NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(In thousands, except for share and per share data)

Note 1. General

Overview

XpresSpa Group, Inc. (“XpresSpa Group”) is a leading global travel health and wellness services holding company. XpresSpa Group currently has two reportable operating segments: XpresSpa and XpresTest.

XpresSpa has been a global airport retailer of spa services through its XpresSpa™ spa locations, offering travelers premium spa services, including massage, nail and skin care, as well as spa and travel products (“XpresSpa”).

Through XpresSpa Group’s XpresTest, Inc. subsidiary (“XpresTest”), the company launched XpresCheck™ Wellness Centers, also in airports. XpresCheck offers COVID-19 and other medical diagnostic testing services to the traveling public, as well as airline, airport and concessionaire employees, and TSA and U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents. XpresTest has entered into managed services agreements (“MSAs”) with professional medical services companies that provide health care services to patients. The medical services companies pay XpresTest a monthly fee to operate in the XpresCheck Wellness Centers. Under the terms of the MSAs, we provide office space, equipment, supplies, non-licensed staff, and management services in return for a management fee.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, as amended. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 was derived from the audited annual financial statements but does not include all information required by GAAP for annual financial statements. The financial statements include the accounts of the Company, all entities that are wholly owned by the Company, and all entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. All adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation for the periods presented have been reflected by the Company. Such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year or for any other interim period. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Recent Developments

Effect of Novel Coronavirus on Business

In March 2020, the Company temporarily closed all global XpresSpa locations due to the categorization by local jurisdictions of the spa locations as “non-essential services.” Substantially all of the Company’s XpresSpa locations remain closed. The Company intends to reopen XpresSpa spa locations on a location-by-location basis and resume normal operations at such selected locations once restrictions are lifted and airport traffic returns to sufficient levels to support operations at a unit level.

Since the time of that temporary closure, the Company successfully launched its XpresCheck™ Wellness Centers, offering such testing services, as described above. Also, the Company continues to evaluate alternative testing protocols and work in partnership with airlines for safe travels.

While management has used all currently available information in assessing its business prospects, the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Company’s XpresCheck™ Wellness Centers on its results of operations, financial

condition and cash flows remains uncertain. The success or failure of the Company’s XpresCheck™ Wellness Centers could also have a material effect on the Company’s business.

XpresCheck™ Wellness Centers

Through our XpresCheck™ Wellness Centers and under the terms of Managed Services Agreements (“MSAs”) with physicians’ practices, we offer testing services from our 13 XpresCheck™ Wellness Centers at 11 Airports in 10 states to airline employees, contractors, concessionaire employees, TSA officers and U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents, as well as the traveling public. The Company has entered into MSAs with professional medical service entities that provide healthcare services to patients. Under the terms of the MSAs, XpresTest provides office space, equipment, supplies, non-licensed staff, and management services to be used for the purpose of COVID-19 and other medical diagnostic testing in return for a management fee. Since December 31, 2020, we announced the opening of the following XpresCheck™ Wellness Centers to provide diagnostic COVID-19 testing:

On January 12, 2021, the Company opened its second XpresCheck™ Wellness Center at Boston’s Logan International Airport. It contains four separate testing rooms to provide diagnostic COVID-19 testing.

On January 20, 2021, the Company announced the opening of an XpresCheck™ Wellness Center at Salt Lake City International Airport. It contains four separate testing rooms to provide diagnostic COVID-19 testing.

On February 16, 2021, the Company announced the opening of an XpresCheck™ Wellness Center of the Company’s second XpresCheck testing facility at Newark Liberty International Airport. It contains four separate testing rooms to provide diagnostic COVID-19 testing.

On March 8, 2021, the Company announced the opening of an XpresCheck™ Wellness Center at Houston George Bush Intercontinental Airport. It contains four separate testing rooms to provide diagnostic COVID-19 testing.

On March 15, 2021, the Company announced the opening of XpresCheck™ Wellness Centers at Dulles International and Reagan National Airports in Virginia, containing nine and four separate testing rooms, respectively, to provide diagnostic COVID-19 testing.

On April 8, 2021, the Company announced the opening of an XpresCheck™ Wellness Center at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. It contains eight separate testing rooms to provide diagnostic COVID-19 testing.

On April 21, 2021, the Company announced the opening of an XpresCheck™ Wellness Center at San Francisco International Airport. It contains nine separate testing rooms to provide diagnostic COVID-19 testing.

Airport Rent Concessions

The Company has received rent concessions from landlords on a majority of its leases, allowing for the relief of minimum guaranteed payments in exchange for percentage-of-revenue rent or providing relief from rent through payment deferrals. Currently, the periods of relief from these payments range from three to nineteen months and began in March 2020. The Company received minimum guaranteed payment concessions of approximately $472 and $75 in the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, respectively, and $2,504 in the twelve months ended March 31, 2021. The company expects to realize additional rent concessions while our XpresSpa locations remain closed.

Liquidity and Financial Condition

As of March 31, 2021, the Company had cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash, of $102,649, total current assets of $107,789, total current liabilities of $13,842 and positive working capital of $93,947, compared to a positive working capital of $78,302 as of December 31, 2020.

Table of Contents

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, holders of the Company’s December 2020 Investor Warrants, December 2020 Placement Agent Warrants and December 2020 Placement Agent Tail Fee Warrants exercised a total of 11,223,529 warrants for common shares. The Company received gross proceeds of approximately $19,161. In accordance with the placement agent agreements with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC and Palladium, the Company paid cash fees of $2,154 and issued 842,588 warrants to H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC at an exercise price of $2.125 per share and 325,500 warrants to Palladium at an exercise price of $1.70 per share. See Note 8. Stockholders’ Equity for related discussion.

Note 2. Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies

(a) Revenue Recognition Policy

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of XpresSpa products and services when the services are rendered at XpresSpa stores and from the sale of products at the time products are purchased at our stores or online usually by credit card, net of discounts and applicable sales taxes. Accordingly, the Company recognizes revenue for our single performance obligation related to both in-store and online sales at the point at which the service has been performed or the control of the merchandise has passed to the customer. Revenues from the XpresSpa retail and e-commerce businesses are recorded at the time goods are shipped.

Through its XpresCheck™ Wellness Centers and under the terms of Managed Services Agreements (“MSAs”) with a physician’s practice, the Company offers testing services to airline employees, contractors, concessionaire employees, TSA officers and U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents, as well as the traveling public. The Company has entered into MSAs with professional medical service entities that provide healthcare services to patients. Under the terms of the MSAs, XpresTest provides office space, equipment, supplies, non-licensed staff, and management services to be used for the purpose of COVID-19 and other medical diagnostic testing in return for a management fee. However, as a result of uncertainties around the cash flows of the XpresCheck™ Wellness Centers, the Company concluded in 2020 that the collectability criteria to qualify as a contract under ASC 606 was not met, and therefore, revenue associated with the monthly management fee would not be recognized until a subsequent reassessment resulted in the MSAs meeting the collectability criteria. XpresTest recognized $8,178 of revenue (including catch-up revenue of $3,186 for 2020) during the three months ended March 31, 2021, under the MSAs, pursuant to reassessments in Q1 2021, of MSA agreements executed in 2020, and assessments of MSA agreements executed in 2021 resulting in management’s conclusion that they met the collectability criteria.

The Company has a franchise agreement with an unaffiliated franchisee to operate an XpresSpa location. Under the Company’s franchising model, all initial franchising fees relate to the franchise right, which is a single performance obligation that transfers over time. Upon receipt of the non-recurring, non-refundable initial franchise fee, management records a deferred revenue liability in Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets and recognizes revenue on a straight-line basis over the life of the franchise agreement.

The Company has also entered into collaborative agreements with marketing partners whereby it sells certain of its partners’ products in the Company’s XpresSpa spas. The Company acts as an agent for revenue recognition purposes and therefore records revenue net of the revenue share payable to the partners. Upon receipt of the non-recurring, non-refundable initial collaboration fee, management records a deferred revenue liability in Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets and recognizes revenue on a straight-line basis over the life of the collaboration agreement.

The Company excludes all sales taxes assessed to our customers from revenue. Sales taxes assessed on revenues are included in Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets until remitted to state agencies.

(b) Recently issued accounting pronouncements

Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-06—Debt--Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)

Issued in August 2020, this update is intended to reduce the unnecessary complexity of the current guidance thus resulting in more accurate accounting for convertible instruments and consistent treatment from one entity to the next. Under current GAAP, there are five accounting models for convertible debt instruments. Except for the traditional convertible debt model that recognizes a convertible debt instrument as a single debt instrument, the other four models, with their different measurement guidance, require that a convertible debt instrument be separated (using different separation approaches) into a debt component and an equity or a derivative component. Convertible preferred stock also is required to be assessed under similar models. The Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) decided to simplify the accounting for convertible instruments by removing certain separation models currently included in other accounting guidance that were being applied to current accounting for convertible instruments. Under the amendments in this update, an embedded conversion feature no longer needs to be separated from the host contract for convertible instruments with conversion features that are not required to be accounted for as derivatives. Consequently, a convertible debt instrument will be accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost and a convertible preferred stock will be accounted for as a single equity instrument measured at its historical cost, as long as no other features require bifurcation and recognition as derivatives. The FASB also decided to add additional disclosure requirements in an attempt to improve the usefulness and relevance of the information being provided.

The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not believe the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-10—Codification Improvements

Issued in October 2020, this release updates various codification topics by clarifying or improving disclosure requirements to align with the SEC’s regulations. The Company adopted ASU 2020-10 as of the reporting period beginning January 1, 2021.

Note 6. Leases

The Company leases its retail and diagnostic testing locations at various domestic and international airports. Additionally, the Company leases its corporate office in New York City. Certain leases entered into by the Company fall under ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (“ASC 842”). At inception, the Company determines if a lease qualifies under ASC 842. Certain of the Company’s lease arrangements contain fixed payments throughout the term of the lease, while others involve a variable component to determine the lease obligation wherein a certain percentage of sales is used to calculate the lease payment.

All qualifying leases held by the Company are classified as operating leases. Operating lease right of use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease right of use assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized as of the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company records its operating lease right of use assets and operating lease liabilities based on required guaranteed payments under each lease agreement. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as of the commencement date of the lease, which approximates the rate at which the Company can borrow funds on a secured basis, in determining the present value of the guaranteed lease payments.

The Company reviews all of its existing lease agreements on a quarterly basis to determine whether there were any modifications to existing lease agreements and to assess if any leases should be accounted for pursuant to the guidance in ASC 842. The Company recalculates the right of use asset and lease liability based on the modified lease terms and adjusts both balances accordingly.

Table of Contents

Currently, the periods of relief from these payments range from three to nineteen months and began in March 2020. The Company received minimum guaranteed payment concessions of approximately $472 and $75 in the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, respectively, and $2,504 in the twelve months ended March 31, 2021. The company expects to receive additional rent concessions while our spas remain closed.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a Q&A in March 2020 that focused on the application of lease guidance in ASC 842 for lease concessions related to the effects of COVID-19. The FASB staff has said that entities can elect to not evaluate whether concessions granted by lessors related to COVID-19 are lease modifications. Entities that make this election can then apply the lease modification guidance in ASC 842 or account for the concession as if it were contemplated as part of the existing contract. XpresSpa has elected to not treat the concessions as lease modifications and will instead account for the lease concessions as if they were contemplated as part of the existing leases.

When a lessor grants a concession that contractually releases a lessee from certain lease payments or defers lease payments, a lessee may account for the concession as a negative variable lease payment and recognize negative variable lease expense in the period when the rent concession becomes accruable. The Company has recorded negative variable lease expense and adjusted lease liabilities at the point in which the rent concession has become accruable.

Supplemental cash flow information related to leases for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 were as follows:

Paycheck Protection Program

On May 1, 2020, the Company entered into a U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) promissory note in the principal amount of $5,653 payable to Bank of America, NA (the “Bank of America”) evidencing a PPP loan (the “PPP Loan”). The PPP Loan bears interest at a rate of 1% per annum. No payments will be due on the PPP Loan during a six-month deferral period commencing on May 2, 2020. Commencing one month after the expiration of the deferral period and continuing on the same day of each month thereafter until the maturity date of the PPP Loan, the Company will be obligated to make monthly payments of principal and interest, each in such equal amount required to fully amortize the principal amount outstanding on the PPP Loan by the maturity date. The maturity date is May 2, 2022. The principal amount of the PPP Loan is subject to forgiveness under the PPP upon the Company’s request to the extent that PPP Loan proceeds are used to pay expenses permitted by the PPP. Bank of America may forgive interest accrued on any principal forgiven if the SBA pays the interest. At this time, there can be no assurance that any part of the PPP Loan will be forgiven. The PPP Loan contains customary borrower default provisions and lender remedies, including the right of Bank of America to require immediate repayment in full the outstanding principal balance of the PPP Loan with accrued interest. As of March 31, 2021, $51 of interest has been accrued and is included in Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

March 31, 2021	37,988,940	$	0.525 - 300.00

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, holders of the Company’s December 2020 Investor Warrants, December 2020 Placement Agent Warrants and December 2020 Placement Agent Tail Fee Warrants exercised warrants for a total of 11,223,529 common shares. The Company received gross proceeds of approximately $19,161. In accordance with the placement agent agreements with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC and Palladium, the Company paid cash fees of $2,154 and issued 842,588 warrants to H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC at an exercise price of $2.125 per share and 325,500 warrants to Palladium at an exercise price of $1.70 per share.

Stock-based Compensation

In September 2020, the Board of Directors approved a new stock-based compensation plan available to grant stock options, restricted stock and RSU’s to the Company’s directors, employees and consultants. Under the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”), a maximum of 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock may be issued, subject to receiving shareholder

Table of Contents

approval which was subsequently obtained on October 28, 2020. The 2012 Plan was terminated upon receipt of shareholder approval of the 2020 Plan.

Awards granted under the 2012 Plan remain in effect pursuant to their terms. Generally, stock options are granted with exercise prices equal to the fair market value on the date of grant, vest in four equal quarterly installments, and expire 10 years from the date of grant. RSUs granted generally vest over a period of one year.

In September 2020, the Company’s XpresTest subsidiary created a stock-based compensation plan available to grant stock options, restricted stock and RSU’s to the subsidiary’s directors, employees and consultants. Under the XpresTest 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “XpresTest Plan”), a maximum of 200 shares of XpresTest Common Stock may be awarded, which would represent 20% of the total number of shares of common stock of XpresTest as of March 31, 2021. Certain named executive officers, consultants, and directors of the Company are eligible to participate in the XpresTest Plan. The XpresTest Plan RSAs vest upon satisfaction of certain service and performance-based conditions. The fair value of the XpresTest RSAs is determined based on the weighted average of i) Fair Value of XpresTest under the Indirect Valuation Method developing assumptions for XpresSpa Net Market Cap and XpresSpa standalone Fair Value, and ii) Direct Valuation Method developing assumptions for XpresTest Representative Forecasted Revenue for 2021 and Peer companies Revenue’s Multiples. As of March 31, 2021, there is $98 of unrecognized stock-based compensation related to the XpresTest Plan. During May 2021, the company repurchased seven common shares exercised pursuant to the XpresTest Plan, for the grantees to defray their tax liabilities related to the XpresTest Plan RSAs award.

The fair value of stock options is estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton (“Black-Scholes”) option-pricing model. The Company uses the simplified method to estimate the expected term of options due to insufficient history and high turnover in the past.

The following variables were used as inputs in the model:


Share price of the Company’s Common Stock on the grant date:	$	1.26 - 5.01
Exercise price:	$	1.26 - 5.01
Expected volatility:		123	%
Expected dividend yield:		0	%
Annual average risk-free rate:		0.37	%
Expected term:		5.38	years

Note 9. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value measurements are determined based on assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or a liability. A three-tiered hierarchy distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on (i) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets (Level 1), (ii) inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly (Level 2) and (iii) unobservable inputs that require the Company to use present value and other valuation techniques in the determination of fair value (Level 3).

The following table presents the placement in the fair value hierarchy measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020:


			Fair value measurement at reporting date using
			Quoted prices in
			active markets		Significant other		Significant
			for identical		observable		unobservable
	Balance		assets (Level 1)		inputs (Level 2)		inputs (Level 3)
As of March 31, 2021:
Recurring fair value measurements
Equity securities:
Route1, Inc.	$	1,867	$	—	$	1,867	$	—
Total equity securities		1,867		—		1,867		—
Total recurring fair value measurements	$	1,867	$	—	$	1,867	$	—

As of December 31, 2020
Recurring fair value measurements
Equity securities:
Route1	$	1,768	$	—	$	1,768	$	—
Total equity securities		1,768		—		1,768		—
Total recurring fair value measurements	$	1,768	$	—	$	1,768	$	—

Equity securities pertain to common shares in Route1, Inc. obtained in the 2018 sale of Group Mobile to Route 1, Inc. On March 22, 2021, the Company executed a cashless exercise of warrants to purchase 3,000,000 common shares of Route 1, Inc.. In exchange, the Company received 1,355,443 common shares of Route 1, Inc., bringing the total number of shares owned to 3,855,443. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recorded an unrealized gain of $99 in connection with the remeasurement of the common shares of Route 1, Inc.

In addition to the above, the Company’s financial instruments as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 consisted of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and debt. The carrying amounts of all the aforementioned financial instruments approximate fair value because of the short-term maturities of these instruments.

Note 10. Income Taxes

The Company’s provision for income taxes consists of federal, state, local, and foreign taxes in amounts necessary to align the Company’s year-to-date provision for income taxes with the effective tax rate that the Company expects to achieve for the full year. The income tax provision for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 reflects a de minimis estimated global annual effective tax rate.

As of March 31, 2021, deferred tax assets generated from the Company’s activities in the United States were offset by a valuation allowance because realization depends on generating future taxable income, which, in the Company’s estimation, is not more likely than not to be generated before such net operating loss carryforwards expire. Net operating losses generated for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017 do not expire. The Company expects its effective tax rate for

Table of Contents

its current fiscal year to be significantly lower than the statutory rate as a result of a full valuation allowance; therefore, any loss before income taxes does not generate a corresponding income tax benefit.

The Company had de minimis income tax expense for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021. This was attributable primarily to operating results in conjunction with a full valuation allowance. The final annual tax rate cannot be determined until the end of the fiscal year; therefore, the actual tax rate could differ from current estimates. The Company does not expect to record any additional material provisions for unrecognized tax benefits in the next year.

Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation and legal proceedings

Certain of the Company’s outstanding legal matters include speculative claims for substantial or indeterminate amounts of damages. The Company regularly evaluates developments in its legal matters that could affect the amount of any potential liability and makes adjustments as appropriate. Significant judgment is required to determine both the likelihood of there being any potential liability and the estimated amount of a loss related to the Company’s legal matters.

With respect to the Company’s outstanding legal matters, based on its current knowledge, the Company’s management believes that the amount or range of a potential loss will not, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on its business, consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, the outcome of such legal matters is inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties. The Company evaluated the outstanding legal matters and assessed the probability and likelihood of the occurrence of liability. Based on management’s estimates, the Company has recorded accruals of $1,963 and $2,221 as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, which is included in Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company expenses legal fees in the period in which they are incurred.

Cordial

Effective October 2014, XpresSpa terminated its former Airport Concession Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (“ACDBE”) partner, Cordial Endeavor Concessions of Atlanta, LLC (“Cordial”), in several store locations at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

Cordial filed a series of complaints with the City of Atlanta, both before and after the termination, in which Cordial alleged, among other things, that the termination was not valid and that XpresSpa unlawfully retaliated against Cordial when Cordial raised concerns about the joint venture. In response to the numerous complaints it received from Cordial, the City of Atlanta required the parties to engage in two mediations.

After the termination of the relationship with Cordial, XpresSpa sought to substitute two new ACDBE partners in place of Cordial.

In April 2015, Cordial filed a complaint with the United States Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”), which oversees the City of Atlanta with regard to airport ACDBE programs, and, in December 2015, the FAA instructed that the City of Atlanta review XpresSpa’s request to substitute new partners in lieu of Cordial and Cordial’s claims of retaliation. In response to the FAA instruction, pursuant to a corrective action plan approved by the FAA, the City of Atlanta held a hearing in February 2016 and ruled in favor of XpresSpa on such substitution and claims of retaliation. Cordial submitted a further complaint to the FAA claiming that the City of Atlanta was biased against Cordial and that the City of Atlanta’s decision was wrong. In August 2016, the parties met with the FAA. On October 4, 2016, the FAA sent a letter to the City of Atlanta directing that the City of Atlanta retract previous findings on Cordial’s allegations and engage an independent third party to investigate issues previously decided by Atlanta. The FAA also directed that the City of Atlanta determine monies potentially due to Cordial.

Table of Contents

On January 3, 2017, XpresSpa filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, against Cordial and several related parties. The lawsuit alleges breach of contract, unjust enrichment, breach of fiduciary duty, fraudulent inducement, fraudulent concealment, tortious interference, and breach of good faith and fair dealing. XpresSpa is seeking damages, declaratory judgment, and rescission/termination of certain agreements, disgorgement of revenue, fees and costs, and various other relief. On February 21, 2017, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss. On March 3, 2017, XpresSpa filed a first amended complaint against the defendants. On April 5, 2017, Cordial filed a motion to dismiss. On September 12, 2017, the Court held a hearing on the motion to dismiss. On November 2, 2017, the Court granted the motion to dismiss which was entered on November 13, 2017. On December 22, 2017, XpresSpa filed a notice of appeal, and on September 24, 2018, XpresSpa perfected its appellate rights and submitted a brief to the Supreme Court of New York, First Department appellate court. Oral argument on the appeal went forward on March 20, 2019.

On March 30, 2018, Cordial filed a lawsuit against XpresSpa Group, a subsidiary of XpresSpa Group, and several additional parties in the Superior Court of Fulton County, Georgia, alleging the violation of Cordial’s civil rights, tortious interference, breach of fiduciary duty, civil conspiracy, conversion, retaliation, and unjust enrichment. Cordial threated to seek punitive damages, attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses, accounting, indemnification, and declaratory judgment as to the status of the membership interests of XpresSpa and Cordial in the joint venture and Cordial’s right to profit distributions and management fees from the joint venture. On May 4, 2018, the defendants moved the lawsuit to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. On August 9, 2018, the Court granted an additional extension of time for the defendants’ response until September 7, 2018, and thereafter provided another extension pending the Court’s consideration of XpresSpa’s Motion to Stay all action in the Georgia lawsuit, pending resolution of the New York lawsuit and the FAA action. On October 29, 2018, XpresSpa’s Motion to Stay was denied. Prior to resolution of the Motion to Stay, Cordial filed a Motion for Temporary Restraining Order (“TRO Motion”), seeking to enjoin the defendants and specifically XpresSpa, from, among other things, distributing any cash flow, net profits, or management fees, or otherwise expending resources beyond necessary operating expenses. XpresSpa filed an opposition and, in a decision entered December 26, 2018, the Court denied Cordial’s TRO Motion entirely. Defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss the Complaint in its entirety on November 20, 2018.

A Director’s Determination was issued by the FAA in connection with the Part 16 Complaint (“Part 16 Proceeding”) filed by Cordial against the City of Atlanta (“City”) in 2017 (“Director’s Determination”). The Company and Cordial were not parties to the FAA action, and had no opportunity to present evidence or otherwise be heard in such action. The Director’s Determination concluded that the City was not in compliance with certain Federal obligations concerning the federal government’s ACDBE program, including relating to the City’s oversight of the Joint Venture Operating Agreement between the Company and Cordial, Cordial’s termination, and Cordial’s retaliation and harassment claims, and the City was ordered to achieve compliance in accordance with the Director’s Determination. The Director’s Determination does not constitute a Final Agency Decision and it is not subject to judicial review, pursuant to 14 CFR § 16.247(b)(2). Because the Company is not a party to the Part 16 Proceeding, the Company would not be considered “a party adversely affected by the Director’s Determination” with a right of appeal to the FAA Assistant Administrator for Civil Rights.

On August 7, 2019, the Company filed a response, advising the U.S. District Court that: (i) the Company is not party to the FAA proceeding and therefore had no opportunity to present evidence or otherwise be heard in such action; (ii) as non-party, the Company is not bound by the Director’s Determination; and (iii) the FAA cannot dictate the interpretation or enforceability of the contract between Cordial and the Company, which is the subject of the U.S. District Court action initiated by Cordial and the New York State Court action initiated by the Company.

On August 16, 2019, the Court entered an Order granting, in part, the Company’s Motion to Dismiss. The Court dismissed all federal claims alleged in the Complaint against all Defendants, declined to exercise supplemental jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c) over the remaining state law claims alleged in the Complaint, and remanded the case to the Superior Court of Fulton County. Plaintiffs filed an appeal of the federal court’s decision to the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals, and the case was docketed on October 15, 2019.

In response to the numerous complaints it received from Cordial, the City of Atlanta required the parties to engage in mediation. On November 22, 2019, a Mutual Release and Settlement Agreement (the "Settlement Agreement") and a Confidential Payment Agreement (the "Payment Agreement") have been executed by the applicable parties. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement, all pending litigation was dismissed. Also, pursuant to the Settlement Agreement terms, the City agreed to approve new five-year

leases for the Company and Cordial to operate as joint venture partners for spas located on Concourse A and Concourse C of the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport ("together, "Leases"). The City has approved the new Leases, and the Leases have been executed by the Company and the City. The parties are in the process of negotiating and completing an operating agreement. Such negotiations have been deferred during the XpresSpa spa location shutdowns due to the pandemic. Pursuant to the Payment Agreement, the Company has recorded an expense, made payments and accrued the balance of the amounts due thereunder, and has included that balance in Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities.

In re Chen et al.

In March 2015, four former XpresSpa employees who worked at XpresSpa locations in John F. Kennedy International Airport and LaGuardia Airport filed a putative class and collective action wage-hour litigation in the United States District Court, Eastern District of New York. In re Chen et al., CV 15-1347 (E.D.N.Y.). Plaintiffs claim that they and other spa technicians around the country were misclassified as exempt commissioned salespersons under Section 7(i) of the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”). Plaintiffs also assert class claims for unpaid overtime on behalf of New York spa technicians under the New York Labor Law, and discriminatory employment practices under New York State and City laws. On July 1, 2015, the plaintiffs moved to have the court authorize notice of the FLSA misclassification claim sent to all employees in the spa technician job classification at XpresSpa locations around the country in the last three years. Defendants opposed the motion. On February 16, 2016, the Magistrate Judge assigned to the case issued a Report & Recommendation, recommending that the District Court Judge grant the plaintiffs’ motion. On March 1, 2016, the defendants filed Opposition to the Magistrate Judge’s Report & Recommendation, arguing that the District Court Judge should reject the Magistrate Judge’s findings. On September 23, 2016, the court ruled in favor of the plaintiffs and conditionally certified the class. The parties held a mediation on February 28, 2017 and reached an agreement on a settlement in principle. On September 6, 2017, the parties entered into a settlement agreement. On September 15, 2017, the parties filed a motion for settlement approval with the Court. XpresSpa subsequently paid the agreed-upon settlement amount to the settlement claims administrator to be held in escrow pending a fairness hearing and final approval by the Court. On March 30, 2018, the Court entered a Memorandum and Order denying the motion without prejudice to renewal due to questions and concerns the Court had about certain settlement terms. On April 24, 2018, the parties jointly submitted a supplemental letter to the Court advocating for the fairness and adequacy of the settlement and appeared in Court on April 25, 2018 for a hearing to discuss the settlement terms in greater detail with the assigned Magistrate Judge. At the conclusion of the hearing, the Court still had questions about the adequacy and fairness of the settlement terms, and the Judge asked that the parties jointly submit additional information to the Court addressing the open issues. The parties submitted such information to the Court on May 18, 2018.

On August 21, 2019, the Court issued an Order denying the parties’ motion for preliminary approval of the revised settlement, as the Court still had concerns about several of the settlement terms. At the December 6, 2019 status conference with the Court, the Court reiterated its denial of preliminary approval of the proposed settlement agreement. The Court instructed a notice of pendency to be disseminated to putative collective members. Notice was sent out in early February 2020 and approximately 415 individuals have joined the case. On June 6, 2020, the Company participated in a status conference with the Court, and the parties discussed the possibility of entering into a new settlement agreement that addresses the Court’s concerns. On or about August 5, 2020, the parties entered into settlement agreements and sought a preliminary approval order from the Court. On March 30, 2021, the Court issued an Order conditionally granting the motion for preliminary approval subject to resolution of certain issues pertaining to administration of the settlement. On April 6, 2021, Plaintiffs’ counsel wrote to the Court regarding their proposed resolution on such issues. Once the Court acts on this application the Company anticipates that notice of the settlement will be sent to the class members within approximately 30 days.

Kainz v. FORM Holdings Corp. et al.

On March 20, 2019, a second suit was commenced in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against FORM, seven of its directors and former directors, as well as a managing director of Mistral Equity Partners (“Mistral”). The individual plaintiff, a shareholder of XpresSpa Holdings, LLC at the time of the merger with FORM in December 2016, alleges that the defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by making false statements concerning, inter alia, the merger and the independence of FORM’s board of directors, violated Section 12(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, breached the merger agreement by making false and misleading statements

Table of Contents

concerning the merger and fraudulently induced the plaintiff into signing the joinder agreement related to the merger. On May 8, 2019, the Company and its directors and the managing director of Mistral filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. On June 5, 2019, plaintiffs opposed the motion and filed a cross-motion for a partial stay. Defendants’ motion to dismiss was fully briefed as of June 19, 2019.

On November 13, 2019, the matter was dismissed in its entirety. On December 12, 2019, plaintiff filed a motion for reconsideration to vacate the order and judgment, dismissing the action, and for leave to amend the complaint. The motion was fully briefed as of February 6, 2020. On April 1, 2020, the Court denied plaintiff’s motion in full. On April 10, 2020, plaintiff filed a notice of appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. On June 1, 2020 plaintiff filed his appellate brief. On June 16, 2020, the Second Circuit entered the parties’ non-dispositive stipulation, dismissing certain defendant-appellees, including the Company. On July 6, 2020, the remaining defendants filed their opposition brief. On July 27, 2020, the plaintiff filed their reply brief. On July 28, 2020, the Second Circuit marked plaintiff’s reply brief as defective because it was filed a week late. Subsequently, plaintiff has moved to request permission to file a late reply brief. On January 11, 2021, the judgment of the Court was affirmed by the Second Circuit court.

Route1

On or about May 23, 2018, Route1 Inc., Route1 Security Corporation (together, “Route1”) and Group Mobile Int’l, LLC (“Group Mobile”) commenced a legal proceeding against the Company in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice.

Route1 and Group Mobile sought damages of $567,000 in relation to alleged breaches of a Membership Purchase Agreement entered into between Route1 and the Company on or about March 7, 2018, pursuant to which Route1 acquired the Company’s 100% membership interest in Group Mobile. The Company counterclaimed against the Plaintiffs for amounts owed to the Company in relation to the sale of Excluded Inventory (as defined in the Membership Purchase Agreement) and sought damages thereon. The Company delivered a draft amended counterclaim to the Plaintiffs on or around November 2019 seeking, among other things, damages. The Company sought Plaintiffs’ consent to amend its counterclaim. Examinations for discovery were scheduled to take place in Toronto, Canada in June 2020.

The action settled at mediation on or about September 17, 2020. The parties agreed to dismiss the claim and the counterclaim, subject to XpresSpa’s right to commence an application to seek rectification of certain shares and warrants that were issued in connection with the Membership Purchase Agreement. On September 21, 2020, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice entered an Order dismissing, without costs, the action and counterclaim. XpresSpa was granted the Order seeking the rectification of the shares and warrant and that matter was completed in March 2021.

Rodger Jenkins and Gregory Jones v. XpresSpa Group, Inc.

In March 2019, Rodger Jenkins and Gregory Jones filed a lawsuit against the Company in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The lawsuit alleges breach of contract of the stock purchase agreement related to the Company’s acquisition of Excalibur Integrated Systems, Inc. and seeks specific performance, compensatory damages and other fees, expenses, and costs. When this action was first commenced, the plaintiffs had demanded cash or stock in the sum of $750. On or about January 3, 2020, the court granted the plaintiffs’ motion to amend their pleading to increase their total demand to $1,500.

On December 11, 2020, the court issued its decision and order on the parties’ respective motions for summary judgment in which the court: (a) awarded plaintiffs damages in the sum of $750, plus prejudgment interest; (b) granted that portion of the Company’s motion dismissing Jenkins’s claim for $600 based on his having executed a written waiver of his right to receive that sum; and (c) denied both sides’ motions with respect to Jones’s claim to recover $150 and directed Jones’s claim to be tried. The court has stated that the trial on the remaining portion of Jones’s claim will occur in May 2021. We remain confident in the Company’s defenses to the remaining portion of Jones’s claim. We further believe that the Company has meritorious arguments with respect to the claims already decided against the Company, and, accordingly, the Company plans to appeal all unfavorable rulings following the trial of Jones’s remaining claim.

Kyle Collins v. Spa Products Import & Distribution Co., LLC et al

This is a combined class action and California Private Attorney’s General Act (“PAGA”) action. Plaintiff seeks to recover wages, penalties and PAGA penalties for claims for (1) failure to provide meal periods, (2) failure to provide rest breaks, (3) failure to pay overtime, (4) inaccurate wage statements, (5) waiting time penalties, and (6) PAGA penalties of $100 per employee per pay period per violation. There are approximately 240 current and former employees in the litigation class. The parties agreed to mediation on May 26, 2020, however, due to COVID-19 the parties subsequently stayed all proceedings. The mediation session occurred on March 18, 2021, and the parties reached a settlement in principle. The parties are currently in the process of preparing/finalizing settlement papers.

In addition to those matters specifically set forth herein, the Company and its subsidiaries are involved in various other claims and legal actions that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these actions will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, liquidity, or capital resources. However, a significant increase in the number of these claims, or one or more successful claims under which the Company incurs greater liabilities than the Company currently anticipates, could materially adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

In the event that an action is brought against the Company or one of its subsidiaries, the Company will investigate the allegation and vigorously defend itself.

Leases

XpresSpa is contingently liable to a surety company under certain general indemnity agreements required by various airports relating to its lease agreements. XpresSpa agrees to indemnify the surety for any payments made on contracts of suretyship, guaranty, or indemnity. The Company believes that all contingent liabilities will be satisfied by its performance under the specified lease agreements.

Overview

Through XpresSpa Group’s XpresTest, Inc. subsidiary (“XpresTest”), we launched XpresCheck™ Wellness Centers, also in airports. XpresCheck offers COVID-19 and other medical diagnostic testing services to the traveling public, as well as airline, airport and concessionaire employees, and TSA and U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents. XpresTest has entered into managed services agreements (“MSAs”) with professional medical services companies that provide health care services to patients. The medical services companies pay XpresTest a monthly fee to operate in the XpresCheck Wellness Centers. Under the terms of the MSAs, we provide office space, equipment, supplies, non-licensed staff, and management services in return for a management fee.

Furthermore, XpresSpa Group is developing a travel health and wellness brand that is positioned for a post-pandemic world. We anticipate delivering on-demand access to integrated healthcare through technology and personalized services, while leveraging XpresSpa’s historic travel wellness experience and XpresTest’s healthcare expertise under the XpresCheck brand. We see this concept evolution as an opportunity in a new niche industry where XpresSpa Group can leverage technology in addition to its existing real estate and airport experience, providing travelers with peace of mind and access to integrated care. Over the long-term, we envision that digital channels will provide growth opportunities beyond our airport locations, achieved through subscription-based services that provide care and tools supporting travel health and wellness. Furthermore, we anticipate offering upstream content that can be monetized through affiliate revenue as well as curated retail through ecommerce.

COVID-19 Update

In March 2020, we temporarily closed all global XpresSpa locations due to the categorization by local jurisdictions of the spa locations as “non-essential services.” Substantially all of our XpresSpa locations remain closed. We intend to reopen

Table of Contents

XpresSpa spa locations on a location-by-location basis and resume normal operations at such selected locations once restrictions are lifted and airport traffic returns to sufficient levels to support operations at a unit level.

Since the time of the temporary closure of our XpresSpa locations, we successfully launched our XpresCheck™ Wellness Centers, offering such testing services, as described above. Also, we continue to evaluate alternative testing protocols and work in partnership with airlines for safe travels.

While management has used all currently available information in assessing our business prospects, the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and our XpresCheck™ Wellness Centers on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows remains uncertain. The success or failure of our XpresCheck™ Wellness Centers could also have a material effect on our business.

Recent Developments

XpresCheck™ Wellness Centers

Through our XpresCheck™ Wellness Centers and under the terms of MSAs with physicians’ practices, we offer diagnostic testing services. We currently have 13 such clinics in 11 airports across 10 states. Since December 31, 2020, we announced the opening of the following XpresCheck™ Wellness Centers to provide diagnostic COVID-19 testing:

On January 12, 2021, we opened our second XpresCheck™ Wellness Center at Boston’s Logan International Airport. It contains four separate testing rooms to provide diagnostic COVID-19 testing.

On January 20, 2021, we announced the opening of an XpresCheck™ Wellness Center at Salt Lake City International Airport. It contains four separate testing rooms to provide diagnostic COVID-19 testing.

On February 16, 2021, we announced the opening of our second XpresCheck testing facility at Newark Liberty International Airport. It contains four separate testing rooms to provide diagnostic COVID-19 testing.

On March 8, 2021, we announced the opening of an XpresCheck™ Wellness Center at Houston George Bush Intercontinental Airport. It contains four separate testing rooms to provide diagnostic COVID-19 testing.

On March 15, 2021, we announced the opening of XpresCheck™ Wellness Centers at Dulles International and Reagan National Airports in Virginia, containing nine and four separate testing rooms, respectively, to provide diagnostic COVID-19 testing.

On April 8, 2021, we announced the opening of an XpresCheck™ Wellness Center at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. It contains eight separate testing rooms to provide diagnostic COVID-19 testing.

On April 21, 2021, we announced the opening of an XpresCheck™ Wellness Center at San Francisco International Airport. It contains nine separate testing rooms to provide diagnostic COVID-19 testing.

Airport Rent Concessions

We have received rent concessions from landlords on a majority of our XpresSpa leases, allowing for the relief of minimum guaranteed payments in exchange for percentage-of-revenue rent or providing relief from rent through payment deferrals. Currently, the periods of relief from these payments range from three to nineteen months and began in March 2020. We received minimum guaranteed payment concession of approximately $472 and $75 in the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, respectively, and $2,504 in the twelve months ended March 31, 2021. We expect to realize additional rent concessions while our XpresSpa spas remain closed.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure of financial performance that is not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP but is a measurement used by management to assess the trends in our business. In evaluating our performance as measured by Adjusted EBITDA, we recognize and consider the limitations of this measurement.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, non-cash charges, and stock-based compensation expense.

We consider Adjusted EBITDA to be an important indicator for the performance of our operating business, but it is not a measure of performance or liquidity calculated in accordance with GAAP. We have included this non-GAAP financial measure because management utilizes this information for assessing our performance and liquidity, and as an indicator of our ability to make capital expenditures and finance working capital requirements. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a measurement that is commonly used by analysts and some investors in evaluating the performance and liquidity of growth companies such as ours.

In particular, we believe that it is useful for analysts and investors to understand that Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain transactions not related to our core cash operating activities, which are primarily related to our XpresCheck Wellness Centers. We believe that excluding these transactions allows investors to meaningfully analyze the performance of our core cash operations.

Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or as an alternative to operating income or as an indicator of operating performance or any other measure of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our obligations for the payment of income taxes, interest expense, or other obligations such as capital expenditures.

Results of Operations

Revenue

We recognize revenue from the sale of XpresSpa services when they are rendered at our stores and from the sale of products at the time goods are purchased at our stores or online (usually by credit card), net of discounts and applicable sales taxes. Substantially all of our spa locations remain closed and therefore generate little revenue.

We have entered into managed services agreements with professional medical services companies that provide healthcare services to patients in our XpresCheck™ Wellness Centers. The medical services companies will pay XpresTest a monthly management fee to operate in the XpresCheck™ Wellness Centers. As a result of uncertainties around the cash flows of the XpresCheck™ Wellness Centers during 2020, the Company concluded that the collectability criteria to qualify as a

Table of Contents

contract under ASC 606 was not met, and no revenue associated with the monthly management fee was recognized for the year ending December 31, 2020 from the managed services agreements. Based on the reassessment performed for the three months ending March 31, 2021, the Company recognized $8,178 of revenue, including revenue of $3,186 related to 2020, for new and existing managed services agreements which meet the collectability criteria.

Cost of sales

Cost of sales for our XpresSpa segment consists of store-level costs. Store-level costs include all costs that are directly attributable to the store operations, primarily payroll and related benefit costs for store personnel, occupancy costs and cost of products sold. Cost of sales of our XpresTest segment include costs related to the XpresCheck™ business, and consists of expenses directly attributable to the clinic operations under the terms of the MSAs, primarily payroll and related benefit costs for personnel, occupancy costs and cost of supplies used to administer the diagnostic COVID-19 tests.

General and administrative

General and administrative expenses include management and administrative personnel, overhead and occupancy costs, insurance and various professional fees, as well as stock-based compensation for directors, management and administrative personnel.

Three-month period ended March 31, 2021 compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 2020

Revenue


	Three months ended March 31,
	2021		2020		Inc/(Dec)
Total revenue	$	8,512	$	7,718	$	794

The increase in revenue was almost entirely due to the rapid growth of the XpresTest segment (while the majority of XpresSpa locations remain closed) with the addition of five locations during Q1 2021, and the ability to recognize $3,186 of catch-up revenue associated with 2020 XpresTest segment on underlying MSAs meeting the collectability criteria during Q1 2021.

Cost of sales


	Three months ended March 31,
	2021		2020		Inc/(Dec)
Cost of sales	$	4,159	$	7,168	$	(3,009)

The decrease in cost of sales was due to the decrease in variable costs associated with the decline in XpresSpa revenues and decreases in occupancy costs as a result of rent concessions received from airports. These costs were partially offset by cost of sales of $2,679, incurred in the XpresCheck™ Wellness Centers pursuant to the XpresTest managed services agreements.

Depreciation and amortization


	Three months ended March 31,
	2021		2020		Inc/(Dec)
Depreciation and amortization	$	744	$	1,265	$	(521)

Table of Contents

The decrease in depreciation and amortization of approximately 41.2% was primarily due to impairments and disposals of assets recorded in 2020 resulting in lower depreciation and amortization of leasehold improvements in the current period. This decrease was partially offset by depreciation and amortization related to the recently opened XpresCheck™ Wellness Centers of $469.

General and administrative


	Three months ended March 31,
	2021		2020		Inc/(Dec)
General and administrative	$	4,508	$	3,233	$	1,275

The increase of approximately 39.4% was primarily due to start-up costs associated with the XpresTest segment and the XpresCheck^TM Wellness Centers as well as additional legal fees related to the resolution of certain XpresSpa litigation matters, offset by reduced variable costs related to the closed XpresSpa locations and the realized benefits of cost cutting and control initiatives instituted throughout 2020, primarily in salaries, occupancy, and professional fees.

Loss on revaluation of warrants and conversion options:


	Three months ended March 31,
	2021		2020		Inc/(Dec)
Loss on revaluation of warrants and conversion options	$	—	$	(5,369)	$	5,369

Loss on revaluation of warrants and conversion options represents the loss resulting from the mark to market adjustments of our derivative liabilities related to convertible notes that were converted into equity in 2020. Therefore, this loss did not recur in Q1 2021. The gain or loss was mainly due to the decrease or increase, respectively, in our stock price at certain fair value measurement dates relative to the conversion price of warrants and convertible debt to Common Stock.

The following is a summary of the transactions included in other non-operating (income) expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash, of $102,649, total current assets of $107,789, total current liabilities of $13,842, and positive working capital of $93,947, compared to a positive working capital of $78,302 as of December 31, 2020.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, holders of our December 2020 Investor Warrants, December 2020 Placement Agent Warrants and December 2020 Placement Agent Tail Fee Warrants exercised warrants for a total of 11,223,529 common shares. We received gross proceeds of approximately $19,161. In accordance with the placement agent agreements with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC and Palladium, we paid cash fees of $2,154 and issued 842,588 warrants to H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC at an exercise price of $2.125 per share and 325,500 warrants to Palladium at an exercise price of $1.70 per share. See Note 8. Stockholders’ Equity to the condensed consolidated financial statements for related discussion.

However, while we have addressed our working capital deficiency and long-term debt, and continue to focus on our overall operating profitability, we expect to incur net losses in the foreseeable future. In addition, the ultimate duration and severity of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic are uncertain at this time, and may result in additional material adverse impacts on our liquidity position and access to capital.

Critical Accounting Estimates

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, as amended, filed with the SEC which includes a description of our critical accounting estimates that involve subjective and complex judgments that could potentially affect reported results. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates as to the methodologies or assumptions we apply under them. We continue to monitor such methodologies and assumptions.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

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

As of March 31, 2021, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Our evaluation as of December 31, 2019 identified a material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which remained unmitigated as of March 31, 2021, as noted below in Report of Management on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Based on our evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2021 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 the SEC’s rules and forms and to provide reasonable assurance that such information 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.. Notwithstanding this conclusion, management believes that the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with GAAP.

Remediation Plan for Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We and our Board treat the controls surrounding, and the integrity of, our financial statements with the utmost priority. Management is committed to the planning and implementation of remediation efforts to address control deficiencies and any other identified areas of risk. These remediation efforts are intended to both address the identified material weakness and to enhance our overall financial control environment. In particular:


	·		we will continue to strengthen our interim and annual financial review controls to function with a sufficient level of precision to detect and correct errors on a timely basis;
	·		we will continue to improve the timeliness of our closing processes with respect to interim and annual periods.

Following identification of this control deficiency, commenced remediation efforts by implementing modifications to better ensure that the Company has appropriate and timely reviews on all financial reporting analysis. The material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting will not be considered remediated until these modifications are implemented, in operation for a sufficient period of time, tested, and concluded by management to be designed and operating effectively. In addition, as we continue to evaluate and work to improve our internal control over financial reporting, management may determine to take additional measures to address control deficiencies or determine to modify our remediation plan. Management will test and evaluate the implementation of these modifications during 2021 to ascertain whether they are designed and operating effectively to provide reasonable assurance that they will prevent or detect a material misstatement in the Company’s financial statements.

The steps we took to address the deficiencies identified included:

•

we hired a permanent Chief Financial Officer in December 2020;

•

we have engaged in efforts to restructure accounting processes and revise organizational structures to enhance accurate accounting and appropriate financial reporting;

•

we have engaged outside service providers to assist with the valuation and recording of key reporting areas such as leases and stock compensation expense;

•

we have implemented additional accounting software to aid in the accounting and financial reporting process;

•

we have contracted an independent consulting firm to assist with the preparation of the Financial Statements and U.S. GAAP accounting research;

•

in March 2021, we hired a seasoned Certified Public Accountant as a permanent Corporate Controller, who also has a Certified Information Systems Auditor accreditation.

We are committed to maintaining a strong internal control environment, and we believe the measures described above will strengthen our internal control over financial reporting and remediate the material weakness we have identified. Our remediation efforts have begun, and we will continue to devote significant time and attention to these remedial efforts. As we continue to evaluate and work to improve our internal control over financial reporting, management may determine to take additional measures to strengthen controls or to modify the remediation plan described above, which may require additional implementation time.

As noted above, we believe that, as a result of management’s in-depth review of its accounting processes, and the additional procedures management has implemented, there are no material inaccuracies or omissions of material fact in this Form 10-Q and, to the best of our knowledge, we believe that the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with GAAP.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Based on our evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of March 31, 2021, due to a material weakness in our internal control over our financial close and reporting process, which was discovered in 2019 still remaining unmitigated. Management continues to conclude that as of March 31, 2021 we still did not have a sufficient complement of corporate personnel with appropriate levels of accounting and controls knowledge and experience commensurate with our financial reporting requirements to appropriately analyze, record and disclose accounting matters completely and accurately. As a result of this evaluation, we extensively used outside consultants who possessed the appropriate levels of accounting and controls knowledge to appropriately analyze, record, and disclose accounting matters completely and accurately.

Other than as set forth in the foregoing paragraph, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
