Organization and Principal Activities Organization and Principal Activities
Ideanomics, Inc. (Nasdaq: IDEX) is a Nevada corporation that primarily operates in Asia, Europe and the United States through its subsidiaries. Unless the context otherwise requires, the use of the terms "we," "us," "our" and the “Company” in these notes to consolidated financial statements refers to Ideanomics, its consolidated subsidiaries.
The Company’s chief operating decision maker has been identified as the chief executive officer, who reviews consolidated results when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance of the Company. Therefore, the Company operates in one segment with two business units, Ideanomics Mobility and Ideanomics Capital. Ideanomics China is a subsidiary which holds the Company’s China based vehicle operations.
Ideanomics Mobility’s mission is to use EVs and EV battery sales and financing to attract commercial fleet operators that will generate large scale demand for energy, energy storage systems, and energy management contracts. Ideanomics Mobility operates as an end-to-end solutions provider for the procurement, financing, charging and energy management needs for fleet operators of commercial EVs.
Ideanomics Capital is the Company's fintech business unit, which focuses on leveraging technology and innovation to improve efficiency, transparency, and profitability for the financial services industry.

Effects of COVID-19

As of the period covered by this report, there has been a trend in many parts of the world of increasing availability and administration of vaccines against COVID-19, as well as an easing of restrictions on social, business, travel and government activities and functions. On the other hand, infection rates and regulations continue to fluctuate in various regions and there are ongoing global impacts resulting from the pandemic, including challenges and increases in costs for logistics and supply chains, such as increased port congestion, intermittent supplier delays, labor shortages, and a shortfall of semiconductor supply.

We have been experiencing varying levels of inflation resulting in part from various supply chain disruptions, increased shipping and transportation costs, increased raw material and labor costs and other disruptions caused by the COVID‐19 pandemic and general global economic conditions. The inflationary impact on our cost structure has contributed to adjustments in our product pricing, despite a continued focus on reducing our manufacturing costs where possible.

The Company does not anticipate significant adverse effects on its operations’ revenue as compared to its business plan in the near- or mid-term, although the future effects of COVID-19 may result in regional restrictive measures which may constrain the Company’s operations, and supply chain shortages of various materials may have a negative effect on our EV sales or production capacity in the longer-term. The Company's Tree Technologies business, which focuses on the sale of motorbikes in the ASEAN region, is experiencing disruption in its operations as a result the continued lockdowns in the region, which have adversely impacted its ability to fulfill committed orders.
The Company continues to monitor the overall situation with COVID-19 and its effects on local, regional and global economies.
Liquidity and Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The going concern basis of presentation assumes that the Company will continue in operation one year after the date these financial statements are issued and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Pursuant to the requirements of the ASC 205, management must evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the date these financial statements are issued.

This evaluation does not take into consideration the potential mitigating effect of management’s plans that have not been fully implemented or are not within control of the Company as of the date the financial statements are issued. When substantial doubt exists under this methodology, management evaluates whether the mitigating effect of its plans sufficiently alleviates substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The mitigating effect of management’s plans, however, is only considered if both (1) it is probable that the plans will be effectively implemented within one year after the
date that the financial statements are issued, and (2) it is probable that the plans, when implemented, will mitigate the relevant conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $21.9 million, of which $15.5 million is held in China and is subject to local foreign exchange regulations in that country and additionally two subsidiaries have required capital or liquidity requirements of $2.2 million. The company has initiated a formal process to repatriate approximately $7.0 million in cash funds located in China. This process is not subject to local foreign exchange regulations rather is subject to the other administrative regulatory applications and approvals. The Company also had accounts payable and accrued expenses of $39.5 million, other current liabilities of $13.7 million, current contingent consideration of $0.9 million, lease payments due within the next twelve months of $4.1 million, and payments of short-term and long-term debt due within the next twelve months of $5.9 million. The Company had a net loss of $282.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, and an accumulated deficit of $866.5 million.

The Company believes that its current level of cash and cash equivalents are not sufficient to fund continuing operations, including VIA, which acquisition was closed by the company on January 31, 2023. The Company will need to bring in new capital to support its growth and, as evidenced from its successful capital raising activities in 2020 and 2021, believes it has the ability to continue to do so. However, there can be no assurance that this will occur.

The Company has various vehicles through which it could raise a limited amount of equity funding, however, these are subject to market conditions which are not within management’s control. As our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was not filed timely, we will not be Form S-3 eligible until August 9, 2023, which could make fund raising more difficult or more expensive. Management continues to seek to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, mezzanine or debt securities. As we seek additional sources of financing, there can be no assurance that such financing would be available to us on favorable terms or at all. Our ability to obtain additional financing in the debt and equity capital markets is subject to several factors, including market and economic conditions, our performance and investor sentiment with respect to us and our business and industry. These factors individually and collectively raise doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, our independent auditors have included in their report on our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, an paragraph related to the existence of substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company has experienced greater net losses and negative cash flows from operating and investing activities in the year ended December 31, 2022, consistent with its business plan for ongoing activities and planned acquisitions. As of the date of the filing of this Form 10-K, securing additional financing is in progress, and as such management has limited the extent to which it is taking actions to delay, scale back, or abandon future expenditures. As such, management’s actions to preserve an adequate level of liquidity for a period extending twelve months from the date of the filing of this Form 10-K are no longer sufficient on their own without additional financing, to mitigate the conditions raising substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. We currently do not have adequate cash to meet our short or long-term needs. In the event additional capital is raised, it may have a dilutive effect on our existing stockholders.

The Company’s ability to raise capital is critical. The company has raised approximately $43 million, since the beginning of the fourth quarter 2022, including the sale of preferred shares, issuance of a convertible note, the sale of financial assets and the sale of shares under the SEPA. In the next 90 days, we anticipate we will utilize the remainder of the 24.0 million shares available under the SEPA ($2.5 million). In addition, the company is working to close on multiple term sheets, which if successful, could bring in excess of $50 million in proceeds to the company.
Although management continues to use these facilities and other opportunities to raise additional capital through a combination of debt financing, other non-dilutive financing and/or equity financing to supplement the Company’s capitalization and liquidity, management cannot conclude as of the date of this filing that its plans are probable of being successfully implemented.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

We believe substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months from the date of issuance of our financial statements.

Restructuring of PRC Operations
On September 12, 2022, the Board authorized management to pursue a plan to restructure the current electric vehicle resale activities in China. While the current operational activities will decline in scale over the next year, the company will continue to source materials from Chinese suppliers through its procurement team in China and evaluate opportunities for the sale of current Ideanomics' subsidiaries technologies in China. We believe that this change in the scope of activities in China will result in a significant reduction in the number of operating entities, a simplification of the legal entity structure and a pivot to margin expansion opportunities.

In the year ended December 31, 2021, the company generated $29.7 million in revenues in the PRC, primarily from the sale of electric vehicle products. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the company generated $39.1 million iin revenues in the PRC. The carrying value of long lived assets in the PRC for the year ended December 31, 2022, was $0.1 million aand cash held in the PRC was approximately $15.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2022.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded charges of $1.2 million in connection with its restructuring actions and selling, general and administrative expenses. The restructuring charges consist of employee termination costs of $1.1 million. Employee termination benefits were recorded based on statutory requirements, completed negotiations and Company policy.
