Rego Payment Architectures, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of the Business
Rego Payment Architectures, Inc. (“REGO”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware on February 11, 2008.
Rego Payment Architectures, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, except where the context requires, the “Company”) is a technology company that will deliver an online and mobile payment platform solution for the family. The system will allow parents and their children to manage, allocate funds and track their expenditures, savings and charitable giving on both a mobile device and online through the Company’s web portal. The Company’s system is designed to allow a minor to transact both online and in traditional brick and mortar retail outlets using the telephone handset as a payment device. The new payment platform will automatically monitorsmonitor regulatory compliance in real-time for all transactions, including protection of vendors from unintended regulatory infractions. In addition, utilizing the same architecture, individual parents will be able to create a contract with each child that sets the rules and parameters of how the child may use the mobile payment system with as much or as little parental oversight as the parent determines is necessary. The Company is including specialized technology that increases and improves the security of the system and protects the user’s identity while in use. While these are the features that separate us from other virtual payment platforms, our software platform may be used by anyone as a digital wallet, adult or child.
Management believes that building on its Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) advantage, the future of the Company will be based on the foundational architecture of the system that will allow its use across multiple financial markets where secure controlled payments are needed. For the under seventeen years of age market, the Company will use its OINK.comown brand. The Company intends to license in each alternative field of use the ability for its partners, distributors and/or value added resellers to private label each of the alternative markets. These partners will deploy, customize and support each implementation under their own label but with acknowledgement of the Company’s proprietary intellectual assets as the base technology. Management believes this approach will enable the Company to reduce expenses while broadening its reach.
Revenues generated from this system are anticipated to come from multiple sources depending on the level of service and facilities requested by the parent. There will be levels of subscription revenue paid monthly, service fees, transaction fees and in some cases revenue sharing with banking and distribution partners.

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). These statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which management believes necessary for a fair presentation of the statements and have been prepared on a consistent basis using the accounting policies described in the summary of Accounting Policies included in the Company’s 20182019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.10-K, as amended (the “Form 10-K”). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed, or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the accompanying disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The accompanying unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20182019 as filed with the SEC. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 20192020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019.2020.
The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including failing to secure additional financing to operationalize the Company’s current technology before another company develops similar technology to compete with the Company.
| 11 |
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
As of June 30, 2020 and for the period then ended, there were no recently adopted accounting pronouncements that had a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842)and subsequent related updates. The core principle of Topic 842 is that a lessee should recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases. The Company adopted the standard effective January 1, 2019 under the optional transition method which allows the entity to apply the new lease standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment, if any, to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities arising from short-term leases and therefore the standard did not have a material impact on the consolidated statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
As of June 30, 2019,2020, there are no recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted which would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
NOTE 2 – MANAGEMENT PLANS
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred significant losses and experienced negative cash flow from operations since inception. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Since inception, the Company has focused on developing and implementing its business plan. The Company believes that its existing cash resources will not be sufficient to sustain operations during the next twelve months. The Company currently needs to generate revenue in order to sustain its operations. In the event that the Company cannot generate sufficient revenue to sustain its operations, the Company will need to reduce expenses or obtain financing through the sale of debt and/or equity securities. The issuance of additional equity would result in dilution to existing shareholders. If the Company is unable to obtain additional funds when they are needed or if such funds cannot be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company, the Company would be unable to execute upon the business plan or pay costs and expenses as they are incurred, which would have a material, adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations.
The Company’s current monetization model is to derive revenues from levels of subscription revenue paid monthly, service fees, transaction fees and in some cases revenue sharing with banking and distribution partners. As these bases of revenues grow, the Company expects to generate additional revenue to support operations.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic which continues to spread throughout the United States. On March 19, 2020, the Governor of Pennsylvania declared a health emergency and issued an order to close all nonessential businesses until further notice. The Company has temporarily curtailed its business operations and has required employees to work from home. While the Company expects this matter to negatively impact its results of operations, cash flow and financial position, the related financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
As of August 14, 2019,2020, the Company has a cash position of approximately$108,000.approximately $1.4 million. Based upon the current cash position and the Company’s planned expense run rate, management believes the Company has funds currently to finance its operations throughSeptember 2019.through October 2020.

To the extent the actual forfeiture rate is different from what we have estimated, stock-based compensation related to these awards will be different from the Company’s expectations. The difference between the stock options exercisable at June 30, 20192020 and the stock options exercisable and expected to vest relates to management’s estimate of options expected to vest in the future.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Overview
Rego Payment Architectures, Inc. (the “Company,” “we”, or “us”) was incorporated in Delaware on February 11, 2008 under the name Chimera International Group, Inc. On April 4, 2008, we amended our certificate of incorporation and changed our name to Moggle, Inc. On August 22, 2011, we filed a Certificate of Ownership with the Secretary of State of Delaware, pursuant to which the Company’s newly-formed wholly-owned subsidiary, Virtual Piggy Incorporated was merged into and with the Company (the “Merger”). In connection with the Merger and in accordance with Section 253 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the name of the Company was changed from “Moggle, Inc.” to “Virtual Piggy, Inc.” On February 28, 2017, we amended our certificate of incorporation and changed our name to Rego Payment Architectures, Inc. Our principal offices are located at 18327 Gridley Road,325 Sentry Parkway, Suite K Cerritos, CA 90703200, Blue Bell , PA 19422 and our telephone number is (561) 220-0408.(267) 465-7530.
As of the date of this report, we have not generated significant revenues. Our initial business plan was to develop an online game platform to allow game companies to create, monetize and distribute massive multiplayer online games (MMOG). The Company technology was the monetization component of this overall software platform (our “Platform”). During 2010, we analyzed the market potential for an expanded Company solution and decided to concentrate our efforts on the delivery of a full-featured Company solution that was not restricted to online gaming. The expanded Company solution is designed to provide a complete online solution for families and parents to teach their children about financial management and spending on gaming, retail, music and entertainment. In late 2013, we rebranded our Company product under the name “Oink®”. In March 2016, we discontinued our prior Oink product offering.
Our CEO’s focus is monetizing the Platform in the FinTech industry and crypto currencies, through technology licensing and similar partnerships. We are focused on building and improving the existing Platform and App that will act as the foundation for the strategic alignment with the Financial Technology (“FinTech”) industry. The FinTech industry is composed primarily of startup companies that use software to provide financial services more efficiently and less costly than traditional financial service companies. With our Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) and GDPRkidsTM Trustmark compliant technology as an added feature, we believe we willmay have better market success.
Strategic Outlook
We believe that the virtual goods market and the FinTech industry will continue to grow over the long term. Within the market and industry, we intend to provide services to allow transactions with children in compliance with COPPA and similar international privacy laws. We believe that this particular opportunity is relatively untapped and intend to be a leading provider of online transactions for children.
Sustained spending on technology, our ability to raise additional financing, our ability to successfully implement technology partnerships or joint ventures, the continued growth of the FinTech industry, and compliance with regulatory and reporting requirements are all external conditions that may affect our ability to execute our business plan. In addition, the FinTech industry is intensely competitive, and most participants have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial, technical, marketing, customer service and other resources, and greater name recognition. In addition, certain potential customers, particularly large organizations, may view our small size and limited financial resources as a negative even if they prefer our offering to those of our competitors.
Our goal, moving forward is to enable both incumbent and new FinTech participants, as well as key verticals with a large base of ‘family accounts,’ to provide their consumers with safe and empowering youth money management and financial literacy content and tools via the mobile payment platform.
| 23 |
While some of the Rego Platform can be easily duplicated/commoditized, such as the app skin, APIs to retailers, APIs to financial infrastructure and cloud storage, we believe that defending our market position rests on three factors:
| 1. | The ability to define data control settings from parent to child. |
Our approach to this opportunity uses a master account to dictate purchase rules to sub-accounts via a hierarchical architecture. This approach adheres to data flow and privacy policy requirements specifically outlined for COPPA compliance. We believe other approaches based on machine learning, or other artificial intelligence methodologies are potentially viable alternatives but are likely too costly, do not meet current compliance timelines, and may defy the core of COPPA’s “opt-in” parameters. There is considerable room for next-generation automation techniques to be layered on Rego’s hierarchical approach. Given its current stability and scalability metrics, the Rego Platform strongly features these advances in its technical development roadmap without compromising any of its current data control performance.
| 2. | The ability to (mis)attribute the child’s transaction and personal identification. |
Rego has solved this issue by masking user data and maintaining separate identity and financial data flows. As a result, Rego can verify the age of the internet user throught the transaction lifecycle on its Platform. Authenticating and validating the identity of the actual user on the internet is one of the more difficult cybersecurity challenges. Current approaches are mainly not for commercial use; however, there is investment in commercial innovation in this area. Rego’s data control features and its (mis)attribution approach are inextricably linked and a key to its scalability and extensibility.
| 3. | The ability to disseminate transactional data on minors while remaining COPPA and GDPR compliant. |
The highest value data will be that which shows the most nuanced detail afforded under current regulations. Without extreme data control features, such as in the Rego Platform, any lesser data precision will be less valuable.
These three factors are all supported by Rego’s patented technology.
Currently, we are targeting established brands with large family-focused account bases — including banks, telecommunication companies, faith-based organizations, media distributors, mobile device Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEMs”), and merchants.
Our primary strategic objectives over the next 12-18 months are to increase our user base and the engagement level of that base. We plan to achieve that by implementing our partner-first go to market model in which established payments market leaders and vertical market participants can incorporate and integrate our platform into co-branded payments solutions targeting youth and family. We are pursuing both domestic and international opportunities for the use of our payment platform. These opportunities have customer bases of their own that they could bring to our platform, thus minimizing the marketing costs for the Company, that would normally need to be incurred. Management believes this approach will enable the Company to reduce expenses while broadening its reach.
Within this model, the Company is incorporating licensing fees. This should enable the Company to begin creating shareholder value above and beyond consumer transaction fees. As our service grows, we intend to hire additional information technology staff to maintain our product offerings and develop new products to increase our market share.
We believe that our near-term success will depend particularly on our ability to develop customer awareness and confidence in our service. Since we have extremely limited capital resources, we will need to closely manage our expenses and conserve our cash by continually monitoring any increase in expenses and reducing or eliminating unnecessary expenditures. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties encountered by companies at an early stage of development, particularly given that we operate in new and rapidly evolving markets, that we have limited financial resources, and face an uncertain economic environment. We may not be successful in addressing such risks and difficulties.

Cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2019, consisted of convertible notes payable and notes payable to provide capital to continue operations.operations and a loan pursuant to the paycheck protection program.
As we have not realized significant revenues since our inception, we have financed our operations through offerings of debt and equity securities. We do not currently maintain a line of credit or term loan with any commercial bank or other financial institution.
Since our inception, we have focused on developing and implementing our business plan. We believe that our existing cash resources will not be sufficient to sustain our operations during the next twelve months. We currently need to generate sufficient revenues to support our cost structure to enable us to pay ongoing costs and expenses as they are incurred, finance the development of our platform, and execute the business plan. If we cannot generate sufficient revenue to fund our business plan, we intend to seek to raise such financing through the sale of debt and/or equity securities. The issuance of additional equity would result in dilution to existing shareholders. The issuance of convertible debt may also result in dilution to existing stockholders. If we are unable to obtain additional funds when they are needed or if such funds cannot be obtained on terms acceptable to us, we will be unable to execute upon the business plan or pay costs and expenses as they are incurred, which would have a material, adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. See Note 2, to our consolidated financial statements included in our most recent Form 10-K.

Even if we are successful in generating sufficient revenue or in raising sufficient capital in order to complete the Platform, our ability to continue in business as a viable going concern can only be achieved when our revenues reach a level that sustains our business operations. The launch of the Platform is expected in the firstfourth quarter of 2020, however, we do not project that significant revenue will be developed until later in 2020.2021. There can be no assurance that we will raise sufficient proceeds, or any proceeds, for us to implement fully our proposed business plan. Moreover there can be no assurance that even if the Platform is fully developed and successfully launched, that we will generate revenues sufficient to fund our operations. In either such situation, we may not be able to continue our operations and our business might fail.
Based upon the current cash position and the Company’s planned expense run rate, management believes the Company will not be able to finance its operations beyond September 2019.October 2020.
The foregoing forward-looking information was prepared by us in good faith based upon assumptions that we believe to be reasonable. No assurance can be given, however, regarding the attainability of the projections or the reliability of the assumptions on which they are based. The projections are subject to the uncertainties inherent in any attempt to predict the results of our operations, especially where new products and services are involved. Certain of the assumptions used will inevitably not materialize and unanticipated events will occur. Actual results of operations are, therefore, likely to vary from the projections and such variations may be material and adverse to us. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that such results will be achieved. Moreover due to changes in technology, new product announcements, competitive pressures, system design and/or other specifications we may be required to change the current plans.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2019,2020, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements are impacted by the accounting policies used and the estimates and assumptions made by management during their preparation. A complete summary of these policies is included in Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019. We have identified below the accounting policies that are of particular importance in the presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows and which require the application of significant judgment by management.
Stock-based Compensation
We have adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) 718. In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 “Share-Based Payment” (“SAB 107”) in March, 2005, which provides supplemental FASB ASC 718 application guidance based on the views of the SEC. Under FASB ASC 718, compensation cost recognized includes compensation cost for all share-based payments granted beginning January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 718.
We have used the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the option fair values. The option-pricing model requires a number of assumptions, of which the most significant are, expected stock price volatility, the expected pre-vesting forfeiture rate and the expected option term (the amount of time from the grant date until the options are exercised or expire).
All issuances of stock options or other equity instruments to non-employees as consideration for goods or services received by the Company are accounted for based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued. Non-employee equity based payments that do not vest immediately upon grant are recorded as an expense over the vesting period.
Revenue Recognition
In accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition (Codified in FASB ASC 606), we will recognize revenue when (i) persuasive evidence of a customer or distributor arrangement exists or acceptance occurs, (ii) a retailer, distributor or wholesaler receives the goods, (iii) the price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability of the sales revenues is reasonably assured. Subject to these criteria, we have generally recognized revenue from our prior Oink product at the time of the sale of the associated goods.
