NOTE 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of financial statement presentation.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Company and
its wholly-owned subsidiaries. MLCMarlin Leasing Corporation (“MLC”) and MBB are managed
together as a single business segment and
are aggregated for financial reporting purposes as they exhibit similar economic
characteristics, share the same leasing and loan
portfolio and have onea single consolidated product offering.offering
platform. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated
in consolidation.

During the second quarter of 2017, the Company identified that the sale of certain leases had been reported as cash flows from operating activities that should have been presented as investing activities. In addition, the Company also identified that the deferral of certain expenses associated with the cost of originating leases had been reported as an adjustment to operating cash flow rather than as an investing activity.

The Company corrected the previously presented cash flows for these items and in doing so, the consolidated statement of cash flow for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016 was adjusted to increase net cash flows from operating activities by $2.4 million and to decrease net cash flows used in investing activities by the same amount. The Company has evaluated the effect of this incorrect presentation, both qualitatively and quantitatively, on its previously filedaccompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and has collectively concluded that such effect is not material.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements present

the Company’s financial position
at September 30, 20172021 and
the results of operations for thethree-and nine-month three-
and nine -month periods ended September 30, 20172021 and 2016,2020, and cash flows for
the nine-monthnine-
month periods ended September 30, 20172021 and 2016. 2020.
In Management’smanagement’s opinion, the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
consolidated financial statements
contain all adjustments, which include normal and recurring adjustments,
necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and
results of operations for the interim periods presented.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and note disclosures
included in the Company’s Form10-K
for the year ended
December 31, 2020, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)
on March 13, 2017.5, 2021. The consolidated results of operations for thethree-and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 and the consolidated
statements of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016these interim financial statements are not
necessarily indicative of the results of operations or cash flows
for the respective full years or any other period.

Goodwill

Use of Estimates.
These unaudited consolidated financial statements require
management to make estimates and Intangible Assets.
The Company tests for impairmentassumptions that
affect the reported amounts of goodwillassets and liabilities and disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities at least annually and more frequently as circumstances warrant in accordance with applicable accounting guidance. Accounting guidance allows for the testing of goodwill for impairment using both qualitative and quantitative factors. Impairment of goodwill is recognized only if the carrying amountdate of the Company, including goodwill, exceedsfinancial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Estimates are used when accounting for
income recognition, the residual values of leased equipment, the
allowance for credit losses, deferred initial direct costs and fees, late
fee receivables, the fair value of the Company. The amountfinancial instruments, estimated losses from
insurance program, and income taxes. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
Income taxes.
-11-
Our statutory tax rate, which is a combination of the impairment loss would be equal to the excess carrying value of the goodwill over the implied fair value of the Company’s goodwill.

Currently, the Company does not have any intangible assets with indefinite useful lives.

Intangible assets that are not deemed to have an indefinite useful life are amortized over their estimated useful lives. The carrying amounts of intangible assets are regularly reviewed for indicators of impairment in accordance with applicable accounting guidance. Impairment is recognized only if the carrying amount of the intangible asset is in excess of its undiscounted projected cash flows. Impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying amountfederal and the estimated fair value of the asset.

Significant Accounting Policies.
There have been no other significant changes to our CriticalSignificant Accounting
Policies as described in our 2016
Annual Report on Form10-K.

10-K for the year ended December 31,

2020.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards.

In September 2017, the FASBAdopted Accounting Standards Update2017-13,Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to the Staff Announcement at the July 20, 2017 EITF Meeting and Rescission of Prior SEC Staff Announcements and Observer Comments.The Accounting Standards Codification is amended as described in paragraphs 2–20 of the guidance.

Stock-Based Compensation.

.
Credit Losses.
In May 2017,June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”(“FASB”)
issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)2017-09,Compensation—Stock Compensation
ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 718)
326): ScopeMeasurement of ModificationCredit Losses on Financial Instruments and related
ASUs collectively referred to as “CECL”.
The Company adopted the guidance in these ASUs, effective January
1, 2020, applying changes resulting from the application of the
new standard’s provisions
as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning
of the first reporting period in
which the guidance was effective (i.e., modified retrospective
approach). See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2020 for a detailed discussion of our adoption of
this guidance.
Income Taxes
. In December 2019, the FASB
issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes
(Topic 740): Simplifying
the Accounting
. for
Income Taxes, which
removes certain exceptions to the general principles of ASC 740 in order to reduce
the cost and complexity of
its application.
The amendments in this ASU provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. An entity should account for the effects of modifications unless all the following are met: 1) the fair value (or calculated value or intrinsic value, if such an alternative measurement method is used) of the modified award is the same as the fair value (or calculated value or intrinsic value, if such an alternative measurement method is used) of the original award immediately before the original award is modified; 2) the vesting conditions of the modified award are the same as the vesting conditions of the original award immediately before the original award is modified; and 3) the classification of the modified award as an equity instrument or a liability instrument is the same as the classification of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. The current disclosure requirements in Topic 718 apply regardless of whether an entity is required to apply modification accounting under the amendments in this ASU. The amendments in this ASU are effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company will apply the amendments in this ASU prospectively to each period presented, when applicable. The Company is evaluating the impact of this new requirement on the consolidated statement of operations, balance sheet and cash flows of the Company.

The amendments in this ASU clarify that a financial asset is within the scope of Subtopic610-20 if it meets the definition of an in substance nonfinancial asset. The amendments define the term in substance nonfinancial asset, in part, as a financial asset promised to a counterparty in a contract if substantially all of the fair value of the assets (recognized and unrecognized) that are promised to the counterparty in the contract is concentrated in nonfinancial assets. If substantially all of the fair value of the assets that are promised to the counterparty in a contract is concentrated in nonfinancial assets, then all of the financial assets promised to the counterparty are in substance nonfinancial assets within the scope of Subtopic610-20. The amendments in this ASU also clarify that nonfinancial assets within the scope of Subtopic610-20 may include nonfinancial assets transferred within a legal entityand amend existing guidance to a counterparty.improve

consistent application. The amendments in this ASU areis effective for public business entities for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company will apply the amendments in this ASU prospectively to each period presented, when applicable. The Company is evaluating the impact of this new requirement on the consolidated statement of operations, balance sheet and cash flows of the Company.

Revenue Recognition. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (a new revenue recognition standard). The ASU’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, this ASU specifies the accounting for certain costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer and expands disclosure requirements for revenue recognition. This ASU is effective, as a result of ASU2015-14, for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017,2020, including interim periods

within that reporting period. The Company expects to adopt the revenue recognition guidancethose annual periods.
We adopted
ASU 2019-12 on
January 1, 2018 using2021, and the modified retrospective approach. A significant amount of the Company’s revenues is derived from net interest income on financial assets and liabilities, which are excluded from the scope of the amended guidance. With respect to other income, the Company is in the process of identifying and evaluating the revenue streams and underlying revenue contracts within the scope of the guidance. The Company is expecting to develop processes and procedures during the fourth quarter of 2017 to ensure it is fully compliant with these amendments. To date, the Company has not yet identified any significant changes in the timing of revenue recognition when considering the amended accounting guidance; however, the Company’s implementation efforts are ongoing and such assessments may change prior to the January 1, 2018 implementation date.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718):Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.This ASU, which was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2017, simplifies the accounting for several aspects of share-based payment transactions, including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The changes which impacted the Company included a requirement that all excess tax benefits and deficiencies that pertain to share-based payment arrangements be recognized within income tax expense line instead of additional paid in capital. The Company elected to adopt these changes on a prospective basis. Additionally, the ASU no longer requires a presentation of excess tax benefits and deficiencies related to the vesting and exercise of share-based compensation as both an operating outflow and financing inflow on the statement of cash flows. Adoption of this ASUadoption did not have a material impact on our

consolidated financial position or results of operations or financial position

operations.

OTTI

The Company evaluates all investment securities in an unrealized loss position for OTTI on at least a quarterly basis. An unrealized loss exists when the current fair value of an individual security is less than its amortized cost basis. The OTTI assessment is a subjective process requiring the use of judgments and assumptions. During the securities-level assessments, consideration is given to $

(1) the intent not to sell and probability that the Company will not be required to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, as well as company news and current events, and (3) the ability to collect the future expected cash flows. Key assumptions utilized to forecast expected cash flows may include loss severity, expected cumulative loss percentage, cumulative loss percentage to date, weighted average Fair Isaac Corporation (“FICO®”) scores and weighted average LTV ratio, rating or scoring, credit ratings and market spreads, as applicable.

According to accounting guidance for debt securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company is required to assess whether it has the intent to sell the debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell the debt security before the anticipated recovery. If either of these conditions is met the Company must recognize an other than temporary impairment with the entire unrealized loss being recorded through earnings. For debt securities in an unrealized loss position not meeting these conditions, the Company assesses whether the impairment of a security is other than temporary. If the impairment is deemed to be other than temporary, the Company must separate the other than temporary impairment into two components: the amount representing the credit loss and the amount related to all other factors, such as changes in interest rates. The credit loss represents the portion of the amortized book value in excess of the net present value of the projected future cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate implicit in the debt security prior to impairment. The credit loss component of the other than temporary impairment is recorded through earnings, whereas the amount relating to factors other than credit losses is recorded in other comprehensive income, net of taxes. The Company did not recognize any OTTI in earnings related to its investment securities for the three-and-nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016.

Portfolio Sales
The Company has historically originated certain lease and loans for
sale to third parties, based on their underwriting criteria and
specifications.
In addition, the Company may periodically enter into agreements to
sell certain leases and loans that were originated
for investment to third parties.
For agreements that qualify as a sale where the Company has continuing
involvement through servicing, the Company recognizes a
servicing liability at its initial fair value, and then amortizes the liability over
the expected servicing period based on the effective yield
method, within Other income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company’s sale agreements typically
do not contain
a stated servicing fee, so the initial value recognized as a servicing liability
is a reduction of the proceeds received and is based on an
estimate of the fair value attributable to that obligation.
The Company’s servicing liability
was $
0.7
million and $
1.3
million as of
September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, respectively,
and is recognized within Accounts payable and accrued expenses in the
Consolidated Balance Sheets.
As of September 30, 20172021 and December 31, 2016, there were less than $0.1 million and $0.1 million of commercial loans on anon-accrual basis, respectively. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016,2020, the Company had total finance receivables in which the terms portfolio
of the original agreements had been renegotiated in the amount of $2.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 there were $0.1 million of commercial loans that had been renegotiated. (See Note 5 for income recognition on leases and loans serviced for others

The Company adopted ASU 2016-13,
Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic
326): Measurement of Credit
Losses on
Financial Instruments
, which changed our accounting policy and estimated allowance,
effective January 1, 2020.
See further
discussion in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”, and
below.
-20-
Estimate of Current Expected Credit Losses (CECL)
The Company uses a vintage loss model as the approach to estimate and measure its expected
credit losses for all portfolio segments
and for all pools, primarily because the timing of the losses realized has been
consistent across historical vintages, such that the
company is able to develop a predictable and reliable loss curve for each separate
portfolio segment.
The vintage model assigns loans
to vintages by origination date, measures our historical average actual
loss and recovery experience within that vintage, develops a
loss curve based on the averages of all vintages, and predicts (or forecasts) the remaining
expected net losses of the current portfolio
by applying the expected net loss rates to the remaining life of each open vintage.
Additional detail specific to the measurement of each portfolio segment
as of September 30, 2021, is summarized below.
Equipment Finance:
Equipment Finance consists of Equipment Finance Agreements, Installment
Purchase Agreements and other leases and loans.
The risk characteristics referenced to develop pools of Equipment
Finance leases and loans are based on internally developed
credit score ratings, which is a measurement that combines many risk
characteristics, including loan size, external credit
scores, existence of a guarantee, and various characteristics of the borrower’s
business.
In addition, the Company separately
measured a pool of true leases so that any future cashflows from residuals could
be used to partially offset the allowance for
that pool.
The Company’s measurement
of Equipment Finance pools is based on its own historical loss experience.
The Company
analyzed the correlation of its own loss data from 2004 to 2019 against various
economic variables in order to determine an
approach for reasonable and supportable forecast.
The Company then selected certain economic variables to reference for its
forecast about the future, specifically the unemployment rate and growth
in business bankruptcy.
The Company’s
methodology reverts from the forecast data to its own loss data adjusted for
the long-term average of the referenced economic
variables, on a straight-line basis.
At each reporting date, the Company considers current conditions, including
changes in portfolio composition or the business
environment, when determining the appropriate measurement of
current expected credit losses for the remaining life of its
portfolio.
As of the January 1, 2020 adoption date, the Company utilized a 12-month forecast period
and 12-month straight-
line reversion period, based on its initial assessment of the appropriate timing.
However, starting with the March 31, 2020
measurement, the Company adjusted its model to reference a 6-month forecast
period and 12-month straight line reversion period.
The change in the length of the reasonable and supportable forecast was
based on observed market volatility in March 2020. During the first quarter
of 2021, the Company reverted to the pre-
COVID 12-month forecast period and 12-month straight line reversion
period and continued
using this forecast in the second
and third quarters of 2021 as uncertainty in the macroeconomic environment
has lessened and the Company’s
portfolio has
stabilized with low net charge-offs
and delinquencies.
The continued positive economic forecast resulted in provision
benefits for Equipment Finance of $
1.3
million and $
13.4
million for the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2021,
respectively, as compared
to provisions of $
7.2
million and $
38.7
million for the same periods in 2020 during the height of
the COVID-19 pandemic.
Working Capital:
The risk characteristics referenced to develop pools of Working
Capital loans is based on origination channel, separately
considering an estimation of loss for direct-sourced loans versus loans that were
sourced from a broker. The Company’s
historical relationship with its direct-sourced customers typically results in a lower
level of credit risk than loans sourced
from brokers where the Company has no prior credit relationship with the customer.
The Company’s measurement
of Working
Capital pools is based on its own historical loss experience.
The Company’s
Working
Capital loans typically range from 6 – 12 months of duration. For this portfolio
segment, due to the short contract
duration, the Company did not define a standard methodology to adjust
its loss estimate based on a forecast of economic
conditions.
However, the Company will continually assess through
a qualitative adjustment whether there are changes in
conditions and the environment that will impact the performance of these
loans that should be considered for qualitative
adjustment.
-21-
At each reporting date, the Company considers current conditions, including
changes in portfolio composition or the business
environment, when determining the appropriate measurement of
current expected credit losses for the remaining life of its
portfolio.
As of the January 1, 2020 adoption date, there was no qualitative adjustment to the Working
Capital portfolio.
However, starting with its March 31, 2020
measurement, driven by the elevated risk of credit loss driven by market
conditions due to COVID-19, the Company developed alternate scenarios
for credit loss based on an analysis of the
characteristics of its portfolio,
considering different timing and magnitudes of potential
exposures.
During the third quarter, the Company
updated its expectation for credit losses for the Working
Capital segment based on the
favorable actual portfolio performance during the quarter
and a revised forecast based on its current assessment of risks in the
portfolio.
Based on that analysis, the Company recognized a provision of $
0.3
million for the three months ended September
30, 2021, bringing the total provision associated with Working
Capital to $
0.4
million for the nine months ended September
30, 2021.
Commercial Vehicle
Group (CVG):
Transportation-related equipment leases and
loans are analyzed as a single pool, as the Company did not consider any risk
characteristics to be significant enough to warrant disaggregating this population.
The Company’s measurement
of CVG is based on a combination of its own historical loss experience and industry
loss data
from an external source. The Company has limited history of this product,
and therefore the Company determined it was
appropriate to develop an estimate based on a combination of internal
and industry data.
Due to the Company’s limited
history of performance of this segment, and the limited size of the portfolio,
the Company did not develop a standard
methodology to adjust its loss estimate based on a forecast of economic conditions.
However, the Company will continually
assess through a qualitative adjustment whether there are changes in conditions
and the environment that will impact the
performance of these loans that should be considered for qualitative adjustment.
At each reporting date, the Company considers current conditions, including
changes in portfolio composition or the business
environment, when determining the appropriate measurement for
the remaining life of the current portfolio.
As of the
January 1, 2020 adoption date, there were no qualitative adjustment to the CVG portfolio.
However, starting with the
March
31, 2020 measurement, driven by the elevated risk of credit loss driven by market
conditions due to COVID-19, the
Company developed alternate scenarios for expected credit loss for
this segment, considering different timing and
magnitudes of potential exposures.
Beginning in the first quarter of 2021, the Company updated its expectation for
credit losses for the CVG segment, including
separately assessing the elevated risks of a population of motor coach industry contracts
that are facing prolonged impacts
from COVID-19. While the segment continues to evidence negative impacts
from COVID-19 as seen in the segment’s
delinquency and modification balances, it is also experiencing positive
indicators such as paydown of balance.
These factors,
including no further significant reduction in collateral values resulted
in the qualitative reserve remaining unchanged from the
prior quarter at $
4.7
million of total CVG qualitative adjustments for COVID-19 related risks.
Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) Loans:
CRA loans are comprised of loans originated under a line of credit to satisfy the
Company’s obligations under
the CRA.
The
Company does not measure an allowance specific to this population because
the exposure to credit loss is nominal.
For the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized
provision benefits of $
1.2
million, and $
14.0
million, respectively,
driven primarily by improving economic forecasts and portfolio performance.
Our reserve as of September 30, 2021, and the qualitative and economic
adjustments discussed above, were calculated referencing our
historical loss experience, including loss experience through the 2008
economic cycle, and our adjustments to that experience based
on our judgements about the extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Those judgements include certain expectations for the
extent and timing of impacts from COVID-19 on unemployment rates and business
bankruptcies and are based on our current
expectations of the performance of our portfolio in the current environment.
We may recognize
credit losses in excess of our reserve
or revise our estimate of credit losses in the future, and such amounts
may be significant, based on (i) the actual performance of our
portfolio, including the performance of the modified portfolio, (ii)
any further changes in the economic environment, or (iii) other
developments or unforeseen circumstances that impact our portfolio.
-22-
Loan Modification Program:
In response to COVID-19, starting in mid-March 2020, the Company
instituted a Loan modification payment deferral program in
order to assist its customers that requested relief and were current under their existing
agreement.
The payment deferral program
allows for up to 6 months of fully deferred or reduced payments. As of September
30, 2021, the Company’s Loan modification
program has been terminated, with future modifications considered
and granted on a case-by-case basis.
As of September 30, 2021, the Company had
3,460
active modified leases and loans totaling $
69.5
million of which all except $
0.5
million were out of the deferral period. Out of the deferral period
means the contract has returned to its regular payment schedule. For
loans in deferral period, the deferral may either be full, with zero payment
owed during the deferral period, or partial, with reduced
payments during deferral that are primarily
25
%-
50
% of schedule, or the deferral period payment may be a nominal amount.
Total resolved
modifications include
311
contracts charged off where a $
7.0
million credit loss was realized, and
1,848
contracts that
paid in full.
TDRs are restructurings of leases and loans in which, due to the borrower's financial
difficulties, a lender grants a concession that it
would not otherwise consider for borrowers of similar credit quality.
In accordance with the interagency guidance as updated in April
2020, that the FASB concurred
with, loans modified under the Company’s
payment deferral program are not considered TDRs. As of
September 30, 2021, the Company had $
10.3
million of active contracts designated as TDRs.
Credit Quality
At origination, the Company utilizes an internally developed credit
score ratings as part of its underwriting assessment and pricing
decisions for new contracts.
The internal
credit score is a measurement that combines many risk characteristics, including loan
size,
external credit scores, existence of a guarantee, and various characteristics
of the borrower’s business.
The internal credit score is
used to create pools of loans for analysis in the Company’s
Equipment Finance portfolio segment, as discussed further above.
We
believe this segmentation allows our loss modeling to properly reflect changes
in portfolio mix driven by sales activity and
adjustments to underwriting standards.
However, this score is not updated after origination date
for analyzing the Company’s
provision.
On an ongoing basis, to monitor the credit quality statistics.

(4)As of September 30, 2017, there were $1.6 million of restructures due to Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma.

of its portfolio, the

Company primarily reviews the current delinquency of the
portfolio and delinquency migration to monitor risk and default trends
.
We believe that
delinquency is the best factor to use to monitor
the credit quality of our portfolio on an ongoing basis because it reflects the current
condition of the portfolio and is a good predictor
of near-term charge-offs and can help
with identifying trends and emerging risks to the portfolio.
The following tables provide information about delinquent leases and loans in
the Company’s portfolio
based on the contract’s status
as-of the dates presented. In particular,
contracts that are part of the Loan Modification Program discussed above
are presented in the
below delinquency table and the non-accrual information for September
30, 2021 based on their status with respect to the modified
terms.

NOTE 6 –7 - Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill

As a result of the HKF acquisition on January 4, 2017, the Company recorded goodwill of $1.2 million as of September 30, 2017, which represents the excess purchase price over the Company’s fair value of the assets acquired. The recorded goodwill is not amortizable but is deductible for tax purposes. The purchase price allocation was finalized in the third quarter of 2017 and no changes made to the preliminary valuations were recorded. Impairment testing will be performed in the fourth quarter of each year and more frequently as warranted in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance. There was no impairment recorded during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017.

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 are as follows:

The Company is involved in legal proceedings, which include claims, litigation and suits arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, these actions will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Banking institutions are subject to periodic reviews and examinations from banking regulators. In the first quarter of 2017, one of MBB’s regulatory agencies communicated preliminary findings in connection with the timing of certain aspects of payment application process in effect prior to February 2016 related to the assessment of late fees. The Company believes that the resolution of this matter will require the Company to pay restitution to customers. The Company estimated such restitution at $4.2 million, which was expensed and related liability was recorded in the first quarter of 2017. However, the ultimate resolution of this matter could be materially different from the current estimate, including with respect to the timing, the exact amount of any required restitution or the possible imposition of any fines and penalties.

As of September 30, 2017, the Company leases all eight of its office locations including its executive offices in Mt. Laurel, New Jersey, and its offices in or near Atlanta, Georgia; Salt Lake City, Utah; Portsmouth, New Hampshire; Highlands Ranch, Colorado; Denver, Colorado; Plymouth, Michigan; and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. These lease commitments are accounted for as operating leases. The Company has entered into several capital leases to finance corporate property and equipment.

NOTE 11 – Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures about the Fair
Value of Financial
Instruments

Fair Value
Measurements

The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB ASC establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements. Its provisions do not apply to fair value measurements for purposes of lease classification and measurement, which is addressed in the Leases Topic of the FASB ASC.

Fair value is defined in GAAP as the price that would be received to sell an asset or the price that would
be paid to transfer a liability
on the measurement date. GAAP focuses on the exit price in the principal or
most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an
orderly transaction between market participants. A three-level valuation
hierarchy is required for disclosure of fair value
measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of
an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The fair value
hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active
markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the
lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The level in the fair value hierarchy
within which the fair value measurement in its
entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to
the measurement in its entirety.

The three levels are defined as follows:

Level
In accordance with the Merger Agreement and De-banking
process discussed in Note 1, – Inputs to the valuation are unadjusted quoted prices Company sold all its investment securities
in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Inputs to the valuation may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active or inactive markets, and inputs other than quoted prices, such as interest rates and yield curves, which are observable for the asset or liability for substantially the full termthird quarter of the financial instrument.2021.

Level 3 – Inputs to the valuation are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. Level 3 inputs shall be used to measure fair value only to the extent that observable inputs are not available.

The Company characterizes active markets as those where transaction volumes are sufficient to provide objective pricing information, such as an exchange traded price. Inactive markets are typically characterized by low transaction volumes, and price quotations that vary substantially among market participants or are not based on current information.

The Company’s balances measured

at fair value on a recurring basis include the following as of September 30, 2017

Disclosures about the Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Financial Instruments Topichierarchy for any of the FASB ASC requires the disclosure of the estimatedperiods

presented.
Non-Recurring Measurements
Non-recurring fair value measurements include assets and liabilities that
are periodically remeasured or assessed for impairment using
Fair value measurements. Non-recurring measurements include the Company’s
evaluation of financial instruments including those financial instruments not measured atgoodwill and residual assets for
impairment, and the Company’s
remeasurement of contingent consideration and assessment of the
carrying amount of its servicing
liability.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, there were no significant
amounts recognized in the Consolidated Statements of
Operations in connection with non-recurring fair value on a recurring basis. This requirement excludes certain instruments, suchmeasurements.

Cashinstruments, as

outlined in our consolidated financial statements and Cash Equivalents

The carrying amounts of note disclosures in

the Company’s cash and cash equivalents approximate fair value as of September 30, 2017 andForm 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2016, because they bear interest at market rates and had maturities of less than 90 days at the time of purchase. This fair value measurement is classified as Level 1.

Time Deposits with Banks

Fair value of time deposits is estimated by discounting cash flows of current rates paid by market participants for similar time deposits of the same or similar remaining maturities. This fair value measurement is classified as Level 2.

Securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon various sources of market pricing. Securities are classified within the fair value hierarchy after giving consideration to the activity level in the market for the security type and the observability of the inputs used to determine the fair value. When available, the Company uses quoted prices in active markets and classifies such instruments within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Level 1 securities include mutual funds. When instruments are traded in secondary markets and quoted market prices do not exist for such securities, the Company relies on prices obtained from third-party pricing vendors and classifies these instruments within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The third-party vendors use a variety of methods when pricing securities that incorporate relevant market data to arrive at an estimate of what a buyer in the marketplace would pay for a security under current market conditions. Level 2 securities include ABS and municipal bonds.

Loans

The loan balances are comprised of three types of loans. Loans made as a member bank in anon-profit, multi-financial institution CDFI serve as a catalyst for community development by offering financing for affordable, quality housing tolow- and moderate-income residents. Such loans help MBB satisfy its obligations under the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977. The fair value of these loans approximates the carrying amount at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 as it is based on recent comparable sales transactions with consideration of current market rates. This fair value measurement is classified as Level 2. The Company also invests in a small business loan product tailored to the small business market. Fair value for these loans is estimated by discounting cash flows at an imputed market rate for similar loan products with similar characteristics. This fair value measurement is classified as Level 2. The Company invests in loans to our customers in the franchise finance channel. These loans may be secured by equipment being acquired, blanket liens on personal property, or specific equipment already owned by the customer. The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rate at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit, collateral, and for the same remaining maturities. This fair value measurement is classified as Level 2.

Deposits

Deposit liabilities with no defined maturity such as MMDA deposits have a fair value equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amount). Fair value for certificates of deposits is estimated by discounting cash flows at current rates paid by the Company for similar certificates of deposit of the same or similar remaining maturities. This fair value measurement is classified as Level 2.

NOTE 1112 – Earnings Per Share

The Company’s restricted stock
awards are paidnon-forfeitable common stock dividends and thus meet
the criteria of participating
securities. Accordingly,
earnings per share (“EPS”) has been calculated using thetwo-class method, under
which earnings are
allocated to both common stock and participating securities.

Basic EPS has been computed by dividing net income or loss allocated to common
stock by the weighted average common shares
used in computing basic EPS. For the computation of basic EPS, all shares of
restricted stock have been deducted from the weighted
average shares outstanding.

Diluted EPS has been computed by dividing net income or loss allocated to common
stock by the weighted average number of
common shares used in computing basic EPS, further adjusted by including the
dilutive impact of the exercise or conversion of
common stock equivalents, such as stock options, into shares of commoncomm
on stock as if those securities were exercised or converted.

The following table provides net income and shares used in computing basic
and diluted EPS:

Regulatory Capital Requirements

Through its issuance of FDIC-insured deposits, MBB serves as the Company’s
primary funding source. Over time, MBB may offer
other products and services to the Company’s
customer base. MBB operates as a Utah state-chartered, Federal Reserve member
commercial bank, insured by the FDIC. As a state-chartered Federal Reserve
member bank, MBB is supervised by both the Federal
Reserve Bank of San Francisco and the Utah Department of Financial Institutions.

The Company and MBB are subject to capital adequacy regulations issued
jointly by the federal bank regulatory agencies. These risk-basedrisk-
based capital and leverage guidelines make regulatory capital requirements more
sensitive to differences in risk profiles among
banking organizations and consideroff-balance off
-balance sheet exposures in determining capital adequacy.
The federal bank regulatory agencies
and/or the U.S. Congress may determine to increase capital requirements
in the future due to the current economic environment.
Under the capital adequacy regulation, at least half of a banking organization’s
total capital is required to be “Tier"Tier 1 Capital”Capital" as
defined in the regulations, comprised of common equity,
retained earnings and a limited amount ofnon-cumulative perpetual
preferred stock. The remaining capital, “Tier "Tier
2 Capital," as defined in the regulations, may consist of other preferred stock, a limited
amount of term subordinated debt or a limited amount of the reserve for possible
credit losses. The regulations establish minimum
leverage ratios for banking organizations, which
are calculated by dividing Tier 1 Capital by total average
assets. Recognizing that the
risk-based capital standards principally address credit risk rather than
interest rate, liquidity, operational
or other risks, many banking
organizations are expected to maintain capital in excess
of the minimum standards.

-26-


The Company and MBB operate under the Basel III capital adequacy standards.

These standards require a minimum for Tier 1
leverage ratio of 4%
4
%, minimum Tier 1 risk-based ratio of 6%

%, and a total risk-based capital ratio of 8%

The Basel III capital adequacy
standards established a new common equity Tier

6.5
% to be considered
well-capitalized). The Company is required to have a level of
regulatory capital in excess of the regulatory minimum and to have a
capital buffer above 1.25% for 2017, 1.875% for 2018, and 2.5% for 2019 and thereafter.

minimum plus the capital conservation buffer
it may be subject to restrictions on dividends, share buybacks, and certain discretionary
payments such as bonus payments.

The

CMLA Agreement.
On March 25, 2020, MBB received notice from the FDIC that it had approved
MBB’s request to rescind certain
nonstandard conditions in the FDIC’s
order granting federal deposit insurance issued on March 20, 2007.
Furthermore, effective
March 26, 2020, the FDIC, the Company plans to provideand certain of the necessary capital to maintain MBB at “well-capitalized” status as defined by banking regulationsCompany’s
subsidiaries terminated the Capital Maintenance and as required by an agreementLiquidity
-33-
Agreement (the “CMLA Agreement”) and the Parent Company
Agreement, each entered into by and among MBB, MLC, Marlin Business Services Corp.the Company,
certain of
its subsidiaries and the FDIC in conjunction with the opening of MBB. As a result of
these actions, MBB (the “FDIC Agreement”)is no longer required
pursuant to the CMLA Agreement to maintain a total risk-based capital ratio
above
15
%. Rather, MBB must continue to maintain a
total risk-based capital ratio above
8
% to be considered adequately capitalized and above
10
% to be considered well-capitalized as
defined by banking regulations, while the Company must continue to
maintain a total risk-based capital ratio as discussed in the
immediately preceding paragraph.
The additional capital released by the termination of the CMLA Agreement is held
at MBB and is
subject to the restrictions outlined in Title
12 part 208 of the Code of Federal Regulations (12 CFR 208.5), which places limitations on
bank dividends, including restricting dividends for any year to the
earnings from the current and prior two calendar years less the
amount of cumulative dividends paid over that period.
Any dividends declared above that amount and any return of permanent
capital
would require prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors.
As of September 30, 2021, MBB has the capacity under 12
CFR 208.5 to pay dividends to the Company without explicit approval from
the Federal Reserve Board of Governors.
MBB’s Tier 1
Capital balance at September 30, 20172021 was $131.1 $
165.9
million, which met all capital requirements to which MBB is subject
and qualified MBB for “well-capitalized” status. At September 30, 2017, 2021,
the Company also exceeded its regulatory capital
requirements and was considered “well-capitalized” as defined by federal
banking regulations and as required by the FDIC
Agreement.

CECL Capital Transition.

The Company adopted CECL, or a new measurement methodology for
the allowance estimate, on January
1, 2020, as discussed further in Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies.
Rules governing the Company’s
regulatory
capital requirements give entities the option of delaying for two years the
estimated impact of CECL on regulatory capital, followed
by a three-year transition period to phase out the aggregate amount of
capital benefit, or a five-year transition in total. The Company
has elected to avail itself of the five-year transition.
For measurements of regulatory capital in 2020 and 2021, under the two year
delay the Company shall prepare: (i) a measurement of its estimated allowance
for credit losses under CECL, as reported in its balance
sheets; and (ii) a measurement of its estimated allowance under the
historical incurred loss methodology,
as prescribed by the
regulatory calculation.
Any amount of provisions under CECL that is in excess of the incurred estimate
will be an adjustment the
Company’s capital during the two-year
delay.
The three-year transition, starting in 2022, will phase in that adjustment straight
-line,
such that
25
% of the transitional amounts will be included in the first year,
and an additional
25
% over each of the next two years,
such that we will have phased in
75
% of the adjustment during year three.
At the beginning of year 6 (2025) the Company will have
completely reflected the effects of CECL in its regulatory
capital.

Prompt Corrective Action
.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991
(“FDICIA”) requires the federal
regulators to take prompt corrective action against any undercapitalized institution.
Five capital categories have been established
under federal banking regulations:
well-capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly
undercapitalized and
critically undercapitalized.
Well-capitalized institutions
significantly exceed the required minimum level for each relevant capital
measure.
Adequately capitalized institutions include depository institutions that meet
but do not significantly exceed the required
minimum level for each relevant capital measure. Undercapitalized institutions
consist of those that fail to meet the required minimum
level for one or more relevant capital measures.
Significantly undercapitalized characterizes depository institutions with capital
levels
significantly below the minimum requirements for any relevant capital
measure.
Critically undercapitalized refers to depository
institutions with minimal capital and at serious risk for government seizure.

Under certain circumstances, a well-capitalized, adequately capitalized or
undercapitalized institution may be treated as if the
institution were in the next lower capital category.
A depository institution is generally prohibited from making capital distributions,
including paying dividends, or paying management fees to a holding company
if the institution would thereafter be undercapitalized.
Institutions that are adequately capitalized but not well-capitalized
cannot accept, renew or roll over brokered deposits except with a
waiver from the FDIC and are subject to restrictions on the interest rates that can
be paid on such deposits. Undercapitalized
institutions may not accept, renew or roll over brokered deposits.

The federal bank regulatory agencies are permitted or,
in certain cases, required to take certain actions with respect to institutions
falling within one of the three undercapitalized categories.
Depending on the level of an institution’s
capital, the agency’s corrective
powers include, among other things:

prohibiting the payment of principal and interest on subordinated debt;debt

;
prohibiting the holding company from making distributions without
prior regulatory approval;

-28-


placing limits on asset growth and restrictions on activities;

placing additional restrictions on transactions with affiliates;

restricting the interest rate the institution may pay on deposits;

-35-
prohibiting the institution from accepting deposits from correspondent
banks; and

in the most severe cases, appointing a conservator or receiver for the institution.

A banking institution that is undercapitalized is required to submit a capital
restoration plan, and such a plan will not be accepted
unless, among other things, the banking institution’s
holding company guarantees the plan up to a certain specified amount.
Any such
guarantee from a depository institution’s
holding company is entitled to a priority of payment in bankruptcy.

Pursuant to the FDIC Agreement entered into in conjunction with the opening of MBB, MBB must keep its total risk-based capital ratio above 15%.

MBB’s total risk-based capital
ratio of 15.64%
21.94
% at September 30, 20172021 exceeded the threshold for “well capitalized” status under
the
applicable laws and regulations, and also exceeded the 15% minimum total risk-based capital ratio required in the FDIC Agreement.

regulations.

Dividends
.
The Federal Reserve Board has issued policy statements requiring insured banks and
bank holding companies to have an
established assessment process for maintaining capital commensurate
with their overall risk profile. Such assessment process may
affect the ability of the organizations to pay dividends.
Although generally organizations may pay dividends only
out of current
operating earnings, dividends may be paid if the distribution is prudent relative
to the organization’s
financial position and risk profile,
after consideration of current and prospective economic conditions.

The expected life for options is estimated based on their vesting and contractual terms and was determined by applying the simplified method as defined by the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”). The risk-free interest rate reflected the yield onzero-coupon Treasury securities with a term approximating the expected life of the stock options. The expected volatility was determined using historical volatilities based on historical stock prices.

Restricted Stock Awards

The Company’s restricted stock awards provide that, during the applicable vesting periods, the shares awarded may not, be soldwithout the prior written consent of Madeira Holdings, LLC, declare or transferred bypay

any dividends, other than the participant. The vesting period for restricted stock awards generally ranges from three to seven years. All awards issued contain service conditions based on the participant’s continued service with the Company and may provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control as defined in the Equity Compensation Plans.

The vesting of certain restricted shares may be accelerated to a minimum of three years based on achievement of various individual performance measures. Acceleration of expense for awards based on individual performance factors occurs when the achievement of the performance criteria is determined.

Of the total restricted stock awards granted during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, no shares may be subject to accelerated vesting based on individual performance factors; no shares have vesting contingent upon performance factors. Vesting was accelerated in 2016 and 2017 on certain awards based on the achievement of certain performance criteria determined annually, as described below.

The Company also issues restricted stock tonon-employee independent directors. These shares generally vest in seven years from the grant date or six months following the director’s termination from Board of Directors service.

During the three-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, the Company granted restricted stock awards with grant-date fair values totaling $0.3 million and $0.4, respectively. During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, the Company granted restricted stock awards with grant-date fair values totaling $1.1 million and $2.8 million, respectively.

As vesting occurs, or is deemed likely to occur, compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period and additionalpaid-in capital is increased. The Company recognized $0.3 million of compensation expense related to restricted stock for both three-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016. The Company recognized $1.5 million and $1.4 million of compensation expense related to restricted stock for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively.

Of the $1.5 million total compensation expense related to restricted stock for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, approximately $0.5 million related to accelerated vesting during the first quarter of 2017, based on achievement of certain performance criteria determined annually. Of the $1.4 million total compensation expense related to restricted stock for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016, approximately $0.4 million related to accelerated vesting during the first quarter of 2016, which was also based on the achievement of certain performance criteria determined annually.

As of September 30, 2017, there was $3.6 million of unrecognized compensation cost related tonon-vested restricted stock

scheduled to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.7 years. In the event individual performance targets are achieved, $0.7 million of the unrecognized compensation cost would accelerate to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.9 years. In addition, certain of the awards granted may result in the issuance of 30,513 additional shares of stock if achievement of certain targets is greater than 100%. The expense related to the additional shares awarded will be dependent on the Company’s stock price when the achievement level is determined.

The fair value of shares that vested during the three-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 was $0.3 million and $0.1 million, respectively. The fair value of shares that vested during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 was $2.9 million and $0.9 million, respectively.

Restricted Stock Units

Restricted stock units (“RSUs”) are granted with vesting conditions based on fulfillment of a service condition (generally three to four years from the grant date), and may also require achievement of certain operating performance criteria or achievement of certain market-based targets associated with the Company’s stock price. The market based target measurement period begins one year from the grant date and ends three years from the grant date. Expense for equity based awards with market and service conditions is recognized over the service period based on the grant-date fair value of the award.

The weighted average grant-date fair value of RSUs with market based vesting conditions granted during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 was $13.32 per unit. The weighted average grant date fair value of these market based RSUs was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model with the following assumptions:

The risk free interest rate reflected the yield on zero coupon Treasury securities with a term approximating the expected life of the RSUs. The expected volatility was based on historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. Dividend yield was assumed at zero as the grant assumes dividends distributed during the performance period are reinvested. When valuing the grant, we have assumed a dividend yield of zero, which is mathematically equivalent to reinvestingregular quarterly cash dividends in the issuing entity.

There were no RSUs granted during the three-month period ended September 30, 2017. During the three-month period ended September 30, 2016, the Company granted RSUs with grant-date fair values totaling $1.1 million. During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, the Company granted RSUs with grant-date fair values totaling $2.4 million and $1.1 million, respectively. The Company recognized $0.3 million and less than $0.1 million of compensation expense relatedan amount not to RSUs for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively. The Company recognized $0.6 million and less than $0.1 million of compensation expense related to RSUs for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively. As of September 30, 2017, there was $2.8 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to RSUs scheduled to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.4 years based on the most probable performance assumptions. In the event maximum performance targets are achieved, an additional $1.5 million of compensation cost would be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.3 years and may result in the conversion of 57,098 additional units into shares of common stock.

“Marlin,” “Registrant,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to Marlin Business Services Corp.
and its

O
VERVIEW
Founded in 1997, we are a nationwide provider of credit products and services to
small and mid-sized businesses. The products and
services we provide to our customers include loans and leases for the acquisition
of commercial equipment (including Commercial
Vehicle
Group (“CVG”) assets) and working capital loansloans. In May 2000, we established AssuranceOne,
Ltd., a Bermuda-based,
wholly-owned captive insurance subsidiary (“Assurance One”), which
enables us to reinsure the property insurance coverage for the
equipment financed by Marlin Leasing Corporation (“MLC”) and insurance products. Marlin Business Bank
(“MBB”) for our small business customers.
In 2008, we opened MBB, a commercial bank chartered by the State of Utah
and a member of the Federal Reserve System. MBB
serves as the Company’s primary
funding source through its issuance of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(“FDIC”)-insured
deposits.
In January 2017, we completed the acquisition of Horizon Keystone Financial,
an equipment leasing company which
identifies and sources lease and loan contracts for investor partners for a fee, and
in September 2018, we completed the acquisition of
Fleet Financing Resources, a company specializing in the leasing and
financing of both new and used commercial vehicles, with an
emphasis on livery equipment and other types of commercial vehicles used
by small businesses.
We access our end
user customers primarily through origination sources consisting of independent
commercial equipment dealers,
various national account programs, through direct solicitation of our
end user customers and through relationships with select lease
and loan brokers. We
use both a telephonic direct sales model and, for strategic larger accounts,
outside sales executives to market to
-37-
our origination sources and end user customers. Through these origination
sources, we are able to cost-effectively access end user
customers while also helping our origination sources obtain financing
for their customers.

Our leases are fixed-rate transactions with terms generally ranging from 36 to 60 months. At September 30, 2017, our lease portfolio consisted of 90,070 accounts with an average original term of 48 months and average original transaction size of approximately $16,000.

MBB offers a flexible loan program called Funding Stream. Funding Stream is tailored to the small business market to provide customers a convenient, hassle free alternative to traditional lenders and access to capital to help grow their businesses. As of September 30, 2017, the Company had approximately $26.4 million, not including the allowance for credit losses allocated to loans of $1.1 million, of small business loans on the balance sheet. Generally, these loans range from $5,000 to $150,000, have flexible 6 to 24 month terms, and have automated daily, weekly, and monthly payback. Small business owners can apply online, in ten minutes or less, onwww.Fundingstream.com. Approved borrowers can receive funds in as little as two days.

At September 30, 2017, we had $1,013.0 million in total assets. Our assets are substantially comprised of our net investment in leases and loans which totaled $886.4 million at September 30, 2017.

-35-


Our revenue consists of interest and fees from our leases and loans and, to a lesser extent, income from our property insurance program and other fee income. Our expenses consist of interest expense and other expenses, which include salaries and benefits and other general and administrative expenses. As a credit lender, our earnings are also impacted by credit losses. For the quarter ended September 30, 2017, our annualized net credit losses were 1.73% of our average total finance receivables. We establish reserves for credit losses which require us to estimate inherent losses in our portfolio as of the reporting date. In the third quarter of 2017 we booked an additional reserve for credit losses of $0.5 million based on our assessment of our lease portfolio’s exposure to those geographic areas most impacted by Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma in August 2017 and September 2017, respectively.

Our leases are classified under U.S. GAAP as direct financing leases, and we recognize interest income over the term of the lease. Direct financing leases transfer substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership to the equipment lessee. Our net investment in direct finance leases is included in our consolidated financial statements in “net investment in leases and loans.” Net investment in direct financing leases consists of the sum of total minimum lease payments receivable and the estimated residual value of leased equipment, less unearned lease income. Unearned lease income consists of the excess of the total future minimum lease payments receivable plus the estimated residual value expected to be realized at the end of the lease term plus deferred net initial direct costs and fees less the cost of the related equipment. Approximately 70% of our lease portfolio at September 30, 2017 amortizes over the lease term to a $1 residual value. For the remainder of the portfolio, we must estimate end of term residual values for the leased assets. Failure to correctly estimate residual values could result in losses being realized on the disposition of the equipment at the end of the lease term.

We fund

our business primarily through the issuance of fixed and variable-rate FDIC-insured
deposits and money market demand
accounts raised nationally by MBB, opened sales of pools of leases or loans,
as well as, from time to time, fixed-rate asset backed
securitization transactions.

On August 4, 2021, our shareholders approved the adoption of the Merger
Agreement. The
Merger remains subject to, in addition to various other
customary closing conditions, governmental and regulatory approvals and
completion of the De-banking.
We anticipate that FDIC-insured deposits issued by MBB will continue
to operate the business and are focused on taking necessary actions to ensure we meet
all closing conditions, including
completion of the De-banking.
See “Part I—Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Strategies—"We
may fail to consummate the proposed Merger Agreement,
and uncertainties related to the consummation of the transaction may have
a material adverse effect on our business, financial position,
results of operations and cash flows, and negatively impact the price
of our Common stock." in this Form 10-Q.
Business Update
In 2020, we faced unprecedented operating challenges and macro-economic
uncertainty from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Our initial
focus from the beginning of the COVID-19 crisis in the first quarter of 2020
was working with existing customers to protect the value
of our portfolio and limiting the erosion of shareholder capital.
Early in response to the onset of the pandemic, we temporarily tightened underwriting
standards for areas of elevated risk and we
continue to representupdate such risk assessments based on current conditions.
As we have seen economic conditions improve and continued
excellent portfolio performance, our primary sourceunderwriting criteria and standards
have been updated accordingly.
Most of funds for the foreseeable future. In the future MBB may electour employees continue to offer other products and serviceswork remotely but we have not experienced
any significant interruption to our operations. We
began to return some of our employees back to the Company’s customer base. As workplace in May 2021 based
upon business needs and employee interest.
We

early 2022; however, we will continually re-
evaluate our return to office approach as we monitor the
trends in COVID-19 cases across the country.
Our third quarter results of net income of $5.5 million, or $0.45 earnings
per share, were primarily driven by botha $1.2 million provision
for credit losses benefit due to continued positive portfolio
performance coupled with expense management benefits.
Our total
originations in the Federal Reserve Bankthird quarter 2021 were $98.6 million, which were
16% above total origination in the same quarter as last year,
but
2% below the prior quarter.
Additionally, total originations
in the quarter were 46% below the pre-pandemic levels of San Francisco 2019.
Economic factors, including but not limited to employment conditions
and global supply chain disruptions, have affected our
origination volumes; however, we are
proactively increasing staffing in our sales organization
in order to increase sales activities and
origination momentum.

Critical Accounting Policies

Goodwill and Intangible Assets. The Company tests for impairment of goodwill at least annually and more frequently as circumstances warrant in accordance with applicable accounting guidance. Accounting guidance allows$1.4 million for the testing of goodwill for impairment using both qualitative and quantitative factors. Impairment of goodwill is recognized only if the carrying amount of the Company, including goodwill, exceeds the fair value of the Company. The amount of the impairment loss would be equal to the excess carrying value of the goodwill over the implied fair value of the Company goodwill.

Currently, the Company does not have any intangible assets with indefinite useful lives.

Intangible assets that are not deemed to have an indefinite useful life are amortized over their estimated useful lives. The carrying amounts of definite lived intangible assets are regularly reviewed for indicators of impairment in accordance with applicable accounting guidance. Impairment is recognized only if the carrying amount of the intangible asset is in excess of its undiscounted projected cash flows. The impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying amount and the estimated fair value of the asset.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of the Three-Month Periods Ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016

Net income. Net income of $3.3 million was reported for the three-month period ended September 30, 2017, resulting in diluted EPS of $0.26, compared to net income of $4.3 million and diluted EPS of $0.35 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2016. During the quarter ended September 30, 2017, the Company increased its credit reserves and insurance reserves for estimated inherent losses by an additional $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively, based on its initial assessments of exposure to geographic areas significantly impacted by Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma. The impact of this increase in reserves was a reduction of approximately $0.6 million in net income and $0.05 in net income per diluted share for the quarter ended September 30, 2017.

Return on average assets was 1.31% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2017, compared to a return of 2.05% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2016. Return on average equity was 8.01% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2017, compared to a return of 11.10% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2016.

2020.

Overall, our average net investment in total finance receivables for the
three-month period ended September 30, 2017 increased 17.8% 2021 decreased
13.1%
to $862.7$803.8 million, compared to $732.3$924.6 million for the three-month period
ended September 30, 2020, which has caused a
corresponding reduction in interest and fee income.
-38-
Equipment Finance receivables delinquent over 30 days were
0.76% at September 30, 2021, down 137 basis points from 2.13% at
September 30, 2020 and down 83 basis points from 1.59% at December 31,
2020. Working Capital receivables
over 15 days
delinquent were 1.49% at September 30, 2021, down 244 basis points from
3.93% at September 30, 2020 and down 351 basis point
from 5.00% at December 31, 2020.
Annualized total net charge-offs for the third quarter
of 2021 were 0.59% of average total finance
receivables as compared to 4.54% for the same period in 2020.
For the three-months ended September 30, 2021 we recognized a provision
benefit of $1.2 million as compared to a provision net
expense of $7.2 million for the same period in 2020. The provision benefit
in the third quarter of 2021 was primarily due to positive
changes in the outlook of macroeconomic assumptions to which the reserve
is correlated as well as positive trends in portfolio
performance. Allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total finance
receivables was 3.35%
at September 30, 2021 compared with
6.75%
at September 30, 2020.

Comparison of the Three-Month Periods Ended September

Net income.
Net income of $5.5 million was reported for the three-month period
ended September 30, 2021, resulting in diluted EPS per share of
$0.45,
compared to net income of $2.7 million and diluted loss per share of $0.23 for
the three-month period ended September 30,
2020.
This $2.8 million increase in Net income was primarily driven by:
-
$8.4 million decrease in Provision for credit losses, driven primarily by an
improvement in economic conditions during the
past 12 months
;
-
$3.4 million decrease in net interest and fee income driven primarily
by a decline in the size of our finance receivable
portfolio;
-
$2.1 million decrease in interest expense due to a decline in the deposit balance
and rates, as well as continuing reduction of
long-term debt;
-
$1.5 million increase in general and administrative, primarily driven
by a prior year $1.4 million reduction to the fair value of
the contingent consideration earn out liability related to our 2018 acquisition
of the FFR business.

Total finance receivables include net investment in leases and loans.
For the calculations above, the effects of (i) the allowance for credit losses
and (ii) initial direct costs and fees deferred are excluded.
Net interest and fee income decreased $3.4 million, or 16.6%, to $17.1
million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 from
$20.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020.
The annualized net interest and fee margin decreased
36 basis points to
8.51% in the three-month period ended September 30, 2021 from
8.87% for the corresponding period in 2020.
Interest income, net of amortized initial direct costs and fees, was $17.7
million and $22.4 million for the three-month periods ended
September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively.
Average total
finance receivables decreased $120.8 million, or 13.1%, to
$803.8 million at September 30, 2021 from $924.6 million at September
30, 2020. The decrease in average total finance receivables
was primarily due to lower origination volume along with the customary
loan repayments and charge-offs. The average yield
on the
portfolio decreased 90 basis points to 8.79% from 9.69% in the same quarter
one year ago. Higher yielding working capital portfolio
made up a smaller percentage of the total portfolio during the third quarter
of 2021 compared to the same period one year ago.
The
weighted average implicit interest rate on new finance receivables originated
increased 150 basis points to 10.83% for the three-month
period ended September 30, 2021 compared to 9.33% for the three-month
period ended September 30, 2020. That increase was
primarily driven by a shift in the mix of originations as higher-yield
Working Capital originations
comprised $17.0 million of our
originations for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared
to $1.4 million in 2020. As the economy continues to recover
from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic the company is looking to grow originations.
During the third quarter of 2021, the
company originated $98.6 million of total originations compared
to $67.1 million in the same period one year ago.
Additionally,
equipment finance approval percentage in the third quarter of 2021
was 50% which was up 10 basis points compared to the third
quarter of 2020.
Fee income was $2.0 million and $2.8 million for the three-month periods
ended September 30, 2021 and September
30, 2020,
respectively,
and included approximately $1.2 million and $1.7 million in late fee income for
the three-month periods ended
September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively.
Late fees remained the largest component of fee income at 0.60% as an
annualized percentage of average total finance receivables for the three-month
period ended September 30, 2021, compared to 0.74%
for the three-month period ended September 30, 2020. Fee income
also included approximately $0.8 million and $1.1 million of early
buyout income for the three-month periods ended September 30,
2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively.
Early buyout income is
driven by customer behavior, in which
increased levels of this activity and related income have been recorded during the course
of the
pandemic.
-44-
Interest expense decreased $2.1 million to $2.6 million for the three-month
period ended September 30, 2021 from $4.7 million for the
corresponding period in 2020, primarily due to a decrease of $1.8
million on lower deposit balances
and rates. Additionally, there
was
a decrease of $0.3 million due to the continuing reduction of long-term debt.
Interest expense, as an annualized percentage of average
total finance receivables, decreased 74 basis points to 1.29% for the three
-month period ended September 30, 2021, from 2.03% for
the corresponding period in 2020. The average balance of deposits was $720.2
million and $835.6 million for the three-month periods
ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively.
For the three-month period ended September 30, 2021, average term
securitization borrowings outstanding were $14.6 million at a
weighted average coupon of 4.93%. For the three-month period ended
September 30, 2020, average term securitization borrowings
outstanding were $45.6 million at a weighted average coupon of 4.45%.
Our wholly-owned subsidiary,
MBB, serves as our primary funding source. MBB raises fixed-rate and variable
-rate FDIC-insured
deposits via the brokered certificates of deposit market, on a direct basis, and
through the brokered MMDA Product. At September 30,
2021,
brokered certificates of deposit represented approximately 70% of
total deposits, while approximately 23% of total deposits
were obtained from direct channels, and 7% were in the brokered
MMDA Product.
Gain on Sale of Leases and Loans.
There were no asset sales for the three-month period ended September
30, 2021 as we retained all
of our origination volume on our balance sheet. There were $4.3
million of asset sales for the three-month period ended September 30,
2020 for a $0.1 million gain on sale of lease and loans.
Our sales execution decisions, including the timing, volume and frequency
of such sales, depend on many factors including our
origination volumes, the characteristics of our contracts versus market
requirements, our current assessment of our balance sheet
composition and capital levels, and current market conditions, among other
factors.
There can be no assurance that we can execute
sales based on our prior experience or on terms that are acceptable to us.
Insurance premiums written and earned.
Insurance premiums written declined to $1.9 million for the three-month period ended
September 30, 2021, compared to $2.1 million for the three-month period
ended September 30, 2020 as the overall portfolio
contracted.
Other income.
Other income was $1.7 million and $2.0 million for the three-month
periods ended September 30, 2021 and September

General and administrative expense increased $1.5 million, or 31.6%,
to $6.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021
from $4.7 million for the corresponding period in 2020 The primary
driver of the change was a $1.4 million reduction in 2020 to the
fair value of the contingent consideration earn out liability related to our 2018
acquisition of the FFR business, driven by a forecasted
decrease in projected volumes, which decreased
the liability for estimated payments. General and administrative expense as an
annualized percentage of average total finance receivables was 3.09%
for the three-month period ended September 30, 2021,
compared to 2.48% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2020.
Provision for income taxes.
Income tax expense of $2.0 million was recorded for the three-month period ended
September 30, 2021,
compared to $0.5 million for the three-month period ended September
30, 2016. This change2020. Our effective tax rate was primarily due to origination volume continuing to exceed lease repayments. Theend-of-period net investment in total finance receivables at September 30, 2017 was $886.4 million, an increase of $89.7 million, or 11.3%, from $796.7 million at December 31, 2016.

Net income/loss.
Net income of $22.6 million was reported for the correspondingnine-month period
ended September 30, 2021,
resulting in 2016,diluted EPS of $1.86,
compared to net loss of $15.0 million and diluted loss per share of $1.27
for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020.

$65.2 million decrease in Provision for credit losses, primarily driven
primarily by an improvement in economic conditions
during the past 12 months
;
-
$20.7 million decrease in interest and fee income driven primarily by
a decline in the size of our finance receivable portfolio;
-
$7.1 million decrease in interest expense due to increased delinquency and charge-offs and to a lesser extent growthdecline in the portfolio, deposit balance
and an additional $0.5rates, as well as continuing reduction of
long-term debt;
-
$2.4 million for estimated inherent credit losses fromdecrease in gain on leases and loans sold;
-
6.8 million decrease in Non-interest expense due to the areas hardest hit by Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma.

primarily due to the $6.7

million goodwill impairment that was
recorded in the first quarter of 2020;
-
$16.8 million increase in Income tax expense.

Effective third quarter 2016, on a prospective basis, insurance policy fees were recorded to “Other income” and deferred acquisition costs, premium taxes and provision for losses and loss adjustment expenses were recorded in the “General and administrative” expense line.

Other income. Other income was $1.8 million and $1.1 million for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively. Other income primarily includes various administrative transaction fees and fees received from referral of leases to third parties, and gain on sale of leases and servicing fee income, recognized as earned. Selected major components of other income for the three-month period ended September 30, 2017 included $0.5 million of referral income, $0.5 million of insurance policy fees, and $0.5 million gain on the sale of leases and servicing fee income. In comparison, selected major components of other income for the three-month period ended September 30, 2016 included $0.1 million of referral income, $0.4 million of insurance policy fees, and $0.2 million gain on the sale of leases and servicing fee income.

Salaries and benefits expense.Salaries and benefits expense increased $1.5 million, or 19.2%, to $9.3 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2017 from $7.8 million for the corresponding period in 2016. The increase was primarily due to an increase in total personnel and increased compensation related to increased origination volume. Salaries and benefits expense, as an annualized percentage of average total finance receivables, was 4.31% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2017 compared with 4.27% for the corresponding period in 2016. Total personnel increased to 331 at September 30, 2017 from 318 at September 30, 2016.

General and administrative expense.General and administrative expense increased $1.4 million, or 28.0%, to $6.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $5.0 million for the corresponding period in 2016. General and administrative expense as an annualized

percentage of average total finance receivables was 2.97% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2017, compared to 2.72% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2016. Selected major components of general and administrative expense for the three-month period ended September 30, 2017 included $0.9 million of premises and occupancy expense, $0.4 million of audit and tax compliance expense, $0.8 million of data processing expense, $0.4 million of marketing expense, $0.2 million of amortization expense, $0.1 million of legal fee expense, and $0.8 million of insurance-related expenses which include $0.4 million related to Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma. In prior quarters, insurance-related expenses were recognized net in “Insurance premiums written and earned”. In comparison, selected major components of general and administrative expense for the three-month period ended September 30, 2016 included $0.8 million of premises and occupancy expense, $0.3 million of audit and tax compliance expense, $0.6 million of data processing expense, and $0.5 million of marketing expense, and $0.3 million of insurance-related expenses which were recognized net in “Insurance premiums written and earned” in prior quarters.

Financing-related costs.Financing-related costs primarily represent bank commitment fees paid to our financing sources on the unused portion of loan facilities.

There were no financing-related costs for the three-month period ended September 30, 2017, compared to less than $0.1 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2016.

Provision for credit losses.The provision for credit losses increased $2.6 million, or 83.9%, to $5.7 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2017 from $3.1 million for the corresponding period in 2016. Lease portfolio losses tend to follow patterns based on the mix of origination vintages comprising the portfolio. The anticipated credit losses from the inception of a particular lease origination vintage tocharge-off generally follow a pattern of lower losses for the first few months, followed by increased losses in subsequent months, then lower losses during the later periods of the lease term. Therefore, the seasoning, or mix of origination vintages, of the portfolio affects the timing and amount of anticipated probable and estimable credit losses.

The increase in our provision for credit losses resulted from increased delinquency and charge-offs and to a lesser extent growth in the portfolio, and an additional $0.5 million for estimated inherent losses from the areas hardest hit by Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma. This additional reserve is an estimate based on information currently available which includes information obtained from contacting affected customers.

Net charge-offs were $3.7 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2017, compared to $2.5 million for the corresponding period in 2016. The increase incharge-off rate is primarily due to the ongoing seasoning of the portfolio as reflected in the mix of origination vintages and the mix of credit profiles. Net charge-offs as an annualized percentage of average total finance receivables increased to 1.73% during the three-month period ended September 30, 2017, from 1.36% for the corresponding period in 2016. The allowance for credit losses increased to approximately $14.5 million at September 30, 2017, an increase of $3.6 million from $10.9 million at December 31, 2016.

Additional information regarding asset quality is included herein in the section “Finance Receivables and Asset Quality.”

Provision for income taxes.Income tax expense of $2.0 million and $3.0 million was recorded for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively. Our effective tax rate, which is a combination of federal and state income tax rates, was approximately 38.3% and 41.1% for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively.

Comparison of the Nine-Month Periods Ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016

Net income. Net income of $9.4 million was reportedsales for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, resulting in diluted EPS

2021 as we retained all
of $0.75, compared to net incomeour origination volume on our balance sheet. There were $28.3
million of $12.5 million and diluted EPS of $1.00asset sales for the nine-month period ended September
30, 2016. The decrease is primarily due2020 for a $2.4 million gain on sale of lease and loans.
Our sales execution decisions, including the timing, volume and frequency
of such sales, depend on many factors including our
origination volumes, the characteristics of our contracts versus market
requirements, our current assessment of our balance sheet
composition and capital levels, and current market conditions, among
other factors.
In the current economy resulting from the
COVID-19 pandemic, we may have difficulty accessing
the capital market and may find decreased interest and ability of
counterparties to a $4.2 million estimated charge in first quarter 2017 for restitution expense in connection with MBB’s regulatory examination preliminary findings (See Note 8, Commitmentspurchase our contracts, or we may be unable to negotiate

During the nine-months ended September 30, 2017, the Company increased its credit reserves and insurance reserves for estimated inherent losses by an additional $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively, based on its initial assessments of exposure to geographic areas significantly impacted by Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma. The impact of this increase in reserves was a reduction of approximately $0.6 million in net income and $0.05 in net income per diluted share for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017.

Approval rates declined by 3% to 56% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, compared to 59% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016.

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 compared to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016, net interest and fee income increased $6.9 million, or 11.4%, primarily due to a $10.0 million increase in interest income, partially offset by a $2.4 million increase in interest expense. The provision for credit losses increased $5.0 million, or 56.2%, to $13.9$6.6 million for the nine-month period

ended September 30, 2017 from $8.9 million for2020 as the corresponding period in 2016, due to increased delinquency and charge-offs and to a lesser extent growth in theoverall portfolio and an additional $0.5 million for estimated inherent credit losses from the areas hardest hit by Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma..

Net interest and fee income increased $6.9 million, or 11.4%, to $67.6 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 from $60.7 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016. The annualized net interest and fee margin decreased 65 basis points to 10.81% in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 from 11.46% for the corresponding period in 2016.

Interest income, net of amortized initial direct costs and fees, increased $10.0 million, or 18.3%, to $64.5 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 from $54.5 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016. The increase in interestOther income was principally due to an increase in average yield of one basis point partially offset by a 17.8% increase in average total finance receivables, which increased $125.8 million to $831.7 million for the nine-months ended September 30, 2017 from $705.9 million for the nine-months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in average total finance receivables was primarily due to origination volume continuing to exceed lease repayments. The average yield on the portfolio increased, due to higher yields on the new leases compared to the yields on the leases repaying. The weighted average implicit interest rate on new finance receivables originated increased 40 basis points to 12.13% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, compared to 11.73% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016.

Fee income decreased $0.6 million to $11.1 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, compared to $11.7 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016. Fee income included approximately $2.7 million of net residual income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 and $3.2 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016.

Fee income also included approximately $6.6 million in late fee income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, which decreased 5.7% from $7.0 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016.

entire $6.7 million
balance in the nine-months ended September 30, 2017, compared to 2.65% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016. Selected major components of general and administrative expense for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 included $2.6 million of premises and occupancy expense, $1.2 million of audit and tax compliance expense, $2.4 million of data processing expense, $1.4 million of marketing expense, $0.6 million of amortization expense, $0.9 million of legal fee expense, a $4.2 million estimated charge for restitution expense in connection with MBB’s regulatory examination preliminary findings (See Note 8, Commitments and Contingencies, in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements), and $1.5 million of insurance-related expenses which include $0.4 million related to Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma. In prior periods, insurance-related expenses were recognized net in “Insurance premiums written and earned”. In comparison, selected major components of general and administrative expense for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016 included $2.5 million of premises and occupancy expense, $1.0 million of audit and tax compliance expense, $1.7 million of data processing expense, and $1.5 million of marketing expense, and $0.3 million of insurance-related expenses which were recognized net in “Insurance premiums written and earned” in prior quarters.

Financing-related costs.Financing-related costs primarily represent bank commitment fees paid to our financing sources on the unused portion of loan facilities. There were no financing-related costs for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, compared to $0.1 million for the corresponding period in 2016..

Provision for credit losses.The provision for credit losses increased $5.0 million, or 56.2%, to $13.9 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 from $8.9 million for the corresponding period in 2016. Lease portfolio losses tend to follow patterns based on the mix of origination vintages comprising the portfolio. The anticipated credit losses from the inception of a particular lease origination vintage tocharge-off generally follow a pattern of lower losses for the first few months, followed by increased losses in subsequent months, then lower losses during the later periods of the lease term. Therefore, the seasoning, or mix of origination vintages, of the portfolio affects the timing and amount of anticipated probable and estimable credit losses.

The increase in our provision for credit losses resulted from increased delinquency and charge-offs and to a lesser extent growth in the portfolio, and an additional $0.5 million for estimated inherent losses from the areas hardest hit by Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma. This additional reserve is an estimate based on information currently available which includes information obtained from contacting affected customers.

Net charge-offs were $10.3 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, compared to $7.2 million for the corresponding period in 2016. The increase incharge-off rate is primarily due to the ongoing seasoning of the portfolio as reflected in the mix of origination vintages and the mix of credit profiles. Net charge-offs as an annualized percentage of average total finance receivables increased to 1.65% during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, from 1.36% for the corresponding period in 2016. The allowance for credit losses increased to approximately $14.5 million at September 30, 2017, an increase of $3.6 million from $10.9 million at December 31, 2016.

Provision for income taxes.
Income tax expense of $5.3$8.0 million was recorded for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2017, 2021,
compared to an expenseincome tax benefit of $8.1$8.3 million for the corresponding period in 2016. Our effective tax rate, which is a combination of federal and state income tax rates, was approximately 35.9% for the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2017, compared to 39.4% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016.The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in pretax income and, to a lesser extent, excess tax benefits pertaining to share-based payment arrangements that were recognized in income tax expense instead ofadditional-paid-in-capital because of the January 1, 2017 adoption of ASU2016-09.

(5)Represents interest which was recognized during the period onnon-accrual loans and leases, prior tonon-accrual status.
(6)Represents interest which would have been recorded onnon-accrual loans and leases had they performed in accordance with their contractual terms during the period.

Net investments in finance receivables are generallycharged-off when they are contractually past due for 120 days or more. Income recognition is discontinued on leases or loans when a default on monthly payment exists for a period of 90 days or more. Income recognition resumes when a lease or loan becomes less than 90 days delinquent.

Funding Stream loans are generally placed in non-accrual status when they are 30 days past due. The loan is removed from non-accrual status once sufficient payments are made to bring the loan current and reviewed by management.

In the third quarter of 2017 we booked additional reserves for estimated inherent credit losses of $0.5 million based on our assessment of information available at the time on our lease portfolio’s exposure to those geographic areas most impacted by Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma in August 2017 and September 2017, respectively. Marlin estimates that it has approximately $60.2 million in net investment in leases outstanding in the areas most affected by Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma. The additional Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma reserve is the primary cause of the increase in the allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total finance receivables to increase to 1.64% at September 30, 2017 from 1.38% at December 31, 2016.

Net charge-offs for the three months ended September 30, 2017 were $3.7 million (1.73% of average total finance receivables on an annualized basis), compared to $3.4 million (1.65% of average total finance receivables on an annualized basis) for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and $2.5 million (1.36% of average total finance receivables on an annualized basis) for the three months ended September 30, 2016. Lease portfolio losses tend to follow patterns based on the mix of origination vintages comprising the portfolio. The timing of credit losses from the inception of a particular lease origination vintage tocharge-off generally follows a pattern of lower losses for the first few months, followed by increased losses in subsequent months, then lower losses during the later periods of the lease term. Therefore, the seasoning, or mix of origination vintages, of the portfolio affects the timing and amount of charge-offs.

Net charge-offs for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 were $10.3 million (1.65% of average total finance receivables on an annualized basis), compared to $7.2 million (1.36% of average total finance receivables on an annualized basis) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016. The increase incharge-off rate is partially due to the ongoing seasoning of the portfolio as reflected in the mix of origination vintages and the mix of credit profiles, as discussed above.

Delinquent accounts 60 days or more past due (as a percentage of minimum lease payments receivable for leases and as a percentage of principal outstanding for loans) were 0.61% at September 30, 2017 and 0.46% at December 31, 2016, compared to 0.45% at September 30, 2016.

In accordance with the Contingencies and Receivables Topics of the FASB ASC, we maintain an allowance for credit losses at an amount sufficient to absorb losses inherent in our existing lease and loan portfolios as of the reporting dates based on our projection of probable net credit losses. The factors and trends discussed above were included in the Company’s analysis to determine its allowance for credit losses. (See “Critical Accounting Policies.”)

RESIDUAL PERFORMANCE

Our leases offer our end user customers the option to own the equipment at lease expiration. As of September 30, 2017, approximately 70% of our leases were one dollar purchase option leases, 29% were fair market value leases and less than 1% were fixed purchase option leases, the latter of which typically contain anend-of-term purchase option equal to 10% of the original equipment cost. As of September 30, 2017, there were $26.8 million of residual assets retained on our Consolidated Balance Sheet, of which $22.7 million, or 84.4%, were related to copiers. As of December 31, 2016, there were $26.8 million of residual assets retained on our Consolidated Balance Sheet, of which $22.5 million, or 83.8%, were related to copiers. No other group of equipment represented more than 10% of equipment residuals as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. Improvements in technology and other market changes, particularly in copiers, could adversely impact our ability to realize the recorded residual values of this equipment.

-54-


Fee income included approximately $0.9 million and $1.1 million of net residual income for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively. Fee income included approximately $2.7 million and $3.2 million of net residual income for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively. Net residual income includes income from lease renewals and gains and losses on the realization of residual values of leased equipment disposed at the end of term as further described below.

Our leases generally include renewal provisions and many leases continue beyond their initial contractual term. Based on the Company’s experience, the amount of ultimate realization of the residual value tends to relate more to the customer’s election at the end of the lease term to enter into a renewal period, purchase the leased equipment or return the leased equipment than it does to the equipment type. We consider renewal income a component of residual performance. Renewal income net of depreciation totaled approximately $1.2 million and $1.3 million for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively. Renewal income net of depreciation totaled approximately $3.5 million and $3.8 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively.

For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, the net loss on residual values disposed at end of term totaled $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the net loss on residual values disposed at end of term totaled $0.8 million, compared to a net loss of $0.6 million2021 our effective

tax rate was 26.2% and for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The primary driver of the changes2020,
our effective tax rate was 35.6%, driven by a shift$3.2 million discrete benefit,
resulting from certain provisions in the mix Coronavirus Aid,
Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) that allow for a remeasurement
of the amounts, types and age of equipment disposed at the end of the applicable lease term. Historically, our federal net residual income has exceeded 100% of the residual recorded on such leases. Management performs periodic reviews of the estimated residual values and historical realization statistics no less frequently than quarterly. There was no impairment recognized on estimated residual values during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively.

for our financing needs (including our deposits and borrowings,long term deposits), to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with our financing transactions, to fund
infrastructure and technology investment, to pay dividends and to pay administrative

As a result of the uncertainties surrounding the actual and potential impacts of COVID-19
on our business and financial condition, in
the first quarter of 2020 we raised additional liquidity through the issuance of
FDIC-insured deposits and we increased our borrowing
capacity at the Federal Reserve Discount Window.
We are dependent
upon the availability of financing from a variety of funding sources to satisfy these liquidity
needs. Historically, we
have relied upon fourfive principal types of external funding sources for
our operations:

FDIC-insured deposits issued by our wholly-owned subsidiary,
MBB;

borrowings under various bank facilities;

financing of leases and loans in various warehouse facilities (all of which
have since been repaid in full); and

financing of leases through term note securitizations (allsecuritizations; and

Bank Capital and Regulatory Oversight

On January 13, 2009, we became a bank holding company by order of the Federal Reserve Board and

We are subject
to regulation under the Bank Holding Company Act. AllAct and we and all of our subsidiaries may
be subject to examination
by the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank even if
not otherwise regulated by the Federal Reserve Board. On September 15, 2010, the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia confirmed the effectiveness of our election to become a financial holding company (while remaining a bank holding company) pursuant to Sections 4(k)
We and (l) of the Bank Holding Company Act and Section 225.82 of the Federal Reserve Board’s Regulation Y. Such election permits us to engage in activities that
MBB are financial in nature or incidental to a financial activity, including the maintenance and expansion of our reinsurance activities conducted through our wholly-owned subsidiary, AssuranceOne.

MBB is also subject to comprehensive federal and state regulations dealing

with a wide variety of subjects, including minimum
capital standards, reserve requirements, terms on which a bank
may engage in transactions with its affiliates, restrictions as to dividend
payments and numerous other aspects of its operations.
These regulations generally have been adopted to protect depositors and
creditors rather than shareholders.

There are a number of restrictions on bank holding companies that are designed to minimize potential loss to depositors and the FDIC insurance funds. If an FDIC-insured depository subsidiary is “undercapitalized,” the bank holding company is required to ensure (subject to certain limits) the subsidiary’s compliance with the terms of any capital restoration plan filed with its appropriate banking agency. Also, a bank holding company is required to serve as a source of financial strength to its depository institution subsidiaries and to commit resources to support such institutions in circumstances where it might not do so absent such policy. Under the Bank Holding Company Act, the Federal Reserve Board has the authority to require a bank holding company to terminate any activity or to relinquish control of anon-bank subsidiary upon the Federal Reserve Board’s determination that such activity or control constitutes a serious risk to the financial soundness and stability of a depository institution subsidiary of the bank holding company.

Capital Adequacy. The Company and MBB operate under the Basel III capital adequacy standards adopted by the federal bank regulatory agencies effective on January 1, 2015. Under the risk-based capital requirements applicable to them, bank holding companies must maintain a ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets (including the asset equivalent of certainoff-balance sheet activities such as acceptances and letters of credit) of not less than 8% (10% in order to be considered “well-capitalized”). The requirements include a 6% minimum Tier 1 risk-based ratio (8% to be considered well-capitalized). Tier 1 Capital consists of common stock, related surplus, retained earnings, qualifying perpetual preferred stock and minority interests in the equity accounts of certain consolidated subsidiaries, after deducting goodwill and certain other intangibles. The remainder of total capital (“Tier 2 Capital”) may consist of certain perpetual debt securities, mandatory convertible debt securities, hybrid capital instruments and limited amounts of subordinated debt, qualifying preferred stock, allowance for credit losses on loans and leases, allowance for credit losses onoff-balance-sheet credit exposures and unrealized gains on equity securities.

The capital standards require a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4%. The capital requirements also require a common equity Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio with a required minimum of 4.5% (6.5% to be considered well-capitalized). The Federal Reserve Board’s guidelines also provide that bank holding companies experiencing internal growth or making acquisitions may be expected to maintain capital positions substantially above the minimum supervisory levels without significant reliance on intangible assets. Furthermore, the guidelines indicate that the Federal Reserve Board will continue to consider a “tangible tier 1 leverage ratio” (i.e., after deducting all intangibles) in evaluating proposals for expansion or new activities. MBB is subject to similar capital standards.

The Company is required to have a level of regulatory capital in excess of the regulatory minimum and to have a capital buffer above 1.25% for 2017, 1.875% for 2018, and 2.5% for 2019 and thereafter. If a banking organization does not maintain capital above the minimum plus the capital conservation buffer it may be subject to restrictions on dividends, share buybacks, and certain discretionary payments such as bonus payments.

At September 30, 2017,2021, Marlin Business Service Corp and MBB’s
Tier 1 leverage ratio, common equity
Tier 1 risk-based ratio, Tier

MARKET INTEREST RATE
RISK AND SENSITIVITY

Market risk is the risk of losses arising from changes in values of financial instruments.
We engage
in transactions in the normal
course of business that expose us to market risks. We
attempt to mitigate such risks through prudent management practices and
strategies such as attempting to match the expected cash flows of our assets and
liabilities.

-55-
We are exposed
to market risks associated with changes in interest rates and our earnings may fluctuate
with changes in interest rates.
The lease and loan assets we originate are almost entirely fixed-rate. Accordingly,
we generally seek to finance these assets primarily
with fixed interest certificates of deposit issued by MBB, and to a lesser extent
through the variable rate MMDA Product at MBB.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive OfficerOff
icer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), evaluated the
effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end
of the period covered by this report.
Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered

by this report are designed and operating effectively to provide
reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by
us in reports filed under the 1934 Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in the SEC’s
SEC's rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management,
including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to
allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with management’s
evaluation that occurred during the Company’sCompany's third fiscal quarter
of 20172021 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 party
to various legal proceedings, which include claims and litigation arising in the ordinary
course of business.
In the
opinion of management, these actions will not have a material impact on our business,
financial condition,
results of operations or
cash flows.

Following the announcement on April 18, 2021 of the proposed Merger,
four complaints were filed against us and each member of our
Board of Directors, two of which were filed in the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York,
one of which
was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York
and one of which was filed in the United States
District Court for the District of New Jersey.
The complaints assert, among other things, claims under Section 14(a) and Section
20(a)
of the 1934 Act, and Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder,
for allegedly causing a materially incomplete and misleading preliminary
proxy statement to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to the Company’s
shareholders. The Company subsequently engaged in
arm’s-length negotiations
with parties to three of the four complaints to attempt to resolve the claims asserted and reached an
agreement whereby the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K
on July 23, 2021 (the “July 23 Form 8-K”) containing certain
supplemental disclosures regarding the Merger.
The Company believes that the allegations and claims asserted in the complaints lack
merit, and that the supplemental disclosures set forth in the July 23 Form 8-K were
not required or necessary under applicable laws.
However, solely in order to avoid the
risk of the litigation delaying or otherwise adversely affecting the Merger
and to minimize the
costs, risks, and uncertainties inherent in defending the litigation, the Company
voluntarily filed the July 23 Form 8-K. The Company
denies any liability or wrongdoing in connection with the alleged claims, and
nothing in the July 23 Form 8-K should be construed as
-57-
an admission of the legal necessity or materiality under applicable laws of any
of the supplemental disclosures.
See “Part I—Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Executive
Summary” in this Form 10-Q
for more information regarding the proposed Merger.
Item 1A.
Risk Factors

There have been no material changes in the risk factors disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on
Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

2020,


other than as discussed below.

We may fail
to consummate the proposed Merger, and
uncertainties related to the consummation of the Merger may have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of
operations and cash flows, and negatively impact the price of
our Common stock.
As previously discussed, on April 18, 2021, we entered into the Merger
Agreement, pursuant to which all outstanding shares of the
Company’s common
stock will, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger
Agreement, be cancelled and converted into the
merger consideration specified in the Merger
Agreement in an all cash transaction pursuant to the Merger.
The Merger is subject to, in addition to various other customary
closing conditions,
governmental and regulatory approvals and
completion of the De-banking.
The Merger Agreement includes customary representations
and warranties of the parties.
We have also made
certain additional
covenants in the Merger Agreement, including (a) covenants regarding
the operation of our business and that of our subsidiaries
pending the closing of the Merger,
and (b) a customary non-solicitation covenant prohibiting us from soliciting, providing
non-public
information in response to, or entering into discussions or negotiations with
respect to, proposals relating to alternative business
combination transactions, except as permitted under the Merger
Agreement. The Merger Agreement provides that, upon termination
of the Merger Agreement under certain specified circumstances, including
the acceptance of a Superior Proposal (as defined in the
Merger Agreement) for an alternative business combination
transaction, we will be required to pay a termination fee of approximately
$10.3
million.
There is no assurance that the Merger will occur on the terms and timeline
as set forth in the Merger Agreement and currently
contemplated, or at all. Potential risks and uncertainties include, but
are not limited to:
The Merger Agreement generally requires that we operate our
business in the ordinary course pending consummation of
the proposed Merger and restricts us, without Madeira Holdings, LLC’s
consent, from taking certain specified actions until the Merger
is completed. These restrictions may affect our ability
to execute our business strategies and attain our financial and other goals which
could negatively impact our business and results of operations.
The efforts to satisfy the closing conditions of the proposed Merger,
including the De-banking and regulatory approval
processes, may place a significant burden on management and internal
resources, and the Merger whether or not consummated, may
result in a diversion of management’s
attention from our day-to-day operations and result in a disruption of our
operations. Any
significant diversion of management attention away from our ongoing
business and any difficulties encountered in the Merger
process
could negatively impact our business and results of operations.
We could be
subject to litigation related to the proposed Merger,
which could result in significant costs and expenses. In
addition to potential litigation-related expenses, we have incurred
and will continue to incur other costs, expenses and fees for
professional services and other transaction costs in connection with
the proposed Merger, and many
of these fees and costs are payable
regardless of whether or not the proposed Merger is consummated.
The Merger Agreement contains certain termination provisions.
If the proposed Merger is not completed or the Merger
Agreement is terminated, the price of our common stock may decline,
including to the extent that the current market price of our
common stock reflects an assumption that the Merger will be consummated
without unexpected delays.
All of the foregoing could materially and adversely affect our business,
financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
