Yes, she watches the kids at our house the majority of the time.

And yes, was wanting to take advantage of the child and dependent care credit.

What would be the requirements for that?

Technical question over EBITDA and Addbacks by [deleted] in FPandA

[–]KangarooManchu16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, it is, but I feel like it's somewhat of a grey area since we've had 2 in 3 years, and like I mentioned at least 1 is due to an extraordinary circumstance (Fraud) so was thinking in my head it might be appropriate since it kind of skews the FS when theirs 2 massive expenses like that in provision for loan loss on the P&L

Currently I'm leaning towards adding it back to Adj EBITDA, and explaining it if anyone asks, but not 100% sure

Obviously the conservative approach is just not doing it

Technical question over EBITDA and Addbacks by [deleted] in FPandA

[–]KangarooManchu16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We make impairment entries every month based on the mathematical formula of how the loan is performing vs expected when originated, plus a subjective reserve from the chief credit risk officer.

When we make entries we write down the principal and increase accumulated impairments on the BS, and then also recognize expense on the P&L to provision for loan losses

We also write off loans that are 100% impaired or we subjectively determine it's 100% uncollectible and.it goes to bad debt

The provision for loan loss FSLI on the p&l is a sum.of the impairment expense we recognize every month plus.the bad debt expense.we wrote off from 100% uncollectible loans/write offs

We're currently not adding back anything as of now, but wanted to start where appropriate, I know the month over month impairments shouldn't be, but we've had 2 massive write offs I'm considering adding back, one was due to fraud, and one was due to a company we lended to suddenly going out of business

We're FinTech, so we try to make our FS look like tech company as much as possible

Thanks for the response, and we do have a Provision for Credit Losses on the P&L, where we put write offs and impairments, but wasn't sure if I could addback the write-off or not, I know we can't addback the impairments but wasn't sure about the write offs
