Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Many of the matters discussed within this Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Annual Report”) contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) on our current expectations and projections about future events. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “potential,” “continue,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” and similar expressions. These statements are based on our current beliefs, expectations, and assumptions and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond our control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed, projected or implied in or by the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include the risks noted under Part 1. “Business”, and Part II, Item 7”, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations” but are also contained elsewhere. We do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements. Unless the context requires otherwise, references to “we,” “us,” “our,” and “Qpagos,” refer to Qpagos and its subsidiaries. As a result of these factors, we cannot assure you that the forward-looking statements in this Annual Report will prove to be accurate. Furthermore, if our forward-looking statements prove to be inaccurate, the inaccuracy may be material. In light of the significant uncertainties in these forward-looking statements, you should not regard these statements as a representation or warranty by us or any other person that we will achieve our objectives and plans in any specified time frame, or at all. We do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

Item 1. Business

Company Overview

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

We provide an integrated network of kiosks, terminals and payment channels that enable consumers to deposit cash, convert it into a digital form and remit the funds to any merchant in our network quickly and securely. We help consumers and merchants connect more efficiently in markets and consumer segments, such as Mexico, that are largely cash-based and lack convenient alternatives for consumers to pay for goods and services in physical, online and mobile environments. For example, we license technology that can be used to pay bills, add minutes to mobile phones, purchase transportation tickets, shop online, buy digital services or send money to a friend or relative.

Our current focus is on Mexico which remains a cash-dominated society for retail consumer payments with approximately 80% of the value of personal payments exchanged in cash (Bank of Mexico). The penetration of electronic payment services, such as credit and debit cards and point of sale terminals, significantly lags behind more developed economies. We believe that opportunities for our services in Mexico are vast. With over 109 million mobile subscribers in Mexico, 85% of which are under prepaid plans, the mobile sector was a $13 billion business in 2017 as reported by the Competitive Intelligence Unit (the “CIU”). We believe that there is opportunity for growth in the Mexican market and we have expanded to service providers beyond the mobile telephone operators to service providers of electricity, transportation, utilities, municipal services and taxes, consumer credit installments, insurance premiums, and many more. Altogether as of the end of the 2018 our platform had integrated over 150 such services, including the National Lottery’s; Pronosticos.

Our primary strategy in Mexico to date has been the attraction of service providers, the sale of kiosks into various verticals such as the financial, retail, transportation and government sectors, as well as the deployment of kiosks through Redpag Electrónicos S.A.P.I. de C.V., our kiosk management subsidiary. During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, we generated net revenues of $7,936,273 and $3,941,273, respectively, an increase of $3,995,000 or 101.4% from our operations in Mexico. Our primary source of revenue are commissions and fees we receive for processing payments made by consumers to service providers. We also generate revenue from non-payment services such as kiosk sales, transaction fees and software development. We currently have in excess of 150 service providers integrated into our payment gateway, which includes all major mobile phone providers in Mexico as well as most utility companies, such as gas, water, electricity and the like, financial services, entertainment services, as well as government payments for 12 of the 32 states. As of December 31, 2018, QPAGOS had deployed over 239 kiosks and terminals and service an additional 440 kiosks of an independent distributor. QPAGOS kiosks and terminals can be found at convenience stores, next to metro stations, retail stores, municipalities, education centers, shopping malls, in large and small cities as well as rural towns. QPAGOS kiosks have the advantage that they can connect with QPAGOS payments platform via LAN, Wi-Fi or mobile data, thus are operational wherever there is mobile connectivity which in Mexico covers over 90% of the 120 million population.

We believe that QPAGOS platform provides simple and intuitive user interfaces, convenient access and best-in-class services. QPAGOS runs its network and processes its transactions using a proprietary, advanced technology platform that leverages the latest virtualization, analytics and security technologies to create a fast, highly reliable, secure and redundant system. We believe that the breadth and reach of this network, along with the proprietary nature of its technology platform, differentiate us from our competitors and allow us to effectively manage and update our services and realize significant operating leverage with growth in volumes.

QPAGOS Corporate History and Background

Our current corporate structure is as follows:

(GRAPHIC)

QPAGOS was incorporated on September 25, 2013 under the laws of the State of Nevada originally under the name Asiya Pearls, Inc. On May 27, 2016, Asiya Pearls, Inc. filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation to change its name from Asiya Pearls, Inc. to QPAGOS.

Qpagos Corporation was incorporated on May 1, 2015 under the laws of Delaware under the name Qpagos Corporation as the holding company for its two 99.9% owned operating subsidiaries, QPagos, S.A.P.I. de C.V. and Redpag Electrónicos S.A.P.I. de C.V. Each of these entities were incorporated in November 2013 in Mexico.

QPagos, S.A.P.I. de C.V. was formed to process payment transactions for service providers it contracts with as well as provide electronic payment solutions to multiple clients in several industry segments including retail, financial transportation and government; and Redpag Electrónicos S.A.P.I. de C.V. was formed to deploy and operate kiosks as a distributor of Qpagos.

On August 31, 2015, QPAGOS Corporation entered into various agreements with the shareholders of Qpagos and Redpag to give effect to a reverse merger transaction (the “Reverse Merger’’). Pursuant to the Reverse Merger, the majority of the shareholders of Qpagos and Redpag effectively received shares in Qpagos Corporation, through various consulting and management agreements entered into with Qpagos Corporation and sold an effective 99.996% and 99.990% of the outstanding shares in Qpagos and Redpag, respectively to Qpagos Corporation. The series of transactions closed effective August 31, 2015. Upon the close of the Reverse Merger, Qpagos Corporation became the parent of Qpagos and Redpag and assumed the operations of these two companies as its sole business.

On May 12, 2016, Qpagos Corporation entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with QPAGOS and QPAGOS Merge, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of QPAGOS (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on May 12, 2016 Qpagos Corporation and Merger Sub merged (the “Merger”), and Qpagos Corporation continued as the surviving corporation of the Merger and became a wholly owned subsidiary of QPAGOS. As a result of the Merger, each outstanding share of Qpagos Corporation common stock was converted into the right to receive two shares of QPAGOS common stock as set forth in the Merger Agreement. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, we issued, and Qpagos Corporation stockholders received in a tax-free exchange, shares of our common stock such that Qpagos Corporation stockholders owned approximately 91% of our company immediately after the Merger. In addition, each outstanding warrant of Qpagos Corporation was assumed by us and converted into a warrant to acquire a number of shares of our common stock equal to twice the number of shares of common stock of Qpagos Corporation subject to the warrant immediately before the effective time of the Merger at an exercise price per share of Company common stock equal to 50% of the warrant exercise price for Qpagos Corporation common stock. There were no options outstanding in Qpagos Corporation prior to the merger.

On December 27, 2018 QPAGOS issued stock options to management, exercisable over 2,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.04 per share .

Our principal offices are located at Paseo del la Reforma 404 Piso 15 PH, Col. Juarez, Del. Cuauhtémoc, Mexico, D.F. C.P. 06600, and our telephone number at that office is +52 (55) 55–110–110. We also have offices in the United States that are located at 1900 Glades Road, Suite 280, Boca Raton, Florida 33431. We maintain an Internet website at www.qpagos.com. Neither this website nor the information on this website is included or incorporated in, or is a part of, this prospectus or any supplement to the prospectus.

Our Strategy

Our mission is to leverage the experience and success of other global companies in our industry, and establish ourselves as the leading developer and supplier of state-of-the-art electronic payment solutions to Mexican merchants and service providers across all consumer segments, such as: fixed and mobile telephone operators, internet services providers, cable, entertainment, public and municipal services such as electricity, water and gas, financial and travel services. Our near-term strategy includes:

	●	Positioning ourselves as the leading consumer payment solutions provider for all service providers that rely on electronic payments for their collection needs.

	●	Establishing a successful distributor network based on a competitive distribution model for entrepreneurs that look at our self-service kiosks as a profitable business opportunity, as well as retail chains and retail banks that need to expedite electronic payments that are clogging teller lines through the assistance of self-service kiosks.

●

Developing customer-specific payment solutions that allow clients to enhance their customer experience by combining mobile and hardware interfaces, such as mobile wallets and self-service kiosks, into a seamless customer-centric eco-system.

Our Business Model

Our primary source of revenue are commissions and fees we receive for processing payments.

During 2018 we processed approximately 4,404,734 payment transactions, compared to 2,102,065 in 2017, an increase of 109.5%.

For the year ended December 31, 2018, these transactions generated $7,936,273 in net revenue, of which approximately $7,296,640 (2017: $3,343,833) is net revenue derived from the operations of QPagos S.A.P.I. de C.V. and $643,633 (2017: $597,440) is net revenue derived from the operations of Redpag. We earn a gross profit of approximately 4.7% (2017: 5.9%) on airtime sales on kiosks operated by Redpag and approximately 0.1% gross profit on wholesale operations by which we provide air time and services to other non-kiosk distributors. We also earn commissions on payment services we provide to end-users through our kiosks and kiosks operated by third parties. This fee is either a transactional based fee of between USD$0.50 and USD$0.75 per transaction or a percentage of the transaction value. Certain service providers require that we receive the entire fee solely from the customers.

Our customers buy kiosks or terminals from us for approximately $6,000. The customer retains a portion of the fees that we derive from the service providers for transactions performed at the kiosks. Typically, 65% to 70% of the fees we receive from service providers are shared with the agent that has purchased the kiosk, and we retain 30–35% of such fees.

In addition, for certain public areas, such as malls and shopping centers, government agencies and large retailers who want to monetize high traffic locations, we pay the space owner a rental fee, and revenue share a smaller percentage of the commission, typically 10%. We also generate monthly rental fees for collocating our kiosks in municipal offices and integrating their services into our platform.

Additionally, when a distributor integrates their services into Qpagos platform, such as a lending institution, for their transactions done at their kiosks we charge a transaction fee that may average $0.10, while that same transaction may generate up to $0.50 when done in other kiosks in Qpagos network.

Partners-Service Providers

Our current focus has been on the prepaid mobile telephone market. According to GSMA Intelligence, Inc. Q4 2017 in Mexico, 85% of the more than 110 million mobile connections are under prepaid programs, thus millions of people make payments into these plans on a frequent basis. We currently have integrated over 150 service providers, including all principal mobile operators in Mexico, major utilities and the national lottery system “Pronosticos”. Also, QPagos has integrated 10 of Mexico’s 32 states in its payment platform, and citizens of these states can now pay at our kiosks, municipal services, such as car registration, property taxes, traffic tickets, etc.

Our Distribution Network

QPagos, S.A.P.I. de C.V is developing a distribution network along several verticals, principally: (i) an agent network of independent businesses with high customer traffic in which our kiosks can be deployed; (ii) retailers that seek to decongest teller lines and shift service payments to self-service kiosks, (iii) banks and other financial intermediaries that want to extend geographic collection points to their customers, while also improving the experience of their customers when making payments at branches, (iv) government municipalities that want to bring service payments closer to their citizens; (v) other electronic payments distributors who we wholesale our services to, and (vi) our own distributor Redpag Electrónicos with its growing network in Mexico City and adjoining states.

Agents who own kiosks and terminals are responsible for placing, operating and servicing them in high-traffic, convenient retail locations. Several of our agents are mid-sized businesses which we believe provides them with insight into local market dynamics. The agency agreements that we enter into are usually for an indefinite term and may be unilaterally terminated by either party. Our agent contracts do not have exclusivity clauses. We usually cap these fees, and normally award the agents a percentage of the merchant fees. No one agent represented a material amount of our revenue, and we do not view ourselves as being dependent upon any one agent.

Our retail and institutional clients and prospects include large retail and convenience store chains, whose tellers are being congested by service payments and who would like to move these frequent transactions to the front of their stores. We have done field trials with a large financial institution that wants to expedite collections of their financial services as well as expand their hours of operation and geographic reach to reduce transaction costs and improve customer experience by reducing wait lines with our kiosks; and state, government and local municipalities that want to provide their citizens easy access to payments. We look forward to consolidating this market opportunity during 2019.

Research and Development Expenditure

We continuously develop our product offering and make technical improvements to our software, these expenses are incurred primarily as consulting fees paid to third party developers. In this area for example we have developed mobile applications to allow customers to access the same menu of service payments in our kiosks through their mobile devices as well as developing complex applications such as the National Lottery’s Pronosticos. We have spent approximately $150,000 and $80,000 for years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 on research and new product development.

Marketing

We participate in several local events and exhibitions and provide promotional materials to distributors and retailers. We have also engaged in public relations campaigns geared towards corporate and institutional businesses, which has resulted in several business meetings with large box retailers such as Walmart, OXXO, Casa Ley, 7-Eleven, Circle K and many others. We have participated frequently in the International Franchising Exhibition in Mexico City, Guadalajara, Puebla, Ciudad Juarez and Monterrey, and yearly in ANTAD’s Guadalajara Exhibition, the association that groups the country’s mayor retail chains.

Our Technology

We run our network and process our transactions using the proprietary, advanced technology platform that we license, which leverages the latest virtualization, analytics and security technologies to create a fast, highly reliable, secure and redundant system. We believe that the breadth and reach of our network, along with the proprietary nature of the technology platform that we license, differentiates us from our competitors and allow us to effectively manage and update our services and realize significant operating leverage with growth in volumes.

We have adapted our technology to be device agnostic and today consumers can access our payment services through multiple devices, such as POS, Mobile, PC and self-service kiosks.

Competition

The payment services industry is highly competitive, and our continued growth depends on our ability to compete effectively. Although we do not face direct competition in exactly the same line of business, as no major self-service electronic payment kiosk vendors with a payment platform exists in Mexico today, we do face competition from teller-assisted operations at a variety of financial and non-financial institutions. These include retail banks, convenience stores, retail chains and mom and pop stores that provide counter based payment services. Competitors in our industry seek to differentiate themselves by features and functionalities such as speed, convenience, network geographic coverage, accessibility, hours of operation, reliability and price. A significant number of our competitors have greater financial and marketing resources than we have, operate robust networks and could decide to develop their own self-service kiosks solutions instead of buying from Qpagos.

We believe that the most serious competition comes from brick and mortar locations since the bulk of the mobile top-up business is done at major retail chains such as Walmart, Soriana, Chedraui and convenience stores such as OXXO and 7-Eleven. For example, Monterrey-based OXXO, owned by Coca-Cola bottler FEMSA, with over 18,000 stores is the largest retailer network in Mexico with daily visits of over 8 million people. Because of this high concentration of customers, OXXO has become one of the primary destinations to top up prepaid phones as well as paying utility bills, receive their money transfers, deposit into bank accounts acquire cash from cards and other payment services; in fact company states that 80% of collections are towards payment services. These brick and mortar retailers are also our key target market as they are experiencing congestion at their physical teller operations and are exploring alternatives for expediting payments through the use of self-service kiosks. We are currently in dialogues with several of these retailers which want to address teller congestion caused by the large number of customers seeking to make bill payments at the teller which affects both their customers and their core business as a convenience store retailer.

Seasonality

Typically, we do not expect that our business will experience significant seasonality, except for the government sector where the first quarter of each year has much higher activity due to payment of taxes.

Government and Environmental Regulation and Laws

Currently our business is not impacted by government regulation. We may in the future be subject to a variety of regulations aimed at preventing money laundering and financing criminal activity and terrorism, financial services regulations, payment services regulations, consumer protection laws, currency control regulations, advertising laws and privacy and data protection laws and therefore expect to experience periodic investigations by various regulatory authorities in connection with the same, which may sometimes result in monetary or other sanctions being imposed on us. Many of these laws and regulations are constantly evolving and are often unclear and inconsistent with other applicable laws and regulations, making compliance challenging and increasing our related operating costs and legal risks. In particular, there has been increased public attention and heightened legislation and regulations regarding money laundering and terrorist financing. We may have to make significant judgment calls in applying anti-money laundering legislation and risk being found in non-compliance with such laws.

If local authorities in Mexico choose to enforce specific interpretations of the applicable legislation that differ from ours or enact new laws, we may be found to be in violation and subject to penalties or other liabilities. This could also limit our ability in effecting such payments going forward and may increase our cost of doing business.

In addition, there is significant uncertainty regarding future legislation on taxation of electronic payments in Mexico, including the place where taxation may be generated. Subsequent legislation and regulation and interpretations thereof, litigation, court rulings, or other events could expose us to increased costs, liability and reputational damage that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Employees

As of December 31, 2018, QPAGOS had 2 full time employees, which are its chief executive officer and chief operating officer, and 25 full-time contractors provided to it by an outsourcing company and designated to perform services for its Mexican subsidiaries Qpagos and Redpag. Qpagos Corporation had no part-time employees. None of these employees are subject to collective bargaining agreements. Qpagos Corporation does not have employment agreements with any employees other than its Chief Executive Officer, Gaston Pereira and its Chief Operating Officer, Andrey Novikov. See “Executive Compensation.” Qpagos Corporation also enters into consulting arrangements for IT and operational services.

Item 6. Selected Financial Data

Not applicable because we are a smaller reporting company.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by, our audited annual financial statements and the related notes thereto, each of which appear elsewhere in this Report on Form 10-K. This discussion contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, as described under the heading “About Forward-Looking Statements” in this Report on Form 10-K. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. For additional information regarding these risks and uncertainties. The Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations below is based upon only the financial performance of QPAGOS.

Overview and Financial Condition

Our current focus is on Mexico which remains a cash-dominated society for retail consumer payments with approximately 80% of the value of personal payments exchanged in cash (Bank of Mexico). The penetration of electronic payment services, such as credit and debit cards and point of sale terminals, significantly lags behind more developed economies. We believe that opportunities for our services in Mexico are vast. With over 110 million mobile subscribers in Mexico, 85% of which are under prepaid plans, mobile top-up alone, was a $13 billion business in 2017 as reported by the Competitive Intelligence Unit (the “CIU”). We believe that there is opportunity for growth in the Mexican market and has expanded to service providers beyond the mobile telephone operators to service provides of electricity, transportation, utilities, municipal services and taxes, consumer credit installments, insurance premiums, and many more. Altogether as of the first quarter of 2018 our platform had integrated over 150 such services, including the National Lottery’s Pronosticos.

Our primary strategy in Mexico to date has been the attraction of service providers as well as the deployment of kiosks through Redpag Electrónicos, our kiosk management subsidiary. During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, we generated net revenues of $7,936,273 and $3,941,273, respectively, from our operations in Mexico, a 101.4% increase. Our primary source of revenue are fees we receive for processing payments made by consumers to service providers. We also generate revenue from non-payment services such as kiosk sales. Qpagos Corporation currently has in excess of 150 service providers integrated into its payment gateway, which includes all mobile phone providers in Mexico as well as most utility companies, financial services, entertainment venues and others. As of December 31, 2018, Qpagos Corporation deployed over 239 kiosks and terminals and we service an additional 440 kiosks of independent distributors. Our kiosks and terminals can be found at convenience stores, next to metro stations, retail stores, airport terminals, education centers, and malls in major urban centers, as well as many small and rural towns.

Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, of QPAGOS, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of any contingent liabilities at the financial statement date and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis we review our estimates and assumptions. The estimates are based on our historical experience and other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results are likely to differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Results of Operations for the years Ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017

Net revenues were $7,936,273 and $3,941,273 for the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 respectively, an increase of $3,995,000 or 101.4%. Qpagos Corporation operates in Mexico and its functional currency is the Mexican Peso. Qpagos Corporation’s revenue in Mexican Pesos increased to MXN 153,358,458 from MXN 74,516,037 for the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, an increase of MXN 78,842,421 or 105.8%. The increase in revenue in MXN terms is primarily due to an increase in the volume of prepaid airtime sold, directly attributable to the increased activity in its wholesale payments business and we also increased the number of our customers over the prior year. The average US$ exchange rate has strengthened against the MXN over the prior year, from $18.9066 to $19.2373 or 1.7%, which results in a lower revenue growth in US $ terms of approximately $175,099.

Cost of goods sold

Cost of goods sold was $7,867,557 and $3,913,953 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, an increase of $3,953,604 or 101.0%. Qpagos operates in Mexico and its functional currency is the Mexican Peso. Qpagos Corporation’s cost of sales in Mexican Pesos increased to MXN 151,987,736 from MXN 73,999,501 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2018, respectively, an increase of MXN 77,988,235 or 105.4%. The increase in cost of sales in MXN terms is primarily due to the increase in the volume of prepaid airtime sold which is directly attributable to the increased activity of its wholesale business during the current year. Cost of goods consists primarily of services acquired from third parties, such as prepaid air time and the cost of the kiosks and any retrofitted components. Also included in cost of sales is depreciation related to those kiosks that are used in the production of income. Depreciation expenses was $58,520 and $36,518, for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, an increase of $22,002 or 60.2%. The average US $ exchange rate has strengthened against the MXN over the prior year, from $18.9066 to $19.2733 or 1.7%, which results in a lower cost of sales in US $ terms of approximately $171,315.

Gross profit

Gross profit was $68,716 and $27,320 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, an increase of $41,396 or 151.5%. Qpagos Corporations operates in Mexico and our functional currency is the Mexican Peso. The components of gross profit are as follows:

●

Gross profit on sales of services of $35,307 and $38,759, for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, a decrease of $3,452. The decrease in gross profit is primarily due to the mix of our business shifting towards wholesale customers at lower margins and lower growth in our own managed kiosk business.

	●	Gross profit on kiosk sales increased from a gross profit of $3,990 to a gross profit of $27,416 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2018, respectively, an increase of $23,426. The increase is primarily due to 8 kiosks being sold in 2018.

	●	Gross (loss) profit other increased from a gross profit of $21,089 to a gross profit of $64,513 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2018, respectively, an increase of $43,424. The improvement in the gross profit is due to an increase in commissions earned on commission transactions, due to an increase in transaction volumes and ad-hoc kiosk maintenance.

●

Included in gross profit is depreciation related to those kiosks that are used in the production of income. Depreciation expense was $58,520 and $36,518, for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, an increase of $22,002, primarily due to new kiosks deployed during the current year.

Total expenses

Total expenses were $2,574,177 and $2,268,522 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, an increase of $305,655 or 13.5%.

Total expenses consisted primarily of the following:

	a.	General and administrative expenditure was $2,530,137 and $2,196,213 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, an increase of $333,924 or 15.2%. Qpagos Corporation has operations in Mexico and a US holding company presence which incurs some expenditure.

	i.	The general and administrative expenditure in Mexico increased to MXN 20,173,479 from MXN 14,837,629 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, an increase of MXN 5,335,850 or 36.0%. The increase is primarily due to:

	●	A provision raised against aged IVA receivables of MXN 3,663,039 which have been provided against until collectability is assured;
	●	An impairment charge of MXN 424,373 raised against older kiosks which do not have the same features as the current kiosks;
	●	A reduction in prepaid expenses of approximately MXN 2,216,475;
	●	Offset by savings in various expense categories.

	ii.	The general administrative expenses incurred by QPAGOS and Qpagos Corporation in the US, amounted to $1,491,905 and $1,411,392 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, an increase of $80,513 or 5.7%. The increase is primarily due to:

	●	An increase in stock-based compensation expense of $131,781 related to the issue of 190,000 shares of common stock to a non-executive director as compensation for directors’ fees and the issue of options exercisable over 2,000,000 shares of common stock to our executive management during the year;
	●	Investor relation fees of $33,311 and $7,600 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, an increase of $25,711 or 338%;
	●	Audit fees of $118,668 and $84,867 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, an increase of $33,801 or 40%, primarily due to the complexity of our audit process;
	●	An increase in travel and entertainment costs of $15,127, taxes and fees of $10,432, insurances of $7,026 and professional fees of $4,905 offset by;

●

Legal fees of $58,023 and $139,617 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, a decrease of $81,594 or 58%, primarily due to lower levels of legal activity on agreements and general corporate activities; and

●

Capital raising fees incurred on the issue of convertible notes, the repurchase of some of these notes and various professional fees associated with these notes of $255,412 and $303,407 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, a decrease of $47,995 or 15.8% due to a lower number of convertible notes issued during the year.

Other expense

Other expense was $3,732,371 and $166,432 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, an increase of $3,565,939. Other expense consisted of losses made on the conversion of debt to equity during the year at discounts to market prices, in terms of the various convertible note agreements entered into during the current year.

Interest expense, net

Interest expense, net was $3,059,573 and $2,071,781 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, an increase of $987,792 or 47.7%. The interest expense in the current year includes the amortization of non-cash debt discount of $2,637,656 (2017: $1,919,030) and interest expense of $344,613 (2017: $152,751), consisting of interest on notes payable and on the convertible notes, including penalty interest of $77,328 on early note settlements. The increase in debt discount and interest expense is primarily due to an increase in the number and amount of short-term convertible notes used primarily for working capital purposes. The debt discount is calculated at note inception based on the fair market value of the underlying equity of variably priced convertible notes and certain warrants.

Change in fair value of derivative liability

The change in fair value of derivative liabilities was $4,129,793 and $(330,134) for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The movements in derivative liabilities represents the mark-to-market of underlying conversion features of debt and warrant securities and is dependent on the market price of the Company’s stock and the volatility underpinning our stock.

Foreign currency gain

The foreign currency gain was $99,878 and $178,555 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, a decrease of $78,677 or 44.1%. The decrease is primarily due to the mark to market of foreign currency assets and liabilities due to a lower value of net liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and the weakness of the Mexican Peso against the US$ during the current year.

Net loss

We incurred a net loss of $5,067,734 and $4,630,994, for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, an increase of $436,740 or 9.4%, primarily due to the provisions raised against IVA(VAT) receivables of $187,157, the increase in Mexican General and administrative expenses discussed above and the increase in other expenses and interest expense, offset by the derivative liability movement in the current year, as discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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

We incurred an accumulated deficit of $18,455,925 through December 31, 2018 and incurred negative cash flow from operations of $1,734,320 and $1,907,581 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. We have spent, and need to continue to spend, substantial amounts in connection with implementing our business strategy, including our planned product development effort and will be required to raise additional funding.

At December 31, 2018, we had cash of $71,294 and a working capital deficit of $3,532,258 (2017: $4,696,183). Although this shows an improvement on the 2017 working capital position, we believe that the current cash balances together with revenue anticipated to be generated from operations will not be sufficient to meet our current working capital needs and as mentioned above, we will seek further funding from either equity issues or further debt funding, should we not be successful, we may have to curtail our operations significantly.

During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company raised $267,491 in notes payable and a further $2,021,867 of short-term convertible debt from the issuance of debt securities, to fund the operations of the business. During 2018, $2,461,705 in convertible loans were exchanged for 4,976,905 shares of common stock.

Subsequent to December 31, 2018 we raised the following additional funds:

●

On March 4, 2019, the Company issued a Convertible Promissory Note in the aggregate principal amount of $96,000 to GS Capital Partners LLC. The note has a maturity date of February 4, 2020 and a coupon of 8% per annum.

●

We have loans payable from related parties and convertible notes payable, all with maturities of less than one year. The loans payable from related parties amounts to $136,790 and our convertible notes payable from related parties has an aggregate principal outstanding of $106,397 and accrued interest thereon as of December 31, 2018 of $22,475, The convertible notes payable to non-related parties amounted to an aggregate principal of $2,165,304, and accrued interest thereon of $125,189 the loans payable to non-related parties amounted to $233,203 as of December 31, 2018. Other than the above we have minimal commitments which include a lease of an office facility with a future commitment of $40,524 in 2019.

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

Critical Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

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

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

Contingencies

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to us, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. Our management assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment.

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

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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

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

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

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

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

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

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable are reported at realizable value, net of allowances for doubtful accounts, which is estimated and recorded in the period the related revenue is recorded. We have a standardized approach to estimate and review the collectability of our receivables based on a number of factors, including the period they have been outstanding. Historical collection and payer reimbursement experience is an integral part of the estimation process related to allowances for doubtful accounts. In addition, we regularly assess the state of our billing operations in order to identify issues, which may impact the collectability of these receivables or reserve estimates. Revisions to the allowance for doubtful accounts estimates are recorded as an adjustment to bad debt expense. Receivables deemed uncollectible are charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts at the time such receivables are written-off. Recoveries of receivables previously written-off are recorded as credits to the allowance for doubtful accounts. There were no recoveries during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

Inventory

We primarily value inventories at the lower of cost or net realizable value on a first-in, first-out basis. We identify and write down our excess and obsolete inventories to net realizable value based on usage forecasts, order volume and inventory aging. With the development of new products, we also rationalize our product offerings and will write-down discontinued product to the lower of cost or net realizable value.

Intangibles

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

License Agreements

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

Amortization

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

Long-Term Assets

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

Revenue Recognition

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

The Company has analyzed its revenue transaction pursuant to ASC 606, Revenue, and it has no material impact as a result of the transition from ASC 605 to 606. The Company’s revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those services. The Company derives its revenues from the sale of its services, as defined below. The Company applies the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its revenue transactions:

	i.	identify the contract with a customer;

	ii.	identify the performance obligations in the contract;

iii.

determine the transaction price;

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

recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied.

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

●

Revenue from the sale of services .

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

●

Payment processing provided to end-users

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

●

Revenue from the sale of kiosks.

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

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

Share-Based Payment Arrangements

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

Prior to our reverse merger which took place on May 12, 2016, all share-based payments were based on management’s estimate of market value of our equity. The factors considered in determining managements estimate of market value includes, assumptions of future revenues, expected cash flows, market acceptability of our technology and the current market conditions. These assumptions are complex and highly subjective, compounded by the business being in its early stage of development in a new market with limited data available.

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

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

Subsequent to our reverse merger which took place on May 12, 2016, we had utilized the market value of our common stock as quoted on the NASDAQ OTCQB, as an indicator of the fair value of our common stock in determining share- based payment arrangements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Qpagos and Subsidiaries

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Qpagos and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ (deficit) equity and cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended December 31, 2018, 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, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended December 31, 2018, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Company's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit, recurring losses, and expects continuing future losses, and has stated that substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's evaluation of the events and conditions and management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 3. 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. 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 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 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, 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 included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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 financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2014.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1	ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Organization

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

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, upon consummation of the Merger, each share of Qpagos Corporation’s capital stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger was converted into the right to receive two shares of QPAGOS common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”). Additionally, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, upon consummation of the Merger, QPAGOS assumed all of Qpagos Corporation’s warrants issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger, which are now exercisable for approximately 6,219,200 shares of Common Stock, respectively, as of the date of the Merger. Prior to and as a condition to the closing of the Merger, the then-current QPAGOS stockholder of 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock agreed to return to QPAGOS 4,975,000 shares of Common Stock held by such holder to QPAGOS and the then-current QPAGOS stockholder retained an aggregate of 25,000 shares of Common Stock and the other stockholders of QPAGOS retained 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock. Therefore, immediately following the Merger, Qpagos Corporation’s former stockholders held 49,929,000 shares of QPAGOS common stock which represented approximately 91% of the outstanding Common Stock.

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

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

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

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

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

Description of the business

QPAGOS Corporation, through its subsidiaries Qpagos and Redpag, provides physical and virtual payment services to the Mexican market. The Company provides an integrated network of kiosks, terminals and payment channels that enable consumers in Mexico to deposit cash, convert it into a digital form and remit the funds to any merchant in our network quickly and securely. The Company helps consumers and merchants connect more efficiently in markets and consumer segments, such as Mexico, that are largely cash-based and lack convenient alternatives for consumers to pay for goods and services in physical, online and mobile environments. For example, our licensed technology can be used to pay bills, add minutes to mobile phones, purchase transportation and tickets, shop online or at a retail store, buy digital services or send money to a friend or relative.

2	ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).

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

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

2	ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES (continued)

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary in which it has a majority voting interest. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. The entities included in these consolidated financial statements are as follows:

QPAGOS – Parent Company

Qpagos Corporation – 100% owned

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

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

Mexican Operations

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

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

Use of Estimates

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

2	ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES (continued)

Contingencies

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

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

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

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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

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

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

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company’s operations will be subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial, operational, regulatory and other risks associated, including the potential risk of business failure. The recent global economic crisis has caused a general tightening in the credit markets, lower levels of liquidity, increases in the rates of default and bankruptcy, and extreme volatility in credit, equity and fixed income markets. These conditions not only limit the Company’s access to capital, but also make it difficult for its customers, vendors and the Company to accurately forecast and plan future business activities.

The Company’s operations are carried out in Mexico. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environment in Mexico and by the general state of that economy. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”), No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (ASC 842)

The amendments in this update establishes a comprehensive new lease accounting model. The new standard: (a) clarifies the definition of a lease; (b) requires a dual approach to lease classification similar to current lease classifications; and (c) causes lessees to recognize leases on the balance sheet as a lease liability with a corresponding right-of-use asset for leases with a lease-term of more than twelve months. The new standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, including a number of optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, an update which provides another transition method, the prospective transition method, which allows entities to initially apply the new lease standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The Company will adopt the new standard on January 1, 2019 using the prospective transition method. In preparation for adoption of the standard.

The Company has identified all leases and reviewed the leases to determine the impact of ASC 842 on its consolidated financial statements. The Company has elected to apply all of the practical expedients to its leases, which include not reassessing (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (3) initial direct costs for any existing leases, and (4) not separating the components of leases into lease and non-lease components. Based on the Company’s assessment, the Company has concluded that the adoption of the new standard will result in the recording of a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the consolidated balance sheet on January 1, 2019. While substantially complete, the Company is still in the process of finalizing its evaluation of the effect of ASC 842 on its financial statements and disclosures. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-02, as amended, to have a material impact on its consolidated statements of operations or consolidated statements of cash flows.

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

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

The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the amendments in this Update is permitted, including adoption in any interim period. The amendments in this Update should be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period (or periods) in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is recognized.

This ASU was applied retrospectively to the consolidated financial statements and resulted in a reduction in the tax effect of net operating losses carried forward.

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

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

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

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

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

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

The amendment clarifies that the prospective transition approach for equity securities without a readily determinable fair value in the amendments in Update 2016-01 is meant only for instances in which the measurement alternative is applied. An insurance entity subject to the guidance in Topic 944, Financial Services—Insurance, should apply a prospective transition method for Correction or Improvement Summary of Amendments when applying the amendments related to equity securities without readily determinable fair values. An insurance entity should apply the selected prospective transition method consistently to the entity’s entire population of equity securities for which the measurement alternative is elected.

The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2018. All entities may early adopt these amendments for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, as long as they have adopted Update 2016-01.

The amendments in this update are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting.

The amendments in this Update expand the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. An entity should apply the requirements of Topic 718 to nonemployee awards except for specific guidance on inputs to an option pricing model and the attribution of cost (that is, the period of time over which share-based payment awards vest and the pattern of cost recognition over that period). The amendments specify that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The amendments also clarify that Topic 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (1) financing to the issuer or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than an entity’s adoption date of Topic 606.

The impact of this ASU on the consolidated financial statements is not expected to be material.

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842) Targeted Improvements.

The amendments in this Update provide entities with an additional (and optional) transition method to adopt the new leases standard. Under this new transition method, an entity initially applies the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognizes a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption consistent with preparers’ requests.

The amendments in this Update provide lessors with a practical expedient, by class of underlying asset, to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease component and, instead, to account for those components as a single component if the non-lease components otherwise would be accounted for under the new revenue guidance (Topic 606) and both of the following are met: 1. The timing and pattern of transfer of the non-lease component(s) and associated lease component are the same. 2. The lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease.

The amendments in this Update related to separating components of a contract affect the amendments in Update 2016-02, which are not yet effective but can be early adopted.

The Company is currently considering the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.

The amendments in this Update modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement.

Removals

The following disclosure requirements were removed from Topic 820:

	1.	The amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy
	2.	The policy for timing of transfers between levels
	3.	The valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements
	4.	For nonpublic entities, the changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in earnings for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period.

Modifications

The following disclosure requirements were modified in Topic 820:

	1.	In lieu of a rollforward for Level 3 fair value measurements, a nonpublic entity is required to disclose transfers into and out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and purchases and issues of Level 3 assets and liabilities.
	2.	For investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value, an entity is required to disclose the timing of liquidation of an investee’s assets and the date when restrictions from redemption might lapse only if the investee has communicated the timing to the entity or announced the timing publicly.
	3.	The amendments clarify that the measurement uncertainty disclosure is to communicate information about the uncertainty in measurement as of the reporting date.

Additions

The following disclosure requirements were added to Topic 820:

	1.	The changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period
	2.	The range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. For certain unobservable inputs, an entity may disclose other quantitative information (such as the median or arithmetic average) in lieu of the weighted average if the entity determines that other quantitative information would be a more reasonable and rational method to reflect the distribution of unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements.

In addition, the amendments clarify that materiality is an appropriate consideration of entities and their auditors when evaluating disclosure requirements.

The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. Early adoption is permitted upon issuance of this Update. An entity is permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of this Update and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date.

The impact of this ASU on the consolidated financial statements is not expected to be material.

In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-18, Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808) Clarifying the Interaction between Topic 808 and Topic 606.

A collaborative arrangement, as defined by the guidance in Topic 808, is a contractual arrangement under which two or more parties actively participate in a joint operating activity and are exposed to significant risks and rewards that depend on the activity’s commercial success. Topic 808 does not provide comprehensive recognition or measurement guidance for collaborative arrangements, and the accounting for those arrangements is often based on an analogy to other accounting literature or an accounting policy election.

The amendments in this Update provide guidance on whether certain transactions between collaborative arrangement participants should be accounted for with revenue under Topic 606. The amendments in this Update make targeted improvements to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for collaborative arrangements as follows:

	1.	Clarify that certain transactions between collaborative arrangement participants should be accounted for as revenue under Topic 606 when the collaborative arrangement participant is a customer in the context of a unit of account. In those situations, all the guidance in Topic 606 should be applied, including recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure requirements.
	2.	Add unit-of-account guidance in Topic 808 to align with the guidance in Topic 606 (that is, a distinct good or service) when an entity is assessing whether the collaborative arrangement or a part of the arrangement is within the scope of Topic 606
	3.	Require that in a transaction with a collaborative arrangement participant that is not directly related to sales to third parties, presenting the transaction together with revenue recognized under Topic 606 is precluded if the collaborative arrangement participant is not a customer.

For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period. An entity may not adopt the amendments earlier than its adoption date of Topic 606. The amendments in this Update should be applied retrospectively to the date of initial application of Topic 606. An entity should recognize the cumulative effect of initially applying the amendments as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings of the later of the earliest annual period presented and the annual period that includes the date of the entity’s initial application of Topic 606. An entity may elect to apply the amendments in this Update retrospectively either to all contracts or only to contracts that are not completed at the date of initial application of Topic 606. An entity should disclose its election.

The impact of this ASU on the consolidated financial statements is not expected to be material.

Any new accounting standards, not disclosed above, that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption.

Reporting by Segment

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

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, the Company had no cash equivalents.

The Company minimizes credit risk associated with cash by periodically evaluating the credit quality of its primary financial institution in the United States. The balance at times may exceed federally insured limits. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, the balance did not exceed the federally insured limit.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable are reported at realizable value, net of allowances for doubtful accounts, which is estimated and recorded in the period the related revenue is recorded. The Company has a standardized approach to estimate and review the collectability of its receivables based on a number of factors, including the period they have been outstanding. Historical collection and payer reimbursement experience is an integral part of the estimation process related to allowances for doubtful accounts. In addition, the Company regularly assesses the state of its billing operations in order to identify issues, which may impact the collectability of these receivables or reserve estimates. Revisions to the allowance for doubtful accounts estimates are recorded as an adjustment to bad debt expense. Receivables deemed uncollectible are charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts at the time such receivables are written-off. Recoveries of receivables previously written-off are recorded as credits to the allowance for doubtful accounts. There were no recoveries during the period ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

Cost Method Investments

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

Inventory

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

Advances received from customers

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

Plant and Equipment

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

Description		Estimated Useful Life

Kiosks		7 years

Computer equipment		3 years

Leasehold improvements		Lesser of estimated useful life or life of lease

Office equipment		10 years

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

Intangibles

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

License Agreements

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

ii)

Amortization

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

Share-Based Payment Arrangements

Prior to the Company’s reverse merger which took place on May 12, 2016, all share-based payments were based on management’s estimate of market value of the Company’s equity. The factors considered in determining managements estimate of market value includes, assumptions of future revenues, expected cash flows, market acceptability of our technology and the current market conditions. These assumptions are complex and highly subjective, compounded by the business being in its early stage of development in a new market with limited data available.

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

Subsequent to the Company’s reverse merger which took place on May 12, 2016, the Company has utilized the market value of its common stock as quoted on the OTCQB, as an indicator of the fair value of its common stock in determining share- based payment arrangements.

Derivative Liabilities

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

Income Taxes

The Company’s primary operations are based in Mexico and currently enacted tax laws in Mexico are used in the calculation of income taxes, the holding company is based in the US and currently enacted US tax laws are used in the calculation of income taxes.

Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A full valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized. It is the Company’s policy to classify interest and penalties on income taxes as interest expense or penalties expense. As of December 31, 2018, and 2017, there have been no interest or penalties incurred on income taxes.

Comprehensive income

Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a company during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances excluding transactions resulting from investments from owners and distributions to owners. For the Company, comprehensive income for the periods presented includes translation adjustment and net loss.

Reclassification of prior year presentation

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.

3	GOING CONCERN

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has incurred a loss since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $18,455,925 as of December 31, 2018 and has not generated sufficient revenue to cover its operating expenditure, raising substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In addition to operational expenses, as the Company executes its business plan, additional capital resources will be required. The Company will need to raise capital in the near term in order to continue operating and executing its business plan. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company generating profitable operations in the future and/or obtaining the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. The Company’s plan is to expand its market penetration by deploying more kiosks through various channels, thereby increasing revenues, in addition, the Company intends to raise additional equity or loan funds to meet its short-term working capital needs. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern for at least the next twelve months from the date the financial statements were issued.

The plan terminates after a period of ten years in June 2028.

The Plan is administered by the Board of Directors or a Committee appointed by the Board of Directors who have the authority to administer the Plan and to exercise all the powers and authorities either specifically granted to it under the Plan.

The maximum number of securities available under the plan is 8,000,000 shares of common stock. The maximum number of shares of common stock awarded to any individual during any fiscal year may not exceed 1,000,000 shares of common stock.

On June 29, 2018, the Company granted a director 120,000 shares of restricted common stock in terms of the Stock Incentive Plan. These shares were valued at $49,200 on the date of grant and were vested immediately.

Risk-free interest rate		2.77	%
Expected life of warrants (in years)		10
Expected volatility of the underlying stock		174.91	%

The risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes pricing model is determined by reference to historical U.S. Treasury constant maturity rates with maturities approximate to the life of the options granted. An expected dividend yield of zero is used in the valuation model, because the Company does not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. As of December 31, 2018, the Company does not anticipate any of the options will be forfeited in performing the valuation of the options.

INCOME TAXES

Federal Corporate Income Tax (“CIT”) – Mexico

CIT applies to Mexican resident taxpayers’ income from worldwide sources, as well as to foreign residents on the income attributed to their permanent establishments (“Pes”) located in Mexico. The federal CIT rate is 30%.

All corporate entities, including associations of a civil nature, branches, etc., are subject to the tax rules applicable to Mexican corporations (unless specifically ruled out).

Provisions to recognize the effects of inflation for tax purposes in the areas of monetary assets and liabilities (annual monetary adjustment) and depreciable assets are provided in the Mexican Income Tax Law, even though recent inflation rates have been stable at low levels

Federal Income Tax – United States

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the TCJA), which significantly modified U.S. corporate income tax law, was signed into law by President Trump. The TCJA contains significant changes to corporate income taxation, including but not limited to the reduction of the corporate income tax rate from a top marginal rate of 35% to a flat rate of 21%, limitation of the tax deduction for interest expense to 30% of earnings (except for certain small businesses), limitation of the deduction for net operating losses to 80% of current year taxable income and generally eliminating net operating loss carrybacks, allowing net operating losses to carryforward without expiration, one-time taxation of offshore earnings at reduced rates regardless of whether they are repatriated, elimination of U.S. tax on foreign earnings (subject to certain important exceptions), immediate deductions for certain new investments instead of deductions for depreciation expense over time, and modifying or repealing many business deductions and credits (including changes to the orphan drug tax credit and changes to the deductibility of research and experimental expenditures that will be effective in the future). Notwithstanding the reduction in the corporate income tax rate, the overall impact of the new federal tax law is uncertain, including to what extent various states will conform to the newly enacted federal tax law.

Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A full valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized. It is the Company’s policy to classify interest and penalties on income taxes as interest expense or penalties expense. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, there have been no interest or penalties incurred on income taxes.

The Company has not recorded the necessary provisional adjustments in the financial statements in accordance with its current understanding of the TCJA and guidance currently available as of this filing. But management is reviewing the TCJA’s potential ramifications. Noting, The Company determined that it had no liability as of December 31, 2018 for the one-time transition tax on deemed repatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries imposed by the Act.

The provision for income taxes consists of the following:

In assessing the realizability of deferred income tax assets, management considers whether or not it is more likely than not that some portion or all deferred income tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.

The Company’s ability to utilize the United States Federal operating loss carry-forwards may be subject to an annual limitation if pursuant to IRC Section 382/383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, if a change of ownership has occur. Management has not determined if an ownership change has occurred under IRC Section 382/383, but is evaluating, if such change has occurred. If such change has occurred it is also possible that the loss carryforward could be eliminated.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company has adopted and maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Annual Report on Form 10-K, is collected, recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules of the SEC. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As required under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15, the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. have concluded that due to a lack of segregation of duties that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are ineffective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Interim Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Subject to receipt of additional financing or revenue generated from operations, the Company intends to retain additional individuals to remedy the ineffective controls.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act as a process designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. Management conducted an assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018 based on the framework and criteria established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework 2013 (“COSO”). The COSO framework requires rigid adherence to control principles that require sufficient and adequately trained personnel to operate the control system. The Company has insufficient accounting personnel for it to be able to segregate duties as required by COSO or to maintain all reference material required to ensure Company personnel are properly advised or trained to operate the control system. Based on the assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2018, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was ineffective based on those criteria.

The Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and its internal control processes will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of error or fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that the breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during our quarter ended December 31, 2018 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Item 9B. Other Information

Corporate Governance

Code of Conduct and Ethics

Effective as of May 12, 2016, we adopted a Code of Conduct and Ethics that applies to, among other persons, our president or chief executive officer as well as the individuals performing the functions of our chief financial officer, corporate secretary and controller. As adopted, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics sets forth written standards that are designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:

	●	honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;

	●	full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with, or submit to regulatory agencies, including the SEC;

	●	the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code of Conduct and Ethics to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code of Conduct and Ethics; and

●

accountability for adherence to the Code of Conduct and Ethics.

Our Code of Conduct and Ethics requires, among other things, that all of our personnel be afforded full access to our president or chief executive officer with respect to any matter which may arise relating to the Code of Conduct and Ethics. Further, all of our personnel are to be afforded full access to our Board of Directors if any such matter involves an alleged breach of the Code of Conduct and Ethics by our president or chief executive officer.

In addition, our Code of Conduct and Ethics emphasizes that all employees, and particularly managers and/or supervisors, have a responsibility for maintaining financial integrity within our company, consistent with generally accepted accounting principles, and federal, provincial and state securities laws. Any employee who becomes aware of any incidents involving financial or accounting manipulation or other irregularities, whether by witnessing the incident or being told of it, must report it to his or her immediate supervisor or to our president or chief executive officer. If the incident involves an alleged breach of the Code of Conduct and Ethics by our president or chief executive officer, the incident must be reported to any member of our Board of Directors or use of a confidential and anonymous hotline phone number. Any failure to report such inappropriate or irregular conduct of others is to be treated as a severe disciplinary matter. It is against our company policy to retaliate against any individual who reports in good faith the violation or potential violation of our Code of Conduct and Ethics by another. Our Code of Conduct and Ethics is available, free of charge, to any stockholder upon written request to our Corporate Secretary at QPAGOS, 1900 Glades Road, Suite 265, Boca Raton, Florida 33431. A copy of our Code of Conduct and Ethics can be found at http://ir.qpagos.com/code-of-conduct-and-ethics.

Composition of the Board

In accordance with our Articles of Incorporation, our Board is elected annually as a single class.

Board Committees

We currently do not have a separate Audit Committee, Nominating, Governance Committee or Compensation Committee, however, we intend to create such committees. Our full board currently serves as our Audit Committee. None of our directors, other than James Fuller, is considered an “Audit Committee” financial expert. The Audit Committee will review the results and scope of the audit and other services provided by the independent auditors and review and evaluate the system of internal controls. The Compensation Committee will manage any stock option plan we may establish and review and recommend compensation arrangements for the officers. The Nominating and Governance Committee will assist our Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities and identify, select and evaluate our Board of Directors and committees. No final determination has yet been made as to the memberships of the other committees.

We will reimburse all directors for any expenses incurred in attending directors’ meetings provided that we have the resources to pay these fees. We will provide officers and directors liability insurance.

Leadership Structure

The chairman of our Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer positions are currently the same person, Mr. Pereira. Our Bylaws do not require our Board of Directors to separate the roles of chairman and chief executive officer but provides our Board of Directors with the flexibility to determine whether the two roles should be combined or separated based upon our needs. Our Board of Directors believes the combination of the chairman and the chief executive officer roles is the appropriate structure for our company at this time. Our Board of Directors believes the current leadership structure serves as an aid in the Board of Directors’ oversight of management and it provides us with sound corporate governance practices in the management of our business.

Risk Management

The Board of Directors discharges its responsibilities, and assesses the information provided by our management and the independent auditor, in accordance with its business judgment. Management is responsible for the preparation, presentation, and integrity of the Company’s financial statements, and management is responsible for conducting business in an ethical and risk mitigating manner where decisions are undertaken with a culture of ownership. Our Board of Directors oversees management in their duty to manage the risk of our company and each of our subsidiaries. Our Board of Directors regularly reviews information provided by management as management works to manage risks in the business. Our Board of Directors intends to establish Board Committees to assist the full Board of Directors’ oversight by focusing on risks related to the particular area of concentration of the relevant committee.

Director Independence

Although our Common Stock is not listed on any national securities exchange, for purposes of independence we use the definition of independence applied by The NASDAQ Stock Market. The Board has determined that James Fuller is “independent” in accordance with such definition and that neither Mr. Pereira nor Mr. Novikov are independent.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers, directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10 percent of a registered class of our equity securities, to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our Common Stock. Such officers, directors and persons are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file with the SEC.

Based solely on a review of the copies of such forms that were received by us, or written representations from certain reporting persons that no Forms 5 were required for those persons, we are not aware of any failures to file reports or report transactions in a timely manner during the year ended December 31, 2018.

We have based our calculations of the percentage of beneficial ownership on 114,041,100 shares of our common stock. We have deemed shares of our common stock subject to warrants that are currently exercisable within 60 days of April 5, 2019 to be outstanding and to be beneficially owned by the person holding the warrant or restricted stock unit for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of that person. We did not deem these, however, for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. We have deemed shares of our common stock subject to redemption of convertible notes, where the conversion price is fixed, and any accrued interest thereon as of April 5, 2019 to be outstanding and beneficially owned by the person holding the convertible note for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of only that person and not for any other person.

We have not deemed shares of common stock to be outstanding for variable priced convertible notes for the purposes of calculating beneficial ownership.

The information provided in the table is based on our records, information filed with the SEC, and information provided to us, except where otherwise noted.

Director Independence

Board of Directors

The Board, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, has determined that James Fuller, is our only director that qualifies as an independent director pursuant to Nasdaq Stock Market Rule 5605(a)(2) and applicable SEC rules and regulations. Mr. Pereira and Mr. Novikov currently employed as our and Qpagos Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer, respectively, and therefore would not be considered independent directors.

Potential Conflicts of Interest

Since we did not have an Audit Committee or Compensation Committee comprised of independent directors, the functions that would have been performed by such committees were performed by our directors. Thus, there was an inherent conflict of interest.
