BOCA RATON, Fla., Dec. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Anchor Funding Services, Inc.'s (OTC Bulletin Board: AFNG.OB) Co-Chairmen, Morry F. Rubin and George Rubin and a private investor have agreed to purchase from the Company 500,000 common shares at $1.00 per share and, in addition, will receive as a group, 2,000,000 warrants exercisable at $1.00 per share. The common stock investment represents a 65% premium price above the December 7, 2009 closing bid price of Anchor Common Stock. The Company plans to utilize the additional funds for working capital and to complete the recently announced acquisition of Brookridge Funding, LLC ("Brookridge").

Morry F. Rubin, Chairman and CEO, stated, "We are excited about Anchor's growth opportunities and our investment in the Company at approximately a 65% premium to its December 7, 2009 closing bid price highlights our belief in Anchor's prospects and growth potential. The current credit crisis facing small U.S. businesses seeking new business credit facilities or seeking to expand existing credit facilities poses serious challenges. Anchor continues to position itself to capitalize upon providing credit to small U.S. businesses through its direct marketing and sales efforts and from seeking acquisitions of factoring and specialty finance firms serving the small to mid size business sector."

About Brookridge

Since 1995, Brookridge has provided over $430 million of purchase order and accounts receivable financing to small and mid-sized U.S. businesses. The purchase order financing industry, a specialty niche funding sector, is not dominated by any single firm and serves to fill a critical need for companies requiring working capital to source goods from suppliers in order to fill customer purchase orders from credit worthy companies, Fortune 1000 corporations or government related entities. Purchase order financing for U.S. based firms supports payments for the flow of goods within the supply chain to suppliers for production of goods which ultimately reach the end consumer.

Through our 80% owned subsidiary, Brookridge Funding Services, LLC, we provide purchase order financing solutions to firms requiring non-traditional financing for U.S. based clients conducting business with creditworthy firms domestically.
