BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

These interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). These interim unaudited financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows of BMT for the interim periods presented. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near-term relate to the valuation of deferred tax assets, the valuation of the private warrants, and the annual goodwill and intangible asset impairment analysis. Prior periods presented for comparative purposes represent the balances and activity of BankMobile Technologies, Inc. (other than shares which were retroactively restated in connection with the merger).

Seasonality

BMT’s higher education serviced deposits fluctuate throughout the year due primarily to the relationship between the deposits level and the typical cycles of student enrollment in higher education institutions. Serviced deposit balances typically experience seasonal lows in June and July when student enrollment is lower and experience seasonal highs in September and January when student enrollment is high and individual account balances are generally at their peak. Debit spend follows a similar seasonal trend, but may slightly lag increases in balances.

Impact of COVID-19

In March 2020, the outbreak of COVID-19 was recognized as a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The spread of COVID-19 created a global public health crisis that resulted in unprecedented uncertainty, economic volatility and disruption in financial markets and in governmental, commercial and consumer activity in the United States and globally, including the markets that BMT serves. With the initial outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020, the Company experienced an initial decline in revenues as compared to the pre-COVID-19 period, which was followed by an increase in revenues resulting from the benefit of federal stimulus on account balances and activity levels, a trend that has continued into the first quarter of 2021. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will impact the operations and financial results of BMT during the remainder of 2021 and beyond remains uncertain, and we will continue to monitor the impact closely.

Significant Accounting Policies

These interim unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2020 audited financial statements of BMT, which describe BMT’s significant accounting policies. There have been no material changes to BMT’s significant accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2021. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements have been omitted from these interim unaudited financial statements as permitted by U.S. GAAP and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

As an emerging growth company (“EGC”), the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”) allows the Company to delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are applicable to private companies. The Company has elected not to use the extended transition period under the JOBS Act.

The Company has both Private and Public Warrants outstanding which are being treated differently for accounting purposes. Note 9 - Shareholders’ Equity provides additional information.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

On January 1, 2021, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASU 2019-12: Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740), which removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and improves the application of and simplifies guidance for other areas of Topic 740. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Adopted

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”), which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity.

This ASU (1) simplifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock by removing the existing guidance in ASC 470-20, Debt: Debt with Conversion and Other Options, that requires entities to account for beneficial conversion features and cash conversion features in equity, separately from the host convertible debt or preferred stock; (2) revises the scope exception from derivative accounting in ASC 815-40 for freestanding financial instruments and embedded features that are both indexed to the issuer’s own stock and classified in stockholders’ equity, by removing certain criteria required for equity classification; and (3) revises the guidance in ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, to require entities to calculate diluted earnings per share (EPS) for convertible instruments by using the if-converted method. In addition, entities must presume share settlement for purposes of calculating diluted EPS when an instrument may be settled in cash or shares.

As a smaller reporting company, ASU 2020-06 is effective for BMT for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Entities should adopt the guidance as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption and cannot adopt the guidance in an interim reporting period. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2020-06 may have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
