NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(in thousands, except per share data)

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

AppTech Payments Corp. (“AppTech” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, is a Fintech Company headquartered in Carlsbad, California. AppTech utilizes innovative payment processing and digital banking technologies to complement its core merchant services capabilities. The Company’s proprietary software will provide progressive and adaptable products that will be available through a suite of synergistic offerings directly to merchants, banking institutions, and business enterprises.

AppTech has a highly secure digital payments platform that we acquired and are further developing digital banking products to power commerce experiences for clients and their customers. Based upon industry standards for payment and banking protocols, we will offer standalone products and fully integrated solutions that deliver innovative payments, banking, and financial services experiences. Our processing technologies can be taken off-the-shelf or tapped into via our RESTful APIs to build fully branded and customizable experiences while supporting tokenized, multi-channel, and multi-method transactions.

The Company was delisted to the middle tier of the Over-The-Counter Venture Market (“OTCQB”) on May 20, 2025. AppTech trades under the symbol “APCX” and its warrants trade under the symbol “APCXW”.

In June 2023, the Company entered into licensing agreements with InstaCash and PayToMe.co. The licensing arrangement with InstaCash was terminated in December 2024.

The shares related to the 7.5% preferred share equity stake in PayToMe.co have not been issued as of the date of this filing. Additionally, PayToMe.co was a related party to AppTech. A former senior member of the Company sits on PayToMe.co's board of directors and AppTech's former Chief Financial Officer is married to its founder and Chief Executive Officer.

Purchase of Alliance Partners, LLC

On October 13, 2023, the Company entered into a purchase agreement to acquire 100% of Alliance Partners, LLC, a Nevada based software development limited liability company (“Alliance Partners”). As consideration for the purchase, the Company agreed to pay the seller total consideration of $2 million in cash and assume certain short-term and long-term liabilities of Alliance Partners. The primary reason for the Purchase was to acquire Alliance Partners’ intellectual property, personnel, and software platform, which is now AppTech’s platform “FinZeo”.

The Company closed the Purchase on October 26, 2023.

On October 31, 2023, the Company issued 1 million shares of its common stock to an entity owned by the seller. In exchange for the shares, the seller waived, cancelled, and forgave the long-term debt of Alliance Partners.

The remaining outstanding payable related to the original purchase price as of June 30, 2025 is $1,200 thousand, and the payable is secured by substantially all the Company’s assets.

Management’s Plan to Address Going Concern Considerations

The Company has experienced recurring operating losses, primarily due to limited revenues. The Company's current financial conditions and recurring losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

In late 2024, we reorganized senior leadership and initiated actions to reduce indebtedness to improve the current financial condition of the Company. In addition, we are actively pursuing additional funding options and are confident that our revenue streams will begin generating cash, although no assurances can be made.

Management continues to maintain adequate working capital and adhere to prudent financial forecasting.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal, recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024. Although management believes that the disclosures in these unaudited financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and notes related thereto and included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2025. The interim results for the six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025 or for any future interim periods.

Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated unaudited financial statements include the accounts of AppTech, and wholly owned subsidiaries of which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

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

Concentration of Credit Risk

Cash and cash equivalents are maintained at financial institutions and, at times, balances may exceed federally insured limits of $250,000 per institution that pays Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance premiums. The Company has never experienced any losses related to these balances.

The accounts receivable from merchant services are paid by the financial institutions on a monthly basis. As of June 30, 2025, 58% of the accounts receivable balance was generated from two customers. As of December 31, 2024, the top three customers accounted for 88% of total accounts receivable.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, 66% of the Company’s revenue was generated from two customers. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the top three customers represented 82% of total revenues. The loss of a top customer would have a significant impact on the Company's financials.

Revenue Recognition

The Company accounts for revenue under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers.

Merchant Processing Services

The Company provides merchant processing solutions for credit card and ACH transactions. We act as an intermediary between merchants, who initiate transactions and banks that process them. We collect either a flat fee, a fee for each transaction, and or a fee calculated as a percentage of its value, from both credit cards and ACHs. Revenue is recognized when transactions are processed by banks or at month-end based on the processing activity. Payments to channel partners are recorded as cost of revenues.

Intangible Assets and Intellectual Property

Intellectual Property

The Company amortizes intellectual property based on the estimated period over which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are expected to be consumed. Typically, the Company amortizes its intellectual property, including patents and other identifiable intangible assets, on a straight-line basis. The amortization periods generally range from three years to fifteen years, depending on the nature of the asset and its expected useful life.

Capitalized Software Development Cost

The Company capitalizes certain costs related to the development of its digital payment and banking platform, including employee compensation and consulting fees for third-party developers, only when it is probable that the development will result in new or additional functionality. Costs incurred during the preliminary project planning phase and post-implementation phase are expensed as incurred. The capitalized software development costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset.

Goodwill

The Company accounts for goodwill in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”). ASC 350 requires that goodwill and other intangibles with indefinite lives be tested for impairment annually or on an interim basis if events or circumstances indicate that the fair value of an asset has decreased below its carrying value. The Company performs a goodwill impairment test annually.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable.

Research and Development

In accordance with ASC 730, Research and Development (“R&D”) costs are expensed when incurred. R&D costs include costs of acquiring patents and other unproven technologies, contractor fees and other costs associated with the development of our core banking platform, contract and other outside services. Total R&D costs for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were approximately $1,690 thousand and $1,276 thousand, respectively.

Per Share Information

Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year, increased by the potentially dilutive common shares that were outstanding during the year. Dilutive securities include stock options, warrants granted, and convertible preferred stock.

The number of common stock equivalents not included in diluted income per share was 26,560,392 and 10,702,946 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The weighted average number of common stock equivalents is not included in diluted income (loss) per share because the effects are anti-dilutive.


	June 30, 2025		June 30, 2024
Series A preferred stock		1,148		1,148
Warrants		21,031,627		7,489,960
Options		5,527,617		3,211,838
Total		26,560,392		10,702,946

Stock Based Compensation

Stock options are valued using the estimated grant-date fair value method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Fair value is determined based on the Black-Scholes Model using inputs reflecting our estimates of expected volatility, term and future dividends. We recognize forfeitures as they occur. The Company has several consulting agreements that have share-based payment awards based on performance. These agreements typically require the Company to issue common stock to the consultants on a monthly basis. The Company records the fair market value of the common stock issuable at each month end when the performance is complete based upon the closing market price of the Company’s common stock.

Segment Reporting

In accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”), we identify our operating segments according to how our business activities are managed and evaluated. ASC 280 establishes standards for companies to report financial statement information about operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision makers (“CODMs”) in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.

The CODMs have been identified as the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, who reviews the operating results for the Company as a whole to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, management has determined that the Company only has one operating and reportable segment.

When evaluating the Company’s performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation the CODMs review several key metrics, which include the following:

Key metrics used in segment reporting


	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2025		2024

Revenues	$	291	$	76
Total operating expenses	$	2,065	$	2,953


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2025		2024

Revenues	$	508	$	181
Total operating expenses	$	4,810	$	6,079

The key measures of segment profit or loss reviewed by our CODMs are revenue and operating expenses. Revenue is monitored by the CODMs to understand the performance of its verticals. Operating expenses are reviewed and monitored by the CODMs to manage and forecast cash. The CODMs also reviews operating costs to manage, maintain and enforce all contractual agreements to ensure costs are aligned with all agreements and internal budgets.

Recent Developments

Management remains committed to enhancing shareholder value and intends to pursue an uplisting to a national exchange before the end of the fiscal year.

Results of Operations

This section includes a summary of our historical results of operations, followed by detailed comparisons of our results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Revenue

Revenue was approximately $291 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $76 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2024, representing an increase of 283%. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, revenue was approximately $508 thousand and $181 thousand representing an increase of 181%. The increase was principally driven by an increase of our ISO and lending revenue.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue was approximately $107 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $14 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2024, representing an increase of $93. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, cost of revenue was approximately $235 thousand and $25 thousand, representing an increase of $210 thousand. The increase was driven by the revenue share with our ISO partners.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses were approximately $1,155 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $2,320 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2024, representing a decrease of $1,165 thousand. The reduction was mainly driven by lower salaries and professional services.

General and administrative expenses were approximately $3,120 thousand and $4,803 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, representing a decrease of 35%. The decrease was driven by lower professional fees, salaries, and stock based compensation.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses were approximately $910 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $633 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2024, representing an increase of $277 thousand. The increase was due to higher third-party development costs related to maintaining and enhancing the FinZeo platform.

Research and development expenses were approximately $1,690 thousand and $1,276 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase was driven by higher third-party costs related to maintaining and enhancing the platform.

Interest income (expense)

Interest income was approximately $26 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to an expense of $32 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2024, representing an increase of $58 thousand. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, interest expense decreased from $35 thousand to $7 thousand. The change was due to the interest related to the assigned agreement with our banking partners.

Gain on debt extinguishment

Gain on debt extinguishment was approximately $13 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, representing an increase of $13 thousand.

Other income (expenses)

Other expense was $5 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to income of $1 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease of $6 thousand was primarily driven by the interest expense related to the note assumption recorded in April 2025. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to June 30, 2024, other expense increased from $1 thousand to other income of $30 thousand. The biggest driver was the credit balance with the state of Delaware.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Significant estimates include those related to the valuation of goodwill impairment and intangible assets, and equity-based compensation. These estimates are based on historical experience and assumptions believed to be reasonable under current conditions. It’s important to note that actual results could differ from these estimates.

Critical accounting policies are those that we consider the most critical to understanding our financial condition and results of operations. The accounting policies we believe to be most critical to understanding our financial condition and results of operations are discussed below. As of June 30, 2025, there have been no significant changes to our critical accounting estimates nor to our recently issued accounting pronouncements, except as described in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements.

Equity-Based Compensation: We estimate the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires input of subjective assumptions. The model inputs include expected stock price volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rate, and dividend yield. The assumptions about future stock price volatility and the option’s expected term involve significant judgments based on historical data and future expectations. The reported equity-based compensation expense is sensitive to changes in the volatility assumption. An increase in expected volatility could materially impact the amount of compensation expense recognized.

Goodwill Impairment

Goodwill Impairment Testing: The process requires an annual test for impairment of goodwill, and more frequent testing if certain indicators suggest that the goodwill might be impaired. This assessment involves comparing the carrying amount of a reporting unit, including goodwill, to its fair value. Key estimates in determining fair value include: a) Cash Flow Projections: Utilizing the DCF method, management estimates future cash flows based on current performance, business plans, and expected market growth, introducing judgment due to forecasting uncertainties. b) Discount Rate: The discount rate, reflecting the WACC and adjusted for unit-specific risks, is crucial for present value calculations, with changes significantly affecting fair value estimations; c) Long-term Growth Rates: Assumptions on sustainable growth rates impact the terminal value in the DCF model, thus influencing the overall fair value of the reporting unit.

Impairment Loss Calculation: The impairment loss, representing the excess of the carrying amount of goodwill over its implied fair value, is highly sensitive to the estimates and assumptions used in the fair value calculation. Small changes in cash flow projections, discount rates, or long-term growth rates can result in significant adjustments to the impairment loss recognized in the income statement. Given the dynamic nature of business conditions, technological advancements, and market competition, estimates used in goodwill impairment testing may change from one period to another. Management is tasked with regularly reviewing and updating these estimates to reflect the latest available information and market conditions.

Once an impairment loss is recognized, it is not reversible in subsequent periods. This finality places additional importance on the accuracy and reasonableness of the underlying estimates and assumptions.

Management concluded that the fair value of the goodwill recorded as part of the FinZeo acquisition significantly exceeds its carrying amount, and there is no significant risk of goodwill impairment based on current assumptions and market conditions.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Our company evaluates long-lived assets, including capitalized software, for impairment when there are indicators that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. This process involves comparing the carrying amount to the expected future undiscounted cash flows from the asset. If the carrying amount exceeds the expected cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized to reduce the asset’s carrying amount to its fair value.

Indicators of impairment include significant underperformance against projections, market or economic downturns, and technological obsolescence. The fair value is determined using market data or discounted cash flow models. An impairment loss is recorded as an expense immediately.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

As of June 30, 2025, there have been no significant changes to our recently issued accounting pronouncements, except as described in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, that would have been established to facilitate off-balance sheet arrangements (as that term is defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K) or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As such, we are not exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in those types of relationships. We enter into guarantees in the ordinary course of business related to the guarantee of our own performance.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Because we are allowed to comply with the disclosure obligations applicable to a “smaller reporting company,” as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, with respect to this Form 10-Q, we are not required to provide the information required by this item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2025.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Control systems, no matter how well conceived and operated, are designed to provide a reasonable, but not an absolute, level of 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 fraud, if any, have been detected. Because of the inherent limitations in any control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
