Note 7. Reverse Stock Split

 

On July 23, 2015, pursuant to shareholder and board approval, the Company effected a 1-for-15 reverse stock split of the outstanding common stock by filing a certificate of change with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada and obtaining approval by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. The number of our authorized common shares remained unchanged at 200,000,000 shares, par value $0.001 per share, after the reverse stock split. The number of our authorized preferred stock remains unchanged at 10,000,000 shares, par value $0.01 per share.

 

As a result of the reverse split, the Company issued 1,117 shares due to rounding of fractional shares because the Company agreed to issue to each shareholder a full share for any fractional shares that resulted from the reverse split.

 

All figures and calculations using a share count assuming the 1-for-15 reverse stock split even if the numbers were for a period prior to the reverse stock split.

 

 

 

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

 

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS DISCLAIMER

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the risks described in our annual report on Form 10-K and other reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, they relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. We do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this report to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations, except as required by law.

 

This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in this report, and our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, filed March 30, 2016, including the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes contained therein.

 

Overview

 

We provide integrated electronic payment processing services to merchants and businesses, including all types of Automated Clearing House, or ACH, processing, credit, prepaid card and debit card-based processing services. We also operate an online payment processing service, under the domain name www.billx.com system, which allows consumers to process online payments to pay any other individual, including family and friends. Through our recently acquired business Akimbo, under the domain name www.akimbocard.com, we offer Visa prepaid cards to consumers for use as a tool to stay on budget, manage allowances and share money with family and friends. The Akimbo MasterCard program became live on our processing platform in early April 2015. The Akimbo Visa card program was decommissioned of all services on May 30, 2015 and the card customers were transitioned to the Akimbo MasterCard card program. Since then we have further developed our Akimbo platform to include Akimbo Now for businesses, Akimbo Gift for consumers and support for Apple Pay™.

 

We reported a net loss of $32,002 for the first quarter of 2016 and net income of $1,016,088 for year ended December 31, 2015. Our credit card transaction processing volume and credit card dollars processed in the first quarter of 2016 increased 6% and 5%, respectively, over the same time period in 2015.

 

ACH (eCheck) transaction volume during first quarter of 2016 decreased 11% from the first quarter of 2015. Returned check transactions processed during first quarter of 2016 were down 28% over the same time period in 2015. Total dollars processed for the first quarter of 2016 exceeded $737 million.

 

Due to our strong sales pipeline, we believe the downward trend in ACH transactions processed will reverse in the second half of 2016 and early 2017. We also expect to see an increase in the number of enrolled merchant customers, for whom we provide processing for credit and debit card transactions, and we expect to add new clients from our sales pipeline, which we believe will create increased transaction volumes. We believe we will return to profitability we experienced in years 2015 and 2014 in the foreseeable future, but it is possible that we will not regain profitability. We may incur future operating losses. To regain and sustain profitability, we must, among other things, grow and maintain our customer base, implement a successful marketing strategy, continue to maintain and upgrade our technology and transaction-processing systems, provide superior customer service, respond to competitive developments, attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel, and respond to unforeseen industry developments and other factors. We believe that our success will depend in large part on our ability to (a) manage our operating expenses, (b) add quality customers to our client base, (c) meet evolving customer requirements and (d) adapt to technological changes in an emerging market. Accordingly, we intend to focus on customer acquisition activities and outsource some of our processing services to third parties to allow us to maintain an efficient operating infrastructure and expand our operations without significantly increasing our fixed operating expenses.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

General

 

Our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to the reported amounts of revenues and expenses, bad debt, investments, intangible assets, income taxes, and contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We consider the following accounting policies to be critical because the nature of the estimates or assumptions is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change or because the impact of the estimates and assumptions on financial condition or operating performance is material.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue consists primarily of fees generated through the electronic processing of payment transactions and related services, and is recognized as revenue during the period the transactions are processed or when the related services are performed. Merchants may be charged for these processing services at a bundled rate based on a percentage of the dollar amount of each transaction and, in some instances, additional fees are charged for each transaction. Certain merchant customers are charged a flat fee per transaction, while others may also be charged miscellaneous fees, including fees for chargebacks or returns, monthly minimums, and other miscellaneous services. Revenues derived from electronic processing of credit, debit, and prepaid card transactions that are authorized and captured through third-party networks are reported gross of amounts paid to sponsor banks as well as interchange and assessments paid to credit card associations (Visa, MasterCard and Discover). Revenue also includes any up-front fees for the work involved in implementing the basic functionality required to provide electronic payment processing services to a customer. Revenue from such implementation fees is recognized over the term of the related service contract. Sales taxes billed are reported directly as a liability to the taxing authority, and are not included in revenue.

 

Reserve for Processing Losses

 

If, due to insolvency or bankruptcy of one of our merchant customers, or for any other reason, we are not able to collect amounts from our credit card, ACH or prepaid customers that have been properly "charged back" by the customer, or if a prepaid cardholder incurs a negative balance, we must bear the credit risk for the full amount of the transaction. We may require cash deposits and other types of collateral from certain merchants to minimize any such risk. In addition, we utilize a number of systems and procedures to manage merchant risk. ACH, prepaid and credit card merchant processing loss reserves are primarily determined by performing a historical analysis of our loss experience and considering other factors that could affect that experience in the future, such as the types of transactions processed and nature of the merchant relationship with its consumers and our relationship with our prepaid card holders. This reserve amount is subject to the risk that actual losses may be greater than our estimates. We have not incurred any significant processing losses to date. Estimates for processing losses are variable based on the volume of transactions processed and could increase or decrease accordingly. At March 31, 2016 our reserve for processing losses was $248,868 and was the same at December 31, 2015.

 

Settlement Processing Assets and Obligations

 

Settlement processing assets and obligations represent intermediary balances arising in our settlement process for merchants. Funds settlement refers to the process of transferring funds for sales and credits between card issuers and merchants. For transactions processed on our systems, we use our internal network to provide funding instructions to financial institutions that in turn fund the merchants.

 

Restricted Cash

 

Restricted cash includes certain funds collected from our merchants that serve as collateral to minimize contingent liabilities associated with any losses that may occur under our agreement with the merchant. The funds may be used to offset any returned items or chargebacks to the Company and to indemnify the Company against third-party claims and any expenses that may be created by the customer as a result of any claim or fine. The Company may require the customer security deposit based on estimated transaction volumes, amounts and chargebacks and may revise the deposit based on periodic review of the same items. Repayment of the deposit to the customer is generally within 90 to 180 days beyond the date the last item is processed by the Company on behalf of the customer. The customer security deposit does not accrue interest to the benefit of the customer.

 

Bad Debts

 

We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability or failure of our customers to make required payments. We determine the allowance for doubtful accounts based on an account-by-account review, taking into consideration such factors as the age of the outstanding balance, historical pattern of collections and financial condition of the customer. Past losses incurred by us due to bad debts have been within our expectations. If the financial conditions of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make contractual payments, additional allowances might be required. Estimates for bad debt losses are variable based on the volume of transactions processed and could increase or decrease accordingly. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, our allowance for doubtful accounts was $33,773 and $35,033, respectively.

 

Valuation of Long-Lived and Intangible Assets

 

We assess the impairment of long-lived and intangible assets periodically, or at least annually, and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors considered important, which could trigger an impairment review, include the following: significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future cash flows; significant changes in the manner of use of the assets or the strategy of the overall business; and significant negative industry trends. When management determines that the carrying value of long-lived and intangible assets may not be recoverable, impairment is measured as the excess of the assets’ carrying value over the estimated fair value. No impairment losses were recorded in 2015 or during the three months ended March 31, 2016. Management is not aware of any impairment changes that may currently be required; however, we cannot predict the occurrence of events that might adversely affect the reported values in the future.

 

Income Taxes

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the difference between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured by the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are computed with the presumption that they will be realizable in future periods when taxable income is generated. Predicting the ability to realize these assets in future periods requires a great deal of judgment by management. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles prescribe a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Income tax benefits that meet the “more likely than not” recognition threshold should be recognized. Goodwill is amortized over 15 years for tax purposes.

 

At December 31, 2015, we had available net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $39.7 million, which expire beginning in the year 2020. Approximately $0.1 million of the total net operating loss is subject to an IRS Section 382 limitation from 1999. However, we cannot predict with reasonable certainty that all of the available net operating loss carryforwards will be realized in future periods. Accordingly, we recorded a valuation allowance of $12.2 million. As of December 31, 2015 we recognized net deferred tax assets of $1.6 million. There was no significant change to the Company’s net operating loss carryforward through March 31, 2016.

 

Management does not anticipate a significant change in the 6 months after the assessment and will review the deferred tax asset balance at June 30, 2016.

 

Management is not aware of any tax positions that would have a significant impact on our financial position.

 

 

Results of Operations

 

Our revenues are principally derived from providing integrated electronic payment services to merchants and businesses, including credit and debit card-based processing services and transaction processing via the Automated Clearing House, or ACH, network and the program management and processing of prepaid debit cards. We also operate an online payment processing service for consumers under the domain name www.billx.com and sell this service as a private-label application to resellers.

 

Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 decreased 14% to $3,228,631, as compared to $3,742,460 for the quarter ended March 31, 2015. The decrease for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, as compared to the same period in the prior year, was due to the decrease in the volume of ACH processing transactions, and return transactions processed, as well as the loss of some customers.

 

Cost of services decreased 6% to $2,154,783 for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, as compared to $2,303,999 for the same period in the prior year. The decrease for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, as compared to the same period in the prior year, was due to the decrease in the volume of ACH processing transactions, and return transactions processed.

 

Stock-based compensation expenses were $287,689 and $233,531 for the quarters ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, respectively. The increase in stock-based compensation expense is due to stock grants given to 2 new independent Board Directors that joined in the quarter ended June 30, 2015. Stock-based compensation expenses primarily represent the amortization of deferred compensation expenses related to incentive stock awards granted to employees, executives and directors.

 

Cancellation of stock-based compensation expense (income) was $0 and ($163,936) for the quarters ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, respectively. This amount represents non-vested stock-based awards to former employees that were expensed in prior years that were cancelled in the quarter ending March 31, 2015.

 

Other selling, general and administrative expenses increased 3% to $608,349 for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, as compared to $588,574 for the same period in the prior year. The increase in other selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2016, is generally a result of cash compensation paid to our Board of Directors.

 

Depreciation and amortization totaled $224,223 for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, compared to depreciation of $85,571 for the same period in the prior year. In the quarter ended December 31, 2015, the useful life for $2,585,385 of software acquired from Akimbo was changed from 10 years to 5 years, resulting in additional depreciation and amortization of approximately $107,000.

 

Other income (expense), net were incomes of $21,411 and $18,896 for the quarters ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, respectively. Interest income was $22,011 and $19,000, for the quarters ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, respectively. The increase in interest for the quarter, as compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to the increase in interest earned on higher cash balances.

 

We reported net loss of $32,003 for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, as compared to net income of $708,617 for the same period in the prior year.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At March 31, 2016, we had $4,223,891 of cash and cash equivalents, as compared to $4,059,606 of cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2015. The increase in cash for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was primarily due to cash generated from operations.

 

We reported net loss of $32,003 for March 31, 2016 and net income of $1,016,088 for year ended December 31, 2015 and we still have an accumulated deficit of $49,087,002. Additionally, we reported working capital of $4,063,743 and $3,872,190 at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

 

Net cash provided by operating activities was $472,239 and $824,575 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2016 as compared to the same period in the prior year was attributable to lower net income.

 

Net cash used by investing activities was ($307,954) for the three months ended March 31, 2016, as compared to net cash used by investing activities of ($253,933) for the same period in the prior year; the increase in net cash used for investing activities was primarily due to $200,000 loaned to C2Go, Inc. on February 2, 2016. Net cash used by financing activities was $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We currently have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

 

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

 

As a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K, we are electing scaled disclosure reporting obligations and therefore are not required to provide the information requested by this Item.

 

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2016 were effective to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management. Our evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures included an evaluation of certain components of our internal control over financial reporting. Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting is expressed at the level of reasonable assurance that the control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the control system's objectives will be met.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2016 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

 

On June 26, 2015, Michael McFarland, derivatively on behalf the Company, and individually on behalf of himself and all other similarly situated shareholders of the Company, filed a class-action lawsuit in United States District Court, District of Nevada. The suit alleges breach of fiduciary duties and unjust enrichment by the our Board of Directors and certain executive officers and directors in connection with excessive and unfair compensation paid or awarded during fiscal years 2013 and 2014. The lawsuit seeks disgorgement of excessive compensation as well as damages in an unspecified amount. As of March 17, 2016 the Court signed an order dismissing the claims against Peter Kirby and Michael Long, but did not rule as to the other defendants. We filed an unopposed motion for final judgment as to everyone else and confirmed again with the Plaintiff that they do not oppose dismissal of the whole case.

 

On April 26, 2016, Michael McFarland, derivatively on behalf the Company, re-filed the same class-action lawsuit in United States District Court, District of Nevada.

 

We believe this claim is without merit and it is unlikely that a loss will be incurred, therefore we have not accrued for a potential loss. However, the outcome of the dispute is still uncertain and it is possible we may incur legal fees and losses in the future.

 

Aside from the lawsuits described above, we may be involved in legal matters arising in the ordinary course of business from time to time. While we believe that such matters are currently not material, there can be no assurance that matters arising in the ordinary course of business for which we are or could become involved in litigation will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

 

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS.

 

Except as discussed below, there have been no material changes from risk factors previously disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2016.

 

We will be liable for severance payments in case of death of our Chief Executive Officer or Chief Operating Officer which will have an adverse effect on our cash position.

 

Pursuant to our respective employment agreements with Mr. Long and Mr. Hoch, as amended, upon death, we will be liable to the estate for severance payments, equaling an amount of 2.95 the respective base salary and bonus payments, plus a pro rata portion of the respective annual bonus based on the number of days elapsed in the year prior to death. Depending on when such an event might occur, it could have a substantial adverse effect on our operating capital and cash on hand. If our cash position is not sufficient, we may need to raise additional cash which could involve selling equity securities which would dilute our shareholders. In addition, the loss of our Chief Executive Officer or Chief Operating Officer may adversely affect our business and results of operations.

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities AND USE OF PROCEEDS.

 

On February 15, 2016 we issued 10,000 shares of unregistered equity securities valued at $1.90 per share to a consultant for investor relations services.

 

We relied on the Section 4(a)(2) exemption from securities registration under the federal securities laws for transactions not involving any public offering. No advertising or general solicitation was employed in offering the securities. The securities were issued to an accredited investor. The securities were offered for investment purposes only and not for the purpose of resale or distribution. The transfer thereof was appropriately restricted by us.

 

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

 

None.

 

Item 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES.

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 5. Other Information.
