NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Tables in thousands, except percentages, share and per share data)

 

A. Nature of Business

MicroFinancial Incorporated (referred to as “MicroFinancial,” “we,” “us” or “our”) operates primarily through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, TimePayment Corp. and LeaseComm Corporation. TimePayment is a specialized commercial/consumer finance company that leases and rents equipment and provides other financing services, with a primary focus on the “microticket” market. LeaseComm originated leases from January 1986 through October 2002, and continues to service its remaining contract portfolio. TimePayment commenced originating leases in July 2004, and began acquiring security monitoring service contracts in the second quarter of 2012. We primarily source our originations through a nationwide network of independent equipment vendors, sales organizations and other dealer-based origination networks. We fund our operations through cash provided by operating activities and borrowings under our revolving line of credit.

 

B. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial statements. Accordingly, our interim statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required for our annual financial statements. In the opinion of our management, the condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of these interim results. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes, including our critical accounting policies, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. The results for the six months ended June 30, 2014, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2014.

The balance sheet at December 31, 2013, has been derived from the audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

We have no elements of comprehensive income, and therefore a statement of comprehensive income is not necessary for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

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 amount 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 reported period. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates are revenue recognition, the allowance for credit losses, share-based payments and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Segment Reporting

We operate in one industry segment that leases and rents microticket equipment and provides other financing services. We typically fund contracts that range from $500 to $25,000, with an average transaction of approximately $4,000 to $6,000. All of our operations are located in the United States. Accordingly, we believe we have a single reportable segment for disclosure purposes.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Our financial instruments that are exposed to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of lease and rental receivables and cash and cash equivalent balances. To reduce our risk, credit policies are in place for approving leases and the lease pools are monitored by us. In addition, cash and cash equivalents are maintained at high-quality financial institutions.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Tables in thousands, except percentages, share and per share data)

 

Financial instruments that subject us to concentrations of credit risk principally consist of cash equivalents and deposits in bank accounts. We deposit our cash and invest in short-term investments primarily through national commercial banks. Deposits in excess of amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) are exposed to loss in the event of nonperformance by the institution. The Company regularly maintains cash deposits in excess of the FDIC insurance coverage. However, we have not experienced any losses in such accounts.

F. Revolving line of credit

We entered into the revolving line of credit in August 2007 with a bank syndicate led by Santander Bank (Santander) based on qualified TimePayment lease receivables. The total commitment under the facility, originally $30 million, has been increased at various times, most recently from $100 million to $150 million in December 2012. The December 2012 amendment also permits further increases in the total commitment under an accordion feature, to $175 million, with the agreement of the Agent and, as applicable, a new or existing Lender under certain conditions. Outstanding borrowings are collateralized by eligible lease contracts and a security interest in all of our other assets.

We had approximately $80.2 million and $72.6 million outstanding on our revolving line of credit facility at June 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013, respectively. At June 30, 2014, the total commitment under the facility was $150 million, and our available borrowing capacity was approximately $69.8 million, subject to limitations based on lease eligibility and a borrowing base formula. The revolving line of credit has financial covenants that we must comply with to obtain funding and avoid an event of default. As of June 30, 2014, we were in compliance with all covenants under the revolving line of credit.

The maturity date of our revolving line of credit is December 2016, at which time the outstanding loan balance plus interest becomes due and payable. At our option upon maturity, the unpaid principal balance may be converted to a six month term loan.

At June 30, 2014, $70.0 million of our loans were LIBOR loans and $10.2 million of our loans were Base Rate Loans. The interest rate on our loans at June 30, 2014, was between 2.65% and 4.00%. At the same date, the qualified lease receivables eligible under the borrowing base computation were approximately $133.1 million.

 

G. Stock-Based Compensation

Under our 2008 Equity Incentive Plan, we reserved 1,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance, all of which had been issued as of December 31, 2013. In May 2012, our stockholders approved our 2012 Equity Incentive Plan, for which we have 750,000 shares of common stock reserved, of which 473,039 shares are unissued as of June 30, 2014.

Non-employee director stock grants

The following table details the stock granted to our non-employee directors under the 2008 and 2012 Plans during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. These shares were issued as part of our annual director compensation arrangements related to the prior years’ service, and were fully vested on the date of issuance.

In January 2014, the Compensation and Benefits Committee of our Board of Directors granted 38,278 RSUs to our executive officers. The RSUs were valued on the date of grant and the fair value of these awards was $8.89 per share. The issuance consisted of two separate tranches. The first tranche was for 24,811 RSUs which vest over five years at 25% annually beginning on the second anniversary of the grant date. The second tranche was for 13,467 RSUs which cliff vest after three years only if management achieves specific performance measures.

In January 2013, the Compensation and Benefits Committee of our Board of Directors granted 45,316 RSUs to our executive officers. The RSUs were valued on the date of grant and the fair value of these awards was $7.55 per share. The issuance consisted of three separate tranches. The first tranche was for 28,643 RSUs which vest over five years at 25% annually beginning on the second anniversary of the grant date. The second tranche was for 15,548 RSUs which cliff vest after three years only if management achieves specific performance measures. The third tranche was for 1,125 RSUs which vest over five years at 25% annually, beginning on the second anniversary of the grant date, and represented payment related to 2012 incentive bonus compensation exceeding targets.

H. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Matters

We are involved from time to time in litigation incidental to the conduct of our business. Although we do not expect that the outcome of any of these matters, individually or collectively, will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations, litigation is inherently unpredictable. Therefore, judgments could be rendered, or settlements entered, that could adversely affect our operating results or cash flows in a particular period. We routinely assess all of our litigation and threatened litigation as to the probability of ultimately incurring a liability, and record our best estimate of the ultimate loss in situations where we assess the likelihood of loss as probable.

Contract Commitments

We accept contract applications on a daily basis and, as a result, we have a pipeline of applications that have been approved, where a contract has not been originated. Our commitment to lend does not become binding until all of the steps in the contract origination process have been completed, including the receipt of the contract, supporting documentation and verification with the lessee. Since we fund on the same day a contract is verified, we do not have any outstanding commitments to lend.

Stock Repurchases

On August 10, 2010, our Board of Directors approved a common stock repurchase program under which we were authorized to purchase up to 250,000 of our outstanding shares from time to time. The repurchases were permitted to take place in either the open market or through block trades. The repurchase program was funded by our working capital.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we repurchased and retired 66,552 shares of our common stock under this program at an average price per share of $8.07. The total cost of the shares purchased was approximately $536,000. The total number of shares repurchased under this program as of June 30, 2014, was 250,000, which represents the total shares authorized to be repurchased.

I. Subsequent Events

We have evaluated all events and transactions that occurred through the date on which we issued these financial statements. Other than as noted below, we did not have any material subsequent events that impacted our condensed consolidated financial statements.

On July 23, 2014, we declared a dividend of $0.07 payable on August 14, 2014, to shareholders of record on August 4, 2014.

On July 24, 2014, the Board of Directors authorized a new common stock repurchase program under which we are authorized to repurchase up to 250,000 shares of our common stock from time to time. We may repurchase our common stock in open market purchases or in privately negotiated transactions. We will determine the timing and amount of any shares repurchased based on our evaluation of market conditions and other factors. The repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Any repurchased shares will be available for use in connection with our stock plans and for other corporate purposes. The repurchase program will be funded by our working capital.

We were recently notified by the Internal Revenue Service that the Company has been selected for an audit of its 2012 federal income tax return. While we do not anticipate any material adjustments resulting from the audit at this time, we are unable to fully assess the risks and exposure at this early stage of the audit.

 

J. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update Number 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The amendments in this Update create Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, including most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. In addition, the amendments supersede the cost guidance in Subtopic 605-35, Revenue Recognition—Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts, and create new Subtopic 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs—Contracts with Customers. In summary, the core principle of Topic 606 is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance in this Update affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards (for example, insurance contracts or lease contracts). The amendments in this Update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We are still evaluating the potential impact of this Update on our results of operations.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Introduction

The following information should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report and with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Forward-Looking Information

Statements in this document that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In addition, words such as “believes” “anticipates” “expects,” intends and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We caution that a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf. Such statements contain a number of risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to those associated with: the demand for the equipment types we finance; our significant capital requirements; our ability or inability to obtain the financing we need, or to use internally generated funds, in order to continue originating contracts; the risks of defaults on our leases; our provision for credit losses; our residual interests in underlying equipment; possible adverse consequences associated with our collection policy; the effect of higher interest rates on our portfolio; increasing competition; increased governmental regulation of the rates and methods we use in financing and collecting on our leases and contracts; acquiring other portfolios or companies; dependence on key personnel; changes to accounting standards for equipment leases; adverse results in litigation and regulatory matters, or promulgation of new or enhanced legislation or regulations; information technology systems disruptions; and general economic and business conditions. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect our view only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly revise these forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances. We cannot assure that we will be able to anticipate or respond timely to changes which could adversely affect our operating results. Results of operations in any past period should not be considered indicative of results to be expected in future periods. Fluctuations in operating results may result in fluctuations in the price of our common stock. Statements relating to past dividend payments or our current dividend policy should not be construed as a guarantee that any future dividends will be paid. For a more complete description of the prominent risks and uncertainties inherent in our business, see the risk factors included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and other documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Overview

We are a specialized commercial/consumer finance company that provides equipment leasing and other financing services, with a primary focus on the “microticket market”. Our portfolio generally consists of business equipment leased or rented primarily to small commercial enterprises. We typically fund contracts that range from $500 to $25,000, with an average transaction amount of approximately $4,000 to $6,000. Initial terms of the leases in our portfolio generally range from 12 to 60 months, with an average initial term of approximately 44 months.

We derive the majority of our revenues from leases originated and held by us, payments on service and rental contracts and fee income.

In a typical lease transaction, we originate a lease through our nationwide network of equipment vendors, independent sales organizations and brokers. Upon our approval of a lease application and verification that the lessee has received the equipment and signed the lease, we pay the dealer for the cost of the equipment, plus the dealer’s profit margin.

Substantially all leases originated or acquired by us are non-cancelable. During the term of the lease, we are scheduled to receive payments sufficient to cover our borrowing costs and the cost of the underlying equipment and to provide us with an appropriate profit. We pass along some of the costs of our leases and contracts by charging

late fees, prepayment penalties, loss and damage waiver fees and other service fees, when applicable. Collection fees are imposed based on our estimate of the costs of collection. The loss and damage waiver fees are charged if a customer fails to provide proof of insurance and are reasonably related to the cost of replacing the lost or damaged equipment or product. The initial non-cancelable term of the lease is equal to or less than the equipment’s estimated economic life and often provides us with additional revenues based on the residual value of the equipment at the end of the lease.

We also acquire service contracts under which a homeowner purchases a security system and simultaneously signs a contract with the dealer for the monitoring of that system for a monthly fee. Upon approval of the monitoring application and verification with the homeowner that the system is installed, we purchase the right to the payment stream under the monitoring service contract from the dealer at a negotiated multiple of the monthly payments. In years prior to 2012, our service contract revenue was derived from our LeaseComm portfolio, for which we have not purchased any new security service contracts since 2002. Beginning in the second quarter of 2012, TimePayment began purchasing service contracts.

We finance the origination of our leases and contracts primarily through cash provided by operating activities and borrowings under our revolving line of credit. We entered into the revolving line of credit in August 2007 with a bank syndicate led by Santander. The total commitment under the facility, originally $30 million, has been increased at various times, most recently in December 2012, when it was increased from $100 million to $150 million. The December 2012 amendment permits further increases in the total commitment under an accordion feature, to $175 million, with the agreement of the Agent and, as applicable, a new or existing Lender under certain conditions. Our borrowing capacity under the facility is subject to a borrowing base calculated by reference to qualified TimePayment lease receivables. Outstanding borrowings are collateralized by eligible lease contracts and a security interest in all of our other assets.

Operating Data

Dealer funding was $27.8 million and $50.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively; compared to $23.9 million and $43.9 million for the comparable periods in 2013. This represents an increase of $6.9 million, or 15.6%, over the comparable six month period. The increase in origination dollars resulted from a 17.1% increase in the number of contracts funded during the first six months of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. The average contract amount funded was approximately $4,900 during both periods.

We continue to concentrate on our business development efforts, which include increasing the size of our vendor base and sourcing a larger number of applications from those vendors. Receivables due in installments, estimated residual values and investment in rental equipment and service contracts increased from $243.8 million at December 31, 2013, to $246.3 million at June 30, 2014. Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $2.1 million, or 4.7% to $47.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the equivalent period in 2013.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note B to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain accounting policies are particularly important to the portrayal of our consolidated financial position and results of operations. These policies require the application of significant judgment by us and as a result, are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. In applying these policies, we make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the related disclosures. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience, terms of existing contracts, observance of trends in the industry, information obtained from dealers and other sources, and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Our critical accounting policies, including revenue recognition, maintaining the allowance for credit losses, determining provisions for income taxes, and accounting for share-based compensation are each discussed in detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. We have reviewed and determined that those policies remain our critical accounting policies and we did not make any changes in those policies during the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Our lease contracts are accounted for as financing leases. At origination, we record the gross lease receivable, the estimated residual value of the leased equipment, initial direct costs incurred and the unearned lease income. Unearned lease income is the amount by which the gross lease receivable plus the estimated residual value exceeds the cost of the equipment. Unearned lease income and initial direct costs incurred are amortized over the related lease term using the interest method. Other revenues such as loss and damage waiver fees, service fees relating to the leases and contracts, and rental revenues are recognized as they are earned.

Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2014, were $15.8 million, an increase of $0.1 million, or 0.8%, from the three months ended June 30, 2013. The overall increase was due to a $0.2 million increase in service contract revenue and a $0.1 million increase in fees and other income, partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease in revenue from leases. The increase in service contract income is due to growth in service contract originations. The decrease in lease revenue is attributed to slightly lower yields, combined with higher direct origination costs. Our direct origination costs have increased due to commission programs and other marketing costs associated with growing our lease portfolio. Our lease yields are impacted by the mix in our portfolio. The following table reflects the change in the mix by comparing our recorded investment in leases as of June 30, 2014, to the investment in leases as of June 30, 2013, classified according to the original score granted by our internally-developed proprietary scoring model:

SG&A expenses increased by $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013. The increase was primarily driven by increases in compensation-related expenses of $145,000 and increases in legal expenses of $60,000.

We maintain an allowance for credit losses on our investment in leases, service contracts and rental contracts at an amount that we believe is sufficient to provide adequate protection against losses in our portfolio. The provision was based on providing a general allowance on leases funded during the period and our analysis of actual and expected losses in our portfolio. Our provision for credit losses decreased by $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease in the provision during the second quarter of 2014 was due to an improvement in the delinquency levels of the lease portfolio. As of June 30, 2013, 11.7% of our investment in leases was over 90 days past due. As of June 30, 2014, 9.6% of our investment in leases was over 90 days past due.

Depreciation and amortization expense consists of depreciation on property and equipment and rental equipment, and the amortization of service contracts. Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated over their expected useful lives. Most of our rental contracts are originated as a result of the renewal provisions of our lease agreements where at the end of lease term, the customer has elected to continue to rent the leased equipment on a month-to-month basis. The rental equipment is recorded at its residual value and depreciated over a term of 12 months. This term represents the estimated life of a previously leased piece of equipment and is based upon our historical experience. In the event the contract terminates prior to the end of the 12 month period, the remaining net book value is expensed. Terminated contracts include buyouts, returns, and write-offs.

Investments in service contracts are amortized over the expected life of the contract. In the event the contract terminates prior to its expected life, the remaining net book value is expensed.

Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment decreased by $7,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013, as certain assets became fully depreciated. Depreciation expense on rentals decreased by $40,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013. Additions to the rental portfolio resulting from completed leases converting to rental are offset by the acceleration of depreciation on rental contracts that are terminated during the period. There were fewer rental contracts terminated during the second quarter of 2014 compared to the second quarter of 2013, resulting in a decrease in rental equipment depreciation for the period. Amortization expense on service contracts increased by $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013, due to an increased level of new service contract originations during the remainder of 2013 and the first half of 2014. The carrying value of our service contracts increased from $1.4 million at June 30, 2013, to $2.6 million at June 30, 2014.

The provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities and any necessary valuation allowance recorded against net deferred tax assets, involves summarizing temporary differences resulting from the different treatment of items, such as leases, for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are recorded on the balance sheet. We must then assess the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income or tax carry-back availability and to the extent we believe recovery is more likely than not, a valuation allowance is unnecessary.

The provision for income taxes increased by $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013. This increase resulted from an increase in our 2014 estimated effective tax rate, along with the $155,000 increase in income before taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013. The effective tax rate increased to 41.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to 40.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2013, primarily due to an increase in the effective state tax rate resulting from the expiration of the Federal bonus tax depreciation regulations at the end of 2013.

It is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits may change significantly within the next 12 months; however, at this time we are unable to estimate the change.

Our federal income tax returns are subject to examination for tax years ended on or after December 31, 2010, and our state income tax returns are subject to examination for tax years ended on or after December 31, 2009. We were recently notified by the Internal Revenue Service that the Company has been selected for an audit of its 2012 federal income tax return. While we do not anticipate any material adjustments resulting from the audit at this time, we are unable to fully assess the risks and exposure at this early stage of the audit.

Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2014, were $31.5 million, an increase of $0.5 million, or 1.7%, from the six months ended June 30, 2013. The overall increase was due to a $0.3 million increase in rental income, a $0.3 million increase in service contract revenue, and a $0.2 million increase in fees and other income, partially offset by a $0.3 million decrease in income on financing leases. The increase in rental income is the result of TimePayment lease contracts coming to term and converting to rentals, partially offset by the attrition of LeaseComm and TimePayment rental contracts. Beginning in the first second quarter of 2012, TimePayment began acquiring service contracts resulting in an increase in service contract revenue. The decrease in lease revenue is attributed to slightly lower yields, combined with higher direct origination costs. Our risk-based scoring model results in higher yields as risk increases. Yields decrease as the initial credit scores for lease originations improve. (See the comparison of our recorded investment in leases shown above.) Our direct origination costs have increased due to commission programs and other marketing costs associated with growing our lease portfolio.

The provision for income taxes increased by $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013. This increase resulted from an increase in our 2014 estimated effective tax rate along with the $80,000 increase in income before taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013. The effective tax rate increased to 42.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to 40.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2013, primarily due to an increase in the effective state tax rate resulting from the expiration of the Federal bonus tax depreciation regulations at the end of 2013.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

For financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts payable, and other liabilities, we believe that the carrying amount approximates fair value due to their short-term nature. The fair value of the revolving line of credit is calculated based on the incremental borrowing rates currently available on loans with similar terms and maturities. In December 2012, we amended our revolving line of credit which resulted in a reduction of the interest rates being charged on the outstanding balance. We have determined that the fair value of our revolving line of credit at June 30, 2014, and at December 31, 2013, approximates its carrying value.

For example, in the case of a rental or service contract, if a receivable is 90 days past due, all amounts billed and unpaid are placed in the over 90 days past due category. In the case of lease receivables, where the minimum contractual obligation of the lessee is booked as a receivable at the inception of the lease, if a receivable is 90 days past due, the entire receivable, including all amounts billed and unpaid as well as the minimum contractual obligation yet to be billed, will be placed in the over 90 days past due category.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

Our lease and finance business is capital-intensive and requires access to substantial short-term and long-term credit to fund lease originations. Since inception, we have funded our operations primarily through borrowings under our credit facilities, on-balance sheet securitizations, the issuance of subordinated debt, cash provided by operating activities and the proceeds from our initial public offering completed in February 1999. We will continue to require significant additional capital to maintain and expand our funding of leases and contracts, as well as to fund any future acquisitions of leasing companies or portfolios. In the near term, we expect to finance our business utilizing cash on hand, cash provided from operating activities and borrowings on our revolving line of credit which matures in December 2016. Additionally, our uses of cash include the payment of interest and principal on borrowings, selling, general and administrative expenses, income taxes, payment of dividends and capital expenditures.

For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, our primary sources of liquidity were cash provided by operating activities and borrowings on our revolving line of credit. We generated cash flow from operations of $47.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $44.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The $2.1 million increase in cash from operations related primarily to a $5.9 million increase in cash received from customers. This increase was partially offset by an increase of $3.3 million in cash paid for taxes and an increase of $0.5 million paid to suppliers and employees.

We used net cash in investing activities of $51.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, and $44.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Investing activities primarily related to the origination of leases with investments in lease and service contracts, direct costs and property and equipment.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, and net cash used in financing activities was $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Financing activities primarily consist of the borrowings and repayments on our revolving line of credit and dividend payments. During the first six months of 2014, we borrowed $77.7 million and repaid $70.0 million on our line of credit. During the same period in 2013, we borrowed $67.2 million and repaid $66.3 million on our line of credit. During the first six months of 2014, we paid dividends of $2.0 million, compared to $1.7 million during the same period in 2013. In addition, we used $0.5 million and $0.7 million during the first six months of 2014 and 2013, respectively, to repurchase our common stock.

At June 30, 2014, we had approximately $80.2 million outstanding under our $150 million revolving credit facility. Our ability to borrow under the line of credit is subject to limitations based on lease eligibility and a borrowing base formula. At June 30, 2014, the qualified lease receivables eligible under the borrowing base computation were approximately $133.1 million, compared to actual borrowings of $80.2 million. As of June 30, 2014, an additional $52.9 million was available to borrow based on eligible lease receivables.

The maturity date of our revolving line of credit is December 2016, at which time the outstanding loan balance plus interest becomes due and payable. At our option upon maturity, the unpaid principal balance may be converted to a six-month term loan.

We believe that cash flows from our existing portfolio, cash on hand, available borrowings to the existing credit facility, and additional financing as required will be sufficient to support our operations and lease origination activity in the near term.

Borrowings

We utilize our revolving line of credit to fund the origination and acquisition of leases that satisfy the eligibility requirements established pursuant to the facility. Borrowings outstanding consisted of the following as of the dates indicated:

 

     June 30, 2014      December 31, 2013  
                         Maximum                          Maximum  
     Amounts      Interest     Unused      Facility      Amounts      Interest     Unused      Facility  
     Outstanding      Rate     Capacity      Amount      Outstanding      Rate     Capacity      Amount  
     (Dollars in Thousands)  

Revolving credit facility (1)

   $  80,243         2.65-4.00   $ 69,757       $ 150,000       $ 72,566         2.74 -4.00   $ 77,434       $ 150,000   

 

(1) The unused capacity is subject to the borrowing base formula, as described above.

We entered into the revolving line of credit in August 2007 with a bank syndicate led by Santander based on qualified TimePayment lease receivables. The total commitment under the facility, originally $30 million, has been increased at various times, most recently in December 2012, from $100 million to $150 million. In addition, the December 2012 amendment permits further increases in the total commitment under an accordion feature, to $175 million, with the agreement of the Agent and, as applicable, a new or existing Lender under certain conditions. Outstanding borrowings are collateralized by eligible lease contracts and a security interest in all of our other assets.

At June 30, 2014, $70.0 million of our loans were LIBOR loans and $10.2 million of our loans were Base Rate Loans. The Base Rate is the highest of the prime rate established by the Agent, or one-month LIBOR plus 1%, or the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5%.

The decision as to the amount and timing of future dividends, if any, will be made in light of our financial condition, capital requirements and growth plans, as well as our external financing arrangements and any other factors our Board of Directors may deem relevant. We can give no assurance as to the amount and timing of future dividends.

Share repurchases

On August 10, 2010, our Board of Directors approved a common stock repurchase program under which we were authorized to purchase up to 250,000 of our outstanding shares from time to time. The repurchases were allowed to take place in either the open market or through block trades. The repurchase program was funded by our working capital. During the first quarter of 2014, we repurchased a total of 66,552 shares of our common stock at an average price per share of $8.07. The total cost of the shares purchased was approximately $536,000. Since the program’s inception, we have repurchased a total of 250,000 shares of our common stock, which represents the total authorized under this program, at a total cost of approximately $1.6 million.

On July 24, 2014, the Board of Directors again authorized a common stock repurchase program under which we are authorized to repurchase up to 250,000 shares of our common stock from time to time. We may repurchase our common stock in open market purchases or in privately negotiated transactions. We will determine the timing and amount of any shares repurchased based on our evaluation of market conditions and other factors. The repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Any repurchased shares will be available for use in connection with our stock plans and for other corporate purposes. The repurchase program will be funded by our working capital.

Lease Commitments

We accept lease applications on a daily basis and have a pipeline of applications that have been approved, where a lease has not been originated. Our commitment to lend does not become binding until all of the steps in the lease origination process have been completed, including but not limited to the receipt of a complete and accurate lease document, all required supporting information and successful verification with the lessee. Since we fund on the same day a lease is successfully verified, we do not have any firm outstanding commitments to lend.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update Number 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The amendments in this Update create Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, including most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. In addition, the amendments supersede the cost guidance in Subtopic 605-35, Revenue Recognition—Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts, and create new Subtopic 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs—Contracts with Customers. In summary, the core principle of Topic 606 is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance in this Update affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards (for example, insurance contracts or lease contracts). The amendments in this Update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We are still evaluating the potential impact of this Update on our results of operations.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The following discussion about our risk management activities includes forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. In the normal course of operations, we also face risks that are either non-financial or non-quantifiable. Such risks principally include credit risk and legal risk, and are not represented in the analysis that follows.

The implicit yield on all of our leases and contracts is on a fixed interest rate basis due to the leases and contracts having scheduled payments that are fixed at the time of origination. When we originate or acquire leases or contracts, we base our pricing in part on the spread we expect to achieve between the implicit yield on each lease or contract and the effective interest rate we expect to incur in financing such lease or contract through our credit facility. Increases in interest rates during the term of each lease or contract could narrow or eliminate the spread, or result in a negative spread.

Given the relatively short average life of our leases and contracts, our philosophy is to maintain a blend of fixed and variable interest rate obligations, whenever feasible, in order to limit our interest rate risk. Based on our assessment of current market conditions, we have determined that the cost associated with obtaining fixed rate debt would exceed the benefits associated with mitigating the current interest rate risk. Accordingly, we currently have no fixed-rate obligations; however our variable interest rate obligations under our revolving line of credit are tied to several LIBOR contracts with varying maturity dates ranging from 30 days to 180 days in duration. As of June 30, 2014, we have $80.2 million of outstanding variable interest rate obligations under our revolving line of credit.

Our revolving line of credit bears interest at rates which fluctuate with changes in the Prime Rate or the LIBOR; therefore, our interest expense is sensitive to changes in market interest rates. The effect of a 10% adverse change in market interest rates, sustained for one year, on our interest expense would be immaterial.

We maintain an investment portfolio in accordance with our investment policy guidelines. The primary objectives of the investment guidelines are to preserve capital, maintain sufficient liquidity to meet our operating needs, and to maximize return. We minimize investment risk by limiting the amount invested in any single security and by focusing on conservative investment choices with short terms and high credit quality standards. We do not use derivative financial instruments or invest for speculative trading purposes. There was no investment activity during 2013 or the first six months of 2014.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to the Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon the evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

Internal control over financial reporting

During the second quarter of our fiscal year ending December 31, 2014, no changes were made in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II - Other Information

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

We are involved from time to time in litigation incidental to the conduct of our business. Although we do not expect that the outcome of any of these matters, individually or collectively, will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations, litigation is inherently unpredictable. Therefore, judgments could be rendered or settlements entered, that could adversely affect our operating results or cash flows in a particular period. We routinely assess all of our litigation and threatened litigation as to the probability of ultimately incurring a liability, and record our best estimate of the ultimate loss in situations where we assess the likelihood of loss as probable.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

For a discussion of the material risks that we face relating to our business, financial performance and industry, as well as other risks that an investor in our common stock may face, see the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and elsewhere in this report are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results.
