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.

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, 2022 and September 30, 2023, the balance of the amounts payable by the VIE and its subsidiaries to the WFOE related to the service fees were nil.

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 needs 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.

2.   REVISION TO PRIOR PERIOD FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Subsequent to the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 with the SEC (the “2022 Form 10-K”), management of the Company discovered that the Company’s share of loss in the equity investment of Beijing Fenghou Tianyuan Investment and Management Center L.P. (“FHTY”) was different than the amount previously included in its consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022. The difference was discovered upon receipt of additional financial information made available by FHTY following the filing of our Audited financial statements that showed impairments on certain investments held by FHTY as of December 31, 2022. The differences resulted from a change in fair value of certain investments held by FHTY for which the Company would have picked up a loss in the amount of $1.6 million had the Company known of the impairments or had a policy in place to incorporate lag reporting for equity method investments.

Additionally, in connection with the settlement of the shareholder derivative lawsuit, the Company received a one-time dividend of US$2.6 million on January 20, 2023 for ADSs that were held by the Company as of the payment date to settle tax withholdings for ADSs issued to participants under the Company’s share incentive plans. The Company concluded that the one-time dividend should have been recorded in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.  The subsequent event provides a basis to estimate and record the dividend as of December 31, 2022 since the matter was ultimately settled on January 20, 2023 and prior to the filing of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in its Form 10-K.

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

10

Table of Contents

above, and determined the related impact did not materially misstate its consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022.  Although the Company concluded that the misstatement was not material to its consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company has determined it was appropriate to adjust its consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2022 on a prospective basis to provide appropriate context to stakeholders within comparative financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2023 due to the materiality to the quarterly financial statements. The impact on the statement of operations will be displayed on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2023. The following are the relevant line items from the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 which illustrate the effect of the adjustments to the periods presented:

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 United States Securities and E Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Unaudited interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year. 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, 2022.

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, allowance for doubtful accounts, the fair value of share-based compensation awards, the realization of deferred income tax assets, impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, and impairment of long-term investment.

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. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company 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.

11

Table of Contents

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.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash is the cash deposits pledged as security for the debt borrowings which are expected to be released in accordance with the debt agreement. The restriction will lapse when the related debt is paid off. The restricted cash represents cash deposited into bank accounts which is expected to be released within the next twelve months.

The cash deposits pledged as security were $9,159 and $7,101 as of December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2023, respectively. The restricted cash balances represent cash deposits pledged as security for debt borrowing of Kaixin and its subsidiary (“Kaixin Subsidiary”), under an irrevocable standby letter of credit (SBLC) issued by East West Bank (the “Bank”). Kaixin and its subsidiary have defaulted on both loans guaranteed by the Company under the SBLC.

On June 1, 2023, East West Bank assigned to the Company all rights, title, and interest in and to that certain $2.0 million loan made by the Bank to Kaixin (the “Kaixin USD Loan”) for a total consideration of approximately $2.0 million paid for from the Company’s Restricted Cash. The Kaixin USD Loan was guaranteed by the Letters of Credit. The Company is evaluating its options to pursue recovery from Kaixin after the assignment but considers any recovery remote.

In addition, as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, approximately $5,870 had been claimed under our standby letter of credit in connection with the Kaixin Subsidiary’s default of certain guaranteed loan. No payment has been made to the Bank in connection with such claim, but the Company expects to reimburse the Bank for the full amount of the claim and for the bank to make any restricted cash remaining, after full settlement of the claim, available to the company without restrictions.

On August 28, 2023, the Company entered into an Escrow Ageeement with U.S. Bank National Association to enhance directors and officers insurance coverage. The company set aside $5,000 restricted cash into an escrow account with U.S. Bank as required by the contractual agreement with U.S. Bank National Association.

Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable are stated at the original amount less an allowance for doubtful receivables. Accounts receivable are recognized in the period when the Company has provided services to its customers and when its right to consideration is unconditional. The Company evaluates its accounts receivable for expected credit losses on a regular basis. The Company maintains an estimated allowance for credit losses to reduce its accounts receivable 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 and other specific circumstances related to the accounts. The Company adjusts the allowance percentage periodically when there are significant differences between estimated bad debts and actual bad debts. If there is strong evidence indicating that the accounts receivable is likely to be unrecoverable, the Company also makes specific allowance in the period in which a loss is determined to be probable. Accounts receivable balances are written off after all collection efforts have been exhausted.

Adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 326): Measurement on Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”, including certain subsequent amendments, transitional guidance and other interpretive guidance within ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04, ASU 2019-05, ASU 2019-11, ASU 2020-02 and ASU

12

Table of Contents

2020-03 (collectively, including ASU 2016-13, “ASC 326”). ASC 326 requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost.

Short-term investments

Short-term investments, which are comprised of corporate bonds/notes and US treasuries, are accounted for in accordance with ASC 320, “Investments – Debt and Equity Securities” (“ASC 320”). The Company considers all of its securities for which there is a determinable fair market value, and there are no restrictions on the Company’s ability to sell within the next 12 months, as available for sale. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported as a component of shareholders’ equity. Available-for-sale securities as of December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2023 were $24,004, and $4,393, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the increase in fair value of available-for-sale securities was recognized in other comprehensive loss amounting to nil and nil, respectively; for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the change in fair value of available-for-sale securities was recognized in other comprehensive gain and loss amounting to $12 and $26, respectively.

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 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 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 the subscription and advertising services provided by Lofty and Trucker Path. 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 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.

Contract balances: Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. Accounts receivable represent amounts invoiced and contract assets are recognized prior to invoicing when the Company has satisfied the Company’s performance obligation and has the unconditional right to payment. There were no contract assets recorded as of December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2023.

Deferred revenue mainly represents payments received from customers related to unsatisfied performance obligations for SaaS. The Company’s total deferred revenue was $4,323 and $4,305 as of December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2023, which is expected to be substantially recognized as revenue within one year. The amount of revenue recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2023 that was previously included in the deferred revenue as of December 31, 2021 and 2022 was $2,368 and $3,922, respectively.

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326)” (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 revises the methodology for measuring credit losses on financial instruments and the timing of when such losses are recorded. In November 2019, FASB issued ASU 2019-10, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842).” This ASU defers the effective date of ASU 2016-13 for public companies that are considered smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this standard beginning on January 1, 2023, and the adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2021-08”). This ASU requires acquiring entities to apply Topic 606 to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination. This guidance is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this standard beginning on January 1, 2023, and the adoption of ASU 2021-08 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial.

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.

(iii)From June 30, 2022, the Company’s equity interest in Kaixin Auto Holdings (“Kaixin”) decreased to 16.6% and the resignation of the Company’s representative from Kaixin’s Board of Directors, which combined resulted in a lack of significant influence in Kaixin. Thus, from June 30, 2022, the investment in Kaixin should be accounted for as equity investment with readily determinable fair value, a change in accounting the equity method. For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2023, the Company recognized a $8,191 and $6,510 unrealized loss as a change of fair value to the investment of Kaixin, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2023, the Company recognized a $5,172 unrealized income and a $5,989 unrealized loss as a change of fair value to the investment of Kaixin, which was booked in gain (loss) from fair value change of a long-term investment on the condensed consolidated statements of operations, respectively. Prior to the change in the accounting method, the Company recognized its share loss of $11,595 from Kaixin under equity method for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

6.   ORDINARY SHARES

Exercise of share options and restricted shares vesting

During the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2023, nil and 4,258,155 Class A ordinary shares were issued due to the exercise of share options or vesting of restricted share units under share-based compensation; and during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2023, 16,799,985 and 40,176,796 Class A ordinary shares were issued due to the exercise of share options or vesting of restricted share units under share-based compensation, respectively, among which the vesting of 21,267,315 restricted shares was suspended due to the Stipulation Settlement until January 13, 2023, but expensed according to the original vesting schedule. The catch-up vesting of all suspended shares was applied upon the completion of the settlement (See Note 7).

Stock Repurchase from public market

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”). The Stock Repurchase Program took effect on January 16, 2023. On October 13, 2023, the Board approved an extension and extra funding of the existing Stock Repurchase Program whereby the expiration date was extended to December 31, 2024 and the authorized repurchase amount was increased from $10.0 million to $15.0 million.

15

Table of Contents

The Stock Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any amount of the Company’s ordinary shares, and may be modified, extended, suspended, or discontinued at any time. The timing and amount of repurchases will be determined by the Company’s management based on a variety of factors such as the market price of the Company’s ordinary shares, the Company’s corporate cash requirements, and overall market conditions. The Stock Repurchase Program is subject to applicable legal requirements, including federal and state securities laws and applicable NYSE rules.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company repurchased 1,221,451 ADSs, excluding the ADSs repurchased from Softbank, representing 54,965,295 Class A ordinary shares (each ADS is equivalent to 45 Ordinary Shares) for $1,953 on the open market, at a weighted average price of nil and $1.60 per ADS, respectively.

Stock Repurchase from SoftBank

On May 23, 2023, the Company entered into a share repurchase agreement (the “Share Repurchase Agreement”) with SoftBank Group Capital Limited (“SoftBank”), pursuant to which the Company repurchased Class A and Class B ordinary shares of 152,870,520, and 135,129,480, respectively, from SoftBank (“Share Repurchase”). The repurchase price was $1.1144 per ADS, and the aggregate purchase price was $7,132. The purchase price per share was greater than the market price, which closed at $0.93 per share on the day of the share repurchase. The Company used cash on hand for the Share Repurchase and retired the ordinary shares purchased.

Prior to the Share Repurchase, no person owns more than 50% of the Company’s outstanding shares or voting power. A change in control of the Company occurred by virtue of the consummation of the Share Repurchase, with Mr. Joseph Chen (“Mr. Chen”), the Company’s founder, chairman of board of directors and chief executive officer, becoming the Company’s largest and controlling shareholder. Immediately after giving effect to the Share Repurchase, Mr. Chen holds 156,204,091 Class A ordinary shares and 170,258,970 Class B ordinary shares, representing 38.8% of total outstanding shares and 78.3% of total voting power of the Company.

Additionally, immediately after giving effect to the Share Repurchase, SoftBank holds 117,388,451 Class A ordinary shares of the Company, which is less than the Softbank Base Holding as defined in the Company’s currently effective Memorandum and Articles of Association. As a result, SoftBank is no longer entitled to the special rights set forth in the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association, including (i) the right to designate one director and (ii) approval rights with respect to certain matters such as a change-of-control event, election of directors at annual general meetings, new issuances of ordinary shares, and major acquisitions or disposals of assets.

In the Share Repurchase transaction, the Company initiated the transaction and thus paid a price greater than the market price at the transaction date without acquiring other rights or privileges, or entering other agreements. Therefore, the excess of $6,844 over ordinary shares’ par value was charged entirely to retained earnings.

There was no repurchase activity under the Stock Repurchase Program for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

(i)On October 7, 2021, the Company entered into a Stipulation of Settlement (the “Stipulation”) as a nominal defendant with respect to the consolidated shareholder derivative lawsuits. Pursuant to the Stipulation, the Company shall set the record date for determining holders of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares and American Depositary Shares who are entitled to receive distributions from the settlement (the “Record Date”) on the earliest practicable date after the Stipulation and the settlement of the action is approved by the court and such approval has become final. On December 10, 2021, the court issued a written order formally denying the motion to approve the Stipulation and settlement (the “Order”), which prevented the Company from setting the Record Date as originally contemplated under the Stipulation and, consequently, may cause a material increase in the amount of the settlement. In order to mitigate the Order’s impact on the settlement, including the amount of the settlement, and pursuant to the Board’s general administrative authority under the share incentive plans, the Board deems it to be in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders as a whole to suspend vesting of the equity awards, including share options and restricted shares under share incentive plans, from January 1, 2022, through and until the completion of the settlement (the “Vesting Suspension”) The Vesting Suspension had been lifted on January 13, 2023. During suspended vesting, the Company continued to record expenses for all granted shares consistent with the vesting schedules.

The Company recorded compensation expenses based on the fair value of nonvested restricted shares on the grant dates over the requisite service period of award using the straight-line vesting attribution method. The fair value of the nonvested restricted shares on the grant

The Lofty segment includes the Company’s all-in-one real estate sales acceleration, client lifecycle management platform and other nascent property management services. The Trucker Path segment includes the Company’s driver-centric online transportation management platform. The Other Operations segment consists of other items not allocated to any of the Company’s segments.

The Company measures the results of its segments using, among other measures, each segment’s revenue and cost of revenues. Information for the Company’s segments, as well as for Other Operations, is provided in the following table:

Table of Contents

The majority of the Company’s revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2023 was generated from the United States.

As of December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2023, substantially all of the long-lived assets of the Company were located in the US. As of September 30, 2023, the long-lived assets in the carrying value of $718, $65 and $8,464 of the Company were located in the PRC, Philippines and United States, respectively.

As of December 31, 2022, the long-lived assets in the carrying value of $108, $231 and $8,202 of the Company were located in the PRC, Philippines and United States, respectively.

10.   STATUTORY RESERVE AND RESTRICTED NET ASSETS

In accordance with the Regulations on Enterprises with Foreign Investment of China and their articles of association, the Company’s subsidiaries and VIE entities located in the PRC, being foreign invested enterprises established in the PRC, are required to provide for certain statutory reserves. These statutory reserve funds include one or more of the following: (i) a general reserve, (ii) an enterprise expansion fund or discretionary reserve fund, and (iii) a staff bonus and welfare fund. Subject to certain cumulative limits, the general reserve fund requires a minimum annual appropriation of 10% of after-tax profit (as determined under accounting principles generally accepted in China at each year-end); the other fund appropriations are at the subsidiaries’ or the affiliated PRC entities’ discretion. These statutory reserve funds can only be used for specific purposes of enterprise expansion, staff bonus and welfare, and are not distributable as cash dividends except in the event of liquidation of the Company’s subsidiaries, the Company’s affiliated PRC entities and their respective subsidiaries. The Company’s subsidiaries and VIE entities are required to allocate at least 10% of their after-tax profits to the general reserve until such reserve has reached 50% of their respective registered capital. As of December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2023, none of the Company’s PRC subsidiaries and VIE entities had a general reserve that reached the 50% of their registered capital threshold, therefore they will continue to allocate at least 10% of their after-tax profits to the general reserve fund.

Appropriations to the enterprise expansion reserve and the staff welfare and bonus reserve are to be made at the discretion of the board of directors of each of the Company’s subsidiaries. The appropriation to these reserves by the Company’s PRC subsidiaries was nil for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2023.

As a result of these PRC laws and regulations and the requirement that distributions by PRC entities can only be paid out of distributable profits computed in accordance with PRC GAAP, the PRC entities are restricted from transferring a portion of their net assets to the Company. Amounts restricted include paid-in capital and the statutory reserves of the Company’s PRC subsidiaries and VIE entities. The aggregate amounts of capital and statutory reserves restricted which represented the amount of net assets of the relevant subsidiaries and VIE entities in the Company not available for distribution were $251,309 and $240,608 as of December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2023, respectively.

11.   INCOME TAXES

Utilization of the federal and state net operating losses may be subject to certain annual limitations under IRC Section 382 due to the “change in ownership” provisions. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating losses and credits before utilization. The Company has a full valuation allowance against U.S. federal and state net operating losses.

12.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company has evaluated all events or transactions that occurred after September 30, 2023 and determined that it does not have any subsequent event requiring recording or disclosure in the financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2023.

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, 2022, including Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors.”

Operating Results

Overview

Our business model has evolved 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 intended to monetize that platform. We gradually disposed of the social networking service platform and most of those ancillary businesses in the years that followed our initial public offering.

Currently, we operate two SaaS businesses, Lofty and Trucker Path (the “SaaS businesses”), 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 marketplace that offers goods and services truckers use to operate their businesses, and connects 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 generate nearly 100% of their revenue from the U.S. market.

Our total revenues increased from US$12.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 to US$13.3 million for the same period in 2023, and net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was US$52.5 million and US$7.0 million for the same period in 2023. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, our total revenues increased from US$33.3 million to US$38.3 million in the same period in 2023, and net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was US$57.7 million and US$10.4 million for the same period in 2023. Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was driven primarily by a loss from the change in fair value of long-term investments of US$6.5 million. Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was driven by a loss from the change in fair value of long-term investments of US$6.0 million and loss from operations.

Loss from operations improved from US$2.9 million to US$0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2023, respectively, and US$11.4 million to US$7.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2023.

Financial Overview

Revenue

We derive substantially all of our revenues from the SaaS businesses through 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. The 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 US$4.3 million and US$4.3 million as of December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2023, respectively, most of which is expected to be recognized as revenue within one year.

SaaS Revenue

Our subscription revenues are derived primarily from platform services provided by Lofty and Trucker Path.

Other Services

Our revenues from other services consist primarily of back-office services provided to Oak Pacific Investments.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues consists primarily of App and Play Store fees, cloud hosting services, merchant fees, and print services.

Our business has evolved rapidly in recent years. We believe that historical period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations may not be indicative of future performance.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2023 Compared with Three Months Ended September 30, 2022

Revenues

Our revenues increased by 10.8% from US$12.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 to US$13.3 million for the same period in 2023. This increase was primarily due to the increase in revenue from our SaaS businesses.

Subscription Services. Our revenue from subscription services increased by 15.6% from US$10.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 to US$12.3 million for the same period in 2023. The increase was primarily due to the expansion of our SaaS businesses. The Company’s paying subscriptions as of September 30, 2023 for Lofty and Trucker Path increased to 3,700 and 99,200, by 5.7% and 19.2%, compared to September 30, 2022 paying subscriptions of 3,500 and 83,200, respectively. Purchased seats for Lofty, defined as eligible users on a paid subscription, increased to 50,000 as of September 30, 2023 from 40,000 as of September 30, 2022, an increase of 25%.

25

Table of Contents

Advertising Services. Our revenue from advertising services decreased by 30.0% from US$1,218 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2022 to US$853 thousand for the same period in 2023.

Cost of revenues

Our cost of revenues increased by 4.5% from US$2.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 to US$2.8 million for the same period in 2023. This increase was primarily due to the increase of software expenses directly related to the generation of revenue and cloud hosting services to provide a better user experience and grow the SaaS businesses.

Gross Margins

Our gross margin increased 1.2% from 77.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 to 78.8%. The increase was primarily due to the subscription increase of Trucker Path.

Operating expenses

Our operating expenses decreased by 7.6% from US$12.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 to US$11.3 million for the same period in 2023, primarily due cost reduction initiatives.

Selling and marketing expenses. Our selling and marketing expenses decreased by 9.2% from US$4.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 to US$4.4 million for the same period in 2023. This decrease was primarily due to lower compensation and commissions due to decreased headcount.
Research and development expenses. Our research and development expenses decreased slightly by 0.2% from US$4,274  thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2022 to US$4,267 thousand for the same period in 2023. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in our research and development headcount for new projects offset by service fee paid to outside contractors.
General and administrative expenses. Our general and administrative expenses decreased by 15.3% from US$3.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 to US$2.6 million for the same period in 2023. The decrease was primarily due to lower compensation costs on lower headcount.

Loss from fair value change of a long-term investment

Our loss from fair value change of a long-term investment was US$6.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared with loss of US$8.2 million for the same period in 2022. The loss from fair value change of a long-term investment represents the unrealized loss from Kaixin, which is accounted for as an equity investment with readily determinable fair value.

Nine months ended September 30, 2023 Compared with Nine months ended September 30, 2022

Revenues

Our revenues increased by 15.0% from US$33.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to US$38.3 million for the same period in 2023. This increase was primarily due to the increase in revenue from our SaaS businesses.

Subscription Services. Our revenue from subscription services increased by 19.9% from US$29.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to US$35.5 million for the same period in 2023.

The Company’s paying subscriptions as of September 30, 2023 for Lofty and Trucker Path increased to 3,700 and 94,600, by 5.7% and 13.7%, compared to September 30, 2022 paying subscriptions of 3,500 and 83,200, respectively. Purchased seats for Lofty, defined as eligible users on a paid subscription, increased to 50,000 as of September 30, 2023 from 40,000 as of September 30, 2022, an increase of 25%.

Table of Contents

Cost of revenues

Our cost of revenues increased by 6.6% from US$7.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to US$8.2 million for the same period in 2023. This increase was primarily due to the increase of software expenses directly related to the generation of revenue and cloud hosting services to provide a better user experience and grow the SaaS businesses.

Gross Margins

Our gross margin increased 1.7% from 77.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to 78.7%. The increase was primarily due to the subscription increase of Trucker Path.

Operating expenses

Our operating expenses increased by 0.3% from US$37.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to US$37.2 million for the same period in 2023, primarily due to an increase in research and development expenses partially offset by a decrease in general and administrative expenses.

Selling and marketing expenses. Our selling and marketing expenses decreased by 3.7% from US$14.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to US$13.9 million for the same period in 2023. This decrease was primarily due to lower compensation and commissions due to decreased headcount.
Research and development expenses. Our research and development expenses increased by 17.7% from US$12.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to US$14.1 million for the same period in 2023.

General and administrative expenses. Our general and administrative expenses decreased by 13.7% from US$10.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to US$9.2 million for the same period in 2023. The decrease was due primarily to lower share-based compensation expense.

Other income, net

We had other income of US$1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, which primarily consisted of US$1.3 million release of tax liabilities in 2023, compared with other income of US$1.4 million for the same period in 2022, which was primarily due to US$1.4 million loan forgiveness in 2022.

Gain (loss) from fair value change of a long-term investment

Our loss from fair value change of a long-term investment was US$6.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared with gain from fair value change of a long-term investment of US$5.2 million for the same period in 2022. The gain (loss) from fair value change of a long-term investment represents the unrealized gain (loss) from Kaixin, which is accounted for as an equity investment with readily determinable fair value.

Segment Operations

The Company is engaged in providing B2B SaaS platforms and services to customers primarily located in the United States. The Company operates in two reportable segments: Lofty and Trucker Path. The Company defines its segments as those operations whose results the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) regularly reviews to analyze performance and allocate resources.

The Lofty segment includes the Company’s all-in-one real estate sales acceleration and client lifecycle management platform. The Trucker Path segment includes the Company’s driver-centric online transportation management platform.

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, 2022 and September 30, 2023, we had working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of US$31.9 million and US$20.7 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 US$45.5 million, including $9.2 millions proceeds from a related party, excluding short-term investments of US$4.4 million as of September 30, 2023. The cash reserve is expected to meet our operating needs and other requirements and plans for cash for at least the next twelve months from the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. However, if negative cash flow from operating activities persists in the long run, our cash resources may become insufficient to satisfy on-going cash requirements. Cash and short-term investments are held at multiple financial institutions. We have diversified our holding banks to reduce the impact of bank failures, such as Silicon Valley Bank ("SVB"), on our uninsured deposits and to facilitate international operations.

Our material cash uses included investments in short-term government and agency securities, share repurchase, investment in adding product features and growing our enterprise presence in Lofty, Lofty’s entry into property management SaaS services, and in research and development to add features to Trucker Path to allow us to extend the services offered to drivers and to serve the needs of other industry participants including brokers, fleets, and dispatchers. We issued a standby letter of credit to the benefit of East West Bank that guarantees Kaixin's and its subsidiary’s payment of approximately US$7.1 million to East West Bank, which is an uncollateralized guarantee carried over from our deconsolidation of Kaixin and fully reserved. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, approximately $5.87 million had been claimed under our standby letter of credit in connection with a Kaixin subsidiary's default of certain guaranteed loan. The Company believes the other Kaixin loans guaranteed by the standby letter of credit will go default in the foreseeable future, and we may purchase the defaulted loans and the accompanying rights of recourse from East West Bank or, if we choose not to purchase the defaulted loans, East West Bank may seize our cash deposits pledged as security under the standby letter of credit, which amounted to US$7.1 million as of September 30, 2023, and/or demand reimbursement from us. The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the periods indicated:

Net cash used in operating activities was US$4.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to US$2.2 million for the same period in 2022. The principal adjustments to reconcile our net loss to our net cash used in operating activities were impairment on long-term investment without readily determinable fair values, loss (income) in equity method investments, release of tax liabilities and gain on debt forgiveness, fair value change on long-term investment and share-based compensation expense. The principal change in operating assets and liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was a decrease in PRC business tax liability and an increase in Trucker Path subscriptions receivable.

Net cash provided by investing activities was US$18.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to net cash used in investing activities of US$7.4 million for the same period in 2022. Net cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to US$19.6 million from redemption of short-term investment, offset by $0.9 million to for the purchases of property and refurbishment construction on the headquarters office. Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was for the purchase of our new corporate headquarters, intangible assets and subsidiaries, partially offset by the redemption of short-term investments.

Net cash provided by financing activities was US$2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to net cash used in financing activities of US$0.07 million for the same period in 2022. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to settlement of the shareholder derivative lawsuit for which we received a one-time dividend of US$2.6 million for shares held in 2023 and proceeds of US$9.2 million from OPI, partly offset by the repurchase of US$9.1 million ordinary shares. Net cash used in financing activities was US$0.07 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily due to the borrowing repayment of US$0.26 million, partly offset by the proceeds from exercise of share options and restricted shares of US$0.19 million.

Research and Development

Our research and development efforts focus on developing and improving the scalability, features, and functionality 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 280 engineers and developers as of September 30, 2023, accounting for approximately 56% of our employees. Most of our engineers and developers are based at our subsidiary’s office in Beijing, China. We also have engineers in the Philippines and Eastern Europe.

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 2023, with the acquisition of Rentancy 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.

Our research and development expenses primarily include salaries and benefits for our research and development personnel. We incurred US$12.0 million and US$14.1 million of research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2023, respectively.

Intellectual Property

Our intellectual property includes trademarks and trademark applications related to our brands and services, copyrights in software, trade secrets, patent applications 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, patent, copyright and trade secret protection laws in the US, PRC, and other jurisdictions, as well as through confidentiality agreements and procedures.

We have been granted 1 patent. In addition, we maintain 32 copyright registrations, all of which are computer software copyright registrations as of September 30, 2023. Our employees sign confidentiality and non-compete agreements when hired.

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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), 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 interim 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 September 30, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, due to the two material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as described below.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, for our company. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of a company’s assets, (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that a company’s receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of a company’s management and directors, and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of a company’s assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. Due to its inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to consolidated financial statement preparation and presentation and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.

As required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and related rules as promulgated by the SEC, our management assessed the effectiveness of our company’s internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2023, using criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. During the year ended December 31, 2022, our management identified two material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which remain unremediated as of September 30, 2023, 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 are accurately recorded and properly disclosed; and
Lack of evaluations to ascertain whether the components of internal control are present and functioning.

As a result of these material weaknesses and based on the evaluation described above, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of September 30, 2023. Notwithstanding these material weaknesses, however, our management has concluded that the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.

Management’s Remediation Plans and Actions

To remediate the material weaknesses described above in “Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting,” we are implementing the plan and measures described below. We will continue to evaluate our remediation progress 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.
We have recently designated new audit committee members with sufficient accounting and reporting experience and knowledge, and will design and implement risk assessment policies and procedures to identify and assess internal and external risks relating to financial reporting on a regular basis. The Board and Audit Committee will oversee implementation of such policies and procedures.
We will design and implement evaluation policies and procedures to ascertain internal control components are present and functioning.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2023 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.
