TABLE OF CONTENTS
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain information set forth in this report
may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which
are intended to be covered by the “safe harbor” created by that section. Forward-looking statements, which are based on
certain assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies and expectations, can generally be identified by the use of
forward-looking terms such as “believe,” “expect,” “may,” “will,”
“should,” “could,” “would,” “seek,” “intend,” “plan,” “goal,”
“project,” “estimate,” “anticipate” “strategy,” “future,” “likely”
or other comparable terms and references to future periods. All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this
report regarding our strategies, prospects, financial condition, operations, costs, plans and objectives are forward-looking statements.
Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements we make regarding the expansion of our lease-to-own program,
expectations concerning our partnerships with retail partners, investments in, and the success of, our underwriting technology and risk
analytics platform, our ability to collect payments due from customers, expected future operating results, and expectations concerning
our business strategy.
Forward-looking statements are neither historical
facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding
the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions.
Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances
that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Our actual results and financial condition may differ materially
from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Important
factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements
include, among others, the following:
|
● |
general economic conditions, including inflation, rising interest rates, and other adverse macro-economic conditions; |
|
|
|
|
● |
the impact of deteriorating macro-economic environment, including bank defaults and closures on our customer’s ability to make the payment they owe our business and on our proprietary algorithms and decisioning tools used in approving customer to be indicative of customer’s ability to perform; |
|
|
|
|
● |
our ability to obtain adequate financing to fund our business operations in the future; |
|
|
|
|
● |
our ability to maintain compliance with financial covenants under our credit agreement; |
|
|
|
|
● |
the failure to successfully manage and grow our FlexShopper.com e-commerce platform; |
|
|
|
|
● |
our ability to compete in a highly competitive industry; |
|
|
|
|
● |
our ability to attract and onboard a new bank partner that originates the loans in the bank partner loan model; |
|
|
|
|
● |
our dependence on the success of our third-party retailers and our continued relationships with them; |
|
|
|
|
● |
our relationship with the bank partner that originate the loans in the bank partner loan model; |
|
|
|
|
● |
our compliance with various federal, state and local laws and regulations, including those related to consumer protection; |
|
|
|
|
● |
the failure to protect the integrity and security of customer and employee information; |
|
|
|
|
● |
our ability to attract and retain key executives and employees |
|
|
|
|
● |
our ability to realize the deferred tax asset; and |
|
|
|
|
● |
the other risks and uncertainties described in “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” sections of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. |
Any forward-looking statement made by us in
this report is based only on information currently available to us and speaks only as of the date on which it is made. We undertake
no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether
as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required under federal securities law. We
anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause our views to change. You should read this report completely and with
the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. Our forward-looking statements do
not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures or investments we may undertake.
We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

Notes To Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023
(Unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X and in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) applicable to interim financial information.
Accordingly, the information presented in the interim financial statements does not include all information and disclosures necessary
for a fair presentation of FlexShopper, Inc.’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with GAAP
for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal
recurring accruals, necessary for a fair statement of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for such periods. The
results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. These financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in FlexShopper, Inc.’s Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on April 1, 2024.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of
December 31, 2023 contained herein has been derived from audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information
and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
Certain prior year/period amounts have been reclassified
to conform to the current year presentation.
2. BUSINESS
FlexShopper, Inc. (the “Company”)
is a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware in 2006. The Company owns 100% of FlexShopper, LLC, a North Carolina
limited liability company, owns 100% of FlexLending, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and owns 100% of Flex Revolution, LLC,
a Delaware limited liability company. The Company is a holding corporation with no operations except for those conducted by its subsidiaries
FlexShopper, LLC, FlexLending, LLC and Flex Revolution, LLC.
In January 2015, in connection with the Credit
Agreement entered in March 2015 (see Note 8), FlexShopper 1 LLC and FlexShopper 2 LLC were organized as wholly owned Delaware subsidiaries
of FlexShopper LLC to conduct operations. FlexShopper Inc, together with its subsidiaries, are hereafter referred to as “FlexShopper.”
FlexShopper, LLC provides durable goods to consumers
on a lease-to-own basis (“LTO”). After receiving a signed consumer lease, the Company then funds the leased item by purchasing
the item from the Company’s merchant partner and leasing it to the consumer. FlexShopper, LLC also sells products to other lenders
that offer finance options in FlexShopper’s website.
FlexLending, LLC participates in a consumer finance
program offered by a third-party bank partner. The third-party originates unsecured consumer loans through strategic sales channels. Under
this program, FlexLending, LLC purchases a participation interest in each of the loans originated by the third-party.
Flex Revolution, LLC operates a direct origination
model for consumers in 11 states. In the direct origination model, applicants who apply and obtain a loan through our platform are underwritten,
approved, and funded directly by the Company.
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation - The accompanying
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries after elimination of intercompany
balances and transactions.
Estimates - The preparation of consolidated
financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Segment Information - Operating segments
are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available between which resources are allocated
by the chief operating decision maker. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the Chief Executive Officer. The Company
has one operating and reportable segment that includes all the Company’s financial services, which is consistent with the current
organizational structure.
Cash and Cash Equivalents – The Company
considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company
maintains cash and cash equivalents with high-quality financial institutions, which at times exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
insurance limits. While the Company monitors daily the cash balances in its operating accounts and adjusts the balances as appropriate,
these balances could be impacted if one or more of the financial institutions with which the Company deposits fails or is subject to other
adverse conditions in the financial or credit markets. To date, the Company has experienced no loss or lack of access to its invested
cash or cash equivalents; however, no assurance can be provided that access to invested cash and cash equivalents will not be impacted
by adverse conditions in the financial and credit markets. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had no cash equivalents.
Lease Revenue Recognition -
Merchandise is leased to customers pursuant to lease purchase agreements which provide for weekly lease terms with non-refundable
lease payments. Generally, the customer has the right to acquire title either through a 90-day same as cash option, an early
purchase option, or through completion of all required lease payments, generally 52 weeks. On any current lease, customers have the
option to cancel the agreement in accordance with lease terms and return the merchandise. Customer agreements are accounted for as
operating leases with lease revenues recognized in the month they are due on the accrual basis of accounting. Revenue for lease
payments received prior to their due date is deferred and is recognized as revenue in the period to which the payments relate.
Revenues from leases and sales are reported net of sales taxes.
Retail Revenue Recognition –
The Company sells products directly to other lenders that offer alternative solutions on FlexShopper’s website and make a profit
on the product margin. The Company accounts for the Retail Revenue under ASC 606. The Company has a single performance obligation that
is the delivery of the product, at which point control transfers. Revenue for the sale of products is recognized at the time of delivery.
Lease Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful
Accounts - FlexShopper seeks to collect amounts owed under its leases from each customer on a weekly or biweekly basis by charging
their bank accounts or credit cards. Lease receivables are principally comprised of lease payments currently owed to FlexShopper which
are past due, as FlexShopper has been unable to successfully collect in the aforementioned manner and therefore the Company has an in-house
and near-shore team to collect on the past due amounts. FlexShopper maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts, under which FlexShopper’s
policy is to record an allowance for estimated uncollectible charges, primarily based on historical collection experience that considers
both the aging of the lease and the origination channel. Other qualitative factors are considered in estimating the allowance, such as
seasonality, underwriting changes and other business trends. We believe our allowance is adequate to absorb all expected losses. The lease
receivables balances consisted of the following as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:
| |

| (19,954,828 | ) |

$ | 57,151,127 | | |
$ | 44,795,090 | |
FlexShopper does not charge off any customer account
until it has exhausted all collection efforts with respect to each account, including attempts to repossess items. Lease receivables balances
charged off against the allowance were $2,230,263 and $4,236,950 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $13,757,036
and $32,728,807 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

Lease Merchandise, net - Until all
payment obligations for ownership are satisfied under the lease agreement, the Company maintains ownership of the lease merchandise.
Lease merchandise consists primarily of residential furniture, consumer electronics, computers, appliances and household accessories
and is recorded at cost net of accumulated depreciation. The Company depreciates leased merchandise using the straight-line method
over the applicable agreement period for a consumer to acquire ownership, generally twelve months with no salvage value. Upon
transfer of ownership of merchandise to customers resulting from satisfaction of their lease obligations, the Company reflects the
undepreciated portion of the lease merchandise as depreciation expense and the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed
from lease merchandise. For lease merchandise returned either voluntarily or through repossession, the Company provides an
impairment reserve for the undepreciated balance of the merchandise net of any estimated salvage value with a corresponding charge
to depreciation and impairment of lease merchandise. The cost, accumulated depreciation and impairment reserve related to such
merchandise are written off upon determination that no salvage value is obtainable.
The net lease merchandise balances consisted of
the following as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

$ | 29,131,440 | |
Loan receivables at fair value – The
Company elected the fair value option on its entire loan and loan participation receivables portfolio. As such, loan receivables are carried
at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets with changes in fair value recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. Accrued
and unpaid interest and fees are included in loan receivables at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets. Management believes the
reporting of these receivables at fair value method closely approximates the true economics of the loan.
Interest and fees are discontinued when loan receivables
become contractually 90 or more days past due. The Company charges-off loans at the earlier of when the loans are determined to be uncollectible
or when the loans are 90 days contractually past due. Recoveries on loan receivables that were previously charged off are recognized
when cash is received. Changes in the fair value of loan receivables include the impact of current period charge offs associated with
these receivables.
The Company estimates the fair value of the loan
receivables using a discounted cash flow analysis at an individual loan level to more accurately predict future payments. The Company
adjusts expected cash flows for estimated losses and servicing costs over the estimated duration of the underlying assets. These adjustments
are determined using historical data and include appropriate consideration of recent trends and anticipated future performance. Future
cash flows are discounted using a rate of return that the Company believes a market participant would require. Model results may be adjusted
by management if the Company does not believe the output reflects the fair value of the instrument, as defined under U.S. GAAP. The models
are updated at each measurement date to capture any changes in internal factors such as nature, term, volume, payment trends,
remaining time to maturity, and portfolio mix, as well as changes in underwriting or observed trends expected to impact future performance.
Further details concerning loan receivables at
fair value are presented within “Fair Value Measurement” section in this Note.
Net changes in the fair value of loan receivables
included in the consolidated statements of operations in the line “loan revenues and fees, net of changes in fair value” was
a gain of $687,479 and $4,898,876 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and a loss of $1,821,700 and $837,048
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.
Lease Accounting - The Company
accounts for leases in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 842 Leases (Topic 842). Under Topic 842,
lessees are required to recognize leases at the commencement date as a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make
lease payments arising from a lease measured on a discounted basis, and a right-to-use asset, which is an asset that represents the
lessee’s right to use or control the use of a specified asset for the lease term. For more information on leases for which the
Company is lessee, refer to Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. Under the same Topic, lessors are also
required to classify leases. All customer agreements are considered operating leases, and the Company currently does not have any
sales-type or direct financing leases as a lessor. An operating lease with a customer results in the recognition of lease income on
a straight-line basis, while the underlying leased asset remains on the lessor’s balance sheet and continues to depreciate.

Deferred Debt Issuance Costs - Debt issuance
costs incurred in conjunction with the Credit Agreement entered into on March 6, 2015 and subsequent amendments are offset against the
outstanding balance of the loan payable and are amortized using the straight-line method over the remaining term of the related debt,
which approximates the effective interest method. Amortization, which is included in interest expense, was $190,388 and $261,168 for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $70,368 and $140,735 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.
Debt issuance costs incurred in conjunction with
the subordinated Promissory Notes to related parties are offset against the outstanding balance of the loan payable and are amortized
using the straight-line method over the remaining term of the related debt, which approximates the effective interest method. Amortization,
which is included in interest expense, was $114,698 and $229,395 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $38,233
and $38,233 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.
Debt issuance costs incurred in conjunction with
the Basepoint Credit Agreement entered into on June 7, 2023 are offset against the outstanding balance of the loan payable and are amortized
using the straight-line method over the remaining term of the related debt, which approximates the effective interest method. Amortization,
which is included in interest expense, was $9,617 and $19,234 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively was $3,206
and $3,206 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.
Intangible Assets – Intangible assets
consist of a patent on the Company’s LTO payment method at check-out for third party e-commerce sites and of assets acquired in
connection with Revolution Transaction (See Note 14). The patent is stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Patent costs are amortized
by using the straight-line method over the legal life, or if shorter, the useful life of the patent, which has been estimated to be ten
years.
In the Revolution Transaction, the Company identified
intangible assets for the franchisee contract-based agreements, the related non-compete agreements, the Liberty Loan brand, the non-contractual
customer relationships associated with the corporate locations and the list of previous customers. The franchisee contract-based agreements
relate to the assignment of agreements with Liberty Tax franchisees in which their locations and staff are used to assist in the origination
and servicing of a loan portfolio in exchange for a share of the net revenue. In addition, there is non-compete embedded in these agreements.
The Liberty Loan brand intangible asset relates to the value associated with the established brands acquired in the transaction that would
otherwise need to be licensed. The non-contractual customer relationship intangible asset is the value of the customer relationships for
the corporate stores acquired in the transaction. The customer list intangible asset relates to the value of valuable customers information
that will be used to market additional products. The franchisee contract-based agreement, the Liberty Loan brand and the non-compete intangible
assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected useful life of the assets of ten years. The non-contractual customer relationship
intangible asset is amortized on a straight-line basis over a five-year estimated useful life. The customer list is amortized
on a straight-line basis over a three-year estimated useful life.
For intangible assets with finite lives, tests
for impairment must be performed if conditions exist that indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Intangible assets amortization
expense was $442,426 and $884,760 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $443,059 and $886,118 for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.
Property and Equipment - Property and equipment
are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recognized over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets
on a straight-line basis, ranging from 2 to 7 years. Repairs and maintenance expenditures are expensed as incurred, unless such expenses
extend the useful life of the asset, in which case they are capitalized. Depreciation and amortization expense for property and equipment
was $1,561,352 and $3,097,061 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $1,207,069 and $2,370,418 for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.
Software Costs – Costs related
to developing or obtaining internal-use software incurred during the preliminary project and post-implementation stages of an internal
use software project are expensed as incurred and certain costs incurred in the project’s application development stage are capitalized
as property and equipment. The Company expenses costs related to the planning and operating stages of a website. Costs associated with
minor enhancements and maintenance for the website are included in expenses as incurred. Direct costs incurred in the website’s
development stage are capitalized as property and equipment. Capitalized software costs amounted to $1,221,579 and $2,505,268 for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $1,227,024 and $2,522,838 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023,
respectively. Capitalized software amortization expense was $1,203,688 and $2,351,166 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024,
respectively, and $961,061 and $1,870,405 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.
Data Costs - The Company buys data from
different vendors upon receipt of an application. The data costs directly used to make underwriting decisions are expensed as incurred.
Certain data costs that are probable to provide future economic benefit to the Company are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line
basis over their estimated useful lives. The probability to provide future economic benefit of the data cost assets is estimated based
upon future usage of the information in different areas and products of the Company.
Capitalized data costs amounted to $479,871 and
$944,313 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $174,346 and $343,428 for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2023, respectively. Capitalized data costs amortization expense was $378,951 and $716,392 for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2024, respectively, and $234,417 and $454,167 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.
Capitalized data costs net of its amortization
are included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets in Other assets, net.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets –
We evaluate all long-lived assets, including intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that
the carrying amount of the related assets may not be recoverable by the undiscounted net cash flow they will generate. Impairment is recognized
when the carrying amounts of such assets exceed their fair value. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 there were no
impairments.
Operating Expenses - Operating expenses
include corporate overhead expenses such as salaries, stock-based compensation, insurance, occupancy, and other administrative expenses.
Marketing Costs - Marketing costs, primarily
consisting of advertising, are charged to expense as incurred. Direct acquisition costs, primarily consisting of commissions earned based
on lease originations, are capitalized and amortized over the life of the lease.
Per Share Data - Per share data is
computed by use of the two-class method as a result of outstanding Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock, which participates in
dividends with the common stock and accordingly has participation rights in undistributed earnings as if all such earnings had been
distributed during the period (see Note 9). Under such method income available to common shareholders is computed by deducting both
dividends declared or, if not declared, accumulated on Series 2 Convertible Preferred Stock from net income. Loss attributable to
common shareholders is computed by increasing net loss by such dividends. Where the Company has a net loss, as the participating
Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock has no contractual obligation to share in the losses of the Company, there is no loss
allocation between common stock and Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock.
Basic earnings per common share is computed by
dividing net income/(loss) available to common shareholders reduced by any dividends paid or declared on common and participating Series
1 Convertible Preferred Stock by the total of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted earnings per share is based on the more
dilutive of the if-converted method (which assumes conversion of the participating Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock as of the beginning
of the period) or the two-class method (which assumes that the participating Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock is not converted) plus
the potential impact of dilutive non-participating Series 2 Convertible Preferred Stock, options, performance share units and warrants.
The dilutive effect of Series 2 Convertible Preferred Stock is computed using the if-converted method. The dilutive effect of options,
performance share units and warrants are computed using the treasury stock method, which assumes the repurchase of common shares at the
average market price during the period. Under the treasury stock method, options, performance share units and warrants will have a dilutive
effect when the average price of common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of options, performance share units or warrants.
When there is a loss from continuing operations, potential common shares are not included in the computation of diluted loss per share
since they have an anti-dilutive effect.
The following table reflects the number of common shares issuable upon
conversion or exercise.

Stock-Based Compensation – The fair
value of transactions in which the Company exchanges its equity instruments for employee and non-employee services (share-based payment
transactions) is recognized as a compensation expense in the financial statements as services are performed.
Compensation expense for stock options is determined
by reference to the fair value of an award on the date of grant and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The
Company has elected to use the Black-Scholes-Merton (BSM) pricing model to determine the fair value of all stock option awards.
Compensation expense for performance share units
is recognized on an accelerated basis over the vesting period based on the Company’s projected assessment of the level of performance
that will be achieved and earned. The fair value of performance share units is based on the fair market value of the Company’s common
stock on the date of grant (see Note 10).
Fair Value of Financial
Instruments – The carrying value of certain financial instruments such as cash, lease receivable, and accounts payable approximate
their fair value due to their short-term nature. The carrying value of loans payable under the Credit Agreement, under Basepoint Credit
Agreement and under the promissory notes to related parties approximates fair value based upon their interest rates, which approximate
current market interest rates.
The Company utilizes the fair value option on
its entire loan receivables portfolio purchased from its bank partner and for the portfolio of loans directly acquired in the state licensed
model.
Fair Value Measurements- The Company uses
a hierarchical framework that prioritizes and ranks the market observability of inputs used in its fair value measurements. Market price
observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of asset or liability and the characteristics specific to the asset
or liability being measured. Assets and liabilities with readily available, active, quoted market prices or for which fair value can be
measured from actively quoted prices generally are deemed to have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of
judgment used in measuring fair value. The Company classifies the inputs used to measure fair value into one of three levels as follows:
|
● |
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
|
|
|
|
● |
Level 2: Inputs other than Level 1, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, and model-derived prices whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable. |
|
● |
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability measured. |
Observable inputs are based on market data obtained
from independent sources, while unobservable inputs are based on the Company’s market assumptions. Unobservable inputs require significant
management judgment or estimation.
The Company’s financial instruments that
are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is as follows:

The Company primarily estimates the fair
value of its loan receivables portfolio using discounted cash flow models. The models use inputs, such as estimated losses,
servicing costs and discount rates, that are unobservable but reflect the Company’s best estimates of the assumptions a
market participant would use to calculate fair value. Certain unobservable inputs may, in isolation, have either a directionally
consistent or opposite impact on the fair value of the financial instrument for a given change in that input. An increase to the net
loss rate, servicing cost, or discount rate would decrease the fair value of the Company’s loan receivables. When multiple
inputs are used within the valuation techniques for loan receivables, a change in one input in a certain direction may be offset by
an opposite change from another input.
The Company estimates the fair value of the
promissory note related to acquisition using the discounted cash flow model. The model uses inputs including estimated cash flows
and a discount rate.
The following describes
the primary inputs to the discounted cash flow models that require significant judgement:
|
● |
Estimated losses are estimates of the principal payments that will not be repaid over the life of the loans, net of the expected principal recoveries on charged-off receivables. FlexShopper systems monitor collections and portfolio performance data that are used to continually refine the analytical models and statistical measures used in making marketing and underwriting decisions. Leveraging the data at the core of the business, the Company utilizes the models to estimate lifetime credit losses for loan receivables. Inputs to the models include expected cash flows, historical and current performance, and behavioral information. Management may also incorporate discretionary adjustments based on the Company’s expectations of future credit performance. |
|
● |
Servicing costs – Servicing costs applied to the expected cash flows of the portfolio reflect the Company estimate of the amount investors would incur to service the underlying assets for the remainder of their lives. Servicing costs are derived from the Company internal analysis of our cost structure considering the characteristics of the receivables and have been benchmarked against observable information on comparable assets in the marketplace. |
|
● |
Discount rates – the discount rates utilized in the cash flow analyses reflect the Company estimates of the rates of return that investors would require when investing in financial instruments with similar risk and return characteristics. |

Income Taxes – Deferred tax assets
and liabilities are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of net operating loss carryforwards and temporary differences
between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their respective financial reporting amounts measured at the current enacted tax rates.
The Company records a valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets when management concludes that it is not more likely than not that
such assets will be recognized.
The Company recognizes a tax benefit from an uncertain
tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on
the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position are measured
based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. As of June 30, 2024, the
Company had not recorded any unrecognized tax benefits. Interest and penalties related to liabilities for uncertain tax positions will
be charged to interest and operating expenses.
4. LEASES
Refer to Note 3 to these condensed consolidated
financial statements for further information about the Company’s revenue generating activities as a lessor. All the Company’s
customer agreements are considered operating leases, and the Company currently does not have any sales-type or direct financing leases
as a lessor.
Lease Commitments
In January 2019, FlexShopper entered into a 108-month
lease with an option for one additional five-year term for 21,622 square feet of office space in Boca Raton, FL to accommodate FlexShopper’s
business and its employees. The monthly rent for this space is approximately $31,500 with annual three percent increases throughout the
initial 108-month lease term beginning on the anniversary of the commencement date, which was September 18, 2019.
In September 2021, FlexShopper entered into
a 12-month lease for an office space for approximately 18 people at the Battery at SunTrust Park at Georgia, Atlanta mainly to
expand the sales team. This lease was renewed for another twelve-month period with a monthly rent of approximately $8,800. This
lease is accounted for under the practical expedient for leases with initial terms for 12 months or less, and as such no related
right of use asset or liability was recorded.
As part of the Revolution Transaction (See Note
14), 22 storefront lease agreements were acquired by FlexShopper. Some of those stores were closed or transferred to franchisees after
the Revolution Transaction. As of June 30, 2024, 34 storefront lease agreements belong to FlexShopper. The stores are located in Alabama,
Idaho, Michigan, Mississippi, Nevada, and Oklahoma and are used to offer finance products to customers. The monthly average rent for these
stores is approximately $1,800 per month. These leases are accounted for under the practical expedient for leases with initial terms for
12 months or less, and as such no related right of use asset or liability was recorded.
The Company determines if an arrangement is a
lease at inception. Operating lease assets and liabilities are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets within
the Right of use asset, net, Lease liability- current portion and Lease liabilities, net of current portion.

Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized
at the present value of the future lease payments at the lease commencement date. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the
discount rate for its leases, as the implicit rate in the lease is not readily determinable. The incremental borrowing rate is estimated
to approximate the interest rate on a collateralized basis with similar terms and payments, and in economic environments where the leased
asset is located. Operating lease assets also include any prepaid lease payments and lease incentives. The lease terms include periods
under options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the option. The Company generally
uses the base, non-cancelable, lease term when determining the lease assets and liabilities. Under the short-term lease exception provided
within ASC 842, the Company does not record a lease liability or right-of-use asset for any leases that have a lease term of 12 months
or less at commencement.
Below is a summary of the weighted-average discount
rate and weighted-average remaining lease term for the Company’s leases:

Operating Leases | | | 13.03 | % | | | 4 | |
Finance Leases | | | 13.39 | % | | | - | |
Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line
basis over the lease term within operating expenses in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. Finance lease
expense is recognized over the lease term within interest expense and amortization in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements
of operations. The Company’s total operating and finance lease expense all relate to lease costs amounted to $98,993 and $198,097
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $97,367 and $194,623 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023,
respectively.

of its Commitments and all Loans to Powerscourt Investments 32, LP, an affiliate of Waterfall Asset Management, LLC. The interest rate
charged on amounts borrowed was SOFR plus 11% per annum. The Commitment Termination Date was April 1, 2024.

an affiliate of Waterfall Asset Management, LLC, as administrative agent and lender (“Lender”). The Borrower is permitted
to borrow funds under the 2024 Credit Agreement based on FlexShopper’s cash on hand and the Amortized Order Value of its Eligible
Leases (as such terms are defined in the 2024 Credit Agreement) less certain deductions described in the 2024 Credit Agreement. Under
the terms of the 2024 Credit Agreement, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, the Borrower may borrow up to $150,000,000 from
the Lender until the Commitment Termination Date and must repay all borrowed amounts one year thereafter, on the date that is 12 months
following the Commitment Termination Date (unless such amounts become due or payable on an earlier date pursuant to the terms of the Credit
Agreement). The Commitment Termination Date is April 1, 2026. The Lender was granted a security interest in certain leases and loans as
collateral under this Agreement. The interest rate charged on amounts borrowed is SOFR plus 9% per annum. The Company will pay the
Lender a fee in an amount equal to 1% of the aggregate Commitments as of March 27, 2024, payable in 12 monthly installments on each
interest payment date commencing April 2024. At June 30, 2024, amounts borrowed bear interest at 14.44%.
The 2024 Credit Agreement provides that
FlexShopper may not incur additional indebtedness (other than expressly permitted indebtedness) without the permission of the
Lender, and also prohibits payments of cash dividends on common stock. Additionally, the 2024 Credit Agreement includes covenants
requiring FlexShopper to maintain a minimum amount of Equity Book Value, Liquidity and Cash, and maintain a certain ratio of
Consolidated Total Debt to Equity Book Value (each capitalized term, as defined in the 2024 Credit Agreement). Upon a Permitted
Change of Control, FlexShopper must refinance the debt under the 2024 Credit Agreement, subject to the payment of an early
termination fee. A summary of the covenant requirements, and FlexShopper’s actual results at June 30, 2024, follows:

Credit Agreement and related agreements entered into with the Lender, breaches of representations, warranties or certifications made by
or on behalf of FlexShopper in the 2024 Credit Agreement and related documents (including certain financial and expense covenants), deficiencies
in the borrowing base, certain judgments against FlexShopper and bankruptcy events.

on the outstanding balance of the amounts borrowed. No principal is expected to be repaid in the next twelve months due to the Commitment
Termination Date having been extended to April 1, 2026, or from reductions in the borrowing base. The Company must repay all borrowed
amounts one year after the Commitment Termination Date. Accordingly, all principal is shown as a non-current liability at June 30, 2024.
9. CAPITAL STRUCTURE
The Company’s capital structure consists
of preferred and common stock as described below:
Preferred Stock
The Company is authorized to issue 500,000 shares
of $0.001 par value preferred stock. Of this amount, 250,000 shares have been designated as Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock and
25,000 shares have been designated as Series 2 Convertible Preferred Stock. The Company’s Board of Directors determines the rights
and preferences of the Company’s preferred stock.
| ● | Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock –
Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock ranks senior to common stock upon liquidation. |
As of June 30, 2024, each share of
Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock was convertible into 1.32230 shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to certain
anti-dilution rights. The holders of the Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock have the option to convert the shares to common stock
at any time. Upon conversion, all accumulated and unpaid dividends, if any, will be paid as additional shares of common stock. The
holders of Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock have the same dividend rights as holders of common stock, as if the Series 1
Convertible Preferred Stock had been converted to common stock.
As of June 30, 2024, there were 170,332
shares of Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding, which were convertible into 225,231 shares of common stock.
| ● | Series 2 Convertible Preferred Stock –
The Company sold to B2 FIE V LLC (the “Investor”), an entity affiliated with Pacific Investment Management Company LLC, 20,000
shares of Series 2 Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series 2 Preferred Stock”) for gross proceeds of $20.0 million. The Company
sold an additional 1,952 shares of Series 2 Preferred Stock to a different investor for gross proceeds of $1.95 million at a subsequent
closing. |
The Series 2 Preferred Shares were
sold for $1,000 per share (the “Stated Value”) and accrue dividends on the Stated Value at an annual rate of 10% compounded
annually. Cumulative accrued dividends as of June 30, 2024 totaled $25,349,212. As of June 30, 2024, each Series 2 Preferred Share was
convertible into approximately 266 shares of common stock; however, the conversion rate is subject to further increase pursuant
to a weighted average anti-dilution provision. The holders of the Series 2 Preferred Stock have the option to convert such shares into
shares of common stock and have the right to vote with holders of common stock on an as-converted basis. If the average closing price
during any 45-day consecutive trading day period or change of control transaction values the common stock at a price equal to or greater
than $23.00 per share, then conversion shall be automatic. Upon a Liquidation Event or Deemed Liquidation Event (each as defined), holders
of Series 2 Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Company prior to and in preference to the common stock
and Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock an amount equal to the greater of (1) the Stated Value, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends
thereon, and (2) the amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of Series 2 Preferred Stock been converted to common
stock immediately before the Liquidation Event or Deemed Liquidation Event.
As the dividends for the Series 2
Preferred Shares have not been declared by the Company’s Board of Directors, there is no dividends accrual reflected in the Company’s
Consolidated Financial Statement. The Series 2 Preferred Shares dividends is reflected on the Consolidated Statement of Operations for
purposes of determining the net income attributable to common and Series 1 Convertible Preferred shareholders.
Common Stock
The Company is authorized to issue 40,000,000
shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share. Each share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote at all stockholder meetings.

with partial conversions of their promissory notes (the “Conversion Warrants”). The original expiration date of these warrants
was September 28, 2023 (and extended as described below).
From January 2019 to August 2021, the Company

In order to induce NRNS to enter into the Amendment, the expiration date of the Conversion Warrants and the expiration date date of 840,000
of the Consulting Warrants was extended 30 months from the original expiration date. The cost of the warrant modification was $917,581

10. EQUITY COMPENSATION PLANS
In April 2018, the Company adopted the FlexShopper,
Inc. 2018 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (the “2018 Plan”). The 2018 Plan replaced the Prior Plans. No new awards will
be granted under the Prior Plans; however, awards outstanding under the Prior Plans upon approval of the 2018 Plan remain subject to
and will be settled with shares under the applicable Prior Plan.
Grants under the 2018 Plan and the Prior Plans
consist of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted stock units,
dividend equivalents and other stock-based awards. Employees, directors and consultants and other service providers are eligible to participate
in the 2018 Plan and the Prior Plans. As June 30, 2024, approximately 2,150,000 shares remained available for issuance under
the 2018 plan.
Stock-based compensation expense included the
following components:
| |
Three Months ended June 30, | | |
Six Months ended June 30, | |
| |
2024 | | |
2023 | | |
2024 | | |

$ | 154,873 | | |
$ | 443,800 | | |
$ | 371,998 | | |
$ | 864,548 | |
The fair value of stock-based compensation is
recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period. Compensation expense recorded for stock-based compensation in the condensed
consolidated statements of operations was $154,873 and $371,998 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $443,800
and $864,548 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. Unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested options
and PSU at June 30, 2024 amounted to $809,543, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.84 years.
Stock options:
The fair value of stock options is
recognized as compensation expense using the straight-line method over the vesting period. The Company measured the fair value of
each stock option award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton (BSM). The Company did not grant stock options during
the six months ended June 30, 2024. The weighted average assumptions used for the stock options granted during the six months ended
June 30, 2023 were as follows:
| | Six Months ended June 30, 2023 | |
Exercise price | | $ | 0.79 | |
Expected life | | | 6 years | |
Expected volatility | | | 96 | % |
Dividend yield | | | 0 | % |
Risk-free interest rate | | | 3.54 | % |
The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s
historical dividend yield. The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The expected
life is based on the simplified expected term calculation permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, which defines the expected
life as the average of the contractual term of the options and the weighted-average vesting period for all option tranches. The risk-free
interest rate is based on the annual yield on the grant date of a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bond the maturity of which equals the option’s
expected life.
Activity in stock options for the six month periods
ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023 was as follows:
| | Number of options | | | Weighted average exercise price | | | Weighted average contractual term (years) | | | Aggregate intrinsic value | |
Outstanding at January 1, 2024 | | | 4,452,447 | | | $ | 1.57 | | | | | | | $ | 2,152,602 | |

The weighted average grant date fair value of
options granted during the six month period ended June 30, 2023 was $0.60 per share.
Performance Share Units:
On February 10, 2022,
and on April 21, 2023, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved awards of performance share units to certain senior
executives of the Company (the “2022 PSU” and the “2023 PSU”, respectively).
For performance share
units, which are settled in stock, the number of shares earned is subject to both performance and time-based vesting. For the performance
component, the number of shares earned is determined at the end of the periods based upon achievement of specified performance conditions
such as the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA. When the performance criteria are met, the award is earned and vests assuming continued
employment through the specified service period(s). Shares are issued from the Company’s 2018 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan
upon vesting. The number of 2023 PSU which could potentially be issued ranges from 0 up to a maximum of 1,250,000 of the target
awards depending on the specified terms and conditions of the target award.
The fair value of
performance share units is based on the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The compensation
expense associated with these awards is amortized on an accelerated basis over the vesting period based on the Company’s
projected assessment of the level of performance that will be achieved and earned. In the event the Company determines it is no
longer probable that the minimum performance criteria specified in the plan will be achieved, all previously recognized compensation
expense is reversed in the period such a determination is made. The 2022 PSU were forfeited in April 2023 as the minimum performance
component was not achieved. For the 2023 PSU, the Company determined it was probable that the minimum performance component would be
met and accordingly commenced amortization in the quarter ended June 30, 2023. In April 2024, 1,250,000 shares of the 2023 PSU were
earned as the performance criteria was met and 312,501 shares were vested.
Activity in performance share units for the six
months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023 was as follows:

11. INCOME TAXES
Effective income tax rates for interim periods
are based on the Company’s estimate of the applicable annual income tax rate. The Company’s effective income tax rate varies
based upon the estimate of the Company’s annual taxable earnings and the allocation of those taxable earnings across the various
states in which we operate. Changes in the annual allocation of the Company’s activity among these jurisdictions results in
changes to the effective tax rate utilized to measure the Company’s income tax provision and deferred tax assets and liabilities.
The Company’s effective income tax rate
for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was approximately 41.76%. This was different than the expected federal income tax rate of 21%
primarily due to the impact of non-deductible expenses, equity compensation and state income taxes.
The realization of the deferred tax asset as
of June 30, 2024 is more likely than not based on the Company’s projected taxable income.
12. CONTINGENCIES AND OTHER UNCERTAINTIES
Regulatory inquiries
In the first quarter of 2021, FlexShopper, along
with a number of other lease-to-own companies, received a subpoena from the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation
(the “DFPI”) requesting the production of documents and information regarding the Company’s compliance with state consumer
protection laws. The Company is cooperatively engaging with the DFPI in response to its inquiry. Although the Company believes it is
in compliance with all applicable consumer protection laws and regulations in California, this inquiry ultimately could lead to an enforcement
action and/or a consent order, and substantial costs, including legal fees, fines, penalties, and remediation expenses.
Litigation
The Company is not involved in any current or
pending material litigation. The Company could be involved in litigation incidental to the operation of the business. The Company intends
to vigorously defend all matters in which the Company is named defendants, and, for insurable losses, maintain significant levels of
insurance to protect against adverse judgments, claims or assessments that may affect the Company. Although the adequacy of existing
insurance coverage of the outcome of any legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, based on the current information available,
the Company does not believe the ultimate liability associated with known claims or litigation, if any, in which the Company is involved
will materially affect the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
Employment agreements
Certain executive management entered into employment
agreements with the Company. The contracts are for a period of three years and renew for three successive one-year terms unless receipt
of written notices by the parties. The contracts provide that such management may earn discretionary cash bonuses and equity awards,
based on financial performance metrics defined each year by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. Additionally,
under certain termination conditions, such contracts provide for severance payments and other benefits.
COVID-19 and other similar health crisis
The Company has been, and may in the future,
be impacted by COVID-19 or any similar pandemic or health crisis, and this could affect our results of operations, financial condition,
or cash flow in the future. The extent and the effects of the impact of any of these events on the operation and financial performance
of our business depend on several factors which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
13. COMMITMENTS
The Company does not have any commitments other than real property
leases (Note 4).
14. REVOLUTION TRANSACTION
On December 3, 2022, Flex Revolution, LLC, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of FlexShopper, Inc. (the “Buyer”) closed a transaction (“Revolution Transaction”) pursuant
to an Asset Purchase Agreement with Revolution Financial, Inc., a provider of consumer loans and credit products (collectively with certain
of its subsidiaries, “Revolution”), under which the Company acquired the material net assets of the Revolution business.
In consideration for the sale of the Revolution
net assets, the Company issued an adjustable promissory note (“Seller Note”) with an initial principal amount of $5,000,000.
The Seller Note matures on December 1, 2027, bears interest at 8% per annum and is subject to adjustment based upon the pre-tax net income
of the acquired business in 2023. The fair value of the Seller Note as of the acquisition date was $3,421,991.
The Revolution Transaction includes the Buyer’s
assumption of Revolution’s consumer loan portfolio, related cash and its credit facility (“Revolution Credit Facility”)
as this facility is backed by the portfolio acquired. On June 7, 2023, the Revolution Credit Facility was legally transferred to FlexShopper
(See Note 15).
The parties to the Asset Purchase Agreement have
each made customary representations and warranties in the Asset Purchase Agreement and have agreed to indemnify each other for breaches
of such representations and warranties. The Buyer’s primary recourse in the event of a claim is to offset the Seller Note equal
to the indemnifiable losses subject to such claim.
The Revolution Transaction has been accounted
for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combination. The Company measured the net assets acquired in Revolution
Transaction at fair value on the acquisition date.
The fair value of the intangible assets was determined
primarily by using discounted cash flow models. The models use inputs including estimated cash flows and a discount rate.
The Company recorded a bargain purchase gain
of $14,461,274 related to the Revolution Transaction at acquisition date as the fair value of the net assets acquired exceed the fair
value of the purchase price consideration. The Company believes that the most significant reason its management was able to negotiate
a bargain purchase was due to the speed with which the seller wanted to close this transaction which resulted in a non-competitive process
akin to a forced sale. The strong desire for a prior to year-end closing was for various reasons, including potential credit facility
covenant issues and accelerating operating losses after recent regulatory changes.
On December 31, 2023, the promissory note related
to acquisition was adjusted based upon the pre-tax loss of the acquired business in 2023 and based on this the Company recognized in
the year ended December 31, 2023 a positive net change in fair value of promissory note related to acquisition of $3,678,689.
15. BASEPOINT CREDIT AGREEMENT
On June 7, 2023, the Company, through a wholly
owned subsidiary, Flex Revolution, LLC (the “New Borrower”) entered into a Joinder Agreement to a credit agreement (the “Basepoint
Credit Agreement”) with Revolution Financial, Inc. (the “Existing Borrower”), the subsidiary guarantors party thereto,
the lenders party thereto, the individual guarantor party and BP Fundco, LLC, as administrative agent.
The Existing Borrower with certain of its subsidiaries
(collectively, the “Seller”) and Flex Revolution, LLC (the “Buyer”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement
(See Note 14), pursuant to which the Seller agreed to, among other things, transfer substantially all of its assets to the Buyer.
In the Basepoint Credit Agreement, the New Borrower
agreed to become a borrower (the “Borrower”) and a grantor as applicable under the agreement. The Company is a guarantor
of the Basepoint Credit Agreement.
The Basepoint Credit Agreement provides for an
up to a $20 million credit facility for the origination of consumer loans. The credit facility is backed by eligible principal balance
of eligible consumer receivable of the borrower’s portfolio (the “Borrowing Base”). The annual interest rate on loans
under the Basepoint Credit Agreement is 13.42%. The principal balance outstanding under the Basepoint Credit Agreement is due on June
7, 2026.
The Basepoint Credit Agreement includes covenants
requiring the Borrower and the guarantor to maintain a minimum amount of liquidity that is no less than 5% of the current Borrowing Base
and maintain a minimum amount of cash held in the concentration accounts of $200,0000. The tangible net worth of the borrower and the
guarantor shall not be less than 10% of the current Borrowing Base and the borrower and the guarantor shall maintain a positive consolidated
net income. The terms tangible net worth and positive consolidated net income for the purpose of calculating the covenants under the
Basepoint Credit Agreement are defined in the agreement. The Company is in compliance with Basepoint Credit Agreement covenants as of
June 30, 2024.
The Basepoint Credit Agreement includes customary
events of default, including, among others, failures to make payment of principal and interest, breaches or defaults under the terms
of the Basepoint Credit Agreement, breaches of representations, warranties or certifications made by or on behalf of the borrower in
the Basepoint Credit Agreement and related documents (including certain covenants), deficiencies in the Borrowing Base, certain judgments
against the borrower and bankruptcy events.
Interest expense incurred under the Basepoint
Credit Agreement amounted to $251,614 and $503,501 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. The outstanding balance
under the Basepoint Credit Agreement was $7,412,605 as of June 30, 2024. Such amount is presented in the consolidated balance sheets
net of unamortized issuance costs of $73,730 as of June 30, 2024. Interest is payable weekly on the outstanding balance of the amounts
borrowed. No principal is expected to be repaid in the next twelve months, or from reductions in the borrowing base. Accordingly, all
principal is shown as a non-current liability at June 30, 2024.
16. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN
The Company sponsors an employee retirement savings
plan that qualifies under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Participating employees may contribute, but not more
than statutory limits. The Company makes nondiscretionary 4% Safe Harbor contributions of participants’ eligible earnings who have
completed the plan’s eligibility requirements. The contributions are made to the plan on behalf of the employees. Total contributions
to the plan were $48,109 and $97,816 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $36,601 and $86,762 for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.
17. SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM
On May 17, 2023, the Board of Directors authorized
a share repurchase program to acquire up to $2 million of the Company’s common stock. The Company may purchase common stock on
the open market, through privately negotiated transactions, or by other means including through the use of trading plans intended to
qualify under Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in accordance with applicable securities laws and other
restrictions. The timing and total amount of stock repurchases will depend upon business, economic and market conditions, corporate and
regulatory requirements, prevailing stock prices, and other considerations. The share repurchase program will have a term of 18 months
and may be suspended or discontinued at any time and does not obligate the company to acquire any amount of common stock.
The Company purchased under the share repurchase
program 182,229 shares of common stock for a net cost of $200,806 for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND
ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This discussion and analysis of our financial
condition and results of operations should be read together with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes appearing
at the end of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis
or set forth elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business and related financing,
includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The “Risk Factors” section of our Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 should be read for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.
Executive Overview
FlexShopper is a financial technology company
that offers payment options to customers.
Since December 2013, we have developed a business
that focuses on improving the quality of life of our customers by providing them the opportunity to obtain ownership of high-quality
durable products, such as consumer electronics, home appliances, computers (including tablets and wearables), smartphones, tires, jewelry
and furniture (including accessories), under affordable payment lease-to-own (“LTO”) purchase agreements with no long-term
obligation. We believe that the introduction of FlexShopper’s LTO programs support broad untapped expansion opportunities within
the U.S. consumer e-commerce and retail marketplaces. We have successfully developed and are currently processing LTO transactions using
FlexShopper’s proprietary technology that automates the process of consumers receiving spending limits and entering into leases
for durable goods within seconds. FlexShopper’s primary LTO sales channels, which include business to consumer (“B2C”)
and business to business (“B2B”) channels. Our B2C customers can acquire well-known brands such as Apple, Samsung, Sony,
Frigidaire, General Electric, LG, Whirlpool, Hewlett Packard, Asus, Dell and Ashley at flexshopper.com. Concurrently, e-tailers and retailers
FlexShopper’s may increase their sales by utilizing FlexShopper’s B2B channel to connect with consumers that want to acquire
products on an LTO basis. FlexShopper’s LTO sales channels include (1) selling directly to consumers via the online FlexShopper.com
marketplace featuring thousands of durable goods, (2) utilizing our LTO payment method at check-out on our partners’ e-commerce
sites and (3) facilitating LTO transactions with retailers in their physical locations both through their in-store terminals and FlexShopper
applications accessed via the Internet.
In 2021, we began to offer an unsecured, consumer
loan product for our bank partner. In the bank partner origination model, applicants who apply and obtain a loan through our online platform
are underwritten, approved, and funded by the bank partner. The product provides flexibility for FlexShopper to offer loans in retailer
channels that provide services in addition to durable goods (e.g., tire retailers that provide car repair services) or in states which
do not have lease purchase agreement regulations. FlexShopper’s bank lending product leverages its marketing and servicing expertise
and its partner bank’s national presence to enable improved credit access to consumers. We manage many aspects of the loan life
cycle on behalf of its bank partner, including customer acquisition, underwriting and loan servicing. This relationship allows FlexShopper’s
bank partner to leverage our customer acquisition channel, underwriting and service capabilities, which they would otherwise need to
develop in-house. The bank partner uses their own capital to originate loans. The bank partner retains approval rights on all aspects
of the program and are primarily responsible for regulatory and compliance oversight. Under the bank partner model, FlexShopper is compensated
by the bank partner as a service provider for our role in delivering the technology and services to the bank partner to facilitate origination
and servicing of loans throughout each loan’s lifecycle. FlexShopper’s bank partner holds loans originated on our platform.
FlexShopper acquires participation rights in such loans ranging from 95 to 100% of the loan. FlexShopper is able to repurpose its technology
as well as marketing, underwriting and servicing experience gained from the LTO business to facilitate bank partner originations. The
Company’s bank partner for the loan partner loan model chose to exit the high APR business in 2023. The Company is actively working
on onboarding a new bank partner for this loan model.
In late 2022, FlexShopper purchased the assets
of Revolution Financial, Inc. (“Revolution”). This purchase facilitated the creation of a direct origination model for consumers
in 11 states. In the direct origination model, applicants who apply and obtain a loan through our platform are underwritten, approved,
and funded directly by FlexShopper. Also acquired in the purchase were 22 leases for Revolution operated stores, as well as program agreements
with 78 additional brick and mortar locations that share net revenue of the loans originated in those locations. In addition, we entered
into an agreement to be the exclusive provider of non-prime loans to consumers in Liberty Tax corporate and franchisee locations nationwide.
FlexShopper also purchased a portfolio of current customers and information on previous customers in order to market consumer products.
FlexShopper is able to repurpose its technology, as well as marketing, underwriting and servicing experience gained from the LTO, business
to facilitate loan originations in these locations.
During the first quarter of 2024, FlexShopper
launched a new initiative to offer alternative lenders payment options on the Flexshopper.com marketplace to broaden the reach to
a wider set of customers served by FlexShopper leases. In this initiative (retail sales),
FlexShopper sells the items and makes a profit on the product margin.
Summary of Critical Accounting Policies
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting
period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to credit provisions, intangible
assets, contingencies, litigation, fair value of loan receivables and income taxes. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical
experience as well as various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the
basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual
results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Management believes the following critical accounting
policies, among others, reflect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.
Lease Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful
Accounts - FlexShopper seeks to collect amounts owed under its leases from each customer on a weekly or biweekly basis by charging
their bank accounts or credit cards. Lease receivables are principally comprised of lease payments currently owed to FlexShopper which
are past due, as FlexShopper has been unable to successfully collect in the manner described above. An allowance for doubtful accounts
is estimated primarily based upon historical collection experience that considers both the aging of the lease and the origination channel.
Other qualitative factors are considered in estimating the allowance, such as seasonality, underwriting changes and other business trends.
The lease receivables balances consisted of the following as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

FlexShopper does not charge off any customer
account until it has exhausted all collection efforts with respect to each account, including attempts to repossess items. Lease receivables
balances charged off against the allowance were $2,230,263 and $4,236,950 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively,
and $13,757,036 and $32,728,807 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

Loan receivables
at fair value – The Company elected the fair value option on its entire loan and loan participation receivables portfolio.
As such, loan receivables are carried at fair value on the condensed consolidated balance sheets with changes in fair value recorded
on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Accrued and unpaid interest and fees are included in loan receivables at fair
value on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Management believes the reporting of these receivables at fair value more closely
approximates the true economics of the loan.
Interest and fees are
discontinued when loans receivable become contractually 90 or more days past due. The Company charges-off loans at the earlier of when
the loans are determined to be uncollectible or when the loans are 90 days contractually past due. Recoveries on loan receivables
that were previously charged off are recognized when cash is received. Changes in the fair value of loan receivables include the impact
of current period charge offs associated with these receivables.
The Company estimates the fair value of the loan
receivables using a discounted cash flow analysis at an individual loan level to more accurately predict future payments. The Company
adjusts expected cash flows for estimated losses and servicing costs over the estimated duration of the underlying assets. These adjustments
are determined using historical data and include appropriate consideration of recent trends and anticipated future performance. Future
cash flows are discounted using a rate of return that the Company believes a market participant would require. Model results may be adjusted
by management if the Company does not believe the output reflects the fair value of the instrument, as defined under U.S. GAAP. The models
are updated at each measurement date to capture any changes in internal factors such as nature, term, volume, payment trends, remaining
time to maturity, and portfolio mix, as well as changes in underwriting or observed trends expected to impact future performance.
Key Performance Metrics
We regularly review several metrics, including
the following key metrics, to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate financial
projections and make strategic decisions.

We refer to Gross Profit and Adjusted EBITDA
in the above tables as we use these measures to evaluate our operating performance and make strategic decisions about the Company. Management
believes that Gross Profit and Adjusted EBITDA provide relevant and useful information which is widely used by analysts, investors and
competitors in our industry in assessing performance.
Gross Profit represents GAAP revenue less depreciation
and impairment of lease merchandise and loans originations costs and fees. Gross Profit provides us with an understanding of the results
from the primary operations of our business. We use Gross Profit to evaluate our period-over-period operating performance. This measure
may be useful to an investor in evaluating the underlying operating performance of our business.
Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before
interest, stock-based compensation, taxes, depreciation (other than depreciation of leased merchandise), amortization and one-time or
non-recurring items. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides us with an understanding of one aspect of earnings before the impact of
investing and financing charges and income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA may be useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance
and liquidity because this measure:
|
● |
is widely used by investors to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to
items excluded from the calculation of such measure, which can vary substantially from company to company; |
|
|
|
|
● |
is a financial measurement that is used by rating agencies, lenders and other parties to evaluate
our credit worthiness; and |
|
|
|
|
● |
is used by our management for various purposes, including as a measure of performance and as a basis
for strategic planning and forecasting. |
Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure of
FlexShopper’s performance that is neither required by, nor presented in accordance with, GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered
as substitutes for GAAP metrics such as operating income/ (loss), net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance
with GAAP.

with an average origination value of $670 for the comparable period last year. Net lease revenues for the three months ended June 30,
2024 were $27,074,048 compared to $22,906,843 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, representing an increase of $4,167,205 or 18.2%.
In 2024, the volume increased due to the increase in approval rates and the average origination value per lease was higher compared to
the same period last year. The provision for doubtful accounts relative to gross lease billings and fees were 23% and 33% for the three
months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, FlexShopper collected $193,582 and $1,252,600
from leases sold or placed to/ with third parties for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Net loan revenues for our bank partner loan
model for the three months ended June 30, 2024 were a gain of $1,071,468 compared to a loss of $869,851 for the three months ended
June 30, 2023, representing an increase of $1,941,319 or 223.2 %. The increase is mainly due to an update of the Company’s
best estimate of the estimated losses assumption a market participant would use to calculate the fair value of this loan portfolio.
In the third quarter of 2023, the Company started placing the bank partner’s loans in default to a third-party collector,
which resulted in an update on the cash flow model used in the fair value calculation. Our bank partner originated 132 loans for
the three months ended June 30, 2023. The Company’s bank partner for the loan partner loan model chose to exit the high APR
business in 2023.In May 2024, the Company purchased $1.06 million in loan participation from the bank partner. With this purchase,
the bank partner has no remaining participation in this portfolio. The Company is actively working on onboarding a new bank partner
for this loan model.

model for the three months ended June 30, 2024 were $ 2,242,907 compared to $2,495,044 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, representing

for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $13,848,925 compared to $14,485,417 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, representing
a decrease of $636,492 or 4.4%. Asset level performance within the portfolio, as well as the mix of early paid off leases, will alter
the average depreciable term of the leases within the portfolio and result in increases or decreases in cost of lease revenue and merchandise
sold relative to lease revenue. The increase of wholesale vendors in the portfolio, and therefore, the reduction in the cost of the merchandise,
contributed to the decrease in depreciation.
Loans origination cost and fees for the three
months ended June 30, 2024 was $896,040 compared to $1,655,424 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, representing a decrease of $759,384

revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were $52,907,784 compared to $47,621,001 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, representing
an increase of $5,286,783 or 11.1%. In 2024, the average origination value per lease was higher compared to the same period last year,
but volume has decreased due to tightening of approval rates. The provision for doubtful accounts relative to gross lease billings and
fees were 25% and 33% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. FlexShopper collected $226,491 and $2,950,089 from
leases sold or placed to/ with third parties for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively
Net loan revenues for our bank partner loan model
for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were $ 5,766,650 compared to $2,986,455 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, representing an
increase of $ 2,780,195 or 93.1%. The increase is mainly due to an update of the Company’s best estimate of the estimated losses
assumption a market participant would use to calculate the fair value of this loan portfolio. In the third quarter of 2023, the Company
started placing the bank partner’s loans in default to a third-party collector, which resulted in an update on the cash flow model
used in the fair value calculation. Our bank partner originated 298 loans for six months ended June 30, 2023. The Company’s bank
partner for the loan partner loan model chose to exit the high APR business in 2023. In May 2024, the Company purchased $1.06 million
in loan participation from the bank partner. With this purchase, the bank partner has no remaining participation in this portfolio. The
Company is actively working on onboarding a new bank partner for this loan model.
Net loan revenues for our state license loan model
for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were $4,879,002 compared to $4,710,355 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, representing an
increase of $168,647 or 3.6%. For the state license loan model, the Company originated 65,352 loans in the six months ended June 30, 2024,
compared to 67,381 loans for the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Depreciation and impairment of lease merchandise
for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $28,534,788 compared to $29,831,205 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, representing a
decrease of $1,296,417 or 4.3%. Asset level performance within the portfolio, as well as the mix of early paid off leases, will alter
the average depreciable term of the leases within the portfolio and result in increases or decreases in cost of lease revenue and merchandise
sold relative to lease revenue. The increase of wholesale vendors in the portfolio, and therefore, the reduction in the cost of the merchandise,
contributed to the decrease in depreciation.
Loans origination cost and fees for the six months
ended June 30, 2024 was $1,717,867 compared to $3,489,051 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, representing a decrease of $1,771,184
or 50.8%. Loan origination cost and fees is correlated to the volume and dollar amount of loan products.
Marketing expenses in the six months ended June
30, 2024 were $4,311,386 compared to $2,587,767 in the six months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $1,723,619 or 66.6%. In 2023, due
to the macroeconomic conditions along with tightening approval rates, the Company had slowed down the marketing expenses. In 2024, marketing
expenses are increasing slowly to generate more originations.
Salaries and benefits expense in the six months
ended June 30, 2024 were $8,308,533 compared to $5,702,898 in the six months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $2,605,635 or 45.7%.
The addition of employees for the state license model and for the new initiatives that the Company is working on contributed to the increase
in salaries and benefits.

Amortization and depreciation expenses in the
six months ended June 30, 2024 were $4,698,216 compared to $3,710,703 in the six months ended June 30, 2023, representing an increase
of $987,513 or 26.6%. The majority of the increase is related to the amortization of capitalized software costs due to the preparation
for new products offered by the Company and the amortization of capitalized data that is not directly used in underwriting decisions
and that are probable that they will provide future economic benefit.
Computer and internet expenses in the six months
ended June 30, 2024 were $1,946,752 compared to $2,293,053 in the six months ended June 30, 2023, representing a decrease of $346,301
or 15.1%. The decrease is mainly due to the optimization of IT related expenses after Revolution Transaction (see Note 14).
Legal and professional fees expenses in the six months ended June 30,
2024 were $1,864,315 compared to $1,447,998 in the six months ended June 30, 2023, representing an increase of $416,317 or 28.8%. The
change is associated mainly with the increase in legal fees as the Company analyzed to offer different products.
Merchant bank fees expenses in the six months
ended June 30, 2024 were $1,259,074 compared to $846,687 in the six months ended June 30, 2023, representing an increase of $412,387
or 48.7%. Merchant bank fee expense represents the ACH and card processing fees related to billing consumers. This expense is related
to the size of the lease and loan portfolio.
Customer verification expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2024 were $378,756 compared to $187,212 in the six months ended June 30,
2023, representing an increase of $191,544 or 102.3%. Customer verification expense is primarily the cost of data used for underwriting
new lease and loan applicants. The increase in marketing expense contributed to the increase in this expense.
Stock compensation expense in the six months ended
June 30, 2024 was $371,998 compared to $864,548 in the six months ended June 30, 2023, representing a decrease of $492,550 or 57%. This
decrease is due to the fact that the Company did not grant new stock options in 2024.
Rent expense in the six months ended June 30,
2024 was $797,468 compared to $600,103 in the six months ended June 30, 2023, representing an increase of $197,365 or 32.9%. The increase
is related to the monthly lease expense for the storefronts the Company added for the state licensed loan model.
Advertising and recruiting fees in the six
months ended June 30, 2024 were $104,240 compared to $14,622 in the six months ended June 30, 2023, representing an increase of
$89,618 or 612.9%. This increase is related to the hire of new employees.
Travel expense in the six months ended June 30,
2024 was $439,737 compared to $238,547 in the six months ended June 30, 2023, representing an increase of $201,190 or 84.3%. This increase
is mainly related to the roll out of new stores in our retailer channel.
Operations
We promote our FlexShopper products and services
across all sales channels through strategic partnerships, direct response marketing, and affiliate and internet marketing, all of which
are designed to increase our lease transactions. Our advertisements emphasize such features as instant spending limits and affordable
weekly payments. We believe that as the FlexShopper name gains familiarity and national recognition through our advertising efforts,
we will continue to educate our customers and potential customers about the lease-to-own payment alternative as well as solidify our
reputation as a leading provider of high-quality branded merchandise and services.
For each of our sales channels, FlexShopper has
a marketing strategy that includes the following:
Online LTO Marketplace |
|
Patent LTO Payment Method |
|
In-store LTO technology platform |
Search engine optimization; pay-per click |
|
Direct to retailers/e-retailers |

|
The Company believes it has a competitive advantage
over competitors in the LTO industry by providing all three channels as a bundled package to retailers and e-retailers. Management is
anticipating a rapid development of the FlexShopper business as we are able to penetrate each of our sales channels.
In 2021, we began to market an unsecured,
consumer loan product for our bank partner. In the bank partner origination model, applicants who apply and obtain a loan through
our online platform are underwritten, approved, and funded by the bank partner. FlexShopper is able to repurpose its technology as
well as marketing, underwriting and servicing experience gained from the LTO business to facilitate bank partner originations. The
Company’s bank partner for the loan partner loan model chose to exit the high APR business in 2023. The Company is actively
working on onboarding a new bank partner for this loan model.
In late 2022, FlexShopper purchased the assets
of Revolution Financial, Inc.. This purchase facilitated the creation of a direct origination model for consumers in 11 states. In the
direct origination model, applicants who apply and obtain a loan through our platform are underwritten, approved, and funded directly
by FlexShopper.
During the first quarter of 2024, FlexShopper
launched a new initiative to offer alternative lenders payment options on the Flexshopper.com marketplace to broaden the reach to
a wider set of customers served by FlexShopper leases. In this initiative (retail sales),
FlexShopper sells the items and makes a profit on the product margin.
To support our anticipated growth, FlexShopper
will need the availability of substantial capital resources. See the section captioned “Liquidity and Capital Resources”
below.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2024, the Company had cash of
$4,892,912 compared to $6,378,984 at the same date in 2023. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had cash of $4,413,130. The increase
in cash from December 31, 2023, was primarily due to the cash generated by the portfolio and the reduction in originations.
As of June 30, 2024, the Company had lease receivables
of $90,159,481 offset by an allowance for doubtful accounts of $33,008,354, resulting in net accounts receivable of $57,151,127. Accounts
receivable is principally comprised of past due lease payments owed to the Company. An allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated based
upon historical collection and delinquency percentages.
As of June 30, 2024, the Company had loan receivables
of $40,085,656 which is measured at fair value. The Company primarily estimates the fair value of its loan receivables using discounted
cash flow models that have been internally developed.
Credit Agreement
On March 6, 2015, FlexShopper, through a wholly-owned
subsidiary (“Borrower”), entered into a credit agreement (as amended from time-to-time, the “Credit Agreement”)
with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as paying agent, various lenders from time to time party thereto and WE 2014-1, LLC, an affiliate
of Waterfall Asset Management, LLC, as administrative agent and lender (“Lender”). On September 2022, WE 2014-1, LLC assigned
100% of its Commitments and all Loans to Powerscourt Investments 32, LP, an affiliate of Waterfall Asset Management, LLC. The interest
rate charged on amounts borrowed was SOFR plus 11% per annum. The Commitment Termination Date was April 1, 2024.
On March 27, 2024, the Company refinanced all
the obligations under the Credit Agreement owed to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and all liens held by any of the Lenders,
or the Administrative Agent were discharged and released. The Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Company terminated the Credit
Agreement.
On March 27, 2024, FlexShopper, through a
wholly-owned subsidiary (“Borrower”), entered into a new credit agreement (the “2024 Credit Agreement”) with
Computershare Trust Company, National Association as paying agent, various lenders from time to time party thereto and Powerscourt
Investment 50, LP, an affiliate of Waterfall Asset Management, LLC, as administrative agent and lender (“Lender”). The
Borrower is permitted to borrow funds under the 2024 Credit Agreement based on FlexShopper’s cash on hand and the Amortized
Order Value of its Eligible Leases (as such terms are defined in the 2024 Credit Agreement) less certain deductions described in the
2024 Credit Agreement. Under the terms of the 2024 Credit Agreement, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, the Borrower
may borrow up to $150,000,000 from the Lender until the Commitment Termination Date and must repay all borrowed amounts one year
thereafter, on the date that is 12 months following the Commitment Termination Date (unless such amounts become due or payable on an
earlier date pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement). The Commitment Termination Date is April 1, 2026. The Lender was
granted a security interest in certain leases and loans as collateral under this Agreement. The interest rate charged on amounts
borrowed is SOFR plus 9% per annum. The Company will pay the Lender a fee in an amount equal to 1% of the aggregate Commitments as
of March 27, 2024, payable in 12 monthly installments on each interest payment date commencing April 2024. At June 30, 2024, amounts
borrowed bear interest at 14.44%.
The 2024 Credit Agreement provides that FlexShopper
may not incur additional indebtedness (other than expressly permitted indebtedness) without the permission of the Lender, and also prohibits
payments of cash dividends on common stock. Additionally, the 2024 Credit Agreement includes covenants requiring FlexShopper to maintain
a minimum amount of Equity Book Value, Liquidity and Cash, and maintain a certain ratio of Consolidated Total Debt to Equity Book Value
(each capitalized term, as defined in the 2024 Credit Agreement). Upon a Permitted Change of Control, FlexShopper must refinance the
debt under the 2024 Credit Agreement, subject to the payment of an early termination fee.
The 2024 Credit Agreement includes customary
events of default, including, among others, failures to make payment of principal and interest, breaches or defaults under the terms
of the 2024 Credit Agreement and related agreements entered into with the Lender, breaches of representations, warranties or certifications
made by or on behalf of FlexShopper in the 2024 Credit Agreement and related documents (including certain financial and expense covenants),
deficiencies in the borrowing base, certain judgments against FlexShopper and bankruptcy events.
The Company
borrowed under the Credit Agreement and under the 2024 Credit Agreement $11,750,000 and $22,361,690 for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $0 and $2,750,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. The Company
repaid under the Credit Agreement and under the 2024 Credit Agreement $0 and $0 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024,
respectively, and $220,000 and $2,795,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.
Interest expense incurred
under the Credit Agreement and under the 2024 Credit Agreement amounted to $8,422,665 and $4,137,318 for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2024, and $6,611,523 and $3,332,686 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. The outstanding balance under the 2024
Credit Agreement was $118,816,690 as of June 30, 2024, and the outstanding balance under the Credit Agreement was $81,155,000 as of June
30, 2023. Such amounts are presented in the condensed consolidated balance sheets net of unamortized issuance costs of $1,332,712 and
$211,516 as of June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. Interest is payable monthly on the outstanding balance of the amounts borrowed.
No principal is expected to be repaid in the next twelve months due to the Commitment Termination Date having been extended to April
1, 2026, or from reductions in the borrowing base. Accordingly, all principal is shown as a non-current liability at June 30, 2024.
Financing Activity
On January 25, 2019, FlexShopper, LLC (the “Promissory
Note Borrower”) entered into a subordinated debt financing letter agreement with 122 Partners, LLC, as lender, pursuant to which
the Promissory Note Borrower issued a subordinated promissory note to 122 Partners, LLC (the “122 Partners Note”) in the
principal amount of $1,000,000. H. Russell Heiser, Jr., FlexShopper’s Chief Executive Officer, is a member of 122 Partners, LLC.
On March 30, 2023, the Promissory Note Borrower executed a fourth amendment to the 122 Partners Note such that the maturity date of the
122 Partners Note was extended from April 1, 2023 to October 1, 2023. On September 6, 2023, the Promissory Note Borrower paid all the
principal and interest outstanding as of that date.
The Borrower previously entered into letter
agreements with NRNS Capital Holdings LLC (“NRNS”), the manager of which is the Chairman of the Company’s Board of
Directors, pursuant to which the Borrower issued subordinated promissory notes to NRNS (the “NRNS Note”) in the total
principal amount of $3,750,000. Payment of principal and accrued interest under the NRNS Note was due and payable by the Borrower on
June 30, 2021 and FlexShopper, LLC can prepay principal and interest at any time without penalty. At June 30, 2024, amounts
outstanding under the NRNS Note bear interest at a rate of 19.44 %. Obligations under the NRNS Note are subordinated to obligations
under the Credit Agreement. The NRNS Note is subject to customary representations and warranties and events of default. If an event
of default occurs and is continuing, the Borrower may be required to repay all amounts outstanding under the NRNS Note. Obligations
under the NRNS Note is secured by substantially all of the Borrower’s assets, subject to rights of the lenders under the
Credit Agreement. On March 22, 2021, FlexShopper, LLC executed an amendment to the NRNS Note such that the maturity date was
extended to April 1, 2022. On February 2, 2022, FlexShopper LLC executed another amendment to the NRNS Note. This last amendment
extended the maturity date from April 1, 2022 to July 1, 2024 and increased the credit commitment from $3,750,000 to
$11,000,000.
On June 29, 2023, the Company, the Borrower,
NRNS, Mr. Heiser and PITA Holdings, LLC (“PITA”) entered into an Amendment to Subordinated Debt and Warrants to Purchase
Common Stock (the “Amendment”), pursuant to which, among other things, the parties agreed to extend the maturity date of
the NRNS Note from July 1, 2024 to July 1, 2025. In order to induce NRNS to enter into the Amendment, the Company extended the expiration
date of certain warrants (See Note 9). The cost of the warrant modification was $917,581 and was recorded as a deferred debt cost of
NRNS note. No other changes were made to such NRNS Note.
Principal and accrued and unpaid interest outstanding
on the NRNS Note was $10,674,096 as of June 30, 2024.

Net cash provided by operating activities was
$5,471,062 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and was primarily due to the purchases of leased merchandise and the change in lease
receivable offset by the add back of provision for doubtful accounts and the add back of depreciation and impairment on leased merchandise.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, net cash used in investing
activities was $4,151,620 comprised of the use of $3,207,307 for the purchase of property and equipment, including capitalized software
costs, and $944,313 of data costs.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was
$20,529,695 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to the funds drawn on the 2024 Credit Agreement of $22,361,690.

credit agreement of $1,500,000 offset by repayments of amounts borrowed under the Credit Agreement of $2,750,000 and repayments of the
purchase consideration payable related to the Revolution Transaction.
Capital Resources and Financial Condition
To date, funds derived from the sale of the Company’s
common stock, warrants, Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock and Series 2 Convertible Preferred Stock, proceeds from promissory notes
to related parties and the Company’s ability to borrow funds against the lease and loan portfolio have provided the liquidity and
capital resources necessary to fund its operations.
Management believes that liquidity needs for
future growth through at least the next 12 months can be met by cash flow from operations generated by the existing portfolio and/or
additional borrowings against the Credit Agreement (see Note 8).
Financial Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic
As of August 6, 2024, the Company is not experiencing
any material impact from the COVID-19 Pandemic. However, our business has been, and may in the future be, impacted by COVID-19 or any
similar pandemic or health crisis, and this could affect our results of operations, financial condition, or cash flow in the future.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE
AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Not applicable.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
The Company maintains disclosure controls and
procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is
accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as
appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based closely on the definition of “disclosure controls and
procedures” in Rule 13a-15(e). In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any
controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control
objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls
and procedures. The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management,
including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design
and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures.
In connection with our December 31, 2023 financial
statements, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. This material weakness was due to a lack
of effective controls over the review of certain accounts calculations related to the tax provision as developed by a third-party service
provider. The tax provision is a complex calculation for the Company mainly because there are several different state tax regulations
to take into consideration, the business combination occurred in 2022, and the recent changes to the tax interest limitation.
The Company has taken efforts and actions during
the first and second quarter of 2024 to remediate the material weakness identified as of December 31, 2023. These actions included the
change of the tax third party service provider to a well-known tax and audit firm and the Company expects to complete the remediation
efforts in the third quarter of 2024 as sufficient time will have passed to determine the controls added have appropriately remediated
the material weakness.
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance
level at June 30, 2024.
Other than the efforts and actions taken to remediate
the material weakness identified as of December 31, 2023, there were no other changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial
reporting during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect
the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
We are not currently a party to any pending legal
proceedings that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. We may,
however, be subject to various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business from time to time.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
In addition to the other information set forth
in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed under Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. These factors could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition,
liquidity, results of operations and capital position, and could cause our actual results to differ materially from our historical results
or the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained in this report.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
AND USE OF PROCEEDS.
On May 17, 2023, the Board of Directors authorized
a share repurchase program to acquire up to $2 million of the Company’s common stock. The Company may purchase common stock on
the open market, through privately negotiated transactions, or by other means including through the use of trading plans intended to
qualify under Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in accordance with applicable securities laws and other
restrictions. The timing and total amount of stock repurchases will depend upon business, economic and market conditions, corporate and
regulatory requirements, prevailing stock prices, and other considerations. The share repurchase program will have a term of 18 months
and may be suspended or discontinued at any time and does not obligate the company to acquire any amount of common stock. The objective
of this program is to repurchase shares of common stock opportunistically when management believes that the Company’s stock is
trading below the Company’s determination of long-term fair value. The shares of common stock when repurchased by the Company will
become treasury shares.
The following table presents information with

and I have disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the registrant’s auditors

b) Any fraud, whether or
not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the registrant’s internal control over
financial reporting.
