2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES:
|
Estimates – The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities and 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.
|
|
Revenue Recognition –
The Company charges fees to its customers in one of two ways as
follows:
|
1)
|
Fixed
Transaction Fee. Fixed transaction fees are a fixed percentage of
the purchased invoice. This percentage does not change from the
date the purchased invoice is funded until the date the purchased invoice
is collected.
|
2)
|
Variable
Transaction Fee. Variable transaction fees are variable
based on the length of time the purchased invoice is
outstanding. As specified in its contract with the
client, the Company charges variable increasing percentages of the
purchased invoice as time elapses from the purchase date to the collection
date.
|
|
For
both Fixed and Variable Transaction fees, the Company recognizes revenue
by using one of two methods depending on the type of
customer. For new customers the Company recognizes revenue
using the cost recovery method. For established customers the
Company recognizes revenue using the accrual
method.
|
|
Under
the cost recovery method, all revenue is recognized upon collection of the
entire amount of purchased accounts
receivable.
|
|
The
Company considers new customers to be accounts whose initial funding has
been within the last three months or less. Management believes
it needs three months of history to reasonably estimate a customer’s
collection period and accrued revenues. If three months of
history has a limited number of transactions, the cost recovery method
will continue to be used until a reasonable revenue estimate can be made
based on additional history. Once the Company obtains
sufficient historical experience, it will begin using the accrual method
to recognize revenue.
|
|
For
established customers the Company uses the accrual method of
accounting. The Company applies this method by multiplying the
historical yield, for each customer, times the amount advanced on each
purchased invoice outstanding for that customer, times the portion of a
year that the advance is outstanding. The customers’ historical
yield is based on the Company’s last six months of experience with the
customer along with the Company’s experience in the customer’s industry,
if applicable.
|
|
The
amounts recorded as revenue under the accrual method described above are
estimates. As purchased invoices are collected, the Company
records the appropriate adjustments to record the actual revenue earned on
each purchased invoice. These adjustments from the estimated revenue to
the actual revenue have not been
material.
|
9
|
Retained Interest in Purchased
Accounts Receivable – Retained interest in purchased accounts
receivable represents the gross amount of invoices purchased from
factoring customers less amounts maintained in a reserve account and
collected but unearned fee income, plus earned but uncollected fee
income. The Company purchases a customer’s accounts receivable
and advances them a percentage of the invoice total. The
difference between the purchase price and amount advanced is maintained in
a reserve account. The reserve account is used to offset any
potential losses the Company may have related to the purchased accounts
receivable.
|
The
Company’s factoring and security agreements with their customers include various
recourse provisions requiring the customers to repurchase accounts receivable if
certain conditions, as defined in the factoring and security agreement, are
met.
Senior
management reviews the status of uncollected purchased accounts receivable
monthly to determine if any are uncollectible. The Company has a
security interest in the accounts receivable purchased and on a case-by-case
basis, may have additional collateral. The Company files security
interests in the property securing their advances. Access to this
collateral is dependent upon the laws and regulations in each state where the
security interest is filed. Additionally, the Company has varying
types of personal guarantees from their factoring customers relating to the
purchased accounts receivable.
Management
considered approximately $36,000 and $31,000 of their September 30, 2008 and
December 31, 2007 retained interest in purchased accounts receivable to be
uncollectible.
Management
believes the fair value of the retained interest in purchased accounts
receivable approximates its recorded value because of the relatively short term
nature of the purchased receivable and the fact that the majority of these
invoices have been subsequently collected.
|
Property and Equipment –
Property and equipment, consisting primarily of furniture and fixtures,
computers and software, are stated at cost. Depreciation is
provided over the estimated useful lives of the depreciable assets using
the straight-line method.
|
|
Advertising Costs – The
Company charges advertising costs to expense as incurred. Total
advertising costs were as follows:

|
Earnings per Share – The
Company computes earnings per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128
“Earnings Per Share.” Basic earnings per share is computed by
dividing the earnings for the period by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive earnings
per share includes the potential impact of dilutive securities, such as
convertible preferred stock, stock options and stock
warrants. The dilutive effect of stock options and warrants is
computed using the treasury stock method, which assumes the repurchase of
common shares at the average market
price.
|
In
accordance with SFAS No. 128, options and warrants will have a dilutive effect,
under the treasury method, only when the average price of common stock during
the period exceeds the exercise price of the options or warrants. During the
period under review, the average price of common stock was less than the
exercise price of the options and warrants.
Also in
accordance with SFAS No. 128, if there is a year-to-date loss from continuing
operations, potential common shares should not be included in the computation of
diluted earnings per share. During the period under review, there was a
year-to-date loss.
|
Stock Based Compensation
- In
December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 123(R),
“Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” SFAS No. 123(R) establishes
standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges
its equity instruments for goods or services. This statement focuses
primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains
employee services in share-based payment transactions. SFAS No. 123(R)
requires that the fair value of such equity instruments be recognized as
an expense in the historical financial statements as services are
performed. Prior to SFAS No. 123(R), only certain pro forma disclosures of
fair value were required. The provisions of this statement were effective
for the first interim reporting period that began after December 15, 2005.
The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No.123(R) in the first quarter
of fiscal 2006.
|
|
See
Note 8 for the SFAS No. 123(R) impact on the operating results for the
nine months ended September 30, 2008 and
2007.
|
|
Fair Value of Financial
Instruments – The carrying value of cash equivalents, retained
interest in purchased accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued
liabilities approximates their fair
value.
|
|
Cash and cash equivalents
– Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of highly liquid cash
investment funds with original maturities of three months or less when
acquired.
|
|
Income Taxes – Effective
January 31, 2007, the Company became a “C” corporation for income tax
purposes. In a “C” corporation income taxes are provided for
the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements plus
deferred income taxes related to the differences between financial
statement and taxable income.
|
|
The
primary differences between financial statement and taxable income for the
Company are as follows:
|
·
|
Compensation
costs related to the issuance of stock
options
|
·
|
Use
of the reserve method of accounting for bad
debts
|
·
|
Differences
in bases of property and equipment between financial and income tax
reporting
|
·
|
Net
operating loss carryforwards.
|
11
The
deferred tax asset represents the future tax return consequences of utilizing
these items. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation
reserve, when management is uncertain if the net deferred tax assets will ever
be realized.
Prior to
January 31, 2007, Anchor Funding Services,
LLC was treated as a partnership for Federal and state income tax
purposes. Its earnings and losses were included in the personal tax
returns of its members; therefore, no provision or benefit from income taxes has
been included in those financial statements.
In July
2006, FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes—an interpretation of SFAS No. 109” (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the
accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. This Interpretation
requires that the Company recognize in its consolidated financial statements,
the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being
sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the
position. The provisions of FIN 48 became effective for the Company
on January 1, 2007.
The
Company applied FIN 48 to all its tax positions, including tax positions taken
and those expected to be taken, under the transition provision of the
interpretation. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the
Company recognized no increases or decreases in its recorded tax liabilities or
2006 retained earnings.
For the
nine months and quarters ending September 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company
recognized no liability for uncertain tax positions.
The
Company classifies interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits with interest
expense. Penalties accrued on unrecognized tax benefits are
classified with operating expenses.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements –
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.”
SFAS 157 provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and
liabilities. It clarifies the principle that fair value should be
based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or
liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the
information used to develop those assumptions. SFAS 157 is effective
for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of
SFAS 157 does not currently have a material impact on the Company’s financial
condition and results of operations.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment of FASB Statement No.
115.” SFAS 159 provides companies with an option to report
selected financial assets and liabilities at estimated fair
value. Most of the provisions of SFAS No. 159 are elective; however,
the amendment to SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments
in Debt and Equity Securities, applies to all entities that own trading
and available-for-sale securities. The fair value option created by
SFAS No. 159 permits an entity to measure eligible items at fair value as of
specified election dates. The fair value option (a) may generally be
applied instrument by instrument, (b) is irrevocable unless a new election date
occurs, and must be applied to the entire instrument and not to only a portion
of the instrument.
SFAS No.
159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year beginning
after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the
beginning of the previous fiscal year provided that the entity makes that choice
in the first 120 days of the fiscal year, has not yet issued financial
statements for any interim period of such year, and also elects to apply the
provisions of SFAS No. 159. The adoption of SFAS 159 does not
currently have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition and
results of operations.
On
December 4, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141(R) “Business
Combinations”. SFAS 141R modifies the accounting for business
combinations and requires, with limited exceptions, the acquiring entity in a
business combination to recognize 100 percent of the assets acquired,
liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at the
acquisition date fair value. In addition, SFAS 141R limits the
recognition of acquisition-related restructuring liabilities and requires the
following: the expense of acquisition-related and restructuring costs and the
acquirer to record contingent consideration measured at the acquisition date at
fair value. SFAS 141R is effective for new acquisitions consummated
on or after January 1, 2009. Early adoption is not
permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this
standard.
On
December 4, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements” (SFAS 160). SFAS 160 requires all
entities to report noncontrolling (i.e. minority interests) in subsidiaries as
equity in the Consolidated Financial Statements and to account for transactions
between an entity and noncontrolling owners as equity transactions if the parent
retains its controlling financial interest in the subsidiary. SFAS
160 also requires expanded disclosure that distinguishes between the interests
of a parent’s owners and the interests of a noncontrolling owners of a
subsidiary. SFAS 160 is effective for the Company’s financial
statements for the year beginning January 1, 2009 and early adoption is not
permitted. The adoption of SFAS 160 is not expected to have a
material impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of
operations.

5. CAPITAL
STRUCTURE:
|
The
Company’s capital structure consists of preferred and common stock as
described below:
|
|
Preferred Stock – The
Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of $.001 par value
preferred stock. The Company’s Board of Directors determines
the rights and preferences of its preferred
stock.
|
|
On
January 31, 2007, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation with the
Secretary of State of Delaware. Effective with this filing,
2,000,000 preferred shares became Series 1 Convertible Preferred
Stock. Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock will rank senior to
Common Stock.
|
|
Each
Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into 5 shares of the
Company’s Common Stock. The holder of the Series 1 Convertible
Preferred Stock has the option to convert the shares to Common Stock at
any time. Upon conversion all accumulated and unpaid dividends
will be paid as additional shares of Common
Stock.
|
|
The
dividend rate on Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock is
8%. Dividends are paid annually on December 31st in the form of
additional Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock unless the Board of
Directors approves a cash dividend. Dividends on Series 1
Convertible Preferred Stock shall cease to accrue on the earlier of
December 31, 2009, or on the date they are converted to Common
Shares. Thereafter, the holders of Series 1 Convertible
Preferred Stock have the same dividend rights as holders of Common Stock,
as if the Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock had been converted to
Common Stock. Accrued dividends at September 30, 2008 and
December 31, 2007 were $380,306 and
$405,995.
|
|
Common Stock – The
Company is authorized to issue 40,000,000 shares of $.001 par value Common
Stock. Each share of Common Stock entitles the holder to one
vote at all stockholder meetings. Dividends on Common Stock
will be determined annually by the Company’s Board of
Directors.

2007 was approximately $921,000 and $474,000, respectively. The
deferred tax assets related to these net operating loss carryforwards was
approximately $313,000 and $161,000 at September 30, 2008 and 2007,
respectively. These deferred tax assets have been reduced by
valuation allowances. Management is uncertain if these net
operating losses will ever be utilized, therefore they have been fully
reserved at September 30, 2008 and reserved at 88% for the period ending
September 30, 2007.

MANAGEMENT'S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
|

plan of operation together with our consolidated financial statements and the
related notes appearing at the end of our Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2007. Some of the information contained in this discussion and
analysis or set forth elsewhere in this form 10-Q, including information with
respect to our plans and strategy for our business and related financing,
includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You
should review the “Risk Factors” section of our Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2007 for a discussion of important factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by
the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and
analysis.
This Form
10-Q contains forward-looking statements. These statements relate to our
expectations for future events and future financial performance.
Generally, the words “anticipate,” “expect,” “intend” and similar expressions
identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve
risks and uncertainties, and future events and circumstances could differ
significantly from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements.
These statements are only predictions. Actual events or results may differ

Executive
Overview
Our
business objective is to create a well-recognized, national financial services
firm for small businesses providing accounts receivable funding (factoring),
outsourcing of accounts receivable management including collections and the risk
of customer default. For certain service businesses, Anchor also provides back
office support including payroll, payroll tax compliance and invoice processing
services. We provide our services to clients nationwide and may expand our
services internationally in the future. We plan to achieve our growth objectives
as described below through a combination of strategic and add-on acquisitions of
other factoring and related specialty finance firms that serve small businesses
in the United States and Canada and internal growth through mass media marketing
initiatives. Our principal operations are located in Charlotte, North Carolina
and we maintain an executive office in Boca Raton, Florida which includes
its sales and marketing functions.
Summary
of Critical Accounting Policies
Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
discusses our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The
preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting
period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and
judgments, including those related to credit provisions, intangible assets,
contingencies and litigation and income taxes. Management bases its
estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors
that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which
form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and
liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may
differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Management believes the following critical accounting policies, among others,
reflect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of
our financial statements.

Results
of Operations
Three
Months Ended September 30, 2008 vs. Three Months Ended September 30,
2007
Finance
revenues increased 177.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to
$338,356 compared to $121,996 for the comparable period of the prior
year. The change in revenue was primarily due to an increase in
the number of clients. As of September 30, 2008, the Company had 88 active
clients compared to 13 clients as of September 30, 2007.
Net
interest income decreased by $45,870 for the three months ended September 30,
2008 to $5,087 compared to $ 50,957for the comparable period of the prior
year. This change is primarily due to the decrease in cash on hand due to the
Company’s using its cash to fund its purchasing of clients’ accounts
receivable.
The
Company had a provision for credit losses of $226 for the three months ended
September 30, 2008 compared to a provision for credit losses for the three
months ended September 30, 2007 of $22,000.
Operating
expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2008 were $583,644 compared to
$380,074 for the comparable period of the prior year, a 53.5%
increase. This increase is primarily attributable to the Company’s
incurring additional costs for increased payroll, marketing, professional, rent,
insurance and other operating expenses to grow Anchor’s core business, build an
infrastructure to support anticipated growth and operate as a publicly reported
company. In addition, the Company began leasing its own offices in
Charlotte on June 1, 2007 and opened an Executive and Sales office in Boca
Raton, Florida in August, 2007. Rent expense increased by $21,371 for the three
months ended September 30, 2008 to $34,845 compared to $ 13,474 for the
comparable period of the prior year.
Net Loss
for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was $240,427 compared to $225,121
for the comparable period of the prior year.

Flow Summary
Cash
Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash
used by operating activities was $2,822,924 for the nine months ended September
30, 2008 and was primarily due to our net loss for the period and cash used in
acquiring operating assets, primarily to purchase accounts receivable. Cash used
for operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to an increase of
$1,800,239 in retained interest in accounts receivable. Increases and decreases
in prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued payroll and accrued expenses were
primarily the result of timing of payments and receipts.
Net cash
used by operating activities was $1,166,455 for the nine months ended September
30, 2007 and was primarily due to our net loss for the period and cash used by
operating assets, primarily to purchase accounts receivable, and liabilities.
The net loss was $515,669 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Cash
used by operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to an increase of
$774,814 in retained interest in accounts receivable. Decreases in accounts
payable, offset by increases in accrued payroll and accrued expenses were
primarily the result of timing of payments and receipts. Net cash provided by
operating activities was lower for the nine months ended September 30, 2008
compared to the same period last year primarily due to the increased purchase of
accounts receivable and the loss incurred in the current period of $937,680
compared to a net loss of $515,669 for the nine months ended September 30,
2007.

Cash
Flows from Investing Activities
For the
nine months ended September 30, 2008, net cash used in investing activities was
$27,147 for the purchase of property and equipment.
For the
nine months ended September 30, 2007, net cash used in investing activities was
$85,367 for the purchase of property and equipment.
Cash
Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash
provided by financing activities was $0 for the nine months ended September 30,
2008.
Net cash
provided by financing activities was $5,455,964 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2007. This was primarily the result of $6,712,500 of proceeds from
the sale of Preferred Stock offset by $1,209,383 of payments related to costs of
the sale.
Between
January 31, 2007 and April 5, 2007, we raised $6,712,500 in gross proceeds from
the sale of 1,342,500 shares of our Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock to
expand our operations both internally and through possible acquisitions as more
fully described under “Description of Business.”
Capital
Resources
We
previously had the availability of a $1 million line of credit through September
5, 2007 with an institutional asset based lender which advanced funds against
“eligible accounts receivable” as defined in Anchor’s agreement with its
institutional lender. This facility, which was secured by our assets, contained
certain covenants related to tangible net worth and change in control. In the
event that we failed to comply with the covenant(s) and the lender did not waive
such non-compliance, we would have been in default of our credit agreement,
which could have subjected us to penalty rates of interest and accelerate the
maturity of the outstanding balances. On June 28, 2007, we notified
our lender of our desire to terminate the facility agreement immediately and the
lender subsequently agreed to our request.
On
October 22, 2008, Anchor entered into agreements to secure a revolving line of
credit of up to $1,500,000 in total from George Rubin and Morry Rubin, each of
whom are affiliates of Anchor. Each revolving credit note, of which there are
two, is in the principal amount of $750,000 or such other amount that shall have
been advanced and be outstanding and remain unpaid. Each note bears interest at
the rate of 12% per annum and is repayable upon the earlier of (i) demand by
lender and (ii) immediately prior to or on the date of Anchor’s entry into a
loan agreement with an institutional lender. To secure Anchor’s
obligations under the notes, Anchor granted to each lender a security interest
in substantially all the assets of Anchor. The purpose of this line
of credit is to support Anchor’s growing and expanding business.
We intend
to seek to obtain a new institutional credit facility. In the event we are not
able to obtain adequate credit facilities for our factoring and acquisition
needs on commercially reasonable terms, our ability to operate and expand our
business and complete one or more acquisitions would be significantly impacted
and our financial condition and results of operations could suffer.

QUANTITATIVE
AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET
RISK
|
Market
risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and
prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity
prices. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate risk associated
with our short term money market investments. The Company does not have any
financial instruments held for trading or other speculative purposes and does
not invest in derivative financial instruments, interest rate swaps or other
investments that alter interest rate exposure. The Company does not have any
credit facilities with variable interest rates.

CONTROLS
AND PROCEDURES
|
The
Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure
that information required to be disclosed in the Company's Exchange Act reports
is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated
and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure based closely on the definition of "disclosure
controls and procedures" in Rule 13a-15(e). In designing and evaluating the
disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and
procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only
reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management
necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit
relationship of possible controls and procedures. The Company carried out an
evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's
management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and the Company's
Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, the
Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable
assurance level at the end of our most recent quarter. There have been no
changes in the Company's disclosure controls and procedures or in other factors
that could affect the disclosure controls subsequent to the date the Company
completed its evaluation. Therefore, no corrective actions were
taken.
Management
has not yet completed, and is not yet required to have completed, its assessment
of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as required by
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended.
