IEG HOLDINGS CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2015

 

1.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

General

 

The quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014, contained in the Company’s prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), as amended, dated August 28, 2015. As contemplated by the SEC under Article 8 of Regulation S-X, the accompanying financial statements and footnotes have been condensed and therefore do not contain all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. The interim financial data are unaudited, however in the opinion of IEG Holdings Corporation (“we, “our”, “us”) the interim data includes all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods. Results of interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those to be expected for the full year.

 

Nature of Business

 

The principal business activity of the Company is providing unsecured $5,000 consumer loans over a five-year term through its subsidiaries Investment Evolution Corporation and IEC SPV, LLC. The loans are offered under the consumer brand “Mr. Amazing Loans”. The Company is headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada and originates consumer loans in the states of Alabama, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah, and Virginia via its online platform and distribution network. The Company is a licensed direct lender with state licenses and/or certificates of authority to lend in these 16 states and offers all loans within the prevailing statutory rates.

 

Basis of Accounting

 

These consolidated financial statements include the operations of IEG Holdings Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Investment Evolution Corporation and IEC SPV, LLC (collectively, the “Company”). All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

In August 2015, the Company dissolved redundant subsidiary companies Investment Evolution Philippines Corporation, Investment Evolution Global Corporation and Investment Evolution Canada, LLC, as it no longer has plans to pursue international expansion.

 

The Company’s accounting and reporting policies are in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and conform to general practices within the consumer finance industry.

 

Going Concern

 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has reported recurring losses and has not generated positive net cash flows from operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is increasing its revenue and management intends to seek additional capital sufficient to continue operations. If the Company is not successful in raising sufficient capital, it may have to delay or reduce expenses, or curtail operations. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that could result should the Company not continue as a going concern.

 

Use of 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 and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Management uses its historical records and knowledge of its business in making these estimates. Accordingly, actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers cash equivalents to include short-term, highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less.

 

 

Loans Receivable and Interest Income

 

The Company is licensed to originate consumer loans in the states of Alabama, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah, and Virginia. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company originated $5,000 and $10,000 loans over a five-year term and during the nine months ended September 30 2014, the Company originated $2,000, $3,000, $5,000 and $10,000 loans with terms ranging from three to five years. In June 2015, the Company streamlined its product offering to $5,000 loans over a five-year term. The Company offers its loans at or below the prevailing statutory rates. Loans are carried at the unpaid principal amount outstanding, net of an allowance for credit losses.

 

The Company calculates interest revenue using the interest yield method. Charges for late payments are credited to income when collected.

 

Accrual of interest income on loans receivable is suspended when no payment has been received on account for 60 days or more on a contractual basis, at which time a loan is considered delinquent. Payments received on nonaccrual financing loans are first applied to the unpaid accrued interest and then principal. Loans are returned to active status and accrual of interest income is resumed when all of the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current; at which time management believes future payments are reasonably assured. At September 30, 2015, 98 loans with a total balance of $448,939 were delinquent.

 

Allowance for Credit Losses

 

The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses due to the fact that it is probable that a portion of the loans receivable will not be collected. The allowance is estimated by management based on various factors, including specific circumstances of the individual loans, management’s knowledge of the industry, and the experience and trends of other companies in the same industry.

 

Our portfolio of loans receivable consists of a large number of relatively small, homogenous accounts. The allowance for credit losses is determined using a systematic methodology, based on a combination of historical bad debt of comparable companies. Impaired loans are considered separately and 100% charged off.

 

The allowance for credit losses is primarily based upon models that analyze specific portfolio statistics and also reflect, management’s judgment regarding overall accuracy. We take into account several factors, including the customer’s transaction history, specifically the timeliness of customer payments, the remaining contractual term of the loan, and the outstanding balance of the loan.

 

Impaired Loans

 

The Company assesses loans for impairment individually when a loan is 90 days past due. The Company defines impaired loans as bankrupt accounts and accounts that are 184 days or more past due. In accordance with the Company’s charge-off policy, once a loan is deemed uncollectible, 100% of the remaining balance is charged-off. Loans can also be charged off when deemed uncollectable due to consumer specific circumstances.

The Company does not accrue interest on impaired loans and any recoveries of impaired loans are recorded to the allowance for credit losses. Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded as operating expenses in the accompanying statement of operations.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are being provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

 

Classification		Life
Computer equipment		3-5 years
Furniture and fixtures		8 years

 

The Company amortizes its leasehold improvements over the shorter of their economic lives, which are generally five years, or the lease term that considers renewal periods that are reasonably assured. Expenses for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred, while renewals and betterments are capitalized. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in the consolidated statement of operations.

 

 

Operating Leases

 

The Company’s office leases all expire (unless renewed) during 2016.

 

Loan Costs

 

Loan costs consisted of broker success fees and legal fees related to the credit facility. These costs were amortized over the period of the credit facility. Accumulated amortization of loan costs amounted to $127,704 at December 31, 2014. The loan costs were fully amortized at September 30, 2015 as the credit facility was repaid in full on August 21, 2015.

 

Income Taxes

 

We account for income taxes using the liability method in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740 “Income Taxes”. To date, no current income tax liability has been recorded due to our accumulated net losses. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the amounts that are reported in the income tax returns. Our net deferred income tax assets have been fully reserved by a valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of our ability to realize future taxable income and to recover our net deferred income tax assets.

 

Advertising Costs

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs amounted to $527,452 and $288,539 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Advertising costs amounted to $211,828 and $142,787 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

 

Earnings and Loss per Share

 

The Company computes net earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260-10 that establishes standards for computing and presenting net earnings (loss) per shares. Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares, if any, had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Basic and diluted loss per share has been adjusted retroactively for the 100-for-1 reverse split that occurred on June 17, 2015.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain numbers from the prior period have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for receivables, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of their immediate or short-term nature. The fair value of borrowings is not considered to be significantly different than its carrying amount because the stated rates for such debt reflect current market rates and conditions.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, interest revenue increased to $1,298,112, compared to $237,519 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

This increase is attributable to the increase in customer acquisition costs incurred to grow the loan book, including online advertising, direct mail, and lead generation costs.

 

 

Rent Expense

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, rent expense decreased to $187,975, compared to $192,189 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The minimal movement was in line with expectations.

 

Travel, Meals and Entertainment

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, travel, meals and entertainment expenses decreased to $101,628, compared to $287,373 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Travel, meals and entertainment expenses include corporate travel for meetings and investor presentations, as well as other investor related expenses. The decrease is attributable to a number of prior year expenses being submitted and reimbursed at June 30, 2014.

 

Depreciation and Amortization

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, depreciation and amortization marginally increased to $12,207, compared to $11,530 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The minimal movement was in line with expectations.

 

Interest Expense

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, interest expense increased to $596,452, compared to $433,681 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The increase is due to interest paid on working capital loans and preferred stock deposits.

 

Three Months Ended September 30, 2015 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2014

 

Interest Revenue

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2015, interest revenue increased to $520,373, compared to $144,059 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. This increase due to the significant growth in our interest-earning loan book of consumer receivables. We expect our interest revenue to grow significantly in future periods as we continue to grow our loan book.

 

Other Revenue

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2015, other revenue increased to $19,494, compared to $1,100 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Other revenue consisted of decline lead revenue, late/dishonor fees, loss recovery and stock application/processing fees. The increase was attributable to increased decline lead revenue through improved decline lead monetization processes.

 

Salaries and Wages Expenses

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2015, salaries and wages expenses decreased to $718,532, compared to $914,610 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower bonus costs in the period.

 

Other Operating Expenses

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2015, other operating expenses increased to $329,441, compared to $222,624 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The increase was attributable to the higher costs associated with a significantly higher volume of loan applications to process and larger loan book to service.

 

Consulting Fees

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2015, consulting fees increased to $282,189, compared to $88,955 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The increase was attributable to timing of capital raising fees incurred with significant new equity being raised in the period.

 

Provision for Credit Losses

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2015, the provision for credit losses expense increased to $213,611, compared to $142,182 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. We carry a provision for credit losses which is estimated collectively based on our loan portfolio and general economic conditions. The increase in provision for credit losses from prior year was due to the significantly larger loans receivable outstanding balance of $7,695,184 at September 30, 2015 compared to loans receivable outstanding of $2,849,114 at September 30, 2014.

 

 

Advertising

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2015, advertising expenses increased to $211,828, compared to $142,787 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The increase was attributable to the increase in customer acquisition costs incurred to grow the loan book, including online advertising, direct mail, and lead generation costs.

 

Rent Expense

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2015, rent expense marginally decreased to $57,372, compared to $69,404 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The minimal movement was in line with expectations.

 

Travel, Meals and Entertainment

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2015, travel, meals and entertainment expenses decreased to $25,718, compared to $32,023 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Travel, meals and entertainment expenses include corporate travel for meetings and investor presentations, as well as other investor related expenses. The minimal movement was in line with expectations.

 

Depreciation and Amortization

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2015, depreciation and amortization marginally increased to $4,192, compared to $3,746 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The minimal movement was in line with expectations.

 

Interest Expense

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2015, interest expense decreased to $122,225, compared to $199,986 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease is due to repayment of BFG loan facility in August 2015.

 

Financial Position

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

We had cash and cash equivalents of $1,697,982 as of September 30, 2015, compared to $433,712 as of December 31, 2014. The increase was due to significant capital raising of both common and preferred shares.

 

Loans Receivable

 

We had net loan receivables of $6,760,219 as of September 30, 2015, as compared to $4,316,316 as of December 31, 2014. The increase was due to our continued growth in loan originations.

 

Other Receivables

 

We had other receivables of $106,955 as of September 30, 2015, as compared to $25,882 as of December 31, 2014. Other receivables comprised outstanding invoices for decline lead revenue due from marketing partners and accrued interest receivable on our consumer loans at September 30, 2015. The increase in other receivables is primarily due to the increase in accrued interest receivable due to our significantly larger loan book.

 

Property and Equipment

 

We had net property and equipment of $43,010 as of September 30, 2015 as compared to $36,100 as of December 31, 2014. The minimal movement was in line with expectations.

 

Loan Costs

 

Our net loan costs decreased from $77,781 as of December 31, 2014 to $0 as of September 30, 2015 due to the full amortization of capitalized loan cost upon the full repayment of the BFG loan facility in August 2015.

 

Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses

 

We had accounts payable and accrued expenses of $48,437 as of September 30, 2015, compared to $172,139 as of December 31, 2014. The decrease was due to management’s decision to pay a number of September expenses in full in the current period so no accrual required.

 

 

CEO Accrued Wages

 

We had CEO accrued wages of $0 as of September 30, 2015, compared to $106,588 as of December 31, 2014. The reduction in accrued wages is due to CEO wages being paid in full in the current period and so no accrual required.

 

Senior Debt

 

We had senior debt of $0 as of September 30, 2015 and $2,230,000 as of December 31, 2014. This senior debt comprised advances from our $10 million revolving facility. This credit facility was converted into a term loan in July 2015 and was fully repaid on August 21, 2015.

 

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We continue to incur operating expenses in excess of net revenue and will require capital infusions to sustain our operations until operating results improve. We may not be able to obtain such capital in a timely manner and as a result may incur liquidity imbalances.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We used cash in operations of $2,948,727 during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $2,639,399 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, and this increase is in line with expectations due to the continued growth or our loan book and associated higher operating expenses. We used net cash from investing activities of $3,256,639 during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $2,838,994 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The increase in cash used in investing activities is primarily due to an increase in loans receivable originated.

 

We were provided $7,469,636 of net cash from financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $7,563,822 during the same period in 2014. The funds were attributable to proceeds from preferred stock and proceeds from common stock received in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and was a minimal change from the corresponding period in 2014.

 

At September 30, 2015, we had cash on hand of $1,697,982, which is not sufficient to meet our operating needs for the next 12 months. We plan to continue to raise the required capital to meet our operating needs via equity capital raisings.

 

The credit facility is also subject to a net profit interest under which the Company will pay BFG Loan Holdings, LLC, 20% of its subsidiary IEC SPV, LLC’s “Net Profit” until 10 years from the date the loan was repaid in full. Net Profit is defined as the gross revenue less (i) interest paid on the loan, (ii) payments on any other debt incurred as a result of an approved Refinance Event, (iii) any costs, fees or commissions paid on the existing credit facility, and (iv) charge-offs to bad debt resulting from consumer loans. If the Refinance event shall be approved by BFG Loan Holdings, LLC and occur as set forth in the agreement, the net profit percentage shall be reduced to 10%. The Net Profit arrangement can be terminated by the Company upon a payment of $3,000,000. Net profit interest for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was $69,297 and 0 respectively.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of September 30, 2015, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. The term “off-balance sheet arrangement” generally means any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement to which an entity unconsolidated with us is a party, under which we have any obligation arising under a guarantee contract, derivative instrument or variable interest or a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to such entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support for such assets.

 

Going Concern

 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has reported recurring losses and has not generated positive net cash flows from operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is increasing its revenue and management intends to seek additional capital sufficient to continue operations. If the Company is not successful in raising sufficient capital, it may have to delay or reduce expenses, or curtail operations. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that could result should the Company not continue as a going concern.

 

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

We have identified the following policies below as critical to our business and results of operations. Our reported results are impacted by the application of the following accounting policies, certain of which require management to make subjective or complex judgments. These judgments involve making estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may significantly impact quarterly or annual results of operations. For all of these policies, management cautions that future events rarely develop exactly as expected, and the best estimates routinely require adjustment. Specific risks associated with these critical accounting policies are described in the following paragraphs.

 

Use of 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 and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Management uses its historical records and knowledge of its business in making these estimates. Accordingly, actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

Loans Receivable and Interest Income

 

The Company offers its loans at or below the prevailing statutory rates. Loans are carried at the unpaid principal amount outstanding, net of an allowance for credit losses.

 

The Company calculates interest revenue using the interest yield method. Charges for late payments are credited to income when collected.

 

Accrual of interest income on loans receivable is suspended when no payment has been received on account for 60 days or more on a contractual basis, at which time a loan is considered delinquent. Payments received on nonaccrual financing loans are first applied to the unpaid accrued interest and then principal. Loans are returned to active status and accrual of interest income is resumed when all of the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current; at which time management believes future payments are reasonably assured. At September 30, 2015, 98 loans with a total balance of $448,939 were delinquent.

 

Allowance for Credit Losses

 

The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses due to the fact that it is probable that a portion of the loans receivable will not be collected. The allowance is estimated by management based on various factors, including specific circumstances of the individual loans, management’s knowledge of the industry, and the experience and trends of other companies in the same industry.

 

Our portfolio of loans receivable consists of a large number of relatively small, homogenous accounts. The allowance for credit losses is determined using a systematic methodology, based on a combination of historical bad debt of comparable companies and industry index. Impaired loans are considered separately and 100% charged off.

 

The allowance for credit losses is primarily based upon models that analyze specific portfolio statistics and also reflect, management’s judgment regarding overall accuracy. We take into account several factors, including the customer’s transaction history, specifically the timeliness of customer payments, the remaining contractual term of the loan, and the outstanding balance of the loan.

 

Impaired Loans

 

The Company assesses loans for impairment individually when a loan is 90 days past due. The Company defines impaired loans as bankrupt accounts and accounts that are 184 days or more past due. In accordance with the Company’s charge-off policy, once a loan is deemed uncollectible, 100% of the remaining balance is charged-off. Loans can also be charged off when deemed uncollectable due to consumer specific circumstances.

 

The Company does not accrue interest on impaired loans and any recoveries of impaired loans are recorded to the allowance for credit losses. Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded as operating expenses in the accompanying statement of operations.

 

Income Taxes

 

We account for income taxes using the liability method in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740 “Income Taxes”. To date, no current income tax liability has been recorded due to our accumulated net losses. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the amounts that are reported in the income tax returns. Our net deferred income tax assets have been fully reserved by a valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of our ability to realize future taxable income and to recover our net deferred income tax assets.

 

 

Earnings and loss per Share

 

The Company computes net earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260-10 that establishes standards for computing and presenting net earnings (loss) per shares. Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares, if any, had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for receivables, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of their immediate or short-term nature. The fair value of borrowings is not considered to be significantly different than its carrying amount because the stated rates for such debt reflect current market rates and conditions.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The recent accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15 of the Exchange Act that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
