CAUTIONARY STATEMENT ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

●	the other risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” sections of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

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

FLEXSHOPPER, INC.

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements

For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019

(Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X and in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) applicable to interim financial information. Accordingly, the information presented in the interim financial statements does not include all information and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of FlexShopper, Inc.’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair statement of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for such periods. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in FlexShopper, Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.

The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 contained herein has been derived from audited financial statements.

2. BUSINESS AND LIQUIDITY

FlexShopper, Inc. (“FlexShopper” or the “Company”) is a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware in 2006. The Company owns 100% of FlexShopper, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company, which in turns owns 100% of FlexShopper 1, LLC and FlexShopper 2, LLC. The Company is a holding corporation with no operations except for those conducted by FlexShopper, LLC. FlexShopper, LLC provides through e-commerce sites durable goods to consumers, including customers of third-party retailers and e-tailers, on a lease-to-own (“LTO”) basis.

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

The Commitment Termination Date of the Credit Agreement (see Note 7) is February 28, 2021 and, accordingly, the Company would then start to repay all borrowed amounts under the facility through February 21, 2022. Additionally, $ 3,750,000 and $1,000,000 of Promissory Notes (see Note 6) are due by June 30, 2021 and by April 30, 2021, respectively. The Company anticipates either renegotiating the terms of the Credit Agreement and Promissory Notes with the existing lenders or entering into agreements to refinance the existing arrangements with new lenders prior to the maturity of these agreements. While the Company has been successful in previously refinancing these agreements and the holders of both the Credit Agreement and Promissory Notes are significant equity holders, it cannot provide any assurance that such refinancing’s will be available on terms favorable to the Company or available at all. The inability to refinance the Credit Agreement and/or Promissory Notes could have a material impact to the Company’s operations.

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 for lease payments received prior to their due date is deferred and recognized as revenue in the period to which the payments relate. Revenues from leases and sales are reported net of sales taxes.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - FlexShopper seeks to collect amounts owed under its leases from each customer on a weekly or biweekly basis by charging their bank accounts or credit cards. Accounts receivable are principally comprised of lease payments currently owed to FlexShopper which are past due, as FlexShopper has been unable to successfully collect in the manner described above. 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 June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

	June 30, 2020			December 31, 2019

Accounts receivable	$	21,493,916		$	18,249,273
Allowance for doubtful accounts		(13,523,919	)		(9,976,941	)
Accounts receivable, net	$	7,969,997		$	8,272,332

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. Accounts receivable balances charged off against the allowance were $6,584,965 and $12,017,220 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 respectively and $4,346,498 and $9,376,402 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.

FlexShopper classifies bad debt expense incurred as a reduction of lease revenue and fees within the consolidated statement of operations.

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 net leased merchandise balances consisted of the following as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

	June 30, 2020			December 31, 2019
Lease merchandise at cost	$	47,256,520		$	46,807,570
Accumulated depreciation		(18,762,330	)		(13,518,181	)
Impairment reserve		(2,412,948	)		(2,226,285	)
Lease merchandise, net	$	26,081,242		$	31,063,104

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

Deferred Debt Issuance Costs - Debt issuance costs incurred in conjunction with the Credit Agreement entered into on March 6, 2015, and subsequent amendments are offset against the outstanding balance of the loan payable and are amortized using the straight-line method over the remaining term of the related debt, which approximates the effective interest method. Amortization, which is included in interest expense, was $84,416 and $170,624 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, and $50,431 and $105,271 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.

Debt issuance costs of $60,000 incurred in conjunction with the subordinated Promissory Notes entered into on January 25, 2019 and February 19, 2019 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 $5,471 and $13,609 for three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and $8,138 and $13,563 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.

Intangible Assets - Intangible assets consist of a patent on the Company’s LTO payment method at check-out for third party e-commerce sites. Patents are 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 $598,097 and $1,198,358 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, and $513,645 and $1,060,689 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. Capitalized software amortization expense was $569,217 and $1,005,984 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, and $1,083,247 and $575,066 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.

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

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

Per Share Data - Per share data is computed by use of the two-class method as a result of outstanding Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock, which participates in dividends with the common stock and accordingly has participation rights in undistributed earnings as if all such earnings had been distributed during the period (see Note 8). Under such method income available to common shareholders is computed by deducting both dividends declared or, if not declared, accumulated on Series 2 Convertible Preferred Stock from income from continuing operations and from net income. Loss attributable to common shareholders is computed by increasing loss from continuing operations and net loss by such dividends. Where the Company has undistributed 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 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and the six months ended June 30, 2019, 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. The following table reflects a change in the conversion rates of the Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock and Series 2 Convertible Preferred Stock due to anti-dilution adjustments as a result of FlexShopper’s induced conversion of warrants.

	Six Months ended
	June 30,
	2020		2019
Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock		225,230		216,637
Series 2 Convertible Preferred Stock		5,845,695		5,639,745
Series 2 Convertible Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of warrants		116,903		112,785

Common Stock Warrants		1,872,488		7,342,489
		10,631,727		15,220,807

Stock-Based Compensation - The fair value of transactions in which the Company exchanges its equity instruments for employee and non-employee services (share-based payment transactions) is recognized as 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. The Company has elected to use the Black-Scholes-Merton (BSM) pricing model to determine the fair value of all stock option awards.

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

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 June 30, 2020, and 2019, 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.

4. LEASES

Lease Commitments

In August 2017, FlexShopper entered into a 12-month lease with two additional three-year options for retail store space in West Palm Beach, Florida. In April 2018, FlexShopper exercised its option to extend the term of the lease to September 30, 2021.

In January 2019, FlexShopper entered into a 108-month lease with an option for one additional five-year term for 21,622 square feet of office space in Boca Raton, FL to accommodate FlexShopper’s business and its employees (the “January 2019 Lease”). The monthly rent for this space is approximately $31,500 with annual three percent increases throughout the initial 108-month lease term beginning on the anniversary of the commencement date.

The rental expense for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was approximately $353,000 and $126,000, respectively. At June 30, 2020, the future minimum annual lease payments are approximately as follows:

2020	$	213,000
2021		426,000
2022		417,000
2023		427,000
2024		435,000
Thereafter		1,673,000
	$	3,591,000

Lessor Information - Refer to Note 3 to these condensed consolidated financial statements for further information about the Company’s revenue generating activities as a lessor. All of the Company’s customer agreements are considered operating leases, and the Company currently does not have any sales-type or direct financing leases.

Lessee Information - As a result of ASC 842, Leases, the Company in its position as a lessee has recognized all of its operating and financing leases on the balance sheet as right-to-use asset and lease liabilities. The Company has elected a package of optional practical expedients. As a lessee, the Company leases retail, call center and corporate space under operating leases expiring at various times through 2028. At January 1, 2019, the Company recognized $191,001 of operating lease assets and $191,001 of operating lease liabilities as a result of adopting Topic 842.

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The breakout of operating lease assets, and current and non-current operating lease liabilities at June 30, 2020, is shown in the table below.

Supplemental balance sheet information related to leases is as follows:

	Balance Sheet Classification	June 30, 2020		December 31, 2019
Assets
Operating Lease Asset	Property and Equipment, net	$	1,738,802	$	1,847,932

Finance Lease Liability - net of current portion	Long Term Lease Liabilities		25,837		26,608
Total Lease Liabilities		$	2,179,998	$	2,094,910

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

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

	Weighted Average Discount Rate			Weighted Average Remaining Lease Term (in years)
Operating Leases		13.08	%		8
Finance Leases		13.30	%		4

Upon adoption of Topic 842, discount rates for existing operating leases were established as of January 1, 2019. The discount rate for the new operating lease for space in 901 Yamato Road, Boca Raton, FL was established as of the commencement date of the lease.

Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term within operating expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Finance lease expense is recognized over the lease term within interest expense and amortization in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The Company’s total operating and finance lease expense all relate to lease costs and amounted to $219,767 for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

6. PROMISSORY NOTES-RELATED PARTIES

January 2018 Notes - In January 2018, FlexShopper, LLC entered into letter agreements with Russ Heiser, FlexShopper’s Chief Financial Officer, and NRNS Capital Holdings LLC (“NRNS”), the manager of which is the Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors, respectively (such letter agreements, together, the “Commitment Letters”), pursuant to which FlexShopper, LLC issued a subordinated promissory note to each of Mr. Heiser and NRNS (together, the “Notes”). The Commitment Letters provided that Mr. Heiser and NRNS would each make advances to FlexShopper, LLC under the applicable Note in aggregate amounts up to $1,000,000 and $2,500,000, respectively. Payments of principal and accrued interest are due and payable by FlexShopper, LLC upon 30 days’ prior written notice from the applicable noteholder and the Company can prepay principal and interest at any time without penalty. However, repayment is not permitted without the consent of the Credit Agreement lender. The Notes bear interest at a rate equal to five (5%) per annum in excess of the non-default rate of interest from time to time in effect under the Credit Agreement entered into on March 6, 2015 computed on the basis of a 360-day year, which equaled 16.18% at June 30, 2020.

Upon issuance of the Notes, FlexShopper, LLC 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. On August 29, 2018, FlexShopper, LLC issued amended and restated Notes to Mr. Heiser and NRNS under which (1) the maturity date for such Notes was set at June 30, 2019 and (2) in connection with the completion of an Equity Financing (as defined in the Notes), the holders of such Notes were granted the option to convert up to 50% of the outstanding principal of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon into the securities issued in the Equity Financing at a conversion price equal to the price paid to the Company by the underwriters for such securities, net of the underwriting discount. In connection with the offering of units in September 2018, Mr. Heiser and NRNS elected to convert the convertible portion of the Notes, resulting in the issuance by the Company of 602,974 shares of common stock and 301,487 warrants to Mr. Heiser and 1,507,395 shares of common stock and 753,697 warrants to NRNS.

Prior to Mr. Heiser’s Note maturity date, the Company paid down the entire principal and interest balance on June 28, 2019 in the amount of $507,339. NRNS amended and restated the NRNS Note such that the maturity date of the revised Note was set at June 30, 2021. In addition, the Company drew $500,000 on the Note held by NRNS on June 28, 2019. As of June 30, 2020, $1,772,119 of principal and accrued and unpaid interest was outstanding on NRNS’s Note.

January 2019 Note - On January 25, 2019, FlexShopper, LLC entered into a subordinated debt financing letter agreement with 122 Partners, LLC, as lender, pursuant to which FlexShopper, LLC issued a subordinated promissory note to 122 Partners, LLC (the “January Note”) in the principal amount of $1,000,000. Mr. Heiser, Jr., FlexShopper’s Chief Financial Officer, is a member of 122 Partners, LLC. The Company paid a commitment fee of 2% to the lender totaling $20,000. Payment of the principal amount and accrued interest under the January 2019 Note was due and payable by FlexShopper, LLC on April 30, 2020 and FlexShopper, LLC can prepay principal and interest at any time without penalty. Amounts outstanding under the January Note bear interest at a rate equal to five percent (5.00%) per annum in excess of the non-default rate of interest from time to time in effect under the Credit Agreement, which equaled 16.18% at June 30, 2020. Obligations under the January Note are subordinated to obligations under the Credit Agreement. The January Note is subject to customary representations and warranties and events of default. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, FlexShopper, LLC may be required to repay all amounts outstanding under the January Note. Obligations under the January Note are secured by essentially all of FlexShopper, LLC’s assets, subject to rights of the lenders under the Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2020, $1,013,072 of principal and accrued and unpaid interest was outstanding on the January Note. On April 30, 2020, pursuant to an amendment to the subordinated debt financing letter agreement, FlexShopper, LLC and 122 Partners, LLC agreed to extend the maturity date of the January Note to April 30, 2021.

Payment of principal and accrued interest under the February Note is due and payable by FlexShopper, LLC on June 30, 2021 and FlexShopper, LLC can prepay principal and interest at any time without penalty. Amounts outstanding under the February Note bear interest at a rate equal to five percent (5.00%) per annum in excess of the non-default rate of interest from time to time in effect under the Credit Agreement, which equaled 16.18% at June 30, 2020. Obligations under the February Note are subordinated to obligations under the Credit Agreement. The February Note is subject to customary representations and warranties and events of default. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, FlexShopper, LLC may be required to repay all amounts outstanding under the February Note. Obligations under the February Note are secured by essentially all of FlexShopper, LLC’s assets, subject to rights of the lenders under the Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2020, $2,025,279 of principal and accrued and unpaid interest was outstanding on the February Note.

Amounts payable under the promissory notes are as follows:

	Debt Principal		Interest
2020	$	-	$	60,470
2021	$	4,750,000	$	-

7. LOAN PAYABLE UNDER CREDIT AGREEMENT

On March 6, 2015, FlexShopper, through a wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Borrower”), entered into a credit agreement (as amended from time-to-time and including the Fee Letter (as defined therein), the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as paying agent, various lenders from time to time party thereto and WE 2014-1, LLC, an affiliate of Waterfall Asset Management, LLC, as administrative agent and lender (the “Lender”). The Borrower is permitted to borrow funds under the Credit Agreement based on FlexShopper’s cash on hand and the Amortized Order Value of its Eligible Leases (as such terms are defined in the Credit Agreement) less certain deductions described in the Credit Agreement. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, the Borrower may borrow up to $32,500,000 from the Lender until the Commitment Termination Date and must repay all borrowed amounts one year thereafter, on the date that is 12 months following the Commitment Termination Date (unless such amounts become due or payable on an earlier date pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement). On April 1, 2019, the Commitment Termination Date was extended to February 28, 2021. The Lender was granted a security interest in certain leases as collateral under the Credit Agreement. The interest rate charged on amounts borrowed is LIBOR plus 11% per annum. At June 30, 2020, amounts borrowed bear interest at 11.18%. As of June 30, 2020, FlexShopper had borrowed approximately 100% of the available amount based on the Eligible Leases in the portfolio.

The Credit Agreement provides that FlexShopper may not incur additional indebtedness (other than expressly permitted indebtedness) without the permission of the Lender and also prohibits dividends on common stock. Additionally, the Credit Agreement includes covenants requiring FlexShopper to maintain a minimum amount of Equity Book Value, maintain a minimum amount of Unrestricted Cash (including a reserve upon which the Lender may draw to satisfy unpaid amounts under the Credit Agreement) and maintain a certain ratio of Consolidated Total Debt to Equity Book Value (each capitalized term, as defined in the Credit Agreement). Upon a Permitted Change of Control (as defined in the Credit Agreement), FlexShopper must refinance the debt under the Credit Agreement, subject to the payment of an early termination fee. A summary of the covenant requirements, and FlexShopper’s actual results at June 30, 2020, follows:

	June 30, 2020
	Required Covenant		Actual Position

Equity Book Value not less than	$	8,000,000	$	10,665,110
Unrestricted Cash greater than		1,500,000		9,851,009
Consolidated Total Debt to Equity Book Value ratio not to exceed		4.75		3.03

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.

Availability under the Credit Agreement is subject to a borrowing base which is redetermined from time to time and based on specific advance rates on eligible current assets. 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 amounted to $763,910 and $1,665,440 for the three and the six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, and $735,619 and $1,689,529 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. As of June 30, 2020, the outstanding balance under the Credit Agreement was $25,733,626. Such amount is presented in the consolidated balance sheet net of unamortized issuance costs of $110,514. Interest is payable monthly on the outstanding balance of the amounts borrowed.

8. CAPITAL STRUCTURE

The Company’s capital structure consists of preferred and common stock as described below:

Preferred Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 500,000 shares of $0.001 par value preferred stock. Of this amount, 250,000 shares have been designated as Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock and 25,000 shares have been designated as Series 2 Convertible Preferred Stock. The Company’s Board of Directors determines the rights and preferences of the Company’s preferred stock.

●	Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock - Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock ranks senior to common stock upon liquidation.

As of June 30, 2020, each share of Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock was convertible into 1.32230 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.

859 shares of Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock were converted into 1,136 shares of common stock during the three months ended June 30, 2020.

As of June 30, 2020, there were 170,332 shares of Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding, which were convertible into 225,230 shares of common stock.

●

Series 2 Convertible Preferred Stock - The Company sold to B2 FIE V LLC (the “Investor”), an entity affiliated with Pacific Investment Management Company LLC, 20,000 shares of Series 2 Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series 2 Preferred Stock”) for gross proceeds of $20.0 million. The Company sold an additional 1,952 shares of Series 2 Preferred Stock to a different investor for gross proceeds of $1.95 million at a subsequent closing.

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 June 30, 2020 totaled approximately $9,612,529. As of June 30, 2020, each Series 2 Preferred Share was convertible into approximately 266 shares of common stock; however, the conversion rate is subject to further increase pursuant to a weighted average anti-dilution provision. The holders of the Series 2 Preferred Stock 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 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), holders of Series 2 Preferred Stock 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 shares of Series 2 Preferred Stock been converted to common stock immediately before the Liquidation Event or Deemed Liquidation Event.

Common Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 40,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share. Each share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote at all stockholder meetings. The common stock is traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “FPAY.”

Warrants

In September 2018, the Company issued warrants exercisable for 5,750,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.25 per share (the “Public Warrants”). The warrants were immediately exercisable and expire five years from the date of issuance. The warrants were listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “FPAYW” (See note 11).

The Company also issued additional warrants exercisable for an aggregate 1,055,184 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.25 per warrant to Mr. Heiser and NRNS in connection with partial conversions of their promissory notes. The warrants are exercisable at $1.25 per share of common stock and expire on September 28, 2023.

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

As part of a consulting agreement with XLR8 Capital Partners LLC (the “Consultant”), an entity of which the Company’s Chairman is manager, the Company agreed to issue 40,000 warrants to the Consultant monthly for 12 months beginning on March 1, 2019 at an exercise price of $1.25 per share or, if the closing share price on the last day of the month exceeds $1.25, then such exercise price will be 110% of the closing share price. The warrants are immediately exercisable and expire following the close of business on June 30, 2023. In February 2020, this agreement was extended for an additional six months through August 31, 2020.

9. STOCK OPTIONS

On April 26, 2018 at the Company’s annual meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved the FlexShopper, Inc. 2018 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (the “2018 Plan”). Upon the 2018 Plan’s approval, approximately 1,057,000 shares of Company common stock were available for issuance thereunder, consisting of 750,000 shares authorized for issuance under the 2018 Plan and an aggregate 307,000 shares then remaining available for issuance under the Company’s 2007 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (the “2007 Plan”) and 2015 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (the “2015 Plan”, and together with the 2007 Plan, the “Prior Plans”). The 2018 Plan replaced the Prior Plans. No new awards will be granted under the Prior Plans; however, awards outstanding under the Prior Plans upon approval of the 2018 Plan remain subject to and will be paid under the applicable Prior Plan.

On February 21, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors approved Amendment No. 1 to the 2018 Plan, subject to stockholder approval. On May 2, 2019, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2018 Plan Amendment that increased (a) the total number of shares available for issuance under the 2018 Plan by 1,000,000 shares and (b) the number of shares available for issuance as “incentive stock options” within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Section 422 by 1,000,000 shares.

On April 24, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an Amendment to the 2018 Plan, subject to stockholder approval. On June 10, 2020, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2018 Plan Amendment that increased (a) the total number of shares available for issuance under the 2018 Plan by 1,000,000 shares and (b) the number of shares available for issuance as “incentive stock options” within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Section 422 by 1,000,000 shares.

Grants under the 2018 Plan and the Prior Plans 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 2018 Plan and the Prior Plans. Options granted under the 2018 Plan and the Prior Plans vest over periods ranging from immediately upon grant to a three-year period and expire ten years from date of grant.

Activity in stock options for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019 is as follows:

	Number of options			Weighted average exercise price		Weighted average contractual term (years)		Aggregate intrinsic value
Outstanding at January 1, 2020		2,004,318		$	1.72			$	2,542,361
Granted		634,756			2.58
Forfeited		(64,330	)		0.92				18,520
Exercise		(3,333	)		0.79				3,166
Outstanding at June 30, 2020		2,571,411		$	1.95		7.94	$	1,165,626
Vested and exercisable at June 30, 2020		1,623,746		$	1.97		8.23	$	971,228

Outstanding at January 1, 2019		620,900		$	3.75
Granted		1,334,851			0.85
Forfeited		(21,600	)		1.35				855
Expired		(25,000	)		6.2
Outstanding at June 30, 2019		1,909.151		$	1.72		9.12	$	379,582
Vested and exercisable at June 30, 2019		742,434		$	2.76		8.34	$	108,686

The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019 was $1.52 and $0.52 per share respectively. 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:

	Six Months ended
	June 30,
	2020			2019
Exercise price	$	2.58		$	0.85
Expected life		5 years			6.8 years
Expected volatility		71	%		63	%
Dividend yield		0	%		0	%
Risk-free interest rate		1.23	%		2.40	%

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

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 consolidated statements of operations was $452,033 and $623,848 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, and $303,243 and $328,772 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. Unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested options at June 30, 2020 amounted to approximately $807,000, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.43 years.

10. INCOME TAXES

As of June 30, 2020, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards (“NOL”) of approximately $66,900,000 and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $6,000,000 available to offset future taxable income which expire from 2024 to 2037. NOL’s created after January 1, 2018 do not expire, but are limited.

Management believes that the federal and state deferred tax asset as of June 30, 2020 does not satisfy the realization criteria and has recorded a full valuation allowance to offset the deferred tax asset.

11. EXCHANGE OFFER OF WARRANTS

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

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

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

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

12. CONTINGENCIES AND OTHER UNCERTAINTIES

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

13. COMMITMENTS

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

14. PROMISSORY NOTE- PAYCHECK PROTECTION PROGRAM

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

The Loan is evidenced by a promissory note (the “Note”), dated April 30, 2020, issued by the Borrower to the Lender. The Note matures on April 30, 2022, and bears interest at the rate of 1.00% per annum, payable monthly commencing on November 30, 2020, following an initial deferral period as specified under the PPP. The Note may be prepaid by the Borrower at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalty. Proceeds from the Loan will be available to the Borrower to fund designated expenses, including certain payroll costs, group health care benefits and other permitted expenses, in accordance with the PPP. Under the terms of the PPP, up to the entire sum of the principal amount and accrued interest may be forgiven to the extent the Loan proceeds are used for qualifying expenses as described in the CARES Act and applicable implementing guidance issued by the U.S. Small Business Administration under the PPP. The Company intends to cause the Borrower to use the entire Loan amount for designated qualifying expenses and to apply for forgiveness of the Loan in accordance with the terms of the PPP following the covered period which is defined as 8 or 24 weeks from the date of receipt of loan proceeds. The Company intends to apply for full forgiveness.

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

This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes appearing at the end of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business and related financing, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The “Risk Factors” section of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 should be read for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.

As a result of the evolving impact of COVID-19 on the economy, on May 6, 2020, we withdrew our 2020 full-year guidance. At FlexShopper, our highest priority remains the safety, health and well-being of our employees, their families and our communities and we remain committed to serving the needs of our customers. The COVID-19 pandemic is a highly fluid situation and it is not currently possible for us to reasonably estimate the impact it may have on our financial and operating results. We will continue to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business as we learn more and the impact of COVID-19 on our industry becomes clearer.

Executive Overview

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

Summary of Critical Accounting Policies

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

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - FlexShopper seeks to collect amounts owed under its leases from each customer on a weekly or biweekly basis by charging their bank accounts or credit cards. Accounts receivable are principally comprised of lease payments currently owed to FlexShopper which are past due as FlexShopper has been unable to successfully collect in the manner described above. An allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated 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 June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

	June 30, 2020			December 31, 2019

Accounts receivable	$	21,493,916		$	18,249,273
Allowance for doubtful accounts		(13,523,919	)		(9,976,941	)
Accounts receivable, net	$	7,969,997		$	8,272,332

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

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

Key Performance Metrics

We regularly review several metrics, including the following key metrics, to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate financial projections and make strategic decisions.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Operations

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

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

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

The Company believes it has a competitive advantage over competitors in the LTO industry by providing all three channels as a bundled package to retailers and e-retailers. Management is anticipating a rapid development of the FlexShopper business as we are able to penetrate each of our sales channels. To support our anticipated growth, FlexShopper will need the availability of substantial capital resources. See the section captioned “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2020, the Company had cash of $9,851,009 compared to $2,791,829 at the same date in 2019. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had cash of $6,868,472. The increase in cash from December 31, 2019, was primarily due to the proceeds received under the Paycheck Protection Program.

As of June 30, 2020, the Company had accounts receivable of $21,493,916 offset by an allowance for doubtful accounts of $13,523,919, resulting in net accounts receivable of $7,969,997. Accounts receivable are principally comprised of lease payments owed to the Company. An allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated based upon historical collection and delinquency percentages.

Financing Activity

On January 25, 2019, FlexShopper, LLC entered into a subordinated debt financing letter agreement with 122 Partners, LLC, as lender, pursuant to which FlexShopper, LLC issued a subordinated promissory note to 122 Partners, LLC (the “January Note”) in the principal amount of $1,000,000. H. Russell Heiser, Jr., FlexShopper’s Chief Financial Officer, is a member of 122 Partners, LLC. Payment of the principal amount and accrued interest under the January Note was due and payable by FlexShopper, LLC on April 30, 2020 and FlexShopper, LLC can prepay principal and interest at any time without penalty. Amounts outstanding under the January Note bear interest at a rate equal to five percent (5.00%) per annum in excess of the non-default rate of interest from time to time in effect under the Credit Agreement. Obligations under the January Note are subordinated to obligations under the Credit Agreement. The January Note is subject to customary representations and warranties and events of default. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the Borrower may be required to repay all amounts outstanding under the January Note. Obligations under the January Note are secured by essentially all of FlexShopper, LLC’s assets, subject to the senior rights of the lenders under the Credit Agreement. On April 30, 2020, pursuant to an amendment to the subordinated debt financing letter agreement, FlexShopper, LLC and 122 Partners, LLC agreed to extend the maturity date of the January Note to April 30, 2021.

On February 19, 2019, FlexShopper, LLC entered into a letter agreement with NRNS Capital Holdings LLC (“NRNS”), the manager of which is the Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors, pursuant to which FlexShopper, LLC issued a subordinated promissory note to NRNS (the “February Note”) in the principal amount of $2,000,000.

Financial Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic

COVID-19 has had an impact on the Company. The primary impacts have included a transition to a significant amount of remote workers as well as changes to customer origination sources. Fortunately, regarding tele-work, our South Florida location required a thorough Hurricane Impact plan that enabled all our employees to work remotely if required. Early in the second quarter of 2020, FlexShopper pivoted that Hurricane Plan to a COVID-19 plan in order to allow employees to work outside of the office. As of the end of July, approximately 80% of our employees are working remotely. All employees via specially configured laptops are able to access the same data and have the same functionality as if they were in the office. FlexShopper is currently exploring options to bring employees back into the workplace on a rotational basis.

The other primary impact has been on customer origination sources. Pre-COVID-19, approximately 40% of new customers were obtained through brick and mortar or B2B retailers. The pandemic-related closing and limited operations of retailers, as well as shelter in place orders, limited our new customers from this channel over the second quarter and will continue to have an impact while COVID-19 mandates limit operations of retailers. Origination amounts in these channels are currently almost 70% of their February results, have recovered substantially from their lowest point in the second quarter and continue to show improvement as time goes on. However, it is unclear at the moment when this origination channel, on a per location basis, will recover to pre-COVID-19 levels. Additionally, in mid-March, both in the B2C and B2B verticals, FlexShopper reduced approval rates in order to add only new customers that would exhibit exceptional payment performance given the unknown time and breadth of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company continues to observe and evaluate the performance of different tranches of the customer portfolio in order to adjust approval rates going forward. Finally, the COVID-19 environment delayed the rollout of some B2B initiatives, although as of the beginning of August it looks like the obstacles to adding new retailers have been mitigated.

Areas of the business that have not been negatively impacted by COVID-19, but potentially positively impacted, include the payment rate of the portfolio. The percentage of delinquent consumers has decreased since the end of the first quarter. That has resulted in better portfolio performance than was observed prior to COVID-19. While a portion of this is related to modification to underwriting that started in the fourth quarter of 2019, there is also an unknown portion of this improved performance attributable to the government stimulus. Moreover, the improved performance coupled with participation in the CARES Act programs has enabled FlexShopper to increase cash. COVID-19 has not jeopardized FlexShopper’s ability to satisfy the Credit Agreement covenants.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not applicable.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based closely on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” in Rule 13a-15(e). In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level at June 30, 2020.

There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

We are not currently a party to any pending legal proceedings that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. We may, however, be subject to various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business from time to time.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed under Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. These factors could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and capital position, and could cause our actual results to differ materially from our historical results or the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained in this report.

Our business and results of operations will be, and our financial condition may be, impacted by the outbreak of COVID-19 and such impact could be materially adverse.

The global spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has created significant volatility, uncertainty and economic disruption. The extent to which the coronavirus pandemic impacts our business, operations and financial results is uncertain and will depend on numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict, including:

●

the duration and scope of the pandemic;

●

governmental, business and individual actions taken in response to the pandemic and the impact of those actions on national and global economic activity;

●

the actions taken in response to economic disruption;

●

the impact of business disruptions and reductions in employment levels on our customers and the resulting impact on their demand for our services and solutions;

●

the increase in business failures among small- and mid-sized businesses that we serve;

●

our customers’ ability to pay for our services and solutions; and

●

our ability to provide our services and solutions, including as a result of our employees or our customers’ employees working remotely and/or closures of offices and facilities.

Any of these factors could cause or contribute to the risks and uncertainties identified in our fiscal 2019 Form 10-K and could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. For more information regarding the impact of COVID-19 on our Company, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations- Financial Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic”
