NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A. NATURE OF BUSINESS
Advanced Credit Technologies, Inc. (the “Company” or “ACT”) is a development stage company which has commenced operations . The Company was organized under the laws of the state of Nevada on February 25, 2008. We formed our Company for the purpose of offering an easyto- use technology platform that streamlines the credit management process. We also intend to offer additional e-books and Facebook applications for other financial products to compliment our system. We have launched our products and are generating minimal revenues. Our primary source of revenue initially will be generated business to business from the wholesale industry whereby third parties would pay us a monthly fee for access to our software which will be white labeled for them. This is intended to create brand loyalty by offering customers access to our credit management platform. Our retail portal and social media applications will take longer to generate revenue. Marketing to individual clients and individual end users requires more time and one to one communication.
With the ongoing problems in the overall economy ( unemployment at 7.8 % as of August 31st 2012 according to the Labor Dept. ) combined with tightening underwriting and credit criteria from those who lend monies to the public at large we are marketing a common sense solution to these problems. In October of 2012 the Company will be launching its phase II software platform as a solution to both business and consumers to assist them in understanding the credit ratings system, and offer these solutions at a very minimal cost to all parties concerned. Our current retail portal ( 700creditmd ) will be replaced by ( www.turnscor.com ) and our wholesale portal ( mycmtool ) will be replaced by ( www.turnscorpro.com ). These phase II portals not only have a new user interface but also increase brand awareness and name recognition. In addition to the new user interface we have upgraded the software to enhance the user experience and simplify the overall process. The Company is well aware that everyone ( business owners/consumers ) learns at a different pace, which is why our phase II has a complete “Training Center” to assist the wholesale/retail users of the various products to successfully navigate the software. We have developed a personalized e-book, a complete “video” series, and finally a “live” application demonstration of the software to empower success by all those that use the application.
Wholesale Application: The Company has developed ( www.turnscorpro.com ) to assist large, medium, and small businesses across the country to offer a solution to clients who want to purchase a product or service but cannot due to a sub par credit rating. Most business owners have no alternative but to let these clients leave without offering a solution. The Company developed (www.turnscorpro.com) to solve this problem. By “giving” away a complimentary software license they( company ) now have an opportunity to help not only the potential client, but to get referrals from that client. In addition to that, the software gives the company the ability to communicate with them via the portal ( www.turnscorpro.com ) and offer coaching solutions to keep them on task. The Company believes that based on the difficult economy that many businesses are losing sales everyday based on the poor credit ratings of the public at large, thus opening a small window for the wholesale market. From auto, independent insurance, real estate, to mortgage lending. These companies paying a small monthly license fee to access a “white label” software (The Company software that is a licensed opportunity option that can be branded on their company’s name) to offer “free” (software access) to the public at large is the cornerstone of our wholesale model. By educating the business owner about credit and its importance to the economy at large the Company believes it will have a positive impact and be in line with its mission statement.
8
Retail Application: The Company has developed ( www.turnscor.com ) to assist the average everyday consumer to understand the credit ratings system and the effects it has on their ability to access credit. The first thing that needed to be addressed was the regulatory framework that is the ( Fair Credit Reporting Act ) and how it affects a personal credit profile. The Company has provided links inside of the “Training Center” to all of the regulatory aspects of the (FCRA). The basic structure says that “creditors” and the 3 major reporting agencies ( Trans Union, Experian, and Equifax ) must provide a true and accurate picture of your personal credit profile, in essence, it must be 100% accurate and verifiable to stay posted in your file. This information is what determines your personal credit score ( FICO ), which determines your “cost of borrowing”. The Company software simply provides a narrative for the average consumer to understand, get access, and force the “creditors” and 3 major credit bureaus to update their credit file to reflect accurate, current data. All items that are outdated, erroneous, and not factual must be removed. Typically the FCRA allows for 30 days for this process to be completed. Once the consumer ( end user ) has access to the portal they can begin the process. The software provides the following: ( a personalized e-book, video tutorials, and a “live” demonstration of the actual software are provided to enhance the user experience ). The first step in the process is to “access” your personal credit profile, we provide links to ( www.annualcreditreport.com ) which is sponsored by the FTC and is free, as well as ( www.mycreditkeeper.com ) which is a fee based site but gives you a comprehensive view of your personal credit profile from all 3 repositories as well as your credit scores. Complete descriptions are provided in the “Training Center” as to a consumers options and benefits. Once the consumer has accessed a copy of his/her personal credit profile they will need to identify errors, outdated information, and erroneous items and then input them into the “system”. Once this is completed the auto selection mechanism will select items to submit to the repositories ( credit bureaus ) and create all of the documentation you will need to correct your personal credit profile. The “system” will send you automated reminders on a scheduled basis so that you follow the guidelines set forth in the FCRA. The auto selection mechanism developed into the software will allow the consumer to follow a specific schedule without having to “remember” a specific date, or procedure to be compliant with the FCRA. The Company believes that this is a highly beneficial feature and will be a great benefit to the end users ( consumers ). In addition to this feature, the “Training Center” has many additional features to assist the consumer. How to set up a “monthly budget”, FAQ's, Video Library Q&A, and a direct e-mail for customer support. All in an effort to empower the average consumer to get back on track financially, and becoming a positive productive part of his/her community. In conclusion, ( www.turnscor.com ) allows the average everyday consumer to understand the ( FCRA ) and follow specific steps to remove outdated, erroneous, and inaccurate items from his/her personal credit profiles. The Company believes that providing a simple, safe, secure software platform with a basic narrative so everyone can understand the process that it will have a positive impact on our society as a whole and provide a steady stream of income for the Company.
We maintain a sophisticated back office component that can be accessed by anyone with minimal computer experience. Clients will see how simple the ACT software program is to use especially when compared to traditional routes of credit management. We believe this will establish a brand loyalty to any additional products we will offer in the future.
B. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States of America generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required 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. Operating results for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012. The Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2011 was derived from the audited financial statements as of such date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP. For further information, refer to the Financial Statements and footnotes thereto included in our Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011.
9
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Those estimates and assumptions include estimates for reserves of uncollectible accounts, accruals for potential liabilities and assumptions made in valuing stock instruments issued for services.
C. GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company had a net loss of $137,361.00. On September 30, 2012, the Company had a working capital $3,155.00 and a stockholders’ deficiency of $531,399.00. The Company believes its cash and forecasted cash flow from operations will not be sufficient to continue operations through fiscal 2012 without continued external investment. The Company will require additional funds to continue its operations through fiscal 2012 and to continue to develop its existing projects and plans to raise such funds by finding additional investors to purchase the Company’s securities, generating sufficient sales revenue, implementing dramatic cost reductions or any combination thereof. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising such funds, generating the necessary sales or reducing major costs. Further, if the Company is successful in raising such funds from sales of equity securities, the terms of these sales may cause significant dilution to existing holders of common stock. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from this uncertainty.
D. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Net Loss per Common Share:
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 the calculations of basic loss per share were (.006) and ( .005) for September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs”. ASU No. 2011-4 does not require additional fair value measurements and is not intended to establish valuation standards or affect valuation practices outside of financial reporting. The ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company will adopt the ASU as required. The ASU will affect the Company’s fair value disclosures, but will not affect the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income”. The ASU eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity, and instead requires consecutive presentation of the statement of net income and other comprehensive income either in a continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU No. 2011-5 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company will adopt the ASU as required. It will have no affect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, “Testing Goodwill for Impairment”, an update to existing guidance on the assessment of goodwill impairment. This update simplifies the assessment of goodwill for impairment by allowing companies to consider qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount before performing the two step impairment review process. It also amends the examples of events or circumstances that would be considered in a goodwill impairment evaluation. The amendments are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the affects adoption of ASU 2011-08 may have on its goodwill impairment testing.
10
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the Securities Exchange Commission (the "SEC") did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements.
The Company has incurred debt during of $37,000.00 this accounting period derived from the officers and stockholder of the company in the form of a short term note of $25,000.00 for one year at a five percent interest rate and a $12,000.00 note to be converted to 25,000 shares of stock.
Our named executive officers did receive 2,000,000 shares of common stock on June 30, 2012 for services rendered during the previous years valued at .001 Cents per share or $2,000.00. There are no stock transactions issued for the 3rd quarter of 2012 as compensation for services.
G. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

ACT’s officers and directors have not been convicted in any criminal proceedings nor has they been permanently or temporarily enjoined, barred, suspended or otherwise limited from involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities.
The Company’s officers and directors have not been convicted of violating any federal or state securities or commodities law.
There are no known pending legal or administrative proceedings against the Company.

ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
As of September 30, 2012, the Company reported an increase in revenues compared to the period ended September 30, 2011. The Company has experienced an increase in business. We further expect our business to grow as corporate profits increase based on the fact that many businesses’ profits are advertising driven.
To date, the Company has successfully implemented its business plan and is attempting to secure additional funding to continue the expansion process. Management believes there is a current trend for increased advertising and web development related services based upon recent increased corporate profits. Most businesses rely on advertising of some sort to increase their respective revenue models. Web development and on-line marketing services are the Company’s primary sources of revenue and management expects these numbers to increase as economic growth increases.
The Company’s ability to expand operations is somewhat dependent upon capital to hire additional sales representatives without additional capital. If Company does not produce sufficient cash flow to support its operations over the next 12 months, the Company will need to raise additional capital by issuing capital stock in exchange for cash in order to continue as a going concern. There are no formal or informal agreements to attain such financing. The Company cannot assure any investor that, if needed, sufficient financing can be obtained or, if obtained, that it will be on reasonable terms.
Advanced Credit Technologies management may incur software development costs within the next 12 months.
Advanced Credit Technologies currently does not own any significant plant or equipment that it would seek to sell in the near future.
Advanced Credit Technologies management anticipates hiring employees or independent contractors over the next 12 months as the company expands. Currently, the Company believes the services provided by its officers and directors appear sufficient at this time.
The Company has no plans to seek a business combination with another entity in the foreseeable future, however, may entertain strategic acquisitions in the marketing and advertising sector which complements its business plan.
Operational Expenses
The operational expenses had an increase from $97,338 for third quarter totals of fiscal year of 2011 to $146,484.00 for the third quarter of fiscal year of 2012. This increase was due to increase in legal filing fees of professional services and officer’s compensation and computer and internet costs. Travel, rent, office supplies, research and development costs where similar in amount as compared to the two 3rd quarter fiscal periods.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We believe we need to raise additional capital to supplement our business expansions. The Company’s minimum capital requirements for the next twelve (12) months is $250,000. With current revenues, the Company is able to continue business operations and with $250,000, the Company will be able to implement its expansion model. An additional estimated $15,000 will be required to meet the reporting requirements of the Company. Any funding received over and above the estimated $250,000 in reporting requirements will accelerate the implementation of our expansion primarily by enabling us to hire additional sales representatives and to pay marketing and software development costs. The Company plans to raise these funds through either debt or equity financing.
12
Impact of Inflation
We believe that the rate of inflation has had negligible effect on us. We believe we can absorb most, if not all, increased non-controlled operating costs by operating our Company in the most efficient manner possible.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The following table sets forth our liquidity and capital resources as of September 30, 2012:
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 3,155 | ||
Total assets | 3,155 | |||
Total liabilities | 37,000 | |||
Total shareholders’ (deficit) | -33,845 |

Net cash provided by financing activities for the period January1, 2012 through September 30, 2012 was $80,000, which relates to the sale of shares of common stock to shareholders in private transactions exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 504 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and additional debt in the form of an officers loan of $37,000.00
Intangible Assets

Material Commitments
There were no material commitments for the period January 1, 2012 through September 30, 2012.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

13
Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our financial statements. In general, management's estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.
In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs”. ASU No. 2011-4 does not require additional fair value measurements and is not intended to establish valuation standards or affect valuation practices outside of financial reporting. The ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company will adopt the ASU as required. The ASU will affect the Company’s fair value disclosures, but will not affect the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income”. The ASU eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity, and instead requires consecutive presentation of the statement of net income and other comprehensive income either in a continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU No. 2011-5 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company will adopt the ASU as required. It will have no affect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, “Testing Goodwill for Impairment”, an update to existing guidance on the assessment of goodwill impairment. This update simplifies the assessment of goodwill for impairment by allowing companies to consider qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount before performing the two step impairment review process. It also amends the examples of events or circumstances that would be considered in a goodwill impairment evaluation. The amendments are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the affects adoption of ASU 2011-08 may have on its goodwill impairment testing. Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the Securities Exchange Commission (the "SEC") did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements.
