NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1.

Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

~~Note 1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies~~

Nature of Operations

Ideanomics, Inc. (Nasdaq: IDEX) is a Nevada corporation that primarily operates in the United States and Asia. The Company is comprised of two operating segments (i) our Legacy YOD business with primary operations in the PRC which has been winding down operations over the last 12 months and (ii) our Mobile Energy Group (MEG) (formally known as our Wecast ~~Service~~Service) business, which is transitioning to focus on the commercial fleet market for electric vehicles in addition to the Company’s existing fintech advisory business. Our MEG business operates as an end-to-end solutions provider for the procurement, financing, charging and energy management needs for fleet operators of commercial Electronic Vehicles (EV). MEG operates through a ~~global financial technology (“Fintech”) advisory and Platform-as-a-Service company~~series of joint ventures with the ~~intent~~leading companies in the commercial EV space, principally in China, and earns fees for every transaction completed based on the spread for group buying of ~~offering~~vehicles and fees derived from the arrangement of financing and energy management such as commercial purchasing of pre-paid electricity credits. MEG focuses on commercial EV rather than passenger EV, as commercial EV is on an accelerated adoption path when compared to consumer EV adoption – which is expected to take between ten to fifteen years. We focus on four distinct commercial vehicles types with supporting income streams: 1) Closed-area heavy commercial, in areas such as Mining, Airports, and Sea Ports; 2) Last-mile delivery light commercial; 3) Buses and Coaches; 4) Taxis. The purchase and financing of vehicles provides for one-time fees and the charging and energy management provides for recurring revenue streams. In July 2019 the company invested in Glory Connection Snd. Bhd, (Glory) a vehicle manufacturer based in Malaysia. Glory holds the only license granted so far for the manufacture of electric vehicles in Malaysia and is in the process of setting up its manufacturing and assembly capabilities.

We continue to develop our FinTech services which principally consist of our ownership of the Delaware Board of Trade (DBOT) ATS, Intelligenta for marketing AI solutions to the Financial Services industry and FinTech Village, a 58 acre development site in West Hartford, Connecticut.

The fintech business intends to offer customized services based on best-in-class blockchain, AI and other technologies to mature and emerging businesses across various industries. To do so, we are building a financial technology ecosystem through license agreements, joint ventures and strategic ~~acquisitions,~~investments, which we refer to as our “Fintech Ecosystem”. In parallel, through strategic acquisitions, equity investments and joint ventures, we are building a network of businesses, operating across industry verticals which we refer to as our “Industry Ventures”. We believe these industry verticals have significant potential to recognize benefits from blockchain and AI technologies that may, for example, enhance operations, address cost inefficiencies, improve documentation and standardization, unlock asset value and improve customer engagement. Our core business strategy is to promote the use, development and advancement of blockchain- and AI-based technologies, and our positioning in the fintech industry overall, by bringing technology leaders together with industry leaders and creating synergies between the businesses in our expanding Fintech Ecosystem and the businesses in our Industry Ventures.

~~Various aspects of the development of our Fintech Ecosystem and our Industry Ventures are still in the planning and testing phase and are generally not operational or revenue generating.~~

Basis of Presentation

In this Form 10-Q, unless the context otherwise requires, the use of the terms "we," "us", "our" and the “Company” refers to Ideanomics, Inc, its consolidated subsidiaries and variable interest entities (“VIEs”).

On April 24, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of a 100% equity ownership in Shanghai Guang Ming Investment Management (“Guang Ming”), a PRC limited liability company. One of the two selling shareholders is a related party, an affiliate of Bruno Wu (“Dr. ~~Wu.~~Wu”). Guang Ming holds a special fund management license. The acquisition will help the Company develop a fund management platform. Under Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 805-50-05-5 and ASC 805-50-30-5, the transaction was accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control, in a manner similar to a pooling of interest, using historical costs. As a result of the reorganization, the net assets of Guang Ming were transferred to the Company, and the accompanying consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018 have been prepared as if the current corporate structure had been in place at the beginning of the periods presented in which the common control existed.

In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments ~~(which include~~of a normal recurring ~~adjustments)~~nature that are necessary ~~to present~~for a fair ~~statements~~presentation of the ~~financial position as of March 31, 2019,~~ results ~~of operations~~ for the ~~three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, have been made.~~interim periods presented. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated on consolidation. However, the results of operations included in such financial statements may not necessary be indicative of annual results.

We use the same accounting policies in preparing quarterly and annual financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 1, 2019 (“2018 Annual Report”).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to the bad debt allowance, variable considerations, fair values of financial instruments, intangible assets (including digital currencies) and goodwill, useful lives of intangible assets and property and equipment, asset retirement obligations, income taxes, and contingent liabilities, among others. We base our estimates on assumptions, both historical and forward looking, that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities.

Fair Value Measurements

Accounting standards require the categorization of financial assets and liabilities, based on the inputs to the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy. The various levels of the fair value hierarchy are described as follows:

Level 1 - Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets and liabilities in an active market that we have the ability to access.

Level 2 - Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 - Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

The fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

The Company reviews the valuation techniques used to determine if the fair value measurements are still appropriate on an annual basis and evaluate and adjust the unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements based on current market conditions and third party information.

Our financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, other current liabilities and convertible notes. The fair values of these assets approximate carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. If these instruments were measured at fair value in the financial statements, they would be classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Our financial assets that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include goodwill and other intangible assets, asset retirement obligations, and adjustment in carrying value of equity securities for which the measurement alternative of cost less impairment plus or minus observable price changes is used. There were no material impairments and no material adjustments to equity securities using the measurement alternative for the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019 and 2018.

Digital Currency

Digital currency consists of GTDollar Coins (“GTB”), Bitcoin and Ethereum.

GTB is received in connection with the services agreement and assets purchase agreement with GT Dollar Pte. Ltd. (“GTD”), our minority shareholder at the time of the transaction (Note 3 and 1314 (b)). As of September 30, 2019, GTD has disposed of its investment in the Company and is no longer a minority shareholder.

GTB is a type of digital asset that is not a fiat currency and is not backed by hard assets or other financial instruments, and does not represent an investment in GTD or a right to access GTD’s platform. As a result, the value of GTB is determined by the value that various market participants place on GTB through their transactions. GTB holders make or lose money from buying and selling GTB. To date, the Asia EDX exchange has not permitted holders of GTB, Bitcoin or Ethereum to exchange digital currencies held in accounts at the exchange for fiat. The company is unable to predict when our cryptocurrency holdings will be convertible into fiat and ~~also has~~consequently does not consider them to be part of the ~~right~~company’s liquid resources.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company gradually converted 1,038,778 GTB to ~~access~~2,763 Bitcoins and 21,312 Ethereum. As of September 30, 2019, the ~~applications built with GTD Payment Blockchain.~~Company holds 7,294,555 GTB, 2,763 Bitcoins and 21,312 Ethereum. These Bitcoins and Etheruem represent GTB denominated in Bitcoin & Etheruem and do not represent a direct holding of Bitcoin and Etheruem.

Given that there is limited precedent regarding the classification and measurement of cryptocurrencies and other digital currencies under current GAAP, the Company has determined to account for these currencies as indefinite-lived intangible assets in accordance with ASC 350, ~~Intangibles—Goodwill~~Intangibles-Goodwill and Other until further guidance is issued by the FASB.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets are recorded at cost and are not subject to amortization, but shall be tested for impairment annually and more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired. If, at the time of an impairment test, the carrying amount of an intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss in an amount equal to the excess is recognized. The fair value of GTB currency was a Level 2 measurement (see Note 3) based upon the consideration agreed by GTD and the Company with a discount considering volatility, risk and limitations at contract inception.

Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale

The Company classifies assets and liabilities (disposal group) to be sold as held for sale in the period in which all of the following criteria are met: management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the disposal groups; the disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such disposal group; an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the disposal group have been initiated; the sale of the disposal group is probable, and transfer of the disposal group is expected to qualify as a completed sale within one year, except if events or circumstances beyond the Company’s control extend the period of time required to sell the disposal group beyond one year; the disposal group is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value; and actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.

The Company initially measures a disposal group that is classified as held for sale at the lower of its carrying value or fair value less any costs to sell. Any loss resulting from this measurement is recognized in the period in which the held for sale criteria are met. Gains are not recognized on the sale of a disposal group until the date of sale. The Company assesses the fair value of a disposal group, less any costs to sell, each reporting period it remains classified as held for sale and reports any subsequent losses as an adjustment to the carrying value of the disposal group.

Reclassifications of a General Nature

Certain amounts in the prior periods presented have been reclassified to conform to the current period financial statement presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported net income. Note 2 provides information about our adoption of new accounting standards for leases.

~~Note 2. New Accounting Pronouncements~~

Note 2.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

We adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), as of January 1, 2019, using a modified retrospective transition method and as a result, the consolidated balance sheet prior to January 1, 2019 was not restated, continues to be reported under ASC Topic 840, Leases, or ASC 840. For all leases at the lease commencement date, a right-of-use asset and a lease liability are recognized. The right-of-use asset represents the right to use the leased asset for the lease term. The lease liability represents the present value of the lease payments under the lease.

The lease liability is based on the present value of the remaining minimum lease payments, determined under ASC 840, discounted using our incremental borrowing rate at the effective date of January 1, 2019, using the original lease term as the tenor. As permitted under the transition guidance, we elected several practical expedients that permit us to not reassess (1) whether a contract is or contains a lease, (2) the classification of existing leases, and (3) whether previously capitalized costs continue to qualify as initial indirect costs. The application of the practical expedients did not have a significant impact on the measurement of the operating lease liability. Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of operating right of use assets and the related lease liabilities of approximately $3.6 million and $3.7 million, respectively, as of January 1, 2019. The difference between the additional lease assets and lease liabilities was immaterial. The standard did not materially impact our consolidated operating results and had no impact on cash flows. Please see Note 9.10.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which largely aligns the measurement and classification guidance for share-based payments to nonemployees with the guidance for share-based payments to employees. The ASU also clarifies that any share-based payment issued to a customer should be evaluated under ASC 606,Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The ASU requires a modified retrospective transition approach. We adopted ASU 2018-07 as of January 1, 2019 and there is no impact to our consolidated financial statement because we did not have such payments in 2019.

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-11, (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features, (Part II) Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception. The new standard applies to issuers of financial instruments with down-round features. A down-round provision is a term in an equity-linked financial instrument (i.e. a freestanding warrant contract or an equity conversion feature embedded within a host debt or equity contract) that triggers a downward adjustment to the instrument’s strike price (or conversion price) if equity shares are issued at a lower price (or equity-linked financial instruments are issued at a lower strike price) than the instrument’s then-current strike price. The purpose of the feature is typically to protect the instrument’s counterparty from future issuances of equity shares at a more favorable price. The ASU amends (1) the classification of such instruments as liabilities or equity by revising the certain guidance relative to evaluating if they must be accounted for as derivative instruments and (2) the guidance on recognition and measurement of freestanding equity-classified instruments. For the Company, this ASU was effective January 1, 2019. Please see Note ~~11.~~12.

Standards Issued and Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13 (ASU 2016-13) "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments" which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss model which requires the use of forward-looking information to calculate credit loss estimates. It also eliminates the concept of other-than-temporary impairment and requires credit losses related to available-for-sale debt securities to be recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than as a reduction in the amortized cost basis of the securities. These changes will result in earlier recognition of credit losses. We will adopt ASU 2016-13 effective January 1, 2020. We are currently evaluating the effect of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on our consolidated financial statements. The effect will largely depend on the composition and credit quality of our investment portfolio and the economic conditions at the time of adoption.

Mobile Energy Group revenue (formerly Wecast ~~service revenue~~ Services)

~~Wecast Services~~

Mobile Energy Group is engaged in the sourcing, procurement, financing and management of commercial fleets of electronic vehicles. Historically, the Mobile Energy Group were mainly engaged in the logistics management, including sales of crude oil, consumer electronics, and digital consulting services such as assets management and marketing services. As of September 30, 2019, we no longer have control over Amer, the subsidiary that engaged in consumer electronics business, as disclosed in Note 5(h).

Logistics management revenue:

Revenue from the sales of crude oil and consumer electronics is recognized when the customer obtains control of the Company’s crude oil and consumer electronics, which occurs at a point in time, usually upon shipment or upon acceptance. The contracts are generally short-term contracts where the time between order confirmation and satisfaction of all performance obligations is less than one year.

The most significant judgment is determining whether we are the principal or agent for the sales of crude oil and consumer electronics. We report revenues from these transactions on a gross basis where we are the principal considering the following principal versus agent indicators:

(a)

We are primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the goods to the customer. The Company enters into contracts with customers with specific quality requirements and the suppliers separately. The Company is obliged to provide the goods if the supplier fails to transfer the goods to the customer and responsible for the acceptability of the goods.

(b)

The Company has certain inventory risk. Although the Company has the title to the ~~good~~goods only momentarily before passing title on to the customer, the Company is responsible to arrange and issue bill of lading to the customer so that the customer can have the right to obtain the required oil product. In addition, the customer can seek remedies and submit the ~~clam~~claim against the Company regarding the quality or quantity of the products delivered.

(c)

The Company has discretion in establishing prices. Upon delivery of the crude oil and consumer electronics to the customer, the terms of the contract between the Company and the supplier require the Company to pay the supplier the agreed-upon price. The Company and the customer negotiate the selling price, and the Company invoices the customer for the agreed-upon selling price. The Company’s profit is based on the difference between the sales price negotiated with the customer and the price charged by the supplier. The sales price for crude oil is based on the daily benchmark price of spot product plus any premium determined by the Company.

During the fourth quarter of 2018, we began experiencing market demand for non-logistics management revenue -generating opportunities and have begun focusing our efforts on these new market fintech services opportunities, while phasing out of the oil trading and electronics trading businesses.

Digital asset management service with GTD:

On March 14, 2019, the Company entered into a service agreement with GTD, one of our minority shareholders, ~~GTD~~ to provide digital asset management services including consulting, advisory and management services which will be delivered in two phases. There are two performance obligations: (1) the development of a master plan for GTD’s assets for 7,083,333 GTB agreed by both parties; and (2) exclusive marketing and business development management services for a fee as percentage (0.25%) of the total market value of ~~GTB;~~GTB ; based on a 10-day average of the 10 business days leading up to the end of a respective calendar month, and paid on the first day of each new calendar month. No marketing and business development management services were delivered by the Company during the current quarter and, furthermore, the company does not anticipate providing these services in the fourth quarter.

The Company recognizes revenue for the master plan development services over the contract period ~~(expected to be completed in six months),~~ based on the progress of the services provided towards completed satisfaction. Based on ASC 606-10-32, at contract inception, the Company considered the following factors to estimate the ~~fair~~ value of GTB (noncash consideration): a) it only trades in one exchange, which operations have been less than one year; b) its historical volatility is high; c) the Company’s intention to hold the majority of GTB, as part of our digital asset management services; and d) associated risks discussed in Note 1819 (f). Therefore, the ~~fair~~ value of 7,083,333 GTB using Level 2 measurement was approximately $40.7 million with a 76% discount to the fixed contract price agreed upon by both parties when ~~signed~~signing the contract. We considered similar ~~token~~assets exchanges in Singapore and considered the volatility of the quoted prices and determined a discount of 76%. The ~~fair~~estimated value of GTB is calculated using the Black-Scholes valuation model using the following assumptions: expected terms 3.0 years; volatility 155%; dividend yield: zero and risk free interest rate 2.25%.

~~We recognized revenues of $26.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and recognized deferred revenues in the amount of $14.1 million as of March 31, 2019.~~

The Company considers the payments for marketing and business development management services as performance based consideration, in accordance with ASC 606 on constraining estimates of variable consideration, including the following factors:

•	The susceptibility of the consideration amount to factors outside the Company’s influence.
•	The uncertainty associated with the consideration amount is not expected to be resolved for a long period of time.
•	The Company’s experience with similar types of contracts.
•	Whether the Company expects to offer price concessions or change the payment terms.
•	The range of possible consideration amounts.

As of ~~the consideration amount to factors outside the Company’s influence.~~

~~The uncertainty~~September 30, 2019, all performance obligations associated with the ~~consideration amount is not expected to be resolved~~development of the master plan for ~~a long period of time.~~

~~The Company~~’~~s experience with similar types of contracts.~~

~~Whether~~GTD’s assets have been satisfied. Accordingly, the Company ~~expects to offer price concessions or change the payment terms.~~

~~The range~~recognized revenue of ~~possible consideration amounts.~~

~~For~~$0 and $40.7 million, for the three months and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019, respectively. No marketing and business development management services were delivered by the Company during the current quarter and, furthermore, the company does not anticipate providing these services in the fourth quarter.

Taxis Commission Revenue:

During Q2 2019, the Company ~~only provided~~signed an agreement with iUnicorn (also known as Shenma Zhuanche) to form a strategic joint venture (“JV”) that will focus on green finance and integrated marketing services for new energy taxi vehicles as part of Ideanomics’ Mobile Energy Group (“MEG”). The Company agreed to contribute advisory and sales resources which include arranging ABS-based auto financing with its bank partners, and will have 50.01% ownership interest in the ~~service~~JV and will have control of ~~master plan development~~the board. iUnicorn, which will own 49.99% of the JV, agreed to contribute its vehicles sales orders in Sichuan province. The JV will generate revenues from commissions on vehicle sales order and ~~recognized~~ABS fees related to the financing, which will vary accordingly to manufacturer and vehicle model.

During Q3 2019, the JV took over an order of 4,172 EV taxis from a third-party and helped facilitate the completion of the order in Q3 2019. As part of the transaction, Qianxi agreed to pay a commission of $2.9 million to the JV for facilitating the completion of this order. There is no other remaining performance obligation relating to this commission. In addition, the commission revenue is considered revenue from related party as the minority shareholder of ~~$26.6 million.~~the JV is an affiliate of our customer, Qianxi.

Legacy YOD revenue

Since 2017, we have run our legacy YOD segment with limited resources. No revenue was recognized for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019 and 2018. As of September 30, 2019, we have ceased operations in the YOD segment.

Arrangements with multiple performance obligations

Our contracts with customers may include multiple performance obligations. For such arrangements, we allocate revenue to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. We generally determine standalone selling prices based on the observable prices charged to customers or adjusted market assessment or using expected cost plus margin when one is available. Adjusted market assessment price is determined based on overall pricing objectives taking into consideration market conditions and entity specific factors.

Variable consideration

Certain customers may receive discounts, which are accounted for as variable consideration. We estimate these amounts based on the expected amount to be provided to customers and reduce revenues recognized. Our revenue reserves, consisting of various discounts and allowances, which are components of variable consideration as discussed above, are considered an area of significant judgment. Additionally, our digital asset management service revenue, as discussed above, is calculated as a percentage (0.25%) of the total market value of GTB. For these areas of significant judgment, actual amounts may ultimately differ from our estimates and are adjusted in the period in which they become known.

Deferred revenues

We record deferred revenues when cash payments are received or due in advance of our performance, including amounts which are refundable. The increase in the deferred revenue balance for the three months ended March 31, 2019 is primarily driven by cash payments and GTB received or due in advance of satisfying our performance obligations.

Our payment terms vary by the type and location of our customer and the products or services offered. ~~The term between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant.~~ For certain products or services and customer types, we require payment before the products or services are delivered to the customer.

Practical expedients and exemptions

We do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less.

~~Note 4. VIE Structure and Arrangements~~

Note 4.

VIE Structure and Arrangements

We consolidate VIEs in which we hold a variable interest and are the primary beneficiary through contractual agreements. We are the primary beneficiary because we have the power to direct activities that most significantly affect their economic performance and have the obligation to absorb the majority of their losses or benefits. The results of operations and financial position of these VIEs are included in our consolidated financial statements.

For these consolidated VIEs, their assets are not available to us and their creditors do not have recourse to us. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, assets (mainly long-term investments) that can only be used to settle obligations of these VIEs were approximately ~~$3.6~~$0.2 million and $3.5 million, respectively, and the Company is the major creditor for the VIEs.

In order to operate our Legacy YOD business in PRC and to comply with PRC laws and regulations that prohibit or restrict foreign ownership of companies that provides value-added telecommunication services, the Company entered into a series of contractual agreements with two VIEs: Beijing Sinotop Scope Technology Co., Ltd (“Sinotop Beijing”) and Tianjin Sevenstarflix Network Technology Limited (“SSF”). These contractual agreements will ~~be expired~~expire in March 2030 and April 2036, respectively and may not be terminated by the VIEs, except with the consent of the Company , or , in event of a material breach of the agreement by ~~us.~~the Company. Currently, the Company is still evaluating the overall operating strategy for YOD legacy business and does not have plan to provide any funding to these two VIEs. Please refer to Note ~~18(a)~~19(a) for associated regulatory risks.

Based on the contracts we entered with VIEs’ shareholders, we consider that there is no asset of the VIEs that can be used only to settle obligation of the Company, except for the registered capital of VIEs amounting to RMB 38.2 million (approximately $5.7 million).

The Company accounted for the additional True-Up Common Stock consideration as a liability in accordance with ASC 480. We recorded this liability at fair value of $2,217,034 on the date of acquisition. As of September 30, 2019, we remeasured this liability to $2,327,919 and the remeasurement loss of $(110,885) was recorded in the other income/(expense) of the income statement.

DBOT operates three companies: (i) DBOT ATS LLC, an SEC recognized Alternative Trading System; (ii) DBOT Issuer Services LLC, focused on setting and maintaining issuer standards, as well as the provision of issuer services to DBOT designated issuers; and (iii) DBOT Technology Services LLC, focused on the provision of market data and marketplace connectivity.

The ~~transactions are conditioned upon~~consolidated statements of operation for the three months ended September 30, 2019 include the results of DBOT. Supplemental information on an unaudited pro forma basis, as if the acquisition had been consummated as of January 1, 2018 is as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30, 2018			Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019		Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018
Revenue	$	43,798,865		$	44,612,471	$	363,004,917
Net Income (loss) attributable to IDEX common shareholders	$	(7,818,047	)	$	10,582,474	$	(21,387,162	)

The unaudited pro forma results of operations do not purport to represent what the Company’s ~~completion~~results of operations would actually have been had the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2018. Actual future results may vary considerably based on a variety of factors beyond the Company’s control.

For all intangible assets acquired, continuing membership agreements have useful life of 20 years and the customer list has useful life of 3 years.

The following table summarizes the acquisition-date fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as the fair value of the non-controlling interest in DBOT recognized:

Cash	$	246,929
Other financial assets		1,686,464

Divestitures

The Company may divest certain businesses from time to time based upon review of the Company’s portfolio considering, among other items, factors relative to the extent of strategic and technological alignment and optimization of capital deployment, in addition to considering if selling the businesses results in the greatest value creation for the Company and for shareholders.

(g)Red Rock Global Capital LTD (“Red Rock”)

In May 2019, the Company determined to sell the Red Rock business and entered into an agreement with Redrock Capital Group Limited, an affiliate of Dr. Wu, to sell its ~~due diligence, customary closing conditions~~entire interest in Red Rock for a consideration of $700,000. The Company decided to sell Red Rock primarily because it has incurred operating losses and ~~regulatory approval. We paid $620,000 in March 2019 as an investment deposit and recorded in prepayments~~its business is no longer needed based on our ~~consolidated balance sheet~~strategic plan. The transaction was completed in July 2019 and the company recorded a disposal gain of $552,215.

(h) Amer Global Technology Limited (“Amer”)

On June 30, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement with BCC Technology Company Limited (“BCC”) and Tekang Holdings Technology Co., Ltd (“Tekang ”) pursuant to which Tekang will inject certain assets in the robotics and electronic internet industry and IOT business consisting of manufacturing data, supply chain management & financing, and lease financing of industrial robotics into Amer in exchange for 71.81% of ownership interest in Amer. The parties subsequently entered into several amendments including (1) changing the name of Amer to Logistorm Technology Limited, (2) issuing 39,500 new shares in Amer or 71.81% ownership interest to BCC instead of Tekang, (3) issuing 5,500 new shares in Amer or 10% ownership interest to Merry Heart Technology Limited (“MHT”) and (4) the Company is responsible for 20%of any potential tax obligation associated with Amer, if Amer fails to be publicly listed in 36 months from the closing date of this transaction. The Company concluded that it’s not probable that this contingent liability would be incurred. As a result of this transaction, the Company’s ownership interest in Amer was diluted from 55% to 10%. The transaction was completed on August 31, 2019.

The Company recognized a disposal gain of $505,148 as a result of the deconsolidating Amer. $95,104 of the gain is attributable to the 10% ownership interest retained in Amer. In addition, on the date Amer was deconsolidated, the Company recorded a bad debt expense of $622,286 relating to a receivable due from Amer to a subsidiary of the Company.

The following table summarizes the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2018, on an unaudited pro forma basis, as if the dilution of the Company’s interest in Amer had been consummated as of ~~March 31,~~January 1, 2018:

	Three Months Ended September 30, 2018			Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018
Revenue	$	275,380		$	260,547,120
Net loss from operations		(6,305,340	)		(18,548,258	)
Net loss		(7,390,597	)		(19,351,526	)
Net loss attributable to IDEX common shareholders	$	(7,158,674	)	$	(18,945,524	)

Pro forma results of operations for the period ended September 30, 2019 have not been presented because they are not material to the consolidated results of operations. Amer has no revenue and minimal operating expense in 2019.

Non-marketable equity investment

Our non-marketable equity investments are investments in privately held companies without readily determinable fair ~~values~~values. These investments are carried at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer.

The Company reviews its equity securities without readily determinable fair values on a regular basis to determine if the investment is impaired. For purposes of this assessment, the Company considers the investee’s cash position, earnings and revenue outlook, liquidity and management ownership, among other factors, in its review. If management’s assessment indicates that an impairment exists, the Company estimates the fair value of the equity investment and recognizes in current earnings an impairment loss that is equal to the difference between the fair value of the equity investment and its carrying amount. There is no impairment for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019.

~~Delaware Board of Trade Holdings, Inc. (“DBOT”)~~Leases

As of March 31, 2019, the Company held 36.92% equity ownership in DBOT. DBOT is an approved and licensed FINRA- and SEC-regulated electronic trading platform with operations in Delaware. One of our subsidiaries is powered by DBOT’s platform, trading system and technology.

In April, 2019, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement to acquire additional shares in DBOT for 4,427,870 shares of the Company’s common stock at $2.11 per share, thereby becoming the majority and controlling shareholder in DBOT.

~~Note 10. Leases~~

We lease certain office space and equipment from third parties. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet and we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For leases beginning in 2019 and later, at the inception of a contract we assess whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. Our assessment is based on: (1) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) whether we obtain the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the period, and (3) whether we have the right to direct the use of the asset. At inception of a lease, we allocate the consideration in the contract to each lease component based on its relative stand-alone price to determine the lease payments. Leases entered into prior to January 1, 2019, are accounted for under ASC 840 and were not reassessed. We account for lease components (e.g., fixed payments including rent, real estate taxes and insurance costs) separately from the nonlease components (e.g.,common-area maintenance costs).

Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one year or more. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion. Our leases do not include options to purchase the leased property. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term.

Note 16. Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic earnings (loss) per common share attributable to our shareholders is calculated by dividing the net earnings (loss) attributable to our shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period.

Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by taking net earnings (loss), divided by the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. The calculations of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three months and nine months ended, 2019 and 2018 are as follows:

~~Note 17.     Income Taxes~~
Note 17. Income Taxes

During the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of ~~$86,405 which consisted~~$513,935, $152,876 resulting from losses of ~~a $4,750,449 expense related to current operations~~Grapevine Logic, Inc. offsetting deferred tax liabilities that were recognized on the acquisition of Grapevine Logic, Inc. and a ~~$4,836,854 benefit from a~~$361,059 reduction of the valuation allowance on Ideanomics, Inc. deferred tax assets in excess of those reversed to offset Ideanomics, Inc.’s income. The reduction in ~~the~~valuation allowance resulted from Ideanomics, Inc.’s acquisition of additional ownership interests in Grapevine Logic, Inc. which caused Grapevine Logic, Inc. to be included in a consolidated tax return with Ideanomics, Inc. beginning June 30, 2019. This meant that $361,059 of ~~the year~~Ideanomics, Inc.’s deferred tax ~~valuation allowance.~~assets could be utilized to offset Grapevine Logic Inc.’s remaining deferred tax liabilities. This resulted in an effective tax rate of ~~(1%~~(4.43%). The effective tax rate for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019 differs from the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to the effect of taxes on foreign earnings, non-deductible expenses and the reduction in the beginning of the year deferred tax valuation allowance.

As of September 30, 2019, the Company had approximately $9.9 million of the U.S domestic cumulative tax loss carryforwards and approximately $30.9 million of the foreign cumulative tax loss carryforwards which may be available to reduce future income tax liabilities in certain jurisdictions. The remaining 2018 U.S. tax loss is not subject to expiration under the new Tax Law. The foreign tax loss carryforwards will expire beginning year 2019 through 2023.
There was no identified unrecognized tax benefit as of ~~March 31, 2018 and~~September 30, 2019. We are not aware of any unrecorded tax liabilities which would impact our financial position or our results of operations.

~~Note 19.     Concentration, Credit and Other Risks~~
Note 19. Concentration, Credit and Other Risks

~~(a)~~ ~~PRC Regulations~~
(a)PRC Regulations
The PRC market in which the Company operates poses certain macro-economic and regulatory risks and uncertainties. These uncertainties extend to the ability of the Company to conduct wireless telecommunication services through contractual arrangements in the PRC since the industry remains highly regulated. The Company conducts legacy YOD business in China through a series of contractual arrangements (See Note 4). The Company believes that these contractual arrangements are in compliance with PRC law and are legally enforceable. If Sinotop Beijing, SSF or their respective legal shareholders fail to perform the obligations under the contractual arrangements or any dispute relating to these contracts remains unresolved, Wewe can enforce its rights under the VIE contracts through PRC law and courts. However, uncertainties in the PRC legal system could limit the Company’s ability to enforce these contractual arrangements. In particular, the interpretation and enforcement of these laws, rules and regulations involve uncertainties. If we had direct ownership of Sinotop Beijing and SSF, itwe would be able to exercise ~~its~~our rights as a shareholder to effect changes in the board of directors of Sinotop Beijing or SSF, which in turn could ~~effect~~affect changes at the management level, subject to any applicable fiduciary obligations. However, under the current contractual arrangements, the Company relies on Sinotop Beijing, SSF and their respective legal shareholders to perform their contractual obligations to exercise effective control. The Company also gives no assurance that PRC government authorities will not take a view in the future that is contrary to the opinion of the Company. If the current ownership structure of the Company and its contractual arrangements with the VIEs and their equity holders were found to be in violation of any existing or future PRC laws or regulations, the Company's ability to conduct its business could be affected and the Company may be required to restructure its ownership structure and operations in the PRC to comply with the changes in the PRC laws which may result in deconsolidation of the VIEs.

From time to time the PRC government imposes regulations that limit the amount and timing of foreign payments from companies operating in the PRC. Our ability to repatriate cash held in the PRC, or obtain funding from sources in the PRC, may be restricted by such regulations.
2326

In addition, the telecommunications, information and media industries remain highly regulated. Restrictions are currently in place and are unclear with respect to which segments of these industries foreign owned entities, like YOD WFOE, may operate. The PRC government may issue from time to time new laws or new interpretations on existing laws to regulate areas such as telecommunications, information and media, some of which are not published on a timely basis or may have retroactive effect. For example, there is substantial uncertainty regarding the Draft Foreign Investment Law, including, among others, what the actual content of the law will be as well as the adoption and effective date of the final form of the law. Administrative and court proceedings in China may also be protracted, resulting in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention. While such uncertainty exists, the Company cannot assure that the new laws, when it is adopted and becomes effective, and potential related administrative proceedings will not have a material and adverse effect on the Company's ability to control the affiliated entities through the contractual arrangements. Regulatory risk also encompasses the interpretation by the tax authorities of current tax laws, and the Company’s legal structure and scope of operations in the PRC, which could be subject to further restrictions resulting in limitations on the Company’s ability to conduct business in the PRC.

(d)Concentration of Credit Risks
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk primarily consist of cash and accounts receivable. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company’s cash was held by financial institutions (located in the PRC, Hong Kong, the United States and Singapore) that management believes have acceptable credit. Accounts receivable are typically unsecured and are mainly derived from revenues from Mobile Energy Group (formerly Wecast ~~Services.~~Services). The risk with respect to accounts receivable is mitigated by regular credit evaluations that the Company performs on its distribution partners and its ongoing monitoring of outstanding balances.

~~(e)~~ ~~Foreign Currency Risks~~
(e)Foreign Currency Risks
We have certain operating transactions that are denominated in RMB and a portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities that is denominated in RMB. RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. The value of the RMB is subject to changes in the central government policies and to international economic and political developments. In the PRC, certain foreign exchange transactions are required by laws to be transacted only by authorized financial institutions at exchange rates set by the People’s Bank of China (“PBOC”). Remittances in currencies other than RMB by the Company in China must be processed through PBOC or other China foreign exchange regulatory bodies which require certain supporting documentation in order to complete the remittance.

As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately ~~$2.0~~$1.7 million and the Company has incurred losses since its inception and must continue to rely on proceeds from debt and equity issuances to pay for ongoing operating expenses in order to execute its business plan.

Management has taken several actions below to ensure that the Company will continue as a going concern through ~~May 31,~~November 30, 2020, including ~~reductions in~~the cessation of YOD legacy segment related expenses and discretionary expenditures.

· As discussed in Note 12, the Company executed a security purchase agreement with ID Venturas 7, LLC (“IDV”), whereby the Company issued $2,500,000 of senior secured convertible note during the third quarter.

The Company intends to raise both debt and equity capital to cover its short and medium term cash needs, while it plans to unlock revenue from its new fintech advisory services business in 2019. Therefore, the Company does not plan to take additional outside investments in the near term, unless there is a delay in product expectations and sales.
capital needs.

Although the Company may attempt to raise funds by issuing debt or equity instruments, ~~in the~~ future ~~additional~~ financing may not be available to the Company on terms acceptable to the Company or at all or such resources may not be received in a timely manner. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital when required or on acceptable terms, the Company may be required to scale back or to discontinue certain operations, scale back or discontinue the development of new business lines, reduce headcount, sell assets, file for bankruptcy, reorganize, merge with another entity, or cease operations.

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. If the Company is in fact unable to continue as a going concern, the shareholders may lose their entire investment in the Company.

Note 24. Subsequent Events

~~Note 23.     Subsequent Events~~Senior Secured Convertible Debentures - ID Ventura 7

On October 29, 2019, the Company entered into an Additional Issuance Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), with ID Venturas 7, LLC. (“ID Venturas”) an exempted company incorporated and existing under the laws of the Delaware, pursuant to which ID Venturas invested $400,000 of the up to $2,500,000 of additional investment rights granted to ID Venturas in the September SPA (as defined below) and received (i) a promissory note (the “Convertible Note”) which is senior secured and convertible at $1.00 per share of Company common stock, subject to anti-dilution adjustments and (ii) a warrant (the “Warrant”) exercisable for 150% of the number of shares of common stock which the Note is convertible into. The Convertible Note is convertible into common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a conversion price of $1.00, subject to anti-dilution adjustments. The Convertible Note matures on March 27, 2021, and accrues at a 10% interest rate.
In connection with the above transaction, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement with ID Venturas (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) which grants ID Venturas demand registration rights.
As disclosed in Note 12, the Company entered into Securities Purchase Agreements, dated February 22, 2019 (“The Purchase Agreement”) and dated September 27, 2019 (“Convertible Note Agreement”) with ID Venturas pursuant to which ID Venturas purchased 10% Senior Secured Convertible Debentures (the “Debentures”) and common stock purchase warrants (the “Warrants”) and were granted additional investments rights to purchase up to an additional $2,500,000 of Debentures and Warrants (“Additional Investment Rights”). On October 29, 2019 Ideanomics, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a letter agreement (the “Agreement”) with ID Venturas pursuant to which the Company agreed to reduce the conversion price of the Debentures and the exercise price of the Warrants to $1.00, subject to adjustment thereunder. The Agreement also reduced the conversion price of Debentures and the exercise price of the Warrants issuable pursuant to the Additional Investment Rights.
GTB Impairment review

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements

This Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking” statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You can identify these statements by the use of forward-looking words such as "may", "will", "expect", "anticipate", "estimate", "believe", "continue", or other similar words. You should read statements that contain these words carefully because they discuss our future expectations, contain projections of our future results of operations or financial condition or state other "forward-looking" information. We believe that it is important to communicate our future expectations to our investors. However, these forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results may differ materially from the expectations that are expressed, implied or forecasted in any such forward-looking statements. There may be events in the future that we are unable to accurately predict or control, including weather conditions and other natural disasters which may affect demand for our products, and the product-development and marketing efforts of our competitors.

Overview

Ideanomics, Inc. (Nasdaq: IDEX) is a ~~holding company~~Nevada corporation that primarily operates in the United States and Asia. The Company is comprised of two operating segments (i) our Legacy YOD business with primary operations in the PRC which has been winding down operations over the last 12 months and (ii) our Mobile Energy Group (MEG) (formally known as our Wecast ~~Service~~Service) business, which is transitioning to focus on the commercial fleet market for electric vehicles in addition to the Company’s existing fintech advisory business. Our MEG business operates as an end-to-end solutions provider for the procurement, financing, charging and energy management needs for fleet operators of commercial Electric Vehicles (EV). MEG operates through a ~~global financial technology (“Fintech”) advisory and Platform-as-a-Service company~~series of joint ventures with the ~~intent of offering customized services~~leading companies in the commercial EV space, principally in China, and earns fees for every transaction completed based on ~~best-in-class blockchain, AI~~the spread for group buying of vehicles and ~~other technologies~~fees derived from the arrangement of financing and energy management such as commercial purchasing of pre-paid electricity credits. MEG focuses on commercial EV rather than passenger EV, as commercial EV is on an accelerated adoption path when compared to ~~mature~~consumer EV adoption – which is expected to take between ten to fifteen years. We focus on four distinct commercial vehicles types with supporting income streams: 1) Closed-area heavy commercial, in areas such as Mining, Airports, and ~~emerging businesses across various industries. To do~~Sea Ports; 2) Last-mile delivery light commercial; 3) Buses and Coaches; 4) Taxis. The purchase and financing of vehicles provides for one-time fees and the charging and energy management provides for recurring revenue streams. In July 2019 the company invested in Glory Connection Snd. Bhd, (Glory) a vehicle manufacturer based in Malaysia. Glory holds the only license granted so ~~we are building a technology ecosystem through license agreements, joint ventures~~far for the manufacture of electric vehicles in Malaysia and strategic acquisitions, which we refer to as our “Fintech Ecosystem”. In parallel, through strategic acquisitions, equity investments and joint ventures, we are building a network of businesses, operating across industry verticals which we refer to as our “Industry Ventures”. We believe these industry verticals have significant potential to recognize benefits from blockchain and AI technologies that may, for example, enhance operations, address cost inefficiencies, improve documentation and standardization, unlock asset value and improve customer engagement. Our core business strategy is ~~to promote the use, development and advancement of blockchain- and AI-based technologies, and our positioning~~ in the ~~fintech industry overall, by bringing technology leaders together with industry leaders~~process of setting up its manufacturing and ~~creating synergies between the businesses in our expanding Fintech Ecosystem and the businesses in our Industry Ventures. .~~assembly capabilities.

~~The Company is in a transition period from the Legacy YOD business~~We continue to our new fintech services business, including the build out of the human capital needed to transform the business and the infrastructure needed to build out the U.S. operations. As part of our transition strategy, we are identifying promising technologies and use cases for operations as a next-generation fintech company. As we further develop our FinTech services ~~business and this business continues to mature, we have been gradually phasing out~~which principally consist of our logistics management and financing business for strategic reasons, as further described below. During the fourth quarter of 2018 we began experiencing market demand for non-logistics management revenue generating opportunities and have begun focusing our efforts on these new market FinTech services opportunities, while phasing outownership of the ~~oil trading and electronics trading businesses. These new FinTech services market opportunities are in line with our FinTech Ecosystem and Industry Ventures strategy. We intend~~Delaware Board of Trade (DBOT) ATS, Intelligenta for marketing AI solutions to ~~continue to capitalize on our efforts and learning from logistics management business so that we can leverage~~ the ~~applications of our technologies~~Financial Services industry and FinTech ~~Ecosystem across this business and as part of our Industry Ventures strategy. Various other aspects of the~~Village, a 58 acre development ~~of our Fintech Ecosystem and our Industry Ventures, as described below, are still~~site in ~~the planning and testing phase and are generally not operational or revenue generating.~~West Hartford, Connecticut.

Principal Factors Affecting Our Financial Performance

Our business is expected to be impacted by both macroeconomic and Ideanomics-specific factors. The following factors have been part of the transformation of the Company which affected the results of our operations for the three months and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019:

· Our business strategy may affect the comparability of financial results
Our business strategy and the primary goal for entering certain industries, such as logistics management for crude oil trading and electronics, was to learn about the needs of buyers and sellers in industries and to promote the use, development and advancement of blockchain- and AI-based technologies.
In parallel, and for strategic reasons, after the fourth quarter of 2018, we also chose to focus our resources and efforts on other non-logistics management revenue generating opportunities that we identified in the market. These new market opportunities also involve the use of our technologies in our FinTech Ecosystem and their application across Industry Ventures. We intend to continue to capitalize on our efforts and learning from overall logistics management business, but it is not intended to be our core business. Therefore, for comparability purposes, the financial results may not be comparable as we phase out of the logistics management business going forward.

Therefore, for comparability purposes, the financial results may not be comparable as we phase out of the logistics management business going forward.
· Our ability to transform our business and to meet internal or external expectations of future performance.
In connection with this transformation, we are in the process of considerable changes, which include assembling a new management team in the United States and overseas, reconfiguring our business structure to reflect our blockchain-based fintech strategy, continuing to further enhance our controls, procedures, and oversight during this transformation, and expanding our mission and business lines for continued growth. It is uncertain whether these efforts will prove beneficial or whether we will be able to develop the necessary business models, infrastructure and systems to support our businesses. To succeed, among other things, we will need to have or hire the right talent to execute our business strategy. Market acceptance of new product and service offerings will be dependent in part on our ability to include functionality and usability that address customer requirements, and optimally price our products and services to meet customer demand and cover our costs.

· Our ability to remain competitive.
As we transition to becoming an AI- and blockchain-enabled fintech company, we will continue to face intense competition: these new technologies are constantly evolving, and our competitors may introduce new platforms and solutions that are superior to ours. In addition, our competitors may be able to adapt more quickly to new technologies or may be able to devote greater resources to the development, marketing and sale of their products than we can.

·
The fluctuation in earnings from the ~~deployment~~continuing development of the Mobile Energy Group (formerly Wecast ~~Services~~Services) segment through acquisitions, strategic equity investments, the formation of joint ventures, and in-licenses of technology.
Our results of operations may fluctuate from period to period based on our entry into new transactions to expand commercial fleet market for commercial vehicles and develop our Fintech Ecosystem and Industry Ventures. ~~There could be an increase in value in the Wecast Services segment as a result of increases in value from our investment in DBOT or other unconsolidated entities.~~ In addition, while we intend to contribute cash and other assets to our joint ventures, we do not intend for our ~~holding~~ company to conduct significant research and development activities. We intend research and development activities to be conducted by our technology partners and licensors. These fluctuations in growth or costs and in our joint ventures and partnerships may contribute to significant fluctuations in the results of our operations.

· Longer periods for development and implementation of our technology.
The Company has moved into a fintech advisory services and Platform-as-a-Service model. Our technology in this area of our ecosystem is new and constantly evolving and thus it has taken longer than anticipated to implement these technologies. Innovation is an integral part of our ecosystem and, while we strive to be first to market, it is also important to be best in class.
· ~~Ongoing evaluations~~The Company has moved into a fintech advisory services and Platform-as-a-Service model.

Innovation is an integral part of our ecosystem and, while we strive to be first to market, it is also important to be best in class.
We are currently evaluating various assets and investments previously done as part of the Legacy YOD business, and their ability to contribute to the business strategy of our new fintech advisory and services business, to our cash flows, and the overall recoverability of these assets.

Information about segments

Mobile Energy Group (formerly Wecast ~~Services~~Services) Segment

Within the Mobile Energy Group (formerly Wecast ~~Services~~Services) segment, we are engaged in ~~(1)~~providing an end-to-end solution for the ~~trading~~purchase, financing, charging and energy management for fleets of commercial Electric Vehicles (EV). We operate through a series of joint ventures with the leading companies in the commercial EV space, principally in China, and earn a fee for every transaction completed using the marketplace.

Legacy YOD Segment

Since 2017, we run our legacy YOD segment with limited resources. ~~No revenue was recognized for the three months ended March 31,~~As of September 30, 2019, ~~and 2018.~~
we have ceased our operation of YOD Segment.

Our Unconsolidated Equity Investments

For the investments where we may exercise significant influence, but not control, they are classified as long-term equity investments and accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the investment is initially recorded at cost and adjusted for our share of undistributed earnings or losses of the investee. Investment losses are recognized until the investment is written down to nil, provided that we do not guarantee the investee’s obligations or ~~we are committed~~commit to provide additional funding. Please refer to Note 89 of the notes to unaudited consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information.
Taxation

~~Taxation~~United States

~~United States~~
Ideanomics, Inc., M.Y. Products, LLC, Grapevine Logic, ~~Inc.~~Inc., DBOT, and Red Rock Global Capital Ltd. are United States companies subject to the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. ~~The $86,405~~Taxes that otherwise would have been due on the income of Ideanomics, Inc. were completely offset by net operating loss carryovers from prior years. Deferred tax assets related to those net operating loss carryovers had previously been entirely offset by valuation allowances. In July 2019, the Company completed the disposal of its interest in Red Rock Global Capital Ltd. A $513,935 income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2019 includes an expense of $4,836,854 on Ideanomics, Inc.’s pre-tax income offset by a equivalent benefit resulting from the reduction of the beginning of the year Ideanomics, Inc. deferred tax valuation allowance and an $86,405 income tax benefitwas recorded, $152,876 resulting from losses of Grapevine Logic, Inc. offsetting deferred tax liabilities that were recognized on the acquisition of Grapevine Logic, Inc. and a $361,059 reduction of the valuation allowance on Ideanomics, Inc. deferred tax assets in excess of those reversed to offset Ideanomics, Inc.’s income. The reduction in valuation allowance resulted from Ideanomics, Inc.’s acquisition of additional ownership interests in Grapevine Logic, Inc. which caused Grapevine Logic, Inc. to be included in a consolidated tax return with Ideanomics, Inc. beginning June 30, 2019. This meant that $361,059 of Ideanomics, Inc.’s deferred tax assets could be utilized to offset Grapevine Logic Inc.’s remaining deferred tax liabilities. No provision for income taxes has been provided for M.Y. Products, LLC, DBOT or Red Rock Global Capital Ltd. as neither of the companies had taxable profit since inception.

The Tax Cut and Jobs Act (TCJA) of 2018 includes provision for Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (GILTI) under which taxes on foreign income are imposed on the excess of a deemed return on tangible assets of certain foreign subsidiaries. TCJA also enacted the Base Erosion and Anti-Abuse Tax (BEAT) under which taxes are imposed on certain base eroding payments to related foreign companies, subject to certain requirements.

There are substantial uncertainties in the interpretation of BEAT and GILTI and while certain formal guidance has been issued by the U.S. tax authorities, there are still aspects of the TCJA that remain unclear and additional clarification is expected in 2019. Future guidance may result in changes to the interpretations and assumptions the company made and actions it may have to take, which may impact amounts recorded with respect to international provisions of the TCJA.

Based on current year financial results, the company has determined that there is no GILTI nor BEAT tax liability.

2933

In addition, the TCJA now entitles US companies that own 10% or more of a foreign corporation a 100% dividends-received deduction for the foreign-source portion of dividends paid by such foreign corporation. Also, net operating losses (NOLs) arising after December 31, 2018 are deductible only to the extent of 80% of the taxpayer’s taxable income, and may be carried forward indefinitely but generally not allowed to be carried back.

Cayman Islands and the British Virgin Islands

Under current laws of the Cayman Islands and the British Virgin Islands, the company is not subject to tax on its income or capital gains. In addition, dividend payments are not subject to withholding tax in the Cayman Islands or British Virgin Islands.

Hong Kong

The company’s subsidiaries incorporated in Hong Kong are subject to Profits Tax of 16.5%. No provision for Hong Kong Profits Tax has been made as NOL carryovers offset current taxable income.

The People’s Republic of China

Under the PRC’s Enterprise Income Tax Law (“EIT”), the company’s Chinese subsidiaries and VIEs are subject to an EIT of 25.0%.

The company’s future effective income tax rate depends on various factors, such as tax legislation, geographic composition of its pre-tax income and non-tax deductible expenses incurred. The company’s management regularly monitors these legislative developments to determine if there are changes in the statutory income tax rate.

The decrease was mainly due to a change to our business focus from logistics management to digital business consulting ~~services.~~services and electric vehicle businesses. Our business strategy and the primary goal for entering the crude oil and electronic trading businesses was to learn about the needs of buyers and sellers in these industries that rely heavily on the shipment of goods. Our activities in the crude oil trading and electronic trading business have been successful in various aspects in 2018, and for strategic reasons we have now phased out of our crude oil trading business and electronics trading business so that we can work towards enabling the application of our Fintech Ecosystem for other useful cases that we have identified. We intend to continue to capitalize on our efforts and learning from logistic management business so that we can leverage the applications of our technologies and FinTech Ecosystem across this business and as part of our Industry Ventures strategy.

We did not generate any revenue from YOD Legacy business in 2018 and for the three months ended September 30, 2019 since our new fintech services business strategy limits the support of the Legacy YOD business.

· an increase of $2.6 million in share-based compensation expense primarily related to the stock options granted to employees and directors during Q1 2019;
· an increase of $0.3 million in office related expenses; and
· an increase of $0.3 million in insurance expenses
Research and development expense
Research and development expense decreased to zero for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from $0.7 million in the same period in 2018. Majority of the expense in 2018 was related to the early stage technology development.
Professional fees
Professional fees are generally related to public company reporting and governance expenses as well as legal fees related to business transition and expansion. Our professional fees for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $1.4 million as compared to $1.9 million for the same period in 2018, a decrease of approximately $0.5 million. The decrease was related to a decrease in legal, valuation, audit and tax as well as fees associated with continuing to build out our technology ecosystem and establishing strategic partnerships and M&A activity as part of this technology ecosystem.
Impairment of property and equipment
Impairment of property and equipment increased $2.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018. The increase was due to the impairment charge recorded in connection with four of the five existing buildings on Fintech Village which are expected to be ~~recognized in 2019.~~
demolished.

Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $0.8 million as compared to $0.3 million for the same period in 2018, an increase of approximately $0.5 million. The increase was mainly due to the increase in amortization expense from intangible assets acquired during 2019.
Interest expense, net
Our interest expense increased $0.5 million to $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, from $0.1 million during the same period of 2018. The increase in interest expense was primarily because of the accretion of interest expense and amortization of beneficiary conversion features associated with the convertible note issued in February 2019.
Equity in loss of equity method investees
Loss of equity method investees increased $0.03 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 comparing to the same period in 2018 was primarily due to the net loss incurred in Glory (see Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).
Gain on disposal of subsidiaries
Gain on disposal of subsidiaries increased $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 comparing to the same period in 2018 was due to the disposal of Redrock and the dilution of the Company’s equity interest in Amer from 55% to 10% (see Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).
Loss on remeasurement of DBOT investment
Loss on remeasurement of DBOT investment increased $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 comparing to the same period in 2018 was due to the acquisition of controlling equity interest in DBOT which resulted in the remeasurement of the Company’s previously held equity interest in DBOT at the acquisition-date fair value.
Net (income) loss attributable to non-controlling interest
Net income attributable to non-controlling interests was approximately $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to a net loss of $0.3 million during the same period in 2018. The change is primarily due to the $1.4 million net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest of the Mobile Energy Group (“MEG”) in relation to the taxis commission revenue recognized during the quarter.

Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $44.5 million as compared to $362.6 million for the same period in 2018, a decrease of approximately $318.1 million, or 88%. The decrease was mainly due to a change to our business focus from logistics management to digital business consulting services and electric vehicle businesses. Our business strategy and the primary goal for entering the crude oil and electronic trading businesses was to learn about the needs of buyers and sellers in these industries that rely heavily on the shipment of goods. Our activities in the crude oil trading and electronic trading business have been successful in various aspects in 2018, and for strategic reasons we have now phased out of our crude oil trading business and electronics trading business so that we can work towards enabling the application of our Fintech Ecosystem for other useful cases that we have identified.
Please see Note 3 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this report.

We did not generate any revenue from YOD Legacy business in 2018 and for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019 since our new fintech services business strategy limits the support of the Legacy YOD business.

Impairment of property and equipment
Impairment of property and equipment increased $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018. The increase was due to the impairment charge recorded in connection with four of the five existing buildings on Fintech Village which are expected to be demolished.
Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019 was ~~$0.2~~$1.4 million as compared to ~~$0.01~~$0.3 million for the same period in 2018, an increase of approximately ~~$0.19~~$1.1 million. The increase was mainly due to the increase in amortization expense from intangible assets acquired ~~after the third quarter of year 2018.~~during 2019.

Interest expense, net

Our interest expense increased ~~$0.7~~$1.8 million to ~~$0.7~~$2.0 million for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019, from ~~$0.03~~$0.2 million during the same period of 2018.

~~Income tax expenses~~
As of March 31, 2019, the Company had approximately $26.3 million of the U.S domestic cumulative tax loss carryforwards and approximately $30.3 million of the foreign cumulative tax loss carryforwards which may be available to reduce future income tax liabilities in certain jurisdictions. $14.2 million U.S. tax loss carryforwards will expire beginning year 2027 through 2037 and the remaining U.S. tax loss is not subject to expiration under the new Tax Law. The foreign tax loss carryforwards will expire beginning year 2019 through 2023. We had utilized tax loss carryforwards against net income before income tax and therefore, there is no income tax for the three months period ended March 31, 2019.
~~We are not aware of any unrecorded tax liabilities which would impact our financial position or our results of operations.~~

Equity in loss of equity method investees

Loss of equity method investees increased ~~$0.3~~$0.6 million for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019 by comparing to the same period of 2018 iswas due to net loss incurred in DBOT for the first half of the year (see Note 89 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

Gain on disposal of subsidiaries
Gain on disposal of subsidiaries increased $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 comparing to the same period in 2018 was due to the disposal of Redrock and the dilution of the Company’s equity interest in Amer from 55% to 10% (see Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).
Loss on remeasurement of DBOT investment
Loss on remeasurement of DBOT investment increased $3.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 comparing to the same period in 2018 was due to the acquisition of controlling equity interest in DBOT which resulted in the remeasurement of the Company’s previously held equity interest in DBOT at the acquisition-date fair value.
Income tax expenses
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $513,935, $152,876 resulting from losses of Grapevine Logic, Inc. offsetting deferred tax liabilities that were recognized on the acquisition of Grapevine Logic, Inc. and a $361,059 reduction of the valuation allowance on Ideanomics, Inc. deferred tax assets in excess of those reversed to offset Ideanomics, Inc.’s income. The reduction in valuation allowance resulted from Ideanomics, Inc.’s acquisition of additional ownership interests in Grapevine Logic, Inc. which caused Grapevine Logic, Inc. to be included in a consolidated tax return with Ideanomics, Inc. beginning June 30, 2019. This meant that $361,059 of Ideanomics, Inc.’s deferred tax assets could be utilized to offset Grapevine Logic Inc.’s remaining deferred tax liabilities.
Net (income) loss attributable to non-controlling interest

~~No material changes.~~Net income attributable to non-controlling interests was approximately $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to a net loss of $0.6 million during the same period in 2018. The change is primarily due to (1) the $1.4 million net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest of the Mobile Energy Group (“MEG”) in relation to the taxis commission revenue recognized during the third quarter and (2) the decrease in net loss from Grapevine and Amer.

Operating Activities

Cash used in operating activities ~~increased~~decreased by ~~$1.4~~$8.9 million for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018, primarily due to (1) an increase in operating results from net loss ~~$3.8~~of $19.9 million infor the ~~first quarter of~~nine months ended September 30, 2018 to net income ~~$19.9~~of $12.9 million in the ~~first quarter of~~same period in 2019, (2) total non-cash adjustments increase (decrease) to net income (loss) was ~~$(25.1)~~$(25.5) million and ~~$0.15~~$3.8 million for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019 and 2018, ~~respectively;~~respectively, and (3) total changes in operating assets and liabilities resulted in an increase of ~~$0.4~~$3.9 million and of ~~$0.3~~$(1.5) million in cash used in operations activities for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities ~~increased~~decreased by ~~$0.8~~$3.3 million, primarily ~~used~~due to the $2.8 million cash consideration paid for the ~~additional costs incurred for Fintech Village, the related costs (approximately $0.6 million) and an increase~~acquisition of ~~approximately $0.2 million related to acquisitions of long term investments.~~Grapevine in 2018.

Financing Activities

We received ~~$2.1~~$4.8 million from the issuance of convertible notes and $2.5 million in proceeds in a private placement from the issuance of restricted shares for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019, to certain investors, including officers, directors and other affiliates. While in the same period in 2018, we received ~~$0.5~~$31.2 million. In addition, the borrowings from related parties increased by $1.8 million for the nine month ended September 30, 2019 from the same period in 2018.

Currently, our primary source of liquidity is cash on hand and we have relied on debt and equity financings to fund our operations to date. We believe that our cash balance and our expected cash flow, including additional debt & equity issuances will be sufficient to meet all of our financial obligations for the twelve months from the date of this report. ~~As described above, in March 2019, we received 1,250,000 GTB under asset purchase agreement and 7,083,333 GTB under our Digital Asset Management Services Agreement with GTD.~~

In the future, ~~it is possible that~~ we will need additional capital to fund our operations and growth initiatives, which we expect ~~we would~~to raise through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, related party or third-party funding. ~~We may also convert all or a portion of our GTB to fiat currency or U.S. Dollars as needed.~~

The ~~fact that~~Company’s operating strategy is to enter into joint ventures (JVs) with partners who bring special capabilities in a particular market sector, Because we operate through joint ventures we may be restricted by the operating agreement governing a particular JV from accessing any cash balances in the JV for use in other Company activities outside of the JV.
We have historically incurred significant ~~continuing~~ losses ~~and~~which could raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this report have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm’s report of the financial statements for year ended December 31, 2018, contained an explanatory paragraph regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Effects of Inflation

Inflation and changing prices have had an effect on our business and we expect that inflation or changing prices could materially affect our business in the foreseeable future. Our management will closely monitor the price change and make efforts to maintain effective cost control in operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Off-balance sheet arrangements are obligations the Company has with nonconsolidated entities related to transactions, agreements or other contractual arrangements. The Company holds variable interests in joint ventures accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The Company is not the primary beneficiary of these joint ventures and therefore is not required to consolidate these entities (see Note 89 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

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

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operation are based upon our unaudited consolidated financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make assumptions, estimates, and judgments that affect the amounts reported, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Since December 31, 2018, besides new accounting policy adopted (see Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements), there have been no material changes in the Company’s accounting policies that are impacted by judgments, assumptions and estimates. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Periodically, we review our critical accounting estimates with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.

See the discussion in this section for information regarding the Company's accounting policy with respect to digital ~~currencies.~~currency.

Digital Currency

Digital Currency ~~consist~~consists of (1) GTB received in connection with the services agreement and assets purchase agreement with ~~GTD.~~GTD and (2) GTB denominated in Bitcoin and Ethereum. The Bitcoin and Ethereum were obtained as part of the companies ongoing plan to convert its crypto currency holdings from GTB to Bitcoin & Ethereum in order to diversify our holdings of crypto currency. Given that there is limited precedent regarding the classification and measurement of cryptocurrencies and other digital ~~currencies~~currency under current GAAP, the Company has determined to account for these ~~currencies~~tokens as indefinite-lived intangible assets in accordance with ASC 350, ~~Intangibles—Goodwill~~Intangibles-Goodwill and Other until further guidance is issued by the FASB.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets are recorded at cost and are not subject to amortization, but shall be tested for impairment annually and more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired. If, at the time of an impairment test, the carrying amount of an intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss in an amount equal to the excess is recognized. The fair value of our digital currency, such as GTB, Bitcoin and Ethereum, was a Level 2 measurement based upon the consideration agreed by GTD and the Company with a discount considering volatility, risk and limitations at contract inception.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of accounting standards adopted related to leases. We do not expect any other recently issued accounting pronouncements will have a material effect on our financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information that would be required to be disclosed in Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the ~~quarter~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019, which have materially affected or would likely materially affect our internal control over financial reporting. The Company continues to invest resources in order to upgrade internal controls.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

~~There are no material pending~~For a description of our legal proceedings, see Note 18, Contingencies and Commitments, to ~~which we are a party or to which any~~the Consolidated Financial Statements of ~~our property is subject. To the best of our knowledge, no such actions against us are contemplated or threatened.~~this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our 2018 Annual Report which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K is not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results.

We are subject to risks related to holding cryptocurrencies and accepting cryptocurrencies as a form of payment.

We have formed strategic partnerships with third parties and entered into service agreements that provided us with cryptocurrencies as compensation for our services. Cryptocurrencies are not considered legal tender or backed by any government and have experienced price volatility, technological glitches and various law enforcement and regulatory interventions. The use of cryptocurrency such as bitcoin has been prohibited or effectively prohibited in some countries. If we fail to comply with prohibitions applicable to us, we could face regulatory or other enforcement actions and potential fines and other consequences.

As part of our strategy of forming strategic alliances with other companies in the blockchain and FinTech services industry, we may receive cryptocurrency or tokens as compensation for services. For instance, as part of our digital asset management services agreement with GTD, our compensation was paid in GTB. The prices of cryptocurrency, ~~including~~such as GTB, Bitcoins and Ethereum, are typically highly volatile and subject to exchange rate risks, as well as the risk that regulatory or other developments may adversely affect their value. However, our ~~GTB~~cryptocurrency will be tested for impairment annually and more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired. As a result, fluctuations in the market value of ~~GTB~~cryptocurrency could cause us to record an impairment charge on the value of our ~~GTB,~~cryptocurrency, which would directly impact our balance sheet and statements of operations. ~~We currently expect to hold our GTB unless we need cash to support our operations, at which time we may determine to convert to fiat currency and U.S Dollars.~~

In particular, our GTB may experience periods of extreme volatility due to (i) GTB having a very limited trading history, (ii) a lack of adoption of GTB by cryptocurrency holders, including a lack of adoption of cryptocurrencies generally due to the expense of mining cryptocurrencies in the current cryptocurrency price environment and (iii) GTB trading on one cryptocurrency exchange which has limited operating histories. Speculators and investors who seek to profit from trading and holding GTB currently account for a significant portion of GTB demand. Such speculation regarding the potential future appreciation in the value of GTB may artificially inflate their price. Fluctuations in the value of our GTB or any other cryptocurrencies that we hold may also lead to fluctuations in the value of our common stock. In addition, because of converting our holdings to fiat currency would likely take an extended period of time. If the exchange where GTB trades was to cease operations or no longer quote GTB, there would be no trading platform for GTB and it would likely be impossible to convert GTB into fiat currency.

In addition, there is substantial uncertainty regarding the future legal and regulatory requirements relating to cryptocurrency or transactions utilizing cryptocurrency. For instance, governments may in the near future curtail or outlaw the acquisition, use or redemption of cryptocurrencies. Ownership of, holding or trading in cryptocurrencies may then be considered illegal and subject to sanction. These uncertainties, as well as future accounting and tax developments, or other requirements relating to cryptocurrency, could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We may not be able to convert our holdings of cryptocurrencies into fiat
To date the Asia EDX exchange has not permitted us to convert any part of our holdings of GTB, Bitcoin & Ethereum to fiat. We are in regular contact with the exchange regarding the ability to convert some or all of our holdings to fiat, we have been informed that the exchange plans to introduce a capability to allow convertibility into fiat. It is possible that the Asia EDX Exchange may never allow GTB, Bitcoin & Ethereum held at the exchange to be converted into fiat.
The cryptocurrency exchange on which our GTBtrade has limited operating histories and, in most cases, is largely unregulated and, therefore, may be more exposed to fraud and failure than established, regulated exchanges for traditional securities and other products. To the extent that such exchange involved in fraud or experience security failures or other operational issues, it may result in negative impact to our financial results, or the loss or destruction of, our GTB.

The cryptocurrency exchange on which the GTB trade has limited operating histories and, in most cases, are largely unregulated. Furthermore, the cryptocurrency exchange does not provide the public with significant information regarding their ownership structure, management team, corporate practices or regulatory compliance. As a result, the marketplace may lose confidence in or may experience problems relating to such exchange. Cryptocurrency exchanges may impose daily, weekly, monthly or customer-specific transaction or distribution limits, or they may suspend withdrawals entirely, rendering the exchange of GTB for other digital assets or for fiat currency difficult or impossible.

Over the past few years, a number of cryptocurrency exchanges have been closed due to fraud, failure or security breaches. In many of these instances, the customers of such exchanges were not compensated or made whole for the partial or complete losses of their account balances in such exchanges. The AsiaEDX, ~~Exchange ,~~ which is the principal exchange for the GTB, launched in 2018 and is less likely to have the infrastructure and capitalization that make larger cryptocurrency exchanges more stable. As a result, the AsiaEDX ~~Exchange~~ may be at risk for cybersecurity attacks or may suffer from a greater exposure to technical failure.

3744

A lack of stability in the AsiaEDX or the other exchanges upon which GTB trade and their closure or temporary shutdown due to fraud, business failure, hackers or malware, or government-mandated regulation could result in us losing all or a portion of our GTB or may reduce confidence in the GTB and result in greater volatility in their pricing. If the GTB are delisted from the AsiaEDX or any other cryptocurrency exchange, or if any of the cryptocurrency exchanges that list GTB shut down or cease to continue operations, there may cease to be a liquid market for GTB. These potential consequences could also have a material adverse impact on our financial results. Moreover, the ~~exchange~~exchanges that list GTB operate outside of the United States. Accordingly, in the event of fraud, we may have difficulty successfully pursuing claims against these exchanges in the courts of the countries in which they are organized.

Currently, there are no regulated trading markets for our GTB or the other digital currencies that we hold, and therefore our ability to sell such ~~digital currencies~~tokens may be limited.

As of the date of this report, the online trading platforms on which the ~~digital currencies~~tokens we hold trade, including, with respect to our GTB, the AsiaEDX, currently does not qualify as registered exchanges within the meaning of federal securities laws or regulated alternative trading systems. To the extent the ~~digital currencies~~tokens trading on these platforms meet the definition of a security under federal securities laws, the platform is generally required to register with the SEC as a national securities exchange or be exempt from such registration requirements. The failure of these platforms to register as national securities exchanges or properly comply with registration exemptions could result in the SEC bringing an enforcement action seeking to prohibit, suspend or limit their operations. In such event, the ~~digital currencies~~tokens we hold may be tradable on a very limited range of venues, or not at all, and there may be periods where trading activity in ~~digital currencies~~tokens that we hold is minimal or non-existent. These potential consequences could have a material adverse impact on the trading price of the ~~digital currencies~~tokens that we hold and could render the exchange of our ~~digital currencies~~tokens for other digital assets or fiat currency difficult or impossible.

GTB and other cryptocurrencies that we hold may be subject to loss, theft or restriction on access.

There is a risk that some or all of our cryptocurrencies could be lost or stolen. Access to our coins could also be restricted by cybercrime. We currently hold all of our GTB in cold storage. Cold storage refers to any cryptocurrency wallet that is not connected to the internet. Cold storage is generally more secure but is not ideal for quick or regular transactions. We expect to continue to hold the majority of our cryptocurrencies in cold storage to reduce the risk of malfeasance, but this risk cannot be eliminated.

Hackers or malicious actors may launch attacks to steal, compromise or secure cryptocurrencies, such as by attacking the cryptocurrency network source code, exchange servers, third party platforms, cold and hot storage locations or software, or by other means. We are in control and possession of one of the more substantial holdings of GTB, and we may in the future hold substantial positions in other cryptocurrencies. As we increase in size, we may become a more appealing target of hackers, malware, cyber-attacks or other security threats. Any of these events may adversely affect our operations and, consequently, our investments and profitability. The loss or destruction of a private key required to access our digital wallets may be irreversible and we may be denied access for all time to our cryptocurrency holdings or the holdings of others. Our loss of access to our private keys or our experience of a data loss relating to our digital wallets could adversely affect our investments and assets.

Cryptocurrencies are controllable only by the possessor of both the unique public and private keys relating to the local or online digital wallet in which they are held, which wallet’s public key or address is reflected in the network’s public blockchain. We will publish the public key relating to digital wallets in use when we verify the receipt of transfers and disseminate such information into the network, but we will need to safeguard the private keys relating to such digital wallets. To the extent such private keys are lost, destroyed or otherwise compromised, we will be unable to access our cryptocurrency coins and such private keys may not be capable of being restored by any network. Any loss of private keys relating to digital wallets used to store our cryptocurrencies could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects or operations and the value of any GTB or other cryptocurrencies we hold for our own account.
Because there has been limited precedent set for financial accounting of cryptocurrencies and other digital assets, the determination that we have made for how to account for our GTB and any other digital assets we may acquire may be subject to change.
Because there has been limited precedent set for the accounting classification and measurement of cryptocurrency and other digital ~~currencies~~tokens and related revenue recognition, it is unclear how companies may in the future be required to account for digital asset transactions and assets and related revenue recognition. We are currently accounting for our GTB as indefinite-lived intangible assets in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification No. 350: ~~Intangibles—Goodwill~~Intangibles-Goodwill and Other. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are recorded at cost and are not subject to amortization, but shall be tested for impairment annually and more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired. However, a change in regulatory or financial accounting standards could result in the necessity to change our accounting methods and restate our financial statements. Such a restatement could adversely affect the accounting for our GTB or other cryptocurrencies that we may acquire and may more generally negatively impact our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operation.
