OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS


MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISOF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

Overview and Outlook

SOS is an emerging blockchain-based and big data-driven marketing solution provider. SOS is also engaged in blockchain and cryptocurrency operations, which currently include cryptocurrency mining and may expand into cryptocurrency security in the future. Since April 2021, we launched a commodities trading business via our subsidiaries SOS International Trading Co. and Weigou International Trading Co Ltd. We facilitate trading of commodities including but not limited to mineral resin, soy bean, wheat, sesame, liquid sulfur and latex.

Our Products and Services

As of June 30, 2023, SOS focuses on four product and service lines including Commodities Trading, Cryptocurrency Mining, Hosting Services and Others. Commodities Trading contributes 90.5% of the total revenue, 0.8% from cryptocurrency mining, 2.9% from Hosting Service and 5.8% from Others, which refers to the legacy business of data mining of remaining contracts. The legacy business was disposed of in November 2022.

Commodities Trading

Since April 2021, we launched our commodities trading business via our subsidiaries including SOS International Trading Co. Ltd. and Weigou International Trading, and we facilitate the trading of commodities including but not limited to mineral resin, soy bean, wheat, sesame, liquid sulfur, petrol coke and latex. We identify suppliers and buyers and generate revenue from the price difference. Revenue is recognized after products have been delivered and title to the goods and risk has been transferred from a seller to a buyer.

Cryptocurrency Mining

We recognize revenue when cryptocurrency is successfully mined from our cryptocurrency-mining pools and also anticipate to rent out hash power to third parties. The value of cryptocurrency is determined based on the market prices of the related cryptocurrencies at the time of receipt. The rental fees of hash power are also determined proportionally based on the market prices of the related cryptocurrencies.

Hosting Services

From January 2022, SOS took the initiative to build a supercomputing center in Wisconsin USA by providing individual & business users a comprehensive experience of cryptocurrency mining capacity and hosting service. Part of the facility was up and running since April 2022 and we recorded a revenue of $0.10 million and $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2023 respectively.

Others


Others refer to the legacy business of data mining of remaining contracts, which run into the current reporting period. The legacy business was disposed of in November 2022 and it was re-classified as discontinued operation in Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Loss for six months ended June 30, 2022 and Statement of Cash Flow as of June 30, 2022.

Components of Our Results of Operation

Revenue

Revenue is derived from providing services to our customers including commodity trading, hosting service and cryptocurrency mining. The legacy business of data-mining segment was disposed of in November 2022, but there are some remaining contracts which run into the current reporting period ended June 30, 2023. Key factors that affect our future revenue growth include our introduction to new lines of services, our penetration in new territories, international expansion and the pandemic’s impact. We recognize revenue to depict the provision of service to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for the service. Revenue is recognized after the service has been rendered or performed, or products have been delivered together with transfer of title from a seller to a buyer.

Operating Costs and Gross Profit

Our major operating costs are purchase costs of power supply, depreciation and amortization from hardware, software for cryptocurrency mining, costs of goods sold & warehouse rental for the commodities trading business.

We calculate our gross profit as revenue less operating costs. Our gross profit has been and, we expect, will continue to be affected by a variety of factors, primarily our product line mix, volume sold, and unit fees that we can charge to the customer, market price fluctuation and local government policy towards cryptocurrency.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses include management and office personnel compensation and bonuses, stock compensation, corporate level information technology related costs, rent, travel, professional service fees, insurance and general corporate expenses. We expect general and administrative expenses to continue to increase in absolute dollars as we expand our commercial infrastructure to both drive and support our planned growth in revenue and support the additional costs associated with being a public company such as costs & expenses related to direct public offering and legal fees to defend us against class actions.

2

Income Tax

Our income tax provision consists of an estimate of central and provincial income taxes based on enacted central and provincial tax rates, as adjusted for allowable credits, deductions and uncertain tax positions. SOS Information Technology Co., Ltd with significant insurance marketing service is a qualified high-tech enterprise and as such can enjoys a corporate income tax concession rate of 15%, all other domestic legal entities have 25% corporate tax rate. Depending on jurisdictions, offshore legal entities have various tax rate.

Interim Financial Results from Operations

Six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to June 30, 2022


Revenue

As of June 30, 2023, SOS focuses on four product and service lines including Commodities Trading, Cryptocurrency Mining, Hosting Services and Others. Commodities Trading contributes 90.5% of the total revenue, 0.8% from cryptocurrency mining, 2.9% from Hosting Service and 5.8% from Others, (i.e. legacy data mining which was disposed of in November 2022).

Net revenue was $41.8 million, down 50.7% from $84.8 million period-on-period. The decline in revenues can be primarily attributed to an economic downturn within China and disposal of our data mining operations. We are experiencing weak demand from small businesses and grain & food processing factories - both key markets for our commodity products. Internationally, we are witnessing a surge in commodity and energy prices, consequently commodity trading dropped 55.2% from $84.4 million the same period of last year to $37.8 million for six months ended June 30, 2023. Additionally, in November 2022, our primary data-mining service line was disposed of for regulatory reasons, resulting in a reduced operational footprint and a corresponding decrease in revenue. However, revenue from hosting service in the US jumped up 12 times from $0.10 million to $1.2 million period-on-period. As the Company continues to expand its business development, US hosting service is seeing result and growth is underway.

We began generating revenue from cryptocurrency mining from the end of February 2021. We were allocated 132.1 units of BTC and 1,853.1 units of ETH in Q2 of 2021 from our mining pools as compared to 42.2 units of BTC and 916.9 units of ETH in Q1 of 2021. During the first half of 2022, we were still relocating and building our cryptocurrency mining facilities in the US. We recorded 179.32 units of ETH output and generated no BTC revenue for the period of six month ended June 30, 2022. We generated 11.48 units of BTC and NIL unit of ETH output six months ended June 30, 2023. As BTC price dropped further during the reporting period, we found that costs of per unit input exceeded output per unit, we shut down some of the miners to stop operation temporarily, then total output decreased immediately.

Operating Costs and Expenses

Operating costs were $41.7 million, down 49.2% period-on-period from $82.2 million in the first half of 2022 which is consistent with our revenue decline and disposal of the legacy business of data-mining business segment. Operating costs comprised of depreciation & amortization of hardware & software, electricity power and depreciation from property equipment for cryptocurrency mining as well as costs of goods sold & warehouse rental for commodity trading.

4

Selling Expenses

Selling expenses mainly relate to our commodity business and include freight-out expenses, custom clearing agency fee, warehouse rental expense, promotional expense, sales commission and payroll expenses to sales team. Selling expenses decreased to $1.1 million from $3.1 million for the same period last year. The decrease is largely driven by the corresponding reduction of our commodity business footprint.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses were $9.4 million, 39.7% up period-on-period from $6.7 million in the first half of 2022. The increase in general and administrative expenses was mainly associated with professional fees and salaries &benefits. Share-based compensation decreased 85% from $14.5 million to $2.1 million. Senior management continues to be compensated primarily via share-based compensation quarterly.

Operating Loss

GAAP net loss was $10.7 million, compared to a net loss of $14.3 million in the first half of 2022, representing a decrease of 25.1%. We had a gross margin of 0.2%, a significant drop from the previous year’s 9.3%. This was largely driven by the appreciation of the US dollar against the CNY and the commodity price hike, which escalated our cost of goods sold, thereby eroding gross margin.

Income Tax

The Company paid $0.65 million of corporate income tax for the current period as compared to $1.1 million last year of the same period.

GAAP net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders was $10.7 million, as compared to a net loss of $14.3 million in the prior year period.

GAAP Basic EPS was $(0.0031) per share, as compared to $(0.0046) per share in the prior year period.
