1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

General

 

The quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016, contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 8, 2017. 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 and $10,000 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, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, Ohio, 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 19 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.

 

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.

 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect any possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities.

 

Liquidity

 

The principal conditions/events that raise substantial doubt about the company’s ability to meet its obligations are i) the Company has reported recurring losses and ii) the Company has not yet generated positive net cash flows from operations. However, the Company has significantly reduced its core operating expenses. In addition, cash in bank increased during the quarter, resulting from substantial positive net cash flows from investing activities. Management has evaluated the result of their plans for the next 12 months and as a result of the plans, the Company can meet all its obligations at least through May 2018. However, the Company intends, over the next 12 months, to seek additional capital to expand operations. Management has no intentions to repurchase a significant number of shares under the approved stock repurchase program unless additional capital has been secured.

 

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 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 91 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 March 31, 2017, 103 loans with a total balance of $454,452 were delinquent or in default.

 

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 91 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 uncollectible 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  5 years
Furniture and fixtures  5-8 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 Lease

 

The Company’s office lease in Las Vegas expires (unless renewed) on September 30, 2017.

Income Taxes

 

We account for income taxes using the liability method in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“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 $880 and $47,824 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, 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) attributed to common shareholders 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 net 1-for-10 reverse split that occurred on October 27, 2016.

 

Reclassifications

 

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

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company has adopted guidance issued by the FASB that defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with existing generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. The categories are as follows:

 

  Level I – Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurement date.
     
  Level II – Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level I that are observable for the asset or liability through corroboration with market data at the measurement date.
     
  Level III – Unobservable inputs that reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.

 

The following table summarizes fair value measurements by level at March 31, 2017 for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

 

  Level I   Level II   Level III   Total 
Cash  $446,632           $446,632 
Loans receivable, net  $         5,808,029   $5,808,029 

 

The following table summarizes fair value measurements by level at December 31, 2016 for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

 

  Level I   Level II   Level III   Total 
Cash  $322,441           $322,441 
Loans receivable, net  $         6,374,908    6,374,908 

 

Loans receivable are carried net of the allowance for credit losses, which is estimated by applying historical loss rates of our portfolio and of other companies’ portfolios in the same industry with recent default trends to the gross loans receivable balance. The unobservable inputs used to calculate the fair value of these loans include historical loss rates, recent default trends and estimated remaining loan terms. Therefore, the carrying value of the loans receivable approximates the fair value.

Carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for other 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

 

Recently Issued or Newly Adopted Accounting Standards

In August 2014, the FASB issued FASB ASU2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. FASB ASU 2014-15 changes to the disclosure of uncertainties about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. These changes require an entity’s management to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that financial statements are issued. Substantial doubt is defined as an indication that it is probable that an entity will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that financial statements are issued. If management has concluded that substantial doubt exists, then the following disclosures should be made in the financial statements: (i) principal conditions or events that raised the substantial doubt, (ii) management’s evaluation of the significance of those conditions or events in relation to the entity’s ability to meet its obligations, (iii) management’s plans that alleviated the initial substantial doubt or, if substantial doubt was not alleviated, management’s plans that are intended to at least mitigate the conditions or events that raise substantial doubt, and (iv) if the latter in (iii) is disclosed, an explicit statement that there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. These changes became effective for the Company for the 2016 annual period. Our adoption of these changes have no material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740). The amendments in ASU 2015-17 change the requirements for the classification of deferred taxes on the balance sheet. Currently, GAAP requires an entity to separate deferred income tax liabilities and assets into current and noncurrent amounts in a classified statement of financial position. To simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes, the amendments in this ASU require that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Adoption of these changes have no material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The update intends to enhance the reporting model for financial instruments to provide users of financial statements with more decision-useful information and addresses certain aspects of the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. The new standard affects all entities that hold financial assets or owe financial liabilities. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is evaluating the impact of the adoption of these changes will have on the consolidated financial statements.

4. SENIOR DEBT

 

On August 21, 2015, we, through certain of our wholly owned subsidiaries, repaid the entire balance of principal and accrued interest under the Loan and Security Agreement, as amended (the “Loan Agreement”), among BFG and certain of our wholly owned subsidiaries. As a result, there is currently no outstanding balance under the Loan Agreement. However, the Loan Agreement continues in effect and we are subject to a net profit interest under which we are required to pay BFG 20% of the “Net Profit” of its subsidiary, IEC SPV, LLC, until 10 years from the date the loan is repaid in full (August 2015). 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 refinancing the loan through a third party, as provided in the Loan Agreement, (iii) any costs, fees or commissions paid on the existing credit facility, and (iv) charge-offs to bad debt resulting from consumer loans and reduced by servicing fee. The Net Profit arrangement can be terminated by us upon a payment of $3,000,000 to BFG. Net profit interest for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 were $18,577 and $7,988, respectively. All loans receivable of the Company were pledged as collateral at March 31, 2017 for the fulfillment of the Net Profit calculation.

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

 

Overview

 

We are a consumer finance company providing responsible online personal loan products to customers in 19 states via our website and online application portal. We provide unsecured loans to individuals. Our $5,000 and $10,000 online personal loans range from 19.9% to 29.9% APR and all are unsecured over a five-year term. We have a 6.5-year track record of origination, underwriting and servicing of personal loans to underbanked consumers. We leverage our experience and knowledge in the consumer finance industry to achieve a meaningful return on our investment in the loan portfolio. We plan to expand our state coverage in 2017 by obtaining state lending licenses in an additional six states, increasing our coverage to 25 states.

 

We have the ability to finance our businesses from a diversified source of capital and funding, including financings in the capital markets. During 2016, we demonstrated the ability to attract capital markets funding for our core personal loans by completing private placements of common stock and preferred stock.

 

We operate in one business segment: Consumer Loans.

 

Recent Developments

 

On January 5, 2017, we commenced a tender offer to purchase up to all outstanding shares of common stock of OneMain Holdings Inc., a NYSE-listed company (“OneMain”); provided, however, that we were willing to accept any number of shares of OneMain common stock, even if such shares, in the aggregate, constitute less than a majority of OneMain’s outstanding common stock. The OneMain tender offer was scheduled to expire at 12:00 a.m., Eastern time, on February 6, 2017, unless extended. On February 7, 2017, we extended the OneMain tender offer such that it was to expire at 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on March 27, 2017, unless extended or earlier terminated. On March 27, 2017, we extended the OneMain tender offer such that it will expire at 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on Friday, May 5, 2017. In addition, we revised the offer such that we are offering to exchange 20 shares of our common stock for each share of OneMain’s common stock, up to an aggregate of 6,747,723 shares of OneMain common stock, representing approximately 4.99% of OneMain’s outstanding shares as of March 31, 2017, validly tendered and not properly withdrawn in the offer. Complete terms and conditions of the OneMain tender offer are set forth in the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO and in the registration statement on Form S-4, each of which we originally filed with the SEC on January 5, 2017, and each of which as may be amended. This description and other information in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q regarding the OneMain tender offer is included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q solely for informational purposes. Nothing in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be construed as an offer to sell, nor the solicitation of an offer to buy, any shares in connection with the OneMain tender offer.

 

In January 2017, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program authorizing the open market repurchase of up to $2,000,000 of our common stock for the following reasons:

 

  The stock repurchase program permits the Company to purchase shares of its common stock from time to time at prices that are below what the Board believes to be the true value of the shares.
     
  The Company’s common stock is trading at close to record low prices.
     
  The stock repurchase program reflects the commitment of our Board of Directors to enhance stockholder value and its confidence in our long-term growth prospects.
     
  The Board believes the stock repurchase program is a strategic investment and an appropriate use of corporate funds.
     
  Any repurchases will only be effected to the extent that they do not impair the Company’s capital or the Company’s ability to pay its debts.
     
  The Company has available liquidity from existing customer loan repayments to be able to both reinvest in new customer loans and also to strategically invest back into our company via stock repurchases.
     
  The stock repurchase program will assist in improving stock liquidity and ensuring a more orderly and less volatile market for a relatively small outlay of cash.
     
  No purchases are required and the $2,000,000 cap on the stock repurchase program is relatively low.
     
  Management has no intention to repurchase a significant number of shares unless additional capital has been secured.

 

Purchases under the program are authorized through December 31, 2017. No shares will be repurchased under the program until the OneMain tender offer has closed or has been terminated.

In December 2016, we launched a private offering of up to $10 million aggregate principal amount of our 12% senior unsecured notes due December 31, 2026 (the “Notes”), on a self-underwritten basis. The Notes offering was terminated in May 2017. No Notes were sold in the offering.

 

Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2016

 

Interest Revenue

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, interest revenue decreased to $450,729, compared to $512,792 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. This decrease was due to the decreased average interest-earning loan book size of consumer receivables during the period.

 

Other Revenue

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, other revenue increased to $16,654, compared to $12,180 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Other revenue consisted of declined lead revenue and loss recovery. The increase was attributable to an increase in loss recovery.

 

Salaries and Compensation Expenses

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, salaries and compensation expenses decreased to $120,278, compared to $403,006 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease was primarily attributable to the decrease in the CEO’s annual base salary to $1 effective January 1, 2017.

 

Other Operating Expenses

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, other operating expenses decreased to $115,204, compared to $181,857 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease was attributable to the lower underwriting costs and client service costs due to reduced new loan volume in the current period.

 

Provision for Credit Losses

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, the provision for credit losses expense decreased to $224,488, compared to $387,519 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. We carry a provision for credit losses which is estimated collectively based on our loan portfolio and general economic conditions. The decrease in provision for credit losses from the prior year period was due to the decrease in our loan portfolio as of March 31, 2017.

 

Advertising

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, advertising expenses decreased to $880, compared to $47,824 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease was attributable to the reduction in customer acquisition costs incurred, including online advertising, direct mail, and lead generation costs in the current period.

 

Rent Expense

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, rent expense decreased to $16,817, compared to $54,687 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease was due to termination of Florida, Illinois and Arizona leases in 2016.

 

Public Company and Corporate Finance Expenses

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, public company and corporate finance expenses increased to $498,191, compared to $409,919 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase was due to the significant one-off costs incurred related to the OneMain tender offer net of the decrease in investor/financing costs incurred resulting from no capital raises in Q1 2017 in the three months ended March 31, 2017.

 

Depreciation and Amortization

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, depreciation and amortization marginally decreased to $1,573, compared to $1,916 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The minimal movement was in line with expectations.

Financial Position

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

We had cash and cash equivalents of $446,632 as of March 31, 2017, compared to $322,441 as of December 31, 2016. The increase was due to less net cash used in operating activities due to operational cost cuts and higher net cash provided by investing activities due to less loans receivable originated.

 

Loans Receivable

 

We had net loan receivables of $5,808,029 as of March 31, 2017, as compared to $6,374,908 as of December 31, 2016. The decrease was due to lower loan originations in the current period versus repayment of loan principal by customers.

 

Other Receivables

 

We had other receivables of $72,909 as of March 31, 2017, as compared to $84,851 as of December 31, 2016. Other receivables was comprised of outstanding invoices for declined lead revenue due from marketing partners and accrued interest receivable on our consumer loans at March 31, 2017. The decrease in other receivables is primarily due to the decrease in accrued interest receivable for the current period.

 

Property and Equipment

 

We had net property and equipment of $17,749 as of March 31, 2017 as compared to $19,322 as of December 31, 2016. The minimal movement was in line with expectations and a direct result of recording depreciation expense for the current period.

 

Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses

 

We had accounts payable and accrued expenses of $56,169 as of March 31, 2017, compared to $1,060 as of December 31, 2016. The increase was due to management’s decision to delay payment of a number of March expenses in full in the current period so accrual was required for those expenses.

 

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, we incurred operating expenses in excess of net revenue. However, anticipated cash flow from our existing loan receivable repayments plus net revenue are expected to exceed budgeted cash operating expenses for the next 12 months. To expand operations we will require capital infusions 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 $218,200 during the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to $598,523 during the three months ended March 31, 2016, and this decrease is due to a substantial reduction in net losses due to significant operational cost cuts. The Company incurred $370,289 of costs during the three months ended March 31, 2017 in connection with the OneMain tender offer.

 

We were provided with net cash from investing activities of $342,391 during the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to $6,083 during the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase in cash provided by investing activities is primarily due to a decrease in loans receivable originated.

 

We were provided $0 of net cash from financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to $1,250,767 during the same period in 2016. The decrease was attributable to the absence of any debt or equity capital raising proceeds compared to significant deposits for a common stock capital raising received in the corresponding period in 2016.

 

At March 31, 2017, we had cash on hand of $446,632, which when added to budgeted cash inflows from loans receivable repaid and budgeted cash inflows from revenues, is sufficient to meet our operating needs for the next 12 months.

 

17 
 

 

The principal conditions/events that raise substantial doubt about the company’s ability to meet its obligations are i) the Company has reported recurring losses and ii) the Company has not yet generated positive net cash flows from operations. However, the Company has significantly reduced its core operating expenses. In addition, cash in bank increased during the quarter, resulting from substantial positive net cash flows from investing activities. Management has evaluated the result of their plans for the next 12 months and as a result of the plans, the Company can meet all its obligations at least through May 2018. However, the Company intends, over the next 12 months, to seek additional capital to expand operations. Management has no intentions to repurchase a significant number of shares under the approved stock repurchase program unless additional capital has been secured.

 

On August 21, 2015, we, through certain of our wholly owned subsidiaries, repaid the entire balance of principal and accrued interest under the Loan and Security Agreement, as amended (the “Loan Agreement”), among BFG and certain of our wholly owned subsidiaries. As a result, there is currently no outstanding balance under the Loan Agreement. However, the Loan Agreement continues in effect and we are subject to a net profit interest under which we are required to pay BFG 20% of the “Net Profit” of its subsidiary, IEC SPV, LLC, until 10 years from the date the loan is repaid in full (August 2015). 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 refinancing the loan through a third party, as provided in the Loan Agreement, (iii) any costs, fees or commissions paid on the existing credit facility, and (iv) charge-offs to bad debt resulting from consumer loans and reduced by servicing fee. The Net Profit arrangement can be terminated by us upon a payment of $3,000,000 to BFG. Net profit interest for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 were $18,577 and $7,988, respectively. All loans receivable of the Company were pledged as collateral at March 31, 2017 for the fulfillment of the Net Profit calculation.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of March 31, 2017, 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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect any possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities.

 

The principal conditions/events that raise substantial doubt about the company’s ability to meet its obligations are i) the Company has reported recurring losses and ii) the Company has not yet generated positive net cash flows from operations. However, the Company has significantly reduced its core operating expenses. In addition, cash in bank increased during the quarter, resulting from substantial positive net cash flows from investing activities. Management has evaluated the result of their plans for the next 12 months and as a result of the plans, the Company can meet all its obligations at least through May 2018. However, the Company intends, over the next 12 months, to seek additional capital to expand operations. Management has no intentions to repurchase a significant number of shares under the approved stock repurchase program unless additional capital has been secured.

 

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 91 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 March 31, 2017, 103 loans with a total balance of $454,452 were delinquent or in default.

 

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 91 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 uncollectible 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 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“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) attributed to common shareholders 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 net 1-for-10 reverse split that occurred on October 27, 2016.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for other 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. Loans receivable are carried net of the allowance for credit losses and approximate their fair value.

 

Recently Issued or Newly Adopted Accounting Standards

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued FASB ASU2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. FASB ASU 2014-15 changes to the disclosure of uncertainties about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. These changes require an entity’s management to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that financial statements are issued. Substantial doubt is defined as an indication that it is probable that an entity will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that financial statements are issued. If management has concluded that substantial doubt exists, then the following disclosures should be made in the financial statements: (i) principal conditions or events that raised the substantial doubt, (ii) management’s evaluation of the significance of those conditions or events in relation to the entity’s ability to meet its obligations, (iii) management’s plans that alleviated the initial substantial doubt or, if substantial doubt was not alleviated, management’s plans that are intended to at least mitigate the conditions or events that raise substantial doubt, and (iv) if the latter in (iii) is disclosed, an explicit statement that there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. These changes became effective for the Company for the 2016 annual period. Our adoption of these changes have no material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740). The amendments in ASU 2015-17 change the requirements for the classification of deferred taxes on the balance sheet. Currently, GAAP requires an entity to separate deferred income tax liabilities and assets into current and noncurrent amounts in a classified statement of financial position. To simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes, the amendments in this ASU require that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Adoption of these changes have no material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The update intends to enhance the reporting model for financial instruments to provide users of financial statements with more decision-useful information and addresses certain aspects of the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. The new standard affects all entities that hold financial assets or owe financial liabilities. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is evaluating the impact of the adoption of these changes will have on the consolidated financial statements.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

We do not have any financial instruments that are exposed to significant market risk. We maintain our cash and cash equivalents in bank deposits and short-term, highly liquid money market investments. A hypothetical 100-basis point increase or decrease in market interest rates would not have a material impact on the fair value of our cash equivalents securities, or our earnings on such cash equivalents.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2017. Based on such review and evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2017, the disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (a) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (b) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
