BOCA RATON, Fla., Nov. 15, 2010 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Anchor Funding Services, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: AFNG) announced today its results of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2010.

The company reported income from continuing operations of $51,572 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 as compared to a loss from continuing operations of $(396,922) for the comparable period of the prior year.

The company reported a loss from continuing operations of $(67,087) for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to a loss from continuing operations of $(1,070,575) for the comparable period of the prior year. The nine months ended September 30, 2010, also had a loss from discontinued operations of $(527,558) resulting in a net loss attributable to common shareholder of $(502,714) as compared to a net loss attributable to common shareholder of $(1,425,127) for the comparable period of the prior year.
Our improved operations are attributable to an increase in Anchor's base business and reduced operating expenses of approximately $1 million per year resulting from our cost saving initiatives implemented in the fourth quarter of 2009.
We continue to experience demand from small businesses seeking credit and accounts receivable financing. As a result, Anchor has enjoyed continued growth in its accounts receivable portfolio in the third quarter of 2010 having purchased approximately $25,700,000 of invoices for the quarter compared to approximately $16,400,000 for the comparable period of the prior year.
On October 6, 2010, Anchor completed its rescission of its 80% owned subsidiary, Brookridge, and therefore will no longer be impacted from Brookridge losses on a going forward basis. This marks a continuing improvement in Anchor's operating performance of its base business as the company has increased its invoice purchases and lowered its operating overhead.
Based upon anticipated continued growth and success with our new marketing programs, we expect Anchor, excluding Brookridge, to show continued improvement in its operating performance. We are excited about our future expansion opportunities and will continue to communicate important developments as they occur.
