Recent Developments 

Sale of Infobird International Limited 

On August 11, 2023, the Company entered into an equity transfer agreement (the “Agreement”) with CRservices Limited (“CRservices”), a Mahé Island limited company and a shareholder of the Company, pursuant to which, the Company agreed to sell all the issued shares of Infobird International Limited, a limited company incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Infobird HK”), for a consideration of HK$10,000 (the transaction, the “Sale”). Infobird HK owns 100% of the equity interests of Infobird Digital Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd. (“WFOE”), which, in turn, controls Beijing Infobird Software Co., Ltd., the variable interest entity (the “VIE”) and its subsidiaries, through a series of contractual arrangements in the People’s Republic of China (“China”). Infobird HK, through the VIE and its subsidiaries, is engaged in the software-as-a-service, or SaaS business, providing AI-powered, or artificial intelligence enabled, customer engagement solutions in China, held substantially all of the assets of the Company and generated substantially all of the revenues of the Company prior to the Sale. Pursuant to the Agreement, upon execution of the Agreement, the Company will no longer be involved in the business operation of Infobird HK and relinquish all rights and interests in the allocation of Infobird HK’s property and profits. The sale was completed on the same day. Upon completion, the Company ceased to have any business operation in mainland China. As previously announced, in July 2023, the Company formed Inforbird Technologies Limited, a Hong Kong corporation and wholly owned subsidiary, through which the Company commenced operations in Hong Kong. As of the date of this report, the Company has moved its key technical staff in the Beijing office to Hong Kong office and has recruited additional local staff in Hong Kong to support its operations in Hong Kong. The Company is working to develop its client base in Hong Kong and other parts of Southeast Asia, and Europe. The Company plans to proactively expand its presence in the global market and cater to the diverse needs of its customers worldwide by establishing additional offices in other key locations in Southeast Asia and Europe. The Company also plans to increase its market share in the finance, real estate and hotel management and other SaaS scenarios with enhanced sales and marketing efforts.

COVID-19 Update

The outbreak of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) has spread rapidly to many parts of the world since early 2020. The resurgence of the Omicron variant has resulted in quarantines requirement, travel restrictions, and the temporary closure of stores and business facilities in many parts of China in 2022.

To date, COVID-19 has had certain adverse impacts on our operations and revenue growth. Our customers were negatively impacted by COVID-19, which reduced their budgets for customer services in 2022 and beyond. China has significantly eased its COVID-19 control measures. In early December 2022, China substantially reduced the frequency of PCR testing and removed the designation of high-risk areas for lockdown and various travel restrictions. On January 8, 2023, China downgraded the management of COVID-19 from Class A to Class B; this change in the classification of the illness means, among other things, that infected cases will no longer be quarantined, their close contacts will no longer be tracked, large scale PRC testing will no longer be conducted, and disease control measures targeting incoming international travelers and imported cargo will be lifted. As affected by such policy changes, many of our staff, as well as staff of our customers and vendors were infected with COVID-19 in December 2022 and January 2023, which negatively affected our business performance during such periods.

Results of Operations 

 

The tables in the following discussion summarize our consolidated statements of operations for the periods indicated. This information should be read together with our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this press release. The operating results in any period are not necessarily of the results that may be expected for any future period.

Revenues

Total revenues were nil both for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, because during these period, all of revenues were collected in the disposed companies. 

Cost of Revenues 

Total cost of revenues was nil both for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, because during these period, all of cost of revenues was collected in the disposed companies.

Gross Profit 

Our gross profit was nil both for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, because during these period, the revenues and cost of revenues were collected in the disposed companies.

Operating Expenses

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, we incurred total operating expenses of approximately $0.9million, an increase in approximately $0.4 million, or 102%, as compared to total operating expenses of approximately $0.4 million during the six-month period ended June 30, 2022.

General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $0.4 million, or 102%, to approximately $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from approximately $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was mainly due to the lawyer and other third parties provide more services on the sec fillings and consulting of our sales of Infobird International Limited. 

Other income (expense), net

Total other income, net was approximately $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, and total other expense, net was approximately $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Other income and expense mainly consists of foreign exchange gains and losses. 

(Benefit of) provision for income taxes

We recorded income tax of nil for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Net loss from continuing operations 

Our net loss from continuing operations was approximately $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, decreased by 0.1 million, or 10%, from net loss from continuing operations of approximately $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Such change was the result of the combination of the changes as discussed above.

 

 

Net loss from discontinued operations

In August 2023, we discontinued our all business in Mainland China. As a result, the results of operations for our business in Mainland China are reported as discontinued operations under the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification 205. Our net loss from discontinued operations decreased by $2.8 million, or 41% , to a net loss of approximately $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, from a net loss of approximately $6.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease in loss from discontinued operations was mainly due to the decline in scale of operations from the second half year of 2022.

Net loss 

Our net loss decreased by approximately $2.9 million, or 37%, to approximately $4.9 million net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2023, from approximately $7.8 million net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Such change was primarily due to the decrease of staff expense paid in the discontinued operation entities. 

Net loss attributable to Infobird Co., Ltd

After deducting non-controlling interests of approximately $0.3 million, net loss attributable to our holding company Infobird Co. Ltd. decreased from approximately $7.8 million net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to approximately $4.6 million net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Basic and diluted loss per share

Basic and diluted loss per share was $1.03 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to basic and diluted loss per share of $7.61 for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Cash equivalents and short-term investments

As of June 30, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents as well as short-term investments in an aggregate amount of approximately $0.0 million, compared to approximately $6.9 million as of December 31, 2022. 

 Liquidity and Capital Resources

We financed our operations through internally generated cash, short-term loans and payable from related parties and equity financing. As of June 30, 2023 we had approximately $6.8 million from escrow account. Our working capital was approximately $8.6 million at June 30, 2023. We will not require any fund over the next twelve months upon issuance of this unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements to operate at its current level, either from operating activities or funding.

 

If we are unable to realize its assets within the normal operating cycle of a twelve (12) month period, we may have to consider supplementing its available sources of funds through the following sources:

 

other available sources of financing from PRC banks and other financial institutions;
financial support from the Company’s related parties and shareholders; and
issuance of convertible debt.

 

Based on the above considerations, our management is of the opinion that it has sufficient funds to meet our working capital requirements and debt obligations as they become due over the next twelve (12) months.

 

The following summarizes the key components of our cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2023:
