RELIANCE ON SEC ORDER GRANTING CONDITIONAL EXEMPTIONS DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCES RELATED TO COVID-19

In accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) Order Under Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Modifying Exemptions from the Reporting and Proxy Delivery Requirements for Public Companies, SEC Release No. 34-88465, dated March 25, 2020 (the “Order”), Remark Holdings, Inc. (“we” or “our”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC on May 13, 2020 stating that we are relying on the relief provided by the Order to delay the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 by up to 45 days. We maintain offices in the cities of Chengdu, Shanghai and Hangzhou in China. As early as January 2020, in response to the early stages of what would become the COVID-19 pandemic, national and local governmental authorities in China began to shut down most forms of public transportation and impose restrictions on travel, public gatherings and non-essential businesses. The restrictions prevented our employees from leaving their homes, from being able to obtain needed information from vendors and customers and, as a result, from completing tasks essential to our accounting and financial reporting process on a timely basis. As a result, we were not able to timely review and prepare our financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The matters discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include “forward-looking statements” about the plans, strategies, objectives, goals or expectations of Remark Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (“Remark”, “we”, “us”, “our”). You will find forward-looking statements principally in the sections entitled Risk Factors and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Such forward-looking statements are identifiable by words or phrases indicating that Remark or management “expects,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “believes,” or “estimates,” or that a particular occurrence or event “will,” “may,” “could,” “should,” or “will likely” result, occur or be pursued or “continue” in the future, that the “outlook” or “trend” is toward a particular result or occurrence, that a development is an “opportunity,” “priority,” “strategy,” “focus,” that we are “positioned” for a particular result, or similarly-stated expectations. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report or such other report, release, presentation, or statement.

In addition to other risks and uncertainties described in connection with the forward-looking statements contained in this report and other periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), there are many important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially. Such risks and uncertainties include general business conditions, changes in overall economic conditions, our ability to integrate acquired assets, the impact of competition and other factors which are often beyond our control.

This should not be construed as a complete list of all of the economic, competitive, governmental, technological and other factors that could adversely affect our expected consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial also may impair our business, operations, liquidity, financial condition and prospects. We undertake no obligation to update or revise our forward-looking statements to reflect developments that occur or information that we obtain after the date of this report.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

Organization and Business

Remark Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (“Remark”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), which include its consolidated variable-interest entities (“VIEs”), are primarily technology-focused. Our KanKan data intelligence platform serves as the basis for our development and deployment of artificial-intelligence-based (“AI-based”) solutions for businesses in many industries and geographies. We also own and operate an e-commerce digital media property focused on a luxury beach lifestyle. Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol MARK.

We recognize revenue primarily from sales of AI-based products and services from our KanKan business.

COVID-19

Our unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were impacted by the effects of the global outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus, or COVID-19, as national and local governmental authorities in China and the U.S., where we operate, have placed significant restrictions on travel and other activities within their respective countries, leading to extended business closures. The restrictions and resulting business closures have limited our operational capabilities, which could have a material adverse impact on our business and which have created significant uncertainties, such as the potential adverse effect of the pandemic on the economy, our vendors, our employees and customers and customer sentiment in general.

The extent of the impact of the pandemic on our business and financial results will depend largely on future developments, including the duration and severity of the outbreak, the length of the travel restrictions and business closures imposed by domestic and foreign governments, the impact on capital and financial markets and the related impact on the financial circumstances of our customers, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. The pandemic-related situation is changing rapidly, and additional impacts of which we are not currently aware may arise. We are closely monitoring developments in the U.S. and in China and are continually assessing the potential impact on our business.

To mitigate the potential material negative effects that COVID-19 may have on our business and to do our part to provide customers with the means to limit the spread of COVID-19, we have repurposed and improved our existing urban life cycle solution that we were selling to make schools in China “smart” schools to build a new product line of high-quality, highly-effective thermal imaging solutions that leverage our innovative software to provide customers with the ability to scan crowds and areas of high foot traffic for indications that certain persons may require secondary screening. We have begun sales efforts primarily in the U.S., as well as in other countries, though no revenue was recognized from this new product line during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Going Concern

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, and in each fiscal year since our inception, we have incurred net losses which have resulted in an accumulated deficit of $349.3 million as of March 31, 2020. Additionally, our operations have historically used more cash than they have provided. Net cash used in continuing operating activities was $2.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020. As of March 31, 2020, our cash and cash equivalents balance was $1.6 million, and we had a negative working capital balance of $28.8 million.

On March 3, 2020, we entered into a common stock purchase agreement (the “2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement”) with Aspire Capital Fund, LLC (“Aspire Capital”) which provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth therein, we have the right to direct Aspire Capital to purchase up to an aggregate of $30.0 million of shares of our common stock over the 30-month term of the 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement. The 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement, which we describe in more detail in Note 14, terminated and replaced the common stock purchase agreement we had entered into with Aspire Capital on March 29, 2019 (the “2019 Aspire Purchase Agreement”).

Concurrently with entering into the 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement, we also entered into a registration rights agreement with Aspire Capital, in which we agreed to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) one or more

Table of Contents 5 Financial Statement Index

registration statements, as necessary, and to the extent permissible and subject to certain exceptions, to register under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the sale of the shares of our common stock that may be issued to Aspire Capital under the 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement. We have filed with the SEC a prospectus supplement to our effective shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-225448) registering all of the shares of common stock that may be offered to Aspire Capital from time to time under the 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement.

As of March 31, 2020, we have issued to Aspire Capital a total of 11,007,726 shares of our common stock under the 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we issued a total of 15,018,729 shares of our common stock to Aspire Capital under the 2019 Aspire Purchase Agreement and the 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement in exchange for approximately $4.6 million plus Aspire Capital’s commitment to participate in the 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement.

We are a party to a financing agreement dated as of September 24, 2015 (as amended, the “Financing Agreement”) with certain of our subsidiaries as borrowers (together with Remark, the “Borrowers”), certain of our subsidiaries as guarantors (the “Guarantors”), the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”) and MGG Investment Group LP (“MGG”), in its capacity as collateral agent and administrative agent for the Lenders, pursuant to which the Lenders extended credit to the Borrowers consisting of a term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $35.5 million (the “Loan”). The terms of the Financing Agreement, the amendments thereto, and related documents effective as of March 31, 2020 are described in Note 12, which also describes our ongoing events of default relating to our failure to make certain required payments under the Financing Agreement as well as certain other ongoing events of default.

Our history of recurring operating losses, working capital deficiencies and negative cash flows from operating activities, in conjunction with the ongoing events of default under the Financing Agreement, give rise to substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.

We intend to fund our future operations and meet our financial obligations through revenue growth in our Technology and Data Intelligence segment, as well as through sales of our thermal-imaging products. We cannot, however, provide assurance that revenue, income and cash flows generated from our businesses will be sufficient to sustain our operations in the twelve months following the filing of this Form 10-Q. As a result, we are actively evaluating strategic alternatives including equity financings and potential sales of investment assets or operating businesses.

Conditions in the debt and equity markets, as well as the volatility of investor sentiment regarding macroeconomic and microeconomic conditions (in particular, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic), will play primary roles in determining whether we can successfully obtain additional capital. We cannot be certain that we will be successful at raising additional capital.

A variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control, affect our cash flow; those factors include the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, regulatory issues, competition, financial markets and other general business conditions. Based on financial projections, we believe that we will be able to meet our ongoing requirements for at least the next 12 months with existing cash, cash equivalents and cash resources, and based on the probable success of one or more of the following plans:

• develop and grow new product line(s)

• monetize existing assets

• obtain additional capital through equity issuances, including but not limited to equity issuances to Aspire Capital under its existing purchase commitment (which equity issuances may significantly dilute existing stockholders).

However, projections are inherently uncertain and the success of our plans is largely outside of our control. As a result, there is substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern, and we may fully utilize our cash resources prior to July 6, 2021.

Table of Contents 6 Financial Statement Index

Comparability

For the quarter ended March 31, 2019, we have adjusted the presentation of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss as well as for the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows to reflect the operations of our former Travel and Entertainment segment as discontinued, so that such presentation is consistent with the 2020 presentation.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

We prepared the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2020, with the audited Consolidated Balance Sheet amounts as of December 31, 2019 presented for comparative purposes, and the related unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Deficit in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q. In compliance with those instructions, we have omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), though management believes the disclosures made herein are sufficient to ensure that the information presented is not misleading.

Our results of operations and our cash flows as of the end of the interim periods reported herein do not necessarily indicate the results we may experience for the remainder of the year or for any other future period.

Management believes that we have included all adjustments (including those of a normal, recurring nature) considered necessary to fairly present our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Stockholders’ Deficit, each as of March 31, 2020, as well as our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for all periods presented. You should read our unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and footnotes in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and footnotes included within the Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “2019 Form 10-K”).

Consolidation

We include all of our subsidiaries, which include the variable-interest entities (“VIEs”) for which we are the primary beneficiary, in our condensed consolidated financial statements, eliminating all significant intercompany balances and transactions during consolidation.

To comply with China’s laws which restrict foreign ownership of entities that operate within industries deemed sensitive by the Chinese government, we employ what we believe is a commonly-used organizational structure consisting of a wholly-foreign owned enterprise (“WFOE”) and the VIEs to operate our KanKan business. We own 100% of the equity of the WFOE, while the VIEs are companies formed in China under local laws which are owned by members of our management team. We funded the registered capital and operating expenses of the VIEs by extending loans to the VIEs’ owners. We are the primary beneficiary of the VIEs because the relationships between the VIEs and our WFOE are governed by contractual agreements, including in each case an Exclusive Call Option Agreement, an Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement, a Proxy Agreement and an Equity Pledge Agreement, which give us control over the operations of the VIEs.

We use the fair value method to account for equity investments in which we cannot exercise significant influence over the investee, such as with our investment in Sharecare, Inc. (“Sharecare”). With regard to our investment in Sharecare, GAAP allows us to continue to carry our investment at cost less impairment until such time as an observable price change in the underlying security occurs. Any gains or losses resulting from a change in fair value are recorded to the statement of operations. We use the equity method for equity investments in which we can exercise significant influence over the investee, such as our investment in Beijing All-in-one Cloud Net Technology, Co. Ltd. (“AIO”) (see Note 6 for information on our investments in unconsolidated affiliates).

Table of Contents 7 Financial Statement Index

Use of Estimates

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. While preparing our financial statements, we make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to accounts receivable, intangible assets, the useful lives of property and equipment, stock-based compensation, the fair value of the warrant liability, income taxes, inventory reserve and purchase price allocation, among other items.

As of March 31, 2020, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to unfold. As a result, many of our estimates and assumptions required increased judgment and carry a higher degree of variability and volatility. As events continue to evolve and additional information becomes available, our estimates may change materially in future periods.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

We have reviewed all recently issued accounting pronouncements. The pronouncements that we have already adopted, did not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or reporting thereof, we do not believe that any of the pronouncements that we have not yet adopted will have a material effect upon our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or reporting thereof.

NOTE 3. REVENUE

We are not required to include disclosures related to remaining performance obligations because substantially all of our contracts with customers have an original expected duration of one year or less.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The following table presents a disaggregation of our revenue by major category (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2020		2019
AI-based products and services	$	324	$	425
Advertising and other	107		784
Revenue	$	431	$	1,209

Significant Judgments

When accounting for revenue we make certain judgments, such as whether we act as a principal or as an agent in transactions or whether our contracts with customers fall within the scope of current GAAP regarding revenue, that affect the determination of the amount and timing of our revenue from contracts with customers. Based on the current facts and circumstances related to our contracts with customers, none of the judgments we make involve an elevated degree of qualitative significance or complexity such that further disclosure is warranted in terms of their potential impact on the amount and timing of our revenue.

Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities

We do not currently generate material contract assets. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, our contract liability changed only as a result of routine business activity.

Table of Contents 8 Financial Statement Index

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we did not recognize material amounts of revenue which were included in the beginning balance of Contract liability at January 1, 2020, while we recognized $0.1 million of revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2019 which was included in the beginning balance of Contract liability at January 1, 2019.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, we did not recognize revenue from performance obligations within the scope of ASC 606 that were satisfied in previous periods.

NOTE 4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Liabilities Related to Warrants to Purchase Common Stock

At the end of each reporting period, we use the Monte Carlo Simulation model to estimate and report the fair value of liabilities related to certain outstanding warrants to purchase common stock. As of March 31, 2020, our outstanding liability-classified warrants include the warrants we issued or that we are obligated to issue as part of the consideration for our acquisition (the “CBG Acquisition”) of assets of China Branding Group Limited (“CBG”) in September 2016 (the “CBG Acquisition Warrants”) and warrants we issued as a result of an amendment to the Financing Agreement related to the acquisition (the “CBG Financing Warrants”).

The following table presents the quantitative inputs, which we classify in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, used in estimating the fair value of the warrants:

	March 31,		December 31,
	2020		2019
CBG Financing Warrants
Expected volatility	85.00	%	85.00	%
Risk-free interest rate	0.33	%	1.60	%
Expected remaining term (years)	0.48		0.73
CBG Acquisition Warrants
Expected volatility	75.00	%	75.00	%
Risk-free interest rate	0.52	%	1.65	%
Expected remaining term (years)	3.48		3.72

In addition to the quantitative assumptions above, we also consider whether we would issue additional equity and, if so, the price per share of such equity. At March 31, 2020, we estimated that one future equity financing event would potentially occur within the subsequent twelve months.

Our estimate of expected volatility and our stock price tend to have the most significant impact on the estimated fair value of the CBG Financing Warrants and the CBG Acquisition Warrants. We determined that, for the three months ended March 31, 2020, adding or subtracting five percentage points with regard to our estimate of expected volatility, or increases or decreases in our stock price of five percent, would not have resulted in changes to our estimates of fair value, except as follows:

	Increase	Decrease
Change in volatility
CBG Acquisition Warrants	—	58

Contingent Consideration Issued in Business Acquisition

We used the discounted cash flow valuation technique to estimate the fair value of the liability related to certain cash payments stipulated in our acquisition of Vegas.com, LLC (“Vegas.com”) in September 2015 that were contingent upon the performance of Vegas.com in the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017, and 2018 (the “Earnout Payments”). The significant unobservable inputs that we used, which we classify in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, were projected earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), the probability of achieving certain amounts of EBITDA, and the rate used to discount the liability.

The following table presents the change during the three months ended March 31, 2020 in the balance of the liability associated with the Earnout Payments (in thousands):

Balance at beginning of period	$	1,086
Interest accrued on unpaid balance	17
Balance at end of period	$	1,103

On the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, we included the liability for contingent consideration as a component of Accrued expense and other current liabilities.

NOTE 5. TRADE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Generally, it is not unusual for Chinese entities to pay their vendors on longer timelines than the timelines typically observed in U.S. commerce. Trade receivables related to our AI projects (exclusive of certain financial technology (“FinTech”) services we provided) represent 63% of our gross trade receivables. Substantially all of our remaining gross trade receivables balance resulted from the FinTech service, which we have discontinued.

NOTE 6. INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES

In 2009, we co-founded a U.S.-based venture, Sharecare, to build a web-based platform that simplifies the search for health and wellness information. The other co-founders of Sharecare were Dr. Mehmet Oz, HARPO Productions, Discovery Communications, Jeff Arnold and Sony Pictures Television. As of March 31, 2020, we owned approximately 4.6% of Sharecare’s issued stock and maintained representation on its Board of Directors.

During June 2018, one of our consolidated VIEs acquired a 20% interest in AIO, a Chinese technology company which provides consulting and data services to the Chinese film industry, in exchange for $1.0 million, a portion of which was paid as of March 31, 2020, and a license to use our proprietary KanKan data intelligence platform in China. Based on our evaluation of the facts and circumstances related to the transaction, we determined that we will account for such transaction using the equity method of accounting. We recognize our equity in the net earnings or losses relating to AIO on a one-quarter reporting lag in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the amount of our equity in AIO’s net earnings for their quarter ended December 31, 2019 was not material.

NOTE 9. LEASES

We lease office space and equipment under contracts we classify as operating leases. None of our leases are financing leases. As of March 31, 2020, the current portion of our operating lease liability was $0.3 million and was reported in Accrued expense and other current liabilities on our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The following table presents the detail of our lease expense, net of sublease income, which is reported in General and administrative expense (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended
	2020		2019
Operating lease expense	$	394	$	318
Short-term lease expense	75		66
Lease expense	$	469	$	384

We reported within continuing operating cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, de minimis amounts and $0.1 million, respectively, of cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities.

As of March 31, 2020, our operating leases had a weighted-average remaining lease term of approximately 16 months, and we used a weighted-average discount rate of 12% to measure our operating lease liabilities.

Maturity of Lease Liabilities

The following table presents information regarding the maturities of our undiscounted remaining operating lease payments, with a reconciliation to the amount of the liabilities representing such payments as presented in our March 31, 2020 unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (in thousands):

Significant Judgments

When accounting for our leases, we make certain judgments, such as whether a contract contains a lease or what discount rate to use, that affect the determination of the amount of our lease assets and liabilities. Based on the current facts and circumstances related to our contracts, none of the judgments we make involve an elevated degree of qualitative significance or complexity such that further disclosure is warranted.

NOTE 10. INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The following table summarizes intangible assets by category (in thousands):

	March 31, 2020							December 31, 2019

Total amortization expense was de minimis and $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

NOTE 11. INCOME TAX

Our effective tax rate (“ETR”) from continuing operations was 0.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The quarterly ETR has not significantly differed from our historical annual ETR because we continue to maintain a full valuation allowance against our existing deferred tax assets.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many governments have enacted or are contemplating measures to provide aid and economic stimulus. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), which was enacted on March 27, 2020 in the U.S., includes measures to assist companies, including temporary change to income and non-income-based tax laws. As of March 31, 2020, we do not currently expect the provisions of the CARES Act to have a material effect on current income tax expense or the realizability of deferred income tax assets. We will monitor additional guidance and impact that the CARES Act and other potential legislation may have on our income taxes

NOTE 12. DEBT

Short-Term Debt

On April 12, 2017, we issued a short-term note payable in the principal amount of $3.0 million to a private lender in exchange for cash in the same amount. The agreement, which does not have a stated interest rate, required us to repay the note plus a fee of $115 thousand on the maturity date of June 30, 2017. The note is accruing interest at $500 per day on the unpaid principal until we repay the note in full. As of March 31, 2020, we owe $3.3 million in principal and accrued interest.

Table of Contents 13 Financial Statement Index

Other Debt

The following table presents debt (in thousands) as of:

	March 31, 2020		December 31, 2019
Loan due May 2020	$	11,931	$	12,025

On September 24, 2015, we entered into the Financing Agreement, pursuant to which the Lenders provided us with the $27.5 million Loan. We entered into Amendment No. 1 to Financing Agreement on September 20, 2016 which, among other changes, increased the Loan by $8.0 million to a total aggregate principal amount of $35.5 million. As of March 31, 2020, after amendments and other events described below, the Loan bore interest at three-month LIBOR (with a floor of 2%) plus 11% per annum, payable monthly, and had a maturity date of May 15, 2020. As of March 31, 2020, the applicable interest rate on the Loan was approximately 13% per annum.

In connection with the Financing Agreement, we also entered into a security agreement dated as of September 24, 2015 (the “Security Agreement”) with the other Borrowers and the Guarantors for the benefit of MGG, as collateral agent for the Secured Parties referred to therein, to secure the obligations of the Borrowers and the Guarantors under the Financing Agreement. The Security Agreement provided for a first-priority lien on, and security interest in, all assets of Remark and our subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions.

On April 30, 2018, we entered into Amendment No. 4 and Waiver to Financing Agreement (the “Fourth Financing Amendment”), which provided for, among other things, (i) a reduction in the interest rate on the remaining amount outstanding under the Financing Agreement to three-month LIBOR plus 8.5% per annum, (ii) an extension of the maturity date under the Financing Agreement to September 30, 2020, (iii) a modification of certain of our covenants under the Financing Agreement, including covenants regarding capital expenditures, minimum value of certain of our assets, consolidated EBITDA of Vegas.com and its subsidiaries, and revenue generated by KanKan, (iv) an increase in the amount we are permitted to invest in our non-U.S. subsidiaries operating our KanKan business, (v) a waiver by the Lenders of certain events of default under the Financing Agreement, and (vi) prepayment by the Borrowers of $8.0 million principal amount outstanding and $3.5 million of exit fees under the Financing Agreement within 60 days following the date of the Fourth Financing Amendment. In consideration for the Lenders’ entry into the Fourth Financing Amendment, we also paid a closing fee of approximately $413 thousand.

Effective as of June 29, 2018, we entered into Amendment No. 5 and Waiver to Financing Agreement (the “Fifth Financing Amendment”) pursuant to which the Lenders agreed, among other things, to extend the due date of the prepayments required by the Fourth Financing Amendment for up to three months, provided that we made extension payments on the first business day of each such month. The extension payments were $250,000 for each of the first two months and $500,000 for the third month, with the final extension period ending on September 28, 2018. We made the extension payments required by the Fifth Financing Amendment to extend the due date of the prepayments required by the Fourth Financing Amendment to September 28, 2018; however, we failed to prepay the $8.0 million principal amount and $3.5 million of exit fees due on such date. Such failure to make the required payments constituted an event of default under the Financing Agreement and as a result, from September 28, 2018, the Loan bore interest at three-month LIBOR plus 11.0%, the default interest rate.

On May 15, 2019, we completed the sale of all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Vegas.com, LLC (the “VDC Transaction”) and used the cash proceeds of $30 million to pay amounts due under the Financing Agreement, of which approximately $10 million remained outstanding after giving effect to the application of such cash proceeds. On the same date, in connection with the closing of the VDC Transaction, we entered into Amendment No. 6 and Waiver to Financing Agreement (the “Sixth Financing Amendment”), pursuant to which, among other things, (i) the Lenders waived all events of default under the Financing Agreement existing as of the date of the Sixth Financing Amendment, (ii) MGG released any and all liens in the equity interests of Vegas.com and its subsidiaries and their assets and properties, (iii) the Borrowers could add the amount of any accrued and unpaid interest to the outstanding principal amount of the Loan, (iv) the remaining principal amount outstanding under the Financing Agreement accrued interest at a rate equal to the three-month LIBOR (with a floor of 2%) plus 8.5% per annum, (v) the continuing Loan had a maturity date of May 15, 2020, (vi) covenants with respect to capital

Table of Contents 14 Financial Statement Index

expenditures and revenue generated by our KanKan business were eliminated and covenants regarding the minimum value of certain of our assets, our minimum liquidity and the amount we were permitted to invest in our non-U.S. subsidiaries were modified, and (vii) we were required to commence a sale process with respect to our equity in Sharecare within five business days of the effective date of the Sixth Financing Amendment, and to use the net cash proceeds of such sale to pay in full our outstanding obligations under the Financing Agreement the (“Sharecare Covenant”).

The Financing Agreement contained certain affirmative and negative covenants. As of March 31, 2020, we were not in compliance with certain of such covenants under the Financing Agreement, including a covenant requiring us to obtain and pay for a tail directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy (the “Tail Policy”) by June 4, 2019 in connection with the VDC Transaction, and a covenant requiring us to make the final Earnout Payment by June 14, 2019. Additionally, although we have actively taken steps to monetize our ownership interest in Sharecare, we did not comply with certain procedural requirements stipulated by the Sharecare Covenant. Our non-compliance with such covenants constituted events of default under the Financing Agreement. In addition, in June 2019, the Lenders paid the $1.1 million of premium under the Tail Policy on our behalf and such amount was added to the amount of principal due under the Financing Agreement. See Note 13 for further discussion of Lendor actions.

NOTE 13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

At March 31, 2020, we had no material commitments outside the normal course of business.

Contingencies

As of March 31, 2020, we were neither a defendant in any material pending legal proceeding nor are we aware of any material threatened claims against us and, therefore, we have not accrued any contingent liabilities, except as described below.

Earnout Payment

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we have accrued approximately $1.1 million related to the Earnout Payment related to our acquisition of Vegas.com. See Note 4 for more information regarding the Earnout Payment.

Termination of Lease and Related Landlord Actions

Since approximately July 2019, we have not been able to pay our obligations under the office lease for our former office located at 3960 Howard Hughes Parkway. On March 5, 2020, the landlord exercised its right to terminate the lease as of such date as a result of the ongoing payment default.

On April 9, 2020, the landlord filed suit against us in Nevada to recover the approximately $1.1 million of rent owed through March 5, 2020, plus damages resulting from the early termination of the lease. Based on calculations stipulated by the lease, we estimated the increase to rent expense and to the current portion of our operating lease liability, net of security deposit of $0.3 million, was approximately $1.5 million as of March 31, 2020; this amount is subject to change based upon future events.

We have leased new office space under a lease that is not material to our consolidated financial statements.

Lender Actions and Repayment of Debt

On January 8, 2020, we received a notice from MGG that, as a result of certain continuing defaults under the Financing Agreement, the Lenders had exercised their right under the Financing Agreement to replace the single-member board of directors of our wholly-owned subsidiary that holds our investment (described in Note 6) in Sharecare with a person of their choosing.

Table of Contents 15 Financial Statement Index

On March 16, 2020, we received a notice of acceleration from MGG, in which MGG declared that the entire unpaid principal of and any accrued and unpaid interest on the Loan, and all fees and other amounts payable under the Financing Agreement, are immediately due and payable and demanded that all such amounts be paid immediately to MGG.

On March 16, 2020, MGG filed a Summons with Notice against us in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, alleging a claim for breach of contract under the Financing Agreement.

On May 28, 2020, we repaid in full all outstanding obligations under, and terminated, the Financing Agreement. As a result, we believe that there are no grounds for MGG’s lawsuit against us to continue. On the same date, and concurrently with repaying all outstanding obligations under the Financing Agreement, we agreed to reduce by $0.30 per share the exercise price of the CBG Financing Warrants to purchase 6,601,558 shares of our common stock.

On June 23, 2020, MGG voluntarily discontinued the legal action against us in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York.

NOTE 14. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY, STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION AND NET LOSS PER SHARE

Equity Issuances

On March 3, 2020, we entered into the 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement with Aspire Capital which provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth therein, we have the right to direct Aspire Capital to purchase up to an aggregate of $30.0 million of shares of our common stock over the 30-month term of the 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement. The 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement replaced the 2019 Aspire Purchase Agreement, which terminated under the terms of the 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement. In consideration for entering into the 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement, we have issued to Aspire Capital 2,374,545 shares of our common stock.

Under the 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement, on any trading day selected by us over the 30-month term of the 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement, we have the right, in our sole discretion, to present Aspire Capital with a purchase notice (each, a “Purchase Notice”) directing Aspire Capital to purchase up to 250,000 shares of our common stock per trading day, up to an aggregate of $30.0 million of our common stock, at a per share price equal to the lesser of (i) the lowest sale price of our common stock on the purchase date or (ii) the arithmetic average of the three lowest closing sale prices for our common stock during the 10 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately preceding the purchase date.

The aggregate purchase price payable by Aspire Capital on any one purchase date may not exceed $500,000, unless otherwise mutually agreed. The parties may mutually agree to increase the number of shares of our common stock that may be purchased per trading day pursuant to the terms of the 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement to an additional 2,000,000 shares.

In addition, on any trading day on which we submit a Purchase Notice to Aspire Capital to purchase at least 250,000 shares, we also have the right, in our sole discretion, to present Aspire Capital with a volume-weighted average price purchase notice (each, a “VWAP Purchase Notice”) directing Aspire Capital to purchase an amount of our common stock equal to up to 30% of the aggregate shares of our common stock traded on the next trading day (the “VWAP Purchase Date”), subject to a maximum number of shares we may determine, and a minimum purchase price threshold equal to the greater of (i) 80% of the closing price of our common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the VWAP Purchase Date or (ii) a higher price that may be determined by us. The purchase price per share pursuant to such VWAP Purchase Notice will be equal to the lesser of (i) the closing sale price of our common stock on the VWAP Purchase Date, or (ii) 97% of the volume-weighted average price for our common stock traded on its principal market on the VWAP Purchase Date.

We may deliver multiple Purchase Notices and VWAP Purchase Notices to Aspire Capital from time to time during the term of the 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement, so long as the most recent purchase has been completed.

In addition, Aspire Capital will not be required to buy any shares of our common stock pursuant to a Purchase Notice on any trading day on which the closing trade price of our common stock is below $0.25. There are no trading volume requirements or restrictions under the 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement, and we will control the timing and amount of sales of our common stock to Aspire Capital. Aspire Capital has no right to require any sales by us, but is obligated to make purchases from us as directed by us in accordance with the 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement. There are no limitations on use of proceeds, financial or business covenants, restrictions on future fundings, rights of first refusal, participation rights, penalties or liquidated damages in the 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement. The 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement may be terminated by us at any time, at our discretion, without any cost to us. Aspire Capital has agreed that neither it nor any of its agents, representatives and

Table of Contents 16 Financial Statement Index

affiliates will engage in any direct or indirect short-selling or hedging our common stock during any time prior to the termination of the 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement.

The 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement provides that the total number of shares that may be issued pursuant to such agreement is limited to 11,007,726 shares (the “Exchange Cap”), or 19.99% of our shares of common stock outstanding as of the date of the 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement, unless stockholder approval is obtained in accordance with the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market. If stockholder approval is not obtained, such limitation will not apply after the Exchange Cap is reached if at all times thereafter the average purchase price paid for all shares issued under the 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement is equal to or greater than $0.4879 per share. The 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement also provides that at no time will Aspire Capital (together with its affiliates) beneficially own more than 19.99% of our outstanding shares of common stock. See Note 18 for details regarding and amendment of the 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement.

As of March 31, 2020, we have issued to Aspire Capital a total of 11,007,726 shares of our common stock under the 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we issued a total of 15,018,729 shares of our common stock to Aspire Capital under the 2019 Aspire Purchase Agreement and the 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement in exchange for $4.6 million plus Aspire Capital’s commitment to participate in the 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement.

Stock-Based Compensation 

We are authorized to issue equity-based awards under our 2010 Equity Incentive Plan, our 2014 Incentive Plan, and our 2017 Incentive Plan, each of which our stockholders have approved. We also award cash bonuses (“China Cash Bonuses”) to our employees in China, which grants are not subject to a formal incentive plan and which can only be settled in cash. We grant such awards to attract, retain and motivate eligible officers, directors, employees and consultants. Under each of the plans, we have granted shares of restricted stock and options to purchase common stock to our officers and employees with exercise prices equal to or greater than the fair value of the underlying shares on the grant date.

Stock options and China Cash Bonuses generally expire 10 years from the grant date. All forms of equity awards and China Cash Bonuses vest upon the passage of time, the attainment of performance criteria, or both. When participants exercise stock options, we issue any shares of our common stock resulting from such exercise from new authorized and unallocated shares available at the time of exercise.

The following table summarizes activity under our equity incentive plans related to equity-classified stock option grants as of March 31, 2020, and changes during the three months then ended:

During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, we incurred a de minimis amount of share-based compensation expense.

Net Loss per Share 

For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, there were no reconciling items related to either the numerator or denominator of the loss per share calculation.

Securities which would have been anti-dilutive to a calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 include the outstanding stock options described above; the outstanding CBG Acquisition Warrant, which may be exercised to purchase 40,000 shares of our common stock at a per-share exercise price of $10.00 (we are also committed to the future issuance of additional CBG Acquisition Warrants at the same per-share exercise price as the CBG Acquisition Warrant that has already been issued); and the outstanding CBG Financing Warrants, which may be exercised to purchase 4,896,313 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share.

NOTE 15. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

As of March 31, 2020, we had outstanding approximately $0.5 million of receivables from related parties. The receivables represent cash advances in excess of expense reimbursements to senior management. The cash to be received from these receivables will be injected as additional capital into our VIEs in China. As of July 6, 2020, the funds had not yet been deposited into the VIEs.

NOTE 16. SEGMENT INFORMATION

As a result of our disposal of the previously-reported Travel and Entertainment segment, we currently report one segment: our Technology & Data Intelligence segment, which provides services to our customers based upon the data collected and processed by our proprietary data intelligence software.

Our chief operating decision maker uses Adjusted EBITDA as the primary measure of profitability for evaluating the operational performance of our reportable segment. Adjusted EBITDA represents operating income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization expense, share-based compensation expense, impairments and net other income, less other loss. We do not allocate certain types of shared expense, such as legal and accounting, to our reportable segment; such costs are included in Corporate Entity and Other.

NOTE 18. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Sales of Common Stock to Aspire Capital

In a series of transactions between March 25, 2020 and May 12, 2020, we sold 41,853,345 shares of our common stock to Aspire Capital under the 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement in exchange for $30.0 million.

Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation authorizes us to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of our common stock, of which 99,408,916 shares were outstanding as of July 3, 2020. In addition, as of July 3, 2020, we had outstanding stock options allowing for the purchase of as many as approximately 10.3 million shares of common stock and we had outstanding warrants to purchase 6,641,558 shares of common stock. If all of our outstanding stock options and warrants were exercised, the total number of shares of our common stock that we would be required to issue would greatly exceed the number of our remaining authorized but unissued shares of common stock.

As a result of such potential shortfall in the number of our authorized shares of common stock, we will have insufficient shares of common stock available to issue in connection with the exercise of our outstanding stock options and warrants or any future equity financing transaction we may seek to undertake. Accordingly, we intend to seek approval of an increase in the number of our authorized shares of common stock at our 2020 annual meeting of stockholders.

Amendment to Common Stock Purchase Agreement

On April 9, 2020, we entered into a First Amendment to the 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement (the “Aspire Amendment”), which amends the 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement to provide that (i) we may issue up to an additional 13,220,164 shares (the

Table of Contents 20 Financial Statement Index

“New Exchange Cap”), or 19.99% of our shares of common stock outstanding as of the date of the Aspire Amendment, pursuant to the 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement following the effective date of the Aspire Amendment, unless stockholder approval is obtained in accordance with the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market, (ii) if stockholder approval is not obtained, such limitation will not apply after the New Exchange Cap is reached if at all times thereafter the average purchase price paid for all shares issued under the 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement following the effective date of the Aspire Amendment is equal to or greater than $0.3950 per share, (iii) we have the right, in our sole discretion, to present Aspire Capital with a Purchase Notice directing Aspire Capital to purchase up to 500,000 shares of our common stock per trading day, (iv) the aggregate purchase price payable by Aspire Capital on any one purchase date may not exceed $1,000,000, unless otherwise mutually agreed, (v) on any trading day on which we submit a purchase notice to Aspire Capital to purchase at least 500,000 shares of common stock, we also have the right, in our sole discretion, to present Aspire Capital with a VWAP Purchase Notice directing Aspire Capital to purchase an amount of our common stock equal to up to 30% of the aggregate shares of our common stock traded on the next trading day, (vi) the purchase price per share pursuant to such VWAP Purchase Notice will be equal to the lesser of (A) the closing sale price of our common stock on the VWAP Purchase Date, or (B) 95% of the volume-weighted average price for our common stock traded on its principal market on the VWAP Purchase Date, and (vii) Aspire Capital will not be required to buy any shares of our common stock pursuant to a Purchase Notice on any trading day on which the closing trade price of our common stock is below $0.15.

Landlord Actions

On April 9, 2020, the landlord under the office lease for our former office located at 3960 Howard Hughes Parkway filed suit against us in Nevada to recover the approximately $1.1 million of rent owed plus damages resulting from the early termination of the lease. Based on calculations stipulated by the lease, we estimated the increase to rent expense and to the current portion of our operating lease liability, net of security deposit of $0.3 million, was approximately $1.5 million; this amount is subject to change based upon future events. We recorded such amount during 2019, and we report it as part of the current portion of our operating lease liability within Accrued expense and other current liabilities as of March 31, 2020.

Lender Actions and Repayment of Debt

On May 28, 2020, we repaid in full all outstanding obligations under, and terminated, the Financing Agreement. On the same date, and concurrently with repaying all outstanding obligations under the Financing Agreement, we agreed to reduce by $0.30 per share the exercise price of the CBG Financing Warrants to purchase 6,601,558 shares of our common stock.

On June 23, 2020, MGG voluntarily discontinued the legal action against us in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto set forth in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.  Such discussion and analysis includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties and that are not historical facts, including statements about our beliefs and expectations. You should also read “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in the section following the table of contents of this report.

OVERVIEW

We are a diversified global technology company with leading artificial intelligence (“AI”) and data-analytics solutions, as well as a portfolio of digital media properties.

Our AI Business

Through our proprietary data and AI platform, our Remark AI business (currently known in the Asia-Pacific region as KanKan, and which we report as our Technology & Data Intelligence segment) generates our data platform services revenue by delivering AI-based vision products, computing devices and software-as-a-service solutions for businesses in many industries. In addition to the other work that we have ramped up, we continue partnering with top universities on research projects targeting algorithm, artificial neural network and computing architectures which we believe keeps us among the leaders in technology development. During 2019, our research team participated in a series of computer vision competitions at the Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition and the International Conference on Computer Vision (considered the top two computer vision conferences in the world) and was ranked first or second in many of such competitions.

We continue to market Remark AI’s innovative AI-based solutions to customers in the retail, urban life cycle and workplace and food safety markets.

Retail Solutions. Utilizing a client’s existing cameras and strategic sensors placed throughout the store, Remark AI’s retail solutions swiftly analyze real-time customer shopping behavior, such as time of store entry and shelf-browsing habits, and provide managers with a customer heatmap that reflects traffic patterns. Purchase history is also analyzed, leading to relevant offers for future purchase conversions, and customers for their continued loyalty through a special VIP status that brings customized promotions and coupons along with attentive customer service. Remark AI’s retail solutions allow retailers and store managers to make better data-driven decisions regarding store layout, item placement, and pricing strategy, all while anonymizing customers’ identities to protect their privacy.

Urban Life Cycle Solutions. We offer and have installed several solutions in what we call the urban life cycle category. Our urban life cycle solutions include our AI community system which assists in building “smart” communities by enhancing community security and safety. We also have AI solutions that help to make schools “smart” by (i) providing an accurate and convenient method for student check-in and check-out, (ii) providing an autonomous method of campus monitoring that enhances students’ safety by, for example, monitoring students for elevated body temperatures that could indicate viral infections such as influenza or COVID-19, detecting trespassers, detecting dangerous behaviors or physical accidents that could result in injury, and (iii) monitoring the school kitchen for safety violations.

In traffic management, our solutions assist in monitoring traffic for various violations by automatically detecting, capturing, and obtaining evidence regarding violations such as speeding, running red lights, driving against the flow of traffic and even using counterfeit registration plates. Additionally, our solutions provide constant road-condition monitoring, providing control centers with real-time information on traffic conditions such as areas of congestion or other traffic anomalies.

Workplace and Food Safety Solutions. The monitoring and detection capabilities of our solutions ensure that workers are practicing established food safety protocols, wearing the proper personal protective equipment, and complying with local health codes. From commercial kitchens to factories to construction work zones, our safety-compliance algorithms manage regulatory functions, review hygienic and equipment status while checking and alerting management regarding violations.

Other Businesses

In addition to our AI and data analytics solutions, we maintain a digital media portfolio which, in addition to operating businesses, includes an approximately five percent ownership in the issued stock of Sharecare, Inc., an established health and wellness platform with more than 100 million users, which has now raised in excess of $425 million of total capital. We continue to evaluate opportunities to monetize and maximize the value of this asset for our shareholders. In addition to Data Platform Services revenue from our Remark AI business, activities such as online merchandise sales generated from Bikini.com, our e-commerce website selling swimwear and accessories in the latest styles, also contributed to our consolidated revenue in the current-year and prior-year periods, while advertising also contributed to revenue in prior-year periods.

Overall Business Outlook

Our innovative AI and data analytics solutions continue to gain worldwide awareness and recognition through media exposure, comparative testing, product demonstrations and word of mouth resulting from positive responses and increased acceptance. We intend to expand our business not only in the Asia-Pacific region, where we believe there still are fast-growth AI market opportunities for our solutions, but also in the United States and other countries where we see a tremendous number of requests for AI products and solutions in the workplace and public safety markets, especially in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the COVID-19 pandemic may also continue to present challenges to our business, as could economic and geopolitical conditions in some international regions, and we do not yet know what will be the ultimate effects on our business. We continue to pursue large business opportunities, but anticipating when, or if, we can close these opportunities is difficult. Quickly deploying our software solutions in the market segments we have identified, in which we may face a number of large, well-known competitors, is also difficult.

Business Developments During 2020

The first quarter of 2020 was one of renewed focus for us as we repurposed and improved our existing urban life cycle solution that we were selling to make schools in China “smart” schools to build a new product line of high-quality, highly-effective thermal imaging solutions that leverage our innovative software to provide customers with the ability to scan crowds and areas of high foot traffic for indications that certain persons may require secondary screening. We spent most of the quarter on product development and relationship building, with no revenue recognized from sales of the new products. Our expectation is that the U.S. will be the primary market for this new product line, though we will continue to work to develop other markets as well.

Though Chinese New Year celebrations, working capital constraints and the U.S.-China trade war had some adverse impact, our business has also been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has resulted in national and local governmental authorities across the world implementing numerous preventative measures in an effort to control the spread of the virus, including travel restrictions, shelter-in-place orders, school closings, closure of non-essential businesses and other quarantine measures. The pandemic and the related preventative measures have limited our operational capabilities by preventing our employees from working for long periods of time and causing many of our customers to delay implementation of contracts we already signed with them, all of which has adversely impacted our business and results of operations. Our business and financial results may be materially and adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic for the duration of 2020 or longer, and we are unable to predict the duration or degree of such impact with any certainty.

The following table presents our revenue categories as a percentage of total consolidated revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Matters Affecting Comparability of Results

During the second quarter of 2019, we disposed of the subsidiaries comprising our former Travel and Entertainment segment and we have reported such former segment as a discontinued operation in the three months ended March 31, 2019 in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. Unless otherwise noted therein, the Results of Operations section below only discusses our continuing operations.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we made no material changes to our critical accounting policies as we disclosed them in Part II, Item 7 of our 2019 Form 10-K.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion summarizes our operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Reportable Segment Results

Other operating expense	—		6		(6		)	(100	)%

Revenue and Cost of Revenue. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we did not complete many projects, as the combined effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the ongoing U.S.-China trade war, working capital constraints and Chinese New Year celebrations conspired to weigh on our business. The comparable period of the prior year included several project completions, including a larger project for which we recognized approximately $0.9 million in cost of revenue despite not being able to recognize the associated revenue due to uncertainty of collection of contract amounts due us.

Sales and marketing. Our sales and marketing expense decreased almost entirely as a result of a reduction in headcount that resulted in decreased payroll-related expense as well as stock-based compensation expense.

Technology and development. Our technology and development expense also decreased primarily as a result of headcount reduction.

General and administrative. As part of our continued effort to reduce costs, we moved to a new office space in Chengdu, China under a lease that resulted in approximately $0.1 million less rent expense during the three months ended March 31, 2020. Another $0.1 million decrease resulted from less use of professional services.

In addition to the results of operations of our reportable segment that we described above, the following items impacted our consolidated results of operations:

Revenue and Cost of Revenue. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, revenue from our Remark Entertainment business decreased $0.5 million due to contracts that ended in the prior year that we did not renew, while e-commerce revenue decreased about $0.2 million due to the combined effects of our decision to sell portions of our inventory at lower costs as well as reduced orders as the COVID-19 pandemic set in and changed consumer behavior.

Because we had recognized a full reserve against our inventory in the prior year, e-commerce cost of revenue decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Sales and marketing. The decrease in sales and marketing expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 primarily resulted from a decrease in headcount.

General and administrative. The decrease in general and administrative expense incurred by our non-reportable-segment businesses in the first quarter of 2020 resulted because the comparable period of the prior year contained $0.4 million of legal and accounting costs related to the pending sale of our Vegas.com business.

Interest expense. Our prepayment of a large portion of our debt when we completed the sale of Vegas.com resulted in the decrease in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Gain on lease termination. We recognized a gain when we terminated the lease for our former office space during the three months ended March 31, 2020, while the comparable period of the prior year reflected no comparable activity.

Change in fair value of warrant liability. The fair value of our warrant liability maintains a direct relationship with the price of our common stock, such that the decrease in our common stock price between December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020 resulted in a corresponding decrease in the fair value of our warrant liability. The decrease in our common stock price was much smaller in scale than the increase in our common stock price between December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2019 and, as a result, we recognized only a small gain in the current period compared to the large loss we recognized during the same period of 2019.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Overview

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, and in each fiscal year since our inception, we have incurred net losses which have resulted in an accumulated deficit of $349.3 million as of March 31, 2020. Additionally, our operations have historically used more cash than they have provided. Net cash used in continuing operating activities was $2.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020. As of March 31, 2020, our cash and cash equivalents balance was $1.6 million, and we had a negative working capital balance of $28.8 million.

As of March 31, 2020, we were a party to the Financing Agreement, pursuant to which the Lenders extended credit to the Borrowers in the aggregate amount of $11.9 million of principal and accrued interest outstanding as of March 31, 2020 (the “Loan”). Additionally, as of March 31, 2020, the Loan bore interest at three-month LIBOR (with a floor of 2%) plus 11% per annum, payable monthly, and had a maturity date of May 15, 2020. The material terms of the Financing Agreement, the amendments thereto, and related documents effective as of March 31, 2020 are described in Note 12 in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Financing Agreement contained certain affirmative and negative covenants. As of March 31, 2020, we were not in compliance with certain of such covenants under the Financing Agreement, including a covenant requiring us to obtain and pay for a tail directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy (the “Tail Policy”) by June 4, 2019 in connection with the VDC Transaction, and a covenant requiring us to make the final Earnout Payment by June 14, 2019. Additionally, although we have actively taken steps to monetize our ownership interest in Sharecare, we did not comply with certain procedural requirements set forth in the Financing Agreement with respect to such sale process. Our non-compliance with such covenants constituted events of default under the Financing Agreement. In addition, in June 2019, the Lenders paid the $1.1 million of premium under the Tail Policy on our behalf and such amount was added to the amount of principal due under the Financing Agreement.

On March 16, 2020, we received a notice of acceleration from MGG, in which MGG declared that the entire unpaid principal of and any accrued and unpaid interest on the Loan, and all fees and other amounts payable under the Financing Agreement, was immediately due and payable and demanded that all such amounts be paid immediately to MGG.

On May 28, 2020, we repaid in full all outstanding obligations under, and terminated, the Financing Agreement in an amount equal to approximately $12.7 million.

On April 12, 2017, we issued a short-term note payable in the principal amount of $3.0 million to a private lender in exchange for cash in the same amount. The agreement, which does not have a stated interest rate, required us to repay the note plus a fee of $115 thousand on the maturity date of June 30, 2017. The note is accruing interest at $500 per day on the unpaid principal until we repay the note in full. As of March 31, 2020, we owed $3.3 million in principal and accrued interest on such note.

Pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement we entered into in connection with our acquisition of Vegas.com in 2015, we were obligated to make an Earnout Payment of $1.0 million based upon the performance of Vegas.com in the year ended December 31, 2018, but we have not yet made such payment.

On March 3, 2020, we entered into the 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement with Aspire Capital, which provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth therein, we have the right to direct Aspire Capital to purchase up to an aggregate of $30.0 million of shares of our common stock over the 30-month term of the 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement. The 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement replaced the 2019 Aspire Purchase Agreement, which terminated under the terms of the 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement. We issued 2,374,545 shares of our common stock to Aspire Capital upon commencement of the 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement. Purchases under the 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement, which is described in more detail in Note 14 in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, are made at prices calculated in accordance with the terms of the 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement at the time of our submission to Aspire Capital of a purchase notice specifying such number of shares to be purchased, subject to maximum dollar and share amounts for sales on any one date unless the parties mutually agree otherwise.

Our history of recurring operating losses, working capital deficiencies and negative cash flows from operating activities, in conjunction with the ongoing events of default under the Financing Agreement, give rise to substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.

We intend to fund our future operations and meet our financial obligations through revenue growth in our Technology and Data Intelligence segment, as well as through sales of our thermal-imaging products. We cannot, however, provide assurance that revenue, income and cash flows generated from our businesses will be sufficient to sustain our operations in the twelve months following the filing of this Form 10-Q. As a result, we are actively evaluating strategic alternatives including equity financings and potential sales of investment assets or operating businesses.

Conditions in the debt and equity markets, as well as the volatility of investor sentiment regarding macroeconomic and microeconomic conditions (in particular, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic), will play primary roles in determining whether we can successfully obtain additional capital. We cannot be certain that we will be successful at raising additional capital.

A variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control, affect our cash flow; those factors include the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, regulatory issues, competition, financial markets and other general business conditions. Based on financial projections, we believe that we will be able to meet our ongoing requirements for at least the next 12 months with existing cash, cash equivalents and cash resources, and based on the probable success of one or more of the following plans:

• develop and grow new product line(s)

• monetize existing assets

• obtain additional capital through equity issuances, including but not limited to equity issuances to Aspire Capital under its existing purchase commitment (which equity issuances may significantly dilute existing stockholders).

However, projections are inherently uncertain and the success of our plans is largely outside of our control. As a result, there is substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern, and we may fully utilize our cash resources prior to July 6, 2021.

Cash Flows - Continuing Operating Activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we used $3.2 million less cash in continuing operating activities than we did during the same period of the prior year. The decrease in cash used in continuing operating activities resulted from a reduction in our business operations as the COVID-19 pandemic took hold, and was also attributable to working capital restraints.

Cash Flows - Continuing Investing Activities

We did not engage in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2020, and the change in investing activities from the comparable period of the prior year was not material.

Cash Flows - Financing Activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we received $4.6 million from sales of shares of our common stock reflecting more activity under our agreements with Aspire Capital, whereas the same period of 2019 included stock sale proceeds of only $2.5 million.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We currently have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information we must disclose in reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. We designed our disclosure controls with the objective of ensuring we accumulate and communicate this information to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operations of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, concluded that, because of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting related to: (i) insufficient documentary evidence that we had reviewed information underlying manual journal entries at a sufficient level of detail, (ii) insufficient documentation of our consideration of appropriate revenue recognition criteria for certain contracts arising from our Technology and Data Intelligence segment, (iii) an aggregation of deficiencies in our monitoring and activity-level controls related to processes in our Technology and Data Intelligence segment including accounts payable, accrued liabilities, payroll and fixed assets, and (iv) failure to retain documentary evidence of all inventory purchases and the insufficient evaluation of the impact of discounted sales transactions on the valuation of our inventory, all of which we described in our 2019 Form 10-K, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at a reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2020.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

In our 2019 Form 10-K, we disclosed that management had determined that material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting (described above) existed. As of the date of this report, we are implementing procedural changes that we believe will remediate the material weaknesses, but not all such changes are complete and those changes that have been implemented have not operated for a sufficient time to be evaluated for their effectiveness; therefore, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during such period that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

CBG Litigation

On February 21, 2018, we initiated a legal proceeding (the “CBG Litigation”) against CBG, Adam Roseman, and CBG’s Joint Official Liquidators (the “JOLs”) arising from the CBG Acquisition. The CBG Litigation was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada and is captioned as Remark Holdings, Inc., et al. v. China Branding Group, Limited (In

Table of Contents 28

Official Liquidation), et al., Case No. 2:18-cv-00322. In the CBG Litigation, we sought a declaration from the court that we are entitled to rescission of the purchase agreement relating to the CBG Acquisition and all transactions related to the CBG Acquisition, a declaration that such purchase agreement and the transactions consummated pursuant thereto be rescinded and void ab initio, a declaration that we are not required to deliver the remaining CBG Acquisition Warrants allowing for the purchase of 5,710,000 shares of common stock at a per-share exercise price of $10.00, an order directing release to us of any consideration held in escrow in connection with the CBG Acquisition, and disgorgement of all consideration paid by us in connection with the CBG Acquisition. We alleged that the defendants fraudulently mispresented and concealed material information regarding the companies we acquired in the CBG Acquisition.

We entered into a settlement agreement with Mr. Roseman to settle all claims against him, and we dismissed those claims on May 13, 2019. We entered into a Stipulation for Settlement dated January 15, 2019 with CBG and the JOLs, which sets forth the binding terms of their settlement agreement (the “Stipulation for Settlement”). Pursuant to the Stipulation for Settlement, we will issue fully-transferable warrants on a non-diluted basis allowing for the purchase of 5,710,000 shares of our common stock at a per-share exercise price of $6.00, which warrants are exercisable for a period of 5 years from the date of the Stipulation for Settlement, and which we have the right to cause the warrant holders to exercise if the closing price of our common stock is $8.00 or greater on any 5 non-consecutive days in any consecutive 30-day trading window. The parties to the Stipulation for Settlement also agreed to negotiate anti-dilution provisions for the warrants. In exchange for the foregoing consideration, the parties to the Stipulation for Settlement agreed to release their claims against each other and enter into a written definitive settlement agreement. After entering into the Stipulation for Settlement, the JOLs demanded the warrants also include an exchange right. We rejected this request and filed a motion to enforce the Stipulation for Settlement on March 12, 2019. The Nevada court issued a report and recommendation on August 2, 2019, which was affirmed on September 24, 2019, requiring the JOLs to submit the written definitive settlement agreement (without an exchange right) to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands overseeing CBG’s liquidation for approval. An application for sanction to enter the settlement agreement was filed with the Grand Court on December 3, 2019. One month later, on or about January 2, 2020, the Grand Court approved the application, authorizing CBG and the JOLs to enter into the settlement. Counsel for the parties are currently finalizing the settlement agreement.

Greenspun Litigation

On May 21, 2019, James B. Gibson, in his capacity as the designated representative of the Amy Greenspun Arenson 2010 Legacy Trust, James Adam Greenspun 2010 Legacy Trust, Moira Greenspun Tarmy 2010 Legacy Trust, Jeffrey Aaron Fine 2010 Legacy Trust, Alyson Fine Marmur 2010 Legacy Trust, Jonathan M. Fine 2010 Legacy Trust, Kathryn A. Fine 2010 Legacy Trust, DRG Holdings, LP, DRG Legacy Limited Partnership, LLP and GC Investments, LLC, filed a Complaint against us in the District Court for Clark County, Nevada alleging that we breached the purchase agreement we entered into in connection with our acquisition of Vegas.com from the plaintiffs in 2015 by failing to make the final earnout payment under such purchase agreement. On July 12, 2019, the Nevada court entered a judgment against us in the total amount of $1,050,000. We are currently in the process of negotiating a settlement with the plaintiffs to resolve this matter.

MGG Litigation

On March 16, 2020, MGG filed a Summons with Notice against us in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, alleging a claim for breach of contract under the Financing Agreement. On June 23, 2020, MGG voluntarily discontinued the legal action against us.

Landlord Litigation

On April 9, 2020, our former landlord, BRE/HC Las Vegas Property Holdings, L.L.C., filed a Complaint against us in the District Court for Clark County, Nevada alleging that we breached the office lease we entered into with the plaintiff for our former office located at 3960 Howard Hughes Parkway by failing to pay rent and other required charges under such lease. The plaintiff is seeking monetary damages in the amount of past due rent and other charges, plus attorneys’ fees and costs and interest and certain declaratory relief. We are currently in the process of negotiating a settlement with the plaintiff to resolve this matter.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The continuing impacts of COVID-19 are highly unpredictable and could be significant, and may have an adverse effect on our business and financial results.

The global outbreak of COVID-19 has impacted our business and could continue to have a significant impact on our business for the duration of 2020 or longer. The impact of the COVID-19 on our business and future financial results could include, but may not be limited to:

• lack of revenue growth or decreases in revenue due to a lack of, or at least a decline in, customer demand and (or) deterioration in the credit quality of our customers;

• a significant increase in our need for external financing to maintain operations as a result of decreased revenue;

• significant decline in the debt and equity markets, thus impacting our ability to conduct financings on terms acceptable to us; and

• the rapid and broad-based shift to a remote working environment creates inherent productivity, connectivity, and oversight challenges. Preventative measures implemented by governmental authorities, such as travel restrictions, shelter-in-place orders and business closures, could significantly impact the ability of our employees and vendors to work productively. Governmental restrictions have been globally inconsistent and it is not clear when a return to worksite locations or travel will be permitted or what restrictions will be in place in those environments. In addition, the changed environment under which we are operating could have an impact on our internal controls over financial reporting as well as our ability to meet a number of our compliance requirements in a timely or quality manner.

The extent of the impact of the pandemic on our business and financial results will depend largely on future developments, including the duration and severity of the outbreak, the length of the travel restrictions and business closures imposed by domestic and foreign governments, the impact on capital and financial markets and the related impact on the financial circumstances of our customers, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. The situation is changing rapidly, and additional impacts may arise that we are not aware of currently.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Not applicable

ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

As of March 31, 2020, we were not in compliance with a covenant requiring us to obtain and pay for the Tail Policy by June 4, 2019, and a covenant requiring us to make the final Earnout Payment by June 14, 2019. Additionally, although we have actively taken steps to monetize our ownership interest in Sharecare, we did not comply with certain procedural requirements stipulated by the Sharecare Covenant. These and other matters described herein constitute events of default under the Financing Agreement for which we have not received a waiver as of the date of this report. On May 28, 2020, we repaid in full all outstanding obligations under, and terminated, the Financing Agreement.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

Organization and Business

Remark Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (“Remark”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), which include its consolidated variable-interest entities (“VIEs”), are primarily technology-focused. Our KanKan data intelligence platform serves as the basis for our development and deployment of artificial-intelligence-based (“AI-based”) solutions for businesses in many industries and geographies. We also own and operate an e-commerce digital media property focused on a luxury beach lifestyle. Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol MARK.

We recognize revenue primarily from sales of AI-based products and services from our KanKan business.

COVID-19

Our unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were impacted by the effects of the global outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus, or COVID-19, as national and local governmental authorities in China and the U.S., where we operate, have placed significant restrictions on travel and other activities within their respective countries, leading to extended business closures. The restrictions and resulting business closures have limited our operational capabilities, which could have a material adverse impact on our business and which have created significant uncertainties, such as the potential adverse effect of the pandemic on the economy, our vendors, our employees and customers and customer sentiment in general.

The extent of the impact of the pandemic on our business and financial results will depend largely on future developments, including the duration and severity of the outbreak, the length of the travel restrictions and business closures imposed by domestic and foreign governments, the impact on capital and financial markets and the related impact on the financial circumstances of our customers, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. The pandemic-related situation is changing rapidly, and additional impacts of which we are not currently aware may arise. We are closely monitoring developments in the U.S. and in China and are continually assessing the potential impact on our business.

To mitigate the potential material negative effects that COVID-19 may have on our business and to do our part to provide customers with the means to limit the spread of COVID-19, we have repurposed and improved our existing urban life cycle solution that we were selling to make schools in China “smart” schools to build a new product line of high-quality, highly-effective thermal imaging solutions that leverage our innovative software to provide customers with the ability to scan crowds and areas of high foot traffic for indications that certain persons may require secondary screening. We have begun sales efforts primarily in the U.S., as well as in other countries, though no revenue was recognized from this new product line during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Going Concern

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, and in each fiscal year since our inception, we have incurred net losses which have resulted in an accumulated deficit of $349.3 million as of March 31, 2020. Additionally, our operations have historically used more cash than they have provided. Net cash used in continuing operating activities was $2.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020. As of March 31, 2020, our cash and cash equivalents balance was $1.6 million, and we had a negative working capital balance of $28.8 million.

On March 3, 2020, we entered into a common stock purchase agreement (the “2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement”) with Aspire Capital Fund, LLC (“Aspire Capital”) which provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth therein, we have the right to direct Aspire Capital to purchase up to an aggregate of $30.0 million of shares of our common stock over the 30-month term of the 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement. The 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement, which we describe in more detail in Note 14, terminated and replaced the common stock purchase agreement we had entered into with Aspire Capital on March 29, 2019 (the “2019 Aspire Purchase Agreement”).

Concurrently with entering into the 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement, we also entered into a registration rights agreement with Aspire Capital, in which we agreed to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) one or more

registration statements, as necessary, and to the extent permissible and subject to certain exceptions, to register under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the sale of the shares of our common stock that may be issued to Aspire Capital under the 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement. We have filed with the SEC a prospectus supplement to our effective shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-225448) registering all of the shares of common stock that may be offered to Aspire Capital from time to time under the 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement.

As of March 31, 2020, we have issued to Aspire Capital a total of 11,007,726 shares of our common stock under the 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we issued a total of 15,018,729 shares of our common stock to Aspire Capital under the 2019 Aspire Purchase Agreement and the 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement in exchange for approximately $4.6 million plus Aspire Capital’s commitment to participate in the 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement.

We are a party to a financing agreement dated as of September 24, 2015 (as amended, the “Financing Agreement”) with certain of our subsidiaries as borrowers (together with Remark, the “Borrowers”), certain of our subsidiaries as guarantors (the “Guarantors”), the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”) and MGG Investment Group LP (“MGG”), in its capacity as collateral agent and administrative agent for the Lenders, pursuant to which the Lenders extended credit to the Borrowers consisting of a term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $35.5 million (the “Loan”). The terms of the Financing Agreement, the amendments thereto, and related documents effective as of March 31, 2020 are described in Note 12, which also describes our ongoing events of default relating to our failure to make certain required payments under the Financing Agreement as well as certain other ongoing events of default.

Our history of recurring operating losses, working capital deficiencies and negative cash flows from operating activities, in conjunction with the ongoing events of default under the Financing Agreement, give rise to substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.

We intend to fund our future operations and meet our financial obligations through revenue growth in our Technology and Data Intelligence segment, as well as through sales of our thermal-imaging products. We cannot, however, provide assurance that revenue, income and cash flows generated from our businesses will be sufficient to sustain our operations in the twelve months following the filing of this Form 10-Q. As a result, we are actively evaluating strategic alternatives including equity financings and potential sales of investment assets or operating businesses.

Conditions in the debt and equity markets, as well as the volatility of investor sentiment regarding macroeconomic and microeconomic conditions (in particular, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic), will play primary roles in determining whether we can successfully obtain additional capital. We cannot be certain that we will be successful at raising additional capital.

A variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control, affect our cash flow; those factors include the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, regulatory issues, competition, financial markets and other general business conditions. Based on financial projections, we believe that we will be able to meet our ongoing requirements for at least the next 12 months with existing cash, cash equivalents and cash resources, and based on the probable success of one or more of the following plans:

• develop and grow new product line(s)

• monetize existing assets

• obtain additional capital through equity issuances, including but not limited to equity issuances to Aspire Capital under its existing purchase commitment (which equity issuances may significantly dilute existing stockholders).

However, projections are inherently uncertain and the success of our plans is largely outside of our control. As a result, there is substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern, and we may fully utilize our cash resources prior to July 6, 2021.

Comparability

For the quarter ended March 31, 2019, we have adjusted the presentation of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss as well as for the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows to reflect the operations of our former Travel and Entertainment segment as discontinued, so that such presentation is consistent with the 2020 presentation.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

We prepared the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2020, with the audited Consolidated Balance Sheet amounts as of December 31, 2019 presented for comparative purposes, and the related unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Deficit in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q. In compliance with those instructions, we have omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), though management believes the disclosures made herein are sufficient to ensure that the information presented is not misleading.

Our results of operations and our cash flows as of the end of the interim periods reported herein do not necessarily indicate the results we may experience for the remainder of the year or for any other future period.

Management believes that we have included all adjustments (including those of a normal, recurring nature) considered necessary to fairly present our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Stockholders’ Deficit, each as of March 31, 2020, as well as our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for all periods presented. You should read our unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and footnotes in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and footnotes included within the Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “2019 Form 10-K”).

Consolidation

We include all of our subsidiaries, which include the variable-interest entities (“VIEs”) for which we are the primary beneficiary, in our condensed consolidated financial statements, eliminating all significant intercompany balances and transactions during consolidation.

To comply with China’s laws which restrict foreign ownership of entities that operate within industries deemed sensitive by the Chinese government, we employ what we believe is a commonly-used organizational structure consisting of a wholly-foreign owned enterprise (“WFOE”) and the VIEs to operate our KanKan business. We own 100% of the equity of the WFOE, while the VIEs are companies formed in China under local laws which are owned by members of our management team. We funded the registered capital and operating expenses of the VIEs by extending loans to the VIEs’ owners. We are the primary beneficiary of the VIEs because the relationships between the VIEs and our WFOE are governed by contractual agreements, including in each case an Exclusive Call Option Agreement, an Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement, a Proxy Agreement and an Equity Pledge Agreement, which give us control over the operations of the VIEs.

We use the fair value method to account for equity investments in which we cannot exercise significant influence over the investee, such as with our investment in Sharecare, Inc. (“Sharecare”). With regard to our investment in Sharecare, GAAP allows us to continue to carry our investment at cost less impairment until such time as an observable price change in the underlying security occurs. Any gains or losses resulting from a change in fair value are recorded to the statement of operations. We use the equity method for equity investments in which we can exercise significant influence over the investee, such as our investment in Beijing All-in-one Cloud Net Technology, Co. Ltd. (“AIO”) (see Note 6 for information on our investments in unconsolidated affiliates).

Use of Estimates

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. While preparing our financial statements, we make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to accounts receivable, intangible assets, the useful lives of property and equipment, stock-based compensation, the fair value of the warrant liability, income taxes, inventory reserve and purchase price allocation, among other items.

As of March 31, 2020, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to unfold. As a result, many of our estimates and assumptions required increased judgment and carry a higher degree of variability and volatility. As events continue to evolve and additional information becomes available, our estimates may change materially in future periods.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

We have reviewed all recently issued accounting pronouncements. The pronouncements that we have already adopted, did not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or reporting thereof, we do not believe that any of the pronouncements that we have not yet adopted will have a material effect upon our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or reporting thereof.

NOTE 3. REVENUE

We are not required to include disclosures related to remaining performance obligations because substantially all of our contracts with customers have an original expected duration of one year or less.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The following table presents a disaggregation of our revenue by major category (in thousands):

Significant Judgments

When accounting for revenue we make certain judgments, such as whether we act as a principal or as an agent in transactions or whether our contracts with customers fall within the scope of current GAAP regarding revenue, that affect the determination of the amount and timing of our revenue from contracts with customers. Based on the current facts and circumstances related to our contracts with customers, none of the judgments we make involve an elevated degree of qualitative significance or complexity such that further disclosure is warranted in terms of their potential impact on the amount and timing of our revenue.

Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities

We do not currently generate material contract assets. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, our contract liability changed only as a result of routine business activity.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we did not recognize material amounts of revenue which were included in the beginning balance of Contract liability at January 1, 2020, while we recognized $0.1 million of revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2019 which was included in the beginning balance of Contract liability at January 1, 2019.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, we did not recognize revenue from performance obligations within the scope of ASC 606 that were satisfied in previous periods.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

NOTE 4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Liabilities Related to Warrants to Purchase Common Stock

At the end of each reporting period, we use the Monte Carlo Simulation model to estimate and report the fair value of liabilities related to certain outstanding warrants to purchase common stock. As of March 31, 2020, our outstanding liability-classified warrants include the warrants we issued or that we are obligated to issue as part of the consideration for our acquisition (the “CBG Acquisition”) of assets of China Branding Group Limited (“CBG”) in September 2016 (the “CBG Acquisition Warrants”) and warrants we issued as a result of an amendment to the Financing Agreement related to the acquisition (the “CBG Financing Warrants”).

The following table presents the quantitative inputs, which we classify in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, used in estimating the fair value of the warrants:

	March 31,		December 31,
	2020		2019
CBG Financing Warrants
Expected volatility	85.00	%	85.00	%
Risk-free interest rate	0.33	%	1.60	%
Expected remaining term (years)	0.48		0.73
CBG Acquisition Warrants
Expected volatility	75.00	%	75.00	%
Risk-free interest rate	0.52	%	1.65	%
Expected remaining term (years)	3.48		3.72

In addition to the quantitative assumptions above, we also consider whether we would issue additional equity and, if so, the price per share of such equity. At March 31, 2020, we estimated that one future equity financing event would potentially occur within the subsequent twelve months.

Our estimate of expected volatility and our stock price tend to have the most significant impact on the estimated fair value of the CBG Financing Warrants and the CBG Acquisition Warrants. We determined that, for the three months ended March 31, 2020, adding or subtracting five percentage points with regard to our estimate of expected volatility, or increases or decreases in our stock price of five percent, would not have resulted in changes to our estimates of fair value, except as follows:

	Increase	Decrease
Change in volatility
CBG Acquisition Warrants	—	58

The following table presents the change in the liability balance associated with our liability-classified warrants (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,			Year Ended December 31,
	2020			2019
Balance at beginning of period	$	115		$	1,383
Decrease in fair value	(57		)	(1,268		)
Balance at end of period	$	58		$	115

Contingent Consideration Issued in Business Acquisition

We used the discounted cash flow valuation technique to estimate the fair value of the liability related to certain cash payments stipulated in our acquisition of Vegas.com, LLC (“Vegas.com”) in September 2015 that were contingent upon the performance of Vegas.com in the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017, and 2018 (the “Earnout Payments”). The significant unobservable inputs that we used, which we classify in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, were projected earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), the probability of achieving certain amounts of EBITDA, and the rate used to discount the liability.

The following table presents the change during the three months ended March 31, 2020 in the balance of the liability associated with the Earnout Payments (in thousands):

Balance at beginning of period	$	1,086
Interest accrued on unpaid balance	17
Balance at end of period	$	1,103

On the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, we included the liability for contingent consideration as a component of Accrued expense and other current liabilities.

NOTE 6. INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES

In 2009, we co-founded a U.S.-based venture, Sharecare, to build a web-based platform that simplifies the search for health and wellness information. The other co-founders of Sharecare were Dr. Mehmet Oz, HARPO Productions, Discovery Communications, Jeff Arnold and Sony Pictures Television. As of March 31, 2020, we owned approximately 4.6% of Sharecare’s issued stock and maintained representation on its Board of Directors.

During June 2018, one of our consolidated VIEs acquired a 20% interest in AIO, a Chinese technology company which provides consulting and data services to the Chinese film industry, in exchange for $1.0 million, a portion of which was paid as of March 31, 2020, and a license to use our proprietary KanKan data intelligence platform in China. Based on our evaluation of the facts and circumstances related to the transaction, we determined that we will account for such transaction using the equity method of accounting. We recognize our equity in the net earnings or losses relating to AIO on a one-quarter reporting lag in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the amount of our equity in AIO’s net earnings for their quarter ended December 31, 2019 was not material.

Significant Judgments

When accounting for our leases, we make certain judgments, such as whether a contract contains a lease or what discount rate to use, that affect the determination of the amount of our lease assets and liabilities. Based on the current facts and circumstances related to our contracts, none of the judgments we make involve an elevated degree of qualitative significance or complexity such that further disclosure is warranted.

NOTE 11. INCOME TAX

Our effective tax rate (“ETR”) from continuing operations was 0.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The quarterly ETR has not significantly differed from our historical annual ETR because we continue to maintain a full valuation allowance against our existing deferred tax assets.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many governments have enacted or are contemplating measures to provide aid and economic stimulus. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), which was enacted on March 27, 2020 in the U.S., includes measures to assist companies, including temporary change to income and non-income-based tax laws. As of March 31, 2020, we do not currently expect the provisions of the CARES Act to have a material effect on current income tax expense or the realizability of deferred income tax assets. We will monitor additional guidance and impact that the CARES Act and other potential legislation may have on our income taxes

NOTE 12. DEBT

Short-Term Debt

On April 12, 2017, we issued a short-term note payable in the principal amount of $3.0 million to a private lender in exchange for cash in the same amount. The agreement, which does not have a stated interest rate, required us to repay the note plus a fee of $115 thousand on the maturity date of June 30, 2017. The note is accruing interest at $500 per day on the unpaid principal until we repay the note in full. As of March 31, 2020, we owe $3.3 million in principal and accrued interest.

Other Debt

The following table presents debt (in thousands) as of:

	March 31, 2020		December 31, 2019
Loan due May 2020	$	11,931	$	12,025

On September 24, 2015, we entered into the Financing Agreement, pursuant to which the Lenders provided us with the $27.5 million Loan. We entered into Amendment No. 1 to Financing Agreement on September 20, 2016 which, among other changes, increased the Loan by $8.0 million to a total aggregate principal amount of $35.5 million. As of March 31, 2020, after amendments and other events described below, the Loan bore interest at three-month LIBOR (with a floor of 2%) plus 11% per annum, payable monthly, and had a maturity date of May 15, 2020. As of March 31, 2020, the applicable interest rate on the Loan was approximately 13% per annum.

In connection with the Financing Agreement, we also entered into a security agreement dated as of September 24, 2015 (the “Security Agreement”) with the other Borrowers and the Guarantors for the benefit of MGG, as collateral agent for the Secured Parties referred to therein, to secure the obligations of the Borrowers and the Guarantors under the Financing Agreement. The Security Agreement provided for a first-priority lien on, and security interest in, all assets of Remark and our subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions.

On April 30, 2018, we entered into Amendment No. 4 and Waiver to Financing Agreement (the “Fourth Financing Amendment”), which provided for, among other things, (i) a reduction in the interest rate on the remaining amount outstanding under the Financing Agreement to three-month LIBOR plus 8.5% per annum, (ii) an extension of the maturity date under the Financing Agreement to September 30, 2020, (iii) a modification of certain of our covenants under the Financing Agreement, including covenants regarding capital expenditures, minimum value of certain of our assets, consolidated EBITDA of Vegas.com and its subsidiaries, and revenue generated by KanKan, (iv) an increase in the amount we are permitted to invest in our non-U.S. subsidiaries operating our KanKan business, (v) a waiver by the Lenders of certain events of default under the Financing Agreement, and (vi) prepayment by the Borrowers of $8.0 million principal amount outstanding and $3.5 million of exit fees under the Financing Agreement within 60 days following the date of the Fourth Financing Amendment. In consideration for the Lenders’ entry into the Fourth Financing Amendment, we also paid a closing fee of approximately $413 thousand.

Effective as of June 29, 2018, we entered into Amendment No. 5 and Waiver to Financing Agreement (the “Fifth Financing Amendment”) pursuant to which the Lenders agreed, among other things, to extend the due date of the prepayments required by the Fourth Financing Amendment for up to three months, provided that we made extension payments on the first business day of each such month. The extension payments were $250,000 for each of the first two months and $500,000 for the third month, with the final extension period ending on September 28, 2018. We made the extension payments required by the Fifth Financing Amendment to extend the due date of the prepayments required by the Fourth Financing Amendment to September 28, 2018; however, we failed to prepay the $8.0 million principal amount and $3.5 million of exit fees due on such date. Such failure to make the required payments constituted an event of default under the Financing Agreement and as a result, from September 28, 2018, the Loan bore interest at three-month LIBOR plus 11.0%, the default interest rate.

On May 15, 2019, we completed the sale of all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Vegas.com, LLC (the “VDC Transaction”) and used the cash proceeds of $30 million to pay amounts due under the Financing Agreement, of which approximately $10 million remained outstanding after giving effect to the application of such cash proceeds. On the same date, in connection with the closing of the VDC Transaction, we entered into Amendment No. 6 and Waiver to Financing Agreement (the “Sixth Financing Amendment”), pursuant to which, among other things, (i) the Lenders waived all events of default under the Financing Agreement existing as of the date of the Sixth Financing Amendment, (ii) MGG released any and all liens in the equity interests of Vegas.com and its subsidiaries and their assets and properties, (iii) the Borrowers could add the amount of any accrued and unpaid interest to the outstanding principal amount of the Loan, (iv) the remaining principal amount outstanding under the Financing Agreement accrued interest at a rate equal to the three-month LIBOR (with a floor of 2%) plus 8.5% per annum, (v) the continuing Loan had a maturity date of May 15, 2020, (vi) covenants with respect to capital

expenditures and revenue generated by our KanKan business were eliminated and covenants regarding the minimum value of certain of our assets, our minimum liquidity and the amount we were permitted to invest in our non-U.S. subsidiaries were modified, and (vii) we were required to commence a sale process with respect to our equity in Sharecare within five business days of the effective date of the Sixth Financing Amendment, and to use the net cash proceeds of such sale to pay in full our outstanding obligations under the Financing Agreement the (“Sharecare Covenant”).

The Financing Agreement contained certain affirmative and negative covenants. As of March 31, 2020, we were not in compliance with certain of such covenants under the Financing Agreement, including a covenant requiring us to obtain and pay for a tail directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy (the “Tail Policy”) by June 4, 2019 in connection with the VDC Transaction, and a covenant requiring us to make the final Earnout Payment by June 14, 2019. Additionally, although we have actively taken steps to monetize our ownership interest in Sharecare, we did not comply with certain procedural requirements stipulated by the Sharecare Covenant. Our non-compliance with such covenants constituted events of default under the Financing Agreement. In addition, in June 2019, the Lenders paid the $1.1 million of premium under the Tail Policy on our behalf and such amount was added to the amount of principal due under the Financing Agreement. See Note 13 for further discussion of Lendor actions.

NOTE 13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

At March 31, 2020, we had no material commitments outside the normal course of business.

Contingencies

As of March 31, 2020, we were neither a defendant in any material pending legal proceeding nor are we aware of any material threatened claims against us and, therefore, we have not accrued any contingent liabilities, except as described below.

Earnout Payment

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we have accrued approximately $1.1 million related to the Earnout Payment related to our acquisition of Vegas.com. See Note 4 for more information regarding the Earnout Payment.

Termination of Lease and Related Landlord Actions

Since approximately July 2019, we have not been able to pay our obligations under the office lease for our former office located at 3960 Howard Hughes Parkway. On March 5, 2020, the landlord exercised its right to terminate the lease as of such date as a result of the ongoing payment default.

On April 9, 2020, the landlord filed suit against us in Nevada to recover the approximately $1.1 million of rent owed through March 5, 2020, plus damages resulting from the early termination of the lease. Based on calculations stipulated by the lease, we estimated the increase to rent expense and to the current portion of our operating lease liability, net of security deposit of $0.3 million, was approximately $1.5 million as of March 31, 2020; this amount is subject to change based upon future events.

We have leased new office space under a lease that is not material to our consolidated financial statements.

Lender Actions and Repayment of Debt

On January 8, 2020, we received a notice from MGG that, as a result of certain continuing defaults under the Financing Agreement, the Lenders had exercised their right under the Financing Agreement to replace the single-member board of directors of our wholly-owned subsidiary that holds our investment (described in Note 6) in Sharecare with a person of their choosing.

On March 16, 2020, we received a notice of acceleration from MGG, in which MGG declared that the entire unpaid principal of and any accrued and unpaid interest on the Loan, and all fees and other amounts payable under the Financing Agreement, are immediately due and payable and demanded that all such amounts be paid immediately to MGG.

On March 16, 2020, MGG filed a Summons with Notice against us in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, alleging a claim for breach of contract under the Financing Agreement.

On May 28, 2020, we repaid in full all outstanding obligations under, and terminated, the Financing Agreement. As a result, we believe that there are no grounds for MGG’s lawsuit against us to continue. On the same date, and concurrently with repaying all outstanding obligations under the Financing Agreement, we agreed to reduce by $0.30 per share the exercise price of the CBG Financing Warrants to purchase 6,601,558 shares of our common stock.

On June 23, 2020, MGG voluntarily discontinued the legal action against us in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York.

Under the 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement, on any trading day selected by us over the 30-month term of the 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement, we have the right, in our sole discretion, to present Aspire Capital with a purchase notice (each, a “Purchase Notice”) directing Aspire Capital to purchase up to 250,000 shares of our common stock per trading day, up to an aggregate of $30.0 million of our common stock, at a per share price equal to the lesser of (i) the lowest sale price of our common stock on the purchase date or (ii) the arithmetic average of the three lowest closing sale prices for our common stock during the 10 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately preceding the purchase date.

The aggregate purchase price payable by Aspire Capital on any one purchase date may not exceed $500,000, unless otherwise mutually agreed. The parties may mutually agree to increase the number of shares of our common stock that may be purchased per trading day pursuant to the terms of the 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement to an additional 2,000,000 shares.

In addition, on any trading day on which we submit a Purchase Notice to Aspire Capital to purchase at least 250,000 shares, we also have the right, in our sole discretion, to present Aspire Capital with a volume-weighted average price purchase notice (each, a “VWAP Purchase Notice”) directing Aspire Capital to purchase an amount of our common stock equal to up to 30% of the aggregate shares of our common stock traded on the next trading day (the “VWAP Purchase Date”), subject to a maximum number of shares we may determine, and a minimum purchase price threshold equal to the greater of (i) 80% of the closing price of our common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the VWAP Purchase Date or (ii) a higher price that may be determined by us. The purchase price per share pursuant to such VWAP Purchase Notice will be equal to the lesser of (i) the closing sale price of our common stock on the VWAP Purchase Date, or (ii) 97% of the volume-weighted average price for our common stock traded on its principal market on the VWAP Purchase Date.

We may deliver multiple Purchase Notices and VWAP Purchase Notices to Aspire Capital from time to time during the term of the 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement, so long as the most recent purchase has been completed.

In addition, Aspire Capital will not be required to buy any shares of our common stock pursuant to a Purchase Notice on any trading day on which the closing trade price of our common stock is below $0.25. There are no trading volume requirements or restrictions under the 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement, and we will control the timing and amount of sales of our common stock to Aspire Capital. Aspire Capital has no right to require any sales by us, but is obligated to make purchases from us as directed by us in accordance with the 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement. There are no limitations on use of proceeds, financial or business covenants, restrictions on future fundings, rights of first refusal, participation rights, penalties or liquidated damages in the 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement. The 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement may be terminated by us at any time, at our discretion, without any cost to us. Aspire Capital has agreed that neither it nor any of its agents, representatives and

affiliates will engage in any direct or indirect short-selling or hedging our common stock during any time prior to the termination of the 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement.

The 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement provides that the total number of shares that may be issued pursuant to such agreement is limited to 11,007,726 shares (the “Exchange Cap”), or 19.99% of our shares of common stock outstanding as of the date of the 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement, unless stockholder approval is obtained in accordance with the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market. If stockholder approval is not obtained, such limitation will not apply after the Exchange Cap is reached if at all times thereafter the average purchase price paid for all shares issued under the 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement is equal to or greater than $0.4879 per share. The 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement also provides that at no time will Aspire Capital (together with its affiliates) beneficially own more than 19.99% of our outstanding shares of common stock. See Note 18 for details regarding and amendment of the 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement.

As of March 31, 2020, we have issued to Aspire Capital a total of 11,007,726 shares of our common stock under the 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we issued a total of 15,018,729 shares of our common stock to Aspire Capital under the 2019 Aspire Purchase Agreement and the 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement in exchange for $4.6 million plus Aspire Capital’s commitment to participate in the 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement.

Stock-Based Compensation 

We are authorized to issue equity-based awards under our 2010 Equity Incentive Plan, our 2014 Incentive Plan, and our 2017 Incentive Plan, each of which our stockholders have approved. We also award cash bonuses (“China Cash Bonuses”) to our employees in China, which grants are not subject to a formal incentive plan and which can only be settled in cash. We grant such awards to attract, retain and motivate eligible officers, directors, employees and consultants. Under each of the plans, we have granted shares of restricted stock and options to purchase common stock to our officers and employees with exercise prices equal to or greater than the fair value of the underlying shares on the grant date.

Stock options and China Cash Bonuses generally expire 10 years from the grant date. All forms of equity awards and China Cash Bonuses vest upon the passage of time, the attainment of performance criteria, or both. When participants exercise stock options, we issue any shares of our common stock resulting from such exercise from new authorized and unallocated shares available at the time of exercise.

The following table summarizes activity under our equity incentive plans related to equity-classified stock option grants as of March 31, 2020, and changes during the three months then ended:

Net Loss per Share 

For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, there were no reconciling items related to either the numerator or denominator of the loss per share calculation.

Securities which would have been anti-dilutive to a calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 include the outstanding stock options described above; the outstanding CBG Acquisition Warrant, which may be exercised to purchase 40,000 shares of our common stock at a per-share exercise price of $10.00 (we are also committed to the future issuance of additional CBG Acquisition Warrants at the same per-share exercise price as the CBG Acquisition Warrant that has already been issued); and the outstanding CBG Financing Warrants, which may be exercised to purchase 4,896,313 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share.

SEGMENT INFORMATION

NOTE 16. SEGMENT INFORMATION

As a result of our disposal of the previously-reported Travel and Entertainment segment, we currently report one segment: our Technology & Data Intelligence segment, which provides services to our customers based upon the data collected and processed by our proprietary data intelligence software.

Our chief operating decision maker uses Adjusted EBITDA as the primary measure of profitability for evaluating the operational performance of our reportable segment. Adjusted EBITDA represents operating income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization expense, share-based compensation expense, impairments and net other income, less other loss. We do not allocate certain types of shared expense, such as legal and accounting, to our reportable segment; such costs are included in Corporate Entity and Other.

The following table presents certain financial information regarding our reportable segment and other entities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands):

Subsequent Events [Abstract]

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

NOTE 18. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Sales of Common Stock to Aspire Capital

In a series of transactions between March 25, 2020 and May 12, 2020, we sold 41,853,345 shares of our common stock to Aspire Capital under the 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement in exchange for $30.0 million.

Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation authorizes us to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of our common stock, of which 99,408,916 shares were outstanding as of July 3, 2020. In addition, as of July 3, 2020, we had outstanding stock options allowing for the purchase of as many as approximately 10.3 million shares of common stock and we had outstanding warrants to purchase 6,641,558 shares of common stock. If all of our outstanding stock options and warrants were exercised, the total number of shares of our common stock that we would be required to issue would greatly exceed the number of our remaining authorized but unissued shares of common stock.

As a result of such potential shortfall in the number of our authorized shares of common stock, we will have insufficient shares of common stock available to issue in connection with the exercise of our outstanding stock options and warrants or any future equity financing transaction we may seek to undertake. Accordingly, we intend to seek approval of an increase in the number of our authorized shares of common stock at our 2020 annual meeting of stockholders.

Amendment to Common Stock Purchase Agreement

On April 9, 2020, we entered into a First Amendment to the 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement (the “Aspire Amendment”), which amends the 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement to provide that (i) we may issue up to an additional 13,220,164 shares (the

“New Exchange Cap”), or 19.99% of our shares of common stock outstanding as of the date of the Aspire Amendment, pursuant to the 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement following the effective date of the Aspire Amendment, unless stockholder approval is obtained in accordance with the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market, (ii) if stockholder approval is not obtained, such limitation will not apply after the New Exchange Cap is reached if at all times thereafter the average purchase price paid for all shares issued under the 2020 Aspire Purchase Agreement following the effective date of the Aspire Amendment is equal to or greater than $0.3950 per share, (iii) we have the right, in our sole discretion, to present Aspire Capital with a Purchase Notice directing Aspire Capital to purchase up to 500,000 shares of our common stock per trading day, (iv) the aggregate purchase price payable by Aspire Capital on any one purchase date may not exceed $1,000,000, unless otherwise mutually agreed, (v) on any trading day on which we submit a purchase notice to Aspire Capital to purchase at least 500,000 shares of common stock, we also have the right, in our sole discretion, to present Aspire Capital with a VWAP Purchase Notice directing Aspire Capital to purchase an amount of our common stock equal to up to 30% of the aggregate shares of our common stock traded on the next trading day, (vi) the purchase price per share pursuant to such VWAP Purchase Notice will be equal to the lesser of (A) the closing sale price of our common stock on the VWAP Purchase Date, or (B) 95% of the volume-weighted average price for our common stock traded on its principal market on the VWAP Purchase Date, and (vii) Aspire Capital will not be required to buy any shares of our common stock pursuant to a Purchase Notice on any trading day on which the closing trade price of our common stock is below $0.15.

Landlord Actions

On April 9, 2020, the landlord under the office lease for our former office located at 3960 Howard Hughes Parkway filed suit against us in Nevada to recover the approximately $1.1 million of rent owed plus damages resulting from the early termination of the lease. Based on calculations stipulated by the lease, we estimated the increase to rent expense and to the current portion of our operating lease liability, net of security deposit of $0.3 million, was approximately $1.5 million; this amount is subject to change based upon future events. We recorded such amount during 2019, and we report it as part of the current portion of our operating lease liability within Accrued expense and other current liabilities as of March 31, 2020.

Lender Actions and Repayment of Debt

On May 28, 2020, we repaid in full all outstanding obligations under, and terminated, the Financing Agreement. On the same date, and concurrently with repaying all outstanding obligations under the Financing Agreement, we agreed to reduce by $0.30 per share the exercise price of the CBG Financing Warrants to purchase 6,601,558 shares of our common stock.

On June 23, 2020, MGG voluntarily discontinued the legal action against us in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2020

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Accounting

We prepared the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2020, with the audited Consolidated Balance Sheet amounts as of December 31, 2019 presented for comparative purposes, and the related unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Deficit in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q. In compliance with those instructions, we have omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), though management believes the disclosures made herein are sufficient to ensure that the information presented is not misleading.

Our results of operations and our cash flows as of the end of the interim periods reported herein do not necessarily indicate the results we may experience for the remainder of the year or for any other future period.

Management believes that we have included all adjustments (including those of a normal, recurring nature) considered necessary to fairly present our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Stockholders’ Deficit, each as of March 31, 2020, as well as our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for all periods presented. You should read our unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and footnotes in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and footnotes included within the Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “2019 Form 10-K”).

Consolidation

Consolidation

We include all of our subsidiaries, which include the variable-interest entities (“VIEs”) for which we are the primary beneficiary, in our condensed consolidated financial statements, eliminating all significant intercompany balances and transactions during consolidation.

To comply with China’s laws which restrict foreign ownership of entities that operate within industries deemed sensitive by the Chinese government, we employ what we believe is a commonly-used organizational structure consisting of a wholly-foreign owned enterprise (“WFOE”) and the VIEs to operate our KanKan business. We own 100% of the equity of the WFOE, while the VIEs are companies formed in China under local laws which are owned by members of our management team. We funded the registered capital and operating expenses of the VIEs by extending loans to the VIEs’ owners. We are the primary beneficiary of the VIEs because the relationships between the VIEs and our WFOE are governed by contractual agreements, including in each case an Exclusive Call Option Agreement, an Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement, a Proxy Agreement and an Equity Pledge Agreement, which give us control over the operations of the VIEs.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. While preparing our financial statements, we make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to accounts receivable, intangible assets, the useful lives of property and equipment, stock-based compensation, the fair value of the warrant liability, income taxes, inventory reserve and purchase price allocation, among other items.

As of March 31, 2020, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to unfold. As a result, many of our estimates and assumptions required increased judgment and carry a higher degree of variability and volatility. As events continue to evolve and additional information becomes available, our estimates may change materially in future periods.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

We have reviewed all recently issued accounting pronouncements. The pronouncements that we have already adopted, did not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or reporting thereof, we do not believe that any of the pronouncements that we have not yet adopted will have a material effect upon our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or reporting thereof.
