We have a history of operating losses and may not achieve or sustain profitability in the future.
Future net revenue growth depends on our ability to retain existing customers, drive increased volume on our platform, and attract new customers in
a cost-effective manner. Further, if our new products do not achieve sufficient market acceptance such products may not produce additional revenue.
Our recent growth, ongoing changes in our industry, and our transaction mix make it difficult to forecast our net revenue and evaluate our business
and future prospects.
Our projections are subject to significant risks, assumptions, estimates and uncertainties, including assumptions regarding future legislation and changes in regulations. As a result, our
projected revenues, market share, expenses and profitability may differ materially from our expectations.
Our business relies on our arrangements with financial institutions, third party service providers, processing providers, disbursement providers and other financial services suppliers. If
any of our arrangements with such financial institutions, third party service providers, processing providers, disbursement providers or financial services providers are terminated or
significantly altered, it could adversely affect our business. Further, we do not have redundancies in place for many of these arrangements, and any outages or service interruptions
from these providers and suppliers could result in service interruptions to our customers and adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Our business relies on our relationships with payment card networks and issuing banks, including the categories allowed to be paid using our platform.
If we are unable to maintain these relationships, our business may be adversely affected. Further, changes to the rules, practices or fees, including interchange fees, set by payment
card networks or other banks, could harm our business. In addition, if we fail to comply with the applicable rules
and policies of the payment card networks, they could seek to fine us, suspend us or terminate our ability to participate in such networks, which could adversely affect our business,
results of operations, and financial condition.
We facilitate the transfer of customer funds daily and are subject to the risk of both manual and technological/system errors, which could result in financial losses, damage to our
reputation, and/or loss of trust in our brand, any of which would harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our risk management efforts may not be sufficient to deal effectively with fraud, bad transactions or other fraudulent activities, by payers, recipients, employees or other third parties,
which could increase our loss rate, expose us to material financial losses and liability and otherwise harm our business.
Following the Business Combination, we may still require additional capital to support the growth of our business, and this capital might not be available on acceptable terms, if at all.
We expect indebtedness to remain outstanding following the Business Combination, which subjects us to additional financial and operating restrictions.
