FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – November 16, 2009

Anchor Funding Services, Inc. reports third quarter fiscal 2009 results.

Boca Raton, Fl. (PR Newswire) November 16, 2009 – Anchor Funding Services, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board Symbol “AFNG”) announced today its results of operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. The company reported third quarter 2009 net finance revenues of $390,555 as compared to $338,356 for the comparable period of the prior year. The company reported nine month ended September 30, 2009 net finance revenues of $1,188,035, as compared to $823,533 for the comparable period of the prior year.  The company also reported a third quarter 2009 net loss of $396,922 as compared to a net loss of $240,427 for the comparable period of the prior year.  The company reported a nine month 2009 net loss of $1,070,575, as compared to $947,680 for the comparable period of the prior year.  The increase in net financing revenues for each reporting period is attributable to the company’s investments in launching various sales initiatives. The net loss for each reporting period is attributable to costs associated with our sales initiatives, marketing and operations personnel, and increases in general and administrative costs. In September 2009, the Company began implementing certain cost reducing initiatives which are expected to reduce annual operating expenses by approximately $500,000.
 
Morry F. Rubin, CEO stated that “While building upon our organic growth initiatives we continue to explore acquisition opportunities of other U.S. factoring and related finance firms which would enhance our ability to increase revenues and profits, add additional services and increase our geographic footprint and clients.”  In 2008 U.S. factoring volume (the dollar volume of invoices purchased) was approximately $136 billion.  Acquisitions of regional factoring and specialty finance firms present a significant opportunity to capitalize on the current credit contraction and turmoil in U.S. credit markets.

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

Anchor is continuing to benefit from the current credit problems experienced by banks and other financial institutions.  Banks face continued pressure to exit troubled loans and rebuild their balance sheets.   As a result, lending criteria have tightened making it increasingly difficult for small businesses to obtain working capital.  Through our sales and marketing efforts we are implementing various ways to obtain business opportunities from bank rejections.  Anchor is often able to provide working capital to small businesses when banks cannot.

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