INNOVATIVE PAYMENT SOLUTIONS, INC.

The COVID-19 pandemic has required the management of Innovative Payment Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) to focus its attention on responding to the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, including ensuring continuous operations, and adjusting the Company’s operations to address changes in the virtual payments industry.

The Company provides an integrated network of kiosks, terminals and payment channels that enable consumers to deposit cash, convert it into a digital form and remit the funds to any merchant in its network quickly and securely. The Company has plans to roll out 50 kiosks in Southern California to provide digital payments for the unbanked and underbanked using self-service kiosks and an E-wallet ecosystem. The kiosks are currently located in the Company’s warehouses in Southern California awaiting installation. Due to measures imposed by the local governments in areas affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, businesses have been suspended due to local stay-at-home orders intended to contain the COVID-19 pandemic and many people have been forced to work from home in those areas. As a result, installation of the Company’s network of kiosks, terminals and payment channels in Southern California continues to be delayed, which has had an adverse impact on the Company’s business and financial condition and has hampered its ability to generate revenue and access usual sources of liquidity on reasonable terms, if at all. During this delay, the Company decided to take measures to reengineer its kiosks to provide for additional functionality and features, which reengineering should be complete by the time of installation, assuming no further delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic or otherwise.

The Company has been following the recommendations of local health authorities to minimize exposure risk for its employees for the past several weeks, including the temporary closures of its offices and having employees work remotely to the extent possible, which has to an extent adversely affected their efficiency.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1	ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Organization

On May 12, 2016, Innovative Payment Solutions, Inc. (formerly known as QPAGOS and Asiya Pearls, Inc.), a Nevada corporation (“IPSI” or the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Qpagos Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Qpagos Corporation”), and Qpagos Merge, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of IPSI (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on May 12, 2016, the merger was consummated, and Qpagos Corporation and Merger Sub merged (the “Merger”), with Qpagos Corporation continuing as the surviving corporation of the Merger.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, upon consummation of the Merger, each share of Qpagos Corporation’s capital stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger was converted into the right to receive two shares of IPSI common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”). Additionally, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, upon consummation of the Merger, IPSI assumed all of Qpagos Corporation’s warrants issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger, which were exercisable for approximately 621,920 shares of Common Stock, respectively, as of the date of the Merger. Prior to and as a condition to the closing of the Merger, the then-current IPSI stockholder of 500,000 shares of Common Stock agreed to return to IPSI 497,500 shares of Common Stock held by such holder to IPSI and the then-current IPSI stockholder retained an aggregate of 2,500 shares of Common Stock and the other stockholders of IPSI retained 500,000 shares of Common Stock. Therefore, immediately following the Merger, Qpagos Corporation’s former stockholders held 4,992,900 shares of IPSI common stock which represented approximately 91% of the outstanding Common Stock.

The Merger was treated as a reverse acquisition of IPSI, a public shell company, for financial accounting and reporting purposes. As such, Qpagos Corporation was treated as the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes while IPSI was treated as the acquired entity for accounting and financial reporting purposes.

Qpagos Corporation (“Qpagos”) was incorporated on May 1, 2015 under the laws of the state of Delaware to effectuate a reverse merger transaction with Qpagos, S.A.P.I. de C.V. (“Qpagos Mexico”) and Redpag Electrónicos S.A.P.I. de C.V. (“Redpag”). Each of the entities were incorporated in November 2013 in Mexico.

Qpagos Mexico was formed to process payment transactions for service providers it contracts with, and Redpag was formed to deploy and operate kiosks as a distributor.

On May 27, 2016 Asiya changed its name to QPAGOS.

On June 1, 2016, the board of directors of QPAGOS (the “Board”) changed the Company’s fiscal year end from October 31 to December 31.

On November 1, 2019, the Company changed its name from QPAGOS to Innovative Payment Solutions, Inc.

Also on November 1, 2019, immediately following the name change, the Company filed a Certificate of Change with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada to effect a reverse split of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “common stock”) at a ratio of 1-for-10, effective on November 1, 2019 (the Reverse Stock Split”). As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, each ten pre-split shares of common stock outstanding automatically combined into one new share of common stock without any further action on the part of the holders, and the number of outstanding shares of common stock was reduced from 320,477,867 shares to 32,047,817 after rounding for fractional shares.

On December 31, 2019, Innovative Payment Solutions consummated the disposal of Qpagos Corporation, Qpagos Mexico and Redpag in exchange for 2,250,000 shares (the “Vivi Shares”) of common stock of Vivi Holdings, Inc. (“Vivi” or “Vivi Holdings”) pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated August 5, 2019 (the “SPA”). Of the 2,250,000 shares of Vivi, nine percent (9%) was allocated as follows: Gaston Pereira (5%), Andrey Novikov (2.5%), and Joseph Abrams (1.5%). The SPA was closed on December 31, 2019 after the satisfaction of customary conditions, the receipt of a final fairness opinion and the approval of the Company’s shareholders. Innovative Payment Solutions no longer has any business operations in Mexico and has retained its U.S. operations based in Calabasas, California.

1	ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS (continued)

Description of the business

Subsequent to the merger of Qpagos Corporation into IPSI and until the divestiture of Qpagos Corporation, Qpagos Mexico and Redpag, the Company’s focus was on the operations of Qpagos Corporation in Mexico. The Company’s current focus is on providing physical and virtual payment services to the United States market, leveraging the knowledge it obtained from the operations of Qpagos Corporation. On December 31, 2019, the Company consummated the disposal of Qpagos Corporation, including the two Mexican subsidiaries, Qpagos Mexico and Redpag pursuant to the SPA, in exchange for 2,250,000 shares of common stock of Vivi Holdings, of which nine percent (9%) was allocated to the following: Gaston Pereira (5%), Andrey Novikov (2.5%), and Joseph Abrams (1.5%). The SPA was closed on December 31, 2019 after the satisfaction of customary conditions, the receipt of a final fairness opinion and the approval of the Company’s shareholders. The Company no longer has any business operations in Mexico and has retained its U.S. operations based in Northridge, California.

Qpagos Corporation, through its subsidiaries Qpagos Mexico and Redpag, provided physical and virtual payment services to the Mexican market. Qpagos Corporation provided an integrated network of kiosks, terminals and payment channels that enabled consumers in Mexico to deposit cash, convert it into a digital form and remit the funds to any merchant in our network quickly and securely. Qpagos Mexico helped consumers and merchants connect more efficiently in markets and consumer segments, such as Mexico, that are largely cash-based and lack convenient alternatives for consumers to pay for goods and services in physical, online and mobile environments.

COVID-19 Outbreak

In March 2020, the outbreak of COVID-19 (also known as the coronavirus) caused by a novel strain of the coronavirus was recognized as a pandemic by the World Health Organization, and the outbreak has become increasingly widespread in the United States, including in each of the areas in which the Company operates. While, to date, the Company has not been required to stop operating, management is evaluating its use of its office space, virtual meetings and the like.

The Company provides an integrated network of kiosks, terminals and payment channels that enable consumers to deposit cash, convert it into a digital form and remit the funds to any merchant in its network quickly and securely. The Company has plans to roll out 50 kiosks in Southern California to provide digital payments for the unbanked and underbanked using self-service kiosks and an E wallet ecosystem. The kiosks are currently located in the Company’s warehouses in Southern California awaiting installation. Due to measures imposed by the local governments in areas affected by COVID-19, businesses have been suspended due to local and state stay-at-home orders intended to contain the COVID-19 outbreak and many people have been forced to work from home in those areas. As a result, installation of the Company’s network of kiosks, terminals and payment channels in Southern California has been delayed, which has had an adverse impact on the Company’s business and financial condition and has hampered its ability to generate revenue and access usual sources of liquidity on reasonable terms.

The Company continues to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak closely. The extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak will continue to impact the Company’s operations, ability to obtain financing or future financial results is uncertain.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments), which the Company considers necessary, for a fair presentation of those financial statements. The results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2021 may not necessarily be indicative of results that may be expected for any succeeding quarter or for the entire fiscal year. The information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Report”) should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of IPSI for the year ended December 31, 2020, included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 31, 2021.

All amounts referred to in the notes to the unaudited condensed financial statements are in United States Dollars ($) unless stated otherwise.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions, which are evaluated on an ongoing basis, that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the amounts of revenues and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates and judgments. In particular, significant estimates and judgments include those related to, the estimated useful lives for plant and equipment, the fair value of long-lived investments, the fair value of warrants and stock options granted for services or compensation, estimates of the probability and potential magnitude of contingent liabilities, derivative liabilities, the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets due to continuing operating losses and the allowance for doubtful accounts.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from our estimates.

Contingencies

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur.

The Company’s management assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment.

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material would be disclosed. Loss contingencies considered to be remote by management are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantee would be disclosed.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES (continued)

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company adopted the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 for fair value measurements which clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.

Level 2 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 - Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for the investment in Vivi Holdings Inc., was evaluated at fair value using Level 3 Inputs based on the Company’s estimate of the market value of the entities disposed to Vivi Holdings, Inc. Vivi Holdings Inc., does not have sufficient information available to assess the current market price of its equity.

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, other current assets, other assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and notes payable, approximate fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments. The Company has identified the short-term convertible notes and certain warrants attached to certain of the notes that are required to be presented on the balance sheets at fair value in accordance with the accounting guidance.

ASC 825-10 “Financial Instruments” allows entities to voluntarily choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value (fair value option). The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable, unless a new election date occurs. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, unrealized gains and losses for that instrument should be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The Company evaluates the fair value of variably priced derivative liabilities on a quarterly basis and report any movements thereon in earnings.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company’s operations will be subject to significant risks and uncertainties including financial, operational, regulatory, and other risks, including the potential risk of business failure. The global Covid-19 breakout has caused an economic crisis which may result in a general tightening in the credit markets, lower levels of liquidity, increases in the rates of default and bankruptcy, and extreme volatility in credit, equity and fixed income markets. These conditions may not only limit the Company’s access to capital, but also make it difficult for its customers, vendors and the Company to accurately forecast and plan future business activities. In addition, businesses have been suspended due to quarantines intended to contain this outbreak and many people have been forced to work from home in those areas. As a result, installation of the Company’s network of kiosks, terminals and payment channels in Southern California has been delayed, which has had an adverse impact on its business and financial condition and has hampered the Company’s ability to generate revenue and access usual sources of liquidity on reasonable terms.

The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES (continued)

Recent accounting pronouncements

The FASB issued several additional updates during the period, none of these standards are either applicable to the Company or require adoption at a future date and none are expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption.

Reporting by Segment

No segmental information is required as the Company has not generated any revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 and only has one operating segment.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, the Company had no cash equivalents.

The Company minimizes credit risk associated with cash by periodically evaluating the credit quality of its primary financial institution in the United States. The balance at times may exceed federally insured limits. At March 31, 2021, the balance exceeded the federally insured limit by $7,344,288 and at December 31, 2020, the balance did not exceed the federally insured limit.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable are reported at realizable value, net of allowances for doubtful accounts, which is estimated and recorded in the period the related revenue is recorded. The Company has a standardized approach to estimate and review the collectability of its receivables based on a number of factors, including the period they have been outstanding. Historical collection and payer reimbursement experience is an integral part of the estimation process related to allowances for doubtful accounts. In addition, the Company regularly assesses the state of its billing operations in order to identify issues, which may impact the collectability of these receivables or reserve estimates. Revisions to the allowance for doubtful accounts estimates are recorded as an adjustment to bad debt expense. Receivables deemed uncollectible are charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts at the time such receivables are written-off. Recoveries of receivables previously written-off are recorded as credits to the allowance for doubtful accounts. There were no recoveries during the period ended March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Investments

The Company’s non-marketable equity securities are investments in privately held companies without readily determinable market values. The carrying value of our non-marketable equity securities is adjusted to fair value for observable transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer or impairment (referred to as the measurement alternative). All gains and losses on non-marketable equity securities, realized and unrealized, are recognized in other income (expense), net. Non-marketable equity securities that have been remeasured during the period are classified within Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy because the Company estimates the value based on valuation methods using the observable transaction price at the transaction date and other unobservable inputs including volatility, rights, and obligations of the securities the Company holds. The cost method is used when the Company has a passive, long-term investment that doesn’t result in influence over the Company. The cost method is used when the investment results in an ownership stake of less than 20%, and there is no substantial influence. Under the cost method, the stock purchased is recorded on a balance sheet as a non-current asset at the historical acquisition/purchase price, and is not modified unless shares are sold, additional shares are purchased or there is evidence of the fair market value of the investment declining below carrying value. Any dividends received are recorded as income.

The Company recorded an impairment charge of $1,019,960 on its non-marketable equity securities for the year ended December 31, 2020. The impairment charge was based on management’s determination that due to the lack of ability, to date, by Vivi Holdings (“Vivi”) to fulfill its capital raising requirements and implement its business strategy that there is a significant risk that Vivi may not be able to meet its obligations.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES (continued)

Plant and Equipment

Plant and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Plant and equipment with costs greater than $1,000 are capitalized and depreciated. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows:

Description		Estimated Useful Life
Kiosks		7 years

Computer equipment		3 years

Leasehold improvements		Lesser of estimated useful life or life of lease

Office equipment		10 years

The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income in the year of disposition.

Long-Term Assets

Assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenue recognition policy is consistent with the requirements of FASB ASC 606, Revenue.

The Company’s revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those services. The Company derives its revenues from the sale of its services, as defined below. The Company applies the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its revenue transactions:

identify the contract with a customer;

ii.

identify the performance obligations in the contract;

iii.

determine the transaction price;

iv.

allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and

recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied.

The Company had no revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES (continued)

Share-Based Payment Arrangements

Generally, all forms of share-based payments, including stock option grants, restricted stock grants and stock appreciation rights are measured at their fair value on the awards’ grant date, based on the estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Share-based compensation awards issued to non-employees for services rendered are recorded at either the fair value of the services rendered or the fair value of the share-based payment, whichever is more readily determinable. The expense resulting from share-based payments is recorded in operating expenses in the statement of operations.

Where equity transactions with arms-length third parties, who had applied their own assumptions and estimates in determining the market value of our equity, had taken place prior to and within a reasonable time frame of any share-based payments, the value of those share transactions have been used as the fair value for any share-based equity payments.

Where equity transactions with arms-length third parties, included both shares and warrants, the value of the warrants have been eliminated from the unit price of the securities using a Black-Scholes valuation model to determine the value of the warrants. The assumptions used in the Black Scholes valuation model includes market related interest rates for risk-free government issued treasury securities with similar maturities; the expected volatility of the Company’s common stock based on companies operating in similar industries and markets; the estimated stock price of the Company; the expected dividend yield of the Company and; the expected life of the warrants being valued.

Derivative Liabilities

ASC 815 generally provides three criteria that, if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments. These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re- measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument subject to the requirements of ASC 815. ASC 815 also provides an exception to this rule when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional, as described.

Income Taxes

The Company is based in the US and currently enacted US tax laws are used in the calculation of income taxes.

Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A full valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized. It is the Company’s policy to classify interest and penalties on income taxes as interest expense or penalties expense. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there have been no interest or penalties incurred on income taxes.

Comprehensive income

Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a company during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances excluding transactions resulting from investments from owners and distributions to owners. For the Company, there is no comprehensive income for the periods presented.

3	LIQUIDITY MATTERS

The Company has incurred net losses since its inception and anticipates net losses and negative operating cash flows for the near future. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company had a net loss of $11,394,106 and had $7,594,288 in cash. In connection with preparing the financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2021, management evaluated the extent of the impact from the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business and its future liquidity for the next twelve months through May 15, 2022.

Management has executed the following to address the Company’s liquidity during the three months ended March 31, 2021:

●

The Company received net proceeds of $1,788,500 after an original issue discount of $255,500 upon its issuance of Senior Secured Convertible Notes in the principal amount of $2,044,000, bearing interest at 10% per annum and maturing on February 16, 2022.

●

Between February 18, 2021 and March 9, 2021 warrants for 44,074,285 shares were exercised by investors at an exercise price of $0.05 per share, for gross proceeds of $2,203,714.

●

On March 17, 2021, the Company entered into Securities Purchase Agreements (the “SPAs”) with several institutional investors, pursuant to which we sold to the Investors in a private placement (i) 30,333,334 shares of our common stock (the “Shares”) and (ii) warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 15,166,667 shares of our common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $4,550,000. The combined purchase price for one share of common stock and associated Warrant was $0.15.

The funding the Company received will be used primarily for development of technology, the digital payment platform and marketing, as well as for working capital and general corporate purposes.

If the Company is required to raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, its stockholders would experience dilution. Additional debt financing, if available, may involve covenants restricting its operations or its ability to incur additional debt. Any additional debt financing or additional equity that the Company raises may contain terms that are not favorable to it or its stockholders and require significant debt service payments, which diverts resources from other activities.

Based on this current business plan, the Company believes its existing cash is sufficient to conduct planned operations for one year from the issuance of the March 31, 2021 financial statements.

Investment in Vivi Holdings, Inc.

Effective December 31, 2019, the Company sold 100% of the outstanding common stock of its subsidiary, Qpagos Corp, together with its 99.9% ownership interest of Qpagos Corporations’ two Mexican entities: QPagos S.A.P.I. de C.V. and Redpag Electrónicos S.A.P.I. de C.V, to Vivi.

As consideration for the disposal Vivi issued an aggregate of 2,250,000 Shares of its common stock as follows: 2,047,500 Shares to the Company; 56,250 Shares to the Company’s designee, Mr. Andrey Novikov; 33,750 Shares to the Company’s designee, the Joseph W. & Patricia G. Abrams Family Trust; and 112,500 Shares to the Company’s designee, Mr. Gaston Pereira.

Due to the lack of available information, the Vivi Shares were valued by a modified market method, whereby the value of the assets disposed of were determined by management using the enterprise value of the entire Company less the liabilities and assets retained by the Company.

As of March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, the Company impaired the carrying value of the investment in Vivi Holdings, Inc by $0 and $509,981, respectively, based on Vivi’s indicated timeline for its proposed IPO and fund raising activities, largely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The total impairment as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $1,019,960.

The shares in Vivi Holdings, Inc., are unlisted as of March 31, 2021.

5	LEASES

The Company entered into a real property lease for office and warehouse space located at 19355 Business Center Drive in Northridge California, Los Angeles County. The lease commenced on February 15, 2020 and expires on February 28, 2022, monthly rental expense is $3,945 per month with no escalations during the term of the lease.

The initial value of the right-of-use asset was $86,741 and the operating lease liability was $86,741. The Company monitors for events or changes in circumstances that require a reassessment of its lease. When a reassessment results in the remeasurement of a lease liability, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the corresponding right-of-use asset unless doing so would reduce the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset to an amount less than zero. In that case, the amount of the adjustment that would result in a negative right-of-use asset balance is recorded as a loss in the statement of operations.

On March 22, 2021, the Company entered into a real property lease for an office located at 7677 Topaz Circle, Dublin, California. The lease commenced on April 1, 2021 and is for a twelve month period, terminating on April 1, 2022. The Company applied the practical expedient whereby operating leases with a duration of twelve months or less are expensed as incurred.

Discount Rate

To determine the present value of minimum future lease payments for operating leases at February 15, 2020, the Company was required to estimate a rate of interest that it would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment (the “incremental borrowing rate” or “IBR”).

The Company determined the appropriate IBR by identifying a reference rate and making adjustments that take into consideration financing options and certain lease-specific circumstances. For the reference rate, the Company used the 5 year ARM interest rate at the time of entering into the agreement and compared that rate to the Company’s weighted average cost of funding at the time of entering into the operating lease. The Company determined that 10.00% was an appropriate incremental borrowing rate to apply to its real-estate operating lease.

10	NET LOSS PER SHARE

Basic loss per share is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted loss per share is based on basic shares as determined above plus common stock equivalents. The computation of diluted net loss per share does not assume the issuance of common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect on net loss per share. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 all warrants, options and convertible debt securities were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share.

Dilutive shares which could exist pursuant to the exercise of outstanding stock instruments and which were not included in the calculation because their affect would have been anti-dilutive for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 are as follows:

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with and is qualified in its entirety by our audited annual financial statements and the related notes thereto, each of which appear on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2021. This discussion contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, as described under the heading “Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. The Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations below is based upon only the financial performance of Innovative Payment Solutions, Inc.

Overview and Financial Condition

We are a provider of next generation digital payment solutions and services to businesses and consumers. Our business model has substantially changed during the course of 2020. We have focused on developing a technology driven digital infrastructure via IPSIPay Platform and IPSIPay applications and have plans to launch various digital payment cryptocurrency products, including, IPSI Pay, IPSI Stable Coin, IPSI Wallet and IPSI Payroll, using blockchain technology. We are developing a flexible ecosystem that will enable businesses and customers to adopt and utilize IPSIPay prepaid card services, integrated payment service solutions in US and Mexico, money transfer to and from US swiftly at minimal cost compared to traditional money transfer service providers, utilizing stable dollar backed coins thus allowing small businesses and consumers to have access to various payment routes previously not available to them. We also intend to use our kiosk payment system and service in US.

We intend to continue to expand our operations in the United States with a focus initially on Southern California. We are also exploring acquisition opportunities that we believe will be accretive to our business.

We offer a simple payment solution for consumers and businesses. We have plans to roll out 50 kiosks in Southern California to provide digital payments for the unbanked and underbanked using self-service kiosks and an E-wallet ecosystem. The kiosks are currently located in our warehouses in Southern California awaiting installation. Due to measures imposed by the local governments in areas affected by the novel coronavirus outbreak (“COVID-19”), businesses have been suspended due to local and state stay-at-home orders intended to contain the COVID-19 outbreak and many people have been forced to work from home in those areas. As a result, installation of our network of kiosks, terminals and payment channels in Southern California has been delayed, which has had an adverse impact on our business and financial condition and has hampered our ability to generate revenue. During this delay, the Company decided to take measures to reengineer its kiosks to provide for additional functionality and features, which reengineering should be complete by the time of installation, assuming no further delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic or otherwise.

Management Discussion and Analysis of financial condition

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon the unaudited condensed financial statements as of March 31, 2021 and 2020, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of any contingent liabilities at the financial statement date and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, we review our estimates and assumptions. The estimates are based on our historical experience and other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results are likely to differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020

Net revenue

We anticipate that we will recommence generating revenue once we are able to install our kiosks, the timing of which is uncertain due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Cost of goods sold

We anticipate that our cost of goods sold will increase once we are able to install our kiosks.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses were $4,993,839 and $654,899 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, an increase of $4,338,940. The increase is primarily due to the increase in stock based compensation expense of $4,541,648 related to the fair value of warrants exercisable for 20,000,000 shares of common stock granted to our CEO, and Chairman on February 22, 2021, 2,500,000 restricted shares granted to an employee on December 15, 2020, which began vesting on January 1, 2021, and stock options exercisable for 416,666 shares of common stock granted to our directors on February 22, 2021, legal fees increased by $64,144 primarily due to the private placement which closed on March 17, 2021, the remaining increase is due to additional employees employed as the Company positions itself to introduce its payment solution to the market.

Investment impairment charge

Investment impairment charge was $0 and $509,981 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, in the prior period, the Company raised an impairment charge against the investment in Vivi Holdings Inc, as the Company has not met any of its indicated milestones concerning its proposed IPO and fund raising efforts.

Loss on debt conversion

Loss on debt conversion was $5,184,447 and $70,807 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, an increase of $5,113,640. The loss on debt conversion represents a loss realized on the conversion of convertible notes, treated as derivative liabilities, into equity at fixed conversion prices of $0.035 to $0.05 per share, when the stock price was ranging from $0.05 per share to $0.22 per share, resulting in a significant loss. A total of $2,259,221 was converted from convertible debt to equity during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Loss on settlement of liabilities

Loss on settlement of liabilities was $0 and $50,082 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, a decrease of $50,082. The loss on settlement of liabilities in the prior period represented the settlement of certain promissory notes by the issuance of 1,692,764 shares of common stock at a discount to current market prices.

Interest expense, net

Interest expense was $67,312 and $54,337 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, an increase of $12,975 or 23.9%. The increase is primarily due to the increase in the principal amount of convertible debt outstanding from $932,664 in the prior year to $2,044,000 in the current period.

Amortization of debt discount

Amortization of debt discount was $2,113,652 and $160,078 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, an increase of $1,953,574. The increase is primarily due to the acceleration of the amortization of debt discount which arose during the current year and the prior year due to the early repayment and the conversion of several convertible notes during the current period. A total of $2,259,221 of convertible debt was converted during the current period and a total of $521,000 of convertible debt was repaid during the current period.

Derivative liability movements

Derivative liability movements were $965,144 and $102,121 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The derivative liability arose due to the issuance of convertible securities with variable conversion prices and no floor conversion price. The charge during the current period represents the mark-to-market of the derivative liability outstanding as of March 31, 2021.

Net loss before income taxes and net loss

We incurred a net loss of $11,394,106 and $1,398,063 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 respectively, an increase in loss of $9,996,043, primarily due to the increase in stock based compensation of $4,541,398 discussed under general and administrative expenses above; the loss on debt conversion of $5,113,640, discussed above; and the increase in the amortization of debt discount of $1,953,574; offset by the movement in derivative liabilities of $863,023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

To date, our primary sources of cash have been funds raised primarily from the sale of our debt and equity securities.

We incurred an accumulated deficit of $39,023,681 through March 31, 2021 and incurred negative cash flow from operations of $774,180 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The new direction of the Company into the US payment services market will require us to spend, substantial amounts in connection with implementing our business strategy, including our planned product development.

To meet our financing needs, we have raised net convertible debt funding of $2,048,000, received proceeds from warrant exercises of $2,203,714 and additional gross proceeds $4,550,000 from a private placement of equity securities, we believe we have sufficient funding to implement our business strategy in the US market.

At March 31, 2021, we had cash of $7,594,288 and working capital of $2,483,691, including a derivative liability of $4,570,272. Due to the proceeds raised on the convertible debt funding, warrant exercises and private equity placement, we believe we have sufficient funds to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months. After eliminating the derivative liability our working capital is $7,053,963. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic our ability to generate revenue has been significantly impacted and it is difficult to determine when we my start to generate revenue from operations.

We utilized cash of $774,180 and $213,524 from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Overall cash utilized in operations increased by $560,656, primarily due to the repayment of longer outstanding payables and an increase in corporate overhead as we ready ourselves for our new technology platform.

Cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was primarily comprised of gross proceeds of $4,550,000 from the private placement on March 17, 2021, $2,203,714 from warrants exercised and $2,569,000 from convertible debt issued, we utilized $501,100 for share issue expenses and repaid convertible debt of $521,000 during the period.

At March 17, 2021, we had outstanding notes in the principal amount of $2,044,000. The notes were issued on February 16, 2021 and may be prepaid at any time for the first 90 days in an amount equal to 115% of the principal amount plus accrued interest. From day 91 through day 180, the Notes may be prepaid in an amount equal to 120% of the principal amount plus accrued interest. From day 181 through day 365, it may be prepaid in an amount equal to 125% of the principal amount plus accrued interest. The notes contain certain covenants, such as restrictions on: (i) distributions on capital stock, (ii) stock repurchases, and (iii) sales and the transfer of assets. The notes mature in 12 months, bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum, and are initially convertible into our common stock at a conversion price of $0.23 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock combinations, dilutive issuances and similar events). Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the notes, the respective holder has the right to be prepaid at 140% of the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest, and interest accrues at 18% per annum (or the maximum amount permitted by law). In addition, if an event of default under a note has occurred, regardless of whether it has been cured or remains ongoing, such Note will thereafter be convertible at 65% of the lowest closing price of our common stock for the last 10 consecutive trading days.

Other than amounts owed under convertible notes, we have a commitment for a property lease which expires in February 2022.

The amount of future minimum lease payments under operating leases are as follows:

	Amount
Undiscounted minimum future lease payments
Total instalments due:
2021		35,505
2022		7,890
		43,395

Capital Expenditures

Our capital expenditure will depend on our ability to roll out kiosks to serve the US market, we anticipate we could spend up to $1,000,000 in acquiring hardware in the next twelve month period.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) who is also its interim Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s CEO who also serves as its interim CFO concluded that due to a lack of segregation of duties and insufficient controls over review and accounting for certain complex transactions, that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2021 were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, was recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO, who also serves as its interim CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company intends to retain additional individuals to remedy the ineffective controls. We have begun to take actions that we believe will substantially remediate the material weaknesses identified. In response to the identification of our material weaknesses, we are in the process of expanding our finance and accounting staff. However, we cannot assure you that our internal control over financial reporting, as modified, will enable us to identify or avoid material weaknesses in the future.

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2021 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

From time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings or be subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of our business.

We are not presently a party to any legal proceedings that, if determined adversely to us, would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition or cash flows.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The following information updates, and should be read in conjunction with, the information disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the SEC on March 31, 2021 (the “2020 Form 10-K”). Except as disclosed below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in our 2020 Form 10-K.

We may continue to generate operating losses and experience negative cash flows and it is uncertain whether we will achieve profitability.

For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2019, we incurred a net loss of $5,444,544 and $4,047,762, respectively and for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we incurred a net loss of ($11,394,106) and ($1,398,063). We have an accumulated deficit of $39,023,681 through March 31, 2021. We expect to continue to incur operating losses until such time, if ever, as we are able to achieve sufficient levels of revenue from operations. There can be no assurance that we will ever generate significant sales or achieve profitability. Accordingly, the extent of future losses and the time required to achieve profitability, if ever, cannot be predicted at this point.

We also expect to experience negative cash flows for the foreseeable future as we fund our operating losses. Although we believe our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient for the near term, if in the long term we do generate significant revenues or raise additional financing in order to achieve and maintain profitability. We may not be able to generate these revenues or achieve profitability in the future. Our failure to achieve or maintain profitability would likely negatively impact the value of our securities and financing activities.

To date we have not successfully generated sufficient revenue to pay our operating expenses and have relied on proceeds from recent equity and note issuances to pay the deficiency.

As of December 31, 2020, we had outstanding convertible debt in the principal amount of $903,641, net of unamortized discount of $980,852, pursuant to the terms of various notes that we issued. Subsequent to December 31, 2020, we issued unsecured convertible notes in the aggregate principal amounts of $2,936,000, of which $892,000 was subsequently settled or converted to equity. At March 31, 2021, our only remaining debt was convertible debt in the principal amount of $2,044,000. To date, we have not generated sufficient revenue to pay the balances owed under these notes and provide sufficient working capital to run our business. The outstanding principal amount of the notes is convertible at any time and from time to time at the election of the holder after certain periods of time into shares of our common stock at discounts to the market price of our common stock. In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default (as defined in the notes), the notes each will become immediately due and payable and we have agreed to pay additional default interest rates. Upon conversion of these notes, our current shareholders will suffer dilution, which could be significant.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Except as described below or as disclosed in Current Reports on Form 10-Q, we did not have any unregistered sales of equity securities during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

As described above, we issued notes in the aggregate principal amount of $2,936,000 issued in February 2021 convertible into 28,709,182 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 28,709,182 shares of common stock.

The Company issued an aggregate of 61,793,616 shares of common stock upon the conversion of $2,259,221 of convertible debt and interest thereon between January 5, 2021 and February 23, 2021.

The Company issued 44,074,285 shares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants between February 18, 2021 and March 9, 2021.

All sales to persons in each of the transactions set forth above were issued relying on the exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder for the offer and sale of securities not involving a public offering, except for debt conversions which were effected relying on Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act as the common stock was exchanged by us with our existing security holders exclusively and no commission or other remuneration was paid or given directly or indirectly for soliciting such exchange. The recipients of securities in each of these transactions relying on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506 promulgated thereunder acquired the securities for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof, and appropriate legends were affixed to the securities issued in these transactions. Each of the recipients of securities in these transactions was an accredited investor within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act and had adequate access, through employment, business or other relationships, to information about us.
