NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - June 15, 2010) - Barely a month after Sparta Commercial Services, Inc. (OTCBB: [ SRCO ]) announced that their Municipal Lease Program was under consideration by Raleigh, NC as an alternative to the purchasing of police motorcycles, the company announced today that the anticipated transaction with Raleigh has in fact been concluded.

Utilizing Sparta's Municipal Lease Program, Raleigh is acquiring a new fleet of BMW police motorcycles, with the vehicles being provided by Capitol BMW in Raleigh. As a result of Raleigh's choice to lease, rather than purchase, the new fleet through the Sparta program, the city is avoiding the burden of having to pay the entire cost of the fleet up-front by buying the motorcycles outright. Unlike the purchasing method, the Sparta Municipal Lease Program enables Raleigh to pay the cost of the vehicles over time, thereby lowering the capital outlay and controlling the city's annual budget for this purpose.

Sparta's Municipal Lease Program is becoming increasingly popular among municipalities throughout the country as a result of local and state governments experiencing shrinking revenues and budgetary constraints. An additional feature of the Sparta program is the broad range of asset classes that can be leased, including, in addition to police motorcycles, EMS and other emergency vehicles, police cruisers, tactical vehicles, surveillance systems, a variety of trucks, and other essential equipment.

Commenting on the transaction with Raleigh, Anthony Havens, Sparta's CEO, said, "We're very pleased to be able to add Raleigh to our expanding base of municipal customers, and to be able to help these governmental agencies during their difficult economic challenges. We're proud that we can provide this kind of support to cities and towns throughout the country, and we expect to continue to see a growing demand for our Municipal Lease Program in the coming months."
