INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

 

To the Board of Directors

Timios Holdings Corp.

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Timios Holdings Corp. (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.

 

Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal controls relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error.

 

Auditor’s Responsibility

 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatements.

 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal controls. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

Opinion

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Timios Holdings Corp. as of December 31, 2020, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2020 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Year Ended December 31, 2020

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION

 

Timios Holdings Corp. (the “Company”) is a holding company, whose current operating companies provide title, escrow, and appraisal management services. The Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware in October 2015 and is the surviving entity of a merger with Timios National Corporation that was completed in November 2015 pursuant to Section 253 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. Timios National Corporation was a consolidator of companies that was originally incorporated in the State of Delaware in August 1997.

 

The Company wholly owns Fiducia Real Estate Solutions, Inc. (“FRES”), also a Delaware corporation. FRES wholly owns two companies: (1) Timios, Inc. (“TIM”), which is engaged in title and escrow services for mortgage origination and refinance, reverse mortgages and deed-in-lieu transactions; and (2) Timios Appraisal Management, Inc. (“TAM”), which is engaged in appraisal management services.

 

TIM wholly owns four companies: (1) Timios Title, a California Corporation (“TTC”) which is engaged in title and escrow services in all fifty-eight counties in California; (2) Timios Agency of Alabama, Inc. (“TAA”), a domestic Alabama title agency; (3) Timios Agency of Nevada, Inc. (“TAN”), a domestic Nevada title agency; and (4) Timios Agency of Utah, Inc. (“TAU”), a domestic Utah title agency.

 

On November 11, 2020, Ideanomics, Inc. (“Ideanomics”) entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Company pursuant to which Ideanomics has agreed to acquire 100% of the outstanding capital stock of the Company for approximately $40.0 million (the “Transaction”) subject to customary purchase price adjustments set forth in the Agreement including an agreement that Ideanomics will increase the consideration by the amount of cash the Company leaves in the business which is required to be at least $5.0 million.

 

On January 8, 2021, Ideanomics closed the Transaction. At Closing, Ideanomics acquired 100% of the outstanding capital stock of the Company for approximately $40.0 million in cash consideration, plus approximately $6.5 million for cash on hand.

 

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Accounting

 

The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Timios Holdings Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC” or the “Codification”) Accounting for Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, the rules define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles and enhance disclosures about fair value measurements.

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value, as required by the Codification, must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

 

The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis in the financial statements. The hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of inputs, or assumptions, used in the determination of fair value and requires financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

 

·

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;

 

·

Level 2: Inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable. If the asset or liability has a specific (contractual) term, the level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and

 

·

Level 3: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

 

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic

 

In March 2020, a global pandemic escalated relating to a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”), which resulted in a slowdown in the global economy and a U.S. declaration of a national emergency. In response to the pandemic, health and governmental bodies, including the state of California where the Company is headquartered, issued travel restrictions, quarantine orders, temporary closures of non-essential businesses and other restrictive measures. Currently, various levels of restrictions are still in place across the U.S. to address the spread of COVID-19. Although the title insurance industry has been deemed essential in the U.S., the pandemic and measures to contain it have caused disruptions in the real estate market and in the Company's business operations. To the extent that the COVID-19 pandemic continues or worsens, it could adversely impact the Company's future operational and financial performance, which may result in impairments of its assets. The Company is currently unable to determine the effects the COVID-19 pandemic will have on the Company's future consolidated financial statements or results of operations.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company accounts for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are established, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. The Company evaluates the following indicators amongst others when determining whether it is acting as a principal in the transaction and recording revenue on a gross basis: (i) the Company is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the service, (ii) the Company has discretion in establishing the price for the specified good or service. If the terms of a transaction do not indicate the Company is acting as a principal in the transaction, then the Company is acting as an agent in the transaction and the associated revenues are recognized on a net basis.

 

Revenue is recognized when, or as, control of a promised product or service transfers to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring those products or services. Revenue recognition is evaluated through the following five-step process:

 

1) Identification of the contract with a customer;

2) Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;

3) Determination of the transaction price;

4) Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

5) Recognition of revenue when or as a performance obligation is satisfied.

 

Title Revenue

 

Premiums from title insurance policies written by independent agencies are recognized when the policies are reported to the Company and not before the effective date of the policy. Regulation of title insurance rates varies by state. Premiums are charged to customers based on rates predetermined in coordination with each states' respective Department of Insurance.

 

Closing Revenue

 

A closing or escrow is a transaction pursuant to an agreement of a buyer, seller, borrower, or lender wherein an impartial third party, such as the Company, acts in a fiduciary capacity on behalf of the parties in accordance with the terms of such agreement in order to accomplish the directions stated therein. Services provided include, among others, acting as escrow or other fiduciary agent, obtaining releases, and conducting the actual closing or settlement. Closing and escrow fees are recognized upon closing of the escrow, which is generally at the same time of the closing of the related real estate transaction.

 

Appraisal Revenue

 

Revenue from appraisal services are primarily related to establishing the ownership, legal status and valuation of the property in a real estate transaction. In these cases, the Company does not issue a title insurance policy or perform duties of an escrow agent. Revenues from these services are recognized upon delivery of the service to the customer.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

Revenue Recognition (Continued)

 

Remaining Performance Obligations

 

The Company requests payments for its products and services at the date performance obligations have been satisfied. The Company generally does not enter into any long-term financing arrangements or payment plans with customers or contracts with customers that have non-cash consideration. In addition, the Company applies the optional exemptions allowed under accounting guidance whereby the Company is not required to disclose either the transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied as of the end of the period or an explanation as to when the Company expects to recognize the related revenue.  Such contracts generally include performance obligations that are contingent upon the closing of a real estate transaction or include variable consideration based on order volumes and have remaining contract terms of less than one year.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include time deposits, certificates of deposit and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less.

 

Accounts Receivable Trade and Non-Trade

 

Accounts receivable are generally due within thirty days and are recorded net of an allowance for credit losses.  The Company considers accounts outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms as past due.  The Company determines the allowance by considering a number of factors, including the length of time trade accounts receivable are past due, previous loss history, a specific customer’s ability to pay its obligations to the Company and the current condition, and future expectations, of the general economy and industry as a whole.  Amounts are written off in the period in which they are deemed to be uncollectible. The Company did not have an allowance for doubtful accounts at December 31, 2020.

 

Accounts receivable, non-trade consists of recoverable losses.

 

Notes Receivable

 

Notes receivable are long term financing arrangements with borrowers and include an interest rate of 2.50% due quarterly. Notes receivable are recorded at their estimated realizable values. Management does not believe that there is a credit risk associated with these notes at December 31, 2020; therefore, an allowance has not been recorded.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Furniture, equipment and software are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of three to seven years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the term of the applicable lease or the estimated useful lives of such assets. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are charged to expense as incurred.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

Title Plant

 

Title plant owned by TTC consists of costs incurred to construct the title plant and to obtain, organize and summarize historical information for Glenn County title searches. These costs were capitalized until such time as the plant was deemed operational to conduct title searches and issue title insurance policies. Management has determined that the title plant has been properly maintained, has an indeterminable life, and in accordance with ASC 950-30 has not been amortized. The costs to maintain the current status of the title plant are recorded as a current period expense.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company reviews the carrying values of title plants and other long-lived assets if certain events occur that may indicate impairment. An impairment of these long-lived assets is indicated when projected undiscounted cash flows over the estimated lives of the assets are less than carrying values. If impairment is indicated, the recorded amounts are written down to fair values. No impairment has been recognized during the year ended December 31, 2020.

 

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets consist of intellectual property and amounts attributed to software development. When events or changes in circumstances would indicate that it is more-likely-than-not that carrying value may exceed fair value, the Company will review the recoverability of its intangible assets by comparing the unamortized carrying value of such assets to the related undiscounted cash flows of the asset. Any impairment related to intangible assets is measured against the asset’s fair value. Impairments would be charged to expense when such determination is made. No impairment has been recognized during the year ended December 31, 2020.

 

Software Development Costs

 

Software developed or obtained for internal use in accordance with ASC 350-40, Internal-Use Software (ASC 350-40), is capitalized during the application development stage. In accordance with authoritative guidance, the Company begins to capitalize costs to develop software when preliminary development efforts are successfully completed, management has authorized and committed project funding, and it is probable that the project will be completed, and the software will be used as intended. Once the project has been completed, these costs are amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the related asset, generally estimated to be three years. Costs incurred prior to meeting these criteria together with costs incurred for training and maintenance are expensed as incurred. The Company classifies software development costs associated with the development of the Company's products and services as intangible assets. For the year ended December 31, 2020, 2020 the Company capitalized $367,530 of software development costs.

Goodwill

 

The cost in excess of fair value of identifiable net assets of businesses acquired is recorded as goodwill. The Company evaluates the carrying value of goodwill at least annually, based on qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicates that it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired. If, after assessing the totality of events and circumstances, the Company concludes that it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired, the Company will compare the fair value of the operating business to the carrying value, including goodwill. If the carrying amounts of the operating businesses’ goodwill exceeds their implied fair value, an impairment charge is recognized in an amount equal to the difference between the carrying amount of the goodwill, and their implied fair value. Any impairment charge is recognized immediately in the statement of operations and is not subsequently reversed. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is evaluated at the lowest level within the Company at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. As of December 31, 2020, management determined that there was no impairment to goodwill.

 

Escrow and Trust Deposits

 

In providing escrow services, TIM and TTC hold funds for others in a fiduciary capacity, pending completion of real estate transactions. A separate, self-balancing set of accounting records is maintained by the Company to record escrow transactions. Escrow trust funds held for others are not considered assets of the Company and, therefore, are excluded from the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, however, the Company remains contingently liable for the disposition of these deposits.

 

Escrow trust balances at December 31, 2020 were $74,448,538.

 

It is a common industry practice for financial institutions where escrow funds are deposited to either reimburse or to directly provide for certain costs related to the delivery of escrow services. The Company follows the practice of non-recognition of costs borne by the financial institution where escrow funds are deposited.

 

Advertising Costs

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and totaled $28,750 for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

Income Taxes

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred income tax expense represents the change during the period in the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. The components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are individually classified as current and non-current based on their characteristics. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

US GAAP requires management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Company and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if an uncertain position has been taken that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Company, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2020, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or an asset) or disclosure in the financial statements.

 

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states as a member of a consolidated group and records its share of the consolidated federal tax liability on a separate return basis. The Company is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there is currently no audit for any tax periods in progress. The statute of limitations for federal and state purposes is generally three and four years, respectively.

 

Underwriting Agreements and Title Losses

 

TTC and TIM issue title insurance policies which are underwritten by First American Title Insurance Company, Westcor Land Title Insurance, and Fidelity National Title Insurance Company. In addition, the Company issued title insurance policies which were underwritten by North American Title Insurance Company during 2016 and Stewart Title Company during 2013.The underwriting agreements provide that the Company is liable for the first $5,000 of any loss, provided that the Company has performed the underwriting process in accordance with the respective agreements. For cancelled agreements, payments are still made on outstanding policies. The agreements were amended to include all counties.

 

In the course of conducting its business, the Company is occasionally named as defendant in claims concerning alleged errors or omissions pertaining to the issuance of title policies. Provision for such expected title losses is made on the basis of reported claims. The provision is management’s estimate of expected losses. While it is at least reasonably possible that the estimate will change materially in the near term, no estimate can be made of the range of additional loss that is at least reasonably possible.

 

Management has elected not to reserve for title and escrow losses at December 31, 2020 as management has not historically incurred and does not expect to incur any significant claim losses relating to escrow and title files.

Underwriting Agreements and Title Losses (Continued)

 

Title Search

 

TIM and TTC have entered into month-to-month agreements for title plant services with various vendors. Total title plant services under these agreements was approximately $1,860,000 for the year ended December 31, 2020. Title searches conducted in Glenn County, California utilize TTC’s title plant.

 

Note 3 – concentration of credit risk

 

Funds deposited with a financial institution (depository) that exceed $250,000 at any time represent a concentration of risk, since the FDIC’s maximum insurance limit is equal to this amount. The potential loss exposure at December 31, 2020 for the Company’s operating and trust accounts was $22,743,114.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2020 one customer comprised 15% of the Company’s consolidated revenues. At December 31, 2020 two customers made up approximately 30%, 26% and 16% of accounts receivable, respectively.

Note 10 – income taxes

 

Deferred income taxes are provided for the temporary differences between the financial basis and tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities. The provision for income taxes consists of the following components:

 

Current:
Federal		$	2,429,923
State			140,691
			2,570,614
Deferred:
Federal			(21,964	)
State			(16,100	)
			(38,064	)
Provision for income taxes		$	2,532,550
Net Deferred Tax Asset (Liability)
Net operating loss carryforwards		$	822,943
Accrued expenses and other payables			294,150
Depreciation			(47,652	)
			1,069,441
Less: valuation allowance			(673,582	)
Net deferred tax asset		$	395,859

 

Deferred tax liabilities result from the use of accelerated methods of depreciation on property and equipment. Deferred tax assets result primarily from net operating losses and timing differences related to compensation. At December 31, 2020, the Company has federal net operating loss carryforwards of $3,918,775 that expire beginning in the year 2021. The valuation allowance decreased compared to prior year due to the amount of net operating loss carryforward and the amount expected to be utilized of that carryforward.

 

The income tax expense does not approximate the statutory federal and state rates because of a reduction in net operating loss carryover due to Internal Revenue Code Section 382 limits.

Note 12 – Commitments and Contingencies

 

Contingencies

 

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to proceedings, lawsuits and other claims under laws and governmental regulations. TIM and TTC are occasionally named as a defendant in claims concerning alleged errors or omissions pertaining to escrow and title services. Such matters are subject to uncertainties and outcomes are not predictable. While such matters could affect the operating results for future periods, and while there can be no assurance with respect thereto, management believes that the impact of any such matters would not be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2020.

 

Compensated Absences

 

Employees of the Company are entitled to paid vacation, paid sick days, and personal days off, depending on job classification, length of service, and other factors. Accrued compensated absences totaled $449,547 and is included in accrued expenses on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

2024			42,024
		$	1,229,896

 

Litigation

 

The Company is involved in routine litigation that arises in the ordinary course of the business. While the Company does not believe that any of these items would have a material impact on the financial position or its results of operations, the Company is unable to predict the ultimate outcome at this time.

 

Note 13 – working capital and dividend restrictions

 

The Company’s primary assets are the securities of its operating subsidiaries. The Company’s ability to pay outstanding debts and other obligations is dependent on the ability of the subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions or payments.

 

In addition, TTC, must comply with California state laws which require it to maintain a minimum working capital balance of $10,000, which places further restrictions on the amount of dividends that TTC can distribute to the Company. As of December 31, 2020, TTC was in compliance with the working capital minimum requirement set by the state of California with approximately $6,101,000 of working capital.
