Executive Summary: BMG offers a fixed-rate, fixed -payment employee voluntary loan program ("LoansAtWork" or the "Program"). The Program does not require a credit report to qualify and has been and will continue to be available to employees who have been employed by the City for at least 1 year and are not currently in bankruptcy. The Program offers unsecured loans with fixed repayments over terms of 6 to 24 months, processed through payroll deductions. The Program will allow employees who may have only high-priced alternatives for short-term borrowing needs to borrow responsibly and pay off their debt in affordable installments. It also will help employees who do not have sufficient savings to cover unforeseen expenses such as the cost of moving, medical needs, or automobile repairs. We believe that for several years, the City's employees have seen real value in LoansAtWork, and it can continue to provide an important financial lifeline to those employees that are too often taken advantage of by the predatory payday lenders targeting our communities. Proposer's Qualification & Experience: BMG's experience and qualifications are without peer. Simply put, to our knowledge, there is no other organization with comparable experience in our market. Proposer has approximately fifty-two (52) public sector employer clients. To date, we have serviced many thousands of loans, issuing over $175 million of loans to employees who otherwise would have fallen victim to predatory payday loans. Ability to Perform Required Services: We are expert in the origination and servicing of the issuance of socially -responsible loans to the employees of our employer clients, and we have the wherewithal and experience to ensure that the City continues to be a satisfied client for as long as it chooses to participate in the Program.

Proposer shall provide annual statements to employees regarding interest paid annually, at no cost to the employee. 7.

I1 b. Proposed Overall Approach and Methodology to Performing the Services / Implementation and Management of the Program: 1. Explain the standard interest rate for the program. This must be the maximum amount charged for any employee and must be based on a simple interest loan. The maximum interest rate charged for any City employee will be 23.99% simple interest. Program loan interest rates will be a small fraction of the cost of payday loans — BMG's fixed interest rate of 23.99% compared to the predatory payday loans providers charging fees equal to APRs of 275% or more... • BMG charges only `simple" interest — unlike many credit cards, there is no compounding — no interest -on -interest. • BMG's interest rate is fixed it will not rise with the Prime Rate or ever increase for any reason. • BMG NEVER charges any "penalty rates" of any kind. • BMG does not offer deceptive introductory or "teaser" rates that start low and increase over time. 2. Explain any and all fees that are the responsibility the employee, including any application fees, processing fees, etc. BMG will NEVER charge any City employee any fees of any kind whatsoever. To be clear, BMG's fees for City employees will be as follows: • Application fees - $0 • Processing fees - $0 • Credit investigation fees - $0 • Loan origination fees - $0 • Annual or other membership fees - $0 • Pre -payment penalties - $0 • Late fees - $0 • Penalty rates - none • Over -limit fees - $0 • NSF fees - $0 • Failed payroll deduction fees - $0 • Any and all other fees of any kind - $0 12 3. Explain the minimum requirements for an employee to secure a loan. Specifically address: i. Tenure; 11. Salary; iii. Other financial obligations of the employee; and iv. Additionally, explain any reasons an employee can be declined for a loan. i. Tenure BMG will require enrolling employees to have one (1) year or more of continuous employment with the City. Temporary or seasonal employees will not be eligible. ii. Salary BMG's loans range from $500 to $5,000, with individual maximum loan amounts based upon an employee's salary. At the time of enrollment, BMG will conduct an income review to design each Program loan so that the payroll deduction repayments do not exceed ten -percent (10°%) of the employee's net take-home pay. BMG will implement the income calculations and support all processing based upon the actual census information provided by the City. iii. Other financial obligations of the employee; and To enroll, employees must complete an online review to ensure that their loan fits their budget. Participating employees may NOT have more than one loan at -a -time. iv. Additionally, explain any reasons an employee can be declined for a loan. Again, BMG only allows one loan at -a -time, and only one loan per married household. The only other reasons benefits -eligible employees at least 18 years of age with one year or more of tenure will be declined for a loan would be if they have a current bankruptcy case open in the courts (as per federal law), or if their identity cannot be verified as required by the Patriot Act or they appear on the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control banned -persons list (these circumstances will be exceeding rare). In order to ensure that employees do not borrow more than they need, fearing that they will not be able to borrow again until their loans have been repaid at the end of the loan term (up to two (2) years), employees may refinance their loans, using the proceeds of a new loan to pay off a prior loan in full. However, participating employees may refinance their loans no more than two (2) times in any rolling twelve (12)-month period. 4. Explain the length of loans, repayment terms, or other limitations, etc. The Program offers unsecured loans with fixed repayments over terms of six (6) to twenty-four (24) months (at the participating employee's option), processed through 13 payroll deductions. It will be BMG's responsibility to calculate and communicate the fixed, recurring deduction amounts per each employee payroll deduction schedule. BMG will provide the payroll deduction loan repayment amounts once per pay period via the current or another agreed -upon secure file delivery method, for all applicable deduction schedules (twenty-six (26) times per year or any such other schedule as the City may require in the future), and in a format as required by the City to allow for, at the City's option, the automated or manual import of such deduction amounts into the City's payroll system. Employees may pay off loans in full or partially — at any time with absolutely no pre -payment penalties of any kind. 5. Indicate and explain if there is a lower rate adjustment based on employee's credit rating? BMG does not offer a lower rate adjustment based upon an employee's credit rating. Rather than underwriting loans based upon credit scores and history like traditional banks and credit unions, BMG underwrites loans based upon employment status and income, thus enabling access to employees that are ordinarily excluded from the financial mainstream and too often turn to payday lenders. Emergency loans should be guaranteed -issue and are not intended to be underwritten with credit scores or traditional credit ratings. Traditional banks, credit unions, credit card companies and even other employment -based lenders use "risk -based pricing" and credit scores to underwrite and price their loans so that different consumers pay different prices. Many of those options already are available in the market to City employees that qualify. Additionally, we do not want to negatively impact employees' credit scores further with an application inquiry. Nor do we want to discourage those employees most in need from enrolling if they see the credit score review process and the "guaranteed - issue" aspect of the Program is undermined. But most importantly, in order to ensure enrolling employees explore whether they qualify for lower -cost, local options, at the City's option, we will include related information in the very first screen in the enrollment process. Of course, this screen is customized for, and reviewed and approved by, the employer client prior to launch. We will specifically refer employees to a local lender, including a tel. no. and link to its website. Our approach is "don't borrow money unless you need to, and if you need to, borrow from the lowest -cost provider." For most employees, that will be the local bank or credit union. But if they cannot help for any reason, employees should NOT go to the payday loan store around the corner. We can help them at a much lower cost. To help keep the City's employees on sound financial footing in the future, BMG reports loan performance (all accounts, every month) to credit bureaus and adds to participating employees' credit history (payroll deductions ensure timely repayment). 14 b. Explain process for applicant to apply for a loan. Include copy of application, time for processing, and any other relevant details for securing a loan. BMG hosts a fast and convenient on-line enrollment and approval process (please find enclosed a copy of the application at TAB 8). The enrollment screens are simple and take approximately 15 minutes to complete. The majority of loans will be approved within moments of BMG's receipt of employment confirmation from the City. In order to be approved, City employees will not be required to move their banking relationships to any specific bank or credit union, and City employees will not need to be in "good standing" with their bank. In fact, City employees do NOT need to have a bank account. And, employees will not be excluded because they have had prior delinquencies or overdrawn checks or accounts. BMG does NOT do a credit check. LoansAtWork does not require a credit report or "FICO score" or the like to qualify employees or so that certain employees receive an interest rate that is better or worse than their co-workers. Generally, loan proceeds then are received by participating employees in one business day of loan execution. Loan proceeds will be sent to participating employees by either (at the employees' option): (i) automatic bank account deposit only to an account held in the name of the participating employee; or (ii) paper check made payable only to the participating employee, sent via U.S. Mail to the participating employees' home address. 7. What materials/services does the Proposer provide support to non-English speaking employees and hearing -impaired callers? Multiple -language (English, Spanish, Portuguese, French and Haitian Creole) employ,ee customer service is available by toll -free telephone number and in -person at BMG office locations in the City of Miami and Tamarac, Florida (Broward County), during standard business hours, Monday -Friday. Furthermore, at no expense to the City or any of its employees, BMG will make available by appointment, at City locations as needed, translators fluent in American Sign Language (ASL), or any other language as required by any participating City employees. And, all participating employees have 24/7 on-line access to their loan information and status. 15 2. IMPLEMENTATION AND MANAGEMENT OF PROGRAM: 1. Describe any financial education outreach and/or literacy training the Proposer will provide to City employees and the community. For enrolling City employees, Proposer shall provide mandatory financial education providing debt management, instruction on responsible borrowing, and financial literacy community outreach. BMG offers free financial literacy training to all of our clients' employees whether they are LoansAtWork customers or not. Our free financial literacy training is based upon the FDIC's Money Smart curriculum and has been received very well. In addition to offering our free financial literacy training to City employees, BMG will be glad to offer it to City residents at City facilities, at the City's option: We propose doing so on a quarterly basis four times per year, but of course we will design the plan in collaboration with the City and will offer the sessions more or less often as desired by the City. 2. Explain any proposed funds for a specific City involvement program (as defined by the City) i.e. Wellness fund, ,financial wellness, benefit related, etc. We Iook forward to many opportunities to collaborate with the City on its most important employee and community outreach efforts. In this regard, BMG will contribute at least two -thousand, five -hundred dollars ($2,500) per year to specific City of Miami involvement programs (as defined by the City) — i.e., wellness fund, financial wellness, benefit -related, etc. Furthermore, in addition to this $2,500, BMG will be a reliable sponsor of City of Miami events as determined in collaboration with the City, and BMG will build upon its strong record of being a good community partner. More specifically, BMG is proud of its long history of community outreach. BMG is based in Miami, and BMG is active in our community, supporting various local initiatives intended to improve the quality of life of our neighbors. More specifically, in recent years BMG has supported the important work of (among many others): • American Cancer Society; • Dade Police Benevolent Association; • Dade Schools Athletic Foundation; • City of Doral youth sports programs; • Florida Association of State Troopers; • Florida Police Athletic League; • Foundation for New Education Initiatives; • Greater FL Consortium of School Boards; 16 • Hillel of Broward and Palm Beach; • Lauren's Kids; • OurKids of Miami-Dade/Monroe; • South Florida Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society; • St. Baldrick's Foundation; • United Way of Broward County; • United Way of Miami -Dade and its Center for Financial Stability; • University of Miami; • Wilton Manors Island City Foundation; and • Zoo Miami. 3. Describe the Loan Program's implementation plan of and interaction with the City employees. Importantly, the City of Miami is an existing BMG client, offering its employees the LoansAtWork program since 2014. Thus, there is no need for Program implementation — it already has been implemented. Of course, Proposer stands ready to make any adjustments as appropriate upon the City's request. Tom McCormick, Chief Growth Officer (a senior executive of BMG), will be primarily responsible for the on -going servicing of the Program for the City. He generally provides supervision of the Program and will do so specifically with respect to the City. Mr. McCormick will coordinate all necessary capacity planning — all needed funds and support personnel and services — and the overall timeliness and accuracy of all deliverables. Our entire company is built around the premise that we can only help public sector employees if we manage the Program in such a way that we take on the administrative burden and minimize any impact on our public -sector employer clients. All eligibility criteria processing, other legally -required identity and address verifications, and review for currently -open bankruptcy filings, will continue to be managed by BMG. The City will confirm to BMG the employment status and income for its employees enrolling in the Program through its existing process, or any other standard process to be mutually agreed upon. BMG will continue to implement the eligibility review and income calculations, and support all related processing based upon the actual employment information provided by the City. BMG will continue to provide the deduction amounts according to the City's employee payroll deduction schedule, via the agreed -upon secure file delivery method, in the current format, or any other format as may be required by the City, to allow for the import of such deduction amounts into the City's payroll system. BMG will continue to maintain accurate recordkeeping, including but not limited to, deductions, terminations, and all other billing and reconciliation matters. 17 BMG will attend any enrollment meetings, benefits fairs, and other events only as requested by the City. The form and content of all employee communication materials will be subject to the prior review and approval of the City. The design and production of such materials shall be at the sole expense of BMG. Materials may include, at the City's discretion, flyers, brochures, newsletter copy, e-mail announcements, direct mail, etc., and shall be distributed to employees, whether during open enrollment or during the year, at the discretion of the City. BMG will continue to provide all administrative services required to support the Program, at no cost to the City. BMG's e-commerce system will support the loan enrollment and customer self-service platforms that will be available to the City's employees. All customer service will be provided by BMG to the City's employees, including via telephone, website, and in -person. BMG does not propose to provide any additional services other than as specifically set forth herein. BMG only offers one product to its employer clients — the LoansAtWork program — and will not cross -sell any other plans, products or services to employees of the City without the prior written approval of the City. Importantly, unlike other potential vendors: • BMG does NOT take the position that participating employees' authorizations for payroll deductions are "irrevocable" — we do not know that such a position is even permitted by applicable law; • BMG does NOT prohibit participating employers from allowing employees to suspend or discontinue payroll deductions — again, we do not know that such a position is even permitted by applicable law; • BMG does NOT insist upon a termination right based upon delinquency or default (the risk of the program should be the vendor's — not the City's); and • BMG does NOT insist that the City add a new requirement to its termination processes / checklist to require the City to check on remaining balances owed on any outstanding loans and deduct such remaining balances from employees' final paychecks or require similar "balloon payments" under any circumstances. In sum, the City's involvement in the administration of this contract will remain unchanged, unless the City desires to make changes. BMG will support any such changes as appropriate at its sole expense. This is one of our most important competitive advantages, and it will be key to our continued approach with the City. 18 7. Financial: 1. Proposer shall submit a detailed schedule of payment and interest rate, as part of the Proposal Submittal. Cost to the City of Miami: BMG will provide the Program at absolutely no cost to the City. BMG does not request nor require the City to pay to BMG any fees, contributions, assessments, premiums or charges of any kind whatsoever. The City shall not be requested nor required to reimburse BMG for any expenses. BMG will reimburse the City for all of its direct, out-of-pocket costs, including ACH/wire transfers, payroll deduction processing charges, and any and all other expenses associated with the Program (if any). Furthermore, the City will not guarantee BMG against any risk of credit losses. The City shall bear absolutely no liability or risk from the Program's implementation or operation. The City shall NOT be a guarantor or secondarily liable in any manner for the repayment of Program loans and responsibility for all such loans shall be strictly and solely the participating employee's and BMG's. BMG shall assume any and all liability associated with all such loans, including any and all loans to participants no longer under the City's employment, whether due to voluntary resignation, involuntary termination, death or disability, or otherwise. Cost to Participating Employees: Interest Rate — The interest rate charged for City employees will be 23.99% simple interest. Program loan interest rates will be a small fraction of the cost of payday loans BMG's fixed interest rate of 23.99% compared to the predatory payday loans providers charging fees equal to APRs of 275% or more... • BMG charges only "simple" interest — unlike many credit cards, there is no compounding — no interest -on -interest. • BMG's interest rate is fixed — it will not rise with the Prime Rate or ever increase for any reason. • BMG NEVER charges any "penalty rates" of any kind. • BMG does not offer deceptive introductory or "teaser" rates that start Iow and increase over time. 19 Fees — BMG will NEVER charge any City employee any fees of any kind whatsoever.

This information shall include the amounts of the basic elements of the proposed percentage. These elements will include, as applicable, direct labor, fringe benefits, indirect costs and rate, fee, and profit. The interest rate charged for City employees will be 23.99% simple interest. Program loan interest rates will be a small fraction of the cost of payday loans — BMG's fixed interest rate of 23.99% compared to the predatory payday loans providers charging fees equal to APRs of 275% or more... • BMG charges only "simple" interest unlike many credit cards, there is no compounding — no interest -on -interest. • BMG's interest rate is fixed — it will not rise with the Prime Rate or ever increase for any reason. • BMG NEVER charges any "penalty rates" of any kind. • BMG does not offer deceptive introductory or "teaser" rates that start low and increase over time.

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of BMG Money, Inc. (the "Company"), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements. Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor's Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Company's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of BMG Money, Inc. as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Emphasis of Matter The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that could negatively impact its ability to continue as a going concern. Management believes their plans in regard to these matters, as described in Note 1, alleviate the doubt to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2015 AND 2014 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS Nature of Operations BMG Money, Inc. (the "Company') was incorporated in September 2009 in the State of Delaware and began operations in 2010 in the State of Florida. The Company is majority owned (90%) by a Brazilian investment company and minority owned (10%) by a Connecticut limited liability company. The Company is a licensed consumer finance company that provides unsecured loans directly to employees of selected employer clients throughout Florida. Employer clients include primarily public and not -for -profit organizations in Florida with which the Company has agreements to verify employment and process payroll deductions authorized by participating employees. Applications are approved based on employment and income, and loans with terms of up to 2 years are generally funded within 1-2 business days of execution. Loans are repaid via fixed installment payments that are deducted from the employee's payroll each pay period. In exchange for its services, the Company receives a one-time credit investigation fee and simple daily interest on the outstanding principal balance of the loans. As of December 31, 2015, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $10,299,060 and has incurred significant recurring net losses during the last five years. If these losses continue and the Company is unable to raise additional capital, the Company may no longer continue to operate as a going concern. As of October 31, 2016, the Company had a net loss of $188,059 (unaudited) and an accumulated deficit of $10,487,119 (unaudited). Per management's projections, the Company anticipates to have positive net income by the end of 2017. Additionally, per management, the Company achieved positive net income in July, August, September and October 2016, consecutively. Further, Company management notes that the Company's majority shareholder is an affiliate of Banco BMG S.A., which has approximately $5 billion of assets and approximately $900 million of shareholders' equity as of June 30, 2016 (unaudited). 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Financial Statement Presentation The Company's accounting policies and reporting practices conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Use of Estimates In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes 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. The deferral of revenue, allowance for loan losses and the valuation allowance of deferred tax assets are significant estimates made by management in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company's cash balances consist of cash held at several commercial banks. The Company generally limits exposure by placing deposits with quality financial institutions. However, at times the Company's cash balances may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limit of $250,000. -6- BMG MONEY, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2015 AND 2014 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Loans Receivable The Company's loan portfolio consists of fixed rate installment loans with initial terms of six, twelve, eighteen twenty-four or thirty-six months of payroll deductions. Applications are underwritten and loans are approved based on verification of employment status, identity, bankruptcy status and income. Loans are funded primarily through an electronic funds transfer of the loan proceeds directly into the borrower's bank account, or through the issuance of a check drawn upon the Company's bank account. Loans are funded upon the execution by the applicant of a promissory note which details the agreed -upon repayment terms of the loan. Simple interest on the outstanding principal balance is accrued and recorded on a daily basis. Concentrations of Credit Risk Credit risk represents the maximum accounting loss that would be recognized at the reporting date if counterparties failed completely to perform as contracted and any collateral proved to be of no value. Concentrations of credit risk (whether on or off -balance sheet) arising from financial instruments exist in relation to certain groups of customers. A group concentration arises when a number of counterparties have similar economic characteristics that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic or other conditions. At December 31, 2015, approximately 300 customers employed by one employer accounted for 29.1% of total loans in aggregate. At December 31, 2014, approximately 1,417 customers employed by one employer accounted for 43.7% of total loans in aggregate. The Company grants loans primarily to customers in Florida, many of whom share common employers and reside in Miami -Dade and Broward counties. Although the Company has a diversified portfolio, substantial portions of its debtors are dependent upon employment with certain employers, 5 of which represent more than 2.5% of the Company's portfolio. Management has the ability to reduce its credit concentrations by virtue of its ability to readily sell participations in loans receivable to a related party. Allowance for Loan Losses The Company establishes an allowance for loan losses equal to a percentage of the outstanding principal and unpaid interest balance of each loan in the month in which it becomes 60, 90, and 120 days delinquent as disclosed in the table below. In the month in which the loan becomes 180 days delinquent, the unpaid principal balance is written off against the 100% allowance that has been reserved. Days Past due Incremental Amount of Aggregate Amount Reserve of ReseRe 60 25% 25% 90 25% 50% 120 50% 100% 180 Charged -off The Company generally places loans on nonaccual status when the loans reach ninety days past due. When management places a loan on nonaccrual status, the accrued unpaid interest receivable is reversed against interest income and the loan is accounted on the cash or cost recovery method, until it qualifies for return to accrual status. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash -basis until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured. If interest is subsequently collected on these loans, the amount collected is applied towards the reductions of the outstanding principal. The allowance related to the outstanding principal balance is written off in the month in which the loan becomes 180 days delinquent. Bankruptcies are charged off on the end of the month that the Company is notified of the bankruptcy. -7- BMG MONEY, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2015 AND 2014 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Allowance for Loan Losses (continued) The Company establishes an allowance for loan losses, which is maintained at a level deemed appropriate by management to adequately provide for known and inherent risks in the existing loans. The allowance is based upon a continuing review of loan loss experience, current economic conditions and other factors that in management's best judgment deserve recognition in estimating potential losses. Actual losses could differ materially from management's estimate. Furniture and Equipment, Net Furniture and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the life of the assets, ranging from three to five years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred; improvements and betterments are capitalized. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gains or losses are credited or charged to income. Advertising Costs Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The Company did not incur any advertising costs for the year ended December 31, 2015. Advertising costs amounted to $3,000 for the year ended December 31, 2014 and are included within the caption of other expenses in the accompanying statements of operations. Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company recognizes positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return in accordance with existing accounting guidance on income taxes which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process. Interest and penalties on tax liabilities, if any, would be recorded in interest expense and other expense, respectively. Impairment of Long -Lived Assets The Company's long-lived assets, such as furniture and equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the balance sheet. The Company did not recognize an impairment charge during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. -8- BMG MONEY, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2015 AND 2014 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Risks and Uncertainties The Company's business is regulated by state laws and regulations in each state in which it operates, including those governing consumer protection and in some cases, lending practices (such as truth -in -lending and state usury laws), which are subject to change. These laws and regulations, among other things, establish licensing requirements, regulate the Company's approval and application procedures, establish maximum fees and late charges, require specified disclosures to customers, and govern collection practices. Any adverse change in or interpretation of existing laws or regulations or the failure to comply with any such laws and regulations, could result in fines, class action litigation, or interruption or cessation of certain business activities of the Company. Subsequent Events The Company has evaluated subsequent events through December 6, 2016, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Revenue From Contracts With Customers In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an accounting standard update which affects the revenue recognition of entities that enter into either (1) certain contracts to transfer goods or services to customers or (2) certain contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets. The update indicates an entity should recognize revenue in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for the goods or services transferred by the entity. The update is to be applied to the beginning of the year of implementation or retrospectively and is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and in interim periods in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and in interim periods in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early application is permitted, but no earlier than annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the update will have on its financial statements. Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern In August 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standard update which requires an entity's management to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. The update is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016 and interim periods thereafter with early application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the update will have on its financial statements. Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities In January 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard update which seeks to enhance the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure requirements of financial instruments. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the update will have on its financial statements. -9- BMG MONEY, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2015 AND 2014 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued) Lease Accounting In February 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard update which amends existing lease guidance. The update requires lessees to recognize a right -of -use asset and related lease liability for many operating leases now currently off -balance sheet under current US GAAP. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the update will have on its financial statements but expects upon adoption that the update will have a material effect on the Company's financial condition due to the recognition of a right -of -use asset and related lease liability. The Company does not anticipate the update having a material effect on the Company's results of operations or cash flows, though such an effect is possible. The update is effective using a modified retrospective approach for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early application permitted. Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments In June 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard update which will replace the current incurred loss impairment methodology in US GAAP with a methodology that reflects the expected credit losses. The update is intended to provide financial statement users with more decision -useful information about expected credit losses. This update is effective on a modified retrospective basis for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 including interim periods in those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the update will have on its financial statements. 3.

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, there were 14,850 and 14,050, respectively, shares of common stock issued and outstanding. -11- BMG MONEY, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2015 AND 2014 6. INCOME TAXES The Company recorded no income tax benefit or expense for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. The actual income tax expense for 2015 and 2014 differs from the statutory tax expense for the year (computed by applying the U.S. federal corporate tax rate of 34% net loss) due to state income tax expense, non -deductible expenses, and valuation allowance. The Company's gross deferred tax assets are mainly comprised of Federal and State net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $4,400,000 expiring in various amounts starting in 2030. Their utilization is limited to future taxable earnings of the Company. Due to the uncertain nature of the ultimate realization of the net deferred tax asset, the Company has established a full valuation allowance against the benefits of the deferred tax asset and will recognize these benefits only as reassessment demonstrates they are realizable. Ultimate realization is dependent upon several factors, among which is future earnings. While the need for this valuation allowance is subject to periodic review, if the allowance is reduced, the tax benefits of the net deferred tax assets will be recorded in future operations as a reduction of the Company's income tax expense. The U.S. Federal jurisdiction and Florida are the major tax jurisdictions where the Company files income tax returns. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. Federal or State examinations by tax authorities for years before 2012. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits as a result of tax positions taken during a prior period or during the current period. No interest or penalties have been recorded as a result of tax uncertainties. 7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS On July 1, 2013, the Company signed a Master Participation Agreement with an affiliate which authorizes periodic sales of participation interests in selected portfolios of loans. The terms of the non -recourse sales agreement provide for the Company to service the loans and pass through all collections on the sold portfolios to the buyer. The Company reimburses the buyer for the unearned premium on the sold loans that prepay in full due to refinance prior to their scheduled maturity date. During 2015 and 2014, the Company sold participations in 8,287 and 3,730 loans with an outstanding principal balance of approximately $35,118,000 and $17,383,000 for approximately $39,829,000 and $18,257,000 to the affiliate, respectively. As a result of the sales, the Company recorded approximately $4,711,000 and $1,825,000, respectively, of deferred revenue due to the spread between the sales price and the loan amount, which is being amortized over the remaining lives of the loans sold. Approximately $2,192,000 and $939,000 was recorded in revenue for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 for the amortization of this deferred revenue and approximately $1,775,000 and $671,000 was refunded to the affiliate due to prepayments of loans, respectively. On January 31, 2014, the Company entered into an Installment Loan Servicing Agreement with an affiliate. Fees set forth within the agreement are due on a quarterly basis in consideration of the affiliate's performance of such information technology support services on behalf of the Company for the use of the affiliate's loan servicing system. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the total amounts due to an affiliate was approximately $598,000 and $1,145,000, respectively, and is included in the Due to affiliates caption in the accompanying financial statements. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the total amounts due to an affiliate, which represents the amounts collected on the sold portfolios in the months of December 2015 and 2014, plus that portion of the unearned premium related to loans prepaid in December 2015 and 2014, was approximately $4,092,000 and $1,939,000, respectively. -12- BMG MONEY, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2015 AND 2014 7 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED) On June 25, 2014, the Company executed a loan agreement with an affiliate in the amount of $1,470,712. Principal and interest on the loan is payable at maturity, on June 24, 2015. On June 24, 2015, the Company entered into a first amendment of the loan agreement where the amount of the principal and interest was extended to be due and payable on June 24, 2016. On June 24, 2016, the Company entered into a second amendment of the loan agreement where the amount of the principal and interest was extended to be due and payable on June 24, 2018. Interest is to accrue at the rate of 9%, per annum, through the repayment date. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, there was $1,470,712 in principal outstanding, which is included in the Due to affiliates caption in the accompanying balance sheets, and $134,904 and $69,265, respectively, in interest expense, all of which was accrued interest payable and included in the accrued liabilities caption in the accompanying balance sheets. 8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Operating Leases The Company, as a co -tenant, leases office space for its headquarters under a non -cancelable operating lease. The lease agreement term is through February 2019, and contains provisions for free rent concessions, base rent escalation, and pro-rata share of expenses and taxes. The Company is responsible for 50% of the cost of the lease in accordance with an expense sharing agreement with a co -tenant. The Company leases an additional space pursuant to a lease agreement through December 2016. Minimum rent payments under the operating leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. These leases contain escalation clauses providing for increased rent expense based on either a fixed rate or an increase in the average consumer price index. Included in deferred rent that is included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying balance sheet at December 31, 2015 and 2014 is $588 and $6,215, respectively, which represents the difference between minimum rent payments and straight-line rent over the terms of the leases. As of December 31, 2015, the Company has the following approximate future minimum rent commitments under its operating lease: Years Ending December 31,, 2016 $ 71,076 2017 73,425 2018 74,597 2019 8,655 Total $ 227,753 Litigation Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe there are such matters that will have a material effect on the financial statements. Subsequent Events During 2016, the Company sold participation interests in 15 pools that includes 7,725 total loans from its portfolio amounting to approximately $33,153,000 in outstanding loan principal balances for $37,605,000 to its affiliate under similar terms and conditions to prior loan sales. The amounts due to affiliates as of August 31, 2016 were approximately $2,991,000. -13- November 20, 2017 By Hard Copy Submittal — Hand Deliver), Yadissa Calderon, Procurement Department City of Miami In care of: City Clerk, City of Miami City Hall 3500 Pan American Drive Miami, FL 33133-5504 RE: City of Miami RFP Number 727382.1 Request for Proposals (RFP) for an Employee Voluntary Loan Program Dear Ms. Calderon: 1 am the Chief Financial Officer of BMG Money, Inc.
