| 1 | ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION
OF BUSINESS |
On May 12, 2016, Innovative Payment
Solutions, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“IPSI” or the “Company”) (originally formed on September 23, 2013 under
the name “Asiya Pearls, Inc.”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Qpagos
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Qpagos Corporation”), and Qpagos Merge, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on May 12, 2016, the merger was consummated,
and Qpagos Corporation and Merger Sub merged (the “Merger”), with Qpagos Corporation continuing as the surviving corporation
of the Merger. On May 27, 2016, the Company’s name was changed from “Asiya Pearls, Inc.” to “QPAGOS”.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, upon
consummation of the Merger, each share of Qpagos Corporation’s capital stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger
was converted into the right to receive two shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common
Stock”). Additionally, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, upon consummation of the Merger, the Company assumed all of Qpagos Corporation’s
warrants issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger, which were exercisable for an aggregate of approximately 621,920 shares
of Common Stock as of the date of the Merger. Prior to and as a condition to the closing of the Merger, a then-current holder of 500,000
shares of Common Stock agreed to return 497,500 shares of Common Stock held by such holder to the Company and such holder retained an
aggregate of 2,500 shares of Common Stock. The other then stockholders of the Company retained 500,000 shares of Common Stock. Therefore,
immediately following the Merger, Qpagos Corporation’s former stockholders held 4,992,900 shares of Common Stock which represented
approximately 91% of the outstanding Common Stock.
The Merger was treated as a reverse
acquisition of the Company, then a public shell company, for financial accounting and reporting purposes. As such, Qpagos Corporation
was treated as the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes while the Company was treated as the acquired entity for
accounting and financial reporting purposes.
Qpagos Corporation was incorporated
on May 1, 2015 under the laws of the state of Delaware to effectuate a reverse merger transaction with Qpagos, S.A.P.I. de C.V. (“Qpagos
Mexico”) and Redpag Electrónicos S.A.P.I. de C.V. (“Redpag”). Each of the entities were incorporated in November
2013 in Mexico. Qpagos Mexico was formed to process payment transactions for service providers it contracts with, and Redpag was formed
to deploy and operate kiosks as a distributor.
On June 1, 2016, the board of directors
of the Company (the “Board”) changed the Company’s fiscal year end from October 31 to December 31.
On November 1, 2019, the Company
changed its corporate name from “QPAGOS” to “Innovative Payment Solutions, Inc.” Additionally, and immediately
following the name change, the Company filed a Certificate of Change with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada to effect a reverse
split of the then outstanding Common Stock at a ratio of 1-for-10, effective on November 1, 2019 (the “Reverse Stock Split”).
As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, each ten pre-split shares of Common Stock outstanding automatically combined into one new share
of Common Stock without any further action on the part of the holders, and the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reduced
from 320,477,867 shares to 32,047,817 after rounding for fractional shares.
On December 31, 2019, the Company consummated
the disposal of Qpagos Corporation, Qpagos Mexico and Redpag in exchange for 2,250,000 shares (the “Vivi Shares”) of common
stock of Vivi Holdings, Inc. (“Vivi” or “Vivi Holdings”) pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated August
5, 2019 (the “SPA”). Of the 2,250,000 shares of Vivi, nine percent (9%) was allocated as follows: Gaston Pereira (5%), Andrey
Novikov (2.5%), and Joseph Abrams (1.5%). The transactions contemplated by the SPA closed on December 31, 2019 after the satisfaction
of customary conditions, the receipt of a final fairness opinion and the approval of the Company’s shareholders. As a result, the
Company no longer has any business operations in Mexico and has retained its U.S. operations, currently based in Carmel By The Sea,
California.

| 1 | ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION
OF BUSINESS (continued) |
| b) | Description of current business |
The Company is presently focused on operating
and developing e-wallets that enable consumers to deposit cash, convert it into a digital form and remit the funds to Mexico and other
countries quickly and securely. The Company’s first e-wallet, Beyond Wallet, is currently operational. The Company’s flagship
e-wallet, IPSIPay, is fully operational. IPSIPay was first launched in December 2021 and its commercial launch has continued during 2022.
Previously the Company intended to invest in physical kiosks, which required the user presence at the kiosk location. The Company still
intends to use its existing kiosks in certain target markets within Southern California, but its principal focus will be on downloadable
apps used via smartphones.
The Company acquired a 10% strategic
interest in Frictionless Financial Technologies, Inc. (“Frictionless”) on June 22, 2021. Frictionless agreed to
deliver to the Company, a live fully compliant financial payment Software as a Service solution for use by the Company as a digital payment
platform that enables payments within the United States and abroad, including Mexico, together with a service agreement providing a full
suite of product services to facilitate the Company’s anticipated product offerings. The Company has an irrevocable right to acquire
up to an additional 41% of the outstanding common stock of Frictionless at a purchase price of $300,000 for each 1% acquired.
On August 26, 2021, the Company formed
a new subsidiary, Beyond Fintech, Inc. (“Beyond Fintech”), in which it owns a 51% stake, with Frictionless owning
the remaining 49%. Beyond Fintech acquired an exclusive license to a product known as Beyond Wallet, to further its
objective of providing virtual payment services allowing U.S. persons to transfer funds to Mexico and other countries.
The COVID-19 pandemic has required
the Company’s management to focus its attention primarily on responding to the challenges presented by the pandemic, including
ensuring continuous operations, and adjusting its operations to address changes in the virtual payments industry. Due to measures imposed
by the local governments in areas affected by COVID-19 (including both in the United States and Mexico), businesses had been suspended
due to quarantines intended to contain this outbreak and many people had been forced to work from home in those areas. As a result, the
commercial launch of the Company’s e-wallets and the limited installation of the Company’s network of kiosks in Southern
California had been delayed, which has had an adverse impact on the Company’s business and financial condition and has hampered
the Company’s ability to generate revenues. As the COVID-19 pandemic evolves, the Company may face similar challenges in the future
which could lead to material adverse impacts on the Company.
| 2 | ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES |
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial
information with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed financial statements
do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management,
the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments), which
the Company considers necessary, for a fair presentation of those financial statements. The results of operations and cash flows for the
six months ended June 30, 2022 may not necessarily be indicative of results that may be expected for any succeeding quarter or for the
entire fiscal year. The information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Report”) should be read in conjunction
with the audited financial statements of IPSI for the year ended December 31, 2021, included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 31, 2022.
All amounts referred to in the notes
to the unaudited condensed financial statements are in United States Dollars ($) unless stated otherwise.

(continued) |
| b) | Principles of Consolidation |
The unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary in which it has a majority voting interest. All
significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
The entities included in the accompanying
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are as follows:
Innovative Payment Solutions, Inc.
- Parent Company
Beyond Fintech Inc., 51% owned.
The preparation of unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions, which are evaluated
on an ongoing basis, that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.
Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances,
the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the amounts of revenues
and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates and judgments. In particular,
significant estimates and judgments include those related to, the estimated useful lives for plant and equipment, the fair value of long-lived
investments, the fair value of warrants and stock options granted for services or compensation, estimates of the probability and potential
magnitude of contingent liabilities, derivative liabilities, the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets due to continuing operating
losses and the allowance for doubtful accounts.
Making estimates requires management
to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set
of circumstances that existed at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which management considered in
formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could
differ significantly from our estimates.
Certain conditions may exist as of
the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in the generation of continuing losses by the Company, but which will
only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur.
The Company’s management assesses
such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment.
If the assessment of a contingency
indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated
liability would be accrued in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates
that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the
nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material would be disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered to be remote by management are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the
guarantee would be disclosed.

| 2 | ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
(continued) |
| e) | Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
The Company adopted the guidance of
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 for fair value measurements which clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes
methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1-Inputs are unadjusted quoted
prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.
Level 2-Inputs are unadjusted quoted
prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets
that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market
data.
Level 3-Inputs are unobservable inputs
which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset
or liability based on the best available information.
The carrying amounts reported in the
balance sheets for the investment in Vivi Holdings was evaluated at fair value using Level 3 Inputs based on the Company’s estimate
of the market value of the entities disposed to Vivi Holdings. Vivi Holdings does not have sufficient information available to assess
the current market price of its equity.
The carrying amounts reported in the
balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, other current assets, other assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and notes payable,
approximate fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments. The Company has identified the short-term
convertible notes and certain warrants attached to certain of the notes that are required to be presented on the balance sheets at fair
value in accordance with the accounting guidance.
ASC 825-10 “Financial Instruments”
allows entities to voluntarily choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value (fair value option). The fair
value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable, unless a new election date occurs. If the fair value
option is elected for an instrument, unrealized gains and losses for that instrument should be reported in earnings at each subsequent
reporting date. We evaluate the fair value of variably priced derivative liabilities on a quarterly basis and report any movements thereon
in earnings.
| f) | Risks and Uncertainties |
The Company’s operations are and will be subject to significant
risks and uncertainties including financial, operational, regulatory, and other risks, including the potential risk of business failure.
These risks include, without limitation, risks associated with (i) COVID-19 and its variants, (ii) launching and scaling the Company’s
products and the use by customers of such products, (iii) developing and implementing successful marketing campaigns and other strategic
initiatives; (iv) competition, (iv) compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations (including those related to fund remittance);
(v) the Company’s outstanding indebtedness, including the Company’s ability to repay or extend the maturity of such indebtedness
(see Note 8); (vi) inflation and other economic factors and (vii) the Company’s ability to obtain necessary financing. These conditions
may not only limit the Company’s access to capital, but also make it difficult for its customers, vendors and the Company to accurately
forecast and plan future business activities.
The Company’s results may also
be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, and rates
and methods of taxation, among other things. Many of these risks are beyond the Company’s control and are unpredictable. The Company
may be unable to adequately manage such risks and similar risks, which could impair the viability of the Company.
| g) | Recent accounting pronouncements |
The Financial Accounting Standards
Board (“FASB”) issued additional updates during the quarter ended June 30, 2022. None of these standards are either applicable
to the Company or require adoption at a future date and none are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed
consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

| 2 | ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
(continued) |
No segmental information is required
as the Company has not generated any revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 and only has one operating segment.
| i) | Cash and Cash Equivalents |
The Company considers all highly liquid
investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. At June 30, 2022 and 2021,
respectively, the Company had no cash equivalents.
The Company minimizes credit risk associated
with cash by periodically evaluating the credit quality of its primary financial institution in the United States. The balance at times
may exceed federally insured limits. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the balance exceed the federally insured limit by $2,031,868 and
$5,117,551, respectively.
| j) | Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts |
Accounts receivable are reported at
realizable value, net of allowances for doubtful accounts, which is estimated and recorded in the period the related revenue is recorded.
The Company has a standardized approach to estimate and review the collectability of its receivables based on a number of factors, including
the period they have been outstanding. Historical collection and payer reimbursement experience is an integral part of the estimation
process related to allowances for doubtful accounts. In addition, the Company regularly assesses the state of its billing operations
in order to identify issues, which may impact the collectability of these receivables or reserve estimates. Revisions to the allowance
for doubtful accounts estimates are recorded as an adjustment to bad debt expense. Receivables deemed uncollectible are charged against
the allowance for doubtful accounts at the time such receivables are written-off. Recoveries of receivables previously written-off are
recorded as credits to the allowance for doubtful accounts. There were no recoveries during the period ended June 30, 2022 and December
31, 2021.
The Company’s non-marketable
equity securities are investments in privately held companies without readily determinable market values. The carrying value of our non-marketable
equity securities is adjusted to fair value for observable transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer or impairment
(referred to as the measurement alternative). All gains and losses on non-marketable equity securities, realized and unrealized, are
recognized in other income (expense), net. Non-marketable equity securities that have been remeasured during the period are classified
within Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy because the Company estimates the value based on valuation methods using the observable transaction
price at the transaction date and other unobservable inputs including volatility, rights, and obligations of the securities the Company
holds. The cost method is used when the Company has a passive, long-term investment that doesn’t result in influence over the Company.
The cost method is used when the investment results in an ownership stake of less than 20%, and there is no substantial influence.
Under the cost method, the stock purchased is recorded on a balance sheet as a non-current asset at the historical acquisition/purchase
price, and is not modified unless shares are sold, additional shares are purchased or there is evidence of the fair market value of the
investment declining below carrying value. Any dividends received are recorded as income.
Plant and equipment is stated at cost,
less accumulated depreciation. Plant and equipment with costs greater than $1,000 are capitalized and depreciated. Depreciation
is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives of the assets are
as follows:
Description |
|
Estimated Useful Life |
|
|
|
Kiosks (not used in the Company’s current business) |
|
7 years |
|
|
|
Computer equipment |
|
3 years |
|
|
|
Leasehold improvements |
|
Lesser of estimated useful life or life of lease |
|
|
|
Office equipment |
|
10 years |
The cost of repairs and maintenance
is expensed as incurred. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts,
and any resulting gains or losses are included in income in the year of disposition.

Assets are reviewed for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets
to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to
be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which
the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.
The Company’s revenue recognition
policy is consistent with the requirements of FASB ASC 606, Revenue Recognition.
The Company’s revenues will be
recognized when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration
that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those services. The Company derives its revenues from the sale of its services, as
defined below. The Company applies the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized
as it fulfills its obligations under each of its revenue transactions:
| i. | identify the contract with a
customer; |
| ii. | identify the performance obligations
in the contract; |
| iii. | determine the transaction price; |
| iv. | allocate the transaction price
to performance obligations in the contract; and |
| v. | recognize revenue as the performance
obligation is satisfied. |
The Company had no revenues during
the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.
| o) | Share-Based Payment Arrangements |
Generally, all forms of share-based
payments, including stock option grants, restricted stock grants and stock appreciation rights are measured at their fair value on the
awards’ grant date, based on the estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Share-based compensation awards
issued to non-employees for services rendered are recorded at either the fair value of the services rendered or the fair value of the
share-based payment, whichever is more readily determinable. The expense resulting from share-based payments is recorded in operating
expenses in the consolidated statement of operations.
Prior to the Company’s reverse
merger which took place on May 12, 2016, all share-based payments were based on management’s estimate of market value of the Company’s
equity. The factors considered in determining managements estimate of market value includes, assumptions of future revenues, expected
cash flows, market acceptability of our technology and the current market conditions. These assumptions are complex and highly subjective,
compounded by the business being in its early stage of development in a new market with limited data available.
Where equity transactions with arms-length
third parties, who had applied their own assumptions and estimates in determining the market value of our equity, had taken place prior
to and within a reasonable time frame of any share-based payments, the value of those share transactions have been used as the fair value
for any share-based equity payments.
Where equity transactions with arms-length
third parties, included both shares and warrants, the value of the warrants have been eliminated from the unit price of the securities
using a Black-Scholes valuation model to determine the value of the warrants. The assumptions used in the Black Scholes valuation model
includes market related interest rates for risk-free government issued treasury securities with similar maturities; the expected volatility
of the Common Stock based on companies operating in similar industries and markets; the estimated stock price of the Company; the expected
dividend yield of the Company and; the expected life of the warrants being valued.
Subsequent to the Company’s reverse
merger which took place on May 12, 2016, the Company has utilized the market value of its Common Stock as quoted on the OTCQB, as an
indicator of the fair value of its Common Stock in determining share- based payment arrangements.

ASC 815 generally provides three criteria
that, if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative
financial instruments. These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded
derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid
instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re- measured at fair value under otherwise
applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate
instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument subject to the requirements
of ASC 815. ASC 815 also provides an exception to this rule when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional, as described.
The Company is based in the US and
currently enacted US tax laws are used in the calculation of income taxes.
Income taxes are computed using
the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined
based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the
currently enacted tax rates and laws. A full valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on
available evidence, are not expected to be realized. It is the Company’s policy to classify interest and penalties on income
taxes as interest expense or penalties expense. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there have been no interest or penalties
incurred on income taxes.
Comprehensive income is defined as
the change in equity of a company during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances excluding transactions resulting
from investments from owners and distributions to owners. The Company does not have any comprehensive income (loss) for the periods presented.
| s) | Reclassification of prior
year presentation |
Certain prior year amounts have been
reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.
The Company has incurred net losses
since its inception and anticipates net losses and negative operating cash flows for the near future. For and as of the end of six
months ended June 30, 2022, the Company had a net loss of $2,897,578 and had $2,531,868 in cash. In connection with preparing
the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2022, management evaluated the extent of the
impact from the COVID-19 pandemic and other risks described in Note 2(f) above on the Company’s business and its future liquidity
for the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements.
The Company had a cash balance of $2,531,868 available
as of June 30, 2022. Based on its evaluation of the Company’s current business plan, and assuming the Company can extend the maturity
date of its existing indebtedness (see Note 8), management believes the Company’s existing cash is sufficient to conduct planned
operations for at least one year from the date of issuance of these financial statements.
However, given the Company’s losses, negative cash flows and
existing indebtedness, it is likely that the Company will be required to raise significant additional funds to progress its business as
planned by issuing equity or equity-linked securities. Should this occur, the Company’s stockholders would experience dilution,
perhaps significantly. Additional debt financing, if available, may involve covenants restricting the Company’s operations or its
ability to incur additional debt. Any additional debt financing or additional equity that the Company raises may contain terms that are
not favorable to the Company or its stockholders and require significant debt service payments, which diverts resources from other activities.
Moreover, there is a risk that financing may be unavailable to support the Company’s operations on favorable terms, or at all.
There is also a significant risk that
none of the Company’s plans to raise financing will be implemented in a manner necessary to sustain the Company for an extended
period of time. If adequate funds are not available to the Company when needed, the Company may be required to continue with reduced
operations or to obtain funds through arrangements that may require the Company to relinquish rights to technologies or potential markets,
any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company. In addition, the Company’s inability to secure additional
funding when needed could cause the Company’s business to fail or become bankrupt or force the Company to wind down or discontinue
operations.

Investment
in Vivi Holdings, Inc.
Effective
December 31, 2019, the Company sold 100% of the outstanding common stock of its subsidiary, Qpagos Corporation, together with its 99.9%
ownership interest of Qpagos Corporation’s two Mexican entities: Qpagos S.A.P.I. de C.V. and Redpag Electrónicos S.A.P.I.
de C.V, to Vivi.
As
consideration for the disposal, Vivi issued an aggregate of 2,250,000 Vivi Shares as follows: 2,047,500 Vivi Shares

Bellridge
Capital LP.
| ● | On February 16, 2021, the Company closed a transaction with Bellridge Capital LP., pursuant to which the Company received net proceeds of $787,500, after an original issue discount of $112,500 in exchange for the issuance of a $900,000 Senior Secured Convertible Note, bearing interest at 10% per annum and maturing on February 16, 2022 (the “Bellridge Note”).

The
Bellridge Note was repaid on February 4, 2022 for gross proceeds of $1,235,313, including interest thereon of $88,250, thereby extinguishing
the Bellridge Note.
Certain
of the short-term convertible notes disclosed in note 8 above and certain warrants disclosed in note 10 below have fundamental transaction
clauses which might result in cash settlement, due to these factors, all convertible notes and any warrants attached thereto are valued
and give rise to a derivative financial liability, which was initially valued at inception of the convertible notes using a Black-Scholes
valuation model.
The
value of this derivative financial liability was re-assessed at June 30, 2022 at $557,102, and $242,102 and $149,941 was charged
to the statement of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2022. The value of the derivative liability will be
re-assessed at each financial reporting period, with any movement thereon recorded in the statement of operations in the period in which
it is incurred.
