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 for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 26, 2024 (the “2023 Annual Report”).

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. The results of the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year or any other interim period or any future year or period.

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.

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

On September 6, 2023, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to its amended and restated certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada to effect a 1-for-10 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the Company’s shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “common stock”). Such amendment and ratio were previously approved by the board of directors. Under Nevada Revised Statutes Section 78.207, stockholder approval of the Reverse Stock Split was not required because (i) both the number of authorized shares of the common stock and the number of issued and outstanding shares of the common stock were proportionally reduced as a result of the Reverse Stock Split; (ii) the Reverse Stock Split did not adversely affect any other class of stock of the Company; and (iii) the Company did not pay money or issue scrip to stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, which was effective September 6, 2023, every ten shares of the Company’s pre-reverse split outstanding common stock were combined and reclassified into one share of common stock. Proportionate voting rights and other rights of common stockholders were not affected by the Reverse Stock Split. Any fractional shares of common stock resulting from the Reverse Stock Split were rounded up to the nearest whole share. All stock options outstanding and common stock reserved for issuance under the Company’s equity incentive plans outstanding immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split were adjusted by dividing the number of affected shares of common stock by ten and, as applicable, multiplying the exercise price by ten. All share numbers, share prices, exercise prices and per share amounts have been adjusted, on a retroactive basis to reflect this 1-for-10 Reverse Stock Split.

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 substantially consists of cash received from gateways for merchant transactions processed, which has yet to be distributed to merchants, Independent Sales Organizations (“ISOs”) and their agents at the end of the period.

The gateways have strict policies pertaining to the scheduling of the release of funds to merchants based on several criteria that include, but are not limited to, return and chargeback history, associated risk for the specific business vertical, average transaction amount, etc. To mitigate potential credit losses associated with these risks, the gateways use these policies to determine reserve requirements and a payment in arrears strategy. While reserve and payment in arrears restrictions are in effect for a merchant payout, the Company records the reserved amounts against cash due from the gateways until the restriction is released.

The Company generates the majority of its revenue from payment processing services provided to 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 gets to collect fees. Cash due from gateways represent amounts due to the Company for transactions processed but not yet distributed by the gateways.

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’s ecosystem. The verification of transaction data comes from trusted partners, all of whom have been extensively vetted by the Company. The Company facilitates all financial elements of its closed-loop ecosystem, and it acts as the administrator for all related accounts. Using the Company’s TrustGateway technology, the Company seeks authorization and settlement for each transaction from gateways to the issuing bank responsible for the credit/debit card used in the transaction. When a gateway settles the transaction, the Company’s TrustGateway technology composes a chain of blockchain instructions to the Company’s ledger manager system.

When consumers use their credit or debit cards to pay for transactions with merchants who use our ecosystem, the transaction starts with the consumer funding their virtual wallets with an amount that is equal to the cost of the good or service they intend to purchase from the merchant. Once this occurs, the Company transfers the respective funds to the merchant’s virtual wallet, 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 the Company’s blockchain ledger records transaction details instantaneously, the final cash settlement of each transaction can take days to weeks, depending upon contract terms between the Company and the gateways the Company uses, between the Company and its ISOs, and between the Company and/or its ISOs and merchants who use the Company’s services. In the case where the gateways have not yet remitted funds to the Company pertaining to transactions already processed, the Company records those amounts as cash due from gateways, net – a current asset. Concurrently, the Company records a portion of the cash due from gateways as revenue and the remaining balance, which is due to merchants and ISOs, as payment processing liabilities, net – a current liability. The balance included in payment processing liabilities, net in the consolidated balance sheets is equal to the sum of amounts due to merchants and ISOs related to the aforementioned unsettled transactions and the amounts due to merchants and ISOs on already settled transactions that these merchants and ISOs have not yet redeemed in the blockchain.

Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

The Company generates the majority of its revenue from payment processing services. Payment processing services revenue is typically based on a percentage of the value of each transaction processed and/or upon fixed amounts specified per each transaction or service. The Company satisfies its performance obligations and, therefore, recognizes the processing fees as revenue at a point in time, upon the authorization of a merchant sale transaction.

Research and development costs primarily consist of salaries and benefits for research and development personnel and outsourced contracted services, as well as associated supplies and materials. These costs are expensed as incurred.

Internal-use software development costs consist of the costs related to outsourced consultants who are directly associated with and who devote time to creating and enhancing internally developed software for the Company’s platforms. Internal-use software development activities generally consist of three stages: (i) the preliminary project stage, (ii) the application development stage, and (iii) the postimplementation-operation stage. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350-40, Internal Use Software, costs incurred in the preliminary and postimplementation-operation stages of software development are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred in the application development stage, including significant enhancements and upgrades, are capitalized. Capitalized internal-use software development costs are included within property and equipment, net on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, and are amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of three years upon the software or additional features being ready for their intended use.

Accounts receivable consist of amounts recorded in connection with the sale of payment processing terminals and related accessories. Accounts receivable are recorded at invoiced amounts, net of an allowance for credit losses, and do not bear interest. In accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (ASC 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), the Company measures its allowance for credit losses using an expected credit loss model that reflects the Company’s current estimate of expected credit losses inherent in the enterprise and the accounts receivable balance. In determining the expected credit losses, the Company considers its historical loss experience, the aging of its accounts receivable balance, current economic and business conditions, and anticipated future economic events that may impact collectability. The Company reviews its allowance for credit losses periodically and, as needed, amounts are written-off when determined to be uncollectible. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the allowance for credit losses was immaterial.

Prepaid expenses and other current assets primarily consist of inventory and deposits made by our European subsidiaries with credit card companies.

Property and equipment primarily consist of computer equipment, leasehold improvements, and furniture and fixtures. Property and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed 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 lease term or the estimated useful life of the related asset. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. For assets sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any related gain or loss is reflected in income for the period.

The Company applies fair value accounting for assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined as the price received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, establishes a three-level hierarchy priority for disclosure of assets and liabilities recorded at fair value. The ordering of priority reflects the degree to which objective prices in external active markets are available to measure fair value. The classification of assets and liabilities within the hierarchy is based on whether the inputs to the valuation methodology used for measurement are observable or unobservable. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. The three levels in the hierarchy are as follows:

The Company measures its convertible note and related derivative liability at fair value. The Company classifies these liabilities as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, as fair values are estimated using models that use both observable (e.g., changes in market interest rates) and unobservable (e.g., changes in unobservable long-dated volatilities) inputs.

Goodwill is recorded when the consideration paid for the acquisition of a business exceeds the fair value of the identifiable net tangible and intangible assets acquired. ASC 350-20, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Goodwill, requires companies to assess goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. Testing goodwill for impairment is performed at the reporting unit level, using a two-step test, and requires companies to compare the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. Goodwill is considered impaired if the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. ASC 350-20 also provides for an optional qualitative assessment for testing goodwill for impairment that enables companies to skip the two-step test if it is determined that it is more likely than not (i.e., a likelihood of greater than 50%) that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount.

The Company’s policy is to perform its annual impairment test of goodwill as of December 31 of each fiscal year. However, due to the existence of impairment indicators, the Company determined that it needed to perform a goodwill impairment test as of June 30, 2024. Based on that assessment, the Company determined that the carrying value of its North America reporting unit exceeded its fair value, and recorded an impairment charge during the quarter ended June 30, 2024 equal to $6.7 million or one hundred percent (100%) of the goodwill balance in that operating unit.

Intangible assets consist of acquired customer relationships and business intellectual properties. In accordance with ASC 350-30, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—General Intangibles Other than Goodwill, the Company’s intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives, ranging from two to five years, using the straight-line method. Intangible assets amortized under ASC 350-30 must be reviewed for impairment when indicators of impairment are present, in accordance with ASC 360-10. During the quarter ended June 30, 2024, the Company determined that impairment indicators were present and performed an impairment assessment over the intangible assets at the asset group level. Based on that assessment, the Company determined that the carrying value of its intangible assets within its North America segment are recoverable and, as such, no impairment was recorded.

The Company leases office space under non-cancellable operating leases with various expiration dates. The Company determines whether an arrangement is a lease for accounting purposes at contract inception. Operating leases are recorded as right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, which are included within noncurrent assets, and lease liabilities, which are included within current and noncurrent liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets.

Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term. ROU assets are based on the lease liability and are increased by prepaid lease payments and decreased by lease incentives received, where applicable. The interest rate used to determine the present value of the future lease payments is the Company’s incremental borrowing rate because the interest rate implicit in the Company’s leases is not readily determinable. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate is estimated to approximate the interest rate that the Company would pay to borrow on a collateralized basis with similar terms and payments as the lease, and in economic environments where the leased asset is located. Certain leases require the Company to pay taxes, maintenance, and other operating expenses associated with the leased asset. Such amounts are not included in the measurement of the ROU assets and lease liabilities. These lease costs are recognized as lease expenses when incurred.

The Company evaluates ROU assets related to leases for indicators of impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a ROU asset may not be recoverable. When a decision has been made to exit a lease prior to the contractual term or to sublease that space, the Company evaluates the asset for impairment and recognizes the associated impact to the ROU asset and related expense, if applicable. The evaluation is performed at the asset group level initially and when appropriate, at the lowest level of identifiable cash flows, which is at the individual lease level. Undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the related ROU assets are estimated over the ROU assets’ useful lives. If the evaluation indicates that the carrying amount of the ROU assets may not be recoverable, any potential impairment is measured based upon the fair value of the related ROU asset or asset group as determined by appropriate valuation techniques.

Assets and liabilities are translated into the reporting currency using the exchange rates in effect on the consolidated balance sheet dates. Equity accounts are translated at historical rates, except for the change in retained earnings during the period, which is the result of the income statement translation process. Revenue and expense accounts are translated using the weighted average exchange rate during the period. The cumulative translation adjustments associated with the net assets of foreign subsidiaries are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income in the accompanying consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity.

Stock-based compensation expense relates to restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) and stock options granted to employees and non-employee directors under the Company’s equity incentive plans, which are measured based on the grant-date fair value. The fair value of RSAs is determined by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. The fair value of stock options is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model. Generally, stock-based compensation expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.

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 of 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, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company has valuation allowances which serve to reduce net deferred tax assets.

The Company’s basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period without consideration of potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding, adjusted for the dilutive effect of all potential shares of common stock. For the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company’s diluted net loss per share is the same as the basic net loss per share, since there are no common stock equivalents outstanding that would have a dilutive effect.

The Company determines its reportable segments based on how its Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) manages the business, makes operating decisions around the allocation of resources, and evaluates operating performance. Our CODM is our Chief Executive Officer and we have identified two reportable segments: North America and International. These segments represent the components of the Company for which separate financial information is available that is utilized on a regular basis by the CODM to assess segment performance, set strategic goals, and allocate the Company’s resources. The primary financial measure used by the CODM to evaluate the performance of its segments and allocate resources to them is operating income or (loss).

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, as amended by subsequently issued ASUs 2018-19, 2019-04, 2019-05, 2019-10, 2019-11, 2020-02, 2020-03 and 2022-02 (collectively, “Topic 326”). Topic 326 requires entities to utilize a new impairment model known as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model for certain financial assets held at the reporting date. The CECL model requires entities to estimate lifetime “expected credit loss” amounts and record them as an allowance that, when deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset, presents the net amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. The CECL model is expected to result in more timely recognition of credit losses. The guidance also amends the impairment model for available for sale debt securities and requires entities to determine whether all or a portion of the unrealized loss on such debt security is a credit loss. The Company adopted the updates as of January 1, 2023, with no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, “Business Combinations (ASC 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. Under current accounting standards, contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination are to be recorded at fair value using the ASC 805 measurement principle. ASU 2021-08 is effective for fiscal years and interim reporting periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The adoption of ASU 2021-08, effective January 1, 2023, did not have an impact on the financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and disclosures of the Company.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 aims to simplify the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. ASU 2020-06 also simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity and amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. For SEC filers, excluding smaller reporting companies, ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods therein. The adoption of ASU 2020-06, effective January 1, 2024, did not have an impact on the financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and disclosures of the Company.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The amended guidance requires incremental reportable segment disclosures, primarily about significant segment expenses. The amendments also require entities with a single reportable segment to provide all disclosures required by these amendments, and all existing segment disclosures. The amendments will be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact this amended guidance may have on the footnotes to its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60): Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets. This amended guidance requires fair value measurement of certain crypto assets each reporting period with the changes in fair value reflected in net income. The amendments also require disclosures of the name, fair value, units held, and cost bases for each significant crypto asset held and annual reconciliations of crypto asset holdings. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are required to apply these amendments as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the guidance is adopted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have an impact on our consolidated financial statements, as we currently do not hold any crypto assets.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amended guidance enhances income tax disclosures primarily related to the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. This guidance requires disclosure of specific categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation and further information on reconciling items meeting a quantitative threshold. In addition, the amended guidance requires disaggregating income taxes paid (net of refunds received) by federal, state, and foreign taxes. It also requires disaggregating individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid (net of refunds received) is equal to or greater than 5 percent of total income taxes paid (net of refunds received). The amended guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The guidance can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact this amended guidance may have on the footnotes to our consolidated financial statements.
