Note 1. Organization and Nature of Operations
OppFi Inc. (“OppFi”), formerly FG New America Acquisition Corp. (“FGNA”), collectively with its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“Company”), is a leading mission-driven financial technology platform that powers banks to offer accessible lending products to everyday consumers through its proprietary technology and artificial intelligence and a top-rated experience. OppFi’s platform facilitates the installment loan products, OppLoans and SalaryTap, and the credit card product, OppFi Card.
On July 20, 2021 (“Closing Date”), the Company completed a business combination pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement (“Business Combination Agreement”), dated as of February 9, 2021, by and among Opportunity Financial, LLC (“OppFi-LLC”), a Delaware limited liability company, OppFi Shares, LLC (“OFS”), a Delaware limited liability company, and Todd Schwartz (“Members’ Representative”), in his capacity as the representative of the members of OppFi-LLC (“Members”) immediately prior to the closing (“Closing”) of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (“Business Combination”). At the Closing, FGNA changed its name to “OppFi Inc.” OppFi’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”) and redeemable warrants exercisable for Class A Common Stock (“Public Warrants”) are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the symbols “OPFI” and “OPFI WS,” respectively.
Following the Closing, the Company is organized in an “Up-C” structure in which substantially all of the assets and the business of the Company are held by OppFi-LLC and its subsidiaries, and OppFi’s only direct assets consist of Class A common units of OppFi-LLC (“OppFi Units”). As of September 30, 2021, OppFi owned approximately 12.2 % of the OppFi Units and controls OppFi-LLC as the sole manager of OppFi-LLC in accordance with the terms of the Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of OppFi-LLC (“OppFi A&R LLCA”). All remaining OppFi Units (the “Retained OppFi Units”) are beneficially owned by the Members. OFS holds a controlling voting interest in OppFi through its ownership of shares of Class V common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of OppFi (“Class V Voting Stock”) in an amount equal to the number of Retained OppFi Units and therefore has the ability to control OppFi-LLC.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of OppFi and OppFi-LLC with its wholly-owned subsidiaries: Opportunity Funding SPE II, LLC, Opportunity Funding SPE III, LLC, Opportunity Funding SPE IV, LLC, Opportunity Funding SPE V, LLC, Opportunity Funding SPE VI, LLC, Opportunity Funding SPE VII, Opportunity Funding SPE VIII, OppWin, LLC, Opportunity Manager, LLC, Opportunity Financial Card Company, LLC, OppWin Card, LLC, SalaryTap, LLC, OppWin SalaryTap LLC and SalaryTap Funding SPE LLC.
In 2019, OppFi-LLC ceased the origination of unsecured lines of credit. As of September 30, 2021, OppFi-LLC did not have any outstanding finance receivables relating to lines of credit.
In 2017, OppFi-LLC entered into a preferred return agreement with Midtown Madison Management LLC, an unrelated third party, which required OppFi-LLC to create a bankruptcy protected entity named Opportunity Funding SPE II, LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company and a wholly owned subsidiary. Under the terms of the agreement, Opportunity Funding SPE II, LLC acquires receivables from OppFi-LLC and OppWin LLC, and the third party receives a future preferred economic interest in these assets. OppFi-LLC continues to service the assets in accordance with the terms of the agreement but is required to maintain a backup servicing agreement. This transaction is being accounted for as a secured borrowing payable and the entity holds all assets on its balance sheet, which collateralize the debt.
In 2018, OppFi-LLC entered into a credit agreement with Ares Agent Services L.P. which required OppFi-LLC to create a bankruptcy protected entity named Opportunity Funding SPE III, LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company and a wholly owned subsidiary. Under the terms of the agreement, Opportunity Funding SPE III, LLC uses the proceeds from the credit facility to acquire receivables from OppFi-LLC and OppWin, LLC, which the lender receives first priority lien on all of the entity’s assets. OppFi-LLC continues to service the assets in accordance with the terms of the agreement but is required to maintain a backup servicing agreement. This transaction is accounted for as senior debt in which this bankruptcy protected entity holds all assets on its balance sheet, which collateralize the debt.
In 2019, OppFi-LLC entered into a credit agreement with BMO Harris Bank N.A, an unrelated third party, which required OppFi-LLC to create a bankruptcy protected entity named Opportunity Funding SPE IV, LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company and a wholly owned subsidiary. Under the terms of the agreement, Opportunity Funding SPE IV, LLC uses the proceeds from the credit facility to acquire receivables from OppFi-LLC and OppWin, LLC, which the lender receives first priority lien on all of the entity’s assets. OppFi-LLC continues to service the assets in accordance with the terms of the agreement but is required to maintain a backup servicing agreement. This transaction is accounted for as senior debt in which this bankruptcy protected entity holds all assets on its balance sheet, which collateralize the debt. OppFi-LLC provides a financial guaranty in connection with this credit agreement.
On September 30, 2021, the credit agreement with BMO Harris Bank N.A. was amended to require OppFi-LLC to create a bankruptcy protected entity named SalaryTap Funding SPE, LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company and a wholly owned subsidiary. Under the terms of the agreement, as amended, SalaryTap Funding SPE, LLC uses the proceeds from the existing credit facility to acquire receivables from SalaryTap, LLC and OppWin SalaryTap, LLC, which the lender receives first priority lien on all of the entity’s assets. SalaryTap, LLC continues to service the assets in accordance with the terms of the agreement but is required to maintain a backup servicing agreement. This transaction is accounted for as senior debt in which this bankruptcy protected entity holds all assets on its balance sheet, which collateralize the debt.
In 2019, OppFi-LLC entered into a credit agreement with Midtown Madison Management LLC which required OppFi-LLC to create a bankruptcy protected entity named Opportunity Funding SPE V, LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company and a wholly owned subsidiary. Under the terms of the agreement, Opportunity Funding SPE V, LLC uses the proceeds from the credit facility to acquire receivables from OppFi-LLC and OppWin, LLC, which the lender receives first priority lien on all of the entity’s assets. OppFi-LLC continues to service the assets in accordance with the terms of the agreement but is required to maintain a backup servicing agreement. This transaction is accounted for as senior debt in which this bankruptcy protected entity holds all assets on its balance sheet, which collateralize the debt.
In 2019, OppFi-LLC entered into a credit agreement with Ares Agent Services, L.P., an unrelated third party, which required OppFi-LLC to create a bankruptcy protected entity named Opportunity Funding SPE VI, LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company and a wholly owned subsidiary. Under the terms of the agreement, Opportunity Funding SPE VI, LLC uses the proceeds from the credit facility to acquire receivables from OppFi-LLC and OppWin, LLC, which the lender receives first priority lien on all of the entity’s assets. OppFi-LLC continues to service the assets in accordance with the terms of the
10
agreement but is required to maintain a backup servicing agreement. This transaction is accounted for as senior debt in which this bankruptcy protected entity holds all assets on its balance sheet, which collateralize the debt.
OppFi-LLC has entered into bank partnership arrangements with certain Utah-chartered banks (the “Banks”) insured by the FDIC. Under the terms and conditions of the agreement, the Banks originate finance receivables based on criteria provided by OppFi-LLC. After an initial holding period, OppFi-LLC has committed to acquire the participation rights to the finance receivables originated by the Banks. To facilitate these relationships, OppFi-LLC formed OppWin, LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of OppFi-LLC. OppWin, LLC acquires the participation rights in the economic interest in the finance receivables originated by the Banks. Subsequently, OppWin, LLC sells these rights to Opportunity Funding SPE II, LLC, Opportunity Funding SPE III, LLC, Opportunity Funding SPE IV, LLC, Opportunity Funding SPE V, LLC and Opportunity Funding SPE VI, LLC, which in turn, pledge the participation rights to their respective lenders. The Company accounts for the participation rights as a finance receivable. As part of these bank partnership arrangements, the Banks have the ability to retain a percentage of the finance receivables they have originated. OppFi-LLC’s economic interest and acquired participation rights are reduced by the percentage retained by the Banks.
Basis of presentation: The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the US (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information and include the accounts of OppFi Inc. and OppFi-LLC with its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “OppFi Subsidiaries”) as of September 30, 2021. The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 is derived from OppFi-LLC’s annual audited financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the results and financial position for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2021.
The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with OppFi-LLC’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2020 contained in OppFi’s Registration Statement on Form S-1, filed with the SEC on August 11, 2021, as amended.
The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations. Under this method, FGNA was treated as the “acquired” company, and OppFi-LLC, as the accounting acquirer, was assumed to have issued equity for the net assets of FGNA, accompanied by a recapitalization.
Principles of consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the above named entities. Opportunity Funding SPE II, LLC, Opportunity Funding SPE III, LLC, Opportunity Funding SPE IV, LLC, Opportunity Funding SPE V, LLC, Opportunity Funding SPE VI, LLC, Opportunity Funding SPE VII, LLC and SalaryTap Funding SPE, LLC are special purpose entities holding finance receivables secured by lenders under a credit or preferred return agreement.
OppFi has identified Opportunity Funding SPE II, LLC, Opportunity Funding SPE III, LLC, Opportunity Funding SPE IV, LLC, Opportunity Funding SPE V, LLC, Opportunity Funding SPE VI, LLC, Opportunity Funding SPE VII, LLC and SalaryTap Funding SPE, LLC as VIEs. OppFi-LLC is the sole equity member of all of the aforementioned entities, except for SalaryTap Funding SPE, LLC. SalaryTap, LLC is the sole equity member of SalaryTap Funding SPE, LLC. The Company directs the activities of the VIEs that most significantly impact economic performance. Additionally, the Company has the obligation to absorb losses of the VIEs that could potentially be significant. As the primary beneficiary of the VIEs, the Company has consolidated the financial statements of the VIEs. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
11
Use of estimates: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions, including those impacted by COVID-19, that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and operations 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.
The judgements, assumptions, and estimates used by management are based on historical experience, management’s experience and qualitative factors. The areas subject to significant estimation techniques are the determination of fair value of installment finance receivables and warrants, and the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses on finance receivables. For the aforementioned estimates, it is reasonably possible the recorded amounts or related disclosures could significantly change in the near future as new information is available.
Income recognition: The Company recognizes finance charges on installment contracts and lines of credit based on the interest method. Under this method, interest is earned over the lives of the finance receivables to produce constant rates of interest (yields). Fees for returned payments approximate the cost of services provided and are recognized as incurred, assuming collectability is reasonably assured.
The Company discontinues and reverses the accrual of interest income on installment contracts at the earlier of 60 days past due based on a recency basis or 90 days past due based on a contractual basis. The accrual of income is not resumed until the account is current on a recency or contractual basis, at which time management considers collectability to be probable.
CSO arrangements: In Texas and Ohio, OppFi-LLC previously arranged for consumers to obtain finance receivable products from independent third-party lenders as part of the CSO Program. For the consumer finance receivable products originated by the third-party lenders under the CSO Program, the lenders were responsible for providing the criteria by which the consumer's application was underwritten and, if approved, determining the amount of the finance receivable. When a consumer executed an agreement with OppFi-LLC under the CSO Program, OppFi-LLC agreed, for a fee payable to OppFi-LLC by the consumer, to provide certain services to the consumer, one of which was to guarantee the consumer's obligation to repay the finance receivable obtained by the consumer from the third-party lender if the consumer failed to do so.
On April 23, 2019, the Company discontinued the CSO Program in Ohio, and no new finance receivables were originated through this program after that date. As of September 30, 2021, there were no finance receivables remaining under the CSO Program in Ohio.
On March 19, 2021, the Company discontinued the CSO Program in Texas. As of September 30, 2021, there were no finance receivables remaining under the CSO Program in Texas.
The guarantees represented an obligation to purchase specific finance receivables that are delinquent, secured by a collateral account established in favor of the respective lenders.
As of December 31, 2020, the unpaid principal balance of off-balance sheet active finance receivables which were guaranteed by the Company was $19,722 thousand. Upon the election of the fair value option for installment loan finance receivables on January 1, 2021, the Company released the reserve for repurchase liabilities as the income rights and related losses were included in the valuation of finance receivables at fair value, which was included in the fair value adjustment to retained earnings. As of December 31, 2020, the Company recorded a reserve for repurchase liabilities of $4,241 thousand, which represents the liability for estimated losses on finance receivables guaranteed. The Company used a similar methodology for determining the reserve for repurchase liabilities as it does for calculating the allowance for credit losses on finance receivables.
12
Participation rights purchase obligations: OppFi-LLC has entered into bank partnership arrangements with certain Banks insured by the FDIC. Under the terms and conditions of the bank partnership agreements, the Banks originate finance receivables based on criteria provided by OppFi-LLC. The issuing Bank earns interest during an initial hold period and owns the economic interest in the finance receivables. After the initial holding period, OppFi-LLC is committed to acquire participation rights in the economic interest in the finance receivables originated by the Banks, net of bank partnership retention, plus accrued interest (“Participation Rights”). OppFi-LLC also provides certain services for these receivables in its capacity of sub-servicer pursuant to the terms of the servicing agreement between the Bank and OppFi-LLC. To facilitate these relationships, OppFi-LLC formed OppWin, LLC, which acquires the Participation Rights and sells these rights to certain of the other OppFi Subsidiaries, which in turn, pledge the participation rights to their respective lenders. The Company accounts for the Participation Rights as a finance receivable. As part of these bank partnership arrangements, the Banks have the ability to retain a percentage of the finance receivables they have originated, and OppFi-LLC’s Participation Rights are reduced by the percentage of the finance receivables retained by the Banks.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, finance receivables originated through the bank partnership arrangements totaled 88 % and 61 %, respectively. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the unpaid principal balance of finance receivables outstanding for purchase was $7,976 thousand and $3,307 thousand, respectively.
Finance receivables: Prior to January 1, 2021, finance receivables, which management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff, are reported based on outstanding unpaid principal balance net of accrued interest and fees, unamortized loan origination costs and the allowance for credit losses.
On January 1, 2021, the Company elected the fair value option on its installment finance receivables. Accordingly, the related finance receivables are carried at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets and the changes in fair value are included in the consolidated statements of operations. To derive the fair value, the Company generally utilizes discounted cash flow analyses that factor in estimated losses and prepayments over the estimated duration of the underlying assets. Loss and prepayment assumptions are determined using historical loss data and include appropriate consideration of recent trends and anticipated future performance. Future cash flows are discounted using a rate of return that the Company believes a market participant would require. Accrued interest and fees are included in “Finance receivables at fair value” in the consolidated balance sheets. Interest income is included in “Interest and loan related income, net” in the consolidated statements of operations.
13
on an evaluation of the collectability of the finance receivables and prior loss experience. This evaluation also took into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the finance receivable portfolio, overall portfolio quality and current economic conditions that may affect the borrower's ability to pay. While management used the best information available to make its evaluation, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if there are significant changes in any of the factors.
The Company’s charge-off policy is based on a review of delinquent finance receivables on a loan by loan basis. Finance receivables are charged off at the earlier of the time when accounts reach 90 days past due on a recency basis, when the Company receives notification of a customer bankruptcy, or is otherwise deemed uncollectible.
The allowance consists of quantitative and qualitative factors. The quantitative factors are based on historical charge-off experience. The qualitative factors are determined based on management’s assessment of internal and/or external influences on credit quality that are not fully reflected in the historical losses.
Finance receivables are considered small balance homogeneous receivables and are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual small balance homogeneous receivables for impairment disclosures, unless such receivables are the subject of a restructuring agreement.
14
Tax receivable agreement liability: In connection with the Business Combination, OppFi entered into the Tax Receivable Agreement ("TRA") with the Members and the Members’ Representative. The TRA provides for payment to the Members of 90 % of the U.S. federal, state and local income tax savings realized by the Company as a result of the increases in tax basis and certain other tax benefits related to the transactions contemplated under the Business Combination Agreement and the exchange of Retained OppFi Units for Class A Common Stock or cash. OppFi-LLC will have in effect an election under Section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code effective for each taxable year in which an exchange of Retained OppFi Units occurs. The remaining 10 % cash tax savings resulting from the basis adjustments will be retained by the Company.
In general, cash tax savings result in a year when the tax liability of the Company for the year, computed without regard to the deductions attributable to the amortization or depreciation of the basis increase and other deductions that arise in connection with the payment of the cash consideration under the TRA or the exchange of Retained OppFi Units for Class A Common Stock, would be more than the tax liability for the year taking into account such deductions. Payments under the TRA will not be due until the Company is able to reduce an actual cash tax liability by the amortization of the basis increase on a filed tax return. The payments under the TRA are expected to be substantial.
The Company accounts for the effects of the basis increases as follows:
•records an increase in deferred tax assets for the income tax effects of the increases in tax basis based on enacted federal and state income tax rates at the date of the exchange;
•the Company evaluates the ability to realize the full benefit represented by the deferred tax asset based on an analysis that will consider expectations of future earnings among other things. If the Company determines that the full benefit is not likely to be realized, a valuation allowance is established to reduce the amount of the deferred tax assets to an amount that is likely to be realized.
The Company records obligations under the TRA at the gross undiscounted amount of the expected future payments as an increase to liabilities, and the realizable deferred tax asset with an offset to additional paid-in capital.
15
Income taxes: OppFi-LLC is organized as a partnership for U.S. income tax purposes, and therefore is not subject to tax on its earnings, as the taxable income and deductions are passed to the Members who are responsible for income tax based upon their allocable share of OppFi-LLC's income. Following the Closing, the Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of OppFi and OppFi-LLC. OppFi is subject to corporate income taxes in the United States based upon its activities and its allocable share of taxable income from OppFi-LLC at the federal and state level, therefore the amount of income taxes recorded prior to the Closing are not representative of the expenses expected in the future.
The computation of the effective tax rate and provision at each period requires the use of certain estimates and significant judgment including, but not limited to, the expected operating income for the year, projections of the proportion of income that is subject to tax, and permanent differences between the Company’s GAAP earnings and taxable income. The estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change throughout the year as new events occur, additional information is obtained or as tax laws and regulations change. Accordingly, the effective tax rate for future periods may vary.
The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the asset and liability method which requires the recognition of current tax liabilities or receivables for the amount of taxes it estimates are payable or refundable for the current year, deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and their respective tax bases of assets and liabilities and the expected benefits of net operating loss and credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period enacted. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that a portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income and the reversal of deferred tax liabilities during the period in which related temporary differences become deductible.
The benefit of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the Company’s income tax returns is recognized in the financial statements if such positions are more likely than not of being sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Differences between tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and the benefit recognized and measured pursuant to the interpretation are referred to as “unrecognized benefits.” A liability is recognized (or amount of net operating loss carryover or amount of tax refundable is reduced) for an unrecognized tax benefit because it represents a potential future obligation to the taxing authority for a tax position that was not recognized. Interest costs and related penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are required to be calculated, if applicable and are recognized as general and administrative expenses.
Fair value disclosure: ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, established a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. Fair value measurements are determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
ASC 820 provides a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company uses various methods including market, income and cost approaches. Based on these approaches, the Company often utilizes certain assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and or the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable inputs. The Company utilizes valuation
16
techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Based on the nature of the inputs used in the valuation techniques, the Company is required to provide the following information according to the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
Level 1 - Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active exchange markets, such as the NYSE. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in less-active dealer or broker markets. Valuations are obtained from third-party pricing services for identical or similar assets or liabilities.
Level 3 - Valuations for assets and liabilities that are derived from other valuation methodologies, including option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques, and not based on market exchange, dealer, or broker traded transactions. Level 3 valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets or liabilities.
Accounting pronouncements issued and adopted: In September 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13. The amendments in ASU 2016‑13 replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects lifetime expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. In April 2019 and November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments, and ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, respectively, which provide subsequent amendments to the initial guidance in ASU 2016‑13. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief, which provides entities that have certain instruments within the scope of ASC 326-20, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses—Measured at Amortized Cost, with an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option in ASC 825-10, Financial Instruments—Overall, applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis for eligible instruments, upon adoption of ASU 2016-13.
The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 under the modified-retrospective method effective January 1, 2021 and elected the fair value option to account for installment finance receivables. The Company believes that the fair value option better reflects the value of its portfolio and its future economic performance as well as more closely aligns with the Company’s marginal decision-making processes that rely on risk based pricing and discounted cash flow methodologies. In accordance with the transition guidance, the Company (i) released the allowance for estimated losses on finance receivables at that date; (ii) released the unamortized net deferred origination costs at that date; (iii) released the reserve for repurchase liability on third-party lender losses; and (iv) measured the finance receivables at fair value. As a result of the adoption of this ASU, the Company’s finance receivables are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized directly in earnings and origination fees and costs are no longer eligible for deferral.
The following table summarizes the impact of adoption on the consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2021, as adjusted (in thousands):

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customers Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract, which broadens the scope of existing guidance applicable to internal-use software development costs. The update requires costs to be capitalized or expensed based on the nature of the costs and the project stage in which they are incurred subject to amortization and impairment guidance consistent with existing internal-use software development cost guidance. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2018-15 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Accounting pronouncements issued and not yet adopted: In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e., lessees and lessors). The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, respectively. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases today. The new standard requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, which defers the effective date of ASU 2016-02 one year, making it effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. In September 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-05, which defers the effective date of ASU 2019-10 one year, making it effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The purpose of ASU 2020-04 is to provide optional guidance for a period of time related to accounting for reference rate reform on financial reporting. It is intended to reduce the potential burden of reviewing contract modifications related to discontinued rates. The amendments and expedients in this update are effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022 and may be elected by topic. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Note 3. Business Combination
On the Closing Date, OppFi completed the Business Combination with OppFi-LLC pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement. Pursuant to ASC 805, the Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, where FGNA was treated as the “acquired” company and OppFi-LLC, as the accounting acquirer. OppFi-LLC was assumed to have issued equity for the net assets of FGNA, accompanied by a recapitalization. Under this method of accounting, the pre-Business Combination consolidated financial statements of the Company are the historical financial statements of OppFi-LLC. The net assets, consisting of cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, and warrant liability, of FGNA were stated at fair value, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded in accordance with GAAP and are consolidated with OppFi-LLC’s financial statements on the Closing Date.
At the Closing, (i) OppFi-LLC transferred to the Company 12,977,690 OppFi Units, which was equal to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Closing (after giving effect to redemptions by FGNA’s public stockholders prior to the Closing and the conversion of FGNA’s Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class B Common Stock”)), (ii) FGNA contributed the Cash Consideration (as defined below) to OppFi-LLC in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement, which was distributed to the Members, and (iii) FGNA issued 96,987,093 shares of newly authorized Class V Voting Stock, which number of shares of Class V Voting Stock was equal to the number of Retained OppFi Units.
The aggregate value of the consideration paid to the Members in the Business Combination was approximately $806,517 thousand, after giving effect to the estimated purchase price adjustments as set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, consisting of: (i) cash consideration in the amount of $91,646 thousand (the “Cash Consideration”), equal to the cash remaining in FGNA’s trust account as of immediately prior to the Closing and (ii) 96,987,093 shares of Class V Voting Stock.
Immediately after giving effect to the Business Combination, there were 12,977,690 3,443,750 shares of Class A Common Stock issued upon the conversion of the Class B Common Stock). Shortly after, and as a result of the Business Combination, a lender converted its OppFi Units, resulting in an additional 486,852 shares of Class A Common Stock issued
18
and outstanding for a total of 13,464,542
In connection with the Closing, on the Closing Date, 25,500,000
In connection with the Business Combination, the Company incurred direct and incremental costs of approximately $30,551 thousand, consisting primarily of investment banking, legal, accounting and other professional fees, of which $21,591 thousand were recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
As a result of the Business Combination, OppFi organized as a C corporation, owns an equity interest in OppFi-LLC in what is commonly referred to as an “Up-C” structure. OppFi-LLC is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes. Accordingly, for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes, all income, losses, and other tax attributes pass through to the members’ income tax returns, and no U.S. federal and state and local provision for income taxes has been recorded for these entities in the consolidated financial statements.
As a result of the Up-C structure, noncontrolling interests are held by the Members who retained 87.8 % of the economic ownership percentage of OppFi-LLC as of September 30, 2021. The Company classifies the noncontrolling interests as a component of stockholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheets.
In connection with the Business Combination, OppFi entered into the TRA with the Members and the Members’ Representative. The TRA provides for payment to the Members of 90 % of the U.S. federal, state and local income tax savings realized by the Company as a result of the increases in tax basis and certain other tax benefits related to the transactions contemplated under the Business Combination Agreement and the exchange of Retained OppFi Units for Class A Common Stock or cash.

Secured borrowing payable: During 2017, Opportunity Funding SPE II, LLC entered into a preferred return agreement with Midtown Madison Management LLC. Per the terms of the agreement, the finance receivables are grouped into quarterly pools. Collections are distributed on a pro rata basis after the payout of expenses to back-up servicer, servicer and other relevant parties. This agreement is secured by the assets of Opportunity Funding SPE II, LLC. The receivables are transferred to Opportunity Funding SPE II, LLC and OppWin LLC by OppFi-LLC, which has provided representations and warranties in connection with such sale. The agreement is subject to various financial covenants.
During 2018, the SPE II, LLC preferred return agreement was amended. Opportunity Funding SPE II, LLC sells a 97.5 percent interest of certain unsecured finance receivables to the unrelated third party. Per the revised agreement, the unrelated third party earns a preferred return of 15.0 percent and a performance fee after the preferred return has been satisfied.

Note 7. Warrants
Warrant units: In November 2018, in conjunction with OppFi-LLC entering into a senior secured multi-draw term loan, OppFi-LLC issued warrant units to the lender. The fair value of the warrant units was estimated using an option pricing model that used the following assumptions:
| December 31, 2020 | ||||||||||||||
| Expected term | ||||||||||||||
| Volatility | % | |||||||||||||
| Discount for lack of marketability | % | |||||||||||||
| Risk free rate | % | |||||||||||||
The total proceeds were allocated on a relative fair value basis to the two instruments issued in conjunction and the amount allocated to the warrant units also represented a discount to the debt which is being amortized into interest expense over the term of the agreement.
As of December 31, 2020, the fair value of the warrant unit liability was $1,309 thousand and is included in accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheets.
27
Prior to the Closing, the lender exercised the warrant units; accordingly, the warrant unit liability was remeasured to fair value. The fair value of the warrant unit liability was $5,517 thousand and was reclassified to additional paid-in capital. After the lender exercised the warrant units, there were no warrant units outstanding thereafter.
Public Warrants: As of September 30, 2021, there were 11,887,500 Public Warrants outstanding. Each whole Public Warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one whole share of Class A Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share. Pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, a holder of Public Warrants may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of shares of Class A Common Stock. This means that only a whole warrant may be exercised at any given time by a warrant holder. The Public Warrants will expire on July 20, 2026, five years after the Closing Date, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
The Company may redeem the Public Warrants under the following conditions:
•In whole and not in part;
•At a price of $0.01 per warrant;
•Upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption (the “30-day redemption period”) to each warrant holder; and
•If, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 -trading day period ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.
The last of the redemption criterion discussed above prevent a redemption call unless there is at the time of the call a significant premium to the exercise price of the Public Warrants. If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and the Company issues a notice of redemption of the Public Warrants, each warrant holder will be entitled to exercise its warrant prior to the scheduled redemption date. However, the price of the Class A Common Stock may fall below the $18.00 redemption trigger price (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) as well as the $11.50 warrant exercise price after the redemption notice is issued.
Private Placement Warrants: As of September 30, 2021, there were 3,451,964 Private Placement Warrants outstanding, all of which are non-redeemable and may be exercised on a cashless basis so long as they continue to be held by their initial holders or their permitted transferees. The Private Placement Warrants are comprised of 2,539,464 warrants to purchase Class A Common Stock at $11.50 per share (the “$11.50 Exercise Price Warrants”) and 912,500 warrants to purchase Class A Common Stock at $15.00 per share (the “$15 Exercise Price Warrants”). The $11.50 Exercise Price Warrants expire simultaneously with the Public Warrants, except for certain of the $11.50 Exercise Price Warrants held by underwriters in the IPO (the “Underwriter Warrants”) that expire on September 29, 2025 so long as they continue to be held by their initial holders or their permitted transferees. The $15 Exercise Price Warrants expire on July 20, 2031, ten years after the Closing Date, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, so long as they continue to be held by their initial holders or their permitted transferees, and otherwise expire simultaneously with the Public Warrants.
Warrant liabilities: As of September 30, 2021, the Company recorded warrant liabilities of $24,506 thousand in the consolidated balance sheets. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the fair value of the Public Warrants decreased by $9,034 4,105

Years to expiration represents the weighted-average period over which the granted stock options are expected to remain outstanding.
Dividend yield is based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payments.

Note 10. Income Taxes
OppFi-LLC is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and most applicable state and local income tax purposes. As a partnership, OppFi-LLC is not subject to U.S. federal and certain state and local income taxes. Any taxable income or loss generated by OppFi-LLC is passed through to and included in the taxable income or loss of its members, including OppFi, on a pro rata basis. OppFi is subject to U.S. federal income taxes, in addition to state and local income taxes with respect to our allocable share of any taxable income or loss of OppFi-LLC, as well as any stand-alone income or loss generated by OppFi.
For the three months ended September 30, 2021, OppFi recorded an income tax expense of $703 thousand and reported consolidated income before taxes of $31,095 thousand, resulting in a 2.3 % effective income tax rate. Prior to the Closing Date, OppFi-LLC was classified as a partnership for income tax purposes and was therefore not subject to federal income tax and did not record an expense for income taxes.
Because no income tax was recorded prior to the Closing Date, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, OppFi recorded an income tax expense of $703 thousand and reported consolidated income before taxes of $73,466 thousand, resulting in an effective income tax rate of 1.0 %.
As OppFi-LLC was classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, OppFi-LLC did no 561 thousand and $1,779 thousand, respectively, resulting in an effective tax rate of 2.9
The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and for the pro forma 2020 differ from the statutory income tax rate of 21% primarily due to the noncontrolling interest in the Up-C partnership structure, nondeductible expenses, and state income taxes. OppFi is subject to a 21% federal income tax rate on its activities and its distributive share of income from OppFi-LLC, as well as various state and local income taxes. As of September 30, 2021, OppFi owns 12.2 % of the outstanding units of OppFi-LLC and considers appropriate tax accounting only on this portion of OppFi-LLC’s activity. Additionally, OppFi’s income tax rate varies from the 21% statutory federal income tax rate primarily due to a permanent difference related to the adjustment of the warrant liability recorded by OppFi. This fair market value adjustment of the warrant liability represents a large portion of OppFi’s pre-tax book income or loss and is a permanent difference between GAAP and taxable income, which impacts OppFi’s effective income tax rate.
OppFi recorded a deferred tax asset and additional paid-in capital for the difference between the book value and the tax basis of OppFi’s investment in OppFi-LLC. Based on the Company’s cumulative earnings history and forecasted future sources of taxable income, the Company believes that it will be able to realize the deferred tax assets in the future. As the Company reassesses this position in the future, changes in cumulative earnings history, excluding non-recurring charges, or changes to forecasted taxable income may alter this expectation and may result in an increase in the valuation allowance and an increase in the effective tax rate.
The CARES Act was enacted on March 27, 2020 in the United States to provide emergency assistance to individuals and businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act includes temporary changes to both income and non-income based tax laws. For the three months ended September 30, 2021 the impact of the CARES Act was immaterial to the Company’s tax provision. However, under the CARES Act, the Company is deferring the employer portion of payroll tax payments through December 31, 2021. Future regulatory guidance under the CARES Act or additional legislation enacted by Congress in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic could impact the Company’s tax provision in future periods.
In connection with the Business Combination, the Company entered into the TRA, which provides for payment to the Members of 90 % of the U.S. federal, state and local income tax savings realized by the Company as a result of the increases in tax basis and certain other tax benefits related to the transactions contemplated under the Business Combination Agreement and the exchange of Retained OppFi Units for Class A Common Stock or cash. The Company has in effect an election under Section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code and will have such an election effective for each taxable year in which a redemption or exchange (including deemed exchange) of OppFi-LLC interests for shares of Class A Common Stock or cash occurs. The Company will retain the benefit of the remaining 10 %. As of September 30, 2021, the Company recorded a TRA liability of $22,866 thousand related to exchanges that occurred during the period.

Note 13. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value on a nonrecurring basis: The Company has no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances.
Fair value measurement on a recurring basis: Effective January 1, 2021, the Company elected the fair value option to account for its installment finance receivables. Prior to that, OppFi-LLC only had warrant units that were measured at fair market value on a recurring basis. Subsequent to the Business Combination, the Company measures the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants at fair value on a recurring basis.
The Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 are as follows (in thousands):
| Carrying Value | Fair Value Measurements | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, there were no transfers of assets or liabilities in or out of Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 fair value measurements. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| (1) The Company primarily estimates the fair value of its installment finance receivables portfolio using discounted cash flow models that have been internally developed. The models use inputs that are unobservable but reflect the Company’s best estimates of the assumptions a market participant would use to calculate fair value. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

(2) The estimated fair value of the warrant units is calculated using an option pricing model. The resulting fair value measurement is categorized as a Level 3 measurement. Upon closing of the Business Combination, the lender exercised the warrant units and the liability was reclassified to additional paid in capital. As such, there is no warrant unit liability at September 30, 2021. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, warrant expense was $888 thousand and $4,208 thousand, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, there was no

Note 14. Commitments, Contingencies and Related Party Transactions
Commitment: The Company leases its office facilities under a non-cancelable operating lease agreement with an unrelated party. On November 26, 2019, the Company amended the lease agreement to rent additional office space. The amendment reduced the required deposit of a letter of credit from $1,500 thousand to $1,000 thousand, which would be paid to the lessor in the event of default. On June 29, 2021, the required deposit of a letter of credit associated with the agreement was increased to $1,750 thousand. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were no

Legal contingencies: Due to the nature of its business activities, the Company is subject to extensive regulations and threatened legal action which arises in the normal course of business.
The Company has received inquiries from certain agencies and states on its lending compliance, the validity of the bank partnership model, and its ability to facilitate the servicing of bank originated loans. Management is confident that its lending practices and the bank partnership structure, in addition to the Company’s technologies, services, and overall relationship with its bank partners, complies with state and federal laws. However, the inquiries are still in process and the outcome is unknown at this time.
In the opinion of management, there is no pending or threatened legal action of any material consequence as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and any reasonably possible losses in addition to amounts accrued are not material to the financial statements.
Related party transactions: OppFi-LLC previously had an unsecured line of credit agreement with SCG with a maximum available amount of $4,000 thousand, which was paid in full on March 30, 2021. Interest expense related to this related party transaction was $141 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2020. Interest expense was $137 thousand and $420 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
In August 2020, OppFi-LLC entered into a Management Fee Agreement (the “Management Fee Agreement”) with SCG. Pursuant to the terms of the Management Fee Agreement, SCG provided board and advisory services.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
Key recent events impacting our business are as follows:
•Business Combination — On July 20, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), we completed the transactions contemplated by that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated as of February 9, 2021 (the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among FGNA, OppFi-LLC, OppFi Shares, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“OFS”), and the member’s representative of the members of OppFi (the “Members”) immediately prior to the closing (the “Closing”) of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (“Business Combination”). Upon the Closing, FGNA as the registrant changed its name to “OppFi Inc.” OppFi’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (Class A Common Stock”), and warrants are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the symbols “OPFI” and “OPFI WS,” respectively. Following the Closing, the combined Company is organized in an “Up-C” structure in which substantially all of the assets and the business of the combined Company are held by OppFi-LLC and its subsidiaries, and the Company’s only direct assets consist of units in OppFi-LLC. OppFi controls OppFi-LLC as the sole manager of OppFi-LLC.
•COVID-19 — In March 2020, the World Health Organization recognized a global pandemic known as the coronavirus or COVID-19. Due to the economic uncertainty that this has caused, and can continue to cause, there is added risk to our overall future outlook. We have implemented cost containment and cash management initiatives to mitigate the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and liquidity. The full extent of any impact cannot be determined at this time. We did see a slowdown in growth during the year ended December 31, 2020 and the nine months ended September 30, 2021 due to government stimulus programs, which also had a positive impact on our credit performance, even while the credit risk of our loan applicants remained flat during this period. We will continue to monitor any changes to the business as the pandemic continues throughout 2021.
•On September 30, 2021, OppFi-LLC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Opportunity Funding SPE IV, LLC (“SPE IV”) and SalaryTap Funding SPE, LLC (“STF Borrower”), and the other credit parties and guarantors thereto, entered into Amendment No.6 (the “BMO Amendment”) to the Revolving Credit Agreement (the “BMO Credit Agreement”), dated as of August 19, 2019, by and among OppFi-LLC, SPE IV, the other credit parties and guarantors thereto, BMO Harris Bank N.A. as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the lenders party thereto. The BMO Amendment amends the BMO Credit Agreement to, among other things, add STF Borrower as an additional borrower, permit the pledge of SalaryTap receivables, increase the facility size to $45.0 million, increase the accordion feature from $20 million to $30 million and extend the revolving period to August 2023. We plan to use the expanded facility in part to support the growth and expansion of its SalaryTap product, an employer payroll-linked loan product, that is currently available in 33 states.
•On October 13, 2021, OppFi-LLC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Opportunity Financial SPE V, LLC (“SPE V”) and Opportunity Funding SPE VII, LLC (“SPE VII”), and the other credit parties and guarantors thereto, entered into Amendment No. 6 to Revolving Credit Agreement and Other Credit Documents (the “Atalaya Amendment”), which amends the OppFi-LLC Midtown Credit Agreement. The Atalaya Amendment amends the OppFi-LLC Midtown Credit Agreement to, among other things, add SPE VII as an additional borrower under the OppFi-LLC Midtown Credit Agreement, permit the pledge of OppFi Card receivables under the OppFi-LLC Midtown Credit Agreement and extend the final maturity of the OppFi-LLC Midtown Credit Agreement to April 2024. OppFi plans to use the amended OppFi-LLC Midtown Credit Agreement to support the growth of the newly launched OppFi Card, issued by First Electronic Bank, Member FDIC. We recently launched OppFi Card, our first-ever credit card designed to enable the company to serve a segment of the $21 billion non-prime credit card market.

Key Performance Metrics
We regularly review the following key metrics, to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate financial projections and make strategic decisions, which may also be useful to an investor.
Note: All key performance metrics includes the three products on the OppFi platform and are not shown separately as contributions from SalaryTap and OppFi Card were de minimis.
Total Net Originations
We measure originations to assess the growth trajectory and overall size of our loan portfolio. There is a direct correlation between origination growth and revenue growth. We include both bank partner originations as well as those originated by us directly. Originations may be useful to an investor because they help understand the growth trajectory of our revenues.
The following tables present total net originations (defined as gross originations net of transferred balance on refinanced loans), percentage of net originations by bank partners, and percentage of net originations by new loans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands):

| Percentage of net originations by new loans | 43.6 | % | 42.9 | % | N/A | 1.7 | % | |||||||||||||||||||
Net originations increased to $164.5 million and $408.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, from $131.2 million and $333.5 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. The 25.4% and 22.5% increases, respectively, were primarily due to a partial recovery from the short-term reduction in customer demand attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic and related governmental stimulus measures that we experienced 2020, but which continued to impact our growth in the 2021 period.
42
Our originations model continues to shift towards a facilitation model for bank partners from a direct origination model. Total net originations by our bank partners increased to 93.4% and 89.0% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, from 65.2% and 64.4% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively.
In addition, our net originations saw an increase in the percentage of originations of new loans compared to refinanced loans as customer demand continued to return to pre-pandemic levels coupled with increased automation, which drove a higher conversion of applications to funded loans. Total net originations of new loans as percentage of total loans increased to 51.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 from 41.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2020. Total net originations of new loans as a percentage of total loans increased to 43.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from 42.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Ending receivables increased to $293.3 million as of September 30, 2021 from $240.3 million as of September 30, 2020. The 22.1% increase was primarily driven by a return to growth in originations in the second and third quarter of 2021 after the short-term reduction in customer demand attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic and related governmental stimulus measures that we experienced 2020, but which continued to impact our growth in the 2021 period.
Average Yield
Average yield represents annualized interest income from the period as a percent of average receivables. Receivables are defined as unpaid principal balances of both on- and off-balance sheet loans. The following tables present average yield for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020:

| Average yield | 129.0 | % | 126.1 | % | 2.3 | % | ||||||||||||||
Average yield increased to 131.3% and 129.0% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, from 128.3% and 126.1% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. The 2.3% increases were driven by a higher weighted average coupon due to state mix from a shift to bank partner originations and a lower volume of customers on assistance programs.
Net Charge-Offs as a Percentage of Average Receivables
Net charge-offs as a percentage of average receivables represents annualized total charge offs from the period less recoveries as a percent of average receivables. Receivables are defined as unpaid principal of both on- and off-balance sheet loans. Our charge-off policy is based on a review of delinquent finance receivables on a loan by loan basis. Finance receivables are charged off at the earlier of the time when accounts reach 90 days past due on a recency basis, when we receive notification of a customer bankruptcy, or when finance receivables are otherwise deemed uncollectible.

The increase for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was due to a normalization of credit to pre-pandemic levels. Net charge-offs as a percentage of average receivables decreased by 15.9% to 31.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, from 37.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 reflects the positive impact on customers’ bank balances from government stimulus programs in the first half of 2021.
Marketing Cost per Funded Loan
Marketing cost per funded loan represents marketing cost per funded loan for new and refinance loans. This metric is the amount of direct marketing costs incurred during a period divided by the number of loans originated during that same period.

The 43.5% increase for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was driven primarily by the higher mix of new versus refinanced loans year over year as well as a higher marketing cost per new funded loan. Our marketing cost per funded loan decreased to $74 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, from $76 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The 2.6% decrease for the nine months ending September 30, 2021 was driven by an elevated cost per funded loan for direct mail channel in 2020 due to the impact of COVID-19 on customer demand.

Marketing Cost per New Funded Loan
Marketing cost per new funded loan represents the amount of direct marketing costs incurred during a period divided by the number of new loans originated during that same period. The following tables present marketing cost per funded loan (new) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020:

Our marketing cost per new funded loan increased to $255 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, from $212 for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The 20.3% increase for the three months ending September 30, 2021 was related to a higher mix towards the strategic partner marketing channel, as well as increased investment in direct mail. Our marketing cost per new funded loan decreased to $254 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from $265 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The 4.2% decrease for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was driven by an elevated cost per funded loan for direct mail channel in 2020 due to the impact of COVID-19 on customer demand.
Auto-Approval Rate
Auto-approval rate is calculated by taking the number of approved loans that are not decisioned by a loan advocate or underwriter (auto-approval) divided by the total number of loans approved. The following table presents auto approval rate as of September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020:
| September 30, | Change | |||||||||||||||||||
| 2021 | 2020 | % | ||||||||||||||||||
| Auto-approval rate | 58.1 | % | 20.9 | % | 178.6 | % | ||||||||||||||
Auto-approval rate increased by 178.6% as of September 30, 2021 to 58.1%, from 20.9% as of September 30, 2020, driven by the continued application of algorithmic automation projects that streamline frictional steps of the origination process.
Overall auto decisioning, which also takes into account those applications that were denied which are not decisioned by a loan advocate or underwriter (auto-denial) plus auto-approval divided by the total number of applications, was 80% for the three months ended September 30, 2021.
Sales and Servicing Cost per Loan Sales and Servicing cost per loan is calculated by taking the total servicing costs, which include customer center salaries, underwriting and reporting costs, and payment processing fees, divided by the average amount of outstanding loans during that period. The following tables present servicing cost per loan for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020:

Our servicing cost per loan increased by $8 and $19 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, due to the increase in underwriting costs and payment processing fees tied to the increase in originations. Due to improvements in auto-approval rates which drove scale to the business, the percentage growth of 5.3 % and 12.9 % for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 were significantly lower than origination growth of 25.4 % and 22.5 % for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

| (b) Prior to the reverse recapitalization, all net income was attributable to the noncontrolling interest.

Total Revenue
Total revenue consists mainly of revenue earned from interest on receivables from outstanding loans based only on the interest method, as well as amortization of loan origination costs in previous periods. We also earn revenue from referral fees related primarily to our turn-up program, which represented less than 0.6 % of total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2021.
Total revenue increased by $29.2 million, or 46.6 %, to $92.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 from $62.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. This increase was partially due to the removal of the amortization of loan origination costs as a result of the election of the fair value option in 2021. Under the fair value option, loan origination costs related to the origination of installment loans are expensed when incurred and are no longer recognized as
46
a part of total revenue. Total revenue also improved year over year due to the increase in interest income from higher receivables and yield compared to the previous period.
Total Provision and Change in Fair Value
Commencing on January 1, 2021, we elected the fair value option on the OppLoan product. To derive the fair value, we generally utilize discounted cash flow analyses that factor in estimated losses and prepayments over the estimated duration of the underlying assets. Loss and prepayment assumptions are determined using historical loss data and include appropriate consideration of recent trends and anticipated future performance. Future cash flows are discounted using a rate of return that we believe a market participant would require based on the risk characteristics of the loans. We did not elect the fair value option on our SalaryTap and OppFi Card finance receivables as these products launched in November 2020 and August 2021, respectively, and inputs for fair value are not yet determined. Accordingly, the related finance receivables are carried at amortized cost, net of allowance for credit losses.
For the three months ended September 30, 2021, change in fair value consisted of gross charge-offs incurred in the period, net of recoveries, plus the change in the fair value of the installment loans. Change in fair value decreased by $18.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The $18.9 million comprised $24.9 million of net charge-offs, partially offset by $6.0 million change in the fair value premium of receivables. Net charge-offs as a percentage of receivables increased due to normalization of credit to pre-pandemic levels. Change in fair value premium had a positive impact due to the increase in receivables in the period and an increase in the fair value mark. The fair value mark improved due to an increase in the remaining life of the portfolio driven by a younger portfolio from origination growth in the period, as well as an increase in the weighted average interest rate of the portfolio driven by state mix from a higher mix of bank partner originated loans and a lower volume of customers on assistance programs.
For the three months ended September 30, 2021, total provision consisted of gross charge-offs incurred in the period, net of recoveries, plus the change in the allowance for credit losses for our SalaryTap and OppFi Card products. In the three months ended September 30, 2020, total provision consisted of gross charge-offs incurred in the period, net of recoveries, plus the change in the allowance for credit losses for our OppLoan product. Our provision for future losses is based on incurred credit loss application whereby we reserve for life of loan losses.
Net Revenue
Net revenue is equal to total revenue less the change in fair value and less total provision costs. Total net revenue increased by $28.0 million, or 62.4%, to $72.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, from $44.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in gross interest and loan related income, as well as the removal of the amortization of loan origination costs from total revenue as a result of the election of the fair value option in 2021, despite higher gross charge-offs, net of recoveries.
Expenses
Total expenses consist of salaries and employee benefits, interest expense and amortized debt issuance costs, servicing costs, direct marketing costs, technology costs, depreciation and amortization, professional fees and other expenses.
Total expenses increased by $35.8 million, or 140.4 %, to $61.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 from $25.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. This was primarily due to higher marketing costs due to higher originations, an increase in bank partner and payment processing fees, an increase in salaries, employee benefits and technology infrastructure costs, and the impact of the 2021 election of fair value option. As a result of the election of the fair value option, loan origination costs, including direct marketing costs and payment processing fees related to the origination of the OppLoan product, are recognized as expenses when incurred and are no longer recognized as an offset to total revenue.
Income from Operations
Income from operations is the difference between net revenue and expenses. Income from operations decreased by $7.8 million, or 40.5%, to $11.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, from $19.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020.
Other Income (Expenses)
47
Other income for the three months ended September 30, 2021 included the gain from forgiveness of an unsecured loan of $6.4 million in connection with the U.S. Small Business Administration's (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP Loan”). Additionally, other income included the change in fair value of the warrant liability of $13.1 million. This warrant liability arose with respect to warrants issued in connection with the initial public offering of FGNA and is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date.
Income before income tax
Income before income tax is the sum of income from operations and other income (expenses). Income before income tax increased by $11.8 million, or 60.8%, to $31.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, from $19.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020.
Income tax
The Company is the sole managing member of OppFi-LLC and, as a result, consolidates the financial results of OppFi-LLC. OppFi-LLC is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and most applicable state and local income tax purposes. As a partnership, OppFi-LLC is not subject to U.S. federal and certain state and local income taxes. Any taxable income or loss generated by OppFi-LLC is passed through to and included in the taxable income or loss of its members, including OppFi, on a pro rata basis. OppFi is subject to U.S. federal income taxes, in addition to state and local income taxes with respect to its allocable share of any taxable income or loss of OppFi-LLC, as well as any stand-alone income or loss generated by OppFi.
OppFi Inc. recorded tax expense of $703 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and no expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020. As noted above, OppFi-LLC is treated as a partnership and is not subject to income taxes; prior to the consummation of the Business Combination on July 20, 2021, there were no taxes attributable to OppFi Inc. as OppFi-LLC was the only reportable entity.
Net Income
In accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation, OppFi has presented the net income attributable to the Company and the noncontrolling ownership interests separately in the consolidated statements of operations.
Net income increased by $11.1 million, or 57.1%, to $30.4 million for the three months ending September 30, 2021, from $19.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020.
Net Income Attributable to OppFi Inc.
Net income attributable to OppFi Inc. was $14.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Net income attributable to OppFi Inc. represents the income solely attributable to stockholders of OppFi for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Prior to the completion of the Business Combination on July 20, 2021, there was no income attributable to OppFi Inc. as OppFi-LLC was the only reportable entity.

Total Revenue
Total revenue consists mainly of revenue earned from interest on receivables from outstanding loans based only on the interest method, as well as amortization of loan origination costs in previous periods. We also earn revenue from referral fees related primarily to our turn-up program, which represented less than 0.5 % of total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Total revenue increased by $55.9 million, or 28.1 %, to $254.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from $198.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This increase was primarily due to the removal of the amortization of loan origination costs as a result of the election of the fair value option in 2021. Under the fair value option, loan origination costs related to the origination of installment loans are expensed when incurred and are no longer recognized as a part of total revenue.

49
respectively, and inputs for fair value are not yet determined. Accordingly, the related finance receivables are carried at amortized cost, net of allowance for credit losses.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, change in fair value consists of gross charge-offs incurred in the period, net of recoveries, plus the change in the fair value of the installment loans. Change in fair value decreased by $52.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as we adopted the fair value option for our installment product on January 1, 2021. The $52.6 million comprised $62.1 million of net charge-offs, partially offset by a $9.4 million change in the fair value premium of receivables. Net charge-offs as a percentage of receivables improved due to the impact from government stimulus programs. Change in fair value premium had a positive impact due to the increase in receivables in the period and an increase in the fair value mark. The fair value mark improved due to an increase in the remaining life of the portfolio driven by a younger portfolio from origination growth in the period, as well as an increase in the weighted average interest rate of the portfolio driven by the higher mix of bank partner originated loans and a lower volume of customers on assistance programs.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2021, total provision consists of gross charge-offs incurred in the period, net of recoveries, plus the change in the allowance for credit losses for our SalaryTap and OppFi Card products. In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, total provision consists of gross charge-offs incurred in the period, net of recoveries, plus the change in the allowance for credit losses for the OppLoan product. Our provision for future losses is based on incurred credit loss application whereby it reserves for life of loan losses.
Net Revenue
Net revenue is equal to total revenue less the change in fair value and less total provision costs. Total net revenue increased by $65.9 million, or 48.4%, to $201.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from $135.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This increase was primarily attributable to lower gross charge-offs, net of recoveries, as well as the removal of the amortization of loan origination costs from total revenue as a result of the election of the fair value option in 2021.
Expenses
Total expenses consist of salaries and employee benefits, interest expense and amortized debt issuance costs, servicing costs, direct marketing costs, technology costs, depreciation and amortization, professional fees and other expenses.
Total expenses increased by $73.3 million, or 98.3%, to $147.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, from $74.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This was primarily due to higher marketing costs due to higher originations, an increase in salaries and employee benefits, technology infrastructure costs and professional fees, and the impact of the 2021 election of fair value option. As a result of the election of the fair value option, loan origination costs, including direct marketing costs and payment processing fees related to the origination of the OppLoan product, are recognized as expenses when incurred and are no longer recognized as an offset to total revenue.
Income from Operations
Income from operations is the difference between net revenue and expenses. Total income from operations decreased by $7.5 million, or 12.2%, to $53.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, from $61.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 included the gain from forgiveness of an unsecured loan of $6.4 million in connection with the PPP Loan. Additionally, other income included the change in fair value of the warrant liability in the amount of $13.1 million. This warrant liability arose with respect to warrants issued in connection with the initial public offering of FGNA and is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
We believe that the provision of non-GAAP financial measures in this report, including Fair Value Pro Forma information, Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted Basic and Diluted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Net Income can provide useful measures for period-to-period comparisons of our business and useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results. However, non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), should not be considered an alternative to any measure of financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to the non-GAAP financial measures of other companies.
Fair Value Pro Forma
On January 1, 2021, we elected the fair value option for our OppLoan product. Accordingly, the related finance receivables are carried at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets and the changes in fair value are included in the consolidated statements of operations. To derive the fair value, OppFi generally utilizes discounted cash flow analyses that factor in estimated losses and prepayments over the estimated duration of the underlying assets. Loss and prepayment assumptions are determined using historical loss data and include appropriate consideration of recent trends and anticipated future performance. Future cash flows are discounted using a rate of return that OppFi believes a market participant would require. Accrued interest and fees are included in “Finance receivables” in the consolidated balance sheets. Interest income is included in “Interest and loan related income, net” in the consolidated statements of operations. We have adjusted 2020 financials based on applying the fair value option in order to provide comparability to 2021 financials.

Adjusted Revenue
Adjusted revenue is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as our total revenue, as reported, adjusted for the impact of amortization of loan origination costs. Under the fair value option, loan origination costs related to the origination of installment loans are expensed when incurred and are no longer recognized as a part of total revenue. We believe that adjusted revenue is an important measure because it allows management, investors, and our board of directors to evaluate and compare our revenue for period-to-period comparisons of our business, as it removes the effect of differing accounting methodologies.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted Net Income is a non-GAAP measure defined as our GAAP net income, adjusted for the impact of our election of the fair value option, further adjusted to eliminate the effect of certain items as shown below as well as adjusting taxes for comparison purposes. We believe that Adjusted Net Income is an important measure because it allows management, investors, and our board of directors to evaluate and compare our operating results from period-to-period by making the adjustments described below.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure defined as our adjusted net income, and adjusted for the items as shown below including taxes, depreciation and amortization and interest expense. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure because it allows management, investors, and our board of directors to evaluate and compare our operating results from period-to-period by making the adjustments described below. In addition, it provides a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business, as it removes the effect of taxes, certain non-cash items, variable charges, and timing differences.

Total cash increased by $11.1 million as of September 30, 2021 compared to December 31, 2020, driven by free cash flow from operations as well as increased borrowings under the Atalaya Credit Agreement and higher utilization of senior debt to finance receivables growth, transaction expenses, and tax distribution. Finance receivables as of September 31, 2021 increased compared to December 31, 2020 due to higher unpaid on-balance sheet principal balances as well as the election of the fair value option in 2021. Other assets as of September 31, 2021 increased by $30.5 million compared to December 31, 2020, driven by the addition of a deferred tax asset of $23.9 million related to the Business Combination, as well as $4.3 million of prepaid expenses and $3.3 million of property, equipment and capitalized technology costs, partially offset by $0.9 million of debt issuance costs.
Other liabilities increased by $23.6 million driven by the creation of a tax receivable agreement liability of $22.9 million related to the business combination. Total debt increased by $67.7 million driven by an increase in utilization of leverage facilities of $49.2 million and a $24.8 million net impact of the corporate credit facility refinancing, offset by $6.4 million of loan forgiveness of the PPP loan. Total equity increased by $39.1 million driven by net income for the first nine months of $72.8 million and impact of adoption of the fair value method of accounting of $69.4 million, partially offset by distributions of $50.8 million and transaction related adjustments to equity of $52.3 million.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
To date, the funds received from operating income and our ability to obtain lending commitments have provided the liquidity necessary for us to fund our operations.
Maturities of our financing facilities are staggered over three years to help minimize refinance risk.
The following table presents our unrestricted cash and undrawn debt as of September 30, 2021 (in thousands):
56
| September 30, 2021 | December 31, 2020 | |||||||||||||
| Unrestricted cash | $ | 27,627 | $ | 25,601 | ||||||||||
| Undrawn debt | $ | 225,536 | $ | 338,108 | ||||||||||
As of September 30, 2021, we had $27.6 million in unrestricted cash, an increase of $2.0 million from December 31, 2020. As of September 30, 2021, we had an additional $225.5 million of unused debt capacity under our financing facilities for future availability, representing a 52% overall undrawn capacity, a decrease from $338.1 million as of December 31, 2020. The reduction in undrawn debt was due to funding of receivables growth, transaction expenses related to the Business Combination, and tax distributions covering the full year 2020 and 2021 quarterly estimates. Including total financing commitments of $433.0 million, and cash on the balance sheet of $56.8 million, we had approximately $490 million in funding capacity as of September 30, 2021.
We believe that our unrestricted cash, undrawn debt and funds from operating income will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for at least the next 12 months from the date of this Quarterly Report. Our future capital requirements will depend on multiple factors, including our revenue growth, aggregate receivables balance, interest expense, working capital requirements, cash provided by and used in operating, investing and financing activities and capital expenditures.
To the extent our unrestricted cash balances, funds from operating income and funds from undrawn debt are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity needs in the future, we may need to raise additional capital through equity or debt financing and may not be able to do so on terms acceptable to it, if at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital when needed, our results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely impacted.
Cash Flows
The following table presents cash provided by (used in) operating, investing and financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands):

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $120.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This was a decrease of $23.3 million from the $143.4 million of cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Cash provided by operating activities decreased due to higher expenses in 2021, driven by higher marketing costs due to higher originations, as well as an increase in salaries and employee benefits, and increased investment in technology infrastructure.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $110.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This was an increase of $66.3 million from the $43.7 million of cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, due to higher finance receivables originated, partially offset by higher finance receivables repaid.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This was $92.6 million higher than the $91.5 million of cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020,
57
primarily due to an increase in net advances in senior debt lines of credit, partially offset by an increase in member distributions and capitalized transaction costs.
58
Financing Arrangements
Our corporate credit facilities consist of term loans and revolving loan facilities that we have drawn on to finance our operations and for other corporate purposes. These borrowings are generally secured by all the assets of OppFi-LLC that have not otherwise been sold or pledged to secure our structured finance facilities, such as assets belonging to certain of the special purpose entity subsidiaries of OppFi-LLC (“SPEs”). In addition, we, through our SPEs, have entered into warehouse credit facilities to partially finance the origination of loans by us on our platform or the purchase of participation rights in loans originated by our bank partners through our platform, which credit facilities are secured by the loans or participation rights.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
In Texas and Ohio, OppFi-LLC previously arranged for consumers to obtain finance receivable products from independent third-party lenders as part of the CSO Program. For the consumer finance receivable products originated by the third-party lenders under the CSO Program, the lenders were responsible for providing the criteria by which the consumer's application was underwritten and, if approved, determining the amount of the finance receivable. When a consumer executed an agreement with OppFi-LLC under the CSO Program, OppFi-LLC agreed, for a fee payable to OppFi-LLC by the consumer, to provide certain services to the consumer, one of which was to guarantee the consumer's obligation to repay the finance receivable obtained by the consumer from the third-party lender if the consumer failed to do so.
On April 23, 2019, the Company discontinued the CSO Program in Ohio and no new finance receivables were originated through this program after that date. As of September 30, 2021, there were no finance receivables remaining under the CSO Program in Ohio.
On March 19, 2021, the Company discontinued the CSO Program in Texas. As of September 30, 2021, there were no finance receivables remaining under the CSO Program in Texas.
63
The guarantees represented an obligation to purchase specific finance receivables that are delinquent, secured by a collateral account established in favor of the respective lenders.
As of December 31, 2020, the unpaid principal balance of off-balance sheet active finance receivables which were guaranteed by the Company was $19.7 million. Upon the election of the fair value option for installment loan finance receivables on January 1, 2021, the Company released the reserve for repurchase liabilities as the income rights and related losses were included in the valuation of finance receivables at fair value, which was included in the fair value adjustment to retained earnings. As of December 31, 2020, the Company recorded a reserve for repurchase liabilities of $4.2 million, which represents the liability for estimated losses on finance receivables guaranteed. The Company used a similar methodology for determining the reserve for repurchase liabilities as it does for calculating the allowance for credit losses on finance receivables.
Under the terms of the CSO Program, the Company was required to maintain a restricted cash balance equal to the guaranty, which is determined and settled on a weekly basis. On a daily basis, a receivable and/or payable is recorded to recognize the outstanding settlement balance. As of December 31, 2020, the restricted cash balance held in a federally insured bank account related to the CSO Program was $3.1 million. As of December 31, 2020, there was a payable balance of $0.8 million related to settlement which was included in accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires OppFi to make estimates and judgments that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses and related disclosures. OppFi bases estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under current circumstances, results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities that are not readily available from other sources. Estimates are evaluated on an ongoing basis. To the extent that there are differences between OppFi’s estimates and actual results, OppFi’s future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows will be affected.
Accounting policies, as described in detail in the notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements, are an integral part of the OppFi’s consolidated financial statements. A thorough understanding of these accounting policies is essential when reviewing OppFi’s reported results of operations and financial position. Management believes that the critical accounting policies and estimates listed below require OppFi to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain.
–Valuation of installment receivables accounted for under the fair value options;
–Determination of the allowance for credit losses;
–Valuation of the public and private warrants
Fair value is the price that could be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. Fair value is determined using different inputs and assumptions based upon the instrument being valued. Where observable market prices from transactions for identical assets or liabilities are not available, we identify market prices for similar assets or liabilities. If observable market prices are unavailable or impracticable to obtain for any such similar assets or liabilities, we look to other modeling techniques, which often incorporate unobservable inputs which are inherently subjective and require significant judgment. Fair value estimates requiring significant judgments are determined using various inputs developed by management with the appropriate skills, understanding and knowledge of the underlying asset or liability to ensure the development of fair value estimates is reasonable. In certain cases, our assessments, with respect to assumptions market participants would make, may be inherently difficult to determine, and the use of different assumptions could result in material changes to these fair value measurements.
Installment Finance Receivables: To derive the fair value, OppFi generally utilizes discounted cash flow analyses that factor in estimated losses and prepayments over the estimated duration of the underlying assets. Loss and prepayment assumptions are determined using historical loss data and include appropriate consideration of recent trends and anticipated future performance. Future cash flows are discounted using a rate of return that OppFi believes a market participant would require.
64
Warrants: OppFi holds public and private placement warrants that are recorded as a liability on the consolidated balance sheets. These liabilities are subjected to remeasurement at each balance sheet date and are recorded at fair value. We value Public Warrants at market price based on a quoted price in the marketplace. For Private Placement Warrants, Private Units Warrants and Underwriter Warrants, we estimate the fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation model. This model utilizes unobservable inputs, including expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, and expected term. These inputs may be influenced by several factors that can change significantly and are difficult to predict. These estimates are inherently risky and require significant judgment on the part of management.
Allowance for Credit Losses: Effective, January 1, 2021, OppFi adopted ASU 2016-13, replacing their incurred loss impairment methodology with the current expected credit losses methodology for their SalaryTap and OppFi Card finance receivables. The allowance for credit losses represents management’s best estimate of current expected credit losses over the life of these portfolios. Estimating credit losses requires judgment in determining loan specific attributes impacting the borrower’s ability to repay contractual obligations. The allowance for credit losses is assessed at each balance sheet date and adjustments are recorded in the provision for credit losses on finance receivables. The allowance is currently estimated using market data for determining anticipated credit losses of its SalaryTap and OppFi Card finance receivables until sufficient internal data exists. Management believes its allowance is adequate to absorb the expected life of loan credit losses as of the balance sheet date. Actual losses incurred may differ materially from management’s estimates.
Changes in these estimates, that are likely to occur from period to period, or the use of different estimates that the Company could have reasonably used in the current period, would have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, our management has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2021 (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective and provide reasonable assurance (i) to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms; and (ii) to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
On April 12, 2021, the staff of the SEC (the “SEC Staff”) issued a public statement entitled “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”)” (the “SEC Staff Statement”). In the SEC Staff Statement, the SEC Staff expressed its view that certain terms and conditions common to SPAC warrants may require the warrants to be classified as liabilities on the SPAC’s balance sheet as opposed to equity. Following the issuance of the SEC statement, on April 22, 2021, FGNA concluded that it was appropriate to restate its previously issued audited financial statements as of and for the period ended December 31, 2020, and as part of such process, FGNA identified a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting. As the accounting acquirer in the Business Combination, we inherited this material weakness and the accounting for the Warrants. We have taken steps to remediate this material weakness through the formalization of accounting policies and controls, hiring of additional qualified accounting and finance personnel, and engagement of financial consultants.
With the exception of changes made in response to the SEC Staff Statement noted above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
