Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
Performance Capital Management, LLC (the “Company”) was notified that, effective January 1, 2010, certain partners of Moore Stephens Wurth Frazer and Torbet, LLP (“MSWFT”) and Frost, PLLC (“Frost”) formed Frazer Frost, LLP (“Frazer Frost”), a new partnership. Pursuant to the terms of a combination agreement by and among MSWFT, Frazer Frost and Frost (the “Combination Agreement”), each of MSWFT and Frost contributed all of their assets and certain of their liabilities to Frazer Frost, resulting in Frazer Frost assuming MSWFT’s engagement letter with the Company and becoming the Company’s new independent accounting firm. As of the date of this Current Report, Frazer Frost is not registered with the Public Company Accounting and Oversight Board (PCAOB), however such registration is in process.
The audit reports of MSWFT on the financial statements of the Company as of and for the years ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the Company’s most two recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and through January 1, 2010, the Company did not consult with Frazer Frost on (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that may be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and Frazer Frost did not provide either a written report or oral advice to the Company that was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue; or (ii) the subject of any disagreement, as defined in Item 304 (a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions, or a reportable event within the meaning set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
In connection with the audits of the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and through the date of this Current Report, there were: (i) no disagreements between the Company and MSWFT on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of MSWFT, would have caused MSWFT to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in their reports on the Company’s financial statements for such years, and (ii) no reportable events within the meaning set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company has provided MSWFT a copy of the disclosures in this Form 8-K and has requested that MSWFT furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not MSWFT agrees with the Company’s statements in this Item 4.01(a). A copy of the letter dated January 7, 2010, furnished by MSWFT in response to that request is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
Reduction in Force
In an effort to cut ongoing operating expenses, the Company terminated all but four of its full-time employees and three of its part-time employees effective January 1, 2010. Its two officers, David Caldwell and Darren Bard, were not terminated. However, Mr. Bard will be resigning effective January 15, 2010, as previously reported in a report on Form 8-K dated December 15, 2009 and filed with the SEC on December 21, 2009. The Company plans to outsource its collections operations until such time as its portfolios are sold. The Company did not incur any material charges as a result of the reduction in force.

You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. The actual results that we achieve may differ materially from any forward-looking statements due to such risks and uncertainties.
