Material Weakness in Internal Controls
The company's disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting were deemed ineffective as of December 31, 2025, due to insufficient formal financial reporting policies and procedures, leading to material post-close adjustments.

Strong Revenue Growth Reported
Revenue increased by 405.4% to $1.395 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, primarily driven by the launch of a new lending vertical and the acquisition of Infinitus Pay, Inc.

Significant Dilution from Equity Issuances
Common shares outstanding increased by over 7 million to 40.49 million, and warrants outstanding increased by nearly 13 million to 28.78 million, largely due to the Infinitus Pay acquisition and AFIOS Partners investment. If all authorized shares were issued, dilution would be 159.9%.

AppTech Payments Corp.'s annual report highlights severe financial and operational risks, with both management and auditors expressing substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern. The disclosed material weakness in internal controls further undermines investor confidence in the company's financial reporting reliability. While the company achieved impressive revenue growth and made strategic acquisitions to reposition itself in the fintech sector, these positives are overshadowed by fundamental questions about its financial viability and control environment. Investors should be highly cautious, as the company faces significant challenges in securing additional funding and achieving sustained profitability to address its liquidity issues. The substantial past and future potential dilution from equity issuances also remains a concern.
