UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20549 ____________________________________________________________ FORM 8-K CURRENT REPORT Pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ____________________________________________________________ Date of report (Date of earliest event reported): August 16, 2005 DEBT RESOLVE, INC. (Exact Name of Registrant as Specified in Charter) Delaware 33-0889197 (State or other jurisdiction (IRS Employer of incorporation) Identification No.) 0-29525 (Commission File Number) 707 Westchester Avenue, Suite L7 White Plains, New York 10604 (Address of principal executive offices) Registrant's telephone number, including area code: (914) 949-5500 Check the appropriate box below if the Form 8-K filing is intended to simultaneously satisfy the filing obligation of the registrant under any of the following provisions: [ ] Written communications pursuant to Rule 425 under the Securities Act (17 CFR 230.425) [ ] Soliciting material pursuant to Rule 14a-12 under the Exchange Act (17 DFR 240.14a-12) [ ] Pre-commencement communications pursuant to Rule 14d-2(b) under the Exchange Act (17 CFR 240.14d-2(b)) [ ] Pre-commencement communications pursuant to Rule 13e-4 (c) under the Exchange Act (17 CFR 240.13e-4(c)) ITEM 4.02. NON-RELIANCE ON PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OR A RELATED AUDIT REPORT OR COMPLETED INTERIM REVIEW. Debt Resolve, Inc., ("the Company") and its audit committee concluded on August 16, 2005 that Debt Resolve will restate previously issued financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2004, and the quarter ended March 31, 2005. The restatement adjustments are needed primarily to correct Debt Resolve's historical accounting for stock-based compensation to consultants and advisory board members in the three accounting periods, as well as to revise an entry charging offering expenses to additional paid-in capital during the quarter ended March 31, 2005. In conjunction with the re-audit of Debt Resolve's financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2004 and a review of the quarter ended March 31, 2005 by Marcum & Kliegman, LLP, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm as of June 20, 2005, Debt Resolve determined that adjustments were necessary to recognize the cumulative impact of correcting its computation for stock-based compensation to consultants and advisory board members. Specifically, it was determined that Debt Resolve should have recorded an expense for stock-based compensation to consultants and advisory board members during those accounting periods. The Company had disclosed these costs on a pro forma basis, only. Based on the revision of its method of accounting for stock-based compensation to these persons, Debt Resolve will restate the periods impacted by these adjustments. As a result of the restatement adjustments, Debt Resolve's previously issued consolidated financial statements, including those contained in the following filings, should no longer be relied upon: Annual Reports on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2004; and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-QSB for the quarters ended March 31, 2003, June 30, 2003, September 30, 2003, March 31, 2004, June 30, 2004, September 30, 2004 and March 31, 2005. While the Company's Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 will reflect the necessary adjustments for the period then ended, the Company has filed a Form 12b-25 with the SEC providing for an extension of time to file its Form 10-QSB. The restatement adjustments related to computation for stock-based compensation to consultants and advisory board members are anticipated to increase net loss by $31,756 for the year ended December 31, 2004 and increase net loss by $109,491 for the year ended December 31, 2003. In addition, these adjustments and the described adjustment to an entry recording offering expenses are anticipated to increase net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 by $97,136. Pursuant to this Item 4.02, the Company's management and audit committee have discussed the matters disclosed in this Form 8-K with the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, Marcum & Kliegman LLP. The discussion of the Company's revised financial results contained in this Form 8-K has been prepared by management and represents management's preliminary assessment of the revised results. These results are subject to change as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm completes its review. SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
