, if challenged, would have a material effect on the financial statements for the twelve-months ended March 31, 20112012 and 2010,2011, or during the prior three years applicable under FASB ASC 740.  We did not recognize any adjustment to the liability for uncertain tax position and therefore did not record any adjustment to the beginning balance of accumulated deficit on the consolidated balance sheet.  The tax returns for the Company are currently delinquent and plancurrent with the 2011 tax return expected to be filed withinby the next three months.due date of the return.

  Discontinued Operations:

As discussed in Note 1, prior to January 21, 2010, the Company had been actively engaged in acquiring underperforming mortgage loan portfolios and generating revenues from re-performing, sale of loans and fee revenue.  As of January 21, 2010, the Company changed its primary business and abandoned the prior business. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities and results of operation related to this business have been classified as discontinued operations in the financial statements for all periods presented. As a result, the prior period comparative financial statements have been restated. Prior to this decision, the loan business represented substantially all of the Company’s operating revenue.

Prior to the Company’s corporate restructuring in 2010, the Company had several accounts payable dating back to 2008 and prior (the “Liberty Capital Payables”). All of these Liberty Capital Payables were related to business operations which were discontinued in January 2010. In 2009, the Company updated its internal review of the status of the Liberty Capital Payables and recorded a $47,330 gain resulting from relief of liabilities that were cleared based on expiration of Nevada statutes of limitations. The gain is reflected as a gain from discontinued operations. There was no tax impact as the prior tax assets had a 100% valuation allowance resulting in no balance sheet or income statement adjustments for taxes.

Item 9A.  Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that are designed to be effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In designing and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance of achieving the desired objectives. Also, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. The design of any system of controls is based, in part, upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

AsAt of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried outconducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our chief executive officer and our principal financial officer of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures.procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based upon thatthis evaluation, managementour chief executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of March 31, 2011 to cause theensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods prescribedspecified in the Commission’s rules and forms.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our management, with the participation of our CEO and our CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by SEC,this report. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and our CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were effective such that material information required to be disclosed is made known to management and others, as appropriate, to allow timely decision regarding required disclosure and that suchthe information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officerCEO and principal financial officer,CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

Unremediated Material Weakness

A material weakness is a control deficiency (within the meaningrules of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) Auditing Standard No. 2) or combination of control deficiencies, which resultSecurities and Exchange Commission that permits us to provide only management’s report in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of thethis annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.

Subsequent to issuance of the Company’s March 31, 2009 financial statements the Company’s management identified an error related to 1) its recognition of revenue and impairment related to its acquired mortgage loan portfolio and 2) its accounting for compensation relating to the issuance of warrants. As a result, the Company has restated certain amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements to correct errors in previously reported amounts related to net finance receivables. This restatement affected the carrying value of the mortgage loan portfolio and accumulated deficit. See Note (3) – Mortgage Loan portfolio and Note (13) – Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements.

The Company concluded on May 14, 2010, to restate the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2009 and for the year then ended (the “Restatement”) to correct errors in previously reported amounts. The Restatement reflects the following adjustments related to the mortgage loan portfolio accumulated deficit and its compensation for the issuance of warrants.

To initially address this material weakness, management performed additional analyses and other procedures to ensure that the financial statements included herein fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

The Company concluded on January 20, 2011, in conjunction with communications with regulators to restate the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2009 and 2010 and for the years then ended (the “Restatement”) to correct errors in previously reported amounts. The Restatement reflects the adjustments for correct application of the Black-Scholes valuation model in determining value of options issued to officers of the Company.

Remediation of Material Weakness

To remediate the material weakness in our disclosure controls and procedures identified above, we have done or intend to do the following subsequent to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010.

In August 2010, we entered into an agreement with a certified public accountant with the requisite background and experience to assist us in identifying and evaluating complex accounting and reporting matters.  The Consultant has resolved several issues with the SEC and is strengthening the internal processes for identifying and disclosing both routine and non-routine transactions and researching and determining proper accounting treatment for those transactions.  The updated internal processes will be integrated into the internal controls over the transaction and financial reporting processes. We also intend to seek additional assistance from independent legal professionals who have expertise in public company reporting compliance who will work with our Chief Financial Officer and our current legal counsel, in the capacity of General Counsel, to help ensure that our disclosures are timely and appropriate.report.

We believe that with the assistance of our newly appointed CFO, and our continued engagement of financial consultants who are certified public accountants with the requisite background and experience to assist us in identifying and evaluating complex accounting and reporting matters we will ensure that our reporting obligations are satisfied.Management believes that the remediation described above has remediated the material weakness also described above.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to indemnify its directors and officers against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with a pending or completed action, suit or proceeding if the officer or director acted in good faith and in a manner the officer or director reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the corporation.

Our certificate of incorporation provides that, except in certain specified instances, our directors shall not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duty as directors, except for the following:

 any breach of their duty of loyalty to our company or our stockholders;
 
 acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
 
 unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law; and
 
 any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
 
35


In addition, our certificate of incorporation and bylaws obligate us to indemnify our directors and officers against expenses and other amounts reasonably incurred in connection with any proceeding arising from the fact that such person is or was an agent of ours. Our bylaws also authorize us to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any of our directors or officers against any liability asserted against that person in that capacity, whether or not we would have the power to indemnify that person under the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law. We expect to continue to enter into agreements to indemnify our directors and officers as determined by our Board of Directors. These agreements provide for indemnification of related expenses including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, and settlement amounts incurred by any of these individuals in any action or proceeding. We believe that these bylaw provisions and indemnification agreements are necessary to attract any retain qualified persons as directors and officers.


35

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against our directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit us and other stockholders. Furthermore, a stockholder's investment may be adversely affected to the extent that we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers as required by these indemnification provisions. At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors, officers or employees regarding, which indemnification is sought, and we are not aware of any threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification.

Insofar as the provisions of our certificate of incorporation or bylaws provide for indemnification of directors or officers for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, we have been informed that in the opinion of the Commission this indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
Family Relationships

There are no family relationships between any of our directors or executive officers and any other directors or executive officers.

Stock Option Plan

Our Board of Directors has adopted a stock option plan and reserved an aggregate of 20,000,000 shares of common stock for grants of restricted stock and stock options under the plan.  The purpose of the plan is to enhance the long-term stockholder value of the Company by offering opportunities to officers, directors, employees and consultants of the Company to participate in our growth and success and to encourage them to remain in the service of the Company and acquire and maintain stock ownership in the Company.

As of March 31, 2011, there were cancelled 2,000,000 outstanding options to purchase shares of common stock held by Michael Barron and Joseph Cosio-Barron, described below.

The plan is currently administered by our Board of Directors, which has the authority to select individuals who are to receive grants under the plan and to specify the terms and conditions of each restricted stock grant and each option to be granted, the vesting provisions, the option term and the exercise price.  ��Unless otherwise provided by the Board of Directors, an option granted under the plan expires 10 years from the date of grant (5 years in the case of an incentive option granted to a holder of 10% or more of the shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock) or, if earlier, three months after the optionee’s termination of employment or service.  Options granted under the plan are not generally transferable by the optionee except by will or the laws of descent and distribution and generally are exercisable during the lifetime of the optionee only by such optionee.  The plan is subject to the approval of the stockholders within 12 months after the date of its adoption.

The plan will remain in effect for 10 years after the date of its adoption by our Board of Directors.  The plan may be amended by the Board of Directors without the consent of the “Company’s stockholders, except that any amendment, although effective when made, will be subject to stockholder approval if required by any Federal or state law or regulation or by the rules of any stock exchange or any automated quotation system on which the Company’s common stock may then be listed or quoted.  The number of shares received under the plan and the number of shares subject to outstanding options are subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends and other extraordinary corporate events.
