NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

AppTech Corp. (“AppTech” or the “Company”) is a Wyoming Corporation incorporated on July 2, 1998.

AppTech Corp. is a FinTech company providing electronic payment processing technologies and merchant services. These technologies allow businesses to accept cashless and/or contactless payments, such as credit cards, ACH, wireless payments, and more. Their patented, exclusively licensed and/or proprietary merchant services software offers or will offer integrated solutions for frictionless digital and mobile payment acceptance; AppTech is supplementing 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.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Also see Note 3.

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. 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 $250,000 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 six financial institutions to service their merchants for which represented 100% of accounts receivable as of March 31, 2021 and 2020. 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 three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the one merchant (customer) represented approximately 36% and 43% of the total revenues, respectively. The loss of this customer would have significant impact on the Company’s operations.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company classifies its highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase as cash equivalents. Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments at the time of purchase and reevaluates the designations of each investment as of the balance sheet date for each reporting period. The Company classifies its investments as either short-term or long-term based on each instrument’s underlying contractual maturity date. Investments with maturities of less than 12 months are classified as short-term and those with maturities greater than 12 months are classified as long-term. The cost of investments sold is based upon the specific identification method.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable is recorded net of an allowance for doubtful accounts, if needed. The Company considers any changes to the financial condition of its financial institutions used and any other external market factors that could impact the collectability of its receivables in the determination of its allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company does not expect to have write-offs or adjustments to accounts receivable which could have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows as the portion which is deemed uncollectible is already taken into account when the revenue is recognized.

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 three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) to measure and disclosure 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:

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 mature of these financial instruments.

Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s-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 March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 on recurring basis:

See Note 7 for discussion of valuation and roll forward related to derivative liabilities.

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 three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 were zero and $12,000, respectively.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Expenditures for major additions and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Depreciation of property and equipment is computed by the straight-line method (after taking into account their respective estimated residual values) over the assets estimated useful life of five (5) years. Upon sale or retirement of equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in the statements of operations.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset or asset group to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or asset group. If the carrying amount of an asset or asset group exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset or asset group exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset or asset group. Long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale are reported at the lower of their carrying amounts or their estimated fair values less costs to sell and are not depreciated. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were no asset impairments.

Lease Commitment

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. This determination generally depends on whether the arrangement conveys to the Company the right to control the use of an explicitly or implicitly identified fixed asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control of an underlying asset is conveyed to the Company if the Company obtains the rights to direct the use of and to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from using the underlying asset. The Company has lease agreements which include lease and non-lease components, which the Company has elected to account for as a single lease component for all classes of underlying assets. Lease expense for variable lease components are recognized when the obligation is probable.

Operating lease right of use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Operating lease payments are recognized as lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company primarily leases buildings (real estate) which are classified as operating leases. ASC 842 requires a lessee to discount its unpaid lease payments using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, its incremental borrowing rate. As an implicit interest rate is not readily determinable in the Company’s leases, the incremental borrowing rate is used based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

The lease term for all of the Company’s leases includes the non-cancellable period of the lease plus any additional periods covered by either a Company option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, or an option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease controlled by the lessor. Options for lease renewals have been excluded from the lease term (and lease liability) for the majority of the Company’s leases as the reasonably certain threshold is not met.

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are comprised of fixed payments, variable payments that depend on index or rate, and amounts probable to be payable under the exercise of the Company option to purchase the underlying asset if reasonably certain.

Variable lease payments not dependent on a rate or index associated with the Company’s leases are recognized when the event, activity, or circumstance in the lease agreement on which those payments are assessed as probable. Variable lease payments are presented as operating expenses in the Company’s statement of operations in the same line as expense arising from fixed lease payments. As of March 31, 2021, management determined that there were no variable lease costs.

Income Taxes

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the fiscal year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the fiscal years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the statement of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company’s income tax returns are based on calculations and assumptions that are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities. In addition, the calculation of the Company’s tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations. The Company recognizes liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on a two-step process. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. While the Company believes it has appropriate support for the positions taken on its tax returns, the Company regularly assesses the potential outcomes of examinations by tax authorities in determining the adequacy of its provision for income taxes. The Company continually assesses the likelihood and amount of potential adjustments and adjusts the income tax provision, income taxes payable and deferred taxes in the period in which the facts that give rise to a revision become known. As of March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company does not believe any provisions are required in connection with uncertain tax positions as there are none.

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 16,465,032 and 5,202,618 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The weighted average number of common stock equivalents is not included in diluted income (loss) per share, because the effects are anti-dilutive.

Convertible Debt

Convertible debt is accounted for under the guidelines established by ASC 470-20 Conversion and Other Options. ASC 470-20 governs the calculation of an embedded beneficial conversion, which is treated as an additional discount to the instruments where derivative accounting does not apply. The amount of the value of additional stock and other consideration in addition to the beneficial conversion feature may reduce the carrying value of the instrument to zero, but no further. The discounts are accreted over the term of the debt using the straight-line method due to the short terms of the notes.

The Company accounts for modifications of its embedded beneficial conversions, in accordance with ASC 470-50 Modifications and Extinguishments. ASC 470-50 requires the modification of a convertible debt instrument that changes the fair value of an embedded conversion feature and the subsequent recognition of interest expense or the associated debt instrument when the modification does not result in a debt extinguishment.

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.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company recognizes as compensation expense all share-based payment awards made to employees, directors, and consultants including grants of stock, stock options and warrants, based on estimated fair values. Fair value is generally determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and is recognized over the service period. The Company has several consulting agreements that have share based payment awards based on performance. These agreements typically require the Company to issue common stock to the consultants on a monthly basis. The Company records the fair market value of the common stock issuable at each month end when the performance is complete based upon the closing market price of the Company’s common stock.

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 three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company incurred a net loss of $66,293,498 and $1,464,050 and used cash of $385,458 and $190,888 in operating activities. In addition, the Company had a working capital deficit of $6,863,913 and an accumulated deficit of $111,241,228 as of March 31, 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 $1,972,750 from seven 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 March 31, 2021, the Company has received an additional $145,500 through May 13, 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 return to normal after several months as the economy began to open up using different methods of purchasing especially online purchasing. 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.

NOTE 4 – PATENTS

Patents

On June 22, 2017, AppTech executed an Amendment to Asset Purchase Agreement with GlobalTel Media, Inc. In connection with the asset purchase agreement, 5,000,000 shares of common stock were issued to GlobalTel Media, Inc. The Company valued the common stock issuance at $1,000,000 based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date in which the performance was complete. This amendment revived the original asset purchase agreement dated December 4, 2013 to purchase the assets of GlobalTel Media, Inc. (AppTech and GlobalTel agree that the asset purchase agreement dated September 30, 2015 is null and void), which include, but is not limited to, all intellectual property, United States Patent Trademark Office (“USPTO”) issued patents, enterprise-grade, patent protected software and intellectual property for advanced messaging incorporating secure payments, databases, documentation, copyrights, trademarks, registrations, and all current development work in process of USPTO application approval; more specifically but not limited to USPTO 8,073,895 & 8,572,166 “System and Method for Delivering Web Content to a Mobile Device”, USPTO 8,315,184 “Computer to Mobile Two-Way Chat System and Method”, and USPTO 8,369,828 “Mobile-to-Mobile Payment System and Method”. GlobalTel’s technology focuses on SMS text-based applications, social media and mobile payment. The USPTO assigned the patents to AppTech on July 25, 2017. AppTech, as part of the various agreements, agreed to pay $1,600,000 which included an assumption of certain liabilities, including costs incurred to continue development of the patents, as well as guaranteed payment of 25% of the net proceeds on revenue created by the patents up to $26,600,000. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, amounts included in accounts payable related to the assumption of liabilities in connection with the patents were $280,000 and $280,000, respectively. The Company has expensed the cost of the patents as research and development costs as the future estimated cash flow expected cannot be reasonably estimated at the time of the expense.

See Note 9 for more information on capitalized prepaid software development and license.

NOTE 5 – ACCRUED LIABILITIES

Accrued liabilities as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 consist of the following:

Accrued Interest

Notes payable and convertible notes payable incur interest at rates between 10% and 15%, per annum. The accrued interest in most cases is currently in technical default due to the notes being past their maturity date.

Accrued Residuals

The Company pays commissions to independent agents which refer merchant accounts. The amounts payable to these independent agents is based upon a percentage of the amounts processed on a monthly basis by these merchant accounts.

Accrued Merchant Equity Liability

The Company provided all merchants the opportunity to earn shares of the Company’s common stock through their Merchant Equity Program (the “Program”). Under the Program, the merchant earned 1% of their total Visa/MasterCard volume processed during the first year of their contract. For example, if a merchant processes $1.0 million in credit card charges, the merchant will receive 10,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The merchant must process with the Company for a period of three years for the shares to vest. All merchants became fully vested when the Company ended the program effective December 31, 2015.

The Company accounts for the value of the shares under the program as a sales incentive and thus the amounts in connection with the Program are recorded as a reduction to revenues. As of March 31, 2021, the Company has an obligation to issue approximately 776,000 shares of the Company’s common stock issuable under the Program.

NOTE 6 – NOTES PAYABLE AND CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

The Company funds operations through cash flows generated from operations and the issuance of loans and notes payable. The following is a summary of loans and notes payable outstanding as of March 31, 2021 and 2020. Related parties noted below are either members of management, board of directors, significant shareholders or individuals in which have significant influence over the Company.

Loans Payable – Related Parties

During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company obtained (paid) $(32,500) and $39,319 loans payable from related parties, net. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the balance of the loans payable was $1,900 and $34,400, respectively. The loans payable are due on demand, unsecured and non-interest bearing as there are no formal agreements executed.

Subordinated Notes Payable

In 2016, the Company issued $350,000 in subordinated notes payable to third parties. The subordinated notes payable were due in 30 to 180 days and incurred interest at 10% per annum. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, accrued interest related to the subordinated notes was $162,295 and $153,545, respectively. The Company is currently in default of the subordinated note agreements.

Convertible Notes Payable

In 2020, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an investor pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to the investor a $300,000 convertible note bearing interest at 12% per annum (the “Note”). The Note matures in 365 days from the date of issuance. The Note is convertible at the option of the holder at any time into shares of the Company’s common stock at one dollar ($1.00) for the one hundred and eighty (180) days immediately following the issue date and thereafter shall equal the lower of: 1) the lowest closing price of the common stock during the preceding twenty five (25) trading day, ending on the last complete trading day prior to the issue date of the Note. 2) seventy-five (75) percent of the lowest trading price for the common stock during the twenty-five (25) consecutive trading days preceding the conversion date with a minimum trading volume of one thousand (1,000) shares.

In the event of a default of the Note, the Holder in its sole discretion may elect to use a conversion price equal to the lower of: 1) the lowest trading price of the common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the issue date or 2) seventy-five (75) percent of either the lowest trading price or the closing bid price, whichever is lower during any trading day in which the event of default has not been cured.

The embedded conversion feature of this Note was deemed to require bifurcation and liability classification, at fair value. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company also sold warrants to the investors to purchase up to an aggregate of 200,000 shares of common stock exercisable at one dollar and fifty cents ($1.50) and expire in five (5) years. The fair value of the derivative liability and warrants as of the date of issuance was in excess of the Note (see Note 7 for valuation) resulting in full discount of the Note. The conversion feature and warrants have various reset provisions for which lower the exercise price and share and warrants issuable.

Total interest expense on convertible notes payable, inclusive of amortization of debt discount of $39,919, amounted to $48,919 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the convertible note payable discount is $240,225 and $280,174 and will be amortized over the life of the convertible note payable in 2021. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2021, the derivative liability is as follows:

In 2017, the Company received $222,000 in convertible notes payable from related parties. The convertible notes payable are unsecured, were due in 180 days, incur interest at 10% per annum and are convertible at $0.10 per share.

Former Shareholders Lawsuits

In April 2014, a shareholder of AppTech filed a lawsuit against the Company in the State of Washington claiming breach of contract related to the sale / transfer of unregistered shares at the time of AppTech acquisition. On August 13, 2014, the Company notified the transfer agent and placed a ’Stop Order’ on the shares. The shareholder claims that the 2.5 million shares received are unrestricted and should be reflected as such. On August 19, 2014, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit. The lawsuit was dismissed on October 31, 2014.

In November 2017, two shareholders of AppTech, one who previously filed the 2014 lawsuit in the State of Washington, filed another lawsuit against the Company in the State of California, claiming the same accusations as the previously filed lawsuit which was dismissed. The lawsuit has been transferred to the United States District Court for the Southern District of California. The Company filed the defendants answer, affirmative defenses and counter claims. Management believes that the Plaintiff misrepresented and misled AppTech during the merger. The court has encouraged the parties to settle. Even though the Company believes the lawsuit is without merit and will vigorously defend, the Company has made several offers to settle. On December 19, 2019, the Company entered into a settlement and release agreement.

On December 3, 2019, the Company entered into a conditional settlement providing the terms of the conditional settlement have been completed by October 1, 2020.

Significant Contracts

Silver Alert Services, LLC

In August 2020, the Company entered into a strategic partnership with Silver Alert Services, LLC. doing business as Lifelight Systems (“Lifelight”), expanding into the telehealth sphere. The partnership will expand AppTech’s reach into new markets and provide advanced technological solutions for the telehealth and personal emergency response systems markets. The strategic partnership provides a promissory note to Lifelight for up to $1.0 million dollars with an interest rate of three percent per annum upon successful completion of Lifelight’s Personal Emergency Response System (“PERS”) pilot program. Also, Lifelight is granted an option for the right to purchase 4,500,000 shares of AppTech Corp. for which 1 million are exercisable at $0.01 and 3,500,000 are exercisable at $0.25 for which vest upon the successful completion of the PERS pilot program and are exercisable for 24 months. These options had a grant date fair value of at $1,549,999 and $5,424,987, respectively using a Black-Scholes options pricing model. No stock-based compensation was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2021 as vesting was determined to be highly improbable.

On December 30, 2020, the Company amended its strategic partnership agreement and purchase option agreement with Silver Alert dated August 21, 2020. The amendment altered and/or added certain definitions and the loan disbursements in the strategic partnership agreement. Further, the purchase option agreement was amended to incorporate a vesting schedule related to the gross revenue generated from the partnership. The options will vest based on reaching various gross revenue benchmarks for which expire two years after each tranche vests.

On March 29, 2021, the Company amended its strategic partnership agreement and purchase option agreement dated December 30, 2020. The amendment altered the agreement reducing the options to purchase to one million shares at a price of $0.01 and two million five thousand shares of stock at $0.25. These options had a grant date fair value of $2,329,999 and $5,824,980, respectively using a Black-Scholes options pricing model. No stock-based compensation was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2021 as vesting was determined to be highly improbable.

The Company’s ability to deliver on the $1,000,000 loan and fulfill its 50% obligation in 2020 was greatly impacted by the ongoing Covid 19 pandemic. Nursing homes and other senior living facilities were in lock down which did not allow the Silver Alert team into facilities for set-up and equipment training. As of May 13, 2021, the team still does not have access to these facilities and thus revenue could not be generated. AppTech made the strategic decision to fund other investments while committing to provide the $1,000,000 loan to Silver Alert during the second quarter of 2021, as state restrictions continue to be loosened. Both parties agreed the delay was in the best interest of the long-term growth of the partnership. The Company will assess the probability of vesting at the end of each reporting period.

On April 27, 2021, the Company entered an amended and restated strategic partnership agreement and purchase option agreement with Silver Alert Services, LLC which amends and restates earlier agreements dated August 21, 2020, as amended on December 30, 2020 and March 29, 2021. The amended and restated agreements provide for an equity transaction whereby the Company receives a 70% (seventy percent) ownership in Silver Alert, LLC upon certain revenue goals being achieved. Further, upon the occurrence of the revenue goals, the revenue sharing between the companies shall be altered resulting in the Company retaining 70% (seventy percent).

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

We intend to simplify and streamline digital financial services for corporations, small and midsized enterprises (“SMEs”) and consumers through innovative payment processing, reconciliation and digital banking technologies that complement our core merchant services capabilities. Our company’s merchant services provide financial processing for businesses to accept cashless and/or contact less payments, such as credit cards, ACH, wireless payments, and more. Our patented, exclusively licensed, and proprietary merchant services software offers, or will offer, integrated solutions for friction less digital and mobile payment acceptance including acceptance of alternative payment methods (“APMs”). We are supplementing 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 payment solutions that will drive the digital transformation of financial services and generate diverse revenue streams for our company.

We believe 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 otherwise, and the rapid rise of contactless transactions. End-users are beginning to expect ease of use and an enhanced user experience in all of their daily financial transactions. In this rapidly evolving digital marketplace, merchants have broad and frequently changing requirements for payment processing to meet consumer expectations and operational requirements.

Merchants and independent software vendors (“ISVs”) that require integrated financial technology solutions to best serve their customers are looking beyond basic payment acceptance and “lowest price” models. These entities recognize that staying competitive in the digital age requires a partner that provides a platform capable of delivering flexibility and growth while streamline operations to continue increase revenue and profitability. While we offer extremely competitive pricing, we believe the value we create for merchants, SMEs, ISVs and regional banking institutions through our technology, services and consultative approach will create true differentiation from our competitors.

Our flexible and configurable financial services platform will enable us to provide solutions that meet each merchant’s current needs while providing scope to solve for their future development plans and opportunities allowing merchants to take advantage of future platform development and new innovative digital financial solutions through clean APIs and our scalable global infrastructure. By taking a holistic view of all aspects of our clients’ business, including risk, volume, user experience, integration capabilities and technical needs, we are able to create optimal and extensible financial technology solutions.

Through exclusive licensing and partnership agreements, 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 will augment this position through the integration of our merchant services and secure text payment solution with extensive digital account-based and multi-channel issuer payment processing capabilities. This will enable us to provide our merchant customers an end-to-end payment acceptance and digital banking solution and will power straight-through processing and embedded payments opportunities in the B2B space.

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, internet connectivity or a specific application are not required to process payments between merchants and end-users. These features will be particularly beneficial for the unbanked and under banked individuals in developing and emerging markets where access to the internet on a mobile device and modern banking institutions may not be readily available.

Our software platform will extend merchants’ marketplace capabilities creating new avenues and channels to request and receive frictionless, digital payments and engage end-users 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 a sector that appears to have little alternative but to adapt and migrate towards new technologies that facilitate convenient and safe contactless payments. To survive and succeed in this environment, businesses may need to adopt new technologies to engage, communicate and process payments with their customers. We believe that, by embracing technological advancement in the payment and banking industries, we are aligned in the precise direction that our current and prospective customer base is trending towards. We intend for our current and future products to be at the forefront in providing solutions that enable and facilitate these anticipated changes.

We are also expanding upon our 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-related services to aid companies providing telehealth solutions. Through a strategic partnership, we plan to help bring to market personal emergency response and remote patient monitoring services and equipment to help ensure the safety of the elderly and injured or sick patients while providing peace of mind to family members, care givers and retirement communities. These solutions increase patients’ access to comprehensive care options and allow medical teams to intervene in a timely manner to avoid more serious health concerns. By providing financial and administrative services we will have the opportunity to receive substantial revenue share from recurring revenue billed through Medicare with the potential for substantial growth and substantial profit margins.

We are an OTC Pink Open Market traded corporation headquartered in Carlsbad, CA. Our stock trades under the symbol “APCX.” We were founded in 1998 as Health Express USA, Inc. Our business went through name changes in 2005 (CSI Business, Inc.), 2006 (Natural Nutrition Inc.) and 2009 (AppTech Corp.) In 2013, we merged with Transcendent One, Inc., whereby Transcendent One, Inc. and its management took controlling ownership of the Company. From this point forward, we have operated as a merchant services provider, continuing the business conducted by Transcendent One, Inc. In 2017, we acquired certain assets from GlobalTel Media, Inc., or GTM, which included patented, enterprise-grade software for advanced text messaging. In addition to the software and associated databases, the acquisition included four patents and additional intellectual property for mobile payments.

Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic

The unprecedented and adverse effects of COVID-19, and its unpredictable duration, in the regions where we have merchants, employees and consumers has an adverse effect on our processing volume and may in the future have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and financial condition.

Financial Operations Overview

The following discussion sets forth certain components of our statements of operations as well as factors that impact those items.

Revenues

Our Revenues. We derive our revenue by providing financial processing services to businesses.

Expenses

Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue includes costs directly attributable to processing and other services the company provides. These also include related costs such as residual payments to our business development partners, which are based on a percentage of the net revenue generated from client referrals.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses include professional services, rent and utilities, and other operating costs.

Research and Development. Research and development 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 outside services.

Interest Expense, net. Our interest expense consists of interest on our outstanding indebtedness and amortization of debt issuance costs.

Results of Operations

This section includes a summary of our historical results of operations, followed by detailed comparisons of our results for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. We have derived this data from our financial statements included elsewhere in this registration statement.

The Three Months Ended March 31, 2021

Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2020

The following table presents our historical results of operations for the periods indicated:

Revenue

Revenue increased to $100,663 from $58,157, or 73%, for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from the three months ended March 31, 2020. This increase was principally driven by an increase in processing volume and a decrease in processing fees assessed to the Company.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue increased to $34,399 from $23,225, or 48%, for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from the three months ended March 31, 2020. This increase was driven primarily by increased residual payouts from increased revenue.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased to $1,780,360 from $1,415,899, or 26%, for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from the three months ended March 31, 2020, the increase was primarily driven by a purchase of a judgment and an increase in professional related services.

Excess Fair Value of Equity Issuance Over Assets Received

Excess fair value of equity issuance over assets received expenses increased to $63,943,174 from $0, for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to two major equity issuances for services.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses decreased to $0 from $12,000, for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from the three months ended March 31, 2020. This decrease was primarily due to various insignificant factors.

Interest Expense, net

Interest expense, net increased to $128,823 from $71,083, or 81%, for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to a new convertible note agreement.

Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liability

Change in fair value of derivative liability increased to $507,542 from $0, for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to a new convertible note agreement.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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 the extent that additional funds are necessary to finance operations and meet our long-term liquidity needs as we continue to execute our strategy, we anticipate that they can be obtained through additional indebtedness, equity or debt issuances or both. Using currently available capital resources, management believes we can conduct planned operations for 90 days. Further, management believes we need to raise $3,000,000 to remain in business for the next 12 months.

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 coronavirus pandemic could continue to 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.

Cash Flows

The following table presents a summary of cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the following comparative periods.

Cash Flow from Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities increased by $194,570 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from the three months ended March 31, 2020. This increase was principally driven by an increase in residual payouts and professional fees and services.

Cash Flow from Investing Activities

Net cash used by investing activities increased by $982,911 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from the three months ended March 31, 2020. This increase was principally driven by a significant investment in a capitalized asset.

Cash Flow from Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $1,746,769 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from the three months ended March 31, 2020. This increase was principally driven by the increase in proceeds from the sale of repurchase options.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates including those related to revenue recognition, goodwill and intangible assets, derivative financial instruments, and equity-based compensation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Critical accounting policies are those that we consider the most critical to understanding our financial condition and results of operations. The accounting policies we believe to be most critical to understanding our financial condition and results of operations are discussed below. As of September 30, 2020, there have been no significant changes to our critical accounting estimates, except as described in Note 2 to our financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

As of March 31, 2021, there have been no significant changes to our recently issued accounting pronouncements, except as described in Note 2 to our financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, that would have been established to facilitate off-balance sheet arrangements (as that term is defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K) or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As such, we are not exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in those types of relationships. We enter into guarantees in the ordinary course of business related to the guarantee of our own performance.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Not applicable for smaller reporting companies.

Item 4. Control and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2020.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Control systems, no matter how well conceived and operated, are designed to provide a reasonable, but not an absolute, 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 instances of 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.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

In November 2017, two shareholders of AppTech, filed a lawsuit against us in the State of California, claiming conversion, aiding and abetting conversion, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract, breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing and declaratory relief. The lawsuit was transferred to the United States District Court for the Southern District of California. We filed an answer, affirmative defenses and counter claims. Management believes that the Plaintiff misrepresented and mislead us during our merger with Transcendent One, Inc. The court encouraged the parties to settle. Even though the Company believes the lawsuit was without merit, the Company has made several offers to settle. On December 19, 2019, the Company entered into a settlement and release agreement. The Company has recorded the liability as of December 31, 2019 for the total obligation of $240,000 to be paid out over three years, which began on February 15, 2020. On January 24, 2021, the parties entered a stipulation modifying the repayment schedule of the settlement to which altered the timing of payments over the three year repayment period. We are current on the modified repayment schedule.

In July of 2020, an owner and corporation having a business opportunity filed a lawsuit in the State of California alleging a breach of contract, intentional misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement of contract, negligent misrepresentation and unjust enrichment relating to a non-binding memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) between the parties and its associated circumstances in 2016 and other alleged representations associated with the proposed partnership between the parties. Process was served on January 8, 2021. The Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on March 15, 2021. AppTech filed an answer with affirmative defenses on April 26, 2021. Management believes the agreement was non-binding, the statute of limitation has expired and the allegations have no merit. We currently own a judgment against the owner and corporation in the amount of $516,932 plus statutory interest.
