The OLB Group, Inc.

Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

September 30, 2018

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 – BACKGROUND

 

The Company incorporated in the State of Delaware on November 18, 2004 for the purpose of merging with OLB.com (On-line Business), Inc., a New York corporation incorporated in 1993 (“OLB.com”). The merger was done for the purpose of changing our state of incorporation from New York to Delaware.

 

The Company sells integrated financial and transaction processing services to businesses throughout the United States. These services are provided through our wholly-owned subsidiaries, eVance and Securus. Through our eVance subsidiary, we provide an integrated suite of third-party merchant payment processing services and related proprietary software enabling products that deliver credit and debit card-based internet payments processing solutions primarily to small and mid-sized merchants operating in physical “brick and mortar” business environments, on the internet and in retail settings requiring both wired and wireless mobile payment solutions. We operate as an independent sales organization (“ISO”) generating individual merchant processing contracts in exchange for future residual payments. As a wholesale ISO, eVance has a direct contractual relationship with the merchants and takes greater responsibility in the approval and monitoring of merchants than do retail ISOs and we receive additional consideration for this service and risk. Securus operates as a retail ISO and receives residual income as commission for merchants it places with third party processors.

 

CrowdPay.us, Inc. is a Crowdfunding platform used to facilitate a capital raise anywhere from $1,000,0000 -$50,000,000 of various types of securities under 506c, Reg CF, Reg A+ and Form S1.

 

Omnisoft.io, Inc. is a platform for small merchants The Omnicommerce applications works on an iPad mobile and the web allows you to sell a store’s products in a physical, retail setting. It’s quick and easy: browse your store’s catalog, pick a customer’s products, swipe their credit card, and print their receipt or send it through email. Integrated with 80% of the merchant processors.

 

We also offer monthly subscription packages which includes a health benefits package. These arrangements are generally renewable monthly and revenue is recognized over the renewal period. 

 

We also provide ecommerce development and consulting services on a project by project basis.

 

Memorandum of Sale

 

On April 9, 2018, Securus365, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Securus”), eVance Capital, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“eVance Capital”), and eVance Inc., a Delaware corporation (“eVance”, and collectively with Securus and eVance Capital, the “Purchasers”), each of which Purchaser is a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of The OLB Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Memorandum of Sale (the “Memorandum of Sale”) by and among the Purchasers and GACP Finance Co., LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“GACP”), in its capacity as administrative agent and collateral agent to certain secured lenders of the Debtors (as defined below), pursuant to which the Purchasers acquired substantially all of the assets of the Debtors (the “Asset Acquisition”) through a foreclosure sale arranged by GACP under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York (“UCC”) of the collateral of Excel Corporation (“Excel”) and its subsidiaries Payprotec Oregon, LLC, Excel Business Solutions, Inc. and eVance Processing, Inc. (Excel and such subsidiaries, collectively, the “Debtors”) under the Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of November 2, 2016, by and among GACP, the lenders thereunder and the Debtors and related loan documents, as amended (the “Excel Loan and Security Agreement”).

 

GACP exercised its post-default remedies and realized on the collateral securing the Debtors’ obligations under the Excel Loan and Security Agreement by conducting a public auction of certain assets of the Debtors on April 9, 2018 in accordance with the UCC. The Purchasers submitted the Memorandum of Sale at such auction, which constituted the Purchasers’ bid for substantially all of the assets of the Debtors (“Acquired Assets”), which bid was accepted by GACP on April 9, 2018 in connection with the simultaneous signing and closing (the “Closing”) of the transactions contemplated under the Memorandum of Sale and the Credit Agreement (defined below).

 

5

 

 

In consideration for the sale and transfer of the Acquired Assets at the Closing, the Purchasers assumed certain post-Closing obligations under assigned contracts and paid to GACP the sum of $12,500,000, through the deemed simultaneous financing of such purchase price to the Purchasers under the Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the Memorandum of Sale, the Purchasers purchased from GACP and accepted all of the Debtors’ right, title and interest in and to the Acquired Assets “as is”, “where is” and “with all faults” and without any representations or warranties, express or implied, of any nature whatsoever. Any representations made by the parties in the Memorandum of Sale did not survive the Closing, and there is no indemnification rights for either party’s breach. 

 

Effective May 9, 2018, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with Crowdpay.US, Inc., a New York corporation (“Crowdpay”), for which the Company issued 87,500,000 shares of common stock for all of the authorized stock of Crowdpay. Crowdpay became a wholly owned subsidiary of OLB.

 

Effective May 9, 2018, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with OMNISOFT, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“OMNISOFT”), for which the Company issued 55,000,000 shares of common stock for all of the authorized stock of OMNISOFT. OMNISOFT became a wholly owned subsidiary of OLB.

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring items, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the periods shown and are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2018. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2017 included on the Company’s Form 10-K. The results of the nine months ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2018.

 

Use of Estimates

 

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

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, eVance, Securus, Crowdpay.US, and OMNISOFT, Inc. All financial information has been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The assets and liabilities of CrowdPay and Omnisoft in these financial statements have been reflected on a historical cost basis because the transfer of CrowdPay and Omnisoft to the Company is considered a common control transaction. When the Company acquired CrowdPay and Omnisoft, the Company, CrowdPay and Omnisoft were under direct control of Mr. Ronny Yakov, CEO.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all cash accounts, which are not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties, and all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less as cash and cash equivalents. The carrying amount of financial instruments included in cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value because of the short maturities for the instruments held. 

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition cost over the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired in connection with an acquisition. Goodwill is assessed for impairment annually or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable represent contractual residual payments due from the Company’s processing partners. These residual payments are determined based on transaction fees and revenues from the credit and debit card processing activity of merchants for which the Company’s processing partners pay the Company. Based on collection experience and periodic reviews of outstanding receivables, management considers all accounts receivable to be fully collectible and accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts is required.

 

6

 

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation of property and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from five to ten years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the expected term of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

 

Residual Portfolios

 

Residual portfolios are valued at fair value on the date of acquisition and are amortized over their estimated useful lives (7 years).

 

Equity Investments

 

Equity investments are valued at fair value on the date of acquisition using the equity method of accounting and adjusted in subsequent periods for the Company’s share of the investment’s earnings and distributions.

 

Indefinite Lived Intangibles Assets and Goodwill

 

The Company accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” where the total purchase price is allocated to the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The purchase price is allocated using the information currently available, and may be adjusted, up to one year from acquisition date, after obtaining more information regarding, among other things, asset valuations, liabilities assumed and revisions to preliminary estimates. The purchase price in excess of the fair value of the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill.

 

The Company tests for indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill impairment in the fourth quarter of each year and whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value and may not be recoverable. In accordance with its policies, the Company performed a qualitative assessment of indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, and determined there was no impairment of indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill.

 

Business Combinations

 

Acquisitions are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. The purchase price of an acquisition is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed using the estimated fair values at the acquisition date. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.

 

We allocate the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows from acquired customer lists, acquired technology, and trade names from a market participant perspective, useful lives and discount rates. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. During the measurement period, which is one year from the acquisition date, we may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to earnings.

 

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

 

The acquisition of assets purchased from Great American Capital Partners (GACP) as well as OmniSoft and CrowdPay as a wholly subsidiaries the GACP assets have been allocated to a new wholly owned subsidiary eVance, Inc. into The OLB Group are considered common control transactions. Prior to the acquisition of the Assets, all 3 companies into The OLB Group, are GACP purchase assets OMNISOFT and CrowdPay by Mr. Yakov and Mr. Herzog, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, beginning on April 9, 2018. When businesses that will be consolidated by the Company, is acquired from GACP, the transaction was accounted for as if the transfer had occurred at the beginning of the period of transfer, with prior periods retrospectively adjusted to furnish comparative information. The acquisitions of the assets were a transfer of businesses between entities under common control. Accordingly, the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements and related notes have been retrospectively adjusted to include the historical results and financial position of the acquired entities prior to the effective dates of such acquisitions. The financial information for the acquisition of assets has been included in the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements beginning on April 9, 2018 as OLB Group only had nominal activities from April 9, 2018, when Mr. Yakov acquired control of the Company.

The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) and are expressed in U.S. dollars. The consolidated financial statements are comprised of the records of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries: eVance, CrowdPay and OmniSoft. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated on consolidation. The assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries in these financial statements have been reflected on a historical cost basis because the transfer of eVance, CrowdPay and OmniSoft to the Company is considered a common control transaction. When the Company acquired assets from GACP and OMNISOFT and CrowdPay, the Company, CrowdPay and OmniSoft were under direct control of Mr. Yakov and Mr. Herzog.

 

Stock-based Compensation

 

We account for equity-based transactions with nonemployees under the provisions of ASC Topic No. 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees (“ASC 505-50”). ASC 505-50 establishes that equity-based payment transactions with nonemployees shall be measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The fair value of common stock issued for payments to nonemployees is measured at the market price on the date of grant. The fair value of equity instruments, other than common stock, is estimated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. In general, we recognize the fair value of the equity instruments issued as deferred stock compensation and amortize the cost over the term of the contract.

 

We account for employee stock-based compensation in accordance with the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and credited to additional paid-in capital over the period during which services are rendered.

 

Net Loss per Share

 

Net income (loss) per common share is computed pursuant to section ASC 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.  Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during the period.  The weighted average number of common shares outstanding and potentially outstanding common shares assumes that the Company incorporated as of the beginning of the first period presented. The weighted average number of common shares for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and the period from April 9, 2108 through September 30, 2018 do not include warrants to acquire 1,200,000 shares of common stock because of their anti-dilutive effect.

 

Acquisition Reporting

 

As discussed in Note 1, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Company purchased certain assets used in the integrated financial and transaction processing services business.

 

The unaudited interim consolidated condensed financial statements herein are presented under predecessor entity reporting and because the acquiring entity had nominal operations as compared with the acquired stations (“Predecessor Business”), prior historical information of the acquirer is not presented.

 

This new basis of accounting was created on April 9, 2018, the effective date of the Asset Purchase Agreement. In the following discussion, the results of operations and cash flows for the periods ended on or prior to April 9, 2018, and the financial position of the Predecessor Business as of balance sheet dates on or prior to April 9, 218 are referred to herein as “Predecessor” financial information, and the results of operations and cash flows of the Company for periods beginning on April 9, 2018 and the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2018 and subsequent balance sheet dates are referred to herein as “Successor” consolidated financial information.

 

Revenue and cost recognition

 

The Company follows paragraph 605-10-S99-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition.  The Company will recognize revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned.  The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the product has been shipped or the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.

 

The Company receives a percentage of recurring monthly transaction related fees comprised of credit and debit card fees charged to merchants, net of association fees, otherwise known as Interchange, as well as certain service charges and convenience fees, for payment processing services, including authorization, capture, clearing, settlement and information reporting of electronic transactions. Fees are calculated on either a percentage of the dollar volume of the transaction or a fixed fee or a hybrid of the two and are recognized at the time of the transaction. In the case of “wholesale” residual revenue in which the Company has a direct contractual relationship with the merchant, bears risk of chargebacks and performs underwriting on the merchants, the Company records the full discount charged to the merchant as revenue and the related interchange and other processing fees as expenses. In cases of residual revenue where the Company is not responsible for merchant underwriting and has no chargeback liability and has no or limited contractual relationship with the merchant, the Company records the amount it receives from the processor net of interchange and other processing fees as revenue.

 

8

 

 

The Company acts as an ISO offering alternative financing and working capital solutions (merchant cash advances) to small and medium sized businesses using a variety of third-party funding sources. As an ISO, we earn commissions from capital funders by placing their financial products with our merchant customers. This portion of our business does not yet represent a significant portion of our revenues, costs or assets.

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with FASB ASC 606, Revenue From Contracts with Customers.

 

Revenue is accounted for gross as a principal versus net as an agent. Revenue is recognized on a gross basis since our company has the risks and rewards of ownership, latitude in selection of vendors and pricing, and bears all credit risk.

 

The Company recognizes revenue on its Omni Commerce Solution licensing when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured.

 

Costs are recorded at the time the related revenue is recorded. Payment processing costs are recorded in the period the costs are incurred and customer acquisition costs are comprised primarily of telemarketing costs and service costs and other additional benefit services.

 

Membership Fees

 

The Company recognizes revenues from membership fees for the sales of health-related discount benefit plans as earned as part of the ShopFast program. These arrangements are generally renewable monthly, and revenue is recognized over the renewal period.  As these products often include elements sold through contracts with third-party providers, the Company considers each contractual arrangement in accordance with the Revenue Recognition topic of the FASB ASC 605. The Company’s current contracts meet these requirements for reporting revenue on a gross basis. The Company records a reduction in revenue for refunds, chargebacks from credit card companies, and allowances based upon actual history and management’s evaluation of current facts and circumstances.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of the transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to tax net operating loss carryforwards. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of these differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when assets and liabilities are recovered or settled, as well as operating loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is established against deferred tax assets when in the judgment of management, it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will not become available. Because the judgment about the level of future taxable income is dependent to a great extent on matters that may, at least in part, be beyond the Company’s control, it is at least reasonably possible that management’s judgment about the need for a valuation allowance for deferred taxes could change in the near term.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC Topic No. 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels, as described below:

 

Level 1: Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2: Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets, quoted prices in markets that are not considered to be active, and observable inputs other than quoted prices such as interest rates.

 

Level 3: Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs.

The following required disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments has been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required to interpret market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

 

The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair values of each class of financial instruments are as follows:

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Accounts Receivable, Other Current Assets, Accounts Payable, Accrued Compensation and Other Accrued Liabilities.

  

The items are generally short-term in nature, and accordingly, the carrying amounts reported on the consolidated balance sheets are reasonable approximations of their fair values.

 

Note Receivable, Other Long Term Assets, Notes Payable, and Other Long Term Liabilities.

 

The carrying amounts approximate the fair value as the notes bear interest rates that are consistent with current market rates.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company has reviewed other recently issued accounting pronouncements and plans to adopt those that are applicable to it. The Company does not expect the adoption of any other pronouncements to have an impact on its results of operations or financial position. 

 

NOTE 3 – LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

  

On April 9, 2018, the Company consummated a business acquisition and as discussed in Note 1, has also created three new subsidiaries, acquired certain assets, including cash, and revenue generating operations. The Company has borrowed $1,000,000 from a private investor in order to make its first scheduled payments on the Loan and Security Agreement (entered into on April 9, 2018) and is currently in the process of a capital raise of up to $7,500,000. If the full $7,500,000 is raised, the Company will have enough liquidly for the next several years and to make additional acquisitions as well as internal organic growth. This, along with the additional acquisitions of CrowdPay.US, Inc, and Omnisoft, Inc. should provide the company with the assets and operations it requires to pursue profitable business operations.

 

Since the consummation of the Excel’s subsidiaries’ Asset Acquisition and the share exchange, we have limited history upon which an evaluation of our performance and future prospects can be made. Our current and proposed operations are subject to all the business risks associated with new enterprises. These include likely fluctuation in operating results as we manage our growth and react to competitors and developments in the markets in which we compete.

 

In order to mitigate the above risk, the Company has obtained a written agreement from Mr. Herzog, a related party and significant stockholder, that he will provide any additional financial support if needed, in order to satisfy any debt or other obligations over the next twelve months. Mr. Herzog has a history of funding the company with related party loans. If necessary, the Company plans to continue to use the financial resources of its related parties in the future.

 

For the period April 9, 2018 through September 30, 2018 the Company had revenue of $6,192,130. Total revenue, including revenue from the predecessor company, from January 1, 2018 through September 30, 2018 was $9,382,116. For the period April 9, 2018 through September 30, 2018 the Company had a loss of $784,302 which included non-cash depreciation and amortization of $483,294. Currently management believes that the monthly cash from operations is sufficient to meet operating expenses and interest costs for the next twelve months.

 

As discussed in Note 12, the Company settled the second scheduled note obligation of $2,000,000 on November 14, 2018 from additional financial support from a related party investor.

NOTE 6 – BUSINESS COMBINATION

 

We allocate the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. Described in detail filed on May The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows from acquired customer lists, acquired technology, and trade names from a market participant perspective, useful lives and discount rates. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. During the measurement period, which is one year from the acquisition date, we may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to earnings.

 

Goodwill increased during the second quarter due to the acquisitions of eVance Inc, Securus356 and eVance Capital. OLB’s Form 8K dated April 13, 2018 includes more complete description of the acquisition. OLB obtained a term loan in the amount of $12,500,000 to complete the acquisition. The value of the loan was greater than the acquired assets increasing the balance of Goodwill.

 

The acquisition date estimated fair value of the consideration transferred consisted of the following:

 

Closing note payable  $12,500,000 
      
Tangible assets acquired  $2,968,589 
Liabilities assumed   (344,165)
Net tangible assets   2,624,424 
Residual values   4,353,070 
Goodwill   5,522,506 
Total purchase price  $12,500,000 

 

The above estimated fair value of the intangible assets is based on a preliminary purchase price allocation prepared by management. As a result, during the preliminary purchase price allocation period, which may be up to one year from the business combination date, we may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. After the preliminary purchase price allocation period, we record adjustments to assets acquired or liabilities assumed subsequent to the purchase price allocation period in our operating results in the period in which the adjustments were determined.

NOTE 7 – NOTE PAYABLE

 

In order to finance the Asset Acquisition, GACP, as administrative agent and collateral agent (“Agent”), and as the initial sole lender thereunder, provided a term loan of $12,500,000 (the “Term Loan”) to the Purchasers, Omnisoft, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Omnisoft”), and CrowdPay.us, Inc., a New York corporation (“CrowdPay” and, collectively with the Purchasers and Omnisoft, the “Borrowers”), each of Omnisoft and Crowdpay being affiliates of the Company’s majority stockholder, which obligations are guaranteed by the Company (collectively with the Borrowers, the “Loan Parties”), under the Loan and Security Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), dated as of April 9, 2018, by and among the Loan Parties, the lenders from time to time party thereto as lenders (the “Lenders”) and the Agent.

 

The Term Loan matures in full on April 9, 2021, the third anniversary of the Closing. $1,000,000 of the principal amount under the Term Loan must be repaid on or prior to July 15, 2018, and an additional $2,000,000 in principal due on or prior to October 31, 2018 (in each case subject to earlier repayment under certain circumstances, including if a Loan Party consummates an equity financing), with the remaining principal due upon maturity. The Term Loan can be prepaid without penalty in part by the Loan Parties with ten days’ prior written notice to the Agent, and in full within thirty days’ prior written notice. The Term Loan is subject to an interest rate of 9.0% per annum, payable monthly in arrears.

 

Pursuant to the Note Agreement, the Company issued warrants to acquire 1,200,000 shares of common stock (see Note 8) and recorded a debt discount of $159,026, During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recorded amortization expense of $27,289.

 

The obligations of the Loan Parties under the Credit Agreement are secured by all of their respective assets and the Loan Parties pledged all of their assets as collateral for their obligations under the Credit Agreement. Additionally, the Company pledged its ownership interests in the Purchasers and any of its other subsidiaries that it may form or acquire from time to time.

 

The Credit Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and financial and other covenants of the Loan Parties for the benefit of the Lenders and the Agent. The obligations of the Loan Parties under the Credit Agreement are subject to customary events of default for a secured term loan. Each Loan Party is jointly and severally liable for the obligations under the Credit Agreement.

 

On July 30, 2018, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Loan and Security Agreement (the “Amendment”) amending that certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of April 9, 2018 (the “Original Credit Agreement,” and as amended by the Amendment, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among GACP Finance Co., LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent, the lenders party thereto, Securus365, Inc., eVance, Inc., eVance Capital, Inc., OMNISOFT, Inc., and Crowdpay.us, Inc., as borrowers, and the Company, as parent guarantor. Pursuant to the Amendment, among other things, the lenders (i) waived the Company’s existing defaults under the Original Credit Agreement for its failure to make payment of $1,000,000 (the “initial payment”) under the Original Credit Agreement on or prior to July 15, 2018 and to deliver to the lenders unaudited monthly financial statements and compliance certificates of the Company, (ii) extended the date on which the initial payment was required to be made to July 30, 2018 and extended the date on which the Company is required to provide audited financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017, (iii) permitted the Company to enter into a subordinated loan arrangement for the Note concurrently with the Amendment such that the Company could make the initial payment under the terms of the Credit Agreement, and permitted the Note to be repaid either from the sale of the Note Collateral Shares or at any time after the second payment under the Credit Agreement. The Company has borrowed $1,000,000 from a private investor in order to make its first scheduled payment. At September 30, 2018, the principal amount due is $11,500,000 and the unamortized debt discount is $131,737. The Company is in default of its debt covenants and has received a waiver from GACP.

 

NOTE 8 – WARRANTS

 

Pursuant to and as additional consideration for the Term Loan under the Credit Agreement, on April 9, 2018 the Company issued to GACP a Warrant to purchase 1,200,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.25 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Warrant. The Warrant is exercisable by GACP at any time from the Issuance Date until the later of (i) the third (3rd) anniversary of the Issuance Date and (ii) the date on which all obligations under the Credit Agreement have been satisfied in full. The Warrant may be redeemed for $0.0001 per Warrant Share, at the sole discretion of the Company, at any time after the six (6) month anniversary of the Issuance Date if the closing sales price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $5.00 per share on each of the 20 trading days within any 30 day trading day period ending on the third (3rd) trading day prior to the date on which the Company provides a notice of redemption. GACP has certain piggy-back registration rights as set forth in the Warrant with respect to the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Warrant. After the six (6) month anniversary of the Issuance Date, GACP can exercise the Warrant using a “cashless exercise” feature to the extent that GACP exercises the Warrant for a number of Warrant Shares in excess of the number Warrant Shares that have been registered for resale under U.S. securities laws.

 

As additional consideration for the Term Loan under the Credit Agreement, on April 9, 2018 the Company also entered into a letter agreement (the “Additional Warrants Agreement”) with GACP, pursuant to which the Company agreed that if the Company at any time after the Closing and prior to the satisfaction of all outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement requests for GACP to provide debt financing for the acquisition of a company or operating business by the Company or its subsidiaries, and GACP or its affiliates provide all of the debt financing for such acquisition, the Company will issue to GACP a warrant to purchase 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (an “Additional Warrant”) upon the closing of such debt-financing, with such Additional Warrant in substantially the same form as the Warrant, up to a total of four (4) Additional Warrants for four debt-financed acquisitions under the Additional Warrants Agreement. The exercise price of the Additional Warrants, if issued, will be $0.30 per share for the first Additional Warrant, $0.35 per share for the second Additional Warrant, $0.40 per share for the third Additional Warrant and $0.45 per share for the fourth Additional Warrant, with the number of shares and exercise price subject to adjustment as set forth in the Additional Warrants Agreement and the Additional Warrant.

 

12

 

 

The warrants have an exercise price of $0.25 and expire in three years. The aggregate fair value of the warrants, which was allocated against the debt proceeds totaled $159,026 based on the Black Scholes Merton pricing model using the following estimates: exercise price of $0.25, 2.43% risk free rate, 198.92% volatility, dividend yield of 0% and expected life of the warrants of 3 years. The fair value was credited to additional paid in capital and debited to debt discount to be amortized over the term of the loan.

 

A summary of the status of the Company’s outstanding stock warrants and changes during the periods is presented below:

Company Overview and Description of Business

 

We were incorporated in the State of Delaware on November 18, 2004. The OLB Group, is a FinTech company that focuses on a suite of products in the Merchant Services and payment facilitator verticals, that is focused on providing integrated business solutions to merchants throughout the United States.  We seek to accomplish this by providing merchants with a wide range of products and services through our various online platforms, including financial and transaction processing services and support for crowdfunding and other capital raising initiatives. We supplement our online platforms with certain hardware solutions that are integrated with our online platforms. Our business functions primarily through three wholly-owned subsidiaries, eVance, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“eVance”), Omnisoft.io, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Omnisoft”), and CrowdPay.Us, Inc., a New York corporation (“Crowdpay”).


eVance is an ISO and payment facilitator that provides financial and transaction processing solutions to merchants throughout the United States.  eVance focuses on both obtaining and maintaining new merchant contracts for its own account (including, but not limited to, merchants that utilize the Omnisoft platform) and also obtaining and maintaining merchant contracts obtained by third-party ISOs (for which we negotiate a shared fee arrangement). Leveraging our relationship with three of the top five merchant processors in the United States (representing approximately 80-90% of the merchant processing market) and with use of our proprietary software, eVance provides competitive payment processing solutions to merchants which enable merchants to process credit and debit card-based internet payments for sales of their products at competitive prices (whether such sales occur online or at a "brick and mortar" location).  Our payment gateway (which we call “SecurePay”) also enables merchants to reduce the cost of transacting with their customers by removing the need for a third-party payment gateway solution.  eVance operates as both a wholesale ISO and a retail ISO depending on the risk profile of the merchant and the applicable merchant processor and acquiring bank. As a wholesale ISO, eVance underwrites the processing transactions for merchants, establishing a direct relationship with the merchant and generating individual merchant processing contracts in exchange for future residual payments.  As a retail ISO, eVance primarily gathers the documents and information that our partners (acquiring banks and acquiring processors) need to underwrite merchants’ transactions and as a result receives only residual income as commission for merchants it places with our partners.

 

Omnisoft operates a cloud-based business management platform that provides turnkey solutions for merchants to enable them to build and manage their retail businesses, whether online or at a “brick and mortar” location. The Omnisoft platform, which can be accessed by merchants through any mobile and computing device, allows merchants to, among other features, manage and track inventory, track sales and process customer transactions and can provide interactive data analysis concerning sales of products and need for additional inventory. Merchants generally utilize the platform by uploading to the platform information about their inventory (description of units, number of units, price per unit, and related information).  Once such information has been uploaded, merchants, either with their own device or with hardware that we sell directly to them, are able to utilize the platform to monitor inventory and process and track sales of their products (including coordinating shipping of their products with third party logistics companies). We manage and maintain the Omnisoft platform through a variety of domain names or a merchant can integrate our platform with their own domain name. Using the Omnisoft platform, merchants can “check-out” their customers at their “brick and mortar” stores or can sell products to customers online, in both cases accepting payment via a simple credit card or debit card transaction (either swiping the credit card or entering the credit card number), a cash payment, or by use of a QR code or loyalty and reward points, and then print or email receipts to the customer.

 

CrowdPay.us operates a white label capital raising platform that is used mainly by small and midsized businesses seeking to raise capital and by registered broker-dealers seeking to host capital raising campaigns for such businesses by integrating the platform onto their website.  Our CrowdPay platform is tailored for companies seeking to raise money through a crowdfunding offering of between $1 million and $50 million pursuant to Regulation CF under Title III of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (the “JOBS Act”), offerings pursuant to Rule 506(b) and Rule 506(c) under Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and offerings pursuant to Regulation A+ of the Securities Act.  Our platform, which can be used for multiple offerings at once, provides companies and broker-dealers with an easy-to-use, turnkey solution to support company offerings, allowing companies and broker-dealers to easily present online to potential investors relevant marketing and offering materials and by aiding in the accreditation and background check processes to ensure investors meets the applicable requirements under the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). CrowdPay charges a fee to each company and broker-dealer for the use of its platform under a fee structure that is agreed to between CrowdPay and the company and/or broker-dealer prior to the initiation of the offering.

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements that are included elsewhere in this report. While we are required to provide historic financial information for the Predecessor, readers should not place undue reliance on historic Predecessor financial information which is unaudited. In addition, there are no assurances that the results of operations of the Predecessor will be comparable to our results of operations in future periods.

 

As described elsewhere herein, our revenues for the Successor period include revenues from our Parent Company, The OLB Group, Inc, OmniSoft, Inc and Crowdpay.US, Inc, together with revenues from the Predecessors’ businesses. Revenue from all but the Predecessors’ Company are considered to be immaterial. These revenues are reflected in a separate column on our unaudited consolidated statement of operations appearing elsewhere in this report.

  

Overview

 

We sell integrated financial and transaction processing services to businesses throughout the United States. These services are provided through our wholly-owned subsidiaries, eVance and Securus. Through our eVance subsidiary, we provide an integrated suite of third-party merchant payment processing services and related proprietary software enabling products that deliver credit and debit card-based internet payments processing solutions primarily to small and mid-sized merchants operating in physical “brick and mortar” business environments, on the internet and in retail settings requiring both wired and wireless mobile payment solutions. We operate as an independent sales organization (“ISO”) generating individual merchant processing contracts in exchange for future residual payments. As a wholesale ISO, eVance has a direct contractual relationship with the merchants and takes greater responsibility in the approval and monitoring of merchants than do retail ISOs and we receive additional consideration for this service and risk. Securus operates as a retail ISO and receives residual income as commission for merchants it places with third party processors.

We are finalizing the integration of all the applications for OmniSoft and the shopfast Omnicommerce solution with the eVance mobile payment gateway SecurePay.com. The gateway is used by approximately 3,000 merchants processing over 32,000 transactions and approximately $9,000,000 of monthly gross transactions. We are also launching our new Merchant and ISO boarding system that will be able to board merchants instantly online. This will providing the merchant with an automated approval and ISOs will have the ability to see all their merchants and their residuals as they load to the system.

 

Our back office risk and compliance system, Ingres, is connected to a list of risk and mitigation vendors and tools that instantly give us an in-depth understanding of new merchant applications. This allows our internal dashboard to provide Artificial intelligence information on the merchant.

 

The available merchant information processed through our systems gives us the ability to make intelligent decisions about what services we can provide to specific merchants. Services such as small business loans and instant cash advances.

 

During the fourth quarter the company is putting all the software applications in soft launch as beta testing. The products will officially launch in the first quarter 2019.

 

The Company plans to focus on prime verticals such as small banks that don’t have merchant services in-house. This allows us to be the merchant services provider for the bank and their merchants.

 

The Company is also in the process of becoming a Payment Facilitator (PayFac). The PayFac model allows us to instantly underwrite merchants and take the credit risk.

 

We are adding additional services to our payment gateway to provide services such as ACH and cloud based billings.

 

CrowdPay plans to increase the platform services for crowd funding by offering its white labeled solutions to issuers and investment banking firms.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

During the period April 9, 2018 through September 30, 2018, we used $19,559 of cash in operating activities and was provided with $44,575 of cash from the acquisition of the Excel business. We also netted $25,000 from financing activities from a short-term loan provided by our CEO.

 

As described in Note 7 in order to finance the Asset Acquisition, the Company executed a term loan agreement with GACP, for $12,500,000. The Term Loan matures in full on April 9, 2021, the third anniversary of the Closing. $1,000,000 of the principal amount under the Term Loan must be repaid on or prior to July 15, 2018, and an additional $2,000,000 in principal due on or prior to October 31, 2018 (in each case subject to earlier repayment under certain circumstances, including if a Loan Party consummates an equity financing), with the remaining principal due upon maturity. The Term Loan can be prepaid without penalty in part by the Loan Parties with ten days’ prior written notice to the Agent, and in full with thirty days’ prior written notice. The Term Loan is subject to an interest rate of 9.0% per annum, payable monthly in arrears.

 

On July 30, 2018, pursuant to the terms of the Amendment, the Company issued to John Herzog, a related party and significant stockholder of the Company (the “payee”), a subordinated promissory note in the principal amount of $1,000,000 (the “Note”) for cash proceeds of $1,000,000. The Note matures on March 31, 2019 (though the Company has the right to prepay the Note, in whole or in part, at any time prior to maturity) and bears interest at a rate of 12% per annum, compounding annually. The Note is secured by shares of common stock of a publicly traded company held by the Company. The Note is subordinated to the Credit Agreement, other than the Note Collateral Shares.

 

The Company used the proceeds received by the Payee to make the initial payment under the Credit Agreement.

 

On April 9, 2018, the Company consummated a business acquisition and as discussed in Note 1 has also created three new subsidiaries, acquired certain assets, including cash, and revenue generating operations that will enable the Company to fund its operations going forward. The Company has borrowed $1,000,000 from John Herzog a related party and significant stockholder of the Company in order to make its first scheduled payments on the Loan and Security Agreement (entered into on April 9, 2018) and is currently in the process of a capital raise of up to $5,000,000. If the full $5,000,000 is raised, the Company will have enough liquidly for the next several years.

 

As shown in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, as of September 30, 2018, the Company had a cash balance of $92,486 and total revenue from April 9, 2018 through September 30, 2018 of $6,192,130. Total revenue, including revenue from the predecessor company, from January 1, 2018 through September 30, 2018 was $9,382,116. Management believes that the monthly cash flow from operations will be sufficient to cover operating expenses for the upcoming year.

 

On November 14, 2018, the $2,000,000 second payment due under the Original Credit Agreement (Mote 7) that was due by October 31, 2018 was paid. Some of the covenants from the lender will now be removed based on the original agreement from April 9, 2018 as a result of the this payment having been made. There are no financial short-term obligations other than the monthly interest payment and the company is not currently in default with the lender.

 

On November 14, 2018, the Company issued to John Herzog, a related party and significant stockholder of the Company a subordinated promissory note in the principal amount of $2,000,000 for cash proceeds of $2,000,000. The Note matures on November 14, 2019 (though the Company has the right to prepay the Note, in whole or in part, at any time prior to maturity) and bears interest at a rate of 12% per annum, compounding annually. The Note is secured by shares of common stock of a publicly traded company held by the Company. The Note is subordinated to the Credit Agreement, other than the Note Collateral Shares. The Company used the proceeds received by the Payee to make the payment under the Credit Agreement.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and disclosures on the date of the financial statements. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates including, but not limited to, those related to revenue recognition. We use authoritative pronouncements, historical experience and other assumptions as the basis for making judgments. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We believe that the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

 

Revenue

 

The Company recognizes revenue on its Omni Commerce Solution licensing when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured.

 

Costs are recorded at the time the related revenue is recorded. Payment processing costs are recorded in the period the costs are incurred and customer acquisition costs are comprised primarily of telemarketing costs and service costs and other additional benefit services.

 

Membership Fees

 

The Company recognizes revenues from membership fees for the sales of health-related discount benefit plans as earned as part of the ShopFast program. These arrangements are generally renewable monthly and revenue is recognized over the renewal period. As these products often include elements sold through contracts with third-party providers, the Company considers each contractual arrangement in accordance with the Revenue Recognition topic of the FASB ASC 605. The Company’s current contracts meet these requirements for reporting revenue on a gross basis. The Company records a reduction in revenue for refunds, chargeback’s from credit card companies, and allowances based upon actual history and management’s evaluation of current facts and circumstances.

 

Business Combinations

 

We allocate the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows from acquired customer lists, acquired technology, and trade names from a market participant perspective, useful lives and discount rates. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. During the measurement period, which is one year from the acquisition date, we may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to earnings.

 

Indefinite Lived Intangibles and Goodwill Assets

 

The Company accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” where the total purchase price is allocated to the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The purchase price is allocated using the information currently available, and may be adjusted, up to one year from acquisition date, after obtaining more information regarding, among other things, asset valuations, liabilities assumed and revisions to preliminary estimates. The purchase price in excess of the fair value of the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill.

 

The Company tests for indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill impairment in the fourth quarter of each year and whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value and may not be recoverable. In accordance with its policies, the Company performed a qualitative assessment of indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, and determined there was no impairment of indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill.

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition cost over the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired in connection with an acquisition. Goodwill is assessed for impairment annually or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred.

 

18

 

 

Residual Portfolios

 

Residual portfolios are valued at fair value on the date of acquisition and are amortized over their estimated useful lives (7 years).

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and, as such, are not required to provide the information under this Item.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Disclosure Control and Procedures

 

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Company carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer.

 

Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Interim Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective at September 30, 2018 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial officer as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers, and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting using the Internal Control – Integrated Framework developed by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our internal control over financial reporting were not effective as of September 30, 2018.

 

We are aware of the following material weaknesses in internal control that could adversely affect the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data:

 

Due to the size of the Company, we lack the personnel to maintain an adequate level of separation of duties.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to material affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
