NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

  

1.     BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT POLICIES

 

The foregoing unaudited consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for complete financial statements. These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements furnished herein include all adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period presented.

 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date the financial statements are published, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and assumption are inherent in the preparation of the 3PEA International, Inc’s (hereinafter referred to as “the Company”,”3PEA”, “we” or “us”) financial statements; accordingly, it is possible that the actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions that could have a material effect on the reported amounts of the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

 

Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018.

 

About 3PEA International, Inc.

 

3PEA International, Inc. is a vertically integrated provider of innovative prepaid card programs and processing services for corporate, consumer and government applications. Our payment solutions are utilized by our customers as a means to increase customer loyalty, reduce administration costs and streamline operations. Public sector organizations can utilize our solutions to disburse public benefits or for internal payments. We market our prepaid card solutions under our PaySign^® brand. As we are a payment processor and prepaid card program manager, we derive our revenue from all stages of the prepaid card lifecycle. We provide a card processing platform consisting of proprietary systems and innovative software applications based on the unique needs of our programs. We have extended our processing business capabilities through our proprietary PaySign platform. We provide a variety of services including transaction processing, cardholder enrollment, value loading, cardholder account management, reporting, and customer service.

 

We have developed prepaid card programs for healthcare reimbursement payments, pharmaceutical co-pay assistance, plasma donor compensation and corporate incentive and rewards. We plan to expand our product offering to include payroll cards, general purpose re-loadable cards, travel cards, and expense reimbursement and per diem cards. Our cards are offered to end users through our relationships with issuing banks.

 

Our proprietary PaySign^® platform was built on modern cross-platform architecture and designed to be highly flexible, scalable and customizable. The platform allows 3PEA to significantly expand its operational capabilities by facilitating our entry into new markets within the payments space through its flexibility and ease of customization. The PaySign platform delivers cost benefits and revenue building opportunities to our partners.

 

We manage all aspects of the prepaid card lifecycle, from managing the card design and approval processes with partners and associations, to production, packaging, distribution, and personalization. We also oversee inventory and security controls, renewals, lost and stolen card management and replacement. We deploy a fully staffed, in-house customer service department which utilizes bi-lingual customer service agents, Interactive Voice Response, (IVR), SMS alerts and two way SMS messaging. 

 

 

 

 

Principles of consolidation – The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

  

Use of estimates – The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

   

Cash restricted and Customer card funding – At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, restricted cash consists of funds held specifically for our card products for which we have recorded a corresponding customer card funding liability in the same amount. Restricted cash is not available for corporate use.

 

Intangible assets –Internally Developed Software Costs - Computer software development costs are expensed as incurred, except for internal use software or website development costs that qualify for capitalization as described below, and include compensation and related expenses, costs of hardware and software, and costs incurred in developing features and functionality.

 

For computer software developed or obtained for internal use, costs that are incurred in the preliminary project and post implementation stages of software development are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred during the application and development stage are capitalized. Capitalized costs are amortized using the straight-line method over a three-year estimated useful life, beginning in the period in which the software is available for use.

 

For intangible assets, we recognize an impairment loss if the carrying amount of the intangible asset is not recoverable and exceeds fair value. The carrying amount of the intangible asset is considered not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset.

 

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company intends on using their net operating loss carryforwards to offset any future taxable income and therefore has not recorded a provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contacts with Customers (ASC Topic 606), guidance on recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. The guidance outlines a single comprehensive model to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the model is that an entity recognizes revenue to portray the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard also expands disclosure requirements regarding revenue recognition. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or using a modified retrospective approach with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of initial application. Early adoption is permitted for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations. The standard also requires new, expanded disclosures regarding revenue recognition. Several ASU’s have been issued since the issuance of ASU 2014-09. These ASU’s, which modify certain sections of ASU 2014-09 are intended to promote a more consistent interpretation and application of the principles outlined in the standard.

 

We recognize revenue when goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration which it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In determining when and how revenue is recognized from contracts with customers, the Company performs the following five-step analysis: (i) identification of contract with customers; (ii) determination of performance obligations; (iii) measurement of the transaction price; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligations.

 

 

 

 

In November 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows – Restricted Cash a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force.” This standard requires restricted cash and cash equivalents to be included with cash and cash equivalents on the statement of cash flows under a retrospective transition approach. The guidance became effective for fiscal years beginning December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has retrospectively adopted ASU 2016-18.

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-17, which simplifies the accounting for share-based payments granted to nonemployees for goods and services. Under the ASU, most of the guidance on such payments to nonemployees would be aligned with the requirements for share-based payments granted to employees. Under the guidance, equity-classified nonemployee awards are measured on the grant date, rather than on the earlier of (1) the performance commitment date or (2) the date at which the nonemployee’s performance is complete. The guidance is effective in annual periods beginning after 15 December 2018, and interim periods within those years. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new standards on our consolidated financial statements.

 

Earnings per share - Basic earnings per share exclude any dilutive effects of options, warrants and convertible securities. Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of outstanding common stocks during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common and common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalent shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is antidilutive.

We are a vertically integrated payment processor and prepaid card program manager offering innovative payment solutions to corporations, government agencies, universities and other organizations. Our payment solutions are utilized by our customers as a means to increase customer loyalty, reduce administration costs and streamline operations. We market our prepaid card solutions under our PaySign brand. As we are a payment processor and prepaid card program manager, we derive our revenue from all stages of the prepaid card lifecycle.

We also provide in house Interactive Voice Response (IVR), SMS alerts and two way SMS messaging platforms.

   

 

 

 

We divide prepaid cards into two general categories: corporate and consumer reloadable, and non-reloadable cards.

 

Reloadable Cards: These types of cards are generally incentive, payroll or considered general purpose reloadable (“GPR”) cards. Payroll cards are issued to an employee by an employer to receive the direct deposit of their payroll. GPR cards can also be issued to a consumer at a retail location or mailed to a consumer after completing an on-line application. GPR cards can be reloaded multiple times with a consumer’s payroll, government benefit, a federal or state tax refund or through cash reload networks located at retail locations. Reloadable cards are generally open loop cards as described below.

  

Non-Reloadable Cards: These are generally one-time use cards that are only active until the funds initially loaded to the card are spent. These types of cards are gift or incentive cards. These cards may be open loop or closed loop. Normally these types of cards are used for purchase of goods or services at retail locations and cannot be used to receive cash.

 

These prepaid cards may be open loop, closed loop or semi-closed loop. Open loop cards can be used to receive cash at ATM locations or purchase goods or services by PIN or signature at retail locations. These cards can be used virtually anywhere that the network brand (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, etc.) is accepted. Closed loop cards can only be used at a specific merchant. Semi-closed loop cards can be used at several merchants such as a shopping mall.

 

The prepaid card market is one of the fastest growing segments of the payments industry in the U.S. This market has experienced significant growth in recent years due to consumers and merchants embracing improved technology, greater convenience, more product choices and greater flexibility. Prepaid cards have also proven to be an attractive alternative to traditional bank accounts for certain segments of the population, particularly those without, or who could not qualify for, a checking or savings account.

 

Our products and services are aimed at capitalizing on the growing demand for stored value and reloadable ATM/prepaid card financial products in a variety of market niches. Our proprietary platform is scalable and customizable, delivering cost benefits and revenue building opportunities to partners. We manage all aspects of the prepaid card lifecycle, from managing the card design and approval processes with banking partners and card associations, to production, packaging, distribution, and personalization. We also oversee inventory and security controls, renewals, lost and stolen card management and replacement.

 

As part of our platform expansion development process, we evaluate current and emerging technologies for applicability to our existing and future software platform. To this end, we engage with various hardware and software vendors in evaluation of various infrastructure components. Where appropriate, we use third-party technology components in the development of our software applications and service offerings. Third-party software may be used for highly specialized business functions, which we may not be able to develop internally within time and budget constraints. Our principal target markets for processing services include prepaid card issuers, retail and private-label issuers, small third-party processors, and small and mid-size financial institutions in the United States and in emerging international markets.

 

We are devoting more extensive resources to sales and marketing activities as we have added essential personnel to our marketing and sales department, specifically in the healthcare and traditional corporate incentive markets. We sell our products directly to customers in the U.S. but may work with a small number of resellers and third parties in international markets to identify, sell and support targeted opportunities.

 

In order to expand into new markets, we will need to invest additional funds in technology improvements, sales and marketing expenses, and regulatory compliance costs, as well as seek acquisition candidates that have long standing reputations and demonstrated growth and profitability. We may consider raising capital in order to accomplish the aforementioned. If we do not raise new capital, we believe that we will still be able to expand into new markets using internally generated funds, but our expansion will not be as rapid.

 

 

 

 

Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Measures

 

Management reviews key performance indicators including revenue, gross profits, growth in card programs and cardholder participation. In addition, we consider certain non-GAAP (or "adjusted") measures to be useful to management and investors evaluating our operating performance for the periods presented, and provide a tool for evaluating our ongoing operations, liquidity and management of assets. This information can assist investors in assessing our financial performance and measures our ability to generate capital for deployment and investment in new card programs. These adjusted metrics are consistent with how management views our business and are used to make financial, operating and planning decisions. These metrics, however, are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for revenue, operating income, net income, earnings per share (basic and diluted) or net cash from operating activities as determined in accordance with GAAP. We consider the following non-GAAP measures, which may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies, to be key performance indicators:

 

“EBITDA” defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expense and "Adjusted EBITDA" reflects the adjustment to EBITDA to exclude stock-based compensation.

Comparison of nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, we financed our operations entirely through revenues generated from operations.

 

Operating activities provided $8,649,817 of cash in the nine months ended September 30, 2018, as compared to $4,133,672 of cash provided by the same period in the prior year. Excluding the change in customer card funding, net cash provided by operating activities was $2,629,892 in the nine months ended September 30, 2018, as compared to net cash provided by $1,637,648 in the same period in the prior year. In 2018 and 2017, $6,019,925 and $2,496,024, respectively, of cash was provided by change in customer card funding, which affected our restricted cash for the same amount in both years. Major non-cash items that affected our cash flow from operations in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 were non-cash charges of $779,797 for depreciation and amortization, as well as stock-based compensation of $755,503. Our operating assets and liabilities, excluding customer card funding, used $(847,699) of cash, most of which resulted from an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $(92,645), decrease in accounts receivable of $(225,436), and decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets of $(530,618). Major non-cash items that affected our cash flow from operations in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were non-cash charges of $725,401 for depreciation and amortization, as well as stock-based compensation of $238,040.  Our operating assets and liabilities in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, excluding customer card funding, used $(538,555) of cash, most of which resulted from a decrease in legal settlements payable of $(254,900), and decrease in prepaid expenses of $(251,261), and increase in accounts payable of $40,858.

 

Investing activities used $(1,178,635) of cash in the nine months ended September 30, 2018, as compared to $(1,250,795) of cash used in the same period in 2017. In both periods, investing activities consisted of capital expenditures to improve and enhance the processing platform used in our business.

In 2018, financing activities consisted of $100,000 in cash provided from an exercise of a stock warrant. In 2017, cash used in financing activities consisted of payments on notes payables totaling $152,060 offset by $50,000 received from the exercise of a warrant.

 

Sources of Financing

 

We believe that our available cash on hand, excluding restricted cash, at September 30, 2018 of $4,299,570 and revenues anticipated for the remainder of 2018 will be sufficient to sustain our operations for the next twelve months. However, as noted above, we are pursuing possible acquisitions of complementary businesses. If we identify suitable acquisition candidate(s), we may be required to raise capital through a debt or equity offering to finance the acquisition(s). There is no assurance that we will be able to negotiate an acquisition on favorable terms, or that we will be able to arrange financing for an acquisition on attractive terms.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 of Notes to Financial Statements. At this time, we are not required to make any material estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and related disclosures of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses.  

 

Any estimates we make will be based on our experience and our interpretation of economic, political, regulatory, and other factors that affect our business prospects. Actual results may differ significantly from our estimates.

  

 

 

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

 

Because we are a smaller reporting company, it is not required to provide the information called for by this Item.

  

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining our disclosure controls and procedures. Disclosure controls and procedures means controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in those reports is accumulated and communicated to the our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of September 30, 2018. Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, as of the evaluation date, such controls and procedures were effective.

 

Changes in internal controls

 

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

 

 

 

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

 

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are not presently a party to any material litigation, nor to the knowledge of management is any litigation threatened against us, which may materially affect us.
