           FLEXSHOPPER, INC.
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 and 2013
(Unaudited)

The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2014, the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013 and Consolidated Statements of Changes In Stockholders’ Equity for the three months ended March 31, 2014, and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 have been prepared by us without audit. In the opinion of Management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly in all material respects our financial position as of March 31, 2014, results of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 and cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, and are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

This report should be read in conjunction with our Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

1.  BACKGROUND AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS:
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FlexShopper, Inc. (formerly Anchor Funding Services, Inc. the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, FlexShopper, LLC (“FlexShopper”).

FlexShopper, Inc. is a Delaware holding corporation.  FlexShopper, Inc. has no operations; substantially all operations of the Company are the responsibility of FlexShopper.

The Company decided to concentrate its efforts on the operations of FlexShopper and subsequently on March 6, 2014 the Company signed a non-binding letter of intent with a financial institution to sell substantially all of the operating assets of its wholly owned subsidiary, Anchor Funding Services, LLC (“Anchor”). The sale is expected to be finalized by the middle of May 2014. (See Footnotes 3 and 13) The consolidated statements of operations and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 reflect the historical operations of Anchor as discontinued operations. The 2014 and 2013 consolidated balance sheets contain amounts attributable to Anchor and are classified as discontinued. Accordingly, we have generally presented the notes to our consolidated financial statements on the basis of continuing operations. In addition, unless stated otherwise, any reference to statement of operations items in these financial statements refers to results from continuing operations.

FlexShopper is a North Carolina Limited Liability Company formed in June 2013 that provides certain types of durable goods to consumers on a lease-to-own basis and also provides lease-to-own terms to consumers of third party retailers and e-tailers.  The Company has been generating revenues from this new line of business since December 2013. Management believes that the introduction of FlexShopper's lease-to-own (LTO) programs support broad untapped expansion opportunities within the U.S. consumer e-commerce and retail marketplaces.    FlexShopper  and  its online  LTO  products  provide  consumers the ability  to acquire  durable  goods,   including  electronics,   computers  and  furniture on  an  affordable  payment,  lease  basis. Concurrently,  e-tailers  and  retailers  that  work  with  FlexShopper  may  increase   their  sales  by   utilizing FlexShopper's online channels to connect with consumers that want to acquire products on an LTO basis. The Company  anticipates additional  expenses  of approximately  $350,000 per month or potentially  higher as FlexShopper  implements  its programs  and  continues to build an infrastructure  to support  its revenues and business objectives.  These expenses will be funded by the sale of Anchor and a sale of the Company’s restricted stock. (See Note 13) FlexShopper incurred a net loss of approximately $1,201,000 which is reflected in the statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Anchor is a North Carolina limited liability company. Anchor was formed for the purpose of providing factoring and back office services to businesses located throughout the United States of America.
 
2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation - The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FlexShopper, Inc. and, its wholly owned subsidiary FlexShopper, LLC .  The company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Anchor Funding Services, LLC (“Anchor”) is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations and the consolidated statements of cash flows as discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013.
 
 

 
Estimates – The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Lease Purchase Transaction -The lease purchase transaction is a flexible alternative for consumers to obtain use and enjoyment of brand name merchandise with no long-term obligation. Key features of the lease purchase transaction in our program include:

Brand name merchandise. We offer the ability to acquire on line or in participating retailers well-known brands of home electronics, appliances, computers and/or tablets; and furniture.

Convenient payment drafting. We charge our customers’ bank account or debit card primarily on a weekly basis and will accommodate bi-weekly requests.  Lease payments are generally made in advance and, together with applicable fees, constitute our primary revenue source.

Flexible options to obtain ownership. Ownership of the merchandise generally transfers to the customer if the customer has completed the payments required in the lease purchase agreement generally 52 weeks or exercises the 90 day same as cash early purchase option.

Revenue Recognition - Merchandise is leased to customers pursuant to lease purchase agreements which provide for weekly and bi-weekly lease terms with non-refundable lease payments. Generally the customer has the right to acquire title either through a 90 day same as cash option or through payments of all required lease payments for ownership. Lease revenues  are recognized  in the month they are due on the accrual  basis of accounting.  On a monthly basis, we record an accrual for lease revenues due but not yet received, net of allowances, and a deferral of revenue for lease payments received prior to the month due. Our revenue recognition accounting policy matches the lease revenue  with the corresponding costs, mainly depreciation associated with the leased merchandise.

Lease Merchandise – Lease merchandise is carried at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. The Company depreciates leased merchandise using the straight line method over the applicable agreement period for a consumer to acquire ownership generally twelve months. If a customer does not make payments the remaining book value of the lease merchandise associated with the delinquent accounts is generally charged off to expense on or before the 90th day following the time the account became past due. Depreciation of lease merchandise is included in the cost of lease revenues in the statements of operations.

Intangible Assets - Intangible assets, primarily patent costs, are stated at cost less any accumulated amortization and any provision for impairment. Patent costs are amortized by using the straight line method over the shorter of their legal (20 years) or useful lives from the time they are first available for use.

Cost of Merchandise Sold – Cost of merchandise sold represents the net book value of rental merchandise at the time of sale.

General and Administrative Expenses – General and Administrative expenses include all corporate overhead expenses related to our headquarters such as salaries, payroll taxes and benefits, stock based compensation, occupancy, administrative and other expenses.

Advertising Costs – The Company charges advertising costs to expense as incurred.  Total advertising costs were approximately $35,000 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Earnings per Share (EPS) – Basic net income per share is computed by dividing the net income for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Dilutive earnings per share include the potential impact of dilutive securities, such as convertible preferred stock, stock options and stock warrants.  The dilutive effect of stock options and warrants is computed using the treasury stock method, which assumes the repurchase of common shares at the average market price.

Under the treasury stock method, options and warrants will have a dilutive effect when the average price of common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of options or warrants.  

Also  when  there  is  a  year-to-date  loss  from  operations,  potential  common  shares  are  not included  in  the computation of diluted earnings per share, since they have an anti-dilutive effect.  For the three months ending March 31, 2014 there was a loss from operations.

Stock Based Compensation - The fair value of transactions in which the Company exchanges its equity instruments for employee services (share-based payment transactions) is recognized as an expense in the financial statements as services are performed.

Compensation expense is determined by reference to the fair value of an award on the date of grant and is amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. We have elected to use the Black-Scholes-Merton (BSM) pricing model to determine the fair value of all stock option awards.

See Note 8 to our financial statements for the impact on the operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments – The carrying value of cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and loan payable to officer, due to their short term nature approximate fair value.

Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of highly liquid cash investment funds with original maturities of three months or less when acquired.

Income Taxes – The Company is a “C” corporation for income tax purposes.  In a “C” corporation income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements plus deferred income taxes related to the differences between financial statement and taxable income.

The primary differences between financial statement and taxable income for the Company are as follows:

· Expense related to the issuance of equity instruments
· Use of the reserve method of accounting for bad debts
· Net operating loss carryforwards.

The deferred tax asset represents the future tax return consequences of utilizing these items.   Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation reserve, when management is uncertain if the net deferred tax assets will ever be realized.

The Company applied the provisions of ASC 740-10-50, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, which provides clarification related to the process associated with accounting for uncertain tax positions recognized in our financial statements. The Company applied this guidance to all its tax positions, including tax positions taken and those expected to be taken, under the transition provision of the interpretation.   For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company concluded that it had no material uncertain tax positions.

The Company classifies interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits with interest expense.  Penalties accrued on unrecognized tax benefits are classified with operating expenses.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements –

The FASB amended the Comprehensive Income topic of the ASC in February 2013 with ASU No. 2013-02. The amendment addresses reporting of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. Specifically, the amendment does not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in the financial statements. However, the amendment does require an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, in certain circumstances an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income. The guidance became effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014.  This amendment did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
 
 

 
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, "Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a  Similar Tax  Loss, or  a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists, "  which among other  things,  require an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, to be presented in the financial  statements as a reduction  to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except as denoted within the ASU. The guidance became effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014.  The guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not expected to have a material impact in the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

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

Preferred Stock – The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of $.001 par value preferred stock.  The Company’s Board of Directors determines the rights and preferences of its preferred stock.

On January 31, 2007, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation with the Secretary of State of Delaware.  Effective with this filing, 2,000,000 preferred shares became Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock.  Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock will rank senior to Common Stock.

Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into 5.1 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, subject to certain anti-dilution rights.  The holder of the Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock has the option to convert the shares to Common Stock at any time.  Upon conversion all accumulated and unpaid dividends will be paid as additional shares of Common Stock.

The dividend rate on Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock was 8%.  Dividends were paid between 2007 and 2009 annually on December 31st in the form of additional Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock unless the Board of Directors approved a cash dividend.  Dividends on Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock ceased to accrue on the earlier of December 31, 2009, or on the date they were converted to Common Shares.  Thereafter, the holders of Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock have the same dividend rights as holders of Common Stock, as if the Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock had been converted to Common Stock.

As of March 31, 2014 there were 367,387 shares of Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding.

Common Stock – The Company is authorized to issue 65,000,000 shares of $.0001 par value Common Stock.  Each share of Common Stock entitles the holder to one vote at all stockholder meetings.  Dividends on Common Stock will be determined annually by the Company’s Board of Directors.

Due to the anti-dilution provisions of our Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock, this grant caused an adjustment of our preferred stock into common stock.

The holders of the Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock have the option to convert the shares to Common Stock at any time. See Note 8.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes appearing at the end of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business and related financing, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The “Risk Factors” section of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 should be read for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.

Executive Overview

The results of operations below principally reflect the operations of FlexShopper, LLC which provides certain types of durable goods to consumers on a lease-to-own basis and also provides lease-to-own terms to consumers of third party retailers and e-tailers.  The Company began generating revenues from this new line of business in December 2013.   Management   believes   that the introduction of FlexShopper's Lease-to-own (LTO) programs support broad untapped expansion opportunities within the U.S. consumer e-commerce and retail marketplaces.    FlexShopper  and  its online  LTO  platforms  provide  consumers the ability  to acquire  durable  goods,   including  electronics,   computers  and  furniture on  an  affordable  payment  lease  basis. Concurrently,  e-tailers  and  retailers  that  work  with  FlexShopper  may  increase   their  sales  by   utilizing FlexShopper's online channels to connect with consumers that want to acquire products on an LTO basis. FlexShopper’s sales channels include 1) serving as the financial and technology partner for durable goods retailers and etailers 2) selling directly to consumers via the online FlexShopper LTO Marketplace featuring thousands of durable goods and 3) utilizing FlexShopper’s soon-to be-released, patent pending LTO payment method at check out on e-commerce sites.

On April 30, 2014, Anchor entered into an Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with a Bank, pursuant to which Anchor will sell to the Bank substantially all of its assets (the “Anchor Assets”), consisting primarily of its factoring portfolio (the “Portfolio Accounts”). The purchase price for the Anchor Assets will equal (1) 110% of the total funds outstanding associated with the Portfolio Accounts plus (2) an amount equal to 50% of the factoring fee and interest income earned by the Portfolio Accounts during the 12 month period following acquisition (“Earnout Payments”).  The sale of the Anchor Assets will take place in a series of closings that will take place through May 15, 2014.  In connection with each closing, Anchor shall use the proceeds thereof to pay to Bank all amounts due for factor advances associated with the Portfolio Accounts acquired pursuant to such closing under Anchor’s Rediscount Facility Agreement with the Bank entered into as of November 30, 2011 (the “Rediscount Facility Agreement”).  In accordance with the Purchase Agreement, following the final closing thereunder all obligations of Anchor under the Rediscount Facility Agreement (and the associated Validity Warranty) shall be paid and satisfied in full and such agreement shall be terminated and have no further force and effect.
 
The consolidated statements of operations and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2014 reflect the historical operations of Anchor as discontinued operations. The 2014 consolidated balance sheet contains amounts attributable to Anchor and are classified as discontinued. Accordingly, we have generally presented the notes to our consolidated financial statements on the basis of continuing operations. In addition, unless stated otherwise, any reference to income statement items in these financial statements refers to results from continuing operations.  (See Footnote 3)

Our principal operations are located in Boca Raton, Florida, which includes our sales and marketing functions. We also maintain an office in Charlotte, North Carolina.
 
Summary of Critical Accounting Policies

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

Principles of Consolidation - The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FlexShopper, Inc. and, its wholly owned subsidiary FlexShopper, LLC .  The company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Anchor Funding Services, LLC (“Anchor”) is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations and the consolidated statements of cash flows as discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013.

Estimates – The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 
The Lease Purchase Transaction -The lease purchase transaction is a flexible alternative for consumers to obtain use and enjoyment of brand name merchandise with no long-term obligation. Key features of the lease purchase transaction in our program include:

Brand name merchandise. We offer the ability to acquire on line or in participating retailers well-known brands of home electronics, appliances, computers and/or tablets; and furniture.

Convenient payment drafting. We charge our customers’ bank account or debit card primarily on a weekly basis and will accommodate bi-weekly requests.  Lease payments are generally made in advance and, together with applicable fees, constitute our primary revenue source.

Flexible options to obtain ownership. Ownership of the merchandise generally transfers to the customer if the customer has completed the payments required in the lease purchase agreement generally 52 weeks or exercises the 90 day same as cash early purchase option.
 
Revenue Recognition - Merchandise is leased to customers pursuant to lease purchase agreements which provide for weekly lease terms with non-refundable lease payments. Generally the customer has the right to acquire title either through a 90 day same as cash plus a nominal fee option or through payments of all required lease payments for ownership in accordance with the lease agreement. Lease revenues  are recognized  in the month they are due on the accrual  basis of accounting. On a monthly basis, we record an accrual for lease revenues due but not yet received, net of allowances, and a deferral of revenue for lease payments received prior to the month due. Our revenue recognition accounting policy matches the lease revenue  with the corresponding costs, mainly depreciation, associated with the leased merchandise.

Lease Merchandise – Lease merchandise is carried at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. The Company depreciates leased merchandise using the straight line method over the applicable agreement period for a consumer to acquire ownership generally twelve months. If a customer does not make payments the remaining book value of the lease merchandise associated with the delinquent accounts is generally charged off to expense on or before the 90th day following the time the account became past due. Depreciation of lease merchandise is included in the cost of lease revenues in the statement of operations.

Intangible Assets - Intangible assets, primarily patent costs, are stated at cost less any accumulated amortization and any provision for impairment. Patent costs are amortized by using the straight line method over the shorter of their legal (20 years) or useful lives from the time they are first available for use.

Cost of Merchandise Sold – Cost of merchandise sold represents the net book value of lease merchandise at the time of sale.

General and Administrative Expenses – General and Administrative expenses include all corporate overhead expenses related to our headquarters such as salaries, payroll taxes and benefits, stock based compensation, occupancy, administrative and other expenses.

Advertising Costs – The Company charges advertising costs to expense as incurred.  Total advertising costs were approximately $35,000 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Earnings per Share (EPS) – Basic net income per share is computed by dividing the net income for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Dilutive earnings per share include the potential impact of dilutive securities, such as convertible preferred stock, stock options and stock warrants.  The dilutive effect of stock options and warrants is computed using the treasury stock method, which assumes the repurchase of common shares at the average market price.

Under the treasury stock method, options and warrants will have a dilutive effect when the average price of common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of options or warrants.  

Also  when  there  is  a  year-to-date  loss  from  operations,  potential  common  shares  are  not included  in  the computation of diluted earnings per share, since they have an anti-dilutive effect.  For the three months ending March 31, 2014 there was a loss from operations.

Stock Based Compensation - The fair value of transactions in which the Company exchanges its equity instruments for employee services (share-based payment transactions) is recognized as an expense in the financial statements as services are performed.

Compensation expense is determined by reference to the fair value of an award on the date of grant and is amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. We have elected to use the Black-Scholes-Merton (BSM) pricing model to determine the fair value of all stock option awards.

See Note 8 to our financial statements for the impact on the operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.
 
 

 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments – The carrying value of cash equivalents, retained interest in purchased accounts receivable, due to financial institution, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates their fair value.

Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of highly liquid cash investment funds with original maturities of three months or less when acquired.

Income Taxes – The Company is a “C” corporation for income tax purposes.  In a “C” corporation income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements plus deferred income taxes related to the differences between financial statement and taxable income.

The primary differences between financial statement and taxable income for the Company are as follows:

· Expense related to the issuance of equity instruments
· Use of the reserve method of accounting for bad debts
· Net operating loss carryforwards.

The deferred tax asset represents the future tax return consequences of utilizing these items.   Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation reserve, when management is uncertain if the net deferred tax assets will ever be realized.

The Company applied the provisions of ASC 740-10-50, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, which provides clarification related to the process associated with accounting for uncertain tax positions recognized in our financial statements. The Company applied this guidance to all its tax positions, including tax positions taken and those expected to be taken, under the transition provision of the interpretation.   For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company concluded that it had no material uncertain tax positions.

The Company classifies interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits with interest expense.  Penalties accrued on unrecognized tax benefits are classified with operating expenses.

Sale of Anchor

On April 30, 2014, Anchor entered into an Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with a Bank, pursuant to which Anchor agreed to sell to the Bank substantially all of its assets consisting primarily of its factoring portfolio.

Plan of Operation

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

For each sales channel FlexShopper has a marketing strategy that includes but is not limited to the following:

Online LTO Marketplace targeting consumers:
 
·
Direct mail
 
·
Search engine optimization; pay-per click
 
·
Online affiliate networks
 
·
Radio and television campaigns

Patent pending LTO Payment Method targeting durable goods e-tailers:
 
·
Direct to e-tailers of durable goods
 
·
Partnerships with e-commerce payment aggregators

Technology and LTO Funding Source targeting durable goods retailers:
 
·
Telemarketing to independent, regional and national retailers
 
·
Outside sales representatives canvassing key metropolitan markets and soliciting independent regional and national retailers

Management is anticipating a rapid development of our FlexShopper business over the next two years as we are able to penetrate each of our sales channels. To support our anticipated growth, the Company will need the availability of substantial capital resources on terms satisfactory to the Company. As of the filing date of this Form 10-Q, the Company has completed or is seeking to complete the following transactions, each of which has provided or is expected to provide immediate liquidity and cash resources to the Company.

1.  
A private placement offering of up to $8 million through the sale of its restricted Common Stock. Pursuant to the terms of the Offering, the Company has the right to increase the maximum offering to $9.6 million.

2.  
The sale of certain assets of Anchor Funding Services through an Asset Purchase Agreement.

3.  
The receipt of $1 million in funding from George Rubin and Morry F. Rubin through the funding of promissory notes in like principal amount and the conversion of these notes into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $.55 per share.

It is expected that the funds derived from the sale of the Company’s Common Stock in the transactions described above and from the sale of Anchor’s factoring operations will provide substantial liquidity and capital resources for the Company to purchase durable goods pursuant to lease-to-own transactions and to support the Company’s current general working capital needs. However, as the FlexShopper business grows, the Company will need to obtain additional financing from the sale of its equity or debt securities to support its growth over the next 12 – 15 months.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate risk associated with our short term money market investments. The Company does not have any financial instruments held for trading or other speculative purposes and does not invest in derivative financial instruments, interest rate swaps or other investments that alter interest rate exposure. The Company does not have any credit facilities with variable interest rates.
 
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based closely on the definition of "disclosure controls and procedures" in Rule 13a-15(e). In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and the Company's Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level at the end of our most recent quarter. There have been no changes in the Company's disclosure controls and procedures or in other factors that could affect the disclosure controls subsequent to the date the Company completed its evaluation. Therefore, no corrective actions were taken.

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

 
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
 
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS:
 
We are not a party to any pending material legal proceedings except as described in Note 12 of the financial statements. To our knowledge, no governmental authority is contemplating commencing a legal proceeding in which we would be named as a party.

On October 22, 2010, Anchor filed a complaint in the Superior Court of Stamford/Norwalk, Connecticut against the Administrators of the Estate of David Harvey (“Harvey”) to recoup a credit loss incurred by the Company’s former subsidiary, Brookridge Funding Services, LLC.  Harvey was the owner of a Company that caused the credit loss and the Company is pursuing its rights under the personal guarantee that Harvey provided.  The Complaint is demanding principal of approximately $485,000 plus interest and damages. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, there were no current developments involving the current legal proceeding.

As of March 31, 2014, Anchor was owed $175,000 from a Food Service Company from whom Anchor had purchased invoices. In July 2013, Anchor determined that the Food Service Company had misdirected certain payments due to Anchor, and Anchor ceased funding this client. On August 8, 2013, the Food Service Company filed Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. At the time of the bankruptcy filing, Anchor's total funding employed to the Food Service Company was approximately $1,450,000. Under a Court Order approved settlement with the Food Service Company, Anchor collected approximately $1,153,000 of the Food Service Company’s accounts receivable through December 31, 2013, leaving a remaining balance of $503,500. Subsequent to September 30, 2013, Anchor was paid an additional $203,500; by Court Order, the final balance of $300,000 is to be paid to Anchor in twelve monthly installments of $25,000 beginning November 8, 2013.
