PART I

Item 1 – Business

Organization

The Company was incorporated April 10, 2007 under the laws of the State of Nevada with the name ASAP Expo, Inc. On March 23, 2018, the then controlling shareholder and then sole officer and sole director of PubCo, Frank Yuan, along with his wife, Vicky PMW Yuan, entered into a Purchase Agreement with PrivCo (the “Yuan SPA”) whereby, on April 12, 2018, PrivCo became the owner of the majority of PubCo’s shares of common stock and Fredi Nisan and Ben Errez (PrivCo’s control persons) became the sole officers and directors of PubCo. On January 4, 2020, PubCo and PrivCo entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement to memorialize a verbal agreement (the “Verbal Agreement”) entered into on April 12, 2018, by and among PubCo (the buyer) and PrivCo, which was formed on August 10, 2017 (the seller). On April 12, 2018, pursuant to the Verbal Agreement, PubCo acquired PrivCo’s blockchain gateway and payment system business, point of sale system business, delivery business and kiosk business, and bank and merchant accounts, as well as all intellectual property related thereto (the “GreenBox Business”). As consideration for the GreenBox Business, on April 12, 2018, PubCo assumed PrivCo’s liabilities that had been incurred in the normal course of the GreenBox Business.

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

Our Business

GreenBox POS is a technology company that develops, markets and sells innovative blockchain-based payment solutions, which we believe offer significant improvements for the payment solutions marketplace. Our core focus is to develop and monetize disruptive blockchain-based applications, integrated within an end-to-end suite of financial products, capable of supporting a multitude of industries. Our proprietary, blockchain-based ecosystem is designed to facilitate, record and store a virtually limitless volume of tokenized assets, representing cash or data, on a secured, immutable blockchain-based ledger.

Payment processing in the blockchain world only requires recording a ledger, there is no movement of money. Secure tokens are used where users need an immediate transaction, in a safe, private, and hack-free environment, and where traditional banks may not work effectively, like cross border transactions or in under-banked verticals.

We generate 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 a fixed amount specified for each transaction or service and, in each case, is recognized as such transactions or services are performed. This is our primary source of revenues. 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 we get to collect fees.

●

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

●

Equipment revenue is generated from the sale of POS products, which is recognized when goods are shipped.

We have three main products that are utilized by our customers:

QuickCard Payment System is a comprehensive physical and virtual cash management system, including software that facilitates deposits, cash and e-wallet management.

POS Solutions is our complete end-to-end Point of Sale solution, comprising both software and hardware.

Loopz Software Solution is a mobile delivery service operations management solution with automated dispatch functionality.

In December 2019, we received PCI (Payment Card Industry) Level 1 certification for our technology, our security, privacy, reliability and other aspects of our payment infrastructure. The PCI Security Standards Council is a global organization that maintains, evolves and promotes Payment Card Industry standards for the safety of cardholder data across the globe. PCI Compliance Level 1 allows us to process transactions at unlimited volumes.

Table of Contents

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

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

When consumers use credit/debit cards to pay for transactions with merchants who use our ecosystem, the transaction starts with the consumer purchasing tokens from us. The tokens are purchased or granted directly from the merchant's terminals or mobile app, or from our website and are immediately available for transactions.

The issuance of tokens is accomplished when we load a virtual wallet with a token, which then transfers credits to the merchant’s wallet on a dollar for dollar basis, after which the merchant releases its goods or services to the consumer. These transfers take place instantaneously and seamlessly, allowing the transaction experience to seem like any other ordinary credit/debit card transaction to the consumer and merchant.

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

We believe our primary revenue driver in fiscal year 2021 will be the release and utilization of our Gen3 platform. We believe Gen3 is the most advanced technology released in the space to date. The latest installment of our technology, Gen3 features the following new properties: 1. Banking white label platform; 2. Payment Facilitation management platform; 3. Stablecoin platform support; 4. Payment platform; and 5. Ledger Secure Token Technology. We believe Gen3’s holistic end to end capabilities minimize user pain points in onboarding, transactions and offboarding.

One of the most effective ways by which this technology becomes accretive to us in acquiring new customers is by the usage of Gen3’s new blockchain provenance modules. These modules allow us to eliminate manual onboarding of new customers. Due to this accelerated onboarding, these modules, first deployed by us in October 2020, were material in increasing our processing volume in the fourth quarter of 2020 to $131 million in gross processing volume. Of the $131 million, $84 million was processed in December alone, with net revenues for the month of December in excess of $1 million for net margins of approximately 1.5%.

In addition, Gen3 is the transactional foundation for the new Secure Token Technology we are now deploying and which we expect to be fully available within the next three (3) months.

Currency has two primary roles: it can be transactional, or it can be custodial (reserve). US dollars plays both roles. There are several disadvantages encapsulated within the existing cryptocurrency architectures available today. A decentralized approach makes the crypto assets available for viewing from anywhere and at any time, but they are extremely volatile, hackable, slow to settle, and have no intrinsic value. For the most part, they have a lot of transaction friction, in both time to settlement and transactional or conversion costs. As such, we believe these are not assets suitable as transactional currency, and are questionable as custodial currency. Centralized deployments can be stable (commonly called stablecoin), and are better as custodial media; however, none is attached to a transactional ecosystem, and exchange fees are still high. The USDC, a coin that is a USD digital equivalent, is an example of that.

We have introduced a new kind of media to the mix: Secure Token Technology which we expect to be fully available within the next three (3) months. This token will not be not minted nor mined, but rather it is the equivalent of a contract (an asset class called Smart Contract). As such, Secure Token Technology has many advantages over all other coins and token, and deliver on the features most sought after in the crypto and legacy payment space:

It provides instant settlement;

It is highly secure, since the asset and its value are not held together (asset is decentrally visible but its value is in centralized cold storage);

It is deletable – the token can be cancelled;

It is reversible (undo-able) allowing for chargebacks in the case of a bad transaction. This allows the token to be kept alive for another transaction by the same user;

It provides instant liquidity;

It is attached to a regulated custodial account. The custodian will be a regulated bank. And the custodial account will be continuously audited to ensure it has a large enough cash balance to back all tokens in circulation; and

It is attached to our transactional infrastructure. This allows for the token to be usable for instant purchases, which we believe is an advantage for the merchants. These purchases, in turn, generate processing volume for us.

We believe our Gen3 stabilized platform will be a top choice for banks, e-commerce, and consumers. As a stablecoin platform, it is also the only type of blockchain payment processing platform that the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency has authorized for use by banks in a similar fashion to ACH, Wire and Swift. Because Secure Token Technology is attached to the value of the US dollar, it is also very good as a custodial vehicle, fitting the needs of low-risk yield seekers, such as pension funds and retirement accounts. We believe our Gen3 stabilized platform, in its stabilized end-to-end deployment, is the obvious tool of choice, without any meaningful competition, for both transactional and custodial roles of currency, and will appeal to various stakeholders: consumers, merchants, banks, and the regulators.

The Company, as of March 22, 2021, has a Payment Facilitator License. The license is necessary for us to facilitate card payments for our clients to process Visa , MasterCard, AmEx, and Discover Card purchases.

We have one pending U.S. patent application, USSN 16/212,627, which was filed on December 6, 2018, and which claims priority to five provisional applications filed between December 6 and December 11, 2017. We halted the patent process in April 2020 as we have been utilizing and developing new technology since that date.

Competition

Customers

We currently process transactions for approximately 4,000 customers in over twenty-five (25) industries, including, but not limited to, the foreign exchange, retail, and e-commerce sectors. We do not rely on any one customer for more than 5% of our processing volume or revenue.

Employees and Human Capital

We currently have 18 full-time employees. None of our employees are subject to collective bargaining agreements. We consider our relationship with our employees to be good.

Our human capital resources objectives include, as applicable, identifying, recruiting, retaining, incentivizing and integrating our existing and new employees, advisors and consultants. The principal purposes of our equity incentive plan is to attract, retain and reward personnel through the granting of stock-based compensation awards, in order to increase stockholder value and the success of our company by motivating such individuals to perform to the best of their abilities and achieve our objectives.

Recent Developments

Convertible Debentures

On October 27, 2020, the Company issued convertible debentures in the principal amount of $3,850,000 to various lenders through its placement agent, Kingswood Capital Markets, division of Benchmark Investments, Inc. (“Kingswood”). The debentures are due July 27, 2021 (the “Maturity Date”) with a conversion price of $1.98 per share. The debentures included an original issue discount of $350,000, such that the gross proceeds to the Company equaled $3,500,000. In connection with the closing of the offering, warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,944,444 shares of common stock were issued to the lender with an exercise price of $1.98 per share.

From January 1, 2021 through March 22, 2021, the Company has issued (or is processing the issuance of) 1,944,444 shares of common stock following the conversion of all of the Convertible Debentures issued in October 2020. The principal amount that has been converted is $3,850,000. During the same period, the Company has issued (or is processing the issuance of) 1,944,444 shares of common stock following the exercise of warrants issued in connection with the Convertible Debentures issuance. The Company received gross proceeds of $3,850,000 as a result of the warrant exercises. There are no longer any Convertible Debentures or October 2020 warrants outstanding.

ChargeSavvy Non-Binding MOU

On January 25, 2021, the Company issued a press release announcing it had entered into a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding to acquire ChargeSavvy LLC, a financial technology company specializing in payment processing and POS systems, for total consideration of up to $52 million in restricted shares of the Company’s common stock with $31 million of that all-shares amount due upon closing. ChargeSavvy was, until August 2020, one of the largest ISOs that we utilized in our ecosystem. The transaction assumes a per share price of $12.00. The all-stock transaction is subject to the negotiation and signing of definitive transaction documents, the completion of an audit of ChargeSavvy’s financial statements, and customary closing conditions. Kenneth Haller, our Senior Vice President of Payment Systems and the owner of 7.11% of the Company’s shares of common stock, owns 68.8% of ChargeSavvy.

Simultaneous Reverse Stock Split and Reduction in Authorized Shares of Common Stock

On February 16, 2021, the Company filed a Certificate of Change pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) 78.209 with the Nevada Secretary of State to effect a reverse stock split of the shares of common stock outstanding and the proportional decrease of the Company’s authorized shares of common stock at a ratio of one-for-six (the “Stock Split”).

The Stock Split was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company pursuant to Section 78.207 of the NRS on February 4, 2021 and, pursuant to the Certificate of Change, became effective as of 12:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on February 17, 2021 (the “Effective Time”). No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Stock Split and all such fractional interests were rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares of common stock. The Company now has 82,500,000 shares of common stock authorized (the number of authorized shares of preferred stock remains 5,000,000). The conversion or exercise prices of our issued and outstanding convertible securities, stock options and warrants were adjusted accordingly.

Underwritten Public Offering and Nasdaq Listing

On February 16, 2021, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Kingswood, as representative of the underwriters listed therein (the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to the Underwriters in a firm commitment underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) an aggregate of 4,150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a public offering price of $10.50 per share. In addition, the Underwriters were granted an over-allotment option (the “Over-allotment Option”) for a period of 45 days to purchase up to an additional 622,500 shares of Common Stock. The Common Stock began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol GBOX on February 17, 2021. The gross proceeds from the Offering were approximately $50.11 million as the Representative exercised in full its over-allotment option, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company also granted Kingswood a right of first refusal, for a period of 12 months from the commencement of the Offering, to act as sole investment banker, sole book-runner, and/or sole placement agent, at Kingswood’s sole discretion, for each and every future public and private equity, equity-linked or debt offering, including all equity linked financings undertaken during such period by the Company, or any of the Company’s successors or subsidiaries.

Item 1A – Risk Factors

An investment in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. Investing in shares of our Common Stock involves risks. Before making a decision to invest in shares of our Common Stock, you should carefully consider the risks that are described in this section and in the other information that we file from time to time with the SEC. You should also read the sections entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” on page 9 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Additional risks not presently known or that we currently deem immaterial could also materially and adversely affect us. You should consult your own financial and legal advisors as to the risks entailed by an investment in shares of our Common Stock and the suitability of investing in our shares in light of your particular circumstances. If any of the risks contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K develop into actual events, our assets, business, cash flows, condition (financial or otherwise), credit quality, financial performance, liquidity, long-term performance goals, prospects, and/or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected, the trading price of our Common Stock could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment.

Risks Related to Our Company

We have a limited operating history and may not be able to operate our business successfully or generate sufficient revenue to make or sustain distributions to our shareholders. As a result, our management has identified and our auditors agreed that there is a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

We became a public company and changed our business model in April 2018, and our current business has a relatively limited operating history. Historical results are not indicative of, and may be substantially different than, the results we achieve in the future. We cannot assure you that we will be able to operate our business successfully or implement our operating policies and strategies. The results of our operations depend on several factors, our success in attracting and retaining motivated and qualified personnel, the availability of adequate short and long-term financing, conditions in the financial markets, and general economic conditions. In addition, our future operating results and financial data may vary materially from the historical operating results and financial data as well as the pro forma operating results and financial data because of a number of factors, including costs and expenses associated with being a public company.

The loss of key personnel or the inability of replacements to quickly and successfully perform in their new roles could adversely affect our business.

We depend on the leadership and experience of our relatively small number of key executive management personnel, particularly our Chairman of the Board of Directors (the “Board”), Executive Vice President, Principal Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, Ben Errez, and our Director and Chief Executive Officer, Fredi Nisan. The loss of the services of any of these key executives or any of our executive management members could have a material adverse effect on our business and prospects, as we may not be able to find suitable individuals to replace such personnel on a timely basis or without incurring increased costs, or at all. Furthermore, if we lose or terminate the services of one or more of our key employees or if one or more of our current or former executives or key employees joins a competitor or otherwise competes with us, it could impair our business and our ability to successfully implement our business plan. Additionally, if we are unable to hire qualified replacements for our executive and other key positions in a timely fashion, our ability to execute our business plan would be harmed. Even if we can quickly hire qualified replacements, we would expect to experience operational disruptions and inefficiencies during any transition. We believe that our future success will depend on our continued ability to attract and retain highly skilled and qualified personnel. There is a high level of competition for experienced, successful personnel in our industry. Our inability to meet our executive staffing requirements in the future could impair our growth and harm our business.

Merchants could be slow in adopting our Gen3 platform, and our inability to overcome this hesitation could limit the market acceptance of our products and our market share.

Our Gen3 platform represents relatively new technology in the payment processing market. Our future success will depend on our ability to increase merchant demand for our products by demonstrating to a broad spectrum of potential merchants the potential performance advantages of our Gen3 platform, and our inability to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Table of Contents

Factors that could inhibit adoption of our Gen3 platforms include cost and concerns about the and reliability of the technology. Absent an immediate competitive motivation, a merchant may not feel compelled to invest the time required to learn about the potential benefits of using our platform. In addition, economic pressure, caused, for example, by an economic slowdown, could make mercahnts reluctant to invest in new technologies.

Our executive officers, directors, and principal shareholders maintain the ability to control substantially all matters submitted to shareholders for approval.

As of March 22, 2021, our executive officers, directors, and shareholders who owned more than 5% of our outstanding Common Stock, in the aggregate, beneficially owned 23,983,601 shares of Common Stock representing approximately 57.54% of our outstanding capital stock. As a result, if these shareholders were to choose to act together, they would be able to control substantially all matters submitted to our shareholders for approval, as well as our management and affairs. For example, these persons, if they choose to act together, would control the election of directors and approval of any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. This concentration of voting power could delay or prevent an acquisition of us on terms that other shareholders may desire.

Our financial statements may be materially affected if our estimates prove to be inaccurate as a result of our limited experience in making critical accounting estimates.

Financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP require the use of estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. These estimates, judgments, and assumptions are inherently uncertain, and, if they prove to be wrong, then we face the risk that charges to income will be required. In addition, because we have limited to no operating history and limited experience in making these estimates, judgments, and assumptions, the risk of future charges to income may be greater than if we had more experience in these areas. Any such charges could significantly harm our business, financial condition, results of operations, and the price of our securities.

We may require additional financing to sustain or grow our operations.

Our growth will be dependent on our ability to access additional equity and debt capital. Moreover, part of our business strategy may involve the use of debt financing to increase potential revenues. Our inability in the future to obtain additional equity capital or a corporate credit facility on attractive terms, or at all, could adversely impact our ability to execute our business strategy, which could adversely affect our growth prospects and future shareholder returns.

We may not realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions or investments in joint ventures, or those benefits may be delayed or reduced in their realization.

Acquisitions and investments are likely to be a component of our growth and the development of our business, in the future. Acquisitions can broaden and diversify our product concepts. In reviewing potential acquisitions or investments, we target assets or companies that we believe offer attractive products or offerings, the ability for us to leverage our offerings, competencies, or other synergies.

The combination of two independent businesses is a complex, costly, and time-consuming process that will require significant management attention and resources. The integration process may disrupt the businesses and, if implemented ineffectively, would limit the expected benefits of the acquisition. The failure to meet the challenges involved in integrating businesses and realizing the anticipated benefits could cause an interruption of, or a loss of momentum in, our activities and could adversely affect our results of operations. The overall integration of the businesses may result in material unanticipated problems, expenses, liabilities, competitive responses, loss of customer and other business relationships, and diversion of management’s attention. The difficulties of combining the operations of the companies include, among others:

	●	the diversion of management’s attention to integration matters;
	●	difficulties in achieving anticipated cost savings, synergies, business opportunities, and growth prospects from the combination;
	●	difficulties in the integration of operations and systems; and
	●	conforming standards, controls, procedures, accounting and other policies, business cultures, and compensation structures between the two companies.

We cannot be certain that the products and offerings of companies we may acquire, or acquire an interest in, will achieve or maintain popularity with consumers in the future or that any such acquired companies or investments will allow us to more effectively market our products, develop our competencies or to grow our business. In some cases, we expect that the integration of the companies that we may acquire into our operations will create production, marketing and other operating, revenue or cost synergies which will produce greater revenue growth and profitability and, where applicable, cost savings, operating efficiencies and other advantages. However, we cannot be certain that these synergies, efficiencies and cost savings will be realized. Even if achieved, these benefits may be delayed or reduced in their realization. In other cases, we may acquire or invest in companies that we believe have strong and creative management, in which case we may plan to operate them more autonomously rather than fully integrating them into our operations. We cannot be certain that the key talented individuals at these companies would continue to work for us after the acquisition or that they would develop popular and profitable products, entertainment or services in the future. We cannot guarantee that any acquisition or investment we may make will be successful or beneficial, and acquisitions can consume significant amounts of management attention and other resources, which may negatively impact other aspects of our business.

Our operating results may fluctuate significantly as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control, which could cause fluctuations in the price of our securities.

We are subject to the following factors that may negatively affect our operating results:

●

our ability to upgrade and develop our systems and infrastructure to accommodate growth;

●

our ability to attract and retain key personnel in a timely and cost-effective manner;

●

technical difficulties;

●

the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures relating to the expansion of our business, operations, and infrastructure;

●

our ability to identify and enter into relationships with appropriate and qualified third-party providers for necessary development and manufacturing services;

●

regulation by federal, state, or local governments;

●

general economic conditions, as well as economic conditions specific to the entertainment, theme park, party items, arts and crafts, and packaging industries; and

●

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

As a result of our lack of any operating history and the nature of the markets in which we compete, it is difficult for us to forecast our revenues or earnings accurately. As a strategic response to changes in the competitive environment, we may from time to time make certain decisions concerning expenditures, pricing, service, or marketing that could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Due to the foregoing factors, our quarterly revenues and operating results are difficult to forecast.

Low demand for new products and the inability to develop and introduce new products at favorable margins could adversely impact our performance and prospects for future growth.

Our competitive advantage is due in part to our ability to develop and introduce new products in a timely manner at favorable margins. The uncertainties associated with developing and introducing new products, such as market demand and costs of development and production, may impede the successful development and introduction of new products on a consistent basis. Introduction of new technology may result in higher costs to us than that of the technology replaced. That increase in costs, which may continue indefinitely or until increased demand and greater availability in the sources of the new technology drive down its cost, could adversely affect our results of operations. Market acceptance of the new products introduced in recent years and scheduled for introduction in future years may not meet sales expectations due to various factors, such as the failure to accurately predict market demand, end-user preferences, evolving industry standards, or the emergence of new or disruptive technologies. Moreover, the ultimate success and profitability of the new products may depend on our ability to resolve technical and technological challenges in a timely and cost-effective manner. Our investments in productive capacity and commitments to fund advertising and product promotions in connection with these new products could erode profits if those expectations are not met.

We are increasingly dependent on information technology, and potential cyberattacks, security problems, or other disruption and expanding social media vehicles present new risks.

We rely on information technology networks and systems, including the internet, to process, transmit, and store electronic information, and to manage or support a variety of business processes, including financial transactions and records, billing, and operating data. We may purchase some of our information technology from vendors, on whom our systems will depend, and we rely on commercially available systems, software, tools, and monitoring to provide security for processing, transmission, and storage of confidential operator and other customer information. We depend upon the secure transmission of this information over public networks. Our networks and storage applications could be subject to unauthorized access by hackers or others through cyberattacks, which are rapidly evolving and becoming increasingly sophisticated, or by other means, or may be breached due to operator error, malfeasance or other system disruptions. In some cases, it will be difficult to anticipate or immediately detect such incidents and the damage they cause. Any significant breakdown, invasion, destruction, interruption, or leakage of information from our systems could harm our business.

Further, in the normal course of our business, we collect, store and transmit proprietary and confidential information regarding our customers, employees, and others, including personally identifiable information. An operational failure or breach of security from increasingly sophisticated cyber threats could lead to loss, misuse or unauthorized disclosure of this information about our employees or customers, which may result in regulatory or other legal proceedings, and have a material adverse effect on our business. We also may not have the resources or technical sophistication to anticipate or prevent rapidly-evolving types of cyber-attacks. Any such attacks or precautionary measures taken to prevent anticipated attacks may result in increasing costs, including costs for additional technologies, training and third party consultants. The losses incurred from a breach of data security and operational failures as well as the precautionary measures required to address this evolving risk may adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Privacy regulation is an evolving area and compliance with applicable privacy regulations may increase our operating costs or adversely impact our ability to service our clients and market our products and services.

Because we store, process and use data, some of which contains personal information, we are subject to complex and evolving federal, state, and foreign laws and regulations regarding privacy, data protection, and other matters. While we believe we are currently in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, many of these laws and regulations are subject to change and uncertain interpretation, and could result in investigations, claims, changes to our business practices, increased cost of operations, and declines in user growth, retention, or engagement, any of which could seriously harm our business.

Data privacy and security concerns relating to our technology and our practices could cause us to incur significant liability, and deter current and potential users from using our products and services. Software bugs or defects, security breaches, and attacks on our systems could result in the improper disclosure and use of user data and interference with our users’ ability to use our products and services, harming our business operations.

Concerns about our practices with regard to the collection, use, disclosure, or security of personal information or other data-privacy-related matters, even if unfounded, could harm our financial condition, and operating results. Our policies and practices may change over time as expectations regarding privacy and data change. Our products and services involve the storage and transmission of proprietary information, and bugs, theft, misuse, defects, vulnerabilities in our products and services, and security breaches expose us to a risk of loss of this information, improper use and disclosure of such information, litigation, and other potential liability. Systems and control failures, security breaches and/or inadvertent disclosure of user data could result in government and legal exposure, seriously harm our business, and impair our ability to attract and retain customers.

We may experience cyber-attacks and other attempts to gain unauthorized access to our systems. We may experience future security issues, whether due to employee error or malfeasance or system errors or vulnerabilities in our or other parties’ systems, which could result in significant legal and financial exposure. We may be unable to anticipate or detect attacks or vulnerabilities or implement adequate preventative measures. Attacks and security issues could also compromise trade secrets and other sensitive information, harming our business. As a result, we may suffer significant legal or financial exposure, which could harm our business, financial condition, and operating results.

Prolonged economic downturn, particularly in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, could adversely affect our business.

Uncertain global economic conditions, in particular in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, could adversely affect our business. The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted some of our clients as they saw reductions in revenues due to business closures which caused our processing volume to go down. Negative global and national economic trends, such as decreased consumer and business spending, high unemployment levels and declining consumer and business confidence, pose challenges to our business and could result in declining revenues, profitability and cash flow. Although we continue to devote significant resources to support our brands, unfavorable economic conditions may negatively affect demand for our products.

We could face substantial competition, which could reduce our market share and negatively impact our net revenue.

Although we believe there is currently no other company in the payment facilitator industry using, as we are, blockchain infrastructure, notable companies in the payment facilitator industry include PayPal, Stripe, and Square. Many of our payment facilitator competitors are significantly larger than we are and have considerably greater financial, technical, marketing, and other resources than we do. Some competitors may have a lower cost of funds and access to funding sources that are not available to us. We cannot assure you that the competitive pressures we face will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Third-party claims of infringement against us could adversely affect our ability to market our products and require us to redesign our products or seek licenses from third parties.

We are susceptible to intellectual property lawsuits that could cause us to incur substantial costs, pay substantial damages, or prohibit us from distributing our products. Whether a product infringes a patent involves complex legal and factual issues, the determination of which is often uncertain. In addition, because patent applications can take many years to issue, there may be applications now pending of which we are unaware, which later may result in issued patents that our products may infringe. If any of our products infringe a valid patent, we could be prevented from distributing that product unless and until we can obtain a license or redesign it to avoid infringement. A license may not be available or may require us to pay substantial royalties. We also may not be successful in any attempt to redesign the product to avoid any infringement. Infringement and other intellectual property claims, with or without merit, can be expensive and time-consuming to litigate, and we may not have the financial and human resources to defend ourselves against any infringement suits that may be brought against us.

We may employ individuals who were previously employed by companies that are developing blockchain or cryptocurrency products and technology, including our competitors or potential competitors. To the extent our employees are involved in research areas which are similar to those areas in which they were involved at their former employers, we may be subject to claims that such employees and/or we have inadvertently or otherwise used or disclosed the alleged trade secrets or other proprietary information of the former employers. Litigation may be necessary to defend against such claims, which could result in substantial costs and be a distraction to management and which may have a material adverse effect on us, even if we are successful in defending such claims.

We also rely in our business on trade secrets, know-how and other proprietary information. We seek to protect this information, in part, through the use of confidentiality agreements with employees, consultants, advisors and others. Nonetheless, we cannot assure you that those agreements will provide adequate protection for our trade secrets, know-how or other proprietary information and prevent their unauthorized use or disclosure. To the extent that consultants, key employees or other third parties apply technological information independently developed by them or by others to our proposed products, disputes may arise as to the proprietary rights to such information which may not be resolved in our favor. Most of our consultants are employed by or have consulting agreements with third parties and any inventions discovered by such individuals generally will not become our property. There is a risk that other parties may breach confidentiality agreements or that our trade secrets become known or independently discovered by competitors, which could adversely affect us.

We face risks related to Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) which could significantly disrupt our research and development, operations, sales, and financial results.

Our business will be adversely impacted by the effects of the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19). In addition to global macroeconomic effects, the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak and any other related adverse public health developments will cause disruption to our operations and sales activities. In addition, the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) or other disease outbreak will in the short-run and may over the longer term adversely affect the economies and financial markets of many countries, resulting in an economic downturn that will affect demand for our products and services and impact our operating results. There can be no assurance that any decrease in sales resulting from the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) will be offset by increased sales in subsequent periods. Although the magnitude of the impact of the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak on our business and operations remains uncertain, the continued spread of the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) or the occurrence of other epidemics and the imposition of related public health measures and travel and business restrictions will adversely impact our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows. In addition, we have experienced and will experience disruptions to our business operations resulting from quarantines, self-isolations, or other movement and restrictions on the ability of our employees to perform their jobs that may impact our ability to develop and design our products and services in a timely manner or meet required milestones or customer commitments.

It may be illegal now, or in the future, to participate in blockchains or utilize similar digital assets in one or more countries, the ruling of which would adversely affect us.

Although currently cryptocurrencies and blockchain-based solutions generally are not regulated or are lightly regulated in most countries, one or more countries such as China and Russia may take regulatory actions in the future that could severely restrict the right to acquire, own, hold, sell or use these digital assets or to exchange for fiat currency. Such restrictions may adversely affect us. Such circumstances could have a material adverse effect on our ability to continue as a going concern or to pursue our new strategy at all, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects or operations.

The development and acceptance of competing blockchain platforms or technologies may cause consumers to use alternative distributed ledgers or other alternatives.

The development and acceptance of competing blockchain platforms or technologies may cause consumers to use alternative distributed ledgers or an alternative to distributed ledgers altogether. This may adversely affect us and our exposure to various blockchain technologies and prevent us from realizing the anticipated profits from our investments. Such circumstances could have a material adverse effect on our ability to continue as a going concern or to pursue our new strategy at all, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects or operations.

Litigation may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

From time to time in the normal course of our business operations, we may become subject to litigation involving intellectual property, data privacy and security, consumer protection, commercial disputes and other matters that may negatively affect our operating results if changes to our business operation are required. We may also be subject to a variety of claims including product warranty, product liability, and consumer protection claims related to product defects, among other litigation. We may also be subject to claims involving health and safety, other environmental impacts, or service disruptions or failures. The cost to defend such litigation may be significant and may require a diversion of our resources. There also may be adverse publicity associated with litigation that could negatively affect customer perception of our business, regardless of whether the allegations are valid or whether we are ultimately found liable. As a result, litigation may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, insurance may not cover existing or future claims, be sufficient to fully compensate us for one or more of such claims, or continue to be available on terms acceptable to us. A claim brought against us that is uninsured or underinsured could result in unanticipated costs, thereby adversely affecting our results of operations and resulting in a reduction in the trading price of our stock.

Recent Issuance of Unregistered Securities

We had no sales of unregistered securities in 2020 that have not been previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q other than following:

We sold 999,996 shares to nine (9) investors in August 2020 for a total purchase price of $810,000. We claimed exemption from registration under the Securities Act for the sales and issuances of these securities under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder, in that such sales and issuances did not involve a public offering. All of the purchasers of unregistered securities for which we relied on Section 4(a)(2) and/or Regulation D represented that they were accredited investors as defined under the Securities Act. We claimed such exemption on the basis that (a) the purchasers in each case represented that they intended to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view to the distribution thereof and that they either received adequate information about the registrant or had access, through employment or other relationships, to such information and (b) appropriate legends were affixed to the stock certificates issued in such transactions.

Net Revenue

Net revenue decreased by $1,477,842 or 4.4%, to $8,525,015 in the current year from $10,002,857 in the previous year. The decrease was due to ChargeSavvy (an entity majority owned by Kenneth Haller, our Senior Vice President of Payment Systems), one of the largest ISOs, exiting our ecosystem in August 2020. That volume was transferred to an alternative ISO and processing gateway. In addition, we placed a high priority towards completion of compliance and integration with Fiserv, one of our largest accounts, and we pushed to expedite the development and future release of our Gen3 platform.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue decreased by $6,265,553, or 56.5%, to $4,825,587 in current year from $11,091,140 in previous year. Payment processing consists of various processing fees paid to Gateways, as well as commission payments to the ISOs responsible for establishing and maintaining merchant relationships, from which the processing transactions ensue. Most orders are delivered directly to the customer, without any handling, storage or processing by us. We had a reduction in cost of revenue in 2020 as a result of increased processing efficiency and decreased cost to scale. The Company’s Gen3 technology, released in the first quarter of 2021, is further designed to impact the Company’s cost of revenues and is projected to materially increase the Company’s operating margins significantly and positively.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses increased by $4,280,544, or 94.6%, to $8,803,754 in current year from $4,523,210 in previous year. The increase was primarily due to the following:

●

Increase in stock compensation expense of approximately $1,773,000 due to adoption and issuances of stock options;

●

Increase in professional fees of approximately $665,000 for investor relations;

●

Increase due to shares issued for services in the amount of approximately $1,200,000; and

●

Increase in payroll of approximately $367,000 due to increase in headcount.

Non-Operating Expenses

The Company incurred interest expense related to various debt in the amount of $359,493 and $604,504 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company incurred a loss from changes in fair value of derivative liability and derivative expense of $1,025,135 and $1,050,063 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. The Company recorded income from merchant fines and penalties in the amount of $2,630,796 and $2,776,687 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our working capital for the periods presented is summarized as follows:

Cash Requirements

We incurred a working capital (deficit) of $278,441 and $(4,429,424) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Based on our revenues, operational expenses, cash on hand and future operational needs, we will need to continue procuring capital from external sources, which may include equity, debt or hybrid financing, in order to fund operations.

Cash Flow

Net increase (decrease) in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash	$	1,069,625		$	478,132

Table of Contents

Operating Activities – For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, net cash used in operating activities was $(4,1,60,678) and $(1,601,851), respectively, was primarily due to net loss and timing of settlement of assets and liabilities and net loss of the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Investing Activities – For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, net cash used in investing activities was $(6,649) and $(49,795), respectively, primarily due to cash used for purchases of property and equipment.

Financing Activities – For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, net provided by financing activities was $5,236,952 and $684,671, respectively, primarily due to borrowings and repayments of long-term and short-term borrowings, convertible debt, and proceeds from issuances of common stock.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in the our financial statements and the accompanying notes. 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, the accounting for revenue recognition, stock based compensation and the valuation of deferred taxes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The following critical accounting policies are significantly affected by judgments, assumptions and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements:

Revenue Recognition

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 monthly over the period of the licensing agreement.
	●	Equipment revenue is generated from the sale of POS products, which is recognized when goods are shipped. The equipment revenue was not material.

Cash Due from Gateways and Payment Processing Liabilities

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

In 2020 and 2019 the Company utilized several gateways. The gateways have strict guidelines pertaining to scheduling of the release of funds to merchants based on several criteria, such as return and chargeback history, associated risk for the specific business vertical, average transaction amount and so on. In order to mitigate processing risks, these policies determine reserve requirements and payment in arear strategy. While reserve and payment in arear restrictions are in effect for a merchant payout, the Company records gateway debt against these amounts until released.

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

None.

Item 9A – Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Based on management's evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President concluded that, as a result of the material weaknesses described below, as of December 31, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures are not designed at a reasonable assurance level and are ineffective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The material weaknesses, which relate to internal control over financial reporting, that were identified are:

We did not have enough personnel in our accounting and financial reporting functions. As a result, we were not able to achieve adequate segregation of duties and were not able to provide for adequate reviewing of the financial statements. This control deficiency, which is pervasive in nature, results in a reasonable possibility that material misstatements of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Management believes that the hiring of additional personnel who have the technical expertise and knowledge with the non-routine or technical issues we have encountered in the past will result in both proper recording of these transactions and a much more knowledgeable finance department as a whole. Due to the fact that our accounting staff consists of a Principal Financial Officer, a bookkeeper and external accounting consultants, additional personnel will also ensure the proper segregation of duties and provide more checks and balances within the department. Additional personnel will also provide the cross training needed to support us if personnel turnover issues within the department occur. We believe this will eliminate or greatly decrease any control and procedure issues we may encounter in the future.

We will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Exchange Act that occurred during the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2020 that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Management's report on internal control over financial reporting.

Our Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2020 for the reasons discussed above.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of GreenBox POS:

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of GreenBox POS (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the two years in the period ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes and schedules (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the two years in the period ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Revenue recognition — identification of contractual terms in certain customer arrangements

As described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, management assesses relevant contractual terms in its customer arrangements to determine the transaction price and recognizes revenue upon transfer of control of the promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services. Management applies judgment in determining the transaction price which is dependent on the contractual terms. In order to determine the transaction price, management may be required to estimate variable consideration when determining the amount and timing of revenue recognition.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the identification of contractual terms in customer arrangements to determine the transaction price is a critical audit matter are there was significant judgment by management in identifying contractual terms due to the volume and customized nature of the Company’s customer arrangements. This in turn led to significant effort in performing our audit procedures which were designed to evaluate whether the contractual terms used in the determination of the transaction price and the timing of revenue recognition were appropriately identified and determined by management and to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s estimates.

F-1

Table of Contents

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the revenue recognition process, including those related to the identification of contractual terms in customer arrangements that impact the determination of the transaction price and revenue recognition. These procedures also included, among others, (i) testing the completeness and accuracy of management’s identification of the contractual terms by examining customer arrangements on a test basis, and (ii) testing management’s process for determining the appropriate amount and timing of revenue recognition based on the contractual terms identified in the customer arrangements.

Valuation of Accounts Receivable

As described in Note 3 to the financial statements, an allowance for doubtful accounts is established and recorded based on management’s assessment of the credit history of its customers or stores and current relationships with them. The Company writes off accounts receivable when amounts are deemed uncollectible. The assessment gives consideration to overall market conditions, customer credit history and current relationship with it, client’s current performance, and conditions of stores. The assessment also includes certain legal proceedings the Company filed against customers, as described in Note 15 to the financial statements.

The principal considerations for our determination that auditing management’s assessment of allowance for doubtful accounts is a critical audit matter are there was significant judgment made by management when considering factors in management’s assessment on collectability of the accounts receivables as described above, as well as the likelihood of the occurrence of these factors impacting the collectability. In turn, such management’s assessment led to challenging and subjective auditor judgment in performing our audit procedures.

Our audit procedures included, among others, understanding of controls relating to management assessment of accounts receivable allowance, interviewing customer account managers, examining transactions related documents, testing historical collections for estimation accuracy, and collections subsequent to the balance sheet date. Our procedures also included confirming balances with customers, searching public information for the operating and financial conditions of the customers, and interviewing the business contacts with the Company. To audit management’s assessment of collectability of accounts receivables in legal proceedings, we obtained relevant court documents, legal counsels’ opinions, and evaluating the sufficiency of the Company’s disclosures to legal proceedings.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organization

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

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

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

Name Change

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

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

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

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassification

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

Reverse Common Stock Split (6 to 1)

On February 17, 2021, the Company approved for reverse common stock split from 6 to 1. As a result, common shares information has been retrospectively restated accordingly in the financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

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

●

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

●

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

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

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Revenue Recognition

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provide guidance for presentation of revenue and for disclosure related to revenue recognition policies in financial statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Management believes the Company’s revenue recognition policies conform to ASC 606. The Company recognizes revenue when 1) it is realized or realizable and earned, 2) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, 3) delivery and performance has occurred, 4) there is a fixed or determinable sales price, and 5) collection is reasonably assured.

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

●

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 monthly over the period of the licensing agreement.

●

Equipment revenue is generated from the sale of POS products, which is recognized when goods are shipped.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Bad Debt

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses from the inability of customers to make required payments. The allowance for doubtful accounts is evaluated periodically based on the aging of accounts receivable, the financial condition of customers and their payment history, historical write-off experience and other assumptions, such as current assessment of economic conditions.

Property and Equipment

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

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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

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

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

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

The Company’s financial instruments consisted of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, advances to due to or from affiliated companies, notes payable to officers.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

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

Description	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3

Derivative liability – December 31, 2020	$	-	$	-	$	-
Derivative liability – December 31, 2019	$	-	$	-	$	1,050,063

Income Taxes

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

Long-Lived Asset Impairments

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

Earnings Per Share

A basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the year. Dilutive earnings per share include the effect of any potentially dilutive debt or equity under the treasury stock method, if including such instruments is dilutive. The Company’s diluted earnings/loss per share is the same as the basic earnings/loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, as there are no potential shares outstanding that would have a dilutive effect.

Leases

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

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

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

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

The adoption of ASC 842 resulted in recording an adjustment to operating lease right of use assets and operating lease liabilities as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. The difference between the operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities at transition represented tenant improvements, and indirect costs that was derecognized. The adoption of ASC 842 did not materially impact our results of operations, cash flows, or presentation thereof.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Recently Adopted Accounting Updates

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. This standard removes, modifies, and adds certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements, and is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU No. 2018-13 in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, coinciding with the standard’s effective date, and the adoption did not have any impact to the Company’s financial statements.

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

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This standard simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740, Income Taxes, while also clarifying and amending existing guidance, including interim-period accounting for enacted changes in tax law. This standard is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU No. 2019-12 in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and the adoption did not have any impact to the Company’s financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Updates

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)—Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This standard provides optional guidance for a limited time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. The amendments in this standard apply only to contracts and hedging relationships that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amendments do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022. The amendments in this standard are elective and are effective upon issuance for all entities. The Company is evaluating the expedients and exceptions provided by the amendments in this standard to determine their impact.

Other recently issued accounting updates are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

COVID-19 Impact on Concentration of Risk

The novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic has significantly impacted health and economic conditions throughout the United States and globally, as public concern about becoming ill with the virus has led to the issuance of recommendations and/or mandates from federal, state and local authorities to practice social distancing or self-quarantine.

A substantial amount of the Company’s inventory is manufactured abroad. COVID-19 has also impacted the Company’s supply chain for products sold, particularly those products that are sourced from China. To the extent one or more vendors is negatively impacted by COVID-19, including due to the closure of those vendors’ distribution centers or manufacturing facilities, the Company may be unable to maintain delivery schedules or adequate inventory in its stores.

SETTLEMENT PROCESSING

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

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

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

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

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

DERIVATIVE LIABILITY (Continued)

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

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

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

INCOME TAXES

The Company did not have income tax provision (benefit) due to net loss and deferred tax assets having a full valuation allowances as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

INCOME TAXES (Continued)

The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in ASC 740. Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had federal and California net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $3.2 million. The federal and California net operating loss carryforwards will expire at various dates from 2027 through 2029; however, $3.2 million of the Federal operating loss does not expire and will be carried forward indefinitely.

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company maintained full valuation allowance for net operating loss carryforward deferred tax asset. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be reduced if estimates of future taxable income are reduced.

The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return and files tax returns in various state and local jurisdictions. The statutes of limitations for its consolidated federal income tax returns are open for years 2017 and after, and state and local income tax returns are open for years 2016 and after.

The Company adopted the 2020 Incentive and Non-statutory Stock Option Plan (“2020 Plan”) in June 2020, which provided for the grant of incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options to our employees and directors. The 2020 Plan provides for up to 3.3 million shares of Common Stock. Options granted under the 2020 Plan generally have a term of ten years and generally vest and become exercisable at various times from the option grant dates. The 2020 Plan provide for the grant of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options and restricted stock to our employees, directors and independent contractors. These options will have such vesting or other provisions as may be established by the Board of Directors at the time of each grant.

The Company applies the provisions of ASC 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation,” using a modified prospective application, and the Black-Scholes model to value stock options. Under this application, the Company records compensation expense for all awards granted. Compensation costs will be recognized over the period that an employee provides service in exchange for the award.

The fair value of each share option award on the date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes method based on the following weighted-average assumptions:

	December 31, 2020
Risk-free interest rate		0.29	%
Expected term	5 years
Expected volatility		289.33% to 279.18	%
Expected dividend yield		—

The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods corresponding with the expected term of the option award; the expected term represents the weighted-average period of time that option awards granted are expected to be outstanding giving consideration to vesting schedules and historical participant exercise behavior; the expected volatility is based upon historical volatility of the Company’s common stock; and the expected dividend yield is based upon the Company’s dividend rate at the time fair value is measured and future expectations.

The Company recorded $1,773,368 and $0 compensation expenses recorded under this method for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Kenneth Haller and the Haller Companies

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

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (continued)

●

Kenneth Haller and the Haller Companies (continued)

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

Sky Financial & Intelligence, LLC – Haller owns 100% of Sky Financial & Intelligence LLC (“Sky”), a Wyoming limited liability company, and serves as its sole Managing Member. Sky is a strategic merchant services company that focuses on high risk merchants and international credit card processing solutions. In 2018, Sky was using GreenBox’s QuickCard payment system as its main payment processing infrastructure, through Sky’s relationship with MTrac (see Sky - MTrac Agreement above). It was through this successful relationship, that we came to know Haller and the Haller Network. Realizing that the Haller Network and Haller’s unique skill set was highly complementary to our business objectives, we commenced discussions to retain Haller through his consulting firm, Sky, for a senior role, directly responsible for growing GreenBox’s operations. Subsequently, in November 2018, Haller was appointed as our Senior Vice President of Payment Systems, for a monthly consulting fee of $10,000, paid to Sky (“Haller Consulting Fee”). This relationship was referenced in press releases as GreenBox’s “acquisition of Sky MIDs Technologies” (see Sky MIDs below). We accrued and/or paid Haller $55,365 in the quarter ending December 31, 2018, which included $30,000 in consulting fees and $23,365 in travel and relocation expense reimbursement. As our relationship with Haller / Sky is non-exclusive, Haller and the Haller Companies provide services to other companies, including those listed below. Any revenue generated by Haller and/or the Haller Companies through these other relationships is in addition to the Haller Consulting Fee.

■

Charge Savvy, LLC – Sky owns 68.4% of Charge Savvy, LLC (“Charge Savvy”), an Illinois limited liability company. Haller serves as one of three Managing Members of Charge Savvy, along with Higher Ground Capital, LLC (owns 14%), and Jeff Nickel (owns 17.4%). It is through Charge Savvy, that the Haller Network is most visible as part of our operations, as Charge Savvy is the ISO through which revenue generated from Haller Network Agents is processed, under a contract between Sky and MTrac, who in turn, has a contract with us. The three managing members of Charge Savvy own the same percentages of Cultivate (see below), as they do Charge Savvy.

■

Cultivate, LLC – Sky owns 68.4% of Cultivate, LLC (“Cultivate”), an Illinois limited liability company, and serves as one of three Managing Members, along with Higher Ground Capital, LLC (owns 14%), and Jeff Nickel (owns 17.4%). When Cultivate was first formed, it was the licensor of certain proprietary point of sale software, retail point of sale operations, and complementary support of Cultivate’s software and related hardware for on-site credit and debit card processing. Subsequently, Cultivate the entity became exclusively a software provider, ceasing all service and support operations. Eventually certain beneficial aspects of the Cultivate software functionality were integrated into QuickCard, then upgraded and replaced with certain updates. On or about May 4, 2018, Cultivate entered into a two year, Associate/Referral Agreement-E-Commerce with MTrac, wherein Cultivate agreed to promote MTrac’s solution payment platform and related services; to provide new sales, leads, merchants, ISO Agents, and other potential customers of MTrac services, for which Cultivate receives ongoing commissions from all credit card transactions processed as a result of new business generated by Cultivate for MTrac, who in turn has a contract with us. The Associate/Referral Agreement-E-Commerce between Cultivate and MTrac noted MTrac’s license of GreenBox’s payment processing technology, and contained terms whereby Cultivate could (but was not required to) refer certain customers to MTrac in exchange for various referral fees. Cultivate never referred customers to MTrac, and therefore, did not collect, and is not collecting, any referral fees from MTrac.

Sky Mids –Previous references in press releases issued by PubCo in or about August 2018 regarding a “Sky Mids Acquisition” are references to the non-exclusive working relationship between PrivCo (and subsequently, PubCo) and Sky / Haller. The designation “Sky MIDs” was a colloquial reference to Sky, based upon a Sky-owned and operated website, which is no longer in use. While an acquisition of Sky has not formally been executed, nor have we (nor subsequently, PubCo) executed a formal engagement with Haller nor Sky, previous statements regarding the nature of our relationship with Sky Mids, which include our beliefs in the advantages of this relationship, accurately represent the working relationship between the Company and Sky / Haller.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings

The Company has the following legal proceedings:

●

RB Capital Partners, Inc. – On April 24, 2019, RB Cap and related parties (the “RB Cap Parties”) filed a complaint in the San Diego Superior Court against PrivCo, PubCo, Ben Errez and Fredi Nisan (collectively, the “GreenBox Parties”); and on October 1, 2019, the RB Cap Parties filed an amended complaint against the GreenBox Parties alleging claims of fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract and other, related claims in the Superior Court for the State of California, County of San Diego. The GreenBox Parties filed a cross-complaint against the RB Capital Parties, alleging claims of fraud, breach of contract, tortious interference, and other, related claims. On or about December 15, 2019, the GreenBox Parties and RB Cap Parties resolved to negotiate a settlement and agreed in amount to settlements terms. The documentation of the settlement terms was underway as of February 3, 2020. This was dismissed by both parties on February 27, 2020.

●

Dahan – Yoram Dahan, Melissa Dahan, Forty8 Ltd., and Trustees of the Melissa H. Dahan Living Trust (collectively, “the Dahan Parties”) were also named by RB Capital in the suit listed in the previous paragraph. On October 31, 2019, the GreenBox Parties filed a cross-complaint against the Dahan Parties, alleging claims of fraud, securities fraud, misrepresentation, promissory estoppel, and other related claims, in the Superior Court for the State of California, County of San Diego. On or about December 15, 2019, the GreenBox Parties and the Dahan Parties resolved to negotiate a settlement and agreed in amount to settlements terms. The documentation of the settlement terms was underway as of February 3, 2020. This was dismissed by both parties on February 27, 2020.

●

Withholding Suit – On November 25, 2019, five companies (the “Plaintiffs”) filed a complaint against us, Global Payout, Inc., MTrac Tech Corporation and Cultivate Technologies, LLC (collectively the “Defendants”) in the Superior Court of the State of California. Plaintiffs filed suit to recover processed funds and processing fees alleged to be withheld illegally (collectively, the “Withholding Suit”). Pursuant to a mandatory arbitration clause in the controlling agreement, the parties to the Withholding Suit have agreed to arbitrate their claims. We do not dispute the funds owed; however, we do believe it’s within our rights to hold the funds, per the terms of agreements signed by Plaintiffs. We disagree with any allegations of any wrongdoing and will aggressively defend ourselves against the Withholding Suit. Ideally, we will settle this claim in the near term. While the results of this matter cannot be predicted with certainty, especially at this early stage, we believe that losses, if any, resulting from resolution of this matter will not have a materially adverse effect on operations or cash flow. This was dismissed by both parties as of March 30, 2020.

Operating Leases

The Company entered into the following operating facility lases:

●

Hyundai Rio Vista – On October 4, 2018, the Company entered into an operating facility lease for its corporate office located in San Diego with 38 months term and with option to renew. The lease started on October 4, 2018 and expires on October 3, 2021.

The Company entered into an operating lease for corporate location on October 4, 2018. Rent expense paid under the lease agreements for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $134,190 and for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $127,680.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (continued)

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

In accordance with ASC 842, the components of lease expense were as follows:

	December 31,
	2020		2019

Amortization of right-of-use assets	$	241	$	210
Operating lease expense		32,904		31,945

Total lease expense	$	33,145	$	32,155

In accordance with ASC 842, maturities and operating lease liabilities as of December 31, 2020 were as follows:

*Years ended December 31,*	*Amounts*

2021	$	95,026
2022		-
2023		-

Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company also granted Kingswood a right of first refusal, for a period of 12 months from the commencement of the Offering, to act as sole investment banker, sole book-runner, and/or sole placement agent, at Kingswood’s sole discretion, for each and every future public and private equity, equity-linked or debt offering, including all equity linked financings undertaken during such period by the Company, or any of the Company’s successors or subsidiaries.
