Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block] | Note 1. Organization and Business Operations |
Effective August 2, 2013, Universal Business Payment Solutions Acquisition Corporation changed its name to JetPay Corporation (the “Company” or “JetPay”) with the filing of its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. The Company’s ticker symbol on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“NASDAQ”) changed from “UBPS” to “JTPY” effective August 12, 2013. | |
The Company currently operates in two business segments, the JetPay Payment Processing Segment, which is an end-to-end processor of credit and debit card and ACH payment transactions to businesses with a focus on those processing internet transactions and recurring billings and the JetPay Payroll Segment, which is a full-service payroll and related payroll tax payment processor, and a provider of human resource, time and labor management, and other payroll related services. The Company also initiated operations of JetPay Card Services in the fourth quarter of 2013, a division which is focused on providing low-cost money management and payment services to un-banked and under-banked employees of our business customers. The activity within the JetPay Card Services division was not material for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. The Company entered the payment processing and the payroll processing businesses upon consummation of the acquisitions of JetPay, LLC (or “JetPay Payment Services”), A D Computer Corporation (“ADC” or “JetPay Payroll Services”) on December 28, 2012. Additionally, on November 7, 2014, the Company acquired ACI Merchant Systems, LLC (“ACI”), an independent sales organization specializing in relationships with banks, credit unions and other financial institutions. See Note 2. Business Acquisitions. | |
The Company was incorporated in Delaware on November 12, 2010 as a blank check company whose objective was to acquire, through a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, plan of arrangement, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination, one or more operating businesses. Until the completion of the initial acquisitions on December 28, 2012, the Company’s efforts were limited to organizational activities, its initial public offering (the “Offering”) and the search for suitable business acquisition transactions. | |
Effective December 28, 2012, the Company changed its fiscal year end from September 30 to December 31. The consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2013 include the accounts of JetPay and its wholly owned subsidiaries, JetPay, LLC and ADC. Additionally, the consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of ACI since ACI’s acquisition date, November 7, 2014. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. | |
In order to fund its working capital requirements, the Company expects that the historic cash flow of the acquired companies will provide sufficient liquidity to meet its current operating requirements. The Company believes that the investments made by JetPay in its technology, infrastructure, and sales staff will generate cash flows sufficient to cover its working capital needs. In addition to funding ongoing working capital needs, the Company’s cash requirements for the next twelve months ended December 31, 2015 include, but are not limited to: principal and interest payments on long-term debt of approximately $2.6 million, $2.0 million of unpaid deferred consideration originally due to the stockholders of ADC on December 28, 2014, and $1.2 million of deferred consideration due to the unitholders of ACI on April 10, 2015. The Company expects to fund its cash needs, including capital required for acquisitions and capital expenditures, with cash flow from its operating activities, equity investments and borrowings. As disclosed in Note 12. Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, from October 11, 2013 to December 31, 2014, the Company was successful in selling 91,333 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series A Preferred”), to affiliates of Flexpoint Ford, LLC (“Flexpoint”) for an aggregate of $27.4 million, less certain costs, and it has an agreement to potentially sell an additional $12.6 million of Series A Preferred to Flexpoint. Additionally, the Company sold 6,165 shares of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series A-1 Preferred”), to affiliates of Wellington Capital Management, LLP (“Wellington”) for an aggregate $1.85 million, and it has an agreement to potentially sell an additional $850,000 of Series A-1 Preferred to Wellington. This additional combined $13.45 million will be principally used as partial consideration for future acquisitions. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may need to limit its future growth plans. | |

Business Combinations [Abstract] | ||||||||
Business Combination Disclosure [Text Block] | Note 2. Business Acquisitions | |||||||
On July 6, 2012, the Company entered into three definitive agreements (the “Acquisition Agreements”) to acquire the following three companies: (i) JetPay, LLC, a Texas limited liability company and certain affiliated entities; (ii) Francis David Corporation (d/b/a/ Electronic Merchant Systems), an Ohio corporation (“EMS”) and certain affiliated entities; and (iii) ADC, and certain affiliated entities. The Company’s board of directors approved each of the agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby (collectively, the “Completed Transactions”). On August 10, 2012, the Company entered into amendments with respect to each of the definitive agreements for the Completed Transactions. On December 11, 2012, the Company and EMS mutually agreed to terminate the Acquisition Agreement. The transactions with JetPay, LLC and ADC were consummated on December 28, 2012. | ||||||||
On December 28, 2012, JP Merger Sub, LLC merged with and into JetPay, LLC, with JetPay, LLC surviving such merger. In connection with the closing, the Company paid approximately $6.9 million in cash to WLES, LP (“WLES”), JetPay, LLC’s sole member, and issued a $2.3 million unsecured promissory note to WLES. This promissory note was recorded at its fair value of $1.49 million. Additionally, the Company issued 3,666,667 shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 (“Common Stock”), to WLES, 3,333,333 of which were deposited in an escrow account to secure certain obligations of WLES. See Note 15. Commitments and Contingencies. The stock consideration was valued at $19.25 million at the date of acquisition. The cash consideration payable to JetPay, LLC was also subject to certain adjustments relating to the net working capital, cash and indebtedness of JetPay, LLC and its subsidiaries. In addition to the consideration paid at closing, WLES, through December 28, 2017, is entitled to receive 833,333 shares of the Common Stock if the trading price of the Common Stock is at least $8.00 per share for any 20 trading days out of a 30 trading day period and $5,000,000 in cash if the trading price of the Common Stock is at least $9.50 per share for any 20 trading days out of a 30 trading day period. This cash and stock contingent consideration was valued at $1.54 million at the date of acquisition based on utilization of option pricing models and was recorded as a non-current liability for $700,000 and as additional paid-in capital for $840,000 at December 31, 2012, respectively. The fair value of the cash contingent consideration was $0 at December 31, 2014. See Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. The acquisition of JetPay, LLC provides the Company a base operation for providing merchant card processing services and the ability to cross-market to its merchant card processing services to its ADC payroll client base. | ||||||||
On December 28, 2012, ADC Merger Sub, Inc. merged with and into ADC, with ADC surviving such merger. In connection with the closing, the Company paid $16.0 million in cash and issued 1.0 million shares of its Common Stock to the stockholders of ADC valued at $5.25 million at the date of acquisition. Additionally, the Company paid consideration of $324,000 related to working capital and tax adjustments. On December 28, 2014, the ADC stockholders were entitled to receive an additional $2.0 million in cash consideration. The $2.0 million of deferred consideration was recorded as a non-current liability as of the date of acquisition of $1.49 million representing the estimated fair value of this future payment utilizing a 16% discount rate. The fair value of the deferred consideration was $2.0 million at December 31, 2014 and is recorded as a current liability. The acquisition of ADC provides a base operation to the Company for providing payroll and related payroll tax processing and payment services to its clients and provides the Company the ability to cross-market its payroll payment services to its JetPay, LLC customer base. | ||||||||
On November 7, 2014, the Company entered into a Unit Purchase Agreement (the “Unit Purchase Agreement”) with ACI and Michael Collester and Cathy Smith, pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of ACI from Michael Collester and Cathy Smith. ACI is an independent sales organization specializing in relationships with banks, credit unions, and other financial institutions, as well as industry association relationships. | ||||||||
In connection with the closing, the Company paid an aggregate of $11.0 million in cash, adjusted as set forth herein, and issued 2.0 million shares of its Common Stock to the members of ACI with a value of approximately $3.7 million on the date of acquisition. The ACI unitholders are entitled to receive additional cash consideration of $1.2 million on April 10, 2015 and a further cash payment of $1.2 million on April 10, 2016. The $2.4 million of deferred consideration was recorded at $2.17 million, valuing the estimated fair value of the 2016 future payment utilizing a 16% discount rate. Additionally, ACI’s unitholders are entitled to earn up to an additional $500,000 based on the net revenue of ACI for the twelve month periods ending October 31, 2015 and 2016. This cash consideration, recorded as a non-current liability, was valued at $400,000 at the date of acquisition utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation model. The fair value of the contingent cash consideration was $400,000 at December 31, 2014. See Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. The Company is also obligated to reimburse the members of ACI for certain tax obligations estimated at $50,000. The acquisition of ACI provides the Company with additional expertise in selling debit and credit card processing services into this channel, as well as a base operation to sell its payroll and related payroll tax processing and payment services to its clients and provides the Company the ability to cross-market its payroll payment services and its prepaid card services to ACI’s customer base. | ||||||||
The fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the ACI acquisition as of the acquisition date include: (i) $250,000 cash, (ii) $521,000 for accounts receivable; (iii) $46,000 for prepaid expenses and other assets; (iv) $27,000 for fixed assets; (v) the assumption of $601,000 of liabilities; and (vi) the remainder, or approximately $17.1 million, allocated to goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets. Within the $17.1 million of acquired intangible assets, $10.6 million was assigned to goodwill, which is not subject to amortization expense under U.S. GAAP. The Company expects to deduct for tax purposes substantially all of its goodwill. The amount assigned to goodwill was deemed appropriate based on several factors, including: (i) multiple paid by market participants for businesses in the merchant card processing business; (ii) levels of ACI’s current and future projected cash flows; and (iii) the Company’s strategic business plan, which includes cross-marketing the Company’s payroll processing and prepaid card services to ACI’s customer base as well as offering merchant credit card processing services to the Company’s ADC payroll customer base. The remaining intangible assets were assigned to customer relationships for $6.3 million, software costs of $100,000, and tradename for $60,000. The Company determined that the fair value of non-compete agreements were immaterial. Customer relationships, software costs, and trade name were assigned a life of 8.5, 2 and 3 years, respectively. | ||||||||
Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the ACI acquisition were recorded on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of the acquisition date based upon their estimated fair values at such date. The results of operations of the business acquired by the Company have been included in the statements of operations since the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the underlying identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed were allocated to goodwill. | ||||||||

Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. The Company’s critical accounting policies are described below. | ||||||||||||||
Use of Estimates | ||||||||||||||
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Company’s financial statements. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, the value of purchase consideration of acquisitions; valuation of accounts receivable, reserves for chargebacks, goodwill, intangible assets, and other long-lived assets; legal contingencies; and assumptions used in the calculation of stock-based compensation and in the calculation of income taxes. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. | ||||||||||||||

The Company recognizes revenue in general when the following criteria have been met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, a customer contract or purchase order exists and the fees are fixed and determinable, no significant obligations remain and collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured. Allowances for chargebacks, discounts and other allowances are estimated and recorded concurrent with the recognition of revenue and are primarily based on historic rates. | ||||||||||||||
Revenues from the Company’s credit and debit card processing operations are recognized in the period services are rendered as the Company processes credit and debit card transactions for its merchant customers or for merchant customers of its Independent Sales Organization (“ISO”) clients. The majority of the Company’s revenue within its credit and debit card processing business is comprised of transaction-based fees, which typically constitute a percentage of dollar volume processed, or a fee per transaction processed. In the case where the Company is only the processor of transactions, it charges transaction fees only and records these fees as revenues. In the case of merchant contracts or contracts with ISOs for whom it processes credit and debit card transactions for the ISO’s merchant customers, revenue is primarily comprised of fees charged to the merchant, as well as a percentage of the processed sale transaction. The Company’s contracts in most instances involve three parties: the Company, the merchant, and the sponsoring bank. Under certain of these sales arrangements, the Company’s sponsoring bank collects the gross revenue from the merchants, pays the interchange fees and assessments to the credit card associations, collects their fees and pays the Company a net residual payment representing the Company’s fee for the services provided. Accordingly, under these arrangements, the Company records the revenue net of interchange, credit card association assessments and fees and the sponsoring bank’s fees. Effective June 1, 2013, a majority of the Company’s merchant contract and ISO merchant customer credit and debit card transactions business was transferred to a new sponsoring bank whereby the Company is billed directly for certain fees by the credit card associations and the processing bank. In this instance, revenues and cost of revenues include the credit card association fees and assessments and the sponsoring bank’s fees which are billed to the Company and for which it assumes credit risk. The impact of this change resulted in an increase in revenues and cost of revenues of approximately $1.54 million in the year ended December 31, 2014 as compared to 2013. In all instances, the Company recognizes processing revenues net of interchange fees, which are assessed to its merchant and ISO merchant customers on all processed transactions. Interchange rates and fees are not controlled by the Company. The Company effectively functions as a clearing house collecting and remitting interchange fee settlement on behalf of issuing banks, debit networks, credit card associations and their processing customers. Additionally, the Company’s direct merchant customers have the liability for any charges properly reversed by the cardholder. In the event, however, that the Company is not able to collect such amount from the merchants due to merchant fraud, insolvency, bankruptcy or any other reason, it may be liable for any such reversed charges. The Company requires cash deposits, guarantees, letters of credit and other types of collateral by certain merchants to minimize any such contingent liability, and it also utilizes a number of systems and procedures to manage merchant risk. | ||||||||||||||
Revenues from the Company’s payroll processing operation are recognized in the period services are rendered and earned under service arrangements with clients where service fees are fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Certain processing services are provided under annual service arrangements with revenue recognized over the service period based on when the efforts and costs are expended. The Company’s service revenue is largely attributable to payroll-related processing services where the fees are based on a fixed amount per processing period or a fixed amount per processing period plus a fee per employee or transaction processed. The revenue earned from delivery service for the distribution of certain client payroll checks and reports is included in processing revenue, and the costs for delivery are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. | ||||||||||||||
Interest on funds held for clients is earned primarily on funds that are collected from clients before due dates for payroll tax administration services and for employee payment services, and invested until remittance to the applicable tax or regulatory agencies or client employee. These collections from clients are typically remitted from 1 to 30 days after receipt, with some items extending to 90 days. The interest earned on these funds is included in total revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Operations because the collecting, holding, and remitting of these funds are critical components of providing these services. | ||||||||||||||
Reserve for Chargeback Losses | ||||||||||||||
Disputes between a cardholder and a merchant periodically arise as a result of, among other things, cardholder dissatisfaction with merchandise quality or merchant services. Such disputes may not be resolved in the merchant’s favor. In these cases, the transaction is “charged back” to the merchant, which means the purchase price is refunded to the customer through the merchant’s bank and charged to the merchant. If the merchant has inadequate funds, JetPay, LLC must bear the credit risk for the full amount of the transaction. JetPay, LLC evaluates the risk for such transactions and estimates the potential loss for chargebacks based primarily on historical experience and records a loss reserve accordingly. JetPay, LLC believes its reserve for chargeback losses is adequate to cover both the known probable losses and the incurred but not yet reported losses at the balance sheet dates. Chargeback reserves totaling $306,000 and $262,000 were recorded as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. | ||||||||||||||
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | ||||||||||||||
The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, settlement processing assets and liabilities, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, funds held for clients, other assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses, deferred revenue, other current liabilities and client fund obligations, approximated fair value as of the balance sheet date presented, because of the relatively short maturity dates on these instruments. The carrying amounts of the financing arrangements approximate fair value as of the balance sheet date presented, because interest rates on these instruments approximate market interest rates after consideration of stated interest rates, anti-dilution protection and associated warrants. | ||||||||||||||
Concentration of Credit Risk | ||||||||||||||
Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, settlement processing assets and funds held for clients. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are deposited with major financial institutions. At times, such deposits may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurable amount. | ||||||||||||||
Cash and Cash Equivalents | ||||||||||||||
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. | ||||||||||||||
Accounts Receivable | ||||||||||||||
The Company’s accounts receivable are due from its merchant credit card and its payroll customers. Credit is extended based on evaluation of customers’ financial condition and, generally, collateral is not required. Payment terms vary and amounts due from customers are stated in the financial statements net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts which are outstanding longer than the payment terms are considered past due. The Company determines its allowance by considering a number of factors, including the length of time trade accounts receivable are past due, the Company’s previous loss history, the customer’s current ability to pay its obligation to the Company, and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. The Company writes off accounts receivables when they are deemed uncollectible. | ||||||||||||||
Settlement Processing Assets and Obligations | ||||||||||||||
Funds settlement refers to the process of transferring funds for sales and credits between card issuers and merchants. Depending on the type of transaction, either the credit card interchange system or the debit network is used to transfer the information and funds between the sponsoring bank and card issuing bank to complete the link between merchants and card issuers. In certain of our processing arrangements, merchant funding primarily occurs after the sponsoring bank receives the funds from the card issuer through the card networks creating a net settlement obligation on the Company’s balance sheet. In a limited number of other arrangements, the sponsoring bank funds the merchants before it receives the net settlement funds from the card networks, creating a net settlement asset on the Company’s balance sheet. Additionally, certain of the Company’s sponsoring banks collect the gross revenue from the merchants, pay the interchange fees and assessments to the credit card associations, collect their fees for processing and pays the Company a net residual payment representing the Company’s fees for the services. In these instances, the Company does not reflect the related settlement processing assets and obligations in its consolidated balance sheet. | ||||||||||||||
Timing differences in processing credit and debit card and ACH transactions, as described above, interchange expense collection, merchant reserves, sponsoring bank reserves, and exception items result in settlement processing asset and obligations. Settlement processing assets consist primarily of our receivable from merchants for the portion of the discount fee related to reimbursement of the interchange expense, our receivable from the processing bank for transactions we have funded merchants in advance of receipt of card association funding, merchant reserves held, sponsoring bank reserves and exception items, such as customer chargeback amounts receivable from merchants. Settlement processing obligations consist primarily of merchant reserves, our liability to the processing bank for transactions for which we have received funding from the members but have not funded merchants and exception items. | ||||||||||||||
Property and Equipment | ||||||||||||||
Property and equipment acquired in the Company’s recent business acquisitions have been recorded at estimated fair value. The Company records all other property and equipment acquired in the normal course of business at cost. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are generally as follows: leasehold improvements – shorter of economic life or initial term of the related lease; machinery and equipment – 5 to 15 years; and furniture and fixtures – 5 to 10 years. Significant additions or improvements extending assets’ useful lives are capitalized; normal maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred. | ||||||||||||||
Goodwill | ||||||||||||||
Goodwill represents the premium paid over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in the Company’s business combinations. The Company performs a goodwill impairment test on at least an annual basis. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires significant judgments, including estimation of future cash flows, which is dependent on internal forecasts, estimation of the long-term rate of growth for the businesses, the useful life over which cash flows will occur and determination of our weighted average cost of capital. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and/or conclusions on goodwill impairment for each reporting unit. The Company will conduct its annual goodwill impairment test as of December 31 of each year or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. The Company periodically analyzes whether any such indicators of impairment exist. A significant amount of judgment is involved in determining if an indicator of impairment has occurred. Such indicators may include a sustained significant decline in our stock price and market capitalization, a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate, unanticipated competition and/or slower expected growth rates, adverse actions or assessments by a regulator, among others. The Company compares the fair value of its reporting unit to its respective carrying value, including related goodwill. Future changes in the industry could impact the results of future annual impairment tests. The Company’s annual goodwill impairment testing indicated there was no impairment as of December 31, 2014. There can be no assurance that future tests of goodwill impairment will not result in impairment charges. | ||||||||||||||
Identifiable Intangible Assets | ||||||||||||||
Identifiable intangible assets consist primarily of customer relationships, software costs, and tradenames. Certain tradenames are considered to have indefinite lives, and as such, are not subject to amortization. These assets are tested for impairment using undiscounted cash flow methodology annually and whenever there is an impairment indicator. Estimating future cash flows requires significant judgment and projections may vary from cash flows eventually realized. Several impairment indicators are beyond the Company’s control, and determining whether or not they will occur cannot be predicted with any certainty. Customer relationships, tradenames, and software costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over their respective assigned estimated useful lives. | ||||||||||||||
Impairment of Long–Lived Assets | ||||||||||||||
The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets held and used at least annually or when events and circumstances warrant such a review. If significant events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable, the Company performs a test of recoverability by comparing the carrying value of the asset or asset group to its undiscounted expected future cash flows. Cash flow projections are sometimes based on a group of assets, rather than a single asset. If cash flows cannot be separately and independently identified for a single asset, the Company determines whether impairment has occurred for the group of assets for which it can identify the projected cash flows. If the carrying values are in excess of undiscounted expected future cash flows, it measures any impairment by comparing the fair value of the asset group to its carrying value. If the fair value of an asset or asset group is determined to be less than the carrying amount of the asset or asset group, impairment in the amount of the difference is recorded. The Company’s annual testing indicated there was no impairment as of December 31, 2014. | ||||||||||||||
Convertible Preferred Stock | ||||||||||||||
The Company accounts for the redemption premium, beneficial conversion feature and issuance costs on its Convertible Preferred Stock using the effective interest method, accreting such amounts to its Convertible Preferred Stock from the date of issuance to the earliest date of redemption. | ||||||||||||||
Share-Based Compensation | ||||||||||||||
The Company expenses employee share-based payments under ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, which requires compensation cost for the grant-date fair value of share-based payments to be recognized over the requisite service period. The Company estimates the grant date fair value of the share-based awards issued in the form of options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. | ||||||||||||||
Loss per share | ||||||||||||||
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The dilutive effect of the conversion option in the Flexpoint Series A Preferred Stock and the Wellington Series A-1 Preferred Stock of 9,133,300 and 616,500 common shares, respectively, at December 31, 2014, and the effect of 466,656 exercisable stock options granted under the Company’s Stock Incentive Plan at December 31, 2014 have been excluded from the loss per share calculation for the year ended December 31, 2014 in that the assumed conversion of these options would be anti-dilutive. As to the year ended December 31, 2013, the dilutive effect of the conversion option in the $10 million Secured Convertible Promissory Notes Payable (the “Notes”) of 3,333,333 shares, the effect of the conversion option in the Flexpoint Series A Preferred Stock of 3,333,333, and the effect of 104,167 exercisable stock options granted under the Company’s Stock Incentive Plan at December 31, 2013 have been excluded from the loss per share calculation in that the assumed conversion of the options would be anti-dilutive. | ||||||||||||||
Derivative Financial Instruments | ||||||||||||||
The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risks. The Company does review the terms of the convertible debt it issues to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments, including embedded conversion options, which are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as derivative financial instruments. In circumstances where the host instrument contains more than one embedded derivative instrument, including the conversion option, that is required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single compound derivative instrument. | ||||||||||||||
Bifurcated embedded derivatives are initially recorded at fair value and are then revalued at each reporting date with changes in the fair value reported as non-operating income or expense. When the equity or convertible debt instruments contain embedded derivative instruments that are to be bifurcated and accounted for as liabilities, the total proceeds received are first allocated to the fair value of all the bifurcated derivative instruments. The remaining proceeds, if any, are then allocated to the host instruments themselves, usually resulting in those instruments being recorded at a discount from their face value. The discount from the face value of the convertible debt, together with the stated interest on the instrument, is amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges recorded within other expense (income), using the effective interest method. | ||||||||||||||
Fair value measurements | ||||||||||||||
The Company accounts for fair value measurements in accordance with ASC Topic No. 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, (“ASC Topic 820”) which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. | ||||||||||||||
ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC Topic 820 are described below: | ||||||||||||||
Level 1 | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. | |||||||||||||
Level 2 | Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. | |||||||||||||
Level 3 | Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity). | |||||||||||||
The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required by ASC Topic 820, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. | ||||||||||||||

Totals | $ | 1,240 | $ | 1,230 | ||||||||||
Level 3 liabilities are valued using unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the financial instrument. For fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s accounting and finance department, which reports to the Chief Financial Officer, determines its valuation policies and procedures. The development and determination of the unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements and fair value calculations are the responsibility of the Company’s accounting and finance department with support from the Company’s outside consultants which are approved by the Chief Financial Officer. Level 3 financial liabilities consists of a derivative liability and contingent consideration related to the JetPay, LLC acquisition for which there are no current markets such that the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. Changes in fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy will be analyzed each period based on changes in estimates or assumptions and recorded as appropriate. | ||||||||||||||
The Level 3 financial liabilities are the result of recording the Completed Transactions, the ACI acquisition and related debt instruments as more fully described below. | ||||||||||||||
In connection with the debt proceeds received under the $10 million Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Notes”), the Company recorded a derivative liability of $2.1 million on its consolidated balance sheet at December 28, 2012 related to the conversion feature embedded in the Notes. The fair value of the derivative liability was classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because it was valued using pricing models that incorporate management assumptions that cannot be corroborated with observable market data. The fair value at December 31, 2014 of $0 is the result of the notes being paid in full on December 31, 2014. The change in fair value of this derivative liability of $380,000 and $1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, is recorded within other expenses (income) in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. | ||||||||||||||
In addition to the consideration paid upon closing of the JetPay, LLC acquisition, WLES, through December 28, 2017, is entitled to receive 833,333 shares of Common Stock if the trading price of the Common Stock is at least $8.00 per share for any 20 trading days out of a 30 trading day period and $5.0 million in cash if the trading price of the Common Stock is at least $9.50 per share for any 20 trading days out of a 30 trading day period. This contingent consideration was valued at $1.54 million at the date of acquisition based on utilization of option pricing models and was recorded as a non-current liability for $700,000 and as additional paid-in capital for $840,000 at December 31, 2012. The stock-based component value of $840,000 recorded at December 28, 2012 on the JetPay, LLC acquisition date, remains unchanged at December 31, 2014 as a result of this component being recorded as equity. The fair value at December 31, 2014 of the cash-based contingent consideration, valued at $0 was determined using a binomial option pricing model. The following assumptions were utilized in the December 2014 calculations: risk free interest rate: 1.10%; dividend yield: 0%; term of contingency of 3.0 years; and volatility: 23.4%. | ||||||||||||||
The fair value of the Common Stock was derived from the per share price of recent sales of the Common Stock at the valuation date. Management determined that the results of its valuation are reasonable. The expected life represents the remaining contractual term of the derivative. The volatility rate was developed based on analysis of the historical volatility rates of similarly situated companies (using a number of observations that was at least equal to or exceeded the number of observations in the life of the derivative financial instrument at issue). The risk free interest rates were obtained from publicly available US Treasury yield curve rates. The dividend yield is zero because the Company has not paid dividends and does not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. | ||||||||||||||
In addition to the consideration paid upon closing of the ACI acquisition, the previous unitholders are entitled to receive up to an additional $500,000 if certain net revenue goals are achieved through October 31, 2016. This contingent consideration was valued at $400,000 at the date of acquisition based on utilization of a Monte Carlo simulation to estimate the variance and relative risk of achieving future net revenue growth and discounting the associated cash consideration payments at their present values using a credit-risk adjusted discount rate of 16.0%. The key assumptions in applying the Monte Carlo simulation included expected net revenue growth rates, the expected standard deviation and serial correlation of expected net revenue growth rates as well as a normal distribution assumption. The contingent consideration was recorded as a non-current liability at December 31, 2014. | ||||||||||||||
The Company uses either a binomial option pricing model or the Black-Scholes option valuation model to value Level 3 financial liabilities at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. These models incorporate transaction details such as the Company’s stock price, contractual terms, maturity, risk free rates, as well as volatility. A significant decrease in the volatility or a significant decrease in the Company’s stock price, in isolation, would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement. | ||||||||||||||
As of December 31, 2014, there were no transfers in or out of Level 3 from other levels in the fair value hierarchy. | ||||||||||||||
In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging Activities, the Company presented its derivative liability at fair value on its balance sheet, with the corresponding change in fair value recorded in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations for the applicable reporting periods. | ||||||||||||||
Income taxes | ||||||||||||||
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC Topic 740”). ASC Topic 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carryovers. Deferred income tax expense (benefit) represents the change during the period in the deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities. In establishing the provision for income taxes and determining deferred income tax assets and liabilities, the Company makes judgments and interpretations based on enacted laws, published tax guidance and estimates of future earnings. ASC Topic 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when, based on available evidence; it is more likely than not that some portion or the entire deferred income tax asset will not be realized. | ||||||||||||||
ASC Topic 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. ASC Topic 740 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company is required to file income tax returns in the United States (federal) and in various state and local jurisdictions. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements. The Company believes that its income tax positions and deductions would be sustained upon examination and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in material changes to its financial position. | ||||||||||||||
The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits is to record such interest and penalties as interest expense and as a component of selling, general and administrative expense, respectively. There were no amounts accrued for penalties or interest as of or during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. Management does not expect any significant changes in its unrecognized tax benefits in the next year. | ||||||||||||||
Subsequent Events | ||||||||||||||
Management evaluates events that have occurred after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued. Based upon the review, management did not identify any recognized or non-recognized subsequent events which would have required an adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements. | ||||||||||||||
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | ||||||||||||||
The FASB has issued ASU No. 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. This standard is intended to define management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. Under U.S. GAAP, financial statements are prepared under the presumption that the reporting organization will continue to operate as a going concern, except in limited circumstances. Financial reporting under this presumption is commonly referred to as the going concern basis of accounting. The going concern basis of accounting is critical to financial reporting because it establishes the fundamental basis for measuring and classifying assets and liabilities. Currently, U.S. GAAP lacks guidance about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about the organization’s ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. This ASU provides guidance to an organization’s management, with principles and definitions that are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of disclosures that are commonly provided by organizations today in the financial statement footnotes. The amendments are effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is permitted for annual or interim reporting periods for which the financial statements have not previously been issued. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations. | ||||||||||||||
The FASB has issued ASU No. 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. This ASU requires that a performance target that affects vesting, and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant date fair value of the award. This update further clarifies that 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 amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations. | ||||||||||||||
The FASB has issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification 605 - Revenue Recognition and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Codification. The standard requires that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU is effective on January 1, 2017 and should be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the ASU recognized at the date of initial application. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations. | ||||||||||||||

At December 28, 2012 in connection with securing certain debt financing to consummate the Completed Transactions, the Company incurred a total of $4.4 million in financing costs that have been capitalized and will be amortized over the life of the related debt instruments using the effective interest method beginning in 2013. Of the total deferred financing costs, $4.4 million relates to certain of our founding stockholders agreeing to transfer 832,698 shares of Common Stock that they personally acquired prior to the Initial Public Offering (the “Offering”) to certain of the Note Investors with respect to the Notes.

Additionally, in connection with the $9 million and the $7.5 million term loans payable to Metro Bank, the Company incurred and recorded $23,000 and $76,000 of deferred financing costs, respectively.

In order to finance a portion of the proceeds payable in the Completed Transactions, on December 28, 2012, we entered into a Note Agreement with Special Opportunities Fund, Inc., R8 Capital Partners, LLC, Bulldog Investors General Partnership, Ira Lubert, Mendota Insurance Company and American Services Insurance Company, Inc., (collectively, the “Note Investors”) pursuant to which, we issued $10 million in promissory notes secured by 50% of our ownership interest in JetPay, LLC. In connection with the Note Agreement, we entered into separate Notes with each of the Note Investors. Amounts outstanding under the Notes accrued interest at a rate of 12% per annum. The Notes were not converted into common stock of the Company, and accordingly, matured and were paid in full on December 31, 2014. The Notes were not pre-payable. Pursuant to the Notes, the Note Investors were entitled to convert all or any amounts outstanding under the Notes into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $3.00 per share, adjusted from $5.15 per share as a result of the initial closing of the Series A Preferred to Flexpoint on October 11, 2013. | ||||||||
On December 28, 2012, we entered into an Assumption Agreement with JetPay, LLC and Ten Lords Ltd. Pursuant to the Assumption Agreement assuming an $8.3 million note which was paid down to $6 million at the closing of the JetPay, LLC acquisition. Additionally, we agreed to guarantee JetPay, LLC’s obligations with respect to an existing loan agreement between JetPay, LLC, Ten Lords, Ltd. and Providence Interactive Capital, LLC. Amounts outstanding under the loan were repaid on October 11, 2013, as noted above, from the proceeds of the initial purchase of Series A Preferred purchased by Flexpoint Ford, LLC (“Flexpoint”). | ||||||||
On December 28, 2012, ADC and PTFS, as borrowers, entered into the Loan and Security Agreement with Metro Bank, as the lender for a term loan with a principal amount of $9 million. Amounts outstanding under the notes accrue interest at a rate of 4% per annum. The loan matures on December 28, 2019 and amortizes over the course of the loan in equal monthly installments of $107,143. Additional principal payments may be required at the end of each fiscal year based on a free cash flow calculation at ADC as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement. The loans are guaranteed by us and are secured by all assets of ADC and PTFS, as well as a pledge by us of our ownership interest in ADC. The Loan and Security Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness, liens, transactions with affiliates and other customary restrictions for loans of this type and size. The borrowers are also subject to certain annual financial covenants including a debt coverage ratio and a leverage ratio during the term of the loan. We are required to provide Metro with annual financial statements within 120 days of our fiscal year end and quarterly financial statements within 60 days after the end of each fiscal quarter. We are in compliance with the covenant requirements as of December 31, 2014. | ||||||||
On November 7, 2014, ACI, as borrower, entered into the ACI Loan and Security Agreement with Metro Bank as the lender for a term loan with a principal amount of $7.5 million. Amounts outstanding under the notes accrue interest at a rate of 5.25% per annum. The loan matures on November 7, 2021 and amortizes in equal monthly installments of $104,167 over six years beginning in the month following the first anniversary of the Loan and Security Agreement. Additional principal payments may be required at the end of each fiscal year based on a free cash flow calculation at ADC as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement. The term loan is guaranteed by the Company and ADC, and is secured by all the assets of ACI, an assignment of an equity interest in ACI’s merchant residual contracts, as well as a pledge by JetPay of its equity interest in ACI. The ACI Loan and Security Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness, liens, transactions with affiliates and other customary restrictions for loans of this type and size. The Borrower is also subject to financial covenants related to their debt coverage ratio, total leverage ratio during the term of the loan and certain minimum Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization in 2015. We are required to provide Metro with annual financial statements within 120 days of our fiscal year end and quarterly financial statements within 60 days after the end of each fiscal quarter. We are in compliance with the covenant requirements as of December 31, 2014. | ||||||||
Our ongoing ability to comply with the debt covenants under our credit arrangements and to refinance our debt depends largely on the achievement of adequate levels of cash flow. If our future cash flows are less than expected or our debt service, including interest expense, increases more than expected, causing us to default on any of the Metro covenants in the future, we will need to obtain amendments or waivers from Metro. In the event that non-compliance with the debt covenants should occur in the future, we would pursue various alternatives in an attempt to successfully resolve the non-compliance, which might include, among other things, seeking additional debt covenant waivers or amendments or refinancing debt with other financial institutions. There can be no assurance that debt covenant waivers or amendments would be obtained, if needed, or that the debt could be refinanced with other financial institutions on favorable terms. | ||||||||
In connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the JetPay, LLC Agreement, we entered into a Note and Indemnity Side Agreement with JP Merger Sub, LLC, WLES and Trent Voigt, dated as of December 28, 2012. Pursuant to the Note and Indemnity Side Agreement, we agreed to issue a promissory note in the amount of $2,331,369 in favor of WLES. Interest accrues on amounts due under the note at a rate of 5% per annum. The note is due in full on December 31, 2017. The note can be prepaid in full or in part at any time without penalty. As partial consideration for offering the note, we and JP Merger Sub, LLC agreed to waive certain specified indemnity claims against WLES and Mr. Voigt to the extent the losses under such claims do not exceed $2,331,369. | ||||||||
Maturities of long-term debt, excluding fair value and conversion option debt discounts, are as follows: 2015 – $1.6 million; 2016 – $3.1 million; 2017 – $4.9 million; 2018 – $2.5 million; 2019 – $2.5 million and $2.3 million thereafter. | ||||||||

Convertible Preferred Stock [Abstract] | |
Convertible Preferred Stock [Text Block] | Note 12. Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock |
On October 11, 2013, the Company issued 33,333 shares of Series A Preferred to Flexpoint for an aggregate of $10.0 million less certain agreed-upon reimbursable expenses of Flexpoint (the “Initial Closing”) pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) entered into on August 22, 2013. Additionally, on April 14, 2014, the Company issued 4,667 shares of Series A Preferred to Flexpoint for an aggregate of $1.4 million; 20,000 shares on November 7, 2014 for $6.0 million, and 33,333 shares on December 28, 2014 for $10.0 million. The proceeds of the initial $10.0 million investment were used to retire the Ten Lords, Ltd. note payable of $5.9 million maturing in December 2013 with the remainder used for general corporate purposes. The proceeds of the $1.4 million investment were used to satisfy a portion of the EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. Award. See Note 15– Commitments and Contingencies. As a result of the Award, the Company was not able to satisfy one of the conditions to closing of the $1.4 million Series A Preferred purchase. Although Flexpoint agreed to waive this condition at the closing, for any subsequent closing of the Series A Preferred, the Company will need to seek a waiver of the failure of this condition from Flexpoint. The November 7, 2014 $6.0 million proceeds were used as partial consideration for the acquisition of ACI and the proceeds of the December 28, 2014 $10.0 million investment were used to redeem the Secured Convertible Promissory Notes that matured on December 31, 2014. | |
The Series A Preferred is convertible into shares of Common Stock. Any holder of Series A Preferred may at any time convert such holder’s shares of Series A Preferred into that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Series A Preferred being converted multiplied by $300 and divided by the then-applicable conversion price, initially $3.00. The conversion price of the Series A Preferred is subject to downward adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events. | |
Under the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to sell to Flexpoint, and Flexpoint agreed to purchase, upon satisfaction of certain conditions, up to 133,333 shares of Series A Preferred for an aggregate purchase price of up to $40.0 million. The Company’s obligation to issue and sell, and Flexpoint’s obligation to purchase, the Series A Preferred is divided into three separate tranches: Tranche A, Tranche B and Tranche C. Tranche A consists of $10.0 million worth of shares of Series A Preferred that was issued on October 11, 2013. Tranche B consists of up to $10.0 million worth of shares of Series A Preferred, which Flexpoint was obligated to purchase, subject to satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, from the Company if the Company is able to consummate a redemption any time after December 1, 2014 and prior to December 29, 2014 of the Notes. The Series A Preferred under Tranche B was issued on December 28, 2014. Tranche C consists of up to $20.0 million worth of shares of Series A Preferred ($12.6 million remaining available at December 31, 2014), which Flexpoint has the option to purchase at any time until the third anniversary of the Initial Closing. The shares of Series A Preferred issuable with respect to Tranche A, Tranche B and Tranche C all have a purchase price of $300 per share. | |
The Series A Preferred has an initial liquidation preference of $600 per share (subject to adjustment for any stock split, stock dividend or other similar proportionate reduction or increase of the authorized number of shares of Common Stock) and will rank senior to the Common Stock with respect to distributions of assets upon the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up. Holders of Series A Preferred will have the right to request redemption of any shares of Series A Preferred issued at least five years prior to the date of such request by delivering written notice to the Company at the then applicable liquidation value per share, unless holders of a majority of the outstanding Series A Preferred elect to waive such redemption request on behalf of all holders of Series A Preferred. | |
On May 5, 2014, the Company issued 2,565 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Wellington for an aggregate of $769,500, less certain agreed-upon reimbursable expenses of Wellington, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated May 1, 2014. Additionally, the Company issued 1,350 shares of Series A-1 Preferred on November 20, 2014 for $405,000, and 2,250 shares on December 31, 2014 for $675,000. Under the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to sell to Wellington, upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, up to 9,000 shares of Series A-1 Preferred at a purchase price of $300 per share for an aggregate purchase price of up to $2.7 million. The proceeds of the total investment of $1.85 million by Wellington will be used for general corporate purposes. The Series A-1 Preferred will be convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock or, in certain circumstances, Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series A-2 Preferred”). The Preferred Stock can be converted into that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Series A-1 Preferred being converted multiplied by $300 and divided by the then-applicable conversion price, which initially will be $3.00. The conversion price of the series A-1 Preferred is subject to downward adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement. Additionally, Wellington will have the option, but not the obligation, to purchase up to the number of shares of Series A-1 Preferred equal to 6.75% of the cumulative number of shares of Series A Preferred purchased by Flexpoint. | |
The Series A-1 Preferred will have an initial liquidation preference of $600 per share and will rank senior to the Company’s Common Stock and pari passu with the Series A Preferred owned by Flexpoint with respect to distributions of assets upon the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up. Notwithstanding the above, no holder of the Series A-1 Preferred can convert if, as a result of such conversion, such holder would beneficially own 9.9% or more of the Company’s Common Stock. If at any time, no shares of Series A Preferred remain outstanding and shares of Series A-1 Preferred remain outstanding because of the limitation in the preceding sentence, all shares of Series A-1 Preferred shall automatically convert into shares of Series A-2 Preferred at a 1:1 ratio. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Noncompliance, as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement, the holders of a majority of the Series A Preferred may demand immediate redemption of all or a portion of the Preferred Stock at the then-applicable liquidation value. | |
The Company considered the guidance of ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and ASC Topic 815, Derivatives, in determining the accounting treatment for the convertible preferred stock instrument. The Company considered the economic characteristics and the risks of the host contract based on the stated and implied substantive terms and features of the instrument; including, but not limited to, its redemption features, voting rights, and conversions rights; and determined that the terms of the preferred stock were more akin to an equity instrument than a debt instrument. The Series A Preferred shares are subject to redemption, at the option of the holder, on or after the fifth anniversary of their original purchase. Accordingly, the convertible preferred shares have been classified as temporary equity in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Upon issuance of the 33,333 shares of the Series A Preferred, the Company recorded as a reduction to the Series A Preferred and as Additional Paid-In Capital a beneficial conversion feature of $1.5 million. The beneficial conversion feature represents the difference between the effective conversion price and the fair value of the Series A Preferred as of the commitment date. There was no beneficial conversion feature upon the 2014 issuance of Series A Preferred to Flexpoint and Series A-1 Preferred to Wellington as a result of the price of the Company’s stock at the dates of the closings being below the conversion price of the preferred shares. The Company accounts for the beneficial conversion feature, the liquidation preference, and the issuance costs related to the Series A Preferred and Series A-1 Preferred using the effective interest method by accreting such amounts to its Series A Preferred and Series A-1 Preferred from the date of issuance to the earliest date of redemption as a reduction to its total permanent equity within the Company’s consolidated statement of changes in stockholders’ equity as a charge to Additional Paid-In Capital. Any accretion recorded during the periods presented are also shown as a reduction to the income available to common stockholders in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations when presenting basic and dilutive per share information. Accretion for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $2.4 million and $360,000, respectively. | |
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Noncompliance, the holders of a majority of the Series A Preferred may demand immediate redemption of all or a portion of the Series A Preferred at the then-applicable liquidation value. Such holders may also exercise a right to have the holders of the Series A Preferred elect a majority of the Board by increasing the size of the Board and filling such vacancies. Such right to control a minimum majority of the Board would exist for so long as the Event of Noncompliance was continuing. An “Event of Noncompliance” shall have occurred if: i) the Company fails to make any required redemption payment with respect to the Series A Preferred; ii) the Company breaches the Securities Purchase Agreement after the Initial Closing, and such breach has not been cured with thirty days after receipt of notice thereof; iii) the Company or any subsidiary makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, admits its insolvency or is the subject of an order, judgment or decree adjudicating such entity as insolvent, among other similar actions; iv) a final judgment in excess of $5.0 million is rendered against the Company or any subsidiary that is not discharged within 60 days thereafter; or v) an event of default has occurred under either the Secured Convertible Note Agreement, the Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of December 28, 2012 by and among ADC, PTFS and Metro Bank, or the Loan and Security Agreement dated as of November 7, 2014 by and among ACI and Metro Bank, and such event of default has not been cured within thirty days after receipt of notice thereof. | |

At a meeting of the Company’s stockholders held on July 31, 2013 (the “Meeting”), the Company’s stockholders approved the adoption of the Company’s 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Company granted options to purchase 325,000 shares of Common Stock under the Plan during the three months ended September 30, 2013, all at an exercise price of $3.10 per share, options to purchase 675,000 shares of Common Stock during the three months ended December 31, 2013, all at an exercise price of $3.00 per share, and options to purchase 445,000 shares of Common Stock during the year ended December 31, 2014 all at an exercise price of $3.00 per share. The grant date fair value of the options granted during 2014 and 2013 were determined to be approximately $306,000 and $979,000, respectively, using the Black-Scholes pricing model. Significant assumptions used in the valuation include expected term of 5.75 to 6.25 years, expected volatility of 38.23% to 45.17%, risk free interest rate of 1.75% to 2.10%, and expected dividend yield of 0%. Aggregated stock-based compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $356,000 and $194,000, respectively. Unrecognized compensation expense as of December 31, 2014, relating to non-vested common stock options is approximately $688,542 and is expected to be recognized through 2018. At December 31, 2014, no options have been exercised and 43,750 options have been forfeited. | |||||||||||||||||||||
The fair values of the Company’s options were estimated at the dates of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: | |||||||||||||||||||||

Expected term: The Company’s expected term is based on the period the options are expected to remain outstanding. The Company estimated this amount utilizing the “Simplified Method” in that the Company does not have sufficient historical experience to provide a reasonable basis to estimate an expected term. | |||||||||||||||||||||
Risk-free interest rate: The Company uses the risk-free interest rate of a U.S. Treasury Note with a similar term on the date of the grant. | |||||||||||||||||||||
Volatility: The Company calculates the volatility of the stock price based on historical value and corresponding volatility of the Company’s peer group stock price for a period consistent with the stock option expected term. | |||||||||||||||||||||

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had U.S. federal and state net operating loss carryovers (“NOLs”) of approximately $12.8 million and $5.33 million, available to offset future taxable income, respectively. These NOLs, if not utilized, expire at various times through 2034. In accordance with Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, deductibility of the Company’s NOLs may be subject to an annual limitation in the event of a change in control. | ||||||||
In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, Management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will 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, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. After consideration of all of the information available, Management believes that significant uncertainty exists with respect to future realization of the deferred tax assets, and has, therefore, increased its valuation allowance against deferred tax assets by $3.4 million in the year ended December 31, 2014, with a total valuation allowance of $7.6 million at December 31, 2014, representing the amount of its deferred income tax assets in excess of the Company’s deferred income tax liabilities. The deferred tax liability related to goodwill that is amortizable for tax purpose (“Intangibles”) will not reverse until such time, if any, that the goodwill, which is considered to be an asset with an indefinite life for financial reporting purposes, becomes impaired or sold. Due to the uncertain timing of this reversal, the temporary difference cannot be considered as future taxable income for purposes of determining a valuation allowance. Therefore, the deferred tax liability related to tax deductible goodwill Intangibles cannot be considered when determining the ultimate realization of deferred tax assets. | ||||||||
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and local jurisdictions and is subject to examination by the various taxing authorities. The Company considers Pennsylvania and Texas to be significant state tax jurisdictions. The Company’s federal, state and local income taxes for the years beginning in 2011 remain subject to examination. | ||||||||

On or about March 13, 2012, a merchant of JetPay, LLC, Direct Air, a charter travel company, abruptly ceased operations and filed for bankruptcy. Under United States Department of Transportation requirements, all charter travel company customer charges for travel are to be deposited into an escrow account in a bank under a United States Department of Transportation escrow program, and not released to the charter travel company until the travel has been completed. In the case of Direct Air, such funds had historically been deposited into such United States Department of Transportation escrow account at Valley National Bank in New Jersey, and continued to be deposited through the date Direct Air ceased operations. At the time Direct Air ceased operations, according to Direct Air’s bankruptcy trustee, there should have been in excess of $31.0 million in the escrow account. Instead there was approximately $1.0 million. As a result, Merrick Bank (“Merrick”), JetPay, LLC’s sponsor with respect to this particular merchant, incurred chargebacks in excess of $25.0 million. Merrick maintains insurance through a Chartis Insurance Policy for chargeback losses that names Merrick as the primary insured. The policy has a limit of $25.0 million and a deductible of $250,000. Merrick has sued Chartis Insurance (“Chartis”) for payment under the claim. Under an agreement between Merrick and JetPay, LLC, JetPay, LLC may be obligated to indemnify Merrick for losses realized from such chargebacks that Merrick is unable to recover from other parties. In 2012, JetPay, LLC recorded a loss for all chargebacks in excess of the $25.0 million, a $250,000 deductible on a related insurance policy and $487,000 of legal fees charged against JetPay, LLC’s cash reserve account by Merrick, all totaling $1.9 million in 2012, as well as an additional $597,000 in legal fees charged against JetPay, LLC’s cash reserve account by Merrick through June 30, 2013. In December 2013, Merrick, in addition to its suit against Chartis, also filed suit against Valley National Bank as escrow agent. In February 2015, JetPay joined that suit, along with American Express. JetPay, LLC has received correspondence from Merrick of its intention to seek recovery for all unrecovered chargebacks and related costs, but JetPay, LLC is currently not a party to any litigation from Merrick regarding this matter. Merrick and JetPay, LLC have entered into a forbearance agreement pertaining to the Direct Air chargeback issue. The Direct Air situation has also caused other unexpected expenses, such as higher professional fees and fees for chargeback processing. Additionally, pursuant to the terms of its agreement with Merrick, Merrick has forced JetPay, LLC to maintain increased cash reserves in order to provide additional security for any obligations arising from the Direct Air situation. Merrick continues to hold approximately $4.4 million of total reserves related to the Direct Air matter as of December 31, 2014. The cash reserve balance was reduced by approximately $600,000 during the year ended December 31, 2014 to settle a lawsuit involving the Company and Merrick with MSC Cruise Lines, including certain legal fees claimed and deducted from the reserve by Merrick in connection with settling the matter, as more fully described below. These reserves are recorded in Other Assets. | |||||
On August 7, 2013, JetPay Merchant Services, LLC (“JPMS”), a wholly owned subsidiary of JetPay, LLC and indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, together with WLES, L.P., (collectively, the “Plaintiffs”), filed suit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division, against Merrick, Royal Group Services, LTD, LLC and Gregory Richmond (collectively, the “Defendants”). The suit alleges that Merrick and Gregory Richmond (an agent of Royal Group Services) represented to JPMS that insurance coverage was arranged through Chartis Specialty Insurance Company to provide coverage for JPMS against potential chargeback losses related to certain of JPMS’s merchant customers, including Southern Sky Air Tours, d/b/a Direct Air. The complaint alleges several other causes of action against the Defendants, including violation of state insurance codes, negligence, fraud, breach of duty and breach of contract. Also, in August 2013, JPMS, JetPay, LLC, and JetPay ISO filed the second amendment to a previously filed complaint against Merrick in the United States District Court for the District of Utah, adding to its initial complaint several causes of action related to actions Merrick allegedly took during JetPay, LLC’s transition to a new sponsoring bank in June 2013. Additionally, subsequent to this transition, Merrick invoiced the Company for legal fees incurred by Merrick totaling approximately $2.7 million. The Company does not believe it has a responsibility to reimburse Merrick for these legal fees and intends to vigorously dispute these charges. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded an accrual for these legal fees as of December 31, 2014. | |||||
As partial protection against any potential losses related to Direct Air, the Company required that, upon closing of the Completed Transactions, 3,333,333 shares of our common stock that was to be paid to WLES as part of the JetPay, LLC acquisition be placed into an escrow account with JPMorgan Chase (“Chase”) as the trustee. The Escrow Agreement for the account names Merrick, the Company, and WLES as parties. If JetPay, LLC suffers any liability to Merrick as a result of the Direct Air matter; these shares are to be used in partial or full payment for any such liability, with any remaining shares delivered to WLES. If JetPay, LLC is found to have any liability to Merrick because of this issue, and these shares do not have sufficient value to fully cover such liability, the Company may be responsible for this JetPay, LLC liability. On February 3, 2014, the Company received notice that Merrick had requested Chase to release the 3,333,333 shares in the escrow account. Both JetPay and WLES informed Chase that they did not agree to the release, and the shares remain in escrow. | |||||
On January 16, 2013, the Company received notice that EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. (“EBC”) had commenced arbitration proceedings (the “Claim”) against the Company with the International Centre for Dispute Resolution (the “ICDR”). The Claim alleged that the Company breached a Letter Agreement, dated as of May 9, 2011, with EBC by failing to pay EBC a cash fee of $2.07 million and reimburse EBC for certain expenses upon the closing of the Company’s initial business combination, which was consummated on December 28, 2012. As a result of such breach, EBC sought the cash fee plus interest and attorney’s fees and expenses. In November 2013, the ICDR held arbitration proceedings with respect to the Claim. On March 3, 2014, the ICDR rendered its decision and ordered the Company to pay the cash fee of $2.07 million plus interest, attorney’s fees and expenses of approximately $740,000 within 30 days of the decision (the “Award”). The Company accrued $2,136,000 relating to this matter as of December 31, 2012 and an additional $675,000 was recorded as SG&A expenses in the fourth quarter of 2013 for the legal fees and interest costs awarded to EBC as part of the Award. In order to satisfy a portion of the Award, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement on March 28, 2014 (the “Common Stock SPA”) with each of Bipin C. Shah, its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and C. Nicholas Antich, the President of JetPay Payroll Services. Pursuant to the Common Stock SPA, on April 4, 2014, the Company received aggregate proceeds of $1.0 million and issued an aggregate of 333,333 shares of Common Stock to Messrs. Shah and Antich. Additionally, on April 14, 2014, the Company issued 4,667 shares of Series A Preferred to Flexpoint for an aggregate of $1.4 million under the Securities Purchase Agreement. See Note 12. Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock. The Company used the proceeds from the sale of common stock, the proceeds from the Closing of the Series A Preferred to Flexpoint, and existing cash of $411,000 to fully satisfy its obligations to EBC. | |||||
On August 23, 2013, the Company received notice that JPMS was a party in a lawsuit brought by MSC Cruise Lines, a former customer. Merrick is a co-defendant in the lawsuit. MSC Cruise Lines claimed approximately $2.0 million in damages and alleges that JPMS breached its agreement with MSC by charging fees not specified in the agreement. The Company reached a settlement on the matter on July 31, 2014. Accordingly, the Company has recorded an expense of $600,000 for the year ended December 31, 2014, representing the settlement to MSC Cruise Lines and certain legal fees claimed by Merrick in connection with settling the suit. The settlement, including the Merrick legal fees, was satisfied by a deduction from the Merrick reserve account recorded in other assets as described above. | |||||
In December 2013 the Company settled a lawsuit with M&A Ventures in which it agreed to pay $400,000, with $100,000 paid in 2013 and the reminder in installments throughout 2014. The Company recorded the $400,000 settlement within SG&A expense for the three months ended December 31, 2013. | |||||
In December 2012, BCC Merchant Solutions, a former customer of JetPay, LLC filed a suit against JetPay, LLC, Merrick Bank, and Trent Voigt in the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division, for $1.9 million, alleging that the parties by their actions, had cost BCC significant expense and lost customer revenue. The Company believes that the basis of the suit regarding JetPay, LLC is groundless and intends to defend it vigorously. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded an accrual for any potential loss related to this matter as of December 31, 2014. | |||||

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Use of Estimates | |||||||||||||
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Company’s financial statements. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, the value of purchase consideration of acquisitions; valuation of accounts receivable, reserves for chargebacks, goodwill, intangible assets, and other long-lived assets; legal contingencies; and assumptions used in the calculation of stock-based compensation and in the calculation of income taxes. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. | ||||||||||||||
Revenue Recognition, Deferred Revenue [Policy Text Block] | Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue | |||||||||||||
The Company recognizes revenue in general when the following criteria have been met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, a customer contract or purchase order exists and the fees are fixed and determinable, no significant obligations remain and collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured. Allowances for chargebacks, discounts and other allowances are estimated and recorded concurrent with the recognition of revenue and are primarily based on historic rates. | ||||||||||||||
Revenues from the Company’s credit and debit card processing operations are recognized in the period services are rendered as the Company processes credit and debit card transactions for its merchant customers or for merchant customers of its Independent Sales Organization (“ISO”) clients. The majority of the Company’s revenue within its credit and debit card processing business is comprised of transaction-based fees, which typically constitute a percentage of dollar volume processed, or a fee per transaction processed. In the case where the Company is only the processor of transactions, it charges transaction fees only and records these fees as revenues. In the case of merchant contracts or contracts with ISOs for whom it processes credit and debit card transactions for the ISO’s merchant customers, revenue is primarily comprised of fees charged to the merchant, as well as a percentage of the processed sale transaction. The Company’s contracts in most instances involve three parties: the Company, the merchant, and the sponsoring bank. Under certain of these sales arrangements, the Company’s sponsoring bank collects the gross revenue from the merchants, pays the interchange fees and assessments to the credit card associations, collects their fees and pays the Company a net residual payment representing the Company’s fee for the services provided. Accordingly, under these arrangements, the Company records the revenue net of interchange, credit card association assessments and fees and the sponsoring bank’s fees. Effective June 1, 2013, a majority of the Company’s merchant contract and ISO merchant customer credit and debit card transactions business was transferred to a new sponsoring bank whereby the Company is billed directly for certain fees by the credit card associations and the processing bank. In this instance, revenues and cost of revenues include the credit card association fees and assessments and the sponsoring bank’s fees which are billed to the Company and for which it assumes credit risk. The impact of this change resulted in an increase in revenues and cost of revenues of approximately $1.54 million in the year ended December 31, 2014 as compared to 2013. In all instances, the Company recognizes processing revenues net of interchange fees, which are assessed to its merchant and ISO merchant customers on all processed transactions. Interchange rates and fees are not controlled by the Company. The Company effectively functions as a clearing house collecting and remitting interchange fee settlement on behalf of issuing banks, debit networks, credit card associations and their processing customers. Additionally, the Company’s direct merchant customers have the liability for any charges properly reversed by the cardholder. In the event, however, that the Company is not able to collect such amount from the merchants due to merchant fraud, insolvency, bankruptcy or any other reason, it may be liable for any such reversed charges. The Company requires cash deposits, guarantees, letters of credit and other types of collateral by certain merchants to minimize any such contingent liability, and it also utilizes a number of systems and procedures to manage merchant risk. | ||||||||||||||
Revenues from the Company’s payroll processing operation are recognized in the period services are rendered and earned under service arrangements with clients where service fees are fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Certain processing services are provided under annual service arrangements with revenue recognized over the service period based on when the efforts and costs are expended. The Company’s service revenue is largely attributable to payroll-related processing services where the fees are based on a fixed amount per processing period or a fixed amount per processing period plus a fee per employee or transaction processed. The revenue earned from delivery service for the distribution of certain client payroll checks and reports is included in processing revenue, and the costs for delivery are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. | ||||||||||||||
Interest on funds held for clients is earned primarily on funds that are collected from clients before due dates for payroll tax administration services and for employee payment services, and invested until remittance to the applicable tax or regulatory agencies or client employee. These collections from clients are typically remitted from 1 to 30 days after receipt, with some items extending to 90 days. The interest earned on these funds is included in total revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Operations because the collecting, holding, and remitting of these funds are critical components of providing these services. | ||||||||||||||
Contingent Liability Reserve Estimate, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Reserve for Chargeback Losses | |||||||||||||
Disputes between a cardholder and a merchant periodically arise as a result of, among other things, cardholder dissatisfaction with merchandise quality or merchant services. Such disputes may not be resolved in the merchant’s favor. In these cases, the transaction is “charged back” to the merchant, which means the purchase price is refunded to the customer through the merchant’s bank and charged to the merchant. If the merchant has inadequate funds, JetPay, LLC must bear the credit risk for the full amount of the transaction. JetPay, LLC evaluates the risk for such transactions and estimates the potential loss for chargebacks based primarily on historical experience and records a loss reserve accordingly. JetPay, LLC believes its reserve for chargeback losses is adequate to cover both the known probable losses and the incurred but not yet reported losses at the balance sheet dates. Chargeback reserves totaling $306,000 and $262,000 were recorded as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. | ||||||||||||||
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Fair Value of Financial Instruments | |||||||||||||
The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, settlement processing assets and liabilities, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, funds held for clients, other assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses, deferred revenue, other current liabilities and client fund obligations, approximated fair value as of the balance sheet date presented, because of the relatively short maturity dates on these instruments. The carrying amounts of the financing arrangements approximate fair value as of the balance sheet date presented, because interest rates on these instruments approximate market interest rates after consideration of stated interest rates, anti-dilution protection and associated warrants. | ||||||||||||||
Concentration Risk, Credit Risk, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Concentration of Credit Risk | |||||||||||||
Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, settlement processing assets and funds held for clients. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are deposited with major financial institutions. At times, such deposits may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurable amount. | ||||||||||||||
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Cash and Cash Equivalents | |||||||||||||
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. | ||||||||||||||
Receivables, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Accounts Receivable | |||||||||||||
The Company’s accounts receivable are due from its merchant credit card and its payroll customers. Credit is extended based on evaluation of customers’ financial condition and, generally, collateral is not required. Payment terms vary and amounts due from customers are stated in the financial statements net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts which are outstanding longer than the payment terms are considered past due. The Company determines its allowance by considering a number of factors, including the length of time trade accounts receivable are past due, the Company’s previous loss history, the customer’s current ability to pay its obligation to the Company, and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. The Company writes off accounts receivables when they are deemed uncollectible. | ||||||||||||||
Unsettled Merchant Accounts [Policy Text Block] | Settlement Processing Assets and Obligations | |||||||||||||
Funds settlement refers to the process of transferring funds for sales and credits between card issuers and merchants. Depending on the type of transaction, either the credit card interchange system or the debit network is used to transfer the information and funds between the sponsoring bank and card issuing bank to complete the link between merchants and card issuers. In certain of our processing arrangements, merchant funding primarily occurs after the sponsoring bank receives the funds from the card issuer through the card networks creating a net settlement obligation on the Company’s balance sheet. In a limited number of other arrangements, the sponsoring bank funds the merchants before it receives the net settlement funds from the card networks, creating a net settlement asset on the Company’s balance sheet. Additionally, certain of the Company’s sponsoring banks collect the gross revenue from the merchants, pay the interchange fees and assessments to the credit card associations, collect their fees for processing and pays the Company a net residual payment representing the Company’s fees for the services. In these instances, the Company does not reflect the related settlement processing assets and obligations in its consolidated balance sheet. | ||||||||||||||
Timing differences in processing credit and debit card and ACH transactions, as described above, interchange expense collection, merchant reserves, sponsoring bank reserves, and exception items result in settlement processing asset and obligations. Settlement processing assets consist primarily of our receivable from merchants for the portion of the discount fee related to reimbursement of the interchange expense, our receivable from the processing bank for transactions we have funded merchants in advance of receipt of card association funding, merchant reserves held, sponsoring bank reserves and exception items, such as customer chargeback amounts receivable from merchants. Settlement processing obligations consist primarily of merchant reserves, our liability to the processing bank for transactions for which we have received funding from the members but have not funded merchants and exception items. | ||||||||||||||
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Property and Equipment | |||||||||||||
Property and equipment acquired in the Company’s recent business acquisitions have been recorded at estimated fair value. The Company records all other property and equipment acquired in the normal course of business at cost. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are generally as follows: leasehold improvements – shorter of economic life or initial term of the related lease; machinery and equipment – 5 to 15 years; and furniture and fixtures – 5 to 10 years. Significant additions or improvements extending assets’ useful lives are capitalized; normal maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred. | ||||||||||||||
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Goodwill, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Goodwill | |||||||||||||
Goodwill represents the premium paid over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in the Company’s business combinations. The Company performs a goodwill impairment test on at least an annual basis. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires significant judgments, including estimation of future cash flows, which is dependent on internal forecasts, estimation of the long-term rate of growth for the businesses, the useful life over which cash flows will occur and determination of our weighted average cost of capital. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and/or conclusions on goodwill impairment for each reporting unit. The Company will conduct its annual goodwill impairment test as of December 31 of each year or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. The Company periodically analyzes whether any such indicators of impairment exist. A significant amount of judgment is involved in determining if an indicator of impairment has occurred. Such indicators may include a sustained significant decline in our stock price and market capitalization, a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate, unanticipated competition and/or slower expected growth rates, adverse actions or assessments by a regulator, among others. The Company compares the fair value of its reporting unit to its respective carrying value, including related goodwill. Future changes in the industry could impact the results of future annual impairment tests. The Company’s annual goodwill impairment testing indicated there was no impairment as of December 31, 2014. There can be no assurance that future tests of goodwill impairment will not result in impairment charges. | ||||||||||||||
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Intangible Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Identifiable Intangible Assets | |||||||||||||
Identifiable intangible assets consist primarily of customer relationships, software costs, and tradenames. Certain tradenames are considered to have indefinite lives, and as such, are not subject to amortization. These assets are tested for impairment using undiscounted cash flow methodology annually and whenever there is an impairment indicator. Estimating future cash flows requires significant judgment and projections may vary from cash flows eventually realized. Several impairment indicators are beyond the Company’s control, and determining whether or not they will occur cannot be predicted with any certainty. Customer relationships, tradenames, and software costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over their respective assigned estimated useful lives. | ||||||||||||||
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Impairment of Long–Lived Assets | |||||||||||||
The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets held and used at least annually or when events and circumstances warrant such a review. If significant events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable, the Company performs a test of recoverability by comparing the carrying value of the asset or asset group to its undiscounted expected future cash flows. Cash flow projections are sometimes based on a group of assets, rather than a single asset. If cash flows cannot be separately and independently identified for a single asset, the Company determines whether impairment has occurred for the group of assets for which it can identify the projected cash flows. If the carrying values are in excess of undiscounted expected future cash flows, it measures any impairment by comparing the fair value of the asset group to its carrying value. If the fair value of an asset or asset group is determined to be less than the carrying amount of the asset or asset group, impairment in the amount of the difference is recorded. The Company’s annual testing indicated there was no impairment as of December 31, 2014. | ||||||||||||||
Convertible Preferred Stock [Policy Text Block] | Convertible Preferred Stock | |||||||||||||
The Company accounts for the redemption premium, beneficial conversion feature and issuance costs on its Convertible Preferred Stock using the effective interest method, accreting such amounts to its Convertible Preferred Stock from the date of issuance to the earliest date of redemption. | ||||||||||||||
Share-Based Compensation [Policy Text Block] | Share-Based Compensation | |||||||||||||
The Company expenses employee share-based payments under ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, which requires compensation cost for the grant-date fair value of share-based payments to be recognized over the requisite service period. The Company estimates the grant date fair value of the share-based awards issued in the form of options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. | ||||||||||||||
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Loss per share | |||||||||||||
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The dilutive effect of the conversion option in the Flexpoint Series A Preferred Stock and the Wellington Series A-1 Preferred Stock of 9,133,300 and 616,500 common shares, respectively, at December 31, 2014, and the effect of 466,656 exercisable stock options granted under the Company’s Stock Incentive Plan at December 31, 2014 have been excluded from the loss per share calculation for the year ended December 31, 2014 in that the assumed conversion of these options would be anti-dilutive. As to the year ended December 31, 2013, the dilutive effect of the conversion option in the $10 million Secured Convertible Promissory Notes Payable (the “Notes”) of 3,333,333 shares, the effect of the conversion option in the Flexpoint Series A Preferred Stock of 3,333,333, and the effect of 104,167 exercisable stock options granted under the Company’s Stock Incentive Plan at December 31, 2013 have been excluded from the loss per share calculation in that the assumed conversion of the options would be anti-dilutive. | ||||||||||||||
Derivatives, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Derivative Financial Instruments | |||||||||||||
The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risks. The Company does review the terms of the convertible debt it issues to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments, including embedded conversion options, which are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as derivative financial instruments. In circumstances where the host instrument contains more than one embedded derivative instrument, including the conversion option, that is required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single compound derivative instrument. | ||||||||||||||
Bifurcated embedded derivatives are initially recorded at fair value and are then revalued at each reporting date with changes in the fair value reported as non-operating income or expense. When the equity or convertible debt instruments contain embedded derivative instruments that are to be bifurcated and accounted for as liabilities, the total proceeds received are first allocated to the fair value of all the bifurcated derivative instruments. The remaining proceeds, if any, are then allocated to the host instruments themselves, usually resulting in those instruments being recorded at a discount from their face value. The discount from the face value of the convertible debt, together with the stated interest on the instrument, is amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges recorded within other expense (income), using the effective interest method. | ||||||||||||||
Fair Value Measurement, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Fair value measurements | |||||||||||||
The Company accounts for fair value measurements in accordance with ASC Topic No. 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, (“ASC Topic 820”) which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. | ||||||||||||||
ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC Topic 820 are described below: | ||||||||||||||
Level 1 | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. | |||||||||||||
Level 2 | Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. | |||||||||||||
Level 3 | Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity). | |||||||||||||
The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required by ASC Topic 820, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. | ||||||||||||||

Totals | $ | 1,240 | $ | 1,230 | ||||||||||
Level 3 liabilities are valued using unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the financial instrument. For fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s accounting and finance department, which reports to the Chief Financial Officer, determines its valuation policies and procedures. The development and determination of the unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements and fair value calculations are the responsibility of the Company’s accounting and finance department with support from the Company’s outside consultants which are approved by the Chief Financial Officer. Level 3 financial liabilities consists of a derivative liability and contingent consideration related to the JetPay, LLC acquisition for which there are no current markets such that the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. Changes in fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy will be analyzed each period based on changes in estimates or assumptions and recorded as appropriate. | ||||||||||||||
The Level 3 financial liabilities are the result of recording the Completed Transactions, the ACI acquisition and related debt instruments as more fully described below. | ||||||||||||||
In connection with the debt proceeds received under the $10 million Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Notes”), the Company recorded a derivative liability of $2.1 million on its consolidated balance sheet at December 28, 2012 related to the conversion feature embedded in the Notes. The fair value of the derivative liability was classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because it was valued using pricing models that incorporate management assumptions that cannot be corroborated with observable market data. The fair value at December 31, 2014 of $0 is the result of the notes being paid in full on December 31, 2014. The change in fair value of this derivative liability of $380,000 and $1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, is recorded within other expenses (income) in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. | ||||||||||||||
In addition to the consideration paid upon closing of the JetPay, LLC acquisition, WLES, through December 28, 2017, is entitled to receive 833,333 shares of Common Stock if the trading price of the Common Stock is at least $8.00 per share for any 20 trading days out of a 30 trading day period and $5.0 million in cash if the trading price of the Common Stock is at least $9.50 per share for any 20 trading days out of a 30 trading day period. This contingent consideration was valued at $1.54 million at the date of acquisition based on utilization of option pricing models and was recorded as a non-current liability for $700,000 and as additional paid-in capital for $840,000 at December 31, 2012. The stock-based component value of $840,000 recorded at December 28, 2012 on the JetPay, LLC acquisition date, remains unchanged at December 31, 2014 as a result of this component being recorded as equity. The fair value at December 31, 2014 of the cash-based contingent consideration, valued at $0 was determined using a binomial option pricing model. The following assumptions were utilized in the December 2014 calculations: risk free interest rate: 1.10%; dividend yield: 0%; term of contingency of 3.0 years; and volatility: 23.4%. | ||||||||||||||
The fair value of the Common Stock was derived from the per share price of recent sales of the Common Stock at the valuation date. Management determined that the results of its valuation are reasonable. The expected life represents the remaining contractual term of the derivative. The volatility rate was developed based on analysis of the historical volatility rates of similarly situated companies (using a number of observations that was at least equal to or exceeded the number of observations in the life of the derivative financial instrument at issue). The risk free interest rates were obtained from publicly available US Treasury yield curve rates. The dividend yield is zero because the Company has not paid dividends and does not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. | ||||||||||||||
In addition to the consideration paid upon closing of the ACI acquisition, the previous unitholders are entitled to receive up to an additional $500,000 if certain net revenue goals are achieved through October 31, 2016. This contingent consideration was valued at $400,000 at the date of acquisition based on utilization of a Monte Carlo simulation to estimate the variance and relative risk of achieving future net revenue growth and discounting the associated cash consideration payments at their present values using a credit-risk adjusted discount rate of 16.0%. The key assumptions in applying the Monte Carlo simulation included expected net revenue growth rates, the expected standard deviation and serial correlation of expected net revenue growth rates as well as a normal distribution assumption. The contingent consideration was recorded as a non-current liability at December 31, 2014. | ||||||||||||||
The Company uses either a binomial option pricing model or the Black-Scholes option valuation model to value Level 3 financial liabilities at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. These models incorporate transaction details such as the Company’s stock price, contractual terms, maturity, risk free rates, as well as volatility. A significant decrease in the volatility or a significant decrease in the Company’s stock price, in isolation, would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement. | ||||||||||||||
As of December 31, 2014, there were no transfers in or out of Level 3 from other levels in the fair value hierarchy. | ||||||||||||||
In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging Activities, the Company presented its derivative liability at fair value on its balance sheet, with the corresponding change in fair value recorded in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations for the applicable reporting periods. | ||||||||||||||
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Income taxes | |||||||||||||
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC Topic 740”). ASC Topic 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carryovers. Deferred income tax expense (benefit) represents the change during the period in the deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities. In establishing the provision for income taxes and determining deferred income tax assets and liabilities, the Company makes judgments and interpretations based on enacted laws, published tax guidance and estimates of future earnings. ASC Topic 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when, based on available evidence; it is more likely than not that some portion or the entire deferred income tax asset will not be realized. | ||||||||||||||
ASC Topic 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. ASC Topic 740 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company is required to file income tax returns in the United States (federal) and in various state and local jurisdictions. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements. The Company believes that its income tax positions and deductions would be sustained upon examination and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in material changes to its financial position. | ||||||||||||||
The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits is to record such interest and penalties as interest expense and as a component of selling, general and administrative expense, respectively. There were no amounts accrued for penalties or interest as of or during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. Management does not expect any significant changes in its unrecognized tax benefits in the next year. | ||||||||||||||
Subsequent Events, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Subsequent Events | |||||||||||||
Management evaluates events that have occurred after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued. Based upon the review, management did not identify any recognized or non-recognized subsequent events which would have required an adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements. | ||||||||||||||
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Recent Accounting Pronouncements | |||||||||||||
The FASB has issued ASU No. 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. This standard is intended to define management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. Under U.S. GAAP, financial statements are prepared under the presumption that the reporting organization will continue to operate as a going concern, except in limited circumstances. Financial reporting under this presumption is commonly referred to as the going concern basis of accounting. The going concern basis of accounting is critical to financial reporting because it establishes the fundamental basis for measuring and classifying assets and liabilities. Currently, U.S. GAAP lacks guidance about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about the organization’s ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. This ASU provides guidance to an organization’s management, with principles and definitions that are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of disclosures that are commonly provided by organizations today in the financial statement footnotes. The amendments are effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is permitted for annual or interim reporting periods for which the financial statements have not previously been issued. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations. | ||||||||||||||
The FASB has issued ASU No. 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. This ASU requires that a performance target that affects vesting, and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant date fair value of the award. This update further clarifies that 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 amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations. | ||||||||||||||
The FASB has issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification 605 - Revenue Recognition and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Codification. The standard requires that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU is effective on January 1, 2017 and should be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the ASU recognized at the date of initial application. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations. | ||||||||||||||
