Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements

For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172021 and 20162020

(Unaudited)

 

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

OurThe interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X and in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) applicable to interim financial information. Accordingly, the information presented in ourthe interim financial statements does not include all information and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of ourFlexShopper, Inc.’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair statement of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for such periods. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in ourFlexShopper, Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.2020 filed with the SEC on March 8, 2021.

 

The Company has experienced significant historical operating losses and negative operating cash flows to date. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company incurred a net loss of approximately $4.3 million. For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company incurred a net loss of approximately $12.3 million and used approximately $17.4 million in cash flows for operations. Despite such events, management believes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations as they become due through November 14, 2018 based on (1) positive working capital of approximately $11.4 million at September 30, 2017, (2) the ability, to the extent required, to limit or eliminate discretionary spending related to marketing and advertising, (3) borrowing availability under its existing credit agreement to finance the purchase of new leased merchandise through April 1, 2018 (see Note 7), (4) the possibility of amending or extending the existing credit agreement, and (5) refinancing the existing credit agreement with a new credit facility prior to April 1, 2018, the date after which periodic payments are due to the lender in the current credit facility. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in renegotiating or replacing its existing credit agreement on terms acceptable to the Company. If the Company is unable to complete these plans it could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 20162020 contained herein has been derived from audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Principles of Consolidation - The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries after elimination of intercompany balances and transactions.

 

Estimates - The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition - Merchandise is leased to customers pursuant to lease purchase agreements which provide for weekly lease terms with non-refundable lease payments. Generally, the customer has the right to acquire title for ownership either through a 90 day90-day same as cash option, an early purchase option, or through payments of all required lease payments, generally 52 weeks.weeks, for ownership. On any current lease, customers have the option to cancel the agreement in accordance with lease terms and return the merchandise. Accordingly, customer agreements are accounted for as operating leases with lease revenues recognized in the month they are due on the accrual basis of accounting. Merchandise sales revenue is recognized when the customer exercises the purchase option and pays the purchase price. Revenue from processing fees earned upon exercise by the customer of the 90 day purchase option is recorded upon recognition of the related merchandise sales. Commencing in the quarter ended June 30, 2016, the Company discontinued charging a separate fee upon exercise of such option. Revenue for lease payments received prior to their due date is deferred and recognized as revenue in the period to which the payments relate. Revenues from leases and sales are reported net of sales taxes.

 


Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - FlexShopper seeks to collect amounts owed under its leases from each customer on a weekly or biweekly basis by charging their bank accounts or credit cards. Accounts receivable are principally comprised of lease payments currently owed to FlexShopper which are past due, as FlexShopper has been unable to successfully collect in the manner described above. Through June 30, 2016, anThe allowance for doubtful accounts was estimated by reserving all accounts in excess of four payments in arrears, adjusted for subsequent collections. Commencing in the quarter ended September 30, 2016, the estimate was revised to provide for doubtful accountsis based upon revenues and historical experience of balances charged off as a percentage of revenues. The accounts receivable balances consisted of the following as of SeptemberJune 30, 20172021 and December 31, 2016:2020:

 

  September 30,

Allowance for doubtful accounts  (31,900,573)  (22,138,541)
Accounts receivable, net $13,150,666  $10,032,714 

 

The allowance is a significant percentage of the balance because FlexShopper does not charge off any customer account until it has exhausted all collection efforts with respect to each account, including attempts to repossess items. In addition, while collections are pursued, the same delinquent customers will continue to accrue weekly charges until they are charged off, with such charges being fully reserved for.off. As the customer ages, the greater the allowance attributable to that account to reflect the decreased likelihood of successful collection efforts. Accounts receivable balances charged off against the allowance were $7,133,260$2,006,509 and $20,713,314$9,042,673 for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2021 respectively and $1,043,762$6,584,965 and $2,786,979$12,017,220 for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2020, respectively.

Lease Merchandise - Until all payment obligations for ownership are satisfied under the lease agreement, the Company maintains ownership of the lease merchandise. Lease merchandise consists primarily of residential furniture, consumer electronics, computers, appliances and household accessories and is recorded at cost net of accumulated depreciation. The Company depreciates leased merchandise using the straight linestraight-line method over the applicable agreement period for a consumer to acquire ownership, generally twelve months with no salvage value. Upon transfer of ownership of merchandise to customers resulting from satisfaction of their lease obligations, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from lease merchandise. For lease merchandise returned or anticipated to be returned either voluntarily or through repossession, the Company provides an impairment reserve for the undepreciated balance of the merchandise net of any estimated salvage value with a corresponding charge to cost of lease revenue. The cost, accumulated depreciation and impairment reserve related to such merchandise are written off upon determination that no salvage value is obtainable. The impairment charge amounted to approximately $664,000 and $3,948,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, and $603,000 and $1,615,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.

Lessor accounting

The Company accounts for leases in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 842 Leases (Topic 842). Under Topic 842, lessees are required to recognize for all leases at the commencement date as lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease measured on a discounted basis, and a right-to-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use or control the use of a specified asset for the lease term. The breakout of lease revenues and fees, net of lessor bad debt expense, that ties the consolidated statements of operations is shown below:

Deferred Debt Issuance Costs - Debt issuance costs incurred in conjunction with the Credit Agreement entered into on March 6, 2016 (see Note 7)2015, and subsequent amendments are offset against the outstanding balance of the loan payable and are amortized using the straight linestraight-line method over the remaining term of the credit facility. Amortization, which is included in interest expense, was computed using the straight line method over the term of the related debt, which approximates the effective interest method,method. Amortization, which is included in interest expense, was $118,404$41,603 and $355,212$130,124 for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2021, respectively, and $118,405$84,416 and $332,900$170,624 for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2020, respectively.

Debt issuance costs incurred in conjunction with the subordinated Promissory Notes are offset against the outstanding balance of the loan payable and are amortized using the straight-line method over the remaining term of the related debt, which approximates the effective interest method. Amortization, which is included in interest expense, was $1,273 and $4,456 for three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and $5,471 and $13,609 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.

Intangible Assets - Intangible assets consist of a pending patent on the Company’s LTO payment method at check-out for third party e-commerce sites. Patents are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Patent costs are amortized by using the straight linestraight-line method over the legal life, or if shorter, the useful life of the patent, which has been estimated to be 10 years. Intangible assets amortization expense was $769 and $1,538 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, and $769 and $1,538 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.

 

Software Costs - Costs related to developing or obtaining internal-use software incurred during the preliminary project and post-implementation stages of an internal use software project are expensed as incurred and certain costs incurred in the project’s application development stage are capitalized as property and equipment. The Company expenses costs related to the planning and operating stages of a website. Costs associated with minor enhancements and maintenance for the website are included in expenses as incurred. Direct costs incurred in the website’s development stage are capitalized as property and equipment. Capitalized software costs amounted to $481,306$526,723 and $1,419,273$1,115,715 for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2021, respectively, and $507,738$598,097 and $1,355,187$1,198,358 for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2020, respectively. Capitalized software amortization expense was $583,437 and $1,154,004 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, and $569,217 and $1,005,984 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

 

Operating Expenses - Operating expenses include corporate overhead expenses such as salaries, stock basedstock-based compensation, insurance, occupancy, and other administrative expenses.

 

Marketing Costs - Marketing costs, which primarily consistconsisting of advertising, are charged to expense as incurred. Direct acquisition costs, primarily consisting of commissions earned based on lease originations, are capitalized and amortized over the life of the lease.

 

Per Share Data - Per share data is computed by use of the two-class method as a result of outstanding Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock, which participates in dividends with the Company’s common stock and accordingly has participation rights in undistributed earnings as if all such earnings had been distributed during the period (see Note 8). Under such method income available to common shareholders is computed by deducting both dividends declared or, if not declared, accumulated on Series 2 Convertible Preferred Stock from income from continuing operations and from net income. Loss attributable to common shareholders is computed by increasing loss from continuing operations and net loss by such dividends. Where the Company has undistributed net income available to common shareholders, basic earnings per common share is computed based on the total of any dividends paid or declared per common share plus undistributed income per common share determined by dividing net income available to common shareholders reduced by any dividends paid or declared on common and participating Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock by the total of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the weighted average number of common shares issuable upon conversion of outstanding participating Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock during the period. Where the Company has a net loss, basic per share data (including income from continuing operations) is computed based solely on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. As the convertible participating preferred stockSeries 1 Convertible Preferred Stock has no contractual obligation to share in the losses of the Company, common shares issuable upon conversion of such preferred stock are not included in such computations.

 

8

Diluted earnings per share is based on the more dilutive of the if-converted method (which assumes conversion of the participating preferred stockSeries 1 Convertible Preferred Stock as of the beginning of the period) or the two-class method (which assumes that the participating preferred stockSeries 1 Convertible Preferred Stock is not converted) plus the potential impact of dilutive non-participating Series 2 Convertible Preferred Stock, options and warrants. The dilutive effect of stock options and warrants is computed using the treasury stock method, which assumes the repurchase of common shares at the average market price during the period. Under the treasury stock method, options and warrants will have a dilutive effect when the average price of common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of options or warrants. When there is a loss from continuing operations, potential common shares are not included in the computation of diluted loss per share, since they have an anti-dilutive effect.

 


In computing diluted lossincome/(loss) per share for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and the six months ended June 30, 2020, no effect has been given to the issuance of common stock upon conversion or exercise of the following securities as their effect is anti-dilutive:anti-dilutive.

Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the present value of the future lease payments at the lease commencement datedate. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for its leases, as the implicit rate in the lease is not readily determinable. The incremental borrowing rate is estimated to approximate the interest rate on a collateralized basis with similar terms and payments, and in economic environments where the leased asset is located. Operating lease assets also include any prepaid lease payments and lease incentives. The lease terms include periods under options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the option. The Company generally uses the base, non-cancelable, lease term when determining the lease assets and liabilities.

Interest expense incurred under the Credit Agreement amounted to $385,989 and $1,256,475 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, and $340,955 and $1,061,392 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. As of September 30, 2017, the outstanding balance under the Credit Agreement was $8,500,000. The Company repaid $788,207 in the second quarter of 2017 as a result of a pay down of the seasonal over advance from 2016.

Additionally, the Credit Agreement includes covenants requiring FlexShopper to maintain a minimum amount of Equity Book Value, maintain a minimum amount of liquidity and cash and maintain a certain ratio of Consolidated Total Debt to Equity Book Value (each capitalized term, as defined in the Credit Agreement). Upon a Permitted Change of Control (as defined in the Credit Agreement), FlexShopper must refinance the debt under the Credit Agreement, subject to the payment of an early termination fee. A summary of the covenant requirements, and FlexShopper’s actual results at June 30, 2021, follows:

  June 30, 2021 
  Required
Covenant
  Actual
Position
 
Equity Book Value not less than $8,000,000  $13,148,936

Cash greater than  500,000   5,147,213 
Consolidated Total Debt to Equity Book Value ratio not to exceed  5.25   3.05

Prior to the amendment described below, the Credit Agreement contained financial covenants requiring the Company and its subsidiaries to maintain as of the last day of each fiscal quarter during the term of the agreement minimum amounts of Unrestricted Cash and Equity Book Value and to achieve Adjusted Operating Cash Flow of not less than certain amounts during such quarters (all such terms as defined in the Credit Agreement). As of December 31, 2015, the Company was in violation of the covenant requiring an Equity Book Value of at least $7.0 million as of such date. Under the fourth amendment to the Credit Agreement, the Lender waived this violation. The covenant also required the Company and its subsidiaries to maintain an Equity Book Value of at least $7 million at each of June 30, March 31 and December 31, 2016, increasing to $10 million at the end of each quarter from March 31 through December 31, 2017.

On June 21, 2021 we were notified that effective April 7, 2021, the U.S. Small Business Administration confirmed the waiver of FlexShopper’s repayment of a $1,914,000 Paycheck Protection Program promissory note issued to the Company on May 4, 2020.

As a result of the PPP promissory note forgiveness, the Company recognized a gain from the extinguishment of the loan, including accrued interest, of $1,931,825.


ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes appearing at the end of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.2020. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business and related financing, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The “Risk Factors” section of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 20162020 should be read for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.

 

At FlexShopper, our highest priority remains the safety, health and well-being of our employees, their families and our communities and we remain committed to serving the needs of our customers. The COVID-19 pandemic is a highly fluid situation and it is not currently possible for us to reasonably estimate the full impact it may have on our financial and operating results. We will continue to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business as we learn more and the residual impact of COVID-19 on our industry becomes clearer.

Executive Overview

 

The results of operations from continuing operations below principally reflect the operations of FlexShopper, LLC (together with the Company and its direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, “FlexShopper”), which provideprovides certain types of durable goods to consumers on a lease-to-own (“LTO”) basis and also provides LTO terms to consumers of third partythird-party retailers and e-retailers. FlexShopper began generating revenues from this line of business in December 2013. Management believes that the introduction of FlexShopper’s LTO programs support broad untapped expansion opportunities within the U.S. consumer e-commerce and retail marketplaces. FlexShopper and its online LTO platforms provide consumers the ability to acquire durable goods, including electronics, computers and furniture, on an affordable payment, lease basis. Concurrently, e-retailers and retailers that work with FlexShopper may increase their sales by utilizing FlexShopper’s online channels to connect with consumers that want to acquire products on an LTO basis. FlexShopper’s sales channels include (1) selling directly to consumers via the online FlexShopper.com, an LTO Marketplace featuring thousands of durable goods, (2) utilizing FlexShopper’s patent pending LTO payment method at check out on e-commerce sites and through in-store terminals and (3) facilitating LTO transactions with retailers that have not yet become part of the FlexShopper.com LTO marketplace.

 

Summary of Critical Accounting Policies

 

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to credit provisions, intangible assets, contingencies, litigation and income taxes.  Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience as well as various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Management believes the following critical accounting policies, among others, reflect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - FlexShopper seeks to collect amounts owed under its leases from each customer on a weekly or biweekly basis by charging their bank accounts or credit cards. Accounts receivable are principally comprised of lease payments currently owed to FlexShopper which are past due as FlexShopper has been unable to successfully collect in the manner described above. Through June 30, 2016, anAn allowance for doubtful accounts wasis estimated by reserving all accounts in excess of four payments in arrears, adjusted for subsequent collections. Commencing in the quarter ended September 30, 2016, the estimate was revised to provide for doubtful accounts based upon revenues and historical experience of balances charged off as a percentage of revenues. The accounts receivable balances consisted of the following as of SeptemberJune 30, 20172021 and December 31, 2016:

  September 30,
2017
  December 31, 2016 
       
Accounts receivable $6,506,104  $11,690,495 
Allowance for doubtful accounts  3,111,378   9,508,708 
Accounts receivable, net $3,394,726  $2,181,787 

2020:

Accounts receivable $45,051,239  $32,171,255 
Allowance for doubtful accounts  (31,900,573)  (22,138,541)
Accounts receivable, net $13,150,666  $10,032,714 

The allowance is a significant percentage of the balance because FlexShopper does not charge off any customer account until it has exhausted all collection efforts with respect to each account, including attempts to repossess items. In addition, while collections are pursued, the same delinquent customers will continue to accrue weekly charges until they are charged off. As the customer account ages, the greater the allowance attributable to that account to reflect the decreased likelihood of successful collection efforts. Accounts receivable balances charged off against the allowance were $7,133,260$2,006,509 and $20,713,314$9,042,673 for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172021 respectively and $1,043,762$6,584,965 and $2,786,979$12,017,220 for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2020, respectively.

 


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

Stock Based Compensation - The fair value of transactions in which FlexShopper exchanges its equity instruments for employee services (share-based payment transactions) is recognized as an expense in the financial statements as services are performed. Compensation expense is determined by reference to the fair value of an award on the date of grant and is amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. We have elected to use the Black ScholesBlack-Scholes-Merton pricing model (BSM)(“BSM”) to determine the fair value of all stock option awards.

Provision for doubtful accounts was $4,681,832 and $3,501,023 forMarketing expenses in the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The primary reason for the increase is that the Company does not charge off any customer accounts until it has exhausted all collection efforts, including attempts2021 were $1,914,095 compared to repossess items. While collection efforts are pursued, delinquent customers continue to accrue weekly charges resulting$938,049 in a significant balance requiring a reserve. The Company anticipates improvement in the performance of its lease portfolio as it continues to refine its underwriting model, enhances its risk department and accumulates additional lease data. During the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 and 2016, $7,133,260 and $1,043,762 of accounts receivable balances were charged off against the allowance, respectively, after the Company exhausted all collection efforts with respect to such accounts.

If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the Borrower may be required to repay all amounts outstanding under the February Note. Obligations under the February Note are secured by substantially all of the Borrower’s assets, subject to rights of the lenders under the Credit Agreement. On March 22, 2021, FlexShopper, LLC executed an amendment to the NRNS and February Note such that the maturity date was extended to April 1, 2022. No other changes were made to such Note. As of June 30, 2021, $2,023,769 of principal and accrued and unpaid interest was outstanding on the February Note.


The Company is pursuing a refinancing of both related party subordinated notes with a non-related party note with a term that is similar to the Credit Agreement.

The Company applied for and received a loan (the “Loan”) on May 4, 2020, from Customers Bank (the “PPP Lender”) in the principal amount of $1,914,100, pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), which was enacted March 27, 2020, and administered through the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”).

The Loan was evidenced by a promissory note (the “Note”), dated April 30, 2020, issued by the Borrower to the PPP Lender. The Note matured on April 30, 2022, and bore interest at the rate of 1.00% per annum, payable monthly commencing the later of on November 30, 2020 or the SBA review of the forgiveness application. The Note might be prepaid by the Borrower at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalty. Proceeds from the Loan were available to the Borrower to fund designated expenses, including certain payroll costs, group health care benefits and other permitted expenses, in accordance with the PPP. Under the terms of the PPP, up to the entire sum of the principal amount and accrued interest might be forgiven to the extent the Loan proceeds were used for qualifying expenses as described in the CARES Act and applicable implementing guidance issued by the U.S. Small Business Administration under the PPP.

On June 21, 2021 we were notified that effective April 7, 2021, the U.S. Small Business Administration confirmed the waiver of FlexShopper’s repayment of a $1,914,000 Paycheck Protection Program promissory note issued to the Company on May 4, 2020.

As a result of the PPP promissory note forgiveness, the Company recognized a gain from the extinguishment of the loan, including accrued interest, of $1,931,825.

Capital Resources

 

TheTo date, funds derived from the sale of FlexShopper’s common stock, warrants, Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock and Series 2 Convertible Preferred Stock and FlexShopper’sthe Company’s ability to borrow funds underagainst the Credit Agreementlease portfolio have provided the liquidity and capital resources necessary for FlexShopper to purchase durable goods pursuant to lease-to-own transactions and to support FlexShopper’s current general working capital needs. fund its operations.

However, therethe next 12 months can be no assurances that unforeseen circumstances will not requiremet by cash flow from operations generated by the existing portfolio and/or additional borrowings against the Credit Agreement (see Note 7).

Financial Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 Pandemic and the related stimulus programs had an impact on the Company. The immediate impact early in the second quarter of 2020 was a transition to a significant percentage of the Company’s employees working remotely. Fortunately, our South Florida location requires a thorough Hurricane Impact plan enabling all our employees to work remotely, if necessary. All employees, via specially configured laptops, are able to access the same data and have the same functionality as if they were in the office. Throughout the pandemic, FlexShopper rotated select groups of employees into the office in order to adjust to the other business impacts on the business. As of the end of June 2021, approximately 30% of our employees are working remotely.

The other impacts of the business can be broken into three categories. The first is the decrease is the availability of our lease financing product. Pre-COVID-19, approximately 40% of new customers were obtained through brick and mortar or B2B retailers. The pandemic-related closing and limited operations of retailers, as well as shelter in place orders, limited our new customers from this channel substantially over the second quarter and third quarter of 2020. Through the first half of the second quarter of 2021 there was diminished demand from our B2B retailers resulting from pandemic related issues. Moreover, since the crisis began, a number of our brick and mortar rollouts and pilots have been delayed or put on hold as our retailer partners attempt to return to a more stable operational environment.

The second impact was a Company reaction in the second quarter of 2020 to the uniqueness of the pandemic. Not knowing what the potential impact to consumer payment patterns would be, the Company significantly tightened approval rates. It was not until the end of the third quarter of 2020, that approval rates returned to raise additional investment capital sooner than expected. If the Company is unable to obtain additional required funding,pre-pandemic levels. This decreased approval rate, both online and in third party stores, coupled with the Company’s financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.retailer closures mentioned above, significantly reduced new lease originations.

 

The third impact was on consumer behavior and payment patterns. The combination of stimulus measures was especially impactful to our typical customer. As a result of enhanced income, the demand for our products was reduced, the likelihood of consumers choosing early payoff options increased substantially and, on a positive note, the asset level performance of our full-term customer, relative to their expected performance, increased substantially.

As of the end of July 2021, we still are experiencing the impact of the continued stimulus in our consumers’ behavior. Payment patterns are still skewing to a greater number of early payoffs versus pre-pandemic levels and reduced demand is evident in our digital marketing channels through the conversion rate of new applicants. However, the enhanced payment performance, versus our expected performance, is beginning to wane which would seem to be a potential initial indicator of a return to the Pre-COVID-19 environment.

Finally, throughout the pandemic, the Company has continued to grow the lease portfolio despite the items mentioned previously. At no point, have there been liquidity concerns or covenant complications. In fact, our credit facility was upsized, our product breadth increased and our covenants reduced in the first half of 2021.
