Cash Due from Gateways and Payment Processing Liabilities

 

The Company’s primary source of revenues continues to beis 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 20212022 and 20202021 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 areararrears strategy. While reserve and payment in areararrears restrictions are in effect for a merchant payout, the Company records gateway debt against these amounts until released.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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.

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.

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 utilizesassesses the fair value of financial instruments based on the provisions of ASC 820-10, 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure, for valuing financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis. Fairs. ASC 820 defines fair value is defined as the exitexchange price or the amount that would be received to sellfor an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transactionthe principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability between market participants as ofon the measurement date. The guidanceASC 820 also establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizeswhich requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimizesminimize 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. measuring fair value.

The guidance establishesstandard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1.1- Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2- Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices in active markets;

Level 2. Inputs, other than thefor similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in active markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly; andcan be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3.3- Unobservable inputs in which there isthat are supported by little or no market data, which requireactivity and that are significant to 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,the assets or liabilities.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The Company accounts payablefor acquisitions of businesses in accordance with the acquisition method. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of acquired businesses over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and accrued liabilities dueassumed. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred.

Goodwill and other intangible assets acquired in a business combination determined to or from affiliated companies,have an indefinite useful life are generally not amortized, but instead are tested for impairment at least annually and notes payable approximates itsmore frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount due toexceeds the short maturity of these instruments.asset’s fair value.

 

9

Other intangible assets with estimable useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever management believes that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. To the extent that the carrying value is determined to be unrecoverable, an impairment loss is recognized through a charge to expense. As of March 31, 2022, the Company does not believe that impairment indicators are present, and accordingly, based on this assessment, no further impairment analysis was performed.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

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 not be realized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities. As of March 31, 2022, we have no material unrecognized tax benefits, and we expect no material unrecognized tax benefits for the next 12 months.

 

Long-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 three months ended March 31, 20212022 and 2020,2021, as there are no potential shares outstanding other than options that would have a dilutive effect.

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 March 31, 2021, the Company had federal and California net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $6.2 million. The federal and California net operating loss carryforwards will expire at various dates from 2027 through 2029; however, $6.2 millionimpact of the Federal operating loss does not expire and will be carried forward indefinitely.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether itloan payable, Emergency Injury Disaster Loan noted above is more likely than not in default.

Pursuant to 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 which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable incomecertain Loan Authorization and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.

Derivative liability

The Notes contain embedded derivatives representing the conversion features, redemption rights, and certain events of default. The Company determined that these embedded derivative required bifurcation and separate valuation.

The Company utilizes a binomial lattice model to value its bifurcated derivatives included in the Notes. ASC 815 does not permit an issuer to account separately for individual derivative terms and features embedded in hybrid financial instruments that require bifurcation and liability classification as derivative financial instruments. Rather, such terms and features must be combined together and fair valued as a single, compound embedded derivative. The Company selected a binomial lattice model to value the compound embedded derivative because it believes this technique is reflective of all significant assumptions that market participants would likely consider in negotiating the transfer of the Notes. Such assumptions include, among other inputs, stock price volatility, risk-free rates, credit risk assumptions, early redemption and conversion assumptions, and the potential for future adjustment of the conversion price due to triggering events. Additionally, there are other embedded features of the Notes requiring bifurcation, other than the conversion features, which had no value at December 31, 2021 due to management’s estimates of the likelihood of certain events, but that may have value in the future should those estimates change.

A continuity of derivative liability for the three months ended March 31, 2022 is summarized as follows:

The Company sold and issued, in a registered direct offering, an 8% senior convertible note due November 3, 2023 in the aggregate original principal amount of $100 million (the “Note”). The Note had an original issue discount of sixteen percent (16%) resulting in gross proceeds of $84 million. The Note was sold pursuant to the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated November 2, 2021 (the “SPA”), between The Company and the investor in the Note (the “Investor”).

The Note was issued on November 8, 2021, pursuant to an indenture dated November 2, 2021 between the Company and Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as trustee (the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented by a first supplemental indenture thereto, dated November 2, 2021, relating to the Notes (the “First Supplemental Indenture” and, the Base Indenture as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, the “First Indenture”). The terms of the Note include those provided in the First Indenture and those made part of the First Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act.

Ranking

The Note is the senior unsecured obligations of the Company and not the financial obligations of our subsidiaries. Until such date as the principal amount of the Note is $5 million or less, all payments due under the Note will be senior to all other indebtedness of the Company and/or any of our subsidiaries.

Maturity Date

Unless earlier converted, or redeemed, the Note will mature on November 3, 2023, the second anniversary of their issuance date, which we refer to herein as the “Maturity Date”, subject to the right of the investors to extend the date:

(i) if an event of default under the Note has occurred and is continuing (or any event shall have occurred and be continuing that with the passage of time and the failure to cure would result in an event of default under the Note) and

(ii) for a period of 20 business days after the consummation of a fundamental transaction if certain events occur.

We are required to pay, on the Maturity Date, all outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest and accrued and unpaid late charges on such principal and interest, if any.

Interest

The Note bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum (a) shall commence accruing on the date of issuance, (b) shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and twelve 30-day months and (c) shall be payable in cash quarterly in arrears on the first trading day of each calendar quarter or otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Note. If a holder elects to convert or redeem all or any portion of a Note prior to the Maturity Date, all accrued and unpaid interest on the amount being converted or redeemed will also be payable. If we elect to redeem all or any portion of a Note prior to the Maturity Date, all accrued and unpaid interest on the amount being redeemed will also be payable. The interest rate of the Note will automatically increase to 15% per annum upon the occurrence and continuance of an event of default (See “-- Events of Default” below).

Late Charges

We are required to pay a late charge of 15% on any amount of principal or other amounts that are not paid when due.

Conversion

Fixed Conversions at Option of Holder

The holder of the Note may convert all, or any part, of the outstanding principal and interest of the Note, at any time at such holder’s option, into shares of our common stock at an initial fixed conversion price, which is subject to:

9.

proportional adjustment upon the occurrence of any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination and/or similar transactions; and

full-ratchet adjustment in connection a subsequent offering at a per share price less than the fixed conversion price then in effect.

On January 28, 2022, we and the Investor, entered into an Agreement and Waiver (the “Waiver”) with regard to the Note that has the following major provisions:

a)

the Investor agreed to extend the “90 Day Eligibility Date” from February 3, 2022 to May 2, 2022 such that the Investor can no longer, if the closing price of the stock is less than $5.50, convert up to $30 million of the Note into shares of the Company’s common stock (with the conversion price being the lower of (i) the then in effect conversion price and (ii) the greater of (x) the Note’s $1.67 floor price or (y) 98% of the market price on the conversion date) (the “Alternate Optional Conversion Price”) prior to May 2, 2022;

b)

allows us to acquire, for cancellation, $6 million in in aggregate principal amount of the Note for a purchase price of $6.9 million such that the new principal amount of the Note is $94 million;

c)

lowers the initial fixed conversion price of the Note from $15 to $12; and

d)

if the trading volume of our common stock on any individual trading day is over $5 million (the “Alternate Conversion Company Waiver Measuring Date”), allows the Investor an opportunity to convert up to $5 million of the Note into shares of our common stock from the Alternate Conversion Company Waiver Measuring Date through and including 7:00 PM ET on the immediately following trading day. The conversion price would be the lower of (i) the then in effect conversion price and (ii) the greater of (x) the Note’s $1.67 floor price or (y) 98% of the market price on the conversion date.

The Company paid the investor $6.0 million on January 31, 2022.

The foregoing description of the Waiver does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Waiver, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, and incorporated herein by reference.

1-Year Alternate Optional Conversion

At any time following the first anniversary of the issuance date of the Note, but only if the closing bid price of our common stock on the immediately prior trading day is less than $6.50, each holder of the Note shall have the option to convert, at such holder’s option, pro rata, up to $30 million of the principal amount of the Note (in $250,000 increments) at the Alternate Optional Conversion Price.

Alternate Event of Default Optional Conversion

If an event of default has occurred under the Note, each holder may alternatively elect to convert the Note (subject to an additional 15% redemption premium) at the “Alternate Event of Default Conversion Price” equal to the lesser of:

the fixed conversion price then in effect; and

the greater of:

the floor price; and

80% of the lowest volume weighted average price of our common stock during the five trading days immediately prior to such conversion.

Beneficial Ownership Limitation

The Note may not be converted and shares of common stock may not be issued under the Note if, after giving effect to the conversion or issuance, the applicable holder of the Note (together with its affiliates, if any) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock, which is referred to herein as the “Note Blocker”. The Note Blocker may be raised or lowered to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% at the option of the applicable holder of Notes, except that any raise will only be effective upon 61-days’ prior notice to us.

Clarification to First Quarter Adjustment to Fixed Conversion Price

The Company wishes to clarify the possible first quarter adjustment to the Note’s initial fixed conversion price (which was originally $15 and is now, pursuant to the Waiver, $12).

If, during the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2022, the Company (i) fails to process at least $750 million in transaction volume or (ii) has revenue that is less than $12 million, and, if the Note’s fixed conversion price then in effect is greater than the greater of (x) the Note’s $1.67 floor price floor and (y) 140% of the market price as of April 1, 2022 (the "Adjustment Measuring Price”) then, on April 1, 2022, the fixed conversion price will automatically adjust to the Adjustment Measuring Price.

Change of Control Redemption Right

In connection with a change of control of the Company, each holder may require us to redeem in cash all, or any portion, of the Notes at a 15% redemption premium to the greater of the face value, the equity value of our common stock underlying the Notes and the equity value of the change of control consideration payable to the holder of our common stock underlying the Notes.

The equity value of our common stock underlying the Notes is calculated using the greatest closing sale price of our common stock during the period immediately preceding the consummation or the public announcement of the change of control and ending the date the holder gives notice of such redemption.

The equity value of the change of control consideration payable to the holder of our common stock underlying the Notes is calculated using the aggregate cash consideration per share of our common stock to be paid to the holders of our common stock upon the change of control.

Events of Default

Under the terms of the first supplemental indenture, the events of default contained in the base indenture shall not apply to the Notes. Rather, the Notes contain standard and customary events of default including but not limited: (i) the suspension from trading or the failure to list our common stock within certain time periods; (ii) failure to make payments when due under the Notes; and (iii) bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company.

If an event of default occurs, each holder may require us to redeem all or any portion of the Notes (including all accrued and unpaid interest and late charges thereon), in cash, at a 15% redemption premium to the greater of the face value and the equity value of our common stock underlying the Notes

The equity value of our common stock underlying the Notes is calculated using the greatest closing sale price of our common stock on any trading day immediately preceding such event of default and the date we make the entire payment required.

Company Optional Redemption Rights

At any time no event of default exits, we may redeem all, but not less than all, the Notes outstanding in cash all, or any portion, of the Notes at a 5% redemption premium to the greater of the face value and the equity value of our common stock underlying the Notes.

The equity value of the Company’s common stock underlying the Notes is calculated using the greatest closing sale price of our common stock on any trading day during the period commencing on the date immediately preceding such date we notify the applicable holder of such redemption election and the date we make the entire payment required.

The foregoing description of the Note does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Note, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1, and incorporated herein by reference.

STOCK OPTION AWARDS

 

The Company adopted the 2020 Incentive and Non-statutory Stock Option Plan (“2020 Plan”) in June 2020, which provided for the grant of incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options to our employees and directors. The 2020 Plan provides for up to 3.3 million shares of Common Stock. Options granted under the 2020 Plan generally have a term of ten years and generally vest and become exercisable at various times from the option grant dates. The 2020 Plan provide for the grant of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options and restricted stock to our employees, directors and independent contractors. These options will have such vesting or other provisions as may be established by the Board of Directors at the time of each grant.

The Company applies the provisions of ASC 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation,” using a modified prospective application, and the Black-Scholes model to value stock options. Under this application, the Company records compensation expense for all awards granted. Compensation costs will be recognized over the period that an employee provides service in exchange for the award.

The fair value of each share option award on the date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes method based on the following weighted-average assumptions:

Pop N Pay, LLC – In addition to his employment with the Company, Dan Nusinovich owns 100% of Pop N Pay, LLC (“PNP”), a Delaware registered limited liability company, that he formed on August 20, 2018. During the late summer of 2018, when both market opportunity and demand necessitated opening additional bank accounts to support our payment processing products and services, we turned to PNP to open new accounts, as a trustee, on our behalf. For his assistance, Dan, through his ownership of PNP, received approximately $3,000 (in addition to Dan’s salary) in early 2019, for services rendered in the fourth quarter of 2018. PNP was legally closed as of March 31, 2021.

Kenneth Haller and the Haller Companies

Kenneth Haller (“Haller”) became the Company’s Senior Vice President of Payment Systems in November 2018. The Company began working indirectly with Haller earlier in 2018, both individually and through our relationship with MTrac Tech Corporation (“MTrac”), which in turn has business relationships with Haller. Haller brings considerable advantages to the Company’s platform development and business development efforts and capabilities, including transactional business relations and a large network of agents, which the Company believes, are capable of processing $1 billion transactions 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, which are Sky Financial & Intelligence, LLC (“Sky”), Charge Savvy, LLC, Cultivate, LLC (collectively, the “Haller Companies”), each of which has formalized business relationships with the Company, as well as with some of the Company’s partners, which the Company believes allows the Company to maximize and diversity the Company’s market penetration capabilities. Haller, through Sky, owns controlling interests in Charge Savvy, LLC and Cultivate, LLC, with whom we do business indirectly, through their respective business relationship with MTrac.

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

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. 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). 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%). The three managing members of Charge Savvy own the same percentages of Cultivate, as they do Charge Savvy. On January 25, 2021, the Company issued a press release announcing it had entered into a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding to acquire Charge Savvy, for total consideration of up to $52 million in restricted shares of the Company’s common stock with $31 million of that all-shares amount due upon closing. Charge Savvy was, until August 2020, one of the largest ISOs that we utilized in our ecosystem. The transaction assumes a per share price of $12.00. The all-stock transaction is subject to the negotiation and signing of definitive transaction documents, the completion of an audit of Charge Savvy’s financial statements, and customary closing conditions.

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.

The Company did not pay any commissions to the related parties mentioned aboveCompany’s 2021 Plan was $126,414 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, and 2020.respectively.

The purpose of the 1,000,000 common share pledge is to allow the Company, if necessary, to cancel up to 1 million of PrivCo’s shares and issue them to new shareholders without increasing the Company’s shares outstanding. As shares get cancelled and issued to new shareholders, the Company would release the $5.59 per share value from the trust account to PrivCo. As part of the verbal agreement, the parties agreed that any shares cancelled and issued out of these 1 million shares will need to be later re-issued to PrivCo PrivCo will need to return the $5.59 per share amount paid to it. In February 2022, the Company cancelled 33,333 of PrivCo’s shares and issued them to a shareholder and the Company is expected to cancel 500,000 of PrivCo’s shares and issue them to Sky Financial & Intelligence in May 2022. As a result, the Company recorded 533,333 shares to be issued to PrivCo as of March 31, 2022. PrivCo received $186,331 as of March 31, 2022 (for the cancellation of 33,333 shares) and will receive a further $2.795 million when the 500,000 shares are cancelled.

Management Discussion and Analysis

This MD&A section pertaining to the period prior to Q1/2021 was prepared by the management of GreenBox POS (OTC: GRBX) (“GreenBox”, “GRBX”, the “Company”); the parts of this section pertaining to Q1/2021 and beyond were prepared by the management of GreenBox POS (NASDAQ: GBOX), in conjunction with the discussion the financial activity disclosed from the perspectives of on-going Q1/2021 and plans and projections for the remainder of 2021.

 

Q4/2020 signified the return of operations in full scale for the Company, with processing volumes in December of 2020 increasing to $84M. The trend continues into Q1/2021, with monthly average processing volumes increasing to over $100M. During Q4/2020 the Company completed two capital raises – in October and in December of 2020, primarily directed towards the acceleration of the development and deployment of the Company’s newest technology, code name Gen3 (Generation 3, following its initial technology release in January 2019 – Gen1, and in April 2020 - Gen2). Two of the Company’s top executives, Chairman Mr. Errez and CEO Mr. Nisan, personally participated in the December 2020 raise. Gen3 technology is material to the Company plans and business performance and is projected to impact the industry as a whole, in particular with the launch of the GreenBox Smart Contract Token technology, scheduled to be released in Q2/2021. Throughout 2020 the Company continued to increase its investment in research and development, improving its acquiring platform and enabling safer, faster and significantly more scalable services. These technology improvements allow for major new capabilities, including Real Time Payments (RTP), a very sought-after payment feature. This change also reduces the Company COGS, trend that continues to be observed in Gen3 increased business efficiencies. Gen3 is an improved platform is performing better than its predecessor platform and increase total volumes while increasing profit margins and operating sustainability is observed and expected to persist through 2021. The Company returned to ramping up commercial large-scale operations, on-boarding large number of clients, and increasing the Company operational bandwidth to accommodate the needs of its clients. Q1/2021 continued to execute on these management directives. Covid-19 pandemic appears to have little impact on the Company’s business, and the rate of increase in operational figures observed is expected to remain unimpacted for rest of 2021.

At the targeted Annual Transactional Processing Volume goal and targeted Annual Gross Profit Margin, projected Annual Gross Profit is $24-26M for FY2021.

Annual EBITDA

The Company objective is to stay with EBITDA at around 3% of Total Transactional Volume. At the targeted Annual Transactional Processing Volume goal, the Annual EBITDA equals $26M.

In order to process the targeted ATPV goal, $1.65B, the Company must be able to process over $100M/month in a consistent fashion, as business performance in Q1/2021 demonstrated. The Company estimates the target deployment timeframe for its Smart Contract Token technology in Q2/2021, further improving on volumes and efficiencies.

KPI

Description

Average Monthly Transaction Count (AMTC)

The Company projects an AMTC of around 500,000

New Clients Backlog (NCB)

The Company will continue to invest in on-boarding technologies in order to expedite the process and reduce backlog. There are five client statuses: application, KYC, on-boarding, integration, processing. Current backlog of clients at application stage is greater than 2,000. Our goal is to bring the NCB down to 200.

Client Attrition

Current attrition rates are under 5%. Company goal is to reduce it further and keep it under 3%.

Based on the above and the current traction in Q2/21, the Company is comfortable with its volumes, gross revenues and EBITDA projections. The Company owns all the IP rights for operations in its space: tokenizer, gateway, ledger manager and blockchain substrate. Other, supporting patents, such as fraud proofing, on-boarding accelerators, and an all new blockchain implementation, are pending.

With the visibility into the Company’s operation management has in Q2/2021 and the Company uplisting to NASDAQ in Feb/2021, the current plan is to grow the Company organically to the size and value afforded by the senior exchange.

The ATPV, Profitability and other major KPIs remain sensitive to regulatory changes and global and national economic trends. These will impact and influence the Company’s product line, its potential mergers and acquisitions targets, its joint ventures and the Company’s technology emphasis.

Cost of Revenue

 

Cost of revenue increased by $1,346,466,$970,059, or 544.5%60.9%, to $2,563,830 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, from $1,593,771 infor the first quarter of fiscal 2021 from $247,305 in the first quarter last year.three months ended March 31, 2021. 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. Most orders are delivered directly to the customer, without any handling, storage or processing by us. Cost of revenues decreasedincreased due to the following:

 

Increased automation by installation of two new platforms, FOREXvolume, resulting in higher processing fees paid to Gateways and Crypto, that are much more streamlined and less demand for manual work.commission payments to ISOs. The gross margin decreased due to increase in fees in ISO.

 

Installation and integration of an advance transactional routing technology.

Revocations of the license agreement with MTrac and moving operations inhouse for better efficiency and higher margins.

Termination of service to problematic and low revenue producing clients.

Onboarding of higher profitability clients.

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses increaseddecreased by $11,453,952,$4,011,905, or 1075.7%32.0%, to $12,518,701 in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 from $1,064,749 in the first quarter last year. The increase was due to higher general administrative expenses and the following:

Increased R&D investment towards the completion and launch of the new technologies (Crypto and FOREX platforms, and advanced transactional routing technology).

Settlement of legal disputes and associated payments.

Stock compensation expense for employees and services

Professional fees related to legal and audits.

Non-Operating Expenses

We incurred interest expense related to various debt in the amount of $2,993,408 and $$8,506,796 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, from $12,518,701 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease was due primarily to lower stock compensation expense for services and employees for the three months ended March 31, 2022, offset by increases in research and development, general and administrative, payroll and payroll taxes and professional fees as we continue to add staff and infrastructure related to our growth and being a publicly traded company.

Other Income (Expense)

Other expense increased by $11,094,590, or 279.7%, to ($15,060,991) for the three months ended March 31, 2022, from ($3,966,401) for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Interest expense increased significantly in the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 due to the $100,000,000 convertible note issued in November 2021. Amortization of the discount, fees and 2020, respectively. We incurred a loss fromthe fair value of the derivative liability associated with the note were also contributing factors.  Furthermore, the Company changes in fair value of derivative liability expense of $3,822,385$7,700,000 for the three months ended March 31, 20202022 and none for three months ended March 31, 2021.in the previous year same quarter.

 

Provision for Income Taxes

We estimate our annual effective income tax rate to be 22% for calendar 2022, which is different from the U.S. federal statutory rate, primarily due to a significant amount of non-deductible stock compensation. The effective tax rate of 22% for the first quarter of calendar 2022 was different from the estimate annual effective tax rate of 22%.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We fund our liquidity requirements primarily throughby issuing debt or common stock. Our cash on hand, cash flowsflow from operations and borrowings from through debt.is not yet able to cover our cash needs.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIESESTIMATES

 

Our critical accounting estimates are included in our significant accounting policies as described in Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements of this Form 10-Q. Those consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP.  Critical accounting estimates are those that we believe are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations. The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expense. Our estimates are evaluated on an ongoing basis and drawn from historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time our consolidated financial statements are prepared. Actual results may differ from our estimates.  Management believes that the following accounting estimates reflect the more significant judgments and estimates we use in preparing our consolidated 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.policies.

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 sales revenue is generated from the sale of POS products, which is recognized when goods are shipped. Revenue recognized from the sale of equipment was not material.

 

Cash Due from Gateways and Payment Processing Liabilities

23

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 2022 and 2021 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 arrears 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.

ITEM 3.4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Our management has evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President, evaluatedChief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to(as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act. In designing and evaluatingAct of 1934) as of the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizesend of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon 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 PresidentChief Financial Officer has concluded that, as a result of the material weaknesses described below, as of March 31, 2021,2022, our disclosure controls and procedures are not designed at a reasonable assurance level and are ineffective to provide reasonable assurancewere effective in ensuring that information we are required to disclosebe disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SECthe rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is(ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officerprincipal executive and Executive Vice President,principal accounting officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The material weaknesses, which relate to

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that were identified are: 

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 believesoccurred during the three months ended March 31, 2022, that the hiring of additional personnel who have the technical expertise and knowledge with the non-routinematerially affected, 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. Dueare reasonably likely to the fact that our accounting staff consists of a Principal 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 andmaterially affect, our internal controlscontrol 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.reporting.
