A. Nature of Business
MicroFinancial Incorporated (referred to as MicroFinancial, we, us or our) operates
primarily through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, TimePayment Corp. (TimePayment) and Leasecomm
Corporation (LeaseComm). TimePayment is a specialized commercial finance company that leases and
rents microticket equipment and provides other financing services. The average amount financed
by TimePayment during 2009 was approximately $5,500 compared to the 2010 year to date average of
$5,700. Leasecomm historically financed contracts of approximately $1,900. We primarily source our
originations through a nationwide network of independent equipment vendors, sales organizations,
brokers and other dealer-based origination networks. We fund our operations through cash provided
by operating activities and borrowings under our revolving line of credit.
B. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial statements.
Accordingly, our interim statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required
for our annual financial statements. In the opinion of our management, the condensed consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments,
considered necessary for a fair presentation of these interim results. These financial statements
should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes included in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. The results for the six months
ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full
year ending December 31, 2010.
The balance sheet at December 31, 2009 has been derived from the audited financial statements
included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
Allowance for Credit Losses
We maintain an allowance for credit losses on our investment in leases, service contracts and
rental contracts at an amount that we believe is sufficient to provide adequate protection against
losses in our portfolio. Given the nature of the microticket market and the individual size of
each transaction, the business does not warrant the creation of a formal credit review committee to
review individual transactions. As a result of approving a wide range of credits, we experience a
relatively high level of delinquency and write-offs in our portfolio. We periodically review the
credit scoring and approval process to ensure that the automated system is making appropriate
credit decisions. Given the nature of the microticket market and the individual size of each
transaction, we do not evaluate transactions individually for the purpose of determining the
adequacy of the allowance for credit losses. Contracts in our portfolio are not re-graded
subsequent to the initial extension of credit and the allowance is not allocated to specific
contracts. Rather, we view the contracts as having common characteristics and maintain a general
allowance against our entire portfolio utilizing historical collection statistics and an assessment
of current credit risk in the portfolio as the basis for the amount.
We have adopted a consistent, systematic procedure for establishing and maintaining an
appropriate allowance for credit losses for our microticket transactions. We estimate the
likelihood of credit losses net of recoveries in the portfolio at each reporting period based upon
a combination of the lessees bureau reported credit score at lease inception and the current
delinquency status of the account. In addition to these elements, we also consider other relevant
factors including general economic trends, trends in delinquencies and credit losses, static pool
analyses of our portfolio, trends in recoveries made on charged off accounts, and other relevant
factors which might affect the performance of our portfolio. This combination of historical
experience, credit scores, delinquency levels, trends in credit losses, and the review of current
factors provide the basis for our analysis of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses. We
charge-off our receivables when such receivables are deemed uncollectible. In general, a
receivable is deemed uncollectible when it is 360 days past due or earlier when other adverse
events occur with respect to an account. Historically, the typical monthly payment under our
microticket leases has been small and as a result, our experience is that lessees will pay past due
amounts later in the process because of the small amount necessary to bring an account current.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
For financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts
payable, the revolving line of credit, and other liabilities, we believe that the carrying amount
approximates fair value. The fair value of the revolving line of credit is calculated based on
incremental borrowing rates currently available on loans with similar terms and maturities. Due to
the short-term nature of our revolving line of credit, the fair value of our revolving line of
credit at June 30, 2010 approximates its carrying value. The fair value of the revolving line of
credit is calculated based on incremental borrowing rates currently available on loans with similar
terms and maturities.
Net Income Per Share
Basic net income per common share is computed based on the weighted-average number of common
shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share gives effect to all
potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted net
income per share does not assume the issuance of common shares that have an antidilutive effect on
net income per common share. For the three months ended June 30, 2010, 499,305 options were
excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share because their effect was
antidilutive. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, 849,305 options were excluded from the
computation of diluted net income per share because their effect was antidilutive. For the three
and six months ended June 30, 2009, 1,108,028 options were excluded from the computation of diluted
net income per share because their effect was antidilutive.

Stock-Based Employee Compensation
Under our 2008 Equity Incentive Plan, we reserved 1,000,000 shares of common stock for
issuance. In February 2010, under our 2008 Equity Incentive Plan the Compensation and Benefits
Committee of our Board of Directors granted 33,518 restricted stock units to our executive
officers. The restricted stock units vest over five years at 25% annually beginning on the second
anniversary of the grant date. The restricted stock units were valued on the date of grant and the
fair value of these awards was $3.15 per share.
In February 2009, under our 2008 Equity Incentive Plan, we granted 10 year options to our
executive officers to purchase 321,058 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.30 per
share. The fair value of these awards was $0.55 per share. The options were valued at the date of
grant using the following assumptions: expected life in years of 6.50, annualized volatility of
55.54%, expected dividend yield of 8.70%, and a riskfree interest rate of 2.28%. The options
vest over five years beginning on the second anniversary of the grant date.
During the six months ended June 30, 2010, 350,000 options originally granted to members of
the Board of Directors in February 2000 expired. During the six months ended June 30, 2009,
400,000 options originally granted to members of the Board of Directors in February of 1999
expired. In addition, 105,097 options granted to the former VP of Sales were forfeited upon his
last date of employment in May 2009.

In February 2010, we granted our non-employee directors a total of 53,844 shares of stock
with immediate vesting and a fair value of $3.15 per share in accordance with our director
compensation policy.
Director John Everets was appointed to the Board as a non employee director on August 15,
2006. In connection with his appointment he was granted 25,000 shares of restricted stock which
vested 20% upon grant and 5% on the first day of each quarter subsequent to the grant date. The
restricted share fair value was $3.35 per share. The compensation expense associated with the
grant is recognized as vesting occurs. As of June 30, 2010, 1,250 restricted shares remain
unvested under Mr. Everets grant.

During the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the total share based employee
compensation cost recognized was $32,000 and $4,000, respectively. During the six months ended
June 30, 2010 and 2009, the total share based compensation cost recognized was $62,000 and $34,000,
respectively. For the period ended June 30, 2009, approximately $23,000 of previously recognized
employee compensation cost was reversed in connection with 105,097 options which were forfeited
during the period. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, 350,000 options expired. There were
no options granted or exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2010.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly liquid instruments purchased with original maturities of less than
three months to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair
value.
Concentration of Credit Risk
We deposit our cash and invest in short-term investments primarily through national commercial
banks. Deposits in excess of amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)
are exposed to loss in the event of nonperformance by the institution. The Company maintains cash
deposits in excess of the FDIC insurance coverage.
C. Revolving line of credit
On August 2, 2007, we entered into a three-year revolving line of credit with Sovereign Bank
(Sovereign) based on qualified TimePayment lease receivables. The total commitment under the
facility was originally $30 million, and was subsequently increased to $60 million in July 2008, to
$85 million in February 2009, and most recently to $100 million in connection with a July 28, 2010
amendment. Outstanding borrowings are collateralized by eligible lease contracts and a security
interest in all of our other assets and, as of June 30, 2010, bore interest at Prime plus 1.75% or
at a London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 3.75%, in each case subject to a minimum rate of
5.00%. Following the July 28, 2010 amendment, outstanding borrowings bear interest at Prime plus
1.25% or LIBOR plus 3.25%, without being subject to any minimum rate. Under the terms of the
facility, loans are Prime Rate Loans, unless we elect LIBOR Loans. If a LIBOR Loan is not renewed
at maturity it automatically converts to a Prime Rate Loan. At June 30, 2010 and 2009 all of our
loans were Prime Rate Loans. The interest rate on our revolving line of credit was 5.00% at June
30, 2010. The amount available on our revolving line of credit at June 30, 2010 (prior to the
increase in the commitment under the July 28, 2010 amendment) was $26.0 million. The revolving
line of credit has financial covenants that we must comply with to obtain funding and avoid an
event of default. As of June 30, 2010, we were in compliance with all covenants under the
revolving line of credit.
As a part of the July 28, 2010 amendment, the maturity date of the facility was extended to
August 2, 2013. At our option, upon maturity, the unpaid principal balance may be converted to a six-month term
loan.

D. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Matters
We are involved from time to time in litigation incidental to the conduct of our business.
Although we do not expect that the outcome of any of these matters, individually or collectively,
will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations, litigation
is inherently unpredictable. Therefore, judgments could be rendered, or settlements entered, that
could adversely affect our operating results or cash flows in a particular period. We routinely
assess all of our litigation and threatened litigation as to the probability of ultimately
incurring a liability, and record our best estimate of the ultimate loss in situations where we
access the likelihood of loss as probable.
Lease Commitments
We accept lease applications on a daily basis and, as a result, we have a pipeline of
applications that have been approved, where a lease has not been originated. Our commitment to
lend does not become binding until all of the steps in the lease origination process have been
completed, including the receipt of the lease, supporting documentation and verification with the
lessee. Since we fund on the same day a lease is verified, we do not have any outstanding
commitments to lend.
Dividends
On July 19, 2010, we declared a dividend of $0.05 payable on August 13, 2010 to shareholders
of record on July 29, 2010.
E. Subsequent Events
On August 10, 2010, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 250,000 shares
of our common stock. The timing and amount of any repurchase will be determined by management
based on its evaluation of market conditions and other factors. Any repurchased share will be
available for use in connection with future stock issuances. The repurchase program will be funded
by our working capital and may be suspended or discontinued at anytime.
We have evaluated all events or transactions that occurred through the date on which we issued
these financial statements. Other than the declaration of dividends, amendment of the revolving line of credit and stock repurchase program, as previously discussed, we did not have any material subsequent events that impacted our consolidated financial statements.
F. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets an amendment
of FASB Statement No. 140 (SFAS 166), codified as FASB Accounting Standard Codification (ASC)
860 Transfers and Servicing. This topic requires entities to provide more information regarding
sales of securitized financial assets and similar transactions, particularly if the entity has
continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. FASB ASC 860 eliminates
the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity, changes the requirements for derecognizing
financial assets and requires additional disclosures. FASB ASC 860 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2009. The adoption of the new content of FASB ASC 860 did not have an
impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)
(SFAS 167), codified as FASB ASC 810-10 Consolidation. This topic modifies how a company
determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting
(or similar rights) should be consolidated. FASB ASC 810-10 clarifies that the determination of
whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, an entitys
purpose and design and a companys ability to direct the activities of the entity that most
significantly impact the entitys economic performance. FASB ASC 810-10 requires an ongoing

reassessment of whether a company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity.
FASB ASC 810-10 also requires additional disclosures about a companys involvement in variable
interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement. FASB ASC
810-10 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The adoption of the new
content of FASB ASC 810-10 did not have an impact on our consolidated financial position or results
of operations.
In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2010-06, Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures. This update provides amendments to FASB 820-10 Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures that require new disclosures as follows:
|
1. |
|
Transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2. A reporting entry should disclose
separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair
value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers. |
|
|
2. |
|
Activity in level 3 fair value measurements |
|
|
3. |
|
A reporting entity should provide fair value measurement disclosures for each
class of assets and liabilities. |
In the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level
3), a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and
settlements (that is, on a gross basis rather than as one net number). The new disclosures and
clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods
beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances,
and settlements in the rollforward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those
disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim
periods within those fiscal years. Management is currently evaluating this ASU to determine if it will have a material impact on our future financial statements.
In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-20 Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing
Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses. This guidance expands the disclosures pertaining
to the credit quality of loans and should provide users of the financial statements with a better
overall understanding of the credit risk in the loan portfolio. This guidance is effective for
interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2010. Management is currently evaluating the requirement of this ASU and will include the additional disclosures upon adoption.

ITEM 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Introduction
The following information should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report and with
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in
our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
Forward-Looking Information
Statements in this document that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements made
pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In
addition, words such as believes, anticipates, expects, and similar expressions are intended
to identify forward-looking statements. We caution that a number of important factors could cause
actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by
us or on our behalf. Such statements contain a number of risks and uncertainties, including but not
limited to: our need for financing in order to originate leases and contracts; our demand for the
equipment types we offer, expansion into new markets and the development of a sizable dealer base;
our significant capital requirements; risks associated with economic downturns; risks of defaults
in our leases and the adequacy of our provision for credit losses; higher interest rates; intense
competition; changes in our regulatory environment; the availability of qualified personnel, and
risks associated with acquisitions. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking
statements, which reflect our view only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to
publicly revise these forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances. We
cannot assure that we will be able to anticipate or respond timely to changes which could adversely
affect our operating results. Results of operations in any past period should not be considered
indicative of results to be expected in future periods. Fluctuations in operating results may
result in fluctuations in the price of our common stock. Statements relating to past dividend
payments or our current dividend policy should not be construed as a guarantee that any future
dividends will be paid. For a more complete description of the prominent risks and uncertainties
inherent in our business, see the risk factors included in our most recent Annual Report on Form
10-K and other documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Overview
We are a specialized commercial finance company that provides microticket equipment leasing
and other financing services. The average amount financed by TimePayment during 2009 was
approximately $5,500 compared to the 2010 year to date average of $5,700. Leasecomm historically
financed contracts of approximately $1,900. Our existing portfolio consists of business equipment
leased or rented primarily to small commercial enterprises.
We finance the funding of our leases and contracts primarily through cash provided by
operating activities and our revolving line of credit. On August 2, 2007, we entered into a
three-year line of credit with Sovereign Bank based on qualified TimePayment lease receivables.
The total commitment under the facility was originally $30 million, and was subsequently increased
to $60 million in July 2008, to $85 million in February 2009, and most recently to $100 million in
connection with a July 28, 2010 amendment. Outstanding borrowings are collateralized by eligible
lease contracts and a security interest in all of our other assets. Prior to the July 2010
amendment, outstanding borrowings bore interest at Prime plus 1.75% or at LIBOR plus 3.75%, in each
case subject to a minimum rate of 5%. Following the July 2010 amendment, outstanding borrowings
bear interest at either Prime plus 1.25% or LIBOR plus 3.25%, without being subject to any minimum
rate. Under the terms of the facility, loans are Prime Rate Loans, unless we elect LIBOR Loans.
If a LIBOR Loan is not renewed at maturity it automatically coverts to a Prime Rate Loan. The July
2010 amendment extended the maturity date of the facility to August 2, 2013. At our option, upon maturity, the
unpaid principal balance may be converted to a six-month term loan.
In a typical lease transaction, we originate a lease through our nationwide network of
equipment vendors, independent sales organizations and brokers. Upon our approval of a lease
application and verification that the lessee has received the equipment and signed the lease, we
pay the dealer for the cost of the equipment, plus the dealers profit margin.
13
Substantially all leases originated or acquired by us are non-cancelable. During the term of
the lease, we are scheduled to receive payments sufficient to cover our borrowing costs and the
cost of the underlying equipment and provide us with an appropriate profit. We pass along some of
the costs of our leases and contracts by charging late fees, prepayment penalties, loss and damage
waiver fees and other service fees, when applicable. Collection fees are imposed based on our
estimate of the costs of collection. The loss and damage waiver fees are charged if a customer
fails to provide proof of insurance and are reasonably related to the cost of replacing the lost or
damaged equipment or product. The initial non-cancelable term of the lease is equal to or less than
the equipments estimated economic life and often provides us with additional revenues based on the
residual value of the equipment at the end of the lease. Initial terms of the leases in our
portfolio generally range from 12 to 60 months, with an average initial term of 44 months as of
December 31, 2009.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note B to the condensed
consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report and in Note B to the
consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2009 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain accounting policies
are particularly important to the portrayal of our consolidated financial position and results of
operations. These policies require the application of significant judgment by us and as a result,
are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. In applying these policies, we make estimates
and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and
the related disclosures. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience, terms of
existing contracts, observance of trends in the industry, information obtained from dealers and
other sources, and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable and appropriate
under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the
carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual
results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Our critical accounting policies, including revenue recognition, maintaining the allowance for
credit losses, determining provisions for income taxes, and accounting for share-based compensation
are each discussed in more detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. We have reviewed those
policies and determined that they remain our critical accounting policies and that we did not make
any changes in those policies during the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Our lease contracts are accounted for as financing leases. At origination, we record the
gross lease receivable, the estimated residual value of the leased equipment, initial direct costs
incurred and the unearned lease income. Unearned lease income is the amount by which the gross
lease receivable plus the estimated residual value exceeds the cost of the equipment. Unearned
lease income and initial direct costs incurred are amortized over the related lease term using the
interest method. Other revenues such as loss and damage waiver fees, service fees relating to the
leases and contracts, and rental revenues are recognized as they are earned.
Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2010 were $12.6 million, an increase of
$1.5 million, or 13.4%, from the three months ended June 30, 2009. The overall increase was due to
an increase of $1.4 million in
14
income on financing leases, an increase of $0.3 million in fees and other income, partially
offset by a decrease of $0.2 million in rental income, and a decrease of $43,000 in income on
service contracts. The increase in income on financing leases is a result of the continued growth
in new lease originations. The decline in rental income is the result of the attrition of Leasecomm
rental contracts which is partially offset by TimePayment lease contracts coming to term and
converting to rentals. Service contact revenue continues to decline since we have not funded any
new service contracts since 2004.

Our selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses include costs of maintaining
corporate functions including accounting, finance, collections, legal, human resources, sales and
underwriting, and information systems. SG&A expenses also include service fees and other marketing
costs associated with our portfolio of leases and rental contracts. SG&A expenses increased by
$89,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to the three months ended June 30,
2009. The increase was primarily driven by increases in compensation expense of $51,000 and
contracted labor of $82,000, offset by a $111,000 decrease in marketing expenses due to the
elimination of certain programs. The increase in compensation related expenses is the result of an
increase in the number of employees. The number of employees as of June 30, 2010 was 113 compared
to 106 as of June 30, 2009.

We maintain an allowance for credit losses on our investment in leases, service contracts
and rental contracts at an amount that we believe is sufficient to provide adequate protection
against losses in our portfolio. Our provision for credit losses increased by $0.6 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009, while net
charge-offs increased by 40.9% to $5.9 million. The provision is based on providing a general
allowance on leases funded during the period and our analysis of actual and expected losses in our
portfolio. The increase in the allowance reflects the growth in lease receivables associated with
new lease originations, charge off levels, and the current economic conditions.

Depreciation and amortization expense consists of depreciation on fixed assets and rental
equipment, and the amortization of service contracts. Fixed assets are recorded at cost and
depreciated over their expected useful lives. Certain rental contracts are originated as a result
of the renewal provisions of our lease agreements where at the end of lease term, the customer may
elect to continue to rent the leased equipment on a month-to-month basis. The rental equipment is
recorded at its residual value and depreciated over a term of 12 months. This term represents the
estimated life of a previously leased piece of equipment and is based upon our historical
experience. In the event the contract terminates prior to the end of the 12 month period, the
remaining net book value is expensed.
15
Depreciation expense on rental contracts increased by $94,000 and amortization of service
contracts decreased by $9,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to the three
months ended June 30, 2009. The increase in depreciation is primarily due to the increase in the
number of TimePayment lease contracts coming to maturity and converting to rentals. Depreciation
and amortization of property and equipment increased by $6,000 for the three months ended June 30,
2010, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009.
Service contracts are recorded at cost and amortized over their estimated life of 84 months.
We have not originated any new service contracts since 2004 and the service portfolio is fully
amortized.

We pay interest on borrowings under our senior credit facility. Interest expense
increased by $224,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to the three months
ended June 30, 2009. This increase resulted primarily from our increased level of borrowings. At
June 30, 2010, we had notes payable under our line of credit of $59.0 million compared to notes
payable of $41.0 million at June 30, 2009.

The provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities and any necessary
valuation allowance recorded against net deferred tax assets, involves summarizing temporary
differences resulting from the different treatment of items, such as leases, for tax and accounting
purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are recorded on
the balance sheet. We then assess the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be recovered from
future taxable income or tax carry-back availability and to the extent we believe recovery is more
likely than not, a valuation allowance is unnecessary. The provision for income taxes increased by
$202,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to the three months ended June 30,
2009. This increase resulted primarily from the $519,000 increase in pre-tax income and a slight
increase in the effective tax rate from 38.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 to 38.6% for
the three months ended June 30, 2010.
As of March 31, 2010, we had a liability of $35,000 for unrecognized tax benefits and a
liability of $12,000 for accrued interest and penalties related to various state income tax
matters. As of June 30, 2010 we had a liability of $25,000 for unrecognized tax benefits and a
liability of $10,000 for accrued interest and penalties. Of these amounts, approximately $23,000
would impact our effective tax rate after a $12,000 federal tax benefit for state income taxes.
The decrease in the unrecognized tax benefits relates to a $2,000 decrease in accrued interest
expense and a $10,000 decrease related to the completion of a state income tax audit. It is
reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits may change significantly
within the next 12 months; however at this time we are unable to estimate the change.
Our federal income tax returns are subject to examination for tax years ended on or after
December 31, 2006 and our state income tax returns are subject to examination for tax years ended
on or after December 31, 2005.
Other Operating Data
Dealer funding was $20.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $1.3
million or 6.8%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009. We continue to concentrate on
our business development efforts, which include increasing the size of our vendor base and sourcing
a larger number of applications from those
16
vendors. Receivables due in installments, estimated residual values, net investment in
service contracts and investment in rental contracts increased from $200.9 million at March 31,
2010 to $207.9 million at June 30, 2010. Net cash provided by operating activities increased by
$3.7 million, or 25.6%, to $17.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to
the three months ended June 30, 2009.

Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2010 were $24.9 million, an increase of $3.0
million, or 13.4%, from the six months ended June 30, 2009. The overall increase was due to an
increase of $2.7 million in income on financing leases, and a $0.8 million increase in fees and
other income, partially offset by a decrease of $0.5 million in rental income, a decrease of
$91,000 in service contracts and a decrease of $13,000 in interest income. The increase in income
on financing leases is a result of the continued growth in new lease originations. The decline in

We maintain an allowance for credit losses on our investment in leases, service contracts
and rental contracts at an amount that we believe is sufficient to provide adequate protection
against losses in our portfolio. Our provision for credit losses increased by $2.0 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009, while net
charge-offs increased by 49.2% to $12.9 million. The provision is based on providing a general allowance on leases funded during the period and our analysis of actual
and expected losses in
18
our portfolio. The increase in the allowance reflects the growth in lease
receivables associated with new lease originations, charge off levels, and the current economic
conditions.

Depreciation and amortization expense consists of depreciation on fixed assets and rental
equipment, and the amortization of service contracts. Fixed assets are recorded at cost and
depreciated over their expected useful lives. Certain rental contracts are originated as a result
of the renewal provisions of our lease agreements where at the end of lease term, the customer may
elect to continue to rent the leased equipment on a month-to-month basis. The rental equipment is
recorded at its residual value and depreciated over a term of 12 months. This term represents the
estimated life of a previously leased piece of equipment and is based upon our historical
experience. In the event the contract terminates prior to the end of the 12 month period, the
remaining net book value is expensed.
Depreciation expense on rental contracts increased by $192,000 and amortization of service
contracts decreased by $25,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to the six
months ended June 30, 2009. The increase in depreciation is due to the increase in the overall size
of our portfolio of rental equipment. Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment
increased by $17,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to the six months ended
June 30, 2009.
Service contracts are recorded at cost and amortized over their estimated life of 84 months.
We have not originated any new service contracts since 2004 and the service portfolio is now fully
amortized.

We pay interest on borrowings under our revolving line of credit. Interest expense
increased by $519,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to the six months ended
June 30, 2009. This increase resulted primarily from our increased level of borrowings on our line
of credit. At June 30, 2010, we had notes payable under our line of credit of $59.0 million
compared to notes payable of $41.0 million at June 30, 2009.

The provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities and any necessary
valuation allowance recorded against net deferred tax assets, involves summarizing temporary
differences resulting from the different treatment of items, such as leases, for tax and accounting
purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are recorded on
the balance sheet. We then assess the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income or tax carry-back availability and to the extent we
believe recovery is more likely than not, a valuation allowance is unnecessary. The provision for
income taxes increased by $177,000 for the
19
six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to the six
months ended June 30, 2009. This increase resulted primarily from the $456,000 increase in pre-tax
income.
As of December 31, 2009, we had a liability of $32,000 for unrecognized tax benefits and a
liability of $8,000 for accrued interest and penalties related to various state income tax matters.
As of June 30, 2010 we had a liability of $25,000 for unrecognized tax benefits and a liability of
$10,000 for accrued interest and penalties. Of these amounts, approximately $23,000 would impact
our effective tax rate after a $12,000 federal tax benefit for state income taxes. The decrease in
the unrecognized tax benefits relates to $2,000 in additional accrued interest expense less $10,000
related to the completion of a a state income tax audit. It is reasonably possible that the total
amount of unrecognized tax benefits may change significantly within the next 12 months; however at
this time we are unable to estimate the change.
Our federal income tax returns are subject to examination for tax years ended on or after
December 31, 2006 and our state income tax returns are subject to examination for tax years ended
on or after December 31, 2005.
Other Operating Data
Dealer funding was $39.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, an increase of $2.4
million or 6.5%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009. We continue to concentrate on our
business development efforts, which include increasing the size of our vendor base and sourcing a
larger number of applications from those vendors. Receivables due in installments, estimated
residual values, net investment in service contracts and investment in rental contracts increased
from $197.9 million at December 31, 2009 to $207.9 million at June 30, 2010. Net cash provided by
operating activities increased by $7.9 million, or 29.1%, to $35.0 million during the six months
ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009.
Exposure to Credit Losses
The amounts in the table below represent the balance of delinquent receivables on an exposure
basis for all leases, rental contracts, and service contracts in our portfolio. An exposure basis
aging classifies the entire receivable based on the invoice that is the most delinquent. For
example, in the case of a rental or service contract, if a receivable is 90 days past due, all
amounts billed and unpaid are placed in the over 90 days past due category. In the case of lease
receivables, where the minimum contractual obligation of the lessee is booked as a receivable at
the inception of the lease, if a receivable is 90 days past due, the entire receivable, including
all amounts billed and unpaid as well as the minimum contractual obligation yet to be billed, will
be placed in the over 90 days past due category.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
Our lease and finance business is capital-intensive and requires access to substantial
short-term and long-term credit to fund lease originations. Since inception, we have funded our
operations primarily through borrowings under our credit facilities, on-balance sheet
securitizations, the issuance of subordinated debt, free cash flow and our initial public offering
completed in February 1999. We will continue to require significant additional capital to maintain
and expand our funding of leases and contracts, as well as to fund any future acquisitions of leasing companies or portfolios. In the near term, we expect to finance our business utilizing the
cash on hand, free cash flow, and our line of credit which matures in August 2013. Additionally,
our uses of cash include the payment of
20
interest and principal on borrowings, selling, general and
administrative expenses, income taxes and capital expenditures.
For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and throughout 2009, our primary sources of liquidity
were cash provided by operating activities and borrowings on our revolving line of credit. We
generated cash flow from operations of $35.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010
compared to $27.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. At June 30, 2010, we had
approximately $59.0 million outstanding under our revolving line of credit facility and had
available borrowing capacity of approximately $26.0 million as described below.
We used net cash in investing activities of $39.5 million during the six months ended June 30,
2010 and $37.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Investing activities primarily
relate to the origination of leases.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $5.6 million for the six months ended June 30,
2010 and $6.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Financing activities primarily
consist of the borrowings and repayments under our revolving line of credit facility and dividend
payments.
Borrowings
We utilize our revolving line of credit to fund the origination and acquisition of leases that
satisfy the eligibility requirements established pursuant to the facility. Borrowings outstanding
consist of the following:

The unused capacity is subject to the borrowing base formula and does not
give effect to the increased capacity under the July 28, 2010 amendment described
below. |
On August 2, 2007, we entered into a three-year revolving line of credit with Sovereign
based on qualified lease receivables. The total commitment under the facility was originally $30
million, which was subsequently increased to $60 million in July 2008, to $85 million in February
2009, and most recently to $100 million in connection with a July 28, 2010 amendment. Outstanding
borrowings are collateralized by eligible lease contracts and a security interest in all of our
other assets. Prior to the July 2010 amendment, outstanding borrowings bore interest at Prime plus
1.75% or the 90-day LIBOR plus 3.75%, in each case subject to a minimum rate of 5%. Following the
July 2010 amendment, outstanding borrowings bear interest at Prime plus 1.25% or LIBOR plus 3.25%,
without being subject to any minimum rate. At June 30, 2010 all of our loans were Prime Rate
Loans. The interest rate on the revolving line of credit was 5.00% at June 30, 2010. As of June
30, 2010 the qualified lease receivables eligible under the borrowing base exceeded the $85 million
revolving line of credit. The revolving line of credit has financial covenants that we must comply
with to obtain funding and avoid an event of default. As of June 30, 2010, we were in compliance
with all covenants under the revolving line of credit. As part of the July 2010 amendment, the
maturity date of the facility was extended to August 2, 2013.
Dividends
On July 19, 2010, we declared a dividend of $0.05 payable on August 13, 2010 to shareholders
of record on July 29, 2010.
On January 22, 2010 we declared a dividend of $0.05 payable on February 15, 2010 to
shareholders of record on February 1, 2010. On April 20, 2010, we declared a dividend of $0.05
payable on May 14, 2010 to shareholders of record on May 3, 2010.
21
On July 14, 2009 we declared a dividend of $0.05 payable on August 14, 2009 to shareholders of
record on July 30, 2009. On April 16, 2009 we declared a dividend of $0.05 payable on May 8, 2009
to shareholders of record on April 30, 2009.
Future dividend payments are subject to ongoing review and evaluation by our Board of
Directors. The decision as to the amount and timing of future dividends, if any, will be made in
light of our financial condition, capital requirements and growth plans, as well as our external
financing arrangements and any other factors our Board of Directors may deem relevant. We can give
no assurance as to the amount and timing of future dividends.
Contractual Obligations and Lease Commitments
Contractual Obligations
We have entered into various agreements, such as debt and operating lease agreements, that
require future payments. For the six months ended June 30, 2010 we had borrowed $50.9 million
against our revolving line of credit and had repaid $43.8 million. The $59.0 million of
outstanding borrowings as of June 30, 2010 will be repaid by the daily application of TimePayment
receipts to our outstanding balance. Our future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable
operating leases is $119,000 through the year ended December 31, 2010.
Lease Commitments
We accept lease applications on a daily basis and have a pipeline of applications that have
been approved, where a lease has not been originated. Our commitment to lend does not become
binding until all of the steps in the lease origination process have been completed, including but
not limited to the receipt of a complete and accurate lease document, all required supporting
information and successful verification with the lessee. Since we fund on the same day a lease is
successfully verified, we have no firm outstanding commitments to lend.

ITEM 3. |
|
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk |
The following discussion about our risk management activities includes forward-looking
statements that involve risk and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those
projected in the forward-looking statements. In the normal course of operations, we also face risks
that are either non-financial or non-quantifiable. Such risks principally include credit risk and
legal risk, and are not represented in the analysis that follows.
The implicit yield on all of our leases and contracts is on a fixed interest rate basis due to
the leases and contracts having scheduled payments that are fixed at the time of origination. When
we originate or acquire leases or contracts, we base our pricing in part on the spread we expect to
achieve between the implicit yield on each lease or contract and the effective interest rate we
expect to incur in financing such lease or contract through our credit facility. Increases in
interest rates during the term of each lease or contract could narrow or eliminate the spread, or
result in a negative spread.
Given the relatively short average life of our leases and contracts, our goal is to maintain a
blend of fixed and variable interest rate obligations which limits our interest rate risk. As of
June 30, 2010, we have repaid all of our fixed-rate debt and have $59.0 million of outstanding
variable interest rate obligations under our revolving line of credit.
Our revolving line of credit bears interest at rates which fluctuate with changes in the Prime
Rate or LIBOR; therefore, our interest expense is sensitive to changes in market interest rates.
The effect of a 10% adverse change in market interest rates, sustained for one year, on our
interest expense would be immaterial.
We maintain an investment portfolio in accordance with our investment policy guidelines. The
primary objectives of the investment guidelines are to preserve capital, maintain sufficient
liquidity to meet our operating needs, and to maximize return. We minimize investment risk by
limiting the amount invested in any single security and by focusing on conservative investment
choices with short terms and high credit quality standards. We do not use derivative financial
instruments or invest for speculative trading purposes.

ITEM 4. |
|
Controls and Procedures |
Disclosure controls and procedures: As of the end of the period covered by this report, we
carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management,
including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the
design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to the Exchange Act Rule
13a-15. Based upon the evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective. Disclosure controls and
procedures are controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be
disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange
Commissions rules and forms.
Internal controls over financial reporting: During the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2010, no
changes were made in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II Other Information
|
|
|
ITEM 1. |
|
Legal Proceedings |
We are involved from time to time in litigation incidental to the conduct of our business.
Although we do not expect that the outcome of any of these matters, individually or collectively,
will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations, litigation
is inherently unpredictable. Therefore, judgments could be rendered, or settlements entered, that
could adversely affect our operating results or cash flows in a particular period. We routinely
assess all of our litigation and threatened litigation as to the probability of ultimately
incurring a liability, and record our best estimate of the ultimate loss in situations where we
assess the likelihood of loss as probable.
For a discussion of the material risks that we face relating to our business, financial
performance and industry, as well as other risks that an investor in our common stock may face, see
the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2009. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and elsewhere
in this report are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently
known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially adversely affect our
business, financial condition or operating results.
