(In thousands, except per share data)

In 2013, AppTech merged with Transcendent One, Inc., whereby Transcendent One, Inc. and its management took controlling ownership of the Company. During this time, AppTech operated as a merchant services provider, continuing the business conducted by Transcendent One, Inc.

In 2017, the Company acquired assets from GlobalTel Media, Inc. The assets included patented, enterprise-grade software for advanced text messaging. In addition to the software, this acquisition included associated databases, four patents in text technology, and additional intellectual property for mobile payments.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The Company’saccompanying consolidated unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Also see Note 3.In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal, recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021. Although management believes that the disclosures in these unaudited financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

9

 

The accompanying consolidated unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and notes related thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2022. The interim results for the three months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ended December 31, 2022 or for any future interim periods.

Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AppTech Payments Corp., its wholly owned subsidiary of which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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. Significant estimates include the estimated liabilities related to various vendors in which communications have ceased, contingent liabilities, and realization of tax deferred tax assets and capitalization of software development.assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Cash and cash equivalents are maintained at financial institutions and, at times, balances may exceed federally insured limits of $250,000250 thousand per institution that pays Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance premiums. The Company has never experienced any losses related to these balances.

The accounts receivable from merchant services are paid by the financial institutions on a monthly basis. The Company currently uses nineseven financial institutionsinstitutions to service their merchants for which represented 100% of accounts receivable as of SeptemberJune 30, 2021 and 2020.2022. The loss of one of these financial institutions would not have a significant impact on the Company’s operations as there are additional financial institutions available to the Company. For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and 2020,2021, the one merchant (customer) represented approximately 16%8% and 36% 40%of the total revenues, respectively. The loss of this customer would not have significant impact on the Company’s operations.

Software Development Costs

The Company capitalizes software development costs in developing internal use software when capitalizing requirements have been met. Costs prior to meeting the capitalization requirements are expensed as incurred.


Revenue Recognition

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, codified as Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. The Company adopted ASC 606 effective January 1, 2019 using modified retrospective basis and the cumulative effect was immaterial to the financial statements.

The Company provides merchant processing solutions for credit cards and electronic payments. In all cases, the Company acts as an agent between the merchant which generates the credit card and electronic payments, and the bank which processes such payments. The Company’s revenue is generated on services priced as a percentage of transaction value or a specified fee transaction, depending on the card or transaction type. Revenue is recorded as services are performed which is typically when the bank processes the merchant’s credit card and electronic payments.

Consideration paid to customers such as amounts earned under our customer equity incentive program, are recorded as a reduction to revenues. There were no amounts paid or incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“(“ASC 820”) to measure and disclose the fair value of its financial instruments. ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in U.S. GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements and establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The three levels of fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820 are described below:

Level 1Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
Level 2Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.
Level 3Pricing inputs that are generally unobservable inputs and not corroborated by market data.

 

10

Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

The carrying amounts reported in the Company’s financial statements for cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturematurity of these financial instruments.

Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s-lengtharms-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free-marketing dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm’s-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated.

The following table presents liabilities that are measured and recognized at fair value as of SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and December 31, 20202021 on recurring basis:basis (in thousands):

See Note 76 for discussion of valuation and roll forward related to derivative liabilities.

Intangible Assets and Patents

Our intangible assets only consist of patents. We amortize the patents on a straight-line basis over 15 years, which approximates the way the economic benefits of the intangible asset will be consumed.

Research and Development

In accordance with ASC 730, Research and Development (“R&D”) costs are expensed when incurred. R&D costs include costs of acquiring patents and other unproven technologies, contractor fees and other costs associated with the development of the SMS short code texting platform, contract and other outside services. Total R&D costs for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were $4.9 million and $0, respectively.

Per Share Information

Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year, increased by the potentially dilutive common shares that were outstanding during the year. Dilutive securities include stock options, warrants granted, convertible debt and convertible preferred stock.

The number of common stock equivalents not included in diluted income per share was 12,498,187 6,176,102and 5,616,624 1,272,001 for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and 2020,2021, respectively. The weighted average number of common stock equivalents is not included in diluted income (loss) per share, because the effects are anti-dilutive.

Total  12,498,187   5,616,624   6,176,102   1,272,001 

Derivative Liability

The Company issued debts that consist of the issuance of convertible notes with variable conversion provisions. In addition, the Company issued warrants with variable anti-dilution provisions. The conversion terms of the convertible notes and warrants are variable based on certain factors, such as the future price of the Company’s common stock. The number of shares of common stock to be issued is based on the future price of the Company’s common stock. The number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the promissory note is indeterminate. Pursuant to ASC 815-15 Embedded Derivatives, the fair values of the variable conversion option and warrants and shares to be issued were recorded as derivative liabilities on the issuance date and at each reporting period.

New Accounting Pronouncements

The FASB issues ASUs to amend the authoritative literature in ASC. There have been a number of ASUs to date that amend the original text of ASC. The Company believes those issued to date either (i) provide supplemental guidance, (ii) are technical corrections, (iii) are not applicable to the Company or (iv) are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company.

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company incurred a net loss of $75,494,381 and $2,898,406 and used cash of $3,027,981 and $303,235 in operating activities. In addition, the Company had a working capital deficit of $6,026,048 and an accumulated deficit of $120,442,111 as of September 30, 2021. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. We have evaluated the conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability as a going concern within one year of issuance of the financial statements.

While the Company is continuing operations and generating revenues, the Company’s cash position is not significant enough to support the Company’s daily operations. To fund operations and reduce the working capital deficit, the Company intends to raise additional funds through public or private debt and/or equity offerings. During 2021, the Company received $2,430,750 from eleven sales of a repurchase option. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to further implement its business plan and generate revenues provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern, however, such are not guaranteed. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to generate revenues and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect, nor can there be assurance that such funds will be at acceptable terms. Subsequent to September 30, 2021, the Company has received an additional $127,500 through October 28, 2021. As of the date of these financial statements, the Company has not finalized a commitment for additional capital. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to further implement its business plan and generate revenues and cash flows. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.


Risks and Uncertainties

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus outbreak a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern” and on March 10, 2020, declared it to be a pandemic. Actions taken around the world to help mitigate the spread of the coronavirus include restrictions on travel, and quarantines in certain areas, and forced closures for certain types of public places and businesses. The coronavirus and actions taken to mitigate it have had and are expected to continue to have an adverse impact on the economies and financial markets of many countries, including the geographical area in which the Company operates. Since the Company derives its revenues from processing of purchases from our merchant services clients, a downturn in economic activity, such as associated with the current coronavirus pandemic, could reduce the volume of purchases it processes, and thus its revenues. In addition, such a downturn could cause its merchant customers to cease operations permanently decreasing our payment processing unless new customers are found. We may also face additional difficulty in raising capital during an economic downturn. The effects of the pandemic had significant impact on revenue at the beginning of the pandemic and the processors gave significant concessions of reduced fees to minimize the impact of the pandemic. The revenue began to increase after several months as the economy began to reopen using different methods of purchasing especially online purchasing, as well as, the Company has been able to add new customers. The continuing effects of the potential impact cannot be estimated at this time.

Additionally, it is reasonably possible that the estimates made in the financial statements have been or will be materially and adversely impacted in the near term as a result of these conditions. Also, if the development of the Company’s payment platform is not successful, the software development costs will need to be expensed instead of capitalized.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this quarterly report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements,, such as statements regarding the anticipated development and expansion of our business, our intent, belief or current expectations, primarily with respect to the future operating performance of our company and the products and services we expect to offer and other statements contained herein regarding matters that are not historical facts. Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains not only statements that are historical facts, but also forward-looking statements which involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, our actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements.

Business Overview

Through our scalable cloud-based platform architecture and infrastructure coupled with our commerce experiences development and delivery model, we intend to simplify and streamline digital financial services for corporations, small and midsized enterprises (“SMEs”) and consumers. We will accomplish this through innovative omnichannel payment and digital banking technologies that complement our core merchant services capabilities. We believe there is opportunity to generate significant revenue for the Company the near future by providing innovative commerce solutions and experiences that resonate with clients, their customers, and the market as a whole. Further, our soon to be launched modular platform will equip forward-thinking financial institutions, technology companies, and SMEs with operational efficiencies, such as automated financial controls and reconciliation in addition to manual administration.

Today, our Company’s merchant services solutions provide financial processing for businesses to accept cashless and/or contactless payments, such as credit cards, ACH, wireless payments, and more. Our patented, exclusively licensed, and proprietary merchant services software will offer, new integrated solutions for frictionless digital and mobile payment acceptance including acceptance of alternative payment methods (“APMs”). We are extending and enhancing these capabilities with software that solves for multi-use case, multi-channel, API-driven, account-based issuer processing for card, digital tokens, and payment transfer transactions. Our scalable business model allows for expansive white-labeling, SaaS, and embedded solutions that will drive the digital transformation of financial services and generate diverse revenue streams for our company.

The financial services industry is going through a period of intensive change driven by the advancement of technology the adaptation to societal changes resulting from COVID-19, and the rapid rise of contactless transactions.transactions due to societal changes, in part, as a response to COVID-19. End-users expect ease of use and an enhanced user experience in all their daily financial interactions. In this rapidly evolving digital marketplace, our prospective clients, such as merchants and independent software vendors (“ISVs”),businesses have broad and frequently changing requirements to meet consumer expectations and operational efficiencies to maintain their competitive edge.

 

Providing basic payment acceptance and “lowest price” models is no longer the winning formula to support the market. These entities recognize that staying competitive in the digital age requires a partner with a platform and services capable of delivering flexibility and growth while streamlining operations to continually deliver increased revenue and profitability opportunities. Our pricing is extremely competitive, but we believe the value we create for financial institutions, technology companies, and SMEs through our technology, deployment model, services and consultative approach will create true differentiation from our competitors.

Our global financial services platform architecture and infrastructure is designed to be flexible and configurable to meet current and future market needs. This will empower our clients to take advantage of future platform development and new innovative digital financial solutions by leveraging off-the-shelf experiences and consuming our APIs. Additionally, by taking a holistic view of all aspects of our clients’ business, including risk, volume, user experience, integration capabilities and technical needs, we will create optimal and extensible financial technology solutions at a rapid pace.

Through exclusive licensing and partnership agreements to complement our patented technology capabilities, we believe we will become leaders in the embedded payment and digital banking sectors by supporting digital, tokenized, multi-channel, embedded API-driven transactions. We intend to accelerate this position through the integration of our merchant services and a secure text payment solution with extensive digital account-based and multi-channel issuer payment processing capabilities. We believe that this will enable us to provide our clients an end-to-end payment acceptance and digital banking solution powering straight-through processing and embedded payment opportunities in the B2B space. We expect to support clients through the development of custom and off-the-shelf experiences by delivering these solutions through public APIs and Webhooks.

A key to the company’s success and market penetration is the continued development of enterprise-grade, patent protected software for SMS text payments via a mobile device. Our patented technology manages text messaging for processing payments, notification, response, authentication, marketing, advertising, information queries and reports. Once an account is established through a multi-currency digital wallet, neither internet connectivity nor a specific application is required to process payments between merchants and end-users. These features will be particularly beneficial for unbanked and under banked individuals in developing or emerging markets where access to the internet on a mobile device and modern banking institutions may not be readily available. In addition, our software platform will extend merchants’ marketplace capabilities by creating new avenues and channels to request and receive frictionless, digital payments and engaging end-users by utilizing a familiar, convenient, and widely adopted technology.


We believe our technologies will greatly increase the adoption of mobile payments and alternate banking solutions in sectors that must quickly adapt and migrate towards new technologies that facilitate convenient and safe contactless payments. To survive and succeed in this environment, businesses need to adopt new technologies to engage, communicate and process payments and manage payouts with their customers from a supplier that widely supports innovation and adaptation as the industry evolves. We believe our technologies will greatly increase the adoption of omni-channel payments and digital banking solutions in sectors that must quickly adapt and migrate to new, secure digital Fintech technologies. By embracing technological advancementadvancements in the payment and banking industries, we are well-positioned to meet the growing needs of existing and prospective clients and intend for our current and future products to be at the forefront of solving these accelerated market needs.

We are also expanding upon ourAppTech’s platform is currently in the testing phase, with an expected general launch date occurring in the fourth quarter of 2022. The platform will be delivering a best-in-class financial technology foundation into the telehealth and remote patient monitoring sectors in response to cultural shifts and new healthcare demands of society. We have identified a need for the integration of payment acceptance technologies into the burgeoning telehealth sector. We believe this sector’s focus to date has been on providing health-related telecommunications but the way in which fees and payments for these services are requested and accepted is being overlooked. We intend to fill this identified shortfall by developing technologies and payment-relatedcapabilities through an ever-evolving modular cloud/edge-based platform. This platform houses a large array of financial products and services that can be taken off-the-shelf or consumed via modern APIs. Within its platform, AppTech offers three primary products: Payments-as-a-Service (“PaaS”), Banking-as-a-Service (“BaaS”), and Commerce-as-a-Service (“CXS”).

The platform will offer PaaS via integrated solutions for frictionless digital and mobile payment acceptance. These solutions will provide advanced payment processing solutions for credit cards, ACH, and gift/loyalty cards by catering to aid companies providing telehealth solutions. Throughthe needs of each merchant. PaaS will also solve for multi-use case, multi-channel, API-driven, account-based issuer processing for card, digital tokens, and payment transfer transactions.

AppTech is positioned to further fuel digital transformation through BaaS, layered with financial management tools that power Financial Institutions to give businesses, professionals, and individuals the ability to better manage their finances anywhere, anytime at a strategic partnership, we planfraction of the cost of traditional banking and financial services. BaaS creates an ecosystem of immersive and scalable digital financial management services backed by Mastercard & Visa processing certifications.

CXS matches the Fintech layer with User Experience.

The platform also incorporates AppTech’s core, patented text payment and geofence triggered ecommerce and/or advertising via cell phone capabilities delivering experiences that focus on frictionless use cases and end-users desire for payment transaction simplicity, control, and comfort.

As a result, no additional indebtedness is anticipated at this time. Using currently available capital resources, management believes we can conduct planned operations for 45 days, however, management believes we need to raise $5,000,000 to remain in business for the next 12 months. Thesix months ended June 30, 2022 was approximately $13.3 million, which principally consists of net proceeds of this offering will fund$13.4 million through the issuance of common shares and warrants in our anticipated expenses forpublic offering.

Since we derive our revenues principally from processing of purchases from our merchant services clients, a downturn in economic activity, such as that associated with the current corona virus pandemic could reduce the volume of purchases we process, and thus our revenues. In addition, such a downturn could cause our merchant customers to cease operations permanently decreasing our payment processing unless new customers were found. We may also face additional difficulty in raising capital during an economic downturn.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Control systems, no matter how well conceived and operated, are designed to provide a reasonable, but not anabsolute, level of assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instancesof fraud, if any, have been detected. Because of the inherent limitations in any control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
