Lease Commitments

FlexShopper had a lease for retail store space in West Palm Beach, Florida. The term of the lease was to December 30, 2021. In March 2021, FlexShopper and the lessor agreed on the early termination of the lease for this property. The monthly rent for this space was approximately $2,300 per month.

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 “January 2019 Lease”). 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.

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. The monthly rent for this space is approximately $6,900 per month. This lease is accounted for under the practical expedient for leases with initial terms of 12 months or less, and as such no related right of use asset or liability was recorded.

The rental expense for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was approximately $679,000 and $688,000 respectively. At December 31, 2021, the future minimum annual lease payments are approximately as follows:

2022	$	472,000
2023		427,000
2024		435,000
2025		443,000
2026		456,000
Thereafter		774,000
	$	3,007,000

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating lease assets and liabilities are included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets beginning January 1, 2019.

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:

	Weighted Average Discount Rate			Weighted Average Remaining Lease Term (in years)
Operating Leases		13.03	%		7
Finance Leases		13.32	%		2

Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term within operating expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Finance lease expense is recognized over the lease term within interest expense and amortization in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The Company’s total operating and finance lease expense all relate to lease costs and amounted to $401,463 and $433,654 for the year ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
