REMARK MEDIA INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES 
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Remark Media, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Remark Media” or the “Company”), is a global digital media company focusing on the 18-to-34 year old demographic in primarily the United States and Asia. The Company is headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, with additional operations in Beijing, China and Sao Paulo, Brazil. Remark Media owns and operates digital media properties in a number of different content verticals. The Company's content verticals presently include: (i) its education vertical, encompassing the translated and localized additions of HowStuffWorks.com in China and Brazil; (ii) its personal finance vertical, encompassing Banks.com, US Tax Center at www.irs.com, FileLater.com, TaxExtension.com and TaxExtension.org; (iii) its young adult lifestyle vertical, including Bikini.com; (iv) its sports vertical, providing original sports and entertainment content; and (v) its travel vertical, including Roomlia, a mobile hotel booking application. Additionally, we aim to acquire, develop and launch other content, social and ecommerce websites focused on the 18-to-34 year old demographic, primarily in the United States and Asia.
 
Funding and Liquidity Considerations 
As of June 30, 2014, the Company’s total cash and cash equivalents balance was approximately $2.3 million.
 
The Company has incurred net losses and generated negative cash flow from operations in the six months ended June 30, 2014 and in each fiscal year since its inception, and has an accumulated deficit of $120.8 million as of June 30, 2014. The Company’s revenues were $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, generated principally from owning and operating its digital media properties.  The Company’s primary focus has been on organically building and strategically acquiring digital media properties.
 
On January 29, 2014 (the “January 2014 Note”), November 14, 2013 (the “November 2013 Note”), April 2, 2013 (the “April 2013 Note”), and November 23, 2012 (the “November 2012 Note”), the Company issued Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes to Digipac, LLC (“Digipac”), of which Kai-Shing Tao, the Company’s Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, is the manager and a member, and Douglas Osrow, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, is a member, in the original principal amounts of $3,500,000,  $2,500,000$4,000,000 and $1,800,000, respectively, in exchange for cash equal to the respective original principal amounts.  The January 2014 Note, November 2013 Note, April 2013 Note and November 2012 Note are collectively referred to herein as the “Digipac Notes”.
 
The January 2014 Note and November 2013 Note bear interest at a rate of 6.67% per annum for the first year and 8.67% per annum thereafter, with interest payable quarterly and all unpaid principal and any accrued but unpaid interest due and payable on the second anniversary of issuance.  At any time, Digipac may elect to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount and accrued but unpaid interest under such notes into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $5.03 per share for the January 2014 Note and $3.75 per share for the November 2013 Note.  The Company also may elect to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount and accrued but unpaid interest under such notes into common stock at the applicable conversion price if the volume weighted average price of the common stock is equal to at least 150% of the applicable conversion price for at least 30 of the 40 trading days immediately prior to the date of the Company’s election.  Such notes also provide that the Company and Digipac will negotiate and enter into a registration rights agreement providing Digipac with demand and piggyback registration rights with respect to the shares of common stock underlying such notes.  As of June 30, 2014, the Company had not entered into any such registration rights agreement.  The Company may prepay all or a portion of such notes at any time upon at least 15 days’ prior written notice to Digipac.
 
The April 2013 Note bore interest at a rate of 6.67% per annum for the first year and 8.67% per annum thereafter, and the November 2012 Note bore interest at a rate of 6.67% per annum.  The outstanding principal amount and accrued but unpaid interest under the April 2013 Note and the November 2012 Note were convertible into common stock at a conversion price of $2.00 per share for the April 2013 Note and $1.30 per share for the November 2012 Note.  On November 12, 2013, Digipac converted the $4,000,000 principal amount and $164,466 accrued but unpaid interest outstanding under the April 2013 Note into 2,082,233 shares of common stock, and converted the $1,800,000 principal amount and $116,771 accrued but unpaid interest outstanding under the November 2012 Note into 1,474,439 shares of common stock.
 
In connection with the issuance of the November 2012 Note, the Company and Digipac entered into a Security Agreement dated as of November 23, 2012 (the “Security Agreement”) to secure the Company’s obligations under such note.  The Security Agreement provides that the Company’s obligations are secured by all assets of the Company other than the shares of common stock of Sharecare, Inc. owned by the Company.  The Company and Digipac subsequently entered into amendments to the

REMARK MEDIA INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES 
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Security Agreement in connection with the issuances of the April 2013 Note, the November 2013 Note and the January 2014 Note to include the Company’s obligations under such notes as obligations secured by the Security Agreement.

On January 15, 2014, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Banks.com, completed an asset acquisition of the following domain names, which provide web-based tax extension services: www.taxextension.com, www.taxextensions.com, and www.onlinetaxextension.com, for an aggregate purchase price of $450,000.  
 
On February 11, 2014, the Company and Bombo Sports & Entertainment, LLC (“BSE”) entered into a Loan Agreement pursuant to which the Company loaned BSE $1 million (the “BSE Loan Agreement”). On April 16, 2014, the Company and BSE entered into an amendment to the BSE Loan Agreement, pursuant to which the Company increased the amount of the loan to up to $1.35 million. On April 16, 2014, April 21, 2014 and June 12, 2014, the Company loaned BSE an additional $0.05 million, $0.15 million and $0.15 million, respectively, bringing the outstanding principal balance to $1.35 million. The outstanding principal balance of the loan bears interest at 5% per annum, with principal and interest due and payable 10 days after the delivery of the written demand to BSE. If the loan is not paid in full at the end of the 10 day period, the outstanding principal will bear interest at 12% per annum until paid in full. BSE may prepay all or any portion of the loan at any time without premium or penalty. See Note 3 for additional information regarding the loan.

On May 2, 2014, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 2, 2014 (the “Merger Agreement”), between Roomlia, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub” or “Roomlia”), and Hotelmobi Inc. (“Hotelmobi”), a company engaged in the business of developing, owning and operating mobile hotel booking applications.  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Hotelmobi merged with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, referred to herein as the Merger.  As consideration for the Merger, the outstanding shares of Hotelmobi’s common stock were converted into the right to receive an aggregate of (i) 400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, (ii) 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued on the one year anniversary of the closing of the Merger, provided that the recipient is employed by the Company on such date or was terminated by the Company for any reason, (iii) warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $8.00 per share and (iv) warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $12.00 per share.  The warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock issued to former Hotelmobi stockholders in the Merger (the “Roomlia Warrants”) vest 12.5% on the last day of each fiscal quarter beginning June 30, 2014, provided the recipient is employed by the Company on such date or has been terminated other than for Cause (as defined in the Merger Agreement).  The Roomlia Warrants expire on the fifth anniversary of their issuance.  Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, concurrently with the closing of the Merger, the Company paid Hotelmobi’s principal stockholders a total of $171,894 in cash in repayment of funds they loaned to Hotelmobi.

On June 16, 2014, the Company sold an aggregate of 470,000 shares of common stock to six accredited investors in a private placement in exchange for $2,820,000 in cash.  The selling price of $6.00 per share of common stock represented a five percent discount from the 30-day volume weighted average price. 
 
The Company intends to fund its future operations, particularly its young adult lifestyle and personal finance properties, through dynamic growth. Additionally, the Company is actively engaged in evaluating future acquisitions to provide revenue growth and assessing the sale of certain non-core assets to provide capital.  The Company has implemented measures to reduce operating costs and will continue to evaluate other opportunities to streamline costs. 
 
Absent any acquisitions of new businesses or material increases in revenues from its existing customers, current revenue growth will not be sufficient to sustain the Company’s operations in the long term. As such, the Company will, in all likelihood, need to obtain additional equity or debt financing and/or divest of certain assets or businesses, none of which can be assured on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. In addition, any equity financing that might be obtained may dilute existing stockholders.  There is no certainty that the Company will be successful at raising capital, nor is there certainty around the amount of funds that may be raised. In addition, the success of the Company will be subject to the performance of the markets and the volatility of investor sentiment regarding macro and micro economic conditions. Any failure by the Company to successfully implement these plans would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, including the possible inability to continue operations.

REMARK MEDIA INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES 
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Based on the Company's most recent cash flow projections, the Company believes it has sufficient existing cash and cash equivalents and cash resources as of the date of this report to meet its ongoing requirements through December 31, 2014. Projecting operating results, however, is inherently uncertain as anticipated expenses may exceed current forecasts.
 
Basis of Preparation 
 
The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 are unaudited. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for financial information have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of Article 10 of Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to state fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods indicated. The December 31, 2013 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
 
Principles of Consolidation 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Remark Media and its subsidiaries. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other future interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2014.
 
All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates 
 
The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported and disclosed in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.  On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to accounts receivable, intangible assets, useful lives of property and equipment, stock-based compensation, equity-method investments, and income taxes, among other things. 
 
Revenue Recognition  
The Company generally recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been provided, fees are fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. 
  
The Company generally recognizes revenue from its network of domestic and international websites. Revenue is recognized as visitors are exposed to or react to advertisements on its websites, or purchase goods or services. Revenue from advertising is generated in the form of sponsored links and display ads. This includes both pay-per-performance ads and paid-for-impression ads. In the pay-per-performance model, revenue is generally earned based on the number of clicks or other actions taken associated with such ads; in the paid-for-impression model, revenue is derived from the display of ads.
 
Operating Expenses 
General and administrative expenses include all legal, finance, accounting and administrative expenses such as professional fees and facilities costs.  Depreciation and amortization include the depreciation of our acquired fixed assets and amortization of software and definite-lived intangible assets.  
 
Purchase Price Allocations  
Occasionally, the Company enters into business combinations.  The purchase price is allocated to the various assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair value.  Fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based upon available information and may involve engaging an independent third party to perform an appraisal of tangible and intangible

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

assets.  Estimating fair values can be complex and subject to significant business judgment and most commonly impacts property, equipment, software, and definite-or indefinite-lived intangible assets.
Software Development Costs 
The Company capitalizes qualifying costs of computer software and website development costs. Costs incurred during the application development stage as well as upgrades and enhancements that result in additional functionality are capitalized. The internally developed software costs capitalized were $0.2 million and $0.1 million, at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, and are included in “Property, equipment and software” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Internally developed software and website development costs are being amortized utilizing the straight-line method over a period of three years, the expected period of the benefit. For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded approximately $11 thousand and $2 thousand of amortization expense, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded approximately $11 thousand and $4 thousand of amortization expense, respectively.
  
Stock-Based Compensation 
The Company measures stock-based compensation at the grant date based on the calculated fair value of the award.  The Company recognizes the expense over the recipient’s requisite service period, generally the vesting period of the award.  The Company estimates the fair value of stock options at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with weighted average assumptions for the activity under its stock plans. Option pricing model input assumptions such as expected term, expected volatility and risk-free interest rate, among others, impact the fair value estimate.  These assumptions generally require significant analysis and use of judgment and estimates to develop. Options vest based on meeting a minimum service period or performance condition. Restricted stock grants are recorded using the fair value of the granted shares based on the market value at the grant date.  In addition, the forfeiture rate impacts the amount of aggregate compensation. These assumptions are subjective and generally require significant analysis and judgment to develop. 
The Company does not recognize a deferred tax asset for unrealized tax benefits associated with the tax deductions in excess of the compensation recorded (excess tax benefit).  The Company applies the “with and without” approach for utilization of tax attributes upon realization of net operating losses in the future.  This method allocates stock-based compensation benefits last among other tax benefits recognized.  In addition, the Company applies the “direct only” method in calculating the amount of windfalls or shortfalls. 

Long-lived Assets

The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets with finite useful lives for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Such trigger events or changes in circumstances may include the following: a significant decrease in the market price of a long-lived asset; a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which a long-lived asset is being used; a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate, including those resulting from technology advancements in the industry, the impact of competition or other factors that could affect the value of a long-lived asset; a significant adverse deterioration in the amount of revenue or cash flows the Company expects to generate; an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or development of a long-lived asset; current or future operating or cash flow losses that demonstrate continuing losses associated with the use of a long-lived asset; or a current expectation that, more likely than not, a long-lived asset will be sold or otherwise disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life. The Company performs impairment testing at the asset level that represents the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. If events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable and the expected undiscounted future cash flows attributable to the asset are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss equal to the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value is recorded. Fair value is determined based upon estimated discounted future cash flows. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded a $0.3 million impairment loss related to the net carrying value of the intangible assets for its subsidiary MyStockFundSecurities, Inc. There was no impairment loss recorded in the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consist of trade and domain names, customer relationships, acquired technology, a license, a non-compete agreement and other intangible assets with useful lives ranging from two years to 11 years and amortized using the straight-line method, except for the license, which has an indefinite life. For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded approximately $140 thousand and $110 thousand of amortization expense, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded approximately $270 thousand and $180 thousand of amortization expense, respectively.

Assets Held for Sale

The Company has early adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-08 "Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360)" (together, "ASU 2014-08"), which change the requirements for reporting discontinued operations in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 205-20.  As a result of this update, beginning in this fiscal quarter, the Company will no longer classify individual properties that are either disposed of or are classified as held for sale as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations if the removal, or anticipated removal, of the asset(s) from the reporting entity does not represent a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results when disposed of.  ASU 2014-08 requires previously reported assets that qualified for discontinued operations reporting to continue to be reported in that manner.

In June 2014, the Company reached a decision to actively market for sale one of its wholly owned subsidiaries, MyStockFundSecurities, Inc., to better focus its resources on the Company's core strategy.  In accordance with ASC 360-10-45, the asset met all of the criteria to be classified as held for sale. As of June 30, 2014, held for sale assets were $18,146 and held for sale liabilities were $8,274. These assets are net of an impairment charge of $268,215. The assets and liabilities are comprised of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid assets and intangible assets, as well as accrued expenses and other current liabilities.  The Company expects to complete the sale in the third quarter of 2014.

Derivative Liability for Warrants to Purchase Common Stock
 
The Company’s derivative liability for warrants represents the fair value of warrants issued in connection with an equity financing related to the Banks.com acquisition consummated on February 26, 2012. These warrants are presented as liabilities based on certain exercise price reductions provisions. The liability, which is recorded at the fair value on the balance sheet, is calculated using the Monte Carlo simulation valuation method. The change in the fair value of these warrants is recognized as a component of other income or expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
 
Notes Receivable
 
Notes receivable from debt facilities originated by the Company are recorded at cost and evaluated for impairment. Relevant factors considered in the determination of recoverability include the interest rate offered in the market, as well as management’s estimate of projected cash flows and profitability.
 
Interest Income
 
Interest income earned by the Company on the note receivable is recognized under the accrual basis of accounting.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360),” which changes the requirements for reporting discontinued operations in ASC Subtopic 205-20. This pronouncement has been early adopted by the Company in the second quarter of 2014.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue From Contracts With Customers" ("ASU 2014-09"), which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years (and interim reporting periods within those years) beginning after December 15, 2016. The

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Company is currently reviewing the provisions of ASU 2014-09 but does not expect it to have a material effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company has evaluated all other new ASUs issued by the FASB in 2014 and has concluded these updates do not have a material effect on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2014.
 
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, “Income Taxes — Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carry forward Exists” (“ASU 2013-11”) which is part of ASC 740, Income Taxes. The new guidance requires an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit and a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward on a net basis as part of a deferred tax asset, unless the unrecognized tax benefit is not available to reduce the deferred tax asset component or would not be utilized for that purpose, then a liability would be recognized. ASU 2013-11 is effective for annual and interim periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013. Adoption of this ASU had no impact on the reported consolidated financial statements or results of operations.

2.  INVESTMENT IN SHARECARE 
 
In 2009, the Company co-founded Sharecare, Inc., a U.S.-based venture between: Dr. Mehmet Oz, a leading cardiac surgeon, health expert and host of “The Dr. Oz Show”; HARPO Productions, producer of “The Oprah Winfrey Show”; Discovery Communications, the world’s largest non-fiction media company; Jeff Arnold, WebMD founder and Discovery Communications’ former Chief of Global Digital Strategy; Sony Pictures Television; and Remark Media (“Sharecare”).  Sharecare was created to build a web-based platform that simplifies the search for health and wellness information by organizing a vast array of health-related questions and providing multiple answers from experts, organizations, publishers, and caregivers representing various points of view. As a part of the transactions, the Company received an equity stake in Sharecare, sold substantially all of the assets of its DailyStrength subsidiary to Sharecare, agreed to provide management and website development services to Sharecare, and received a license to use Sharecare’s web platform for its own businesses. 
 
Until November 30, 2012, the Company accounted for its equity interest in Sharecare under the equity method of accounting.  Under this method, the Company recorded its proportionate share of Sharecare’s net income or loss based on Sharecare’s financial results.  As of December 1, 2012, the Company moved to the cost method of accounting due to a lower percentage of ownership (10.8% as of December 31, 2012), nonparticipation in policy-making processes, and limited existence of technology dependency by Sharecare on the Company. As of June 30, 2014, the Company owned approximately 5.98% of Sharecare’s common stock and had representation on its Board of Directors.
 
The following table shows selected unaudited financial data of Sharecare including Remark Media’s proportional share of net loss in Sharecare as reported under the equity method for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recorded a $0.2 million change in its estimate of its proportional share in loss of equity-method investment related to the period from January 1, 2012 through November 30, 2012, based on information that was finalized and provided to the Company subsequent to the issuance of its December 31, 2012 financial statements:

3.  NOTE RECEIVABLE FROM BOMBO SPORTS & ENTERTAINMENT, LLC
 
On February 11, 2014, the Company and Bombo Sports & Entertainment, LLC, or BSE,  entered into the BSE Loan Agreement pursuant to which the Company loaned BSE $1 million. On April 16, 2014, the Company and BSE entered into an amendment to the BSE Loan Agreement, pursuant to which the Company increased the amount of the loan to up to $1.35 million. On April 16, 2014, April 21, 2014 and June 12, 2014, the Company loaned BSE an additional $0.05 million, $0.15 million and $0.15 million, respectively, bringing the outstanding principal balance to $1.35 million. The outstanding principal balance of the loan bears interest at 5% per annum, with principal and interest due and payable 10 days after the delivery of the written demand to BSE. If the loan is not paid in full at the end of the 10 day period, the outstanding principal will bear interest at 12% per annum until it is paid in full. BSE may prepay all or any portion of the loan at any time without premium or penalty.
 
BSE’s obligations under the BSE Loan Agreement are secured by (i) a membership interest pledge agreement pursuant to which Robert S. Potter, the manager and owner of 86% membership interest in BSE, pledged to the Company all of his right, title, and interest in and to such membership interest and (ii) a pledge by BSE to the Company of all BSE’s assets.
 
The interest income on the loan was approximately $14,000 and $21,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and is recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
 
4.  FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. The common stock warrants which are classified as liabilities are recorded at their fair market value as of each reporting period.
 
The measurement of fair market value requires the use of techniques based on observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. The inputs create the following fair market value hierarchy:
 
Level 1 - Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations where inputs are observable or where significant value drivers are observable.
Level 3 - Instruments where significant value drivers are unobservable to third parties.
 
The Company uses model-derived valuations where inputs are both observable and unobservable in active markets to determine the fair value of certain common stock warrants on a recurring basis. The lowest level of significant inputs are classified as Level 3; thus, the common stock warrants are classified as Level 3. The Company utilized a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model to fair value the warrants. 
 
Assumptions used in calculating the fair value of these warrants were noted as follows:
 
June 30, 2014
 
December 31, 2013
 
 
 
 
Annual rate of quarterly dividend
0.00%
 
0.00%
Expected volatility
50% - 90%
 
100%
Risk free interest rate
0.08% - 0.94%
 
1.10%
Expected remaining term (in years)
0.66 - 3.16
 
1.16 - 3.66
 
In addition to the assumptions above, the Company takes into consideration whether or not it would participate in another round of equity financing and, if so, what the stock price would be for such a financing at that time.

6. CAPITAL LEASES 
 
On December 7, 2010, Banks.com entered into a sale-leaseback arrangement with Domain Capital, LLC (“Domain Capital”) consisting of an agreement to assign the domain name, banks.com, to Domain Capital in exchange for $0.6 million in cash and a lease agreement to lease back the domain name from Domain Capital for a five year term. The lease provides for a bargain purchase option at the end of its term, effectively transferring ownership back to Banks.com. Effective June 28, 2012, Banks.com became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Remark Media and pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger among the Company, Remark Florida, Inc. and Banks.com dated February 26, 2012, Remark Media assumed all its outstanding liabilities. As of June 30, 2014, total obligations under this agreement were $0.2 million, $0.1 million of which is included under the current portion of capital lease obligations and the remainder is included under capital lease obligations, net of current portion on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2014.

13

REMARK MEDIA INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES 
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

termination liability of $0.3 million adjusted for sublease rental income, leasehold allowances, and the use of security deposits. The early termination liability principally represents the escalating lease payments inherent in the deferred rent as of the cease use date, net of the sub-lease income. The estimated fair value of the costs was based on the terms of the lease agreement and sub-lease agreement and, as such, represents the lease commitment over the next three years. The Company elected not to present value that obligation because the difference between the gross and discounted future cash flow settlements was immaterial to the financial statements.
 
On the cease use date, the Company recorded an early termination expense of approximately $16 thousand, which was adjusted for the remaining deferred rent, use of security deposits, and future sublease income. These fees were included in the general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. In June 2014, The Company recorded a reduction to the early termination liability of approximately $93 thousand to reflect the remaining rent due net of sublease rental income. This adjustment was included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. The early termination liability has been reduced by approximately $131 thousand during the six months ended June 30, 2014.
 
On December 31, 2013, the Company entered into a Lease Termination Agreement with the landlord of its Concourse Five office space, waiving all rights to apply unpaid leasehold improvements. The termination penalty for abandoning the Concourse Five office space was $0.1 million, which was recorded as an expense and included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. The early termination liability was extinguished as of March 31, 2014.

The early termination liability of $0.1 million is recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

 Contingencies
 
The Company is engaged from time to time in certain legal disputes arising in the ordinary course of business.   The Company accrues liabilities for legal contingencies when it believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and that it can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss. The Company will review these accruals and adjust them to reflect ongoing negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other relevant information. To the extent new information is obtained, and the Company’s views on the probable outcomes of claims, suits, assessments, investigations, or legal proceedings change, changes in the Company’s accrued liabilities would be recorded in the period in which such determination is made. Management believes that the outcome of any such matters will not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Remark Media has authorization to issue 800,000 shares under its 2006 Equity Incentive Plan adopted April 13, 2006 (the “2006 Plan”), 525,000 shares under its 2010 Equity Incentive Plan adopted June 15, 2010, and modified on December 30, 2011 (the “2010 Plan”) and 1,500,000 shares under its 2014 Incentive Plan adopted February 17, 2014 (the “2014 Plan”), to help attract, retain and motivate its eligible executives, employees, officers, directors and consultants.  Options to purchase common stock under the 2006 Plan, 2010 Plan and 2014 Plan have been granted to the Company’s officers and employees with an exercise price equal to or greater than the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant.
 
The Company measures stock-based compensation cost at the grant date based on the fair value of the award, and recognizes it as an expense over the requisite service period.  Stock-based compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, was $5.0 million and $0.4 million and for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $2.7 million and $0.2 million, respectively.  An expense of $0.7 million was included in stock compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014 related to modifying the vesting terms of 210,000 stock option grants and 170,000 restricted shares from 3-to-5 years to a 1 year vesting period in the first quarter of 2014. As of June 30, 2014, unrecognized compensation expense relating to non-vested stock options approximated $3.5 million, and is expected to be recognized through 2017.

The grant date fair value of options vesting during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $2.8 million and $0.5 million, respectively.

Results of Operations
Revenue 
 
Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was $0.8 million, an increase of approximately $0.1 million from the same period in 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 total revenue was $1.4 million, an increase of $0.5 million from the same period in 2013. The increase from the prior year’s period relates primarily to an increase in revenues generated from the purchase of tax extension services through the Company’s personal finance websites.
 
Sales and Marketing 
 
Sales and marketing expenses were approximately $33 thousand and $187 thousand in the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, sales and marketing expenses were approximately $108 thousand and $187 thousand, respectively. The decrease in sales and marketing expenses relates primarily to a reduction in marketing costs.
 
Content, Technology and Development 
 
Content, technology and development expenses include the ongoing third-party costs to acquire original content, translate and localize content from English to Portuguese and Chinese, as well as costs of designing and developing our products, including labor, content and third party platform support services.  For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the expense was approximately $236 thousand and $208 thousand, respectively.  For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the expense was approximately $309 thousand and $338 thousand, respectively. 
 
Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense was $2.7 million and $0.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $5.0 million and $0.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase in the three month period reflects an expense of $0.7 million related to the modification of vesting terms for certain stock option grants and restricted shares, and $1.7 million for performance of past services. In February 2014, we granted 275,000 restricted shares at a per share price of $6.10 to Pacific Star Capital Management, LP, an entity controlled by Kai-Shing Tao, the Company’s Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, as compensation for providing Mr. Tao’s services as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer from September 2012 to December 2013. The additional increase in the six month period is driven by 1,257,250 options granted under the 2014 Incentive Plan to employees and directors during the first quarter of 2014. Stock- based compensation is further discussed in Note 8 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, Stockholders’ Equity and Net Loss Per Share.

General and Administrative Expenses 
 
Total general and administrative expense was $1.9 million and $1.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and was $3.5 million and $2.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase primarily relates to higher salary and related payroll costs due to the hiring of new employees.

18



Depreciation and Amortization
 
Depreciation and amortization expense was approximately $165 thousand and $123 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and was approximately $299 thousand and $207 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  The increase primarily relates to the amortization of assets acquired in the Pop Factory and Roomlia acquisitions.
 
Interest Expense 
 
Interest expense for both the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was approximately $113 thousand. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was approximately $206 thousand and $158 thousand, respectively. The increase in interest expense is due to the conversion of the November 2012 Note and the April 2013 Note into common stock on November 12, 2013 and the issuance of the November 2013 Note on November 13, 2013 and the January 2014 Note on January 29, 2014.
 
Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liability
 
The change in fair value of the derivative liability for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was a loss of $0.7 million and $0.2 million, respectively, and a loss of $0.8 million and $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase in the loss relates to the increased fair value of the Company's outstanding warrants, driven by the increase in the Company's common stock price as of June 30, 2014.
 
Loss from Equity-Method Investments and Change of Interest Gain 
 
We accounted for our investment in Sharecare under the equity method of accounting through November 2012.  In December 2012, the Company changed to the cost method of accounting.  Under the equity method, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, we did not record any gain or loss resulting from the change in interest ownership in Sharecare.  In the first quarter of 2013, the Company recorded a $0.2 million change in the estimate of its proportional share in loss of equity-method investment related to the period from January 1, 2012 through November 30, 2012.

Critical Accounting Policies 
 
A description of our significant accounting policies can be found in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, in our 2013 Form 10-K. There were no material changes to those policies during the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources  
 
As of June 30, 2014, the Company’s total cash and cash equivalents balance was approximately $2.3 million.
 
The Company has incurred net losses and generated negative cash flow from operations in the six months ended June 30, 2014 and in each fiscal year since its inception and has an accumulated deficit of $120.8 million as of June 30, 2014. The Company’s revenues were $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, generated principally from owning and operating its digital media properties.  The Company’s primary focus has been organically building and strategically acquiring digital media properties. 
 
On January 29, 2014 (the “January 2014 Note”), November 14, 2013 (the “November 2013 Note”), April 2, 2013 (the “April 2013 Note”), and November 23, 2012 (the “November 2012 Note”), the Company issued Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes to Digipac, LLC (“Digipac”), of which Kai-Shing Tao, the Company’s Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, is the manager and a member, and Douglas Osrow, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, is a member, in the original principal amounts of $3,500,000, $2,500,000, $4,000,000 and $1,800,000, respectively, in exchange for cash equal to the respective original principal amounts.  The January 2014 Note, November 2013 Note, April 2013 Note and November 2012 Note are collectively referred to herein as the “Digipac Notes”.

19


 
The January 2014 Note and November 2013 Note bear interest at a rate of 6.67% per annum for the first year and 8.67% per annum thereafter, with interest payable quarterly and all unpaid principal and any accrued but unpaid interest due and payable on the second anniversary of issuance.  At any time, Digipac may elect to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount and accrued but unpaid interest under such notes into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $5.03 per share for the January 2014 Note and $3.75 per share for the November 2013 Note.  The Company also may elect to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount and accrued but unpaid interest under such notes into common stock at the applicable conversion price if the volume weighted average price of the common stock is equal to at least 150% of the applicable conversion price for at least 30 of the 40 trading days immediately prior to the date of the Company’s election.  Such notes also provide that the Company and Digipac will negotiate and enter into a registration rights agreement providing Digipac with demand and piggyback registration rights with respect to the shares of common stock underlying such notes.  As of June 30, 2014, the Company had not entered into any such registration rights agreement.  The Company may prepay all or a portion of such notes at any time upon at least 15 days’ prior written notice to Digipac.
 
The April 2013 Note bore interest at a rate of 6.67% per annum for the first year and 8.67% per annum thereafter, and the November 2012 Note bore interest at a rate of 6.67% per annum.  The outstanding principal amount and accrued but unpaid interest under the April 2013 Note and the November 2012 Note were convertible into common stock at a conversion price of $2.00 per share for the April 2013 Note and $1.30 per share for the November 2012 Note.  On November 12, 2013, Digipac converted the $4,000,000 principal amount and $164,466 accrued but unpaid interest outstanding under the April 2013 Note into 2,082,233 shares of common stock, and converted the $1,800,000 principal amount and $116,771 accrued but unpaid interest outstanding under the November 2012 Note into 1,474,439 shares of common stock.
 
In connection with the issuance of the November 2012 Note, the Company and Digipac entered into a Security Agreement dated as of November 23, 2012 (the “Security Agreement”) to secure the Company’s obligations under such note.  The Security Agreement provides that the Company’s obligations are secured by all assets of the Company other than the shares of common stock of Sharecare, Inc. owned by the Company.  The Company and Digipac subsequently entered into amendments to the Security Agreement in connection with the issuances of the April 2013 Note, the November 2013 Note and the January 2014 Note to include the Company’s obligations under such notes as obligations secured by the Security Agreement.
 
On January 15, 2014, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Banks.com, completed an asset acquisition of the following domain names which provide web-based tax extension services: www.taxextension.com, www.taxextensions.com, and www.onlinetaxextension.com, for an aggregate purchase price of $450,000.  
 
On February 11, 2014, the Company and BSE entered into the BSE Loan Agreement pursuant to which the Company loaned BSE $1 million. On April 16, 2014, the Company and BSE entered into an amendment to the BSE Loan Agreement, pursuant to which the Company increased the amount of the loan to up to $1.35 million. On April 16, 2014, April 21, 2014 and June 12, 2014, the Company loaned BSE an additional $0.05 million, $0.15 million and $0.15 million, respectively, bringing the outstanding principal balance to $1.35 million. The outstanding principal balance of the loan bears interest at 5% per annum, with principal and interest due and payable 10 days after the delivery of the written demand to BSE. If the loan is not paid in full at the end of the 10 day period, the outstanding principal will bear interest at 12% per annum until paid in full. BSE may prepay all or any portion of the loan at any time without premium or penalty.
 
BSE’s obligations under the BSE Loan Agreement are secured by (i) a membership interest pledge agreement pursuant to which Robert S. Potter, the manager and owner of 86% membership interest in BSE, pledged to the Company all of his right, title, and interest in and to such membership interest and (ii) a pledge by BSE to the Company of all BSE’s assets.
 
The interest income on the loan was approximately $21 thousand and is recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

On June 16, 2014, the Company sold an aggregate of 470,000 shares of our common stock to six accredited investors in a private placement in exchange for $2,820,000 in cash.  The selling price of $6 per share of common stock represented a five percent discount from the 30-day volume weighted average price. 
 
Based on the Company's most recent cash flow projections, the Company believes it has sufficient existing cash and cash equivalents and cash resources as of the date of this report to meet its ongoing requirements through December 31, 2014. Projecting operating results, however, is inherently uncertain as anticipated expenses may exceed what has been forecast.

Cash flows from operating activities
 
Net cash used in operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $3.3 million. Our net loss during the period was $9.1 million, which included non-cash charges of $6.4 million such as depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, intangible asset impairment, and change in fair value of derivative liability. Stock based compensation accounted for $5.0 million of the $6.4 million non-cash charges. The remainder of cash used in operating activities was from changes in our working capital, driven by a $0.7 million decrease in accounts payable primarily due to timing of payments.
Net cash used in operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $1.1 million. Our net loss during the period was $3.2 million, which included non-cash charges of $0.9 million such as depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, and certain gains and losses. The remainder of cash used in operating activities was from changes in our working capital of $1.0 million.

Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $2.7 million, primarily driven by the $2.4 million Pop Factory business acquisition in the first quarter of 2013.  
Cash flows from financing activities 
 
Net cash provided by financing activities was $6.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014. This includes $2.9 million cash proceeds from the issuance of common stock, including $2.8 million for shares issued in a private placement on June 16, 2014. An additional $3.5 million cash proceeds were provided by the sale of the January 2014 Note to Digipac on January 29, 2014.

The April 2013 Note is further discussed in Note 1 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. 
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements 
 
None.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. 
 
We translate the foreign currency financial statements of our international operations into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates, except revenue and expenses, which we translate at average exchange rates during each reporting period. We accumulate net exchange gains or losses resulting from the translation of assets and liabilities in a separate caption of stockholders’ equity titled “accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)”. Generally, our foreign expenses are denominated in the same currency as the associated foreign revenue, and at this stage of our development, the exposure to rate changes is minimal. 
   
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to a concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts receivables.  At June 30, 2014, less than 1% of our cash was denominated in Brazilian Reais, Chinese Renminbi or Hong Kong Dollars, with nearly 100% of our cash denominated in U.S. Dollars.  The majority of our cash is placed with financial institutions we believe are of high credit quality.  Our cash is maintained in bank deposit accounts, which, at times, exceed federally insured limits.  We have not experienced any losses in such accounts and do not believe our cash is exposed to any significant credit risk. 

We do not use financial instruments to hedge our foreign exchange exposure because the effects of the foreign exchange rate fluctuations are not currently significant. We do not use financial instruments for trading purposes. We do not use any derivative financial instruments to mitigate any of our currency risks.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.   
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures 
 
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)).  Based on their evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, with the participation of the Company’s management, have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2014, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (a) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (b) accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting 
 
There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during our fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2014, or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
