All statements other than statements of historical facts included or incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including without limitation, statements regarding our future financial position, business strategy, budgets, projected revenues, projected costs and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements.

Management cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any of the Company’s forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made.

We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events.

The amendments in this Update affect entities that issue convertible instruments and/or contracts in an entity’s own equity. For convertible instruments, the instruments primarily affected are those issued with beneficial conversion features or cash conversion features because the accounting models for those specific features are removed. However, all entities that issue convertible instruments are affected by the amendments to the disclosure requirements in this Update. For contracts in an entity’s own equity, the contracts primarily affected are freestanding instruments and embedded features that are accounted for as derivatives under the currentprior guidance because of failure to meet the settlement conditions of the derivatives scope exception related to certain requirements of the settlement assessment. The BoardFASB simplified the settlement assessment by removing the requirements (1) to consider whether the contract would be settled in registered shares, (2) to consider whether collateral is required to be posted, and (3) to assess shareholder rights. Those amendments also affect the assessment of whether an embedded conversion feature in a convertible instrument qualifies for the derivatives scope exception. Additionally, the amendments in this Update affect the diluted EPS calculation for instruments that may be settled in cash or shares and for convertible instruments. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities that meet the definition of a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filer, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years.

NOTE 2 – MANAGEMENT PLANS

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred significant losses and experienced negative cash flow from operations since inception. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Since inception, the Company has focused on developing and implementing its business plan. The Company believes that its existing cash resources will not be sufficient to sustain operations during the next twelve months. The Company currently needs to generate revenue in order to sustain its operations. In the event that the Company cannot generate sufficient revenue to sustain its operations, the Company will need to reduce expenses or obtain financing through the sale of debt and/or equity securities. The issuance of additional equity would result in dilution to existing shareholders. If the Company is unable to obtain additional funds when they are needed or if such funds cannot be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company, the Company would be unable to execute upon the business plan or pay costs and expenses as they are incurred, which would have a material, adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Company’s current monetization model is to derive revenues from levels of subscription revenue paid monthly, service fees, transaction fees and in some cases, revenue sharing with banking and distribution partners. As these bases of revenues grow, the Company expects to generate additional revenue to support operations.

After the date of issuance of Series C Preferred Stock, dividends at the rate of $7.20 per share will begin accruing and will be cumulative. The Series C Preferred Stock is pari passu with the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock and has a preference in liquidation equal to seven times its original issue price to be paid out of assets available for distribution prior to holders of common stock and thereafter participates with the holders of common stock in any remaining proceeds subject to an aggregate cap of 7.5 times its original issue price. The Series C Preferred Stockholders may cast the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of common stock into which the shares of Series C Preferred Stock can be converted. The Series C Preferred Stock also contains customary approval rights with respect to certain matters. There are no outstanding Series C Preferred Shares, therefore the current per annum dividend per share is $0.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the value of the cumulative 8% dividends for all Rego preferred stock was $6,885,130$7,676,137. Such dividends will be paid when and if declared payable by Rego’s board of directors or upon the occurrence of certain liquidation events. In accordance with FASB ASC 260-10-45-11, the Company has recorded these accrued dividends as a current liability.

ZS Series A Preferred Stock

In November 2018, ZS pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “ZS Series A Purchase Agreement”), issued in a private placement to an accredited investor, 83,334 units at an original issue price of $3 per unit (the “ZS Original Series A Issue Price”), which includes one share of ZS’ Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the “ZS Series A Preferred Stock”) and one warrant to purchase one share of ZS’ common stock with an exercise price of $3.00 per share expiring in three years (the “Series A Warrants”). ZS raised $250,000 with respect to this transaction. Dividends on the ZS Series A Preferred Stock accrue at a rate of 8% per annum and are cumulative. The ZS Series A Preferred Stock has a preference in liquidation equal to two times the ZS Original Series A Issue Price to be paid out of assets available for distribution prior to holders of ZS common stock and thereafter participates with the holders of ZS common stock in any remaining proceeds subject to an aggregate cap of 2.5 times the ZS Original Series A Issue Price. The ZS Series A Preferred Stockholders may cast the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of ZS common stock into which the shares of ZS Series A Preferred Stock can be converted.

The conversion feature of the ZS Series A Preferred Stock is an embedded derivative, which is classified as equity in accordance with FASB ASC 815 and was valued in accordance with FASB ASC 470 as a beneficial conversion feature at a fair market value of $193,377 at the date of issuance. However in accordance with FASB ASC 470, the value of the beneficial conversion feature is limited to the value of the ZS Series A Preferred Stock of $139,959 at the date of issuance. This was classified as an embedded derivative and a discount to the ZS Series A Preferred Stock.  Since the ZS Series A Preferred Stock can be converted at any time, the full amount of the discount was accreted and reflected as a deemed distribution.

The warrants associated with the ZS Series A Preferred Stock were also classified as equity, in accordance with FASB ASC 480-10-25.  Therefore it is not necessary to bifurcate the warrants from the ZS Series A Preferred Stock.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the value of the cumulative 8% dividends for ZS preferred stock was $38,333.$53,334. Such dividends will be paid when and if declared payable by the ZS’ board of directors or upon the occurrence of certain liquidation events. In accordance with FASB ASC 260-10-45-11, the Company has recorded these accrued dividends as a current liability.

NOTE 11 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Derivative Liabilities

For purposes of determining whether certain instruments are derivatives for accounting treatment, the Company follows the accounting standard that provides guidance for determining whether an equity-linked financial instrument, or embedded feature, is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The standard applies to any freestanding financial instruments or embedded features that have the characteristics of a derivative, and to any freestanding financial instruments that are potentially settled in an entity’s own common stock. 

The Company has identified the following liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, summarized as follows: 

September 30, 2020 Level 1  Level 2  Level 3  Total 
             
Derivative liability related to fair value of beneficial                
conversion feature $-  $232,600  $-  $232,600 
                 
Total $-  $232,600  $-  $232,600 

The following table details the approximate fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s derivative liabilities using Level 2 inputs: 

  Total

Change in fair value of derivative liabilities  232,600 
     
Balance at September 30, 2020 $232,600 

As of September 30, 2020, the beneficial conversion feature of the Preferred Stock is treated as an embedded derivative liability and changes in the fair value were recognized in earnings.  The shares of Preferred Stock are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, which did trade in an active securities market; therefore the embedded derivative liability was valued using the following market based inputs:

Closing trading price of Rego common stock $0.50

Option Amendments and Adjustments

On June 3, 2021, the Board of Directors approved amendments extending the term of certain outstanding options to purchase in the aggregate 600,000 shares of common stock of the Company at exercise prices of $0.90 per share. These options were scheduled to expire at various dates during 2021 and were each extended to June 15, 2022. The increase in fair value of this term extension was $258,622 which was expensed during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the increase in fair value, with the following assumptions for the extended options: 0no dividend yield, expected volatility of 116.9%, risk free interest rate of 0.04%, and expected option life of 1.03 years.

Issuance of Restricted Shares

A restricted stock award (“RSA”) is an award of common shares that is subject to certain restrictions during a specified period. Restricted stock awards are independent of option grants and are generally subject to forfeiture if employment terminates prior to the release of the restrictions. The grantee cannot transfer the shares before the restricted shares vest. Shares of nonvested restricted stock have the same voting rights as common stock, are entitled to receive dividends and other distributions thereon and are considered to be currently issued and outstanding. The Company’s restricted stock awards generally vest over a period of one year. The Company expenses the cost of the restricted stock awards, which is determined to be the fair market value of the shares at the date of grant, straight-line over the period during which the restrictions lapse. For these purposes, the fair market value of the restricted stock is determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date.

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

 

Overview

 

Rego Payment Architectures, Inc. (the “Company,” “we”, or “us”) was incorporated in Delaware on February 11, 2008 under the name Chimera International Group, Inc.  On April 4, 2008, we amended our certificate of incorporation and changed our name to Moggle, Inc.  On August 22, 2011, we filed a Certificate of Ownership with the Secretary of State of Delaware, pursuant to which the Company’s newly-formed wholly-owned subsidiary, Virtual Piggy Incorporated was merged into and with the Company (the “Merger”). In connection with the Merger and in accordance with Section 253 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the name of the Company was changed from “Moggle, Inc.” to “Virtual Piggy, Inc.”  On February 28, 2017, we amended our certificate of incorporation and changed our name to Rego Payment Architectures, Inc. Our principal offices are located at 325 Sentry Parkway, Suite 200, Blue Bell , PA 19422 and our telephone number is (267) 465-7530.

 

As of the date of this report, we have not generated significant revenues.  Our initial business plan was to develop an online game platform to allow game companies to create, monetize and distribute massive multiplayer online games (MMOG). The Company technology was the monetization component of this overall software platform (our “Platform”). During 2010, we analyzed the market potential for an expanded Company solution and decided to concentrate our efforts on the delivery of a full-featured Company solution that was not restricted to online gaming. The expanded Company solution is designed to provide a complete online solution for families and parents to teach their children about financial management and spending on gaming, retail, music and entertainment. In late 2013, we rebranded our Company product under the name “Oink®”.  In March 2016, we discontinued our prior Oink product offering.

 

Our current focus is monetizing the MazoolaSM Digital Wallet Platform in the FinTechFinancial Technology (“FinTech”) industry through technologywhite label, licensing and similar partnerships.partnership agreements.  We have successfully launched the MazoolaSM App and are focused on buildingimproving and improvingmonetizing the existing Platform and App that will act as the foundation for the strategic alignment with the Financial Technology (“FinTech”)FinTech industry.  The FinTech industry is composed primarily of startup companies that use software to provide financial services more efficiently and less costly than traditional financial service companies.  With our Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) and GDPRkidsTM Trustmark compliant technology as an added feature, we believe we may have better market success.

 

Strategic Outlook

 

We believe that the virtual goods market and the FinTech industry will continue to grow over the long term.  Within the market and industry, we intend to provide services to allow transactions with children in compliance with COPPA and similar international privacy laws.  We believe that this particular opportunity is relatively untapped and intend to be a leading provider of online transactions for children.

24
Table of Contents

 

Sustained spending on technology, our ability to raise additional financing, our ability to successfully implement technology partnerships or joint ventures, the continued growth of the FinTech industry, and compliance with regulatory and reporting requirements are all external conditions that may affect our ability to execute our business plan.  In addition, the FinTech industry is intensely competitive, and most participants have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial, technical, marketing, customer service and other resources, and greater name recognition.  In addition, certain potential customers, particularly large organizations, may view our small size and limited financial resources as a negative even if they prefer our offering to those of our competitors.

 

Our goal, moving forward is to enable both incumbent and new FinTech participants, as well as key verticals with a large base of ‘family accounts,’ to provide their consumers with safe and empowering youth money management and financial literacy content and tools via the mobile payment platform.

25
Table of Contents

 

While some of the Rego Platform can be easily duplicated/commoditized, such as the app skin, APIs to retailers, APIs to financial infrastructure and cloud storage, we believe that defending our market position rests on three factors:

 

1.The ability to define data control settings from parent to child.

 

Our approach to this opportunity uses a master account to dictate purchase rules to sub-accounts via a hierarchical architecture. This approach adheres to data flow and privacy policy requirements specifically outlined for COPPA compliance. We believe other approaches based on machine learning, or other artificial intelligence methodologies are potentially viable alternatives but are likely too costly, do not meet current compliance timelines, and may defy the core of COPPA’s “opt-in” parameters. There is considerable room for next-generation automation techniques to be layered on Rego’s hierarchical approach. Given its current stability and scalability metrics, the Rego Platform strongly features these advances in its technical development roadmap without compromising any of its current data control performance.

 

2.The ability to (mis)attribute the child’s transaction and personal identification.

 

Rego has solved this issue by masking user data and maintaining separate identity and financial data flows. As a result, Rego can verify the age of the internet user throughtthrough the transaction lifecycle on its Platform. Authenticating and validating the identity of the actual user on the internet is one of the more difficult cybersecurity challenges. Current approaches are mainly not for commercial use; however, there is investment in commercial innovation in this area. Rego’s data control features and its (mis)attribution approach are inextricably linked and a key to its scalability and extensibility.

 

3.The ability to disseminate transactional data on minors while remaining COPPA and GDPR compliant.

 

The highest value data will be that which shows the most nuanced detail afforded under current regulations. Without extreme data control features, such as in the Rego Platform, any lesser data precision will be less valuable.

 

These three factors are all supported by Rego’s patented technology.

 

Currently, we are targeting established brands with large family-focused account bases — including banks, telecommunication companies, faith-based organizations, media distributors, mobile device Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEMs”), and merchants.

 

Our primary strategic objectives over the next 12-18 months are to increaseWe have launched our user base and the engagement level of that base.MazoolaSM app. We plan to achieve that by implementing our partner-first godevelop additional enhancements to market model inthe app and develop a web based platform, which established payments market leaders and vertical market participants can incorporate and integrate our platform into co-branded payments solutions targeting youth and family.  We are pursuing both domestic and international opportunities for the use of our payment platform. These opportunities have customer bases of their own that they could bring to our platform, thus minimizing the marketing costs for the Company, that would normally needis expected to be incurred. Managementcompleted in the third quarter of 2021.

25
Table of Contents

In addition to expanding the existing payment solution to a growing US and global customer base, management believes this approach will enable the Company to reduce expenses while broadening its reach.there is robust demand for:

1)A digital ecosystem for children embedded within a marketplace of service offerings, delivered via in-house technology and through third party integrations (“super app”). The inherent fenced design and systems architecture of the MazoolaTM digital wallet aligns well with the overall purpose and approach of a “super app”— to offer a wide array of services within a controlled environment on mobile operating systems, such as iOS and Android.

2)Expanded in-application service modules such as investments, charitable giving, and financial literacy, as well as, the inclusion of new marketplaces, health centers, and logistic/inventory management systems.

3)Predictive analytic products and services based on REGO’s anonymized data collection techniques.

4)A two-sided platform of the REGO offering, MazoolaPay, which is currently in later stage development. This provides a way for retailers to offer families a compliant payment offering when engaging in e-commerce transactions.

 

Within this model, the Company is incorporating licensing fees.  This should enable the Company to begin creating shareholder value above and beyond consumer transaction fees. As our service grows, we intend to hire additional information technology staff to maintain our product offerings and develop new products to increase our market share.

 

We believe that our near-term success will depend particularly on our ability to develop customer awareness and confidence in our service.  Since we have extremely limited capital resources, we will need to closely manage our expenses and conserve our cash by continually monitoring any increase in expenses and reducing or eliminating unnecessary expenditures. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties encountered by companies at an early stage of development, particularly given that we operate in new and rapidly evolving markets, that we have limited financial resources, and face an uncertain economic environment. We may not be successful in addressing such risks and difficulties.

Since our inception, we have focused on developing and implementing our business plan.  We believe that our existing cash resources will not be sufficient to sustain our operations during the next twelve months.  We currently need to generate sufficient revenues to support our cost structure to enable us to pay ongoing costs and expenses as they are incurred, finance the development ofenhancements to our Platform, and execute the business plan.  If we cannot generate sufficient revenue to fund our business plan, we intend to seek to raise such financing through the sale of debt and/or equity securities.  The issuance of additional equity would result in dilution to existing shareholders. The issuance of convertible debt may also result in dilution to existing stockholders. If we are unable to obtain additional funds when they are needed or if such funds cannot be obtained on terms acceptable to us, we will be unable to execute upon the business plan or pay costs and expenses as they are incurred, which would have a material, adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. See Note 2, to our consolidated financial statements included in our most recentthis Form 10-K.10-Q. 

 

Even if we are successful in generating sufficient revenue or in raising sufficient capital in order to complete the Platform, our ability to continue in business as a viable going concern can only be achieved when our revenues reach a level that sustains our business operations.  The launch of the Platform is expected in the fourth quarter of 2020, however, weWe do not project that significant revenue will be developed at the earliest until the fourth quarter of 2021. There can be no assurance that we will raise sufficient proceeds, or any proceeds, for us to implement fully our proposed business plan.  Moreover, there can be no assurance that even if the Platform is fully developed and successfully launched, that we will generate revenues sufficient to fund our operations.  In either such situation, we may not be able to continue our operations and our business might fail.

 

Based upon the current cash position and the Company’s planned expense run rate, management believes the Company will not be able to finance its operations beyond January 2021.2022.

 

The foregoing forward-looking information was prepared by us in good faith based upon assumptions that we believe to be reasonable. No assurance can be given, however, regarding the attainability of the projections or the reliability of the assumptions on which they are based. The projections are subject to the uncertainties inherent in any attempt to predict the results of our operations, especially where new products and services are involved. Certain of the assumptions used will inevitably not materialize and unanticipated events will occur. Actual results of operations are, therefore, likely to vary from the projections and such variations may be material and adverse to us. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that such results will be achieved. Moreover, due to changes in technology, new product announcements, competitive pressures, system design and/or other specifications we may be required to change the current plans.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our financial statements are impacted by the accounting policies used and the estimates and assumptions made by management during their preparation. A complete summary of these policies is included in Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.2020. We have identified below the accounting policies that are of particular importance in the presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows and which require the application of significant judgment by management.

 

Stock-based Compensation

 

We have adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) 718. In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 “Share-Based Payment” (“SAB 107”), which provides supplemental FASB ASC 718 application guidance based on the views of the SEC. Under FASB ASC 718, compensation cost recognized includes compensation cost for all share-based payments granted, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 718.

 

We have used the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the option fair values. The option-pricing model requires a number of assumptions, of which the most significant are, expected stock price volatility, the expected pre-vesting forfeiture rate and the expected option term (the amount of time from the grant date until the options are exercised or expire).

All issuances of stock options or other equity instruments to non-employees as consideration for goods or services received by the Company are accounted for based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued.  Non-employee equity based payments that do not vest immediately upon grant are recorded as an expense over the vesting period.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

In accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition (Codified in FASB ASC 606)606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, we will recognizethe Company recognizes revenue when (i) persuasive evidence of a customerit satisfies performance obligations, by transferring promised goods or distributor arrangement exists or acceptance occurs, (ii) a retailer, distributor or wholesaler receivesservices to customers, in an amount that reflects the goods, (iii)consideration to which the price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability of the sales revenues is reasonably assured.
