Revenues are derived from the provision of data collection and desensitization services for compliance with legal requirements. Revenues are recognized over time as the services are performed because customers receive and consume the benefit of the performance of services throughout the contract period.

Map service platform local deployment

Through local deployment, EMG provides a one-time map service platform license or a map service platform license for a contracted period to certain public sectors and enterprises to support location-based applications with updates to the map service platform during such contracted period.

As a result of the factors described above, the Company’s net loss was $11,590,311 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to net loss of $22,458,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of $10,868,067 or 48.4%.

Foreign currency translation adjustment

The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries (LK Technology, MMB and Mobile Media) is the U.S. dollar and the functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries incorporated in China is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). The financial statements of the Company’s subsidiaries incorporated in China are translated to U.S. dollars using period end exchange rates for assets and liabilities, and average exchange rates (for the period) for revenue, costs and expenses. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. As a result of foreign currency translations, which are a non-cash adjustment, the Company reported a foreign currency translation gain of $192,501 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to a foreign currency translation gain of $3,293,075 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. This non-cash gain had the effect of decreasing the Company’s reported comprehensive loss.

Comprehensive loss

As a result of the Company’s foreign currency translation adjustment, the Company’s had comprehensive loss for the six months ended June 30, 2024 of $11,782,812, compared to comprehensive loss of $19,165,303 for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. The Company historically relied on cash flow provided by operations and financing to provide its working capital. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had cash balances of approximately $351,021 and $83,986, respectively. A significant portion of these funds are located in financial institutions located in the PRC and will continue to be indefinitely reinvested in the Company’s operations in the PRC.

The following table sets forth a summary of changes in the Company’s working capital from December 31, 2023 to June 30, 2024:

	June 30, 2024			December 31, 2023			Change			Percentage Change
Working capital deficit:
Total current assets	$	7,630,058		$	7,148,724		$	481,334			(6.7	)%
Total current liabilities		96,359,654			100,740,467			(4,380,813	)		(4.3	)%
Working capital deficit:	$	(88,729,596	)	$	(93,591,743	)	$	4,862,147			(5.2	)%

The Company’s working capital deficit decreased by $4,862,147 to a working capital deficit of $88,729,596 at June 30, 2024 from $93,591,743 at December 31, 2023. This decrease in working capital deficit is primarily attributable to an increase in cash of approximately $267,000, an increase in other receivables and prepayment of approximately $1,005,000, a decrease in accounts payable of approximately $198,000, a decrease in accrued liabilities and other payables of approximately $3,510,000 and a decrease in lease liabilities – current portion of approximately $657,000, offset by a decrease in accounts receivable, net of allowance for expected credit losses of approximately $757,000.

The Company had incurred negative cash flows from operating activities and net losses for the six months ended June 30, 2024, which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In order to continue as a going concern and mitigate our liquidity risk, the Company will need additional capital resources, among other things. Management’s plans to obtain such resources for the Company include (1) endeavoring to enter into more sales contracts, (2) increasing proceeds from loans from both unrelated and related parties to provide the resources necessary to fund the development of our business plan and operations, and (3) increasing proceeds from loans from financial institutions and/or existing investors to increase working capital in order to meet capital demands.
