ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

General Development

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

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

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

Overview

Overview

REGO Payment Architectures, Inc. is a provider of consumer software that delivers a mobile payment platform - Mazoola® - a family focused mobile banking solution. Headquartered in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania, the Company maintains a portfolio of trade secrets and four US patent awards. REGO offers an all-digital financial payments platform to enable minors, particularly under 13 years old, to transact, complete chores and learn in a secure online environment guided by parental permission, oversight, and control, while remaining COPPA and GDPR compliant.

COPPA applies not only to websites and mobile apps. It can apply to a growing list of connected devices that is included in the Internet of Things. Some of these include toys and products that could collect personal information, such as voice recordings or geolocation information. Non-compliance with COPPA has meant substantial fines for many violators.

Management believes that by building on its COPPA compliance advantage, the future of REGO Payment Architectures, Inc. will be based on the foundational architecture of its software platform (the “Platform”) that will allow its use across multiple financial markets where secure controlled payments are needed. The Company intends to license in each alternative field of use the ability for its partners, distributors and/or value-added resellers to private label each of the alternative markets. These partners will deploy, customize and support each implementation under their own label, but with acknowledgement of the Company’s proprietary intellectual assets as the base technology. Management believes this approach will enable the Company to reduce marketing expenses while broadening its reach.

Further, California passed the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”) on June 28, 2018. CCPA gives consumers (defined as natural citizens who are California residents) four rights relative to their personal information as follows:

●

the right to know, through a general privacy policy and with more specifics available upon request, what personal information a business has collected about them, where it was sourced from, what it is being used for, whether it is being disclosed or sold, and to whom it is being disclosed or sold;

●

the right to “opt out” of allowing a business to sell their personal information to third parties (or, for consumers who are under 16 years old, the right not to have their personal information sold absent their, or their parent’s, opt-in);

●

the right to have a business delete their personal information, with some exceptions; and

●

the right to receive equal service and pricing from a business, even if they exercise their privacy rights under the CCPA.

In November 2020, California went even further by passing the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”) of 2020. The CPRA is the strongest consumer privacy law ever enacted in the United States and achieves broad general parity with the most comprehensive laws in other jurisdictions including Europe (GDPR), Japan, Israel, New Zealand, and Canada. Protection of children is a key component of the CPRA with significant expansion to enforcement also included. CPRA empowers the Attorney General, California’s 62 different district attorneys, and a ~~brand-~~new California Privacy Protection Agency (“CPPA”) to enforce it, The CPPA began enforcement on July 1, 2023. ~~Additional~~In ~~states~~2023 ~~such~~privacy aslaws in Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, and Virginia ~~have~~went ~~also~~into ~~enacted~~effect. ~~state~~In ~~privacy~~2024, ~~laws in 2023.~~ Montana, Oregon, and Texas ~~have~~also put privacy laws ~~scheduled~~into ~~for enactment~~effect. inAdditional ~~2024.~~states such as Delaware, Iowa, Maryland, Minnesota, Nebraska New Hampshire, New Jersey, and Tennessee all have privacy laws scheduled for enactment in 2025.

With respect to the evolving CCPA, the Company has designed its Platform and app to be in compliance.

Additionally, the European Parliament and Council agreed upon the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) in April 2016, to replace the Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC. This is the primary law regulating how companies protect European Union (“EU”) citizens’ personal data. GDPR became effective on May 25, 2018. Companies that fail to achieve GDPR compliance are subject to severe fines and penalties.

Table of Contents

GDPR requirements apply to each member state of the European Union, aiming to create more consistent protection of consumer and personal data across EU nations. Some of the key privacy and data protection requirements of the GDPR include:

●

Requiring the consent of subjects for data processing

●

Anonymizing collected data to protect privacy

●

Providing data breach notifications

●

Safely handling the transfer of data across borders

●

Requiring certain companies to appoint a data protection officer to oversee GDPR compliance

In short, the handling of EU citizens’ data is mandated by GDPR using a baseline set of standards for companies that are designed to better safeguard the processing and movement of personal data. The Company has designed its Platform and app to be in compliance with GDPR and has received the GDPRkids^TM Trustmark from PRIVO.

~~Revenues~~We anticipate that revenues generated from the Platform will ~~come~~ come from multiple sources depending on the level of service and facilities requested. There ~~will~~would be levels of subscription revenue paid monthly, service fees, transaction fees and in some cases, revenue sharing and licensing with banking and distribution partners.

Industry Background

In 2022, it was estimated that approximately 25% of the world’s population, estimated at 8 billion, or approximately 2 billion people were under age 15. This is primarily Generation Z (“Gen Z”) and Generation Alpha (“Gen Alpha”).

Gen Z are those born between 1997 and 2010 and are characterized by growing up in a highly sophisticated media and computer environment with greater internet savvy than any previous generation. They have been coined with the names “True Gen,” the “iGeneration,” “Homelanders,” “Generation Connected,” and “Dot Com Kids.” Gen Z has an estimated spending power of $323 billion per year, while it is estimated that Gen Z influences $600 billion in family spending per year.

They use the mobile internet more than any other generation on a daily basis as a communication tool and a method to stay connected with the people and things that are important to them. Studies have shown that Gen Z spends over 8 hours per week online on average, 4.5 hours per day on their mobile phones and 3.5 hours per day on their laptops. They are online for 10 or more hours per day with the use of smartphones, tablets, laptops, desktops and TV’s. Gen Z are 2 times more likely to shop online than Millennials. Additionally, 62 percent of Gen Z have reported worrying about the use of their personal information by companies.

Gen Alpha are those born since the year 2010. They are the children of the Millennials and are sometimes referred to as mini-Millennials. They will be the first generation entirely born and shaped in the 21^st century. They have become known as “Digital Natives.” They are the most materially endowed and technologically literate generation on Earth. While not much information has been observed as of yet, Gen Alpha has been projected to be the best-educated, the most technologically immersed, the wealthiest and the generation most likely to spend some or all of their childhood in living arrangements without both of their biological parents. Millennials tend to provide mini versions of what they have themselves to Gen Alpha. Thus, Gen Alpha is more likely to seek out the best brands and best products and have the ability to differentiate knockoff brands. This is the next generation to watch as they have already begun to spend and influence spending.

Because there is no direct financial solution for these generations, they still use either cash or their parent’s funding source (credit card) and hence there is still a lack of quantification of the dollar size of the children’s “spending” market, which is separate from the dollars spent on children. Marketers and regulators have taken note of the change and made a shift to a more “digital” approach to their overall strategy. Additionally, children’s access to increasingly available technology has fueled concerns about security, safety and compliance with government regulations. As children march toward adulthood, parents are providing the means for children to have products (money), and technology and providing them the increasingly easy opportunity to do so.

3With Gen Z and Gen Alpha in mind, the Company is focusing on the FinTech industry. There are several fields affected by FinTech including banking, insurance, loans, personal finance, electronic payments, venture capital and wealth management. The brands that appear in the FinTech industry include Apple, Goldman Sachs, PWC, JP Morgan, Samsung, Amazon and PayPal to name a few.

With Gen Z and Gen Alpha in mind, the Company is focusing on the FinTech industry. There are several fields affected by FinTech including banking, insurance, loans, personal finance, electronic payments, venture capital and wealth management. The brands that appear in the FinTech industry include Apple, Goldman Sachs, PWC, JP Morgan, Samsung, Amazon and Paypal to name a few.

The key metrics to the FinTech industry are as follows:

● The U.S. Fintech market has achieved a $4.10 trillion market size in ~~2023~~2024 and projects a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 11.2% over the next 510 years.

● In the U.S., the leading FinTech segment is digital payment, ~~valued~~which atis ~~over~~projected to exceed $~~2.6~~3 trillion in ~~2023~~2025 and increasing to approximately $7 trillion by 2029.

●

Mobile POS Payments comprise the largest digital payment sector with a projected total transaction value of approximately $2 trillion in 2025.

●

60% of credit unions and 49% of banks believe partnerships with FinTech companies are important.

● ByIn 2025, the U.S. will account for more than 62% of the global FinTech transaction value.

● ~~The~~75% ~~worth~~ of ~~the~~ global ~~financial~~consumers ~~sector~~have isused ~~expected~~at least one fintech service to bepay ~~$28.5~~online ~~trillion~~or by ~~2025~~using ~~with~~ a 6%mobile ~~CAGR~~application.

● 75% of global consumers have used at least one fintech service to pay online or using a mobile application.

●

78% of U.S. consumers prefer to bank via a mobile app or website.

● ByIn ~~the end of 2022~~2024, ~~about~~ 9 out of 10 Americans were using digital payments.

●FinTech ~~Global~~companies ~~digital~~are ~~payments~~not ~~revenue~~restricted to isthe ~~projected~~same degree by regulatory compliance nor antiquated systems with which the established financial services companies contend, although governments at all levels are increasing their interest in the industry.

FinTech companies are not restricted to the same degree by regulatory compliance nor antiquated systems with which the established financial services companies contend, although governments at all levels are increasing their interest in the industry. These companies can concentrate on single purpose solutions, which are designed to enhance the user’s experience. In 2023, over three quarters (78 percent) of the U.S. population used a digital banking service. Additionally, in 2023, 99% of Gen Z and 98% of millennials indicated that they use mobile banking.3

Table of Contents

The innovations taking place in FinTech can be summarized in four categories:

Peer-to-Peer (“P2P”) value exchanges – Growth of applications has been stimulated by the popularity and use of social networks.

Applications with machine intelligence – Automation becoming a necessity in the do-it-yourself environment.

Data-driven services – The ability to access data and data analytics is leading to more individualized products and lower pricing of financial services.

Less definition between physical and virtual worlds – People are using financial services more in the virtual arena than in visiting physical locations.

Digital-only banking is growing. These banks offer virtual global payments, P2P transfers and opportunities to buy and exchange Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

Blockchain, a distributed ledger technology, is also having a substantial impact on global finance. The two fastest-growing segments of FinTech are blockchain and regulatory technology (“regtech”). It is anticipated that blockchain technology will increase the global economy by $1.76 trillion by 2030. The largest economic impact will be tracking and tracing products and services estimated at $962 billion. Payments and financial services will be impacted by an approximate $433 billion. The sectors benefiting the most will be public administration, education and healthcare. The countries that will benefit the most are anticipated to be China ($440 billion) and the US ($407 billion).

The global P2P market size was valued at $~~2.2~~3 trillion in ~~2022~~2023 and is projected to grow to almost $1213 trillion by 2032. In ~~2022~~2023, the largest P2P money transfer service has an estimated transaction volume of $1.5 trillion with ~~431~~426 million users worldwide.

Artificial intelligence (“AI”) is projected to reduce bank operating costs by 22% by the year 2030. This could mean savings of approximately $1 trillion. AI in the banking industry is well positioned to combat cybercrimes and financial fraud. Customer service in financial institutions is now being conducted by AI chatbots and other smart systems. Chatbot interactions saved operational costs in the banking industry of $7.3 billion globally in 2023. ByIn 2025, Robo-advisors are expected to manage $16 trillion in assets. In the next 10 years, AI is anticipated to handle 95% of all customer interactions.

4The global mobile payment market size was valued at approximately $3 trillion in 2023 and is projected to grow to $28 trillion by 2032. Through 2024, mobile payment apps are used by more than 2 billion people globally, growing by millions each year. The number of unique contactless mobile payment users worldwide surpassed 1 billion in 2024.

~~Table~~In 2024, there were approximately 4.3 billion digital wallet users worldwide. This number is projected to reach 5.8 billion by 2029, a 35% increase over the next five years. Global digital wallet spending is expected to surpass $10 trillion in 2025. In 2024, 81% of ~~Contents~~customers in the US used mobile devices to manage their bank accounts at least once per month.

Global mobile payments were approximately $2.1 trillion in 2022. The number of unique contactless mobile payment users will reach 1 billion globally by 2024. In 2022, there were approximately 3.4 billion mobile wallet users with this number expected to exceed 5.2 billion in 2026. As of 2023, mobile payments are used by more than 2 billion people globally, growing by millions each year and mobile transactions comprised 89% of all banking transactions. App store spending was $171 billion worldwide in 2023.

With this as a backdrop, REGO Payment Architectures, Inc. has identified an emerging need to market a financial platform that provides Gen Z and Gen Alpha with an alternative solution to traditional banking and solves current limitations on their ability to safely transact using mobile payment solutions for both brick & mortar retail outlets and online shopping. Mazoola ® is that platform and along with providing the solution it teaches financial responsibility.

Furthermore, in 2024 the Company expanded its suite of products to address another vulnerable demographic, aging parents. A recent report published by Cornerstone Advisors states that in 2023, Americans over the age of 60 incurred more than $38 billion in losses due to financial exploitation, triple the amount they lost in 2022. Investment scams against the elderly in 2023 exceeded $1 billion for the first time. To that end, the percentage of consumers involved in managing their parents’ financial lives is poised to explode. Surveys indicate that management of parental finances will grow to approximately 40% of the population within the next 10 years. The Cornerstone report estimates parental financial management to be a $1 billion opportunity for financial institutions. The Company’s “Silver Sheild” product is poised to serve this emerging market.

The Company’s Relationship to the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act

Though the Company does not target or collect the personal information of the under 13 age group, and rather targets parents and families as a whole, the products must still be compliant with COPPA. The new products will meet the requirements imposed by COPPA, including the recent amendments. The Company has gone further than dealing with the federal rules by mapping all state-by-state statutes and regulations that deviate from the federal laws and thus ~~have~~has a complete inter-state commerce view of the regulations that assure compliance for all participants in the system.

Table of Contents

To be compliant the Company has renewed its COPPA certification and has received the GDPRkids^TM Trustmark from PRIVO. PRIVO is an online privacy compliance company and with the certification and Trustmark the Company has joined Privo’s Kids Privacy Assured Program, which helps companies navigate the online privacy landscape from COPPA and GDPR to the numerous student digital privacy laws, in addition to offering compliant technology solutions that include youth registration, age verification, parental consent and account management.

Other Consumer Privacy Protection Enforcement

The Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) has been very active, since as far back as 2003, in penalizing companies for non-compliance with privacy promises, with COPPA at the core of the settlements. Possible penalties under COPPA provide for civil penalties of $42,350 per violation, however, the FTC considers many factors when levying penalties. Among these are the ability of the company to stay in business after the penalty is imposed. Google and YouTube paid a record $170 million in 2019 to settle civil penalties brought by the FTC. Musical.ly (TikTok) agreed to a settlement of $5.7 million in February 2019. TechCrunch’s Verizon-owned parent, Oath, created from the merging of AOL and Yahoo, has agreed to pay approximately $5 million for violating COPPA in December 2018. The New York Attorney General has targeted Viacom, Mattel, ~~JumpStart~~ JumpStart and Hasbro for investigations related to COPPA compliance issues. In July 2021, Kuuhuub, Inc. was fined $3 million for violating COPPA. Epic Games, Inc., the creator of the popular video game Fortnite, was ~~recently~~ fined in December 2022 $275 million for COPPA violations. In June 2023, Microsoft was fined $20 million for illegally collecting personal information from children without their parents’ consent. In August 2024, the US Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against TikTok for several COPPA related violations. Among the violations, the lawsuit mentions failure to comply with COPPA for accounts specifically administered in the platform’s “Kids Mode” and for improperly amassing profiles on “Kids Mode” users. The complaint seeks civil penalties of up to $51,744 per violation per day from January 10, 2024 to present for the improper collection of children’s data, as well as permanent injunctive relief to prevent future violations of the COPPA Rule.

A number of foreign governments ~~also~~ also have ~~itherr~~either adopted or are considering data privacy and security regulations. For example, the EU has adopted GDPR, as was previously discussed. The Company’s initial target is the U.S. However, the Company has been ~~performing~~doing research on compliance issues in European countries and is expanding its focus into the European market. With the GDPR Trustmark the Company is positioned to rapidly adapt to these new markets.

In 2022 there were 511 GDPR fines that totaled over €835 million. Among the top violators in 2022 were Meta/Facebook twice (totaling €670 million) and Clearview AI, Inc. several times (totaling €68 million). In 2023, TikTok was fined €345 million in relation to its processing of personal data relating to child users of the platform.

The Opportunity

Gen Z and Gen Alpha are the core target users of our mobile payment app, Mazoola®

Table of Contents

As consumers, Gen Z and Gen Alpha have deep pockets, but lack direct access to funds.

Their spending power is significant and growing. As of ~~2023~~2024, Gen Z has approximately of $360 billion globally in disposable income. Over 70% of Gen Z say they influence ~~family~~ family decisions around furniture, household goods, food and beverages purchases. They are 2 times more likely to shop on mobile devices than Millennials.

Social and digital learning is key to Gen Z.

85% of Gen Z uses social media to learn about new products.

Gen Z’s financial future and global impact has yet to be written.

While 60% of Gen Z say ‘a lot of money’ is a sign of success and 72% of Gen Z want to start a business one day, the details of how to make smart choices about money are not being shared. As of ~~2023~~2024, 2535 states have enacted a personal finance requirement for high schoolers. Gen Z is primed for deep engagement around future-focused payments solutions, but the conversation and learning and introduction of new financial ~~technologies~~ technologies for this generation must occur within an experience that complements their values, interests and goals. To this end, the financial literacy facilities built within our Platform target both the parent and the child. These built-in guidelines will prepare children for the financial responsibilities they will have in the future and prepare them for the emerging digital economy.

Our Solution

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

REGO addresses hard industry problems such as:

●

COPPA compliant technology with a key component being its ability to verify the age of an internet user

●

A master and sub-account architecture with the ability to administer user-specific controls

●

An advanced rules engine to provide strict automated compliance of the parental rules for each child

●

Near real-time buying behavior database on minors – anonymized geolocation, age range and purchases

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

We are seeking partners that will leverage our Platform to:

Buy vs. Build: Partners can license or revenue share for their specific market or field of use a safe, compliant system, instead of building one on their own.

Safety & Security: Partners can safely engage a younger consumer segment and their families with a new family friendly peer-to-peer-payment approach. Vendors will be explicitly protected from non-compliant transactions and the underlying technology protects the privacy of the user.

Youth Financial Literacy: Partners can expand their brand story around empowerment and education of youth financial literacy while engaging their ‘future customers’ with Gen Z, a digital native population of post-millennial youth.

The REGO Mazoola® app and associated digital wallet technology is designed to enable our partners to engage families with Gen Z and Gen Alpha youths through the leading money management, transactional and financial literacy platform that enables young people to make smart decisions about the things they value in life — including their money, their time, their ideas and their connections. The Mazoola® app enables a new way for individual users to own and monetize their purchasing behavior that is currently unavailable to them.

In addition, we are analyzing specific components of our technology for individual monetization as well as exploring opportunities in the Business to Business (“B2B”) realm.

Other markets for potential licensed applications are:

Government social services payments where control over how benefits allowances are used is required. This is particularly necessary in some European countries where social benefits are not being used as intended by the government or where benefits are subject to fraud.

Closed network consumer to business (C2B) and business to business (B2B). An example is school lunch programs where the consumer can make direct mobile payments to the provider’s point of sale (POS) terminal without the need to traverse the traditional merchant payment system. This reduces the cost per transaction for the vendor and provides instant non-repudiated settlement. Many school lunch programs are now provided by large catering companies. This is particularly valuable as credit card fees, transaction fees and service fees can exceed 3% in overhead costs per transaction dependent on the negotiated rate. Removing this overhead can have a significant positive financial impact on profitability. It also allows the closed network to own its own behavioral use data thus obviating the need to pay a third party for the same data.

Our Intellectual Property

Intellectual property is important to our business. The Company has four issued patents with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”), entitled “Parent Match,” “System and Method for Verifying the Age of an Internet User,” “System and Method for Virtual Piggy Bank Wish-List” and “System and Method for Virtual Piggy Bank.” The Company has filed for one provisional U.S. patent application, as well as twelve non-provisional U.S. patent applications, one of which is pending, four of which have been allowed, and seven of which have been abandoned. Additionally, the Company has been granted two patents, entitled “Virtual Piggy Bank” and “Parent Match,” in each of Germany, Canada, and Australia. The Company also has patents pending in the Republic of Korea under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (“PCT”). Costs associated with the registration and legal defense of the patents have been capitalized and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated lives of the patents.

Table of Contents

The following are the names and brief descriptions of our patents:

Parent Match. A method of providing control preferences set by a person for a second person who is a prospective Internet user, the method comprising the steps of establishing a first account, the settings of the first account being stored in a database; establishing a second account, the settings of the second account being stored in the database; linking the first and second accounts such that control settings of the second account are determined through the first account; and viewing Internet content from the second account consistent with the control settings of the second account.

System and Method for Virtual Piggy Bank. A method of providing control preferences for a prospective Internet user, the method comprising the steps of establishing a first account, the settings of the first account being stored in a database; establishing a second account, the settings of the second account being stored in the database; linking the first and second accounts such that control settings of the second account are determined through the first account; and making a purchase from the second account consistent with the control settings of the second account.

System and Method for Verifying the Age of an Internet User. A system and method of verifying the age of a prospective internet user, the method comprising creating an age check account with a service requester; activating the age check system through the account; inputting into the age check system a user’s information; checking user’s information by age check system; and notifying service requester of checked user’s information by the age check system.

Table of Contents

System and Method for Virtual Piggybank Wish-List. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, storing one or more programs configured for execution, the one or more programs for monitoring, transmitting, and recording usage of a computer or mobile device connected to a network, the one or more programs including instructions for establishing a first account, the settings of the first account being stored in a database; establishing a second account, the settings of the second account being stored in the database, wherein the second account includes a wish-list; linking the first and second accounts such that control settings of the second account are determined through the first account; and making a purchase from the wish-list of the second account consistent with the control settings of the second account.

Until such time as the remaining pending patents are awarded, if ever, we intend to also rely on trade secret protection and/or confidentiality agreements with our employees, customers, business partners and others to protect our intellectual property rights.

Furthermore, we have filed trademark applications pertaining to our service with the USPTO, the European Community, and Canada and a service mark application for Mazoola® The USPTO has already granted us service mark registrations for Oink, Oink (stylized), PiggyPick, Virtual Piggy, Virtual Piggy and design (horizontal), the PIG design, Parent Match, Quickconnect, Virtual Piggy Youth Empowered Parent Approved and Design, Youth Empowered. Parent Approved, and Oink.com. In 2024, the Company sold the Oink.com domain name in a private sale to a third party for $60,000. The European Community has already granted us registration for Virtual Piggy, Virtual Piggy and Design, Virtual Piggy Youth Empowered Parent Approved and Design, PiggyPick, Wishlist Wednesday, the PIG design, and the PIG design (alternative). All European trademarks associated with Virtual Piggy were not renewed and expired in 2024. The Canadian Intellectual Property Office has already granted the registration for VP Authenticate.

Despite certain precautions taken by us, it may be possible for third parties to obtain and use our intellectual property without authorization. This risk may be increased due to the lack of patent and/or copyright protection. If any of our proprietary rights are misappropriated or we are forced to defend our intellectual property rights, we will have to incur substantial costs. Such litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of our resources, including diverting the time and effort of our senior management, and could disrupt our business, as well as have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. Management will from time to time determine whether applying for and pursuing additional patent and copyright protection is appropriate for us. We have no guarantee that any such applications will be granted or, if awarded, whether they will offer us any meaningful protection from other companies in our business, or that we will have the financial resources to oppose any actual or threatened infringement by any third party. Furthermore, any patent or copyrights that we may be granted may be held by a court to infringe on the intellectual property rights of others and subject us to the payment of damage awards.

Table of Contents

In addition, we cannot be certain that our technology will not infringe upon patents, copyrights or other intellectual property rights held by third parties. While we know of no basis for any claims of this type, the existence of and ownership of intellectual property can be difficult to verify, and we have not made an exhaustive search of all patent filings. We may become subject to legal proceedings and claims from time to time relating to the intellectual property of others in the ordinary course of our business. If we are found to have violated the intellectual property rights of others, we may be enjoined from using such intellectual property, and we may incur licensing fees or be forced to develop alternative technology or obtain other licenses. In addition, we may incur substantial expenses in defending against these third-party infringement claims and be diverted from devoting time to our business and operational issues, regardless of the merits of any such claim.

Research and Development

During ~~2023~~2024 and ~~2022~~2023, our research and product development expenses were approximately $23.93 million and $2.19 million, all of which were borne by us.

Our Revenue Model

Our ability to generate and grow revenue is affected by consumer spending patterns, merchants and consumer adoption of digital payment methods. We are relying on the growth of mobile devices and the applications that will be used by merchants and consumers on those devices, and the transition from cash and checks to digital forms of payment, including cryptocurrencies. Our strategy to drive revenue in our business includes the following:

●

Utilize our COPPA compliant platform to capitalize on mobile device applications

●

License or enter into revenue sharing agreements around our technology for use with compatible technologies focusing on digital forms of payment

●

Utilize the blockchain component of the platform in conjunction with cryptocurrencies

As of the date of this report, we have not generated significant revenue. Our previous revenues were generated by taking a small percentage of every transaction from an online merchant. Until now this was our only revenue source. As we proceed through 2024, we expect to seek additional revenue streams as follows:8

In addition to expanding the existing payment solution to a growing US and global customer base, management believes there is robust demand for:

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

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

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

4. A two-sided platform of the REGO offering, MazoolaPay, which is currently in later stage development. This provides a way for retailers to offer families a compliant payment offering when engaging in e-commerce transactions.9

Sales and Marketing Strategy

InBrand 2024, we are working with small and large banks, credit unions and other channel providers for the adoption of our unique wallet for their family clients. Additionally, we are also focusing on onboarding established brands with large family-focused account bases that would enable us to co-brand our platform and reach the Gen Z and Gen Alpha population through the FinTech industry. The Company maintains its view that these channels are most likely to provide rapid adoption of its technology across a broader industry segment.Positioning:

Rego will position itself as the premier platform for family-focused financial solutions, with a unique value proposition that emphasizes ease of use, security, and customization. The brand will highlight its white-label capabilities, making it attractive to financial institutions seeking to provide innovative solutions to their customers.

Customer Acquisition:

Partnerships with Financial Institutions: By positioning Rego as an essential tool for family banking, Rego will seek partnerships with a wide range of financial institutions, from small credit unions to large national banks.

Digital Marketing: Targeted digital marketing campaigns will focus on families, specifically those with children, aging parents, or young adults starting to manage their finances. Social media, content marketing, and email campaigns will drive awareness and adoption.

Customer Retention:

Value-Added Features: Rego will offer personalized insights and educational content to engage users and keep them coming back to the platform.

Family-Focused Events & Webinars: Offering family-oriented financial education webinars and events will further cement Rego’s role as a trusted advisor for family finances.

Seasonality

Our new model should not be subject to seasonality.

Competition

The global payments industry is highly competitive. There is a continuous introduction of new entrants into the market and the development of new technologies and product offerings in the global payments industry, which is already highly competitive. It is continuously changing, highly innovative, and increasingly subject to regulatory scrutiny and oversight. We compete against a wide range of businesses. Most of our current and potential competitors may be larger than we are, have larger customer bases, greater brand recognition, longer operating histories, a dominant or more secure position, or broader geographic scope than we do, or offer products and services that we do not offer. Although payment services such as Zelle, Venmo, PayPal, Amex Bluebird, FamZoo and Visa Buxx can be viewed as our competitors, we do not believe that these provide the type of family friendly solution that not only teaches young people about saving, spending, and giving, while being compliant with COPPA and other laws that users of all ages need to be aware of, including but not limited to privacy, data collection, and security. We will compete against many companies that are larger than we are in a wide range of businesses, including banks, credit card providers, technology and ecommerce companies and traditional retailers. We will compete against various forms of payment methods including cash and checks, credit and debit cards, automated clearing house, mobile payments and other online payment services.

10To compete effectively, we will focus a majority of our 2025 resources on product distribution and licensing and technology and product development.

Government Regulation

The industry which we serve is subject to regulation by the FTC, laws such as COPPA, and other laws relating to data collection, use, retention, and security. Complying ~~with~~ with these varying U.S. and international requirements, such as GDPR, could cause us to incur substantial costs or require us to change ~~our~~ our business practices in a manner adverse to our business. In addition, we have and post on our websites our own privacy policies and ~~practices~~ practices concerning the collection, use and disclosure of user data. Any failure, or perceived failure, by us to comply with our posted privacy policies or with any regulatory requirements or orders or other federal, state or international privacy or consumer protection-related laws and regulations could result in proceedings or actions against us by governmental entities or others, subject us to significant penalties and negative publicity and adversely affect us. In addition, we are subject to the possibility of security breaches, which themselves may result in a violation of these laws.

The Company has added preventative measures to reduce the risk of non-compliance and security breaches. However, as the Company utilizes third party infrastructure, the risk of security breaches cannot be guaranteed but the Company has performed reasonable efforts to mitigate risk.

Human Capital Resources

As of December 31, ~~2023~~2024, we had 45 employees, who were working in the areas of marketing, programming and product development, web development, finance and administration. None of our employees are represented by a union or covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We believe that our relations with our employees are good. We outsource our marketing efforts and most of our product development costs. Our relationship with all of these vendors is good.

Company Information

Our website can be found on the Internet at www.regopayments.com. The website contains information about the Company and our operations, however, the contents of our website are not incorporated into this Form 10-K. We make available free of charge through a link on our website our Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and Current Reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to these reports, as soon as we electronically file such material with, or furnish such material to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). These reports may be accessed on our website by following the link under Investor Relations and then clicking on SEC filings.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risk factors in addition to other information in this Annual Report on Form 10-K before purchasing our common stock. The risks and uncertainties described below are those that we currently deem to be material and that we believe are specific to our company and our industry. In addition to these risks, our business may be subject to risks currently unknown to us. If any of these or other risks actually occurs, our business may be adversely affected, the trading price of our common stock may decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

We have a history of losses, have yet to begin generating significant revenue, will require additional capital, and our auditors have raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

We have experienced net losses in each fiscal year since our inception and as of December 31, ~~2023~~2024, have an accumulated deficit of approximately $~~136~~147.07 million. We incurred net losses to common ~~shareholders~~stockholders of approximately $1811.96 million during the year ended December 31, ~~2023~~2024 and approximately $1718.69 million during the year ended December 31, ~~2022~~2023. As of ~~April~~March 131, ~~2024~~2025 we had a cash position of approximately $41.36 million. Depending on the speed at which we begin to generate revenue, and to the degree we continue to accelerate spending to take advantage of our market opportunity, we will need additional capital to execute our business plan. As a result of these conditions, the report of our independent accountants issued in connection with the audit of our financial statements as of and for our fiscal year ended December 31, ~~2023~~2024 contained a qualification raising a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Table of Contents

In order to execute our business plan and pay expenses in connection with unforeseen events, we will need to raise additional capital, which may not be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

In order to execute our current business plan, we will need to raise additional capital. The amount of funding required will be determined by many factors, some of which are beyond our control, and we may require such funds sooner than currently anticipated or to cover unforeseen expenses. We expect that any such funding will be raised through sales of our debt or equity securities. When raising additional funding, general market conditions or the then-current market price of our common stock may not support capital-raising transactions. We have not made arrangements to obtain additional financing and we can provide no assurance that additional financing will be available in an amount or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If we cannot raise funds when they are needed or if such funds cannot be obtained on acceptable terms, we may not be able to (a) pay our costs and expenses as they are incurred, (b) execute our business plan, (c) take advantage of future opportunities, or (d) respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated requirements, which may in the extreme case, require us to liquidate the Company. This may seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are essentially a start-up company with an unproven business model which makes it difficult to evaluate our current business and future prospects.

We are essentially a start-up company introducing new services and technologies. We are completing the development and rollout of our enhanced Platform, however, we have not generated significant revenue. We expect to generate all of our future revenues from the development and marketing of our COPPA compliant payment solution Platform to financial institutions and merchants. However, we have only a very limited operating history and have not generated significant revenue upon which to base an evaluation of our current business and future prospects. Although our management team has substantial experience in developing and managing businesses, they have never developed or offered such a technology and there can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully develop and market such technology. If we are unable to fully develop and commercialize our Platform, or manage other challenges facing development stage companies, such as raising additional capital, managing existing and expanding operations, and hiring qualified personnel, we may continue to be unprofitable or, in the extreme case, be forced to cease operations. Before purchasing our common stock, you should consider an investment in our common stock in light of the risks, uncertainties and difficulties frequently encountered by early-stage companies in new and evolving markets such as ours, including those described herein. We may not be able to successfully address any or all of these risks. Failure to adequately address such risks would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operation and could cause our business to fail.

Our management has limited experience in our relatively new industry, which may make it difficult for you to evaluate our business prospects.

Our senior management does not have direct experience in the online payment or retail industries. There can be no assurance that our management team will be successful in working together to develop and market our Platform. In addition, the online payment industry is a relatively new industry. Although there a number of online payment solutions, relatively few are directed specifically to the “Under 18” market segment. You must consider our business prospects in light of the risks and difficulties we will encounter in the future in a new and rapidly evolving industry. We may not be able to successfully address these risks and difficulties, which could materially harm our business prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

We are developing a service platform which is new to the market and there is substantial uncertainty regarding the level of consumer and industry acceptance, if any, of our platform.

Our Platform is intended to provide a solution to certain financial institutions, website operators and online merchants. As we do not believe any provider is currently offering such a solution, it is very difficult for us to predict the level of demand and market acceptance of our Platform by consumers or online retailers. As regulations, consumer and industry preferences and trends evolve, there is a high degree of uncertainty about whether users will value some or all of the key features which we are incorporating into the Platform. The failure of the marketplace to deem our features desirable may discourage use of our Platform and limit our ability to generate any meaningful revenues or profits which would have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition.

Table of Contents

Fluctuations in demand for our Platform may have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

We are subject to fluctuations in demand for our Platform due to a variety of factors, including general economic conditions, including the possibility of a prolonged period of limited economic growth or possible economic decline in the U.S.; competition; disruptions to the credit and financial markets in Europe, the U.S., and elsewhere; contractions or limited growth in consumer spending or consumer credit; and adverse economic conditions that may be specific to the Internet, ecommerce and payments industries.

We are also subject to product obsolescence, technological change, shifts in buying patterns, financial difficulties and budget constraints of current and potential customers, levels of demand for virtual goods, awareness of security threats to IT systems, and other factors. While such factors may, in some periods, increase revenues, fluctuations in demand can also negatively impact our revenues.

Table of Contents

If we do not remain proactive with technological development to provide new products and services, the use of our services may not be adopted.

Technological changes impact the industries in which we operate, including developments in payment card tokenization, ecommerce through social networks, authentication and virtual currencies. We cannot predict the effects of technological changes on our business. We expect that new services and technologies applicable to the industries in which we operate will continue to emerge and may be superior to, or render obsolete, the technologies we currently use in our products and services. Developing and incorporating new technologies into our products and services may require substantial expenditures, take considerable time, and ultimately may not be successful. In addition, our ability to adopt new products and services and to develop new technologies may be inhibited by industry-wide standards, payments networks, changes to laws and regulations, resistance to change from consumers or merchants, third-party intellectual property rights, or other factors. Our success will depend on our ability to develop and incorporate new technologies and adapt to technological changes and evolving industry standards; if we are unable to do so in a timely or cost-effective manner, our business could be harmed.

Weak consumer spending may adversely affect our business prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Our ability to attract new users, and encourage users to purchase items through our website, and use our payment services in times where consumer spending is weak could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Undetected programming errors or flaws in our Platform could harm our reputation or prevent market acceptance of the Platform which would materially and adversely affect our business prospects, reputation, financial condition and results of operations.

The Platform may contain programming errors or flaws, which may become apparent only after sustained use in the market. In addition, the Platform was developed using programs and engines developed by and/or licensed from third party vendors, which may include programming errors or flaws over which we have no control. If our users or partners have a negative experience with the Platform, related to or caused by undetected programming errors or flaws, they may be less inclined to continue or resume use of the Platform or recommend the Platform to other potential users. Undetected programming errors in the Platform can also cause our users or partners to cease using the Platform or delay market acceptance of the Platform, either of which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our future growth is largely dependent upon our ability to develop technologies that achieve market acceptance with acceptable margins.

The markets for our products and services are characterized by constant technological changes, frequent introductions of new products and services and evolving industry standards. Our ability to execute our business plan depends upon a number of factors, including our ability to identify emerging technological and market trends in our target end-markets, develop and maintain competitive products, develop our Platform that differentiates our services from those of our competitors, and develop and bring services to market quickly and cost-effectively. In addition, we will need to effectively manage risks associated with new products and production ramp issues as well as risks that new products may have quality or other defects in the early stages of introduction. The process of developing new high technology products, services and solutions and enhancing our existing products is complex, costly and uncertain. Our ability to continually refine and successfully commercialize the Platform will require substantial technological innovation and requires the investment of significant resources. These development efforts may not lead to the ongoing evolution of the Platform on a timely basis or meet the needs of our customers as fully as competitive offerings. Any failure by us to anticipate customers’ changing needs and emerging technology trends accurately could significantly harm our market share and results of operations. In addition, the markets for our services may not develop or grow as we anticipate. The failure of our products to gain market acceptance or their obsolescence due to more attractive offerings by competitors could significantly impact our revenues and adversely affect our business, operations and financial results.

Security breaches and other disruptions could compromise our information and expose us to liability, which would cause our business and reputation to suffer.

The techniques used to attempt to obtain unauthorized or illegal access to systems and information (including customers’ personal data), disable or degrade service, exploit vulnerabilities, or sabotage systems are constantly evolving, and in some circumstances may not be recognized or detected until after they have been launched against a target. Unauthorized parties have attempted, and we expect that they will continue to attempt, to gain access to our systems or facilities through various means, including, but not limited to, hacking into our systems or facilities or those of our customers, partners, or vendors, and attempting to fraudulently induce users of our systems (including employees and customers) into disclosing user names, passwords, payment card information, or other sensitive information used to gain access to such systems or facilities. This information may in turn be used to access our customers’ personal or proprietary information and payment data that are stored on or accessible through our information technology systems and those of third parties with whom we partner. Numerous and evolving cybersecurity threats, including advanced and persisting cyberattacks, cyberextortion, distributed denial-of-service attacks, ransomware, spear phishing and social engineering schemes, the introduction of computer viruses or other malware, and the physical destruction of all or portions of our information technology and infrastructure and those of third parties with whom we partner could compromise the confidentiality, availability, and integrity of the data in our systems. Any such access, disclosure or other loss of information could result in legal claims or proceedings, liability under laws that protect the privacy of personal information, and regulatory penalties, disrupt our operations and the services we provide to customers, and damage our reputation, and cause a loss of confidence in our products and services, which could adversely affect our business/operating margins, revenues and competitive position.

Our plans are dependent upon key individuals and the ability to attract qualified personnel, as well as our relationship with outside developers.

In order to execute our business plan, we will be dependent upon senior executives, as well as other key development personnel. The loss of any of the foregoing individuals could have a material adverse effect upon our business prospects. Moreover, our success continues to depend to a significant extent on our ability to identify, attract, hire, train and retain qualified professional, creative, technical and managerial personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense, and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in identifying, attracting, hiring, training and retaining such personnel in the future. The competition for software developers, and technical directors is especially intense because the software market has significantly expanded over the past several years. If we are unable to hire, assimilate and retain such qualified personnel in the future, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. We may also depend on third party contractors and other partners, to develop our Platform as well as any future enhancements thereto. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in either attracting and retaining qualified personnel or creating arrangements with such third parties. The failure to succeed in these endeavors would have a material adverse effect on our ability to consummate our business plans.

RISKS RELATED TO INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, TECHNOLOGY AND REGULATION

Our lack of patent and/or copyright protection and any unauthorized use of the Platform by third parties may adversely affect our business.

We have patents and have made patent applications with the United States Patent and Trademark Office related to our Platform, which we rely on for protection to our technology. We also rely on a combination of protections provided by contracts, including confidentiality and nondisclosure agreements, and common law rights, such as trade secrets, to protect our intellectual property. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to adequately protect our technology or other intellectual property from misappropriation in the U.S. and abroad. This risk may be increased due to the lack of complete patent and/or copyright protection. Any patent issued to us could be challenged, invalidated or circumvented or rights granted thereunder may not provide a competitive advantage to us. Furthermore, patent applications that we file may not result in issuance of a patent or, if a patent is issued, the patent may not be issued in a form that is advantageous to us. Despite our efforts to protect our intellectual property rights, others may independently develop similar products, duplicate our products or design around our patents and other rights. In addition, it is difficult to monitor compliance with, and enforce, our intellectual property rights on a worldwide basis in a cost-effective manner. In jurisdictions where foreign laws provide less intellectual property protection than afforded in the U.S. and abroad, our technology or other intellectual property may be compromised, and our business would be materially adversely affected. If any of our proprietary rights are misappropriated or we are forced to defend our intellectual property rights, we will have to incur substantial costs. Such litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of our resources, including diverting the time and effort of our senior management, and could disrupt our business, as well as have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. We can provide no assurance that we will have the financial resources to oppose any actual or threatened infringement by any third party. Furthermore, any patents or copyrights that we may be granted may be held by a court to infringe on the intellectual property rights of others and subject us to the payment of damage awards.

We may be subject to claims with respect to the infringement of intellectual property rights of others, which could result in substantial costs and diversion of our financial and management resources.

Third parties may claim that we are infringing on their intellectual property rights. We may violate the rights of others without our knowledge. We may expose ourselves to additional liability if we agree to indemnify our clients against third party infringement claims. While we know of no basis for any claims of this type, the existence of and ownership of intellectual property can be difficult to verify, and we have not made an exhaustive search of all patent filings. Additionally, most patent applications are kept confidential for twelve to eighteen months, or longer, and we would not be aware of potentially conflicting claims that they make. We may become subject to legal proceedings and claims from time to time relating to the intellectual property of others in the ordinary course of our business. If we are found to have violated the intellectual property rights of others, we may be enjoined from using such intellectual property, and we may incur licensing fees or be forced to develop alternative technology or obtain other licenses. In addition, we may incur substantial expenses in defending against these third-party infringement claims and be diverted from devoting time to our business and operational issues, regardless of the merits of any such claim. In addition, in the event that we recruit employees from other technology companies, including certain potential competitors, and these employees are used in the development of portions of the Platform which are similar to the development in which they were involved at their former employers, we may become subject to claims that such employees have improperly used or disclosed trade secrets or other proprietary information. If any such claims were to arise in the future, litigation or other dispute resolution procedures might be necessary to retain our ability to offer our current and future services, which could result in substantial costs and diversion of our financial and management resources. Successful infringement or licensing claims against us may result in substantial monetary damages, which may materially disrupt the conduct of our business and have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations. Even if intellectual property claims brought against us are without merit, they could result in costly and time-consuming litigation, and may divert our management and key personnel from operating our business.

The impact of laws regulating financial institutions may adversely impact our business.

The impact of laws regulating financial institutions, including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act may adversely impact our business as a result of our reliance on merchants to provide services for our Platform.

Changes to payment card networks or bank fees, rules, or practices could harm our business and, if we do not comply with the rules, could result in the termination of our ability to accept credit cards. If we are unable to accept credit cards, our competitive position would be seriously damaged.

We may belong to or directly access payment card networks, such as Visa, MasterCard and the National Automated Clearing House Association (“NACHA”), in order to accept or facilitate the processing of credit cards and debit cards (including some types of prepaid cards) for merchants. We also expect to rely on banks or other payment processors to process transactions and must pay fees for this service. From time to time, payment card networks have increased, and may increase in the future, the interchange fees and assessments that they charge for each transaction using one of their cards. Generally, payment card processors have the right to pass any increases in interchange fees and assessments on to payment systems like ours as well as increase their own fees for processing. Changes in interchange fees and assessments could increase our operating costs and reduce profit margins, if any. In addition, in some markets, governments have required Visa and MasterCard to reduce interchange fees or have opened investigations as to whether Visa or MasterCard's interchange fees and practices violate antitrust law. The financial reform law enacted in 2010 authorizes the Federal Reserve Board to regulate debit card interchange rates and debit card network exclusivity provisions, and the Federal Reserve Board has proposed rules that include caps on debit card interchange fees at significantly lower rates than Visa or MasterCard currently charge. We expect to be required by our processors to comply with payment card network operating rules, which generally include the obligation to reimburse processors for any fines they are assessed by payment card networks as a result of any rule violations by users of our Platform. The payment card networks set and interpret the card rules which could be more difficult or expensive to comply with. We also expect to be required to comply with payment card networks' special operating rules for Internet payment services. Some of these rules may be difficult or even impossible for us to comply with. If we are unable to comply with these rules, we may be subject to fines for any failure to comply with such rules or we may lose our ability to gain access to the credit card associations or NACHA.

~~Any capacity constraints or system disruptions, including natural disasters could have a material adverse effect on our business.~~15

Table of Contents

Any capacity constraints or system disruptions, including natural disasters, could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Our business will rely significantly on Internet technologies and infrastructure. Therefore, the performance and reliability of our Internet sites and network infrastructure will be critical to our ability to attract and retain users, merchants and strategic partners. Any system error, outage or failure, or a sudden and significant increase in traffic, may result in the unavailability of sites and significantly delay response times. Individual sustained or repeated occurrences could result in a loss of potential or existing users. Our systems and operations will be vulnerable to interruption or malfunction due to certain events beyond our control, including natural disasters, international diseases, telecommunications failures and computer hacking. We will also rely on Web browsers and online service providers to provide Internet access to our sites. There can be no assurance that we will be able to expand our network infrastructure, either alone or through the use of third-party hosting systems or service providers, on a timely basis sufficient to meet demand. Our operations and services depend on the extent to which our computer equipment and the computer equipment of our third-party network providers is protected against damage from fire, earthquakes, terrorist acts, natural disasters, computer viruses, unauthorized entry, power loss, telecommunications failures, and similar events. Despite precautions taken by us and our third-party network providers, over which we have no control, a natural disaster, infectious disease, or other unanticipated problems at our headquarters or a third-party provider could cause interruptions in the services that we provide. If disruptions occur, we may have no means of replacing these network elements on a timely basis or at all. Any accident, incident, system failure, or discontinuance of operations involving our network or a third-party network that causes interruptions in our operations could have a material adverse effect on our ability to provide services to our partners and customers and, in turn, on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our business will be dependent upon broadband carriers.

We will rely on broadband providers to provide high speed data communications capacity to our customers. We may experience disruptions or capacity constraints in these broadband services. If disruptions or capacity constraints occur, we may have no means of replacing these services, on a timely basis or at all. In addition, broadband access may be limited or unavailable in certain areas, thereby reducing our potential market.

Use of our services for illegal purposes could be detrimental to our business.

Our payment system is susceptible to potentially illegal use. Use of our payment system for illegal or improper purposes could subject us to claims, such as individual and class action lawsuits, and government and regulatory investigations, inquiries or requests that could result in potential liability. Increased penalties for intermediaries providing payment services for certain illegal activities have become more prevalent. Any threatened or resulting claims could result in a material adverse effect on our business.

We may be subject to credit card transaction fraud.

Our business model depends upon the processing of credit cards and may include the sale of gift cards. In cases where we are the merchant of record on a gift card sale, we could be held financially responsible for the value of gift cards which are purchased using a fraudulent or stolen credit card. While we use software and safeguards to ensure that credit cards we accept are valid, there can be no assurance that credit card fraud will not occur. In addition, in the case of transactions where our merchant is in the United States and is the merchant of record, we are not generally responsible for credit card fraud. However, given that our business will be dependent on the successful processing of credit cards and payment solutions, fraudulent processing could have an adverse effect on our merchant relationships and could result in liability. Additionally, other countries have varying rules on who the responsible party would be in certain variations of credit card or other payment fraud. While we are researching such international policies and rules, as necessary, and are implementing safeguards to minimize risk, there can be no assurance that we will not incur liability relating to credit card or other payment fraud.

If we are unable to effectively protect our intellectual property rights on a worldwide basis, we may not be successful in the planned international expansion of our Platform.

Access to worldwide markets depends in part on the strength of our intellectual property portfolio. There can be no assurance that, as our business expands into new areas, we will be able to independently develop the technology, software or know-how necessary to conduct our business or that we can do so without infringing the intellectual property rights of others. To the extent that we have to rely on licensed technology from others, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain licenses at all or on terms we consider reasonable. The lack of a necessary license could expose us to claims for damages and/or injunction from third parties, as well as claims for indemnification by our customers in instances where we have a contractual or other legal obligation to indemnify them against damages resulting from infringement claims. Regarding our own intellectual property, we intend to actively enforce and protect our rights to the extent practicable. However, there can be no assurance that our efforts will be adequate to prevent the misappropriation or improper use of our protected technology in international markets.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK

Our strategic alternatives process may not result in a successful corporate transaction or liquidity event.

Our Board of Directors is continually exploring our strategic alternatives. Any process of exploring strategic alternatives includes market risk and other uncertainties. There can be no assurance that an exploration of strategic alternatives will result in the successful consummation of a liquidity event, capital raise or other corporate transaction, on a basis that will provide any specific level of value to our common stockholders or other security holders, or at all. On September 22, 2022 the Company engaged an investment banking firm to explore a potential sale of the Company. The Company and this investment banking firm mutually agreed to terminate their agreement on February 22, 2024 and a merchant bank was simultaneously engaged in a consultative capacity to advise on capital funding and strategic initiatives. We terminated our agreement with the merchant bank in March 2025 due to the incapacity of the principal and are assessing the retention of a replacement advisor. We remain committed to the exploration and assessment of our strategic alternatives.

If we are unable successfully to manage growth, our operations could be adversely affected.

Our progress is expected to require the full utilization of our management, financial and other resources, which to date has occurred with limited working capital. Our ability to manage growth effectively will depend on our ability to improve and expand operations, including our financial and management information systems, and to recruit, train and manage sales personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be able to manage growth effectively. If we do not properly manage the growth of our business, we may experience significant strains on our management and operations and disruptions in our business. Various risks arise when companies and industries grow quickly. If our business or industry grows too quickly, our ability to meet customer demand in a timely and efficient manner could be challenged. We may also experience development delays as we seek to meet increased demand for our products. Our failure to properly manage the growth that we or our industry might experience could negatively impact our ability to execute on our operating plan and, accordingly, could have an adverse impact on our business, our cash flow and results of operations, and our reputation with our current or potential customers.

As a public company, we are required to incur substantial expenses.

We are subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, which requires, among other things, review, audit, and public reporting of our financial results, business activities, and other matters. SEC regulations, including regulations enacted as a result of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, have also substantially increased the accounting, legal, and other costs related to compliance with SEC reporting obligations. If we do not have current information about our Company available to market makers, they will not be able to trade our stock. The public company costs of preparing and filing annual and quarterly reports, and other information with the SEC will cause our expenses to be higher than they would be if we were privately held. These increased costs may be material and may include the hiring of additional employees and/or the retention of additional advisors and professionals. Our failure to comply with the federal securities laws could result in private or governmental legal action against us and/or our officers and directors, which could have a detrimental effect on our business and finances, the value of our stock, and the ability of stockholders to resell their stock.

We operate in a highly competitive industry and compete against many large companies.

Many companies worldwide are dedicated to providing online payment solutions including mobile payments, electronic funds transfer networks, cross-border access to networks, prepaid cards, bill pay networks and other online and offline payment methods. The market in which we operate is characterized by numerous and larger competitors, including PayPal, credit card companies, and credit card processors that offer services to online retailers, rapid technological changes, and intense competition. We expect more companies to enter the online payment business, particularly the segment aimed at serving the “Under 18” demographic. Most if not all of these competitors have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial, technical, marketing, customer service and other resources, and greater name recognition than us. As a result, they may respond to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements faster and more effectively than we can. If any current online payment solution develops a COPPA compliant service, it would be substantially more difficult for us to introduce and distribute our Platform to the market, and our business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially and adversely affected.

Trading in our common stock has been limited, there is no significant trading market for our common stock, and purchasers of our common stock may be unable to sell their shares.

Our common stock is currently ~~eligible~~ eligible for quotation on the Over-the-Counter Market (“OTC QB”), however trading to date has been limited. If activity in the market for shares of our common stock does not increase, purchasers of our shares may find it difficult to sell their shares. We currently do not meet the initial listing criteria for any registered securities exchange, including the Nasdaq Stock Market. The OTC Bulletin Board is a less recognized market than the foregoing exchanges and is often characterized by low trading volume and significant price fluctuations. These and other factors may further impair our stockholders’ ability to sell their shares when they want to and/or could depress our stock price. As a result, stockholders may find it difficult to dispose of, or obtain accurate quotations of the price of our securities because smaller quantities of shares could be bought and sold, transactions could be delayed, and security analyst and news coverage of our Company may be limited. These factors could result in lower prices and larger spreads in the bid and ask prices for our shares of common stock.

We may not be able to qualify to have our common stock listed on a national stock exchange.

The Company’s common stock currently trades on the ~~Over-the-Counter Market (“~~OTC QB”) in the United States. Listing requirements for exchanges such as NASDAQ include financial and trading requirements that, as of December 31, ~~2023~~2024 the Company does not meet. The listing process can be lengthy, discretionary, and ultimately must include meeting financial and trading requirements. There can be no assurance that the Company will ever be listed on a national stock exchange. Currently, the Company does not qualify for listing based on its stock price, among other things. Therefore, certain institutional investors may not be able to purchase the Company’s common stock as a result of their own ownership guidelines and liquidity in the Company’s common stock would remain more limited. Further, the Company’s ability to raise money through subsequent offerings of its common stock will be more limited if the Company is not able to list on a national exchange.

Applicable SEC rules governing the trading of “penny stocks” may limit the trading and liquidity of our common stock which may affect the trading price of our common stock.

Our common stock is a “penny stock” as defined under Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act and is accordingly subject to SEC rules and regulations that impose limitations upon the manner in which our common stock can be publicly traded. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a per share price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on some national securities exchanges or quoted on NASDAQ). The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, broker-dealers who sell these securities to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors” must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. Consequently, these requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity, if any, of our common stock and reducing the liquidity of an investment in our common stock.

We have outstanding shares of preferred stock with rights and preferences superior to those of our common stock.

The issued and outstanding shares of Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock and Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, and the authorized but unissued shares of Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, grant the holders of such preferred stock anti-dilution, voting, dividend and liquidation rights (including liquidation multiples) that are superior to those held by the holders of our common stock. In addition, upon the issuance or deemed issuance of additional shares of common stock in the future for a price below the applicable preferred stock conversion price (currently $0.90 per share), the conversion price of the Series A and Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock will be lowered based on a weighted average formula, and the conversion price of the Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock will be lowered based on a full-ratchet formula for twelve months from the original authorization date and pursuant to a weighted average formula thereafter, all of which will have the effect of immediately diluting the holders of our common stock.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market originally issued through the conversion of preferred stock, exercise of options or warrants, or additional financing transactions could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and would have a dilutive effect upon our shareholders.18

Historically, our common stock has been thinly traded. This low trading volume may have had a significant effect on the market price of our common stock, which may not be indicative of the market price in a more liquid market. As of April 1, 2024, options for the purchase of 13,710,000 shares of our common stock were outstanding and 61,165,005 shares of common stock were issuable upon conversion of our outstanding Series A and B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock and 10% Secured Convertible Notes Payable convertible into Series B and 4% Secured Convertible Notes Payable convertible into Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market originally issued through the conversion of convertible notes, preferred stock, exercise of options or warrants, or additional financing transactions could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Historically, our common stock has been thinly traded. This low trading volume may have had a significant effect on the market price of our common stock, which may not be indicative of the market price in a more liquid market. As of March 31, 2025, options for the purchase of 14,048,650 shares of our common stock were outstanding and 66,054,100 shares of common stock were issuable upon conversion of our outstanding Series A and B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock and 10% Secured Convertible Notes Payable convertible into Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock and 4% Secured Convertible Notes Payable convertible into Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market originally issued through the conversion of convertible notes, preferred stock, exercise of options or warrants, or additional financing transactions could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

We intend to raise additional funds in the future through issuances of securities and such additional funding may be dilutive to shareholders or impose operational restrictions.

We intend to raise additional capital in the future to help fund our operations through sales of shares of our common stock or securities convertible into shares of our common stock, as well as issuances of debt. Such additional financing may be dilutive to our shareholders, and debt financing, if available, may involve the pledge of security interests in our assets, and restrictive covenants, which may limit our operating flexibility. If additional capital is raised through the issuances of shares of our common stock or securities convertible into shares of our common stock, the percentage ownership of existing shareholders will be reduced. These shareholders may experience additional dilution in net book value per share and any additional equity securities may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of the holders of our common stock.

Because we do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future, investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase shares of common stock.

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business. As a result, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Our payment of any future dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors after taking into account various factors, including but not limited to our financial condition, operating results, cash needs, growth plans and the terms of any credit agreements that we may be a party to at the time. Accordingly, investors must rely on sales of their shares, after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize any return on their investment. Investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase our shares.

We are not subject to certain corporate governance provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and without voluntary compliance with such provisions, our shareholders will not receive the benefits and protections they were enacted to provide.

Since our common stock is not listed for trading on a national securities exchange, we are not subject to certain of the corporate governance requirements established by the national securities exchanges pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. These include rules relating to independent directors, and independent director nomination, audit and compensation committees. Unless we voluntarily elect to comply with those obligations, investors in our shares will not have the protections offered by those corporate governance provisions.

We will be required to remain current in our filings with the SEC or our securities will not be eligible for continued quotation on the OTC QB.

We are required to remain current in our filings with the SEC in order for our shares of common stock to continue to be eligible for quotation on the OTC QB. In the event that we become delinquent in our required filings with the SEC, quotation of shares of our common stock will be terminated following a 30-day grace period if we do not make our required filing during that time. In such an event purchasers of our common stock may find it difficult to sell their common stock.

~~If we issue shares of preferred stock with superior rights to the shares of common stock, it could result in a decrease in the value of our common stock and delay or prevent a change in control of us.~~19

Our board of directors is authorized to issue up to 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock with such rights, designation, and preferences as determined by our board of directors. As of the date of this report, we have 332,753 shares of preferred stock outstanding (consisting of 98,350 shares of Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock and 234,403 shares of Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock), authorized the issuance of up to 300,000 shares of Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, and 1,667,247 preferred shares remain unissued. Our board of directors has the power to establish the dividend rates, liquidation preferences, voting rights, redemption and conversion terms and privileges with respect to any series of preferred stock without shareholder approval. Depending upon our future financial needs, our board may, in the exercise of its business discretion, determine to issue additional shares of preferred stock having rights superior to those of our common stock which may result in a decrease in the value or market price of such shares. Holders of such preferred stock may have the right to receive dividends, certain preferences in liquidation and conversion rights. The issuance of preferred stock could, under certain circumstances, have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us without further vote or action by the stockholders and may adversely affect the voting and other rights of the holders of the shares of our common stock.

If we issue shares of preferred stock with superior rights to the shares of common stock, it could result in a decrease in the value of our common stock and delay or prevent a change in control of us.

Our board of directors is authorized to issue up to 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock with such rights, designation, and preferences as determined by our board of directors. As of the date of this report, we have 379,519 shares of preferred stock outstanding (consisting of 98,350 shares of Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock and 281,169 shares of Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock), authorized the issuance of up to 300,000 shares of Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, and 1,620,481 preferred shares remain unissued. Our board of directors has the power to establish the dividend rates, liquidation preferences, voting rights, redemption and conversion terms and privileges with respect to any series of preferred stock without shareholder approval. Depending upon our future financial needs, our board may, in the exercise of its business discretion, determine to issue additional shares of preferred stock having rights superior to those of our common stock which may result in a decrease in the value or market price of such shares. Holders of such preferred stock may have the right to receive dividends, certain preferences in liquidation and conversion rights. The issuance of preferred stock could, under certain circumstances, have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us without further vote or action by the stockholders and may adversely affect the voting and other rights of the holders of the shares of our common stock.

Provisions of our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and Delaware law may make a contested takeover of our Company more difficult.

Certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware ("DGCL") could deter a change in our management or render more difficult an attempt to obtain control of us, even if such a proposal is favored by a majority of our stockholders. For example, we are subject to the provisions of the DGCL that prohibit a public Delaware corporation from engaging in a broad range of business combinations with a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns 15% or more of the corporation’s outstanding voting shares (an "interested stockholder") for three years after the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. Our certificate of incorporation also includes undesignated preferred stock, which may enable our board of directors to discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a tender offer, proxy contest, merger or otherwise. Finally, our bylaws include an advance notice procedure for stockholders to nominate directors or submit proposals at a stockholders’ meeting. Delaware law and our charter may therefore inhibit a takeover.

The influx of additional shares of our common stock onto the market pursuant to SEC Rule 144 may create downward pressure on the trading price of our common stock.

A material percentage of the currently outstanding shares of our common stock were issued as “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. As restricted securities, these shares may be resold only pursuant to an effective registration statement, under the requirements of Rule 144, or other applicable exemptions from registration under the Act and applicable state securities laws. Generally, Rule 144 provides that a person who has held restricted securities for a prescribed period may, under certain conditions, publicly resell such shares. Under Rule 144, a non-affiliate (i.e., a stockholder who has not been an officer, director or control person for at least 90 consecutive days) may freely resell restricted securities issued by a reporting company so long as such securities have been held by the owner for a period of at least one year, or under certain circumstances six months. The availability of a large number of shares for sale to the public under Rule 144 and the sale of such shares in public markets could have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.

We may require shareholders to authorize additional shares for us to properly finance our business.

Upon the Company’s formation, and through a subsequent approval, our shareholders authorized and approved 230,000,000 shares of common stock. Currently, only approximately 9.8 19 million of such shares remain available for issuance. To finance and continue to grow our business, we will require additional capital and have historically relied upon the issuance of common stock, or securities convertible into common stock, for such financing. Should our shareholders be unwilling to approve a sufficient increase in the number of our authorized shares of common stock, we would be required to finance our business with debt or other instruments, which may be difficult or impossible to secure on terms acceptable to us. If that were to occur, we may not be able to (a) pay our costs and expenses as they are incurred, (b) execute our business plan, (c) take advantage of future opportunities, or (d) respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated requirements, which may, in the extreme case, require us to liquidate the Company.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Management’s judgment could impact the amount of non-cash compensation expense.

To estimate the fair value of our stock option awards we currently use the Black-Scholes options pricing model. The determination of the fair value of equity-based awards on the date of grant using an options pricing model is affected by our current stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. Management is required to make certain judgments for these variables which include the expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, the expected term of options based on employee exercise behaviors, and the risk-free interest rate. One of the factors used in determining such value is stock volatility. Because of the limited trading activity of our common stock, prior to January 1, 2014, we used the stock volatility of four peer companies. To the extent that we used different peer companies to measure volatility, a different stock volatility factor may have resulted which would have caused a different stock valuation and a related increase or decrease in non-cash compensation expense. Beginning January 1, 2014, volatility in all instances presented is the Company’s estimate of volatility that is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock price. If actual results are not consistent with our assumptions and judgments used in estimating key assumptions, in future periods, the stock option expense that we record for future grants may differ significantly from what we have recorded in the current period.

Risk Management and Strategy

Our corporate information technology, communication networks, enterprise applications, accounting and financial reporting platforms, and related systems, and those that we offer to our customers are necessary for the operation of our business. We use these systems, among others, to manage our customer and vendor relationships, for internal communications, for accounting to operate record-keeping functions, and for many other key aspects of our business. Our business operations rely on the secure collection, storage, transmission, and other processing of proprietary, confidential, and sensitive data.

We have implemented and maintain various information security processes designed to identify, assess and manage material risks from cybersecurity threats to our critical computer networks, third-party hosted services, communications systems, hardware and software, and our critical data, including intellectual property, confidential information that is proprietary, strategic or competitive in nature, and tenant data (“Information Systems and Data”). ~~We identify and assess risks from cybersecurity threats by monitoring and evaluating our threat environment and our risk profile using various methods.~~

We identify and assess risks from cybersecurity threats by monitoring and evaluating our threat environment and our risk profile using various methods.

Depending on the environment, we implement and maintain various technical, physical, and organizational measures, processes, standards, and/or policies designed to manage and mitigate material risks from cybersecurity threats to our Information Systems and Data, including risk assessments and incident detection and response. We work with third parties from time to time that assist us to identify, assess, and manage cybersecurity risks, including professional services firms and consulting firms.

To operate our business, we utilize certain third-party service providers to perform a variety of functions. We seek to engage reliable, reputable service providers that maintain cybersecurity programs.

We are not aware of any risks from cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any cybersecurity incidents, which have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our Company, including our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition.

Governance

Our full Board of Directors (the “Board”) oversees the Company’s enterprise risk management process, including the management of risks arising from cybersecurity threats. The Board receives prompt and timely information regarding any cybersecurity incident that meets established reporting thresholds, as well as ongoing updates regarding any such incident until it has been addressed.

Management plays a crucial role in assessing and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats. At the management level, the Company’s cybersecurity risk management and strategy is led by its Head of Product and Operations, who reports to the CEO. The qualifications of the Head of Product and Operations include over 20 years of IT management, cybersecurity, and information governance experience. The Head of Product and Operations is regularly informed about the latest developments in cybersecurity, including emerging threats and technologies to adapt security measures accordingly. This ongoing knowledge acquisition is crucial for the effective prevention, detection, mitigation, and remediation of cybersecurity incidents. Management’s role includes:

●

Risk Assessment: Management conducts annual cybersecurity risk assessments to identify and evaluate potential threats and vulnerabilities. Management considers the likelihood and potential impact of various cybersecurity risks, considering the Company’s assets, systems, and operations, to prioritize mitigation efforts.

●

Compliance with Regulations: Management implements and maintains compliance with relevant cybersecurity regulations and standards applicable to the Company.

The Head of Product and Operations is promptly informed of potential cybersecurity risks, threats, and vulnerabilities by any employees or consultants. Once an incident has been identified, the Head of Product and Operations and the security consulting team assess the criticality and impact of the incident on the Company’s business operations. The Head of Product and Operations then formulates and oversees a response to contain, eradicate and resolve incidents in accordance with the Company’s incident response plan. Management is responsible for reporting incidents to the appropriate authorities as necessary and engaging the senior leadership on all material incidents.

Overview

REGO Payment Architectures, Inc. is a provider of consumer software that delivers a mobile payment platform—Mazoola® - a family -focused mobile banking solution. Headquartered in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania, the Company maintains a portfolio of trade secrets and four US patent awards. REGO offers an all-digital financial payments platform to enable minors, particularly under 13 years old, to transact, complete chores and learn in a secure online environment guided by parental permission, oversight, and control, while remaining COPPA and GDPR compliant.

Management believes that by building on its COPPA compliance advantage, the future of REGO Payment Architectures, Inc. will be based on the foundational architecture of its software platform (the “Platform”) that will allow its use across multiple financial markets where secure controlled payments are needed. The Company intends to license in each alternative field of use the ability for its partners, distributors and/or value-added resellers to private label each of the alternative markets. These partners would deploy, customize and support each implementation under their own label, but with acknowledgement of the Company’s proprietary intellectual assets as the base technology. Management believes this approach will enable the Company to reduce marketing expenses while broadening its reach.

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

Table of Contents

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

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

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

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

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

REGO addresses hard industry problems such as:

●

COPPA compliant technology with a key component being its ability to verify the age of an internet user

●

A master and sub-account architecture with the ability to administer user-specific controls

●

An advanced rules engine to provide strict automated compliance of the parental rules for each child

●

Near real-time buying behavior database on minors - anonymized geolocation, age range and purchases

We are seeking partners that will leverage our Platform to:

Buy vs. Build: Partners can license or revenue share for their specific market or field of use a safe, compliant system, instead of building one on their own.

Safety & Security: Partners can safely engage a younger consumer segment and their families with a new family friendly peer-to-peer-payment approach. Vendors will be explicitly protected from non-compliant transactions and the underlying technology protects the privacy of the user.

Table of Contents

Youth Financial Literacy: Partners can expand their brand story around empowerment and education of youth financial literacy while engaging their ‘future customers’ with Gen Z, a digital native population of post-millennial youth.

The REGO Mazoola® app and associated digital wallet technology is designed to enable our partners to engage families with Gen Z and Gen Alpha youths through a money management, transactional and financial literacy platform that enables young people to make smart decisions about the things they value in life — including their money, their time, their ideas and their connections. The Mazoola® app enables a new way for individual users to own and monetize their purchasing behavior that is currently unavailable to them.

Table of Contents

In addition, we are analyzing specific components of our technology for individual monetization as well as exploring opportunities in the Business to Business (“B2B”) realm.

Other markets for potential licensed applications are:

●

Closed network consumer to business (C2B) and business to business (B2B). An example is school lunch programs where the consumer can make direct mobile payments to the provider’s point of sale (POS) terminal without the need to traverse the traditional merchant payment system. This reduces the cost per transaction for the vendor and provides instant non-repudiated settlement. Many school lunch programs are now provided by large catering companies. This is particularly valuable as credit card fees, transaction fees and service fees can exceed 3% in overhead costs per transaction dependent on the negotiated rate. Removing this overhead can have a significant positive financial impact on profitably. It also allows the closed network to own its own behavioral use data thus obviating the need to pay a third party for the same data.

●

Integration of our certified COPPA-compliant white label Family Wallet Banking-as-a-Platform into digital banking platforms. This will make the Company's family wallet available to financial institutions which will allow end-user customers of subscribing financial institutions to utilize the Company's family wallet.

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

Results of Operations

Comparison of the Years Ended December 31, ~~2023~~2024 and ~~2022~~2023

The following discussion analyzes our results of operations for the years ended December 31, ~~2023~~2024 and ~~2022~~2023. The following information should be considered together with our financial statements for such periods and the accompanying notes thereto.

Table of Contents

Subsequent to December 31, 2023, the Company did not raise any proceeds through the issuance of the Company’s Series B Preferred stock.

As we have not realized significant revenues since our inception, we have financed our operations through public and private offerings of debt and equity securities.

On March 13, 2023, Company ~~entered~~ entered into an Investor Private Line of Credit agreement (the “LOC Agreement”) with James Davison (the “Lender”). ~~The~~ The Lender is an existing shareholder of the Company. Pursuant to the LOC Agreement, the Lender may extend unsecured loans to the Company in the amount of up to twenty million dollars ($20,000,000) which may be drawn upon by the Company for a period of one year in order to provide additional capital to facilitate the Company’s operations. Drawings may be made by the Company as long as there has not been any material change in the operations of the Company. Loans under the LOC Agreement bear interest at the rate of 7% per annum. Drawings under the LOC Agreement must be repaid in full: (i) upon the execution and completion of a sale, merger or other transaction of the Company whereby the Company transfers its ownership and/or its assets to a third party within thirty (30) days of the completion of the transaction (a “Change of Control”) or (ii) if a Change of Control does not occur within one year from the date ~~hereof,~~of the LOC Agreement, the Company will repay any amounts outstanding within sixty (60) days. This LOC Agreement was extended for one year on March 13, 2024 and then again on March 13, 2025 for an additional year. There have been no draws on this LOC Agreement as of December 31, ~~2023~~2024.

Since our inception, we have focused on developing and implementing our business plan. We believe that our existing cash resources will not be sufficient to sustain our operations during the next twelve months. We currently need to generate sufficient revenues to support our cost structure to enable us to pay ongoing costs and expenses as they are incurred, finance enhancements to our Platform, and execute the business plan. If we cannot generate sufficient revenue to fund our business plan, we intend to seek to raise such financing through the sale of debt and/or equity securities. The issuance of additional equity would result in dilution to existing shareholders. The issuance of convertible debt may also result in dilution to existing stockholders. If we are unable to obtain additional funds when they are needed or if such funds cannot be obtained on terms acceptable to us, we will be unable to execute upon the business plan or pay costs and expenses as they are incurred, which would have a material, adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.27

Even if we are successful in generating sufficient revenue or in raising sufficient capital in order to commercialize the Platform, our ability to continue in business as a viable going concern can only be achieved when our revenues reach a level that sustains our business operations. We do not project that significant revenue will be developed until at the earliest the second quarter of 2024. There can be no assurance that we will raise sufficient proceeds, or any proceeds, for us to implement fully our proposed business plan. Moreover, there can be no assurance that even if the Platform is fully developed and successfully commercialized, that we will generate revenues sufficient to fund our operations. In either such situation, we may not be able to continue our operations and our business might fail.

As of April 1, 2024, the Company has a cash position of approximately $4.3 million. Based upon the current cash position and the Company’s planned expense run rate, management believes the Company will be able to finance its operations through December 2024.

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

As of March 31, 2025, the Company has a cash position of approximately $1.6 million. Based upon the current cash position and the Company’s planned expense run rate, management believes the Company will be able to finance its operations through June 2025.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, ~~2023~~2024, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partners, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As such, we are not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our financial statements are impacted by the accounting policies used and the estimates and assumptions made by management during their preparation. A complete summary of these policies is included in Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements included elsewhere herein. We have identified below the accounting policies that are of particular importance in the presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows and which require the application of significant judgment by management.

Stock-based Compensation

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

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

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

Table of Contents

Revenue Recognition

In accordance with FASB ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies performance obligations, by transferring promised goods or services to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for fulfilling those performance obligations.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management has evaluated, ~~under~~ under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our ~~disclosure~~ disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15(d)-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial ~~Officer~~ Officer concluded that, as of December 31, ~~2023~~2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure (i) that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) that such information is accumulated and communicated to to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, in order to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed 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. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our management conducted an evaluation of the ~~effectiveness~~ effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, ~~2023~~2024 using criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, ~~2023~~2024.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 10. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE.

Name	Age	Position with Company
Gerald Hannahs	7273	Chairman of the Board
Peter S. Pelullo	7273	Director, Chief Executive Officer
Joseph R. Toczydlowski	5455	Chief Financial Officer

Our directors serve annual terms. We believe that our board of directors should be composed of individuals with sophistication and experience in many substantive areas that impact our business. We believe that experience, qualifications, or skills in the following areas are most important: software development, ecommerce, the FinTech industry, accounting and finance; strategic planning; and human resources and development practices; and board practices of other corporations. These areas are in addition to the personal qualifications described in this section. We believe that all of our current board members possess the professional and personal qualifications necessary for board service and have highlighted particularly noteworthy attributes for each board member in the individual biographies below. The principal occupation and business experience, for at least the past five years of each current director and executive officer is as follows:

Gerald Hannahs

Mr. Hannahs served as an Account Executive and First Vice President for EF Hutton, Prudential and Paine Webber from 1982 to 1986. Mr. Hannahs co-founded Texarkoma Crude & Gas Company in 1983. Mr. Hannahs has over 30 years of experience in the investment business and the oil and gas industry. As a result of these and other professional experiences, Mr. Hannahs possesses particular knowledge and experience in investing, finance and accounting, SEC reporting, sales and marketing that strengthen the board’s collective qualifications, skills, and experience.

Peter S. Pelullo

Peter S. Pelullo, has been an entrepreneur for the past 20 years and has been Chief Executive Officer since August 2020. While his career has focused on the media and telecommunications industries, Mr. Pelullo has had extensive experience in both the construction and food and beverage industries.

He previously served as a Senior Tax Accountant at United Refrigeration, Inc. and Arthur Andersen & Co.

Committees of the Board of Directors

At this time, due to the small size of the Company’s Board of Directors, the Company does not have any committees of the Board of Directors and the Board of Directors does not have an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined by the SEC rules.

Table of Contents

Code of Ethics

Our board of directors approved a Code of Ethics and Rules of Conduct in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that govern the conduct of each of our directors, officers, consultants and employees. Our Code of Ethics and Rules of Conduct is maintained on our website at www.regopayments.com. Any amendments to, or waivers of the Code of Ethics and Rules of Conduct that apply to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, or principal accounting officer and that relates to any element of the definition of the term “code of ethics,” as the term is defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, will be posted on our website at www.regopayments.com. There are currently no such amendments or waivers.

We recognize the importance of preventing both actual conflicts of interest and the appearance of such conflicts in dealings between the Company and “related persons” (our directors, director nominees, executive officers, stockholders beneficially owning 5% or greater of our common stock, or the immediate family members of any of the foregoing). The Board of Directors will regularly review our corporate policies with respect to conflicts of interest including related party transactions and investigate instances of such conflicts.

Each matter described below under “Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence” was vetted and pre-approved by a majority of the disinterested members of our Board of Directors.

Insider Trading Policy

The Company has not adopted a formal Insider Trading Policy. However, the Board and management are cognizant of the need to promote compliance with applicable securities laws, known as “insider trading” laws, which prohibit persons who receive or become aware of material non-public information about the Company (or other companies that do business with the Company) from trading in the Company’s (or such other company’s) securities or providing material non-public information to others who may trade in the Company’s (or such other company’s) securities on the basis of that information.

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires that our officers and directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our common stock file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in beneficial ownership of our common stock with the SEC. They are also required to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file with the SEC. Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received by us, or written representations from such persons that no reports were required for those persons, we believe that all Section 16(a) filing requirements were satisfied during our fiscal year ended December 31, ~~2023 with the following exceptions regarding the timely filing of Form 4: Mr. Hannahs received 1~~2024,~~850,000~~ ~~shares~~except ~~pursuant to stock awards and settlement of 2,000,000 shares pursuant to prior stock awards~~ that ~~were not timely filed on Form 4;~~ Mr. Pelullo ~~received 2,450,000~~failed ~~shares pursuant~~ to ~~stock~~make ~~awards~~two ~~and a settlement of 2,500,000 shares pursuant to prior stock awards that were not timely filed on~~ Form 4; ~~Mr. Toczydlowski received 200~~filings,~~000~~ each ~~shares~~with ~~pursuant~~respect to ~~stock~~the ~~awards~~issuance ~~and a settlement~~ of ~~75,000~~one ~~shares~~compensatory ~~pursuant to prior~~ stock ~~awards that were not timely filed on Form 4~~grant.

2008 Equity Incentive Plan

We adopted our 2008 Equity Incentive Plan as of March 3, 2008 (the “2008 Plan”). Awards could be made under the 2008 Plan for up to 25,000,000 shares of our common stock in the form of stock options or deferred stock awards. Awards could be given to our employees, officers or directors as well as our consultants or advisors. The 2008 Plan is administered by our board of directors which has full and final authority to interpret the 2008 Plan, select the persons to whom awards may be granted, and determine the amount, vesting and all other terms of any awards.

All stock options granted under the 2008 Plan are exercisable for a period of up to ten years from the date of grant, are subject to vesting as determined by the board upon grant, and have an exercise price equal to not less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant (except for incentive stock options granted to 10% stockholders, which are required to have an exercise price of not less than 110% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date the option is granted). Unless otherwise determined by the board, awards may not be transferred except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. The board has discretion to determine the effect on any award granted under the 2008 Plan of the death, disability, retirement, resignation, termination or other change in employment or other status of any participant in the 2008 Plan.

38Upon the occurrence of a “Change in Control”, as defined in the 2008 Plan, the board may take any number of actions. These actions include providing for all options outstanding under the 2008 Plan to be assumed by the acquiring corporation or to become immediately vested and exercisable in full. The original expiration date of March 3, 2018 was extended for one year. The 2008 Plan expired on March 3, 2019 and no further grants may be made thereunder.

2013 Equity Incentive Plan

During 2013, the board and our stockholders adopted the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (“2013 Plan”). Under the 2013 Plan, we were authorized to grant awards of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards of up to an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of common stock to any officer, employee, director or consultant. The 2013 Plan is intended to permit stock options granted to employees under ~~the~~ the 2013 Plan to qualify as incentive stock options. All options granted under the 2013 Plan, which are not intended to qualify as incentive stock options, are deemed to be non-statutory stock options. The 2013 Plan expired on November 18, 2023 and no further grants may be made thereunder.

To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Rego Payment Architectures, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance ~~sheets~~sheet of Rego Payment Architectures, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, ~~2023 and 2022~~2024, and the related consolidated ~~statements~~ statement of comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for ~~each of~~ the ~~two~~year ~~years in the period~~ ended December 31, ~~2023~~ 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, ~~2023 and 2022~~2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for ~~each of~~ the year ~~two years in the period~~ ended December 31, ~~2023~~2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s losses from development activities raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our ~~audits~~audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our ~~audits~~audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our ~~audits~~audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our ~~audits~~audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our ~~audits~~audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our ~~audits~~audit ~~provide~~provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

REGO offers an all-digital financial payments platform (the “Platform”) to enable minors, particularly under 13 years old, to purchase goods and services, complete chores and learn in a secure online environment guided by parental permission, oversight, and control, while remaining Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) and General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) compliant.

Management believes that building on its COPPA advantage ~~that~~ the future of REGO Payment Architectures, Inc. will be based on the foundational architecture of the Platform that will allow its use across multiple financial markets where secure controlled payments are needed. The Company intends to license in each alternative field of use the ability for its partners, distributors and/or value-added resellers to private label each of the alternative markets. These partners would deploy, customize and support each implementation under their own label, but with acknowledgement of the Company’s proprietary intellectual assets as the base technology. Management believes this approach will enable the Company to reduce expenses while broadening its reach.

Revenues generated from the Platform will come from multiple sources depending on the level of service and facilities requested by the parent. The Company’s model contemplates levels of subscription revenue paid monthly, service fees, transaction fees and revenue sharing and licensing with banking and distribution partners.

The Company’s principal office is located in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania.

ZOOM Solutions, Inc. (“ZS”)

REGO owned 100% of the common stock of ZS. ZS was the holding company for various subsidiaries that would utilize REGO’s payment platform to address emerging markets.

There were minimal operations at ZS during the years 2023 and 2022. ZS was legally dissolved on November 13, 2023.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). ~~All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.~~

The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including failing to secure additional financing to operationalize the Company’s current technology before another company develops similar technology to compete with the Company.

Principles of Consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Rego Payment Architectures, Inc. and Rego Data Solutions, Inc. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 these estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of accounts payable and accrued expenses and notes payable. The carrying value of accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value because of their short maturities. The Company believes the carrying amount of its notes payable approximate fair value based on rates and other terms currently available to the Company for similar debt instruments.

F-810

Table of Contents

The Company follows FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, and applies it to all assets and liabilities that are being measured and reported on a fair value basis. The statement requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1: Quoted market price in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which a fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Concentration of Credit Risk Involving Cash

The Company currently maintains, and may ~~have deposits~~in ~~with~~the afuture maintain, assets at certain financial ~~institution~~institutions ~~which~~in atthe ~~times~~U.S. ~~exceed~~in amounts that are, and in the future may be, in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) ~~coverage~~insurance limit of $250,000. ~~The Company~~ ~~has~~At ~~not~~December ~~experienced~~31, ~~any~~2024, ~~losses~~the ~~from~~Company’s ~~maintaining~~deposits ~~cash~~with ~~accounts~~a financial institution were $2,761,493 in excess of ~~federally~~the ~~insured~~FDIC ~~limits~~deposit insurance coverage of $250,000. In the event of a failure of any financial institutions where the Company maintains deposits or other assets, the Company may incur a loss to the extent such loss exceeds the FDIC insurance limitation, which could have a material adverse effect upon its liquidity, financial condition and its results of operations.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all cash accounts, which are not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties, and certificates of deposit and commercial paper with original maturities of 90 days or less to be cash or cash equivalents.

Property and Equipment

Property, equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Maintenance and repairs of property are charged to operations, and major improvements are capitalized. Upon retirement, sale, or other disposition of property and equipment, the costs and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is included in operations. The cost of leasehold improvements is amortized over the lesser of the length of the related leases or the estimated useful lives of the assets.

Patents and Trademarks

The Company has four issued patents with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”), entitled “System and Method for Verifying the Age of an Internet User,” “System and Method for Virtual Piggy Bank Wish-List,” “Parent Match” and “System and Method for Virtual Piggy Bank.” The Company has filed for one provisional U.S. patent application, as well as twelve non-provisional U.S. patent applications, one of which is pending, four of which have been allowed, and seven of which have been abandoned. Additionally, the Company has been granted two patents, entitled “Virtual Piggy Bank” and “Parent Match,” in each of Germany, Canada, and Australia. The Company also has patents pending in the Republic of Korea under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (“PCT”). Costs associated with the registration and legal defense of the patents have been capitalized and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated lives of the patents.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets in accordance with FASB ASC 360 Property, Plant, and Equipment. The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets are measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset, undiscounted and without interest or independent appraisals. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets.

Deferred Financing Costs

Costs incurred in securing long-term debt are deferred and amortized, as a charge to interest expense, over the term of the related debt. In accordance with FASB ASU No. 2015-03, Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30), Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, the Company presents debt issuance costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. In the case of long-term debt modifications, the Company follows the guidance provided by FASB ASC 470-50, Debt-Modification and Extinguishments.

Revenue Recognition

~~Revenue~~Revenues for the years ended December 31, ~~2023~~2024 and ~~2022~~2023 ~~was~~were $0 and $20,~~073.~~ ~~Revenues were derived from the operation of the Platform~~respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company follows FASB ASC 740 when accounting for income taxes, which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for temporary differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Tax years from ~~2020~~2021 through ~~2023~~2024 remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions.

Stock-based Payments

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the provisions of FASB ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based awards made to employees and directors based on estimated fair values on the grant date. The Company estimates the fair value of stock-based awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods using the straight-line method. In accordance with ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees are included. Consistent with the accounting requirement for employee share-based payment awards, nonemployee share-based payment awards within the scope of Topic 718 are measured at grant-date fair value of the equity instruments that an entity is obligated to issue when the good has been delivered or the service has been rendered and any other conditions necessary to earn the right to benefit from the instruments have been satisfied.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs were $~~5,833~~125 and $05,833 for the years ended December 31, ~~2023~~2024 and ~~2022~~2023. These costs when incurred ~~are~~ are included in sales and marketing expenses.

Product Development Costs

In accordance with FASB ASC 730, research and development costs are expensed when incurred. Product development costs were $23,~~923~~286,~~937~~232 and $2,~~059~~923,~~890~~937 for the years ended December 31, ~~2023~~2024 and ~~2022~~2023.

Loss Per Share

The Company follows FASB ASC 260 when reporting Earnings (Loss) Per Share resulting in the presentation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share. Because the Company reported a net loss for each of the years ended December 31, ~~2023~~2024 and ~~2022~~2023, common stock equivalents, including preferred stock, stock options and warrants were anti-dilutive; therefore, the amounts reported for basic and diluted loss per share were the same.

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN

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

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

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

As of ~~April~~March 131, ~~2024~~2025, the Company has a cash position of approximately $41.36 million. Based upon the current cash position and the Company’s planned expense run rate, management believes the Company has funds currently to finance its operations through ~~December~~ ~~2024~~June 2025.

NOTE 3 - PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS

Costs associated with the registration of patents have been capitalized and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated lives of the patents (20 years). Trademarks are also being amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of 20 years. At December 31, ~~2023~~2024 and ~~2022~~2023, capitalized patent and trademark costs, net of accumulated amortization, were $~~325~~286,~~150~~897 and $~~352~~325,~~859~~150. Amortization expense for patents and trademarks was $3839,~~924~~371 and $3738,~~992~~924 for the years ended December 31, ~~2023~~2024 and ~~2022~~2023.

~~F-11~~The aggregate amortization expense for each of the next five fiscal years is expected to be as follows:

Year	Estimated Amortization Expense
2025	$	39,000
2026	$	39,000
2027	$	39,000
2028	$	39,000
2029	$	39,000

The intangible assets are reviewed for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which the net operating losses and temporary differences become deductible. Management considered projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. The value of the deferred tax assets was offset by a valuation allowance, due to the current uncertainty of the future realization of the deferred tax assets.

The timing and manner in which the Company can utilize operating loss carryforwards in any year may be limited by provisions of the Internal Revenue Code regarding changes in ownership of corporations. Such limitation may have an impact on the ultimate realization of its carryforwards and future tax deductions.
