CAUTIONARY STATEMENT ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain information set forth in this report may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which are intended to be covered by the “safe harbor” created by that section. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies and expectations, can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking terms such as “believe,” “expect,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “seek,” “intend,” “plan,” “goal,” “project,” “estimate,” “anticipate” “strategy,” “future,” “likely” or other comparable terms and references to future periods. All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this report regarding our strategies, prospects, financial condition, operations, costs, plans and objectives are forward-looking statements. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements we make regarding the expansion of our lease-to-own program, expectations concerning our partnerships with retail partners, investments in, and the success of, our underwriting technology and risk analytics platform, our ability to collect payments due from customers, expected future operating results, and expectations concerning our business strategy.

Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Our actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following:

●	our limited operating history, limited cash and history of losses;

●	our ability to obtain adequate financing to fund our business operations in the future;

●	the failure to successfully manage and grow our FlexShopper.com e-commerce platform;

●	our ability to maintain compliance with financial covenants under our Credit Agreement;

●	our dependence on the success of our third-party retail partners and our continued relationships with them;

●	our compliance with various federal, state and local laws and regulations, including those related to consumer protection;

●	~~the impact of supply chain shortages and delays on our retail partners and indirectly on us;~~

●	the failure to protect the integrity and security of customer and employee information;

●	the impact future inflation will have on our operating results and financial condition;

●	the business and financial impact of the continuing COVID-19 pandemic;

●	the ~~effects of inflationary pressures~~impact increasing interest rates will have on ~~consumer spending;~~our Credit Agreement; and

●	the other risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” sections of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

Any forward-looking statement made by us in this report is based only on information currently available to us and speaks only as of the date on which it is made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required under federal securities law. We anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause our views to change. You should read this report completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures or investments we may undertake. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements

For the nine months ended September 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020~~2021

(Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

~~2. BUSINESS~~

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

2. BUSINESS

FlexShopper, Inc. (the “Company”) is a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware in 2006. The Company owns 100% of FlexShopper, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company and owns 100% of FlexLending, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. The Company is a holding corporation with no operations except for those conducted by its subsidiaries FlexShopper, LLC and ~~its subsidiary~~ FlexLending, LLC.

In January 2015, in connection with the Credit Agreement entered in March 2015 (see Note 7), FlexShopper 1 LLC and FlexShopper 2 LLC were organized as wholly owned Delaware subsidiaries of FlexShopper LLC to conduct operations. FlexShopper Inc, together with its subsidiaries, are hereafter referred to as “FlexShopper.”

FlexShopper, LLC provides through e-commerce sites, certain types of durable goods to consumers on a lease-to-own basis (“LTO”) including consumers of third-party retailers and e-tailers. The Company effects these transactions by first approving consumers through its proprietary, risk analytics-powered underwriting model. After receiving a signed consumer lease, the Company then funds the leased item by purchasing the item from the Company’s merchant partner and leasing it to the consumer. The Company then collects payments from consumers under their consumer lease.

FlexLending, LLC participates in a consumer finance program offered by a third-party bank partner. The third-party originates unsecured consumer loans through strategic sales channels. Under this program, FlexLending, LLC purchases a participation interest in each of the loans originated by the third-party.

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.~~periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Restricted Cash – The Company classifies all cash whose use is limited by contractual provisions as restricted cash. Restricted cash as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 consists primarily of cash required by our third-party banking partner to cover obligations related to loan participation.

The reconciliation of cash and restricted cash is as follows:

	September 30, 2022		December 31, 2021

Cash	$	5,274,219	$	4,986,559
Restricted cash		481,867		108,083
Total cash and restricted cash	$	5,756,086	$	5,094,642

Revenue Recognition - Merchandise is leased to customers pursuant to lease purchase agreements which provide for weekly lease terms with non-refundable lease payments. Generally, the customer has the right to acquire title either through a 90-day same as cash option, an early purchase option, or through ~~payments~~completion of all required lease payments, generally 52 ~~weeks, for ownership.~~weeks. On any current lease, customers have the option to cancel the agreement in accordance with lease terms and return the merchandise. ~~Accordingly, customer~~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 for lease payments received prior to their due date is deferred and is recognized as revenue in the period to which the payments relate. Revenues from leases and sales are reported net of sales taxes.

~~Accounts Receivable~~Lease Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - FlexShopper seeks to collect amounts owed under its leases from each customer on a weekly or biweekly basis by charging their bank accounts or credit cards. ~~Accounts receivable~~Lease receivables are principally comprised of lease payments currently owed to FlexShopper which are past due, as FlexShopper has been unable to successfully collect in the aforementioned manner ~~described above. The~~and therefore the Company has an in-house and near-shore team to collect on the past due amounts. FlexShopper maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts, under which FlexShopper’s policy is to record an allowance for estimated uncollectible charges, primarily based ~~upon revenues~~on historical collection experience that considers both the aging of the lease and ~~historical experience of balances charged off~~the origination channel. Other qualitative factors are considered in estimating the allowance, such as ~~a percentage of revenues.~~seasonality, underwriting changes and other business trends. We believe our allowance is adequate to absorb all expected losses. The ~~accounts receivable~~lease receivables balances consisted of the following as of September 30, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020:~~2021:

September 30,
2021 December 31,
2020
Accounts receivable $ 44,902,037 $ 32,171,255
Allowance for doubtful accounts (25,250,787 ) (22,138,541 )
Accounts receivable, net $ 19,651,250 $ 10,032,714

	September 30, 2022			December 31, 2021

Lease receivables	$	46,790,076		$	53,176,432
Allowance for doubtful accounts		(13,364,953	)		(27,703,278	)
Lease receivables, net	$	33,425,123		$	25,473,154

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 continue to accrue weekly charges until they are charged off.~~ As the ~~customer~~lease ages, the greater the allowance attributable to that account to reflect the decreased likelihood of successful collection efforts. ~~Accounts receivable~~Lease receivables balances charged off against the allowance were ~~$18,467,220~~$16,174,329 and ~~$27,509,893~~$56,977,427 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and $18,437,746 and $27,454,106 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, ~~respectively and $4,813,162 and $16,830,382 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020,~~ respectively.

Lease Merchandise, net - Until all payment obligations for ownership are satisfied under the lease agreement, the Company maintains ownership of the lease merchandise. Lease merchandise consists primarily of residential furniture, consumer electronics, computers, appliances and household accessories and is recorded at cost net of accumulated depreciation. The Company depreciates leased merchandise using the straight-line method over the applicable agreement period for a consumer to acquire ownership, generally twelve months with no salvage value. Upon transfer of ownership of merchandise to customers resulting from satisfaction of their lease obligations, the 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 net leased merchandise balances consisted of the following as of September 30, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020:~~2021:

	September 30, 2021			December 31, 2020			September 30, 2022			December 31, 2021
Lease merchandise at cost	$	76,187,372		$	64,335,971		$	68,329,607		$	72,159,063
Accumulated depreciation		(38,655,591	)		(19,162,357	)		(34,037,173	)		(29,505,431	)
Impairment reserve		(4,198,927	)		(2,351,274	)		(3,639,610	)		(1,711,520	)
Lease merchandise, net	$	33,332,854		$	42,822,340		$	30,652,824		$	40,942,112

Cost of lease revenue and merchandise sold represents the depreciation and impairment of lease merchandise and the undepreciated cost of rental merchandise at the time of sale.

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

Interest and fees are discontinued when loan receivables become contractually 120 or more days past due. The Company charges-off loans at the earlier of when the loans are determined to be uncollectible or when the loans are 120 days contractually past due. Recoveries on loan receivables that were previously charged off are recognized when cash is received. Changes in the fair value of loan receivables include the impact of current period charge offs associated with these receivables.

The Company estimates the fair value of the loan receivables using a discounted cash flow analysis at an individual loan level to more accurately predict future payments. The Company adjusts expected cash flows for estimated losses and servicing costs over the estimated duration of the underlying assets. These adjustments are determined using historical data and include appropriate consideration of recent trends and anticipated future performance. Future cash flows are discounted using a rate of return that the Company believes a market participant would require. Model results may be adjusted by management if the Company does not believe the output reflects the fair value of the instrument, as defined under U.S. GAAP. The models are updated at each measurement date to capture any changes in internal factors such as nature, term, volume, payment trends, remaining time to maturity, and portfolio mix, as well as changes in underwriting or observed trends expected to impact future performance.

Further details concerning loan receivables at fair value are presented within “Fair Value Measurement” section in this Note.

A third party bank partner originates our credit product and initially provides all of the funding for the loans. The third-party sells a participation of all loans originated to the Company. FlexShopper services the loans and remits the corresponding portion of any collections to the third party. Loan revenues and fees is representative of the Company’s portion of participation in the loans.

Net changes in the fair value of loan receivables at fair value, which is included in the consolidated statements of operations in the line “loan revenues and fees, net of changes in fair value” was a loss of $4,396,421 and a loss of $1,938,570 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and a gain of $4,339 and a loss of $54,236 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.

Lease accounting

The Company accounts for leases in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 842 Leases (Topic 842). Under Topic 842, lessees are required to recognize ~~for all~~ leases at the commencement date as a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease measured on a discounted basis, and a right-to-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use or control the use of a specified asset for the lease term.

Deferred Debt Issuance Costs - Debt issuance costs incurred in conjunction with the Credit Agreement entered into on March 6, 2015 and subsequent amendments are offset against the outstanding balance of the loan payable and are amortized using the straight-line method over the remaining term of the related debt, which approximates the effective interest method. Amortization, which is included in interest expense, was $56,283 and $161,895 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and $41,794 and $171,918 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, ~~respectively, and $45,912 and $216,536 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 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 $0 and $1,274 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and $1,273 and $5,729 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, ~~and $4,138 and $17,747 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020,~~ respectively.

Intangible Assets - Intangible assets consist of a patent on the Company’s LTO payment method at check-out for third party e-commerce sites. ~~Patents are~~The patent is stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Patent costs are amortized by using the straight-line method over the legal life, or if shorter, the useful life of the patent, which has been estimated to be 10 years.

Software Costs - Costs related to developing or obtaining internal-use software incurred during the preliminary project and post-implementation stages of an internal use software project are expensed as incurred and certain costs incurred in the project’s application development stage are capitalized as property and equipment. The Company expenses costs related to the planning and operating stages of a website. Costs associated with minor enhancements and maintenance for the website are included in expenses as incurred. Direct costs incurred in the website’s development stage are capitalized as property and equipment. Capitalized software costs amounted to $1,485,669 and $3,755,750 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and $900,031 and $2,015,746 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, ~~respectively,~~respectively.

Data Costs –- The Company buys data from different vendors upon receipt of an application. The data costs directly used to make underwriting ~~decision~~decisions are expensed as incurred. Certain data costs that are probable to provide future economic benefit to the Company are capitalized ~~as property and equipment~~ and amortized on a straight-line basis over their ~~estimate~~estimated useful lives. The probability to provide future economic benefit of the data cost assets is estimated based upon future usage of the information onin different areas and products of the Company. At the beginning of the third quarter of 2021, the Company made several changes ~~remarked by~~including the implementation of a more ~~discipline~~disciplined process around data procurement and storage. Those improvements triggered a change in the estimate of the probability to provide future economic benefit of some data cost.

Capitalized data costs amounted to ~~$461,380~~$458,018 and $1,220,722 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and $461,379 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. Capitalized data costs amortization expense was $162,290 and $371,949 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and $24,406 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

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

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

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

Per Share Data - Per share data is computed by use of the two-class method as a result of outstanding Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock, which participates in dividends with the common stock and accordingly has participation rights in undistributed earnings as if all such earnings had been distributed during the period (see Note 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~~a net ~~income available~~loss, as the participating Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock has no contractual obligation to share in the losses of the Company, there is no loss allocation between common ~~shareholders, basic~~stock and Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock.

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~~income/ (loss) available to common shareholders reduced by any dividends paid or declared on common and participating Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock by the total of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding ~~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 participating Series 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.

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

Stock-Based Compensation - The fair value of transactions in which the Company exchanges its equity instruments for employee and non-employee services (share-based payment transactions) is recognized as ana compensation expense in the financial statements as services are performed.

Compensation expense for stock options is determined by reference to the fair value of an award on the date of grant and is ~~amortized~~recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The Company has elected to use the Black-Scholes-Merton (BSM) pricing model to determine the fair value of all stock option awards.

Compensation expense for performance share units is recognized on an accelerated basis over the vesting period based on the Company’s projected assessment of the level of performance that will be achieved and earned. The fair value of performance share units is based on the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant (see Note 9).

Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The carrying value of certain financial instruments such as cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature. The carrying value of loans payable under the Credit Agreement ~~increased by unamortized issuance costs approximates fair value. The~~and the carrying value of promissory notes to related parties approximates fair value based upon their interest rates, which approximate current market interest rates.

The Company utilizes the fair value option on its entire loan receivables portfolio purchased from its bank partner.

Fair Value Measurements- The Company uses a hierarchical framework that prioritizes and ranks the market observability of inputs used in its fair value measurements. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of asset or liability and the characteristics specific to the asset or liability being measured. Assets and liabilities with readily available, active, quoted market prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally are deemed to have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value. The Company classifies the inputs used to measure fair value into one of three levels as follows:

●	Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

●	Level 2: Inputs other than Level 1, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, and model-derived prices whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

●	Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability measured.

Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs are based on the Company’s market assumptions. Unobservable inputs require significant management judgment or estimation.

The Company’s financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 is as follows:

	Fair Value Measurement Using						Carrying
Financial instruments – As of September 30, 2022 (1)	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Amount
Loan receivables at fair value	$	-	$	-	$	26,591,546	$	20,784,782

	Fair Value Measurement Using						Carrying
Financial instruments – As of December 31, 2021 (1)	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Amount
Loan receivables at fair value	$	-	$	-	$	3,560,108	$	3,151,184

(1)

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

The Company primarily estimates the fair value of its loan receivables portfolio using discounted cash flow models. The models use inputs, such as estimated losses, servicing costs and discount rates, that are unobservable but reflect the Company’s best estimates of the assumptions a market participant would use to calculate fair value. Certain unobservable inputs may, in isolation, have either a directionally consistent or opposite impact on the fair value of the financial instrument for a given change in that input. An increase to the net loss rate, servicing cost, or discount rate would decrease the fair value of the Company’s loan receivables. When multiple inputs are used within the valuation techniques for loan receivables, a change in one input in a certain direction may be offset by an opposite change from another input.

The following describes the primary inputs to the discounted cash flow models that require significant judgement:

●

Estimated losses are estimates of the principal payments that will not be repaid over the life of the loans, net of the expected principal recoveries on charged-off receivables. FlexShopper systems monitor collections and portfolio performance data that are used to continually refine the analytical models and statistical measures used in making marketing and underwriting decisions. Leveraging the data at the core of the business, the Company utilizes the models to estimate lifetime credit losses for loan receivables. Inputs to the models include expected cash flows, historical and current performance, and behavioral information. Management may also incorporate discretionary adjustments based on the Company’s expectations of future credit performance.

●

Servicing costs – Servicing costs applied to the expected cash flows of the portfolio reflect the Company’s estimate of the amount investors would incur to service the underlying assets for the remainder of their lives. Servicing costs are derived from the Company internal analysis of our cost structure considering the characteristics of the receivables and have been benchmarked against observable information on comparable assets in the marketplace.

●	Discount rates – the discount rates utilized in the cash flow analyses reflect the Company’s estimates of the rates of return that investors would require when investing in financial instruments with similar risk and return characteristics.

For Level 3 assets carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs, the following table presents a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for the years ended September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

Income Taxes -– Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of net operating loss carryforwards and temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their respective financial reporting amounts measured at the current enacted tax rates. The Company records a valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets when management concludes that it is not more likely than not that such assets will be recognized.

The Company recognizes a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. As of September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, and ~~2020,~~2021, the Company had not recorded any unrecognized tax benefits. Interest and penalties related to liabilities for uncertain tax positions will be charged to interest and operating expenses, respectively.

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

Below is a summary of the weighted-average discount rate and weighted-average remaining lease term for the Company’s leases:

	Weighted Average Discount Rate			Weighted Average Remaining Lease Term (in years)		Weighted Average Discount Rate			Weighted Average Remaining Lease Term (in years)
Operating Leases		13.03	%		7		13.03	%	6
Finance Leases		13.32	%		3		13.36	%	2

Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term within operating expenses in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. Finance lease expense is recognized over the lease term within interest expense and amortization in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company’s total operating and finance lease expense all relate to lease costs and amounted to ~~$97,063~~$292,056 and ~~$110,021 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively and~~ $303,871 ~~and $329,094~~ for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020,~~September 30, 2021, respectively.

7. LOAN PAYABLE UNDER CREDIT AGREEMENT

On March 6, 2015, FlexShopper, through a wholly-owned subsidiary (“Borrower”), entered into a credit agreement (as amended from time-to-time, the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as paying agent, various lenders from time to time party thereto and WE 2014-1, LLC, an affiliate of Waterfall Asset Management, LLC, as administrative agent and lender (“Lender”). The Borrower is permitted to borrow funds under the Credit Agreement based on FlexShopper’s cash on hand and the Amortized Order Value of its Eligible Leases (as such terms are defined in the Credit Agreement) less certain deductions described in the Credit Agreement. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, the Borrower may borrow up to ~~$47,500,000~~$57,500,000 from the Lender until the Commitment Termination Date and must repay all borrowed amounts one year thereafter, on the date that is 12 months following the Commitment Termination Date (unless such amounts become due or payable on an earlier date pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement). The Lender was granted a security interest in certain leases as collateral under this Agreement.

On January 29, 2021, the Company and the Lender signed an Omnibus Amendment to the Credit Agreement. This Amendment extended the Commitment Termination Date to April 1, 2024, amended other covenant requirements, partially removed indebtedness covenants and amended eligibility rules. The interest rate charged on amounts borrowed is LIBOR plus 11% per annum. The Company paid the lender a fee of $237,000 in consideration of the execution of this Omnibus Amendment. At September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, amounts borrowed bear interest at ~~11.25%~~13.82%.

On March 8, 2022, pursuant to Amendment No. 15 to Credit Agreement, the Commitment Amount was increased to be up to $82,500,000. The incremental increase in the Commitment Amount was provided by WE 2022-1, LLC, as an additional lender under the Credit Agreement. WE 2022-1, LLC is an affiliate of Waterfall Asset Management, LLC. No other changes were made to the credit agreement. As of July 1, 2022, WE 2022-1, LLC assigned 100% of its Commitment and all Loans to WE 2014-1, LLC. Effective September 27, 2022, WE 2014-1, LLC assigned 100% of its Commitments and all Loans to Powerscourt Investments 32, LP, an affiliate of Waterfall Asset Management, LLC.

The Credit Agreement provides that FlexShopper may not incur additional indebtedness (other than expressly permitted indebtedness) without the permission of the Lender and also prohibits payments of cash dividends on common stock. Additionally, the Credit Agreement includes covenants requiring FlexShopper to maintain a minimum amount of Equity Book Value, maintain a minimum amount of liquidity and cash and maintain a certain ratio of Consolidated Total Debt to Equity Book Value (each capitalized term, as defined in the Credit Agreement). Upon a Permitted Change of Control (as defined in the Credit Agreement), FlexShopper must refinance the debt under the Credit Agreement, subject to the payment of an early termination fee. A summary of the covenant requirements, and FlexShopper’s actual results at September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, follows:

	September 30, 2021				September 30, 2022

Interest is payable monthly on the outstanding balance of the amounts borrowed. No principal is expected to be repaid in the next twelve months due to the Commitment Termination Date having been extended to April 1, 2024, or from reductions in the borrowing base. Accordingly, all principal is shown as a non-current liability at September 30, 2022.

On March 5, 2021, the applicable regulators announced that LIBOR will cease to be provided and will no longer be representative (i) immediately after December 31, 2021 for all sterling, euro, Swiss franc and Japanese yen settings, and the one-week and two-month U.S. dollar settings and (ii) immediately after June 30,2023 for the remaining U.S. dollar settings.

The warrants are exercisable at $1.25 per share of common stock and expire on September 28, 2023.

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

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

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

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded an expense of $522,808 based on a weighted average grant date fair value of $1.63 per warrant.

Stock options:

The ~~weighted average grant date~~ fair value of stock options ~~granted during~~is recognized as compensation expense by the ~~nine-month period ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020 was $1.77 and $1.50 per share respectively.~~straight-line method over the vesting period. The Company measured the fair value of each stock option award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton (BSM) pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

Nine Months ended
September 30,
2021 2020
Exercise price $ 2.38 to 3.09 $ 1.74 to 2.89
Expected life 5 years 5 years
Expected volatility 92 % 73 %
Dividend yield 0 % 0 %
Risk-free interest rate 0.31% to 0.98 % 0.28% to 1.72 %

	Nine months ended September 30, 2022	Nine months ended September 30, 2021
Exercise price	$ 0.9 to 1.86	$ 2.38 to 3.09
Expected life	6 years	5 years
Expected volatility	69%	92%
Dividend yield	0%	0%
Risk-free interest rate	1.89 to 4.02 %	0.31 to 0.98 %

The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s historical dividend yield. The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The expected life is based on the simplified expected term calculation permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, ~~(the “SEC”),~~ which defines the expected life as the average of the contractual term of the options and the weighted-average vesting period for all option tranches. The risk-free interest rate is based on the annual yield on the grant date of a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bond the maturity of which equals the option’s expected life.

Activity in stock options for the nine months period ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 was as follows:

	Number of options			Weighted average exercise price		Weighted average contractual term (years)		Aggregate intrinsic value
Outstanding at January 1, 2022		3,080,904		$	2.06			$	1,923,642

Vested and exercisable at September 30, 2021		2,127,537		$	2.03		7.02	$	2,850,630

The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the nine month period ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 was $0.91 and $1.77 per share, respectively.

Performance Share Units:

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

For performance share units, which are settled in stock, ~~options~~the number of shares earned is ~~recognized~~subject to both performance and time-based vesting. For the performance component, the number of shares earned is determined at the end of the periods based upon achievement of specified performance conditions as adjusted EBITDA of the Company. When the performance criteria are met, the award is earned and vests assuming continued employment through the specified service period(s). Shares are issued from the Company’s 2018 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan upon vesting. The number of performance-based shares which could potentially be issued ranges from 0 up to a maximum of 790,327 of the target awards depending on the specified terms and conditions of the target award.

The fair value of performance share units is based on the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The compensation expense ~~by the straight-line method~~associated with these awards is amortized on an accelerated basis over the vesting ~~period. Compensation expense recorded for options~~period based on the Company’s projected assessment of the level of performance that will be achieved and earned. In the event the Company determines it is no longer probable that the minimum performance criteria specified in the ~~consolidated statements of operations~~plan will be achieved, all previously recognized compensation expense is reversed in the period such a determination is made. The Company determined it was ~~$265,407~~probable that the minimum performance component would be met and ~~$894,892~~accordingly commenced amortization in the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

Activity in performance share units for the ~~three and~~ nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and $169,393 and $793,241 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. Unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested options at September 30, 2021 amounted to approximately $995,335 which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.66 years.2022 was as follows:

	Number of performance share units		Weighted average grant date fair value
Non- vested at January 1, 2022		-		-
Granted		790,327	$	1.53
Forfeited/ unearned		-		-
Vested		-		-
Non- vested at September 30, 2022		790,327	$	1.53

10. INCOME TAXES

During the second quarter of 2022, the Company released the valuation allowance of the Company’s deferred tax asset recorded as of December 31, 2021. The Company had historical cumulative positive pre-tax income plus permanent differences. The realization of the deferred tax asset as of September 30, 2022 is more likely than not based on the refined and updated net income forecast of the Company for 2022, mainly considering the expansion of our loan portfolio with our bank partner and the sale of past due lease receivables that occurred in the second quarter of the year.

The release of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance resulted in a tax benefit of approximately $12.5 million in the three-month period ended June 30, 2022 and in the nine-month period ended September 30,2022.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of $56,361,269 and $3,419,272, respectively. Our federal loss carryforwards do not expire. The Company’s net operating losses may be subject to annual Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code limitations due to ownership changes that could impact future realization.

Effective income tax rates for interim periods are based on our estimate of the applicable annual income tax rate. The Company’s effective income tax rate varies based upon the estimate of our annual taxable earnings and the allocation of those taxable earnings across the various states in which we operate. Changes in the annual allocation of the Company’s activity among these jurisdictions results in changes to the effective tax rate utilized to measure the Company’s income tax provision and deferred tax assets and ~~liabilities~~liabilities.

The Company’s effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2022 is different than the statutory rate of 21% primally due to the state income taxes and permanent differences. The Company’s effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2021 was approximately 36% and 42%, respectively. This was~~2022 is different than the ~~expected federal income tax~~statutory rate of 21% ~~primarily~~primally due to the ~~impact~~state income taxes, permanent differences and the release of the valuation allowance provided against our deferred tax assets. Non-taxable income from the forgiveness of PPP loans, non-deductible equity compensation, and state income taxes also impacted the effective tax rate.

Management believes that certain federal and state deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2021 do not satisfy the realization criteria and has recorded a valuation allowance to reduce the carrying value of the Company’s deferred tax assets to the extent that realization is not more likely than not. Deferred tax liabilities are recorded to the extent that reversing taxable temporary differences cannot be offset with existing deferred tax assets. Utilization of the Company’s NOL carryforwards may be subject to annual limitations under Internal Revenue Code Section 382.allowance.

11. ~~EXCHANGE OFFER OF WARRANTS~~

On February 4, 2020, the Company completed an exchange offer relating to outstanding public warrants, in which the holders of the public warrants were offered 0.62 shares of common stock for each outstanding warrant tendered (the “Warrant Exchange Offer”).

~~In total, 5,351,290 warrants were exchanged for 3,317,812 shares in accordance with the Warrant Exchange Offer.~~

On February 19, 2020, the Company exchanged all remaining untendered public warrants for common stock at a rate of 0.56 shares per public warrant in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Agreement (the “Mandatory Conversion of Warrants”). In total 258,610 warrants were exchanged for 144,871 shares in this transaction.

~~As a result of this transaction, the Company recognized a deemed dividend of $713,212 resulting from the excess of the fair value of the common stock over the intrinsic value of the warrants.~~

~~12.~~ CONTINGENCIES AND OTHER UNCERTAINTIES

Regulatory inquiries

In the first quarter of 2021, FlexShopper, along with a number of other lease-to-own companies, received a subpoena from the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (the “DFPI”) requesting the production of documents and information regarding the Company’s compliance with state consumer protection laws. The Company is cooperatively engaging with the DFPI in response to its inquiry. Although the Company believes it is in compliance with all applicable consumer protection laws and regulations in California, this inquiry ultimately could lead to an enforcement action and/or a consent order, and substantial costs, including legal fees, fines, penalties, and remediation expenses.

COVID-19

The extent of the impact and effects of the ~~recent~~ outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19) on the operation and financial performance of our business will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, the recovery time of the disrupted supply chains, or the uncertainty with respect to the accessibility of additional liquidity or capital markets, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. If the demand for the Company’s leases is impacted by this outbreak for an extended period, our results of operations may be materially adversely affected.

~~13.~~12. COMMITMENTS

The Company does not have any commitments other than real property leases (Note 4).

~~14.~~13. PROMISSORY NOTE- PAYCHECK PROTECTION PROGRAM

FlexShopper, LLC (the “Borrower”) applied for and received a loan (the “Loan”) on May 4, 2020, from Customers Bank (the “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 Loan was evidenced by a promissory note (the “Note”), dated April 30, 2020, issued by the Borrower to the Lender. The Note matured on April 30, 2022 and bore interest at the rate of 1.00% per annum, payable monthly commencing on November 30, 2020, following an initial deferral period as specified under the PPP. 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 in the year ended December 31, 2021 a gain from the extinguishment of the loan, including accrued interest, of $1,931,825.

14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Loan Payable Under Credit Agreement

On March 6, 2015, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Borrower”), entered into a credit agreement (as amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as paying agent, various lenders from time to time party thereto, and WE 2014-1, LLC, an affiliate of Waterfall Asset Management, LLC, as administrative agent and lender. See Note 7.

Effective September 27, 2022, WE 2014-1, LLC assigned 100% of its Commitments and all Loans to Powerscourt Investments 32, LP, an affiliate of Waterfall Asset Management, LLC.

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

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, ~~2020.~~2021. 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, ~~2020~~2021 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 reflect the operations of FlexShopper, LLC and FlexLending, LLC (together with the Company and its direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, “FlexShopper”)~~, which~~. FlexShopper, LLC provides certain types of durable goods to consumers on a lease-to-own (“LTO”) basis and also provides LTO terms to consumers of third-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.

In 2021, through our subsidiary FlexLending, LLC, we began a test to market an unsecured, consumer loan product for our bank partner that would augment our LTO solution. In 2022, based upon the success of this testing, the marketing of our bank partner’s loans has become a strategic solution that we offer to many of our current customers and through our retailer partners.

Summary of Critical Accounting Policies

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

~~Accounts Receivable~~Lease Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts -– FlexShopper seeks to collect amounts owed under its leases from each customer on a weekly or biweekly basis by charging their bank accounts or credit cards. ~~Accounts receivable~~Lease receivables are principally comprised of lease payments currently owed to FlexShopper which are past due as FlexShopper has been unable to successfully collect in the manner described above. An allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated primarily based upon ~~revenues~~historical collection experience that considers both the aging of the lease and ~~historical experience of balances charged off~~the origination channel. Other qualitative factors are considered in estimating the allowance, such as ~~a percentage of revenues.~~seasonality, underwriting changes and other business trends. The ~~accounts receivable~~lease receivables balances consisted of the following as of September 30, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020:~~2021:

September 30,
2021 December 31,
2020

Accounts receivable $ 44,902,037 $ 32,171,255
Allowance for doubtful accounts (25,250,787 ) (22,138,541 )
Accounts receivable, net $ 19,651,250 $ 10,032,714

	September 30, 2022			December 31, 2021

Lease receivables	$	46,790,076		$	53,176,432
Allowance for doubtful accounts		(13,364,953	)		(27,703,278	)
Lease receivables, net	$	33,425,123		$	25,473,154

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 continue to accrue weekly charges until they are charged off.~~ As the ~~customer account~~lease 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 ~~$18,467,220~~$16,174,329 and ~~$27,509,893~~$56,977,427 for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2021~~2022 respectively, and ~~$4,813,162~~$18,437,746 and ~~$16,830,382~~$27,454,106 for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively.

Lease Merchandise, -net – Until all payment obligations required for ownership are satisfied under the lease agreement, ~~FlexShopper~~the Company maintains ownership of the lease merchandise. Lease merchandise consists primarily of residential furniture, consumer electronics, computers, appliances and household accessories and is recorded at cost net of accumulated depreciation. The Company depreciates leased merchandise using the straight-line method over the applicable agreement period for a consumer to acquire ownership, generally twelve months with no salvage value. Upon transfer of ownership of merchandise to customers resulting from satisfaction of their lease obligations, the 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.

Loan receivables at fair value – The ~~net leased merchandise balances consisted~~Company elected the fair value option on its entire loan receivables portfolio purchased from its bank partner. As such, loan receivables are carried at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheet with changes in fair value recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Accrued and unpaid interest and fees are included in loan receivables at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Management believes the reporting of these receivables at fair value more closely approximates the true economics of the ~~following as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:~~loan receivables.

September 30,
2021 December 31,
2020
Lease merchandise at cost $ 76,187,372 $ 64,335,971
Accumulated depreciation (38,655,591 ) (19,162,357 )
Impairment reserve (4,198,927 ) (2,351,274 )
Lease merchandise, net $ 33,332,854 $ 42,822,340

Interest and fees are discontinued when loans receivable become contractually 120 or more days past due. The Company charges-off loans at the earlier of when the loans are determined to be uncollectible or when the loans are 120 days contractually past due. Recoveries on loan receivables that were previously charged off are recognized when cash is received. Changes in the fair value of loan receivables include the impact of current period charge offs associated with these receivables.

~~Cost~~The Company estimates the fair value of ~~lease merchandise sold represents~~ the ~~undepreciated cost~~loan receivables using a discounted cash flow analysis at an individual loan level to more accurately predict future payments. The Company adjusts expected cash flows for estimated losses and servicing costs over the estimated duration of ~~rental merchandise~~the underlying assets. These adjustments are determined using historical data and include appropriate consideration of recent trends and anticipated future performance. Future cash flows are discounted using a rate of return that the Company believes a market participant would require. Model results may be adjusted by management if the Company does not believe the output reflects the fair value of the instrument, as defined under U.S. GAAP. The models are updated at each measurement date to capture any changes in internal factors such as nature, term, volume, payment trends, remaining time to maturity, and portfolio mix, as well as changes in underwriting or observed trends expected to impact future performance.

A third-party bank partner originates our credit product and initially provides all of the ~~time~~funding for the loans. The third-party sells a participation of ~~sale.~~all loans originated to the Company. FlexShopper services the loans and remits the corresponding portion of any collections to the third party. Loan revenues and fees is representative of the Company’s portion of participation in the loans.

~~Stock Based~~Stock-Based Compensation - The fair value of transactions in which ~~FlexShopper~~the Company exchanges its equity instruments for employee and non-employee services (share-based payment transactions) is recognized as ana compensation expense in the financial statements as services are performed.

Compensation expense for stock options is determined by reference to the fair value of an award on the date of grant and is ~~amortized~~recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. ~~We have~~The Company has elected to use the Black-Scholes-Merton (BSM) pricing model ~~(“BSM”)~~ to determine the fair value of all stock option awards.

Management believes that Gross Profit and Adjusted EBITDA provide relevant and useful information which is widely used by analysts, investors and competitors in our industry in assessing performance.

Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before interest, stock-based compensation, taxes, depreciation (other than depreciation of leased inventory), amortization, and one-time or non-recurring items. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides us with an understanding of one aspect of earnings before the impact of investing and financing charges and income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA may be useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance and liquidity because this measure:

●	is widely used by investors to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items excluded from the calculation of such measure, which can vary substantially from company to company;

●	is a financial measurement that is used by rating agencies, lenders and other parties to evaluate our credit worthiness; and

●	is used by our management for various purposes, including as a measure of performance and as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting.

Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure of FlexShopper’s performance that is neither required by, nor presented in accordance with, GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a substitute for GAAP metrics such as operating income/(loss), net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP.

In 2022, the average origination value per lease was higher compared to the same period last year but volume has decreased due to tightening of approval rates. The provision for doubtful accounts relative to gross lease billings and fees were 39.1% and 27.7% for the three months ending September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Operations

We promote our FlexShopper products and services across all sales channels through strategic partnerships, direct response marketing, and affiliate and internet marketing, all of which are designed to increase our lease transactions. Our advertisements emphasize such features as instant spending limits and affordable weekly payments. We believe that as the FlexShopper name gains familiarity and national recognition through our advertising efforts, we will continue to educate our customers and potential customers about the lease-to-own payment alternative as well as solidify our reputation as a leading provider of high-quality branded merchandise and services.

For each of our sales channels, FlexShopper has a marketing strategy that includes the following:

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

The Company believes it has a competitive advantage over competitors in the LTO industry by providing all three channels as a bundled package to retailers and e-retailers. Management is anticipating a rapid development of the FlexShopper business as we are able to penetrate each of our sales channels.

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

To support our anticipated growth, FlexShopper will need the availability of substantial capital resources. See the section captioned “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.

Credit Agreement

On March 6, 2015, FlexShopper, through a wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Borrower”), entered into a credit agreement (as amended from time to time and including the Fee Letter (as defined therein), the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as paying agent, various lenders from time to time party thereto and WE 2014-1, LLC, an affiliate of Waterfall Asset Management, LLC, as administrative agent and lender (the “Lender”). The Borrower is permitted to borrow funds under the Credit Agreement based on FlexShopper’s recently collected payments and the Amortized Order Value of its Eligible Leases (as such terms are defined in the Credit Agreement) less certain deductions described in the Credit Agreement. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, the Borrower may currently borrow up to ~~$47,500,000~~$82,500,000 from the Lender until the Commitment Termination Date and must repay all borrowed amounts one year thereafter, on the date that is 12 months following the Commitment Termination Date (unless such amounts become due or payable on an earlier date pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement). On January 29, 2021, pursuant to an amendment to the Credit Agreement, the Commitment Termination Date was extended to April 1, 2024, the Lender was granted a security interest in certain leases as collateral under the Credit Agreement and the interest rate charged on amounts borrowed was set at LIBOR plus 11% per annum. ~~On February 26, 2021 an amendment to the Credit Agreement was signed to extend the deadline to receive approval from a third party to enter into a Backup Servicer Agreement.~~

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

In addition, the Lender and its affiliates have a right of first refusal on certain FlexShopper transactions involving leases or other financial products. The Credit Agreement includes customary events of default, including, among others, failures to make payment of principal and interest, breaches or defaults under the terms of the Credit Agreement and related agreements entered into with the Lender, breaches of representations, warranties or certifications made by or on behalf of the Borrower in the Credit Agreement and related documents (including certain financial and expense covenants), deficiencies in the borrowing base, certain judgments against the Borrower and bankruptcy events.

Effective September 27, 2022, WE 2014-1, LLC assigned 100% of its Commitments and all Loans to Powerscourt Investments 32, LP, an affiliate of Waterfall Asset Management, LLC.

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.

Capital Resources

To date, funds derived from the sale of FlexShopper’s common stock, warrants, Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock and Series 2 Convertible Preferred Stock and the Company’s ability to borrow funds against the lease and loan portfolio have provided the liquidity and capital resources necessary to fund its operations.

Management believes that liquidity needs for ~~servicing of obligations as they come due in the normal course of business as well as for~~ future growth through ~~a period of~~ at least the next 12 months ~~from the date of issuance of this 10-Q~~ can be met 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 September 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 inis 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. Fortunately, by the end of 2021, the percentage of new customers obtained from brick and mortar locations exceeded pre-pandemic levels.

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 the pre-pandemic levels. This decreased approval rate, both online and in third party stores, coupled with the retailer closures mentioned above, significantly reduced new lease originations. In 2021, the uniqueness of the pandemic had resulted in significant growth in BNPL (buy now pay later) options that were offered to our consumer segment. Despite a return to near pre-pandemic approval rates, the Company still experienced reduced demand for its product in 2021 and 2022.

The third impact was on consumer behavior and payment patterns. The combination of stimulus payments and enhanced unemployment benefits measures ~~was~~provided by the Federal and/ or State Government throughout 2020 and early 2021 were 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. The first sign of the return to more normal payment patterns was a reduction in the elevated amount of early pay offs experienced by the Company which occurred in the middle of 2021.

Despite the availability of COVID-19 vaccines in 2021, the number of COVID-19 cases had increased at various times throughout 2021and 2022 as the result of the appearance of new variants.

As of the end of ~~September~~ 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 iswas evident in our digital marketing channels through the conversion rate of new applicants. However, the enhanced payment performance, versus our expected performance, ~~is beginning~~began 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~~been able to grow the overall size of the lease portfolio, net of early payoffs, 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.
