Rego Payment Architectures Reports First Quarter 2026 Financial Results with $11,750 Revenue

Rego Payment Architectures, Inc. reported its financial results for the first quarter of 2026, revealing a net revenue of $11,750, a significant increase from zero revenue in the same period last year. The company attributed this revenue to business-to-business Software as a Service (SaaS) subscriptions linked to its mobile payment platform, Mazoola®. Despite this revenue generation, Rego experienced a net loss of $1,937,521 for the quarter, an improvement compared to a net loss of $2,743,488 in the first quarter of 2025. The reduction in losses was primarily due to decreased operating expenses, which totaled $1,617,359, down from $2,556,823 in the prior year.

The company’s operating expenses saw notable changes, with product development costs rising to $876,081 from $558,541, reflecting increased integration and compliance costs associated with the rollout of the Mazoola® platform. Conversely, general and administrative expenses decreased significantly to $593,015 from $1,814,674, largely due to reduced consulting fees. Sales and marketing expenses also fell to $101,296 from $118,733, indicating a strategic shift away from the business-to-consumer market.

Rego's balance sheet as of March 31, 2026, showed total assets of $388,575, down from $492,291 at the end of 2025. Current liabilities increased to $50,786,405 from $48,388,416, driven by higher accounts payable and accrued expenses. The company’s stockholders' deficit widened to $50,397,830 from $47,896,125, reflecting ongoing financial challenges. As of May 20, 2026, Rego reported a cash position of approximately $105,000, which management believes will only sustain operations through May 2026 without additional revenue generation.

Strategically, Rego is focusing on leveraging its COPPA-compliant technology to expand its market reach, particularly in sectors requiring secure payment solutions for minors. The company plans to license its platform to partners in various industries, including financial institutions and educational services, to enhance its revenue streams. However, management cautioned that the company must generate sufficient revenue to support its operations and may need to seek additional financing through debt or equity offerings, which could dilute existing shareholders.

Looking ahead, Rego anticipates that significant revenue growth may not materialize until the third quarter of 2026. The company faces substantial risks, including the need for additional capital and the challenges of competing in a rapidly evolving market. Management's outlook remains cautious, emphasizing the importance of developing customer awareness and confidence in its services while managing expenses closely.
