Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)
NOTE
1.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND MANAGEMENT’S LIQUIDITY PLANS:
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Debt
Resolve Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Debt Resolve”) have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. In the
opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting
only
of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of the
Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows at the dates
and for the periods indicated. Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) applicable to quarterly reports on Form
10-Q, the accompanying financial statements do not include all the disclosures
required by GAAP for annual financial statements. While the Company believes
that the disclosures presented are adequate to make the information not
misleading, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the
year ended December 31, 2007. Operating results for the three months ended
March
31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected
for
the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008, or any other interim
period.
The
accompanying condensed 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 and
the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal
course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented
in
the financial statements do not purport to represent realizable or settlement
values. The Company has suffered significant recurring operating losses, has
a
working capital deficiency and needs to raise additional capital in order to
be
able to accomplish its business plan objectives. These conditions raise
substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The
Company has historically raised funds through the sale of debt and equity
instruments. As of March 31, 2008, the Company has entered into three lines
of
credit with related parties with current outstanding balances of $1,006,000.
Also as of March 31, 2008, the Company also issued notes to unaffiliated
investors for a total of $842,000 and obtained bank loans of $150,000. In
addition, subsequent to March 31, 2008, the Company has received approximately
$298,000 in cash proceeds from various loans. Also, an officer has loaned
the
Company approximately $96,000 subsequent to March 31, 2008. Management has
informed these note holders that some or all of these loans would be re-paid
at
the next significant funding that the Company receives. On March 31, 2008,
the
Company entered into a private placement agreement with Harmonie International
LLC (“Harmonie”) for the sale of 2,966,102 shares of common stock for cash
proceeds of $7,000,000. Harmonie is also to receive a warrant to purchase
up to 3,707,627 of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $2.36
per
share. The warrant has a ten year exercise period. On May 16, 2008, Harmonie
has
requested an extension of time to complete funding by May 30, 2008. As of
May
19, 2008, funds under this agreement have not been received and there is
no
assurance that the Company will receive such proceeds.
Management
is actively pursuing additional debt/equity financing. Management
believes that it will be successful in obtaining additional financing and
that
it will successfully integrate the Company’s subsidiaries to a level of
profitability, however it has not yet achieved profitability, and
no assurance can be provided that the Company will be able to do so.
If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional funds or integrate
the
Company’s subsidiaries to a level of profitability, it will have to develop and
implement a plan to extend payables and reduce overhead until sufficient
additional capital is raised to support further operations. However, there
can
be no assurance that its efforts will be successful.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Principles
of Consolidation
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of First Performance Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary, together with
its wholly-owned subsidiary, First Performance Recovery Corporation, and DRV
Capital LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary (“DRV Capital”), together with its wholly
owned subsidiary, EAR Capital, LLC (“EAR”). The results of DRV Capital and
EAR are shown as discontinued operations in the financial statements. All
material inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
Reclassifications
Certain
accounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified for
comparison purposes to conform to the presentation of the current period
financial statements. These reclassifications had no effect on the previously
reported loss.
Stock-based
compensation
The
Company accounts for stock options issued under stock-based compensation plans
under the recognition and measurement principles of SFAS No. 123(R) (“Share
Based Payment”). The fair value of each option and warrant granted to employees
and non-employees is estimated as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes
pricing model. The estimated fair value of the options granted is recognized
as
an expense over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally
the option vesting period. As of March 31, 2008, total unrecognized compensation
cost amounted to $283,646, all of which is expected to be recognized in 2008
and
2009. Total stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended March
31, 2008 and 2007 amounted to $1,127,369 and $323,088,
respectively.
The
fair
value of share-based payment awards, including options and warrants, granted
during the periods was estimated using the Black-Scholes pricing model with
the
following assumptions (including a volatility factor derived from an index
of
comparable public entities) and weighted average fair values as
follows:

The
Company accounts for the expected life of share options in accordance with
the
“simplified” method provisions of Securities and Exchange Commission Staff
Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 110 (December 2007), which enables the use of
the simplified method for “plain vanilla” share options as defined in SAB No.

Net
loss
per share of common stock
Basic
net
loss per share excludes dilution for potentially dilutive securities and
is
computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted
net loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if
securities or other instruments to issue common stock were exercised or
converted into common stock. Potentially dilutive securities realizable from
the
exercise of options and warrants aggregating 7,631,037 and 4,542,604,
respectively at March 31, 2008 and 2007, are excluded from the computation
of
diluted net loss per share as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
The
Company’s issued and outstanding common shares do not include the underlying
shares exercisable with respect to the issuance of 211,273 and 1,024,720
warrants, respectively, as of March 31, 2008 and 2007, exercisable at $0.01
per
share related to a financing completed in June 2006. In accordance with SFAS
No.
128 “Earnings Per Share”, the Company has given effect to the issuance of these
warrants in computing basic net loss per share.

ACQUISITION
OF FIRST PERFORMANCE CORPORATION:
On
January 19, 2007, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock
of
First Performance Corporation, a Nevada corporation (“First Performance”), and
its wholly-owned subsidiary, First Performance Recovery Corporation, pursuant
to
a Stock Purchase Agreement. First Performance is an accounts receivable
management agency with operations in Las Vegas, Nevada and formerly in Fort
Lauderdale, Florida.

LITIGATION
:
Our
First
Performance subsidiary received an action under the Texas Fair Debt Collection
Practices Act and the Telephone Act. The plaintiff is seeking $10,000 in
damages. The Company is vigorously defending this matter as it believes that
the
claim has no merit. A hearing on a motion for summary judgment initiated by
First Performance will be held on May 30, 2008.
From
time
to time, the Company is involved in various litigation in the ordinary course
of
business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these
matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial
position or results of operations.
NOTE

OPERATING
LEASES:
On
August
1, 2005, the Company entered into a five year lease for its corporate
headquarters which includes annual escalations in rent. In accordance with
SFAS
No. 13, “Accounting for Leases,” (“SFAS 13”) the Company accounts for rent
expense using the straight line method of accounting, accruing the difference
between actual rent due and the straight line amount. At March 31, 2008, accrued
rent payable totaled $14,402.
The
Company
also
leases an office in Las Vegas, Nevada under a non-cancelable operating lease
that expires July 31, 2014 and calls for annual escalations in rent. First
Performance follows the requirements of SFAS 13 as does Debt Resolve. At March
31, 2008, accrued rent payable related to this lease totaled
$25,822.
Rent
expense for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 was $103,521 and
$68,415, respectively.
As
of
March 31, 2008, future minimum rental payments under the above non-cancelable
operating leases are as follows:

EMPLOYMENT
AGREEMENT:
On
February 16, 2008, the Company entered into an employment agreement with
Mr.
Kenneth H. Montgomery to serve as its Chief Executive Officer. The agreement
has
a one year, automatically renewable term unless the Company provides 90 days
written notice of its intention not to renew prior to the anniversary date.
Mr.
Montgomery’s salary is $225,000 annually, with a bonus of up to 75% of salary
based on performance of objectives set by the Chairman and the Board of
Directors. Mr. Montgomery also received 50,000 shares of restricted stock
and
350,000 options to purchase the common stock of the Company at an exercise
price
of $0.80, the closing price on his date of approval by the Board. The grant
of
options has a seven year term and vest 50% immediately and 50% on the six
month
anniversary of his employment. The option grant was valued at $210,000 under
the
Black-Scholes pricing model, and the initial vesting was expensed immediately
and the remainder of the grant is being expensed over the vesting period.
These
restricted shares have not been issued as of May 19, 2008. The restricted
shares
were valued at $0.80 per share, the closing price on the date of the grant.
The
total expense of $40,000 was credited to Additional Paid-in Capital. There
are
no restrictions on this grant of stock, except that the stock is not registered
and is therefore subject to SEC rules regarding unregistered stock. During
the
three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company recorded an expense relating
to
the option grant in the amount of $140,000.

SEGMENT
DATA:
Prior
to
January
2007
,
the
Company had minimal revenue through the DebtResolve System. As discussed
in Note 1, on
January
19, 2007
,
the
Company acquired First Performance, an accounts receivable management
agency. Also, in
January
2007
,
the
Company initiated operations of its debt buying subsidiary. Accordingly,
as of
January
2007
,
the
Company is no longer considered a development stage entity, and operated in
three segments: Internet Services (internet debt resolution software and
services offered to creditors and collection agencies), Debt Buying (defaulted
consumer debt buying), and a Collection Agency (consumer debt
collections). On
October
15, 2007
,
the
Company ceased its operations of the Debt Buying segment (Note 6) and now
operates its Internet Services and Collection Agency segments.
Accordingly, the following table summarizes financial information about the
Company’s business segments as of

RECENT
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:
In
September
2006
,
the
FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157
provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities.
It also responds to investors’ requests for expanded information about the
extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the
information used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value
measurements on earnings. SFAS 157 applies whenever other standards
require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value, and
does
not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. SFAS 157 is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
November
15, 2007
and has
been adopted by the Company in 2008 without material effect on the Company’s
consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In
February
2007
,
the
FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities (“SFAS 159”) including an amendment of FASB Statement No.
115. SFAS 159 permits companies to choose to measure certain financial
instruments and certain other items 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. The Company adopted SFAS 159
beginning in the first quarter of 2008, without material effect on the Company’s
consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In
February
2008
,
the
FASB issued Staff Position No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No.
157
(“FSP 157-2”) that defers the effective date of applying the provisions of SFAS
157 to the fair value measurement of non-financial assets and non-financial
liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in
the
financial statements on a recurring basis (or at least annually), until fiscal
years beginning after
November
15, 2008
.
The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of FSP 157-2
will have on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition,
but
does not expect it to have a material impact.

Consulting
fees
During
the three months ended March 31, 2008, an entity owned by a former Director
performed consulting services for the Company in the amount of $25,984. Such
amount is reflected in Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities as of March
31,
2008.
NOTE

AMERICAN
STOCK EXCHANGE DEFICIENCY LETTER:
On
January 7, 2008, the Company received a deficiency letter from the
American
Stock Exchange stating
that
it
was not in compliance with specific provisions of the
American
Stock Exchange
continued listing standards. Also on January 7, 2008, the Company provided
a
plan of remediation to the Exchange, and the plan was accepted. The Company
was
given 90 days to regain compliance with listing standards by April 7, 2008.
As a
result of the closing of the documentation by which Harmonie International LLC
committed to invest $7 million in the common stock of the Company, the Exchange
provided an extension of the time to regain compliance. At this time, the
Exchange is requesting proof of funding by Harmonie. As of May 19, 2008, no
funds have been received.
The
Exchange has notified the Company that additional information is required at
this time to make a further determination about the Company’s listing status.
The information requested specifically concerns the cause of the delay in
funding. The Company is in the process of preparing a response to the Exchange
at this time.
NOTE

SUBSEQUENT
EVENTS:
On
April
10, 2008, an unaffiliated investor loaned the Company an additional $198,000
on
an 18 month note with a maturity date of October 10, 2008. The note carries
interest at a rate of 12% interest per annum, with interest accruing and payable
at maturity. The outstanding principal and interest may be repaid, in whole
or
in part, at any time without prepayment penalty. The note is secured by the
assets of the Company. In conjunction with the note, the Company also issued
a
warrant to purchase 99,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.45
and an expiration date of April 10, 2013. The note was recorded net of a
deferred debt discount of $88,110, based on the relative fair value of the
warrant and will be amortized over the term of the note.
On
May
15, 2008, a local bank loaned the Company an additional $100,000 at the prime
rate of 7% due on July 1, 2008, with interest payable monthly in
cash.
Subsequent
to March 31, 2008, an officer loaned the Company approximately $96,000 to be
used for working capital purposes.
Item
2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of
Operation
Overview
Prior
to
January 19, 2007, we were a development stage company.
On
January 19, 2007, we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of First
Performance Corporation, a Nevada corporation (“First Performance”), and its
wholly owned subsidiary, First Performance Recovery Corporation, pursuant to
a
Stock Purchase Agreement dated January 19, 2007. Accordingly, we are no longer
considered a development stage entity as of the date of the acquisition.
Since
completing initial product development in early 2004, our primary business
has
been providing a software solution to consumer lenders or those collecting
on
those loans based on our proprietary DebtResolve system, our Internet-based
bidding system that facilitates the settlement and collection of defaulted
consumer debt via the Internet. We have marketed our service primarily to
consumer credit card issuers, collection agencies, collection law firms and
the
buyers of defaulted debt in the United States and Europe. We intend to market
our service to other segments served by the collections industry worldwide.
For
example, we believe that our system will be especially valuable for the
collection of low balance debt, such as that held by utility companies and
online service providers, where the cost of traditionally labor intensive
collection efforts may exceed the value collected. We also intend to pursue
past-due Internet-related debt, such as that held by sellers of sales and
services online. We believe that consumers who incurred their debt over the
Internet will be likely to respond favorably to an Internet-based collection
solution. In addition, creditors of Internet-related debt usually have access
to
debtors’ e-mail addresses, facilitating the contact of debtors directly by
e-mail. We believe that expanding to more recently past-due portfolios of such
debt will result in higher settlement volumes, improving our clients’
profitability by increasing their collections while reducing their cost of
collections. We do not anticipate any material incremental costs associated
with
developing our capabilities and marketing to these creditors, as our existing
DebtResolve system can already handle this type of debt, and we make contact
with these creditors in our normal course of business.
We
have
prepared for our entry into the European marketplace by reviewing our mode
of
business and modifying our contracts to comply with appropriate European
privacy, debtor protection and other applicable regulations. We expect that
initially, our expense associated with servicing our United Kingdom and other
potential European clients will be minimal, consisting primarily of travel
expense to meet with those clients and additional legal fees, as our European
contracts, although already written to conform to European regulations, may
require customization. We have begun investigation of, and negotiations with,
companies who may provide local, outsourced European customer service support
for us on an as needed basis, the expense of which will be variable with the
level of business activity. In the United Kingdom and the Benelux countries,
we
have engaged agents to represent us for sales and customer service for a flat
monthly fee. We recently announced the signing of our first European customer,
a
U.K.-based large collection agency. We may incur additional costs, which we
cannot anticipate at this time, if we expand into Canada and other
countries.
Our
revenues to date have been insufficient to fund our operations. We have financed
our activities to date through our management’s contributions of cash, the
forgiveness of royalty and consulting fees, the proceeds from sales of our
common stock in private placement financings, the proceeds of our convertible
promissory notes in three private financings, short-term borrowings from
previous investors or related parties, the proceeds from the sale of our common
stock in our initial public offering, proceeds from notes with investors
introduced to us by The Resolution Group and by loans from a local bank. In
connection with our marketing and client support goals, we expect our operating
expenses to grow as we employ additional technicians, sales people and client
support representatives. We expect that salaries and other compensation expenses
will continue to be our largest category of expense, while travel, legal and
other sales and marketing expenses will grow as we expand our sales, marketing
and support capabilities. Effective utilization of our system will require
a
change in thinking on the part of the collection industry, but we believe the
effort will result in new collection benchmarks. We intend to provide detailed
advice and hands-on assistance to clients to help them make the transition
to
our system.
Our
current contracts provide that we will earn revenue based on a percentage of
the
amount of debt collected from accounts submitted on our DebtResolve system,
from
flat fees per settlement achieved, from flat fees per placement on our system
or
a flat monthly license fee. Although other revenue models have been proposed,
most revenue earned to date has been determined using these methods, and such
revenue is recognized when the settlement amount of debt is collected by our
client or in accordance with our client contracts. For the early adopters of
our
system, we waived set-up fees and other transactional fees that we anticipate
charging on a going-forward basis. While the percent of debt collected will
continue to be a revenue recognition method going forward, other payment models
are also being offered to clients and may possibly become our preferred revenue
model. Most contracts currently in process include provisions for set up fees
and base revenue on a monthly licensing fee, in the aggregate or per account,
with some contracts having a small transaction fee on debt settlement as well.
In addition, with respect to our DR Prevent ™ module, which settles consumer
debt at earlier stages, we expect that a licensing fee per account on our
system, and/or the hybrid revenue model which will include both fees per account
and transaction fees at settlement, may become the preferred revenue methods.
As
we expand our knowledge of the industry, we have become aware that different
revenue models may be more appropriate for the individual circumstances of
our
potential clients, and our expanded choice of revenue models reflects that
knowledge.
In
January 2007, we also entered into the business of purchasing and collecting
debt. Through our subsidiary, DRV Capital LLC, and its single-purpose
subsidiary, EAR Capital I, LLC, we bought two portfolios of charged-off debt
at
a significant discount to their face value and, through subcontracted, licensed
debt collectors, attempted to collect on that debt by utilizing both our
DebtResolve system and also traditional collection methods. On October 15,
2007,
we notified our debt buying business partners that we would no longer be buying
portfolios of debt on the open market, since many of our current and future
partners are debt buyers. We sold our remaining portfolios and repaid all
outstanding loans. As a result, the activity for DRV Capital has been included
in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as discontinued
operations. In the future, we may use our DRV Capital entity to participate
with
one or more of our debt buying customers in purchasing a percentage of their
portfolio, for the purpose of getting a larger percentage of the portfolio
to
collect and to enhance the introduction our DebtResolve system to new debt
buying clients. We have no plans at the present time to engage in this
activity.
In
January 2007, we purchased the outstanding common stock of First Performance.
First Performance is a collection agency that represents both regional and
national credit grantors from such diverse industries as retail, bankcard,
oil
cards, mortgage and auto. By entering this business directly, we have signaled
our intention to become a significant player in the accounts receivable
management industry. We believe that through a mixture of both traditional
and
our innovative, technologically-driven collection methods, we can achieve
superior returns. Due to the loss of four major clients at First Performance
during 2007, we performed two interim impairment analyses in accordance with
SFAS 142. As a result of these analyses, we recorded impairment charges
aggregating $1,206,335 during year ended December 31, 2007.
Revenue
streams associated with this business include contingency fee revenue on
recovery of past due consumer debt and non-sufficient funds fees on returned
checks.
We
have
historically raised funds through the sale of debt and equity instruments.
As of
March 31, 2008, we have entered into three lines of credit with related parties
with current outstanding balances of $1,006,000. Also as of March 31, 2008,
we
also issued notes to unaffiliated investors for a total of $842,000 and obtained
bank loans of $150,000. In addition, subsequent to March 31, 2008, we have
received approximately $298,000 in cash proceeds from various loans. Also,
an
officer has loaned us approximately $96,000 subsequent to March 31, 2008.
Management has informed these note holders that some or all of these loans
would
be re-paid at the next significant funding that the Company receives. On
March
31, 2008, we entered into a private placement agreement with Harmonie
International LLC (“Harmonie”) for the sale of 2,966,102 shares of common stock
for cash proceeds of $7,000,000. Harmonie is also to receive a warrant to
purchase up to 3,707,627 of our common stock at an exercise price of $2.36
per
share. The warrant has a ten year exercise period. On May 16, 2008, Harmonie
has
requested an extension of time to complete funding by May 30, 2008. As of
May
19, 2008, funds under this agreement have not been received and there is
no
assurance that we will receive such proceeds.
We
are
actively pursuing additional debt/equity financing. We believe that
we will be successful in obtaining additional financing and that we will
successfully integrate our subsidiaries to a level of profitability, however
we
have not yet achieved profitability, and no assurance can be provided that
we will be able to do so. If we are unable to raise sufficient additional
funds or integrate our subsidiaries to a level of profitability, we will have
to
develop and implement a plan to extend payables and reduce overhead until
sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations. However,
there can be no assurance that our efforts will be successful.
Results
of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 Compared to the Three
Months Ended March 31, 2007
Revenues
Revenues
totaled $233,148 and $1,135,755 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and
2007, respectively. We earned revenue during the three months ended March 31,
2008 from fees earned on debt collected by our collection agency, and as a
percent of debt collected, flat settlement fee or monthly license fee at
collection agencies, law firms, a lender and two banks that implemented our
online system. Of the revenue earned during the three months ended March 31,
2008, $148,970 was earned as fees on debt collected at our collection agency
and
$84,178 was contingency fee income, based on a percentage of the amount of
debt
collected, monthly license fees or fees per settlement from accounts placed
on
our online system. Of the revenue earned during the three months ended March
31,
2007, $1,115,134 was earned as fees on debt collected at our collection agency
and $20,620 was contingency fee income, based on a percentage of the amount
of
debt collected, monthly license fees or fees per settlement from accounts placed
on our online system. The decline in revenue at First Performance is the result
of the loss of four major clients during 2007. Such clients generated revenue
of
$991,153 and $2,098,303 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and the year
ended December 31, 2007, respectively.
Costs
and Expenses
Payroll
and related expenses
.
Payroll
and related expenses totaled $1,646,006 for the three months ended March
31,
2008, an increase of $47,582 over payroll and related expenses of $1,598,424
for
the three months ended March 31, 2007. This increase was due to an increase
in
employee stock based compensation expense. Non-cash stock based compensation
expense was $1,127,369 and $156,514 for the three months ended March 31,
2008
and 2007, respectively. Salary expenses were $497,908 for the three months
ended
March 31, 2008, a decrease of $613,960 over salary expenses of $1,111,868
for
the three months ended March 31, 2007 due to the closure of the First
Performance Florida office and significant downsizing in 2007. Payroll tax
expense of $48,223 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 represented
a
decrease of $75,109 over payroll tax expense of $123,332 for the three months
ended March 31, 2007, also due to downsizing. The expenses for the three
months
ended March 31, 2008 for benefits, severance and miscellaneous were $48,733,
$0
and 6,423, respectively versus expenses of $100,587, $27,583 and $78,540,
respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
General
and administrative expenses
.
General
and administrative expenses amounted to $849,140 for the three months ended
March 31, 2008, as compared to $1,531,625 for the three months ended March
31,
2007, a decrease of $682,485. Direct collection costs at First Performance
decreased by $86,989 to $39,186 from $126,175 in the three months ended March
31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The expense for stock based compensation for
stock options granted to consultants for the three months ended March 31, 2008
was $82,650, as compared with stock based compensation in the amount of $166,574
for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Also, for the three months ended
March 31, 2008 consulting fees totaled $124,241, as compared with $201,794
in
consulting fees for the three months ended March 31, 2007, a decrease of
$77,553, primarily related to the elimination of consultants to control costs.
Legal fees decreased by $178,678 to $115,768 for the three months ended March
31, 2008 from $294,446 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, primarily
due
to the conclusion of the patent litigation against Apollo Enterprise Solutions
in 2007. The expenses for occupancy, telecommunications, travel and office
supplies for the three months ended March 31, 2008 were $103,521, $44,597,
$46,138 and $25,938, respectively, as compared with expenses of $126,094,
$141,481, $96,035 and $71,382 for occupancy, telecommunications, travel and
office supplies, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2007, all
due to strong costs control efforts in the second half of 2007 and the three
months ended March 31, 2008. Marketing expenses decreased by $89,337 to $19,435
for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $108,772 for the three months
ended March 31, 2007, primarily due to the elimination of marketing consultants
after March 31, 2007. Other general operating costs for the three months ended
March 31, 2008, including insurance and accounting expenses, amounted to
$247,667, as compared with $198,873 for the three months ended March 31,
2007.
Depreciation
and amortization expense
.
For the
three months ended March 31, 2008, we recorded depreciation expense of $34,361
and an expense of $16,152 for the amortization of intangibles recorded in
connection with the acquisition of First Performance Corporation in January
2007. Depreciation expense and the amortization of intangibles for the three
months ended March 31, 2007 was $35,535 and $17,250, respectively.
Interest
income (expense).
We
recorded interest income, interest expense and interest expense - related
parties of $190, ($29,388) and ($30,431) for the three months ended March 31,
2008, respectively, compared to interest income and interest expense of $36,770
and ($281), respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Interest
expense for the three months ended March 31, 2008 includes interest accrued
on
our lines of credit, investor notes and bank loans.
Amortization
of deferred debt discount.
Amortization
expense of $501,674 was incurred for the three months ended March 31, 2008
for
the amortization of the value of the deferred debt discount associated with
our
lines of credit and short term notes.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
We
have
historically raised funds through the sale of debt and equity instruments.
As of
March 31, 2008, we have entered into three lines of credit with related parties
with current outstanding balances of $1,006,000. Also as of March 31, 2008,
we
also issued notes to unaffiliated investors for a total of $842,000 and obtained
bank loans of $150,000. In addition, subsequent to March 31, 2008, we have
received approximately $298,000 in cash proceeds from various loans. Also,
an
officer has loaned us approximately $96,000 subsequent to March 31, 2008.
Management has informed these note holders that some or all of these loans
would
be re-paid at the next significant funding that the Company receives. On
March
31, 2008, we entered into a private placement agreement with Harmonie
International LLC (“Harmonie”) for the sale of 2,966,102 shares of common stock
for cash proceeds of $7,000,000. Harmonie is also to receive a warrant to
purchase up to 3,707,627 of our common stock at an exercise price of $2.36
per
share. The warrant has a ten year exercise period. On May 16, 2008, Harmonie
has
requested an extension of time to complete funding by May 30, 2008. As of
May
19, 2008, funds under this agreement have not been received and there is
no
assurance that we will receive such proceeds.
We
are
actively pursuing additional debt/equity financing. We believe that
we will be successful in obtaining additional financing and that we will
successfully integrate First Performance to a level of profitability, however
it
has not yet achieved profitability, and no assurance can be provided that
we will be able to do so. If we are unable to raise sufficient additional
funds or integrate our subsidiaries to a level of profitability, we will have
to
develop and implement a plan to extend payables and reduce overhead until
sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations. However,
there can be no assurance that our efforts will be successful.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Use
of
estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires our management
to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements and the accompanying notes. These estimates and assumptions are
based
on our management’s judgment and available information and, consequently, actual
results could be different from these estimates.
Accounts
Receivable
The
Company extends credit to large and mid-size companies for collection services.
The Company has concentrations of credit risk as 68% of the balance of accounts
receivable at March 31, 2008 consists of only three customers. At March 31,
2008, accounts receivable from the three largest accounts amounted to
approximately $39,600 (27%), $38,027 (26%) and $21,108 (15%), respectively.
The
Company does not generally require collateral or other security to support
customer receivables. Accounts receivable are carried at their estimated
collectible amounts. Accounts receivable are periodically evaluated for
collectibility and the allowance for doubtful accounts is adjusted accordingly.
Management determines collectibility based on their experience and knowledge
of
the customers.
Goodwill
and Intangible Assets
The
Company accounts for goodwill and intangible assets in accordance with Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations”
(“SFAS 141”) and SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS
142”). Under SFAS 142, goodwill and intangibles that are deemed to have
indefinite lives are no longer amortized but, instead, are to be reviewed at
least annually for impairment. Application of the goodwill impairment test
requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assigning
assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill to reporting
units, and determining the fair value. Significant judgments required to
estimate the fair value of reporting units include estimating future cash flows,
determining appropriate discount rates and other assumptions. Changes in these
estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair
value and/or goodwill impairment for each reporting unit. Intangible assets
will
be amortized over their estimated useful lives.
As
of
March 31, 2008, there were no circumstances which would have necessitated an
interim analysis of its goodwill and intangible assets in accordance with SFAS
142.
Income
Taxes
In
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting
for Income Taxes, the Company uses an asset and liability approach for financial
accounting and reporting for income taxes. The basic principles of accounting
for income taxes are: (a) a current tax liability or asset is recognized for
the
estimated taxes payable or refundable on tax returns for the current year;
(b) a
deferred tax liability or asset is recognized for the estimated future tax
effects attributable to temporary differences and carryforwards; (c) the
measurement of current and deferred tax liabilities and assets is based on
provisions of the enacted tax law and the effects of future changes in tax
laws
or rates are not anticipated; and (d) the measurement of deferred tax assets
is
reduced, if necessary, by the amount of any tax benefits that, based on
available evidence, are not expected to be realized.
Effective
January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation
Number 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of
FASB Statement No. 109,” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold
and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and
measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.
For
those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not
to
be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Differences between tax
positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and the benefit
recognized and measured pursuant to the interpretation are referred to as
“unrecognized benefits”. A liability is recognized (or amount of net operating
loss carry forward or amount of tax refundable is reduced) for an unrecognized
tax benefit because it represents an enterprise’s potential future obligation to
the taxing authority for a tax position that was not recognized as a result
of
applying the provisions of FIN 48.
In
accordance with FIN 48, interest costs related to unrecognized tax benefits
are
required to be calculated (if applicable) and would be classified as “Interest
expense” in the consolidated statements of operations. Penalties would be
recognized as a component of “General and administrative expenses.”
In
many
cases, the Company’s tax positions are related to tax years that remain subject
to examination by relevant tax authorities. The Company files income tax returns
in the United States (federal) and in various state and local jurisdictions.
In
most instances, the Company is not subject to federal, state and local income
tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2004.
The
adoption of the provisions of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the
Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations. As of
December 31, 2007, no liability for unrecognized tax benefits was required
to be
recorded.
The
ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation
of
future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences
become deductible. The Company considers projected future taxable income and
tax
planning strategies in making this assessment. At present, the Company does
not
have a sufficient history of income to conclude that it is more likely than
not
that the Company will be able to realize all of its tax benefits in the near
future and therefore a valuation allowance was established for the full value
of
the deferred tax asset.
At
March
31,
2008
,
the
Company had federal net operating loss (“NOL”) carry forwards for income tax
purposes of approximately $21,000,000. These NOL carry forwards expire through
2027 but are limited due to section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “382
Limitation”) which states that the NOL of any corporation for any year after a
greater than 50% change in control has occurred shall not exceed certain
prescribed limitations. As a result of the Initial Public Offering described
in
Note 3 Debt Resolve’s NOL carry forwards are subject to the 382 Limitation which
limits the utilization of those NOL carry forwards to approximately $650,000
per
year. The remaining federal NOL carry forwards may be used by the Company to
offset future taxable income prior to their expiration. For First Performance,
Section 382 will limit their pre-acquisition NOL’s to approximately $35,000 per
year, due to the acquisition described in Note 5. The remaining federal
NOL carry forwards may be used by the Company to offset future taxable income
prior to their expiration. For the year ended December 31, 2007 the
difference between the Federal statutory rate and the effective rate was due
primarily to State taxes, non-deductibility of goodwill from the First
Performance acquisition and change in the valuation allowance of approximately
$4.2 million.
A
valuation allowance will be maintained until sufficient positive evidence exists
to support the reversal of any portion or all of the valuation allowance net
of
appropriate reserves. Should the Company continue to be profitable in future
periods with a supportable trend, the valuation allowance will be reversed
accordingly.
Stock-based
compensation
The
Company accounts for stock options and warrants issued under stock-based
compensation plans under the recognition and measurement principles of SFAS
No.
123(R) (“Share Based Payment”). Total stock-based compensation expense for the
three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 amounted to $1,127,369 and $323,088,
respectively.
The
fair
value of each option and warrant granted to employees and non-employees is
estimated as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The
estimated fair value of the options granted is recognized as an expense over
the
requisite service period of the award, which is generally the option vesting
period. As of March 31, 2008, total unrecognized compensation cost amounted
to
$283,646, all of which is expected to be recognized in 2008 and
2009.
The
Company accounts for the expected life of share options in accordance with
the
“simplified” method provisions of Securities and Exchange Commission Staff
Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 110 (December 2007), which enables the use of
the simplified method for “plain vanilla” share options as defined in SAB No.
107.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
September
2006
,
the
FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157
provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities.
It also responds to investors’ requests for expanded information about the
extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the
information used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value
measurements on earnings. SFAS 157 applies whenever other standards
require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value, and
does
not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. SFAS 157 is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
November
15, 2007
and has
been adopted by the Company in 2008 without material effect on the Company’s
consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In
February
2007
,
the
FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities (“SFAS 159”) including an amendment of FASB Statement No.
115. SFAS 159 permits companies to choose to measure certain financial
instruments and certain other items 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. The Company adopted SFAS 159
beginning in the first quarter of 2008, without material effect on the Company’s
consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In
February
2008
,
the
FASB issued Staff Position No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No.
157
(“FSP 157-2”) that defers the effective date of applying the provisions of SFAS
157 to the fair value measurement of non-financial assets and non-financial
liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in
the
financial statements on a recurring basis (or at least annually), until fiscal
years beginning after
November
15, 2008
.
The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of FSP 157-2
will have on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition,
but
does not expect it to have a material impact.

4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure
Controls and Procedures
We
evaluated the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures
to
determine whether they are effective in ensuring that we disclose required
information in a timely manner and in accordance with the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and the rules and regulations promulgated by
the SEC. Management, including our President and Chief Financial Officer and
our
Chief Executive Officer supervised and participated in such evaluation.
Management concluded, based on such review, that our disclosure controls and
procedures, as defined by Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), were
not
effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q. The ineffectiveness of these disclosure controls is due to the matters
described below in “Internal Control over Financial Reporting.”
Limitations
on the Effectiveness of Controls
We
believe that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot
provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met,
and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control
issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.
Our
disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide a reasonable
assurance of achieving their objectives and our President and Chief Financial
Officer and Chief Executive Officer have concluded that such controls and
procedures are not effective at the "reasonable assurance" level. The
ineffectiveness of these disclosure controls is due to the matters described
below in “Internal Control over Financial Reporting.”
Internal
Control over Financial Reporting
The
Company’s independent registered public accounting firm has reported to our
audit committee certain matters involving internal controls that this firm
considered to be reportable conditions and a material weakness, under standards
established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The
reportable conditions and material weakness relate to a limited segregation
of
duties at the Company. Segregation of duties within our company is limited
due
to the small number of employees that are assigned to positions that involve
the
processing of financial information. Specifically, certain key financial
accounting and reporting personnel had an expansive scope of duties that allowed
for the creation, review, approval and processing of financial data without
independent review and authorization for preparation of consolidation schedules
and resulting financial statements and related disclosures. We did not maintain
a sufficient depth of personnel with an appropriate level of accounting
knowledge, experience and training in the selection and application of GAAP
commensurate with financial reporting requirements. Accordingly, we place undue
reliance on the finance team at corporate headquarters, specifically our
President and Chief Financial Officer. Accordingly, management has determined
that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness. This material
weakness could result in material misstatements of significant accounts and
disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to our interim or
annual consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or
detected. In addition, due to limited staffing, the Company is not always able
to detect minor errors or omissions in reporting.
Going
forward, management anticipates that additional staff will be necessary to
mitigate these weaknesses, as well as to implement other planned improvements.
Additional staff will enable us to document and apply transactional and periodic
controls procedures, permit a better review and approval process and improve
quality of financial reporting. However, the potential addition of new staff
is
contingent on obtaining additional financing, and there is no assurance that
the
Company will be able to do so.
Management
believes that its financial statements for the three months ended March 31,
2008
and 2007, fairly present, in all material respects, its financial condition
and
results of operations.
During
the three months ended March 31, 2008, there were no changes to our internal
control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
