Business Opportunity

Business Opportunity

Disparate Industries, with Varied Payment Processing Methods

  • Highly regulated industries (Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms etc.) often use third-party accounting services alongside payment processing software to conduct and record their transactions internally
  • The non-customizable and static nature of these services can cause difficulty meeting reporting requirements and are operationally burdensome.
  • Many small retailers cannot afford to customize their payment processing systems to the needs of their governing regulatory agency.
  • Furthermore, major systems are sunsetting their cloud-based systems, causing retailers to seek new payment processors.

  • Refinance existing indebtedness
  • Fund the Note’s Interest Reserve

  • Attrition in InfoTouch’s merchants – Competition among POS providers may result in a reduction in the number of merchants using InfoTouch.

  • Migration to the Woodforest payment processing system – Though merchants are financial incented to migrate, some may refuse to migrate

  • Variable Monthly Cash Flows - Residual Revenue is based on customer transactions and is not a fixed or guaranteed income stream.

  • Merchant Industry Decline or Contraction - Residual Revenues may decrease if an industry with many merchant clients using InfoTouch software experiences a sharp decline in demand.

Investment Considerations

30+ Year History & Mature Software Platform

  • An early pioneer in the payment processing space, InfoTouch has mature software and long-standing books of business from which it earns Residual Revenues.
  • InfoTouch’s software is highly customizable and includes inventory management, components crucial to its merchant base.

Embedded Software & Resilient Industry Focus

  • InfoTouch software requires merchant investment in its workflow and data management – a large natural deterrent to switching payment processors.
  • More than 80% of merchants using InfoTouch software are in the alcohol, tobacco, firearms, fuel, and thrift industry verticals – business lines that are resilient under current market conditions.
  • No single industry vertical represents more than 15% of annual Residual Revenue opportunity.

Note Secured by Consistent Cash Flow Stream

  • The Note is secured by a first lien on Residual Revenues – a revenue stream with a historical average of $1.25MM/year from 2016-2023.
  • The Residual Revenues are earned from books of business including over 900 merchants, with an average relationship of 5+ years.

Lien & Corporate Guarantee

  • The Note is secured by a second lien on all assets of the Issuer, including the Residual Revenues and a corporate guarantee from InfoTouch. The first position on such assets will be held by the SBA in relation to a $500,000 EIDL loan debt service commenced in 2024 and the loan is current. The EIDL loan has a 30-year maturity, a 3.75% interest rate, and payments of ~$2,500, a de minimis amount.
  • Principal and interest payments are made directly from a segregated bank account receiving the Residual Revenues, in which the Administrative Agent is a signatory.

The Company was purchased by its current CEO, Harry Nass, as well as John Welch, in 2006. InfoTouch has focused on developing comprehensive point-of-sale technology for specialty retailers, and service industry businesses.

The Company’s entirely configurable point-of-sale platform provides end-to-end integration, enabling small and medium-sized businesses access to seamless back office and inventory management.

Its RetailOS software runs thousands of stores, combining sophisticated POS, ERP, CRM, SCM from a platform that is entirely configurable to the merchant's needs.

InfoTouch is the author of Point-of-Sale software, which licenses to 3rd party merchants to account for their retail business transactions utilizing a computer running the InfoTouch software system.

The system allows for ‘integrated payment processing’ which routes the request for charge authorization to the merchant’s payment processor while, crucially, also allowing for an internal accounting for the merchant of amount due for deposit, general ledger entries, etc.

Woodforest Acceptance Solutions Direct Payment Processing System

Woodforest Acceptance Solutions and Verifone

  • Woodforest National Bank, through its subsidiary, Woodforest Acceptance Solutions, and InfoTouch have been developing a direct payment processing system since 2022.
  • Woodforest Bank has a presence in Wal-Mart nationwide and is expanding into HEB Grocery Chain, a chain that has 330 stores in Texas.
  • VeriFone Systems terminals and technology will be used at the merchant’s point of sale.

A new, more direct system for moving payments to merchants

  • Uniquely, Woodforest has licensed processing software through a subsidiary, enabling settlements outside of Interchange (the system for moving funds to merchants and credit and debit card issuers) and offering overnight float loans.
  • An alternative settlement for payment processing directly with major card brands (MasterCard, VISA, American Express and the customer’s credit providers).
  • Merchants will use embedded payment processing software in the InfoTouch POS system for card payments.

Lower cost to InfoTouch and its merchants

  • Transitioning to the new system is expected to more than double margins, from 0.45% to 0.95%, on average.
  • The direct model substantially reduces overhead and costs compared to the traditional Interchange system.
  • Lower total impact of processing costs for merchants.

Implementation Plan

  • Periodic POS upgrades are normal for merchants.
  • InfoTouch will migrate merchants over the next twelve to eighteen months.
  • InfoTouch’s entire $330 million annual processing volume is expected to migrate to the Woodforest direct payment processing system.

Increased InfoTouch revenues

  • When fully implemented, InfoTouch margins will more than double, from 0.45% to 0.95%
  • The existing level of merchant relationships should be maintained.
  • Revenues with the new system are expected to begin increasing January 2025, with full conversion to the WAS-Verifone direct payment system by early 2026.
  • Minimal additional costs incurred during the migration to Woodforest.

Revenues (Current)

Residual Revenues

InfoTouch earns Residual Revenues when a customer presents a credit payment to a merchant using InfoTouch software. InfoTouch functions as either an Independent Sales Organization (ISO), or a Direct Agent for the merchant and earns residual revenues (a percentage of the transaction between customer and merchant) accordingly.

InfoTouch maintains a portfolio of merchants comprising more than 900 individual retailers with an average relationship ranging between 4 to 5 years. These retailers are largely in the alcohol, firearms and tobacco industries and include meat markets and gardening centers, limiting volatility in volume and amount of customer transactions.

Current Payment Processing Partners

InfoTouch holds contracts with two large payment processors, FiServ and WorldPay which direct the flow of merchant fees from customer transactions at brick-and-mortar retailers to InfoTouch and other service providers.

Processing Partners

Payment Amount by Processor Type

InfoTouch Corporation receives an agreed upon percentage of residual payments through existing contracts based on service type. Residual income is linearly dependent on customer transactions.

Merchant Overview

Residual Revenue Historical Trends

At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic and through YE 2020, Infotouch saw an increase in monthly residual income, primarily due to the nature and types of merchants responsible for generating the cash flows – namely the alcohol, tobacco and firearm industries, recession-proof verticals.

In addition to the stable product mix of the underlying merchant base, there are over 900 merchants using InfoTouch products, diversifying the risk to InfoTouch of any single merchant not performing.

Software Developers

About the Point-of-Sale Software Industry

This industry develops point-of-sale software which tracks, organizes, and facilitates sales at physical locations (brick & mortar retailers) where goods are sold. Software services allow increased ease of access in managing sales, tracking, and organizing within retail, e-commerce, and wholesale trade industries.

Major Players

The largest player within the point-of-sale software industry is NCR Corporation. There is a common comparison drawn between players in the industry and hardware firms like Square and VeriFone, but these companies are much more significant in the POS payment processing hardware industry, not the POS software industry.

Primary Activities, Products, and Services

Within this industry, the main activities are the development of POS software for retail, hospitality, food service, healthcare, and educational uses. The major product in the industry is developed software, which is sold to retail, e-commerce, and the wholesale trade spaces.

Supply Chain

The supply chain for POS software begins with the creation of the software itself. It is then licensed by end-users and implemented via existing (or new) hardware within the retail, e-commerce, and wholesale trade spaces.

Model Assumptions:

  • Transfer of existing client base from existing processing to new system at a rate of 10% of the processing base per month for 10+ months.
  • The direct processing revenue cost model (contract with WAS) is substantially lower cost to InfoTouch and its merchant clients generating the differential margin in the assumptions.
  • Some of our merchant accounts will double in margin (based upon current costs) and some will triple (merchants in the older, lower margin profile that will move as well.
  • Moving to Verifone terminal platform lowers InfoTouch costs further through the Verifone cloud management system and the lower total cost of using.
  • Transfers will be smooth due to back-end software integration with WAS and Verifone (similar to the existing gateway integration to Fiserv and WorldPay). Associated Risks:

Associated Risks:

  • InfoTouch is unable to convert marketing plan expenditures into new clients.
  • External supply shocks such as legislation in the firearms market or a prolonged recession will affect customer spending habits, a large component of InfoTouch’s revenue.

Refinancing Description

Part of the proceeds raised from this Note (referred to in this Section as the “New Note”) will be utilized to make a payment to certain holders of a secured promissory note previously issued to investors sourced by Carofin and CFS on May 28th, 2021 (the “Current Note”, with holders thereof referred to herein as the “Current Noteholders”) in the original principal amount of $2,500,000, with $1,917,138.97 remaining outstanding.

Before the First Closing, Current Noteholders shall exchange their Current Note for either (i) the New Note, or (ii) the “Exit Note”, which will carry no interest but include payments of principal equal to (i) 50% of the Exit Note principal on or within 1 business day of the First closing (the “Principal Reduction Payment”), (ii) 25% of the Exit Note principal on the first anniversary of the First Closing, and (iii) 25% of the Exit Note principal on the second anniversary of the First Closing (the “Exit Note Maturity”).

The New Note and Exit Note will share their collateral and payment rights, with standard payments of interest and principal allowed to be made on either the New Note or the Exit Note for so long as no Event of Default is outstanding under either note.

Given the exchange of Current Note principal, the “Minimum Offering Amount” of $1,925,000 is likely to be comprised of a combination of (i) new subscriptions for the New Notes (the “New Cash”), and (ii) credits towards the Minimum Offering Amount from exchanges of Current Note principal into the New Note.

Use of Proceeds - First Closing

first

  • The amount needed for the “Exit Note Refinancing” is a legal fiction equal to 50% of the Current Note principal, as that would be the amount of New Cash needed to make the Principal Reduction Payment if 100% of the Current Note principal converted into the Exit Note. This amount will be met through a combination of (i) cash from new subscriptions for the New Note, and (ii) credits towards the Minimum Offering Amount equal to 50% of any Current Note principal that is exchanged for the New Note. Please see “Escrow Amount Illustration” later in this Offering Summary for an illustration.

** The Placement Fee may also be comprised of cash due to the Placement Agent at the first closing and certain credits that function as a legal fiction resulting from the establishment of a Minimum Subscription amount. Please see “Escrow Amount Illustration” later in this Offering Summary for an illustration.

Use of Proceeds - Mulitple Closings

Following the First closing, any funds committed to the New Note by way of subscription agreements will be forwarded directly to the Borrower through one or more closings (the “Multiple Closings”) and used as follows:

mult

The “Placement Fee” will be adjusted down proportionately if less than $825,000 is raised through the Multiple Closings, and always equal 6% of the New Cash raised during the Multiple Closings.

Company Disclosures

On April 27, 2018, InfoTouch Corporation was named as a defendant in a complaint filed by Chetu, Inc., in the Florida Circuit Court in and for Broward County, alleging that InfoTouch entered into a written contract with Chetu for computer software development services and failed to pay Chetu $50,487.66 for services rendered. This matter was settled in arbitration but on May 23rd, 2024, Chetu filed another civil compliant against InfoTouch alleging that a balance of at least $33,333.33 remains unpaid from the settlement.

Default Charges:

If the Investor does not receive any payment by the end of the date on which it is due or an Event of Default is outstanding, the Company will pay the Investor a “Default Charge” calculated as if it were additional interest on the outstanding principal balance at the rate of 6% per annum until such payment is received by the Investor or an Event of Default no longer exists.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the written consent of Investors holding a Super Majority (i.e., 66.67%) of the then outstanding principal is required to (i) change the Maturity Date, change the Interest Rate, Default Charge, or any other fees payable, (ii) release or subordinate any Collateral, or (iii) waive or release in writing any claim against or obligation of the Company.

No modifications to the New Note or the Exit Note may be made without the consent of a majority of such note if such modification could reasonably be determined to be detrimental to the holders of the other note without the consent of a Majority of such note being affected in a detrimental manner.

Other Terms

Administrative Agent:

CFG Financial Services, LLC (“CFG FS”), an affiliate of CFS and Carofin, shall be appointed as Administrative Agent by the Company and the Investors regarding the New Notes purchased by Investors.

Fees & Expenses:

Carolina Financial Securities, LLC ("CFS") shall receive a cash placement fee equal to 6% of the gross proceeds received by the Company in this Offering, including the conversion of Current Note principal into the New Note, with such fee being payable by the Company simultaneously with the closing of any investment. Up to 50% of such placement fee may be shared with Carofin, LLC, an affiliated Broker-Dealer, for its assistance in the placement of the Offering. Please see the “Escrow Illustration” section of this Offering Summary for more details.

In addition to the cash compensation described above, CFS and Carofin will also receive, at the First closing, a warrant to purchase common stock representing 8% of the Company’s fully diluted, as-converted capitalization.

Internal Rate of Return:

Internal Rate of Return”, or “IRR” will be utilized solely as a calculation to determine the Maturity Fee due to each Investor. Each Investor’s IRR immediately prior to such distribution will be calculated as follows: ~irr

The IRR figure described herein is used solely as a formula for the calculation of the Maturity Fee and shall not be implied to represent a promised or expected rate of return for any Investor in the Offering.

Conflicts of Interest:

Given the relationships between certain parties, certain conflicts of interest may be inherent to the offering of the Notes:

Proprietary Products: CFS and Carofin will often present investments that are only available through them, which may result in a higher placement fee. CFS and Carofin will receive these fees regardless of your investment performing as expected.

Administrative Agent: CFG Financial Services, LLC (“CFG FS”), an affiliate of CFS and Carofin will serve as administrative agent for the New Notes and Exit Note, enforcing certain rights of the Investors against the Company. Given that CFS and Carofin often have a desire to conduct repeat business with its issuers, it may have a conflict of interest in enforcing Investors’ rights against the Company. Such conflict is often addressed by having employees that receive no direct compensation from CFS and/or Carofin’s investment banking business perform duties on behalf of CFG FS.

Furthermore, the Administrative Agent may often be conflicted in its role representing both the New Note and the Exit Note, as the interest of one note may be adverse to the interests of the other note. Once again, this conflict is often addressed by assigning different employees of the Administrative agent represent the interest of each note when such conflicts are presented.

Escrow Proceeds: Investments in the New Notes with bona fide investment intent from parties affiliated with the Company, CFS, or Carofin, and that therefore may have a financial interest in this transaction, will be counted towards the Minimum Offering Amount. Investors should rely on their own judgment of the merits of this investment and not rely on the Minimum Offering Amount being met as an indication that enough persons without any financial interest in the transaction see an investment in the New Notes as worthwhile.

Offering-Specific Questions

Who is heading up the conversion process to Verifone and Woodford Acceptance Corp?

Harry Nass is directly responsible for management of the process both on the development side (implementation of InfoTouch systems) and merchant side. He will work through the Company’s business manager Jeff Ballard, who has 20+ years of experience with the InfoTouch product.

The client contacts will be managed by Caren in the ISO division of the company along with Tracey who operates today in a client liaison position. InfoTouch anticipates hiring 2 and if needed a total of 3 additional human resources to accelerate the conversions once the Company have a number of merchants moved and fully understand the details of the new system’s requirements to bring them to full operation.

How does InfoTouch plan to mitigate/eliminate possible attrition from customers who do not want to migrate to the new model?

The significant motivator to move will be the lower cost to the merchant. Where needed, InfoTouch can apply pressure within the system (e.g. “new version requirements, new security requirements leading to new PIN pad hardware requirements and thereby the “new system”).

Many InfoTouch merchants have migrated from DOS based models, through Windows and now into hardware that supports Windows 10 and of course, moving into Windows 11. This is an extension of an ongoing process one must face in the Windows/Intel model of computer hardware/software evolution.

What is the expected timeframe for conversion?

There is a provision for a four-month ramping time in the financial plan as InfoTouch needs to get the new PIN pad integration with the Verifone cloud embedded in their software.

The Company will then start to move the WorldPay clients- the clients who’s current margins are the lowest (27BPS).

After integrating WorldPay clients, InfoTouch will move ISO apex clients (larger clients, higher volume and margins with fewer touches); then, the Company will start moving at approximately 10 per month the balance of the merchant book . The last six months of the conversion timeline will likely be shortened from estimates as InfoTouch completes the migration process.

Can InfoTouch provide a detailed outline of the steps involved towards executing the conversion?

When switching to this new system, completion of an electronic form is required which can be prepopulated using pertinent data from InfoTouch’s ERP. The Company will provide a current and then post conversion cost model to them and likely will get buy-in early on.

The new PIN pad hardware will be discussed after the current merchant context is determined (e.g. is their site in need of an update / upgrade in the normal course, etc.).

The Verifone program provides for an outright purchase (of which InfoTouch is offered favorable pricing) and they offer a “rental” option so for those not wanting to face any capital outlay (InfoTouch is in the range of $450/unit which is consistent with InfoTouch’s current costs for inferior PIN pads), they may elect the rental option which includes a perpetual replacement commitment (from Verifone) as is their responsibility.

InfoTouch will remotely review the on-site network and any requirements for additional Ethernet switch ports will be identified along with the Company’s recommended switching solutions if needed. Following confirmation that the network is in place, the support team will position the equipment on site and update the software to switch over the merchant from current processing to new processing.

This is a routine process save for the needed review of network ports on their LAN to support the new devices. InfoTouch is opting out of the USB based devices due to security issues anyway (next 24-36 months) and moving to the permeant Ethernet / cloud connections used at places like Walgreens and CVS.

Escrow Illustration

In addition to facilitating the migration of the Company’s merchant-customers from the current FiServ system to WAS processing, the New Notes also refinance the Current Note. Given that investors holding the Current Note have an option to exchange their current principal into either (i) the New Note, or (ii) the Exit Note, which requires a repayment of certain principal upon the First Closing, the Minimum Offering Amount will be reached through a combination of cash from new subscriptions for the New Note and credits towards the Minimum Offering Amount from holders of the Current Note exchanging the principal of their Current Note for the New Note.

In addition to the credits from exchanges of Current Note principal for the New Note, the Minimum Offering Amount will also be comprised of credit towards the Placement Fee payable to the Placement Agent.

Scenarios A and B Below demonstrate how the Minimum Offering Amount is met through a combination of cash and credits depending on the amount of Current Note principal that is exchanged for the New Note compared to the Exit Note.

Scenario A: 75% of the Current Note principal is exchanged into the New Note

Scenario B: 75% of the Current Note principal is exchanged into the Exit Note.

scen 1

As a result of these conversions and an immediate reduction of principal on the Exit Note, Investors should understand that the actual principal balance of the New Note will be is likely to be higher than the Minimum Offering amount, as the entirety of principal converted from the Current Note into the New Note is carried over as principal to the New Note, but only 50% of such amount is credited towards the Minimum Offering Note.

The table below illustrates what the principal amount of the New Note (and as a result, the Exit Note) will be following the same Scenarios A and B:

2

Finally, the Placement Fee due to the Placement Agent is also variable based on the actual conversion of Current Note principal, since no amount is due on the Current Note principal converted into the Exit Note.

The table below illustrates how the Placement Fee due to the Placement Agent is affected by the same conversion Scenarios A and B:

Risk Factors

THE INVESTMENT IN THE SECURITIES OFFERED HEREBY IS HIGHLY SPECULATIVE, INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK, AND SHOULD NOT BE MADE BY PERSONS WHO CANNOT AFFORD TO LOSE THEIR ENTIRE INVESTMENT. EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR IS URGED TO CONSIDER CAREFULLY THE BUSINESS, LEGAL, TAX, AND OTHER RISKS SUMMARIZED BELOW, AND EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR MUST CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN LEGAL, TAX, AND FINANCIAL ADVISORS WITH RESPECT THERETO. PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS SHOULD BE AWARE OF THE RISK FACTOES DISCUSHSED BELOW AND ARE URGED TO CAREFULLY REVIEW THE INFORMATION CONTAINED ELSEWHERE IN THIS OFFERING PACKAGE.

Risks Related to the Company’s Business

The Company may not be able to successfully implement its direct payment business model.

The Company is in the process of implementing its direct payment business model. It is still in the early stages of developing its business strategy, sales and implementation practices, technological capabilities, customer relationships and marketing focus. The Company faces a number of challenges, including a lack of meaningful historical financial data following the business model transition upon which to plan future budgets, competition from a wide range of sources, the need to develop customer relationships and other risks. The Company may not be able to successfully implement its business model.

The Company has generated limited revenues, has incurred mostly losses and may not become profitable in the future.

Since their inception, the Company have generated limited operational revenues and has incurred mostly losses, principally from costs relating to research and development, legal expenses, and salaries and consulting fees. Its business model and strategies may not be successful and there is no assurance that the Company will ever become profitable in any future period.

Global and regional economic conditions could harm the Company’s business.

Adverse global and regional economic conditions such as turmoil affecting the banking system and financial markets, including, but not limited to, tightening in the credit markets, extreme volatility or distress in the financial markets, higher unemployment, higher consumer debt levels, recessionary or inflationary pressures, supply chain issues, reduced consumer confidence or economic activity, and other negative financial news or macroeconomic developments could have a material adverse impact on the demand for the Company’s products or services, including a reduction in the volume and size of transactions on the Company’s platform.

Changes in the laws, regulations, credit card associations or other industry standards affecting the Company’s business may impose costly compliance burdens and negatively impact its business.

There may be changes in the laws, regulations, card association rules or other industry standards that affect the Company’s operating environment in substantial and unpredictable ways. Changes to statutes, regulations, or industry standards, including interpretation and implementation of statutes, regulations or standards, could increase the cost of doing business or affect the competitive balance. Regulation of the payments industry has increased significantly in recent years. Additional regulatory changes may require Infotouch to incur significant expenses to redevelop its products. Also, failure to comply with laws, rules and regulations or standards to which the Company is subject, including with respect to privacy and data use and security, could result in fines, sanctions or other penalties, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations, as well as damage its reputation.

Furthermore, given the Company’s merchant-customer concentration in highly regulated industries such as firearms, alcohol, and tobacco, changes in regulations affecting such merchant-customers or changes in retail customer sentiment and spending habits towards such industries is also likely to have a material adverse effect on the result of the Company’s operations.

The Company may require additional funding, which may not be available on favorable terms, or at all.

The Company plans to continue to expend substantial capital in connection with the development of its products or sales process. If it fails to obtain the funding necessary to fund such development and to satisfy its working capital needs, the Company may have to delay its plans and miss its market opportunities. The Company’s current operating plan could change as a result of many known and unknown factors and may require additional funding. In addition, the Company may choose to raise additional capital due to favorable market conditions or strategic considerations even if it has sufficient funds for their current operating plan. To the extent available capital resources are insufficient to meet future capital requirements, the Company will have to seek additional funds to continue with its transition plan. There can be no assurance that such funds will be available on favorable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available, the Company may be required to curtail operations significantly or even altogether. The Company’s inability to raise capital on favorable terms could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Company may be held liable for the actions and errors of its management.

Under most conditions, the Company’s officers, directors, and managers may not be held liable for errors in judgment or other acts or omissions made by them as representatives of the Company because of provisions in its operating agreement holding them harmless and providing them with indemnification against liabilities or losses that arise from such acts or omissions. To the extent that such indemnification provisions are invoked, then Company’s assets could be reduced and their business could be impaired.

The Company’ failure to expand its management systems and controls to support anticipated growth and to hire qualified personnel could seriously harm its business.

The Company’s inability to manage its growth effectively could affect its ability to pursue business opportunities and expand its business. As the Company increases the adoption of its direct payment system and its operations grow, they may need to hire a significant number of additional employees. This growth may place strain on their management and operations. The Company’s ability to manage growth will depend on the ability of their officers and key employees to implement and improve the Company’s operational, management information, sales and marketing and financial control systems and to expand, train and manage its work force. The Company believes that competition for qualified technical, sales, marketing and managerial personnel will be intense. The Company’s ability to implement their business plan could be adversely affected if they are unable to hire and retain qualified personnel as needed.

Infotouch is highly dependent on management and other key employees.

Infotouch is highly dependent on the efforts and abilities of its CEO, Harry Nass. The loss of its CEO or any of its other officers or key employees could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, existing business, or anticipated growth.

The Company relies significantly on the use of information technology. Any technology failures causing a material disruption to operational technology or cyber-attacks on their systems affecting their ability to protect the integrity and security of customer and employee information could harm their reputation and/or could disrupt their operations and negatively impact the Company’s business.

The Company increasingly relies on information technology systems to process, transmit and store electronic information. The future success and growth of their business depends on streamlined processes made available through information systems, global communications, internet activity and other network processes.

The Company’s information technology systems, and those of its third-party service providers, may be vulnerable to information security breaches, acts of vandalism, computer viruses and interruption or loss of valuable business data. Stored data might be improperly accessed due to a variety of events beyond the Company’s control, including, but not limited to, natural disasters, terrorist attacks, telecommunications failures, computer viruses, hackers and other security issues. The Company’s have technology security initiatives and disaster recovery plans in place to mitigate their risks to these vulnerabilities, but these measures may not be adequate or implemented properly to ensure that their operations are not disrupted or that data security breaches do not occur.

Hackers and data thieves are increasingly sophisticated and operate large-scale and complex automated attacks. Any breach of the Company’s network may result in damage to their reputation, the loss of valuable business data, misappropriation of their consumers' or employees' personal information, product fulfillment delays, key personnel being unable to perform duties or communicate throughout the organization, loss of sales, significant costs for data restoration and other adverse impacts on their business. Despite the Company’s existing security procedures and controls, if their networks were compromised, it could give rise to unwanted media attention, materially damage their customer relationships, harm their business, reputation, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition, result in fines or lawsuits, and may increase the costs they incur to protect against such information security breaches, such as increased investment in technology, the costs of compliance with consumer protection laws and costs resulting from consumer fraud.

Risks Related to Infotouch’s Products

Infotouch may be unable to scale its sales processes with increased adoption of its product offerings.

Infotouch’s ability to increase its revenue and grow its business is partially dependent on the widespread acceptance of their direct payment products and solutions by small businesses and other commercial organizations. Infotouch may need to spend significant time and resources to better educate and familiarize these potential customers with the value proposition of its products and solutions. The length of Infotouch’s sales cycle for these customers from initial evaluation to payment for Infotouch’s offerings will vary substantially from customer to customer and from offering to offering. Customers will often require considerable time to evaluate, test, and qualify Infotouch’s offerings prior to adopting its offerings. The timing of Infotouch’s sales with its enterprise customers and related revenue recognition will be difficult to predict because of the length and unpredictability of the sales cycle for these customers. During the sales cycle, Infotouch will expend significant time and money on sales and marketing and contract negotiation activities, which may not result in a sale. Additional factors that may influence the length and variability of the Company’s sales cycle include: the effectiveness of its sale force; the obstacles placed by customers’ procurement process; economic conditions and other factors impacting customer budgets; the customer’s integration complexity; the customer’s familiarity with the proposed direct payment system, and evolving customer demands.

Risks Related to the Company’s Industry

Infotouch’s products will compete for customers against other providers in the market. If Infotouch cannot attract customers to adopt its direct payment system its business would suffer and you could lose your investment.

Infotouch will have to compete on the basis of price and performance with product offerings from other providers in the marketplace. The domestic market for Infotouch’s products is intensely competitive and is also characterized by frequent introductions of new or enhanced products, price competition, continued emergence of new industry standards and regulatory developments. Some of Infotouch’s potential competitors have longer operating histories, substantially greater financial, technical, sales, marketing and other resources, established name recognition and a larger existing customer base.

Risks Related to this Offering

This Offering has not been reviewed by any federal, state, or other regulatory authority.

The Securities offered through this Offering will not be registered or qualified under federal and state securities laws or the securities laws of any foreign jurisdiction. The Company anticipates that no regulatory authority or other disinterested entity will review or pass upon the fairness of the disclosure of risks and tax consequences inherent in the investment in the Securities or the other terms of this Offering. Prospective investors should be aware that they do not have all of the protection afforded by applicable federal and state securities laws to investors in registered or qualified offerings. Accordingly, all investors must evaluate for themselves, or with the assistance of their advisors, attorneys, and accountants, the adequacy of the disclosures and the fairness of the other terms of this Offering without the benefit of prior review by any regulatory authority or other disinterested entity.

The Minimum Offering Amount may be met through purchases by affiliates of the Company or other parties with a financial interest in the Offering.

Notes may be purchased by the affiliates of the Company, or by other persons who will receive fees or other compensation or gain dependent upon the success of the Offering. Such purchases may be made at any time and will be counted in determining whether the required minimum level of purchases has been met for the closing of the Offering. Therefore, Investors should not expect that the sale of sufficient Notes to reach the specified minimum, or in excess of that minimum, indicates that such sales have been made to investors who have no financial or other interest in the Offering, or who otherwise are exercising independent investment discretion.

The sale of the specified minimum, while necessary to the business operations of the Company, is not designed as a protection to investors, or to indicate that their investment decision is shared by other unaffiliated investors. Because there may be substantial purchases by affiliates of the Company, or other persons who will receive fees or other compensation or gain dependent upon the success of the Offering, no individual investor should place any reliance on the sale of the specified minimum as an indication of the merits of the Offering. Each investor must make his own investment decision as to the merits of this Offering.

The disposition of the Collateral may be difficult, expensive, and insufficient to repay the Notes.

With a majority of the collateral consisting of payment intangibles, the disposition of such collateral may be difficult given, among other factors, the intangible nature and third-party credit risk related to such payment intangibles. Such difficulties mya result in increased expenses associated with the disposition of such collateral, and in turn, a lower return to the Investors, which may prove insufficient to repay the Notes.

A sale of the Collateral is likely to be accompanied by another promissory note.

As a result of the Company’s previous default under the Current Note, the Administrative Agent and the Company pursued a sale of substantially all assets of the Company, with the structure for such sale often accompanied by a promissory note from the purchaser, with little or no interest over a two year term. As such, Investors will likely have to rely on another party’s credit risk if a sale of the Collateral is pursued.

Management will control the way in which the proceeds of this offering will be expended.

After the First Closing, management will have broad discretion to spend or invest the proceeds from this offering in ways with which new investors may not agree. Securities Laws will restrict the investors’ ability to transfer the

Securities or liquidate their investment.

An investment in the Notes is a long-term, speculative commitment. No public market for the Securities exists and no assurance can be made that any such public market will develop in the future. Consequently, investors may not be able to resell any of the Securities sold in this offering. Each purchaser of the Securities will be required to represent that it is an accredited investor and that it is purchasing the Securities for its own account for investment purposes and not with a view to resale or distribution. The Securities have not been nor will be registered under the Securities Act or under any state securities laws, and the Borrower is under no obligation to register any of the Securities. No transfer of the Securities may be made unless an exemption to such registration applies to any such transfer. See "Transfer Restrictions" under "Security Terms" for more information. Accordingly, investors must be ready to hold the Securities for an indefinite period of time and must be able to bear a risk of total loss of their entire investment.

The Loan Documents may be amended without the consent of every single investor.

The Loan Documents may be amended by a majority of the outstanding principal and without the affirmative consent of all Investors, but may include affiliates and employees of Infotouch or CFS as well as other parties with conflict of interest. As such, purchasers of the Securities shall carefully weigh how such governance mechanics may adversely affect them as it pertains to their willingness to purchase the Notes.

Any single aspect of the Company’s business or the Security’s structure is subject to change.

Potential investors should not rely exclusively on one aspect of the security structure when making an investment decision on whether or not to participate in this Offering.

Each Investor should review the general tax risks of an investment in the Notes.

There may be tax consequences associated with an investment in the Securities. No tax advice is being given herein with respect to the income tax consequences of an investment in the Securities and prospective investors are urged to consult, and must rely on, their own qualified tax advisors concerning the tax consequences of an investment in the Securities.

The Company and the Securities are subject to other unforeseen risks.

The foregoing risks, as well as other risks described in this Offering Summary are not an all-inclusive listing of the business and other risks facing the Company. As with any business entity, the Company cannot predict with certainty all the possible challenges which may confront the Company’s business in future years. It is possible that events or conditions not foreseeable at present and which may not be subject to control by the Company may occur in the future and have an adverse impact on the ability of the Company to carry out their business objectives in a profitable manner.

FOR ALL OF THE AFORESAID REASONS, AND OTHERS SET FORTH HEREIN, THE SECURITIES OFFERED HEREUNDER INVOLVE A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. ANY PERSON CONSIDERING AN INVESTMENT IN THE SECURITIES OFFERED HEREBY SHOULD BE AWARE OF THE SUBSTANTIAL RISKS SET FORTH IN THIS OFFERING PACKAGE. THESE SECURITIES SHOULD ONLY BE PURCHASED BY PERSONS WHO CAN AFFORD TO ABSORB A TOTAL LOSS OF THEIR INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES.

Our firms seek to present vital capital with meaningful investment opportunities through the fundamental analysis of the businesses we seek to finance. Such analysis is usually conducted through a First Principles approach.

When we provide you with a recommendation, we have to act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of yours. At the same time, the way we make money creates some conflicts with your interests. You should understand and ask us about these conflicts because they can affect the recommendations we provide you. Here are some examples to help you understand what this means:

Given the relationships between certain parties, certain conflicts of interest may be inherent to the offering of the Notes:

Proprietary Products: CFS and Carofin will often present investments that are only available through them, which may result in a higher placement fee. CFS and Carofin will receive these fees regardless of your investment performing as expected.

Fee Structure: CFS and Carofin will not receive any cash compensation for conversions of Current Note principal into the Exit Note, but will receive a cash fee equal to 6% of the Current Note principal converted into the New Note, payable at the First Closing from proceeds from new cash subscriptions for the New Note.

Administrative Agent: CFG Financial Services, LLC (“CFG FS”), an affiliate of CFS and Carofin will serve as administrative agent for the New Notes and Exit Note, enforcing certain rights of the Investors against the Company. Given that CFS and Carofin often have a desire to conduct repeat business with its issuers, it may have a conflict of interest in enforcing Investors’ rights against the Company. Such conflict is often addressed by having employees that receive no direct compensation from CFS and/or Carofin’s investment banking business perform duties on behalf of CFG FS.

Furthermore, the Administrative Agent may often be conflicted in its role representing both the New Note and the Exit Note, as the interest of one note may be adverse to the interests of the other note. Once again, this conflict is often addressed by assigning different employees of the Administrative agent represent the interest of each note when such conflicts are presented.

Escrow Proceeds: Investments in the New Notes with bona fide investment intent from parties affiliated with the Company, CFS, or Carofin, and that therefore may have a financial interest in this transaction, will be counted towards the Minimum Offering Amount. Investors should rely on their own judgment of the merits of this investment and not rely on the Minimum Offering Amount being met as an indication that enough persons without any financial interest in the transaction see an investment in the New Notes as worthwhile.

Our firms offer brokerage services to accredited investors, exclusively through the sale of private placements. the offerings we bring to market are carefully selected, and any recommendation you may receive from us will be limited to these offerings. Therefore, we may be unable to adequately compare the risks and benefits of the offerings we bring to offerings presented by other financial professionals. While our firms will often present new investments and discuss such investment’s risks and benefits with you, the ultimate authority to make such investment rests solely with you.

Our firms do not hold any investor cash or securities, and securities offered by us often have no easily assessable market value, so our firms will not monitor the market value of your investment on an ongoing basis. The investments we present often require a minimum investment of $5,000 for equity offerings and $10,000 for debt offerings.

Fees and costs may reduce any amount of money you make on your investments over time. Our firms are mostly compensated through placement fees, which are payable by the issuer, meaning that the firms will be compensated by receiving a percentage of the funds raised in an offering, regardless of the investment performing as expected. Such placement fee is usually between 3% and 7% (please find the specific Placement Fee for this offering in the “Placement Agent Fees” section of the “Security Terms”. Given that different investments have different placement fees, we may often have a conflict of interest when presenting these investments to you. The Firms’ bankers are often compensated by receiving a percentage of the placement fee, and may have their own conflict of interest when presenting you with offerings they structure.
