Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We intend such forward-looking
statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking
statements contained in the Private Securities Reform Act of 1995, and are
including this statement for purposes of these safe harbor provisions.
"Forward-looking statements," which are based on certain assumption and describe

results of operations and business that are subject to various factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from these estimates and most
other statements that are not historical in nature. These factors include, but
are not limited to, general and local economic conditions, changes in interest
rates, deposit flows, demand for commercial, mortgage, consumer and other loans,
real estate values, competition, changes in accounting principles, policies or
guidelines, changes in legislation or regulation, and other economic,
competitive, governmental, regulatory and technological factors affecting our
operations, pricing, products and services. These risks and uncertainties should
be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should

Notes
To Condensed Financial Statements
Three
and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009 and 2008
(Unaudited)
The
Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2009, the Consolidated Statements
of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008
and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 and 2008 have been prepared by us without
audit. In the opinion of Management, the accompanying unaudited
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly in all material
respects our financial position as of September 30, 2009, results of operations
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 and cash flows
for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 are necessarily indicative
of the results to be expected for the full year.
This
report should be read in conjunction with our Form 10-K for our fiscal year
ended December 31, 2008.
1. BACKGROUND AND DESCRIPTION OF
BUSINESS:
|
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Anchor Funding
Services, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Anchor Funding Services,
LLC (“the Company”). All significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
|
|
Anchor
Funding Services, Inc. is a Delaware corporation. Anchor
Funding Services, Inc. has no operations; substantially all operations of
the Company are the responsibility of Anchor Funding Services,
LLC.
|
|
Anchor
Funding Services, LLC is a North Carolina limited liability
company. Anchor Funding Services, LLC was formed
for the purpose of providing factoring and back office services to
businesses located throughout the United States of
America.
|
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 derived from 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 vary based on the
length of time the purchased invoice is outstanding. As
specified in its contract with the customer, 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.
|
F-5
|
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.
|
|
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. Upon collection, the retained interest is refunded
back to the client.
|
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 $67,000 and $94,000 of their September 30, 2009 and
December 31, 2008 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. Estimated useful lives range from 2
to 7 years.
|
|
Deferred Financing Costs
– Costs incurred to obtain financing are capitalized and amortized
over the term of the debt using the straight-line method, which
approximates the effective interest
method.
|
|
In
March 2009, the Company issued stock options to its Chief Executive
Officer and President. These options were issued to reward
these executive’s for providing personal guarantees on the Company’s
financing agreement obtained in November of 2008 (see Note
5). The fair value of these options were computed as specified
by current accounting standards (see Note 7) and recorded as deferred
financing costs. This amount will be amortized to operations
over the remaining term of the financing
agreement.
|
|
In
May 2009, the terms of the financing agreement were
amended. One of the amendments was to remove the Company from
its obligation to pay the lender $100,000 in loan fees. Also,
in May the Company negotiated a reduction in legal fees charged by their
corporate attorney related to work done on this financing
agreement. This reduction was approximately
$41,600.
|
The
expiration date of the financing agreement was also amended in May 2009. Under
the initial terms the financing agreement was scheduled to expire in November
2011. Under the amended terms the financing agreement will expire on December
31, 2009.

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.
|
Under the
treasury stock method, options and warrants will have a dilutive effect if the
average price of common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of
the options and warrants.
Also when
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. For the
quarters and nine months ending September 30, 2009 and 2008, there was a
year-to-date loss from continuing operations.
|
Stock Based Compensation
– The fair value of transactions in which the Company
exchanges its equity instruments for employee services (share-based
payment transactions) must be recognized as an expense in the financial
statements as services are
performed.
|
|
See
Note 7 for the impact on the operating results for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 and 2008.
|
|
Fair Value of Financial
Instruments – The carrying value of cash equivalents, retained
interest in purchased accounts receivable, due to financial institution,
accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates their fair
value.
|
F-7
|
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 – 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.
|
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.
The
Company recognizes 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 Company analyzed
all its tax positions, including tax positions taken and those expected to be
taken.
For the
nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company recognized no
liability or benefit for uncertain tax positions (see Note 10).
The
Company classifies interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits with interest
expense. Penalties accrued on unrecognized tax benefits are
classified with operating expenses.

5. DUE
FROM/TO FINANCIAL INSTITUTION:
|
In
November 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with a financial
institution to finance the factoring of receivables and to provide ongoing
working capital. The agreement is a revolving credit facility
that allows the Company to borrow up to a maximum amount, subject to a
borrowing base formula. This agreement was amended in May
2009.
|
|
The
original agreement permitted the Company to borrow up to $15,000,000; the
amended agreement lowers the maximum borrowing amount to
$5,000,000. The original agreement was scheduled to expire in
November 2011; the amended agreement expires on December 31,
2009. The amended agreement requires the Company to pay a
$50,000 fee if any amounts are unpaid on the expiration
date.
|
|
In
the event the Company is not able to obtain replacement financing for this
revolving credit facility on or before its expiration date (December 31,
2009) severe liquidity problems could
occur.
|
|
Borrowings
are made at the request of the Company. The amount eligible to
be borrowed is based on a borrowing base formula as defined in the
agreement. The interest on borrowings is paid monthly at LIBOR
rate plus 4%. In addition to interest, the Company pays the
financial institution various monthly fees as defined in the
agreement.
|
|
The
agreement is collateralized by a first lien on all Company
assets. Borrowings on this agreement are partially guaranteed
by the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. The
partial guarantee is $250,000 each.
|
|
The
original agreement, among other covenants, required the Company to
maintain certain financial ratios. The amended agreement
revised the financial ratio covenants. As of September 30, 2009
and December 31, 2008, the Company was in compliance with, or obtained
waivers for, all provisions of this
agreement.

6. 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.
|
|
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, 2009 and
December 31, 2008 were $260,711 and
$0.
|
|
Common Stock – The
Company is authorized to issue 40,000,000 shares of $.001 par value Common
Stock. See “Subsequent Events.” 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.
|
|
The
shares issued in Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock and Common Stock as
of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 is summarized as

The net operating loss
carryforward generated in the nine months ending September 30, 2009 and
2008 was approximately $1,070,000 and $921,000,
respectively. The deferred tax assets related to these net
operating loss carryforwards was approximately $418,000 and $313,000 as
September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. These deferred tax
assets have been reduced by valuation allowances. Management is
uncertain if this net operating loss will ever be utilized, therefore it
has been fully reserved.

FACILITY LEASES:
|
In
May 2007, the Company executed lease agreements for office space in
Charlotte, NC and Boca Raton, FL. Both lease agreements are
with unrelated parties.
|
|
The
Charlotte lease is effective on August 15, 2007, is for a twenty-four
month term and includes an option to renew for an additional three year
term at substantially the same terms. On November 1, 2007, the
Company entered into a lease for additional space adjoining its Charlotte
office. The lease is for 19 months and includes a two year
renewal option at substantially the same terms. The monthly
rent for the combined space is approximately
$2,250.
|
|
The
Boca Raton lease was effective on August 20, 2007 and is for a sixty-one
month term. The monthly rental is approximately
$8,300.
|
F-14
Pursuant
to an agreement dated as of October 16, 2009, Anchor Funding Services, LLC,
entered into an agreement to terminate its Boca Raton lease. Anchor vacated
these premises on October 31, 2009. Anchor bought out the lease at a total cost
of $100,000 in order to reduce leasing costs of an estimated $100,000 per annum
in future reporting periods.
|
Total
rent expense for the nine months ending September 30, 2009 and 2008 was
approximately $105,000 and $103,000
respectively.
|
12.
OTHER RECEIVABLE:
|
Other
receivable represents an amount due from a customer that the Company had
purchased accounts receivable from. In June of 2009, the
Company learned that the accounts receivable purchased from this customer
were not paid to the Company, but to another party. The
Company’s factoring and security agreements provide the Company with
several remedies for collecting. The Company is pursuing all
collection remedies available to it under its factoring and security
agreements, including personal guarantees by the customer’s
principals. The Company has initiated a lawsuit against the customer
and its principals. As of September 30, 2009, the Company believes,
through the available courses of action, these funds will be
collected and has ceased accruing fees on the invoices. The Company will
be monitoring this account closely and will make additional judgments and
decisions as the facts and circumstances
dictate.

14. RECENT ACCOUNTING
PRONOUNCEMENTS:
|
In
April 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 “Interim Disclosures about Fair
Value of Financial Instruments” (“ASC 825-10” and “ASC 270-10”,
Transition Related to FSP SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1). ASC 825-10and
270-10 amend the disclosure requirements in ASC 825, “Disclosures about Fair Value
of Financial Instruments”, and ASC 270, “Interim Financial
Reporting,” to require disclosures about the fair value of
financial instruments, including disclosure of the method(s) and
significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial
instruments, in interim financial statements as well as in annual
financial statements. Previously, these disclosures were
required only in annual financial statements. ASC 825-10and
270-10 are effective and should be applied prospectively for financial
statements issued for interim and annual reporting periods ending after
June 15, 2009. In periods after initial adoption, ASC 825-10and
270-10 require comparative disclosures only for periods ending subsequent
to initial adoption and does not require earlier periods to be disclosed
for comparative purposes at initial adoption. The Company was
not impacted by the adoption of this
pronouncement.
|
|
In
May 2009, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 165, Subsequent Events (“ASC
855”, Subsequent
Events), which establishes general standards of and accounting for
and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but
before financial statements are issued or are available to be
issued. This Statement was effective for interim and annual
periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company has complied
with the requirements of ASC 855.
|
|
In
June 2009, the FASB issued Statement No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards
Codification TM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (“ASC 105,” Generally Accepted Accounting Principles).
ASC 105 replaces
FASB Statement No. 162. Under the Statement, The FASB
Accounting Standards Codification (Codification) has become the source of
authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP)
recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental
entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) under authority of federal securities laws are
also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. On the
effective date of this Statement, the Codification will supersede all
then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All
other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the
Codification will become non-authoritative. This Statement is
effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods
ending after September 15, 2009. The codification is effective
for these third quarter financial statements and the principal impact is
limited to disclosures as all future references to authoritative
literature will be referenced in accordance with the
codification.

F-15
|
In
August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No.
2009-05, Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) – Measuring Liabilities at Fair
Value. This ASU provides amendments for fair value measurements of
liabilities. It provides clarification that in circumstances in which a
quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not
available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one
or more techniques. ASU 2009-05 also clarifies that when estimating a fair
value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to include a
separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of
a restriction that prevents the transfer of the liability. ASU 2009-05 is
effective for the first reporting period (including interim periods)
beginning after issuance or fourth quarter 2009. The Company is assessing
the impact of ASU 2009-05 on our financial condition, results of
operations and disclosures.

Pursuant
to an agreement dated as of October 16, 2009, the Registrant’s wholly-owned
subsidiary, Anchor Funding Services, LLC, entered into an agreement to terminate
its lease covering premises currently known as 800 Yamato Road, Suite 102, Boca
Raton, FL 33431. The lease agreement which was entered into on April 16, 2007
and would have expired on May 31, 2012 will now terminate and Anchor will vacate
these premises on or before October 31, 2009. The Registrant’s subsidiary bought
out the lease at a total cost of $100,000 in order to reduce net leasing costs
of an estimated $8,300 per month or $100,000 per annum. The termination of this
lease is part of the organization’s effort to substantially reduce overhead
costs. There is no material relationship between the Registrant and the landlord
of the premises being surrendered.

Item
2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
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 support and
assumption of 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 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, litigation and income taxes. Management bases its estimates
and judgments on historical experience as well as 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.
Summary
of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
|
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 derived from 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 vary based on the
length of time the purchased invoice is outstanding. As
specified in its contract with the customer, 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.
|
4
|
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.
|
|
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. Upon collection, the retained interest is refunded
back to the client.
|
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 $67,000 and $94,000 of their September 30, 2009 and
December 31, 2008 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. Estimated useful lives range from 2
to 7 years.
|
|
Deferred Financing Costs
– Costs incurred to obtain financing are capitalized and amortized
over the term of the debt using the straight-line method, which
approximates the effective interest
method.
|
|
In
March 2009, the Company issued stock options to its Chief Executive
Officer and President. These options were issued to reward
these executive’s for providing personal guarantees on the Company’s
financing agreement obtained in November of 2008 (see Note
5). The fair value of these options were computed as specified
by current accounting standards (see Note 7) and recorded as deferred
financing costs. This amount will be amortized to operations
over the remaining term of the financing
agreement.
|
|
In
May 2009, the terms of the financing agreement were
amended. One of the amendments was to remove the Company from
its obligation to pay the lender $100,000 in loan fees. Also,
in May the Company negotiated a reduction in legal fees charged by their
corporate attorney related to work done on this financing
agreement. This reduction was approximately
$41,600.
|
The
expiration date of the financing agreement was also amended in May 2009. Under
the initial terms the financing agreement was scheduled to expire November 2011.
Under the amended terms the financing agreement will expire on December 31,
2009.
|
As
of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the total amount capitalized
and accumulated amortization is as
follows:
|

|
Advertising Costs – The
Company charges advertising costs to expense as incurred. Total
advertising costs were as follows:

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.
|
Under the
treasury stock method, options and warrants will have a dilutive effect if the
average price of common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of
the options and warrants.
Also when
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. For the
quarters and nine months ending September 30, 2009 and 2008, there was a
year-to-date loss from continuing operations.
|
Stock Based Compensation
– The fair value of transactions in which the Company
exchanges its equity instruments for employee services (share-based
payment transactions) must be recognized as an expense in the financial
statements as services are
performed.
|
|
See
Note 7 for the impact on the operating results for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 and 2008.
|
|
Fair Value of Financial
Instruments – The carrying value of cash equivalents, retained
interest in purchased accounts receivable, due to financial institution,
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 – 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.
|
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.
The
Company recognizes 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 Company analyzed
all its tax positions, including tax positions taken and those expected to be
taken.
For the
nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company recognized no
liability or benefit for uncertain tax positions (see Note 10).
The
Company classifies interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits with interest
expense. Penalties accrued on unrecognized tax benefits are
classified with operating expenses.

Results
of Operations
Three
Months Ended September 30, 2009 vs. Three Months Ended September 30,
2008
Finance
revenues increased 15.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2009 to
$390,555 compared to $338,356 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, 2009, the Company had 103 active
clients compared to 84 active clients as of September 30,
2008.
The
Company had interest expense of $28,722 for the three months ended September 30,
2009 compared to interest income of $5,087 for the three months ended September
30, 2008. This change is primarily the result of the decrease in cash in
interest bearing accounts due to the Company’s using its cash and borrowing on
its line of credit to fund its purchasing of clients’ accounts
receivable.
The
Company had a benefit for credit losses of $1,706 for the three months ended
September 30, 2009 compared to a provision for credit losses for the three
months ended September 30, 2008 of $226.
Operating
expenses for three months ended September 30, 2009 were $760,461 compared to
$583,644 for the three months ended September 30, 2008, a 30.3%
increase. This increase is primarily attributable to the Company’s
incurring additional costs to grow Anchor’s core business and support growth,
along with increased amortization of the financing costs incurred in connection
with the Company’s line of credit.
In
September 2009, the Company began implementing certain cost reducing
initiatives, including reducing personnel, eliminating certain advertising and
buying out of its Boca Raton lease. The Company anticipates that these
initiatives will reduce annual operating expenses by approximately
$500,000.

revenues increased 44.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to
$1,188,035 compared to $823,533 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, 2009, the Company had 103 active
clients compared to 84 active clients as of September 30,
2008.
The
Company had interest expense of $62,339 for the nine months ended September 30,
2009 compared to interest income of $39,606 for the nine months ended September
30, 2008. This change is primarily the result of the decrease in cash in
interest bearing accounts due to the Company’s using its cash and borrowing on
its line of credit to fund its purchasing of clients’ accounts

The
Company had a provision for credit losses of $26,003 for the nine months ended

ended September 30, 2008 of $5,270.
Operating
expenses for nine months ended September 30, 2009 were $2,170,268 compared to
$1,805,549 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, an 20.2%
increase. This increase is primarily attributable to the Company’s
incurring additional costs to grow Anchor’s core business and support growth,
along with increased amortization of the financing costs incurred in connection
with the Company’s line of credit.
In
September 2009, the Company began implementing certain cost reducing
initiatives, including reducing personnel, eliminating certain advertising and
buying out of its Boca Raton lease. The Company anticipates that these
initiatives will reduce annual operating expenses by approximately
$500,000.

Cash
Flow Summary
Cash
Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash
used by operating activities was $2,230,896 for the nine months ended September
30, 2009 and was primarily due to our net loss for the period and cash used in
acquiring operating assets, primarily to purchase 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
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
$1,070,575 compared to a net loss of $947,680 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2008.

Cash
Flows from Investing Activities
For the
nine months ended September 30, 2009, net cash used in investing activities was
$11,029 for the purchase of property and equipment.
For
the nine months ended September 30, 2008, net cash used in investing activities
was $27,147 for the purchase of property and equipment.
Cash
Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash
provided by financing activities was $2,225,712 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 and was primarily due to increased borrowings from a
financial institution to fund the purchase of accounts receivable.
Net cash
provided by financing activities was $0 for the nine months ended September 30,
2008.
Capital Resources
Based
on numerous financial covenants, we currently have the availability to borrow up
to $5 million senior credit facility through December 31, 2009 with an
institutional asset based lender which advanced funds against up to 85% of
“eligible net factored accounts receivable” (minus client reserves as lender may
establish in good faith) as defined in Anchor’s agreement with its institutional
lender. This facility, which is secured by our assets, contains certain
covenants related to tangible net worth, change in control and other matters. In
the event that we fail to comply with the covenant(s) and the lender does not
waive such non-compliance, we could be in default of our credit agreement, which
could subject us to penalty rates of interest and accelerate the maturity of the
outstanding balances. In the event we are not able to maintain
adequate credit facilities for our factoring and acquisition needs on
commercially reasonable terms, our ability to operate our business and complete
one or more acquisitions would be significantly impacted and our financial
condition and results of operations could suffer. We can provide no
assurances that a replacement facility will be obtained by us on terms
satisfactory to us, if at all. Our two executive officers have each personally
guaranteed the indebtedness under our existing credit facility up to $250,000
per person for a total of $500,000. We can provide no assurances that personal
guarantees will be provided by our executive officers to a new institutional
lender or how that may impact the definitive terms of any new
facility.
On
May 20, 2009, the Registrant amended its Credit Facility to modify certain
financial covenants which modifications the Registrant believes are favorable to
it. These modifications will immediately increase our leverage to borrow based
on our tangible net worth and allow us to use the Credit Facility for factoring
portfolio acquisitions. However, the amendment accelerates the expiration date
of the Credit Facility from November 21, 2011 to December 31, 2009 and decreases
the facility from $15,000,000 to $5,000,000. The Credit Facility continues to
contain customary representations and warranties, covenants, events of default
and limitations, among other provisions. The amended agreement
requires the Company to pay a $50,000 fee if any amounts are unpaid on the
expiration date.
The
financial statements and related financial data presented herein have been
prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which
require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of
historical dollars without considering the changes in the relative purchasing
power of money over time and resulting from inflation. The impact of
inflation on operations of the Company is reflected in increased operating
costs. Unlike most industrial companies, almost all of the assets and
liabilities of the Company are monetary in nature. As a result,
interest rates have a more significant impact on the Company’s performance than
the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not
necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the price of
goods and services.

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.

OTHER
INFORMATION:
|
Pursuant
to an agreement dated as of October 16, 2009, the Registrant’s wholly-owned
subsidiary, Anchor Funding Services, LLC, entered into an agreement to terminate
its lease covering premises currently known as 800 Yamato Road, Suite 102, Boca
Raton, FL 33431. The lease agreement which was entered into on April 16, 2007
and would have expired on May 31, 2012 will now terminate and Anchor will vacate
these premises on or before October 31, 2009. The Registrant’s subsidiary bought
out the lease at a total cost of $100,000 in order to reduce net leasing costs
of an estimated $8,300 per month or $100,000 per annum. The termination of this
lease is part of the organization’s effort to substantially reduce overhead
costs. There is no material relationship between the Registrant and the landlord
of the premises being surrendered. A copy of the termination of lease is filed
as exhibit 10.1 below.
