Asset enters into agreements to borrow considerable sums of monies from lenders so that it can purchase,
as it admits charge-offs from banks and lending institutions.
It conducts its operations by taking calculated risk that, even though purchasers of charge-offs
are not Holders In Due Course and have no legal authority to enforce charge offs as
obligations of Consumers to pay the amounts demanded by Asset Acceptance, it can get around laws
by fraud and deception.
Asset, then, capsulizes on Consumers' ignorance of law and aid of many judges
in the Civil and Small Claims courts, who are, actively, supported and lobbied by debt collection industry
and local law firms specializing in extortion of sums from Consumers in courts.
Majority of Consumers default when are sued in courts or yield harassment and intimidation tactics by
debt collectors and attorneys partnered with Asset in off-court extortions via US Mail and telecommunications:
home phone and mobile phone access.
Asset purchases charge-offs for pennies on a dollar, inflates the sums, adds nonexistent penalties and its, own interests, while not being a bank or lending to Consumers institutions; thus, possessing no authority to charge interests on moneys not lent to Consumers, and passes on the evidence of unauthorized Breach of Consumers' Private Files to local attorneys-debt collectors who split the collected sums with Asset under a veil of contingency fees.
Such violating laws attorneys, proceeding in conflict of interests acting as party of interest and attorneys for a client, usually waive their attorneys' fees so that can bypass laws from such angle.
The above constitutes sheer racketeering pursuant to organized crime-enterprises operations warranting
indictment of the actors involved and refund of monies extorted from the US Citizens of various States.

Asset Acceptance Capital Corp. Announces Amendment to Credit Agreement
WARREN, Mich., March 10, 2008 –
Asset Acceptance Capital Corp. (NASDAQ: AACC), a leading purchaser and collector of charged-off consumer debt
, announced that it entered into an amendment today to its credit agreement.
As previously reported on February 22, 2008, Asset Acceptance obtained a temporary waiver of noncompliance with its total liabilities to tangible net worth covenant until March 17, 2008 to permit it time to obtain the amendment.
The amendment to its credit agreement, pursuant to which Asset Acceptance maintains a $100 million revolving credit facility and a $150 million term loan facility, resets two financial covenants and increases the rate of interest the Company pays on borrowings under the credit facility by 25 basis points (0.25 percent). The two financial covenants reset by the amendment are (1) the ratio of consolidated total liabilities to tangible net worth, and (2) the leverage ratio. The amendment also permanently waives the earlier default on the consolidated total liabilities to tangible net worth covenant.
During the fourth quarter 2007, Asset Acceptance
opportunistically took advantage of what it believed to be a favorable debt purchasing environment
.
The increased level of purchasing funded by borrowings
on the revolving credit facility, coupled with the step down in the ratio of consolidated total liabilities to tangible net worth at December 31, 2007 from 3.0:1.0 to 2.5:1.0, resulted in the Company not passing the total liabilities to tangible net worth covenant.
Mark A. Redman, Chief Financial Officer, commented “We are pleased to have worked with
our lenders
to quickly resolve the non-compliance with our loan covenant and to give us the additional flexibility to pursue our planned level of debt purchasing for 2008.”
As of March 10, 2008, outstanding borrowings on the Company’s revolving credit facility and term loan facility were $25.0 million and $149.3 million, respectively.

Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On April 30, 2008, Asset Acceptance Capital Corp. issued a press release announcing its results of operations and financial condition for and as of the three month period ended March 31, 2008, unaudited. The press release is being furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 of Form 8-K. The full text of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated in this report by reference.
The press release attached to this
Form 8-K contains a financial measure for adjusted EBITDA that is not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”).
Quote
SL: i.e. FRAUD!
We have provided a reconciliation in the press release of the non-GAAP financial measure for adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income.
We have included information concerning adjusted EBITDA because we believe that this measure is a useful indicator of our ability to generate cash collections in excess of operating expenses (other than non-cash operating expenses, such as depreciation and amortization) through the liquidation of our receivable portfolios. We use adjusted EBITDA as the basis for our management bonus program and a similar computation is used in our loan agreement covenants. This non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income as an indicator of our operating performance.
Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits .
The following exhibits are furnished herewith:

Asset Acceptance Capital Corp. Announces First Quarter 2008 Results
Reports Record Cash Collections and Operating Expenses Reduced to 50% of Cash Collections;
Revenue Declines on Higher Purchased Receivable Amortization
Warren, Mich., April 30, 2008 — Asset Acceptance Capital Corp. (NASDAQ: AACC), a leading purchaser and collector of charged-off consumer debt, today announced first quarter 2008 results, highlighted by a 4.6 percent improvement in cash collections and reduced operating expenses. Total revenues declined by 4.4 percent versus the same period last year.
Asset Acceptance reported cash collections of $100.3 million in the first quarter ended March 31, 2008 — the first time quarterly cash collections have exceeded the one hundred million dollar mark, versus cash collections of $95.9 million in the same period of 2007.
Total revenues declined to $64.4 million for the first quarter 2008, compared to total revenues of $67.3 million in the first quarter of 2007. Amortization of purchased receivables in the first quarter of 2008 was 36.4 percent of total cash collections versus 30.3 percent in the year ago period. The Company reported a first quarter 2008 net impairment charge of $0.4 million, versus a net impairment charge of $4.5 million in the prior year quarter.
Net income for the quarter was $6.8 million, or $0.22 per fully diluted share, compared to net income of $9.9 million, or $0.28 per fully diluted share, for the first quarter of 2007. Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization, including purchased receivable amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”), increased 12.9 percent in the first quarter 2008 to $52.1 million when compared to the year-ago period. Please refer to the table on page 4, which reconciles net income according to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) to Adjusted EBITDA.
Rion Needs, Senior Vice President and COO, commented: “Operating expenses were 50 percent of total cash collections in the quarter, comparing favorably to more than 53 percent in the same quarter a year ago and nearly 56 percent for all of 2007. Our efforts to focus on improving expense management and implementing higher levels of operational discipline throughout our organization were factors that contributed to the lower collection cost. However, also contributing to this decline was our conscious decision to temporarily defer some legal collection expenses as we enhanced our predictive modeling capabilities and refined our ability to forecast costs and resulting collections in the legal collection channel.”
During the first quarter of 2008, the Company invested $22.3 million to purchase charged-off consumer debt portfolios with a face value of $548.5 million, representing a blended rate of 4.07 percent of face value. This compares to the prior-year first quarter, when the Company invested $36.3 million to purchase consumer debt portfolios with a face value of $765.1 million,
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Asset Acceptance First Quarter 2008 Results

representing a blended rate of 4.74 percent of face value. All purchase data is adjusted for buybacks.
“We were opportunistic, but selective in our approach to purchasing delinquent receivable portfolios during the first quarter,” said Brad Bradley, Chairman, President and CEO of Asset Acceptance Capital Corp. “Several factors contributed to our modest investment in purchased receivables during the first quarter when compared to the year-ago period, including our belief that the pricing environment may continue to improve from current levels, our bias toward the most attractive deals available in the market, as well as reduced purchasing activity for two weeks while we sought a temporary waiver for our credit agreement covenant violation. Furthermore, given the potential impact of the current uncertain macroeconomic climate on the financial well-being of the U.S. consumer, we believe portfolio supply will continue to expand in the foreseeable future.”
Bradley continued: “Given our more moderate purchasing activities during the quarter, we used excess cash flow to reduce our outstanding debt on the revolving line of credit by $27.0 million during the first quarter. This reduction in our debt outstanding, combined with the updated financial covenants under our credit agreement, provide us with the financial flexibility to further capitalize on an improving debt purchasing environment.”

§ Net income decreased 31.2 percent to $6.8 million in the current quarter, versus net income of $9.9 million in the prior year first quarter. Net income per fully diluted share decreased to 0.22, compared with net income per fully diluted share of 0.28 in the prior year quarter.
§ Total operating expenses were $50.1 million, or 50.0 percent of cash collections. This compares with operating expenses of 53.4 percent of cash collections during the same period last year.
§ Traditional call center collections were $47.5 million, a decrease of 1.6 percent from the same period last year and 47.4 percent of total cash collections.
§ Legal collections for the quarter were $38.2 million, an increase of 6.4 percent from the same period last year and 38.1 percent of total cash collections.
§ Other collections, consisting primarily of agency forwarding, bankruptcy and probate collections, accounted for $14.6 million or the remaining 14.5 percent of cash collections.

Mark Redman, Senior Vice President-Finance and CFO of Asset Acceptance Capital Corp., concluded: “Overall, we generated strong cash flow as demonstrated by the 12.9 percent growth in Adjusted EBITDA resulting from increased cash collections and the reduction in operating expenses to 50.0 percent of total cash collections. Amortization rates on purchased receivables continue to rise as the portfolios acquired in recent years in an elevated pricing environment comprise a larger proportion of total cash collections.” Redman summarized: “Higher prices result in lower expected multiples of purchase price to be collected and therefore lower yields for revenue recognition. The reduced yields result in a lower proportion of cash collected being recognized as purchased receivable revenues.”
Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income to Adjusted EBITDA (Unaudited)
The Company provided the following table which reconciles GAAP net income, as reported, to Adjusted EBITDA. The Company indicated that the measure “Adjusted EBITDA” is the basis for its management bonus program and a similar computation is used in its credit agreement’s financial covenants. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA, which is generally cash collections less operating expenses (other than non-cash operating expenses, such as depreciation and amortization) represents the Company’s cash generation which can be used to purchase receivables, pay down debt, pay income taxes, return to shareholders and for other uses. Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income prepared on a GAAP basis. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA as computed by the Company may not be comparable to similar metrics used by others in the industry.

I would prove that I never accuse an innocent party but provide solid and accurate report when deal with debt collectors.
I called them - mutants for a reason because of the incredible depth of lies, fraud, and sub-human conduct these mutants exhibit.
They extort and lie, trying to convince the People and courts that suffer damages as pleaded or stated in theri garbage extortion letters and are entitled to recovery.
Just read the outlined in red; save it to your PC and wake uo to TRUTH and PLAIN FACTS!
Shall we proceed now?
Let's do it!

ASSET ACCEPTANCE CAPITAL CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations
Asset Acceptance Capital Corp. and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Company”) are
engaged in the purchase and collection of defaulted and charged-off accounts receivable portfolios.
These
receivables are acquired
from consumer credit originators, primarily credit card issuers, consumer finance companies, healthcare providers, retail merchants, telecommunications and other utility providers as well as from resellers and other holders of consumer debt.
The Company periodically sells receivables from these portfolios to unaffiliated companies.
Quote
SL: I enlarge:
The Company periodically sells receivables from these portfolios to unaffiliated companies.
In addition, the Company finances the sales of consumer product retailers.
The accompanying unaudited financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and, therefore,
do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, income and cash flows
in conformity with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2008 and its income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, and all adjustments were of a
normal recurring nature.
SL: I enlarge:
a
normal recurring nature.
The income of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 may not be indicative of future results.
These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Reporting Entity
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Asset Acceptance Capital Corp. consisting of
direct and indirect subsidiaries AAC Investors, Inc., RBR Holding Corp., Asset Acceptance Holdings, LLC, Asset Acceptance, LLC, Rx Acquisitions, LLC, Consumer Credit, LLC and Premium Asset Recovery Corporation.
All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Company currently has two operating segments, one for purchased receivables and one for finance contract receivables.
The
finance contract receivables operating segment is not material and therefore is not disclosed
separately from the purchased receivables segment.
P
urchased Receivables Portfolios and Revenue Recognition
Purchased receivables are receivables that have been charged-off as uncollectible by the originating organization and typically have been subject to previous collection efforts.
The Company acquires the rights to the unrecovered balances owed by individual debtors through such purchases.
SL: I enlarge:
The Company acquires the rights to the unrecovered balances owed by individual debtors through such purchases.
Quote
SL: Here comes THE PROOF OF GRAND FRUD AND EXTORTION - RICO ONITS FACE!!!
The receivable portfolios are purchased at a substantial discount (generally more than 90%) from their face values
and are initially recorded at the Company’s acquisition cost, which equals fair value at the acquisition date.

Quote
SL: In chess, the move is called MATE!
Law of damages-injury of tort action demands recovery of actual damages sustained.
Anything else is a fraud and extortion subjected to RICO an State's laws of unconscionable and deceptive practices.
Debt collectors like Asset and its mutated, deviant, sub-human lying crew of thieves-attorneys
purchase evidence of debt and inflate it by about 90% in the first round of extortion and, then, keep adding bogus penalties and interests on the 100% it fraudulent claims as damages sustained.
What terrorists? These mutants are terrorists pillaging the US Consumers and laughing at them in the process with theri debt collection dumb and lazy layers who can't get a real job so resort to collections.
Financing for the purchases is primarily provided by the Company’s cash generated from operations
and the Company’s revolving credit facility.
Quote
SL: Operations are EXTORTIONS AND DECEPTION!

The Company accounts for its investment in purchased receivables using the guidance provided by the Accounting Standards Executive Committee Statement of Position 03-3, “Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer” (“SOP 03-3”).
The provisions of SOP 03-3 were adopted by the Company effective January 2005 and apply to purchased receivables acquired after December 31, 2004. The provisions of SOP 03-3 that relate to decreases in expected cash flows amend previously followed guidance, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee Practice Bulletin 6, “Amortization of Discounts on Certain Acquired Loans”, for consistent treatment and apply prospectively to purchased receivables acquired before January 1, 2005. The

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
Company purchases pools of homogenous accounts receivable.
Pools purchased
after 2004 may be aggregated into one or more static pools within each quarter, based on common risk characteristics. Risk characteristics of purchased receivables are generally considered to be similar since
purchased receivables are usually in the late stages of the post charged-off collection cycle.
The Company therefore aggregates most pools purchased within each quarter. Pools purchased before 2005 may not be aggregated with other pool purchases. Each static pool, either aggregated or non-aggregated, retains its own identity and does not change over the remainder of its life. Each static pool is accounted for as a single unit for recognition of revenue, principal payments and impairments.
Collections on each static pool are allocated to revenue and principal reduction based on the estimated internal rate of return (“IRR”). The IRR 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. The actual life of each pool may vary, but will generally amortize between 36 and 84 months depending on the expected collection period for each static pool. Monthly cash flows greater than revenue recognized will reduce the carrying value of each static pool and monthly cash flows lower than revenue recognized 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. If the revised cash flow estimates are greater than the original estimates, the IRR is adjusted prospectively to reflect the revised estimate of cash flows over the remaining life of the static pool. If the revised cash flow estimates are less than the original estimates, the IRR remains unchanged and an impairment is recognized. If the cash flow estimates increase subsequent to recording an impairment, reversal of the previously recognized impairment is made prior to any increases to the IRR.
The cost recovery method prescribed by SOP 03-3 is used when collections on a particular portfolio cannot be reasonably predicted. When appropriate, the cost recovery method may be used for pools that previously had a yield assigned to them.
Under the cost recovery method, no revenue is recognized until the Company has fully collected the cost of the portfolio.
As of March 31, 2008, the Company had 67 unamortized pools on the cost recovery method, including all healthcare pools, with an aggregate carrying value of $21.1 million or about 6.4% of the total carrying value of all purchased receivables. The Company had 51 unamortized pools on the cost recovery method with an aggregate carrying value of $26.9 million, or about 7.8% of the total carrying value of all purchased receivables as of December 31, 2007.
The agreements to purchase receivables typically include general representations and warranties from the sellers covering account holder death, bankruptcy, fraud and settled or paid accounts prior to sale.

These representations and warranties permit the return of certain ineligible accounts from the Company back to the seller.
The general time frame to return accounts is
within 90 to 240 days from the date of the purchase
agreement.
Proceeds from returns, also referred to as buybacks, are applied against the carrying value of the static pool.
Periodically the Company will sell, on a non-recourse basis, all or a portion of a pool to third parties.
The Company does not have any significant continuing involvement with the sold pools subsequent to sale. Proceeds of these sales are compared to the carrying value of the accounts and a gain or loss is recognized on the difference between proceeds received and carrying value, in accordance with
the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities — a replacement of SFAS 125
”, as amended.
The agreements to sell receivables typically include general representations and warranties. Any accounts returned to the Company under these representations and warranties, and during the negotiated time frame, are netted against any “gains on sale of purchased receivables” or if they exceed the total reported gains for the period as a “loss on sale of purchased receivables”, which would be accrued for if material to the consolidated financial statements.

(1) The ending balance includes the first quarter of 2005 aggregate and healthcare portfolios on the cost recovery method. The carrying values of the first quarter of 2005 aggregate and all healthcare portfolios were $9.2 million and $7.2 million, respectively, of the total carrying value of purchased receivables as of March 31, 2008. The carrying values of the first quarter of 2005 aggregate and all healthcare portfolios were $12.0 million and $8.4 million, respectively, of the total carrying value of purchased receivables as of December 31, 2007.
During the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company recorded net impairments of $0.4 million and $4.5 million, respectively, related to its purchased receivables and
valuation allowance
for purchased receivables. The net impairment charge reduced revenue and the allowance reduced the carrying value of the purchased receivable portfolios. Changes in the allowance for receivable losses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 were as follows:
Three months ended March 31,
2008 2007

Deductions (1) (1,236,133 ) (362,000 )
Ending balance $ 61,239,905 $ 43,825,155
(1) Deductions represent impairments on fully amortized purchased receivable portfolios that were written-off and cannot be reversed.
Seasonality
Collections within portfolios tend to be seasonally higher in the first and second quarters of the year due to consumers’ receipt of tax refunds and other factors. Conversely, collections within portfolios tend to be lower in the third and fourth quarters of the year due to consumers’ spending in connection with summer vacations, the holiday season and other factors. However, revenue recognized is relatively level due to the application of the provisions prescribed by SOP 03-3. In addition, the Company’s operating results may be affected to a lesser extent by the timing of purchases of charged-off consumer receivables due to the initial costs associated with purchasing and loading these receivables into the Company’s systems. Consequently, income and margins may fluctuate from quarter to quarter.
Collections from Third Parties

SL: Now, these mutants admit giving attorneys percentage of extorted spoils.

The Company regularly utilizes unaffiliated third parties, primarily attorneys and other contingent collection agencies, to collect certain account balances on behalf of the Company in exchange for a percentage of balances collected by the third party.

Accrued payroll, benefits and bonuses $ 8,833,969 $ 7,271,593
Fair value of derivative instruments 6,500,210 3,126,003
Deferred rent 3,665,191 3,754,365
Accrued general and administrative expenses 2,496,414 2,003,463

Accrued interest expense 747,438 974,900
Other accrued expenses 246,992 293,054
Total accrued liabilities $ 23,925,493 $ 17,423,378
Concentration of Risk
For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company invested 52.0% and 71.6%, respectively, in purchased receivables from three sellers. The top three sellers were different in each period.
Interest Expense
Interest expense included interest on the Company’s credit facilities, unused facility fees and amortization of capitalized bank fees. Interest expense of $19,769, related to software developed for internal use, was capitalized in the first quarter of 2008.
Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share reflect net income divided by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding. Diluted weighted average shares outstanding at March 31, 2008 and 2007 included 12,671 and 7,172 dilutive shares, respectively, related to outstanding stock options, deferred stock units, restricted shares and restricted share units (referred to as "share-based awards"). There were 740,085 and 288,936 outstanding share-based awards that were not included within the diluted weighted-average shares as their exercise price exceeded the market price of the Company’s stock at March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Intangible assets with finite lives arising from business combinations are amortized over their estimated useful lives, ranging from five to seven years, using the straight-line and double-declining methods. As prescribed by
SFAS 142,
“Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”), goodwill and trademark and trade names with indefinite lives are not amortized. Goodwill and other intangible assets are reviewed annually to assess recoverability or more frequently if impairment indicators are present, in accordance with SFAS 142. Impairment charges are recorded for intangible assets when the estimated fair value is less than the carrying value of that asset. During the first quarter of 2008,
the Company decided to discontinue its medical contingent collection business,
which led to an impairment of $0.4 million for the net carrying value of customer contracts and relationships intangible assets. This impairment is recorded in “Impairment of intangible assets” in the consolidated statements of income.
Comprehensive Income
Components of comprehensive income are changes in equity other than those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Net income is the primary component of comprehensive income. The Company’s only component of comprehensive income other than net income is the change in unrealized gain or loss on derivatives qualifying as cash flow hedges, net of income taxes. The aggregate amount of such changes to equity that have not yet been recognized in net income are reported in the equity portion of the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position as accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of income taxes. The accumulated

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
SFAS No. 141 (R), “Business Combinations” and SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51”
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations,” (“SFAS 141(R)”), and SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51,” (“SFAS 160”). These pronouncements are required to be adopted concurrently and are effective for business combination transactions for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited, thus the provisions of these pronouncements will be effective for the Company in fiscal year 2009. The Company has not completed its analysis of the potential impact of SFAS 141(R) and SFAS 160 on its consolidated statements of financial position, income or cash flows.
2. Recapitalization
On April 24, 2007, the Company announced a recapitalization plan (the “Recapitalization Plan”) to return approximately $150.0 million to the Company’s shareholders. Pursuant to the Recapitalization Plan, on June 12, 2007, the Company completed a modified “Dutch auction” tender offer, resulting in the repurchase of approximately 2.0 million of the Company’s common shares for an aggregate purchase price of $37.2 million, or $18.75 per share.
On June 28, 2007, under a repurchase agreement announced on April 24, 2007, the Company purchased shares from (i) its largest shareholder, (ii) its Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, and (iii) its Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. These shareholders elected not to tender any shares in the tender offer and the repurchase agreement allowed them to maintain their pro rata beneficial ownership interest in the Company after giving effect to the tender offer and purchases under the repurchase agreement. The Company repurchased 2.0 million common shares from these shareholders for an aggregate price of $37.8 million, or $18.75 per share.
On June 18, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a special one-time cash dividend of $2.45 per share, or $74.9 million in aggregate, which was paid on July 31, 2007 to holders of record on July 19, 2007.
In order to fund these transactions, the Company obtained a $150.0 million term loan through a new credit agreement, (the “New Credit Agreement”) aggregating $250.0 million, which was funded on June 12, 2007, and terminated its former credit agreement. Refer to Note 3, “Notes Payable” for further information.
As a result of the payment of the special one-time cash dividend, the Company adjusted the number of deferred stock units outstanding under the Company’s 2004 stock incentive plan, as amended, and also changed the exercise price and number of outstanding stock options issued under the 2004 stock incentive plan, as amended, in order to avoid dilution to holders of the deferred stock units and outstanding stock options. Refer to Note 6, “Share-Based Compensation” for further information.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2007, the Company incurred approximately $1.1 million in transaction costs associated with the Dutch auction tender offer and recorded these costs as a reduction in stockholders’ equity.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
In addition, the Company incurred approximately $2.3 million in fees, which were recorded as a deferred financing cost and included in other assets in the consolidated statements of financial position.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2008, the Company recorded interest expense of approximately $3.2 million in connection with borrowings under the New Credit Agreement and amortized approximately $0.1 million in deferred financing costs. During the quarter ended March 31, 2007, the Company recorded interest expense of approximately $0.2 in connection with borrowings under the former credit agreement and amortized approximately $0.1 in deferred financing costs.
3. Notes Payable
The New Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A
., as administrative agent, and a syndicate of lenders named therein, that originated on June 5, 2007 was amended on March 10, 2008 (the “Amended New Credit Agreement”). Under the terms of the Amended New Credit Agreement, the Company has a five-year $100 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) and a six-year $150 million term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility” and, together with the Revolving Credit Facility, the “Amended New Credit Facilities”). The Amended New Credit Facilities bear interest at prime or up to 125 basis points over prime depending upon the Company’s liquidity, as defined in the Amended New Credit Agreement. Alternately, at the Company’s discretion, the Company may borrow by entering into one, two, three, six or twelve-month contracts based on the London Inter Bank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) at rates between 150 to 250 basis points over the respective LIBOR rates, depending on the Company’s liquidity. The Company’s Revolving Credit Facility includes an accordion loan feature that allows it to request a $25.0 million increase as well as sublimits for $10.0 million of letters of credit and for $10.0 million of swingline loans. The Amended New Credit Agreement is secured by a first priority lien on all of the Company’s assets. The Amended New Credit Agreement also contains certain covenants and restrictions that the Company must comply with, which, as of March 31, 2008 were:
• Leverage Ratio (as defined) cannot exceed (i) 1.25 to 1.0 at any time on or before June 29, 2009, (ii) 1.125 to 1.0 at any time on or after June 30, 2009 and on or before December 30, 2010 or (iii) 1.0 to 1.0 at any time thereafter;
• Ratio of Consolidated Total Liabilities to Consolidated Tangible Net Worth cannot exceed (i) 3.0 to 1.0 at any time on or before September 29, 2008, (ii) 2.75 to 1.0 at any time on or after September 30, 2008 and on or before December 30, 2008, (iii) 2.5 to 1.0 at any time on or after December 31, 2008 and on or before December 30, 2009, (iv) 2.25 to 1.0 at any time on or after December 31, 2009 and on or before December 30, 2010, (v) 2.0 to 1.0 at any time on or after December 31, 2010 and on or before December 30, 2011 or (vi) 1.5 to 1.0 to any time thereafter; and
• Consolidated Tangible Net Worth must equal or exceed $80.0 million plus 50% of positive consolidated net income for three consecutive fiscal quarters ending December 31, 2007 and for each fiscal year ending thereafter, such amount to be added as of December 31, 2007 and as of the end of each such fiscal year thereafter.
The Amended New Credit Agreement contains a provision that requires the Company to repay Excess Cash Flow, as defined, to reduce the indebtedness outstanding under its Amended New Credit Agreement. The repayment of the Company’s Excess Cash Flow is effective with the issuance of our annual audited consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2008. The repayment provisions are:
• 50% of the Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year if the Leverage Ratio was greater than 1.0 to 1.0 as of the end of such fiscal year;
• 25% of the Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year if the Leverage Ratio was less than or equal to 1.0 to 1.0 but greater than 0.875 to 1.0 as of the end of such fiscal year; or
• 0% if the Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 0.875 to 1.0 as of the end of such fiscal year.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
Commitment fees on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility are paid quarterly, in arrears, and are calculated as an amount equal to a margin of 0.25% to 0.50%, depending on the Company’s liquidity, on the average amount available on the Revolving Credit Facility.
The Amended New Credit Agreement requires the Company to effectively cap, collar or exchange interest rates on a notional amount of at least 25% of the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan Facility. Refer to Note 4, “Derivative Financial Instruments”.
The Company had $163.9 million and $191.3 million principal balance outstanding on its Amended New Credit Facilities at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively, of which $148.9 million and $149.3 million was part of the Term Loan Facility at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively, and $15.0 million and $42.0 million was part of the Revolving Credit Facility, respectively. The Term Loan Facility requires quarterly repayments totaling $1.5 million annually until March 2013 with the remaining balance due in June 2013.
The Company believes it is in compliance with all terms of the Amended New Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2008.
4. Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company may periodically enter into derivative financial instruments, typically interest rate swap agreements, to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates on variable-rate debt and their impact on earnings and cash flows. The Company does not utilize derivative financial instruments with a level of complexity or with a risk greater than the exposure to be managed nor does it enter into or hold derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. The Company periodically reviews the creditworthiness of the swap counterparty to assess the counterparty’s ability to honor its obligation.
Based on the provisions of SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” as amended and interpreted, the Company records derivative financial instruments at fair value. Refer to Note 9, “Fair Value” for additional information.
In September 2007, as required by the Company’s Amended New Credit Agreement, the Company entered into an amortizing interest rate swap agreement whereby, on a quarterly basis, it swaps variable rates under its Term Loan Facility for fixed rates. At inception and for the first year, the notional amount of the swap is $125 million. Every year thereafter, on the anniversary of the swap agreement the notional amount will decrease by $25 million. This swap agreement expires on September 13, 2012.
The Company’s financial derivative instrument is designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge and the effective portion of the gain or loss on such hedge is reported as a component of other comprehensive income in the consolidated financial statements. To the extent that the hedging relationship is not effective, the ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative is recorded in other income (expense). For the three months ended March 31, 2008, the ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative recorded in earnings was $799. Hedges that receive designated hedge accounting treatment are evaluated for effectiveness at the time that they are designated as well as through the hedging period. As of March 31, 2008, the Company does not have any fair value hedges.
The fair value of the Company’s cash flow hedge has been recorded as a liability and is included with accrued liabilities in the consolidated statements of financial position. The fair value was $6,500,210 and $3,126,003 at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. Changes in fair value were recorded as an adjustment to other comprehensive income, net of tax, of $4,186,135 and $2,012,127 at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. Amounts in other comprehensive income will be reclassified into earnings under certain situations; for example, if the occurrence of the transaction is no longer probable or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. The Company does not expect to reclassify any amount currently included in other comprehensive income into earnings within the next 12 months.

6. Share-Based Compensation
The Company adopted a stock incentive plan (the “Stock Incentive Plan”) during February 2004 that authorizes the use of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock grants and units, performance share awards and annual incentive awards to eligible key associates, non-associate directors and consultants. The Company has reserved 3,700,000 shares of common stock, in addition to treasury shares, for issuance in conjunction with all options and other stock-based awards to be granted under the plan. The purpose of the plan is (1) to promote the best interests of the Company and its stockholders by encouraging associates and other participants to acquire an ownership interest in the Company, thus aligning their interests with those of stockholders and (2) to enhance the ability of the Company to attract and retain qualified associates, non-associate directors and consultants. No participant may be granted options during any one fiscal year to purchase more than 500,000 shares of common stock. The Company Records share-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” a revision of SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”.
The Company amended its Stock Incentive Plan in May 2007 to expand an anti-dilution provision of the plan. The additional compensation expense resulting from the amendment to the Stock Incentive Plan for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $1,013, relating to nonvested associate stock options.
As discussed in Note 2, “Recapitalization” the Company commenced a recapitalization transaction, including declaration of a special one-time cash dividend, in the quarter ended June 30, 2007. The payment of the special one-time cash dividend resulted in an increase in the number of deferred stock units outstanding and a change to the exercise price and number of outstanding stock options under the anti-dilution provisions of the stock incentive plan. The methodology used to adjust the awards was consistent with Internal Revenue Code Section 409A and 424 and the proposed regulations promulgated thereunder, compliance with which was necessary to avoid adverse tax issues for the holders of awards. Such methodology also results in the fair value of the adjusted awards post-dividend to be equal to that of the unadjusted awards pre-dividend, with the result that there is no additional compensation expense in accordance with accounting for modifications to awards under SFAS 123(R).
Based on historical experience, the Company used an annual forfeiture rate of 15% for associate grants. Grants made to non-associate directors were assumed to have no forfeiture rates associated with them due to immediate vesting of grants to this group.
The Company’s share-based compensation arrangements are described below.

The Company utilizes the Whaley Quadratic approximation model, an intrinsic value method, to calculate the fair value of the stock awards on the date of grant using the assumptions noted in the following table. In addition, changes to the subjective input assumptions can result in different fair market value estimates. With regard to the Company’s assumptions stated below, the expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock and management’s estimate of the volatility over the contractual term of the options. The expected term of the

7. Contingencies and Commitments
Litigation Contingencies
The Company is involved in certain legal matters that management considers incidental to its business. The Company recognizes liabilities for contingencies and commitments when a loss is probable and estimable. The company recognizes expense for defense costs when incurred.
Management has evaluated pending and threatened litigation against the Company
as of March 31, 2008 and does not believe exposure to be material.
Other Contingencies
During the first quarter, the Company entered into an agreement with a third party collecting on its behalf.
Under this agreement, the Company will receive a total cash advance of $7.0 million, in varying installments, through November 2009.
The Company received the first installment of $1.5 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2008, and
incurred approximately $0.1 million in court cost expenses, which were offset against a portion of the cash advance.
A liability equal to the unused cash advance is included in accrued liabilities in the consolidated statements of financial position.
16
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
The agreement contains performance conditions for both parties and the Company may be required to refund a portion of the cash advance in certain situations.
8. Income Taxes
The Company recorded an income tax provision of $4.2 million and $5.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The provision for income tax expense reflects an effective income tax rate of 38.1% and 37.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
The Company records interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. Interest and penalties related to the Company’s uncertain tax positions at January 1, 2008 were not significant.
The federal income tax returns of the Company for 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007 are subject to examination by the IRS, generally for three years after the latter of their extended due date or when they are filed. The significant state income tax returns of the Company are subject to examination by the state taxing authorities, for various periods generally up to four years.
9. Fair Value
The Company partially adopted SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”) as of January 1, 2008. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies where other accounting pronouncements require or permit fair value measurements; it does not require any new fair value measurements. According to FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-2, the application of SFAS 157 to certain non-financial assets and liabilities is deferred to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company’s goodwill and other intangible assets are measured at fair value on a recurring basis for impairment assessment. The deferral of SFAS 157 applies to these items.
The partial adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial position, income or cash flows. The Company has chosen not to adopt SFAS No. 159, “Fair Value Option”.
The Company uses the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of financial instruments.
Interest Rate Swap Agreement
The fair value of the interest rate swap agreement represents the amount the Company would receive or pay to terminate or otherwise settle the contract at the consolidated statements of financial position date, taking into consideration current unearned gains and losses. The interest rate swap agreement was valued using Level 2 inputs, which are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly. The fair value was determined using a market approach, and is based on the three-month LIBOR curve for the remaining term of the swap agreement. Refer to Note 4, “Derivative Financial Instruments”, for additional information about the fair value of the interest rate swap.
The partial adoption of SFAS 157 does not apply to the Company’s purchased receivables or credit facilities since these financial instruments are not recorded at fair value. SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” establishes the disclosures about fair value for these financial instruments.
The Company uses the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of financial instruments.
Purchased Receivables
The Company initially records purchased receivables at cost, which is discounted from the contractual receivable balance. The ending balance of the purchased receivables is reduced as cash is received based upon the guidance of PB6 and SOP 03-3. The carrying value of receivables was $330,127,109 and $346,198,900 at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. The Company computes fair value of these receivables by discounting the future

cash flows generated by its forecasting model using an adjusted weighted average cost of capital, reflective of other market participants cost of capital. The fair value of the purchased receivables approximated carrying value at both March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007.
Credit Facilities
The Company’s Amended New Credit Facilities had carrying amounts of $163,875,000 and $191,250,000 as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. The Company computed the approximate fair value of the Amended New Credit Facilities to be $137,286,077 and $158,652,946 as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. The fair value of the Company’s Amended New Credit Facilities is based on borrowing rates currently available to the Company and similar market participants.
