NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AUGUST 31, 2010
NOTE 1: NATURE OF BUSINESS
SupportSave Solutions, Inc. was incorporated in Nevada on May 2, 2007, and provides offshore business process outsourcing, or BPO, services from an outsourcing center through its wholly-owned subsidiary of the same name, which was incorporated in the Philippines on October 17, 2006 and operates in the Philippines. Both the parent and its subsidiary are hereinafter referred to as "the Company".
NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are presented in US dollars. The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting and has adopted a May 31 fiscal year end.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. We believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the financial information presented not misleading. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended May 31, 2010. All adjustments were of a normal recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the interim period have been included. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the res ults for the full year.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the parent company and its wholly-owned Philippines subsidiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
SupportSave considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of 3 months or less to be cash equivalents.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided by straight-line and accelerated methods, over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from 39 years for leasehold improvements and 5 to 7 years for furniture and equipment. Normal expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when products are fully delivered or services have been provided and collection is reasonably assured.
Income Taxes
The Company uses an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. The difference between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities is determined annually. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for those differences that have future tax consequences using the currently enacted tax laws and rates that apply to the periods in which they are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, if necessary, to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that will more likely than not be realized. Income tax expense is the current tax payable or refundable for the period, plus or minus the net change in the deferred tax assets and liabilities.

AUGUST 31, 2010
NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Reclassifications
Certain accounts and financial statement captions in the prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period financial statements.
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of the Company is the United States Dollar. The financial statements of the Company’s Philippine operations are translated to U.S. dollars using the period exchange rates as to assets and liabilities and average exchange rates as to revenues and expenses. Capital accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transaction occurs. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange translations are included in the statements of operations and changes in stockholders’ equity as other comprehensive income (loss).
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue represents advances received on services to be rendered for the periods subsequent to August 31, 2010 and May 31, 2010. Deferred revenue was $6,797 and $0 as of August 31, 2010 and May 31, 2010, respectively.
Advertising Costs
The Company follows the policy of expensing advertising costs as they are incurred. Advertising expense for the three months ended August 31, 2010 and 2009 were $20,539 and $38,282, respectively.
Currency Hedging Transactions
The Company's operating expenses consist primarily of salaries, payroll taxes and employee benefit costs paid to the professionals that the Company employs in the Philippines. Since employee related costs are paid in the local currency, the Company is exposed to the risk of foreign currency fluctuations. In an effort to try to minimize the downside risk of fluctuating currency rates, the Company has entered into foreign exchange forward contracts from time to time. Any gains or losses from the settled and outstanding forward contracts are recorded as other income/expense in the statement of operations.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews its major assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If an asset is considered impaired, then impairment will be recognized in an amount determined by the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its fair value.
Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, investments in marketable securities, accounts receivable – trade and other, notes receivable, interest receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, loan payable – officer and deferred revenue. The carrying amounts of financial instruments are considered by management to be their estimated fair values due to their short-term maturities. Securities that are publicly traded are valued at their fair market value based as of the balance sheet date presented.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of 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.
Treasury Stock
Treasury stock purchases are accounted for under the cost method whereby the entire cost of the acquired stock is recorded as treasury stock. Gains and losses on the subsequent reissuance of shares are credited or charged to additional paid in capital using the average-cost method.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AUGUST 31, 2010
NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Basic Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic income per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income (loss) applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. There are no such common stock equivalents outstanding as of August 31, 2010.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation is accounted for at fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 123 and 123 (R) (ASC 718). To date, the Company has not adopted a stock option plan and has not granted any stock options. During the three months ended August 31, 2010, the Company issued 341,250 shares of common stock to employees. See note 9.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes,” “project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will cont inue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe-harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are including this statement for purposes of complying with those safe-harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse affect on our operations and future prospects on a consolidated basis include, but are not limited to: changes in economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, availability of capital, interest rates, competition, and generally accepted accounting principles. These risks and uncertainties should also be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Further information concerning our business, including additional factors that could materially affect our financial results, is included herein and in our other filings with the SEC.
Overview
We provide offshore business process outsourcing, or “BPO,” services which we deliver primarily to U.S.-based clients from our facilities in the Philippines. BPO services involves contracting with an external organization to take primary responsibility for providing a business process or function, such as customer management, transcription and captioning, processing services, human resources, procurement, logistics support, finance and accounting, engineering, facilities management, information technology and training. These customer care services and solutions are provided by our skilled customer service representatives to small and mid-sized companies in the healthcare, communication, business services, financial services, publishing, and travel and entertainment industries.
Results of Operations for the three months ended August 31, 2010
To become more profitable and competitive, we have to attract more clients, sell our services and generate more revenues.
Our revenue reported for the three months ended August 31, 2010 was $572,587, compared with $596,804 for the three months ended August 31, 2009. Our revenue generated for all periods was attributable to the sale of our BPO services. The slight decrease in revenues for the three months ended August 31, 2010 from the same periods in 2009 is attributable to some seasonality from our larger clients and no sales revenue from the ezforexhost.com project, which was sold during the year.
Returns and allowances are refunds for services not provided. Returns and allowances for the three months ended August 31, 2010 amounted to $5,934, compared with $5,111 for the same period ended August 31, 2009. We experienced more returns and allowances in the three months ended August 31, 2010 compared with the same period 2009 as a result of some infrastructure issues related to our current facility.
Our revenue less returns and allowances is our net revenue. Net revenue for the three months ended August 31, 2010 was $566,653, compared with $591,693 for the same period ended August 31, 2009.
Our operating expenses for the three months ended August 31, 2010 was $838,342, compared with $446,060 for the same period ended August 31, 2009. The increase in our operating expenses for the three months ended August 31, 2010 compared with August 31, 2009 is mainly attributable to an increase in wages and benefits in the amount of $457,915, offset by a decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses of $23,499 and a decrease in commissions in the amount of $30,842.
As demonstrated above and going forward, we anticipate higher costs related to the compensation of our new management team and the build out and migration to our new 550 seat operation center in the Cybergate building in Cebu, Philippines. The new management team’s stock-based compensation awards are scheduled to continue through the end of the calendar year, significantly increasing our salary and compensation expense in the near-term. In addition, our new facility should be open in early December 2010 and we anticipate higher costs as we migrate to the facility. We believe the new management team and larger, more modern facility will position us to pursue new business contracts that are much larger than the typical and traditionally smaller BPO contracts we now have. Consequently, we anticipate the increa sed expense associated with the management team and facility will impair our profitability in the near-term and mid-term, but we also anticipate significant improvement in both overall revenues and profits in the long-term as these new contracts are secured and ramp up.
We had other income of $5,806 for the three months ended August 31, 2010, compared with other income of $45,837 for the three months ended August 31, 2009. The decrease in other income is mainly attributable to gains on the sale of investments in the amount of $24,395 and gains from currency hedging contracts of $17,437 for the three months ended August 31, 2009 that were not realized at all in the three months ended August 31, 2010.
We had a net loss of $172,883 for the three months ended August 31, 2010, compared with net income of $127,470 for the three months ended August 31, 2009.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As at August 31, 2010, we had $1,686,642 in current assets and $212,244 in current liabilities. On August 31, 2010, we had working capital of $1,474,398.
Operating activities used $40,949 in cash for the three months ended August 31, 2010. Our net loss of $172,884, along with deferred tax asset of $93,000 and accrued expenses of $56,136 were the primary components of our negative operating cash flow, offset by mainly stock-based compensation of $225,111. Cash flows used by investing activities during the three months ended August 31, 2010 was $224,943 mainly as a result of $166,563 in the purchase of property and equipment and $50,000 in increases in a related party note receivable. We did not have any cash flows as a result of financing activities during the three months ended August 31, 2010.
Currently, our primary source of liquidity is cash flows provided by our operations. We will not require additional capital to execute our plan, unless we expand into additional facilities or grow through the acquisition of complementary businesses. Our current cash flows from operations are sufficient to meet our working capital requirements over the next 12 months.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of August 31, 2010, there were no off balance sheet arrangements.
A smaller reporting company is not required to provide the information required by this Item.
We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of August 31, 2010. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Christopher Johns. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of August 31, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended August 31, 2010.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls
Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving our objectives and our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance level. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the internal control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
We are not a party to any pending legal proceeding. We are not aware of any pending legal proceeding to which any of our officers, directors, or any beneficial holders of 5% or more of our voting securities are adverse to us or have a material interest adverse to us.
A smaller reporting company is not required to provide the information required by this Item.
