DELUXE CORPORATION
CONDENSED NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

NOTE 1: CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2020, the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 are unaudited. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the consolidated financial statements are included. Adjustments consist only of normal recurring items, except for any discussed in the notes below. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The consolidated financial statements and notes are presented in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and do not contain certain information included in our annual consolidated financial statements and notes. The consolidated financial statements and notes appearing in this report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated audited financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the 2019 Form 10-K).

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors and assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, including the estimated impact of extraordinary events such as the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the result of which forms the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ significantly from our estimates and assumptions, including our estimates of the severity and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic. Further information can be found in Note 15.

Amounts within cash flows from operating activities and cash flows from investing activities on the consolidated statement of cash flows for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 have been modified to conform to the current year presentation. Within cash flows from operating activities, loss on sales of businesses and customer lists is included within other non-cash items, net. In the previous year, this was presented separately. Within cash flows from investing activities, payments for acquisitions, net of cash acquired, is included within the other caption. In the previous year, this was presented separately.


NOTE 2: NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

ASU No. 2016-13 – In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. Subsequently, the FASB issued several amendments to this standard. These standards replace the incurred loss methodology previously utilized for valuing financial instruments with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss (CECL) methodology. The measurement of expected losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial instruments measured at amortized cost, including accounts and loans receivable. The standards also made targeted changes to the accounting for available-for-sale debt securities. We adopted the standards on January 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective method for financial instruments measured at amortized cost. Under this method, prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. We recorded a net decrease in retained earnings of $3,640 as of January 1, 2020 for the cumulative effect of adopting the standards, which consisted primarily of an increase in the allowance for credit losses on loans and notes receivable, net of the related deferred income tax impact. We recorded no allowance for credit losses related to our available-for-sale debt securities. Further information regarding these investments can be found in Note 3.

An allowance for uncollectible accounts is a valuation account that is deducted from an asset's amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected. Amounts are charged off against the allowance when we believe the uncollectibility of an account is confirmed. In calculating the allowances related to trade accounts receivable and revenue in excess of billings, we utilize a combination of aging schedules with reserve rates applied to both current and aged receivables and roll-rate reserves using historical loss rates and changes in current or projected conditions. In determining the allowance for uncollectible accounts related to loans and notes receivable from distributors, we utilize a loss-rate analysis based on historical loss information, current delinquency rates, the credit quality of the loan recipients and the portfolio mix to determine an appropriate credit risk measurement, adjusted to reflect current loan-specific risk characteristics and changes in environmental conditions affecting our small business distributors. Changes in conditions that may affect our distributors include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions, changes in the markets for their products and services and changes in governmental regulations. In completing our analysis, we utilize a reversion methodology for periods beyond the reasonable and supportable forecast period, as many of our loans and notes receivable have longer terms. Further information regarding current risks and

CONDENSED NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

uncertainties affecting our loans and notes receivable can be found in Note 15. Further information regarding our allowances for uncollectible accounts can be found in Note 3.

Our trade accounts receivable and unbilled receivables are not interest-bearing. Interest rates on our loans and notes receivable generally range from 6% to 8% and reflect market interest rates at the time the transactions were executed. Accrued interest included in loans and notes receivable is not significant.
 
ASU No. 2018-13 – In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements. This standard removes, modifies and adds certain disclosures related to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. During 2018, we adopted the provisions of the standard that remove and modify disclosure requirements. The additional disclosures were effective for us on January 1, 2020 and are required to be applied prospectively to fair value measurements completed on or after that date. Disclosures regarding our fair value measurements can be found in Note 7.

ASU No. 2018-15 – In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract. This standard aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The accounting for the service element of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract is not affected by the new standard. We adopted this standard on January 1, 2020, applying it prospectively to eligible costs incurred on or after this date. Adoption of this standard did impact our results of operations and financial position, as we previously expensed these implementation costs as incurred. As of March 31, 2020, $7,507 of cloud computing implementation costs were included within other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheet. These costs primarily relate to our planned implementation of a new enterprise resource planning system.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

ASU No. 2019-12 – In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This standard addresses several specific areas of accounting for income taxes. The guidance is effective for us on January 1, 2021. Portions of the standard are required to be adopted prospectively and certain aspects will be adopted using the modified retrospective approach. We do not expect the application of this standard to have a significant impact on our results of operations or financial position.

Assets held for sale – Assets held for sale as of December 31, 2019 consisted of a small business customer list and certain Cloud Solutions internal-use software. The small business customer list was also held for sale as of March 31, 2020. During the first quarter of 2020, we determined that the internal-use software was fully impaired, and we recorded an asset impairment charge of $1,530. Customer attrition in the business utilizing the software caused us to evaluate the asset for impairment, and this analysis indicated that the asset was fully impaired.

Also held for sale as of March 31, 2020, was an additional small business customer list. During the first quarter of 2020, we agreed to sales terms for this customer list, and we completed the sale early in the second quarter of 2020. Based on the negotiated sales price, we recorded an asset impairment charge of $697 to write-down the asset's carrying value to its fair value less costs to sell. We are actively marketing the remaining asset held for sale and expect that its selling price will equal or exceed its current carrying value.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, we recorded a loan-specific allowance related to a distributor that was underperforming. In calculating this reserve, we utilized various valuation techniques to determine the value of the underlying collateral, resulting in an allowance of $6,128 as of March 31, 2020. Other past due receivables and those on non-accrual status were not significant as of March 31, 2020.

We categorize loans and notes receivable into risk categories based on information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt, including current financial information, historical payment experience, current economic trends and other factors. The highest quality receivables are assigned a 1-2 internal grade. Those that have a potential weakness requiring management's attention are assigned a 3-4 internal grade.

The following table presents loans and notes receivable from Safeguard distributors, including the current portion, by credit quality indicator and by year of origination, as of March 31, 2020. There were no write-offs or recoveries recorded during the quarter ended March 31, 2020.
