Item 1.  Description of Business

History

Las Vegas Railway Express, Inc.  (the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) was formed as a Delaware corporation inon 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. 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 timely 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 plan to one of developing passenger rail transportation and ancillary ticketing and reservation services between the Los Angeles area and Las Vegas, Nevada.

Company Overview
 
Our company, Las Vegas Railway Express, Inc., is establishing a new and innovative passenger train service between Las Vegas and the Los Angeles metropolitan area using existing railroad tracks and specialized rail cars that have been refurbished to resemble a casino style motif. The Company’sproposed initial service, called the “X-Train,” will be replicated into other metropolitan centers in the US with resort/casino destinations. The center point of the plan is to establish a rail passenger trainthe service between Las Vegas and Los Angeles using existing freight railroad lines currently utilized by two Class I railroads, Burlington Northern and Union Pacific.lines. 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 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.trains. A series of 16 passenger railcars has been negotiated to be acquired under an agreement with Transportation Management Services. This provides the Company with 16 bi-level passenger cars with a total capacity of 756 passengers. The Company has executedidentified seven such similar routes currently served by Amtrak trains, which originate from a Memorandum of Understanding (or MOU) with the Plaza Hotel asmetropolitan area and have 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 terminussegment of the service.route, which passes through a casino/resort destination. The company will construct up to eight custom designed cars for each route, which it will couple up to the Amtrak trains. The Company will pay a fee to Amtrak to haul the trains and to couple and uncouple them at the resort destinations. This is a common practice with Amtrak and requires no master agreement or agreements from railroad companies. The origination and destination stations along the various routes already exist, so the Company need not construct any station facilities in order to operate. The company has executed an MOU with AMTRAK for haulage of the trains outlining duties and responsibilities of each party.
 
In November 2012, the Company entered into an agreement with Union Pacific Railroad Company (“UPRR”), pursuant to which UPRR granted the Company the right for a period of five years to operate the Company’s planned X Train service between Las Vegas, Nevada, and Daggett, California, subject to the Company’s fulfillment of certain conditions. This agreement contemplates that the X Train will have scheduling priority over existing freight trains. Additionally, we have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (or MOU) with Amtrak for managing the operation of the train set.
We have acquired the first train set of 16 passenger railcars, which we will begin to renovate when we have adequate funding.  The Company estimateshas entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the City of Fullerton for use of their station for the Southern California terminus of the service. The Company has also entered into an MOU with Dielco Crane to lease 16.4 acres of its property in North Las Vegas for a train station location and Maintenance facility.
We estimate that itwe will need to obtain $35MM$80 million 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 the needed funding, the Company estimates that the train service willcould start in 3rd quarter of 2013.late 2014.  However, there are no assurances that this will occur.
 
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.“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 170,140, 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.

TravelMarketplace
Our business plan emanates from Southern California toa regional transportation feasibility study published in 2007, which suggested that a well-run rail service between Los Angeles and Las Vegas constitutes a major portion of visitor activity and is a financial foundation for the economycould garner up to 30% of the Las approximately 12 million passengers who regularly drive between these two metropolitan areas. See: www.rtcsouthernnevada.com. We believe that with our current business plan, we would be able to break-even, on an operating basis, with approximately 1.5% of that overall market. We have also conducted a market study done by RL Banks which outlines seven other routes with similar demographics to the X Train LA/Vegas region. About a third of all route. We believe that the proposed business model on the LA/Vegas visitors are Californians, according to a survey byroute is replicable on 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.other seven routes with potentially similar financial results.

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 Vegas operate its service. The first step in allowing any passenger train service alongBoth the Union Pacific and BNSF have completed their infrastructure is the completion of capacity planning and logistics studies in order for the Class ILA/Vegas route and have prepared a timetable with Amtrak for operations over this route.  Additional routes planned do not require such capacity planning as Amtrak trains already operate on these routes and the XTrain simply attaches its custom cars to the existing Amtrak trains. The X Train plans to run on multiple corridors which operate on additional 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.


such as CSX, NS and other regional lines.

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 anticipated 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, weWe have executed with AMTRAKentered into the first of several necessary agreements on this routewith AMTRAK and they haveAMTRAK has agreed to provide locomotive engineers, conductors, train servicing, maintenance, ticketing services, and a host of other services associated with the operations of Thethe “X” Train. Amtrak is also seeking to operate the X Train service as an Amtrak train which would be co-branded with the X Train. This would allow the operation of multiple trains across the route.

Train Operations

The proposed routeX Train operations are scheduled to start in the fourth quarter of The “X” Train is approximately 300 miles with2013 on the end points being Fullerton, California and then direct to LasHouston- New Orleans corridor. This would be followed by operations during the next 12 months on multiple other corridors including the LA – 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.

Las Vegas Railway Express, Inc. has negotiatedWe have entered into a trackage rights agreement with Union Pacific Railroad allowingon the LA/Vegas route, which, subject to fulfillment of certain conditions, will allow 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 ouron the LA to Vegas 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 have completed their capacity planning analysis .analysis.

Our Business Strategy
To grow our business and achieve profitability, our strategy will be to provide a first class “Las Vegas” style travel experience at attractive fares together with a more moderate Coach Class for the economical visitor, while keeping our operating costs low and pursuing ways to make our operations more efficient.  We intend to grow by adding additional trains in other markets and increasing the number of daily trips from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, gamingraising our average fare over time, expanding our relationships with premier leisure companies and resort district boardinggrowing the level of ancillary services provided to our customers.
The following are the key elements of our strategy:
Finalize Resources for Commencement of Service in 2014. We have made a significant capital investment in this business opportunity and connectedare now in the development stage of execution. We have invested approximately $10 million towards development of our planned X Train service to date and, subject to obtaining needed funding; we plan to invest an additional $80 million to begin operations of our X-Train service beginning late 2014. We have acquired the recently remodeled Plaza Hotelfirst train set of 16 passenger railcars and Casino. Adjacentwill renovate them following funding. We expect to Union Pacific’s main line and Symphony Plaza,complete construction on the remaining components of our re-modeled station (formally AMTRAK’sbusiness plan such as the Las Vegas station forand certain rail infrastructure upon obtaining needed funding.
Stimulate Demand Among Higher Budget Customers Who Drive.  We view the Southern California corporate environment as a lucrative one. There are over 50 Fortune 500 companies in California with most having significant employment populations within the two counties of the LA region. With the increasing Las Vegas convention penetration, the Southern California business community alone is diverse enough to provide a sufficient number of higher budget clientele to fill our travel offerings. We plan to undertake an aggressive marketing campaign targeted at the higher budget corporate clientele in the Los Angeles greater area. Additionally, we plan to enter into partnerships with several of the major Las Vegas casinos in order to jointly market our services.
Grow Non-Rail Revenues.  Traditional travel options have included many amenities built into their pricing models. With recent evolutions in the travel industry, the airline sector has begun to unbundle this pricing model to 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

benefit. In fact, several newer airline companies have eliminated this model in favor of a low priced “à la carte” pricing model with little traveler resistance.  Traditional, higher fare legacy airlines have adopted parts of this strategy and are implementing it profitably.  Our business plan incorporates a premium all-inclusive pricing formula, but we also plan to benefit from an “à la carte” pricing model by providing potential upgrades across several services, most noticeably with food and beverage. In addition, we expect to derive a meaningful portion of our revenue from the sale of ancillary items, such as hotel rooms, rental cars, show tickets, night club packages and other attractions. Importantly, most of our ancillary revenue will command high margins with low operating costs thus improving our profitability.
 
 
Use Operating Leverage to Drive Lower Costs.  Our model projects a decreasing cost structure per passenger from operating our trains, as we take advantage of the negotiated rates we will have with our host railroads and the largely fixed costs at our terminals. We anticipate benefiting from further operating leverage as we add additional trains to our schedule. In year 2 of our Business Plan we plan to add an additional 2 trains per operating day to our schedule and by year 5 we anticipate having 9 trains per operating day running on this route. We believe our focus on the leisure passenger also provides an ability to better manage our train schedule to most effectively utilize our personnel, facilities, and assets which results in lower costs.

These are examplesBuild Partnerships with Key Institutions.  We hope to work with major Las Vegas casinos and key institutions throughout Las Vegas.
Our Competitive Strengths

We have developed a unique business model that focuses on leisure travelers between Los Angeles and Las Vegas.  We believe the following strengths will allow us to achieve and maintain a competitive advantage in the market we serve:
Large Untapped Market of specifications12 Million Drivers on the LA to Vegas Route. There has been no regular passenger rail service between the Los Angeles and drawing disclosuresLas Vegas areas for over 13 years. The only major highway between Los Angeles and Las Vegas is Interstate 15 (“I-15”). Of the more than 12,000,000 annual visitors from the Southern California/Los Angeles market, 94% use automobile transportation to Las Vegas via this corridor every year. We believe we only need to capture 1.5% of the trainoverall drivers to break even on an operating basis.  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 passengers by 2030. Congestion on I-15 is increasing, with motor vehicle travelers experiencing substantial delays during peak travel times (e.g., generally over 6 hours of drive time on Friday and station conceptSunday afternoons). With increasing gasoline costs, increasingly restrictive highway capacity, and reduced air travel from LA to Las Vegas, a rail transportation product - with both First Class and Coach – should be an attractive and viable alternative. Our trains will offer a service that will help you understand what constitutes a complete designset us apart from other travel options by extending our customers’ “Las Vegas” experience while en route.
Operating Rights Provided by Railroad Partners.  The Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad (“BNSF”) and the Union Pacific Railroad (“UP”) are the two largest Class I railroads in the United States and own the railroad rights of way between Los Angeles, California and Las Vegas, Nevada.  Operating as an Amtrak train entitles us to deploy multiple train on the LA/Vegas route so long as we pay for the capital improvements necessary to keep freight traffic flowing on the host railroads without delays.
Unique Partnership with Amtrak. We have entered into an agreement with Amtrak to manage the technical operation of our trains.  Amtrak will provide us with locomotive engineers, conductors, train servicing, maintenance, and other services associated with the operations of the X-Train.  Pursuant to our unique arrangement, all customer-facing personnel will be our employees. Partnering with Amtrak allows us to benefit from their statutory rate authority and industry leading expertise and also ensures the highest level of quality and reliability for our train service at a contracted, cost efficient level.
First-Class “Las Vegas Style” Service.  While our strategy is to incorporate both “First Class” and “Coach Class” passenger cars, the focus of our approach is to create a unique, first class, “must see” mode of travel that not only serves the functional purpose of transporting passengers to Las Vegas, but integrates seamlessly into the traditional and iconic Las Vegas experience. To accomplish this goal, our team of design professionals and staff has assembled an on-board product reflective of the “Las Vegas” theme which are providedis comprised of a comfortable, fun, upscale and provocative atmosphere with multiple on-board amenities. Each First Class car will have two stewardesses who will provide regular performances and table services throughout the duration of each trip. In addition, each First Class train ticket entitles a passenger to an assigned seat with a high-quality meal and an alcoholic beverage, for those passengers of legal drinking age.
Our “X-Train” model also includes many premium options to tailor our customers’ experiences to their individual preferences. Each First Class passenger car will be served by a bartender who will prepare premium alcoholic beverages included in the base ticket fare. Snacks and various X-Train merchandising will also be offered through our free mobile application. Our “Ultra Lounge” cars will have tables that passengers and their travel companions can reserve at an additional charge.

Oversize baggage, access to the on-board Wi-Fi network, and other premium options will also be available for additional ancillary fees. Commissions will be derived through our call centers, our website, and our on-board mobile application, where customers will be presented with the option to book ahead for various Vegas attractions and necessities such as examples only.  Actual designs will vary from these illustrations.
hotels, shows, tours, restaurant reservations, and rental cars.

Our Business Strategy

Capture And Divert Current Automobile Travelers.  95%Several cars will be allocated to a “Coach Class” service, which will feature comfortable, but higher density seating, few amenities other than snack and beverage service and one attendant per car. By appending several such cars, we hope to capture that segment 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 drivewhose travel plans 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.are more cost-focused.
 
Low Operating CostsEquipment and Facilities Cost.  Most transportation travel companiesWe have very high fixedbeen able to develop what has traditionally been a highly capital intensive business while keeping our capital costs to relatively low levels. With the exception of certain modifications and variableimprovements, we have largely been able to take advantage of existing BNSF and UP railroad infrastructure and existing train station facilities. Our approach is dramatically different – and much lower cost – than any competing concept; see “Competition.” We have secured access for our two proposed departure/arrival points: the Fullerton Transportation Center in Fullerton, California and the property in North Las Vegas just a few miles away from historical downtown Las Vegas, Nevada. Development and entitlement work is nearly completed for both locations with anticipated construction and renovation scheduled to begin following receipt of funding.  In addition, our strategy has been to acquire used railcars and renovate them as opposed to acquiring expensive new equipment.  This has the dual effect of both reducing capital costs associated with operating their businessesby approximately 70% and can comprise up to 70%also providing a large pool of allavailable railcars for purchase upon demand.
Experienced Management and Board of their operating costs.  Our model projectsDirectors. We have a stabilized cost associated with hauling our trainstrong management team and board of directors comprised of negotiated ratesboth experienced industry professionals and successful entrepreneurs. Our CEO, Michael Barron has been a successful entrepreneur establishing and growing several companies over the past 30 years. Our board of directors is led by John McPherson, who has an extensive background in the rail industry. Mr. McPherson serves on the Board of Directors of CSX Corporation and has served as President/CEO of the Illinois Central Railroad, a Class 1 railroad and served as President/CEO of the Florida East Coast Railway. Under his leadership, Illinois Central and Florida East Coast became successively the most efficient railroads with the host railroads. Corporate overhead is minimal.lowest operating ratios in North America. In addition, three of our other directors are former managers of Union Pacific, Canadian National, Rail America, and Florida East Coast Industries.
 
Competition

Las Vegas Railway Express’ “X” Train will have no conventional passenger rail service competing against our product.

As of $1,820,113March 31, 2013 and $1,791,983 forMarch 31, 2012, we had cash of $1,262,615 and $53,632, respectively. For the years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, we incurred net losses of $6,766,091, and 2011,$2,006,033, respectively. As of March 31, 2012,2013, we havehad an aggregate accumulated deficit of $11,623,612.$18,575,623. We may never achieve profitability. The opinion of our independent registered public accountants on our audited financial statements as of and for the year ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 contains an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon raising capital from financing transactions and continued implementation of our business plan.
We currently have no revenues and are totally dependent upon the proceeds from future financing to fund our business.
We will have to fund all of our operations and capital expenditures from the net proceeds from future financings, as we have not yet generated revenues. There can be no assurance that we will be profitableable to raise the additional funding needed to implement our business plans or that unanticipated costs will not increase our projected expenses following completion of the financing.
We will need significant additional capital, which we may be unable to obtain.
The operation of a railroad is capital intensive and the Company will need to raise substantial amounts of additional capital to continue our operations. We estimate that we will need to obtain $80 million in additional capital to begin operations of our train service. There can be no assurance that additional funds will be available when needed from any source or, if available, will be available on terms that are acceptable to us. We may be required to pursue sources of additional capital through various means, including debt or equity financings. Future financings through equity investments are likely to be dilutive to existing stockholders. Also, the terms of securities we may issue in future capital transactions may be more favorable for our new investors. Newly issued securities may include preferences, superior voting rights, the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities, and the issuances of incentive awards under equity employee incentive plans, which may have additional dilutive effects. Further, we may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital and/or financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs. We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we may issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which will adversely impact our financial condition. Our ability to obtain needed financing may be impaired by such factors as the capital markets and our history of losses, which could impact the availability or cost of future financings. If the amount of capital we are able to raise from financing activities, together with our revenues from operations, is not sufficient to satisfy our capital needs, even to the extent that we reduce our operations accordingly, we may be required to cease operations.
We have incurred substantial indebtedness.
As of March 31, 2013 we have outstanding promissory notes (including accrued interest) of approximately $2,012,445.  Approximately $194,041 of such indebtedness is secured by substantially all of our assets including approximately $124,301 held by an affiliate of Michael Barron, our CEO and President. In the past, we have been in default under this debt.
9

There can be no assurances that we will raise sufficient capital or generate sufficient revenue in the future to service our debt. If legal proceedings were commenced against us or we are unable to service our debt, then creditors may foreclose on the debt and seize our assets which may force us to suspend or cease operations altogether.
Our indebtedness, combined with our other financial obligations and contractual commitments, could:
·  make it more difficult for us to satisfy its obligations with respect to the indebtedness and any failure to comply with the obligations under any of our debt instruments, including restrictive covenants, could result in further event of defaults under the loan agreements and instruments governing the indebtedness;
·  require us to dedicate a substantial portion of any cash raised from financing or cash flow from future operations to payments on our indebtedness, thereby reducing funds available for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, and other corporate purposes;
·  increase our vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions, which could place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to competitors that have relatively less indebtedness;
·  limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in business and the industry in which we operate; and
·  limit our ability to borrow additional funds, or to dispose of assets to raise funds, if needed, for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, and other corporate purposes.
We may incur significant additional indebtedness in the future. If we are not profitableincur a substantial amount of additional indebtedness, the related risks that it faces could become more significant. Additionally, the terms of any future debt that it may incur may impose requirements or restrictions that further affect our financial and cannot obtain sufficient capital we may haveoperating flexibility or subject it to cease our operations.other events of default.
 
Changes in government policy could negatively impact demandImplementation of our business plan depends upon our ability to enter into key contracts with certain key providers providing rights and services that are critical to our business plan.
 To execute our business plan we must enter into and maintain key contracts with certain key providers including:
·  Union Pacific Railroad for the right to operate the X-Train service on the railroads between Daggett, California and Las Vegas;
·  Amtrak for the provision of locomotive engineers, conductors, train servicing, maintenance, ticketing services, and other related services and for access to operate the X Train service on the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad  between Fullerton, California and Daggett, California; and
·  The City of Fullerton and the City of North Las Vegas for the development and operation of departure and arrival stations;
To date, we have entered into an agreement with Union Pacific Railroad and an MOU with Amtrak for the Company’s services impairlisted above.  We have also entered into an MOU with the City of Fullerton for use of their station for the Southern California terminus of the service.  We also have an MOU with Dielco Crane to lease 16.4 acres of its ability to price its services or increase its costs or liability exposure.property in North Las Vegas for a train station location and maintenance facility.
 
Changes in United States government policies could changeThere can be no assurance that we will enter into any further key contracts or that the macroeconomic 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 accesskey contracts will be on terms that are acceptable 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’sus. Our ability to maintain improveand build relationships with our key providers will be critical to our success. Even if we enter into key contracts with our key providers, we may not be able to preserve relationships and if any of these key providers reduce their commitment to us, terminate their agreements with us or expandenter into similar agreements with our competitors, this will have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.
In addition to the key contracts discussed above, our plans for growth and expansion may rely significantly on other agreements with other railroads and third parties, including joint ventures, strategic alliances and marketing agreements. Our ability to provide comprehensive rail network, facilitiesservice to our future customers depends in large part upon our ability to enter into and equipment in ordermaintain these other agreements and upon the performance of the obligations under the agreements by the other railroads and third parties.

If we commence commercial operations of the X-Train service, if sufficient numbers of travelers do not utilize our service, our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations will be adversely affected.
Our business model depends on our ability to accept or handle our Company’s increased demand. Federal or state spending on infrastructure improvements or incentives that favor other modesprovide an alternative means of transportation could alsobetween Los Angeles and Las Vegas. If we commence commercial operations of the X-Train service, utilization of our service depends upon the adoption of our service by leisure travelers as a viable alternative to existing options. We cannot assure you that leisure travelers will accept our service as a replacement for traveling by car or by airplane. Achieving market acceptance for the X-Train service will require substantial sales and marketing efforts and the expenditure of significant financial and other resources to create awareness and demand by leisure travelers. If we fail to achieve broad acceptance of the X-Train service or if we fail to position X-Train as a preferred method for travel, our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations will be adversely affect the Company’s revenues.affected.
 
The Company’s successOur business model depends on its abilityleisure travel demand on the route from the Los Angeles area to continue to comply with theLas Vegas. Any 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 regulationsdownturn in Las Vegas travel market could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
According to the Company. GovernmentsLas Vegas Convention Visitor Authority (LVCVA), there were approximately 38.9 million travelers to Las Vegas from the Southern California region in 2011. If demand for rail travel does not keep up with amount of service offered, competitive pressure may changecause reductions in average fare price.
The Las Vegas region also faces competition with legalized gaming from casinos located on Native American tribal lands. Native American tribes in California are permitted to operate casinos with video gaming machines, black jack and house-banked card games. The governor of California has entered into compacts with numerous tribes in California and has executed a number of compacts with no limits on the legislative and/number of gaming machines, which was limited under the prior compacts. The federal government has approved numerous compacts in California and casino-style gaming is now legal on those tribal lands. While the competitive impact on our operations in Las Vegas from the continued growth of Native American gaming establishments in California remains uncertain, the proliferation of gaming in California could have an adverse effect on Las Vegas travel and thus on our results of operations.
In addition, certain states have legalized, and others may legalize, casino gaming in specific areas, including metropolitan areas from which we traditionally attract customers, such as New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Boston. In October 2001, the New York legislature approved a bill for expanded casino gaming on Native American reservations and video lottery terminals at certain race tracks. In 2003 and 2004, Maine and Pennsylvania, respectively, approved legislation legalizing slot machines or regulatory framework withinsimilar electronic gaming devices at certain locations, although such legislation has not been implemented yet. A number of states have permitted or are considering permitting gaming at "racinos," on Native American reservations and through expansion of state lotteries. The current global trend toward liberalization of gaming restrictions and resulting proliferation of gaming venues could result in a decrease in the number of visitors to the Las Vegas area by attracting customers close to home and away from Las Vegas, which could adversely affect the Company operates without providing the Company with any recoursedemand for any adverse effects that the change may have on its business. Federal legislation enacted in 2008 mandates the implementationtravel to Las Vegas and thereby affect our financial condition, results 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 railroads’ infrastructure may pose significant operating and implementation risks and could require significant capital expenditures.operations or cash flows.
 
As part of theour planned Class I railroad operations, the Companywe will traverse rails that frequently transportstransport chemicals and other hazardous materials, which could expose itus 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 itstheir 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’sour operating results, financial condition or liquidity. In addition, insurance premiums charged for some or all of the coverage currently maintained by the Companyus could increase dramatically or certain coverage may not be available to the Companyus 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. 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. 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.
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. 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 may be able to offset a significant portion of these higher fuel costs through a fuel surcharge program or increase in ticket prices, which may result in 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’sOur success will be dependent on itsour ability to operate itsa 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’sour infrastructure due to natural or man-made disruptions could have an adverse effect on the Company’sour 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’sour 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.

The Company’s operationalOperational 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’sour future operations may be negatively affected by service disruptions of other entities such as ports and other railroads which interchange with the Companyus and itsour Class I railroad partners. A significant prolonged service disruption of one or more of these entities could have an adverse effect on the Company’sour 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’sour business operations.
 
Terrorist attacks and any government response to those types of attacks and war or risk of war may adversely affect the Company’sour results of operations, financial condition or liquidity. The Company’sOur proposed 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’sour 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 Companyus could increase dramatically, the coverage available may not adequately compensate itus for certain types of incidents and certain coverage’scoverages may not be available to the Companyus in the future.
 
The Company dependsWe expect to depend on the stability and availability of itsour information technology systems.
 
The Company reliesWe expect to rely on information technology in all aspects of itsour business. A significant disruption or failure of itsour information technology systems could result in service interruptions,and revenue collections,collection interruptions, 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 takenwe anticipate taking steps to mitigate these risks, a significant disruption could adversely affect the Company’sour results of operations, financial condition or liquidity. Additionally, if the Company iswe are unable to acquire or implement new technology, itwe may suffer a competitive disadvantage, which could also have an adverse effect on the Company’sour results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
 
The Company isWe may in the future become subject to various claims and lawsuits, and increases in the amount or severity of these claims and lawsuits could adversely affect the Company’sour operating results, financial condition and liquidity.
 
As part of itsour proposed railroad operations, the Company’s Class I railroad partners arewe may become 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 believesWe believe 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’sour operating results, financial condition and liquidity.

We expect that most of the Company’sour future host railroad employees arewill be represented by unions, and failure to negotiate reasonable collective bargaining agreements may result in strikes, work stoppages or substantially higher ongoing labor costs.
 
AWe expect that a significant majority of the Class I railroads employees arethat we plan to employ will be 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 CompanyIf we 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’sour operating results, financial condition or liquidity.
 
11

The unavailability of qualified personnel in the future could adversely affect the Company’sour operations.
 
Changes in demographics, training requirements and the unavailability of qualified personnel, particularly engineers and trainmen, could negatively impact the Company’sour future ability to meet demand for rail service. Recruiting and retaining qualified personnel, particularly those with expertise in the railroad industry, arewill be vital to our future operations. Although the Company has adequate personnel for the current business environment, unpredictableUnpredictable 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’sour operating results, financial condition or liquidity.

We will need to increase the size of our organization, and may experience difficulties in managing growth.
We are a small company with a minimal number of employees. With the start of our planned principal activities, we expect to experience a period of significant expansion in headcount, facilities, infrastructure and overhead and anticipate that further expansion will be required to address potential growth and market opportunities. Future growth will impose significant added responsibilities on members of management, including the need to identify, recruit, maintain and integrate managers. Our future financial performance and our ability to compete effectively will depend, in part, on our ability to manage any future growth effectively.
The loss of any of our executive officers, directors or key personnel would likely have an adverse effect on our business.
Our independent certified public accounting firm, in their reportfuture success depends to a significant extent on the audited financial statementscontinued 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 operations.
Risks Related to Our Industry
Changes in government policy could negatively impact demand for our future services, impair our ability to price our future services or increase our costs or liability exposure.
Changes in United States government policies could change the year ended Marchmacroeconomic environment and affect demand for our future 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 our ability to determine prices for rail services and significantly affect the revenues, costs and profitability of tour business. Additionally, because of the significant costs to maintain our future rail network, an increase in expenditures related to the maintenance of the rails owned by the Class I railroads could hinder our ability to maintain, improve or expand the rail network, facilities and equipment in order to accept or handle any increased demand. Federal or state spending on infrastructure improvements or incentives that favor other modes of transportation could also adversely affect any future revenues.
13

Our success depends on our ability to continue to comply with the significant federal, state and local governmental regulations to which we are subject.
We are subject to a significant amount of governmental laws and regulation with respect to our 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 us. Governments may change the legislative and/or regulatory framework within which we operate without providing us with any recourse for any adverse effects that the change may have on its business. For example, federal legislation enacted in 2008 mandates the implementation of positive train control technology by December 31, 2012, states that there2015, 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 a substantial doubtnew and deploying it across our host railroads’ infrastructure may pose significant operating and implementation risks and could require significant capital expenditures.
We are subject to stringent environmental laws and regulations, which may impose significant costs on our business operations.
Our 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 any diesel locomotives, equipment, vehicles and other machinery that we willmay operate.  Emission regulations could also adversely affect fuel efficiency and increase operating costs. Further, local concerns on emissions and other forms of pollution could inhibit our 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. We may in the future be subject to allegations or findings to the effect that we have violated, or are strictly liable under, these laws or regulations. Any future operating results, financial condition or liquidity could be adversely affected as a result of any of the foregoing, and we may be required to incur significant expenses to investigate and remediate environmental contamination.
Fuel supply availability and fuel prices may adversely affect our 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 increase fuel costs resulting in reduced margins. Each of these factors could have an adverse effect on our operating results, financial condition or liquidity. If the price of fuel increases substantially, we may be able to continue asoffset a going concern.significant portion of these higher fuel costs through a fuel surcharge program or increase in ticket prices, which may result in loss of customers.
 
Our auditors' reportDownturns in the economy could adversely affect demand for our future services.
Significant, extended negative changes in domestic and global economic conditions that impact future customers transported by us and may have an adverse effect on our auditedoperating results, financial condition or liquidity. Declines in economic growth and the United States travel industry all could result in reduced revenues.
Negative changes in general economic conditions could lead to disruptions in the credit markets, increase credit risks and could adversely affect our financial condition or liquidity.
Challenging economic conditions may not only affect future revenues due to reduced demand for many goods and services, but could result in payment delays and increased credit 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 our cost structure, our timely access to capital to meet financing needs and costs of our financings.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock
A large percentage of our stock is owned by relatively few people, including officers and directors.
As of March 31, 2012 financial statements,2013, our officers and Note 2directors beneficially owned approximately 28.6% of our outstanding common stock.  As a result,  these stockholders could, if they were to such financial statements, reflectact together, affect the factoutcome of stockholder votes, which could, among other things, affect elections of directors, delay or prevent a change in control or other transaction that without raising additional financing through loans or stock sales, it wouldmight 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. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital and if we are unable to do so we may have to cease operations.beneficial other stockholders.

RISKS RELATING TO OUR COMMON STOCK

We have not paid dividends on common stock in the past and do not expect to pay dividends in the future.  Any return on investment may be limited to the value of our common stock.

We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future.  The payment of dividends on our common stock would depend on earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting it at such time as the Board of Directors may consider relevant.  If we do not pay dividends, our common stock may be less valuable because a return on youra shareholder’s investment will only occur if itsour stock price appreciates.

There is a limited market for our common stock which may make it more difficult for stockholders to dispose of your stock.their shares .

Our common stock is currently quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin BoardOTCQB under the symbol "XTRN".  There is a limited trading market for our common stock.  Accordingly, there can be no assurance as to the liquidity of any markets that may develop for our common stock, the ability of holders of our common stock to sell our common stock, or the prices at which holders may be able to sell our common stock.

The price of our common stock is volatile, which may cause investment losses for our stockholders.
The market for our common stock is highly volatile, having ranged in the last twelve months from a low of $0.07 to a high of $0.20 on the OTCQB. The trading price of our common stock on the OTCQB is subject to wide fluctuations in response to, among other things, quarterly variations in operating and financial results, and general economic and market conditions. In addition, statements or changes in opinions, ratings, or earnings estimates made by brokerage firms or industry analysts relating to our market or relating to us could result in an immediate and adverse effect on the market price of our common stock. The highly volatile nature of our stock price may cause investment losses for our shareholders. In the past, securities class action litigation has often been brought against companies following periods of volatility in the market price of their securities. If securities class action litigation is brought against us, such litigation could result in substantial costs while diverting management’s attention and resources.
A sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock may cause the price of our common stock to decline.

If our stockholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, the market price of our common stock could fall.  These sales also may make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate.

15

Our common stock could be further diluted as the result of the issuance of additional shares of common stock, convertible securities, warrants or options.
In the past, we have issued common stock, convertible securities (such as convertible debentures and notes) and warrants in order to raise money. We have also issued options and warrants as compensation for services and incentive compensation for our employees and directors. We have shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon the exercise of certain of these securities and may increase the shares reserved for these purposes in the future. Our issuance of additional common stock, convertible securities, options and warrants could affect the rights of our stockholders, result in a reduction in the overall percentage holdings of our stockholders, could put downward pressure on the market price of our common stock, could result in adjustments to exercise prices of outstanding warrants, and could obligate us to issue additional shares of common stock to certain of our stockholders.
Shares eligible for future sale may adversely affect the market.
From time to time, certain of our stockholders may be eligible to sell all or some of their shares of common stock by means of ordinary brokerage transactions in the open market pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, subject to certain limitations. In general, pursuant to amended Rule 144, non-affiliate stockholders may sell freely after six months subject only to the current public information requirement. Affiliates may sell after six months subject to the Rule 144 volume, manner of sale (for equity securities), and current public information and notice requirements. Any substantial sales of our common stock pursuant to Rule 144 may have a material adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.
Our common stock is subject to the "Penny Stock" rules of the SEC and the trading market in our securities is limited, which makes transactions in our stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our stock.

The SEC has adopted Rule 3a51-1 which establishes the definition of a "penny stock", for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price 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, Rule 15g-9 requires:
 
·  that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks; and
·  that the broker or dealer receives from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.

In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:

·  obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and
·  make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.
 
12


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.
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) sales practice requirements may limit a shareholder’s ability to buy and sell our common shares.
In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.
If we fail to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, the price of our common stock may be adversely affected.
Our internal control over financial reporting may have weaknesses and conditions that could require correction or remediation, the disclosure of which may have an adverse impact on the price of our common stock.  We are required to establish and maintain appropriate internal control over financial reporting.  Failure to establish those controls, or any failure of those controls once established, could adversely affect our public disclosures regarding our business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.  In addition, management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting may identify weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal control over financial reporting or other matters that may raise concerns for investors.  Any actual or perceived weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal control over financial reporting or disclosure of management’s assessment of our internal control over financial reporting may have an adverse impact on the price of our common stock.
We are required to comply with certain provisions of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and if we fail to comply in a timely manner, our business could be harmed and our stock price could decline.
Rules adopted by the SEC pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 require an annual assessment of internal control over financial reporting, and for certain issuers an attestation of this assessment by the issuer’s independent registered public accounting firm.  The standards that must be met for management to assess the internal control over financial reporting as effective are evolving and complex, and require significant documentation, testing, and possible remediation to meet the detailed standards.  We expect to incur significant expenses and to devote resources to Section 404 compliance on an ongoing basis.  It is difficult for us to predict how long it will take or costly it will be to complete the assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for each year and to remediate any deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting. As a result, we may not be able to complete the assessment and remediation process on a timely basis.  In addition, although attestation requirements by our independent registered public accounting firm are not presently applicable to us we could become subject to these requirements in the future and we may encounter problems or delays in completing the implementation of any resulting changes to internal control over financial reporting.  In the event that our Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer determine that our internal control over financial reporting is not effective as defined under Section 404, we cannot predict how regulators will react or how the market prices of our shares will be affected; however, we believe that there is a risk that investor confidence and share value may be negatively affected.

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 5:005 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, collectiblescollection of accounts receivable, andreceivables, 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.

Intangible and Long-Lived AssetsAssets:

We followGoodwill represents the excess of purchase price over tangible and intangible assets acquired, less liabilities assumed arising from the acquisition of the train business on November 23, 2009.  Goodwill is not amortized, but is reviewed for potential impairment on an annual basis at the reporting unit level.  On March 31, 2013, as required by the "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other" topic of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) Topic 360, “Property Plant, the Company conducted an analysis of the goodwill on its single reporting unit using the Company’s market capitalization (based on Level 1 inputs). For the fiscal years ending March 31, 2013 and Equipment”2012, our assessment for impairment found that there is no impairment of goodwill. The Company has no accumulated impairment losses on goodwill.

Income Taxes:

The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC 740 "Income Taxes.", which establishes a “primary asset” approach to determine  Under the cash flow estimation periodasset and liability method of FASB ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for a groupthe expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities that representsusing enacted tax rates in effect for the unityear in which the differences are expected to reverse.  The deferred tax assets of accountingthe Company relate primarily to operating loss carryforwards for a long lived asset to be held and used.  Long-livedfederal income tax purposes. A full valuation allowance for deferred tax assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicatehas been provided because the Company believes it is not more likely than not that the carrying amountdeferred tax asset will be realized. Realization of an asset may notdeferred tax assets is dependent on the Company generating sufficient taxable income in future periods.

The Company’s goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. This difference creates a deferred tax liability, which cannot be recoverable.matched with the Company’s deferred tax asset. As a result, the Company cannot net it with its net operating loss carryforward and therefore records a deferred tax liability to reflect the future non-deductibility of its goodwill asset. 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 usedeferred tax liability at March 31, 2013 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.2012 was $55,914 and $42,343, respectively.

The Company periodically evaluates its tax positions to determine whether it is more likely than not that such positions would be sustained upon examination by a tax authority for all open tax years, as defined by the statute of limitations, based on their technical merits. As of March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company has not established a liability for uncertain tax positions.

Share Based Payment:

The Company issues stock, options and warrants as share-based compensation to employees and non-employees.

The Company accounts for its share-based compensation to employees in accordance FASB ASC 718.  Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. 

Goodwill is accountedThe Company accounts for share-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants 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 2012 or 2011.
Stock-Based Compensation

As required by the Stock-based Compensation Topicprovisions of FASB ASC 505-50 “Equity - Based Payments to Non-Employees.” Measurement of share-based payment transactions in which the Company exchanges its equity instruments for goods or serviceswith non-employees 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 whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the Company’sgoods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments orissued. The final fair value of the share-based payment transaction is determined at the performance completion date. For interim periods, the fair value is estimated and the percentage of completion is applied to that estimate to determine the cumulative expense recorded.

The Company values stock compensation based on the market price on the measurement date. As described above, for employees this is the date of grant, and for non-employees, this is the date of performance completion.

The Company values stock options and warrants that do not qualify as derivative instruments using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  
Certain warrants qualify as derivative instruments and are valued using the binomial lattice method. See discussion below regarding accounting for derivative liabilities.
Derivative Liabilities:

In connection with the private placement of Convertible Notes beginning in February 2013, the Company became contingently obligated to issue shares in excess of the 200 million authorized by shareholders. Consequently, the ability to settle these obligations with shares would be unavailable causing these obligations to potentially be settled in cash. This condition creates a derivative liability.

The Company has a sequencing policy regarding share settlement wherein instruments with the earliest issuance date would be settled first. The sequencing policy also considers contingently issuable additional shares, such as those issuable upon a stock split, to have an issuance date to coincide with the event giving rise to the additional shares.

Using this sequencing policy, all instruments convertible into common stock, including warrants and the conversion feature of notes payable, issued subsequent to February 19, 2013 are derivative liabilities.

The Company also has certain warrants and notes payable with elements that qualify as derivatives. The warrants have anti-dilution clauses that prevent calculation of the ultimate number of shares that may be settled byissued upon exercise, and two of the issuancenotes payable had a variable conversion feature that similarly prevented the calculation of those equity instruments.the number of shares into which they were convertible.

IfThe Company values these warrants and notes payable using the binomial lattice method.  The resulting liability is valued at each reporting date and the change in the liability is reflected as change in derivative liability in the statement of operations.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

The Company's financial instruments as defined by FASB ASC 825-10-50 include cash, notes payable and derivative liabilities.  Derivative liabilities are recorded at fair value.  The principal balance of notes payable approximates fair value because current interest rates and terms offered to the Company issues stock for services whichsimilar debt are performed over a period of time,substantially the Company capitalizes the value paid in the equity section of the Company’s financial statements as 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.same.

We useFASB 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.

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 methodestimation is classified as Level 3. The process for equity instruments granted to non-employees and will use the Black-Scholes model or similar methodologies for measuring thedetermining fair value using unobservable inputs is generally more subjective and involves a high degree of options, if issued. The stock basedmanagement judgment and assumptions. These assumptions may have a significant effect on our estimates of fair value, compensation is determinedand the use of different assumptions as well as changes in market conditions could have a material effect on our results of the date of the grantoperations or the date at which the performance of the services is completed (measurement date) and is recognized over any vesting periods.financial condition.

Operating Expenses

Compensation and payroll taxes were $1,128,689increased by $1,812,461, or 148.3% during the year ended March 31, 2013 as compared to 2012.  The increase in compensation expense is related to the hiring of additional full-time employees, addition of board members and $780,849 (44.5% increase), selling,issuing stock grants and warrants for compensation. We had an increase in our professional fee expenses during the year ended March 31, 2013 of $1,347,793 due to legal, consulting and accounting services.  Selling, general and administrative expenses were $233,578increased by $417,926, or 178.9% during 2013 primarily due to higher costs  associated with marketing, advertising, insurance and $314,834 (25.8% decrease)rent expense.

Other (Expense) Income

Interest expense increased by $1,903,074, or 644.8%, professional fees were $268,731during 2013 primarily due to an increase in expenses associated with the amortization of discounts relating to the issuance of warrants in connection with our convertible notes payable issued during February and $752,052 (64.3% decrease),March 2013.  Amortization of discounts on notes payable resulting from the issuance of warrants and depreciation expenseamortization of capitalized debt financing costs amounted to $2,165,385 in 2013.  This increase was $320 and $0 foroffset by a net operating loss of $1,631,318 versus $1,847,735 (11.7% decrease).  Increase in payroll and decrease in professional fee were causedother interest expense in 2013 due to a lower average debt outstanding during the year.  Our change in derivative liability amounted to $270,466 during 2013 which resulted from a decrease in the valuation of derivatives during the year.  In 2012, the value of our derivative liabilities decreased by hiring employees instead of using consultants.$37,086.

For the years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, interest income was $0 and $3,000. Interest expense was $207,792 and $198,813 (4.5% increase). Net loss from continuing operations for the years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 were $1,839,109 and $1,808,140 (1.7% increase)..
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 has no operating revenues and is currently dependent on financing and sale of stock to fund operations.

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has net losses of $6,766,091 and negative cash flows from operations since our inception.  We have sustained losses from continuing operations of $1,820,113 and $1,791,983$2,006,033 for the years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, and 2011, respectively.  

We continueThe Company also has an accumulated deficit of $18,757,623 as of March 31, 2013, as well as outstanding convertible notes payable of $1,795,000 which are payable on February 1, 2014.  Management believes that it will need additional equity or debt financing 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 consummateimplement the business plan.  Given the lack of revenue, capital deficiency and negative working capital, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The accompanying financial statements do not include any fund raising transactions on terms acceptableadjustments related to us or at all.  the recoverability and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

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.

ThereManagement is attempting to raise additional equity and debt to sustain operations until it can market its services and achieves profitability.  The successful outcome of future activities cannot be determined at this time and there are no assuranceassurances that, weif achieved, the Company will be successful in achieving our long-term plans as set forth above,have sufficient funds to execute its intended business plan or that such plans, if consummated, will enable us to obtain profitable operations or continue in the long-term.

Discontinued Operations – Loan Portfoliodebt.

Results of Operations

23
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 $52,506, respectively, a decrease of $48,191 (91.3%).  

Expenses for discontinued operations were $32,649 and $36,349, for the years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, a decrease of $3,700 or 10.2%.  Expenses were primarily interest costs on notes from discontinued liabilities.

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.

LAS VEGAS RAILWAY EXPRESS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 20122013 and 20112012


(1)  Description of Business:

Las Vegas Railway Express, 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, pursuant to a common 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:
 
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.  America ("GAAP").    

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 $1,820,113$6,766,091 and $1,791,983$2,006,033 for the years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, and 2011, respectively.  Although a substantial portionThe Company also has an accumulated deficit of the Company’s cumulative net loss is attributable to discontinued operations, management$18,575,623 as of March 31, 2013, as well as outstanding convertible notes payable of $1,795,000 which are payable on February 1, 2014.  Management believes that it will need additional equity or debt financing to be able to implement the business plan.  These matters raiseGiven the lack of revenue, capital deficiency and negative working capital, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Management is attempting to raise additional equity and debt to sustain operations until it can market its services and achieves profitability.  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.

Reclassifications:

Certain prior year data has been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.  The reclassifications have not impacted the previously reported results of operations, net losses or cash flows.

Risks and Uncertainties:

The Company operates in an industry that is subject to intense competition and potential government regulations.  Significant changes in regulations and the abilityinability 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, 2012 AND 2011


Use of Estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principlesGAAP 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, theThe 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 $320$1,976 and $0$320 for the years ended March 31, 20122013 and 2011,2012, 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 the acquisition of the train business acquisitions.on November 23, 2009.  Goodwill is not amortized, but is reviewed for potential impairment on an annual basis at the reporting unit level.  On March 31, 2012, asAs required by the Intangible"Intangibles - Goodwill and Other" topic of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards CouncilCodification (“FASB ASC”), the Company conducted an analysis of the goodwill determined on January 21, 2010 withits single reporting unit using the acquisition of LVRE, Nevada.Company’s market capitalization (based on Level 1 inputs). For the fiscal yearyears ending March 31, 2013 and 2012, our valuationthe 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, 2012 and 2011, thegoodwill. The Company had recorded Goodwill of $843,697 and $843,697, respectively.has no accumulated impairment losses on goodwill.

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share:

In accordance with SFAS No. 128,FASB ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share,” the basic loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders after reducing net income by preferred stock dividend,dividends, 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, 20122013 and 20112012 as the amounts are anti-dilutive.  As of March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had 2,000,000 outstanding options which were excluded from the computation of net income per share because they are anti-dilutive.  As of March 31, 2013, the Company also had convertible debt of $1,795,000 that is convertible into 35,900,000 shares of common stock which was excluded from the computation.  As of March 31, 2013, the Company had 58,496,842 outstanding warrants which were also excluded from the computation because they were anti-dilutive.

Income Taxes:

The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC 740 "Income Taxes.Taxes."  Under the asset and liability method of FASB ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences attributable to differences betweenof events that have been included in the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respectiveor tax bases. Deferredreturns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are measureddetermined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in effect for the yearsyear in which those temporarythe differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under FASB ASC 740, the effect onreverse.  The deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change inthe Company relate primarily to operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs.purposes. A full valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets ifhas been provided because the Company believes it is not more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on the Company generating sufficient taxable income in future periods.

The Company’s goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. This difference creates a deferred tax liability, which cannot be matched with the Company’s deferred tax asset. As a result, the Company cannot net it with its net operating loss carryforward and therefore records a deferred tax liability to reflect the future non-deductibility of its goodwill asset. The deferred tax liability at March 31, 2013 and 2012 was $55,914 and $42,343, respectively.
The Company periodically evaluates its tax positions to determine whether it is more likely than not that such positions would be sustained upon examination by a tax authority for all open tax years, as defined by the statute of limitations, based on their technical merits. As of March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company willhas not realizeestablished a liability for uncertain tax assets through future operations.positions.

Stock Issued for Services:Share Based Payment:

FASB ASC 718 "Compensation - Stock Compensation" prescribes accountingThe Company issues stock, options and reporting standards for all stock-based payments awardwarrants as share-based compensation 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 accounts for stock-basedshare-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 505-50 "Equity - Based Payments to Non-Employees."Non-Employees.” Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees shall beis based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The final fair value of the share-based payment transaction should beis determined at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date. For interim periods, the fair value is estimated and the percentage of completion is applied to that estimate to determine the cumulative expense recorded.

The Company values stock compensation based on the market price on the measurement date. As described above, for employees this is the date of grant, and for non-employees, this is the date of performance completion.

The Company values stock options and warrants that do not qualify as derivative instruments using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  Assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model to value warrants issued during the year ended March 31, 2013 are as follows:
  Year Ended Year Ended
  March 31, March 31,
  2013 2012
     
Expected life in years 1.5 - 10 years N/A
Stock price volatility 158.6% - 286.0% N/A
Risk free interest rate 0.25% - 1.62% N/A
Expected dividends None N/A
Forfeiture rate 0% N/A
Certain warrants qualify as derivative instruments and are valued using the binomial lattice method. See discussion below regarding accounting for derivative liabilities.
Derivative Liabilities:

In connection with the private placement of Convertible Notes beginning in February 2013, the Company became contingently obligated to issue shares in excess of the 200 million authorized by shareholders. Consequently, the ability to settle these obligations with shares would be unavailable causing these obligations to potentially be settled in cash. This condition creates a derivative liability.

The Company has a sequencing policy regarding share settlement wherein instruments with the earliest issuance date would be settled first. The sequencing policy also considers contingently issuable additional shares, such as those issuable upon a stock split, to have an issuance date to coincide with the event giving rise to the additional shares.

Using this sequencing policy, all instruments convertible into common stock, including warrants and the conversion feature of notes payable, issued subsequent to February 19, 2013 are derivative liabilities.

The Company also has certain warrants and notes payable with elements that qualify as derivatives. The warrants have anti-dilution clauses that prevent calculation of the ultimate number of shares that may be issued upon exercise, and two of the notes payable had a variable conversion feature that similarly prevented the calculation of the number of shares into which they were convertible.

The Company values these warrants and notes payable using the binomial lattice method.  The resulting liability is valued at each reporting date and the change in the liability is reflected as change in derivative liability in the statement of operations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

The Company's financial instruments as defined by FASB ASC 825-10-50 include cash, trade accounts receivable, accountsnotes payable and accrued expenses.  All instrumentsderivative liabilities.  Derivative liabilities are accounted for on a historical cost basis, which, due to the short maturityrecorded at fair value.  The principal balance of these financial instruments, approximates fair value at March 31, 2012.  The amounts shown for notes payable approximateapproximates 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 arethe Company is not able to corroborate these prices by other available relevant market information, we estimate theirthe fair values byare estimated 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 ourthe estimates of fair value, and the use of different assumptions as well as changes in market conditions could have a material effect on ourthe results of operations or financial condition.
 
New Accounting Pronouncements:
Issued

In 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 reduce complexity and costs by allowing an entity the option to make a qualitative evaluation about the likelihood of goodwill impairment to determine whether it should calculate the fair value of a reporting unit. The amendments also improve previous guidance by expanding upon the examples of events and circumstances that an entity should consider between annual impairment tests in determining whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The amendments 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 reporting period beginning January 1, 2012. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’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 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.

During February and March 2013, the Company issued a series of convertible notes payable (the “Convertible Notes”) to investors for total proceeds of $1,900,000.  The Convertible Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.05 per share at the option of the debt holder.  The Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum, and have a maturity date of February 1, 2014.  Prior to March 31, 2013, the debt holders converted $105,000 of outstanding principal into 2,100,000 shares of common stock.  As a result, as of March 31, 2013, the remaining gross principal balance of convertible notes payable outstanding amounted to $1,795,000.

32

The Company does not have sufficient authorized shares to cover the conversion feature of the convertible notes.  The conversion feature of the Convertible Notes issued after February 19, 2013 created a derivative liability for the Company. See Note 7, Derivative Instruments. The conversion feature of the notes issued prior to February 19, 2013 was beneficial to the holder and was recorded as a discount to the notes based on its intrinsic value. The discount related to the beneficial conversion feature was $440,000.

See Note 7, Derivative Instruments.

Warrants issued prior to February 19, 2013 were valued using the Black-Scholes method using the following assumptions: (1) life of warrants of 3 years, (2) annualized volatility of 158.6% – 179.2%, (3) fair value of stock as of grant date of $0.11, (4) exercise price of $0.10, (5) annual dividend rate of 0%, and (6) discount rate of 0.36% - 0.44%.  Such calculations resulted in a total aggregate warrant value of $857,007.

The proceeds of the Convertible Notes issued prior to February 19, 2013 were allocated to the notes and equity classified warrants based on their relative fair values on a weighted average basis, with the resulting allocated value of the shares at timewarrants of vesting.  The Company accounts for debt with detachable warrants in accordance with ASC 470: Debt and determined the fair value to be ascribed$290,733 being recorded as a discount to the detachablenotes payable.  This discount is being amortized through the maturity date of February 1, 2014.

The value of the derivative liabilities and discounts created through the issuance of the Convertible Notes and warrants issuedas described above exceeded the proceeds of the Convertible Notes by $2,613,810. This excess was recorded as interest expense on the issuance dates of each note and warrant.

Consequently, the ability to settle these obligations with shares would be unavailable causing these obligations to potentially be settled in cash. This condition creates a derivative is recorded to derivative liability.  This liability is required to be marked each reporting period.  The resulting discount on the debt is amortized to interest expense over the life of the related debt.  For the years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had $80,522 and $80,522, respectively, associated with options and has recorded such expense on the Company’s statement of operations in Selling, General and Administrative. The options were vested in calculating stock based compensation, 80% and 60% for the periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

At March 31, 2012,The Company has a sequencing policy regarding share settlement wherein instruments with the Company had approximately $80,524 of total unrecognized compensation cost relatedearliest issuance date would be settled first. The sequencing policy also considers contingently issuable additional shares, such as those issuable upon a stock split or anti-dilution, to unvested stock options. This cost is expectedhave an issuance date to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1 year.  No options were exercised duringcoincide with the years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.  (See footnote 9)event giving rise to the additional shares.

Using this sequencing policy, all instruments convertible into common stock, including warrants and the conversion feature of notes payable, issued subsequent to February 19, 2013 are classified as derivative liabilities.

Other Derivatives

The Company has certain warrants and notes payable with elements that qualify as derivatives. The warrants have anti-dilution clauses that prevent calculation of the ultimate number of shares that may be issued upon exercise, and two of the notes payable had a variable conversion feature that similarly prevented the calculation of the number of shares into which they were convertible.

We estimate the value of stock option grants using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Stock compensation is recognized straight line over the vesting period.(9)  Share Based Compensation:

2012Stock-Option Plan

The Company’s 2011 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 theseCompany granted 2,000,000 of stock options was estimated at the date of grant,on 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 $0.45.2008.  No additional options have been granted.

Our employment agreement with Wanda Witoslawski requires her to perform the duties of Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of the Company for the twelve-monthsduration of the employment agreement.  During the term of this Agreement, the Company agrees to pay Ms. Witoslawski a base salary at the rate of $120,000 per year.  Base salary will be increased to $200,000 per year based only upon receipt of significant corporate or public funding.  Additionally, a total of 1 million shares per year will be vested quarterly, in arrears, for a total period of 3 years for a total of 3 million shares.  In addition, Mrs. Witoslawski is entitled to receive an incentive or performance bonus as follows:  1) Upon the Company‘s execution of a definitive agreement with AMTRAK, Ms. Witoslawski shall be granted 500,000 shares, 2) Upon the Company’s execution of a definitive agreement with BNSF, Ms. Witoslawski shall be granted 250,000 shares, 3) Upon the Company’s execution of a definitive agreement with Union Pacific, Ms. Witoslawski shall be granted 250,000 shares, 4) Upon the Company’s execution of a definitive agreement with a rail car provider, Ms. Witoslawski shall be granted 250,000 shares, 5) Upon the Company’s completion of its operation of its first train between Los Angeles and Las Vegas, Ms. Witoslawski shall be granted 750,000 shares.  She is also entitled to a car allowance of $500 per month.  Her employment agreement provides that if we terminate her without cause, she is entitled to receive a lump sum payment equal to twice her annual salary plus the present value of a performance bonus computed on the basis that we achieve all of our performance targets.  Mrs. Witoslawski’s employment agreement commenced as of February 1, 2012.

The above shares to be granted pursuant to the employment agreements were valued as of the agreement commencement dates and since it is probable the performance will be met, the Company is accruing the compensation cost over the implicit service period.  The unrecognized compensation cost is $102,558 and will be recognized during the year ended March 31, 2012 and 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 current with the 2011 tax return expected to be filed by the due date of the return.2014.

ASC 740 requires that the tax benefit of net operating losses carry forwards be recorded as an asset to the extent that management assesses that realization is “more likely than not.”  Realization of the future tax benefits is dependent on the Company’s ability to generate sufficient taxable income within the carry forward period.  Because of the Company’s recent history of operating losses, management believes that recognition of the deferred tax assets arising from the above-mentioned future tax benefits is currently not likely to be realized and, accordingly, has provided a 100% valuation allowance against the asset amounts.

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.
 
42


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.officers, except that Dianne David Barron, the Company's Manager of Station Development is the spouse of the CEO, Michael A. Barron.

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.
