Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements

Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008 and 2007
(Unaudited)

The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2008, the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 have been prepared by us without audit.  In the opinion of Management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly in all material respects our financial position as of September 30, 2008, results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.

The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected or the full year.

This report should be read in conjunction with our Form 10-KSB for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.

1.  BACKGROUND AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS:
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Anchor Funding Services, Inc. (formerly BTHC XI, Inc.) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Anchor Funding Services, LLC (“the Company”).  In April of 2007, BTHC XI, Inc. changed its name to Anchor Funding Services, Inc.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 
Anchor Funding Services, Inc. is a Delaware corporation.  Anchor Funding Services, Inc. has no operations; substantially all operations of the Company are the responsibility of Anchor Funding Services, LLC.

 
Anchor Funding Services, LLC is a North Carolina limited liability company.    Anchor Funding Services, LLC was formed for the purpose of providing factoring and back office services to businesses located throughout the United States of America.

 
On January 31, 2007, BTHC XI, Inc acquired Anchor Funding Services, LLC by exchanging shares in BTHC XI, Inc. for all the outstanding membership units of Anchor Funding Services, LLC (See Note 7).   Anchor Funding Services, LLC is considered the surviving entity therefore these financial statements include the accounts of BTHC XI, Inc. and Anchor Funding Services, LLC since January 1, 2007.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 
Revenue Recognition – The Company charges fees to its customers in one of two ways as follows:

1)  
Fixed Transaction Fee. Fixed transaction fees are a fixed percentage of the purchased invoice.  This percentage does not change from the date the purchased invoice is funded until the date the purchased invoice is collected.

2)  
Variable Transaction Fee.  Variable transaction fees are variable based on the length of time the purchased invoice is outstanding.   As specified in its contract with the client, the Company charges variable increasing percentages of the purchased invoice as time elapses from the purchase date to the collection date.

 
For both Fixed and Variable Transaction fees, the Company recognizes revenue by using one of two methods depending on the type of customer.  For new customers the Company recognizes revenue using the cost recovery method.  For established customers the Company recognizes revenue using the accrual method.

 
Under the cost recovery method, all revenue is recognized upon collection of the entire amount of purchased accounts receivable.

 
The Company considers new customers to be accounts whose initial funding has been within the last three months or less.  Management believes it needs three months of history to reasonably estimate a customer’s collection period and accrued revenues.  If three months of history has a limited number of transactions, the cost recovery method will continue to be used until a reasonable revenue estimate can be made based on additional history.  Once the Company obtains sufficient historical experience, it will begin using the accrual method to recognize revenue.

 
For established customers the Company uses the accrual method of accounting.  The Company applies this method by multiplying the historical yield, for each customer, times the amount advanced on each purchased invoice outstanding for that customer, times the portion of a year that the advance is outstanding.  The customers’ historical yield is based on the Company’s last six months of experience with the customer along with the Company’s experience in the customer’s industry, if applicable.

 
The amounts recorded as revenue under the accrual method described above are estimates.  As purchased invoices are collected, the Company records the appropriate adjustments to record the actual revenue earned on each purchased invoice. These adjustments from the estimated revenue to the actual revenue have not been material.

Retained Interest in Purchased Accounts Receivable – Retained interest in purchased accounts receivable represents the gross amount of invoices purchased from factoring customers less amounts maintained in a reserve account and collected but unearned fee income, plus earned but uncollected fee income.  The Company purchases a customer’s accounts receivable and advances them a percentage of the invoice total.  The difference between the purchase price and amount advanced is maintained in a reserve account.  The reserve account is used to offset any potential losses the Company may have related to the purchased accounts receivable.

The Company’s factoring and security agreements with their customers include various recourse provisions requiring the customers to repurchase accounts receivable if certain conditions, as defined in the factoring and security agreement, are met.

Senior management reviews the status of uncollected purchased accounts receivable monthly to determine if any are uncollectible.  The Company has a security interest in the accounts receivable purchased and on a case-by-case basis, may have additional collateral.  The Company files security interests in the property securing their advances.  Access to this collateral is dependent upon the laws and regulations in each state where the security interest is filed.  Additionally, the Company has varying types of personal guarantees from their factoring customers relating to the purchased accounts receivable.

Management considered approximately $36,000 and $31,000 of their September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 retained interest in purchased accounts receivable to be uncollectible.

Management believes the fair value of the retained interest in purchased accounts receivable approximates its recorded value because of the relatively short term nature of the purchased receivable and the fact that the majority of these invoices have been subsequently collected.

 
Property and Equipment – Property and equipment, consisting primarily of furniture and fixtures, computers and software, are stated at cost.  Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the depreciable assets using the straight-line method.

 
Advertising Costs – The Company charges advertising costs to expense as incurred.  Total advertising costs were as follows:
 
For the nine months ending September 30,
         
2008
   
2007
 
         
$ 309,000     $ 151,700  
             
 
For the quarters ending September 30,
 
             
2008
   
2007
 
             
$ 78,000     $ 64,800
 

 
10

 
 
 
Earnings per Share – The Company computes earnings per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128 “Earnings Per Share.”  Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the earnings for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Dilutive earnings per share includes the potential impact of dilutive securities, such as convertible preferred stock, stock options and stock warrants.  The dilutive effect of stock options and warrants is computed using the treasury stock method, which assumes the repurchase of common shares at the average market price.

In accordance with SFAS No. 128, options and warrants will have a dilutive effect, under the treasury method, only when the average price of common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the options or warrants. During the period under review, the average price of common stock was less than the exercise price of the options and warrants.

Also in accordance with SFAS No. 128, if there is a year-to-date loss from continuing operations, potential common shares should not be included in the computation of diluted earnings per share. During the period under review, there was a year-to-date loss.

 
Stock Based Compensation - In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 123(R), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” SFAS No. 123(R) establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. This statement focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. SFAS No. 123(R) requires that the fair value of such equity instruments be recognized as an expense in the historical financial statements as services are performed. Prior to SFAS No. 123(R), only certain pro forma disclosures of fair value were required. The provisions of this statement were effective for the first interim reporting period that began after December 15, 2005. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No.123(R) in the first quarter of fiscal 2006.

 
See Note 8 for the SFAS No. 123(R) impact on the operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007.

 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments – The carrying value of cash equivalents, retained interest in purchased accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates their fair value.

 
Cash and cash equivalents – Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of highly liquid cash investment funds with original maturities of three months or less when acquired.

 
Income Taxes – Effective January 31, 2007, the Company became a “C” corporation for income tax purposes.  In a “C” corporation income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements plus deferred income taxes related to the differences between financial statement and taxable income.

 
The primary differences between financial statement and taxable income for the Company are as follows:

·  
Compensation costs related to the issuance of stock options
·  
Use of the reserve method of accounting for bad debts
·  
Differences in bases of property and equipment between financial and income tax reporting
·  
Net operating loss carryforwards.
 
11

 
The deferred tax asset represents the future tax return consequences of utilizing these items.   Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation reserve, when management is uncertain if the net deferred tax assets will ever be realized.

Prior to January 31, 2007, Anchor Funding Services, LLC was treated as a partnership for Federal and state income tax purposes.  Its earnings and losses were included in the personal tax returns of its members; therefore, no provision or benefit from income taxes has been included in those financial statements.

In July 2006, FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of SFAS No. 109” (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions.  This Interpretation requires that the Company recognize in its consolidated financial statements, the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position.  The provisions of FIN 48 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2007.

The Company applied FIN 48 to all its tax positions, including tax positions taken and those expected to be taken, under the transition provision of the interpretation.  As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recognized no increases or decreases in its recorded tax liabilities or 2006 retained earnings.

For the nine months and quarters ending September 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company recognized no liability for uncertain tax positions.

The Company classifies interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits with interest expense.  Penalties accrued on unrecognized tax benefits are classified with operating expenses.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements – In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS 157 provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities.  It clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions.  SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.  The adoption of SFAS 157 does not currently have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.”  SFAS 159 provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at estimated fair value.  Most of the provisions of SFAS No. 159 are elective; however, the amendment to SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, applies to all entities that own trading and available-for-sale securities.  The fair value option created by SFAS No. 159 permits an entity to measure eligible items at fair value as of specified election dates.  The fair value option (a) may generally be applied instrument by instrument, (b) is irrevocable unless a new election date occurs, and must be applied to the entire instrument and not to only a portion of the instrument.

SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007.  Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of the previous fiscal year provided that the entity makes that choice in the first 120 days of the fiscal year, has not yet issued financial statements for any interim period of such year, and also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 159.  The adoption of SFAS 159 does not currently have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

On December 4, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141(R) “Business Combinations”.  SFAS 141R modifies the accounting for business combinations and requires, with limited exceptions, the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize 100 percent of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date fair value.  In addition, SFAS 141R limits the recognition of acquisition-related restructuring liabilities and requires the following: the expense of acquisition-related and restructuring costs and the acquirer to record contingent consideration measured at the acquisition date at fair value.  SFAS 141R is effective for new acquisitions consummated on or after January 1, 2009.  Early adoption is not permitted.  The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this standard.

On December 4, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements” (SFAS 160).  SFAS 160 requires all entities to report noncontrolling (i.e. minority interests) in subsidiaries as equity in the Consolidated Financial Statements and to account for transactions between an entity and noncontrolling owners as equity transactions if the parent retains its controlling financial interest in the subsidiary.  SFAS 160 also requires expanded disclosure that distinguishes between the interests of a parent’s owners and the interests of a noncontrolling owners of a subsidiary.  SFAS 160 is effective for the Company’s financial statements for the year beginning January 1, 2009 and early adoption is not permitted.  The adoption of SFAS 160 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Executive Overview

Our business objective is to create a well-recognized, national financial services firm for small businesses providing accounts receivable funding (factoring), outsourcing of accounts receivable management including collections and the risk of customer default. For certain service businesses, Anchor also provides back office support including payroll, payroll tax compliance and invoice processing services. We provide our services to clients nationwide and may expand our services internationally in the future. We plan to achieve our growth objectives as described below through a combination of strategic and add-on acquisitions of other factoring and related specialty finance firms that serve small businesses in the United States and Canada and internal growth through mass media marketing initiatives. Our principal operations are located in Charlotte, North Carolina and we maintain an executive office in Boca Raton, Florida which includes its sales and marketing functions.

Summary of Critical Accounting Policies

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to credit provisions, intangible assets, contingencies and litigation and income taxes.  Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Management believes the following critical accounting policies, among others, reflect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.

Results of Operations
 
Three Months Ended September 30, 2008 vs. Three Months Ended September 30, 2007

Finance revenues increased 177.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $338,356 compared to $121,996 for the comparable period of the prior year.   The change in revenue was primarily due to an increase in the number of clients. As of September 30, 2008, the Company had 88 active clients compared to 13 clients as of September 30, 2007. 

Net interest income decreased by $45,870 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $5,087 compared to $ 50,957for the comparable period of the prior year. This change is primarily due to the decrease in cash on hand due to the Company’s using its cash to fund its purchasing of clients’ accounts receivable.

The Company had a provision for credit losses of $226 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to a provision for credit losses for the three months ended September 30, 2007 of $22,000.

Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2008 were $583,644 compared to $380,074 for the comparable period of the prior year, a 53.5% increase.  This increase is primarily attributable to the Company’s incurring additional costs for increased payroll, marketing, professional, rent, insurance and other operating expenses to grow Anchor’s core business, build an infrastructure to support anticipated growth and operate as a publicly reported company.  In addition, the Company began leasing its own offices in Charlotte on June 1, 2007 and opened an Executive and Sales office in Boca Raton, Florida in August, 2007. Rent expense increased by $21,371 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $34,845 compared to $ 13,474 for the comparable period of the prior year.

Net Loss for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was $240,427 compared to $225,121 for the comparable period of the prior year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flow Summary
 
Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash used by operating activities was $2,822,924 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and was primarily due to our net loss for the period and cash used in acquiring operating assets, primarily to purchase accounts receivable. Cash used for operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to an increase of $1,800,239 in retained interest in accounts receivable. Increases and decreases in prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued payroll and accrued expenses were primarily the result of timing of payments and receipts.

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

Cash Flows from Investing Activities
 
For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, net cash used in investing activities was $27,147 for the purchase of property and equipment.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, net cash used in investing activities was $85,367 for the purchase of property and equipment.
 
Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $5,455,964 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. This was primarily the result of $6,712,500 of proceeds from the sale of Preferred Stock offset by $1,209,383 of payments related to costs of the sale.

Between January 31, 2007 and April 5, 2007, we raised $6,712,500 in gross proceeds from the sale of 1,342,500 shares of our Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock to expand our operations both internally and through possible acquisitions as more fully described under “Description of Business.”
 
Capital Resources

We previously had the availability of a $1 million line of credit through September 5, 2007 with an institutional asset based lender which advanced funds against “eligible accounts receivable” as defined in Anchor’s agreement with its institutional lender. This facility, which was secured by our assets, contained certain covenants related to tangible net worth and change in control. In the event that we failed to comply with the covenant(s) and the lender did not waive such non-compliance, we would have been in default of our credit agreement, which could have subjected us to penalty rates of interest and accelerate the maturity of the outstanding balances.  On June 28, 2007, we notified our lender of our desire to terminate the facility agreement immediately and the lender subsequently agreed to our request.  

On October 22, 2008, Anchor entered into agreements to secure a revolving line of credit of up to $1,500,000 in total from George Rubin and Morry Rubin, each of whom are affiliates of Anchor. Each revolving credit note, of which there are two, is in the principal amount of $750,000 or such other amount that shall have been advanced and be outstanding and remain unpaid. Each note bears interest at the rate of 12% per annum and is repayable upon the earlier of (i) demand by lender and (ii) immediately prior to or on the date of Anchor’s entry into a loan agreement with an institutional lender.  To secure Anchor’s obligations under the notes, Anchor granted to each lender a security interest in substantially all the assets of Anchor.  The purpose of this line of credit is to support Anchor’s growing and expanding business.

We intend to seek to obtain a new institutional credit facility. In the event we are not able to obtain adequate credit facilities for our factoring and acquisition needs on commercially reasonable terms, our ability to operate and expand our business and complete one or more acquisitions would be significantly impacted and our financial condition and results of operations could suffer.

 
ITEM 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate risk associated with our short term money market investments. The Company does not have any financial instruments held for trading or other speculative purposes and does not invest in derivative financial instruments, interest rate swaps or other investments that alter interest rate exposure. The Company does not have any credit facilities with variable interest rates.

ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based closely on the definition of "disclosure controls and procedures" in Rule 13a-15(e). In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and the Company's Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level at the end of our most recent quarter. There have been no changes in the Company's disclosure controls and procedures or in other factors that could affect the disclosure controls subsequent to the date the Company completed its evaluation. Therefore, no corrective actions were taken.

Management has not yet completed, and is not yet required to have completed, its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE-November 13, 2008

Anchor Funding Services, Inc. reports fiscal 2008 - third quarter results

Boca Raton, FL (PR Newswire)/November 13, 2008 – Anchor Funding Services, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board Symbol “AFNG”) announced today its results for its third quarter of 2008.  The company reported 2008 third quarter finance revenues and net loss of $338,356 and $(240,427) as compared to finance revenues and net loss of $121,996 and $(225,121) for the comparable prior year period.  The Company also reported nine month 2008 finance revenues and net loss of $823,533 and $(947,680) as compared to finance revenue and net loss of $297,740 and $(515,669) for the comparable period of the prior year.  The increase in net loss is attributable to the company’s investments in various sales initiatives, hiring marketing and operations personnel, and increases in general and administrative costs and compliance costs as a public reporting company.

Morry F. Rubin, CEO stated that “We have made investments to capitalize on the growth opportunity in the U.S. factoring industry.  While ramping up our organic growth initiatives we are also exploring acquisition opportunities of other U.S. factoring firms which would enhance our ability to increase revenues and profits, add additional factoring services and increase our geography and clients.”

Anchor provides accounts receivable financing to most types of U.S. businesses where the performance of a service or the delivery of a product can be verified.  We have the ability to check a company’s credit and evaluate its ability to pay across most industries.  Typically, small businesses do not have adequate resources to manage the credit and A/R collection functions internally and cannot afford to provide their customers extended credit terms.

Anchor is continuing to benefit from the current credit problems experienced by banks and other financial institutions.  Banks face continued pressure to exit troubled loans and rebuild their balance sheets.   As a result, lending criteria have tightened across the spectrum making it increasingly difficult for small businesses to obtain working capital.  Through our sales force and marketing efforts we are implementing various ways to obtain business opportunities from bank rejections and turndowns.  Unlike a bank, Anchor is not as focused on the credit quality of its clients, but is more focused on the creditworthiness of its clients’ customers and validity of their invoices.  Therefore, Anchor is often able to provide working capital to small businesses when banks cannot.

We are excited about our future expansion opportunities in the factoring industry which is highly fragmented and not dominated by any single firm(s).  We will continue to communicate important developments as they occur.

About Anchor

Anchor provides innovative accounts receivable funding to small and mid-size U.S. businesses.  Our funding facility which is based upon creditworthiness of accounts receivable, provides rapid and flexible financing to support small businesses’ daily capital needs.
