UPAY, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 8, 2015. By a Share Exchange Agreement dated November 4, 2015, the Company agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Rent Pay (Pty) Ltd (“Rent Pay”), in exchange for 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The acquisition is a capital transaction in substance and therefore has been accounted for as a recapitalization. Rent Pay was incorporated in South Africa on February 1, 2012. Because Rent Pay is deemed to be the acquirer for accounting purposes, the consolidated financial statements are presented as a continuation of Rent Pay and include the results of operations of Rent Pay since incorporation on February 1, 2012, and the results of operations of the Company since the date of acquisition on November 4, 2015. On March 2, 2022, the Company acquired a controlling interest in Miway Finance Inc. (“Miway”), which was determined to be a transaction between entities under common control (Note 3).

Rent Pay operates principally in South Africa and engages in software development and licensing and provides services to the credit provider industry.

The recent outbreak of the novel coronavirus COVID-19, which was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020, has led to adverse impacts on the U.S. and global economies, disruptions of financial markets, and created uncertainty regarding potential impacts to the Company’s supply chain, operations, and customer demand. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted and could further impact the Company’s operations and the operations of the Company’s suppliers and vendors as a result of quarantines, facility closures, and travel and logistics restrictions. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including, but not limited to the duration, spread, severity, and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s customers, suppliers, and vendors and the remedial actions and stimulus measures adopted by local and federal governments, and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. The management team is closely following the progression of COVID-19 and its potential impact on the Company. Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, the Company may experience adverse impacts to its business as a result of any economic recession or depression that has occurred or may occur in the future. Therefore, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the impact at this time our business, liquidity, capital resources and financial results.

These consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Company’s fiscal year end is February 28. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries Rent Pay and Miway. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year end February 28, 2022, have been omitted.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to useful life and recoverability of long-lived assets, and deferred income tax asset valuations. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

Cash includes cash on hand and cash held with banks. The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Trade accounts receivable are recorded at net invoice value and such receivables are non-interest bearing. Receivables are considered past due based on the contractual payment terms. Receivables are reviewed and specific amounts are reserved if collectability is no longer reasonably assured.

As at May 31,2022, the Company has recognized an allowance for doubtful accounts of $2,635 (February 28, 2022 - $1,768).

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation, and any impairment in value. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated lives of the assets:

The Company periodically performs impairment testing on its long-lived assets either annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable in accordance with ASC 360. All property and equipment assets were deemed recoverable at May 31, 2022, and February 28, 2022.

Right-of-use assets are stated at cost, less accumulated amortization and any impairment in value. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated lives of the assets:

Schedule of Estimated Life of Assets

The Company periodically performs impairment testing on its long-lived assets either annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable in accordance with ASC 360. All right-of-use assets were deemed recoverable at May 31, 2022 and February 28, 2022.

The Company measures and discloses the estimated fair value of financial assets and liabilities using the fair value hierarchy in accordance with ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”. The fair value hierarchy has three levels, which are based on reliable available inputs of observable data. The hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available.

The three-level hierarchy is defined as follows:

Level 1 – quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2 – quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.

Level 3 – fair value measurements derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

Financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, equity method investment, accounts payable, taxes payable and notes payable. There were no transfers into or out of “Level 3” during the three months ended May 31, 2022 or 2021. The recorded values of all financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective relatively short maturity dates or durations.

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial statement. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

Management has adopted ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Translation Matters”, as the functional currency of the Company is the South African rand and the reporting currency is U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Average rates for the period are used to translate revenues and expenses. The cumulative translation adjustment is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Effective March 1, 2019, the Company adopted FASB ASC Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”). This standard requires lessees to recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset representing the Company’s right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. At the inception of an arrangement, the Company determines whether the arrangement is or contains a lease based on the unique facts and circumstances within the arrangement. A lease is identified where an arrangement conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant, and equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Leases which are identified within the scope of ASC 842 and which have a term greater than one year are recognized on the Company’s balance sheet as ROU assets and lease liabilities. Operating lease liabilities and their corresponding ROU assets are recorded based on the present value of lease payments over the expected remaining lease term. The lease term includes any renewal options and termination options that are reasonably certain to be exercised. Certain adjustments to the right-of-use asset may be required for items such as initial direct costs paid or incentives received. The present value of lease payments is determined by using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate is readily determinable; otherwise, the Company uses it’s incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate is determined based on the rate of interest that the Company would pay to borrow on a collateralized basis an amount equal to the lease payments for a similar term and in a similar economic environment. The interest rate implicit in lease contracts to calculate the present value is typically not readily determinable. As such, significant management judgment is required to estimate the incremental borrowing rate.

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The guidance under ASC 606 is based on the principle that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to fulfill a contract. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied.

The Company derives revenue through licensing its software and by collecting various transaction fees from third party debit orders.

The Company has several revenue streams and they are recognized as below:

Branch Setup Fees

This is a once off, non-refundable cost that the company charges when a customer is onboarded. Revenue is recognized immediately and is collected in the same month. This results in no accounts receivable at the end of the month as revenue is recognized and collected immediately.

Data Migration Fees

This only applies to a customer applying to migrate client data from a previous system to our system. We invoice for this service as soon as data is successfully transferred, imported and verified by our customer. Revenue is recognized upon invoicing and payment is collected within two days due to debit order mandates signed by the customer as part of the agreement. This results in no outstanding accounts receivable as of the end of each month.

Monthly Rental Fees

Our software is made available on a web-based software platform and is offered as software as a service. Our agreement is an evergreen agreement (auto-renewed) and if not terminated by a customer, remains intact. Termination may occur by either party at any point with 30 days’ notice. The monthly software rental fee is payable every month per branch. Monthly software rental fees are payable in the beginning of each month. The monthly rental fees are invoiced during the first few days of a month and is recognized over the period of the month. Payments are collected via debit order a few days later, prior to the end of that month, due to debit order mandate signed by the customer. This results in no accounts receivable as invoicing and payment happens within the same month.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Development Service Fee

We have some clients that we do custom software development for, on some versions of our software. Here we adopt a scrum methodology with 2-week development sprints. We agree on a price per hour for development with these clients, typically through email communication. We send an invoice for the work completed and usually get paid within the same month. On this revenue stream we do not run a debit order, but clients need to pay invoices before we continue with the next development increment. Payments are due and revenue is recognized upon invoicing. At times collecting payment can take up to 30 days. Unpaid invoices, if any, are recorded to accounts receivable at the end of each month, but invoicing and payment usually happen within the same month.

Transactional Fees

We offer an integrated debit order facility built into our software. When our clients (lenders) create loans with consumers, the consumer contracts directly with us on a separate agreement. We then act as a third-party payment provider, to facilitate the repayment of loans from the consumer to the lender by debit order. We are registered as a third-party payment provider and all payments collected on this stream are settled by the bank directly into our bank account. We only charge a fee on successful debit order collections and retain that fee when we distribute funds collected on behalf of consumers. The transaction fees charged for these transactions are called CTC and they are displayed on the signed agreement that the consumer signs with us. The CTC fees are paid by the consumer, in addition to the loan installment collected. The loan installment and CTC are collected as one amount, but the CTC is retained by us upon distribution of funds to lenders. Revenue is recognized as each new order is processed and the transaction fee is charged. Our software system counts and accounts for each individual transaction and its amount and this is generated on a report on our Acpas software. We use this report to confirm the revenue recognition in our billing system. If there are any CTC that has yet to be collected at an end of a period, it is recorded as accounts receivable.

Credit Protection Insurance Commission

Some insurance companies offer insurance products on loans that cover the consumer for the full repayment of their debt to the lender, in case of unforeseen events. There is an insurance product from one of our suppliers (an insurance company) that we make available for the insurance company on our software program. In return for making this product available the insurance company would pay us monthly commission on premiums they received. This is a product offered by the insurance company directly to the consumer and we only make it available on our software platform. If this option is selected when a loan is created, an additional fee is added to the loan repayment amount. The software system calculates the insurance premiums and all premiums for a given month are paid by lenders to the insurance company, or lenders use our payment service and instruct us to manage the payments on their behalf. After receiving the premiums and supporting reports, the insurance company will then calculate and verify the premiums paid and premium claw back to this point and work out the commission payable based on the premiums received. Upon collection of the premiums, the insurance company will complete their final calculations and the insurance company will then pay all commissions earned by us and the lenders. We distribute the commission amounts due to the lenders within two days of receiving such payments from the insurance company. Revenue is recognized upon collection of the premiums from the consumers.

Credit Bureau transactions

Some credit bureaus like XDS or VeriCred, offer consumer screening products, that we make available on our software platform as integration. Lenders can sign up for these service and access credit information of consumers that they would like to screen, directly from our software platform. In return for making these products available on a seamless integration, we charge a fee on the products. The Company enters into an agreement with the credit bureau and lender to the agreed fees. The agreement with the credit bureau determines the commission fee paid or the markup to be charged on transactions by the company, as reseller. If there are any credit bureau fees that has yet to be collected at an end of a period, it is recorded as accounts receivable.

Payroll transactions

Some of our client (lenders) have arrangements with employers where these employers deduct loan installments payable to the lender from the payroll of that employer, on behalf of the lender. The deduction is made from employees that have taken loans from the lender. We provide these payroll lenders with adequate reporting in our software, that can be used to help identify the amounts to be deducted from each individual consumer, with unique identifiers, which is sent to the employers. We also assist lenders to capture payments received from employers on our software in bulk, where requested. We charge a payroll transaction fee to the lender, for each successful payment made in a month on the system. The fee is charged as a combined amount for the payments received on payroll for that month. The payroll transaction fees are set out and agreed to with the lender on the signed agreement they have with us. Our software system counts and accounts for each individual payment receipted, and this is generated on a payment report on our ACPAS software. We use this report for revenue recognition in our billing system. Revenue is recorded as a lump sum based on this report at the end of each month. If there are any payroll transaction fees, that still needs to be recognized at an end of a period, it is recorded as accounts receivable.

The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” and ASC 505, “Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees”, using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income (loss) and its components in the financial statements. As at May 31, 2022 and February 28, 2022, the only item that represents comprehensive income (loss) was foreign currency translation.

The Company computes earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the statement of operations. EPS is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS if applicable is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders for the period by the diluted weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS would reflect the potential dilution from common shares issuable through stock options, performance-based restricted stock units that have satisfied their performance factor and restricted stock units using the treasury stock method.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of May 31, 2022, the Company does not have revenues sufficient to execute its business plan. The Company intends to fund operations through equity financing arrangements. There is no assurance that this will be successful. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its consolidated financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

On June 10, 2020, the Company purchased 20,000,000 shares of Miway Finance Inc. (“Miway”) at $0.001 per share for a purchase price of $20,000, representing a 48.66% ownership interest. The Company previously accounted for its investment under the equity method.

Pursuant to the Share Purchase and Separation Agreement described in Note 11, the Company received 3,700,000 shares of common stock of MiWay Finance, Inc. from the former CEO on March 2, 2022, increasing the Company’s ownership interest to 57.66%. As a result, the Company obtained control over Miway and consolidated the balances and results of Miway effective March 2, 2022.

Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are reported at their historical carrying amounts and any difference between the proceeds transferred is recognized in additional paid-in capital. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Miway since the date of acquisition and the historical accounts of the Company since inception.

The assets and liabilities of Miway acquired are as follows:

At the time of acquisition, the Company had paid a total of $24,685 for its ownership interest in Miway. Upon consolidation, the difference between the investment of $24,685 and the net assets assumed of $3,140 was recognized in additional paid-in capital.

Effective May 31, 2022, the Company’s ownership interest in Miway decreased to 48.32% and the CEO of the Company became the majority shareholder of both the Company and Miway. As a result of the common ownership, the change in control was considered a common-control transaction and was outside the scope of the business combination guidance in ASC 805-50. The entities are deemed to be under common control as of May 31, 2022, which was the date that the majority shareholder acquired control of the Company and Miway and, therefore, held control over both companies.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Pursuant to ASC 250-10 and ASC 805-50, the transaction resulted in a change in the reporting entity and was recognized retrospectively for all periods during which the entities were under common control. For common-control transactions that result in a change in the reporting entity and for which both receiving entity and the transferring entity were not under common control during the entire reporting period, it is necessary to determine which entity is the predecessor. The predecessor is the reporting entity deemed to be the receiving entity for accounting purposes in a common-control transaction. The predecessor is not always the entity that legally receives the net assets or equity interests transferred. Comparative financial information shall only be adjusted for periods during which the entities were under common control. Since common control between the Company and Miway did not occur until the current period, the comparative information does not need to be combined. Accordingly, for periods in which the combining entities were not under common control, the comparative financial statements presented are those of the entity that is determined to be the predecessor up to the date at which the entities became under common control. The Company was determined to be the predecessor entity and, therefore, was deemed to be the receiving entity for accounting purposes. Since the entities were consolidated immediately prior to the change of control, there was no impact from the common control transaction.
