NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a.    Principles of consolidation and basis of presentation:

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Payoneer Global Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in an entity where we have the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the investee are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. For such investments, our share of the investee’s results of operations is shown within Share in losses of associated company on our condensed consolidated statements of income and our investment balance as an investment in associated company on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The consolidated interim financial information herein is unaudited; however, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments and except for the Reverse Recapitalization), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim period. The results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto of Payoneer Global Inc. and Legacy Payoneer and its subsidiaries.

b.    Accounting principles:

The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America (hereafter - U.S. GAAP).

c.    Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, share-based compensation, revenue recognition, valuation allowance on deferred taxes, contingencies, transaction loss provision and allowance for CA losses.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

d.    Capital Advance (CA) receivable, net (continued):

Beginning in 2022, allowance for CA losses is primarily based on expectations of credit losses based on historical lifetime loss data as well as macroeconomic forecasts applied to the portfolio, which is segmented by programs. Loss rates are generated using historical loss data for each portfolio and are applied to segments of each portfolio. We then apply macroeconomic factors such as market unemployment rate, current and forecasted GDP, S&P yield and inflation rate, which are sourced externally, using a single scenario that we believe is most appropriate to the economic conditions applicable to a particular period. Expected credit loss, inclusive of historical loss data and macroeconomic factors, are applied to the principal amount of our CA receivables. 

Prior to 2022, the Company had implemented a risk-based methodology that was used to estimate future losses based on historical loss experience as well as the qualitative judgment when historical loss data was not available. For product offerings with sufficient historical loss experience, the Company developed loss estimates based on receivable balance attributes such as account payment status, percentage of collections per day, and length of time from advance to collection. Based on these attributes, a historical loss rate is applied to calculate the allowance for CA losses. For product offerings that did not have significant historical loss data to develop a historical loss percentage, the Company estimated losses by evaluating portfolio factors such as average balance outstanding by customer as well as creating specific identification provisions for known collection risks.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company applied a range of loss rates to the CA portfolio of 0.7% to 1.6% for the allowance for CA losses. As of June 30, 2021, the Company applied a range of loss rates to the CA portfolio of 2.8% to 4.1%.

Below is a rollforward for the allowance for CA losses (“ALCAL”) for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

e.    Revenue:

Entity-wide disclosure

We determine operating segments based on how our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) manages the business, makes operating decisions around the allocation of resources, and evaluates operating performance. The CODM are the Company’s Co- Chief Executive Officers, who review our operating results on a consolidated basis. We operate in one segment and have one reportable segment. Based on the information provided to and reviewed by our CODM, we believe that the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of our revenue and cash flows and how they are affected by economic factors are most appropriately depicted through our primary geographical markets.

Customer acquisition costs

The Company recognizes an asset for incremental costs to obtain a contract such as sales commissions and other customer incentives. The asset is amortized on a systematic basis over the expected customer relationship period, which is estimated to be 1.8 years and is consistent with the pattern of recognition of the associated revenue.

The Company periodically reviews these deferred customer acquisition costs to determine whether events or changes in circumstances have occurred that could impact the period of benefit. There were no impairment losses recorded during the periods presented. The following table represents a rollforward of deferred customer acquisition costs for the six months ended:

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

f.    Recently issued accounting pronouncements:

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 made applicable to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period under the JOBS Act until such time the Company no longer meets the definition of EGC. The adoption dates referenced below reflect this election, except for permitted early adoption upon the Company’s election. The Company will become a large accelerated filer on the last day of its fiscal year 2022 and, therefore, the company will no longer qualify as an EGC. The anticipated adoption dates of standards issued, but not yet adopted reflect this upcoming change in status.

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) standards adopted during 2022

In 2016, the FASB issued new guidance on the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments. Credit losses on loans, trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities and other instruments will reflect the Company’s current estimate of the expected credit losses (“CECL”). CECL requires loss estimates for the remaining estimated life of the financial instrument using historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Generally, the Company expected that CECL will result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses compared to the current approach of estimating probable incurred losses. The Company is required to apply the provisions of this guidance as a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. The Company early adopted the new guidance effective January 1, 2022. For additional information, refer to Note 2d.

In 2020, the FASB issued guidance simplifying the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. In addition to other changes, this standard amends ASC 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options,” by removing the accounting models for instruments with beneficial conversion features and cash conversion features. The standard also amends ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share” addressing the impacts of these instruments. The guidance is effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company early adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2022 and the impact of the adoption on the consolidated financial statements was immaterial.

FASB Standards issued, but not adopted as of June 30, 2022

In 2020, the FASB issued amended guidance that provides transition relief for the accounting impact of reference rate reform. For a limited duration, this guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to certain contract modifications, hedging relationships, and other transactions that will be impacted by a reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. The amended guidance is effective through December 31, 2022. The Company does not expect reference rate reform to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
