On
October 25, 2016,
we entered into an amendment to the PayOnline acquisition agreement with the sellers, in which we agreed to assume
$1,433,475
of certain refundable merchant deposit reserves, and accordingly, recorded the liability. The accrual for PayOnline at
December 31, 2018
consisted of an obligation of approximately
$1.1
million for refundable merchant reserves assumed pursuant to this amendment to the PayOnline acquisition agreement. Management determined that any potential future claims from these certain merchants for these reserves assumed with the amendment are remote, and as such, reversed the amounts which remained in accrued expenses and recognized other income of approximately
$1.1
million on the accompanying statement of operations during the year ended
December 31, 2019.
 
Included in accrued bonus are non-discretionary compensation due to our Chairman and CEO approximating
$979,000
and
$866,00
 at
December 31, 2019 
and
2018,
respectively, and approximately
$339,000
and
$291,000
 at
December 31, 2019 
and
2018
 for discretionary performance bonuses due to certain employees.
