EXPLANATORY NOTE

Newtek Business Services Corp. (“we” or the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 18, 2019 (the “Form 10-K”), to provide separate audited financial statements for our unconsolidated portfolio company, Newtek Merchant Solutions, LLC and Subsidiaries (“NMS”), (formerly named Universal Processing Services of Wisconsin, LLC through December 20, 2019), as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2018 and 2016 (Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.3), and separate unaudited financial statements for NMS as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 (Exhibit 99.2), in Part IV, Item 15.

We have determined that this unconsolidated portfolio company has met the conditions of a significant subsidiary under Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X for which we are required, pursuant to Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X, to attach separate financial statements as exhibits to the Form 10-K. In accordance with Rule 3-09(b)(1), the separate financial statements of NMS are being filed as an amendment to the Form 10-K, within 90 days after the end of our fiscal year.

This Amendment also updates, amends and supplements Part IV, Item 15 of the Form 10-K to include, among other items, the filing of new Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, 32.1 and 32.2, certifications of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, pursuant to Rule 13a-14(a) and (b).

No other changes have been made to the Form 10-K other than that described above. This Amendment does not reflect subsequent events occurring after the original filing date of the Form 10-K or modify or update in any way disclosures made in the Form 10-K. Among other things, forward-looking statements made in the Form 10-K have not been revised to reflect events that occurred or facts that became known to us after filing of the Form 10-K, and such forward-looking statements should be read in their historical context. Furthermore, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Form 10-K and with our filings with the SEC subsequent to the Form 10-K.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT To the Board of Directors and Stockholder of Newtek Merchant Solutions, LLC and Subsidiaries We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Newtek Merchant Solutions, LLC and Subsidiaries (“NMS”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Newtek Business Services Corporation, which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2018, and the related consolidated statements of income, c hanges in member’s equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements. Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated 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 entity’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 consolidated financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. 1

Opinion In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Newtek Merchant Solutions, LLC and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2018, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Newtek Merchant Solutions, LLC and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Year Ended December 31, 2018 1. Organization, Basis of Presentation and Description of Business NBSH Holdings, LLC (“NBSH”), was organized on November 1, 2018 under the laws of the State of New York and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Newtek Business Services Holdco 1, Inc. (“Holdco”) which was incorporated on June 5, 2015 under the laws of the State of New York and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Newtek Business Services Corp. (“Newtek”). NBSH, along with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Newtek Merchant Solutions, LLC (“NMS”) (formerly Universal Processing Services of Wisconsin, LLC), and Premier Payments LLC (“Premier”), are hereinafter referred to as the “Company”. On December 31, 2018, Premier was merged with and into NMS. Prior to November 1, 2018, NMS and Premier were wholly-owned subsidiaries of Holdco. The consolidated statements of income, member’s equity and cash flows include the results of NMS and Premier for the whole year as they were under common ownership. NMS and Premier market credit and debit card processing services, check approval services and ancillary processing equipment and software to merchants who accept credit cards, debit cards, checks and other noncash forms of payment. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NBSH and its wholly- owned subsidiaries, NMS and Premier as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 as if the ownership structure was in place on January 1, 2018 due to common ownership. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in these consolidated financial statements. 2. Significant Accounting Policies Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates, by their nature, are based on judgment and available information. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the near term relate to the determination of the reserve for chargeback losses. Financial Instruments The Company’s financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable from related party, accounts payable, residuals payable and bank notes payable. The carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and residuals payable approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities. The carrying amounts of notes receivable from related party and bank notes payable approximate fair value due to the variable interest rate they carry. Cash Invested cash is held exclusively at financial institutions of high credit quality. As of December 31, 2018, cash deposits in excess of insured amounts totaled approximately $12,542,000. 7

Newtek Merchant Solutions, LLC and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Year Ended December 31, 2018 Restricted Cash Under the terms of the processing agreement between NMS and its processing banks, NMS maintains cash accounts as reserves against chargeback losses. As the Company receives fees from the processing bank, a certain percentage is allocated to the cash reserve account. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable represent amounts owed to the Company by third parties for electronic payment processing and related residuals. The Company estimates losses on accounts receivable based on known troubled accounts and historical experience of losses incurred. The Company determined no reserve for uncollectible accounts was necessary at December 31, 2018. Inventory Inventory consists primarily of equipment to be installed in merchant locations to enable the merchants to process electronic transactions. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, which is determined on a FIFO (first in-first out) basis. Fixed Assets Fixed assets, which are comprised of terminals, telephone systems, furniture and fixtures, software, computer equipment, internally developed software, automobile, website and leasehold improvements, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation of fixed assets is provided on a straight-line basis using estimated useful lives of the related assets ranging from three to seven years. Amortization of leasehold improvements is provided on a straight-line basis using the lesser of the useful life of the asset, which is generally three to five years, or lease term. Software Development Costs The Company capitalizes certain software development costs for internal use. Costs incurred during the preliminary project stage are expensed as incurred, while application stage projects are capitalized. The latter costs are typically employee and/or consulting services directly associated with the development of the internal use software. Software and website costs are included in fixed assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Amortization commences once the software and website costs are ready for their intended use and are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life, typically three years. Goodwill and Customer Merchant Accounts Goodwill is an indefinite lived asset, which is not amortized and is instead subject to impairment testing, at least annually. Customer merchant accounts with finite lives are amortized over an estimated useful life of 30 or 66 months (See Note 5). The Company considers the following to be some examples of indicators that may trigger an impairment review outside of its annual impairment review: (i) significant under-performance or loss of key contracts acquired in an acquisition relative to expected historical or projected future operating results; (ii) significant changes in the manner or use of the acquired assets or in the Company’s overall strategy with respect to the manner or use of the acquired assets or changes in the Company’s overall business strategy; (iii) significant negative industry or economic trends; (iv) increased competitive pressures; (v) a significant decline in the Company’s fair value for a sustained period of time; and (vi) regulatory changes. In assessing the recoverability of the 8

Newtek Merchant Solutions, LLC and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Year Ended December 31, 2018 Company’s goodwill and customer merchant accounts, the Company must make assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of the respective assets. These include estimation of future cash flows, which is dependent on internal forecasts, estimation of the long-term rate of growth for the Company, the period over which cash flows will occur, and determination of the Company’s cost of capital. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and conclusions on impairment. Revenue Recognition Revenue is primarily derived from electronic payment processing and related fee income. Electronic payment processing and fee income Electronic payment processing and fee income is derived from the electronic processing of credit and debit card transactions that are authorized and captured through third-party networks. Typically, merchants are charged for these processing services by applying a percentage to the dollar amount of each transaction plus a flat fee per transaction. Certain merchant customers are charged miscellaneous fees, including fees for handling charge-backs or returns, monthly minimum fees, statement fees and fees for other miscellaneous services. Revenues derived from the electronic processing of MasterCard®, Visa® and Discover® sourced credit and debit card transactions are reported gross of amounts paid to sponsor banks. Interest Income Interest income from a related party is recorded on an accrual basis, when earned, based on the current lending rate in place. Reserve for Losses on Merchant Accounts Disputes between a cardholder and a merchant periodically arise as a result of, among other things, cardholder dissatisfaction with merchandise quality or merchant services. Such disputes may not be resolved in the merchant’s favor. In these cases, the transaction is “charged back” to the merchant, which means the purchase price is refunded to the customer through the merchant’s acquiring bank and charged to the merchant. If the merchant has inadequate funds, the Company or, under limited circumstances, the Company and the acquiring bank, must bear the credit risk for the full amount of the transaction. The Company evaluates its risk for such transactions and estimates its potential loss for charge-backs based primarily on historical experience and other relevant factors. The Company records reserves for charge-backs and contingent liabilities when such amounts are deemed to be probable and estimable. The required reserves may change in the future due to new developments, including, but not limited to, changes in litigation or increased charge-back exposure as the result of merchant insolvency, liquidation, or other reasons. The required reserves are reviewed periodically to determine if adjustments are required. Electronic Payment Processing Costs Electronic payment processing costs consist principally of costs directly related to the processing of merchant sales volume, including interchange fees, Visa®, MasterCard® and Discover® dues and assessments, bank processing fees and costs paid to third-party processing networks. Such costs are recognized at the time the merchant transactions are processed or when the services are performed. Two of the most significant components of electronic payment processing costs include interchange and assessment costs, which are set by the credit card associations. Interchange costs are passed on to the entity issuing the credit card used in the transaction and assessment costs are retained by the credit card associations. Interchange and assessment fees are billed primarily as 9

Newtek Merchant Solutions, LLC and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Year Ended December 31, 2018 a percentage of dollar volume processed and, to a lesser extent, as a per transaction fee. In addition to costs directly related to the processing of merchant sales volume, electronic payment processing costs also include residual expenses. Residual expenses represent fees paid to third-party sales referral sources. Residual expenses are paid in accordance with contracted terms. These are generally linked to revenues derived from merchants successfully referred to the Company and that begin using the Company for merchant processing services. Such residual expenses are recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company partnered with two sponsor banks for substantially all merchant transactions. Substantially all merchant transactions were processed by one merchant processor. Income Taxes The Company and its subsidiaries are treated as flow-through entities for federal and state income tax purposes. Under present income tax laws, the Company is not subject to federal or state income taxes. The member is responsible for taxes on their respective share of the Company’s net income or losses. The Company reviews uncertain tax positions taken, or expected to be taken, in the course of preparing the Company’s consolidated financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are “more likely than not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Management of the Company is required to analyze all open tax years, as defined by the statute of limitations, for all major jurisdictions, which include federal and certain states. The Company has no examinations in progress and none are expected at this time. The Company has reviewed the open tax years in major jurisdictions and concluded there is no tax liability, interest, or penalties resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken, or expected to be taken, in future tax returns. Subsequent Events The Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and/or disclosure through March 26, 2019, the date these consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. 10

Goodwill The carrying value of goodwill at December 31, 2018 is approximately $13,814,000. The Company performed a qualitative assessment on goodwill to determine if it is more likely than not that the Company’s fair value is less than its carrying amount. Based on its qualitative assessment, the Company determined that goodwill was not impaired at December 31, 2018 and that no further assessment was required. There were no changes to the carrying value of goodwill during the year ended December 31, 2018. 5. Customer Merchant Accounts The net carrying value of customer merchant accounts was approximately $3,884,000 at December 31, 2018.

Universal Processing Services of Wisconsin, LLC and Subsidiary Notes to Financial Statements Year Ended December 31, 2017 1. Organization, Description of Business, and Basis of Presentation Universal Processing Services of Wisconsin, LLC (“UPS-WI”), was organized as a limited liability company (“LLC”) under the laws of the State of Wisconsin and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Newtek Business Services Holdco 1, Inc. (“Holdco”). As UPS-WI is a limited liability company, the liability of Holdco is limited to its capital account. UPS-WI and its wholly-owned subsidiary, UPSWI Sales, LLC (“UPS Sales”) are collectively hereinafter referred to as the “Company”. The Company markets credit and debit card processing services, check approval services and ancillary processing equipment and software to merchants who accept credit cards, debit cards, checks and other non-cash forms of payment. 2. Significant Accounting Policies Use of Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates, by their nature, are based on judgment and available information. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the near term relate to the determination of the reserve for chargeback losses. Financial Instruments The Company’s financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, residuals payable, notes receivable from a related party and a bank note payable. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and residuals payable approximate fair value due to their short term maturities. The carrying amounts of notes receivable from a related party and bank note payable approximate fair value due to the variable interest rate they carry. Cash The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions of high credit quality. As of December 31, 2017, cash deposits in excess of insured amounts totaled approximately $13,555,000. Restricted Cash Under the terms of the processing agreement between UPS-WI and its processing banks, UPS-WI maintains cash accounts as reserves against chargeback losses. As the Company receives fees from the processing bank, a certain percentage is allocated to the cash reserve account for certain merchants. 5

Universal Processing Services of Wisconsin, LLC and Subsidiary Notes to Financial Statements Year Ended December 31, 2017 Inventory Inventory consists primarily of equipment to be installed in merchant locations to enable them to process electronic transactions. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market, which is determined on a FIFO (first in-first out) basis. Fixed Assets Fixed assets, which are comprised of telephone systems, software, website, computer equipment, credit card terminals, trucks and leasehold improvements, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation of fixed assets is provided on a straight-line basis using estimated useful lives of the related assets. Amortization of leasehold improvements is provided on a straight-line basis using the lesser of the useful life of the asset, which generally is three to five years, or lease term. Goodwill and Customer Merchant Accounts Goodwill is not amortized but is instead subject to impairment testing, at least annually. Customer merchant accounts with finite lives are amortized over 66 months as discussed in Note 5. The Company considers the following to be some examples of indicators that may trigger an impairment review: (i) significant under-performance or loss of key contracts acquired in an acquisition relative to expected historical or projected future operating results; (ii) significant changes in the manner or use of the acquired assets or in the Company’s overall strategy with respect to the manner or use of the acquired assets or changes in the Company’s overall business strategy; (iii) significant negative industry or economic trends; (iv) increased competitive pressures; (v) a significant decline in the Company’s fair market value for a sustained period of time; and (vi) regulatory changes. In assessing the recoverability of the Company’s goodwill and customer merchant accounts, the Company must make assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of the respective assets. These include estimation of future cash flows, which is dependent on internal forecasts, estimation of the long- term rate of growth for the Company, the period over which cash flows will occur, and determination of the Company’s cost of capital. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and conclusion on impairment. Revenue Recognition Electronic Payment Processing Electronic payment processing and fee income is derived from the electronic processing of credit and debit card transactions that are authorized and captured through third-party networks. Typically, merchants are charged for these processing services as a percentage of each transaction dollar plus a flat fee per transaction. Certain merchant customers are charged miscellaneous fees, including fees for handling charge-backs or returns, monthly minimum fees, statement fees and fees for other miscellaneous services. Revenues derived from the electronic processing of MasterCard®, Visa® and Discover® sourced credit and debit card transactions are reported gross of amounts paid to sponsor banks. Interest Income Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis, when earned, based on the current lending rate in place. 6

Universal Processing Services of Wisconsin, LLC and Subsidiary Notes to Financial Statements Year Ended December 31, 2017 Reserve for Losses on Merchant Accounts Disputes between a cardholder and a merchant periodically arise as a result of, among other things, cardholder dissatisfaction with merchandise quality or merchant services. Such disputes may not be resolved in the merchant’s favor. In these cases, the transaction is “charged back” to the merchant, which means the purchase price is refunded to the customer through the merchant’s acquiring bank and charged to the merchant. If the merchant has inadequate funds, the Company or, under limited circumstances, the Company and the acquiring bank, must bear the credit risk for the full amount of the transaction. The Company evaluates its risk for such transactions and estimates its potential loss for charge-backs based primarily on historical experience and other relevant factors. The Company records reserves for charge-backs and contingent liabilities when such amounts are deemed to be probable and estimable. The required reserves may change in the future due to new developments, including, but not limited to, changes in litigation or increased charge-back exposure as the result of merchant insolvency, liquidation, or other reasons. The required reserves are reviewed periodically to determine if adjustments are required. Electronic Payment Processing Costs Electronic payment processing costs consist principally of costs directly related to the processing of merchant sales volume, including interchange fees, Visa®, MasterCard® and Discover® dues and assessments, bank processing fees and costs paid to third-party processing networks. Such costs are recognized at the time the merchant transactions are processed or when the services are performed. Two of the most significant components of electronic processing expenses include interchange and assessment costs, which are set by the credit card associations. Interchange costs are passed on to the entity issuing the credit card used in the transaction and assessment costs are retained by the credit card associations. Interchange and assessment fees are billed primarily as a percentage of dollar volume processed and, to a lesser extent, as a per transaction fee. In addition to costs directly related to the processing of merchant sales volume, electronic payment processing costs also include residual expenses. Residual expenses represent fees paid to third-party sales referral sources. Residual expenses are paid in accordance with contracted terms. These are generally linked to revenues derived from merchants successfully referred to the Company and that begin using the Company for merchant processing services. Such residual expenses are recognized in the Company’s statement of income. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company partnered with two sponsor banks for substantially all merchant transactions. Substantially all merchant transactions were processed by one merchant processor. Income Taxes The Company is a limited liability company (“LLC”) and therefore pays no corporate taxes. The Company’s income, instead, passes through to its member. Accordingly, no liability for Federal, State and/or local income taxes has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements. As a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdco, the Company evaluated its tax positions at year end, and based on its analysis, determined that there were no uncertain tax positions. The Company’s U.S. Federal and State income tax returns prior to fiscal 2014 are closed and management continually evaluates expiring statutes of limitations, audits, proposed settlements, changes in tax law and new authoritative rulings. 7

Universal Processing Services of Wisconsin, LLC and Subsidiary Notes to Financial Statements Year Ended December 31, 2017 Subsequent Events The Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and/or disclosure through March 13, 2018, the date these financial statements were available to be issued. 3.

Goodwill The carrying value of goodwill at December 31, 2017 is approximately $1,908,000. The Company performed a qualitative assessment to determine if it is more likely than not that the Company’s fair value is less than its carrying amount. Based on its qualitative assessment, the Company determined that goodwill was not impaired at December 31, 2017 and no further assessment was required. 5. Customer Merchant Accounts The net carrying value of customer merchant accounts is approximately $760,000 which consists of approximately $2,806,000 of gross costs, net of accumulated amortization of approximately $2,046,000 at December 31, 2017. Customer merchant accounts are being amortized over 66 months. Total amortization expense of customer merchant accounts using the sum of the year’s digits was approximately $494,000. Total expected amortization expense for the next five fiscal years and thereafter is as follows: 8

Bank Note Payable, Net of Deferred Financing Costs In June 2015, the Company, Newtek Technology Solutions, Inc. (“NTS”) and Premier Payments LLC (“Premier”), all subsidiaries of Holdco, collectively as “Borrowers” entered into a Credit and Guarantee Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Goldman Sachs Bank USA which extended a multi draw term loan facility (the “Facility”) up to an aggregate principal amount of $38,000,000. In June 2017, the Company amended the terms of the Agreement to extend the term of the Facility to June 2021 as well as increase the aggregate principal amount of the Facility to $50,000,000. Furthermore, the amendment of the Agreement added banc-serv Partners, LLC (“banc-serv”) and Small Business Lending, LLC (“SBL”), which are both owned by Holdco’s parent, Newtek Business Services Corp. (“Newtek”), as Borrowers. Concurrent with the increase in the aggregate principal balance, the Company borrowed an additional $18,000,000 under the Facility. The total outstanding balance under the Facility as of December 31, 2017 was $40,000,000. The Borrowers are collectively liable for the outstanding balance under the Facility. All assets of the Borrowers are pledged as collateral under the Agreement and the Facility is guaranteed by Newtek. The Facility provides for monthly/quarterly interest only payments with total principal due at maturity. The Facility matures in June 2021. Borrowings under the facility are classified either as a “Base Rate Loan” or a “LIBOR Rate Loan” at the Company’s election. Each LIBOR Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding balance at a rate equal to (a) the greater of LIBOR or 50 basis points plus (b) 6%, and each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding balance at a rate equal to (y) the greater of the Prime Rate or 350 basis points, plus (z) 5%. The effective interest rate at December 31, 2017 was 7.69%. The Company may make principal payments within 24 months of the closing date and pay a prepayment premium based on a percentage of the principal outstanding as defined in the Agreement. After 24 months, principal may be repaid under no penalty. The Agreement requires certain restrictive covenants for which the Company is in compliance with as of December 31, 2017. At December 31, 2017, the Company had approximately $30,499,000 of total borrowings outstanding under the Facility. Interest expense and amortization of deferred financing costs for the year ended December 31, 2017 was approximately $2,085,000.

The Company’s fee payments for the 12-month period ended December 31, 2017, exceeded the minimum required amount under these agreements. The agreement expires July 2018. Litigation In 2013, the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) amended an existing complaint in the matter Federal Trade Commission v. WV Universal Management, LLC et al., in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida (the “Court”), to add UPS-WI as an additional defendant on one count of providing substantial assistance in violation of the Telemarketing Sales Rule. On November 18, 2014, the Court issued an Order granting the FTC’s motion for summary judgment against UPS-WI on the single count. Subsequently, the FTC filed motions for a permanent injunction and equitable monetary relief against UPS-WI and the other remaining defendants. Prior to the Court hearing on the motions, UPS-WI and the FTC reached a settlement on the FTC’s motion for a permanent injunction. On May 19, 2015, the Court entered an equitable monetary judgment against UPS-WI for $1,735,000. The $1,735,000 was fully expensed in 2014 by UPS-WI. On June 14, 2016, the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit vacated the Court’s order awarding joint and several liability for equitable monetary relief in the amount of $1,735,000 against UPS-WI, and remanded the case to the Court for findings of fact and conclusions of law as to whether and why UPS-WI should be jointly and severally liable for restitution, and in what amount, if any. On October 26, 2016, the Court entered an equitable monetary judgment against UPS-WI for $1,735,000. On December 13, 2017, the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit affirmed the Court’s order awarding joint and several liability for equitable monetary relief against UPS-WI. UPS-WI intends to file a petition for a writ of certiorari requesting that the United States Supreme Court review the judgment. In September 2014, UPS-WI instituted an action against a former independent sales agent in Wisconsin state court for, among other things, breach of contract. The former sales agent answered 11

Universal Processing Services of Wisconsin, LLC and Subsidiary Notes to Financial Statements Year Ended December 31, 2017 the complaint and filed counterclaims against UPS-WI. Following UPS-WI’s successful appeal of several of the court’s rulings, the action has been assigned to a new judge for further proceedings. UPS-WI intends to vigorously pursue its claims against the former sales agent and defend the counterclaims asserted. 12

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Universal Processing Services of Wisconsin, LLC We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Universal Processing Services of Wisconsin, LLC (the “Company”), which comprise the balance sheet as of December 31, 2016, and the related statements of income, member’s deficit, and cash flows for the year 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 audit. We conducted our audit 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 entity’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 entity’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 Universal Processing Services of Wisconsin, LLC as of December 31, 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Universal Processing Services of Wisconsin, LLC Notes to Financial Statements Year Ended December 31, 2016 1. Organization, Description of Business, and Basis of Presentation Universal Processing Services of Wisconsin, LLC (“UPS-WI”), was organized as a limited liability company (“LLC”) under the laws of the State of Wisconsin and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Newtek Business Services Holdco 1, Inc. (“Holdco”). As a limited liability company, the liability of Holdco is limited to its capital account.

The Company markets credit and debit card processing services, check approval services and ancillary processing equipment and software to merchants who accept credit cards, debit cards, checks and other non-cash forms of payment. 2. Significant Accounting Policies Use of Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates, by their nature, are based on judgment and available information. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the near term relate to the determination of the reserve for chargeback losses. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2015-03 “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.” This update requires that debt issuance costs be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the debt liability. The Company adopted this standard with respect to its Bank note payable. Financial Instruments The Company’s financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, residuals payable, notes receivable from a related party and a bank note payable. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and residuals payable approximate fair value due to their short term maturities. The carrying amounts of notes receivable from a related party and bank note payable approximate fair value due to the variable interest rate they carry. Cash The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions of high credit quality. As of December 31, 2016, cash deposits in excess of insured amounts totaled approximately $7,683,000. 6

Universal Processing Services of Wisconsin, LLC Notes to Financial Statements Year Ended December 31, 2016 Restricted Cash Under the terms of the processing agreement between UPS-WI and its processing banks, UPS-WI maintains cash accounts as reserves against chargeback losses. As the Company receives fees from the processing bank, a certain percentage is allocated to the cash reserve account. Inventory Inventory consists primarily of equipment to be installed in merchant locations to enable them to process electronic transactions. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market, which is determined on a FIFO (first in-first out) basis. Fixed Assets Fixed assets, which are comprised of telephone systems, software, website, computer equipment and leasehold improvements, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation of fixed assets is provided on a straight-line basis using estimated useful lives of the related assets. Amortization of leasehold improvements is provided on a straight-line basis using the lesser of the useful life of the asset, which generally is three to five years, or lease term. Goodwill and Customer Merchant Accounts Goodwill is not amortized but is instead subject to impairment testing, at least annually. Customer merchant accounts with finite lives are amortized over 66 months as discussed in Note 5. The Company considers the following to be some examples of indicators that may trigger an impairment review: (i) significant under-performance or loss of key contracts acquired in an acquisition relative to expected historical or projected future operating results; (ii) significant changes in the manner or use of the acquired assets or in the Company’s overall strategy with respect to the manner or use of the acquired assets or changes in the Company’s overall business strategy; (iii) significant negative industry or economic trends; (iv) increased competitive pressures; (v) a significant decline in the Company’s fair market value for a sustained period of time; and (vi) regulatory changes. In assessing the recoverability of the Company’s goodwill and customer merchant accounts, the Company must make assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of the respective assets. These include estimation of future cash flows, which is dependent on internal forecasts, estimation of the long- term rate of growth for the Company, the period over which cash flows will occur, and determination of the Company’s cost of capital. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and conclusion on impairment. Revenue Recognition Electronic Payment Processing Electronic payment processing and fee income is derived from the electronic processing of credit and debit card transactions that are authorized and captured through third-party networks. Typically, merchants are charged for these processing services as a percentage of each transaction dollar plus a flat fee per transaction. Certain merchant customers are charged miscellaneous fees, including fees for handling charge-backs or returns, monthly minimum fees, statement fees and fees for other miscellaneous services. Revenues derived from the electronic processing of MasterCard®, Visa® and Discover® sourced credit and debit card transactions are reported gross of amounts paid to sponsor banks. Interest Income 7

Universal Processing Services of Wisconsin, LLC Notes to Financial Statements Year Ended December 31, 2016 Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis, when earned, based on the current lending rate in place. Reserve for Losses on Merchant Accounts Disputes between a cardholder and a merchant periodically arise as a result of, among other things, cardholder dissatisfaction with merchandise quality or merchant services. Such disputes may not be resolved in the merchant’s favor. In these cases, the transaction is “charged back” to the merchant, which means the purchase price is refunded to the customer through the merchant’s acquiring bank and charged to the merchant. If the merchant has inadequate funds, the Company or, under limited circumstances, the Company and the acquiring bank, must bear the credit risk for the full amount of the transaction. The Company evaluates its risk for such transactions and estimates its potential loss for charge-backs based primarily on historical experience and other relevant factors. The Company records reserves for charge-backs and contingent liabilities when such amounts are deemed to be probable and estimable. The required reserves may change in the future due to new developments, including, but not limited to, changes in litigation or increased charge-back exposure as the result of merchant insolvency, liquidation, or other reasons. The required reserves are reviewed periodically to determine if adjustments are required. Electronic Payment Processing Costs Electronic payment processing costs consist principally of costs directly related to the processing of merchant sales volume, including interchange fees, Visa®, MasterCard® and Discover® dues and assessments, bank processing fees and costs paid to third-party processing networks. Such costs are recognized at the time the merchant transactions are processed or when the services are performed. Two of the most significant components of electronic processing expenses include interchange and assessment costs, which are set by the credit card associations. Interchange costs are passed on to the entity issuing the credit card used in the transaction and assessment costs are retained by the credit card associations. Interchange and assessment fees are billed primarily as a percentage of dollar volume processed and, to a lesser extent, as a per transaction fee. In addition to costs directly related to the processing of merchant sales volume, electronic payment processing costs also include residual expenses. Residual expenses represent fees paid to third-party sales referral sources. Residual expenses are paid in accordance with contracted terms. These are generally linked to revenues derived from merchants successfully referred to the Company and that begin using the Company for merchant processing services. Such residual expenses are recognized in the Company’s statement of income. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company partnered with two sponsor banks for substantially all merchant transactions. Substantially all merchant transactions were processed by one merchant processor. Income Taxes The Company is a limited liability company (“LLC”) and therefore pays no corporate taxes. The Company’s income, instead, passes through to its member. Accordingly, no liability for Federal, State and/or local income taxes has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements. As a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdco, the Company evaluated its tax positions at year end, and based on its analysis, determined that there were no uncertain tax positions. The Company’s U.S. Federal and State income tax returns prior to fiscal 2013 are closed and management continually evaluates expiring statutes of limitations, audits, proposed settlements, changes in tax law and new authoritative rulings. 8

Universal Processing Services of Wisconsin, LLC Notes to Financial Statements Year Ended December 31, 2016 Under the terms of an Independent Sales Organization Agreement and Member Services Provider Agreement between UPS-WI and one of their sponsoring banks, UPS-WI is required to pay monthly minimum fees of $10,000 during the term of the agreement. The Company exceeded the monthly minimum required amount under the agreement for the year ended December 31, 2016. The agreement renews automatically annually.

The Company’s fee payments for the 12-month period ended December 31, 2016, exceeded the minimum required amount under these agreements. The agreement expires July 2018. Litigation In 2013, the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) amended an existing complaint in the matter Federal Trade Commission v. WV Universal Management, LLC et al., pending in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida (the “Court”), to add UPS-WI, as an additional defendant on one count of providing substantial assistance in violation of the Telemarketing Sales Rule. On November 18, 2014, the Court issued an Order granting the FTC’s motion for summary judgment against UPS-WI on the single count. Subsequently, the FTC filed motions for a permanent injunction and equitable monetary relief against UPS-WI and the other remaining defendants. Prior to the Court hearing on the motions, UPS-WI and the FTC reached a settlement on the FTC’s motion for a permanent injunction. The Court granted the FTC’s motion for equitable relief against UPS-WI and the other remaining defendants, ordering that the remaining defendants pay approximately $1,735,000 in equitable monetary relief. This amount was deposited with the Court pending the outcome of an appeal of the judgement. On June 14, 2016, the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit set aside the Court’s judgment awarding joint and several liability for equitable monetary relief in the amount of approximately $1,735,000 against UPS-WI, and remanded the case to the Court for findings of fact and conclusions of law as to whether and why UPS-WI should be jointly and severally liable for restitution, and in what amount, if any. On October 18, 2016, the Court ordered that the $1,735,000 payment be returned to UPS-WI. On October 26, 2016, the Court entered an equitable monetary judgment against UPS-WI for approximately $1,735,000. UPS-WI has filed a notice of appeal of the judgment. The total $1,735,000 has been accrued and is included in the balance sheet in Accounts payable and accrued expenses. There is no current year income statement effect. In January 2014, NCMIC Finance Corporation (“NCMIC”) filed a complaint against the Company in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Iowa. The complaint asserted claims against the Company for breach of the UPS-WI and NCMIC agreement for the processing of credit card transactions, and seeks monetary relief. In April 2016, in order to avoid the cost of trial and any appeals, UPS-WI settled the matter for $200,000. The total $200,000 was paid during 2016 and is included in the statement of income in other general and administrative costs. In September 2014, UPS-WI filed an action in Wisconsin state court against a former independent sales agent and his company. The complaint alleges several causes of action including breach of contract. The defendant filed an answer and filed counterclaims against UPS-WI seeking monetary damages. The court granted certain aspects of defendants’ motions for summary judgment, 12

Universal Processing Services of Wisconsin, LLC Notes to Financial Statements Year Ended December 31, 2016 dismissing certain of the claims asserted by UPS-WI. The matter is presently stayed pending the Wisconsin Supreme Court’s ruling on matters under appeal. 13
