NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
September 30, 2021
Note 1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
PAID, Inc. (“PAID”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) has developed AuctionInc, which is a suite of online shipping and tax management tools assisting businesses with e-commerce storefronts, shipping solutions, tax calculation, inventory management, and auction processing. The product has tools to assist with other aspects of the fulfillment process, but the main purpose of the product is to provide accurate shipping and tax calculations and packaging algorithms that provide customers with the best possible shipping and tax solutions.
BeerRun Software (“BeerRun”) is a brewery management and Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau tax reporting software. Small craft brewers can utilize the product to manage brewery schedules, inventory, packaging, sales and purchasing. Tax reporting can be processed with a single click and is fully customizable by state or province. The software is designed to integrate with QuickBooks accounting platforms by using our powerful sync engine. We currently offer two versions of the software BeerRun and BeerRun Light which excludes some of the enhanced features of BeerRun without disrupting the core functionality of the software. Additional features include Brewpad and Kegmaster and can be added on to the base product. Craft brewing is on the rise in the United States, and we feel that there is a large potential to grow this portion of our business.
ShipTime Canada Inc. (“ShipTime”) has developed a SaaS-based application, which focuses on the small and medium business segments. This offering allows members to quote, process, generate labels, dispatch and track courier and LTL shipments all from a single interface. The application provides customers with a choice of today’s leading couriers and freight carriers all with discounted pricing allowing members to save on every shipment. ShipTime can also be integrated into on-line shopping carts to facilitate sales via e-commerce. We actively sell directly to small and medium businesses and through long-standing partnerships with selected associations throughout Canada.
PaidPayments provides commerce solutions to small - and medium-sized businesses by enabling them to sell their goods and services, accept payment, and create repeat sales though an online payment processing solution. The Company has operated as a Payment Facilitator since 2019, which enables our merchants to get the benefit of instant boarding and discounted rates. Our platform provides all aspects required for payment processing, including merchant boarding, underwriting, fraud monitoring, settlement, funding to the sub-merchant, and monthly reporting and statements. The Company controls all of these necessary aspects in the payment process and is then able to supply a one-step boarding process for our partners and value-added resellers. This capability also provides cost advantages, rapid response to market needs, simplified processes for boarding business and a seamless interface for our merchant customers.
General Presentation and Basis of Consolidated Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 that was filed on March 31, 2021.
In the opinion of management, the Company has prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements on the same basis as its audited consolidated financial statements, and these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. The operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year 2021.
Liquidity and Management’s Plans
As of and for the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company reported cash and cash equivalents of $
Management believes that the growth of the PAID platform of services in addition to the continued profitability of ShipTime’s services will return a valuable impact on the Company’s success in the future. The ongoing positive cash flows from operations is a significant indicator of our successful transition to the new shipping and eCommerce services. In addition to the existing services provided, ShipTime will launch products in the United States that are complementary to the current offerings. The Company also continues to seek alternate sources of capital to support future operations.
Although there can be no assurances, the Company believes that the above management plans will be sufficient to meet the Company's working capital requirements through the end of November 2022 and will have a positive impact on the Company for the foreseeable future.
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PAID, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, PAID Run, LLC and ShipTime Canada, Inc. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year’s financial statements to conform to classifications used in the current year.
Foreign Currency
The currency of ShipTime, the Company’s international subsidiary, is in Canadian dollars. Foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates in effect at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Results of operations and cash flows are translated using the average exchange rates throughout the period. The effect of exchange rate fluctuations on translation of assets and liabilities is included as a separate component of shareholders’ equity in accumulated other comprehensive income.
Geographic Concentrations
The Company conducts business in the U.S. and Canada. For customers headquartered in their respective countries, the Company derived approximately
At September 30, 2021, the Company maintained
Right-of-Use Assets
A right-of-use asset represents a lessee’s right to use a leased asset for the term of the lease. Our right-of-use assets generally consist of an operating lease for a building.
Right-of-use assets are measured initially at the present value of the lease payments, plus any lease payments made before a lease began and any initial direct costs, such as commissions paid to obtain a lease.
Right-of-use assets are subsequently measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, adjusted for incentives, prepaid or accrued rent, and any initial direct costs not yet expensed.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews the carrying values of its long-lived assets for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the expected future cash flows from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized and measured using the fair value of the related asset. No impairment charges were recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. There can be no assurance, however, that market conditions will not change or demand for the Company’s services will continue, which could result in impairment of long-lived assets in the future.
Revenue Recognition
The Company generates revenue principally from fees for coordinating shipping services, sales of shipping calculator subscriptions, brewery management software subscriptions, merchant processing services and client services.
Nature of Goods and Services
For label generation service revenues, the Company recognizes revenue when a customer has successfully prepared a shipping label and scheduled a pickup. Customers with pickups after the end of the reporting period are recorded as contract liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The service is offered to consumers via an online registration and allows users to create a shipping label using a credit card on their account (all customers must have a valid credit card on file to process shipments on the ShipTime platform).
For shipping calculator revenues and brewery management software revenues, the Company recognizes subscription revenue on a monthly basis. Shipping calculator customers’ renewal dates are based on their date of installation and registration of the shipping calculator line of products. The timing of the revenue recognition and cash collection may vary within a given quarter and the deposits for future services are recorded as contract liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Brewery management software subscribers are billed monthly at the first of the month. All payments are made via credit card for the following month.
Merchant processing revenue consists of fees a seller pays us to process their payment transactions and is recognized upon authorization of a transaction. Revenue is recognized net of estimated refunds, which are reversals of transactions initiated by sellers. We act as the merchant of record for our sellers, which puts us in their shoes with respect to card networks and puts the risk for refunds and chargebacks on us. The gross transaction fees collected from sellers is recognized as revenue as we are the primary obligor to the seller and are responsible for processing the payment, have latitude in establishing pricing with respect to the sellers and other terms of service, have sole discretion in selecting the third party to perform the settlement, and assume the credit risk for the transaction processed.
Revenue Disaggregation
The Company operates in
Performance Obligations
At contract inception, an assessment of the goods and services promised in the contracts with customers is performed and a performance obligation is identified for each distinct promise to transfer to the customer a good or service (or bundle of goods or services). To identify the performance obligations, the Company considers all of the goods or services promised in the contract regardless of whether they are explicitly stated or are implied by customary business practices. Revenue is recognized when the performance obligation has been met, which is when the customer has successfully prepared a shipping label and scheduled a pickup for shipping coordination and label generation services. The Company considers control to have transferred at that time because the Company has a present right to payment at that time, the Company has provided the shipping label, and the customer is able to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from the shipping label.
For arrangements under which the Company provides a subscription for shipping calculator services and brewery management software, the Company satisfies its performance obligations over the life of the subscription, typically twelve months or less.
Customers of PaidPayments receive a merchant identification number which allows them to process credit card transactions. Once the transaction is approved, the funds are disbursed in an overnight feed and the Company has met its performance obligation.
The Company has no shipping and handling activities related to contracts with customers.
Revenues are recognized net of any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to government authorities.
Significant Payment Terms
Pursuant to the Company’s contracts with its customers, amounts are collected up front primarily through credit/debit card transactions. The Company has offered to its customers consolidated payments which are billed weekly and are paid with a credit card on file. Accordingly, the Company determined that its contracts with customers do not include extended payment terms or a significant financing component.
Variable Consideration
In some cases, the nature of the Company’s contracts may give rise to variable consideration, including rebates and cancellations or other similar items that generally decrease the transaction price.
Variable consideration is estimated at the most likely amount that is expected to be earned. Estimated amounts are included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of the anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available.
Revenues are recorded net of variable consideration, such as rebates, refunds, and cancellations.
Warranties
The Company’s products and services are provided on an “as is” basis and no warranties are included in the contracts with customers. Also, the Company does not offer separately priced extended warranty or product maintenance contracts.
Contract Assets
Typically, the Company has already collected revenue from the customer at the time it has satisfied its performance obligation. Accordingly, the Company has only a small balance of accounts receivable, totaling $
Contract Liabilities (Deferred Revenue)
Contract liabilities are recorded when cash payments are received in advance of the Company’s performance (including rebates). Contract liabilities were $
Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share represent income (loss) available to common shareholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income (loss) that would result from the assumed issuance. The potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate to outstanding stock options and are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share if they would reduce the reported loss per share and therefore have an anti-dilutive effect.
For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, and the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, there were approximately
The Company computes its income (loss) applicable to common shareholders by adding/subtracting dividends on preferred stock, including undeclared or unpaid dividends if cumulative, and any deemed dividends or discounts on redeemed preferred stock from its reported net income (loss) and reports the same on the face of the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic earnings (loss) per common share and diluted earnings (loss) per common share computation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

Segment Reporting
The Company reports information about segments of its business in its annual consolidated financial statements and reports selected segment information in its quarterly reports issued to shareholders. The Company also reports on its entity-wide disclosures about the products and services it provides and reports revenues and its major customers. The Company’s five reportable segments are managed separately based on fundamental differences in their operations. At September 30, 2021, the Company operated in the following five reportable segments:
| a. | Client services; |
| b. | Shipping calculator services; |
| c. | Brewery management software; |
| d. | Merchant processing services; |
| e. | Shipping coordination and label generation services; and |
| f. | Corporate operations |
The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based upon operating income. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in this summary of significant accounting policies. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer.

Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the filing date of this Form 10-Q and has determined that no subsequent events have occurred that would require recognition in the condensed consolidated financial statements or disclosure in the notes thereto, other than as disclosed herein.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” to identify, evaluate, and improve areas of GAAP for which costs and complexity can be reduced while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. The amendments for ASU No. 2019-12 simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance.

Note 4. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Matters
In the normal course of business, the Company periodically becomes involved in litigation and disputes. During 2020, the Company was notified of a dispute related to its non-renewal of the employment agreement with Mr. Allan Pratt, the Company's former CEO, in which Mr. Pratt appears to be treating it as a termination which would trigger a two-year severance payment. By further action filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware on July 6, 2021, Mr. Pratt is seeking to be reinstated as a director by challenging the Board’s approval process in reducing the board size from five to three, which was effective as of the time in which Mr. Pratt’s and Mr. Austin Lewis’ terms expired in April 2020. As of September 30, 2021, in the opinion of management, the Company had no pending litigation and disputes that would have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Indemnities and Guarantees
The Company has made certain indemnities and guarantees, under which it may be required to make payments to a guaranteed or indemnified party, in relation to certain actions or transactions. The Company indemnifies its directors, officers, employees and agents, as permitted under the laws of the State of Delaware. In connection with its facility leases, the Company has agreed to indemnify its lessors for certain claims arising from the use of the facilities. The duration of the guarantees and indemnities varies and is generally tied to the life of the agreements. These guarantees and indemnities do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential future payments the Company could be obligated to make. Historically, the Company has not been obligated nor incurred any payments for these obligations and, therefore, no liabilities have been recorded for these indemnities and guarantees in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Note 6. Leases
We have an operating lease for our corporate offices in Canada and finance leases for furniture and equipment. Our leases have remaining lease terms of months to months, and our primary operating leases include options to extend the leases for years. Future renewal options that are not likely to be executed as of the balance sheet date are excluded from right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities.
We report operating leased assets, as well as operating lease current and noncurrent obligations on our balance sheets for the right to use the building in our business. Our finance leases represent furniture and office equipment; we report the furniture and equipment, as well as finance lease current and noncurrent obligations on our balance sheet.
Generally, interest rates are stated in our leases for equipment. When no interest rate is stated in a lease, however, we review the interest rates implicit in our recent finance leases to estimate our incremental borrowing rate. We determine the rate implicit in a lease by using the most recent finance lease rate, or other method we think most closely represents our incremental borrowing rate.

Forward Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements (within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) regarding PAID, Inc. (the “Company”) and its business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Words such as "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "estimates", "could", "may", "should", "will", "would", and similar expressions or variations of such words are intended to identify forward-looking statements in this report. Additionally, statements concerning future matters such as the development of new services, technology enhancements, purchase of equipment, credit arrangements, possible changes in legislation and other statements regarding matters that are not historical are forward-looking statements.
Although forward-looking statements in this quarterly report reflect the good faith judgment of the Company's management, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known by the Company. Consequently, forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks, contingencies and uncertainties, and actual results and outcomes may differ materially from results and outcomes discussed in this report. Although the Company believes that its plans, intentions and expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company can give no assurance that its plans, intentions or expectations will be achieved. For a more complete discussion of these risk factors, see Item 1A, "Risk Factors", in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 that was filed on March 31, 2021.
For example, the Company's ability to maintain positive cash flow and to become profitable may be adversely affected as a result of a number of factors that could thwart its efforts. These factors include the Company's inability to successfully implement the Company's business and revenue model, higher costs than anticipated, the Company's inability to sell its products and services to a sufficient number of customers, the introduction of competing products or services by others, the Company's failure to attract sufficient interest in, and traffic to, its site, the Company's inability to complete development of its products, the failure of the Company's operating systems, and the Company's inability to increase its revenues as rapidly as anticipated. If the Company is not profitable in the future, it will not be able to continue its business operations.
Except as required by applicable laws, we do not intend to publish updates or revisions of any forward-looking statements we make to reflect new information, future events or otherwise. Readers are urged to review carefully and to consider the various disclosures made by the Company in this Quarterly Report, which attempts to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

This capability also provides cost advantages, rapid response to market needs, simplified processes for boarding business and a seamless interface for our merchant customers.
Significant Accounting Policies
Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 included in our Form 10-K filed on March 31, 2021, as updated and amended in Note 1 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein. However, certain of our accounting policies, most notably with respect to revenue recognition, are particularly important to the portrayal of our financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by our management; as a result, they are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. In applying these policies, our management makes estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures. Those estimates and judgments are based upon our historical experience, the terms of existing contracts, our observance of trends in the industry, information that we obtain from our customers and outside sources, and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Working Capital and Liquidity
The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $2,480,524 at September 30, 2021, compared to $1,644,210 at December 31, 2020. The Company had net working capital of $739,063 at September 30, 2021, an improvement of $520,448 compared to $218,615 at December 31, 2020. The increase in net working capital is attributable to the 18% growth of the Company’s revenues for 2021. The increase in cash and cash equivalents is due to the additional growth of the business along with the savings related to the decrease in consulting and travel expenses.
The Company may need an infusion of additional capital to fund anticipated operating costs over the next 12 months, however, management believes that the Company has adequate cash resources to fund operations. There can be no assurance that anticipated growth will occur, and that the Company will be successful in launching new products and services. If necessary, management will seek alternative sources of capital to support operations.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As a smaller reporting company, the Company is not required to provide the information for this Item 3.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer of the Company, as its principal financial officer has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer has concluded that, as of September 30, 2021, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, due to material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, for the purpose of ensuring that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its principal executive/financial officer as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The Company has identified numerous material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as described in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Company continues to evaluate the internal controls over financial reporting and is working toward implementation of corporate governance and operational process documentation.
In the normal course of business, the Company periodically becomes involved in litigation and disputes. During 2020, the Company was notified of a dispute related to its non-renewal of the employment agreement with Mr. Allan Pratt, the Company's former CEO, in which Mr. Pratt appears to be treating it as a termination which would trigger a two-year severance payment. By further action filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware on July 6, 2021, Mr. Pratt is seeking to be reinstated as a director by challenging the Board’s approval process in reducing the board size from five to three, which was effective as of the time in which Mr. Pratt’s and Mr. Austin Lewis’ terms expired in April 2020. As of September 30, 2021, in the opinion of management, the Company had no pending litigation and disputes that would have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) was first reported in Wuhan, China. Less than four months later, on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. The extent of COVID-19’s effect on the Company’s operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including the duration, spread and intensity of the pandemic, all of which are uncertain and difficult to predict considering the rapidly evolving landscape. The Company has reviewed the impact of COVID-19 during the last three months and has reported a positive effect on Company’s, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, and cash flows. At this time, it is not possible to determine the length of time the Company will benefit from the overall impact of COVID-19. However, it could have a material effect on the growth of the Company in the future. The Company continues to monitor the health and wellbeing of its employees across the US and Canada.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
On March 31, 2021, the Company issued 1,300,000 shares of common stock at $1.91 per share under the terms of an Employment Agreement. On June 10, 2021, the Company issued 18,099 shares of common stock at $2.21 per share for bonus compensation. The common stock was issued in reliance upon the exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
