ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS | 1. ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS Excel Corporation (the “Company”) was organized on November 13, 2010 as a Delaware corporation. The Company has three wholly owned subsidiaries, Excel Business Solutions, Inc. (d/b/a eVance Capital), Payprotec Oregon, LLC (d/b/a Securus Payments), (“Securus”), and eVance Processing Inc. (“eVance”). We sell integrated financial and transaction processing services to businesses throughout the United States. We provide these services through our wholly-owned subsidiaries, eVance and Securus. Through our eVance subsidiary, we provide an integrated suite of third-party merchant payment processing services and related proprietary software enabling products that deliver credit and debit card-based internet payments processing solutions primarily to small and mid-sized merchants operating in physical “brick and mortar” business environments, on the internet and in retail settings requiring both wired and wireless mobile payment solutions. We operate as an independent sales organization (“ISO”) generating individual merchant processing contracts in exchange for future residual payments. As a wholesale ISO, eVance has a direct contractual relationship with the merchants and takes greater responsibility in the approval and monitoring of merchants than do retail ISOs and we receive additional consideration for this service and risk. Securus operates as a retail ISO and receives residual income as commission for merchants it places with third party processors. On November 30, 2015, eVance entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Calpian, Inc. (“Calpian”), Calpian Residual Acquisition, LLC (“CRA”) and Calpian Commerce, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Calpian (“CCI,” and collectively with Calpian and CRA, the “Sellers”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, eVance acquired substantially all of the U.S. assets and operations of the Sellers. In consideration for the acquired assets, eVance assumed certain of the Sellers’ liabilities, including an aggregate of $9,000,000 of notes payable and certain of the Sellers’ outstanding contractual obligations. On April 12, 2016, eVance entered into an agreement with the Sellers and a cancellation of securities acknowledgement with one of eVance’s note-holders whereby the noteholder cancelled its note in the amount of $720,084 and Calpian issued eVance a note in the amount of $675,000 in exchange for eVance and the Sellers mutually waiving any claims either party has or could have under the Purchase Agreement against the other. The $675,000 note bears simple interest of 12% per annum payable monthly and matures on November 30, 2017. As part of the Purchase Agreement, eVance acquired several residual portfolios including the supporting contracts (residual purchase agreements). eVance, as successor under one of these residual purchase agreements, has sued a third party for breach of contract on the residual purchase agreement between the third party and Seller and claimed damages in excess of $1,500,000. eVance has agreed to apply any recovery from such litigation (less costs) against the principal balance of the $675,000 note up to a maximum of $675,000. The Company reflected the reduction in the assumed debt by $720,084 as a reduction in goodwill and a reduction in the debt assumed. In addition, the noteholder returned a warrant to purchase 360,042 shares of the Company’s common stock. As a result of this agreement, the $9,000,000 of notes payable was reduced to $8,279,916. On April 30, 2016, Securus entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “2016 Purchase Agreement”) with Chyp LLC (“Chyp”). In connection with the 2016 Purchase Agreement, Chyp executed a three-year preferred marketing agreement with eVance. Chyp acquired substantially all of the operations of Securus including its sales and marketing operations located in Portland, Oregon and West Palm Beach, Florida. Securus retained the approximately 5,000 merchants and related merchant processing residual portfolios. |
