Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements

For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018

(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, 2018.

The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 contained herein has been derived from audited financial statements.

2. BUSINESS

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 of 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 against the lease portfolio and from promissory notes have provided the liquidity and capital resources necessary to fund its operations. Management believes that liquidity needs for future growth for at least the next 12 months can be met by cash flow from operations generated by the existing portfolio and/or additional borrowings against the Credit Agreement (see Note 7).

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 monthly 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, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

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 $4,346,498 and $9,376,402 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, and $3,013,914 and $7,442,190 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, 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 net leased merchandise balances consisted of the following as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

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 (see Note 7) 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 $50,431 and $105,271 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, and $139,903 and $258,307 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, 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 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 $21,000 and $35,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, 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 (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 $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 $513,645 and $1,060,689 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, and $709,561 and $1,007,387 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. The Company wrote off $102,332 of capitalized development costs in the 2 ^nd quarter of 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, 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 for 2019 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 September 2018 equity offering.

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 (see Note 9).

Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The carrying value of loans payable under the Credit Agreement increased by unamortized issuance costs (see Note 7) and notes payable approximates fair value. The carrying value of cash, receivables, and payables approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.

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, 2019, and 2018, 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 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. 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. The Company has determined that the new standard will not materially impact the timing of revenue recognition. The new standard resulted in the Company classifying bad debt expense incurred as a reduction of lease revenue and fees within the consolidated statements of earnings including retrospective presentation of prior year financial information. As a result of the change in presentation, the breakout of lease revenues and fees, net of lessor bad debt expense, that ties the consolidated statements of operations is shown below:

The new standard also impacted the Company as a lessee by requiring all of its operating leases to be recognized on the balance sheet as a right-to-use asset and lease liability. The Company has elected a package of optional practical expedients which includes the option to retain the current classification of leases entered into prior to January 1, 2019. The Company has concluded that there is no material impact to the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of operations, or consolidated statements of cash flows as a result of the new standard. The Company adopted this new guidance on January 1, 2019 (see Note 4 below).

4. LEASES

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 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 ASU 2016-02.

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating lease assets and liabilities are included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet beginning January 1, 2019. The breakout of operating lease assets, and current and non-current operating lease liabilities at June 30, 2019, is shown in the table below.

Supplemental balance sheet information related to leases is as follows:

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 operating leases:

Upon adoption of ASU 2016-02, discount rates for existing operating leases were established as of January 1, 2019. The discount rate for the new operating lease related to 901 Yamato Road, Boca Raton, FL was established as of June 1, 2019.

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. The Company’s total operating lease expenses all relate to operating lease costs and amounted to $101,668 and $166,459 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.

Supplemental cash flow information related to operating leases is as follows:

The new operating lease asset obtained in exchange for operating lease liabilities, as shown above, does not include the $14,900 of direct costs associated with the new operating lease capitalized as part of the right-of-use asset.

Below is a summary of undiscounted operating lease liabilities as of June 30, 2019. The table also includes a reconciliation of the future undiscounted cash flows to the present value of the operating lease liabilities included in the consolidated balance sheet.

The Company entered into an office lease in January 2019. The lease commenced in June 2019, at which time the Company recognized the operating lease asset and liability. The Company pays a base monthly rent of $31,532 with payments increasing by 3% on each yearly anniversary of the commencement date. The initial lease term is for 9 years with the Company having a one-time option to extend for 5 years.

Depreciation and amortization expense were $592,836 and $461,761 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $1,116,770 and $896,666 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

6. PROMISSORY NOTES

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 (see Note 7) computed on the basis of a 360-day year, which equaled 18.39% at June 30, 2019.

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, 2019, $1,769,030 of principal and accrued and unpaid interest was outstanding on NRNS’s Note.

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, 2019, $1,015,451 of principal and accrued and unpaid interest was outstanding on the January Note.

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, 2019, $2,031,965 of principal and accrued and unpaid interest was outstanding on the February Note.

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. At June 30, 2019, amounts borrowed bear interest at 13.39%.

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, 2019, follows:

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. Interest expense incurred under the Credit Agreement amounted to $735,619 and $1,689,529 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, and $716,272 and $1,414,224 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. As of June 30, 2019, the outstanding balance under the Credit Agreement was $20,707,641. Such amount is presented in the consolidated balance sheet net of unamortized issuance costs of $226,963. The Company borrowed $117,015 and subsequently repaid $2,590,000 in the second quarter of 2019 as a result of the pay down of the seasonal advance. Interest is payable monthly on the outstanding balance of the amounts borrowed. No principal is expected to be repaid in the next twelve months due to the Commitment Termination Date having been extended to February 28, 2021, or from reductions in the borrowing base. Accordingly, all principal is shown as a non-current liability at June 30, 2019.

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 preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. 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 has the right to determine the rights and preferences of any future designation of the Company’s preferred stock, subject to the terms of the Series 1 and Series 2 Convertible Preferred Stock.

As of June 30, 2019, each share of Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock was convertible into 1.26547 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.

68,214 shares of Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock were converted into 86,323 shares of common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2019. As of June 30, 2019, there were 171,191 shares of Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding, which are convertible into 216,637 shares of common stock.

Shares of Series 2 Preferred Stock 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, 2019 totaled approximately $7,173,651. As of June 30, 2019, each share of Series 2 Preferred Stock was convertible into approximately 257 shares of common stock; provided 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 warrants are immediately exercisable and expire five years from the date of issuance. The warrants are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “FPAYW.”

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 (see Note 6).

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.

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, 2019 follows:

The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 was $0.52 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:

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 $303,243 and $328,772 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, and $22,779 and $72,481 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. Unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested options at June 30, 2019 amounted to approximately $548,396, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.14 years.
