Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Note 1.   Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) which are considered necessary for fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements of JetPay Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “JetPay”) as of March 31, 2018. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. It is recommended that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures for the year ended December 31, 2017 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 28, 2018.

Note 2.   Business Operations and Liquidity

The Company currently operates in two business segments: (i) the Payment Services Segment and (ii) the HR & Payroll Services Segment. The Payment Services Segment is an end-to-end processor of credit and debit card and automated clearing house payment transactions that focuses on processing omni-channel (internet, mobile, and point-of-sale) transactions and recurring billings for traditional retailers, government and utility, and service providers. The HR & Payroll Services Segment provides human capital management (“HCM”) services, including full-service payroll and related payroll tax payment processing, time and attendance, HCM services, low-cost money management and payment services to unbanked and underbanked employees through prepaid debit cards, and services under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the “Affordable Care Act”).

The Company entered the payment processing and the payroll processing businesses upon consummation of the acquisitions of JetPay Payment Services, TX, LLC (f/k/a JetPay, LLC) (“JetPay Payments, TX”) and JetPay HR & Payroll Services, Inc. (f/k/a A. D. Computer Corporation) (“JetPay HR & Payroll Services”) on December 28, 2012. Additionally, on November 7, 2014, the Company acquired JetPay Payment Services, PA, LLC (f/k/a ACI Merchant Systems, LLC) (“JetPay Payments, PA”), an independent sales organization specializing in relationships with banks, credit unions and other financial institutions. On June 2, 2016, the Company acquired JetPay Payment Services, FL, LLC (f/k/a CollectorSolutions, Inc.) (“JetPay Payments, FL”), a payment processor specializing in the processing of payments in the government and utilities channels.

The Company expects to fund its operating cash needs for the next fifteen months, including debt service requirements, capital expenditures and possible future acquisitions, with cash flow from its operating activities, sales of equity securities, including the recent sale of preferred stock, and current and future borrowings. The Company believes that the investments made in its technology, infrastructure, and sales staff will help generate cash flows in the future sufficient to cover its working capital needs. As discussed below, the Company is currently exploring a variety of options with respect to the potential redemption of up to $24.3 million of shares of Series A and Series A-1 Preferred by Flexpoint and Wellington beginning on or after October 11, 2018.

In the past, the Company has been successful in obtaining loans and selling its equity securities. To fund the Company’s current debt service needs, satisfy the potential redemption of shares of preferred stock, expand its technology platforms for new business initiatives, and pursue possible future acquisitions, the Company may need to raise additional capital through loans or additional sales of equity securities. The Company continues to investigate the capital markets for sources of funding, which could take the form of additional debt, the restructuring of our current debt, or additional equity financing. The Company cannot provide any assurance that it will be successful in securing new financing or restructuring its current debt or that it will secure such future financing with commercially acceptable terms. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may need to delay certain technology capital improvements, limit its planned level of capital expenditures and future growth plans, or explore other alternatives, including the possible disposal of operating assets to generate cash to sustain operations and fund ongoing capital investments.

As disclosed in Note 8. Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, between October 11, 2013 and August 9, 2016, the Company sold 99,666 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series A Preferred”), to Flexpoint Fund II, L.P. (“Flexpoint”) for an aggregate of $29.9 million, less certain costs. Additionally, on October 18, 2016, the Company sold 33,667 shares of Series A Preferred to Sundara Investment Partners, LLC (“Sundara”) for $10.1 million, less certain costs. In connection with the sale of shares of Series A Preferred to Sundara, the Company also entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with LHLJ, Inc., an affiliate of Sundara, for a term loan in the principal amount of $9.5 million, with $5.175 million of the proceeds used to simultaneously satisfy the remaining balances of a term loan and a revolving credit note payable to First National Bank of Pennsylvania. See Note 7. Long-Term Debt, Notes Payable and Capital Lease Obligations. These transactions provided approximately $14.0 million of net working capital, which the Company has used for general working capital purposes, the payment of debt and for future capital needs, including a portion of the cost of potential future acquisitions. Finally, between May 5, 2014 and April 13, 2017, the Company sold 9,000 shares of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series A-1 Preferred”), to an affiliate of Wellington Capital Management, LLP (“Wellington”) for an aggregate of $2.7 million.

The Company may from time to time determine that additional investments are prudent to maintain and increase stockholder value. In addition to funding ongoing working capital needs, the Company’s cash requirements for the next fifteen months ending June 30, 2019 include, but are not limited to, principal and interest payments on long-term debt and capital lease obligations of approximately $5.2 million and estimated capital expenditures of $2.6 million to $3.0 million, $1.3 million of which the Company expects to fund with existing available credit facilities.

Additionally, there are 133,333 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred and 9,000 shares of the Company’s Series A-1 Preferred outstanding, with an aggregate redemption value of $85.4 million. On October 11, 2013, the Company issued the initial tranche of 33,333 shares of Series A Preferred to Flexpoint for an aggregate value of $10.0 million. On April 14, 2014, the Company issued the second tranche of 4,667 shares of Series A Preferred to Flexpoint for an aggregate value of $1.4 million and 2,565 shares of Series A-1 Preferred to Wellington on April 14, 2014 for an aggregate value of $769,500. On or after October 11, 2018, the fifth anniversary of the initial preferred shares issuance, the holders of the shares of Series A Preferred have the right to require the Company to repurchase any or all of such shares of Series A Preferred at the contractual redemption price of $600 per share or up to approximately $20.0 million. Also, on or after April 14, 2019, the fifth anniversary of the second preferred shares issuance, the holders of the Series A Preferred can require the Company to repurchase any or all of the 4,667 shares issued on April 11, 2014 at the contractual redemption price of $600 per share or up to approximately $2.8 million. Should the holders of the shares of the Series A Preferred exercise their redemption rights as described above, the holders of the Series A-1 Preferred may also redeem a proportionate amount of their shares outstanding up to an aggregate value of approximately $1.54 million. The Company is exploring alternative financing opportunities should the Series A Preferred stockholders exercise their redemption rights, including exploring alternative equity or debt investors, or the possible sale of operating assets to generate sufficient liquidity. The Company believes that certain of its assets have sufficient value to meet this possible liquidity need and accordingly does not believe the potential liquidation event raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Note 3.   Business Acquisition

On June 2, 2016, JetPay completed its acquisition of CollectorSolutions, Inc. pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated February 22, 2016 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among JetPay, CSI Acquisition Sub One, LLC, CSI Acquisition Sub Two, LLC, CollectorSolutions, Inc. and Gene M. Valentino, in his capacity as representative of the shareholders of CollectorSolutions, Inc. On October 21, 2016, the surviving entity of the merger changed its name to JetPay Payment Services, FL, LLC. The acquisition of JetPay Payments, FL provided the Company with additional expertise in selling debit and credit card processing services in the government and utilities channels through JetPay Payments, FL’s highly configurable payment gateway; added incremental debit, credit, and e-check processing volumes; and provided a base operation to sell the Company’s payroll, HCM, processing and prepaid card services to JetPay Payments, FL’s customer base. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of JetPay Payments, FL since the acquisition date, June 2, 2016.

As consideration for the acquisition, the Company initially issued 3.25 million shares of its common stock to the stockholders of CollectorSolutions, Inc. and assumed approximately $1.0 million of CollectorSolutions, Inc.’s indebtedness. The 3.25 million shares of common stock issued in connection with closing, valued at $8.3 million at the date of acquisition, included: (i) 587,500 shares placed in escrow at closing as partial security for the indemnification obligations of the stockholders of CollectorSolutions, Inc. (the “Escrowed Shares”) and (ii) 500,000 shares placed in escrow at closing which would be released or cancelled if JetPay Payments, FL achieves certain gross profit performance targets in 2016 and 2017 (the “Earn-Out Shares”). In addition to the shares of its common stock issued at the date of acquisition, the Company issued an additional 54,601 shares on December 30, 2016 to the former stockholders of CollectorSolutions, Inc. in connection with a post-closing purchase price adjustment for working capital and debt levels as of the acquisition date pursuant to the Merger Agreement. JetPay Payments, FL’s former stockholders may also be entitled to receive warrants to purchase up to 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, each with a strike price of $4.00 per share and a 10-year term from its date of issuance, contingent upon JetPay Payments, FL achieving certain gross profit performance targets in 2018 and 2019. This contingent stock and warrant consideration, recorded as a liability, was valued at $1,975,000 at the date of acquisition utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation model. The fair value of the contingent consideration was $1.4 million at March 31, 2018 (recorded within non-current other liabilities). See Note 4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

6

Based upon the level of gross profit performance of JetPay Payments, FL in 2016, on June 28, 2017, the Company released 250,000 Earn-Out Shares from escrow to the former shareholders of CollectorSolutions, Inc. Based upon the level of gross profit performance in 2017, the Company anticipates releasing an additional 250,000 Earn-Out Shares from escrow related to the 2017 earn-out provisions as per the Merger Agreement. In addition, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on June 28, 2017, the Company released 587,500 Escrowed Shares held for indemnification purposes from escrow to the former shareholders of CollectorSolutions, Inc.

In addition, the Company granted to each former stockholder of CollectorSolutions, Inc. a right to require the Company to repurchase up to 50% of the shares of common stock issued in connection with the acquisition and continuously held by such stockholder for $4.00 per share if Flexpoint exercises its right to redeem all of its shares of Series A Preferred. The Company accounts for its common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ deficit. The common stock issued to JetPay Payments, FL’s former shareholders features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at March 31, 2018, 50% of the estimated fair value of the common stock issued in connection with the acquisition, or $3.52 million, is presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ deficit section of the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Note 4.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Significant accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. The Company’s significant accounting policies are described below.

Use of Estimates, Presentation and Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the SEC. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Company’s financial statements. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, the value of purchase consideration of acquisitions; estimates of allowances and reserves against accounts receivable; reserves for chargebacks; goodwill; intangible assets and other long-lived assets; legal contingencies; the fair value of equity instruments classified as liabilities; and assumptions used in the calculation of stock-based compensation and in the calculation of income taxes. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. These consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our wholly-owned subsidiaries and all intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”), which requires revenue recognized to represent the transfer of promised goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration which is expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services.  ASU 2014-09 also includes Subtopic 340-40, which provides guidance on other assets and deferred costs relating to contracts with customers, specifically costs an entity incurs to obtain and fulfill a contract.  The FASB subsequently issued several amendments to ASU 2014-09, including clarification on accounting for licenses, identifying performance obligations, and principal versus agent considerations (gross versus net presentation), as well as enhanced disclosure requirements about revenue and contract assets and liabilities.  ASU 2014-09 was codified as Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and ASC 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs – Contracts with Customers, (collectively, “ASC Topic 606”). 

7

The Company adopted the requirements of ASC Topic 606 on January 1, 2018 using the full retrospective method, which required both the current and prior reporting periods to be presented under the same methodology.  Under this method, the March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2017 financial statements and related disclosures, included herein, have been presented on an “As Adjusted” basis under ASC Topic 606, as opposed to what was previously reported under ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition.  The adoption resulted in a decrease to accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2017 of $647,000.  Included in this adjustment was an increase to accumulated deficit as of January 1, 2017 of $374,000 for the cumulative effect of applying ASC Topic 606, offset by a decrease in net loss and net loss applicable to common stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2017 of $1.0 million.  This decrease in net loss for the year ended December 31, 2017 included an increase to net income of $848,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Impact on Previously Reported Results

The provisions of ASC Topic 606 had a material impact on the timing and amount of revenues recognized by the Company.  The most significant impact of adopting ASC Topic 606 is the result of gross versus net presentation of certain fees in the Payment Services Segment. Under ASC Topic 606, the Company reflects revenues net of certain fees that the Company pays to third parties, including interchange, which is earned by the cardholder’s issuing bank, and dues and assessments, which are earned by the credit card associations. The Company previously reported certain of these items as revenues and cost of revenues under previous standards. This change in presentation will have no effect on the reported amount of operating income; however, the Company’s total revenues and cost of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2017 is each lower by $5.2 million.

The most significant impact of adopting ASC Topic 606 in the HR & Payroll Services Segment relates to the timing of revenue recognized within the annual Form W-2, quarterly tax filing and annual tax filing revenue streams. To comply with the new standard, the timing of revenue recognized has changed from when delivery has occurred or services have been rendered to when a customer takes control of the good or service. This change in the timing of revenue recognition resulted in an increase in revenues of $744,000 for the three months ended at March 31, 2017.

Additionally, ASC Topic 606 had an impact on the manner in which we account for certain costs to obtain new contracts (i.e. commissions), which we had previously expensed as incurred in both operating segments. Under ASC Topic 606, incremental direct costs of obtaining a contract, which primarily consist of sales commissions paid to inside sales professionals, are deferred and recognized ratably over the three-year and ten-year estimated terms of our customer relationships in the Payment Services and HR & Payroll Services Segments, respectively. The average terms of our customer relationships will be tested for impairment annually and whenever an indicator of impairment exists. We include deferred commissions within other non-current assets since the average life of the Company’s customer relationships is greater than one year. This change in the timing of commission recognition results in a reduction of commission expenses of $148,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows: Clarification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which eliminates the diversity in practice related to classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows, by adding or clarifying guidance on eight specific cash flow issues. This new guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years and early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2018 and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash, which provides guidance that will require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. As a result, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. This new guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years and early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company adopted this new standard as of January 1, 2018 and has modified the presentation of $1.9 million of restricted cash in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business.   This ASU clarifies the definition of a business when evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. This new guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. The Company adopted of this standard as of January 1, 2018 and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting. This ASU clarifies an entity’s ability to modify the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award presented. An entity should account for the effects of a modification unless all the following are met: the fair value of the modified award has not changed from the fair value on the date of issuance; the vesting conditions of the modified award are the same as the vesting conditions of the original award immediately before the original award is modified; and, the classification of the modified award as an equity instrument or a liability instrument is the same as the classification of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. This new guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. The Company adopted this new standard as of January 1, 2018 and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-05, Income Taxes (Topic 740). The ASU presents amendments to income taxes and income tax accounting implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ASC 740-10-S99-2A. The guidance in ASU No. 2018-05 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 22, 2017, when the Act was signed into law, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this new standard as of January 1, 2018 and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Standards

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This ASU requires that a lessee recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from operating leases. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. This new guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods, and early adoption is permitted. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. JetPay has not yet determined the effect of the adoption of this standard on JetPay’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350). This ASU simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating the second step of the goodwill impairment test, which required computing the implied fair value of goodwill. Under the amendments in this update, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge should be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. This new guidance will be effective January 1, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of this guidance and assessing its impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features, (Part II) Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception. This ASU clarifies the recognition, measurement, and effect on earnings per share of certain freestanding equity-classified financial instruments that include down round features affect entities that present earnings per share in accordance with the guidance in Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The amendments also clarify existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments. This new guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those periods. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of this guidance and assessing its impact on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

Revenue Recognition and Contract Assets and Liabilities

The Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to its customers in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled for those goods or services. The Company currently operates and manages its business through two reportable segments, the Payment Services Segment and the HR & Payroll Services Segment, which coincide with the types of services the Company provides to its customers. The Company recognizes revenue for distinct performance obligations, wherein, a performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct product or service to the customer and is the unit of account in ASC Topic 606.

Within each customer contract, transaction prices are allocated to each distinct performance obligation based upon relative standalone selling price and then recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligations are satisfied. The majority of the Company’s contracts have multiple performance obligations primarily related to the various types of services the Company provides within its two reportable segments. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation using the best estimate of the standalone selling price for each distinct good or service in the contract.

Payment Services

Revenues from the Company’s credit and debit card processing operations are recognized in the period services are rendered as the Company processes credit and debit card transactions for its merchant customers or for merchant customers of its third party clients. Third party clients, or partners, include Independent Sales Organizations (“ISOs”), Value Added Resellers (“VARs”), Independent Software Vendors (“ISVs”) and financial institutions. The majority of the Company’s revenues within its credit and debit card processing business is comprised of transaction-based fees, which typically constitute a percentage of dollar volume processed, and/or a fee per transaction processed. In the case where the Company is only the processor of transactions, it charges transaction fees only and records these fees as revenues. In the case of contracts pursuant to which the Company processes credit and debit card transactions for merchant customers, revenues are primarily comprised of transaction fees charged to the merchant, as well as a percentage of the processed sale transaction. The Company’s contracts in most instances involve three parties: the Company, the merchant, and the sponsoring bank. With respect to many of the Company’s government and utility clients, as well as the Company’s JetX cash discount product, the cardholder is charged either a convenience fee (government and utilities) or transaction fee (JetX), instead of the merchant being charged for these fees. In all cases, the Company recognizes revenues net of interchange fees and assessments charged by the credit card associations. Interchange fees and credit card association fees are not controlled by the Company. The Company effectively functions as a clearing house collecting and remitting credit card association fees and interchange fee settlement on behalf of issuing banks, debit networks, credit card associations and their processing customers.

The Company’s revenue streams within the Payment Services Segment include Financial Institutions revenues, Government Agency & Utility revenues, and Partners & e-Commerce revenues. Within the Payment Services Segment, the transaction price consists primarily of usage-based variable consideration, as the total consideration to be received is based on the number of transactions and dollar volume that will be processed by the Company for the merchant customer. The Company’s performance obligations in the Payment Services Segment are satisfied over time as customers receive and obtain control of the payment processing service. The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient for measuring progress towards the completion of a performance obligation and recognizes revenue as the Company has the right to invoice each customer, which generally corresponds with the transactions processed on behalf of the merchant customers.

Additionally, the Company’s direct merchant customers and certain third-party partners have the liability for any charges properly reversed by the cardholder. In the event, however, the Company is not able to collect such amount from the merchants due to merchant fraud, insolvency, bankruptcy or any other reason, it may be liable for any such reversed charges. The Company in some instances requires cash deposits, guarantees, letters of credit and other types of collateral from certain merchants to minimize any such contingent liability, and it also utilizes a number of systems and procedures to manage merchant risk.

HR & Payroll Services

Revenues from the Company’s JetPay HR & Payroll Services operations are recognized in the period products or services are delivered under arrangements with clients where fees are fixed or determinable and allocated to specific performance obligations. Certain processing services are provided under annual service arrangements with revenue recognized when the service is delivered to the customer. All revenues are deferred until the allocated performance obligation has been completed and control is transferred to the customer. The Company’s service revenues are largely attributable to payroll-related processing services where the fees are based on a fixed amount per processing period or a fixed amount per processing period plus a fee per employee or transaction processed. The revenues earned from delivery service for the distribution of certain client payroll checks and reports is included in revenues, and the costs for delivery are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

11

Within the HR & Payroll Services Segment, the transaction price consists primarily of fixed consideration which is the price negotiated at contract inception for the services to be provided. The Company’s performance obligations within the HR & Payroll Services Segment are satisfied at a point in time or over time depending upon the delivery of the product or service and how control is transferred to the customer. Payroll processing services are satisfied over time since the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits as the Company performs. The Company utilizes the as-invoiced practical expedient to recognize revenue as the Company is paid a fixed amount based upon payroll processing frequency and the number of active employees paid during that payroll processing period. For all other revenue streams within the HR & Payroll Services Segment, performance obligations are satisfied at a point in in time, which is when the delivery of the service to the customer has occurred.

Interest on funds held for clients is earned primarily on funds that are collected from clients before due dates for payroll tax administration services and for employee payment services, and invested until remittance to the applicable tax or regulatory agencies or client employee. These collections from clients are typically remitted between one (1) and thirty (30) days after receipt, with some items extending to ninety (90) days. The interest earned on these funds is included in total revenues on the Consolidated Statements of Operations because the collecting, holding, and remitting of these funds are critical components of providing these services.

Disaggregation of Revenues

The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers based upon the channel/industry of its customers. The Company determined that disaggregating revenues into these categories achieves the disclosure objective to depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. A reconciliation of disaggregated revenues to segment revenues is provided in Note 13. Segments.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

Deferred Revenue

The Company recognizes contract liabilities in the form of deferred revenue in instances where a customer pays in advance of when they take control of the goods or services to be performed by the Company. The Company receives payments from its customers based on standard terms and conditions.

Changes in deferred revenue were as follows (in thousands):

	March 31,			March 31,
	2018			2017
Balance, beginning of period	$	1,033		$	1,566
Deferral of revenue		707			632
Recognition of deferred revenue		(1,033	)		(1,566	)
Balance, end of period	$	707		$	632

Deferred Commissions

Our incremental direct costs of obtaining a contract, which primarily consist of sales commissions paid to inside sales professionals, are deferred and recognized ratably over the three-year and ten-year estimated terms of our customer relationships in the Payment Services and HR & Payroll Services Segments, respectively. The average terms of our customer relationships will be tested for impairment annually and whenever an indicator of impairment exists. We include deferred commissions within other non-current assets since the average life of the Company’s customer relationships is greater than one year.

Balance, end of period	$	1,311		$	795

Practical Expedients Elected

The Company has elected the following practical expedients in applying ASC Topic 606 across all reportable segments:

As-Invoiced

Within the Payment Services Segment, the Company bills a fixed fee and/or a percent of volume for each transaction processed. Within the HR & Payroll Services Segment, the Company bills a fixed amount based on payroll processing frequency and the number of active employees paid during that payroll processing period. In both segments, as the Company has a right to invoice the customer in the amount that corresponds directly with the value of its performance completed to date, it will utilize the as invoiced practical expedient to recognize revenue.

Directly allocable variable consideration to wholly unsatisfied performance obligations exemption

Within the Payment Services Segment, all consideration in the contract is considered variable, and no amount is treated as fixed consideration. Furthermore, the Company will recognize revenue over time using invoice as practical expedient. As such, it will not need to estimate and disclose the variable consideration in the transaction price allocated to the performance obligation as stipulated under the exemption.

Reserve for Chargeback Losses

Disputes between a cardholder and a merchant periodically arise as a result of, among other things, cardholder dissatisfaction with merchandise quality or merchant services. Such disputes may not be resolved in the merchant’s favor. In these cases, the transaction is “charged back” to the merchant, which means the purchase price is refunded to the customer through the merchant’s bank and charged to the merchant. If the merchant has inadequate funds, the Company must bear the credit risk for the full amount of the transaction. The Company evaluates the risk for such transactions and estimates the potential loss for chargebacks based primarily on historical experience and records a loss reserve accordingly. The Company believes its reserve for chargeback losses is adequate to cover both the known probable losses and the incurred but not yet reported losses at the balance sheet dates. Chargeback reserves totaling $292,000 and $413,000 were recorded as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash, restricted cash, settlement processing assets and liabilities, accounts receivable, funds held for clients, accounts payable and client fund obligations, approximated fair value as of the balance sheet dates presented, because of the relatively short maturity dates on these instruments. The carrying amounts of the financing arrangements approximate fair value as of the balance sheet dates presented, because interest rates on these instruments approximate market interest rates after consideration of stated interest rates, anti-dilution protection and associated warrants.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash, accounts receivable, settlement processing assets and funds held for clients. The Company’s cash is deposited with major financial institutions. At times, such deposits may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurable amount.

13

Accounts Receivable

The Company’s accounts receivable are due from its merchant credit card and its payroll customers. Credit is extended based on the evaluation of customers’ financial condition and, generally, collateral is not required. Payment terms vary but are typically collected via automated clearing house payments originated by us two (2) to three (3) days following month end. Amounts due from customers are stated in the financial statements net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts which are outstanding longer than the payment terms are considered past due. The Company determines its allowance by considering a number of factors, including the length of time trade accounts receivable are past due, the Company’s previous loss history, the customer’s current ability to pay its obligation to the Company, and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they are deemed uncollectible.

Settlement Processing Assets and Funds and Obligations

Funds settlement refers to the process of transferring funds for sales and credits between card issuers and merchants. Depending on the type of transaction, either the credit card interchange system or the debit network is used to transfer the information and funds between the sponsoring bank and card issuing bank to complete the link between merchants and card issuers. In certain of our processing arrangements, merchant funding primarily occurs after the sponsoring bank receives the funds from the card issuer through the card networks, creating a net settlement obligation on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. In a limited number of other arrangements, the sponsoring bank funds the merchants before it receives the net settlement funds from the card networks, creating a net settlement asset on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. Additionally, certain of the Company’s sponsoring banks collect the gross revenue from the merchants, pay the interchange fees and assessments to the credit card associations, collect their fees for processing and pay the Company a net residual payment representing the Company’s fees for the services. In these instances, the Company does not reflect the related settlement processing assets and obligations in its Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Timing differences in processing credit and debit card and automated clearing house transactions, as described above, interchange expense collection, merchant reserves, sponsoring bank reserves, and exception items result in settlement processing assets and obligations. Settlement processing assets consist primarily of our portion of settlement assets due from customers and receivable from merchants for the portion of the discount fee related to reimbursement of the interchange expense, our receivable from the processing bank for transactions we have funded merchants in advance of receipt of card association funding, merchant reserves held, sponsoring bank reserves and exception items, such as customer chargeback amounts receivable from merchants. Settlement processing obligations consist primarily of merchant reserves, our liability to the processing bank for transactions for which we have received funding from the members but have not funded merchants and exception items.

Settlement assets, funds and obligations resulting from JetPay Payments, FL’s processing services and associated settlement activities include settlement receivables due from credit card associations and debit networks and certain cash accounts to which JetPay Payments, FL does not have legal ownership but has the right to use the accounts to satisfy the related settlement obligations. JetPay Payments, FL’s corresponding settlement obligations are for amounts payable to customers, net of processing fees earned by JetPay Payments, FL. Settlement receivables and payables for credit and debit card transactions are recorded at the gross transaction amounts. The gross amounts are then processed through JetPay Payments, FL’s settlement accounts, and JetPay Payments, FL retains its fees for the transactions upon settlement. Settlement receivables for e-check transactions consist of only JetPay Payments, FL’s fees for the transactions. Settlement receivables are generally collected within four (4) business days. Settlement obligations are generally paid within three (3) business days, regardless of when the related settlement receivables are collected.

Property and Equipment and Depreciation

Property and equipment acquired in the Company’s business acquisitions have been recorded at estimated fair value. The Company records all other property and equipment acquired in the normal course of business at cost. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are generally as follows: leasehold improvements – shorter of economic life or remaining term of the related lease; machinery and equipment – five (5) to fifteen (15) years; and furniture and fixtures – five (5) to ten (10) years. Significant additions or improvements extending assets’ useful lives are capitalized; normal maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred.

14

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the premium paid over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in the Company’s business combinations. The Company performs a goodwill impairment test on at least an annual basis. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires significant judgments, including estimation of future cash flows, which are dependent on internal forecasts, estimation of the long-term rate of growth for the businesses, the useful life over which cash flows will occur and determination of the Company’s weighted average cost of capital. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and/or conclusions on goodwill impairment for each reporting unit. The Company conducts its annual goodwill impairment test as of December 31 of each year or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. The Company periodically analyzes whether any such indicators of impairment exist. A significant amount of judgment is involved in determining if an indicator of impairment has occurred. Such indicators may include a sustained significant decline in our stock price and market capitalization, a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate, unanticipated competition and/or slower expected growth rates, adverse actions or assessments by a regulator, among others. The Company compares the fair value of its reporting unit to its respective carrying value, including related goodwill. Future changes in the industry could impact the results of future annual impairment tests. The Company’s annual quantitative goodwill impairment testing indicated there was no impairment as of December 31, 2017. Additionally, no indicators of impairment occurred in the three months ended March 31, 2018. There can be no assurance that future tests of goodwill impairment will not result in impairment charges.

Identifiable Intangible Assets

Identifiable intangible assets consist primarily of customer relationships, software costs, and tradenames. Certain tradenames are considered to have indefinite lives, and as such, are not subject to amortization. These assets are tested for impairment using undiscounted cash flow methodology annually and whenever there is an impairment indicator. Estimating future cash flows requires significant judgment and projections may vary from cash flows eventually realized. Several impairment indicators are beyond the Company’s control, and determining whether or not they will occur cannot be predicted with any certainty. Identifiable intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their respective assigned estimated lives; customer relationships use eight (8) to fifteen (15) years; tradenames use one (1) to three (3) years; and software costs use one (1) to eight (8) years.

Impairment of Long–Lived Assets

The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets held and used at least annually or when events and circumstances warrant such a review. If significant events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable, the Company performs a test of recoverability by comparing the carrying value of the asset or asset group to its undiscounted expected future cash flows. Cash flow projections are sometimes based on a group of assets, rather than a single asset. If cash flows cannot be separately and independently identified for a single asset, the Company determines whether impairment has occurred for the group of assets for which it can identify the projected cash flows. If the carrying values are in excess of undiscounted expected future cash flows, it measures any impairment by comparing the fair value of the asset group to its carrying value. If the fair value of an asset or asset group is determined to be less than the carrying amount of the asset or asset group, impairment in the amount of the difference is recorded. The Company’s annual qualitative impairment testing indicated there was no impairment as of December 31, 2017. Additionally, no indicators of impairment occurred in the three months ended March 31, 2018. There can be no assurance that future tests of impairment will not result in impairment charges.

Convertible Preferred Stock

The Company accounts for the redemption premium, beneficial conversion feature and issuance costs on or of its convertible preferred stock using the effective interest method, accreting such amounts to its convertible preferred stock from the date of issuance to the earliest date of redemption.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company expenses employee share-based payments under ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, which requires compensation cost for the grant-date fair value of share-based payments to be recognized over the requisite service period. The Company estimates the grant date fair value of the share-based awards issued in the form of options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

15

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The dilutive effect of the right of our preferred stockholders to convert outstanding shares of Series A Preferred and Series A-1 Preferred into 16,949,152 and 1,102,041 shares of common stock, respectively, at March 31, 2018; the effect of 1,804,574 exercisable stock options granted under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2013 Stock Incentive Plan”) at March 31, 2018; and the effect of 266,667 exercisable warrants issued in connection with the Company’s purchase of treasury shares in February 2017 have been excluded from the loss per share calculation for the three months ended March 31, 2018 in that the assumed conversion of these options would be anti-dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2017, the dilutive effect of the right of our preferred stockholders to convert outstanding shares of Series A Preferred and Series A-1 Preferred into 16,949,152 and 754,898 shares of common stock, respectively; the effect of 1,227,909 exercisable stock options granted under the Company’s 2013 Stock Incentive Plan at March 31, 2017; and the effect of 266,667 exercisable warrants issued in connection with the Company’s purchase of treasury shares in February 2017 have been excluded from the loss per share calculation in that the assumed conversion of these options would be anti-dilutive.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risks. The Company does review the terms of debt instruments it enters into to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments, including embedded conversion options, which are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as derivative financial instruments. In circumstances where the host instrument contains more than one embedded derivative instrument, including the conversion option, that is required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single compound derivative instrument.

Bifurcated embedded derivatives are initially recorded at fair value and are then revalued at each reporting date with changes in the fair value reported as non-operating income or expense. When the equity or convertible debt instruments contain embedded derivative instruments that are to be bifurcated and accounted for as liabilities, the total proceeds received are first allocated to the fair value of all the bifurcated derivative instruments. The remaining proceeds, if any, are then allocated to the host instruments themselves, usually resulting in those instruments being recorded at a discount from their face value. The discount from the face value of the convertible debt, together with the stated interest on the instrument, is amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges recorded within other expenses (income), using the effective interest method.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company accounts for fair value measurements in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC Topic 820”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC Topic 820 are described below:

Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2 Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

Level 3 Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required by ASC Topic 820, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The following table sets forth a summary of the change in fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

	For the Three Months Ended March 31,

Payment of JetPay Payments, PA contingent consideration		-			(314	)
Totals	$	2,227		$	2,742

Level 3 liabilities are valued using unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the financial instrument. For fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s accounting and finance department, which reports to the Chief Financial Officer, determines its valuation policies and procedures. The development and determination of the unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements and fair value calculations are the responsibility of the Company’s accounting and finance department with support from the Company’s outside consultants which are approved by the Chief Financial Officer. Level 3 financial liabilities for the relevant periods consist of contingent consideration related to the JetPay Payments, TX, JetPay Payments, PA and JetPay Payments, FL acquisitions for which there are no current markets such that the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. Changes in fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy will be analyzed each period based on changes in estimates or assumptions and recorded as appropriate.

In addition to the consideration paid upon closing of the JetPay Payments, TX acquisition, WLES, L.P. (“WLES”), through December 28, 2017, was entitled to receive 833,333 shares of common stock if the trading price of the common stock is at least $8.00 per share for any 20 trading days out of a 30 trading day period and $5.0 million in cash if the trading price of the common stock is at least $9.50 per share for any 20 trading days out of a 30 trading day period. This contingent consideration was valued at $1.54 million at the date of acquisition based on utilization of option pricing models and was recorded as a non-current other liability for $700,000 and as additional paid-in capital for $840,000 at December 31, 2012. The stock-based component value of $840,000 recorded at December 28, 2012 (the JetPay Payments, TX acquisition date) remains unchanged at March 31, 2018 as a result of this component being recorded as equity. The fair value at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 of the cash-based contingent consideration was $0 as a result of the contingent consideration requirements not being met by December 28, 2017.

The fair value of the common stock was derived from the per share price of the common stock at the valuation date. Management determined that the results of its valuation were reasonable. The expected life represents the remaining contractual term of the derivative. The volatility rate was developed based on analysis of the historical volatility rates of similarly situated companies (using a number of observations that was at least equal to or exceeded the number of observations in the life of the derivative financial instrument at issue). The risk free interest rates were obtained from publicly available U.S. Treasury yield curve rates. The dividend yield is zero because the Company has not paid dividends and does not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

In addition to the consideration paid upon closing of the JetPay Payments, PA acquisition, the previous unitholders were entitled to receive up to an additional $500,000 if certain net revenue goals were achieved through October 31, 2016. This contingent consideration was valued at $400,000 at the date of acquisition, with the final $314,000 earned and paid on January 17, 2017.

In addition to the consideration paid upon closing of the JetPay Payments, FL acquisition, the former shareholders of JetPay Payments, FL were entitled to have released from escrow previously issued shares up to an additional 500,000 shares of common stock upon JetPay Payments, FL achieving certain gross profit performance targets in 2016 and 2017. The former shareholders are also able to receive up to 500,000 warrants to purchase shares of common stock, each with a strike price of $4.00 per share and a 10-year term from its date of issuance, upon JetPay Payments, FL achieving certain gross profit performance targets in 2018 and 2019. See Note 3. Business Acquisition. This contingent consideration was valued at $1,975,000 at the date of acquisition, $1.4 million at December 31, 2017 (recorded within non-current other liabilities), and $1.4 million at March 31, 2018 (recorded within non-current other liabilities), based on utilization of a Monte Carlo simulation to estimate the variance and relative risk of achieving future gross profit performance targets. Contingent consideration liability of $525,000 was reclassified to additional paid-in capital in June 2017 with 250,000 shares of common stock issued at the closing of the acquisition released from escrow as a result of the 2016 gross profit performance targets being achieved. The key assumptions in applying the Monte Carlo simulation included expected gross profit growth rates, the expected standard deviation and serial correlation of expected net revenue growth rates as well as a normal distribution assumption.

The Company uses either a binomial option-pricing model with a Monte Carlo simulation or the Black-Scholes option valuation model to value Level 3 financial liabilities at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. These models incorporate transaction details such as the Company’s stock price, contractual terms, maturity, risk free rates, as well as volatility. A significant decrease in the volatility or a significant decrease in the Company’s stock price, in isolation, would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement.

As of March 31, 2018, there were no transfers in or out of Level 3 from other levels in the fair value hierarchy.

In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging Activities, the Company presented its derivative liability at fair value on its Consolidated Balance Sheets, with the corresponding change in fair value recorded in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations for the applicable reporting periods.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC Topic 740”). ASC Topic 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carryovers. Deferred income tax expense (benefit) represents the change during the period in the deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities. In establishing the provision for income taxes and determining deferred income tax assets and liabilities, the Company makes judgments and interpretations based on enacted laws, published tax guidance and estimates of future earnings. ASC Topic 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or the entire deferred income tax asset will not be realized.

ASC Topic 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. ASC Topic 740 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company is required to file income tax returns in the United States (federal) and in various state and local jurisdictions. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements. The Company believes that its income tax positions and deductions would be sustained upon examination and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in material changes to its financial position.

The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits is to record such interest and penalties as interest expense and as a component of selling, general and administrative expense, respectively. There were no amounts accrued for penalties or interest as of or during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. Management does not expect any significant changes in its unrecognized tax benefits in the next year.

Subsequent Events

Management evaluates events that have occurred after the balance sheet date and through the date the financial statements are issued. Based upon the review, management did not identify any recognized or non-recognized subsequent events which would have required an adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements, except as described in Note 14. Subsequent Events.

The First National Bank term loan agreement requires the Company to provide First National Bank with annual financial statements within 120 days of the Company’s year-end and quarterly financial statements within 60 days after the end of each quarter. The First National Bank agreement also contains certain financial covenants with which the Company was in compliance as of March 31, 2018.

On June 2, 2016, in connection with the closing of the Company’s acquisition of JetPay Payments, FL, JetPay Payments, FL entered into a credit agreement with Fifth Third Bank to obtain a $1,068,960 term loan and a revolving line of credit facility of $500,000, in each case secured by all of JetPay Payments, FL’s assets.

On June 22, 2017, JetPay Payments, FL entered into a new Credit Agreement with Fifth Third Bank, which provides a $1.6 million Draw/Term Note to finance software integration costs; an Amended and Restated Revolving Promissory Note for $1.0 million (increasing the previous revolving promissory note for $500,000 and extending maturity to June 1, 2018); and a Second Modification of Credit Agreement. The Draw/Term Note provides for a 12 month draw period through June 22, 2018 (“the Conversion Date”), at which time the loan converts to a 36 month amortizing term loan which matures on June 22, 2021. The Draw/Term Note bears interest at the applicable LIBOR plus 3.00%. The Draw/Term Note is payable in monthly installments beginning on the Conversion Date and can be prepaid without penalty or premium at any time. At March 31, 2018, $1.2 million was outstanding against the $1.6 million Draw/Term Note.

The Amended and Restated Revolving Promissory Note replaced and superseded the prior $500,000 Revolving Promissory Note payable to Fifth Third Bank, extending its maturity to June 1, 2018. It bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.00% for the applicable interest period and is expected to be used to extend temporary credit to cover JetPay Payments, FL’s customers’ processing return items.

The Second Modification amended and restated an original term loan to JetPay Payments, FL dated June 2, 2016 in the original amount of $1,068,960 to incorporate certain terms in the new Credit Agreement, including incorporating revised debt covenants, financial reporting requirements, collateral requirements, modifications to parent guarantees, and representations and warranties of JetPay Payments, FL.

The Interim Lease Funding Schedule provides the details of the allowable equipment to finance and provides for an interim draw periods through June 30, 2018. Upon completion of an interim draw, the leases under the Master Lease Agreement will have a term not exceeding 48 months at an interest rate of LIBOR plus 3.00% until termed out on a schedule, at which time such leases will amortize and bear interest at a fixed rate set forth in the applicable schedule. At March 31, 2018, $592,000 was outstanding against the $1.5 million lease facility.

On July 26, 2016, as part of its settlement of litigation with Merrick, the Company issued two promissory notes in favor of Merrick in the amounts of $3,850,000 (the “$3.85MM Merrick Note”) and $5,000,000 (the “$5MM Merrick Note” and, together with the $3.85MM Merrick Note, the “Merrick Notes”) to settle legal proceedings involving Merrick Bank. The $3.85MM Merrick Note was paid in full on October 21, 2016 and the $5MM Merrick Note was paid in full on January 11, 2017.

Note 8.    Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

Under a Securities Purchase Agreement entered into on August 22, 2013 (as amended, the “Series A Purchase Agreement”), the Company agreed to sell to Flexpoint, and Flexpoint agreed to purchase from the Company, upon satisfaction of certain conditions, up to 133,333 shares of Series A Preferred a purchase price of $300 per share for an aggregate purchase price of up to $40.0 million in three tranches. 

On October 11, 2013, the Company issued 33,333 shares of Series A Preferred to Flexpoint for an aggregate of $10.0 million less certain agreed-upon reimbursable expenses of Flexpoint pursuant to the Series A Purchase Agreement. Additionally, the Company issued 4,667 shares of Series A Preferred to Flexpoint on April 14, 2014 for an aggregate of $1.4 million; 20,000 shares on November 7, 2014 for $6.0 million; 33,333 shares on December 28, 2014 for $10.0 million; and 8,333 shares on August 9, 2016 for $2.5 million.

On October 18, 2016, the Company amended and restated the Series A Purchase Agreement in part to facilitate the Company’s issuance and sale to Sundara of the 33,667 shares of Series A Preferred that had not yet been purchased by Flexpoint. Sundara purchased the remaining 33,667 shares of Series A Preferred in a single transaction for a purchase price of $10,100,100 ($300 per share) on October 18, 2016.

The shares of Series A Preferred are convertible into shares of common stock.  Any holder of Series A Preferred may at any time convert such holder’s shares of Series A Preferred into that number of shares of common stock equal to the number of shares of Series A Preferred being converted multiplied by $300 and divided by the then-applicable conversion price, which was initially $3.00. Under the Series A Purchase Agreement, Flexpoint and Sundara Investment Partners, LLC are provided with certain indemnification rights in the event of the incurrence of certain losses and expenses by the Company. On March 23, 2017, the conversion price of Series A Preferred was $2.36. Pursuant to an agreement by and among the Company, Flexpoint and Sundara, the Series A Preferred conversion price may be adjusted upward with the successful recovery of funds by the Company in the Company’s lawsuit against Valley National Bank. The conversion price of the Series A Preferred continues to be subject to downward adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events.

21

Share of Series A Preferred have a liquidation value of $600 per share (subject to adjustment for any stock split, stock dividend or other similar proportionate reduction or increase of the authorized number of shares of common stock) and will rank senior to the common stock with respect to distributions of assets upon the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up. Holders of Series A Preferred have the right to request redemption of any shares of Series A Preferred issued at least five (5) years prior to the date of such request by delivering written notice to the Company at the then applicable liquidation value per share, unless holders of a majority of the outstanding Series A Preferred elect to waive such redemption request on behalf of all holders of Series A Preferred, subject to certain exceptions.

In addition to the foregoing, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Series A-1 Purchase Agreement”) with Wellington dated May 1, 2014, the Company agreed to sell to Wellington, upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, up to 9,000 shares of Series A-1 Preferred at a purchase price of $300 per share for an aggregate purchase price of up to $2.7 million. On May 5, 2014, the Company issued 2,565 shares of Series A-1 Preferred to Wellington for an aggregate of $769,500, less certain agreed-upon reimbursable expenses of Wellington. Additionally, the Company issued to Wellington 1,350 shares of Series A-1 Preferred on November 20, 2014 for $405,000; 2,250 shares of Series A-1 Preferred on December 31, 2014 for $675,000; and 2,835 shares of Series A-1 Preferred on April 13, 2017 for $850,500. The proceeds of the total investment of $2.7 million by Wellington have been used for general corporate purposes.

Shares of Series A-1 Preferred are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock or, in certain circumstances, Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A-2 Preferred”). Shares of Series A-1 Preferred may be converted into that number of shares of common stock equal to the number of shares of Series A-1 Preferred being converted multiplied by $300 and divided by the then-applicable conversion price, which initially was $3.00 and subject to adjustment pursuant to the Series A-1 Purchase Agreement. As of March 31, 2018, the conversion price of Series A-1 Preferred was $2.45. Pursuant to an agreement by and among Wellington, the Series A-1 Preferred conversion price may be adjusted upward with the successful recovery of funds in the Company’s lawsuit against Valley National Bank. The conversion price of the Series A-1 Preferred is subject to further downward adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events as defined in the Series A-1 Purchase Agreement.

Shares of Series A-1 Preferred have an initial liquidation value of $600 per share (subject to adjustment for any stock split, stock dividend or other similar proportionate reduction or increase of the authorized number of shares of common stock) and rank senior to the Company’s common stock and pari passu with the Series A Preferred with respect to distributions of assets upon the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no holder of the Series A-1 Preferred can convert if, as a result of such conversion, such holder would beneficially own 9.9% or more of the Company’s common stock. If at any time, no shares of Series A Preferred remain outstanding and shares of Series A-1 Preferred remain outstanding because of the limitation in the preceding sentence, all shares of Series A-1 Preferred shall automatically convert into shares of Series A-2 Preferred at a 1:1 ratio. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Noncompliance, as defined in the Series A-1 Purchase Agreement, the holders of a majority of the Series A-1 Preferred may demand immediate redemption of all or a portion of the Series A-1 Preferred at the then-applicable liquidation value.

The Company considered the guidance of ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and ASC Topic 815, Derivatives, in determining the accounting treatment for its convertible preferred stock instruments. The Company considered the economic characteristics and the risks of the host contract based on the stated and implied substantive terms and features of the instruments; including, but not limited to, its redemption features, voting rights, and conversions rights; and determined that the terms of the preferred stock were more akin to an equity instrument than a debt instrument. Subject to certain exceptions applicable to Sundara, the shares of Series A Preferred and Series A-1 Preferred are subject to redemption, at the option of the holder, on or after the fifth anniversary of their original purchase. Accordingly, the convertible preferred stock has been classified as temporary equity in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Upon issuance of the 33,333 shares of the Series A Preferred, the Company recorded as a reduction to the Series A Preferred and as Additional Paid-In Capital a beneficial conversion feature of $1.5 million. The beneficial conversion feature represents the difference between the effective conversion price and the fair value of the Series A Preferred as of the commitment date. An additional beneficial conversion feature of $396,600 was recorded in August 2015 as a result of the change in conversion price per share of Series A Preferred from $3.00 to $2.90. Similarly, additional beneficial conversion features of $2.7 million and $2.2 million were recorded in March 2017 with respect to the shares of Series A Preferred issued and sold to Flexpoint in 2013 and the shares of Series A Preferred issued and sold to Sundara in 2016 as a result of the further change in conversion price per share of Series A Preferred from $2.90 to $2.36. There was no beneficial conversion feature related to the 2014, 2015 or the 2016 issuances and sales of shares of Series A Preferred to Flexpoint and shares of Series A-1 Preferred to Wellington as a result of the price of the Company’s common stock at the dates of the closings being below the effective adjusted conversion price of the preferred stock. The Company accounts for the beneficial conversion feature, the liquidation preference, and the issuance costs related to the Series A Preferred and Series A-1 Preferred using the effective interest method by accreting such amounts to its Series A Preferred and Series A-1 Preferred from the date of issuance to the earliest date of redemption as a reduction to its total permanent equity within the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ Deficit as a charge to Additional Paid-In Capital. Any accretion recorded during the periods presented are also shown as a reduction to the income available to common stockholders in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations when presenting basic and dilutive per share information. Accretion was $2.9 million and $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

22

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Noncompliance, the holders of a majority of the Series A Preferred may demand immediate redemption of all or a portion of the shares of Series A Preferred at the then-applicable liquidation value.  Such holders may also exercise a right to have the holders of the Series A Preferred elect a majority of the Board by increasing the size of the Board and filling such vacancies.  Such right to control a minimum majority of the Board would exist for so long as the Event of Noncompliance continues. An “Event of Noncompliance” shall have occurred if: (i) the Company fails to make any required redemption payment with respect to the Series A Preferred; (ii) the Company breaches the Series A Purchase Agreement and such breach has not been cured within thirty days after receipt of notice thereof; (iii) the Company or any subsidiary makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, admits its insolvency or is the subject of an order, judgment or decree adjudicating such entity as insolvent, among other similar actions; (iv) a final judgment in excess of $5.0 million is rendered against the Company or any subsidiary that is not discharged within 60 days thereafter; or (v) an event of default has occurred under a former JetPay HR & Payroll Services credit facility, and such event of default has not been cured within thirty days after receipt of notice thereof.

Note 9.    Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit)

Common Stock

On August 3, 2017, the Company issued 44,240 shares of the Company’s common stock with a fair market value of approximately $97,000, as bonus compensation to the Chief Executive Officer pursuant to the Company’s 2013 Stock Incentive Plan.

On February 28, 2018, the Company cancelled 291,946 shares of common stock that were being held in an escrow account at the Company’s transfer agent that were previously issued to certain initial shareholders of the Company. The shares were cancelled pursuant to the Stock Escrow Agreement dated May 13, 2011 among the Company, its transfer agent, and certain initial shareholders in that certain warrants related to the initial formation of the Company were not exercised by December 28, 2017.

Treasury Stock

On February 15, 2017, the Company repurchased 2.2 million shares of its common stock owned by WLES, which WLES had agreed to sell in connection with the now-settled Direct Air litigation matter as part of a settlement agreement between the Company, Trent Voigt and WLES dated July 26, 2016 (the “WLES Settlement Agreement”). JetPay had previously repaid the $5MM Merrick Note due to Merrick Bank in January 2017, for which WLES had agreed to indemnify JetPay as part of the WLES Settlement Agreement by agreeing to sell the 2.2 million shares to satisfy JetPay’s obligations in relation to the $5MM Merrick Note. Effective February 15, 2017, the 2.2 million shares of JetPay common stock were placed in treasury at a cost of $4.95 million and are available for issuance.

Preferred Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.001 per share with such designations, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s Board of Directors.

As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding other than the Series A Preferred issued to Flexpoint and Sundara and the Series A-1 Preferred issued to Wellington described above.

Stock-Based Compensation

ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, requires compensation expense for the grant-date fair value of share-based payments to be recognized over the requisite service period.

23

On July 5, 2017, the Board approved, subject to stockholder approval, the First Amendment to the 2013 Stock Incentive Plan, to issue up to an additional 1,000,000 shares of its common stock as awards for a total of 4,000,000 shares of common stock available under the Plan. The First Amendment was subsequently approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Company’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on August 15, 2017. The Company had available 1,215,762 shares of common stock for the grant of awards under the 2013 Stock Incentive Plan as of March 31, 2018.

The Company granted 75,000 shares of common stock under the 2013 Stock Incentive Plan during the three months ended March 31, 2017, at an exercise price of $3.00 per share. There were no options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2018. The grant date fair value of the options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2017 were determined to be approximately $89,000 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Aggregated stock-based compensation expense was $185,000 and $171,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Unrecognized compensation expense as of March 31, 2018 relating to non-vested common stock options was approximately $928,000 and is expected to be recognized through 2021. During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, no options were exercised or forfeited.

The fair values of the Company’s options were estimated at the dates of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
	2018	2017
Expected term (years)	-	6.25
Risk-free interest rate	-	2.10%
Volatility	-	62.3%
Dividend yield	-	0%

Expected term: The Company’s expected term is based on the period the options are expected to remain outstanding. The Company estimated this amount utilizing the “Simplified Method” in that the Company does not have sufficient historical experience to provide a reasonable basis to estimate an expected term.

Risk-free interest rate: The Company uses the risk-free interest rate of a U.S. Treasury Note with a similar term on the date of the grant.

Volatility: The Company calculates the volatility of the stock price based on historical value and corresponding volatility using a weighted average of both the Company’s stock price and the stock prices of comparable companies for a period consistent with the stock option expected term.

Dividend yield: The Company uses a 0% expected dividend yield as the Company has not paid dividends to date and does not anticipate declaring dividends in the near future.

24

A summary of stock option activity for the three months ended March 31, 2018 is presented below:

	Number of Options		Weighted Average Exercise Price
Outstanding at December 31, 2017		2,739,998	$	2.91
Granted		-		-
Forfeited		-		-
Exercised		-		-
Outstanding at March 31, 2018		2,739,998	$	2.91
Exercisable at March 31, 2018		1,804,574	$	2.89

The weighted average remaining life of options outstanding at March 31, 2018 was 7.47 years. The aggregate intrinsic value of the exercisable options at March 31, 2018 was $0.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

On June 29, 2015, the Board of Directors adopted the JetPay Corporation Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Purchase Plan"), which was subsequently approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Company’s 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The Purchase Plan allows employees to contribute a percentage of their cash earnings, subject to certain maximum amounts, to be used to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock on each of two (2) semi-annual purchase dates. The purchase price is equal to 90% of the market value per share on either: (a) the date of grant of a purchase right under the Purchase Plan; or (b) the date on which such purchase right is deemed exercised, whichever is lower.

As of March 31, 2018, an aggregate of 158,150 shares of common stock remained reserved for issuance under the Purchase Plan, with 51,480 shares of common stock issued on January 5, 2017, 40,310 shares of common stock issued on July 12, 2017 and 27,184 shares of common stock issued on January 23, 2018.

Note 10.    Income Taxes

The Company recorded income tax expense of $364,000 and $62,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Income tax expense reflects the recording of federal and state income taxes. The effective tax rate was approximately 8.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and greater than 100% for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The effective rate differs from the federal statutory rate for each period, primarily due to state and local income taxes, changes to the valuation allowance, and the recording of a deferred tax liability related to the uncertainty of the realization of the benefit for financial reporting purposes of the amortization of certain Intangibles for tax purposes as more fully described below.

JetPay Payments, TX is subject to and pays the Texas Margin Tax which is considered to be an income tax in accordance with the provisions of the Income Taxes Topic in FASB, ASC and the associated interpretations. There are no significant temporary differences associated with the Texas Margin Tax.

As of December 31, 2017, the Company had U.S. federal net operating loss carryovers (“NOLs”) of approximately $30.0 million and state NOLs of approximately $9.2 million available to offset future taxable income. These NOLs, if not utilized, expire at various times through 2036. In accordance with Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, deductibility of the Company’s NOLs may be subject to an annual limitation in the event of a change in control. The Company has not conducted a Code Section 382 NOL study in 2017 or 2018.

In December 2017, the federal government enacted numerous amendments to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 pursuant to an act known by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act will impact the Company’s income tax (benefit) from continuing operations in future periods. The Tax Act resulted in the following impacts to the Company: (i) the federal statutory income tax rate was reduced from 34% to 21% for 2018 and tax years following; and (ii) a one-time net expense of $3.4 million was recorded in the three months ended December 31, 2017 as a result of re-measuring our deferred tax balances at the new statutory rate. Upon completion of the Company’s 2017 U.S. income tax return in 2018, additional re-measurement adjustments may be identified to the recorded deferred tax liabilities and the one-time transition tax. Management will continue to assess the provision for income taxes as future guidance is issued, but do not currently anticipate significant revisions will be necessary. Any such revisions will be treated in accordance with the measurement period guidance outlined in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118.

25

In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. After consideration of all of the information available, management believes that a total valuation allowance of approximately $6.8 million at March 31, 2018 is appropriate, representing the amount of its deferred income tax assets in excess of certain of the Company’s deferred income tax liabilities. The deferred tax liability related to goodwill that is amortizable for tax purposes (“Intangibles”) will not reverse until such time, if any, that the goodwill, which is considered to be an asset with an indefinite life for financial reporting purposes, becomes impaired or sold. Due to the uncertain timing of this reversal, the temporary difference cannot be considered as future taxable income for purposes of determining a valuation allowance. Therefore, the deferred tax liability related to tax deductible Intangibles cannot be considered when determining the ultimate realization of deferred tax assets.

Note 11.   Commitments and Contingencies

At the time of the acquisition of JetPay, LLC, the Company entered into an Amendment, Guarantee, and Waiver Agreement, dated December 28, 2012, between the Company, Ten Lords, Ltd. (“Ten Lords”) and JetPay, LLC (n/k/a JetPay Payment Services, TX, LLC). Under the agreement, Ten Lords agreed to extend payment of a $6.0 million note remaining outstanding at the date of acquisition for up to twelve months. The terms of the agreement required that the Company provide the owners of Ten Lords and Providence Interactive Capital, LLC (together with Ten Lords, the “Plaintiffs”) with a “true up” payment meant to put them in the same after-tax economic position as they would have been had the note been paid in full on December 28, 2012. The Company calculated this true-up payment to be $222,310 and paid such amount in August 2015. In addition to the $222,310 paid in 2015, the Company recorded an additional loss accrual of $125,500 relating to this matter. Subsequent to the Company’s payment, the Company received notice on October 5, 2015 that Plaintiffs filed a lawsuit against JetPay, LLC and the Company disputing the true up payment. Since 2015, the Company and JetPay, LLC have been defendants in the lawsuit in the 429th Judicial District Court of Collin County, Texas (the “Court”) styled Ten Lords, Ltd. and Providence Interactive Capital, LLC, Cause No. 429-04140-2015. The lawsuit was tried in the Court on May 2, 2017 and the Court granted a judgment to Plaintiffs in the amount of $793,000 plus attorneys’ fees of $134,075, which judgment was entered by the Court on May 15, 2017. On July 3, 2017, the Company and JetPay, LLC successfully settled the lawsuit by entering into a Compromise Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release (the “Settlement Agreement”). Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company paid to Plaintiffs the sum of $872,500 on July 3, 2017 and the parties released one another and their respective affiliates from all claims arising out of the matters described in the Lawsuit and the Judgment. In connection with this settlement, the Company recorded an additional loss of $747,000 during the year ended December 31, 2017.

26

In December 2015, Harmony Press Inc. (“Harmony”), a customer of ADC and Payroll Tax Filing Services, a wholly-owned subsidiary of JetPay HR & Payroll Service, Inc. (“PTFS”), filed a suit against an employee of Harmony for theft by that employee of over $628,000. JetPay, ADC, and PTFS as well as several financial institution service providers to Harmony were also named in that suit for alleged negligence. The Company believes that the allegations in the suit regarding JetPay, ADC, and PTFS are groundless and has turned the matter over to the Company’s insurance carrier who is defending the suit. The Company is subject to a $50,000 deductible under its insurance policy. The Company has not recorded an accrual for any potential loss related to this matter as of March 31, 2018 and has incurred legal expense of $50,000 applied against its deductible, through March 31, 2018.

On June 12, 2017, JetPay Payment Services, TX LLC (“JetPay Payments, TX”) filed suit against J.T. Holdings, LTD (“J.T. Holdings”) and Trent Voigt with respect to a lease entered into by JetPay Payments, TX with J.T. Holdings’ property in Sunnyvale, TX. JetPay Payments, TX retains a computer backup center in the Sunnyvale, Texas location owned by J.T. Holdings, an entity controlled by Trent Voigt, the previous Chief Executive Officer of JetPay Payments, TX. The previous lease expired on January 31, 2016. While a new lease Agreement had not been signed, a dispute arose regarding the amount of rent to be paid, as well as the rights of the parties to access the property. Prior to filing the suit against J.T. Holdings, the Company’s access to the property was restored through a writ of reentry obtained from the Justice Court on June 8, 2017. On June 26, 2017, the Parties entered into an agreement whereby JetPay Payments, TX was granted an extension on the lease until June 30, 2018 at a rate of $6,000 per month and agreed to place into an escrow account $230,000 until all claims between the parties were adjudicated. On December 12, 2017, Trent Voigt and J.T. Holdings filed counterclaims against JetPay. The Company settled the matter with J.T. Holdings and Trent Voigt for $450,000, together with a release of all claims, on May 7, 2018. A loss accrual of $450,000 was recorded at March 31, 2018 within accounts payable and accrued expenses.

The Company is a party to various other legal proceedings related to its ordinary business activities. In the opinion of the Company’s management, none of these proceedings are material in relation to our results of operations, liquidity, cash flows, or financial condition.

At March 31, 2018, a letter of credit was outstanding for $100,000 as collateral with respect to a front-end processing relationship with a credit card company.

Note 12.    Related Party Transactions

Until February 28, 2018, JetPay HR & Payroll Services’ headquarters were located in Center Valley, Pennsylvania and consisted of approximately 22,500 square feet leased from C. Nicholas Antich, the former president of JetPay HR & Payroll Services, and Carol A. Antich. The office lease, expired on February 28, 2018. Rent expense under this lease was $135,500 for each of the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.

JetPay Payments, TX retains a backup center in Sunnyvale, Texas consisting of 1,600 square feet, rented from J.T.

Rent expense was $18,000 and $12,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. As a part of current negotiations with Mr. Voigt regarding the property and other related matters, the Company and J.T.

Commitments and Contingencies, and bore interest at an annual rate of 4% with interest expense of $0 recorded in each of the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The transaction was approved upon resolution and review by the Company’s Audit Committee of the terms of the note to ensure that such terms were no less favorable to the Company than those that would be available with respect to such transactions from unaffiliated third parties. This unsecured promissory note was paid down to $57,000 on August 30, 2017. See Note 7. Long-Term Debt, Notes Payable and Capital Lease Obligations.

Finally, on October 18, 2016, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement with JetPay HR & Payroll Services and PTFS, as borrowers, the Company and JetPay Payments, FL, as guarantors, and LHLJ, Inc., an entity controlled and majority-owned by Laurence L.

Overview

The Company entered the payment processing and the payroll processing businesses in connection with the acquisitions of JetPay Payment Services, TX, LLC (f/k/a JetPay, LLC) (“JetPay Payments, TX”) and JetPay HR & Payroll Services, Inc. (f/k/a A. D. Computer Corporation) (“JetPay HR & Payroll Services”) on December 28, 2012. Additionally, on November 7, 2014, the Company acquired JetPay Payment Services, PA, LLC (f/k/a ACI Merchant Systems, LLC) (“JetPay Payments, PA”), an independent sales organization specializing in relationships with banks, credit unions and other financial institutions. On June 2, 2016, the Company acquired JetPay Payment Services, FL, LLC (f/k/a CollectorSolutions, Inc.) (“JetPay Payments, FL”), a payment processor specializing in the processing of payments in the government and utilities channels.

We are a provider of debit and credit card processing, payroll and human capital management (“HCM”) services, and prepaid card services to businesses and their employees throughout the United States. We provide these services through four wholly-owned subsidiaries: (i) JetPay Payments, TX, which provides debit and credit card processing and automated clearing house payment services to businesses with a focus on processing omni-channel (internet, mobile, and point-of-sale) transactions and recurring billings; (ii) JetPay Payments, PA, an independent sales organization specializing in relationships with banks, credit unions, other financial institutions and strategic partners; (iii) JetPay Payments, FL, a debit and credit card processor specializing in providing services to government agencies and utilities; and (iv) JetPay HR & Payroll Services, which provides HCM services, including, payroll, tax filing, time and attendance, HR services, Affordable Care Act services and related services to small and medium-sized employers.  We also provide prepaid card services within our HR & Payroll Segment.

Our overall business strategy is to provide payment processing services to small to large-sized businesses with a high percentage of our revenues consisting of recurring revenues with strong margins and with relatively low capital requirements. Our corporate strategy is to increase our revenues through a combination of organic growth and acquisitions. Our organic growth strategy is focused on developing and increasing our current marketing and sales staff at JetPay Payment Services and JetPay HR & Payroll Services to penetrate new customer niches and geographic markets. Our organic growth strategy also includes cross marketing initiatives to sell credit and debit card processing services to JetPay HR & Payroll Services’ payroll customers and payroll processing services to JetPay Payment Services’ credit and debit card processing customers. Additionally, we will be seeking additional debt and/or equity capital to acquire additional credit and debit card processors, ISVs, ISOs and/or payroll processors to integrate into our JetPay Payment Services and JetPay HR & Payroll Services operations. Our acquisition strategy is focused on identifying small to medium-sized companies that either provide services similar to ours or services that expand our product and service offerings and/or our geographic reach.  Both our JetPay Payment Services and our JetPay HR & Payroll Services operations have significant under-utilized processing capacity, which can be leveraged to create additional revenues without significant cost increases.   Our overall strategy also includes looking for cost synergies as we continue to integrate the JetPay Payment Services and JetPay HR & Payroll Services operations in such areas as insurance costs, banking costs, employee benefit costs, and other selling, general and administrative cost as well as operating cost areas.

Payment Services Segment

Revenues

JetPay Payments, TX and JetPay Payments, PA’s revenues fall into two categories: transaction revenues and merchant discount revenues. As such, our two primary drivers are the number of transactions and merchant dollar volume. A third measure related to merchant dollar volume, for those merchants where we charge a percentage of the sale amount, is the average size of the transaction, as costs for processing the transaction tend to be fixed, so that the higher the average ticket, the more revenue we earn for a fixed cost. JetPay’s discount revenues are generally a fixed percentage of the merchant’s dollar volume, with interchange and other third-party fees passed through to the merchant without markup. Our billings to merchants primarily consist of these transaction fees and discount fees, as well as pass-through fees for other miscellaneous services, such as handling chargebacks. With respect to many of the Company’s government and utility clients, as well as the JetX cash discount product, the cardholder is charged a specific transaction fee, instead of the merchant being charged for these fees. In all cases, interchange costs are set by the card networks, and are paid directly by the sponsoring bank to the credit card associations based upon a percentage of transaction amounts and/or a fixed price per transaction. JetPay Payment Services refers to the ratio of revenues net of interchange and network fees (dues and assessments) to the dollar amount of card transactions processed as the “margin.” If margin increases, revenues will tend to increase accordingly. Further, both the number of merchants who process transactions, and the average dollar amount of transactions processed per merchant, will impact the total transaction volume and thus the total revenues. As such, growth in JetPay’s merchant count and/or growth in the same store transaction volume will also drive JetPay’s revenue growth.

JetPay Payments, FL generates substantially all of its revenues from transaction fees paid by cardholders for processing payment transactions. For credit card transactions, our fee may be charged as a fixed fee or as a percentage of the dollars processed. As such, the two primary factors affecting our revenue from accepting and processing credit card payments are the number of transactions and the average dollar volume of the transaction. Accordingly, growth in JetPay Payments, FL’s client count and growth in the “same client” transaction dollar volume impact JetPay Payments FL’s revenue growth. In the case of e-check (ACH) payments, typically our fees are charged as a fixed fee per transaction regardless of the payment amount.

The Company’s revenue streams within the Payment Services Segment include Financial Institutions revenues, Government Agency & Utility revenues, and Partners & e-Commerce revenues. Within the Payment Services segment, the transaction price consists primarily of usage-based variable consideration, as the total consideration to be received is based on the number of transactions and dollar volume that will be processed by the Company for the merchant customer. The Company’s performance obligations in the Payment Services Segment are satisfied over time as customers receive and obtain control of the payment processing service. The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient for measuring progress towards the completion of a performance obligation and recognizes revenue as the Company has the right to invoice each customer, which generally corresponds with the number of transactions and dollar volume processed on behalf of the merchant customers.

The Company notes the most significant impact of adopting ASC Topic 606 is the result of gross versus net presentation of certain fees in the Payment Services Segment. Under ASC Topic 606, the Company reflects revenue net of certain fees that the Company pays to third parties, including interchange, which is earned by the cardholder’s issuing bank, and dues and assessments, which are earned by the credit card associations. The Company previously reported certain of these items as revenues and cost of revenues under existing standards. This change in presentation will have no effect on the reported amount of operating income; however, the Company’s total revenues and cost of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2017 are both lower by $5.2 million. This reduction in revenues and cost of revenues is presented in the accompanying quarterly financial statements and disclosures herein.

31

Expenses

The most significant components of operating expenses are residual payments to ISOs / VARs / ISVs, strategic partners, and financial institutions and salaries and other employment costs. Salaries and other employment costs are largely fixed in nature, increasing slightly with the growth in numbers of customers, but tending to grow with inflation. Credit card fees and bank sponsorship costs are generally a percentage of card volume. Bank sponsorship costs and processing fees are largely based upon transaction counts and volumes. Selling, general and administrative expenses include stable costs such as occupancy and office costs, outside services, and depreciation and amortization expense, which is recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets. Cost of revenues also includes chargeback losses, which vary over the long term based upon transaction volume processed by JetPay’s merchants, but can vary from period to period depending upon specific events in that period.

Markets

We have defined four distinct market verticals within which the Payment Services Segment operates: (i) Partners, especially those that leverage the e-Commerce and Recurring Payments strengths of JetPay’s technology platform; (ii) e-Commerce, including Card-Not-Present and recurring payments; (iii) government and utilities; and (iv) financial institutions and associations. JetPay also operates where we have strategic advantages due to technology; product, or partner relationships, including ISOs, VARs, and small businesses through cross-sell. For small businesses and financial institutions, JetPay Payment Services is the traditional provider of merchant services to businesses, and holds the contracts. With respect to the other three markets, JetPay Payment Services operates in two forms: (i) as a processor only where JetPay Payment Services recognizes revenues from the authorization, clearing, and settlement functions and does not participate in the discount revenue or risk of the merchant; and (ii) in a shared relationship, where JetPay Payment Services either owns the merchant contract outright or shares in the discount revenue of the merchant with an ISO, ISV, VAR, Financial Institution, or other strategic partner, and may assume or share risk. This market experienced strong growth in 2017 and JetPay Payment Services expects to significantly increase this revenue area as the operations group solidifies the product offering and execution. Sales and marketing began targeting new customers and customer segments in 2016 and 2017 and we anticipate such efforts will lead to continued revenue growth in 2018 and future years.

Within our JetPay Payments, FL’s operation, our focus is on government, utility, and not-for-profit entities. We identified these specific markets because, in our experience, these clients are experiencing a faster growth rate than the electronic payments industry in general, and tend to have a more favorable risk profile. We believe that clients in these markets provide us with growth not only from the initial acquisition of a client that may not have been previously accepting electronic payments or accepting only minimal electronic payments, but also additional growth as our client’s customers learn of the ability to pay electronically as they increase their use and adoption of credit and debit card payments instead of check or cash payments.

HR & Payroll Segment

Revenues

The majority of revenues from JetPay HR & Payroll Services have traditionally been derived from its payroll processing operations, which includes the calculation, preparation, collection and delivery of employer payroll obligations and the production of internal accounting records and management reports, and from services provided for the preparation of federal, state, and local payroll tax returns, including the collection and remittance of clients’ payroll tax obligations.  In fiscal year 2017 and the quarter ended March 31, 2018, JetPay Payroll & HR Services placed a significant emphasis on providing additional HCM services that complement the core payroll and tax filing businesses, including onboarding, time and attendance, compliance, and other services that are becoming increasingly important to mid-size and large employers. JetPay has already experienced strong revenue growth from these products, and anticipates that these revenues will become an increasingly important incremental source of revenues. JetPay HR & Payroll Services experiences increased revenues in the fourth and first calendar quarters due to additional employer annual tax filing requirements. Payroll Tax Filing Services (“PTFS”) trust account earnings represent the interest earned on the funds held for clients trust balance. Trust fund earnings can fluctuate based on the amount held in the trust account as well as fluctuations in interest rates. Over the past two years, JetPay HR & Payroll Services has seen a significant increase in revenues from its HCM, Affordable Care Act and time and attendance services.

32

Within the HR & Payroll Services Segment, the transaction price consists primarily of fixed consideration which is the price negotiated at contract inception for the services to be provided. The Company’s performance obligations within the HR & Payroll Services Segment are satisfied at a point in time or over time depending upon the services rendered and how control is transferred to the customer. Payroll processing services are satisfied over time since the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits as the Company performs. The Company utilizes the right to invoice practical expedient to recognize revenue as the Company is paid a fixed amount based upon payroll processing frequency and the number of active employees paid during that payroll processing period. For all other revenue streams within the HR & Payroll Services segment, performance obligations are satisfied at a point in in time, which is when the delivery of the service to the customer has occurred.

Expenses

JetPay HR & Payroll Services’ most significant cost of revenues is its payroll and related expenses, costs of third party service providers, and facility overhead costs.  These costs are largely fixed in nature, increasing slightly with the growth in numbers of customers and payrolls processed, and except for payroll costs, tend to grow with inflation. JetPay HR & Payroll Services’ selling, general, and administrative expenses include the costs of the administrative and sales staff, payroll delivery costs, outside services, rent, office expense, insurance, sales and marketing costs and professional services costs.

Revenues

Revenues were $15.9 million and $14.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Overall revenues increased $1.4 million, or 9.5%, for the three months ended March 31, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017. Of the $15.9 million of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2018, $5.4 million, or 34.3%, was generated from our HR & Payroll Segment and $10.4 million, or 65.7%, from our Payment Services Segment. Of the $14.5 million of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2017, $5.4 million, or 37.1%, was generated from our HR & Payroll Segment and $9.1 million, or 62.9%, from our Payment Services Segment.

Payment Services Segment’s revenues increased $1.3 million, or 14.4%, for the three months ended March 31, 2018 as compared to 2017. This increase was attributable to net revenue growth in our Government and Utilities, e-Commerce, and ISO/ISV sectors, including growth in JetX, our discount for cash product.

HR & Payroll Segment’s revenues increased $59,000, or 1.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017. This increase was attributable to net growth in volume of payroll and related payroll taxes processed in addition to revenues generated from HCM services introduced in 2015, offset by the reclassification of W-2 processing revenues of approximately $542,000 in the three months ending March 31, 2017 from the three months ending December 31, 2016, under the new accounting standard ASC Topic 606.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues were $8.1 million, or 51.3% of revenues, and $7.5 million, or 51.3% of revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Of the $8.1 million cost of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2018, $2.3 million, or 28.4%, related to our HR & Payroll Segment, and $5.8 million, or 71.6%, related to our Payment Services Segment. Of the $7.5 million cost of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2017, $2.3 million, or 30.7%, related to our HR & Payroll Segment and $5.2 million, or 69.3%, related to our Payment Services Segment.

The cost of revenues within the Payment Services Segment increased $669,000, or 13.0%, for the three months ended March 31, 2018, as compared to the same period in 2017, but decreased as a percent of revenues from 56.5% of revenues in fiscal year 2017 to 55.8% of revenues in fiscal year 2018. Overall gross profit margin as reported within our Payment Services Segment improved slightly from 43.5% in the three months ended March 31, 2017 to 44.2% for the same period in 2018.

The cost of revenues within the HR & Payroll Segment increased $29,000, or 1.3%, for the three months ended March 31, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017, maintaining the same percentage of revenues of 42.5% in both fiscal year 2017 and fiscal year 2018 due to increases in HR related service revenues absorbing our continued investment in technology, customer service professionals and new product management. Gross profit margin within our HR & Payroll Segment was 57.5% for both the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $5.9 million, or 37.0% of revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2018 as compared to $4.8 million, or 33.2% of revenues, for the same period in fiscal year 2017.

SG&A expenses within the Payment Services Segment increased from $2.6 million in fiscal year 2017 to $2.9 million in fiscal 2018, but decreased as a percent of revenues from 27.9% in fiscal year 2017 to 27.5% of revenues in fiscal year 2018. The $317,000 increase was largely the result of the continued increase in sales staff and marketing costs to attract new business.

SG&A expenses within our HR & Payroll Segment increased from $1.4 million, or 26.5% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2017 to $1.6 million in 2018, or 29.5% of revenues, an increase of approximately $177,000, or 12.4%, largely due to an increase in payroll costs as additional sales and technology professionals were added to develop new products and services and execute our HCM revenue growth strategies.

Additionally, we incurred corporate SG&A expenses of $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, net of` $350,000 of management fees received from the Company’s operating divisions, as compared to corporate SG&A expenses of $834,000 in the same period of 2017, net of $450,000 of management fees received from the operating divisions. Corporate SG&A expenses include, but are not limited to, the salaries of our executive officers, outside professional fees, acquisition costs, investor relations and other public company costs, and general corporate operating expenses. Corporate SG&A expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2018 included non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $185,000 as compared to $171,000 for the same period in 2017. The increase in corporate SG&A expenses was principally related to increased professional services fees.

35

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization totaled $1.2 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense in fiscal year 2018 as compared to fiscal year 2017 was primarily related to increased depreciation expense on 2017 and 2018 capital expenditures.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 was $267,000 and $295,000, respectively. The decrease in interest expense in three month period ended March 31, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017 was primarily due to a reduction in interest expense related to notes issued to Merrick on July 26, 2016, which were paid in full in January 2017.

Income Taxes

The Company recorded income tax expense of $364,000 and $62,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Income tax expense reflects the recording of state income taxes as well as the reduction of the Company’s overall valuation allowance due to indefinite-lived assets. The effective tax rate was approximately 8.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and greater than 100% for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The effective rate differs from the federal statutory rate for each year, primarily due to state and local income taxes and changes to the valuation allowance.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash was $6.7 million at March 31, 2018, excluding $1.9 million of cash deposited into restricted cash accounts. The ratio of our total debt to total capitalization, which consists of total debt, convertible preferred stock, and stockholders’ equity (deficit), was 20% and 21% at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. As of March 31, 2018, we had working capital, excluding funds held for clients and client funds obligations, of $48,000.

The Company expects to fund its operating cash needs for the next fifteen months, including debt service requirements, capital expenditures and possible future acquisitions, with cash flow from its operating activities, sales of equity securities, including current and future borrowings.

In the past, the Company has been successful in obtaining loans and selling its equity securities. To fund the Company’s current debt service needs, satisfy the potential redemption of shares of preferred stock, expand its technology platforms for new business initiatives, and pursue possible future acquisitions, the Company may need to raise additional capital through loans or additional sales of equity securities. The Company continues to investigate the capital markets for sources of funding, which could take the form of additional debt, the restructuring of our current debt, or additional equity financing. The Company cannot provide any assurance that it will be successful in securing new financing or restructuring its current debt or that it will secure such future financing with commercially acceptable terms. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may need to delay certain technology capital improvements, limit its planned level of capital expenditures and future growth plans or explore other alternatives, including the possible disposal of operating assets to generate cash to sustain operations and fund ongoing capital investments.

As disclosed in Note 8. Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, from October 11, 2013 to August 9, 2016, we sold 99,666 shares of Series A Preferred to Flexpoint for an aggregate of $29.9 million, less certain costs. Additionally, on October 18, 2016, we sold 33,667 shares of Series A Preferred to Sundara for $10.1 million, less certain costs. In connection with the sale of shares of Series A Preferred to Sundara, we also entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with LHLJ, Inc., an affiliate of Sundara, for a term loan in the principal amount of $9.5 million, with $5.175 million of the proceeds used to simultaneously satisfy the remaining balances of a term loan and a revolving credit note payable to First National Bank of Pennsylvania. See Note 7. Long-Term Debt, Notes Payable and Capital Lease Obligations. Both Sundara and LHLJ are majority-owned and controlled by Laurence L. Stone, who was appointed as a director of the Company by the holders of the Series A Preferred shares in October 18, 2016. These two transactions provided approximately $14.0 million of net working capital that we used and expect to use for general working capital needs, the payment of other debt instruments, and for future capital needs, including a portion of the cost of potential future acquisitions. Finally, from May 5, 2014 to April 13, 2017, we sold 9,000 shares of Series A-1 Preferred, to an affiliate of Wellington Capital Management, LLP (“Wellington”) for an aggregate of $2.7 million. Additionally, as disclosed in Note 9. Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit), from December 22, 2015 to January 22, 2016, we sold to certain accredited investors, including Bipin C. Shah, Robert B. Palmer, and Jonathan M. Lubert, an aggregate of 517,037 shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $2.70 per share for aggregate consideration of $1,396,000, prior to issuance costs.

36

Capital expenditures, including equipment financed through capital leases, were $1.3 million and $379,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. We currently estimate capital expenditures, including equipment potentially financed through capital leases, for all of our ongoing operations, including the Payment Services Segment and HR & Payroll Services Segment, at approximately $1.8 million to $2.3 million for the remainder of 2018, principally related to technology improvements and software development for the implementation of major new customer contracts. Our capital requirements include working capital for daily operations, including expenditures to maintain and upgrade our technology platforms and to purchase point-of-sale equipment as required under certain customer contracts. Our operations currently generate sufficient cash flow to satisfy our current operating needs and our routine debt service requirements.

The Company may from time to time determine that additional investments are prudent to maintain and increase stockholder value. In addition to funding ongoing working capital needs, the Company’s cash requirements for the next fifteen months ending June 30, 2019 include, but are not limited to, principal and interest payments on long-term debt and capital lease obligations of approximately $5.2 million, the potential cost of redeeming up to $24.3 million Series A and Series A-1 Preferred Shares, and estimated capital expenditures of $2.6 million to $3.0 million, $1.3 million of which the Company expects to fund with existing available credit facilities.

On October 11, 2013, the Company issued the initial tranche of 33,333 shares of Series A Preferred to Flexpoint for an aggregate value of $10.0 million. Additionally, on April 14, 2014, the Company issued the second tranche of 4,667 shares of Series A Preferred to Flexpoint for an aggregate value of $1.4 million and 2,565 shares of Series A-1 Preferred to Wellington on April 14, 2014 for an aggregate value of $769,500. On or after October 11, 2018, the fifth anniversary of the initial preferred shares issuance, the holders of the shares of Series A Preferred have the right to require the Company to repurchase any or all of such shares of Series A Preferred at the contractual redemption price of $600 per share or up to approximately $20.0 million. Also, on or after April 14, 2019, the fifth anniversary of the second preferred shares issuance, the holders of the Series A Preferred can require the Company to repurchase any or all of the 4,667 shares issued on April 11, 2014 at the contractual redemption price of $600 per share or up to approximately $2.8 million. Should the holders of the shares of the Series A Preferred exercise their redemption rights as described above, the holders of the Series A-1 Preferred may also redeem a proportionate amount of their shares outstanding up to an aggregate value of approximately $1.54 million. The Company is exploring alternative financing opportunities should the Series A Preferred stockholders exercise their redemption rights, including exploring alternative equity or debt investments, or the possible sale of operating assets to generate sufficient liquidity. The Company believes that certain of its assets have sufficient value to meet this possible liquidity need and accordingly does not believe the potential liquidation event raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Debt Capitalization and Other Financing Arrangements

At March 31, 2018, we had borrowings of approximately $15.7 million net of unamortized deferred financing costs of $240,000.

JetPay Payments, PA, as borrower, and the Company, as guarantor, entered into a Loan and Security Agreement on November 7, 2014 with First National Bank (as amended, the “JetPay Payments, PA Credit Facility”) and obtained a term loan with a principal amount of $7.5 million. Amounts outstanding under the loan accrue interest at a rate of 5.25% per annum. The loan matures on November 6, 2021 and amortizes in equal monthly installments of $104,167. The principal balance of this term loan was $4.5 million at March 31, 2018. Additional principal payments may be required at the end of each fiscal year based on a free cash flow calculation set forth in the Loan and Security Agreement.

On June 2, 2016, in connection with the closing of the JetPay Payments, FL acquisition, JetPay Payments, FL and the Company entered into a credit agreement with Fifth Third Bank. In connection with the credit agreement, JetPay Payments, FL issued in favor of Fifth Third Bank a term note with a principal amount of $1,068,960 and a $500,000 revolving note to refinance certain credit arrangements of JetPay Payments, FL in place at another financial institution prior to the closing of the transaction. The term note matures on November 30, 2019 and bears interest at 4.00%. The revolving note as amended on June 22, 2017 (as described below), matures on June 2, 2018, and the bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.00% for the applicable interest period. The term note and the revolving note are secured by the assets of JetPay Payments, FL and guaranteed by JetPay. On March 23, 2016 and June 22, 2017, the Company entered into a Modification of Credit Agreement and Other Loan Documents that amended the definition of “fixed charge coverage ratio” to account for expected capital expenditures with respect to the Company’s “Magic Platform.” The credit agreement contains certain customary covenants, including a financial covenant related to JetPay Payments, FL’s fixed charge coverage ratio, which the Company was in compliance as of March 31, 2018. At March 31, 2018, the principal balance of the term note was $553,000.

37

On June 22, 2017, JetPay Payments, FL entered into another credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Fifth Third Bank, which provides a $1,600,000 Draw/Term Note to finance software integration costs, an Amended and Restated Revolving Promissory Note for $1,000,000 (increased from a previous revolving promissory note for $500,000), and a Second Modification of Credit Agreement. At March 31, 2018, $1.2 million was outstanding against the $1.6 million Draw/Term Note.

The Draw/Term Note provides for a twelve (12) month draw period through June 22, 2018 (“the Conversion Date”), at which time the loan converts to a 36 month amortizing term loan, which matures on June 22, 2021. The Draw/Term Note bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 3.00%. The Draw/Term Note is payable in monthly installments beginning on the Conversion Date and can be prepaid without penalty or premium at any time.

The $1,000,000 Amended and Restated Revolving Promissory Note renews, amends, replaces and supersedes the original $500,000 Revolving Promissory Note, extending maturity to June 1, 2018 and bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.00% for the Interest Period. The Amended and Restate Revolving Promissory Note is expected to be used to extend temporary credit to cover JetPay Payments, FL’s customers’ processing return items.

The Second Modification amends and restates the original term loan to JetPay Payments, FL dated June 2, 2016 in the original principal amount of $1,068,960 to incorporate certain terms in the new Credit Agreement, including incorporating revised debt covenants, financial reporting requirements, collateral requirements, modifications to parent guarantees, and representations and warranties of Borrower. Additionally, JetPay Payments, FL entered into a Master Equipment Lease Agreement and related Interim Lease Funding Schedule with the Lender to provide up to $1.5 million of lease financing for certain point-of-sale equipment related to certain JetPay Payments, FL customer contracts and other computer equipment. The Interim Lease Funding Schedule provides the details of the allowable equipment to finance and provides for an interim draw periods through June 30, 2018. Upon completion of an interim draw, the leases under Master Lease Agreement will have a term not exceeding 48 months at an interest rate of LIBOR plus 3.00% until termed out on a schedule, at which time such leases will amortize and bear interest at a fixed rate set forth in the applicable schedule. At March 31, 2018, $592,000 was outstanding against the $1.5 million lease facility. The Term Notes, the Revolving Note and the Master Lease Agreement are guaranteed by JetPay Corporation pursuant to a guaranty dated June 22, 2017, by and between JetPay Corporation and Fifth Third Bank in respect of the Term Notes and Master Lease Agreement and the guaranty, dated June 22, 2017, by and between the JetPay Corporation and Lender in respect of the Revolving Note (collectively, the “Guaranty Agreements”). The Guaranty Agreement requires that the Company maintain a $2,000,000 minimum liquidity level while there outstanding amounts owed under the various credit arrangements.

On October 18, 2016, JetPay HR & Payroll Services and PTFS, as borrowers, entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with LHLJ, Inc., a Delaware corporation controlled by Laurence L. Stone, as lender, for a term loan in the principal amount of $9.5 million. The underlying promissory note bears interest at 8.00%. The loan matures on October 18, 2021 and is payable in equal monthly installments of principal and interest of $128,677 with a final payment of $4.75 million at maturity. The obligations of the borrowers under the Loan Agreement are guaranteed by the Company and JetPay Payments, FL, and are secured by all of the assets of JetPay HR & Payroll Services, PTFS and JetPay Payments, FL, as well as a pledge by the Company of its ownership interests in JetPay HR & Payroll Services and PTFS. The Loan Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness, liens, transactions with affiliates and other customary restrictions for loans of this type and size. The borrowers are also subject to financial covenants relating to their debt coverage ratio and total leverage ratio during the term of the loan. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of March 31, 2018. The principal balance of this term loan was $8.34 million at March 31, 2018.

Our ongoing ability to comply with the debt covenants under our credit arrangements and to refinance our debt depends largely on the achievement of adequate levels of cash flow. If our future cash flows are less than expected or our debt service, including interest expense, increases more than expected, causing us to default on any of the loan covenants in the future, we will need to obtain amendments or waivers from the applicable lender. In the event that non-compliance with the debt covenants should occur in the future, we would pursue various alternatives in an attempt to successfully resolve the non-compliance, which might include, among other things, seeking additional debt covenant waivers or amendments or refinancing debt with other financial institutions. There can be no assurance that debt covenant waivers or amendments would be obtained, if needed, or that the debt could be refinanced with other financial institutions on favorable terms.

Additionally, in connection with, the November 2014 $7.5 million term loan, payable to First National Bank, we incurred $76,000 of deferred financing costs, respectively. Additionally, within JetPay Payments, FL, we incurred $95,000 of deferred financing fees related to the June 2016 issuance of a promissory notes and $16,600 of deferred financing fees related to term note and revolving note, each in favor of Fifth Third Bank, and $310,000 of deferred financing fees related to the LHLJ, Inc. Loan Agreement, related to the HR & Payroll Services operation. Unamortized deferred financing costs were $240,000 at March 31, 2018.

Cash provided by financing activities totaled $15.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, which included $1.0 million of cash used for payments on long-term debt, offset by proceeds from notes payable of $101,000, an increase of $16.0 million in client fund obligations, and proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $51,000.

Seasonality

The Payment Services Segment has generally experienced increased revenues during the first and second quarters due to seasonal volumes of certain merchants, including vacation, travel, and government and utility clients and their billing cycles, with the government and utilities also providing some seasonality with increased revenues in the fourth quarter.

HR & Payroll Services Segment’s revenues are recognized in the period services are rendered and earned. The HR & Payroll Services Segment’s experiences increased revenues during the first and fourth quarters due to the processing of additional year-end tax filing requirements. Accordingly, revenues and earnings are greater in the first and fourth quarter than in the second and third quarters.

Effects of Inflation

The Payment Services Segment’s and HR & Payroll Services Segment’s monetary assets, consisting primarily of cash and receivables, are not significantly affected by inflation. Non-monetary assets, consisting primarily of property and equipment, are not affected by inflation. We believe that replacement costs of equipment, furniture and leasehold improvements will not materially affect our operations. However, the rate of inflation affects our expenses, such as those for employee compensation and other operating expenses, which may not be readily recoverable in the price of services offered by us. The rate of inflation can also affect our revenues by affecting our client’s payroll processing volumes and our merchant charge volume and corresponding changes to revenues. While these can be positive or negative, since a portion of the Payment Services Segment’s revenues are derived as a percentage of dollar volume processed, the Payment Services Segment’s revenues will generally rise when inflation rises. Additionally, the HR & Payroll Services Segment’s revenues include the interest earned on the funds held for clients’ investment trust account balance.  Trust fund earnings can fluctuate based on the amount held in the trust account as well as fluctuations in interest rates.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

We are a smaller reporting company. As a result, we are not required to report the information required by Item 305 of Regulation S-K.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, or CEO, and our Chief Financial Officer, or CFO, we completed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and the CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, including the accumulation and communication of disclosures to the Company’s CEO and CFO as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, were effective as of March 31, 2018 to provide reasonable assurance that information that is required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Control

There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during our quarter ended March 31, 2018 that are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

Note 2.   Business Operations and Liquidity

The Company currently operates in two business segments: (i) the Payment Services Segment and (ii) the HR & Payroll Services Segment. The Payment Services Segment is an end-to-end processor of credit and debit card and automated clearing house payment transactions that focuses on processing omni-channel (internet, mobile, and point-of-sale) transactions and recurring billings for traditional retailers, government and utility, and service providers. The HR & Payroll Services Segment provides human capital management (“HCM”) services, including full-service payroll and related payroll tax payment processing, time and attendance, HCM services, low-cost money management and payment services to unbanked and underbanked employees through prepaid debit cards, and services under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the “Affordable Care Act”).

The Company entered the payment processing and the payroll processing businesses upon consummation of the acquisitions of JetPay Payment Services, TX, LLC (f/k/a JetPay, LLC) (“JetPay Payments, TX”) and JetPay HR & Payroll Services, Inc. (f/k/a A. D. Computer Corporation) (“JetPay HR & Payroll Services”) on December 28, 2012. Additionally, on November 7, 2014, the Company acquired JetPay Payment Services, PA, LLC (f/k/a ACI Merchant Systems, LLC) (“JetPay Payments, PA”), an independent sales organization specializing in relationships with banks, credit unions and other financial institutions.  On June 2, 2016, the Company acquired JetPay Payment Services, FL, LLC (f/k/a CollectorSolutions, Inc.) (“JetPay Payments, FL”), a payment processor specializing in the processing of payments in the government and utilities channels.

The Company expects to fund its operating cash needs for the next fifteen months, including debt service requirements, capital expenditures and possible future acquisitions, with cash flow from its operating activities, sales of equity securities, including the recent sale of preferred stock, and current and future borrowings. The Company believes that the investments made in its technology, infrastructure, and sales staff will help generate cash flows in the future sufficient to cover its working capital needs. As discussed below, the Company is currently exploring a variety of options with respect to the potential redemption of up to $24.3 million of shares of Series A and Series A-1 Preferred by Flexpoint and Wellington beginning on or after October 11, 2018.

In the past, the Company has been successful in obtaining loans and selling its equity securities. To fund the Company’s current debt service needs, satisfy the potential redemption of shares of preferred stock, expand its technology platforms for new business initiatives, and pursue possible future acquisitions, the Company may need to raise additional capital through loans or additional sales of equity securities. The Company continues to investigate the capital markets for sources of funding, which could take the form of additional debt, the restructuring of our current debt, or additional equity financing. The Company cannot provide any assurance that it will be successful in securing new financing or restructuring its current debt or that it will secure such future financing with commercially acceptable terms. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may need to delay certain technology capital improvements, limit its planned level of capital expenditures and future growth plans, or explore other alternatives, including the possible disposal of operating assets to generate cash to sustain operations and fund ongoing capital investments.

As disclosed in Note 8. Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, between October 11, 2013 and August 9, 2016, the Company sold 99,666 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series A Preferred”), to Flexpoint Fund II, L.P. (“Flexpoint”) for an aggregate of $29.9 million, less certain costs. Additionally, on October 18, 2016, the Company sold 33,667 shares of Series A Preferred to Sundara Investment Partners, LLC (“Sundara”) for $10.1 million, less certain costs. In connection with the sale of shares of Series A Preferred to Sundara, the Company also entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with LHLJ, Inc., an affiliate of Sundara, for a term loan in the principal amount of $9.5 million, with $5.175 million of the proceeds used to simultaneously satisfy the remaining balances of a term loan and a revolving credit note payable to First National Bank of Pennsylvania. See Note 7. Long-Term Debt, Notes Payable and Capital Lease Obligations. These transactions provided approximately $14.0 million of net working capital, which the Company has used for general working capital purposes, the payment of debt and for future capital needs, including a portion of the cost of potential future acquisitions. Finally, between May 5, 2014 and April 13, 2017, the Company sold 9,000 shares of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series A-1 Preferred”), to an affiliate of Wellington Capital Management, LLP (“Wellington”) for an aggregate of $2.7 million.

The Company may from time to time determine that additional investments are prudent to maintain and increase stockholder value. In addition to funding ongoing working capital needs, the Company’s cash requirements for the next fifteen months ending June 30, 2019 include, but are not limited to, principal and interest payments on long-term debt and capital lease obligations of approximately $5.2 million and estimated capital expenditures of $2.6 million to $3.0 million, $1.3 million of which the Company expects to fund with existing available credit facilities.

Additionally, there are 133,333 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred and 9,000 shares of the Company’s Series A-1 Preferred outstanding, with an aggregate redemption value of $85.4 million. On October 11, 2013, the Company issued the initial tranche of 33,333 shares of Series A Preferred to Flexpoint for an aggregate value of $10.0 million. On April 14, 2014, the Company issued the second tranche of 4,667 shares of Series A Preferred to Flexpoint for an aggregate value of $1.4 million and 2,565 shares of Series A-1 Preferred to Wellington on April 14, 2014 for an aggregate value of $769,500. On or after October 11, 2018, the fifth anniversary of the initial preferred shares issuance, the holders of the shares of Series A Preferred have the right to require the Company to repurchase any or all of such shares of Series A Preferred at the contractual redemption price of $600 per share or up to approximately $20.0 million. Also, on or after April 14, 2019, the fifth anniversary of the second preferred shares issuance, the holders of the Series A Preferred can require the Company to repurchase any or all of the 4,667 shares issued on April 11, 2014 at the contractual redemption price of $600 per share or up to approximately $2.8 million. Should the holders of the shares of the Series A Preferred exercise their redemption rights as described above, the holders of the Series A-1 Preferred may also redeem a proportionate amount of their shares outstanding up to an aggregate value of approximately $1.54 million. The Company is exploring alternative financing opportunities should the Series A Preferred stockholders exercise their redemption rights, including exploring alternative equity or debt investors, or the possible sale of operating assets to generate sufficient liquidity. The Company believes that certain of its assets have sufficient value to meet this possible liquidity need and accordingly does not believe the potential liquidation event raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Note 3.   Business Acquisition

On June 2, 2016, JetPay completed its acquisition of CollectorSolutions, Inc. pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated February 22, 2016 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among JetPay, CSI Acquisition Sub One, LLC, CSI Acquisition Sub Two, LLC, CollectorSolutions, Inc. and Gene M. Valentino, in his capacity as representative of the shareholders of CollectorSolutions, Inc. On October 21, 2016, the surviving entity of the merger changed its name to JetPay Payment Services, FL, LLC. The acquisition of JetPay Payments, FL provided the Company with additional expertise in selling debit and credit card processing services in the government and utilities channels through JetPay Payments, FL’s highly configurable payment gateway; added incremental debit, credit, and e-check processing volumes; and provided a base operation to sell the Company’s payroll, HCM, processing and prepaid card services to JetPay Payments, FL’s customer base. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of JetPay Payments, FL since the acquisition date, June 2, 2016.

As consideration for the acquisition, the Company initially issued 3.25 million shares of its common stock to the stockholders of CollectorSolutions, Inc. and assumed approximately $1.0 million of CollectorSolutions, Inc.’s indebtedness. The 3.25 million shares of common stock issued in connection with closing, valued at $8.3 million at the date of acquisition, included: (i) 587,500 shares placed in escrow at closing as partial security for the indemnification obligations of the stockholders of CollectorSolutions, Inc. (the “Escrowed Shares”) and (ii) 500,000 shares placed in escrow at closing which would be released or cancelled if JetPay Payments, FL achieves certain gross profit performance targets in 2016 and 2017 (the “Earn-Out Shares”). In addition to the shares of its common stock issued at the date of acquisition, the Company issued an additional 54,601 shares on December 30, 2016 to the former stockholders of CollectorSolutions, Inc. in connection with a post-closing purchase price adjustment for working capital and debt levels as of the acquisition date pursuant to the Merger Agreement. JetPay Payments, FL’s former stockholders may also be entitled to receive warrants to purchase up to 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, each with a strike price of $4.00 per share and a 10-year term from its date of issuance, contingent upon JetPay Payments, FL achieving certain gross profit performance targets in 2018 and 2019. This contingent stock and warrant consideration, recorded as a liability, was valued at $1,975,000 at the date of acquisition utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation model. The fair value of the contingent consideration was $1.4 million at March 31, 2018 (recorded within non-current other liabilities). See Note 4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

Based upon the level of gross profit performance of JetPay Payments, FL in 2016, on June 28, 2017, the Company released 250,000 Earn-Out Shares from escrow to the former shareholders of CollectorSolutions, Inc. Based upon the level of gross profit performance in 2017, the Company anticipates releasing an additional 250,000 Earn-Out Shares from escrow related to the 2017 earn-out provisions as per the Merger Agreement. In addition, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on June 28, 2017, the Company released 587,500 Escrowed Shares held for indemnification purposes from escrow to the former shareholders of CollectorSolutions, Inc.

In addition, the Company granted to each former stockholder of CollectorSolutions, Inc. a right to require the Company to repurchase up to 50% of the shares of common stock issued in connection with the acquisition and continuously held by such stockholder for $4.00 per share if Flexpoint exercises its right to redeem all of its shares of Series A Preferred. The Company accounts for its common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”  Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ deficit. The common stock issued to JetPay Payments, FL’s former shareholders features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at March 31, 2018, 50% of the estimated fair value of the common stock issued in connection with the acquisition, or $3.52 million, is presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ deficit section of the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]

Note 4.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Significant accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. The Company’s significant accounting policies are described below.

Use of Estimates, Presentation and Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the SEC. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Company’s financial statements. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, the value of purchase consideration of acquisitions; estimates of allowances and reserves against accounts receivable; reserves for chargebacks; goodwill; intangible assets and other long-lived assets; legal contingencies; the fair value of equity instruments classified as liabilities; and assumptions used in the calculation of stock-based compensation and in the calculation of income taxes. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. These consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our wholly-owned subsidiaries and all intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”), which requires revenue recognized to represent the transfer of promised goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration which is expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services.  ASU 2014-09 also includes Subtopic 340-40, which provides guidance on other assets and deferred costs relating to contracts with customers, specifically costs an entity incurs to obtain and fulfill a contract.  The FASB subsequently issued several amendments to ASU 2014-09, including clarification on accounting for licenses, identifying performance obligations, and principal versus agent considerations (gross versus net presentation), as well as enhanced disclosure requirements about revenue and contract assets and liabilities.  ASU 2014-09 was codified as Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and ASC 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs – Contracts with Customers, (collectively, “ASC Topic 606”). 

The Company adopted the requirements of ASC Topic 606 on January 1, 2018 using the full retrospective method, which required both the current and prior reporting periods to be presented under the same methodology.  Under this method, the March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2017 financial statements and related disclosures, included herein, have been presented on an “As Adjusted” basis under ASC Topic 606, as opposed to what was previously reported under ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition.  The adoption resulted in a decrease to accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2017 of $647,000.  Included in this adjustment was an increase to accumulated deficit as of January 1, 2017 of $374,000 for the cumulative effect of applying ASC Topic 606, offset by a decrease in net loss and net loss applicable to common stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2017 of $1.0 million.  This decrease in net loss for the year ended December 31, 2017 included an increase to net income of $848,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Impact on Previously Reported Results

The provisions of ASC Topic 606 had a material impact on the timing and amount of revenues recognized by the Company.  The most significant impact of adopting ASC Topic 606 is the result of gross versus net presentation of certain fees in the Payment Services Segment. Under ASC Topic 606, the Company reflects revenues net of certain fees that the Company pays to third parties, including interchange, which is earned by the cardholder’s issuing bank, and dues and assessments, which are earned by the credit card associations. The Company previously reported certain of these items as revenues and cost of revenues under previous standards. This change in presentation will have no effect on the reported amount of operating income; however, the Company’s total revenues and cost of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2017 is each lower by $5.2 million.

The most significant impact of adopting ASC Topic 606 in the HR & Payroll Services Segment relates to the timing of revenue recognized within the annual Form W-2, quarterly tax filing and annual tax filing revenue streams. To comply with the new standard, the timing of revenue recognized has changed from when delivery has occurred or services have been rendered to when a customer takes control of the good or service. This change in the timing of revenue recognition resulted in an increase in revenues of $744,000 for the three months ended at March 31, 2017.

Additionally, ASC Topic 606 had an impact on the manner in which we account for certain costs to obtain new contracts (i.e. commissions), which we had previously expensed as incurred in both operating segments. Under ASC Topic 606, incremental direct costs of obtaining a contract, which primarily consist of sales commissions paid to inside sales professionals, are deferred and recognized ratably over the three-year and ten-year estimated terms of our customer relationships in the Payment Services and HR & Payroll Services Segments, respectively. The average terms of our customer relationships will be tested for impairment annually and whenever an indicator of impairment exists. We include deferred commissions within other non-current assets since the average life of the Company’s customer relationships is greater than one year. This change in the timing of commission recognition results in a reduction of commission expenses of $148,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows: Clarification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which eliminates the diversity in practice related to classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows, by adding or clarifying guidance on eight specific cash flow issues. This new guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years and early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2018 and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash, which provides guidance that will require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. As a result, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. This new guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years and early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company adopted this new standard as of January 1, 2018 and has modified the presentation of $1.9 million of restricted cash in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business.    This ASU clarifies the definition of a business when evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. This new guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. The Company adopted of this standard as of January 1, 2018 and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting.  This ASU clarifies an entity’s ability to modify the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award presented. An entity should account for the effects of a modification unless all the following are met: the fair value of the modified award has not changed from the fair value on the date of issuance; the vesting conditions of the modified award are the same as the vesting conditions of the original award immediately before the original award is modified; and, the classification of the modified award as an equity instrument or a liability instrument is the same as the classification of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. This new guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. The Company adopted this new standard as of January 1, 2018 and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-05, Income Taxes (Topic 740). The ASU presents amendments to income taxes and income tax accounting implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ASC 740-10-S99-2A. The guidance in ASU No. 2018-05 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 22, 2017, when the Act was signed into law, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this new standard as of January 1, 2018 and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Standards

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This ASU requires that a lessee recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from operating leases. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. This new guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods, and early adoption is permitted. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. JetPay has not yet determined the effect of the adoption of this standard on JetPay’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350). This ASU simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating the second step of the goodwill impairment test, which required computing the implied fair value of goodwill. Under the amendments in this update, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge should be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. This new guidance will be effective January 1, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of this guidance and assessing its impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features, (Part II) Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception. This ASU clarifies the recognition, measurement, and effect on earnings per share of certain freestanding equity-classified financial instruments that include down round features affect entities that present earnings per share in accordance with the guidance in Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The amendments also clarify existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments. This new guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those periods. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of this guidance and assessing its impact on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

Revenue Recognition and Contract Assets and Liabilities

The Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to its customers in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled for those goods or services. The Company currently operates and manages its business through two reportable segments, the Payment Services Segment and the HR & Payroll Services Segment, which coincide with the types of services the Company provides to its customers. The Company recognizes revenue for distinct performance obligations, wherein, a performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct product or service to the customer and is the unit of account in ASC Topic 606.

Within each customer contract, transaction prices are allocated to each distinct performance obligation based upon relative standalone selling price and then recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligations are satisfied. The majority of the Company’s contracts have multiple performance obligations primarily related to the various types of services the Company provides within its two reportable segments. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation using the best estimate of the standalone selling price for each distinct good or service in the contract.

Payment Services

Revenues from the Company’s credit and debit card processing operations are recognized in the period services are rendered as the Company processes credit and debit card transactions for its merchant customers or for merchant customers of its third party clients. Third party clients, or partners, include Independent Sales Organizations (“ISOs”), Value Added Resellers (“VARs”), Independent Software Vendors (“ISVs”) and financial institutions. The majority of the Company’s revenues within its credit and debit card processing business is comprised of transaction-based fees, which typically constitute a percentage of dollar volume processed, and/or a fee per transaction processed. In the case where the Company is only the processor of transactions, it charges transaction fees only and records these fees as revenues. In the case of contracts pursuant to which the Company processes credit and debit card transactions for merchant customers, revenues are primarily comprised of transaction fees charged to the merchant, as well as a percentage of the processed sale transaction. The Company’s contracts in most instances involve three parties: the Company, the merchant, and the sponsoring bank. With respect to many of the Company’s government and utility clients, as well as the Company’s JetX cash discount product, the cardholder is charged either a convenience fee (government and utilities) or transaction fee (JetX), instead of the merchant being charged for these fees. In all cases, the Company recognizes revenues net of interchange fees and assessments charged by the credit card associations. Interchange fees and credit card association fees are not controlled by the Company. The Company effectively functions as a clearing house collecting and remitting credit card association fees and interchange fee settlement on behalf of issuing banks, debit networks, credit card associations and their processing customers.

The Company’s revenue streams within the Payment Services Segment include Financial Institutions revenues, Government Agency & Utility revenues, and Partners & e-Commerce revenues. Within the Payment Services Segment, the transaction price consists primarily of usage-based variable consideration, as the total consideration to be received is based on the number of transactions and dollar volume that will be processed by the Company for the merchant customer. The Company’s performance obligations in the Payment Services Segment are satisfied over time as customers receive and obtain control of the payment processing service. The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient for measuring progress towards the completion of a performance obligation and recognizes revenue as the Company has the right to invoice each customer, which generally corresponds with the transactions processed on behalf of the merchant customers.

Additionally, the Company’s direct merchant customers and certain third-party partners have the liability for any charges properly reversed by the cardholder. In the event, however, the Company is not able to collect such amount from the merchants due to merchant fraud, insolvency, bankruptcy or any other reason, it may be liable for any such reversed charges. The Company in some instances requires cash deposits, guarantees, letters of credit and other types of collateral from certain merchants to minimize any such contingent liability, and it also utilizes a number of systems and procedures to manage merchant risk.

HR & Payroll Services

Revenues from the Company’s JetPay HR & Payroll Services operations are recognized in the period products or services are delivered under arrangements with clients where fees are fixed or determinable and allocated to specific performance obligations. Certain processing services are provided under annual service arrangements with revenue recognized when the service is delivered to the customer. All revenues are deferred until the allocated performance obligation has been completed and control is transferred to the customer. The Company’s service revenues are largely attributable to payroll-related processing services where the fees are based on a fixed amount per processing period or a fixed amount per processing period plus a fee per employee or transaction processed. The revenues earned from delivery service for the distribution of certain client payroll checks and reports is included in revenues, and the costs for delivery are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Within the HR & Payroll Services Segment, the transaction price consists primarily of fixed consideration which is the price negotiated at contract inception for the services to be provided. The Company’s performance obligations within the HR & Payroll Services Segment are satisfied at a point in time or over time depending upon the delivery of the product or service and how control is transferred to the customer. Payroll processing services are satisfied over time since the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits as the Company performs. The Company utilizes the as-invoiced practical expedient to recognize revenue as the Company is paid a fixed amount based upon payroll processing frequency and the number of active employees paid during that payroll processing period. For all other revenue streams within the HR & Payroll Services Segment, performance obligations are satisfied at a point in in time, which is when the delivery of the service to the customer has occurred.

Interest on funds held for clients is earned primarily on funds that are collected from clients before due dates for payroll tax administration services and for employee payment services, and invested until remittance to the applicable tax or regulatory agencies or client employee. These collections from clients are typically remitted between one (1) and thirty (30) days after receipt, with some items extending to ninety (90) days. The interest earned on these funds is included in total revenues on the Consolidated Statements of Operations because the collecting, holding, and remitting of these funds are critical components of providing these services.

Disaggregation of Revenues

The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers based upon the channel/industry of its customers. The Company determined that disaggregating revenues into these categories achieves the disclosure objective to depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. A reconciliation of disaggregated revenues to segment revenues is provided in Note 13. Segments.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

Deferred Revenue

The Company recognizes contract liabilities in the form of deferred revenue in instances where a customer pays in advance of when they take control of the goods or services to be performed by the Company. The Company receives payments from its customers based on standard terms and conditions.

Changes in deferred revenue were as follows (in thousands):

	March 31,		March 31,
	2018		2017
Balance, beginning of period	$	1,033	$	1,566
Deferral of revenue		707		632
Recognition of deferred revenue		(1,033)		(1,566)
Balance, end of period	$	707	$	632

Deferred Commissions

Our incremental direct costs of obtaining a contract, which primarily consist of sales commissions paid to inside sales professionals, are deferred and recognized ratably over the three-year and ten-year estimated terms of our customer relationships in the Payment Services and HR & Payroll Services Segments, respectively. The average terms of our customer relationships will be tested for impairment annually and whenever an indicator of impairment exists. We include deferred commissions within other non-current assets since the average life of the Company’s customer relationships is greater than one year.

Changes in deferred commissions, presented in other non-current assets, were as follows (in thousands):

Balance, end of period	$	1,311	$	795

Practical Expedients Elected

The Company has elected the following practical expedients in applying ASC Topic 606 across all reportable segments:

As-Invoiced

Within the Payment Services Segment, the Company bills a fixed fee and/or a percent of volume for each transaction processed. Within the HR & Payroll Services Segment, the Company bills a fixed amount based on payroll processing frequency and the number of active employees paid during that payroll processing period. In both segments, as the Company has a right to invoice the customer in the amount that corresponds directly with the value of its performance completed to date, it will utilize the as invoiced practical expedient to recognize revenue.

Directly allocable variable consideration to wholly unsatisfied performance obligations exemption

Within the Payment Services Segment, all consideration in the contract is considered variable, and no amount is treated as fixed consideration. Furthermore, the Company will recognize revenue over time using invoice as practical expedient. As such, it will not need to estimate and disclose the variable consideration in the transaction price allocated to the performance obligation as stipulated under the exemption.

Reserve for Chargeback Losses

Disputes between a cardholder and a merchant periodically arise as a result of, among other things, cardholder dissatisfaction with merchandise quality or merchant services. Such disputes may not be resolved in the merchant’s favor. In these cases, the transaction is “charged back” to the merchant, which means the purchase price is refunded to the customer through the merchant’s bank and charged to the merchant. If the merchant has inadequate funds, the Company must bear the credit risk for the full amount of the transaction. The Company evaluates the risk for such transactions and estimates the potential loss for chargebacks based primarily on historical experience and records a loss reserve accordingly. The Company believes its reserve for chargeback losses is adequate to cover both the known probable losses and the incurred but not yet reported losses at the balance sheet dates. Chargeback reserves totaling $292,000 and $413,000 were recorded as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash, restricted cash, settlement processing assets and liabilities, accounts receivable, funds held for clients, accounts payable and client fund obligations, approximated fair value as of the balance sheet dates presented, because of the relatively short maturity dates on these instruments. The carrying amounts of the financing arrangements approximate fair value as of the balance sheet dates presented, because interest rates on these instruments approximate market interest rates after consideration of stated interest rates, anti-dilution protection and associated warrants.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash, accounts receivable, settlement processing assets and funds held for clients. The Company’s cash is deposited with major financial institutions. At times, such deposits may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurable amount.

Accounts Receivable

The Company’s accounts receivable are due from its merchant credit card and its payroll customers. Credit is extended based on the evaluation of customers’ financial condition and, generally, collateral is not required. Payment terms vary but are typically collected via automated clearing house payments originated by us two (2) to three (3) days following month end. Amounts due from customers are stated in the financial statements net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts which are outstanding longer than the payment terms are considered past due. The Company determines its allowance by considering a number of factors, including the length of time trade accounts receivable are past due, the Company’s previous loss history, the customer’s current ability to pay its obligation to the Company, and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they are deemed uncollectible.

Settlement Processing Assets and Funds and Obligations

Funds settlement refers to the process of transferring funds for sales and credits between card issuers and merchants. Depending on the type of transaction, either the credit card interchange system or the debit network is used to transfer the information and funds between the sponsoring bank and card issuing bank to complete the link between merchants and card issuers. In certain of our processing arrangements, merchant funding primarily occurs after the sponsoring bank receives the funds from the card issuer through the card networks, creating a net settlement obligation on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. In a limited number of other arrangements, the sponsoring bank funds the merchants before it receives the net settlement funds from the card networks, creating a net settlement asset on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. Additionally, certain of the Company’s sponsoring banks collect the gross revenue from the merchants, pay the interchange fees and assessments to the credit card associations, collect their fees for processing and pay the Company a net residual payment representing the Company’s fees for the services. In these instances, the Company does not reflect the related settlement processing assets and obligations in its Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Timing differences in processing credit and debit card and automated clearing house transactions, as described above, interchange expense collection, merchant reserves, sponsoring bank reserves, and exception items result in settlement processing assets and obligations. Settlement processing assets consist primarily of our portion of settlement assets due from customers and receivable from merchants for the portion of the discount fee related to reimbursement of the interchange expense, our receivable from the processing bank for transactions we have funded merchants in advance of receipt of card association funding, merchant reserves held, sponsoring bank reserves and exception items, such as customer chargeback amounts receivable from merchants. Settlement processing obligations consist primarily of merchant reserves, our liability to the processing bank for transactions for which we have received funding from the members but have not funded merchants and exception items.

Settlement assets, funds and obligations resulting from JetPay Payments, FL’s processing services and associated settlement activities include settlement receivables due from credit card associations and debit networks and certain cash accounts to which JetPay Payments, FL does not have legal ownership but has the right to use the accounts to satisfy the related settlement obligations. JetPay Payments, FL’s corresponding settlement obligations are for amounts payable to customers, net of processing fees earned by JetPay Payments, FL. Settlement receivables and payables for credit and debit card transactions are recorded at the gross transaction amounts. The gross amounts are then processed through JetPay Payments, FL’s settlement accounts, and JetPay Payments, FL retains its fees for the transactions upon settlement. Settlement receivables for e-check transactions consist of only JetPay Payments, FL’s fees for the transactions. Settlement receivables are generally collected within four (4) business days. Settlement obligations are generally paid within three (3) business days, regardless of when the related settlement receivables are collected.

Property and Equipment and Depreciation

Property and equipment acquired in the Company’s business acquisitions have been recorded at estimated fair value. The Company records all other property and equipment acquired in the normal course of business at cost. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are generally as follows: leasehold improvements – shorter of economic life or remaining term of the related lease; machinery and equipment – five (5) to fifteen (15) years; and furniture and fixtures – five (5) to ten (10) years. Significant additions or improvements extending assets’ useful lives are capitalized; normal maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the premium paid over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in the Company’s business combinations. The Company performs a goodwill impairment test on at least an annual basis. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires significant judgments, including estimation of future cash flows, which are dependent on internal forecasts, estimation of the long-term rate of growth for the businesses, the useful life over which cash flows will occur and determination of the Company’s weighted average cost of capital. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and/or conclusions on goodwill impairment for each reporting unit. The Company conducts its annual goodwill impairment test as of December 31 of each year or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. The Company periodically analyzes whether any such indicators of impairment exist. A significant amount of judgment is involved in determining if an indicator of impairment has occurred. Such indicators may include a sustained significant decline in our stock price and market capitalization, a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate, unanticipated competition and/or slower expected growth rates, adverse actions or assessments by a regulator, among others. The Company compares the fair value of its reporting unit to its respective carrying value, including related goodwill. Future changes in the industry could impact the results of future annual impairment tests. The Company’s annual quantitative goodwill impairment testing indicated there was no impairment as of December 31, 2017. Additionally, no indicators of impairment occurred in the three months ended March 31, 2018. There can be no assurance that future tests of goodwill impairment will not result in impairment charges.

Identifiable Intangible Assets

Identifiable intangible assets consist primarily of customer relationships, software costs, and tradenames. Certain tradenames are considered to have indefinite lives, and as such, are not subject to amortization. These assets are tested for impairment using undiscounted cash flow methodology annually and whenever there is an impairment indicator. Estimating future cash flows requires significant judgment and projections may vary from cash flows eventually realized. Several impairment indicators are beyond the Company’s control, and determining whether or not they will occur cannot be predicted with any certainty. Identifiable intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their respective assigned estimated lives; customer relationships use eight (8) to fifteen (15) years; tradenames use one (1) to three (3) years; and software costs use one (1) to eight (8) years.

   

Impairment of Long–Lived Assets

The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets held and used at least annually or when events and circumstances warrant such a review. If significant events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable, the Company performs a test of recoverability by comparing the carrying value of the asset or asset group to its undiscounted expected future cash flows. Cash flow projections are sometimes based on a group of assets, rather than a single asset. If cash flows cannot be separately and independently identified for a single asset, the Company determines whether impairment has occurred for the group of assets for which it can identify the projected cash flows. If the carrying values are in excess of undiscounted expected future cash flows, it measures any impairment by comparing the fair value of the asset group to its carrying value. If the fair value of an asset or asset group is determined to be less than the carrying amount of the asset or asset group, impairment in the amount of the difference is recorded. The Company’s annual qualitative impairment testing indicated there was no impairment as of December 31, 2017. Additionally, no indicators of impairment occurred in the three months ended March 31, 2018. There can be no assurance that future tests of impairment will not result in impairment charges.

Convertible Preferred Stock

The Company accounts for the redemption premium, beneficial conversion feature and issuance costs on or of its convertible preferred stock using the effective interest method, accreting such amounts to its convertible preferred stock from the date of issuance to the earliest date of redemption.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company expenses employee share-based payments under ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, which requires compensation cost for the grant-date fair value of share-based payments to be recognized over the requisite service period. The Company estimates the grant date fair value of the share-based awards issued in the form of options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The dilutive effect of the right of our preferred stockholders to convert outstanding shares of Series A Preferred and Series A-1 Preferred into 16,949,152 and 1,102,041 shares of common stock, respectively, at March 31, 2018; the effect of 1,804,574 exercisable stock options granted under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2013 Stock Incentive Plan”) at March 31, 2018; and the effect of 266,667 exercisable warrants issued in connection with the Company’s purchase of treasury shares in February 2017 have been excluded from the loss per share calculation for the three months ended March 31, 2018 in that the assumed conversion of these options would be anti-dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2017, the dilutive effect of the right of our preferred stockholders to convert outstanding shares of Series A Preferred and Series A-1 Preferred into 16,949,152 and 754,898 shares of common stock, respectively; the effect of 1,227,909 exercisable stock options granted under the Company’s 2013 Stock Incentive Plan at March 31, 2017; and the effect of 266,667 exercisable warrants issued in connection with the Company’s purchase of treasury shares in February 2017 have been excluded from the loss per share calculation in that the assumed conversion of these options would be anti-dilutive.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risks. The Company does review the terms of debt instruments it enters into to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments, including embedded conversion options, which are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as derivative financial instruments. In circumstances where the host instrument contains more than one embedded derivative instrument, including the conversion option, that is required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single compound derivative instrument.

Bifurcated embedded derivatives are initially recorded at fair value and are then revalued at each reporting date with changes in the fair value reported as non-operating income or expense. When the equity or convertible debt instruments contain embedded derivative instruments that are to be bifurcated and accounted for as liabilities, the total proceeds received are first allocated to the fair value of all the bifurcated derivative instruments. The remaining proceeds, if any, are then allocated to the host instruments themselves, usually resulting in those instruments being recorded at a discount from their face value. The discount from the face value of the convertible debt, together with the stated interest on the instrument, is amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges recorded within other expenses (income), using the effective interest method.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company accounts for fair value measurements in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC Topic 820”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC Topic 820 are described below:

Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2 Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

Level 3 Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required by ASC Topic 820, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

	Fair Value at March 31, 2018
	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
			(in thousands)
Contingent consideration	$	2,227	$	-	$	-	$	2,227

	Fair Value at December 31, 2017
	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
			(in thousands)
Contingent consideration	$	2,264	$	-	$	-	$	2,264

The following table sets forth a summary of the change in fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
	2018		2017
Beginning balance	$	2,264	$	2,982
Change in fair value of JetPay Payments, TX contingent consideration		-		(35)
Change in fair value of JetPay Payments, FL contingent consideration		(37)		109
Payment of JetPay Payments, PA contingent consideration		-		(314)
Totals	$	2,227	$	2,742

Level 3 liabilities are valued using unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the financial instrument. For fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s accounting and finance department, which reports to the Chief Financial Officer, determines its valuation policies and procedures. The development and determination of the unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements and fair value calculations are the responsibility of the Company’s accounting and finance department with support from the Company’s outside consultants which are approved by the Chief Financial Officer. Level 3 financial liabilities for the relevant periods consist of contingent consideration related to the JetPay Payments, TX, JetPay Payments, PA and JetPay Payments, FL acquisitions for which there are no current markets such that the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. Changes in fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy will be analyzed each period based on changes in estimates or assumptions and recorded as appropriate.

In addition to the consideration paid upon closing of the JetPay Payments, TX acquisition, WLES, L.P. (“WLES”), through December 28, 2017, was entitled to receive 833,333 shares of common stock if the trading price of the common stock is at least $8.00 per share for any 20 trading days out of a 30 trading day period and $5.0 million in cash if the trading price of the common stock is at least $9.50 per share for any 20 trading days out of a 30 trading day period. This contingent consideration was valued at $1.54 million at the date of acquisition based on utilization of option pricing models and was recorded as a non-current other liability for $700,000 and as additional paid-in capital for $840,000 at December 31, 2012. The stock-based component value of $840,000 recorded at December 28, 2012 (the JetPay Payments, TX acquisition date) remains unchanged at March 31, 2018 as a result of this component being recorded as equity. The fair value at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 of the cash-based contingent consideration was $0 as a result of the contingent consideration requirements not being met by December 28, 2017.

 

The fair value of the common stock was derived from the per share price of the common stock at the valuation date. Management determined that the results of its valuation were reasonable. The expected life represents the remaining contractual term of the derivative. The volatility rate was developed based on analysis of the historical volatility rates of similarly situated companies (using a number of observations that was at least equal to or exceeded the number of observations in the life of the derivative financial instrument at issue). The risk free interest rates were obtained from publicly available U.S. Treasury yield curve rates. The dividend yield is zero because the Company has not paid dividends and does not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

In addition to the consideration paid upon closing of the JetPay Payments, PA acquisition, the previous unitholders were entitled to receive up to an additional $500,000 if certain net revenue goals were achieved through October 31, 2016. This contingent consideration was valued at $400,000 at the date of acquisition, with the final $314,000 earned and paid on January 17, 2017.

 

In addition to the consideration paid upon closing of the JetPay Payments, FL acquisition, the former shareholders of JetPay Payments, FL were entitled to have released from escrow previously issued shares up to an additional 500,000 shares of common stock upon JetPay Payments, FL achieving certain gross profit performance targets in 2016 and 2017. The former shareholders are also able to receive up to 500,000 warrants to purchase shares of common stock, each with a strike price of $4.00 per share and a 10-year term from its date of issuance, upon JetPay Payments, FL achieving certain gross profit performance targets in 2018 and 2019. See Note 3. Business Acquisition. This contingent consideration was valued at $1,975,000 at the date of acquisition, $1.4 million at December 31, 2017 (recorded within non-current other liabilities), and $1.4 million at March 31, 2018 (recorded within non-current other liabilities), based on utilization of a Monte Carlo simulation to estimate the variance and relative risk of achieving future gross profit performance targets. Contingent consideration liability of $525,000 was reclassified to additional paid-in capital in June 2017 with 250,000 shares of common stock issued at the closing of the acquisition released from escrow as a result of the 2016 gross profit performance targets being achieved. The key assumptions in applying the Monte Carlo simulation included expected gross profit growth rates, the expected standard deviation and serial correlation of expected net revenue growth rates as well as a normal distribution assumption.

 

The Company uses either a binomial option-pricing model with a Monte Carlo simulation or the Black-Scholes option valuation model to value Level 3 financial liabilities at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. These models incorporate transaction details such as the Company’s stock price, contractual terms, maturity, risk free rates, as well as volatility. A significant decrease in the volatility or a significant decrease in the Company’s stock price, in isolation, would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement.

As of March 31, 2018, there were no transfers in or out of Level 3 from other levels in the fair value hierarchy.

In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 815,  Derivatives and Hedging Activities, the Company presented its derivative liability at fair value on its Consolidated Balance Sheets, with the corresponding change in fair value recorded in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations for the applicable reporting periods.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740,  Income Taxes (“ASC Topic 740”). ASC Topic 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carryovers. Deferred income tax expense (benefit) represents the change during the period in the deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities. In establishing the provision for income taxes and determining deferred income tax assets and liabilities, the Company makes judgments and interpretations based on enacted laws, published tax guidance and estimates of future earnings. ASC Topic 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or the entire deferred income tax asset will not be realized.

ASC Topic 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. ASC Topic 740 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company is required to file income tax returns in the United States (federal) and in various state and local jurisdictions. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements. The Company believes that its income tax positions and deductions would be sustained upon examination and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in material changes to its financial position.

The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits is to record such interest and penalties as interest expense and as a component of selling, general and administrative expense, respectively. There were no amounts accrued for penalties or interest as of or during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. Management does not expect any significant changes in its unrecognized tax benefits in the next year. 

Subsequent Events

Management evaluates events that have occurred after the balance sheet date and through the date the financial statements are issued. Based upon the review, management did not identify any recognized or non-recognized subsequent events which would have required an adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements, except as described in Note 14. Subsequent Events.

Convertible Preferred Stock [Abstract]

Convertible Preferred Stock [Text Block]

Note 8.    Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

Under a Securities Purchase Agreement entered into on August 22, 2013 (as amended, the “Series A Purchase Agreement”), the Company agreed to sell to Flexpoint, and Flexpoint agreed to purchase from the Company, upon satisfaction of certain conditions, up to 133,333 shares of Series A Preferred a purchase price of $300 per share for an aggregate purchase price of up to $40.0 million in three tranches. 

On October 11, 2013, the Company issued 33,333 shares of Series A Preferred to Flexpoint for an aggregate of $10.0 million less certain agreed-upon reimbursable expenses of Flexpoint pursuant to the Series A Purchase Agreement. Additionally, the Company issued 4,667 shares of Series A Preferred to Flexpoint on April 14, 2014 for an aggregate of $1.4 million; 20,000 shares on November 7, 2014 for $6.0 million; 33,333 shares on December 28, 2014 for $10.0 million; and 8,333 shares on August 9, 2016 for $2.5 million.

On October 18, 2016, the Company amended and restated the Series A Purchase Agreement in part to facilitate the Company’s issuance and sale to Sundara of the 33,667 shares of Series A Preferred that had not yet been purchased by Flexpoint. Sundara purchased the remaining 33,667 shares of Series A Preferred in a single transaction for a purchase price of $10,100,100 ($300 per share) on October 18, 2016.

The shares of Series A Preferred are convertible into shares of common stock.  Any holder of Series A Preferred may at any time convert such holder’s shares of Series A Preferred into that number of shares of common stock equal to the number of shares of Series A Preferred being converted multiplied by $300 and divided by the then-applicable conversion price, which was initially $3.00. Under the Series A Purchase Agreement, Flexpoint and Sundara Investment Partners, LLC are provided with certain indemnification rights in the event of the incurrence of certain losses and expenses by the Company. On March 23, 2017, the conversion price of Series A Preferred was $2.36. Pursuant to an agreement by and among the Company, Flexpoint and Sundara, the Series A Preferred conversion price may be adjusted upward with the successful recovery of funds by the Company in the Company’s lawsuit against Valley National Bank. The conversion price of the Series A Preferred continues to be subject to downward adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events.

Share of Series A Preferred have a liquidation value of $600 per share (subject to adjustment for any stock split, stock dividend or other similar proportionate reduction or increase of the authorized number of shares of common stock) and will rank senior to the common stock with respect to distributions of assets upon the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up. Holders of Series A Preferred have the right to request redemption of any shares of Series A Preferred issued at least five (5) years prior to the date of such request by delivering written notice to the Company at the then applicable liquidation value per share, unless holders of a majority of the outstanding Series A Preferred elect to waive such redemption request on behalf of all holders of Series A Preferred, subject to certain exceptions.

In addition to the foregoing, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Series A-1 Purchase Agreement”) with Wellington dated May 1, 2014, the Company agreed to sell to Wellington, upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, up to 9,000 shares of Series A-1 Preferred at a purchase price of $300 per share for an aggregate purchase price of up to $2.7 million. On May 5, 2014, the Company issued 2,565 shares of Series A-1 Preferred to Wellington for an aggregate of $769,500, less certain agreed-upon reimbursable expenses of Wellington. Additionally, the Company issued to Wellington 1,350 shares of Series A-1 Preferred on November 20, 2014 for $405,000; 2,250 shares of Series A-1 Preferred on December 31, 2014 for $675,000; and 2,835 shares of Series A-1 Preferred on April 13, 2017 for $850,500. The proceeds of the total investment of $2.7 million by Wellington have been used for general corporate purposes.

Shares of Series A-1 Preferred are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock or, in certain circumstances, Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A-2 Preferred”).  Shares of Series A-1 Preferred may be converted into that number of shares of common stock equal to the number of shares of Series A-1 Preferred being converted multiplied by $300 and divided by the then-applicable conversion price, which initially was $3.00 and subject to adjustment pursuant to the Series A-1 Purchase Agreement. As of March 31, 2018, the conversion price of Series A-1 Preferred was $2.45. Pursuant to an agreement by and among Wellington, the Series A-1 Preferred conversion price may be adjusted upward with the successful recovery of funds in the Company’s lawsuit against Valley National Bank. The conversion price of the Series A-1 Preferred is subject to further downward adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events as defined in the Series A-1 Purchase Agreement.

Shares of Series A-1 Preferred have an initial liquidation value of $600 per share (subject to adjustment for any stock split, stock dividend or other similar proportionate reduction or increase of the authorized number of shares of common stock) and rank senior to the Company’s common stock and pari passu with the Series A Preferred with respect to distributions of assets upon the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no holder of the Series A-1 Preferred can convert if, as a result of such conversion, such holder would beneficially own 9.9% or more of the Company’s common stock. If at any time, no shares of Series A Preferred remain outstanding and shares of Series A-1 Preferred remain outstanding because of the limitation in the preceding sentence, all shares of Series A-1 Preferred shall automatically convert into shares of Series A-2 Preferred at a 1:1 ratio. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Noncompliance, as defined in the Series A-1 Purchase Agreement, the holders of a majority of the Series A-1 Preferred may demand immediate redemption of all or a portion of the Series A-1 Preferred at the then-applicable liquidation value.

The Company considered the guidance of ASC Topic 480,  Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and ASC Topic 815, Derivatives, in determining the accounting treatment for its convertible preferred stock instruments. The Company considered the economic characteristics and the risks of the host contract based on the stated and implied substantive terms and features of the instruments; including, but not limited to, its redemption features, voting rights, and conversions rights; and determined that the terms of the preferred stock were more akin to an equity instrument than a debt instrument. Subject to certain exceptions applicable to Sundara, the shares of Series A Preferred and Series A-1 Preferred are subject to redemption, at the option of the holder, on or after the fifth anniversary of their original purchase. Accordingly, the convertible preferred stock has been classified as temporary equity in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Upon issuance of the 33,333 shares of the Series A Preferred, the Company recorded as a reduction to the Series A Preferred and as Additional Paid-In Capital a beneficial conversion feature of $1.5 million. The beneficial conversion feature represents the difference between the effective conversion price and the fair value of the Series A Preferred as of the commitment date. An additional beneficial conversion feature of $396,600 was recorded in August 2015 as a result of the change in conversion price per share of Series A Preferred from $3.00 to $2.90. Similarly, additional beneficial conversion features of $2.7 million and $2.2 million were recorded in March 2017 with respect to the shares of Series A Preferred issued and sold to Flexpoint in 2013 and the shares of Series A Preferred issued and sold to Sundara in 2016 as a result of the further change in conversion price per share of Series A Preferred from $2.90 to $2.36. There was no beneficial conversion feature related to the 2014, 2015 or the 2016 issuances and sales of shares of Series A Preferred to Flexpoint and shares of Series A-1 Preferred to Wellington as a result of the price of the Company’s common stock at the dates of the closings being below the effective adjusted conversion price of the preferred stock. The Company accounts for the beneficial conversion feature, the liquidation preference, and the issuance costs related to the Series A Preferred and Series A-1 Preferred using the effective interest method by accreting such amounts to its Series A Preferred and Series A-1 Preferred from the date of issuance to the earliest date of redemption as a reduction to its total permanent equity within the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ Deficit as a charge to Additional Paid-In Capital. Any accretion recorded during the periods presented are also shown as a reduction to the income available to common stockholders in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations when presenting basic and dilutive per share information. Accretion was $2.9 million and $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Noncompliance, the holders of a majority of the Series A Preferred may demand immediate redemption of all or a portion of the shares of Series A Preferred at the then-applicable liquidation value.  Such holders may also exercise a right to have the holders of the Series A Preferred elect a majority of the Board by increasing the size of the Board and filling such vacancies.  Such right to control a minimum majority of the Board would exist for so long as the Event of Noncompliance continues. An “Event of Noncompliance” shall have occurred if: (i) the Company fails to make any required redemption payment with respect to the Series A Preferred; (ii) the Company breaches the Series A Purchase Agreement and such breach has not been cured within thirty days after receipt of notice thereof; (iii) the Company or any subsidiary makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, admits its insolvency or is the subject of an order, judgment or decree adjudicating such entity as insolvent, among other similar actions; (iv) a final judgment in excess of $5.0 million is rendered against the Company or any subsidiary that is not discharged within 60 days thereafter; or (v) an event of default has occurred under a former JetPay HR & Payroll Services credit facility, and such event of default has not been cured within thirty days after receipt of notice thereof.

Note 9.    Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit)

Common Stock

On August 3, 2017, the Company issued 44,240 shares of the Company’s common stock with a fair market value of approximately $97,000, as bonus compensation to the Chief Executive Officer pursuant to the Company’s 2013 Stock Incentive Plan.

 

On February 28, 2018, the Company cancelled 291,946 shares of common stock that were being held in an escrow account at the Company’s transfer agent that were previously issued to certain initial shareholders of the Company. The shares were cancelled pursuant to the Stock Escrow Agreement dated May 13, 2011 among the Company, its transfer agent, and certain initial shareholders in that certain warrants related to the initial formation of the Company were not exercised by December 28, 2017.

Treasury Stock

On February 15, 2017, the Company repurchased 2.2 million shares of its common stock owned by WLES, which WLES had agreed to sell in connection with the now-settled Direct Air litigation matter as part of a settlement agreement between the Company, Trent Voigt and WLES dated July 26, 2016 (the “WLES Settlement Agreement”). JetPay had previously repaid the $5MM Merrick Note due to Merrick Bank in January 2017, for which WLES had agreed to indemnify JetPay as part of the WLES Settlement Agreement by agreeing to sell the 2.2 million shares to satisfy JetPay’s obligations in relation to the $5MM Merrick Note. Effective February 15, 2017, the 2.2 million shares of JetPay common stock were placed in treasury at a cost of $4.95 million and are available for issuance.

 

Preferred Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.001 per share with such designations, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s Board of Directors.

 

As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding other than the Series A Preferred issued to Flexpoint and Sundara and the Series A-1 Preferred issued to Wellington described above.

Stock-Based Compensation

ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, requires compensation expense for the grant-date fair value of share-based payments to be recognized over the requisite service period.

On July 5, 2017, the Board approved, subject to stockholder approval, the First Amendment to the 2013 Stock Incentive Plan, to issue up to an additional 1,000,000 shares of its common stock as awards for a total of 4,000,000 shares of common stock available under the Plan. The First Amendment was subsequently approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Company’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on August 15, 2017. The Company had available 1,215,762 shares of common stock for the grant of awards under the 2013 Stock Incentive Plan as of March 31, 2018.

 

The Company granted 75,000 shares of common stock under the 2013 Stock Incentive Plan during the three months ended March 31, 2017, at an exercise price of $3.00 per share. There were no options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2018. The grant date fair value of the options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2017 were determined to be approximately $89,000 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Aggregated stock-based compensation expense was $185,000 and $171,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Unrecognized compensation expense as of March 31, 2018 relating to non-vested common stock options was approximately $928,000 and is expected to be recognized through 2021. During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, no options were exercised or forfeited.

 

The fair values of the Company’s options were estimated at the dates of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
	2018		2017
Expected term (years)		-		6.25
Risk-free interest rate		-		2.10%
Volatility		-		62.3%
Dividend yield		-		0%

Expected term: The Company’s expected term is based on the period the options are expected to remain outstanding. The Company estimated this amount utilizing the “Simplified Method” in that the Company does not have sufficient historical experience to provide a reasonable basis to estimate an expected term.

Risk-free interest rate: The Company uses the risk-free interest rate of a U.S. Treasury Note with a similar term on the date of the grant.

Volatility: The Company calculates the volatility of the stock price based on historical value and corresponding volatility using a weighted average of both the Company’s stock price and the stock prices of comparable companies for a period consistent with the stock option expected term.

Dividend yield: The Company uses a 0% expected dividend yield as the Company has not paid dividends to date and does not anticipate declaring dividends in the near future.

 

A summary of stock option activity for the three months ended March 31, 2018 is presented below:

	Number of Options		Weighted  Average  Exercise Price
Outstanding at December 31, 2017		2,739,998	$	2.91
Granted		-		-
Forfeited		-		-
Exercised		-		-
Outstanding at March 31, 2018		2,739,998	$	2.91
Exercisable at March 31, 2018		1,804,574	$	2.89

The weighted average remaining life of options outstanding at March 31, 2018 was 7.47 years. The aggregate intrinsic value of the exercisable options at March 31, 2018 was $0.

 

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

On June 29, 2015, the Board of Directors adopted the JetPay Corporation Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Purchase Plan"), which was subsequently approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Company’s 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The Purchase Plan allows employees to contribute a percentage of their cash earnings, subject to certain maximum amounts, to be used to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock on each of two (2) semi-annual purchase dates. The purchase price is equal to 90% of the market value per share on either: (a) the date of grant of a purchase right under the Purchase Plan; or (b) the date on which such purchase right is deemed exercised, whichever is lower.

 

As of March 31, 2018, an aggregate of 158,150 shares of common stock remained reserved for issuance under the Purchase Plan, with 51,480 shares of common stock issued on January 5, 2017, 40,310 shares of common stock issued on July 12, 2017 and 27,184 shares of common stock issued on January 23, 2018.

Income Taxes

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block]

Note 10.    Income Taxes

The Company recorded income tax expense of $364,000 and $62,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Income tax expense reflects the recording of federal and state income taxes. The effective tax rate was approximately 8.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and greater than 100% for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The effective rate differs from the federal statutory rate for each period, primarily due to state and local income taxes, changes to the valuation allowance, and the recording of a deferred tax liability related to the uncertainty of the realization of the benefit for financial reporting purposes of the amortization of certain Intangibles for tax purposes as more fully described below.

JetPay Payments, TX is subject to and pays the Texas Margin Tax which is considered to be an income tax in accordance with the provisions of the Income Taxes Topic in FASB, ASC and the associated interpretations. There are no significant temporary differences associated with the Texas Margin Tax.

As of December 31, 2017, the Company had U.S. federal net operating loss carryovers (“NOLs”) of approximately $30.0 million and state NOLs of approximately $9.2 million available to offset future taxable income. These NOLs, if not utilized, expire at various times through 2036. In accordance with Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, deductibility of the Company’s NOLs may be subject to an annual limitation in the event of a change in control. The Company has not conducted a Code Section 382 NOL study in 2017 or 2018.

In December 2017, the federal government enacted numerous amendments to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 pursuant to an act known by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act will impact the Company’s income tax (benefit) from continuing operations in future periods. The Tax Act resulted in the following impacts to the Company: (i) the federal statutory income tax rate was reduced from 34% to 21% for 2018 and tax years following; and (ii) a one-time net expense of $3.4 million was recorded in the three months ended December 31, 2017 as a result of re-measuring our deferred tax balances at the new statutory rate. Upon completion of the Company’s 2017 U.S. income tax return in 2018, additional re-measurement adjustments may be identified to the recorded deferred tax liabilities and the one-time transition tax. Management will continue to assess the provision for income taxes as future guidance is issued, but do not currently anticipate significant revisions will be necessary. Any such revisions will be treated in accordance with the measurement period guidance outlined in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118.

In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. After consideration of all of the information available, management believes that a total valuation allowance of approximately $6.8 million at March 31, 2018 is appropriate, representing the amount of its deferred income tax assets in excess of certain of the Company’s deferred income tax liabilities. The deferred tax liability related to goodwill that is amortizable for tax purposes (“Intangibles”) will not reverse until such time, if any, that the goodwill, which is considered to be an asset with an indefinite life for financial reporting purposes, becomes impaired or sold. Due to the uncertain timing of this reversal, the temporary difference cannot be considered as future taxable income for purposes of determining a valuation allowance. Therefore, the deferred tax liability related to tax deductible Intangibles cannot be considered when determining the ultimate realization of deferred tax assets.

Note 11.   Commitments and Contingencies

At the time of the acquisition of JetPay, LLC, the Company entered into an Amendment, Guarantee, and Waiver Agreement, dated December 28, 2012, between the Company, Ten Lords, Ltd. (“Ten Lords”) and JetPay, LLC (n/k/a JetPay Payment Services, TX, LLC). Under the agreement, Ten Lords agreed to extend payment of a $6.0 million note remaining outstanding at the date of acquisition for up to twelve months. The terms of the agreement required that the Company provide the owners of Ten Lords and Providence Interactive Capital, LLC (together with Ten Lords, the “Plaintiffs”) with a “true up” payment meant to put them in the same after-tax economic position as they would have been had the note been paid in full on December 28, 2012. The Company calculated this true-up payment to be $222,310 and paid such amount in August 2015. In addition to the $222,310 paid in 2015, the Company recorded an additional loss accrual of $125,500 relating to this matter. Subsequent to the Company’s payment, the Company received notice on October 5, 2015 that Plaintiffs filed a lawsuit against JetPay, LLC and the Company disputing the true up payment. Since 2015, the Company and JetPay, LLC have been defendants in the lawsuit in the 429th Judicial District Court of Collin County, Texas (the “Court”) styled Ten Lords, Ltd. and Providence Interactive Capital, LLC, Cause No. 429-04140-2015. The lawsuit was tried in the Court on May 2, 2017 and the Court granted a judgment to Plaintiffs in the amount of $793,000 plus attorneys’ fees of $134,075, which judgment was entered by the Court on May 15, 2017. On July 3, 2017, the Company and JetPay, LLC successfully settled the lawsuit by entering into a Compromise Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release (the “Settlement Agreement”). Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company paid to Plaintiffs the sum of $872,500 on July 3, 2017 and the parties released one another and their respective affiliates from all claims arising out of the matters described in the Lawsuit and the Judgment. In connection with this settlement, the Company recorded an additional loss of $747,000 during the year ended December 31, 2017.

In December 2015, Harmony Press Inc. (“Harmony”), a customer of ADC and Payroll Tax Filing Services, a wholly-owned subsidiary of JetPay HR & Payroll Service, Inc. (“PTFS”), filed a suit against an employee of Harmony for theft by that employee of over $628,000. JetPay, ADC, and PTFS as well as several financial institution service providers to Harmony were also named in that suit for alleged negligence. The Company believes that the allegations in the suit regarding JetPay, ADC, and PTFS are groundless and has turned the matter over to the Company’s insurance carrier who is defending the suit. The Company is subject to a $50,000 deductible under its insurance policy. The Company has not recorded an accrual for any potential loss related to this matter as of March 31, 2018 and has incurred legal expense of $50,000 applied against its deductible, through March 31, 2018.

On June 12, 2017, JetPay Payment Services, TX LLC (“JetPay Payments, TX”) filed suit against J.T. Holdings, LTD (“J.T. Holdings”) and Trent Voigt with respect to a lease entered into by JetPay Payments, TX with J.T. Holdings’ property in Sunnyvale, TX. JetPay Payments, TX retains a computer backup center in the Sunnyvale, Texas location owned by J.T. Holdings, an entity controlled by Trent Voigt, the previous Chief Executive Officer of JetPay Payments, TX. The previous lease expired on January 31, 2016. While a new lease Agreement had not been signed, a dispute arose regarding the amount of rent to be paid, as well as the rights of the parties to access the property. Prior to filing the suit against J.T. Holdings, the Company’s access to the property was restored through a writ of reentry obtained from the Justice Court on June 8, 2017. On June 26, 2017, the Parties entered into an agreement whereby JetPay Payments, TX was granted an extension on the lease until June 30, 2018 at a rate of $6,000 per month and agreed to place into an escrow account $230,000 until all claims between the parties were adjudicated. On December 12, 2017, Trent Voigt and J.T. Holdings filed counterclaims against JetPay. The Company settled the matter with J.T. Holdings and Trent Voigt for $450,000, together with a release of all claims, on May 7, 2018. A loss accrual of $450,000 was recorded at March 31, 2018 within accounts payable and accrued expenses.

The Company is a party to various other legal proceedings related to its ordinary business activities. In the opinion of the Company’s management, none of these proceedings are material in relation to our results of operations, liquidity, cash flows, or financial condition.

At March 31, 2018, a letter of credit was outstanding for $100,000 as collateral with respect to a front-end processing relationship with a credit card company.

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”), which requires revenue recognized to represent the transfer of promised goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration which is expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services.  ASU 2014-09 also includes Subtopic 340-40, which provides guidance on other assets and deferred costs relating to contracts with customers, specifically costs an entity incurs to obtain and fulfill a contract.  The FASB subsequently issued several amendments to ASU 2014-09, including clarification on accounting for licenses, identifying performance obligations, and principal versus agent considerations (gross versus net presentation), as well as enhanced disclosure requirements about revenue and contract assets and liabilities.  ASU 2014-09 was codified as Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and ASC 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs – Contracts with Customers, (collectively, “ASC Topic 606”). 

The Company adopted the requirements of ASC Topic 606 on January 1, 2018 using the full retrospective method, which required both the current and prior reporting periods to be presented under the same methodology.  Under this method, the March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2017 financial statements and related disclosures, included herein, have been presented on an “As Adjusted” basis under ASC Topic 606, as opposed to what was previously reported under ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition.  The adoption resulted in a decrease to accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2017 of $647,000.  Included in this adjustment was an increase to accumulated deficit as of January 1, 2017 of $374,000 for the cumulative effect of applying ASC Topic 606, offset by a decrease in net loss and net loss applicable to common stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2017 of $1.0 million.  This decrease in net loss for the year ended December 31, 2017 included an increase to net income of $848,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Impact on Previously Reported Results

The provisions of ASC Topic 606 had a material impact on the timing and amount of revenues recognized by the Company.  The most significant impact of adopting ASC Topic 606 is the result of gross versus net presentation of certain fees in the Payment Services Segment. Under ASC Topic 606, the Company reflects revenues net of certain fees that the Company pays to third parties, including interchange, which is earned by the cardholder’s issuing bank, and dues and assessments, which are earned by the credit card associations. The Company previously reported certain of these items as revenues and cost of revenues under previous standards. This change in presentation will have no effect on the reported amount of operating income; however, the Company’s total revenues and cost of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2017 is each lower by $5.2 million.

The most significant impact of adopting ASC Topic 606 in the HR & Payroll Services Segment relates to the timing of revenue recognized within the annual Form W-2, quarterly tax filing and annual tax filing revenue streams. To comply with the new standard, the timing of revenue recognized has changed from when delivery has occurred or services have been rendered to when a customer takes control of the good or service. This change in the timing of revenue recognition resulted in an increase in revenues of $744,000 for the three months ended at March 31, 2017.

Additionally, ASC Topic 606 had an impact on the manner in which we account for certain costs to obtain new contracts (i.e. commissions), which we had previously expensed as incurred in both operating segments. Under ASC Topic 606, incremental direct costs of obtaining a contract, which primarily consist of sales commissions paid to inside sales professionals, are deferred and recognized ratably over the three-year and ten-year estimated terms of our customer relationships in the Payment Services and HR & Payroll Services Segments, respectively. The average terms of our customer relationships will be tested for impairment annually and whenever an indicator of impairment exists. We include deferred commissions within other non-current assets since the average life of the Company’s customer relationships is greater than one year. This change in the timing of commission recognition results in a reduction of commission expenses of $148,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows: Clarification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which eliminates the diversity in practice related to classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows, by adding or clarifying guidance on eight specific cash flow issues. This new guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years and early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2018 and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash, which provides guidance that will require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. As a result, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. This new guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years and early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company adopted this new standard as of January 1, 2018 and has modified the presentation of $1.9 million of restricted cash in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business.    This ASU clarifies the definition of a business when evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. This new guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. The Company adopted of this standard as of January 1, 2018 and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting.  This ASU clarifies an entity’s ability to modify the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award presented. An entity should account for the effects of a modification unless all the following are met: the fair value of the modified award has not changed from the fair value on the date of issuance; the vesting conditions of the modified award are the same as the vesting conditions of the original award immediately before the original award is modified; and, the classification of the modified award as an equity instrument or a liability instrument is the same as the classification of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. This new guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. The Company adopted this new standard as of January 1, 2018 and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-05, Income Taxes (Topic 740). The ASU presents amendments to income taxes and income tax accounting implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ASC 740-10-S99-2A. The guidance in ASU No. 2018-05 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 22, 2017, when the Act was signed into law, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this new standard as of January 1, 2018 and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Standards

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This ASU requires that a lessee recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from operating leases. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. This new guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods, and early adoption is permitted. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. JetPay has not yet determined the effect of the adoption of this standard on JetPay’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350). This ASU simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating the second step of the goodwill impairment test, which required computing the implied fair value of goodwill. Under the amendments in this update, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge should be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. This new guidance will be effective January 1, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of this guidance and assessing its impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features, (Part II) Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception. This ASU clarifies the recognition, measurement, and effect on earnings per share of certain freestanding equity-classified financial instruments that include down round features affect entities that present earnings per share in accordance with the guidance in Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The amendments also clarify existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments. This new guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those periods. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of this guidance and assessing its impact on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

Revenue Recognition, Completed-Contract Method [Policy Text Block]

Revenue Recognition and Contract Assets and Liabilities

The Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to its customers in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled for those goods or services. The Company currently operates and manages its business through two reportable segments, the Payment Services Segment and the HR & Payroll Services Segment, which coincide with the types of services the Company provides to its customers. The Company recognizes revenue for distinct performance obligations, wherein, a performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct product or service to the customer and is the unit of account in ASC Topic 606.

Within each customer contract, transaction prices are allocated to each distinct performance obligation based upon relative standalone selling price and then recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligations are satisfied. The majority of the Company’s contracts have multiple performance obligations primarily related to the various types of services the Company provides within its two reportable segments. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation using the best estimate of the standalone selling price for each distinct good or service in the contract.

Payment Services

Revenues from the Company’s credit and debit card processing operations are recognized in the period services are rendered as the Company processes credit and debit card transactions for its merchant customers or for merchant customers of its third party clients. Third party clients, or partners, include Independent Sales Organizations (“ISOs”), Value Added Resellers (“VARs”), Independent Software Vendors (“ISVs”) and financial institutions. The majority of the Company’s revenues within its credit and debit card processing business is comprised of transaction-based fees, which typically constitute a percentage of dollar volume processed, and/or a fee per transaction processed. In the case where the Company is only the processor of transactions, it charges transaction fees only and records these fees as revenues. In the case of contracts pursuant to which the Company processes credit and debit card transactions for merchant customers, revenues are primarily comprised of transaction fees charged to the merchant, as well as a percentage of the processed sale transaction. The Company’s contracts in most instances involve three parties: the Company, the merchant, and the sponsoring bank. With respect to many of the Company’s government and utility clients, as well as the Company’s JetX cash discount product, the cardholder is charged either a convenience fee (government and utilities) or transaction fee (JetX), instead of the merchant being charged for these fees. In all cases, the Company recognizes revenues net of interchange fees and assessments charged by the credit card associations. Interchange fees and credit card association fees are not controlled by the Company. The Company effectively functions as a clearing house collecting and remitting credit card association fees and interchange fee settlement on behalf of issuing banks, debit networks, credit card associations and their processing customers.

The Company’s revenue streams within the Payment Services Segment include Financial Institutions revenues, Government Agency & Utility revenues, and Partners & e-Commerce revenues. Within the Payment Services Segment, the transaction price consists primarily of usage-based variable consideration, as the total consideration to be received is based on the number of transactions and dollar volume that will be processed by the Company for the merchant customer. The Company’s performance obligations in the Payment Services Segment are satisfied over time as customers receive and obtain control of the payment processing service. The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient for measuring progress towards the completion of a performance obligation and recognizes revenue as the Company has the right to invoice each customer, which generally corresponds with the transactions processed on behalf of the merchant customers.

Additionally, the Company’s direct merchant customers and certain third-party partners have the liability for any charges properly reversed by the cardholder. In the event, however, the Company is not able to collect such amount from the merchants due to merchant fraud, insolvency, bankruptcy or any other reason, it may be liable for any such reversed charges. The Company in some instances requires cash deposits, guarantees, letters of credit and other types of collateral from certain merchants to minimize any such contingent liability, and it also utilizes a number of systems and procedures to manage merchant risk.

HR & Payroll Services

Revenues from the Company’s JetPay HR & Payroll Services operations are recognized in the period products or services are delivered under arrangements with clients where fees are fixed or determinable and allocated to specific performance obligations. Certain processing services are provided under annual service arrangements with revenue recognized when the service is delivered to the customer. All revenues are deferred until the allocated performance obligation has been completed and control is transferred to the customer. The Company’s service revenues are largely attributable to payroll-related processing services where the fees are based on a fixed amount per processing period or a fixed amount per processing period plus a fee per employee or transaction processed. The revenues earned from delivery service for the distribution of certain client payroll checks and reports is included in revenues, and the costs for delivery are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Within the HR & Payroll Services Segment, the transaction price consists primarily of fixed consideration which is the price negotiated at contract inception for the services to be provided. The Company’s performance obligations within the HR & Payroll Services Segment are satisfied at a point in time or over time depending upon the delivery of the product or service and how control is transferred to the customer. Payroll processing services are satisfied over time since the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits as the Company performs. The Company utilizes the as-invoiced practical expedient to recognize revenue as the Company is paid a fixed amount based upon payroll processing frequency and the number of active employees paid during that payroll processing period. For all other revenue streams within the HR & Payroll Services Segment, performance obligations are satisfied at a point in in time, which is when the delivery of the service to the customer has occurred.

Interest on funds held for clients is earned primarily on funds that are collected from clients before due dates for payroll tax administration services and for employee payment services, and invested until remittance to the applicable tax or regulatory agencies or client employee. These collections from clients are typically remitted between one (1) and thirty (30) days after receipt, with some items extending to ninety (90) days. The interest earned on these funds is included in total revenues on the Consolidated Statements of Operations because the collecting, holding, and remitting of these funds are critical components of providing these services.

Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Disaggregation of Revenues

The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers based upon the channel/industry of its customers. The Company determined that disaggregating revenues into these categories achieves the disclosure objective to depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. A reconciliation of disaggregated revenues to segment revenues is provided in Note 13. Segments.

Contract Assets and Liabilities [Policy Text Block]

Contract Assets and Liabilities

Deferred Revenue

The Company recognizes contract liabilities in the form of deferred revenue in instances where a customer pays in advance of when they take control of the goods or services to be performed by the Company. The Company receives payments from its customers based on standard terms and conditions.

Changes in deferred revenue were as follows (in thousands):

	March 31,		March 31,

Deferred Commissions

Our incremental direct costs of obtaining a contract, which primarily consist of sales commissions paid to inside sales professionals, are deferred and recognized ratably over the three-year and ten-year estimated terms of our customer relationships in the Payment Services and HR & Payroll Services Segments, respectively. The average terms of our customer relationships will be tested for impairment annually and whenever an indicator of impairment exists. We include deferred commissions within other non-current assets since the average life of the Company’s customer relationships is greater than one year.

Changes in deferred commissions, presented in other non-current assets, were as follows (in thousands):

Practical Expedients Elected [Policy Text Block]

Practical Expedients Elected

The Company has elected the following practical expedients in applying ASC Topic 606 across all reportable segments:

As-Invoiced

Within the Payment Services Segment, the Company bills a fixed fee and/or a percent of volume for each transaction processed. Within the HR & Payroll Services Segment, the Company bills a fixed amount based on payroll processing frequency and the number of active employees paid during that payroll processing period. In both segments, as the Company has a right to invoice the customer in the amount that corresponds directly with the value of its performance completed to date, it will utilize the as invoiced practical expedient to recognize revenue.

Directly allocable variable consideration to wholly unsatisfied performance obligations exemption

Within the Payment Services Segment, all consideration in the contract is considered variable, and no amount is treated as fixed consideration. Furthermore, the Company will recognize revenue over time using invoice as practical expedient. As such, it will not need to estimate and disclose the variable consideration in the transaction price allocated to the performance obligation as stipulated under the exemption.

Contingent Liability Reserve Estimate, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Reserve for Chargeback Losses

Disputes between a cardholder and a merchant periodically arise as a result of, among other things, cardholder dissatisfaction with merchandise quality or merchant services. Such disputes may not be resolved in the merchant’s favor. In these cases, the transaction is “charged back” to the merchant, which means the purchase price is refunded to the customer through the merchant’s bank and charged to the merchant. If the merchant has inadequate funds, the Company must bear the credit risk for the full amount of the transaction. The Company evaluates the risk for such transactions and estimates the potential loss for chargebacks based primarily on historical experience and records a loss reserve accordingly. The Company believes its reserve for chargeback losses is adequate to cover both the known probable losses and the incurred but not yet reported losses at the balance sheet dates. Chargeback reserves totaling $292,000 and $413,000 were recorded as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash, restricted cash, settlement processing assets and liabilities, accounts receivable, funds held for clients, accounts payable and client fund obligations, approximated fair value as of the balance sheet dates presented, because of the relatively short maturity dates on these instruments. The carrying amounts of the financing arrangements approximate fair value as of the balance sheet dates presented, because interest rates on these instruments approximate market interest rates after consideration of stated interest rates, anti-dilution protection and associated warrants.

Concentration Risk, Credit Risk, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash, accounts receivable, settlement processing assets and funds held for clients. The Company’s cash is deposited with major financial institutions. At times, such deposits may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurable amount

Receivables, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Accounts Receivable

The Company’s accounts receivable are due from its merchant credit card and its payroll customers. Credit is extended based on the evaluation of customers’ financial condition and, generally, collateral is not required. Payment terms vary but are typically collected via automated clearing house payments originated by us two (2) to three (3) days following month end. Amounts due from customers are stated in the financial statements net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts which are outstanding longer than the payment terms are considered past due. The Company determines its allowance by considering a number of factors, including the length of time trade accounts receivable are past due, the Company’s previous loss history, the customer’s current ability to pay its obligation to the Company, and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they are deemed uncollectible.

Unsettled Merchant Accounts [Policy Text Block]

Settlement Processing Assets and Funds and Obligations

Funds settlement refers to the process of transferring funds for sales and credits between card issuers and merchants. Depending on the type of transaction, either the credit card interchange system or the debit network is used to transfer the information and funds between the sponsoring bank and card issuing bank to complete the link between merchants and card issuers. In certain of our processing arrangements, merchant funding primarily occurs after the sponsoring bank receives the funds from the card issuer through the card networks, creating a net settlement obligation on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. In a limited number of other arrangements, the sponsoring bank funds the merchants before it receives the net settlement funds from the card networks, creating a net settlement asset on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. Additionally, certain of the Company’s sponsoring banks collect the gross revenue from the merchants, pay the interchange fees and assessments to the credit card associations, collect their fees for processing and pay the Company a net residual payment representing the Company’s fees for the services. In these instances, the Company does not reflect the related settlement processing assets and obligations in its Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Timing differences in processing credit and debit card and automated clearing house transactions, as described above, interchange expense collection, merchant reserves, sponsoring bank reserves, and exception items result in settlement processing assets and obligations. Settlement processing assets consist primarily of our portion of settlement assets due from customers and receivable from merchants for the portion of the discount fee related to reimbursement of the interchange expense, our receivable from the processing bank for transactions we have funded merchants in advance of receipt of card association funding, merchant reserves held, sponsoring bank reserves and exception items, such as customer chargeback amounts receivable from merchants. Settlement processing obligations consist primarily of merchant reserves, our liability to the processing bank for transactions for which we have received funding from the members but have not funded merchants and exception items.

Settlement assets, funds and obligations resulting from JetPay Payments, FL’s processing services and associated settlement activities include settlement receivables due from credit card associations and debit networks and certain cash accounts to which JetPay Payments, FL does not have legal ownership but has the right to use the accounts to satisfy the related settlement obligations. JetPay Payments, FL’s corresponding settlement obligations are for amounts payable to customers, net of processing fees earned by JetPay Payments, FL. Settlement receivables and payables for credit and debit card transactions are recorded at the gross transaction amounts. The gross amounts are then processed through JetPay Payments, FL’s settlement accounts, and JetPay Payments, FL retains its fees for the transactions upon settlement. Settlement receivables for e-check transactions consist of only JetPay Payments, FL’s fees for the transactions. Settlement receivables are generally collected within four (4) business days. Settlement obligations are generally paid within three (3) business days, regardless of when the related settlement receivables are collected.

Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Property and Equipment and Depreciation

Property and equipment acquired in the Company’s business acquisitions have been recorded at estimated fair value. The Company records all other property and equipment acquired in the normal course of business at cost. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are generally as follows: leasehold improvements – shorter of economic life or remaining term of the related lease; machinery and equipment – five (5) to fifteen (15) years; and furniture and fixtures – five (5) to ten (10) years. Significant additions or improvements extending assets’ useful lives are capitalized; normal maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Goodwill, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the premium paid over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in the Company’s business combinations. The Company performs a goodwill impairment test on at least an annual basis. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires significant judgments, including estimation of future cash flows, which are dependent on internal forecasts, estimation of the long-term rate of growth for the businesses, the useful life over which cash flows will occur and determination of the Company’s weighted average cost of capital. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and/or conclusions on goodwill impairment for each reporting unit. The Company conducts its annual goodwill impairment test as of December 31 of each year or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. The Company periodically analyzes whether any such indicators of impairment exist. A significant amount of judgment is involved in determining if an indicator of impairment has occurred. Such indicators may include a sustained significant decline in our stock price and market capitalization, a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate, unanticipated competition and/or slower expected growth rates, adverse actions or assessments by a regulator, among others. The Company compares the fair value of its reporting unit to its respective carrying value, including related goodwill. Future changes in the industry could impact the results of future annual impairment tests. The Company’s annual quantitative goodwill impairment testing indicated there was no impairment as of December 31, 2017. Additionally, no indicators of impairment occurred in the three months ended March 31, 2018. There can be no assurance that future tests of goodwill impairment will not result in impairment charges.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Intangible Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Identifiable Intangible Assets

Identifiable intangible assets consist primarily of customer relationships, software costs, and tradenames. Certain tradenames are considered to have indefinite lives, and as such, are not subject to amortization. These assets are tested for impairment using undiscounted cash flow methodology annually and whenever there is an impairment indicator. Estimating future cash flows requires significant judgment and projections may vary from cash flows eventually realized. Several impairment indicators are beyond the Company’s control, and determining whether or not they will occur cannot be predicted with any certainty. Identifiable intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their respective assigned estimated lives; customer relationships use eight (8) to fifteen (15) years; tradenames use one (1) to three (3) years; and software costs use one (1) to eight (8) years

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Impairment of Long–Lived Assets

The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets held and used at least annually or when events and circumstances warrant such a review. If significant events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable, the Company performs a test of recoverability by comparing the carrying value of the asset or asset group to its undiscounted expected future cash flows. Cash flow projections are sometimes based on a group of assets, rather than a single asset. If cash flows cannot be separately and independently identified for a single asset, the Company determines whether impairment has occurred for the group of assets for which it can identify the projected cash flows. If the carrying values are in excess of undiscounted expected future cash flows, it measures any impairment by comparing the fair value of the asset group to its carrying value. If the fair value of an asset or asset group is determined to be less than the carrying amount of the asset or asset group, impairment in the amount of the difference is recorded. The Company’s annual qualitative impairment testing indicated there was no impairment as of December 31, 2017. Additionally, no indicators of impairment occurred in the three months ended March 31, 2018. There can be no assurance that future tests of impairment will not result in impairment charges.

Convertible Preferred Stock [Policy Text Block]

Convertible Preferred Stock

The Company accounts for the redemption premium, beneficial conversion feature and issuance costs on or of its convertible preferred stock using the effective interest method, accreting such amounts to its convertible preferred stock from the date of issuance to the earliest date of redemption.

Share-Based Compensation [Policy Text Block]

Share-Based Compensation

The Company expenses employee share-based payments under ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, which requires compensation cost for the grant-date fair value of share-based payments to be recognized over the requisite service period. The Company estimates the grant date fair value of the share-based awards issued in the form of options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The dilutive effect of the right of our preferred stockholders to convert outstanding shares of Series A Preferred and Series A-1 Preferred into 16,949,152 and 1,102,041 shares of common stock, respectively, at March 31, 2018; the effect of 1,804,574 exercisable stock options granted under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2013 Stock Incentive Plan”) at March 31, 2018; and the effect of 266,667 exercisable warrants issued in connection with the Company’s purchase of treasury shares in February 2017 have been excluded from the loss per share calculation for the three months ended March 31, 2018 in that the assumed conversion of these options would be anti-dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2017, the dilutive effect of the right of our preferred stockholders to convert outstanding shares of Series A Preferred and Series A-1 Preferred into 16,949,152 and 754,898 shares of common stock, respectively; the effect of 1,227,909 exercisable stock options granted under the Company’s 2013 Stock Incentive Plan at March 31, 2017; and the effect of 266,667 exercisable warrants issued in connection with the Company’s purchase of treasury shares in February 2017 have been excluded from the loss per share calculation in that the assumed conversion of these options would be anti-dilutive.

Derivatives, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risks. The Company does review the terms of debt instruments it enters into to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments, including embedded conversion options, which are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as derivative financial instruments. In circumstances where the host instrument contains more than one embedded derivative instrument, including the conversion option, that is required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single compound derivative instrument.

Bifurcated embedded derivatives are initially recorded at fair value and are then revalued at each reporting date with changes in the fair value reported as non-operating income or expense. When the equity or convertible debt instruments contain embedded derivative instruments that are to be bifurcated and accounted for as liabilities, the total proceeds received are first allocated to the fair value of all the bifurcated derivative instruments. The remaining proceeds, if any, are then allocated to the host instruments themselves, usually resulting in those instruments being recorded at a discount from their face value. The discount from the face value of the convertible debt, together with the stated interest on the instrument, is amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges recorded within other expenses (income), using the effective interest method.

Fair Value Measurement, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Fair Value Measurements

The Company accounts for fair value measurements in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC Topic 820”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC Topic 820 are described below:

Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2 Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

Level 3 Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required by ASC Topic 820, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

	Fair Value at March 31, 2018
	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
			(in thousands)
Contingent consideration	$	2,227	$	-	$	-	$	2,227

	Fair Value at December 31, 2017
	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
			(in thousands)
Contingent consideration	$	2,264	$	-	$	-	$	2,264

The following table sets forth a summary of the change in fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
	2018		2017
Beginning balance	$	2,264	$	2,982
Change in fair value of JetPay Payments, TX contingent consideration		-		(35)
Change in fair value of JetPay Payments, FL contingent consideration		(37)		109
Payment of JetPay Payments, PA contingent consideration		-		(314)
Totals	$	2,227	$	2,742

Level 3 liabilities are valued using unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the financial instrument. For fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s accounting and finance department, which reports to the Chief Financial Officer, determines its valuation policies and procedures. The development and determination of the unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements and fair value calculations are the responsibility of the Company’s accounting and finance department with support from the Company’s outside consultants which are approved by the Chief Financial Officer. Level 3 financial liabilities for the relevant periods consist of contingent consideration related to the JetPay Payments, TX, JetPay Payments, PA and JetPay Payments, FL acquisitions for which there are no current markets such that the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. Changes in fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy will be analyzed each period based on changes in estimates or assumptions and recorded as appropriate.

In addition to the consideration paid upon closing of the JetPay Payments, TX acquisition, WLES, L.P. (“WLES”), through December 28, 2017, was entitled to receive 833,333 shares of common stock if the trading price of the common stock is at least $8.00 per share for any 20 trading days out of a 30 trading day period and $5.0 million in cash if the trading price of the common stock is at least $9.50 per share for any 20 trading days out of a 30 trading day period. This contingent consideration was valued at $1.54 million at the date of acquisition based on utilization of option pricing models and was recorded as a non-current other liability for $700,000 and as additional paid-in capital for $840,000 at December 31, 2012. The stock-based component value of $840,000 recorded at December 28, 2012 (the JetPay Payments, TX acquisition date) remains unchanged at March 31, 2018 as a result of this component being recorded as equity. The fair value at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 of the cash-based contingent consideration was $0 as a result of the contingent consideration requirements not being met by December 28, 2017.

 

The fair value of the common stock was derived from the per share price of the common stock at the valuation date. Management determined that the results of its valuation were reasonable. The expected life represents the remaining contractual term of the derivative. The volatility rate was developed based on analysis of the historical volatility rates of similarly situated companies (using a number of observations that was at least equal to or exceeded the number of observations in the life of the derivative financial instrument at issue). The risk free interest rates were obtained from publicly available U.S. Treasury yield curve rates. The dividend yield is zero because the Company has not paid dividends and does not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

In addition to the consideration paid upon closing of the JetPay Payments, PA acquisition, the previous unitholders were entitled to receive up to an additional $500,000 if certain net revenue goals were achieved through October 31, 2016. This contingent consideration was valued at $400,000 at the date of acquisition, with the final $314,000 earned and paid on January 17, 2017.

 

In addition to the consideration paid upon closing of the JetPay Payments, FL acquisition, the former shareholders of JetPay Payments, FL were entitled to have released from escrow previously issued shares up to an additional 500,000 shares of common stock upon JetPay Payments, FL achieving certain gross profit performance targets in 2016 and 2017. The former shareholders are also able to receive up to 500,000 warrants to purchase shares of common stock, each with a strike price of $4.00 per share and a 10-year term from its date of issuance, upon JetPay Payments, FL achieving certain gross profit performance targets in 2018 and 2019. See Note 3. Business Acquisition. This contingent consideration was valued at $1,975,000 at the date of acquisition, $1.4 million at December 31, 2017 (recorded within non-current other liabilities), and $1.4 million at March 31, 2018 (recorded within non-current other liabilities), based on utilization of a Monte Carlo simulation to estimate the variance and relative risk of achieving future gross profit performance targets. Contingent consideration liability of $525,000 was reclassified to additional paid-in capital in June 2017 with 250,000 shares of common stock issued at the closing of the acquisition released from escrow as a result of the 2016 gross profit performance targets being achieved. The key assumptions in applying the Monte Carlo simulation included expected gross profit growth rates, the expected standard deviation and serial correlation of expected net revenue growth rates as well as a normal distribution assumption.

 

The Company uses either a binomial option-pricing model with a Monte Carlo simulation or the Black-Scholes option valuation model to value Level 3 financial liabilities at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. These models incorporate transaction details such as the Company’s stock price, contractual terms, maturity, risk free rates, as well as volatility. A significant decrease in the volatility or a significant decrease in the Company’s stock price, in isolation, would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement.

As of March 31, 2018, there were no transfers in or out of Level 3 from other levels in the fair value hierarchy.

In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 815,  Derivatives and Hedging Activities, the Company presented its derivative liability at fair value on its Consolidated Balance Sheets, with the corresponding change in fair value recorded in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations for the applicable reporting periods.

Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740,  Income Taxes (“ASC Topic 740”). ASC Topic 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carryovers. Deferred income tax expense (benefit) represents the change during the period in the deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities. In establishing the provision for income taxes and determining deferred income tax assets and liabilities, the Company makes judgments and interpretations based on enacted laws, published tax guidance and estimates of future earnings. ASC Topic 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or the entire deferred income tax asset will not be realized.

ASC Topic 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. ASC Topic 740 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company is required to file income tax returns in the United States (federal) and in various state and local jurisdictions. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements. The Company believes that its income tax positions and deductions would be sustained upon examination and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in material changes to its financial position.

The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits is to record such interest and penalties as interest expense and as a component of selling, general and administrative expense, respectively. There were no amounts accrued for penalties or interest as of or during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. Management does not expect any significant changes in its unrecognized tax benefits in the next year.

Subsequent Events, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Subsequent Events

Management evaluates events that have occurred after the balance sheet date and through the date the financial statements are issued. Based upon the review, management did not identify any recognized or non-recognized subsequent events which would have required an adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements, except as described in Note 14.
