NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED
 
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – The Company
We are a nationwide
 
provider of credit products and services to small businesses and were incorporated
 
in the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania
 
in
2003
. In 2008, we opened Marlin Business Bank (“MBB”), a commercial bank chartered
 
by the State of
Utah
 
and a
member of the Federal Reserve System, which serves as the Company’s
 
primary funding source through its issuance of Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”)-insured deposits. In 2009,
 
Marlin Business Services Corp. became a bank holding company
subject to the Bank Holding Company Act and in 2010, the Federal Reserve Bank
 
Bank of Philadelphia confirmed the effectiveness of
Marlin Business Services Corp.’s
 
election to become a financial holding company (while remaining a bank
 
holding company)
pursuant to Sections 4(k) and (l) of the Bank Holding Company Act and
 
section 225.82 of the Federal Reserve Board’s
 
Regulation
Y.
Such election permits Marlin Business Services Corp. to engage
 
in activities that are financial in nature or incidental to a financial
activity, including
 
the maintenance and expansion of our reinsurance activities conducted through
 
our wholly-owned subsidiary,
AssuranceOne,
Ltd. (“AssuranceOne”).
On April 18, 2021, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger
 
(the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the
Company, Madeira
 
Holdings, LLC and Madeira Merger Subsidiary,
 
Inc. (“HPS Merger Sub”) pursuant to which all outstanding
shares of the Company’s common
 
stock will, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement,
 
be cancelled and
converted into the merger consideration specified
 
in the Merger Agreement in an all cash transaction pursuant to a merger
 
of the
Company with and into HPS Merger Sub, with the Company
 
surviving (the “Merger”).
 
The Company's Board of Directors hasOn August 4, 2021, our shareholders
unanimously approved the Merger.adoption of the Merger Agreement.
 
The Merger remains subject to, in addition to various other customary closing
conditions,
 
closing conditions: approval
by the Company’s shareholders; governmental
and regulatory approvals;approvals and completion of MBB’s
 
surrender of its banking
licenses
and authority and
termination of its FDIC insured deposits (a process we refer
to as “De-banking”).
References to the “Company,”
 
“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. Marlin Leasing Corporation (“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 JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and the
the results of operations for the three-
and sixnine -month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021
and 2020,
and cash flows for
the six-monthnine-
month periods
ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and 2020.
 
In management’s opinion, the unaudited
 
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 Form 10-K
 
Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2020, filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)
on March 5, 2021. 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.
 
Income taxes.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
-11-
Our statutory tax rate, which is a combination of federal and state income taxes,
 
was
25.225.1
% and
25.4
% for the three months ended
JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and JuneSeptember 30, 2020, respectively.
For the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021, our effective
tax rate was
26.2
%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, our
effective tax rate was
25.9
%. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, our effective tax
rate was
33.235.6
%, driven by a $
3.2
million discrete benefit, resulting from certain provisions in the Coronavirus Aid,
Aid, Relief, and
Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) that allow for
a remeasurement
of our federal net operating losses.
For the three and six-monthnine-month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021,
our effective
tax rates were
25.327.1
% and
25.926.2
%, respectively.
 
During the second quarter of 2021, the Company made a $
19.8
million 2020 tax year extension payment, resulting in a quarter end
current tax receivable balance of $
10.5
million.
The Company expects to receive a refund in connection with its annual Federal tax
filing during the second half of 2021.
The Company’s IRS federal audit
 
audit for tax years ending December 31, 2013 to 2018 resulting from Joint Committee
 
Review as part of
an IRS refund claim closed in the second quarter of 2021 with no adjustments.
 
adjustments. The Company remains subject to examination for the
2017 tax year to the present as of September 30, 2021 under regular statute
of limitations.
Significant Accounting Policies.
 
There have been no significant changes to our Significant Accounting
 
Policies as described in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
 
2020.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
.
 
Credit Losses.
 
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)
 
issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)
ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic
 
326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments and related
ASUs collectively referred to as “CECL”.
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 was effective (i.e., modified retrospective
 
approach). See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2020 for a detailed discussion of our adoption of
 
this guidance.
Income Taxes
. In December 2019, the FASB
 
issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes
 
(Topic 740): Simplifying
 
the Accounting for
Income Taxes, which
 
removes certain exceptions to the general principles of ASC 740 in order to reduce
 
the cost and complexity of
its application.
 
The amendments also clarify and amend existing guidance to improve
consistent application.
The ASU is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods
 
within those annual periods.
 
We adopted
 
ASU 2019-12 on
January 1, 2021, and the adoption did not have a material impact on our
 
consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Portfolio Sales
The Company has historically originated 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 $
0.90.7
 
million and $
1.3
 
million as of
JuneSeptember 30, 2021,
and December 31, 2020, respectively,
 
and is recognized within Accounts payable and accrued expenses in the
Consolidated Balance Sheets.
 
As of JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the portfolio
of leases and loans serviced
for others was
was $
172146
 
million and $
230
 
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.

term of the Company’s current portfolio
 
of loans
and leases.
 
See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020
 
for a detailed discussion of our adoption of
this guidance

The Company adopted ASU 2016-13,

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.
-20-
Estimate of Current Expected Credit Losses (CECL)
The Company uses 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
as of September 30, 2021, is summarized below.
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 cashflows 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 a 12-month forecast period
and 12-month straight-
line reversion period, based on its initial assessment of the appropriate timing.
However, starting with the March 31, 2020
measurement, the Company adjusted its model to reference a 6-month forecast
period and 12-month straight line reversion period.
The change in the length of the reasonable and supportable forecast was
based on observed market volatility in March 2020. During the first quarter
of 2021, the Company reverted to the pre-
COVID 12-month forecast period and 12-month straight line reversion
period and continued
using this forecast in the second
and third quarters of 2021 as uncertainty in the macroeconomic environment
has lessened and the Company’s
portfolio has
stabilized with low net charge-offs
and delinquencies.
The continued positive economic forecast resulted in provision
benefits for Equipment Finance of $
1.3
million and $
13.4
million for the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2021,
respectively, as compared
to provisions of $
7.2
million and $
38.7
million for the same periods in 2020 during the height of
the COVID-19 pandemic.
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.
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.
-21-
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, starting with its March 31, 2020
measurement, driven by the elevated risk of credit loss driven by market
conditions due to COVID-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.
During the third quarter, the Company
updated its expectation for credit losses for the Working
Capital segment based on the
favorable actual portfolio performance during the quarter
and a revised forecast based on its current assessment of risks in the
portfolio.
Based on that analysis, the Company recognized a provision of $
0.3
million for the three months ended September
30, 2021, bringing the total provision associated with Working
Capital to $
0.4
million for the nine months ended September
30, 2021.
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 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 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, starting with the
March
31, 2020 measurement, driven by the elevated risk of credit loss driven by market
conditions due to COVID-19, the
Company developed alternate scenarios for expected credit loss for
this segment, considering different timing and
magnitudes of potential exposures.
Beginning in the first quarter of 2021, the Company updated its expectation for
credit losses for the CVG segment, including
separately assessing the elevated risks of a population of motor coach industry contracts
that are facing prolonged impacts
from COVID-19. While the segment continues to evidence negative impacts
from COVID-19 as seen in the segment’s
delinquency and modification balances, it is also experiencing positive
indicators such as paydown of balance.
These factors,
including no further significant reduction in collateral values resulted
in the qualitative reserve remaining unchanged from the
prior quarter at $
4.7
million of total CVG qualitative adjustments for COVID-19 related risks.
Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) Loans:
CRA loans are comprised of loans originated under a line of credit to satisfy the
Company’s obligations under
the CRA.
The
Company does not measure an allowance specific to this population because
the exposure to credit loss is nominal.
For the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized
provision benefits of $
1.2
million, and $
14.0
million, respectively,
driven primarily by improving economic forecasts and portfolio performance.
Our reserve as of September 30, 2021, 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 revise our estimate of credit losses in the future, and such amounts
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 to COVID-19, starting in mid-March 2020, the Company
instituted a Loan modification payment deferral program in
order to assist its customers that requested relief and were current under their existing
agreement.
The payment deferral program
allows for up to 6 months of fully deferred or reduced payments. As of September
30, 2021, the Company’s Loan modification
program has been terminated, with future modifications considered
and granted on a case-by-case basis.
As of September 30, 2021, the Company had
3,460
active modified leases and loans totaling $
69.5
million of which all except $
0.5
million were out of the deferral period. Out of the deferral period
means the contract has returned to its regular payment schedule. For
loans in deferral period, the deferral may either be full, with zero payment
owed during the deferral period, or partial, with reduced
payments during deferral that are primarily
25
%-
50
% of schedule, or the deferral period payment may be a nominal amount.
Total resolved
modifications include
311
contracts charged off where a $
7.0
million credit loss was realized, and
1,848
contracts that
paid in full.
TDRs are restructurings of leases and loans in which, due to the borrower's financial
difficulties, a lender grants a concession that it
would not otherwise consider for borrowers of similar credit quality.
In accordance with the interagency guidance as updated in April
2020, that the FASB concurred
with, loans modified under the Company’s
payment deferral program are not considered TDRs. As of
September 30, 2021, the Company had $
10.3
million of active contracts designated as TDRs.
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.
The following tables provide information about delinquent leases and loans in
the Company’s portfolio
based on the contract’s status
as-of the dates presented. In particular,
contracts that are part of the Loan Modification Program discussed above
are presented in the
below delinquency table and the non-accrual information for September
30, 2021 based on their status with respect to the modified
terms.

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.
-21-
Estimate of Current Expected Credit Losses (CECL)
The Company uses 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
as of June 30, 2021, is summarized below.
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 Equipme
nt 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 cashflows 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 a 12-month forecast period
and 12-month straight-
line reversion period, based on its initial assessment of the appropriate timing.
However, starting with the March 31, 2020
measurement, the Company adjusted its model to reference a 6-month forecast
period and 12-month straight line reversion period.
The change in the length
of the reasonable and supportable forecast was
based on observed market volatility in March 2020. During the first quarter
of 2021, the Company reverted to the pre-
COVID 12-month forecast period and 12-month straight line reversion
period and continued using this forecast in the second
quarter of 2021as uncertainty in the macroeconomic environment
has lessened and the Company’s
portfolio has stabilized
with low net charge-offs and delinquencies
.
The continued positive economic forecast resulted in provision benefits for
Equipment Finance of $
9.0
million and $
12.0
million for the three and six-months ended June 30, 2021, respectively,
as
compared to provisions of $
16.5
million and $
31.5
million for the same periods in 2020 during the height of the COVID-19
pandemic.
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.
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.
-22-
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, starting with its March 31, 2020
measurement, driven by the elevated risk of credit loss driven by market
conditions due to COVID-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.
During the second quarter, the Company updated
its expectation for credit losses for the Working
Capital segment based on
the favorable actual portfolio performance during the quarter and a revised
forecast based on its current assessment of risks in
the portfolio.
Based on that analysis, the Company recognized a provision benefit of $
0.1
million for the three months ended
June 30, 2021, bringing the total provision associated with Working
Capital to $
0.1
million for the six months ended June 30,
2021.
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 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
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, starting with the March
31, 2020 measurement, driven by the elevated risk of credit loss driven by market
conditions due to COVID-19, the
Company developed alternate scenarios for expected credit loss for
this segment, considering different timing and
magnitudes of potential exposures.
Beginning in the first quarter of 2021,
the Company updated its expectation for credit losses for the CVG segment, including
separately assessing the elevated risks of a population of motor coach industry
contracts that are facing prolonged impacts
from COVID-19. While the segment continues to evidence negative impacts
from COVID-19 as seen in the segment’s
delinquency and modification balances, it is also experiencing positive
indicators such as paydown of balance.
These factors,
including no further significant reduction in collateral values contributed
to a $
1.0
million reduction in qualitative reserve
ending the period at $
4.7
million of total CVG qualitative adjustments for COVID-19 related risks.
Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) Loans:
CRA loans are comprised of loans originated under a line of credit to satisfy the
Company’s obligations under the CRA.
The
Company does not measure an allowance specific to this population because
the exposure to credit loss is nominal.
For the three and six- months ended June 30, 2021, the Company
recognized provision benefits of $
9.9
million, and $
12.8
million,
respectively, driven
primarily by improving economic forecasts and portfolio performance.
Our reserve as of June 30, 2021, 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 revise our estimate of credit losses in the future, and such amounts
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 to COVID-19, starting in mid-March 2020, the Company
instituted a Loan modification payment deferral program in
order to assist its small-business customers that requested relief and were current under
their existing agreement.
The payment
deferral program allows for up to 6 months of fully deferred or reduced payments.

Out of the deferral period represents the month in which the contract
returns to its regular contract schedule for the entire
month.
For loans in deferral period, the deferral may either be full, with zero payment owed
during the deferral period, or
partial, with reduced payments during deferral that are primarily
25
%-
50
% of schedule, or the deferral period payment may
be a nominal amount. In all cases, information is presented with respect to the contracts’
current deferral terms as of June 30,
2021.
TDRs are restructurings of leases and loans in which, due to the borrower's financial
difficulties, a lender grants a concession that it
would not otherwise consider for borrowers of similar credit quality.
In accordance with the interagency guidance as updated in April
2020, that the FASB concurred
with, loans modified under the Company’s
payment deferral program are not considered TDRs. As of
June 30, 2021 the Company had $
11.0
million of active contracts designated as TDRs.

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.
The following tables provide information about delinquent leases and loans
in the Company’s portfolio
based on the contract’s status
as-of the dates presented. In particular, contracts
that are part of the Loan Modification Program discussed above are present
ed in the
below delinquency table and the non-accrual information for June 30, 2021

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
 
would be paid to transfer a liability
on the measurement date. GAAP focuses on the exit price in the principal or
 
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
 
hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its
entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to
 
to the measurement in its entirety.
 
In accordance with the Merger Agreement and De-banking
 
process discussed in Note 1, the Company sold all its investment securities
in the third quarter of 2021.
The Company’s balances measured
 
at fair value on a recurring basis include the following as of JuneSeptember 30,
2021 and

carrying amount of its servicing
liability.

NOTE 12 – Earnings Per Share
 
The Company’s restricted stock
 
awards are paid non-forfeitable common stock dividends and thus meet
 
the criteria of participating
securities. Accordingly,
 
earnings per share (“EPS”) has been calculated using the two-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
 
common stock by the weighted average number of
common shares used in computing basic EPS, further adjusted by including the
 
the dilutive impact of the exercise or conversion of
common stock equivalents, such as stock options, into shares of commoncomm
 
on 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 capital and leverage guidelines make regulatory capital requirements more
 
sensitive to differences in risk profiles among
banking organizations and consider 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 1 Capital" as
defined in the regulations, comprised of common equity,
 
retained earnings and a limited amount of non-cumulative perpetual
preferred stock. The remaining capital, "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
%, minimum Tier 1 risk-based ratio of
6
%, and a total risk-based capital ratio of
8
%.
 
The Basel III capital adequacy
standards established a new common equity Tier
 
1 risk-based capital ratio with a required
4.5
% minimum (
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
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
March 26, 2020, the FDIC, the Company and certain of the Company’s
 
subsidiaries terminated the Capital Maintenance and Liquidity
-33-
Agreement (the “CMLA Agreement”) and the Parent Company
 
Agreement, each entered into by and among the Company,
 
certain of
-35-
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
%. Rather, MBB must continue to maintain a
total risk-based capital ratio above
8
% to be considered adequately capitalized and above
10
% to be considered well-capitalized 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 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 less the
amount of cumulative dividends paid over that period.
 
Any dividends declared above that amount and any return of permanent
 
capital
would require prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors.
 
As of JuneSeptember 30, 2021, MBB has the capacity under 12 CFR
CFR 208.5 to pay dividends to the Company without explicit approval from
 
from the Federal Reserve Board of Governors.
MBB’s Tier 1
 
Capital balance at JuneSeptember 30, 2021 was $
161.3165.9
 
million, which met all capital requirements to which MBB is subject and
and qualified MBB for “well-capitalized” status. At JuneSeptember 30, 2021,
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
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 the two-year
 
delay.
 
The three-year transition, starting in 2022, will phase in that adjustment straight
 
-line,
such that
25
% of the transitional amounts will be included in the first year,
 
and an additional
25
% over each of the next two years,
such that we will have phased in
75
% of the adjustment during year three.
 
At the beginning of year 6 (2025) the Company will have
completely reflected the effects of CECL in its regulatory
 
capital.

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
 
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
 
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
 
can be paid on such deposits. Undercapitalized
institutions may not accept, renew or roll over brokered deposits.
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;
the
•
 
placing limits on asset growth and restrictions on activities;
payment
•
 
placing additional restrictions on transactions with affiliates;
of
•
 
principal
and
restricting the interest
rate the institution may pay on
subordinated
debt;
•
prohibiting
the
holding
company
from
makin
g
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;
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
-37-
-35-
•
 
prohibiting
the institution from accepting deposits from correspondent
 
banks; and
the
•
 
institution
from
accepting
deposits
from
correspondent
banks;
and
•
in
the
most
sev
ere
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
21.1621.94
% at JuneSeptember 30, 2021 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
 
and bank holding companies to have an
established assessment process for maintaining capital commensurcommensurate
 
ate with their overall risk profile. Such assessment process may
affect the ability of the organizations to pay dividends.
 
pay dividends. Although generally organizations may
pay dividends only
out of current
operating earnings, dividends may be paid if the distribution is prudent relative
 
relative to the organization’s
 
financial position and risk profile,
after consideration of current and prospective economic conditions. As mentioned
 
above, MBB’s ability to pay dividends to the
Company is subject to various regulatory requirements, including
 
Title 12 part 208 of the Code of Federal Regulations (12 CFR
208.5), which places limitations on bank dividends. Furthermore,
as a bank holding
company, the Company’s
 
Company’s ability to pay dividends
to its shareholders is also subject to various regulatory requirements, including
 
Supervisory Letter SR 09-4,

quarter.Deposit Assignment & Assumption Agreement.
On October 8, 2021, MBB entered into an agreement to transfer its portfolio of
brokered certificates of deposit held through The
Depository Trust Company with an outstanding
principal amount of approximately $
204.8
 
million to a Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (“FDIC”)-insured depository institution.
In exchange for the acquiror’s assumption of those deposits, MBB has agreed
to
pay the acquiror at the time of transfer, in addition
to the outstanding principal amount of the deposits, all accrued but unpaid interest
on the deposits as of the transfer date plus a sum of $
750,000
.
The agreement contemplates that the transfer,

(among other customary closing conditions) the approval of the Utah Department
of Financial Institutions and of the FDIC pursuant to
Section 18(c) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, expected to occur in late December
2021 or early January 2022.

O
VERVIEW
Founded in 1997, we are a nationwide provider of credit products and services to
 
to small and mid-sized businesses. The products and
services we provide to our customers include loans and leases for the acquisition of
 
of commercial equipment (including Commercial
Vehicle
 
Group (“CVG”) assets) and working capital loans. In May 2000, we established AssuranceOne,
 
AssuranceOne, Ltd., a Bermuda-based,
wholly-owned captive insurance subsidiary (“Assurance One”), which
 
which enables us to reinsure the property insurance coverage for the
equipment financed by Marlin Leasing Corporation (“MLC”) and Marlin Business Bank
 
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,
an equipment
leasing company which
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, , a 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
 
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,
 
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
 
FDIC-insured deposits and money market demand
accounts raised nationally by MBB, sales of pools of leases or loans,
 
as well as, from time to time, fixed-rate asset backed
securitization transactions.

Business Update
In 2020, we faced unprecedented operating challenges and macromacro-economic
 
-economic uncertainty from the COVID-19 pandemic.
 
Our initial
focus from the beginning of the COVID-19 crisis in the first quarter of 2020
 
was working with existing customers to protect the value
of our portfolio and limiting the erosion of shareholder capital.
Early in response to the onset of the pandemic, we temporarily tightened underwriting
 
underwriting standards for areas of elevated risk and we
continue to update such risk assessments based on current conditions.
 
As we have seen economic conditions improve and continued
excellent portfolio performance, our underwriting criteria and standards
 
have been updated accordingly.
Most of our employees continue to work remotely but we have not experienced
 
any significant interruption to our operations. We
began to return some of our employees back to the workplace in May 2021 based
 
upon business needs and employee interest.
 
We
currently intend to implement
 
a hybrid approach to our return to the office beginning in September
 
2021;
early 2022; however, we will continually re-
re-evaluateevaluate our return to office approach as we monitor the
 
the recent increasetrends in COVID-19 cases across the country.

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 change due to rate.

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
 
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
change due
to rate.

Gain on Sale of Leases and Loans.
 
There were no asset sales for the six-monthnine-month period ended JuneSeptember 30,

retained all
of our
origination volume on our balance sheet. There were $24.1 $28.3
million of
asset sales for the six-monthnine-month period ended June September
30, 2020 for a
$2.3 $2.4 million gain on sale of lease and loans.
 
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 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.

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
 
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
 
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;

Deposits issued by MBB represent our primary funding source for new originations,
 
primarily through the issuance of FDIC insured
deposits.
 
We are currently
 
executing our De-banking process, after which time our primary sources of liquidity
 
will transition to
third-party bank and securitization financing as opposed to FDIC-insured
 
FDIC-insured deposits.
 
We currently
expect that this transition will occurSee “Items Subsequent to September 30, 2021”
duringbelow for more information regarding actions taken in the fourth quarter of 2021.
 
to effectuate this transition.

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
-54-
retain equity and/or residual interests. Accordingly,
 
assets and related debt of the VIE is included in the accompanying Consolidated
Balance Sheets.
 
At JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 outstanding
term securitizations
amounted to $17.3$11.7 million
and $30.8
million, respectively and the Company was in compliance with terms of
 
the term note securitization agreement. See Note 10 – Debt

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
 
assets and liabilities.
 
-55-
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.

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.
Following the announcement on April 18, 2021 of the proposed Merger,
 
four complaints were filed against us and each member of our
Board of Directors, two of which were filed in the United States District Court for the
 
the Southern District of New YoYork,
 
rk, one of which
was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York
 
and one of which was filed in the United States
District Court for the District of New Jersey.
 
The complaints assert, among other things, claims under Section 14(a) and Section
 
20(a)
of the 1934 Act, and Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder,
 
for allegedly causing a materially incomplete and misleading preliminary
proxy statement to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to the Company’s
 
shareholders. Among other remedies, the complaintsThe Company subsequently engaged in
seek to enjoin the defendants from proceeding with, consummating orarm’s-length negotiations

incomplete and misleading information is disclosedwith parties to Company

1A.
Risk
Factors
There have been no material changes in the risk factors disclosed in the Company’s
 
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020,
other than as discussed below.
We may fail
 
to consummate the proposed Merger, and
 
and uncertainties related to the consummation of the Merger may have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of
 
operations and cash flows, and negatively impact the price of
our Common stock.
As previously discussed, on April 18, 2021, we entered into the Merger
 
Agreement, pursuant to which all outstanding shares of the
Company’s common
 
stock will, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement,
 
Agreement, be cancelled and converted into the
merger consideration specified in the Merger
 
Agreement in an all cash transaction pursuant to the Merger.
The Merger is subject to, in addition to various other customary
 
closing conditions: approval by the Company’sconditions,
 
shareholders; antitrust
clearance and other governmental and regulatory approvals;approvals and
completion of the De-banking.
The Merger Agreement includes customary representations
 
and warranties of the parties.
 
We have also made
 
certain additional
covenants in the Merger Agreement, including (a) covenants regarding
 
the operation of our business and that of our subsidiaries
pending the closing of the Merger,
 
and (b) a customary non-solicitation covenant prohibiting us from soliciting, providing
 
providing non-public
information in response to, or entering into discussions or negotiations with
 
respect to, proposals relating to alternative business
combination transactions, except as permitted under the Merger
 
Agreement. The Merger Agreement provides that, upon termination
of the Merger Agreement under certain specified circumstances, including
 
including the acceptance of a Superior Proposal (as defined in the
Merger Agreement) for an alternative business combinaticombination
 
on transaction, we will be required to pay a termination fee of approximately
$10.3
million.
There is no assurance that the Merger will occur on the terms and timeline
 
timeline as set forth in the Merger Agreement and currently
contemplated, or at all. Potential risks and uncertainties include, but
 
are not limited to:
•
 
The Merger Agreement generally requires that we operate our
 
our business in the ordinary course pending consummation of
the proposed Merger and restricts us, without Madeira Holdings, LLC’s
 
LLC’s consent, from taking certain
specified actions until the Merger
is completed. These restrictions may affect our ability
 
to execute our business strategies and attain our financial and other goals which
could negatively impact our business and results of operations.
 
•
 
The efforts to satisfy the closing conditions of the proposed Merger,
 
including the De-banking and shareholder and
regulatory approval
processes, may place a significant burden on
management and internal
resources, and the Merger whether or not
consummated, may
result in a diversion of management’s
 
attention from our day-to-day operations and result in a disruption of our
operations. Any
significant diversion of management attention

business and any difficulties encountered in the Merger

We could be

,
including to the extent that the current market price of our
common stock reflects an assumption that the Merger
will be consummated
without unexpected delays.
All of the foregoing could materially and adversely affect our business,
 
business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
