Fiscal Year 2023 Financial Highlight 

• Revenue was approximately $504 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to $450 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2022, representing an increase of 12%. The increase was principally driven by the new licensing revenue and offset by lower merchant processing revenue.

Recent Business Highlights 

• Entered a strategic partnership to build, develop, launch, and manage InstaCash, Inc.’s mobile-to-mobile payment system, and subsequently extended the license to Brazil and Mexico. AppTech will develop mobile and web-based applications for the contactless payment system, which will feature digital banking services and Visa/MasterCard sponsorship and provide user support services. As part of the partnership, AppTech will receive an equity stake in InstaCash
• Executed a strategic acquisition of FinZeo, a global software development company centered around the movement of money. FinZeo’s API enables AppTech to efficiently integrate with software providers and Independent Software Vendors (ISVs), facilitating rapid technology implementation. The onboarding process for ISVs will be streamlined with the support of video tutorials, a dedicated customer center, and a sandbox API environment. With the assimilation of FinZeo, AppTech evolves into a Payment Facilitator (PayFac), propelling the company’s aggregation model 
• Announced Reno-Tahoe International Airport as the first international airport to adopt its newly-acquired FinZeo platform
• Announced it has signed an agreement to provide its FinZeo™ platform services to a credit union network with over 2,000 locations. Platform integration is expected to begin in March with completion anticipated in Q2 2024.
