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 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; the business and financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic;
| ● | our ability to satisfy The Nasdaq Capital Market continued listing standards and other Nasdaq rules; 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, 2022.

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.

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 include 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 March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had no cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash – The Company classifies all cash whose use is limited by contractual provisions as restricted cash. Restricted cash as of March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022 consists primarily of cash required by our third-party banking partner to cover obligations related to loan participation.

The reconciliation of cash and restricted cash is as follows:

|  | March 31, 2023 |  |  | December 31, 2022 |
Cash |  | $ | 9,861,646 |  |  | $ | 6,051,713 |
Restricted cash |  |  | 7,881 |  |  |  | 121,636 |
Total cash and restricted cash |  | $ | 9,869,527 |  |  | $ | 6,173,349 |

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.

6

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 March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

|  | March 31, 2023 |  |  | December 31, 2022 |
Lease receivables |  | $ | 42,499,378 |  |  | $ | 48,618,843 |
Allowance for doubtful accounts |  |  | (5,345,443 | ) |  |  | (13,078,800 | )
Lease receivables, net |  | $ | 37,153,935 |  |  | $ | 35,540,043 |

The allowance is a significant percentage of the balance because 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 $18,971,772 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and $17,083,567 for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

|  | Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 |  |  | Year Ended December 31, 2022 |
Beginning balance |  | $ | 13,078,800 |  |  | $ | 27,703,278 |
Provision |  |  | 11,238,415 |  |  |  | 57,420,480 |
Accounts written off |  |  | (18,971,772 | ) |  |  | (72,044,958 | )
Ending balance |  | $ | 5,345,443 |  |  | $ | 13,078,800 |

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 March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

|  | March 31, 2023 |  |  | December 31, 2022 |
Lease merchandise at cost |  | $ | 58,037,072 |  |  | $ | 62,379,920 |
Accumulated depreciation and impairment reserve |  |  | (31,128,967 | ) |  |  | (30,829,479 | )
Lease merchandise, net |  | $ | 26,908,105 |  |  | $ | 31,550,441 |

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 120 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 120 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 $984,652 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and a loss of $523,424 for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

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 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. The breakout of lease revenues and fees, net of lessor bad debt expense, that ties to the consolidated statements of operations is shown below:

|  | Three Months ended March 31, |
|  | 2023 |  |  | 2022 |
Lease billings and accruals |  | $ | 34,255,083 |  |  | $ | 39,597,429 |
Provision for doubtful accounts |  |  | (11,238,415 | ) |  |  | (11,831,117 | )
Gain on sale of lease receivables |  |  | 1,697,490 |  |  |  | - |
Lease revenues and fees |  | $ | 24,714,158 |  |  | $ | 27,766,312 |

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 $70,367 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and $49,329 for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

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 $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and $1,274 for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

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.

8

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 $443,059 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and $769 for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

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 $1,163,348 and $847,572 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, 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 $1,295,814 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and $984,994 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Capitalized software amortization expense was $909,344 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and $621,694 for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

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 $169,082 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and $293,055 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Capitalized data costs amortization expense was $219,750 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and $88,721 for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Capitalized data costs net of its amortization are included in the consolidated balance sheets in other assets, net.

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.

9

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.

|  | Three Months ended |
|  | March 31, |
|  | 2023 |  |  | 2022 |
Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock |  |  | 225,231 |  |  |  | 225,231 |
Series 2 Convertible Preferred Stock |  |  | 5,845,695 |  |  |  | 5,845,695 |
Series 2 Convertible Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of warrants |  |  | 116,903 |  |  |  | 116,903 |
Common Stock Options |  |  | 3,917,728 |  |  |  | 3,837,559 |
Common Stock Warrants |  |  | 2,255,184 |  |  |  | 2,255,184 |
Performance Share Units |  |  | 790,327 |  |  |  | 790,327 |
|  |  | 13,151,068 |  |  |  | 13,070,899 |

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022:

|  | Three Months ended |

Basic EPS |  | $ | (0.06 | ) |  |  | (0.14 | )
Diluted EPS |  | $ | (0.06 | ) |  |  | (0.14 | )

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 9).

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 and the carrying value of promissory notes to related parties approximates fair value based upon their interest rates, which approximate current market interest rates.

10

The Company utilizes the fair value option on its entire loan receivables portfolio purchased from its bank partner and for the portfolio acquired in the Revolution Transaction (See Note 14).

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 March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 is as follows:

|  | Fair Value Measurement Using |  |  | Carrying |
Financial instruments – As of March 31, 2023 (1) |  | Level 1 |  |  | Level 2 |  |  | Level 3 |  |  | Amount |
Loan receivables at fair value |  | $ | - |  |  | $ | - |  |  | $ | 29,317,948 |  |  | $ | 36,508,938 |
Promissory note related to acquisition |  |  | - |  |  |  | - |  |  |  | 3,063,771 |  |  |  | 3,063,771 |

|  | Fair Value Measurement Using |  |  | Carrying |
Financial instruments – As of December 31, 2022 (1) |  | Level 1 |  |  | Level 2 |  |  | Level 3 |  |  | Amount |
Loan receivables at fair value |  | $ | - |  |  | $ | - |  |  | $ | 32,932,504 |  |  | $ | 42,747,668 |
Promissory note related to acquisition |  |  | - |  |  |  | - |  |  |  | 3,158,471 |  |  |  | 3,158,471 |

(1) | For cash, lease receivable, and accounts payable the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to their short-term nature. The carrying value of loans payable under the Credit Agreement, the carrying value of promissory notes to related parties approximates fair value based upon their interest rates, which approximate current market interest rates.

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 discounted cash flow model. The model uses inputs including estimated cash flows and a discount rate.

11

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.

For Level 3 assets carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs, the following table presents a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for the years ended March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

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 March 31, 2023, 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.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year/ period balances have been reclassified to conform with the current year/ period presentation. These reclassifications primarily include separating the prepaid expenses, right of use asset and loan revenues and fees, net of changes in fair value as separate line items.

4. LEASES

Refer to Note 3 to these 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.

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 in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements), 22 storefront lease agreements were acquired by FlexShopper. Some of those stores were closed or transferred to franchisees after the Revolution Transaction. As of March 31, 2023, 19 storefront lease agreements belong to FlexShopper. The stores are located in Alabama, Michigan, Nevada, and Oklahoma and are used to offer finance products to customers. The monthly average rent for these stores is approximately $1,700 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 consolidated balance sheets.

Total Lease Liabilities |  |  |  | $ | 1,726,030 |  |  | $ | 1,774,623 |

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 | % |  |  | 5 |
Finance Leases |  |  | 13.39 | % |  |  | 1 |

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 $97,367 and $97,592 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, respectively.

Supplemental cash flow information related to operating leases is as follows:

8. LOAN PAYABLE UNDER 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”). The Borrower is permitted to borrow funds under the 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 Credit Agreement) less certain deductions described in the Credit Agreement. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, the Borrower may borrow up to $57,500,000 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 Lender was granted a security interest in certain leases and loans as collateral under this Agreement.

On January 29, 2021, the Company and the Lender signed an Omnibus Amendment to the Credit Agreement. This Amendment extended the Commitment Termination Date to April 1, 2024, amended other covenant requirements, partially removed indebtedness covenants and amended eligibility rules. The interest rate charged on amounts borrowed is LIBOR plus 11% per annum. The Company paid the lender a fee of $237,000 in consideration of the execution of this Omnibus Amendment. At March 31, 2023, amounts borrowed bear interest at 15.94%.

On March 8, 2022, pursuant to Amendment No. 15 to Credit Agreement, the Commitment Amount was increased to be up to $82,500,000. The incremental increase in the Commitment Amount was provided by WE 2022-1, LLC, as an additional lender under the Credit Agreement. WE 2022-1, LLC is an affiliate of Waterfall Asset Management, LLC. No other changes were made to the credit agreement. As of July 1, 2022, WE 2022-1, LLC assigned 100% of its Commitment and all Loans to WE 2014-1, LLC. Effective September 27, 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.

On October 21, 2022, pursuant to Amendment No. 16 to Credit Agreement, the Commitment Amount was increased to be up to $110,000,000. This amendment also replaced LIBOR references in the Credit Agreement with SOFR (Secured Overnight Financing Rate), as the basis for our interest payments under the Credit Agreement. No other changes were made to the Credit Agreement.

The 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 Credit Agreement includes covenants requiring FlexShopper to maintain a minimum amount of Equity Book Value, maintain a minimum amount of liquidity and cash and maintain a certain ratio of Consolidated Total Debt to Equity Book Value (each capitalized term, as defined in the Credit Agreement). Upon a Permitted Change of Control (as defined in the Credit Agreement), FlexShopper must refinance the debt under the Credit Agreement, subject to the payment of an early termination fee. A summary of the covenant requirements, and FlexShopper’s actual results at March 31, 2023, follows:

|  | March 31, 2023 |
|  | Required Covenant |  |  | Actual Position |
Equity Book Value not less than |  | $ | 16,452,246 |  |  | $ | 31,226,391 |
Liquidity greater than |  |  | 1,500,000 |  |  |  | 9,861,646 |
Cash greater than |  |  | 500,000 |  |  |  | 9,869,527 |
Consolidated Total Debt to Equity Book Value ratio not to exceed |  |  | 5.25 |  |  |  | 3.12 |

The 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 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 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 $2,750,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and $6,800,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The Company repaid under the Credit Agreement and $2,575,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and $1,125,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Interest expense incurred under the Credit Agreement amounted to $3,278,837 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and $1,551,844 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The outstanding balance under the Credit Agreement was $81,375,000 as of March 31, 2023 and was $81,200,000 as of December 31, 2022. Such amount is presented in the consolidated balance sheets net of unamortized issuance costs of $281,884 and $352,252 as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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, 2024, or from reductions in the borrowing base. Accordingly, all principal is shown as a non-current liability at March 31, 2023.

Since October 2022, the Company has been entering into Interest Rate Cap Agreements with AXOS bank, a financial institution not related with the Lender of the Credit Agreement. These agreements cap the variable portion (one month SOFR) of the Credit Agreement interest rate to 4%, which reduce the Company’s exposure to additional increases in interest rates.

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 March 31, 2023, 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 March 31, 2023, 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 March 31, 2023 totaled $20,056,609. As of March 31, 2023, 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. The common stock is traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “FPAY.”

Warrants

In September 2018, the Company issued warrants exercisable for 5,750,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.25 per share (the “Public Warrants”). The warrants were immediately exercisable and expire five years from the date of issuance. The warrants were listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “FPAYW”.

The Company also issued additional warrants exercisable for an aggregate 1,055,184 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.25 per warrant to Mr. Heiser and NRNS in connection with partial conversions of their promissory notes. The warrants are exercisable at $1.25 per share of common stock and expire on September 28, 2023.

In connection with the issuance of Series 2 Convertible Preferred Stock in June 2016, the Company issued to the placement agent in such offering warrants exercisable for 439 shares of Series 2 Convertible Preferred Stock at an initial exercise price of $1,250 per share, which expire seven years after the date of issuance.

As part of a consulting agreement with XLR8 Capital Partners LLC (the “Consulting Agreement”), an entity of which the Company’s Chairman is manager, the Company agreed to issue 40,000 warrants to XLR8 Capital Partners LLC monthly for 12 months beginning on March 1, 2019 at an exercise price of $1.25 per share or, if the closing share price on the last day of the month exceeds $1.25, then such exercise price will be 110% of the closing share price. The warrants are immediately exercisable and expire following the close of business on June 30, 2023. In February 2020, this agreement was extended for an additional six months through August 31, 2020. On August 30, 2020, the parties entered into an amendment to the Consulting Agreement to further extend the term for another six-month period through February 28, 2021. The Consulting Agreement automatically renewed for one successive six-month period, therefore the new termination date was August 31, 2021. There are no additional automatic renewals.

The August 2020 amendment also modified the alternative minimum exercise price of the monthly warrant consideration issuable to the Consultant to $1.60 per share going forward, and the expiration date of the warrants to the date that is four years following the last trading day of the calendar month relating to the applicable monthly warrant issuance.

There was no expense recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022 related to warrants.

The following table summarizes information about outstanding stock warrants as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, all of which are exercisable:

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 of March 31, 2023, approximately 495,000 shares remained available for issuance under the 2018 Plan.

Stock-based compensation expense include the following components:

|  | Three Months Ended March 31, |
|  | 2023 |  |  | 2022 |
Stock options |  | $ | 420,748 |  |  | $ | 291,283 |
Performance share units (“PSU”) |  |  | - |  |  |  | 13,946 |
Total stock-based compensation |  | $ | 420,748 |  |  | $ | 305,229 |

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 consolidated statements of operations was $420,748 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and $305,229 for three months ended March 31, 2022. Unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested options and PSU at March 31, 2023 amounted to $439,321, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.12 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) pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

|  | Three Months ended March 31, 2023 |  |  | Three Months ended March 31, 2022 |
Exercise price |  | $ | - |  |  | $ | 1.54 |
Expected life |  |  | - |  |  |  | 6 years |
Expected volatility |  |  | - |  |  |  | 67 | %
Dividend yield |  |  | - |  |  |  | 0 | %
Risk-free interest rate |  |  | - |  |  |  | 1.95 | %

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.

21

Activity in stock options for the three months period ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022 was as follows:

|  | Number of options |  |  | Weighted average exercise price |  |  | Weighted average contractual term (years) |  |  | Aggregate intrinsic value |
Outstanding at January 1, 2023 |  |  | 3,919,228 |  |  | $ | 1.97 |  |  |  |  |  |  | $ | 52,223 |
Exercised |  |  | (1,500 | ) |  |  | 0.79 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 345 |
Outstanding at March 31, 2023 |  |  | 3,917,728 |  |  | $ | 1.97 |  |  |  | 6.54 |  |  | $ | 3,016 |
Vested and exercisable at March 31, 2023 |  |  | 3,555,094 |  |  | $ | 1.98 |  |  |  | 6.47 |  |  | $ | 3,016 |
Outstanding at January 1, 2022 |  |  | 3,080,904 |  |  | $ | 2.06 |  |  |  |  |  |  | $ | 1,923,642 |
Granted |  |  | 951,944 |  |  |  | 1.54 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | - |
Exercised |  |  | (162,956 | ) |  |  | 0.84 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 204,030 |
Forfeited |  |  | (7,333 | ) |  |  | 2.22 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 2,273 |
Expired |  |  | (25,000 | ) |  |  | 1.70 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | - |
Outstanding at March 31, 2022 |  |  | 3,837,559 |  |  | $ | 1.98 |  |  |  | 7.34 |  |  | $ | 925,306 |
Vested and exercisable at March 31, 2022 |  |  | 2,508,822 |  |  | $ | 1.25 |  |  |  | 6.58 |  |  | $ | 731,891 |

The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the three month period ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022 was $0 and $0.92 per share respectively.

Performance Share Units:

On February 10, 2022, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved awards of performance share units to certain senior executives of the Company.

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 performance-based shares which could potentially be issued ranges from 0 up to a maximum of 790,327 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. As of March 31, 2023, the Company determined it was not probable that the minimum performance component would be met and accordingly no expense was recognized in the three months period ended March 31, 2023.

Activity in performance share units for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was as follows:

|  | Number of performance share units |  |  | Weighted average grant date fair value |
Non- vested at January 1, 2023 |  |  | 790,327 |  |  | $ | 1.53 |
Granted |  |  | - |  |  |  | - |
Forfeited/ unearned |  |  | - |  |  |  | - |
Vested |  |  | - |  |  |  | - |
Non- vested at March 31, 2023 |  |  | 790,327 |  |  | $ | 1.53 |

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 March 31, 2023 was approximately 39%. This was different than the expected federal income tax rate of 21% primarily due to the impact of non-taxable income from non-deductible equity compensation and state income taxes.

During the second quarter of 2022, the Company released the valuation allowance of the Company’s deferred tax asset recorded as of December 31, 2021. The Company had historical cumulative positive pre-tax income plus permanent differences. The realization of the deferred tax asset as of March 31, 2023 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 between three to five 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.

23

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. 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 Seller Note, net of the discount, was $3,063,771 as of March 31, 2023 and $3,158,471 as of December 31, 2022. The Seller Note is included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets in the line Promissory note related to acquisition.

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. As of March 31, 2023, the Revolution Credit Facility was not yet legally transferred to FlexShopper, so this liability is included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets on the line Purchase consideration payable related to acquisition as the Company was obligated for the outstanding balance as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

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.

24

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.

15. 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 $50,161 and $50,617 for the three month period ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, respectively.

16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Nasdaq Notices

On April 19, 2023, the Company received a notice (the “Notice”) from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, as a result of not having timely filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2022 (the “Form 10-K”), the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1), which requires timely filing of all required periodic financial reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Notice had no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market. The Notice provided that the Company must submit a plan to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1).

25

On April 25, 2023, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq indicating that based on the April 24, 2023, filing of the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1).

On April 21, 2023, the Company received a letter (the “Second Notice”) from The Nasdaq Stock Market notifying the Company that, because the closing bid price for its common stock has been below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days, it no longer complies with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) requires listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”), and Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) provides that a failure to meet the Minimum Bid Price Requirement exists if the deficiency continues for a period of 30 consecutive business days.

The Second Notice had no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market. Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been provided an initial compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until October 18, 2023 to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. During the compliance period, the Company’s shares of common stock will continue to be listed and traded on The Nasdaq Capital Market. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during the 180 calendar day grace period.

In the event the Company is not in compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by October 18, 2023, the Company may be afforded a second 180 calendar day grace period. To qualify, the Company would be required to meet the continued listing requirements for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. In addition, the Company would be required to provide written notice of its intention to cure the minimum bid price deficiency during this second 180-day compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.

The Company intends to actively monitor the bid price for its common stock between now and October 18, 2023 and will consider available options to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.

H. Russell Heiser, Jr. Employment Agreement Amendment

On April 21, 2023, the Company entered into the Amendment No. 1 To Amended and Restated Employment Agreement with H. Russell Heiser. The employment agreement with Mr. Heiser extends for a term expiring on December 31, 2027, and is automatically renewable for three successive one-year terms unless written notice of non-renewal is timely provided by either party. Pursuant to this employment agreement, Mr. Heiser has agreed to devote his full time, attention and efforts to the Company’s business and his duties as Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The employment agreement provides that, effective as of March 20, 2023, Mr. Heiser will receive a base salary at an annual rate of $460,000 for services rendered in such position. Pursuant to a short-term incentive plan approved by the Compensation Committee of our Board, Mr. Heiser may be entitled to receive cash bonuses based on the executive meeting and exceeding performance goals relating to the net revenue and EBITDA of our company. The target cash bonus under the short-term incentive plan is up to 50% of Mr. Heiser’s annual base salary (with a maximum bonus payment of 100% of his base salary).

Pursuant to a long-term incentive plan approved by the Compensation Committee of our Board, Mr. Heiser will receive grants of stock options and performance share units (“PSUs”) under our 2018 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan. Mr. Heiser was granted stock options to purchase such number of shares of our common stock with a fair market value of $345,000, determined using the Black-Scholes formula for fair value as of the April 21, 2023 grant date and a ten-year life, with annual vesting at the rate of 25% over four years, commencing on December 31, 2023. Mr. Heiser was also granted PSUs for shares of our common stock with a fair market value of $690,000, based on the common stock price as of the April 21, 2023 grant date. The PSUs are subject to both performance and time-based vesting. The performance metrics are based on specified EBITDA goals for our company. If we achieve 100% of the performance metrics, 50% of the PSUs will vest (and 50% will be forfeited), with a maximum vesting of 100% of the PSUs if 200% of the target performance is achieved. For the time-based component, the PSUs will vest annually at the rate of 25% over four years, commencing on December 31, 2023.

The employment agreement also provides for termination by us upon death or disability of Mr. Heiser (defined as three aggregate months of incapacity during any 365-consecutive day period) or upon cause, which includes willful misconduct, gross negligence, willful failure to perform duties,fraud/embezzlement, willful policy violation or a breach of the employment agreement. In the event the employment agreement is terminated by us without cause or by the executive for good reason, defined as a material breach of the agreement by us, Mr. Heiser will be entitled to one year’s salary and COBRA reimbursement and immediate vesting of any equity which would have otherwise vested in the one year following the termination.

In the event of a termination without cause or resignation for good reason in either case within three months preceding or 12 months following a change of control of our company, Mr. Heiser will receive one year’s salary, his target bonus, 18 months of COBRA reimbursement and immediate vesting of all outstanding unvested (but non forfeited) equity awards.

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, 2022. 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, 2022 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

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 Samsung, Frigidaire, Hewlett-Packard, LG, Whirlpool, Ashley and Apple 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 LTO 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 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. 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 partners hold 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. In the three months period ending March 31, 2023, FlexShopper purchased $184,807 in participations, and recognized $1.6 million in interest income.

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.

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 March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

|  | March 31, 2023 |  |  | December 31, 2022 |
Lease receivables |  | $ | 42,499,378 |  |  | $ | 48,618,843 |
Allowance for doubtful accounts |  |  | (5,345,443 | ) |  |  | (13,078,800 | )
Lease receivables, net |  | $ | 37,153,935 |  |  | $ | 35,540,043 |

The allowance is a significant percentage of the balance because 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 $18,971,772 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and $17,083,567 for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

|  | Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 |  |  | Year Ended December 31, 2022 |
Beginning balance |  | $ | 13,078,800 |  |  | $ | 27,703,278 |
Provision |  |  | 11,238,415 |  |  |  | 57,420,480 |
Accounts written off |  |  | (18,971,772 | ) |  |  | (72,044,958 | )
Ending balance |  | $ | 5,345,443 |  |  | $ | 13,078,800 |

Loan receivables at fair value – The Company elected the fair value option on its entire loan receivables portfolio. As such, loan receivables are carried at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets with changes in fair value recorded on the consolidated statements of operations. Accrued and unpaid interest and fees are included in loan receivables at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets. Management believes the reporting of these receivables at fair value more closely approximates the true economics of the loan receivables.

Interest and fees are discontinued when loans receivable become contractually 120 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 120 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.

28

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.

In the bank partner origination model, applicants apply and are underwritten through our online platform and the loan is originated and funded by the bank partner. We manage many aspects of the loan life cycle on behalf of our bank partner, including customer acquisition, underwriting and loan servicing. The bank partner uses their own capital to originate loans. 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. Loan revenues and fees is representative of the Company’s portion of participation in the loans.

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.

FlexShopper originated 19,643 gross leases less same day modifications and cancellations with an average origination value of $670 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to 30,611 gross leases less same day modifications and cancellations with an average origination value of $532 for the comparable period last year. Net lease revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were $24,714,158 compared to $27,766,312 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, representing a decrease of $3,052,154 or 11.0%. In 2023, 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 33% and 30% for the three months ending March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, FlexShopper sold leases in default that were fully mature for $1,787,046 and paid fees for $89,556 over that sale, which generated a gain on sale of lease receivables of $1,697,490.

Net loan revenues for our bank partner loan model for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were $3,856,306 compared to $1,188,924 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, representing an increase of $2,667,382 or 224.4%. Our bank partner originated 166 loans at an average loan value of $1,125 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to 3,849 loans at an average loan value of $1,282 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Our bank partner sold to the Company a 95% participation interest for each loan originated in those periods.

Net loan revenues for our state license loan model for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were $2,215,311 with no prior revenue for 2022 as the Company acquired this business at the end of 2022. For the state license loan model, the Company originated 33,801 loans at an average loan value of $414 in the three months ending March 31, 2023.

Depreciation and impairment of lease merchandise for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $15,345,788 compared to $19,160,611 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, representing a decrease of $3,814,823 or 19.9%. As the Company’s lease portfolio and revenues decrease, the depreciation and related costs associated with the smaller portfolio also decrease. 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.

Loans origination cost and fees for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $1,833,627 compared to $425,513 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, representing an increase of $1,408,114 or 330.9%. Loan origination cost and fees is correlated to the volume and dollar amount of loan products. The increase is also related to the share of net revenues with franchisees.

Marketing expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2023 were $1,099,189 compared to $2,014,115 in the three months ended March 31, 2022, a decrease of $914,926 or 45.4%. Due to the macroeconomic conditions along with tightening approval rates, the Company has slowed down the marketing expenses.

Salaries and benefits expense in the three months ended March 31, 2023 were $2,726,890 compared to $2,964,442 in the three months ended March 31, 2022, a decrease of $237,552 or 8.0%. Generally, the salary and benefits expense should directionally move with the change in lease and loans originations and the overall size of the portfolios albeit at a slower rate.

Other operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 included the following:

|  | 2023 |  |  | 2022 |

31

Amortization and depreciation expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2023 were $1,826,157 compared to $937,062 in the three months ended March 31, 2022, representing an increase of $889,095 or 94.9%. 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 the intangible assets acquired in the Revolution Transaction (See Note 14 in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements). The rest of the increase is related to the amortization of capitalized of 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 three months ended March 31, 2023 were $1,143,761 compared to $1,168,847 in the three months ended March 31, 2022, representing a decrease of $25,086 or 2.1%. A significant portion of computer and internet expense is related to scaling both the consumer facing website and the Company’s back end billing and collection systems. Also, some of these expenses are related to the preparation for new products offered by the company.

Legal and professional fees expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2023 were $805,774 compared to $1,344,715 in the three months ended March 31, 2022, representing a decrease of $538,941 or 40.1%. The change is associated with the decrease in the lease portfolio which reduced the need for off-shore servicing and collection support.

Merchant bank fees expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2023 were $433,084 compared to $492,115 in the three months ended March 31, 2022, representing a decrease of $59,031 or 12.0%. 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 three months ended March 31, 2023 were $93,109 compared to $142,757 in the three months ended March 31, 2022, representing a decrease of $49,648 or 34.8%. Customer verification expense is primarily the cost of data used for underwriting new lease and loan applicants. The reduction in marketing expense and the optimization of underwriting and data science costs contributed to the decrease in this expense.

Stock compensation expense in the three months ended March 31, 2023 were $420,748 compared to $305,229 in the three months ended March 31, 2022, representing an increase of $115,519 or 37.8%. With the passing of Richard House, Jr, our former CEO, on March 16, 2023, and according to his employment agreement, the Company vested all his outstanding stock options which contributed to the increase in this expense.

Rent expense in the three months ended March 31, 2023 were $292,892 compared to $179,279 in the three months ended March 31, 2022, representing an increase of $113,613 or 63.4%. The increase is related to the monthly lease expense for the storefronts we acquired in the Revolution Transaction.

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 pending LTO Payment Method |  | In-store LTO technology platform
Search engine optimization; pay-per click |  | Direct to retailers/e-retailers |  | Direct to retailers/e-retailers
Online affiliate networks |  | Partnerships with payment aggregators |  | Consultants & strategic relationships
Direct response television campaigns |  | Consultants & strategic relationships |  |
Direct mail |  |  |  |

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.

32

In 2021, we began to market an unsecured, consumer loan product for our bank partner. In 2022, the marketing of our bank partner’s loans has become a strategic solution that we offer to many of our current customers and through our retailer partners.

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.

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 March 31, 2023, the Company had cash and restricted cash of $9,869,527 compared to $4,319,701 at the same date in 2022. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had cash and restricted cash of $6,173,349. The increase in cash from December 31, 2022, was primarily due to the cash generated by the portfolio and the reduction in originations.

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had lease receivables of $42,499,378 offset by an allowance for doubtful accounts of $5,345,443, resulting in net accounts receivable of $37,153,935. 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 March 31, 2023, the Company had loan receivables of $29,317,948 which is measured at fair value. The Company primarily estimates the fair value of its loan receivables using a discounted cash flow models that have been internally developed.

Credit Agreement

On March 6, 2015, FlexShopper, through a wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Borrower”), entered into a credit agreement (as amended from time to time and including the Fee Letter (as defined therein), 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 (the “Lender”). The Borrower is permitted to borrow funds under the Credit Agreement based on FlexShopper’s recently collected payments and the Amortized Order Value of its Eligible Leases (as such terms are defined in the Credit Agreement) less certain deductions described in the Credit Agreement. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, the Borrower may currently borrow up to $82,500,000 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). On January 29, 2021, pursuant to an amendment to the Credit Agreement, the Commitment Termination Date was extended to April 1, 2024, the Lender was granted a security interest in certain leases as collateral under the Credit Agreement and the interest rate charged on amounts borrowed was set at LIBOR plus 11% per annum.

The Credit Agreement provides that FlexShopper may not incur additional indebtedness (other than expressly permitted indebtedness) without the permission of the Lender and also prohibits dividends on common stock. Additionally, the Credit Agreement includes covenants requiring FlexShopper to maintain a minimum amount of Equity Book Value, maintain a minimum amount of cash and liquidity and maintain a certain ratio of Consolidated Total Debt to Equity Book Value (each capitalized term, as defined in the Credit Agreement). Upon a Permitted Change of Control (as defined in the Credit Agreement), FlexShopper may refinance the debt under the Credit Agreement, subject to the payment of an early termination fee.

In addition, the Lender and its affiliates have a right of first refusal on certain FlexShopper transactions involving leases or other financial products. The 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 Credit Agreement and related agreements entered into with the Lender, breaches of representations, warranties or certifications made by or on behalf of the Borrower in the Credit Agreement and related documents (including certain financial and expense covenants), deficiencies in the borrowing base, certain judgments against the Borrower and bankruptcy events.

33

Effective September 27, 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.

On October 21, 2022, pursuant to Amendment No. 16 to the Credit Agreement between FlexShopper 2, LLC, as borrower, and Powerscourt Investments 32, LP, as administrative agent and lender, the Commitment Amount was increased to be up to $110,000,000. This amendment also replaced LIBOR references in the Credit Agreement with SOFR (Secured Overnight Financing Rate), as the basis for our interest payments under the Credit Agreement. No other changes were made to the Credit Agreement.

The Company borrowed under the Credit Agreement $2,750,000 for three months ended March 31, 2023, and $6,800,000 for three months ended March 31, 2022. The Company repaid under the Credit Agreement $2,575,000 for three months ended March 31, 2023, and $1,125,000 for three months ended March 31, 2022.

Since October 2022, the Company has been entering into Interest Rate Cap Agreements with AXOS bank, a financial institution not related with the Lender of the Credit Agreement. These agreements cap the variable portion (one month SOFR) of the Credit Agreement interest rate to 4%, which reduced the Company’s exposure to additional increases in interest rates.

Financing Activity

On January 25, 2019, FlexShopper, LLC (the “Borrower”) entered into a subordinated debt financing letter agreement with 122 Partners, LLC, as lender, pursuant to which FlexShopper, LLC 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. Payment of the principal amount and accrued interest under the 122 Partners Note was due and payable by the borrower on April 30, 2020 and the borrower can prepay principal and interest at any time without penalty. At March 31, 2023, amounts outstanding under the 122 Partners Note bear interest at a rate of 20.94%. Obligations under the 122 Partners Note are subordinated to obligations under the Credit Agreement. The 122 Partners 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 122 Partners Note. Obligations under the 122 Partners Note are secured by substantially all of the Borrower’s assets, subject to the senior rights of the lenders under the Credit Agreement. On April 30, 2020, pursuant to an amendment to the subordinated debt financing letter agreement, the Borrower and 122 Partners, LLC agreed to extend the maturity date of the 122 Partners Note to April 30, 2021. On March 22, 2021, FlexShopper, LLC executed a second amendment to the 122 Partners Note such that the maturity date of the 122 Partners Note was extended to April 1, 2022. On March 31, 2022, FlexShopper, LLC executed a third amendment to the 122 Partners Note such that the maturity date of the 122 Partners Note was extended to April 1, 2023. On March 30, 2023, FlexShopper, LLC 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. No other changes were made to the 122 Partners Note. As of March 31, 2023, $1,017,941 of principal and accrued and unpaid interest was outstanding on the 122 Partners Note.

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 March 31, 2023, amounts outstanding under the NRNS Note bear interest at a rate of 20.94%. 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. No other changes were made to the NRNS Note. As of March 31, 2023, $10,942,865 of principal and accrued and unpaid interest was outstanding on the NRNS Note.

Cash Flow Summary

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $5,599,339 for the three months ended March 31, 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.

Net cash used in operating activities was $7,940,659 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was primarily due to the purchases of leased merchandise and the change in lease receivable and accounts payable, partially 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 three months ended March 31, 2023, net cash used in investing activities was $1,922,882 comprised of the use of $1,753,800 for the purchase of property and equipment, including capitalized software costs, and $169,082 of data costs.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, net cash used in investing activities was $1,553,810 comprised of $1,260,755 for the purchase of property and equipment, including capitalized software costs and $293,055 for data costs.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $19,721 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 primarily due to the funds drawn on the Credit Agreement of $2,750,000 offset by repayments of amounts borrowed under the Credit Agreement of $2,575,000 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 May 11, 2023, 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, 2022 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 certain account analysis and accounting judgments related to the complex and ambiguous concepts associated with business combination accounting. The business combination that led to the material weakness was a unique, one-time transaction, where the initial intangible assets initially identified by the Company were not accurate.

As of March 31, 2023, the material weakness described above was remediated as management of the Company increased the use of external consultants.

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level at March 31, 2023.

Richard House, Jr., the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and Principal Executive Officer, passed away on March 16, 2023. H. Russell Heiser, Jr., who was the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, was appointed by the Company’s Board of Directors to become the Chief Executive Officer of the Company effective March 20, 2023. In such capacity, Mr. Heiser has been designated as the Principal Executive Officer, in addition to temporarily also being the Principal Financial and Accounting Officer of the Company.

Other than the remediation of the material weakness and the change in Chief Executive Officer, 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, 2022. 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.

If we cannot continue to satisfy The Nasdaq Capital Market continued listing standards and other Nasdaq rules, our common stock could be delisted, which would harm our business, the trading price of our common stock, our ability to raise additional capital and the liquidity of the market for our common stock.

Our common stock is currently listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market. To maintain the listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market, we are required to meet certain listing requirements, including, among others: (i) a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share, a market value of publicly held shares (excluding shares held by our executive officers, directors and 10% or more stockholders) of at least $1.0 million and stockholders’ equity of at least $2.5 million; (ii) a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share, a market value of publicly held shares (excluding shares held by our executive officers, directors and 10% or more stockholders) of at least $1 million and a market value of all listed securities of at lease $35.0 million; or (iii) a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share, a market value of publicly held shares (excluding shares held by our executives officers, directors and 10% or more stockholders) of at least $1.0 million and net income from continuing operations of at least $500,000 (in the latest fiscal year or in two of the last three fiscal years).

There is no assurance that we will be able to maintain compliance with the minimum closing price requirement. On April 21, 2023, the Company received a letter (the “Notice”) from The Nasdaq Stock Market notifying the Company that, because the closing bid price for its common stock has been below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days, it no longer complies with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company has been provided an initial compliance period of 180 calendar days to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. During the compliance period, the Company’s shares of common stock will continue to be listed and traded on The Nasdaq Capital Market. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during the 180 calendar day grace period. The Company intends to actively monitor the bid price for its common stock and will consider available options to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.

There have been no other material changes to such risk factors.
