Explanatory Note
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 (the “Form 10-Q”) contains certain financial statements and information for the three months ended March 31, 2022 filed by Standard Premium Finance Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 filed on May 13, 2022.
In connection with preparing the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company determined that it previously incorrectly classified its Increase/Decrease in Premium Finance Contracts Receivable as operating activities. Beginning in the third quarter of 2022, the Company adjusted its consolidated statements of cash flows to present Increase/Decrease in Premium Finance Contracts Receivable as investing activities in accordance with ASC 230, Statement of Cash Flows. The consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2022 contained in this Form 10-Q has been restated to reflect these adjustments to the presentation.
See Note 3 Adjustment to Statement of Cash Flows to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for additional information regarding the restated Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows information contained in this Form 10-Q.

Standard Premium Finance Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiary
Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2023
(unaudited)
1. Principles of Consolidation and Description of Business
Standard Premium Finance Holdings, Inc. (“SPFH” or the “Holding”) was incorporated on May 12, 2016, pursuant to the laws of the State of Florida.
Standard Premium Finance Management Corporation (“SPFMC” or the “subsidiary”) was incorporated on April 23, 1991, pursuant to the laws of the State of Florida, to engage principally in the insurance premium financing business. The Subsidiary is a licensed insurance premium finance company in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, Arizona, Virginia, Arkansas, Nebraska, Mississippi, Maryland, Colorado, Ohio, Louisiana, Tennessee, Massachusetts, Minnesota, and Alabama.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SPFH and its wholly-owned subsidiary SPFMC. SPFH and its subsidiary are collectively referred to as (“the Company”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements (unaudited), which include the accounts of Standard Premium Finance Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements that would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements of Standard Premium Finance Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, have been omitted.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers short-term interest-bearing
investments with initial maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. There are
Revenue Recognition
Finance charges on insurance premium installment contracts are initially recorded as unearned interest and are credited to income monthly over the term of the finance agreement. For Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and Texas contracts, an initial origination fee of $20 per contract and the first month’s interest are recognized as income at the inception of a contract. The same treatment is applied to the $15 initial origination fee and first month’s interest in South Carolina. The origination fee can only be charged once to an insured in a twelve-month period. In accordance with industry practice, finance charges are recognized as income using the “Rule of 78s” method of amortizing finance charge income, which does not materially differ from the interest method of amortizing finance charge income on short term receivables. Late charges are recognized as income when charged. Unearned interest is netted against Premium Finance Contracts and Related Receivables on the balance sheet for reporting purposes.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
The provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) provide guidance on the recognition, presentation, and disclosure of revenue in financial statements. ASC 606 outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provides guidance for disclosure related to revenue recognition policies. ASC 606 requires revenue to be recognized upon transfer of control of promised services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for services that are distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. In such cases, revenue would be recognized at the time of delivery or over time for each performance of service. However, ASC 606 exempts items under ASC 835-30 and ASC 310-20 (i.e. finance charges, late charges and origination fee income for the Company).
Premium Finance Contracts and Related Receivable
The Company finances insurance premiums on
policies primarily for commercial enterprises. The Company amortizes the loans over the term of each contract, which varies from 3
to 12 monthly payments, and manages these loans on a collective basis based on similar risk characteristics. As of March 31, 2023
and December 31, 2022, the portfolio has an amortized cost basis of $
Allowance for Credit Losses
The carrying amount of the Premium Finance Contracts (“Contracts”) is reduced by an allowance for credit losses that are maintained at a level which, in management’s judgment, is adequate to absorb credit losses inherent in the Contracts. The amount of the allowance is based upon management’s evaluation of the collectability of the Contracts, including the nature of the accounts, credit concentration, trends, and historical data, specific impaired Contracts, current and forecasted economic conditions, and other risks inherent in the Contracts. The allowance is increased by a provision for credit losses, which is charged to expense, and reduced by charge-offs, net of recovery.
To estimate expected credit losses on loans that exhibit similar risk characteristics, the Company considers historical loss information (updated for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the expected collectability of the amortized cost basis pool) using a loss-rate approach. The Company monitors the A.M. Best rating for insurance carriers whose policies are being financed as a factor of the quality of its contract receivables. As of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the Company did not expect any material degradation to the ratings of the insurance carriers it currently underwrites or anticipates underwriting in a way that would affect the allowance for credit losses.
In addition, specific allowances are established for accounts over 120 days. Individual contracts are written off against the allowance when collection of the individual contracts appears doubtful. The collectability of outstanding and cancelled contracts is generally secured by collateral in the form of the unearned premiums on the underlying policies. The collectability of amounts due from agents is determined by the financial strength of the agency.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
Furniture and equipment
Computer equipment and software
Leasehold improvements

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Amortization of Line of Credit Costs
Amortization of line of credit costs is computed using the straight-line method over the life of the loan.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include assumptions used in valuation of deferred tax assets, allowance for doubtful accounts, depreciable lives of property and equipment, and valuation of stock-based compensation.
Concentration of Credit and Financial Instrument Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the
Company to concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash and loans receivable from customers, agents, and insurance companies. The
Company maintains its cash balances at two banks. Accounts at these financial institutions are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance

The Company controls its credit risk in accounts receivable through credit standards, limits on exposure, by monitoring the financial condition of insurance companies, by adhering to statutory cancellation policies, and by monitoring and pursuing collections from past due accounts. We cancel policies at the earliest permissible date allowed by the statutory cancellation regulations.
Approximately
Cash Surrender Value of Life Insurance
The Company is the owner and beneficiary of a life
insurance policy on its president. The cash surrender value relative to the policy in place at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was
$
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s carrying amounts of financial instruments as defined by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 825, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, including premium finance contracts and related receivables, prepaid expenses, drafts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, approximate their fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments. The fair value of the line of credit and notes payable are based on current rates at which the Company can borrow funds with similar remaining maturities and the carrying value approximates fair value.
Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes is computed using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and for operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates that apply to taxable income in effect for the years in which those tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.
Uncertain tax positions are recognized only when the
Company believes it is more likely than not that the tax position will be upheld on examination by the taxing authorities based on the
merits of the position. The Company has

Tax returns are open to examination by taxing authorities
for three years after filing. No income tax returns are currently under examination by taxing authorities. SPFMC and SPFH recognize interest
and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. SPFMC and SPFH did
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC Topic No. 718, “Stock Compensation,” which establishes the requirements for expensing equity awards. The Company measures and recognizes as compensation expense the fair value of all share-based payment awards based on estimated grant date fair values. Our stock-based compensation are issuances made to directors, executives, employees and consultants, which includes employee stock options related to our 2019 Equity Incentive Plan and stock warrants. The determination of fair value involves a number of significant estimates. We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the value of employee stock options and stock warrants which requires a number of assumptions to determine the model inputs. These include the expected volatility of our stock and employee exercise behavior which are based expectations of future developments over the term of the option.
The Corporation accounts for earnings (loss) per share in accordance with FASB ASC Topic No. 260 - 10, “Earnings Per Share”, which establishes the requirements for presenting earnings per share (“EPS”). FASB ASC Topic No. 260 - 10 requires the presentation of “basic” and “diluted” EPS on the face of the
statement of operations. Basic EPS amounts are calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted EPS assumes the exercise of all stock options, warrants and convertible securities having exercise prices less than the average market price of the common stock during the periods, using the treasury stock method.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, stock options to purchase and shares of common stock were outstanding, respectively, as described in Note 12. of these options vested on March 1, 2021, stock options vested on March 1, 2022, stock options vest on June 29, 2023, and the remaining stock options vest on June 29, 2024. The vested stock options are considered dilutive and included in the calculation of diluted EPS at March 31, 2023, but considered anti-dilutive and excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS at March 31, 2022.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023
and 2022, stock warrants to purchase
The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock can be converted to common stock at 80% of the prevailing market price over the previous 30-day period at the option of the Company. This preferred stock is anti-dilutive as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and excluded from diluted earnings per share.
Leases
The Company recognizes and measures its leases in accordance with ASC Topic 842, “Leases”. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease, or contains a lease, at inception of a contract and when the terms of an existing contract are changed. The Company recognizes a lease liability and a right of use (ROU) asset at the commencement date of the lease. The lease liability is initially and subsequently recognized based on the present value of its future lease payments calculated using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) - Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts on an Entity’s Own Equity. The ASU simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more equity contracts to qualify for the exceptions. The ASU also simplifies the diluted net income per share calculation in certain areas. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not anticipate any impact on the consolidated financial statements from the adoption of the standard.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments," which replaces the existing "incurred loss" model for recognizing credit losses with an "expected loss" model referred to as the CECL model. Under the CECL model, the Company is required to present certain financial assets carried at amortized cost, such as insurance premium finance loans held for investment, at the net amount expected to be collected. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. The Company adopted this standard in the first fiscal quarter of 2023. There has been no impact on current earnings due to the adoption of this standard.
3. Restatement of the Statement of Cash Flows
In the third quarter of 2022, pursuant to the advice of a technical expert, the Company restated its consolidated statements of cash flows to present the increase/decrease in premium finance contracts receivable as investing activities, in accordance with ASC 230, Statement of Cash Flows. Previously, the increase/decrease in premium finance contracts receivable was presented within operating activities on the Company's consolidated statements of cash flows.

4. Premium Finance Contracts, Related Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses
Premium Finance Contracts and Related Receivable represent monthly payments due on insurance premium finance contracts. The Company finances insurance policies over periods from three months to one year for businesses and consumers who make an initial down payment of, on average, 25 percent of the insurance policy amounts. The entire amount of the contract is recorded including amounts due for finance charges and services charges. These receivables are reported net of unearned interest for financial statements purposes. Amounts due from agents represent balances related to (1) an agent’s unearned commission due to a policy cancellation and (2) down payments collected by the agents on behalf of the insured, which are due to us. Receivables from insurance premium finance contracts cancelled are due from the insurance companies.
At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, premium finance contract and agents’ receivable consists of the following:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Overview
We are an insurance premium financing company, specializing primarily in commercial policies. We make it efficient for companies to access financing for insurance premiums. Enabled by our network of marketing representatives and relationships with insurance agents, we provide a value-driven, customer-focused lending service.
We have offered premium financing since 1991 through our wholly owned subsidiary, Standard Premium Finance Management Corporation. We are generally targeting premium financing loans from $1,000 to $15,000, with repayment terms ranging from 3 to 12 months, although we may offer larger loans in cases we deem appropriate. Qualified customers may have multiple financings with us concurrently, which we believe provides opportunities for repeat business, as well as increased value to our customers.
We originate loans primarily in Florida, although we operate in several states. Over the past three years, the Company has expanded its operations, and currently is financing insurance premiums in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Texas, Tennessee and Arizona. Throughout 2022, we obtained licenses in eleven additional states: Virginia, Arkansas, Nebraska, Mississippi, Maryland, Colorado, Ohio, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Minnesota, and Alabama. We intend to continue to expand our market into new states as part of our organic growth trend. Loans are originated primarily through a network of insurance agents solicited by our in-house sales team and marketing representatives.
We generate the majority of our revenue through interest income and the associated fees earned from our loan products. We earn interest based on the “rule of 78” and earn other associated fees as applicable to each loan. These fees include, but are not limited to, a one-time finance charge, late fees, and NSF fees. Our company charges interest to its customers solely by the Rule of 78. Charging interest per the Rule of 78 is the industry standard among premium finance loans. The Rule of 78 is a method to calculate the amount of principal and interest paid by each payment on a loan with equal monthly payments. The Rule of 78 is a permissible method of calculating interest in the states in which we operate. The Rule of 78 recognizes greater amounts of interest income and lesser amounts of principal repayment during the first months of the loan, while decreasing interest income and increasing principal repayment during the final months of the loan. Whenever a loan is repaid prior to full maturity, the Rule of 78 methodology is applied and the borrower is refunded accordingly.
We rely on a diversified set of funding sources for the loans we make to our customers. Our primary source of financing has historically been a line of credit at a financial institution collateralized by our loan receivables and our other assets. We receive additional funding from unsecured subordinate noteholders that pays monthly interest to the investors. We have also used proceeds from operating cash flow to fund loans in the past and continue to finance a portion of our outstanding loans with these funds. See Liquidity and Capital Resources for additional information regarding our financing strategy.
The Company’s main source of funding is its line of credit, which represented approximately 64% ($34,657,905) of its capital and total liabilities as of March 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2023, the Company’s subordinated notes payable and PPP loan represented approximately 17% ($9,190,814) of the Company’s capital and total liabilities, operating liabilities provide approximately 8% ($4,009,526) of the Company’s capital and total liabilities, preferred equity provides approximately 3% ($1,660,000) of the Company’s capital and total liabilities, and equity in retained earnings and common paid-in capital represents the remaining 8% ($4,339,322) of the Company’s capital and total liabilities.

Key Financial and Operating Metrics
We regularly monitor a series of metrics in order to measure our current performance and project our future performance. These metrics aid us in developing and refining our growth strategies and making strategic decisions.
As of or for the Three Months Ended March 31, | ||||||||
2023 (unaudited) | 2022 (unaudited) | |||||||
| Gross Revenue | $ | 2,078,804 | $ | 1,822,596 | ||||

| Return on Assets | 0.30 | % | 1.68 | % | ||||
| Return on Equity | 3.69 | % | 22.76 | % | ||||
Gross Revenue
Gross Revenue represents the sum of interest and finance income, associated fees and other revenue.
Originations
Originations represent the total principal amount of Loans made during the period.
Interest Earned Rate
The Interest Earned Rate is the average annual percentage interest rate earned on new loans.
Cost of Funds Rate, Gross
Cost of Funds Rate, Gross is calculated as interest expense divided by average debt outstanding for the period.
Cost of Funds Rate, Net
Cost of Funds Rate, Net is calculated as interest expense divided by average debt outstanding for the period, net of the interest related tax benefit.
Reserve Ratio
Reserve Ratio is our allowance for credit losses at the end of the period divided by the total amount of principal outstanding on Loans at the end of the period. It excludes net deferred origination costs and associated fees.
Provision Rate
Provision Rate equals the provision for credit losses for the period divided by originations for the period. Because we reserve for probable credit losses inherent in the portfolio upon origination, this rate is significantly impacted by the expectation of credit losses for the period’s originations volume. This rate is also impacted by changes in loss expectations for contract receivables originated prior to the commencement of the period.
Return on Assets
Return on Assets is calculated as annualized net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders for the period divided by average total assets for the period.
Return on Equity
Return on Equity is calculated as annualized net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders for the period divided by average stockholders’ equity attributable to common stockholders for the period.

RESULTS of OPERATIONS
Results of Operations for the Three Months ended March 31, 2023 Compared to the Three Months ended March 31. 2022
Revenue
Revenue increased by 10.4% overall or $196,208 to $2,078,804 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 from $1,882,596 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in revenue was primarily due to a 11.4% or $178,354 increase in finance charges and an 8.3% or $18,899 increase in late charges. Revenue from finance charges comprised 83.6% and 82.8% of overall revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022, the company financed an additional $1,338,606 in new loan originations. This increase was due largely to increased marketing efforts throughout our established states. Although the Company increased amounts financed, the total quantity of loan originations remained stable for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The quantity of loan originations is directly correlated to the origination charge revenue, as the Company immediately recognizes an origination fee on substantially all new loans.
Under the terms of the line of credit agreement, the loan receivables and our other assets provide the collateral for the loan. As the receivables increase, driven by new sales, the company has greater borrowing power, giving it the opportunity to generate additional sales. In November 2022, the Company extended the maturity of its line of credit until November 30, 2025. See Future Cash Requirements for the Company’s strategy regarding its line of credit.
Expense
Expenses increased by 26.4% or $417,148 to $1,999,056 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 from $1,581,908 for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
The increase in expenses was primarily due to increases in the following categories:
| · | $365,157 increase in interest expense as a result of increases in the line of credit interest rate. Due to benchmark interest rate increases adopted by the Federal Reserve Board throughout 2022, interest rates throughout the marketplace have increased accordingly. Our line of credit features a variable interest rate based on one-month SOFR with a minimum rate of 3.35%. As of March 31, 2023 and 2022, our line of credit’s interest rate was quoted at 7.42% and 3.35%, respectively. Furthermore, as of March 31, 2023, our net borrowings on the line of credit have increased by $2,432,358 to $34,657,905 from $32,225,547 at March 31, 2022. This increase in borrowings is due to increased loan originations. | |
| · | $68,551 increase in salaries and wages expense as a result of increased base salaries and wages for our office staff and executives. Furthermore, in June 2022, the Company executed employment contracts with its CEO and CFO, increasing their base salaries. | |
Income before Taxes
Income before taxes decreased by $220,940 to $79,748 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 from $300,688 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. This decrease was attributable to the net increases and decreases as discussed above.
Income Tax Provision
Income tax provision decreased $64,755 to $10,868 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 from $75,623 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. This decrease was primarily attributable to the decrease in taxable income.
Net Income
Net Income decreased by $156,185 to $68,880 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 from $225,065 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. This decrease was attributable to the $220,940 decrease in income before taxes related primarily to increased interest expense, partially offset by the $64,755 decrease in the provision for income taxes.

LIQUIDITY and CAPITAL RESOURCES as of March 31, 2023
We had $260,492 of cash and a working capital surplus of $13,135,853 at March 31, 2023. A significant working capital surplus is generally expected through the normal course of business due primarily to the difference between the balance in premium finance contracts receivable and the line of credit liability. As discussed in the Revenues section, the Company’s line of credit is currently the primary source of operating funds. In February 2021, the Company entered into a contract with its lender, First Horizon Bank, for a two-year $35,000,000 line of credit. In October 2021, the Company further increased its borrowing power on its line of credit to $45,000,000, an increase of $10,000,000. In November 2022, the Company extended the maturity of this line of credit until November 30, 2025 and replaced the benchmark rate of the loan from 30-day LIBOR to 30-day SOFR (Secured Overnight Financing Rate). LIBOR will cease to be published after June 30, 2023. The terms of the amended line of include an interest rate based on the 30-day SOFR rate plus an applicable margin of 2.55% - 2.96%, with a minimum rate of 3.35%. The applicable margin is based on the Company’s ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth. As of March 31, 2023, the Company’s applicable margin was 2.75%. We anticipate that the interest rate we pay on our revolving credit agreement may rise due to the recently adopted benchmark interest rate increases by the Federal Reserve Board. We believe that we will be able to pass along any interest rate increase on loans funded after the interest rate increase so that our net interest spread will not be materially affected. Furthermore, because of the short-term nature of our loans, we are not bound to any particular loan and its fixed interest rate for a long period of time. Based on our estimates and taking into account the risks and uncertainties of our plans, we believe that we will have adequate liquidity to finance and operate our business and repay our obligations as they become due in the next 12 months.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company raised an additional $30,000 in subordinated notes payable – related parties and $25,000 in subordinated notes payable. The Company repaid $27,000 of notes payable – related parties and $242,000 of notes payable. The Company utilizes its inflows from subordinated debt as a financing source before drawing additionally from the line of credit.
Future Cash Requirements
As the Company anticipates its growth patterns to continue, the availability on the line of credit is paramount to fueling this growth. By securing its line of credit, the Company can expect to satisfy the cash requirements anticipated by its future growth. Coinciding with these goals, in February 2021, the Company entered into a contract with First Horizon Bank for a two-year $35,000,000 line of credit. In October 2021, the Company executed a loan amendment with this lender to increase its line of credit to $45,000,000, an increase of $10,000,000. In November 2022, the Company extended its maturity on its line of credit facility until November 30, 2025. The extended maturity provides stability for the Company’s future cash requirements.
Uses of Liquidity and Capital Resources
We require cash to fund our operating expenses and working capital requirements, including costs associated with our premium finance loans, capital expenditures, debt repayments, acquisitions (if any), pursuing market expansion, supporting sales and marketing activities, and other general corporate purposes. While we believe we have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to fund our operations and repay our debt, we may elect to pursue additional financing activities such as refinancing or expanding existing debt or pursuing other debt or equity offerings to provide flexibility with our cash management and provide capital for potential acquisitions.
Off-balance Sheet Arrangements
None.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
We consider the following to be our most critical accounting policy because it involves critical accounting estimates and a significant degree of management judgment:
Allowance for credit losses
We are subject to the risk of loss associated with our borrowers’ inability to fulfill their payment obligations, the risk that we will not collect sufficient unearned premium refunds on the cancelled policies on the defaulted loans to fully cover the unpaid loan principal and the risk that payments due us from insurance agents and brokers will not be paid.
The carrying amount of the Premium Finance Contracts (“Contracts”) is reduced by an allowance for credit losses that are maintained at a level which, in management’s judgment, is adequate to absorb losses inherent in the Contracts. The amount of the allowance is based upon management’s evaluation of the collectability of the Contracts, including the nature of the accounts, credit concentration, trends, and historical data, specific impaired Contracts, current and forecasted economic conditions, and other risks inherent in the Contracts. The allowance is increased by a provision for credit losses, which is charged to expense, and reduced by charge-offs, net of recovery.
To estimate expected credit losses on loans that exhibit similar risk characteristics, the Company considers historical loss information (updated for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the expected collectability of the amortized cost basis pool) using a loss-rate approach. The Company monitors the A.M. Best rating for insurance carriers whose policies are being financed as a factor of the quality of its contract receivables.
| 25 |
In addition, specific allowances are established for accounts past due over 120 days. Individual contracts are written off against the allowance when collection of the individual contracts appears doubtful. The collectability of outstanding and cancelled contracts is generally secured by collateral in the form of the unearned premiums on the underlying policies and accordingly historical losses are approximately 1% to 1.5% of the principal amount of loans made each year. The Company considers historical losses in determining the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses. The collectability of amounts due from agents is determined by the financial strength of the agency.
Stock-Based Compensation
We account for stock-based compensation by measuring and recognizing as compensation expense the fair value of all share-based payment awards made to directors, executives, employees and consultants, including employee stock options related to our 2019 Equity Incentive Plan and stock warrants based on estimated grant date fair values. The determination of fair value involves a number of significant estimates. We use the Black Scholes option pricing model to estimate the value of employee stock options and stock warrants which requires a number of assumptions to determine the model inputs. These include the expected volatility of our stock and employee exercise behavior which are based expectations of future developments over the term of the option.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Not required.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, we have evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, 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 March 31, 2023. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Based upon the evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at March 31, 2023 at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2023 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
The Company becomes involved in various legal proceedings and claims in the normal course of business. In management’s opinion, the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Our operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including those described in Part I. “Item 1A. Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 17, 2023 (“2022 Form 10-K”), which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, there have been no material changes in our risk factors disclosed in our 2022 Form 10-K.
