DEBT RESOLVE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2008
(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.

NOTE 2. 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:

 
 
Three months ended
March 31,
 
2008
2007
Risk free interest rate range
2.10-3.21%
4.52-4.84%
Dividend yield
0%
0%
Expected volatility
81.1%-
81.1%-96.7%
Expected life in years
3-7
3-7

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.
 
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.
 
7

 
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.
 
NOTE 3. 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.
 
The operations of First Performance from January 19, 2007 through March 31, 2007 are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The following table presents the Company’s unaudited pro forma combined results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007, as if First Performance had been acquired at the beginning of the period.

NOTE 4. NOTES PAYABLE:
 
On November 30, 2007, an unaffiliated investor loaned the Company $100,000 on a 90-day short term note. The note carries 12% interest per annum, with interest payable monthly in cash. The principal balance outstanding will be due at any time upon 30 days written notice, subject to mandatory prepayment (without penalty) of principal and interest, in whole or in part, from the net cash proceeds of any public or private, equity or debt financing made by Debt Resolve. The note matured on February 28, 2008 and was extended to May 31, 2008 for aggregate extension fees of $15,000. In conjunction with the note the Company also issued a warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.25 per share with an expiration date of November 30, 2012. The note was recorded net of a debt discount of $44,100, based on the relative fair value of the warrant under the Black-Scholes pricing model. The debt discount was amortized over the initial term of the note. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company recorded amortization of the debt discount related to this note of $29,400. This note is guaranteed by Mssrs. Mooney and Burchetta, a Director and a Director/Officer of the Company, respectively.

On December 21, 2007, an unaffiliated investor loaned the Company $125,000 on an 18 month note with a maturity date of June 21, 2009. The note carries interest at a rate of 12% per annum, with interest accruing and payable at maturity. The note is secured by the assets of the Company. In conjunction with the note, the Company granted to the investor a warrant to purchase 37,500 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.07 and an expiration date of December 21, 2012. The note was recorded net of a deferred debt discount of $19,375, based on the relative fair value of the warrant under the Black-Scholes pricing model. Such discount is being amortized over the term of the note. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company recorded amortization of the debt discount related to this note of $3,229. This note is guaranteed by Mr. Burchetta.

On December 30, 2007, an unaffiliated investor loaned the Company $200,000 on an 18 month note with a maturity date of June 30, 2009. The note carries interest at a rate of 12% per annum, with interest accruing and payable at maturity. The note is secured by the assets of the Company. In conjunction with this note, the Company also issued a warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 and an expiration date of December 30, 2012. The note was recorded net of a deferred debt discount of $51,600, based on the relative fair value of the warrant under the Black-Scholes pricing model. Such discount is being amortized over the term of the note. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company recorded amortization of the debt discount related to this note of $8,600. This note is guaranteed by Mr. Burchetta.

On January 25, 2008, an unaffiliated investor loaned the Company $100,000 on an 18 month note with a maturity date of July 25, 2009. The note carries interest at a rate of 12% interest per annum, with interest accruing and payable at maturity. The note is secured by the assets of the Company. In conjunction with the note, the Company also issued a warrant to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 and an expiration date of January 24, 2013.

In December 2006, the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary of DRV Capital, EAR Capital I, LLC, for the limited purpose of purchasing and holding pools of debt funded in part by borrowings from Sheridan Asset Management, LLC (“Sheridan”).

NOTE 11. 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.
 
NOTE 12. 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 March 31, 2008:

NOTE 13. 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.

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.

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.
 
20

 
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.
 
21

 
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.

Item 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.
