Risk Change Over Time
- Accounting & Financial Operations - Risk 1User metrics and other estimates are subject to inherent challenges in measurement, and real or perceived inaccuracies in those metrics could harm our business, revenue and financial results.
We intend to regularly review our metrics, including the number of our active users, paying users, and other measures to evaluate growth trends, measure our performance and make strategic decisions. These metrics are calculated using internal company data and have not been validated by an independent third party. While these numbers are based on what we currently believe to be reasonable estimates for the applicable period of measurement, there are inherent challenges in measuring how our FlexTV platform is used across large populations globally. Our metrics calculations may be inaccurate, and we may not be able to identify those inaccuracies. In addition, from time to time, we may implement new methodologies for calculating these metrics, which may result in the metrics changing or decreasing from prior periods or not being comparable to prior periods. If our metrics provide us with incorrect or incomplete information about our users and their behavior, we may make inaccurate conclusions about our business which could harm our business, revenue and financial results.

Risk Factors Full Breakdown - Total Risks 40
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1If we acquire digital assets that are securities, even unintentionally, we may violate the Investment Company Act of 1940 and incur potential third-party liabilities.
As of December 31, 2023, we held approximately $0.6 million in USDT, $0.2 million in USDC, and $7.1 million in ETH. The Company intends to comply with the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") in all respects. To that end, if holdings of cryptocurrencies are determined to constitute investment securities of a kind that subject the Company to registration and reporting under the 1940 Act, the Company will limit its holdings to less than 40% of its assets. Section 3(a)(1)(C) of the 1940 Act defines "investment company" to mean any issuer that is engaged or proposes to engage in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding, or trading in securities, and owns or proposes to acquire investment securities having a value exceeding 40% of the value of such issuer's total assets (exclusive of Government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis. Section 3(a)(2) of the 1940 Act defines "investment securities" to include all securities except (A) Government securities, (B) securities issued by employees' securities companies, and (C) securities issued by majority-owned subsidiaries which (i) are not investment companies and (ii) are not relying on the exception from the definition of investment company in section 3(c)(1) or 3(c)(7) of the 1940 Act. As noted above, the SEC has not stated whether stablecoins such as USDC and USDT and other cryptocurrency such as ETH is an investment security, as defined in the 1940 Act.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2Sales of a significant number of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could depress the market price of our common stock.
On October 7, 2022, we registered 2,397,305 shares of the Company's common stock for resale by selling stockholder. The sales of those shares of common stock in the public market could depress the market price of our common stock and impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We cannot predict the effect that future sales of our common stock would have on the market price of our common stock.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3If we do not continue to satisfy the NYSE American continued listing requirements, our common stock could be delisted.
The listing of our common stock on NYSE American is contingent on our compliance with the NYSE American's conditions for continued listing. Should we fail to meet the NYSE American's continuing listing requirements, we may be subject to delisting by the NYSE America. In the event our common stock is no longer listed for trading on the NYSE American, our trading volume and share price may decrease and we may experience difficulties in raising capital which could materially affect our operations and financial results. Further, delisting from the NYSE American could also have other negative effects, including potential loss of confidence by partners, lenders, suppliers and employees. Finally, delisting could make it harder for us to raise capital and sell securities.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4An active trading market for our common stock may not develop, and you may not be able to easily sell your common stock.
An active trading market for shares of our common stock following our emergence from bankruptcy may never develop or be sustained. If an active trading market does not develop, you may have difficulty selling your shares of common stock or at all. An inactive market may also impair our ability to raise capital by selling our common stock, and it may impair our ability to attract and motivate our employees through equity incentive awards and our ability to acquire other companies by using our common stock as consideration.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5If our common stock becomes subject to the SEC's penny stock rules, broker-dealers may experience difficulty in completing customer transactions, and trading activity in our securities may be adversely affected.
If at any time we have net tangible assets of $5,000,001 or less and our common stock has a market price per share of less than $5.00, transactions in our common stock may be subject to the "penny stock" rules promulgated under the Exchange Act. Under these rules, broker-dealers who recommend such securities to persons other than institutional accredited investors must: - make a special written suitability determination for the purchaser;- receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction prior to sale;- provide the purchaser with risk disclosure documents which identify certain risks associated with investing in "penny stocks" and which describe the market for these "penny stocks" as well as a purchaser's legal remedies; and - obtain a signed and dated acknowledgment from the purchaser demonstrating that the purchaser has actually received the required risk disclosure document before a transaction in a "penny stock" can be completed. If our common stock becomes subject to these rules, broker-dealers may find it difficult to effectuate customer transactions and trading activity in our securities may be adversely affected. As a result, the market price of our common stock may be depressed, and you may find it more difficult to sell our common stock.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 6The trading prices of our common stock could be volatile, which could result in substantial losses to our shareholders and investors.
The trading prices of our common stock could be volatile and could fluctuate widely due to factors beyond our control. This may happen because of broad market and industry factors, like the performance and fluctuation in the market prices or the underperformance or deteriorating financial results of other similarly situated companies that have listed their securities in the U.S. in recent years. The securities of some of these companies have experienced significant volatility including, in some cases, substantial price declines in the trading prices of their securities. In addition, securities markets may from time to time experience significant price and volume fluctuations that are not related to our operating performance, such as the large decline in share prices in the United States and other jurisdictions. In addition to market and industry factors, the price and trading volume for our common stock may be highly volatile for factors specific to our own operations including the following: - variations in our revenue, earnings and cash flow;- announcements of new product and service offerings, investments, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, or capital commitments by us or our competitors;- changes in the performance or market valuation of our company or our competitors;- changes in financial estimates by securities analysts;- changes in the number of our users and customers;- fluctuations in our operating metrics;- failures on our part to realize monetization opportunities as expected;- additions or departures of our key management and personnel;- detrimental negative publicity about us, our competitors or our industry;- market conditions or regulatory developments affecting us or our industry; and - potential litigations or regulatory investigations. Any of these factors may result in large and sudden changes in the trading volume and the price at which our common stock will trade. In the past, shareholders of a public company often brought securities class action suits against the listed company following periods of instability in the market price of that company's securities. If we were involved in a class action suit, it could divert a significant amount of our management's attention and other resources from our business and operations, which could harm our results of operations and require us to incur significant expenses to defend the suit. Any such class action suit, whether or not successful, could harm our reputation and restrict our ability to raise capital in the future. In addition, if a claim is successfully made against us, we may be required to pay significant damages, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 7The ownership of our stock is highly concentrated in our chairman, and we have one controlling stockholder.
As of March 1, 2024, our Mr. Yucheng Hu, our chairman and chief executive officer beneficially owned approximately 15.87% of our outstanding common stock. As a result of his ownership, Mr. Yu is able to significantly influence all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control.
