Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements
 
For the Three Months and Six Months Ended June 30, 2012 and 2011
 
(Unaudited)

The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2012, the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 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 June 30, 2012, results of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, and are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

This report should be read in conjunction with our Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.

1.  BACKGROUND AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS:
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Anchor Funding Services, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Anchor Funding Services, LLC (“Anchor”).  On October 6, 2010, we completed the rescission of our acquisition of certain assets of Brookridge Funding, LLC that occurred on December 7, 2009. On October 6, 2010, the Minority members of our 80% owned subsidiary Brookridge Funding Services, LLC (“Brookridge”) purchased Anchor’s interest in Brookridge at book value of approximately $783,000. The consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2011 reflect the historical operations of Brookridge as discontinued operations. Accordingly, we have generally presented the notes to our consolidated financial statements on the basis of continuing operations which has caused certain reclassifications within the financial statements and related footnotes. In addition, unless stated otherwise, any reference to income statement items in these financial statements refers to results from continuing operations.

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

Anchor Funding Services, LLC is a North Carolina limited liability company. Anchor Funding Services, LLC was formed for the purpose of providing factoring and back office services to businesses located throughout the United States of America.
 
2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
Principles of Consolidation - The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Anchor Funding Services, Inc. and, its wholly owned subsidiary, Anchor Funding Services, LLC (continuing operations). Anchor’s former 80% interest in Brookridge Funding Services, LLC is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as discontinued operations.
 
Estimates – The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America  (“US GAAP”) 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 consolidated 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 and purchase order advance.  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 and purchase order advance is outstanding.   As specified in its contract with the client, the Company charges variable increasing percentages of the purchased invoice or purchase order advance 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   ofcustomer.  For new customers the Company recognizes revenue using the cost recovery method.  For established customers theCompany 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 and purchase order advances are collected, the Company records the appropriate adjustments to record the actual revenue earned on each purchased invoice and purchase order advance. 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 and advances on purchase orders from clients less amounts maintained in a reserve account.  For factoring transactions, 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.  For purchase order transactions, the company advances and pays for up to 100% of the product’s cost.
 
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 and purchase order advances monthly to determine if any are uncollectible.  The Company has a security interest in the accounts receivable and inventory 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 various types of personal guarantees from their customers relating to the purchased accounts receivable and purchase order advances.

Management considered approximately $24,500 of their June 30, 2012 and $17,500 of their December 31, 2011 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. As of June 30, 2012, accounts receivable purchased over 90 days old and still accruing fees totaled approximately $106,000.
 
Property and Equipment – Property and equipment, consisting of furniture and fixtures and computers and software, are stated at cost.  Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the depreciable assets using the straight-line method.  Estimated useful lives range from 2 to 7 years.

Advertising Costs – The Company charges advertising costs to expense as incurred.  Total advertising costs were approximately $67,400 and $58,500 for the quarters ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $135,700 and $114,200 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, respectively.

Earnings per Share – Basic net income per share is computed by dividing the net income for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Dilutive earnings per share include the potential impact of dilutive securities, such as convertible preferred stock, stock options and stock warrants.  The dilutive effect of stock options and warrants is computed using the treasury stock method, which assumes the repurchase of common shares at the average market price.
 
 
 

 
Under the treasury stock method, options and warrants will have a dilutive effect when the average price of common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of options or warrants.  For the quarters and six months ending June 30, 2012 and 2011, the average price of common stock was less than the exercise price of the options and warrants.  

Stock Based Compensation - The fair value of transactions in which the Company exchanges its equity instruments for employee services (share-based payment transactions) must be recognized as an expense in the financial statements as services are performed.

Compensation expense is determined by reference to the fair value of an award on the date of grant and is amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. We have elected to use the Black-Scholes-Merton (BSM) pricing model to determine the fair value of all stock option awards.
 
See Note 9 for the impact on operating results for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments – The carrying value of cash equivalents, retained interest in purchased accounts receivable, due to financial institution, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates their fair value.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of highly liquid cash investment funds with original maturities of three months or less when acquired.

Income Taxes – The Company is 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 basis of property and equipment between financial and income tax reporting
·
Net operating loss carryforwards.

The deferred tax asset represents the future tax return consequences of utilizing these items.   Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation reserve, when management is uncertain if the net deferred tax assets will ever be realized.
 
The Company applied guidance for accounting for uncertainty in income tax positions to all its tax positions, including tax positions taken and those expected to be taken, under the transition provision of the interpretation. For the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, 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 April 2011, Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-02 – A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring, or ASU 2011-02. This standard amends previous guidance provided in Accounting Standards Codification 310-40-Receivables-Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors. ASU 2011-02 provides additional guidance and criteria on how companies should determine whether a restructuring or refinancing of an existing financial receivable represents a troubled debt restructuring. Companies must assess whether the restructuring or refinancing of an existing financial receivable is a troubled debt restructuring in order to determine how to account for the remaining unamortized portion of certain fees, such as origination fees, associated with the original debt investment. ASU-2011-02 is effective for the first interim period beginning on or after June 15, 2011. We adopted this standard beginning with the quarter ended September 30, 2011. Our adoption of this update did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations. 

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an update to Topic 820—Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures of the Accounting Standards Codification. This update provides guidance on how fair value accounting should be applied where its use is already required or permitted by other standards. The guidance does not extend the use of fair value accounting. We adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2012, as required, and the adoption did not have a significant impact to our consolidated financial statements.
 
 
 

 
In June 2011, the FASB issued an update to Topic 220—Comprehensive Income of the Accounting Standards Codification. The update is intended to increase the prominence of other comprehensive income in the financial statements. The guidance requires that we present components of comprehensive income in either one continuous or two separate, but consecutive, financial statements and no longer permits the presentation of comprehensive income in the Consolidated Statement of Shareholders’ Equity. We adopted this new guidance effective January 1, 2012, as required. The adoption did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements. We are now presenting components of comprehensive income on one statement, our unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income and Other Comprehensive Income.

5.  DUE TO FINANCIAL INSTITUTION:
 
On November 8, 2011, Anchor entered into a Rediscount Credit Facility with a Commercial Bank that was effective November 30, 2011 and replaced its prior credit facility. The maximum amount that can be borrowed under the facility is $10 million and the Bank will advance up to 80% of Anchor's advances to its clients. Anchor pays interest on advances monthly at the 90 Day Libor Rate plus 6.25% and various other monthly fees as defined in the agreement. The agreement requires that Anchor maintain at all times a ratio of debt to tangible net worth of no more than four to one (4:1).  The agreement contains customary representations and warranties, events of default and limitations, among other provisions. The agreement is collateralized by a first lien on all Anchors' assets. The agreement’s anniversary date is November 30, 2012 and automatically renews each year for an additional year provided that the Company has not provided 60 days’ notice to the Bank in advance of the anniversary date. This facility contains certain standard covenants, representations and warranties for loans of this type.  In the event that we fail to comply with the covenant(s) and the lender does not waive such non-compliance, we could be in default of our credit facility, which could subject us to penalty rates of interest and accelerate the maturity of the outstanding balances in addition to other legal remedies, including foreclosure on collateral. The Company’s President and CEO have provided validity guarantees to the Bank. Anchor owed this financial institution $6,686,886 as of June 30, 2012 and $4,427,343 as of December 31, 2011.
 
On, November 30, 2009, Anchor Funding Services, LLC, entered into a $7 million senior Accounts Receivable (A/R) Credit Facility with a maximum amount of up to $9 million with lender approval.  This funding facility was based upon Anchor's submission and approval of eligible accounts receivable. This facility replaced Anchor’s revolving credit facility from another financial institution.  Anchor paid .5% for the first 30 days of the face value for each invoice funded and .016% for each day thereafter until collected. In addition, interest on advances was paid monthly at the Prime Rate plus 2.0%.  Anchor paid the financial institution various other monthly fees as defined in the agreement. The agreement required that Anchor use $1,000,000 of its own funds first to finance its clients.  The agreement contained customary representations and warranties, events of default and limitations, among other provisions. The agreement was collateralized by a first lien on all Anchors’ assets.  Borrowings on this agreement were partially guaranteed by the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer.  The partial guarantee was $250,000 each.  On February 10, 2011, Anchor’s agreement with this financial institution was amended such that beginning February 10, 2011, Anchor would no longer pay discount fees and Anchor would pay interest on advances at the Prime Rate plus 8.0%  through November 30, 2011 and at the Prime Rate plus 9.0% thereafter. On September 22, 2011, Anchor gave notice to this financial institution that it was electing not to renew the facility when it expired at the end of its current term on November 30, 2011, so that it could enter into the Rediscount Credit Facility described above.
 
6. DUE TO PARTICIPANT:
 
On May 25, 2012, Anchor entered into a Participation Agreement with a funding company (Participant) whereby it sold an interest in one of its accounts so that it could accommodate the account's funding requirements and also mitigate some of Anchor’s credit exposure in the account. Anchor sold a 50% interest in the account to the Participant. Provided Anchor follows a standard of care as agreed to in the Participation Agreement, any credit losses, if they occur, would be shared equally between Anchor and the Participant. The Participant’s fee is paid monthly and is charged at the rate of 21% per annum of the average outstanding balance due to the Participant. The fee paid for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 was $13,457 and is included in interest expense - financial institutions.  Anchor owed the Participant $683,729 as of June 30, 2012.

On January 31, 2007, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation with the Secretary of State of Delaware.  Effective with this filing, 2,000,000 preferred shares became Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock.  Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock will rank senior to Common Stock.

Common Stock – The Company is authorized to issue 65,000,000 shares of $.0001 par value Common Stock.  Each share of Common Stock entitles the holder to one vote at all stockholder meetings.  Dividends on Common Stock will be determined annually by the Company’s Board of Directors.

8.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

Promissory notes payable

On June 5, 2012, upon approval of the Board, Anchor entered into two Promissory Notes totaling $400,000, one with Morry Rubin and the other with a major shareholder of the company. Each Promissory Note is for $200,000, has a 90 day term, and earns interest (payable monthly) at 15% per annum. At its option, Anchor may renew the Promissory Notes for an additional ninety days.The Promissory Notes are to assist Anchor in providing factoring and purchase order funding facilities to some of its clients. The Promissory Notes are subordinate to and supplement Anchor's $10 Million Rediscount Credit Facility with a Commercial Bank.

Due to Lender

On April 26, 2011, upon approval of the Board, Anchor entered into a Promissory Note for up to $2 million from MGM Funding, LLC (MGM). Morry Rubin is the managing member of MGM. The money to be borrowed under the note was subordinate to Anchor’s accounts receivable credit facility with a senior lender, which required funds employed to be no less than $5,000,000 before Anchor borrowed funds from MGM. The Promissory Note was to assist Anchor in providing factoring and purchase order funding facilities to some of its clients and it replaced an earlier agreement between the parties. This facility was to supplement Anchor's $10 Million Rediscount Credit Facility with a Commercial Bank. The MGM Promissory Note was a demand note payable together with interest at the rate of 11% per annum.  If mutually agreed upon in writing by Anchor and MGM, and if Anchor's purchase order fundings exceeded $1 Million, then interest could accrue on the portion of the unpaid balance of this Note that is funding purchase order advances that are in excess of $1 Million at a rate equal to twenty percent (20%) per annum. This note was paid in full as of December 31, 2011 and is no longer available to Anchor.  Anchor paid $0 and $2,240 of interest to MGM for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Summary of Critical Accounting Policies

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

Summary of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Principles of Consolidation - The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Anchor Funding Services, Inc. and, its wholly owned subsidiary, Anchor Funding Services, LLC (continuing operations). Anchor’s former 80% interest in Brookridge Funding Services, LLC is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as discontinued operations.
 
Estimates – The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) 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 consolidated 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 and purchase order advance.  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 and purchase order advance is outstanding.   As specified in its contract with the client, the Company charges variable increasing percentages of the purchased invoice or purchase order advance 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   ofcustomer.  For new customers the Company recognizes revenue using the cost recovery method.  For established customers theCompany 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 and purchase order advances are collected, the Company records the appropriate adjustments to record the actual revenue earned on each purchased invoice and purchase order advance. 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 and advances on purchase orders from clients less amounts maintained in a reserve account.  For factoring transactions, 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.  For purchase order transactions, the company advances and pays for up to 100% of the product’s cost.
 
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 and purchase order advances monthly to determine if any are uncollectible.  The Company has a security interest in the accounts receivable and inventory 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 various types of personal guarantees from their customers relating to the purchased accounts receivable and purchase order advances.

Management considered approximately $24,500 of their June 30, 2012 and $17,500 of their December 31, 2011 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. As of June 30, 2012, accounts receivable purchased over 90 days old and still accruing fees totaled approximately $106,000.
 
Property and Equipment – Property and equipment, consisting of furniture and fixtures and computers and software, are stated at cost.  Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the depreciable assets using the straight-line method.  Estimated useful lives range from 2 to 7 years.

Advertising Costs – The Company charges advertising costs to expense as incurred.  Total advertising costs were approximately $67,400 and $58,500 for the quarters ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $135,700 and $114,200 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, respectively.

Earnings per Share – Basic net income per share is computed by dividing the net income for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Dilutive earnings per share include the potential impact of dilutive securities, such as convertible preferred stock, stock options and stock warrants.  The dilutive effect of stock options and warrants is computed using the treasury stock method, which assumes the repurchase of common shares at the average market price.

Under the treasury stock method, options and warrants will have a dilutive effect when the average price of common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of options or warrants.  For the quarters and six months ending June 30, 2012 and 2011, the average price of common stock was less than the exercise price of the options and warrants.  

Stock Based Compensation - The fair value of transactions in which the Company exchanges its equity instruments for employee services (share-based payment transactions) must be recognized as an expense in the financial statements as services are performed.

Compensation expense is determined by reference to the fair value of an award on the date of grant and is amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. We have elected to use the Black-Scholes-Merton (BSM) pricing model to determine the fair value of all stock option awards.
 
See Note 9 for the impact on operating results for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments – The carrying value of cash equivalents, retained interest in purchased accounts receivable, due to financial institution, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates their fair value.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of highly liquid cash investment funds with original maturities of three months or less when acquired.

Income Taxes – The Company is 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 basis of property and equipment between financial and income tax reporting
·
Net operating loss carryforwards.

The deferred tax asset represents the future tax return consequences of utilizing these items.   Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation reserve, when management is uncertain if the net deferred tax assets will ever be realized.
 
The Company applied guidance for accounting for uncertainty in income tax positions to all its tax positions, including tax positions taken and those expected to be taken, under the transition provision of the interpretation. For the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, 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.

Finance revenues from continuing operations decreased 2.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2012 to $712,749 compared to $731,848 for the comparable period of the prior year.   The finance revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2011 include a one-time fee of approximately $55,000 from a client for terminating its contract early. Excluding this fee, finance revenues increased approximately 5.3% or $35,901 due to an increase in business from existing clients and new clients. 
 
The Company had interest expense from continuing operations of $147,609 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to interest expense of $153,122 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. While the Company refinanced its credit facility with a commercial bank in November 2011 that lowered its cost of funds, the Company’s average borrowings were higher for the three months ended June 30, 2012. This in addition to the Company incurring higher interest expense for borrowings under its participation arrangement and promissory notes payable (see Notes 6 and 8), partially offset the savings from the reduced cost of the commercial banks’ credit facility.

The Company had a benefit for credit losses of $14,104 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to a provision for credit losses of $207 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The benefit is primarily the result of a $21,000 cash recovery for a credit loss that was recorded in 2009.

Operating expenses from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2012 were $410,644 compared to $405,025 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, a $5,619 difference.  This is consistent with the Company’s current objective to keep operating expenses constant.
 
 
 

 
The Company’s net income from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $168,600 compared to $173,494 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Increased business from new and existing clients along with a benefit for credit losses of approximately $14,000 partially offset the one-time fee described above of approximately $55,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

Excluding this fee, finance revenues decreased approximately 0.7% or $9,000.  

The Company had interest expense from continuing operations of $237,932 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to interest expense of $303,956 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. This change is primarily the result of the Company refinancing its credit facility with a commercial bank at a lower cost in November 2011.

The Company had a benefit for credit losses of $14,104 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to a provision for credit losses of $175 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The benefit is primarily the result of a $21,000 cash recovery for a credit loss that was recorded in 2009.

Operating expenses from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2012 were $826,048 compared to $820,478 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, a $5,570 difference.  This is consistent with the Company’s current objective to keep operating expenses constant.

Reduced interest expense, combined with the benefit for credit losses more than offset the decrease in finance revenues and resulted in net income from continuing operations for the six months ended of $205,369 compared to $194,531 for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

Capital Resources

We have the availability of a $10 million Rediscount Credit Facility with a Commercial Bank. The maximum amount that can be borrowed under the facility is $10 million and the Bank advances up to 80% of Anchor’s advances to its clients. The agreement’s anniversary date is November 30, 2012 and automatically renews each year for an additional year provided that the Company has not provided 60 days notice to the financial institution in advance of the anniversary date. This facility is secured by our assets, and contains certain standard covenants, representations and warranties for loans of this type.  In the event that we fail to comply with the covenant(s) and the lender does not waive such non-compliance, we could be in default of our credit facility, which could subject us to penalty rates of interest and accelerate the maturity of the outstanding balances.  The Credit Agreement contains standard representations, warranties and events of default for facilities of this type.  Occurrences of an event of default under our credit facility allow the lender to accelerate the payment of the loans and/or terminate the commitments to lend, in addition to other legal remedies, including foreclosure on collateral.  In the event we are not able to maintain adequate credit facilities for our factoring, purchase order financing and acquisition needs on commercially reasonable terms, our ability to operate our business and complete one or more acquisitions would be significantly impacted and our financial condition and results of operations could suffer.  We can provide no assurances that replacement facilities will be obtained by us on terms satisfactory to us, if at all.
 
On June 5, 2012, upon approval of the Board, Anchor entered into two Promissory Notes totaling $400,000, one with Morry Rubin and the other with a major shareholder of the company. Each Promissory Note is for $200,000, has a 90 day term, and earns interest (payable monthly) at 15% per annum. At its option, Anchor may renew the Promissory Notes for an additional ninety days.The Promissory Notes are to assist Anchor in providing factoring and purchase order funding facilities to some of its clients. The Promissory Notes are subordinate to and supplement Anchor's $10 Million Rediscount Credit Facility with a Commercial Bank.

On May 25, 2012, Anchor entered into a Participation Agreement with a funding company (Participant) whereby it sold an interest in one of its accounts so that it could accommodate the accounts funding requirements and also mitigate some of Anchor’s credit exposure in the account. Anchor sold a 50% interest in the account to the Participant. Provided Anchor follows a standard of care as agreed to in the Participation Agreement, any credit losses, if they occur, would be shared equally between Anchor and the Participant. The Participant’s fee is paid monthly and is charged at the rate of 21% per annum of the average outstanding balance due to the Participant. The fee paid for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 was $13,457 and is included in interest expense - financial institutions. Anchor owed the Participant $683,729 as of June 30, 2012.

On April 26, 2011, upon approval of the Board, Anchor entered into a Promissory Note for up to $2 million from MGM Funding, LLC (MGM). Morry Rubin is the managing member of MGM. The money to be borrowed under the note was subordinate to Anchor’s accounts receivable credit facility with a senior lender, which required funds employed to be no less than $5,000,000 before Anchor borrowed funds from MGM. The Promissory Note was to assist Anchor in providing factoring and purchase order funding facilities to some of its clients and it replaced an earlier agreement between the parties. This facility was to supplement Anchor's $10 Million Rediscount Credit Facility with a Commercial Bank. The MGM Promissory Note was a demand note payable together with interest at the rate of 11% per annum.  If mutually agreed upon in writing by Anchor and MGM, and if Anchor's purchase order fundings exceeded $1 Million, then interest could accrue on the portion of the unpaid balance of this Note that is funding purchase order advances that are in excess of $1 Million at a rate equal to twenty percent (20%) per annum. This note was paid in full as of December 31, 2011 and is no longer available to Anchor.  Anchor paid $0 and $2,240 of interest to MGM for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. 
Based on our current cash position and our Credit Facilities, we believe we can meet our cash needs for the next 12 to 15 months and support our anticipated organic growth. In the event we acquire another company, we may need additional equity or subordinated debt financing and/or a new credit facility to complete the transaction and our daily cash needs and liquidity could change based on the needs of the combined companies.  At that time, in the event we are not able to obtain adequate new facilities and/or financing to complete the acquisition (if needed) and to operate the combined companies financing needs on commercially reasonable terms, our ability to operate and expand our business would be significantly impacted and our financial condition and results of operations could suffer.
 
 
 
 
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate risk associated with our short term money market investments. The Company does not have any financial instruments held for trading or other speculative purposes and does not invest in derivative financial instruments, interest rate swaps or other investments that alter interest rate exposure. The Company does not have any credit facilities with variable interest rates.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

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

There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – August 14, 2012

Anchor Funding Services, Inc. reports second quarter 2012 net income of $168,600.

Boca Raton, Fl. (PR Newswire) August 14, 2012 – Anchor Funding Services, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board Symbol “AFNG.OB”) a specialty commercial finance company focused on accounts receivable funding, announced today its results of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2012. Anchor reported second quarter 2012 finance revenues decreased to $712,749 as compared to $731,848 for the comparable period of the prior year, a 2.6% decrease.   The finance revenues for the second quarter of 2011 include a one-time fee of approximately $55,000 from a client for terminating its contract early. Excluding this fee, finance revenues increased 5.3% or approximately $36,000.  Anchor reported finance revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2012 decreased to $1,255,245 as compared to $1,319,140 for the comparable period of the prior year, a 4.8% decrease. Increased business from new and existing clients along with a benefit for credit losses of approximately $14,000 partially offset the one-time $55,000 fee described above and resulted in net income for the three months ended June 30, 2012 of $168,600 compared to $173,494 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Reduced interest expense, combined with a credit loss recovery of approximately $14,000, resulted in net income from continuing operations of $205,369 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to $194,531 for the comparable period of the prior year.

Anchor continues to experience demand for its financing product services. Anchor purchased approximately $28.1 million of invoices during the second quarter 2012 compared to approximately $20.9 million for second quarter 2011.  For the six months ended June 30, 2012, Anchor purchased approximately $48.3 million of invoices compared to approximately $41.1 million for the comparable period for the prior year.

Morry F. Rubin, CEO, stated "We are excited about our profitable results and our ability to be more competitive in the marketplace and fund larger transactions with the credit facility we entered into in November 2011.  Since having completed our private placement of convertible preferred securities in April 2007, we have organically grown the portfolio from less than a dozen clients in a few states to servicing more than 125 companies in over 30 states in the first six months of 2012. We are focused on adding additional credit worthy clients to our national portfolio and seeking acquisition opportunities.”

We are excited about our future expansion opportunities and will continue to communicate important developments as they occur.
