RYVYL, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.

Description of the Business and Basis of Presentation

 

Organization

 

RYVYL Inc. is a financial technology company that develops, markets, and sells innovative blockchain-based payment solutions, which we believe offer significant improvements for 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 ASAP Expo, Inc (“ASAP”), and was incorporated in the state of Nevada on April 10, 2007. 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 (the Seller). On April 12, 2018, pursuant to the Verbal Agreement, the Company acquired PrivCo’s blockchain gateway and payment system business, point of sale system business, delivery business and kiosk business, 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, the Company assumed PrivCo’s liabilities that had been incurred in the normal course of the GreenBox Business.

 

On May 3, 2018, the Company formally changed its name to GreenBox POS. LLC, then subsequently changed its name to GreenBox POS on December 13, 2018. On October 13, 2022, GreenBox POS changed its name to RYVYL Inc.

 

On May 21, 2021, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Northeast Merchant Systems, Inc. (“Northeast”) in a transaction treated as a business combination. Northeast is a merchant services company providing merchant credit card processing through its own Bank Identification Number (BIN) with the acquiring bank Merrick. This involves inside operations for new merchants that include sales assistance and applications processing, underwriting, and onboarding; inside operations for existing merchants include risk monitoring and customer service. Outside operations include: equipment service or replacement; sales calls and applications, site inspections and identity verification; security verification; and on-site customer service and technical support.

 

On July 13, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into and closed on a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Charge Savvy LLC, an Illinois limited liability company (“Charge Savvy”), and Charge Savvy’s three members (collectively, the “Sellers”). One of the Sellers, Ken Haller, was an employee of the Company on the Closing Date. As a result of the Purchase Agreement, the Company purchased all of Charge Savvy’s issued and outstanding membership interests from the Sellers and Charge Savvy became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Although the Purchase Agreement is dated July 9, 2021, it was entered into and closed on July 13, 2021. The consideration for the all-stock transaction consisted of 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) being issued and delivered to Sellers in proportion to the Sellers’ share of their membership interests in Charge Savvy. The share price at issuance was $12.14. Charge Savvy is a Fintech company specializing in developing software and providing payment processing and point-of-sale services to the merchant services industry. Charge Savvy also owns a 64,000 square foot office building in Chicago, Illinois, where it is headquartered.

 

On March 31, 2022, the Company closed a transaction to acquire a portfolio of merchant accounts from Sky Financial & Intelligence for $18.1 million. The Company paid $16.0 million in cash in March 2022 and issued 500,000 shares of restricted common stock for the transaction in May 2022.

 

On April 1, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of Transact Europe Holdings OOD. Transact Europe EAD (TEU) is an EU regulated electronic money institution headquartered in Sofia Bulgaria. TEU is a Principal Level Member of Visa, a Worldwide Member of MasterCard, and a Principal Member of China UnionPay. In addition, TEU is part of the direct SEPA program. With a global footprint, proprietary payment gateway, and technology platforms, TEU offers a comprehensive portfolio of services and decades of industry experience. TEU provides complete payment solutions by offering acquiring, issuing of prepaid cards and agent banking, serving hundreds of clients. The Company paid $28.8 million (€26.0 million) in total consideration for the purchase.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

 

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

 

 

RYVYL, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

 

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual audited financial statements and accompanying notes have been condensed or omitted in this accompanying interim consolidated financial statements and footnotes. Accordingly, the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

 

2.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The results of operations presented in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for any future periods. In the opinion of management, these unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments and accruals, consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments that are necessary for a fair statement of the results of all interim periods reported herein.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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.

 

Reclassifications

 

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 equivalents and restricted cash represents the following:

 

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, cash on deposit with banks, and highly liquid debt investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased.

 

Restricted cash – The Company’s technology enables transactional blockchain ledger to instantly reflect all transactions details. The final cash settlement of each transaction is subject to the gateway policies. This final disposition takes days to weeks to complete in accordance with these policies. Each policy is an integral part of the transactional contracts between the Company, its Independent Sales Organizations (ISOs), its agents, and the merchant clients. While the ledger reflects a held balance for the merchant, in reserve or payment in arears, the Company holds funds in a trust account as cash deemed restricted. The Company’s records reflect such restricted cash as a restricted cash and trust accounts, and the balances due to merchants and ISOs as settlement liabilities.

 

Cash Due from Gateways and Payment Processing Liabilities

 

The Company’s primary source of revenues consists of payment processing services for its merchant clients. When a 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 collects fees.

 

In the first quarter of 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022, 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, among other things, return and chargeback history, associated risks for specific business verticals, and average transaction amounts. To mitigate processing risks, these policies determine reserve requirements and payment-in-arrears strategies. While reserve and payment-in-arrears restrictions are in effect for a merchant payout, the Company records receivables from the gateways against these amounts until released.

 

Cash due from gateways balances presented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets represent the amount due to the Company for transactions processed wherein the funds have not been distributed.

Research and Development Costs

 

Research and development costs, which are expensed as incurred, are primarily comprised of costs and expenses for salaries and benefits of research and development personnel, outsourced contract services, and supplies and materials.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised goods or services to the Company’s customers or when the Company satisfies any performance obligations under contract. The amount of revenue represents consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for the respective goods or services provided. Under Accounting Standards Codification 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, (“ASC 606”), contract assets or contract liabilities that arise from past performance but require a further performance before the obligation can be fully satisfied must be identified and recorded on the balance sheet until respective settlements have been met.

 

The Company’s primary revenue source is generated from payment processing services. Payment processing services revenue is based on a percentage of each transaction’s value and/or upon fixed amounts specified per each transaction or service and is recognized as such transactions or services are performed, at a point in time.

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses

 

The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses for estimated losses from the inability of gateways to make required payments. The allowance for credit losses is evaluated periodically based on the aging of accounts receivable, the operational relationship with gateways and their payment history, historical charge-off experience and other assumptions, such as current assessment of economic conditions.

 

Prepaid Expenses

 

Prepaid expenses primarily consist of deposits made with credit card companies under Transact Europe Holdings OOD and the prepayment associated with other acquisitions.

 

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 recognized in the period the transaction occurs.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company assesses the fair value of financial instruments based on the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

 

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

 

Level 1- Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2- Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3- Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

 

RYVYL, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The following table describes the valuation techniques used to calculate the fair value for assets in Level 3. The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s identifiable intangible assets is the discount rate. The change in this input could result in a change of fair value measurement (dollars in thousands):

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

 

The Company accounts for acquisitions of businesses in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting which requires assets and liabilities to be recognized at their fair values on the acquisition date. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of acquired businesses over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Goodwill and other intangible assets acquired in a business combination determined to have an indefinite useful life are generally not amortized, but instead are tested for impairment at least annually and more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the asset’s fair value.

 

Other intangible assets with estimable useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever management believes that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. To the extent that the carrying value is determined to be unrecoverable, an impairment loss is recognized through a charge to expense. As of December 31, 2022, other than a charge off of the entire consideration paid in connection with the contracted acquisition of the Sky Financial portfolio, the Company performed an impairment analysis on the other acquired goodwill and other long-lived assets and concluded that their values are supportable and recoverable.

 

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 the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Judgment is required in determining and evaluating income tax provisions and valuation allowances for deferred income tax assets. We recognize an income tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position.

 

Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities. As of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, we have valuation allowances which serve to reduce net deferred tax assets.

Earnings Per Share

 

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the periods presented. Dilutive earnings per share includes the effect of any potentially dilutive debt or equity under the treasury stock method, if including such instruments is dilutive. The Company’s diluted loss per share is the same as the basic loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2022, and three-month periods ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, since there are no potential shares outstanding that would have a dilutive effect.

 

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 net 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 statements of operations and statements of changes in 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 net present value of the remaining lease payments as of the adoption date using our incremental borrowing rate as of that date.

 

Segment Reporting

 

The Company has organized its operations into two segments: North America and International. These segments reflect the way management evaluates its business performance and manages its operations.

 

Our chief operating decision maker is our chief executive officer. Management has determined that the operational data used by our chief operating decision maker is that of the two reportable segments. Management bases strategic goals and decisions on these segments.

 

Management evaluates the performance of its segments and allocates resources based on operating income or (loss) as compared to prior periods and current performance levels.

 

Recent Accounting Standard Adopted

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses”. The standard, including subsequently issued amendments (ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04, ASU 2019-05, ASU 2019-10 and ASU 2019-11), requires a financial asset measured at amortized cost basis, such as accounts receivable and certain other financial assets, to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10 to postpone the effective date of ASU No. 2016-13 for public business entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies defined by the SEC to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has adopted this accounting standard, effective January 1, 2023. Management assessed the adoption of this standard on the effective date and concluded that the adoption did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows during the period ended March 31, 2023.

 

Recent Accounting Standards and Guidance Not Adopted

 

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers,” which requires contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured by the acquirer on the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” as if the acquirer had originated the contracts. ASU 2021-08 is effective for fiscal years and interim reporting periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company has not acquired any businesses during the effective period and, accordingly, is currently evaluating the effect, if any, the adoption of this guidance will have on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and disclosures.

 

 

RYVYL, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The FASB issued ASU 2020-06 (“Update”) to simplify the accounting for convertible instruments by eliminating large sections of the existing guidance in this area. It also eliminates several triggers for derivative accounting, including a requirement to settle certain contracts by delivering registered shares. These changes are intended to make GAAP easier to apply and, therefore, reduce the frequency of errors in this part of the literature. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. For SEC filers, excluding smaller reporting companies, this Update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, this Update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods therein. The Company is evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

Restatements of Previously-Issued Consolidated Financial Statements

 

During the preparation of its 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company determined that it had not appropriately accounted for certain historical transactions under US GAAP. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 99, Materiality, and SAB 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, the Company evaluated the materiality of the errors from qualitative and quantitative perspectives, individually and in aggregate, and concluded that the errors were material to the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the quarters ending March 31, 2021, June 30, 2021, September 30, 2021, March 31, 2022, June 30, 2022, and September 30, 2022, and for the annual period ending December 31, 2021. Based on this evaluation, on January 13, 2023, the Audit Committee, with the concurrence of management, concluded that the Company’s previously issued consolidated financial statements for the aforementioned periods would need to be restated and could no longer be relied upon. The Company has restated the impacted financial statements for each of these periods and presented the effects of the restatement adjustments in its 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on April 17, 2023.

Acquisitions

 

On April 1, 2022, the Company acquired Transact Europe Holdings for $28.8 million (€26.0 million) in cash. Transact Europe EAD (TEU), an EU regulated electronic money institution headquartered in Sofia, Bulgaria, offers an array of licenses such as principal level membership of Visa, worldwide membership of MasterCard, and principal membership of China UnionPay. TEU is also part of the direct SEPA (Single Euro Payments Area), a payment system enabling cashless payments across continental Europe. The Company paid $28.8 million as of March 31, 2022, and the transaction closed on April 1, 2022. As a result, the consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2022, does not include financial statements of TEU. The $28.8 million paid as of March 31, 2022, is included as prepaid and other current assets in the balance sheets.

 

The following summarizes the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired which is recorded as of April 1, 2022 (dollars in thousands):

On March 31, 2022, the Company contracted to acquire a portfolio of merchant accounts from Sky Financial & Intelligence for $18.1 million. The Company paid $16.0 million in cash in March 2022 issued 500,000 shares of restricted common stock for the transaction on May 12, 2022. The entire amount tendered in both cash and stock was recorded as a Customer Relationships asset.

 

However, as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had not received delivery of the acquired merchant list and the associated ISO management portal access and as a result the Company charged off the entire purchase price in 2022. Also, during 2022, the Company suspended its reporting of revenue from the Sky Financial portfolio.

 

The Company is vigorously pursuing its entitlements under the purchase agreement.

Settlement Processing

 

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. In summary, 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, The Company uses proprietary, private ledger technology to verify every transaction conducted within the Company ecosystem. The verification of transaction data comes from trusted partners, all of whom have been extensively vetted by us. The Company 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 or 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 or 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 Due From Gateways, net – a Current Asset. Of these funds, we record the balance due to Merchants and ISOs as Payment Processing Liabilities, net – a Current Liability.

Derivative liability

 

The Notes contain embedded derivatives representing the conversion features, redemption rights, and certain events of default. The Company determined that these embedded derivatives required bifurcation and separate valuation.

 

The Company utilizes a binomial lattice model to value its bifurcated derivatives included in the Notes. ASC 815 does not permit an issuer to account separately for individual derivative terms and features embedded in hybrid financial instruments that require bifurcation and liability classification as derivative financial instruments. Rather, such terms and features must be combined together, and fair-valued as a single, compound embedded derivative. The Company selected a binomial lattice model to value the compound embedded derivative because it believes this technique is reflective of all significant assumptions that market participants would likely consider in negotiating the transfer of the Notes. Such assumptions include, among other inputs, stock price volatility, risk-free rates, credit risk assumptions, early redemption and conversion assumptions, and the potential for future adjustment of the conversion price due to triggering events. Additionally, there are other embedded features of the Notes requiring bifurcation, other than the conversion features, which had no value at December 31, 2020 due to management’s estimates of the likelihood of certain events, but that may have value in the future should those estimates change.

Unless earlier converted, or redeemed, the Note, as amended, will mature on November 5, 2024, the third anniversary of their issuance date, which we refer to herein as the “Maturity Date”, subject to the right of the investors to extend the date:

 

 

i.

ii.

(ii) for a period of 20 business days after the consummation of a fundamental transaction if certain events occur.

 

We are required to pay, on the Maturity Date, all outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest and accrued and unpaid late charges on such principal and interest, if any.

If a holder elects to convert or redeem all or any portion of a Note prior to the Maturity Date, all accrued and unpaid interest on the amount being converted or redeemed will also be payable. If we elect to redeem all or any portion of a Note prior to the Maturity Date, all accrued and unpaid interest on the amount being redeemed will also be payable.

a)

the Investor agreed to extend the “90 Day Eligibility Date” from February 3, 2022 to May 2, 2022 such that the Investor can no longer, if the closing price of the stock is less than $5.50, convert up to $30 million of the Note into shares of the Company’s common stock (with the conversion price being the lower of (i) the then in effect conversion price and (ii) the greater of (x) the Note’s $1.67 floor price or (y) 98% of the market price on the conversion date) (the “Alternate Optional Conversion Price”) prior to May 2, 2022;

 

 

b)

allows us to acquire, for cancellation, $6 million in in aggregate principal amount of the Note for a purchase price of $6.9 million such that the new principal amount of the Note is $94 million;

 

 

c)

lowers the initial fixed conversion price of the Note from $15 to $12; and

if the trading volume of our common stock on any individual trading day is over $5 million (the “Alternate Conversion Company Waiver Measuring Date”), allows the Investor an opportunity to convert up to $5 million of the Note into shares of our common stock from the Alternate Conversion Company Waiver Measuring Date through and including 7:00 PM ET on the immediately following trading day. The conversion price would be the lower of (i) the then in effect conversion price and (ii) the greater of (x) the Note’s $1.67 floor price or (y) 98% of the market price on the conversion date.

 

The Company paid the investor $6.0 million, $5.0 million and $3.6 million in principal in the first three quarters of 2022, respectively, consisting of $12.2 million in cash and $2.4 million in interest, consisting of shares of company stock.

 

The foregoing description of the Waiver does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Waiver, executed on January 28, 2022, and reported on Form 8-K on January 31, 2022.

 

1- Year Alternate Optional Conversion

 

At any time following the first anniversary of the issuance date of the Note, but only if the closing bid price of our common stock on the immediately prior trading day is less than $6.50, each holder of the Note shall have the option to convert, at such holder’s option, pro rata, up to $30 million of the principal amount of the Note (in $250,000 increments) at the Alternate Optional Conversion Price.

 

Alternate Event of Default Optional Conversion

 

If an event of default has occurred under the Note, each holder may alternatively elect to convert the Note (subject to an additional 15% redemption premium) at the “Alternate Event of Default Conversion Price” equal to the lesser of:

 

The fixed conversion price then in effect; and the greater of:

 

 

i.

the floor price; and

 

 

ii.

80% of the lowest volume weighted average price of our common stock during the five trading days immediately prior to such conversion.

Change of Control Redemption Right

 

In connection with a change of control of the Company, each holder may require us to redeem in cash all, or any portion, of the Notes at a 15% redemption premium to the greater of the face value, the equity value of our common stock underlying the Notes and the equity value of the change of control consideration payable to the holder of our common stock underlying the Notes.

 

The equity value of our common stock underlying the Notes is calculated using the greatest closing sale price of our common stock during the period immediately preceding the consummation or the public announcement of the change of control and ending the date the holder gives notice of such redemption.

 

The equity value of the change of control consideration payable to the holder of our common stock underlying the Notes is calculated using the aggregate cash consideration per share of our common stock to be paid to the holders of our common stock upon the change of control.

 

Events of Default

 

Under the terms of the first supplemental indenture, the events of default contained in the base indenture shall not apply to the Notes. Rather, the Notes contain standard and customary events of default including but not limited: (i) the suspension from trading or the failure to list our common stock within certain time periods; (ii) failure to make payments when due under the Notes; and (iii) bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company.

 

If an event of default occurs, each holder may require us to redeem all or any portion of the Notes (including all accrued and unpaid interest and late charges thereon), in cash, at a 15% redemption premium to the greater of the face value and the equity value of our common stock underlying the Notes.

 

The equity value of our common stock underlying the Notes is calculated using the greatest closing sale price of our common stock on any trading day immediately preceding such event of default and the date we make the entire payment required.

 

Company Optional Redemption Rights

 

At any time, if no event of default exits, we may redeem all, but not less than all, the Notes outstanding in cash all, or any portion, of the Notes at a 5% redemption premium to the greater of the face value and the equity value of our common stock underlying the Notes.

 

The equity value of the Company’s common stock underlying the Notes is calculated using the greatest closing sale price of our common stock on any trading day during the period commencing on the date immediately preceding such date we notify the applicable holder of such redemption election and the date we make the entire payment required.

 

The foregoing description of the Note does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Note, a copy of which is included hereto as Exhibit 4.3 and incorporated herein by reference.

12. Related Party Transactions

 

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 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 (the “Haller Network”). The Haller Network is an amalgamation of the collective networks of Haller and two companies owned or majority-owned by Haller, which are or have been Sky Financial & Intelligence, LLC (“Sky”), and Charge Savvy, 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 with whom the Company does business through their respective business relationship with MTrac.

 

The following are certain transactions between the Company and the Haller Companies:

 

Sky Financial & Intelligence, LLC – Haller owns 100% of Sky Financial & Intelligence LLC (“Sky”), a Wyoming limited liability company, and serves as its sole Managing Member. Sky is a strategic merchant services company that focuses on high-risk merchants and international credit card processing solutions. In 2018, Sky was using GreenBox’s QuickCard payment system as its main payment processing infrastructure, through Sky’s relationship with MTrac. It was through this successful relationship, that we came to know Haller and the Haller Network. Realizing that the Haller Network and Haller’s unique skill set was highly complementary to our business objectives, we commenced discussions to retain Haller through his consulting firm, Sky, for a senior role, directly responsible for growing GreenBox’s operations. Subsequently, in November 2018, Haller was appointed as our Senior Vice President of Payment Systems, for a monthly consulting fee of $10,000, paid to Sky (“Haller Consulting Fee”). The Company did not pay any commissions to the related parties mentioned above for the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021. Mr. Haller left the Company in March 2022.

 

 

RYVYL, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Charge Savvy, LLC – Sky owns 68.4% of Charge Savvy, LLC (“Charge Savvy”), an Illinois limited liability company. Haller serves as one of three Managing Members of Charge Savvy, along with Higher Ground Capital, LLC (owns 14%), and Jeff Nickel (owns 17.4%). As a result of the Purchase Agreement, the Company purchased all of Charge Savvy’s issued and outstanding membership interests and Charge Savvy became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The purchase price under the Purchase Agreement for the all-stock transaction consisted of 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock being issued and delivered to the Sellers in proportion to the Sellers’ share of their membership interests in Charge Savvy. The share price at issuance was $12.14.

 

PrivCo

 

The Company repurchased, in two separate repurchase transactions each consisting of 1 million shares of common stock, an aggregate of 2 million shares owned by PrivCo (an entity controlled by Messrs. Errez and Nisan). In October 2022, the Board unanimously ratified these two repurchase transactions between the Company and PrivCo. The Company repurchased 1,000,000 shares for a price per share of $5.59 (for total proceeds to PrivCo of $5.6 million) (the “First Repurchase”) and 1,000,000 shares for a price per share of $0.82 (for total proceeds to PrivCo of $820,000) (the “Second Repurchase”). The First Repurchase was based on the closing price of the common stock on November 24, 2021, and took place over a number of months starting in February 2022 and ending in October 2022. The Second Repurchase was based on the closing price of the common stock on July 29, 2022, and took place in October 2022. The purpose of each of these transactions was to allow the Company to issue shares to new shareholders without increasing the Company’s shares outstanding.

 

Family Relationships

 

The Company employs two of our CEO’s brothers, Dan and Liron Nusonivich, who are paid approximately $200,000 and $110,000 per year, respectively. There are no family relationships between any of the other directors or executive officers and any other employees or directors or executive officers.

 

The Company did not pay any commissions to the related parties mentioned above for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, March 31, 2022, or the year ended December 31, 2022.

 

13. Commitments and Contingencies

 

From time-to-time, the Company is involved in a number of legal proceedings. The Company records a liability for those legal proceedings when it determines it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company also discloses when it is reasonably possible that a material loss may be incurred however, the amount cannot be reasonably estimated. From time to time, the Company may enter into discussions regarding settlement of these matters, and may enter into settlement agreements, if it believes settlement is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders.

The Company submitted a request for change of control with the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) but chose to withdraw the change of control application due to unforeseen complication on the part of the Roark Holdings, Ltd in March 2023. The FCA has granted the Company a relief period until December 31, 2023 to maintain compliance status. The Company expects to retrieve the payment already made to the seller and will seek other means to comply with the UK processing regulations.

 

 

RYVYL entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 6, 2023 (the “Agreement”) with Ang Woon Han, pursuant to which, among other things, the Company purchased 98 million shares of restricted common stock of Logicquest Technology, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Logicquest”) representing ownership of 97.7% of Logicquest, 48 shares of Series C Convertible Non-Redeemable Preferred Stock of Logicquest and 10 shares of Series D Convertible Non-Redeemable Preferred Stock of Logicquest, in exchange for an aggregate purchase price of $225,000.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS

 

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Certain information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and other materials we have filed or may filed, as well as information included in our oral or written statements, contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. These statements are often identified by the use of words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “project,” “will,” “would” or the negative or plural of these words or similar expressions or variations. Such forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that could cause actual results and the timing of certain events to differ materially from future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those identified herein and in our other SEC filings. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events.

 

You should not place undue reliance on forward looking statements. The cautionary statements set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q identify important matters or factors which you should consider in evaluating our forward-looking statements. These matters or factors include, among other things:

 

 

Our ability to effectively execute our business plan;

     
 

Our ability to manage our expansion, growth and operating expenses both domestically and internationally;

     
 

Our ability to comply with new regulations and compliance requirements that affect our business;

Various risks related to health epidemics, pandemics and similar outbreaks, such as the coronavirus disease 2019 ("COVID-19”) pandemic, which may have material adverse effects on our business, financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows;

     
 

Risks related to the blockchain and cryptocurrency industry or changes in the regulatory environment and turmoil in the banking sector with respect to digital asset management; and

     
 

Risks related to our dependence on our proprietary technology which we may not be able to protect.

 

The foregoing list of important factors does not include all such factors, nor necessarily present them in order of importance. In addition, you should consult other disclosures made by the Company (such as in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or in our press releases) for other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those projected by the Company. For additional information regarding risk factors that could affect the Company’s results, see “Risk Factors” beginning on page 13 of the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on April 17, 2023, and as may be included from time-to-time in our reports filed with the SEC.

 

The Company intends the forward-looking statements to speak only as of the time of such statements and does not undertake or plan to update or revise such forward-looking statements as more information becomes available or to reflect changes in expectations, assumptions or results. The Company can give no assurance that such expectations or forward-looking statements will prove to be correct. An occurrence of, or any material adverse change in, one or more of the risk factors or risks and uncertainties referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, could materially and adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity, and our future performance.

 

 

In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, unless the context otherwise requires, all references to “the Company,” “we,” “our”, “us” and “PubCo” refer to RYVYL Inc (formerly known as GreenBox POS Inc.), a Nevada corporation.

 

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.

 

Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations contains not only statements that are historical facts, but also statements that are forward-looking. Forward-looking statements are, by their very nature, uncertain and risky. These risks and uncertainties include international, national and local general economic and market conditions; demographic changes; our ability to sustain, manage, or forecast growth; our ability to successfully make and integrate acquisitions; raw material costs and availability; new product development and introduction; existing government regulations and changes in, or the failure to comply with, government regulations; adverse publicity; competition; the loss of significant customers or suppliers; fluctuations and difficulty in forecasting operating results; changes in business strategy or development plans; business disruptions; the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; the ability to protect technology; and other risks that might be detailed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Although the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report reflect the good faith judgment of our management, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known by them. Consequently, and because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, the actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in the forward-looking statements. You are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this report and in our other reports as we attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations and prospects.

 

Overview Organization and Name Changes

 

RYVYL Inc. is a financial technology company that develops, markets, and sells innovative blockchain-based payment solutions, which we believe offer significant improvements for 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 ASAP Expo, Inc (“ASAP”), and was incorporated in the state of Nevada on April 10, 2007. 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 (the Seller). On April 12, 2018, pursuant to the Verbal Agreement, the Company acquired PrivCo’s blockchain gateway and payment system business, point of sale system business, delivery business and kiosk business, 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, the Company assumed PrivCo’s liabilities that had been incurred in the normal course of the GreenBox Business.

 

On May 3, 2018, the Company formally changed its name to GreenBox POS LLC, then subsequently changed its name to GreenBox POS on December 13, 2018. On October 13, 2022, GreenBox POS changes its name to RYVYL Inc.

 

On March 31, 2022, the Company contracted to acquire a portfolio of merchant accounts from Sky Financial & Intelligence for $18.1 million. The Company paid $16.0 million in cash in March 2022 issued 500,000 shares of restricted common stock for the transaction on May 12, 2022. The entire amount tendered in both cash and stock was recorded as a Customer Relationships asset.

 

However, as of December 31, 2022, the Company had not received the delivery of the acquired merchant list and the associated ISO management portal access and as a result the Company charged off the entire purchase price in 2022. Also, during 2022, the Company suspended its reporting of revenue from the Sky Financial portfolio.

 

On April 1, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of Transact Europe Holdings OOD. Transact Europe EAD (TEU) is an EU regulated electronic money institution headquartered in Sofia Bulgaria. TEU is a Principal Level Member of Visa, a Worldwide Member of MasterCard, and a Principal Member of China UnionPay. In addition, TEU is part of the direct SEPA program. With a global footprint, proprietary payment gateway, and technology platforms, TEU offers a comprehensive portfolio of services and decades of industry experience. TEU provides complete payment solutions by offering acquiring, issuing of prepaid cards and agent banking, serving hundreds of clients. The Company paid approximately $28.8 million (€26.0 million) in total consideration for the purchase.

Revenue

 

Revenue increased by $7.1 million, or 169%, to $11.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, from $4.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The change in net revenue was primarily attributable to an increase in processing volume in the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022, and an increase in revenues from our acquired businesses including Charge Savvy, RYVYL EU and American Samoa.

 

Cost of Revenue

 

Cost of revenue increased by $3.4 million, or 121%, to $6.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, from $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Payment processing consists of various processing fees paid to Gateways, as well as commission payments to the Independent Sales Organizations (“ISO”) responsible for establishing and maintaining merchant relationships, from which the processing transactions ensue. Cost of revenues increased due primarily to increased volume, resulting in higher processing fees paid to Gateways, commission payments to ISOs, and cost of revenue of acquired businesses in the US and EU.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses increased by $0.3 million, or 3.4%, to $8.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, from $8.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was due primarily to higher payroll and payroll tax expenses and external professional expenses for legal and accounting services for the financial restatement and 2022 annual reporting plus legal proceedings for the three months ended March 31, 2023, offset by decreases in general and administrative, advertising and marketing, stock-based compensation expenses.

 

 

Other Income (Expense)

 

Other expense decreased by $18.0 million, or 81.0%, to $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, from $22.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Changes in the fair value of derivative liability amounted to a charge of $7.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and a credit of $168,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2023. Interest expense decreased by $5.0 million, primarily related to the $100 million convertible note issued in November 2021. Additionally, we incurred a charge of $4.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022, related to a loss on a partial extinguishment and conversion of debt.

 

Provision for Income Taxes

 

We estimate our annual effective income tax rate to be (0.06)% for calendar 2023, which is different from the U.S. federal statutory rate, primarily due to its full valuation position. The Company recorded approximately $5,000 and $1,000 of tax expense as of March 31, 2023 and 2021, respectively. As of March 31, 2023, we have no material unrecognized tax benefits. And we expect no material unrecognized tax benefits for the next 12 months.

 

Adjusted EBITDA

 

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that represents our net loss before interest expense, amortization of debt discount, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expense and legal costs and settlement fees incurred in connection with non-ordinary course litigation and other disputes.

 

We exclude these items in calculating Adjusted EBITDA because we believe that the exclusion of these items will provide for more meaningful information about our financial performance, and do not consider the excluded items to be part of our ongoing results of operations.

 

Our use of Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our financial results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are: (a) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements; (b) Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; (c) Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the potentially dilutive impact of equity-based compensation; (d) Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us; and (e) other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA or similarly titled measures differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.

 

Because of these and other limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA alongside our other GAAP-based financial performance measures, net income (loss) and our other GAAP financial results. The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA from net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, for the periods indicated:

Non-GAAP Measures

 

GAAP requires that operating expenses include the amortization of acquired intangible assets, which principally include acquired customer relationships and developed technology. We exclude amortization of intangibles from Adjusted EBITDA because we do not consider amortization expense when we evaluate our ongoing business operations, nor do we factor amortization expense into our evaluation of potential acquisitions, or our measurement of the performance of those acquisitions. We believe that the exclusion of amortization expense enables the comparison of our performance to other companies in our industry as other companies may be more or less acquisitive than us and therefore, amortization expense may vary significantly by company based on their acquisition history. Although we exclude amortization of acquired intangible assets from Adjusted EBITDA, management believes that it is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets were recorded as part of purchase accounting and contribute to revenue generation.

 

We record depreciation primarily for investments in property and equipment. We exclude depreciation in calculating Adjusted EBITDA because we do not consider depreciation when we evaluate our ongoing business operations.

 

We exclude stock-based compensation expense and other forms of equity incentives primarily awarded to employees because they are non-cash charges that we do not consider when assessing the operating performance of our business. Additionally, the determination of stock-based compensation expense can be calculated using various methodologies and is dependent upon subjective assumptions and other factors that vary on a company-by-company basis. Therefore, we believe that excluding stock-based compensation expense from Adjusted EBITDA improves the comparability of our results to the results of other companies in our industry.

 

Included in operating expenses are incremental costs directly related to business and asset acquisitions as well as changes in the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities, when applicable. We exclude acquisition-related expense from Adjusted EBITDA because we believe that the exclusion of this expense allows us to better provide meaningful information about our operating performance, facilitates comparisons to our historical operating results, improves the comparability of our results to the results of other companies in our industry, and ultimately, we believe helps investors better understand the acquisition-related expense and the effects of the transaction on our results of operations.

 

We exclude non-ordinary course litigation expense because we do not consider legal costs and settlement fees incurred in litigation and litigation-related matters of non-ordinary course lawsuits and other disputes to be indicative of our core operating performance. We do not adjust for ordinary course legal expenses.

 

Adjusted EBITDA is a key measure that our management uses to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends to generate future operating plans, to make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital, and to make investments in initiatives that are focused on cultivating new markets for our solutions. In particular, the exclusion of certain expenses in calculating Adjusted EBITDA facilitates comparisons of our operating performance on a period-to-period basis and, in the case of exclusion of acquisition-related adjustments and certain historical legal expenses, excludes items that we do not consider to be indicative of our core operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our primary sources of liquidity have historically been derived from raising capital by issuing debt or common stock. Our cash flow from operations is not yet able to cover our cash needs. We believe our current cash balances will be sufficient to cover our operating needs for the next twelve months. Our $94 million convertible note matures in November 2024. There are covenants associated with the note that accelerates the conversion of tranches of the note should certain targets be met.

 

We may, in the future, seek to raise additional capital to fund growth, operations and other business activities, but such additional capital may not be available to us on acceptable terms, on a timely basis, or at all.

 

 

The following table summarizes our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities (unaudited):

Operating Activities – For the three months ended March 30, 2023 and 2022, net cash provided by (used in) operating activities was $16.4 million and ($14.5) million, respectively. The cash used in operating activities was primarily due to net loss and timing of settlement of assets and liabilities including stock compensation expenses.

 

Investing Activities – Net cash used in investing activities in the period ended March 31, 2022 primarily consisted of the acquisition of Transact Euro and Sky Financials. Investing activities in the period ended March 31, 2023 were negligible. 

 

Financing Activities – Net cash used by financing activities primarily consisted of repurchases of common stock under treasury method of $3.5 million and repayment of convertible debt of $6,000,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. There were no financing activities in the period ended March 31, 2023.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

Management strives to report our financial results in a clear and understandable manner, although in some cases accounting and disclosure rules and principles are complex and require us to use technical terminology. In preparing the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements, we follow accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. These principles require us to make certain estimates and apply judgments that affect our financial position and results of operations as reflected in our financial statements. These judgments and estimates are based on past events and expectations of future outcomes. The amounts of assets and liabilities reported on our balance sheet and the amounts of revenues and expenses reported for each of our fiscal periods are affected by estimates and assumptions, which are used for, but not limited to among other things, the accounting for revenue recognition, stock-based compensation and the valuation of deferred taxes. Actual results may differ from our estimates. Management continually reviews our accounting policies including how they are applied and how they are reported and disclosed in our financial statements. Below is a summary of our critical accounting estimates and how they are applied in preparation of the financial statements.

 

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.

 

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.

 

 

Payment processing revenue is based on a percentage of each transaction’s value and/or upon fixed amounts specified per each transaction or service and is recognized as such transactions or services are performed.

 

 

Licensing revenue is paid in advance and is recorded as unearned income, which is amortized over the period of the licensing agreement.

 

 

Equipment sales revenue is generated from the sale of POS products, which is recognized when goods are shipped. Revenue recognized from the sale of equipment was not material.

 

 

Cash Due from Gateways and Payment Processing Liabilities

 

The Company’s primary source of revenues consists of payment processing services for its merchant clients. When a 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 collects fees.

 

In 2023 and 2022 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, among other things, return and chargeback history, associated risks for specific business verticals, and average transaction amounts. To mitigate processing risks, these policies determine reserve requirements and payment-in-arrears strategies. While reserve and payment-in-arrears restrictions are in effect for a merchant payout, the Company records gateway debt against these amounts until released.

 

Cash due from gateways balances presented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets represent amounts due to the Company for transactions processed wherein the funds have not been distributed.

 

ITEM 4. 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) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer has concluded that, as of December 31, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal accounting officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

In connection the financial statement restatements as discussed elsewhere in this report, the Company has reassessed its conclusions regarding the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, and has determined that one or more material weaknesses exist in the Company’s internal control including a material weakness related to accounting for certain complex business transactions. The Company has engaged, as of August 2022, third party technical accounting experts to support proper accounting for complex accounting transactions. As a result of the material weakness, the Company’s management concluded its disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2023, December 31, 2022, and September 30, June 30, and March 31, 2022.

 

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

 

The Company has implemented enhanced reconciliation reviews and reporting of its payment processing activities including gross volumes, fees assessment and return items in 2022 because of the restatement efforts. There have been no other material changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act or in other factors that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls and procedures over financial reporting during the first quarter of the year ending December 31, 2023.
