NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2021, AND DECEMBER 31, 2020

​

NOTE 1 BUSINESS DESCRIPTION BACKGROUND

Alfi, Inc. is a C-corporation formed in Delaware that operates in the technology sector; specifically, Software as a Service (SaaS) in the Digital Out Of Home (DOOH) Smart Advertising segment. This segment includes artificial intelligence, machine & deep learning, edge computing, Big Data, telecommunications, and the Internet of Things (IoT). Alfi, Inc. includes its wholly owned subsidiary Alfi, NI Ltd, the results of which are presented on a combined basis in the consolidated financial statements included in this Report. Alfi, NI Ltd is a registered business in Belfast, Ireland. Collectively, the combined consolidated entity is referred to as the “Company” throughout this Report.

The Company’s timeline of events relative to its current formation above began on April 4, 2018, when Lectrefy, Inc., a Florida corporation, was organized. On July 6, 2018, Lectrefy, Inc, a Delaware corporation was organized. On July 11, 2018, Lectrefy, Inc. of Florida was merged into a newly created entity Lectrefy, Inc. of Delaware. On July 25, 2018, Lectrefy Inc. of Delaware qualified to do business in Florida. On January 31, 2020, Lectrefy, Inc. of Delaware changed its name to Alfi, Inc.

On September 18, 2018, Lectrefy, NI Ltd was organized in Belfast, Ireland. On February 4, 2020, Lectrefy, NI Ltd.’s name was changed to Alfi NI Ltd. On February 13, 2020, Lectrefy Inc. Delaware registered it name change in the State of Florida to Alfi, Inc.

In 2019, the Company’s software product received initial certification compliance with GDPR government regulatory standards, the highest level of privacy compliance certification available in its jurisdiction. As of June 2020, the Company’s products were fully developed and are currently being deployed to customers.

The Company uses artificial intelligence and big data analytics to measure and predict human response. Its computer vision technology is powered by proprietary artificial intelligence, to determine the age, gender, ethnicity, geolocation, and emotion of someone in front of an Alfi-enabled device, such as a tablet or kiosk. Its software can then deliver in real-time, the advertisements to that viewer based on the viewer’s demographic and psychographic profile. It delivers the right content, to the right person at the right time in a responsible and ethical manner. By delivering advertisements a viewer wants, the Company provides its advertising customers the viewers they want, and the result is higher click through rates, or CTRs and higher CPM, cost per thousand, rates.

The Company has created an enterprise grade, multimedia state-of-the-art computer vision and machine learning platform, generating powerful advertising recommendations and insights. Multiple technologies work together in its software with viewer privacy and reporting objectives as the Company’s two goals. The software uses a facial fingerprinting process to make demographic determinations. As such, the Company makes no attempt to identify the individual in front of the screen. By providing age, gender, ethnicity and geolocation information, brand owners have all the data they need for meaningful interaction.

The Company solves the problem of providing real time, accurate and rich reporting on customer demographics, usage, interactivity, and engagement while never storing any personal identifiable information of its users. No viewer is ever required, or requested, to enter any information about themselves on any Alfi-enabled device. Alfi was designed to be fully compliant with all privacy regulations. Alfi is fully compliant with the GDPR, General Data Protection Regulation, in Europe, the CCPA, California Consumer Privacy Act, and HIPAA, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act.

The Company’s initial focus is to place its Alfi-enabled devices in rideshares, retailers, malls, and airports.

The Company’s primary activities since inception have been research and development, managing collaborations, and raising capital. As of the date of this Report, the Company has approximately 9,600 tablets either held as Other Assets (complimentary devices) or in operation currently being used by customers.

NOTE 2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Revenue Recognition

Under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09 (Topic 606) “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, revenue from contracts with customers is measured based on the consideration specified in the contract with the customer.

Alfi generates revenues from three sources. First, Alfi sells advertising and content on its Alfi-enabled tablets and other devices such as kiosks. Second, Alfi licenses its technology to other companies as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) product. Third, Alfi looks to sell the aggregated data reflecting viewer engagement it derives from users of an Alfi-enabled device to advertisers and content providers. Alfi has different customers for each of its revenue streams: (1) companies that buy content space, like CNN, NBC, etc., or companies that buy ad space like Coke, Ford, etc.; (2) companies that pay a per screen fee on a SaaS basis to operate Alfi software on their network, where they sell ads & content and on their own devices; and (3) companies that purchase viewer engagement data on a subscription basis.

With respect to Alfi-enabled tablets or devices placed into service by Alfi, Alfi recognizes revenue on a cost per thousand impressions (CPM), an ad placed, or share-of-voice basis depending on the advertiser’s or content provider’s request. Alfi has contracts with both the advertisers and content providers that specify the amounts to be paid to Alfi for displaying advertising or content. The number of impressions, frequency of ad placement or share of voice the advertiser or content provider is willing to pay and the duration of each campaign is set by the advertiser or content provider. Content and advertisements are provided to Alfi by companies desiring to deliver content for viewer engagement. In general, Alfi does not pay for content, to the extent it does, the cost of acquiring content is be expensed as cost of sales. Alfi will recognize revenue under these contracts upon the validated delivery of impressions to the end user of the Alfi-enabled device.

With respect to SaaS licenses, Alfi enters into license agreements with third parties that place their own devices for advertising together with the remote management access and data reporting that the Alfi platform provides. Additionally, Alfi may form a partnership where the revenues are shared with the licensee.  Licenses may be for a specified duration or on a renewable subscription basis. Alfi charges these third parties a monthly, per screen fee, or other partnership arrangement for use of the Alfi platform. Alfi recognizes the revenue from these licenses or partnership revenue share agreements monthly in accordance with Topic 606.

Alfi believes that the aggregated data of viewer engagement has significant value for advertisers and content providers. Alfi looks to sell such data to third parties on a subscription basis and recognize revenue as the subscription payments are received depending on the nature of the contract. For subscriptions that are prepaid, revenue is recognized as earned; with respect to subscriptions that are not prepaid, revenue is recognized when the data is delivered to the subscriber.

Alfi has distributed and activated into operations over 1,500 devices tablets and kiosks at no cost to rideshare, mall, or airport owner(s). It is the viewers of the Alfi-enabled device, rather than the rideshare, mall or airport owner that the Alfi-enabled device engages with and to whom Alfi delivers advertising and content. It is projected that Alfi will begin selling advertising and content for those tablets placed into operation in the third quarter of 2021.

Alfi has recognized revenue from its rideshare sources. This revenue source for rideshares began at the end of the second quarter.  Additionally, revenues from advertiser and content providers for rideshare and SaaS revenue share partnerships are projected for the third quarter of 2121. Irrespective of revenue generation on devices, when they are physically placed into service, devices are expensed in accordance with the Company’s Cost of Sales policy.

The contracts with a rideshare, mall or airport owners for placing a device in service does not trigger a payment from such party to Alfi. With respect to a kiosk in a mall or airport, Alfi may be paid a separate service fee to maintain the device, but Alfi does not anticipate that to be a material source of revenue. Alfi’s contract with a device host may provide that Alfi pays a revenue sharing amount, or fee, based on the revenue Alfi derives from that device. Alfi will expense that fee in Cost of Sales in accordance with its Cost of Sales policy. In general, a rideshare will not be required to return tablets distributed by Alfi at any time. Removing a tablet from the vehicle or returning it to Alfi would automatically cancel the opportunity for a rideshare to receive commissions. Thus, Alfi does not anticipate that a rideshare would seek to return a tablet. Kiosks, because of their high cost, may either be returned to Alfi or purchased by the facility owner at the end of the contract.

Table of Contents

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020, the Company had earned and recorded $18,386 and $-0- revenue during each period, respectively. Net revenue consisted of one customer concentration for kiosks and ads placed by the call center customers, which represent 100% of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Accounts Receivable

The Company records accounts receivable at its net realizable value.  On June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company had recorded net customer accounts receivable of $-0- and $-0-, respectively.  The Company makes periodic assessment of collectability of accounts receivable balances.

Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Alfi, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Alfi NI Ltd. Collectively, these entities make up the consolidated financial statements during the periods presented in this Report. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. On June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company had $19,693,653 and $8,335 in cash and cash equivalents, respectively.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Generally, the Company’s cash balances, which are deposited in non-interest-bearing accounts may exceed FDIC insurance limits from time to time. The financial stability of these institutions is periodically reviewed by senior Management.

Complimentary Devices

The Company purchased approximately 9,600 Lenovo tablet hardware devices in 2020 (the “devices”), which are held for placement with rideshare and other businesses. In June of 2021, Alfi also order an additional 10,000 devices from Lenovo, which were received in July 2021. Alfi’s devices represent an incentive-based outreach program by which devices are provided complimentary to rideshare or other businesses that sign up for Alfi’s Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) product. As part of Alfi sales agreements with rideshare and other businesses, devices are provided as a complimentary product in exchange for monetization of the respective set of business consumer’s attention.

The Company records these devices at the lower of cost or fair market value. Devices are accounted for as Other assets (complimentary devices) on the consolidated balance sheet until they are provided to a rideshare or other businesses. Upon being placed into service for consumer use, the Company expenses Other Assets (complimentary devices) to Cost of Sales.

Property and Equipment

Property plant and equipment consists of office equipment recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which for office equipment is three to five years. The Company maintains a capitalization policy for individual items greater than $500 and an estimated useful life greater than one year.

Table of Contents

Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Property plant and equipment are tested for asset impairment on no less than a quarterly basis by Management.

Intangible Assets

The Company recognizes amortizable intangible assets associated with the costs to acquire or cost to complete its technology development projects. The Company places intangible assets into service upon the date in which they are available for use. Intangible assets are tested for asset impairment on no less than a quarterly basis by Management, of which none were identified during the periods included in this Report.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to Management. The respective carrying value (net book value) of certain on-balance- sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments include cash, accounts payable notes payable, fixed assets, and amortizable intangible assets. Fair values approximate carrying values for cash, accounts payable, notes payable, fixed assets, and amortizable intangible assets at June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Net Income (Loss) per Share of Common Stock

The Company computes basic net loss per share by dividing net income (loss) per share available to Common Stock holders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and excludes the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted earnings per share, if presented, would include the dilution that would occur upon the exercise or conversion of all potentially dilutive securities into Common Stock using the “treasury stock” and/or “if converted” methods as applicable. The computation of basic and diluted income (loss) per share for the periods ended June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, excludes potentially dilutive securities when their inclusion would be anti- dilutive, or if their exercise prices were greater than the average market price of Common Stock during the period.

Potentially dilutive securities excluded from the computation of basic net income (loss) per share as of June 30, 2021, and 2020 are as follows:

​

​

Convertible Instruments

U.S. GAAP requires companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free-standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur, and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. An exception to this rule is when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional.

The Company has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments and the Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments (the beneficial conversion feature) based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying Common Stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their stated date of redemption.

Table of Contents

During the periods ended June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company did not record or issue convertible notes with beneficial conversion features and did not record debt discounts related to beneficial conversion features. During 2020 and 2019, the Company issued Convertible Series Seed Preferred stock which has option for stockholders to convert into Common Stock on a 1:1.260023 basis and is classified as stockholders’ equity on the balance sheet at June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, respectively. If converted into Common Stock by Series Seed stockholders, its fair value would approximate the existing carrying (book) value of the Series Seed Preferred stock as stated. Thus, no embedded derivatives were identified on the conversion option of Convertible Series Seed Preferred stock at June 30, 2021, or December 31, 2020, respectively. In May 2021, Convertible Series Seed Preferred Stock converted 2,500,000 shares into 3,150,058 shares of Common Stock. Convertible Series Seed Preferred Stock is still authorized for issuance under Alfi's charter and there were no outstanding shares on June 30,2021.

Common Stock Purchase Warrants and Other Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company accounts for derivative instruments in accordance with ASC 815, which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other financial instruments or contracts and requires recognition of all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value, regardless of hedging relationship designation. Accounting for changes in fair value of the derivative instruments depends on whether the derivatives qualify as hedging relationships and the types of relationships designated are based on the exposures hedged. On June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company did not have any derivative instruments that were designated as hedges.

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). The amendments in Part I of this Update change the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features.

Stock based compensation

The Company maintains a stock equity incentive plan under which it may grant non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, performance and performance-based awards, or stock units to employees, non-employee directors and consultants.

Income Taxes

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of net operating loss and credit carryforwards and temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their respective financial reporting amounts measured at the current enacted tax rates. The Company records an estimated valuation allowance on its deferred income tax assets if it is more likely than not that these deferred income tax assets will be realized. The Company recognizes a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. As of June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company has not recorded any unrecognized tax benefits. The Company’s policy is to classify assessments, if any, for tax-related interest as interest expense and penalties as general and administrative expenses in the statements of operations. The Company did not recognize any such penalties or interest during the periods presented under this Report.

Change in Accounting Estimate / Prior Period Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation, including a change in the estimated useful life of capitalized platform production costs (see Note 10). Management originally determined ten years as a reasonable useful life estimate for these assets and revised it to five years based on external market competition and other technological factors.  The Company made the change as part of its standard review of its accounting policies in connection with the audit for the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company has considered the change in estimated useful life a change in accounting estimate under GAAP and has accounted for it prospectively in the consolidated financial statements. Based on current conditions, the Company believes its revised estimated useful life allocation reasonable for these assets.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There are various updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Forward Stock Split

On March 1, 2021, the Company effected a forward stock split on a ratio of 1.260023 to 1.000000 basis. Share amounts reflected in this Report are presented post-split, unless otherwise noted.

NOTE 3 FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company also follows a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

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

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 — quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable

Level 3 — inputs that are unobservable based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity (e.g., cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions).

​

The risk-free interest rate is the United States Treasury rate on the measurement date having a term equal to the remaining contractual life of the instrument. The volatility is a measure of the amount by which the comparable companies’ share price has fluctuated or is expected to fluctuate. Since the Common Stock has not been publicly traded, an average of the historical volatility of comparative companies was used.

Level 3 liabilities are valued using unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the derivative liabilities. For fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer determines valuation policies and procedures, as applicable.

Level 3 financial liabilities consist of the derivative liabilities for which there is no current market for these securities such that the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. Changes in fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are analyzed each period based on changes in estimates or assumptions and recorded as appropriate.

Significant observable and unobservable inputs include stock price, exercise price, annual risk-free rate, term, and expected volatility, and are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. An increase or decrease in volatility or interest free rate, in isolation, can significantly increase or decrease the fair value of the derivative liabilities. Changes in the values of the derivative liabilities are recorded as a component of other income (expense) on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

Non-financial assets that are measured on a non-recurring basis include our intellectual property and property and equipment which are measured using fair value techniques whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate a condition of impairment exists. The estimated fair value of prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their individual carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of these measurements.

The following tables present the derivative financial instruments, the Company’s only financial liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on the Company’s balance sheets on a recurring basis, and their level within the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020:

NOTE 7 STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

As of December 31, 2020, there was not a viable market for Common Stock to determine its fair value; therefore, management estimated the fair value to be utilized in the determining the fair value of issued conversion options. In estimating the fair value, management considered the estimated fair value of assets received in exchange for equity instruments and placement agents’ assessments of the underlying common shares relating to our issuance of our senior convertible preferred stock. Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate the fair value, accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from management’s estimates.

On June 30, 2021, the Company’s records reflect the May 2021 initial public offering on the Nasdaq Capital Market, creating liquidity and a visible fair market value for its stock, ticker symbol “ALF”.

In 2018, the Company created a class of Preferred Series Seed stock (“Preferred stock”). Par value for the Preferred stock is $0.0001 per share and 2,500,000 shares of Preferred stock were authorized. During 2018 and 2019, 2,500,000 shares of Preferred stock was issued to an investor in exchange for $2,500,000 cash consideration. Preferred stock shares convert to Common Stock at a ratio of 1:1.260023 at any time and from time to time in the sole discretion of the holder. Preferred stockholders have preferential liquidation rights in the event of the Company’s dissolution. Preferred stock shares bear no interest or dividend payments to its Holders. The Preferred stock has a buyout feature if not converted into Common Stock by investor. Preferred stock can be bought out by the Company if full return of principal is made to investor ($2,500,000), plus an additional 1x return of capital to investor ($2,500,000). In May 2021, 2,500,000 shares of preferred stock were converted into 3,150,058 shares of Common Stock at a conversion ratio of 1:1.260023. On June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, total preferred stock shares issued and outstanding were -0- and 2,500,000, respectively.  For the six months ended June 30, 2021, no preferred stock was issued by the company.

Dividends

Holders of Preferred stock are not entitled to any dividend payment but do have liquidation preference in the event of dissolution of the Company. Holders of Common Stock are not entitled to any dividend payments but would receive such payments in the event dividend payments were made to stockholders. There was no dividend payment made on any class of stock (common or preferred) for the six and twelve months ended June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Common Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 80,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001. In 2018, 3,150,000 shares of Common Stock were issued to the three management members who are Founders, at par.

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, the Company issued 31,500 shares of common stock to an unaffiliated third party in exchange for services associated with investment relations and fundraising, and to support the development of revenue producing contracts.

Employee Equity (Stock) Incentive Plan

The Company has an employee equity stock incentive plan in which, at its sole discretion, it may award employees of the Company Common Stock or Common Stock options, as an incentive for performance. See Note 6.

Stock Option and Warrant Valuation

Stock option and warrant valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions. The fair value of stock-based payment awards was estimated using the Black-Scholes option model with a volatility figure derived from an index of historical stock prices for comparable entities. For warrants and stock options issued to non- employees, the Company accounts for the expected life based on the contractual life of the warrants and stock options. For employees, the Company accounts for the expected life of options in accordance with the “simplified” method, which is used for “plain-vanilla” options, as defined in the accounting standards codification. The risk-free interest rate was determined from the implied yields of U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with a remaining life consistent with the expected term of the options.

Forward stock split

In March 2021, a 1.260023 to 1 forward stock split was affected. Common stock share numbers contained herein in this Report are presented on a post-split basis unless specifically noted otherwise.

NOTE 9 INTANGIBLE ASSETS – INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Intellectual Property – Patent and Production Costs

The Company’s intellectual property includes patent and platform production costs associated with creation of its technology (see Note 1). Included in capitalized patent costs are the legal and logistics expenses directly associated with patent development, acquisition, and filing. Included in capitalized platform production costs are the direct labor, design, testing, acquisition, and allocation for administrative overhead associated with software development. Upon being placed into service in July 2020 for beta testing, capitalized patent and platform production costs and their anticipated useful lives are summarized as follows:

​

​

The Company assigned a 15-year estimated useful life for patent acquisition costs, and a 5-year estimated useful life for technology platform production costs. The Company has been awarded a patent and has patents pending with the United States Patent Trademark Office (USPTO). Patents have a legal lifespan of 20 years. Between 2018 and 2020, the Company incurred production costs associated with its technology platform.

Management’s determination of useful life estimate for patent acquisition costs is reasonable given the statutory periods for patents of 20 years. Management selected a 5-year useful life for production costs as a conservative expectation of the length of time the Company expects its technology product set to produce future cash flows considering that there are no software or version upgrades. However, with new upgrades to the Alfi platform we believe that the useful life will be extended out further. (See Note 2, Change in Accounting Estimate / Prior Period Reclassifications).

Overview

Alfi is a Delaware corporation, incorporated in July 2018, to solve some of the most significant problems facing the global digital advertising industry.

We provide solutions that bring transparency and accountability to the digital out of home, or “DOOH,” advertising marketplace. Alfi uses artificial intelligence and big data analytics to measure and predict human response. Our computer vision technology is powered by proprietary artificial intelligence, to determine the age, gender, ethnicity, geolocation, and emotion of someone in front of an Alfi-enabled device, such as a tablet or kiosk. Alfi can then deliver in real-time, advertisements to that particular viewer based on the viewer’s demographic and psychographic profile. Alfi delivers the right content, to the right person at the right time in a responsible and ethical manner. By delivering advertisements a viewer wants, we deliver our advertising customers the viewers they want, and the result is higher click through rates, or CTRs and higher CPM, cost per thousand, rates.

19

Table of Contents

Alfi has created an enterprise grade, multimedia computer vision and machine learning platform, generating powerful advertising recommendations and insights. Multiple technologies work together in Alfi with viewer privacy and reporting objectives as our two goals. Alfi uses a facial fingerprinting process to make demographic determinations. As such, Alfi makes no attempt to identify the individual in front of the screen. Brand owners don’t need to know your name and invade your privacy to gain a deeper understanding of the consumers who view their content. By providing age, gender, ethnicity and geolocation information, brand owners have all of the data they need for meaningful interaction. The artificial intelligence and machine learning components of Alfi also gather retina tracking data, keyword recognition and voice intonation without compromising the privacy of the end-user. From an analytics perspective, these data points give meaningful reporting instead of arbitrary calculations of ad engagement.

Alfi solves the problem of providing real time, accurate and rich reporting on customer demographics, usage, interactivity and engagement while never storing any personal identifiable information. No viewer is ever required, or requested by us, to enter any information about themselves on any Alfi-enabled device. Alfi was designed to be fully compliant with all privacy regulations. Alfi is fully compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation, in Europe, California Consumer Privacy Act, and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act.

Our focus continues to place our Alfi-enabled devices in rideshares and airports. According to Harvard Business School study published in February 2018, Americans are estimated to have spent more than 37 billion hours waiting in rideshares. Alfi has been beta testing Alfi-enabled devices in these locations to determine market receptivity to smart screens. From our testing, Alfi has been able to achieve CTRs, of between 6% and 9%, but believes it could achieve CTRs exceeding 15% as Alfi- enabled devices are deployed more widely. By comparison, according to Acquiso in 2018, the average CTR for a display banner ad was less than 1%.

We began generating revenue from our Alfi-enabled devices (kiosks) in the first quarter of 2021 and are in the process of rolling out our rideshare tablets. Based on current customer requests, we now charge customers in one of the following ways: CPM, ads placed, or share-of-voice.  As we continue to expand Alfi in the market, we expect to charge customers based on a combination of CPM, share-of-voice, and CTR, and that we will generate higher CPM rates than typical DOOH advertising platforms because we will only deliver ads to the customer’s desired demographic. In addition, we will provide the aggregated data to the brands, on a subscription basis, so they can make more informed advertising decisions.

Alfi generates revenues in three different fashions. First, Alfi sells advertising and content on its Alfi-enabled tablets and other devices such as kiosks. Second, Alfi licenses its technology to other companies as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) product. Third, Alfi sells the aggregated data reflecting viewer engagement it derives from users of an Alfi-enabled device to advertisers and content providers. Alfi has different customers for each of its revenue streams: (1) companies that buy content space, like CNN, NBC, etc., or companies that buy ad space like Coke, Ford, etc.; (2) companies that pay a per screen fee on a SaaS basis to operate Alfi software on their network, where they sell ads and content and on their own devices; and (3) companies that purchase viewer engagement data on a subscription basis.

With respect to Alfi-enabled tablets placed in rideshares or devices placed into service by Alfi, Alfi will recognize revenue on a cost per thousand impression (CPM) basis or a related basis based on a customer’s request – ad placed, CPM or share-of-voice, for both the content and advertisements. Alfi has contracts (insertion orders) for both the advertiser and the content provider that specify the amounts to be paid to Alfi for displaying the advertisement or content. The number of impressions, share-of-voice or ad placed by the advertiser or content provider is willing to pay and the duration of each campaign is set by the advertiser or content provider on the insertion order. Content and advertisements are provided to Alfi by companies desiring to deliver content for viewer engagement. Additionally, Alif is in the process of engaging programmatic ad providers to operate in its tablets and kiosks. In general, Alfi does not pay for content, to the extent it does, the cost of acquiring content is expensed as cost of sales. Alfi recognizes revenue under these contracts upon the validated delivery of impressions, share-of-voice purchased, or ads placed / viewed on the Alfi-enabled devices.

With respect to SaaS licenses, Alfi has enter into two signed license agreements with third parties; both agreements use Alfi placed devices on customer’s property and share in advertising revenues.   The customer and Alfi work together for advertising revenue generation and the devices have remote management access and data reporting that the Alfi platform provides. Alfi expects that revenue from these two contracts will begin in the fourth quarter of 2021. Alfi will recognize the revenue from these contracts monthly, in accordance with Topic 606.

20

Table of Contents

Alfi believes that the aggregated data of viewer engagement has significant value for advertisers and content providers. Alfi plans to offer such data to third parties on a subscription basis and recognize revenue as the subscription payments are received depending on the nature of the contract, beginning in the first quarter of 2022. For subscriptions that are prepaid, revenue will be recognized as earned; with respect to subscriptions that are not prepaid, revenue will be recognized when the data is delivered to the subscriber.

As of June 30, 2021 Alfi has distributed and is in the process of activating 1,500 devices tablets and kiosks at no cost to rideshare, mall, or airport owner(s). Alfi has 8,100 devices on hand and placed an order for an additional 10,000 devices bringing the total devices used in rideshares to 19,600.  It is the viewers of the Alfi-enabled device, rather than the rideshare driver, mall or airport owner that the Alfi-enabled device engages with and to whom Alfi delivers advertising and content. It is projected that Alfi will begin selling advertising and content for those tablets placed into operation in the third quarter of 2021.

Alfi has not yet recognized revenue from any of its three potential revenue sources. Irrespective of revenue generation on devices, when they are physically placed into service, devices are expensed in accordance with the Company’s Cost of Sales policy.

For the three months ended June 30,2021, other expense increased to ($47,309) from ($17,913) an increase of ($29,396) for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase is primarily due to interest expense associated with related party financing.

Net Loss

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, the net loss increased to ($4,692,471) from ($23,772), an increase of ($4,668,699) vs. the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase is primarily due to stock-based compensation (a non-cash expense) and general increases in all other expense categories as Alfi expanded its staff, prepared for its IPO, and launched its technology platform.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

From the inception of Alfi in 2018 until our IPO, Alfi’s liquidity was provided by equity and related party debt financing. Post IPO, all outstanding debt, including the Senior Related Party Note and all Bridge Loan Agreements, totaling $5,808,808 were paid off utilizing a portion of the IPO proceeds. The IPO proceeds and proceeds from the exercise of  warrants through June 30, 2021 totaled approximately $24.9 million. The Company is using these funds to acquire staff, tablet, and kiosk devises, make marketing investments, effect a stock buyback and fund general operating costs.

Alfi’s operating needs include the planned costs to operate our business, including amounts required to fund working capital and capital expenditures. Our future capital requirements and adequacy of available funds will depend on many factors, including our ability to successfully commercialize our products and services, competing technological and market developments, enter collaborations with other companies, or acquire other companies or technologies to enhance and/or complement our product and service offerings. We believe that our current cash balances and our anticipated cash flows from operations will be sufficient to fund the Company for the next twelve months.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have, during the period presented, and we do not currently have, any relationships with any organizations or financial partnerships, such as structured finance or special purpose entities, that would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Accounting Estimates

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported expenses during the reporting periods.

The accounting estimates that require our most significant, difficult, and subjective judgments have an impact on revenue recognition, financial instruments and the determination of share-based compensation and the useful lives of long-lived assets. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We believe that the assumptions and estimates associated with the evaluation of revenue recognition criteria, including the determination of revenue recognition as net versus gross in our revenue arrangements, useful lives of long-lived assets and stock-based compensation expense have the greatest potential impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Therefore, we consider these to be our critical accounting policies and estimates. By their nature, estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in our condensed consolidated financial statements (Note 3) included elsewhere in this quarterly report.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

As a smaller reporting company, as defined Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to provide the information required by this item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Management, specifically our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2021 (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon that evaluation, the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (i) are recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) are accumulated and communicated to management, specifically our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
