NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


ORGANIZATION


GreenBox POS (“GreenBox” or the “Company”) was originally incorporated on April 10, 2007 under the laws of the State of Nevada as ASAP Expo, Inc. Prior to July 2011, the investment banking services division was the core business of ASAP Expo. ASAP Expo helped small and medium sized businesses raise funds and promote business through capital markets. In July 2011, ASAP Expo transitioned its core business to providing real estate advisory services from investment banking advisory services for Chinese companies and high net worth individuals.


On March 23, 2018, Frank Yuan, the controlling shareholder of ASAP Expo, Inc., entered into a stock purchase agreement whereby it sold 144,445,000 shares of ASAP Expo Inc.'s common stock to GreenBox POS LLC, representing 90% of ASAP Expo, Inc.'s issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Pursuant to this transaction, on April 12, 2018, ASAP Expo, Inc. entered into an asset purchase agreement whereby it assigned the entirety of its assets to ASAP Property Holdings, Inc. in consideration of assumption of the entirety of its liabilities.


The transaction contemplated in the March 23, 2018 stock purchase agreement was closed on May 3, 2018, and a change of control of ASAP Expo, Inc. was effected. Thereafter, the Company changed its name to “GreenBox POS LLC” and subsequently to “GreenBox POS.”


Since April 12, 2018, the Company’s operations have consisted of providing management and business development services.


BASIS OF PRESENTATION


The financial statements include the accounts of Greenbox POS, LLC, a Nevada Corporation. All amounts are presented in U.S. Dollars unless otherwise stated. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS


Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, cash on deposit with banks, and highly liquid debt investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. The Company has cash equivalents of $nil and $nil as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.


GOING CONCERN


As of December 31, 2018, the Company had cash of $nil, has incurred losses and has accumulated a significant deficit. During the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company has not yet generated any revenues, and has incurred a net loss from continuing operations of $53,298. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.


The Company intends to raise additional capital through private placements of debt and equity securities, but there can be no assurance that these funds will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or will be sufficient to enable the Company to fully complete its development activities or sustain operations. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional funds, it will have to develop and implement a plan to further extend payables, reduce overhead, or scale back its current business plan until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations. There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful.


Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.


FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS


The Company’s financial instruments consist of a note receivable from related party and interest receivables from related party, convertible notes payable and accrued liabilities. The fair value of these financial instruments approximate their carrying amounts reported in the  balance sheets due to the short term maturity of these instruments.


Fair Value Measurements


ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:


Level 1 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.


Level 2 - Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.


Level 3 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.


CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE


The Company accounts for convertible promissory notes in accordance with ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options. The Company evaluates embedded conversion features within convertible debt to determine whether the embedded conversion feature should be bifurcated from the host instrument and accounted for as a derivative at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in the Income Statement. If the conversion feature does not require recognition of a bifurcated derivative, the convertible debt instrument is evaluated for consideration of any beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) requiring separate recognition. When the Company records a BCF, the intrinsic value of the BCF is recorded as a debt discount against the face amount of the respective debt instrument with an offset to additional paid-in capital and amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.


USE OF ESTIMATES


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 date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of  expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


LEASES


Lease for office space at our corporate headquarters is classified as an operating lease in accordance with ASC 840, Leases. Rent expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases and, accordingly, we record the cumulative difference between cash rent payments and the recognition of rent expense as a deferred rent liability. When an operating lease includes lease incentives, such as a rent abatements or leasehold improvement allowances, or requires fixed escalations of the minimum lease payments, the aggregate rental expense, including such incentives or increases, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.


Aggregate future minimum annual payments under aforementioned leases at December 31, 2018, are as follows:

REVENUE RECOGNITION


Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provide guidance for presentation of revenue and for disclosure related to revenue recognition policies in financial statements filed with Securities and Exchange Commission. Management believes the Company’s revenue recognition policies conform to ASC 606.


As of December 31, 2018, the Company has not generated any revenues from operations.


INCOME TAXES


Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements, net of operating loss carry forwards and credits, by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is not more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities.


EARNINGS PER SHARE


A basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the year.


RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS


In July 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) (“ASU 2017-11”). ASU 2017-11 changes the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down-round features. The amendments require entities that present earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with Topic 260 to recognize the effect of the down round feature when triggered with the effect treated as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common shareholders in basic EPS. The new standard is effective for nonpublic business entities fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted for all entities, including adoption in an interim period. The new standard is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this accounting standard update.


In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize “right of use” assets and liabilities for all leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. The ASU requires additional quantitative and qualitative financial statement footnote disclosures about the leases, significant judgments made in accounting for those leases and amounts recognized in the financial statements about those leases. The effective date will be fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this accounting standard update on its financial statements.


The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
