PART I - REGISTRANT INFORMATION

PART II – RULES 12B-25 (b) AND (c)

If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate.)

PART III – NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail why the Form 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-CEN, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period. (Attach extra sheets if needed.)

Alfi, Inc. (the “Company”) is unable, without unreasonable effort or expense, to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 (the “Quarterly Report”) by the November 15, 2021 filing date applicable to smaller reporting companies: (i) due to recent changes in the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and in the Chair of the Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”); and (ii) because the Company has not yet engaged a new independent registered public accounting firm, which is needed to provide the required review of the Company’s financial statements to be filed as part of the Quarterly Report. As previously disclosed by the Company in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), on: (i) October 22, 2021, the Board placed Paul Pereira, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, and Dennis McIntosh, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, on paid administrative leave and elected Peter Bordes, a member of the Board, to serve as the Company’s interim Chief Executive Officer; (ii) October 27, 2021, Richard Mowser, a director of the Company and Chair of the Audit Committee, resigned as a member of the Board; (iii) October 29, 2021, the Company’s then-serving independent registered public accounting firm resigned; (iv) November 1, 2021, the Board appointed Allen Capsuto to serve as a director of the Company and as Chair of the Audit Committee; and (v) November 8, 2021, the Board appointed Louis A. Almerini to serve as the Company’s interim Chief Financial Officer. The Audit Committee is in the process of selecting and engaging a new independent registered public accounting firm.

As a result of the foregoing, the Company is still in the process of completing the financial statements and disclosures required to be included in the Quarterly Report, including obtaining an auditor review of such financial statements. The Company is working diligently to complete and file the Quarterly Report as soon as practicable; however, the Company does not expect to file the Quarterly Report on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date.

PART IV - OTHER INFORMATION

If so: attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

The Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) in May 2021 and the financial statements included in the Company’s prospectus relating to the IPO did not include financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, and no such quarterly financial statements have been prepared or filed with the SEC or otherwise publicly disclosed. As such, the Company is unable to explain any anticipated change from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year. Nevertheless, the Company anticipates a significant change in the results of operations from the quarter ended June 30, 2021 as described below. The description below includes preliminary estimates based on the best information available to management as of the date of this Form 12b-25.

Revenues, net

For the three-month period ended September 30, 2021, the Company expects to report net revenues of $112, compared to net revenues of $936 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021.

Cost of Sales

For the three-month period ended September 30, 2021, the Company expects to report cost of goods sold expense which is significantly higher than the cost of goods sold of $161,377 reported for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021. The increase is primarily due to the cost of tablet deployment and installation and data charges resulting from use of those tablets in the field. The Company is unable to provide an accurate estimate of Cost of Sales at this time, pending discussion and analysis of the increased costs which is expected to result in adjustments.

Operating Expenses

For the three-month period ended September 30, 2021, the Company expects to report operating expenses that are higher than the operating expenses of $4,484,721 reported for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021. The increase is primarily due to substantially higher labor costs due to continued post-IPO growth in staffing.

Other Expense

During the three-month period ended September 30, 2021, the Company was party to material transactions which are expected to result in significant one-time expenses which may affect reported Cost of Sales, Operating Expenses, or Other Expense. The Company is unable to provide an accurate estimate of these expenses at this time, pending further discussion and analysis.

Net Loss

For the three-month period ended September 30, 2021, the Company expects to report a net loss which is significantly higher than the net loss of $4,692,471 reported for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021. The increase is primarily due to the increases in expenses discussed above. The Company is unable to provide an accurate estimate of its net loss at this time, pending further discussion and analysis.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company expects to report Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2021 of $10,066,498, up $10,058,163 from $8,335 at December 31, 2020 but down $9,627,155 from $19,693,653 at June 30, 2021. The increase during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021 was due to proceeds from the IPO, net of uses which included pay off of all outstanding pre-IPO debt and costs to acquire staff, purchase tablets and kiosk devises, make marketing investments, effect a stock buyback, purchase a condominium in Miami Beach, FL, and fund general operating and other costs. The decrease during the three-month period ended June 30, 2021 was due to costs to acquire staff, purchase tablets and kiosk devises, make marketing investments, effect a stock buyback, purchase a condominium in Miami Beach, FL, and fund general operating and other costs.
