viable and ready to board accounts. We operate in the fintech industry and had merchant processing revenue during the periods presented.
Our company has not historically looked to net income (loss) as a performance measure for our executive compensation program. Our net
income (loss) decreased significantly between 2023 and 2022, and the compensation actually paid for both our PEO and non-PEO NEOs also
decreased significantly between 2023 and 2022.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 22.5pt">As shown
in the following graph, the compensation actually paid to Luke D’Angelo and the average amount of compensation actually paid to
our named executive officers as a group (excluding M. D’Angelo) during the periods presented are negatively correlated. We do utilize
several performance measures to align executive compensation with our performance, but those tend not to be financial performance measures,
such as the total shareholder return “TSR”. For example, as described in more detail above in the section “Executive
Compensation – Annual Performance-Based Bonus Opportunity,” part of the compensation our named executive officers are eligible
to receive consists of annual performance-based cash bonuses which are designed to provide appropriate incentives to our executives to
achieve defined annual corporate goals and to reward our executives for individual achievement towards these goals, subject to certain
employment criteria as described above under “—Agreements with our Named Executive Officers.” Additionally, we view
stock options, which are an integral part of our executive compensation program, as related to company performance, although not directly
tied to TSR, because they provide value only if the market price of our common stock increases and if the executive officer continues
in our employment over the vesting period. These stock option awards strongly align our executive officers’ interests with those
of our stockholders by providing a continuing financial incentive to maximize long-term value for our stockholders and by encouraging
our executive officers to continue in our employment for the long term.</p>
