NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2010
NOTE 1 — BASIS AND BUSINESS PRESENTATION
A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the presentation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements follows:
General
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Debt Resolve, Inc., (the "Company"), have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results from operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2010, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2010. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated December 31, 2009 financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's SEC Form 10-K.
Basis of presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, including DRV Capital LLC, its wholly-owned subsidiary ("DRV Capital"). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Debt Resolve, Inc. and subsidiary (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in April 21, 1997. The Company offers its service as an Application Service Provider ("ASP") model, enabling clients to introduce this collection option with no modifications to their existing collections computer systems. Its products capitalize on using the Internet as a tool for communication, resolution, settlement and payment of delinquent debt. To date, the Company has had minimal sales revenues, has incurred expenses and has sustained substantial losses. Consequently, its operations are subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise. For the period from inception through March 31, 2010, the Company has accumulated a deficit through its development stage of $71,793,006.
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassification
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods' data to conform to the current year's presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported income or losses.

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Revenue Recognition
To date, the Company has earned revenue from collection agencies, collection law firms and lenders that implemented our online system. The Company's current contracts provide for revenue based on a percentage of the amount of debt collected or through 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 the client or at the beginning of the month for a flat fee. For the early adopters of the Company's product, the Company has 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 flat monthly fees with transaction fees upon debt settlement, fees per account loaded or fees per settlement. The Company is currently marketing our system to three primary markets. The first and second are financial institutions and collection agencies or law firms, our traditional markets. The Company is also expanding into healthcare, particularly hospitals, which is our third market.
In recognition of the principles expressed in Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 605-10, Revenue Recognition ("ASC 605-10") 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, the Company postpones recognition of all contingent revenue until the client receives payment from the debtor. As is required by SAB 104, revenues are considered to have been earned when the Company has 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 the Company's system and/or, for clients under a flat fee arrangement, the successful availability of the Company's system to its customers.
In addition, in accordance with ASC 605-10, revenue is recognized and identified according to the deliverable provided. Set-up fees, percentage contingent collection fees, fixed settlement fees, monthly fees, etc. are identified separately.
Accounts Receivable
The Company extends credit to large, mid-size and small companies for collection services. The Company has a concentration of credit risk as almost 100% of the balance of accounts receivable at December 31, 2009 and 2008 consists of only two customers or one customer, respectively. 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 collectability and the allowance for doubtful accounts is adjusted accordingly. Management determines collectability based on their experience and knowledge of the customers. As of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, no allowance for doubtful accounts has been booked.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the Statements of Cash Flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Fair Values
In the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("ASC 820-10"). ASC 820-10 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and enhances fair value measurement disclosure. ASC 820-10 delays, until the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, the effective date for ASC 820-10 for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The adoption of ASC 820-10 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or operations. Refer to Footnote 17 for further discussion regarding fair valuation.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. When retired or otherwise disposed, the related carrying value and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and the net difference less any amount realized from disposition, is reflected in earnings. For financial statement purposes, property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of 3 to 5 years.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment ("ASC 360-10"). ASC 360-10 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses, or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period. The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon forecasted undiscounted cash flows. Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of intangible assets will be adjusted, based on estimates of future discounted cash flows resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset. ASC 360-10 also requires assets to be disposed of be reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.
Income Taxes
The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 740-10, Income Taxes ("ASC 740-10") which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statement or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Temporary differences between taxable income reported for financial reporting purposes and income tax purposes are insignificant. The adoption of ASC 740-10 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
Comprehensive Income
The Company does not have any items of comprehensive income in any of the periods presented.

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Net Loss per Share
The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 260-10, Earnings Per Share ("ASC 260-10") specifying the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements of earnings per share information. Basic loss per share has been calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Stock options and warrants have been excluded as common stock equivalents in the diluted loss per share because there effect is anti-dilutive on the computation. Fully diluted shares outstanding were 74,238,245 and 69,087,559 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Stock-based compensation
Effective for the year beginning January 1, 2006, the Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 718-10, Stock-based Compensation ("ASC 718-10") which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro-forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. This statement does not change the accounting guidance for share based payment transactions with parties other than employees provided in ASC 718-10. The Company implemented ASC 718-10 on January 1, 2006 using the modified prospective method.
Total stock-based compensation expense for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 amounted to $109,650 and $12,500, respectively.
Defined Contribution (401k) Plan
The Company maintains a defined contribution (401k) plan for our employees. The plan provides for a company match in the amount of 100% of the first 3% of pre-tax salary contributed and 50% of the next 3% of pre-tax salary contributed. Due to the severe cash limitations that we have experienced, the match was suspended for 2009 and 2010 and will only be re-instated when business conditions warrant.
Reliance on Key Personnel and Consultants
The Company has only 4 full-time employees and one part-time employee. Additionally, there are approximately 12 consultants performing various specialized services. The Company is heavily dependent on the continued active participation of the President and key consultants. The loss of the President or key consultants could significantly and negatively impact the business until adequate replacements can be identified and put in place.

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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 record 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 Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging; Contracts in Entity's Own Equity ("ASC 815-40") 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. As of March 31, 2010, 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 395.91%; and risk free interest rate from 0.16% to 2.55%. The derivative liabilities are classified as long term liabilities.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2010, the FASB issued new accounting guidance, under ASC Topic 605 on Revenue Recognition. This standard provides that the milestone method is a valid application of the proportional performance model for revenue recognition if the milestones are substantive and there is substantive uncertainty about whether the milestones will be achieved. Determining whether a milestone is substantive requires judgment that should be made at the inception of the arrangement. To meet the definition of a substantive milestone, the consideration earned by achieving the milestone (1) would have to be commensurate with either the level of effort required to achieve the milestone or the enhancement in the value of the item delivered, (2) would have to relate solely to past performance, and (3) should be reasonable relative to all deliverables and payment terms in the arrangement. No bifurcation of an individual milestone is allowed and there can be more than one milestone in an arrangement. The standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-09, which updates the guidance in ASC 855,Subsequent Events, such that companies that file with the SEC will no longer be required to indicate the date through which they have analyzed subsequent events. This updated guidance became effective immediately upon issuance and was adopted as of the first quarter of 2010.
In February 2010 the FASB issued Update No. 2010-08 "Technical Corrections to Various Topics" ("2010-08"). 2010-08 represents technical corrections to SEC paragraphs within various sections of the Codification. Management is currently evaluating whether these changes will have any material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)
In January 2010 the FASB issued Update No. 2010-06 "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures–Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements" ("2010-06"). 2010-06 requires new disclosures regarding significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements, and disclosures regarding purchases, sales, issuances and settlements, on a gross basis, for Level 3 fair value measurements. 2010-06 also calls for further disaggregation of all assets and liabilities based on line items shown in the statement of financial position. This amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating whether adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In January 2010 the FASB issued Update No. 2010-05 "Compensation–Stock Compensation–Escrowed Share Arrangements and Presumption of Compensation" ("2010-05"). 2010-05 re-asserts that the Staff of the Securities Exchange Commission (the "SEC Staff") has stated the presumption that for certain shareholders escrowed share represent a compensatory arrangement. 2010-05 further clarifies the criteria required to be met to establish a position different from the SEC Staff's position. The Company does not believe this pronouncement will have any material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In January 2010 the FASB issued Update No. 2010-04 "Accounting for Various Topics–Technical Corrections to SEC Paragraphs" ("2010-04"). 2010-04 represents technical corrections to SEC paragraphs within various sections of the Codification. Management is currently evaluating whether these changes will have any material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In January 2010 the FASB issued Update No. 2010-02 "Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary–a Scope Clarification" ("2010-02") an update of ASC 810 "Consolidation." 2010-02 clarifies the scope of ASC 810 with respect to decreases in ownership in a subsidiary to those of a subsidiary or group of assets that are a business or nonprofit, a subsidiary that is transferred to an equity method investee or joint venture, and an exchange of a group of assets that constitutes a business or nonprofit activity to a non-controlling interest including an equity method investee or a joint venture. Management does not expect adoption of this standard to have any material impact on its financial position, results of operations or operating cash flows. Management does not intend to decrease its ownership in any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
In January 2010 the FASB issued Update No. 2010-01 "Accounting for Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash–a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force" ("2010-03") an update of ASC 505 "Equity." 2010-03 clarifies the treatment of stock distributions as dividends to shareholders and their affect on the computation of earnings per shares. Management does not expect adoption of this standard to have any material impact on its financial position, results of operations or operating cash flows.

NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN MATTERS (continued)
The Company has undertaken further steps as part of a plan to improve operations with the goal of sustaining our operations for the next twelve months and beyond to address its lack of liquidity by raising additional funds, either in the form of debt or equity or some combination thereof.

NOTE 7 - CONVERTIBLE NOTES, SHORT TERM
On September 30, 2008, an unaffiliated investor loaned the Company $300,000 on a 6-month unsecured 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 or stock. The outstanding principal and interest may be repaid, in whole or in part, at any time without prepayment penalty. The Exchange Agreement called 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, which were issued during the year ended December 31, 2009. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 470-50, Debt-Modifications and Extinguishments ("ASC 470-50"), the exchange was determined to be an extinguishment of debt, and extinguishment accounting was applied. The debenture was secured by an escrow of 450,000 shares of the common stock of the Company, which was held in escrow at the lender's attorney's office. These shares were released from escrow during the year ended December 31, 2009 in payment of the interest accrued through July 31, 2009 and a partial payment of the principal (see below). 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 (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 $252,030, based on the relative fair value of the conversion feature. The beneficial conversion feature was amortized over the term of the debenture. The
15
debenture was also recorded net of a deferred debt discount of $47,970 as shares to be issued based on the relative fair value of the Exchange Shares. The deferred debt discount was also amortized over the term of the debenture. During the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded amortization of the beneficial conversion feature and deferred debt discount related to this debenture of $0 and $150,000, respectively.
On August 31, 2009, the Company repaid $30,950 in note principal and $23,322 in accrued interest by the issuance of 450,000 shares of Company common stock from treasury that were valued at the closing market price of $0.25 per share. Based on the $112,500 value of the shares issued, the Company recognized a $58,228 loss on extinguishment of the debt during the year ended December 31, 2009. On March 24, 2010, the Company repaid $9,050 in note principal and $3,096 in accrued interest by issuance of 222,447 shares of Company common stock that were valued at $0.26 per share. Based on a $57,836 value of the shares issued, the Company recognized a $45,691 loss on extinguishment of debt during the three months ended March 31, 2010. As of March 31, 2010, the outstanding balance on this convertible was $260,000. At the date of this report, the debenture has been paid in full and discharged.
On July 31, 2008, the Company agreed to pay 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 December 31, 2008, due to the inability of the Company to pay the interest on the note, the note was exchanged for an unsecured 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 (i) the average of the lowest three (3) bid prices for the Common Stock over a ten (10) Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately before the relevant Conversion Date, multiplied by (ii) fifty percent (50%), provided that Holder shall not receive more than 9.99% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock. The debenture was recorded net of a beneficial conversion feature of $51,000, based on the relative fair value of the conversion feature.

As of March 31, 2010, $375,459 plus accrued interest was converted to stock by the terms of the notes, leaving a balance remaining of $862,000.
During the three months ended March 31, 2010, unaffiliated investors loaned the Company an aggregate of $200,000 on three year Series B Convertible Debentures with an interest rate of 14%. During the period, $50,000 was repaid in cash, leaving a balance of $150,000 on these debentures at March 31, 2010. The interest accrues and is payable at maturity.

The warrants are callable when the Company's stock trades above $0.75 per share for 10 consecutive trading days. The notes were recorded net of a deferred debt discount of $161,000, based on the relative fair value of the warrants under the Black-Scholes pricing model. Such discount is being amortized over the term of the notes. During the three month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded amortization of the debt discount related to these notes of $48,222 and $0, respectively.
The embedded conversion option related to the Convertible Debentures is accounted for under ASC 815-40. 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. See derivative liability discussion below.
NOTE 11 - DERIVATIVE LIABILITY
As described in Note 7 above, the Company's derivative financial instruments consist of embedded derivatives related to the short term Convertible Debentures. These embedded derivatives include certain conversion features indexed to the Company's common stock. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the derivatives and related items 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 Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging; Contracts in Entity's Own Equity ("ASC 815-40"), 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. As of March 31, 2010, conversion-related derivatives fair value of $3,102,208 and the warrants and option fair values of $6,677,178 were determined using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0%; annual volatility of 395.911%; and risk free interest rate from 0.06% to 2.55%. The derivative liabilities are classified as long term liabilities.
As of the date of the financial statements, the Company believes an event under the contract that would create an obligation to settle in cash or other current assets is remote and has classified the obligation as a long term liability.

NOTE 15 — EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS (continued)
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 would 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 the Company 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. Compensation expense under the employment agreement with Mr. Burchetta is recorded as payroll and related expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations and totaled $0 and $135,417 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. On August 27, 2009, the accrued salary from 2008 was converted to stock.
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. Consulting expense under the consulting agreement with Mr. Burchetta is recorded as general and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations and totaled $30,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and $195,833 for the year ended December 31, 2009. Consulting expense for the year ended December 31, 2008 totaled $114,583. On August 27, 2009, the accrued consulting fees of $242,500 for the period July 2008 through July 2009 were converted to stock. On September 29, 2009 and effective as of August 1, 2009, the Company and Mr. Burchetta amended his consulting agreement from a full-time consulting position to a part-time consulting position. In addition, the monthly consulting fee was reduced from $20,833 per month to $10,000 per month. Finally, Mr. Burchetta waived the condition that his compensation exceeds that of the CEO by at least $25,000 per month and has comparable benefits. In return for the modifications to the contract with a termination date of January 13, 2013, Mr. Burchetta received 1,686,000 shares of stock, which represents the reduction in compensation during the remaining term of the agreement.
As of March 31, 2010, the Company owes Mr. Burchetta an aggregate of $40,000 under the consulting agreement.

NOTE 17 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
The Company adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments ("ASC 825-10") on January 1, 2008. ASC 825-10 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. ASC 825-10 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. ASC 825-10 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.
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 ASC 825-10, 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 financial instruments as of March 31, 2010 which was recorded on the balance sheet at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required by ASC 825-10, these are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement:
Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Instruments Level 1 | Significant Other Observable Inputs Level 2 | Significant Unobservable Inputs Level 3 | ||||||||||||||||||
Liabilities: | ||||||||||||||||||||
Derivative liability | $ | (9,779,387 | ) |
At March 31, 2010, the carrying amounts of the notes payable approximate fair value because all of the notes have been classified to current maturity.

NOTE 19 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Subsequent to March 31, 2010, the Company has received $40,370 under short-term loans under which certain investors paid certain accounts payable of the Company. In conjunction with these loans, these investors were issued 403,702 warrants to purchase the common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.25.
Subsequent to March 31, 2010, the Company has received $75,000 under the Series B Convertible Debentures from unaffiliated investors. These debentures are convertible at a conversion rate of $0.15 per share. Upon conversion, these investors will also receive 300,000 warrants to purchase the common stock of the Company at a price of $0.40 per share. These warrants, as described above, are callable when the stock of the Company trades at greater than $0.75 per share for 10 consecutive trading days.
Subsequent to March 31, 2010, the Company has received $40,000 under Series C Convertible Debentures from unaffiliated investors. These debentures are convertible at a conversion rate of $0.15 per share. These investors were issued 400,000 warrants to purchase the common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.40 per share. The conversion rate and warrant exercise price of this series has limited re-pricing rights if a subsequent offering occurs with certain conditions no later than June 30, 2010.
As a result of the late repayment of the 60-day loan from William M. Mooney, a Director, dated September 24, 2009, the Company became liable for a $69,000 tax penalty on the loan as of April 15, 2010. As a result, the original $150,000 loan now has a total due of $219,000 less a $25,000 partial repayment on April 6, 2010, for a net balance on the loan of $194,000 due. In addition, Mr. Mooney was previously owed $7,000 on a prior line of credit, for a total due to Mr. Mooney of $201,000.
On April 8, 2010, the Board appointed James G. Brakke, a director of the Company, to the position of Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Brakke will receive a salary of $120,000 a year, which accrues unpaid until the Company completes a single funding tranche of at least $1 million. Mr. Brakke also received 1,500,000 options to purchase the common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.17 per share. At the same Board meeting, the Company granted 1,000,000 options to purchase the common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.17 per share for his service as Interim Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The remaining two Board members each received 1,000,000 options at the $0.17 exercise price for their service to the Board during 2009. All of the options have seven year terms. It is the custom of the Company to award Board options around the time of the 10-K filing of the Company each year.
On April 7, 2010, $100,000 of the $260,000 remaining principal on a short term convertible note was converted into 1,831,502 shares of common stock of the Company. The remaining balance on the note after the conversion was $160,000.
On May 17, 2010, the remaining $160,000 in principal and accrued interest of $6,669 was converted to 3,947,194 shares of the common stock of the Company. Following this conversion, the note was fully repaid and discharged.

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 DebtResolve™ 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, Europe and now Asia. 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 DebtResolve™ 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 six 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, from flat fees per account placed on the system 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 2010, 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
35
have become aware that different revenue models may be more appropriate for the individual circumstances of our potential clients, and our expanded choice of revenue models reflects that knowledge.
For the three months ending March 31, 2010 and the year ending December 31, 2009, we had inadequate revenues and incurred net losses of $3,299,116 and $13,115,424 from continuing operations, respectively. Cash used in operating activities of continuing operations was $387,695 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Based upon projected operating expenses of approximately $80,000 per month, 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, 2010, the Company has secured $154,550 in additional financing.

Payroll and related expenses amounted to $137,346 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, as compared to $192,241 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, a decrease of $54,895. This decrease was due to having fewer employees in 2010 versus 2009. Salaries were $83,750 and $160,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Employee benefits were $18,859 and $17,142 in the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Employee stock compensation expense increased to $26,250 in the three months ended March 31, 2010 from $12,500 in the three months ended March 31, 2009, as there was a new grant in the 2010 period to a new Advisory Board member. Employment taxes were $8,487 and $2,599 during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, as most payrolls were accrued in 2009 and not paid.
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses amounted to $1,470,524 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, as compared to $277,973 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, an increase of $1,192,551. This increase was due to entirely to increases in fundraising costs associated with removing cash liabilities from our balance sheet and higher legal and accounting costs. Stock compensation to consultants was $83,400 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Occupancy was $3,000 and ($1,718) for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Telecommunications was $13,302 and $20,161 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, as we restructured to a lower cost system in 2009. Service fees were $1,013,675 and $171,974 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, as we incurred higher fundraising expense for note conversions. Accounting increased to $55,475 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 due to not filing our 2008 10-K in the normal period. Travel, marketing, insurance and legal were $14,640, $1,898, $12,826 and $82,870 in the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared with $965, $1,273, $27,783 and $33,265 in the three months ended March 31, 2009. Miscellaneous general and administrative expenses were $3,439 and $24,144 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, with higher extension fees on outstanding notes in 2008.
36
Depreciation and amortization expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, we recorded depreciation expense of $10,279 and $12,279, respectively. Depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010 is lower due to the full depreciation of some assets after March 31, 2009.
Interest income (expense). We recorded interest income, interest expense and interest expense — related parties of $0, ($4,645) and ($66,434) for the three months ended March 31, 2010, respectively, compared to interest income, interest expense and interest expense — related parties of $0, ($35,614) and ($56,934), respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2009.
Amortization of deferred debt discount.Amortization expense of $389,524 and $190,617 was incurred for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, 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 increased due to the issuance of new notes after March 31, 2009.
Gain/(Loss) on derivative liability.We recorded a loss on derivative liability of ($1,262,671) and a gain of $68,409 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, for the revaluation of certain derivatives at March 31, 2010 and 2009. Our higher stock price at March 31, 2010 resulted in a large loss for the current period compared to the lower stock prices during the three months ended March 31, 2009.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2010, we had a working capital deficiency in the amount of $3,941,366 from operations and cash and cash equivalents totaling $81,399. We incurred a net loss of $3,299,116 from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Net cash used in operating activities was $387,695 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Cash flow provided by financing activities was $469,095 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. As of December 31, 2009, we had a working capital deficiency in the amount of $4,229,322 and cash and cash equivalents totaling $0. We incurred a net loss of $13,115,424 from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2009. Net cash used in operating and investing activities for continuing operations was $956,740 and $0, respectively for the year ended December 31, 2009. Cash flow provided by financing activities for continuing operations was $942,358 for the year ended December 31, 2009. Our working capital as of the date of this report is negative 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 have also settled some of our liabilities through issuances of our common stock, and we expect to settle additional liabilities through 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 issued under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 718-10, Compensation ("ASC 718-10"). Under the provisions of ASC 718-10, 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 ASC 718-10. 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. Total stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 amounted to $109,650 and $12,500, respectively. As of March 31, 2010, there was no unrecognized compensation cost.
The Company accounts for the expected life of share options in accordance with the "simplified" method provisions ASC 718-10.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The following accounting guidance has been issued and will be effective for the Company in or after fiscal year 2009:
Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") 820,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("ASC 820" and formerly referred to as FAS-157), establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, clarifies the definition of fair value within that framework, and expands disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. ASC 820 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. ASC 820-10-65,Transition and Open Effective Date Information, deferred the effective date of ASC 820, for non-financial assets and liabilities that are not on a recurring basis recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements, to fiscal years, and interim periods, beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company has adopted the guidance within ASC 820 for non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at January 1, 2009 and will continue to apply its provisions prospectively from January 1, 2009. The application of ASC 820 for non-financial assets and liabilities did not have a significant impact on earnings nor the financial position for the periods presented.
38
FASB ASC 805,Business Combinations ("ASC 805" and formerly referred to as FAS-141(R)) requires the acquisition method to be applied to all transactions and other events in which an entity obtains control over one or more other businesses, requires the acquirer to recognize the fair value of all assets and liabilities acquired, even if less than one hundred percent ownership is acquired, and establishes the acquisition date fair value as measurement date for all assets and liabilities assumed. The guidance within ASC 805 is effective prospectively for any acquisitions made after fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008.
FASB ASC 810,Consolidation ("ASC 810"), ASC 810-10-65,Transition and Open Effective Date Information ("ASC 810-10-65" and formerly referred to as FAS-160) establishes accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated financial statements. ASC 810-10-65 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The application of ASC 810-10-65 did not have a significant impact on earnings nor the financial position.
FASB ASC 815,Derivatives and Hedging("ASC 815"), ASC 815-10-65,Transition and Open Effective Date Information ("ASC 815-10-65"and formerly referred to as FAS-161) includes a requirement for enhanced disclosures about an entity's derivative and hedging activities and thereby improves the transparency of financial reporting. ASC 815 is effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The application of ASC 815 expanded the required disclosures in regards to the Company's derivative and hedging activities.
FASB ASC 350,Intangibles — Goodwill and Other, ASC 350-30-65,Transition and Open Effective Date Information ("ASC 350-30-65" and formerly referred to as FSP FAS 142-3) amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible. ASC 350-30-65 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The guidance in this ASC 350-30-65 for determining the useful life of a recognized intangible shall be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective date. The disclosure requirements of ASC 350-30-65, however, shall be applied prospectively to all intangible assets recognized in the Company's financial statements as of the effective date. The application of ASC 350-30-65 is not expected to have a material impact on earnings nor the financial position.
FASB ASC 715,Compensation — Retirement Benefits, ASC 715-20-65,Transition and Open Effective Date Information ("ASC 715-20-65" and formerly referred to as FSP FAS-132(R)-1) provides guidance on an employer's disclosures about plan assets of a defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. ASC 715-20-65 is effective prospectively for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. The application of ASC 715-20-65 will expand the Company's disclosures regarding pension plan assets.
FASB ASC 825Financial Instruments, ASC 825-10-65,Transition and Open Effective Date Information ("ASC 825-10-65" and formerly referred to as FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1) requires disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods as well as in annual financial statements. This guidance also requires those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. ASC 825-10-65 is effective prospectively for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The application of ASC 825-10-65 expanded the Company's disclosures regarding the use of fair value in interim periods.
FASB ASC 855,Subsequent Events ("ASC 855" and formerly referred to as FAS-165), modified the subsequent event guidance. The three modifications to the subsequent events guidance are: 1) To name the two types of subsequent events either as recognized or non-recognized subsequent events, 2) To modify the definition of subsequent events to refer to events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date, but before the financial statement are issued or available to be issued and 3) To require entities to disclose the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date, i.e. whether that date represents the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. This guidance is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009, and should be applied prospectively

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 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 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 Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. 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 Generally Accepted Accounting Principles commensurate with financial reporting requirements. Accordingly, we place undue reliance on the finance team at corporate headquarters, specifically the executive who is our 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 months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 fairly present, in all material respects, its financial condition and results of operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, 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 outstanding principal and interest may be repaid, in whole or in part, at any time without prepayment penalty. Accordingly, since the loan remains unpaid, the Company has accrued the service fee of $45,000 as of March 31, 2010. In conjunction with the note, the Company also issued a warrant to purchase 175,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.25 and an expiration date of February 26, 2013.

Such discount is being amortized over the term of the note. During the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded amortization of the debt discount related to this note of $0 and $9,567, respectively. As of March 31, 2010, this note has matured and is still outstanding and is in default. The Company is in discussions with the lender.
On April 10, 2008, an unaffiliated 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. In conjunction with the note, the Company also issued a warrant to purchase 99,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.45 and an expiration date of April 10, 2013. This warrant has a "cashless" exercise feature. The note was recorded net of a deferred debt discount of $88,110, based on the relative fair value of the warrant. The debt discount is being amortized over the term of the note. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company recorded amortization of the debt discount related to this note of $73,425 and 88, 110, with the discount being fully amortized at September 30, 2008 due to the note being in default. 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 September 30, 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 $122,130 in order to induce the investor to forbear on the note, which is included in expenses. As of March 31, 2010, this note has matured and is still outstanding and is in default. On February 12, 2010, the Company converted $74,867 of accrued interest through January 31, 2010 and $65,133 of principal on the note to stock. The remaining principal balance after the payment is $257,867 (for both notes). The investor signed a 90-day standstill on the note in consideration of the payment. The Company is in continuing discussions with the lender.
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.
