1.	Description of the Business and Basis of Presentation

Organization

RYVYL Inc (the “Company”) is a financial technology company that develops, markets, and sells innovative blockchain-based payment solutions, which offer significant improvements for the payment solutions marketplace. The Company’s core focus is developing and monetizing 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 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”) On April 12, 2018, the Company acquired PrivCo’s blockchain gateway and payment system business, point of sale system business, delivery business, 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 were 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.

On July 13, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into and closed on a Membership Interest 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. The consideration consisted of 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share 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. 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 owns the 64,000 square foot office building in Chicago, Illinois, where it is headquartered.

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 Single Euro Payments Area (“SEPA”) program. With a global footprint, proprietary payment gateway, and technology platforms, TEU offers a comprehensive portfolio of services and decades of industry experience. The Company paid $28.8 million (€26.0 million) in total consideration for the purchase.

Please refer to Note 15 entitled “Subsequent Events.”

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.

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/A for the year ended December 31, 2022.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 an original maturity of three months or less.

● Restricted cash – The Company’s technology enables transactional blockchain ledger to instantly reflect all transaction 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 arrears, the Company holds funds in a trust account as cash deemed restricted. The Company’s records reflect such restricted cash as 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.

The Company utilized several gateways during the six-months ended June 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022. These gateways have strict guidelines pertaining to scheduling of the release of funds to merchants which are based on several criteria, such as, and among other things, return and chargeback history, associated risks for specific business verticals, and average transaction size. 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

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 (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, 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.

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):

	Fair Value at
	June 30, 2023

Customer relationships	$	4,683
Business intellectual properties		1,615

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.

Under the guidance of ASC 350, goodwill is not amortized, rather it is tested for impairment annually, and will be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate the carrying amount may be impaired. An impairment loss generally would be recognized when the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s net assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the reporting unit and would be measured as the excess carrying value of goodwill over the derived fair value of goodwill. The Company’s policy is to perform an annual impairment testing for its reporting units on December 31 of each fiscal year.

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

The Company follows ASC 360 in accounting for finite-lived intangible assets, which requires impairment losses to be recorded when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by the assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. As of June 30, 2023, the Company determined there were no indicators of impairment of its intangible 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 June 30, 2023, 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 June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, we have valuation allowances which serve to reduce net deferred tax assets.

Earnings Per Share

Basic income or (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the periods presented. Diluted 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 and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, since there are no common stock equivalents outstanding that would have a dilutive effect.

Leases

On February 25, 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 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 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 (“CODM”) is our Chief Executive Officer. Management has determined that the operational data used by our CODM 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 three and six-month periods ended June 30, 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.

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.

3.	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 and amended as of August 10, 2023.

4.	Acquisitions

Logicquest Technology, Inc.

In April 2023, the Company executed a purchase agreement for 99.4 million shares of restricted common stock of Logicquest Technology, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Logicquest”) representing ownership of 99.1% 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. Logicquest was a shell company (as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) quoted on the OTC Pink Open Market under the symbol “LOGQ” and is required to file reports and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to the Exchange Act. In June 2023, the Company merged the assets of Coyni, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Coyni PrivCo”), and Logicquest, with Logicquest as the surviving entity. Subsequently, Logicquest changed its name to Coyni, Inc. (“Coyni PubCo”). The Company expects to close on the purchase in Q3 2023. The Company intends to spin-off assets of the Company into Coyni PubCo at a later date. The details of the spin-off are being finalized and will be subject to corporate governance. There can be no assurance as to the timing or whether the Company will be able to consummate the spin-off of Logicquest. Since the timing or completion of the transaction is uncertain, the Company’s investment in Coyni has not been reclassified as assets held for sale, in accordance with ASC Topic 205. The Company has engaged Kingswood, a division of Kingswood Capital Partners, LLC (“Kingswood”) as the non-exclusive placement agent pursuant to an Engagement Agreement dated as of April 21, 2023, to advise the Company in connection with an offering on a reasonable best-efforts basis of Coyni PubCo as a separate publicly traded company (the “Offering”). The Offering is subject to completion of the anticipated spin-off, subject to market conditions. The Company expects to raise approximately $40 million in the Offering based on the valuation of Coyni PubCo’s assets and liabilities of approximately $200 million. The Company has not obtained an independent third-party valuation of Coyni PubCo.

Merchant Payment Solutions LLC

In November 2021, the Company executed a term sheet to acquire certain ACH business of Merchant Payment Solutions LLC (“MPS”). Upon execution of the term sheet, the Company made a refundable earnest money deposit in the amount of $725,000 toward the total purchase price. After conducting due diligence, the Company elected to terminate the term sheet on April 21, 2023. In June 2023, the Company and MPS agreed to finalize a Portfolio Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired the ACH portfolio of MPS for $725,000.

Sky Financial & Intelligence

On March 31, 2022, the Company contracted to acquire a portfolio of merchant accounts from Sky Financial 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 on May 12, 2022. The entire amount tendered in both cash and stock was recorded as a Customer Relationships asset.

As of the date of this filing, the Company has not received delivery of the acquired merchant list and the associated ISO management portal access. 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.

5.	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 large 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.

The following is a rollforward of the derivative liability for the year ended December 31, 2022, and the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 (dollars in thousands):

In May 2023, the Investor converted $0.3 million of the outstanding principal balance for 562,641 shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.53.

SBA CARES Act Loans

On June 9, 2020, the Company entered into a 30-year loan agreement with the SBA under the CARES Act in the amount of $149,900. The loan bears interest at 3.75% per annum and requires monthly principal and interest payments of $731 beginning June 9, 2021. Both the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Company signed personal guarantees under this loan.

On May 8, 2020, Charge Savvy executed the standard loan documents required for securing a loan (the “EIDL Loan”) from the SBA under its Economic Injury Disaster Loan (“EIDL”) assistance program in light of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the TNB’s business.

Pursuant to that certain Loan Authorization and Agreement (the “SBA Loan Agreement”), Charge Savvy borrowed an aggregate principal amount of the EIDL Loan of $150,000, with proceeds to be used for working capital purposes. Interest accrues at the rate of 3.75% per annum and will accrue only on funds actually advanced from the date of each advance. Installment payments, including principal and interest, are due monthly beginning May 8, 2021 (twelve months from the date of the SBA Loan) in the amount of $731. The balance of principal and interest is payable thirty years from the date of the SBA Loan. In connection therewith, the Company also received a $10,000 grant, which does not have to be repaid. During the year ended December 31, 2020, $10,000 was recorded in EIDL grant income in the Statements of Operations. On Aug 24, 2021, Charge Savvy was granted an increase in loan principal in the amount of $350,000 on identical terms.

In connection therewith, Charge Savvy executed (i) loans for the benefit of the SBA (the “SBA Loan”), which contains customary events of default and (ii) Security Agreements, granting the SBA a security interest in all tangible and intangible personal property of Charge Savvy, which also contains customary events of default (the “SBA Security Agreement”).

Subsequent Events

The Company follows the guidance in FASB ASC Topic 855, Subsequent Events (“ASC 855”), which provides guidance to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the consolidated financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. ASC 855 sets forth (i) the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity evaluates events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements, (ii) the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its consolidated financial statements, and (iii) the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. Accordingly, the Company did not have any subsequent events that require disclosure other than the following:

In July 2023, the Company authorized a new class of Series A Preferred Convertible Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), the terms of which are set forth in a Certificate of Designations of Rights and Preferences of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of RYVYL, Inc. (the “Certificate of Designations”), which the Company filed with the Nevada Secretary of State on July 26, 2023.

Under the terms of the Certificate of Designations, each share of Series A Preferred Stock will have a stated value of $1,000 per share, and will be convertible, at the holder’s option, either (a) at the fixed conversion price then in effect, which initially is $2.00 (subject to standard antidilution adjustments and adjustments as a result of subsequent issuances of securities where the effective price of the Common Stock is less than the then current fixed conversion price) or (b) at the Alternate Conversion Price (defined below). The Certificate of Designations also provides that in the event of certain “Triggering Events,” any holder may, at any time, convert any or all of such holder’s Series A Preferred Stock at a conversion rate equal to the product of (i) the Alternate Conversion Price and (ii) 115% of the value of the Preferred Stock subject to such conversion. “Triggering Events” include, among others, (i) a failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock, upon a conversion, (ii) a suspension of trading on the principal trading market or the failure to be traded or listed on the principal market for five days or more, (iii) the failure to pay any dividend to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock when required, (iv) the failure to remove restrictive legends when required, (v) the Company’s default in payment of indebtedness in an aggregate amount of $2 million or more, (vi) proceedings for a bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or liquidation, which are not dismissed with 30 days, (vii) commencement of a voluntary bankruptcy proceeding, and (viii) final judgments against the Company for the payment of money in excess of $2 million. “Alternate Conversion Price” means the lower of (i) the applicable conversion price the in effect and (ii) the greater of (x) $0.24 (the “Floor Price”) and (y) 97.5% of the lowest volume weighted average price of the Common Stock during the five (5) consecutive trading day period ending and including the trading day immediately preceding the delivery of the applicable conversion notice.

On July 31, 2023, the Company issued 6,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock in exchange for $4,297,000 of the outstanding principal balance of the Note and $1,703,000 of accrued interest. See Note 9 – “Long-Term Debt” for further information.

Revenue

Revenue increased by $7.9 million, or 113%, to $14.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, from $6.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The change in net revenue was primarily attributable to significant growth in processing volume from our acquired businesses RYVYL EU and American Samoa in the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. North America revenue increased by 86%, from $5.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 to $11.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. International revenue increased 270%, from $1.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022 to $3.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue increased by $4.5 million, or 106%, to $8.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, from $4.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 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 $0.2 million, or 1.4%, to $11.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, from $11.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was due primarily to higher general and administrative and external professional expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2023, which was partially offset by decreases in advertising and marketing, stock-based compensation expenses and depreciation and amortization.

The higher general and administrative expenses in the quarter ended June 30, 2023 are primarily attributable to non-recurring legal settlements and ongoing matters and related legal fees, non-recurring provision for credit losses on non-continuing legacy accounts, and accounting fees related to the restatement of prior period financial statements.

Other Income (Expense)

Other expense totaled $6.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to other income of $20.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Changes in the fair value of derivative liability amounted to a charge of $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and a credit of $26.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023. Interest expense for accretion of the debt discount related to the $100 million convertible note issued in November 2021 decreased by $2.8 million. Additionally, we incurred a charge of $0.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023, related to the conversion of debt and we recognized a loss of $0.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022 in connection with the settlement of debt. Other expense also included $1.2 million in carryover effects of financial statement restatements.

Excluding the effects of the highly volatile changes in the fair value of derivative liability, and the non-recurring carryover effects of financial statement restatements, other income (expense) increased by $0.3 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2023, compared to the year-earlier period.

Revenue

Revenue increased by $15.0 million, or 134%, to $26.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, from $11.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The change in net revenue was primarily attributable to an increase in processing volume in the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022, and an increase in revenues from our acquired businesses including Charge Savvy, RYVYL EU and American Samoa. North America revenue increased by 96%, from $10.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $19.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. International revenue increased over 500%, from $1.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $6.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue increased by $7.9 million, or 113%, to $14.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, from $7.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 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 $0.5 million, or 2.2%, to $20.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, from $20.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was due primarily to higher general and administrative and external professional expenses for legal and accounting services for the financial restatement and 2022 annual reporting plus legal proceedings for the six months ended June 30, 2023, and was partially offset by decreases advertising and marketing, stock-based compensation expenses and depreciation and amortization.

The higher general and administrative expenses in the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 are primarily attributable to non-recurring legal settlements and ongoing matters and related legal fees, non-recurring provision for credit losses on non-continuing legacy accounts, and accounting fees related to the restatement of prior period financial statements.

Other Income (Expense)

Other expense increased to $10.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, from $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Changes in the fair value of derivative liability amounted to a credit of $18.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and a charge of $0.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023. Interest expense, including expense related to the accretion of the debt discount related to the $100 million convertible note issued in November 2021 decreased by $10.1 million, due to a lower amount of debt outstanding. Additionally, we incurred a charge of $0.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023, related to the conversion of debt and we recognized a loss of $1.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022 in connection with the settlement of debt. Other expense also included $1.2 million in carryover effects of financial statement restatements.

Excluding the effects of the highly volatile changes in the fair value of derivative liability, and the non-recurring carryover effects of financial statement restatements, other income (expense) decreased by $9.8 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 compared to the year-earlier six-month period.

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.

Table of Contents

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

U.S. generally accepted accounting procedures (“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.

Table of Contents

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 source of liquidity has historically been derived from raising capital through the issuance of debt or common stock. Our cash flow from operations has not historically been sufficient to cover our cash requirements.

Notwithstanding the net operating loss for the three months and six months ended June30, 2023, management believes that our current cash balance is sufficient to fund operations for at least one year from the date this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is filed with the SEC.

As previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on July 26, 2023, on July 25, 2023, we entered into an Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with an institutional investor (the “Investor”), which previously provided $100 million in convertible note financing to the Company, evidenced by an 8% Convertible Note Due 2023, issued to the Investor on November 8, 2021 (the “Note”), which Note was originally due on November 5, 2023, and which maturity date was extended to November 5, 2024, pursuant to a Restructuring Agreement, dated as of August 16, 2022.

Under the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the Company and the Investor agreed to exchange (the “Exchanges”), in two separate exchanges, an aggregate of $22.703 million of the outstanding principal and interest under the Note for 15,000 shares of a newly authorized series of preferred stock of the Company designated as Series A Preferred Convertible Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”).

On July 31, 2023, pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the Company closed the first of the two Exchanges (the “Initial Exchange”) and issued to the Investor 6,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock in exchange for $4,297,000 of the outstanding principal balance of the Note and $1,703,000 of accrued interest.

The Initial Exchange was made in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

For more information on the provisions of the Exchange Agreement and the Leak-Out Agreement, also entered into by the Company and the Investor on July 25, 2023, please see the July 26^th Form 8-K and the exhibits filed therewith.

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):

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2023			2022 (as restated)
	*(dollars in thousands)*
Cash provided by operating activities	$	23,129		$	3,095
Cash used in investing activities		(17	)		(45,559	)
Cash used in financing activities		(7	)		(9,232	)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash		(13	)		(915	)
Cash acquired from acquisition of Transact Europe		-			18,677
Net increase (decrease) in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash	$	23,092		$	(33,934	)

Operating Activities – For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, net cash provided by operating activities was $23.1 million and $3.1 million, respectively. The cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to the timing of settlement of assets and liabilities.

Investing Activities – Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily consisted of the acquisition of Transact Euro and Sky Financial. Investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 were negligible.

Financing Activities – Net cash used by financing activities primarily consisted of repurchases of common stock under treasury method of $3.2 million and repayment of convertible debt of $6,000,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2022. Financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 were negligible.

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

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 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this Item.

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 with 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 June 30, 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 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 June 30, 2023, 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 were 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.

During the second quarter of 2023, Management identified an internal control deficiency over financial reporting primarily related to the segregation of duties. Management recognizes that the segregation of duties within certain part of its accounting processes can be inadequate for Management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis, and that this deficiency is important enough to merit attention by Management. Specifically, due to the size of the Company and the smaller nature of department teams, opportunities are currently limited to segregate duties, resulting in too few individuals having responsibility for the processing of certain financial information.

While we have designed and implemented, or expect to implement, measures that we believe address or will address this control deficiency, we continue to develop our internal controls, processes and reporting systems by, among other things, hiring qualified personnel with expertise to perform specific functions, and designing and implementing improved processes and internal controls, including ongoing senior management review and audit committee oversight. We plan to remediate the identified control deficiency through the redistribution of job responsibilities, by hiring additional senior accounting staff, and through the design and implementation of additional internal controls in order to promote adequate segregation of duties. We expect to complete the remediation in 2023 in conjunction with the process of developing our various business processes. We expect to incur additional costs to remediate this weakness, primarily personnel costs.

Additional external experienced personnel have been engaged in the accounting and finance department as part of the financial reporting processes. In connection with our preparation of quarterly information, we are implementing new procedures and internal controls surrounding the month-end financial closing and financial reporting processes to ensure proper segregations of duties, and thorough review of journal entries, account reconciliations, access controls and financial statements.

The new procedures and internal controls, however, were not fully implemented as of June 30, 2023. The Company has engaged a new Interim Chief Financial Officer, effective June 1, 2023, hired a new Corporate Controller, effective after the end of the quarter ended June 30, 2023, and is also conducting an on-going search for key management positions in critical control areas. In addition, management intends to initiate measures to immediately remediate the identified material weakness by implementing the new procedures and internal controls. These measures include, but are not limited to, applying a more rigorous review of the monthly financial reporting processes to ensure that the performance of the control is evidenced through appropriate documentation, which is consistently maintained, and evaluating necessary changes to the Company’s formalized process to ensure key controls are identified, the control design is appropriate, and the necessary evidentiary documentation is maintained throughout the process.
