General Presentation and Basis of Condensed 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, 2024 that was filed on April 15, 2025.
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 2025.
Liquidity and Management ’ s Plans
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has continued to incur losses, although it has taken significant steps to reduce them. At March 31, 2025, the Company reported cash and cash equivalents of $ 751,099 and working deficit of $ 761,825 and reported cash flows used from operations of $ 477,568 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The Company has reported a net loss of $ 148,773 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and has an accumulated deficit of $ 69,022,799 at March 31, 2025. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Management believes that the Company has adequate cash resources to fund operations during the next 12 months after the filing of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. The repayment of the Embolx note receivable will alleviate the concern however the repayment date is uncertain. Additionally, the costs of doing business can be significantly reduced in hopes of eliminating the net loss and providing positive cash flow from operations. Management continues to explore opportunities and has organized additional resources to grow the Paid platform. There can be no assurance that anticipated growth in new business will occur and that the Company will be successful in launching new products and services. Management may seek alternative sources of capital to support the growth of future operations.
Management feels that the repayments of the notes receivable will alleviate the concern however the repayment date is uncertain. Additionally, the cost of doing business can be significantly reduced in hopes of eliminating the net loss and providing positive cash flow from 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 May 2026 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 subsidiary ShipTime Canada, Inc. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
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 March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. 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 99 % of its revenues from Canada and 1 % from the U.S. during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
At March 31, 2025, the Company maintained 100 % of its property and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation, in Canada.
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 flow 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 months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. 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, merchant processing services and client services.
The Company recognizes revenue by taking into consideration the following five steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. Due to the nature of the Company’s service and product offerings and contracts associated with these, the Company’s deliverables do not fluctuate, and its revenue recognition is consistent. The Company evaluates whether amounts billed to customers should be reported as revenues on a gross or net basis. Generally, revenue is recorded on a gross basis when the Company is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the services, when it assumes the risk of loss, when it has discretion in setting the prices for the services to the customers, and when the Company has the ability to direct the use of the services provided by the third party. We generally are responsible for the fulfilment of a customer order despite the fact we do not directly provide the delivery services; we can redirect delivery to other shipping companies in our network. We control the price for which the customer pays, and generally collect the gross shipping fees and remit the contractual rate to this shipping company. Our risk of loss relates to credit-card chargebacks, certain self-insured shipping losses and other miscellaneous charges that we cannot pass through to the shipping company.
Nature of Goods and Services
For label generation service revenues, the Company recognizes revenue when a customer has successfully prepared a shipping label and their shipment is delivered. Customers with pickups and shipments in transit 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).
8
For brewery management software revenues, the Company recognizes subscription revenue on a monthly basis. 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 four reportable segments (see below).
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). The Company fulfills nearly all of its performance obligations within a one-to-two-week period and contracts with customers have an original expected duration of less than one month. The Company generally has an unconditional right to consideration when the services are initiated or soon thereafter. The amount due from the customer is either collected up front or recorded as accounts receivable. The amounts related to services that are not yet completed at the reporting date are presented as contract liabilities. The Company measures the performance of its obligations as services are completed over the life of a shipment, including services at origin, freight and destination. This method of measurement of progress depicts the pattern of the Company's actual performance under the contracts with the customer.
For arrangements under which the Company provides a subscription for brewery management software, the Company satisfies its performance obligations over the life of the subscription, typically twelve months or less.
Merchant processing customers receive a merchant identification number which allows them to process credit card transactions. Once the transaction is approved, the funds are distributed 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 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.
Measurement of Credit Losses
The Company has accounts receivable and note receivable and monitors the granting of credit and collecting debt on an ongoing basis. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical loss patterns, the number of days that billings are past due, and an evaluation of potential risk of loss associated with delinquent accounts. The Company has evaluated the accounts receivable for first quarter and recorded an allowance for credit losses of $ 22,286 . The Company has two notes receivable and is a senior secure lender with an absolute obligation for one of the notes. The primary note was evaluated for credit losses as of March 31, 2025 by considering the contractual obligation, the valuation of the assets and the senior position of the repayment.
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.
9
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 $ 287,036 and $ 193,852 as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Company has one customer that made up 10% of the accounts receivable balance at March 31, 2025 and one customer that made up 10% of the accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2024. Generally, the Company does not have material amounts of contract assets since revenue is recognized as control of goods is transferred or as services are performed. The Company has recorded a balance of $ 322,775 in contract assets as of March 31, 2025.
Contract Liabilities (Deferred Revenue)
Contract liabilities are recorded when cash payments are received in advance of the Company’s performance. Contract liabilities were $ 318,399 and $ 372,795 at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recognized revenues of $ 372,795 related to contract liabilities outstanding at the beginning of the period.
Income (Loss) Per Common Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share represent income (loss) divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income (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 have been excluded from the computation of diluted income (loss) per share if they would reduce the reported loss per share and therefore have an anti-dilutive effect.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, there were approximately 7,500 of potentially dilutive shares excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation, as their effect would be anti-dilutive.
The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted income (loss) per common share computations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

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.
Reclassification
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations. An adjustment has been made to the segment reporting for the period ended March 31, 2025, to consolidate revenue reporting for smaller segments of the Company.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which requires more detailed income tax disclosures. The guidance requires entities to disclose disaggregated information about their effective tax rate reconciliation as well as expanded information on income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The disclosure requirements will be applied on a prospective basis, with the option to apply them retrospectively. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2025, without material impact on the financial condition or results of operations.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures which provides guidance to improve the disclosures about a public entity’s reportable segments and address requests from investors for additional, more detailed information about reportable segment’s expenses. The new guidance must be adopted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted, and retrospective application is required for all periods presented. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Note 2. Notes Receivable
On October 13, 2022, the Company entered in a Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) with respect to a secured $ 1,875,000 convertible note (“Convertible Note”) made by Embolx, Inc. (“Noteholder”). The Convertible Note was purchased at a 20 % ($ 375,000 ) original issue discount and is subject to a 9 -month maturity, after which, if unpaid will then carry a 20 % interest rate. The Company recognized $ 270,833 in other income related to accretion of the discount on the Convertible Note for the year ended December 31, 2023 in addition to a $ 375,000 , 20 % non-payment penalty and interest due on the note of $ 203,425 . The Company has the option to convert the Convertible Note into shares of common stock of Embolx. The Convertible Note is secured by substantially all assets of the Noteholder. Under the SPA, the Company has a right to purchase additional notes and receive warrants on the same terms for a total potential investment amount of $ 2,000,000 with an additional over-allotment option of $ 500,000 as defined in the SPA. As additional consideration, the Company received a 5 -year warrant to purchase shares of common stock of Embolx. The shares are subject to certain piggyback registration rights under a Registration Rights Agreement. The warrant was offered at 50 % of the original principal amount and will be valued at the price per share of common stock paid in the first liquidity event following October 19, 2022. The warrants were to expire five years from the original issue date. As of July 19, 2023, the note was in default and carried an additional 20 % penalty and 20 % interest resulting in $ 578,425 of other income which was recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. In March 2024, the Company amended and replaced the note and terminated the warrants. The terms on the amended note receivable include an additional investment of $ 500,000 with a 25 % original issue discount and is due on June 19, 2024. The Company was granted a $ 50,000 increase to the debt owed by Embolx which was applied toward legal expenses incurred during the first quarter of 2024 relating to the preparation of the note documentation.
The note receivable was in default effective June 19, 2024, in the amount of $ 4,193,607 and the Company has elected to defer interest of $ 1,171,822 and default penalties of $ 838,721 . On July 29, 2024, the Board of Directors approved an extension with Embolx which was effective as of January 31, 2025. The Forbearance and Loan Modification Agreement with Embolx extends the note receivable of $ 5,967,100 until September 30, 2025 and carries a 25 % interest rate. Options to extend the note receivable may be considered as return on the note payable is favorable and Embolx may seek additional time to consummate a financial transaction. Although the note is considered a short-term note, the full amount of the note receivable is not expected to be collected by March 31, 2026, and thus has been reclassed as long-term. It is possible a payment will be received when the note comes due for the first time in September 2025, however, determining the approximate amount would be very difficult.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company has elected to defer $ 936,271 of additional income related to the interest earned on the Convertible Note compared to $ 141,780 in interest income and $ 201,209 of other income recorded as of March 31, 2024.
The Company does not believe there is any impairment to the note receivable due to its secured position on the assets of Embolx and its expectation that the amounts will be recoverable if and when Embolx consummates a financial or merger transaction which is expected to happen in 2025 or 2026.
The Company entered into a $ 50,000 short term note with 5String Solutions LLC on April 4, 2024. The terms on the note include a 12 % annual interest rate from the inception of the note which was due on May 15, 2024. The note has been amended as of July 3, 2024 and the initial investment shall be deducted from the future advance and the note shall be deemed paid in full. The new note includes an additional $ 198,500 investment carrying a 12 % interest rate. The short term note of $ 50,000 plus $ 1,500 interest calculated from April 4, 2024, to July 3, 2024, along with a $ 198,500 additional investment results in a $ 250,000 long term note due on or before April 30, 2027. On April 30, 2027 the Company has the option to convert the balance of the $ 400,000 note receivable into 55 % ownership of 5String Solutions. In the event that the Company elects to convert the noted they subsequently have the option to purchase the remaining 45 % ownership of 5String Solutions at a rate of 5-times EBITDA reported on December 31, 2026.
Interest of $ 7,315 has been recorded based on the outstanding balance of the $ 250,000 note for the three-month period ending March 31, 2025.

Note 5. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Matters
In the normal course of business, the Company periodically becomes involved in litigation and disputes. During 2021, the Company was notified of a dispute related to its non-renewal of the employment agreement with Mr. Allan Pratt, the Company’s former President, CEO and Chairman. On or around January 2020, the Company had allowed Mr. Pratt’s employment agreement to not renew, but Mr. Pratt alleges in a court in Canada that the Company terminated him and that the Company owes him a severance payment. Around the same time that Mr. Pratt’s employment term expired, the Company’s Board of Directors voted to reduce the size of the Board from five to three members, and Mr. Pratt and Mr. Austin Lewis, then CFO, automatically rolled off from the Board of Directors. More than a year later, in 2021, Mr. Pratt filed a claim in Delaware courts to contest that decision. In July 2022, Mr. Pratt amended the complaint to dispute the proper authorization of a stock bonus that was awarded to the Company’s CEO in March 2021. On November 9, 2023, the courts dismissed the claim contesting the reduction of the board size. The trial on the remaining claim was held before the Delaware court on December 5-6, 2024. Post-trial briefing in the Delaware action was completed on March 21, 2025, and the Delaware court is scheduled to hear post-trial arguments at a hearing on June 10, 2025. The Company has not recorded a reserve as the outcome of these matters cannot be determined.
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 lease, the Company has agreed to indemnify its lessor 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 agreement. 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. Shareholders ’ Equity
Preferred Stock
The Company’s amended Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 20,000,000 shares of blank-check preferred stock at $ 0.001 par value. The Board of Directors will be authorized to fix the designations, rights, preferences, powers and limitations of each series of the preferred stock.
The Company filed a Certificate of Designations effective on December 30, 2016, which sets aside 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock as Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock carries a coupon payment obligation of 1.5 % of the liquidation value per share ($ 3.03 ) per year in cash or additional Series A Preferred Stock, calculated by taking the 30-day average closing price for a share of common stock for the month immediately preceding the coupon payment date which is made annually. The Series A Preferred Stock has no voting or conversion rights. If purchased, redeemed, or otherwise acquired (other than conversion), the preferred stock may be reissued. As of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, there are no outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
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, 2024 that was filed on April 15, 2025.
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.

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, 2024 and 2023 included in our Form 10-K filed on April 15, 2025, 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.

Revenues increased 5% in the first quarter as a result of the shipping coordination and label generation segment of the business. Marketing efforts, pricing strategies and additional personnel have contributed to the shipping volume increase of 5% in 2025.
Client services revenues which include brewery management software and shipping calculator services decreased $5,226 or 72% to $2,034 in the first quarter of 2025 compared to $7,260 in 2024. The decrease in revenues is primarily due to the cancellation of several brewery management software clients and the limited marketing of this segment of the business.
Shipping coordination and label generation services revenues increased $206,294 or 5% to $4,346,139 in the first quarter of 2025 compared to $4,139,845 in 2024. The increase is attributable to annual carrier pricing increases and the additional marketing efforts in the first quarter of 2025.
