DEBT RESOLVE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 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 and nine months ended September 30, 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 unaudited 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 September 30, 2008, the Company has entered into four lines of credit with related parties with current outstanding balances of $1,198,623.  Also as of September 30, 2008, the Company also issued notes to unaffiliated investors for a total of $1,253,000 and obtained bank loans of $250,000.  Subsequent to September 30, 2008, the Company has received approximately $100,000 in net cash proceeds from a loan and completed a small private placement for net cash proceeds of $25,000.  Also, an officer has loaned the Company approximately $184,180 as a result of paying certain bills on behalf of the Company.  Management has informed these note holders that some or all of these loans would be re-paid at the next significant funding of $5 million or more 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 Company 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 requested an extension until May 30, 2008 by which to complete the funding.  Thereafter, Harmonie requested an additional extension until June 20, 2008.  Although the Company declined to give Harmonie any additional formal extensions, the agreement has not been formally terminated.  Harmonie continues to confirm their commitment to fund but has failed to do so, nor has it offered any proof of funds nor provided a firm funding date.  As of November 14, 2008, the Company has received no funding from Harmonie and believes that it is very unlikely to receive such funding.  The Company expects to begin legal action shortly.
 
Management is actively pursuing additional debt and equity financing.  Management believes that it will be successful in obtaining additional financing; however no assurance can be provided that the Company will be able to do so.  If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional funds, 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 such efforts will be successful.  In the event that the Company is not able to raise sufficient funding, the Company may have to seek bankruptcy protection.

The accompanying unaudited 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 all subsidiaries, including DRV Capital, EAR, First Performance and First Performance Recovery 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.

Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities

Included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities as of September 30, 2008 are accrued professional fees of $1,297,408 and accrued closing costs for First Performance of $1,350,931. The Company owed 12 vendors a total of $1,871,873 at September 30, 2008, each of whom was individually owed in excess of 10% of total Company assets.

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 September 30, 2008, total unrecognized compensation cost amounted to $50,116, all of which is expected to be recognized in 2008 and 2009.  Total stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 amounted to $367,326 and $354,821, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 amounted to $2,048,106 and $2,323,069, 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:

 
Nine months ended
September 30,
 
2008
2007
Risk free interest rate range
 2.10-3.50%

Dividend yield

Expected volatility

81.1%-96.7%
Expected life in years

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 8,112,451 and 5,453,265, respectively at September 30, 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 177,938 and 232,106 warrants, respectively, as of September 30, 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 was an accounts receivable management agency, formerly with operations in Las Vegas, Nevada and Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

The operations of First Performance from January 19, 2007 through September 30, 2007 are included in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations.  The following table presents the Company’s unaudited pro forma combined results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, as if First Performance had been acquired at the beginning of the period.

NOTE 10.  ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK
 
In connection with the Company’s sale of a $300,000 convertible debenture on July 30, 2008, the Company issued 450,000 common shares as treasury stock and granted a security interest in the shares to the debenture holder.  The Company excludes the treasury shares from the number of outstanding shares used to determine its net loss per share.
 
On September 18, two share issuances occurred.  The first issuance was 225,000 shares to a vendor to provide certain services.  The second issuance was 50,000 shares to an investor for forbearance on a note.
 
NOTE 11.    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

Litigation

Our First Performance subsidiary settled an employment claim with a former employee for approximately $25,000.  Due to the closure of First Performance and the cessation of revenue generating activities, settlement was never paid as First Performance had no funds with which to effect settlement.  The claimant is attempting to enjoin Debt Resolve to get it to pay the claim, plus damages related to the non-payment of the original settlement.  With damages and attorney’s fees, the claimant is attempting to compel satisfaction for the adjusted amount of $110,000.  This potential action would occur in Florida.
 
The Company has received complaints from several vendors relating to unpaid bills.  The total amount of bills subject to this litigation is approximately $430,000.  Judgment to enforce payment of these obligations prior to the Company being able to generate adequate funding to continue operations as well as pay these obligations would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
 
The Company sent a demand letter to Compass Bank requesting $7 million as a result of the failure of Harmonie International to complete funding of its stock purchase.  Compass had sent the Company a letter verifying that funds were in transit.  Compass filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas seeking a declaratory judgment that Compass is not liable for Harmonie’s failure to fund.  In its complaint, Compass admits fraud by a former employee in this matter.  The Company has engaged Texas counsel to defend this matter and counterclaim for additional damages based on the decline in the Company’s stock price as a result of Harmonie’s failure to fund based on Compass providing proof of funds in transit.
 
From time to time, the Company may be 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.
 
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 September 30, 2008, accrued rent payable totaled $12,602.

The Company also leased 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 September 30, 2008, there was no accrued rent payable related to this lease as a credit totaling $29,941 was taken at the close of the business in June.  Following the closure of First Performance, the Company is working with the landlord to terminate this lease.  At June 30, First Performance took a charge for the remaining balance due on the lease of $1,394,930 due to closing the business, reduced by the credit for the accrued rent payable to a balance of $1,364,989.

Rent expense for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was $31,916 and $140,177, respectively, and rent expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was $1,600,886 and $413,652, respectively.

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.  The restricted shares were valued at $0.80 per share, the closing price on the date of the grant.  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 nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company recorded an expense relating to the option grant in the amount of $210,000. As of September 30, 2008, the Company owes $93,750 in salary under the agreement.
 
NOTE 12.  RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:
 
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.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements”, which is an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin (“ARB”) No. 51.  This statement clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements.  This statement changes the way the consolidated income statement is presented, thus requiring consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both parent and the noncontrolling interest.  This statement is effective for the fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  Based on current conditions, the Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 160 to have a significant impact on its results of operations or financial position.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.”  This Statement changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows.  Based on current conditions, the Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 161 to have a significant impact on its results of operations or financial position.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.”  This Statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States (the GAAP hierarchy).  This Statement will not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60.”  The scope of this Statement is limited to financial guarantee insurance (and reinsurance) contracts, as described in this Statement, issued by enterprises included within the scope of Statement 60. Accordingly, this Statement does not apply to financial guarantee contracts issued by enterprises excluded from the scope of Statement 60 or to some insurance contracts that seem similar to financial guarantee insurance contracts issued by insurance enterprises (such as mortgage guaranty insurance or credit insurance on trade receivables). This Statement also does not apply to financial guarantee insurance contracts that are derivative instruments included within the scope of FASB Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” This Statement will not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 13.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 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 September 30, 2008.
 
Certain Company directors and an officer personally guarantee the Company’s notes payable and its’ bank loan (Note 4).

NOTE 14.  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.  On June 10, 2008, and having not been funded by Harmonie International LLC, the Exchange informed the Company that it was going to proceed with the delisting.  In accordance with Exchange rules, the Company requested a hearing to contest the intention to de-list the Company from the Exchange.  The hearing was held on August 27, 2008.  On October 3, 2008, de-listing of the Company occurred, and the Company now trades on the Over-the-counter Bulletin Board.
 
NOTE 15.  CHARGES RELATED TO THE CLOSURE OF FIRST PERFORMANCE:

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 personal credit and 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 healthcare, with its low balances due on co-pays and deductibles, will be an ideal market for our system.  We believe that expanding to more recently past-due portfolios of any 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 these types 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 or a percentage of amounts recovered.  Last year, we announced the signing of our first European customer, a U.K.-based large collection agency.  However, we no longer have this client as a customer.  We may incur additional costs, which we cannot anticipate at this time, if we expand into Canada and other countries.
 
20

 
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, loans from a local bank and loans and convertible notes from other unaffiliated investors.  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 unaudited 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 was a collection agency that represents both regional and national credit grantors from such diverse industries as retail, bankcard, oil cards, mortgage and auto.  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.  We also bought First Performance to use it as a laboratory to design and develop further enhancements of our DebtResolve system in an active operating environment.  This effort has been successful, and a number of new enhancements are now in our pipeline.  As a result, we no longer needed First Performance for this purpose and decided to close it effective June 30, 2008 to concentrate fully on our core business and to reduce cash expenses from funding the First Performance losses.  As a result, the activity for First Performance and First Performance Recovery has been included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations.

We have historically raised funds through the sale of debt and equity instruments. As of September 30, 2008, we have entered into four lines of credit with related parties with current outstanding balances of $1,198,623.  Also as of September 30, 2008, we also issued notes to unaffiliated investors for a total of $1,253,000 and obtained bank loans of $250,000.  In addition, subsequent to September 30, 2008, we have received approximately $125,000 in cash proceeds from a private placement of common stock and a loan.  Management has informed the 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 requested an extension until May 30, 2008 by which to complete the funding.  Thereafter, Harmonie requested an additional extension until June 20, 2008.  Although the Company declined to give Harmonie any additional formal extensions, the agreement has not been terminated.  Harmonie continues to confirm their commitment to fund but has failed to do so, nor has it offered any proof of funds nor provided a firm funding date.  As of November 14, 2008, the Company has received no funding from Harmonie and believes that it is very unlikely to receive such funding.  The Company intends to pursue legal action in the near future.
 
We are actively pursuing additional debt/equity financing.  We believe that we will be successful in obtaining additional financing, however no assurance can be provided that we will be able to do so.  If we are unable to raise sufficient additional funds, 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 at raising additional financing will be successful.  In the event that our fundraising efforts do not succeed, the Company may have to seek bankruptcy protection.

Amortization of deferred debt discount.  Amortization expense of $661,663 was incurred for the nine months ended September 30, 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

During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the largest items affecting operating cash were the adjustments for non-cash stock based compensation and the amortization of deferred debt discount, as well as the accrual of payables not able to be paid due to insufficient cash on hand during the period.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, both non-cash stock based compensation and the accrual of unpaid payables were also significant adjustments to operating cash, as well as the expenses incurred during the Creditors Interchange transaction under “Terminated acquisition costs”.
 
Significantly more financing activity occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 because there was cash still on hand from the IPO during the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, significant cash resources were used for the purchase and operation of First Performance and the start-up and operation of DRV Capital.  Cash used for operating activities in discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 related to the operations of First Performance.
 
We have historically raised funds through the sale of debt and equity instruments.  As of September 30, 2008, we have entered into four lines of credit with related parties with current outstanding balances of $1,198,623.  Also as of September 30, 2008, we also issued notes to unaffiliated investors for a total of $1,253,000 and obtained bank loans of $250,000.  In addition, subsequent to September 30, 2008, we have received approximately $125,000 in cash proceeds from a loan and a small private placement.  Also, an officer has paid bills on behalf of us in the amount of $184,180, as of September 30, 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 requested an extension until May 30, 2008 by which to complete the funding.  Thereafter, Harmonie requested an additional extension until June 20, 2008.  Although the Company declined to give Harmonie any additional formal extensions, the agreement has not been terminated.  Harmonie continues to confirm their commitment to fund but has failed to do so, nor has it offered any proof of funds nor provided a firm funding date.  As of November 14, 2008, we have received no funding from Harmonie and believes that it is very unlikely to receive such funding.  We intend to pursue legal remedies shortly.

We are actively pursuing additional debt/equity financing.  We believe that we will be successful in obtaining additional financing, however no assurance can be provided that we will be able to do so.  If we are unable to raise sufficient additional funds, 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.  If we are not able to raise adequate funding, we may have to seek bankruptcy protection.
 
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 100% of the balance of accounts receivable at September 30, 2008 consists of only two customers.  At September 30, 2008, accounts receivable from continuing activities from the two accounts amounted to approximately $11,880 (85%) and $2,086 (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.
 
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 September 30, 2008 and 2007 amounted to $367,326 and $354,821, respectively.  Total stock-based compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 amounted to $2,048,106 and $2,323,069, 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 September 30, 2008, total unrecognized compensation cost amounted to $50,116, 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.
 
Charges related to closure of First Performance
 
At June 30, 2008, due to the closure of First Performance, the following charges were incurred and are reflected in the results of discontinued operations:
 
Write-off of Fixed Assets   $ 87,402  
Write-off of Intangibles     176,545  
Accrual of final lease costs     1,364,458  
         
Total charges   $ 1,628,405

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
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.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements”, which is an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin (“ARB”) No. 51.  This statement clarifies that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements.  This statement changes the way the consolidated income statement is presented, thus requiring consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both parent and the non-controlling interest.  This statement is effective for the fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  Based on current conditions, the Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 160 to have a significant impact on its results of operations or financial position.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.”  This Statement changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows.  Based on current conditions, the Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 161 to have a significant impact on its results of operations or financial position.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.”  This Statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States (the GAAP hierarchy).  This Statement will not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60.”  The scope of this Statement is limited to financial guarantee insurance (and reinsurance) contracts, as described in this Statement, issued by enterprises included within the scope of Statement 60. Accordingly, this Statement does not apply to financial guarantee contracts issued by enterprises excluded from the scope of Statement 60 or to some insurance contracts that seem similar to financial guarantee insurance contracts issued by insurance enterprises (such as mortgage guaranty insurance or credit insurance on trade receivables). This Statement also does not apply to financial guarantee insurance contracts that are derivative instruments included within the scope of FASB Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” This Statement will not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
Statement Relating to Forward-Looking Statements
 
This report contains forward-looking statements that are based on our beliefs as well as assumptions and information currently available to us.  When used in this report, the words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “potential” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.   These statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including, without limitation, the risks and uncertainties concerning our recent research and development activities; the risks and uncertainties concerning acceptance of our services and products, if and when fully developed, by our potential customers; our present financial condition and the risks and uncertainties concerning the availability of additional capital as and when required; the risks and uncertainties concerning the Limited License Agreement with Messrs. Brofman and Burchetta; the risks and uncertainties concerning our dependence on our key executives; the risks and uncertainties concerning technological changes and the competition for our services and products; the risks and uncertainties concerning general economic conditions; and the risks and uncertainties described in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007, filed on April 16, 2008, in the section labeled “Risk Factors.”  Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated, or projected.  We caution you not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, all of which speak only as of the date of this report.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

None
 
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 and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, fairly present, in all material respects, its financial condition and results of operations.  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 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.

CEO and CFO Certifications
 
Appearing as Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 to this report are “Certifications” of the CEO and CFO.  The certifications are required pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Section 302 Certifications”).
 
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

Our First Performance subsidiary settled an employment claim with a former employee for approximately $25,000.  Due to the closure of First Performance and the cessation of revenue generating activities, settlement was never paid as First Performance had no funds with which to effect settlement.  The claimant is attempting to enjoin Debt Resolve to get it to pay the claim, plus damages related to the non-payment of the original settlement.  With damages and attorney’s fees, the claimant is attempting to compel satisfaction for the adjusted amount of $110,000.  This potential action would occur in Florida.
 
The Company has received complaints from several vendors relating to unpaid bills.  The total amount of bills subject to this litigation is approximately $430,000.  Judgment to enforce payment of these obligations prior to the Company being able to generate adequate funding to continue operations as well as pay these obligations would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
 
The Company sent a demand letter to Compass Bank requesting $7 million as a result of the failure of Harmonie International to complete funding of its stock purchase.  Compass had sent the Company a letter verifying that funds were in transit.  Compass filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas seeking a declaratory judgment that Compass is not liable for Harmonie’s failure to fund.  In its complaint, Compass admits fraud by a former employee in this matter.  The Company has engaged Texas counsel to defend this matter and counterclaim for additional damages based on the decline in the Company’s stock price as a result of Harmonie’s failure to fund based on Compass providing proof of funds in transit.
 
From time to time, the Company may be 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.
