CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements other than statements of historical facts included or incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including without limitation, statements regarding our future financial position, business strategy, budgets, projected revenues, projected costs and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements.

Management cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any of the Company’s forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made.

We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of the Business

REGO Payment Architectures, Inc. (“REGO”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware on February 11, 2008.

REGO Payment Architectures, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, except where the context requires, the “Company”) is a provider of consumer software that delivers a mobile payment platform solution—Mazoola® - a family focused mobile banking solution. Headquartered in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania, the Company maintains a portfolio of trade secrets and four US patent awards. REGO offers an all-digital financial payments platform to enable minors, particularly under 13 years old, to purchase goods and services, complete chores and learn in a secure online environment guided by parental permission, oversight, and control, while remaining Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) and General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) compliant.

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

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

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

ZOOM Solutions, Inc. (“ZS”)

ZS (formerly Zoom Payment Solutions, Inc.) was incorporated in the state of Delaware on February 16, 2018 as a subsidiary of REGO Payment Architectures, Inc. REGO owns 100% of the common stock of ZS. ZS is the holding company for various subsidiaries that may utilize REGO’s payment platform to address emerging markets.

There were minimal operations at ZS during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). These statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which management believes necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements and have been prepared on a consistent basis using the accounting policies described in the summary of accounting policies included in the Company’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Form 10-K”). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed, or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the accompanying disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The accompanying unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 as filed with the SEC. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023.

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

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt – Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges or Freestanding Equity – Classified Written Call Options. The amendments in this Update clarify an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity – classified written call options (for example, warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. The amendments are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity should apply the amendments prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring on or after the effective date of the amendments. Early adoption is permitted for all entities, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity elects to early adopt the amendments in this Update in an interim period, the guidance should be applied as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the interim period. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2022 which did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosure.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

As of March 31, 2023, there are no recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted which would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 2 – MANAGEMENT PLANS

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

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

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

As of May 15, 2023, the Company has a cash position of approximately $4.7 million. Based upon the current cash position and the Company’s planned expense run rate, management believes the Company has funds currently to finance its operations through December 2023.

NOTE 3 – ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND ACCRUED EXPENSES - RELATED PARTIES

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company owed the Chief Executive Officer, who is also a more than 5% beneficial owner, a total of $7,154 and $1,703 in unpaid salary.

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company owed the Chief Financial Officer a total of $3,808 and $907 in unpaid salary.

11

NOTE 4 – LOANS PAYABLE

Loans payable as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were $42,600. Interest accrued on the loans at 6% and 10% was $7,499 and $6,768 as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Interest expense related to these loans payable was $730 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

NOTE 5 – 10% SECURED CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE - STOCKHOLDERS

On March 6, 2015, the Company, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), issued $2,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 10% Secured Convertible Promissory Notes due March 5, 2016 (the “Notes”) to certain stockholders. On May 11, 2015, the Company issued an additional $940,000 of Notes to stockholders. The maturity dates of the Notes have been extended most recently to October 31, 2023, with the consent of the Note holders.

The Notes are convertible by the holders, at any time, into shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock at a conversion price of $90.00 per share, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends and similar transactions with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock only. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock is currently convertible into 100 shares of the Company’s common stock at a current conversion price of $0.90 per share, subject to anti-dilution adjustment as described in the Certificate of Designation of the Series B Preferred Stock. In addition, pursuant to the terms of a Security Agreement entered into on May 11, 2015 by and among the Company, the Note holders and a collateral agent acting on behalf of the Note holders (the “Security Agreement”), the Notes are secured by a lien against substantially all of the Company’s business assets. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company also granted piggyback registration rights to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock upon a conversion of the Notes.

The Notes are recorded as a current liability as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 in the amount of $3,316,357. Interest accrued on the Notes was $2,594,147 and $2,511,238 as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Interest expense related to these Notes payable was $82,909 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

NOTE 6 – NOTES PAYABLE – STOCKHOLDERS

These notes payable have no formal repayment terms and $370,000 of the notes bear interest at 10% per annum and the remaining $225,000 of the notes bear interest at 20% per annum.

These notes payable are recorded as a current liability as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 in the amount of $595,000. Interest accrued on the notes, as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $298,717 and $278,326. Interest expense related to these notes was $20,391 for the three months March 31, 2023 and 2022.

NOTE 7 – 4% SECURED CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE - STOCKHOLDERS

On August 26, 2016, the Company, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, issued $600,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.0% Secured Convertible Promissory Notes due June 30, 2019 (the “New Secured Notes”) to certain accredited investors (“investors”). The Company issued additional New Secured Notes during 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 2020, 2021 and 2022.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company issued $200,000 aggregate principal amount of its New Secured Notes to a member of the Board of Directors and his son.

The New Secured Notes are convertible by the holders, at any time, into shares of the Company’s authorized Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series C Preferred Stock”) at a conversion price of $90.00 per share, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends and similar transactions with respect to the Series C Preferred Stock only. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock is currently convertible into 100 shares of the Company’s common stock at a current conversion price of $0.90 per share, subject to full ratchet anti-dilution adjustment for one year and weighted average anti-dilution adjustment thereafter, as described in the Certificate of Designation of the Series C Preferred Stock. Upon a liquidation event, the Company shall first pay to the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock, on a pari passu basis with the holders of the Company’s outstanding Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock, an amount per share equal to 700% of the conversion price (i.e., $630.00 per share of Series C Preferred Stock), plus all accrued and unpaid dividends on each share of Series C Preferred Stock (the “Series C Preference Amount”). The Series C Preference Amount shall be paid prior and in preference to payment of any amounts to the Common Stock. After the payment of all preferential amounts required to be paid to the holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock, Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and any additional senior preferred stock, the Series C Preferred Stock participates in further distributions subject to an aggregate cap of seven and one-half times (7.5x) the original issue price thereof, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends.

NOTE 8 – INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense was $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

As of January 1, 2023, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits, and accordingly, the Company did not recognize interest or penalties during 2023 related to unrecognized tax benefits. There has been no change in unrecognized tax benefits during the three months ended March 31, 2023, and there was no accrual for uncertain tax positions as of March 31, 2023. Tax years from 2019 through 2022 remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions.

There is no income tax benefit for the losses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, since management has determined that the realization of the net tax deferred asset is not assured and has created a valuation allowance for the entire amount of such benefits.

As of March 31, 2023, none of the Series C Preferred Stock was issued or outstanding. After the date of issuance of Series C Preferred Stock, dividends at the rate of $7.20 per share will begin accruing and will be cumulative. The Series C Preferred Stock is pari passu with the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock and has a preference in liquidation equal to seven times its original issue price to be paid out of assets available for distribution prior to holders of common stock and thereafter participates with the holders of common stock in any remaining proceeds subject to an aggregate cap of 7.5 times its original issue price.

The Series C Preferred Stock also contains customary approval rights with respect to certain matters. There are no outstanding Series C Preferred Shares, therefore the current per annum dividend per share is $0.

As of March 31, 2023, the value of the cumulative 8% dividends for all Rego preferred stock was $9,393,381. Such dividends will be paid when and if declared payable by Rego’s board of directors or upon the occurrence of certain liquidation events.

ZS raised $250,000 with respect to this transaction. Dividends on the ZS Series A Preferred Stock accrue at a rate of 8% per annum and are cumulative. The ZS Series A Preferred Stock has a preference in liquidation equal to two times the ZS Original Series A Issue Price to be paid out of assets available for distribution prior to holders of ZS common stock and thereafter participates with the holders of ZS common stock in any remaining proceeds subject to an aggregate cap of 2.5 times the ZS Original Series A Issue Price.

Issuance of Restricted Shares

A restricted stock award (“RSA”) is an award of common shares that is subject to certain restrictions during a specified period. Restricted stock awards are independent of option grants and are generally subject to forfeiture if employment terminates prior to the release of the restrictions. The grantee cannot transfer the shares before the restricted shares vest. Shares of nonvested restricted stock have the same voting rights as common stock, are entitled to receive dividends and other distributions thereon and are considered to be currently issued and outstanding. The Company’s restricted stock awards generally vest over a period of one year. The Company expenses the cost of the restricted stock awards, which is determined to be the fair market value of the shares at the date of grant, straight-line over the period during which the restrictions lapse. For these purposes, the fair market value of the restricted stock is determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date.

NOTE 11 – STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

During 2008, the Board of Directors (“Board”) of the Company adopted the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (“2008 Plan”) that was approved by the stockholders. Under the 2008 Plan, the Company was authorized to grant options to purchase up to 25,000,000 shares of common stock to any officer, other employee or director of, or any consultant or other independent contractor who provides services to the Company. The 2008 Plan was intended to permit stock options granted to employees under the 2008 Plan to qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Incentive Stock Options”). All options granted under the 2008 Plan, which are not intended to qualify as Incentive Stock Options are deemed to be non-qualified options (“Non-Statutory Stock Options”). As of March 31, 2023, under the 2008 Plan, options to purchase 1,250,000 shares of common stock have been issued and are unexercised, and no shares are available for grants under the 2008 Plan. The 2008 Plan expired on March 3, 2019.

During 2013, the Board adopted the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (“2013 Plan”), which was approved by stockholders at the 2013 annual meeting of stockholders. Under the 2013 Plan, the Company is authorized to grant awards of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards of up to an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of common stock to any officer, employee, director or consultant. The 2013 Plan is intended to permit stock options granted to employees under the 2013 Plan to qualify as Incentive Stock Options. All options granted under the 2013 Plan, which are not intended to qualify as Incentive Stock Options are deemed to be Non-Statutory Stock Options. As of March 31, 2023, under the 2013 Plan, grants of restricted stock and options to purchase 3,487,500 shares of common stock have been issued and are unexercised, and 300,000 shares of common stock remain available for grants under the 2013 Plan.

The 2013 Plan is administered by the Board or its compensation committee, which determines the persons to whom awards will be granted, the number of awards to be granted, and the specific terms of each grant, including the vesting thereof, subject to the terms of the 2013 Plan.

The Company also grants stock options outside the 2013 Plan on terms determined by the Board.

In connection with Incentive Stock Options, the exercise price of each option may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of the grant (or 110% of the fair market value in the case of a grantee holding more than 10% of the outstanding stock of the Company).

Prior to January 1, 2014, volatility in all instances presented is the Company’s estimate of volatility that is based on the volatility of other public companies that are in closely related industries to the Company. Beginning January 1, 2014, volatility in all instances presented is the Company’s estimate of volatility that is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock.

The following table presents the weighted-average assumptions used to estimate the fair values of the stock options granted by REGO during the three months ended March 31, 2023:

Risk Free Interest Rate		4.2	%
Expected Volatility		77.6	%

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company issued options to purchase 597,875 shares of the Company’s common stock to various consultants and employees. The options were valued at $346,086 fair value, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the grant-date fair value of the options. The fair value of options was expensed immediately.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, 80,000 options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock were exercised at various strike prices for aggregate proceeds of $79,600.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Overview

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

19

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

● Requiring the consent of subjects for data processing

● Anonymizing collected data to protect privacy

● Providing data breach notifications

● Safely handling the transfer of data across borders

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

20

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

.

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

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

REGO addresses hard industry problems such as:

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

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

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

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

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

We are seeking partners that will leverage our Platform to:

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

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

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

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

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

Other markets for potential licensed applications are:

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

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

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

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

Results of Operations

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 and 2022

The following discussion analyzes our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. The following information should be considered together with our condensed financial statements for such period and the accompanying notes thereto.

Net Revenue

We have not generated significant revenue since our inception. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we generated revenues of $0 and $1,397.  

Net Loss 

For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we had a net loss of $5,408,901 and $2,279,147.

Transaction Expense

Transaction expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $56,284 compared to $62,531 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. These are transactional charges primarily for the operation of the Mazoola® app, and the Chore Check app.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were $353,980 compared to $636,608 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, a decrease of $282,628. The decrease was due to the discontinuation of the direct-to-consumer initiative, which will ultimately be replaced by an initiative directed toward white label agreements, banks, credit unions and channel providers.

Product Development

Product development expenses were $686,748 and $435,366 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, an increase of $251,382. The Company added an enhancement of fractional transaction capability to the Mazoola® app to increase its marketability.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased $3,164,491 to $4,058,045 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 from $893,554 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. This resulted from the Company issuing shares of common stock and options to Board members, officers and consultants, an increase of approximately $3,200,000, during the three months ended March 31, 2023, which did not occur during the three months ended March 31, 2022. This was offset by a $50,000 decrease in legal fees and a $30,000 decrease in consultant fees for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022.

22

Interest Expense

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company incurred interest expense of $253,844 compared to $252,523 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, an increase of $1,321. The increase in interest expense relates to increased levels of outstanding debt.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of May 15, 2023 we had cash on hand of approximately $4.7 million.

Net cash used in operating activities decreased $24,852 to $1,625,878 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to $1,650,730 for the three months ended March 31, 2022.  The decrease resulted primarily from the reduction in marketing costs upon completion of the Mazoola® app. Costs associated with common shares to be issued were offset by the reduction in non-cash based compensation.

Net cash used in investing activities decreased $101,446 to $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to $101,446 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as a result of reduction in patent expenses.

Net cash provided by financing activities decreased to $839,599 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 from $3,764,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Proceeds from the sale of Series B Preferred Stock as well as proceeds from the sale of Convertible Notes Payable decreased as compared to the prior year period.

As we have not realized significant revenues since our inception, we have financed our operations through offerings of debt and equity securities.  On March 13, 2023, the Company entered into a $20 million Investor Private Line of Credit agreement with an existing shareholder of the Company.  

Since our inception, we have focused on developing and implementing our business plan.  We believe that our existing cash resources will not be sufficient to sustain our operations during the next twelve months.  We currently need to generate sufficient revenues to support our cost structure to enable us to pay ongoing costs and expenses as they are incurred, finance enhancements to our Platform, and execute the business plan.  If we cannot generate sufficient revenue to fund our business plan, we intend to seek to raise such financing through the sale of debt and/or equity securities.  The issuance of additional equity would result in dilution to existing shareholders. The issuance of convertible debt may also result in dilution to existing stockholders. If we are unable to obtain additional funds when they are needed or if such funds cannot be obtained on terms acceptable to us, we will be unable to execute upon the business plan or pay costs and expenses as they are incurred, which would have a material, adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. See Note 2, to our consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q. 

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

Based upon the current cash position and the Company’s planned expense run rate, management believes the Company will not be able to finance its operations beyond December 2023.

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

23

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2023, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our financial statements are impacted by the accounting policies used and the estimates and assumptions made by management during their preparation. A complete summary of these policies is included in Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. We have identified below the accounting policies that are of particular importance in the presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows and which require the application of significant judgment by management.

Stock-based Compensation

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

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

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

Revenue Recognition

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

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recently issued accounting pronouncements are discussed in Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this report.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of the Business

REGO Payment Architectures, Inc. (“REGO”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware on February 11, 2008.

REGO Payment Architectures, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, except where the context requires, the “Company”) is a provider of consumer software that delivers a mobile payment platform solution—Mazoola® - a family focused mobile banking solution. Headquartered in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania, the Company maintains a portfolio of trade secrets and four US patent awards. REGO offers an all-digital financial payments platform to enable minors, particularly under 13 years old, to purchase goods and services, complete chores and learn in a secure online environment guided by parental permission, oversight, and control, while remaining Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) and General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) compliant.

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

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

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

ZOOM Solutions, Inc. (“ZS”)

ZS (formerly Zoom Payment Solutions, Inc.) was incorporated in the state of Delaware on February 16, 2018 as a subsidiary of REGO Payment Architectures, Inc. REGO owns 100% of the common stock of ZS. ZS is the holding company for various subsidiaries that may utilize REGO’s payment platform to address emerging markets.

There were minimal operations at ZS during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). These statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which management believes necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements and have been prepared on a consistent basis using the accounting policies described in the summary of accounting policies included in the Company’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Form 10-K”). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed, or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the accompanying disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The accompanying unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 as filed with the SEC. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023.

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

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt – Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges or Freestanding Equity – Classified Written Call Options. The amendments in this Update clarify an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity – classified written call options (for example, warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. The amendments are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity should apply the amendments prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring on or after the effective date of the amendments. Early adoption is permitted for all entities, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity elects to early adopt the amendments in this Update in an interim period, the guidance should be applied as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the interim period. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2022 which did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosure.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

As of March 31, 2023, there are no recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted which would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

MANAGEMENT PLANS

NOTE 2 – MANAGEMENT PLANS

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

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

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

As of May 15, 2023, the Company has a cash position of approximately $4.7 million. Based upon the current cash position and the Company’s planned expense run rate, management believes the Company has funds currently to finance its operations through December 2023.

Income tax expense was $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

As of January 1, 2023, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits, and accordingly, the Company did not recognize interest or penalties during 2023 related to unrecognized tax benefits. There has been no change in unrecognized tax benefits during the three months ended March 31, 2023, and there was no accrual for uncertain tax positions as of March 31, 2023. Tax years from 2019 through 2022 remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions.

NOTE 10 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

On September 22, 2022 the Company engaged an investment banking firm to explore a prospective sale of the Company. The Company will pay a fee equal to 1.5% of the transaction value upon closing. This contingency has not yet been met.

Issuance of Restricted Shares

A restricted stock award (“RSA”) is an award of common shares that is subject to certain restrictions during a specified period. Restricted stock awards are independent of option grants and are generally subject to forfeiture if employment terminates prior to the release of the restrictions. The grantee cannot transfer the shares before the restricted shares vest. Shares of nonvested restricted stock have the same voting rights as common stock, are entitled to receive dividends and other distributions thereon and are considered to be currently issued and outstanding. The Company’s restricted stock awards generally vest over a period of one year. The Company expenses the cost of the restricted stock awards, which is determined to be the fair market value of the shares at the date of grant, straight-line over the period during which the restrictions lapse. For these purposes, the fair market value of the restricted stock is determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date.

STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

NOTE 11 – STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

During 2008, the Board of Directors (“Board”) of the Company adopted the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (“2008 Plan”) that was approved by the stockholders. Under the 2008 Plan, the Company was authorized to grant options to purchase up to 25,000,000 shares of common stock to any officer, other employee or director of, or any consultant or other independent contractor who provides services to the Company. The 2008 Plan was intended to permit stock options granted to employees under the 2008 Plan to qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Incentive Stock Options”). All options granted under the 2008 Plan, which are not intended to qualify as Incentive Stock Options are deemed to be non-qualified options (“Non-Statutory Stock Options”).

During 2013, the Board adopted the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (“2013 Plan”), which was approved by stockholders at the 2013 annual meeting of stockholders. Under the 2013 Plan, the Company is authorized to grant awards of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards of up to an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of common stock to any officer, employee, director or consultant. The 2013 Plan is intended to permit stock options granted to employees under the 2013 Plan to qualify as Incentive Stock Options. All options granted under the 2013 Plan, which are not intended to qualify as Incentive Stock Options are deemed to be Non-Statutory Stock Options. As of March 31, 2023, under the 2013 Plan, grants of restricted stock and options to purchase 3,487,500 shares of common stock have been issued and are unexercised, and 300,000 shares of common stock remain available for grants under the 2013 Plan.

The 2013 Plan is administered by the Board or its compensation committee, which determines the persons to whom awards will be granted, the number of awards to be granted, and the specific terms of each grant, including the vesting thereof, subject to the terms of the 2013 Plan.

The Company also grants stock options outside the 2013 Plan on terms determined by the Board.

In connection with Incentive Stock Options, the exercise price of each option may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of the grant (or 110% of the fair market value in the case of a grantee holding more than 10% of the outstanding stock of the Company).

Prior to January 1, 2014, volatility in all instances presented is the Company’s estimate of volatility that is based on the volatility of other public companies that are in closely related industries to the Company. Beginning January 1, 2014, volatility in all instances presented is the Company’s estimate of volatility that is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock.

The following table presents the weighted-average assumptions used to estimate the fair values of the stock options granted by REGO during the three months ended March 31, 2023:

Risk Free Interest Rate		4.2	%
Expected Volatility		77.6	%
Expected Life (in years)		2.0
Dividend Yield		0	%
Weighted average estimated fair value of options during the period	$	0.58

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company issued options to purchase 597,875 shares of the Company’s common stock to various consultants and employees. The options were valued at $346,086 fair value, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the grant-date fair value of the options. The fair value of options was expensed immediately.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, 80,000 options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock were exercised at various strike prices for aggregate proceeds of $79,600.

The following table summarizes the activities for REGO’s stock options for the three months ended March 31, 2023:

(1) The aggregate intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying options and the closing stock price of $1.21 for Rego’s common stock on March 31, 2023.

REGO expensed $504,862 and $403,686 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 with respect to stock options.

As of March 31, 2023, there was $0 of unrecognized compensation cost related to outstanding stock options. The difference, if any, between the stock options exercisable at March 31, 2023 and the stock options exercisable and expected to vest relates to management’s estimate of options expected to vest in the future.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Nature of the Business

Nature of the Business

REGO Payment Architectures, Inc. (“REGO”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware on February 11, 2008.

REGO Payment Architectures, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, except where the context requires, the “Company”) is a provider of consumer software that delivers a mobile payment platform solution—Mazoola® - a family focused mobile banking solution. Headquartered in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania, the Company maintains a portfolio of trade secrets and four US patent awards. REGO offers an all-digital financial payments platform to enable minors, particularly under 13 years old, to purchase goods and services, complete chores and learn in a secure online environment guided by parental permission, oversight, and control, while remaining Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) and General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) compliant.

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

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

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

ZOOM Solutions, Inc. (“ZS”)

ZS (formerly Zoom Payment Solutions, Inc.) was incorporated in the state of Delaware on February 16, 2018 as a subsidiary of REGO Payment Architectures, Inc. REGO owns 100% of the common stock of ZS. ZS is the holding company for various subsidiaries that may utilize REGO’s payment platform to address emerging markets.

There were minimal operations at ZS during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). These statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which management believes necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements and have been prepared on a consistent basis using the accounting policies described in the summary of accounting policies included in the Company’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Form 10-K”). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed, or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the accompanying disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The accompanying unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 as filed with the SEC. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023.

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

The amendments are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity should apply the amendments prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring on or after the effective date of the amendments. Early adoption is permitted for all entities, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity elects to early adopt the amendments in this Update in an interim period, the guidance should be applied as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the interim period.
