Crunchfish writes down Blippit shares

Crunchfish Digital Cash is the future of payments and adds multiple benefits to banks and payment service, regardless of payment rail. Crunchfish sees potential in Blippit as an integral part of Digital Cash, but it does not warrant a dedicated team or focus. Crunchfish has therefore decided to write down the value of Blippit AB shares on Crunchfish’s balance sheet.

 

Blippit AB is a joint venture between Crunchfish AB and ClearOn AB. Blippit AB has exclusive rights until year-end 2023 to sell Blippit app terminal in relation to mobile payment apps to POS terminals. Blippit app terminal easily integrates into any kind of payment app and POS terminal and is an integrated part in the Crunchfish Digital Cash platform.

 

Crunchfish continues to see potential in Blippit, but mainly as an integral part of Crunchfish Digital Cash platform. Hence, sales of the Blippit app terminal will not have a dedicated focus going forward but be offered as an add-on product that integrate mobile apps with POS terminals. Crunchfish has therefore decided to make an extraordinary write-down of the share value of Blippit AB in Crunchfish balance sheet to zero. This has a one-time negative impact of SEK 7.6 million on Crunchfish’s Q4 2021 financials.

 

”We are very proud to have developed the world’s first app terminal, which now has become an integrated part of the Digital Cash platform. However, as we do not intend to focus on sales of Blippit app terminal specifically, we have decided to write down the value in Crunchfish’s books”,  says Joachim Samuelsson, CEO of Crunchfish AB.

Crunchfish Digital Cash AB (“Crunchfish”) has received an International Preliminary Report on Patentability (IPRP) in Chapter II of the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) for its initial Digital Cash patent application PCT/SE2020/051251 indicating that all claims 1 – 44 are deemed patentable.

At the moment of payment the transaction is digitally signed by the payer and transmitted locally to the payee as a message providing the payee with a digitally signed commitment, similar to a guaranteed check. If both parties are offline at the moment of payment, settlement will take place later when one of the parties has internet connection and access to the payment service’s back-end. All the transactions are logged locally by both the payer and the payee. It debits the payer’s Digital Cash offline balance and could either credit the payee’s Digital Cash offline balance or demand that the incoming payment is banked before it may be used. 

 

”It is extremely pleasing that our very first Digital Cash patent application for offline payments receives such a clean slate on patentability. This is strategically important for several reasons; the patent application has an early priority date and a very wide scope. It also raises our expectations that our many other Digital Cash patent applications may also be granted later, as they are based on the same core principles”, says Joachim Samuelsson, CEO of Crunchfish.

 

This clean report of the initial Digital Cash patent application follows the announcement of the first granted patent regarding interoperable offline payments in December 2021.
