ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

General Development

Rego Payment Architectures, Inc. (the “Company,” “we”, or “us”) was incorporated in Delaware on February 11, 2008 under the name Chimera International Group, Inc. On April 4, 2008, we amended our certificate of incorporation and changed our name to Moggle, Inc. On August 22, 2011, we filed a Certificate of Ownership with the Secretary of State of Delaware, pursuant to which the Company’s newly-formed wholly-owned subsidiary, Virtual Piggy Incorporated was merged into and with the Company (the “Merger”). In connection with the Merger and in accordance with Section 253 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the name of the Company was changed from “Moggle, Inc.” to “Virtual Piggy, Inc.” On February 28, 2017, we amended our certificate of incorporation and changed our name to Rego Payment Architectures, Inc. Our principal offices are located at 265 Sunrise Boulevard, Palm Beach, Florida 33480 and our telephone number is (561) 220-0408.

On December 3, 2015, the Company incorporated a newly-formed wholly-owned Subsidiary, Finity, Inc. On December 11, 2015, the Company filed a Statement of Correction with the Pennsylvania Department of State, to change the name of Finity, Inc. to Finitii, Inc. The purpose of Finitii, Inc. is to teach children financial responsibility as a not for profit organization. On November 29, 2016, Finitii, Inc. was dissolved, without having any operations since inception.

As of the date of this report, we have not generated significant revenues. Our initial business plan was to develop an online game platform to allow game companies to create, monetize and distribute massive multiplayer online games (MMOG). The Company technology was the monetization component of this overall platform (our “Platform”). During 2010, we analyzed the market potential for an expanded Company solution and decided to concentrate our efforts on the delivery of a full-featured Company solution that was not restricted to online gaming. The expanded Company solution is designed to provide a complete online solution for families and parents to teach their children about financial management and spending on gaming, retail, music and entertainment. In late 2013, we rebranded our Company product under the name “Oink®”.

Table of Contents

In the second half of 2015, the Company changed its management team. The new team is focused on building and improving the existing platform that will act as the foundation for the strategic alignment with the Financial Technology (“FinTech”) industry. The FinTech industry is composed primarily of startup companies that use software to provide financial services more efficiently and less costly than traditional financial service companies. In April 2016, our former Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) resigned and we hired a new CEO who is concentrating on the FinTech industry as well.

In March 2016, we discontinued our prior Oink product offering.

Overview

We are a technology company that will deliver an online and mobile payment platform solution for the family. Our system allows parents and their children to manage, allocate funds and track their expenditures, savings and charitable giving on both a mobile device and online through our web portal. Our system is designed to allow a minor to transact both online and in traditional brick and mortar retail outlets using the telephone handset as a payment device. The new payment platform automatically monitors regulatory compliance in real-time for all transactions; including protection of vendors from unintended regulatory infractions. In addition utilizing the same architecture we allow individual parents to create a contract with each child that sets the rules and parameters of how the child may use the mobile payment system with as much or as little parental oversight as the parent determines is necessary. In addition, we are including specialized technology that increases and improves the security of the system and protects the user’s identity while in use.

Management believes that building on its COPPA advantage that the future of Rego Payment Architectures, Inc. will be based on the foundational architecture of the system that will allow its use across multiple financial markets where secure controlled payments are needed. For the under seventeen years of age market, the company will use its OINK. Com brand. The Company will license in each alternative field of use the ability for its partners, distributors and/ or value added resellers to private label each of the alternative markets. These partners will deploy, customize and support each implementation under their own label but with acknowledgement of the Company’s proprietary intellectual assets as the base technology. Management believes this approach will enable the Company to reduce expenses while broadening its reach.

Revenues generated from this system will come from multiple sources depending on the level of service and facilities requested by the parent. There will be levels of subscription revenue paid monthly, service fees, transaction fees and in some cases revenue sharing with banking and distribution partners.

In addition, the team is analyzing specific components of our technology for individual monetization as well as exploring opportunities in the Business to Business (“B2B”) realm. The new architecture lends itself to provide closed network capability that allow B2B transactions outside of the traditional payment processing interchange services. This reduces the cost of transacting between businesses. Businesses that join the B2B will be able to perform instant settlements of transactions at lower fees than traditional services.

Industry Background

There are over 2 billion teens globally in the world and over 26 million teens in tour Total Addressable Market (TAM) here in the US alone, most without digital payment capability or traditional card technology. This is Generation Z (“Gen Z”), those born after the millennials (from 1995 to present) most of whom are currently under the age of 18 and are characterized by growing up in a highly sophisticated media and computer environment with greater internet savvy than any previous generation. They use the mobile internet more than any other generation on a daily basis. Marketers have been focused on the millennials for more than a decade. Gen Z is a generation that influences all family purchases and has disposable income. On average Gen Z receive $17/week in allowance which gives them $44 billion spending power in the US per year.

Table of Contents

Because there is no direct financial solution for this group, they still use either cash or their parent’s funding source (credit card) and hence there is still a lack of quantification of the dollar size of the kids “spending” market, which is separate from the dollars spent on kids. Marketers and regulators have taken note of the change and made a shift to a more “digital” approach to their overall strategy. Additionally, kids’ access to increasingly available technology has fueled concerns about security, safety and compliance with government regulations. As children march toward adulthood, parents are providing the means for children to have products (money), and technology and providing them the increasingly easy opportunity to do so.

With Gen Z in mind, the Company is focusing on the FinTech industry. Goldman Sachs has estimated that new FinTech companies could wrestle approximately $4.7 trillion in annual revenue and $470 billion in profit, away from established financial service companies. Additionally, in 2014 and 2015, venture capitalists infused $23.5 billion into the FinTech industry. Of that investment, approximately 27% was invested in consumer lending, 23% in payments and 16% in business lending. The industry is priding itself on utilizing data in more productive ways and making the consumer interface smoother.

The FinTech companies are not restricted by regulatory compliance nor antiquated systems with which the established financial services companies contend. These companies can concentrate on single purpose solutions, which are designed to enhance the user’s experience. The innovations taking place can be summarized in four categories:

Peer-to-Peer (“P2P”) value exchanges – Growth of applications has been stimulated by the popularity and use of social networks.

Applications with machine intelligence – Automation becoming a necessity in the do-it-yourself environment.

Data-driven services – The ability to access data and data analytics are leading to more individualized products and lower pricing of financial services.

Less definition between physical and virtual worlds – People are using financial services more in the virtual arena than in visiting physical locations.

With this as a backdrop, Rego Payment Architectures, Inc. has identified an emerging need to provide a financial platform that provides this generation with an alternative solution to traditional banking and solves current limitations on their ability to safely transact using mobile payment solutions for both brick & mortar retail outlets and online shopping.

The Company’s Relationship to the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”)

Though the Company does not target or collect the personal information of the under 13 age group, and rather targets parents and families as a whole, the products must still be compliant with COPPA. The new products will meet the requirements imposed by COPPA, including the recent amendments. The Company has gone further than dealing with the federal rules by mapping all state by state statutes and regulations that deviate from the federal laws and thus having a complete inter-state commerce view of the regulations that assure compliance for all participants in the system.

Other Consumer Privacy Protection Legislation

In late 2010, the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) and the Department of Commerce (“DOC”) each issued a staff report proposing new frameworks for consumer privacy protection; the FTC report called for federal “Do Not Track” legislation. The FTC has also increased its enforcement actions against companies that fail to live up to their privacy or data security commitments to consumers. A number of privacy and data security bills have been introduced in Congress that address the collection, maintenance and use of personal information, web browsing and geolocation data, and establish data security and breach notification requirements. Some state legislatures have adopted legislation that regulates how businesses operate on the Internet, including measures relating to privacy, data security and data breaches. Several Congressional hearings have examined privacy implications for online, offline and mobile data. The DOC recently issued a “green paper” on cybersecurity, and the White House has proposed cybersecurity legislation. Fundamental to the Company’s operating principles is to implement these regulatory conditions in its system and have the flexibility to adopt to any changes in legislation to meet federal and state compliance requirements.

Table of Contents

A number of foreign governments also have either adopted or are considering data privacy and security regulations. For example, the EU is currently reviewing its data privacy directive, which became effective in 1998 and sets baseline standards for the collection, use, disclosure, storage, security and transfer of personal data (collectively referred to as “data processing”). Among the proposed revisions are new rules that strengthen requirements to obtain explicit consent for data processing; special rules requiring parental consent for collecting children’s personal data; data breach obligations for all industry sectors and enhanced remedies for violations of privacy. Different policy options, including new regulations, are being considered at both the EU and member state levels. The company’s initial target is the U.S. However, the company has been performing research on compliance issues in the EU and is able to rapidly adopt to these new markets should the company choose to expand its services into those territories.

The Opportunity

Gen Z, the core target user of our OINK Mobile payment platform.

As consumers, Gen Z has deep pockets, but lacks direct access to funds.

Their spending power is significant and growing. According to the U.S. Census, Gen Z, will ultimately number close to 80 million. In 2015, 9.7% of adults said that their children influence 100% of what they buy, which is up from 7.6% in 2014 and 93% of parents say their children influence family spending and household purchases.

Last year, the average weekly allowance of a Gen Z is $17. This is based on an average of one dollar per week per year of age. The company’s focus group returns predict an average of $25 per week. Gen Z has a combined buying power of $44 billion in the US, representing the Company’s Total Addressable Market.

Social and digital learning is key to Gen Z.

52% of Gen Z uses YouTube or social media to research school assignments, while 85% research online and 33% watch lessons online. Sharing their knowledge is of equal importance with 60% of the Gen Z population opting to share their own knowledge with others online. When this generation makes purchases online 70% do so from a single online source.

Gen Z’s financial future and global impact has yet to be written.

While 60% of Gen Z say ‘a lot of money’ is a sign of success and 72% of Gen Z want to start a business one day, the details of how to make smart choices about money are not being shared. Only 17 states require a course in personal finance. Financial illiteracy is an epidemic and there’s no educational or private solution that has made an impact to scale. Gen Z is primed for deep engagement around future-focused payments solutions, but the conversation and learning and introduction of new financial technologies for this generation must occur within an experience that complements their values, interests and goals. To this end, the financial literacy facilities built within the system target both the parent and the child. These built in guidelines will prepare children for the financial responsibilities they will have in the future and prepare them for the emerging digital economy.

Our Solution

Our goal, moving forward is to enable both incumbent and new FinTech participants, as well as key verticals with a large base of ‘family accounts,’ to provide their consumers with safe and empowering youth money management and financial literacy content and tools via the OINK mobile payment platform.

Currently, our partner profile includes established brands with large family-focused account bases — including banks, telecommunication companies, faith-based organizations, media distributors, mobile device Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEMs”), and merchants.

Table of Contents

OINK partners will leverage our platform to:

Buy vs. Build: Partners can license for their specific market or field of use a safe, compliant system, instead of building one on their own.

Safety & Security: Partners can safely engage a younger consumer segment & their families with a new family friendly peer to peer payments approach. Vendors will be explicitly protected from non-compliant transactions and the underlying technology protects the privacy of the user.

Youth Financial Literacy: Partners can expand their brand story around empowerment and education of youth financial literacy while engaging their ‘future customers’ with Gen Z, a digital native population of post-millennial youth.

The OINK mobile payment platform and associated digital wallet technology is designed to enable our partners to engage families with Gen Z through the leading money management, transactional and financial literacy platform that enables young people to make smart decisions about the things they value in life — including their money, their time, their ideas and their connections. The new platform will enable a new way for individual users to own and monetize their purchasing behavior that is currently unavailable to them.

In addition, we are analyzing specific components of our technology for individual monetization as well as exploring opportunities in the Business to Business (“B2B”) realm.

Other markets for potential licensed applications are:

Government social services payments where control over how benefits allowances are used is required. This is particularly necessary in some European countries where social benefits are not being used as intended by the government or where benefits are subject to fraud.

Closed network consumer to business (C2B) and business to business (B2B). An example is school lunch programs where the consumer can make direct mobile payments to the provider’s point of sale terminal (POS) without the need to traverse the traditional merchant payment system. This reduces the cost per transaction for the vendor and provides instant non-repudiated settlement. Many school lunch programs are now provided by large catering companies. This is particularly valuable as credit card fees, transaction fees and service fees can exceed 3% in overhead costs per transaction dependent on the negotiated rate. Removing this overhead can have significant positive financial impact on profitably. It also allows the closed network to own its own behavioral use data thus obviating the need to pay a third party for the same data.

Our Intellectual Property

Intellectual property is important to our business. The Company has four issued patents with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”), entitled “System and Method for Verifying the Age of an Internet User,” “System and Method for Virtual Piggy Bank Wish-List,” ”Parent Match” and “System and Method for Virtual Piggy Bank.” The Company has filed for one provisional U.S. patent application, as well as twelve non-provisional U.S. patent applications, three of which are pending, four of which have been allowed, and five of which have been abandoned. Additionally, the Company has been granted two patents, entitled “Virtual Piggy Bank” and “Parent Match,” in each of Germany, Canada, and Australia. The Company also has patents pending in the Republic of Korea under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (“PCT”). Costs associated with the registration and legal defense of the patents have been capitalized and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated lives of the patents.

The following are the names and brief descriptions of certain of our applications:

Virtual Piggy Bank. A method of providing control preferences for a prospective Internet user, the method comprising the steps of establishing a first account, the settings of the first account being stored in a database; establishing a second account, the settings of the second account being stored in the database; linking the first and second accounts such that control settings of the second account are determined through the first account; and making a purchase from the second account consistent with the control settings of the second account.

Table of Contents

Until such time as the remaining pending patents are awarded, if ever, we intend to rely on trade secret protection and/or confidentiality agreements with our employees, customers, business partners and others to protect our intellectual property rights. The Company entered into a licensing agreement for the underlying technology used to provide the contract models and real time regulatory oversight disclosed in prior filings. The Company has also entered into licensing agreements with third party platform providers and is negotiating global license for its data management needs.

The Company is also negotiating the acquisition of particular technology inventions from university and commercial owners. Each of these is subject to the due diligence of reviewing the content and value of each protected invention.

Furthermore, we have filed trademark applications pertaining to our service with the USPTO, the European Community, and Canada. The USPTO has already granted us service mark registrations for Oink, Oink (stylized), PiggyPick, Virtual Piggy, Virtual Piggy and design (horizontal), the PIG design, Parent Match, Quickconnect, Virtual Piggy Youth Empowered Parent Approved and Design, Youth Empowered. Parent Approved, and Oink.com. The European Community has already granted us registration for Virtual Piggy, Virtual Piggy and Design, Virtual Piggy Youth Empowered Parent Approved and Design, PiggyPick, Wishlist Wednesday, the PIG design, and the PIG design (alternative). The Canadian Intellectual Property Office has already granted the registration for VP Authenticate.

Despite certain precautions taken by us, it may be possible for third parties to obtain and use our intellectual property without authorization. This risk may be increased due to the lack of patent and/or copyright protection. If any of our proprietary rights are misappropriated or we are forced to defend our intellectual property rights, we will have to incur substantial costs. Such litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of our resources, including diverting the time and effort of our senior management, and could disrupt our business, as well as have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. Management will from time to time determine whether applying for and pursuing patent and copyright protection is appropriate for us. We have no guarantee that any applications will be granted or, if awarded, whether they will offer us any meaningful protection from other companies in our business, or that we will have the financial resources to oppose any actual or threatened infringement by any third party. Furthermore, any patent or copyrights that we may be granted may be held by a court to infringe on the intellectual property rights of others and subject us to the payment of damage awards.

In addition, we cannot be certain that our technology will not infringe upon patents, copyrights or other intellectual property rights held by third parties. While we know of no basis for any claims of this type, the existence of and ownership of intellectual property can be difficult to verify and we have not made an exhaustive search of all patent filings. We may become subject to legal proceedings and claims from time to time relating to the intellectual property of others in the ordinary course of our business. If we are found to have violated the intellectual property rights of others, we may be enjoined from using such intellectual property, and we may incur licensing fees or be forced to develop alternative technology or obtain other licenses. In addition, we may incur substantial expenses in defending against these third party infringement claims and be diverted from devoting time to our business and operational issues, regardless of the merits of any such claim.

Research and Development

During 2016 and 2015, our research and product development expenses were $830,000 and $1.6 million all of which were borne by us.

Our Revenue Model

As of the date of this report, we have not generated significant revenue. Our previous revenues were generated by taking a small percentage of every transaction from an online merchant. Until now this was our only revenue source. As we proceed through 2017, we expect to generate additional revenue streams by generating licensing and customization fees from our co-branding partners.

Expected revenues will be derived from:

Private labeling licenses for: particular phones, telecommunication vendors, distributors, and value added resellers (VAR).

User Subscription fees based on premium services

Transaction and processing fees for both closed and open network transactions.

Special services fees for ad hoc special requests

Data analytics sales – using algorithms to analyze use data for sale to data brokers (meta data)

Advertising revenue – for context based push messaging to subscribers

Shared transaction revenue or rebates from banking partners

Table of Contents

Our Plan of Operation

A phased approach to the introduction of our improved Platform is planned.

We plan to launch our co-branding platform in the second quarter of 2017, however, this is dependent on our ability to generate renewed capital investment for working capital and to sustain operations. The Company will also enter into strategic partnerships where the strategic partner will provide development capital for special purpose customization or equity where appropriate.

Sales and Marketing Strategy

In 2017, we are focusing on onboarding established brands with large family-focused account bases that would enable us to co-brand our platform and reach the Gen Z population through the FinTech industry, telecommunications businesses and global consulting organizations. The Company maintains its view that these channels will provide rapid adoption of its technology across a broader industry segment.

Seasonality

Our new partner-first model, should not be subject to seasonality, as it is more a matter of when our partners come on board and pay the licensing and customization fees.

Competition

There is a continuous introduction of new entrants into the market and the development of new technologies and product offerings. Although payment services such as PayPal, Amex Bluebird, FamZoo and Visa Buxx can be viewed as our competitors, we do not believe that these provide the type of family friendly solution that not only teaches young people about saving, spending, and giving, but that is also compliant with COPPA, and other laws that users of all ages need to be aware of, including but not limited to privacy, data collection, and security. We believe we have built and continue to build a financial solution that is not only good for the youth market, but one that will be requested by them over other products. To compete effectively, we expect that we will focus a majority of our 2017 resources on technology and product development.

Government Regulation

The industry which we serve is subject to regulation by the FTC, laws such as COPPA, and other laws relating to collection, use, retention, and security. Complying with these varying U.S. and international requirements could cause us to incur substantial costs or require us to change our business practices in a manner adverse to our business. In addition, we have and post on our websites our own privacy policies and practices concerning the collection, use and disclosure of user data. Any failure, or perceived failure, by us to comply with our posted privacy policies or with any regulatory requirements or orders or other federal, state or international privacy or consumer protection-related laws and regulations could result in proceedings or actions against us by governmental entities or others, subject us to significant penalties and negative publicity and adversely affect us. In addition, we are subject to the possibility of security breaches, which themselves may result in a violation of these laws.

The Company has put in preventative measures to reduce the risk of non-compliance and security breaches. However, as the Company utilizes third party infrastructure, the risk of security breaches cannot be guaranteed but the Company has performed reasonable efforts to mitigate risk.

Employees

As of December 31, 2016, we had 8 employees, who were working in the areas of sales, marketing, programming and product development, web development, legal, finance and administration. None of our employees are represented by a union or covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We believe that our relations with our employees are good.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition And Results Of Operations and other parts of this Annual Report on Form 10-K contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. All forward-looking statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are based on information available to us on the date hereof, and except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors described elsewhere herein. The following should be read in conjunction with our annual financial statements contained elsewhere in this report.

Overview

On December 3, 2016, the Company incorporated a newly-formed wholly-owned Subsidiary, Finity, Inc. On December 11, 2015, the Company filed a Statement of Correction with the Pennsylvania Department of State, to change the name of Finity, Inc. to Finitii, Inc. The purpose of Finitii, Inc. is to teach children financial responsibility as a not for profit organization. On November 29, 2016, Finitii, Inc. was dissolved, without having any operations since inception.

As of the date of this report, we have not generated significant revenues. Our initial business plan was to develop an online game platform to allow game companies to create, monetize and distribute massive multiplayer online games (MMOG). The Company’s technology was the monetization component of this overall platform (our “Platform”). During 2010, we analyzed the market potential for an expanded Company solution and decided to concentrate our efforts on the delivery of a full-featured Company solution that was not restricted to online gaming. The expanded Company solution is designed to provide a complete online solution for families and parents to teach their children about financial management and spending on gaming, retail, music and entertainment. In late 2013, we rebranded our Company product under the name “Oink®”.

Strategic Outlook

We believe that the virtual goods market and the FinTech industry will continue to grow over the long term. Within the market and industry, we intend to provide services to allow transactions with children in compliance with COPPA and similar international privacy laws. We believe that this particular opportunity is relatively untapped and intend to be a leading provider of online transactions for children.

Sustained spending on technology, our ability to raise additional financing, the continued growth of the FinTech industry, and compliance with regulatory and reporting requirements are all external conditions that may affect our ability to execute our business plan. In addition, the FinTech industry is intensely competitive, and most participants have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial, technical, marketing, customer service and other resources, and greater name recognition. In addition, certain potential customers, particularly large organizations, may view our small size and limited financial resources as a negative even if they prefer our offering to those of our competitors.

Table of Contents

Our primary strategic objectives over the next 12-18 months are to increase our user base and the engagement level of that base. We plan to achieve that by implementing our partner-first go to market model in which established payments market leaders and vertical market participants can incorporate and integrate our platform into co-branded payments solutions targeting youth and family. Management believes this approach will enable the Company to reduce expenses while broadening its reach.

Within this partner-first model, the Company is incorporating licensing fees and customization services. This should enable the Company to begin creating shareholder value above and beyond consumer transaction fees. As our service grows, we intend to hire additional information technology staff to maintain our product offerings and develop new products to increase our market share.

We believe that our near-term success will depend particularly on our ability to develop customer awareness and confidence in our service. Since we have limited capital resources, we will need to closely manage our expenses and conserve our cash by continually monitoring any increase in expenses and reducing or eliminating unnecessary expenditures. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties encountered by companies at an early stage of development, particularly given that we operate in new and rapidly evolving markets, that we have limited financial resources, and face an uncertain economic environment. We may not be successful in addressing such risks and difficulties.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2016 and 2015

The following discussion analyzes our results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. The following information should be considered together with our financial statements for such periods and the accompanying notes thereto.

Revenue/Net Loss

Revenue

We have not generated significant revenue since our inception. For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, we generated revenues of $1,050 and $23,546. We discontinued our Oink card services offering in March 2016, which is the reason for the reduction in revenue.

Net Loss

Our net loss attributable to common stockholders decreased $2.8 million to $5.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to $8.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, as a result of decreased operating and interest expenses as further described below.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses decreased by $1.4 million, or 76% in 2016 to $0.4 million compared with $1.8 million in 2015. During 2016, we reduced our sales and marketing staff and consultants and decreased our spending on marketing promotions to focus on the further development of our technology platform.

Product Development

Product development expenses decreased by $0.8 million, or 50% in 2016 to $0.8 million compared with $1.6 million in 2015. During 2016, we reduced the size of our product development team in the United States while continuing to develop and build our new mobile and other applications with the resources available.

Table of Contents

Integration and Customer Support

Integration and customer support expenses decreased by $0.1 million, or 63% in 2016 to $0.1 million compared with $0.2 million in 2015. We eliminated our integration team when we terminated our prepaid card services in March 2016, as there was no product offering to integrate or support.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses decreased by $0.4 million, or 13% in 2016 to $3.0 million compared with $3.4 million in 2015. These 2016 expenses were commensurate with the 2015 expenses, based on the reduction in staff and continuing corporate overhead.

Strategic Consulting Expenses

Strategic consulting expenses decreased by $0.5 million, or 100% in 2016 to $0 million compared with $0.5 million in 2015. During 2016, we did not require strategic consultants.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash used in operating activities decreased $3.6 million to $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 as compared to $5.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. The decrease resulted primarily from the decrease in the net loss of approximately $2.8 million, offset in part by the revaluation of options and warrants.

Net cash used in investing activities was $0 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.

Net cash provided by financing activities decreased by $1.9 million to $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 from $4.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. Cash provided by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2016, consisted of issuing convertible notes payable in the amount of $1.4 million and compared to $2.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2015 and the issuance of notes payable in the amount of $0.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to $1.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2015.

Subsequent to December 31, 2016, the Company raised gross proceeds of $725,000 through the issuance of notes payable.

As we have not realized significant revenues since our inception, we have financed our operations through public and private offerings of debt and equity securities. We do not currently maintain a line of credit or term loan with any commercial bank or other financial institution.

Since our inception, we have focused on developing and implementing our business plan. We believe that our existing cash resources will not be sufficient to sustain our operations during the next twelve months. We currently need to generate sufficient revenues to support our cost structure to enable us to pay ongoing costs and expenses as they are incurred, finance the development of our platform, and execute the business plan. If we cannot generate sufficient revenue to fund our business plan, we intend to seek to raise such financing through the sale of debt and/or equity securities. The issuance of additional equity would result in dilution to existing shareholders. If we are unable to obtain additional funds when they are needed or if such funds cannot be obtained on terms acceptable to us, we will be unable to execute upon the business plan or pay costs and expenses as they are incurred, which would have a material, adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Even if we are successful in generating sufficient revenue or in raising sufficient capital in order to complete the platform, our ability to continue in business as a viable going concern can only be achieved when our revenues reach a level that sustains our business operations. We raised approximately $1.4 million through our issuance of convertible notes payable and another $0.7 million through the issuance of notes payable. The launch of the platform is expected in the second quarter of 2017, however, we do not project that significant revenue will be developed until later in 2017. There can be no assurance that we will raise sufficient proceeds, or any proceeds, for us to implement fully our proposed business plan. Moreover there can be no assurance that even if platform is developed and launched, that we will generate revenues sufficient to fund our operations. In either such situation, we may not be able to continue our operations and our business might fail.

Table of Contents

As of March 31, 2017, the Company has a cash position of approximately $21,000. Based upon the current cash position and the Company’s planned expense run rate, management believes the Company will not be able to finance its operations through April 2017.

The foregoing forward-looking information was prepared by us in good faith based upon assumptions that we believe to be reasonable. No assurance can be given, however, regarding the attainability of the projections or the reliability of the assumptions on which they are based. The projections are subject to the uncertainties inherent in any attempt to predict the results of our operations, especially where new products and services are involved. Certain of the assumptions used will inevitably not materialize and unanticipated events will occur. Actual results of operations are, therefore, likely to vary from the projections and such variations may be material and adverse to us. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that such results will be achieved. Moreover due to changes in technology, new product announcements, competitive pressures, system design and/or other specifications we may be required to change the current plans.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2016, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partners, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As such, we are not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our financial statements are impacted by the accounting policies used and the estimates and assumptions made by management during their preparation. A complete summary of these policies is included in Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements included elsewhere herein. We have identified below the accounting policies that are of particular importance in the presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows and which require the application of significant judgment by management.

Stock-based Compensation

We have adopted the fair value recognition provisions Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) 718. In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 “Share-Based Payment” (“SAB 107”) in March, 2005, which provides supplemental FASB ASC 718 application guidance based on the views of the SEC. Under FASB ASC 718, compensation cost recognized includes compensation cost for all share-based payments granted beginning January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 718.

We have used the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the option fair values. The option-pricing model requires a number of assumptions, of which the most significant are, expected stock price volatility, the expected pre-vesting forfeiture rate and the expected option term (the amount of time from the grant date until the options are exercised or expire).

All issuances of stock options or other equity instruments to non-employees as consideration for goods or services received by the Company are accounted for based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued. Non-employee equity based payments that do not vest immediately upon grant are recorded as an expense over the service period, as if the Company had paid cash for the services. At the end of each financial reporting period, prior to the completion of the services, the fair value of the equity based payments will be re-measured and the non-cash expense recognized during the period will be adjusted accordingly. Since the fair value of equity based payments granted to non-employees is subject to change in the future, the amount of the future expense will include fair value re-measurements until the equity based payments are fully vested or the service is completed.

Revenue Recognition

In accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition (Codified in FASB ASC 605), we will recognize revenue when (i) persuasive evidence of a customer or distributor arrangement exists or acceptance occurs, (ii) a retailer, distributor or wholesaler receives the goods, (iii) the price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability of the sales revenues is reasonably assured. Subject to these criteria, we have generally recognized revenue from Oink and ParentMatch at the time of the sale of the associated product.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management has evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15(d)-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2016, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure (i) that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, in order to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Table of Contents

Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016 using criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2016.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which permits us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act) that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Code of Ethics

Our board of directors approved a Code of Ethics and Rules of Conduct in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that governs the conduct of each of our directors, officers, consultants and employees. Our Code of Ethics and Rules of Conduct is maintained on our website at www.oink.com.

There are currently no such amendments or waivers.

We recognize the importance of preventing both actual conflicts of interest and the appearance of such conflicts in dealings between the Company and “related persons” (our directors, director nominees, executive officers, stockholders beneficially owning 5% or greater of our common stock, or the immediate family members of any of the foregoing). The Board of Directors will regularly review our corporate policies with respect to conflicts of interest including related party transactions and investigates instances of such conflicts.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires that our officers and directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our common stock file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in beneficial ownership of our common stock with the SEC. They are also required to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file with the SEC. Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received by us, or written representations from such persons that no reports were required for those persons, we believe that all Section 16(a) filing requirements were satisfied during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, except Gerald Hannahs and Ernest Cimadamore failed to file two Form 4s on a timely basis, Kirk Bradley, Edwin Manning, Scott McPherson, Dale Jensen and Kathleen Tobia each failed to file one Form 4 on a timely basis.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Rego Payment Architectures, Inc. (formerly Virtual Piggy, Inc.)

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Rego Payment Architectures, Inc. (formerly Virtual Piggy, Inc.) (the "Company") as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such an opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company’s losses from development activities raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to the Financial Statements

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of the Business

Rego Payment Architectures, Inc. (formerly Virtual Piggy, Inc.) (the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware on February 11, 2008. Effective February 28, 2017, the Company changed its name from Virtual Piggy, Inc to Rego Payment Architectures, Inc.

The Company is a technology company that will deliver an online and mobile payment platform solution for the family. The system allows parents and their children to manage, allocate funds and track their expenditures, savings and charitable giving on both a mobile device and online through the Company’s web portal. The Company’s system is designed to allow a minor to transact both online and in traditional brick and mortar retail outlets using the telephone handset as a payment device. The new payment platform automatically monitors regulatory compliance in real-time for all transactions; including protection of vendors from unintended regulatory infractions. In addition utilizing the same architecture we allow individual parents to create a contract with each child that sets the rules and parameters of how the child may use the mobile payment system with as much or as little parental oversight as the parent determines is necessary. In addition, the Company is including specialized technology that increases and improves the security of the system and protects the user’s identity while in use.

Management believes that building on its COPPA advantage that the future of the Company will be based on the foundational architecture of the system that will allow its use across multiple financial markets where secure controlled payments are needed. For the under seventeen years of age market, the Company will use its OINK. Com brand. The Company intends to license in each alternative field of use the ability for its partners, distributors and/or value added resellers to private label each of the alternative markets. These partners will deploy, customize and support each implementation under their own label but with acknowledgement of the Company’s proprietary intellectual assets as the base technology. Management believes this approach will enable the company to reduce expenses while broadening its reach.

Revenues generated from this system are contemplated to come from multiple sources depending on the level of service and facilities requested by the parent. There will be levels of subscription revenue paid monthly, service fees, transaction fees and in some cases revenue sharing with banking and distribution partners.

In addition, the Company is analyzing specific components of the technology for individual monetization as well as exploring opportunities in the Business to Business (“B2B”) realm. The new architecture lends itself to provide closed network capability that allow B2B transactions outside of the traditional payment processing interchange services. This reduces the cost of transacting between businesses. Businesses that join the B2B will be able to perform instant settlements of transactions at lower fees than traditional services.

The Company’s principal office is located in Palm Beach, Florida, and in 2013 the Company opened an office in London, England to support the sales and marketing efforts in Europe and the development of its mobile applications. The London office was closed in September 2015.

On December 3, 2015, Finity, Inc. was incorporated as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. On December 11, 2015, Finity, Inc. changed its name to Finitii, Inc. Finitii, Inc. was established as a not for profit entity for the purpose of teaching children financial literacy. On November 29, 2016, Finitii, Inc. was dissolved, without having any operations since inception.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements of Rego Payment Architectures, Inc. (formerly Virtual Piggy, Inc.) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

F-7

Table of Contents

The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including failing to secure additional financing to operationalize the Company’s current technology before another company develops similar technology to compete with the Company.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Comprehensive Income

The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) 220 in reporting comprehensive income. Comprehensive income is a more inclusive financial reporting methodology that includes disclosure of certain financial information that historically has not been recognized in the calculation of net income. The Company has one item of other comprehensive income, consisting of a foreign translation adjustment.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and notes payable. The carrying value of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value because of their short maturities. The Company believes the carrying amount of its notes payable approximate fair value based on rates and other terms currently available to the Company for similar debt instruments.

The Company follows FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, and applies it to all assets and liabilities that are being measured and reported on a fair value basis. The statement requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1: Quoted market price in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which a fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency of operations outside the U.S. was British Pounds. The Company closed its sales office in England in September 2015, and the cumulative translation adjustment was reported as part of the gain on closing the England office in accordance with FASB ASC 830-30, Foreign Currency Matters.

Concentration of Credit Risk Involving Cash

The Company may have deposits with a financial institution which at times exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) coverage. The Company has not experienced any losses from maintaining cash accounts in excess of federally insured limits.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all cash accounts, which are not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties, and certificates of deposit and commercial paper with original maturities of 90 days or less to be cash or cash equivalents.

Property and Equipment

Property, equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Maintenance and repairs of property are charged to operations, and major improvements are capitalized. Upon retirement, sale, or other disposition of property and equipment, the costs and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is included in operations. The cost of leasehold improvements is amortized over the lesser length of the related leases or the estimated useful lives of the assets. Depreciation expense related to property and equipment was $7,064 and $76,866 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 and is included in general and administrative expenses.

Table of Contents

The Company’s depreciation and amortization policies on property and equipment are as follows:

		Useful life
		(in years)

Computer equipment		3 - 5
Furniture and fixtures		7
Leasehold improvements		Term of lease

Patents and Trademarks

The Company has four issued patents with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”), entitled “System and Method for Verifying the Age of an Internet User,” “System and Method for Virtual Piggy Bank Wish-List,” ”Parent Match” and “System and Method for Virtual Piggy Bank.” The Company has filed for one provisional U.S. patent application, as well as twelve non-provisional U.S. patent applications, three of which are pending, four of which have been allowed, and five of which have been abandoned. Additionally, the Company has been granted two patents, entitled “Virtual Piggy Bank” and “Parent Match,” in each of Germany, Canada, and Australia. The Company also has patents pending in the Republic of Korea under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (“PCT”). Costs associated with the registration and legal defense of the patents have been capitalized and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated lives of the patents.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets in accordance with FASB ASC 360 “Property, Plant, and Equipment.” The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets are measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset, undiscounted and without interest or independent appraisals. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets.

Deferred Financing Costs

Costs incurred in securing long-term debt are deferred and amortized, as a charge to interest expense, over the term of the related debt. In the case of long-term debt modifications, the Company follows the guidance provided by FASB ASC 470-50, Debt-Modification and Extinguishments.

Convertible Notes Payable

Convertible notes payable, for which the embedded conversion feature does not qualify for derivative treatment, are evaluated to determine if the effective or actual rate of conversion per the terms of the convertible note agreement is below market value. In these instances, the Company accounts for the value of the beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) as a debt discount, which is then accreted to interest expense over the life of the related debt using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method.

Revenue Recognition

In accordance with FASB ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, the Company will recognize revenue when (i) persuasive evidence of a customer or distributor arrangement exists or acceptance occurs, (ii) a retailer, distributor or wholesaler receives the goods, (iii) the price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability of the sales revenues is reasonably assured. Subject to these criteria, the Company will generally recognize revenue at the time of the sale of the associated product.

F-9

Table of Contents

Income Taxes

The Company follows FASB ASC 740 when accounting for income taxes, which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for temporary differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Tax years from 2013 through 2016 remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions.

Stock-based Payments

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the provisions of FASB ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based awards made to employees and directors based on estimated fair values on the grant date. The Company estimates the fair value of stock-based awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods using the straight-line method. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation awards to non-employees in accordance with FASB ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. Under FASB ASC 505-50, the Company determines the fair value of the warrants or stock-based compensation awards granted as either the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. All issuances of stock options or other equity instruments to non-employees as consideration for goods or services received by the Company are accounted for based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued. Non-employee equity based payments that do not vest immediately upon grant are recorded as an expense over the service period, as if the Company had paid cash for the services. At the end of each financial reporting period, prior to the completion of the services, the fair value of the equity based payments will be re-measured and the non-cash expense recognized during the period will be adjusted accordingly. Since the fair value of equity based payments granted to non-employees is subject to change in the future, the amount of the future expense will include fair value re-measurements until the equity based payments are fully vested or the service is completed.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs were $0 and $119,036 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. These costs are included in sales and marketing expenses.

Product Development Costs

In accordance with FASB ASC 730, research and development costs are expensed when incurred. Research and development costs were $830,052 and $1,643,327 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.

Loss Per Share

The Company follows FASB ASC 260 when reporting Earnings Per Share resulting in the presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Because the Company reported a net loss for each of the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, common stock equivalents, including preferred stock, stock options and warrants were anti-dilutive; therefore, the amounts reported for basic and diluted loss per share were the same.

Start-up Costs

In accordance with FASB ASC 720, start-up costs are expensed as incurred.

Segment Information

The Company is organized and operates as one operating segment. In accordance with FASB ASC 280, Segment Reporting, the chief operating decision-maker has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer, who reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company subject to Board approval. Since the Company operates in one segment and provides one group of similar products, all financial segment and product line information required by FASB ASC 280 can be found in the financial statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The amendments in this Update provide guidance about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued and to provide related footnote disclosures. Substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern exists when relevant conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, indicate that it is probable that the entity will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. The amendments in this Update are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The amendments were adopted as of December 31, 2016, see Note 2 for management’s evaluation and disclosure.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14 which deferred the effective date of Update 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company anticipates that the impact of this guidance on the financial statements will not be material.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. The amendments in this Update require that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Earlier application is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of this standard to have a material effect on the financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The amendments in this Update specify the accounting for leases. The core principle of Topic 842 is that a lessee should recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company anticipates that the impact of this guidance on the financial statements will not be material.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions, including: (1) income tax consequences; (2) classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and (3) classification on the statement of cash flows. For public companies, the amendments in the ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adoption that this guidance will have on the financial statements.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred significant losses and experienced negative cash flow from operations since inception. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

F-11

Table of Contents

Since inception, the Company has focused on developing and implementing its business plan. The Company believes that its existing cash resources will not be sufficient to sustain operations during the next twelve months. The Company currently needs to generate revenue in order to sustain its operations. In the event that the Company cannot generate sufficient revenue to sustain its operations, the Company will need to reduce expenses or obtain financing through the sale of debt and/or equity securities. The issuance of additional equity would result in dilution to existing shareholders. If the Company is unable to obtain additional funds when they are needed or if such funds cannot be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company, the Company would be unable to execute upon the business plan or pay costs and expenses as they are incurred, which would have a material, adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Company’s current monetization model is to derive revenues from levels of subscription revenue paid monthly, service fees, transaction fees and in some cases revenue sharing with banking and distribution partners. As these bases of revenues grow, the Company expects to generate additional revenue to support operations.

As of March 31, 2017, the Company has a cash position of approximately $21,000. Based upon the current cash position and the Company’s planned expense run rate, management believes the Company has funds currently to finance its operations through April 2017.

NOTE 3 – PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS

The Company continues to apply for patents and purchased the Oink trademark in November 2013. Accordingly, costs associated with the registration of the patents have been capitalized and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated lives of the patents (20 years). The trademark is also being amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 20 years. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, capitalized patent and trademark costs, net of accumulated amortization, were $552,573 and $589,420. Amortization expense for patents and trademarks was $36,848 and $37,209 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.

During 2016 and 2015, the Company abandoned its application for several of its patents and trademarks. Accordingly, the Company recorded a charge to general and administrative expenses for $0 and $43,391 relating to costs previously capitalized with respect to these applications.

NOTE 8 - INCOME TAXES

The Company follows FASB ASC 740-10-10 whereby an entity recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences or events that have been previously recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities is based on provisions of enacted tax law. The effects of future changes in tax laws or rates are not anticipated.

At December 31, 2016, the Company has a net operating loss (“NOL”) that approximates $59 million. Consequently, the Company may have NOL carryforwards available for federal income tax purposes, which would begin to expire in 2028. Deferred tax assets would arise from the recognition of anticipated utilization of these net operating losses to offset future taxable income.

The income tax (benefit) provision consists of the following:

	December 31,
	2016			2015
Current	$	(1,655,000	)	$	(2,714,000	)

Issuance of Restricted Shares

A restricted stock award (“RSA”) is an award of common shares that is subject to certain restrictions during a specified period. Restricted stock awards are independent of option grants and are generally subject to forfeiture if employment terminates prior to the release of the restrictions. The grantee cannot transfer the shares before the restricted shares vest. Shares of nonvested restricted stock have the same voting rights as common stock, are entitled to receive dividends and other distributions thereon and are considered to be currently issued and outstanding. The Company’s restricted stock awards generally vest over a period of one year. The Company expenses the cost of the restricted stock awards, which is determined to be the fair market value of the shares at the date of grant, straight-line over the period during which the restrictions lapse. For these purposes, the fair market value of the restricted stock is determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date.

During the second quarter of 2015, the Company issued a consultant a total of 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock which were valued at the closing price on the date of issuance of $0.27, $0.40 and $0.30, valuing the total shares at $48,500, which was expensed immediately.

The RSAs granted in April 2016 to the new CEO were valued at $55,000 based on the market price of the shares on the issuance date, which was $0.11. The value of the 250,000 RSAs that vested immediately, or $27,500, was expensed immediately and the remainder was recorded as deferred compensation and is being amortized.

During the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the weighted average fair value of stock options granted during the year was $0.09 and $0.24. The fair value of stock options is expensed over the vesting term in accordance with the terms of the related stock option agreements.

For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company expensed $436,127 and $341,585 relative to the fair value of stock options granted.

As of December 31, 2016, there was $319,803 of unrecognized compensation cost related to outstanding stock options. This amount is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.4 years. To the extent the actual forfeiture rate is different from what we have estimated, stock-based compensation related to these awards will be different from our expectations.
