Special Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Report on Form 10-Q and the documents incorporated herein by reference, as well as other public documents and statements our officers and representatives may make from time to time, contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These statements are therefore entitled to the protection of the safe harbor provisions of these laws. You can find many of these statements by looking for words such as "may," "would," "could," "should," "will," "expect," "anticipate," "predict," "project," "potential," "continue," "contemplate," "seek," "assume," "believe," "intend," "plan," "forecast," "goal," "estimate," or other similar expressions which identify these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and relate to future events or our future financial or operating performance. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, and are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry and business, and on management's beliefs and certain assumptions made by management, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond our control. Accordingly, you are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to assumptions, risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict, and that actual results may be materially different from the results expressed or implied by any of our forward-looking statements.

Actual events or results may differ materially from those contemplated by our forward-looking statements for a variety of reasons, including among others:

the impact that the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, pandemic may have on our business and the industries in which we and our subsidiaries and investee entities operate;
the impact that any litigation or regulatory matters could have on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows;
the possibility that we will be unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operations, raise any required additional capital or borrow additional funds, in the case of capital-raising or borrowing on acceptable terms, to successfully conduct our business or pursue our initiatives in a timely manner or at all;
any increases in the price of importing into the U.S. the types of merchandise we sell in our retail business or other supply chain challenges that limit our access to merchandise we sell in our retail business;
any difficulties we may encounter as a result of our reliance on third-parties that we do not control for the performance of critical functions material to our business;
any strategic transactions, restructurings or other changes we may make to our business;
any downturn in the U.S. housing industry or other changes in U.S. and global economic conditions or U.S. consumer spending, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic or otherwise;
our exposure to cyber security risks, risks of data loss and other security breaches;
any challenges that result in the unavailability of our Website or reduced performance of our transaction systems;
the possibility that we are unable to protect our proprietary technology and to obtain trademark protection for our marks;
current claims of intellectual property infringement to which we are subject and additional infringement claims to which we may become subject in the future;
the commercial, competitive, technical, operational, financial, regulatory, legal, reputational, marketing and other obstacles we face in trying to create a profitable business from our blockchain initiatives, including tZERO;
the extensive regulatory regimes applicable to tZERO and the possibility that various tZERO subsidiaries or ventures do not receive the regulatory approval required to operate their anticipated businesses;
any losses or issues we may encounter as a consequence of accepting or holding bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies;
our inability to attract and retain key personnel;
the possibility that the cost of our current insurance policies may increase significantly or fail to adequately protect us as expected; and
the other risks described in this report or in our other public filings.

In evaluating all forward-looking statements, you should specifically consider the risks outlined above and in this Report, especially under the headings "Special Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements," "Risk Factors," "Legal Proceedings," and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." These factors may cause our actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by any forward-looking statement. Although we believe that our expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee or offer any assurance of future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements or other future events. Our forward-looking statements contained in this report speak only as of the date of this report and, except as required by law, we undertake no




obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this report or any changes in our expectations or any change in any events, conditions or circumstances on which any of our forward-looking statements are based.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
 
1. BASISDESCRIPTION OF PRESENTATIONBUSINESS
 
Overstock.com, Inc. is an online retailer and advanceradvocate of blockchain technology. As used herein, "Overstock," "the Company," "we," "our" and similar terms include Overstock.com, Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise.


2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation

We have prepared the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") have been omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited annual consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in our opinion, necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 20192020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period or the full fiscal year.

In the fourth quarter of 2018, we completed our annual review of our segment reporting and in light of a strategic shift in our Chief Operating Decision Maker's long-term strategic focus for our organization of transitioning our retail business to focus on the retail partner portion of our business which has resulted in the retail direct portion of our business becoming less significant, we no longer consider the split of retail direct and retail partner as a distinct and relevant measure of our business. Accordingly, revenues and cost of goods sold previously recorded in "Direct" and "Partner and Other" are now split between "Retail" and "Other" on the consolidated statements of operations. "Retail" includes retail revenue and costs of goods sold from both "Direct" and "Partner" transactions. Our revenues and costs of goods sold related to our Medici business remains in "Other". In addition, we have recast the prior period revenues and cost of goods sold to conform with current year, presentation. Direct and Partner are no longer considered separate reportable segments in our Business Segment disclosures. In addition, tZERO has been identified as a reportable segment separate from Other due to its operating activities exceeding quantitative thresholds for separate reporting.seasonality and other factors.


For purposes of comparability, we reclassified other certain immaterial amounts in the prior periods presented to conform with the current period presentation.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of consolidation
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our wholly-owned subsidiaries and other subsidiaries forover which we exercise control. All intercompany account balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Included
In February 2020, Medici Land Governance, Inc. ("MLG"), an indirect majority-owned subsidiary, consummated the sale of shares of its common stock to an unrelated third party. Upon completion of the transaction, our indirect ownership in MLG was reduced from 57% to 35% of MLG's issued and outstanding shares of common stock. As a result of our loss of a controlling financial interest in MLG under the voting interest model, we performed an assessment of control under the variable interest entity ("VIE") model and determined MLG does not meet the qualifications of a VIE for purposes of consolidation. Accordingly, we deconsolidated MLG's consolidated net assets and noncontrolling interest from our consolidated financial statements areand results beginning on February 22, 2020, the financial resultsdate that control ceased. The amount of Bitsy, Inc. fromgain recognized on the acquisition datedeconsolidation was $10.7 million, which is included in our consolidated statements of January 1, 2019, Verify Investor, LLC fromoperations in Other income (expense), net. The gain primarily relates to the acquisition dateremeasurement of February 12, 2018,our retained equity interest in MLG at fair value, which was determined based on the same price per share MLG provided for the sale of common stock to the third-party and Mac Warehouse, LLC from the acquisition dateprice per share we received in settling a portion of June 25, 2018.our intercompany debt for additional shares in MLG. Post deconsolidation, MLG became one of our equity method investees for which we perform services. See Note 6—Equity Securities for additional information.
    
Use of estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent liabilities in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, receivables valuation, revenue recognition, Club O and gift card breakage, sales returns, vendor incentive discount offers, inventory valuation, depreciable lives and valuation of property and equipment and internally-developed software, goodwill valuation, intangible asset valuation, equity securities valuation, income taxes, stock-based compensation, performance-based compensation, self-funded health insurance liabilities and contingencies. Our estimates involving, among other items, forecasted revenues, sales volume, pricing, cost and availability of inventory, consumer demand and spending habits, the continued operations of our supply chain and logistics network, and the overall impact of social distancing on our workforce are even more difficult to




estimate as a result of uncertainties associated with the scope and duration of the pandemic and various actions taken by governmental authorities, private business and other third parties in response to the global novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic, the ultimate geographic spread of the virus, the ongoing economic effect of the pandemic and the post-pandemic economic recovery. Although these estimates are based on our best knowledge of current events and actions that we may undertake in the future, the variability of these factors depends on a number of conditions, including uncertainty associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, how long these conditions will persist, what additional measures may be introduced by governments or private parties or what effect any such additional measures may have on our business and thus our accounting estimates may change from period to period. To the extent there are differences between these estimates and actual results, our consolidated financial statements may differbe materially fromaffected.

Income taxes

Each reporting period we assess the recoverability of our deferred tax assets under ASC Topic 740. We assess the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether we will generate sufficient future taxable income to use our existing deferred tax assets. We have limited carryback ability available under the tax law and do not have significant taxable temporary differences to recover our existing deferred tax assets; therefore we must rely on future taxable income, including tax planning strategies, to support their realizability. We have established a valuation allowance for our deferred tax assets not supported by carryback ability or taxable temporary differences, primarily due to our failure to demonstrate sustained profits. We have considered, among other things, the cumulative loss incurred over the three-year period ended June 30, 2020 as a significant piece of objective negative evidence. We intend to continue maintaining a valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets until there is sufficient positive evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion of these estimates.allowances. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable could be adjusted if objective negative evidence in the form of cumulative losses is no longer present and additional weight may be given to subjective evidence such as long-term projections for growth. We will continue to monitor the need for a valuation allowance against our remaining deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis.


Recently adopted accounting standards

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial InstrumentsCredit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which revises how entities account for credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. Topic 326 was subsequently amended by ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial InstrumentsCredit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments and ASU 2019-11, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial InstrumentsCredit Losses. Under the guidance, the measurement of credit losses will be based on a current expected credit losses methodology. We adopted the changes under the new standard on January 1, 2020. We utilized a prospective transition approach for our debt securities for which other-than-temporary impairment had been recognized prior to January 1, 2020. As a result, the amortized cost basis remains the same before and after the effective date of ASU 2016-13. The implementation of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures. We will continue to actively monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on expected credit losses.

Recently issued accounting standards

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes ("Topic 740")Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. For public entities, ASU 2019-12 is required to be adopted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, InvestmentsEquity Securities (Topic 321), InvestmentsEquity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815, which clarifies the interaction of the accounting for equity securities under Topic 321, the accounting for equity method investments in Topic 323, and the accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options in Topic 815. For public entities, ASU 2020-01 is required to be adopted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.










Cash equivalents3. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT


We classify all highly liquid instruments, including instruments with a remaining maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase, as cash equivalents. Cash equivalents were $3.0 million and $3.1 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
Restricted cash
We consider cash that is legally restricted and cash that is held as compensating balances for credit arrangements, surety bonds, and self-funded health insurance as restricted cash.
Fair value ofOur financial instruments

We account for our assets and liabilities usingare initially measured at fair value, which is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). To increase the comparability of fair value measures, the following hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whetherprioritizes the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. These two types of inputs have created the fair-value hierarchy below. This hierarchy requires usmethodologies used to minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to use observable market data, if available, when determiningmeasure fair value.value:


Level 1—Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets; 
Level 2—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and
Level 3—Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
Level 1—Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets; 
Level 2—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and
Level 3—Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.


Our assets and liabilities that are adjusted to fair value on a recurring basis are cash equivalents, certain equity and marketable securities, and deferred compensation liabilities, which fair values are determined using quoted market prices from daily exchange traded markets on the closing price as of the balance sheet date and are classified as Level 1. Our other financial instruments, including cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, finance obligations, and debt are carried at cost, which approximates their fair value. Certain assets, including long-lived assets, certain equity securities, goodwill, cryptocurrencies, and other intangible assets, are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis, but are subject to fair value adjustments using fair value measurements with unobservable inputs (level 3), apart from cryptocurrencies which use quoted prices from various digital currency exchanges with active markets, in certain circumstances (e.g., when there is evidence of impairment).


The following tables summarize our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using the following levels of inputs as of June 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, as indicated (in thousands):

— Trading securities held in a rabbi trust are included in Prepaids and other current assets and Other long-term assets, net in the consolidated balance sheets.




(2)— Non-qualified deferred compensation in a rabbi trust is included in Accrued liabilities and Other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

Accounts receivable, net
Accounts receivable consist primarily of carrier rebates, trade amounts due from customers in the United States, and uncleared credit card transactions at period end. Accounts receivable are recorded at invoiced amounts and do not bear interest. From time to time, we grant credit to some of our business customers on normal credit terms (typically 30 days). We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable based upon our business customers' financial condition and payment history, and our historical collection experience and expected collectability of accounts receivable. The allowance for doubtful accounts receivable was $2.5 million and $2.1 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Concentration of credit risk
One bank held the majority of our cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Our cash equivalents primarily consist of money market securities which are uninsured. We do not believe that, as a result of this concentration, we are subject to any unusual financial risk beyond the normal risk associated with commercial banking relationships.

Inventories, net
Inventories, net include merchandise purchased for resale, which are accounted for using a standard costing system which approximates the first-in-first-out ("FIFO") method of accounting, and are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Inventory valuation requires us to make judgments, based on currently available information, about the likely method of disposition, such as through sales to individual customers, returns to product vendors, or liquidations, and expected recoverable values of each disposition category.
Prepaids and other current assets

Prepaids and other current assets represent expenses paid prior to receipt of the related goods or services, including advertising, license fees, maintenance, packaging, insurance, prepaid inventories, other miscellaneous costs, and cryptocurrency-denominated assets ("cryptocurrencies"). See Cryptocurrencies below.

Cryptocurrencies

We hold cryptocurrency-denominated assets ("cryptocurrencies") such as bitcoin and we include them in Prepaids and other current assets in our consolidated balance sheets. Our cryptocurrencies were $2.3 million and $2.4 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, and are recorded at cost less impairment.

4. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT, NET



We recognize impairment on these assets caused by decreases in market value, determined by taking quoted prices from various digital currency exchanges with active markets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. See Fair value of financial instruments above. Such impairment in the value of our cryptocurrencies is recorded in General and administrative expense in our consolidated statements of operations. Impairments on cryptocurrencies were zero and $318,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. There was $702,000 and $9.5 million impairment on cryptocurrencies during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.

Gains and losses realized upon sale of cryptocurrencies are also recorded in General and administrative expense in our consolidated statements of operations. We occasionally use our cryptocurrencies to purchase other cryptocurrencies. Gains and losses realized with these non-cash transactions are also recorded in General and administrative expense in our consolidated statements of operations. These non-cash transactions as well as gains (losses) from cryptocurrencies received through our tZERO security token offering are also presented as an adjustment to reconcile Net income (loss) to Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities in our consolidated statements of cash flows. Further, the proceeds from the sale of cryptocurrencies received through our tZERO security token offering are presented as a financing activity in our consolidated statements of cash flows due to its near immediate conversion into cash and its economic similarity to the receipt of cash proceeds under the tZERO security token offering. Realized gains on sale of cryptocurrencies were $119,000 and $128,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. There were $6.8 million and $8.3 million realized gains on sale of cryptocurrencies for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.


Property and equipment, net
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and stated net of depreciation and amortization. Upon sale or retirement of assets, cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the balance sheet and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in our consolidated statements of operations.

6. EQUITY SECURITIES

Equity securities under ASC 321


At June 30, 2019, we held minority interests (less than 20%) in certain privately held entities accounted for under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 321, Investments - Equity Securities ("ASC 321"), which are included in Equity securities inCertain of our consolidated balance sheets. One of these equity securities, which had a carrying value of $1.5 million at June 30, 2019, is carried at fair value based on Level 1 inputs. See Fair value of financial instruments above. The remaining equity securities lack readily determinable fair values and therefore the securities are measured at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar equity securities of the same issuer. Dividends received are reported in earnings if and when received. We review our securities individually for impairment by evaluating if events or circumstances have occurred that may indicate the fair value of the investment is less than its carrying value. If such events or circumstances have occurred, we estimate the fair value of the investment and recognize an impairment loss equal to the difference between the fair value of the investment and its carrying value, which are recorded as unrealized gains or losses on our investments in Other income (expense), net on our consolidated statements of operations. In such cases, the estimated fair value of the investment is determined using unobservable inputs including assumptions by the investee's management including quantitative information such as lower valuations in recently completed or proposed financings. These inputs are classified as Level 3. Because several of these private companies are in the early startup or development stages, these entities are subject to potential changes in cash flows and valuation, as well as inability to raise additional capital which may be necessary for the liquidity needed to support their operations.

The carrying amount of our equity securities under ASC 321without readily determinable fair values was approximately $15.1$3.9 million and $20.3$3.9 million at June 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively. Cumulative downward adjustments for price changes and impairments for our equity securities without readily determinable fair values were $6.2 million, and the cumulative upward adjustments for price changes to equity investments were $958,000 as of June 30, 2020. The impairments and downward adjustments for the period related to equity securities without readily determinable fair values at June 30, 2020 and 2019 is as follows (in thousands):

The carrying amount of our equity method securities was approximately $28.6$46.1 million and $40.1$37.3 million at June 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively. The carrying value of our equity method securities exceeded the amount of underlying equity in net assets of our equity method securities and the difference was primarily related to goodwill and the fair value of intangible assets. The basis difference attributable to amortizable intangible assets is amortized over their estimated useful lives. We record our proportionate share of the net income or loss from our equity method securities and the amortization of the basis difference related to intangible assets in Other income (expense), net in our consolidated statements of operations with corresponding adjustments to their carrying value.

At June 30, 2020, we had a $5 million contractual off-balance sheet contingent obligation to provide additional funding in the future to Boston Security Token Exchange LLC ("BSTX") if and when, during the first 48 months after the establishment of the entity, the aggregate cash balance of BSTX's combined bank accounts fall below $2 million for any reason. Subsequent to June 30, 2020, the conditions to fund the obligation were triggered but we have not yet provided the additional funding as of our filing date.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized $2.5 million and $4.1 million, respectively, of revenue in Other Revenue on our consolidated statements of operations for developer and other secondment services provided to certain of these entities that are accounted for under the equity method.

Leases
We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. We account for lease agreements as either operating or finance leases depending on certain defined criteria. Operating leases are recognized in Operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets, Operating lease liabilities, current, and Operating lease liabilities, non-currentOther Revenue on our consolidated balance sheets. Finance leasesstatements of operations for developer and other secondment services provided to certain of these entities that are accounted for under the equity method.

We are party to notes receivable agreements with certain of these equity method entities. The carrying amount of these notes receivables, including accrued interest, was $5.2 million and $4.6 million at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, which are included in Other long-term assets, net Other current liabilities, and Other long-term liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. Lease assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. In certain of our lease agreements, we receive rent holidays and other incentives. We recognize lease costs on a straight-line basis over the lease term without regard to deferred payment terms, such as rent holidays, that defer the commencement date of required payments. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease, and we adjust our measurement of the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease payments used in measurement of the lease liability typically do not include executory costs, such as taxes, insurance, and maintenance, unless those costs can be reasonably estimated at lease commencement. Leasehold improvements are capitalized at cost and amortized over the lesser of their expected useful life or the life of the lease, without assuming renewal features, if any, are exercised. We do not separate lease and non-lease components for our leases.

Treasury stock
We account for treasury stock of our common shares under the cost method and include treasury stock as a component of stockholders' equity.
Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of the net assets acquired in business combinations (see Note 3—Business Combinations for current period activity). Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least annually or when we deem that a triggering event has occurred. When evaluating whether goodwill is impaired, we make a qualitative assessment to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the qualitative assessment determines that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount, we compare the fair value of the reporting unit to which the goodwill is assigned to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the reporting unit, not to exceed the carrying amount of the goodwill. There were no impairments to goodwill recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

The following table provides information about changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the periods presented (in thousands):

Intangible assets other than goodwill

We capitalize and amortize intangible assets other than goodwill over their estimated useful lives unless such lives are indefinite. Intangible assets other than goodwill acquired separately from third-parties are capitalized at cost while such assets acquired as part of a business combination are capitalized at their acquisition-date fair value. Definite lived intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method of amortization over their useful lives, with the exception of certain intangibles (such as acquired technology, customer relationships, and trade names) which are amortized using an accelerated method of amortization based on cash flows. These definite lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable as described below under Impairment of long-lived assets.

Impairment of long-lived assets
We review property and equipment, right-of-use assets, and other long-lived assets, including intangible assets other than goodwill, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. See the Cryptocurrencies section above for our impairment policy over cryptocurrencies. Recoverability is measured by comparison of the assets' carrying amount to future undiscounted net cash flows the asset group is expected to generate. Cash flow forecasts are based on trends of historical performance and management's estimate of future performance, giving consideration to existing and anticipated competitive and economic conditions. If such asset group is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds their fair values. There were no impairments to long-lived assets recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

Other long-term assets, net
Other long-term assets, net consist primarily of long-term prepaid expenses, deposits, and assets acquired under finance leases.

Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized when, or as, control of a promised product or service transfers to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring those products or services. Revenue excludes taxes that have been assessed by governmental authorities and that are directly imposed on revenue-producing transactions between the Company and its customers, including sales and use taxes. Revenue recognition is evaluated through the following five-step process:
1) identification of the contract with a customer;
2) identification of the performance obligations in the contract;
3) determination of the transaction price;
4) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
5) recognition of revenue when or as a performance obligation is satisfied.

Product Revenue
We derive our revenue primarily from our retail business through our Website, but may also derive revenue from sales of merchandise through offline and other channels. Our Retail revenue is derived primarily from merchandise sold at a point in time and shipped to customers. Merchandise sales are fulfilled with inventory sourced through our partners or from our owned inventory, depending on the most efficient means of fulfilling the customer contract. The majority of our sales, however, are fulfilled from inventory sourced through our partners.

Revenue is recognized when control of the product passes to the customer, typically at the date of delivery of the merchandise to the customer or the date a service is provided, and is recognized in an amount that reflects the expected consideration to be received in exchange for such goods or services. As such, customer orders are recorded as deferred revenue prior to delivery of products or services ordered. As we ship high volumes of packages through multiple carriers, it is not practical for us to track the actual delivery date of each shipment. Therefore, we use estimates to determine which shipments are delivered and, therefore, recognized as revenue at the end of the period. Our delivery date estimates are based on average shipping transit times, which are calculated using the following factors: (i) the type of shipping carrier (as carriers have different in-transit times); (ii) the fulfillment source (either our warehouses, those warehouses we control, or those of our partners); (iii) the delivery destination; and (iv) actual transit time experience, which shows that delivery date is typically one to eight business days from the date of shipment. We review and update our estimates on a quarterly basis based on our actual transit time experience. However, actual shipping times may differ from our estimates.

Generally, we require authorization from credit card or other payment vendors whose services we offer to our customers (such as PayPal), or verification of receipt of payment, before we ship products to consumers or business purchasers. From time to time we grant credit to our business purchasers with normal credit terms (typically 30 days). We generally receive payments from our customers before our payments to our suppliers are due. We do not recognize assets associated with costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer.

Shipping and handling is considered a fulfillment activity, as it takes place prior to the customer obtaining control of the merchandise, and fees charged to customers are included in net revenue upon completion of our performance obligation. We present revenue net of sales taxes, discounts, and expected refunds.

Our merchandise sales contracts include terms that could cause variability in the transaction price for items such as discounts, credits, or sales returns. Accordingly, the transaction price for product sales includes estimates of variable consideration to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue recognized will not occur. At the time of sale, we estimate a sales return liability for the variable consideration based on historical experience, which is recorded within Accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. We record an allowance for returns based on current period revenues and historical returns experience. We analyze actual historical returns, current economic trends and changes in order volume and acceptance of our products when evaluating the adequacy of the sales returns allowance in any accounting period.sheets.

We evaluate the criteria outlined in ASC 606-10-55, Principal versus Agent Considerations, in determining whether it is appropriate to record the gross amount of merchandise sales and related costs or the net amount earned as commissions. When we are the principal in a transaction and control the specific good or service before it is transferred to the customer, revenue is recorded gross; otherwise, revenue is recorded on a net basis. Through contractual terms with our partners, we have the ability to control the promised goods or services and as a result record the majority of our retail revenue on a gross basis.

Our Other revenue occurs primarily through our broker dealer subsidiaries in our tZERO segment. We evaluate the revenue recognition criteria above for our broker dealer subsidiaries and we recognize revenue based on the gross amount of consideration that we expect to receive on securities transactions (commission revenue) on a trade date basis.

Club O loyalty program
We have a customer loyalty program called Club O Gold for which we sell annual memberships. For Club O Gold memberships, we record membership fees as deferred revenue and we recognize revenue ratably over the membership period.

The Club O Gold loyalty program allows members to earn Club O Reward dollars for qualifying purchases made on our Website. Customers may redeem Club O Reward dollars on future purchases made through our Website, which conveys a material right to the customer. As such, the initial transaction price giving rise to the reward dollar is allocated to each separate performance obligation based upon its relative standalone selling price. In determining the stand-alone selling price, we incorporate assumptions about the redemption rates of loyalty points. We recognize revenue for Club O Reward dollars when customers redeem such rewards as part of a purchase on our Website.

We record the standalone value of reward dollars earned in deferred revenue at the time the reward dollars are earned. Club O Reward dollars expire 90 days after the customer's Club O Gold membership expires. We recognize estimated reward dollar breakage, to which we expect to be entitled, over the expected redemption period in proportion to actual redemptions by customers. Upon adoption of Topic 606, Revenue Contracts with Customers, on January 1, 2018, we began classifying the breakage income related to Club O Reward dollars and gift cards as a component of Retail revenue in our consolidated statements of operations rather than as a component of Other income (expense), net. Breakage included in revenue was $923,000 and $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 and $2.0 million and $3.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

Our total deferred revenue related to the outstanding Club O Reward dollars was $7.0 million and $6.9 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The timing of revenue recognition of these reward dollars is driven by actual customer activities, such as redemptions and expirations.

Advertising Revenue

Advertising revenues are derived primarily from sponsored links and display advertisements that are placed on our Website, distributed via email, or sent out as direct mailers. Advertising revenue is recognized in Retail revenue when the advertising services are rendered. Advertising revenues were less than 2% of total net revenues for all periods presented.

Revenue Disaggregation

Disaggregation of revenue by major product line is included in Segment Information in Note 12—Business Segments.

Deferred Revenue

When the timing of our provision of goods or services is different from the timing of the payments made by our customers, we recognize a contract liability (customer payment precedes performance).

Customer orders are recorded as deferred revenue prior to delivery of products or services ordered. We record amounts received for Club O Gold membership fees as deferred revenue and we recognize it ratably over the membership period. We record Club O Reward dollars earned from purchases as deferred revenue at the time they are earned based upon the relative standalone selling price of the Club O Reward dollar and we recognize it as Retail revenue in proportion to the estimated pattern of rights exercised by the customer. If reward dollars are not redeemed, we recognize Retail revenue upon expiration. In addition, we sell gift cards and record related deferred revenue at the time of the sale. We sell gift cards without expiration dates and we recognize revenue from a gift card upon redemption of the gift card. For the unredeemed portion of our gift cards and loyalty program rewards, we will recognize Retail revenue over the expected redemption period based upon the estimated pattern of rights exercised by the customer.

Sales returns allowance
We inspect returned items when they arrive at our processing facilities. We refund the full cost of the merchandise returned and all original shipping charges if the returned item is defective or we or our partners have made an error, such as shipping the wrong product. If the return is not a result of a product defect or a fulfillment error and the customer initiates a return of an unopened item within 30 days of delivery, for most products we refund the full cost of the merchandise minus the original shipping charge and actual return shipping fees. However, we reduce refunds for returns initiated more than 30 days after delivery or that are received at our returns processing facility more than 45 days after initial delivery. If our customer returns an item that has been opened or shows signs of wear, we issue a partial refund minus the original shipping charge and actual return shipping fees.
Revenue is recorded net of estimated returns. We record an allowance for returns based on current period revenues and historical returns experience. We analyze actual historical returns, current economic trends and changes in order volume and acceptance of our products when evaluating the adequacy of the sales returns allowance in any accounting period.

Cost of goods sold
Our Retail cost of goods sold includes product costs, warehousing costs, outbound shipping costs, handling and fulfillment costs, customer service costs, and credit card fees, and is recorded in the same period in which related revenues have been recorded. Our Other cost of goods sold primarily consists of exchange fees, clearing agent fees, and other exchange fees from our broker dealer subsidiaries in our tZERO segment. These fees are primarily for executing, processing, and settling trades on exchanges and other venues. These fees fluctuate based on changes in trade and share volumes, rate of clearance fees charged by clearing brokers, and exchanges.

Advertising expense
We expense the costs of producing advertisements the first time the advertising takes place and expense the cost of communicating advertising in the period during which the advertising space or airtime is used. Internet advertising expenses are recognized as incurred based on the terms of the individual agreements, which are generally: 1) a commission for traffic driven to our Website that generates a sale or 2) a referral fee based on the number of clicks on keywords or links to our Website generated during a given period. Advertising expense is included in Sales and marketing expenses and totaled $29.9 million and $88.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, advertising expense totaled $58.4 million and $157.8 million, respectively. Prepaid advertising (included in Prepaids and other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets) was $367,000 and $961,000 at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
Stock-based compensation
We measure compensation expense for all outstanding unvested share-based awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognize compensation expense over the service period for awards at the greater of a straight-line basis or on an accelerated schedule when vesting of the share-based awards exceeds a straight-line basis. When an award is forfeited prior to the vesting date, we recognize an adjustment for the previously recognized expense in the period of the forfeiture. See Note 10—Stock-Based Awards.

Loss contingencies
In the normal course of business, we are involved in legal proceedings and other potential loss contingencies. We accrue a liability for such matters when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. When only a range of probable loss can be estimated, the most probable amount in the range is accrued. If no amount within this range is a better estimate than any other amount within the range, the minimum amount in the range is accrued. We expense legal fees as incurred (see Note 7—Commitments and Contingencies).

Income taxes

Our income tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of our annual effective tax rate adjusted for discrete items, if any, for relevant interim periods. We update our estimate of the annual effective tax rate each quarter and make cumulative adjustments if our estimated annual effective tax rate changes.

Our quarterly tax provision and our quarterly estimate of our annual effective tax rate are subject to significant variations due to several factors including variability in predicting our pre-tax and taxable income and the mix of jurisdictions to which those items relate, relative changes in expenses or losses for which tax benefits are not recognized, how we do business, fluctuations in our stock price, and changes in law, regulations, and administrative practices. Our effective tax rate can be volatile based on the amount of pre-tax income. For example, the impact of discrete items on our effective tax rate is greater when pre-tax income is lower.

Table of Contents




Each quarter we assess the recoverability of our deferred tax assets under ASC Topic 740. We assess the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether we will generate sufficient future taxable income to use our existing deferred tax assets. We have limited carryback ability and do not have significant taxable temporary differences to recover our existing deferred tax assets, therefore we must rely on future taxable income, including tax planning strategies, to support their realizability. We have established a valuation allowance for our deferred tax assets not supported by carryback ability or taxable temporary differences, primarily due to uncertainty regarding our future taxable income. We have considered, among other things, the cumulative loss incurred over the three-year period ended June 30, 2019 as a significant piece of objective negative evidence. We intend to continue maintaining a valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets until there is sufficient evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion of these allowances. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable could be adjusted if objective negative evidence in the form of cumulative losses is no longer present and additional weight may be given to subjective evidence such as long-term projections for growth. We will continue to monitor the need for a valuation allowance against our remaining deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis.

We have indefinitely reinvested foreign earnings of $1.6 million at June 30, 2019. We would need to accrue and pay various taxes on this amount if repatriated. We do not intend to repatriate these earnings.

We are subject to taxation in the United States and several state and foreign jurisdictions. Tax years beginning in 2014 are subject to examination by taxing authorities, although net operating loss and credit carryforwards from all years are subject to examinations and adjustments for at least three years following the year in which the attributes are used. An audit by the Ireland Revenue Agency for the calendar year 2016 was finalized during 2019 with no assessment.

Net loss per share
Our Blockchain Voting Series A Preferred Stock, Voting Series A-1 Preferred Stock, and our Voting Series B Preferred Stock (collectively the "preferred shares") are considered participating securities, and as a result, net loss per share is calculated using the two-class method. Under this method, we give effect to preferred dividends and then allocate remaining net loss attributable to our stockholders to both common shares and participating securities (based on the percentages outstanding) in determining net loss per common share.

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shares (after allocating between common shares and participating securities) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shares (after allocating between common shares and participating securities) by the weighted average number of common and potential common shares outstanding during the period (after allocating total dilutive shares between our common shares outstanding and our preferred shares outstanding). Potential common shares, comprising incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, warrants, and restricted stock awards are included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share to the extent such shares are dilutive. Net loss attributable to common shares is adjusted for options and restricted stock awards issued by our subsidiaries when the effect of our subsidiary's diluted earnings per share is dilutive.

Recently adopted accounting standards

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize operating leases on-balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Topic 842 was subsequently amended by ASU No. 2018-01, Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842; ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases; and ASU No. 2018-11, Targeted Improvements. The new standard establishes a right-of-use model (ROU) that requires a lessee to recognize an ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement.

We adopted the new standard on January 1, 2019. A modified retrospective transition approach is required, applying the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application. An entity may choose to use either (1) its effective date or (2) the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements as its date of initial application. If an entity chooses the second option, the transition requirements for existing leases also apply to leases entered into between the date of initial application and the effective date. The entity must also recast its comparative period financial statements and provide the disclosures required by the new standard for the comparative periods. We adopted the new standard on January 1, 2019 and thus used the effective date as our date of initial application. Consequently, financial information has not been updated and the disclosures required under the new standard are not provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2019. Upon adoption we recognized cumulative operating lease liabilities of approximately $35.1 million and operating right-of-use assets of approximately $31.0 million which were reflected as non-cash items in the consolidated statement of cash flows. The difference of $4.2 million represented deferred rent for leases that existed as of the date of adoption, which was an offset to the opening balance of right-of-use assets.


Table of Contents




The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. We elected the "package of practical expedients", which permits us to not reassess under the new standard our prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs as well as the practical expedient pertaining to land easements. We did not elect the use-of-hindsight practical expedient. The new standard also provides practical expedients for an entity's ongoing accounting. We elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. This means, for those leases that qualify, we did not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities, and this includes not recognizing ROU assets or lease liabilities for existing short-term leases of those assets in transition. We also elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for all of our leases.

The standard had a material effect on our financial statements, primarily related to (1) the recognition of new ROU assets and lease liabilities on our balance sheet for our warehouse, office, data center, and equipment operating leases; and (2) providing significant new disclosures about our leasing activities. The additional operating liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets were recognized based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments under current leasing standards for our existing operating leases, discounted by our incremental borrowing rate for borrowings of a similar duration on a fully secured basis, with corresponding ROU assets of approximately the same amount.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting; which aligns the measurement and classification guidance for share-based payments to nonemployees with the guidance for share-based payments to employees, with certain exceptions. Under the guidance, the measurement of equity-classified nonemployee awards will be fixed at the grant date. We adopted the changes under the new standard on January 1, 2019 on a prospective basis. The implementation of ASU 2017-01 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.


3. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Bitsy, Inc.

Through a series of transactions in 2018, Medici Ventures acquired a 33% equity interest in Bitsy, Inc. ("Bitsy"), a U.S.-based startup company that plans to build a regulatory-compliant bridge between the U.S. Dollar and cryptocurrencies and offer our customers the ability to purchase cryptocurrencies. Bitsy was founded by Steve Hopkins, Medici Ventures' former chief operating officer and general counsel, and current president of tZERO, who held a significant equity interest in Bitsy. On December 21, 2018, tZERO entered into a stock purchase agreement with the owners of Bitsy to acquire the remaining 67% equity interest in Bitsy for $8.0 million with effective control of Bitsy transferring to tZERO effective January 1, 2019. tZERO plans to integrate the software and technology of Bitsy to offer customers a digital wallet service intended to create a bridge between traditional fiat currencies and cryptocurrencies.

In connection with the December 2018 stock purchase agreement, Medici Ventures transferred its 33% equity interest in Bitsy to tZERO for a $4.0 million convertible promissory note due December 31, 2020 and an assignment of certain intellectual property to Medici Ventures.

We estimated the fair value of the acquired assets based on Level 3 inputs, which were unobservable (see Note 2—Accounting Policies, Fair value of financial instruments). These inputs included our estimate of future revenues, operating margins, discount rates, and assumptions about the relative competitive environment. As of March 31, 2019, our determination and allocation of the purchase price to net tangible and intangible assets was based upon preliminary estimates. During the quarter ended June 30, 2019, we received the final valuation information and completed our determination and allocation of the purchase price and recognized adjustments to the provisional values as of June 30, 2019, which decreased Intangible assets by $650,000, increased Deferred tax liabilities by $943,000 and resulted in a corresponding increase to Goodwill of $1.7 million. We recognized an impairment of $1.3 million as a result of remeasuring to fair value our 33% equity interest in Bitsy held before the business combination which was based on Level 3 inputs (see Note 2—Accounting Policies, Fair value of financial instruments). The impairment is included in Other income (expense), net in our consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

The acquired assets, liabilities, and associated operating results were consolidated into our financial statements at the acquisition date. The goodwill recognized arises from expected synergies with our tZERO operations that do not qualify for separate recognition as intangible assets and also the deferred tax liabilities arising from the business combination. None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented because the effects of this acquisition were not material to our consolidated results of operations.

Mac Warehouse, LLC

On June 25, 2018, we acquired 100% of the total equity interests of Mac Warehouse, LLC, an electronics retailer of refurbished Apple products, to complement our retail business. As of December 31, 2018, our determination and allocation of the purchase price to net tangible and intangible assets was based upon preliminary estimates. During the quarter ended March 31, 2019, we received the final valuation information and completed our determination and allocation of the purchase price and recognized adjustments to the provisional values as of March 31, 2019, which decreased the recognized Intangibles assets by $2.8 million, increased Accrued liabilities by $527,000, decreased Deferred tax liabilities by $837,000 and resulted in a corresponding increase to Goodwill of $2.5 million. Additionally, the change to the provisional amount resulted in a decrease in amortization expense and accumulated depreciation of $1.4 million, of which $981,000 relates to the year ended December 31, 2018, and a $459,000 increase in Other Income related to the Accrued Liabilities that were expensed in 2018. We estimated the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities based on Level 3 inputs, which were unobservable (see Note 2—Accounting Policies, Fair value of financial instruments). These inputs included our estimate of future revenues, operating margins, discount rates, royalty rates, and assumptions about the relative competitive environment.

5.8. BORROWINGS


High BenchLoan Core Capital Funding Corporation LLC loan agreements

In March 2020, we entered into two loan agreements with Loan Core Capital Funding Corporation LLC. The loan agreements provide a $34.5 million Senior Credit Agreement

On June 25, 2018, we became party toNote, carrying interest at an annual rate of 4.242%, and a senior credit agreement, as amended, with High Bench-Mac Warehouse-Senior Debt, LLC (the "High Bench Loan"), in connection with our acquisition$13.0 million Mezzanine Note, carrying interest at an annual rate of Mac Warehouse, LLC. Under the amended agreement, at the time of the acquisition, the loan carried an5.002%. The loans carry a blended annual interest rate of 11.0%4.45%.

Legal proceedings and contingencies


From time to time, we are involved in litigation concerning consumer protection, employment, intellectual property, claims under the securities laws, and other commercial matters related to the conduct and operation of our business and the sale of products on our Website. In connection with such litigation, we have been in the past and we may be in the future subject to significant damages. In some instances, other parties may have contractual indemnification obligations to us. However, such contractual obligations may prove unenforceable or non-collectible, and if we cannot enforce or collect on indemnification obligations, we may bear the full responsibility for damages, fees, and costs resulting from such litigation. We may also be subject to penalties and equitable remedies that could force us to alter important business practices. Such litigation could be costly and time consuming and could divert or distract our management and key personnel from our business operations. Due to the uncertainty of litigation and depending on the amount and the timing, an unfavorable resolution of some or all of such matters could materially affect our business, results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

In addition to our traditional equity awards, during the quarter ended March 31, 2019, we granted 502,765 restricted stock awards with a cumulative grant date fair value of $8.6 million which vestvested over a one-year period.


The cost of restricted stock units is determined using the fair value of our common stock on the date of the grant and compensation expense is either recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting schedule or on an accelerated schedule when vesting of restricted stock awards exceeds a straight-line basis. The cumulative amount of compensation expense recognized at any point in time is at least equal to the portion of the grant date fair value of the award that is vested at that date.

12.16. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

Our Series A preferred stock, Series A-1 preferred stock, and Series B preferred stock (collectively, the "preferred shares") are considered participating securities, and as a result, net income (loss) per share is calculated using the two-class method. Under this method, we give effect to preferred dividends and then allocate remaining net income (loss) attributable to our stockholders to both common shares and participating securities (based on the percentages outstanding) in determining net income (loss) per common share.

Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common shares (after allocating between common shares and participating securities) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common shares (after allocating between common shares and participating securities) by the weighted average number of common and potential common shares outstanding during the period (after allocating total dilutive shares between our common shares outstanding and our preferred shares outstanding). Potential common shares, comprising incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, warrants, and restricted stock awards are included in the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per common share to the extent such shares are dilutive. Net income (loss) attributable to common shares is adjusted for options and restricted stock awards issued by our subsidiaries when the effect of our subsidiary's diluted earnings per share is dilutive.

17. BUSINESS SEGMENTS


Segment information has been prepared in accordance with ASC Topic 280 Segment Reporting. As described in Note 1—Basis of Presentation, we have recast our segment information to conform with current year presentation. We determined our segments based on how we manage our business. In the fourth quarter of 2018, we completed our review of our segment reporting and in light of a strategic shift in our Chief Operating Decision Maker's long-term strategic focus for our organization, we no longer consider the split of retail direct and retail partner as a distinct and relevant measure of our business. Accordingly, Direct and Partner are no longer considered separate reportable segments but are included under Retail in our Business Segment disclosures. Beginning in the first quarter of 2019, we began allocatingWe allocate corporate support costs (administrative functions such as finance, human resources, and legal) to our operating segments based on their estimated usage and based on how we manage our business. Comparative prior year information has not been recast and as a result our corporate support costs for those comparative prior periods remain allocated to our Retail segment. Our Medici business includes onetwo reportable segments, tZERO and the unconsolidated financial information for Medici Ventures ("MVI"). MVI was identified as a reportable segment during 2019. We have recast prior period segment information to conform with current year presentation. MVI consists of the Medici business not associated with tZERO. We use pre-tax net income (loss) before income taxes as the measure to determine our reportable segments. As a result, the remainder of our Medici business is not significant as compared to our Retail and tZERO segments. Our Other segment consists of Medici Ventures' remaining operationsMLG, which we deconsolidated MLG's consolidated net assets and noncontrolling interest from our consolidated financial statements beginning on February 22, 2020, the remainder ofdate that control ceased, and our unallocated corporate support costs (administrative functions such as finance, human resources, and legal).costs.


Our Retail segment primarily consists of amounts earned through e-commerce sales through our Website.Website, excluding intercompany transactions eliminated in consolidation. 


Our tZERO segment primarily consists of amounts earned through securities transactions through our broker-dealers and costs incurred to execute our tZERO business initiatives.initiatives, excluding intercompany transactions eliminated in consolidation.


Our MVI segment primarily consists of costs incurred to create or foster a set of products and solutions that leverage blockchain technology to generate efficiencies and increase security and control, excluding intercompany transactions eliminated in consolidation.

We do not allocate assets between our segments for our internal management purposes, and as such, they are not presented here. There were no significant inter-segment sales or transfers during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.2020

Our Medici business initiatives seek to develop and advance the concepts of "Government as a Service" and a "Technology Stack for Civilization" by creating or fostering a set of products and solutions that leverage the transparency and immutability of blockchain technology to generate efficiencies and increase security and control in six areas of civilizational necessity: identity management, property rights and management, central banking and currencies, capital markets, supply chains and commerce, and voting systems. Our Medici business initiatives include our wholly-owned subsidiary, Medici Ventures, Inc. ("Medici Ventures"), which conducts the majority of its business through its majority-owned subsidiary tZERO Group, Inc. ("tZERO"), formerly tØ.com, Inc., a financial technology company pursuing potential financial applications of blockchain technologies as well as non-blockchain businesses. Medici Ventures currently holds minority equity interests in several technology companies whose focuses include the areas mentioned above.

Our Retail Business


Our online retail business through June 30, 2019, generated nearly all of our net revenues. In our retail business, our goal isseeks to provide goods to furnish and accessorize "dream homes" for our target customers—consumers who seek quality, stylish merchandise at bargain prices. At June 30, 2019, we offered 3.4 million products (9.4 million SKUs), of which over 99% were in-line products (products in active production), including more than 30,000 private label products offered under twelve private label brands. We believe that the furniture and home goods market, which is highly fragmented and has traditionally been served by brick and mortar stores, will continue transitioning to online sales, particularly as Millennial consumers (defined(which we define as those aged 20-36)21-37), who are generally comfortable shopping online, start families and move into new homes. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting state and local government mandates of home confinement and closure of many brick-and-mortar stores, we have seen strong trends to online sales as consumers migrate to online shopping. We regularly change our home furnishings product assortment to meet the evolving preferences of our customers and current trends. Our products include, among others, furniture, home décor including rugs, bedding and bath, home improvement, and kitchen items. We compete primarily based on:sell our products and services through our Internet websites

Initiatives for the foreseeable future. To the extent possible we maintain supplier relationships and seek new supplier relationships for our retail businesses.Retail business include:


Improve Mobile Experience - As more website visitors move to mobile, we are focusing on ensuring our mobile experience is fast, frictionless, and meets the unique needs of the mobile shopping journey. We believe an improved mobile experience improves product findability, conversion, search engine rankings, and organic traffic.

Overhaul Discounting and Pricing Experience - "Smart Value" is the central brand pillar of our value proposition. We believe clarifying our pricing and discounting experience allows customers to more confidently purchase at Overstock. Savvy shoppers expect a "smart deal," including saving through coupons, site sales, Club O rewards and financing. We have historically offered free shipping (over $45) but during the COVID-19 pandemic, in order to serve our customers during this challenging time, we are offering free shipping on everything to the continental U.S. We believe our net promoter score (NPS), repeat purchase rates and conversion will improve as we better optimize the mix of offers and clarify the pricing and discounting experience.

Real Time Performance and SKU Profitability - We are improving our ability to address site, assortment and pricing issues more quickly by enhancing our real-time visibility into site, category, and marketing channel performance. We believe this initiative allows us to improve margin by more quickly resolving site issues for an improved customer experience.

Expand Partner Sponsored Marketing - We are expanding the "Overstock Sponsored Product" program, a platform for our drop ship partners to promote their products to shoppers through a cost-per-click auction platform. In addition, we have implemented a marketing allowance program across our partner network. This marketing allowance program allows us to optimize the marketing promotion type, mix and on-sale assortment to better meet the needs of our target customer segments and adapt to seasonal relevance.

Gross margin also benefited from reduced promotional activities, including coupons and site sales,discounting, an increase in fees charged to partners due to unmet contractual service levels, and lower customer service costs due to slower growth in our driving a lower proportion of ourstaffing relative to the increase in sales using such promotions. These decreases in gross margin components were partially offset by increased freight costs.and customer contacts.


Sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue decreasedincreased from 19.5% to 9.2% in Q2 2019 as compared to 10.2% in Q2 2018,2020 primarily due to our return to our historical focus on operational efficiency as we have shifted away from our aggressive retail marketing strategy from early 2018. As part of this effort, we significantly reducedincreased spending in text ads, product listing ads, and display advertising channels. These changes in marketing spending supported our customer acquisition efforts, resulting in a 205% increase in new customers compared to the sponsored search, display ads on social media, and television marketing channels.second quarter of 2019.


Technology expenses in Q2 2019 increased $730,000totaled $33.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, a $526,000 increase compared to Q2 2018 primarily due to a $678,000 increase in technology licenses and maintenance costs.the three months ended June 30, 2019.

Additional commentary related to COVID-19

Overstock has responded effectively to the challenges and opportunities created by the COVID-19 pandemic. In our Retail business, customer demand increased significantly in the second quarter, particularly in our key home furnishings categories. We have seen a substantial year-over-year increase in our website traffic and number of new customers, and our Retail gross sales grew more than 100% year over year in Q2. Our online-only platform and partner network with thousands of fulfillment centers has enabled us to meet this increase in demand without significant operational disruptions. Our warehouses have remained operational based on our implementation of sound safety measures, including staggered shifts and social distancing. We also are hiring in key areas to support our current and expected growth. We have faced challenges from the sharply increased volume throughout our customer service channels and capacity issues from shipping carriers and some periods,suppliers, including out-of-stock positions on some of our top performing products. We also have faced challenges at tZERO and its subsidiaries, as market volatility has delayed capital raises by potential issuers. Most of our Medici Ventures blockchain companies have seen little disruption, and several are working on solutions to reduced liquidity. Additionally, we may recognize additional impairment chargesproblems arising from the global pandemic. We have evaluated and implemented a phased re-entry plan for our ownership interestsoffices while most of our corporate employees continue to work from home without incident. We cannot predict how the COVID-19 pandemic will unfold in other entities.the coming months. Nevertheless, the challenges arising from the pandemic have not adversely affected our liquidity, revenues, or capacity to service our debt, nor have these conditions forced us to reduce our capital expenditures.

In January 2018, we shifted our retail strategy to aggressively pursue revenuelargely driven by new customer growth and strong repeat customer behavior, both influenced by a consumer shift toward online shopping related to the COVID-19 pandemic. While we have observed this recent acceleration of new customers with a large increasecustomer acquisition and demand for our products and resulting sales, we cannot estimate the impact that COVID-19 will have on our business in salesthe future due to the unpredictable nature of the ultimate scope and marketing expenses.

The products and product lines we offer, and their respective percentages of our revenue, are based on many factors including customer demand, our marketing efforts, promotional pricing, joint-marketing offered by our suppliers, the types of inventory we are able to obtain and the number of SKUs we offer. These factors change frequently and can affect the mix of the product lines we sell. We have experienced a trend toward our home and garden category in recent years and we have recently focused our marketing and branding efforts towards our home and garden product line. We are also working to increase the number of SKUs we offer. While we do not currently expect any material shifts in our product line mix, the relative amounts of the product lines we sell and the revenue we earn from those product lines are generally an economic result of the factors described above, which may change from time to time.

Change in estimate of average transit times (days)
 
RevenueOur retail revenue related to merchandise sales is recognized upon delivery to our customers. As we ship high volumes of packages through multiple carriers, it is not practical for us to track the actual delivery date of each shipment. Therefore, we use estimates to determine which shipments are delivered and, therefore, recognized as revenue at the end of the period. Our delivery date estimates are based on average shipping transit times. We review and update our estimates on a quarterly basis based on our actual transit time experience. However, actual shipping times may differ from our estimates.estimates, which can be further impacted by uncertainty, volatility, and any disruption to our carriers caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Fulfillment costs


Fulfillment costs include all warehousing costs, including fixed overhead and variable handling costs (excluding packaging costs), as well as credit card fees and customer service costs, all of which we include as costs in calculating gross margin. We believe that some companies in our industry, including some of our competitors, account for fulfillment costs within operating expenses, and therefore exclude fulfillment costs from gross margin. As a result, our gross margin may not be directly comparable to others in our industry.

Sales and marketing expenses


We use a variety of methods to target our consumer audience, including online campaigns, such as advertising through keywords,text ads, product listing ads, display ads, search engines,native ads, affiliate marketing programs, social coupon websites, portals, banners, e-mail, direct mail, and viralvideo ads, and social media campaigns. We also do brand advertising through television, radio, print ads, and event sponsorships.


Costs associated with our discounted shipping and other promotions, such as coupons, are not included in sales and marketing expense. Rather, they are accounted for as a reduction in revenue as they reduce the amount of consideration we

We consider discounted shipping and other promotions, such as our policy ofpolicies for free shipping on orders (historically we have offered free shipping on orders over $45 and currently offer free shipping on everything to the continental U.S. during the COVID-19 pandemic), as an effective marketing tool, and intend to continue to offer them as we deem appropriate as part of our overall marketing plan.

As part of this effort, we significantly reducedincreased spending in text ads, product listing ads, and display advertising channels.

The frequency and variety of cyberattacks on our Website, our corporate systems, and on third parties we use to support our technology continues to increase. The impact of such attacks, their costs, and the costs we incur to protect ourselves against future attacks have not been material. However, we consider the risk introduced by cyberattacks to be serious and will continue to incur costs related to efforts to protect ourselves against them.

Income taxes


Our income tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of our annual effective tax rate adjusted for discrete items, if any, for relevant interim periods. We update our estimate of the annual effective tax rate each quarter and make cumulative adjustments if our estimated annual effective tax rate changes.


Our quarterly tax provision and our quarterly estimate of our annual effective tax rate are subject to significant variations due to several factors including variability in predicting our pre-tax and taxable income and the mix of jurisdictions to which those items relate, relative changes in expenses or losses for which tax benefits are not recognized, how we do business, fluctuations in our stock price, and changes in laws, regulations, and administrative practices. Our effective tax rate can be volatile based on the amount of pre-tax income. For example, the impact of discrete items on our effective tax rate is greater when pre-tax income is lower.


Our expense/(benefit) for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $517,000 and $(622,000), respectively. Our expense for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 and 2018 was $(622,000) and $(27,000)$693,000 and $256,000, and $(304,000), respectively. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was 4.5% and 2018 was (0.4)% and 0.3%, respectively. Our low effective tax rate is primarily attributable to the valuation allowance we are maintainingmaintain on our net deferred tax assets.assets related to our U.S. operations.

We have indefinitely reinvested foreign earnings of $1.6 million at June 30, 2019. We would need to accrue and pay various taxes on this amount if repatriated. We do not intend to repatriate these earnings.

We are subject to taxation in the United States and several state and foreign jurisdictions. Tax years beginning in 20142015 are subject to examination by taxing authorities, although net operating loss and credit carryforwards from all years are subject to examinations and adjustments for at least three years following the year in which the attributes are used. An audit by the Ireland Revenue Agency for the calendar year 2016 was finalized during 2019 with no assessment. For additional information see Item 1 of Part I, "Financial Statements (Unaudited)"—Note 2. Accounting Policies, Income taxes.

Seasonality

Based upon our historical experience, revenue typically increases during the fourth quarter because of the holiday retail season and gross margin decreases due to increased sales of certain lower margin products, such as electronics. While we had lower sales volume during the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to the comparable period in 2017, we anticipate the trend of higher sales volume during our fourth quarter to continue for the foreseeable future. Revenue typically decreases in the following quarter(s), as shown in the table below. The actual quarterly results for each quarter could differ materially depending upon consumer preferences, availability of product and competition, among other risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, there can be no assurances that seasonal variations will not materially affect our results of operations in the future.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview


We are proactively seeking opportunities to improve the efficiency of our operations and are considering a comprehensive set of actions to do so. During the latter end of 2018 we began taking and continue to take significant steps to realize internal cost savings, including staff reductions and process streamlining. Additionally, we intend to further reduce costs in future periods. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents currently on hand and expected cash flows from future operations will be sufficient to continue operations for at least the next twelve months. During the period of uncertainty and volatility related to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have presumed for forecasting purposes that our recent revenue growth rates experienced during the second half of March 2020 and through July 2020 will not continue at these levels for the foreseeable future as we believe these growth rates are driven in large part by the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting state and local government mandates of home confinement and closure of many brick-and-mortar stores. We also believe thatcontinue to monitor, evaluate, and manage our operating plans, forecasts, and liquidity in light of the most recent developments driven by the COVID-19 pandemic. We proactively seek opportunities to improve the efficiency of our operations and have in the past and may in the future take steps to realize internal cost savings, including aligning our staffing needs based on our current and expected future levels of operations and process streamlining. However, we may need to raise additional capital and/or obtain additional debt financing to be able to fully pursue some or all of our strategies, including plans for our retail business while also funding our Medici initiatives, beyond the next twelve months.

We have developed and implemented initiatives within See "Strategies for our retail business around improving our Club O rewards program primarily to increase member benefits and to develop additional personalization programs; improving our organic search engine rankings; additional distribution facilities to speed shipping and improve our customer service; additional automation, technology and engineering resources to improve our customers' shopping experience; and improving our private label initiative to generate significant brand equity and customer loyalty. We believe these initiatives will have significant long-term positive results; however, the expenditures will likely adversely affect our short-term results. See "Our Retail Business", "Strategies for our Medici Business", and "Strategies for our tZERO Business" above.


Our Medici initiatives also require substantial funding. Medici VenturesThe recent COVID-19 pandemic has caused disruption in the capital markets. It could make financing, including sales under our "at the market" public offering program with JonesTrading, more difficult and/or expensive and its majority-owned subsidiary, tZERO, continue to identify, evaluate and pursue various opportunities for strategic acquisitions or purchases of interests to add to the services and expertise they offer their customers. See "Our Medici Business—Medici Ventures" and "Our Medici Business—tZERO" above.

If we raise additional funds through the issuance of them, will depend onequity or debt outside of our "at the resources wemarket" public offerings of common stock, those securities may have available,rights, preferences or privileges senior to the rights of our common stock, and will require significantly more capital than we currently have.our stockholders may experience dilution.


Current sources of liquidity
 
Our principal sources of liquidity are existing cash and cash equivalents.equivalents and accounts receivables, net. At June 30, 2019,2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of $121.3$318.6 million and accounts receivables, net of allowance for credit losses of $47.8 million. Our ability to access the liquidity of our subsidiaries may be limited by tax and legal considerations and other factors.

Contemplated Financing Transactions

In August 2018, Overstock signed a Token Purchase Agreement with GSR Capital Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company ("GSR"), and a term sheet contemplating a sale of Overstock common stock to GSR. The Token Purchase Agreement sets forth the terms on which GSR had agreed to purchase, for $30 million, on May 6, 2019 or such other date as agreed by the parties, security tokens at a price of $6.67 per security token. On May 8, 2019, the parties executed an Investment Agreement to replace the Token Purchase Agreement under which GSR agreed to purchases 508,710 shares of tZERO common stock, representing approximately 0.5%time. As of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of tZERO. In exchange, GSR agreed to transfer to tZERO a total $5.0 million in consideration, consisting of $1.0 million U.S. dollars, $1.0 million U.S. dollars' worth of Chinese Renminbi, and securities traded on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange with a market value on theeffective date of the Investment Agreement of $3.0amended and restated agreement, June 26, 2020, we had $150.0 million U.S. dollars.

Upon full payment under the Investment Agreement, tZERO expects to issue the shares of its common stock and the amounts included in Accrued liabilities will be reflected as Noncontrolling interest.

The previously-announced memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) in which GSR and Makara Capital ("Makara") would co-lead an investment of up to $100 million in tZERO common stock did not close in April as previously expected. However, we remain in discussions with Makara and GSR and if a definitive agreement is reached, the terms, including the amount purchased, number of shares, and/or post money valuation of tZERO, may be less favorable than the terms contemplated under the MOU. There can be no assurance that tZERO, GSR, or Makara will enter into a definitive agreement regarding the proposed transaction in the near-term, or at all, or that it will be on terms set forth in the MOU, including the amount of the investment or post-money valuation.

Cash flows from operatingOperating activities
 
Our operating cash flows result primarily from cash received from our customers, offset by cash payments we make for employee compensation (less amounts capitalized related to internal-use software that are reflected as cash used in investing activities), and changes in working capital and other related activities. Working capital at any specific point in time is subject to many variables, including seasonality, inventory management, expansion efforts, the timing of cash receipts and payments, and vendor payment terms. Cash received from customers generally corresponds to our net revenues as our customers primarily use credit cards to buy from us, causing our receivables from these sales transactions to settle quickly. We have payment terms with our partners that generally extend beyond the amount of time necessary to collect proceeds from our customers. As a result followingof the COVID-19 pandemic, we saw our typically seasonally strong fourth quarterretail product sales accelerate at December 31the end of each year,March through June 30, 2020, as customers turned to online shopping, which caused our cash, cash equivalents and accounts receivable balances to increase compared to year-end and also resulted in increase in our accounts payable and accrued liability balances normally reach their highest level (other thanunearned revenue balance as a result of June 30, 2020.

Notwithstanding our current negative cash flows from operating activities, we believe that our cash and cash equivalents currently on hand and expected cash flows from future operations will be sufficient to continue operations for at least the next twelve months. However, we also believe that we may need to raise additional capital and/or obtain significant additional debt financing to be able to fully pursue some or all of our plans, including plans for our retail business while also funding our Medici initiatives, beyond the next twelve months.

Operating leases

From time to time we enter into operating leases for facilities and equipment for use in our operations. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we renewed a lease for one of our warehouses and entered into a new office lease that increased our future operating lease payments by $11.9 million.

Purchase obligations

The amount of purchase obligations shown above is based on assumptions regarding the legal enforceability against us of inventory purchase orders we had outstanding at June 30, 2019. Under different assumptions regarding our rights to cancel our purchase orders or different assumptions regarding the enforceability of the purchase orders under applicable law, the amount of purchase obligations shown in the table above would be less.

Technology services

From time to time we enter into long-term contractual agreements for technology services and finance leases for equipment included in such service agreements.

High Bench Senior Credit Agreement

We are party to a financing agreement acquired in connection with our acquisition of Mac Warehouse, LLC which, at the time of the acquisition, was due on April 18, 2020 (see Borrowings below). The amounts presented reflect our related principal payments. During July 2019, we repaid the entire outstanding balance of the High Bench Loan.

Tax contingencies


We are involved in various tax matters, the outcomes of which are uncertain. As of June 30, 2019,2020, accrued tax contingencies were $1.6 million. Changes in state, federal, and foreign tax laws may increase our tax contingencies. The timing of the resolution of income tax contingencies is highly uncertain, and the amounts ultimately paid, if any, upon resolution of issues raised by the taxing authorities may differ from the amounts accrued. It is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months we will receive additional assessments by various tax authorities. These assessments may or may not result in changes to our contingencies related to positions on prior years' tax filings.

Borrowings

High Bench Senior Credit Agreement

On June 25, 2018, we became party to a senior credit agreement, as amended, with High Bench-Mac Warehouse-Senior Debt, LLC (the "High Bench Loan"), in connection with our acquisition of Mac Warehouse, LLC. Under the amended agreement, at the time of the acquisition, the loan carried an annual interest rate of 11.0% and a default rate of 18.0%, and was subject to monthly interest only payments with the remaining principal amount and any then unpaid interest due and payable on April 18, 2020. At the time of the acquisition, the High Bench Loan was subject to mandatory prepayment under certain circumstances, and was prepayable at our election at any time without penalty or premium. There were no financial covenants associated with the High Bench Loan. At June 30, 2019, our outstanding balance on the High Bench Loan was $3.1 million. During July 2019, we repaid the entire outstanding balance of the High Bench Loan.

Letters of credit
At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, letters of credit totaling $205,000 and $280,000, were issued on our behalf collateralized by compensating cash balances held at a bank, which are included in Restricted cash in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Commercial purchasing card agreement
We have a commercial purchasing card (the "Purchasing Card") agreement. We use the Purchasing Card for business purpose purchasing and must pay it in full each month. At June 30, 2019, $64,000 was outstanding and $936,000 was available under the Purchasing Card. At December 31, 2018, $48,000 was outstanding and $952,000 was available under the Purchasing Card.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

At June 30, 2020, we had a $5 million contractual off-balance sheet contingent obligation to provide additional funding in the future to our BSTX joint venture when, during the first 48 months after the establishment of the entity, the aggregate cash balance of BSTX's combined bank accounts fall below $2 million for any reason. Subsequent to June 30, 2020, the conditions to fund the obligation were triggered but we have not yet provided the additional funding as of our filing date.

We do not have any other off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that would be material to investors.

We are subject to a wide variety of laws, rules and regulations, some of which apply or may apply to us as a result of our retail business, some of which apply or may apply to us as a result of our Medici business,or tZERO businesses, and others of which apply to us for other reasons, such as our status as a publicly held company or the places in which we sell certain types or amounts of products. Our retail business is subject to general business regulations and laws, as well as regulations and laws specifically governing the Internet, e-commerce, and other services we offer.

Our Medici and tZERO businesses are subject to general business regulations and laws, including some of those described above, but are also affected by a number of other laws and regulations, including but not limited to, laws and regulations relating to money transmitters and money services businesses, including the requirements of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network of the U.S. Department of the Treasury ("FinCEN"), and state requirements applicable to money transmission, cryptocurrencies, public benefit corporations, provisions of various securities laws and other laws and regulations governing broker dealers,broker-dealers, alternative trading systems and national securities exchanges, anti-money laundering requirements, know-your-customer requirements, record-keeping, reporting and capital and bonding requirements, and a variety of other matters. Blockchain and distributed ledger platforms are recent technological innovations, and the regulation of securities tokens and otherpeer-to-peer digital assets and conventional securities, insofar as blockchain technologies are applied to conventional securities, is developing. In the U.S., the businesses that we are working to develop are or may be subject to a wide variety of complex statutes and rules, most of which were implemented prior to the development of these technologies, and it is sometimes unclear whether or how various statutes or regulations apply.


The Token Trading System launchedIn addition, tZERO Markets has applied for and is in January 2019the process of seeking regulatory approvals to operate as a broker-dealer in a variety of areas, including retail activities.

As a result of the services which tZERO Markets is seeking regulatory approval to provide, including servicing retail investors, a number of these legal and regulations.

The SEC published proposed rule changes relating to BSTX on October 11, 2019, soliciting public comments thereon. The SEC extended the review period on November 29, 2019 to January 16, 2020. BOX Exchange LLC filed an amendment to the proposal on December 26, 2019, and the SEC again extended the review period on January 16, 2020 to April 15, 2020. A subsequent amendment was filed by BOX Exchange LLC on February 19, 2020, after which the SEC extended the review period on April 14, 2020 until June 14, 2020. To allow for further review by the SEC, BOX Exchange LLC withdrew and resubmitted the proposed rule changes on May 12, 2020. The SEC extended the review period for the proposed rule changes on July 16, 2020 to August 30, 2020.

Other Factors that May Affect Future Results

We periodically evaluate opportunities to repurchase our equity securities, obtain credit facilities, or issue additional debt or equity securities. In addition, we may, from time to time, consider the investment in, or acquisition of, complementary businesses, products, services, or technologies, any of which might affect our liquidity requirements or cause us to issue additional debt or equity securities. There can be no assurance that financing arrangements will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Our future results may be significantly different from our historical results for several other reasons as well, including the possibility discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K that we may sell our retail business, which would have a dramatic effect on our future results.









Other reasons that our future results may be significantly different from our historical results include the potential effects on us of the accounting and tax changes discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, and other reasons described in Item 1. "Business" under "Our Retail Business" and "Our Medici Business", as well as the risk factors described in Item 1A. "Risk Factors" of Part II, "Risk Factors" of this report.

Any investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Investors should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties described in this Form 10-Q, including the risks described in Item 1A of Part II, "Risk Factors" of this report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, Part I - Item 1A - "Risk Factors," and all other information in this Form 10-Q and in our other filings with the SEC including those we file after we file this Form 10-Q, before deciding whether to purchase or hold our securities. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also become important factors that may harm our business. The occurrence of any of the risks described under "Risk Factors" in this report or in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 could harm our business. The trading price of our securities could decline due to any of these risks and uncertainties, and investors may lose part or all of their investment.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
Our financial instruments consistWe are exposed to market risk for the effect of interest rate changes, foreign currency fluctuations, and changes in the market values of our investments. Information relating to quantitative and qualitative disclosures about these market risks is set forth below.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

The fair value of our cash and cash equivalents trade accounts and contracts receivable, accounts payable, and long-term obligations. We consider highly-liquid(highly-liquid instruments with a remaining maturity of 90 days or less at the date of purchasepurchase) would not be significantly affected by either an increase or decrease in interest rates due mainly to be cash equivalents. We currently do not hold any derivative financial instruments or foreign exchange contracts.the short-term nature of these instruments.


Our exposure to marketLoan Core Capital Funding Corporation LLC loan agreements carry a fixed blended annual interest rate of 4.45%. Since the Notes bear interest at a fixed rate, we have no direct financial statement risk forassociated with changes in interest rates relates primarilyrates.

Foreign Currency Risk

Most of our sales and operating expenses are denominated in U.S. dollars, and therefore, our total revenue and operating expenses are not currently subject to our short-term investments and short-term obligations; thus, fluctuations in interest rates would not have a material impact on the fair value of these securities. However, thesignificant foreign currency risk.

Investment Risk

The fair values of our investmentsmarketable and equity securities may be subject to fluctuations due to volatility of the stock market in general, investment-specific circumstances, and changes in general economic conditions.

Volatile market conditions arising from the COVID-19 pandemic may result in significant changes in the value of our marketable and equity securities. At June 30, 2019, we had $121.3 million in cash and cash equivalents. Hypothetically, an increase or decrease in interest rates of one hundred basis points would have an estimated impact of $1.2 million on our earnings or loss, or the cash flows of these instruments.

At June 30, 2019, letters of credit totaling $205,000 were outstanding under collateralized compensating cash balances held at our bank. Hypothetically, an increase or decrease in interest rates of one hundred basis points would have an estimated impact of $2,000 on our earnings or loss if the letters of credit were fully drawn.

At June 30, 2019, we had cryptocurrency-denominated assets totaling $2.3 million. Hypothetically, an increase or decrease in the market value of one hundred basis points would have an estimated impact of $23,000 on our earnings or loss, or the recorded value of these instruments. It is generally not our policy to hold material amounts of cryptocurrency because of volatility and market risk.

At June 30, 2019,2020, our recorded value in marketable and equity securities in public and private companies was $43.8 million. Our equity securities in$52.7 million, of which $2.6 million relates to publicly traded companies, represent $1.5 million of our equity securities as of June 30, 2019, and are recorded at fair value, which isare subject to market price volatility. We perform a qualitative assessment for our equity securities in private companies to identify impairment. If this assessment indicates that an impairment exists, we estimate the fair value of the equity security and, if the fair value is less than carrying value, we write down the equity security to fair value. Our assessment includes a review of recent operating results and trends, recent sales/acquisitions of the equity securities, and other publicly available data. Valuations of private companies are inherently more complex due to the lack of readily available market data. As such, we believe that market sensitivities are not practicable.





ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The term disclosure controls and procedures means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms.





Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation required by the Exchange Act under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


Beginning January 1, 2019, we implemented ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). In connection with its adoption, we implemented changes to our processesLimitations on Disclosure Controls and internal control activities over financial reporting to ensure compliance with the new accounting and disclosure rules.

Except for the preceding changes, there has not occurred any change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Procedures
    
Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives as specified above. Management does not expect, however, that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent or detect all error and fraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.



Changes in Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Control Over Financial Reporting


There were no changes in either our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2020, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting. We have not experienced any material impact to our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls over financial reporting despite the fact that most of our corporate employees are working remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are continually monitoring and assessing the COVID-19 situation on our internal controls to minimize the impact on their design and operating effectiveness.









PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
 
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
TheFrom time to time, we are involved in, or become subject to litigation or other legal proceedings concerning consumer protection, employment, intellectual property, claims under the securities laws, and other commercial matters related to the conduct and operation of our business and the sale of products on our Website. We also prosecute lawsuits to enforce our legal rights. In connection with such litigation or other legal proceedings, we have been in the past and we may be in the future subject to significant damages, associated costs, or equitable remedies relating to the operation of our business. Such litigation could be costly and time consuming and could divert or distract our management and key personnel from our business operations. Due to the uncertainty of litigation and depending on the amount and the timing, an unfavorable resolution of some or all of such matters could materially affect our business, results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. For additional details, see the information set forth under Item 1 of Part I, "Financial Statements "—Financial Statements—Note 7—"10—Commitments and Contingencies," subheading "LegalLegal Proceedings and Contingencies," contained in the "NotesNotes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements"Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is incorporated by reference in answer to this Item.
 
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS


Any investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Please consider the following risk factors carefully. If any one or more of the following risks were to occur, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations, and the market price of our securities could decrease significantly. Statements below to the effect that an event could or would harm our business (or have an adverse effect on our business or similar statements) mean that the event could or would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations, which in turn could or would have a material adverse effect on the market price of our securities. Many of the risks we face involve more than one type of risk. Consequently, you should read all of the risk factors below carefully, as well as the risk factors described in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018,2019, and in any reports we file with the SEC after we file this Form 10-Q, before deciding whether to purchase or hold our securities. We have included risk factors contained in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, with appropriate revisions, and have added new risk factors. We have not repeated risk factors contained in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, which are incorporated herein by reference. The occurrence of any of these risks could harm our business, the trading price of our securities could decline, and investors could lose part or all of their investment.


Other than the risk factors set forth below, there are no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I - Item 1A - "Risk Factors," of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019.


IfThe resumption of normal business operations after the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic may be delayed or constrained by its ongoing effects on our partners, consumers, suppliers or third-party service providers.

Any of the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, including those described below, alone or in combination with others, may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Any of these negative impacts, alone or in combination with others, could exacerbate many of the risk factors discussed in Part I - Item 1A - "Risk Factors," of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will negatively affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and actions taken by governmental authorities, private businesses and other third parties in response to the pandemic, the ultimate geographic spread of the virus and the ongoing economic effect of the pandemic.

The duration and extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic might impact our results of operations and overall financial performance remains uncertain.

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization ("WHO") characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic. This widespread health crisis has profoundly and adversely affected the world economy, employment levels, and financial markets. The duration and extent of the impact from the COVID-19 pandemic is currently unknown and difficult to predict, but could result in a loss of workforce, including key personnel, due to adverse health effects of the disease, a lack of consumer demand for the services and products we failand our subsidiaries offer, and an inability to comply with ongoing Nasdaq listing standardsoperate our warehouses or other key locations at full capacity, and corporate governance requirements, we could be subject to de-listing.adversely affect our business and financial results.






Our common stock is currently listed on the Nasdaq Global Market. In orderability to maintain this listing,the substantial increase in sales we are required to comply with various continued listing standards, including corporate governance requirements, set forthhave experienced since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic is uncertain.

We have seen a substantial increase in the Nasdaq Listing Rules. These standardssales from newly acquired customers and requirements include an obligation to maintain a Board of Directors, a majority of whom are deemed to be independent and that we maintain an Audit Committee consisting of at least three independent Board Members. Our Board of Directors currently has five members, three of whom are deemed independent, and our Audit Committee consists of these three independent directors. If one of our independent directors should cease to be on the Board, we would no longer have a majority of independent Directorsexisting customers on our Boardonline retail website due in large part to the COVID-19 pandemic, with resulting home confinement mandates from state and local governments and closures of many brick-and-mortar stores. The rapid increase in sales volume resulted in a reduction of certain inventory, shipment delays, and delays in responding to customer service issues with a corresponding reduction in customer satisfaction. The extent to which our Audit Committee would no longer have at least three independent directors. If suchincreased sales volume will continue or newly acquired customers will convert into repeat customers as home confinement mandates are lifted and brick-and-mortar stores re-open is uncertain. Further, this uncertainty could result in a scenario was not rectified in accordance with applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules, we could become subject to Nasdaq delisting procedures.

Future salesvolatility of our common or preferred stock may depress our stock price.


Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stockNew regulations and policies relating to, or our preferred stock in the public market or otherwise, by us or by a significant stockholder, could depress the trading price of our common or preferred stock and impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities.

In addition, we may issue additional shares of our common or preferred stock from time to time in the future in amounts that may be significant. The sale of substantial amounts of our common or preferred stock, or the perception that these sales may occur, could adversely affect the trading prices of either or both of these securities.







Additional Risks Relating to Our tZERO Initiatives

Our ownership in tZERO is below the threshold required to permit us to use its losses to offset taxable income generated by the rest of our U.S. business and is below the threshold required to effect a tax-free spin-off.

Due to our ownership percentages of both tZERO common stock and tZERO Security Tokens, we own less than the required percentage to file a federal consolidated income tax return. tZERO therefore files a separate federal tax return from the rest of our U.S. domestic operations, and as a result, certain tax attributes, such as federal net operating losses and tax credits, generated by tZERO are not available to offset taxable income generated by the rest of our U.S. domestic operations, and vice versa. Additionally, among other gating factors, our ownership percentage is also currently below the level required to effect a tax-free spin-off of tZERO, and therefore, at this time we do not believe that a tax-free spin-off of the tZERO business is a viable option.

tZERO Crypto’s business may be limited in certain jurisdictions if it is unable to timely receive certain licenses it is in process of obtaining or due to the regulations applicable to it.

tZERO’s subsidiary Bitsy, Inc., which does business as, and which we refer to in this discussion as tZERO Crypto, is applying for licenses to operate as a money transmitter (or its equivalent) in most states and has, as of July 31, 2019, obtained such licenses in a majority of states. tZERO Crypto has also registered with FinCEN. There can be no assurance that tZERO Crypto will be able to obtain money transmitter licenses on a timely basis in states where they have not already been obtained, or that they will be obtained at all, which may limit the services tZERO Crypto is able to offer in certain jurisdictions or require potential product changes.

Additionally, as a licensed money transmitter and due to its registration with FinCEN, tZERO Crypto is subject to obligations and restrictions with respect to various anti-money laundering, know-your-customer, record-keeping, reporting and capital and bonding requirements, limitations on the investment of customer funds, and inspection by state and federal regulatory agencies. In the future,arising as a result of, the regulations applicable to tZERO Crypto’s business, it may be subject to additional liability, including governmental fines, restrictions on its business, or other sanctions, and it could be forced to cease conducting certain aspects of its business with residents of certain jurisdictions, be forced to otherwise change it business practices in certain jurisdictions, or be required to obtain additional licenses or regulatory approvals.

The occurrence of any of the foregoingCOVID-19 could have a material adverse effect on tZERO’s operationsour business.

Foreign, state and financial conditionlocal governments have enacted certain regulations and policies relating to COVID-19, which include but are not limited to new immigration policies and regulations on pricing and shipment of goods. Various jurisdictions have imposed restrictions on immigration to contain the spread of COVID-19. Immigration policies vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction but could negatively impact our ability to retain our existing foreign employees or our ability to recruit new talent from foreign jurisdictions. In addition, so called "price gouging" regulations vary from state to state and seek to limit the amount by which a material adverse effectprice can be increased for certain items. Similarly, certain regulations have been enacted to restrict or limit the shipment of non-essential items in the wake of COVID-19. It is difficult to predict the impact these and other regulations, including both current and future regulations, relating to, or arising as a result of, COVID-19 might have on us.

tZERO Crypto operates a digital walletus and exchange services application which subjects itour subsidiaries. If we are unable to a variety of risks.

tZERO Crypto’s primary business is a mobile application that allows consumers to buy, sellboth meet consumer demand and hold various supported cryptocurrencies. Certain aspects of this business are heavily regulated and may require tZERO Crypto to register or obtain licenses in order to conduct its business. Additionally, regulations related to digital assets such as cryptocurrencies vary significantly among jurisdictions and are subject to significant uncertainty. Any failure by tZERO Crypto to satisfy applicable licensing requirements, adequately comply with applicable regulation or account for a regulatory change may subject itsuch regulations, our reputation could be damaged and we could be exposed to a variety of adverse consequences including an increase in costs related to compliance or operational changes, reputational harmliabilities, penalties, and regulatory penalties.
Security breaches, computer malware and other computer hacking attacks are of concern to businesses that interact with cryptocurrencies. While tZERO Crypto wallet users hold their cryptocurrency directly on their mobile devices (as opposed to being held in custody by tZERO Crypto), tZERO Crypto holds a limited cryptocurrency inventory on hand to facilitate its exchange services and has access to customer information. As a result, tZERO Crypto is subject to risk of cyber-attacks,fines, which involve efforts to gain unauthorized access to information or systems, or to cause intentional malfunctions or loss or corruption of data, software, hardware or other computer equipment, the inadvertent transmission of computer viruses or other malware, other forms of malicious attacks, or via other means, including phishing attacks, or malfeasance or negligent acts of our personnel any of which could result in loss of cryptocurrency, unauthorized access to customer information and the resulting legal or financial exposures or the unexpected unavailability of tZERO Crypto’s services.

Additionally, the prices of cryptocurrencies and other digital assets tZERO Crypto may hold in limited amounts for operational purposes have historically been subject to dramatic fluctuations and are highly volatile. This may subject tZERO Crypto to significant cryptocurrency price volatility risk.






The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on tZERO’s operationsour business and financial condition andresults.

Tariffs, the spread of illness, including COVID-19, or other governmental measures or events that increase the effective price of products or limit our ability to access or deliver products we or our suppliers or fulfillment partners import into the United States or otherwise source could have a material adverse effect on us.our business.

We and many of our suppliers and fulfillment partners source a large percentage of the products we offer on our Website from China and other countries. The United States imposed tariffs on goods from China in 2019 which adversely impacted our revenues. If the United States imposes additional tariffs, or if a disease or illness such as COVID-19 spreads and such measures or events directly or indirectly increase the price of imported products sold on our Website, limit the ability for us or our suppliers and fulfillment partners to source products, limit our ability to access products sold on our Website, or limit or interfere with the timely transportation or delivery of products on our Website, the increased prices and/or supply chain challenges could have a material adverse effect on our financial results, business and prospects. Further, the broader global effects of potentially reduced consumer confidence and spending related to COVID-19 could also have a negative effect on our overall business. At this point, the extent to which COVID-19 may impact our business is uncertain. 
The spread of COVID-19 could have technology and security consequences and could negatively impact our operations.
We have facilities located in Washington, New York, Pennsylvania, Kansas, Utah, and Ireland. We also have contractors located in California, India and the Philippines. Our employees and contractors working in these facilities may be at risk for exposure to and for contracting COVID-19. Known cases of COVID-19 have been reported in these regions. The spread of COVID-19 in these locations may result in our employees and contractors being forced to work remotely or missing work if they or a member of their family contract COVID-19. Additional risks are inherent when employees and contractors work remotely, including risks that third-party internet and phone service providers may not provide adequate services for employees and contractors to perform their responsibilities, risks that hardware, software, or other technological problems or failures could prevent employees or contractors from performing their responsibilities and could take an excessive amount of time to resolve and risks that employees and contractors may not be trained as effectively or monitored as closely from remote locations, creating greater risks for the security of confidential information. Any such occurrences could have a material negative impact on the business. The extent to which COVID-19 may impact our business remains uncertain. 

We may be required to recognize impairments losses or allowances for bad debt relating to our equity interests in or creditor relationships with startup businesses.

We hold minority interests and promissory notes in several companies that are in the startup or development stages and we may acquire additional minority interests in other entities in the future. Minority interests are inherently risky because we




may not have the ability to influence business decisions. Further, these interests are inherently risky because the markets for the technologies or products these companies are developing are typically in the early stages, unproven, and may never materialize. These companies may abandon, modify, or alter their product and service mix and overall strategy whether due to COVID-19 or otherwise. Additionally, since these interests are in companies that are in the early startup or development stages, even if their technology or products are viable, they may not be able to obtain the capital or resources necessary to successfully bring their technology or products to market. Furthermore, the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may limit the ability for these entities to raise capital in the future. Furthermore, we have no assurance that the technology or products of companies we have funded would be successful, even if they were brought to market. We have previously recognized impairment losses or made allowances for bad debt related to these equity interests and may in the future recognize additional impairment losses or make allowances for bad debt related to these interests. Any such impairment losses or allowances for bad debt could be material and could have a material adverse effect on our financial results and business.

We depend on third-party companies to perform functions critical to our business, and any failure or increased cost on their part could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We depend on third-party companies, including third-party carriers and a large number of independent fulfillment partners whose products we offer for sale on our Website, to perform functions critical to our ability to deliver products and services to our customers on time and at a reasonable cost. We depend on our carriers and fulfillment partners to perform traditional retail operations such as maintaining inventory, preparing merchandise for shipment to our customers and delivering purchased merchandise on a timely and cost-effective basis. We also depend on the delivery and product assembly services that we and they utilize, on the payment processors that facilitate our customers' payments for their purchases, and on other third parties over which we have no control, for the operation of our business. Difficulties with any of our significant fulfillment partners or third-party carriers, delivery or product assembly services, payment processors or other third parties involved in our business, regardless of the reason, could have a material adverse effect on our financial results, business and prospects.

tZERO Markets may notbe adversely affected as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The potential negative impacts of COVID-19 and its related political and economic responses on tZERO may include increased stress on tZERO's broker-dealer subsidiaries' and tZERO Crypto's technology due to increased trading volatility and volume which they have and are expected to continue to experience and increases in attempted cyber-attacks or a decrease in worker productivity as a result of remote work. Further, the global economic impacts of COVID-19 could also negatively affect tZERO's business. Such impacts may include a reduced willingness by potential securities issuers to pursue capital raising transactions or seek secondary liquidity for existing capital (thereby reducing tZERO's ability to commercialize the tZERO Technology Stack), shift in attention by regulators and other market participants from regulatory innovation initiatives, decreased interest by third-party broker-dealers in subscribing to the tZERO ATS or a decline in investor appetite or available capital for trading in securities, including securities that use the tZERO Technology Stack and trade on the tZERO ATS, or bearer digital assets such as cryptocurrencies.
Additionally, certain tZERO management and employees have, and in the future others may, contract COVID-19. This may contribute to a disruption in tZERO's ordinary business activities and slow development of tZERO's products and technology and may be particularly pronounced in the event of the death or extended incapacity of any officer or employee performing a key function. 
At this point, while the COVID-19 pandemic may have an adverse impact on tZERO's operations, the extent, duration and nature of such impacts remain uncertain.

There can be no assurance that BSTX will receive the regulatory approval it requires to operate its anticipated business.

In May 2019, tZERO formed a new subsidiary, Zoro Securities, LLC, dba tZERO Markets ("tZERO Markets"), in order to offer certain brokerage and investment banking services for traditional equities and digital securities. tZERO Markets has applied for regulatory approval to permit it to offer such services, including by filing a Form BD and New Member Application with FINRA.operate.
 
tZERO and BOX Digital have entered into a joint venture intended to develop a national securities exchange facility of BOX Exchange LLC ("BSTX") that would facilitate the trading of a type of digital security called a security token that would utilize the tZERO Technology Stack. The SEC published proposed rule changes related to BSTX on October 11, 2019, soliciting public comments thereon. The SEC extended the review period on November 29, 2019 to January 16, 2020, BOX Exchange LLC filed an amendment to the proposal on December 26, 2019, and the SEC again extended the review period on January 16, 2020 to April 15, 2020. A subsequent amendment was filed by BOX Exchange LLC on February 19, 2020, after which the SEC extended the review period on April 14, 2020 until June 14, 2020. To allow for further review by the SEC, BOX Exchange LLC withdrew and resubmitted the proposed rule changes on May 12, 2020. The SEC extended the review period for the proposed rule changes on July 16, 2020 to August 30, 2020.





The application of federal securities law FINRA rules and other bodies of law to digital assets enhanced by blockchain technology is subject to significant uncertainty and likely to rapidly evolve as government agencies take greater interest in them. As a result, there may be a delay in the receipt of the regulatory approvals tZERO MarketsBSTX requires to operate, if they are received at all. In the event tZERO MarketsBSTX is not able to receive the regulatory approvals it requires to provide the services it intendsbegin operations or there is significant delay in tZERO Markets’BSTX's receipt of such approvals, it may be forced to revise its business plan.anticipated operations. Any such revision could have a material adverse effect on tZERO’s operations and financial condition and a material adverse effect on us.

tZERO Markets intends to be registered as a broker-dealer and would be subject to extensive regulation.

tZERO Markets has applied for regulatory approvals to allow it to conduct certain brokerage and investment banking activities. If these approvals are received, tZERO Markets will become a registered broker-dealer under the Exchange Act and a member of FINRA and will be subject to regulation, examination, investigation and disciplinary action by the SEC, FINRA and other governmental authorities and self-regulatory organizations with which it becomes registered or licensed or of which it becomes a member. In addition, as tZERO Markets intends to provide broker-dealer services that tZERO’s other broker-dealer subsidiaries have not historically provided, certain of these legal and regulatory requirements will be new to tZERO.

Any failure of tZERO Markets to comply with all applicable rules and regulations or satisfy FINRA, the SEC, or any other regulatory authority with which it must comply could have a material adverse effect on tZERO's operations and financial condition and a material adverse effect on us.


Additional Risks Related Primarilyrelated to our Series A-1 Preferred Stock

Our Series A-1 Preferred shares are substantially different from other securities traded in the U.S. public markets and are subject to a variety of unusual restrictions and material risks.

In any such event, or if the PRO Securities ATS or the tZERO Platform were to be unable to operate as a result of intellectual property issues or fail to operate as intended for any other reason, holders of our capital stock, including the Series A-1 Preferred, could lose their entire investment in our capital stock, including all amounts invested in the Series A-1 Preferred.

The Series A-1 Preferred depends on Computershare as the transfer agent for the Series A-1 Preferred.

Computershare serves as the transfer agent for the Series A-1 Preferred. If Computershare were unable or unwilling for any reason to serve as such, trading in the Series A-1 Preferred would be impossible unless we were able to substitute another transfer agent, which would have a material adverse effect on the holders of the Series A-1 Preferred.

The potential application of U.S. laws regarding traditional investment securities to the Series A-1 Preferred is unclear.

Because of the differences between the Series A-1 Preferred and traditional investment securities, there is a risk that issues that might easily be resolved by existing law if traditional securities were involved may not be easily resolved for the Series A-1 Preferred. The occurrence of any such issue or dispute could have a material adverse effect on the holders of Series A-1 Preferred.

The potential application of U.S. laws regarding virtual currencies and money transmission to PRO Securities' use of the Ethereum blockchain is unclear.

The tZERO Platform uses the Ethereum blockchain for certain purposes. None of the parties involved in the operation of the tZERO Platform is licensed under the virtual currency or money transmission regulations of any state in the United States or registered with FinCEN. If any regulatory authority were to assert that the operation of the tZERO Platform requires such licensing or registration, it could have a material adverse effect on the holders of the Series A-1 Preferred.

We have the right to convert the outstanding shares of Series A-1 Preferred into shares of Series B Preferred at any time.

We have the right to convert the Series A-1 Preferred into Series B Preferred at any time, and the terms of the Series B Preferred may be amended at any time without the consent of the holders of the Series A-1 Preferred. Any such conversion and any such amendment of the Series B Preferred could have a material adverse effect on holders of Series A-1 Preferred.

The restrictions on the tax reporting of holder's cost basis in shares of Series A-1 Preferred will not allow normal tax planning in the sale of shares of Series A-1 Preferred and may result in disadvantageous tax consequences to a seller of Series A-1 Preferred.

Only one method of cost basis reporting (the first-in, first-out, or FIFO, method) is available for the Series A-1 Preferred. As a result, sellers of Series A-1 Preferred may be required to pay more tax on their sales or to pay taxes earlier than if other normal methods of cost basis reporting had been available, which could have a material adverse effect on the holders of Series A-1 Preferred.







We could encounter a variety of challenges in connection with the issuance of our Series A-1 Preferred Shares as a dividend.

We recently announced that our Board of Directors has declared a dividend (the "Dividend"), payable on November 15, 2019, in shares of our Series A-1 Preferred Shares. The Dividend will be payable at a ratio of 1:10, meaning that one share of Series A-1 will be issued for every ten shares of common stock, Series A-1 or Voting Series B Preferred Stock held by all holders of such shares as of September 23, 2019, the record date for the Dividend. The Series A-1 Shares received pursuant to the Dividend will initially be subject to trading restrictions. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, recipients of the Series A-1 shares received in the Dividend are expected to be able to trade those securities on the PRO Securities ATS operated by our subsidiary PRO Securities, LLC, through a brokerage account established with Dinosaur Financial Group, LLC ("Dino") or any other broker dealer that serves as an introducing broker on that platform. Currently, Dino is the only broker dealer that operates on the PRO Securities ATS. Unless we designate one or more other such broker dealers, Dino will be required to open tens of thousands of new accounts in a short period of time. Dino may be unable to get all such accounts opened in a timely manner. Further, the issuance of the Series A-1 Shares pursuant to the Dividend will significantly increase the number of outstanding Series A-1 Preferred Shares from approximately 125,000 to approximately 3.8 million. This could result in a substantial increase in trading volume on the PRO Securities ATS once the Dividend Series A-1 Preferred Shares become eligible for trading in accordance with applicable securities laws. This increased volume could cause unforeseen issues with PRO Securities ATS, which has not yet handled such volume levels. Furthermore, since we have not previously issued Series A-1 Preferred Shares on such a wide scale, we could encounter challenges related to dealing with shares held in retirement plans or individual retirement accounts, complying with any applicable foreign law legal requirements or other unforeseen legal and compliance issues.
