Contracted not recognized revenue was $578 as of loans receivable, potential impairment lossesJune 30, 2020, of which the Company expects to recognize 100% of the capitalized license fee and fair value calculations related to embedded derivative features of outstanding convertible notes payable.

Cash

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents to the extent the funds are not being held for investment purposes. The Company held no cash equivalents as of September 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company did not hold cash with any one financial institution in excess of the FDIC insured limit of $250,000.

Revenue recognition

The Company follows paragraph 605-10-S99 of the FASBAccounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition. The Company will recognize revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the product has been shipped or the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. The Company primarily generates revenues through the sale of prepaid calling minutes to consumers through its Tel3 division. While the Company collects payment for such minutes in advance, revenue is recognized upon delivery to and consumption of minutes by the consumer. Next Cala generated revenues from commissions earned from Incomm, a leading financial services provider during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. The Company provides for depreciation and amortization using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from three to five years.Maintenance and repair costs are expensed as they are incurred while renewals and improvements which extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. At the time of retirement or disposal of property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the consolidated results of operations.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with ASC Topic 360, formerly SFAS No. 144,Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be fully recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on the Company’s ability to recover the carrying value of its asset based on estimates of its undiscounted future cash flows. If these estimated future cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment charge is recognized for the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its carrying value. There was no impairment losses recorded to long-lived assets during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2017 or 2016.

Non-controlling interest represents the non-controlling interest holders’ proportionate share of the equity of the Company’s majority-owned subsidiaries. Non-controlling interest is adjusted for the non-controlling interest holders’ proportionate share of the earnings or losses and other comprehensive income (loss) and the non-controlling interest continues to be attributed its share of losses even if that attribution results in a deficit non-controlling interest balance.

Derivative and Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Fair value accounting requires bifurcation of embedded derivative instruments such as conversion features in convertible debt or equity instruments and measurement of their fair value for accounting purposes. In assessing the convertible debt instruments, management determines if the convertible debt host instrument is conventional convertible debt and further if there is a beneficial conversion feature requiring measurement. If the instrument is not considered conventional convertible debt under ASC 470, the Company will continue its evaluation process of these instruments as derivative financial instruments under ASC 815.

 

Once determined, derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each reporting period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as an adjustment to fair value of derivatives.

 

Fair value of certain of the Company’s financial instruments including cash, accounts receivable, accountaccounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payables, and other accrued liabilities approximate cost because of their short maturities. The Company measures and reports fair value in accordance with ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value investments.measurements.

 

Fair value, as defined in ASC 820, is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value of an asset should reflect its highest and best use by market participants, principal (or most advantageous) markets, and an in-use or an in-exchange valuation premise. The fair value of a liability should reflect the risk of nonperformance, which includes, among other things, the Company’s credit risk.

Valuation techniques are generally classified into three categories: the market approach; the income approach; and the cost approach. The selection and application of one or more of the techniques may require significant judgment and are primarily dependent upon the characteristics of the asset or liability, and the quality and availability of inputs. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under ASC 820 must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. ASC 820 also provides fair value hierarchy for inputs and resulting measurement as follows:

 

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that are supported by little or no market activity, and that are significant to the fair values.

 

Fair value measurements are required to be disclosed by the Level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements in their entirety fall. Fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (in Level 3 measurements) are subject to expanded disclosure requirements including a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances, separately presenting changes during the period attributable to the following: (i) total gains or losses for the period (realized and unrealized), segregating those gains or losses included in earnings, and a description of where those gains or losses included in earning are reported in the statement of income.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the assets and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Use of net operating loss carry forwards for income tax purposes may be limited by Internal Revenue Code section 382 if a change of ownership occurs.

Basic Income (Loss) Per Share

 

Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted average number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

In May 2014,August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The amendments apply to reporting entities that are required to make disclosures about recurring or nonrecurring fair value measurements and should improve the cost, benefit, and effectiveness of the disclosures. ASU 2018-13 categorized the changes into those disclosures that were removed, those that were modified, and those that were added. The primary disclosures that were removed related to transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 investments, along with the policy for timing of transfers between levels. In addition, disclosing the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements was removed. The amendments are effective for all organizations for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company notes that this guidance will impact its disclosures beginning January 1, 2020.

In June 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 606) (“326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. In November 2018, FASB issued ASU 2014-09”)No. 2018-19, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses”, that outlineswhich amends the scope and transition requirements of ASU 2016-13. Topic 326 requires a comprehensive five-step revenue recognition modelfinancial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the principle that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In July 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferralcollectability of the reported amount. Topic 326 will originally become effective date of ASU 2014-09 tofor the Company beginning of 2018 for public companies,January 1, 2020, with an option that would permit companies to adopt the standard as early as the original effective date of 2017. The updated standard will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP. ASU 2014-09 may be adopted either retrospectively oradoption permitted, on a modified retrospective basis whereby it would be applied to new contracts and existing contracts with remaining performance obligations as of the effective date, withapproach. As a cumulative catch-up adjustment recorded to beginning retained earnings atsmaller reporting company, the effective date for those contracts. The updatedthe Company has been delayed until fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, in accordance with ASU 2019-10, although early adoption is still permitted. This standard is effective for us innot expected to have a material impact to the first quarter of 2018 and we do not plan to early adopt. We have not yet selected a transition method and we are currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on ourCompany’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. after evaluation.

 

In February 2016,December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 842)” (“740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The amendments in this ASU 2016-02”).simplify the accounting for income taxes, eliminates certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and clarifies certain aspects of the current guidance to improve consistent application among reporting entities. ASU 2016-02 requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities arising from a lease for both financing and operating leases. The ASU will also require new qualitative and quantitative disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. ASU 2016-022019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers - Principal versus Agent Considerations.” This Update provides clarifying guidance regarding the application of ASU No. 2014-09 - Revenue From Contracts with Customers when another party, along with the reporting entity, is involved in providing a good or a service to a customer. In these circumstances, an entity is required to determine whether the nature of its promise is to provide that good or service to the customer (that is, the entity is a principal) or to arrange for the good or service to be provided to the customer by the other party (that is, the entity is an agent). The amendments in the Update clarify the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. The Update is effective, along with ASU 2014-09, forinterim periods within annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The2022, though early adoption of ASU 2016- 08is permitted, including adoption in any interim period for which financial statements have not yet been issued. This standard is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In March 2016,to the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718)” (“ASU 2016- 09”). ASU 2016-09 requires an entity to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company has implemented ASU 2016-09 effective January 1, 2017.

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing” (“ASU 2016-1O”). The amendments in this update clarify the following two aspects to Topic 606: identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance, while retaining the related principles for those areas. The entity first identifies the promised goods or services in the contract and reduce the cost and complexity. An entity evaluates whether promised goods and services are distinct. Topic 606 includes implementation guidance on determining whether an entity’s promise to grant a license provides a customer with either a right to use the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied at a point in time) or a right to access the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied over time). The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2016-10 and its impact on itsCompany’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326).” For most financial assets, such as trade and other receivables, loans and other instruments, this standard changes the current incurred loss model to a forward-looking expected credit loss model, which generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. The new standard is effective for the Company at the beginning of fiscal year 2019. Entities are required to apply the provisions of the standard through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the effective date. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (Topic 230)”, which provides guidance for eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. ASU 2016-15 is effective retrospectively for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The new standard is effective for the Company at the beginning of fiscal year 2018. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on our consolidated financial statements and do not expect adoption to have a material impact.evaluation.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, “Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes”, which requires that all deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent amounts on the balance sheet. ASU 2015-17 will be effective for interim and annuals periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. Early adoption of the standard is permitted. The new standard is effective for the Company at the beginning of fiscal year 2017. There was no impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as the Company does not currently have a deferred tax asset or liability.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements upon adoption.

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.The Company had a net income before non-controlling interest of $51,243 and a loss of $4,765,328 and net cash used in operating activities of $384,716 and $967,736, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company has a working capital deficit of $7,151,084 and $9,759,119, and an accumulated deficit of $13,436,542 and $13,499,303 as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the date of issuance of this report. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The Company has a minimum cash balance available for payment of ongoing operating expense, has experienced losses from operations since inception, and it does not have a source of revenue sufficient to cover its operating costs. Its continued existence is dependent upon its ability to continue to execute its operating plan and to obtain additional debt or equity financing. There can be no assurance the necessary debt or equity financing will be available, or will be available on terms acceptable to the Company.

Management plans to fund operations through additional debt and equity financing. Debt instruments may be convertible or non-convertible and will vary based on the Company’s needs and financing options available at such times.

NOTE 4 – NOTES PAYABLE AND CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

Notes Payable

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company entered into two separate loans to be paid by collection of its future accounts receivable and secured by substantially all assets of the Company including accounts receivable, cash, equipment, intangible assets, inventory and other receivables. The first loan resulted in cash proceeds $125,000 to the Company for future payments totaling $168,750 from future receivables and requires daily repayments of $1,339. The second resulted in cash proceeds of $50,000 for future payments totaling $68,000 from future receivables and requires daily cash repayments of $540. There was $91,395 due for the agreements as of September 30, 2017 included in current notes payable.

On May 1, 2017, the Company received a loan from an unrelated party for $25,000. The loan is due on demand and as such is included in current notes payable. The note does not accrue interest and had a principal balance due of $25,000 as of September 30, 2017.

Convertible Notes Payable

The Company has entered into a series of convertible notes payable to fund operations. While with differing noteholders, the terms of the outstanding convertible notes are substantially similar and accrue interest at 8% annually with a default interest rate of 24% and allow for the conversion of outstanding principal and interest to common stock at a price equal to a 45% to 50% from the lowest trading price in the preceding 20 days. The convertible notes outstanding contain cross default features and the Company defaulted on all notes in November 2016.

In February 2017, the Company agreed with certain noteholders to extend a redemption freeze agreement whereby the convertible note holders agreed to not convert outstanding principal and accrued interest into common stock for a period of 60 days. Upon the expiration of these agreements, a 90 day extension was executed whereby the noteholders agreed to not convert additional amounts through the first week of July 2017. Under the terms of the extension, each noteholder was granted the right to convert a limited amount of outstanding principal to common stock at a rate equal to the stated rate in the convertible note payable but not less than $0.02 per share and extended the due dates of the notes to July 2017. These agreements were extended again through August 23, 2017.

On September 18, 2017, the Company agreed with Noteholder 3 to make monthly cash repayments of $9,234 over a period of eight months. If the Company repays 70% of the total outstanding principal no later than December 31, 2017, the remaining 30% principal balance will be converted to common stock at a rate equal to $0.05 per share after June 18, 2018. If the Company fails to repay 70% of the outstanding principal by December 31, 2017, the noteholder may convert the unpaid balance to common stock at $0.02 per share after June 18, 2018.

On October 9, 2017, the Company agreed with Noteholder 4 to make monthly cash repayments of $11,000 over a period of eight months. If the Company repays 70% of the total outstanding principal no later than December 31, 2017, the remaining 30% principal balance will be converted to common stock at a rate equal to $0.05 per share after June 18, 2018. If the Company fails to repay 70% of the outstanding principal by December 31, 2017, the noteholder may convert the unpaid balance to common stock at $0.02 per share after June 18, 2018. Additionally, the Company agreed to use 30% of any gross proceeds raised in any financing to retire outstanding principal due.

On October 9, 2017, the Company agreed with Noteholder 1 to make monthly cash repayments of $44,000 over a period of eight months. If the Company repays 70% of the total outstanding principal no later than December 31, 2017, the remaining 30% principal balance will be converted to common stock at a rate equal to $0.05 per share after June 18, 2018. If the Company fails to repay 70% of the outstanding principal by December 31, 2017, the noteholder may convert the unpaid balance to common stock at $0.02 per share after June 18, 2018. Additionally, the Company agreed to use 30% of any gross proceeds raised in any financing to retire outstanding principal due.

Accrued Interest

There was $387,927 and $207,951 of accrued interest due on all convertible notes as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively which is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the balance sheet (seeNote 8 – Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities).

NOTE 5 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

The Company analyzed the conversion features of the convertible notes payable as discussed in Note 4 for derivative accounting consideration under ASC 815-15 “Derivatives and Hedging” and determined that the embedded conversion features should be classified as a derivative liability because the exercise price of these convertible notes are subject to a variable conversion rate.  The Company has determined that the conversion feature is not considered to be solely indexed to the Company’s own stock and is therefore not afforded equity treatment. In accordance with AC 815, the Company has bifurcated the conversion feature of the note and recorded a derivative liability.

The embedded derivative for the note is carried on the Company’s balance sheet at fair value.  The derivative liability is marked-to-market each measurement period and any unrealized change in fair value is recorded as a component of the income statement and the associated fair value carrying amount on the balance sheet is adjusted by the change.  The Company fair values the embedded derivative using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  The aggregate fair value of the derivative at the reverse capitalization date of the convertible notes payable and certain outstanding option grants was $1,236,007 which was recorded as a derivative liability on the balance sheet.

As of September 30, 2017, the Company had a $1,143,186 derivative liability balance on the balance sheet and recorded a loss from derivative liability fair value adjustment of $161,746 during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.  The derivative liability activity comes from convertible notes payable as discussed in Note 4. In addition to derivative liabilities associated with convertible notes payable, the Company recorded a derivative liability due to a ratchet strike price feature associated with the options issued in the sale of TPP. The options are exercisable at $0.18 per share unless the Company’s common stock is quoted at a price greater than $0.50 per share at which point the options are exercisable at $0.001 per share.

A summary of outstanding derivative liabilities as of September 30, 2017 is as follows:

On May 31, 2016,March 30, 2020, the Company issued 10,000,000198,000 options to a board member pursuant to its agreement with the member. One thirdChief Executive Officer and President of the 10,000,000 options issued vested immediately upon execution of the related agreement, resulting in an immediate stock based expense of $558,323 being recognized. The remaining shares of the issuance vest based on performance milestones which the Company believes is 80% likely of occurring resulting in stock based expense of $558,328 during the year ended December 31, 2016, at which point there was a 50% probability of attainment, and $334,997 during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 at which point the probability of attainment was updated to 80%. The remaining fair value of the unvested shares of $223,331 will be recognized according to the estimated probability of the performance obligations being achieved.

On July 14, 2016, the Company issued 7,500,000 options as part of its acquisition of TPP.Company. The options were exercisable for a period of three years and carried an exercise price of $0.18 per share. The options carried a ratchet pricing feature whereby they become exercisable at $0.001 per share if the Company’s common stock trades at a price greater than $0.50 per share. The options carried a value of $898,490 which was recorded as a derivative liability as discussed inNote 5 – Derivative Liabilities. On March 31, 2017, the Company, as part of its sale of TPP, cancelled these options and reissued 7,500,000 options that are exercisable for a period of three years and carry an exercise price of $0.18$5.74 per share. All the options were vested immediately. The options carry a ratchet pricing feature whereby they becomeOptions are exercisable at $0.05 per share if the Company’s common stock trades at a price greater than $0.50 per share.

until March 30, 2022. The Company issued 1,000,000 stock options exercisable at $1.00 pursuant to its agreement with Glocal. This agreement was amended on August 9, 2016 in which the option owners forfeited these options. The fair value of the 1,000,000 stock options granted with an exercise price of $1.00 was amortized through the forfeiture resulting in stock based compensation expense of $14,166.

Total stock based compensation expense was $334,997 and $1,123,735 during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 leaving an unrecognized expense of $223,331 as of September 30, 2017. In determining the compensation cost of the stock options granted,has estimated the fair value of each option grant has been estimated onsuch options at a value of $456 at the date of grantissuance using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

The Company believes the amended case is without merit and that, per its agreement to sell its interest in TPP, any claims brought against AIM or TPP would be the responsibilities of the current interest holders. Due to the original suit being filed against AIM and amended to includeOn April 17, 2019, the Company after it disposed of its interest in TPP, which hadentered into a controlling interest in AIM, we believe it likelysettlement agreement (the “SVS Settlement Agreement”) with Comdata, Inc. d/b/a Stored Value Solutions (“SVS”) whereby the Company will pay a total of $37 over 7 months, starting July 1, 2019.

The complaint primarily concerns alleged indebtedness owed SecureIP by Limecom. SecureIP also alleges that Cuentas received certain transfers of funds which it alleges may be an avoidable transfer under Florida Statute §725.105 up to $1,053. Cuentas is contemplating filing a motion to dismiss the complaint and disputes that it received the alleged $1,053 from Limecom. Moreover, to the extent Cuentas has exposure for any transfers from Limecom, both Limecom and Heritage have indemnified Cuentas for any such liability. The Company will vigorously defend its position to be removed as a named party in this demandaction due to the fact that Cuentas rescinded the Limecom acquisition on January 30, 2019.

On January 24, 2020, the Company received a Corrected Notice of Hearing regarding Qualtel SA de CV, a Mexican Company vs Next Communications, Inc. for a “Plaintiff’s Motion for Order to Show Cause and/or for Contempt as it expects to remedy the physical issuance before the endNon-Party, Cuentas, Inc.” The Company retained a counsel and will vigorously defend its position.

Direct ACH DepositsATM Cash WithdrawalBill Pay and Online Purchases

The Cuentas Fin Tech Card is integrated with the Los Angeles Metro, Utah Transit Authority and Grand Rapids Transit system to store mass transit currency and pay for transit access via the Cuentas Digital Wallet

The Cuentas Fintech Card stores products purchased in the Virtual Market Place where Tier-1 retailers, gaming currencies, amazon cash, and wireless telecom prepaid minutes “top ups”. Additionally, well-known brand name restaurants in the marketplace automatically discount purchases at POS when the customer pays the bill with the Cuentas Card.

The Latino Market

The name “Cuentas” is a Spanish word that has multiple meanings and was chosen for strategic reasons, to develop a close relationship with the Spanish speaking population. It means “Accounts” as in bank accounts and it can also mean “You can count on me” as in “Cuentas conmigo”. Aditionally, it can be used to “Pay or settle accounts” (saldar cuentas) , accountability (rendición de cuentas), to be accountable (rendir cuentas), and other significant meanings.

The U.S. Latino population numbers 43.8 million U.S. Immigrants, according to the 2017 FDIC Survey. It excludes immigrants, illegal aliens and undocumented individuals. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) defines the Unbankable as those adults without an account at a bank or other financial institution and are considered to be outside the mainstream for one reason or another. The Federal Reserve estimated that there were approximately 55 million unbanked or underbanked adult Americans in 2018, which account for 22 percent of U.S. households. The Latino demographic is more distrusting of banking institutions and generally have more identification, credit, and former bank account issues more so than any other U. S. minority.

The Cuentas FinTech Card is uniquely positioned to service the Latino demographic with comprehensive financial products that do not require any visits to bank branches, and our fees are completely transparent via the Cuentas Wallet and online banking. Most importantly our strategic banking partner, Sutton Bank, does not require a U.S. government issued identification card.

Products

The Cuentas General-Purpose Reloadable Card (“GPR”)

The Cuentas general-purpose reloadable (“GPR”) acts as a comprehensive banking solution marketed toward the 20 million+ unbanked U.S. Latino community (The unbanked is described by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) as those adults without an account at a bank or other financial institution and are considered to be outside the mainstream for one reason or another. The Federal Reserve estimated that there were approximately 55 million unbanked or underbanked adult Americans in 2018, which account for 22 percent of U.S. households). The Cuentas GPR is uniquely enabling access to the U.S. financial system to those without the necessary paperwork to bank at a traditional financial institution while enabling greater functionality than a traditional bank account. This proprietary GPR card allows consumers that reside in the US to acquire a Cuentas GPR prepaid debit card using their US or Foreign Passport, Driver’s License, Matricula Consular or certain US Residency documentation. The GPR Card provides an FDIC insured bank account with ATM, direct deposit, cash reload, fee free Cuentas App to Cuentas App fund transfers and mobile banking capabilities, among other key features such as purchasing discounted gift cards and adding Mass Transit Credits to digital accounts (available in California, Connecticut, Michigan and shortly, New York City). Upcoming App upgrades will also include international remittance and other services. Subsequent stages will see the integration of the Cuentas Store where consumers will be able to use funds in their account to purchase 3rd party digital and gift cards (many at discounted prices), US & International mobile phone top-ups, mass transportation and tolling access (select markets - CT, NYC, Grand Rapids-MI, LA, etc.) as well as digital Content for Gaming/Dining/Shopping and Cash reloads.


The Cuentas app is available for download now on the Apple App Store and on the Google Play Store for Android, allows consumers to easily activate their Cuentas prepaid Mastercard, review their account balance and conduct financial transactions. Cuentas is introducing fee free fund transfers to friends, family and vendors that have their own Cuentas App, which will be a very useful feature to compete with other popular Apps that charges fees for immediate fund transfers and availability on the same day.

The Cuentas Business Model

The Cuentas business model leverages profitability from multiple revenue sources, many of which are synergistic market segments.

The Cuentas GPR card has several revenue centers. The Company will receive a onetime activation charge for each activated GPR card and a monthly recurring charge. These charges were designed to be very reasonable to both consumers and the Company. In addition to these charges, Cuentas will receive a commission each time funds are loaded and reloaded to the card.

The Cuentas Wallet produces recurring profits and is an integral part of the Cuentas offering. It will produce revenue each time that consumers purchase third party gift cards, digital access, mass transit tickets, mobile phone topups (US & International) and more - most at discounted prices. The actual discount is shown to the consumer and is immediately applied to their purchase, so smart shoppers will be able to get everyday products and services at discounted prices.

The Cuentas Wallet is projected to add several new, profitable, mass market services including bill pay and international remittances.

Cuentas Rewards offers free long distance calling to its cardholders, who earn value with certain transactions. Our target demographic uses both internet and prepaid calling services to communicate with family members around the US and in their country. This added benefit is designed, at a very low cost, to provide extra benefits to our cardholders which should help to maintain and solidify valuable relationships with them.

Prepaid Debit Card Market Overview

The Research and Markets report titled “Prepaid Card Market: Payment Trends, Market Dynamics, and Forecasts 2020 - 2025” released in January 2020 states that “In the United States, prepaid cards remain the preferred choice for the unbanked market segment....” It also states that “The move towards a cashless society is substantial, further driving the prepaid card market.”

Major competitors to Cuentas are Green Dot, American Express Serve, Netspend Prepaid, Starbucks Rewards, Walmart Money card and Akimbo Prepaid.

Cuentas is strategically positioned in the marketplace to have a lower monthly fee and lower reload fees than most cards. Additional benefits and features should move the Cuentas card ahead of other offerings as consumers realize the value of the Cuentas wallet and Rewards program.

The Cuentas Technology platform

The Cuentas technology platform is comprised of CIMA Group’s Knetik and Auris software platforms. The platform is built on a powerful integrated component framework delivering a variety of capabilities accessible by a set of industry standard REST-based API endpoints. In addition to handling electronic transactions such as deposits and purchasing, the platform will have the capability of organizing virtual currencies into wallets, essentially future proofing it in todays’ evolving financial environment.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCESaccounts receivable and accounts payable and capital expenditures.

 

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017, the Company2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of $57,432, net current assets$22,000 as compared to $16,000 as of $824,812 and current liabilitiesDecember 31, 2019. As of $7,975,896 creatingJune 30, 2020, we had a working capital deficit of $7,151,084. $3,507,000 thousand, as compared to a deficit of $3,752,000 as of December 31, 2019. The decrease in our working capital deficit was mainly attributable to the decrease of $599,000 in our stocked based liabilities which was mitigated by the increase of $383,000 in our Accounts Payables.

Net cash used in operating activities was $384,716 and $967,736$1,011,000 for the nine monthssix-month period ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Current assets consisted2020, as compared to cash used in operating activities of $57,432 of cash; $159,252 of accounts receivable; $49,720 of related party accounts receivable; $8,408 of prepaid expenses and $550,000 of investments.

As of December 31, 2016, the Company had $256,302 of cash, total current assets of $564,938 and total current liabilities of $10,324,057 creating a working capital deficit of $9,759,119.

Going Concern

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company does not have significant cash or other current assets, nor does it have an established source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. 

Under the going concern assumption, an entity is ordinarily viewed as continuing in business$784,000 for the foreseeable future with neither the intention nor the necessity of liquidation, ceasing trading, or seeking protection from creditors pursuant to laws or regulations. Accordingly, assets and liabilities are recorded on the basis that the entity will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plan described in the Business paragraph and eventually attain profitable operations. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.   

During the next year, the Company’s foreseeable cash requirements will relate to continual development of the operations of its business, maintaining its good standing and making the requisite filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the payment of expenses associated with research and development associated with the launch of the company’s Cuentas branded NextCala general purpose reloadable card. The Company may experience a cash shortfall and be required to raise additional capital. 

Historically, it has mostly relied upon internally generated funds and funds from the sale of shares of stock to finance its operations and growth. Management may raise additional capital through future public or private offerings of the Company’s stock or through loans from private investors, although there can be no assurance that it will be able to obtain such financing. The Company’s failure to do so could have a material and adverse affect upon it and its shareholders.   

Operating Activities

The Company used $384,716 of cash in operations during the nine monthssix-month period ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 and $967,736 during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.2019. The Company’s primary uses of cash have been for professional support marketing expenses and working capital. Net cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 consisted of net income of $62,761, non-cash losses and gains totaling $738,530 and changes in working capital of $291,053. All cash received has been expended in the furtherance of growing future operations. purposes.

 

Investing Activities

The Company generated cash from investing activities of $0 and $85,486 during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. The $85,486 generated from investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was the collection of a related party receivable of $41,913 and cash acquired in acquisitions net of cash paid totaling $43,573.

22

Financing Activities

The Company generated cash from financing activities of $185,846 during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $998,801 during the same period in 2016. Net cash provided by financing activities in 2017 consisted of repayments of a bank overdraft of $7, proceeds from loans payable of $116,395 and proceeds from related party loans of $69,458. Netwas approximately $1,017,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020, as compared to net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $690,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019. We have principally financed our operations in 2016 consisted of proceeds from bank overdrafts of $1,704, proceeds from loans payable of $50,000, repayments of loans payable totaling $20,961, proceeds from convertible notes of $969,130, repayments of related party loans payable of $47,481, $1,184 of cash assumed2019 through the reverse capitalizationsale of our common stock to private investors, issuance of convertible loans debt and $45,225 of cash contributed in an acquisitionloans from a related party.our shareholders.

 

TheDue to our operational losses, we have principally financed our operations through the sale of our Common Stock and the issuance of convertible debt.

Despite the Capital raise that we have conducted the above conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Although we anticipate that cash resources will be available to the Company maythrough its current operations, it believes existing cash will not havebe sufficient resources to fully develop any new products or expandfund planned operations and projects investments through the next 12 months. Therefore, we are still striving to increase our market area unless it is able tosales, attain profitability and raise additional financing. The Company can makefunds for future operations. Any meaningful equity or debt financing will likely result in significant dilution to our existing stockholders. There is no assurances these requiredassurance that additional funds will be available on favorable terms ifacceptable to us, or at all.    If additional capital is raised

Since inception, we have financed our cash flow requirements through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of common stock, related party advances and debt. As we expand our activities, we may, and most likely will, continue to experience net negative cash flows from operations. Additionally, we anticipate obtaining additional financing to fund operations through common stock offerings, to the extent available, or to obtain additional financing to the extent necessary to augment our working capital. In the future we need to generate sufficient revenues from sales in order to eliminate or reduce the need to sell additional stock or obtain additional loans. There can be no assurance we will be successful in raising the necessary funds to execute our business plan.

We anticipate that we will incur operating losses in the next twelve months. Our lack of operating history makes predictions of future operating results difficult to ascertain. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stage of development, particularly companies in new and rapidly evolving markets. Such risks for us include, but are not limited to, an evolving and unpredictable business model and the management of growth.

To address these risks, we must, among other things, implement and successfully execute our business and marketing strategy surrounding our Cuentas braded general-purpose reloadable cards, continually develop and upgrade our website, respond to competitive developments, lower our financing costs and specifically our accounts receivable factoring costs, and attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in addressing such securities would result in dilution to our existing stockholders. Additionally, these conditions may increase costs to raise capital and/or result in further dilution. Therisks, and the failure to raise capital when needed, will adversely affectdo so can have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition and results of operations, and could force the Company to reduce or cease operations.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company believes that it will be able to meet the costs of growth and public reporting with funds generated from operations and additional amounts generated through debt and equity financing, Although management believes that the required financing to fund product development and increasing inventory levels can be securedAs at terms satisfactory to the Company, there is no guarantee these funds will be made available, and if funds are available, that the terms will be satisfactory to the Company.

Impact of Inflation

The Company does not expect inflation to be a significant factor in operation of the business.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

There areJune 30, 2020, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements between the Company andof any other entity that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on financial conditions, changes in financial conditions, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon The Company’s financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Management believes that the application of these policies on a consistent basis enables us to provide useful and reliable financial information about our operating results and financial condition. Some of the critical accounting estimates are detailed below.nature.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates and New Accounting Pronouncements

Critical Accounting EstimatesPolicies

 

The preparation of financial statements in accordanceconformity with accounting principles generally acceptedGAAP in the U.S.United States requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and assumptionsjudgments that affect the amounts reported amountsin the financial statements, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures inof commitments and contingencies, if any. Note 3 to our consolidated audited financial statements filed with the financial statements. Management considers an accounting estimate to be critical if:

it requires assumptions to be made that were uncertain at the time the estimate was made, and
changes in the estimate or different estimates that could have been selected could have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition.

The Company base estimates and judgmentsCompany’s Annual Report on experience, current knowledge, and beliefs of what could occur inForm 10-K for the future, observation of trends infiscal year ended December 31, 2019 describes the industry, information provided by customers and information available from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The Company has identified the followingsignificant accounting policies and estimates as those that are believedmethods used in the preparation of our financial statements. We consider our critical accounting policies to be the most criticalthose related to intangible assets, going concern share-based payments because they are both important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operationsrequire management to make judgments and that require management’s most subjective and complex judgments in estimating the effect of inherent uncertainties: share-based compensation expense, income taxes, and derivative financial instruments.

23

Share-Based Compensation Expense

We calculate share-based compensation expense for option awards and warrant issuances (“Share-based Awards”) based on the estimated grant/issue-date fair value using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model (“Black-Scholes Model”), and recognize the expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, net of estimated forfeitures. The Black-Scholes Model requires the use of a number of assumptions including volatility of the stock price, the weighted average risk-free interest rate, and the vesting period of the Share-based Award in determining the fair value of Share-based Awards. Although we believe our assumptions used to calculate share-based compensation expense are reasonable, these assumptions can involve complex judgmentsestimates about future events, which are open to interpretation and inherent uncertainty. In addition, significant changes to our assumptions could significantly impact the amount of expense recorded in a given period.uncertain matters.

 

Recent Accounting PronouncementsStandards announced

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The amendments apply to reporting entities that are required to make disclosures about recurring or nonrecurring fair value measurements and should improve the cost, benefit, and effectiveness of the disclosures. ASU 2018-13 categorized the changes into those disclosures that were removed, those that were modified, and those that were added. The primary disclosures that were removed related to transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 investments, along with the policy for timing of transfers between levels. In addition, disclosing the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements was removed. The amendments are effective for all organizations for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company notes that this guidance will impact its disclosures beginning January 1, 2020.

In June 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. In November 2018, FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses”, which amends the scope and transition requirements of ASU 2016-13. Topic 326 requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The measurement of expected credit losses is 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. Topic 326 will originally become effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted, on a modified retrospective approach. As a smaller reporting company, the effective date for the Company has been delayed until fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, in accordance with ASU 2019-10, although early adoption is still permitted. This standard is not expected to have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements after evaluation.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The amendments in this ASU simplify the accounting for income taxes, eliminates certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and clarifies certain aspects of the current guidance to improve consistent application among reporting entities. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, though early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period for which financial statements have not yet been issued. This standard is not expected to have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements after evaluation.

Not required.As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this item.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.


The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, and as discussed in greater detail below, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, disclosure controls and procedures are not effective: 

 

 to give reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in reports that are file under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and
   
 to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that are file or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management, including our CEO and our Treasurer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Based on that evaluation, management concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective due to the following material weakness identified:

 

Lack of appropriate segregation of duties,

Lack of information technology (“IT”) controls over revenue,

Lack of adequate review of internal controls to ascertain effectiveness,

Lack of control procedures that include multiple levels of supervision and review, and

Implemented or Planned Remedial Actions in response to the Material Weaknesses

 

LackWe will continue to strive to correct the above noted weakness in internal control once we have adequate funds to do so. We believe appointing a director who qualifies as a financial expert will improve the overall performance of our control procedures that include multiple levels of supervision and review, andover our financial reporting.

 

There is an overreliance upon independentBecause of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting consultants for reviewmay not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of critical accounting areas and disclosures and material, nonstandard transactions.any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

There haveManagement is in the process of determining how best to change our current system and implement a more effective system to ensure that information required to be disclosed has been no changesrecorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately. Our management acknowledges the existence of this issue, and intends to develop procedures to address it to the extent possible given limitations in financial and human resources in and to remediate all the material weaknesses by the end of the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2020.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

Our management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, performed an evaluation to determine whether any change in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the six-month period covered by this report.

ended June 30, 2020. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and our CFO concluded that no change occurred in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
