WeGo Investment

The Company ~~has~~previously held a minority ~~investment~~share equal to 33.7% in weekengo GmbH ("WeGo"), which the Company sold to trivago N.V. (“trivago”) on December 23, 2020.

The original investment agreement with WeGo was executed in April 2018 (the “Original Investment Agreement”). At that time, Travelzoo invested $3.0 million in WeGo isfor a ~~technology company~~25.0% ownership interest. In April 2019, the Company invested an additional $673,000 in WeGo, which ~~provides~~increased the Company's ownership interest to 26.6%. In February 2020, Travelzoo signed an ~~app~~amended investment agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) with WeGo, whereby the Company received additional shares (resulting in ownership of 33.7%) and ~~a search engine for spontaneous travelers looking for short getaways.~~ in exchange, agreed to invest an additional $1.7 million if and when WeGo met certain performance targets. In connection with the Original Investment Agreement, WeGo agreed to spend approximately $2.1 million with the Company in marketing pursuant to an Insertion Order (the “Insertion Order”) and in connection with the Investment Agreement, WeGo agreed to spend an additional $1.8 million in marketing, once the additional payment was made by the Company (the “Second Insertion Order”).

The Company ~~accounts~~accounted for this private company investment using the equity method of accounting by recording its share of the results of WeGo in “Other income ~~(expense)~~(loss)”, net on a one-quarter lag basis. In accounting for the initial investment, the Company allocated $1.0 million of its purchase price to tangible assets and allocated approximately $485,000 of the purchase price to technology-related intangible assets to be amortized over a ~~three-year~~3-year life. The remaining $1.5 million of the purchase price was allocated to goodwill.

~~In February~~ For the years ended December 31, 2020 ~~Travelzoo signed an amended investment agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) with WeGo~~ and agreed to invest an additional $1.7 million when WeGo meets certain performance targets. The original Investment Agreement with WeGo was executed in April 2018. At that time, Travelzoo invested $3.0 million in WeGo for a 25% ownership interest. In April 2019, the Company invested an additional $673,000 in WeGo and increased the Company's ownership interest to 26.6%.

As of June 30, 2020, WeGo has not met these performance targets and no additional investment has been made by the Company. In connection with the Investment Agreement, WeGo signed an insertion order for $2.1 million in advertising services with Travelzoo in April 2018. The Company's advertising services provided to WeGo in the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were $3,000 and $239,000, respectively. The Company's advertising services provided to WeGo in the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were $360,000 and $794,000, respectively.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded $106,000 and $333,000 for its share of WeGo losses, amortization of basis differences and currency translation adjustment. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recorded ~~$198,000~~$384,000 and ~~$409,000~~$882,000 for its share of WeGo losses, amortization of basis differences and currency translation adjustment. This equity method investment is reported as a long-term investment on the Company's ~~condensed~~ consolidated balance sheets.

As of the date of the transaction with trivago, WeGo had not achieved the necessary performance targets. As part of the Share Purchase Agreement, by and among Travelzoo (Europe) Limited, trivago, and the other shareholders of WeGo (the “trivago SPA”), the obligation of any additional payment by the Company was terminated. Per the trivago SPA, the Company sold all of its shares in WeGo to trivago for a total purchase price of approximately $2.9 million, of which $213,000 was placed in escrow for one year. The Company recorded $468,000 gain in Other income (loss), net. for the sale of WeGo shares in 2020.

The Company’s advertising revenues from WeGo for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were $384,000 and $1.2 million, respectively. WeGo agreed to pay in a lump sum the remaining amount outstanding pursuant to the Insertion Order equal to approximately $200,000. The payment was made and recorded in the first quarter of 2021. The Second Insertion Order and any obligation for additional payments from WeGo for marketing were terminated.

The Company acquired the domain name and trademark “weekend.com” in 2005 which was amortized over five years. Concurrently with the sale of the shares, the Company also sold the domain name and trademark “weekend.com” to trivago in exchange for a payment of $822,000. The Company recorded $822,000 gain in General and administrative for the sale of the domain name and trademark “weekend.com” in 2020.

Jack’s Flight Club

In January 2020, Travelzoo acquired ~~JFC Travel Group Co. (“~~Jack’s Flight ~~Club”),~~Club, which operates Jack’s Flight Club, a subscription service that provides members with information about exceptional airfares. As of June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, Jack’s Flight Club had 1.7 million subscribers. Jack’s Flight Club’s revenues are generated by subscription fees paid by members. In June 2020, the Company renegotiated certain aspects of that certain Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of January 13, 2020 (the “SPA”), by and among Travelzoo, Jack’s Flight Club and the sellers party thereto (the “Sellers”) with the Sellers and reached a settlement for the outstanding Promissory Notes, dated as of January 13, 2020, by and between Travelzoo and each Seller (the “Promissory Notes”).

Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to state fairly the financial position of the Company and its results of operations and cash flows. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes as of and for the year ended December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March ~~20, 2020.~~31, 2021.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The financial results of Jack’s Flight Club

have been included in our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. Investments in entities where the Company does not have control, but does have significant influence, are accounted for as equity method investments.

Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. Significant estimates included in the consolidated financial statements and related notes include revenue recognition, refund liability, income taxes, stock-based compensation, loss contingencies, useful lives of property and equipment, purchase price allocation for the business combination and related impairment assessment, relating to the projections and assumptions used. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2020~~2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, ~~2020~~2021 or any other future period, and the Company makes no representations related thereto.

(b) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which provides new guidance on the measurement of credit losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost, which includes accounts receivable. The new guidance replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of credit losses. This update is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For Smaller Reporting Companies (as such term is defined by the SEC), such as Travelzoo, the standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities are required to apply this update on a modified retrospective basis with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its financial position and results of operations.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” ASU 2017-04 simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment by eliminating the Step 2 requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill. As a result, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill

impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting units' fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 for Smaller Reporting Companies, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company early adopted ASU 2017-04 as of January 1, 2020 and the adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, “Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract.” The new guidance requires a customer in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract to follow the internal-use software guidance in ASC 350-40 to determine which implementation costs to capitalize as assets or expense as incurred. The guidance is effective for calendar-year public business entities in 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Below are a summary of the Company's significant accounting policies. For a comprehensive description of our accounting policies, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2019.~~2020.

Revenue Recognition

The Company follows Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (Topic 606).

Under Topic 606, revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

The Company's revenues are primarily advertising fees generated from the publishing of travel and entertainment deals on the Travelzoo website, in the Top 20 email newsletter, in Newsflash and through the Travelzoo Network. The Company also generates transaction-based revenues from the sale of vouchers through our Local Deals and Getaways products and operation of a hotel booking platform and limited offerings of vacation packages and subscription revenues from Jack's Flight Club. The Company's disaggregated revenues are included in “Note 9: Segment Reporting and Significant Customer Information”.

For fixed-fee website advertising, the Company recognizes revenues ratably over the contracted placement period.

For the Top 20 email newsletter and other email products, the Company recognizes revenues when the emails are delivered to its members.

The Company offers advertising on a cost-per-click basis, which means that an advertiser pays the Company only when a user clicks on an advertisement on Travelzoo properties or Travelzoo Network members’ properties. For these customers, the Company recognizes revenues each time a user clicks on the ad.

The Company also offers advertising on other bases, such as cost-per-impression, which means that an advertiser pays the Company based on the number of times their advertisement is displayed on Travelzoo properties, email advertisements, Travelzoo Network properties, or social media properties. For these customers, the Company recognizes revenues each time an advertisement is shown or email delivered.

For transaction based revenues, including products such as Local Deals, Getaways, hotel platform and vacation packages, the Company evaluates whether it is the principal (i.e., report revenue on a gross basis) versus an agent (i.e., report revenue on a

net basis). The Company reports transaction revenue on a net basis because the supplier is primarily responsible for providing the underlying service, and we do not control the service provided by the supplier prior to its transfer to the customer.

For Local Deals and Getaways products, the Company earns a fee for acting as an agent for the sale of vouchers that can be redeemed for services with third-party merchants. Revenues are presented net of the amounts due to the third-party merchants for fulfilling the underlying services and an estimated amount for future refunds. Since the second quarter of 2020, the Company expanded its vouchers refund policy in order to entice customers given the current economic climate to fully refundable until the voucher expires or is redeemed by the customer. Certain merchant contracts allow the Company to retain the proceeds from unredeemed vouchers. With these contracts, the Company estimates the value of vouchers that will ultimately not be redeemed and records the estimate as revenues in the same period

Jack’s Flight Club revenue is generated from paid subscriptions by members. Subscription options are quarterly, semi-annually, and annually. We recognize the revenue on a pro-rated basis based upon the subscription option.

Commission revenue related to hotel platform is recognized ratably over the period of guest stay, net of an allowance for cancellations based upon historical patterns. For arrangements for booking non-cancelable reservations where the Company’s performance obligation is deemed to be the successful booking of a hotel reservation, we record revenue for the commissions upon completion of the hotel booking.

The Company’s contracts with customers may include multiple performance obligations in which the Company allocates revenues to each performance obligation based upon its standalone selling price. The Company determines standalone selling price based on its overall pricing objectives, taking into consideration the type of services, geographical region of the customers, normal rate card pricing and customary discounts. Standalone selling price is generally determined based on the prices charged to customers when the product is sold separately.

The Company relies upon the following practical expedients and exemptions allowed for in the ASC 606. The Company expenses sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period would be one year or less. These costs are recorded in sales and marketing expenses. In addition, the Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (a) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and (b) contracts for which it recognizes revenues at the amount to which it has the right to invoice for services performed.

Deferred revenue primarily consists of customer prepayments and undelivered performance obligations related to the Company’s contracts with multiple performance obligations. At December 31, 2020, $1.3 million was recorded as deferred revenue for Travelzoo North America and Travelzoo Europe, of which $595,000 was recognized as revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2021. At June 30, 2021, the deferred revenue balance was $2.2 million, of which $756,000 was for Travelzoo North America and Travelzoo Europe and $1.5 million was for Jack's Flight Club.

Reserve for Refunds to Members

The Company records an estimated reserve for refunds to members based on our historical experience at the time revenue is recorded for Local Deals and Getaways voucher sales. We consider many key factors such as the historical refunds based upon the time lag since the sale, historical reasons for refunds, time period that remains until the deal expiration date, any changes in refund procedures and estimates of redemptions and breakage.

For publishing revenue, we recognize revenue upon delivery of the emails and delivery of the clicks, over the period of the placement of the advertising. Insertion orders for publishing revenue are typically for periods between one month and twelve months and are not automatically renewed. For Getaways vouchers, we recognize a percentage of the face value of the vouchers upon the sale of the vouchers. Merchant agreements for Getaways advertisers are typically for periods between twelve months and twenty-four months and are not automatically renewed. Since the second quarter of 2020, the Company expanded its vouchers refund policy in order to entice customers given the current economic climate to fully refundable until the voucher expires or is redeemed by the customer. The Company now offers fully refundable refunds for vouchers that have not been redeemed or expired. The expiration dates of vouchers range between July 2021 through December 2023. The revenues generated from Local Deals vouchers and entertainment offers are based upon a percentage of the face value of the vouchers, commission on actual sales or a listing fee based on audience reach. For Local Deals vouchers, we recognize a percentage of the face value of vouchers upon the sale of the vouchers. The Company estimated the refund reserve by using historical and current refund rates by product and by merchant location to calculate the estimated future refunds. As of June 30, 2021 the Company had approximately $20.5 million of unredeemed vouchers that had been sold through June 30, 2021 representing the Company’s commission earned from the sale. The Company had estimated a refund liability of $3.7 million for these unredeemed vouchers as of June 30, 2021 which is recorded as a reduction of revenues and is reflected as a current liability in Accrued expenses and other on the consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had approximately $15.2 million of unredeemed vouchers that had been sold during 2020 representing the Company’s commission earned from the

sale and estimated a refund liability of $3.9 million for these unredeemed vouchers as of December 31, 2020 which is recorded as a reduction of revenues and is reflected as a current liability in Accrued expenses and other on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company has recorded Merchant Payables of $82.2 million as of June 30, 2021 related to unredeemed vouchers. Insertion orders and merchant agreements for Local are typically for periods between one month and twelve months and are not automatically renewed except for merchant contracts in foreign locations. Should any of these factors change, the estimates made by management will also change, which could impact the level of our future reserve for refunds to member. Specifically, if the financial condition of our advertisers, the business that is providing the vouchered service, were to deteriorate, affecting their ability to provide the services to our members, additional reserves for refunds to members may be required.

Estimated member refunds that are determined to be recoverable from the merchant are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations as a reduction to revenue. We accrue costs associated with refunds in accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets. Estimated member refunds that are determined not to be recoverable from the merchant, are presented as a cost of revenue. If our judgments regarding estimated member refunds are inaccurate, reported results of operations could differ from the amount we previously accrued.

Business Combinations

The purchase price of an acquisition is allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. To the extent the purchase price exceeds the fair value of the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, such excess is allocated to goodwill. The Company determines the estimated fair values after review and consideration of relevant information, including discounted cash flows, quoted market prices and estimates made by management. The Company records the net assets and results of operations of an acquired entity from the acquisition date and adjusts the preliminary purchase price allocation, as necessary, during the measurement period of up to one year after the acquisition closing date as it obtains more information as to facts and circumstances existing at the acquisition date impacting asset valuations and liabilities assumed. Acquisition-related costs are recognized separately from the acquisition and are expensed as incurred.

Identifiable intangible assets

Upon acquisition, identifiable intangible assets are recorded at fair value and are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Identifiable intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The carrying values of all intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The Company evaluated intangible assets in the first quarter of 2020 due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and recorded an impairment expense of $810,000. The Company performed its annual test as of October 31, 2020 and no impairment charge was identified in connection with the annual impairment test. The Company did not identify any indicators of impairment during the ~~three~~six months ended June 30, ~~2020.~~2021.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an acquired business over the fair value of the underlying net tangible and intangible assets. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment annually, and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. In testing goodwill for impairment, the Company first uses a qualitative assessment to evaluate whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than the carrying amount. If the qualitative assessment indicates that goodwill impairment is more likely than not, the Company performs an impairment test by comparing the book value of net assets to the fair value of the reporting units. The Company evaluated goodwill in the first quarter of 2020 due to the ~~COVID-19~~global pandemic and recorded an impairment expense of $2.1 million. The Company performed its annual impairment test as of October 31, 2020 and no impairment charge was identified in connection with the annual impairment test. The Company did not identify any indicators of impairment during the ~~three~~six months ended June 30, ~~2020.~~2021.

Operating Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at inception. Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. The lease payments used to determine the operating lease assets may include lease incentives and stated rent increases. The Company does not include options to extend or terminate until it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the lease liabilities as the Company’s leases generally do not provide an implicit rate. The Company elected not to recognize leases with an initial term of 12 months or less on its unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

1113

The Company’s leases are reflected in operating lease ROU assets, operating lease liabilities and long-term operating lease liabilities in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company also has a real estate lease agreement which is subleased to a third party. The Company recognizes sublease income in “Other income ~~(expense)~~(loss), net”, on a straight-line basis over the lease term in its condensed consolidated statements of income.

Certain Risks and Uncertainties

The Company’s business is subject to risks associated with its ability to attract and retain advertisers and offer products or services on compelling terms to our members. The global ~~outbreak of COVID-19~~pandemic is having an unprecedented impact on the global travel and hospitality industries. Governmental authorities have implemented numerous measures to try to contain the virus, including restrictions on travel, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders, business restrictions and complete shut-downs. The measures implemented to contain ~~COVID-19~~the global pandemic have had, and are expected to continue to have, a significant negative effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

The Company’s cash, cash equivalents and accounts receivable are potentially subject to concentration of credit risk. Cash and cash equivalents are placed with financial institutions that the management believes are of high credit quality. The accounts receivables are derived from revenue earned from customers located in the U.S. and internationally. ~~During~~Since the ~~six months ended June 30,~~second quarter of 2020, the Company experienced the adverse impact of ~~COVID-19.~~the global pandemic. Many of the Company's advertising partners paused, canceled, and stopped advertising with the Company. Additionally, there has been a significant level of cancellations for the Company's hotel partners and travel package partners as well as refund requests for our vouchers with the Company’s restaurant and spa partners. The Company has modified its policies and will continue to adopt new policies as the situation evolves. However, the uncertainties of the pandemic, such as its duration and severity, will likely negatively impact and continue to negatively impact our partners and ~~customers.~~customers. As of June 30, ~~2020~~2021, we had negative working capital of $12.7 million primarily due to an increase in accounts payable related to merchants from the sale of vouchers. The payable to merchants is generally due upon redemption of the vouchers. The vouchers have maturities that begin in July 2021 through December 2023, and we believe that redemption patterns may be delayed for international vouchers under the current environment. Based on current projections of redemption activity, we expect that cash on hand as of June 30, 2021 will be sufficient to provide for working capital needs for at least the next twelve months. However, if redemption activity is more accelerated, or if we are not able to reduce our operating losses, we may need to obtain additional financing to meet our working capital needs in the future. We believe that we could obtain additional financing if needed, but there can be no assurance that financing will be available on terms that are acceptable to us, if at all. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, the Company did not have any customers that accounted for 10% or more of accounts receivable.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less on the date of purchase. Restricted cash includes cash and cash equivalents that is restricted through legal contracts, regulations or our intention to use the cash for a specific purpose. Our restricted cash primarily relates to ~~cash~~refundable deposits and funds held ~~for letters of credit for real estate leases.~~in escrow.

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets to the total amounts shown in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows:


		June 30,		December 31,			June 30,		December 31,

The Company’s restricted cash was included in noncurrent assets as of June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and December 31, ~~2019.~~

~~Revenue Recognition~~

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (Topic 606), using the modified retrospective transition method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018.

~~The Company's revenues are primarily advertising fees generated from the publishing of travel and entertainment deals on the~~ ~~Travelzoo~~ ~~website, in the~~ ~~Top 20~~ ~~email newsletter, in~~ ~~Newsflash~~ ~~and through the~~ ~~Travelzoo Network. The Company also generates transaction-based revenues from the sale of vouchers through our~~ ~~Local Deals~~ ~~and~~ ~~Getaways~~ products and operation of a hotel booking platform and limited offerings of vacation packages. The Company's disaggregated revenues are included in “Note 9: Segment Reporting and Significant Customer Information”.

~~For fixed-fee website advertising, the Company recognizes revenues ratably over the contracted placement period.~~2020.

1214

~~For the~~ ~~Top 20~~ ~~email newsletter and other email products, the Company recognizes revenues when the emails are delivered to its members.~~

~~The Company offers advertising on a cost-per-click basis, which means that an advertiser pays the Company only when a user clicks on an advertisement on Travelzoo properties or~~ ~~Travelzoo Network~~ ~~members’ properties. For these customers, the Company recognizes revenues each time a user clicks on the ad.~~

The Company also offers advertising on other bases, such as cost-per-impression, which means that an advertiser pays the Company based on the number of times their advertisement is displayed on Travelzoo properties, email advertisements, ~~Travelzoo Network~~ ~~properties, or social media properties. For these customers, the Company recognizes revenues each time an advertisement is shown or email delivered.~~

~~For transaction based revenues, including products such as~~ ~~Local Deals, Getaways,~~ hotel platform and vacation packages, the Company evaluates whether it is the principal (i.e., report revenue on a gross basis) versus an agent (i.e., report revenue on a net basis). The Company reports transaction revenue on a net basis because the supplier is primarily responsible for providing the underlying service, and we do not control the service provided by the supplier prior to its transfer to the customer.

~~For~~ ~~Local Deals~~ ~~and~~ ~~Getaways~~ products, the Company earns a fee for acting as an agent for the sale of vouchers that can be redeemed for services with third-party merchants. Revenues are presented net of the amounts due to the third-party merchants for fulfilling the underlying services and an estimated amount for future refunds. Certain merchant contracts allow the Company to retain the proceeds from unredeemed vouchers. With these contracts, the Company estimates the value of vouchers that will ultimately not be redeemed and records the estimate in the same period as the voucher sale.

Deferred revenue primarily consists of customer prepayments and undelivered performance obligations related to the Company’s contracts with multiple performance obligations. At December 31, 2019, $786,000 was recorded as deferred revenue, of which $31,000 and $327,000 was recognized as revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.

Note 2: Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share is computed by adjusting the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares included in the diluted calculation consist of incremental shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options calculated using the treasury stock method.

The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share (in thousands, except per share amounts):

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, options to purchase 50,000 shares and 3.4 million shares of common stock, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted net income ~~per share because of the net loss. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, options to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock were not included in the computation of diluted net income~~(loss) per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Note 3: Acquisition

On January 13, 2020, Travelzoo entered into the SPA with the shareholders of Jack’s Flight Club for the purchase of up to 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Jack’s Flight Club (the “Shares”). Pursuant to the SPA, on January 13, 2020, the Sellers sold 60% of the Shares to the Company for an aggregate purchase price of $12.0 million, $1.0 million of which was paid in cash and $11.0 million of which was paid in Promissory Notes. The Promissory Notes contain an interest rate of 1.6% per annum and a due date of January 31, 2020, with a one-time right to extend the maturity date up to April 30, 2020 with a principal payment of $1.0 million on January 31, 2020, which the Company exercised. The remaining 40% of the Shares are subject to a call/put option exercisable by the Company or the Sellers, as applicable, on or around January 1, 2021, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the SPA. The results of Jack's Flight Club in 2020 did not meet the thresholds required for the put/call option to be exercisable.

On June 3, 2020, the Company renegotiated the SPA with the Sellers of Jack’s Flight Club and reached a negotiated settlement. The Company recorded adjustments accordingly, however, these adjustments are not considered measurement period adjustments to the purchase consideration since there is not a clear and direct link to the consideration transferred in the SPA entered into on January 13, 2020.

The strategic rationale for the Jack’s Flight Club acquisition was to expand Jack’s Flight Club’s membership to Travelzoo members worldwide, so the members from Travelzoo could also sign up to receive offers from Jack’s Flight Club.

The acquisition has been accounted for using the acquisition method in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total purchase consideration of the acquisition is allocated to the tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities assumed based

on their relative fair values. The excess of the purchase consideration over the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets is recorded as goodwill. The acquisition related costs were not significant and were expensed as incurred.

Purchase Price Allocation

The purchase price allocation is based on estimates, assumptions and third-party valuations. The aggregate purchase price and allocation was as follows (in thousands):


Purchase Price	Jack’s Flight Club
Cash paid	$	1,000
Promissory notes issued	10,931
Fair Value of Put/Call Option	183
	$	12,114

Allocation
Goodwill	$	13,054
Intangible assets
Customer relationships	3,500
Trade name	2,460
Non-compete agreements	660

Current assets acquired, including cash of $321	324
Current liabilities assumed	(40)
Deferred revenue	(881)
Deferred tax liabilities	(1,391)
Non-controlling interest	(5,572)
	$	12,114

The Company determined the estimated fair value of the put/call option using the Monte Carlo Simulation approach and the identifiable intangible assets acquired primarily using the income approach. Non-controlling interests represent third-party shareholders and are measured at fair value on the date acquired.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Company’s share of the identifiable net assets of the acquired subsidiary. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment annually, and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. The Company determined that the ~~COVID-19~~global pandemic was a triggering event requiring the Company to assess its long-lived assets including goodwill for impairment. The Company performed an impairment test during the first quarter of 2020 and during the fourth quarter of 2020 by comparing the carrying value of Jack’s Flight Club net assets to the fair value of the Jack’s Flight Club reporting unit based on an updated discounted cash flow analysis. The fair value of the Jack’s Flight Club reporting unit was determined to be less than the carrying value, and the difference between the estimated fair value of goodwill and the carrying value was recorded as goodwill ~~impairment.~~impairment of $2.1 million. The Company also performed an ASC 360 analysis for long-lived assets noting no impairment of such assets based on the undiscounted cash flows of the Jack’s Flight Club asset group. The Company first impaired indefinite lived intangible assets (“Trade name”) for $810,000 before impairing goodwill.

The following table ~~summarizes~~summarizes the goodwill activity for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2020 (in thousands):


Goodwill—January 1, 2020	$	—0
Acquisition	13,054
~~Impairment~~Impairment—March 31, 2020	(2,110)
Goodwill—~~June 3,~~March 31, 2020	$	10,944

There has been no change in goodwill for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and no changes since March 31, 2020.

Intangible Assets

The following table represents the fair value and estimated useful lives of intangible assets (in thousands):


	Fair Value		Estimated Life (Years)
Customer relationships	$	3,500	5
Trade name	2,460		indefinite
Non-compete agreements	660		4

The fair value of intangible assets of $6.6 million has been allocated to the following three asset categories: 1) customer relationships, 2) trade name, and 3) non-compete agreements. These assets are included within “Intangible assets” on our consolidated balance sheets. Customer relationships and non-compete agreements are being amortized to operating expenses over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line basis for non-compete agreements or on an accelerated basis for customer relationships.

The following table represents the activities of intangible assets for the ~~three and~~ six months ended June 30, ~~2020~~2021 (in thousands):


	Fair Value
Intangible assets—January 1, 2020	$	—0
Acquisition	6,620
Impairment of trade name	(810)
Amortization of intangible assets with definite lives	~~(215)~~(1,276)

Amortization of intangible assets with definite lives	(275)
Intangible assets- June 30, ~~2020~~2021	$	~~5,200~~3,975

Amortization expense for acquired intangibles was $275,000 and $395,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Amortization expense for acquired intangibles was $559,000 and $610,000 for the ~~three and~~ six months ended June 30, ~~2020.~~2021 and 2020, respectively. Expected future amortization expense of acquired intangible assets as of June 30, ~~2020~~2021 is as follows (in thousands):


Years ending December 31,	Years ending December 31,			Years ending December 31,
2020 remainder		$	666
2021		1,108
2021 remainder				2021 remainder	$	549

Thereafter		10
2025				2025	10
		$	3,550		$	2,325

As previously discussed in “Goodwill”, the Company's impairment test indicated that Jack’s Flight Club’s indefinite lived intangible assets (“Trade name”) was impaired for $810,000 for the first quarter of 2020. The Company performed its annual

impairment testing of Trade name during the fourth fiscal quarter and did not identify any additional impairment in 2020. The Company did not identify any indicators of impairment during the ~~three~~six months ended June 30, ~~2020.~~2021.

Unaudited Pro Forma Information

The acquired company was consolidated into our financial statements starting on the acquisition date. The unaudited financial information in the table below summarizes the combined results of operations of Travelzoo and Jack’s Flight Club, on a pro forma basis, as though the companies had been combined as of the beginning of the fiscal year presented. The debt was issued to finance the acquisition of Jack’s Flight Club. The unaudited pro forma information has been calculated after applying the Company’s accounting policies and includes adjustments to reflect the amortization charges from acquired intangible assets, adjustments to deferred revenue, interest expense and related tax effects. The unaudited pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes only and is not indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of the fiscal year presented.

Jack's Flight Club Settlement

On June 3, 2020, the Company and the Seller renegotiated the SPA. Pursuant to the original terms of the outstanding Promissory Notes, the Company owed $10.0 million plus interest (the “Outstanding Amount”) to the Sellers on April 30, 2020. On June 3, 2020, the parties reached a negotiated settlement for the Outstanding Amount with the following terms: (a) $1.5 million was forgiven in settlement of certain outstanding indemnification claims disputed by the Sellers; (b) $6.8 million, plus accrued interest, was paid to the Sellers by Travelzoo, and (c) the remaining $1.7 million to be paid by June 2021 pursuant to new promissory notes with each of the Sellers that contain a 12% interest rate. ~~For the three months ended~~ ~~June 30, 2020, the~~The Company recorded ~~$1.5~~$1.5 million gain in “General and administrative expenses” for the partial forgiveness of the outstanding ~~loan.~~ ~~Interest~~loan in the second quarter of 2020. The $1.7 million new promissory notes was paid off in October 2020. Total interest expense for the Promissory Notes of $142,000 was ~~$79,000 and $154,000 for the~~ ~~three and six months ended~~ ~~June 30, 2020, respectively.~~recorded in Other income (loss), net in 2020.

Travelzoo also agreed that the additional payment set forth in the SPA (equal to 20% of 2020 net income) would be payable to the Sellers regardless of whether EBITDA targets are achieved and the put/call is exercised in 2021. The Company estimated ~~the total payment~~ and ~~recorded~~accrued $448,000 ~~expense~~ in “General and administrative expenses” ~~for~~in 2020. $492,000 was paid to the ~~three months ended~~ ~~June 30, 2020.~~Sellers during the first quarter of 2021 relating to this agreement.

The parties also agreed to a new put/call option exercisable in 2022 by the Sellers or Travelzoo, as applicable, only if the put/call option for 2021 as set forth in the SPA is not exercised, with a EBITDA threshold of $4.3 million and a purchase price equal to 40% of 2021 EBITDA multiplied by 3.5, and an additional payment equal to 20% of 2021 net income if the EBITDA threshold is achieved. The Company re-evaluated the fair value of the put/call option by using the Monte Carlo Simulation approach and ~~the identifiable intangible assets acquired primarily by using the income approach and~~ determined that the extension of the one year period did not change the fair value of the put/call option materially.

Note 4: Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time, the Company is subject to various claims and legal proceedings, either asserted or unasserted, that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues for legal contingencies if the Company can estimate the potential liability and if the Company believes it is probable that the case will be ruled against it. If a legal claim for which the Company did not accrue is resolved against it, the Company would record the expense in the period in which the ruling was made. The Company believes that the likelihood of an ultimate amount of liability, if any, for any pending claims of any type (alone or combined) that will materially affect the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows is remote. The ultimate outcome of any litigation is uncertain, however, and unfavorable outcomes could have a material negative impact on the Company’s financial condition and operating results. Regardless of outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on the Company because of defense costs, negative publicity, diversion of management resources and other factors.

The Company was formed as a result of a combination and merger of entities founded by the Company’s principal shareholder, Ralph Bartel. In 2002, Travelzoo.com Corporation (“Netsurfers”) was merged into the Company. Under and subject to the terms of the merger agreement, holders of promotional shares of Netsurfers who established that they had satisfied certain prerequisite qualifications were allowed a period of 2 years following the effective date of the merger to receive 1 share of the Company in exchange for each share of common stock of Netsurfers. In 2004, two years following the effective date of the merger, certain promotional shares remained unexchanged. As the right to exchange these promotional shares expired, no additional shares were reserved for issuance. Thereafter, the Company began to offer a voluntary cash program for those who established that they had satisfied certain prerequisite qualifications for Netsurfers promotional shares as further described below.

During 2010 through 2014, the Company became subject to unclaimed property audits of various states in the United States related to the above unexchanged promotional shares and completed settlements with all states. Although the Company has settled the unclaimed property claims with all states, the Company may still receive inquiries from certain potential Netsurfers promotional shareholders that had not provided their state of residence to the Company by April 25, 2004. Therefore, the Company is continuing its voluntary program under which it makes cash payments to individuals related to the promotional shares for individuals whose residence was unknown by the Company and who establish that they satisfy the original conditions required for them to receive shares of Netsurfers, and who failed to submit requests to convert their shares into shares of Travelzoo within the required time period. This voluntary program is not available for individuals whose promotional shares have been escheated to a state by the Company, except those individuals for which their residence was unknown to the Company. The Company did not make any payments for the six months ended June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019.~~

2020.

The total cost of this program cannot be reliably estimated because it is based on the ultimate number of valid requests received and future levels of the Company’s common stock price. The Company’s common stock price affects the liability because the amount of cash payments under the program is based in part on the recent level of the stock price at the date valid requests are received. The Company does not know how many of the requests for shares originally received by Netsurfers in 1998 were valid, but the Company believes that only a portion of such requests were valid. In order to receive payment under this voluntary program, a person is required to establish that such person validly held shares in Netsurfers.

The Company ~~has promissory notes payable related~~leases office space in Canada, France, Germany, Spain, the U.K., and the U.S. under operating leases. Our leases have remaining lease terms ranging from less than one year to ~~the acquisition of Jack’s Flight Club. The Company also has PPP notes payable for funds received under the PPP program. Refer~~up to ~~Note 1 and Note 3 for further information. The Company also has operating leases.~~nine years. Refer to Note 11 for ~~contractual commitments~~Leases as of June 30, ~~2020.~~

~~Local Deals~~ ~~and~~ ~~Getaways~~ ~~merchant payables~~2021. The Company maintains several standby letters of credit (“LOC”) to serve as collateral issued to certain landlords. The LOCs are collateralized with cash which is included in ~~accounts payable were $20.8 million and $6.1~~the line item “Restricted cash” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company has purchase commitments aggregating approximately $3.6 million as of June 30, ~~2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.~~2021, which represent the minimum obligations the Company has under agreements with certain suppliers. These minimum obligations are less than the Company's projected use for those periods. Payments may be more than the minimum obligations based on actual use.

Note 5: Income Taxes

Ordinarily, in determining the quarterly provisions for income taxes, the Company uses an estimated annual effective tax rate, which is generally based on our expected annual income and statutory tax rates in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K. Due to the ~~COVID-19~~global pandemic, and difficulty forecasting the calendar year ~~2020~~2021 of income (loss) by jurisdiction, we determined the estimated annual effective rate method would not provide a reliable estimate of the Company’s overall annual effective tax rate. As such, we have calculated the tax provision using the actual ~~effective~~effective rate for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The Company's effective tax rate from continuing operations was 27% and 19%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. The Company's effective tax rate from continuing operations was ~~19%~~58% and ~~26%~~15%, respectively, for the ~~three~~six months ended June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019.~~2020. The Company's effective tax rate ~~from continuing operations was 15% and 25%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.The Company's effective tax rate decreased~~increased for the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2020~~2021 from the corresponding three and six months ended June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, primarily due to ~~operating losses not benefited.~~changes in deferred tax assets from limitations on deductible stock-based compensation.

As of June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company is permanently reinvested in certain of its non-U.S. subsidiaries and does not have a deferred tax liability related to its undistributed foreign earnings. The estimated amount of the unrecognized deferred tax liability attributed to future withholding taxes on dividend distributions of undistributed earnings for certain non-U.S. subsidiaries, which the Company intends to reinvest the related earnings indefinitely in its operations outside the U.S., is approximately ~~$467,000.~~$690,000.

The Company maintains liabilities for uncertain tax positions. At June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company had approximately ~~$152,000~~$901,000 in total unrecognized tax benefits, which if recognized, would favorably affect the Company’s effective income tax rate.

The Company’s policy is to include interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax positions in income tax expense. To the extent accrued interest and penalties do not ultimately become payable, amounts accrued will be reduced and reflected as a reduction in the overall income tax provision in the period that such determination is made. At June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, the Company had approximately ~~$222,000~~$263,000 and ~~$207,000~~$235,000 in accrued interest, and $59,000 and $0 in accrued penalties, respectively.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various U.S. states and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is subject to U.S. federal and certain state tax examinations for certain years ~~after 2016~~from 2017 and forward and is subject to California tax examinations for years after ~~2015.~~2016.

We do not know what our income taxes will be in future periods. There may be fluctuations that have a material impact on our results of operations. Our income taxes are dependent on numerous factors such as the geographic mix of our taxable income, federal and state and foreign country tax law and regulations and changes thereto, the determination of whether valuation allowances for certain tax assets are required or not, audits of prior years' tax returns resulting in adjustments, resolution of uncertain tax positions and different treatment for certain items for tax versus books. We expect fluctuations in our income taxes from year to year and from quarter to ~~quarter.~~quarter. Some of the fluctuations may be significant and have a material impact on our results of operations.

On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the CARES Act, which, along with earlier issued IRS guidance, provides for deferral of certain taxes. The CARES Act, among other things, also contains numerous other provisions which may benefit the Company. We continue to assess the effect of the CARES Act and ongoing government guidance related to ~~COVID-19~~the global pandemic that may be issued.

On June 3, 2020, the parties reached a negotiated settlement: (a) $1.5 million was forgiven in settlement of certain outstanding indemnification claims disputed by the Sellers; (b) $6.8 million, plus accrued interest, was paid to the Sellers by Travelzoo, and (c) the remaining $1.7 million to be paid by June 2021 pursuant to new promissory notes with each of the Sellers that contain a 12% interest rate $6.8 million and the accrued interest was paid in the second quarter of 2020, the remaining $1.7 million promissory

note and the accrued interest was paid in the fourth quarter of 2020. Total interest expense for the Promissory Notes of $142,000 was paid and recorded in Other income (loss), net in 2020.

On April 24, 2020 and May 5, 2020, the Company received $3.1 million and $535,000, respectively, pursuant to loans under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) administered by the Small Business Association. The loans have a maturity of two (2) years from the disbursement of the funds and an annual interest rate of 1%. The Company used the funds from these loans only for the purposes included in the PPP, including payroll, employee benefits, and rent, and also intends to apply for forgiveness of a portion of the loans in compliance with the CARES Act. Interest expense of $25,000 for the PPP notes payable in 2020 was recorded in Other income (loss), net. In the second quarter of 2021, the Company settled the $535,000 PPP loan, $429,000 was forgiven which was recorded as gain in “Other income (loss), net”, the remaining outstanding balance of the loan and interest of $111,000 was paid off. As of June 30, 2021, the $3.1 million PPP loan was still outstanding and was recorded as Notes payable. On July 1, 2021, the principal and the interest of the $3.1 million PPP loan were forgiven and a gain will be recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2021. It is possible that the SBA could subsequently audit the forgiven loans. The Company believes it was eligible to participate in PPP, calculated the loan amount correctly, spent loan proceeds on allowable uses, and is entitled to loan forgiveness. The Company will hold onto its financial documents relating to the PPP loans for six years.

On March 12, 2021, the Company, with the approval of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, entered into a License Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Azzurro Brands Inc., a New York corporation (“Azzurro Brands”) that is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Azzurro Capital Inc., the Company’s largest shareholder. Pursuant to the terms of the License Agreement, the Company was granted the exclusive right and license to use a database of 2.2 million subscribers that Azzurro Brands purchased from a competitor of Travelzoo. The License Agreement requires that the Company pay a license fee of $413,000 per quarter with an initial payment of $894,000 due upon execution, which covers the period from execution until September 30, 2021 and the payment was made in the first quarter of 2021.

The License Agreement has a term of one (1) year with an automatic renewal, terminable by either party with sixty (60) days’ written notice before the end of the term.

Stock Repurchase Agreement

Travelzoo, from time to time, engages in share repurchases, and on March 27, 2021, the Company entered into a Stock Repurchase Agreement (the “SRA”) with Holger Bartel, the Company's Global Chief Executive Officer, to repurchase an aggregate of 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $15.83 per share. The SRA provides that the purchase price is based on the 10-day volume weighted average price calculated using the VWAP function on Bloomberg, from the dates of March 15, 2021 through and including March 26, 2021, less a 5% discount. The aggregate purchase price of $1.6 million was paid on the first business day following the execution of the SRA.

Prior to the execution of the SRA and because Mr. Bartel is an executive officer of the Company, the Company’s Board of Directors and Audit Committee of the Board of Directors delegated to its Compensation Committee, which consists of independent and disinterested directors, the exclusive power and authority to determine whether any potential transaction to acquire shares from Mr. Bartel was advisable, fair to and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, other than Mr. Bartel. In connection with its determination, the Compensation Committee engaged independent legal counsel and an independent financial advisor and unanimously approved the SRA. The SRA contains customary terms for transactions of this type, including, but not limited to, representations and warranties made by the Company and Mr. Bartel.

Note 14: Subsequent Event

In July 2021, Mr. Holger Bartel, the Company's Global Chief Executive, exercised an aggregate of 400,000 options using cashless exercise and withholding shares for taxes. 247,234 shares of common stock were withheld for option exercise price and taxes, and 152,766 shares of common stock were issued.

In March 2020, Travelzoo exited its loss-making Asia Pacific business. The Company’s Asia Pacific business was classified as discontinued operations at March 31, 2020. Prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the current presentation. On June 16, 2020, in connection with its Asia Pacific exit plan, the Company completed a sale of 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Travelzoo Japan K.K to Buyer for consideration of JPY1. The Company recorded approximately $128,000 loss on disposal of Japan ~~in the~~ ~~Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. The parties also~~April 2018, we entered into an agreement with WeekenGO (“WeGo”), a ~~License Agreement, whereby the Buyer obtained a license~~start-up company in Germany. WeGo uses new technology to use intellectual property from Travelzoo exclusively in Japan in exchange for quarterly royalty payments based on revenue over a 5 year term, with an option to renew. An interest free loan was provided to the Buyer for JPY46.0 million (approximately $430,000) to be repaid over 3 years which the Company recorded as other assets ~~on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2020.~~

The Company has a minority investment in weekengo GmbH ("WeGo"). WeGo is a technology company which provides an app and a search engine for spontaneous travelers looking for short getaways. The Company accounts for this private company investment using the equity method of accounting by recording its share of the results of WeGo in “Other income (expense)”, net on a one-quarter lag basis. In accounting for the initial investment, the Company allocated $1.0 million of its purchase price to tangible assets and allocated approximately $485,000 of the purchase price to technology-related intangible assets to be amortized over a three-year life. The remaining $1.5 million of the purchase price was allocated to goodwill.

In February 2020, Travelzoo signed an amended investment agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) with WeGo and agreed to invest an additional $1.7 million when WeGo meets certain performance targets. The original Investment Agreement with WeGo was executed in April 2018. At that time, Travelzoopromote vacation packages.

In April 2019, the Company invested an additional $673,000 in WeGo and increased the Company's ownership interest to 26.6%.

~~As of June 30,~~ On February 11, 2020, Travelzoo signed an amended investment agreement with WeGo ~~has not met these~~and agreed to invest an additional $1.7 million to increase the Company's ownership interest to 33.7% if WeGo meets certain performance ~~targets~~targets. In connection with the Original Investment Agreement, WeGo agreed to spend approximately $2.1 million with the Company in marketing pursuant to an Insertion Order (the “Insertion Order”) and ~~no additional investment has been made by the Company.

As of the date of the transaction with trivago, WeGo had not achieved the necessary performance targets. WeGo also agreed to pay in a lump sum the remaining amount outstanding pursuant to the Insertion Order, equal to approximately $200,000.

In January 2020, Travelzoo acquired Jack’s Flight Club, which operates Jack’s Flight Club, a subscription service that provides members with information about exceptional airfares. As of June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, Jack’s Flight Club had 1.7 million subscribers. Jack’s Flight Club’s revenues are generated by subscription fees paid by members.

Historically, the Company managed its business geographically and operated in three reportable segments including Asia Pacific, Europe and North America. ~~During~~In the ~~three and six months ended June 30,~~first quarter of 2020, the Company classified the results of its Asia Pacific segment as discontinued operations in its ~~condensed~~ consolidated financial statements for current and prior periods presented. On January 13, 2020, Travelzoo entered into a Sales Purchase Agreement with the Sellers of Jack’s Flight Club to purchase 60% of the Shares. Upon the acquisition, the Company's chief operating decision maker reviewed and evaluated Jack’s Flight Club as a separate segment. Travelzoo currently has three reportable operating segments: Travelzoo North America, Travelzoo Europe and Jack’s Flight Club. Travelzoo North America consists of the Company’s operations in Canada and the U.S. Travelzoo Europe consists of the Company’s operations in France, Germany, Spain, and the UK.

When evaluating the financial condition and operating performance of the Company, management focuses on financial and non-financial indicators such as growth in the number of members to the Company’s newsletters, operating margin, growth in revenues in the absolute and relative to the growth in reach of the Company’s publications measured as revenue per member and revenue per employee as a measure of productivity. The Company’s Asia Pacific business was classified as discontinued operations as of March 31, 2020. Prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the current presentation for all periods presented.

How We Generate Revenues

Travelzoo

Revenues from the Travelzoo brand and business are generated primarily from advertising fees from two categories of revenue: Travel and Local.

The “Travel” category consists of advertising or publishing revenues, primarily of(a) listing fees paid by travel companies for the publishing of their offers on Travelzoo’s media properties and (b) commission from the sale of Getaways vouchers. Listing fees are based on audience reach, placement, number of listings, number of impressions, number of clicks, and actual sales. For publishing revenue, we recognize revenue upon delivery of the emails and delivery of the clicks, over the period of the placement of the advertising. Insertion orders for publishing revenue are typically for periods between one month and twelve months and are not automatically renewed. For Getaways vouchers, we recognize a percentage of the face value of the vouchers upon the sale of the vouchers. Merchant agreements for Getaways advertisers are typically for periods between twelve months and twenty-four months and are not automatically renewed. Since the second quarter of 2020, the Company expanded its vouchers refund policy in order to entice customers given the current economic climate to fully refundable until the voucher expires or is redeemed by the customer. The Company now offers fully refundable refunds for vouchers that have not been redeemed or expired. The expiration dates of vouchers range between April 2021 through June 2023. The Company estimated the refund reserve by using historical and current refund rates by product and by merchant location to calculate the estimated future refunds. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had approximately $20.5 million of unredeemed vouchers that had been sold during 2020 representing the Company’s commission earned from the sale. The Company had estimated a refund liability of $3.7 million for these unredeemed vouchers as of June 30, 2021 which is recorded as a reduction of revenues and is reflected as a current liability in Accrued expenses and other on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company has recorded Merchant Payables of $82.2 million as of June 30, 2021 related to unredeemed vouchers. Certain merchant contracts ~~in foreign locations~~ allow usthe Company to retain ~~fees related to~~the proceeds from unredeemed vouchers. With these contracts, the Company estimates the value of vouchers ~~sold~~ that ~~are~~will ultimately not be redeemed ~~by purchasers upon expiration, which we recognize~~and records the estimate as ~~revenue based upon estimates at~~revenues in the ~~time of sale.~~same period.

The "Local" category ~~of revenue~~ consists of publishing revenue for negotiated high-quality deals from local businesses, such as restaurants, spas, shows, and other activities and includes Local Deals vouchers and entertainment offers (vouchers and direct bookings). The revenues generated from these products are based upon a percentage of the face value of the vouchers, commission on actual sales or a listing fee based on audience reach. We recognize revenue upon the sale of the vouchers, upon notification of the amount of direct bookings or upon delivery of the emails. For Local Deals vouchers, we recognize a percentage of the face value of vouchers upon the sale of the vouchers. Insertion orders and merchant agreements for Local are typically for periods between one month and twelve months and are not automatically renewed. Certain merchant contracts in foreign locations allow us to retain fees related to vouchers sold that are not redeemed by purchasers upon expiration, which we recognize as revenue based upon estimates at the time of sale.

Jack’s Flight Club

Jack’s Flight Club revenue is generated from paid subscriptions by members. Subscription options are quarterly, semi-annually, and annually. We recognize the revenue ~~on a pro-rated basis based upon~~monthly pro rata over the subscription ~~option.~~period.

Trends in Our Business

Our ability to generate revenues in the future depends on numerous factors such as our ability to sell more advertising to existing and new advertisers, our ability to increase our audience reach and advertising rates, our ability to have sufficient

supply of hotels offered at competitive rates and our ability to develop and launch new products. Our ability to generate revenues is also dependent on trends impacting the travel industry more broadly.

Our current revenue model primarily depends on advertising fees paid primarily by travel, entertainment and local businesses. A number of factors can influence whether current and new advertisers decide to advertise their offers with us. We have been impacted and expect to continue to be impacted by external factors such as the shift from offline to online advertising, the relative condition of the economy, competition and the introduction of new methods of advertising, and the decline in consumer demand for vouchers and travel more generally. A number of factors will have impact on our revenue, such as the reduction in spending by travel intermediaries due to their focus on improving profitability, the trend towards mobile usage by consumers, the willingness of consumers to purchase the deals we advertise, and the willingness of certain competitors to grow their business unprofitably. In addition, we have been impacted and expect to continue to be impacted by internal factors such as introduction of new technologies and advertising products, hiring and relying on key employees for the continued maintenance and growth of our business and ensuring our advertising products continue to attract the audience that advertisers desire. We also have been impacted and expect to continue to be impacted by external factors, such as the ~~COVID-19~~global pandemic, which ~~decrease consumer’s discretionary income and~~ decrease the demand for travel and ~~entertainment.~~entertainment and increasing cybersecurity attacks due to increased dependence on digital technologies. We also could be indirectly impacted by climate change and related legislation to the extent such legislation impacts the businesses of our advertisers such as airlines, which have come under increasing scrutiny for their carbon footprints.

Additionally, existing advertisers may shift from one advertising service (e.g. Top 20) to another (e.g. Local Deals and Getaways). These shifts between advertising services by advertisers could result in no incremental revenue or less revenue than in previous periods depending on the amount purchased by the advertisers, and in particular with Local Deals and Getaways, depending on how many vouchers are purchased by members.

Local revenues have been and may continue to decline over time due to market conditions driven by competition and declines in consumer demand. In the last several years, we have seen a decline in the number of vouchers sold and a decrease in the average take rate earned by us from the merchants for voucher sold. However, due to the ~~COVID-19~~global pandemic and the

increase in demand by consumers for fully refundable travel options, we have now begun to see a slight reversal of this trend and an increase in the sale of Getaways hotel vouchers. Demand for restaurants and spas continues to be low due to the ~~COVID-19~~global pandemic.

Our ability to continue to generate advertising revenue depends heavily upon our ability to maintain and grow an attractive audience for our publications. We monitor our members to assess our efforts to maintain and grow our audience reach. We obtain additional members and activity on our websites by acquiring traffic from Internet search companies. The costs to grow our audience have had, and we expect will continue to have, a significant impact on our financial results and can vary from period to period. We may have to increase our expenditures on acquiring traffic to continue to grow or maintain our reach of our publications due to competition. We continue to see a shift in the audience to accessing our services through mobile devices and social media. When funds are available for marketing spend, we are addressing this growing channel of our audience through increased marketing on social media channels. However, we will need to keep pace with technological change and this trend to further address this shift in the audience behavior in order to offset any related declines in revenue.

We believe that we can increase our advertising rates only if the reach of our publications increases. We do not know if we will be able to increase the reach of our publications. If we are able to increase the reach of our publications, we still may not be able to or want to increase rates given market conditions such as intense competition in our industry. We have not had any significant rate increase in recent years due to intense competition in our industry. Even if we increase our rates, the increased price may reduce the number of advertisers willing to advertise with us and, therefore, decrease our revenue. We may need to decrease our rates based on competitive market conditions and the performance of our audience in order to maintain or grow our revenue.

We do not know what our cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues will be in future periods. Our cost of revenues may increase if the face value of vouchers that we sell for Local Deals and Getaways increases or the total number of vouchers sold increases because we have credit card fees based upon face value of vouchers sold, due to customer service costs related to vouchers sold and due to refunds to members on vouchers sold. We expect fluctuations in cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues from quarter to quarter. Some of the fluctuations may be significant and may have a material impact on our results of operations.

We do not know ~~what~~that our sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue will be in future periods. Increased competition in our industry may require us to increase advertising for our brand and for our products. In order to increase the reach of our publications, we have to acquire a significant number of new members in every quarter and continue to promote our brand. One significant factor that impacts our advertising expenses is the average cost per acquisition of a new member. Increases in the average cost of acquiring new members may result in an increase of sales and marketing expenses as a

percentage of revenue. We believe that the average cost per acquisition depends mainly on the advertising rates which we pay for media buys, our ability to manage our member acquisition efforts successfully, the regions we choose to acquire new members and the relative costs for that region, and the degree of competition in our industry. We may decide to accelerate our member acquisition, including through merger and acquisition activity, for various strategic and tactical reasons and, as a result, increase our marketing and other expenses. We expect the average cost per acquisition to increase with our increased expectations for the quality of the members we acquire. We may see an unique opportunity for a brand marketing campaign that will result in an increase of marketing expenses. In addition, there may be a significant number of members that cancel or we may cancel their subscription for various reasons, which may drive us to spend more on member acquisition in order to replace the lost members. We expect fluctuations in sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue from year to year and from quarter to quarter. Some of the fluctuations may be significant and have a material impact on our results of operations. We expect increased marketing expense to spur continued growth in members and revenue in future periods; however, we cannot be assured of this due to the many factors that impact our growth in members and revenue. We expect to adjust the level of such incremental spending during any given quarter based upon market conditions, as well as our performance in each quarter.

We do not know what our product development expenses as a percentage of revenue will be in future periods. There may be fluctuations that have a material impact on our results of operations. Product development changes may lead to reductions of revenue based on changes in presentation of our offerings to our audience. We expect our efforts on developing our product and services will continue to be a focus in the future, which may lead to increased product development expenses. This increase in expense may be the result of an increase in costs related to third party technology service providers and software licenses, headcount, the compensation related to existing headcount and the increased use of professional services.

We do not know what our general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue will be in future periods. There may be fluctuations that have a material impact on our results of operations.

We do not know what our income taxes will be in future periods. There may be fluctuations that have a material impact on our results of operations. Our income taxes are dependent on numerous factors such as the geographic mix of our taxable income, foreign, federal, state and local tax law and regulations and changes thereto. Our income taxes are also dependent on the determination of whether valuation allowances for certain tax assets are required or not, audits of prior years' tax returns that result in adjustments, resolution of uncertain tax positions and different treatments for certain items for tax versus books. We expect fluctuations in our income taxes from year to year and from quarter to quarter. Some of the fluctuations may be significant and have a material impact on our results of operations.

With respect to the COVID-19 outbreak specifically, we currently expect that our 2020 financial results will be negatively impacted. Additionally, we expect the COVID-19 outbreak will continue to negatively impact our business beyond the first half of 2020, but the extent and duration of such impact in the long term is largely uncertain as it is dependent on future developments that cannot be accurately predicted at this time, including but not limited to the severity and transmission rate of the virus, the extent and effectiveness of containment actions taken, including travel restrictions, and the impact of these and other factors on travel behavior. With the impact to revenues caused by ~~COVID-19,~~the global pandemic, spending by the Company in many areas within the business has been slowed or stopped, including but not limited to, marketing, technology and human resources. For example, in 2020, the Company ceased operations in Asia Pacific, conducted employee furloughs and restructured its employees significantly. The Company also renegotiated many of its outstanding contractual obligations with vendors and closed some ancillary office locations in order to reduce capital expenditures. We do not anticipate that any additional cost-cutting measures will be necessary at this time, but the Board and management of the Company are continually evaluating.

While the Company has already implemented a policy governing employees’ returning to the office voluntarily (in jurisdictions where they are permitted to do so), which includes health, safety and cleaning protocols, the Board and management are continually evaluating the best timeframe for employees’ official return to the offices, including implementing a phased return and ongoing remote working arrangements, and will determine when an official return will be safe for employees based on government regulations and guidance in the applicable jurisdictions.

Other than the PPP Loans, of which one was partially forgiven as of June 30, 2021, the Company does not have any outstanding debt and does not anticipate needing to enter into any debt arrangements or raise any capital, publicly or privately, to support its operations and liquidity in the ordinary course of business.

The key elements of our growth strategy include building a travel and lifestyle brand with a large, high-quality user base and offering our users products that keep pace with consumer preference and technology, such as the trend toward mobile usage by consumers and toward fully refundable travel deals given the uncertainty of the ~~COVID-19~~global pandemic. We expect to continue our efforts to grow; however, we may not grow or we may experience slower growth.

We believe that we can sell more advertising if the market for online advertising continues to grow and if we can maintain or increase our market share. We believe that the market for advertising continues to shift from offline to online. We do not know if we will be able to maintain or increase our market share. We do not know if we will be able to increase the number of our advertisers in the future. We do not know if we will have market acceptance of our new products or whether the market will continue to accept our existing products.

Europe revenues decreased by $992,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from the six months ended June 30, 2020 (see “Revenues” above). Europe expenses decreased by $4.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to $2.2 million decrease in headcount related expenses and $1.1 million decrease in member acquisition costs.

Jack’s Flight Club expenses decreased by ~~approximately $28,000~~$160,000 for the three months ended June 30, ~~2019. Foreign currency movements relative to~~2021 from the ~~U.S. dollar positively impacted our local currency income from our operations in Europe by approximately $16,000 for the six~~three months ended June 30, ~~2019.~~2020. The decrease was primarily due to the additional payment the Company reached with Jack’s Flight Club in 2020 on the settlement agreement.

Jack’s Flight Clubrevenues increased by $119,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the revenues from January 13, 2020 through June 30, 2020 (see “Revenues” above). Jack’s Flight Club expenses decreased by $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the period between January 13, 2020 through June 30, 2020 primarily due to the impairment of intangible assets and goodwill charges the Company recorded in the first quarter of 2020.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, we had ~~$25.6~~$81.0 million in cash and cash equivalents, of which ~~$13.4~~$38.3 million was held outside the U.S. in ~~certain of~~ our foreign operations. If this cash is distributed to the U.S., we may be subject to additional U.S. taxes in certain circumstances.

Cash and cash equivalents increased $17.9 million from ~~$18.7~~$63.1 million as of December 31, ~~2019~~2020 primarily by cash provided by operating activities offset by cash paid for taxes in net share settlement of stock option exercises and cash used to ~~purchase Jack’s Flight Club.~~repurchase our common stocks. As of June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, we had ~~promissory notes payable to~~one PPP loan outstanding of approximately $3.1 million. On July 1, 2021, the ~~sellers~~principal and the interest of ~~Jack’s Flight Club aggregating $1.7 million which are due in June 2021, as well as~~the outstanding PPP ~~loans aggregating $3.6 million due in April 2022.~~ loan were forgiven. As of June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, we had negative working capital of ~~$14.8~~$12.7 million primarily due to an increase in ~~accounts payable~~merchants payables related to ~~merchants from~~ the sale of vouchers. The ~~payable~~payables to merchants isare generally due upon redemption of the ~~voucher.~~vouchers. The vouchers have maturities that ~~extend into~~begin in July 2021 ~~and 2022~~through December 2023, and we believe that redemption patterns may be delayed for international vouchers under the current environment. Based on ~~the~~ current projections of redemption activity, we expect that cash on hand as of June 30, ~~2020~~2021 will be sufficient to provide for working capital needs for at least the next twelve months. However, if redemption activity is more accelerated, or if we are not able to ~~reduce operating losses,~~remain profitable, we may need to obtain additional financing to meet our working capital needs in the future. We believe that we could obtain additional financing if needed, but there can be no assurance that financing will be available on terms that are acceptable to us, if at all.

The following table provides a summary of our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities:

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $22.0 million, which consisted of $18.2 million increase in cash from changes in operating assets and liabilities, $2.4 million in non-cash items and net income of $1.4 million. The increase in cash from changes in operating assets and liabilities primarily consisted of $25.2 million increase in merchant payables, offset partially by $4.8 million increase in accounts receivable and $2.8 million increase in prepaid expenses and other. Adjustments for non-cash items primarily consisted of $1.8 million of stock-based compensation.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $13.4 million, which consisted of $19.8 million increase in cash from changes in operating assets and liabilities and $7.7 million in non-cash items, offset ~~partially~~ by net loss of $14.0 million.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $1.6 million, which consisted of net income of $4.4 million and adjustments for non-cash items of $1.9 million, offset by a $4.7 million decrease in cash from changes in operating assets and liabilities. The decrease in cash from changes in operating assets and liabilities primarily consisted of $2.8 million increase in accounts receivable and the $1.5 million net decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses and other.

Cash paid for income tax, net of refunds received, during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was $1.4 million and ~~2019 was~~ $482,000, ~~and $2.9 million,~~ respectively.

Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was $4.8 million and ~~2019 was~~ $5.3 million, respectively. The cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to $3.1 million cash paid for taxes in net share settlement of stock option exercises and ~~$4.7~~$1.6 million ~~respectively.~~payment to repurchase common stock. The cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily due to the $7.8 million promissory note payment for Jack’s Flight Club stock purchase and $1.2 million ~~payment~~ to repurchase common stock, offset ~~partially~~ by $3.7 million proceeds from PPP loans. Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $4.7 million primarily due to a $6.5 million payment for repurchase common stock, offset partially by proceeds from the issuance of common stock, net of tax paid for the net share settlement, of $1.7 million.

Although we have settled the states unclaimed property claims with all states, we may still receive inquiries from certain potential Netsurfers promotional shareholders that had not provided their state of residence to us by April 25, 2004. Therefore, we are continuing our voluntary program under which we make cash payments to individuals related to the promotional shares for individuals whose residence was unknown by us and who establish that they satisfied the conditions to receive shares of Netsurfers, and who failed to submit requests to convert their shares into shares of Travelzoo within the required time period. This voluntary program is not available for individuals whose promotional shares have been escheated to a state by us.

Our capital requirements depend on a number of factors, including market acceptance of our products and services, the amount of our resources we devote to the development of new products, cash payments related to former shareholders of Netsurfers, expansion of our operations, and the amount of resources we devote to promoting awareness of the Travelzoo brand. Since the inception of the voluntary program under which we make cash payments to people who establish that they were former shareholders of Netsurfers, and who failed to submit requests to convert their shares into shares of Travelzoo within the required time period, we have incurred expenses of $2.9 million. While future payments for this program are expected to decrease, the total cost of this voluntary program is still undeterminable because it is dependent on our stock price and on the number of valid requests ultimately received.

Consistent with our growth, we have experienced fluctuations in our cost of revenues, sales and marketing expenses and our general and administrative expenses, including increases in product development costs, and we anticipate that these increases will continue for the foreseeable future. We believe cash on hand will be sufficient to pay such costs for at least the

next twelve months. In addition, we will continue to evaluate possible investments in businesses, products and technologies, the consummation of any of which would increase our capital requirements.

We are subject to risks and uncertainties as a result of the ~~COVID-19~~global pandemic. ~~Since COVID-19 has spread globally,~~Because of the global pandemic, many of our advertisers have paused, canceled, and stopped advertising with us. Additionally, there have been a large amount of cancellations for our hotel and travel package partners as well as refund requests for our vouchers with the Company’s restaurant and spa partners. We ~~are taking~~have taken steps to adopt new policies and reduce expenses in an effort to maintain our cash position, while we evaluate potential business options and strategic alternatives that may be available.

Although we currently believe that we have sufficient capital resources to meet our anticipated working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months, unanticipated events and opportunities or a less favorable than expected development of our business with one or more of ~~our~~ advertising formats may require us to sell additional equity or debt securities or establish new credit facilities to raise capital in order to meet our capital requirements.

If we sell additional equity or convertible debt securities, the sale could dilute the ownership of our existing shareholders. If we issue debt securities or establish a new credit facility, our fixed obligations could increase, and we may be required to agree to operating covenants that would restrict our operations. We cannot be sure that any such financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us.

If the development of our business is less favorable than expected, we may decide to significantly reduce the size of our operations and marketing expenses in certain markets with the objective of reducing cash outflow.

The information set forth under “Note 4: Commitments and Contingencies” and “Note 11: Leases” to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report is incorporated herein by reference. Litigation and claims against the Company may result in legal defense costs, settlements or judgments that could have a material impact on our financial condition.

We also have contingencies related to net unrecognized tax benefits, including interest, of approximately ~~$374,000~~$1.2 million as of June 30, ~~2020.~~2021. See “Note 5: Income Taxes” to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Critical accounting policies and estimates are those that we believe are important in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements because they require that we use judgment and estimates in applying those policies. Preparation of the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes requires that we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements as well as revenue and expenses during the periods reported. We base our estimates on historical experience, where applicable, and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from our estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our critical accounting policies include revenue recognition, reserve for member refunds, allowance for doubtful accounts, income taxes and loss contingencies. For additional information about our critical accounting policies and estimates, see the disclosure included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2019~~2020 as well as updates in the current fiscal year provided in “Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We believe that our potential exposure to changes in market interest rates is not material. The Company is not a party to any derivative transactions. We invest in highly liquid investments with short maturities. Accordingly, we do not expect any material loss from these investments.

Our operations in Canada expose us to foreign currency risk associated with agreements being denominated in Canadian dollars. Our operations in Europe expose us to foreign currency risk associated with agreements being denominated in British Pound Sterling and Euros. Our discontinued operations in Asia Pacific expose us to foreign currency risk associated with agreements being denominated in Australian dollars, Chinese Yuan, Hong Kong dollar, Japanese Yen and Taiwanese Dollar. We are exposed to foreign currency risk associated with fluctuations of these currencies as the financial position and operating results of our operations in Asia Pacific, Canada and Europe are translated into U.S. dollarsNot required for consolidation purposes. We do not use derivative instruments to hedge these exposures. We are a net receiver of U.S. dollars from our foreign subsidiaries and therefore benefit from a weaker U.S. dollar and are adversely affected by a stronger U.S. dollar relative to the foreign currency used by the foreign subsidiary as its functional currency. We have performed a sensitivity analysis as of June 30, 2020, using a modeling technique that measures the change in the fair values arising from a hypothetical 10% adverse movement in the levels of foreign currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar with all other variables held constant. The foreign currency exchange rates we used were based on market rates in effect at June 30, 2020. The sensitivity analysis indicated that a hypothetical 10% adverse movement in foreign currency exchange rates would result in an incremental ~~$423,000 foreign exchange loss for the six months ended June 30, 2020.~~

smaller reporting companies.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Based on management’s evaluation (with the participation of the Company’s Global Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Accounting Officer (CAO), as of June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, our CEO and CAO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)), are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in U.S. SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our CEO and CAO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

During the quarter ended June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
