EXPLANATORY NOTE

On March 25, 2020, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued an order and guidance (collectively, the “Order”) providing regulatory relief to public companies whose operations may be affected by the novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”). The Order provided public companies with a 45-day extension to file certain disclosure reports, including their Annual Report on 10-K (“Annual Report”), that would otherwise have been due between March 1, 2020 and July 1, 2020.

Due to its operations being impacted by COVID-19, GreenBox POS (the “Company”) was unable to meet its filing deadline with respect to its Annual Report and on April 10, 2020 submitted a Current Report on Form 8-K in reliance upon the Order.

Due to the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), starting from early March 2020, the Company’s employees and external auditors have been asked to work remotely. As a result, the Company’s books and records have not been easily accessible and communication among internal financial staff and external auditors has been challenging, resulting in delay in preparation and completion of its consolidated financial statements. Based on the foregoing, on April 10, 2020, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K to avail itself of a 45-day extension to file this Form 10-K relying on the exemptions provided by the SEC Order. This Form 10-K is being filed in reliance on the SEC Order.

On May 3, 2018, Frank Yuan formally resigned, and Errez and Nisan were formally appointed the Company changed its name to GreenBox POS LLC.sole officers and sole directors of PubCo.

 

Below areOn April 12, 2018, pursuant to the namesVerbal Agreement, PubCo acquired the GreenBox Business and positionsassumed PrivCo’s liabilities per the terms of the Company’s executive officers and directors who were appointed effective asAgreement. The value of the May 3,assets acquired on April 12, 2018 closingwas $843,694, which excluded the Control Shares, which remain a PrivCo asset. The value of PrivCo’s assumed liabilities on April 12 was $589,078. The difference between assets and liabilities was $254,616, which PubCo booked as a “Gain on Bargain Purchase.” However, because we are using Reverse Acquisition accounting, PubCo subsequently recorded the gain as Paid in Capital.

From April 12, 2018 through January 4, 2020 (the “In Between Period”), because there was ambiguity regarding the validity of the stock purchase agreement.Verbal Agreement, PubCo filed required quarterly and annual reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission as if there had not been a Reverse Acquisition. During the In Between Period, PrivCo continued to operate as if it still owned the GreenBox Business, which included maintaining records of GreenBox Business financial transactions on PrivCo’s accounting software, and entering into contracts and agreements as PrivCo, while PubCo paid all expenses, including expenses related to PrivCo contracts entered into prior to and after April 12, 2018, as well as expenses incurred as a result of litigation resulting from disagreements between PrivCo and other parties.

By virtue of the payment of PrivCo’s litigation expenses by PubCo, by virtue of PubCo representing itself in press releases, as being the owner/operator of the GreenBox Business, and by virtue of the shared control of PrivCo’s bank accounts starting on April 12, 2018, both PubCo and PrivCo concluded that the Verbal Agreement was valid and the GreenBox Business Acquisition took place on April 12, 2018.

Reverse Acquisition Reporting Requirements

The GreenBox Parties filed a cross-complaint against the RB Capital Parties, alleging claims of fraud, breach of contract, tortious interference, and other, related claims. On or about December 15, 2019, the GreenBox Parties and RB Cap Parties resolved to negotiate a settlement and agreed in principal to settlements terms. The documentation of the settlement terms was underway as of February 3, 2020. This was dismissed by both parties on February 27, 2020.

On or about December 15, 2019, the GreenBox Parties and the Dahan Parties resolved to negotiate a settlement and agreed in principal to settlements terms.

Withholding Suit – On November 25, 2019, five companies (the “Plaintiffs”) filed a complaint against us, Global Payout, Inc., MTrac Tech Corporation and Cultivate Technologies, LLC (collectively the “Defendants”) in the Superior Court of the State of California. Plaintiffs filed suit to recover processed funds and processing fees alleged to be withheld illegally (collectively, the “Withholding Suit”). Pursuant to a mandatory arbitration clause in the controlling agreement, the parties to the Withholding Suit have agreed to arbitrate their claims. We do not dispute the funds owed; however, we do believe it’s within our rights to hold the funds, per the terms of agreements signed by Plaintiffs. We disagree with any allegations of any wrongdoing and will aggressively defend ourselves against the Withholding Suit. Ideally, we will settle this claim in the near term. While the results of this matter cannot be predicted with certainty, especially at this early stage, we believe that losses, if any, resulting from resolution of this matter will not have a materially adverse effect on operations or cash flow. This was dismissed by both parties as of March 30, 2020.

Revenue

Throughout 2018, we conducted numerous tests of our products and services, and began to sign up our initial customers. After a soft launch of the GreenBox Network during the last few days of June 2018, when we began processing transactions, we processed approximately $5,100,000 in completed transactions on behalf of merchants. We believe this accomplishment to be indicative of the validity of our proprietary blockchain-based systems, which are the foundation of the GreenBox Network, and indicative of our future potential.

Cost of Goods Sold

Our Cost of Goods Sold (“COGS”) for payment processing consists of various processing fees paid to Gateways, as well as commission payments to the Independent Sales Organizations (“ISO”) responsible for establishing and maintaining merchant relationships, from which the processing transactions ensue. For the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, our COGS associated with payment processing was $11,091,140 and $670,539, respectively, which included the absorption by us, of chargebacks, which was limited to 2018, as a promotional tool.

Critical Accounting PoliciesCRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in the our financial statements and the accompanying notes. The amounts of assets and liabilities reported on our balance sheet and the amounts of revenues and expenses reported for each of our fiscal periods are affected by estimates and assumptions.assumptions, which are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for revenue recognition, stock based compensation and the valuation of deferred taxes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The following critical accounting policies are significantly affected by judgments, assumptions and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements:

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provide guidance for presentation of revenue and for disclosure related to revenue recognition policies in financial statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Management believes the Company’s revenue recognition policies conform to ASC 606.As of December 31, 2018, the Company has not recognized any revenue.606.

 

The Company recognizes revenue when 1) it is realized or realizable and earned, 2) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, 3) delivery and performance has occurred, 4) there is a fixed or determinable sales price, and 5) collection is reasonably assured.

The Company generates revenue from payment processing services, licensing fees and equipment sales.

Payment processing revenue is based on a percentage of each transaction’s value and/or upon fixed amounts specified per each transaction or service and is recognized as such transactions or services are performed.

Licensing revenue is paid in advance and is recorded as unearned income, which is amortized monthly over the period of the licensing agreement.

Equipment revenue is generated from the sale of POS products, which is recognized when goods are shipped.

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, Income Taxes.“Income Taxes.” Under ASC 740, 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. 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. Management provides a valuation allowance for significant deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that such asset will not be recovered.

Item 9A – Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

 

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

 

Based on management's evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President concluded that, as a result of the material weaknesses described below, as of December 31, 2018,2019, our disclosure controls and procedures are not designed at a reasonable assurance level and are ineffective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The material weaknesses, which relate to internal control over financial reporting, that were identified are: 

 

(i) We did not have sufficient

a)

We did not have enough personnel in our accounting and financial reporting functions. As a result, we were not able to achieve adequate segregation of duties and were not able to provide for adequate reviewing of the financial statements. This control deficiency, which is pervasive in nature, results in a reasonable possibility that material misstatements of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

Management believes that the hiring of additional personnel who have the technical expertise and knowledge with the non-routine or technical issues we have encountered in the past will result in both proper recording of these transactions and a much more knowledgeable finance department as a whole. Due to the fact that our accounting staff consists of a ChiefPrincipal Financial Officer, a bookkeeper and external accounting consultants, additional personnel will also ensure the proper segregation of duties and provide more checks and balances within the department. Additional personnel will also provide the cross training needed to support us if personnel turnover issues within the department occur. We believe this will eliminate or greatly decrease any control and procedure issues we may encounter in the future.

 

We will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.

 

(ii) Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

b)

Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Exchange Act that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2018 that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

(iii) Management's report on internal control over financial reporting.

c)

Management's report on internal control over financial reporting.

 

Our managementManagement is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 20182019 for the reasons discussed above.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

ORGANIZATIONOrganization

 

GreenBox POS (“GreenBox”(the “Company” or “PubCo”) is a tech company formed with the “Company”)intent of developing, marketing and selling innovative blockchain-based payment solutions, which the Company believes will cause favorable disruption in the payment solutions marketplace. The Company’s core focus is to develop and monetize disruptive blockchain-based applications, integrated within an end-to-end suite of financial products, capable of supporting a multitude of industries. The Company’s proprietary, blockchain-based systems are designed to facilitate, record and store a virtually limitless volume of tokenized assets, representing cash or data, on a secured, immutable blockchain-based ledger.

The Company was originallyformerly known as ASAP Expo, Inc (“ASAP”), which was incorporated on April 10, 2007 under the laws of the State of NevadaNevada. On January 4, 2020, PubCo and GreenBox POS LLC, a Washington limited liability company (“PrivCo”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”), to memorialize a verbal agreement (the “Verbal Agreement”) entered into on April 12, 2018, by and among PubCo (the buyer) and PrivCo, which was formed on August 10, 2017 (the seller). On April 12, 2018, pursuant to the Verbal Agreement, PubCo acquired PrivCo’s blockchain gateway and payment system business, point of sale system business, delivery business and kiosk business, bank and merchant accounts, as ASAP Expo, Inc. Prior to July 2011,well as all intellectual property related thereto (the “GreenBox Business”). As consideration for the investment banking services division wasGreenBox Business, on April 12, 2018, PubCo assumed PrivCo’s liabilities that had been incurred in the core businessnormal course of ASAP Expo. ASAP Expo helped smallthe GreenBox Business (the “GreenBox Acquisition”).

For accounting and medium sized businesses raise fundsreporting purposes, PubCo deemed the GreenBox Acquisition a “Reverse Acquisition” with PrivCo designated the “accounting acquirer” and promote business through capital markets. In July 2011, ASAP Expo transitioned its core business to providing real estate advisory services from investment banking advisory services for Chinese companies and high net worth individuals.PubCo designated the “accounting acquiree.”

Significant Transactions

 

On March 23, 2018, the then controlling shareholder and then sole officer and sole director of PubCo, Frank Yuan, the controlling shareholder of ASAP Expo, Inc.,along with his wife, Vicky PMW Yuan, entered into a stock purchase agreement whereby it soldPurchase Agreement with PrivCo (the “SPA”).

Pursuant to the SPA, Frank Yuan agreed to convert a portion of a line of credit that he had previously issued to PubCo, in exchange for 144,445,000 shares of ASAP Expo Inc.'sPubCo’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Control Block”). The Yuans agreed to sell the Control Block to PrivCo for a consideration of $500,000: $250,000 in cash and $250,000 in PubCo shares to be issued within 30 days of the completion of the SPA (the “Shares Due”), which were subsequently paid by PrivCo.

On April 12, 2018, all business being conducted at that time by PubCo (the “ASAP Business”) was transferred from PubCo to ASAP Property Holdings Inc., a company owned and operated by Frank Yuan (“Holdings”). In consideration for the ASAP Business, Holdings assumed all liabilities related to the ASAP Business.

On April 12, 2018, following the SPA being entered into and the ASAP Business being transferred to Holdings, Errez and Nisan were the sole acting officers and sole acting directors of PubCo.

On April 12, 2018, pursuant to the Verbal Agreement, PubCo acquired PrivCo’s blockchain gateway and payment system business, point of sale system business, delivery business and kiosk business, and bank and merchant accounts, as well as all intellectual property related thereto (the “GreenBox Business”). As consideration for the GreenBox Business, on April 12, 2018 PubCo assumed nearly all PrivCo’s liabilities (the “Assumed Liabilities”) that had been incurred in the normal course of GreenBox Business (collectively, the “GreenBox Acquisition”).

The value of the GreenBox Business assets on April 12, 2018 was $843,694, which excluded the Control Shares, which remained with PrivCo. The value of the Assumed Liabilities on April 12 was $589,078, which excluded $185,000 of a $300,000 convertible promissory note issued by PrivCo to RB Capital Partners. The difference between assets and liabilities was $254,616, which PubCo booked as a “Gain on Bargain Purchase.” However, because we are using Reverse Acquisition accounting, we recorded the gain as Paid in Capital.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)

Name Change

On May 3, 2018, PubCo formally changed its name to GreenBox POS LLC, representing 90% of ASAP Expo, Inc.'s issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Pursuant to this transaction, on April 12, 2018, ASAP Expo, Inc. entered into an asset purchase agreement whereby it assigned the entirety of its assets to ASAP Property Holdings, Inc. in consideration of assumption of the entirety of its liabilities.

The transaction contemplated in the March 23, 2018 stock purchase agreement was closed on May 3, 2018, and a change of control of ASAP Expo, Inc. was effected. Thereafter, the Companythen subsequently changed its name to “GreenBoxGreenBox POS LLC”on December 13, 2018. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to “the Company,” “we,” “our”, “us” and subsequently“PubCo” refer to “GreenBoxGreenBox POS. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to “PrivCo” or the “Private Company” refer to GreenBox POS LLC, a limited liability company, formed in the state of Washington.

 

Since April 12, 2018, the Company’s operations have consistedBasis of providing managementPresentation and business development services.Consolidation

 

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The financial statements include the combined accounts of Greenbox POS, LLC, a Nevada Corporation.PubCo and PrivCo. All amounts are presented in U.S. Dollars unless otherwise stated. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.(“GAAP”).

 

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, cash on deposit with banks, and highly liquid debt investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. The Company has cash equivalents of $nil and $nil as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

GOING CONCERNGoing Concern

 

As of December 31, 2018,2019, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash of $nil, has incurred losses and has accumulated a significant deficit. During the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company has not yet generated any revenues, and$254,617, has incurred a net loss from continuing operations of $53,298.$1,425,058 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, and has accumulated a deficit of $3,457,653 as of September 30, 2019. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Additionally, as the GreenBox ecosystem grows, substantially larger volumes of working capital financing will be required to support our platform’s growth. The Company intends to raise additional capital through private placements of debt and equity securities, but there can be no assurance that these funds will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or will be sufficient to enable the Company to fully complete its development activities or sustain operations. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional funds, itwe will have to develop and implement a plan to further extend payables, reduce overhead or scale back its currentour business plan until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations. There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful.

 

Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”),GAAP, which contemplate our continuation of the Company as a going concern, and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Restatement

On April 12, 2018, pursuant to a verbal agreement (the “Verbal Agreement”), PubCo acquired PrivCo’s blockchain gateway and payment system business, point of sale system business, delivery business and kiosk business, and bank and merchant accounts, as well as all intellectual property related thereto (the “GreenBox Business”). As consideration for the GreenBox Business, on April 12, 2018, PubCo assumed PrivCo’s liabilities that had been incurred in the normal course of the GreenBox Business (collectively, the “GreenBox Acquisition”).

From April 12, 2018 through January 4, 2020 (the “In Between Period”), because there was ambiguity regarding the validity of the Verbal Agreement, PubCo filed required quarterly and annual reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission as if there had not been a Reverse Acquisition. During the In Between Period, PrivCo continued to operate as if it still owned the GreenBox Business, which included maintaining records of GreenBox Business financial transactions on PrivCo’s accounting software, and entering into contracts and agreements as PrivCo, while PubCo paid all expenses, including expenses related to PrivCo contracts entered into prior to April 12, 2018 and after April 12, 2018, as well as expenses incurred as a result of litigation resulting from disagreements between PrivCo and other parties. During the In Between Period, PubCo represented itself in press releases, as being the owner/operator of the GreenBox Business. Additionally, from April 12, 2018 through approximately December 31, 2018, PubCo and PrivCo shared control of PrivCo’s bank accounts, and on approximately January 1, 2019, PubCo assumed control of PrivCo’s bank accounts.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)

By virtue of the payment of PrivCo’s litigation expenses by PubCo, by virtue of PubCo representing itself in press releases, as being the owner/operator of the GreenBox Business, and by virtue of the shared control of PrivCo’s bank accounts starting on April 12, 2018, both PubCo and PrivCo concluded that the Verbal Agreement was valid and the GreenBox Business asset acquisition took place on April 12, 2018.

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist ofOn January 4, 2020, PubCo and PrivCo entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”), to memorialize the Verbal Agreement. For accounting and reporting purposes, PubCo deemed the GreenBox Acquisition a note receivable from related party“Reverse Acquisition” with PrivCo designated the “accounting acquirer” and interest receivables from related party, convertible notes payable and accrued liabilities. The fair value of these financial instruments approximate their carrying amounts reported inPubCo designated the balance sheets due to the short term maturity of these instruments.“accounting acquiree.”

 

Fair Value Measurements

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value MeasurementsBecause PubCo previously filed quarterly and Disclosures, defines fair value, establishesannual reports for 2018 with the Securities and Exchange Commission as if there had not been a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputsReverse Acquisition, PubCo was required to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 - Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observablefile amended Form 10-Qs for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly,periods ending June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2018, and an amended Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2018 (collectively the “Amended Reports”). These Amended Reports differ substantially from previously filed reports in that PubCo’s financials are presented on a combined basis with PrivCo. Additionally, the full termprevious business operations of the financial instrument.

Level 3 - InputsPubCo prior to the valuation methodologyApril 12, 2018 are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

The Company accountstherefore filed, on February 7, 2020, an amended 10-K (“Amended 10-K”) to the Company’s audited financial statements for convertible promissory notes in accordance with ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options. The Company evaluates embedded conversion features within convertible debt to determine whether the embedded conversion feature should be bifurcated from the host instrument and accounted for as a derivative at fair value with changes in fair value recordedyear ended December 31, 2018, contained in the Income Statement. IfCompany’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, originally filed with the conversion feature does not require recognitionSEC on April 16, 2019 (the “2018 Report”) to restate the Company’s financial statements and revise related disclosures. As a substantial part of a bifurcated derivative, the convertible debt instrument is evaluated for consideration of any beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) requiring separate recognition. WhenAmended 10-K was amended and/or restated, the Company records a BCF,presented the intrinsic valueentire text of the BCF is recorded2018 Report, as a debt discount againstamended and/or restated by the face amountAmended 10-K.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

USE OF ESTIMATES

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S.the GAAP requires management to make 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

LEASESReclassification

 

LeaseCertain prior year amounts have been reclassified for office space at our corporate headquarters is classified as an operating lease in accordanceconsistency with ASC 840, Leases. Rent expense is recognizedthe current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on a straight-line basis over the termsreported results of the leases and, accordingly, we record the cumulative difference betweenoperations or cash rent payments and the recognition of rent expense as a deferred rent liability. When an operating lease includes lease incentives, such as a rent abatements or leasehold improvement allowances, or requires fixed escalations of the minimum lease payments, the aggregate rental expense, including such incentives or increases, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.flows.

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, cash on deposit with banks, and highly liquid debt investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. The Company has cash equivalents of $0 and $45,854, excluding cash held for settlement liabilities, as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

 

Restricted Cash – The Company’s technology enables transactional blockchain ledger to instantly reflect all transactions details. The final cash settlement of each transaction is subject to the gateway policies. This final disposition takes days to weeks to complete in accordance with these policies. Each policy is an integral part of the transactional contracts between the Company, its Independent Sales Organizations (ISOs), its agents, and the merchant clients. While the ledger reflects a held balance for the merchant, in reserve or payment in arears, the Company holds funds in a trust account as cash deemed restricted. The Company’s books reflect such restricted cash as a restricted cash and trust accounts, and the sum balance due to merchants and ISOs as settlement liabilities.

Cash Due from Gateways and Payment Processing Liabilities

The Company’s primary source of revenues continues to be payment processing services for its merchant clients. When such merchant makes a sale, the process of receiving the payment card information, engaging the banks for transferring the proceeds to the merchant’s account via digital gateways, and recording the transaction on a blockchain ledger are the activities for which the Company gets to collect fees.

In 2019 the Company utilized several gateways. The gateways have strict guidelines pertaining to scheduling of the release of funds to merchants based on several criteria, such as return and chargeback history, associated risk for the specific business vertical, average transaction amount and so on. In order to mitigate processing risks, these policies determine reserve requirements and payment in arear strategy. While reserve and payment in arear restrictions are in effect for a merchant payout, the Company records gateway debt against these amounts until released.

Therefore, the total gateway balances reflected in the Company’s books represent the amount owed to the Company for processing – these are funds from transactions processed and not yet distributed.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

The Company generates revenue from payment processing services, licensing fees and equipment sales.

Payment processing revenue is based on a percentage of each transaction’s value and/or upon fixed amounts specified per each transaction or service and is recognized as such transactions or services are performed.

Licensing revenue is paid in advance and is recorded as unearned income, which is amortized monthly over the period of the licensing agreement.

Equipment revenue is generated from the sale of POS products, which is recognized when goods are shipped.

Accounts Receivables from Fines and Fees from Merchants

The fines and penalties charged to the Company’s merchants is a normal course of business and historically, the Company has not generated any revenues from operations.had more than 90% collections success rate.   These fees and penalties represent certain chargebacks which are at fault by the Company’s merchants and are imposed as the merchant agreement between the Company and the merchant.  The Company has legal rights under the merchant agreement to claim the chargeback.  These chargebacks, fees, and fines are earned and delivered because the Company has been “chargebacked” by the Gateways and the Company has legal rights under the agreement to claim this against the merchants.

 

INCOME TAXESIn end of Q3 2019, GreenBox received constructive notice of potential violations of its Terms of Service by a merchant, The Good People Farms (“TGPF”).   An ongoing audit and investigation of this account resulted in the discovery of a number of violations GreenBox believes TGPF is responsible for, including but not limited to violations of VISA, Mastercard, and American Express’s rules.

This investigation is ongoing, but initial results indicate that excessively high chargeback percentages are connected with fraudulent activity and / or transaction laundering. These issues lead to the implementation of aggressive bank reserves, stunting GreenBox’s ability to conduct business and contributed to undetermined consequential damages. GreenBox promptly terminated the merchant account and placed all processed funds on reserve.

Although the investigation is ongoing, GreenBox estimates that the total amount of fees, fines, and chargebacks are currently $9,441,718.  The Company has provided for an allowance for bad debt of $6,665,031 on the gross balance of $9,441,718 bringing to net balance of $2,776,687.   To date, GreenBox has successfully recouped $840,739.33 (collected in 2019).  The Company expects to recoup at minimum approximately $2.8M in fiscal year 2020.   The Company may assess $100,000 per fraudulent transactions but the Company used $5,000 per transaction to calculate the fees and fines.

The Company recorded net balance of $2,776,687 as other income in the statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Bad Debt

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses from the inability of customers to make required payments. The allowance for doubtful accounts is evaluated periodically based on the aging of accounts receivable, the financial condition of customers and their payment history, historical write-off experience and other assumptions, such as current assessment of economic conditions.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed primarily using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to eight years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the related assets or the lease term. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. For assets sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any related gain or loss is reflected in income for the period.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company utilizes ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure, for valuing financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. The guidance also establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. The guidance establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

Level 2. Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

The Company’s financial instruments consisted of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, advances to due to or from affiliated companies, notes payable to officers.  The estimated fair value of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to or from affiliated companies, and notes payable approximates its carrying amount due to the short maturity of these instruments.

The table below describes the Company’s valuation of financial instruments using guidance from ASC 820-10:

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements, net of operating loss carry forwards and credits, by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is not more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized.  Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities.

 

EARNINGS PER SHARELong-Lived Asset Impairments

The Company reviews long-lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets, for impairment when events or changes in business conditions indicate that their carrying value may not be recovered, and at least annually. The Company considers assets to be impaired and writes them down to estimated fair value if expected associated undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amounts. Fair value is the present value of the associated cash flows.

Earnings Per Share

 

A basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the year. Dilutive earnings per share include the effect of any potentially dilutive debt or equity under the treasury stock method, if including such instruments is dilutive. The Company’s diluted earnings/loss per share is the same as the basic earnings/loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, as there are no potential shares outstanding that would have a dilutive effect.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Leases

 

In July 2017,Prior to January 1, 2019, the Company accounted for leases under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 840, Accounting for Leases. Effective from January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the guidance of ASC 842, Leases, which requires an entity to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for virtually all leases.

On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing transactions. ASC 842 requires that lessees recognize right of use assets and lease liabilities calculated based on the present value of lease payments for all lease agreements with terms that are greater than twelve months.

ASC 842 distinguishes leases as either a finance lease or an operating lease that affects how the leases are measured and presented in the statement of operations and statement of cash flows. ASC 842 supersedes nearly all existing lease accounting guidance under GAAP issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”(“FASB”) including ASC Topic 840, Leases.

For operating leases, we calculated right of use assets and lease liabilities based on the present value of the remaining lease payments as of the date of adoption using the IBR as of that date.

The adoption of ASC 842 resulted in recording an adjustment to operating lease right of use assets and operating lease liabilities of liabilities of $229,639 and $234,045, respectively as of December 31, 2019. The difference between the operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities at transition represented tenant improvements, and indirect costs that was derecognized. The adoption of ASC 842 did not materially impact our results of operations, cash flows, or presentation thereof.

Recently Adopted Accounting Updates

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) (“ASU 2017-11”). ASU 2017-11 changes the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down-round features. The amendments require entities that present earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with Topic 260 to recognize the effect of the down round feature when triggered with the effect treated as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common shareholders in basic EPS. The new standard is effective for nonpublic business entities fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted for all entities, including adoption in an interim period. The new standard is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this accounting standard update.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize “right of use”on the balance sheet assets and liabilities for all leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. Consistent with prior GAAP, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee will depend primarily on its classification as a finance or operating lease. However, unlike prior GAAP—which required only finance (formerly capital) leases to be recognized on the balance sheet—the new ASU requires both types of leases to be recognized on the balance sheet. The ASU requires additional quantitativetook effect for public companies for fiscal years, and qualitativeinterim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. This standard can be applied at the beginning of the earliest period presented using the modified retrospective approach, which includes certain practical expedients that an entity may elect to apply, including an election to use certain transition relief. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases and ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, which make improvements to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842 and allow entities to not restate comparative periods in transition to ASC 842 and instead report the comparative periods under ASC 840.

The adoption of ASC 842 resulted in recording an adjustment to operating lease right of use assets and operating lease liabilities of liabilities of $229,639 and $234,045, respectively as of December 31, 2019. The difference between the operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities at transition represented tenant improvements, and indirect costs that was derecognized. The adoption of ASC 842 did not materially impact our results of operations, cash flows, or presentation thereof.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The standard removes, modifies, and adds certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. While the Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effects of this standard on the consolidated financial statement footnote disclosures aboutstatements, the leases, significant judgments madeCompany plans to adopt ASU No. 2018-13 in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, coinciding with the standard’s effective date, and expects the impact from this standard to be immaterial.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract. This standard aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). The Company’s accounting for the service element of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract is not affected by the proposed amendments and will continue to be expensed as incurred in accordance with existing guidance. This standard does not expand on existing disclosure requirements except to require a description of the nature of hosting arrangements that are service contracts. This standard is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those leases and amounts recognized in the financial statements about those leases. The effective date will be fiscal periodsyears, beginning after December 15, 2019.

NOTE 4 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

At December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, GreenBox was owed $0 and $20,881 from affiliated companies in which GreenBox’s officers are also owners and officers. The advance has no written note, is non-interest bearing and payable on demand to the Company and expected to be paid within one year.

The Company had a revolving line of credit totaling $1,800,000 with Frank Yuan, CEO and Jerome Yuan, his son. The line of credit bore interest at 6% per annum and was due upon demand, as amended.  On December 31, 2014, the convertible note was amended to waive the right of conversion and was to be used as a line of credit. On April 12, 2018, Frank Yuan converted $144,445 of the line of credit to 144,445,000 shares. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company incurred interest expense totaling $3,333 and $25,964 in connection with the Line. The balance of the credit line as of December 31, 2018 was $0 and the accrued interest on the line of credit was $0. The balance of the credit line as of December 31, 2017 was $212,140 and the accrued interest was $32,100 and were reclassed to current liabilities of discontinued operations.

On April 12, 2018, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement whereby it assigned the entirety of its assets to ASAP Property Holdings, Inc., an affiliated entity owned and operated by Frank Yuan, in consideration of assumption of the entirety of its liabilities.

On August 7, 2018, in anticipation of a merger, the Company entered into a Promissory Note with GreenBox POS, whereby GreenBox POS received $250,000 to be used to facilitate business operations in anticipation of transferring such operations from GreenBox POS to the Company. GreenBox POS promised to pay the Company $250,000 plus interest at maturity (the “Note Receivable”). GreenBox POS is an affiliated company. The Note Receivable bears interest at a rate of 7.25% per annum and matures following the closing of the transaction. As of December 31, 2018, the balance of the Note Receivable was $250,000 and the balance of interest receivable was $6,275. This is a related party loan from the Company to GreenBox POS in anticipation of a transaction between the two entities. As the transaction has not yet closed, the loan has not yet matured.

On September 20, 2018, the Company and the Company and a related entity entered into a Definitive Material Agreement pursuant to which the Company will be assigned any and all assets related to the affiliated company’sPrivCo’s blockchain gateway and payment system business, point of sale system business, delivery business and kiosk business, (collectively, the “Business”), and bank and merchant accounts, as well as all intellectual property related thereto owned by(the “GreenBox Business”). As consideration for the Seller in consideration of assuming any and allGreenBox Business, on April 12, 2018, PubCo assumed PrivCo’s liabilities incident to the operation of the Business that havehad been incurred in the normal course of business. The transfer has not been effected as of year end as the Company had not finalizedGreenBox Business (collectively, the transaction, see subsequent event footnote. “GreenBox Acquisition”).

 

AsFor accounting and reporting purposes, PubCo deemed the GreenBox Acquisition a “Reverse Acquisition” with PrivCo designated the “accounting acquirer” and PubCo designated the “accounting acquiree.”

The value of December 31, 2018, the Company is owed $736,000assets acquired and liabilities assumed was $843,694 and $589,078, respectively, on April 12, 208.

SETTLEMENT PROCESSING

The Company’s proprietary blockchain-based technology serves as the settlement engine for all transactions within the Company’s ecosystem. The blockchain ledger provides a robust and secure platform to log immense volumes of immutable transactional records in real time. Generally speaking, blockchain is a distributed ledger that uses digitally encrypted keys to verify, secure and record details of each transaction conducted within an ecosystem. Unlike general blockchain-based systems, GreenBox uses proprietary, private ledger technology to verify every transaction conducted within the GreenBox ecosystem. The verification of transaction data comes from trusted partners, all of whom have been extensively vetted by us.

GreenBox facilitates all financial elements of our closed-loop ecosystem and we act as the administrator for all related accounts. Using our TrustGateway technology, we seek authorization and settlement for each transaction from Gateways to the issuing bank responsible for the credit/debit card used in the transaction. When the Gateway settles the transaction, our TrustGateway technology composes a chain of blockchain instructions to our ledger manager system.

When consumers use credit/debit cards to pay for transactions with merchants who use our ecosystem, the transaction starts with the consumer purchasing tokens from us. The issuance of tokens is accomplished when we load a virtual wallet with a token, which then transfers credits to the merchant’s wallet on a dollar for dollar basis, after which the merchant releases its goods or services to the consumer. These transfers take place instantaneously and seamlessly, allowing the transaction experience to seem like any other ordinary credit/debit card transaction to the consumer and merchant.

While our blockchain ledger records transaction details instantaneously, the final cash settlement of each transaction can take days to weeks, depending upon contract terms between us and the gateways we use, between us and our ISOs, and between us and/or our ISOs and merchants who use our services. In the case where we have received transaction funds, but not yet paid a merchant or an ISO, we hold funds in either a trust account or as cash deemed restricted within our operating accounts. We record the total of such funds as Cash held for Settlements – a Current Asset. Of these funds, we record the sum balance due to Merchants and ISOs as Settlement Liabilities to Merchants and Settlement Liabilities to ISOs, respectively.

During the first 180 days, the Company is allowed to prepay the note and all accrued interest in full by paying an increasing prepayment percentage, which starts at 110%a discounted rate of the outstanding principal and interest and increasing by 5% every 30 days (110% from 0-30 days, 115% from 31-60 days, 120% from 61-90 days, 125% from 91-120, 130% from 121-150 days, and 135% from 151-180 days).

The Vista Note incurred a onetime interest charge of 8%, which was recorded at issuance, and was due upon payback of the Vista Note. The Vista Note included an original issue discount of $125,000, netting the balance received by PubCo from Vista at $375,000. The Vista transaction included commitment fees, which took the form of an obligation by PubCo to issue Vista 25,0000 shares and a four-year warrant to purchase 125,000 shares (the “Commitment Shares”) which are only provided in the event of default. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, as defined in the Vista Note, the conversion price shall become equal to $4.50.a 65% of the lowest traded price for the Company’s common stock in the 25 consecutive trading days preceding the notice of conversion and the balance due shall be multiplied by 130% (the “Default Provision”).

Derivative financial instruments, as defined in ASC 815, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities”, consist of financial instruments or other contracts that contain a notional amount and one or more underlying (e.g. interest rate, security price or other variable), require no initial net investment and permit net settlement. Derivative financial instruments may be free-standing or embedded in other financial instruments. Further, derivative financial instruments are initially, and subsequently, measured at fair value and recorded as liabilities or, in rare instances, assets.

DERIVATIVE LIABILITY (continued)

The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the embedded conversion option and warrants at their fair values as of the inception date of the agreement and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value is recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense for each reporting period at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification. As a result of entering into warrant agreements, for which such instruments contained a variable conversion feature with no floor, the Company has adopted a sequencing policy in accordance with ASC 815-40-35-12 whereby all future instruments may be classified as a derivative liability with the exception of instruments related to share-based compensation issued to employees or directors.

Based on ASC 815, the Company determined that the convertible debt contained embedded derivatives and valued the derivative using the Black-Scholes method. Estimating fair values of derivative financial instruments requires the development of significant and subjective estimates (such as volatility, estimated life and interest rates) that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal and external market factors. In addition, option-based techniques are highly volatile and sensitive to changes in the trading market price of our common stock, which has a high-historical volatility. Since derivative financial instruments are initially and subsequently carried at fair values, the Company’s operating results will reflect the volatility in these estimate and assumption changes.

The Company performs valuation of derivative instruments at the end of each reporting period. The fair value of derivative instruments is recorded and shown separately under current liabilities as these instruments can be converted anytime. Changes in fair value are recorded in the consolidated statement of income under other income (expenses).

INCOME TAXES (continued)

The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in ASC 740. Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had federal and California net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $2.4 million. The federal and California net operating loss carryforwards will expire at various dates from 2026 through 2028; however, $2.4 million of the Federal operating loss does not expire and will be carried forward indefinitely.

 

As of December 31, 2018, the principal balance of the November 26 Note was $200,000,2019 and accrued interest on the Convertible Note was $2,367. During the period ended December 31, 2018, the Company recognized $2,367maintained full valuation allowance for net operating loss carryforward deferred tax asset. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in interest expense related towhich those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the Convertible Note.scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be reduced if estimates of future taxable income are reduced.

 

The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return and files tax returns in various state and local jurisdictions. The statutes of limitations for its consolidated federal income tax returns are open for years 2016 and after, and state and local income tax returns are open for years 2015 and after.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (continued)

The following are certain transactions between the Company and the Haller Companies:

o

MTrac Agreement – On or about May 4, 2018, Sky entered into a two year, Associate/Referral Agreement-E-Commerce with MTrac, wherein Sky agreed to promote MTrac’s solution payment platform (which is based on the GreenBox platform) and related services; to provide new sales, sales leads, introductions to merchants and ISOs, and other potential customers of MTrac’s services, for which Sky receives ongoing commissions from all credit card transactions processed as a result of new business generated by Sky for MTrac. Most services provided under this contract are executed by Sky’s majority owned subsidiary, Charge Savvy, LLC (see Charge Savvy, LLC below). The agreement noted MTrac’s license of GreenBox’s payment processing technology and contained terms whereby Sky could (but was not required to) refer certain customers to MTrac in exchange for various referral fees. Sky never referred customers to MTrac, and therefore, did not collect, and is not collecting, any referral fees from MTrac.

Kenneth Haller and the Haller Companies (continued)

o

Sky Financial & Intelligence, LLC – Haller owns 100% of Sky Financial & Intelligence LLC (“Sky”), a Wyoming limited liability company, and serves as its sole Managing Member. Sky is a strategic merchant services company that focuses on high risk merchants and international credit card processing solutions. In 2018, Sky was using GreenBox’s QuickCard payment system as its main payment processing infrastructure, through Sky’s relationship with MTrac (see Sky - MTrac Agreement above). It was through this successful relationship, that we came to know Haller and the Haller Network. Realizing that the Haller Network and Haller’s unique skill set was highly complementary to our business objectives, we commenced discussions to retain Haller through his consulting firm, Sky, for a senior role, directly responsible for growing GreenBox’s operations. Subsequently, in November 2018, Haller was appointed as our Senior Vice President of Payment Systems, for a monthly consulting fee of $10,000, paid to Sky (“Haller Consulting Fee”). This relationship was referenced in press releases as GreenBox’s “acquisition of Sky MIDs Technologies” (see Sky MIDs below). We accrued and/or paid Haller $55,365 in the quarter ending December 31, 2018, which included $30,000 in consulting fees and $23,365 in travel and relocation expense reimbursement. As our relationship with Haller / Sky is non-exclusive, Haller and the Haller Companies provide services to other companies, including those listed below. Any revenue generated by Haller and/or the Haller Companies through these other relationships is in addition to the Haller Consulting Fee.

■  

Charge Savvy, LLC – Sky owns 68.4% of Charge Savvy, LLC (“Charge Savvy”), an Illinois limited liability company. Haller serves as one of three Managing Members of Charge Savvy, along with Higher Ground Capital, LLC (owns 14%), and Jeff Nickel (owns 17.4%). It is through Charge Savvy, that the Haller Network is most visible as part of our operations, as Charge Savvy is the ISO through which revenue generated from Haller Network Agents is processed, under a contract between Sky and MTrac, who in turn, has a contract with us. The three managing members of Charge Savvy own the same percentages of Cultivate (see below), as they do Charge Savvy.

■  

Cultivate, LLC – Sky owns 68.4% of Cultivate, LLC (“Cultivate”), an Illinois limited liability company, and serves as one of three Managing Members, along with Higher Ground Capital, LLC (owns 14%), and Jeff Nickel (owns 17.4%). When Cultivate was first formed, it was the licensor of certain proprietary point of sale software, retail point of sale operations, and complementary support of Cultivate’s software and related hardware for on-site credit and debit card processing. Subsequently, Cultivate the entity became exclusively a software provider, ceasing all service and support operations. Eventually certain beneficial aspects of the Cultivate software functionality were integrated into QuickCard, then upgraded and replaced with certain updates. On or about May 4, 2018, Cultivate entered into a two year, Associate/Referral Agreement-E-Commerce with MTrac, wherein Cultivate agreed to promote MTrac’s solution payment platform and related services; to provide new sales, leads, merchants, ISO Agents, and other potential customers of MTrac services, for which Cultivate receives ongoing commissions from all credit card transactions processed as a result of new business generated by Cultivate for MTrac, who in turn has a contract with us. The Associate/Referral Agreement-E-Commerce between Cultivate and MTrac noted MTrac’s license of GreenBox’s payment processing technology, and contained terms whereby Cultivate could (but was not required to) refer certain customers to MTrac in exchange for various referral fees. Cultivate never referred customers to MTrac, and therefore, did not collect, and is not collecting, any referral fees from MTrac.

Haller Commissions – Under a verbal agreement in Spring 2018, we offered Haller commissions on any referrals that resulted in new business for the Company (“Haller Commissions”). Under this agreement, Haller introduced us to three merchants who became three of the first merchants to use our system. Under the verbal agreement, we paid Haller commissions from transactions processed by these three merchants, summing to approximately $210 in June 2018, $8,396 in July 2018 and $321 in August 2018. In or about September 2018, we commenced discussions with Haller to join our management team and discontinued paying Haller commissions related to these three merchants.

o

GreenBox, Cultivate and MTrac Agreement – On or about December 17, 2018, PubCo entered into a 5-year exclusive three-party license agreement with MTrac and Cultivate (see Section E. MTrac above). The three Managing Members of Cultivate and Charge Savvy, owning the same percentages in each entity, subsequently decided to collect all revenue through Charge Savvy instead of Cultivate.

Kenneth Haller and the Haller Companies (continued)

o

Sky Mids –Previous references in press releases issued by PubCo in or about August 2018 regarding a “Sky Mids Acquisition” are references to the non-exclusive working relationship between PrivCo (and subsequently, PubCo) and Sky / Haller. The designation “Sky MIDs” was a colloquial reference to Sky, based upon a Sky-owned and operated website, which is no longer in use. While an acquisition of Sky has not formally been executed, nor have we (nor subsequently, PubCo) executed a formal engagement with Haller nor Sky, previous statements regarding the nature of our relationship with Sky Mids, which include our beliefs in the advantages of this relationship, accurately represent the working relationship between the Company and Sky / Haller.

o

Verbal Agreement – As part of Haller’s remuneration, the Company and Haller have a verbal agreement for Haller to be issued approximately 14 to 18 million shares of the Company’s stock. While a formalized remuneration agreement has not yet been executed as of February 3, 2020, the Company does not foresee the issuance to be dilutive, as PrivCo will likely surrender an equal number of shares to PubCo, as a means of compensating PubCo for the issuance.

The Company did not pay any commissions to Charge Savvy or Cultivate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

The Unified Agreement did not eliminate the licensing fees stated in the MTrac 5 Year License, but added and defined a profit sharing agreement on all accounts generated by the merchants and agents that MTrac procured for PubCo, as follows: 40% to MTrac, 40% to PubCo, and 20% to Cultivate, with profit defined as Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”), adjusted for non-cash long-term compensation, based upon publicly filed financial information. Under the terms of the Company's common stockUnified Agreement, MTrac was granted the exclusive right by Cultivate and us to market the GreenBox Business’ new blockchain ledger-based payment platform which combined our proprietary system with certain proprietary technologies owned by Cultivate, which in combination offer a payment platform that allows a much more user-friendly payment system (the “Current Platform”).

New Exclusive Licensing Agreement: Current Exclusive License

On or about December 17, 2018, all previous agreements with MTrac were revoked, at which point we entered into a price of $0.001 per share. The same shares were subsequently sold for $250,000new 5-year exclusive three-party Software License and Services Agreement with Exclusivity with MTrac and Cultivate (referred to a third party on May 3, 2018. The management believesas the $250,000 reflects“Current Exclusive License”). Under the fair valueterms of the Company common sharesCurrent Exclusive License, PubCo waived all future licensing fees for the remaining 4-year term (in recognition of MTrac’s introduction of Kenneth Haller to PubCo – see Section M. Kenneth Haller below) and gave MTrac the exclusive right to market the Current Platform to high risk cannabis merchants in North America and to license the Current Platform to non-high risk merchant on conversion date duea nonexclusive basis. The parties’ revenue sharing agreement was newly defined as a split of revenue derived from the processing of the payments from merchants referred under the Current Exclusive License, distributed after deducting certain agreed upon costs, as follows: 50% to the proximate time period between the conversion dateMTrac, 25% to PubCo and the stock sale date. Therefore the Company recorded a loss on the conversion of $105,555 which represented the difference between the principal balance of $144,445 and $250,000.25% to Cultivate.

 

In October 2018,order for MTrac to maintain exclusivity rights under the Current Exclusive License, MTrac must meet certain merchant payment processing targets, subsequently modified under a verbal agreement, as follows: as of September 1, 2019, $10,000,000 in monthly processing volume (which MTrac achieved); as of January 1, 2020, $25,000,000; and as of June 1, 2020, $40,000,000 in anticipation ofmonthly process volume.

Dahan – Yoram Dahan, Melissa Dahan, Forty8 Ltd., and Trustees of the Melissa H. Dahan Living Trust (collectively, “the Dahan Parties”) were also named by RB Capital in the suit listed in the previous paragraph. On October 31, 2019, the GreenBox Parties filed a cross-complaint against the Dahan Parties, alleging claims of fraud, securities fraud, misrepresentation, promissory estoppel, and other related claims, in the Superior Court for the State of California, County of San Diego. On or about December 15, 2019, the GreenBox Parties and the Dahan Parties resolved to negotiate a settlement and agreed in principal to settlements terms. The documentation of the settlement terms was underway as of February 3, 2020. This was dismissed by both parties on February 27, 2020.

Withholding Suit – On November 25, 2019, five companies (the “Plaintiffs”) filed a complaint against us, Global Payout, Inc., MTrac Tech Corporation and Cultivate Technologies, LLC (collectively the “Defendants”) in the Superior Court of the State of California. Plaintiffs filed suit to recover processed funds and processing fees alleged to be withheld illegally (collectively, the “Withholding Suit”). Pursuant to a mandatory arbitration clause in the controlling agreement, the parties to the Withholding Suit have agreed to arbitrate their claims. We do not dispute the funds owed; however, we do believe it’s within our rights to hold the funds, per the terms of agreements signed by Plaintiffs. We disagree with any allegations of any wrongdoing and will aggressively defend ourselves against the Withholding Suit. Ideally, we will settle this claim in the near term. While the results of this matter cannot be predicted with certainty, especially at this early stage, we believe that losses, if any, resulting from resolution of this matter will not have a materially adverse effect on operations or cash flow. This was dismissed by both parties as of March 30, 2020.

Operating Leases

The Company entered into the following operating facility lases:

Hyundai Rio Vista – On October 4, 2018, the Company entered into an operating facility lease for its corporate office located in San Diego with 38 months term and with option to renew. The lease started on October 4, 2018 and expires on October 3, 2021

The Company entered into an operating lease for corporate location on October 4, 2018. Rent expense paid under the lease agreements for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $127,680 and for the year ended December 31, 2018 was $0.

For operating leases, we calculated right of use assets and lease liabilities based on the present value of the remaining lease payments as of the date of adoption using the incremental borrowing rate. The adoption of ASC 842 resulted in recording an adjustment to operating lease right of use asset and operating lease liabilities of $229,639 and $120,110 respectively, as of December 31, 2019. The difference between the operating lease ROU asset and operating lease liabilities at transition represented existing deferred rent expenses and tenant improvements, and indirect costs that was derecognized. The adoption of ASC 842 did not materially impact our results of operations, cash flows, or presentation thereof.

In accordance with ASC 842, the components of lease expense were as follows:

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company follows the guidance in FASB ASC Topic 855, Subsequent Events (“ASC 855”), which provides guidance to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the consolidated financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. ASC 855 sets forth (i) the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity evaluates events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements, (ii) the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its consolidated financial statements, and (iii) the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. Accordingly, the Company did not have any subsequent events through April 15,that require disclosure other than the following:

Formalizing the Reverse Acquisition – On January 4, 2020, PubCo and PrivCo entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”), to formalize and memorialize a verbal agreement (the “Verbal Agreement”) entered into on April 12, 2018, by and among PubCo and PrivCo. The Agreement was disclosed in a Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 7, 2020.

Product Development, Launch and Sales – In 2019, we commenced a larger deployment of our blockchain-based, payment and ledger system, which we believe was enthusiastically received. As we increased our Independent Sales Organizations (“ISO”) relationships, we were able to on-board clients at an increasing pace, resulting in increasing revenues. As client acquisitions accelerated, we experienced significant growth in payment processing volume through the third quarter of 2019. Servicing our quickly growing customer base required us to grow our “acquiring bandwidth” proportionally. Acquiring bandwidth is the technology nomenclature for the ability to push transactional volume to an accumulation account held by a commercial bank, sponsoring such activity for a company. We work with several acquiring banks, each of which provides this support to us, as well as setting support limits and/or transactional volume limits, for each account. Additionally, each account comes with policies for disbursements and reserves set by each sponsor bank, under which we operate. We then apply these policies, limits and reserve requirements to each of our client accounts. In some cases, we experienced challenging reserve policies from certain acquirers, which in turn created challenging situations for us. Where we couldn’t negotiate more favorable conditions with an acquirer, we formed relations with new acquirers, which better suited our needs. As we grew, it became apparent to us that market demand for our services could be substantial and that we would need to upgrade and reengineer certain technology modules of our acquiring engine. As a result, we scaled back our acquiring capabilities in the fourth quarter of 2019, which allowed us to focus on the technology upgrades. As anticipated, this shift in focus resulted in a reduction of revenues in the fourth quarter. However, we anticipate these upgrades will enable growth acceleration in 2020 and beyond.

Kenneth Haller and the Haller Companies / Affiliated Party Transactions – Kenneth Haller (“Haller”) became our Senior Vice President of Payment Systems, a key member of our management team, in November 2018. Haller brings considerable advantages to our platform’s development and our business development efforts and capabilities, including transactional business relations and a large network of agents, which we believe capable of processing $1 billion annually (the “Haller Network”). The Haller Network is an amalgamation of the collective networks of Haller and three companies owned or majority-owned by Haller: Sky Financial & Intelligence, LLC (“Sky”), Charge Savvy, LLC and Cultivate, LLC (collectively, the “Haller Companies”), each of which has formalized business relationships with us, as well as with some of our partners (for example, MTrac), which we believe allows us to maximize and diversify our market penetration capabilities. We pay Haller a monthly consulting fee, through Sky, a company 100% owned by Haller, of $10,000, which was subsequently increased to $16,667 per month commencing September 2019 (“Haller Consulting Fee”). In 2019, we paid Sky consulting fees of $30,000 in the quarter ending March 31, $30,000 in the quarter ending June 30, $36,667 in consulting fees in the quarter ending September 30, and $124,150 in the quarter ending December 31, which included $50,000 in consulting fees and $74,150 in expense reimbursement. In 2019, Sky facilitated $1,397,822 in payments (using our funds) on our behalf during the quarter ending September 30, and similarly $184,056 in the quarter ending December 31. During the quarters ending June 30 and September 30 of 2019, Charge Savvy, a company 68.4% owned by Sky, PubCo POS-related equipment totaling $22,450 and $16,000, respectively.

Lawsuit – On November 25, 2019, five companies (the “Plaintiffs”) filed a complaint against us, Cultivate Technologies, LLC (a company 68.4% owned by Sky), Global Payout, Inc. and MTrac Tech Corporation in the Superior Court of the State of California. Plaintiffs filed suit to recover processed funds and processing fees alleged to be withheld illegally (see Withholding Suit in Section C. Legal Matters above).

Issuance of Unregistered Securities – PubCo issued the following securities that were not registered under the Securities Act. Except where noted, all the securities stated below were issued in reliance on the exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

o

On or about December 12, 2019, PubCo entered into an agreement to issue 600,000 restricted shares to a non-affiliated service provider as renumeration in lieu of cash fees, on a vesting schedule as follows: 200,000 shares vest upon each of the following milestones: the Company filing its Form 10-K for 2018, the Company filing its three interim Form 10-Qs for 2019, and the Company filing its Form 10-K for 2019.
