The Company [Abstract] | |
The Company | NOTE 1 - The Company |
Marlin Business Services Corp. (“Company”) is a bank holding company and a financial holding company regulated by the Federal Reserve Board under the Bank Holding Company Act. The Company was incorporated in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on August 5, 2003. Through its principal operating subsidiary, Marlin Leasing Corporation (“MLC”), the Company provides equipment financing solutions nationwide, primarily to small and mid-sized businesses in a segment of the equipment leasing market commonly referred to in the industry as the “small-ticket” segment. The Company finances over 100 categories of commercial equipment important to its end user customers including copiers, security systems, computers, telecommunications equipment and certain commercial and industrial equipment. In May 2000, we established AssuranceOne, Ltd., a Bermuda-based, wholly-owned captive insurance subsidiary, which enables us to reinsure the property insurance coverage for the equipment financed by MLC and Marlin Business Bank (“MBB”) for our end user customers. Effective March 12, 2008, the Company opened MBB, a commercial bank chartered by the State of Utah and a member of the Federal Reserve System. MBB serves as the Company’s primary funding source through its issuance of FDIC-insured deposits. The Company is a bank holding company and a financial holding company regulated by the Federal Reserve Board under the Bank Holding Company Act. | |
References to the “Company,” “Marlin,” “Registrant,” “we,” “us” and “our” herein refer to Marlin Business Services Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires. | |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | NOTE 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Basis of Financial Statement Presentation | |
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. MLC and MBB are managed together as a single business segment and are aggregated for financial reporting purposes as they exhibit similar economic characteristics, share the same leasing portfolio and have one product offering. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. | |
Use of Estimates | |
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are used when accounting for income recognition, the residual values of leased equipment, the allowance for credit losses, deferred initial direct costs and fees, late fee receivables, the fair value of financial instruments, self-insurance reserves, and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. | |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | |
Cash and cash equivalents include cash and interest-bearing money market funds. For purposes of the consolidated statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. | |
Restricted Interest-Earning Deposits with Banks | |
Restricted interest-earning deposits with banks consist primarily of an interest-earning trust account related to the Company’s secured debt facility. The balance also includes amounts due from securitizations representing reimbursements of servicing fees and excess spread income. | |
Net Investment in Leases and Loans | |
As required by U.S. GAAP, the Company uses the direct finance method of accounting to record its direct financing leases and related interest income. At the inception of a lease, the Company records as an asset, the aggregate future minimum lease payments receivable, plus the estimated residual value of the leased equipment, less unearned lease income. Residual values are established at lease inception based on our estimate of the expected fair value of the equipment at the end of the lease term. Residual values may be realized at lease termination from lease extensions, sales or other dispositions of leased equipment. Estimates are based on industry data, management’s experience, and historical performance. | |
The Company records an estimated residual value at lease inception for all fair market value and fixed purchase option leases based on a percentage of the equipment cost of the asset being leased. The percentages used depend on equipment type and term. In setting estimated residual values, the Company focuses its analysis primarily on the Company’s total historical and expected realization statistics pertaining to sales of equipment. In subsequent evaluations for the impairment of the booked residual values, the Company reviews historical realization statistics including lease renewals and equipment sales. Anticipated renewal income is not included in the determination of fair value; however, it is one of the ways that fair value may be realized at the end of the lease term. | |
At the end of an original lease term, lessees may choose to purchase the equipment, renew the lease or return the equipment to the Company. The Company receives income from lease renewals when the lessee elects to retain the equipment longer than the original term of the lease. This income, net of appropriate periodic reductions in the estimated residual values of the related equipment, is included in fee income as net residual income. | |
When a lessee elects to return equipment at lease termination, the equipment is transferred to other assets at the lower of its basis or fair market value. The Company generally sells returned equipment to independent third parties, rather than leasing the equipment a second time. The Company generally charges off the value of equipment in other assets for longer than 120 days. Any loss recognized on transferring equipment to other assets and any gain or loss realized on the sale or disposal of equipment to a lessee or to others is included in fee income as net residual income. | |
Based on the Company’s experience, the amount of ultimate realization of the residual value tends to relate more to the customer’s election at the end of the lease term to enter into a renewal period, to purchase the leased equipment or to return the leased equipment than it does to the equipment type. Management performs reviews of the estimated residual values and historic realization statistics no less frequently than quarterly and any impairment, if other than temporary, is recognized in the current period. | |
Initial direct costs and fees related to lease originations are deferred as part of the investment and amortized over the lease term. Unearned lease income is the amount by which the total lease receivable plus the estimated residual value exceeds the cost of the equipment. Unearned lease income, net of initial direct costs and fees, is recognized as revenue over the lease term using the effective interest method. | |
Allowance for Credit Losses | |
In accordance with the Contingencies Topic of the FASB ASC, we maintain an allowance for credit losses at an amount sufficient to absorb losses inherent in our existing lease and loan portfolios as of the reporting dates based on our projection of probable net credit losses. We evaluate our portfolios on a pooled basis, due to their composition of small balance, homogenous accounts with similar general credit risk characteristics, diversified among a large cross-section of variables including industry, geography, equipment type, obligor and vendor. | |
We generally consider both quantitative and qualitative factors in determining the allowance for credit losses. Quantitative factors considered include a migration analysis stratified by industry classification, historic delinquencies and charge-offs, and a static pool analysis of historic recoveries. A migration analysis is a technique used to estimate the likelihood that an account will progress through the various delinquency stages and ultimately charge off. As part of our quantitative analysis we may also consider specifically identified pools of leases separately from the migration analysis, whenever certain identified pools are not expected to perform consistently with their credit characteristics or the portfolio as a whole. These lease pools may be analyzed for impairment separately from the migration analysis and a specific reserve established. | |
Qualitative factors that may result in further adjustments to the quantitative analysis include items such as forecasting uncertainties, changes in the composition of our lease and loan portfolios (including geography, industry, equipment type and vendor source), seasonality, economic or business conditions and emerging trends, business practices or policies at the reporting date that are different from the periods used in the quantitative analysis. | |
The various factors used in the analysis are reviewed periodically, and no less frequently than quarterly. We then establish an allowance for credit losses for the projected probable net credit losses inherent in the portfolio based on this analysis. A provision is charged against earnings to maintain the allowance for credit losses at the appropriate level. Our policy is to generally charge-off against the allowance the estimated unrecoverable portion of accounts once they reach 120 or more days delinquent. | |
Our projections of probable net credit losses are inherently uncertain, and as a result we cannot predict with certainty the amount of such losses. Changes in economic conditions, the risk characteristics and composition of the portfolio, bankruptcy laws, and other factors could impact our actual and projected net credit losses and the related allowance for credit losses. To the extent we add new leases and loans to our portfolios, or to the degree credit quality is worse than expected, we record expense to increase the allowance for credit losses to reflect the estimated net losses inherent in our portfolios. Actual losses may vary from current estimates. | |
Property and Equipment | |
The Company records property and equipment at cost. Equipment capitalized under capital leases is recorded at the present value of the minimum lease payments due over the lease term. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets or lease term, whichever is shorter. The Company generally uses depreciable lives that range from three to seven years based on equipment type. | |
Other Assets | |
Included in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets are deferred transaction costs associated with term note securitization transactions, income taxes receivable, prepaid expenses, accrued fee income, progress payments on equipment purchased to lease and Federal Reserve Bank stock. Deferred transactions costs associated with term note securitization transactions were amortized over the estimated lives of the related term note securitization transactions using a method which approximates the effective interest method. | |
Securitizations | |
In connection with its term note securitization transactions, the Company previously established a bankruptcy remote special-purpose subsidiary (“SPE”) and issued term debt to institutional investors. These SPEs were considered variable interest entities (“VIEs”) under U.S. GAAP. The Company was required to consolidate VIEs in which it was deemed to be the primary beneficiary through having (1) power over the significant activities of the entity and (2) an obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE which were potentially significant to the VIE. The Company serviced the assets of its VIEs and retained equity and/or residual interests. Accordingly, assets and related debt of these VIEs were included in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s leases and restricted interest-earning deposits with banks were assigned as collateral for these borrowings and there was no further recourse to our general credit. Collateral in excess of these borrowings represented the Company’s maximum loss exposure. | |
Interest Income | |
Interest income is recognized under the effective interest method. The effective interest method of income recognition applies a constant rate of interest equal to the internal rate of return on each lease at inception. | |
The Company’s lease portfolio consists of homogenous small balance accounts with an average balance less than $10,000 across a large cross section of credit variables such as state, equipment type, obligor, vendor and industry category. Based on the historical payment behavior of the Company’s lease portfolio as a whole, payments are considered reasonably assured when a lease’s delinquency status is less than 90 days. Therefore, when a lease or loan is 90 days or more delinquent, the contract is classified as non-accrual and interest income recognition is discontinued. Interest income recognition resumes on a contract when the lessee makes payments sufficient to bring the contract’s status to less than 90 days delinquent. | |
Modifications resulting in renegotiated leases may include reductions in payment and extensions in term. However, such renegotiated leases are not granted concessions regarding implicit rates or reductions in total amounts due. Modifications may be granted on a one-time basis in situations that indicate the lessee is experiencing a temporary, timing issue and has a high likelihood of success with a revised payment plan. After a modification, a lease’s accrual status is based on compliance with the modified terms. | |
Fee Income | |
Fee income consists of fees for delinquent lease and loan payments, cash collected on early termination of leases and net residual income. Net residual income includes income from lease renewals and gains and losses on the realization of residual values of leased equipment disposed at the end of a lease’s term. Residual income is recognized as earned. | |
Fee income from delinquent lease payments is recognized on an accrual basis based on anticipated collection rates. At a minimum of every quarter, an analysis of anticipated collection rates is performed based on updates to collection history. Adjustments in the anticipated collection rate assumptions are made as needed based on this analysis. Other fees are recognized when received. | |
Insurance Income | |
Insurance income is recognized on an accrual basis as earned over the term of each lease. Generally, insurance payments that are 120 days or more past due are charged against income. Ceding commissions, losses and loss adjustment expenses are recorded in the period incurred and netted against insurance income. | |
Loss on Derivatives | |
Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments are recognized immediately in loss on derivatives. | |
Other Income | |
Other income includes various administrative transaction fees and fees received from lease syndications, recognized as earned. | |
Securities Available for Sale | |
Securities available for sale consist of mutual funds and municipal bonds that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Unrealized holding gains or losses of all securities available for sale, net of related deferred income taxes, are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices in active markets, if available. If quoted prices in active markets are not available, fair values are based on prices obtained from third-party pricing vendors. See Note 11 for more information on fair value measurement of securities. | |
Initial Direct Costs and Fees | |
We defer initial direct costs incurred and fees received to originate our leases and loans in accordance with the Receivables Topic and the Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs Subtopic of the FASB ASC. The initial direct costs and fees we defer are part of the net investment in leases and loans and are amortized to interest income using the effective interest method. We defer third-party commission costs, as well as certain internal costs directly related to the origination activity. Costs subject to deferral include evaluating each prospective customer’s financial condition, evaluating and recording guarantees and other security arrangements, negotiating terms, preparing and processing documents and closing each transaction. The fees we defer are documentation fees collected at inception. The realization of the initial direct costs, net of fees deferred, is predicated on the net future cash flows generated by our lease and loan portfolios. | |
Common Stock and Equity | |
On November 2, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the 2007 Repurchase Plan, under which, the Company was authorized to repurchase up to $15 million in value of its outstanding shares of common stock. On July 29, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the 2014 Repurchase Plan to replace the 2007 Repurchase Plan. Under the 2014 Repurchase Plan, the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $15 million in value of its outstanding shares of common stock on the open market. The par value of the shares repurchased is charged to common stock with the excess of the purchase price over par charged against any available additional paid-in capital. | |
Financing Related Costs | |
Financing related costs primarily consist of bank commitment fees paid to our financing sources on the unused portion of loan facility. These fees are recognized as incurred. | |
Stock-Based Compensation | |
The Compensation—Stock Compensation Topic of the FASB ASC establishes fair value as the measurement objective in accounting for share-based payment arrangements and requires all entities to apply a fair-value-based measurement method in accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees and non-employees, except for equity instruments held by employee share ownership plans. | |
The Company measures stock-based compensation cost at grant date, based on the fair value of the awards ultimately expected to vest. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period. We generally use the Black-Scholes valuation model to measure the fair value of our stock options utilizing various assumptions with respect to expected holding period, risk-free interest rates, stock price volatility, and dividend yield. The assumptions are based on management’s judgment concerning future events. | |
The fair value calculations for the one-time stock option exchange program the Company effected through an October 28, 2009 amendment to its 2003 Equity Compensation Plan were based on a binomial valuation model which considered many variables, such as the volatility of our stock and the expected term of an option, including consideration of the ratio of stock price to the exercise price at which exercise is expected to occur. The binomial valuation model was used for both the surrendered stock options and the new replacement options under the stock option exchange program. | |
As required by U.S. GAAP, the Company uses its judgment in estimating the amount of awards that are expected to be forfeited, with subsequent revisions to the assumptions if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The vesting of certain restricted shares may be accelerated to a minimum of three years based on achievement of various individual performance measures. Acceleration of expense for awards based on individual performance factors occurs when the achievement of the performance criteria is determined. | |
Non-forfeitable dividends paid on shares of restricted stock are recorded to retained earnings for shares that are expected to vest and to compensation expense for shares that are not expected to vest. | |
Self-Insurance | |
Beginning in 2014, the Company assumed financial risk for providing health care benefits to its employees through a self-insured group health plan. We estimate the liabilities associated with this risk by considering historical claims experience. | |
Income Taxes | |
The Income Taxes Topic of the FASB ASC requires the use of the asset and liability method under which deferred taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities, given the provisions of the enacted tax laws. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities and projected future taxable income in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not the Company will realize the benefits of these deductible differences. | |
Significant management judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities and any necessary valuation allowance recorded against net deferred tax assets. The process involves summarizing temporary differences resulting from the different treatment of items, such as leases, for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities which are included within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Management then assesses the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income or tax carry-back availability and, to the extent our management believes recovery is not likely, a valuation allowance is established. To the extent that we establish a valuation allowance in a period, an expense is recorded within the tax provision in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. | |
At December 31, 2014 and 2013, there were no uncertain tax positions. The periods subject to examination for the Company’s federal return include the 2011 tax year to the present. The Company files state income tax returns in various states which may have different statutes of limitations. Generally, state income tax returns for the years 2011 through the present are subject to examination. As of December 31, 2014, the Company has a net receivable balance of $0.9 million, due to estimated payments exceeding the calculated liability. | |
The Company records penalties and accrued interest related to taxes, including penalties and interest related to uncertain tax positions, in income tax expense. Such adjustments have historically been minimal and immaterial to our financial results. | |
Earnings Per Share | |
The Company’s restricted stock awards are paid non-forfeitable common stock dividends and thus meet the criteria of participating securities. Accordingly, earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated using the two-class method, under which earnings are allocated to both common shares and participating securities. All shares of restricted stock are deducted from the weighted average shares outstanding for the computation of basic EPS. | |
Diluted EPS is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period including the dilutive impact of the exercise or conversion of common stock equivalents, such as stock options, into shares of common stock as if those securities were exercised or converted. | |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | |
In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. Under the new guidance, a disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations only if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. This guidance also changes an entity’s requirements when presenting, for each comparative period, the assets and liabilities of a disposal group that includes a discontinued operation. A discontinued operation may include a component of an entity, or a business or nonprofit activity. The guidance is effective interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The adoption of the new requirements is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated earnings, financial position or cash flows of the Company. | |
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. The adoption of the new requirements is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated balance sheet, statement of operations, or statement of cash flows of the Company. | |
In June 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-12, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. Under the new guidance, it is required that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. This guidance also requires that the performance target not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. The guidance is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of the new requirements is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated balance sheet, statement of operations, or statement of cash flows of the Company. | |
In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. Under the new guidance, an entity’s management should evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. The guidance is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The adoption of the new requirements is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated balance sheet, statement of operations, or statement of cash flows of the Company. | |

Concentrations of Risk [Abstract] | |
Concentrations of Risk | NOTE 4 - Concentrations of Risk |
As of December 31, 2014, leases approximating 12%, 9% and 9% of the net investment balance of leases by the Company were located in the states of California, Florida and Texas , respectively. No other state accounted for more than 8% of the net investment balance of leases owned and serviced by the Company as of December 31, 2014. As of December 31, 2014, no single vendor source accounted for more than 2% of the net investment balance of leases owned by the Company. The largest single obligor accounted for less than 1% of the net investment balance of leases owned by the Company as of December 31, 2014. Although the Company’s portfolio of leases includes lessees located throughout the United States, such lessees’ ability to honor their contracts may be substantially dependent on economic conditions in these states. All such contracts are collateralized by the related equipment. The Company leases to a variety of different industries, including the medical, retail, service, manufacturing and restaurant industries, among others. To the extent that the economic or regulatory conditions prevalent in such industries change, the lessees’ ability to honor their lease obligations may be adversely impacted. As of December 31, 2014, copiers comprised 80.2% of the estimated residual value of leased equipment. No other group of equipment represented more than 10% of equipment residuals as of December 31, 2014. Improvements and other changes in technology could adversely impact the Company’s ability to realize the recorded value of this equipment. There were no impairments of estimated residual value recorded during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 or 2012. |

Net investments in finance receivables are generally charged-off when they are contractually past due for 120 or more days. Income recognition is discontinued on leases or loans when a default on monthly payment exists for a period of 90 days or more. Income recognition resumes when a lease or loan becomes less than 90 days delinquent. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, there were no finance receivables past due 90 days or more and still accruing. | |||||||||
Net charge-offs for the year ended December 31, 2014 were $9.0 million, or 1.50% of average total finance receivables, compared to $7.6 million, or 1.41% of average total finance receivables, for the year ended December 31, 2013. The increase in net charge-offs during year ended December 31, 2014 compared to recent years is primarily due to the growth in average total finance receivables, the ongoing seasoning of the portfolio as reflected in the mix of origination vintages and the mix of credit profiles. Our key credit quality indicator is delinquency status. |

Term Note Securitizations | |||||||||
07-1 Transaction — On October 24, 2007, the Company closed a $440.5 million term note securitization. In connection with the 2007-1 transaction, seven classes of fixed-rate notes were issued to investors. The weighted average interest coupon approximated 5.70% over the term of the financing. After the effects of hedging and other transaction costs are considered, total interest expense on the 2007-1 term transaction averaged approximately 6.32% over the term of the financing. On April 16, 2012, the Company elected to exercise its call option and paid off the remaining $16.9 million of its 2007 term note securitization. | |||||||||
10-1 Transaction — On February 12, 2010, the Company completed an $80.7 million term asset-backed securitization, of which it elected to defer the issuance of subordinated notes totaling $12.5 million. The two senior classes of notes issued under the securitization constituted eligible collateral under the Federal Reserve Bank of New York's Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility (“TALF”) program. This financing provided the Company with fixed-cost borrowing and was recorded in long-term borrowings in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Total interest expense on the 2010-1 term transaction averaged approximately 3.13% over the term of the financing. On December 17, 2012, the Company elected to exercise its call option and paid off the remaining $3.5 million of its 2010 term note securitization. | |||||||||
Long-term Loan Facilities | |||||||||
On October 9, 2009, Marlin Business Services Corp.’s wholly-owned subsidiary, MRC, closed on a $75.0 million, three-year committed loan facility with the lender finance division of Wells Fargo Capital Finance. The facility is secured by a lien on MRC’s assets and is supported by guaranties from Marlin Business Services Corp. and MLC. Advances under the facility are made pursuant to a borrowing base formula, and the proceeds are used to fund lease originations. On October 3, 2014, the facility was amended to extend the maturity date to January 7, 2015. On January 7, 2015, the facility was further amended to extend the maturity date to April 8, 2015. An event of default, such as non-payment of amounts when due under the loan agreement or a breach of covenants, may accelerate the maturity date of the facility. | |||||||||
On September 24, 2010, the Company’s subsidiary, Marlin Leasing Receivables XIII LLC (“MLR XIII”), closed on a $50.0 million three-year committed loan facility with Key Equipment Finance Inc. The facility is secured by a lien on MLR XIII’s assets. Advances under the facility are made pursuant to a borrowing base formula, and the proceeds are used to fund lease originations. The maturity date of the facility was September 23, 2013. On March 15, 2013, the Company elected to exercise its option to repay the remaining $1.3 million of the facility. | |||||||||
Financial Covenants | |||||||||
The Company’s secured borrowing arrangements contain numerous covenants, restrictions and default provisions that it must comply with in order to obtain funding through the facility and to avoid an event of default.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures about the Fair Value of Financial Instruments | NOTE 11 - Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures about the Fair Value of Financial Instruments | ||||||||||||||
Fair Value Measurements | |||||||||||||||
The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB ASC establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements. Its provisions do not apply to fair value measurements for purposes of lease classification and measurement, which is addressed in the Leases Topic of the FASB ASC. | |||||||||||||||
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability at the measurement date (exit price). A three-level valuation hierarchy is required for disclosure of fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the measurement in its entirety. | |||||||||||||||
The three levels are defined as follows: | |||||||||||||||
Level 1 – Inputs to the valuation are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. | |||||||||||||||
Level 2 – Inputs to the valuation may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active or inactive markets, and inputs other than quoted prices, such as interest rates and yield curves, which are observable for the asset or liability for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. | |||||||||||||||
Level 3 – Inputs to the valuation are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. Level 3 inputs shall be used to measure fair value only to the extent that observable inputs are not available. | |||||||||||||||
The Company characterizes active markets as those where transaction volumes are sufficient to provide objective pricing information, such as an exchange traded price. Inactive markets are typically characterized by low transaction volumes, and price quotations that vary substantially among market participants or are not based on current information. | |||||||||||||||
The Company’s balances measured at fair value on a recurring basis include the following as of December 31, 2014 and 2013: | |||||||||||||||

At this time, the Company has not elected to report any assets and liabilities using the fair value option available under the Financial Instruments Topic of the FASB ASC. There have been no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. | |||||||||||||||
Disclosures about the Fair Value of Financial Instruments | |||||||||||||||
The Financial Instruments Topic of the FASB ASC requires the disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments including those financial instruments not measured at fair value on a recurring basis. This requirement excludes certain instruments, such as the net investment in leases and all nonfinancial instruments. | |||||||||||||||
The fair values shown below have been derived, in part, by management’s assumptions, the estimated amount and timing of future cash flows and estimated discount rates. Valuation techniques involve uncertainties and require assumptions and judgments regarding prepayments, credit risk and discount rates. Changes in these assumptions will result in different valuation estimates. The fair values presented would not necessarily be realized in an immediate sale. Derived fair value estimates cannot necessarily be substantiated by comparison to independent markets or to other companies’ fair value information. | |||||||||||||||
The following summarizes the carrying amount and estimated fair value of the Company’s financial instruments: | |||||||||||||||

The paragraphs which follow describe the methods and assumptions used in estimating the fair values of financial instruments. | |||||||||||||||
(a) Cash and Cash Equivalents | |||||||||||||||
The carrying amounts of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents approximate fair value as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, because they bear interest at market rates and had maturities of less than 90 days at the time of purchase. This fair value measurement is classified as Level 1. | |||||||||||||||
(b) Restricted Interest-Earning Deposits with Banks | |||||||||||||||
The Company maintains an interest-earning trust account related to our secured debt facility. The book value of such accounts is included in restricted interest-earning deposits with banks on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet. These accounts earn a floating market rate of interest which results in a fair value approximating the carrying amount at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. This fair value measurement is classified as Level 1. | |||||||||||||||
(c) Securities Available for Sale | |||||||||||||||
Securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon various sources of market pricing. Securities are classified within the fair value hierarchy after giving consideration to the activity level in the market for the security type and the observability of the inputs used to determine the fair value. When available, the Company uses quoted prices in active markets and classifies such instruments within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Level 1 securities include mutual funds. When instruments are traded in secondary markets and quoted market prices do not exist for such securities, the Company relies on prices obtained from third-party pricing vendors and classifies these instruments within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The third-party vendors use a variety of methods when pricing securities that incorporate relevant market data to arrive at an estimate of what a buyer in the marketplace would pay for a security under current market conditions. Level 2 securities include municipal bonds. | |||||||||||||||
(d) Loans | |||||||||||||||
Loans are primarily comprised of participating interests acquired through membership in a non-profit, multi-financial institution consortium serving as a catalyst for community development by offering financing for affordable, quality housing to low- and moderate-income residents. Such loans help MBB satisfy its obligations under the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977. The fair value of the Company’s loans approximates the carrying amount at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. This estimate was based on recent comparable sales transactions with consideration of current market rates. This fair value measurement is classified as Level 2. | |||||||||||||||
(e) Deposits | |||||||||||||||
Deposit liabilities with no defined maturity such as MMDA deposits have a fair value equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amount). Fair value for certificates of deposits is estimated by discounting cash flows at current rates paid by the Company for similar certificates of deposit of the same or similar remaining maturities. This fair value measurement is classified as Level 2. | |||||||||||||||

In accordance with U.S. GAAP, uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return are subject to potential financial statement recognition based on prescribed recognition and measurement criteria. Based on our evaluation, we concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in our financial statements. For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, there were no uncertain tax positions. We do not expect our unrecognized tax positions to change significantly over the next 12 months. | ||||||||||||
The periods subject to examination for the Company’s federal return include the 2011 tax year to the present. The Company files state income tax returns in various states which may have different statutes of limitations. Generally, state income tax returns for the years 2011 through the present are subject to examination. No material income tax interest or penalties were incurred for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 or 2012. | ||||||||||||
Deferred income tax expense results principally from the use of different revenue and expense recognition methods for tax and financial accounting purposes, primarily related to lease accounting.

Earnings Per Common Share ("EPS") | NOTE 13 - Earnings Per Common Share | ||||||||||
The Company’s restricted stock awards are paid non-forfeitable common stock dividends and thus meet the criteria of participating securities. Accordingly, EPS has been calculated using the two-class method, under which earnings are allocated to both common stock and participating securities. | |||||||||||
Basic EPS has been computed by dividing net income allocated to common stock by the weighted average common shares used in computing basic EPS. For the computation of basic EPS, all shares of restricted stock have been deducted from the weighted average shares outstanding. | |||||||||||
Diluted EPS has been computed by dividing net income allocated to common stock by the weighted average number of common shares used in computing basic EPS, further adjusted by including the dilutive impact of the exercise or conversion of common stock equivalents, such as stock options, into shares of common stock as if those securities were exercised or converted. | |||||||||||

Stockholders’ Equity | |||||||||||||||
On November 2, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the 2007 Repurchase Plan, under which, the Company was authorized to repurchase up to $15 million in value of its outstanding shares of common stock. On July 29, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the 2014 Repurchase Plan to replace the 2007 Repurchase Plan. Under the 2014 Repurchase Plan, the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $15 million in value of its outstanding shares of common stock. This authority may be exercised from time to time and in such amounts as market conditions warrant. Any shares purchased under this plan are returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares of common stock. The repurchases may be made on the open market, in block trades or otherwise. The program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The repurchases are funded using the Company’s working capital. | |||||||||||||||
During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company purchased 113,884 shares of its common stock in the open market under the 2007 Repurchase Plan at an average cost of $19.66 per share and 97,507 shares of its common stock in the open market under the 2014 Repurchase Plan at an average cost of $19.08 per share. The Company purchased 231 shares of its common stock at an average cost of $18.52 per share during the year ended December 31, 2013 under the 2007 Repurchase Plan. The Company purchased 33,546 shares of its common stock at an average cost of $17.91 per share during the year ended December 31, 2012 under the 2007 Repurchase Plan. At December 31, 2014, the Company had $ 13.4 million remaining in the 2014 Repurchase Plan. | |||||||||||||||
In addition to the repurchases described above, pursuant to the Company’s Equity Plans, participants may have shares withheld to cover income taxes. There were 71,673, 53,757 and 111,769 shares repurchased to cover income tax withholding in connection with shares granted under the Equity Plans during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, at average per-share costs of $22.64 , $21.65 and $14.21 , respectively. | |||||||||||||||
Regulatory Capital Requirements | |||||||||||||||
Through its issuance of FDIC-insured deposits, MBB serves as the Company’s primary funding source. Over time, MBB may offer other products and services to the Company’s customer base. MBB operates as a Utah state-chartered, Federal Reserve member commercial bank, insured by the FDIC. As a state-chartered Federal Reserve member bank, MBB is supervised by both the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco and the Utah Department of Financial Institutions. | |||||||||||||||
MBB is subject to capital adequacy guidelines issued by the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (the "FFIEC"). These risk-based capital and leverage guidelines make regulatory capital requirements more sensitive to differences in risk profiles among banking organizations and consider off-balance sheet exposures in determining capital adequacy. The FFIEC and/or the U.S. Congress may determine to increase capital requirements in the future due to the current economic environment. Under the rules and regulations of the FFIEC, at least half of a bank's total capital is required to be "Tier 1 Capital" as defined in the regulations, comprised of common equity, retained earnings and a limited amount of non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock. The remaining capital, "Tier 2 Capital," as defined in the regulations, may consist of other preferred stock, a limited amount of term subordinated debt or a limited amount of the reserve for possible credit losses. The FFIEC has also adopted minimum leverage ratios for banks, which are calculated by dividing Tier 1 Capital by total quarterly average assets. Recognizing that the risk-based capital standards principally address credit risk rather than interest rate, liquidity, operational or other risks, many banks are expected to maintain capital in excess of the minimum standards. The Company plans to provide the necessary capital to maintain MBB at “well-capitalized” status as defined by banking regulations. MBB’s Tier 1 Capital balance at December 31, 2014 was $116.0 million, which met all capital requirements to which MBB is subject and qualified MBB for “well-capitalized” status. Bank holding companies are required to comply with the Federal Reserve Board’s risk-based capital guidelines that require a minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of 8%. At least half of the total capital is required to be Tier 1 Capital. In addition to the risk-based capital guidelines, the Federal Reserve Board has adopted a minimum leverage capital ratio under which a bank holding company must maintain a ratio of Tier 1 Capital to average total consolidated assets of at least 3% in the case of a bank holding company which has the highest regulatory examination rating and is not contemplating significant growth or expansion. All other bank holding companies are expected to maintain a leverage capital ratio of at least 4%. At December 31, 2014, Marlin Business Services Corp. also exceeded its regulatory capital requirements and was considered “well-capitalized” as defined by federal banking regulations. | |||||||||||||||
The following table sets forth the Tier 1 leverage ratio, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio and total risk-based capital ratio for Marlin Business Services Corp. and MBB at December 31, 2014. | |||||||||||||||

(1) MBB is required to maintain “well-capitalized” status and must also maintain a total risk-based capital ratio greater than 15% pursuant to an agreement entered into by and among MBB, the Company, MLC and the FDIC in conjunction with the opening of MBB (the “FDIC Agreement”). | |||||||||||||||
Prompt Corrective Action. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”) requires the federal regulators to take prompt corrective action against any undercapitalized institution. Five capital categories have been established under federal banking regulations: well-capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized. Well-capitalized institutions significantly exceed the required minimum level for each relevant capital measure. Adequately capitalized institutions include depository institutions that meet but do not significantly exceed the required minimum level for each relevant capital measure. Undercapitalized institutions consist of those that fail to meet the required minimum level for one or more relevant capital measures. Significantly undercapitalized characterizes depository institutions with capital levels significantly below the minimum requirements for any relevant capital measure. Critically undercapitalized refers to depository institutions with minimal capital and at serious risk for government seizure. | |||||||||||||||
Under certain circumstances, a well-capitalized, adequately capitalized or undercapitalized institution may be treated as if the institution were in the next lower capital category. A depository institution is generally prohibited from making capital distributions, including paying dividends, or paying management fees to a holding company if the institution would thereafter be undercapitalized. Institutions that are adequately capitalized but not well-capitalized cannot accept, renew or roll over brokered deposits except with a waiver from the FDIC and are subject to restrictions on the interest rates that can be paid on such deposits. Undercapitalized institutions may not accept, renew or roll over brokered deposits. | |||||||||||||||
The federal bank regulatory agencies are permitted or, in certain cases, required to take certain actions with respect to institutions falling within one of the three undercapitalized categories. Depending on the level of an institution’s capital, the agency’s corrective powers include, among other things: | |||||||||||||||
• prohibiting the payment of principal and interest on subordinated debt; | |||||||||||||||
• prohibiting the holding company from making distributions without prior regulatory approval; | |||||||||||||||
• placing limits on asset growth and restrictions on activities; | |||||||||||||||
• placing additional restrictions on transactions with affiliates; | |||||||||||||||
• restricting the interest rate the institution may pay on deposits; | |||||||||||||||
• prohibiting the institution from accepting deposits from correspondent banks; and | |||||||||||||||
• in the most severe cases, appointing a conservator or receiver for the institution. | |||||||||||||||
A banking institution that is undercapitalized is required to submit a capital restoration plan, and such a plan will not be accepted unless, among other things, the banking institution’s holding company guarantees the plan up to a certain specified amount. Any such guarantee from a depository institution’s holding company is entitled to a priority of payment in bankruptcy. | |||||||||||||||
Pursuant to the FDIC Agreement entered into in conjunction with the opening of MBB, MBB must keep its total risk-based capital ratio above 15%. MBB’s total risk-based capital ratio of 19.44% at December 31, 2014 exceeded the threshold for “well capitalized” status under the applicable laws and regulations, and also exceeded the 15% minimum total risk-based capital ratio required in the FDIC Agreement. | |||||||||||||||
Dividends. The Federal Reserve Board has issued policy statements requiring insured banks and bank holding companies to have an established assessment process for maintaining capital commensurate with their overall risk profile. Such assessment process may affect the ability of the organizations to pay dividends. Although generally organizations may pay dividends only out of current operating earnings, dividends may be paid if the distribution is prudent relative to the organization’s financial position and risk profile, after consideration of current and prospective economic conditions. | |||||||||||||||
In addition to the Company’s regular quarterly dividend, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a special cash dividend of $2.00 per share on September 4, 2013. The special dividend was paid on September 26, 2013 to shareholders of record on the close of business on September 16, 2013, which resulted in a dividend payment of approximately $26.0 million |

Stock-Based Compensation [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Stock-Based Compensation | NOTE 15 - Stock-Based Compensation | |||||||||||||||||||||
Under the terms of the Company’s 2014 Equity Compensation Plan (approved by the Company’s shareholders on June 3, 2014) (the “2014 Plan”), employees, certain consultants and advisors and non-employee members of the Company’s Board of Directors have the opportunity to receive incentive and nonqualified grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and other equity-based awards as approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. These award programs are used to attract, retain and motivate employees and to encourage individuals in key management roles to retain stock. The Company has a policy of issuing new shares to satisfy awards under the 2014 Plan. The aggregate number of shares under the 2014 Plan that may be issued pursuant to stock options or restricted stock grants is 1,200,000 with not more than 1,000,000 of such shares shall be available for issuance as restricted stock grants. There were 1,084,920 shares available for future grants under the 2014 Plan as of December 31, 2014, of which 884,920 shares were available to be issued as restricted stock grants. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Total stock-based compensation expense was $2.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. Total stock-based compensation expense was $2.6 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. Excess tax benefits from stock-based payment arrangements increased cash provided by financing activities and decreased cash provided by operating activities by $0.8 million, $1.1 million and $0.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Stock Options | ||||||||||||||||||||||
In previous years, stock option awards were issued as part of the Company’s overall compensation strategy. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Option awards were generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of the grant and have 7- to 10-year contractual terms. All options issued contain service conditions based on the participant’s continued service with the Company, and provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control as defined in the 2014 Plan. Employee stock options generally vest over four years. In previous years, the Company also issued stock options to independent directors. These options generally vest in one year. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
There were no stock options granted during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

During the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized total compensation expense related to options of $0.1 million, $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
There were 14,469 , 127,957 and 89,900 stock options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The total pretax intrinsic value of stock options exercised was $0.1 million, $1.7 million and $0.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

The aggregate intrinsic value in the preceding table represents the total pretax intrinsic value, based on the Company’s closing stock price of $20.53 as of December 31, 2014, which would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options as of that date. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
As of December 31, 2014, there was no future compensation cost related to non-vested stock options not yet recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations based on the most probable performance assumptions. As of December 31, 2014, $0.5 million of additional potential compensation cost related to non-vested stock options has not been recognized due to performance targets not being achieved. However, in certain circumstances, these options may be subject to vesting prior to their expiration dates. The weighted average remaining term of these options is approximately 1.1 years. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Restricted Stock Awards | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Restricted stock awards provide that, during the applicable vesting periods, the shares awarded may not be sold or transferred by the participant. The vesting period for restricted stock awards generally ranges from three to 10 years. All awards issued contain service conditions based on the participant’s continued service with the Company, and provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control as defined in the 2014 Plan. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
The vesting of certain restricted shares may be accelerated to a minimum of three years based on achievement of various individual performance measures. Acceleration of expense for awards based on individual performance factors occurs when the achievement of the performance criteria is determined. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
In addition, the Company has issued certain shares under a Management Stock Ownership Program. Under this program, restrictions on the shares lapse at the end of 10 years but may lapse (vest) in a minimum of three years if the employee continues in service at the Company and owns a matching number of other common shares in addition to the restricted shares. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Of the total restricted stock awards granted during the year ended December 31, 2014, 44,979 shares may be subject to accelerated vesting based on individual performance factors; no shares have vesting contingent upon performance factors. Vesting was accelerated in 2014, 2013 and 2012 on certain awards based on the achievement of certain performance criteria determined annually, as described below. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company also issues restricted stock to non-employee independent directors. These shares generally vest in seven years from the grant date or six months following the director’s termination from Board of Directors service. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

During the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company granted restricted stock awards with grant date fair values totaling $2.2 million, $3.3 million and $1.4 million, respectively. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
As vesting occurs, or is deemed likely to occur, compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period and additional paid-in capital is increased. The Company recognized $2.0 million, $2.4 million and $2.5 million of compensation expense related to restricted stock for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Of the $2.0 million total compensation expense related to restricted stock for the year ended December 31, 2014, approximately $0.6 million related to accelerated vesting during the first quarter of 2014, based on the achievement of certain performance criteria determined annually. Of the $2.4 million total compensation expense related to restricted stock for the year ended December 31, 2013, approximately $0.4 million related to accelerated vesting during the first quarter of 2013, which was also based on the achievement of certain performance criteria determined annually. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
As of December 31, 2014, there was $3.6 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested restricted stock compensation scheduled to be recognized over a weighted average period of 4.0 years. In the event individual performance targets are achieved, $1.4 million of the unrecognized compensation cost would accelerate to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.9 years. In addition, certain of the awards granted may result in the issuance of 44,198 additional shares of stock if achievement of certain targets is greater than 100%. The expense related to the additional shares awarded will be dependent on the Company’s stock price when the achievement level is determined. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
The fair values of shares that vested during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 were $5.4 million, $3.5 million and $4.7 million, respectively. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Employee Stock Purchase Plan | ||||||||||||||||||||||
In May 2012, the Company’s shareholders approved the adoption of the Company’s 2012 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2012 ESPP”). Under the terms of the 2012 ESPP, employees have the opportunity to set aside up to 10% of their compensation (subject to certain maximums) and to purchase shares of common stock during designated offering periods at a price equal to the lesser of 95% of the fair market value per share on the first day of the offering period or the fair market value per share on the purchase date. The aggregate number of shares that may be issued under the 2012 ESPP is 140,000. During the years ended 2014 and 2013 14,428 and 14,727 shares, respectively, of common stock were sold for $0.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively, pursuant to the terms of the 2012 ESPP.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies) | 12 Months Ended |
Dec. 31, 2014 | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Basis of Financial Statement Presentation |
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. MLC and MBB are managed together as a single business segment and are aggregated for financial reporting purposes as they exhibit similar economic characteristics, share the same leasing portfolio and have one product offering. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. | |
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Use of Estimates |
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are used when accounting for income recognition, the residual values of leased equipment, the allowance for credit losses, deferred initial direct costs and fees, late fee receivables, the fair value of financial instruments, self-insurance reserves, and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. | |
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Unrestricted Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Cash and Cash Equivalents |
Cash and cash equivalents include cash and interest-bearing money market funds. For purposes of the consolidated statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. | |
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Restricted Interest-Earning Deposits with Banks |
Restricted interest-earning deposits with banks consist primarily of an interest-earning trust account related to the Company’s secured debt facility. The balance also includes amounts due from securitizations representing reimbursements of servicing fees and excess spread income. | |
Net Investment in Leases and Loans, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Net Investment in Leases and Loans |
As required by U.S. GAAP, the Company uses the direct finance method of accounting to record its direct financing leases and related interest income. At the inception of a lease, the Company records as an asset, the aggregate future minimum lease payments receivable, plus the estimated residual value of the leased equipment, less unearned lease income. Residual values are established at lease inception based on our estimate of the expected fair value of the equipment at the end of the lease term. Residual values may be realized at lease termination from lease extensions, sales or other dispositions of leased equipment. Estimates are based on industry data, management’s experience, and historical performance. | |
The Company records an estimated residual value at lease inception for all fair market value and fixed purchase option leases based on a percentage of the equipment cost of the asset being leased. The percentages used depend on equipment type and term. In setting estimated residual values, the Company focuses its analysis primarily on the Company’s total historical and expected realization statistics pertaining to sales of equipment. In subsequent evaluations for the impairment of the booked residual values, the Company reviews historical realization statistics including lease renewals and equipment sales. Anticipated renewal income is not included in the determination of fair value; however, it is one of the ways that fair value may be realized at the end of the lease term. | |
At the end of an original lease term, lessees may choose to purchase the equipment, renew the lease or return the equipment to the Company. The Company receives income from lease renewals when the lessee elects to retain the equipment longer than the original term of the lease. This income, net of appropriate periodic reductions in the estimated residual values of the related equipment, is included in fee income as net residual income. | |
When a lessee elects to return equipment at lease termination, the equipment is transferred to other assets at the lower of its basis or fair market value. The Company generally sells returned equipment to independent third parties, rather than leasing the equipment a second time. The Company generally charges off the value of equipment in other assets for longer than 120 days. Any loss recognized on transferring equipment to other assets and any gain or loss realized on the sale or disposal of equipment to a lessee or to others is included in fee income as net residual income. | |
Based on the Company’s experience, the amount of ultimate realization of the residual value tends to relate more to the customer’s election at the end of the lease term to enter into a renewal period, to purchase the leased equipment or to return the leased equipment than it does to the equipment type. Management performs reviews of the estimated residual values and historic realization statistics no less frequently than quarterly and any impairment, if other than temporary, is recognized in the current period. | |
Initial direct costs and fees related to lease originations are deferred as part of the investment and amortized over the lease term. Unearned lease income is the amount by which the total lease receivable plus the estimated residual value exceeds the cost of the equipment. Unearned lease income, net of initial direct costs and fees, is recognized as revenue over the lease term using the effective interest method. | |
Allowance for Credit Losses, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Allowance for Credit Losses |
In accordance with the Contingencies Topic of the FASB ASC, we maintain an allowance for credit losses at an amount sufficient to absorb losses inherent in our existing lease and loan portfolios as of the reporting dates based on our projection of probable net credit losses. We evaluate our portfolios on a pooled basis, due to their composition of small balance, homogenous accounts with similar general credit risk characteristics, diversified among a large cross-section of variables including industry, geography, equipment type, obligor and vendor. | |
We generally consider both quantitative and qualitative factors in determining the allowance for credit losses. Quantitative factors considered include a migration analysis stratified by industry classification, historic delinquencies and charge-offs, and a static pool analysis of historic recoveries. A migration analysis is a technique used to estimate the likelihood that an account will progress through the various delinquency stages and ultimately charge off. As part of our quantitative analysis we may also consider specifically identified pools of leases separately from the migration analysis, whenever certain identified pools are not expected to perform consistently with their credit characteristics or the portfolio as a whole. These lease pools may be analyzed for impairment separately from the migration analysis and a specific reserve established. | |
Qualitative factors that may result in further adjustments to the quantitative analysis include items such as forecasting uncertainties, changes in the composition of our lease and loan portfolios (including geography, industry, equipment type and vendor source), seasonality, economic or business conditions and emerging trends, business practices or policies at the reporting date that are different from the periods used in the quantitative analysis. | |
The various factors used in the analysis are reviewed periodically, and no less frequently than quarterly. We then establish an allowance for credit losses for the projected probable net credit losses inherent in the portfolio based on this analysis. A provision is charged against earnings to maintain the allowance for credit losses at the appropriate level. Our policy is to generally charge-off against the allowance the estimated unrecoverable portion of accounts once they reach 120 or more days delinquent. | |
Our projections of probable net credit losses are inherently uncertain, and as a result we cannot predict with certainty the amount of such losses. Changes in economic conditions, the risk characteristics and composition of the portfolio, bankruptcy laws, and other factors could impact our actual and projected net credit losses and the related allowance for credit losses. To the extent we add new leases and loans to our portfolios, or to the degree credit quality is worse than expected, we record expense to increase the allowance for credit losses to reflect the estimated net losses inherent in our portfolios. Actual losses may vary from current estimates. | |
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Property and Equipment |
The Company records property and equipment at cost. Equipment capitalized under capital leases is recorded at the present value of the minimum lease payments due over the lease term. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets or lease term, whichever is shorter. The Company generally uses depreciable lives that range from three to seven years based on equipment type. | |
Other Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Other Assets |
Included in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets are deferred transaction costs associated with term note securitization transactions, income taxes receivable, prepaid expenses, accrued fee income, progress payments on equipment purchased to lease and Federal Reserve Bank stock. Deferred transactions costs associated with term note securitization transactions were amortized over the estimated lives of the related term note securitization transactions using a method which approximates the effective interest method. | |
Securitizations, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Securitizations |
In connection with its term note securitization transactions, the Company previously established a bankruptcy remote special-purpose subsidiary (“SPE”) and issued term debt to institutional investors. These SPEs were considered variable interest entities (“VIEs”) under U.S. GAAP. The Company was required to consolidate VIEs in which it was deemed to be the primary beneficiary through having (1) power over the significant activities of the entity and (2) an obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE which were potentially significant to the VIE. The Company serviced the assets of its VIEs and retained equity and/or residual interests. Accordingly, assets and related debt of these VIEs were included in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s leases and restricted interest-earning deposits with banks were assigned as collateral for these borrowings and there was no further recourse to our general credit. Collateral in excess of these borrowings represented the Company’s maximum loss exposure. | |
Interest Income Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Interest Income |
Interest income is recognized under the effective interest method. The effective interest method of income recognition applies a constant rate of interest equal to the internal rate of return on each lease at inception. | |
The Company’s lease portfolio consists of homogenous small balance accounts with an average balance less than $10,000 across a large cross section of credit variables such as state, equipment type, obligor, vendor and industry category. Based on the historical payment behavior of the Company’s lease portfolio as a whole, payments are considered reasonably assured when a lease’s delinquency status is less than 90 days. Therefore, when a lease or loan is 90 days or more delinquent, the contract is classified as non-accrual and interest income recognition is discontinued. Interest income recognition resumes on a contract when the lessee makes payments sufficient to bring the contract’s status to less than 90 days delinquent. | |
Modifications resulting in renegotiated leases may include reductions in payment and extensions in term. However, such renegotiated leases are not granted concessions regarding implicit rates or reductions in total amounts due. Modifications may be granted on a one-time basis in situations that indicate the lessee is experiencing a temporary, timing issue and has a high likelihood of success with a revised payment plan. After a modification, a lease’s accrual status is based on compliance with the modified terms. | |
Fee Income and Other Income, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Fee Income |
Fee income consists of fees for delinquent lease and loan payments, cash collected on early termination of leases and net residual income. Net residual income includes income from lease renewals and gains and losses on the realization of residual values of leased equipment disposed at the end of a lease’s term. Residual income is recognized as earned. | |
Fee income from delinquent lease payments is recognized on an accrual basis based on anticipated collection rates. At a minimum of every quarter, an analysis of anticipated collection rates is performed based on updates to collection history. Adjustments in the anticipated collection rate assumptions are made as needed based on this analysis. Other fees are recognized when received. | |
Other Income | |
Other income includes various administrative transaction fees and fees received from lease syndications, recognized as earned. | |
Insurance Income Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Insurance Income |
Insurance income is recognized on an accrual basis as earned over the term of each lease. Generally, insurance payments that are 120 days or more past due are charged against income. Ceding commissions, losses and loss adjustment expenses are recorded in the period incurred and netted against insurance income. | |
Derivatives, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Loss on Derivatives |
Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments are recognized immediately in loss on derivatives. | |
Securities Available for Sale, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Securities Available for Sale |
Securities available for sale consist of mutual funds and municipal bonds that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Unrealized holding gains or losses of all securities available for sale, net of related deferred income taxes, are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices in active markets, if available. If quoted prices in active markets are not available, fair values are based on prices obtained from third-party pricing vendors. See Note 11 for more information on fair value measurement of securities. | |
Initial Direct Costs and Fees, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Initial Direct Costs and Fees |
We defer initial direct costs incurred and fees received to originate our leases and loans in accordance with the Receivables Topic and the Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs Subtopic of the FASB ASC. The initial direct costs and fees we defer are part of the net investment in leases and loans and are amortized to interest income using the effective interest method. We defer third-party commission costs, as well as certain internal costs directly related to the origination activity. Costs subject to deferral include evaluating each prospective customer’s financial condition, evaluating and recording guarantees and other security arrangements, negotiating terms, preparing and processing documents and closing each transaction. The fees we defer are documentation fees collected at inception. The realization of the initial direct costs, net of fees deferred, is predicated on the net future cash flows generated by our lease and loan portfolios. | |
Common Stock and Equity, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Common Stock and Equity |
On November 2, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the 2007 Repurchase Plan, under which, the Company was authorized to repurchase up to $15 million in value of its outstanding shares of common stock. On July 29, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the 2014 Repurchase Plan to replace the 2007 Repurchase Plan. Under the 2014 Repurchase Plan, the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $15 million in value of its outstanding shares of common stock on the open market. The par value of the shares repurchased is charged to common stock with the excess of the purchase price over par charged against any available additional paid-in capital. | |
Financing Related Costs, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Financing Related Costs |
Financing related costs primarily consist of bank commitment fees paid to our financing sources on the unused portion of loan facility. These fees are recognized as incurred. | |
Stock-based Compensation, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Stock-Based Compensation |
The Compensation—Stock Compensation Topic of the FASB ASC establishes fair value as the measurement objective in accounting for share-based payment arrangements and requires all entities to apply a fair-value-based measurement method in accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees and non-employees, except for equity instruments held by employee share ownership plans. | |
The Company measures stock-based compensation cost at grant date, based on the fair value of the awards ultimately expected to vest. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period. We generally use the Black-Scholes valuation model to measure the fair value of our stock options utilizing various assumptions with respect to expected holding period, risk-free interest rates, stock price volatility, and dividend yield. The assumptions are based on management’s judgment concerning future events. | |
The fair value calculations for the one-time stock option exchange program the Company effected through an October 28, 2009 amendment to its 2003 Equity Compensation Plan were based on a binomial valuation model which considered many variables, such as the volatility of our stock and the expected term of an option, including consideration of the ratio of stock price to the exercise price at which exercise is expected to occur. The binomial valuation model was used for both the surrendered stock options and the new replacement options under the stock option exchange program. | |
As required by U.S. GAAP, the Company uses its judgment in estimating the amount of awards that are expected to be forfeited, with subsequent revisions to the assumptions if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The vesting of certain restricted shares may be accelerated to a minimum of three years based on achievement of various individual performance measures. Acceleration of expense for awards based on individual performance factors occurs when the achievement of the performance criteria is determined. | |
Non-forfeitable dividends paid on shares of restricted stock are recorded to retained earnings for shares that are expected to vest and to compensation expense for shares that are not expected to vest. | |
Income Taxes, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Income Taxes |
The Income Taxes Topic of the FASB ASC requires the use of the asset and liability method under which deferred taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities, given the provisions of the enacted tax laws. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities and projected future taxable income in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not the Company will realize the benefits of these deductible differences. | |
Significant management judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities and any necessary valuation allowance recorded against net deferred tax assets. The process involves summarizing temporary differences resulting from the different treatment of items, such as leases, for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities which are included within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Management then assesses the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income or tax carry-back availability and, to the extent our management believes recovery is not likely, a valuation allowance is established. To the extent that we establish a valuation allowance in a period, an expense is recorded within the tax provision in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. | |
At December 31, 2014 and 2013, there were no uncertain tax positions. The periods subject to examination for the Company’s federal return include the 2011 tax year to the present. The Company files state income tax returns in various states which may have different statutes of limitations. Generally, state income tax returns for the years 2011 through the present are subject to examination. As of December 31, 2014, the Company has a net receivable balance of $0.9 million, due to estimated payments exceeding the calculated liability. | |
The Company records penalties and accrued interest related to taxes, including penalties and interest related to uncertain tax positions, in income tax expense. Such adjustments have historically been minimal and immaterial to our financial results. | |
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Earnings Per Share |
The Company’s restricted stock awards are paid non-forfeitable common stock dividends and thus meet the criteria of participating securities. Accordingly, earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated using the two-class method, under which earnings are allocated to both common shares and participating securities. All shares of restricted stock are deducted from the weighted average shares outstanding for the computation of basic EPS. | |
Diluted EPS is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period including the dilutive impact of the exercise or conversion of common stock equivalents, such as stock options, into shares of common stock as if those securities were exercised or converted. | |
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block] | In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. Under the new guidance, a disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations only if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. This guidance also changes an entity’s requirements when presenting, for each comparative period, the assets and liabilities of a disposal group that includes a discontinued operation. A discontinued operation may include a component of an entity, or a business or nonprofit activity. The guidance is effective interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The adoption of the new requirements is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated earnings, financial position or cash flows of the Company. |
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. The adoption of the new requirements is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated balance sheet, statement of operations, or statement of cash flows of the Company. | |
In June 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-12, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. Under the new guidance, it is required that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. This guidance also requires that the performance target not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. The guidance is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of the new requirements is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated balance sheet, statement of operations, or statement of cash flows of the Company. | |
In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. Under the new guidance, an entity’s management should evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. The guidance is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The adoption of the new requirements is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated balance sheet, statement of operations, or statement of cash flows of the Company. | |
Self Insurance Reserve, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Self-Insurance |
Beginning in 2014, the Company assumed financial risk for providing health care benefits to its employees through a self-insured group health plan. We estimate the liabilities associated with this risk by considering historical claims experience. | |
