NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

Our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2007, the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, and the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006 have not been audited. These statements have been prepared on a basis that is consistent with the accounting principles applied in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. In our opinion, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of Turnaround Partners, Inc. and subsidiaries (formerly Emerge Capital Corp and subsidiaries (“Emerge”)). The results for the three and nine months are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year.

As used herein, the “Company”, “management”, “we”, “our” refers to Turnaround Partners, Inc. or Turnaround Partners, Inc. together with its subsidiaries. The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31st.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted in accordance with the published rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial statements. The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto in this report should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 (the “10-KSB”).

Overview

On August 31, 2005, NuWave Technologies, Inc. ( "NuWave" or "the Company") entered into a merger agreement (the "Agreement") with Corporate Strategies, Inc. ("Corporate Strategies") and the shareholders of Corporate Strategies ("Shareholders"). The Company was subsequently renamed Turnaround Partners, Inc. The transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition since control of the merged group passed to the shareholders of the acquired company (Corporate Strategies).

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company issued one (1) share of its common stock ("Common Stock"), par value $0.001 per share, to each holder of Corporate Strategies Class A common stock in exchange for two (2) shares of Corporate Strategies Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share. Second, the Company issued one (1) share of the Company's Series C preferred stock ("Series C Preferred"), par value $0.01 per share, to each holder of Corporate Strategies Series A preferred stock for one (1) share of Corporate Strategies Series A preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share.

The Company issued and delivered shares of its Series B convertible Preferred stock ("Series B Preferred") to each holder of Corporate Strategies Class B common stock so that effectively upon conversion of the Series B Preferred into common shares, the common shares issued upon conversion shall be equal to ninety-five percent (95%) of the issued and outstanding stock of the Company (calculated on a fully diluted basis as of the date of the Merger, following the issuance of all the Merger Consideration (as such term is defined in the Agreement) and after giving effect to such conversion, but not including any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any then outstanding Company convertible debentures ). Therefore, the Merger Consideration for the Common Stock, Series C Preferred and Series B Preferred was the Corporate Strategies Class A common, Series A preferred and Class B common, respectively. The number of shares issued to the Shareholders in connection with the Merger was based upon a determination by the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board").

- 8 -

The terms of the Series B Preferred were subsequently modified. In connection with the Kipling purchase, 93,334 shares of Series B Preferred were exchanged for a like number of Series D Preferred, which were subsequently reduced to 700 shares of Series D Preferred. The remaining 6,666 shares of Series B Preferred are convertible into 4,195,445 shares of common stock. Each share of the Series D may be convertible, at the option of the holder, at any time and from time to time after December 31, 2006 through December 31, 2010, into that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the greater of (a) one tenth of one percent (0.1%) of the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the last day of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding such date of conversion, calculated on a fully diluted basis after giving effect to the conversion of such share(s) of Series D and (b) One Hundred Thousand (100,000) shares of Common Stock. Each share of Series D Preferred Stock held by the Holders which has not been converted on or before December 31, 2010 into shares of Common Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the Holder of such share, at any time and from time to time after December 31, 2010 into one tenth of one percent (0.1%) of the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on December 31, 2010, calculated on a fully diluted basis after giving effect to the conversion of such share(s) of Series D Preferred Stock. The shares of Common Stock received upon conversion shall be fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock.

The Series B and D Convertible Preferred Stockholders and the holders of the common stock vote together and the Preferred Stock shall be counted on an "as converted" basis, thereby giving the Preferred Shareholders control of the Company.

In November 2006, we migrated from a Delaware corporation to a Nevada corporation and changed the name of the Company to Turnaround Partners, Inc.

We primarily provide business restructuring, turnaround execution and business development advisory services for emerging and re-emerging public and private companies. The Company also actively trades securities and options with available cash. Many of these transactions contain a considerable amount of risk. Under our consulting agreements, we do not take positions in securities of our clients that at any one time would cause us to have an ownership interest in them of over 4.99%. We also have a limited partnership interest in a hotel in West Palm Beach, Florida.

Lehigh Acquisition Corp. ("Lehigh") was a subsidiary of NuWave and is treated as if it was acquired August 31, 2005, the date of the merger. Lehigh was sold on February 3, 2006. The interim financial statements include the operations of Lehigh through February 3, 2006 as discontinued operations.

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

On May 31, 2006, we filed an S-8 with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the Emerge Capital Corp. 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The document was submitted to register 10,000,000 shares of common stock. The purpose of the Plan is to promote the long-term growth and profitability of the Company by (a) providing key people with incentives to improve shareholder value and to contribute to the growth and financial success of the Company, and (b) enabling the Company to attract, retain and reward the best-available persons. This document is herein incorporated by reference.

On September 30, 2006, we completed a stock purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) with Kipling Holdings, Inc. (“Kipling”) and Timothy J. Connolly, to acquire 100% of the total issued and outstanding capital stock of Kipling Holdings, Inc. (“Kipling”), a Delaware corporation.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for prior years contain certain reclassifications to conform with current year presentation.

Change in Accounting Principle for Registration Payment Arrangements.

In December 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position on No. EITF 00-19-2, Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements (“FSP EITF 00-19-2”). FSP EITF 00-19-2 provides that the contingent obligation to make future payments or otherwise transfer consideration under a registration payment arrangement should be separately recognized and measured in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“FAS”) No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, which provides that loss contingencies should be recognized as liabilities if they are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Subsequent to the adoption of FSP EITF 00-19-2, any changes in the carrying amount of the contingent liability will result in a gain or loss that will be recognized in the consolidated statement of operations in the period the changes occur. The guidance in FSP EITF 00-19-2 is effective immediately for registration payment arrangements and the financial instruments subject to those arrangements that are entered into or modified subsequent to the date of issuance of FSP EITF 00-19-2. For registration payment arrangements and financial instruments subject to those arrangement that were entered into prior to the issuance of FSP EITF 00-19-2, this guidance is effective for our consolidated financial statements issued for the year beginning January 1, 2007, and interim periods within that year.

On January 1, 2007, we adopted the provisions of FSP EITF 00-19-2 to account for our registration payment arrangements. As of January 1, 2007 and March 31, 2007, management determined that is was not probable that we would have any payment obligation under our registration payment arrangements; therefore, no accrual for contingent obligation is required under the provisions of FSP EITF 00-19-2. According to the provisions of FSP EITF 00-19-2, the effect of this new method of accounting for registration payment arrangements is accounted for prospectively.

Note 2 - Income (Loss) Per Common Share

In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 (“SFAS 128”), "Earnings per Share", basic earnings per share are computed based on the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding during the periods. Diluted earnings per share are computed based on the weighted average shares of common stock plus the assumed issuance of common stock for all potentially dilutive securities.

- 10 -

The computations for basic and diluted net income (loss) per share consist of the following:

Note 3 - Convertible Debentures - Derivative Financial Instruments

The due date for the original issuance of certain of these debentures has been reached and mandatory conversion to equity is called for under the terms of these debentures. The company has not exercised this right as of the date of this filing.

The Convertible Debentures issued from 2003 through 2005 have been accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, and the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Abstract No. 00-19 (“EITF 00-19”), "Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company's Own Stock".

The Company identified the following instruments with embedded derivatives requiring evaluation and accounting under the relevant guidance applicable to financial derivatives:

Cornell Debenture issued 5/6/04 in the face amount of $400,000

Cornell Debenture issued 6/24/04 in the face amount of $500,000

Cornell Debenture issued 9/28/04 in the face amount of $400,000

Cornell Debenture issued 4/6/05 in the face amount of $400,000

Holland et. al. Debentures issued 12/8/03 in the face amount of $135,000

Holland et. al. Debentures issued 12/22/03 in the face amount of $250,000

Saporito Debenture issued 1/29/04 in the face amount of $100,000

Viola Debenture issued 10/12/04 in the face amount of $100,000

Highgate House Funds Debenture issued 12/02/05 in the face amount of $6,225,000

These embedded derivatives have been bifurcated from their respective host debt contracts and accounted for as derivative liabilities in accordance with EITF 00-19 and SFAS No. 133.

The embedded derivatives are marked-to-market each reporting period with changes in fair value recorded to the Company's income statement as "Net change in derivative liability". The Company has utilized a third party to fair value the embedded derivatives using a layered discounted probability-weighted cash flow approach. This valuation was prepared by the third party valuation firm that developed the original model that the Company used to value its derivatives.

The fair value of the derivative liabilities are subject to the changes in the trading value of the Company's common stock, as well as other factors. As a result, our financial statements may fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter based on factors, such as the price of our stock at the balance sheet date and the amount of shares converted by debenture holders. Consequently, our financial position and results of operations may vary from quarter-to-quarter based on conditions other than our operating revenues and expenses.

On February 3, 2006, as part of the sale of Lehigh, the Cornell Debentures for $250,000 issued May 5, 2005 and $150,000 issued July 20, 2005 were cancelled. The resulting gain on extinguishment of $94,365 has been included in other income for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

We recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt in the amount of $450,650 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

The significant assumptions utilized in valuing the embedded derivatives for the notes as of September 30, 2007 include:

The stock price would increase at the cost of equity with a short-term volatility of 200%

Registration default would occur only 5% of the time

Other forms of default would occur 2.5% of the time, increasing .3% per quarter

Alternative financing would be available starting at 0%, increasing 5% per quarter to a maximum of 50%

Common Shares outstanding would increase 5% per quarter

Exercise pricing reset events would occur 5% of the time generating a weighted average conversion price of $0.4751 for the Highgate Note only

On October 22, 2007 the Company elected to extend the holder’s right to convert the debentures into common stock until December 31, 2007. On this date, the debentures shall be automatically converted into common stock in accordance with the terms of the debentures.

Note 4 - Segment Reporting

Note 5 – Investment in Unconsolidated Entities

Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Kipling Holdings, Inc, we own a 35% limited partnership interest in a partnership that owns a Hilton hotel in West Palm Beach, Florida. Because we do not control the partnership entity, we carry our investment in unconsolidated entities at cost, plus our equity in net earnings or losses, less distributions received since the date of acquisition and any adjustment for impairment. Our equity in net earnings or losses is adjusted for the straight-line depreciation, over the lower of 25 years or the remaining life of the venture, of the difference between our cost and our proportionate share of the underlying net assets at the date of acquisition. We periodically review our investment in unconsolidated entities for other than temporary declines in fair value. Any decline that is not expected to be recovered in the next 12 months is considered other than temporary and an impairment is recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the investment. Estimated fair values are based on our projections of cash flows. Since we are a limited partner, we do not make management decisions in this partnership and are subject to the decisions made by the general partner of this unconsolidated entity. This could include a sale of the property at a time and price that may not be in our best interest. While we expect the General Partner will act in good faith at all times, we could incur a loss on this investment if a sale or foreclosure of the real estate occurs at a price that does not fully recover our equity investment.

Note 6 - Sale of Lehigh Acquisition Corp.

In February 2006, the Company sold its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lehigh, to Cornell Capital Partners, LP ("Cornell") for total proceeds of $5,948,407 including the assumption of $4,881,274 promissory notes, $400,000 of convertible debentures, $573,737 of accrued expense and interest and cash of $93,396. The transaction resulted in a gain of $3,042,406.

Note 7. - Income Taxes

The gain from sale of the subsidiary discussed in Note 6 is a non-taxable transaction under the Internal Revenue Code.

Note 8 - Repurchase of Preferred Stock

On February 21, 2006, the Company agreed to repurchase 272,278 shares of the Company's Series C preferred stock for a promissory note of $240,000. The note bears interest at 8% and is payable in monthly installments of approximately $4,800 until paid in full.

On March 31, 2006, the Company redeemed ten shares of Series C preferred stock for $15,000. For the first nine month of 2007, the Company redeemed 24 shares of Series C preferred stock for $36,000.

Note 9 – Series C Preferred Stock

We have 225 shares of Series C preferred stock outstanding. The stock has a liquidation preference of $337,500 and is redeemable at $1,500 per share at the Company’s option. Dividends are cumulative and accrue at the rate of $120 per share per year. Although the Series C stock is redeemable at the option of the Company, the holder of these shares is our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). Since these shares are held by our CEO, who effectively has control of the redemption, we have classified our Series C preferred stock, and associated paid in capital, as a current liability in accordance with EITF Topic No. D-98 “Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities”.

Note 10 – Common Stock

During the first nine months of this year, we have issued 43,149,176 new shares of common stock. Conversions of our secured convertible debentures accounted for 41,956,869 shares while the remaining 1,192,307 were issued to two separate companies for consulting services.

Note 11 – Related Party Transactions

We realized $889,804 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 for consulting services provided to an affiliated company for the acquisition of a Canadian subsidiary. This amount represents a one time fee only.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006

Revenue

We had negative revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2007 of $121,546 as opposed to revenue of $258,978 for the same period ending September 30, 2006. The primary reason for the negative revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was attributable to losses incurred on marketable securities and a decrease in consulting revenue as discussed below.

We earned $52,501 in consulting revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2007 versus $223,194 for the three months ended September 30, 2006. Consulting revenues are generally one-time fees related to specific events, or contracts for services rendered over a period of time.

Trading in marketable securities generated a loss $176,197 for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 compared to a loss of $29,716 for the same period in 2006. Marketable securities losses included unrealized gains (losses) of ($119,672) and $28,943, respectively for the quarters ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 and realized losses of ($56,525) and ($58,659), respectively for the quarters ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.

Our fee income for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was $2,150 and $65,500 for the quarter ended September 30, 2006. Fee income is generated through the realization of placement fees from clients for financing transactions that occurred during the comparable quarters.

Salaries and benefits decreased by approximately $65,000 to $192,509 in 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006, primarily representing the reduction in staff in 2007 versus 2006.

Interest expense increased by approximately $127,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the same period ended September 30, 2006. The increase is a primarily a result of the $6,225,000 Kipling convertible debenture from the 2006 acquisition.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Operating activities

We recorded a net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 of $797,673 versus net income of $2,487,013 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Net cash used in operating activities was $1,218,672 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

At September 30, 2007, the Company had a working capital deficit of $2,294,601. Our working capital deficit includes liabilities for the fair value of derivatives of $417,627, which will only be realized on the conversion of the derivatives, or settlement of the debentures. The Company at its option can force conversion of certain of convertible debentures into the Company's common stock at maturity date.

Investing activities

We received proceeds from a preferential return from our investment in the partnership that owns a hotel in West Palm Beach, Florida in the amount of $446,250.

Under our consulting agreements, we normally do not take positions in securities of our clients that at any one time would cause us to have an ownership interest in them of over 4.99%. Because of this restriction, we could be hindered in our ability to generate necessary cash for our operations.

Financing activities

For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we repaid approximately $98,000 on notes payable.

We have 225 shares of Series C preferred stock outstanding. The stock has a liquidation preference of $337,500 and is redeemable at $1,500 per share at the Company’s option. Dividends are cumulative and accrue at the rate of $120 per share per year. Although the Series C stock is redeemable at the option of the Company, the holder of these shares is our Chairman of the Board of Directors. Since these shares are held by our Chairman, who effectively has control of the redemption, we have classified our Series C preferred stock, and associated paid in capital, as a current liability in accordance with with EITF Topic No. D-98 “Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities”.

Our cash flows for the periods are summarized below:

	Nine months ended			Nine months ended
	September 30, 2007			September 30, 2006

Net cash provided (used) in operating activities	$	(1,218,672	)	$	388,616
Net cash provided by investing activities		443,159			262,958
Net cash used in financing activities		(97,847	)		(58,478	)

- 19 -

Our cash has decreased by $873,360 since December 31, 2006.

Management believes the Company may not have adequate working capital and cash to be provided from operating activities to fund future levels of operations. If our business grows we believe that we will have to raise additional capital in the private debt and/or public equity markets to fund our investments.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Company leases its office space under an operating lease. Rental expense under operating leases for continuing operations aggregated $65,079 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(A) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized, accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company's management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's system of disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Act, Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on the material weaknesses described herein the Company's CEO and CFO have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, as of the date of that evaluation, for the purposes of recording, processing, summarizing and timely reporting of material information required to be disclosed in reports filed by the Company under the Exchange Act. Because of our size, the Company shares its accounting staff with an affiliated company and is comprised of its part-time Chief Financial Officer, controller and data entry clerk. The controller and data entry clerk are considered contract employees whom also work for an affiliated company as contract employees. Our CFO is also an employee of an affiliate. Because of the structure of our staff, we have a failure to maintain effective controls over the selection, application and monitoring of our accounting policies to assure that certain complex equity transactions are accounted for in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

- 20 -

(B) Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

In connection with the evaluation of the Company's internal controls during the Company's last fiscal quarter covered by this report, the Company's CEO and CFO have determined that there were no changes to the Company's internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially effect, the Company's internal controls over financial reporting.

Material Weaknesses Identified

In connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, our independent registered public accounting firm informed us that we have significant deficiencies constituting material weaknesses. As defined by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing Standard No. 2, a material weakness is a significant control deficiency or a combination of significant control deficiencies that result in there being more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement in the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. The material weaknesses identified by the auditor during the December 31, 2005 and 2006 audit were the lack of segregation of duties necessary to maintain proper checks and balances between functions and the lack of procedures to properly account for non-routine transactions and preparation of certain financial statement disclosures in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The absence of qualified full time accounting personnel was a contributing factor to the problems identified by the auditor. The specific circumstances giving rise to the weaknesses include utilizing the services of contract accountants on a part time basis in the absence of internal accounting personnel.

Further, based on the material weaknesses described herein, we concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at September 30, 2007, the end of this reporting period.

Remediation Plan regarding the Material Weaknesses

The Company has taken the following steps to address the specific problems identified by the auditors:

We have hired a part-time Chief Financial Officer and a contract part-time bookkeeper to allow us to properly implement segregation of duties necessary to maintain checks and balances between accounting and executive functions.

All non-routine transactions will be reviewed by our part-time Chief Financial Officer and contract controller before they are completed.

We will emphasize enhancement of the segregation of duties based on the limited resources that we have, and, where practical, we will continue to assess the cost versus benefit of adding additional resources that would mitigate the situation. Our part-time Chief Financial Officer will monitor our accounting policies to ensure proper accounting for financial derivatives and other unusual transactions on an ongoing basis.

The Company continues its efforts to remediate control weaknesses and further improve and strengthen its internal control over financial reporting under the direction of the CEO and the CFO.
