DEBT RESOLVE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2009
(Unaudited)
|
|
NOTE 1. | BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND MANAGEMENT’S LIQUIDITY PLANS: |
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Debt Resolve Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Debt Resolve”, “we”, “us”, “our”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows at the dates and for the periods indicated. Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) applicable to quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements. While the Company believes that the disclosures presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009, or any other interim period.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The Company has suffered significant recurring operating losses, has a working capital deficiency and needs to raise additional capital in order to be able to accomplish its business plan objectives. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The audited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset amounts or the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. For the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company had inadequate revenues and incurred a net loss of $714,775 from continuing operations. Cash used in operating and investing activities of continuing operations was $33,189 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. In addition, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $6,935,947 on continuing operations as of March 31, 2009. Based upon projected operating expenses, the Company believes that its working capital as of the date of this report is not sufficient to fund its plan of operations for the next twelve months. The aforementioned factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company needs to raise additional capital in order to be able to accomplish its business plan objectives. The Company has historically satisfied its capital needs primarily from the sale of debt and equity securities. Management of the Company is continuing its efforts to secure additional funds through debt and/or equity instruments. Management believes that it will be successful in obtaining additional financing; however, no assurance can be provided that the Company will be able to do so. There is no assurance that these funds will be sufficient to enable the Company to attain profitable operations or continue as a going concern. To the extent that the Company is unsuccessful, the Company may need to curtail its operations and implement a plan to extend payables and reduce overhead until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations. There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful. In the alternative, the Company may be required to file for bankruptcy. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: |
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of First Performance Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary, together with its wholly-owned subsidiary, First Performance Recovery Corporation, and DRV Capital LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary (“DRV Capital”), together with its wholly-owned subsidiary, EAR Capital, LLC (“EAR”). The results of all subsidiaries, including DRV Capital, EAR, First Performance and First Performance Recovery are shown as discontinued operations in the financial statements. All material inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassifications
Certain accounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified for comparison purposes to conform to the presentation of the current period financial statements. These reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported loss.
Revenue Recognition
To date, we have earned revenue from collection agencies, collection law firms and lenders that implemented our online system. Our current contracts provide for revenue based on a percentage of the amount of debt collected, a flat fee per settlement from accounts submitted on the DebtResolve system or through a flat monthly license fee. Although other revenue models have been proposed, most revenue earned to date has been determined using these methods, and such revenue is recognized when the settlement amount of debt is collected by the client or at the beginning of the month for a license fee. For the early adopters of our product, we waived set-up fees and other transactional fees that we anticipate charging in the future. While the percent of debt collected will continue to be a revenue recognition method going forward, other payment models are also being offered to clients and may possibly become our preferred revenue model. Dependent upon the structure of future contracts, revenue may be derived from a combination of set up fees or monthly licensing fees with transaction fees upon debt settlement.
In recognition of the principles expressed in Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 104 (“SAB 104”), that revenue should not be recognized until it is realized or realizable and earned, and given the element of doubt associated with collectability of an agreed settlement on past due debt, at this time we uniformly postpone recognition of all contingent revenue until our client receives payment from the debtor. As is required by SAB 104, revenues are considered to have been earned when we have substantially accomplished the agreed-upon deliverables to be entitled to payment by the client. For most current active clients, these deliverables consist of the successful collection of past due debts using our system and/or, for clients under a licensing arrangement, the successful availability of our system to its customers.
In addition, in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue 00-21, revenue is recognized and identified according to the deliverable provided. Set-up fees, percentage contingent collection fees, fixed settlement fees, monthly license fees, etc. are identified separately.
Cash and cash equivalents
For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consist of money market funds and demand deposits. From time to time, the Company has balances in excess of the federally insured limit.

NOTE 2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED): |
Accounts Receivable
We extend credit to large, mid-size and small companies for collection services. We have a concentration of credit risk as 100% of the balance of accounts receivable at March 31, 2009 and 100% of the revenues for the three months then ended consist of only one customer. We do not generally require collateral or other security to support customer receivables. Accounts receivable are carried at their estimated collectible amounts. Accounts receivable are periodically evaluated for collectibility and the allowance for doubtful accounts is adjusted accordingly. Our management determines collectibility based on their experience and knowledge of the customers, as of March 31, 2009 no allowance for doubtful accounts has been booked.
Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities
Included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities as of March 31, 2009 are accrued professional fees of $1,213,739 and accrued closing costs for First Performance of $1,350,931. The Company owed 32 vendors a total of $2,779,633 at March 31, 2009, each of whom was individually owed in excess of 10% of total Company assets.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company’s derivative financial instruments consist of embedded derivatives related to Convertible Debentures. These embedded derivatives include certain conversion features. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company records the derivatives and related warrants at their fair values as of the inception date of the Convertible Debenture Agreement and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. In addition, under the provisions of EITF Issue No. 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock,” as a result of entering into the Debentures, the Company is required to classify all other non-employee stock options and warrants as derivative liabilities and mark them to market at each reporting date. Any change in fair value inclusive of modifications of terms will be recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense at each reporting date. If the fair value of the derivatives is higher at the subsequent balance sheet date, the Company will record a non-operating, non-cash charge. If the fair value of the derivatives is lower at the subsequent balance sheet date, the Company will record non-operating, non-cash income. Conversion-related derivatives and the warrants were valued using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0%; annual volatility of 286%; and risk free interest rate from 0.43% to 2.28%. The derivatives are classified as short term liabilities.
Stock-based compensation
The Company accounts for stock options issued under the recognition and measurement principles of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”). Under the provisions of SFAS 123(R), the Company is required to measure the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award. For employees and directors, the award is measured on the grant date and for non-employees, the award is generally re-measured on interim financial reporting dates until the service period is complete, in accordance with EITF Issue No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services”. The fair value amount is then recognized over the period during which services are required to be provided in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. As of March 31, 2009, total unrecognized compensation cost amounted to $5,609, all of which is expected to be recognized in 2009. Total stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 amounted to $12,500 and $1,127,369, respectively.

|
Until such time as the Company had sufficient relevant trading history to compute the historical volatility of its common stock, the Company utilized an expected volatility figure derived from the historical volatilities of an index of comparable public entities. The Company accounts for the expected life of share options in accordance with the “simplified” method provisions of Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 110 (December 2007), which enables the use of the simplified method for “plain vanilla” share options as defined in SAB No. 107.
Net loss per share of common stock
Basic net loss per share excludes dilution for potentially dilutive securities and is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other instruments to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. Potentially dilutive shares of common stock realizable from the fulfillment of a share issuance commitment of 150,000 and 0, conversion of our convertible debentures of 36,695,108 and 0, and the exercise of options and warrants aggregating 32,242,451 and 7,631,037, respectively at March 31, 2009 and 2008, are excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
The Company’s issued and outstanding common shares do not include the underlying shares exercisable with respect to the issuance of 2,402,938 and 177,938 warrants, respectively, as of March 31, 2009 and 2008, exercisable at $0.01 per share or less. In accordance with SFAS No. 128 “Earnings Per Share”, the Company has given effect to the issuance of these warrants in computing basic net loss per share. The Company excludes from the computation of basic net loss per share 23,750,000 shares from a contingent warrant that is exercisable at $0.00000004 per share in the event that the Company does not repay certain notes payable upon maturity.
During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company issued 450,000 shares held in escrow in conjunction with the issuance of the $300,000 convertible debenture (See Note 4). The Company does not consider these shares as outstanding and as such does not include them in the calculation of Earnings per Share.

NOTE 4. | CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES: |
On September 30, 2008, an unaffiliated investor loaned the Company $300,000 on a 6 month convertible debenture with a maturity date of March 31, 2009. This convertible debenture replaced a note issued on July 31, 2008 in the same amount of $300,000 with a maturity date of January 31, 2009. The debenture carries interest at a rate of 15% per annum, with $22,500 (6 months) of interest payable in advance from the proceeds of the original loan on July 31, 2008. Thereafter, interest is payable monthly in cash. The outstanding principal and interest may be repaid, in whole or in part, at any time without prepayment penalty. The Exchange Agreement calls for the lender to receive 150,000 shares of the common stock of the company in consideration for the exchange of the original note for the convertible debenture. As of the date of this report, the shares have not been issued. In accordance with EITF 96-19, the exchange was determined to be an extinguishment of debt, and extinguishment accounting was applied. A loss on extinguishment of $60,000 was booked to general and administrative expense. The debenture is secured by an escrow of 450,000 shares of the common stock of the Company, which is held in escrow at the lender’s attorney’s office. At any time on or after the Issue Date and prior to the time the Debenture is paid in full in accordance with its terms (including, without limitation, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, or, if the Debenture is not fully paid or converted after the Maturity Date), the Holder of this Debenture is entitled, at its option to convert this Debenture at any time into shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value (“Common Stock”), of the Company at the Conversion Price. Conversion Price” means the (i) the average VWAP for the 20 Trading Days ending on the Trading Day immediately before the relevant Conversion Date, multiplied by (ii) fifty percent (50%).

NOTE 4. | CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES (CONTINUED): |
The debenture was recorded net of a beneficial conversion feature of $300,000, based on the relative fair value of the conversion feature. The beneficial conversion feature is being amortized over the term of the debenture. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company recorded amortization of the beneficial conversion feature related to this debenture of $150,000. At the date of this report, the debenture is in default, and the Company is working with the lender to restructure the debenture.
On July 31, 2008, the Company agreed to give the attorney who arranged the above financing 50,000 shares of stock in the Company for introducing the investor. Because of a delinquent payable with the Company’s stock transfer agent, the shares were converted to a 6 month loan of $50,000 with a maturity date of January 31, 2009. The note carried interest at a rate of 12% per annum, payable monthly in arrears in cash. At September 30, 2008, due to the inability of the Company to pay the interest on the note, the note was exchanged for a convertible debenture with the same maturity date of January 31, 2009 in the amount of $51,000. The debenture carries interest at a rate of 12% per annum, with interest payable monthly in arrears in cash. The outstanding principal and interest may be repaid, in whole or in part, at any time without prepayment penalty. At any time on or after the Issue Date and prior to the time the Debenture is paid in full in accordance with its terms (including, without limitation, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, or, if the Debenture is not fully paid or converted after the Maturity Date), the Holder of this Debenture is entitled, at its option to convert this Debenture at any time into shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value (“Common Stock”), of the Company at the Conversion Price. Conversion Price” means the (i) the average VWAP for the 20 Trading Days ending on the Trading Day immediately before the relevant Conversion Date, multiplied by (ii) fifty percent (50%). The debenture was recorded net of a beneficial conversion feature of $38,250, based on the relative fair value of the conversion feature. The beneficial conversion feature is being amortized over the term of the debenture. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company recorded amortization of the beneficial conversion feature related to this debenture of $9,562. As a result of the default on this debenture, the Company negotiated a settlement with the attorney to discharge the debenture, its accrued interest and old outstanding legal bills to the attorney for $75,000 paid $5,000 per month beginning August 1, 2009.
The embedded conversion option related to the Convertible Debentures is accounted for under EITF issue No. 00-19 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock”. We have determined that the embedded conversion option is a derivative liability. Accordingly, the embedded conversion option will be marked to market through earnings at the end of each reporting period. The conversion option is valued using the Black-Scholes valuation model. For the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company reflected a loss of $31,591 representing the change in the value of the embedded conversion option.

NOTE 5. | LINES OF CREDIT – RELATED PARTIES: |
On May 31, 2007, the Company entered into a line of credit agreement with Arisean Capital, Ltd. (“Arisean”), pursuant to which the Company may borrow from time to time up to $500,000 from Arisean to be used by the Company to fund its working capital needs. Borrowings under the line of credit are secured by the assets of the Company, subject to a subordination agreement and bear interest at a rate of 12% per annum, with interest payable monthly in cash. The principal balance outstanding will be due at any time upon 30 days written notice, subject to mandatory prepayment (without penalty) of principal and interest, in whole or in part, from the net cash proceeds of any public or private, equity or debt financing completed by the Company. Arisean’s obligation to lend such funds to the Company is subject to a number of conditions, including review by Arisean of the proposed use of such funds by the Company. Arisean is controlled by Charles S. Brofman, the Co-Founder of the Company and a member of its Board of Directors. As of March 31, 2009, the outstanding balance on this line of credit was $576,000.

From time to time, the Company is involved in various litigation matters in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
Operating leases
On August 1, 2005, the Company entered into a five year lease for its corporate headquarters which includes annual escalations in rent. In accordance with SFAS No. 13, “Accounting for Leases,” (“SFAS 13”) the Company accounts for rent expense using the straight line method of accounting, accruing the difference between actual rent due and the straight line amount. On October 1, 2008, the Company was evicted from its office for non-payment of rent. An amended stipulation of settlement has been signed to resolve the balance of the lease. At December 31, 2008, the Company accrued the balance of its obligation under the lease in the amount of $227,787 on the balance sheet. On May 18, 2009, the Company paid a required $60,000 payment. On June 4, 2009, the Company received a Satisfaction of Judgment and Release from any further liability in this matter, and it is now settled. The accrual will be reversed in the second quarter reflecting the settlement. (See Lawsuits from Landlords above).
The Company also leased an office in Las Vegas, Nevada under a non-cancelable operating lease that expires July 31, 2014 and calls for annual escalations in rent of $19,225. On June 30, 2008, First Performance was closed, and the premises were abandoned. A complaint has been filed against First Performance in Clark County, Nevada court. (See Lawsuits from Landlords above).

Employment Agreements
The Company has entered into an employment agreement with James D. Burchetta under which he will devote substantially all of his business and professional time to us and our business development. The employment agreement with Mr. Burchetta is effective until January 13, 2013. The agreement provided Mr. Burchetta with an initial annual base salary of $240,000 and contains provisions for minimum annual increases based on changes in an applicable “cost-of-living” index. The employment agreement with Mr. Burchetta contains provisions under which his annual salary may increase to $600,000 if we achieve specified operating milestones and also provides for additional compensation based on the value of a transaction that results in a change of control, as that term is defined in the agreement. In the event of a change of control, Mr. Burchetta would be entitled to receive 25% of the sum of $250,000 plus 2.5% of the transaction value, as that term is defined in the agreement, between $5,000,000 and $15,000,000 plus 1% of the transaction value above $15,000,000. Compensation expense under the agreement with Mr. Burchetta totaled $135,417 and $250,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
The Company amended the employment agreement with Mr. Burchetta in February 2004, agreeing to modify his level of compensation, subject to its meeting specified financial and performance milestones. The employment agreement, as amended, provided that the base salary for Mr. Burchetta will be as follows: (1) if at the date of any salary payment, the aggregate amount of our net cash on hand provided from operating activities and net cash and/or investments on hand provided from financing activities is sufficient to cover our projected cash flow requirements (as established by our board of directors in good faith from time to time) for the following 12 months (the “projected cash requirement”), the annual base salary will be $150,000; and (2) if at the date of any salary payment, our net cash on hand provided from operating activities is sufficient to cover our projected cash requirement, the annual base salary will be $250,000, and increased to $450,000 upon the date upon which we complete the sale or license of our Debt Resolve system with respect to 400,000 consumer credit accounts. Under the terms of the amended employment agreement, no salary payments were made to Mr. Burchetta during 2004. The Company recorded compensation expense and a capital contribution totaling $150,000 in 2004, representing an imputed compensation expense for the minimum base salary amounts under the agreement with Mr. Burchetta, as if we had met the condition for paying his salary.
The Company amended the employment agreement with Mr. Burchetta again in June 2005, agreeing that (1) as of April 1, 2005 we will pay Mr. Burchetta an annual base salary of $250,000 per year, and thereafter his base salary will continue at that level, subject to adjustments approved by the compensation committee of our board of directors, and (2) the employment term will extend for five years after the final closing of our June/September 2005 private financing.
On July 15, 2008, the employment agreement was converted to a consulting agreement with all terms otherwise unchanged, as Mr. Burchetta became non-executive Chairman on February 16, 2008. One additional term added was that the Chairman shall always make $25,000 more than the Chief Executive Officer and have comparable benefits. The Board affirmed the effectiveness of the agreement to January 13, 2013. As of March 31, 2009, the Company owes $278,583 under the agreement.

NOTE 11. | RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS: |
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS 159”) including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. SFAS 159 permits companies to choose to measure certain financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The standard requires that unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected be reported in earnings. The Company adopted SFAS 159 beginning in the first quarter of 2008, without material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R),”Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141(R)”), which establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in an acquiree, including the recognition and measurement of goodwill acquired in a business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2008. SFAS 141R would only have an impact on accounting for any businesses acquired after the effective date of this pronouncement

NOTE 11. | RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (CONTINUED): |
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements”, which is an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin (“ARB”) No. 51. This statement clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. This statement changes the way the consolidated income statement is presented, thus requiring consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both parent and the noncontrolling interest. We adopted SFAS No. 160 effective January 1, 2009 and the statement had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2007, the FASB ratified the consensus in EITF Issue No. 07-1, “Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements” (EITF 07-1). EITF 07-1 defines collaborative arrangements and requires collaborators to present the result of activities for which they act as the principal on a gross basis and report any payments received from (made to) the other collaborators based on other applicable authoritative accounting literature, and in the absence of other applicable authoritative literature, on a reasonable, rational and consistent accounting policy is to be elected. EITF 07-1 also provides for disclosures regarding the nature and purpose of the arrangement, the entity’s rights and obligations, the accounting policy for the arrangement and the income statement classification and amounts arising from the agreement. EITF No. 07-1 is effective for collaborative arrangements that exist on January 1, 2009 and application is retrospective. We adopted EITF No. 07-1 effective January 1, 2009 and the adoption had no material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.” This Statement changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. We adopted SFAS No. 161 effective January 1, 2009 and addressed the relevant disclosures accordingly.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets”. This FSP amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. The Company is required to adopt FSP 142-3 on January 1, 2009. The guidance in FSP 142-3 for determining the useful life of a recognized intangible asset shall be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after adoption, and the disclosure requirements shall be applied prospectively to all intangible assets recognized as of, and subsequent to, adoption. The adoption of FSP 142-3 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” This Statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States (the GAAP hierarchy). This Statement will not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) 14-1 “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)” (“FSP APB 14-1”). FSP APB 14-1 requires the issuer of certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (or other assets) on conversion to separately account for the liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer’s non-convertible debt borrowing rate. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 on a retroactive basis. The adoption of FSP APB 14-1 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In June 2008, the FASB ratified EITF No. 07-5, “Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” (“EITF No. 07-5”). EITF No. 07-5 provides that an entity should use a two-step approach to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock, including evaluating the instrument’s contingent exercise and settlement provisions. It also clarifies the impact of foreign currency denominated strike prices and market-based employee stock option valuation instruments on the evaluation. We adopted EITF No. 07-5 effective on January 1, 2009 and the adoption had no material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In January 2009, the FASB issued Financial Statement of Position (“FSP”) Issue No. EITF No. 99-20-1, “Amendments to the Impairment Guidance of EITF Issue No. 99-20” (“FSP EITF No. 99-20-1”). FSP EITF No. 99-20-1 amends the impairment guidance in EITF Issue No. 99-20, “Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased Beneficial Interests and Beneficial Interests that Continue to be Held by a Transferor in Securitized Financial Assets” to achieve more consistent determination of whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred. The Company adopted FSP EITF No. 99-20-1 and it did not have a material impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued the following new accounting standards:
FSP FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly, provides guidelines for making fair value measurements more consistent with the principles presented in FASB Statement No. 157 (“SFAS 157”), Fair Value Measurements. FSP FAS 157-4 reaffirms what SFAS 157 states is the objective of fair value measurement, to reflect how much an asset would be sold for in an orderly transaction at the date of the financial statements under current market conditions. Specifically, it reaffirms the need to use judgment to ascertain if a formerly active market has become inactive and in determining fair values when markets have become inactive. The Company does not expect this pronouncement to have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows
FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, enhances consistency in financial reporting by increasing the frequency of fair value disclosures. This relates to fair value disclosures for any financial instruments that are not currently reflected on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 now require that fair value disclosures be made on a quarterly basis, providing qualitative and quantitative information about fair value estimates for all those financial instruments not measured on the balance sheet at fair value. The Company does not expect this pronouncement to have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

NOTE 11. | RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (CONTINUED): |
FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments, provides additional guidance designed to create greater clarity and consistency in accounting for and presenting impairment losses on securities. This FSP is intended to bring greater consistency to the timing of impairment recognition and to provide greater clarity to investors about the credit and noncredit components of impaired debt securities that are not expected to be sold. This FSP also requires increased and timelier disclosures sought by investors regarding expected cash flows, credit losses, and an aging of securities with unrealized losses. The Company does not expect this pronouncement to have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
These standards are effective for periods ending after June 15, 2009. We are evaluating the impact that these standards will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS 165”), which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The Company is required to adopt SFAS 165 prospectively to both interim and annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. Adoption of SFAS 165 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS 168”). SFAS 168 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, (“Codification”) as the single source of authoritative GAAP to be applied by nongovernmental entities, except for the rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws, which are sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal level of authority. SFAS 168 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. Adoption of SFAS 168 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC did not, or are not believed by management to, have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 12. | RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS: |
During the year ended December 31, 2008, an entity owned by a former Director performed consulting services for the Company in the amount of $25,984. Such amount is reflected in Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities as of March 31, 2009.
Certain Company directors and a former officer personally guarantee the Company’s notes payable and its’ bank loan (Note 3).
|
|
NOTE 13. | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT: |
The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” on January 1, 2008. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. SFAS No. 157 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

March 31, 2009
(Unaudited)
|
|
NOTE 13. | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT (CONTINUED): |
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.
To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is disclosed and is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Upon adoption of SFAS No. 157, there was no cumulative effect adjustment to the beginning retained earnings and no impact on the consolidated financial statements.
The carrying value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, short-term borrowings (including convertible notes payable), and other current assets and liabilities approximate fair value because of their short-term maturity. All other significant financial assets, financial liabilities and equity instruments of the Company are either recognized or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements together with other information relevant for making a reasonable assessment of future cash flows, interest rate risk and credit risk. Where practicable the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities have been determined and disclosed; otherwise only available information pertinent to fair value has been disclosed.
The following table sets forth the Company’s short investments as of March 31, 2009 which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required by SFAS No. 157, these are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement:

On May 29, 2009, an unaffiliated investor loaned the Company $100,000 on a three year Convertible Debenture with an interest rate of 14%. The interest accrues and is payable at maturity. The conversion price is set at $0.15 per share. The Debenture carries a first lien security interest following the discharge of the $210,000 note above. In addition, the investor received 1,000,000 warrants to purchase the common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. The exercise period of the warrant is five years.
The employment of Mr. Kenneth H. Montgomery, the Company’s former CEO, ceased July 1, 2009. Mr. David M. Rainey became Interim Chief Executive Officer effective July 15, 2009.
On July 22, 2009, an unaffiliated investor loaned the Company $75,000 on a three year Convertible Debenture with an interest rate of 14%. The interest accrues and is payable at maturity.

On August 4, 2009, an unaffiliated investor loaned the Company $100,000 on a three year Convertible Debenture with an interest rate of 14%. The interest accrues and is payable at maturity. The conversion price is set at $0.15 per share. The Debenture carries a first lien security interest following the discharge of the $210,000 note above.

On August 7, 2009, the Board of Directors at its regular meeting awarded each of the four Directors who were active as of December 31, 2008 restricted shares of 500,000 each at the closing price of trading on that day, which was $0.19. The shares were granted in recognition of service from January 1, 2008 to June 30, 2009, for the Board members agreeing to convert over $2 million of their notes, accrued interest and accrued payroll to stock at a conversion rate of $0.15 per share, and for the considerable risks and challenges which the Company faced during the period referenced above. In addition, the Board awarded the new Interim CEO 1,000,000 options to purchase the stock of the Company at the same closing price of $0.19 per share. The options were granted in recognition of the very demanding workload placed in the past and in the future on the Interim CEO as the Company restructures. The options have a seven year exercise period. Finally, the Board authorized the re-pricing of the options of all directors and employees who were active as of December 31, 2008 to the closing price of the stock that day, or $0.19. In total, seven employees were affected. The re-pricing was done due to the need by the Company to accrue most pay during the second half of 2008 and during 2009, a period during which the employees were largely not getting paid.
On August 7, 2009, an unaffiliated investor loaned the Company $5,000 on a three year Convertible Debenture with an interest rate of 14%. The interest accrues and is payable at maturity.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
Overview
Prior to January 19, 2007, we were a development stage company. On January 19, 2007, we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of First Performance Corporation, a Nevada corporation (“First Performance”), and its wholly-owned subsidiary, First Performance Recovery Corporation, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated January 19, 2007. As a result, we are no longer considered a development stage entity.
Since completing initial product development in early 2004, our primary business has been providing a software solution to consumer lenders or those collecting on those loans based on our proprietary Debt Resolve system, our Internet-based bidding system that facilitates the settlement and collection of delinquent and defaulted consumer debt via the Internet. We have marketed our service primarily to consumer credit card issuers, collection agencies, collection law firms and the buyers of defaulted debt in the United States and Europe. We intend to market our service to other segments served by the collections industry worldwide. For example, we believe that our system will be especially valuable for the collection of low balance debt, such as that held by utility companies and online service providers, where the cost of traditionally labor intensive collection efforts may exceed the value collected. We also intend to pursue past-due Internet-related debt, such as that held by sellers of sales and services online. We believe that consumers who incurred their debt over the Internet will be likely to respond favorably to an Internet-based collection solution. In addition, creditors of Internet-related debt usually have access to debtors’ e-mail addresses, facilitating the contact of debtors directly by e-mail. In addition, there are significant opportunities for us in healthcare with hospitals and large provider groups. We believe that expanding to more recently past-due portfolios of such debt will result in higher settlement volumes, improving our clients’ profitability by increasing their collections while reducing their cost of collections. We do not anticipate any material incremental costs associated with developing our capabilities and marketing to these creditors, as our existing Debt Resolve system can already handle this type of debt, and we make contact with these creditors in our normal course of business.
We have prepared for our entry into the European marketplace by reviewing our mode of business and modifying our contracts to comply with appropriate European privacy, debtor protection and other applicable regulations. We expect that initially, our expense associated with servicing our United Kingdom and other potential European clients will be minimal, consisting primarily of travel expense to meet with those clients and additional legal fees, as our European contracts, although already written to conform to European regulations, may require customization. We have begun investigation of, and negotiations with, companies who may provide local, outsourced European customer service support for us on an as needed basis, the expense of which will be variable with the level of business activity. We may incur additional costs, which we cannot anticipate at this time, if we expand into Canada and other countries.
Our revenues to date have been insufficient to fund our operations. We have financed our activities to date through our management’s contributions of cash, the forgiveness of royalty and consulting fees, the proceeds from sales of our common stock in private placement financings, the proceeds of our convertible promissory notes in four private financings, short-term borrowings from previous investors or related parties and the proceeds from the sale of our common stock in our initial public offering. In connection with our marketing and client support goals, we expect our operating expenses to grow as we employ additional technicians, sales people and client support representatives. We expect that salaries and other compensation expenses will continue to be our largest category of expense, while travel, legal, audit and other sales and marketing expenses will grow as we expand our sales, marketing and support capabilities. Effective utilization of our system will require a change in thinking on the part of the collection industry, but we believe the effort will result in new collection benchmarks. We intend to provide detailed advice and hands-on assistance to clients to help them make the transition to our system.
Our current and former contracts provide that we will earn revenue based on a percentage of the amount of debt collected from accounts submitted on our DebtResolve system, from flat fees per settlement achieved or a flat monthly fee. Although other revenue models have been proposed, most revenue earned to date has been determined using these methods, and such revenue is recognized when the settlement amount of debt is collected by our client or at the beginning of each month. For the early adopters of our system, we waived set-up fees and other transactional fees that we anticipate charging on a going-forward basis. While the percent of debt collected will continue to be a revenue recognition method going forward, other payment models are also being offered to clients and may possibly become our preferred revenue model. Most contracts currently in process include provisions for set up fees and base revenue on a monthly fee, in the aggregate or per account, with some contracts having a small transaction fee on debt settlement as well. In addition, with respect to our DR Prevent ™ module expected to be completed in 2009, which settles consumer debt at earlier stages, we expect that a fee per account on our system, and/or the hybrid revenue model which will include both fees per account and transaction fees at settlement, may become the preferred revenue methods. As we expand our knowledge of the industry, we have become aware that different revenue models may be
|
30 |
more appropriate for the individual circumstances of our potential clients, and our expanded choice of revenue models reflects that knowledge.
In January 2007, we purchased the outstanding common stock of First Performance Corporation and, as a result, we are no longer in the development stage as of the date of the acquisition. First Performance Corporation and its subsidiary, First Performance Recovery Corp., were collection agencies that represented both regional and national credit grantors from such diverse industries as retail, bankcard, oil cards, mortgage and auto. By entering this business directly, we signaled our intention to become a significant player in the accounts receivable management industry. We believed that through a mixture of both traditional and our innovative, technologically-driven collection methods, we could achieve superior returns. Due to the loss of four major clients at First Performance during the first nine months of 2007, we performed two interim impairment analyses in accordance with SFAS 142. As a result of these analyses, we recorded impairment charges aggregating $1,206,335 during the year ended December 31, 2007. We also recorded a charge for the disposal of the Florida fixed assets of $68,329 upon the closure of the Florida office during the year ended December 31, 2007.
Revenue streams associated with this business included contingency fee revenue on recovery of past due consumer debt and non-sufficient funds fees on returned checks. On June 30, 2008, we closed the remaining operations of First Performance in order to focus on our core internet business and to mitigate the continuing losses from First Performance. At that time, we took charges for the disposal of the remaining fixed assets of $87,402 and for the impairment of the remaining intangible assets of $176,545. The results of operations for First Performance have been treated as discontinued operations in the financial statements for the years ending December 31, 2008 and 2007.
For the year ending December 31, 2008, we had inadequate revenues and incurred a net loss of $7,712,170 from continuing operations. Cash used in operating and investing activities of continuing operations was $886,045 and $835,951, respectively for the year ended December 31, 2008. Based upon projected operating expenses, we believe that our working capital as of the date of this report may not be sufficient to fund our plan of operations for the next twelve months. The aforementioned factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company needs to raise additional capital in order to be able to accomplish its business plan objectives. The Company has historically satisfied its capital needs primarily from the sale of debt and equity securities. Management of the Company is continuing its efforts to secure additional funds through debt and/or equity instruments. Management believes that it will be successful in obtaining additional financing; however, no assurance can be provided that the Company will be able to do so. There is no assurance that these funds will be sufficient to enable the Company to attain profitable operations or continue as a going concern. To the extent that the Company is unsuccessful, the Company may need to curtail its operations and implement a plan to extend payables and reduce overhead until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations. In the alternative, the Company may be forced to seek bankruptcy protection from its creditors. There can be no assurance that efforts to secure additional funding will be successful. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Subsequent to March 31, 2009, the Company has secured $430,000 in additional financing.

| Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2009 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 |
Revenues
Revenues totaled $24,495 and $84,178 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2007, respectively. We earned revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2009 from contingency fee income, based on a percent of debt collected. We earned revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2008 from contingency fee income, based on a percent of debt collected, or fees per settlement.
Costs and Expenses
Payroll and related expenses. Payroll and related expenses amounted to $192,241 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to $1,360,996 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, a decrease of $1,168,755 or 86%. This decrease was due to across the board further headcount reductions from 2008 and the absence of option grants in the three months ended March 31, 2009. Salaries were $160,000 and $306,913 in the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Employee benefits were $17,142 and $31,182 in the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, due to lower staffing levels and the suspension of the 401k match by the Company. Employee stock compensation expense was reduced to $12,500 in the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $1,044,719 in the three months ended March 31, 2008, as there were no grants in the
|
31 |
2009 period. Allocations were $0 and ($54,280), respectively, in the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 as all subsidiaries were closed in the 2009 period. Miscellaneous related expenses were $2,598 and $31,460 during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses amounted to $177,973 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to $515,464 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, a decrease of $337,491 or 65%. This decrease was due to decreases in almost every expense category due to headcount reductions, office space settlements and reductions, cost containment and a $82,650 reduction in non-cash stock based compensation for consultants that was $0 and $165,300 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Occupancy was ($1,718) and $33,669 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The credit in 2009 was the reversal of the accrual made on eviction from our offices upon settlement and discharge of the lease on our former corporate office. Telecommunications was $20,161 and $19,466 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, as there were annual cost increases in 2009. Service fees were $71,793 and $116,542 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, as we further reduced consultant use. Accounting was reduced to $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $50,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 due to the switch in accounting firms. Travel, marketing, insurance and legal were $966, $1,272, $27,783 and $33,265 in the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared with $45,086, $19,435, $66,281 and $64,144 in the three months ended March 31, 2008 due to ongoing cost control efforts. Allocations were $0 and ($48,970) in the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, as all subsidiaries had been closed by 2009. Miscellaneous general and administrative expenses were $24,143 and $67,160 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, due to cost savings efforts in 2009.
Depreciation and amortization expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, we recorded depreciation expense of $12,279 and $14,537, respectively. Depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2009 is lower due to the disposal of some assets at December 31, 2008.
Interest income (expense). We recorded interest income, interest expense and interest expense – related parties of $0, $56,934 and $35,614 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, respectively, compared to interest income, interest expense and interest expense – related parties of $190, $25,194 and $30,937, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2008. We incurred increased interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as a result of carrying higher levels of borrowings on our lines of credit, convertible debentures, investor notes and bank loans and, in certain instances, higher interest rates.
Amortization of deferred debt discount.Amortization expense of $232,638 and $501,674 was incurred for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, for the amortization of the value of the deferred debt discount associated with certain of our lines of credit and notes payable. Amortization expense decreased due to certain debt discounts having been fully amortized prior to the three month period ended March 31, 2009.
Loss on derivative liability. We recorded a loss of $31,591 for derivative liability on convertible notes, warrants and options during the three months ended March 31, 2009 based on an increase in the fair value of the liability. We had no derivative liabilities during the three months ended March 31, 2008.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2009, we had a working capital deficiency in the amount of $6,935,947, on continuing operations and cash and cash equivalents totaling $433. We incurred a net loss of $714,775 for continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Net cash used in operating activities for continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $103,189, which reflects our net loss that was partially offset by non-cash charges of $232,638 for amortization of debt discount, $31,591 loss on our derivative liability, $12,500 of stock based compensation and $12,279 of depreciation and amortization as well as a $190,521 increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses, a $79,800 decrease in deposits and other assets and a $36,738 decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets. Cash flow provided by investing and financing activities for continuing operations was $0 and $70,000, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2009. As of December 31, 2008, we had a working capital deficiency in the amount of $6,371,269, on continuing operations and cash and cash equivalents totaling $32,551. We incurred a net loss of $7,712,170 for continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2008. Net cash used in operating and investing activities for continuing operations was $886,046 and $835,951, respectively for the year ended December 31, 2008. Cash flow provided by financing activities for continuing operations was $1,754,548 for the year ended December 31, 2008. Cash of $1,300 was provided by the discontinued operations of our former subsidiary First Performance during 2008. Our working capital as of the date of this report is negative
|
32 |
and is not sufficient to fund our plan of operations for the next year. The aforementioned factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company needs to raise additional capital in order to be able to accomplish its business plan objectives. The Company has historically satisfied its capital needs primarily from the sale of debt and equity securities. Management of the Company is continuing its efforts to secure additional funds through debt and/or equity instruments. We are also seeking to settle our liabilities through issuances of our common stock and discounted lump sum payments. Management believes that it will be successful in obtaining additional financing and settling our liabilities; however, no assurance can be provided that the Company will be able to do so. There is no assurance that these funds will be sufficient to enable the Company to attain profitable operations or continue as a going concern. To the extent that the Company is unsuccessful, the Company may need to curtail its operations and implement a plan to extend payables and reduce overhead until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations. In the alternative, the Company may have to seek protection from its creditors in bankruptcy. There can be no assurance that efforts to raise adequate capital will be successful. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. These estimates and assumptions are based on our management’s judgment and available information and, consequently, actual results could be different from these estimates.
Stock-based compensation
The Company accounts for stock options and warrants issued under stock-based compensation plans under the recognition and measurement principles of SFAS No. 123(R) (“Share Based Payment”). Total stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 amounted to $12,500 and $1,127,369, respectively.
The fair value of each option and warrant granted to employees and non-employees is estimated as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The estimated fair value of the options granted is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the option vesting period. As of March 31, 2009, total unrecognized compensation cost amounted to $5,609, all of which is expected to be recognized in 2009.
The Company accounts for the expected life of share options in accordance with the “simplified” method provisions of Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 110 (December 2007), which enables the use of the simplified method for “plain vanilla” share options as defined in SAB No. 107.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS 159”) including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. SFAS 159 permits companies to choose to measure certain financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The standard requires that unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected be reported in earnings. The Company adopted SFAS 159 beginning in the first quarter of 2008, without material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R),”Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141(R)”), which establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in an acquiree, including the recognition and measurement of goodwill acquired in a business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2008. SFAS 141R would only have an impact on accounting for any businesses acquired after the effective date of this pronouncement
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements”, which is an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin (“ARB”) No. 51. This statement clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. This statement changes the way the consolidated income statement is presented, thus requiring consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both parent and the noncontrolling interest. We adopted SFAS No. 160 effective January 1, 2009 and the statement had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2007, the FASB ratified the consensus in EITF Issue No. 07-1, “Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements” (EITF 07-1). EITF 07-1 defines collaborative arrangements and requires collaborators to present the result of activities for which they act as the principal on a gross basis and report any payments received from (made to) the other collaborators based on other applicable authoritative accounting literature, and in the absence of other applicable authoritative literature, on a reasonable, rational and consistent accounting policy is to be elected. EITF 07-1 also provides for disclosures regarding the nature and purpose of the arrangement, the entity’s rights and obligations, the accounting policy for the arrangement and the income statement classification and amounts arising from the agreement. EITF No. 07-1 is effective for collaborative arrangements that exist on January 1, 2009 and application is retrospective. We adopted EITF No. 07-1 effective January 1, 2009 and the adoption had no material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.” This Statement changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and
|
34 |
why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. We adopted SFAS No. 161 effective January 1, 2009 and addressed the relevant disclosures accordingly.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets”. This FSP amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. The Company is required to adopt FSP 142-3 on January 1, 2009. The guidance in FSP 142-3 for determining the useful life of a recognized intangible asset shall be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after adoption, and the disclosure requirements shall be applied prospectively to all intangible assets recognized as of, and subsequent to, adoption. The adoption of FSP 142-3 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” This Statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States (the GAAP hierarchy). This Statement will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) 14-1 “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)” (“FSP APB 14-1”). FSP APB 14-1 requires the issuer of certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (or other assets) on conversion to separately account for the liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer’s non-convertible debt borrowing rate. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 on a retroactive basis. The adoption of FSP APB 14-1 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In June 2008, the FASB ratified EITF No. 07-5, “Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” (“EITF No. 07-5”). EITF No. 07-5 provides that an entity should use a two-step approach to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock, including evaluating the instrument’s contingent exercise and settlement provisions. It also clarifies the impact of foreign currency denominated strike prices and market-based employee stock option valuation instruments on the evaluation. We adopted EITF No. 07-5 effective on January 1, 2009 and the adoption had no material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In January 2009, the FASB issued Financial Statement of Position (“FSP”) Issue No. EITF No. 99-20-1, “Amendments to the Impairment Guidance of EITF Issue No. 99-20” (“FSP EITF No. 99-20-1”). FSP EITF No. 99-20-1 amends the impairment guidance in EITF Issue No. 99-20, “Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased Beneficial Interests and Beneficial Interests that Continue to be Held by a Transferor in Securitized Financial Assets” to achieve more consistent determination of whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred. The Company adopted FSP EITF No. 99-20-1 and it did not have a material impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued the following new accounting standards:
FSP FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly, provides guidelines for making fair value measurements more consistent with the principles presented in FASB Statement No. 157 (“SFAS
|

157”), Fair Value Measurements. FSP FAS 157-4 reaffirms what SFAS 157 states is the objective of fair value measurement, to reflect how much an asset would be sold for in an orderly transaction at the date of the financial statements under current market conditions. Specifically, it reaffirms the need to use judgment to ascertain if a formerly active market has become inactive and in determining fair values when markets have become inactive. The Company does not expect this pronouncement to have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows
FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, enhances consistency in financial reporting by increasing the frequency of fair value disclosures. This relates to fair value disclosures for any financial instruments that are not currently reflected on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 now require that fair value disclosures be made on a quarterly basis, providing qualitative and quantitative information about fair value estimates for all those financial instruments not measured on the balance sheet at fair value. The Company does not expect this pronouncement to have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments, provides additional guidance designed to create greater clarity and consistency in accounting for and presenting impairment losses on securities. This FSP is intended to bring greater consistency to the timing of impairment recognition and to provide greater clarity to investors about the credit and noncredit components of impaired debt securities that are not expected to be sold. This FSP also requires increased and timelier disclosures sought by investors regarding expected cash flows, credit losses, and an aging of securities with unrealized losses. The Company does not expect this pronouncement to have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
These standards are effective for periods ending after June 15, 2009. We are evaluating the impact that these standards will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS 165”), which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The Company is required to adopt SFAS 165 prospectively to both interim and annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. Adoption of SFAS 165 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS 168”). SFAS 168 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, (“Codification”) as the single source of authoritative GAAP to be applied by nongovernmental entities, except for the rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws, which are sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal level of authority. SFAS 168 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. Adoption of SFAS 168 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC did not, or are not believed by management to, have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Not applicable
Item 4T. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We evaluated the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures to determine whether they are effective in ensuring that we disclose required information in a timely manner and in accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC. The executive who serves as our Interim Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Financial Officer has participated in such evaluation. Management concluded, based on such review, that our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined by Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The ineffectiveness of these disclosure controls is due to the matters described below in “Internal Control over Financial Reporting.”
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
We believe that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide a reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and our Interim Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Financial Officer has concluded that such controls and procedures are not effective at the “reasonable assurance” level. The ineffectiveness of these disclosure controls is due to the matters described below in “Internal Control over Financial Reporting.”
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm has reported to our audit committee certain matters involving internal controls that this firm considered to be reportable conditions and a material weakness, under standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The reportable conditions and material weakness relate to a limited segregation of duties at the Company. Segregation of duties within our company is limited due to the small number of employees that are assigned to positions that involve the processing of financial information. Specifically, certain key financial accounting and reporting personnel had an expansive scope of duties that allowed for the creation, review, approval and processing of financial data without independent review and authorization for preparation of consolidation schedules and resulting financial statements and related disclosures. We did not maintain a sufficient depth of personnel with an appropriate level of accounting knowledge, experience and training in the selection and application of GAAP commensurate with financial reporting requirements. Accordingly, we place undue reliance on the finance team at corporate headquarters, specifically the executive who is our Interim Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Financial Officer. Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness. This material weakness could result in material misstatements of significant accounts and disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to our interim or annual consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. In addition, due to limited staffing, the Company is not always able to detect minor errors or omissions in reporting.
Going forward, management anticipates that additional staff will be necessary to mitigate these weaknesses, as well as to implement other planned improvements. Additional staff will enable us to document and apply transactional and periodic controls procedures, permit a better review and approval process and improve quality of financial reporting. However, the potential addition of new staff is contingent on obtaining additional financing, and there is no assurance that the Company will be able to do so.
Management believes that its financial statements for the three ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, fairly present, in all material respects, its financial condition and results of operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, there were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The entire amount of the amount in dispute is accrued on the books of First Performance.
Lawsuits from former employees

The facility was subsequently closed on June 30, 2007 as a cost reduction measure. The First Performance employment practices insurance carrier defended the matter against the U.S. EEOC and the Broward County Civil Rights Division. On March 18, 2008, a settlement was reached in the amount of $24,500. However, due to First Performance’s financial problems which led to its closure on June 30, 2008, the settlement was not paid. Because of the non-payment, final judgment was entered against First Performance Recovery Corp. in the amount of $103,005 plus $5,293 in attorneys’ fees on October 11, 2008. On December 17, 2008, final judgment was entered against First Performance Corp. and Debt Resolve in the amount of $35,287.

The Company has also referred all of the matters surrounding the Harmonie transaction to the appropriate authorities.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
None
Item 3. Defaults upon Senior Securities
On December 21, 2007, an unaffiliated investor loaned the Company $125,000 on an 18-month note with a maturity date of June 21, 2009. The note has a provision requiring repayment once the Company has raised an aggregate of $500,000 following issuance of this note. As a result, this note is currently in default as it has not been repaid and the Company reached the $500,000 threshold in September, 2008. The note is secured by the assets of the Company. On April 10, 2008, the investor loaned the Company an additional $198,000 on an amendment of the prior note with a maturity date of June 21, 2009 for the entire balance of the first note plus the amendment ($323,000 total). The note carries interest at a rate of 12% per annum, with interest accruing and payable at maturity. The outstanding principal and interest may be repaid, in whole or in part, at any time without prepayment penalty. The note is secured by the assets of the Company. This note is guaranteed by Mr. Burchetta. The amended note maintains the provision requiring repayment of the note upon raising gross proceeds of $500,000 subsequent the issuance of the note. At December 31, 2008, the Company had raised in excess of $500,000 subsequent to this amended note, and as a result, this note is in default. The Company also issued 50,000 shares of common stock valued at $30,000 in order to induce the investor to forbear on the note. The note holder has requested repayment of the note, but the note is still outstanding.
On September 30, 2008, an unaffiliated investor loaned the Company $300,000 on a 6 month convertible debenture with a maturity date of March 31, 2009. This convertible debenture replaced a note issued on July 31, 2008 in the same amount of $300,000 with a maturity date of January 31, 2009. The debenture is secured by an escrow of 450,000 shares of the common stock of the Company, which is held in escrow at the lender’s attorney’s office. At any time on or after the Issue Date and prior to the time the Debenture is paid in full in accordance with its terms (including, without limitation, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, or, if the Debenture is not fully paid or converted after the Maturity Date), the Holder of this Debenture is entitled, at its option to convert this Debenture at any time into shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value (“Common Stock”), of the Company at the Conversion Price. Conversion Price” means the (i) the average VWAP for the 20 Trading Days ending on the Trading Day immediately before the relevant Conversion Date, multiplied by (ii) fifty percent (50%). At the date of this report, the debenture is in default, and the Company is working with the lender to restructure the debenture.
On July 31, 2008, the Company agreed to give the attorney who arranged the above financing 50,000 shares of stock in the Company for introducing the investor. Because of a delinquent payable with the Company’s stock transfer agent, the shares were converted to a 6 month loan of $50,000 with a maturity date of January 31, 2009. The note carried interest at a rate of 12% per annum, payable monthly in arrears in cash. At September 30, 2008, due to the inability of the Company to pay the interest on the note, the note was exchanged for a convertible debenture with the same maturity date of January 31, 2009 in the amount of $51,000. At any time on or after the Issue Date and prior to the time the Debenture is paid in full in accordance with its terms (including, without limitation, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, or, if the Debenture is not fully paid or converted after the Maturity Date), the Holder of this Debenture is entitled, at its option to convert this Debenture at any time into shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value (“Common Stock”), of the Company at the Conversion Price. Conversion Price” means the (i) the average VWAP for the 20 Trading Days ending on the Trading Day immediately before the relevant Conversion Date, multiplied by (ii) fifty percent (50%). As a result of the default on this debenture, the Company negotiated a settlement with the attorney to discharge the debenture, its accrued interest and old outstanding legal bills to the attorney for $75,000 paid $5,000 per month beginning August 1, 2009.
