Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2023

(unaudited) 

1. Principles of Consolidation and Description of Business

Standard Premium Finance Holdings, Inc. (“SPFH” or the “Holding”) was incorporated on May 12, 2016, pursuant to the laws of the State of Florida.

Standard Premium Finance Management Corporation (“SPFMC” or the “subsidiary”) was incorporated on April 23, 1991, pursuant to the laws of the State of Florida, to engage principally in the insurance premium financing business. The Subsidiary is a licensed insurance premium finance company in twenty-nine states.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SPFH and its wholly-owned subsidiary SPFMC. SPFH and its subsidiary are collectively referred to as “the Company”. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements (unaudited), which include the accounts of Standard Premium Finance Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements that would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements of Standard Premium Finance Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, have been omitted.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Cash Overdraft

The Company considers short-term interest-bearing investments with initial maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. There are no cash equivalents at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

The Company experienced a cash overdraft of $34,390 in its primary group of bank accounts as of September 30, 2023. As this group of bank accounts is funded by the Company’s line of credit (see Note 7), overdrafts are an expected part of the cash cycle. The Company is not charged any fees for overdrafts as the line of credit funds the operating accounts daily. The Company actively manages its cash balances to minimize avoidable interest charges.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Revenue Recognition

Finance charges on insurance premium installment contracts are initially recorded as unearned interest and are credited to income monthly over the term of the finance agreement. For Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and Texas contracts, an initial origination fee of $20 per contract and the first month’s interest are recognized as income at the inception of a contract. The same treatment is applied to the $15 initial origination fee and first month’s interest in South Carolina. The origination fee can only be charged once to an insured in a twelve-month period. In accordance with industry practice, finance charges are recognized as income using the “Rule of 78s” method of amortizing finance charge income, which does not materially differ from the interest method of amortizing finance charge income on short term receivables. Late charges

are recognized as income when charged. Unearned interest is netted against Premium Finance Contracts and Related Receivables on the balance sheet for reporting purposes.

The provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) provide guidance on the recognition, presentation, and disclosure of revenue in financial statements. ASC 606 outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provides guidance for disclosure related to revenue recognition policies. ASC 606 requires revenue to be recognized upon transfer of control of promised services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for services that are distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. In such cases, revenue would be recognized at the time of delivery or over time for each performance of service. However, ASC 606 exempts items under ASC 835-30 and ASC 310-20 (i.e., finance charges, late charges and origination fee income for the Company).

Premium Finance Contracts and Related Receivable

The Company finances insurance premiums on policies primarily for commercial enterprises. The Company amortizes these loans over the term of each contract, which varies from 3 to 12 monthly payments, and manages these loans on a collective basis based on similar risk characteristics. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the portfolio has an amortized cost basis of $62,517,673 and $51,525,950, respectively. Repayment terms are structured such that the contracts will be repaid within the term of the underlying insurance policy, generally less than one year. The contracts are secured by the unearned premium of the insurance carrier which is obligated to pay the Company any unearned premium in the event the insurance policy is cancelled pursuant to a power of attorney contained in the finance contract. As of September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the amount of unearned premium on open and cancelled contracts totaled $85,872,295 and $71,315,354, respectively. The annual percentage interest rates on new contracts averaged approximately 16.8% and 15.6% during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The carrying amount of the Premium Finance Contracts (“Contracts”) is reduced by an allowance for credit losses that are maintained at a level which, in management’s judgment, is adequate to absorb credit losses inherent in the Contracts. The amount of the allowance is based upon management’s evaluation of the collectability of the Contracts, including the nature of the accounts, credit concentration, trends, historical data, specific impaired Contracts, current and forecasted economic conditions, and other risks inherent in the Contracts. The allowance is increased by a provision for credit losses, which is charged to expense, and reduced by charge-offs, net of recovery.

To estimate expected credit losses on loans that exhibit similar risk characteristics, the Company considers historical loss information (updated for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the expected collectability of the amortized cost basis pool) using a loss-rate approach. The Company monitors the A.M. Best rating for insurance carriers whose policies are being financed as a factor of the quality of its contract receivables. As of September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the Company did not expect any material degradation to the ratings of the insurance carriers it currently underwrites or anticipates underwriting in a way that would affect the allowance for credit losses.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

In addition, specific allowances are established for accounts over 120 days. Individual contracts are written off against the allowance when collection of the individual contracts appears doubtful. The collectability of outstanding and cancelled contracts is generally secured by collateral in the form of the unearned premiums on the underlying policies. The collectability of amounts due from agents is determined by the financial strength of the agency.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Furniture and equipment 5 - 7 years

Computer equipment and software 3 - 5 years

Leasehold improvements 10 years

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include assumptions used in valuation of deferred tax assets, allowance for doubtful accounts, depreciable lives of property and equipment, and valuation of stock-based compensation.

Concentration of Credit and Financial Instrument Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash and loans receivable from customers, agents, and insurance companies. The Company maintains its cash balances at two banks. Accounts at these financial institutions are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. Uninsured balances are $97,117 and $482,479 at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The Company mitigates this risk by maintaining its cash balances at high-quality financial institutions. The following table provides a reconciliation between uninsured balances and cash per the balance sheet:

	September 30, 2023 (unaudited)			December 31, 2022
Uninsured Balance	$	97,117		$	482,479
Plus: Insured balances		250,000			250,000
Plus: Balances at institutions that do not exceed FDIC limit		82,318			17,758
Less: Outstanding checks		(463,825	)		(329,026	)
Cash (overdraft) per Consolidated Balance Sheet	$	(34,390	)	$	421,211

The Company controls its credit risk in accounts receivable through credit standards, limits on exposure, by monitoring the financial condition of insurance companies, by adhering to statutory cancellation policies, and by monitoring and pursuing collections from past due accounts. We cancel policies at the earliest permissible date allowed by the statutory cancellation regulations.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Approximately 61% and 57% of the Company’s business activity is with customers located in Florida for 2023 and 2022, respectively. Approximately 11% and 13% of the Company’s business activity is with customers located in Georgia for 2023 and 2022, respectively. Approximately 12% and 13% of the Company's business activity is with customers located in North Carolina for 2023 and 2022, respectively. There were no other significant regional, industrial or group concentrations during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

Amortization of Line of Credit Costs

Amortization of line of credit costs is computed using the straight-line method over the life of the loan.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s carrying amounts of financial instruments as defined by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 825, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, including premium finance contracts and related receivables, prepaid expenses, drafts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, approximate their fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments. The fair value of the line of credit and notes payable are based on current rates at which the Company can borrow funds with similar remaining maturities and the carrying value approximates fair value.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes is computed using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and for operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates that apply to taxable income in effect for the years in which those tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.

Uncertain tax positions are recognized only when the Company believes it is more likely than not that the tax position will be upheld on examination by the taxing authorities based on the merits of the position. The Company has no material unrecognized tax benefits and no adjustments to its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows were required as of September 30, 2023.

Tax returns are open to examination by taxing authorities for three years after filing. No income tax returns are currently under examination by taxing authorities. SPFMC and SPFH recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. SPFMC and SPFH did not have any accrued interest or penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC Topic No. 718, “Stock Compensation,” which establishes the requirements for expensing equity awards. The Company measures and recognizes as compensation expense the fair value of all share-based payment awards based on estimated grant date fair values. Our stock-based compensation is issuances made to directors, executives, employees and consultants, which includes employee stock options related to our 2019 Equity

Incentive Plan and stock warrants. The determination of fair value involves a number of significant estimates. We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the value of employee stock options and stock warrants which requires a number of assumptions to determine the model inputs. These include the expected volatility of our stock and employee exercise behavior which are based expectations of future developments over the term of the option.

Earnings per Common Share

The Corporation accounts for earnings (loss) per share in accordance with FASB ASC Topic No. 260 - 10, “Earnings Per Share”, which establishes the requirements for presenting earnings per share (“EPS”). FASB ASC Topic No. 260 - 10 requires the presentation of “basic” and “diluted” EPS on the face of the statement of operations. Basic EPS amounts are calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted EPS assumes the exercise of all stock options, warrants and convertible securities having exercise prices less than the average market price of the common stock during the periods, using the treasury stock method.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, stock options to purchase 207,400 and 207,400 shares of common stock were outstanding, respectively, as described in Note 11. 93,700 of these options vested on March 1, 2021, 93,700 stock options vested on March 1, 2022, 10,000 stock options vested on June 29, 2023, and the remaining 10,000 stock options vest on June 29, 2024. The 197,400 vested stock options are considered dilutive and included in the calculation of diluted EPS at September 30, 2023 and 2022.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, stock warrants to purchase 1,035,000 and 1,035,000 shares of common stock were outstanding, respectively, as described in Note 11. All the stock warrants vested immediately. 635,000 warrants are considered dilutive and included in the calculation of diluted EPS and the remaining 400,000 warrants are “out-of-the-money” and excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS as of September 30, 2023 and 2022.

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock can be converted to common stock at 80% of the prevailing market price over the previous 30-day period at the option of the Company. This preferred stock is anti-dilutive as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and excluded from diluted earnings per share.

Leases

The Company recognizes and measures its leases in accordance with ASC Topic 842, “Leases”. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease, or contains a lease, at inception of a contract and when the terms of an existing contract are changed. The Company recognizes a lease liability and a right of use (ROU) asset at the commencement date of the lease. The lease liability is initially and subsequently recognized based on the present value of its future lease payments calculated using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) - Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts on an Entity’s Own Equity. The ASU simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more equity contracts to qualify for the exceptions. The ASU also simplifies the diluted net income per share calculation in certain areas. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not anticipate any impact on the consolidated financial statements from the adoption of the standard.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments," which replaces the existing "incurred loss" model for recognizing credit losses with an "expected loss" model referred to as the CECL model. Under the CECL model, the Company is required to present certain financial assets carried at amortized cost, such as insurance premium finance loans held for investment, at the net amount expected to be collected. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. The Company adopted this standard in the first fiscal quarter of 2023. There has been no impact on current earnings due to the adoption of this standard.

Cash Surrender Value of Life Insurance

The Company is the owner and beneficiary of a life insurance policy on its president. The cash surrender value relative to the policy in place at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $642,274 and $603,816, respectively.

3. Premium Finance Contracts, Related Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses

Premium Finance Contracts and Related Receivable represent monthly payments due on insurance premium finance contracts. The Company finances insurance policies over periods from three months to one year for businesses and consumers who make an initial down payment of, on average, 25 percent of the insurance policy amounts. The entire amount of the contract is recorded including amounts due for finance charges and services charges. These receivables are reported net of unearned interest for financial statements purposes. Amounts due from agents represent balances related to (1) an agent’s unearned commission due to a policy cancellation and (2) down payments collected by the agents on behalf of the insured, which are due to us. Receivables from insurance premium finance contracts cancelled are due from the insurance companies.

7. Line of Credit

Relationship with First Horizon Bank (“FHB”)

On February 3, 2021, the Company entered into an exclusive twenty-four month loan agreement with First Horizon Bank, our senior lender, for a revolving line of credit in the amount of $35,000,000, which was immediately funded for $25,974,695 to pay off the prior line of credit with a different lender. On this date, the prior line of credit was fully repaid and terminated. The Company recorded $180,350 of loan origination costs. In October 2021, the Company increased its line of credit with First Horizon Bank from $35,000,000 to $45,000,000. The Company recorded $25,771 of line of credit costs related to the credit increase. In November 2022, the Company extended the maturity on its line of credit agreement with FHB until November 30, 2025. This extension also changed the Index Rate of the line of credit from 30-Day Libor to 30-Day Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) in anticipation of the phase-out of Libor on June 30, 2023. The Company recorded $117,228 of line of credit costs related to this extension.

At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the advance rate was 85% of the aggregate unpaid balance of the Company’s eligible accounts receivable. The line of credit is secured by all the Company’s assets and is personally guaranteed by our CEO and two members of the Board of Directors of the Company. The line of credit bears interest at 30-Day SOFR plus 2.35-2.85% per annum (8.08% at September 30, 2023 and 6.87% at December 31, 2022). The terms of the Line of Credit agreement provide for a minimum interest of 3.35% when the 30-day SOFR falls below 0.50%. As of September 30, 2023, the amount of principal outstanding on the line of credit was $41,473,739 and is reported on the consolidated balance sheet net of $22,165 of unamortized loan origination fees.

7. Line of Credit (Continued)

The Company’s agreements with FHB contain certain financial covenants and restrictions. Under these restrictions, all the Company’s assets are pledged to secure the line of credit, the Company must maintain certain financial ratios such as an adjusted tangible net worth ratio, interest coverage ratio and adjusted leverage ratio. The loan agreement also provides for certain covenants such as audited financial statements, notice of change of control, budget, permission for any new debt, and copies of filings with regulatory bodies. In November 2023, the Company executed an amendment of the loan agreement, which provided a waiver of default as of September 30, 2023. Management believes it was in compliance with the applicable debt covenants as of December 31, 2022.

8. PPP Loan

On April 18, 2020, the Company entered into a $271,000 loan with Woodforest National Bank, under a program administered by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) as part of the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) approved under the “Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act” (“CARES Act”) (Pub. L. No. 116-136). The loan matures in two (2) years and accrues interest at 1% from the origination of the loan. After a 6-month deferral, interest and principal payments are due monthly.

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

Overview

We are an insurance premium financing company, specializing primarily in commercial policies. We make it efficient for companies to access financing for insurance premiums. Enabled by our network of marketing representatives and relationships with insurance agents, we provide a value-driven, customer-focused lending service.

We have offered premium financing since 1991 through our wholly owned subsidiary, Standard Premium Finance Management Corporation. We are generally targeting premium financing loans from $1,000 to $15,000, with repayment terms ranging from 3 to 12 months, although we may offer larger loans in cases we deem appropriate. Qualified customers may have multiple financings with us concurrently, which we believe provides opportunities for repeat business, as well as increased value to our customers.

We originate loans primarily in Florida, although we operate in several states. Over the past three years, the Company has expanded its operations, and currently is licensed to finance insurance premiums in twenty-nine states. We intend to continue to expand our market into new states as part of our organic growth trend. Loans are originated primarily through a network of insurance agents solicited by our in-house sales team and marketing representatives.

We generate the majority of our revenue through interest income and the associated fees earned from our loan products. We earn interest based on the “rule of 78” and earn other associated fees as applicable to each loan. These fees include, but are not limited to, a one-time finance charge, late fees, and NSF fees. Our company charges interest to its customers solely by the Rule of 78. Charging interest per the Rule of 78 is the industry standard among premium finance loans. The Rule of 78 is a method to calculate the amount of principal and interest paid by each payment on a loan with equal monthly payments. The Rule of 78 is a permissible method of calculating interest in the states in which we operate. The Rule of 78 recognizes greater amounts of interest income and lesser amounts of principal repayment during the first months of the loan, while decreasing interest income and increasing principal repayment during the final months of the loan. Whenever a loan is repaid prior to full maturity, the Rule of 78 methodology is applied and the borrower is refunded accordingly.

We rely on a diversified set of funding sources for the loans we make to our customers. Our primary source of financing has historically been a line of credit at a financial institution collateralized by our loan receivables and our other assets. We receive additional funding from unsecured subordinate noteholders that pays monthly interest to the investors. We have also used proceeds from operating cash flow to fund loans in the past and continue to finance a portion of our outstanding loans with these funds. See Liquidity and Capital Resources for additional information regarding our financing strategy.

The Company’s main source of funding is its line of credit, which represented approximately 68% ($41,451,574) of its capital and total liabilities as of September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, the Company’s subordinated notes payable and PPP loan represented approximately 14% ($8,889,988) of the Company’s capital and total liabilities, operating liabilities provide approximately 8% ($4,679,165) of the Company’s capital and total liabilities, preferred equity provides approximately 3% ($1,660,000) of the Company’s capital and total liabilities, and equity in retained earnings and common paid-in capital represents the remaining 7% ($4,588,293) of the Company’s capital and total liabilities.

Gross Revenue

Gross Revenue represents the sum of interest and finance income, associated fees and other revenue.

Originations

Originations represent the total principal amount of Loans made during the period.

Interest Earned Rate

The Interest Earned Rate is the average annual percentage interest rate earned on new loans originated in the reported period.

Cost of Funds Rate, Gross

Cost of Funds Rate, Gross is calculated as interest expense divided by average debt outstanding for the period.

Cost of Funds Rate, Net

Cost of Funds Rate, Net is calculated as interest expense divided by average debt outstanding for the period, net of the interest related tax benefit.

Reserve Ratio

Reserve Ratio is our allowance for credit losses at the end of the period divided by the total amount of principal outstanding on Loans at the end of the period. It excludes net deferred origination costs and associated fees.

Provision Rate

Provision Rate equals the provision for credit losses for the period divided by originations for the period. Because we reserve for probable credit losses inherent in the portfolio upon origination, this rate is significantly impacted by the expectation of credit losses for the period’s originations volume. This rate is also impacted by changes in loss expectations for contract receivables originated prior to the commencement of the period.

22 

Return on Assets

Return on Assets is calculated as annualized net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders for the period divided by average total assets for the period.

Return on Equity

Return on Equity is calculated as annualized net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders for the period divided by average stockholders’ equity attributable to common stockholders for the period.

RESULTS of OPERATIONS

Results of Operations for the Three Months ended September 30, 2023 Compared to the Three Months ended September 30. 2022

Revenue 

Revenue increased by 22.5% overall or $477,243 to $2,594,359 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $2,117,116 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in revenue was primarily due to a 27.9% or $488,295 increase in finance charges. Revenue from finance charges comprised 86.2% and 82.6% of overall revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

During the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022, the company financed an additional $4,324,329 in new loan originations. This increase was due largely to increased marketing efforts throughout our established states. Furthermore, the Company began financing in four additional states in which it is licensed. The total quantity of loan originations increased slightly for the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022. The quantity of loan originations is directly correlated to the origination charge revenue, as the Company immediately recognizes an origination fee on substantially all new loans.

Under the terms of the line of credit agreement, the loan receivables and our other assets provide the collateral for the loan. As the receivables increase, driven by new sales, the company has greater borrowing power, giving it the opportunity to generate additional sales. In November 2022, the Company extended the maturity of its line of credit until November 30, 2025. See Future Cash Requirements for the Company’s strategy regarding its line of credit.

Expense

Expenses increased by 27.9% or $531,662 to $2,439,865 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $1,908,203 for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

The increase in expenses was primarily due to increases in the following categories:

·  $385,242 increase in interest expense as a result of increases in the line of credit interest rate. Due to benchmark interest rate increases adopted by the Federal Reserve Board throughout 2022 and 2023, interest rates throughout the marketplace have increased accordingly. Our line of credit features a variable interest rate based on one-month SOFR with a minimum rate of 3.35%. As of September 30, 2023 and 2022, our line of credit’s interest rate was quoted at 8.08% and 5.41%, respectively. Furthermore, as of September 30, 2023, our net borrowings on the line of credit had increased by $6,087,938 to $41,451,574 from $35,363,636 at September 30, 2022. This increase in borrowings is due to increased loan originations.

·  $86,820 increase in the provision for credit losses as a result of the growth in the size of the Company’s loan portfolio as of September 30, 2023 when compared to September 30, 2022. The Company maintains a provision for credit losses based on the gross value of its premium finance contracts and related receivable employing historical and forward-looking attributes.

·  $44,894 increase in commission expense as a result of increased loan originations during the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022.  

·  $32,243 increase in salaries and wages expense as a result of increased base salaries and wages for our office staff and increased employee headcount.  

The increase in expenses was offset by decreases in the following categories:

·  $23,866 decrease in professional fees primarily as a result of to one-time legal fees during the three months ended September 30, 2022 related to the Company’s common stock trading on the OTCQX.

Income before Taxes

Income before taxes decreased by $54,419 to $154,494 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $208,913 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. This decrease was attributable to the net increases and decreases as discussed above.

Income tax provision decreased $16,624 to $37,564 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $54,188 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in taxable income.

Net Income

Net Income decreased by $37,795 to $116,930 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $154,725 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. This decrease was attributable to the $54,419 decrease in income before taxes partially offset by the $16,624 decrease in the provision for income taxes.

Results of Operations for the Nine Months ended September 30, 2023 Compared to the Nine Months ended September 30. 2022

Revenue 

Revenue increased by 15.5% overall or $938,909 to $6,981,603 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from $6,042,694 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in revenue was primarily due to a 18.8% or $943,128 increase in finance charges. Revenue from finance charges comprised 85.2% and 82.9% of overall revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the company financed an additional $8,438,151 in new loan originations. This increase was due largely to increased marketing efforts throughout our established states. Furthermore, the Company began financing in four additional states in which it is licensed. Although the Company increased amounts financed, the total quantity of loan originations remained stable for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The quantity of loan originations is directly correlated to the origination charge revenue, as the Company immediately recognizes an origination fee on substantially all new loans.

Under the terms of the line of credit agreement, the loan receivables and our other assets provide the collateral for the loan. As the receivables increase, driven by new sales, the company has greater borrowing power, giving it the opportunity to generate additional sales. In November 2022, the Company extended the maturity of its line of credit until November 30, 2025. See Future Cash Requirements for the Company’s strategy regarding its line of credit.

Expense

Expenses increased by 23.1% or $1,218,723 to $6,498,682 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from $5,279,959 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

The increase in expenses was primarily due to increases in the following categories:

·  $1,171,749 increase in interest expense as a result of increases in the line of credit interest rate. Due to benchmark interest rate increases adopted by the Federal Reserve Board throughout 2022 and 2023, interest rates throughout the marketplace have increased accordingly. Our line of credit features a variable interest rate based on one-month SOFR with a minimum rate of 3.35%. As of September 30, 2023 and 2022, our line of credit’s interest rate was quoted at 8.08% and 5.41%, respectively. Furthermore, as of September 30, 2023, our net borrowings on the line of credit have increased by $6,087,938 to $41,451,574 from $35,363,636 at September 30, 2022. This increase in borrowings is due to increased loan originations.

·  $156,011 increase in salaries and wages expense as a result of increased base salaries and wages for our office staff and executives. Furthermore, in June 2022, the Company executed employment contracts with its CEO and CFO, increasing their base salaries.  

·  $59,906 increase in commission expense as a result of increased loan originations during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022.  

The increase in expenses was offset by decreases in the following categories:

·  $80,485 decrease in other operating expenses primarily as a result of a decrease in profit sharing accruals. During the second quarter of 2023, the Company began offering a 401(k) plan with an employer match as an additional benefit to its employees. As a result, the Company transferred the profit-sharing portfolio to the individual employees and began making matching contributions in June 2023. Furthermore, the Company faced a few general decreases in other expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to September 30, 2022.

·  $52,166 decrease in professional fees primarily as a result of a reduction in one-time consulting fees related to the initial trading on the OTCQX Best Market as well as a reduction in programming fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Income before Taxes

Income before taxes decreased by $279,814 to $482,921 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from $762,735 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. This decrease was attributable to the net increases and decreases as discussed above.

Income Tax Provision

Income tax provision decreased $76,522 to $121,070 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from $197,592 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in taxable income.

Net Income

Net Income decreased by $203,292 to $361,851 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from $565,143 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. This decrease was attributable to the $279,814 decrease in income before taxes offset by the $76,522 decrease in the provision for income taxes.

LIQUIDITY and CAPITAL RESOURCES as of September 30, 2023

We had a $34,390 cash overdraft and a working capital surplus of $11,071,181 at September 30, 2023. A significant working capital surplus is generally expected through the normal course of business due primarily to the difference between the balance in premium finance contracts receivable and the line of credit liability. As discussed in the Revenues section, the Company’s line of credit is currently the primary source of operating funds. In February 2021, the Company entered into a contract with its lender, First Horizon Bank, for a two-year $35,000,000 line of credit. In October 2021, the Company further increased its borrowing power on its line of credit to $45,000,000, an increase of $10,000,000. In November 2022, the Company extended the maturity of this line of credit until November 30, 2025 and replaced the benchmark rate of the loan from 30-day LIBOR to 30-day SOFR (Secured Overnight Financing Rate). LIBOR ceased to be published after June 30, 2023. The terms of the amended line of include an interest rate based on the 30-day SOFR rate plus an applicable margin of 2.55% - 2.96%, with a minimum rate of 3.35%. The applicable margin is based on the Company’s ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth. As of September 30, 2023, the Company’s applicable margin was 2.75%. We anticipate that the interest rate we pay on our revolving credit agreement may rise due to the recently adopted benchmark interest rate increases by the Federal Reserve Board. We believe that we will be able to pass along any interest rate increase on loans funded after the interest rate increase so that our net interest spread will not be materially affected. Furthermore, because of the short-term nature of our loans, we are not bound to any particular loan and its fixed interest rate for a long period of time. Based on our estimates and taking into account the risks and uncertainties of our plans, we believe that we will have adequate liquidity to finance and operate our business and repay our obligations as they become due in the next 12 months.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company raised an additional $180,000 in subordinated notes payable – related parties and $91,668 in subordinated notes payable. The Company repaid $27,000 of notes payable – related parties and $713,576 of notes payable. The Company utilizes its inflows from subordinated debt as a financing source before drawing additionally from the line of credit.

Future Cash Requirements

As the Company anticipates its growth patterns to continue, the availability on the line of credit is paramount to fueling this growth. By securing its line of credit, the Company can expect to satisfy the cash requirements anticipated by its future growth. Coinciding with these goals, in February 2021, the Company entered into a contract with First Horizon Bank for a two-year $35,000,000 line of credit. In October 2021, the Company executed a loan amendment with this lender to increase its line of credit to $45,000,000, an increase of $10,000,000. In November 2022, the Company extended its maturity on its line of credit facility until November 30, 2025. The extended maturity provides stability for the Company’s future cash requirements.

Uses of Liquidity and Capital Resources

We require cash to fund our operating expenses and working capital requirements, including costs associated with our premium finance loans, capital expenditures, debt repayments, acquisitions (if any), pursuing market expansion, supporting sales and marketing activities, and other general corporate purposes. While we believe we have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to fund our operations and repay our debt, we may elect to pursue additional financing activities such as refinancing or expanding existing debt or pursuing other debt or equity offerings to provide flexibility with our cash management and provide capital for potential acquisitions.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

None.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

We consider the following to be our most critical accounting policy because it involves critical accounting estimates and a significant degree of management judgment:

Allowance for credit losses

We are subject to the risk of loss associated with our borrowers’ inability to fulfill their payment obligations, the risk that we will not collect sufficient unearned premium refunds on the cancelled policies on the defaulted loans to fully cover the unpaid loan principal and the risk that payments due us from insurance agents and brokers will not be paid.

The carrying amount of the Premium Finance Contracts (“Contracts”) is reduced by an allowance for credit losses that are maintained at a level which, in management’s judgment, is adequate to absorb losses inherent in the Contracts. The amount of the allowance is based upon management’s evaluation of the collectability of the Contracts, including the nature of the accounts, credit concentration, trends, and historical data, specific impaired Contracts, economic conditions, and other risks inherent in the Contracts. The allowance is increased by a provision for credit losses, which is charged to expense, and reduced by charge-offs, net of recovery.

In addition, specific allowances are established for accounts past due over 120 days. Individual contracts are written off against the allowance when collection of the individual contracts appears doubtful. The collectability of outstanding and cancelled contracts is generally secured by collateral in the form of the unearned premiums on the underlying policies and accordingly historical losses are approximately 1% to 1.5% of the principal amount of loans made each year. The Company considers historical losses in determining the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses. The collectability of amounts due from agents is determined by the financial strength of the agency.

Stock-Based Compensation

We account for stock-based compensation by measuring and recognizing as compensation expense the fair value of all share-based payment awards made to directors, executives, employees and consultants, including employee stock options related to our 2019 Equity Incentive Plan and stock warrants based on estimated grant date fair values. The determination of fair value involves a number of significant estimates. We use the Black Scholes option pricing model to estimate the value of employee stock options and stock warrants which requires a number of assumptions to determine the model inputs. These include the expected volatility of our stock and employee exercise behavior which are based expectations of future developments over the term of the option.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Not required.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, we have evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2023. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Based upon the evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at September 30, 2023 at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2023 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements (unaudited), which include the accounts of Standard Premium Finance Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements that would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements of Standard Premium Finance Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, have been omitted.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Cash Overdraft

The Company considers short-term interest-bearing investments with initial maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. There are no cash equivalents at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

The Company experienced a cash overdraft of $34,390 in its primary group of bank accounts as of September 30, 2023. As this group of bank accounts is funded by the Company’s line of credit (see Note 7), overdrafts are an expected part of the cash cycle. The Company is not charged any fees for overdrafts as the line of credit funds the operating accounts daily. The Company actively manages its cash balances to minimize avoidable interest charges.

Revenue Recognition

Finance charges on insurance premium installment contracts are initially recorded as unearned interest and are credited to income monthly over the term of the finance agreement. For Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and Texas contracts, an initial origination fee of $20 per contract and the first month’s interest are recognized as income at the inception of a contract. The same treatment is applied to the $15 initial origination fee and first month’s interest in South Carolina. The origination fee can only be charged once to an insured in a twelve-month period. In accordance with industry practice, finance charges are recognized as income using the “Rule of 78s” method of amortizing finance charge income, which does not materially differ from the interest method of amortizing finance charge income on short term receivables. Late charges

are recognized as income when charged. Unearned interest is netted against Premium Finance Contracts and Related Receivables on the balance sheet for reporting purposes.

The provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) provide guidance on the recognition, presentation, and disclosure of revenue in financial statements. ASC 606 outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provides guidance for disclosure related to revenue recognition policies. ASC 606 requires revenue to be recognized upon transfer of control of promised services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for services that are distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. In such cases, revenue would be recognized at the time of delivery or over time for each performance of service. However, ASC 606 exempts items under ASC 835-30 and ASC 310-20 (i.e., finance charges, late charges and origination fee income for the Company).

Premium Finance Contracts and Related Receivable

The Company finances insurance premiums on policies primarily for commercial enterprises. The Company amortizes these loans over the term of each contract, which varies from 3 to 12 monthly payments, and manages these loans on a collective basis based on similar risk characteristics. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the portfolio has an amortized cost basis of $62,517,673 and $51,525,950, respectively. Repayment terms are structured such that the contracts will be repaid within the term of the underlying insurance policy, generally less than one year. The contracts are secured by the unearned premium of the insurance carrier which is obligated to pay the Company any unearned premium in the event the insurance policy is cancelled pursuant to a power of attorney contained in the finance contract. As of September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the amount of unearned premium on open and cancelled contracts totaled $85,872,295 and $71,315,354, respectively. The annual percentage interest rates on new contracts averaged approximately 16.8% and 15.6% during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The carrying amount of the Premium Finance Contracts (“Contracts”) is reduced by an allowance for credit losses that are maintained at a level which, in management’s judgment, is adequate to absorb credit losses inherent in the Contracts. The amount of the allowance is based upon management’s evaluation of the collectability of the Contracts, including the nature of the accounts, credit concentration, trends, historical data, specific impaired Contracts, current and forecasted economic conditions, and other risks inherent in the Contracts. The allowance is increased by a provision for credit losses, which is charged to expense, and reduced by charge-offs, net of recovery.

To estimate expected credit losses on loans that exhibit similar risk characteristics, the Company considers historical loss information (updated for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the expected collectability of the amortized cost basis pool) using a loss-rate approach. The Company monitors the A.M. Best rating for insurance carriers whose policies are being financed as a factor of the quality of its contract receivables. As of September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the Company did not expect any material degradation to the ratings of the insurance carriers it currently underwrites or anticipates underwriting in a way that would affect the allowance for credit losses.

In addition, specific allowances are established for accounts over 120 days. Individual contracts are written off against the allowance when collection of the individual contracts appears doubtful. The collectability of outstanding and cancelled contracts is generally secured by collateral in the form of the unearned premiums on the underlying policies. The collectability of amounts due from agents is determined by the financial strength of the agency.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Furniture and equipment 5 - 7 years

Computer equipment and software 3 - 5 years

Leasehold improvements 10 years

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include assumptions used in valuation of deferred tax assets, allowance for doubtful accounts, depreciable lives of property and equipment, and valuation of stock-based compensation.

Concentration of Credit and Financial Instrument Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash and loans receivable from customers, agents, and insurance companies. The Company maintains its cash balances at two banks. Accounts at these financial institutions are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. Uninsured balances are $97,117 and $482,479 at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The Company mitigates this risk by maintaining its cash balances at high-quality financial institutions. The following table provides a reconciliation between uninsured balances and cash per the balance sheet:

	September 30, 2023 (unaudited)			December 31, 2022
Uninsured Balance	$	97,117		$	482,479
Plus: Insured balances		250,000			250,000
Plus: Balances at institutions that do not exceed FDIC limit		82,318			17,758
Less: Outstanding checks		(463,825	)		(329,026	)
Cash (overdraft) per Consolidated Balance Sheet	$	(34,390	)	$	421,211

The Company controls its credit risk in accounts receivable through credit standards, limits on exposure, by monitoring the financial condition of insurance companies, by adhering to statutory cancellation policies, and by monitoring and pursuing collections from past due accounts. We cancel policies at the earliest permissible date allowed by the statutory cancellation regulations.

Approximately 61% and 57% of the Company’s business activity is with customers located in Florida for 2023 and 2022, respectively. Approximately 11% and 13% of the Company’s business activity is with customers located in Georgia for 2023 and 2022, respectively. Approximately 12% and 13% of the Company's business activity is with customers located in North Carolina for 2023 and 2022, respectively. There were no other significant regional, industrial or group concentrations during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

Amortization of Line of Credit Costs

Amortization of line of credit costs is computed using the straight-line method over the life of the loan.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s carrying amounts of financial instruments as defined by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 825, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, including premium finance contracts and related receivables, prepaid expenses, drafts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, approximate their fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments. The fair value of the line of credit and notes payable are based on current rates at which the Company can borrow funds with similar remaining maturities and the carrying value approximates fair value.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes is computed using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and for operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates that apply to taxable income in effect for the years in which those tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.

Uncertain tax positions are recognized only when the Company believes it is more likely than not that the tax position will be upheld on examination by the taxing authorities based on the merits of the position. The Company has no material unrecognized tax benefits and no adjustments to its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows were required as of September 30, 2023.

Tax returns are open to examination by taxing authorities for three years after filing. No income tax returns are currently under examination by taxing authorities. SPFMC and SPFH recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. SPFMC and SPFH did not have any accrued interest or penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC Topic No. 718, “Stock Compensation,” which establishes the requirements for expensing equity awards. The Company measures and recognizes as compensation expense the fair value of all share-based payment awards based on estimated grant date fair values. Our stock-based compensation is issuances made to directors, executives, employees and consultants, which includes employee stock options related to our 2019 Equity

Incentive Plan and stock warrants. The determination of fair value involves a number of significant estimates. We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the value of employee stock options and stock warrants which requires a number of assumptions to determine the model inputs. These include the expected volatility of our stock and employee exercise behavior which are based expectations of future developments over the term of the option.

Earnings per Common Share

The Corporation accounts for earnings (loss) per share in accordance with FASB ASC Topic No. 260 - 10, “Earnings Per Share”, which establishes the requirements for presenting earnings per share (“EPS”). FASB ASC Topic No. 260 - 10 requires the presentation of “basic” and “diluted” EPS on the face of the statement of operations. Basic EPS amounts are calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted EPS assumes the exercise of all stock options, warrants and convertible securities having exercise prices less than the average market price of the common stock during the periods, using the treasury stock method.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, stock options to purchase 207,400 and 207,400 shares of common stock were outstanding, respectively, as described in Note 11. 93,700 of these options vested on March 1, 2021, 93,700 stock options vested on March 1, 2022, 10,000 stock options vested on June 29, 2023, and the remaining 10,000 stock options vest on June 29, 2024. The 197,400 vested stock options are considered dilutive and included in the calculation of diluted EPS at September 30, 2023 and 2022.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, stock warrants to purchase 1,035,000 and 1,035,000 shares of common stock were outstanding, respectively, as described in Note 11. All the stock warrants vested immediately. 635,000 warrants are considered dilutive and included in the calculation of diluted EPS and the remaining 400,000 warrants are “out-of-the-money” and excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS as of September 30, 2023 and 2022.

Leases

The Company recognizes and measures its leases in accordance with ASC Topic 842, “Leases”. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease, or contains a lease, at inception of a contract and when the terms of an existing contract are changed. The Company recognizes a lease liability and a right of use (ROU) asset at the commencement date of the lease. The lease liability is initially and subsequently recognized based on the present value of its future lease payments calculated using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) - Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts on an Entity’s Own Equity. The ASU simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP.

Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more equity contracts to qualify for the exceptions. The ASU also simplifies the diluted net income per share calculation in certain areas. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not anticipate any impact on the consolidated financial statements from the adoption of the standard.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments," which replaces the existing "incurred loss" model for recognizing credit losses with an "expected loss" model referred to as the CECL model. Under the CECL model, the Company is required to present certain financial assets carried at amortized cost, such as insurance premium finance loans held for investment, at the net amount expected to be collected. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. The Company adopted this standard in the first fiscal quarter of 2023. There has been no impact on current earnings due to the adoption of this standard.

Cash Surrender Value of Life Insurance

The Company is the owner and beneficiary of a life insurance policy on its president. The cash surrender value relative to the policy in place at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $642,274 and $603,816, respectively.

Premium Finance Contracts and Related Receivable represent monthly payments due on insurance premium finance contracts. The Company finances insurance policies over periods from three months to one year for businesses and consumers who make an initial down payment of, on average, 25 percent of the insurance policy amounts. The entire amount of the contract is recorded including amounts due for finance charges and services charges. These receivables are reported net of unearned interest for financial statements purposes. Amounts due from agents represent balances related to (1) an agent’s unearned commission due to a policy cancellation and (2) down payments collected by the agents on behalf of the insured, which are due to us. Receivables from insurance premium finance contracts cancelled are due from the insurance companies.

The loan agreement also provides for certain covenants such as audited financial statements, notice of change of control, budget, permission for any new debt, and copies of filings with regulatory bodies. In November 2023, the Company executed an amendment of the loan agreement, which provided a waiver of default as of September 30, 2023.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

9 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2023

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements (unaudited), which include the accounts of Standard Premium Finance Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements that would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements of Standard Premium Finance Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, have been omitted.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Cash Overdraft

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Cash Overdraft

The Company considers short-term interest-bearing investments with initial maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. There are no cash equivalents at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

The Company experienced a cash overdraft of $34,390 in its primary group of bank accounts as of September 30, 2023. As this group of bank accounts is funded by the Company’s line of credit (see Note 7), overdrafts are an expected part of the cash cycle. The Company is not charged any fees for overdrafts as the line of credit funds the operating accounts daily. The Company actively manages its cash balances to minimize avoidable interest charges.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

Finance charges on insurance premium installment contracts are initially recorded as unearned interest and are credited to income monthly over the term of the finance agreement. For Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and Texas contracts, an initial origination fee of $20 per contract and the first month’s interest are recognized as income at the inception of a contract. The same treatment is applied to the $15 initial origination fee and first month’s interest in South Carolina. The origination fee can only be charged once to an insured in a twelve-month period. In accordance with industry practice, finance charges are recognized as income using the “Rule of 78s” method of amortizing finance charge income, which does not materially differ from the interest method of amortizing finance charge income on short term receivables. Late charges

are recognized as income when charged. Unearned interest is netted against Premium Finance Contracts and Related Receivables on the balance sheet for reporting purposes.

The provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) provide guidance on the recognition, presentation, and disclosure of revenue in financial statements. ASC 606 outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provides guidance for disclosure related to revenue recognition policies. ASC 606 requires revenue to be recognized upon transfer of control of promised services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for services that are distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. In such cases, revenue would be recognized at the time of delivery or over time for each performance of service. However, ASC 606 exempts items under ASC 835-30 and ASC 310-20 (i.e., finance charges, late charges and origination fee income for the Company).

Premium Finance Contracts and Related Receivable

Premium Finance Contracts and Related Receivable

The Company finances insurance premiums on policies primarily for commercial enterprises. The Company amortizes these loans over the term of each contract, which varies from 3 to 12 monthly payments, and manages these loans on a collective basis based on similar risk characteristics. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the portfolio has an amortized cost basis of $62,517,673 and $51,525,950, respectively. Repayment terms are structured such that the contracts will be repaid within the term of the underlying insurance policy, generally less than one year. The contracts are secured by the unearned premium of the insurance carrier which is obligated to pay the Company any unearned premium in the event the insurance policy is cancelled pursuant to a power of attorney contained in the finance contract. As of September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the amount of unearned premium on open and cancelled contracts totaled $85,872,295 and $71,315,354, respectively. The annual percentage interest rates on new contracts averaged approximately 16.8% and 15.6% during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Allowance for Credit Losses

Allowance for Credit Losses

The carrying amount of the Premium Finance Contracts (“Contracts”) is reduced by an allowance for credit losses that are maintained at a level which, in management’s judgment, is adequate to absorb credit losses inherent in the Contracts. The amount of the allowance is based upon management’s evaluation of the collectability of the Contracts, including the nature of the accounts, credit concentration, trends, historical data, specific impaired Contracts, current and forecasted economic conditions, and other risks inherent in the Contracts. The allowance is increased by a provision for credit losses, which is charged to expense, and reduced by charge-offs, net of recovery.

To estimate expected credit losses on loans that exhibit similar risk characteristics, the Company considers historical loss information (updated for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the expected collectability of the amortized cost basis pool) using a loss-rate approach. The Company monitors the A.M. Best rating for insurance carriers whose policies are being financed as a factor of the quality of its contract receivables. As of September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the Company did not expect any material degradation to the ratings of the insurance carriers it currently underwrites or anticipates underwriting in a way that would affect the allowance for credit losses.

In addition, specific allowances are established for accounts over 120 days. Individual contracts are written off against the allowance when collection of the individual contracts appears doubtful. The collectability of outstanding and cancelled contracts is generally secured by collateral in the form of the unearned premiums on the underlying policies. The collectability of amounts due from agents is determined by the financial strength of the agency.

Property and Equipment

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Furniture and equipment 5 - 7 years

Computer equipment and software 3 - 5 years

Leasehold improvements 10 years

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include assumptions used in valuation of deferred tax assets, allowance for doubtful accounts, depreciable lives of property and equipment, and valuation of stock-based compensation.

Concentration of Credit and Financial Instrument Risk

Concentration of Credit and Financial Instrument Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash and loans receivable from customers, agents, and insurance companies. The Company maintains its cash balances at two banks. Accounts at these financial institutions are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. Uninsured balances are $97,117 and $482,479 at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The Company mitigates this risk by maintaining its cash balances at high-quality financial institutions. The following table provides a reconciliation between uninsured balances and cash per the balance sheet:

	September 30, 2023 (unaudited)			December 31, 2022
Uninsured Balance	$	97,117		$	482,479
Plus: Insured balances		250,000			250,000
Plus: Balances at institutions that do not exceed FDIC limit		82,318			17,758
Less: Outstanding checks		(463,825	)		(329,026	)
Cash (overdraft) per Consolidated Balance Sheet	$	(34,390	)	$	421,211

The Company controls its credit risk in accounts receivable through credit standards, limits on exposure, by monitoring the financial condition of insurance companies, by adhering to statutory cancellation policies, and by monitoring and pursuing collections from past due accounts. We cancel policies at the earliest permissible date allowed by the statutory cancellation regulations.

Approximately 61% and 57% of the Company’s business activity is with customers located in Florida for 2023 and 2022, respectively. Approximately 11% and 13% of the Company’s business activity is with customers located in Georgia for 2023 and 2022, respectively. Approximately 12% and 13% of the Company's business activity is with customers located in North Carolina for 2023 and 2022, respectively. There were no other significant regional, industrial or group concentrations during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

Amortization of Line of Credit Costs

Amortization of Line of Credit Costs

Amortization of line of credit costs is computed using the straight-line method over the life of the loan.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s carrying amounts of financial instruments as defined by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 825, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, including premium finance contracts and related receivables, prepaid expenses, drafts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, approximate their fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments. The fair value of the line of credit and notes payable are based on current rates at which the Company can borrow funds with similar remaining maturities and the carrying value approximates fair value.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes is computed using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and for operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates that apply to taxable income in effect for the years in which those tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.

Uncertain tax positions are recognized only when the Company believes it is more likely than not that the tax position will be upheld on examination by the taxing authorities based on the merits of the position. The Company has no material unrecognized tax benefits and no adjustments to its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows were required as of September 30, 2023.

Tax returns are open to examination by taxing authorities for three years after filing. No income tax returns are currently under examination by taxing authorities. SPFMC and SPFH recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. SPFMC and SPFH did not have any accrued interest or penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC Topic No. 718, “Stock Compensation,” which establishes the requirements for expensing equity awards. The Company measures and recognizes as compensation expense the fair value of all share-based payment awards based on estimated grant date fair values. Our stock-based compensation is issuances made to directors, executives, employees and consultants, which includes employee stock options related to our 2019 Equity

Incentive Plan and stock warrants. The determination of fair value involves a number of significant estimates. We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the value of employee stock options and stock warrants which requires a number of assumptions to determine the model inputs. These include the expected volatility of our stock and employee exercise behavior which are based expectations of future developments over the term of the option.

Earnings per Common Share

Earnings per Common Share

The Corporation accounts for earnings (loss) per share in accordance with FASB ASC Topic No. 260 - 10, “Earnings Per Share”, which establishes the requirements for presenting earnings per share (“EPS”). FASB ASC Topic No. 260 - 10 requires the presentation of “basic” and “diluted” EPS on the face of the statement of operations. Basic EPS amounts are calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted EPS assumes the exercise of all stock options, warrants and convertible securities having exercise prices less than the average market price of the common stock during the periods, using the treasury stock method.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, stock options to purchase 207,400 and 207,400 shares of common stock were outstanding, respectively, as described in Note 11. 93,700 of these options vested on March 1, 2021, 93,700 stock options vested on March 1, 2022, 10,000 stock options vested on June 29, 2023, and the remaining 10,000 stock options vest on June 29, 2024. The 197,400 vested stock options are considered dilutive and included in the calculation of diluted EPS at September 30, 2023 and 2022.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, stock warrants to purchase 1,035,000 and 1,035,000 shares of common stock were outstanding, respectively, as described in Note 11. All the stock warrants vested immediately. 635,000 warrants are considered dilutive and included in the calculation of diluted EPS and the remaining 400,000 warrants are “out-of-the-money” and excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS as of September 30, 2023 and 2022.

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock can be converted to common stock at 80% of the prevailing market price over the previous 30-day period at the option of the Company. This preferred stock is anti-dilutive as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and excluded from diluted earnings per share.

Leases

Leases

The Company recognizes and measures its leases in accordance with ASC Topic 842, “Leases”. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease, or contains a lease, at inception of a contract and when the terms of an existing contract are changed. The Company recognizes a lease liability and a right of use (ROU) asset at the commencement date of the lease. The lease liability is initially and subsequently recognized based on the present value of its future lease payments calculated using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) - Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts on an Entity’s Own Equity. The ASU simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP.

Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more equity contracts to qualify for the exceptions. The ASU also simplifies the diluted net income per share calculation in certain areas. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not anticipate any impact on the consolidated financial statements from the adoption of the standard.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments," which replaces the existing "incurred loss" model for recognizing credit losses with an "expected loss" model referred to as the CECL model. Under the CECL model, the Company is required to present certain financial assets carried at amortized cost, such as insurance premium finance loans held for investment, at the net amount expected to be collected. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. The Company adopted this standard in the first fiscal quarter of 2023. There has been no impact on current earnings due to the adoption of this standard.

Cash Surrender Value of Life Insurance

Cash Surrender Value of Life Insurance

The Company is the owner and beneficiary of a life insurance policy on its president. The cash surrender value relative to the policy in place at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $642,274 and $603,816, respectively.
