NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2009
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and Line of Business
- ---------------------------------
Prepaid Card Holdings, Inc. formerly Berman Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") was
incorporated under the name Nately National Corporation in the state of Nevada
on October 8, 1986 and then changed its name National Health Care Alliance, Inc.
The Company was dormant until October 11, 2007 when the Company acquired Berman
Marketing Group, a wholly owned subsidiary as its operating business. In October
2007 the name was changed from National Health Care Alliance, Inc. to Berman
Holdings, Inc. In March of 2008 the Company acquired Merchant Processing
International, from a related party, and it became a wholly owned subsidiary. In
May of 2008 the Company changed its name to Prepaid Card Holdings, Inc. The
company trades under the symbol PPDC on the pink sheets.
The Company is in the prepaid general use debit, ATM, POS and signature based
card market. The Company's primary target audience is the non banked and
underserved individuals in the country.
Basis of Presentation/Going Concern
- -----------------------------------
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The
Company has incurred losses and has a negative equity. These conditions raise
substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that
might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. These consolidated financial
statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and
classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of
liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as
a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been
prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States.
Principles of Consolidation
- ---------------------------
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its wholly owned subsidiaries Berman Marketing Group, Inc and Merchant
Processing International. All material inter-company balances and transactions
have been eliminated on consolidation. The acquisition of Merchant Processing
International has been accounted for as a transfer of assets under common
control, and accordingly is accounted for in all periods presented.
Stock Based Compensation
- ------------------------
SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," establishes and
encourages the use of the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based
compensation arrangements under which compensation cost is determined using the
fair value of stock-based compensation
F-7
determined as of the date of grant and is recognized over the periods in which
the related services are rendered. For stock based compensation the Company
recognizes an expense in accordance with SFAS No. 123 and values the equity
securities based on the fair value of the security on the date of grant. For
stock-based awards the value is based on the market value for the stock on the
date of grant. Stock option awards are valued using the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model.
During the periods presented, no shares for services were realized.
Use of Estimates
- ----------------
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during
the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
- -----------------------------------
For certain of the Company's financial instruments, including cash and cash
equivalents, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued interest and due to
related party, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short
maturities.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
- -------------------------
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company defines cash
equivalents as all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of
three months or less, plus all certificates of deposit.
Concentration of Credit Risk
- ----------------------------
Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations
of credit risk, consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivables.
The Company places its cash with high quality financial institutions and at
times may exceed the FDIC $250,000 insurance limit. The Company extends credit
based on an evaluation of the customer's financial condition, generally without
collateral. Exposure to losses on receivables is principally dependent on each
customer's financial condition. The Company monitors its exposure for credit
losses and maintains allowances for anticipated losses, as required.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
- -------------------------------
SFAS No. 144 requires that long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale,
including those of discontinued operations, be measured at the lower of carrying
amount or fair value less cost to sell, whether reported in continuing
operations or in discontinued operations. SFAS No. 144 broadens the reporting
of discontinued operations to include all components of an entity with
F-8
operations that can be distinguished from the rest of the entity and that will
be eliminated from the ongoing operations of the entity in a disposal
transaction. SFAS No. 144 also establishes a "primary-asset" approach to
determine the cash flow estimation period for a group of assets and liabilities
that represents the unit of accounting for a long-lived asset to be held and
used.
Revenue Recognition
- -------------------
The company recognizes revenue both from merchant processing costs and activity
charges for card usage. These fees are transactionally based and recorded at the
time of occurrence.
For the merchant processing services, the company receives revenues in the form
of commissions paid resulting from a percentage of credit card volume for the
retailers engaged. This revenue is recognized on a monthly basis under the
accrual basis of accounting.
For the Bank Freedom prepaid cards operations, we derive revenues through fees
charged to the cardholders. Those sources may include:
- - Interchange
- - Bill pay fees
- - Domestic and International ATM transaction fees
- - Debit purchase and PIN decline fees
- - Monthly maintenance fees
These fees are debited on the card and recognized as revenue immediately.
Income Taxes
- ------------
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes." Deferred taxes are provided on the liability
method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary
differences, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary
differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are
reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more
likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be
realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of
changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
- -------------------------
The Company reports earnings (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128,
"Earnings per Share." Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing
income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of
common shares available. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar
to basic earnings (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to
include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding
if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common
shares were dilutive. Diluted earnings (loss) per share has not been presented
since the effect of
F-9
the assumed conversion of options and warrants to purchase common shares would
have an anti-dilutive effect.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
- -----------------------------------------
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations (FAS
141(R)). This Statement provides greater consistency in the accounting and
financial reporting of business combinations. It requires the acquiring entity
in a business combination to recognize all assets acquired and liabilities
assumed in the transaction, establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the
measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and
requires the acquirer to disclose the nature and financial effect of the
business combination. FAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008. We will adopt FAS 141(R) no later than the first quarter of
fiscal 2009 and are currently assessing the impact the adoption will have on our
financial position and results of operations.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160. Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements (FAS 160). This Statement amends Accounting
Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, to establish
accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a
subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. FAS 160 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We adopted FAS 160 in the first
quarter of fiscal 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 160 had no effect on our
financial position and results of operations.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which permits entities to choose to
measure at fair value eligible financial instruments and certain other items
that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. The standard
requires that unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value
option has been elected be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting
date. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15,
2007. We adopted SFAS No. 159 in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The adoption
of SFAS No. 159 had no effect on our financial position and results of
operations.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers' Accounting for
Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB
Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R). SFAS No. 158 requires company plan
sponsors to display the net over- or under-funded position of a defined benefit
postretirement plan as an asset or liability, with any unrecognized prior
service costs, transition obligations or actuarial gains/losses reported as a
component of other comprehensive income in shareholders' equity. SFAS No. 158
is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006. We adopted the
recognition provisions of SFAS No. 158 as of the end of fiscal 2007. The
adoption of SFAS No. 158 did not have an effect on the Company's financial
position or results of operations.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS
No. 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted
accounting principles, clarifies the definition of fair value and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new
fair value measurements. However, the application of
F-10
SFAS No. 157 may change current practice for some entities. SFAS No. 157 is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted
SFAS No. 157 in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. There was no impact with the
adoption of SFAS No. 157 on our financial position and results of operations.
In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty
in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). This
interpretation clarifies the application of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income
Taxes, by defining a criterion that an individual tax position must meet for any
part of the benefit of that position to be recognized in an enterprise's
financial statements and also provides guidance on measurement, derecognition,
classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods,
disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2006, but earlier adoption is permitted. We adopted FIN 48
effective first quarter of fiscal 2007. There was no impact on our financial
position and results of operations upon the adoption of FIN 48.
NOTE 2 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company issued 22,500,000 shares of stock, for the acquisition of Merchant
Processing International, an entity who was owned by the majority stockholder of
the Company.
The company owes on a note to a related party, its President $664,229 with
interest at 5% due over 48 months starting July 1, 2008. On January 1, 2009 the
interest rate was adjusted to 3.25%. Accrued interest payable amounted to
$8,165 at March 31, 2009.
The company owes its President $10,000 for accrued salary expense at March 31,
2009. In 2009 the Company's president reduced his salary approximately 70%
commencing February 1, 2009.
The Company was obligated under a sub-lease arrangement with Berman Investment
Group, a related party for hardware and software which expired in November 2008.
Monthly terms approximate $1,800 a month. There were no expenses incurred during
the period.
The Company also sub-leased its rental space from Berman Investment Group until
December 31, 2008, an entity owned by a related party, for approximately $3,500
per month. During the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, $0 and
$23,924 was incurred respectively and shown as related party expenses in the
profit and loss statement.
The Company has also engaged Berman Investment Group (BIG) as a consultant. The
Company is also required to reimburse BIG for costs incurred, however BIG has
not incurred any costs resulting from the consulting agreement and is currently
not seeking reimbursement.
NOTE 3 - BUSINESS COMBINATION
The Company has accounted for the acquisition of Merchant Processing, Inc. as a
business combination under common control on the amount paid for Merchant
Processing International in excess of its book value. The Company issued
22,500,000 shares of stock, valued at par, due to
F-11
the related party interest, of $22,500 and incurred a note payable for $750,000,
the total of which was $772,500. This amount exceeded the book value by $732,348
which was charged against additional paid in capital.
NOTE 4 - ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
The Company has accounts receivable from Banks on the amounts transacted for the
previous month, consisting of processing fees and charges.
NOTE 5 - FIXED ASSETS
Furniture and Fixtures $ 8,648
Computers 3,682
--------
Total 12,330
Accumulated Depreciation (8,177)
Net Fixed Assets $ 4,177
Depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 was $243
and $343 respectively.
NOTE 6 - NOTES PAYABLE
Related Party
- --------------
The Company is indebted to its main shareholder for the purchase of the
subsidiary for $664,229 payable over 41 months with interest at 3.25%. There
was accrued interest at March 31, 2009 of $8,165. The interest expense is also
included in the general and administrative expenses in the statement of
operations. Effective January 1, 2009, the interest rate was reduced from 5% to
3.25%.
Other
- -----
The Company is indebted to a previous vendor for the purchase of marketing
services for $173,259 payable over 34 months with interest at 4.00%.
The Company is indebted to a vendor for the purchase of marketing services for
$52,769 payable over 12 months with interest at 4.00%.
NOTE 7 - COMMON STOCK TRANSACTIONS
During the first quarter 2008 the Company issued 33,000,000 shares of stock,
22,500,000 shares for the purchase of the subsidiary and the balance of
10,500,000 shares for $500,000 cash. Also during the quarter subscription
receivables of $114,163 were collected.
F-12
There were no stock transactions during the first quarter of 2009.
NOTE 8 - INCOME TAXES
Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with SFAS 109, Accounting for
Income Taxes, using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets
and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax credit carry forwards.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the year in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax
assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the
period that includes the enactment date.
The Company has a net loss carry forward equal to approximately $700,000. The
deferred tax asset related to this carry forward has been reserved in full based
upon the weight of available evidence, that it is more likely than not that the
deferred tax assets will not be realized.
NOTE 9 - CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
In 2009 the Company received notice of a lawsuit alleging breach of a
contractual relationship involving shares of stock for services. The Company is
diligently defending this lawsuit and feels there is no merit to its action and
even in the event of an adverse outcome such outcome would not have a material
effect on the business.
NOTE 10 -SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
None.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS: STATEMENTS ABOUT OUR FUTURE EXPECTATIONS ARE
"FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS" AND ARE NOT GUARANTEES OF FUTURE PERFORMANCE. WHEN
USED HEREIN, THE WORDS "MAY," "WILL," "SHOULD," "ANTICIPATE," "BELIEVE,"
"APPEAR," "INTEND," "PLAN," "EXPECT," "ESTIMATE," "APPROXIMATE," AND SIMILAR
EXPRESSIONS ARE INTENDED TO IDENTIFY SUCH FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. THESE
STATEMENTS INVOLVE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES INHERENT IN OUR BUSINESS, INCLUDING
THOSE SET FORTH UNDER THE CAPTION "RISK FACTORS," IN THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT,
AND ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE AT ANY TIME. OUR ACTUAL RESULTS COULD DIFFER
MATERIALLY FROM THESE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. WE UNDERTAKE NO OBLIGATION TO
UPDATE PUBLICLY ANY FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENT.
This Management's Discussion and Analysis and Plan of Operation should be read
in conjunction with the financial statements included in this Report (the
"Financial Statements)
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting policies in the United States ("GAAP"). Except as otherwise
disclosed, all dollar figures included therein and in the following management
discussion and analysis ("MD&A") are quoted in United States dollars.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our liquidity requirements arise principally from our working capital needs,
including the cost of goods and marketing costs. Although in the future we
intend to fund our liquidity requirements through a combination of cash on hand
and revenues from operations, for the three months ended March 31, 2009, the
Company had incurred $516,037 in expenses and had realized only $517,709 in
revenues.
Accordingly, our ability to initiate our plan of operations and continue as a
going concern is currently dependent on our ability to raise external capital.
We have raised $350,000 on the issuance of three convertible notes. We believe
that it will be very difficult to obtain any form of debt financing without
equity conversion terms due to our current lack of revenues from operations and
the current state of our balance sheet, including a lack of hard assets against
which to borrow. Accordingly, we are focusing on obtaining equity financing.
However, with the economic turmoil in the finical markets today we are concerned
about the ability to raise any capital at all
From November, 2007, through September, 2008, the Company raised approximately
$2,164,237 in three private offerings, before costs. In addition, we may be
required to seek additional funding.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended March 31, 2009
- --------------------------------------
Revenues
During the three months ended March 31, 2009, merchant processing services
realized revenues of $108,838 and the Bank Freedom prepaid card realized
revenues of $408,871 for a total of $517,709. This represents an increase of
1800% or $490,449 from $27,260 for the same period
Page 14
last year. The increase is primarily the result of no prepaid card operations
in the first quarter of 2008. Merchant processing revenues are generated in the
form of commissions paid as a percentage of credit card volume for the retailers
engaged, while the prepaid card business model earns revenues through
interchange and service fees after issuance of the cards.
Cost of Sales
During the three months ended March 31, 2009, we incurred $143,507 in costs
directly attributed to our sales. This represents a total increase of $143,507
over $0 realized in the same period last year. The increase is due to the
operations of the prepaid card business had not commenced in the first quarter
of 2008. Cost of Sales includes, bank and Mastercard Association fees, merchant
processing fees, and fulfillment costs.

representatives for investor referrals. This represents a decrease of 27% or
$34,236 from $124,907 realized in the same period last year, as the company
required more professional services during development stage this period last
year.

supplies and expense, payroll expenses, investor referral fees and other
miscellaneous expenses. This represents a 42% or $161,873 decrease from
$384,159 realized in the same period in 2008. 2009 is the result of the company
significantly leaning out its operations.
Related Party Expense - Rent - Consists of office space rental. This represents
a total decrease of $23,924 from $23,924 to $0 realized from the same period in
