DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND HISTORY	1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND HISTORY About Paysign, Inc. Paysign, Inc. (the “Company,” “Paysign,” “we” or “our”) was incorporated on August 24, 1995, and trades under the symbol PAYS on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC. Paysign. is a provider of prepaid card programs, comprehensive patient affordability offerings, digital banking services and integrated payment processing designed for businesses, consumers and government institutions. Headquartered in Nevada, the company creates customized, innovative payment solutions for clients across all industries, including pharmaceutical, healthcare, hospitality and retail. Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic The coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic, which started in late 2019 and reached the United States in early 2020, continues to significantly impact the economy of the United States and the rest of the world. While the disruption appears to be mitigating due to the availability of vaccines and other factors, the ultimate duration and severity of the pandemic remain uncertain, particularly given the development of new variants that continue to spread. The COVID-19 outbreak caused plasma center closures, and the stimulus packages signed into law during 2020 and 2021 reduced the incentive for individuals to donate plasma for supplementary income. Those developments have had and will continue to have an adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations. While we remain cautiously optimistic and have seen improvements in our operating results, we cannot foresee how long it may take the Company to attain pre-pandemic operating levels as COVID-19 related labor shortages at plasma donation centers, border closures, and other effects continue to weigh on the Company’s results of operations. Given the uncertainty around the extent and timing of the potential future spread or mitigation of COVID-19 and variants and around the imposition or relaxation of protective measures, management cannot at this time estimate with reasonable accuracy COVID-19’s further impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. Under the provisions of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) signed into law in 2020 and the subsequent extension of the CARES Act through September 30, 2021, the Company was eligible for a refundable employee retention credit subject to certain criteria. The Company has elected an accounting policy to recognize the government assistance when it is probable that the Company is eligible to receive the assistance and present the credit be as a reduction of the related expense. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded $876,456 and $0, respectively, related to the employee retention credit included as a reduction of payroll expense within selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2021 the Company has filed for refunds and recorded $876,456 in other receivables on the consolidated balance sheet.
