The VIE arrangements
PRC regulations limit direct foreign ownership of business entities providing value-added telecommunications services, online advertising services and internet services in the PRC where certain licenses are required for the provision of such services. Although the Company no longer operates businesses requiring the VIE, historically, the Company provided online advertising, internet value-added services (“IVAS”), and internet finance services through its VIE, Qianxiang Tiancheng, which is referred to as the “VIE”.
Qianxiang Shiji (“WFOE”), the Company’s Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprise, entered into a series of contractual arrangements, including: (1) Power of Attorney; (2) Business Operation Agreements; (3) Exclusive Equity Option Agreement; (4) Spousal Consent Agreement; (5) Exclusive Technical and Consulting Services Agreement; (6) Intellectual Property Licenses Agreement; (7) Loan Agreements, and (8) Equity Interest Pledge Agreement with the VIE that enable the Company to (1) have power to direct the activities that most significantly affects the economic performance of the VIE, and (2) receive the economic benefits of the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. Accordingly, the WFOE is considered the primary beneficiary of the VIE and has consolidated the VIE’s financial results of operations, assets and liabilities in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In making the conclusion that the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE, the Company believes the Company’s rights under the terms of the exclusive option agreement and power of attorney are substantive as they relate to operating matters, which provide the Company with a substantive kick-out right.
7
More specifically, the Company believes the terms of the contractual agreements are valid, binding, and enforceable under PRC laws and regulations currently in effect. In particular, the Company believes that the minimum amount of consideration permitted by the applicable PRC law to exercise the exclusive option does not represent a financial barrier or disincentive for the Company to exercise its rights under the exclusive option agreement. A simple majority vote of the Company’s board of directors is required to pass a resolution to exercise the Company’s rights under the exclusive option agreement, for which the consent from Mr. Joe Chen, who holds the most voting interests in the Company and is also the Company’s chairman and CEO, is not required. The Company’s rights under the exclusive option agreement give the Company the power to control the shareholders of the VIE and thus the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance. In addition, the Company’s rights under powers of attorney also reinforce the Company’s abilities to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance. The Company also believes that this ability to exercise control ensures that the VIE will continue to execute and renew service agreements that benefit the Company, currently largely comprised of Research and Development services to the Company’s SaaS businesses. By charging service fees at the sole discretion of the Company, and by ensuring that service agreements are executed and renewed indefinitely, the Company has the right to receive substantially all of the economic benefits from the VIE.
The VIE and its subsidiaries hold the requisite licenses and permits necessary to conduct the Company’s business in PRC under the current business arrangements.
The following financial statement balances and amounts of the Company’s VIE were included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements after elimination of intercompany balances and transactions between the offshore companies, WFOE, VIE and VIE’s subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025, the balance of the amounts payable by the VIE and its subsidiaries to the WFOE related to the service fees were

There are no consolidated VIE assets that are collateral for the VIE obligations and can only be used to settle the VIE obligations. There are no creditors (or beneficial interest holders) of the VIE that have recourse to the general credit of the Company or any of its consolidated subsidiaries. However, if the VIE 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 VIE through loans to the shareholders of the VIE or entrustment loans to the VIE.
Relevant PRC laws and regulations restrict the VIE from transferring a portion of its net assets, equivalent to the balance of its statutory reserve and its share capital, to the Company in the form of loans and advances or cash dividends. Please refer to Note 10 for disclosure of restricted net assets.
Prior to the issuance of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, management discovered that it incorrectly classified a foreign subsidiary as a VIE starting in the period ended June 30, 2023. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2024, total liabilities related to VIEs of $

2. REVISION TO PRIOR PERIOD FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Subsequent to the filing of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), management of Moatable, Inc. (the “Company”) discovered that the sales tax liability was understated as of March 31, 2024 by $
In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 99, “Materiality,” and SAB No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements,” the Company evaluated the adjustments detailed above, and determined the related impact did not materially misstate its consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 or its condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods ended March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023, September 30, 2023, March 31, 2024, June 30, 2024, and September 30 ,2024.
Although the Company concluded that the misstatement was not material to its previously issued financial statements, the Company has determined it was appropriate to present the impacts to its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 on a prospective basis to provide appropriate context to stakeholders. Revision to its consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 was included within the comparative consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 15, 2025. Revisions to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods ended March 31, 2024 are tabulated below, and the errors for the periods of June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2024 that will be revised when the Company files its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the second and third quarters in 2025.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information, and with the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of its financial position as of March 31, 2025, and its results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024. The condensed balance sheet at December 31, 2024, was derived from audited annual financial statements but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
Principles of consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the financial statements of Moatable, Inc., its subsidiaries, its VIE and VIE’s subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions and balances are eliminated upon consolidation.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets.

Fair value
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-inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets.
Level 2-inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3-inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques that include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents generally consist of cash and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. The Company acts as an agent for its property management clients in managing specific cash and cash equivalents. These amounts are excluded from the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Restricted Cash
On August 28, 2023, the Company entered into an Escrow Agreement with U.S. Bank National Association to enhance directors and officers’ insurance coverage. The Company set aside $
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable are stated at the original amount less an provision for credit loss. Accounts receivable are recognized in the period when the Company has provided services to its customers and when its right to consideration is unconditional.
Provision for credit loss
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, the Company evaluates its accounts receivable, and other current receivable included in other current assets for expected credit losses on a regular basis. The Company maintains an estimated provision for credit losses to reduce its receivables to the amount that it believes will be collected. The Company considers factors in assessing the collectability of its receivables, such as the age of the amounts due, the customer’s payment history, credit-worthiness, current market conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, and other specific circumstances related to the accounts. The Company determines to use aging schedule method in combination with current situation adjustment as the current expected credit losses (CECL) model to estimate the provision for credit loess. The Company adjusts the provision percentage periodically when there are significant differences between estimated bad debts and actual bad debts. If there is strong evidence indicating that the receivables are likely to be unrecoverable, the Company also makes specific provision in the period in which a loss is determined to be probable. Receivables balances are written off after all collection efforts have been exhausted. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2025, the Company recorded
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when control of the good or service has been transferred to the customer, generally upon delivery to a customer. The contracts have a fixed contract price and revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. The Company collects sales taxes and value-added taxes from customers on behalf of governmental authorities at the time of sale. These taxes are accounted for on a net basis and are not included in revenues and cost of revenues. The Company generally expenses sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period is
11
less than one year. These costs are recorded within selling and marketing expenses. The Company does not have any significant financing payment terms as payment is received at or shortly after the point of sale.
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) prescribes a five-step model that includes: (1) identify the contract; (2) identify the performance obligations; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) performance obligations are satisfied.
The Company generated the majority of revenue from SaaS services.
SaaS revenue: SaaS revenue mainly includes the revenue generated from (1) subscription services, (2) advertising services provided by Lofty and Trucker Path, and (3) other SaaS revenue. The Company recognizes revenue for subscription services over the life of the subscription. For Lofty’s advertising service, the Company acts as an agent to place advertisements on third-party websites or platforms. For Trucker Path’s advertising service, the Company acts as principal to place advertisements on Trucker Path’s platform. The Company recognizes revenue for advertising services over the advertising periods.
Other services: Other services mainly include revenue from the provision of back-office services to Oak Pacific Investment (“OPI”) and revenue from non-recurring sources. The Company provides back-office services including accounting, legal, and business-related consulting services, which is a single performance obligation provided over the contract periods with pre-determined stand-alone selling price. The Company recognizes revenue over the contract periods.
The following tables disaggregate revenue by subscription, advertising, and other services:

Contract balances: Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. A contract asset is recorded when the Group has transferred services to the customer before payment is received or is due, and the Group’s right to consideration is conditional on future performance or other factors in the contract. There were
Deferred revenue mainly represents payments received from customers related to unsatisfied performance obligations for SaaS. The Company’s total deferred revenue was $
Loss per share
Basic loss per ordinary share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted loss per ordinary share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities were exercised or converted into ordinary shares. The Company had stock options and non-vested restricted shares, which could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the
12
future. All stock options and nonvested restricted shares in the diluted loss per ordinary share computation were excluded in periods of net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2025, as their impact is anti-dilutive.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvement to Income Tax Disclosure. This standard requires more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. This standard also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 is effective for public business entities, for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. For entities other than public business entities, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. The Company adopted the new disclosures for the annual periods beginning on January 1, 2025. The Company will include the applicable and relevant required disclosures in the Income Taxes footnote in the Form 10-K.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), to improve the disclosures about an entity’s expenses including more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. At each interim and annual reporting period, entities will disclose in tabular format disaggregating information about prescribed categories underlying relevant income statement captions, as well as the total amount of selling expense and a description of the composition of its selling expense. The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. Public business entities are required to adopt the ASU prospectively. However, public business entities are permitted to apply the amendments in the ASU retrospectively. The Company is in the process of evaluation the impact of adopting this new guidance on its consolidated financial statement.
Recently issued ASUs by the FASB, except for the ones mentioned above, have no material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position.

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Contingencies
In the ordinary course of business, the Company may be subject to legal proceedings regarding contractual and employment relationships and a variety of other matters.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Please read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with “Note About Forward-Looking Statements” and our consolidated financial statements and related notes included under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as well as our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, including Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors.”
Overview
Our business model has been evolving continuously since our initial public offering in May 2011. At the time of our initial public offering, we were primarily a social networking service platform, and we had a number of ancillary businesses that were intended to monetize that platform. We gradually disposed of most of those ancillary businesses in the years that followed our initial public offering.
Currently, we operate two SaaS businesses, Lofty and Trucker Path, both of which are considered reportable segments. Lofty offers an all-in-one real estate sales acceleration and client lifecycle management platform that allows real estate professionals to obtain and nurture leads, close transactions, and retain their clients. Trucker Path is a driver-centric online transportation management platform whose mission is to make freight transportation fast, reliable, and efficient. Trucker Path provides trip planning, navigation, freight sourcing, a market place that offers goods and services truckers use to operate their businesses and helps connect qualified brokers and carriers to expand their reach and initiate and complete transactions easily and efficiently. The majority of our revenues are generated by our SaaS businesses. Our SaaS businesses currently generate the vast majority of their revenue from the U.S. market.
Our total revenues increased from $14.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 to $18.0 million for the same period in 2025, and net loss decreased from $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 to $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was driven primarily by loss from operations of $1.0 million and income tax expenses of $0.5 million, partially offset by interest income of $0.3 million.
Loss from operations decreased from $1.4 million to $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2025, respectively.
Components of Results of Operations
Revenue
We derive substantially all of our revenues from SaaS subscription services, advertising services, and other related services. We recognize our revenues over the life of the SaaS subscriptions and net of business taxes or value added tax, as applicable. Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. Deferred revenue mainly consists of payments received from customers related to unsatisfied performance obligations for SaaS subscription services and advertising services. Our total deferred revenue was $4.6 million and $4.5 million as of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025, respectively, most of which is expected to be recognized as revenue within one year.

Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits for research and development personnel. Our research and development expenses may increase in the near term on an absolute basis as we intend to hire additional research and development personnel to develop new features for our various SaaS services, invest in new SaaS products and services, improve the customer experience, and further improve our technology infrastructure.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits for our general and administrative personnel, fees and expenses for third-party professional services. Our general and administrative expenses may increase in the future on an absolute basis as our SaaS businesses grow.

Comparison of the Three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024
Revenues
Our revenues increased by 28.6% from $14.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 to $18.0 million for the same period in 2025. This increase was primarily due to the increase in revenue from our SaaS businesses.
● | Subscription Services. Our revenue from subscription services increased by 23.5% from $13.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 to $16.3 million for the same period in 2025. The increase was driven primarily by expanded Trucker Path subscriber base and to a lesser extent increased average selling pricing. The Company’s paying subscriptions as of March 31, 2025 for Trucker Path increased to 135,000, by 7.1%, compared to December 31, 2024 paying subscriptions of 126,000. The Company’s paying subscriptions as of March 31, 2025 for Lofty decreased to 4,000, by (2.4)%, compared to December 31, 2024 paying subscriptions of 4,100. Purchased seats for Lofty, defined as eligible users on a paid subscription, decreased to 79,000 as of March 31, 2025 from 80,000 as of December 31, 2024, a decrease of (1.3)%. |
● | Advertising Services. Our revenue from advertising services decreased from $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 to $0.7 million for the same period in 2025. |
25
Cost of revenues
Our cost of revenues increased by 39.4% from $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 to $4.6 million for the same period in 2025. This increase was primarily due to the increase of software expenses directly related to the cloud hosting services which provide a better user experience and the expansion of lower margin Lofty SaaS businesses.
Gross Margins
Our gross margin decreased 1.9% from 76.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 to 74.5%. The decrease was primarily due to increase in cost of service features provided within our real estate SaaS platform.
Operating expenses
Our operating expenses increased by 19.0% from $12.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 to $14.4 million for the same period in 2025, primarily due to the increase of selling and marketing expenses and research and development expenses.
● | Selling and marketing expenses. Our selling and marketing expenses increased by 39.0% from $4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 to $5.7 million for the same period in 2025. This increase was primarily due to increase of headcount and sales tax expenses. |
● | Research and development expenses. Our research and development expenses increased by 28.9% from $4.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 to $5.8 million for the same period in 2025. This increase was primarily due to an increase in our research and development headcount for new projects. |
● | General and administrative expenses. Our general and administrative expenses decreased by 14.7% from $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 to $2.9 million for the same period in 2025. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of share-based compensation and legal fees. |
● | Impairment of intangible asset. Our impairment of intangible asset was $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and nil for the same period in 2025, respectively. The impairment loss in 2024 was due to impairment of the technology platform of LoftyWorks. |
Loss from fair value change of a long-term investment
Loss from fair value change of a long-term investment was $0.02 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared with $1.5 million for the same period in 2024. The loss from fair value change of a long-term investment represents the unrealized loss from reduction in quoted market price of ordinary shares of Kaixin, which is accounted for as an equity investment with readily determinable fair value.
Segment Operations
We are engaged in providing SaaS platforms to customers primarily located in the United States. We operate in two reportable segments: Lofty and Trucker Path. We define our segments as those operations whose results the chief operating decision maker regularly reviews to analyze performance and allocate resources. We sell similar platform services in each of our segments, it is impracticable to segregate and identify revenues for each of these individual products and services.
The Lofty segment includes our all-in-one real estate sales acceleration and client lifecycle management platform. The Trucker Path segment includes our driver-centric online transportation management platform. Our operating structure also includes Corporate, which is a center focusing on strategic initiatives, policy, governance and the scaling of global operations, and a platform services organization supporting operating units, global marketing category leadership teams and the center by providing efficient and scaled global services and capabilities, including, but not limited to, transactional work, data management, consumer analytics, digital commerce and social/digital hubs.
We measure the results of our segments using revenue and cost of sales. Information for our segments and Corporate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2025, is provided in the following table (in thousands).

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025, we had net current assets (current assets less current liabilities) of $20.4 million and $8.3 million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2025, we incurred net loss amounting to $3.1 million and $1.1 million, respectively, and negative cash flows from operating activities of $0.9 million and $1.7 million, respectively.
Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to generate cash flows from operations, and to make adequate financing arrangements. We had cash and cash equivalents of $18.8 million, excluding restricted cash of $5.3 million as of March 31, 2025. The cash reserve is expected to meet our operating needs for at least the next twelve months from the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Net cash used in operating activities was $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $0.9 million for the same period in 2024. The principal adjustments to reconcile our net loss to our net cash used in operating activities were $0.1 million of share-based compensation expense, $0.2 million of amortization of the right-of-use assets and $0.2 million of depreciation and amortization. The principal change in operating assets and liabilities accounting for the difference between our net loss and our net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was a decrease in accounts payable of $0.7 million, a decrease of accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $0.4 million and an increase in accounts receivable of $0.3 million, and partially offset by an increase in income tax payable of $0.5 million.
Net cash provided by investing activities was $4.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to net cash used in $0.1 million for the same period in 2024. Net cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was due to $5.0 million for redemption of short-term investments. Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was due to $0.1 million for the purchases of property and equipment.
Net cash used in financing activities was $11.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to net cash provided by $0.9 million for the same period in 2024. Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily due to $11.1 million of special cash dividends to ordinary shares. Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months
27
ended March 31, 2024 was primarily due to proceeds of $1.0 million from exercise of share options, partly offset by the repurchase of $0.1 million ordinary shares.

Capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were primarily used to for the purchase of the computers.
Research and Development, Patents, and Licenses, etc.
Research and Development
Our research and development efforts focus on developing and improving the scalability, features and functions of our SaaS services, including the compilation and use of data to increase automation of our services and enhance the customer experience. We have a large team of approximately 350 engineers and developers as of March 31, 2025, accounting for approximately 58% of our employees as of that date. Most of our engineers and developers are based at our subsidiary offices in China.
Our research and development personnel support all areas of our business, mainly focusing on the improvement and enhancement of our SaaS businesses, Lofty and Trucker Path. Our research and development personnel also focus on enhancing the user experience through commonly used user interfaces, including mobile apps, and ensuring our products are fully compatible with the latest mobile operating systems such as iOS, Android, and Windows. In 2024, with the acquisition of LoftyWorks by Lofty, we expect to increasingly invest in developing Lofty products to serve property managers and landlords. We periodically shift the priorities of our research and development personnel to ensure we continually develop new products and services to extend our customer reach and meet the needs of our user base and customers.
Our research and development expenses primarily include salaries and benefits for our research and development personnel. We incurred US$4.5 million and US$5.8 million of research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2025, respectively.
Intellectual Property
Our intellectual property includes trademarks and trademark applications related to our brands and services, trade secrets, and other intellectual property rights and licenses. We seek to protect our intellectual property assets and brand through a combination of monitoring and enforcement of trademark and trade secret protection laws in the US, PRC, and other jurisdictions, as well as through confidentiality agreements and procedures.
We have 83 trademarks as of March 31, 2025. Our employees sign confidentiality and non-compete agreements when hired.
Trend Information
Other than as disclosed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we are not aware of any trends, uncertainties, demands, commitments or events for the three months ended March 31, 2025 that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our
28
revenues, income, profitability, liquidity or capital resources, or that would cause the disclosed financial information to be not necessarily indicative of future operating results or financial conditions.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Refer to Part II, Item 7, “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. There have been no material changes to our Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates disclosed therein.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), we are not required to provide the information specified under this item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in by the SEC’s rules and forms, and that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, due to the three material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as described below.
Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the year ended December 31, 2024, our management identified three material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which remain unremediated as of March 31, 2025, as follows:
● | Lack of an integrated and systematic risk assessment and reporting process to identify and assess the financial reporting risks and to ensure significant transactions including investments and non-routine transactions including share-based transactions are accurately recorded and properly disclosed; and |
● | Lack of evaluation in the process of assessing applicability of sales tax to our SaaS revenue products which resulted in an understated sales tax accrual; and |
● | Lack of evaluations to ascertain whether the components of internal control are present and functioning. |
Management’s Remediation Plans and Actions
To remediate the material weaknesses described above in “Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting,” we are implementing the plan and measures described below. We will continue to evaluate and, may in the future, implement additional measures.
● | We have recruited personnel with the requisite knowledge in accounting and disclosure requirements for complex transactions under U.S. GAAP and statutory compliance. Where needed, we have engaged external parties with the expertise to evaluate and advise the company on complex or evolving areas such as public company filings, taxation, and valuation services. |
● | We have designed a control environment which allows management to monitor the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting and address gaps identified within the environment. |
● | We have implemented a consolidated general ledger within a single enterprise resource planning application for all legal entities, which includes consolidation and statutory reporting capabilities. |
29
● | We will design and implement evaluation policies and procedures to ascertain internal control components are present and functioning. |
● | We will improve internal approval process involving proper level of management review for each of new grants. We will enhance communication between human resources department and accounting department to ensure information sharing about new grants. |
● | We have engaged experts to review and to ensure completeness and accuracy of sales tax accrual; and will design and implement a sales tax compliance system to ensure timely and accurate sales tax reporting. |
We believe that we are taking the steps necessary for remediation of the material weaknesses identified above, and we will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these steps and to make any changes that our management deems appropriate.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than as described above, there were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2025 that have materially affected or are reasonable likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
Our management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system cannot provide absolute assurance due to its inherent limitations; it is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. A control system also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of such limitations, disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting cannot prevent or detect all misstatements, whether unintentional errors or fraud. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process, therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards, to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we may become party to litigation or other legal proceedings that we consider to be part of the ordinary course of business.
We are not currently a party to any material legal proceedings, and we are not aware of any pending or threatened legal proceedings against us that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
On November 7, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) authorized the repurchase of up to an aggregate of $10.0 million of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.001 per share, to be executed from time to time in open market transactions effected through a broker at prevailing market prices under ordinary principles of best execution within one year after commencement (the “Stock Repurchase Program”).
