NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – The Company

Marlin Business Services Corp. (the “Company”) is a nationwide provider
of credit products and services to small businesses. The
products and services we provide to our customers include loans and
leases for the acquisition of commercial equipment (including
Commercial Vehicle
Group (“CVG”) assets which now incorporates Transportation
Finance Group (“TFG”)) and working capital
loans. The Company was incorporated in the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania on August 5, 2003. In May 2000,
we established
AssuranceOne, Ltd., a Bermuda-based, wholly-owned captive
insurance subsidiary (“Assurance One”), which enables us to reinsure
the property insurance coverage for the equipment financed by Marlin
Leasing Corporation (“MLC”) and Marlin Business Bank
(“MBB”) for our small business customers. Effective
March 12, 2008, the Company opened MBB, a commercial
bank chartered by
the State of Utah and a member of the Federal Reserve System.
MBB serves as the Company’s
primary funding source through its
issuance of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”)
-insured deposits.
In January 2017, we completed the acquisition of
Horizon Keystone Financial (“HKF”), an equipment leasing company which
primarily identifies and sources lease and loan contracts
for investor partners for a fee.
On September 19, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of Fleet
Financing Resources
(“FFR”), a leading provider of equipment finance credit products specializing
in the leasing and financing of both new and used
commercial vehicles, with an emphasis on livery equipment and
other types of commercial vehicles used by small businesses.

References to the “Company,” “Marlin,
“Marlin,” “Registrant,” “we,” “us” and “our” herein refer to
Marlin Business Services Corp. and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires.

NOTE 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of financial statement presentation.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of the Company and
its wholly-owned subsidiaries. MLC and MBB are managed together
as a single business segment and are aggregated for financial
reporting purposes as they exhibit similar economic characteristics,
share the same leasing and loan portfolio and have a single
consolidated product offering platform. All intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements present
the Company’s financial position
at March 31,June 30, 2020 and the
results of operations for the three-monththree-
and six -month periods ended March 31,June 30, 2020 and 2019
,
and cash flows for the three-monthsix-month periods
ended March 31,June 30, 2020 and 2019.
In management’s opinion, the
unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments,
which include normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a
fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations
for
the interim periods presented.
These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and note disclosures included in the Company’s
Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019,
filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 13,
2020. The consolidated results and statements of cash flows for these
interim financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results
of operations or cash flows for the respective full years or
any
other period.

Use of Estimates.
These unaudited consolidated financial statements
require management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Estimates are used when accounting
for
income recognition, the residual values of leased equipment,
the allowance for credit losses, deferred initial direct costs and fees, late
fee receivables, the fair value of financial instruments, estimated
losses from insurance program, and income taxes. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.

Provision for income taxes.Income
Our statutory tax benefit of $7.4 millionrate was recorded
25.4
% for the three-month periodthree months ended March 31, 2020, compared to expense of $1.6 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019. June 30, 2020.
For the three-month period ended March 31,June 30, 2020, the income
effective tax rate was
18.9
%, driven by an interim reporting limitation on the amount of tax benefits
that can be recognized under
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740,
Income Taxes
.
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2020, the effective
tax rate in recognizing our benefit includeswas
33.2
%, driven by a $3.2 $
3.2
million
discrete benefit, related to remeasuringresulting from certain provisions in the Coronavirus
Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) that
allow for a remeasurement of our federal net operating losses.
The Company has filed for a refund of carryback net operating losses driven by certain provisions in
-11-
as permitted under the CARES Act. Our statutory act.
The impact to our effective rate from that benefit was partially
offset by the limitation on interim
tax rate, which is a combination of federalbenefits, as discussed above.
For the three and state income tax rates, was approximately 23.9% for both periods. However, six month periods ended June 30, 2019,
our effective tax rate was 38.6% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, driven by the recognition of the discrete benefit.

rates were

24.4
% and
24.1
%, respectively, and there were
no significant reconciling items from our statutory rate.
Significant Accounting Policies.
There have been no significant changes to our Significant
Accounting Policies as described in our 2019
Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December
31, 2019, other than the adoption of ASU2016-13 as described
below.

Standards

.
Credit Losses.
In June 2016, the FASB
issued ASU2016-13,
Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic
326): Measurement of
Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
, which changes the methodology for evaluating impairment
of most financial instruments.
This guidance was subsequently amended by ASU2018-19,
Codification Improvements,
ASU2019-04,
Codification Improvements
,
ASU2019-05,
Targeted
Transition Relief,
ASU2019-10,
Effective Dates,
and ASU2019-11,
Codification Improvements.Improvements
.
These
ASUs are referred to collectively as “CECL”.

CECL replaces the probable, incurred loss model with a measurement
of expected credit losses for the contractual term of the
Company’s current portfolio of loans
and leases. After the adoption of
Under CECL, an
allowance, or estimate of credit losses, will beis recognized immediately
upon the origination of a loan or lease and will be adjusted in
each subsequent reporting period.
This estimate of credit losses takes
into consideration all cashflows the Company expects to receive or
derive from the pools of contracts, including recoveries after
charge-off, amounts related to initial direct cost
and origination costs net of fees deferred, accrued interest receivable
and certain
future cashflows from residual assets. The Company had previously
recognized residual income within Fee Income in its Consolidated
Statements
of Operations; the adoption of CECL results in such residual income
being captured as a component of the activity of the
allowance. The Company’s policypoli
cy for charging off contracts against the
allowance, andnon-accrual policy are not impacted by the
adoption of CECL.

The provision for credit losses recognized in the Consolidated
Statements of Operations under CECL will be primarily driven by
originations, offset by the reversal of the allowance
for any contracts sold, plus any amounts of realized cashflows,
such as charge-offs,charge-
offs, above or below our modeled estimates, plus adjustments
for changes in estimate each subsequent reporting period.

Estimating an allowance under CECL requires the Company to
develop and maintain a consistent systematic methodology to
measure
the estimated credit losses inherent in its current portfolio,
over the entire life of the contracts.
The Company assesses the appropriate
collective, or pool, basis to use to aggregate its portfolio based
on the existence of similar risk characteristics and determined that its
measurement begins by separately considering segments of financing
receivables, which is similar to how it has historically analyzed
its allowance for credit losses: (i) equipment finance lease and loan;
(ii) working capital loans; (iii) commercial vehicles “CVG”;
and
(iv) Community Reinvestment Act. Act and Paycheck Protectio
n
loans.
However, these classes of receivables are
further disaggregated
into pools of loans based on risk characteristics that may include:
lease or loan type, origination channel, and internal credit
score (which
(which is a measurement that combines many risk characteristics,
including loan size, external credit scores, existence of
a guarantee,
and various characteristics of the borrower’s business).

As part of our analysis of expected credit losses, we may analyze
contracts on an individual basis, or create additional pools of
contracts, in situations where such loans exhibit unique risk characteristics
and are no longer expected to experience similar losses to
the rest of their pool.

As part of its estimate of expected credit losses, specific to each
measurement date, management considers relevant qualitative and
quantitative factors to assess whether the historical loss experience
being referenced should be adjusted to better reflect the risk
characteristics of the current portfolio and the expected future
loss experience for the life of these contracts.
This assessment
incorporates all available information relevant to considering the collectability
of its current portfolio, including considering economic
and business conditions, default trends, changes in its portfolio
composition, changes in its lending policies and practices, among
other
internal and external factors.

The Company adopted the guidance in these ASUs, effective
January 1, 2020, applying changes resulting from the application
of the
new standard’s provisions as a
cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of
the beginning of the first reporting period in
which the guidance is effective (i.e., modified retrospective
approach).

CRA loans are comprised of loans originated under a line of credit to satisfy its obligations under the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977

(2)
Equipment loans are comprised of Equipment Finance Agreements, Installment Purchase Agreements and other loans.
In 2020, the Company was a participating lender,
offering loans to its customers that are guaranteed under
the Small Business
Administration’s (SBA’s)
Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”).
The SBA pays lender fees for processing PPP loans, and the
Company will recognize the fee income associated with originating
these loans over the life of the contracts on the effective
interest
method.
In response to COVID-19, starting in mid-March 2020,
the Company instituted a payment deferral contract modification
program in
order to assist our small-business customers.
See Note 6, “Allowance for Credit Losses” for discussion of that program.
At March 31,June 30, 2020, $62.0 $
50.5
million in net investment in leases were pledged as collateral
for the Company’s outstanding asset-backed
securitization balance and $
56.3
million in net investment in leases were pledged as collateral for the Company’s outstanding asset-backed securitization balance and $55.1 million in net investment in leases were pledged as collateral for
the secured borrowing capacity at
the Federal Reserve Discount Window.

The amount of deferred initial direct costs and origination costs
net of fees deferred were $19.5 $
17.9
million and $20.5 $
20.5
million as of March 31,June
30, 2020 and December 31, 2019,
respectively. Initial direct
costs are netted in unearned income and are amortized to income using
the effective interest method.
ASU2016-02 limited the types of costs that qualify for deferral
as initial direct costs for leases, which
reduced the deferral of unit lease costs and resulted in an increase
in current period expense. Origination costs are netted in
commercial loans and are amortized to income using the effective
interest method. At March 31,June 30, 2020 and December 31,
2019, $23.5 $

Portfolio Sales

The Company originates certain lease and loans for sale to
third parties, based on their underwriting criteria and specifications.
In
addition, the Company may periodically enter into agreements to sell certain
leases and loans that were originated for investment to
third parties.

For agreements that qualify as a sale where the Company has
continuing involvement through servicing, the Company recognizes
a
servicing liability at its initial fair value, and then amortizes the liability
over the expected servicing period based on the effective yield
method, within Other income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company’s sale agreements
typically do not contain
a stated servicing fee, so the initial value recognized as a servicing
liability is a reduction of the proceeds received and is based
on an
estimate of the fair value attributable to that obligation.
The Company’s servicing liability
was $2.3 $
1.9
million and $2.5 $
2.5
million as of March 31,
June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively,
and is recognized within Accounts payable and accrued expenses
in the
Consolidated Balance Sheets.
As of March 31,June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the portfolio
of leases and loans serviced for others was $328 
$
296
million and $340 $
340
million, respectively.

In addition, the Company
may have continuing involvement in contracts sold through any recourse
obligations that may include
customary representations and warranties or specific recourse
provisions. The Company’s reserve
for expected losses from recourse
obligations was $1.2 $
0.8
million as of March 31,June 30, 2020 and was $0.4 $
0.4
million as of December 31, 2019.

NOTE 6 – Allowance for Credit Losses

For 2019 and prior, we maintained an allowance
for credit losses at an amount sufficient to absorb
losses inherent in our existing lease
and loan portfolios as of the reporting dates based on our estimate of probable
incurred net credit losses in accordance with the
Contingencies Topic
of the FASB ASC.

Effective January 1, 2020, we
adopted
ASU2016-13,
Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic
326): Measurement of Credit
Losses on Financial Instruments
(“CECL”)
,
which changed our accounting policy and estimated allowance.
CECL replaces the
probable, incurred loss model with a measurement of expected
credit losses for the contractual term of the Company’s
current
portfolio of loans and leases.
After the adoption of CECL, an allowance, or estimate of credit
losses, will beis recognized immediately upon
the origination of a loan or lease and will be adjusted in each
subsequent reporting period.
See further discussion of the adoption of
this accounting standard and a summary of the Company’s
revised Accounting Policy for Allowance for Credit Losses
in Note 2,
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.
Detailed discussion of our measurement of allowance under CECL
as of the adoption
date and March 31,June 30, 2020 is below.

The following tables summarize activity in the allowance for

The Company adopted ASU 2016-13,
Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic
326): Measurement of Credit
Losses on
Financial Instruments
, which changed our accounting policy and estimated allowance,
effective January 1, 2020.
See further
discussion in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”,
and below.
Estimate of Current Expected Credit Losses
(CECL)

Starting with the January 1, 2020 adoption of CECL, the Company recognizes
an allowance, or estimate of credit losses, immediately
upon the origination of a loan or lease, and that estimate will
be reassessed in each subsequent reporting period.
This estimate of
credit losses takes into consideration all cashflows the Company
expects to receive or derive from the pools of contracts, including
recoveries aftercharge-off, amounts related to
initial direct cost and origination costs net of fees deferred,
accrued interest receivable
and certain future cashflows from residual assets.

-21-
As part of its estimate of expected credit losses, specific to each
measurement date, management considers relevant qualitative and
quantitative factors to assess whether the historical loss experience
being referenced should be adjusted to better reflect the risk
characteristics of the current portfolio and the expected future
loss experience for the life of these contracts.
This assessment
incorporates all available information relevant to considering the collectability
of its current portfolio, including considering economic
and business conditions, default trends, changes in its portfolio
composition, changes in its lending policies and practices, among
other
internal and external factors.

Current Measurement

The Company selected a vintage loss model as the approach to
estimate and measure its expected credit losses for all portfolio
segments and for all pools, primarily because the timing of the losses
realized has been consistent across historical vintages, such
that
the company is able to develop a predictable and reliable
loss curve for each separate portfolio segment.
The vintage model assigns
loans to vintages by origination date, measures our historical
average actual loss and recovery experience within that vintage, develops
a loss curve based on the averages of all vintages, and predicts (or
forecasts) the remaining expected net losses of the current portfolio
by applying the expected net loss rates to the remaining life of each open
vintage.

Additional detail specific to the measurement of each portfolio
segment under CECL as of January 1, 2020 and March 31, June 30,
2020 is
summarized below.

-20-


Equipment Finance:

Equipment Finance consists of Equipment Finance Agreements, Installment
Purchase Agreements and other leases and loans.
The risk characteristics referenced to develop pools of Equipment
Finance leases and loans are based on internally developed
credit score ratings, which is a measurement that combines many risk
characteristics, including loan size, external credit
scores, existence of a guarantee, and various characteristics of the borrower’s
business.
In addition, the Company separately
measured a pool of true leases so that any future cashflowscashflo
ws from residuals could be used to partially offset the allowance for
that pool.

The Company’s measurement of
Equipment Finance pools is based on its own historical loss experience.
The Company
analyzed the correlation of its own loss data from 2004 to 2019
against various economic variables in order to determine an
approach for reasonable and supportable forecast.
The Company then selected certain economic variables to
reference for its
forecast about the future, specifically the unemployment rate
and growth in business bankruptcy.
The Company’s
methodology reverts from the forecast data to its own loss data
adjusted for the long-term average of the referenced economic
variables, on a straight-line basis.

At each reporting date, the Company considers current conditions, including
changes in portfolio composition or the business
environment, when determining the appropriate measurement
of current expected credit losses for the remaining life of its
portfolio.
As of the January 1, 2020 adoption date, the Company utilized a12-month 12
-month forecast period and12-month straight-line straight-
line reversion period, based on its initial assessment of the appropriate
timing.

However, for itsstarting with the March 31,
2020 measurement, the Company adjusted
its model to reference a6-month forecast
period and12-month straight line reversion period.
The change in the length of the reasonable and supportable
forecast was
based on observed market volatility in late March,
and the Company continues to reference a 6-month forecast
period at June
30, 2020 due to continuing uncertainty of the duration and level of impact
of theCOVID-19 virus on the macroeconomic
environment and the Company’s portfolio,
including uncertainty about the forecasted impact ofCOVID-19 COVID
-19 that was
underlying its economic forecasted variables beyond a6-month period.
The forecast adjustment to the Equipment Finance
portfolio segment resulted in a $10.8 the recognition of provision of $
10.1
million increase to the provisionand $
20.9
million for the three and six months
ended March 31, 2020.

TheJune 30, 2020, respectively.

After completing the forecast adjustment, the Company qualitatively assessed
the output of the Equipment Finance calculated allowance after adjustingreserve estimate and
increased the forecast period,reserve for a $
3.4
million qualitative adjustment as of June 30,
2020 based on an analysis that incorporates the
current forecasted peak levels of unemployment and determined the resulting credit loss estimate to properly reflect its estimate of expected net cashflows of this portfolio segment over the remaining contract term.

business bankruptcy.

Working Capital:

The risk characteristics referenced to develop pools of Working
Capital loans is based on origination channel, separately
considering an estimation of loss for direct-sourced loans versus loans
that were sourced from a broker.
The Company’s
historical relationship with its direct-sourced customers typically
results in a lower level of credit risk than loans sourced
from brokers where the Company has no prior credit relationship
with the customer.

-22-
The Company’s measurement of
Working Capital
pools is based on its own historical loss experience.
The Company’s
Working Capital loans
typically range from 6 – 12 months of duration. For this portfolio
segment, due to the short contract
duration, the Company did not define a standard methodology to
adjust its loss estimate based on a forecast of economic
conditions.
However, the Company will continually
assess through a qualitative adjustment whether there are changes in
conditions and the environment that will impact the performance
of these loans that should be considered for qualitative
adjustment.

At each reporting date, the Company considers current conditions, including
changes in portfolio composition or the business
environment, when determining the appropriate measurement
of current expected credit losses for the remaining life of its
portfolio.
As of the January 1, 2020 adoption date, there was no qualitative adjustment to
the Working
Capital portfolio.
However, for thestarting with its March 31,
2020
measurement, driven by the elevated risk of credit loss driven by market
conditions due toCOVID-19, the Company developed alternate
scenarios for credit loss based on an analysis of the
characteristics of its portfolio,
considering different timing and magnitudes of potential
exposures.
The Company determined
its most likely expectation for credit losses for the Working
Capital segment for the remaining nine months of 2020, based on the increased risk to its borrowers and
increased risk to the collectability of its portfolio fromCOVID-19, COVID
-19.
Based on that analysis, the Working
Capital reserve was
increased and increased the reserve by a $5.5 Company recognized provision associated with
qualitative adjustments of $
1.5
million qualitative adjustmentand $
7.0
million for that loss estimate.

-21-


the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.

Commercial Vehicle
Group (CVG):

Transportation-related equipment leases and
loans are analyzed as a single pool, as the Company did not consider
any risk
characteristics to be significant enough to warrant disaggregating this
population.

The Company’s measurement of
CVG pools is based on a combination of its own historical
loss experience and industry loss
data from an external source. The Company has limited history of this
product, and therefore the Company determined it was
appropriate to develop an estimate based on a combination of
internal and industry data.
Due to the Company’s limited
history of performance of this segment, and the limited size of
the portfolio, the Company did not develop a standard
methodology to adjust its loss estimate based on a forecast of economic
conditions.
However, the Company will continually
assess through a qualitative adjustment whether there are changes
in conditions and the environment that will impact the
performance of these loans that should be considered for
qualitative adjustment.

At each reporting date, the Company considers current conditions, including
changes in portfolio composition or the business
environment, when determining the appropriate measurement of
for the remaining life of the current portfolio.
As of the
January 1, 2020 adoption date, there were no qualitative adjustment to
the CVG portfolio.
However, forstarting with the March
31, 2020 measurement, driven by the elevated risk of credit loss driven
by market conditions due toCOVID-19, the
Company developed alternate scenarios for expected credit
loss for this segment, considering different timing
and
magnitudes of potential exposures.
The Company determined its most likely expectation for
credit losses for the CVG
segment for the remaining nine months of 2020 based on the increased risk to its borrowers and increased
risk to the collectability of its portfolio fromCOVID-19,
and increased the reserve by a $2.9 and recognized provision associated
with qualitative adjustments of $
0.4
million qualitative adjustment and $
3.3
million
for that loss estimate.

Community Reinvestment Act (CRA):

and Paycheck Protection

Program (PPP)
Loans:
CRA loans are comprised of loans originated under a line of
credit to satisfy the Company’s obligations
under the Community Reinvestment ActCRA. PPP
loans are comprised of 1977. loans that are guaranteed by the Small Business
Administration.
The Company does not measure an
allowance specific to this portfolio segment these populations
because the exposure to credit loss is nominal.

Specific Analysis:
As part of our analysis of expected credit losses, we may analyze
contracts on an individual basis, or create additional pools
of contracts, in situations where such loans exhibit unique risk characteristics
and are no longer expected to experience
similar losses to the rest of their pool.
As of June 30, 2020 and January 1, 2020, there were
0
contracts subject to specific
analysis.
-23-
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company has recognized
$15.5 million and $
34.7
million of provision,
respectively, driven by increasing
the allowance for qualitative and forecast adjustments as
a result of conditions driven by the
COVID-19 pandemic.
The COVID-19 pandemic, business shutdowns and impacts to our
customers, is still ongoing, and the extent of
the effects of the pandemic on our portfolio
depends on future developments, which are highly uncertain and
are difficult to predict.
Further, the Company instituted a
Loan modification payment deferral program, as discussed further
below, to give payment
relief to
customers during this period.
As of June 30, 2020, the performance of loans modified under
that program remains uncertain, due to
the timing of the modified loans resuming payment.
Our reserve as of June 30, 2020, and the qualitative and economic
adjustments discussed above, were calculated referencing our
historical loss experience, including loss experience through the 2008
economic cycle, and our adjustments to that experience based
on our judgements about the extent of the impact of the COVID
-19 pandemic.
Those judgements include certain expectations for the
extent and timing of impacts from COVID-19 on unemployment rates
and business bankruptcies and are based on our current
expectations of the performance of our portfolio in the current environment.
We may recognize
credit losses in excess of our reserve,
or increases to our credit loss estimate, in the future, and such
increases may be significant, based on (i) the actual performance of
our
portfolio, including the performance of the modified portfolio,
(ii) any further changes in the economic environment, or (iii) other
developments or unforeseen circumstances that impact our portfolio.
Loan Modification Program:
In response toCOVID-19, starting inmid-March 2020,
the Company instituted a payment deferral program in order
to assist its small-businesssmall-

The Company typically processed
first requests to defer customers for up to 3 months; starting in June,
the Company has been impacted byevaluating and processing requests to

and as such these loans were not put on non-accrual upon modification.
The amount presented for interest income reflects

Subsequent toquarter-end, through April 24, 2020, the Company has approved the payment deferral modification application for contracts representing an additional $134.5 million net investment in leases and loans. A portion of these modifications are subject to the completion of final processing and documentation.

not significant.


Credit Quality

At origination, the Company utilizes an internally developed
credit score ratings as part of its underwriting assessment and
pricing
decisions for new contracts.
The internal credit score is a measurement that combines
many risk characteristics, including loan size,
external credit scores, existence of a guarantee, and various characteristics
of the borrower’s business.
The internal credit score is
used to create pools of loans for analysis in the Company’s
Equipment Finance portfolio segment, as discussed
further above.
We
believe this segmentation allows our loss modeling to properly
reflect changes in portfolio mix driven by sales activity and
adjustments to underwriting standards.
However, this score is not updated after origination
date for analyzing the Company’s
provision.

On an ongoing basis, to monitor the credit quality of its portfolio,
the Company primarily reviews the current delinquency of the
portfolio and delinquency migration to monitor risk and default trends. We
believe that delinquency is the best factor to use to monitor
the credit quality of our portfolio on an ongoing basis because
it reflects the current condition of the portfolio, and is a good
predictor
of near term charge-offs and can help with identifying
trends and emerging risks to the portfolio.

Current receivables include leases and loans that are in payment deferral status as part of the Company’sCOVID-19 modification program. See further discussion above.

In response to COVID-19, starting in mid-March 2020,
the Company instituted a payment deferral program in order
to assist its small-
business customers that request relief who are current under
their existing obligations and can demonstrate that their ability to
repay
has been impacted by the COVID-19 crisis.
This program includes either reduced or full-payment deferrals for
the modified
contracts, and those contracts are presented in the below delinquency
table and the non-accrual information for June 30,
2020 based on
their status with respect to the modified terms.
See “Loan Modification Program” section above for
further information on the
modifications.

NOTE 7 - Goodwill and Intangible
Assets

Goodwill

The Company’s goodwill balance of $6.7 $
6.7
million at December 31, 2019 included $1.2 $
1.2
million from the Company’s acquisition of Horizon Keystone Financial, an equipment company (‘HKF”),
HKF, in January 2017,
and $5.5 $
5.5
million from the September 2018 acquisition of FFR.
The goodwill balance represents the excess
purchase price over the Company’s
fair value of the assets acquired and is not amortizable but is deductible
for tax purposes. Impairment testing will be performed in the fourth quarter of each year and more frequently as warranted in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance.

The Company assigns its goodwill to a single, consolidated reporting
unit, Marlin Business Services Corp. In the first quarter
of 2020,
events or circumstances indicated that it was more likely than
not that the fair value of its reporting unit was less than its carrying
amount, driven in part by market capitalization of the Company falling
below its book value, and negative current events that impact
the Company related to theCOVID-19 economic shutdown.
The Company calculated the fair value of the reporting unit,
by taking
the average stock price over a reasonable period of time multiplied
by shares outstanding as of March 31, 2020 and then further
applying a control premium, and compared it to its carrying carryin
g
amount, including goodwill.
The Company concluded that the implied
fair value of goodwill was less than its carrying amount, and
recognized impairment equal to the $6.7 $
6.7
million balance in General and administrative expense in the
Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the three- monthsix-month period
ended March 31,June 30, 2020 are as follows:

NOTE 11 – Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures about
the Fair Value
of Financial Instruments

Fair Value
Measurements

Fair value is defined in GAAP as the price that would be received
to sell an asset or the price that would be paid to transfer a
liability
on the measurement date. GAAP focuses on the exit price in
the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in
an
orderly transaction between market participants. A three-level
valuation hierarchy is required for disclosure of fair value
measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of
an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The fair value
hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted)
in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and
the
lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The level in the fair
value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its
entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that
is significant to the measurement in its entirety.

The Company’s balances measured
at fair value on a recurring basis include the following
as of March 31,June 30, 2020 and December 31,
2019:

any of the periods presented.

Non-Recurring Measurements

Non-recurring fair value measurements include assets and liabilities
that are periodically remeasured or assessed for impairment
using
Fair value measurements.Non-recurring measurements include
the Company’s evaluation of goodwill
and residual assets for
impairment, and the Company’s remeasurement
of contingent consideration and assessment of the carrying amount
of its servicing
liability.

For the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2020, the Company recognized $6.7 
$
6.7
million for the impairment of goodwill in General and administrative expense in the Consolidated
Statements of Operations, as discussed further in Note 7, Goodwill
and Intangible Assets.
For the threesix months ended March 31, June 30,
2019,
there were no significant amounts recognized in the Consolidated
Statements of Operations in connection withnon-recurring fair
value measurements.

NOTE 12 – Earnings Per Share

The Company’s restricted stock
awards are paidnon-forfeitable common stock dividends and
thus meet the criteria of participating
securities. Accordingly, earnings
per share (“EPS”) has been calculated using thetwo-class method,
under which earnings are
allocated to both common stock and participating securities.

Basic EPS has been computed by dividing net income or loss allocated
to common stock by the weighted average common shares
used in computing basic EPS. For the computation of basic EPS,
all shares of restricted stock have been deducted from the weighted
average shares outstanding.

Diluted EPS has been computed by dividing net income or loss
allocated to common stock by the weighted average number
of
common shares used in computing basic EPS, further adjusted
by including the dilutive impact of the exercise or conversion of
common stock equivalents, such as stock options, into shares
of common stock as if those securities were exercised or
converted.

The following table provides net income and shares used in computing basic
and diluted EPS:

Regulatory Capital Requirements

Through its issuance of FDIC-insured deposits, MBB serves as the Company’s
primary funding source. Over time, MBB may offer
other products and services to the Company’s
customer base. MBB operates as a Utah state-chartered, Federal
Reserve member
commercial bank, insured by the FDIC. As a state-chartered Federal
Reserve member bank, MBB is supervised by both the Federal
Reserve Bank of San Francisco and the Utah Department of Financial
Institutions.

The Company and MBB are subject to capital adequacy regulations
issued jointly by the federal bank regulatory agencies. These risk-based
risk-
based capital and leverage guidelines make regulatory capital requirements
more sensitive to differences in risk profiles among
banking organizations and consideroff-balance off
-balance sheet exposures in determining capital adequacy.
The federal bank regulatory agencies
and/or the U.S. Congress may determine to increase capital requirements
in the future due to the current economic environment.
Under the capital adequacy regulation, at least half of a banking organization’s
total capital is required to be “Tier "Tier
1 Capital”Capital" as
defined in the regulations, comprised of common equity,
retained earnings and a limited amount ofnon-cumulative
perpetual
preferred stock. The remaining capital, “Tier "Tier
2 Capital," as defined in the regulations, may consist of other preferred
stock, a limited
amount of term subordinated debt or a limited amount of the
reserve for possible credit losses. The regulations establish
minimum
leverage ratios for banking organizations, which are
calculated by dividing Tier 1 Capital
by total average assets. Recognizing that the
risk-based capital standards principally address credit risk rather than interest
rate, liquidity, operational
or other risks, many banking
organizations are expected to maintain capital in excess
of the minimum standards.

The Company and MBB operate under the Basel III capital
adequacy standards. These standards require a minimum for Tier
1
leverage ratio of 4%
4
%, minimum Tier 1 risk-based ratio
of 6%
6
%, and a total risk-based capital ratio of 8%
8
%.
The Basel III capital adequacy
standards established a new common equity Tier
1 risk-based capital ratio with a required 4.5%
4.5
% minimum (6.5%(
6.5
% to be considered
well-capitalized). The Company is required to have a level of
regulatory capital in excess of the regulatory minimum and
to have a
capital buffer above 1.875% for 2018, and 2.5% for 2019 and thereafter.
2.5
%. If a banking organization does not maintain capital above
the minimum plus the capital conservation buffer
it may be subject to restrictions on dividends, share buybacks, and
certain discretionary payments such as bonus payments.

CMLA Agreement.
On March 25, 2020, MBB received notice from the FDIC that
it had approved MBB’s request
to rescind certain
nonstandard conditions in the FDIC’s
order granting federal deposit insurance issued on March 20,
2007. Furthermore, effective
-35-
March 26, 2020,
the FDIC, the Company and certain of the Company’s
subsidiaries terminated the Capital Maintenance and Liquidity
Agreement (the “CMLA Agreement”) and the Parent Company
Agreement, each entered into by and among the Company,
certain of
its subsidiaries and the FDIC in conjunction with the opening of
MBB.
As
a result of these actions, MBB is no longer required
pursuant to the CMLA Agreement to maintain a total risk-based
capital ratio above 15%
15
%. Rather, MBB must continue to maintain a
total risk-based capital ratio above 10% in order to maintain “well-capitalized”
“well-capitalized” status as defined by banking regulations, while the
Company must continue to maintain a total risk-based capital
ratio as discussed in the immediately preceding paragraph.
The
additional capital released by the termination of the CMLA Agreement
is held at MBB and is subject to the restrictions outlined in
Title 12 part 208 of the Code of Federal Regulations (12
(12 CFR 208.5), which places limitations on bank dividends,
including restricting
dividends for any year to the earnings from the current and prior
two calendar years.
Any dividends declared above that amount and
any return of permanent capital would require prior
approval of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors.

MBB’s Tier
1 Capital balance at March 31,June 30, 2020 was $139.2 was$
133.6
million, which met all capital requirements to which MBB is subject
and
qualified MBB for “well-capitalized” status. At March 31,June 30, 2020
,
the Company also exceeded its regulatory capital requirements and
was
considered “well-capitalized” as defined by federal banking regulations
and as required by the FDIC Agreement.

CECL Capital Transition.
The Company adopted CECL, or a new measurement methodology for
the allowance estimate, on January

1, 2020, as discussed further in Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies.
Rules governing the Company’s regulatory
capital requirements give entities the option of delaying for two years
the estimated impact of CECL on regulatory capital, followed

-34-


by a three-year transition period to phase out the aggregate amount

of capital benefit, or a five-year transition in total. The Company
has elected to avail itself of the five-year transition.
For measurements of regulatory capital in 2020 and 2021
,
under the two year
delay the Company shall prepare: (i) a measurement of its estimated
allowance for credit losses under CECL, as reported in its balance
sheets; and (ii) a measurement of its estimated allowance under
the historical incurred loss methodology,
as prescribed by the
regulatory calculation.
Any amount of provisions under CECL that is in excess of the incurred
estimate will be an adjustment the
Company’s capital during thetwo-year
delay.
The three-year transition, starting in 2022, will phase in that
adjustment straight-line,
such that
25
percent of the transitional amounts will be included in the first year,
and an additional 25%

Prompt Corrective Action
.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of
1991 (“FDICIA”) requires the federal
regulators to take prompt corrective action against any undercapitalized
institution.
Five capital categories have been established
under federal banking regulations:
well-capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized,
significantly undercapitalized and
critically undercapitalized.
Well-capitalized
institutions significantly exceed the required minimum level
for each relevant capital
measure.
Adequately capitalized institutions include depository institutions
that meet but do not significantly exceed the required
minimum level for each relevant capital measure. Undercapitalized
institutions consist of those that fail to meet the required
minimum
level for one or more relevant capital measures.
Significantly undercapitalized characterizes depository institutions with
capital levels
significantly below the minimum requirements for any relevant capital
measure.
Critically undercapitalized refers to depository
institutions with minimal capital and at serious risk for government
seizure.

Under certain circumstances, a well-capitalized, adequately capitalized
or undercapitalized institution may be treated as if the
institution were in the next lower capital category.
A depository institution is generally prohibited from making
capital distributions,
including paying dividends, or paying management fees to a holding
company if the institution would thereafter be undercapitalized.
Institutions that are adequately capitalized but not well-capitalized
cannot accept, renew or roll over brokered deposits except with a
waiver from the FDIC and are subject to restrictions on the interest
rates that can be paid on such deposits. Undercapitalized
institutions may not accept, renew or roll over brokered deposits.

-35-


The federal bank regulatory agencies are permitted or,
in certain cases, required to take certain actions with respect to
institutions
falling within one of the three undercapitalized categories.
Depending on the level of an institution’s
capital, the agency’s corrective
powers include, among other things:

prohibiting
the payment of principal and interest on subordinated
debt;

prohibiting

the holding company from making distributions without
prior regulatory approval;

placing

limits on asset growth and restrictions on activities;

placing

additional restrictions on transactions with affiliates;

restricting

the interest rate the institution may pay on deposits;

prohibiting the institution from accepting

deposits from correspondent banks; and

in the most severe cases, appointing a

conservator or receiver for the institution.

A banking institution that is undercapitalized is required to
submit a capital restoration plan, and such a plan will not be accepted
unless, among other things, the banking institution’s
holding company guarantees the plan up to a certain specified amount.
Any such
guarantee from a depository institution’s
holding company is entitled to a priority of payment in bankruptcy.

MBB’s total risk-based capital
ratio of 16.16%
1623
% at March 31,June 30, 2020 exceeded the threshold for “well capitalized”
status under the
applicable laws and regulations.

Dividends
.
The Federal Reserve Board has issued policy statements requiring
insured banks and bank holding companies to have an
established assessment process for maintaining capital commensurate
with their overall risk profile. Such assessment process may
affect the ability of the organizations to pay
dividends. Although generally organizations may pay dividends
only out of current
operating earnings, dividends may be paid if the distribution is prudent
relative to the organization’s
financial position and risk profile,
after consideration of current and prospective economic conditions.

-36-


As of June 30, 2020, MBB does not have the capacity to pay
dividends to the Company without explicit approval from the
Federal Reserve Board of Governors because of the current
period losses
and the amount of cumulative dividends paid over the past two years.

Stock Options

Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal
to the market price of the Company’s
stock at the date of the grant
and have
7
year contractual terms.
All options issued contain service conditions based on the participant’s
continued service with the
Company and provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control
as defined in the Equity Compensation Plans.
Employee
stock options generally vest over
three
to
four years
.
There were
0
stock options granted during the three-month and six periods ended
June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, respectively.
The expected life for options is estimated based on their vesting and
contractual terms and was determined by applying the simplified
method as defined by the SEC’s Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”). The risk-free interest rate
reflected the yield on
zero-coupon Treasury securities with a term
approximating the expected life of the stock options. The
expected volatility was
determined using historical volatilities based on historical stock
prices
.

The risk free interest rate reflected the yield on zero coupon Treasury
securities with a term approximating the expected life of the

of the Company’s common
stock. Dividend yield was assumed at zero
as the grant assumes dividends distributed during the performance period
are reinvested.
When valuing the grant, we have assumed a
dividend yield of zero, which is mathematically equivalent to
reinvesting dividends in the issuing entity.

VERVIEW

Founded in 1997, we are a nationwide provider of credit
products and services to small andmid-sized businesses. The products
and
services we provide to our customers include loans and leases for the acquisition
of commercial equipment (including Commercial
Vehicle
Group (“CVG”) assets) and working capital loans. In May 2000,
we established AssuranceOne, Ltd., a Bermuda-based,
wholly-owned captive insurance subsidiary (“Assurance One”),
which enables us to reinsure the property insurance coverage for the
equipment financed by Marlin Leasing Corporation (“MLC”) and
Marlin Business Bank (“MBB”) for our small business customers.
In 2008, we opened MBB, a commercial bank chartered by the State
of Utah and a member of the Federal Reserve System. MBB
serves as the Company’s primary
funding
source through its issuance of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(“FDIC”)-insured
deposits.
In January 2017, we completed the acquisition of Horizon Keystone Financial
(“HKF”), an equipment leasing company
which primarily identifies and sources lease and loan contracts
for investor partners for a fee, and in September 2018,
we completed
the acquisition of Fleet Financing Resources (“FFR”), an company
specializing in the leasing and financing of both new and used
commercial vehicles, with an emphasis on livery equipment and
other types of commercial vehicles used by small businesses.

We access our
end user customers primarily through origination sources consisting
of independent commercial equipment dealers,
various national account programs, through direct solicitation of our
end user customers and through relationships with select
lease
and loan brokers. We
use both a telephonic direct sales model and, for strategic larger
accounts, outside sales executives to market to
our origination sources and end user customers. Through these origination
sources, we are able to cost-effectively access end
user
customers while also helping our origination sources obtain financing
for their customers.

We fund our
business primarily through the issuance of fixed and variable-rate
FDIC-insured deposits and money market demand

loans, as well as, from time to time, fixed-rate asset backed
securitization transactions.

Summary

The

Through the second quarter, the impacts
of the COVID-19
pandemic rapidly escalated continued to be experienced
bymid-March, and we shifted our business focus towards mitigating the adverse effect of this crisis on our employees, customers and partners, while at the same time maintaining the stability of our operations. We implemented our business continuity plan inmid-March to allow our employees to work remotely, and we have not experienced any significant interruption of our operations.

second
quarter of 2019. Our assets sales in the first quarter of 2020 were $22.9 million, which is considerably lower than recent prior quarters, due in part to weaker overall investor demand. As
While we observe the impact of the slowing economy on small businesses, through the end of March wehave tightened our underwriting standards for bothall of our equipment financeproducts,
the decline in volume is primarily due to
decreased demand during this period of business shutdowns and working capital products.
economic uncertainty.
We expect our
origination volumes for the
second quarterhalf of 2020 will be negatively impacted by these factors,as the effects
of the pandemic continue and this period of uncertainty continues to
impact the macroeconomic environment.
Given the ongoing health crisis in the United States, especially the
recent COVID-19 flare-
ups in the south and west, any returnsreturn to normalpre-pandemic levels of
activity remains uncertain.

We implemented
a payment deferral contract modification program to assist
our customers who, during this period of economic
decline, arewere current under their existing obligations.
As of June 30, 2020, we had $133.8 million, or 13.7%, of our Net investment
in
leases and loans in payment deferral agreements,
and on average the term of the modified contracts had increased
by three months.
We have begun to extend
the deferrals for certain customers using specific underwriting
criteria,
for up to six months of total
modification.
As our contract modification program will allow for up-to six months
of payment deferrals, and the program began in late March,
the
ultimate performance of this portfolio and the customers’
ability to resume full payment will be shown generally starting
late in the
third quarter or going into the fourth quarter of this year.
Based on their modified terms as of June 30, 2020,
25% of our total
modified contracts had already resumed their regular payment schedule
before the end of the second quarter,
72%
were scheduled to
resume payment in the third quarter and the remaining 3% were
scheduled to resume payment in the fourth quarter.
We are closely
monitoring the payment performance of our customers as their
post-deferral obligations and can demonstrate thatbecome due.
While most modification
extensions require partial payments, the ability of these customers
to resume their scheduled payment obligations under their contract
has yet to be confirmed.

Our estimate of credit losses is based on our assessment of the
risks to our portfolio, including certain
economic assumptions driven by forecasted unemployment and business
bankruptcy levels, our expectations regarding the
performance of our portfolio under these economic conditions,
and such estimates are driven by limited information regarding the
extent and timeline of impacts fromCOVID-19. All of the assumptions
and expectations underlying our estimate of credit loss depend
largely on future developments, and these estimates are
highly uncertain. uncertain;
the ultimate amount of credit losses we may realize on our
portfolio may vary from our current estimate.
We may experience significantrecognize credit
losses in excess of our reserve, or adjustments to our required
reserve based on future periods as we refine our estimates or realize performance,
and such adjustments may be significant, based on: (i)
the actual performance of our portfolio,
including the performance of the modified portfolio;
(ii) any further changes in the economic environment; or (iii)
other developments
or unforeseen circumstances that impact our portfolio.

-44-
We recognized
a $5.9 million Net loss for the quarter,
driven largely by the $15.5 million COVID-related
provision for loan loss.
We
began efforts to tighten our expense base, putting approximately
120 employees on furlough in mid-April.
In June, we made the
decision to permanently reduce our workforce by approximately
80 employees, which reduced our headcount to approximately
250
employees at the end of July,
down from approximately 350 employees as of December 31,
2019.
Our total Salaries and benefits was
$7.7 million for the second quarter of 2020, which is $4.8
million lower than the same quarter of 2019.
That reduction reflects $1.7
million of lower salary expense, primarily driven by reduced
headcount from the furlough, partially offset by $0.9
million of
severance recognized, plus $1.9 million lower incentive compensation cost and
$2.1
million of lower commission expense.
We also
made the decision to exit one office lease as part of our
cost reduction efforts, and recognized $0.2 million of costs
associated with
that planned exit.
We continue
to assess all other aspects of our expense base in order to
stabilize our operations and minimize the
negative impacts of the ongoing pandemic.
Through the second quarter, our employees
continue to work remotely,
and we have not experienced any significant interruption to
our operations from that transition.
We continue to
assess how to best evolve our operations and how to best serve our customers
in
this changing environment.

Capital Update

On March 25,

Further, we instituted a Loan modification
payment deferral program, as discussed further below,
to give payment relief to customers
during this period.
As of June 30, 2020, we received noticethe performance of loans modified under that program
remains uncertain.
Our reserve as of June 30, 2020, and the FDIC approved MBB’s request qualitative and economic
adjustments outlined below in our Provision discussion,
were
calculated referencing our historical loss experience, including loss
experience through the 2008 economic cycle, and our adjustments
to rescind certain nonstandard conditions that had been in effect sinceexperience based on our judgements about the bank was formed in 2007. In addition, the FDIC, the Company and certainexpected

Those judgements include certain
expectations
for the Capital Maintenanceextent and Liquidity Agreement (the “CMLA Agreement”)timing of impacts from COVID-19 on unemployment
rates and the Parent Company Agreement, effective March 26, 2020. As a result of these actions, MBB is no longer required pursuant to the CMLA Agreement to maintain a total risk-based capital ratio above 15%. Rather, MBB must continue to maintain a total risk-based capital ratio above 10% in order to maintain “well-capitalized” status as defined by banking regulations, while the Company must continue to maintain a total risk-based capital ratio above 10.5% in order to avoid restrictionsbusiness bankruptcies and are based on capital returns to shareholders and certain discretionary payments such as

the current environment.
We may recognize
credit losses in excess of

on: (i) the restrictions outlined in Title 12 part 208
actual performance of our portfolio, including the performance
of the Code of Federal Regulations (12 CFR 208.5), which places limitations on bank dividends, including restricting dividends formodified portfolio;
(ii) any year to the earnings from the current and prior two calendar years. Any dividends declared above that amount and any return of permanent capital would require prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors.

Rules governing our regulatory capital requirements give entities the option of delaying for two years the estimated impact of CECL on regulatory capital, followed by a three-year transition period to phase out the aggregate amount of capital benefit, or a five-year transition in total. We have elected to avail ourselves of the five-year transition option. See our current measurements of capital and further discussion of the measurements of regulatory capital during the delay and transition periods in Note 14, Stockholders’ Equitychanges in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. At March 31, 2020, Marlin Business Service Corp and MBB’s Tier 1 leverage ratio, common equity Tier 1 risk-based ratio, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio and total risk-based capital ratios exceeded the requirements for well-capitalized status.

Through June 30, 2020, the first round of modifications processed
for Equipment Finance generally consisted of adding three
months
of $0 payments, or fully deferred payments.
As a result, the weighted-average total contract yield for this population declined
by 35
basis points.
The extension requests we are currently processing for
Equipment Finance, to extend the term of the deferral of payments for other customers,to
up to 6
months total, are generally being processed to require a partial
payment during the deferral period, with such payments addedadditions to the endcustomers
post-deferral payments to achieve a consistent level of yield.
Through June 30, 2020, the contract term. Themodifications processed for Working
Capital have generally consisted of up to 6 months of partial-
payment deferral, with additions to the customers post-deferral
payments to achieve a consistent level of yield.
Through July 24, 2020, we processed modifications for each portfolio segment were $8.5an additional
$5.9 million of Equipment Finance $7.0net investment and additions
to the modified population for Working
Capital were not significant.
Portfolio Trends
During the three months ended June 30, 2020,
we generated 3,178 new Equipment Finance leases and loans with equipment
costs of
$64.6 million, compared to 7,648 new Equipment Finance leases and
loans with equipment costs of $181.8 million generated
for the
three months ended June 30, 2019.
Working Capital and $4.0loan
originations were less than $1.0 million of CVG net investment in leases and loans. The Company did not adjust its estimate of credit losses based on whether or not contracts were modified;during the Company’s allowance estimate assessesthree-month
period ended

compared to $27.5 million for the risk of credit loss for modified loans to be equal to loans that were not modified as of March 31, 2020.

Subsequent toquarter-end, through April 24, 2020, we have approved the payment deferral modification application for contracts representing an additional $134.5 million net investment in leases and loans. A portion of these modifications are subject to final processing and documentation.

Our origination volumes in total finance receivables at March 31, 2020 was $970.1 million, a decrease of $36.4 million, or 3.6%, from $1,006.5 million at December 31, 2019.

During the three

months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 we generated 5,863 new equipment finance leaseswere lower than our historical norms,
primarily driven by decreased demand attributable to
COVID-19
related business shutdowns and loans with equipment costs of $127.7 million, compared to 7,467 new equipment finance leases and loans with equipment costs of $169.8 million generated for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Working Capital loan originations were $26.2 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, an increase of $6.7 million, or 34.1%, as compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 2019.

In response to the potential impacts of theCOVID-19 pandemic and the slowing economy in the latter part of the first quarter, we tightened our underwriting standards for both our equipment finance and working capital products. other macroeconomic factors.

We expect our
origination volumes for the secondthird quarter of 2020 will
continue to be negatively impacted by these factors, and our
portfolio of receivables may continue to decline as long as our
origination
volumes are less than portfolio runoff.
Given the ongoing health crisis in the United States, especially the
recent COVID-19 flare-ups
in the south and west, any returns to normalpre-pandemic levels of activity
remains uncertain.

Represents a subset of modification requests where the customer contacted the Company to initiate a modification, but the request was not
processed.
This includes requests cancelled because the customer declined the revised terms or did not finalize documents, requests
declined by the Company, as well as an insignificant amount of requests that were in-process at the end of the second quarter.
Contracts that are part of the payment deferral modification program
will be reflected in our Delinquency and Non-Accrual measures
based on their performance against their modified terms.
Equipment Finance receivables over 30 days delinquent were
390 basis points as of June 30, 2020, up 208 basis points from March
31, 2020, and up 284 basis points from June 30, 2019.
Working Capital receivables
over 15 days delinquent were 438 basis points as
of June 30, 2020, up 183 basis points from March 31, 2020
and up 386 basis points from June 30, 2019.
Equipment Finance leases and loans are generally charged
-off when they are contractually past due for 120 days or
more.
Working
Capital loans are generally charged-off at 60
days past due. Annualized second quarter total net charge
-offs were 3.47% of average
total finance receivables versus 3.11%
in the first quarter of 2020 and 1.88% a year ago.
Through the end of the second quarter,
we have not yet begun to experience any material increase in charge
-offs driven by the impact
of COVID-19.
We are
continuing to evaluate the delinquency trends of the non-modified portfolio,
and we are monitoring the
payment performance of the modified portfolio as those customers
begin to resume payment. Based on their modified terms as
of June
30, 2020, 25% of our total modified contracts had already resumed
their regular payment schedule before the end of the second
quarter, 72% were scheduled to resume payment
in the third quarter and the remaining 3% were scheduled to resume
payment in the
fourth quarter.
We are
closely monitoring the payment performance of our customers as their
payments post-deferral become due.
While most modification extensions require partial payments, the ability
of these customers to resume their scheduled obligation of
their contract has yet to be confirmed.
Additionally, their ability to resume
payment may be highly impacted by the extent and
duration of the continued impacts of the pandemic, which remains
uncertain.
In accordance with interagency guidance as amended in April
2020, as affirmed by the FASB,
we are not accounting for our payment-
deferral modified loans as TDRs, and we are continuing to accrue
interest on those loans.
For the three months ended June 30, 2020,
we recognized total Interest income of $3.93 million on loans in our
COVID-19 loan modification program.

Income
recognition is discontinued on Equipment Finance leases or
loans, including CVG loans, when a default on monthly payment
exists
for a period of 90 days or more. Income recognition resumes
when the lease or loan becomes less than
90 days delinquent.
Working
Capital Loans are generally placed in non-accrual status when they
are 30 days past due. The loan is removed from non-accrual
status
once sufficient payments are made to bring the loan
current and evidence of a sustained performance period
as reviewed by
management.
The Company has no loans 90 days or more past due that were
still accruing interest for any of the periods presented.

As a result of theCOVID-19 pandemic, we have been continually
assessing the risks to our portfolio, including consideration
of high-riskhigh-
risk industries and geographic locations that are being more significantly
impacted by the spread ofCOVID-19.

While we are attempting to mitigate the impact of theCOVID-19 COVID
-19 pandemic on our portfolio, by tightening underwriting standards
for
areas of elevated risk and by assisting borrowers that have been negatively
impacted, the extent of the impacts ofCOVID-19 on our
portfolio remains uncertain.

The allowance for
credit losses as a
percentage of total finance
receivables increased to 5.19%
6.53% as of March 31,June
30, 2020,
from 2.15% as of
December 31,
2019.
This increase
in reserve
coverage is
primarily driven
by an
$11.9 million
increase from
the Company’s JanuaryJanu
ary 1,
2020
adoption of CECL, and an elevated
a $34.7 million Provision
for credit losses recognized for
as a result of
qualitative and forecast adjustments
in the three
six months ended March 31, June 30,
2020 primarily as a result of the estimated impact to the portfolio from the
COVID-19
pandemic.
Provision for credit
losses
.
The provision for
credit losses recognized
after the adoption
of CECL is
primarily driven
by origination volumes,
offset by
the
reversal of the
allowance for any
contracts sold, plus
adjustments for changes
in estimate each
subsequent reporting period.
For
2020, given
the wide
changes in
the macroeconomic
environment driven
by COVID
-19, the
changes in
estimate is
the most
significant driver
of provision.
In contrast, the
allowance estimate
recognized in
2019 under
the probable,
incurred model
was
based on the current estimate of probable net credit
losses inherent in the portfolio.
For the three months ended
June 30,
2020, the $18.8 million provision
for credit losses recognized was
$14.0 million greater than
the $4.8
million provision recognized
for the three
months ended
June 30,
2019.
For the
six months ended
June 30,
2020, the
$44.0 million provision for
credit losses recognized was
$33.9 million greater than
the $10.1 million provision
recognized for the
three months ended
June 30, 2019.
The provision included
COVID-related forecast and
qualitative adjustments of
$15.5 million
for the three months ended June 30, 2020, and $34.7 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2020.
Our estimate
of COVID
-related losses
for the
Equipment Finance
portfolio is
primarily driven
by updates
to a
reasonable and
supportable forecast based
on the modeled
correlation of changes
in the loss
experience of the
our portfolio to
certain economic
statistics, specifically
changes in
the unemployme
nt rate
and changes
in the
number of
business bankruptcies.
Our COVID-
provision for
Equipment Finance
was $10.8
million for the
first quarter
of 2020,
and $10.1
million for the
second quarter,
and
those provision levels
were calculated using
a 6-month period
for the economic
statistics.
In the second
quarter, the
increase in
provision estimate was driven
by the forecasted economic
conditions getting worse than
what was expected at
the end of the first
quarter.
In addition, as of June 30,
we further increased our reserve for
a $3.4 million qualitative adjustment
based on an analysis
that incorporates the current forecasted peak levels of unemployment
and business bankruptcy.
-51-
For the CVG and Working
Capital portfolio segments, our estimate
of increased losses is
based on qualitative adjustments,
taking
into consideration alternative
scenarios to determine
the Company’s
estimate of the
probable impact of
the economic shutdown.
The COVID-related provision for CVG was $2.8
million for the first quarter of 2020, and
$0.4 million for the second quarter.
The
COVID-related provision
for Working
Capital was
$5.5 million
for the
first quarter
of 2020,
and $1.5
million for
the second
quarter.
The qualitative and economic
adjustments to our allowance
take into consideration information
and our judgments
as of June 30,
2020, and are
based in part
on an expectation
for the extent
and timing of
impacts from COVID
-19 on unemployment
rates and
business bankruptcies, and
are based on
our current expectations
of the performance
of our portfolio
in the current
environment.
The COVID-19 pandemic,
and related business
shutdowns, is still
ongoing, and the
extent of the
effects of the
pandemic on our
portfolio depends on future developments, which
are highly uncertain and are difficult
to predict.
We may recognize
credit losses
in excess of
our reserve,
or increases
to our
credit loss estimate,
in the future,
and such increases
may be significant,
based on
future developments.
Net Charge-offs.
Equipment Finance
and TFG
receivables are
generally charged
-off when
they are
contractually past
due for
120 days
or more.
Working Capital receivables
are generally charged-off at 60 days past
due.
Total portfolio
net charge
-offs for
the three
months ended
June 30
,
2020 were
$8.5 million
(3.47%
of average
total finance
receivables on an
annualized basis), compared
to $7.7 million
(3.00%) for the
three months ended
December 31, 2019
,
and $4.9
million (1.8
8%) for
the three
months ended
June 30
,
2019.
Compared to
the same
quarter of
the prior
year, the
Company is
experiencing elevated
net charge
-offs, due
primarily to
economic headwinds
that already
existed as of
December 31,
2019 that
were disproportionally impacting the small business and lower
credit quality borrowers in
our portfolio.
Through the end of the second quarter,
our charge-offs are only slightly elevated compared
to the levels in December.
We believe
we have not yet begun to experience the full impact of expected
levels of elevated charge-offs as a result of the
COVID-19
pandemic.
However, we are seeing portfolio trends
that indicate that we will begin to realize those elevated
levels in the third
quarter of 2020.
As of June 30, 2020, our portfolio delinquency rates have doubled
from the quarter ended March 31, 2020, or a
$13.1 million increase in Equipment Finance leases and loans 60+
days past due, and $0.5 million increase in Working
capital
loans 30+ past due.
Further, a large amount of our
portfolio is under deferred payment through our modification program,
as
discussed above.
We are
continually monitoring the performance of our portfolio and assessing all related
risks to ensure that our
allowance estimate is sufficient to cover the expected
losses from COVID-19.
See further discussion below.

with the Provision above

about the risks to our reserve estimate, and discussion with Portfolio
Trends above about current delinquency levels.
Residual Income.
Residual income
includes income
from lease
renewals and
gains and
losses on
the realization
of residual
values of
leased
equipment disposed at
the end of term
In 2019 and
prior years, t
he Company had previously
recognized residual income
within
Fee Income
in its
Consolidated Statement
s
of Operations;
the adoption
of CECL
results in
any realized
amounts of
residual
income being
captured as
a component
of the
activity of
the allowance
because the
Company’s estimate
of credit
losses under
CECL takes into consideration all cashflows the Company expects
to receive or derive from the pools of contracts.
Adoption of ASU2016-13 / CECL.

Effective January 1,
2020, we adopted
new guidance for accounting
for our allowance,
or ASU 2016
-13, Financial Instruments
-
Credit Losses
(Topic
326): Measurement
of Credit
Losses on
Financial Instruments
(“CECL”).
CECL replaces
the probable/
incurred loss
model that
we historically
used to
measure our
allowance, with
a measurement
of expected
credit losses
for the
contractual term
of our
current portfolio
of loans
and leases.
Under CECL,
an allowance,
or estimate
of credit
losses, will be
recognized immediately
upon the origination
of a loan
or lease,
and will be
adjusted in each
subsequent reporting
period.
This
estimate of credit losses takes into consideration
all remaining cashflows the Company expects
to receive or derive from the pools
of contracts, including
recoveries after
charge-off, accrued
interest receivable and
certain future cashflows
from residual assets.
The provision
for credit
losses recognized
in our Consolidated
Statements of Operations
under CECL,
starting in
2020, will
be
primarily driven
by origination
volumes, offset
by the
reversal of
the allowance
for any
contracts sold,
plus adjustments
for
changes in
estimate each

, for discussion
of our election
to delay for
two-years the effect
of
CECL on regulatory capital, followed by a three-year phase
-in, or a five-year total transition.
Our recorded allowance
reflects our current
estimate of the
expected credit losses
of all contracts
currently in portfolio,
based on our
current assessment of information regarding the risks of our current portfolio,
default and collection trends, a reasonable and
supportable forecast
of economic
factors, qualitative
adjustments based
on our
best estimate
of expected
losses for
certain portfolio
segments, among
other internal
and external
factors.
Our allowance
measurement is
an estimate,
is inherently
uncertain, and
is
reassessed at each measurement date.
Actual performance of our portfolio and updates to other information
involved in our
assessment may drive
changes in modeled
assumptions, may cause
management to adjust
the allowance estimate
through qualitative
adjustments and/or may result in actual losses that vary significantly from
of our current estimate.

Comparison of the Three-Month Periods Ended June 30,
2020 and June 30, 2019
Net income.
Net loss of $5.9 million was reported for the three-month period
ended June 30, 2020,
resulting in diluted loss per share of $0.50,
compared to net income of $6.1 million and diluted EPS of $0.49
for the three-month period ended June 30, 2019.
This $12.0 million
decrease in Net income was primarily driven by:
-
($14.1 million) increase in Provision for credit losses, primarily driven
by updates to the Company’s
estimate, reflecting
forecasted economic conditions from
COVID-19 pandemic.
The Company adopted CECL on January 1, 2020 which
substantially changed its methodology for measuring the estimate of credit
loss.
See further discussion of the Provision and
the change in measurement in the prior section “—
Finance Receivables and Asset Quality”;
-
$3.9 million decrease in Interest and fee income, driven primarily by
a decline in the size of our finance receivable portfolio;
-
$3.3 million decrease in gains on leases and loans sold due to
a decrease in assets sold resulting from disruptions in the
capital markets during this current economic environment;
-
$4.8 million decrease in Salaries and benefits, driven primarily by lower
Commissions, Incentives and the Company’s
proactive cost reduction measures.

Total finance receivables include net investment in leases and loans.
For the calculations above, the effects of (i) the allowance for credit losses
and (ii) initial direct costs and fees deferred are excluded.
Net interest and fee income decreased $2.9 million, or 12.0%,
to $21.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020
from $24.2
million for the three months ended June 30, 2019.
The annualized net interest and fee margin decreased 70
basis points to 8.68% in the
three-month period ended June 30, 2020 from 9.38% for the corresponding
period in 2019.
Interest income, net of amortized initial direct costs and fees,
was $24.2 million and $27.1 million for the three-month periods
ended
June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, respectively.
Average total
finance receivables decreased $52.5 million, or 5.1%,
to $979.3 million
at June 30, 2020 from $1,031.8 million at June 30, 2019
.
The decrease in average total finance receivables was primarily
due to lower
origination volume along with the customary loan repayments
and charge-offs. The average yield on the portfolio
decreased 60 basis
points to 9.90% from 10.50% in the prior year quarter.
The weighted average implicit interest rate on new finance receivables
originated decreased 378 basis points to 9.17% for
the three-month period ended June 30, 2020 compared to 12.95%
for the three-
month period ended June 30, 2019.
That decrease was primarily driven by a shift in the mix of originations
as higher-yield Working
Capital originations comprised 1% of our originations for the six months
ended June 30, 2020, compared to 13% in 2019.
The
reduction in Working Capital
volume is driven by our tightening of underwriting standards
in the second quarter in response to the
uncertain macroeconomic environment.
Given the ongoing health crisis in the United States, especially
the COVID-19 flare-ups in the
south and west, any returns to pre-pandemic levels of origination
activity, and our ability to
replenish or grow our portfolio, remains
uncertain.
Fee income was $2.5 million and $3.5 million for the three-month periods
ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019,
respectively. Fee
income included approximately $0.9 million of net residual
income for the three-month period ended June 30,
2019.
For 2020, after
the adoption of CECL, all future cashflows from the Company’s
pools of loans are included in the measurement of the allowance,
including future cashflows from net residual income.
Amounts of residual income are presented within the rollforward
of the
Allowance, as discussed further in “—Finance Receivables and
Asset Quality”
Fee income also included approximately $1.8 million and $2.0
million in late fee income for the three-month periods ended
June 30,
2020 and June 30, 2019,
respectively. Late fees remained
the largest component of fee income at 0.69% as an annualized
percentage
of average total finance receivables for the three-month period
ended June 30, 2020,
compared to 0.78% for the three-month period
ended June 30, 2019.
-57-
Interest expense decreased $1.0 million to $5.4 million for the
three-month period ended June 30, 2020 from $6.4 million for
the
corresponding period in 2019, primarily due to a decrease
in interest expense of $0.6 million on lower outstanding long
-term
borrowings offset by an increase of $0.3 million on higher
deposit balances. Interest expense, as an annualized percentage
of average
total finance receivables, decreased 26 basis points to 2.22%
for the three-month period ended June 30, 2020,
from 2.48% for the
corresponding period in 2019.
The average balance of deposits was $943.9 million and $866.0
million for the three-month periods
ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019,
respectively.
For the three-month period ended June 30, 2020,
average term securitization borrowings outstanding were $57.0
million at a weighted
average coupon of 4.30%.
For the three-month period ended June 30, 2019, average term securitization
borrowings outstanding were
$120.4 million at a weighted average coupon of 4.01%.
Our wholly-owned subsidiary,
MBB, serves as our primary funding source. MBB raises fixed
-rate and variable-rate FDIC-insured
deposits via the brokered certificates of deposit market, on a direct
basis, and through the brokered MMDA Product. At June 30,
2020,
brokered certificates of deposit represented approximately 52%
of total deposits, while approximately 43% of total deposits were
obtained from direct channels, and 6% were in the brokered
MMDA Product.
Gain on Sale of Leases and Loans.
Gain on sale of leases and loans was $0.1 million for the three
-month period ended June 30,
2020,
compared to $3.3 million for the three-month period ended June 30,
2019.
Assets sold decreased to $1.1 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $57.6 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2019.
Our sales execution decisions, including the timing, volu
me and frequency of such sales, depend on many factors including our
origination volumes, the characteristics of our contracts versus
market requirements, our current assessment of our balance
sheet
composition and capital levels, and current market conditions,
among other factors.
In the current slowing economy resulting from the
COVID-19 pandemic, we may have difficulty accessing
the capital market and may find decreased interest and ability
of
counterparties to purchase our contracts, or we may be unable
to negotiate terms acceptable to us.
Insurance premiums written and earned.
Insurance premiums written remained flat at $2.2 million for the three
-month periods ended
June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019.
Other income.
Other income was $1.5 million and $1.7 million for the three-month periods
ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019,
respectively. The decrease
in other income was primarily driven by a $0.2 million decrease
in servicing income.
Salaries and benefits expense.

June 30, 2020 from
$12.5 million for the corresponding period in 2019
.
In mid-April 2020, we began efforts to tighten our expense base
in response
COVID-19, putting approximately 120 employees on furlough.
In June, we made the decision to permanently reduce our
workforce
by approximately 80 employees, which reduced our headcount to
approximately 250 employees at the end of July,
down from
approximately 350 employees as of December 31, 2019.
As such, our salary expense is $1.7 million lower than the three months
ended June 30, 2019,
primarily driven by reduced headcount from the furlough, partially offset
by $0.9 million of severance
recognized.
Incentive compensation decreased $2.0 million, driven by lower
recognized bonus and share-based compensation amounts
driven by
the Company’s operating results,
including reversing $0.7 million of expense associated with performance
-based RSU awards that are
-58-
now assessed as not probable of achievement.
The decrease in Commissions for the three months ended June
30, 2020 reflects a
lower amount of commission earned driven by 69% lower origination
volumes, which was fully offset by an annual commission
true-
up adjustment in 2020.

Provision for income taxes.
Income tax benefit of $1.4 million was recorded for the three-month period
ended June 30, 2020,
compared to expense of $2.0 million for the three-month period
ended June 30, 2019.
Our effective tax rate was 18.9% for the three-
month period ended June 30, 2020,
driven by a limitation on the recognition of tax benefits when measuring
the provision on a loss
position in an interim period under ASC 740.

Comparison of the Six-Month Periods Ended June 30, 2020
and June 30, 2019
Net income.
Net loss of $17.7 million was reported for the six-month period

resulting in diluted loss per share of $1.50,
compared to net income of $11.3 million and diluted
EPS of $0.91 for the six-month period ended June 30,
2019. This $29.0 million
decrease in Net income was primarily driven by:
-
($33.8 million) increase in Provision for credit losses, primarily driven
by updates to the Company’s
estimate, reflecting
forecasted economic conditions from COVID-19 pandemic.
The Company adopted CECL on January 1, 2020 which
substantially changed its methodology for measuring the estimate of credit
loss.

Changes due to volume and rate are calculated independently for
each line item presented rather than presenting vertical subtotals
for the individual volume and rate columns.
Changes attributable to changes in volume represent changes in average
balances
multiplied by the prior period’s
average rates. Changes attributable to changes in rate represent changes
in average rates
multiplied by the prior year’s average balances. Changes
attributable to the combined impact of volume and rate
have been
allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and the

(1)
Total finance receivables
include net investment in leases and loans.
For the calculations above, the effects of (i)
the allowance
for credit losses and (ii) initial direct costs and fees deferred are
excluded.
Net interest and fee income decreased $3.3 million, or 6.9%
,
to $44.8 million for the six-month period ended June 30,
2020 from
$48.1 million for the six-month period ended June 30,
2019. The annualized net interest and fee margin decreased
46 basis points to
9.02% in the six-month period ended June 30, 2020
from 9.48% for the corresponding period in 2019.
Interest income, net of amortized initial direct costs and fees,
decreased $2.3 million, or 4.3%, to $50.7 million for the six-month
period ended June 30, 2020 from $53.0 million for the six-month period
ended June 30, 2019.
The decrease in interest income was
principally due to a
decrease in average yield of 23 basis points and by a 2.1%
decrease in average total finance receivables, which
decreased $21.5 million to $994.1 million for the six-months ended
June 30, 2020 from $1,015.6 million for the six-months ended
June 30, 2019.
The decrease in average total finance receivables was primarily due
to lower origination volume along with the
customary loan repayments and charge-offs
.
The weighted average implicit interest rate on new finance receivables
originated
decreased 140 basis points to 11.46%
for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020,
compared to 12.86% for the six-month period
ended June 30, 2019.
That decrease was primarily driven by a shift in the mix of originations
as higher-yield Working
Capital
originations comprised 11% of our originations
for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to 13%
in 2019.
As our origination
volumes have been negatively impacted by the COVID
-19 pandemic, our portfolio of finance receivables and related incomes
may
continue to decline. Any returns to normal levels of origination activity,
and our ability to replenish or grow our portfolio,
remains
uncertain.
Fee income was $5.2 million and $7.5 for the six-month periods
ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019,
respectively. Fee income
included approximately $1.9 million of residual income for the
six-month period ended June 30, 2019.
For 2020, after the adoption of
CECL, all future cashflows from the Company’s
pools of loans are included in the measurement of the allowance,
including future
cashflows from net residual income.
Amounts of residual income are presented within the rollforward
of the Allowance, as discussed
further in “—Finance Receivables and Asset Quality”.
-63-
Fee income also included approximately $3.9 million in late fee income
for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020,
which
decreased 9.3% from $4.3 million for the six-month period ended
June 30, 2019.
Late fees remained the largest component of fee
income at 0.77% as an annualized percentage of average total finance receivables
for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020,
compared to 0.86% for the six-month period ended June 30,
2019.
Interest expense decreased $1.3 million to $11.1
million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 from $12.4
for the
corresponding period in 2019.
The decrease of $1.3 million was primarily due to a $1.0
million decrease in term securitization interest,
and a $0.2 million decrease in transaction costs. Interest expense,
as an annualized percentage of average total finance receivables,
decreased 21 basis points to 2.23% for the six-month period
ended June 30, 2020,
from 2.44% for the corresponding period in 2019.
The average balance of deposits was $891.2 million and $837.9
million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and June 30,
2019,
respectively.
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2020,
average term securitization borrowings outstanding were $63.4
million at a weighted
average coupon of 4.27%.
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2019,
average term securitization borrowings outstanding were
$130.5 million at a weighted average coupon of 3.96%
Our wholly-owned subsidiary,
MBB, serves as our primary funding source. MBB raises fixed
-rate and variable-rate FDIC-insured
deposits via the brokered certificates of deposit market, on a direct
basis, and through the brokered MMDA Product. At
June 30, 2020,
brokered certificates of deposit represented approximately 52%
of total deposits, while approximately 43% of total deposits were
obtained from direct channels, and 6% were in the brokered
MMDA Product.
Gain on Sale of Leases and Loans.
Gain on sale of leases and loans was 2.3 million for the six-month period
ended June 30, 2020,
compared to 6.9 million for the six-month period ended
June 30, 2019 due to a decline in assets sold to $24.1 million for the six-
month period ended June 30, 2020 from $110.5
million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019.
Our sales execution decisions, including the timing, volume and
frequency of such sales, depend on many factors including our
origination volumes, the characteristics of our contracts versus
market requirements, our current assessment of our balance
sheet
composition and capital levels, and current market conditions,
among other factors.
In the current slowing economy resulting from the
COVID-19 pandemic, we may have difficulty accessing
the capital market and may find decreased interest and ability
of
counterparties to purchase our contracts, or we may be unable
to negotiate terms acceptable to us.
Insurance premiums written and earned.
Insurance premiums written and earned remained relatively flat at $4.5
million for the six-
month period ended June 30, 2020,
from $4.3 million for the six-month period ended June 30,
2019.
Other income.
Other income remained consistent at $9.1 million and $8.9 million for
the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and
June 30, 2019,
respectively.
Salaries and benefits expense.

Salaries and benefits expense in total decreased $6.7 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the corresponding
period in 2019.
In mid-April 2020, we began efforts to tighten our expense base
in response COVID-19, putting approximately 120
employees on furlough.
In June, we made the decision to permanently reduce our workforce
by approximately 80 employees, which
reduced our headcount to approximately 250 employees at the
end of July, down from approximately
350 employees as of December
-64-
31, 2019.
As such, our salary expense was $1.4 million lower for the six-months
ended June 30, 2020 than for the six months ended
June 30, 2019,
primarily driven by reduced headcount from the furlough, partially offset
by $0.9 million of severance recognized.
Incentive compensation decreased $3.5 million, driven by lower
recognized bonus and share-based compensation amounts
primarily
driven by the Company’s operating
results, including reversing $0.7 million of expense associated
with performance-based RSU
awards that are now assessed as not probable of achievement.
Commissions decreased $2.7 million primarily driven by a 45%
decrease in origination volume.

General and administrative expense of $19.4 million for the six months

from the corresponding period in 2019.
General and administrative expense as an annualized percentage of average
total finance
receivables was 3.56% for the six-month period ended
June 30, 2020,
compared to 3.82% for the six-month period ended June 30,
2019.
Goodwill impairment.
In the first quarter of 2020, driven by negative current events related
to the COVID-19 economic shutdown,
our market capitalization falling below book value and other
related impacts, we analyzed goodwill for impairment.
We concluded
that the implied fair value of goodwill was less than it’s
carrying amount, and recognized impairment equal to the entire $6.7
million
balance in the six months ended June 30, 2020.
Provision for income taxes.
Income tax benefit of 8.8 million was recorded for the six-month period
ended June 30, 2020,
compared
to expense of $3.6 million for the six-month period ended
June 30, 2019.
Our effective tax rate from measuring our benefit for
the six months ended June 30, 2020 was 33.2%,
driven by a $3.2 million discrete
benefit from certain provisions in the CARES Act that allowed
for remeasuring our federal net operating losses.
The impact to our
effective rate from that benefit was partially offset
by a limitation on the amount of tax benefits that can be recognized
in an interim
period under ASC 740.

L
IQUIDITY AND
C
APITAL
R
ESOURCES
Our business requires a substantial amount of liquidity and capital
to operate and grow. Our
primary liquidity need is to fund new
originations; however, we also utilize liquidity
for our financing needs (including our deposits and long term deposits),
to fund
infrastructure and technology investment, to pay dividends and
to pay administrative and other non-interest expenses.
As a result of the uncertainties surrounding the actual and potential impacts
of COVID-19 on our business and financial condition, in
the first quarter of 2020 we raised additional liquidity through the issuance
of FDIC-insured deposits and we increased our borrowing
capacity at the Federal Reserve Discount Window.
We are
dependent upon the availability of financing from a variety of funding
sources to satisfy these liquidity needs. Historically,
we
have relied upon five principal types of external funding sources
for our operations:
FDIC-insured deposits issued by our wholly-owned subsidiary,
MBB;
borrowings under various bank facilities;
financing of leases and loans in various warehouse facilities (all
of which have since been repaid in full);
financing of leases through term note securitizations; and
• sale of leases and loans through our capital markets capabilities.
Deposits issued by MBB represent our primary funding source
for new originations, primarily through the issuance of FDIC insured
deposits.
MBB also offers an FDIC-insured MMDA Product
as another source of deposit funding. This product is offered
through participation
in a partner bank’s insured savings
account product to clients of that bank.
It is a brokered account with a variable interest rate,
recorded as a single deposit account at MBB. Over time, MBB
may offer other products and services to the Company’s
customer base.
MBB is a Utah state-chartered, Federal Reserve member commercial
bank. As such, MBB is supervised by both the Federal
Reserve
Bank of San Francisco and the Utah Department of Financial
Institutions.
We declared
a dividend of $0.14 per share on April 30, 2020.
The quarterly dividend was paid on May 21, 2020 to shareholders
of
record on the close of business on May 11,
2020,
which resulted in a dividend payment of approximately $1.7 million. It
represented
the Company’s thirty-fifth consecutive
quarterly cash dividend.
At June 30, 2020,
we had approximately $25.0 million of available borrowing capacity from
a federal funds line of credit with a
correspondent bank in addition to available cash and cash equivalents
of $211.7 million. This amount excludes ad
ditional liquidity that
may be provided by the issuance of insured deposits through
MBB.
Our debt to equity ratio was 5.27 to 1 at June 30,
2020 and 4.26 to 1 at December 31, 2019.
Net cash provided by investing activities was $32.6 million for
the six-month period ended June 30, 2020,
compared to net cash used
in investing activities of $76.0 million for the six-month period
ended June 30, 2019.
The increase in cash outflows from investing
activities is primarily due to a decrease of $180.4 million for
purchases of equipment for lease contracts partially offset by
a reduction
of $66.1 million in proceeds from sales of leases originated for
investment. The decrease in purchases of equipment was driven
by
lower origination volumes for the six months ended June 30
,
2020 compared to the corresponding period of 2019, and
the reduction in
proceeds from sales was driven by lower volumes of sales.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $29.7 million for
the six-month period ended June 30, 2020,
compared to net cash
provided by financing activities of $85.7 million for the six-month period
ended June 30, 2019.
The decrease in cash flows from
financing activities is primarily due to a decrease of $69.8
million in deposits offset by a decrease of $15.4
million of term
securitization repayments.
Financing activities also include transactions related to
the Company’s payment of divi
dends.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $25.4 million for
the six-month period ended June 30, 2020,
compared to net cash
provided by operating activities of $27.0 million for the six-month period
ended June 30, 2019.
Transactions affecting net
cash
provided by operating activities including goodwill impairment,
provision
for credit losses, changes in income tax liability and leases
originated for sale and proceeds thereof are discussed in detail in the
notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
-66-
We expect
cash from operations, additional borrowings on existing and future
credit facilities and funds from deposits issued through
brokers, direct deposit sources,
and the MMDA Product to be adequate to support our operations and
projected growth for the next 12
months and the foreseeable future.
Total
Cash and Cash Equivalents.
Our objective is to maintain an adequate level of cash, investing
any free cash in leases and loans.
We primarily fund
our originations and growth using FDIC-insured deposits issued
through MBB. Total
cash and cash equivalents
available as of June 30, 2020 totaled $211.7
million, compared to $123.1 million at December 31, 2019
.
Time Deposits with Banks.
Time deposits with banks are primarily composed
of FDIC-insured certificates of deposits that have
original maturity dates of greater than 90 days. Generally,
the certificates of deposits have the ability to redeem early,
however, early
redemption penalties may be incurred. Total
time deposits as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 totaled
$9.9 million and $12.9
million, respectively.
Restricted Interest-Earning Deposits with Banks
. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019
,
we had $6.1 million and $6.9 million,
respectively, of cash that was
classified as restricted interest-earning deposits with banks. Restricted
interest-earning deposits with
banks consist primarily of various trust accounts related to our secured
debt facilities. Therefore, these balances generally
decline as
the term securitization borrowings are repaid.
Borrowings.
Our primary borrowing relationship requires the pledging of
eligible lease and loan receivables to secure amounts
advanced. Our secured borrowings amounted to $51.2
million at June 30, 2020 and $76.6 million at December 31, 2019
.

Federal Funds Line of Credit with Correspondent Bank
MBB has established a federal funds line of credit with a correspondent
bank. This line allows for both selling and purchasing of
federal funds. The amount that can be drawn against the line
is limited to $25.0 million.
Federal Reserve Discount Window
In addition, MBB has received approval to borrow from the
Federal Reserve Discount Window based on the
amount of assets MBB
chooses to pledge. MBB had $50.2 million in unused, secured

,
based on
$56.3 million of net investment in leases pledged at June 30,
2020.
Term
Note Securitizations
On July 27, 2018 we completed a $201.7 million asset-backed
term securitization. It provides the company with fixed-cost borrowing
with the objective of diversifying its funding sources and is recorded
in long-term borrowings in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
In connection with this securitization transaction, we transferred
leases to our bankruptcy remote special purpose wholly-owned
subsidiary (“SPE”) and issued term debt collateralized
by such commercial leases to institutional investors in a private securities
offering. The SPE is considered variable interest entit
y
(“VIE”) under U.S. GAAP.
We continue to
service the assets of our VIE and
retain equity and/or residual interests. Accordingly,
assets and related debt of the VIE is included in the accompanying
Consolidated
Balance Sheets.
At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 outstanding term securitizations
amounted to $50.9 million and $76.1
million, respectively and the Company was in compliance with terms
of the term note securitization agreement. See Note 10
– Debt
and Financing Arrangements in the accompanying Consolidated
Financial Statements for detailed information regarding of our term
note securitization
Bank Capital and Regulatory Oversight
We are
subject to regulation under the Bank Holding Company Act and all of our
subsidiaries may be subject to examination by the
Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia
even if not otherwise regulated by the Federal Reserve Board.
MBB is also subject to comprehensive federal and state regulations
dealing with a wide variety of subjects, including minimum capital
standards, reserve requirements, terms on which a bank may engage
in transactions with its affiliates, restrictions as
to dividend
payments and numerous other aspects of its operations.
These regulations generally have been adopted
to protect depositors and
creditors rather than shareholders.
At June 30, 2020,
Marlin Business Service Corp and MBB’s
Tier 1 leverage ratio, common equity Tier
1 risk-based ratio, Tier 1 risk-
based capital ratio and total risk-based capital ratios exceeded
the requirements for well-capitalized status.
See “Management’s
Discussion and Analysis

for discussion
of updates
to our
capital requirements
driven by
the termination
of the

Items Subsequent to June 30, 2020
The Company declared a dividend of 0.14 per share on July
30, 2020. The quarterly dividend, which is expected to
result in a dividend
payment of approximately 1.7 million, is scheduled to be paid
on August 20, 2020 to shareholders of record on the close of business
on August 10, 2020.
It represents the Company’s thirty-sixth
consecutive quarterly cash dividend. The payment of future dividends
will be subject to approval by the Company’s
Board of Directors.

MARKET INTEREST RATE
RISK AND SENSITIVITY
Market risk is the risk of losses arising from changes in values of financial
instruments. We
engage in transactions in the normal
course of business that expose us to market risks. We
attempt to mitigate such risks through prudent management practices
and
strategies such as attempting to match the expected cash flows of
our assets and liabilities.
We are
exposed to market risks associated with changes in interest rates and
our earnings may fluctuate with changes in interest rates.
The lease and loan assets we originate are almost entirely fixed
-rate. Accordingly, we generally
seek to finance these assets primarily
with fixed interest certificates of deposit issued by MBB,
and to a lesser extent through the variable rate MMDA Product
at MBB.

A
CCOUNTING
P
OLICIES
There have been no significant changes to our Critical Accounting Policies
as described in our Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2019,
other than as discussed below.
Allowance for credit losses.
For 2019 and prior, we maintained an allowance
for credit losses at an amount sufficient to absorb
losses inherent in our existing lease
and loan portfolios as of the reporting dates based on our estimate of probable
incurred net credit losses in accordance with the
Contingencies
Topic of the FASB
ASC.
See further discussion of our policy under the incurred
model in the “Critical Accounting
Policy” section of our 2019 Form 10-K.
Effective January 1, 2020, we adopted new guidance for accounting for our allowance, or ASU2016-13, 2016
-13, Financial Instruments—Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic
326): Measurement of Credit
Losses on Financial Instruments (“CECL”). , which changed our
accounting policy and estimated allowance.
CECL replaces the probable/
probable, incurred loss model that we historically used to measure our allowance, with a measurement of expected
credit losses for the contractual term of our the Company’s
current
portfolio of loans and leases. Under
After the adoption of CECL, an allowance, or estimate of credit
losses, will be recognized immediately
upon the origination of a loan or lease, and will be adjusted in each subsequent reporting period. This estimate of credit losses takes into consideration all remaining cashflows the Company expects to receive or derive from the pools of contracts, including recoveries aftercharge-off, accrued interest receivable and certain future cashflows from residual assets. The provision for credit losses recognized in our Consolidated Statements of Operations under CECL, starting in 2020, will be primarily driven by origination volumes, offset by the reversal of the allowance for any contracts sold, plus adjustments for changes in estimate each subsequent
reporting period including adjustments for economic forecasts within a reasonable and supportable time period.

The impact of adopting CECL effective January 1, 2020 included a $11.9 million increase to the allowance, an $8.9 million decrease to Retained earnings and $3.0 million impact to our Net deferred income tax liability.

See Note 2 –Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, for further discussion of the adoption of this accounting standard, and see Note 6 –Allowance for Credit Losses, for further discussion of the Company’s methodology for measuring its allowance as of the adoption date.

See –Executive Summary and Note 13 –Stockholders’ Equity, for discussion of our election to delay fortwo-years the effect of CECL on regulatory capital, followed by a three-yearphase-in, or a five-year total transition.

Provision for credit losses.

For 2020, the provision for credit losses recognized under CECL is primarily driven by origination volumes, offset by the reversal of the allowance for any contracts sold, plus adjustments for changes in estimate each subsequent reporting period. In contrast, the allowance estimate recognized under the probable, incurred model was based on the current estimate of probable net credit losses inherent in the portfolio.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the $25.2 million provision for credit losses recognized was $19.8 million greater than the $5.4 million provision recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The provision for the first quarter of 2020 included $19.1 million of additions to the provision driven by updates to the Company’s estimate driven by changes in economic conditions related toCOVID-19. In particular, the Company’s estimate of increased losses in its Equipment Finance portfolio is driven by updates to a reasonable and supportable forecast based on the modeled correlation of changes in the loss experience of the Company’s portfolio to certain economic statistics, specifically changes in the unemployment rate and changes in the number of business bankruptcies. For the CVG and Working Capital portfolio segments, the Company’s estimate of increased losses was based on qualitative adjustments, taking into consideration alternative scenarios to determine the Company’s estimate of the probable impact of the economic shutdown.

TheCOVID-19 pandemic, and related business shutdowns, is still ongoing, and the extent of the effects of the pandemic on our portfolio depends on future developments, which are highly uncertain and are difficult to predict. The qualitative and economic adjustments to our allowance take into consideration information and our judgments as of March 31, 2020, and are based in part on an expectation for the extent and timing of impacts from COVID-19 on unemployment rates and business bankruptcies, and are based on our current expectations of the performance of our portfolio in the current environment. We may recognize credit losses in excess of our reserve, or increases to our credit loss estimate, in the future, and such increases may be significant, based on future developments.

Net Charge-offs.

Equipment Finance and TFG receivables are generallycharged-off when they are contractually past due for 120 days or more. Working Capital receivables are generallycharged-off at 60 days past due.

Total portfolio net charge-offs for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were $7.8 million (3.11% of average total finance receivables on an annualized basis), compared to $5.6 million (3.00%) for the three months ended December 31, 2019, and $4.6 million (1.83%) for the three months ended March 31, 2019. In the second half of 2019 and early in the first quarter of 2020, we observed certain economic headwinds that were disproportionally impacting the small business and lower credit quality borrowers in our portfolio. Those economic conditions deteriorated significantly driven by the end of March 2020, as the impact ofCOVID-19 developed; as a result, the Company is experiencing elevated net-chargeoffs compared to the same quarter in the prior year.

As discussed above, we implemented a payment deferral modification program in March 2020, to respond to our borrower’s needs related to the impacts ofCOVID-19. There can be no assurances that such efforts to modify contracts will be successful in mitigating any risk of credit loss or futurecharge-off of such contracts.

Residual Income.

Residual income includes income from lease renewals and gains and losses on the realization of residual values of leased equipment disposed at the end of term In 2019 and prior years, the Company had previously recognized residual income within Fee Income in its Consolidated Statements of Operations; the adoption of CECL results in any realized amounts of residual income being captured as a component of the activity of the allowance because the Company’s estimate of credit losses under CECL takes into consideration all cashflows the Company expects to receive or derive from the pools of contracts.

Our recorded allowance reflects our current estimate of the expected credit losses of all contracts currently in portfolio, based on our current assessment of information regarding the risks of our current portfolio, default and collection trends, a reasonable and supportable forecast of economic factors, qualitative adjustments based on our best estimate of expected losses for certain portfolio segments, among other internal and external factors. Our allowance measurement is an estimate, is inherently uncertain, and is reassessed at each

-49-


measurement date. Actual performance of our portfolio and updates to other information involved in our assessment may drive changes in modeled assumptions, may cause management to adjust the allowance estimate through qualitative adjustments and/or may result in actual losses that vary significantly from of our current estimate.

Non-Accrual.

The following table summarizesnon-accrual leases and loans in the Company’s portfolio:

Net investments in finance receivables are generallycharged-off when they are contractually past due for 120 days or more. Income recognition is discontinued on Equipment Finance leases or loans, including CVG loans, when a default on monthly payment exists for a period of 90 days or more. Income recognition resumes when the lease or loan becomes less than 90 days delinquent.

Working Capital Loans are generally placed innon-accrual status when they are 30 days past due. The loan is removed fromnon-accrual status once sufficient payments are made to bring the loan current and evidence of a sustained performance period as reviewed by management.

The Company has no loans 90 days or more past due that were still accruing interest for any of the periods presented above.

RESULTSOF OPERATIONS

Comparison of the Three-Month Periods Ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019

Net income.

Net loss of $11.8 million was reported for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, resulting in diluted loss per share of $1.00, compared to net income of $5.1 million and diluted EPS of $0.41 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019. This $16.9 million decrease in Net income was primarily driven by:

($19.7 million) increase in Provision for credit losses, primarily driven by updates to the Company’s estimate, reflecting forecasted economic conditions fromCOVID-19 pandemic. The Company adopted CECL on January 1, 2020 which substantially changed its methodology for measuring the estimate of credit loss. See further discussion of the Provision and the change in measurement in the prior section “—Finance Receivables and Asset Quality”;

($6.7 million) impairment of Goodwill, driven by declines in the fair value of its reporting unit;

$3.2 million benefit recognized in Income tax (benefit) from the remeasurement of the federal net operating losses driven by provisions of the CARES Act;

$1.9 million decrease in Salaries and benefits, driven primarily by lower Commissions and Incentives as a result of Company performance.

(1)

Total finance receivables include net investment in leases and loans. For the calculations above, the effects of (i) the allowance for credit losses and (ii) initial direct costs and fees deferred are excluded.

Net interest and fee income decreased $0.4 million, or 1.7%, to $23.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 from $24.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The annualized net interest and fee margin decreased 25 basis points to 9.34% in the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 from 9.59% for the corresponding period in 2019.

Interest income, net of amortized initial direct costs and fees, was $26.5 million and $25.9 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively. Average total finance receivables increased $9.4 million, or 0.9%, to $1,008.8 million at March 31, 2020 from $999.4 million at March 31, 2019. The increase in average total finance receivables was primarily due to origination volume exceeding lease and loan repayments, sales and charge-offs. The average yield on the portfolio increased 13 basis points to 10.49% from 10.36% in the prior year quarter. The weighted average implicit interest rate on new finance receivables originated was 12.45% and 12.76% for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2020, and March 31, 2019, respectively. As our origination volumes have been negatively impacted by theCOVID-19 pandemic, our portfolio of finance receivables and related incomes may decline in the second quarter of 2020. Any returns to normal levels of origination activity, and our ability to replenish or grow our portfolio, remains uncertain.

Fee income was $2.8 million and $4.0 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively. Fee income included approximately $1.0 million of net residual income for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019. For 2020, after the adoption of CECL, all future cashflows from the Company’s pools of loans are included in the measurement of the allowance, including future cashflows from net residual income. Amounts of residual income are presented within the rollforward of the Allowance, as discussed further in “—Finance Receivables and Asset Quality”

Fee income also included approximately $2.1 million and $2.3 million in late fee income for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively. Late fees remained the largest component of fee income at 0.85% as an annualized percentage of average total finance receivables for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, compared to 0.94% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019.

-54-


Interest expense decreased $0.3 million to $5.7 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 from $6.0 million for the corresponding period in 2019, primarily due to a decrease in interest expense of $0.6 million on lower outstanding long-term borrowings offset by an increase of $0.3 million on higher deposit balances. Interest expense, as an annualized percentage of average total finance receivables, decreased 14 basis points to 2.25% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, from 2.39% for the corresponding period in 2019. The average balance of deposits was $838.5 million and $816.9 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively.

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, average term securitization borrowings outstanding were $69.8 million at a weighted average coupon of 4.24%. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2019, average term securitization borrowings outstanding were $140.5 million at a weighted average coupon of 3.91%.

Our wholly-owned subsidiary, MBB, serves as our primary funding source. MBB raises fixed-rate and variable-rate FDIC-insured deposits via the brokered certificates of deposit market, on a direct basis, and through the brokered MMDA Product. At March 31, 2020, brokered certificates of deposit represented approximately 52% of total deposits, while approximately 42% of total deposits were obtained from direct channels, and 6% were in the brokered MMDA Product.

Gain on Sale of Leases and Loans.Gain on sale of leases and loans was $2.3 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, compared to $3.6 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019. Assets sold decreased to $22.9 million, for the first quarter of 2020 compared to $52.9 million for the first quarter of 2019, a 57% decrease. The amount of gain recognized declined by only 35%, reflecting a stronger margin realized on sales executed in the first quarter of 2020.

Our sales execution decisions, including the timing, volume and frequency of such sales, depend on many factors including our origination volumes, the characteristics of our contracts versus market requirements, our current assessment of our balance sheet composition and capital levels, and current market conditions, among other factors. In the current slowing economy resulting from theCOVID-19 pandemic, we may have difficulty accessing the capital market and may find decreased interest and ability of counterparties to purchase our contracts, or we may be unable to negotiate terms acceptable to us.

Insurance premiums written and earned.Insurance premiums written and earned increased $0.2 million to $2.3 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, from $2.1 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019, primarily due to an increase in the number of contracts enrolled in the insurance program as well as higher average ticket size driving higher premiums.

Other income. Other income was $7.6 million and $7.2 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively. The increase in other income was primarily driven by a $0.3 million increase in servicing income, driven by a higher portfolio serviced for others.

Salaries and benefits expense. The following table summarizes the Company’s Salary and benefits expense:

Salaries and benefits expense decreased $2.0 million, or 17.4%, to $9.5 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 from $11.5 million for the corresponding period in 2019. Total personnel decreased to 339 at March 31, 2020 from 352 at March 31, 2019. Incentive compensation decreased $1.5 million, driven by lower recognized bonus and share-based compensation amounts primarily driven by the Company’s operating results. Commissions decreased $0.6 million, or 36% primarily driven by a 24% decrease in origination volume.

As previously announced, subsequent to quarter end, in April 2020, the Company temporarily reduced the salaries of certain executives and furloughed approximately 120 employees as part of a plan to adjust the Company’s expense base and ensure operating efficiency during theCOVID-19 crisis. The furlough period began on April 13, 2020 and is currently expected to continue through May 31, 2020.

General and administrative expense increased $0.2 million, or 1.5%, to $13.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 from $13.4 million for the corresponding period in 2019.

General and administrative expense as an annualized percentage of average total finance receivables was 5.39% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, compared to 5.34% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019.

Goodwill impairment.In the first quarter of 2020, driven by negative current events related to theCOVID-19 economic shutdown, the Company’s market capitalization falling below book value and other related impacts, the Company analyzed its goodwill for impairment. The Company concluded that the implied fair value of goodwill was less than it’s carrying amount, and recognized impairment equal to the entire $6.7 million balance.

Provision for income taxes.Income tax benefit of $7.4 million was recorded for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, compared to expense of $1.6 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, the income tax benefit includes a $3.2 million discrete benefit, related to remeasuring our federal net operating losses, driven by certain provisions in the CARES Act. Our statutory tax rate, which is a combination of federal and state income tax rates, was approximately 23.9% for both periods. However, our effective tax rate was 38.6% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, driven by the recognition of the discrete benefit.

LIQUIDITYAND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our business requires a substantial amount of liquidity and capital to operate and grow. Our primary liquidity need is to fund new originations; however, we also utilize liquidity for our financing needs (including our deposits and long term deposits), to fund infrastructure and technology investment, to pay dividends and to pay administrative and othernon-interest expenses.

As a result of the uncertainties surrounding the actual and potential impacts ofCOVID-19 on our business and financial condition, we raised additional liquidity through the issuance of FDIC-insured deposits and we increased our borrowing capacity at the Federal Reserve Discount Window.

We are dependent upon the availability of financing from a variety of funding sources to satisfy these liquidity needs. Historically, we have relied upon five principal types of external funding sources for our operations:

FDIC-insured deposits issued by our wholly-owned subsidiary, MBB;

borrowings under various bank facilities;

financing of leases and loans in various warehouse facilities (all of which have since been repaid in full);

financing of leases through term note securitizations; and

sale of leases and loans through our capital markets capabilities

Deposits issued by MBB represent our primary funding source for new originations, primarily through the issuance of FDIC insured deposits.

MBB also offers an FDIC-insured MMDA Product as another source of deposit funding. This product is offered through participation in a partner bank’s insured savings account product to clients of that bank. It is a brokered account with a variable interest rate, recorded as a single deposit account at MBB. Over time, MBB may offer other products and services to the Company’s customer base. MBB is a Utah state-chartered, Federal Reserve member commercial bank. As such, MBB is supervised by both the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco and the Utah Department of Financial Institutions.

We declared a dividend of $0.14 per share on January 30, 2020. The quarterly dividend was paid on February 20, 2020 to shareholders of record on the close of business on February 10, 2020, which resulted in a dividend payment of approximately $1.7 million. It represented the Company’s thirty-fourth consecutive quarterly cash dividend.

At March 31, 2020, we had approximately $25.0 million of available borrowing capacity from a federal funds line of credit with a correspondent bank in addition to available cash and cash equivalents of $211.1 million. This amount excludes additional liquidity that may be provided by the issuance of insured deposits through MBB.

Our debt to equity ratio was 5.33 to 1 at March 31, 2020 and 4.26 to 1 at December 31, 2019.

Net cash used in investing activities was $5.2 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $29.8 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019. The decrease in cash outflows from investing activities is primarily due to a decrease of $41.0 million for purchases of equipment for lease contracts partially offset by a reduction of $24.0 million in proceeds from sales of leases originated for investment. The decrease in purchases of equipment was primarily driven by lower origination volumes for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to 2019, and the reduction in proceeds from sales was driven by lower volumes of sales, driven primarily by our execution decisions.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $82.5 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $60.3 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019. The increase in cash flows from financing activities is primarily due to an increase of $18.5 million in deposits and a decrease of $7.1 million of term securitization repayments offset by $3.4 million of additional repurchases of common stock. Financing activities also include transactions related to the Company’s payment of dividends.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $10.2 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $12.5 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019. Transactions affecting net cash provided by operating activities including goodwill impairment, provision for credit losses, changes in income tax liability and leases originated for sale and proceeds thereof are discussed in detail in the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

We expect cash from operations, additional borrowings on existing and future credit facilities and funds from deposits issued through brokers, direct deposit sources, and the MMDA Product to be adequate to support our operations and projected growth for the next 12 months and the foreseeable future.

Total Cash and Cash Equivalents.Our objective is to maintain an adequate level of cash, investing any free cash in leases and loans. We primarily fund our originations and growth using FDIC-insured deposits issued through MBB. Total cash and cash equivalents available as of March 31, 2020 totaled $211.1 million, compared to $123.1 million at December 31, 2019.

Time Deposits with Banks.Time deposits with banks are primarily composed of FDIC-insured certificates of deposits that have original maturity dates of greater than 90 days. Generally, the certificates of deposits have the ability to redeem early, however, early redemption penalties may be incurred. Total time deposits as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 totaled $13.7 million and $12.9 million, respectively.

Restricted Interest-Earning Deposits with Banks. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had $6.5 million and $6.9 million, respectively, of cash that was classified as restricted interest-earning deposits with banks. Restricted interest-earning deposits with banks consist primarily of various trust accounts related to our secured debt facilities. Therefore, these balances generally decline as the term securitization borrowings are repaid.

Borrowings.Our primary borrowing relationship requires the pledging of eligible lease and loan receivables to secure amounts advanced. Our secured borrowings amounted to $62.6 million at March 31, 2020 and $76.6 million at December 31, 2019. Information pertaining to our borrowing facilities is as follows:

Federal Funds Line of Credit with Correspondent Bank

MBB has established a federal funds line of credit with a correspondent bank. This line allows for both selling and purchasing of federal funds. The amount that can be drawn against the line is limited to $25.0 million.

Federal Reserve Discount Window

In addition, MBB has received approval to borrow from the Federal Reserve Discount Window based on the amount of assets MBB chooses to pledge. MBB had $47.8 million in unused, secured borrowing capacity at the Federal Reserve Discount Window, based on $55.1 million of net investment in leases pledged at March 31, 2020.

Term Note Securitizations

On July 27, 2018 we completed a $201.7 million asset-backed term securitization. It provides the company with fixed-cost borrowing with the objective of diversifying its funding sources and is recorded in long-term borrowings in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

In connection with this securitization transaction, we transferred leases to our bankruptcy remote special purpose wholly-owned subsidiary (“SPE”) and issued term debt collateralized by such commercial leases to institutional investors in a private securities offering. The SPE is considered variable interest entity (“VIE”) under U.S. GAAP. We continue to service the assets of our VIE and retain equity and/or residual interests. Accordingly, assets and related debt of the VIE is included in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Collateral in excess of our borrowings under the securitization transaction represents our maximum loss exposure and there is no further recourse to our general credit. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 outstanding term securitizations amounted to $62.2 million and $76.1 million, respectively and the Company was in compliance with terms of the term note securitization agreement. See Note 10 – Debt and Financing Arrangements in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for detailed information regarding of our term note securitization

Bank Capital and Regulatory Oversight

We are subject to regulation under the Bank Holding Company Act and all of our subsidiaries may be subject to examination by the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia even if not otherwise regulated by the Federal Reserve Board. MBB is also subject to comprehensive federal and state regulations dealing with a wide variety of subjects, including minimum capital standards, reserve requirements, terms on which a bank may engage in transactions with its affiliates, restrictions as to dividend payments and numerous other aspects of its operations. These regulations generally have been adopted to protect depositors and creditors rather than shareholders.

At March 31, 2020, Marlin Business Service Corp and MBB’s Tier 1 leverage ratio, common equity Tier 1 risk-based ratio, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio and total risk-based capital ratios exceeded the requirements for well-capitalized status.

See MDA—Executive Summary for discussion of updates to our capital requirements driven by the termination of the CMLA Agreement and driven by our election to utilize the five-year transition related to the adoption of the CECL accounting standard. In addition, see Note 13—Stockholders’ Equity in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding these ratios and our levels at March 31, 2020.

Information on Stock Repurchases

Information on Stock Repurchases is provided in “Part II. Other Information, Item 2, Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds” herein.

Items Subsequent to March 31, 2020

The Company declared a dividend of $0.14 per share on April 30, 2020. The quarterly dividend, which is expected to result in a dividend payment of approximately $1.7 million, is scheduled to be paid on May 21, 2020 to shareholders of record on the close of business on May 11, 2020. It represents the Company’s thirty-fifth consecutive quarterly cash dividend. The payment of future dividends will be subject to approval by the Company’s Board of Directors.

MARKET INTEREST RATE RISK AND SENSITIVITY

Market risk is the risk of losses arising from changes in values of financial instruments. We engage in transactions in the normal course of business that expose us to market risks. We attempt to mitigate such risks through prudent management practices and strategies such as attempting to match the expected cash flows of our assets and liabilities.

We are exposed to market risks associated with changes in interest rates and our earnings may fluctuate with changes in interest rates. The lease and loan assets we originate are almost entirely fixed-rate. Accordingly, we generally seek to finance these assets primarily with fixed interest certificates of deposit issued by MBB, and to a lesser extent through the variable rate MMDA Product at MBB.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

There have been no significant changes to our Critical Accounting Policies as described in our Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, other than as discussed below.

Allowance for credit losses.

For 2019 and prior, we maintained an allowance for credit losses at an amount sufficient to absorb losses inherent in our existing lease and loan portfolios as of the reporting dates based on our estimate of probable incurred net credit losses in accordance with the Contingencies Topic of the FASB ASC. See further discussion of our policy under the incurred model in the “Critical Accounting Policy” section of our 2019 Form10-K.

Effective January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“CECL”), which changed our accounting policy and estimated allowance. CECL replaces the probable, incurred loss model with a measurement of expected credit losses for the contractual term of the Company’s current portfolio of loans and leases. After the adoption of CECL, an allowance, or estimate of credit losses, will be recognized immediately upon the origination of a loan or lease, and will be adjusted in each subsequent reporting period

We maintain an

allowance for credit losses at an amount that takes into consideration
all future cashflows that we expect to receive or
derive from the pools of contracts, including recoveries after
charge-off,
amounts related to initial direct cost
and origination costs net
of fees deferred, and certain future cashflows from residual assets.
A provision is charged against earnings to maintain the allowance
for credit losses at the appropriate level.

We developed
a consistent, systematic methodology to measure our estimate of the credit credi
t
losses inherent in our current portfolio, over
the entire life of the contracts.
We made certain key decisions
that underlyunderlie our methodology,
including our decisions of how to
aggregate our portfolio into pools for analysis based on similar
risk characteristics, the selection of appropriate historical loss data
to
reference in the model, our selection of a model to calculate the
estimate, a reasonable and supportable forecast, and the length of
our
forecast and approach to reverting to historical loss data.

For our Equipment Finance segment, we determine our reasonable
and supportable forecast based on certain economic variables
that
were selected based on a statistical analysis of our own historical
loss experience, going back to 2004. We
selected unemployment rate
and changes in the number of business bankruptcies as our economic variables,
based on an analysis of the correlation of changes in
those variables to our loss experience over time.

As part
of our estimate of expected credit losses, specific to each measurement
date, management considers relevant qualitative and
quantitative factors to assess whether the historical loss experience
being referenced should be adjusted to better reflect the risk
characteristics of the current portfolio and the expected future
loss experience for the life of these contracts.
This assessment
incorporates all available information relevant to considering the collectability
of our current portfolio, including considering
economic and business conditions, default trends, changes in
portfolio composition, changes in lending policies and practices,
among
other internal and external factors.
Further, each measurement period we determine
whether to separate any loans from their current
pool for individual analysis based on their unique risk characteristics.
Our approach to estimating qualitative adjustments takes into
consideration all significant current information we believe appropriate
to reflect the changes and risks in the portfolio or environment
and involves significant judgment.

-60-


-69-
Our estimates of expected net credit losses are inherently uncertain,
and as a result we cannot predict with certainty the amount of
such losses. We
may recognize
credit losses in excess of our reserve, or a significant increase to
our credit loss estimate, in the future,
driven by the update of assumptions and information underlying our
estimate and/or driven by the actual amount of realized
losses.
Our estimate of credit losses will be revised each period
to reflect current information, including current forecasts of economic
conditions, changes in the risk characteristics and composition of the portfolio,
and emerging trends in our portfolio, among other
factors, and these updates for current information could drive
a significant adjustment to our reserve.
Further, actual credit losses may
exceed our estimated reserve, and such excess may be significant,
if the actual performance of our portfolio differs significantlysignif
icantly from
the current assumptions and judgements, including those underlying our
forecast and qualitative adjustments, as of any given
measurement date.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer
(“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”),
evaluated the
effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures
as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period
covered by this report.

Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered

by this report are designed and operating effectively to
provide reasonable assurance that the information required
to be disclosed by
us in reports filed under the 1934 Act is (i) recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s
SEC's rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated
to our management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate
to
allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting identified
in connection with management’s
evaluation that occurred during the Company’s firstCompany's second fiscal
quarter of 2020 that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to
materially affect, the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting.

PART
II. Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are
party to various legal proceedings, which include claims and litigation arising
in the ordinary course of business.
In the
opinion of management, these actions will not have a material impact on
our business, financial condition,
results of operations or
cash flows.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes in the risk factors disclosed
in the Company’s Form10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2019,
other than as discussed below.

The ongoingCOVID-19 pandemic and measures intended to
prevent its spread could have a material adverse effect
on our
business, results of operations and financial condition, and
such effects will depend on future developments, which are
highly
uncertain and are difficult to predict.

Global health concerns relating to theCOVID-19 pandemic and
related government actions taken to reduce the spread of
the virus
have been weighing on the macroeconomic environment, and
the outbreak has significantly increased economic uncertainty and
-71-
reduced economic activity. The
pandemic has resulted in authorities implementing numerous measures
to try to contain the virus, such
as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter in place or
total lock-down orders and business limitations and shutdowns. Such
measures have significantly contributed to rising unemployment
and negatively impacted consumer and business spending. The
United States government has taken steps to attempt to mitigate
some of the more severe anticipated economic effects of
the virus,
including the passage of the CARES Act, but there can be no
assurance that such steps will be effective or achieve their
desired results

-62-


in a timely fashion.

We continue to monitor
and evaluate newly enacted and monitor proposed government and banking
regulations issued in
response to theCOVID-19 pandemic; further changes in regulation that
impact our business or that impact our customers could
have a
significant impact on our future operations and business strategies.

Our operations and financial results have already been negatively
impacted as a result ofCOVID-19 pandemic, as discussed
further in
MDAPart IOverview”Item 2. Management’s
Discussion andMDA— Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations —Overview” and ”—
Results of Operations”.
The pandemic, reduction in economic activity,
and current business limitations and shutdowns have increased
risks to our business that include, but are not limited to:

Credit Risk.
We extend
credit primarily to small andmid-sized businesses, and many of
our customers may be particularly
susceptible to business limitations, shutdowns and possible recessions
and may be unable to make scheduled lease or loan
payments during these periods and may be at risk of discontinuing
their operations.
As a result, our delinquencies and credit
losses may substantially increase.
Our risk and exposure to future losses may be amplified to
the extent economic activity
remains shutdown for an extended period, or to the extent businesses
have limited operations or are unable to return to
normal levels of activity after the restrictions are lifted.

Our estimate of expected future credit losses recognized within our
allowance as of March 31, June 30,
2020 is based on certain
assumptions, forecasts and estimates about the impact of current
economic conditions on our portfolio of receivables based
on information known as of March 31, June 30,
2020, including certain expectations about the extent and timing of impacts
from
COVID-19.
If those assumptions, forecasts or estimates underlying our financial statements
are incorrect, we may
experience significant losses as the ultimate realization of value, or
revisions to our estimates, may be materially different
than the amounts reflected in our consolidated statement of financial
position as of any particular date.

Portfolio Risk.
We are
currently experiencing a significant decrease in demand for our lease and
loan products as a result of
theCOVID-19 pandemic, and we have limited visibility to the future
recovery of such demand.

We have shifted
the focus of portions of our operations and certain personnel
to implement specific programs and new
products in response to the pandemic.
In particular, we have focused efforts
on loan modifications and a payment deferral
program, implemented a new PPP loan product, and increased
customer service efforts to respond to our borrower’s
needs.
There can be no assurances that such efforts will be
successful in mitigating any risk of credit loss.

Liquidity and Capital Risk.
As of March 31, June 30,
2020, all of our capital ratios, and our subsidiary bank’s
capital ratios, were in
excess of all regulatory requirements.
While we currently have sufficient capital, our reported
and regulatory capital ratios
could be adversely impacted by further credit losses and other
COVID-19
related impacts on our operations.
We are
managing the evolving risks of our business while closely monitoring
and forecasting the potential impacts ofCOVID-19 on
our future operations and financial position, including capital levels.
However, given the uncertainty about
future
developments and the extent and duration of the impacts ofCOVID-19 COVID
-19 on our business and future operations, we face
elevated risks to our ability to forecast and estimate future capital
levels.
If we fail to meet capital requirements in the future,
our business, financial condition or results of operations may be
adversely affected.

We have historically returned
capital to shareholders through normal dividends, special dividends and
share repurchases.
There can be no assurances that these forms of capital returns are
the optimal use of our capital or that they will continue in
the future.

Operational Risk.
The spread ofCOVID-19 has caused us to modify our business practices (including
(including implementing certain
business continuity plans, and developing work from home and
social distancing plans for our employees), and we may take
further actions as may be required by government authorities
or as we determine are in the best interests of our employees,
customers and business partners.
We face increased
risk of any operational or procedural failures due to changes in our
normal business practices necessitated by the pandemic.

These factors may remain prevalent for a significant period of
time and may continue to adversely affect our business,
results of
operations and financial condition even after theCOVID-19 pandemic
has subsided.

-72-
The extent to which the coronavirus pandemic impacts our business,
results of operations and financial condition will depend on
future developments, which are highly uncertain and are difficult
to predict, including, but not limited to, the duration and
spread of
the outbreak, its severity, the
actions to contain the virus or treat its impact, and how quickly
and to what extent normal economic and
operating conditions can resume. Even after theCOVID-19
pandemic has subsided, we may continue to experience materially
adverse
impacts to our business as a result of the virus’s
global economic impact, including the availability of credit, adverse
impacts on our
liquidity and any recession that has occurred or may occur in
the future.

-63-


There are no comparable recent events that provide guidance as to

the effect the spread ofCOVID-19 as a global pandemic may
have,
and, as a result, the ultimate impact of the outbreak is highly
uncertain and subject to change. We
do not yet know the full extent of
the impacts on our business, our operations or the global economy
as a whole. However, the effects
could have a material impact on
our results of operations and heighten many of our known risks described
in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on
Form

10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
