NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2020

Note 1. Description of Business, Organization and Principles of Consolidation

Description of Business

On September 26, 2019, the Company changed its name from One Horizon Group, Inc. to Touchpoint Group Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”). The Company has the following businesses:

The Company is based in the United States of America and the United Kingdom.

Interim Period Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the “SEC”) instructions. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The results of operations reflect interim adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature and, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such interim period. The results reported in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should not be regarded as necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. Certain information and note disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the SEC’s rules and regulations. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, as filed with the SEC on April 24, 2020.

Current Structure of the Company

The Company has the following subsidiaries: 

In addition to the subsidiaries listed above, Suzhou Aishuo Network Information Co., Ltd (“Suzhou Aishuo”) is a limited liability company, organized in China and controlled by the Company via various contractual arrangements. Suzhou Aishuo is treated as one of our subsidiaries for financial reporting purposes in accordance with GAAP.

All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically, the Company has incurred net losses and negative cash flows from operations which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has principally financed these losses from the sale of equity securities and the issuance of debt instruments.

The Company will be required to raise additional funds through various sources, such as equity and debt financings. While the Company believes it is probable that such financings could be secured, there can be no assurance the Company will be able to secure additional sources of funds to support its operations, or if such funds are available, that such additional financing will be sufficient to meet the Company’s needs or on terms acceptable to us.

At September 30, 2020, the Company had cash of approximately $131,000. Together with the Company’s current operational plan and budget, and expected financings, the Company believes that it is probable that it will have sufficient cash to fund its operations into at least the first quarter of 2021. However, actual results could differ materially from the Company’s projections.

On August 5, 2019 the Company entered into an equity purchase agreement (“Equity Purchase Agreement”) with Crown Bridge Partners, LLC (“Crown”), whereby Crown is expected to purchase up to $10.0 million of new common stock from the Company at the Company’s option during the next three years. The amount is determined by the market value of trades and priced at an 18% discount to average market price. As of September 30, 2020, 645,757 shares have been sold under the Equity Purchase Agreement for net cash proceeds of $19,969.

Basis of Accounting and Presentation

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP.

Foreign Currency Translation

The reporting currency of the Company is the United States dollar. Assets and liabilities other than those denominated in U.S. dollars, primarily in the United Kingdom, are translated into United States dollars at the rate of exchange at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange throughout the period. Gains or losses from these translations are reported as a separate component of other comprehensive income (loss) until all or a part of the investment in the subsidiaries is sold or liquidated. The translation adjustments do not recognize the effect of income tax because the Company expects to reinvest the amounts indefinitely in operations.

Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange-rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in general and administrative expenses.

Cash

Cash and cash equivalents include bank demand deposit accounts and highly liquid short-term investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased. Cash consists of checking accounts held at financial institutions in the U.S. and the United Kingdom which balances may exceed insured limits at times. The Company has not experienced any losses related to these balances, and management believes the credit risk to be minimal.

Accounts Receivable, Revenue Recognition and Concentrations

Performance Obligations - A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account under the revenue recognition standard. The transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. The Company’s contracts do not typically have variable consideration that needs to be considered when the contract consideration is allocated to each performance obligation.

Revenue Recognition – We recognize revenues from each business segment as described below:

— Continuing operations

— Discontinued operations

The Company does not have off-balance sheet credit exposure related to its customers. As of September 30, 2020 eight customers (and as of December 31, 2019 two customers) accounted for 100% of the accounts receivable balance. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, six customers accounted for 100% of the revenue and two customers accounted for 61% of the revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets include software development costs and acquired technology and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives ranging from four to five years. The Company periodically evaluates whether changes have occurred that would require revision of the remaining estimated useful life. The Company performs periodic reviews of its capitalized intangible assets to determine if the assets have continuing value to the Company.

Impairment of Other Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates the recoverability of its property and equipment and other long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. An impairment loss is recognized when the net book value of such assets exceeds the estimated future undiscounted cash flows attributed to the assets or the business to which the assets relate. Impairment losses, if any, are measured as the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the assets. No impairment charge has been determined during the respective three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. As set out in Note 3, during the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded an impairment charge related to the Company’s discontinued operations of $2.4 million.

Income Taxes

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, operating loss, and tax credit carryforwards, and are measured using the enacted income tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Realization of certain deferred income tax assets is dependent upon generating sufficient taxable income in the appropriate jurisdiction. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred income tax assets to amounts that are more likely than not to be realized. The initial recording and any subsequent changes to valuation allowances are based on a number of factors (positive and negative evidence). The Company considers its actual historical results to have a stronger weight than other, more subjective, indicators when considering whether to establish or reduce a valuation allowance.

Net Loss per Share

Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in the period. Diluted loss per share takes into consideration common shares outstanding (computed under basic loss per share) and potentially dilutive securities. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, outstanding warrants are antidilutive because of net losses, and as such, their effect has not been included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share. Common shares issuable are considered outstanding as of the original approval date for purposes of earnings per share computations.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Other comprehensive income (loss), as defined, includes net income (loss), foreign currency translation adjustment, and all changes in equity (net assets) during a period from nonowner sources. To date, the Company has not had any significant transactions that are required to be reported in other comprehensive income (loss), except for foreign currency translation adjustments.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the fiscal period. The Company makes estimates for, among other items, useful lives for depreciation and amortization, determination of future cash flows associated with impairment testing for long-lived assets, determination of the fair value of stock options and warrants, determining fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, allowances for doubtful accounts, and potential income tax assessments and other contingencies. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, current conditions, and other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

Recently adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes," which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. ASU 2019-12 is effective for us for annual periods beginning January 1, 2021. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this new pronouncement, and the impact, if any, the adoption of this guidance has on our financial position and results of operations.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The purpose of this ASU is to reduce the cost and complexity of evaluating goodwill for impairment. It eliminates the need for entities to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill by assigning the fair value of a reporting unit to all of its assets and liabilities as if that reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. Under this ASU, an entity will perform its goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted the ASU on January 1, 2020. The amendment did not have an impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

 Other receivables

Other receivables of the Company consisted of receivables from Banana Whale Studios Pte Ltd. (“Banana Whale”) and Browning for the balances of amounts outstanding from the sale of the former subsidiaries. The outstanding balances as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were $229,000 and $250,000 respectively (see Note 3).

Note 3. Discontinued operations

On January 1, 2019 the Company sold its 51% interest in Banana Whale to a third party in return for $1,500,000 in cash, a promissory note in the principal amount of $500,000 (the “Banana Whale Note”) and the return of 295,322 shares of the Company’s common stock issued upon acquisition.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company decided to sell its interests in its subsidiaries, Love Media House and Browning. In connection with this determination, the Company concluded the intangible assets related to these subsidiaries were impaired. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment charge of approximately $2.4 million which was included in the loss from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2019.

In June 2020, Mr. Browning returned the 89,333 shares of Company common stock issued under the original acquisition. The shares have now been cancelled by the Company.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company realized a net gain of $379,000 on the sale of its interests in former subsidiaries.

The Company has accounted for the operations of Love Media House and Browning as discontinued operations. The Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 for discontinued operations is as follows (in thousands, unaudited):
