PART I

Item 1. Business

Our Company

RYVYL Inc. (“RYVYL”) is a financial technology company that develops software platforms and tools that are focused on providing global payment acceptance and disbursement capabilities. RYVYL’s strategy is rooted in our mission to transform the global payments landscape through technology-driven, customer-centric, and compliance-focused financial solutions. Our first-generation product, QuickCard, was originally developed to facilitate payment processing for predominantly cash-based businesses in certain niche high-risk business verticals. It was a comprehensive physical and virtual payment card processing management system that offered a cloud-based network interface, merchant management, and point-of-sale (POS) connectivity to facilitate noncash payment methods such as credit cards, debit cards and prepaid gift cards, and to subsequently disburse those funds electronically to merchants upon request. In early 2024, in response to evolving changes in the compliance environment and banking regulations, the Company began transitioning QuickCard to a fully virtual, app-based product. In mid-2024, the Company further transitioned its QuickCard product from a direct offering to a licensing model, whereby partners with more suitable compliance capabilities could license the platform from the Company and offer its payments processing capabilities in the same business verticals the Company previously served directly.

As the global fintech industry continues to evolve, it has become evident that there is a need for a fully integrated platform that can seamlessly support multiple types of offerings on a global scale. We believe our second-generation platform, NEMS Core, provides a compelling solution to fill that product void. As a dual-sided platform, NEMS Core is designed to support both acquiring and disbursement services within a unified infrastructure. This end-to-end platform enables businesses to seamlessly accept payments from customers while efficiently distributing funds to vendors, employees, and partners worldwide. Unlike traditional single-function payment systems that often face limitations in adapting to dynamic market demands, RYVYL’s dual-sided platform offers a flexible, agile, and robust architecture. It streamlines the entire transaction lifecycle, from payment initiation to settlement, providing businesses with a competitive advantage in an increasingly interconnected and digital financial environment.

RYVYL’s comprehensive product suite is designed to create value across the entire financial ecosystem. By combining advanced technology, global reach, and deep regulatory expertise, we empower businesses to manage payments, optimize cash flow, and scale operations efficiently in an increasingly digital world. We believe that our commitment to continuous innovation helps us to remain at the forefront of the global fintech landscape, delivering secure, reliable, and transformative financial solutions that drive growth and create lasting value for our clients and stakeholders.

The Company operates through distinct business segments designed to meet the diverse and evolving needs of global markets. Our business is strategically structured around two primary geographic regions - Europe and North America - each offering complementary product and service portfolios that encompass payment processing, treasury management, acquiring, issuing, and Electronic Money Institution (“EMI”) services. Our business segments are interconnected through shared technology platforms, unified compliance frameworks, and collaborative global partnerships. This integration enables us to capitalize on synergies across regions, optimize resource allocation, and drive innovation that resonates across all markets in which we operate.

Global Expansion

RYVYL’s growth is fueled by our commitment to expanding our presence in both established and emerging markets, with a primary focus on Europe and North America. In Europe, we capitalize on the strength of Ryvyl EU’s EMI license in Bulgaria, complemented by our operational hub in Portugal. This enables us to offer comprehensive EMI services, including global IBAN issuance, foreign exchange (FX) solutions, and payment processing capabilities. Our direct connections to major card networks and the Central Bank of Europe reinforces our ability to scale across the European Union (EU), providing seamless financial services tailored to the unique demands of businesses operating in the region.

In North America, our focus is on expanding treasury management services, Bank Identification Number (BIN) sponsorship for credit card processing, and comprehensive payment solutions such as Automated Clearing House (ACH) and wire transfers. Our strategy also emphasizes enhancing cross-border payment infrastructure, enabling businesses to transact efficiently across more than 200 markets and 140 currencies, thus solidifying RYVYL’s role as a critical connector in the global financial ecosystem. By leveraging third-party sponsorship arrangements alongside our technology, we are positioned to capture growth opportunities in key sectors, including e-commerce, fintech, and B2B payments.

Product Innovation and Diversification

Innovation is the cornerstone of RYVYL’s growth strategy. We continuously evolve our product portfolio to anticipate and meet the dynamic needs of businesses worldwide. Central to this is the enhancement of our dual-sided payment platform, which facilitates both acquiring and disbursement services. This platform is designed to support emerging use cases in acquiring, disbursements, and embedded finance, thereby delivering seamless, end-to-end financial solutions.

Our treasury management services are evolving to include advanced features such as real-time liquidity tracking, dynamic fund allocation, and sophisticated FX risk management tools, providing businesses with greater control and flexibility over their financial operations. We are expanding our card issuing capabilities - encompassing debit, prepaid, and virtual cards - and strengthening our BIN sponsorship programs to support fintech companies, neobanks, and enterprises looking to launch customized card programs on a global scale. Furthermore, by integrating banking-as-a-service (BaaS) capabilities, RYVYL is positioned to power the financial infrastructure for platforms and marketplaces seeking embedded finance solutions.

Operational Efficiency and Scalability

Operational excellence is fundamental to sustaining RYVYL’s growth and profitability. Our strategy is focused on enhancing efficiency through technology, automation, and optimized resource management. By leveraging our advanced ledger technology, we believe that we can ensure real-time transaction processing, data integrity, and the scalability required to handle high transaction volumes with minimal latency.

The implementation of automation across key functions - including compliance, reconciliation, and reporting - enables us to reduce operational costs, improve accuracy, and enhance service delivery. We are also optimizing our global operations by aligning activities across Europe and North America, creating synergies that improve resource utilization, reduce overhead, and accelerate the deployment of new products and services.

Regulatory Excellence and Risk Management

Compliance is more than a regulatory requirement for RYVYL; it is a strategic advantage. Our regulatory strategy is designed to ensure resilience amid the complexities of global financial regulations. We maintain rigorous compliance with international standards, including anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorist financing (CTF) regulations under the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) in the United States and EU directives, alongside data protection frameworks such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and security standards like PCI-DSS.

Proactive risk management is integral to our operations. We invest in real-time risk monitoring, advanced fraud detection systems, and comprehensive cybersecurity protocols to mitigate financial, operational, and regulatory risks. Our strong relationships with regulatory bodies in both the U.S. and the EU allow us to anticipate changes in the regulatory landscape, ensuring that we adapt swiftly to maintain uninterrupted service delivery and operational integrity.

Sustainable Growth and Value Creation

RYVYL’s long-term success is anchored in sustainable growth strategies that deliver value to our customers, shareholders, and partners. We are committed to diversifying revenue streams beyond traditional transaction-based income through the expansion of value-added services such as FX trading, treasury advisory, and compliance-as-a-service for fintech partners.

A customer-centric approach underpins our growth strategy. We focus on enhancing client relationships, improving user experiences, and fostering customer loyalty through tailored support models and innovative service offerings. Strategic mergers and acquisitions play a key role in our growth trajectory, allowing us to acquire complementary technologies, expand our customer base, and strengthen our regulatory footprint in critical markets. Our commitment to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles is embedded in also our operations. We prioritize ethical business practices, data privacy, financial inclusion, and environmental responsibility, aligning our corporate values with the expectations of our stakeholders and the broader global community.

Company History 

The Company was formerly known as ASAP Expo, Inc. and was incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 10, 2007. On January 4, 2020, PubCo and PrivCo entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement to memorialize a verbal agreement (the “Verbal Agreement”) entered into on April 12, 2018, by and among PubCo (the buyer) and PrivCo (the seller). On April 12, 2018, pursuant to the Verbal Agreement, the Company acquired PrivCo’s blockchain gateway and payment system business, point of sale system business, delivery business and kiosk business, bank and merchant accounts, as well as all intellectual property related thereto (the “GreenBox Business”). As consideration for the GreenBox Business, on April 12, 2018, the Company assumed PrivCo’s liabilities that had been incurred in the normal course of the GreenBox Business.

On May 3, 2018, the Company formally changed its name to “GreenBox POS, LLC,” then subsequently changed its name to “GreenBox POS” on December 13, 2018. On October 13, 2022, GreenBox POS changed its name to “RYVYL Inc.”

Industry Diversification

RYVYL’s strategic approach to industry diversification is a core component of our growth and risk management framework. By targeting a broad spectrum of industries- - from traditional sectors like retail and financial services to high-growth areas such as e-commerce, technology, and digital marketplaces- - we effectively minimize our reliance on any single market segment. This diversified focus not only reduces our exposure to sector-specific risks but also positions RYVYL to capitalize on emerging opportunities across the global economy.

Our diversification strategy is designed to enhance resilience, optimize revenue streams, and drive sustainable growth. By engaging with a wide range of industries, we mitigate the potential impacts of economic fluctuations, regulatory shifts, and changes in consumer behavior that may disproportionately affect individual sectors. This proactive approach ensures that our business remains agile, adaptable, and well-insulated from market volatility.

Minimizing Market Dependency

At the heart of RYVYL’s industry diversification strategy is a deliberate effort to avoid over-reliance on any single sector. We recognize that industries can be subject to cyclical downturns, disruptive innovations, and regulatory changes that can significantly impact financial performance. By distributing our operations across multiple industries, we reduce the risk of revenue concentration and create a more balanced, stable business model.

This strategy enables us to maintain strong financial performance even when specific markets face challenges. For example, while economic slowdowns may affect sectors like hospitality or travel, growth in areas such as e-commerce, healthcare, or fintech can offset these impacts, ensuring continuity in revenue generation and operational stability.

Expanding Market Reach and Customer Base

RYVYL’s diversified industry focus also expands our market reach and customer base. By serving clients across various sectors - including retail, e-commerce, financial services, logistics, healthcare, and more - we gain exposure to a wide range of consumer needs, business models, and operational requirements. This broad engagement allows us to tailor our products and services to meet diverse demands, enhancing our value proposition and competitiveness in the global marketplace.

11

Our ability to adapt to different industry environments not only strengthens client relationships but also opens doors to new business opportunities. Whether supporting large enterprises, small businesses, or digital startups, RYVYL’s flexible solutions are designed to deliver value across a wide array of industries, fostering long-term customer loyalty and market relevance.

Multiple Revenue Streams for Sustainable Growth

Industry diversification plays a critical role in generating multiple revenue streams for RYVYL. By tapping into various sectors, we create a dynamic business model that supports consistent growth and profitability. This multifaceted approach enables us to leverage different revenue drivers, from transaction fees in payment processing to subscription-based income from financial management solutions.

Our diversified portfolio also facilitates cross-selling and upselling opportunities, as businesses operating in different industries often require complementary financial products and services. This integrated strategy not only enhances revenue potential but also strengthens our competitive positioning in the fintech landscape.

Global Market Presence

RYVYL’s strategic focus on Europe and North America positions the company to effectively tap into two of the largest and most technologically advanced markets in the world. By concentrating its efforts in these regions, RYVYL is not only able to access a vast customer base but also to engage with cutting-edge technologies and innovations that are shaping the future of various industries. This geographical diversification mitigates the risks associated with potential market-specific economic downturns, which can significantly impact businesses that are overly reliant on a single region. Additionally, by operating in both Europe and North America, RYVYL can take full advantage of the high transaction volumes that are prevalent in these markets. The robust economic activity and consumer spending in these regions enhance the company’s revenue potential, allowing it to capitalize on a wide array of business opportunities. This strategic positioning enables RYVYL to not only withstand fluctuations in individual markets but also to thrive by leveraging the strengths and opportunities presented by each region. Ultimately, this approach fosters a more resilient business model that is well-equipped to navigate the complexities of the global marketplace while maximizing growth and profitability.

The regulatory landscape is continuously evolving, driven by legislative updates, regulatory reforms, and shifts in global compliance expectations. These changes influence how we structure, deliver, and expand our services worldwide.

Our proactive approach to regulatory compliance ensures that we not only meet current legal requirements but are also well-prepared to adapt to emerging regulatory developments. We closely monitor changes in laws and regulations across all jurisdictions where we operate, enabling us to design secure, compliant, and customer-centric solutions that support our global growth strategy. Recognizing that regulatory shifts, enforcement actions, or heightened scrutiny can impact our business operations and financial performance, we prioritize robust governance frameworks to safeguard our business continuity.

Payments Regulation

RYVYL’s payment services are governed by comprehensive regulatory frameworks in both the United States and the European Union, reflecting the complexity of the global payments ecosystem.

In the United States, we offer a broad range of payment solutions, including credit card processing through BIN sponsorship, ACH transactions, wire transfers, and treasury management services. These services are delivered in collaboration with regulated financial institutions under third-party sponsorship arrangements. This model subjects us to indirect oversight by key regulatory bodies, notably FinCEN, which plays a pivotal role in ensuring compliance with AML and CTF regulations, as well as broader financial crime prevention mandates.

In the European Union, RYVYL EU operates under an EMI license issued in Bulgaria, with additional operations in Portugal. This license authorizes us to issue global IBANs, provide FX services, and deliver acquiring and card issuing solutions. Our activities are regulated under the Payment Services Directive (PSD2) and supervised by the Bulgarian National Bank alongside other relevant EU financial authorities. The regulatory frameworks in both regions impose stringent requirements related to capital adequacy, anti-fraud measures, data security, and transaction monitoring, ensuring the resilience and integrity of our payment infrastructure.

Financial Services Supervision

RYVYL’s operations are subject to both direct and indirect regulatory supervision, reflecting the breadth of our services and the diverse jurisdictions in which we operate.

In Europe, we are directly regulated as an EMI, with obligations encompassing capital requirements, safeguarding client funds, corporate governance, and risk management. This direct oversight ensures that we maintain high standards of financial stability, operational transparency, and customer protection.

In North America, while RYVYL does not operate as a licensed money transmitter, our activities are conducted through third-party sponsorship relationships. These partnerships require strict adherence to the compliance standards of our sponsoring financial institutions, subjecting us to indirect regulatory oversight. This dual-layered supervision framework, combining direct regulatory engagement and indirect compliance obligations, reinforces our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of regulatory integrity across all markets.

AML and CTF Regulations

RYVYL is dedicated to combating financial crime through comprehensive AML and CTF programs designed to align with global regulatory expectations. Our compliance framework adheres to key international standards, including the U.S. Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), which is overseen by FinCEN, the EU’s Anti-Money Laundering Directives (AMLD), and guidelines issued by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF).

Our AML/CTF framework is built on robust policies and procedures that include customer due diligence (CDD) and know-your-customer (KYC) protocols, advanced transaction monitoring systems to detect and prevent suspicious activities, and rigorous sanctions screening aligned with the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) requirements and EU regulations. Ongoing training and development for our employees ensure that compliance remains embedded in our corporate culture, enabling us to proactively manage financial crime risks across all areas of our business. 

Data Protection and Privacy

As a global fintech provider, RYVYL handles sensitive personal and financial data, making data protection and privacy critical components of our regulatory compliance strategy. We operate under stringent data privacy laws in both the EU and the United States.

In the EU, we comply with GDPR, which sets rigorous standards for data collection, processing, and transfer. GDPR mandates strict requirements around data security, breach notification, and the lawful basis for data processing, ensuring that we uphold the privacy rights of individuals across the EU.

In the United States, RYVYL adheres to federal and state-level privacy regulations, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and other emerging data protection laws. Our global data governance framework encompasses encryption protocols, cross-border data transfer mechanisms, and incident response plans designed to safeguard data integrity and mitigate potential security risks.

Cybersecurity Compliance

Our cybersecurity measures include regular penetration testing, vulnerability assessments, and advanced threat detection systems to identify and address potential risks proactively. Incident response protocols are in place to ensure swift and effective management of security breaches, minimizing potential impacts on our operations and customers. In addition, we comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS), which governs the secure handling of cardholder data in payment processing environments.

Consumer Protection and Financial Conduct Regulations

RYVYL is committed to safeguarding consumer interests through strict adherence to financial conduct and consumer protection regulations. We ensure transparency in our fee structures, maintain fair lending practices where applicable, and provide clear dispute resolution mechanisms to address customer concerns effectively.

In the United States, our operations are subject to oversight by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), which regulates consumer financial products and services. In the EU, we comply with directives under the EU Consumer Rights Directive and PSD2, which mandate strong customer authentication (SCA) protocols and secure online payment standards. Our consumer protection strategy is designed to foster trust, promote transparency, and enhance the overall customer experience across all markets.

Sanctions and Anti-Corruption Compliance

RYVYL maintains a robust sanctions and anti-corruption compliance framework, ensuring full adherence to global regulatory standards. We comply with sanctions programs administered by the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), the EU’s restrictive measures, the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), and the U.K. Bribery Act.

Our compliance measures include comprehensive sanctions screening for all transactions and customer onboarding processes, rigorous anti-bribery policies, and regular employee training on ethical business practices. Additionally, we implement third-party risk management protocols to prevent corruption and ensure that our business relationships align with our ethical standards and regulatory obligations.

Emerging Regulatory Developments

RYVYL continuously monitors regulatory developments that may impact our operations, including:

● Emerging Payment Technologies: We stay ahead of regulatory changes related to digital wallets, tokenization, and evolving payment models, ensuring that our services remain compliant with new industry standards.

● Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Reporting: We align with global sustainability regulations, such as the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), reflecting our commitment to responsible business practices.

● Interchange Fee Regulations: We comply with the EU’s Multilateral Interchange Fee Regulation (MIFR) and U.S. regulations affecting credit and debit card processing fees, ensuring transparency and fairness in our pricing structures.

Recent Developments

Product Transition and Loss of Revenues in North America Segment

In February 2024, the Company transitioned its QuickCard product in North America away from terminal-based to app-based processing. This transition was driven by a change in our banking partner that was prompted by recent changes in the compliance environment and banking regulations impacting certain niche high-risk business verticals, which were the predominant revenue driver for QuickCard.

15

Management planned to recover the loss of revenues resulting from this product transition through the acceleration of business development efforts to launch the new app-based product in existing and new business verticals. However, due to continuous changes in the regulatory environment and our previous banking relationships, during the second quarter of 2024, management determined that the app-based product may not be a viable long-term solution for certain niche high-risk business verticals and made the decision to terminate the rollout of the app-based product in those specific business verticals. To address this change, during the third quarter of 2024, the Company introduced a licensing product for its payments processing platform, which it believes will enable it to serve the same customer base in such verticals through a business partner with more suitable banking compliance capabilities. Revenues from the new licensing product are not expected to materialize until late 2025. Due of this strategy shift as well as a reorganization of the Company’s business to better align with management’s revised strategy, which was executed during the second quarter of 2024, the recovery of the loss of revenues resulting from this product transition is now not expected to occur until late 2025.

The decline in revenues resulting from this product transition has adversely impacted the Company’s liquidity in its North America segment in the short term. As a result, management has determined that its cash in the North America segment as of December 31, 2024, will not be sufficient to fund the segment’s operations and capital needs for the next 12 months from the date of this Report. Management’s intended plan over the next twelve months to address the liquidity shortfall in the North America segment includes, but is not limited to, the following:

● continued execution of its accelerated business development efforts to drive volumes in diversified business verticals with the Company’s other products, including the recently launched licensing of the Company’s payments processing platform in certain niche high-risk business verticals;

● continued implementation of cost control measures to more effectively manage spending in the North America segment and right-sizing the organization, where appropriate;

● the sale of noncore assets;

● continued repatriation of offshore profits from the Company’s European subsidiaries, whose continued accelerated growth and generation of positive cash flow have already provided, and will continue to provide, an immediate and viable short-term source of capital during this product transition (to date, the Company has repatriated approximately $17.6 million from Europe); and

● raising capital through a variety of means, including private and public equity offerings and debt financings.

Management has assessed that its intended plan described above, if successfully implemented, is appropriate and sufficient to address the liquidity shortfall in its North America segment and to provide funds to cover operations for the next 12 months from the date of the issuance of this Report. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in implementing our plan, that our projections of our future capital needs will prove accurate, or that any additional funding will be sufficient to continue our operations in the North America segment.

Preferred Stock Repurchase and Note Repayment Agreement

On January 23, 2025, the Company entered into a Preferred Stock Repurchase and Note Repayment Agreement (the “Repurchase Agreement”) with a securityholder of the Company (the “Securityholder”), which provides for repayment of the outstanding balance of an 8% Senior Convertible Note issued to the Securityholder on November 8, 2021 (the “Note”), which Note was originally due on November 5, 2023, and which maturity date was extended through April 5, 2026, pursuant to subsequent extensions provided by the Securityholder. Additionally, pursuant to two Exchange Agreements between the Company and the Securityholder entered into on July 25, 2023, and November 27, 2023, respectively, a portion of the outstanding balance of the Note was exchanged for 55,000 shares of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series B Preferred Shares”).

Pursuant to terms of the Repurchase Agreement, in consideration for an aggregate payment of $17,000,000 by the Company to the Securityholder (the “Repurchase Price”), (i) the entire outstanding principal balance of the Note, including all accrued and unpaid interest, shall be deemed to have been paid and (ii) all outstanding Series B Preferred Shares held by the Securityholder will be repurchased by the Company.

16

The Repurchase Agreement provides for the payment of the Repurchase Price in two installments, the first in the amount of $13 million (the “First Installment”), which was paid on January 27, 2025. The second installment, in the amount of $4 million (the “Second Installment”), is due and payable on or before April 30, 2025 (the “Second Installment Date”), and the maturity date of the Note is advanced to such date. Upon the payment of the First Installment, all Series B Preferred Shares held by the Securityholder were repurchased.

The Repurchase Agreement further provides that, during the period from the payment of the First Installment until the Second Installment Date, no interest will accrue on the remaining balance of the Note and certain restrictive covenants under the Note will be temporarily waived. If the Company fails to make the Second Installment on or before the Second Installment Date, then interest will continue to accrue again on the outstanding balance of the Note and all other terms of the Note will also be restored as they were prior to the date the First Installment was paid.

Stock Purchase Agreement and Financing

On January 23, 2025, in connection with the Company’s securing financing (the “Financing”), the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “SPA”) with a purchaser (the “Purchaser”), which provides for the sale to the Purchaser of all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock (the “Ryvyl EU Shares”) of the Company’s indirect subsidiary domiciled in Bulgaria, Ryvyl (EU) EAD (“Ryvyl EU”), by Transact Europe Holdings EOOD, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, also domiciled in Bulgaria (“Transact Europe”) for an aggregate purchase price of $15,000,000 (the “Financing Purchase Price”). Under the terms of the SPA, the Company was required to use $13 million of the net proceeds raised in the Financing to pay the First Installment of the Repurchase Price.

On January 23, 2025, the Company, Transact Europe and the Purchaser also entered into a Termination Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”). Among other things, the Termination Agreement provides the Company with the right to terminate the SPA and all of the transactions contemplated therein, by paying the Purchaser $16.5 million on or before 90 days after the date of execution of the SPA (April 23, 2025), provided that such date may be extended an additional 30 days (May 23, 2025) in consideration for the Company’s payment of $500,000 to the Purchaser. If the SPA is terminated as a result of such payment by the Company, the Ryvyl EU Shares will not be sold to the Purchaser and will be returned to Transact Europe and the SPA will be void and of no further effect, except for some provisions that survive termination. In the event that the SPA is not so terminated, then the Purchaser will close on its purchase of the Ryvyl EU Shares; provided, however, if the Purchaser is unable to close for any reason other than the Company’s breach, including the inability to obtain any regulatory clearances required for such transfer, then the Company is liable for damages in the amount of $16.5 million. In the event that the Purchaser is unable to close on the transfer of the Ryvyl EU Shares, as a result of the Company’s breach, then the Company is liable for damages in an amount equal to the appraised value of the Ryvyl EU Shares.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The following describes material risks, uncertainties, and other factors that could have a material effect on us and our operations. The risks described below may not be the only risks we face, as our business and operations may also be subject to risks that we do not yet know of, or that we currently believe are immaterial. If any of the events or circumstances described below actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flow could be materially and adversely affected and the trading price of our common stock could decline. The following risk factors should be read in conjunction with the other information contained herein, including the financial statements and the related notes. An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk.

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

Our financial situation creates doubt whether we will continue as a going concern.

As described in the Notes to the Financial Statements for the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company has a substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. For the year ended December 31, 2024, we had a net loss of $26.8 million, and as of December 31, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $179.4 million. There can be no assurances that we will be able to achieve a level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations or additional financing through private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing necessary to support our working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated from any private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing are insufficient, we will need to raise additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, that we will be able to secure any such financing on acceptable terms. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If adequate working capital is not available, we may be forced to discontinue operations, which would cause investors to lose their entire investment.

We have entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement to sell a material subsidiary, which represents a substantial portion of our current business. Additionally, we may be required to pay significant liquidated damages if the prospective purchaser is unable to close the acquisition.

As described elsewhere in this Report, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with a prospective purchaser, which provides for the sale to such prospective purchaser of all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of our indirect subsidiary, Ryvyl EU (the “Ryvyl EU Shares”), which represents a materially significant portion of the Company’s current business and substantially all the business classified under the Company’s International reporting segment as described in the Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. We also entered into a Termination Agreement with such prospective purchaser, providing us with the right to terminate the Securities Purchase Agreement and such prospective purchaser’s right to purchaser our Ryvyl EU business, if we pay such prospective purchaser $16.5 million on or before April 23, 2025 (or as may be extended an additional 30 days until May 23, 2025 in consideration for our payment of $500,000 to such prospective purchaser). In the event that we are unable to terminate the sale of our Ryvyl EU business, the prospective purchaser would be able to acquire our Ryvyl EU business, which represents a substantial percentage of our current business. The loss of such business would have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition and would likely result in the termination of our business.

Additionally, if the prospective purchaser is unable to acquire the Ryvyl EU Shares for any reason other than our breach, including the inability to obtain any regulatory clearances required for such transfer from the applicable Bulgarian governmental authorities, then we are required to pay such prospective purchaser liquidated damages in the amount of $16.5 million. In the event that the prospective purchaser is unable to acquire the Ryvyl EU Shares, as a result of our breach, then we are required to pay the prospective purchaser liquidated damages in an amount equal to the appraised value of the Ryvyl EU Shares. Our payment of either of such liquidated damages amounts to the prospective purchaser would have a material adverse impact on our business and financial condition and, in the event of our obligation to pay $16.5 million, would likely result in the termination of our business, and in the event of our obligation to pay the appraised value of the Ryvyl EU Shares, would definitely result in the termination of our business.

18

The loss of key personnel or the inability of replacements to quickly and successfully perform in their new roles could adversely affect our business.

We depend on the leadership and experience of our relatively small number of key executive management personnel, particularly our Chairman of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) and Executive Vice President, Ben Errez, our Director and Chief Executive Officer, Fredi Nisan, and our Chief Financial Officer, George Oliva. The loss of the services of any of our key executives or any of our executive management members could have a material adverse effect on our business and prospects, as we may not be able to find suitable individuals to replace such personnel on a timely basis or without incurring increased costs, or at all. Furthermore, if we lose or terminate the services of one or more of our key employees or if one or more of our current or former executives or key employees joins a competitor or otherwise competes with us, it could impair our business and our ability to successfully implement our business plan. Additionally, if we are unable to hire qualified replacements for our executive and other key positions in a timely fashion, our ability to execute our business plan would be harmed. Even if we can quickly hire qualified replacements, we would expect to experience operational disruptions and inefficiencies during any transition. We believe that our future success will depend on our continued ability to attract and retain highly skilled and qualified personnel. There is a high level of competition for experienced, successful personnel in our industry. Our inability to meet our executive staffing requirements in the future could impair our growth and harm our business.

Our executive officers, directors, and principal shareholders maintain the ability to control substantially all matters submitted to shareholders for approval.

As of March 24, 2025, our executive officers, directors, and shareholders who owned more than 5% of our outstanding Common Stock, in the aggregate, beneficially owned 2,307,471 shares of Common Stock representing approximately 27% of our outstanding capital stock. As a result, if these shareholders were to choose to act together, they would be able to control substantially all matters submitted to our shareholders for approval, as well as our management and affairs. For example, these persons, if they choose to act together, would control the election of directors and approval of any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. This concentration of voting power could delay or prevent an acquisition of us on terms that other shareholders may desire.

Low demand for new products and the inability to develop and introduce new products at favorable margins could adversely impact our performance and prospects for future growth.

Our competitive advantage is due in part to our ability to develop and introduce new products in a timely manner at favorable margins. The uncertainties associated with developing and introducing new products, such as market demand and costs of development and production, may impede the successful development and introduction of new products on a consistent basis. Introduction of new technology may result in higher costs to us than that of the technology replaced. That increase in costs, which may continue indefinitely or until increased demand and greater availability in the sources of the new technology drive down its cost, could adversely affect our results of operations. Market acceptance of the new products introduced in recent years and scheduled for introduction in future years may not meet sales expectations due to various factors, such as the failure to accurately predict market demand, end-user preferences, evolving industry standards, or the emergence of new or disruptive technologies. Moreover, the ultimate success and profitability of the new products may depend on our ability to resolve technical and technological challenges in a timely and cost-effective manner. Our investments in productive capacity and commitments to fund advertising and product promotions in connection with these new products could erode profits if those expectations are not met.

A prolonged economic downturn could adversely affect our business.

Uncertain global economic conditions could adversely affect our business. The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted some of our clients as they saw reductions in revenues due to business closures which caused our processing volume to decline. Negative global and national economic trends, such as decreased consumer and business spending, high unemployment levels and declining consumer and business confidence, pose challenges to our business and could result in declining revenues, profitability and cash flow. Although we continue to devote significant resources to support our brands, unfavorable economic conditions may negatively affect demand for our products.

The payments technology industry is highly competitive and highly innovative, and some of our competitors have greater financial and operational resources than we do, which may give them an advantage with respect to the pricing of services offered to customers and the ability to develop new and disruptive technologies.

We operate in the payments technology industry, which is highly competitive and highly innovative. In this industry, our primary competitors include other payment processors, credit card processing firms, third-party card processing software institutions, as well as financial institutions, ISOs, and payment facilitators. Some of our current and potential competitors may be larger than we are and have greater financial and operational resources or brand recognition than we have. Competitors may provide payment processing services to merchants at lower margins or at a loss in order to generate banking fees from such merchants. It is also possible that larger financial institutions could decide to perform some or all of the services that we currently provide or could provide in the future in-house. We are facing increasing competition from competitors, including new entrant technology companies, who offer certain innovations in payment methods. Some of these competitors utilize proprietary software and service solutions. Some of these competitors have significant financial resources and robust networks and are highly regarded by consumers. In addition, some competitors, such as private companies or startup companies, may be less risk averse than we are and, therefore, may be able to respond more quickly to market demands. These competitors may compete in ways that minimize or remove the role of traditional card networks, acquirers, issuers and processors in the digital payments process. If these competitors gain a greater share of total digital payments transactions, it could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

19

We could face substantial competition, which could reduce our market share and negatively impact our net revenue.

Notable companies in the payment facilitator industry include PayPal, Stripe, and Square. Many of our payment facilitator competitors are significantly larger than we are and have considerably greater financial, technical, marketing, and other resources than we do. Some competitors may have a lower cost of funds and access to funding sources that are not available to us. We cannot assure you that the competitive pressures we face will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Litigation may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

From time to time in the normal course of our business operations, we may become subject to litigation involving intellectual property, data privacy and security, consumer protection, commercial disputes and other matters that may negatively affect our operating results if changes to our business operation are required. We may also be subject to a variety of claims including product warranty, product liability, and consumer protection claims related to product defects, among other litigation. We may also be subject to claims involving health and safety, other environmental impacts, or service disruptions or failures. The cost to defend such litigation may be significant and may require a diversion of our resources. There also may be adverse publicity associated with litigation that could negatively affect customer perception of our business, regardless of whether the allegations are valid or whether we are ultimately found liable. As a result, litigation may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, insurance may not cover existing or future claims, be sufficient to fully compensate us for one or more of such claims or continue to be available on terms acceptable to us. A claim brought against us that is uninsured or underinsured could result in unanticipated costs, thereby adversely affecting our results of operations and resulting in a reduction in the trading price of our stock. Please see the section titled Legal Proceedings elsewhere in this Report for more details on the Company’s currently ongoing litigation.

Expectations relating to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations could expose us to potential liabilities, increased costs, and reputational harm.

We are subject to laws, regulations, and other measures that govern a wide range of topics, including those related to matters beyond our core products and services. For instance, new laws, regulations, policies, and international accords relating to ESG matters, including sustainability, climate change, human capital, and diversity, are being developed and formalized in Europe, the U.S., and elsewhere, which may entail specific, target-driven frameworks and/or disclosure requirements. Any failure, or perceived failure, by us to adhere to our public statements, comply fully with developing interpretations of ESG laws and regulations, or meet evolving and varied stakeholder expectations and standards could harm our business, reputation, financial condition, and operating results.

Adverse developments affecting the financial services industry, including events or concerns involving liquidity, defaults or non-performance by financial institutions, have and could in the future, adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, or prospects.

The funds in our accounts are held in banks or other financial institutions. Our funds held in non-interest bearing and interest-bearing accounts would exceed any applicable Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. Should events, including limited liquidity, defaults, non-performance or other adverse developments occur with respect to the banks or other financial institutions that hold our funds, or that affect financial institutions or the financial services industry generally, or concerns or rumors about any events of these kinds or other similar risks, our liquidity may be adversely affected. For example, on March 10, 2023, the FDIC announced that Silicon Valley Bank had been closed by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation. Although we did not have any funds in Silicon Valley Bank or other institutions that have been closed, we cannot guarantee that the banks or other financial institutions that hold our funds will not experience similar issues.

Our business is dependent on our strategic banking relationships to process our electronic transactions. If we are unable to secure or retain a banking partner due to market conditions in the financial services industry, our financial condition will be materially affected.

In addition, investor concerns regarding the U.S. or international financial systems could result in less favorable commercial financing terms, including higher interest rates or costs and tighter financial and operating covenants, or systemic limitations on access to credit and liquidity sources, thereby making it more difficult for us to acquire financing on terms favorable to us could have material adverse impacts on our liquidity, our business, financial condition or results of operations, and our prospects. Our business is dependent on our strategic banking relationships to process our electronic transaction. Our business and our relationships with banking partners has been, and may in the future, be adversely impacted by these developments in ways that we cannot predict at this time. There may be additional risks that we have not yet identified, and we cannot guarantee that we will be able to avoid negative consequences directly or indirectly from any failure of one or more banks or other financial institutions.

In February 2024, the Company transitioned its QuickCard product in North America away from terminal-based to app-based processing. This transition was driven by a change in our banking partner that was prompted by recent changes in the compliance environment and banking regulations impacting certain niche high-risk business verticals, which were the predominant revenue driver for QuickCard.

20

Management planned to recover the loss of revenues resulting from this product transition through the acceleration of business development efforts to launch the new app-based product in existing and new business verticals. However, due to continuous changes in the regulatory environment and our previous banking relationships, during the second quarter of 2024, management determined that the app-based product may not be a viable long-term solution for certain niche high-risk business verticals and made the decision to terminate the rollout of the app-based product in those specific business verticals. To address this change, the Company recently introduced a licensing product for its payments processing platform, which it believes will enable it to serve the same customer base in such verticals through a business partner with more suitable banking compliance capabilities. Revenues from the new licensing product are not expected to materialize until late 2025. Due of this strategy shift as well as a reorganization of the Company’s business to better align with management’s revised strategy, which was executed during the second quarter of 2024, the recovery of the loss of revenues resulting from this product transition is now not expected to occur until late 2025.

The decline in revenues resulting from this product transition has adversely impacted the Company’s liquidity in its North America segment in the short term. As a result, management has determined that its cash in the North America segment as of December 31, 2024, will not be sufficient to fund the segment’s operations and capital needs for the next 12 months from the date of this Report. Refer to the “Going Concern” paragraph within Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,  of this Report for management’s response plan and further assessment.

Fluctuations in exchange rates could have a material and adverse effect on our results of operations and the value of your investment.

As much of the Company’s current operations are conducted in Europe, the Company receives a significant amount of currency in Euros from its operations, however, the Company’s reporting currency is U.S. dollars. Accordingly, fluctuations in the value of the Euro relative to the U.S. dollar could affect its results of operations due to translational remeasurements. As its international operations expand relative to its domestic operations, an increasing portion of its revenue and operating expenses will be denominated in non-US currencies. Accordingly, the Company’s revenue and operating expenses will become increasingly subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. If the Company is not able to successfully hedge against the risks associated with currency fluctuations, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Changes to U.S. tariff and import/export regulations may affect our portfolio companies, and may negatively impact our business, results of operations or financial condition.

On February 1, 2025, President Donald Trump announced the imposition of a 25% additional tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico as well as an additional 10% tariff on imports from China as part of a broader strategy to leverage access to American markets in exchange for concessions from other countries. The continued pursuit of such a strategy could result in changes to American trade policy that would negatively impact our Company by subjecting it to the material negative effects associated with aforementioned tariffs and an increasingly uncertain investment environment. For example, significant potential changes to U.S. trade policies, treaties and tariffs, create uncertainty about the future relationship between the United States and other countries. These developments may have material adverse effects on global economic conditions and the stability of global financial markets, and may significantly reduce global trade. Any of these factors could dampen economic activity and thereby limit customers’ payment processing volumes, resulting in a material adverse effect on their business, financial condition and results of operations, which in turn would negatively impact us. We cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any tariff or other trade protections may affect us or our Company.

We are currently operating in a period of severe capital markets disruptions and economic uncertainty which could impair our Company’s financial position and operating results and affect the industries in which we conduct our business and, in turn, harm our operating results.

The U.S. and global markets have, from time to time, experienced periods of disruption due to events such as terrorist attacks; acts of war; natural disasters, such as earthquakes, tsunamis, fires, floods or hurricanes; and outbreaks of epidemic, pandemic or contagious diseases. Such events have created, and continue to create, economic and political uncertainties and have contributed to recent global economic instability. In particular, the U.S. capital markets have recently experienced, and continue to experience, extreme volatility and disruption as a result of inflation, changing interest rates, the Russia-Ukraine war, conflicts in the Middle East and the possibility of an economic recession. These events are having an adverse impact on the ability of lenders to originate loans, increase funding costs, limit access to the capital markets or result in an inability for us to raise capital, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Volatility and dislocation in the capital markets can also create a challenging environment in which to raise or access debt capital. If sustained for a prolonged period of time, the current market conditions could result in difficulties refinancing, obtaining additional indebtedness, or raising capital necessary to sustain our business, including the cancellation of the sale of Ryvyl EU. The equity or debt capital that will be available to us in the future, if at all, may be at increased costs and on less favorable terms and conditions than what we currently experience.

Risks Related to Our Financial Position and Need for Capital

Our revenue projections related to our new licensing arrangements with payment services providers may not materialize due to customer acquisition and banking compliance issues that are outside of our control.

As part of the Company’s plan to diversify its business, it recently launched a new licensing product for its payment processing platform. The Company will generate revenues from these arrangements from use-based license fees that it will charge to the payment services providers. The Company’s ability to generate revenues from these licensing arrangements is contingent on the success of the licensees in utilizing and servicing their customers on their platforms, as the licensees will have exclusive control over, among other things, implementation and operations of the point of banking system, procurement of ACH processing solutions, and customer acquisitions.

The licensees will also have control in determining clients and industries utilizing the licensed technology, which requires an understanding of various banking laws and regulations that may impact the licensee’s servicing of customer accounts. For example, federal money laundering statutes and Bank Secrecy Act regulations discourage financial institutions from working with operators of certain industries, particularly those with heightened cash reporting obligations and restrictions. As a result, banks may refuse to process certain payments and/or require onerous reporting obligations by payment processors to avoid compliance risk. These and other complexities surrounding banking and payment processing laws may make it difficult for the licensees to acquire customers, thereby negatively impacting the Company’s ability to generate revenues from these arrangements.

Our financial statements may be materially affected if our estimates prove to be inaccurate as a result of our limited experience in making critical accounting estimates.

Financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) require the use of estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. These estimates, judgments, and assumptions are inherently uncertain, and, if they prove to be wrong, then we face the risk that charges to income will be required. In addition, because we have limited to no operating history and limited experience in making these estimates, judgments, and assumptions, the risk of future charges to income may be greater than if we had more experience in these areas. Any such charges could significantly harm our business, financial condition, results of operations, and the price of our securities.

The restatement of our historical financial statements has consumed a significant amount of our time and resources and may continue to do so.

We have previously restated our consolidated financial statements for the quarters ended March 31, 2021, June 30, 2021, September 30, 2021, March 31, 2022, June 30, 2022, and September 30, 2022, and for the annual period ended December 31, 2021, and previously presented the effects of the restatement adjustments in the Company’s 2022 Annual Report. The restatement process was highly time and resource-intensive and involved substantial attention from management, as well as significant legal and accounting costs. Although we have completed the restatements, we cannot guarantee that we will have no further inquiries from the SEC or The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) regarding our restated consolidated financial statements or matters relating thereto.

Any future inquiries from the SEC or Nasdaq as a result of the restatement of our historical financial statements will, regardless of the outcome, likely consume a significant amount of our resources in addition to those resources already consumed in connection with the restatement itself.

Further, many companies that have been required to restate their historical financial statements have experienced a decline in stock price and stockholder lawsuits related thereto.

Our financial statements may be materially affected as a result of material weaknesses in internal accounting controls.

We are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and Nasdaq rules and regulations. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. Effective internal control over financial reporting is necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and, together with adequate disclosure controls and procedures, is designed to prevent fraud. We must perform system and process evaluation and testing of our internal controls over financial reporting to allow management to report on the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting in this Report, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (“Section 404”). This requires significant management efforts and requires us to incur substantial professional fees and internal costs to expand our accounting and finance functions. Any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations. In addition, any testing by us, as and when required, conducted in connection with Section 404, or any subsequent testing by our independent registered public accounting firm, as and when required, may reveal deficiencies in our internal controls over financial reporting that are deemed to be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses, including the material weakness described below, or that may require prospective or retroactive changes to our financial statements, or may identify other areas for further attention or improvement. Furthermore, we cannot be certain that our efforts will be sufficient to remediate or prevent future material weaknesses or significant deficiencies from occurring.

22

We previously identified control deficiencies in the design and implementation of our internal control over financial reporting that constituted a material weakness. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Any failure to implement and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could adversely affect the results of the period including management evaluations and annual independent registered public accounting firm attestation reports regarding the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting that we will eventually be required to include in our periodic reports that are filed with the SEC. Ineffective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial and other information, which would likely have a negative effect on the trading price of our stock.

Management completed its remediation of the identified control deficiencies as of September 30, 2024, and intends to continue to take additional actions as may be deemed appropriate to further strengthen the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. However, because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Additionally, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. In the future, we may identify additional material weaknesses that may cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations or result in material misstatements of our financial statements. If we fail to remediate such material weaknesses or if we otherwise fail to establish and maintain effective control over financial reporting, our ability to accurately and timely report our financial results could be adversely affected. 

We will require additional financing to sustain or grow our operations. Raising additional capital may cause dilution to our existing stockholders and investors, restrict our operations or require us to relinquish rights to our products and/or product candidates on unfavorable terms to us.

We will need to seek additional capital through a variety of means, including through private and public equity offerings and debt financings, collaborations, strategic alliances, and marketing or licensing arrangements. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, or through the issuance of shares under other types of contracts, or upon the exercise or conversion of outstanding options, warrants, convertible debt or other similar securities, the ownership interests of our stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of such financings may include liquidation or other preferences, anti-dilution rights, conversion and exercise price adjustments and other provisions that adversely affect the rights of our stockholders, including rights, preferences and privileges that are senior to those of our holders of Common Stock in terms of the payment of dividends or in the event of a liquidation. In addition, debt financing, if available, could include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take certain actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures, entering into licensing arrangements, or declaring dividends and may require us to grant security interests in our assets. If we raise additional funds through collaborations, strategic alliances, or marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, product or product candidates or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financing when needed, we may need to curtail or cease our operations.

Our growth will be dependent on our ability to access additional equity and debt capital. We may seek additional capital through a variety of means, including through private and public equity offerings and debt financings, collaborations, and strategic alliances. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, or through the issuance of shares under other types of contracts, or upon the exercise or conversion of outstanding options, warrants, convertible debt or other similar securities, the ownership interests of our stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of such financings may include liquidation or other preferences, anti-dilution rights, conversion and exercise price adjustments and other provisions that adversely affect the rights of our stockholders, including rights, preferences, and privileges that are senior to those of our holders of Common Stock in terms of the payment of dividends or in the event of a liquidation. In addition, debt financing, if available, could include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take certain actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends and may require us to grant security interests in our assets. If we raise additional funds through collaborations, strategic alliances, or marketing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, products, and services. If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financing when needed, we may need to curtail or cease our operations.

We may not realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions or investments in joint ventures, or those benefits may be delayed or reduced in their realization.

Acquisitions and investments are likely to be a component of our growth and the development of our business in the future. Acquisitions can broaden and diversify our product concepts. In reviewing potential acquisitions or investments, we target assets or companies that we believe offer attractive products or offerings, the ability for us to leverage our offerings, competencies, or other synergies.

23

The combination of two or more independent businesses is a complex, costly, and time-consuming process that will require significant management attention and resources. The integration process may disrupt the businesses and, if implemented ineffectively, would limit the expected benefits of the acquisition. The failure to meet the challenges involved in integrating businesses and realizing the anticipated benefits could cause an interruption of, or a loss of momentum in, our activities and could adversely affect our results of operations. The overall integration of the businesses may result in material unanticipated problems, expenses, liabilities, competitive responses, loss of customer and other business relationships, and diversion of management’s attention. The difficulties of combining the operations of the companies include, among others:

● the diversion of management’s attention to integration matters;

● difficulties in achieving anticipated cost savings, synergies, business opportunities, and growth prospects from the combination;

● potential challenges in obtaining requisite government regulatory approvals;

● difficulties in the integration of operations and systems; and

● conforming standards, controls, procedures, accounting and other policies, business cultures, and compensation structures between the two companies.

We cannot be certain that the products and offerings of companies we may acquire, or acquire an interest in, will achieve or maintain popularity with consumers in the future or that any such acquired companies or investments will allow us to market our products more effectively, develop our competencies or to grow our business. In some cases, we expect that the integration of the companies that we may acquire into our operations will create production, marketing and other operating, revenue or cost synergies which will produce greater revenue growth and profitability and, where applicable, cost savings, operating efficiencies and other advantages. However, we cannot be certain that these synergies, efficiencies and cost savings will be realized. Even if achieved, these benefits may be delayed or reduced in their realization. In other cases, we may acquire or invest in companies that we believe have strong and creative management, in which case we may plan to operate them more autonomously rather than fully integrating them into our operations. We cannot be certain that the key talented individuals at these companies will continue to work for us after the acquisition or that they will develop popular and profitable products or services in the future. We cannot guarantee that any acquisition or investment we may make will be successful or beneficial, and acquisitions can consume significant amounts of management attention and other resources, which may negatively impact other aspects of our business.

Our operating results may fluctuate significantly as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control, which could cause fluctuations in the price of our securities.

We are subject to the following factors that may negatively affect our operating results:

● our ability to upgrade and develop our systems and infrastructure to accommodate growth;

● our ability to attract and retain key personnel in a timely and cost-effective manner;

● technical difficulties;

● the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures relating to the expansion of our business, operations, and infrastructure;

● our ability to identify and enter into relationships with appropriate and qualified third-party providers for necessary development and manufacturing services;

● regulation by federal, state, or local governments;

● banking industry turmoil and headwinds in the digital asset space; and

● general economic conditions, as well as economic conditions specific to the entertainment, theme park, party items, arts and crafts, and packaging industries.

As a result of our lack of any operating history and the nature of the markets in which we compete, it is difficult for us to forecast our revenues or earnings with a high degree of certainty. As a strategic response to changes in the competitive environment, we may from time to time make certain decisions concerning expenditures, pricing, service, or marketing that could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Due to the foregoing factors, our revenues and operating results are difficult to forecast.

24

Risks Related to Cybersecurity, Information Technology, and Intellectual Property

We are increasingly dependent on information technology, and potential cyberattacks, security problems, or other disruption and expanding social media vehicles present new risks.

We rely on information technology networks and systems, including the internet, to process, transmit, and store electronic information, and to manage or support a variety of business processes, including financial transactions and records, billing, and operating data. We may purchase some of our information technology from vendors, on whom our systems will depend, and we rely on commercially available systems, software, tools, and monitoring to provide security for processing, transmission, and storage of confidential operator and other customer information. We depend upon the secure transmission of this information over public networks. Our networks and storage applications could be subject to unauthorized access by hackers or others through cyberattacks, which are rapidly evolving and becoming increasingly sophisticated, or by other means, or may be breached due to operator error, malfeasance or other system disruptions. In some cases, it will be difficult to anticipate or immediately detect such incidents and the damage they cause. Any significant breakdown, invasion, destruction, interruption, or leakage of information from our systems could harm our business.

Further, in the normal course of our business, we collect, store and transmit proprietary and confidential information regarding our customers, employees, and others, including personally identifiable information. An operational failure or breach of security from increasingly sophisticated cyber threats could lead to loss, misuse or unauthorized disclosure of this information about our employees or customers, which may result in regulatory or other legal proceedings, and have a material adverse effect on our business. We also may not have the resources or technical sophistication to anticipate or prevent rapidly evolving types of cyber-attacks. Any such attacks or precautionary measures taken to prevent anticipated attacks may result in increasing costs, including costs for additional technologies, training and third-party consultants. The losses incurred from a breach of data security and operational failures as well as the precautionary measures required to address this evolving risk may adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Business interruptions or systems failures may impair the availability of our websites, applications, products or services, or otherwise harm our business.

Our systems and operations and those of our service providers and partners have experienced from time to time, and may experience in the future, business interruptions or degradation of service because of distributed denial-of-service and other cyberattacks, insider threats, hardware and software defects or malfunctions, human error, earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, fires, and other natural disasters, public health crises (including pandemics), power losses, disruptions in telecommunications services, fraud, military or political conflicts, terrorist attacks, computer viruses or other malware, or other events. The frequency and intensity of weather events related to climate change are increasing, which could increase the likelihood and severity of such disasters as well as related damage and business interruption. A catastrophic event that could lead to a disruption or failure of our systems or operations could result in significant losses and require substantial recovery time and significant expenditures to resume or maintain operations. Further, some of our systems are not fully redundant and any failure of these systems, including due to a catastrophic event, may lead to operational outages or delays. While we try to mitigate risks from outages or delays, any planning and testing may not be effective or sufficient for all possible outcomes or events. As a provider of payments solutions, we are also subject to heightened scrutiny by regulators that may require specific business continuity, resiliency and disaster recovery plans, and rigorous testing of such plans, which may be costly and time-consuming to implement, and may divert our resources from other business priorities. Any of the foregoing risks could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, system failures, cyberattacks, unplanned outages, and other events or conditions from time to time that have and may interrupt the availability, or reduce or adversely affect the speed or functionality, of our products and services. While we continue to undertake system upgrades efforts designed to improve the availability, reliability, resiliency, and speed of our payments platform, these efforts are costly and time-consuming, involve significant technical complexity and risk, may divert our resources from new features and products, and may ultimately not be effective. A prolonged interruption of, or reduction in, the availability, speed, or functionality of our products and services could materially harm our business and financial condition. Frequent or persistent interruptions in our services could permanently harm our relationship with our customers and partners and our reputation. If any system failure or similar event results in damage to our customers or their business partners, they could seek significant compensation or contractual penalties from us for their losses. These claims, even if unsuccessful, would likely be time-consuming and costly for us to address.

In addition, any failure to successfully implement new information systems and technologies or improvements or upgrades to existing information systems and technologies in a timely manner could lead to regulatory scrutiny, significant fines and penalties, and mandatory and costly changes to our business, adversely impact our business, internal controls, results of operations, and financial condition, and ultimately could cause us to lose existing licenses that we need to operate or prevent or delay us from obtaining additional licenses that may be required for our business.

25

Software and hardware defects, failures, undetected errors and development delays could affect our ability to deliver our services, damage customer relations, expose us to liability and have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our services are based on software and computing systems that may encounter development delays, and the underlying software may contain undetected errors, viruses, defects or vulnerabilities. The hardware infrastructure on which our systems run may have a faulty component or fail. Defects in our software services, underlying hardware or errors or delays in our processing of digital transactions could result in additional development costs, diversion of technical and other resources from our other development efforts and could result in loss of credibility with current or potential customers, harm to our reputation and exposure to liability claims. In instances in which we rely on third-party software, our services are occasionally affected by defects, viruses, vulnerabilities, security incidents or other failures that take place at the vendor level. Depending on the circumstances, a vendor failure could cause delays, disruption or data loss or damage, and therefore cause harm to our credibility, reputation or financial condition. In addition, our insurance may not be adequate to compensate us for all losses or failures that may occur.

Privacy regulation is an evolving area and compliance with applicable privacy regulations may increase our operating costs or adversely impact our ability to service our clients and market our products and services.

Because we store, process and use data, some of which contains personal information, we are subject to complex and evolving federal, state, and foreign laws and regulations regarding privacy, data protection, and other matters. While we believe we are currently in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, many of these laws and regulations are subject to change and uncertain interpretation, and could result in investigations, claims, changes to our business practices, increased cost of operations, and declines in user growth, retention, or engagement, any of which could seriously harm our business.

Data privacy and security concerns relating to our technology and our practices could cause us to incur significant liability and deter current and potential users from using our products and services. Software bugs or defects, security breaches, and attacks on our systems could result in the improper disclosure and use of user data and interference with our users’ ability to use our products and services, harming our business operations.

Concerns about our practices with regard to the collection, use, disclosure, or security of personal information or other data-privacy-related matters, even if unfounded, could harm our financial condition, and operating results. Our policies and practices may change over time as expectations regarding privacy and data change. Our products and services involve the storage and transmission of proprietary information, and bugs, theft, misuse, defects, vulnerabilities in our products and services, and security breaches expose us to a risk of loss of this information, improper use and disclosure of such information, litigation, and other potential liability. Systems and control failures, security breaches and/or inadvertent disclosure of user data could result in government and legal exposure, seriously harm our business, and impair our ability to attract and retain customers.

We may experience cyber-attacks and other attempts to gain unauthorized access to our systems. We may experience future security issues, whether due to employee error or malfeasance or system errors or vulnerabilities in our or other parties’ systems, which could result in significant legal and financial exposure. We may be unable to anticipate or detect attacks or vulnerabilities or implement adequate preventative measures. Attacks and security issues could also compromise trade secrets and other sensitive information, harming our business. As a result, we may suffer significant legal or financial exposure, which could harm our business, financial condition, and operating results.

Third-party claims of infringement against us could adversely affect our ability to market our products and require us to redesign our products or seek licenses from third parties.

We are susceptible to intellectual property lawsuits that could cause us to incur substantial costs, pay substantial damages, or prohibit us from distributing our products. Whether a product infringes a patent involves complex legal and factual issues, the determination of which is often uncertain. In addition, because patent applications can take many years to issue, there may be applications now pending of which we are unaware, which later may result in issued patents that our products may infringe. If any of our products infringe a valid patent, we could be prevented from distributing that product unless and until we can obtain a license or redesign it to avoid infringement. A license may not be available or may require us to pay substantial royalties. We also may not be successful in any attempt to redesign the product to avoid any infringement. Infringement and other intellectual property claims, with or without merit, can be expensive and time-consuming to litigate, and we may not have the financial and human resources to defend ourselves against any infringement suits that may be brought against us.

We may employ individuals who were previously employed by companies that are developing similar products and technology, including our competitors or potential competitors. To the extent our employees are involved in research areas which are similar to those areas in which they were involved at their former employers, we may be subject to claims that such employees and/or we have inadvertently or otherwise used or disclosed the alleged trade secrets or other proprietary information of the former employers. Litigation may be necessary to defend against such claims, which could result in substantial costs and be a distraction to management and which may have a material adverse effect on us, even if we are successful in defending such claims.

26

We also rely in our business on trade secrets, know-how and other proprietary information. We seek to protect this information, in part, through the use of confidentiality agreements with employees, consultants, advisors and others. Nonetheless, we cannot assure you that those agreements will provide adequate protection for our trade secrets, know-how or other proprietary information and prevent their unauthorized use or disclosure. To the extent that consultants, key employees or other third parties apply technological information independently developed by them or by others to our proposed products, disputes may arise as to the proprietary rights to such information which may not be resolved in our favor. Most of our consultants are employed by or have consulting agreements with third parties and any inventions discovered by such individuals generally will not become our property. There is a risk that other parties may breach confidentiality agreements or that our trade secrets become known or independently discovered by competitors, which could adversely affect us.

We are highly dependent on information systems and systems failures or interruption could significantly disrupt our business, which may, in turn, negatively affect our financial results and the market price of our common stock.

We depend on communications and information systems for payment-processing as well as certain third-party service providers. As our reliance on these systems has increased, so have the risks posed to these communications and information systems. Any failure or interruption in these systems, including due to (i) electrical or telecommunication outages, (ii) natural disasters such as earthquakes, tornadoes and hurricanes, (iii) disease pandemics, (iv) events arising from local or larger state political or social matters, including terrorist activities, and (v) cyberattacks could cause disruptions in our activities.

If we cannot keep pace with rapid technological developments to provide new and innovative products and services, the use of our products and services and, consequently, our revenues, could decline.

Rapid, significant, and disruptive technological changes impact the industries in which we operate, including payment technologies, internet browser technologies, artificial intelligence and machine learning, and developments in technologies supporting our regulatory and compliance obligations. We expect that new technologies applicable to the industries in which we operate will continue to emerge and may be superior to, or render obsolete, the technologies we currently use in our products and services. We cannot predict the effects of technological changes on our business, which technological developments or innovations will become widely adopted, and how those technologies may be regulated. Developing and incorporating new technologies into new and existing products and services may require significant investment, take considerable time, and may not ultimately be successful. We may rely on third parties for the development of and access to new or evolving technologies. These third parties may restrict or prevent our access to, or utilization of, those technologies, as well as their platforms or products. Our ability to develop, provide or incorporate new technologies and adapt our existing products and services or develop future and new products and services using new technologies may be limited or restricted by industry-wide standards, platform providers, payments networks, changes to laws and regulations, changing customer expectations, third-party intellectual property rights, and other factors. If we are unable to develop and incorporate new technologies and adapt to technological changes and evolving industry standards in a timely or cost-effective manner, our business, results of operations, or reputation could be harmed.

Risks Related to Owning Our Common Stock

We are subject to increased costs as a result of operating as a public company, and our management is required to devote substantial time to new compliance initiatives.

As a public company, we incur significant legal, accounting, and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company, including costs associated with public company reporting requirements. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as rules subsequently adopted by the SEC and Nasdaq to implement provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, impose significant requirements on public companies, including requiring establishment and maintenance of effective disclosure and financial controls and changes in corporate governance practices. Further, in July 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or the Dodd-Frank Act, was enacted. There are significant corporate governance and executive compensation related provisions in the Dodd-Frank Act that require the SEC to adopt additional rules and regulations in these areas, such as “say on pay” and proxy access. Stockholder activism, the current political environment and the current high level of government intervention and regulatory reform may lead to substantial new regulations and disclosure obligations, which may lead to additional compliance costs and impact the manner in which we operate our business in ways we cannot currently anticipate. Our management and other personnel will devote a substantial amount of time to these compliance programs and monitoring of public company reporting obligations and as a result of the new corporate governance and executive compensation related rules, regulations and guidelines prompted by the Dodd-Frank Act and further regulations and disclosure obligations expected in the future, we will likely need to devote additional time and costs to comply with such compliance programs and rules. These rules and regulations will cause us to incur significant legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly.

The rules and regulations applicable to public companies have substantially increased our legal and financial compliance costs and make some activities more time-consuming and costly. If these requirements divert the attention of our management and personnel from other business concerns, they could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. The increased costs will decrease our net income and may require us to reduce costs in other areas of our business or increase the prices of our products or services. For example, these rules and regulations made it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to incur substantial costs in the future to maintain the same or similar coverage. We cannot predict or estimate the amount or timing of additional costs we may incur to respond to these requirements. The impact of these requirements could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our Board, our Board committees or as executive officers.

27

If we are not able to comply with the applicable continued listing requirements or standards of Nasdaq, our common stock could be delisted from Nasdaq. 

Our common stock is currently listed on Nasdaq. In order to maintain that listing, we must satisfy minimum financial and other continued listing requirements and standards, including those regarding director independence and independent committee requirements, minimum stockholders’ equity, minimum share price, and certain corporate governance requirements. There can be no assurances that we will be able to comply with the applicable listing standards of Nasdaq.

In the event that our common stock is delisted from Nasdaq and is not eligible for quotation on another market or exchange, trading of our common stock could be conducted in the over-the-counter market established for unlisted securities, such as the OTC Markets. In such event, it could become more difficult to dispose of, or obtain accurate price quotations for, our common stock, and there would likely also be a reduction in our coverage by securities analysts and the news media, which could cause the price of our common stock to decline further. Also, it may be difficult for us to raise additional capital if we are not listed on a major exchange.

In the event that our common stock is delisted from Nasdaq, U.S. broker-dealers may be discouraged from effecting transactions in shares of our common stock because it may be considered a penny stock and thus be subject to the penny stock rules. 

The SEC has adopted a number of rules to regulate a “penny stock” that restricts transactions involving stock which is deemed to be a penny stock. Such rules include Rules 3a51-1, 15g-1, 15g-2, 15g-3, 15g-4, 15g-5, 15g-6, 5g-7, and 15g-9 under the Exchange Act. These rules may have the effect of reducing the liquidity of penny stocks. “Penny stocks” generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 per share (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or traded on Nasdaq if current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system). Our shares of common stock may, in the future constitute, a “penny stock” within the meaning of the rules. The additional sales practice and disclosure requirements imposed upon U.S. broker-dealers may discourage such broker-dealers from effecting transactions in shares of our common stock, which could severely limit the market liquidity of such shares of common stock and impede their sale in the secondary market.

A U.S. broker-dealer selling a penny stock to anyone other than an established customer or “accredited investor” (generally, an individual with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or an annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with his or her spouse) must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and must receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to sale, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt. In addition, the “penny stock” regulations require the U.S. broker-dealer to deliver, prior to any transaction involving a “penny stock”, a disclosure schedule prepared in accordance with SEC standards relating to the “penny stock” market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt. A U.S. broker-dealer is also required to disclose commissions payable to the U.S. broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, a U.S. broker-dealer is required to submit monthly statements disclosing recent price information with respect to any “penny stock” held in a customer’s account and information with respect to the limited market in “penny stocks”.

You should be aware that, according to the SEC, the market for “penny stocks” has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (i) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (ii) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (iii) “boiler room” practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (iv) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (v) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, resulting in investor losses. Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research, or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research, about our business, our stock price and our trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our Common Stock depends, in part, on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. While we currently have certain analyst coverage, if one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our Common Stock or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price could decline. In addition, if our operating results fail to meet the forecast of analysts, our stock price could decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of us or fail to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our Common Stock could decrease, which might cause our stock price and trading volume to decline.

Item 1C. Cybersecurity

We have processes for assessing, identifying, and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats. These processes are integrated into our overall risk management systems, as overseen by our Board, primarily through its audit committee. These processes also include overseeing and identifying risks from cybersecurity threats associated with the use of third-party service providers. We conduct risk assessments of certain third-party providers before engagement and have established monitoring procedures in an effort to assess and mitigate potential data security exposures originating from third parties. We from time to time engages third-party consultants, legal advisors, and audit firms in evaluating and testing our risk management systems and assessing and remediating certain potential cybersecurity incidents as appropriate.

Governance

Board of Directors

The audit committee of our Board oversees, among other things, the adequacy and effectiveness of our internal controls, including internal controls designed to assess, identify, and manage material risks from cybersecurity threats. The audit committee is informed of material risks from cybersecurity threats pursuant to the escalation criteria, as set forth in our disclosure controls and procedures. Further, at least once per year, our management team reports on cybersecurity matters, including material risks and threats, to the audit committee, and the audit committee provides updates to the Board at regular Board meetings. Our management team also provides updates annually or more frequently as appropriate to the Board.

Management

Under the oversight of the audit committee of the Board, and as directed by our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), the Head of IT is primarily responsible for the assessment and management of material cybersecurity risks and the Company’s annual security audits to meet the payment industry expectations. Our management team holds a regular cybersecurity and business continuity reviews to evaluate data security exposures, control effectiveness and necessary remediation actions. The Head of IT is also supported by a third-party IT consulting services provider who helps oversee our IT systems and provides cross-functional support for cybersecurity risk management and facilitates the response to any cybersecurity incidents.

Our Head of IT oversees our cybersecurity incident response plan and related processes that are designed to assess and manage material risks from cybersecurity threats. Our Head of IT also coordinates with our legal counsel and third parties, such as consultants and legal advisors, to assess and manage material risks from cybersecurity threats. Our management team is informed about the effectiveness of the prevention, detection, mitigation, and remediation of cybersecurity incidents pursuant to criteria set forth in our incident response plan and related processes.

29

Our audit committee is responsible for overseeing the establishment and effectiveness of controls and other procedures, including controls and procedures related to the public disclosure of material cybersecurity matters. Our Head of IT, or a delegate, informs the CEO of certain cybersecurity incidents that may potentially be determined to be material pursuant to escalation criteria set forth in our incident response plan and related processes. The CEO is also primarily responsible for advising our Chief Financial Officer regarding cybersecurity disclosures in public filings. The CEO also notifies the audit committee chair of any material cybersecurity incidents.

As of the date of this Report, we are not aware of any cybersecurity incidents that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company, including its business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition and that are required to be reported in this Report. For further discussion of the risks associated with cybersecurity incidents, see the cybersecurity risk factor included in the section entitled “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this Report.

Impact of Cybersecurity Threats

Our results of operations and financial condition have not been materially affected by cybersecurity threats or incidents to date. However, to assess, identify, and manage material risks from cybersecurity threats, including as a result of previous cybersecurity incidents, we have invested and expect to continue to invest significant resources to sustain and enhance our information security and controls or to investigate and mitigate security vulnerabilities. Although we believe that we maintain a robust program of information security and controls and that none of the cybersecurity incidents that we have encountered to date have materially affected us, we cannot be certain that the security measures and procedures we have in place to detect security incidents and protect sensitive data will be successful or sufficient to counter all current and emerging risks and threats. The impact of a material cybersecurity incident involving our systems and data, or those of our clients, partners or vendors, could have a material adverse effect on our business strategy, results of operations and financial condition.

Revenue

We generate the majority of our revenue from the acceptance and processing of credit and debit card payments on behalf of merchants that operate principally online. We charge our customers a transaction fee that is generally calculated based on a percentage of the total transaction amount processed. We also generate revenue from banking and online payments services for which we charge fees for various activities that include, but are not limited to, incoming and outgoing payments, bank account opening, account maintenance, foreign exchange services, etc.

Total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024, decreased by $9.9 million, or 15%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. At the reportable segment level, revenue in North America decreased by $30.8 million, or 62.9%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, while revenue in the International segment increased by $20.9 million, or 123.5%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in revenue in North America was driven by the loss of revenues associated with the product transition further described in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. The increase in revenue in the International segment was primarily driven by the continued growth in processing volume, which increased from $1.7 billion for the year ended December 31, 2023 to $3.7 billion for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in processing volume is primarily attributable to the continued expansion of our ISO and partnership network and growth in our payments processing and banking-as-a-service offerings.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue primarily consist of interchange and assessment fees, and various other fees paid to third-party payment processors and financial institutions. It also includes commission payments to the ISOs responsible for establishing and maintaining merchant relationships.

Total cost of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024, decreased by $6.6 million, or 16.4%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. At the reportable segment level, cost of revenue in North America decreased by $19.0 million, or 63.8%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, while in the International segment, cost of revenue increased by $12.4 million, or 119.0%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in cost of revenue in North America was consistent with the decline in revenue for the segment. The increase in cost of revenue in the International segment is primarily attributable to the increase in processing volume described in the Company’s revenue discussion above, which resulted in higher interchange and other processing fees, and commission payments to ISOs.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024, increased by $5.3 million, or 13.9%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily driven by the following:

● Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024, decreased by $1.9 million or 33.2%, compared to December 31, 2023, as the Company began capitalizing a portion of internal-use software development costs during the second quarter of 2024.

● General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024, decreased by $1.7 million, or 20.1%, compared to December 31, 2023. This decrease was primarily due to non-recurring credit losses recorded during the year ended December 31, 2023, related to non-continuing legacy accounts.

33

● Payroll and payroll taxes for the year ended December 31, 2024, increased $1.8 million, or 15.1%, compared to December 31, 2023, primarily due to strategic personnel investments in North America during the second half of 2024 as part of management’s plan to return to revenue growth in that segment, and increased headcount and higher variable compensation in the International segment to support the segment’s continued growth and expansion strategy.

● Professional fees for the year ended December 31, 2024, decreased $2.7 million, or 38.2%, compared to December 31, 2023, primarily due to accounting, consulting, and legal fees incurred in connection with the Company’s restatement of prior period consolidated financial statements during 2023, which did not recur during 2024.

● Stock compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2024, decreased $1.2 million, or 66.3%, compared to December 31, 2023, primarily due to a smaller number of stock grants issued in 2024 and a lower stock price associated with grants issued.

● Impairment of goodwill and impairment of intangible assets increased $6.7 million, or 100%, and $3.0 million, or 100%, respectively, compared to December 31, 2023, as the Company wrote-off 100% of those assets in North America during 2024. See Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, for additional details.

● Restructuring charges increased $1.6 million, or 100%, compared to December 31, 2023, due to the Company’s reorganization and restructuring of its business in North America during the second quarter of 2024. The restructuring charges primarily included employee severance and termination benefits, and a write-off of assets related to the Coyni brand.

Other Expense, Net

Other expense, net for the year ended December 31, 2024, decreased by $35.7 million, or 88.2%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. This decrease was primarily driven by the following:

● Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2024, decreased by $2.5 million, or 74.2%, compared to December 31, 2023, due the multiple restructurings of the convertible note during 2023, which reduced the principal balance and waived a portion of the accrued interest.

● On a net basis, Accretion of debt discount, Changes in fair value of derivative liability, and Derecognition expense on conversion of convertible note, for the year ended December 31, 2024, decreased by $28.8 million, or 91.0%, compared to December 31, 2023. The net decrease was primarily driven by the multiple restructurings of the Company’s convertible note during 2023, with no comparable activity during 2024.

● Legal settlement expense for the year ended December 31, 2024, decreased by $2.1 million or 50.2%, compared to December 31, 2023, due to lower and less significant legal settlements activity during 2024.

● Gain on sale of property and equipment for the year ended December 31, 2024, decreased by $1.1 million or 100%, compared to December 31, 2023, due to the sale of a building owned by the Company’s subsidiary, Charge Savvy, during 2023 with no similar sales during 2024.

● Other income (expense), net increased $3.4 million, or 139.2%, to income of $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 from expense of $2.5 million in the prior year, primarily due to an increase in exchange gains and interest income, and a $2.1 million of expense recorded in 2023 related to the carryover effects of the Company’s restatement of prior period consolidated financial statements, with no similar item recorded in 2024.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company’s consolidated working capital at December 31, 2024 was negative $8.2 million, which included cash of $2.6 million and restricted cash of $89.4 million. Historically, the Company has financed its operations with proceeds from cash from operations, the sales of equity securities, and its $100 million convertible note. Our material liquidity needs principally relate to working capital requirements and research and development expenditures.

Due to the decline in revenues resulting from the product transition further described in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of this Report, the Company’s liquidity in its North America segment has been adversely impacted. As a result, management has determined that its cash in the North America segment as of December 31, 2024, will not be sufficient to fund the segment’s operations and capital needs for the next 12 months from the date of this Report.  

34

The Company’s ability to successfully address this liquidity shortfall is contingent upon the successful execution of management’s intended plan over the next twelve months, which includes, without limitation:

● continued execution of its accelerated business development efforts to drive volumes in diversified business verticals with the Company’s other products, including the recently launched licensing of the Company’s payments processing platform in certain niche high-risk business verticals;

● continued implementation of cost control measures to more effectively manage spending in the North America segment and right-sizing the organization, where appropriate;

● the sale of noncore assets;

● continued repatriation of offshore profits from the Company’s European subsidiaries, whose continued accelerated growth and generation of positive cash flow have already provided and we believe will continue to provide, an immediate and viable short-term source of capital during this product transition (to date, the Company has repatriated approximately $17.6 million from Europe); and,

● raising capital through a variety of means, including private and public equity offerings and debt financings.

Management has assessed that its intended plan described above, if successfully implemented, is appropriate and sufficient to address the liquidity shortfall in its North America segment and to provide funds to cover operations for the next 12 months from the date of the issuance of this Report. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in implementing our plan, that our projections of our future capital needs will prove accurate, or that any additional funding will be sufficient to continue our operations in the North America segment.

	Years Ended December 31,
	2024			2023
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities	$	21,191		$	33,161

Net increase (decrease) in cash and restricted cash	$	18,712		$	32,484

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

For the year ended December 31, 2024, net cash provided by operating activities was $21.2 million, primarily due to net inflows related to changes in cash due from gateways of $12.7 million, accounts payable and other current liabilities of $3.2 million, and payment processing liabilities of $14.0 million. These inflows were partially offset by a net loss of $26.8 million and non-cash expense adjustments of $17.4 million consisting primarily of depreciation and amortization, debt discount accretion, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, and restructuring charges.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, net cash provided by operating activities was $33.2 million, primarily due net inflows related to prepaids and other current assets of $6.6 million, accounts payable and other current liabilities of $2.3 million, and payment processing liabilities of $47.9 million. There inflows were partially offset by a net loss of $53.1 million non-cash expense adjustments of $35.3 million consisting primarily of depreciation and amortization, stock compensation expense, and non-cash expenses related to the restructuring of our convertible note.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

For the year ended December 31, 2024, net cash used by investing activities was $1.8 million, primarily due to outflows related to capitalized software development costs. For the year ended December 31, 2023, net cash provided by investing activities was $2.3 million primarily due proceeds from the sale of a building owned by the Company’s subsidiary, Charge Savvy.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

For the year ended December 31, 2024, net cash used in financing activities was immaterial. For the year ended December 31, 2023, net cash used in financing activities was $3.0 million, due to a partial repayment of principal on our convertible note in connection with the restructuring of that note during the year.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). GAAP requires us 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We base our estimates on historical experience, anticipated future trends, and other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Because these estimates require significant judgment, our actual results may differ materially from our estimates.

Cash Due from Gateways

The Company generates the majority of its revenue from payment processing services provided to its merchant clients. When a merchant makes a sale, the process of receiving the payment card information and engaging the banks for transferring the proceeds to the merchant’s account via digital gateways, are the activities for which the Company gets to collect fees.

36

The gateways have strict guidelines pertaining to the scheduling of the release of funds to merchants based on several criteria that include, but are not limited to, return and chargeback history, associated risk for the specific business vertical, average transaction amount, etc. To mitigate potential credit losses associated with these risks, these gateway policies determine reserve requirements and a payment in arrears strategy. While reserve and payment in arrears restrictions are in effect for a merchant payout, the Company records the reserved amounts against cash due from the gateways until released.

Cash due from gateways is only applicable to payment processing services provided in North America, as. Ryvyl EU has its own gateway and, therefore, similar receivables are not created.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

In February 2024, the Company transitioned its QuickCard product in North America away from terminal-based to app-based processing. This transition was driven by a change in our banking partner that was prompted by recent changes in the compliance environment and banking regulations impacting certain niche high-risk business verticals, which were the predominant revenue driver for QuickCard.

Management planned to recover the loss of revenues resulting from this product transition through the acceleration of business development efforts to launch the new app-based product in existing and new business verticals. However, due to continuous changes in the regulatory environment and our previous banking relationships, during the second quarter of 2024, management determined that the app-based product may not be a viable long-term solution for certain niche high-risk business verticals and made the decision to terminate the rollout of the app-based product in those specific business verticals. To address this change, during the third quarter of 2024, the Company introduced a licensing product for its payments processing platform, which it believes will enable it to serve the same customer base in such verticals through a business partner with more suitable banking compliance capabilities. Revenues from the new licensing product are not expected to materialize until late 2025. Due of this strategy shift as well as a reorganization of the Company’s business to better align with management’s revised strategy, which was executed during the second quarter of 2024, the recovery of the loss of revenues resulting from this product transition is now not expected to occur until late 2025.

The decline in revenues resulting from this product transition has adversely impacted the Company’s liquidity in its North America segment in the short term. As a result, management has determined that its cash in the North America segment as of December 31, 2024, will not be sufficient to fund the segment’s operations and capital needs for the next 12 months from the date of this Report. Management’s intended plan over the next twelve months to address the liquidity shortfall in the North America segment includes, but is not limited to, the following:

● continued execution of its accelerated business development efforts to drive volumes in diversified business verticals with the Company’s other products, including the recently launched licensing of the Company’s payments processing platform in certain niche high-risk business verticals;

● continued implementation of cost control measures to more effectively manage spending in the North America segment and right-sizing the organization, where appropriate;

● the sale of noncore assets;

● continued repatriation of offshore profits from the Company’s European subsidiaries, whose continued accelerated growth and generation of positive cash flow have already provided and we believe will continue to provide, an immediate and viable short-term source of capital during this product transition (to date, the Company has repatriated approximately $17.6 million from Europe); and

● raising capital through a variety of means, including private and public equity offerings and debt financings.

Management has assessed that its intended plan described above, if successfully implemented, is appropriate and sufficient to address the liquidity shortfall in its North America segment and to provide funds to cover operations for the next 12 months from the date of the issuance of this Report. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in implementing our plan, that our projections of our future capital needs will prove accurate, or that any additional funding will be sufficient to continue our operations in the North America segment. Refer to the “Going Concern” paragraph within Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of this Report for additional information.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business, which primarily relate to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

Foreign Currency Risk

Our consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars and we have operations internationally that are denominated in the local currency in which those operations are located, primarily the Bulgarian Lev. Our results of operations and cash flows are, therefore, subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. For the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, we recorded an other comprehensive loss of $1.7 million and $0.04 million, respectively, in connection with foreign currency translation adjustments.

As the impact of foreign currency exchange rates has historically not been material to our consolidated financial statements, we have not engaged in any foreign currency hedging strategies. As our international operations grow, we will continue to reassess our approach to managing our risk relating to fluctuations in currency rates.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Regulations under the Exchange Act require public companies to maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and timely communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer), to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based on their evaluation as of December 31, 2024, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of such date.

Remediation of Material Weakness

During 2024, with the oversight of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, the Company executed its remediation plan to address the material weakness identified in Item 9A of its 2023 Annual Report related to not having a complete process in place to fully reconcile the transactions between its operating system (a Company-developed platform) and its general ledger system, at the individual transaction level. The Company took the following actions during the execution of its remediation plan:

● Implemented an enhanced reconciliation preparation and review process

● Implemented changes to its operating system to improve reporting

Management has determined, through its current year testing, that these controls have been designed and implemented effectively and that these controls operated effectively for a sufficient period of time to conclude that the previously disclosed material weakness related to the reconciliation of transactions between the Company’s operating system and its general ledger system as of December 31, 2023, has been remediated as of the date of the filing of this Report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Except as discussed above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2024, which has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 9B. Other Information

None.

Item 9C. Disclosure Regarding Foreign Jurisdictions that Prevent Inspection

None.

Family Relationships

The Company employs two of our CEO’s brothers, Dan and Liron Nusinovich, who are paid approximately $260,000 and $131,000 per year, respectively. There are no family relationships between any of our other directors or executive officers and any other employees or directors or executive officers.

Corporate Governance Overview

Composition of our Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors currently consists of five directors. Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that our Board of Directors can consist of not less than one director nor more than 11 directors. Our Amended and Restated Bylaws also provide that a majority of the total number of directors then in office will constitute a quorum for a meeting of the Board of Directors. At each Annual Meeting of Stockholders, directors will be elected for a one year term, until his or her successor is elected at our Annual Meeting or his or her death, resignation or removal, whichever is earliest to occur. When considering whether directors have the experience, qualifications, attributes or skills, taken as a whole, to enable our Board of Directors to satisfy its oversight responsibilities effectively in light of our business and structure, the Board of Directors focuses primarily on each person’s background and experience as reflected in the information discussed in each of the directors’ individual biographies set forth above. We believe that our directors provide an appropriate mix of experience and skills relevant to the size and nature of our business.

Director Independence

As our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, our determination of the independence of directors is made using the definition of “independent director” contained in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(a)(2). Our Board of Directors has affirmatively determined that each of Ms. Baer, Mr. Montoya and Mr. Laniado are “independent directors,” as that term is defined in the Nasdaq rules. Under the Nasdaq rules, our Board must be composed of a majority of “independent directors.”

Additionally, subject to certain limited exceptions, our Board’s audit, compensation, and nominating and corporate governance committees also must be composed of all independent directors.

Audit committee members must also satisfy the independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. Under the rules of Nasdaq, a director will only qualify as an “independent director” if, in the opinion of that company’s Board of Directors, that person does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

To be considered to be independent for purposes of Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act, a member of an audit committee of a listed company may not, other than in his capacity as a member of our audit committee, our Board of Directors, or any other committee of our Board of Directors: (1) accept, directly or indirectly, any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee from the listed company or any of its subsidiaries; or (2) be an affiliated person of the listed company or any of its subsidiaries.

Board Leadership Structure and Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

Ben Errez is our Chairman of the Board. The Chairman has authority, among other things, to preside over and set the agenda for Board of Directors meetings. Accordingly, the Chairman has substantial ability to shape the work of our Board of Directors. We believe that the presence of three independent members of our Board of Directors ensures appropriate oversight by the Board of Directors of our business and affairs. However, no single leadership model is right for all companies and at all times. The Board of Directors recognizes that depending on the circumstances, other leadership models, such as the appointment of a lead independent director, might be appropriate. Accordingly, the Board of Directors may periodically review its leadership structure. In addition, the Board of Directors holds executive sessions in which only independent directors are present.

Our Board of Directors is generally responsible for the oversight of corporate risk in its review and deliberations relating to our activities. Our principal source of risk falls into two categories, financial and product commercialization.

Our audit committee oversees the management of financial risks; our Board of Directors regularly reviews information regarding our cash position, liquidity and operations, as well as the risks associated with each. The Board of Directors regularly reviews plans, results and potential risks related to our business, growth, and strategies. Our compensation committee oversees risk management as it relates to our compensation plans, policies and practices for all employees including executives and directors, particularly whether our compensation programs may create incentives for our employees to take excessive or inappropriate risks which could have a material adverse effect on our company.

41

Board Committees

The Board has established the following three standing committees: audit committee; compensation committee; and nominating and governance committee or nominating committee. Each of our independent directors, Mr. Montoya, Ms. Baer and Mr. Laniado, serves on each committee, with Mr. Montoya also serving as chairman of each committee. Our Board has adopted written charters for each of these committees. Copies of the charters are available on our website. Our Board may establish other committees as it deems necessary or appropriate from time to time.

Audit Committee

The audit committee is responsible for, among other matters:

● Appointing, compensating, retaining, evaluating, terminating, and overseeing our independent registered public accounting firm;

● discussing with our independent registered public accounting firm the independence of its members from its management;

● reviewing with our independent registered public accounting firm the scope and results of their audit;

● approving all audit and permissible non-audit services to be performed by our independent registered public accounting firm;

● overseeing the financial reporting process and discussing with management and our independent registered public accounting firm the interim and annual financial statements that we file with the SEC;

● reviewing and monitoring our accounting principles, accounting policies, financial and accounting controls, and compliance with legal and regulatory requirements;

● coordinating the oversight by our Board of our code of business conduct and our disclosure controls and procedures;

● establishing procedures for the confidential and/or anonymous submission of concerns regarding accounting, internal controls or auditing matters;

● overseeing and making applicable determinations under the Company’s Executive Compensation Clawback Policy;

● reviewing and approving related-person transactions; and

● appointing, compensating, retaining, evaluating, terminating, and overseeing our independent registered public accounting firm.

42

The Board has reviewed the independence of our directors based on the listing standards of Nasdaq. Based on this review, the Board has determined that Mr. Montoya, Ms. Baer and Mr. Laniado all meet the definition of “independent director” for purposes of serving on an audit committee under Rule 10A-3 and Nasdaq rules. The Board has determined that Mr. Montoya qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert,” as such term is defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K.

Compensation Committee

The compensation committee is responsible for, among other matters:

● reviewing key employee compensation goals, policies, plans and programs;

● overseeing and making applicable determinations under the Company’s Executive Compensation Clawback Policy;

● reviewing and approving the compensation of our directors and executive officers;

● reviewing and approving employment agreements and other similar arrangements between us and our executive officers; and

Nominating Committee

The purpose of the nominating committee is to assist the Board in identifying qualified individuals to become Board members, in determining the composition of the Board, evaluating director compensation, and in monitoring the process to assess Board effectiveness.

Director Attendance at Annual Meetings of Stockholders

We do not have a formal policy regarding the attendance of directors at our annual meetings of stockholders, but we encourage all directors to make every effort to attend all annual meetings of stockholders and believe that attendance at annual meetings is just as important as attendance at Board of Directors and committee meetings.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

Our Board of Directors adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to our directors, officers, and employees. A copy of this code is available on our website at investors.ryvyl.com/governance/charter-documents. We intend to disclose on our website any amendments to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and any waivers of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that apply to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, controller, or persons performing similar functions.

43

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s directors, executive officers and holders of more than 10% of the Company’s Common Stock to file reports relating to their ownership and changes in ownership of our Common Stock with the SEC. Based on a review of Forms 3, 4 and 5 and any amendments thereto filed with the SEC and stockholder reports from our transfer agent and written representations that no other reports were required, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, our officers, directors and 10% or more stockholders complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to them, except that (i) Mr. Errez filed four late Form 4s covering a total of four transactions; (ii) Mr. Nisan filed three late Form 4s covering a total of three transactions; (iii) Ms. Baer filed one late Form 4 covering one transaction; (iv) Mr. Laniado filed two late Form 4s covering a total of two transactions; and (vi) Mr. Montoya filed three late Form 4s covering a total of three transactions. The Company has requested all Section 16(a) officers provide power of attorney to the in-house legal team to ensure timely approvals and filing of Section 16(a) reports and has implemented an equity management software as of the first quarter of 2025 to assist with timely recording and reporting.

Insider Trading Policy

On February 15, 2024, we adopted insider trading policies and procedures governing the purchase, sale, and/or other dispositions of our securities by directors, officers, and employees, which are reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and applicable Nasdaq listing standards (the “Insider Trading Policy”).

The foregoing description of the Insider Trading Policy does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Insider Trading Policy, which can be found in Exhibit 19.1 incorporated herein by reference.

Narrative to Summary Compensation Table

Employment and Consulting Contracts, Termination of Employment, and Change-in-Control Arrangements

The Company has not entered into employment agreements or other compensation agreements with its executive officers. All employee contracts are “at will.” There are no potential payments payable to the named executive officers upon a termination of employment in connection with a change in control.

Equity Incentive Plan

The Company maintains one stock option plan, the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2023 EIP”). The 2023 EIP was adopted by our Board of Directors on September 11, 2023, and thereafter timely approved by our stockholders. The 2023 EIP was subsequently amended on October 15, 2024, and thereafter timely approved by our stockholders.

Share Reserve

The 2023 EIP reserved an aggregate of 5,098,262 shares of common stock available for equity incentive awards. As of March 24, 2025, the 2023 EIP has 4,224,705 shares of common stock available for new incentive awards.

If any options granted expire or terminate without being exercised, both the 2023 EIP option plans provides that the shares covered thereby are added back to the plan’s share reserve and become available for stock equity incentive option awards to other participants.

Administration

Our Board of Directors have appointed Ben Errez as administrator of the 2023 EIP. The administrator has the full power to grant options, to determine the persons eligible to receive such equity grants, and to determine the amount, type and terms and conditions of each such grants.

Eligibility

Employees, directors, or consultants of the Company or any of our affiliates, as selected from time to time by the plan administrator in its discretion, are eligible to participate in the equity incentive plan.

Types of Awards

The equity incentive plans permits the granting of options intended to qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and options that do not so qualify. Options granted under the equity incentive stock option plans will be nonstatutory options if they fail to qualify as incentive stock options or exceed the annual limit on incentive stock options. Incentive stock options may only be granted to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. Nonstatutory options may be granted to any persons eligible to receive awards under the stock option plans.

The plan administrator shall determine the purchase price (the “option price”) for an optionee to exercise the option. For incentive stock options, the option price may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of one share of common stock on the date of grant or, in the case of an incentive stock option granted to a 10% or greater stockholder, 110% of such share’s fair market value. The term of each option will be fixed by the plan administrator and may not exceed ten (10) years from the date of grant (or five years for an incentive stock option granted to a 10% or greater stockholder). The plan administrator will determine at what time or times each option may be exercised, including the ability to accelerate the vesting of such options.

Upon exercise of an option, the option price must be paid in full (i) in cash or by check; (ii) with approval of the plan administrator, by delivery of shares of Company common stock that are beneficially owned by the optionee free of restrictions or were purchased in the open market, provided that if the shares were acquired from the Company, they have been held by the optionee for more than six months; or (iii) with such other form of legal consideration permitted by federal and state law as may be acceptable to the Board.

45

Equitable Adjustments

The 2023 EIP plans provides that the number of shares of common stock covered by each outstanding option, and the price per share thereof set forth in each such option, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of common stock resulting from a subdivision or consolidation of shares or the payment of a stock dividend, or any other increase or decrease in the number of such shares affected without receipt of consideration by the Company.

Transferability of Options

Both stock option plans provides that no option may be transferable by the optionee, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

Term of the Option Plans

The 2023 EIP will expire on November 3, 2033. Although no options may be granted under the plans after such dates, the expiration will not affect the validity of outstanding options.

Amendment and Termination

The Board of Directors may, insofar as permitted by law, from time to time, with respect to any shares of common stock at the time not subject to options, suspend or terminate the 2023 EIP or otherwise revise or amend the equity incentive plan. The Board of Directors must obtain stockholder approval for any revisions that would (i) increase the number of shares subject to the plan, (ii) decrease the price at which options may be granted, (iii) materially increase the benefits to optionees, or (iv) change the class of persons eligible to receive equity grants under the plan. No amendment or termination of the equity incentive plan may alter or impair the rights and obligations under any grants outstanding without the written consent of the grantee thereunder.

46

Each non-employee director has entered into Board of Director Agreements (the “BOD Agreements”). Pursuant to the BOD Agreements, each non-employee director receives cash compensation in the amount of $2,500 per month. Pursuant to the BOD Agreements, each non-employee director will receive equity compensation in the form of shares of Common Stock in an amount equal to $2,500 per month. Each chairman of the independent committees receives cash compensation in the amount of $5,000 per month and equity compensation in the form of shares of Common Stock in an amount equal to $5,000 per month. Additionally, from time to time, each of the independent directors may receive awards pursuant to the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan or opt to receive cash in lieu of stock awards.

Each non-employee director has agreed to execute an indemnification agreement in favor of the Board member substantially in the form of the agreement attached to each BOD Agreement as Exhibit A (the “Indemnification Agreement”). In addition, so long as the Company’s indemnification obligations exist under the Indemnification Agreement, the Company shall provide the Board member with directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage in the amounts specified in the Indemnification Agreement.

The Company will also provide and maintain a 10b5-1 trading plan (the “Plan”) for its Directors and employees. If such Plan is not in effect at the time each month that Mr. Montoya is granted equity (each monthly grant, an “Equity Grant”), then the Company will compensate Mr. Montoya, within three (3) business days of an such Equity Grant, with an additional cash payment in an amount equal to $3,500 (each, a “Grant Tax Payment”) until such date that the Plan is made available to Montoya. Additionally, on the date that any such Equity Grant vests (each, a “Vesting Date”), if the Grant Tax Payment is not at least fifty percent (50%) of the fair market value of on any Vesting Date (each, a “FMV Grant Value”) then the Company, within three (3) business days of any Vesting Date, shall pay Mr. Montoya the difference between (i) the FMV Grant Value and (ii) the Grant Tax Payment.

The following includes a summary of transactions since January 1, 2023 to which we have been a party in which (i) the amount involved exceeded or will exceed $120,000 or one percent (1%) of our average total assets at year-end for the last two completed fiscal years, and (ii) any of our directors, executive officers or, to our knowledge, beneficial owners of more than 5% of our capital stock or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons had or will have a direct or indirect material interest, other than equity and other compensation, termination, change in control and other arrangements, which are described under “Executive Compensation.” We also describe below certain other transactions with our directors, executive officers, and stockholders.

PrivCo

The Company repurchased, in two separate repurchase transactions, each consisting of 100,000 shares of common stock, an aggregate of 200,000 shares owned by PrivCo (an entity controlled by Messrs. Errez and Nisan). In October 2022, the Board unanimously ratified these two repurchase transactions between the Company and PrivCo. The Company repurchased 100,000 shares for a price per share of $55.90 (for total proceeds to PrivCo of $5,590,000) (the “First Repurchase”) and 100,000 shares for a price per share of $8.20 (for total proceeds to PrivCo of $820,000) (the “Second Repurchase”). The First Repurchase was based on the closing price of the common stock on November 24, 2021 and took place over a number of months starting in February 2022 and ending in October 2022. The Second Repurchase was based on the closing price of the common stock on July 29, 2022 and took place in October 2022. The purpose of each of these transactions was to allow the Company to issue shares to new shareholders without increasing the Company’s shares outstanding. As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, there were 11,733 and 100,525 shares available, respectively, of the 200,000 shares of common stock under the aforementioned transactions.

Kenneth Haller

The following are certain transactions between the Company and the Haller Companies. Mr. Haller was an employee of the Company through March 31, 2022.

Sky Financial & Intelligence, LLC – Haller owns 100% of Sky Financial & Intelligence LLC (“Sky”), a Wyoming limited liability company, and serves as its sole Managing Member. Sky is a strategic merchant services company that focuses on high risk merchants and international credit card processing solutions. In 2018, Sky was using GreenBox’s QuickCard payment system as its main payment processing infrastructure, through Sky’s relationship with Mtrac. It was through this successful relationship that we came to know Haller and the Haller Network. Realizing that the Haller Network and Haller’s unique skillset was highly complementary to our business objectives, we commenced discussions to retain Haller through his consulting firm, Sky, for a senior role, directly responsible for growing GreenBox’s operations. Subsequently, in November 2018, Haller was appointed as our Senior Vice President of Payment Systems, for a monthly consulting fee of $10,000, paid to Sky (“Haller Consulting Fee”).

On March 31, 2022, the Company entered into and closed an asset purchase agreement with Sky Financial to purchase a portfolio of certain merchant accounts. The Company paid $16,000,000 in cash at closing and issued 500,000 shares of restricted common stock on May 12, 2022. As of March 31, 2022, Mr. Haller is no longer an employee of the Company. As of December 31, 2024 the Company has not received the delivery of the acquired merchant list and the associated ISO management portal access. The Company wrote-off the entire purchase price during the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company is actively pursuing its entitlements under the purchase agreement. See Note 15, Commitments and Contingencies, for additional information.

Ms. Hogan

Ms. Hogan joined the Board on April 4, 2022 and resigned on April 12, 2023. Ms. Hogan was a Partner and Co-Chair of the Corporate and Securities Practice Group at Lucosky Bookman LLP from March 2021 until November 2022. Lucosky Brookman provided legal services to the Company through July 2023. For the period from January 1, 2022, through April 15, 2023, the Company paid $514,151 in legal fees to Lucosky Brookman.

Mr. Nisan

The Company hired Dan Nusinovich on or about February 19, 2018 as our Development and Testing Manager and he was promoted to Vice President of Development on or about January 12, 2022. Dan is the brother of Fredi Nisan, our CEO and Director. Mr. Nusinovich is paid approximately $260,000 per year.

The Company hired Liron Nusinovich on or about July 16, 2018 as a Risk Analyst and he was promoted to Junior Product Owner on or about February 16, 2022. Mr. Nusinovich is the brother of Fredi Nisan, our CEO and Director. Mr. Nusinovich is paid approximately $131,000 per year.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Shareholders and Board of Directors

RYVYL, Inc.

San Diego, CA

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Ryvyl, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity(deficit), and cash flows for each of the years then ended, 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 at December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Substantial Doubt About 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 described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company transitioned its QuickCard product in North America away from terminal-based to app-based processing on February 2024, which was then terminated on the second quarter of 2024 and the Company then decided to introduce a licensing product for its payments processing platform. This business reorganization has resulted in a significant decline in processing volume and revenue, the recovery of the loss of revenues resulting from this product transition is not expected to occur until late 2025. The loss of revenue has jeopardized its 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 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

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 consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits 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 consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

F-2

Impairment

As described in Notes 2, 5 and 6 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s consolidated Goodwill balances were $18.9 and $26.8 million at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The Company utilized the qualitative assessment when performing annual impairment of goodwill and/or long-lived assets, based on which the management concluded there were $9.7 and $0 impairment as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

We identified impairment as a critical audit matter because the assessment is solely relied on a qualitative assessment result which involves the management’s subjective interpretation of the potential events and circumstances. Auditing these elements involved a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort when performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s interpretation in relation to the potential events and circumstances.

The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included:

● Conducted a comprehensive walkthrough of the financial reporting cycles, specifically focusing on the procedures related to management’s annual evaluation of impairment of goodwill and/or long-lived assets or circumstances indicate.

● Assessed the validity of management’s qualitative analysis and evaluation of pertinent events and circumstances, scrutinizing the financial data utilized in the assessment.

● Independently recalculated the fair value of each reporting unit using the discounted cash flow method, aligning with management’s long-term strategic plan and adjusting for the Company’s current performance.

● Further assessed impairment by comparing the net book value of assets to the Company’s market capitalization.

Modification and Conversion of Senior Convertible Note (the “Note”)

As outlined in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s consolidated balance of a Note amounted to $16.7 and $15.3 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 following modifications made to the Note throughout the years, respectively.

The intricate accounting rules governing senior convertible note modification and conversion necessitate a detailed assessment of future cash flows, particularly considering the variable conversion price and the fair market value of the conversion both before and after modification. Incorrectly applying payment scenarios could result in a significant impact on accounting outcomes.

We identified the Note modification as a critical audit matter because the Company has amended the Note twice in a year. Auditing these elements involved complex auditor judgment due to the nature and extent of audit effort required to address these matters.

The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included:

● Conducted a comprehensive walkthrough of the financial reporting cycles, which encompassed the handling of significant equity and financing transactions.

● Evaluated the expertise of the specialist engaged by the Company to assess the impact of the Note modification. This assessment involved scrutinizing the reasonableness of assumptions made, considering the Company’s historical stock prices, operational performance, third-party market data, and ensuring consistency with evidence obtained elsewhere in the audit.

● Assessed the accounting treatment of the Note modification in accordance with ASC 470 and ASC 815 while also recalculating the cash flow used for 10% testing.

● Assessed the accuracy of accounting entries based on the outcomes of the assessment, including the validation of principal repayment and principal conversion entries made upon modification

● Verified the recognition of the Note by scrutinizing the input of the amortization schedule and recalculating said schedule to ensure accuracy.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Description of the Business and Basis of Presentation

Organization

RYVYL Inc. (“RYVYL”) is a financial technology company that develops software platforms and tools that are focused on providing global payment acceptance and disbursement capabilities. RYVYL’s strategy is rooted in our mission to transform the global payments landscape through technology-driven, customer-centric, and compliance-focused financial solutions. Our first-generation product, QuickCard, was originally developed to facilitate payment processing for predominantly cash-based businesses in certain niche high-risk business verticals. It was a comprehensive physical and virtual payment card processing management system that offered a cloud-based network interface, merchant management, and point-of-sale (POS) connectivity to facilitate noncash payment methods such as credit cards, debit cards and prepaid gift cards, and to subsequently disburse those funds electronically to merchants upon request. In early 2024, in response to evolving changes in the compliance environment and banking regulations, the Company began transitioning QuickCard to a fully virtual, app-based product. In mid-2024, the Company further transitioned its QuickCard product from a direct offering to a licensing model, whereby partners with more suitable compliance capabilities could license the platform from the Company and offer its payments processing capabilities in the same business verticals the Company previously served directly.

As the global fintech industry continues to evolve, it has become evident that there is a need for a fully integrated platform that can seamlessly support multiple types of offerings on a global scale. We believe our second-generation platform, NEMS Core, provides a compelling solution to fill that product void. As a dual-sided platform, NEMS Core is designed to support both acquiring and disbursement services within a unified infrastructure. This end-to-end platform enables businesses to seamlessly accept payments from customers while efficiently distributing funds to vendors, employees, and partners worldwide. Unlike traditional single-function payment systems that often face limitations in adapting to dynamic market demands, RYVYL’s dual-sided platform offers a flexible, agile, and robust architecture. It streamlines the entire transaction lifecycle, from payment initiation to settlement, providing businesses with a competitive advantage in an increasingly interconnected and digital financial environment.

The Company operates through distinct business segments designed to meet the diverse and evolving needs of global markets. Our business is strategically structured around two primary geographic regions - Europe and North America - each offering complementary product and service portfolios that encompass payment processing, treasury management, acquiring, issuing, and Electronic Money Institution (“EMI”) services. Our business segments are interconnected through shared technology platforms, unified compliance frameworks, and collaborative global partnerships. This integration enables us to capitalize on synergies across regions, optimize resource allocation, and drive innovation that resonates across all markets in which we operate.

Name Change

On May 3, 2018, PubCo formally changed its name to GreenBox POS LLC, then subsequently changed its name to GreenBox POS on December 13, 2018. On October 13, 2022 GreenBox POS changed its name to RYVYL Inc. (“RYVYL”). Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to “the Company,” “we,” “our”, “us” and “PubCo” refer to RYVYL Inc. Additionally, unless the context otherwise requires, all references to “PrivCo” or the “Private Company” refer to GreenBox POS LLC, a limited liability company, formed in the state of Washington.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

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

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Going Concern

In February 2024, the Company transitioned its QuickCard product in North America away from terminal-based to app-based processing. This transition was driven by a change in our banking partner that was prompted by recent changes in the compliance environment and banking regulations impacting certain niche high-risk business verticals, which were the predominant revenue driver for QuickCard.

Management planned to recover the loss of revenues resulting from this product transition through the acceleration of business development efforts to launch the new app-based product in existing and new business verticals. However, due to continuous changes in the regulatory environment and our previous banking relationships, during the second quarter of 2024, management determined that the app-based product may not be a viable long-term solution for certain niche high-risk business verticals and made the decision to terminate the rollout of the app-based product in those specific business verticals. To address this change, during the third quarter of 2024, the Company introduced a licensing product for its payments processing platform, which it believes will enable it to serve the same customer base in such verticals through a business partner with more suitable banking compliance capabilities. Revenues from the new licensing product are not expected to materialize until late 2025. Due of this strategy shift as well as a reorganization of the Company’s business to better align with management’s revised strategy, which was executed during the second quarter of 2024, the recovery of the loss of revenues resulting from this product transition is now not expected to occur until late 2025.

F-8

RYYVL INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The decline in revenues resulting from this product transition has adversely impacted the Company’s liquidity in its North America segment in the short term. As a result, management has determined that its cash in the North America segment as of December 31, 2024, will not be sufficient to fund the segment’s operations and capital needs for the next 12 months from the date of this Report. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon the successful execution of management’s intended plan over the next twelve months to improve the liquidity of its North America segment, which includes, without limitation:

● continued execution of its accelerated business development efforts to drive volumes in diversified business verticals with the Company’s other products, including the recently launched licensing of the Company’s payments processing platform in certain niche high-risk business verticals;

● continued implementation of cost control measures to more effectively manage spending in the North America segment and right-sizing the organization, where appropriate;

● the sale of noncore assets;

● continued repatriation of offshore profits from the Company’s European subsidiaries, whose continued accelerated growth and generation of positive cash flow have already provided and will continue to provide, an immediate and viable short-term source of capital during this product transition (to date, the Company has repatriated approximately $17.6 million from Europe); and

● raising capital through a variety of means, including private and public equity offerings and debt financings.

Management has assessed that its intended plan described above, if successfully implemented, is appropriate and sufficient to address the liquidity shortfall in its North America segment and to provide funds to cover operations for the next 12 months from the date of the issuance of this Report. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in implementing our plan, that our projections of our future capital needs will prove accurate, or that any additional funding will be sufficient to continue our operations in the North America segment. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, the Company’s financial condition or operating results will be materially affected. The Company bases its estimates on current and past experience, to the extent that historical experience is predictive of future performance, and other assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The Company evaluates these estimates on an ongoing basis.

Reclassification

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Reverse Stock Split

On September 6, 2023, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to its amended and restated certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada to effect a 1-for-10 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the Company’s shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “common stock”). Such amendment and ratio were previously approved by the board of directors. Under Nevada Revised Statutes Section 78.207, stockholder approval of the Reverse Stock Split was not required because (i) both the number of authorized shares of the common stock and the number of issued and outstanding shares of the common stock were proportionally reduced as a result of the Reverse Stock Split; (ii) the Reverse Stock Split did not adversely affect any other class of stock of the Company; and (iii) the Company did not pay money or issue scrip to stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, which was effective September 6, 2023, every ten shares of the Company’s pre-reverse split outstanding common stock were combined and reclassified into one share of common stock. Proportionate voting rights and other rights of common stockholders were not affected by the Reverse Stock Split. Any fractional shares of common stock resulting from the Reverse Stock Split were rounded up to the nearest whole share. All stock options outstanding and common stock reserved for issuance under the Company’s equity incentive plans outstanding immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split were adjusted by dividing the number of affected shares of common stock by ten and, as applicable, multiplying the exercise price by ten. All share numbers, share prices, exercise prices and per share amounts have been adjusted, on a retroactive basis to reflect this 1-for-10 Reverse Stock Split.

Cash and Restricted Cash

Cash consist of cash on hand and cash on deposit with banks. Restricted cash substantially consists of cash received from gateways for merchant transactions processed, which has yet to be distributed to merchants, ISOs and their agents at the end of the period.

Cash Due from Gateways, Net

The Company generates the majority of its revenue from payment processing services provided to its merchant clients. When a merchant makes a sale, the process of receiving the payment card information and engaging the banks for transferring the proceeds to the merchant’s account via digital gateways, are the primary activities for which the Company gets to collect fees. Cash due from gateways represent amounts due to the Company for transactions processed but not yet distributed by the gateways.

F-10

RYYVL INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The gateways have strict policies pertaining to the scheduling of the release of funds to merchants based on several criteria that include, but are not limited to, return and chargeback history, associated risk for the specific business vertical, average transaction amount, etc. To mitigate potential credit losses associated with these risks, the gateways use these policies to determine reserve requirements and a payment in arrears strategy. While reserve and payment in arrears restrictions are in effect for a merchant payout, the Company records the reserved amounts against cash due from the gateways until the restriction is released.

Cash due from gateways is only applicable to payment processing services provided in North America, as. Ryvyl EU has its own gateway and, therefore, similar receivables are not created.

Payment Processing Liabilities

Payment processing liabilities principally represent funds collected from acquiring transactions that are due to merchants and ISOs, net of amounts earned by the Company on those transactions. It also includes net amounts owed to merchants and ISOs in connection with acquiring transactions processed but which have yet to be received from our third-party gateways. These liabilities are secured by funds held in restricted cash accounts and are presented as Restricted cash in the consolidated balance sheets.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

The Company generates the majority of its revenue from payment processing services. Payment processing services revenue is typically based on a percentage of the value of each transaction processed and/or upon fixed amounts specified for each transaction or service. The Company satisfies its performance obligations and, therefore, recognizes the processing fees as revenue at a point in time, upon the authorization of a merchant sale transaction. The Company also generates revenue from banking services, which primarily include incoming and outgoing ACH and wire transfer transactions. For these transactions, we typically charge specified fees on a per transaction basis, which may vary from customer to customer. The Company satisfies its performance obligation related to these transactions at a point in time, upon the authorization of the transaction in the Company’s payments platform.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs primarily consist of salaries and benefits for research and development personnel and outsourced contracted services, as well as associated supplies and materials. These costs are expensed as incurred.

Internal-use Software Development Costs

Internal-use software development costs consist of the costs related to outsourced consultants who are directly associated with and who devote time to creating and enhancing internally developed software for the Company’s platforms. Internal-use software development activities generally consist of three stages: (i) the preliminary project stage, (ii) the application development stage, and (iii) the postimplementation-operation stage. In accordance with ASC 350-40, Internal Use Software, costs incurred in the preliminary and postimplementation-operation stages of software development are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred in the application development stage, including significant enhancements and upgrades, are capitalized. Capitalized internal-use software development costs are included within intangible assets, net on the consolidated balance sheets, and are amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of three years upon the software or additional features being ready for their intended use.

F-11

RYYVL INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Accounts Receivable, Net

Accounts receivable primarily consist of amounts recorded in connection with the sale of payment processing terminals and related accessories. Accounts receivable are recorded at invoiced amounts, net of an allowance for credit losses, and do not bear interest. In accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (ASC 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), the Company measures its allowance for credit losses using an expected credit loss model that reflects the Company’s current estimate of expected credit losses inherent in the enterprise and the accounts receivable balance. In determining the expected credit losses, the Company considers its historical loss experience, the aging of its accounts receivable balance, current economic and business conditions, and anticipated future economic events that may impact collectability. The Company reviews its allowance for credit losses periodically and, as needed, amounts are written-off when determined to be uncollectible. As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, the allowance for credit losses was immaterial.

Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets

Prepaid expenses and other current assets primarily consist of inventory and deposits made by our European subsidiaries with credit card companies.

Property and Equipment, Net

Property and equipment primarily consist of computer equipment and furniture and fixtures. Property and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to eight years. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. For assets sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any related gain or loss is reflected in income for the period.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company applies fair value accounting for assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined as the price received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, establishes a three-level hierarchy priority for disclosure of assets and liabilities recorded at fair value. The ordering of priority reflects the degree to which objective prices in external active markets are available to measure fair value. The classification of assets and liabilities within the hierarchy is based on whether the inputs to the valuation methodology used for measurement are observable or unobservable. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. The three levels in the hierarchy are as follows:

● Level 1 – Observable inputs, such as unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date.

● Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

● Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that cannot be directly corroborated by observable market data and that typically reflect management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

F-12

RYYVL INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company measures its convertible note and related derivative liability at fair value. The Company classifies these liabilities as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, as fair values are estimated using models that use both observable (e.g., changes in market interest rates) and unobservable (e.g., changes in unobservable long-dated volatilities) inputs.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill is recorded when the consideration paid for the acquisition of a business exceeds the fair value of the identifiable net tangible and intangible assets acquired. ASC 350-20, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Goodwill, requires companies to assess goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. Testing goodwill for impairment is performed at the reporting unit level, using a two-step test, and requires companies to compare the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. Goodwill is considered impaired if the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. ASC 350-20 also provides for an optional qualitative assessment for testing goodwill for impairment that enables companies to skip the two-step test if it is determined that it is more likely than not (i.e., a likelihood of greater than 50%) that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount.

The Company’s policy is to perform its annual impairment test of goodwill as of December 31 of each fiscal year or more frequently if indicators of impairment are identified. Based on the most recent impairment assessment, performed as of June 30, 2024, the Company previously recorded an impairment charge of $6.7 million or one hundred percent (100%) of the goodwill balance related to its North America operating unit. As of December 31, 2024, no impairment indicators were identified that would warrant an updated impairment assessment on the remaining balance of goodwill and, as such, no additional adjustment was required.

Intangible assets consist of acquired customer relationships and business intellectual properties. In accordance with ASC 350-30, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—General Intangibles Other than Goodwill, the Company’s intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives, ranging from two to five years, using the straight-line method. Intangible assets amortized under ASC 350-30 must be reviewed for impairment when indicators of impairment are present, in accordance with ASC 360-10. As of December 31, 2024, management determined that an impairment assessment over intangible assets held in the North America operating unit was required. Based on that assessment, management determined that the carrying value of the Company’s intangible assets in North America was not recoverable and recorded an impairment of $3.0 million or one hundred percent of the carrying balance as of December 31, 2024.

Leases

The Company leases office space under non-cancellable operating leases with various expiration dates. The Company determines whether an arrangement is a lease for accounting purposes at contract inception. Operating leases are recorded as right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, which are included within noncurrent assets, and lease liabilities, which are included within current and noncurrent liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets.

Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term. ROU assets are based on the lease liability and are increased by prepaid lease payments and decreased by lease incentives received, where applicable. The interest rate used to determine the present value of the future lease payments is the Company’s incremental borrowing rate because the interest rate implicit in the Company’s leases is not readily determinable. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate is estimated to approximate the interest rate that the Company would pay to borrow on a collateralized basis with similar terms and payments as the lease, and in economic environments where the leased asset is located. Certain leases require the Company to pay taxes, maintenance, and other operating expenses associated with the leased asset. Such amounts are not included in the measurement of the ROU assets and lease liabilities. These lease costs are recognized as lease expenses when incurred.

RYYVL INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company evaluates ROU assets related to leases for indicators of impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a ROU asset may not be recoverable. When a decision has been made to exit a lease prior to the contractual term or to sublease that space, the Company evaluates the asset for impairment and recognizes the associated impact to the ROU asset and related expense, if applicable. The evaluation is performed at the asset group level initially and when appropriate, at the lowest level of identifiable cash flows, which is at the individual lease level. Undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the related ROU assets are estimated over the ROU assets’ useful lives. If the evaluation indicates that the carrying amount of the ROU assets may not be recoverable, any potential impairment is measured based upon the fair value of the related ROU asset or asset group as determined by appropriate valuation techniques.

Foreign Currency

Assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries are translated into the reporting currency using the exchange rates in effect on the consolidated balance sheet dates. Equity accounts are translated at historical rates, except for the change in retained earnings during the period, which is the result of the income statement translation process. Revenue and expense accounts are translated using the weighted average exchange rate during the period. The cumulative translation adjustments associated with the net assets of foreign subsidiaries are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income in the accompanying consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity.

Stock Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense relates to restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) and stock options granted to employees and non-employee directors under the Company’s equity incentive plans, which are measured based on the grant-date fair value. The fair value of RSAs is determined by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. The fair value of stock options is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model. Generally, stock-based compensation expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements, net of operating loss carry forwards and credits, by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is not more likely than not that some portion of or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Judgment is required in determining and evaluating income tax provisions and valuation allowances for deferred income tax assets. We recognize an income tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position.

Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities. As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company has a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets.

Net Loss Per Share

The Company’s basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period without consideration of potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding, adjusted for the dilutive effect of all potential shares of common stock. For the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company’s diluted net loss per share is the same as the basic net loss per share, since there are no common stock equivalents outstanding that would have a dilutive effect.

Segment Reporting

The Company reports its segments to reflect the manner in which its CODM reviews and assesses performance. The Company’s CODM is its CEO. The primary financial measures used by the CODM to evaluate the performance of its segments and allocate resources to them are revenue and gross profit.

The Company has two reportable segments: North America and International. The CODM uses segment revenue and gross profit for each segment during the annual budgeting and forecasting process. Further, the CODM uses segment revenue and gross profit as the metrics to assess the business trajectory of each segment on a quarterly basis, and to make investment decisions and allocate operating resources to each segment. The CODM does not evaluate performance or allocate resources based on segment asset data. Assets are reviewed on a consolidated basis. As such, segment asset data is not provided.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 aims to simplify the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). The amendments expand segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM, the amount and description of other segment items, permits companies to disclose more than one measure of segment profit or loss, and requires all annual segment disclosures to be included in the interim periods. The amendments do not change how an entity identifies its operating segments, aggregates those operating segments, or applies quantitative thresholds to determine its reportable segments. The Company adopted this guidance effective for the annual reporting period beginning January 1, 2024, and has applied the guidance retrospectively. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Refer to Note 15, Segment Reporting, for further details.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60): Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets. This amended guidance requires fair value measurement of certain crypto assets each reporting period with the changes in fair value reflected in net income. The amendments also require disclosures of the name, fair value, units held, and cost bases for each significant crypto asset held and annual reconciliations of crypto asset holdings. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are required to apply these amendments as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the guidance is adopted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have an impact on our consolidated financial statements, as we currently do not hold any crypto assets.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amended guidance enhances income tax disclosures primarily related to the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information.

It also requires disaggregating individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid (net of refunds received) is equal to or greater than 5 percent of total income taxes paid (net of refunds received). The amended guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The guidance can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact this amended guidance may have on the footnotes to our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024 03”), and in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01, Clarifying the Effective Date (“ASU 2025-01”). The amendments are intended to enhance disclosures regarding an entity’s costs and expenses by requiring additional disaggregated information disclosures about certain income statement expense line items. The amendments, as clarified by ASU 2025-01, are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect of adopting the new disclosure requirements.

3. Acquisitions

Logicquest Technology, Inc.

In April 2023, the Company executed a purchase agreement for 99.4 million shares of restricted common stock of Logicquest Technology, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Logicquest”) representing ownership of 99.1% of Logicquest, 48 shares of Series C Convertible Non-Redeemable Preferred Stock of Logicquest, and 10 shares of Series D Convertible Non-Redeemable Preferred Stock of Logicquest, in exchange for an aggregate purchase price of $225,000. Logicquest was a shell company (as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act) quoted on the Over-the-Counter Pink Open Market under the symbol “LOGQ” and is required to file reports and other information with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act. In June 2023, the Company merged the assets of Coyni, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Logicquest, with Logicquest as the surviving entity. Subsequently, Logicquest changed its name to Coyni, Inc. (“Coyni PubCo”). In the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company amended the share purchase agreement to reflect 98 million shares of restricted common stock of Logicquest, 48 shares of Series C Convertible Non-Redeemable Preferred Stock of Logicquest, and 10 shares of Series D Convertible Non-Redeemable Preferred Stock of Logicquest, in exchange for an aggregate purchase price of $225,000. In accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, this transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition and the acquired assets are included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2024.

As previously disclosed, the Company originally intended to transfer the Coyni Platform assets, which are owned by the Company, into Coyni PubCo, and subsequently spin-off Coyni PubCo into a new publicly traded entity. However, we subsequently determined that it was in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders to retain the Coyni Platform at the Company to expand payment processing and banking-as-a-service solutions. As such, management no longer plans to pursue a spin-off of Coyni PubCo.

Merchant Payment Solutions LLC

In November 2021, the Company executed a term sheet to acquire certain Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) business of Merchant Payment Solutions LLC (“MPS”). Upon execution of the term sheet, the Company made a refundable earnest money deposit in the amount of $725,000 toward the total purchase price. After conducting due diligence, the Company elected to terminate the term sheet on April 21, 2023. In June 2023, the Company and MPS agreed to finalize a Portfolio Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired the ACH portfolio of MPS for $725,000. In accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, this transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition.

Senior Convertible Note

On November 8, 2021, the Company sold and issued, in a registered direct offering, an 8% Senior convertible note, originally due November 3, 2023, and subsequently extended to April 5, 2025, in the aggregate original principal amount of $100 million (the “Note”). The Note had an original issue discount of sixteen percent (16%) resulting in gross proceeds of $84 million. The Note was sold pursuant to the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated November 2, 2021 (the “SPA”), between the Company and the investor in the Note (the “Investor”).

The Note was issued on November 8, 2021, pursuant to an indenture dated November 2, 2021 between us and Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as trustee (the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented by a first supplemental indenture thereto, dated November 2, 2021, relating to the Note (the “First Supplemental Indenture” and the Base Indenture as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, the “First Indenture”). The terms of the Note include those provided in the First Indenture and those made part of the First Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act.

First Exchange Agreement

On July 25, 2023, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement (the “First Exchange Agreement”) under which the Company and the Investor agreed to exchange (the “Series A Exchanges”), in two separate exchanges, an aggregate of $22.7 million of the outstanding principal and interest under the Note for 15,000 shares of a newly authorized series of preferred stock of the Company designated as Series A Preferred Convertible Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), the terms of which are set forth in a Certificate of Designations of Rights and Preferences of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of RYVYL Inc. (the “Series A Certificate of Designations”), which the Company filed with the Nevada Secretary of State prior to the initial issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock is further described in Note 9, Convertible Preferred Stock. As part of the First Exchange Agreement, the Company also agreed to allow for the conversion of up to an additional $9.0 million of principal (together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon) of the Note at a conversion price equal to 97.5% of the lower of (x) the then in effect conversion price and (y) the lowest volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock during the five trading days immediately prior to such conversion; and the Investor agreed to waive any interest that would otherwise accrue on the Note during the period commencing on April 1, 2023 through, and including, December 31, 2023.

F-18

RYYVL INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On July 31, 2023, pursuant to the terms of the First Exchange Agreement, the Company closed the initial exchange (the “Initial Series A Exchange”) and issued 6,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock in exchange for $4.3 million of the outstanding principal balance of the Note and $1.7 million of accrued interest. Additionally, upon satisfaction of all applicable closing conditions, including, without limitation, the Company having obtained any stockholder approval required for the consummation of the transactions and the issuance of the common stock issuable upon the conversion of all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock (unless waived by the applicable other party), in the final exchange (the “Final Series A Exchange”), the parties agreed to exchange the remaining $16.7 million of the outstanding principal balance subject to the Series A Exchanges for 9,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock on a date mutually agreed to by the Company and the Investor. The Company determined that the parties’ obligation to exchange the remaining $16.7 million of the outstanding principal balance subject to the Series A Exchanges for 9,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock in the Final Series A Exchange represents an embedded conversion feature that does not require bifurcation and separate valuation because it would not meet the definition of a derivative, if freestanding, under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), as net settlement could not be achieved.

The Company analyzed the changes made to the Note under the First Exchange Agreement under ASC 470-50 to determine if extinguishment accounting was applicable. Under ASC 470-50-40-10, a modification or an exchange that adds or eliminates a substantive conversion option as of the conversion date is always considered substantial and requires extinguishment accounting. Since the First Exchange Agreement added a substantive conversion option, the Company determined that extinguishment accounting was applicable. In accordance with the extinguishment accounting guidance, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of $1.3 million which represents the difference between (a) the fair value of the modified Note and the 6,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued in the Initial Series A Exchange and (b) the carrying amount of the Note and the fair value of the bifurcated embedded derivative immediately prior to giving effect to the First Exchange Agreement.

Second Exchange Agreement

Under the terms of the First Exchange Agreement, a final closing was to be held upon which the Investor was to exchange an additional $16.7 million of principal of the Note into 9,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Unissued Series A Preferred Stock”) which shares of Unissued Series A Preferred Stock were convertible into shares of common stock, in accordance with the terms of the Series A Certificate of Designations.

On November 27, 2023, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement (the “Second Exchange Agreement”) with the Investor under which the Company and the Investor agreed to exchange (the “Series B Exchange”), (i) all of the existing shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued to the Investor in the Initial Series A Exchange, (ii) the right to exchange the shares of Unissued Series A Preferred Stock for an additional $16.7 million of principal of the Note, and (iii) $60.3 million of the outstanding principal under the Note for 55,000 shares of a newly authorized series of preferred stock of the Company designated as Series B Preferred Convertible Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock,” and collectively with the Series A Preferred Stock, the “Preferred Stock”),”), the terms of which are set forth in a Certificate of Designations of Rights and Preferences of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of RYVYL Inc. (the “Series B Certificate of Designations”), which the Company filed with the Nevada Secretary of State prior to the initial issuance of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock is further described in Note 9, Convertible Preferred Stock. As additional consideration for the Series B Exchange, the Company has also agreed to make a cash payment to the Investor in the amount of $3.0 million. As part of the Second Exchange Agreement, the Investor also agreed to forbear from requiring the repayment of the Note (to the extent such repayment obligation arises solely as a result of the occurrence of the maturity date and not with respect to any event of default or redemption rights in the Note or pursuant to the Indenture (as such term is defined in the Second Exchange Agreement)) during the period commencing on November 5, 2024 through, and including, April 5, 2025; and to extend the waiver of payment of interest under the Note through July 1, 2024.

The Company analyzed the changes made to the Note under the Second Exchange Agreement under ASC 470-50 to determine if extinguishment accounting was applicable. Under ASC 470-50-40-10, a modification or an exchange that adds or eliminates a substantive conversion option as of the conversion date is always considered substantial and requires extinguishment accounting. Since the Second Exchange Agreement eliminated a substantive conversion option (the parties’ obligation to exchange the remaining $16.7 million of outstanding principal balance subject to the Series A Exchange for 9,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock in the Final Series A Exchange), the Company determined that extinguishment accounting was applicable. In accordance with the extinguishment accounting guidance, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of $22.5 million which represents the difference between (a) the fair value of the modified Note, the fair value of the 55,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued in the Series B Exchange, and the $3.0 million cash payment made to the Investor, and (b) the carrying amount of the Note, the fair value of the bifurcated embedded derivative immediately prior to giving effect to the Second Exchange Agreement, and the fair value of the existing shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued to the Investor in the Initial Series A Exchange forfeited to the Company by the Investor.

RYYVL INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On November 29, 2023, the Company closed the Series B Exchange, pursuant to which the Company issued to the Investor 55,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and paid the Investor a cash payment in the amount of $3.0 million, in exchange for 6,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock previously issued to the Investor, the right to exchange the shares of Unissued Series A Preferred Stock for an additional $16.7 million of principal of the Note, and the reduction of principal of the Note in the aggregate amount of $60.3 million.

Forbearance Agreement

On May 17, 2024, the Company entered into a Forbearance Agreement (the “Forbearance Agreement”) with the Investor pursuant to which the Investor, in consideration for the Company’s cash payment in the amount of $80,000 as an advance payment of a portion of the next interest payment, in the estimated amount of $380,000, due and payable under the Note on October 1, 2024, agreed to further forbear from requiring the repayment of the Note (to the extent such repayment obligation arises solely as a result of the occurrence of the maturity date and not with respect to any event of default or redemption rights in the Note or pursuant to the Indenture) during the period commencing on April 5, 2025 through, and including, April 5, 2026. The Company analyzed the changes made to the Note under the Forbearance Agreement under ASC 470-60 to determine if the transaction qualified as a troubled debt restructuring. For a debt restructuring to be considered troubled, the debtor must be experiencing financial difficulties and the creditor must have granted a concession. The Company considered the indicators of financial difficulties provided in ASC 470-60 and determined that one or more indicators were present at the time the Forbearance Agreement was entered into, such as the existence of substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Furthermore, the Company determined that the effective borrowing rate on the Note decreased as a result of the changes made to the Note under the Forbearance Agreement and, as such, the Investor granted a concession on the debt. As a result, the changes made to the Note under the Forbearance Agreement were accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring. However, no restructuring gain or corresponding adjustment to the carrying amount of the Note was recorded because the net carrying amount of the Note at the time the Forbearance Agreement was entered into was less than the total undiscounted future principal and interest payments of the restructured Note. The $80,000 cash payment made to the Investor in connection with the Forbearance Agreement was treated as a lender fee and expensed as incurred under the troubled debt restructuring model.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Investor converted $8.55 million of the outstanding Note principal balance into 598,695 shares of the Company’s common stock at a weighted average conversion price of $1.43. In addition, the Company paid the Investor $6.9 million in January 2022 in exchange for cancellation of $6.0 million of the outstanding principal balance. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Investor converted $1.65 million of the outstanding Note principal balance into 527,910 shares of the Company’s common stock at a weighted average conversion price of $1.18. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Investor converted $0.9 million of the outstanding Note principal balance into 823,294 shares of the Company’s common stock at a weighted average conversion price of $1.10.

Ranking

The Note is the senior unsecured obligation of the Company and not the financial obligation of our subsidiaries. Until such date as the principal amount of the Note is $5 million or less, all payments due under the Note will be senior to all other indebtedness of the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries.

Maturity Date

Under its original terms, unless earlier converted, or redeemed, the Note was to mature on November 3, 2023, the second anniversary of the issuance date, which we refer to herein as the “Maturity Date,” subject to the right of the Investor to extend the date:

(i) if an event of default under the Note has occurred and is continuing (or any event shall have occurred and be continuing that with the passage of time and the failure to cure would result in an event of default under the Note) and

As part of the Second Exchange Agreement, the Investor agreed to extend the waiver of payment of interest under the Note through July 1, 2024.

Late Charges

The Company is required to pay a late charge of 15% on any amount of principal or other amounts that are not paid when due.

Conversion

Fixed Conversions at Option of Holder

The holder of the Note may convert all, or any part, of the outstanding principal and interest of the Note, at any time at such holder’s option, into shares of our common stock at an initial fixed conversion price, which is subject to:

● proportional adjustment upon the occurrence of any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination and/or similar transactions; and

● full-ratchet adjustment in connection with a subsequent offering at a per share price less than the fixed conversion price then in effect.

Pursuant to the original terms of the Note, since during the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2022, the Company (i) failed to process at least $750 million in transaction volume or (ii) had revenue that was less than $12 million, the Note’s fixed conversion price then in effect exceeded the greater of (x) the Note’s $1.67 floor and (y) 140% of the market price as of April 1, 2022 (the “Adjustment Measuring Price”), on April 1, 2022, the fixed conversion price automatically adjusted to the Adjustment Measuring Price.

As part of the Restructuring Agreement, the Company agreed to allow for the conversion of up to $4.5 million of principal (together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon) of the Note at a conversion price equal to the lesser of (i) $2.40 and (ii) 97.5% of the lower of (x) the then in effect conversion price and (y) the lowest volume weighted average price of our common stock during the five trading days immediately prior to such conversion.

As part of the First Exchange Agreement, the Company agreed to allow for the conversion of up to an additional $9.0 million of principal (together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon) of the Note at a conversion price equal to 97.5% of the lower of (x) the then in effect conversion price and (y) the lowest volume weighted average price of our common stock during the five trading days immediately prior to such conversion.

1-Year Alternate Optional Conversion

At any time following the first anniversary of the issuance date of the Note, but only if the closing bid price of our common stock on the immediately prior trading day is less than $6.50, the holder of the Note shall have the option to convert, at such holder’s option, pro rata, up to $30 million of the principal amount of the Note (in $250,000 increments) at the “alternate optional conversion price,” which is equal to the lower of (i) the then in effect conversion price and (ii) the greater of (x).the Note’s $1.67 floor price or (y) 98% of the market price on the conversion date.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Alternate Event of Default Optional Conversion

If an event of default has occurred under the Note, the holder may alternatively elect to convert the Note (subject to an additional 15% redemption premium) at the “alternate event of default conversion price” equal to the lesser of:

● the fixed conversion price then in effect; and

the greater of:

● the floor price; and

● 80% of the lowest volume weighted average price of our common stock during the five trading days immediately prior to such conversion.

Beneficial Ownership Limitation

The Note may not be converted, and shares of common stock may not be issued under the Note if, after giving effect to the conversion or issuance, the applicable holder of the Note (together with its affiliates, if any) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock, which is referred to herein as the “Note Blocker”. The Note Blocker may be raised or lowered to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% at the option of the applicable holder of the Note, except that any raise will only be effective upon 61 days’ prior notice to us.

Change of Control Redemption Right

In connection with a change of control of the Company, the holder may require us to redeem in cash, all or any portion, of the Note at a 15% redemption premium to the greater of the face value, the equity value of our Common Stock underlying the Note, and the equity value of the change of control consideration payable to the holder of our common stock underlying the Note.

The equity value of our common stock underlying the Note is calculated using the greatest closing sale price of our common stock during the period immediately preceding the consummation or the public announcement of the change of control and ending the date the holder gives notice of such redemption.

The equity value of the change of control consideration payable to the holder of our common stock underlying the Note is calculated using the aggregate cash consideration and aggregate cash value of any non-cash consideration per share of our common stock to be paid to the holders of our common stock upon the change of control.

Events of Default

Under the terms of the First Supplemental Indenture, the events of default contained in the Base Indenture shall not apply to the Note. Rather, the Note contains standard and customary events of default including but not limited to: (i) the suspension from trading or the failure to list the Company’s common stock within certain time periods; (ii) failure to make payments when due under the Notes; and (iii) bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company.

If an event of default occurs, the holder may require us to redeem all or any portion of the Note (including all accrued and unpaid interest and late charges thereon), in cash, at a 15% redemption premium to the greater of the face value and the equity value of the Company’s common stock underlying the Note.

The equity value of the Company’s common stock underlying the Note is calculated using the greatest closing sale price of the Company’s common stock on any trading day immediately preceding such event of default and the date the Company makes the entire payment required.

Company Optional Redemption Rights

At any time no event of default exists, the Company may redeem all, but not less than all, of the Note outstanding in cash all, or any portion, of the Note at a 5% redemption premium to the greater of the face value and the equity value of the Company’s common stock underlying the Note.

F-22

RYYVL INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The equity value of the Company’s common stock underlying the Note is calculated using the greatest closing sale price of the Company’s common stock on any trading day during the period commencing on the date immediately preceding such date the Company notifies the applicable holder of such redemption election and the date the Company makes the entire payment required.

The Company recorded debt discount accretion expense of $2.3 million and $13.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

The Company incurred interest expense of $0.7 million and $3.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

Derivative Liability

The senior convertible note contains embedded derivatives representing certain conversion features, redemption rights, and contingent payments upon the occurrence of certain events of default. The Company determined that these embedded derivatives required bifurcation and separate valuation.

The Company utilizes a binomial lattice model to value its bifurcated derivatives included in the note. ASC 815 does not permit an issuer to account separately for individual derivative terms and features embedded in hybrid financial instruments that require bifurcation and liability classification as derivative financial instruments. Rather, such terms and features must be combined and fair-valued as a single compound embedded derivative. The Company selected a binomial lattice model to value the compound embedded derivative because it believes this technique is reflective of all significant assumptions that market participants would likely consider in negotiating the transfer of the note. Such assumptions include, among other inputs, stock price volatility, risk-free rates, credit risk assumptions, early redemption and conversion assumptions, and the potential for future adjustment of the conversion price due to triggering events. Additionally, there are other embedded features of the Note requiring bifurcation, other than the conversion features, which had no value at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, due to management’s estimates of the likelihood of certain events, but that may have value in the future should those estimates change.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in ASC 740, Income Taxes (ASC 740). Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had Federal and State Net Operating Loss (“NOL”) carryforwards of $119.5 million and $77.4 million, respectively. Under the new tax law, the Federal NOL arising in tax years ending after December 31, 2017 will be carried forward indefinitely. The Company does not have pre-tax reform Federal NOL carryforwards as of December 31, 2024. NOL carryforwards arising from tax years ending after December 31, 2017, are $119.5 million. The State NOL carryforwards will begin to expire in 2038.

As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company maintained a full valuation allowance for NOL carryforward deferred tax assets. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be reduced if estimates of future taxable income are reduced.

The Company files a consolidated Federal income tax return and files tax returns in various state and local jurisdictions. The statutes of limitations for its consolidated Federal income tax returns are open for years 2021 and thereafter, and state and local income tax returns are open for years 2020 and thereafter.

Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recognized as a component of income tax expense. For the tax years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company recognized no interest or penalties.

11. Stock-Based Compensation

Equity Incentive Plans

The Company adopted the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (“2023 Plan”) on November 2, 2023, which provides employees, directors, and consultants with opportunities to acquire the Company’s shares, or to receive monetary payments based on the value of such shares. Management has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company to replace the 2020 Incentive and Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan, the 2021 Incentive and Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan, and the 2021 Restricted Stock Plan, with one plan, the 2023 Plan, pursuant to which the Company will be able to grant stock option awards, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, and other stock-based awards. The 2023 Plan provides for up to 1,098,262 shares of common stock. Grants made under the 2023 Plan will generally vest and become exercisable at various times from the grant dates. These awards will have such vesting or other provisions as may be established by the Board of Directors at the time of each award.

The Company repurchased 100,000 shares for a price per share of $55.90 (for total proceeds to PrivCo of $5,590,000) (the “First Repurchase”) and 100,000 shares for a price per share of $8.20 (for total proceeds to PrivCo of $820,000) (the “Second Repurchase”). The First Repurchase was based on the closing price of the common stock on November 24, 2021 and took place over a number of months starting in February 2022 and ending in October 2022. The Second Repurchase was based on the closing price of the common stock on July 29, 2022 and took place in October 2022. The purpose of each of these transactions was to allow the Company to issue shares to new shareholders without increasing the Company’s shares outstanding. As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, there were 11,733 and 100,525 shares available, respectively, of the 200,000 shares of common stock under the aforementioned transactions.

Family Relationships

The Company employs two of our CEO’s brothers, Dan and Liron Nusinovich, who are paid approximately $260,000 and $131,000 per year, respectively. There are no family relationships between any of other directors or executive officers and any other employees or directors or executive officers.

The Company did not pay any commissions to the related parties mentioned above for the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023.

14. Commitments and Contingencies

From time-to-time, the Company is involved in legal proceedings. The Company records a liability for those legal proceedings when it determines it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company also discloses when it is reasonably possible that a material loss may be incurred, however, the amount cannot be reasonably estimated. From time to time, the Company may enter into discussions regarding settlement of these matters, and may enter into settlement agreements, if it believes settlement is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders.

The following is a summary of our current outstanding litigation. Note that references to GreenBox POS are for historical purposes. GreenBox POS changed its name to RYVYL Inc. on October 13, 2022.

●  On November 8, 2022, the Company filed a complaint against its former Chief Operating Officer Vanessa Luna, Luna Consultant Group, LLC and Does 1 through 50 in San Diego Superior Court (the “Company Filing”). The Company alleged that Ms. Luna abused her position for additional compensation, failed to follow proper protocols and breached her fiduciary duties and duty of loyalty by secretly maintaining alternative employment. The action sought damages, including interest and costs of suit incurred. On November 10, 2022, Ms. Luna filed her own complaint against the Company and Fredi Nisan in San Diego Superior Court (the “Luna Filing”). Ms. Luna alleged that Mr. Nisan used contract negotiations to coerce her, that the Company improperly coded transactions and misled investors, and that when her concerns were reported to management, she was wrongfully terminated, resulting in a number of claims. Ms. Luna also alleged sexual misconduct on the part of Mr. Nisan. Ms. Luna sought damages including compensatory damages, unpaid wages (past and future), loss of wages and benefits (past and future), and other damages to be proven at trial. The Company and Mr. Nisan deny all allegations of the Luna Filing. In April 2023, Ms. Luna sought and was granted permission to add Coyni, Inc. as a defendant with regard to her claims. In addition, in August 2024, the Company and Mr. Nisan were granted leave to file a Second Amended Complaint to add additional claims against Ms. Luna, including securities fraud. After vigorously defending against all claims asserted by Ms. Luna and vigorously prosecuting its own claims against Ms. Luna, on October 17, 2024, the parties entered into a confidential settlement agreement. On February 4, 2025, the parties filed with the San Diego Superior Court Requests for Dismissal, dismissing their respective cases with prejudice.

● On December 12, 2022, Jacqueline Dollar (aka Jacqueline Reynolds), former Chief Marketing Officer of the Company, filed a complaint against the Company, Fredi Nisan, and Does 1-20 in San Diego Superior Court. Ms. Dollar is alleging she was undercompensated compared to her male counterparts and retaliated against after raising concerns to management resulting in sex discrimination in violation of the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (“FEHA”) and failure to prevent discrimination in violation of FEHA. Ms. Dollar is also claiming intentional infliction of emotional distress. Ms. Dollar is seeking an unspecified amount of damages related to, among other things, payment of past and future lost wages, stock issuances, bonuses and benefits, compensatory damages, and general, economic, non-economic, and special damages. As the Company cannot predict the outcome of the matter, the probability of an outcome cannot be determined. The Company intends to vigorously defend against all claims. The parties are currently in the discovery phase.

● Since December 2022, the Company has been cooperating with an ongoing investigation by the SEC regarding possible violations of the federal securities laws, which in its course has included a review of the Company’s blockchain technology and former QuickCard business. The Company intends to continue to cooperate fully with the SEC in its investigation. The Company cannot predict the outcome of such investigation or whether it will have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flow.

● On February 1, 2023, a putative class action lawsuit titled Cullen v. RYVYL Inc. fka GreenBox POS, Inc., et al., Case No. 3:23-cv-00185-GPC-AGS, was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California against several defendants, including the Company and certain of our current and former directors and officers (the “Cullen Defendants”). The complaint was filed on behalf of persons who purchased or otherwise acquired the Company’s publicly traded securities between January 29, 2021 and January 20, 2023. The complaint alleged that the Cullen Defendants violated Sections 11, 12(a)(2), and 15 of the Securities Act and Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act by making false and/or misleading statements regarding the Company’s financial controls, performance and prospects. On June 30, 2023, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint. On March 1, 2024, the Court issued an order granting in part and denying in part defendants’ motions to dismiss, which included dismissing all Securities Act claims and narrowing the potential class period. The plaintiff filed a second amended complaint on April 30, 2024, which alleges claims against the Cullen Defendants under Exchange Act Sections 10(b) and 20(a) only and a class period of May 13, 2021 through January 20, 2023. The Company filed its motion to dismiss the second amended complaint on July 1, 2024. On October 21, 2024, the Court issued an order granting in part and denying in part defendants’ motions to dismiss. The scope of the remaining claims is consistent with the Court’s last motion to dismiss decision dated March 1, 2024. On November 12, 2024, Plaintiff filed a Third Amended Complaint, which asserts the same legal causes of action and proposed class period as the previous complaint. On February 28, 2025, the Parties executed a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) that reflects their agreement in principle to settle the claims asserted in this class action. Lead Plaintiff has begun the process of drafting the Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement and exhibits thereto, which, after negotiation and execution by the Parties, will be filed with the Court in connection with Motion for Preliminary Approval of Class Action Settlement. The Parties intend to move for preliminary approval of the proposed settlement as soon as practicable after the final settlement agreement is executed. There is no assurance, however, that the settlement will be completed and/or that the Court will approve it. The Cullen Defendants continue to deny any and all liability and allegations set forth in the pending Third Amended Complaint.

● On June 22, 2023, a shareholder derivative complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California against certain of the Company’s current and/or former officers and directors (the “Hertel Defendants”), Christy Hertel, derivatively on behalf of RYVYL Inc., f/k/a GreenBox POS v. Ben Errez et al., Case No. 3:23-CV-01165-GPC-SBC. On August 4, 2023, a second shareholder derivative complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California against the Hertel Defendants, Marcus Gazaway, derivatively on behalf of RYVYL Inc., f/k/a GreenBox POS v. Ben Errez et al., Case No. 3:23-CV-01425-LAB-BLM. Both derivative complaints generally allege that the Hertel Defendants failed to implement adequate internal controls that would prevent false and misleading financial information from being published by the Company and that controlling shareholders participated in overpayment misconduct resulting in violations of Sections 10(b), 14(a) and 20 of the Exchange Act and breached their fiduciary duties and, purportedly on behalf of the Company. On April 2, 2024, the Court granted the parties’ joint motion for an order consolidating the Hertel and Gazaway cases under the caption In re RYVYL Inc. Derivative Litigation, Lead Case No. 3:23-CV-01165-GPC-SBC (S.D. Cal.). On May 6, 2024, the Court issued an order staying the action until after the final resolution of any motion to dismiss the securities class action detailed above. On May 1, 2024, a third nearly identical shareholder derivative complaint was filed in Clark County, Nevada by plaintiff Christina Brown, derivatively on behalf of RYVYL, Inc., v. Ben Errez et al., Case No. A-24-892382-C. The Company currently is working with Ms. Brown’s counsel to coordinate a stay of the Nevada action on the same terms as the stay of the Hertel and Gazaway cases.   The complaint seeks damages and contribution from the Hertel Defendants and a direction that the Company and the Hertel Defendants take actions to reform and improve corporate governance and internal procedures to comply with applicable laws. The Hertel Defendants deny all allegations of liability and intend to vigorously defend against all claims. However, given the preliminary stage of the lawsuits, the uncertainty of litigation, and the legal standards that must be met for success on the merits, the Company cannot predict the outcome of either case at this time.

●  On October 1, 2023, the Company filed a demand for arbitration against Sky Financial with the American Arbitration Association in San Diego, California (the “Arbitration”). In the Arbitration, the Company seeks to recover for breach of contract and Sky Financial’s failure to perform its obligations On October 2, 2023, the Company filed a complaint against Sky Financial in San Diego Superior Court asserting the same claims asserted in the Arbitration, solely to toll any applicable statutes of limitations pending the Arbitration and, if necessary, provide jurisdiction for the court to compel arbitration. The action seeks damages, including interest and costs of suit incurred. The parties agreed to proceed in the Arbitration and to implement the steps needed to extend the current stay of the San Diego Superior Court action pending the Arbitration. Subsequently, the parties agreed to stay the Arbitration and attend mediation. A mediation was scheduled but then vacated by stipulation of the parties. The parties have agreed to continue the stay of the Arbitration pending a mediation, which is to be re-scheduled.

●  On July 6, 2022, the Company’s subsidiary, RYVYL EU (formerly known as Transact Europe OOD), received a notary invitation from Satya Consulting PTE Limited (“Satya”) filed in Bulgaria. In the filed claim, Satya alleges nonpayment of its fee in the amount of EUR 900,000, to which statutory default interest is to be added, for failure of payment under the Company’s stock purchase agreement for Transact Europe Holdings OOD. RYVYL EU has retained Bulgarian counsel to assist in the defense of the asserted claim and denies all allegations. As RYVYL EU cannot predict the outcome of the matter, the probability of an outcome cannot be determined. RYVYL EU intends to vigorously defend against all claims. On October 18, 2024, RYVYL EU entered into a confidential settlement agreement with no material impact to the Company. The Court approved the settlement and the case was dismissed on November 23, 2024.

●  On January 2, 2024, the Company filed a Statement of Claim against Chessa Sabourin in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. Case No. CV-24-00712190-0000. The Company seeks to recover funds unlawfully held by Sabourin, or in the alternative, damages in the equivalent amount. Additionally, punitive and exemplary damages. In September 2023, the Company mistakenly sent funds to Ms. Sabourin and attempted to reverse or recall the transfers but was unable to do so. To date, Ms. Sabourin has failed and/or refused to return the funds mistakenly sent to her. On October 21, 2024, the Court issued a default judgment against Sabourin.

● On June 25, 2024, J. Drew Byelick, a former Chief Financial Officer of the Company, filed a complaint against the Company in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California, Case No. ’24CV1096 JLS MSB. Mr. Byelick alleged breach of contract, fraudulent inducement of employment, along with intentional misrepresentation and concealment. The Company moved to dismiss the complaint for failure to state a claim and for other violations of the federal rules of civil procedure. The Court granted that motion on December 20, 2024, but permitted Mr. Byelick to file an amended complaint. Mr. Byelick filed his first amended complaint on January 19, 2025, asserting the same core claims. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the first amended complaint on February 3, 2025, which has been set for hearing on April 11, 2025. The Company denies all allegations of liability and intends to vigorously defend against all claims. However, given the preliminary stage of the lawsuit, the uncertainty of litigation, and the legal standards that must be met for success on the merits, the Company cannot predict the outcome at this time or estimate a reasonably possible loss or range of loss that may result from this action.

15. Segment Reporting

The Company reports its segments to reflect the manner in which its CODM reviews and assesses performance. The Company’s CODM is its CEO. The primary financial measures used by the CODM to evaluate the performance of its segments and allocate resources to them are revenue and gross profit.

The Company has two reportable segments: North America and International. The CODM uses segment revenue and gross profit for each segment during the annual budgeting and forecasting process. Further, the CODM uses segment revenue and gross profit as the metrics to assess the business trajectory of each segment on a quarterly basis, and to make investment decisions and allocate operating resources to each segment. The CODM does not evaluate performance or allocate resources based on segment asset data. Assets are reviewed on a consolidated basis. As such, segment asset data is not provided.

The following tables present revenue and gross profit information for each of our reportable segments (dollars in thousands):

16. Subsequent Events

Preferred Stock Repurchase and Note Repayment Agreement

On January 23, 2025, the Company entered into a Preferred Stock Repurchase and Note Repayment Agreement (the “Repurchase Agreement”) with a securityholder of the Company (the “Securityholder”), which provides for repayment of the outstanding balance of an 8% Senior Convertible Note issued to the Securityholder on November 8, 2021 (the “Note”), which Note was originally due on November 5, 2023, and which maturity date was extended through April 5, 2026, pursuant to subsequent extensions provided by the Securityholder. Additionally, pursuant to two Exchange Agreements between the Company and the Securityholder entered into on July 25, 2023 and November 27, 2023, respectively, a portion of the outstanding balance of the Note was exchanged for 55,000 shares of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series B Preferred Shares”).

Pursuant to terms of the Repurchase Agreement, in consideration for an aggregate payment of $17,000,000 by the Company to the Securityholder (the “Repurchase Price”), (i) the entire outstanding principal balance of the Note, including all accrued and unpaid interest, shall be deemed to have been paid and (ii) all outstanding Series B Preferred Shares held by the Securityholder will be repurchased by the Company.

The Repurchase Agreement provides for the payment of the Repurchase Price in two installments, the first in the amount of $13 million (the “First Installment”), which was paid on January 27, 2025. The second installment, in the amount of $4 million (the “Second Installment”), is due and payable on or before April 30, 2025 (the “Second Installment Date”), and the maturity date of the Note is advanced to such date. Upon the payment of the First Installment, all Series B Preferred Shares held by the Securityholder were repurchased.

The Repurchase Agreement further provides that, during the period from the payment of the First Installment until the Second Installment Date, no interest will accrue on the remaining balance of the Note and certain restrictive covenants under the Note will be temporarily waived. If the Company fails to make the Second Installment on or before the Second Installment Date, then interest will continue to accrue again on the outstanding balance of the Note and all other terms of the Note will also be restored as they were prior to the date the First Installment was paid.

Stock Purchase Agreement and Financing

On January 23, 2025, in connection with the Company’s securing financing (the “Financing”), the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “SPA”) with a purchaser (the “Purchaser”), which provides for the sale to the Purchaser of all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock (the “Ryvyl EU Shares”) of the Company’s indirect subsidiary domiciled in Bulgaria, Ryvyl (EU) EAD (“Ryvyl EU”), by Transact Europe Holdings EOOD, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, also domiciled in Bulgaria (“Transact Europe”) for an aggregate purchase price of $15,000,000 (the “Financing Purchase Price”). Under the terms of the SPA, the Company was required to use $13 million of the net proceeds raised in the Financing to pay the First Installment of the Repurchase Price.

On January 23, 2025, the Company, Transact Europe and the Purchaser also entered into a Termination Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”). Among other things, the Termination Agreement provides the Company with the right to terminate the SPA and all of the transactions contemplated therein, by paying the Purchaser $16.5 million on or before 90 days after the date of execution of the SPA (April 23, 2025), provided that such date may be extended an additional 30 days (May 23, 2025) in consideration for the Company’s payment of $500,000 to the Purchaser. If the SPA is terminated as a result of such payment by the Company, the Ryvyl EU Shares will not be sold to the Purchaser and will be returned to Transact Europe and the SPA will be void and of no further effect, except for some provisions that survive termination. In the event that the SPA is not so terminated, then the Purchaser will close on its purchase of the Ryvyl EU Shares; provided, however, if the Purchaser is unable to close for any reason other than the Company’s breach, including the inability to obtain any regulatory clearances required for such transfer, then the Company is liable for damages in the amount of $16.5 million. In the event that the Purchaser is unable to close on the transfer of the Ryvyl EU Shares, as a result of the Company’s breach, then the Company is liable for damages in an amount equal to the appraised value of the Ryvyl EU Shares.

1. Description of the Business and Basis of Presentation

Organization

RYVYL Inc. (“RYVYL”) is a financial technology company that develops software platforms and tools that are focused on providing global payment acceptance and disbursement capabilities. RYVYL’s strategy is rooted in our mission to transform the global payments landscape through technology-driven, customer-centric, and compliance-focused financial solutions. Our first-generation product, QuickCard, was originally developed to facilitate payment processing for predominantly cash-based businesses in certain niche high-risk business verticals. It was a comprehensive physical and virtual payment card processing management system that offered a cloud-based network interface, merchant management, and point-of-sale (POS) connectivity to facilitate noncash payment methods such as credit cards, debit cards and prepaid gift cards, and to subsequently disburse those funds electronically to merchants upon request. In early 2024, in response to evolving changes in the compliance environment and banking regulations, the Company began transitioning QuickCard to a fully virtual, app-based product. In mid-2024, the Company further transitioned its QuickCard product from a direct offering to a licensing model, whereby partners with more suitable compliance capabilities could license the platform from the Company and offer its payments processing capabilities in the same business verticals the Company previously served directly.

As the global fintech industry continues to evolve, it has become evident that there is a need for a fully integrated platform that can seamlessly support multiple types of offerings on a global scale. We believe our second-generation platform, NEMS Core, provides a compelling solution to fill that product void. As a dual-sided platform, NEMS Core is designed to support both acquiring and disbursement services within a unified infrastructure. This end-to-end platform enables businesses to seamlessly accept payments from customers while efficiently distributing funds to vendors, employees, and partners worldwide. Unlike traditional single-function payment systems that often face limitations in adapting to dynamic market demands, RYVYL’s dual-sided platform offers a flexible, agile, and robust architecture. It streamlines the entire transaction lifecycle, from payment initiation to settlement, providing businesses with a competitive advantage in an increasingly interconnected and digital financial environment.

The Company operates through distinct business segments designed to meet the diverse and evolving needs of global markets. Our business is strategically structured around two primary geographic regions - Europe and North America - each offering complementary product and service portfolios that encompass payment processing, treasury management, acquiring, issuing, and Electronic Money Institution (“EMI”) services. Our business segments are interconnected through shared technology platforms, unified compliance frameworks, and collaborative global partnerships. This integration enables us to capitalize on synergies across regions, optimize resource allocation, and drive innovation that resonates across all markets in which we operate.

Name Change

On May 3, 2018, PubCo formally changed its name to GreenBox POS LLC, then subsequently changed its name to GreenBox POS on December 13, 2018. On October 13, 2022 GreenBox POS changed its name to RYVYL Inc. (“RYVYL”). Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to “the Company,” “we,” “our”, “us” and “PubCo” refer to RYVYL Inc. Additionally, unless the context otherwise requires, all references to “PrivCo” or the “Private Company” refer to GreenBox POS LLC, a limited liability company, formed in the state of Washington.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Going Concern

In February 2024, the Company transitioned its QuickCard product in North America away from terminal-based to app-based processing. This transition was driven by a change in our banking partner that was prompted by recent changes in the compliance environment and banking regulations impacting certain niche high-risk business verticals, which were the predominant revenue driver for QuickCard.

Management planned to recover the loss of revenues resulting from this product transition through the acceleration of business development efforts to launch the new app-based product in existing and new business verticals. However, due to continuous changes in the regulatory environment and our previous banking relationships, during the second quarter of 2024, management determined that the app-based product may not be a viable long-term solution for certain niche high-risk business verticals and made the decision to terminate the rollout of the app-based product in those specific business verticals. To address this change, during the third quarter of 2024, the Company introduced a licensing product for its payments processing platform, which it believes will enable it to serve the same customer base in such verticals through a business partner with more suitable banking compliance capabilities. Revenues from the new licensing product are not expected to materialize until late 2025. Due of this strategy shift as well as a reorganization of the Company’s business to better align with management’s revised strategy, which was executed during the second quarter of 2024, the recovery of the loss of revenues resulting from this product transition is now not expected to occur until late 2025.

The decline in revenues resulting from this product transition has adversely impacted the Company’s liquidity in its North America segment in the short term. As a result, management has determined that its cash in the North America segment as of December 31, 2024, will not be sufficient to fund the segment’s operations and capital needs for the next 12 months from the date of this Report. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon the successful execution of management’s intended plan over the next twelve months to improve the liquidity of its North America segment, which includes, without limitation:

● continued execution of its accelerated business development efforts to drive volumes in diversified business verticals with the Company’s other products, including the recently launched licensing of the Company’s payments processing platform in certain niche high-risk business verticals;

● continued implementation of cost control measures to more effectively manage spending in the North America segment and right-sizing the organization, where appropriate;

● the sale of noncore assets;

● continued repatriation of offshore profits from the Company’s European subsidiaries, whose continued accelerated growth and generation of positive cash flow have already provided and will continue to provide, an immediate and viable short-term source of capital during this product transition (to date, the Company has repatriated approximately $17.6 million from Europe); and

● raising capital through a variety of means, including private and public equity offerings and debt financings.

Management has assessed that its intended plan described above, if successfully implemented, is appropriate and sufficient to address the liquidity shortfall in its North America segment and to provide funds to cover operations for the next 12 months from the date of the issuance of this Report. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in implementing our plan, that our projections of our future capital needs will prove accurate, or that any additional funding will be sufficient to continue our operations in the North America segment. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, the Company’s financial condition or operating results will be materially affected. The Company bases its estimates on current and past experience, to the extent that historical experience is predictive of future performance, and other assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The Company evaluates these estimates on an ongoing basis.

Reclassification

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Reverse Stock Split

On September 6, 2023, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to its amended and restated certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada to effect a 1-for-10 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the Company’s shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “common stock”). Such amendment and ratio were previously approved by the board of directors. Under Nevada Revised Statutes Section 78.207, stockholder approval of the Reverse Stock Split was not required because (i) both the number of authorized shares of the common stock and the number of issued and outstanding shares of the common stock were proportionally reduced as a result of the Reverse Stock Split; (ii) the Reverse Stock Split did not adversely affect any other class of stock of the Company; and (iii) the Company did not pay money or issue scrip to stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, which was effective September 6, 2023, every ten shares of the Company’s pre-reverse split outstanding common stock were combined and reclassified into one share of common stock. Proportionate voting rights and other rights of common stockholders were not affected by the Reverse Stock Split. Any fractional shares of common stock resulting from the Reverse Stock Split were rounded up to the nearest whole share. All stock options outstanding and common stock reserved for issuance under the Company’s equity incentive plans outstanding immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split were adjusted by dividing the number of affected shares of common stock by ten and, as applicable, multiplying the exercise price by ten. All share numbers, share prices, exercise prices and per share amounts have been adjusted, on a retroactive basis to reflect this 1-for-10 Reverse Stock Split.

Cash and Restricted Cash

Cash consist of cash on hand and cash on deposit with banks. Restricted cash substantially consists of cash received from gateways for merchant transactions processed, which has yet to be distributed to merchants, ISOs and their agents at the end of the period.

Cash Due from Gateways, Net

The Company generates the majority of its revenue from payment processing services provided to its merchant clients. When a merchant makes a sale, the process of receiving the payment card information and engaging the banks for transferring the proceeds to the merchant’s account via digital gateways, are the primary activities for which the Company gets to collect fees. Cash due from gateways represent amounts due to the Company for transactions processed but not yet distributed by the gateways.

The gateways have strict policies pertaining to the scheduling of the release of funds to merchants based on several criteria that include, but are not limited to, return and chargeback history, associated risk for the specific business vertical, average transaction amount, etc. To mitigate potential credit losses associated with these risks, the gateways use these policies to determine reserve requirements and a payment in arrears strategy. While reserve and payment in arrears restrictions are in effect for a merchant payout, the Company records the reserved amounts against cash due from the gateways until the restriction is released.

Cash due from gateways is only applicable to payment processing services provided in North America, as. Ryvyl EU has its own gateway and, therefore, similar receivables are not created.

Payment Processing Liabilities

Payment processing liabilities principally represent funds collected from acquiring transactions that are due to merchants and ISOs, net of amounts earned by the Company on those transactions. It also includes net amounts owed to merchants and ISOs in connection with acquiring transactions processed but which have yet to be received from our third-party gateways. These liabilities are secured by funds held in restricted cash accounts and are presented as Restricted cash in the consolidated balance sheets.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

The Company generates the majority of its revenue from payment processing services. Payment processing services revenue is typically based on a percentage of the value of each transaction processed and/or upon fixed amounts specified for each transaction or service. The Company satisfies its performance obligations and, therefore, recognizes the processing fees as revenue at a point in time, upon the authorization of a merchant sale transaction. The Company also generates revenue from banking services, which primarily include incoming and outgoing ACH and wire transfer transactions. For these transactions, we typically charge specified fees on a per transaction basis, which may vary from customer to customer. The Company satisfies its performance obligation related to these transactions at a point in time, upon the authorization of the transaction in the Company’s payments platform.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs primarily consist of salaries and benefits for research and development personnel and outsourced contracted services, as well as associated supplies and materials. These costs are expensed as incurred.

Internal-use Software Development Costs

Internal-use software development costs consist of the costs related to outsourced consultants who are directly associated with and who devote time to creating and enhancing internally developed software for the Company’s platforms. Internal-use software development activities generally consist of three stages: (i) the preliminary project stage, (ii) the application development stage, and (iii) the postimplementation-operation stage. In accordance with ASC 350-40, Internal Use Software, costs incurred in the preliminary and postimplementation-operation stages of software development are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred in the application development stage, including significant enhancements and upgrades, are capitalized. Capitalized internal-use software development costs are included within intangible assets, net on the consolidated balance sheets, and are amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of three years upon the software or additional features being ready for their intended use.

Accounts Receivable, Net

Accounts receivable primarily consist of amounts recorded in connection with the sale of payment processing terminals and related accessories. Accounts receivable are recorded at invoiced amounts, net of an allowance for credit losses, and do not bear interest. In accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (ASC 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), the Company measures its allowance for credit losses using an expected credit loss model that reflects the Company’s current estimate of expected credit losses inherent in the enterprise and the accounts receivable balance. In determining the expected credit losses, the Company considers its historical loss experience, the aging of its accounts receivable balance, current economic and business conditions, and anticipated future economic events that may impact collectability. The Company reviews its allowance for credit losses periodically and, as needed, amounts are written-off when determined to be uncollectible. As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, the allowance for credit losses was immaterial.

Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets

Prepaid expenses and other current assets primarily consist of inventory and deposits made by our European subsidiaries with credit card companies.

Property and Equipment, Net

Property and equipment primarily consist of computer equipment and furniture and fixtures. Property and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to eight years. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. For assets sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any related gain or loss is reflected in income for the period.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company applies fair value accounting for assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined as the price received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, establishes a three-level hierarchy priority for disclosure of assets and liabilities recorded at fair value. The ordering of priority reflects the degree to which objective prices in external active markets are available to measure fair value. The classification of assets and liabilities within the hierarchy is based on whether the inputs to the valuation methodology used for measurement are observable or unobservable. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. The three levels in the hierarchy are as follows:

● Level 1 – Observable inputs, such as unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date.

● Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

● Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that cannot be directly corroborated by observable market data and that typically reflect management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The Company measures its convertible note and related derivative liability at fair value. The Company classifies these liabilities as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, as fair values are estimated using models that use both observable (e.g., changes in market interest rates) and unobservable (e.g., changes in unobservable long-dated volatilities) inputs.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill is recorded when the consideration paid for the acquisition of a business exceeds the fair value of the identifiable net tangible and intangible assets acquired. ASC 350-20, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Goodwill, requires companies to assess goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. Testing goodwill for impairment is performed at the reporting unit level, using a two-step test, and requires companies to compare the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. Goodwill is considered impaired if the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. ASC 350-20 also provides for an optional qualitative assessment for testing goodwill for impairment that enables companies to skip the two-step test if it is determined that it is more likely than not (i.e., a likelihood of greater than 50%) that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount.

The Company’s policy is to perform its annual impairment test of goodwill as of December 31 of each fiscal year or more frequently if indicators of impairment are identified. Based on the most recent impairment assessment, performed as of June 30, 2024, the Company previously recorded an impairment charge of $6.7 million or one hundred percent (100%) of the goodwill balance related to its North America operating unit. As of December 31, 2024, no impairment indicators were identified that would warrant an updated impairment assessment on the remaining balance of goodwill and, as such, no additional adjustment was required.

Intangible assets consist of acquired customer relationships and business intellectual properties. In accordance with ASC 350-30, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—General Intangibles Other than Goodwill, the Company’s intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives, ranging from two to five years, using the straight-line method. Intangible assets amortized under ASC 350-30 must be reviewed for impairment when indicators of impairment are present, in accordance with ASC 360-10. As of December 31, 2024, management determined that an impairment assessment over intangible assets held in the North America operating unit was required. Based on that assessment, management determined that the carrying value of the Company’s intangible assets in North America was not recoverable and recorded an impairment of $3.0 million or one hundred percent of the carrying balance as of December 31, 2024.

Leases

The Company leases office space under non-cancellable operating leases with various expiration dates. The Company determines whether an arrangement is a lease for accounting purposes at contract inception. Operating leases are recorded as right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, which are included within noncurrent assets, and lease liabilities, which are included within current and noncurrent liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets.

Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term. ROU assets are based on the lease liability and are increased by prepaid lease payments and decreased by lease incentives received, where applicable. The interest rate used to determine the present value of the future lease payments is the Company’s incremental borrowing rate because the interest rate implicit in the Company’s leases is not readily determinable. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate is estimated to approximate the interest rate that the Company would pay to borrow on a collateralized basis with similar terms and payments as the lease, and in economic environments where the leased asset is located. Certain leases require the Company to pay taxes, maintenance, and other operating expenses associated with the leased asset. Such amounts are not included in the measurement of the ROU assets and lease liabilities. These lease costs are recognized as lease expenses when incurred.

The Company evaluates ROU assets related to leases for indicators of impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a ROU asset may not be recoverable. When a decision has been made to exit a lease prior to the contractual term or to sublease that space, the Company evaluates the asset for impairment and recognizes the associated impact to the ROU asset and related expense, if applicable. The evaluation is performed at the asset group level initially and when appropriate, at the lowest level of identifiable cash flows, which is at the individual lease level. Undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the related ROU assets are estimated over the ROU assets’ useful lives. If the evaluation indicates that the carrying amount of the ROU assets may not be recoverable, any potential impairment is measured based upon the fair value of the related ROU asset or asset group as determined by appropriate valuation techniques.

Foreign Currency

Assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries are translated into the reporting currency using the exchange rates in effect on the consolidated balance sheet dates. Equity accounts are translated at historical rates, except for the change in retained earnings during the period, which is the result of the income statement translation process. Revenue and expense accounts are translated using the weighted average exchange rate during the period. The cumulative translation adjustments associated with the net assets of foreign subsidiaries are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income in the accompanying consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity.

Stock Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense relates to restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) and stock options granted to employees and non-employee directors under the Company’s equity incentive plans, which are measured based on the grant-date fair value. The fair value of RSAs is determined by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. The fair value of stock options is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model. Generally, stock-based compensation expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements, net of operating loss carry forwards and credits, by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is not more likely than not that some portion of or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Judgment is required in determining and evaluating income tax provisions and valuation allowances for deferred income tax assets. We recognize an income tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position.

Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities. As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company has a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets.

Net Loss Per Share

The Company’s basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period without consideration of potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding, adjusted for the dilutive effect of all potential shares of common stock. For the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company’s diluted net loss per share is the same as the basic net loss per share, since there are no common stock equivalents outstanding that would have a dilutive effect.

Segment Reporting

The Company reports its segments to reflect the manner in which its CODM reviews and assesses performance. The Company’s CODM is its CEO. The primary financial measures used by the CODM to evaluate the performance of its segments and allocate resources to them are revenue and gross profit.

The Company has two reportable segments: North America and International. The CODM uses segment revenue and gross profit for each segment during the annual budgeting and forecasting process. Further, the CODM uses segment revenue and gross profit as the metrics to assess the business trajectory of each segment on a quarterly basis, and to make investment decisions and allocate operating resources to each segment. The CODM does not evaluate performance or allocate resources based on segment asset data. Assets are reviewed on a consolidated basis. As such, segment asset data is not provided.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 aims to simplify the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. ASU 2020-06 also simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity and amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. For SEC filers, excluding smaller reporting companies, ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods therein. The adoption of the new guidance, effective January 1, 2024, did not have an impact on the financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and disclosures of the Company.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). The amendments expand segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM, the amount and description of other segment items, permits companies to disclose more than one measure of segment profit or loss, and requires all annual segment disclosures to be included in the interim periods. The amendments do not change how an entity identifies its operating segments, aggregates those operating segments, or applies quantitative thresholds to determine its reportable segments. The Company adopted this guidance effective for the annual reporting period beginning January 1, 2024, and has applied the guidance retrospectively. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Refer to Note 15, Segment Reporting, for further details.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60): Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets. This amended guidance requires fair value measurement of certain crypto assets each reporting period with the changes in fair value reflected in net income. The amendments also require disclosures of the name, fair value, units held, and cost bases for each significant crypto asset held and annual reconciliations of crypto asset holdings. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are required to apply these amendments as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the guidance is adopted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have an impact on our consolidated financial statements, as we currently do not hold any crypto assets.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amended guidance enhances income tax disclosures primarily related to the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. This guidance requires disclosure of specific categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation and further information on reconciling items meeting a quantitative threshold. In addition, the amended guidance requires disaggregating income taxes paid (net of refunds received) by federal, state, and foreign taxes. It also requires disaggregating individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid (net of refunds received) is equal to or greater than 5 percent of total income taxes paid (net of refunds received). The amended guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The guidance can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact this amended guidance may have on the footnotes to our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024 03”), and in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01, Clarifying the Effective Date (“ASU 2025-01”). The amendments are intended to enhance disclosures regarding an entity’s costs and expenses by requiring additional disaggregated information disclosures about certain income statement expense line items. The amendments, as clarified by ASU 2025-01, are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect of adopting the new disclosure requirements.

3. Acquisitions

Logicquest Technology, Inc.

In April 2023, the Company executed a purchase agreement for 99.4 million shares of restricted common stock of Logicquest Technology, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Logicquest”) representing ownership of 99.1% of Logicquest, 48 shares of Series C Convertible Non-Redeemable Preferred Stock of Logicquest, and 10 shares of Series D Convertible Non-Redeemable Preferred Stock of Logicquest, in exchange for an aggregate purchase price of $225,000. Logicquest was a shell company (as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act) quoted on the Over-the-Counter Pink Open Market under the symbol “LOGQ” and is required to file reports and other information with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act. In June 2023, the Company merged the assets of Coyni, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Logicquest, with Logicquest as the surviving entity. Subsequently, Logicquest changed its name to Coyni, Inc. (“Coyni PubCo”). In the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company amended the share purchase agreement to reflect 98 million shares of restricted common stock of Logicquest, 48 shares of Series C Convertible Non-Redeemable Preferred Stock of Logicquest, and 10 shares of Series D Convertible Non-Redeemable Preferred Stock of Logicquest, in exchange for an aggregate purchase price of $225,000. In accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, this transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition and the acquired assets are included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2024.

As previously disclosed, the Company originally intended to transfer the Coyni Platform assets, which are owned by the Company, into Coyni PubCo, and subsequently spin-off Coyni PubCo into a new publicly traded entity. However, we subsequently determined that it was in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders to retain the Coyni Platform at the Company to expand payment processing and banking-as-a-service solutions. As such, management no longer plans to pursue a spin-off of Coyni PubCo.

Merchant Payment Solutions LLC

In November 2021, the Company executed a term sheet to acquire certain Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) business of Merchant Payment Solutions LLC (“MPS”). Upon execution of the term sheet, the Company made a refundable earnest money deposit in the amount of $725,000 toward the total purchase price. After conducting due diligence, the Company elected to terminate the term sheet on April 21, 2023. In June 2023, the Company and MPS agreed to finalize a Portfolio Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired the ACH portfolio of MPS for $725,000. In accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, this transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition.

Senior Convertible Note

On November 8, 2021, the Company sold and issued, in a registered direct offering, an 8% Senior convertible note, originally due November 3, 2023, and subsequently extended to April 5, 2025, in the aggregate original principal amount of $100 million (the “Note”). The Note had an original issue discount of sixteen percent (16%) resulting in gross proceeds of $84 million. The Note was sold pursuant to the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated November 2, 2021 (the “SPA”), between the Company and the investor in the Note (the “Investor”).

The Note was issued on November 8, 2021, pursuant to an indenture dated November 2, 2021 between us and Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as trustee (the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented by a first supplemental indenture thereto, dated November 2, 2021, relating to the Note (the “First Supplemental Indenture” and the Base Indenture as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, the “First Indenture”). The terms of the Note include those provided in the First Indenture and those made part of the First Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act.

First Exchange Agreement

On July 25, 2023, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement (the “First Exchange Agreement”) under which the Company and the Investor agreed to exchange (the “Series A Exchanges”), in two separate exchanges, an aggregate of $22.7 million of the outstanding principal and interest under the Note for 15,000 shares of a newly authorized series of preferred stock of the Company designated as Series A Preferred Convertible Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), the terms of which are set forth in a Certificate of Designations of Rights and Preferences of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of RYVYL Inc. (the “Series A Certificate of Designations”), which the Company filed with the Nevada Secretary of State prior to the initial issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock is further described in Note 9, Convertible Preferred Stock. As part of the First Exchange Agreement, the Company also agreed to allow for the conversion of up to an additional $9.0 million of principal (together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon) of the Note at a conversion price equal to 97.5% of the lower of (x) the then in effect conversion price and (y) the lowest volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock during the five trading days immediately prior to such conversion; and the Investor agreed to waive any interest that would otherwise accrue on the Note during the period commencing on April 1, 2023 through, and including, December 31, 2023.

On July 31, 2023, pursuant to the terms of the First Exchange Agreement, the Company closed the initial exchange (the “Initial Series A Exchange”) and issued 6,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock in exchange for $4.3 million of the outstanding principal balance of the Note and $1.7 million of accrued interest. Additionally, upon satisfaction of all applicable closing conditions, including, without limitation, the Company having obtained any stockholder approval required for the consummation of the transactions and the issuance of the common stock issuable upon the conversion of all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock (unless waived by the applicable other party), in the final exchange (the “Final Series A Exchange”), the parties agreed to exchange the remaining $16.7 million of the outstanding principal balance subject to the Series A Exchanges for 9,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock on a date mutually agreed to by the Company and the Investor. The Company determined that the parties’ obligation to exchange the remaining $16.7 million of the outstanding principal balance subject to the Series A Exchanges for 9,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock in the Final Series A Exchange represents an embedded conversion feature that does not require bifurcation and separate valuation because it would not meet the definition of a derivative, if freestanding, under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), as net settlement could not be achieved.

The Company analyzed the changes made to the Note under the First Exchange Agreement under ASC 470-50 to determine if extinguishment accounting was applicable. Under ASC 470-50-40-10, a modification or an exchange that adds or eliminates a substantive conversion option as of the conversion date is always considered substantial and requires extinguishment accounting. Since the First Exchange Agreement added a substantive conversion option, the Company determined that extinguishment accounting was applicable. In accordance with the extinguishment accounting guidance, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of $1.3 million which represents the difference between (a) the fair value of the modified Note and the 6,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued in the Initial Series A Exchange and (b) the carrying amount of the Note and the fair value of the bifurcated embedded derivative immediately prior to giving effect to the First Exchange Agreement.

Second Exchange Agreement

Under the terms of the First Exchange Agreement, a final closing was to be held upon which the Investor was to exchange an additional $16.7 million of principal of the Note into 9,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Unissued Series A Preferred Stock”) which shares of Unissued Series A Preferred Stock were convertible into shares of common stock, in accordance with the terms of the Series A Certificate of Designations.

On November 27, 2023, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement (the “Second Exchange Agreement”) with the Investor under which the Company and the Investor agreed to exchange (the “Series B Exchange”), (i) all of the existing shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued to the Investor in the Initial Series A Exchange, (ii) the right to exchange the shares of Unissued Series A Preferred Stock for an additional $16.7 million of principal of the Note, and (iii) $60.3 million of the outstanding principal under the Note for 55,000 shares of a newly authorized series of preferred stock of the Company designated as Series B Preferred Convertible Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock,” and collectively with the Series A Preferred Stock, the “Preferred Stock”),”), the terms of which are set forth in a Certificate of Designations of Rights and Preferences of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of RYVYL Inc. (the “Series B Certificate of Designations”), which the Company filed with the Nevada Secretary of State prior to the initial issuance of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock is further described in Note 9, Convertible Preferred Stock. As additional consideration for the Series B Exchange, the Company has also agreed to make a cash payment to the Investor in the amount of $3.0 million. As part of the Second Exchange Agreement, the Investor also agreed to forbear from requiring the repayment of the Note (to the extent such repayment obligation arises solely as a result of the occurrence of the maturity date and not with respect to any event of default or redemption rights in the Note or pursuant to the Indenture (as such term is defined in the Second Exchange Agreement)) during the period commencing on November 5, 2024 through, and including, April 5, 2025; and to extend the waiver of payment of interest under the Note through July 1, 2024.

The Company analyzed the changes made to the Note under the Second Exchange Agreement under ASC 470-50 to determine if extinguishment accounting was applicable. Under ASC 470-50-40-10, a modification or an exchange that adds or eliminates a substantive conversion option as of the conversion date is always considered substantial and requires extinguishment accounting. Since the Second Exchange Agreement eliminated a substantive conversion option (the parties’ obligation to exchange the remaining $16.7 million of outstanding principal balance subject to the Series A Exchange for 9,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock in the Final Series A Exchange), the Company determined that extinguishment accounting was applicable. In accordance with the extinguishment accounting guidance, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of $22.5 million which represents the difference between (a) the fair value of the modified Note, the fair value of the 55,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued in the Series B Exchange, and the $3.0 million cash payment made to the Investor, and (b) the carrying amount of the Note, the fair value of the bifurcated embedded derivative immediately prior to giving effect to the Second Exchange Agreement, and the fair value of the existing shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued to the Investor in the Initial Series A Exchange forfeited to the Company by the Investor.

On November 29, 2023, the Company closed the Series B Exchange, pursuant to which the Company issued to the Investor 55,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and paid the Investor a cash payment in the amount of $3.0 million, in exchange for 6,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock previously issued to the Investor, the right to exchange the shares of Unissued Series A Preferred Stock for an additional $16.7 million of principal of the Note, and the reduction of principal of the Note in the aggregate amount of $60.3 million.

Forbearance Agreement

On May 17, 2024, the Company entered into a Forbearance Agreement (the “Forbearance Agreement”) with the Investor pursuant to which the Investor, in consideration for the Company’s cash payment in the amount of $80,000 as an advance payment of a portion of the next interest payment, in the estimated amount of $380,000, due and payable under the Note on October 1, 2024, agreed to further forbear from requiring the repayment of the Note (to the extent such repayment obligation arises solely as a result of the occurrence of the maturity date and not with respect to any event of default or redemption rights in the Note or pursuant to the Indenture) during the period commencing on April 5, 2025 through, and including, April 5, 2026. The Company analyzed the changes made to the Note under the Forbearance Agreement under ASC 470-60 to determine if the transaction qualified as a troubled debt restructuring. For a debt restructuring to be considered troubled, the debtor must be experiencing financial difficulties and the creditor must have granted a concession. The Company considered the indicators of financial difficulties provided in ASC 470-60 and determined that one or more indicators were present at the time the Forbearance Agreement was entered into, such as the existence of substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Furthermore, the Company determined that the effective borrowing rate on the Note decreased as a result of the changes made to the Note under the Forbearance Agreement and, as such, the Investor granted a concession on the debt. As a result, the changes made to the Note under the Forbearance Agreement were accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring. However, no restructuring gain or corresponding adjustment to the carrying amount of the Note was recorded because the net carrying amount of the Note at the time the Forbearance Agreement was entered into was less than the total undiscounted future principal and interest payments of the restructured Note. The $80,000 cash payment made to the Investor in connection with the Forbearance Agreement was treated as a lender fee and expensed as incurred under the troubled debt restructuring model.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Investor converted $8.55 million of the outstanding Note principal balance into 598,695 shares of the Company’s common stock at a weighted average conversion price of $1.43. In addition, the Company paid the Investor $6.9 million in January 2022 in exchange for cancellation of $6.0 million of the outstanding principal balance. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Investor converted $1.65 million of the outstanding Note principal balance into 527,910 shares of the Company’s common stock at a weighted average conversion price of $1.18. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Investor converted $0.9 million of the outstanding Note principal balance into 823,294 shares of the Company’s common stock at a weighted average conversion price of $1.10.

Ranking

The Note is the senior unsecured obligation of the Company and not the financial obligation of our subsidiaries. Until such date as the principal amount of the Note is $5 million or less, all payments due under the Note will be senior to all other indebtedness of the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries.

Maturity Date

Under its original terms, unless earlier converted, or redeemed, the Note was to mature on November 3, 2023, the second anniversary of the issuance date, which we refer to herein as the “Maturity Date,” subject to the right of the Investor to extend the date:

(i) if an event of default under the Note has occurred and is continuing (or any event shall have occurred and be continuing that with the passage of time and the failure to cure would result in an event of default under the Note) and

(ii) for a period of 20 business days after the consummation of a fundamental transaction if certain events occur.

We are required to pay, on the Maturity Date, all outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest and accrued and unpaid late charges on such principal and interest, if any.

As part of the Restructuring Agreement entered into with the Investor on August 16, 2022 (the “Restructuring Agreement”), the Company obtained a forbearance of the Maturity Date from November 5, 2023 to November 5, 2024. As part of the Second Exchange Agreement entered into with the Investor on November 27, 2023, the Company obtained a further forbearance of the Maturity Date from November 5, 2024 to April 5, 2025. As part of the Forbearance Agreement entered into with the Investor on May 17, 2024, the Company obtained a further forbearance of the Maturity Date from April 5, 2025 to April 5, 2026.

Interest

The Note bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum which (a) shall commence accruing on the date of issuance, (b) shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and twelve 30-day months and (c) shall be payable in cash quarterly in arrears on the first trading day of each calendar quarter or otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Note. If the holder elects to convert or redeem all or any portion of the Note prior to the Maturity Date, all accrued and unpaid interest on the amount being converted or redeemed will also be payable. If we elect to redeem all or any portion of the Note prior to the Maturity Date, all accrued and unpaid interest on the amount being redeemed will also be payable. The interest rate of the Note will automatically increase to 15% per annum upon the occurrence and continuance of an event of default (See “Events of Default” below).

Subject to the satisfaction of certain equity conditions, the terms of the Restructuring Agreement require the holder to voluntarily convert certain interest payments when due under the Note at 95% of the lower of (i) the then in effect conversion price and (ii) the lowest volume weighted average price of our common stock during the five trading days immediately prior to such conversion.

As part of the First Exchange Agreement, the Investor agreed to waive any interest that would otherwise accrue on the Note during the period commencing on April 1, 2023 through, and including, December 31, 2023. As part of the Second Exchange Agreement, the Investor agreed to extend the waiver of payment of interest under the Note through July 1, 2024.

Late Charges

The Company is required to pay a late charge of 15% on any amount of principal or other amounts that are not paid when due.

Conversion

Fixed Conversions at Option of Holder

The holder of the Note may convert all, or any part, of the outstanding principal and interest of the Note, at any time at such holder’s option, into shares of our common stock at an initial fixed conversion price, which is subject to:

● proportional adjustment upon the occurrence of any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination and/or similar transactions; and

● full-ratchet adjustment in connection with a subsequent offering at a per share price less than the fixed conversion price then in effect.

Pursuant to the original terms of the Note, since during the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2022, the Company (i) failed to process at least $750 million in transaction volume or (ii) had revenue that was less than $12 million, the Note’s fixed conversion price then in effect exceeded the greater of (x) the Note’s $1.67 floor and (y) 140% of the market price as of April 1, 2022 (the “Adjustment Measuring Price”), on April 1, 2022, the fixed conversion price automatically adjusted to the Adjustment Measuring Price.

As part of the Restructuring Agreement, the Company agreed to allow for the conversion of up to $4.5 million of principal (together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon) of the Note at a conversion price equal to the lesser of (i) $2.40 and (ii) 97.5% of the lower of (x) the then in effect conversion price and (y) the lowest volume weighted average price of our common stock during the five trading days immediately prior to such conversion.

As part of the First Exchange Agreement, the Company agreed to allow for the conversion of up to an additional $9.0 million of principal (together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon) of the Note at a conversion price equal to 97.5% of the lower of (x) the then in effect conversion price and (y) the lowest volume weighted average price of our common stock during the five trading days immediately prior to such conversion.

1-Year Alternate Optional Conversion

At any time following the first anniversary of the issuance date of the Note, but only if the closing bid price of our common stock on the immediately prior trading day is less than $6.50, the holder of the Note shall have the option to convert, at such holder’s option, pro rata, up to $30 million of the principal amount of the Note (in $250,000 increments) at the “alternate optional conversion price,” which is equal to the lower of (i) the then in effect conversion price and (ii) the greater of (x).the Note’s $1.67 floor price or (y) 98% of the market price on the conversion date.

Alternate Event of Default Optional Conversion

If an event of default has occurred under the Note, the holder may alternatively elect to convert the Note (subject to an additional 15% redemption premium) at the “alternate event of default conversion price” equal to the lesser of:

● the fixed conversion price then in effect; and

the greater of:

● the floor price; and

● 80% of the lowest volume weighted average price of our common stock during the five trading days immediately prior to such conversion.

Beneficial Ownership Limitation

The Note may not be converted, and shares of common stock may not be issued under the Note if, after giving effect to the conversion or issuance, the applicable holder of the Note (together with its affiliates, if any) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock, which is referred to herein as the “Note Blocker”. The Note Blocker may be raised or lowered to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% at the option of the applicable holder of the Note, except that any raise will only be effective upon 61 days’ prior notice to us.

Change of Control Redemption Right

In connection with a change of control of the Company, the holder may require us to redeem in cash, all or any portion, of the Note at a 15% redemption premium to the greater of the face value, the equity value of our Common Stock underlying the Note, and the equity value of the change of control consideration payable to the holder of our common stock underlying the Note.

The equity value of our common stock underlying the Note is calculated using the greatest closing sale price of our common stock during the period immediately preceding the consummation or the public announcement of the change of control and ending the date the holder gives notice of such redemption.

The equity value of the change of control consideration payable to the holder of our common stock underlying the Note is calculated using the aggregate cash consideration and aggregate cash value of any non-cash consideration per share of our common stock to be paid to the holders of our common stock upon the change of control.

Events of Default

Under the terms of the First Supplemental Indenture, the events of default contained in the Base Indenture shall not apply to the Note. Rather, the Note contains standard and customary events of default including but not limited to: (i) the suspension from trading or the failure to list the Company’s common stock within certain time periods; (ii) failure to make payments when due under the Notes; and (iii) bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company.

If an event of default occurs, the holder may require us to redeem all or any portion of the Note (including all accrued and unpaid interest and late charges thereon), in cash, at a 15% redemption premium to the greater of the face value and the equity value of the Company’s common stock underlying the Note.

The equity value of the Company’s common stock underlying the Note is calculated using the greatest closing sale price of the Company’s common stock on any trading day immediately preceding such event of default and the date the Company makes the entire payment required.

Company Optional Redemption Rights

At any time no event of default exists, the Company may redeem all, but not less than all, of the Note outstanding in cash all, or any portion, of the Note at a 5% redemption premium to the greater of the face value and the equity value of the Company’s common stock underlying the Note.

The equity value of the Company’s common stock underlying the Note is calculated using the greatest closing sale price of the Company’s common stock on any trading day during the period commencing on the date immediately preceding such date the Company notifies the applicable holder of such redemption election and the date the Company makes the entire payment required.

The Company recorded debt discount accretion expense of $2.3 million and $13.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

The Company incurred interest expense of $0.7 million and $3.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

Derivative Liability

The senior convertible note contains embedded derivatives representing certain conversion features, redemption rights, and contingent payments upon the occurrence of certain events of default. The Company determined that these embedded derivatives required bifurcation and separate valuation.

The Company utilizes a binomial lattice model to value its bifurcated derivatives included in the note. ASC 815 does not permit an issuer to account separately for individual derivative terms and features embedded in hybrid financial instruments that require bifurcation and liability classification as derivative financial instruments. Rather, such terms and features must be combined and fair-valued as a single compound embedded derivative. The Company selected a binomial lattice model to value the compound embedded derivative because it believes this technique is reflective of all significant assumptions that market participants would likely consider in negotiating the transfer of the note. Such assumptions include, among other inputs, stock price volatility, risk-free rates, credit risk assumptions, early redemption and conversion assumptions, and the potential for future adjustment of the conversion price due to triggering events. Additionally, there are other embedded features of the Note requiring bifurcation, other than the conversion features, which had no value at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, due to management’s estimates of the likelihood of certain events, but that may have value in the future should those estimates change.

The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in ASC 740, Income Taxes (ASC 740). Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had Federal and State Net Operating Loss (“NOL”) carryforwards of $119.5 million and $77.4 million, respectively. Under the new tax law, the Federal NOL arising in tax years ending after December 31, 2017 will be carried forward indefinitely. The Company does not have pre-tax reform Federal NOL carryforwards as of December 31, 2024. NOL carryforwards arising from tax years ending after December 31, 2017, are $119.5 million. The State NOL carryforwards will begin to expire in 2038.

As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company maintained a full valuation allowance for NOL carryforward deferred tax assets. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be reduced if estimates of future taxable income are reduced.

The Company files a consolidated Federal income tax return and files tax returns in various state and local jurisdictions. The statutes of limitations for its consolidated Federal income tax returns are open for years 2021 and thereafter, and state and local income tax returns are open for years 2020 and thereafter.

Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recognized as a component of income tax expense. For the tax years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company recognized no interest or penalties.

PrivCo

The Company repurchased, in two separate repurchase transactions each consisting of 100,000 shares of common stock, an aggregate of 200,000 shares owned by PrivCo (an entity controlled by Messrs. Errez and Nisan). In October 2022, the Board unanimously ratified these two repurchase transactions between the Company and PrivCo. The Company repurchased 100,000 shares for a price per share of $55.90 (for total proceeds to PrivCo of $5,590,000) (the “First Repurchase”) and 100,000 shares for a price per share of $8.20 (for total proceeds to PrivCo of $820,000) (the “Second Repurchase”). The First Repurchase was based on the closing price of the common stock on November 24, 2021 and took place over a number of months starting in February 2022 and ending in October 2022. The Second Repurchase was based on the closing price of the common stock on July 29, 2022 and took place in October 2022. The purpose of each of these transactions was to allow the Company to issue shares to new shareholders without increasing the Company’s shares outstanding. As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, there were 11,733 and 100,525 shares available, respectively, of the 200,000 shares of common stock under the aforementioned transactions.

From time-to-time, the Company is involved in legal proceedings. The Company records a liability for those legal proceedings when it determines it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company also discloses when it is reasonably possible that a material loss may be incurred, however, the amount cannot be reasonably estimated. From time to time, the Company may enter into discussions regarding settlement of these matters, and may enter into settlement agreements, if it believes settlement is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders.

The following is a summary of our current outstanding litigation. Note that references to GreenBox POS are for historical purposes. GreenBox POS changed its name to RYVYL Inc. on October 13, 2022.

●  On November 8, 2022, the Company filed a complaint against its former Chief Operating Officer Vanessa Luna, Luna Consultant Group, LLC and Does 1 through 50 in San Diego Superior Court (the “Company Filing”). The Company alleged that Ms. Luna abused her position for additional compensation, failed to follow proper protocols and breached her fiduciary duties and duty of loyalty by secretly maintaining alternative employment. The action sought damages, including interest and costs of suit incurred. On November 10, 2022, Ms. Luna filed her own complaint against the Company and Fredi Nisan in San Diego Superior Court (the “Luna Filing”). Ms. Luna alleged that Mr. Nisan used contract negotiations to coerce her, that the Company improperly coded transactions and misled investors, and that when her concerns were reported to management, she was wrongfully terminated, resulting in a number of claims. Ms. Luna also alleged sexual misconduct on the part of Mr. Nisan. Ms. Luna sought damages including compensatory damages, unpaid wages (past and future), loss of wages and benefits (past and future), and other damages to be proven at trial. The Company and Mr. Nisan deny all allegations of the Luna Filing. In April 2023, Ms. Luna sought and was granted permission to add Coyni, Inc. as a defendant with regard to her claims. In addition, in August 2024, the Company and Mr. Nisan were granted leave to file a Second Amended Complaint to add additional claims against Ms. Luna, including securities fraud. After vigorously defending against all claims asserted by Ms. Luna and vigorously prosecuting its own claims against Ms. Luna, on October 17, 2024, the parties entered into a confidential settlement agreement. On February 4, 2025, the parties filed with the San Diego Superior Court Requests for Dismissal, dismissing their respective cases with prejudice.

● On December 12, 2022, Jacqueline Dollar (aka Jacqueline Reynolds), former Chief Marketing Officer of the Company, filed a complaint against the Company, Fredi Nisan, and Does 1-20 in San Diego Superior Court. Ms. Dollar is alleging she was undercompensated compared to her male counterparts and retaliated against after raising concerns to management resulting in sex discrimination in violation of the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (“FEHA”) and failure to prevent discrimination in violation of FEHA. Ms. Dollar is also claiming intentional infliction of emotional distress. Ms. Dollar is seeking an unspecified amount of damages related to, among other things, payment of past and future lost wages, stock issuances, bonuses and benefits, compensatory damages, and general, economic, non-economic, and special damages. As the Company cannot predict the outcome of the matter, the probability of an outcome cannot be determined. The Company intends to vigorously defend against all claims. The parties are currently in the discovery phase.

● Since December 2022, the Company has been cooperating with an ongoing investigation by the SEC regarding possible violations of the federal securities laws, which in its course has included a review of the Company’s blockchain technology and former QuickCard business. The Company intends to continue to cooperate fully with the SEC in its investigation. The Company cannot predict the outcome of such investigation or whether it will have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flow.

● On February 1, 2023, a putative class action lawsuit titled Cullen v. RYVYL Inc. fka GreenBox POS, Inc., et al., Case No. 3:23-cv-00185-GPC-AGS, was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California against several defendants, including the Company and certain of our current and former directors and officers (the “Cullen Defendants”). The complaint was filed on behalf of persons who purchased or otherwise acquired the Company’s publicly traded securities between January 29, 2021 and January 20, 2023. The complaint alleged that the Cullen Defendants violated Sections 11, 12(a)(2), and 15 of the Securities Act and Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act by making false and/or misleading statements regarding the Company’s financial controls, performance and prospects. On June 30, 2023, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint. On March 1, 2024, the Court issued an order granting in part and denying in part defendants’ motions to dismiss, which included dismissing all Securities Act claims and narrowing the potential class period. The plaintiff filed a second amended complaint on April 30, 2024, which alleges claims against the Cullen Defendants under Exchange Act Sections 10(b) and 20(a) only and a class period of May 13, 2021 through January 20, 2023. The Company filed its motion to dismiss the second amended complaint on July 1, 2024. On October 21, 2024, the Court issued an order granting in part and denying in part defendants’ motions to dismiss. The scope of the remaining claims is consistent with the Court’s last motion to dismiss decision dated March 1, 2024. On November 12, 2024, Plaintiff filed a Third Amended Complaint, which asserts the same legal causes of action and proposed class period as the previous complaint. On February 28, 2025, the Parties executed a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) that reflects their agreement in principle to settle the claims asserted in this class action. Lead Plaintiff has begun the process of drafting the Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement and exhibits thereto, which, after negotiation and execution by the Parties, will be filed with the Court in connection with Motion for Preliminary Approval of Class Action Settlement. The Parties intend to move for preliminary approval of the proposed settlement as soon as practicable after the final settlement agreement is executed. There is no assurance, however, that the settlement will be completed and/or that the Court will approve it. The Cullen Defendants continue to deny any and all liability and allegations set forth in the pending Third Amended Complaint.

● On June 22, 2023, a shareholder derivative complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California against certain of the Company’s current and/or former officers and directors (the “Hertel Defendants”), Christy Hertel, derivatively on behalf of RYVYL Inc., f/k/a GreenBox POS v. Ben Errez et al., Case No. 3:23-CV-01165-GPC-SBC. On August 4, 2023, a second shareholder derivative complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California against the Hertel Defendants, Marcus Gazaway, derivatively on behalf of RYVYL Inc., f/k/a GreenBox POS v. Ben Errez et al., Case No. 3:23-CV-01425-LAB-BLM. Both derivative complaints generally allege that the Hertel Defendants failed to implement adequate internal controls that would prevent false and misleading financial information from being published by the Company and that controlling shareholders participated in overpayment misconduct resulting in violations of Sections 10(b), 14(a) and 20 of the Exchange Act and breached their fiduciary duties and, purportedly on behalf of the Company. On April 2, 2024, the Court granted the parties’ joint motion for an order consolidating the Hertel and Gazaway cases under the caption In re RYVYL Inc. Derivative Litigation, Lead Case No. 3:23-CV-01165-GPC-SBC (S.D. Cal.). On May 6, 2024, the Court issued an order staying the action until after the final resolution of any motion to dismiss the securities class action detailed above. On May 1, 2024, a third nearly identical shareholder derivative complaint was filed in Clark County, Nevada by plaintiff Christina Brown, derivatively on behalf of RYVYL, Inc., v. Ben Errez et al., Case No. A-24-892382-C. The Company currently is working with Ms. Brown’s counsel to coordinate a stay of the Nevada action on the same terms as the stay of the Hertel and Gazaway cases.   The complaint seeks damages and contribution from the Hertel Defendants and a direction that the Company and the Hertel Defendants take actions to reform and improve corporate governance and internal procedures to comply with applicable laws. The Hertel Defendants deny all allegations of liability and intend to vigorously defend against all claims. However, given the preliminary stage of the lawsuits, the uncertainty of litigation, and the legal standards that must be met for success on the merits, the Company cannot predict the outcome of either case at this time.

●  On October 1, 2023, the Company filed a demand for arbitration against Sky Financial with the American Arbitration Association in San Diego, California (the “Arbitration”). In the Arbitration, the Company seeks to recover for breach of contract and Sky Financial’s failure to perform its obligations On October 2, 2023, the Company filed a complaint against Sky Financial in San Diego Superior Court asserting the same claims asserted in the Arbitration, solely to toll any applicable statutes of limitations pending the Arbitration and, if necessary, provide jurisdiction for the court to compel arbitration. The action seeks damages, including interest and costs of suit incurred. The parties agreed to proceed in the Arbitration and to implement the steps needed to extend the current stay of the San Diego Superior Court action pending the Arbitration. Subsequently, the parties agreed to stay the Arbitration and attend mediation. A mediation was scheduled but then vacated by stipulation of the parties. The parties have agreed to continue the stay of the Arbitration pending a mediation, which is to be re-scheduled.

●  On July 6, 2022, the Company’s subsidiary, RYVYL EU (formerly known as Transact Europe OOD), received a notary invitation from Satya Consulting PTE Limited (“Satya”) filed in Bulgaria. In the filed claim, Satya alleges nonpayment of its fee in the amount of EUR 900,000, to which statutory default interest is to be added, for failure of payment under the Company’s stock purchase agreement for Transact Europe Holdings OOD. RYVYL EU has retained Bulgarian counsel to assist in the defense of the asserted claim and denies all allegations. As RYVYL EU cannot predict the outcome of the matter, the probability of an outcome cannot be determined. RYVYL EU intends to vigorously defend against all claims. On October 18, 2024, RYVYL EU entered into a confidential settlement agreement with no material impact to the Company. The Court approved the settlement and the case was dismissed on November 23, 2024.

●  On January 2, 2024, the Company filed a Statement of Claim against Chessa Sabourin in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. Case No. CV-24-00712190-0000. The Company seeks to recover funds unlawfully held by Sabourin, or in the alternative, damages in the equivalent amount. Additionally, punitive and exemplary damages. In September 2023, the Company mistakenly sent funds to Ms. Sabourin and attempted to reverse or recall the transfers but was unable to do so. To date, Ms. Sabourin has failed and/or refused to return the funds mistakenly sent to her. On October 21, 2024, the Court issued a default judgment against Sabourin.

● On June 25, 2024, J. Drew Byelick, a former Chief Financial Officer of the Company, filed a complaint against the Company in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California, Case No. ’24CV1096 JLS MSB. Mr. Byelick alleged breach of contract, fraudulent inducement of employment, along with intentional misrepresentation and concealment. The Company moved to dismiss the complaint for failure to state a claim and for other violations of the federal rules of civil procedure. The Court granted that motion on December 20, 2024, but permitted Mr. Byelick to file an amended complaint. Mr. Byelick filed his first amended complaint on January 19, 2025, asserting the same core claims. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the first amended complaint on February 3, 2025, which has been set for hearing on April 11, 2025. The Company denies all allegations of liability and intends to vigorously defend against all claims. However, given the preliminary stage of the lawsuit, the uncertainty of litigation, and the legal standards that must be met for success on the merits, the Company cannot predict the outcome at this time or estimate a reasonably possible loss or range of loss that may result from this action.

15. Segment Reporting

The Company reports its segments to reflect the manner in which its CODM reviews and assesses performance. The Company’s CODM is its CEO. The primary financial measures used by the CODM to evaluate the performance of its segments and allocate resources to them are revenue and gross profit.

The Company has two reportable segments: North America and International. The CODM uses segment revenue and gross profit for each segment during the annual budgeting and forecasting process. Further, the CODM uses segment revenue and gross profit as the metrics to assess the business trajectory of each segment on a quarterly basis, and to make investment decisions and allocate operating resources to each segment. The CODM does not evaluate performance or allocate resources based on segment asset data. Assets are reviewed on a consolidated basis. As such, segment asset data is not provided.

Preferred Stock Repurchase and Note Repayment Agreement

On January 23, 2025, the Company entered into a Preferred Stock Repurchase and Note Repayment Agreement (the “Repurchase Agreement”) with a securityholder of the Company (the “Securityholder”), which provides for repayment of the outstanding balance of an 8% Senior Convertible Note issued to the Securityholder on November 8, 2021 (the “Note”), which Note was originally due on November 5, 2023, and which maturity date was extended through April 5, 2026, pursuant to subsequent extensions provided by the Securityholder. Additionally, pursuant to two Exchange Agreements between the Company and the Securityholder entered into on July 25, 2023 and November 27, 2023, respectively, a portion of the outstanding balance of the Note was exchanged for 55,000 shares of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series B Preferred Shares”).

Pursuant to terms of the Repurchase Agreement, in consideration for an aggregate payment of $17,000,000 by the Company to the Securityholder (the “Repurchase Price”), (i) the entire outstanding principal balance of the Note, including all accrued and unpaid interest, shall be deemed to have been paid and (ii) all outstanding Series B Preferred Shares held by the Securityholder will be repurchased by the Company.

The Repurchase Agreement provides for the payment of the Repurchase Price in two installments, the first in the amount of $13 million (the “First Installment”), which was paid on January 27, 2025. The second installment, in the amount of $4 million (the “Second Installment”), is due and payable on or before April 30, 2025 (the “Second Installment Date”), and the maturity date of the Note is advanced to such date. Upon the payment of the First Installment, all Series B Preferred Shares held by the Securityholder were repurchased.

The Repurchase Agreement further provides that, during the period from the payment of the First Installment until the Second Installment Date, no interest will accrue on the remaining balance of the Note and certain restrictive covenants under the Note will be temporarily waived. If the Company fails to make the Second Installment on or before the Second Installment Date, then interest will continue to accrue again on the outstanding balance of the Note and all other terms of the Note will also be restored as they were prior to the date the First Installment was paid.

Stock Purchase Agreement and Financing

On January 23, 2025, in connection with the Company’s securing financing (the “Financing”), the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “SPA”) with a purchaser (the “Purchaser”), which provides for the sale to the Purchaser of all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock (the “Ryvyl EU Shares”) of the Company’s indirect subsidiary domiciled in Bulgaria, Ryvyl (EU) EAD (“Ryvyl EU”), by Transact Europe Holdings EOOD, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, also domiciled in Bulgaria (“Transact Europe”) for an aggregate purchase price of $15,000,000 (the “Financing Purchase Price”). Under the terms of the SPA, the Company was required to use $13 million of the net proceeds raised in the Financing to pay the First Installment of the Repurchase Price.

On January 23, 2025, the Company, Transact Europe and the Purchaser also entered into a Termination Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”). Among other things, the Termination Agreement provides the Company with the right to terminate the SPA and all of the transactions contemplated therein, by paying the Purchaser $16.5 million on or before 90 days after the date of execution of the SPA (April 23, 2025), provided that such date may be extended an additional 30 days (May 23, 2025) in consideration for the Company’s payment of $500,000 to the Purchaser. If the SPA is terminated as a result of such payment by the Company, the Ryvyl EU Shares will not be sold to the Purchaser and will be returned to Transact Europe and the SPA will be void and of no further effect, except for some provisions that survive termination. In the event that the SPA is not so terminated, then the Purchaser will close on its purchase of the Ryvyl EU Shares; provided, however, if the Purchaser is unable to close for any reason other than the Company’s breach, including the inability to obtain any regulatory clearances required for such transfer, then the Company is liable for damages in the amount of $16.5 million. In the event that the Purchaser is unable to close on the transfer of the Ryvyl EU Shares, as a result of the Company’s breach, then the Company is liable for damages in an amount equal to the appraised value of the Ryvyl EU Shares.

Substantial Doubt about Going Concern [Text Block]

Going Concern

In February 2024, the Company transitioned its QuickCard product in North America away from terminal-based to app-based processing. This transition was driven by a change in our banking partner that was prompted by recent changes in the compliance environment and banking regulations impacting certain niche high-risk business verticals, which were the predominant revenue driver for QuickCard.

Management planned to recover the loss of revenues resulting from this product transition through the acceleration of business development efforts to launch the new app-based product in existing and new business verticals. However, due to continuous changes in the regulatory environment and our previous banking relationships, during the second quarter of 2024, management determined that the app-based product may not be a viable long-term solution for certain niche high-risk business verticals and made the decision to terminate the rollout of the app-based product in those specific business verticals. To address this change, during the third quarter of 2024, the Company introduced a licensing product for its payments processing platform, which it believes will enable it to serve the same customer base in such verticals through a business partner with more suitable banking compliance capabilities. Revenues from the new licensing product are not expected to materialize until late 2025. Due of this strategy shift as well as a reorganization of the Company’s business to better align with management’s revised strategy, which was executed during the second quarter of 2024, the recovery of the loss of revenues resulting from this product transition is now not expected to occur until late 2025.

The decline in revenues resulting from this product transition has adversely impacted the Company’s liquidity in its North America segment in the short term. As a result, management has determined that its cash in the North America segment as of December 31, 2024, will not be sufficient to fund the segment’s operations and capital needs for the next 12 months from the date of this Report. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon the successful execution of management’s intended plan over the next twelve months to improve the liquidity of its North America segment, which includes, without limitation:

● continued execution of its accelerated business development efforts to drive volumes in diversified business verticals with the Company’s other products, including the recently launched licensing of the Company’s payments processing platform in certain niche high-risk business verticals;

● continued implementation of cost control measures to more effectively manage spending in the North America segment and right-sizing the organization, where appropriate;

● the sale of noncore assets;

● continued repatriation of offshore profits from the Company’s European subsidiaries, whose continued accelerated growth and generation of positive cash flow have already provided and will continue to provide, an immediate and viable short-term source of capital during this product transition (to date, the Company has repatriated approximately $17.6 million from Europe); and

● raising capital through a variety of means, including private and public equity offerings and debt financings.

Management has assessed that its intended plan described above, if successfully implemented, is appropriate and sufficient to address the liquidity shortfall in its North America segment and to provide funds to cover operations for the next 12 months from the date of the issuance of this Report. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in implementing our plan, that our projections of our future capital needs will prove accurate, or that any additional funding will be sufficient to continue our operations in the North America segment. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, the Company’s financial condition or operating results will be materially affected. The Company bases its estimates on current and past experience, to the extent that historical experience is predictive of future performance, and other assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The Company evaluates these estimates on an ongoing basis.

Reclassification, Comparability Adjustment [Policy Text Block]

Reclassification

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Reverse Stock Split [Policy Text Block]

Reverse Stock Split

On September 6, 2023, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to its amended and restated certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada to effect a 1-for-10 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the Company’s shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “common stock”). Such amendment and ratio were previously approved by the board of directors. Under Nevada Revised Statutes Section 78.207, stockholder approval of the Reverse Stock Split was not required because (i) both the number of authorized shares of the common stock and the number of issued and outstanding shares of the common stock were proportionally reduced as a result of the Reverse Stock Split; (ii) the Reverse Stock Split did not adversely affect any other class of stock of the Company; and (iii) the Company did not pay money or issue scrip to stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, which was effective September 6, 2023, every ten shares of the Company’s pre-reverse split outstanding common stock were combined and reclassified into one share of common stock. Proportionate voting rights and other rights of common stockholders were not affected by the Reverse Stock Split. Any fractional shares of common stock resulting from the Reverse Stock Split were rounded up to the nearest whole share. All stock options outstanding and common stock reserved for issuance under the Company’s equity incentive plans outstanding immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split were adjusted by dividing the number of affected shares of common stock by ten and, as applicable, multiplying the exercise price by ten. All share numbers, share prices, exercise prices and per share amounts have been adjusted, on a retroactive basis to reflect this 1-for-10 Reverse Stock Split.

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Cash and Restricted Cash

Cash consist of cash on hand and cash on deposit with banks. Restricted cash substantially consists of cash received from gateways for merchant transactions processed, which has yet to be distributed to merchants, ISOs and their agents at the end of the period.

Receivable [Policy Text Block]

Cash Due from Gateways, Net

The Company generates the majority of its revenue from payment processing services provided to its merchant clients. When a merchant makes a sale, the process of receiving the payment card information and engaging the banks for transferring the proceeds to the merchant’s account via digital gateways, are the primary activities for which the Company gets to collect fees. Cash due from gateways represent amounts due to the Company for transactions processed but not yet distributed by the gateways.

The gateways have strict policies pertaining to the scheduling of the release of funds to merchants based on several criteria that include, but are not limited to, return and chargeback history, associated risk for the specific business vertical, average transaction amount, etc. To mitigate potential credit losses associated with these risks, the gateways use these policies to determine reserve requirements and a payment in arrears strategy. While reserve and payment in arrears restrictions are in effect for a merchant payout, the Company records the reserved amounts against cash due from the gateways until the restriction is released.

Cash due from gateways is only applicable to payment processing services provided in North America, as. Ryvyl EU has its own gateway and, therefore, similar receivables are not created.

Payment Processing Liabilities [Policy Text Block]

Payment Processing Liabilities

Payment processing liabilities principally represent funds collected from acquiring transactions that are due to merchants and ISOs, net of amounts earned by the Company on those transactions. It also includes net amounts owed to merchants and ISOs in connection with acquiring transactions processed but which have yet to be received from our third-party gateways. These liabilities are secured by funds held in restricted cash accounts and are presented as Restricted cash in the consolidated balance sheets.

Revenue [Policy Text Block]

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

The Company generates the majority of its revenue from payment processing services. Payment processing services revenue is typically based on a percentage of the value of each transaction processed and/or upon fixed amounts specified for each transaction or service. The Company satisfies its performance obligations and, therefore, recognizes the processing fees as revenue at a point in time, upon the authorization of a merchant sale transaction. The Company also generates revenue from banking services, which primarily include incoming and outgoing ACH and wire transfer transactions. For these transactions, we typically charge specified fees on a per transaction basis, which may vary from customer to customer. The Company satisfies its performance obligation related to these transactions at a point in time, upon the authorization of the transaction in the Company’s payments platform.

Research and Development Expense, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs primarily consist of salaries and benefits for research and development personnel and outsourced contracted services, as well as associated supplies and materials. These costs are expensed as incurred.

Internal Use Software, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Internal-use Software Development Costs

Internal-use software development costs consist of the costs related to outsourced consultants who are directly associated with and who devote time to creating and enhancing internally developed software for the Company’s platforms. Internal-use software development activities generally consist of three stages: (i) the preliminary project stage, (ii) the application development stage, and (iii) the postimplementation-operation stage. In accordance with ASC 350-40, Internal Use Software, costs incurred in the preliminary and postimplementation-operation stages of software development are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred in the application development stage, including significant enhancements and upgrades, are capitalized. Capitalized internal-use software development costs are included within intangible assets, net on the consolidated balance sheets, and are amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of three years upon the software or additional features being ready for their intended use.

Accounts Receivable [Policy Text Block]

Accounts Receivable, Net

Accounts receivable primarily consist of amounts recorded in connection with the sale of payment processing terminals and related accessories. Accounts receivable are recorded at invoiced amounts, net of an allowance for credit losses, and do not bear interest. In accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (ASC 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), the Company measures its allowance for credit losses using an expected credit loss model that reflects the Company’s current estimate of expected credit losses inherent in the enterprise and the accounts receivable balance. In determining the expected credit losses, the Company considers its historical loss experience, the aging of its accounts receivable balance, current economic and business conditions, and anticipated future economic events that may impact collectability. The Company reviews its allowance for credit losses periodically and, as needed, amounts are written-off when determined to be uncollectible. As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, the allowance for credit losses was immaterial.

Prepaid Expenses, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets

Prepaid expenses and other current assets primarily consist of inventory and deposits made by our European subsidiaries with credit card companies.

Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Property and Equipment, Net

Property and equipment primarily consist of computer equipment and furniture and fixtures. Property and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to eight years. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. For assets sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any related gain or loss is reflected in income for the period.

Fair Value Measurement, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Fair Value Measurements

The Company applies fair value accounting for assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined as the price received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, establishes a three-level hierarchy priority for disclosure of assets and liabilities recorded at fair value. The ordering of priority reflects the degree to which objective prices in external active markets are available to measure fair value. The classification of assets and liabilities within the hierarchy is based on whether the inputs to the valuation methodology used for measurement are observable or unobservable. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. The three levels in the hierarchy are as follows:

● Level 1 – Observable inputs, such as unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date.

● Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

● Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that cannot be directly corroborated by observable market data and that typically reflect management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The Company measures its convertible note and related derivative liability at fair value. The Company classifies these liabilities as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, as fair values are estimated using models that use both observable (e.g., changes in market interest rates) and unobservable (e.g., changes in unobservable long-dated volatilities) inputs.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Goodwill, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill is recorded when the consideration paid for the acquisition of a business exceeds the fair value of the identifiable net tangible and intangible assets acquired. ASC 350-20, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Goodwill, requires companies to assess goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. Testing goodwill for impairment is performed at the reporting unit level, using a two-step test, and requires companies to compare the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. Goodwill is considered impaired if the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. ASC 350-20 also provides for an optional qualitative assessment for testing goodwill for impairment that enables companies to skip the two-step test if it is determined that it is more likely than not (i.e., a likelihood of greater than 50%) that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount.

The Company’s policy is to perform its annual impairment test of goodwill as of December 31 of each fiscal year or more frequently if indicators of impairment are identified. Based on the most recent impairment assessment, performed as of June 30, 2024, the Company previously recorded an impairment charge of $6.7 million or one hundred percent (100%) of the goodwill balance related to its North America operating unit. As of December 31, 2024, no impairment indicators were identified that would warrant an updated impairment assessment on the remaining balance of goodwill and, as such, no additional adjustment was required.

Intangible assets consist of acquired customer relationships and business intellectual properties. In accordance with ASC 350-30, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—General Intangibles Other than Goodwill, the Company’s intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives, ranging from two to five years, using the straight-line method. Intangible assets amortized under ASC 350-30 must be reviewed for impairment when indicators of impairment are present, in accordance with ASC 360-10. As of December 31, 2024, management determined that an impairment assessment over intangible assets held in the North America operating unit was required. Based on that assessment, management determined that the carrying value of the Company’s intangible assets in North America was not recoverable and recorded an impairment of $3.0 million or one hundred percent of the carrying balance as of December 31, 2024.

Lessee, Leases [Policy Text Block]

Leases

The Company leases office space under non-cancellable operating leases with various expiration dates. The Company determines whether an arrangement is a lease for accounting purposes at contract inception. Operating leases are recorded as right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, which are included within noncurrent assets, and lease liabilities, which are included within current and noncurrent liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets.

Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term. ROU assets are based on the lease liability and are increased by prepaid lease payments and decreased by lease incentives received, where applicable. The interest rate used to determine the present value of the future lease payments is the Company’s incremental borrowing rate because the interest rate implicit in the Company’s leases is not readily determinable. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate is estimated to approximate the interest rate that the Company would pay to borrow on a collateralized basis with similar terms and payments as the lease, and in economic environments where the leased asset is located. Certain leases require the Company to pay taxes, maintenance, and other operating expenses associated with the leased asset. Such amounts are not included in the measurement of the ROU assets and lease liabilities. These lease costs are recognized as lease expenses when incurred.

The Company evaluates ROU assets related to leases for indicators of impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a ROU asset may not be recoverable. When a decision has been made to exit a lease prior to the contractual term or to sublease that space, the Company evaluates the asset for impairment and recognizes the associated impact to the ROU asset and related expense, if applicable. The evaluation is performed at the asset group level initially and when appropriate, at the lowest level of identifiable cash flows, which is at the individual lease level. Undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the related ROU assets are estimated over the ROU assets’ useful lives. If the evaluation indicates that the carrying amount of the ROU assets may not be recoverable, any potential impairment is measured based upon the fair value of the related ROU asset or asset group as determined by appropriate valuation techniques.

Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations Policy [Policy Text Block]

Foreign Currency

Assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries are translated into the reporting currency using the exchange rates in effect on the consolidated balance sheet dates. Equity accounts are translated at historical rates, except for the change in retained earnings during the period, which is the result of the income statement translation process. Revenue and expense accounts are translated using the weighted average exchange rate during the period. The cumulative translation adjustments associated with the net assets of foreign subsidiaries are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income in the accompanying consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity.

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Policy Text Block]

Stock Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense relates to restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) and stock options granted to employees and non-employee directors under the Company’s equity incentive plans, which are measured based on the grant-date fair value. The fair value of RSAs is determined by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. The fair value of stock options is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model. Generally, stock-based compensation expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.

Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements, net of operating loss carry forwards and credits, by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is not more likely than not that some portion of or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Judgment is required in determining and evaluating income tax provisions and valuation allowances for deferred income tax assets. We recognize an income tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position.

Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities. As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company has a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets.

Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Net Loss Per Share

The Company’s basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period without consideration of potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding, adjusted for the dilutive effect of all potential shares of common stock. For the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company’s diluted net loss per share is the same as the basic net loss per share, since there are no common stock equivalents outstanding that would have a dilutive effect.

Segment Reporting, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Segment Reporting

The Company reports its segments to reflect the manner in which its CODM reviews and assesses performance. The Company’s CODM is its CEO. The primary financial measures used by the CODM to evaluate the performance of its segments and allocate resources to them are revenue and gross profit.

The Company has two reportable segments: North America and International. The CODM uses segment revenue and gross profit for each segment during the annual budgeting and forecasting process. Further, the CODM uses segment revenue and gross profit as the metrics to assess the business trajectory of each segment on a quarterly basis, and to make investment decisions and allocate operating resources to each segment. The CODM does not evaluate performance or allocate resources based on segment asset data. Assets are reviewed on a consolidated basis. As such, segment asset data is not provided.

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 aims to simplify the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. ASU 2020-06 also simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity and amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. For SEC filers, excluding smaller reporting companies, ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods therein. The adoption of the new guidance, effective January 1, 2024, did not have an impact on the financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and disclosures of the Company.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). The amendments expand segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM, the amount and description of other segment items, permits companies to disclose more than one measure of segment profit or loss, and requires all annual segment disclosures to be included in the interim periods. The amendments do not change how an entity identifies its operating segments, aggregates those operating segments, or applies quantitative thresholds to determine its reportable segments. The Company adopted this guidance effective for the annual reporting period beginning January 1, 2024, and has applied the guidance retrospectively. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Refer to Note 15, Segment Reporting, for further details.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60): Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets. This amended guidance requires fair value measurement of certain crypto assets each reporting period with the changes in fair value reflected in net income. The amendments also require disclosures of the name, fair value, units held, and cost bases for each significant crypto asset held and annual reconciliations of crypto asset holdings. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are required to apply these amendments as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the guidance is adopted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have an impact on our consolidated financial statements, as we currently do not hold any crypto assets.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amended guidance enhances income tax disclosures primarily related to the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. This guidance requires disclosure of specific categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation and further information on reconciling items meeting a quantitative threshold. In addition, the amended guidance requires disaggregating income taxes paid (net of refunds received) by federal, state, and foreign taxes. It also requires disaggregating individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid (net of refunds received) is equal to or greater than 5 percent of total income taxes paid (net of refunds received). The amended guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The guidance can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact this amended guidance may have on the footnotes to our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024 03”), and in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01, Clarifying the Effective Date (“ASU 2025-01”). The amendments are intended to enhance disclosures regarding an entity’s costs and expenses by requiring additional disaggregated information disclosures about certain income statement expense line items. The amendments, as clarified by ASU 2025-01, are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect of adopting the new disclosure requirements.

The Series B Certificate of Designations also provides that in the event of certain “Triggering Events,” any holder may, at any time, convert any or all of such holder’s Series B Preferred Stock at a conversion rate equal to the product of (i) the Series B Alternate Conversion Price and (ii) 115% of the stated value of the Series B Preferred Stock subject to such conversion. “Triggering Events” include, among others, (i) a failure to timely deliver shares of common stock, upon a conversion, (ii) a suspension of trading on the principal trading market or the failure to be traded or listed on the principal market for five days or more, (iii) the failure to pay any dividend to the holders of Series B Preferred Stock when required, (iv) the failure to remove restrictive legends when required, (v) the Company’s default in payment of indebtedness in an aggregate amount of $2 million or more, (vi) proceedings for a bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or liquidation, which are not dismissed with 30 days, (vii) commencement of a voluntary bankruptcy proceeding, and (viii) final judgments against the Company for the payment of money in excess of $2 million. The “Series B Alternate Conversion Price” means the lower of (i) the applicable conversion price then in effect and (ii) the greater of (x) $0.62 and (y) 97.5% of the lowest volume weighted average price of the common stock during the five consecutive trading day period ending and including the trading day immediately preceding the delivery of the applicable conversion notice.
