Organization

GreenBox POS (the “Company” or “PubCo”) is a tech company formed with the intent of developing, marketing and selling innovative blockchain-based payment solutions, which the Company believes will cause favorable disruption in the payment solutions marketplace. The Company’s core focus is to develop and monetize disruptive blockchain-based applications, integrated within an end-to-end suite of financial products, capable of supporting a multitude of industries. The Company’s proprietary, blockchain-based systems are designed to facilitate, record and store a virtually limitless volume of tokenized assets, representing cash or data, on a secured, immutable blockchain-based ledger.

The Company was formerly known as GreenBox POS, Inc (“ASAP”), which was incorporated April 10, 2007 under the laws of the State of Nevada. On January 4, 2020, PubCo and GreenBox POS LLC, a Washington limited liability company (“PrivCo”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”), to memorialize a verbal agreement (the “Verbal Agreement”) entered into on April 12, 2018, by and among PubCo (the buyer) and PrivCo, which was formed on August 10, 2017 (the seller). On April 12, 2018, pursuant to the Verbal Agreement, PubCo acquired PrivCo’s blockchain gateway and payment system business, point of sale system business, delivery business and kiosk business, and bank and merchant accounts, as well as all intellectual property related thereto (the “GreenBox Business”). As consideration for the GreenBox Business, on April 12, 2018, PubCo assumed PrivCo’s liabilities that had been incurred in the normal course of the GreenBox Business (collectively, the “GreenBox Acquisition”).

For accounting and reporting purposes, PubCo deemed the GreenBox Acquisition a “Reverse Acquisition” with PrivCo designated the “accounting acquirer” and PubCo designated the “accounting acquiree.”

Name Change

On May 3, 2018, PubCo formally changed its name to GreenBox POS LLC, then subsequently changed its name to GreenBox POS on December 13, 2018. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to “the Company,” “we,” “our”, “us” and “PubCo” refer to GreenBox POS. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to “PrivCo” or the “Private Company” refer to GreenBox POS LLC, a limited liability company, formed in the state of Washington.

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

These unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial reporting and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit reduced disclosure for interim periods. Therefore, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented have been made. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018.

The balance sheets and certain comparative information as of December 31, 2018 are derived from the audited financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2018 (“2018 Annual Financial Statements”), included in the Company’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2018 Annual Financial Statements.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The financial statements include the combined accounts of PubCo and PrivCo. All amounts are presented in U.S. Dollars unless otherwise stated. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

Going Concern

As of September 30, 2019, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash of $254,616, has incurred a net loss of $1,383,815 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, and has accumulated a deficit of $3,416,410 as of September 30, 2019. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Additionally, as the GreenBox ecosystem grows, substantially larger volumes of working capital financing will be required to support our platform’s growth.

The Company intends to raise additional capital through private placements of debt and equity securities, but there can be no assurance that these funds will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or will be sufficient to enable the Company to fully complete its development activities or sustain operations. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional funds, we will have to develop and implement a plan to further extend payables, reduce overhead or scale back our business plan until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations. There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful.

Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP, which contemplate our continuation as a going concern, and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Restatement

On April 12, 2018, pursuant to a verbal agreement (the “Verbal Agreement”), PubCo acquired PrivCo’s blockchain gateway and payment system business, point of sale system business, delivery business and kiosk business, and bank and merchant accounts, as well as all intellectual property related thereto (the “GreenBox Business”). As consideration for the GreenBox Business, on April 12, 2018, PubCo assumed PrivCo’s liabilities that had been incurred in the normal course of the GreenBox Business (collectively, the “GreenBox Acquisition”).

From April 12, 2018 through January 4, 2020 (the “In Between Period”), because there was ambiguity regarding the validity of the Verbal Agreement, PubCo filed required quarterly and annual reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission as if there had not been a Reverse Acquisition. During the In Between Period, PrivCo continued to operate as if it still owned the GreenBox Business, which included maintaining records of GreenBox Business financial transactions on PrivCo’s accounting software, and entering into contracts and agreements as PrivCo, while PubCo paid all expenses, including expenses related to PrivCo contracts entered into prior to April 12, 2018 and after April 12, 2018, as well as expenses incurred as a result of litigation resulting from disagreements between PrivCo and other parties. During the In Between Period, PubCo represented itself in press releases, as being the owner/operator of the GreenBox Business. Additionally, from April 12, 2018 through approximately December 31, 2018, PubCo and PrivCo shared control of PrivCo’s bank accounts, and on approximately January 1, 2019, PubCo assumed control of PrivCo’s bank accounts.

By virtue of the payment of PrivCo’s litigation expenses by PubCo, by virtue of PubCo representing itself in press releases, as being the owner/operator of the GreenBox Business, and by virtue of the shared control of PrivCo’s bank accounts starting on April 12, 2018, both PubCo and PrivCo concluded that the Verbal Agreement was valid and the GreenBox Business asset acquisition took place on April 12, 2018.

On January 4, 2020, PubCo and PrivCo entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”), to memorialize the Verbal Agreement. For accounting and reporting purposes, PubCo deemed the GreenBox Acquisition a “Reverse Acquisition” with PrivCo designated the “accounting acquirer” and PubCo designated the “accounting acquiree.”

Because PubCo previously filed quarterly and annual reports for 2018 with the Securities and Exchange Commission as if there had not been a Reverse Acquisition, PubCo was required to file amended Form 10-Qs for the periods ending June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2018, and an amended Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2018 (collectively the “Amended Reports”). These Amended Reports differ substantially from previously filed reports in that PubCo’s financials are presented on a combined basis with PrivCo. Additionally, the previous business operations of PubCo prior to April 12, 2018 are disregarded.

The Company therefore filed, on February 7, 2020, an amended 10-K (“Amended 10-K”) to the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, originally filed with the SEC on April 16, 2019 (the “2018 Report”) to restate the Company’s financial statements and revise related disclosures. As a substantial part of the Amended 10-K was amended and/or restated, the Company presented the entire text of the 2018 Report, as amended and/or restated by the Amended 10-K. Readers should therefore read and rely only on the Amended 10-K in lieu of the original 2018 Report.

 Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the GAAP 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 those estimates.

Reclassification

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations or cash flows.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

The Company’s cash, cash equivalent and Restricted cash represents the following:

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the statement of financial position that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the statement of cash flows.

Cash Due from Gateways and Payment Processing Liabilities

The Company’s primary source of revenues continues to be payment processing services for its merchant clients. When such merchant makes a sale, the process of receiving the payment card information, engaging the banks for transferring the proceeds to the merchant’s account via digital gateways, and recording the transaction on a blockchain ledger are the activities for which the Company gets to collect fees.

In 2019 the Company utilized several gateways. The gateways have strict guidelines pertaining to scheduling of the release of funds to merchants based on several criteria, such as return and chargeback history, associated risk for the specific business vertical, average transaction amount and so on. In order to mitigate processing risks, these policies determine reserve requirements and payment in arear strategy. While reserve and payment in arear restrictions are in effect for a merchant payout, the Company records gateway debt against these amounts until released.

Therefore, the total gateway balances reflected in the Company’s books represent the amount owed to the Company for processing – these are funds from transactions processed and not yet distributed.

Advertising and Marketing Costs

Advertising and marketing costs are recorded as general and administrative expenses when they are incurred. Advertising and marketing expenses were $10,319 and $30,652 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $35,928 and $135,757 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs, which are expensed as incurred, are primarily comprised of costs and expenses for salaries and benefits for research and development personnel, outsourced contract services, and supplies and materials costs. Research and development expenses were $381,112 and $124,897 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $1,085,298 and $287,919 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provide guidance for presentation of revenue and for disclosure related to revenue recognition policies in financial statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Management believes the Company’s revenue recognition policies conform to ASC 606.

The Company recognizes revenue when 1) it is realized or realizable and earned, 2) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, 3) delivery and performance has occurred, 4) there is a fixed or determinable sales price, and 5) collection is reasonably assured.

The Company generates revenue from payment processing services, licensing fees and equipment sales.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed primarily using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to eight years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the related assets or the lease term. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. For assets sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any related gain or loss is reflected in income for the period.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company utilizes ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure, for valuing financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. The guidance also establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. The guidance establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

Level 2. Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

The Company’s financial instruments consisted of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, advances to due to or from affiliated companies, notes payable to officers.  The estimated fair value of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to or from affiliated companies, and notes payable approximates its carrying amount due to the short maturity of these instruments.

The table below describes the Company’s valuation of financial instruments using guidance from ASC 820-10:

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(continued)

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements, net of operating loss carry forwards and credits, by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is not more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized.  Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities.

Long-Lived Asset Impairments

The Company reviews long-lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets, for impairment when events or changes in business conditions indicate that their carrying value may not be recovered, and at least annually. The Company considers assets to be impaired and writes them down to estimated fair value if expected associated undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amounts. Fair value is the present value of the associated cash flows.

Earnings Per Share

A basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the year. Dilutive earnings per share include the effect of any potentially dilutive debt or equity under the treasury stock method, if including such instruments is dilutive. The Company’s diluted earnings/loss per share is the same as the basic earnings/loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, as there are no potential shares outstanding that would have a dilutive effect.

Leases

Prior to January 1, 2019, the Company accounted for leases under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 840, Accounting for Leases. Effective from January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the guidance of ASC 842, Leases, which requires an entity to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for virtually all leases

On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing transactions. ASC 842 requires that lessees recognize right of use assets and lease liabilities calculated based on the present value of lease payments for all lease agreements with terms that are greater than twelve months.

ASC 842 distinguishes leases as either a finance lease or an operating lease that affects how the leases are measured and presented in the statement of operations and statement of cash flows. ASC 842 supersedes nearly all existing lease accounting guidance under GAAP issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) including ASC Topic 840, Leases.

For operating leases, we calculated right of use assets and lease liabilities based on the present value of the remaining lease payments as of the date of adoption using the IBR as of that date.

The adoption of ASC 842 resulted in recording an adjustment to operating lease right of use assets and operating lease liabilities of liabilities of $256,242 and $260,534, respectively as of September 30, 2019. The difference between the operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities at transition represented tenant improvements, and indirect costs that was derecognized. The adoption of ASC 842 did not materially impact our results of operations, cash flows, or presentation thereof.

Recently Adopted Accounting Updates

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize on the balance sheet assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. Consistent with prior GAAP, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee will depend primarily on its classification as a finance or operating lease. However, unlike prior GAAP—which required only finance (formerly capital) leases to be recognized on the balance sheet—the new ASU requires both types of leases to be recognized on the balance sheet. The ASU took effect for public companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. This standard can be applied at the beginning of the earliest period presented using the modified retrospective approach, which includes certain practical expedients that an entity may elect to apply, including an election to use certain transition relief. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases and ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, which make improvements to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842 and allow entities to not restate comparative periods in transition to ASC 842 and instead report the comparative periods under ASC 840.

The adoption of ASC 842 resulted in recording an adjustment to operating lease right of use assets and operating lease liabilities of liabilities of $256,242 and $260,534, respectively as of September 30, 2019. The difference between the operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities at transition represented tenant improvements, and indirect costs that was derecognized. The adoption of ASC 842 did not materially impact our results of operations, cash flows, or presentation thereof.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The standard removes, modifies, and adds certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. While the Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effects of this standard on the consolidated financial statements, the Company plans to adopt ASU No. 2018-13 in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, coinciding with the standard’s effective date, and expects the impact from this standard to be immaterial.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract. This standard aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). The Company’s accounting for the service element of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract is not affected by the proposed amendments and will continue to be expensed as incurred in accordance with existing guidance. This standard does not expand on existing disclosure requirements except to require a description of the nature of hosting arrangements that are service contracts. This standard is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period for which financial statements have not been issued. Entities can choose to adopt the new guidance prospectively or retrospectively. The Company plans to adopt the updated disclosure requirements of ASU No. 2018-15 prospectively in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, coinciding with the standard’s effective date, and expects the impact from this standard to be immaterial.

Other recently issued accounting updates are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Interim Financial Statements.

On January 4, 2020, PubCo and PrivCo entered into the Agreement to memorialize the Verbal Agreement. On April 12, 2018, pursuant to the Verbal Agreement, PubCo acquired PrivCo’s blockchain gateway and payment system business, point of sale system business, delivery business and kiosk business, and bank and merchant accounts, as well as all intellectual property related thereto (the “GreenBox Business”). As consideration for the GreenBox Business, on April 12, 2018, PubCo assumed PrivCo’s liabilities that had been incurred in the normal course of the GreenBox Business (collectively, the “GreenBox Acquisition”).

For accounting and reporting purposes, PubCo deemed the GreenBox Acquisition a “Reverse Acquisition” with PrivCo designated the “accounting acquirer” and PubCo designated the “accounting acquiree.”

The value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was $843,694 and $589,078, respectively, on April 12, 208. Exclusions from the Agreement included shares in PubCo held by PrivCo, which remain a PrivCo asset, and $185,000 of a $300,000 convertible promissory note issued by PrivCo.

The following is the purchase price allocation on April 12, 2018: 

This acquisition resulted in a “Gain on Bargain Purchase” for PubCo because the fair value of assets we acquired exceeded the total of the fair value of consideration we paid by $254,616. However, as we deemed the acquisition a Reverse Acquisition for accounting purposes, the $254,616 gain was rerecorded and presented as Paid in Capital within our Consolidated Balance Sheet on the date of acquisition. The operating results of the GreenBox Business for the period from April 12, 2018 going forward have been included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company did not incur a significant amount in transaction costs in connection with the acquisition, but any and all costs were expensed as incurred and are included within the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The Company’s proprietary blockchain-based technology serves as the settlement engine for all transactions within the Company’s ecosystem. The blockchain ledger provides a robust and secure platform to log immense volumes of immutable transactional records in real time. Generally speaking, blockchain is a distributed ledger that uses digitally encrypted keys to verify, secure and record details of each transaction conducted within an ecosystem. Unlike general blockchain-based systems, GreenBox uses proprietary, private ledger technology to verify every transaction conducted within the GreenBox ecosystem. The verification of transaction data comes from trusted partners, all of whom have been extensively vetted by us.

GreenBox facilitates all financial elements of our closed-loop ecosystem and we act as the administrator for all related accounts. Using our TrustGateway technology, we seek authorization and settlement for each transaction from Gateways to the issuing bank responsible for the credit/debit card used in the transaction. When the Gateway settles the transaction, our TrustGateway technology composes a chain of blockchain instructions to our ledger manager system.

When consumers use credit/debit cards to pay for transactions with merchants who use our ecosystem, the transaction starts with the consumer purchasing tokens from us. The issuance of tokens is accomplished when we load a virtual wallet with a token, which then transfers credits to the merchant’s wallet on a dollar for dollar basis, after which the merchant releases its goods or services to the consumer. These transfers take place instantaneously and seamlessly, allowing the transaction experience to seem like any other ordinary credit/debit card transaction to the consumer and merchant.

While our blockchain ledger records transaction details instantaneously, the final cash settlement of each transaction can take days to weeks, depending upon contract terms between us and the gateways we use, between us and our ISOs, and between us and/or our ISOs and merchants who use our services. In the case where we have received transaction funds, but not yet paid a merchant or an ISO, we hold funds in either a trust account or as cash deemed restricted within our operating accounts. We record the total of such funds as Cash held for Settlements – a Current Asset. Of these funds, we record the sum balance due to Merchants and ISOs as Settlement Liabilities to Merchants and Settlement Liabilities to ISOs, respectively.

The table below shows the status of transaction settlements:

(1) During 2018, the Company absorbed all chargeback costs as a cost of services provided – essentially a sales promotion tool to onboard customers in 2018. The Chargeback Allowance shown in the table above reflects our estimate of potential chargebacks that are likely to be realized in 2019, which are connected to sales transactions that occurred in 2018. The allowance decreases the amount that GreenBox is owed from the Gateways we use in our proprietary ecosystem. In 2019, the actual dollar amount of chargebacks will be reconciled with our allowance.

(2) Reserves are essentially an escrow fund that protects a gateway/card issuer from financial losses. In the Reserve, funds are held until chargeback time limits expire.

(3) The Refund Allowance shown in the table above reflects our estimate of potential refunds that may be realized in 2019, which are connected to sales transactions that occurred in 2018. The allowance decreases the amount that GreenBox owes to Merchants using our proprietary ecosystem. In 2019, the actual dollar amount of refunds with be reconciled with our allowance.

Vista Capital Investments, LLC - $500,000 (original received $375k)

On March 11, 2019, PubCo issued a convertible promissory note for $500,000 to Vista Capital Investments, LLC (“Vista”) (the “Vista Note”), due October 6, 2019 (the “Maturity Date”). The Vista Note incurred a onetime interest charge of 8%, which was recorded at issuance, and was due upon repayment of the Vista Note. The Vista Note included an original issue discount of $125,000, netting the balance received by PubCo from Vista at $375,000. The Vista transaction included commitment fees, which took the form of an obligation by PubCo to issue Vista 25,0000 shares and a four-year warrant to purchase 125,000 shares (the “Commitment Shares”) which are only provided in the event of default. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, as defined in the Vista Note, the conversion price shall become equal to a 65% of the lowest traded price for the Company’s common stock in the 25 consecutive trading days preceding the notice of conversion and the balance due shall be multiplied by 130% (the “Default Provision”).

Derivative liability consisted of the following:

On March 11, 2019, PubCo issued a convertible promissory note for $500,000 to Vista Capital Investments, LLC (“Vista”) (the “Vista Note”), due October 6, 2019 (the “Maturity Date”). The Vista Note incurred a onetime interest charge of 8%, which was recorded at issuance, and was due upon payback of the Vista Note. The Vista Note included an original issue discount of $125,000, netting the balance received by PubCo from Vista at $375,000. The Vista transaction included commitment fees, which took the form of an obligation by PubCo to issue Vista 25,0000 shares and a four-year warrant to purchase 125,000 shares (the “Commitment Shares”) which are only provided in the event of default. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, as defined in the Vista Note, the conversion price shall become equal to a 65% of the lowest traded price for the Company’s common stock in the 25 consecutive trading days preceding the notice of conversion and the balance due shall be multiplied by 130% (the “Default Provision”).

Derivative financial instruments, as defined in ASC 815, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities”, consist of financial instruments or other contracts that contain a notional amount and one or more underlying (e.g. interest rate, security price or other variable), require no initial net investment and permit net settlement. Derivative financial instruments may be free-standing or embedded in other financial instruments. Further, derivative financial instruments are initially, and subsequently, measured at fair value and recorded as liabilities or, in rare instances, assets.

The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the embedded conversion option and warrants at their fair values as of the inception date of the agreement and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value is recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense for each reporting period at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification. As a result of entering into warrant agreements, for which such instruments contained a variable conversion feature with no floor, the Company has adopted a sequencing policy in accordance with ASC 815-40-35-12 whereby all future instruments may be classified as a derivative liability with the exception of instruments related to share-based compensation issued to employees or directors.

Based on ASC 815, the Company determined that the convertible debt contained embedded derivatives and valued the derivative using the Black-Scholes method. Estimating fair values of derivative financial instruments requires the development of significant and subjective estimates (such as volatility, estimated life and interest rates) that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal and external market factors. In addition, option-based techniques are highly volatile and sensitive to changes in the trading market price of our common stock, which has a high-historical volatility. Since derivative financial instruments are initially and subsequently carried at fair values, the Company’s operating results will reflect the volatility in these estimate and assumption changes.

The Company performs valuation of derivative instruments at the end of each reporting period. The fair value of derivative instruments is recorded and shown separately under current liabilities as these instruments can be converted anytime. Changes in fair value are recorded in the consolidated statement of income under other income (expenses).

The Company did not have income tax provision (benefit) due to net loss and deferred tax assets having a full valuation allowances as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

The provision for income taxes differs from the amounts computed by applying the federal statutory tax rate of 21% to earnings before income taxes, as follows:

Deferred tax assets and liabilities consist of the following tax-effected temporary differences:

The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in ASC 740. Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates. As of September 30, 2019, the Company had federal and California net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $2.4 million. The federal and California net operating loss carryforwards will expire at various dates from 2026 through 2028; however, $2.4 million of the Federal operating loss does not expire and will be carried forward indefinitely.

As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company maintained full valuation allowance for net operating loss carryforward deferred tax asset. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be reduced if estimates of future taxable income are reduced.

The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return and files tax returns in various state and local jurisdictions. The statutes of limitations for its consolidated federal income tax returns are open for years 2016 and after, and state and local income tax returns are open for years 2015 and after.

Subsequently, the Company entered into a Referral Commission Agreement with Dan in November 2018, which expired November 2019, under which Dan is to receive 10% for new business resulting from his direct introductions. To date, no new business has been generated by Dan, thus Dan has not been paid under the Referral Agreement. On or about June 18, 2019, the Company issued 160,000 restricted shares to Dan, who was one of nine employees to receive a performance bonus in stock on this day. The shares were fully vested upon issuance and worth $16,000 at closing, on the day of issuance. The Company currently pays Dan approximately $96,000 per year.

Liron Nusinovich – The Company hired Liron Nusinovich on or about July 16, 2018 as our Risk Analyst. Liron is the brother of Fredi Nisan, our CEO and Director. On or about June 18, 2019, the Company issued 110,000 restricted shares to Liron, who was one of nine employees to receive a performance bonus in stock on this day.

IPX Referral Payments, LLC – Pouya Moghavem, an employee since August 1, 2018, owns 25% of IPX Referral Payments, LLC (“IPX”). In addition to the $5,000 monthly salary we pay Moghavem, the Company entered into a Referral Agreement with IPX wherein the Company agreed to compensate IPX for referrals, which subsequently become the Company’s customer. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, IPX did not earn any commissions. Additionally, in or about October 2018, IPX provided GreenBox with a merchant trust account in Mexico through Affinitas Bank, one of the Gateways that process payment transactions on the Company’s behalf. The Company did not pay IPX for this service, however, IPX reported that Affinitas paid IPX approximately $1,830.

RB Capital – Because PrivCo agreed to sell RB Cap 4% of PrivCo in January 2018, which currently purportedly gives RB Cap a claim to approximately six million PubCo shares, RB Cap is deemed an affiliated Party. In March 2018, PrivCo issued a $300,000 convertible promissory note to RB Cap, the balance of which PubCo assumed when we acquired the GreenBox Business from PrivCo. On November 26, 2018, we issued a $200,000 convertible promissory to RB Cap. Subsequently, RB Cap and GreenBox disputed the implications of the share purchase and promissory notes. The implications of this ownership and RB Cap’s claim to PubCo shares are in dispute, which became the subject of a lawsuit with RB Cap (see Legal Matters under Subsequent Events). This was settled on February 27, 2020.

America 2030 Capital Limited and Bentley Rothschild Capital Limited – On or about July 30, 2018, Nisan and Errez, the sole officers and directors of PubCo, and the majority owners of PrivCo, each entered into a separate Master Loan Agreement (each an "MLA"): Errez with America 2030 Capital Limited (“America 2030”) and Nisan with Bentley Rothschild Capital Limited ("Bentley"), a company affiliated with America 2030, both located in Nevis, West Indies. Each MLA was for a $5,700,000 loan, at 5.85% interest, maturing in ten years. Per the MLA’s terms, Nisan and Errez caused PrivCo to transfer 1,600,000 PubCo shares, valued at $2,144,000 at close of trading on the day of issuance, as "Transferred Collateral" from the Control Block (not a new issuance by PubCo) to Bentley (although both contracts acknowledge receipt of 1.6 million shares, there was only was transference of 1.6 million shares). The transfer occurred on or about August 1, 2018. To date, there has been no funding under either of the MLAs. Subsequently, both Nisan and Errez received constitutive notice, regarding arbitration of an alleged breach of their respective MLAs. As of March 31, 2020, both parties have abandoned the matter and no further action was required by either party.

Kenneth Haller (“Haller”) became the Company’s Senior Vice President of Payment Systems in November 2018. The Company began working indirectly with Haller earlier in 2018, both individually and through our relationship with MTrac Tech Corporation (“MTrac”), which in turn has business relationships with Haller. Haller brings considerable advantages to the Company’s platform development and business development efforts and capabilities, including transactional business relations and a large network of agents, which the Company believes, are capable of processing $1 billion transactions annually (the “Haller Network”). The Haller Network is an amalgamation of the collective networks of Haller and three companies owned or majority-owned by Haller, which are Sky Financial & Intelligence, LLC (“Sky”), Charge Savvy, LLC, Cultivate, LLC (collectively, the “Haller Companies”), each of which has formalized business relationships with the Company, as well as with some of the Company’s partners, which the Company believes allows the Company to maximize and diversity the Company’s market penetration capabilities. Haller, through Sky, owns controlling interests in Charge Savvy, LLC and Cultivate, LLC, with whom we do business indirectly, through their respective business relationship with MTrac. We also do business directly with Cultivate LLC, through a three-party agreement, which includes us, MTrac and Cultivate.

For operating leases, we calculated right of use assets and lease liabilities based on the present value of the remaining lease payments as of the date of adoption using the incremental borrowing rate. The adoption of ASC 842 resulted in recording an adjustment to operating lease right of use asset and operating lease liabilities of $256,242 and $260,534, respectively, as of September 30, 2019. The difference between the operating lease ROU asset and operating lease liabilities at transition represented existing deferred rent expenses and tenant improvements, and indirect costs that was derecognized. The adoption of ASC 842 did not materially impact our results of operations, cash flows, or presentation thereof.

Overview – Organization and New Name

Organization – GreenBox POS (the “Company” or “PubCo”) was formerly known as ASAP Expo, Inc (“ASAP”), which was incorporated April 10, 2007 under the laws of the State of Nevada. On January 4, 2020, PrivCo and GreenBox POS, a Nevada corporation (“PubCo”) entered into the Agreement to memorialize the Verbal Agreement with PrivCo which was formed on August 10, 2017 (the seller). On April 12, 2018, pursuant to the Verbal Agreement, PubCo acquired PrivCo’s blockchain gateway and payment system business, point of sale system business, delivery business and kiosk business, and bank and merchant accounts, as well as all intellectual property related thereto (the “GreenBox Business”). As consideration for the GreenBox Business, on April 12, 2018, PubCo assumed PrivCo’s liabilities that had been incurred in the normal course of the GreenBox Business (collectively, the “GreenBox Acquisition”). For accounting and reporting purposes, PubCo deemed the GreenBox Acquisition a “Reverse Acquisition” with PrivCo designated the “accounting acquirer” and PubCo designated the “accounting acquiree.”

New Name – On May 3, 2018, PubCo formally changed its name to GreenBox POS LLC, then subsequently changed its name to GreenBox POS on December 13, 2018.

Management Discussion and Analysis

This MD&A section was prepared by the management of GreenBox POS (OTC: GRBX) (“GreenBox”, “GRBX”, the “Company”), in conjunction with the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 financial activities and as part of the 10-K disclosure. The intent of this section is to discuss the financial activity disclosed from the perspectives of on-going Q1/20 and plans and projections for the remainder of 2020.

Q1/20 signify the return of operations in full scale for the Company. In Q4/2019, the Company invested in research and development, improving its acquiring platform and enabling safer, faster and significantly more scalable services. These technology improvements allow for major new capabilities, including Real Time Payments (RTP), a very sought-after payment feature. This change also reduces the Company COGS. Although the Company saw a decrease in operations in Q4/2019, the improved platform is expected to perform better than its predecessor platform and increase total volumes while increasing profit margins and operating sustainability. The Company returned to ramping up commercial large-scale operations, on-boarding large number of clients, and increasing the Company operational bandwidth to accommodate the needs of its clients. Q1/2020 continues to execute on these management directives.

Management is focused on the following KPI (Key Performance Indices):

[Table 1]

In order to process the targeted ATPV goal, $1B, the Company must be able to process close to $90M/month, or $3M/day, in a consistent fashion. The Company needed to invest further in its core technologies to reach this capacity, a task now completed. The Company now has the required bandwidth and technical capabilities to achieve this goal. The Company projects it will process transactions in volumes greater than $1M/day within Q2/2020 and will ramp up the targeted Average Daily Volumes in Q4/2020. We believe the current operational bandwidth for the Company is virtually unlimited.

[Table 2]

Based on the above and the current traction in Q1/20, the Company is comfortable projecting approximately $18-20M EBITDA in FY20. 

The Company owns all the IP rights for operations in its space: tokenizer, gateway, ledger manager and blockchain substrate. Other, supporting patents, such as fraud proofing, on-boarding accelerators, and an all new blockchain implementation, are pending.

With the visibility into the Company’s operation management has at the end of Q1/2020 the Company plans on uplisting to a senior exchange by Q1 of FY21 and does not plan on an artificial stock price increase, such as a reverse split. The current plan is to grow the company organically to the size and value required by the exchange.

The ATPV, Profitability and other major KPIs remain sensitive to regulatory changes global and national economic trends. These will impact and influence the Company’s product line, its potential mergers and acquisitions targets, its joint ventures and the Company’s technology emphasis.
