EXPLANATORY NOTE





Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, all references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company” are to Performance Capital Management, LLC, a California limited liability company, and our wholly-owned subsidiary, Matterhorn Financial
Services, LLC (“Matterhorn”).





CAUTIONARY NOTICE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS





We desire to take advantage of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (Report) contains a number of forward-looking statements that reflect management’s current views and expectations with respect to our business, strategies, future results
and events, and financial performance. All statements made in this Report other than statements of historical fact, including statements that address operating performance, the economy, events or developments that management expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future, including statements related to revenues, profitability, adequacy of funds from operations, cash flows and financing, and our ability to continue as a going concern are forward-looking statements. In particular, the words such as “believe,”
“expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “may,” “will,” “can,” “plan,” “predict,” “could,” “future,” variations of such words, and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements and their absence does not mean that the statement is not forward-looking.





Readers should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are based on management’s current expectations and projections about future events, are not guarantees of future performance, are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions and apply only as of the date of this Report. Our actual results, performance
or achievements could differ materially from historical results as well as the results expressed in, anticipated or implied by these forward-looking statements.





For a more detailed discussion of some of the factors that may affect our business, results and prospects, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 7, 2009, as well as various disclosures made by us in this Report and in our other reports we file with
the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our periodic reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

PERFORMANCE CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, LLC AND SUBSIDIARY





CONDENSED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


(unaudited)





Note 1 - Organization and Description of Business





Performance Capital Management, LLC (“PCM LLC”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Matterhorn Financial Services, LLC (“Matterhorn”) (collectively the “Company”, unless stated otherwise) are engaged in the business of acquiring assets originated by federal and state banks and other sources, for the purpose
of generating income and cash flow from managing, collecting, or selling those assets. These assets consist primarily of non-performing credit card loan portfolios and are purchased and sold as portfolios (“portfolios”). Additionally, some of the loan portfolios are assigned to third-party agencies for collection.





Reorganization under Bankruptcy





PCM LLC was formed under a Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Reorganization Plan (“Reorganization Plan”) and operating agreement. The Reorganization Plan called for the consolidation of five California limited partnerships and a California corporation into the new California limited liability company. The five California limited partnerships
were formed for the purpose of acquiring investments in or direct ownership of non-performing credit card loan portfolios from financial institutions and other sources. The assets of the five limited partnerships consisted primarily of non-performing credit card loans, as well as cash. In late December 1998, these six entities voluntarily filed bankruptcy petitions, which were later consolidated into one case. PCM LLC was formed on January 14, 2002 and commenced operations upon the confirmation of the Reorganization
Plan on February 4, 2002. Assets were transferred at historical carrying values and liabilities were assumed as required by the bankruptcy confirmation plan. The entities that were consolidated under the Reorganization Plan are as follows:





•
Performance Capital Management, Inc., a California corporation;


•
Performance Asset Management Fund, Ltd., a California limited partnership;


•
Performance Asset Management Fund II, Ltd., a California limited partnership;


•
Performance Asset Management Fund III, Ltd., a California limited partnership;


•
Performance Asset Management Fund IV, Ltd., a California limited partnership; and


•
Performance Asset Management Fund V, Ltd., a California limited partnership.





Wholly-owned Subsidiary





In July 2004, the Company completed a credit facility (effective June 10, 2004) with Varde Investment Partners, L.P. (“Varde”), a participant in the debt collection industry, to augment portfolio purchasing capacity using capital provided by Varde. To implement the agreement, PCM LLC created a wholly-owned subsidiary, Matterhorn.
The facility provides for up to $25 million of capital (counting each dollar loaned on a cumulative basis) with a term ending in June 2010. Matterhorn was consolidated in the financial statements as a wholly-owned subsidiary starting in the third quarter of 2004.





Varde is not under any obligation to make a loan to Matterhorn and Varde must agree on the terms for each specific advance under the loan facility. Under the terms of the facility, Varde will receive both interest and a portion of any residual collections on the portfolios acquired with a loan, after repayment of the purchase price (plus
interest) to Varde and the Company and payment of servicing fees. Portfolios purchased using the facility will be owned by PCM LLC’s subsidiary, Matterhorn. Varde has a first priority security interest in Matterhorn's assets securing repayment of its loans.





Note 2 - Basis of Presentation





The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly
present the operating results for the respective periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally present in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These consolidated financial

Note 2 - Basis of Presentation (continued)





statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2008, included in the Company's Current Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 7, 2009. The results for the six months ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of
the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2009.





Going Concern





The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States on a “going concern” basis, which presumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business
for the foreseeable future. The Company has experienced a steady decline in its revenues and has now reached a point where it may not have sufficient capital resources to cover its operating expenses over the next twelve months. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.





The Company’s ability to purchase loan portfolios using its own funds has steadily decreased since 2007, resulting in a commensurate decrease in revenues from portfolio collections. The Company’s efforts have thus far been, and are expected to be in the future, significantly impacted by general economic, competitive and other
factors beyond its control. In addition, Varde has applied principal, interest and other revenues that the Company would otherwise be entitled to from Matterhorn, excluding servicing fees, towards paying down its loans to Matterhorn made in connection with portfolio purchases, thereby further reducing capital that would otherwise be available to the Company to fund its operations.





The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern, therefore, is dependent upon the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund its operations and acquire new debt portfolios at prices that enable it to pay for its operating and other expenses and still have income to purchase additional portfolios. The Company has undertaken a series
of cost reduction measures to conserve cash, including the following:


·
Suspending distributions to the Company’s unit holders;


·
Reducing officer and director compensation;


·
Reducing the pay structure for collectors and administrative personnel and laying off employees; and


·
Reducing general and administrative expenses, primarily as a result of a decreased emphasis on legal collections, and a general reduction in the scope of operations.





These efforts have not, however, been sufficient to counter the significant decrease in collections revenues. Selling portfolios to cover the shortfall in collections revenues is a short-term option since fewer portfolios will generate lower collections revenues over time, which is the primary source of capital from operations for the Company.
Even if the Company seeks to sell a portfolio, market prices for loan portfolios have dropped to the point where the Company may not generate enough cash from the sale to cover the principal balance and interest due to Varde on the loan used to purchase the portfolio, and still have cash left over to pay for operating expenses.





Based upon current cash and cash equivalent balances and planned spending rates for the remainder of 2009, management believes that the Company does not have adequate cash and cash equivalents on hand to support ongoing operations over the next twelve months. This projection may change, however, if actual results differ significantly
from expectations.





Management's plan is to obtain capital resources through the sale, if possible, of portfolios at reasonable prices, as well as through equity and/or debt financing. At this time, the Company has received no commitments for additional financing. If the Company is unable to obtain additional funding for its operations, it may not be able
to continue operations as proposed, requiring it to further modify its business plan, curtail various aspects of its operations or cease operations altogether. There can be no assurance that the Company’s plans to continue as a going concern will be successful. As an alternative, management is exploring opportunities to sell the Company.

Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies





The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. These adjustments could be material.





Use of Estimates





In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the 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.





Significant estimates have been made by management with respect to the timing and amount of collection of future cash flows from purchased loan portfolios. Among other things, the estimated future cash flows of the portfolios are used to recognize impairment in the purchased loan portfolios. Management reviews the estimate of future collections
and it is reasonably possible that these estimates may change based on actual results and other factors. A change could be material to the financial statements.





Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements





In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-4, "Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly" ("FSP FAS 157-4"), to address challenges in estimating fair value when the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability
have significantly decreased.  This FSP emphasizes that even if there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability and regardless of the valuation technique(s) used, the objective of a fair value measurement remains the same.  Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement
date under current market conditions.  This FSP is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009.  The Company adopted the provisions ofFSP FAS 157-4 during the second quarter of 2009 and the effect of adoption on its financial position and results of operations was not material.





In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 115-2 and 124-2, "Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments" ("FSP FAS 115-2 and 124-2").  This FSP amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance in U.S. GAAP for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure
of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements.  This FSP does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities.  This FSP is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009.The Company adopted
the provisions ofFSP FAS 115-2 and 124-2 during the second quarter of 2009 and the effect of adoption on its financial position and results of operations was not material.





In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and ABP 28-1, "Interim Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments" ("FSP FAS 107-1 and ABP 28-1").  This FSP amends FASB Statement No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim
reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements.  This FSP also amends APB Opinion No. 28, "Interim Financial Reporting," to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods.  This FSP is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009.  The Company adopted the provisions of FSP FAS 107-1 and ABP
28-1 during the second quarter of 2009 and the effect of adoption on its financial position and results of operations was not material.




In May 2009, the FASB issued FAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (“FAS 165”).  This statement establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. In particular, this statement
sets forth (1) the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements; (2) the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements; and (3) the

PERFORMANCE CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, LLC AND SUBSIDIARY





CONDENSED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


(unaudited)





Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)





disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date.  In addition, FAS 165 defines two types of subsequent events, as follows: the first type consists of events or transactions that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet
and the second type consists of events that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose after that date.  FAS 165 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009.  The Company adopted the provisions of FAS 165 during the second quarter of 2009 and the effect of adoption on its financial position and results of operations was not material.





In June 2009, the FASB issued FAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” (FAS 166) to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial
assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets.  This Statement must be applied as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter.  Earlier application is prohibited.   This
Statement must be applied to transfers occurring on or after the effective date.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adopting FAS 166 will have on its consolidated financial statements.





In June 2009, the FASB issued FAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (“FAS 167”) to improve financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities by addressing (1) the effects on certain provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable
Interest Entities, as a result of the elimination of the qualifying special-purpose entity concept in FASB Statement No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, and (2) constituent concerns about the application of certain key provisions of Interpretation 46(R), including those in which the accounting and disclosures under the Interpretation do not always provide timely and useful information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity.  This statement is effective
for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009, with earlier adoption prohibited.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adopting FAS 167 will have on its consolidated financial statements.





In June 2009, the FASB issued FAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” (“FAS 168” or “Codification”).  This Codification will become the single source of authoritative
United States accounting and reporting standards applicable for all non-governmental entities, with the exception of the SEC and its staff.  The Codification, which changes the referencing of financial standards, is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after September 15, 2009.  Therefore, in our third quarter of fiscal 2009, all references made to US GAAP will use the new Codification numbering system prescribed by the FASB.  As the Codification is not intended
to change or alter existing US GAAP, it is not expected to have any impact on our consolidated financial statements.





Cash and Cash Equivalents





The Company defines cash equivalents as cash, money market investments, and overnight deposits with original maturities of less than three months. Cash equivalents are valued at cost, which approximates market. The Company had no cash balances that exceeded federally insured limits as of June 30, 2009. The Company has not experienced any
losses in such accounts. Management believes it is not exposed to any significant risks on cash in bank accounts.





Restricted cash consists principally of cash held in a segregated account pursuant to the Company’s credit facility with Varde.  The Company and Varde settle the status of these funds on a monthly basis pursuant to the credit facility.  The proportion of the restricted cash ultimately disbursed by Matterhorn to
Varde and PCM LLC depends upon a variety of factors, including the portfolios from which the cash is collected, the size of servicing fees on the portfolios that generated the cash, and the priority of payments due on the portfolios that generated the cash. Restricted cash is not considered to be a cash equivalent.

Property and Equipment





Property and equipment are carried at cost and depreciation is computed over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from 3 to 7 years. The Company uses the straight-line method of depreciation. Property and equipment transferred under the Reorganization Plan were transferred at net book value. Depreciation is computed on the remaining
useful life at the time of transfer.





The related cost and accumulated depreciation of assets retired or otherwise disposed of are removed from the accounts and the resultant gain or loss is reflected in earnings. Maintenance and repairs are expensed currently while major betterments are capitalized.





Long-term assets of the Company are reviewed annually as to whether their carrying value has become impaired.  Management considers assets to be impaired if the carrying value exceeds the future projected cash flows from related operations. Management also re-evaluates the periods of amortization to determine whether subsequent
events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives. As of June 30, 2009, management expects these assets to be fully recoverable.





Leases and Leasehold Improvements





PCM LLC accounts for its leases under the provisions of SFAS No. 13, “Accounting for Leases,” and subsequent amendments, which require that leases be evaluated and classified as operating leases or capital leases for financial reporting purposes. The Company’s office lease is accounted for as an operating lease. The office
lease contains certain provisions for incentive payments, future rent increases, and periods in which rent payments are reduced. The total amount of rental payments due over the lease term is being charged to rent expense on a straight-line method over the term of the lease. The difference between the rent expense recorded and the amount paid is credited or charged to “Deferred rent obligation,” which is included in “Accrued liabilities” in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
In addition, leasehold improvements associated with this operating lease are amortized over the lease term.




Revenue Recognition





The Company accounts for its investment in purchased loan portfolios utilizing either the interest method or the cost recovery method with the provisions of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountant’s (AICPA) Statement of Position 03-03, “Accounting for Loans or Certain Securities Acquired in a Transfer” (“SOP
03-03”). Purchased loan portfolios consisted primarily of non-performing credit card accounts. The interest method is being used by the Company for the majority of portfolios purchased after December 31, 2006. However, if future cash flows cannot be reasonably estimated for a particular portfolio, the Company will use the cost recovery method. Application of the cost recovery method requires that any amounts received be applied first against the recorded amount of the portfolios; when that amount has been
reduced to zero, any additional amounts received are recognized as net revenue. Acquired portfolios are initially recorded at their respective costs, and no accretable yield is recorded on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.





Accretable yield represents the amount of income the Company expects to generate over the remaining life of its existing investment in loan portfolios based on estimated future cash flows. Total accretable yield is the difference between future estimated collections and the current carrying value of a portfolio. All estimated cash flows
on portfolios where the cost basis has been fully recovered are classified as zero basis cash flows.





Commencing with portfolios acquired on or after January 1, 2007, in accordance with SOP 03-03, discrete loan portfolio purchases during a quarter, with the exception of those portfolios where the Company uses the cost recovery method, are aggregated into pools based on common risk characteristics. The Company accounts for each static pool
as a unit for the economic life of the pool (similar to one loan) for purposes of recognizing revenue from loan portfolios, applying collections to the cost basis of loan portfolios, and providing for loss or impairment.

Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)





Once a static pool is established, the portfolios are permanently assigned to the pool. The discount (i.e., the difference between the cost of each static pool and the related aggregate contractual loan balance) is not recorded because the Company expects to collect a relatively small percentage of each static pool’s contractual loan
balance. As a result, loan portfolios are recorded at cost at the time of acquisition. The use of the interest method was reflected for the first time in the Company’s report on Form 10-QSB for the period ended September 30, 2007.





The interest method applies an effective interest rate, or internal rate of return (“IRR”), to the cost basis of the pool, which is to remain unchanged throughout the life of the pool unless there is an increase in subsequent expected cash flows and is used for almost all loan portfolios purchased after December 31, 2006. The
Company purchases loan portfolios usually in the late stages of the post charged off collection cycle. The Company can therefore, based on common characteristics, aggregate most purchases in a quarter into a common pool. Each static pool retains its own identity. Revenue from purchased loan portfolios is accrued based on a pool’s effective interest rate applied to the pool’s adjusted cost basis. The cost basis of each pool is increased by revenue earned and decreased by gross collections and impairments.





Collections on each static pool are allocated to revenue and principal reduction based on the estimated IRR, which is the rate of return that each static pool requires to amortize the cost or carrying value of the pool to zero over its estimated life. Each pool’s IRR is determined by estimating future cash flows, which are based on
historical collection data for pools with similar characteristics. Based on historical cash collections, each pool is given an expected life of 60 months. The actual life of each pool may vary, but will generally amortize in approximately 60 months, with some pools amortizing sooner and some amortizing later.  Monthly cash flows greater than the recognized revenue will reduce the carrying value of each static pool and monthly cash flows lower than the recognized revenue will increase the carrying value
of the static pool. Each pool is reviewed at least quarterly and compared to historical trends to determine whether each static pool is performing as expected. This comparison is used to determine future estimated cash flows. Subsequent increases in cash flows expected to be collected are generally recognized prospectively through an upward adjustment of the pool’s effective IRR over its remaining life. Subsequent decreases in expected cash flows do not change the effective IRR, but are recognized as an
impairment of the cost basis of the pool, and are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations as an impairment expense with a corresponding valuation allowance offsetting the investment in purchased loan portfolios in the consolidated financial statements. If the cash flow estimates increase subsequent to recording an impairment, recovery of the previously recognized impairment is made prior to any increases to the
IRR.





The cost recovery method prescribed by SOP 03-03 is used when collections on a particular portfolio cannot be reasonably predicted. Under the cost recovery method, no revenue is recognized until the Company has fully collected the cost of the portfolio.





Prior to January 1, 2007, revenue from all portfolios was accounted for using the cost recovery method of accounting in accordance with SOP 03-03 and prior to January 1, 2005, the Company accounted for its investment in purchased loan portfolios using the cost recovery method under the guidance of Practice Bulletin 6, “Amortization
of Discounts on Certain Acquired Loans.” For the Company’s portfolios acquired prior to January 1, 2007, the cost recovery method of accounting was and continues to be used.  Under the cost recovery method, cash receipts relating to individual loan portfolios are applied first to recover the cost of the portfolios, prior to recognizing any revenue. Cash receipts in excess of the cost of the purchased loan portfolios are then recognized as net revenue.





The Company provides a valuation allowance for an acquired loan portfolio when the present value of expected future cash flows does not exceed the carrying value of the portfolio. Over the life of the portfolio, the Company’s management will continue to review the carrying values of each loan for impairment. If net present value of
expected future cash flows falls below the carrying value of the related portfolio, the valuation allowance is adjusted accordingly.

Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)





Loan portfolio sales occur after the initial portfolio analysis is performed and the loan portfolio is acquired.  Portions of portfolios sold typically do not meet the Company’s targeted collection characteristics. Loan portfolios sold are valued at the lower of cost or market. The Company continues collection efforts for
certain accounts in these portfolios right up until the point of sale. Proceeds from sales of purchased loan portfolios are recorded as revenue when received.





Under the cost recovery method, when the Company sells all or a portion of a portfolio, to the extent of remaining cost basis for the portfolio, it reduces the cost basis of the portfolio by a pro rata percentage of the original portfolio cost. This method of accounting also applies to portfolios purchased and then immediately sold prior
to being aggregated into a pool. Under the interest method, however, when the Company sells all or a portion of a portfolio in a pool, it reduces the cost basis of the pool by a pro rata percentage of the average portfolio cost in the pool. The Company’s policy does not take into account whether the portion of the portfolio being sold may be more or less valuable than the remaining accounts that comprise the portfolio.





Income Taxes





PCM LLC is treated as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes and does not incur Federal income taxes. Instead, its earnings and losses are included in the personal returns of its members.





PCM LLC is also treated as a partnership for state income tax purposes. The State of California imposes an annual corporation filing fee and an annual limited liability company fee.





The operations of a limited liability company are generally not subject to income taxes at the entity level, because its net income or net loss is distributed directly to and reflected on the tax returns of its members. The net tax basis of PCM LLC’s assets and liabilities is more than the reported amounts on the financial statements
by approximately $420,000 for the 2008 tax year, due primarily to the timing differences of purchased loan portfolio loss reserves and impairments.





Members’ Equity





Members’ equity includes voting LLC units held by members and non-voting LLC units held by one economic interest owner. As of June 30, 2009, PCM LLC had 525,566 voting LLC units and 23,673 non-voting LLC units. Retired or abandoned capital represents LLC units that are either voluntarily returned to the Company by a member or LLC
units that are redeemed and cancelled following a procedure authorized by PCM LLC’s plan of reorganization to eliminate the interests of PCM LLC members that PCM LLC has not been able to locate. In July 2009, three individuals and one trust surrendered a total of 746 LLC units to the Company. The forfeited LLC units represented each member’s entire respective investment interest in the Company.





Note 4 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments





The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) recently issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. It does not require any new fair value measurements, but
rather applies to all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. FAS 157 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement would need to be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.





On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted FAS 157 for financial assets and liabilities. According to FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-2, the application of FAS 157 to certain non-financial assets and liabilities, including goodwill and other indefinite-lived assets, was deferred to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company’s
goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets tested for impairment on a recurring basis and the deferral of FAS

Note 4 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)





157 applies to these terms. The Company adopted the provisions of FAS 157 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities that are recognized and disclosed at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, on January 1, 2009. The adoption of FAS 157 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial position,
operations or cash flows.





The fair values of the Company’s financial instruments reflect the amounts that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e. the “exit price”). The statement utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs
to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:





§
Level 1:  Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.


§
Level 2:  Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.


§
Level 3:  Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions.





The Company’s financial instruments consist of the following:





Financial Instruments With Carrying Value Equal to Fair Value





§
Cash and cash equivalents


§
Other receivables




The fair value of cash and cash equivalents and other receivables approximates their respective carrying value.





Financial Instruments Not Required to Be Carried at Fair Value




§
Investment in loan portfolios, net


§
Long term debt





The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) recently issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“FAS 159”). The Company has elected not to adopt the provisions of FAS 159. Therefore, the above instruments are not required
to be recorded at their fair value. However, for disclosure purposes in connection with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” the Company is required to estimate the fair value of financial instruments when it is practical to do so. Borrowings under the Company’s credit facility are carried at historical cost, adjusted for additional borrowings less principal repayments, which approximates fair value.





Historically, the Company has measured the fair value of its loan portfolios based on the discounted present value of the actual amount of money that the Company believed a loan portfolio would ultimately produce utilizing entity-specific measurements. Under FAS 157, the Company would have to attempt to determine the fair market value of
hundreds of loan portfolios on a recurring basis. There is no active market for loan portfolios or observable inputs for the fair value estimation. Therefore, there is potential for a significant variance in the actual fair value of a loan portfolio and the Company’s estimate. Given this inherent uncertainty associated with measuring the fair value of its loan portfolios under FAS 157 and the excessive costs that would be incurred, the Company considers it not practical to measure the fair value of its
loan portfolios.

Note 5 - Purchased Loan Portfolios





The Company acquires loan portfolios from federal and state banks and other sources. These loans are acquired at a substantial discount from the actual outstanding balance. The aggregate outstanding contractual loan balances at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 totaled approximately $725 million and $739 million, respectively.





The Company initially records acquired loans at cost. To the extent that the cost of a particular loan portfolio exceeds the net present value of estimated future cash flows expected to be collected, a valuation allowance is recognized in the amount of such impairment.

Note 7 - Other Receivables

Note 8 – Notes Payable





In 2004, the Company entered into an agreement for a credit facility with Varde that provides for up to $25 million of capital (counting each dollar loaned on a cumulative basis) over a five-year term ending in June 2009. The agreement with Varde was amended in June 2009 to extend the term of the agreement to June 2010. All of the other
terms and conditions in the agreement remained the same.





PCM LLC’s wholly-owned subsidiary Matterhorn owed approximately $1.3 million and $2.2 million at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, under the facility in connection with its purchase of certain charged-off loan portfolios. The total amount borrowed under the facility was approximately $16.8 million at June 30, 2009
and December 31, 2008, respectively.





In June 2007, the Company entered into an amendment to the agreement with Varde that extends the maturity date for principal and any other accrued but unpaid amounts on each loan from up to two years to up to three years for portfolio purchases using the credit facility made on or after the effective date of the amendment. Each loan has
minimum payment threshold points, a term of up to three years and bears interest at the rate of 12% per annum. These obligations

are scheduled to be paid in full on dates ranging through September 2011, with the approximate following principal payments due:





Twelve Months EndingJune 30,2010
$1.0 million2011
$0.3 million





Once all funds (including funds invested by the Company) invested in a portfolio financed by Varde have been repaid (with interest) and all servicing fees have been paid, Varde will begin to receive a residual interest in collections of that portfolio. Depending on the performance of the portfolio, these residual interests may never be
paid, they may begin being paid a significant time later than Varde’s loan is repaid (i.e., after the funds invested by the Company are repaid with interest), or, in circumstances where the portfolio performs extremely well, the loan could be repaid early and Varde could conceivably begin to receive its residual interest on or before the date that the loan obligation was originally scheduled to be paid in full. Varde has a first priority security interest in all the assets of Matterhorn, securing repayment
of its loans and payment of its residual interest. PCM LLC, our parent operating company, has guaranteed certain of Matterhorn's operational obligations under the loan documents. The amount of remaining available credit under the facility was approximately $8.2 million at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. The assets of Matterhorn that provide security for Varde's loans were carried at a cost of approximately $1.4 million at June 30, 2009.





The Company has failed to timely meet principal threshold points and payment deadlines on several of its loan agreements with Varde, which constitutes a default under the Master Loan Agreement. Varde has not, however, served the Company with any notice of default and, thereby, has not initiated the default procedures under the Master Loan
Agreement. The following Varde loans have been impacted by delayed collections:





•
A Varde loan that was made in December 2005 was due to be paid in full in December 2008. The original loan was for approximately $4.6 million. The principal balance at July 31, 2009 was approximately $122,000. Varde has informally agreed to extend the portfolio’s payment terms based on current collection rates that are anticipated to pay off interest and principal owed to Varde over the next several months.


•
A loan that was made in June 2007 failed to generate enough revenue to meet its minimum principal threshold point of $323,000 in June 2009. As of July 31, 2009, this loan is in compliance. Varde has applied principal, interest and other revenues that the Company would otherwise be entitled to, excluding servicing fees, towards paying down this loan.


•
Three loans failed to meet their payment thresholds by approximately $41,000 in May and June 2009. These loans were brought into compliance in August 2009.


•
In May 2009, Varde loaned $71,000 to the Company to pay for legal collections costs for a portfolio. The balance outstanding on this loan at July 31, 2009 was $66,000. Varde has informed the Company that the remaining balance of the loan is now considered to be due and the Company is working with Varde to repay it.





If Varde were to exercise its rights under the default provisions of the Master Loan Agreement, it could demand the immediate payment of all amounts due and recall servicing of the portfolios from PCM LLC, which would have a material impact on the financial condition of the Company.

Lease Commitments





On July 17, 2006, PCM LLC entered into an Office Lease Agreement to lease office space in Buena Park, California.  PCM LLC is using the leased premises as its principal executive offices and operating facility.





The term of the lease is 87 months and commenced on December 1, 2006, and will expire on February 28, 2014. PCM LLC has an option to renew the lease for one additional five-year term at the then prevailing "fair market rental rate" at the end of the term.





The base rent will increase on a yearly basis throughout the term. Future minimum lease commitments under the Buena Park lease for the twelve months ended June 30, will be:

In  addition  to  the  base rent, PCM LLC must pay its pro rata share of the increase in operating expenses, property taxes and property insurance for the building above the total dollar amount of operating expenses, property taxes and property insurance for the 2006 base calendar year.





The building lease contains provisions for incentive payments, future rent increases, or periods in which rent payments are reduced. As the Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis, the difference between the amount paid and the amount charged to rent expense is recorded as a liability. The amount of deferred rent liability
at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 was $183,000 and $196,000, respectively.  Rental expense for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 amounted to approximately $80,000.  Rental expense for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 amounted to approximately $161,000. PCM LLC is obligated under two five-year equipment leases, one expiring in 2009 with minimum payments of $4,800 per year and the other lease expiring in 2011 with minimum payments of $3,900 per year.





Legal Proceedings





On June 3, 2009, a class action lawsuit was filed against Performance Capital Management, LLC, et. al., in Orange County Superior Court in Santa Ana, California. The class has not yet been certified. Plaintiffs claim to be persons who were members of the certified class in the Worley v. Storage USA case, Orange County Superior Court, which
was settled in 2008. The Company acquired the debt owed by the plaintiffs to Storage USA in the latter half of 2004 and the first half of 2005. Plaintiffs make broad, general assertions that the Company has violated the Consumer Credit Reporting Agencies Act with respect to information about the plaintiffs that the Company furnished to consumer reporting agencies after the settlement. Plaintiffs seek injunctive relief, actual and punitive damages to be determined by the court, attorney’s fees and court
costs. This lawsuit has been referred to legal counsel. The merits of the case have not yet been determined. The Company expects to prevail in this lawsuit; however, as litigation is inherently unpredictable, there can be no assurance in this regard. No accrual has been recorded to provide for this case since the potential liability, if any, is not determinable at this time. If the plaintiffs do prevail, however, the results could have a material effect on the Company’s financial position.

The Plan is a contributory plan whereby participants may contribute a percentage of pre-tax annual compensation as outlined in the Plan agreement and as limited by Federal statute.  Participants may also contribute amounts representing distributions from other qualified defined benefit or contribution plans.  The Plan
Sponsor does not make matching contributions.





Note 12 – Subsequent  Events





On July 9, 2009, a class action lawsuit was filed against Performance Capital Management, LLC in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York. The class has not yet been certified. Plaintiff, on behalf of herself and a proposed class, makes broad, general assertions that the Company violated the Fair Debt Collection
Practices Act, 15 U.S.C. Section 1692 et seq. with respect to its debt collection practices. The plaintiffs seek statutory and punitive damages as well as attorney’s fees and court costs. This lawsuit has been referred to legal counsel. The merits of the case have not yet been determined. The Company expects to prevail in this lawsuit; however, as litigation is inherently unpredictable, there can be no assurance in this regard. No accrual has been recorded to provide for this case since the potential liability,
if any, is not determinable at this time. If the plaintiffs do prevail, however, the results could have a material effect on the Company’s financial position.

ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS





OVERVIEW





We acquire assets originated by federal and state banking and savings institutions, loan agencies, and other sources, for the purpose of generating income and cash flow from collecting or selling those assets. Typically, these assets consist of charged-off credit card contracts. These assets are typically purchased and sold as portfolios.
We purchase portfolios using our own cash resources and funds borrowed from a third party.





Before purchasing a portfolio, we conduct due diligence to assess the value of the portfolio. We try to purchase portfolios at a substantial discount to the actual amount of money that they will ultimately produce, so that we can recover the cost we pay for portfolios, repay funds borrowed to purchase portfolios, pay our collection, financing
and operating costs and still have a profit. We record our portfolios at cost based on the purchase price. We reduce the cost bases of our portfolios or pools: (i) based on collections under the cost recovery revenue recognition method; and (ii) by amortizing over the life expectancy of the pool under the interest revenue recognition method, which we are using for the majority of our loan portfolios. The cost basis of a portfolio or pool is also reduced by sales of all or a portion of a portfolio and by impairment
of the net realizable value of a portfolio.





We frequently sell certain portions of portfolios we purchase, in many instances to retain those accounts that best fit our collection profile and to reduce our purchase commitment by reselling the others. We then collect those accounts we retain as a distinct portfolio. We do not generally purchase loan portfolios solely with a view to
their resale, and for this reason we generally do not show portfolios on our balance sheet as “held for investment.” From time to time we sell some of our portfolios either to capitalize on market conditions, to dispose of a portfolio that is not performing or to dispose of a portfolio whose collection life, from our perspective, has run its course.At times we also sell portions of portfolios, when reasonable, to provide cash
for operating expenses and to pay amounts owed to third party lenders. When we engage in sales of portfolios, we continue collecting the accounts right up until the closing of the sale.





Historically, we have measured the fair value of our loan portfolios based on the discounted present value of the actual amount of money that we believed a loan portfolio would ultimately produce utilizing entity-specific measurements. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), however, recently issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. It does not require any new fair value measurements, but rather applies to all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. FAS 157 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement would need to be determined based
on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.





Under FAS 157, we would have to attempt to determine the fair market value of hundreds of loan portfolios on a recurring basis. There is no active market for loan portfolios or observable inputs for the fair value estimation. Therefore, there is potential for a significant variance in the actual fair value of a loan portfolio and our estimate.
Given this inherent uncertainty associated with measuring the fair value of our loan portfolios under FAS 157 and the excessive costs that would be incurred, we consider it not practical to measure the fair value of our loan portfolios.





We earn revenues from collecting our portfolios and from selling our portfolios or portions of our portfolios. Under the cost recovery method, we recognize gross revenue when we collect an account and when we sell a portfolio or a portion of it. Under the interest method of accounting, portfolio collection revenue is accrued based on each
pool’s effective interest rate applied to the pool’s adjusted cost basis. The cost basis of each pool is increased by revenue earned and decreased by gross collections and impairments.





On our statement of operations, when using the cost recovery method, we reduce our total revenues by the cost basis recovery of our portfolios to arrive at net revenue. For collections revenue, we reduce the cost basis of the portfolio dollar-for-dollar until we have completely recovered the cost basis of the portfolio. Alternatively, the
interest method applies an effective interest rate, or internal rate of return (“IRR”), to the adjusted cost basis of the pool, which remains unchanged throughout the life of the pool unless there is an increase in subsequent expected cash flows. We use the interest method of accounting for most of our loan portfolios purchased after December 31, 2006. However, a significant proportion of our portfolios are accounted for under the cost recovery method. This is due to a steady decline in the number
of portfolio purchases since 2007.





20
 Index





Under the cost recovery method, when we sell all or a portion of a portfolio, to the extent of remaining cost basis for the portfolio, we reduce the cost basis of the portfolio by a pro rata percentage of the original portfolio cost.This method of accounting also applies
to portfolios purchased and then immediately sold prior to being aggregated into a pool. Under the interest method, however, when we sell all or a portion of a portfolio in a pool, it reduces the cost basis of the pool by a pro rata percentage of the average portfolio cost in the pool. Our policy does not take into account whether the portion of the portfolio we are selling may be more or less valuable than the remaining accounts that comprise the portfolio.





For those portfolios where we are using the cost recovery method of accounting, our net revenues from portfolio collections may vary from quarter to quarter because the number and magnitude of portfolios where we are still recovering costs may vary, and because the return rates of portfolios whose costs we have already recovered in full
may vary. Similarly, our net revenues from portfolio sales may vary from quarter to quarter depending on the number and magnitude of portfolios (or portions) we decide to sell and the market values of the sold portfolios (or portions) relative to their cost bases.





We generally collect our portfolios over periods of time ranging from three to seven years, with the bulk of a portfolio's yield forecasted to come in the first three years we collect it. If we succeed in collecting our portfolios, we expect to recover the cost we paid for them, repay the loans used to purchase them, pay our collection,
financing and operating costs, and still have excess cash.





Historically, our statement of operations generally reported proportionately low net revenues in periods that had substantial collections of recently purchased portfolios, due to the “front-loaded” cost basis recovery associated with portfolios where we used the cost basis recovery method. As a result, during times of rapid
growth in our portfolio purchases (and probably for several quarters thereafter), our statement of operations showed a net loss. The use of the interest method of accounting as of January 1, 2007, eliminates this front-loading effect by amortizing the portfolio loan costs over the expected life of the loan portfolio. More collections from older portfolios whose cost bases have been completely recovered, along with the use of the interest method of accounting, may contribute to our statement of operations reporting
a lower net loss or possibly net income, assuming our portfolios perform over time as anticipated and we collect them in an efficient manner.





Our operating costs and expenses consist principally of salaries and benefits and general and administrative expenses.  Fluctuations in our salaries and benefits correspond roughly to fluctuations in our headcount. Our general and administrative expenses include non-salaried collection costs, legal collections costs and telephone,
rent and professional expenses. These expenses also include expenses associated with being a publicly reporting entity. Fluctuations in telephone and collection costs generally correspond to the volume of accounts we are attempting to collect. Professional expenses tend to vary based on specific issues we must resolve.  Interest and financing costs tend to decrease as the amount we borrow decreases.





BASIS OF PRESENTATION





We present our financial statements based on February 4, 2002, the date we emerged from bankruptcy, being treated as the inception of our business. In our emergence from bankruptcy, we succeeded to the assets and liabilities of six entities that were in bankruptcy. The equity owners of these entities approved a reorganization plan under
which the owners of the six entities agreed to receive ownership interests in the Company in exchange for their ownership interests in the predecessor entities. Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, and its wholly-owned special purpose subsidiary Matterhorn. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.





The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States on a “going concern” basis, which presumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business
for the foreseeable future. We have experienced a steady decline in our revenues and have now reached a point where we may not have sufficient capital resources to cover our operating expenses over the next twelve months. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and the amount and classification
of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. These adjustments could be material. See the section entitled “Going Concern” in Note 2 to the Condensed Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES





Investments in Portfolios





We account for our investment in loan portfolios in accordance with the provisions of The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, or AICPA, previously issued SOP, 03-03, “Accounting for Loans or Certain Securities Acquired in a Transfer” (“SOP 03-03”), using either the interest method or the cost recovery
method. SOP 03-03 addresses accounting for differences between initial estimated cash flows expected to be collected from purchased loans, or “pools,” and subsequent changes to those estimated cash flows. For portfolios purchased on or before December 31, 2006, and for portfolios purchased after that date where the amount and timing of future cash collections on a pool of loans are not reasonably estimable, we account for such portfolios using the cost recovery method. If the accounts in these portfolios
have different risk characteristics than those included in other portfolios acquired during the same quarter, or the necessary information is not available to estimate future cash flows, then they are not aggregated with other portfolios and they are accounted for under the cost recovery method.





We present investments in portfolios on our consolidated balance sheet at the lower of cost, market, or estimated net realizable value. We reduce the cost basis of a portfolio or a pool on a proportionate basis when we sell a portion of the portfolio, and we treat amounts collected on a portfolio or pool as a reduction to the carrying basis
of the portfolio (i) on an individual portfolio basis using the cost recovery method and (ii) over the life of the pool using the interest method. When we present financial statements, we assess the estimated net realizable value of our portfolios or pools each quarter on a portfolio-by-portfolio basis under the cost recovery method or on a pooling basis under the interest method, and we reduce the value of any portfolio or pool that has suffered impairment because its cost basis exceeds its estimated net realizable
value. Estimated net realizable value represents management’s estimates, based upon present plans and intentions, of the discounted present value of future collections. We must make assumptions to determine estimated net realizable value, the most significant of which are the magnitude and timing of future collections and the discount rate used to determine present value. Our calculation of net realizable value does not take into account the cost to collect the future cash streams. Using the cost recovery
method, once we write down a particular portfolio we do not increase it in subsequent periods if our plans and intentions or our assumptions change. Using the interest method, if the cash flow estimates increase subsequent to recording an impairment, recovery of the previously recognized impairment is made prior to any increases to the IRR.





Under the cost recovery method, when we collect an account in a portfolio, we reduce the cost basis of the portfolio dollar-for-dollar until we have completely recovered the cost basis of the portfolio. This method has the effect of “front-loading” expenses, which may result in a portfolio initially showing no net revenue for
a period of time and then showing only net revenue once we have recovered its entire cost basis.





For the majority of portfolios purchased after December 31, 2006, we use the interest method. The interest method applies an effective interest rate, or internal rate of return (“IRR”) to the cost basis of the pool, which is to remain level, or unchanged throughout the life of the pool unless there is an increase in subsequent
expected cash flows. Subsequent increases in cash flows expected to be collected generally are recognized prospectively through an upward adjustment of the pool’s effective interest rate over its remaining life. Subsequent decreases in expected cash flows do not change the effective interest rate, but are recognized as an impairment of the cost basis of the pool, and are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations as a reduction in revenue with a corresponding valuation allowance offsetting the
investment in loan portfolios in the consolidated statements of financial condition. If the cash flow estimates increase subsequent to recording an impairment, recovery of the previously recognized impairment is made prior to any increases to the IRR. Any change to our estimates could be material to our financial statements.





We account for each static pool as a unit for the economic life of the pool (similar to one loan) for recognition of revenue from loan portfolios, for collections applied to the cost basis of loan portfolios and for provision for loss or impairment. Revenue from loan portfolios is accrued based on each pool’s effective interest rate
applied to each pool’s adjusted cost basis. The cost basis of each pool is increased by revenue earned and decreased by gross collections and impairments.





22
 Index





Under the cost recovery method, when we sell all or a portion of a portfolio, to the extent of remaining cost basis for the portfolio, we reduce the cost basis of the portfolio by a pro rata percentage of the original portfolio cost. This method of accounting also applies to portfolios purchased and then immediately sold prior to being
aggregated into a pool. Under the interest method, however, when we sell all or a portion of a portfolio in a pool, it reduces the cost basis of the pool by a pro rata percentage of the average portfolio cost in the pool. Our policy does not take into account whether the portion of the portfolio we are selling may be more or less valuable than the remaining accounts that comprise the portfolio.





Credit Facility





As discussed in greater detail below, our credit facility with Varde Investment Partners, L.P. (“Varde”) provides for up to $25 million of capital (counting each dollar loaned on a cumulative basis) with a term ending in June 2010. The facility provides for Varde to receive a residual interest in portfolio collections after
all funds invested in the portfolio have been repaid (with interest) and all servicing fees have been paid. We do not record a liability for contingent future payments of residual interests due to the distressed nature of the portfolio assets and the lack of assurance that collections sufficient to result in a liability will actually occur. When such payments actually occur, we reflect them in our statement of operations as other financing costs.





OPERATING RESULTS





For ease of presentation in the following discussions of “Operating Results” and “Liquidity and Capital Resources”, we round amounts less than one million dollars to the nearest thousand dollars and amounts greater than one million dollars to the nearest hundred thousand dollars.





Comparison of Results for the Quarters Ended June 30, 2009 and 2008





The following compares our results for the three months ended June 30, 2009, to the three months ended June 30, 2008. We had a net loss of $3,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to a net loss of $290,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2008.





Revenue





The following table summarizes the total cash proceeds we generated from operations and the net revenues we recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively (see consolidated Statements of Operations and Note 5 to the Condensed Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

* Excluding gross collections applied to principal (see Note 5 to the Condensed Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements).





The slow down in the economy and our lack of capital to purchase new portfolios has resulted in our total cash proceeds continuing to decline. Our total cash proceeds from collections decreased by $0.8 million and our total cash proceeds from sales of portfolios decreased by $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared
to the three months ended June 30, 2008.





Our total net revenues decreased by $0.7 million to $1.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to $2.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2008. Portfolio collections provided 100% and 96.4% of our total net revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  We had no revenues
from portfolio sales in the three months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to $77,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2008.  More significant was the $696,000 decrease in net portfolio collections, which was $1.4 million and $2.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. These significant decreases in total cash proceeds and net revenues are the result of fewer portfolio purchases, fewer portfolio sales and lower than projected performance of our portfolios, as discussed
in more detail in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of this Report below.





23
 Index





Our net portfolio purchases of $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 were substantially higher than those of the same period in 2009, where there were no portfolio purchases made. We expect our portfolio purchases in 2009 to be substantially lower than our portfolio purchases in 2008, unless we are able to obtain additional
capital to purchase portfolios. During the second quarter of 2009, we used the limited cash flow from operating activities of $284,000 that we generated to pay down principal and interest owed to Varde.





In an effort to offset declining portfolio purchases beginning in 2006 and to continue to maximize use of our collection infrastructure, we began implementing other collection strategies in 2007, such as serving as a third-party collection agency, expanding use of the judicial process to collect specific accounts determined to be suitable
for such an approach, and improving the accuracy of debtor contact information contained in our databases, but have not realized significant gains from these strategies. Due to lack of sufficient volume to justify the costs associated with the third party collections program, in September 2008 we decided to eliminate the program and focus our resources on collecting our own and Matterhorn’s portfolios.





We have scaled back our legal collections program in 2009.  The level of our expenditures on legal collections going forward will be significantly lower than the expenditures we have made in the past. We utilize our network of third party law firms on a commission basis in cases where we determine that it is financially or strategically
prudent to use legal collections to collect an account. Legal collections tend to have longer time horizons but are expected to contribute to an increase in returns over two to five years. The method used to select accounts for legal collections is a critical component of a successful legal collections program. If accounts that have a higher likelihood of being collected using legal process are accurately selected, overall collection efficiency should increase. We do not have a set policy regarding when to initiate
legal process. Given the varying nature of each case, we exercise our business judgment following an analysis of accounts using computer-based guidance to determine when we believe using legal process is appropriate (i.e., where a debtor has sufficient assets to repay the indebtedness and has, to date, been unwilling to pay). Once a judgment is obtained, the primary methods for collecting on the judgment are liens on property and garnishment, both of which have a long time horizon for collection.





With all of our collections efforts, we are keenly aware that claims based on the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (“FDCPA”), the Consumer Credit Reporting Agencies Act and comparable state statutes may result in lawsuits, including class action lawsuits, which could be material to the Company due to the remedies available
under these statutes. Two such lawsuits have been filed against the Company and are discussed in more detail in Notes 9 and 12 to the Condensed Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.





We incurred a net loss in the second quarter of 2009 of $3,000 as compared to a net loss of $290,000 in the second quarter of 2008. The period-to-period difference in net loss reflected on our consolidated Statements of Operations was due to a lower portfolio impairment charge of $40,000 in the second quarter of 2009, as compared to an
impairment charge of $595,000 in the second quarter of 2008 This difference was also the result of more older loan portfolios, accounted for using the cost recovery method, having a zero cost basis in the first half of 2009 as compared to the first half of 2008, with each dollar collected recorded as income. In addition, we have continued to decrease our operating costs and expenses and interest and other financing costs in 2009.





Members’ equity decreased by $3,000 in the second quarter of 2009 from $787,000 at March 31, 2009. The decrease in members’ equity is attributed to the net loss of $3,000 that we incurred in the second quarter of 2009.





Operating Expenses





Our total operating costs and expenses decreased to $1.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2009 from $2.3 million in three months ended June 30, 2009, a $1.0 million decrease. This decrease was due to:  a $331,000 decrease in salaries and benefits from significantly reducing staff and implementing a reduced pay structure
for remaining collectors and administrative personnel as well as reducing officer and director compensation; a $145,000 decrease in general and administrative expenses primarily resulting from a decrease in legal collections and a general reduction in the scope of our business activities; and a $555,000 decrease in the provision for portfolio impairment charge of $40,000 in the second quarter of 2009 as compared to a portfolio impairment charge of $595,000 in the second quarter of 2008. We expect our operating
expenses to remain relatively constant or decrease due to our aggressive efforts to keep our costs in line with our revenues.





24
 Index





Impairments arise when actual portfolio collections are generated at a slower rate than forecasted using the interest method. If actual portfolio collections are generated at a faster rate than originally forecasted, a reduction in our net impairment provision occurs. The current economic conditions have made it challenging to estimate
when a portfolio will generate collections revenue and, therefore, we anticipate that we will continue to record impairment charges. Due to such fluctuations in the economy, the degree to which such impairments impact our financial statements will continue to vary from quarter-to-quarter.





Our current collection infrastructure could handle a greater volume of accounts. We view our material fixed costs as:


•
Payroll for administrative staff;


•
Rent;


•
Computer maintenance;


•
Professional services; and


•
Insurance.





We do not believe these costs will increase substantially even in the event we significantly increase the volume of accounts that we collect. Our purchases of portfolios in 2009 using our own and Varde funds have been and, we expect, will continue to be substantially lower than those made in previous years.





Our interest expense and other financing costs were $69,000 and $97,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, a $28,000 decrease. The decrease was due primarily to paying down the debt that is owed to Varde.  The Varde debt decreased to $1.3 million at June 30, 2009, as compared to $3.7 million at June
30, 2008. We expect that our use of the Varde facility to purchase portfolios will remain low due to our limited cash reserves.





Comparison of Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2009 and 2008





The following compares our results for the six months ended June 30, 2009, to the six months ended June 30, 2008. We had net income of $308,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to net income of $72,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2008.





Revenue





The following table summarizes the total cash proceeds we generated from operations and the net revenues we recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively (see consolidated Statements of Operations and Note 5 to the Condensed Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008, our total cash proceeds from collections decreased by $1.8 million and our total cash proceeds from sales of portfolios decreased by $1.8 million. As discussed above in the quarter-to-quarter comparison, our cash collections from portfolios are decreasing
significantly as we experience the effects of fewer portfolio purchases and lower than projected performance of our portfolios due in large part to a significant slowdown in the economy. If a portfolio’s cash collections come in at slower rate than the loan repayments due to Varde, the cash is immediately used to pay Varde instead of being reinvested in new portfolio purchases.





25
 Index





Our total net revenues decreased by $2.0 million to $2.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to $4.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in total net revenues was due to significant sales of portfolios in the first six months of 2008 as compared to the first six months of 2009 and collections
revenue decreasing due to a continuing decline in portfolio purchases and a lower level of debtor liquidity. Portfolio collections provided 99.8% and 90.0% of our total net revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. We had net revenues of $4,000 from portfolio sales in the six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to $485,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2008, a $481,000 decrease.   Net revenues from portfolio collections decreased by $1.5 million
with $4.4 million in the six months ended June 20, 2008 as compared to $2.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009.





Our net portfolio purchases of $60,000 in the first six months of 2009 were substantially lower than our net portfolio purchases of $1.6 million in the first six months of 2008. We expect our portfolio purchases in 2009 to be substantially lower than our portfolio purchases in 2008 due to a lack of capital to purchase additional portfolios.





Net income for the first six months of 2009 was $308,000 as compared to net income of $72,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2008, a $236,000 increase. The net income in the first six months of 2009 reflected on our consolidated Statements of Operations was due to a $150,000 recovery of portfolio impairment, as compared to an impairment
charge of $976,000 in the first six months of 2008. The recovery in the portfolio impairment provision of $150,000 was the result of collections being generated at a faster rate than forecasted at the time the original impairment provisions were charged. The increase in net income was also attributable to a significant decrease in our operating costs and expenses and interest and other financing costs in the first six months of 2009 as compared to the first six months of 2008.  In addition, a greater number
of older loan portfolios, accounted for using the cost recovery method, had a zero cost basis in the first half of 2009 as compared to the first half of 2008, with all collections from these portfolios being recorded as income.





During the first six months of 2009, we generated positive cash flow from operating activities of $749,000, enabling us to pay down third-party loans. Members’ equity, however, increased by $308,000 in first six months of 2009 from $476,000 at December 31, 2008. This increase in members’ equity is attributed to the net income
of $308,000 that we generated in the first six months of 2009.

Our total operating costs and expenses decreased to $2.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009 from $4.5 million in six months ended June 30, 2009, a $2.0 million decrease, due to:  a $667,000 decrease in salaries and benefits resulting from a significant reduction in staff and implementation of a reduced pay structure
for remaining collectors and administrative personnel as well as a reduction in officer and director compensation; a $311,000 decrease in general and administrative expenses, primarily resulting from a decreased emphasis on legal collections and a general reduction in the our business operations; and a $1,126,000 decrease in the provision for portfolio impairment due to a $150,000 recovery of impairment charge in the first half of 2009, as compared to a portfolio impairment charge of $976,000 in the first half
of 2008. We expect our operating expenses to remain relatively constant or decrease due to our aggressive efforts to keep our costs in line with our revenues.





Our interest expense and other financing costs were $147,000 and $218,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, a $71,000 decrease. The decrease was due primarily to paying down debt owed to Varde.  The Varde debt decreased to $1.3 million at June 30, 2009 as compared to $3.7 million at June 30, 2008. We
plan to continue to purchase portfolios using the Varde credit facility when feasible. We expect, however, that our participation in such portfolio purchases will remain low due to our limited cash reserves.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES





Our cash and cash equivalents decreased by $180,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2009. Cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, decreased to $578,000 at June 30, 2009, from $758,000 at December 31, 2008. Our primary sources of cash are cash flows from operations and borrowings. Recently, cash has been used for repayments
of borrowings, purchases of property and equipment, legal collections, public reporting company expenses and general working capital. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, our portfolio collections and sales generated $3.0 million of cash, we borrowed $117,000, and we used $2.6 million for operating and other activities, $60,000 for purchases of new portfolios, and $1.0 million to repay loans.





Our portfolios provide our principal long-term source of liquidity. Our purchase of portfolios is limited by the amount of cash reserves and borrowed funds we have available and the availability of reasonably priced portfolios. Cash generated from operations depends upon our ability to efficiently collect on the loan portfolios. Over the
life of a portfolio, our goal is to convert the portfolio to cash in an amount that equals or exceeds the cost basis of the portfolio. After the cost basis has been recovered, each dollar collected, if any, is recorded as income. Historically, we have collected two to two and a half times a portfolio’s purchase price over three to seven years. Due to a lack of debtor liquidity, however, we are experiencing movement of the timing of our portfolio collections towards the far end of this range, which has in
a few cases impacted our ability to timely repay amounts owed to Varde. Many factors, including the state of the economy, paying too much for a portfolio, the liquidity of debtors, and our ability to retain qualified collectors, may impact our ability to collect an amount of cash necessary to timely recover the cost we pay for a portfolio, repay funds borrowed to purchase the portfolio, pay our collection, financing and operating costs and still have a profit. Fluctuations in these factors may cause a negative
impact on our business and materially impact our expected future cash flows.





While prices of loan portfolios have fallen recently, our low cash reserves have prevented us from capitalizing on the availability of lower cost portfolios. The drop in prices has also made it more difficult to sell portfolios at reasonable prices. In addition, the downturn in the economy appears to have resulted in a decrease in debtor
liquidity, which generally has the effect of reducing the number of collectable accounts and increasing the time and resources it takes to collect amounts owed. With loan terms of three years, longer collection timelines have forced us to use our limited cash proceeds to pay amounts owed to Varde instead using it to acquire new portfolios. In addition, Varde is applying amounts owed to us from Matterhorn towards repayment of its loans. The result is that we are expending cash much faster than we are generating
income.





Based upon current cash and cash equivalent balances and planned spending rates for the remainder of 2009, we believe that we do not have adequate cash and cash equivalents on hand to support our business operations over the next twelve months. This projection may change, however, if actual results differ significantly from expectations.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as discussed below under the section entitled “Going Concern.”





We have and will continue to greatly curtail purchases of new portfolios and use a greater portion of our cash reserves for repaying Varde, paying operating expenses and collecting our existing portfolios as efficiently as possible. We will continue our efforts to reduce variable costs associated with collections. If, however, such efforts
do not provide sufficient capital to meet expected and unexpected operating costs and expenses, as well as cover amounts owed to Varde, we may engage in further sales of portfolios or portions of portfolios to third parties, if possible, and/or borrow against our unencumbered portfolios to generate supplemental capital. If these efforts fail, we may not be able to continue our operating.





In the first half of 2009, our total net revenues of $2.9 million exceeded our total operating, interest and other expenses of $2.6 million, resulting in net income of $308,000. Without the $150,000 recovery of portfolio impairment charge, however, our operating and other expenses would be $2.7 million and our net income would decrease
commensurately.





As we have stated above, the cash we generate from portfolio collections has been steadily declining. Total portfolio cash collections decreased by $1.8 million to $3.0 million in the first half of 2009 as compared to the first half of 2008. We can attribute this significant decline to a steady decline in portfolio purchases over the
past few years and the underperformance of our portfolios with collections coming in at a slower rate than we projected. We expect this trend to continue unless the economy improves, the timing of our collections on loan portfolios is shortened and we are able to purchase additional portfolios. If cash collections continue to decline, we may be unable to recover the cost we pay for our portfolios, repay funds borrowed to purchase portfolios and pay our collecting and operating costs, which could result in a material
reduction in our operations or an inability to continue our operations.





27
 Index





Beginning in 2007, we began instituting cost-cutting and capital preservation measures in an effort to address our lower revenues, including foregoing payment of regular distributions to our unit holders, purchasing portfolios with borrowed funds, increasing portfolio sales, reducing our legal collections, and cutting salaries and benefits
through a reduction in administrative and collection personnel. Our goal in 2009 has been to achieve at least break-even results.





In 2008, we reduced our collection and administrative staff in an effort to align our operating expenses to our lower collections revenues. As of August 1, 2009, we had a total of 47 full-time employees and 3 part-time employees. As of March 1, 2009, we had a total of 53 full-time employees and 4 part-time employees. Our reduction in collections
staff, however, must take into consideration the significant upfront investment in recruiting and training collection personnel and the need to retain enough collectors to effectively service our portfolios. We may increase our use of third-party collection agencies to service portions of our loan portfolios if the volume of our loan portfolios exceeds the capacity of our collections infrastructure to service them.





We periodically assess the timing and amount of our portfolio cash collections estimates under the interest method of accounting and make adjustments to those estimates in an effort to align our projections to the factors, including those discussed above, that determine what and when we can expect to collect on our portfolios. We expect
to collect two to two and a half times a portfolio’s purchase price over three to seven years. Due to a lack of debtor liquidity, however, we are experiencing movement of the timing of our portfolio collections towards the far end of this range, which has in a few cases impacted our ability to timely repay amounts owed to Varde.





In an attempt to operate as efficiently as possible, we continually focus on determining which portfolios or portions of portfolios are expected to provide the greatest return and shift our collections efforts accordingly. We use a dialer to assist our collectors with focusing on portfolios that continue to show results. By monitoring the
results of calls originated through our dialer, we are able to identify portfolios that require more cost to collect than others. At times, generally where we have worked to collect portfolios over an extended period of time, we determine that some of our portfolios’ collection lives have run their course from our perspective. We will continue to sell portfolios or portions of portfolios, if possible, if we believe portfolio performance is not up to our expectations and/or we require additional capital
to fund our operations.





We have not been able to use the Varde credit facility in 2009 due to an inability to contribute our percentage of the loan amount towards the acquisition of a portfolio. During 2008, we purchased $1.9 million of portfolios (net of the $1.4 portion that was immediately sold). In the first quarter of 2009, we purchased $60,000 of new portfolios.
Our assessment of market conditions, as well as our ability to find suitable financing, will continue to dictate whether and when we purchase portfolios. We do not anticipate making significant portfolio purchases, either financed or on our own, in the remainder of 2009 due to a lack of capital.





Varde Credit Facility





On July 13, 2004, effective June 10, 2004, we entered into a definitive Master Loan Agreement with Varde, a well-known participant in the debt collection industry, to augment our portfolio purchasing capacity using capital provided by Varde. The agreement provides for up to $25 million of capital (counting each dollar loaned on a cumulative
basis) over a five-year term ending in June 2009. The agreement was amended in June 2009 to extend the term of the agreement through June 2010. All of the other terms and conditions in the agreement remained the same.





Varde is not under any obligation to make a loan to us if it does not approve of the portfolio(s) we propose to acquire and the terms of the acquisition, but it has the right to participate in any acquisition of a portfolio that we decide to purchase that is in excess of $500,000, pursuant to a right of first refusal.





We must agree with Varde on the terms for each specific advance under the credit facility, including such material terms as: (a) the relative sizes of our participation and Varde's in supplying the purchase price; (b) the amount of servicing fees we will receive for collecting the portfolio; (c) the rates of return on the funds advanced
by Varde and us; and (d) the split of any residual collections after repayment of the purchase price (plus interest) to Varde and  us and payment of servicing fees.





28
 Index





We will never have outstanding indebtedness of the full $25 million at any one time due to the cumulative nature of the credit facility. We have created Matterhorn, a wholly-owned subsidiary, to serve as the entity that will purchase portfolios under the loan agreement with Varde. Varde has a first priority security interest in all the
assets of Matterhorn securing repayment of its loans and payment of its interest in residual collections. Performance Capital Management, LLC has entered into a Servicing Agreement with Matterhorn as part of the agreement with Varde, and Varde has a security interest in Matterhorn's rights to proceeds under the Servicing Agreement. Under the Servicing Agreement, Performance Capital Management collects the portfolios purchased by Matterhorn in exchange for a fee that is agreed upon prior to the funding of each
individual financing by Varde. Performance Capital Management, LLC also guarantees certain of Matterhorn's operational obligations under the loan documents.





Varde may exercise its rights under its various security interests and the guaranty if an event of default occurs. These rights include demanding the immediate payment of all amounts due to Varde, as well as liquidating the collateral. A failure to make payments when due, if not cured within five days, is an event of default. Other events
of default include:





•
Material breaches of representations and warranties;


•
Uncured breaches of agreements having a material adverse effect;


•
Bankruptcy or insolvency of Performance Capital Management, LLC or Matterhorn;


•
Fraudulent conveyances;


•
Defaults in other debt or debt-related agreements;


•
Failure to pay judgments when due;


•
Material loss or damage to, or unauthorized transfer of, the collateral;


•
Change in control of Performance Capital Management;


•
Termination of Performance Capital Management as the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement; and


•
Breach of Varde's right of first refusal to finance portfolio acquisitions.





At June 30, 2009, Matterhorn owed $1.3 million under the facility in connection with purchases of certain charged-off loan portfolios. The assets of Matterhorn that provide security for Varde's loan were carried at a cost of $1.4 million at June 30, 2009. The loan advances have minimum payment threshold points with terms of up to three
years and bear interest at the rate of 12% per annum. These obligations are scheduled to be repaid in full on dates ranging through September 2011. Once all funds (including those invested by us) invested in a portfolio financed by Varde have been repaid (with interest) and all servicing fees have been paid, Varde will begin to receive a residual interest in collections of that portfolio. Depending on the performance of the portfolio, these residual interests may never be paid, they may begin being paid a significant
time later than Varde’s loan is repaid (i.e., after the funds invested by us are repaid with interest), or, in circumstances where the portfolio performs extremely well, the loan could be repaid early and Varde could conceivably begin to receive its residual interest on or before the date that the loan obligation was originally scheduled to be paid in full. The amount of remaining available credit under the facility at June 30, 2009 was $8.2 million. Matterhorn has borrowed a total of $16.8 million, with
$1.3 million outstanding at June 30, 2009.





In June 2007, we entered into an amendment to the Master Loan Agreement with Varde, a copy of which was filed as an exhibit to our report on Form 10-QSB for the period ended June 30, 2007. The amendment extends the maturity date for principal and any other accrued but unpaid amounts on each loan made on or after the effective date of the
amendment from up to two years to up to three years. This change was made to allow more time for a portfolio purchased using the Varde credit facility to generate sufficient collection revenues to pay the balance of the Varde loans, including principal and any other accrued but unpaid amounts, in full by their due dates. As of June 30, 2009, all of the Company’s loan agreements with Varde have three year terms.





Due primarily to the state of the economy, we are finding that the time it takes us to collect the Matterhorn portfolios is extending beyond three years, resulting in lower collections performance than required by the Varde loan agreements. As a result, the Company has failed to timely meet principal threshold points and payment deadlines
on several of its loan agreements with Varde, which constitutes a default under the Master Loan Agreement. Varde has not, however, served the Company with any notice of default and, thereby, has not initiated the default procedures under the Master Loan Agreement. The following Varde loans have been impacted by delayed collections:





29
 Index





•
A Varde loan that was made in December 2005 was due to be paid in full in December 2008. The original loan was for approximately $4.6 million. The principal balance at July 31, 2009 was approximately $122,000. Varde has informally agreed to extend the portfolio’s payment terms based on current collection rates that are anticipated to pay off interest and principal owed to Varde over the next several months.


•
A loan that was made in June 2007 failed to generate enough revenue to meet its minimum principal threshold point of $323,000  in June 2009. As of July 31, 2009, this loan is in compliance. Varde has applied principal, interest and other revenues that the Company would otherwise be entitled to, excluding servicing fees, towards paying down this loan.


•
Three loans failed to meet their payment thresholds by approximately $41,000 in May and June 2009.  These loans were brought into compliance in August 2009.


•
In May 2009, Varde loaned $71,000 to the Company to pay for legal collections costs for a portfolio. The balance outstanding on this loan at July 31, 2009 was $66,000. Varde has informed the Company that the remaining balance of the loan is now considered to be due and the Company is working with Varde to repay it.





If Varde were to exercise its rights under the default provisions of the Master Loan Agreement, it could demand the immediate payment of all amounts due and recall servicing of the portfolios from Performance Capital Management, LLC, which would have a material impact on our financial condition and ability to continue operating.





Going Concern





The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States on a “going concern” basis, which presumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business
for the foreseeable future. The Company has experienced a steady decline in its revenues and cash resources and has now reached a point where it may not have sufficient capital resources to cover its operating expenses over the next twelve months. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.





The Company’s ability to purchase loan portfolios using its own funds has steadily decreased since 2007, resulting in a commensurate decrease in revenues from portfolio collections. The Company’s efforts have thus far been, and are expected to be in the future, significantly impacted by general economic, competitive and other
factors beyond its control. In addition, Varde has applied principal, interest and other revenues that the Company would otherwise be entitled to from Matterhorn, excluding servicing fees, towards paying down its loans to Matterhorn made in connection with portfolio purchases, thereby further reducing capital that would otherwise be available to the Company to fund its operations.





The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern, therefore, is dependent upon the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund its operations and acquire new debt portfolios at prices that enable it to pay for its operating and other expenses and still have income to purchase additional portfolios. The Company has undertaken a series
of cost reduction measures to conserve cash, including the following:


·
Suspending distributions to the Company’s unit holders;


·
Reducing officer and director compensation;


·
Reducing the pay structure for collectors and administrative personnel and laying off employees; and


·
Reducing general and administrative expenses, primarily as a result of a decreased emphasis on legal collections, and a general reduction in the scope of operations.





These efforts have not, however, been sufficient to counter the significant decrease in collections revenues. Selling portfolios to cover the shortfall in collections revenues is a short-term option since fewer portfolios will generate lower collections revenues over time, which is the primary source of capital from operations for the Company.
Even if the Company seeks to sell a portfolio, market prices for loan portfolios have dropped to the point where the Company may not generate enough cash from the sale to cover the principal balance and interest due to Varde on the loan used to purchase the portfolio, and still have cash left over to pay for operating expenses.





30
 Index





Management's plan is to obtain capital resources through the sale, if possible, of portfolios at reasonable prices, as well as through equity and/or debt financing. At this time, the Company has received no commitments for additional financing. If the Company is unable to obtain additional funding for its operations, it may not be able
to continue operations as proposed, requiring it to further modify its business plan, curtail various aspects of its operations or cease operations altogether. There can be no assurance that the Company’s plans to continue as a going concern will be successful. As an alternative, management is exploring opportunities to sell the Company.





Capital Expenditures





We plan to continue making expenditures on legal collections, but the level is expected to be significantly lower in 2009 than in previous years. We may from time to time acquire capital assets on an as needed basis. Our most significant capital assets are our dialer and our telephone switch. We have paid for our new dialer in full and
have no significant expenditures planned for capital assets at the time of this filing.

ITEM 4T.  CONTROLSAND PROCEDURES





As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Operations Officer and our Accounting Manager, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)). In designing and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide
absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, may be detected. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Operations Officer and our Accounting Manager concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2009, to provide reasonable assurance that material information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.





There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
