NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2012
NOTE 1 – BASIS AND BUSINESS PRESENTATION
Debt Resolve, Inc. (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”) or cloud-based 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.
Basis of Presentation
These unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to the Form 10-Q, and therefore, do not include all the information necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. The unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated December 31, 2011 financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").
NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the presentation of the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements follows:
Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited condensed 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 period's presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported income or losses.
Concentrations and Credit Risk
The Company extends credit to large, mid-size and small companies for collection services. At September 30, 2012, two clients represented receivables of $15,000 (29%) and $30,000 (59%). At December 31, 2011, three clients represented receivables of $5,000 (19%), $10,000 (37%) and $11,777 (44%). As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, no allowance for doubtful accounts has been recognized.
The Company had two clients accounting for 44.9% and 44.9%; (total of 89.8%) of total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, and had two clients accounting for 37.7% and 37.7%; (total of 75.4%) of total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
The Company had two clients accounting for 45.0% and 47.0%; (total of 92.0%) of total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, and had two clients accounting for 44.0% and 49.0%; (total of 93.0%) of total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

DEBT RESOLVE, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2012
Income Taxes
The Company follows 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 primarily relate to debt costs.
Net Loss per Share
The Company follows 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 their effect is anti-dilutive on the computation. Average fully diluted shares outstanding were 101,801,118 and 103,622,369 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. Average fully diluted shares outstanding were 97,230,941 and 92,675,052 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011, respectively.
Stock-based compensation
Total stock-based compensation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 amounted to $50,000 and $105,000, respectively and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 amounted to $-0- and $136,500, 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 the Company has experienced, the match was suspended from mid-2008 to the present and will only be re-instated when business conditions warrant.
Reliance on Key Personnel and Consultants
The Company has only 4 full-time employees. Additionally, there are 2 consultants performing various specialized services. The Company is heavily dependent on the continued active participation of the President, the Chief Operating Officer and key consultants. The loss of the President, Chief Operating Officer or key consultants could significantly and negatively impact the business until adequate replacements can be identified and put in place.
Recent accounting pronouncements
There were various updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN MATTERS
The accompanying unaudited condensed 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. As shown in the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,342,148 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Additionally, the Company has negative working capital (total current liabilities exceeded total current assets) of $5,123,967 as of September 30, 2012. These factors among others raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
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. However, there can be no assurance that the Company can successfully accomplish these steps and or business plans, and it is uncertain that the Company will achieve a profitable level of operations and be able to obtain additional financing.
The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon management’s ability to develop profitable operations and resolve its liquidity problems. There can be no assurance that any additional financings will be available to the Company on satisfactory terms and conditions, if at all. In the event that the Company is unable to continue as a going concern, it may elect or be required to seek protection from its creditors by filing a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or may be subject to an involuntary petition in bankruptcy.
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 4 – PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 are comprised of the following:
September 30, 2012 | December 31, 2011 | |||||||

NOTE 11 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
On July 17, 2008, Dreier LLP, a law firm, filed a complaint in the Supreme Court of New York, County of New York, seeking damages of $311,023.32 plus interest for legal services allegedly rendered to us. The complaint was answered on August 14, 2008 raising various affirmative defenses. On December 16, 2008, Dreier LLP filed for bankruptcy in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. The case has been on hold since the bankruptcy filing. On March 18, 2009, the Company filed a counterclaim in the bankruptcy court for legal malpractice and the defenses raised in the previously filed answer. The full amount in dispute is included in the Company’s accounts payable. The bankruptcy case has stayed this litigation and is still pending at this time. However, the Company believes that based on bankruptcy law this action will be discharged along with the bankruptcy case following distribution of the assets of the estate with no liability to us.
Mathew L Johnson & Associates, P.C. v. Debt Resolve, Inc. (District Court, Clark County, of the State of Nevada Case No.A-12-665900-C):
Mathew L. Johnson & Associates, P. C ("MLJ"), the plaintiff, filed a complaint on or about July 27, 2012 related to a claim for breach of contract in the amount of $10,000. On or about August 23, 2010, MLJ preformed certain legal services on behalf of the Company. The Company entered into an agreement with MLJ, which provided for, among other things, a payment for services. This matter is in the early stages of discovery. We intend to vigorously defend against the claims asserted against us.
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.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
Overview
Since completing initial product development in early 2004, our primary business has been providing software solutions to consumer lenders or those collecting on those consumer loans based on our proprietary DR Settle™ solution, our Internet-based bidding system that facilitates the settlement and collection of defaulted consumer debt via the Internet. In 2010, we launched two other solutions, DR Prevent™ for early stage collections and DR Collect™, a solution specifically tailored to agencies and law firms. We have marketed our services primarily to consumer banks, collection agencies, collection law firms and the buyers of defaulted debt in the United States, Europe and Asia. We intend to market our services 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 or payday lenders. We believe that consumers who incurred their debt over the Internet will be quite 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. Also, 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 solutions can already handle most types of debt, and we make contact with these creditors in our normal course of business. However, we are continually upgrading our solutions to address specific client needs or to open new markets for our web solutions with our existing staff.
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 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. However, none of these additional costs that we are aware of at this time are material to our current cost structure or would impact our financial results in a material way.
Our marketing and client support goals are currently focused entirely on increasing revenue in the short term. Once we begin to approach breakeven on a cash basis, we expect our operating expenses to grow in line with revenues for an initial period as we employ additional technicians, sales people and client support representatives, although the rate of increase will level out. 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. In addition, we expect to incur moderate capital expenditures to upgrade our data center and provide for geographic redundancy. No additional costs of these types will be incurred until our revenues increase to the point that facilitates additional costs. Our current strategy focuses entirely on increasing revenue substantially within our current resources. Our current lean staffing does somewhat limit the number of new clients that we can implement each month and will eventually affect the number of clients that we can effectively support with our current cost structure.
In 2011, we adopted a business strategy of partnering with well known collection industry providers, including shop floor collection software providers, payment processors and other industry service vendors. We believe that partnering with these established industry providers will accelerate our sales effort, as these partners market our solutions to their existing client bases. We are integrating our solutions with their technology, and our partners are beginning their marketing efforts at this time.
20
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 and to document the performance of our solutions in each market to provide strong return-on-investment data to these prospective clients. Our recent clients tell us that they are happy with the results that they are getting. However, there is still an extensive sales process to get prospective clients comfortable with using web-based collection technology. As a result, our sales cycle tends to be longer in some cases than what is required from a technical perspective. We can have new clients up and running typically in 30 days or less, but the sales cycle may extend this period to 60-90 days with some prospective clients.
Our current contracts provide that we will earn revenue based on a percentage of the amount of debt collected from accounts submitted on our Debt Resolve solutions, flat fees per settlement achieved, flat fees per account placed, 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 flat monthly or annual 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 early delinquency stage DR Prevent module, 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. In October 2010, we launched a new application, DR Collect, which targets collection agencies and collection law firms on a flat monthly fee basis. Finally, we launched iSettleNow.com in late 2011 that charges new clients a setup fee and a percent of payments made through the solution. As we expand our knowledge of the industry, we 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 nine months ending September 30, 2012 and 2011, we had significantly inadequate revenues and incurred a net loss of $1,342,148 and $1,751,095, respectively, from operations. Cash used in operating activities was $304,198 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Cash used in operating activities was $632,355 for the year ended December 31, 2011. 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.
We need to raise additional capital in order to be able to accomplish our business plan objectives. We have historically satisfied our capital needs primarily from the sale of debt and equity securities. We are continuing our efforts to secure additional funds through debt and/or equity instruments. The principal sources of capital for us are private individual accredited investors and investment banks specializing in raising capital for micro-cap companies like us. Since 2009, the principal source of funding for us has been these private accredited investors, who have invested $1,747,000 in notes (including convertible notes) and $867,500 in stock purchases or a total of $2,614,500.
In addition, we closed a private placement with an investment bank in 2010 for gross proceeds of $1,600,000 in stock purchases. Also, a bank loaned us $300,000 of which $218,750 is still outstanding as of September 30, 2012. Finally, board members and management have loaned us $304,000 that has not been repaid or converted to stock and has provided either short term or longer term capital to us. These totals do not include other short term loans principally from non-affiliated third parties that were loaned to us and repaid since 2009.
21
We have successfully raised capital for our day-to-day operations since our inception in January 2003; however, no assurance can be provided that we will continue to be able to do so. There is no assurance that any funds secured will be sufficient to enable us to attain profitable operations or continue as a going concern. To the extent that we are unsuccessful, we may need to curtail our operations and implement a plan to extend payables and reduce overhead until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations. At any time until substantial capital is raised, there is also a significant risk of bankruptcy. These unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
We expect revenue to increase in 2013 based on current contracts and our sales pipeline from calendar 2012. During 2011, we used approximately $650,000 in cash plus we increased our accounts payable and accrued expenses for operations (excluding accrued interest) by another $350,000, for a total cash need of $1 million in 2011, with revenue of only $138,000. We expect similar expenses in 2012 and also have maturing notes of $500,000. Many of our partnerships that are currently driving revenue growth are only beginning to become active, and revenue for 2013 may substantially exceed the 200% increase based on current partnership agreements in place.
In addition to increasing revenue, we previously focused on improving our balance sheet to facilitate further investment. Our balance sheet enhancement efforts have resulted in significant dilution to our existing shareholders as certain liabilities were converted to stock. In addition, some of these conversions resulted in concentrated large illiquid blocks of our shares which may overhang our trading for extensive periods of time. This restructuring was substantially completed in October 2010. Our efforts removed approximately $8 million of current liabilities from the balance sheet at June 30, 2009 that was filed on our Form 10-Q on August 19, 2009. The liabilities converted or settled were certain ones that existed on that balance sheet date. The conversion to equity of some of these liabilities resulted in the issuance of approximately 23.6 million shares. Approximately $377,000 of notes from that period remain outstanding that are subject to later conversion at a conversion rate of $0.10 per share.
Since most of the restructuring has been substantially completed, there would not be significant additional shares issued or dilution for this reason, except for the $377,000 of notes discussed above that have the potential for the issuance of 3,770,000 shares plus additional shares for accrued interest. Also, there will not be further large blocks of liabilities removed going forward as there was during the period July 1, 2009 to October 31, 2010. While the improvements have enhanced our balance sheet and therefore made securing additional funding more practical, the remaining liabilities will have to be paid down over time and will consume a portion of free cash flow post-profitability. Also, even though the balance sheet has improved significantly since June 30, 2009, there is no assurance that we will be successful in raising additional capital to continue operations until we reach profitability.
Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2012 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2011
Revenues
Revenues totaled $33,430 and $33,252 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. We earned revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 as a percent of debt collected, on a fee per settlement and on a flat monthly fee basis.

Depreciation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2012 is lower due to the full depreciation of some assets after September 30, 2011.
Interest (expense). We recorded interest expense of $71,588 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to interest expense of $69,704 for the three months ended September 30, 2011. Interest expense increased due to additional notes in 2012.

Payroll and related expenses. Payroll and related expenses amounted to $496,107 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, as compared to $631,490 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, a decrease of $135,383. The decrease mainly resulted from the a reduction in staffing in the current period as compared to the same period last year Salaries were $337,100 and $422,150 in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Employee benefits were $159,007 and $209,340 in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

23
Travel, marketing, insurance and legal expense were $5,161, $18,394, $71,787 and $9,657 in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared with $10,659, $36,754, $80,854 and $150,520 in the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease in legal fees was primarily due to most legal matters being handled internally by the ex-President, chief financial Officer and Acting General Counsel through June 30, 2012.
Depreciation and amortization expense. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, we recorded depreciation expense of $1,507 and $9,383, respectively.

Amortization expense decreased by $29,621 or 8.5% due to maturing notes payable issued in prior years.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2012, we had a working capital deficiency (total current liabilities exceeded total current assets) in the amount of $5,123,967 and cash and cash equivalents totaling $663. We reported a net loss of $1,342,148 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Net cash used in operating activities was $304,198 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Cash flow provided by financing activities was $278,029 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. As of December 31, 2011, we had a working capital deficiency (total current liabilities exceeded total current assets) in the amount of $3,688,892 and cash and cash equivalents totaling $26,832. 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.
We have historically satisfied our capital needs primarily from the sale of debt and equity securities. We are continuing our efforts to secure additional funds through debt and/or equity instruments. The principal sources of capital for us are private individual accredited investors and investment banks specializing in raising capital for micro-cap companies like us. Since 2009, the principal source of funding for us has been these private accredited investors, who have invested $1,747,000 in notes (including convertible notes) and $867,500 in stock purchases or a total of $2,614,500. In addition, we closed a private placement with an investment bank in 2010 for gross proceeds of $1,600,000 in stock purchases. Also, a bank loaned us $300,000 of which $218,750 is still outstanding as of September 30, 2012. Finally, board members and management have loaned us $329,000 that has not been repaid or converted to stock and has provided either short term or longer term capital to us. These totals do not include other short term loans principally from non-affiliated third parties that were loaned to us and repaid since 2009.
We have successfully raised capital for our day-to-day operations since our inception in January 2003; however, no assurance can be provided that we will continue to be able to do so. There is no assurance that any funds secured will be sufficient to enable us to attain profitable operations or continue as a going concern. To the extent that we are unsuccessful, we may need to curtail our operations and implement a plan to extend payables and reduce overhead until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations. At any time until substantial capital is raised, there is also a significant risk of bankruptcy. There can be no assurance that any plan to raise additional funding will be successful. It is quite challenging in the current environment to raise money given the initial delays in generating meaningful revenue. We constantly speak with banks or investors, but the yield is low. Unless our revenue grows quickly, it may not be possible to demonstrate the progress investors require to secure additional funding. 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 condensed 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.
25
Stock-based compensation
We account 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, we are 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 nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 amounted to $85,000 and $176,500, respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There were various updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

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."
26
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 and outside accounting professionals. 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 unaudited condensed financial statements for the three months ended September, 30, 2012 and 2011 fairly presented, in all material respects, its financial condition and results of operations. During the three months ended September 30, 2012, 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.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Lawsuits from vendors
On July 17, 2008, Dreier LLP, a law firm, filed a complaint in the Supreme Court of New York, County of New York, seeking damages of $311,023.32 plus interest for legal services allegedly rendered to us. The complaint was answered on August 14, 2008 raising various affirmative defenses. On December 16, 2008, Dreier LLP filed for bankruptcy in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. The case has been on hold since the bankruptcy filing. On March 18, 2009, the Company filed a counterclaim in the bankruptcy court for legal malpractice and the defenses raised in the previously filed answer. The full amount in dispute is included in the Company’s accounts payable. The bankruptcy case has stayed this litigation and is still pending at this time. However, the Company believes that based on bankruptcy law this action will be discharged along with the bankruptcy case following distribution of the assets of the estate with no liability to us.
Mathew L Johnson & Associates, P.C. v. Debt Resolve, Inc. (District Court, Clark County, of the State of Nevada Case No.A-12-665900-C):
Mathew L. Johnson & Associates, P. C ("MLJ"), the plaintiff, filed a complaint on or about July 27, 2012 related to a claim for breach of contract in the amount of $10,000. On or about August 23, 2010, MLJ preformed certain legal services on behalf of the Company. The Company entered into an agreement with MLJ, which provided for, among other things, a payment for services. This matter is in the early stages of discovery. We intend to vigorously defend against the claims asserted against us.
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.

Item 3. Defaults upon Senior Securities
On December 21, 2007, an unaffiliated investor loaned us $125,000 on an unsecured 18-month note with a maturity date of June 21, 2009. The note has a provision requiring repayment once we 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 we reached the $500,000 threshold in September, 2008. The note carries interest at a rate of 12% per annum, with interest accruing and payable at maturity. In conjunction with the note, we granted to the investor a warrant to purchase 37,500 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.07 and an expiration date of December 21, 2012. This note is guaranteed by Mr. Burchetta, a Company director. On April 10, 2008, we borrowed an additional $198,000 from this investor. Please see discussion below.

On December 30, 2007, an unaffiliated investor loaned us $200,000 on an 18-month note with a maturity date of June 30, 2009. The note carries interest at a rate of 12% per annum, with interest accruing and payable at maturity. In conjunction with this note, the Company also issued a warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 and an expiration date of December 30, 2012. This note is guaranteed by Mr. Burchetta, a Company director. As of September 30, 2012, this note has matured and is still outstanding and is in default at this time. The Company is in discussions with the lender.
On April 10, 2008, an unaffiliated investor loaned us an additional $198,000 on an amendment of the prior unsecured 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, we 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. This note is guaranteed by Mr. Burchetta, a Director of the Company. 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, we had raised in excess of $500,000 subsequent to this amended note, and as a result, this note is in default. We 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. On February 12, 2010, we converted $74,867 of accrued interest through January 2010 and $65,133 of principal on the note to stock. On August 27, 2010, we repaid $80,000 in principal on the note, leaving a remaining balance of $177,867 plus accrued interest due on the note as of September 30, 2012. As of September 30, 2012, this note has matured and is still outstanding and is in default at this time.
From June 2009 to March 2010, unaffiliated investors loaned the Company an aggregate of $1,217,459 (excluding $20,000 related party, see Note 7) on three-year Series A Convertible Notes with an interest rate of 14%. The interest accrues and is payable at maturity, which range in dates from August 2012 to March 2013. The conversion price is set at $0.15 per share. The Notes carry a first lien security interest in all of the assets of the Company. As of September 30, 2012, $389,500 of the outstanding notes were in default.
