1	ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

a)

Organization

 

On May 12, 2016, QPAGOS (formerly known as Asiya Pearls, Inc.), a Nevada corporation (“QPAGOS”), 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 QPAGOS (“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 QPAGOS common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”). Additionally, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, upon consummation of the Merger, QPAGOS assumed all of Qpagos Corporation’s warrants issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger, which were exercisable for approximately 6,219,200 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 QPAGOS stockholder of 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock agreed to return to QPAGOS 4,975,000 shares of Common Stock held by such holder to QPAGOS and the then-current QPAGOS stockholder retained an aggregate of 25,000 shares of Common Stock and the other stockholders of QPAGOS retained 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock. Therefore, immediately following the Merger, Qpagos Corporation’s former stockholders held 49,929,000 shares of QPAGOS common stock which represented approximately 91% of the outstanding Common Stock.

 

The Merger was treated as a reverse acquisition of QPAGOS, 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 QPAGOS was treated as the acquired entity for accounting and financial reporting purposes. Further, as a result, the historical financial statements that are reflected in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and that will be reflected in the Company’s financial statements filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) will be those of Qpagos Corporation, and the Company’s assets, liabilities and results of operations will be consolidated with the assets, liabilities and results of operations of Qpagos Corporation.

 

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) and Redpag Electrónicos S.A.P.I. de C.V. (Redpag). Each of the entities were incorporated in November 2013 in Mexico.

 

QPagos, S.A.P.I. de C.V. was formed to process payment transactions for service providers it contracts with, and Redpag Electrónicos S.A.P.I. de C.V. was formed to deploy and operate kiosks as a distributor.  

 

On May 27, 2016 Asiya changed its name to QPAGOS. QPAGOS and its direct and indirect subsidiaries Qpagos Corporation, QPagos, S.A.P.I. de C.V. and Redpag Electrónicos S.A.P.I. de C.V., will be referred to hereafter as “the Company”.

 

On June 1, 2016, the board of directors changed the Company’s fiscal year end from October 31 to December 31.

 

b)

Description of the business

 

QPAGOS Corporation, through its subsidiaries Qpagos S.A.P.I de C.V. (“Qpagos”) and Redpag Electronicos S.A.P.I de C.V. (“Redpag”), provides physical and virtual payment services to the Mexican market. The Company provides an integrated network of kiosks, terminals and payment channels that enable 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. The Company helps 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. For example, our licensed technology can be used to pay bills, add minutes to mobile phones, purchase transportation and tickets, shop online or at a retail store, buy digital services or send money to a friend or relative.

2	ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

 

a)

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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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, 2018 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 should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of QPAGOS for the year ended December 31, 2017, included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 17, 2018. 

 

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

 

b)

Principles of Consolidation

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary and its indirect subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. The entities included in these consolidated financial statements are as follows:

 

QPAGOS – Parent Company

Qpagos Corporation – 100% owned

Qpagos, S.A.P.I de C.V., a Mexican entity (99.996% owned)

Redpag Electrónicos, S.A.P.I. de C.V., a Mexican entity (99.990% owned)

 

c)

Mexican Operations

 

The financial statements of the Company’s Mexican operations are measured using local currencies as their functional currencies.

 

The Company translates the assets and liabilities of its Mexican subsidiaries at the exchange rates in effect at period end and the results of operations at the average rate throughout the period. The translation adjustments are recorded directly as a separate component of stockholders’ equity, while transaction gains (losses) are included in net income (loss). All sales to customers are in Mexico.

 

d)

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated 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 unaudited condensed consolidated 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 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, those related to revenue recognition 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 consolidated 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.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

2	ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES (continued)

 

e)

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 consolidated 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.

 

f)

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 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 did not identify any other assets or liabilities 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 did not elect to apply the fair value option to any outstanding instruments.

 

g)

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company’s operations will be subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial, operational, regulatory and other risks associated, including the potential risk of business failure. The recent global economic crisis has caused 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 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.

 

The Company’s operations are carried out in Mexico. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environment in Mexico and by the general state of that economy. 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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In January 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-1, Leases (Topic 842), Land Easement practical expedient for Top 842.

 

The amendments in this Update permit an entity to elect an optional transition practical expedient to not evaluate under Topic 842 land easements that exist or expired before the entity’s adoption of Topic 842 and that were not previously accounted for as leases under Topic 840. An entity that elects this practical expedient should apply the practical expedient consistently to all of its existing or expired land easements that were not previously accounted for as leases under Topic 840. Once an entity adopts Topic 842, it should apply that Topic prospectively to all new (or modified) land easements to determine whether the arrangement should be accounted for as a lease. An entity that does not elect this practical expedient should evaluate all existing or expired land easements in connection with the adoption of the new lease requirements in Topic 842 to assess whether they meet the definition of a lease. The amendment in this Update clarifies that an entity should determine whether land easements are leases in accordance with Topic 842 before applying the guidance.

 

The impact this ASU will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements is expected to be immaterial.

 

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-2, Income Statement- Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Reclassification of certain tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income.

 

The amendments in this Update allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Consequently, the amendments eliminate the stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and will improve the usefulness of information reported to financial statement users. However, because the amendments only relate to the reclassification of the income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the underlying guidance that requires that the effect of a change in tax laws or rates be included in income from continuing operations is not affected. The amendments in this Update also require certain disclosures about stranded tax effects.

 

The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the amendments in this Update is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, (1) for public business entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued and (2) for all other entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance. The amendments in this Update should be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period (or periods) in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is recognized.

 

The impact this ASU will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements will be a reduction in the tax effect of net operating losses carried forward.

 

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-3 Technical Corrections and Improvements to Financial Instruments – Overall (Sub topic 825-10), Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.

 

The amendment clarifies that an entity measuring an equity security using the measurement alternative may change its measurement approach to a fair value method in accordance with Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, through an irrevocable election that would apply to that security and all identical or similar investments of the same issuer. Once an entity makes this election, the entity should measure all future purchases of identical or similar investments of the same issuer using a fair value method in accordance with Topic 820.

 

The amendment clarifies that the adjustments made under the measurement alternative are intended to reflect the fair value of the security as of the date that the observable transaction for a similar security took place.

  

The amendment clarifies that remeasuring the entire value of forward contracts and purchased options is required when observable transactions occur on the underlying equity securities.

 

The amendment clarifies that when the fair value option is elected for a financial liability, the guidance in paragraph 825-10- 45-5 should be applied, regardless of whether the fair value option was elected under either Subtopic 815-15, Derivatives and Hedging— Embedded Derivatives, or 825- 10, Financial Instruments— Overall.

 

The amendments clarify that for financial liabilities for which the fair value option is elected, the amount of change in fair value that relates to the instrument specific credit risk should first be measured in the currency of denomination when presented separately from the total change in fair value of the financial liability. Then, both components of the change in the fair value of the liability should be remeasured into the functional currency of the reporting entity using end-of-period spot rates.

i)

Reporting by segment

 

No segmental information is required as the Company currently only has one segment of business, providing physical and virtual payment services in the Mexican Market.

 

j)

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, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, the Company had no cash equivalents.

 

The Company assesses 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, 2018 and December 31, 2017, cash balances in the United States did not exceed the federally insured limit.

 

k)

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 three months ended March 31, 2018 and December 2017. 

 

l)

Cost Method Investments

 

Investee companies not accounted for under the consolidation or the equity method are accounted for under the cost method of accounting. Under this method, the Company’s share of earnings or losses of such investee companies is not included in the condensed consolidated balance sheet or statement of operations and comprehensive loss. However, impairment charges are recognized in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. If circumstances suggest that the value of the investee company has subsequently recovered, such recovery is not recorded. There is no impairment of investment at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

 

m)

Inventory

 

The Company primarily values inventories at net realizable value applied on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company identifies and writes down its excess and obsolete inventories to net realizable value based on usage forecasts, order volume and inventory aging. With the development of new products, the Company also rationalizes its product offerings and will write-down discontinued product to the lower of cost or net realizable value.

 

n)

Advances received from customers

 

Other than the sale of kiosks to customers, the provision of services through the Company’s kiosks is conducted on a cash basis. Customers are required to deposit cash with the Company to meet anticipated demand for services provided through kiosks either owned or operated by them. The services provided through the customer owned or operated kiosks are deducted from the deposits held on their behalf, the Company requires that these deposits be replenished as and when the services are provided.

2	ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES (continued)

 

o)

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.

 

p)

Intangibles

 

All of our intangible assets are subject to amortization. We evaluate the recoverability of intangible assets periodically by taking into account events or circumstances that may warrant revised estimates of useful lives or that indicate the asset may be impaired. Where intangibles are deemed to be impaired we recognize an impairment loss measured as the difference between the estimated fair value of the intangible and its book value.

 

i) License Agreements

 

License agreements acquired by the Company are reported at acquisition value less accumulated amortization and impairments.

 

ii) Amortization

 

Amortization is reported in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the intangible assets, unless the useful life is indefinite. Amortizable intangible assets are amortized from the date that they are available for use. The estimated useful life of the license agreement is five years which is the expected period for which we expect to derive a benefit from the underlying license agreements.

 

q)

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.

 

r)

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company’s revenue recognition policy is consistent with the requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue.

 

We have analyzed our revenue transaction pursuant to ASC 606, Revenue, and we have no material impact as a result of the transition from ASC 605 to 606. Our 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:

 

i.

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

 

v.

recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied.

r)

Revenue Recognition (continued)

 

The Company has the following sources of revenue which is recognized on the basis described below.

 

●

Revenue from the sale of services.

 

Prepaid services are acquired from providers and is sold to end-users through kiosks that the Company owns or kiosks that are owned by third parties. The Company recognizes the revenue on the sale of these services when the end-user deposits funds into the terminal and the prepaid service is delivered to the end-user. The revenue is recognized at the gross value, including margin, of the prepaid service to the Company, net of any value-added tax which is collected on behalf of the Mexican Revenue Authorities.

 

●

Payment processing provided to end-users

 

The Company provides a secure means for end-users to pay for certain services, such as utilities through our kiosks. The Company earns either a fixed per-transaction fee or a fixed percentage of the service sold. The Company acts as a collection agent and recognizes the payment processing fee, net of any value-added taxes collected on behalf of the Mexican Revenue Authorities, when the funds are deposited into the kiosk and the customer has settled his liability or has acquired a prepaid service.

 

●

Revenue from the sale of kiosks.

 

The Company imports, assembles and sell kiosks that are used to generate the revenues discussed above. Revenue is recognized on the full value of the kiosks sold, net of any valued added taxation collected on behalf of the Mexican Revenue Authorities, when the customer takes delivery of the kiosk and all the risks and rewards of ownership are passed to the customer.

 

The Company does not enter into any leasing of kiosks arrangements with customers and the Company does not generate any revenues from merchants who access its terminals as yet.

 

3	GOING CONCERN

 

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has incurred a loss since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $15,056,674 as of March 31, 2018 and has not generated sufficient revenue to cover its operating expenditure, raising substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of the financial statements. In addition to operational expenses, as the Company executes its business plan, additional capital resources will be required. The Company will need to raise capital in the near term in order to continue operating and executing its business plan. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company generating profitable operations in the future and/or obtaining the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. The Company’s plan is to expand its market penetration by deploying more kiosks through various channels, thereby increasing revenues. In addition, the Company intends to raise additional equity or loan funds to meet its short term working capital needs. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

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 April 17, 2018. This discussion contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, as described under the heading “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 Qpagos.

 

Overview and Financial Condition

We are a provider of next generation physical and virtual payment services that we introduced to the Mexican market in the third quarter of 2014. We have a ten-year renewable exclusive license agreement for the use of technology that can be used to perform services that are similar to services that have been successfully deployed with this technology in several European, Asian, North and South American countries.

 

We provide 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 our network quickly and securely. We help 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. For example, we license technology that can be used to pay bills, add minutes to mobile phones, purchase transportation tickets, shop online, buy digital services or send money to third parties.

 

Our current focus is on Mexico which remains a cash-dominated society for retail consumer payments with approximately 80% of the value of personal payments exchanged in cash (Bank of Mexico). The penetration of electronic payment services, such as credit and debit cards and point of sale terminals, significantly lags behind more developed economies. We believe that opportunities for our services in Mexico are vast. With over 109 million mobile subscribers in Mexico, 85% of which are under prepaid plans, mobile top-up alone, was a $13 billion business in 2017 as reported by the Competitive Intelligence Unit (the “CIU”). We believe that there is opportunity for growth in the Mexican market and we have expanded to service providers beyond the mobile telephone operators to service provides of electricity, transportation, utilities, municipal services and taxes, consumer credit installments, insurance premiums, and many more.

 

Our primary strategy in Mexico to date has been the attraction of service providers as well as the deployment of kiosks through Redpag Electrónicos, our kiosk management subsidiary. During the three months ended March 31, 2018 we generated net revenues of $1,464,789 as compared to $927,310 for the three months ended March 31, 2017, an increase of $537,479 or 58.0%. For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, we generated net revenues of $3,941,273 and $2,691,896, respectively, from our operations in Mexico, a 46.4% increase. Our primary source of revenue are fees we receive for processing payments made by consumers to service providers. We also generate revenue from non-payment services such as kiosk sales. Qpagos Corporation currently has in excess of 140 service providers integrated into its payment gateway, which includes all mobile phone providers in Mexico as well as most utility companies, financial services, entertainment venues, the national lottery’s Pronosticos and others. As of March 31, 2018, Qpagos Corporation deployed over 224 kiosks and terminals and we service an additional 440 kiosks of independent distributors. Our kiosks and terminals can be found at convenience stores, next to metro stations, retail stores, airport terminals, education centers, and malls in major urban centers, as well as many small and rural towns.

 

  

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 consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2018 and 2017, 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, 2018 and March 31, 2017

 

Net revenue

 

Net revenues in our Mexican operations were $1,464,789 and $927,310 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, an increase of $537,479 or 58.0%. Our primary revenue generating operations are based in Mexico and our functional currency is the Mexican Peso. Our revenue in Mexican Pesos increased to MXN 27,445,313 from MXN 17,948,643 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, an increase of MXN 9,496,670 or 52.9%. The increase in revenue in MXN terms is primarily due to an increase in the value of prepaid airtime sold of MXN 11,521,831, offset by a reduction in kiosk sales from MXN 2,205,000 in the prior period to MXN 0, no kiosks were sold during the current period. The average US$ exchange rate has weakened against the MXN over the prior comparable period, from $19.3556 to $18.7367 or 3.3%, which results in a higher revenue growth in US $ terms of $46,837.

 

 Cost of goods sold

 

Cost of goods sold in our Mexican operations were $1,520,666 and $853,452 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, an increase of $667,214 or 78.2%. Our cost of sales from our Mexican operations, in Mexican Pesos increased to MXN 28,492,276 from MXN 16,519,074 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, an increase of MXN 11,973,202 or 72.5%. The increase in cost of sales in MXN terms is primarily due to the increase in the value of prepaid airtime sold. Cost of goods consists primarily of services acquired from third parties, such as prepaid air time and the cost of the kiosks and any retrofitted components. Also included in cost of goods sold is depreciation related to kiosks that are used in the production of income. Depreciation expense was $9,905 and $8,968, for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, an increase of $937. The average US $ exchange rate has weakened against the MXN over the prior period, from $19.3556 to $18.7367 or 3.3%, which results in a higher cost of sales in US $ terms of $48,622. 

 

Gross (loss) profit

 

Gross (loss) profit in our Mexican operations was $(55,877) and $73,858 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, a decrease of $129,735 or 175.7%. The components of gross (loss) profit include the following:

  

	●	Gross loss on sales of services was $53,602 and gross profit of $27,494, for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, a decrease of $81,096 or 295.0%. The increase in gross loss was due to certain accounting adjustments impacting on our cost of sales.
	●	Gross loss on kiosks was $4,086 and a gross profit of $58,818 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and  2017, respectively, an increase in loss of $62,904.  No kiosks were sold during the period, however an inventory adjustment was processed.
	●	Commissions earned on services was $16,388 and $10,060 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, an increase of $6,328 or 62.9% due to an increase in volumes of commission generating sales.
	●	Other gross profit includes other cost of sales expense of $9,966 and $15,183 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, a decrease of $5,217 or 34.3%. The cost of sales expense consists primarily of repairs and maintenance expenditure on kiosks and is dependent on the amount of activity during the quarter, trends in this expense are not easily identifiable as the majority of the repair work in on a needs only basis.
	●	Included in gross profit is depreciation related to those kiosks that are used in the production of income.  Depreciation expense was $9,905 and $8,968 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, an increase of $937 or 10.4%.

 

 

General and administrative expenses

 

General and administrative expenses were $560,078 and $457,587 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, an increase of $102,491 or 22.4%. We incur operating expenditure both in Mexico and in the US, where we maintain a corporate office and incur certain expenditure on consultants, licensing and public reporting activities.

 

i.

The general and administrative expenditure in Mexico decreased to MXN 3,295,768 ($175,899) from MXN 4,018,966 ($207,638) for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, a decrease of MXN 723,198 ($31,739) or 18.0%. The decrease is primarily due to lower salary costs and a concerted effort to reduce administrative costs.

 

ii.

The general administrative expenses incurred in the US, during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 was $384,179 and $249,949, respectively, an increase of $134,230 or 53.7%, primarily due to an increase in capital raising fees of $96,224 due to convertible notes issued during the current period for early settlement penalties paid by third parties and IT consulting expenses which increased by $21,955 over the prior period. These expenses include the cost of our CTO during the current period, in the prior year, he was paid out of the Mexican operations.

 

Depreciation and amortization

 

Depreciation and amortization expense was $12,406 and $16,791 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, a decrease of $4,385 or 26.1%. The decrease is primarily due to a lower depreciation charge in our Mexican operations as the bulk of the depreciation charge is allocated to cost of sales.

 

Other (expense) income

 

Other (expense) income was $(2,478,599) and $100 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Other expense during the current period includes a loss realized on the conversion of convertible notes into equity at conversion prices ranging from 38% to 40% below current market prices. During the current period, $1,778,521 of convertible notes were converted to equity.

 

Interest expense, net

 

Interest expense was $1,245,786 and $141,600 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, an increase of $1,104,186 or 779.8%. The increase consists primarily of the amortization of debt discount on convertible notes of $1,143,583 and $113,563 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, an increase of $1,030,020 due to the increase in funding through convertible notes during the past year and interest expense of $102,024 and $28,038 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, an increase of $73,986 primarily due to interest on the equipment loans recognized during the current period.

 

Derivative liability movements

 

Derivative liability movements were $2,531,332 and $(247,770) for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The derivative liability arose due to the issuance of convertible securities with variable conversion prices and no floor conversion price. The credit during the current period represents the mark-to-market of the derivative liability outstanding as of March 31, 2018 and the release of derivative liabilities relating to notes converted during the current period.

 

Foreign currency gain

 

The foreign currency gain was $152,931 and $233,852 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, a decrease of $80,921. The decrease is primarily due to the mark to market of foreign currency assets and liabilities due to the movements in exchange rates. 

 

Net loss

 

We incurred a net loss of $1,668,483 and $555,938, for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, an increase of $1,112,545 or 200.1%, primarily due to the gross loss realized during the quarter, the loss realized on convertible note conversions during the period and amortization of debt discount during the current period, as discussed above.

 

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

To date, our primary sources of cash have been funds raised primarily from the sale of our debt securities as well as revenue derived from operations.

  

We incurred an accumulated deficit of $15,056,674 through March 31, 2018 and incurred negative cash flow from operations of $308,749 for the three months ended March 31, 2018. We have spent, and need to continue to spend, substantial amounts in connection with implementing our business strategy, including our planned product development effort and will be required to raise additional funding.

 

We will need to generate additional revenue from operations and/or obtain additional financing to pursue our business strategy, repay our outstanding note obligations and take advantage of business opportunities that may arise. To meet our financing needs, we are considering multiple alternatives, including, but not limited to, additional equity financings and, debt financings and/or funding from partnerships. There can be no assurance that we will be able to complete any such transactions on acceptable terms or otherwise and may have to significantly curtail our operations.

 

At March 31, 2018, we had cash of $54,025 and a negative working capital of $2,182,334, including a derivative liability of $1,414,834, after eliminating the derivative liability our working capital deficit is $767,500. We believe that the current cash balances together with revenue anticipated to be generated from operations will not be sufficient to meet our current working capital needs and as mentioned above, we will seek further funding from either equity issues or further debt funding, should we not be successful, we may have to curtail our operations significantly.

 

We utilized cash of $308,749 and $270,901 in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, an increase of $37,848 or 14.0%. The increase is primarily due to the movements in working capital over the prior period.

 

We had minimal investment in property and equipment of $1,800 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

 

We funded our operations by utilizing our cash balances and raising an additional $501,500 through debt issuances.

 

Subsequent to March 31, 2018 we raised an additional $185,000 in convertible debt funding.

 

Other than amounts owed under convertible notes, we have minimal commitments which include the office facility lease agreement with a future commitment as of March 31, 2018 of $30,393 for the remainder of 2018 and $40,524 for 2019, subject to exchange rate changes.

 

We entered into an additional ten-year licensing agreement with the Licensor on May 1, 2015, whereby we are committed to pay an annual license fee in quarterly installments of $5,000 ($20,000 per annum) to the Licensor for an exclusive license for the Mexican market of certain revenue payment services.

 

Our primary financial commitments as of the date hereof are payments owed under the License Agreement. The minimum commitments due under the license agreement is summarized as follows:

 

		Amount
2018			20,100
2019			20,100

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, 2018 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, 2018 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
