SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESSummary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The results of operations presented in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for any future periods. In the opinion of management, these unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments and accruals, consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments that are necessary for a fair statement of the results of all interim periods reported herein.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 materially differ from those estimates.

 

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations or cash flows.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

The Company’s cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash represents the following:

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.

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 records reflect such restricted cash as a restricted cash and trust accounts, and the balances due to merchants and ISOs as settlement liabilities.

Cash Due from Gateways and Payment Processing Liabilities

 

The Company’s primary source of revenues isconsists of payment processing services for its merchant clients. When sucha 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 collectcollects fees.

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised goods or services to the Company’s customers or when the Company satisfies any performance obligations under contract. The amount of revenue reflects therepresents consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for the respective goods or services provided. Further, underUnder Accounting Standards Codification 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers, (“ASC 606”), contract assets or contract liabilities that arise from past performance but require a further performance before the obligation can be fully satisfied must be identified and recorded on the balance sheet until respective settlements have been met.

 

The Company’s primary revenue source is generated from payment processing services. Payment processing services 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, at a point in time.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses

 

The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses for estimated losses from the inability of gateways to make required payments. The allowance for credit losses is evaluated periodically based on the aging of accounts receivable, the operational relationship with gateways and their payment history, historical charge-off experience and other assumptions, such as current assessment of economic conditions.

Prepaid Expenses

Prepaid expenses primarily consist of deposits made with credit card companies under Transact Europe Holdings OOD and the prepayment associated with other acquisitions.

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 recognized in the period the transaction occurs.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company assesses the fair value of financial instruments based on the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value MeasurementMeasurementss.. ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

 

The standardASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1- Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2- Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3- Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

 

The Company accounts for acquisitions of businesses in accordance with the acquisition method.method of accounting which requires assets and liabilities to be recognized at their fair values on the acquisition date. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of acquired businesses over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Goodwill and other intangible assets acquired in a business combination determined to have an indefinite useful life are generally not amortized, but instead are tested for impairment at least annually and more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the asset’s fair value.

 

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 MarchDecember 31, 2022, other than a charge off of the entire consideration paid in connection with the contracted acquisition of the Sky Financial portfolio, the Company does not believe that impairment indicators are present, and accordingly, based on this assessment, no furtherperformed an impairment analysis was performed.on the other acquired goodwill and other long-lived assets and concluded that their values are supportable and recoverable.

 

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 not be realized. Judgment is required in determining and evaluating income tax provisions and valuation allowances for deferred income tax assets. We recognize an income tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position.

Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities. As of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, we have no material unrecognizedvaluation allowances which serve to reduce net deferred tax benefits, and we expect no material unrecognized tax benefits for the next 12 months.assets.

Recent Accounting Standard Adopted

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses”. The standard, including subsequently issued amendments (ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04, ASU 2019-05, ASU 2019-10 and ASU 2019-11), requires a financial asset measured at amortized cost basis, such as accounts receivable and certain other financial assets, to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10 to postpone the effective date of ASU No. 2016-13 for public business entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies defined by the SEC to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has adopted this accounting standard, effective January 1, 2023. Management assessed the adoption of this standard on the effective date and concluded that the adoption did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows during the period ended March 31, 2023.

Recent Accounting Standards and Guidance Not Adopted

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers,” which requires contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured by the acquirer on the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” as if the acquirer had originated the contracts. ASU 2021-08 is effective for fiscal years and interim reporting periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company has not acquired any businesses during the effective period and, accordingly, is currently evaluating the effect, if any, the adoption of this guidance will have on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and disclosures.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The FASB issued ASU 2020-06 (“Update”) to simplify the accounting for convertible instruments by eliminating large sections of the existing guidance in this area. It also eliminates several triggers for derivative accounting, including a requirement to settle certain contracts by delivering registered shares. These changes are intended to make GAAP easier to apply and, therefore, reduce the frequency of errors in this part of the literature. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. For SEC filers, excluding smaller reporting companies, this Update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, this Update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods therein. The Company is evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

COVID-19 UPDATERestatements of Previously-Issued Consolidated Financial Statements

 

During the preparation of its 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company determined that it had not appropriately accounted for certain historical transactions under US GAAP. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 99, Materiality, and SAB 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, the Company evaluated the materiality of the errors from qualitative and quantitative perspectives, individually and in aggregate, and concluded that the errors were material to the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the quarters ending March 31, 2021, June 30, 2021, September 30, 2021, March 31, 2022, June 30, 2022, and September 30, 2022, and for the annual period ending December 2019, a novel strain31, 2021. Based on this evaluation, on January 13, 2023, the Audit Committee, with the concurrence of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was identified and the disease has since spread across the world. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic.

SETTLEMENT PROCESSINGSettlement 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,In summary, 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, GreenBoxThe Company uses proprietary, private ledger technology to verify every transaction conducted within the GreenBoxCompany ecosystem. The verification of transaction data comes from trusted partners, all of whom have been extensively vetted by us. GreenBoxThe Company 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/credit or 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/credit or 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 due from gateways,Due From Gateways, net – a Current Asset. Of these funds, we record the sum balance due to Merchants and ISOs as Payment processing liabilities,Processing Liabilities, net – a Current Liability.

GOODWILL

The Company tests goodwill during the fourth quarter of each year or more often if events or circumstances indicate there may be impairment. The Company only has one reporting unit. The Company performs its analysis in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (ASC 350). This guidance provides the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If, based on a review of qualitative factors, it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the Company performs a goodwill impairment test by comparing the carrying value of its reporting unit to its fair value. The Company determines the estimated fair value of the reporting unit using a discounted cash flow analysis. The fair value of the reporting unit is the implied fair value of goodwill. In the event the reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss will be recognized. An impairment loss is measured by the difference between the carrying value of the reporting unit and its fair value.

Interest accrues at the rate of 3.75% per annum and will accrue only on funds actually advanced from the date of each advance. Installment payments, including principal and interest, are due monthly beginning May 8, 2021 (twelve months from the date of the SBA Loan) in the amount of $731. The balance of principal and interest is payable thirty years from the date of the SBA Loan. In connection therewith, the Company also received a $10,000 grant, which does not have to be repaid. During the year ended December 31, 2020, $10,000 was recorded in Economy injury disaster loan (EIDL) grant income in the Statements of Operations.

Derivative liability

 

The Notes contain embedded derivatives representing the conversion features, redemption rights, and certain events of default. The Company determined that these embedded derivativederivatives 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 valuedfair-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, 20212020 due to management’s estimates of the likelihood of certain events, but that may have value in the future should those estimates change.

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 (the “Haller Network”). The Haller Network is an amalgamation of the collective networks of Haller and two companies owned or majority-owned by Haller, which are or have been Sky Financial & Intelligence, LLC (“Sky”), and Charge Savvy, 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.

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”).

Overview Organization and Name Changes

 

Organization

GreenBox POSRYVYL Inc. is a financial technology company that develops, markets, and sells innovative blockchain-based payment solutions, which we believe offer significant improvements for 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 formerly known as ASAP Expo, Inc (“ASAP”), and was incorporated in the state of Nevada on April 10, 2007. On January 4, 2020, PubCo and GreenBox POS LLC, a Washington limited liability company ("(“PrivCo”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement”“Agreement”), to memorialize a verbal agreement (the “Verbal Agreement”) entered into on April 12, 2018, by and among PubCo (the Buyer) and PrivCo (the Seller). On April 12, 2018, pursuant to the Verbal Agreement, PubCothe Company acquired PrivCo’s blockchain gateway and payment system business, point of sale system business, delivery business and kiosk business, bank and merchant accounts, as well as all intellectual property related thereto (the "GreenBox“GreenBox Business”). As consideration for the GreenBox Business, on April 12, 2018, PubCothe Company assumed PrivCo’s liabilities that had been incurred in the normal course of the GreenBox Business.

 

On May 3, 2018, PubCothe Company formally changed its name to GreenBox POS LLC, then subsequently changed its name to GreenBox POS on December 13, 2018. On October 13, 2022, GreenBox POS changes its name to RYVYL Inc.

On March 31, 2022, the Company contracted to acquire a portfolio of merchant accounts from Sky Financial & Intelligence for $18.1 million. The Company paid $16.0 million in cash in March 2022 issued 500,000 shares of restricted common stock for the transaction on May 12, 2022. The entire amount tendered in both cash and stock was recorded as a Customer Relationships asset.

However, as of December 31, 2022, the Company had not received the delivery of the acquired merchant list and the associated ISO management portal access and as a result the Company charged off the entire purchase price in 2022. Also, during 2022, the Company suspended its reporting of revenue from the Sky Financial portfolio.

On April 1, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of Transact Europe Holdings OOD. Transact Europe EAD (TEU) is an EU regulated electronic money institution headquartered in Sofia Bulgaria. TEU is a Principal Level Member of Visa, a Worldwide Member of MasterCard, and a Principal Member of China UnionPay. In addition, TEU is part of the direct SEPA program. With a global footprint, proprietary payment gateway, and technology platforms, TEU offers a comprehensive portfolio of services and decades of industry experience. TEU provides complete payment solutions by offering acquiring, issuing of prepaid cards and agent banking, serving hundreds of clients. The Company paid approximately $28.8 million (€26.0 million) in total consideration for the purchase.

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. Cost of revenues increased due primarily to increased volume, resulting in higher processing fees paid to Gateways, commission payments to ISOs, and cost of revenue of acquired businesses in the following:US and EU.

Increased volume, resulting in higher processing fees paid to Gateways and commission payments to ISOs. The gross margin decreased due to increase in fees in ISO.

Other Income (Expense)

 

Other expense increaseddecreased by $11,094,590,$18.0 million, or 279.7%81.0%, to ($15,060,991)$4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022,2023, from ($3,966,401)$22.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Interest expense increased significantly2022. Changes 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 the fair value of the derivative liability associated with the note were also contributing factors.  Furthermore, the Company changes in fair value of derivative liability expenseamounted to a charge of $7,700,000$7.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and nonea credit of $168,000 in the previous year same quarter.three months ended March 31, 2023. Interest expense decreased by $5.0 million, primarily related to the $100 million convertible note issued in November 2021. Additionally, we incurred a charge of $4.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022, related to a loss on a partial extinguishment and conversion of debt.

 

Provision for Income Taxes

 

We estimate our annual effective income tax rate to be 22%(0.06)% for calendar 2022,2023, which is different from the U.S. federal statutory rate, primarily due to a significant amountits full valuation position. The Company recorded approximately $5,000 and $1,000 of non-deductible stock compensation. The effective tax rateexpense as of 22%March 31, 2023 and 2021, respectively. As of March 31, 2023, we have no material unrecognized tax benefits. And we expect no material unrecognized tax benefits for the first quarter of calendar 2022 was different from the estimate annual effective tax rate of 22%.next 12 months.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCESAdjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that represents our net loss before interest expense, amortization of debt discount, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expense and legal costs and settlement fees incurred in connection with non-ordinary course litigation and other disputes.

We exclude these items in calculating Adjusted EBITDA because we believe that the exclusion of these items will provide for more meaningful information about our financial performance, and do not consider the excluded items to be part of our ongoing results of operations.

Our use of Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our financial results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are: (a) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements; (b) Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; (c) Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the potentially dilutive impact of equity-based compensation; (d) Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us; and (e) other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA or similarly titled measures differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these and other limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA alongside our other GAAP-based financial performance measures, net income (loss) and our other GAAP financial results. The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA from net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, for the periods indicated:

Non-GAAP Measures

GAAP requires that operating expenses include the amortization of acquired intangible assets, which principally include acquired customer relationships and developed technology. We exclude amortization of intangibles from Adjusted EBITDA because we do not consider amortization expense when we evaluate our ongoing business operations, nor do we factor amortization expense into our evaluation of potential acquisitions, or our measurement of the performance of those acquisitions. We believe that the exclusion of amortization expense enables the comparison of our performance to other companies in our industry as other companies may be more or less acquisitive than us and therefore, amortization expense may vary significantly by company based on their acquisition history. Although we exclude amortization of acquired intangible assets from Adjusted EBITDA, management believes that it is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets were recorded as part of purchase accounting and contribute to revenue generation.

We record depreciation primarily for investments in property and equipment. We exclude depreciation in calculating Adjusted EBITDA because we do not consider depreciation when we evaluate our ongoing business operations.

We exclude stock-based compensation expense and other forms of equity incentives primarily awarded to employees because they are non-cash charges that we do not consider when assessing the operating performance of our business. Additionally, the determination of stock-based compensation expense can be calculated using various methodologies and is dependent upon subjective assumptions and other factors that vary on a company-by-company basis. Therefore, we believe that excluding stock-based compensation expense from Adjusted EBITDA improves the comparability of our results to the results of other companies in our industry.

Included in operating expenses are incremental costs directly related to business and asset acquisitions as well as changes in the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities, when applicable. We exclude acquisition-related expense from Adjusted EBITDA because we believe that the exclusion of this expense allows us to better provide meaningful information about our operating performance, facilitates comparisons to our historical operating results, improves the comparability of our results to the results of other companies in our industry, and ultimately, we believe helps investors better understand the acquisition-related expense and the effects of the transaction on our results of operations.

We exclude non-ordinary course litigation expense because we do not consider legal costs and settlement fees incurred in litigation and litigation-related matters of non-ordinary course lawsuits and other disputes to be indicative of our core operating performance. We do not adjust for ordinary course legal expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA is a key measure that our management uses to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends to generate future operating plans, to make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital, and to make investments in initiatives that are focused on cultivating new markets for our solutions. In particular, the exclusion of certain expenses in calculating Adjusted EBITDA facilitates comparisons of our operating performance on a period-to-period basis and, in the case of exclusion of acquisition-related adjustments and certain historical legal expenses, excludes items that we do not consider to be indicative of our core operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our primary sources of liquidity have historically been derived from raising capital by issuing debt or common stock. Our cash flow from operations is not yet able to cover our cash needs. We believe our current cash balances will be sufficient to cover our operating needs for the next twelve months. Our $94 million convertible note matures in November 2023.2024. There are covenants associated with the note that accelerates the conversion of tranches of the note should certain targets be met.

 

We may, in the future, seek to raise additional capital to fund growth, operations and other business activities, but such additional capital may not be available to us on acceptable terms, on a timely basis, or at all.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATESCritical Accounting Estimates

Management strives to report our financial results in a clear and understandable manner, although in some cases accounting and disclosure rules and principles are complex and require us to use technical terminology. In preparing the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements, we follow accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. These principles require us to make certain estimates and apply judgments that affect our financial position and results of operations as reflected in our financial statements. These judgments and estimates are based on past events and expectations of future outcomes. 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, which are used for, but not limited to among other things, the accounting for revenue recognition, stock-based compensation and the valuation of deferred taxes. Actual results may differ from our estimates. Management continually reviews our accounting policies including how they are applied and how they are reported and disclosed in our financial statements. Below is a summary of our critical accounting estimates and how they are applied in 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.

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 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

 

The Company’s primary source of revenues continues to beconsists of payment processing services for its merchant clients. When sucha 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 collectcollects fees.

 

In 20222023 and 20212022 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, among other things, return and chargeback history, associated riskrisks for the specific business vertical,verticals, and average transaction amount and so on. In order toamounts. To mitigate processing risks, these policies determine reserve requirements and payment in arear strategy.payment-in-arrears strategies. While reserve and payment in arrearspayment-in-arrears restrictions are in effect for a merchant payout, the Company records gateway debt against these amounts until released.

 

Therefore, the total gatewayCash due from gateways balances reflectedpresented in the Company’s booksaccompanying consolidated balance sheets represent the amount owedamounts due to the Company for processing – these are funds from transactions processed andwherein the funds have not yetbeen distributed.
