Sparta Expands Its Presence in the Municipal Leasing Market Company Will Lease Tactical and Emergency Vehicles in Addition to Motorcycles NEW YORK, NY--(MARKET WIRE)--Aug 25, 2008 -- Sparta Commercial Services, Inc. (OTC BB:SRCO.OB - News), a leading
provider of consumer financing and leasing solutions to
the powersports industry, is expanding the asset classes
eligible for its
Municipal Leasing Program currently available to law enforcement
agencies,
thereby enabling Sparta to focus on a wider municipal leasing
market, which
the company believes has substantial potential over the
next few years. "In February 2007, we launched our new Municipal Leasing Program designed expressly to meet the need for police motorcycles among law enforcement agencies throughout the U.S., an annual market we estimate exceeds $300 million," stated Anthony Havens, CEO of Sparta Commercial Services, Inc. "At the request of these agencies, we have now added other asset classes to the eligible collateral that qualify for our Municipal Leasing Program. As an exhibitor at the Police Fleet Expo 2008 in Milwaukee last week, we met with various law enforcement officials and vendors who expressed the need to have the ability to lease these other classes of vehicles, in addition to motorcycles, such as all types of tactical and emergency service vehicles, patrol cars, helicopters, and other equipment now required by many jurisdictions around the country. We were also approached by certain specialty vehicle manufacturers asking us to provide terms to the budget constrained municipalities that were having trouble finding plans to meet their needs. We see this as a significant opportunity to further serve this market." Havens concluded by saying, "We will be expanding the asset classes that will qualify to be leased to all levels of governmental agencies. We see the municipal market as a great opportunity for Sparta, given the advantage of these additional qualifying classes of assets that we now have and we look forward to aggressively serving that market and expect it to have a long term positive impact."
