Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

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

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

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts – FlexShopper seeks to collect amounts owed under its leases from each customer on a weekly basis by charging their bank accounts or credit cards. Accounts receivable are principally comprised of lease payments currently owed to FlexShopper which are past due, as FlexShopper has been unable to successfully collect in the manner described above. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based upon revenues and historical experience of balances charged off as a percentage of revenues. The accounts receivable balances consisted of the following as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017:

	March 31, 2018			December 31, 2017

Accounts receivable	$	7,105,886		$	6,399,233
Allowance for doubtful accounts		(3,331,281	)		(2,139,765	)
Accounts receivable, net	$	3,774,605		$	4,259,468

The allowance is a significant percentage of the balance because FlexShopper does not charge off any customer account until it has exhausted all collection efforts with respect to each account, including attempts to repossess items. In addition, while collections are pursued, the same delinquent customers continue to accrue weekly charges until they are charged off with such charges being fully reserved for. Accounts receivable balances charged off against the allowance were $4,428,276 and $6,458,998 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Lease Merchandise – Until all payment obligations for ownership are satisfied under the lease agreement, the Company maintains ownership of the lease merchandise. Lease merchandise consists primarily of residential furniture, consumer electronics, computers, appliances and household accessories and is recorded at cost net of accumulated depreciation. The Company depreciates leased merchandise using the straight line method over the applicable agreement period for a consumer to acquire ownership, generally twelve months with no salvage value. Upon transfer of ownership of merchandise to customers resulting from satisfaction of their lease obligations, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from lease merchandise. For lease merchandise returned or anticipated to be returned either voluntarily or through repossession, the Company provides an impairment reserve for the undepreciated balance of the merchandise net of any estimated salvage value with a corresponding charge to cost of lease revenue. The cost, accumulated depreciation and impairment reserve related to such merchandise are written off upon determination that no salvage value is obtainable. The impairment charge amounted to approximately $807,000 and $1,502,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

The net leased merchandise balances consisted of the following as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017:

	March 31, 2018			December 31, 2017
Lease merchandise at cost	$	31,771,742		$	34,501,555
Accumulated depreciation		(11,716,878	)		(11,974,953	)
Impairment reserve		(1,099,641	)		(1,111,280	)
Lease merchandise, net	$	18,955,223		$	21,415,322

Lease merchandise at cost represents the undepreciated cost of rental merchandise at the time of sale.

Deferred Debt Issuance Costs - Debt issuance costs incurred in conjunction with the Credit Agreement entered into on March 6, 2015 (see Note 6) are offset against the outstanding balance of the loan payable and are amortized using the straight line method over the remaining term of the related debt, which approximates the effective interest method. Amortization which is included in interest expense was $118,404 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Debt issuance costs of $35,000 incurred in conjunction with the subordinated Promissory Notes entered into on January 29, 2018 and January 30, 2018 (see Note 5) are offset against the outstanding balance of the loan payable and are amortized using the straight line method over the remaining term of the related debt, which approximates the effective interest method. Amortization, which is included in interest expense, was $14,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

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

Software Costs - Costs related to developing or obtaining internal-use software incurred during the preliminary project and post-implementation stages of an internal use software project are expensed as incurred and certain costs incurred in the project’s application development stage are capitalized as property and equipment. The Company expenses costs related to the planning and operating stages of a website. Costs associated with minor enhancements and maintenance for the website are included in expenses as incurred. Direct costs incurred in the website’s development stage are capitalized as property and equipment. Capitalized software costs amounted to $297,826 and $439,917 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

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

Marketing Costs – Marketing costs primarily consist of advertising, are charged to expense as incurred.

Per Share Data – Per share data is computed by use of the two-class method as a result of outstanding Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock, which participates in dividends with the common stock and accordingly has participation rights in undistributed earnings as if all such earnings had been distributed during the period (see Note 7). Under such method income available to common shareholders is computed by deducting both dividends declared or, if not declared, accumulated on Series 2 Convertible Preferred Stock from income from continuing operations and from net income. Loss attributable to common shareholders is computed by increasing loss from continuing operations and net loss by such dividends. Where the Company has undistributed net income available to common shareholders, basic earnings per common share is computed based on the total of any dividends paid or declared per common share plus undistributed income per common share determined by dividing net income available to common shareholders reduced by any dividends paid or declared on common and participating Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock by the total of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the weighted average number of common shares issuable upon conversion of outstanding participating Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock during the period. Where the Company has a net loss, basic per share data (including income from continuing operations) is computed based solely on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. As the participating Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock has no contractual obligation to share in the losses of the Company, common shares issuable upon conversion of such preferred stock are not included in such computations.

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

In computing diluted loss per share, no effect has been given to the issuance of common stock upon conversion or exercise of the following securities as their effect is anti-dilutive:

Common Stock Warrants		511,553		511,553
		3,865,158		3,675,473

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

Compensation expense is determined by reference to the fair value of an award on the date of grant and is amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. We have elected to use the Black-Scholes-Merton (BSM) pricing model to determine the fair value of all stock option awards (see Note 8).

Fair Value of Financial Instruments – The carrying value of loans payable under the Credit Agreement increased by unamortized issuance costs (see Note 6) approximates fair value.

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

The Company recognizes a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. As of March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company had not recorded any unrecognized tax benefits.

Interest and penalties related to liabilities for uncertain tax positions will be charged to interest and operating expenses, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements – In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, on revenue recognition. The new standard provides for a single five-step model to be applied to all revenue contracts with customers as well as requires additional financial statement disclosures that will enable users to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows relating to customer contracts. Companies have an option to use either a retrospective approach or cumulative effect adjustment approach to implement the standard. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2018 but it did not have a material impact on its financial statements as a majority of the Company’s revenue generating activities are leasing arrangements which are outside the scope of the guidance.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, which is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted. Under ASU 2016-02, lessees will be required to recognize for all leases at the commencement date a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease measured on a discounted basis, and a right-to-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use or control the use of a specified asset for the lease term. Lessor guidance is largely unchanged. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the new guidance will have on its financial statements.

PROMISSORY NOTES	5. PROMISSORY NOTES On January 29, 2018 and January 30, 2018, the Company entered into letter agreements with Russ Heiser, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, and NRNS Capital Holdings LLC (“NRNS”), respectively (such letter agreements, together, the “Commitment Letters”), for consideration of a one time commitment fee of 1% of the lenders aggregate commitment totaling $35,000, pursuant to which the Company issued a subordinated promissory note to each of Mr. Heiser and NRNS (together, the “Notes”). The Commitment Letters provide that Mr. Heiser and NRNS each shall make advances to the Company under the applicable Note in aggregate amounts up to $1,000,000 and $2,500,000, respectively. Such amounts may be drawn on demand by the Company until July 31, 2018 in one or more advances. Payments of principal and accrued interest are due and payable by the Company upon 30 days’ prior written notice from the applicable noteholder and the Company can prepay principal and interest at any time without penalty. Upon issuance of the Notes, the Company drew $500,000 and a subsequent $500,000 on February 20, 2018 on the Note held by Mr. Heiser and $2,500,000 on the Note held by NRNS. The Notes bear interest at a rate equal to three (3%) per annum in excess of the non-default rate of interest from time to time in effect under that certain credit agreement dated as of March 6, 2015 among FlexShopper 2, LLC as borrower and the lenders party thereto in the Senior Credit Agreement (see note 6) computed on the basis of a 360 day year, which equals 15.8% at March 31, 2018. Interest expense incurred under the promissory notes amounted to $26,159 for Mr. Heiser and $76,357 for NRNS totaling $102,516 for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Loan Payable Under Credit Agreement [Abstract]
LOAN PAYABLE UNDER CREDIT AGREEMENT	6. LOAN PAYABLE UNDER CREDIT AGREEMENT On March 6, 2015, FlexShopper entered into a credit agreement (as amended from time to time, and including the Fee Letter (as defined therein), the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as paying agent, various lenders from time to time party thereto and WE 2014-1, LLC as administrative agent and lender (the “Lender”). FlexShopper is permitted to borrow funds under the Credit Agreement based on FlexShopper’s cash on hand and the Amortized Order Value of its Eligible Leases (as such terms are defined in the Credit Agreement) less certain deductions described in the Credit Agreement. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, FlexShopper may borrow up to $25,000,000 from the Lender for a term of two years from the date of the Credit Agreement (which term has since been extended, as described below). The Lender receives security interests in certain leases as collateral under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement provides that FlexShopper may not incur additional indebtedness (other than expressly permitted indebtedness) without the permission of the Lender and also prohibits dividends on common stock. The Credit Agreement includes customary events of default, including, among others, failures to make payment of principal and interest, breaches or defaults under the terms of the Credit Agreement and related agreements entered into with the Lender, breaches of representations, warranties or certifications made by or on behalf of FlexShopper in the Credit Agreement and related documents (including certain financial and expense covenants), deficiencies in the borrowing base, certain judgments against FlexShopper and bankruptcy events. On January 27, 2017, FlexShopper entered into a fifth amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Omnibus Amendment”). The Omnibus Amendment amended the Credit Agreement to, among other things, (1) extend the date after which the Company may no longer borrow additional funds (the “Commitment Termination Date”) from May 6, 2017 to April 1, 2018 (with a one-time right of extension by the lenders up to August 31, 2018), (2) require the Company to refinance the debt under the Credit Agreement upon a Permitted Change of Control (as defined in the Credit Agreement), subject to the payment of an early termination fee, (3) reduce the interest rate charged on amounts borrowed to be LIBOR plus 14% per annum and reduce the non-usage fee on undrawn amounts if the facility is less than 75% drawn on average, and (4) modify certain permitted debt and financial covenants. These modified covenants consist of a reduction of Equity Book Value to not be less than the sum of $6 million and 20% of any additional equity capital invested into the Company after December 31, 2016; maintaining at least $1.5 million in Unrestricted Cash; and the ratio of Consolidated Total Debt to Equity Book Value not exceeding 4.75:1. On January 9, 2018, the Commitment Termination Date was extended by the lenders from April 1, 2018 to August 31, 2018. The date upon which we must repay all remaining amounts owing under the Credit Agreement (the “Commitment Maturity Date”) is one year after the Commitment Termination Date. The Company was in compliance with its covenants as of March 31, 2018. The Company had $2,720,000 available under the Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2018. Principal payable within twelve months of the balance sheet date based on the outstanding loan balance at such date is reflected as a current liability in the accompanying balance sheets. Interest expense incurred under the Credit Agreement for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 was $697,952 and $437,587, respectively. As of March 31, 2018, the outstanding balance under the Credit Agreement was $14,645,000. The Company repaid $5,855,000 in the first quarter of 2018 as a result of a pay down of the seasonal advance from 2017. Interest is payable monthly on the outstanding balance of the amounts borrowed. On April 3, 2018, FlexShopper entered into a sixth amendment to the Credit Agreement (see Note 11).

Capital Structure	Mar. 31, 2018
Capital Structure [Abstract]
CAPITAL STRUCTURE	7. CAPITAL STRUCTURE The Company’s capital structure consists of preferred and common stock as described below: The Company is authorized to issue 250,000 shares of $0.001 par value preferred stock. The Company’s Board of Directors determines the rights and preferences of the Company’s preferred stock. Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock – On January 31, 2007, the Company filed a Certificate of Designations with the Secretary of State of Delaware. On November 9, 2017, the Company filed a Certificate of Decrease of the Number of Authorized Shares of Preferred Stock of FlexShopper, Inc. Designated as Series 1 Preferred Stock, reducing the number of shares designated as Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock to 250,000. Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock ranks senior to common stock. As of March 31, 2018, each share of Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock was convertible into 0.60649 shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to certain anti-dilution rights. The holders of the Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock have the option to convert the shares to common stock at any time. Upon conversion, all accumulated and unpaid dividends, if any, will be paid as additional shares of common stock. The holders of Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock have the same dividend rights as holders of common stock, as if the Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock had been converted to common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2017, 3,660 shares of Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock were converted into 2,220 shares of common stock. As of March 31, 2018, there were 239,405 shares of Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding, which are convertible into 145,197 shares of common stock. Series 2 Convertible Preferred Stock – On June 10, 2016, the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement with B2 FIE V LLC (the “Investor”), an entity affiliated with Pacific Investment Management Company LLC, providing for the issuance and sale of 20,000 shares of Series 2 Convertible Preferred Stock for gross proceeds of $20.0 million. The Company sold an additional 1,952 shares of Series 2 Convertible Preferred Stock to a different investor for gross proceeds of $1.95 million at a subsequent closing. Pursuant to the authority expressly granted to the Board of Directors by the provisions of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, the Board of Directors of the Company created and designated 25,000 shares of Series 2 Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series 2 Preferred Shares”), by filing a Certificate of Designations with the Delaware Secretary of State (the “Series 2 Certificate of Designations”). The Series 2 Preferred Shares were sold for $1,000 per share (the “Stated Value”) and accrue dividends on the Stated Value at an annual rate of 10% compounded annually. Cumulative accrued dividends as of March 31, 2018 total approximately $3,528,000. Each Series 2 Preferred Share is convertible at a conversion price of $8.10 into approximately 124 shares of common stock; provided, the conversion price is subject to reduction pursuant to a weighted average anti-dilution provision contained in the Series 2 Certificate of Designations. The holders of the Series 2 Preferred Shares have the option to convert such shares into shares of common stock and have the right to vote with holders of common stock on an as-converted basis. If, during the two year period commencing on the date of issuance, the average closing price during any 45 consecutive trading day period equals or exceeds $17.50 per common share, or a change of control transaction (as defined in the Series 2 Certificate of Designations) values the Company’s common stock at $17.50 per share or greater; or after this two year period the average closing price during any 45 day consecutive trading day period or change of control transaction values the common stock at a price equal to or greater than $23.00 per share, then conversion shall be automatic. Upon a Liquidation Event or Deemed Liquidation Event (each as defined in the Series 2 Certificate of Designations), holders of Series 2 Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Company prior to and in preference to the common stock and Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock an amount equal to the greater of (1) the Stated Value, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, and (2) the amount per share as would have been payable had all Series 2 Preferred Shares been converted to common stock immediately before the Liquidation Event or Deemed Liquidation Event. Common Stock – The Company was authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of $0.0001 par value common stock. On May 10, 2017, at the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to reduce the Company’s authorized shares of common stock to 15,000,000. Each share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote at all stockholder meetings. In connection with entering into the Credit Agreement on March 6, 2015, the Company raised approximately $8.6 million in net proceeds through direct sales of 1.7 million shares of its common stock to certain affiliates of the Lender and other accredited investors for a purchase price of $5.50 per share. As a result of the sale to certain affiliates, the Lender is considered a beneficial shareholder of the Company.

8. STOCK OPTIONS

On January 31, 2007, the Board of Directors adopted our 2007 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (the “2007 Plan”), with 210,000 common shares authorized for issuance under the 2007 Plan. In October 2009, the Company’s stockholders approved an increase in the number of shares covered by the 2007 Plan to 420,000 shares. On March 26, 2015, the Board adopted our 2015 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (the “2015 Plan”), with 400,000 common shares authorized for issuance under the 2015 Plan, which was ratified by the Company’s stockholders on September 15, 2015. The 2007 Plan and 2015 Plan are collectively referred to as the “Plans.” Grants under the Plans may consist of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, stock unit awards, dividend equivalents and other stock based awards. Employees, directors and consultants and other service providers are eligible to participate in the Plans. Options granted under the Plans vest over periods ranging from immediately upon grant to a three year period and expire ten years from date of grant. Employees, directors and consultants and other service providers are eligible to participate in the Plans. Options granted under the Plans vest over periods ranging from immediately upon grant to a three years and expire ten years from date of grant.

On April 26, 2018, the Company’s stockholders approved our 2018 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (see Note 11).

Activity in stock options for the three months ended March 31, 2018 follows:

	Number of shares			Weighted average exercise price		Weighted average contractual term (years)		Aggregate intrinsic value
Outstanding at January 1, 2018		335,900		$	5.61
Granted		108,500			3.11
Canceled/Forfeited		(333	)		5.10
Outstanding at March 31, 2018		444,067		$	5.00		7,67	$	39,315
Vested and exercisable at March 31, 2018		266,834		$	5.95		6.39	$	33,000
Vested and exercisable at March 31, 2018 and expected to vest thereafter		438,400		$	5.00		7.67	$	39,315

The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the three month period ending March 31, 2018 was $1.26 per share. The Company measured the fair value of each option award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton (BSM) pricing model with the following assumptions:

	2018
Exercise price	$	2.95 to $ 3.92
Expected life		6 years
Expected volatility		38	%
Dividend yield		0	%
Risk-free interest rate		2.27% to 2.71	%

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

The value of stock options is recognized as compensation expense by the straight line method over the vesting period. Compensation expense recorded for options in the statements of operations was $49,702, and $22,890, for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested options at March 31, 2018 amounted to approximately $215,128, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.3 years.

INCOME TAXES	10. INCOME TAXES As of December 31, 2017, the Company has federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $30,008,000 and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $16,011,000 available to offset future taxable income which expire from 2024 to 2037. The Company expects its effective tax rate for the year ending December 31, 2018 to be zero due to its history of net operating losses and recording a full valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. As a result the Company estimated its effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2018 to be zero. The Company’s use of net operating loss carryforwards may be subject to limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code. Management believes that the deferred tax asset as of March 31, 2018 does not satisfy the realization criteria and has recorded a full valuation allowance to offset the tax asset.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS	11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Amendment to Credit Agreement On April 3, 2018, FlexShopper entered into Amendment No. 6 (the “Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement.

The Commitment Maturity Date (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is one year after the Commitment Termination Date. Additionally, the Amendment amended the Credit Agreement to provide that, among other things, (1) if the Company completes the Equity Raise on or before July 31, 2018, the interest rate margin on loans under the Credit Agreement will be reduced by 3% per annum; (2) the advance rates will be increased to provide additional borrowing capacity; and (3) certain permitted debt and financial covenants are modified.

- Definition

Tabular disclosure of warrants or rights issued. Warrants and rights outstanding are derivative securities that give the holder the right to purchase securities (usually equity) from the issuer at a specific price within a certain time frame. Warrants are often included in a new debt issue to entice investors by a higher return potential. The main difference between warrants and call options is that warrants are issued and guaranteed by the company, whereas options are exchange instruments and are not issued by the company. Also, the lifetime of a warrant is often measured in years, while the lifetime of a typical option is measured in months. Disclose the title of issue of securities called for by warrants and rights outstanding, the aggregate amount of securities called for by warrants and rights outstanding, the date from which the warrants or rights are exercisable, and the price at which the warrant or right is exercisable.

Fifth amendment to credit agreement, description		On January 27, 2017, FlexShopper entered into a fifth amendment to the Credit Agreement (the ''Omnibus Amendment''). The Omnibus Amendment amended the Credit Agreement to, among other things, (1) extend the date after which the Company may no longer borrow additional funds (the ''Commitment Termination Date'') from May 6, 2017 to April 1, 2018 (with a one-time right of extension by the lenders up to August 31, 2018), (2) require the Company to refinance the debt under the Credit Agreement upon a Permitted Change of Control (as defined in the Credit Agreement), subject to the payment of an early termination fee, (3) reduce the interest rate charged on amounts borrowed to be LIBOR plus 14% per annum and reduce the non-usage fee on undrawn amounts if the facility is less than 75% drawn on average, and (4) modify certain permitted debt and financial covenants. These modified covenants consist of a reduction of Equity Book Value to not be less than the sum of $6 million and 20% of any additional equity capital invested into the Company after December 31, 2016; maintaining at least $1.5 million in Unrestricted Cash; and the ratio of Consolidated Total Debt to Equity Book Value not exceeding 4.75:1. On January 9, 2018, the Commitment Termination Date was extended by the lenders from April 1, 2018 to August 31, 2018. The date upon which we must repay all remaining amounts owing under the Credit Agreement (the "Commitment Maturity Date'') is one year after the Commitment Termination Date. The Company was in compliance with its covenants as of March 31, 2018. The Company had $2,720,000 available under the Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2018.
