The VIEs pay to Chuangyi Technology annual service fees in the amount that guarantee that the VIEs can achieve, after deducting such service fees payable to Chuangyi Technology, a net cost-plus rate of no less than 0.5% in the case of Linghang Shengshi, and Jiaming Advertising, or 1.0% in the case of Beijing Yuehang, which final rate should be determined by Chuangyi Technology. The "net cost-plus rate" refers to the operating profit as a percentage of total costs and expenses of a certain entity. The technology support and service fees for each given year payable by AirNet Online to Chuangyi Technology under AirNet Online’s technology support and service agreement shall be determined by AirNet Online and Chuangyi Technology at the first month of such year taking into account several factors. Those factors include the credential of the team of Chuangyi Technology that provides services to AirNet Online, the number of service hours, the nature and value of the services provided by Chuangyi Technology, the extent to which Chuangyi Technology provides patent or other license to AirNet Online in its provision of technology support and service and the correlation between AirNet Online’s results of operations and the technology support and service provided by Chuangyi Technology. In the event Chuangyi Technology finds it necessary to make subsequent adjustment to the amount of fees, AirNet Online shall negotiate in good faith with Chuangyi Technology to determine the new fee. The technology support and service agreements are effective for ten years and such term is automatically renewed upon its expiry unless either party informs the other party of its intention of no extension at least twenty days prior to the expiration of the agreements. 1. The VIE arrangements - continued ● Technology development agreement: VIEs exclusively engaged Chuangyi Technology to provide technology development services. Chuangyi Technology owns the intellectual property rights developed in the performance of these agreements. Except for AirNet Online, the VIEs pay to Chuangyi Technology annual service fees in the amount that guarantee that the VIEs can achieve, after deducting such service fees payable to Chuangyi Technology, a net cost-plus rate of no less than 0.5% in the case of Linghang Shengshi, and Jiaming Advertising, which final rate should be determined by Chuangyi Technology. It is at Chuangyi Technology's sole discretion that the rate and amount of fees ultimately charged the VIEs under these agreements are determined. The "net cost-plus rate" refers to the operating profit as a percentage of total costs and expenses of a certain entity. The technology development fees for each given year payable by AirNet Online to Chuangyi Technology under AirNet Online’s technology development agreement shall be determined by AirNet Online and Chuangyi Technology at the first month of such year taking into account several factors. Those factors include the credential of the team of Chuangyi Technology that provides services to AirNet Online, the number of service hours, the nature and value of the services provided by Chuangyi Technology, the extent to which Chuangyi Technology provides patent or other license to AirNet Online in its provision of technology development service and the correlation between AirNet Online’s results of operations and the technology development service provided by Chuangyi Technology. In the event Chuangyi Technology finds it necessary to make subsequent adjustment to the amount of fees, AirNet Online shall negotiate in good faith with Chuangyi Technology to determine the new fee. The technology development agreements are effective for ten years and such terms is automatically renewed upon its expiry unless either party informs the other party of its intention of no extension at least twenty days prior to the expiration of the agreements. ● Exclusive Technology Consultation and Service Agreement: AirNet Online exclusively engages Chuangyi Technology to provide consultation services in relation to management, training, marketing and promotion. AirNet Online agrees to pay to Chuangyi Technology the amount of annual service fees as determined by Chuangyi Technology. In the event Chuangyi Technology finds it necessary to make subsequent adjustment to the amount of fees, AirNet Online shall negotiate in good faith with Chuangyi Technology to determine the new fees. The exclusive technology consultation and service agreement remains effective for ten years and such term may be reviewed by Chuangyi Technology’s written confirmation prior to the expiration of the agreement term. 1. The VIE arrangements - continued ● Call option agreement : Under the call option agreements between Chuangyi Technology and the shareholders of Linghang Shengshi, Beijing Yuehang and Jiaming Advertising, the shareholders of those VIEs irrevocably granted Chuangyi Technology or its designated third party an exclusive option to purchase from the VIEs' shareholders, to the extent permitted under PRC law, all the equity interests in the VIEs, as the case may be, for the minimum amount of consideration permitted by the applicable law without any other conditions. Under the call option agreements between Chuangyi Technology and the shareholders of AirNet Online, the shareholders of AirNet Online irrevocably granted Chuangyi Technology or its designated third party an exclusive option to purchase from the shareholders of AirNet Online, to the extent permitted under PRC law, all the equity interests in AirNet Online, as the case may be. To the extent the applicable PRC law does not require the valuation of the subject equity interests and does not otherwise restrict the purchase price for such equity interests, such purchase price shall equal the amount of actual payment made by the respective shareholders of AirNet Online with respect to the equity interests whether in the form or share capital injection or secondary purchase price. If and where the applicable PRC law requires the valuation of the subject equity interests or otherwise has restrictions on the purchase price for such equity interests, such purchase price shall equal the minimum amount of consideration permitted by the applicable law. In addition, under these agreements (except for the call option agreements between Chuangyi Technology and the shareholders of AirNet Online), Chuangyi Technology has undertaken to act as guarantor of VIEs in all operations-related contracts, agreements and transactions and commit to provide loans to support the business development needs of VIEs or if the VIEs suffer operating difficulties, provided that the relevant VIE's shareholders satisfy the terms and conditions in the call option agreements. Under PRC laws, to provide an effective guarantee, a guarantor needs to execute a specific written agreement with the beneficiary of the guarantee. As Chuangyi Technology has not entered into any written guarantee agreements with any third-party beneficiaries to guarantee the VIEs' performance obligations to these third parties, none of these third parties can demand performance from Chuangyi Technology as a guarantor of the VIEs' performance obligations. The absence of a written guarantee agreement, however, does not affect the conclusion that the Group is the primary beneficiary of the VIEs and in turn should consolidate the financials of the VIEs. The term of each call option agreement is ten years and such terms can be renewed upon expiration at Chuangyi Technology's sole discretion. ● Equity pledge agreement: Under the equity pledge agreements between Chuangyi Technology and the shareholders of the Group’s VIEs other than AirNet Online, the shareholders of those VIEs pledged all of their equity interests, including the right to receive declared dividends, in those VIEs to Chuangyi Technology to guarantee those VIEs' performance of their obligations under the technology support and service agreement and the technology development agreement. Under the equity pledge agreements between Chuangyi Technology and the shareholders of AirNet Online, the shareholders of AirNet Online pledged all of their equity interests, including the right to receive declared dividends, in AirNet Online to Chuangyi Technology to guarantee the performance by AirNet Online of its obligations under its call option agreement and its exclusive technology consultation and service agreement. If the VIEs fail to perform their obligations set forth in the applicable agreements, Chuangyi Technology shall be entitled to exercise all the remedies and powers set forth in the provisions of the applicable equity pledge agreements. Those agreements remain effective for as long as the technology support and service agreements and technology development agreement are effective, or, in the case of AirNet Online, until two years after the term of the obligations under the call option agreement and exclusive technology consultation and service agreement. 1. The VIE arrangements - continued ● Authorization letter: Each shareholder of the VIEs has executed an authorization letter to authorize Chuangyi Technology to exercise certain of its rights, including voting rights, the rights to enter into legal documents and the rights to transfer any or all of its equity interest in the VIEs. The authorization letters by the shareholders of the Group’s VIEs other than AirNet Online will remain effective during the operating periods of the respective VIEs. Such authorization is effective for ten years and such term is renewed upon its expiry at Chuangyi Technology's sole discretion. The authorization letters by the shareholders of AirNet Online will remain effective for as long as the respective parties remain shareholders of AirNet Online unless terminated earlier by Chuangyi Technology or the call option agreement with respect to AirNet Online is terminated prior to its expiration. Through the above contractual arrangements, Chuangyi Technology has obtained 100% of shareholders' voting interest in the VIEs, has the right to receive all dividends declared and paid by the VIEs and may receive substantially all of the net income of the VIEs through the technical support and service fees as determined by Chuangyi Technology at its sole discretion. Accordingly, the Group has consolidated the VIEs because the Group believes, through the contractual arrangements, (1) Chuangyi Technology could direct the activities of the VIEs that most significantly affect its economic performance and (2) Chuangyi Technology could receive substantially all of the benefits that could be potentially significant to the VIEs. Other than the contractual arrangements described above, because the management and certain employees of Chuangyi Technology also serve in the VIEs as management or employees, certain operating costs paid by Chuangyi Technology, such as payroll costs and office rental, were re-charged to the VIEs. Chuangyi Technology also entered into loan agreements with each shareholder of AirNet Online, pursuant to which Chuangyi Technology permits to make loans in an aggregate amount of RMB 50,000 to the shareholders of AirNet Online solely for the incorporation and capitalization of AirNet Online. The loan is interest free and the term of the loan is ten years and shall be automatically renewed on an annual basis unless Chuangyi Technology objects. Chuangyi Technology can require the shareholders to repay all or a portion of the loan before the maturity date with a 15 days prior written notice. Under such circumstances, Chuangyi Technology is entitled to, or designate a third party to, buy all or a portion of the shareholders' equity interests in AirNet Online on a pro rata basis based on the amount of the repaid principal of the loan. Risks in relation to the VIE structure The Group believes that the VIE arrangements are in compliance with PRC law and are legally enforceable. The shareholders of the VIEs are also shareholders of the Group and therefore have no current interest in seeking to act contrary to the contractual arrangements. However, uncertainties in the PRC legal system could limit the Group’s ability to enforce these contractual arrangements and if the shareholders of the VIEs were to reduce their interest in the Group, their interests may diverge from that of the Group and that may potentially increase the risk that they would seek to act contrary to the contractual terms, for example by influencing the VIEs not to pay the service fees when required to do so. The Group’s ability to control the VIEs also depends on the authorization letters that Chuangyi Technology has to vote on all matters requiring shareholder approval in the VIEs. As noted above, the Group believes the rights granted by the authorization letters is legally enforceable but may not be as effective as direct equity ownership. 1. Risks in relation to the VIE structure - continued In addition, if the legal structure and contractual arrangements were found to be in violation of any existing PRC laws and regulations, the PRC government could: ● revoke the business and operating licenses of the Group’s PRC subsidiaries and affiliates; ● discontinue or restricting the Group’s PRC subsidiaries’ and affiliates’ operations; ● impose conditions or requirements with which the Group or its PRC subsidiaries and affiliates may not be able to comply; or ● require the Group or its PRC subsidiaries and affiliates to restructure the relevant ownership structure or operations; The imposition of any of these penalties may result in a material and adverse effect on the Group’s ability to conduct the Group’s business. In addition, if the imposition of any of these penalties causes the Group to lose the rights to direct the activities of the VIEs and its subsidiaries or the right to receive their economic benefits, the Group would no longer be able to consolidate the VIEs. The Group does not believe that any penalties imposed or actions taken by the PRC Government would result in the liquidation of the Group, Chuangyi Technology, or the VIEs. Certain shareholders of VIEs are also beneficial owners or directors of the Company. In addition, certain beneficial owners and directors of the Company are also directors or officers of VIEs. Their interests as beneficial owners of VIEs may differ from the interests of the Company as a whole. The Company cannot be certain that if conflicts of interest arise, these parties will act in the best interests of the Company or that conflicts of interests will be resolved in the Company’s favor. Currently, the Company does not have existing arrangements to address potential conflicts of interest these parties may encounter in their capacity as beneficial owners of VIEs, on the one hand, and as beneficial owners of the Company, on the other hand. The Company believes the shareholders of VIEs will not act contrary to any of the contractual arrangements and the exclusive purchase right contract provides the Company with a mechanism to remove them as shareholders of VIEs should they act to the detriment of the Company. If any conflict of interest or dispute between the Company and the shareholders of VIEs arises and the Company is unable to resolve it, the Company would have to rely on legal proceedings in the PRC. Such legal proceedings could result in disruption of its business; moreover, there is substantial uncertainty as to the ultimate outcome of any such legal proceedings. 1. The VIE arrangements - continued The following financial statement information for AirNet’s VIEs were included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, presented net of intercompany eliminations, as of and for the years ended December 31: As of December 31, 2020 2021 Total current assets $ 55,850 $ 29,093 Total non-current assets 56,292 53,744 Total assets 112,142 82,837 Total current liabilities 107,221 350,652 Total non-current liabilities 2,608 13 Total liabilities $ 109,829 $ 350,665 For the years ended December 31, 2019 2020 2021 Net revenues $ 26,022 $ 23,434 $ 9,075 Net (loss) income (30,972) 7,672 (15,726) Net cash used in operating activities (14,813) (5,681) (5,230) Net cash provided by investing activities 4,440 352 — Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities (4,323) 19,164 (9,433) The VIEs contributed an aggregate of 100.0%, 100.0% and 77.7% of the consolidated net revenues for the years ended DECEMBER 31, 2019, 2020 AND 2021, respectively. As of December 31, 2020 and 2021, the VIEs accounted for an aggregate of 97.4% and 86.3%, respectively, of the consolidated total assets, and 94.3% and 71.3%, respectively, of the consolidated total liabilities. There are no consolidated VIEs’ assets that are collateral for the VIEs’ obligations and can only be used to settle the VIEs’ obligations. There are no creditors (or beneficial interest holders) of the VIEs that have recourse to the general credit of the Company or any of its consolidated subsidiaries. There are no terms in any arrangements, considering both explicit arrangements and implicit variable interests, which require the Company or its subsidiaries to provide financial support to the VIEs. However, if the VIEs ever need financial support, the Company or its subsidiaries may, at its option and subject to statutory limits and restrictions, provide financial support to its VIEs through loans to the shareholder of the VIEs or entrustment loans to the VIEs. 1. The VIE arrangements - continued On December 23, 2018, the State Council submitted the draft version of the Foreign Investment Law to the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, which was promulgated by the National People’s Congress on its official site on December 26, 2018 for public consultation until February 24, 2019. On March 15, 2019, the National People’s Congress approved the Foreign Investment Law, which On December 23, 2018, the PRC State Council submitted the draft version of the Foreign Investment Law to the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, which was promulgated by the National People’s Congress on its official site on December 26, 2018 for public consultation until February 24, 2019. On March 15, 2019, the National People’s Congress approved the Foreign Investment Law, which came into effect on January 1, 2020 and replaced the trio of existing laws regulating foreign investment in China, namely, the Sino-foreign Equity Joint Venture Enterprise Law, the Sino-foreign Cooperative Joint Venture Enterprise Law and the Wholly Foreign-invested Enterprise Law, together with their implementation rules and ancillary regulations. |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTI

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (a) Basis of presentation The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP"). (b) Going concern The Group has a history of operating losses and negative operating cash flows and has negative working capital of $68,308 as of December 31, 2021.These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Group plans to restructure their business by selling the air travel media network business to its CEO, Mr. Man Guo, and then focus on cryptocurrency mining. The sale of the air travel media network business has not been determined as of the date of the issuance of these financial statements. As a result, management prepared the consolidated financial statements assuming the Group will continue as a going concern. However, there is no assurance that the measures above can be achieved as planned. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. (c) Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries, its VIEs and its VIEs’ subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued (d) Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period and accompanying notes, including allowance for doubtful accounts, the useful lives of property and equipment, impairment of long-term investments, impairment of long-lived assets, share-based compensation and valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates. (e) Significant risks and uncertainties The Group participates in a dynamic industry and believes that changes in any of the following areas could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s future financial position, results of operations, or cash flows: net losses in the past and futures; failure in launching new business; a significant or prolonged economic downturn; contraction in the air travel advertising industry in China; competition from other competitors; regulatory or other PRC related factors; fluctuations in the demand for air travel; past and future acquisitions; failure to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting and effective disclosure controls and procedures; risks associated with the Group’s ability to attract and retain employees necessary to support its growth; risks associated with the Group’s growth strategies; and general risks associated with the industry. (f) Fair value Fair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Group considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. Authoritative literature provides a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The level in the hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement as follows: Level 1 Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued (f) Fair value - continued Level 2 Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. Level 3 Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. (g) Fair value of financial instruments The Group’s financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, cryptocurrency, amount due from related parties, amount due to related parties and accounts payable. The Group did not have any other financial assets and liabilities or nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on recurring basis as of December 31, 2020 and 2021. The Group’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include equity investment and long-lived assets based on level 2 or 3 inputs. (h) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and highly liquid deposits which are unrestricted as to withdrawal or use, and which have original maturities of three months or less when purchased. (i) Restricted cash Restricted cash consists of certificates of deposits pledged for loans from third parties. As of December 31, 2021, the pledged amount was $15,327 and nil for a litigation matter as disclosed in Note 19 (b). The pledged amount for certificated deposits of $15,327 was financed from proceeds received from two third parties under a short-term loan arrangement. In 2021 the Group repaid all the amount to the third parties. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued (j) Cryptocurrencies Cryptocurrencies are included in current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Cryptocurrencies awarded to the Group through its mining activities are accounted for in connection with the Group's revenue recognition policy disclosed below. Cryptocurrencies held are accounted for as intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is not amortized but assessed for impairment annually, or more frequently, when events or changes in circumstances occur indicating that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived asset is impaired. Impairment exists when the carrying amount exceeds its fair value, which is measured using the quoted price of the cryptocurrency at the time its fair value is being measured. In testing for impairment, the Group has the option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an impairment exists. If it is determined that it is not more likely than not that an impairment exists, a quantitative impairment test is not necessary. If the Group concludes otherwise, it is required to perform a quantitative impairment test. To the extent an impairment loss is recognized, the loss establishes the new cost basis of the asset. Subsequent reversal of impairment losses is not permitted. Cryptocurrencies awarded to the Group through its mining activities are included within operating activities on the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows. The sales of cryptocurrencies are included within investing activities in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows and any realized gains or losses from such sales are included in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations. The Group accounts for its gains or losses in accordance with the first in first out (FIFO) method of accounting. (k) Allowance for doubtful accounts The Group adopted ASC 326 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses using the modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to accumulated deficit. Management used an expected credit loss model for the impairment of trading receivables as of period ends. Management believes the aging of accounts receivable is a reasonable parameter to estimate expected credit loss, and determines expected credit losses for accounts receivables using an aging schedule as of period ends. The expected credit loss rates under each aging schedule were developed on basis of the average historical loss rates from previous years, and adjusted to reflect the effects of those differences in current conditions and forecasted changes. Management measured the expected credit losses of accounts receivable on a collective basis. When an accounts receivable does not share risk characteristics with other accounts receivables, management will evaluate such accounts receivable for expected credit loss on an individual basis. Doubtful accounts balances are written off and deducted from allowance, when receivables are deemed uncollectible, after all collection efforts have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued (l) Property and equipment , net Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives: Digital display network equipment 5 years Furniture and fixture 5 years Computer and office equipment 3 5 Vehicle 5 years Software 5 years Office property 40 years Leasehold improvement Shorter of the term of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the assets Costs of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred and asset improvements that extend the useful life are capitalized. The gain or loss on disposal of property and equipment is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant assets and is recognized in the consolidated income statement. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations for the respective period. (m) Impairment of long-lived assets Long-lived assets held and used by the Group are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be fully recoverable. It is possible that these assets could become impaired as a result of technology, economy or other industry changes. If circumstances require a long-lived asset or asset group to be tested for possible impairment, the Group first compares undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset or asset group to its carrying value. If the carrying value of the long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow models, relief from royalty income approach, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary. The Group makes various assumptions and estimates regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors in determining the fair values of the respective assets. The assumptions and estimates used to determine future values and remaining useful lives of long-lived assets are complex and subjective. They can be affected by various factors, including external factors such as industry and economic trends, and internal factors such as the Group’s business strategy and its forecasts for specific market expansion. As of December 31, 2021, the net carrying amount of long-lived assets consisted of right of use asset of $18 and property and equipment of $19,302. The property and equipment mainly included office building located in the center of Beijing of $10,383 , and computers for cryptocurrency mining and other office equipment of $6,600. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued (n) Long-term investments Equity method investments Investee companies over which the Group has the ability to exercise significant influence, but does not have a controlling interest are accounted for using the equity method. Significant influence is generally considered to exist when the Group has an ownership interest in the voting stock of the investee between 20% and 50%, and other factors, such as representation on the investee’s Board of Directors, voting rights and the impact of commercial arrangements, are considered in determining whether the equity method of accounting is appropriate. Equity investments without readily determinable fair values For investments in an investee over which the Group does not have significant influence, the Group carries the investment at cost and recognizes income as any dividends declared from distribution of investee’s earnings. The Group reviews the equity investments without readily determinable fair values for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may no longer be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized in earnings equal to the difference between the investment’s carrying amount and its fair value at the balance sheet date of the reporting period for which the assessment is made. All equity investments, except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those resulting in the consolidation of the investee, be accounted for at fair value with all fair value changes recognized in income. For equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values the Group measures the equity investment 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 Group. Impairment for long-term investments The Group assesses its long-term investments for other-than-temporary impairment by considering factors including, but not limited to, current economic and market conditions, operating performance of the companies, including current earnings trends and undiscounted cash flows, and other company-specific information. The fair value determination, particularly for investments in privately-held companies, requires significant judgment to determine appropriate estimates and assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could affect the calculation of the fair value of the investments and determination of whether any identified impairment is other-than-temporary. Other-than-temporary impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income equal to the excess of the investment’s carrying value over its fair value at the balance sheet date of the reporting period for which the assessment is made. The fair value would then become the new cost basis of such investment. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued (o) Leases In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim periods) beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. The Group has adopted the Topic 842 on January 1, 2019 using a modified retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard to leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the consolidated financial statements. The Group leases its offices, which are classified as operating leases in accordance with Topic 842. Under Topic 842, lessees are required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) on the commencement date: (i) lease liability, which is a lessee's obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (ii) right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee's right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. At the commencement date, the Group recognizes the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments not yet paid, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group's incremental borrowing rate for the same term as the underlying lease. The right-of-use asset is recognized initially at cost, which primarily comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, plus any initial direct costs incurred, consisting mainly of brokerage commissions, less any lease incentives received. All right-of-use assets are reviewed for impairment. No impairment for right-of-use lease assets as of December 31, 2021. The Group's lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. (p) Revenue recognition On January 1, 2018, the Group adopted ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, applying the modified retrospective method. The adoption did not result in a material adjustment to the accumulated deficit as of January 1, 2018. In accordance with ASC Topic 606, revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the Group’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Group expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. In determining when and how much revenue is recognized from contracts with customers, the Group performs the following five-step analysis: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Group’s contract with customers do not include multiple performance obligations, significant financing component and any variable consideration. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued (p) Revenue recognition - continued The Group is a principal as it controls the specified good or service before that good or service is transferred to a customer. The Group is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified good or service, has inventory risk before the specified good or service has been transferred to a customer and has discretion in establishing the price for the specified good or service. Generally, the Group recognizes revenue under ASC Topic 606 for each type of its performance obligation either over time (generally, the transfer of a service) or at a point in time (generally, the transfer of content) as follows: The Group’s revenues are mainly derived from selling advertising time slots on the Group’s advertising networks and cryptocurrency mining. Revenue by service categories For the years ended December 31, 2019 2020 2021 Revenues from operations: Air Travel Media Network $ 25,954 $ 23,474 $ 9,191 Cryptocurrency Mining — — 2,604 Other Media 271 72 1 $ 26,225 $ 23,546 $ 11,796 Air Travel Media Network: For the advertising business, the Group typically signs standard contracts with its advertising clients, who require the Group to run the client's advertisements for a fixed fee on airlines the Group's contracts with for a specified time period. The Group recognizes advertising revenues ratably over the service period for which the advertisements are displayed, so long as collection remains probable. The Group also generates revenue from programs that are run on airlines for a period of time. The Group signs standard contracts with the customer who has the copyright of movies or TV programs and requires the Group to play the program for a fixed fee on airlines for a specified time The Group recognizes program display revenues ratably over the performance period for which the program is played, so long as collection remains probable. It also consisted the revenue through other media network such as on-train and on long-haul bus Wi-Fi network and self-owned and third parties’ public accounts, the Group provides Wechat public account promotion and advertising and promotion articles publishing services. For the public account promotion business, the passengers in the trains could connect to Wi-Fi for free via the Group's Wi-Fi equipment after registered as a member to that public account as a follower in WeChat. The Group charges a fix rate per new member and collects service fee from the client who owns the public accounts. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued (p) Revenue recognition - continued Cryptocurrency mining The provision of providing such computing power is the only performance obligation in the Group’s contracts with mining pool operators. The transaction consideration the Group receives, if any, is noncash consideration, which the Group measures at fair value on the date received, which is not materially different than the fair value at contract inception or the time the Group has earned the award from the pools. The consideration is all variable. Because it is not probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will not occur, the consideration is constrained until the mining pool operator successfully places a block and the Group receives confirmation of the consideration it will receive, at which time revenue is recognized. There is no significant financing component in these transactions. Fair value of the cryptocurrency award received is determined using the quoted price of the related cryptocurrency at the time of receipt. There is currently no specific definitive guidance under GAAP or alternative accounting framework for the accounting for cryptocurrencies recognized as revenue or held, and management has exercised significant judgment in determining the appropriate accounting treatment. In the event authoritative guidance is enacted by the FASB, the Group may be required to change its policies, which could have an effect on the Group’s consolidated financial position and results from operations. For the advertising and promotion articles publishing business, the group has developed a public accounts pool which have already accumulated hundreds and thousands of registered users (there are both self-owned and third parties’ public accounts). Wechat public account promotion through on-train Wi-Fi network was ceased in 2019 and no revenue was generated from Wechat public account promotion through Wi-Fi network in following years. The Group still generated immaterial revenue in other self-owned and third parties' public accounts. Deferred revenue Prepayments from customers for advertising service are deferred when corresponding performance obligation is not satisfied and recognized as revenue when the advertising services are rendered. The balance of deferred revenue as of December 31, 2021 is $3,428, the majority of which is $1,776 for the unsatisfied performance obligation with two customers with contracts amount of $1,874. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued (p) Revenue recognition - continued Nonmonetary exchanges The Group occasionally exchanges advertising time slots and locations with other entities for assets or services, such as equipment and other assets. The amount of assets and revenue recognized is based on the fair value of the advertising provided or the fair value of the transferred assets, whichever is more readily determinable. In 2019, the Group provided advertising time slots and locations to SINOPEC Yijie Sales Co., Ltd. (“Yijie”) as a part of settlement of the concession fee due to Yijie and recognized revenue of $792. In addition, the Group provided gas station display network equipment to settle the concession fee of $3,678 due to Yijie. In 2019 the Group also entered into a contract with Beijing Kingsoft Co., Ltd.(“Kingsoft”) to provide advertising services in exchange for office software and recognized revenue of $431. As of December 31, 2019, the Group has received the office software and accounted it as property and equipment, while a deferred revenue was accrued in the meantime as the agreed advertising services has not been provided. As of December 31, 2020, the advertising services have not been provided as Kingsoft did not require the advertising service considering the low efficiency of advertisement due to the impact from COVID-19. No direct costs are attributable to the revenues. There were no revenue recognized for nonmonetary transactions for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021. (q) Value Added Tax ("VAT") The Company’s PRC subsidiaries are subject to value-added taxes at a rate of 6% on revenues and paid after deducting input VAT on purchases. The net VAT balance between input VAT and output VAT is reflected in the account as input VAT receivable or other taxes payable. The Group’s gross revenue is presented net of VAT. As of December 31, 2021, the Group assessed the recoverability of estimated input VAT that was generated in prior year and recognized a cost of non-deductible input VAT that was generated in prior years of $521 for the year ended December 31, 2021. (r) Concession fees The Group enters concession right agreements with vendors such as airlines and railway bureaus, under which the Group obtains the right to use the spaces or equipment of the vendors to display the advertisements. Fees under concession right agreements are usually due every three, six or twelve months. Payments made are recorded as current assets and current liabilities according to the respective payment terms. Most of the concession fees with airlines and railway bureaus are fixed with escalation, which means a fixed increase over each year of the agreements. The total concession fee under the concession right agreements with airlines is charged to the consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the agreement periods, which is generally between three to five years. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued (s) Agency fees and Advertisement Publishing Fees The Group pays fees to advertising agencies for identifying and introducing advertisers to the Group and assisting in advertisement publishing based on a certain percentage of revenues made through the advertisement agencies upon receipt of payment from advertisers. The agency fees and advertisement publishing fees are charged to cost of revenues in the consolidated statements of operations ratably over the period in which the advertisement is displayed. Prepaid and accrued agency fees and advertisement publishing fees are recorded as current assets and current liabilities according to relative timing of payments made and advertising service provided. (t) Advertising costs The Group expenses advertising costs as incurred. Total advertising expenses were $622, $201 and $143 for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively, and have been included as part of selling and marketing expenses. (u) Foreign currency translation The functional and reporting currency of the Company and the Company’s subsidiaries domiciled in BVI and Hong Kong are the United States dollar ("U.S. dollar"). The financial records of the Company’s other subsidiaries, VIEs and VIEs’ subsidiaries located in the PRC are maintained in their local currency, the Renminbi ("RMB"), which are the functional currency of these entities. (u) Foreign currency translation - continued Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency during the year are converted into functional currency at the applicable rates of exchange prevailing when the transactions occurred. Transaction gains and losses are recognized in the statements of operations. The Group’s entities with functional currency of RMB translate their operating results and financial position into the U.S. dollar, the Company’s reporting currency. Assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rates in effect on the balance sheet date. Revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translated using the average rate for the year. Retained earnings and equity are translated using the historical rate. Translation adjustments are reported as cumulative translation adjustments and are shown as a separate component of other comprehensive income. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued (v) Income taxes Deferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements, net operating loss carry forwards and credits, by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws and regulations applicable to the Group as enacted by the relevant tax authorities. The impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant tax authorities. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. Additionally, the Group classifies the interest and penalties, if any, as a component of the income tax expense. According to the PRC Tax Administration and Collection Law, the statute of limitations is three years if the underpayment of taxes is due to computational errors made by the taxpayer or the withholding agent. The statute of limitations is extended to five years under special circumstances, where the underpayment of taxes is more than RMB 100 thousand. In the case of transfer pricing issues, the statute of limitation is ten years. There is no statute of limitation in the case of tax evasion. According to Hong Kong Inland Revenue Department, the statute of limitation is six years if any company chargeable with tax has not been assessed or has been assessed at less than the proper amount, the statute of limitation is extended to 10 years if the underpayment of taxes is due to fraud or willful evasion. The Group evaluates each uncertain tax position (including the potential application of interest and penalties) based on the technical merits, and measure the unrecognized benefits associated with the tax positions. As of December 31, 2021, the Group had no uncertain tax positions that if recognized would affect the annual effective tax rate. The Group is not currently under examination by any income taxing authority, nor has it been notified of an impending examination. As of December 31, 2021, tax years 2017 to present are subject to examination by the tax authorities. (w) Share-based payments Share-based payment transactions with employees are measured based on the grant date fair value of the equity instrument issued, and recognized as compensation expenses over the requisite service periods based on a straight-line method, with a corresponding impact reflected in additional paid-in capital. Share-based payment transactions with non-employees are measured based on the fair value of the options on the measurement date as of each reporting date and recognized as expense over the requisite service periods on a straight-line method subject to adjustments in fair value, with a corresponding impact reflected in additional paid-in capital. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued (x) Comprehensive (loss) income Comprehensive (loss) income includes net (loss) income and foreign currency translation adjustments and is presented net of tax. The tax effect is nil for the three years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021 in the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income.

INCOME TAXES - continued The principal components of the Group's deferred income tax assets are as follows: As of December 31, 2020 2021 Deferred tax assets: Allowance for doubtful accounts $ 15,547 $ 10,456 Amortization of intangible assets 726 589 Net operating loss carry forwards 29,572 44,878 Excess marketing and advertising expense (15%) 52 42 Impairment on inventory 85 — Share transfer loss 11,836 — Recognized cost of non-deductible VAT-input that generated in prior years 348 521 Total deferred tax assets 58,166 56,486 Valuation allowance (58,166) (56,486) Total deferred tax assets, net $ — $ — The Group had deferred tax assets which consisted of tax loss carry-forwards, accruals and reserves which can be carried forward to offset future taxable income. The valuation allowance provided as of December 31, 2020 and 2021 relates to the deferred tax assets generated by the Group’s VIEs. The Group's subsidiaries in the PRC had total net operating loss carry forwards approximately of $7,169 as of December 31, 2021. The net operating loss carry forwards for the PRC subsidiaries will expire on various dates through year 2026. The Group's valuation allowance decreased by $1,680 from $58,166 as of December 31, 2020 to $56,486 as of December 31, 2021. The Group evaluates each UTP (including the potential application of interest and penalties) based on the technical merits, and measure the unrecognized benefits associated with the tax positions. In 2018, the Group incurred penalties of $4,324 related to underpayment or delayed payment for income tax expense of previous years. A tax penalty of $2,664 was assessed for a one-year delay of income taxes owed for 2015 arising from the gain on transferring 75% equity of AM Advertising and a tax penalty of $1,660 was assessed for the unpaid income tax expense of 2016 for the deduction of bad debt allowances from taxable income before tax without attempting to enforce collections of the assets and filing a special declaration of loss in asset. After paying the penalties noted above in 2018, taxes payable as of December 31, 2018 was $11,065. The Group determined that the unpaid tax liability was an uncertain tax (“UTP”) position as it is not more likely than not to be sustained on audit if the tax authorities were to re-examine this position. The tax authorities have not re-examined this position and the statute of limitations has expired as of the end of 2020. Therefore, the UTP was eliminated as a result of the lapse of the applicable statute of limitations. For years ending December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, the Group recognized no interest expense related to unrecognized tax benefits. The Group is not currently under examination by any income taxing authority, nor has it been notified of an impending examination. As of December 31, 2021, tax years 2017 to present are subject to examination by the tax authorities. 10. INCOME TAXES - continued Uncertainties exist with respect to how the current income tax law in the PRC applies to the Group’s overall operations, and more specifically, with regard to tax residency status. New EIT Law includes a provision specifying that legal entities organized outside of China will be considered residents for Chinese income tax purposes if the place of effective management or control is within China. The Implementation Rules to the new EIT Law provide that non-resident legal entities will be considered China residents if substantial and overall management and control over the manufacturing and business operations, personnel, accounting, properties, etc., occurs within China. Additional guidance is expected to be released by the Chinese government in the near future that may clarify how to apply this standard to tax payers. Despite the present uncertainties resulting from the limited PRC tax guidance on the issue, the Group does not believe that its legal entities organized outside of China should be treated as residents for new EIT Law purposes. If the PRC tax authorities subsequently determine that the Company and its subsidiaries registered outside the PRC should be deemed resident enterprises, the Company and its subsidiaries registered outside the PRC will be subject to the PRC income tax at a rate of 25%. However, the Company’s subsidiaries located in the PRC were in a loss position and had accumulated deficit as of December 31,2021, and the tax basis for the investment was greater than the carrying value of this investment. A deferred tax asset should be recognized for this temporary difference only if it is apparent that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future. Absent of evidence of a reversal in the foreseeable future, no deferred tax asset for such temporary difference was recorded. The Company did not record any tax on any of the undistributed earnings because the relevant subsidiaries do not intend to declare dividends and the Company intends to permanently reinvest it within the PRC. Aggregate undistributed earnings of the Company’s subsidiaries located in the PRC that are available for distribution to the Company are considered to be indefinitely reinvested and accordingly, no provision has been made for the Chinese dividend withholding taxes that would be payable upon the distribution of those amounts to the Company. The Chinese tax authorities have also clarified that distributions made out of pre-January 1, 2008 retained earnings will not be subject to the withholding tax. |

There was $251 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested share options granted as of December 31, 2021, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period 0.40 years on a straight-line basis. (1) Volatility The volatility of the underlying ordinary shares during the life of the options was estimated based on the historical stock price volatility of the Company’s ordinary shares and listed shares of comparable companies over a period comparable to the expected term of the options. From March 2011, the volatility was estimated based on the historical volatility of the Company’s share price as the Company has accumulated sufficient history of stock price for a period comparable to the expected term of the options. (2) Risk-free rate Risk-free rate is based on yield of US Treasury bill as of valuation date with maturity date close to the expected term of the options. 12. SHARE BASED PAYMENTS - continued (3) Expected term The expected term is estimated based on a consideration of factors including the original contractual term and the vesting term. (4) Dividend yield The dividend yield was estimated by the Group based on its expected dividend policy over the expected term of the options. The Group has no plan to pay any dividend in the foreseeable future. Therefore, the Group considers the dividend yield to be zero. (5) Exercise price The exercise price of the options was determined by the Group’s Board of Directors. (6) Fair value of underlying ordinary shares The closing market price of the ordinary shares of the Company as of the grant/modification date was used as the fair value of the ordinary shares on that date. No options were granted during 2019 to 2021.

The fair value was determined using models with significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs). This was based on a number of key assumptions, including, but not limited to, undiscounted future cash flows and the annual net revenue projections based on the projected levels of advertising activities during the forecast periods, all of which were classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. As a result, the Group recorded nil, nil and nil impairment charged for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively. The Group measured its long-term investment in AM Advertising at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as result of the disposal transaction.

LIABILITIES FOR LITIGATION | |
LIABILITIES FOR LITIGATION | 19. LIABILITIES FOR LITIGATION (a) A majority of the digital frames and digital TV screens in the Group’s network include programs that consist of both advertising content and non-advertising content. On December 6, 2007, the State Administration of Radio, Film or Television, or the SARFT, a governmental authority in the PRC, issued a Circular regarding Strengthening the Management of Public Audio-Video in Automobiles, Buildings and Other Public Areas, or the SARFT Circular. According to the SARFT Circular, displaying audio-video programs such as television news, films and television shows, sports, technology and entertainment through public audio-video systems located in automobiles, buildings, airports, bus or train stations, shops, banks and hospitals and other outdoor public systems must be approved by the SARFT. The Group intends to obtain the requisite approval of the SARFT for the Group’s non-advertising content, but the Group cannot assure that the Group will obtain such approval in compliance with this SARFT Circular, or at all. In January 2014, the Group entered into a strategic alliance with China Radio International Oriental Network (Beijing) Co., Ltd ("CRION"), which manages the internet TV business of China International Broadcasting Network, to operate the CIBN-AirNet channel for broadcast network TV programs to air travelers in China. According to the terms of the cooperation arrangement with CRION, during the cooperation period from March 28, 2014 to March 27, 2024, CRION shall obtain and, from time to time, be responsible for obtaining any approval, license and consent regarding the regulation of broadcasting and television from relevant authorities. 19. LIABILITIES FOR LITIGATION - continued There is no assurance that CRION will be able to obtain or maintain the requisite approval or the Group will be able to renew the contract with CRION when they expire. If the requisite approval is not obtained, the Group will be required to eliminate non-advertising content from the programs included in the Group’s digital frames and digital TV screens and advertisers may find the Group’s network less attractive and be unwilling to purchase advertising time slots on the Group’s network. As of December 31, 2021, the Group did not record a provision for these matters as management believes the possibility of adverse outcome of the matters is remote and any liability it may incur would not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial statements. However, it is not possible for the Group to predict the ultimate outcome and the possible range of the potential impact of failure to obtain such disclosed registrations and approvals primarily due to the lack of relevant data and information in the market in this industry in the past. (b) AM Advertising Dispute Linghang Shengshi had served a legal letter, dated June 29, 2016 (the “Legal Letter”), on Longde Wenchuang to challenge the proposed transfers by Longde Wenchuang of their equity interests in AM Advertising to Shanghai Golden Bridge InfoTech Co., Ltd. (stock code: 603918), a PRC company with its shares listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange (“Golden Bridge”). As of the date of the Legal Letter, Linghang Shengshi held 24.84% of the equity interests in AM Advertising. Longde Wenchuang and Culture Center held 28.57% and 46.43%, respectively, of the equity interests in AM Advertising. On June 14, 2016, Longde Wenchuang entered into an equity interest transfer agreement with Golden Bridge to transfer 75% equity interests in AM Advertising to Golden Bridge in consideration for shares in Golden Bridge (the “Transfer”). Neither of Longde Wenchuang sought consent from Linghang Shengshi with respect to the Transfer in accordance with the provisions of the Company Law of the People’s Republic of China (the “Company Law”). Linghang Shengshi challenges the validity of the Transfer on the ground that it violated the statutory right of first refusal of Linghang Shengshi under the Company Law. Subsequent to the Group’s legal letter, Golden Bridge ceased acquisition of 75% equity interest of AM Advertising from Longde Wenchuang and Culture Center. Longde Wenchuang and Culture Center further dismissed the Group’s representative from Co-CEO position of AM Advertising. On September 2, 2016, the Group received notice (the “September 2, 2016 Notice”) from the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission (the “CIETAC”) that the Company, Chuangyi Technology, Linghang Shengshi and Mr. Herman Man Guo (collectively, the “Respondents”) were named as respondents by the Culture Center in an arbitration proceeding submitted by the Culture Center to the CIETAC in connection with the sale by the Group of 75% equity interests in AM Advertising to Culture Center and Longde Wenchuang in June 2015. Culture Center seeks specific performance by the Respondents of certain obligations under the transaction documents, which include, among other things, (i) the pledge by Linghang Shengshi and Mr. Guo of their respective equity interests in AM Advertising to Culture Center as security for their obligations under the transaction documents, (ii) the use of best efforts by the Respondents to cooperate with the Culture Center and Longde Wenchuang to procure the listing of AM Advertising in China and (iii) the performance by the Group and Mr. Guo of their respective non-compete obligations to refrain from holding, operating, or otherwise participating in any business that is the same or substantially the same as that of AM Advertising. The Group believes the arbitration request is without merit and intends to defend the actions vigorously. However, no assurances can be provided that the Group will prevail in this arbitration proceeding. In response to the September 2, 2016 Notice, the Group filed a notice against Culture Center to CIETAC for their breach of contract. 19. LIABILITIES FOR LITIGATION - continued As a result of the above disputes, the Group is no longer able to exercise significant influence in operating and strategic decision of AM Advertising and cannot access to AM Advertising’s financial information. Accordingly, the Group accounted its investment in AM Advertising as equity investments without readily determinable fair values (see Note 7) as of December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021. AM Advertising and its subsidiaries are no longer related parties to the Group. As of December 31, 2016, the Group treated the provision for earnout commitment of $23,549 as contingent liability and did not record any additional provision for this matter as management believes the possibility of adverse outcome of the matter is remote and any liability it may incur would not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial statements. During 2018, a memorandum of understanding and various supplemental agreements (collectively the "MoU") were , were entered into with, among others, Longde Wenchuang and Beijing Cultural Center Construction and Development Fund (Limited Partnership), under which, among other things, Linghang Shengshi and Mr. Guo have agreed to pay or make available to AM Advertising on or prior to May 30, 2018 and further extended to September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2018 an aggregate of RMB304.5 million which was to be discounted by the following amounts (i) the RMB152.0 million profits attributable to Linghang Shengshi, Mr. Guo and Mr. Xu for the first nine months of 2015, based on a third-party pro forma audit report on AM Advertising; (ii) the loan of RMB88.0 million in principal balance and RMB7.8 million in interests; and (iii) the payment of RMB56.7 million in cash after the sale of the 20.32% equity interests in AM Advertising, which consisted of 20.18% equity interests hold by the Group and 0.14% equity interests hold by Mr. Man Guo and Mr. Qing Xu on behalf of the Group, and following the completion of the foregoing arrangements, the Group’s obligations with respect to the profit target for 2015, the earnout provision for the first nine months of 2015 and the loans between AM Advertising and Linghang Shengshi shall be deem completed. According to the aforesaid MoU, after Linghang Shengshi, Mr. Guo and Mr. Xu transfer all the equity interest of AM Advertising, they will cease to be shareholders of AM Advertising and will not be able to continuously assume the obligations in connection with the profit commitment and earn out provision as a matter of fact. The sale of the 20.32% equity interests in AM Advertising (therein 20.18% was held by the Group) has been completed as of December 31,2018, while the cash payment of RMB56.7 million to Longde Wenchuang and Beijing Cultural Center Construction and Development Fund (Limited Partnership) has not been paid yet by the Group as of December 31, 2021. Upon the effectiveness of MoU, the Group has written off the contingency of provision for earnout provision, and has recorded an actual payable of earnout provision in the amount of RMB152.6 million as of December 31, 2018. On June 27, 2019, Linghang Shengshi received a letter of notification from AM Advertising requiring for the immediate payment for the net settlement of RMB 56.7 million (the “Letter”) and Linghang Shengshi responded to the Letter on June 28, 2019 by urging AM Advertising to cooperate with income tax deduction. According to an independent third-party attorney's legal opinion issued in March 2021, the MoU was still effective. 19. LIABILITIES FOR LITIGATION - continued In January 2021, the Group was informed that two of Linghang Shengshi’s bank accounts amounted to $1 in aggregate was frozen by the court as Culture Center applied to the court regardless of the arbitration process in the CIETAC in connection with the sale by the Group of 75% equity interests in AM Advertising. The Group believes the application is non-excused as it conflicted with the arbitration proceeding already submitted by the Culture Center to the CIETAC and defended the actions by applying to the court to unfreeze Linghang Shengshi’s bank accounts. In March 2021, the Group discovered that the equity interest of AirNet Online held by Mr. Herman Man Guo and Mr. Qing Xu was frozen by the court, which was applied to the court by AM Advertising to urge all parties to settle the Transfer (the “Case”). However, the Group believes that the court has no right of jurisdiction to judge this Case as it was essentially consisted with the arbitration process in the CIETAC and would be conflicting, and the Group submitted the objection to the court. The judge of the Case has orally approved the objection and the Case will be withdrawn. As of December 31, 2021, Longde Wenchuang and Culture Center have not issued a written notice requesting the cancellation of the MoU. Therefore, the Group considered the MoU was still effective as of December 31, 2021, and the aforementioned actual payable of earnout provision remained. In January 2022, the court gived judgement that Linghang Shengshi, Mr. Herman Man Guo and Mr. Qing Xu should pay RMB 56.7 million and interest (the "debts") to AM Advertising within 10 days of the effective date of the judgment. In addition, Chuangyi Technology and AirNet is jointly and severally liable for the debts to the AM Advertising. Linghang Shengshi, Mr. Herman Man Guo, Mr. Qing Xu and Chuangyi Technology has entered an appeal to the court. The case is currently awaiting retrial by the court. As the payable of earnout commitment of RMB 152.6 million have been adjusted since 2019 and the total amount of RMB 95.9 million of other current asset have been recorded per book, the net amount of the contingent liability was reflected in the consolidated financial statement of 2021, and no further adjustment was needed in a conclusion. |

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUN_2
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies) | 12 Months Ended |
Dec. 31, 2021 | |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | |
Basis of presentation | (a) Basis of presentation The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP"). |
Going concern | (b) Going concern The Group has a history of operating losses and negative operating cash flows and has negative working capital of $68,308 as of December 31, 2021.These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Group plans to restructure their business by selling the air travel media network business to its CEO, Mr. Man Guo, and then focus on cryptocurrency mining. The sale of the air travel media network business has not been determined as of the date of the issuance of these financial statements. As a result, management prepared the consolidated financial statements assuming the Group will continue as a going concern. However, there is no assurance that the measures above can be achieved as planned. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. |
Basis of consolidation | (c) Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries, its VIEs and its VIEs’ subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation. |
Use of estimates | 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued (d) Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period and accompanying notes, including allowance for doubtful accounts, the useful lives of property and equipment, impairment of long-term investments, impairment of long-lived assets, share-based compensation and valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Significant risks and uncertainties | (e) Significant risks and uncertainties The Group participates in a dynamic industry and believes that changes in any of the following areas could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s future financial position, results of operations, or cash flows: net losses in the past and futures; failure in launching new business; a significant or prolonged economic downturn; contraction in the air travel advertising industry in China; competition from other competitors; regulatory or other PRC related factors; fluctuations in the demand for air travel; past and future acquisitions; failure to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting and effective disclosure controls and procedures; risks associated with the Group’s ability to attract and retain employees necessary to support its growth; risks associated with the Group’s growth strategies; and general risks associated with the industry. |
Fair value | (f) Fair value Fair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Group considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. Authoritative literature provides a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The level in the hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement as follows: Level 1 Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued (f) Fair value - continued Level 2 Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. Level 3 Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. |
Fair value of financial instruments | (g) Fair value of financial instruments The Group’s financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, cryptocurrency, amount due from related parties, amount due to related parties and accounts payable. The Group did not have any other financial assets and liabilities or nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on recurring basis as of December 31, 2020 and 2021. The Group’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include equity investment and long-lived assets based on level 2 or 3 inputs. |
Cash and cash equivalents | (h) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and highly liquid deposits which are unrestricted as to withdrawal or use, and which have original maturities of three months or less when purchased. |
Restricted cash | (i) Restricted cash Restricted cash consists of certificates of deposits pledged for loans from third parties. As of December 31, 2021, the pledged amount was $15,327 and nil for a litigation matter as disclosed in Note 19 (b). The pledged amount for certificated deposits of $15,327 was financed from proceeds received from two third parties under a short-term loan arrangement. In 2021 the Group repaid all the amount to the third parties. |
Cryptocurrencies | (j) Cryptocurrencies Cryptocurrencies are included in current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Cryptocurrencies awarded to the Group through its mining activities are accounted for in connection with the Group's revenue recognition policy disclosed below. Cryptocurrencies held are accounted for as intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is not amortized but assessed for impairment annually, or more frequently, when events or changes in circumstances occur indicating that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived asset is impaired. Impairment exists when the carrying amount exceeds its fair value, which is measured using the quoted price of the cryptocurrency at the time its fair value is being measured. In testing for impairment, the Group has the option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an impairment exists. If it is determined that it is not more likely than not that an impairment exists, a quantitative impairment test is not necessary. If the Group concludes otherwise, it is required to perform a quantitative impairment test. To the extent an impairment loss is recognized, the loss establishes the new cost basis of the asset. Subsequent reversal of impairment losses is not permitted. Cryptocurrencies awarded to the Group through its mining activities are included within operating activities on the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows. The sales of cryptocurrencies are included within investing activities in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows and any realized gains or losses from such sales are included in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations. The Group accounts for its gains or losses in accordance with the first in first out (FIFO) method of accounting. |
Allowance of doubtful accounts | (k) Allowance for doubtful accounts The Group adopted ASC 326 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses using the modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to accumulated deficit. Management used an expected credit loss model for the impairment of trading receivables as of period ends. Management believes the aging of accounts receivable is a reasonable parameter to estimate expected credit loss, and determines expected credit losses for accounts receivables using an aging schedule as of period ends. The expected credit loss rates under each aging schedule were developed on basis of the average historical loss rates from previous years, and adjusted to reflect the effects of those differences in current conditions and forecasted changes. Management measured the expected credit losses of accounts receivable on a collective basis. When an accounts receivable does not share risk characteristics with other accounts receivables, management will evaluate such accounts receivable for expected credit loss on an individual basis. Doubtful accounts balances are written off and deducted from allowance, when receivables are deemed uncollectible, after all collection efforts have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. |
Property and equipment, net | (l) Property and equipment , net Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives: Digital display network equipment 5 years Furniture and fixture 5 years Computer and office equipment 3 5 Vehicle 5 years Software 5 years Office property 40 years Leasehold improvement Shorter of the term of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the assets Costs of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred and asset improvements that extend the useful life are capitalized. The gain or loss on disposal of property and equipment is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant assets and is recognized in the consolidated income statement. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations for the respective period. |
Impairment of long-lived assets | (m) Impairment of long-lived assets Long-lived assets held and used by the Group are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be fully recoverable. It is possible that these assets could become impaired as a result of technology, economy or other industry changes. If circumstances require a long-lived asset or asset group to be tested for possible impairment, the Group first compares undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset or asset group to its carrying value. If the carrying value of the long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow models, relief from royalty income approach, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary. The Group makes various assumptions and estimates regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors in determining the fair values of the respective assets. The assumptions and estimates used to determine future values and remaining useful lives of long-lived assets are complex and subjective. They can be affected by various factors, including external factors such as industry and economic trends, and internal factors such as the Group’s business strategy and its forecasts for specific market expansion. As of December 31, 2021, the net carrying amount of long-lived assets consisted of right of use asset of $18 and property and equipment of $19,302. The property and equipment mainly included office building located in the center of Beijing of $10,383 , and computers for cryptocurrency mining and other office equipment of $6,600. |
Long-term investments | 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued (n) Long-term investments Equity method investments Investee companies over which the Group has the ability to exercise significant influence, but does not have a controlling interest are accounted for using the equity method. Significant influence is generally considered to exist when the Group has an ownership interest in the voting stock of the investee between 20% and 50%, and other factors, such as representation on the investee’s Board of Directors, voting rights and the impact of commercial arrangements, are considered in determining whether the equity method of accounting is appropriate. Equity investments without readily determinable fair values For investments in an investee over which the Group does not have significant influence, the Group carries the investment at cost and recognizes income as any dividends declared from distribution of investee’s earnings. The Group reviews the equity investments without readily determinable fair values for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may no longer be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized in earnings equal to the difference between the investment’s carrying amount and its fair value at the balance sheet date of the reporting period for which the assessment is made. All equity investments, except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those resulting in the consolidation of the investee, be accounted for at fair value with all fair value changes recognized in income. For equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values the Group measures the equity investment 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 Group. Impairment for long-term investments The Group assesses its long-term investments for other-than-temporary impairment by considering factors including, but not limited to, current economic and market conditions, operating performance of the companies, including current earnings trends and undiscounted cash flows, and other company-specific information. The fair value determination, particularly for investments in privately-held companies, requires significant judgment to determine appropriate estimates and assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could affect the calculation of the fair value of the investments and determination of whether any identified impairment is other-than-temporary. Other-than-temporary impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income equal to the excess of the investment’s carrying value over its fair value at the balance sheet date of the reporting period for which the assessment is made. The fair value would then become the new cost basis of such investment. |
Leases | 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued (o) Leases In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim periods) beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. The Group has adopted the Topic 842 on January 1, 2019 using a modified retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard to leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the consolidated financial statements. The Group leases its offices, which are classified as operating leases in accordance with Topic 842. Under Topic 842, lessees are required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) on the commencement date: (i) lease liability, which is a lessee's obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (ii) right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee's right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. At the commencement date, the Group recognizes the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments not yet paid, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group's incremental borrowing rate for the same term as the underlying lease. The right-of-use asset is recognized initially at cost, which primarily comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, plus any initial direct costs incurred, consisting mainly of brokerage commissions, less any lease incentives received. All right-of-use assets are reviewed for impairment. No impairment for right-of-use lease assets as of December 31, 2021. The Group's lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. |
Revenue recognition | (p) Revenue recognition On January 1, 2018, the Group adopted ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, applying the modified retrospective method. The adoption did not result in a material adjustment to the accumulated deficit as of January 1, 2018. In accordance with ASC Topic 606, revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the Group’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Group expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. In determining when and how much revenue is recognized from contracts with customers, the Group performs the following five-step analysis: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Group’s contract with customers do not include multiple performance obligations, significant financing component and any variable consideration. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued (p) Revenue recognition - continued The Group is a principal as it controls the specified good or service before that good or service is transferred to a customer. The Group is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified good or service, has inventory risk before the specified good or service has been transferred to a customer and has discretion in establishing the price for the specified good or service. Generally, the Group recognizes revenue under ASC Topic 606 for each type of its performance obligation either over time (generally, the transfer of a service) or at a point in time (generally, the transfer of content) as follows: The Group’s revenues are mainly derived from selling advertising time slots on the Group’s advertising networks and cryptocurrency mining. Revenue by service categories For the years ended December 31, 2019 2020 2021 Revenues from operations: Air Travel Media Network $ 25,954 $ 23,474 $ 9,191 Cryptocurrency Mining — — 2,604 Other Media 271 72 1 $ 26,225 $ 23,546 $ 11,796 Air Travel Media Network: For the advertising business, the Group typically signs standard contracts with its advertising clients, who require the Group to run the client's advertisements for a fixed fee on airlines the Group's contracts with for a specified time period. The Group recognizes advertising revenues ratably over the service period for which the advertisements are displayed, so long as collection remains probable. The Group also generates revenue from programs that are run on airlines for a period of time. The Group signs standard contracts with the customer who has the copyright of movies or TV programs and requires the Group to play the program for a fixed fee on airlines for a specified time The Group recognizes program display revenues ratably over the performance period for which the program is played, so long as collection remains probable. It also consisted the revenue through other media network such as on-train and on long-haul bus Wi-Fi network and self-owned and third parties’ public accounts, the Group provides Wechat public account promotion and advertising and promotion articles publishing services. For the public account promotion business, the passengers in the trains could connect to Wi-Fi for free via the Group's Wi-Fi equipment after registered as a member to that public account as a follower in WeChat. The Group charges a fix rate per new member and collects service fee from the client who owns the public accounts. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued (p) Revenue recognition - continued Cryptocurrency mining The provision of providing such computing power is the only performance obligation in the Group’s contracts with mining pool operators. The transaction consideration the Group receives, if any, is noncash consideration, which the Group measures at fair value on the date received, which is not materially different than the fair value at contract inception or the time the Group has earned the award from the pools. The consideration is all variable. Because it is not probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will not occur, the consideration is constrained until the mining pool operator successfully places a block and the Group receives confirmation of the consideration it will receive, at which time revenue is recognized. There is no significant financing component in these transactions. Fair value of the cryptocurrency award received is determined using the quoted price of the related cryptocurrency at the time of receipt. There is currently no specific definitive guidance under GAAP or alternative accounting framework for the accounting for cryptocurrencies recognized as revenue or held, and management has exercised significant judgment in determining the appropriate accounting treatment. In the event authoritative guidance is enacted by the FASB, the Group may be required to change its policies, which could have an effect on the Group’s consolidated financial position and results from operations. For the advertising and promotion articles publishing business, the group has developed a public accounts pool which have already accumulated hundreds and thousands of registered users (there are both self-owned and third parties’ public accounts). Wechat public account promotion through on-train Wi-Fi network was ceased in 2019 and no revenue was generated from Wechat public account promotion through Wi-Fi network in following years. The Group still generated immaterial revenue in other self-owned and third parties' public accounts. Deferred revenue Prepayments from customers for advertising service are deferred when corresponding performance obligation is not satisfied and recognized as revenue when the advertising services are rendered. The balance of deferred revenue as of December 31, 2021 is $3,428, the majority of which is $1,776 for the unsatisfied performance obligation with two customers with contracts amount of $1,874. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued (p) Revenue recognition - continued Nonmonetary exchanges The Group occasionally exchanges advertising time slots and locations with other entities for assets or services, such as equipment and other assets. The amount of assets and revenue recognized is based on the fair value of the advertising provided or the fair value of the transferred assets, whichever is more readily determinable. In 2019, the Group provided advertising time slots and locations to SINOPEC Yijie Sales Co., Ltd. (“Yijie”) as a part of settlement of the concession fee due to Yijie and recognized revenue of $792. In addition, the Group provided gas station display network equipment to settle the concession fee of $3,678 due to Yijie. In 2019 the Group also entered into a contract with Beijing Kingsoft Co., Ltd.(“Kingsoft”) to provide advertising services in exchange for office software and recognized revenue of $431. As of December 31, 2019, the Group has received the office software and accounted it as property and equipment, while a deferred revenue was accrued in the meantime as the agreed advertising services has not been provided.
